1st (3) (5/4 +44%)Call Nicki |
5/4(+44%) | (3) Call Nicki 5/4, Ran to form to get off the mark when winning a maiden here by 2 1/4l last time; effective 5/6f on sound surface; more to come now handicapping. Has run to a similar level in four starts since her debut, coming home strongly when winning a C\u0026D maiden three weeks ago (good to firm; runner-up went close in a handicap next time); mark adjusted by 4lb since but in the thick of it now handicapping.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2/1 +20%)Tango Hotel |
2/1(+20%) | (2) Tango Hotel 2/1, Improved to get off the mark with bit to spare tried in cheekpieces when winning a maiden at Ffos Las by 2 1/4l last time; effective 5f on soft; more to come. Has improved with each start, running creditably in a valuable seller at Musselburgh on second start, then coming clear in Ffos Las maiden (5f, soft) four weeks ago, where the stiffer test at the trip, soft ground and possibly first-time cheekpieces may all have played a part; this provides a different test but she may be up to it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/1 -38%)Or Another |
9/1(-38%) | (4) Or Another 9/1, Too keen tried in visor beaten 5 1/2l in a nursery at Yarmouth last time; in good form prior; cheekpieces first time; effective at 5f on sound surface; could bounce back now handicapping and tried in cheekpieces. Has ability but he was difficult to keep on the straight and narrow when making his handicap debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last week and was eased inside the final furlong; queried now with first-time visor replaced with cheekpieces.. |

CALL NICKI just gets the vote ahead of fellow last-start winner Tango Hotel on the basis that her success came over this C&D. An impressive winner on that occasion, she now goes handicapping for the first time off what looks a workable mark of 73. Tango Hotel won on soft ground at Ffos Las and should go well providing this quicker surface doesn't catch her out, while Caturra Lights and Or Another aren't completely overlooked.

1st (1) (8/15 +36%)Clementines Star |
8/15(+36%) | (1) Clementines Star 8/15, Game and ran to form up to 7f when second beaten a neck in a novice at Southwell latest; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; likeable and consistent. Hooded for her first three starts; third at Newcastle (6f, AW) in two starts last year and also ran well in two starts this term (turf/AW), most recently when beaten a neck at Southwell (hood removed) 11 days ago on her first try at this trip; returns to turf and she has strong claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 +0%)Princess Honey Bee |
11/4(+0%) | (3) Princess Honey Bee 11/4, Disappointing for no obvious reason when fourth beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden at Epsom final start as a 2yo; effective 7f, acts on good to soft and AW; should return to something like form on seasonal debut. Promising third of eight on her debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) behind a subsequent Group 3 winner last summer but she was below that level on her next two starts, including when last of four at Epsom last August on her final start for Eve Johnson Houghton; absent since and the market should be informative on her stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 0%)Dolo's Star |
4/1(0%) | (2) Dolo's Star 4/1, Jockey looking down as dropped away and probably something amiss down the field in a handicap at Leicester most recent start; effective 5f, bred to get further, acts on AW; was progressing prior to latest run and may bounce back. Ran well when runner-up at Southwell (5f, AW) on her final start for Grant Tuer but she was tailed off in a handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) on her debut for this stable; steps up in trip with a bit to prove.. |

CLEMENTINES STAR can edge a trappy maiden if building on an improved Southwell effort last time when beaten just a neck into second. Dolo's Star can be forgiven one bad run at Leicester given her previous form was pretty good, most notably when beaten less than a length into second two starts back. Princess Honey Bee is also a player on her return to the fray.

1st (2) (4/7 +29%)Lyrics Of Life |
4/7(+29%) | (2) Lyrics Of Life 4/7, Did too much too soon down the field in Sandringham handicap at Ascot most recent; hood first time; effective 1m, acts on good and fast ground; isn't progressing but sets high standard on 2yo form. Threatened on occasions as a 2yo and also excelled herself when a close fifth in a Group 3 in France (1m, very soft) last October; began her 3yo campaign with two solid efforts but she was well beaten at Royal Ascot four weeks ago; hood now tried and a tongue tie returns; won't find a better chance to break her duck.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6/4 -36%)Quisana |
6/4(-36%) | (3) Quisana 6/4, Outpaced, needed stiffer test beaten 2 1/4l in a 7f novice at Doncaster last time; in good form prior; hood first time; effective 7f/1m on sound surface; more to come, chance here. Similar form in her three starts (7f-1m, good or faster), going close at this track in May and turning in another solid effort when fifth at Doncaster last month; returning to 1m should suit and she won't need much improvement for the addition of a hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (66/1 +0%)Fallen Logic |
66/1(+0%) | (1) Fallen Logic 66/1, Outpaced, modest effort well beaten in a maiden at Ffos Las only start; bred to be suited by middle to staying trips; likely one for longer distance handicaps further down the line. 125-1 when offering little short-term encouragement on last month's debut (7.3f, good).. |

LYRICS OF LIFE couldn't land a blow in the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot but must have a great chance dropping markedly in class for this maiden. She isn't going to get many better opportunities to break through. Like the selection, Quisana sports a first-time hood and could improve on her form to make a race of it. Fallen Logic is up against it.

1st (2) (1/1 +9%)Classy Clarets |
1/1(+9%) | (2) Classy Clarets 1/1, Ran at least to form under a good ride landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Catterick last time; effective 5-7f, suited by a sound surface and AW; in good form and escapes penalty this time. Enjoying a fine season and his fifth win (including over C\u0026D) of the campaign came at Wolverhampton (7f) two days ago when completing a quick hat-trick; leading claims turned out under a 5lb penalty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/1 -29%)Great Profit |
9/1(-29%) | (3) Great Profit 9/1, Best work late down to 5f beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Ayr last time; effective 5f; chance if building on latest. Low-mileage sort who posted easily his best effort for new yard with second in 5f Ayr handicap last month; needs considering off an unchanged mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (9/1 +36%)Sixcor |
9/1(+36%) | (8) Sixcor 9/1, Won this last year; never in it from off the pace beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective 5/6f, probably best at minimum trip, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; more needed. Took this in 2025 but winless since and just a fair fifth of eight over C\u0026D five days ago; this veteran needs to take a step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (10/3 -11%)Wee Mary |
10/3(-11%) | (4) Wee Mary 10/3, Lacked pace seventh beaten 5l off 55 last time, same mark here; top course jockey/trainer combination; suited by 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW, possibly not soft; chance at best. Gained a second win of 2026 at Musselburgh (5f) in June; only seventh of 11 in 5f Ayr handicap three days ago so she needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (16/1 -60%)Henery Hawk |
16/1(-60%) | (1) Henery Hawk 16/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form back up to 6f third beaten 4l off 59 last time, same mark here; wide draw; suited by 5/6f, acts on sound surface; continues in decent form. Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in May and comes here on the back of a solid third of 13 in 6f Ayr handicap ten days ago; must enter calculations eased 1lb in his bid for a first turf victory.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 +0%)Realistic Dream |
33/1(+0%) | (7) Realistic Dream 33/1, Lacked pace beaten 4l off this mark here last time; effective 5-7f, acts on yielding and good; mark easing but needs more. Remains winless and she beat one over C\u0026D five days ago; more is required if she's to gain a breakthrough win at the 12th attempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (8/1 +11%)Fear And Fast |
8/1(+11%) | (6) Fear And Fast 8/1, Found little, below form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Musselburgh last time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good to firm; needs more. 0-20 and he arrives below par, just fifth of ten in 5f Musselburgh handicap last month; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (50/1 -127%)You Mystify Me |
50/1(-127%) | (5) You Mystify Me 50/1, Found little, below form beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 5f on sound surface; not the biggest, needs more. Runner-up in C\u0026D novice in May but she has failed to go on sent handicapping, last of ten at Musselburgh (5f) last month; cheekpieces are reached for now.. |

WEE MARY might be worth chancing in this sprint handicap and is better judged on her last couple of Musselburgh efforts rather than a lacklustre display at Ayr on Monday. She's performed well before on the quick turnaround and gets the nod ahead of Great Profit, who showed a lot more at Ayr last month. Fear And Fast isn't without claims either.

1st (5) (4/5 +42%)Hatamoto |
4/5(+42%) | (5) Hatamoto 4/5, Enjoyed an uncontested lead and won a tad cosily in a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Beverley last time; cheekpieces first time; stays an extended mile, acts on any though hits the ground hard; likeable and remains on a decent mark, big chance given easy lead. Posted an improved effort when runner-up at Ripon (1m, good) last month and went one better at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm; made all) two weeks ago, form that has since been franked by the second; cheekpieces now go on and he should give it a good go from the front.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/1 +23%)Leelawadee |
5/1(+23%) | (4) Leelawadee 5/1, Fair run having pulled hard early when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden here latest; top course trainer; stays 7f, acts on good to soft and good, sound surface should suit action; open to improvement if will settle. Well held on her debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in April but she has taken a small step forward in each of her two starts since; kept on into fourth at Thirsk (7f, good) last month and could be suited by this step up to 1m on her handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2/1 +73%)Lady Britain |
2/1(+73%) | (1) Lady Britain 2/1, Landed a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Beverley penultimate start; out of depth final start at 2yo; trainer in form; suited by stiff 7f and sound surface; progressive prior to limitations being exposed in valuable race latest start and on a good mark. Won two nurseries at Beverley over 7.5f last August (both on good to firm) but she struggled in a competitive sales race at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) in September when last seen; returns off a mark 8lb higher than for that latest success but she can't be dismissed back in a handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (22/1 +45%)Scheffler |
22/1(+45%) | (3) Scheffler 22/1, Unenthusiastic and eased down the field in a handicap at Carlisle most recent start; speedily-bred but gets 7f, acts on AW; form has gone wrong way and looks irresolute. Promising third at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March but he was well beaten on his other two outings for Richard Hughes, and he was beaten a long way on his stable/handicap debut at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month; dropped 5lb.. |

SANDY CRAIC produced an improved performance to score at Carlisle and proved that was no flash in the pan when posting a solid second at Beverley last time. Now that the penny has dropped, David O'Meara's charge can continue her progression and register another victory. Hatamoto won't go down without a fight following his all-the-way Beverley success, while Lady Britain is another interesting contender.

1st (3) (10/3 +44%)So Smart |
10/3(+44%) | (3) So Smart 10/3, Hung under pressure in a handicap at Ffos Las most recent run; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, seems to act on any; C&D winner on workable mark but becoming frustrating. C\u0026D winner; should be well treated now but that has been the case for a while and he keeps finding one or two too strong; conditions no problem and likely to give his running again; stable also run Savannah Smiles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (13/8 +35%)Savannah Smiles |
13/8(+35%) | (2) Savannah Smiles 13/8, Improved on recent form up in trip under positive ride landing a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 5-6f, acts on any; back in form after wind fixed, remains on workable mark, could follow up. Back on the up following a wind op in May, placed at Bath and over C\u0026D before making all in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; a 4lb rise asks more of her but she should give another good account; stable also run So Smart.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/4 +36%)Dragon God |
9/4(+36%) | (4) Dragon God 9/4, Improved a little on recent form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 5-7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; exposed maiden can go well off this mark. 0-12 but he has been threatening for Tony Carroll this year, most recently finishing second in a C\u0026D handicap 19 days ago; should get a good pace to aim at and unlikely to be far away again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/2 +50%)River Edge |
9/2(+50%) | (5) River Edge 9/2, Needed run 3l third in a classified race here most recent run; might need to learn to concentrate in running; probably flattered by novice form but should come on for latest. He was returning from 736 days on the sidelines when third of eight in a 0-50 classified event over C\u0026D (good to firm) two weeks ago; tired in the closing stages on that occasion and he should last longer with the run behind him; open to improvement.. |

PUNCHBOWL FLYER arrives in the middle of a real purple patch and the wily nine-year-old is difficult to get away from chasing three wins on the spin. He gamely doubled up at Ffos Las following an all-the-way success over 6f here and another bold showing looks assured. Savannah Smiles and So Smart bring winning C&D form to the table and are others to bear in mind.

1st (3) (2/13 +54%)My Mate Roger |
2/13(+54%) | (3) My Mate Roger 2/13, Ran to form when second beaten 6l in a novice at Doncaster latest; cheekpieces first time; suited by 1m-10f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; chance again here down to 1m. Has shown fair form when runner-up on all four starts, most recently in 1m2f novice at Doncaster last month; since gelded and this son of Blue Point is the one to beat with cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (12/1 -9%)Matter Of Britain |
12/1(-9%) | (2) Matter Of Britain 12/1, Yard won this last year; Victor Ludorum gelding; half-brother to Brastias, useful at 7f as a 2yo; dam fair at 10f; already had a wind op but respected on debut. Victor Ludorum gelding; half-brother to 7f 2yo winner Brastias (RPR 72); dam 1m-1m6f maiden (RPR 66), sister to 1m4f-15.5f winner Theatro; has had wind surgery ahead of his debut but in good hands and needs considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (40/1 -100%)Al Fujairah |
40/1(-100%) | (5) Al Fujairah 40/1, Never in it after a slow start when 10l fourth in a maiden here first-time out; major improvement needed. 66-1, hinted at promise with a staying-on fourth of seven in maiden here (1m1f, good to firm) on his debut three weeks ago; this son of Churchill can do better in the longer term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (250/1 -67%)Blairtum Night |
250/1(-67%) | (1) Blairtum Night 250/1, Never in it after a slow start comfortably held in a novice at Carlisle last time; type to do better when handicapping. Well held in a pair of 7f novices at Newcastle and Carlisle eight months apart; significantly more is required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (9/2 -35%)Test Run |
9/2(-35%) | (4) Test Run 9/2, Solid debut effort at a big price when 7 1/4l fourth in a maiden at Doncaster; returning from long layoff; effective at 8f on soft; sort to do better at three. Sent off 80-1 but shaped well when fourth of ten in Doncaster maiden (1m, soft) on his debut in September; off since but this Time Test gelding remains with potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (80/1 -100%)Shatin Beauty |
80/1(-100%) | (6) Shatin Beauty 80/1, Never in it after a slow start beaten 10l in a maiden at Ayr on debut; much more needed. 40-1 and green when a never-dangerous sixth of eight in maiden at Ayr (6f, soft) on her debut last month; needs to take a big step forward.. |

MY MATE ROGER gets first-time cheekpieces for this assignment and can finally break through. He was beaten at skinny odds at Doncaster latest but his form prior to that was quite strong in the context of this race and he's not going to get many better opportunities than this. He's taken to strike at the expense of Test Run and Matter Of Britain.

1st (2) (7/1 -8%)Angel Numbers |
7/1(-8%) | (2) Angel Numbers 7/1, Below best but better effort beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; effective 5f, acts on sound surface; mark is falling but a few modest efforts to overcome. Winless since her debut but she has been runner-up on three occasions, including at Bath (5f, firm) in April; below that level on her final three starts for the Newland/Insole yard and makes her stable debut having been bought for 12,000gns.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 +40%)Straight Ahead |
3/1(+40%) | (1) Straight Ahead 3/1, Below form for no obvious reason beaten 8l in a handicap at York last time; wide draw; suited by 5f, gets 6f, acts on a sound surface and AW; promise 3yo debut, may return to form and could step-up on that effort. Ended 2025 with two wins on the AW at Newcastle and reappeared with a good fourth over this C\u0026D in May; failed to build on that at York (5f, good) last month but now drops in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (12/1 -50%)Under The Radar |
12/1(-50%) | (8) Under The Radar 12/1, Poor effort beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 5f, acts on sound surfaces; bit to prove after two disappointing runs. Sole win came over this C\u0026D last May on his second start and he ran respectably when sixth of 12 here in May; however, he's run below that level in two starts since and needs to bounce back returned to this track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/4 +10%)Simba's Pride |
9/4(+10%) | (4) Simba's Pride 9/4, Yard won this last year; didn't really settle but game and ran at least to form when third beaten 1/2l off 68 last time, same mark here; cheekpieces first time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, all races on a sound surface; in excellent form and would probably rate more highly if settled. Doubled his tally when winning at Ripon (6f, good) in May and ran well when third here over 6f two weeks ago; cheekpieces are now added but he will likely need them to go a good gallop dropped back in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (10/3 +44%)Yellow Diamonds |
10/3(+44%) | (7) Yellow Diamonds 10/3, Bit below best probably wanting slower surface beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on AW but give suits best; going could be too fast to be ideal. Won a fillies' novice at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on her final start for Kevin Philippart de Foy and has posted some respectable efforts for this stable, including when fourth at Newcastle three weeks ago; place claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (15/2 +46%)Empress Olivia |
15/2(+46%) | (3) Empress Olivia 15/2, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Ripon in April; disappointing tried in cheekpieces last time; effective 5f/6f, acts on soft and good; has lost form. Both wins have been at Ripon over 6f, the most recent on good to soft in April; reported to have bled from the nose when failing to beat a rival at York (5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) last month and needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (22/1 -267%)Vinciamo |
22/1(-267%) | (6) Vinciamo 22/1, No match for easy winner but ran to form when second beaten 6l in a handicap at Redcar latest; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface and AW; mark looks fair. 0-6 but he went close in a novice at Catterick (5f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) in May; behind a few of these at York last month and was beaten 6l when runner-up at Redcar four weeks ago; dropped 3lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (22/1 -22%)Houndhill |
22/1(-22%) | (5) Houndhill 22/1, Scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back; never really travelled last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on good to firm and AW; seems to have lost enthusiasm. Had a visor on for the first time when winning at Newcastle (5f, AW) in May but he's been well beaten in both starts since, including here over 6f last time; headgear is now discarded.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (50/1 -257%)Davorge Nation |
50/1(-257%) | (9) Davorge Nation 50/1, Poor effort first run after a wind operation comfortably held in a handicap at Leicester last time; effective 5f, acts on good, fast ground and AW, not at best on easy ground either start; needs to confirm breathing procedure has worked. Won at Musselbugh (5f, good) last August but he's struggled on his last two outings, including on his reappearance at Leicester (5f, good) last month following a wind operation; best watched.. |

SIMBA'S PRIDE gave notice his winning turn could be fast approaching when he was beaten just half a length into third here last time. The combination of the drop back to the minimum distance and first-time cheekpieces could help him settle better and this looks a good opening. Yellow Diamonds and Vinciamo are the ones expected to put up most resistance.

5/1(-186%) | (6) Amber Ocean 5/1, Knew job and solid effort runner-up beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden at Wolverhampton only start; returning from a break; speedily-bred, effective 5f, acts on AW; strong sort, enthusiastic as most of sire's progeny are. Promising start to her career when second of eight in an early-season fillies' maiden at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) 101 days ago; the winner and third from that race are both decent performers and she looks a likely type on her return from a break.. |

2nd (1) (5/6 +52%)Blondie Larry |
5/6(+52%) | (1) Blondie Larry 5/6, Improved for debut experience when second beaten a length in a novice at Windsor latest; sprint-bred, should be effective 5f, sound surfaces will suit action; latest form looks good, should go close. Finished in midfield on his debut at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) last month; better form when second of eight at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 16 days later; holds leading form claims while retaining the potential for further progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/1 +0%)Chianti |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Chianti 10/1, Improved a little for debut experience when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Leicester latest; seems effective 5f; further improvement likely. Modest form in two 5f runs last month (gelded after debut, a race for which he was sent off the 15-8 favourite); still early days but nurseries may provide richer pickings.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (18/1 -13%)Norham |
18/1(-13%) | (2) Norham 18/1, Sold for 65,000 euros as a yearling; gelding by top-class sprinter Ten Sovereigns; full-brother to Nemonte, very smart at 7f; dam very smart miler Jumellea; probably effective 5f; likely to need this initial experience. 65,000euros yearling; fourth foal; brother to winners Nemonte (6f/7.4f 2yo; RPR 83) and Dahlia Noir (1m; 79); dam Listed-placed 1m-12.5f winner (92), half-sister to 1m2f 2yo Group 1 winner Tennessee Stud; bred to need a bit more of a test than this but he is starting out at a realistic level; market should be instructive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (28/1 +58%)Cash Flow Boy |
28/1(+58%) | (4) Cash Flow Boy 28/1, Green and missed the break beaten 8 1/4l in a novice at Windsor on debut; bred for sprinting; should improve a little for initial experience. Dropped away to finish seventh of eight (Blondie Larry second) in a 5f novice at Windsor 19 days ago; open to improvement but likely a longer-term prospect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (13/2 -8%)Chilli |
13/2(-8%) | (9) Chilli 13/2, Very disappointing given market expectations, may have found ground too quick in a novice at Newbury last time; hood first time; effective 5f on soft; must bounce back and ground a worry. Shaped well when fourth over C\u0026D (soft) on debut last month; sent off the 2-1 favourite for a fillies' novice at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on the strength of it but she dropped away to finish eighth of the ten runners (jockey reported the filly boiled over in the preliminaries); now wears a hood; can do better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (17/2 +23%)Secret Rival |
17/2(+23%) | (7) Secret Rival 17/2, Bit free but improved for debut experience beaten 4l in a novice at Newbury last time; trainer in form; pedigree all speed, acts on good to firm; should improve again if settling. Held back by inexperience in her two runs so far, showing better form at the second attempt when sixth of ten at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago; needs more to feature but that isn't out of the question.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (250/1 -150%)Hailstones In May |
250/1(-150%) | (8) Hailstones In May 250/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; bred to be suited by around 7f; yet to show anything, plenty more needed. Poor form in fast-ground maidens at Windsor (5f) and here (7f) this summer; can't be recommended.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (20/1 -43%)Percy Shaw |
20/1(-43%) | (3) Percy Shaw 20/1, Every chance, ran to form when fourth beaten 5l in a novice at Ffos Las latest; pedigree all speed; drop in trip should suit. 28-1 for both starts, running to a similar modest RPR in the process; hopes appear to rest on the drop to 5f and switch to faster ground sparking some improvement.. |

BLONDIE LARRY improved from his first run at Nottingham when finishing second at Windsor and, with more progression to come, Jamie Osborne's juvenile looks to have a novice heat like this well within his compass. Amber Ocean finished an encouraging second on her debut at Wolverhampton in April and has been given time to strengthen up, while Chilli isn't out of it.

1st (4) (15/8 -107%)I'll Be Back |
15/8(-107%) | (4) I'll Be Back 15/8, Easing down line in very strong novice event when winning at Leicester by a length last time; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, likely get 1m, acts on heavy and good; unexposed and form of Latest win emphatically franked since. Justified short odds in 6f Doncaster maiden on sole 2yo start; much better form on reappearance at Leicester (7f, good) in April, looking strong in the closing stages against rivals who have given the form a weighty look since; has to prove stamina over the new trip, and his pedigree is more about sprinting on the dam's side, but still intriguing on handicap debut if ground is thought suitable (missed recent intended run on good to firm).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 +43%)English Oak |
4/1(+43%) | (1) English Oak 4/1, Hung under pressure, below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 7f/1m on sound surface; capable off this mark. High-class handicap form at 6f to 1m on a range of surfaces and he was up against it when second to a progressive winner in this race last year; has since won two handicaps at Meydan for new yard and perhaps felt the lack of a recent run when mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot last month; leading player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (6/1 +29%)Monarch's Gold |
6/1(+29%) | (5) Monarch's Gold 6/1, Ran to form despite interference beaten 10l in a handicap at Epsom last time; effective 6f-1m, acts on good and AW; good attitude, capable off this mark. Two 6f AW wins as a juvenile and he nearly pulled off a step up in trip when going down narrowly at Chester (extended 7f, good) in May; had no chance of getting involved after getting badly hampered on the rail at Epsom in June; gelded since; open to some improvement but he's another trying a new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/8 +69%)Salam Dubawi |
11/8(+69%) | (3) Salam Dubawi 11/8, Ran to form back up to 10f when third beaten 3 1/4l off 87 last time, same mark here; top course jockey/trainer combination; stays 10f, acts on heavy and good to firm; in form, should go well again. Sole French win on heavy ground but he's excelled on good and quicker for new yard, having far too much power for his rivals when making all here (about 1m1f) in May and doing really well to be third (demoted to fifth) in a major York handicap (extended 1m2f) on Saturday; needs a strong pace back at this trip which he may well set himself; good claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (22/1 -38%)Rhoscolyn |
22/1(-38%) | (2) Rhoscolyn 22/1, Below form but with excuses down the field in a handicap at Epsom most recent; effective 7/8f, likes cut; mark has eased, but needs more. A superstar down the years and he's quite well treated again now but all his handicap wins at 7f and 1m have been on downhill tracks on good to soft or slower ground; better days ahead once the rains come.. |

Rhoscolyn has won similar races four times off higher marks, and scored twice here in weaker races, but he will need to bounce back from his Epsom 11th last month where he did not get the run of the race. He can go well, but I'LL BE BACK is the possible improver. The winner of both starts by a length over shorter, he could be well handicapped with the potential for more to come. English Oak is another to consider on his better efforts.

1st (10) (11/2 -22%)Park Lane Penny |
11/2(-22%) | (10) Park Lane Penny 11/2, Hung under pressure or would have won when second beaten a short-head in a classified race at Ayr latest; suited by 1m, acts on good; capable of a bit better than latest and should contend. Struggled on her first three starts but posted an improved effort when narrowly beaten in a classified event at Ayr (1m, good) 11 days ago; showed signs of inexperience that day (hung left) and looks capable of going one better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (20/1 +20%)Here Comes Louie |
20/1(+20%) | (9) Here Comes Louie 20/1, Game and easily best run so far beaten 3l in a handicap at Wetherby last time; effective 10f, acts on fast ground; drop to a mile is counterintuitive but place chance if can reproduce latest over it. Well beaten on his first three starts (1m/1m4f) but he was beaten only 3l when sixth of ten on his handicap debut at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last month; should have more to offer but didn't look to be crying out for this drop back in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (150/1 +0%)Bridgefoot Rambler |
150/1(+0%) | (2) Bridgefoot Rambler 150/1, Looked unenthusiastic despite cheekpieces down the field in a classified race at Leicester most recently; blinkers first time; yet to show any worthwhile form. Struggled in novice/maiden company on her first three starts and it was the same story in a classified event at Leicester (7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; blinkers need to make a difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (13/8 +41%)Trucial Pearl |
13/8(+41%) | (13) Trucial Pearl 13/8, Suited by the step-up to 1m, game and improved when winning a handicap at Ripon by 1/2l last time; acts on good, fast ground and AW; consistent, likeable sort and the trip looks ideal . Off the mark at the 12th attempt when beating seven rivals in a handicap at Ripon (1m, good) four weeks ago; that was her first go over 1m and she drops into a classified event with solid claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (10/1 -18%)Langholm |
10/1(-18%) | (7) Langholm 10/1, Pulled chance away in front when fourth beaten 3l in a classified race at Ayr latest; top course trainer; suited by 7f, acts on any; stamina to prove back at this trip and needs to settle. Dual C\u0026D winner; got up late to win a handicap at Beverley (7.5f, good) last month and ran another respectable race when fourth in a classified event at Ayr (1m; Park Lane Penny was second) 11 days ago; claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (28/1 -155%)Aspire To Glory |
28/1(-155%) | (1) Aspire To Glory 28/1, Ran to balance of poor recent form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Leicester last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on an easy surface and AW; unproven on fast ground and out of sorts of late. Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes, the most recent coming at Chelmsford last August; 5lb lower than for that success but he's been well held in four starts since joining this stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (8/1 +27%)Create |
8/1(+27%) | (5) Create 8/1, Ran in snatches under pressure but better effort in cheekpieces when fourth beaten 2l in a handicap at Doncaster latest; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; not in love with the game but cheekpieces did help a bit last time. Won twice over 1m at Southwell last year; struggled on her first four outings this term but returned to some form when fourth of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; needs to build on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (6/1 +33%)Copper And Five |
6/1(+33%) | (4) Copper And Five 6/1, Didn't look all that keen under pressure and bit below form beaten 4l in a handicap at Beverley last time; effective around 1m, acts on soft and good to firm; not at best last two starts but chance it enthusiasm is rekindled. C\u0026D winner who was runner-up over 8.5f at Beverley in April and May; below his best over that same C\u0026D last month but has good claims on his first try in classified company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (14/1 -180%)Regal Knight |
14/1(-180%) | (12) Regal Knight 14/1, Raced too freely in blinkers but better effort when 2l third in a handicap at Beverley most recent run; stays 10f, acts on sound surface; capable of better than has been showing of late but needs to settle. Eight-race maiden but he did run one of his better races when third of seven at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) two weeks ago; claims if backing that up in a switch of headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (18/1 +18%)Without Delay |
18/1(+18%) | (8) Without Delay 18/1, Poor effort beaten 9l in a handicap at Catterick last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; in very poor form of late though return to a mile may help. The most recent of her five wins came at Catterick last July; third there over 7f in May but she's struggled in three outings since, including back at Catterick eight days ago; others have stronger claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (20/1 -43%)Can I Kiss You |
20/1(-43%) | (3) Can I Kiss You 20/1, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap at Beverley latest; effective 8-10f, acts on yielding and fast ground; below par last two starts. Ex-Irish maiden who was runner-up at Gowran Park (1m, good to yielding) in May but below that level in both starts since, including when last of 14 on her yard debut at Beverley (8.5f, good) a month ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (17/2 +6%)I Can Boogy |
17/2(+6%) | (6) I Can Boogy 17/2, Ran to form just tiring and losing a length near line when 1 1/4l third in a handicap at Newcastle most recent run; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; return to turf is a concern but chance if reproducing recent AW form. Three-time winner, the most recent in a classified at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February; ran well there three weeks ago and has to be considered returned to this level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (80/1 -220%)Queenies Pal |
80/1(-220%) | (11) Queenies Pal 80/1, Every chance, bit below form beaten 7l in a classified race at Ayr last time; effective 6f, should get further; up against it on what we've seen of her of late. Eight-race maiden who failed to improved for the addition of a tongue-tie (retained) at Ayr (1m, soft) last month; better needed.. |

Three-year-olds won both divisions of this contest last season and they may strike again with TRUCIAL PEARL, a distance winner last time out at Ripon when getting on top close home to succeed by half a length. She could follow up with Joanna Mason keeping the ride, but she still faces plenty of dangers. Park Lane Penny arrives on the back of a close-up second at Ayr and is not to be dismissed, with Langholm possibly the best of the older horses.

1st (4) (14/1 -17%)Kodi Fire |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Kodi Fire 14/1, Never threatened, bit below form in a handicap at Brighton latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 7/8f, probably gets extended 9f, acts on a sound surface; back on last winning mark but yet to fire this term. Well placed to rattle off a fast-ground hat-trick last summer (7f/1m); this campaign has been harder work but he fared a bit better last time, is down to a winning mark and now wears cheekpieces for the first time; not solid, but a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/1 -67%)Dappled Light |
5/1(-67%) | (5) Dappled Light 5/1, Scored by a head off a 5lb lower mark at Bath penultimate start; improved again back down in trip just out-battled late last time, 2lb higher here; suited by 1m, acts on yielding, fast ground and AW; stiff mark now but in form. Picked up a couple of Class 6 events at Bath this summer and he wasn't beaten far in his hat-trick bid at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) 16 days ago; another 2lb higher today but this C\u0026D winner should give it another good go.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (17/2 +0%)Rating |
17/2(+0%) | (6) Rating 17/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Bath three starts back; outpaced, needed stiffer test last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; in decent form this term, mark demands more. 8lb better off with Dappled Light for a half-length defeat at Bath (1m, good to firm) in May; won a small-field handicap back at Bath four days later but two runs in Class 5 events since haven't been so good; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (6/1 -50%)Echalar |
6/1(-50%) | (2) Echalar 6/1, Returned to form down in class and trip beaten 1 1/2l off this mark here last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft and AW; 2lb below last winning mark, not one to rely on building on latest. Ran his best race for this yard when keeping on for third in a C\u0026D handicap 19 days ago; now has something to build on and Billy Loughnane a positive booking for the stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/1 +10%)Penelope Valentine |
9/1(+10%) | (3) Penelope Valentine 9/1, Didn't stay 10f in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; in good form prior; effective 7-9f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; back in form until latest, mark high enough. Four-time AW winner who ran her best race on turf when second of seven, beaten a neck, at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in May; failed to back it up at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm; cheekpieces rather than visor) four weeks ago; this trip should be more suitable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (5/6 +44%)Stenmark |
5/6(+44%) | (1) Stenmark 5/6, Ran to form but too much to do having conceded first run after missing the break beaten a neck off this mark at Epsom last time; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; just 1lb above last winning mark and could build on latest revival. 7f AW win for Denis Quinn last season; running well for his new trainer too, most recently finishing a neck second at Epsom (good to firm) last week; runs off the same mark (1lb well in) and he is respected, for all his stamina for 1m has to be conclusively proven.. |

The decision to turn STENMARK out quickly following last week's close second at Epsom suggests he's come out of that race in good nick and the manner of that performance gives hope this step back up to a mile will suit. Dappled Light couldn't complete the three-timer at Ffos Las but certainly cannot be given up on, while Penelope Valentine is another to consider closely.

1st (3) (2/1 +0%)Inspired |
2/1(+0%) | (3) Inspired 2/1, Ran to form back up to 1m beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on a sound surface and AW; consistent, can go well again. Scored at Newcastle (1m) in December and has proved reliable without adding to his tally this season, a clear second of seven to Jannas Journey in 1m Carlisle handicap 12 days ago; not taken lightly despite a 2lb weights rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/1 -57%)Break The Bank |
11/1(-57%) | (4) Break The Bank 11/1, Bit keen but back to best tried in blinkers beaten 3/4l off this mark at Ayr last time; effective 1m-10f on heavy, good to firm and AW; chance if building on latest. A fair 1m scorer for Andrew Balding in 2024; off 22 months but quickly back on track with second of ten in 1m2f handicap at Ayr 11 days ago; needs considering off an unchanged mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/1 +23%)Sanafi Zabeel |
5/1(+23%) | (5) Sanafi Zabeel 5/1, Back to form down to 1m on drier ground third beaten 1 1/2l off 66 last time, same mark here; top course trainer; effective 1m-10f, acts on any; capable off this mark. Ex-German 1m1f winner; gained a first win for current yard over C\u0026D in May and not discredited when third of five (Kaleido runner-up) over C\u0026D five days ago; not out of things with relatively few miles still on the clock.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/3 -33%)Jannas Journey |
10/3(-33%) | (2) Jannas Journey 10/3, Travelled, hit the line well up to 1m landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; top course trainer; effective 6-9f, acts on any; mare in fine form, chance again here. Gained a first win of 2026 in 1m handicap at Carlisle 12 days ago, getting up late to deny Inspired having been set a lot to do; bagged a remarkable seven successes (including here) last season so merits serious consideration now she's up and running this time around.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/4 +36%)Kaleido |
9/4(+36%) | (1) Kaleido 9/4, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time; effective 7/8f on sound surface; in form, should go well once more. A fair 7f winner for John and Thady Gosden last summer; has steadily found his form for current yard, runner-up in five-runner event over C\u0026D five days ago; player off an unchanged mark.. |

BREAK THE BANK looked to be coming to a peak when second at Ayr off 1lb lower on only his second start since August 2024. If the blinkers work a second time, he could try to make all back at the mile. Kaleido ran into traffic issues before finishing second here last time and may have to settle for more of the same, while Inspired and Jannas Journey look closely matched on their recent meeting.

1st (1) (3/1 -20%)Captain Cess |
3/1(-20%) | (1) Captain Cess 3/1, Gap came late and not really all out beaten a length off this mark at Wetherby last time; effective 6-8f, best on a sound surface but acts on good to soft; inconsistent maiden, unexposed at 7f, chance on latest couple of runs. Ten-race maiden but he went close at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) on his final start for Adrian Wintle, and ran well at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm; didn't get the clearest run) last month on his stable debut; this trip will be no issue and he's considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 +31%)Coconut Bay |
11/4(+31%) | (3) Coconut Bay 11/4, Ran to recent form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; mark still easing but remains stiff based on last two starts. Won four times last year, the most recent coming at Catterick off a 9lb higher mark than today's; her last two efforts have been solid and she's an each-way contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (40/1 -122%)Elashgar |
40/1(-122%) | (6) Elashgar 40/1, Game but looked slow beaten 9l in a 6f handicap at Catterick last time; effective 6f on AW but has appeared to lack pace at trip on turf; very likeable attitude and step-up to 7f may help. Won a handicap at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February and was runner-up there over 5f on his next start; below his best on turf on his last two outings and has a bit to prove on this surface on his first try over 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (10/1 -25%)Misemerald |
10/1(-25%) | (7) Misemerald 10/1, Ran about to form despite racing too freely back in cheekpieces when 6l third in a handicap at Carlisle most recent run; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; has regressed but mark is fair. Yet to win in handicap company but she's been placed on her last two outings, most recently at Carlisle (1m, good) 12 days ago; drops back in trip with each-way claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5/2 +55%)Night Emperor |
5/2(+55%) | (5) Night Emperor 5/2, Hanging under pressure and never under a drive beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective at 6f, hasn't convinced at 7f, acts on good; ground and trip are question marks but consistent of late. Nine-race maiden but he's been shaping quite well in recent starts, including when fourth of 18 here last time over 6f, doing best of those drawn low; looks worth another try over this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/2 +45%)Emerald Army |
11/2(+45%) | (2) Emerald Army 11/2, Game effort given wide trip and too much to do beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on any; largely in good form and on a competitive mark. Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (40/1 -371%)Crown Of Dreams |
40/1(-371%) | (9) Crown Of Dreams 40/1, Outclassed and flattered by proximity to winner down the field in a novice at Doncaster most recent; handicap debut but yet to show any reliable form. Beaten 13l when sixth of 12 on her debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in April and has been well beaten in both starts since (7.5f/7f); makes her handicap debut with better needed.. |

66/1(-313%) | (4) Fair Isle Sioux 66/1, Game and similar form to debut though may not have stayed 1m in a novice here last time; may prove best over 7f; not on too strenuous a mark for handicap debut and has shown minor promise. Lightly-raced 6yo mare who has hinted at ability in two of her three starts (6f/1m; soft/good to firm) but she was still well beaten here two weeks ago; drops back in trip on her handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (16/1 -100%)Forever Twenty |
16/1(-100%) | (8) Forever Twenty 16/1, Ran to recent form tried in cheekpieces beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Beverley last time; effective 7f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; mark easing but has been a bit below best of late. Eight-race maiden whose best effort came when a 1l third of nine at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) in May; had cheekpieces on for the first time (quickly discarded) when a fair third of six at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 12 days ago.. |

Ivan Furtado sends two here looking for success, though Crown Of Dreams may be the stable pick with Silvestre De Sousa booked to ride. She will need a step up after finishing tenth at Doncaster but drops significantly in class for her handicap debut. CAPTAIN CESS arrives on the back of creditable efforts in defeat at Chepstow and Wetherby, and he looks the one to beat. Misemerald and Coconut Bay are others for the shortlist.

1st (7) (1/3 +46%)Star Of State |
1/3(+46%) | (7) Star Of State 1/3, Yard won this last year; promising debut when runner-up beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden at Fairyhouse only start; trainer in form; effective 6f on good; good chance again. Chased home a strongly-fancied rival from the Ger Lyons stable at Fairyhouse last week; should go one better now, since the winner had two runs under her belt and is reportedly a candidate for the valuable Ballyhane Stakes; stable maintaining terrific form.. |

5th (8) (25/1 +11%)Whosinterviewinwho |
25/1(+11%) | (8) Whosinterviewinwho 25/1, Modest debut beaten 7 1/2l in an auction race at Roscommon on debut; wide draw; drop in trip not sure to suit. Fair first effort at Roscommon with this rider aboard; stable's newcomer has a senior rider aboard; will probably need a handicap mark.. |

8th (12) (150/1 -50%)Siege Of Tyre |
150/1(-50%) | (12) Siege Of Tyre 150/1, Moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden at Cork only start; major improvement needed. Gave problems at the start and never showed with a chance first time out at Cork.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (100/1 +0%)Little Diva |
100/1(+0%) | (10) Little Diva 100/1, Lacked pace after a sluggish start beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden at Bellewstown on debut; wide draw; longer trip should suit here. Made late headway from an unpromising position at Bellewstown; longer trip should suit, but needs to find considerable improvement.. |

STAR OF STATE makes plenty of appeal on the back of a hugely encouraging debut. She came through late on to take second place behind the promising Livenka over a trip close to this at Fairyhouse last week and that experience should stand her in good stead. Pink Venom improved on her initial outing here when third behind the selection's stablemate Alwaysanangel at Fairyhouse last time. She might well reach the frame again, while the newcomers This That and Not You Too might also be considered.

1st (5) (10/1 -11%)Too Much Trevor |
10/1(-11%) | (5) Too Much Trevor 10/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form just tiring late on back up in trip last time, same mark here; effective 6-8f, acts on soft and good to firm; in good form since finally getting his head in front. Off the mark at the 31st attempt when winning a 6f handicap here (soft) last month; not quite so good twice since but he is still capable of a prominent showing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (9/1 +10%)Scarfo |
9/1(+10%) | (12) Scarfo 9/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form but unable to reel in all the way winner when second last time, same mark here; effective 7/8f, acts on cut, good and AW; can again go well off a competitive mark. In good form over 1m last month, winning here (soft) before solid placed efforts both here and at Ffos Las; drops back to 7f and probably needs to improve for it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/2 +45%)Ajrad |
11/2(+45%) | (4) Ajrad 11/2, Never threatened, bit below form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on any; mark easing but needs more. Has three course wins over 1m but has found it tougher going this year; slowly easing in the weights but dropping back to 7f is not enough to tempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (11/1 +8%)Weston Court |
11/1(+8%) | (13) Weston Court 11/1, Back to form beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time; effective 7f, suited by 8f, acts best on fast ground; out of form until latest, not one to rely on building on that. He ran his best race for some time when second of five in a handicap over C\u0026D (good to firm) last week; fair fourth at Bath on Wednesday but others appeal more for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (13/2 -160%)Tomarlo |
13/2(-160%) | (1) Tomarlo 13/2, Back to better form making the running landing a handicap by a length off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5/6f, suited by AW, acts on soft; one good run at 7f but often disappoints at trip. Made all to win a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; had form at this trip in Ireland and he comes here in preference to an intended Wolverhampton run on Tuesday; suspicion remains that he's likely to prove a cut above this level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (13/2 +0%)Ravenglass |
13/2(+0%) | (9) Ravenglass 13/2, Unsuited by drop in trip beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on most; chance back up in trip. Strong at the finish when winning a C\u0026D handicap last May off 1lb higher; retains all his ability, in the frame on his last two start, and going back over this trip will suit; one of two runners for the stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (10/1 +50%)Green Icon |
10/1(+50%) | (3) Green Icon 10/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Limerick most recent; appears best at 6-8f, acts with cut; needs a fair bit of improvement. Promising 2yo for Owen Burrows (RPR 83); 0-20 in Ireland for Denis Hogan, with 2026 offering no sign of a revival in his fortunes; starts out for a new yard off a lowly mark so worth a precautionary market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (7/2 +22%)Autumn Angel |
7/2(+22%) | (8) Autumn Angel 7/2, Scored by a short-head off a 5lb lower mark here in May; ran to form last time, 2lb higher here; effective at 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; can go well again at favoured venue. Narrow winner of a 6f handicap here (good to soft) in May and that has been followed by three similar efforts in defeat; creeping up the weights so she will need a bit more now back up to 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (80/1 +20%)Poet |
80/1(+20%) | (14) Poet 80/1, Outpaced, hung, didn't handle track beaten 9 1/4l in a classified race at Brighton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; regressive. Ended a run of finishing last when seventh of 11 at Brighton nine days ago; easy enough to swerve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (28/1 -75%)Ten Club |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Ten Club 28/1, Far too free in a handicap at Bath last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; back below last winning mark, has lost form. Course winner (6f) who won decisively on AW (7f) in November off a 3lb higher mark; recent return to action should have sharpened him up; one of two strong contenders for his trainer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (11) (13/2 +19%)King Of The Dance |
13/2(+19%) | (11) King Of The Dance 13/2, Outpaced, ran to form back down in trip when second beaten 1 1/2l in a classified race at Ffos Las latest; usually held up; effective 7-9f, acts on any; generally consistent but needs more back in a handicap. Infrequent winner; did score over C\u0026D last July off a 3lb higher mark though and his latest Ffos Las second (7.3f, good) was a sound run; each-way shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (14/1 -56%)Romanovich |
14/1(-56%) | (6) Romanovich 14/1, Below form beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; top course trainer; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; needs more. Four of his seven wins have come over C\u0026D; successful off this mark at Wolverhampton in March but not in the same form in four runs since; others look more persuasive.. |

TOMARLO is the only runner arriving with recent winning form after scoring by a length at Wolverhampton last week. With the excellent Billy Loughnane in the saddle, he seems likely to put in a big run, despite his 5lb penalty, with the added furlong an interesting move. Autumn Angel has been knocking on the door with a pair of seconds here over 6f but an added 2lb may anchor her chances, while Ravenglass is also noted.

1st (3) (2/1 -82%)Early Dawning |
2/1(-82%) | (3) Early Dawning 2/1, Bit free but ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a bumper at Fairyhouse latest; effective 2m, acts with cut; debut bumper form franked at Graded level over hurdles, should progress now hurdling for top yard. Very promising start when a close third in valuable Fairyhouse bumper (2m, sft-hvy) in April 2025; not seen again until a 4.5l fourth of five back at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in January; now steps up in trip for hurdling debut after another absence with Townend up; could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (9/4 +32%)Tyson Fury |
9/4(+32%) | (1) Tyson Fury 9/4, Disappointing down in class beaten 4l in a claimer at Limerick last time; effective up to 2m, acts with cut and on AW; useful Flat performer, highly tried over hurdles, has shown enough to land a maiden. Runner up on last two starts over hurdles; rated 117 and leading claims on paper but disappointing effort when beaten at short odds in 1m4f Limerick claimer on the Flat on latest, hanging to the right.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (7/4 +30%)Dawn Coming |
7/4(+30%) | (7) Dawn Coming 7/4, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3 1/2l in a handicap at Limerick latest; tongue-tie first time; effective around 2m over hurdles,, acts with cut; debut form franked at Group level on Flat, consistent over hurdles, should find a race soon. Flat maiden placed on all five starts over hurdles at 2m-2m1f, earning a rating of 118; a shade unlucky on the Flat at Limerick last time; beaten 5.5l when third of 14 on penultimate in a maiden hurdle at Cork; longer trip and good ground are queries; tongue tie goes on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (40/1 -264%)Dunaird |
40/1(-264%) | (2) Dunaird 40/1, Ran to form when second beaten 26l in a Winners Point at Necarne latest; off a short-break; shaped with promise in points, market can guide on rules debut. Affinisea gelding; 1-4 in point-to-points but the form of his win hasn't worked out; beaten 26l when second of two finishers in winners' race at Necarne latest; more needed on belated Rules' debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/1 +56%)Happy Me |
7/1(+56%) | (5) Happy Me 7/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Wexford latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft to heavy and good; flattered by penultimate run, risky. 0-15 over hurdles and rated 100; has a few placed efforts to his name in maidens, but pulled up at Wexford on latest and needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (150/1 -436%)Grabat |
150/1(-436%) | (4) Grabat 150/1, Outpaced, modest debut well beaten in a bumper at Kilbeggan only start; all to prove starting out over hurdles. Soundly beaten in a Kilbeggan bumper on debut a month ago when a 12-1 shot; likely best watched upped in trip for hurdling bow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (100/1 -150%)Roll It Roisin |
100/1(-150%) | (9) Roll It Roisin 100/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a maiden point at Ballingarry last time; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; showed little in points and up against it on hurdle debut. Berkshire mare was pulled up and beaten 21l in two point-to-points; tongue tie is applied for rules debut; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (100/1 -52%)Joly Saphir |
100/1(-52%) | (6) Joly Saphir 100/1, Castle Du Berlais gelding; half-brother to Joly Diamant, fair at 16f and a chase winner; dam unraced; best watched. Castle Du Berlais gelding; unsold as 3yo; half-brother to French 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Joly Risk; dam maiden half-sister to 1m7f-2m5f chase winner Joly Maker; best watched on debut unless the market speaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (8) (80/1 +20%)Eyecanboogie |
80/1(+20%) | (8) Eyecanboogie 80/1, Failed to build on debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; all to prove for now. Remote third in a Kilbeggan bumper on debut for Willie Mullins; poor form so far for this yard, including in maiden hurdles the last twice; hard to fancy.. |

DAWN COMING gained plenty of hurdling experience as a juvenile and arrives here following a spin on the level at Limerick. He is likely to have further improvement to come and could prove too strong for Tyson Fury, who has finished runner-up on his last couple of starts over timber. Early Dawning is expected to progress going over hurdles for the first time and he completes the shortlist.

1st (2) (11/4 -10%)Doon The Glen |
11/4(-10%) | (2) Doon The Glen 11/4, Yard won this last year; did too much in front early when seventh beaten 5l off 49 last time, same mark here; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; bounce back needed. Has an ordinary strike-rate overall but he broke his turf duck over C\u0026D (good to soft; acts well on good to firm) in June and nearly always runs well in sprints on this track; one of the better options.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/2 -35%)Tarlac |
9/2(-35%) | (3) Tarlac 9/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; chance here with mark eased again. Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C\u0026D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/1 -83%)Baby Rover |
11/1(-83%) | (5) Baby Rover 11/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Ayr last time; trainer in form; effective 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; inconsistent but capable. Had a good run of form in early summer last year, getting off the mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm), but rather up and down since and she found little at Ayr ten days ago; hard to rule out if back to best, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/2 -22%)Lady Bouquet |
11/2(-22%) | (4) Lady Bouquet 11/2, Ran to form back up to 6f beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Pontefract last time; effective 5/6f, probably acts on any; chance in poor race. All three turf wins at 5f, including on this course, but she has won over this trip on the AW and ran well enough over 6f at Pontefract (good) recently to expect her to be on the premises.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (2/1 +64%)Rain Cap |
2/1(+64%) | (1) Rain Cap 2/1, Didn't quite see out 7f beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time; effective 6/7f, has handled soft but sound surface suits best nowadays; capable off this mark. Won this race in 2022 and finished runner-up in two of three subsequent runnings; looked to be running into form again when fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago and a very good run is likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (25/1 +62%)Bring Her Home |
25/1(+62%) | (7) Bring Her Home 25/1, Needed run after a wind op at Ayr latest; top course trainer; might come on for latest but hasn't shown much to date. Minor form in a handful of starts, including at classified level and in handicaps, but this is only her third run for Jim Goldie and the return to 6f could suit on second run since wind surgery; may yet improve; cheekpieces fitted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (17/2 -55%)A Lady Forever |
17/2(-55%) | (6) A Lady Forever 17/2, Ran to form down to 5f beaten 3l off this mark at Newcastle last time; effective 5/6f, suited by sound surface; chance if building on latest. Winning return from a long absence in early 2025 but she's finding it hard to sustain her effort in sprints on AW and turf this year, even allowing for finishing second of eight on Newcastle AW (5f) in June; headgear left off; up against it.. |

DOON THE GLEN makes a quick reappearance having paid the price for setting a strong pace under an apprentice rider at Ayr three days ago. Only 2lb higher than last month's C&D success, he gets another chance with Paul Mulrennan taking over the reins. Tarlac posted a better effort here last time having tumbled down the handicap. He could be thereabouts at the business end, as could the recent Pontefract third Lady Bouquet.

1st (1) (15/2 +17%)Capital Guarantee |
15/2(+17%) | (1) Capital Guarantee 15/2, Much better effort after three terrible runs beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Beverley last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; hinted strongly at a return to form last time but risky. A three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025, including over this C\u0026D; mainly below his best this season but he didn't run too badly when sixth at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; on a handy mark and now drops in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/4 +0%)Military Leader |
9/4(+0%) | (4) Military Leader 9/4, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off 68 last time, 2lb higher here; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy, good and AW; not proven on fast ground, in form but handicapper may have his measure now. Off the mark when winning at Southwell (1m, AW) in May and followed up over this C\u0026D next time (good); has posted two good placed efforts since, the most recent at Chester (7.5f, soft) last month off a 2lb lower mark than today's, and makes the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/2 +0%)Barley |
9/2(+0%) | (6) Barley 9/2, Possibly made too much use of when 6l third in a handicap at Carlisle most recent run; effective 8f, acts on any; good chance will return to form ridden with more restraint. Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in June 2024; placed in each of his last four starts, albeit he was below his best last time, and once again has an each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (13/8 +7%)Harswell Ruby |
13/8(+7%) | (3) Harswell Ruby 13/8, Well backed and ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Pontefract last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; competitive weight, should contend again. Two wins from 29 starts, with the most recent success coming in April over this C\u0026D; had cheekpieces back on (retained) when runner-up at Pontefract (1m, good) nine days ago and holds good claims off the same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/1 +59%)Degale |
9/1(+59%) | (2) Degale 9/1, Poor effort beaten 7l in a handicap at Beverley last time; effective 8f on a sound surface; just one good run in last seven since a wind operation. Sole win from 12 starts came in a Ripon novice in 2024 (1m, good); hasn't been the most consistent this season and he's been well beaten on his last two outings; down to a career-low mark but others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (40/1 -60%)Cosmos Raj |
40/1(-60%) | (5) Cosmos Raj 40/1, Poor effort comfortably held in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective 8-10f, acts on any; out of form. Won at Ripon (1m, soft; Barley was second) last July off a mark 8lb higher than today's but he's struggled since; others have stronger claims.. |

Harswell Ruby could prove popular here after her half-length second at Pontefract last time out, with the Far Above filly due to go up 3lb in future contests. However, MILITARY LEADER won over C&D in May off 5lb lower and has placed twice since. With P J McDonald in the saddle and a small field to cope with, the five-year-old looks capable of producing a career best to get back to winning ways. Barley makes most appeal of the rest in a wide-open contest.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (7/4 +30%)Ballyskeagh |
7/4(+30%) | (5) Ballyskeagh 7/4, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; some promise after a slow start beaten 6l in an auction race at Roscommon on debut; trainer in form; wide draw; effective 7f on good; improvement likely. Ran green and did not get a clear passage at Roscommon; has a bit to find with Sea Of Rain (second) and Jezzie Bea (fourth); could feature with normal progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (11/1 -57%)Star Glory |
11/1(-57%) | (8) Star Glory 11/1, Lacked pace but showed some promise beaten 5 1/4l in a maiden at the Curragh on debut; top course jockey; wide draw; off a short-break; effective at 6f on good; could have a say. Got upset in the stalls on debut at the Curragh; merit in her run in the circumstances, keeping on to finish sixth of 12; withdrawn after a stalls issue here last time; significant element of risk with that in mind.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (11/4 -120%)Sea Of Rain |
11/4(-120%) | (13) Sea Of Rain 11/4, Ran to form tried in cheekpieces when second beaten 1 1/4l in an auction race at Roscommon latest; effective 7f on sound surface; leading claims once more. Beaten favourite at Roscommon on debut, fourth behind a rival who had run twice; went within a whisker of opening her account over C\u0026D on second start, beaten by a Jessica Harrington-trained favourite; beaten favourite for a second time at Roscommon; obvious prospects here, since she should again have the measure of Jezzie Bea and Ballyskeagh.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (4/1 +27%)Jezzie Bea |
4/1(+27%) | (11) Jezzie Bea 4/1, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; some promise on debut 5l fourth in an auction race at Roscommon first-time out; effective 7f on good; not ruled out given improvement. Left an impression that she still had plenty to learn when keeping on well at Roscommon on debut; fourth placing was promising in the circumstances; may get closer to runner-up Sea Of Rain; same remark could apply to fifth-placed Ballyskeagh.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (66/1 -32%)Mirren |
66/1(-32%) | (4) Mirren 66/1, 20 Apr; 30,000gns Without Parole gelding; half-brother to Drymee, useful at 8f; market will guide on debut. Cost 30,000gns as a yearling; half-brother to seven winners over distances between 7f and 1m2f; dam French 1m 2yo winner. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (8/1 +43%)Bold Move |
8/1(+43%) | (9) Bold Move 8/1, Never in it after a slow start beaten 5l in an auction race here on debut; improvement needed but from a good yard. Made some late headway over C\u0026D on debut; potential for improvement but no reason why he should reverse form with runner-up Sea Of Rain.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (40/1 +0%)Williamsburg |
40/1(+0%) | (2) Williamsburg 40/1, 12 Apr; 42,000 euros Without Parole colt; half-brother to Noble Expression, smart at 14f; dam useful at 9f; not easily fancied. Cost 42,000 euros as a yearling; tenth foal and half-brother to four winners; pedigree is perhaps more middle distance-oriented; one of two newcomers, both by Without Parole, for his trainer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (14/1 +50%)Old Joanie |
14/1(+50%) | (7) Old Joanie 14/1, No impact on debut well beaten in a maiden at the Curragh; plenty more needed this time. Not a bad run at a huge price on debut at the Curragh, will benefit from more experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (40/1 +20%)Gwen |
40/1(+20%) | (12) Gwen 40/1, Some promise beaten 10l in a maiden at the Curragh on debut; longer trip here a plus. Not disgraced at a big price on her introduction at the Curragh; might be one for handicaps in due course, if building on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (66/1 -65%)Hypiradon |
66/1(-65%) | (3) Hypiradon 66/1, 24 Apr; 40,000 euros Cotai Glory gelding; half-brother to Ceo Stealth Mode, very useful at 6f; wide draw on debut. Cost 40,000 euros as a yearling;; third foal; half-brother by Cotai Glory to 6f winner Ceo Stealth Mode; dam unraced half-sister to winners Gangster Granny (Flat and hurdles) and Ballinea Star (6f 2yo Group 3), out of Group-placed 6f 2yo winner; potentially interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (200/1 -150%)Razmataz |
200/1(-150%) | (1) Razmataz 200/1, Again ran to a poor level beaten 9 1/2l in an auction race at Bellewstown last time; hood first time; wide draw; type to do better when handicapping. Cheap purchase; third in Naas barrier trial in May; slowly into stride and never a factor at Fairyhouse (6f) last month; failed to improve in a 5f maiden at Bellewstown and now fitted with a hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (14/1 +50%)Grit And Glory |
14/1(+50%) | (6) Grit And Glory 14/1, 20 Feb; 20,000 euros Cotai Glory colt; dam very smart at 8f as a 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Cost 20,000 euros as a yearling; seventh foal; half-brother to winners Determined Effort (US 5f turf) and Karacrown (Mexican 2yo); dam French Listed-placed 1m 2yo/US 8.5f turf winner (RPR 98), half-sister to French 1m Listed winner Night Bokbel; jockey booking is noteworthy.. |

It's a slight concern that STAR GLORY was withdrawn when becoming upset in the stalls here last month, but she had previously shaped up nicely on her Curragh debut and looks worth chancing. She came from some way back to take sixth place that day and, if on her best behaviour now, she can put it up to the more experienced Sea Of Rain. The latter finished clear of Jezzie Bea and Ballyskeagh when second at Roscommon and can confirm superiority.

1st (1) (15/8 +6%)Serenity Dream |
15/8(+6%) | (1) Serenity Dream 15/8, Every chance, ran to form back down in trip beaten a short-head off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; on last winning mark, could build on latest. Won a 6f handicap at Kempton in January and he has run several good races since, notably a narrow defeat back at Kempton two weeks ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride; as this 5yo showed at Ascot in May, he's a strong contender back on fast turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (15/8 +38%)Be An Angel |
15/8(+38%) | (6) Be An Angel 15/8, Returned to form off reduced mark in first time cheekpieces landing a handicap by a neck off this mark at Salisbury last time; trainer in form; suited by 6f, effective at 5f, acts on most ground; obvious claims escaping penalty. The addition of cheekpieces saw her return to winning ways in a five-runner apprentice handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) five days ago; 2lb well in but this is a deeper race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (16/1 -88%)Some Nightmare |
16/1(-88%) | (7) Some Nightmare 16/1, Set strong pace, didn't last beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on any, Chepstow specialist; can go well. In good form this year without managing to put his head in front; eligible for weaker races than this though and could prove vulnerable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 +17%)Connie's Rose |
5/1(+17%) | (3) Connie's Rose 5/1, Every chance, below form in a handicap at Salisbury latest; enjoys making it; effective 6/7f, acts on most on the turf; just 1lb above last winning mark, inconsistent but capable. Multiple course winner, the latest last September (6f, soft) off a 1lb lower mark; she has run some solid races in defeat this year but consistency has been an issue and others appeal more in today's field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (14/1 -40%)Outer Edge |
14/1(-40%) | (8) Outer Edge 14/1, Awkward under pressure when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Ffos Las latest; effective 5-6f on sound surface; below last winning mark, must bounce back. C\u0026D winner; shaped quite nicely at Windsor on his seasonal return but he failed to build on it at Ffos Las 17 days ago; others appeal more for the win.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (50/1 -25%)Vape |
50/1(-25%) | (5) Vape 50/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip at Ffos Las latest; effective 6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW, goes well at Chepstow; inconsistent. Conditions to suit and this veteran is likely to find more races this year; the evidence of his two runs in 2026 suggests he may need some more help from the handicapper before he is of renewed interest though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (9/1 +0%)Zoulu Warrior |
9/1(+0%) | (4) Zoulu Warrior 9/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Newmarket (July) most recent; effective 5-7f, acts on good to firm and AW; just 1lb above last winning mark, must bounce back. 5f win here (good ground) last August and he added two AW victories to his tally in December; his last two runs have been disappointing, the latest back on turf after an absence, but the return of Saffie Osborne to the saddle could perk him up (two wins and a second from the three times she has ridden him).. |

Connie's Rose has a good record here with seven victories at the track, but despite some placed efforts she has struggled to get to the front in her last 10 starts. Be An Angel is due to go up 2lb for future contests after winning at Salisbury last week but may struggle in this grade, with OUTER EDGE preferred. Chris Mason has his local string in fine form lately and as the five-year-old has won twice off higher marks, once over C&D, he could be the value call.

1st (5) (12/1 -33%)Run For Mahler |
12/1(-33%) | (5) Run For Mahler 12/1, Made too much use of, needed run comfortably held in a Mares hurdle at Listowel last time; effective 2-2 1/4m on good; big player with more to come for shrewd yard. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner, both at around 2m on good to yielding and good to firm ground; soundly beaten behind a couple of these on return from a break at Listowel in May; more needed and stamina to prove over this far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/6 +39%)Murcia |
5/6(+39%) | (2) Murcia 5/6, Returned to form down in class suited by the quick ground when winning a Mares hurdle at Listowel by 3l last time; top jockey back on board; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; won at top level as juvenile in weak contest, flat tracks suit best. Grade 1 winner at Aintree (2m1f, gd-sft) in April 2025; regained the winning thread in mares' race at Listowel (16.5f, good) on latest (Grainne A Chroi 6.25l behind); the one to beat on ratings, but has never run beyond 2m1f so she has stamina to prove (mixed messages in pedigree).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/3 +26%)Diamond Du Berlais |
10/3(+26%) | (4) Diamond Du Berlais 10/3, Bit below Cheltenham form when fourth beaten 5l in Close Brothers Mares Novice Hurdle (Listed) at Punchestown latest; off a short-break; effective around 2m-2m5f, acts with cut and on good; highly tried in France, should have more to offer for new yard and no forlorn stable second stirng. Solid placed graded form in France on testing ground; shed the maiden tag for this stable at Ludlow in February (2m5f, soft); not disgraced in sole start on good in the Grade 2 mares' novice at Cheltenham (2m1f); beaten 5l in Listed novice at Punchestown when last seen in April; Townend prefers Murcia.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (4/1 -20%)Birdie Or Bust |
4/1(-20%) | (6) Birdie Or Bust 4/1, Ran to form benefitting from drop in class and better ground in a handicap chase at Punchestown most recent run; last hurdles run working out extremely well; effective 2-2 1/2m, wants decent ground; inconsistent but well treated on these terms back over hurdles. 2-7 over hurdles and some smart form in the book; better known as a chaser these days, but has been out of sorts in that sphere on recent starts; third at Punchestown on latest, but was still beaten over 9l; needs to revive on first run over timber since March 2024.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (11/1 -47%)Grainne A Chroi |
11/1(-47%) | (1) Grainne A Chroi 11/1, Ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test 6 1/4l third in a Mares hurdle at Listowel most recent run; effective 2-2 3/4m, acts on soft and yielding; progressive. Useful mare won a Grade 3 at Punchestown in February (2m4f, soft); outclassed in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse before finishing a 6.25l third behind Murcia over inadequate trip at Listowel (16.5f, good) on latest; this trip more her bag and may close the gap; any rain would be a plus.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (200/1 -60%)Taketwotoone |
200/1(-60%) | (7) Taketwotoone 200/1, Below form up in trip well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2m, acts on heavy; out of form since going handicapping. 0-7 over hurdles and rated just 88; out of her depth in this company.. |

Murcia didn't quite kick on as expected after winning a Grade 1 at Aintree in April 2025 but she was given an ideal confidence booster when scoring at Listowel towards the end of May, with Grainne A Chroi back in third. That said, the step up to 2m4f is a concern and her stable companion DIAMOND DU BERLAIS is preferred. Sixth in the Mares' Novice at Cheltenham in March, she has been freshened up since underperforming at Punchestown and the extra half a mile is most certainly in her favour.

1st (5) (11/2 +39%)Desert Quest |
11/2(+39%) | (5) Desert Quest 11/2, Ran to form although found to have weighed in light and disqualified when 4l third in a classified race at Ayr most recent run; enjoys making it; effective 12-14f, acts on a sound surface; contender. Winless since January 2024 but he arrives in good nick, third in 1m5f classified event at Ayr (disqualified for riding weighing in light) last month; not out of things back in handicap company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/3 -11%)Time Turner |
10/3(-11%) | (2) Time Turner 10/3, Bit keen and didn't get home beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; trainer in form; effective 7-12f, acts on good to firm and AW; step back up in trip a plus if settling. Gained a breakthrough success at Newcastle (1m4f) in January; back from five months off in good nick, though seemed unsuited by the drop back in trip when fifth of eight at Nottingham (1m2f) 12 days ago; remains unexposed over this trip so very much one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/6 +39%)Alnayef |
5/6(+39%) | (1) Alnayef 5/6, Back to best, scored with bit in hand landing a handicap by 7l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 11-16f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; good chance if building on breakthrough success. Finally got off the mark when a wide-margin winner over C\u0026D three weeks ago; able to dictate the pace there so more is probably needed from a 6lb higher mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/1 -186%)Bruce Banner |
10/1(-186%) | (3) Bruce Banner 10/1, Bit below best when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap at Beverley latest; effective 12-16f, best on sound surface; possible bounce back candidate. A dual 1m4f AW winner (also scored over hurdles) in 2025; running with credit without winning this season until only fourth of five at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (17/2 -21%)Aighear |
17/2(-21%) | (4) Aighear 17/2, Found little, below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr last time; top course trainer; effective 12-17f, acts on good, well suited by plenty of give; bounce back needed and could do with rain. A two-time winner (at up to 1m7f) last autumn; failed to build on earlier promise when only sixth of eight in 1m5f handicap at Ayr ten days ago; this course winner needs to get back on track.. |

ALNAYEF needed only to be pushed out to land an amateurs race by seven lengths over C&D last time. Jim Goldie's charge made every yard and will take some catching if allowed his own way in front once again. Time Turner scored at Newcastle at the start of the year and steps up in trip with solid claims representing Ed Bethell's in-form yard, while Bruce Banner is regularly in the mix off similar marks.

1st (6) (7/1 +13%)Ardadslosttheplot |
7/1(+13%) | (6) Ardadslosttheplot 7/1, Ran to form down to 5f beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Naas last time; effective 5-7f, acts on sound surface; can go well again. Placed over 7f on the second of three maiden starts at two; disappointing on only nursery attempt; after losing a prominent position, finished well for this rider to take third over 5f at Naas on her seasonal debut; every chance she can feature over this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (11/1 -47%)Dynamic Force |
11/1(-47%) | (7) Dynamic Force 11/1, Ran to form beaten 3l in a claimer at Bellewstown last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; competitively weighted still. Last win came in a 1m Killarney claimer in 2024; fifth in a claimer last time at Bellewstown, only 24 hours after finishing fourth in a handicap at the same venue; overall handicap form has been satisfactory; needs to raise his game. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (5/2 -25%)Bear Right |
5/2(-25%) | (8) Bear Right 5/2, Ran to form, best work late down in trip beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to yielding; running into form. Has made the frame on her last three starts; does not need much to improve from her recent close-up third at Fairyhouse; addition of cheekpieces may provide that little bit extra that she needs to get her head in front for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (16/1 -33%)Mehmar |
16/1(-33%) | (12) Mehmar 16/1, Step back in right direction beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Naas last time; wide draw; suited by 5/6f, gets 7f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent and on long losing run. Was in the form of his life around this time two seasons ago with back-to-back 6f wins for Michael O'Callaghan; signs of a revival when seventh of 21 at Naas last month; needs to provide further reassurance to become a betting proposition.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (15/2 -7%)Dawn Flame |
15/2(-7%) | (15) Dawn Flame 15/2, Step back in right direction tried in cheekpieces beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Limerick last time; effective 7-11f, acts on good and AW; well below last winning mark and chance if building on latest. AW winner over 1m; that had seemed like a flash in the pan until a revival in form when third behind the well-fancied Glen Breeze at Limerick last Saturday; 2lb wrong here but not without a chance of reaching the money.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/2 +45%)Comfort Line |
11/2(+45%) | (3) Comfort Line 11/2, Did too much too soon fifth beaten 5l off 63 last time, same mark here; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy, good and AW; chance if ridden more conservatively. Heavily-raced gelding; gained a tenth career win at Dundalk in April and seems to be holding his form well; 3l second at the Curragh and a fair fifth at Bellewstown 13 days ago; 0-11 record at this venue is a negative, placed three times.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (16/1 -33%)God Knows |
16/1(-33%) | (4) God Knows 16/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap here most recent; usually held up; wide draw; off a short-break; effective 8-11f, acts on soft to heavy and good; goes well at Down Royal, needs more than of late. Ended last season with fine second placings at Down Royal and the Curragh; especially good effort behind the progressive Syzygy on the second occasion; no sign of similar form in three starts this term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (18/1 -29%)Prime Sign |
18/1(-29%) | (9) Prime Sign 18/1, Found little, below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Navan last time; blinkers first time; effective 6f, acts on soft and good; needs more to defy this mark. Last season's 50-1 success in a 27-runner 6f contest at the Curragh now looks like a fluke; hard to fancy on this season's form; new headgear combination.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (20/1 +60%)Smaoineamh Sile |
20/1(+60%) | (14) Smaoineamh Sile 20/1, Unseated leaving stalls in a handicap at Bellewstown latest; enjoys making it; effective 8-10f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; inconsistent. Five-time turf winner; out of sorts on AW last winter, unseated rider at start on reappearance at Bellewstown 13 days ago; jockey booking is the main positive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (11/1 +8%)Rodeeve |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Rodeeve 11/1, Didn't get home up to 7f when 14th beaten 8 1/2l off 62 last time, same mark here; effective 6-8f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Went up 12lb for a Fairyhouse success last month; beat subsequent winner Monastere then; however, unable to sustain her improvement when down the field at the same venue at the beginning of the month; held by Bear Right on that evidence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (66/1 -164%)Cordouan |
66/1(-164%) | (11) Cordouan 66/1, Again below form down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recent; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; form has tailed off. Just one placed effort from eight starts last season; tailed off at the Curragh on his return and down the field at Roscommon two months ago; not a big price on the second occasion, so perhaps capable of better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (14/1 +36%)Notforalongtime |
14/1(+36%) | (13) Notforalongtime 14/1, Below form again beaten 9l in a handicap at Limerick last time; effective 7/8f, acts on yielding, best form probably on AW; needs to bounce back. Prolific AW winner (9-32); off-putting 1-31 record on turf; placed this season at Cork and the Curragh; below best on three most recent starts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (7/1 +18%)Faoladh |
7/1(+18%) | (1) Faoladh 7/1, Below form ninth beaten 13l off 72 last time, 1lb lower here; wide draw; effective 7-9f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed. Enjoyed a good spell last summer, including a win and a short-head second in two outings over 1m here in June; twice made the frame over 1m here this year before winning over this trip at Down Royal in May; out of the money twice since then.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (28/1 -27%)Ardeur |
28/1(-27%) | (2) Ardeur 28/1, Below form beaten 10l in a handicap here last time; effective 6-10f, acts on good; more needed for new yard. Won 6f maiden for Ralph Beckett and later some decent efforts in defeat in France up to 1m2f; weak Irish form, in rear on both starts this season.. |

BEAR RIGHT flew home to take third place at Fairyhouse last time, despite having failed to get a clear run. Cheekpieces go on for the first time here and another bold bid is expected from her favourable draw. Ardadslosttheplot goes back up in distance after taking third spot over 5f at Naas earlier this month. That was a fine effort on what was her first start since September of last year, while both Comfort Line and course winner Faoladh have also done well lately.

1st (1) (7/2 -40%)Aravalli |
7/2(-40%) | (1) Aravalli 7/2, Improved down in class building on stable debut landing a handicap by a neck off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 10-12f, bred for middle distances, acts on soft, good to firm; still well treated on best Irish form, unexposed for this yard. Tailed off at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) on her stable/handicap debut last month; left that well behind when springing a 33-1 surprise here (1m4f, good to firm) last week; 4lb wrong under a penalty and not obviously crying out for today's drop in distance but as a last-time winner with few miles on the clock she can't be discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (1/1 +9%)Bumaan |
1/1(+9%) | (4) Bumaan 1/1, Returned to form up in trip on handicap debut beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; bred for middle-distances, effective 12f, acts on AW; more to come in handicaps. Well beaten in three novice/maiden runs (7f/1m); much more encouragement when keeping on for second on last month's handicap debut (1m4f, AW), still looking green in the process; makes his turf debut in a weak race and with Billy Loughane back in the saddle; big chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3/1 +40%)Electric Bass |
3/1(+40%) | (3) Electric Bass 3/1, Far too free in front in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective 8-12f, acts on most and AW; in good form until latest, could bounce back. 0-14 but six times a runner-up and he also ran well in a similar race over C\u0026D last year; his form dipped last time but that was his first run on soft ground; likely to go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/1 +0%)Time After Time |
7/1(+0%) | (2) Time After Time 7/1, Hampered when struggling in a handicap at Bath last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 1m, best runs on good; bit to prove on the back of a few poor runs now. Two 1m wins on good ground last summer, including at this track; well short of that level in two runs this year and stepping up in trip with cheekpieces added isn't enough to tempt.. |

A small but competitive field headed by Aravalli, a neck winner here over 1m4f last week. Due to go up 2lb, she carries a 6lb penalty leaving her with more to find, and with the drop in trip a question mark. TIME AFTER TIME might be the answer. The four-year-old steps up in distance after being outpaced at Bath off 2lb higher and the application of cheekpieces for the first time gives her the oppportunity to bounce back. Bumaan heads the remainder.

1st (1) (7/2 -56%)Illtakehimmyself |
7/2(-56%) | (1) Illtakehimmyself 7/2, Ran to form 4 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recent run; effective 2 1/2-3m on heavy and good; progressive, capable of better yet. Has improved for better ground; edging up the weights after placed efforts at Punchestown (3m, gd-yld), Listowel (20.5f, gd-yld) and on latest at Limerick (22.5f, good); nudged up another 2lb, but should be on the premises again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (40/1 -60%)Cornaroya Rocco |
40/1(-60%) | (3) Cornaroya Rocco 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe latest where raced close to pace which collapsed; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; must progress again to figure. 0-5 over hurdles but did show some promise in two of his maidens; pulled up on handicap bow at Ballinrobe (2m, good) on latest, however, and needs to leave that behind upped in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (8/1 -14%)Uptaurintop |
8/1(-14%) | (11) Uptaurintop 8/1, Mistakes, outpaced, needed stiffer test comfortably held in a beginners chase chase at Listowel last time; effective 2m-2m5f on most ground; better than showed latest, step up in trip will suit, big player on hurdles return. Maiden whose three best efforts have come on testing ground at Limerick; has a race in him, but has to prove he acts on this quicker ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (15) (50/1 +24%)Max Time |
50/1(+24%) | (15) Max Time 50/1, Never in the race down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; effective up to 2m6f; enough to prove for now. Won off 8lb higher at Galway in September 2024 but has shown virtually nothing since; tailed off at Sligo on latest and impossible to fancy on recent form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (22/1 -38%)Jekiki |
22/1(-38%) | (13) Jekiki 22/1, Race may have come a bit soon well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; returning from long layoff; effective 2m4f-2m6f; in moderate form when last seen. Long-standing maiden ran okay at Listowel last September, but was still beaten 11.5l into third; mid-field over 2m7f here when last seen in October; may need this on return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (4/1 +38%)I Feel Fine |
4/1(+38%) | (8) I Feel Fine 4/1, Ran to form just flattening out late back from break in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m, appears to act on any; should come on for latest. Best effort yet on return from 131 days off at Kilbeggan (17.5f, gd-yld) when a 7.75l fourth of 13; should strip fitter now, eased 1lb and pedigree suggests that this trip might suit; not discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (16) (13/2 +46%)Youknowme |
13/2(+46%) | (16) Youknowme 13/2, May not have stayed well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; yet to show anything of note at up to 3m; hard to fancy. 0-7 and yet to trouble the judge; a bit better at Kilbeggan on latest (24.5f, good), but much more needed dropped back in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (22/1 -38%)Lord De Choisel |
22/1(-38%) | (6) Lord De Choisel 22/1, Green, mistakes, ran to form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest; tongue-tie first time; returning from a break; effective 2m-2m4f with cut; type to do better now handicapping. Struggled in all three maiden hurdles on soft and soft to heavy ground; given a break since soundly beaten at Clonmel and tongue tie goes on for handicap debut; best watched unless the market speaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (66/1 +0%)Listentomewillya |
66/1(+0%) | (10) Listentomewillya 66/1, Another poor handicap run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; effective 2m, acts on heavy; inconsistent in short career. Didn't show a whole lot in maidens and similar story in first two handicaps; assessor relenting, but others have more appealing profiles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (7/2 +61%)Clone Cross |
7/2(+61%) | (2) Clone Cross 7/2, Made too much use of 6l third in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown most recent run; effective 2 1/2m; must bounce back but fair mark on maiden form. 0-7 over hurdles but has run well on two of last three starts; beaten 15l when runner up in maiden hurdle at Wexford in May; hung badly left when pulled up on handicap debut at Sligo; solid third off this mark at Bellewstown latest; chance if building on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (14/1 +0%)Ancient Myth |
14/1(+0%) | (5) Ancient Myth 14/1, Outpaced, ran to form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective 12f, wants sound surface; Flat winner but plenty to prove over hurdles including stamina up in trip on handicap debut. Flat winner on fast ground for David O'Meara; huge odds and well held in three maiden hurdles for this yard at 2m-2m1f; potential improver stepped up in trip for handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (18/1 -125%)Hickeys Hill |
18/1(-125%) | (9) Hickeys Hill 18/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2m, likely get further in time; should come on for latest. Point winner off the mark under rules at Fairyhouse in October off 6lb lower (2m, yielding); held off revised mark twice since, though may have needed latest; step up in trip needs to unlock further improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (14/1 +36%)Penny Jar |
14/1(+36%) | (7) Penny Jar 14/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recent; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; unreliable. Conditions are fine for this veteran; has gone well here before and he's well handicapped but hasn't won since October 2024 and his recent efforts have been well below par; revival needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (33/1 -32%)Glaoinn An Airgead |
33/1(-32%) | (14) Glaoinn An Airgead 33/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; effective 3m; looks limited. Maiden pointer; 0-15 over hurdles and has yet to display winning potential; soundly beaten again at Kilbeggan on return from break latest; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RO| (4) (11/1 -29%)Diamond Secret |
11/1(-29%) | (4) Diamond Secret 11/1, Ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test at Kilbeggan last time; effective at 2m4f with cut; more of a chance now stepped up in trip in handicaps. Arguably best effort yet on handicap debut at Kilbeggan (15.5f, gd-yld) when keeping on from the back for a 9l fifth of 13; bred to appreciate this longer trip; could go well.. |

ILLTAKEHIMMYSELF has been knocking on the door in a trio of handicaps since the beginning of the new season and the five-year-old appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to get his head in front. Clone Cross hit the frame at Bellewstown earlier in the month and is capable of being in the mix, along with handicap debutant Lord De Choisel.

1st (4) (7/4 +50%)The Balearic Sun |
7/4(+50%) | (4) The Balearic Sun 7/4, Below expectations when well beaten in a novice at Sandown only start; tongue-tie first time; bred for 7f/1m; should leave debut run behind. 300,000gns yearling by Lope De Vega; half-brother to four winners, mostly useful or smart, notably Berkshire Rocco (7f-2m including 2yo/Listed; RPR 117); 5-1 for novice at Sandown (7f, good) 13 days ago but slowly into stride and, having raced in mid-division, readily outpaced from 3f out; that 15l defeat was a downbeat start and he now has his tongue tied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (13/8 +54%)Zarakova |
13/8(+54%) | (5) Zarakova 13/8, Didn't find, modest debut beaten 8l in a novice at Wolverhampton on debut; top course jockey/trainer combination; dam was speedy; improvement likely. 190,000gns yearling by Zarak; first foal of Group-placed 5f 2yo winner (RPR 99), herself out of 1m Group 1 winner; 9-2 from 7-1 for novice at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) seven weeks ago, led early and went okay turning for home, but she was last of six from over 1f out; needs to leave that way behind.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6/1 -100%)Palace Legacy |
6/1(-100%) | (3) Palace Legacy 6/1, 1 Mar; Palace Pier colt; half-brother to Great David, smart at 10f; dam high-class at 9f; could contend on debut for good Newmarket yard. Seventh foal; Palace Pier half-brother to four winners including Great David (Listed-placed 1m 2yo/1m2f; RPR 105), Kinderfrau (1m5f/2m; 87) and Leadership (UAE 7f/1m; 84); dam Group-placed 1m-10.4f winner (107) out of 12.5f Group 2 winner; trainer's 2yos have 25% strike-rate (6-24) this term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/2 -100%)Ad Lib |
9/2(-100%) | (1) Ad Lib 9/2, 5 Feb; Kingman colt; half-brother to San Juanito, very useful at 9f; dam high-class at 10f; very much respected on debut for good yard. Third foal; Kingman half-brother to winners San Juanito (8.6f/9.4f; RPR 89) and Proposal (7f; 77); dam 7f 2yo/1m2f Group 3 winner (116) out of 7f-1m4f winner; newcomer to note from strong yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (25/1 -178%)Jaipur Prince |
25/1(-178%) | (2) Jaipur Prince 25/1, 16 Jan; 48,000gns Kodi Bear colt; dam useful at 6f as a 2yo; probably best watched on debut. 48,000gns yearling by Kodi Bear; first foal; dam 5f winner (RPR 68) out of 6f 2yo Group 3 winning half-sister to 7f Group 1 winner Toylsome; others are a bit more striking on paper.. |

THE BALEARIC SUN was set a stiffer task at Sandown on debut and failed to make an impression. However, Ralph Beckett's charge can include a Listed winner among his four winning relatives and could prove a different proposition in a first-time tongue-tie in this lower grade. Zarakova is another likely improver having shown some ability at Wolverhampton on her introduction, while Ad Lib makes most appeal of the newcomers.

1st (2) (6/5 -32%)Thickthorn Tom |
6/5(-32%) | (2) Thickthorn Tom 6/5, Improved again in first time blinkers landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Stratford last time; trainer in form; seems effective at 2 1/2-3m, wants decent ground; progressive for good yard. Has left his hurdle form behind over fences and he beat the odds-on winner with the pair clear at Stratford last weekend (2m3f, good to firm); carries a penalty for that in what looks a winnable contest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 -20%)Thank You Blue |
4/1(-20%) | (1) Thank You Blue 4/1, Improved up in trip and down in class beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Cartmel last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; jumping an issue but well treated on hurdle form and improving. Multiple hurdle winner who is rated 12lb lower over fences and he rediscovered some form when beaten 2l at Cartmel three weeks ago (2m5f, good); should be bang there if repeating that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 -13%)Atreides |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Atreides 9/2, Every chance, bit below form comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; best around 2m4f, acts on heavy, good; generally in decent form over fences since he's had his head in front. Won twice over fences within a week last December but has essentially struggled off his new mark and still 6lb higher than for those two wins; still commands some respect in this weak a race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/1 +64%)Atlanta Brave |
5/1(+64%) | (5) Atlanta Brave 5/1, Disappointing in first time blinkers comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, prefers some give; maiden over fences but mark has plummeted, inconsistent of late. Struggles for consistency and has gone backwards since finishing third at Hereford in March (3m1f, good); first-time blinkers did nothing for him last time and they're retained.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (14/1 +30%)Keep Me Posted |
14/1(+30%) | (6) Keep Me Posted 14/1, Continued in poor form comfortably held in the Open Point at Ballingarry last time; off a short-break; multiple point winner showed nothing under rules in Ireland. Eight defeats under rules include seven as a chaser; forgettable form in Irish points this year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (18/1 -13%)Suttons Hill |
18/1(-13%) | (4) Suttons Hill 18/1, Poor hurdles return comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; unexposed over fences but plenty to prove. Record of 1-14 in Irish points; 0-9 over hurdles (was placed); made a quiet stable debut in that discipline and he was pulled up in a hunter chase on one previous run over fences.. |

The winner of two of his last three starts over fences, THICKTHORN TOM looks worth sticking with. He rallied well in the closing stages at Stratford last time, when taking advantage of a mistake at the last by the favourite, and Dan Skelton's progressive charge is taken to go in again. Thank You Blue posted an improved effort at Cartmel recently. He could prove the main threat to the selection, ahead of Atreides.

1st (2) (1/1 +50%)Bellesque |
1/1(+50%) | (2) Bellesque 1/1, Yard won this last year; fair debut when runner-up beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden here only start; trainer in form; effective 7f on good; place claims at least in this up to 1m. St Mark's Basilica half-sister to eight winners including Australian Group 2 winner Adjusted; dam won over 1m1f in France; first home in a barrier trial before last week's debut here over 7f; 7-2, finished off well when second to a promising type; entered in the Group 1 Moyglare; slightly unusual that she's out again so quickly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (6/1 -33%)So Lovely |
6/1(-33%) | (6) So Lovely 6/1, 19 May; Wootton Bassett filly; dam top-class from 10-12f; top course trainer and this one is afforded maximum respect on debut. By Wootton Bassett; first living foal out of Love, who won on her third start at two before going on to win the Moyglare, and completed the 1,000 Guineas/Oaks double the following year; holds a Moyglare entry.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (18/1 -100%)Exceptionally |
18/1(-100%) | (4) Exceptionally 18/1, Moderate debut well beaten in a maiden at the Curragh only start; top course trainer; half-sister to Derby winner City Of Troy; should leave debut behind now up to 1m. By multiple champion US sire Into Mischief; half-sister to five winners, notably Derby winner City Of Troy, out of a Group 1 winner; 16-1, slowly away and never got in to it at the Curragh in 7f maiden where stablemates were first and second; entered in the Moyglare, though, and no surprise to see a much better showing this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/4 -14%)Sarah's Choice |
5/4(-14%) | (5) Sarah's Choice 5/4, Excellent effort when runner-up beaten 3/4l in Pat Smullen Stakes (Listed) at Naas only start; speedily-bred but stays 1m, acts on good; very promising debut in Listed company and ought to go one better. Cost 100,000 euros at the breeze-ups and is speedily bred; 10-1, caught late over 1m at Naas in Listed race won by rival now rated 89, so it's not form to get carried away with and had a relatively hard race into the bargain; backs up fairly quickly as well, but obviously has a good level of ability.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (33/1 +18%)Amsterdam's Law |
33/1(+18%) | (1) Amsterdam's Law 33/1, Modest debut well beaten in a maiden at the Curragh only start; off a short-break; improvement needed. Good American pedigree and cost $150,000 as a yearling; 25s, prominent until weakening quickly 1f out in hot 6f maiden at the Curragh on Guineas weekend.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (40/1 -60%)Thelymitra |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Thelymitra 40/1, Yard won this last year; 15 Apr; Australia filly; half-sister to Orchidaceae, smart at 7f; dam smart from 7-9f (as 2yo); trainer in form, respected on debut. Daughter of Australia was bought back for 18,000 euro at the yearling sales; closely related to 6f/7f winner Orchidaceae (inc 2yo; RPR 98), half-sister to 1m AW winner Another Day Done; dam 7f 2yo winner, half-sister to 7f 2yo Listed winner Mountain Bear; stable second-string and no fancy entries.. |

BELLESQUE finished a promising second to the highly regarded Maire Rua over 7f here a week ago. That was an encouraging debut and she might now go a place better at the main expense of the Ballydoyle newcomer So Lovely, who like the selection, holds an entry in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes. Sarah's Choice was runner-up to the selection's stable companion Dancing Destiny in a Listed contest at Naas and it's difficult to see her finishing out of the frame on that form.

1st (2) (33/1 -32%)Luck Between Us |
33/1(-32%) | (2) Luck Between Us 33/1, Found ground too testing well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest; effective 2m4f on good; mark potentially lenient, worth another chance in handicaps on better ground. Solid placed maiden form on good ground last season; struggled in testing conditions the last twice, including on handicap debut at Cork in December; returns from a break now with ground to suit, so check the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/2 +0%)Koeur A Prendre |
9/2(+0%) | (8) Koeur A Prendre 9/2, Improved relishing step up in trip on handicap debut beaten 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Clonmel last time; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f; progressing, may do better over even further. Left modest maiden form behind to run a fine race when 1.75l second on handicap debut at Clonmel (19.5f, gd-yld); stayed on well from the back that day so whether this sharper track will suit is up for debate, but unexposed and enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/1 -13%)Inchidaly Copper |
9/1(-13%) | (7) Inchidaly Copper 9/1, Outpaced, needed run and further well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest; in good form prior; effective 2-3m; stiff mark over fences, looks reasonable over hurdles. Two wins last season included one here over 2m7f (yielding) off 4lb lower; has also won a chase here and is 2-3 at this venue; should be sharper for latest run after break over an inadequate trip, but probably not much wriggle room off this mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (16/1 +20%)Brianna Lily |
16/1(+20%) | (10) Brianna Lily 16/1, Every chance, bit below form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective up to 3m, acts on soft and good; unreliable. 1-24 over hurdles, the win coming over 3m on heavy ground at Clonmel in 2023; is now 12lb lower, but has disappointed the last twice after showing a bit more at Clonmel in May.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/1 +25%)Gaoithe Glory |
9/1(+25%) | (6) Gaoithe Glory 9/1, Ran to form just tiring late on up in trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface and on soft; chance if building on latest couple of runs. 0-9 over hurdles; best efforts have come on soft and soft to heavy ground; beaten 15l on soft at Limerick on latest and only 1lb lower here; more needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (16) (8/1 +11%)Miss Donna |
8/1(+11%) | (16) Miss Donna 8/1, Short of room, too much to do ridden to see out the trip 9 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recent run; effective over 2m-2m6f, acts on yielding and good; unexposed in handicaps. Maiden seemed to appreciate the step up to 22.5f (good) at Clonmel last time when keeping on for a 9.25l third; eased 1lb, but not sure whether the drop back in trip here will suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (7/1 -27%)Tedworth |
7/1(-27%) | (13) Tedworth 7/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Tramore three starts back; effective 2m4f-3m on a sound surface; good chance if building on latest couple of runs. Off the mark off 6lb lower in Tramore handicap hurdle in April (20.5f, yielding); came up short off revised rating at Clonmel; was feeling the pinch when unseating two out at Tramore latest; place shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (9/1 +18%)Malikanna |
9/1(+18%) | (3) Malikanna 9/1, Made move too soon up in trip and tired comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wexford last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; may improve over further in time. Glimmers of promise in maidens before fine 1l second on handicap debut at Limerick in March (2m, soft); didn't quite see out 2m4f at Wexford on latest (gd-yld); stamina a query again here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (100/1 -203%)Ray Gun |
100/1(-203%) | (9) Ray Gun 100/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest where made too much use of; off a short-break; hard to fancy. AW winner on the Flat; 0-5 over hurdles and pulled up in first two handicaps; can only be watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|B| (15) (7/2 +22%)Pleasureofpressure |
7/2(+22%) | (15) Pleasureofpressure 7/2, Ran to form in first time cheekpieces when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; still a maiden but arrives in form. Consistent and holding form well enough in handicaps; beaten around 6l off this mark the last twice, at Down Royal (2m4f, good) and Wexford (2m1f, gd-yld) when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained); step back up to this trip should suit; in the mix again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (7/1 +22%)Swelltime |
7/1(+22%) | (1) Swelltime 7/1, Won this last year off 2lb lower; outclassed in the Conditions Race (Amateurs) at Bellewstown last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; out of form in both codes of late. Four wins over hurdles, the most recent coming in this race last year off 2lb lower on yielding to soft, his second win over C\u0026D; out of depth on the Flat last time, but this is more suitable and acts on good ground; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (14/1 +44%)Mother Ship |
14/1(+44%) | (12) Mother Ship 14/1, Didn't find much after series of errors well beaten in a handicap chase at Tramore latest; effective 2 1/2-2 3/4m; exposed maiden. 16-race maiden over hurdles; her Sligo third from last July off 3lb higher would give her a squeak, but well below that level in two runs since returning from a break, the latest over fences; more needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (28/1 -12%)King Ferdinand |
28/1(-12%) | (4) King Ferdinand 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Listowel latest where needed run; effective 2m4f-3m4f; needs to prove ability remains following long lay off. Veteran's five career wins include a handicap chase here in August 2024 (2m5f, yielding); that's the last time he won and pulled up on return from long layoff at Listowel 47 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (50/1 -52%)Boston Queen |
50/1(-52%) | (11) Boston Queen 50/1, Struggling when hampered and departing late off 85 last time at Donwpatrack; off a short-break; from good yard but yet to show much or prove up to mark. Showed little in maidens and well beaten on handicap debut here over 2m1f last October (2m1f, yielding); brought down two out when near the rear at Downpatrick on return from break; a bit to prove.. |

KOEUR A PRENDRE showed a lot more on his handicap debut at Clonmel when finishing a solid second and, on that evidence, he certainly looks to have a race of this nature within his compass. Tedworth unseated his rider at Tramore but cannot be overlooked when taking into account you only have to go back three starts for when he won there readily. Papagei is another to take seriously.

1st (5) (11/4 +50%)Trio |
11/4(+50%) | (5) Trio 11/4, Below form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; in good form prior; effective up to 9f, acts on good to soft and AW; bounce back possible. 3yo who's had respectable efforts in her first four handicaps, before a lesser show from wide draw at Kempton latest; place chance if back to her best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3/1 -33%)Eutropia |
3/1(-33%) | (3) Eutropia 3/1, Ran to form when second beaten a head off 63 last time, 4lb higher here; top jockey back on board; effective 7-12f, acts on good to soft, firm and AW, not proven on soft; in fine form, go well again. Three wins this year, the last two at Bath (1m/1m2f) in April and she's continued to look in good form, beaten a head at Salisbury (1m) on latest start; firmly in the mix if she adapts to this track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (12/1 -20%)Letsbeatsepsis |
12/1(-20%) | (8) Letsbeatsepsis 12/1, Not best of runs, could have finished closer when fourth beaten 2l in a classified race at Bath latest; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent. 15-race maiden who's in his third season; runner-up over 1m2f in one of his two visits here last summer and two minor honours (7.6f/1m) from three starts this term; cheekpieces (tried once as 3yo, well held) return but he does not look the percentage call for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (5/1 -11%)Hurricane Laughter |
5/1(-11%) | (7) Hurricane Laughter 5/1, Disappointing up to 1m beaten 8l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; trainer in form; bred to be effective around 7f; should improve but may be more a handicap type. Marked improvement is needed but he's had just four races; fifth of ten on seasonal/handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) four weeks ago failed to match his market position but he staged something of a rally, after hanging left over 2f out, and might build on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 +40%)Bobacious |
6/1(+40%) | (4) Bobacious 6/1, Too keen beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; enjoys making it; suited by 10f, acts on sound surface; needs to settle. Front-runner; latest win was under Mason Paetel here (1m2f) early last July for Ed Dunlop; 4lb lower today but that's after he went off the boil and there's been only a partial revival for new yard this year, finishing sixth of nine here last time in the race he won last year; the last time he raced over a trip this short was May 2025.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 -18%)Boston Run |
33/1(-18%) | (6) Boston Run 33/1, No impact up to 12f beaten 5l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good and AW; mark easing but needs more. 14-race maiden; latest of his three seconds was in April 2025 and he's not made a serious impact since; off since January and hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (9/1 +10%)Kitaro Kich |
9/1(+10%) | (2) Kitaro Kich 9/1, Back to form up to 1m beaten 3l off a 13lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 7f/1m, much better AW though mark reflects that; chance if building on latest back on turf. 5-21 on AW compared to 0-10 on turf and he's been well beaten in his two races here; turf mark is 12lb below AW figure and he should have come on since his recent, creditable reappearance, but others are more persuasive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (150/1 -355%)Bennyworth |
150/1(-355%) | (9) Bennyworth 150/1, Lacked pace when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap at Brighton latest; suited by 8f, all form on AW; plenty to prove for now. Eight-race maiden and his best show in five handicaps was on first occasion (1m, AW); 8lb lower today but lacks any pressing claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (6/1 -50%)Penfolds Grange |
6/1(-50%) | (1) Penfolds Grange 6/1, Ran to form, hit the line well beaten 2l off this mark at Kempton last time; top course jockey; off a short-break; effective 1m-10f, acts on good and AW; considered off this mark once more. The only impact he made in three turf races (last April-July) came when third on good ground at Chester, which is up with his best AW form; pretty reliable with his minor AW honours this year, so needs considering.. |

EUTROPIA looked to have the race in the bag at Salisbury last month, only to be picked off in the dying strides. Adrian Wintle's consistent filly is still improving and another bold bid looks assured. Bobacious led for a long way over 1m2f here last time and he can't be ruled out over this shorter trip, but Kitaro Kich may prove a bigger threat allowed to race off a much lower mark back on the turf.

1st (6) (7/1 +42%)Henry Box Brown |
7/1(+42%) | (6) Henry Box Brown 7/1, Flattened out late back up in trip comfortably held in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; competitive mark. Well treated on his old form but his last win was in December 2024 and he's finished down the field in his three completed starts this year; cheekpieces now return but he needs to raise his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 -27%)Huckleberry Sting |
7/2(-27%) | (3) Huckleberry Sting 7/2, Did it cosily, improved again landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time; best at 3m on a sound surface; progressive over fences. No win in five starts over hurdles but he made it 2-4 over fences when beating eight rivals at Market Rasen (3m, good) 11 days ago; has a penalty but that was a cosy success and he's open to more progress at staying trips; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/2 +50%)Stay Hopeful |
9/2(+50%) | (7) Stay Hopeful 9/2, Never in the race after series of errors well beaten in a handicap chase here latest; visor first time; effective 2 1/2m; point winner can do better over fences when brushing up on jumping. Irish point winner who has yet to show any worthwhile form under rules and was tailed off on chase debut over C\u0026D (good) last month; still lightly raced but cheekpieces hasn't worked in his last three runs and he needs a visor to make a big difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/2 -43%)Knightsbridge |
5/2(-43%) | (2) Knightsbridge 5/2, Did it cosily, improved appreciating stiff track and good pace down in trip landing a handicap off a 7lb lower mark here last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; more to come over fences as a stayer. Maiden hurdler but he's been a big improver since switched to fences, winning over 3m at Warwick last month before following up over about 2m4f here (both on good) two weeks ago; up another 7lb but he won going away last time and is a major player again in his bid to make it 3-4 as a chaser.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 +8%)Carpe Diem |
6/1(+8%) | (4) Carpe Diem 6/1, Mistakes, ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Warwick last time; effective 2 1/2-3 1/4m, acts on any; in good form over fences. Got off the mark when winning a Huntingdon handicap (2m4f, soft) in February and he's finished runner-up in four over his five starts since; his latest second was behind Knightsbridge at Warwick but he has big swing in the weights with that rival and should be in the thick of things again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (16/1 +20%)School For Scandal |
16/1(+20%) | (5) School For Scandal 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Warwick latest where bled; off a short-break; effective 2m7f-3m2f, acts on good to soft, good to firm; inconsistent. Five-time chase winner, most recently at Windsor (3m, good to soft) in the autumn; back on a good mark now but he's not easy to predict and has been pulled up on two of his last three outings (bled from the nose last time); others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (13/2 -30%)I'm A Starman |
13/2(-30%) | (1) I'm A Starman 13/2, Returned to form benefitting from reappearance beaten 3/4l off a 12lb higher mark here last time over hurdles; off a short-break; effective 3m on soft and good to firm; unreliable but thrown in on hurdles form. Admirable veteran who nearly recorded his ninth hurdle win when a close second here (2m7f, good) in May; 0-8 over fences but he's 12lb lower back in this sphere and he does have some placed form in chase handicaps; dangerous with blinkers reapplied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (66/1 -100%)Elfride |
66/1(-100%) | (8) Elfride 66/1, Ran to form in a handicap hurdle at Exeter last time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; regressive. Just one win from 25 starts over hurdles and she's generally struggled in that sphere in last seven starts; pulled up in only previous chase run in February 2025 and has lots to prove back in this sphere; 5lb out of the weights.. |

Without a win over hurdles, KNIGHTSBRIDGE is proving a much better chaser having won two of his three starts so far over the larger obstacles. He scored nicely over 2m4f here last time and the hat-trick beckons for the six-year-old with this longer trip not an issue. Market Rasen winner Huckleberry Sting arrives in fine form. He should make a race of it, while the veteran I'm A Starman is still capable of making the frame.

1st (2) (10/3 +5%)Loughrea |
10/3(+5%) | (2) Loughrea 10/3, Good attitude to get off the mark when winning an auction race at the Curragh by a neck last time; effective 1m/9f on heavy and good; more to come. Front-running second over this trip at Gowran leaves him with a little bit to find with How'sthebai on a line through the winner; went one better at the Curragh, and third's subsequent run suggests this opening mark is about right; scratched at Killarney on Monday due to ground described as good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 +25%)Aviatrice |
3/1(+25%) | (1) Aviatrice 3/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at the Curragh last time; consistent at 6-8f, acts on yielding, good to firm, best on AW; chance if building on latest. Unlucky a few times on turf last year, but won three times at Dundalk, notably when beating subsequent Group 2 winner Jancis in a Listed contest over this trip; favourite/joint favourite all three outings in premier handicaps this term, twice running well at the Curragh over 6f/7f; mark remains 7lb lower than AW rating; doesn't usually lead, but can race handily.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/4 +22%)How'sthebai |
7/4(+22%) | (4) How'sthebai 7/4, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3l off 89 last time, 1lb higher here; top course jockey; effective 7-9f, acts on soft, good and AW; consistent sort, latest form franked, can go well again. Likeable 3yo; won AW maiden last year; good fourth in hot Naas handicap over 1m before making most to beat in-form rival over 1m1f on probably unsuitably soft ground here; had that rival a little further back when fourth in 1m1f premier handicap at the Curragh, where missing a beat at the start proved costly in a race where the leaders didn't come back; takes on older horses for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/1 -100%)Quatre Bras |
11/1(-100%) | (5) Quatre Bras 11/1, Lacked pace down to 1m when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Killarney latest; effective 8-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; chance once again. Three wins on AW, but 0-21 on turf; did well at Dundalk over the winter and carried that form through to soft-ground contests in the spring; second over 7f at Naas and fourth over 1m2f here in April (strong form); not so good since; likes to come from off the pace, and there wasn't enough on when he was fourth (only 7-2) at Killarney on Monday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/1 +25%)Tachos |
9/1(+25%) | (7) Tachos 9/1, Found little, below form beaten 6l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and good to firm; remains just above last win mark. Will like the ground; won over 1m1f here last year and has dropped back to just 1lb higher mark; ground too soft first two starts this year; latest 6l Curragh defeat can be marked up somewhat (upset in stalls and met some interference) and generally runs this track well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (25/1 -127%)Exquisite Acclaim |
25/1(-127%) | (3) Exquisite Acclaim 25/1, Ran to form beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time; suited by 7-9f, acts on sound surface, best recent efforts on AW; competitively weighted still. Nine wins in all, but only one on turf from 32 starts; led when third over 7f at Fairyhouse last week, and that's probably his optimum trip on turf, rather than the stiff mile here; unplaced all four runs here, too.. |

INVINCIBLE WILL did well to finish as close as he did over 7f here last week after a sluggish start. He'll be a different proposition if getting away on terms this time and will likely improve for the step back up in distance. Aviatrice won a Listed race over this trip at Dundalk in November and has shown up well in tough handicaps over shorter since, while How'sthebai was a winner on soft ground here early last month and could also land a blow.

1st (2) (11/1 -57%)Arcland |
11/1(-57%) | (2) Arcland 11/1, Travelled, ran to form, did best of those who raced close to the pace when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick latest; effective 12-14f on flat, 2-2 1/2m over hurdles; consistent in both codes. Dual Flat winner is only 1-18 over hurdles, but has put up solid runs the last twice at Downpatrick; the blinkers worn last time are retained and can be involved, but needs more to win.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/1 +60%)Jupiter Du Gite |
10/1(+60%) | (4) Jupiter Du Gite 10/1, Didn't stay having looked a threat comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Thurles last time; returning from a break; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by cut; fair mark on UK form, running into form for new yard. Hurdle and chase winner when trained in the UK; hit and miss, kept to hurdles, since switched to this yard; well beaten when last seen and others appeal more today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (4/1 +27%)Only For Our Man |
4/1(+27%) | (6) Only For Our Man 4/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Listowel last time; blinkers first time; effective 2m2f-2m6f, acts on soft, good; more to come under rules for point and hurdles winner, progressive. Has been in fine form since the spring, winning a 2m6f Down Royal novice handicap before runner-up in Cork and Listowel handicaps over 3m; should be fine dropped in trip and blinkers replace cheekpieces; up 2lb; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (11/2 +66%)Smallcraftwarning |
11/2(+66%) | (8) Smallcraftwarning 11/2, Never threatened ridden to see out the trip down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; trainer in form; effective 2-3m, versatile ground wise; fair mark on chase form, in form until latest, drop in trip a plus. Chase winner has won twice over hurdles with last score coming at Clonmel in June 2025; some decent runs this term, but was beaten a long way at Sligo four days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/4 +8%)Global Skies |
11/4(+8%) | (3) Global Skies 11/4, Improved again up in trip landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good to yielding; Flat winner progressing in handicaps over hurdles. Flat winner has shown much-improved form over hurdles this season, winning at Clonmel and Limerick the last twice over approximately this trip; another 7lb rise demands more, but he has to be on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (7/1 -75%)Speakasyoufind |
7/1(-75%) | (10) Speakasyoufind 7/1, Returned to form down in class when second beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2m-2m3f; needs to build on latest. Maiden was beaten 5l by today's rival Global Skies at Clonmel last time, his best handicap run; raised 2lb for that and, if he has progressed since, can run respectably again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (18/1 -140%)Blue Reed |
18/1(-140%) | (9) Blue Reed 18/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Kilbeggan penultimate start; improved second beaten 4 1/4l off 97 last time over fences in UK, 5lb lower here; effective 2m1f-2m4f, acts on yielding, good; in fine form, on fair mark. Got off the mark in a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in May and a solid run in a Cartmel chase since; 5lb higher than for his win and is up in grade too, but can run well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (20/1 -11%)Kazakh D'arthel |
20/1(-11%) | (5) Kazakh D'arthel 20/1, Outpaced, raced lazily, needed stiffer test down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m1f, may get bit further; maiden over jumps but unlucky last chase run. Won a novice chase at Cork last October, but is a maiden over hurdles; well beaten in this sphere at Ballinrobe last time over 2m, but this trip could suit; is capable of better, so not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (12/1 -71%)Tuche De Houelle |
12/1(-71%) | (1) Tuche De Houelle 12/1, Did plenty early chasing leader back from lay off, needed run on stable debut in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest; effective 2m2f, acts on soft, good; dual French winner, fair mark, should come on for stable debut. Dual hurdle winner in France; ran respectably on Irish debut at Limerick after a long absence in a race where the winner was on a faster wide strip of ground; should have improved from that and has a shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (14/1 -56%)Market Ready |
14/1(-56%) | (7) Market Ready 14/1, Every chance, ran to form when fourth in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m, acts on sound surface and soft; debut form has been franked and running well. Some decent efforts in defeat in maidens and handicaps in varying ground conditions; beaten favourite in a Clonmel maiden last time; steps up in trip today and a tongue-tie added; needs more but not ruled out.. |

A competitive heat in which GLOBAL SKIES will no doubt prove popular on a hat-trick. He's got a bit more on his plate now than when scoring at Limerick but is clearly on good terms with himself and should be bang there at the business end. Blue Reed won at Kilbeggan and proved that was no fluke when posting a solid Cartmel second. He is respected, as is Speakasyoufind, who finished runner-up behind the selection at Clonmel.

1st (3) (11/8 +66%)Perfect Scoundrel |
11/8(+66%) | (3) Perfect Scoundrel 11/8, Ran to form beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark at Newbury last time; probably effective 9-12f on any ground; chance if building on latest. Best efforts from his five handicaps were on last two starts when third at Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) and beaten a head at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm); back up 2lb but his first win should not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/2 +0%)Booziebrunch |
5/2(+0%) | (5) Booziebrunch 5/2, Run of race, scored with lots in hand landing a handicap by 8 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 7-10f on a sound surface; only 3yo, could again get the run of things in small field. Reliable 3yo whose two wins (from 13 races) were in very small fields, latterly when making all at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was a runaway win and the first time he's made the running, but he's 5lb higher today in what looks a more competitive race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/1 +29%)Show Biz Kid |
10/1(+29%) | (2) Show Biz Kid 10/1, Ran to form when fifth beaten 5l off 72 last time, same mark here; effective 9-11f, acts on any; needs more off this mark. Held up; ran creditably sole start here (2024); latest of his two wins came when dropped into Class 6 at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May, before a Class 4 at Yarmouth saw a lesser effort; should be competitive in this race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/4 +36%)Hello Cotai |
9/4(+36%) | (4) Hello Cotai 9/4, Ran to form third beaten 1/2l off 66 last time, same mark here; suited by 10f, acts on any; remains fairly treated. Spent last year in France; fine record here, including two wins in summer 2024 and a third off this mark in a blanket finish two weeks ago; the latter followed a Windsor win (1m2f, win); looks set for another big run.. |

A case of sorts can be made for most of these, with PERFECT SCOUNDREL taken to edge affairs. Touched off by only a head at Newbury a fortnight ago, the son of Without Parole has enough scope for defy a 2lb rise and open his account. Hello Cotai wasn't beaten far when third over C&D last time and is another to consider, while Tiger finished a resolute second at Doncaster and could also have a say in proceedings.

5/2(+17%) | (1) Jorah D'alma 5/2, Returned to form down in class but looked in need of stiffer test in a 2m maiden hurdle here most recent run; stays 2m3f, acts on good to soft and good; point and bumper winner, yet to fire over hurdles. Below best last time but the start before he had run well (looked held) before falling late on at Warwick (2m3f, good); every chance on that form.. |

5/2(+64%) | (2) Mr Rafiki 5/2, Mistakes, below form down in trip in a maiden hurdle at Stratford latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft; must bounce back up in trip. Finished last in his only bumper and beaten between 15l and 36l in three maiden hurdles (2m2f-2m4f); hard to make a compelling case for him but he has shown something and this is weak.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/4 -80%)Loman Lady |
9/4(-80%) | (4) Loman Lady 9/4, Outpaced, disappointing debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on good; bumper winner should have more to offer over staying trips over hurdles judged on point exploits. Comfortable winner of a weak bumper at Hexham but was a remote sixth back there when long odds-on for her hurdle debut (2m4f); that was probably too bad to be true.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (50/1 +24%)Witheros Hill |
50/1(+24%) | (8) Witheros Hill 50/1, Ran to form when third in a maiden point at Stradbally most recent run; cheekpieces first time; off a long absence; modest point form, all to prove on hurdle debut. Ex-Irish mare who was tailed off in an Irish bumper and gone 0-10 in points there; new headgear combination on yard debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (66/1 +47%)Walkingtheline |
66/1(+47%) | (7) Walkingtheline 66/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle here latest when beaten early; tongue-tie first time; point winner, longer trip should suit but needs to leave previous rules form behind. Dual point winner but has looked very limited under rules; 300-1 when pulled up here 15 days ago; the tongue-tie is new.. |

LOMAN LADY failed to land the odds at Hexham on last month's hurdling bow. However, that run came only eight days after her bumper success at the same track and Dan Skelton's mare looks to have a good opportunity to prove her latest running all wrong. Trigger The Light finished a creditable third at Southwell on his hurdling debut considering that was his first outing of the year. He could land a blow, while Mirabello also warrants respect.

1st (5) (11/10 +51%)Geryon |
11/10(+51%) | (5) Geryon 11/10, Short of room late, would have been a length closer with a clear run when fourth beaten 2l in International Stakes (Group 3) at the Curragh latest; top course jockey; effective 7-10f, acts on yielding and good; progressive and touch unlucky latest. Smart Curragh form at two; beat top-class filly Kensington Lane on debut and then finished second in Group 2 races won by Constitution River and Hawk Mountain; 2026 form includes links to top-class performers Thesecretadversary and Causeway; a promoted second behind Isaac Newton in a 1m1f Listed event at Navan; reversed form with that rival on latest.. |

2nd (2) (14/1 -40%)Cowardofthecounty |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Cowardofthecounty 14/1, Ran to form 2l third in Celebration Stakes (Listed) at the Curragh most recent run; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on any; consistent Listed/G3 performer. Group 3 winner over 7f at Deauville as a 2yo; lost way last season but back to form this term; runner-up to City Of Memphis in conditions race at Gowran (7f, soft) and won conditions race at Fairyhouse (7f, good); fair third of six in a 1m Listed race at the Curragh on latest.. |

3rd (6) (11/2 -100%)Isaac Newton |
11/2(-100%) | (6) Isaac Newton 11/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; no chance after terrible break comfortably held in International Stakes (Group 3) at the Curragh last time; top course trainer; stays 10f, acts on soft and good; respected on penultimate form. Goodwood maiden winner on debut last August (7f, good to soft); creditable run in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; moderate efforts first two runs this term; back on song when winning a 1m1f Listed race at Navan (Geryon promoted to second); lost a lot of ground at the start when failing to confirm form with Geryon at the Curragh last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (22/1 -38%)Syzygy |
22/1(-38%) | (4) Syzygy 22/1, Improved tried in blinkers upped in grade when second beaten 1/2l in Kooyonga Stakes (Listed) at Navan latest; effective 7-10f, suited by plenty of give, acts on good; consistent and progressive. Progressive handicapper on heavy ground late last season; began this season with an excellent third in the 25-runner Irish Lincoln; placed in a 1m handicap at this venue in April; career-best on latest when chasing home stablemate and subsequent Group 3 winner Duckadilly in a 1m Listed race at Navan; 50-1 then, and is the outsider on figures here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/2 +10%)Adelaide River |
9/2(+10%) | (1) Adelaide River 9/2, May not have acted on fast ground down the field in Wolferton Stakes (Listed) at Ascot most recent; trainer in form; effectve 10f, best form 12f, acts on heavy and good, probably not fast ground; best judged on Curragh reappearance for now. Second in the Irish Derby and Grand Prix de Paris for Aidan O'Brien in 2023; mostly below that level in Australia, apart from a nose second in 1m2f Group 3 at Randwick last September; marked his return to Ireland with a pleasing staying-on third to Minnie Hauk in 1m2f Curragh Group 2 (good) in May; failed to feature in Royal Ascot's Wolferton Stakes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (7/2 +13%)Snellen |
7/2(+13%) | (3) Snellen 7/2, Won this last year; ran to form looking like further would suit beaten 5 1/4l in Duke Of Cambridge Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot last time; effective 7-10f, longer trip may suit best, acts on yielding and fast ground; game and consistent. Three starts at Royal Ascot have yielded a win in the 2023 Chesham (7f), an excellent second of 23 in the Kensington Palace (1m) last year, and a creditable fifth in last month's Duke of Cambridge (1m); produced her best display on home soil when beating the odds-on Purview in this race 12 months ago; began this season with a solid third in a 7f Group 3 at this track.. |

Winner of the corresponding race last year, SNELLEN can make it back-to-back successes. A promising third here over 7f on her reappearance, the Gavin Cromwell-trained mare ran a big race when fifth in Group 2 company at Royal Ascot last time. Back up in trip for this, the daughter of Expert Eye looks the one to beat. A smart juvenile last term, Geryon has shaped with promise on all four runs this season. He has solid claims, along with Adelaide River.

1st (5) (5/1 -43%)Lips Freedom |
5/1(-43%) | (5) Lips Freedom 5/1, Improved under positive handling on slightly better ground landing a handicap by 3l off a 11lb lower mark at Downpatrick last time; trainer in form; returning from a break; effective 2m1f; Listed flat winner should have more to offer over hurdles now he's had his head in front. Useful Flat sort on the continent got off the mark over hurdles last time at Downpatrick; got an 11lb hike for that, but goes well fresh and is still rated 90 on the Flat, so has to be respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (18/1 +0%)Midnight Eagle |
18/1(+0%) | (13) Midnight Eagle 18/1, Mistakes, poor run back in a handicap down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by decent ground; all to prove in handicaps. Record of 1-18 over hurdles; third in a Clonmel claimer in May, but was beaten a long way on debut for this yard at Downpatrcik since; has to rebound.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (18/1 +55%)Claude |
18/1(+55%) | (2) Claude 18/1, No obvious excuse down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; blinkers first time; off a short-break; effective 2m on good; form of debut win had knocks, must bounce back. Wexford maiden hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien last year; however, has been below that form in four runs for this yard; blinkers replace previously-worn cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (14/1 +22%)Kingdom Calling |
14/1(+22%) | (14) Kingdom Calling 14/1, Failed to build on debut down the field in a handicap chase at Wexford most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; fair mark on best winter hurdle form, must bounce back. Winless, but some good runs, since taking a Listowel maiden hurdle in 2024; well beaten chasing last twice, but can't be ruled out back in this discipline with an in-form rider aboard; third runner for yard; watch market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (15/2 +17%)Kilt |
15/2(+17%) | (12) Kilt 15/2, Scored by 4l off a 9lb lower mark at Wexford penultimate start; bit free but ran to form off revised mark last time, same mark here; usually held up; 1m flat winner in UK, suited by sound surface, gets 2m over hurdles; may have bit more to offer judged on Flat form. Flat winner won a 2m1f Wexford handicap and a solid run off this mark there since; needs more up in grade, but shouldn't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (6/1 +50%)Party President |
6/1(+50%) | (6) Party President 6/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wexford last time; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; inconsistent; down in weights but must bounce back. Won back-to-back handicaps last year for Tony Mullins, but lost his form after; hit and miss chasing lately for this yard, but would have a chance if back to his best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (18/1 -80%)Corkbeg |
18/1(-80%) | (15) Corkbeg 18/1, Struggled with jumping throughout down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on yielding, soft; form tailed off when last seen. Hasn't won since May 2023, but some solid runs last year; however, is best watched on return unless strong in the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (25/1 -56%)Regards To Rose |
25/1(-56%) | (10) Regards To Rose 25/1, Well held at this level again down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recent; effective 2-2 1/2m on good; inconsistent. Won at Listowel last September, but has been well below that level twice this term; needs a return to best; second of three runners for yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (10/1 +38%)Kabylia |
10/1(+38%) | (3) Kabylia 10/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent; off a short-break; suited by good ground; bumper winner needs to bounce back after couple of below par efforts this year. Maiden has been placed in bumpers and hurdles, but has been poor the last thrice in handicaps and has to do much better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (8/1 -78%)Secret Rock |
8/1(-78%) | (4) Secret Rock 8/1, Returned to form down in class landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Kilbeggan last time; effective 2m, suited by decent ground; remains well treated on maiden form. Maiden hurdle winner in 2023 and also two Flat wins for Tony Martin; won a Kilbeggan handicap on stable debut returning from a 214-day break; needs more up 7lb but a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (15/2 -7%)Katakana |
15/2(-7%) | (7) Katakana 15/2, May have found ground too soft, stiff mark down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; effective 2m on good; needs more to defy current mark. Dual bumper winner in France; won a Thurles handicap hurdle last October, but was poor at Cheltenham next time; market can guide on return with yard in form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (33/1 -106%)Rattledelatch |
33/1(-106%) | (11) Rattledelatch 33/1, Improved down in class on final qualifying run comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective 2m, acts on good; plenty of improvement required now handicapping to defy this mark. Beaten a long way in a bumper and three hurdles, so has to improve loads on handicap bow off what looks a stiff mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (11/2 +66%)Kamino Bello |
11/2(+66%) | (1) Kamino Bello 11/2, Returned to form back down in trip, did too much too soon having been taken on up front beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time; effective 2m, acts on good; debut form weak, mark demands more. Sligo maiden winner last year hasn't matched that form since; was poor at Punchestown, but was better at Downpatrick since; needs a return to his best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (12/1 +57%)Mc Swagger |
12/1(+57%) | (8) Mc Swagger 12/1, Never put into the race but improved on final qualifying run down the field in a maiden hurdle at Sligo most recent; effective 2m, acts on good; more to come when settling in handicaps. Promise in first two bumpers; soundly beaten in maiden hurdles, but can do better in this sphere; one of three for a yard that does well here, so watch the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (9) (20/1 -25%)Home By The Sea |
20/1(-25%) | (9) Home By The Sea 20/1, Mistakes, improved a little down in class when fourth beaten 6l in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon latest; effective 2m, acts on good; needs to improve again now handicapping, longer trip should suit. Promise in a bumper, but well beaten on first two hurdle starts; much-improved when fourth in a Roscommon maiden last time; has a shout if building on that.. |

Off the track since disappointing at Cheltenham in November, KATAKANA can make a winning reappearance. A dual bumper winner in France, the Henry De Bromhead-trained mare took an age to make the breakthrough in this country but looked a well handicapped horse when easily scoring at Thurles on her penultimate start. Given plenty of time to recover from a below par subsequent run, the six-year-old has strong claims here if fit and ready after that absence. Secret Rock, who made a winning stable debut for Cian Collins at Kilbeggan, has to be respected in his follow up bid. Eoin McCarthy runs three in this race, with Kingdom Calling looking the most interesting of those representatives.

1st (4) (7/2 +13%)Damascus Steel |
7/2(+13%) | (4) Damascus Steel 7/2, Travelled, back to form tried in cheekpieces landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Goodwood last time; trainer in form; suited by 12f, acts on any; chance if building on latest. Did well on AW last winter and even better form when the cheekpieces replaced a visor at Goodwood (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, leading over 1f out to score with rather more authority than the half-length winning margin suggests; used to act on good to firm; up 3lb but firmly in the picture.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/2 +8%)Epictetus |
11/2(+8%) | (3) Epictetus 11/2, Small step back in right direction beaten 7l in a handicap at Sandown last time; suited by 8-12f, acts on any; generally consistent but losing run stretches nearly 3 years. 1m2f Listed winner here in 2023 but well beaten on his only visit since; no win since a Group 3 in August 2023 but placed in AW/turf handicaps (1m-1m4f) this spring and continues down the weights; needs much better than he produced on last two outings.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/1 -29%)I'd Go Maniac |
9/1(-29%) | (6) I'd Go Maniac 9/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; effective 10-12f, acts on fast ground and AW; go well again. Bumper and 1m4f AW handicap winner; only three runs on Flat turf, the latest when second of 13 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May in first-time cheekpieces, which have been kept since; not disgraced when Georgia King was on again back on AW latest outing; needs a second look.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (2/1 +64%)Carnival Day |
2/1(+64%) | (1) Carnival Day 2/1, Below form, didn't get home back up to 10f beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Sandown last time; effective 10-12f, acts on any, likes give; bounce back needed. All wins have been at 1m2f and he ran well over the extended 1m here on reappearance, before a lesser show at Sandown; his record at this track is very solid, but those on good to firm and at 1m4f less so.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/2 +36%)Naval Command |
9/2(+36%) | (2) Naval Command 9/2, Found little, below form down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; stamina to prove. Six-race maiden whose easily best display in three handicaps came when fifth of ten at Chester (1m2f) in June; the lesser shows on either side were over about 1m3f; blinkers (worn on last two starts) are removed; 7lb lower than on handicap/seasonal debut but something to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (14/1 -40%)Shahbaz |
14/1(-40%) | (7) Shahbaz 14/1, Not best of runs, ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective 10-12f, acts on any; competitively weighted still. Creditable third off 9lb higher over C\u0026D on soft ground (acts on good to firm) last September in his only Epsom race; AW campaign in the winter for new yard did not go at all well until he perked up a bit in February on his last two outings; needs to build on that after his break but he's too well handicapped to be ignored.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (11/1 -230%)Pride Of Nepal |
11/1(-230%) | (5) Pride Of Nepal 11/1, Improved again, hit the line well, scored with bit in hand landing a handicap by a length off a 6lb lower mark at Ripon last time; effective 9-12f on a sound surface; in red-hot form, 6lb rise asks more but could be up to it. 8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player.. |

PRIDE OF NEPAL is in the form of his life and the eight-year-old bids for a fifth consecutive victory. He has gone up 19lb since returning to turf in May and boasts strong credentials once again after the latest success at Ripon. Damascus Steel returned to winning ways at Goodwood last time and is likely to be in the mix following a 3lb rise. Others to consider are I'd Go Maniac and Shahbaz.

1st (2) (4/5 0%)Square D'alboni |
4/5(0%) | (2) Square D'alboni 4/5, Improved up in trip after wind op when winning a maiden hurdle at Stratford by 7l last time; trainer in form; second run after wind op; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on any; useful on flat, more to come for top yard over hurdles. Useful Flat performer who made it third-time lucky over hurdles with a dominant display after wind surgery at Stratford (2m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; just about sets the standard under a penalty and he could have a lot more to offer in this sphere; strong contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/2 -127%)Chemistry |
5/2(-127%) | (1) Chemistry 5/2, Well held on Flat return down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 13-18f on soft, good and AW; in good form over hurdles where unexposed and form has been franked. On his third trainer and has rather chequered form but he won on hurdling debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in May and ran to a similar level when runner-up under a penalty at Kelso later that month; struggled back on the Flat last time but that was in the Northumberland Vase and he's respected back in this sphere; tongue-tie and cheekpieces are added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (12/1 +14%)Imperial Trooper |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Imperial Trooper 12/1, Modest hurdle debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time; usually held up; effective 10f, acts on heavy, good AW; Flat winner, stamina to prove for hurdling. Just 1-18 on the Flat but showed fair form when placed twice over 1m2f this spring; should have a future over hurdles but he made a low-key start in this sphere over C\u0026D (good; 20-1) last month; stablemate of Chemistry.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (25/1 -39%)Wait At The Gate |
25/1(-39%) | (5) Wait At The Gate 25/1, Pulled up in Restricted Point at Kingston Blount latest; off a short-break; placed in a point but up against it on hurdle debut. Point winner in April but he has a modest completion rate in that sphere and was pulled up at Kingston Blount last time; now makes his rules debut and he's probably best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (100/1 -52%)Connemara Joe |
100/1(-52%) | (3) Connemara Joe 100/1, Mistakes, outpaced, below debut form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Stratford last time; modest point form, not easily fancied, may need further. 0-7 in Irish points and he's been tailed off at big prices in both hurdle runs including behind Square d'Alboni at Stratford two weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (66/1 +34%)Scoro |
66/1(+34%) | (4) Scoro 66/1, Outpaced, needed stiffer test comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time; may need further over hurdles. Only 1-12 in points and he's been beaten 44l and 43l in two hurdle runs (2m, good) this summer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (300/1 -100%)Baileys Big Image |
300/1(-100%) | (8) Baileys Big Image 300/1, Too green to show anything on debut down the field in a maiden hurdle here most recent; showed nothing in points, bumper and over hurdles. Beaten out of sight in her sole bumper and same story at massive prices in two hurdle runs this summer.. |

Wait At The Gate won a point-to-point in April and has now moved to David Bridgwater for a career under Rules, with his pedigree suggesting he could have the speed for this trip. Chemistry won twice on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien and once over hurdles for Jennie Candlish and could prove the biggest danger to Dan Skelton's SQUARE D'ALBONI. Rated 108 at his peak on the Flat, he won his maiden hurdle at Stratford with ease and looks to have a bright future in this sphere.

1st (4) (3/1 +0%)Marmeladova |
3/1(+0%) | (4) Marmeladova 3/1, Ran to form up to 12f beaten 3l off this mark at Tramore last time; effective 7-12f on sound surface; may have more to offer. Ballinrobe maiden winner was a length off Daler back there last month (now 1lb better off); seemingly outstayed over 1m4f last time; touched off at Navan last year, so she goes left-handed; handicapped to win when everything falls into place.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (11/1 +8%)Blackjack Hills |
11/1(+8%) | (9) Blackjack Hills 11/1, Below form off new mark on return minus blinkers beaten 7l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; in good form prior; effective 8-11f, acts on heavy and AW; blinkers back on now and should come on for latest. Came good late in his three-year-old campaign when the blinds went on; back-to-back wins in 0-60 company at Gowran (1m, heavy) and Dundalk (10.5f); after eight months off, ran okay when upgraded to this level, finishing pretty much upsides Unterberg and Sinbad My Dad at Roscommon (10.5f).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/2 -54%)Daler |
5/2(-54%) | (2) Daler 5/2, Ran to form up to 10f second beaten 1 1/4l off 82 last time, 1lb higher here; top course jockey; effective 7-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; up again in weights but in fine form. AW winner surprised his trainer when handling soft ground here last month, beating Monday's ready Killarney winner Molto Amichi over 1m1f in first-time cheekpieces; winner got first run on him at Ballinrobe over almost this far, where he kept on well along with third-home Marmeladova.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/1 +29%)Sinbad My Dad |
10/1(+29%) | (6) Sinbad My Dad 10/1, Ran to form down to 10f beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; effective 8-11f, acts on soft, good and AW; respected off this mark. Sole win in 26 Flat starts was over 1m1f in lower-grade contest here last August; that is possibly his optimum trip, although only beaten half-a-length over 10.5f on AW in December; after five months off, not a bad run at Roscommon lately.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (6/1 -20%)Neo Smart |
6/1(-20%) | (5) Neo Smart 6/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at the Curragh last time; effective 7/8f on soft, good and AW; needs more up to 10f. Gained her second AW win off 72 in February, but just 1-28 on turf; good fourth of 20 over 1m at the Curragh last time; best form over 7f/1m, and just one inconclusive run over this trip here last year; yet to finish in the first three in five visits to this venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (3/1 +57%)Faro Island |
3/1(+57%) | (7) Faro Island 3/1, Below form up to 12f when seventh beaten 4l off 67 last time, same mark here; effective 8-11f, acts on soft and good; bounce back needed. Both wins have come right-handed on yielding ground, over 1m3f last year and under a brilliant ride from the champion jockey over 9.5f at Gowran last month; has run well this way round, too; handled quick ground okay when ridden to get 1m4f (upped to this grade) at the Curragh last time; cheekpieces swapped for blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (40/1 -21%)Out On Friday |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Out On Friday 40/1, Found little, below form down to 1m down the field in a handicap at Limerick most recent; enjoys making it; effective 10-12f, acts on good; return to 10f might help. Veteran front-runner won over 1m4f at Roscommon last year and was second at Fairyhouse in May; all eight wins have been at right-handed tracks; has to be opposed here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (20/1 -67%)Unterberg |
20/1(-67%) | (3) Unterberg 20/1, Again below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; effective 9-12f, acts on yielding, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. Loves Dundalk and won three in a row there in the spring (10.5f/1m4f); sole turf win came here last summer over 1m1f (off 60) and will be sharper for Roscommon run after nearly three months off; AW mark of 87; turf mark of 78 reflects his good AW form earlier in the year, rather than his actual achievements on grass.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (25/1 -39%)En Or |
25/1(-39%) | (1) En Or 25/1, Bit below form back on Flat down the field in Staying Handicap at the Curragh most recent; effective 10-16f; bounce back needed. Three Flat wins for this yard, including over 1m6f and 2m; unplaced in five starts on the level since winning over 10.5f on AW in late 2024, but was placed in a maiden hurdle in February; has gone to Galway the last three years, and this is most likely a prep run.. |

The Ger Lyons-trained DALER can register a second win here this season. A former all-weather victor, the Dark Angel gelding made the breakthrough on turf when scoring at this venue on his penultimate start. A staying on second at Ballinrobe last month, the four-year-old still looks ahead of the handicapper. Faced with an additional furlong now, this looks a nice opportunity to resume winning ways. Third in that aforementioned Ballinrobe race, Marmeladova went one better when runner-up at Tramore subsequently. The Ken Condon-trained mare has every chance of getting her head back in front. Faro Island, who arguably ran better than the bare form suggests when mid division in the Apprentices Derby, is also worthy of serious consideration.

(3) (2/1 -45%)Caislean Gear |
2/1(-45%) | (3) Caislean Gear 2/1, Bit free but ran to form when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a 4yo bumper at Limerick latest; effective 2m, acts on yielding, good; beaten by useful rival on debut, should progress. Solid debut effort at Roscommon on yielding to soft ground, but didn't improve from that at Limerick since, albeit still a decent effort; sets the standard on form, but vulnerable to a decent newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/4 -38%)Inishtearaght |
11/4(-38%) | (6) Inishtearaght 11/4, 22,000 euros Poet's Word gelding; half-brother to Golden Taipan, very useful from 16f to 20f; tongue-tie first time; shrewd yard does well in this discipline; likely type. Ninth foal; half-brother to AW bumper and useful 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner Golden Taipan; dam unraced and from the family of high-class chaser The Grey Monk; by a promising young sire and cost E22,000 as a 3yo; tongue-tie on for debut; top rider booked and one to be interested in, especially if there is market strength.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +60%)Emergency Man |
4/1(+60%) | (5) Emergency Man 4/1, Shirocco gelding; half-brother to Jetovango, moderate at 20f; dam placed over hurdles; probably best watched on debut. Fourth foal; half-brother to point winner Diamond Jetaway; dam placed 2m3f-3m hurdles, sister to useful 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner Jet Master, from family of high-class chaser Blazing Walker; unsold for E4,800 as a 3yo; yard can ready a newcomer, so needs a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/2 +55%)Walkineezy |
9/2(+55%) | (8) Walkineezy 9/2, 16,000 euros Walk In The Park gelding; dam a hurdles winner; good jockey booked; worth a precautionary market check. Second foal; brother to point winner Fox Walk; dam 1m7f hurdle winner, out of 2m hurdle-winning half-sister to Grand National winner Rule The World; by the champion sire but cost only E16,000 as a 3yo; top rider booked and one to check for market strength.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 -65%)Bravemans Call |
14/1(-65%) | (2) Bravemans Call 14/1, 10,000 euros Brave Mansonnien gelding; dam a point winner; stable relatively quiet just now; best watched. First foal; dam point winner, half-sister to 2m3f-3m3f hurdle winner Bryden Boy and bumper winner Hideaway Vic, out of bumper/2m4f hurdle winner; E10,000 foal is by a quality French sire and his yard does well at this track, so worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +0%)Charles Kickham |
18/1(+0%) | (4) Charles Kickham 18/1, Pulled way to front, did too much too soon well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Down Royal only start; hood first time; off a short-break; should improve a little for initial experience if settling. Second runner for yard; raced too keenly when beaten 28l in a Down Royal bumper in May; will need to settle better and a hood may help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (25/1 +11%)Bairdin |
25/1(+11%) | (1) Bairdin 25/1, Westerner gelding; tongue-tie first time; dam placed multiple times over hurdles; likely up against it. One of two runners for yard; second foal; dam placed 2m2f-3m1f hurdles, sister to winner Montys Meadow (useful bumper/2m hurdle/2m4f chase) and family of Grand National winner Monty's Pass; decent pedigree but a E5,000 vendor buyback as a foal; worth a market check; tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -127%)Throwmedownsomthin |
50/1(-127%) | (7) Throwmedownsomthin 50/1, Cityscape gelding; dam useful at 8f and a multiple winner on the Flat; yard quiet; watching brief advised. First foal; dam 1m2f winner (inc AW; RPR 82), sister to 1m4f-2m winner Pantomime, half-sister to 7f/1m winner Darkening, out of 6f winner; Flat-bred but there is stamina in his damline; could run respectably on debut.. |

With the benefit of previous experience, the Andrew Slattery-trained CAISLEAN GEAR should prove difficult to beat. Runner-up on his introduction at Roscommon last month, the son of Galileo Chrome again ran a solid race when fourth at Limerick last time. Unless one of the newcomers proves to be above average, this looks a nice opportunity for the gelding to gain a first win. A half-brother to a seven-time scorer, the Emmet Mullins-trained Inishtearaght has to be of interest. While he may prefer a stiffer test of stamina, any market support for the four-year-old should be noted. Bravemans Call, a debutant from the Eoin McCarthy yard, is another that has to be respected if the market vibes are positive.

(4) (11/8 +39%)Atmosphere |
11/8(+39%) | (4) Atmosphere 11/8, Ran to form beaten a length off this mark at Kempton last time; top course jockey; off a short-break; suited by 7f/1m, acts on good to firm and AW; in solid form in the main, respected. Reliable sort (on turf and AW) who won twice last summer and was runner-up in March/April on his last two outings; stable has struck often enough this summer for him to be given a close look despite this new track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/2 +9%)Uppercase |
5/2(+9%) | (5) Uppercase 5/2, Back to best landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on good to soft and AW; competitively weighted still. Can make the running and he went on before halfway when gamely winning a six-runnner handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft) five weeks ago, getting off the mark at eighth attempt; back up 2lb and unraced on good to firm, with this track a new experience too, but that latest run gives him a shot.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -60%)Cherry Cobbler |
4/1(-60%) | (2) Cherry Cobbler 4/1, Ran to form when second beaten a neck off 75 last time, 1lb higher here; suited by 5-7f, acts on good and AW; inconsistent of late but good chance at best. Won at Newmarket (7f, good) in May, ran respectably at Goodwood next time and beaten a neck at Newmarket four weeks ago; finished last in April (reappearance) in his only race on good to firm but otherwise needs plenty of respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 +31%)Musical Angel |
11/2(+31%) | (1) Musical Angel 11/2, Below best, had to wait for run beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; significant jockey booking; suited by 6/7f and a sound surface; former C&D winner, capable of a good run. Made all last term in a maiden at Brighton (good to firm) and a handicap over C\u0026D (good to soft), the latter in September on final run for Andrew Balding; back over C\u0026D on last two outings and not disgraced when sixth of ten on latest (co-favourite); case can be made back on last winning mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (20/1 -264%)Dream Of Mischief |
20/1(-264%) | (3) Dream Of Mischief 20/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; competitively weighted still. C\u0026D winner in 2024 but three subsequent visits have not gone nearly so well; none too consistent but two of his last four AW runs, including in January latest, give him a shout if he's ready following the absence; he's twice been runner-up after longer layoffs.. |

UPPERCASE has improved with each start this season and Harry Eustace's gelding makes plenty of appeal having got off the mark at Catterick last time. The four-year-old went up 2lb for that success and is expected to be too strong for Atmosphere, who has been knocking on the door in three all-weather appearances this year. Cherry Cobbler's latest second at Newmarket gives him every chance.

(6) (7/4 +47%)Fane Court |
7/4(+47%) | (6) Fane Court 7/4, Ran to form 7l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; effective at 3m; type to do better handicapping over longer trips but mark demands it. 0-7 under rules but he's reached the frame in both runs for his current yard including when third in a C\u0026D handicap (good) last week; on same mark here and has each-way claims again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 +27%)The Great Escape |
4/1(+27%) | (2) The Great Escape 4/1, Did too much too soon and set it up for closers comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; must bounce back. Runner-up on handicap debut here (2m4f, good) last July but he's struggled since, including in three runs this year; overall record is now 0-10 and he has plenty to prove back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -83%)Final Entry |
11/2(-83%) | (1) Final Entry 11/2, Improved on recent form up in trip landing a handicap by a nose off a 4lb lower mark at Newton Abbot last time; effective 2-3 1/4m, acts on soft and good to soft; in decent form and well treated on juvenile efforts. 5yo who made it 2-7 over hurdles when scoring in a first-time visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; that was by a nose but he hit a personal best with that success and is still unexposed at staying trips; respected up 4lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (13/2 -18%)Warner's Cross |
13/2(-18%) | (7) Warner's Cross 13/2, Continued in poor form, race may have come too soon comfortably held in a handicap chase at Southwell last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; must bounce back. Won at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) in June 2024 but he's not seen much action since and has struggled over hurdles and fences in last five runs; now 14lb lower than for his win but he needs a major revival back in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 -67%)Ikigai Star |
10/1(-67%) | (3) Ikigai Star 10/1, Modest Flat return comfortably held in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by sound surface; 10lb below last winning mark, stamina concerns up in trip. Won off 10lb higher at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) last May but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 10l back on the Flat (1m6f) two weeks ago; has lots to prove and this is his first run beyond 2m5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +36%)Kantagua Du Large |
18/1(+36%) | (4) Kantagua Du Large 18/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel most recent; effective around 2m4f, acts on very soft, good to soft; largely struggling since move from France. Her sole win was over fences in France in January 2024; has dropped a long way in the weights and she's been tailed off in last two runs and is now 0-10 for current yard; opposable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 -100%)Hardy Buck |
22/1(-100%) | (5) Hardy Buck 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Hereford latest where didn't handle the heavy ground; effective 2m2f-2m7f, acts on good; weak finisher. Pulled up in his final run during winter but that was in the mud and he won by 7l over this trip at Exeter (good to soft) in December; looks interesting on that form and he needs a close look back from five months off.. |

Fane Court was not disgraced when a seven-length third over C&D last Friday and he comes into calculations, but FINAL ENTRY seems the one on an upward curve. With no stamina issues after winning narrowly over much further at Newton Abbot, he showed a willing attitude that day and could shrug off the extra 4lb. Hardy Buck appears best of the remainder.

(3) (3/1 -60%)Killyclogher Rose |
3/1(-60%) | (3) Killyclogher Rose 3/1, Improved switching to handicaps, hit the line well landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Naas last time; effective 11/12f, acts on good and AW; more to come from progressive filly. Placed over 1m4f on AW and, after five months off, wasn't stopping when 20-1 winner of first handicap at Naas (1m3f, good); by a Derby winner and dam (by Dubawi) won over 10.5f; should stay and obvious chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 +5%)Tatum |
10/3(+5%) | (5) Tatum 10/3, Won this last year; ran to form up to 17f beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Limerick last time; effective 10-17f on soft and good; should be fine down in trip. Placed at two before missing 3yo season; two wins here last year, including corresponding contest (Ob La Di well-held fourth); not seen after that until fair comeback over 1m2f here in May, and 2m1f may have stretched her at Limerick; only 4lb higher than last year; likes it good, but scratched because of quick ground last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +20%)Ob La Di |
4/1(+20%) | (1) Ob La Di 4/1, Back to form beaten 6l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; effective 10-12f, acts on heavy and good; inconsistent of late. Both wins in August, so coming into her time of year; money for her when fourth over 1m2f here in May, and stayed on from rear when fifth in the Ladies Derby over 1m2f at the Curragh, a race won by well-backed stablemate; that run might have sweetened her up and she can reverse placings with third-placed Cooley's Mist; hampered when fourth to Tatum in last year's renewal; has won over 1m4f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 -11%)Cooley's Mist |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Cooley's Mist 5/1, Ran to form back up to 10f when 4 1/2l third in a handicap at the Curragh most recent run; effective 9-10f, acts on heavy and good; chance if building on latest. Lightly-raced 4-y-o; fourth in big-field handicap over 1m1f here last summer when with Natalia Lupini; placed twice last month, again over 1m1f here and when third in Ladies Derby at the Curragh, a length in front of Ob La Di; stamina is the concern (not bred to stay this far).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 -14%)Derry Lad |
8/1(-14%) | (4) Derry Lad 8/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Naas last time; top course jockey; effective 10-12f, acts on heavy and good; chance if building on latest. Latest of four wins was over 1m4f three years ago, but he's on a good mark nowadays and came home well when around 3l fifth to Killyclogher Rose at Naas (1m3f); she's a lot less exposed though, and he might struggle to turn around that form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 -22%)Cala Bonita |
11/1(-22%) | (2) Cala Bonita 11/1, Found little, below form tried in blinkers well beaten in a handicap at Navan latest; effective 8-12f, acts on good and AW; bounce back needed. Won over 1m at Gowran last summer, and twice in the autumn over 10.5f at Dundalk; return over 1m4f was respectable; slow to stride and weakened tamely over 1m2f at Navan on Saturday; tongue-tie and blinkers worn then replaced by the cheekpieces worn for AW wins; stamina on dam's side of pedigree, but not sure to stay this far.. |

Having shaped with promise on his last two starts for trainer Harry Rogers, COOLEY'S MIST can record a first career win. A son of Churchill, the four-year-old gelding has run some of his best races at this track. Seemingly at his best on fast ground, he looks likely to have his optimum conditions on this occasion and, Chris Hayes returns to the saddle. A lightly raced daughter of Masar, Killyclogher Rose made a winning handicap debut at Naas last month. Open to further improvement after just four starts, the Andy Oliver-trained four-year-old shouldn't be far away. Ob La Di, who caught the eye staying on late in the Ladies Derby last time, is another that has to be considered.

(8) (3/1 -60%)Flashy Fred |
3/1(-60%) | (8) Flashy Fred 3/1, Very promising effort when second beaten 3/4l in a bumper at Downpatrick latest; effective 2m2f, acts on good; placed in a point, knew job on debut, could progress a little. Beaten 9l on sole point start by a rival that made E100,000 since; ran a cracker on bumper debut at Downpatrick when runner-up to a more experienced rival; can improve for that and a leading lady rider aboard, so a solid chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (3/1 +25%)Cast A Cold Eye |
3/1(+25%) | (11) Cast A Cold Eye 3/1, Showed minor promise on debut well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Ballinrobe only start; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, acts on soft; debut form boosted over hurdles, should have much more to offer top stable. Half-sister to Champion Bumper winner Bambino Fever; was weak in the market when beaten 13l on debut at Ballinrobe last September; likely to do better after an absence and is one for the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (3/1 +40%)Village Dream |
3/1(+40%) | (15) Village Dream 3/1, Mastercraftsman mare; half-sister to Bun Doran, very smart at 16f over fences; tongue-tie first time; top trainer gets plenty of first time out winners in this sphere. Sister to 2m5f-3m2f chase winner Village Master, half-sister to four winners including Bun Doran (high-class bumper and 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase) and Shantou Village (smart bumper and 2m4f-2m7f hurdle/chase); a sibling to some smart sorts, but seems the champion trainer's second-string; could still run well; tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (3/1 +50%)Super Freak |
3/1(+50%) | (14) Super Freak 3/1, Not disgraced in good race on debut well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Galway only start; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, acts on good; debut form franked at Listed level, may just need this. Respectable debut effort for former yard when beaten 16l in a Galway bumper nearly a year ago; absence since is a concern, but could run well for a respected local yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +11%)Well Bud |
4/1(+11%) | (6) Well Bud 4/1, Very promising debut 11l third in a Ladies bumper here most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m; debut form had knocks but should improve for that experience. Not a lot of promise when failing to complete in two point starts; however, a different story over C\u0026D on bumper debut when beaten only 11l; the tongue-tie worn then is retained and should have improved since, so is a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +43%)Adifferentballowax |
16/1(+43%) | (7) Adifferentballowax 16/1, Outpaced, modest debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Limerick most recent; longer trip should suit and may have more to offer top yard. Well beaten in the Goffs Defender bumper on debut and not much better in a Limerick maiden hurdle; best watched for the time being.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +55%)Langage Du Large |
18/1(+55%) | (4) Langage Du Large 18/1, Fell when beaten in a maiden point at Bartlemy latest; off a long absence; failed to complete sole point start. Half-brother to five winners including the useful Farceur Du Large; started 5/2 favourite and was running respectably on point debut when falling last year; likely best watched unless strong in the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (22/1 +33%)You Lift Me Up |
22/1(+33%) | (10) You Lift Me Up 22/1, 5,000 euros Kew Gardens gelding; half-brother to Wilton Mills Trier, smart at 17f winning in points and bumpers; watch betting. Third foal; half-brother to bumper winner Wilton Mills Trier; dam unraced half-sister to winners Solsbury Hill (2m hurdle/chase) and Reelingintheyears (2m3f hurdle); E5,000 foal was unsold for E4,500 as a 3yo; not a bad pedigree and could be capable of running well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 +0%)S T Hamo |
25/1(+0%) | (5) S T Hamo 25/1, Never in it from off the pace comfortably held in a bumper at Kilbeggan last time; hood first time; off a short-break; hard to make a case for. Beaten 17l and 23l in two bumpers on varying ground conditions; fitted with a hood and tongue-tie today, but best watched for the time being.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (33/1 +18%)Eleen Alana |
33/1(+18%) | (12) Eleen Alana 33/1, Gregorian mare; half-brother Super Fast won on debut over 10f; yard in good form; worth a market check. Ninth foal; half-sister to winners Thou Art Peter (1m/1m2f inc HK dirt; RPR 80) and Bungle Inthedesert (1m AW; 73); dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m2f winner Saab Alamanal; Flat-bred filly was a E5,000 vendor buyback as a yearling; stamina concerns, so best watched for future reference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -100%)Without Deception |
40/1(-100%) | (9) Without Deception 40/1, 16,000 euros Vadamos gelding; tongue-tie first time; dam placed in multiple bumpers in France; market may prove best guide. Second foal; dam runner-up in 1m3f/1m4f AQPS Flat races and 2m4f hurdle, half-sister to high-class bumper and 2m-2m7f/chase hurdle winner Bacardys; E25,000 foal then made only E16,000 as a 3yo; decent pedigree; tongue-tie for debut; best watched unless market support.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (50/1 +50%)Amazing Times |
50/1(+50%) | (2) Amazing Times 50/1, Fell early in a maiden at Ballingarry latest; off a short-break; showed nothing in points and hard to fancy on rules debut. Beaten 18l on sole completed point start and doesn't make much appeal on bumper debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (50/1 +24%)Farney Bridge |
50/1(+24%) | (3) Farney Bridge 50/1, Outpaced, modest debut well beaten in a bumper at Punchestown only start; all to prove. Beaten 23l on debut at Punchestown and will have to improve plenty on that to score.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (66/1 -100%)Whitehall Girl |
66/1(-100%) | (16) Whitehall Girl 66/1, 4,000 euros Idaho filly; half-sister to Slainte Mhor, fair at 20f; another half sister a hurdles winner; could get involved on debut. Ninth foal; half-sister to winners Slainte Mhor (3m chase) and Persian Daughter (2m6f hurdle); dam unraced half-sister to high-class 2m5f-3m6f hurdle/chase winner Ad Hoc; by a useful sire and a decent damline; cost E4,000 as a 3yo; will likely improve from this.. |

80/1(-60%) | (1) All Of A Sudden 80/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding; half-brother to Lough Carra, fair at 20f; dam useful at 14f and placed over hurdles; up against it. Eighth foal; dam placed 2m4f/2m6f hurdles, half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner Marvada (dam of 1m2f Group 2 winner Terebellum), out of French 1m3f winner; dam hasn't a great record at stud; unsold for E1,800 as a 3yo; doesn't make a lot of appeal on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (80/1 -60%)No Brainer |
80/1(-60%) | (13) No Brainer 80/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; showed nothing in points. By a useful sire and from the family of Gold Cup winner Long Run; however, has been pulled-up on both point runs, so isn't easy to fancy; tongue-tie on.. |

SUPER FREAK is a speculative suggestion on her stable debut for Tom Cooper. A promising sixth at last years Galway festival for previous connections, the five-year-old has been off the track since then. While both fitness and ability have to be taken on trust after an absence, the fact Cooper introduces her at his local track and has gone to the trouble of booking very capable amateur Charlotte Butler, suggests that a big run is expected. Cast A Cold Eye is an obvious contender with Jody Townend taking the ride for Willie Mullins. Placed in both his point-to-point and bumper, Flashy Fred has to be of interest. His trainer Conor Houlihan has made a bright start to his new career.

(8) (11/10 +37%)Ice Cube |
11/10(+37%) | (8) Ice Cube 11/10, Bit keen, late gains off pace beaten 2l off this mark at Newmarket (July) last time; top course jockey; seems effective at 7f/1m; needs more. Eight-race maiden who made the running on first three starts this term but switched to trying to come from the rear when hooded on both since; Newmarket latest (7f, good to firm; 40-1) was a positive performance as he seemed to be gathering momentum in the closing stages and was beaten just 2l in sixth of 11; dropped 2lb today and everything may well click into place soon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +36%)Sun Of Dolly |
9/2(+36%) | (5) Sun Of Dolly 9/2, Didn't stay up to 7f beaten 10l in a handicap at Haydock last time; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on heavy and good to firm; has a bigger effort in him. Best form when fourth of 13 on handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm), faring best of those held up; readily outgunned once in the clear at Haydock (upped to 7f) later in May but soft ground was a possible excuse.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +0%)Piazza |
5/1(+0%) | (1) Piazza 5/1, Hampered late, should have finished closer beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good and AW; fair mark and has a good run in her. Unraced on good to firm except on debut (last of four); yard is among the winners and a recent, never-nearer fifth of 12 on the Kempton AW (7f; 12-1) was a respectable start to this filly's 3yo campaign, not getting the clearest of runs late on; needs a close look.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 -50%)Eyes Front |
15/2(-50%) | (2) Eyes Front 15/2, Ran to form down to 7f tried in blinkers beaten 2l off this mark at Doncaster last time; suited by 7f/1m and a sound surface on turf; chance if building on latest. Probably started handicap life on a demanding mark and he'd dropped 10lb before going down by just under 2l when fifth of 15 at Doncaster (7f, good) in first-time blinkers on latest outing; hit the front over 1f out that day but wandered under pressure; needs to see it out better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 -11%)Karisma's Angel |
10/1(-11%) | (9) Karisma's Angel 10/1, Outclassed by winner but probably ran to form when second beaten 13l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; trainer in form; wide draw; probably effective 7f, acts on AW; latest run probably reflects ability. Debut (well beaten) was her only start on turf; sent handicapping for last two outings and came second of eight at Wolverhampton (7f) in February on latest, albeit beaten 13l; relatively early days but it's not yet clear that she's worth this mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 -83%)Twilight Glow |
11/1(-83%) | (4) Twilight Glow 11/1, Again below form tried in visor beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Ffos Las last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and AW; needs more. Nine-race maiden; reappearance was his best show this term and, having had four starts since, it's hard to get excited about his chance today despite the falling mark; first wore a visor on latest outing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 -85%)Madman |
12/1(-85%) | (7) Madman 12/1, Back to best beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Salisbury last time; suited by 6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; consistent enough. Sole win from 17 races was on Kempton AW (6f) in January; new yard when back on turf for last three outings, not far away in two of those but better is needed to win this; his only two attempts over this far did not convince.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 +12%)Credit Forgedd It |
22/1(+12%) | (6) Credit Forgedd It 22/1, Bit keen back up to 7f when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Brighton latest; suited by 7f/1m, acts on sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Best effort in eight starts for Richard Hannon when beaten a neck in a Wolverhampton nursery (8.6f, AW) in December; 6,000gns buy in February before never dangerous in a small field at Brighton (7f, good to firm; 28-1) 16 days ago; needs a rapid revival.. |

PIAZZA wasn't at all disgraced on her first appearance in 10 months when fifth at Kempton. The daughter of Starspangledbanner should take a decent step forward in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Madman runs off the same mark as when filling the runner-up spot at Salisbury last month and is respected, along with Credit Forgedd It and Ice Cube.

(6) (11/10 +32%)Phantom Gold |
11/10(+32%) | (6) Phantom Gold 11/10, Keen, travelled, ran to form but out-battled late beaten a short-head off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective at 2m1f on good; bumper and point winner, longer trip may help in handicaps. Useful bumper winner for Ben Brookhouse; still lightly raced and runner-up in both his handicaps, only narrowly failing to justify market support last time here over 2m; only 3lb higher and should stay this far; has been held up in recent races.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/2 +44%)Shesonnet |
5/2(+44%) | (3) Shesonnet 5/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Warwick three starts back; returned to form down in trip second beaten a length off 101 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 2m-2m4f, acts with cut and on good; inconsistent. Warwick winner in May (2m5f, good) and kept on to go down by only a length over C\u0026D a month ago; solid chance off 2lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (5/1 +9%)Locked Down Lad |
5/1(+9%) | (9) Locked Down Lad 5/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; frustrating maiden. Winning pointer; 0-14 over hurdles but has placed form and interesting that he was sent off the 7-2 favourite when pretty much tailed off here 15 days ago (after three months off); hard to trust on the back of that effort, for all that better was presumably expected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 -33%)Golden Glance |
10/1(-33%) | (5) Golden Glance 10/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; mistakes, may not have stayed last time, same mark here; effective 2m4f, acts on heavy, good; inconsistent of late, remains well treated on old form. Exploited much-reduced mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) and it was over 2m7f when not so good at Bangor; this should be more her trip but she is a hard mare to predict.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 +38%)Royal Rhythm |
10/1(+38%) | (8) Royal Rhythm 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest where never jumped or travelled; effective 2-3m, acts with cut; appears regressive. The last of his four hurdle wins was in late 2023; well beaten in this discipline before pulling up on last week's belated return to fences.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +28%)Leave Her To Me |
18/1(+28%) | (4) Leave Her To Me 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster latest where failed to stay 3m; usually held up; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft, good mark possibly stiff enough. Out of form in two runs last winter but she is 3-12 over hurdles and realistically handicapped if she can rediscover her form; market could be helpful back from a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (66/1 -32%)Prince Imperial |
66/1(-32%) | (1) Prince Imperial 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest where failed to stay; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, suited by good ground; back below last winning mark but form has tailed off. Won four of his first five for Olly Murphy (including a handicap off much higher mark) but he's lost his way badly.. |

Dublinofficecallin is better than we have seen recently having won over this distance at Perth in April off 4lb lower, and if he brushes up his hurdling he could get involved. Phantom Gold failed to cheer up favourite backers when a short-head second here at the start of the month but he has to cope with 3lb more here, leaving OCTOBER HILL as the pick. Brought down three out at Worcester in June when travelling well enough, she won her previous race at Ffos Las and arrives with every chance.

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.
