The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Eric Lock should have learned plenty from his debut fourth over 5f at Dundalk last month and the son of Advertise looks sure to improve for this step up in distance. However, the Aidan O'Brien-trained RIGHT AND TRUE could have too much class for these rivals. He ticks plenty of the right boxes on his pedigree and may open his account this afternoon en route to bigger things. Market support for fellow newcomers Elzem and Real Life would also be interesting.
MOUNT PARNASSUS caught the eye on debut over C&D recently, and is open to considerable improvement, so might be worth chancing in a very well-contested maiden. There's several interesting newcomers in opposition, headed by Right And True and Barnavara
Joseph O'Brien may take this with ELZEM,, a brother to Group 1-winning filly Champers Elysees

16/1(+0%) | (12) Pahlavi 16/1, Modest hurdler. 33/1, good fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 10 months ago. Has performed okay in a couple of maiden hurdles but looks one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (17) (11/4 -10%) Mordor |
11/4(-10%) | (17) Mordor 11/4, Respectable third of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16.9f, heavy, 6/4) 17 days ago. Claims on pick of his form but others might improve past him. Not built on his excellent third at Leopardstown but still a big player in this company. |

125/1(-25%) | (20) Drum Roll 125/1, Eighth of 13 in juvenile hurdle (33/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 25 days ago. Placed on the Flat in France; tailed off in both her completed maiden hurdles. |

50/1(-52%) | (19) Buttoned Up 50/1, Sixth of 15 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Probably flattered to not be beaten far in a sprint finish at Tramore. |

50/1(-100%) | (9) Kalsman 50/1, Poor maiden. Fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good, 100/1) 10 days ago. 18-race maiden with a basement mark on the Flat and over hurdles; makes no real appeal. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (66/1 -100%) High Honour |
66/1(-100%) | (5) High Honour 66/1, Fairly useful handicapper at best on Flat. Making GB/IRE jumps debut. Seventeenth of 19 in handicap (125/1) at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 49 days ago. Tongue strap on. Won for Godolphin but failed to progress; well held in two valuable h'caps for this yard. |

50/1(-52%) | (18) Ballinearla Girl 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut. Hooded for 1st time. Beaten 13l and 10l in her two bumpers so she has a degree of ability; hood added. |

125/1(-279%) | (4) Garrick Painter 125/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Twelfth of 15 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) on NH debut 10 days ago. Found no fluency in his jumping when tailed off at Downpatrick ten days ago (28-1). |

15th (6) (40/1 +0%) Zero Fighter |
40/1(+0%) | (6) Zero Fighter 40/1, Modest winner at 7f on Flat. Fourth of 16 in juvenile hurdle (33/1) at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Limited on the Flat so ran surprisingly well to be fourth at Bellewstown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (16) (300/1 -355%) Kartel And Co |
300/1(-355%) | (16) Kartel And Co 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, fourteenth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Down the field in maidens at Cork and Bellewstown; similar scenario very feasible here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (8) (125/1 -150%) Gustavo Goodway |
125/1(-150%) | (8) Gustavo Goodway 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Naas (19.3f, soft) 20 days ago. 0-4 in points and tailed off in two maiden hurdles; drier ground this time but opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (15) (50/1 -257%) Dromineer Smurphy |
50/1(-257%) | (15) Dromineer Smurphy 50/1, 10/1 and tongue strap on, third of 10 in claiming hurdle at Clonmel (18.7f, soft) on NH debut 18 days ago. Third in a Clonmel claimer on debut and he's sure to need more here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
In a race with more questions than answers, it seems likely that the Gordon Elliott-trained Mordor will head the market after his 10-length Limerick third, but that form does not look unbeatable. WHATSANOTHERYEAR went into a few notebooks after his debut fifth and he should only have learned from that experience, making him a very interesting contender. Dromineer Smurphy weakened late on over further at Clonmel and could surprise a few with even nominal improvement, despite a rise in class.
LE COQ HARDI offered plenty to work on in a hot Punchestown novice hurdle in November and is hard to get away from in this company with improvement likely. Mordor and Old Port are dangers.
There's a lot of dead wood. MORDOR has become disappointing but he warrants another chance in a maiden of this nature.

1st (5) (5/6 +45%) Whistlejacket |
5/6(+45%) | (5) Whistlejacket 5/6, 500,000 gns yearling. Brother to very smart 5f/6f (including Phoenix Stakes at 2 yrs) winner Little Big Bear (beaten here on debut and won second time out). Evens, second of 11 in maiden at this course (6f, heavy) on debut 15 days ago, clear of rest. Down in trip and sure to improve. Beaten favourite over 6f on debut at this course; the drop in trip should suit; big player. |

2nd (1) (2/1 -6%) Arizona Blaze |
2/1(-6%) | (1) Arizona Blaze 2/1, £82,000 yearling. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Sailthisshipalone and 1m winner Dreaming Spires. Dam 1¼m winner out of useful 1½m-1¾m winner Jane Austen. 5/4, won 8-runner maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut 49 days ago, with Monotone third. Sure to progress and win more races. Made a big impression when winning over C&D on the opening day of the season; hard to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (20/1 -25%) Monotone |
20/1(-25%) | (3) Monotone 20/1, Verbal Dexterity colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m winner Wexford Native and 7f winner Theodorico. Behind Arizona Blaze here on debut then won 6-runner maiden at Cork (5f, heavy, 11/4) 37 days ago. More to come.

Represents same connections as Arizona Blaze and stiff task for debut. Seems yard second-string and would have to be very smart to win this on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (8/1 -100%) Morning Vietnam |
8/1(-100%) | (4) Morning Vietnam 8/1, £17,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle colt. Half-brother to winner up to 11.6f Azor Ahai and 5f-6f winner Astapor. 13/8, won 9-runner maiden at Dundalk (5f) on debut 41 days ago, easily. Will improve. An impressive winner over 5f on debut at Dundalk; will have to step up a fair bit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A winner on the opening day of the season, ARIZONA BLAZE can maintain his unbeaten record for trainer Adrian Murray. The third horse, Monotone, went on to give that particular form a boost when successful at Cork on his next start. With his ability to handle testing conditions not in question, Murray's colt can make it two wins from two under David Egan. Dundalk maiden winner Morning Vietnam looked a very useful prospect when easily going in at the first time of asking, but the Michael O'Callaghan-trained colt faces an altogether different set of conditions here. Whistlejacket, who showed plenty of early speed on his debut over 6f, should appreciate dropping back a furlong now.
A hot renewal of this listed contest with WHISTLEJACKET taken to emulate his distinguished brother Little Big Bear and make his second outing a winning one having been beaten in the same 6f maiden here on debut. Arizona Blaze and Morning Vietnam made successful starts and seem sure to improve also.
Having impressed when winning here on the opening day of the season, with Monotone in third, ARIZONA BLAZE can win again.

Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 9f (including US Grade 1 1m winner) River Boyne. 12/1, third of 8 in minor event at this C&D (good to soft) on debut 11 days ago, clear of rest.

Promising individual. 2/1, second of 8 in minor event at this C&D (good to soft) on debut 11 days ago. Will improve. Second in a C&D fillies' novice on debut (favourite); likely contender this time.. |

12th (1) (50/1 -100%) Azuinthejungle |
50/1(-100%) | (1) Azuinthejungle 50/1, Foaled April 27. Rumble Inthejungle gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Maybe Even Never. Dam, winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Mega Back. Half-brother to a 6f winner out of a mare who won over 5f; should be better for the run. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
LARCHILL LASS was beaten by less distance than she gave away at the start when second over this course and distance 11 days ago and, with that debut run likely to have taught her plenty, the Karl Burke-trained filly can go one better now. Call Me Harswell was third that day and has to enter calculations, while Stat Goddess (fourth) also reopposes and can do better.
LARCHHILL LASS created a good inpression when second over C&D on debut recently and is the one to beat. Spring Corn and Call Me Harswell, who was a place behind the selection on debut, head the dangers.
This valuable prize can go to SPRING CORN who shaped with promise on his Ripon debut and has the best draw here.

1st (6) (3/1 +25%) Charlie Mason |
3/1(+25%) | (6) Charlie Mason 3/1, 11/1, first run since leaving David Evans when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago, slowly away. Not dismissed. Returning to further will help after getting outpaced over shorter at Bath. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 -56%) Kiss And Run |
7/2(-56%) | (5) Kiss And Run 7/2, Very good second of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to soft, 11/1) 17 days ago. Should be hard to pass if she can reproduce that form. Front-running second off this mark at Bath and looks sure to go give it a good go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/1 +33%) Johnny Johnson |
5/1(+33%) | (2) Johnny Johnson 5/1, 5/1, third of 5 in maiden at Chelmsford City (5f) 30 days ago. Back up in trip. Others have achieved more. Likeable Chelmsford run but he ran poorly on soft ground last season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/3 -21%) Different Breed |
10/3(-21%) | (1) Different Breed 10/3, Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner minor event (11/8) at Lingfield (7f, AW), finding extra. Off 103 days. Should go well again. Consistent and deserved his Lingfield win off just 2lb lower; soft ground a grey area. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/2 -5%) Dark Fandango |
7/2(-5%) | (4) Dark Fandango 7/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in maiden (28/1) at this course (5.1f, good), not knocked about. Off 9 months. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer. Gelded since an improved final run of last season; h'cap debut; soft ground a worry. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The consistent Different Breed was a notably game winner on the all-weather when last seen. However, that success came over 7f and this is no easy task reverting to turf off a 2lb higher mark. With that in mind, CHARLIE MASON could be worth chancing after showing up well with a fourth-placed finish on his seasonal/stable debut at Bath last month. With the in-form Rossa Ryan back in the saddle, a breakthrough success on turf is feasible for the selection off 1lb lower here. Kiss And Run completes the shortlist.
KISS AND RUN improved when second at Bath last time and a performance of similar merit could be enough to go one better at the possible expense of last-time-out winner Different Breed. Dark Fandango is a likely improver on handicap debut, so he's also considered.
This looks sure to be run at a good clip and that will suit CHARLIE MASON who got outpaced over shorter at Bath before running on.

9/2(-64%) | (1) Benjis Benefit 9/2, Good second of 15 in handicap hurdle (6/4) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 10 days ago, not ideally placed. First run for yard after leaving Emmet Mullins.

12/1(+82%) | (15) Divilabother 12/1, Twelfth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy, 40/1) 57 days ago. Booking of Millar a plus. Well held all four starts including 30l defeat on handicap debut at Naas. |

17/2(-31%) | (20) Chancer Dancer 17/2, 4/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft). Off 7 months. Not taken lightly. Fourth in this last year and some creditable efforts since but been off since September. |

9/1(-64%) | (4) Forever Frankie 9/1, Good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.7f, good to soft, 10/1) 14 days ago. Merits consideration on the back of that excellent run. By far his best run over hurdles after 5 months off when second to an improver at Tramore. |

16/1(+52%) | (9) Royal Time 16/1, Fourteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy, 33/1) 57 days ago. Shrewd yard but 5yo was unfancied when well beaten on handicap debut at Naas. |

9/2(+78%) | (16) Rightfolksplease 9/2, Fourteenth of 24 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, soft). Off 13 months. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve. Beaten around 60l all completed starts in maidens; handicap debut after 13 months off. |

50/1(-100%) | (6) She's Tobias 50/1, Fell in handicap hurdle at Naas (19.3f, soft, 40/1) 20 days ago. Had decent form for Adrian Murray in 2022; nothing for current yard, fell halfway at Naas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (19) (20/1 +39%) Ballerina Boxer |
20/1(+39%) | (19) Ballerina Boxer 20/1, Hood/tongue strap on for first time, brought down in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Naas (19.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Mid-division finish on second handicap start at Naas wasn't too bad; hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (14/1 -75%) Up And Out |
14/1(-75%) | (3) Up And Out 14/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 14/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Got a bit tired after seven months off when third at Tramore and should strip fitter here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (8) (50/1 -213%) Natural Ability |
50/1(-213%) | (8) Natural Ability 50/1, 80/1, eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Limerick (17.7f, heavy) 132 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Noted connections but modest form over hurdles and fences and been off since Christmas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (17) (66/1 -100%) Volez Vous |
66/1(-100%) | (17) Volez Vous 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, sixth of 7 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (18.7f, soft) 18 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Smaller margin of defeat on latest maiden start but still modest form; handicap debut. |

66/1(-65%) | (18) A La Carte 66/1, Hooded for first time, tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good to soft, 50/1) 12 days ago. Booking of Harney a plus. Modest form including when hooded for recent handicap debut (2m4f); better for that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (13) (33/1 +0%) Spyfall |
33/1(+0%) | (13) Spyfall 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, last of 5 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 46 days ago. Well held over hurdles including in handicaps here and at Ludlow; better ground may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (5) (22/1 +12%) Roderick |
22/1(+12%) | (5) Roderick 22/1, Fair winner at 8f on Flat. 17/2, thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 13 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Open to improvement in this sphere. Decent on the Flat (rated 70) but not shown much hurdling and looks yard second-string. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (12) (33/1 -65%) Eikonix |
33/1(-65%) | (12) Eikonix 33/1, Unreliable type. Thirteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Hurdles form has been poor but could fare better on this ground with blinkers fitted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Benjis Benefit once more failed to justify favouritism when runner-up at Downpatrick recently, although a similar performance on his stable bow for Denis Hogan is likely to see him in the mix once more. However, it could be worth taking a chance on UP AND OUT building on her third-placed reappearance at Tramore last month. That marked a return to form for Gordon Elliott's mare and Jake Coen's 5lb claim could prove vital. Forever Frankie and Breagagh also warrant a closer look.
BENJIS BENEFIT was a rare one who failed to deliver when the money was down twice for Emmet Mullins but he's joined another shrewd yard and is worth another chance. Forever Frankie produced a big career best at Tramore a fortnight ago and is a threat, along with Breagagh.
Dropping back in trip may not be ideal for BENJIS BENEFIT but 2m1f around here should be enough of a test and he's well up to winning

1st (7) (9/2 +10%) Monkey Miss |
9/2(+10%) | (7) Monkey Miss 9/2, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 9/1) 18 days ago, slowly away. Again showed enough last time, from another wide draw, to enter calculations down 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 -20%) Anglesey Lad |
4/1(-20%) | (3) Anglesey Lad 4/1, Improved when runner-up in a 6f Newcastle nursery on final start at 2 yrs, and reappearance fourth of 9 over 7f at Wolverhampton 37 days ago wasn't a bad effort (couple of winners have come from the race). Entitled to come on for that and interesting down in trip. Inclined to pull hard from a wide stall on his Tapeta comeback (7.2f); one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (8/1 -33%) It's Showtime |
8/1(-33%) | (1) It's Showtime 8/1, Fourth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes turf debut. Blinkers back on. Still yet to win but running respectably and certainly bred to take to turf (from the family of Cheveley Park winner Tiggy Wiggy). Maiden who's gone the wrong way since handicapping; needs to improve on switch to turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (10/1 +60%) Tres Chic |
10/1(+60%) | (9) Tres Chic 10/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 14/1) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Win last autumn came at 8.2f (soft) and been as far as 1m4f; this is rather different. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/2 -56%) Forever Eighteen |
7/2(-56%) | (2) Forever Eighteen 7/2, Creditable third of 9 in handicap (again well-backed at 10/3) at Newcastle (6f) on return 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could build on that. Rather drawn away from the action on his Tapeta return and is entitled to improve; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (12/1 -20%) Smooth Silesie |
12/1(-20%) | (4) Smooth Silesie 12/1, Winner at Lingfield in February. Fifth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 9 days ago. Generally consistent on the AW this year but over 5f; fully exposed anyway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (8/1 +27%) Lady Twilight |
8/1(+27%) | (5) Lady Twilight 8/1, Well held in 6f/7f minor event/maidens. Handicap debut. This is more realistic but couldn't be considered unless the market spoke firmly her way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (16/1 +36%) Birkie Boy |
16/1(+36%) | (8) Birkie Boy 16/1, Winner at Brighton in October. 33/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Poor the last twice. Another ordinary effort last time, back from a short break, leaves him hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (10/1 -67%) Forgotten Treasure |
10/1(-67%) | (6) Forgotten Treasure 10/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 10/1) 18 days ago, not much room. Pulled hard the only time she's gone without a hood, a worry round here on slow ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (66/1 -32%) Majolica |
66/1(-32%) | (10) Majolica 66/1, Poor maiden. 50/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 18 days ago. String of poor efforts (6f-1m); no appeal under a jockey taking his first ride under rules. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
FOREVER EIGHTEEN was a good third on his return at Newcastle, despite being beaten three lengths, and dropped back in trip with a prime draw in stall nine, he has to have a decent chance with Alex Jary's claim in the saddle a bonus. Anglesey Lad looks capable of mounting a strong challenge after finishing fourth on his first run in six months, while Lady Twilight is one to watch in the market ahead of her handicap debut for the Moores.
ANGLESEY LAD has plenty of dash and could open his account dropped in trip after an encouraging comeback at Wolverhampton. It's Showtime and Forever Eighteen are a couple of the other likely players.
Forever Eighteen is respected but the draw is no issue this time for MONKEY MISS, whose dam won on soft going, and she's preferred.

1st (1) (16/1 -146%) Bright Stripes |
16/1(-146%) | (1) Bright Stripes 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. 22½ lengths last of 8 to Battle Cry in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial (6/1)on reappearance (7.1f, heavy) 29 days ago. Hard to fancy after that. Beaten 22l by Samuel Colt on return at Leopardstown and obvious questions to answer now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (13/2 -95%) Norwalk Havoc |
13/2(-95%) | (3) Norwalk Havoc 13/2, Won Leopardstown maiden (8f, heavy) and Gowran conditions race (7f, heavy) last month. Capable of better again and can make his mark at this higher level. Won a 7f Gowran conditions race last time; further improvement likely and can run well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/11 +37%) Samuel Colt |
4/11(+37%) | (4) Samuel Colt 4/11, Promising individual. Course winner on debut last autumn. 4/1, ½-length second of 8 to Battle Cry in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial (7.1f, heavy) on return 29 days ago, clear of rest. The one to beat. Maiden winner here; runner-up in a Group 3 at Leopardstown over 7f on return; one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (6/1 +40%) Ecureuil Secret |
6/1(+40%) | (2) Ecureuil Secret 6/1, Won 11-runner maiden (15/2) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) on debut 29 days ago, responding well. Useful prospect. Made a stylish winning debut over this trip at Leopardstown; can have improved from that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (80/1 -60%) Elegant Madame |
80/1(-60%) | (5) Elegant Madame 80/1, Thrice-raced winner. 5/2, fourth of 7 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis. Previously held at this level and is rated only 75, so has plenty to find on stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained SAMUEL COLT should appreciate this easier assignment having run really well when runner-up in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on his reappearance. The form of his two-year-old maiden win at this venue last October has been well advertised subsequently. Bright Stripes finished a long way behind Samuel Colt in that aforementioned Leopardstown race but that was almost certainly not his true running. Andy Oliver's colt had some very smart form in decent company as a juvenile, so is worth another chance to prove himself. Norwalk Havoc needs to improve on what he has done to date but the Jessica Harrington-trained gelding won't be easily passed if getting to the front early on.
Aidan O'Brien took this last year with Paddington en route to Group 1 glory and SAMUEL COLT looks yet another smart prospect for the Ballydoyle handler after his encouraging second in a Leopardstown Group 3 last month. Norwalk Havoc looks a 3-y-o of some potential himself and is the obvious danger.
SAMUEL COLT can go one better than on his seasonal debut when runner-up in a Leopardstown Group 3.

1st (4) (9/4 +18%) Brummell |
9/4(+18%) | (4) Brummell 9/4, Made a winning nursery debut at Southwell in November. Good second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 5/1) 20 days ago, no match for winner butn seeing off the rest easily enough. Huge danger if he's as effective on turf. Two good runs in AW handicaps since gelded, including 2nd last time (6f); contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/2 -17%) Willolarupi |
7/2(-17%) | (2) Willolarupi 7/2, Improved on 2-y-o form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft, 6/1) 12 days ago, running on. Blinkers may sharpen him up. Fair juvenile; creditable 4th last month; conditions suit; headgear tried; not well drawn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (14/1 -27%) Ticktyboo |
14/1(-27%) | (1) Ticktyboo 14/1, Last of 16 in nursery (66/1) at York (6f, good to firm). Off 8 months and this much more his level Quite useful form on first 2 runs; highly tried after; first 5f run; perhaps best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7/1 +22%) Queens Road Revue |
7/1(+22%) | (8) Queens Road Revue 7/1, Third-place finish over C&D in July flanked by lesser efforts, fifth of 7 in maiden (17/2) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Makes handicap debut and she's unexposed. Best run last term when 3rd over C&D (soft); off since July; chance on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (5/1 +17%) Vintage Love |
5/1(+17%) | (6) Vintage Love 5/1, Runner-up from 2 lb higher mark at Leicester in October. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 10 days ago and now tries 5f for the first time with yard in good order. Placed on all four starts on turf, including on soft; bit to prove on first run at 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (12/1 -33%) La La Lucrative |
12/1(-33%) | (7) La La Lucrative 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, third of 5 in novice event at Catterick (5f, heavy). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut for yard among the winners. Fair efforts over 5f on soft/heavy last season; stable going well; chance on h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (11/1 -47%) Mecca's Duchess |
11/1(-47%) | (3) Mecca's Duchess 11/1, Bit below form fifth of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f), running on. Off 6 months and may find things happening too quickly over 5f. 0-7; has run well over C&D and on soft ground; may improve for the run after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (40/1 -82%) Our Neil |
40/1(-82%) | (10) Our Neil 40/1, Hooded for first time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 52 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and she needs to up her game. Well beaten over C&D on debut on her only turf start; ordinary efforts on AW since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 -264%) Malibu Sunrise |
40/1(-264%) | (9) Malibu Sunrise 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in maiden (14/1) at Chester (5.1f, good), not knocked about. Off 10 months and open to progress now handicapping. Fair sixth at Chester on final start in 2023; handicap debut; others look stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (12/1 +14%) Crooked Crown |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Crooked Crown 12/1, Maiden winner on third start in June but form levelled off after seventh of 8 in nursery at Bath (5.7f, soft). Off 7 months and first run for yard after leaving Rod Millman. Ex-Rod Millman; 5f maiden winner on good to firm; below par on soft; stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BRUMMELL was second to a reliable yardstick on the all-weather last month and, given that performance created the impression there is plenty for trainer Julie Camacho to work with, the son of Dandy Man appears a solid option off the same mark here. Willolarupi also ran well on his return to action on similar ground conditions at Catterick 12 days ago and is notable off 1lb lower. The betting can guide as far as seasonal debutants Mecca's Duchess and La La Lucrative are concerned.
Assuming he's as effective on turf, BRUMMELL has a lot in his favour given he arrives on the back of an excellent runner-up effort from this mark. Blinkers may help Willolarupi and he's the chief threat, though Vintage Love represents a yard in good order and has De Sousa in the saddle.
Preference is for the well drawn QUEENS ROAD REVUE who handles conditions and is on a fair mark for her handicap debut.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (16/5 +42%) Gilded Water |
16/5(+42%) | (6) Gilded Water 16/5, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 16/1) on debut 18 days ago. Should improve. Needs to have come on markedly but his Wood Ditton run showed significant ability. |

4th (11) (3/1 -100%) Usuario Amigo |
3/1(-100%) | (11) Usuario Amigo 3/1, Promising sort. Third of 12 in maiden (80/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 20 days ago, running on. Likely to improve and looks the one to beat. 80-1, close 3rd of 12 in Newmarket maiden (7f, good) three weeks ago; fine chance in this. |

13/2(-86%) | (7) Hutchence 13/2, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f, 9/4). Off 144 days. More required. Fair form on second start but likely to come into his own over further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (16/1 +0%) Quiet Sea |
16/1(+0%) | (2) Quiet Sea 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 22/1 and hooded for 1st time, tenth of 15 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f). Off 11 months. Second of five at Ascot (1m2f, soft) last May but well behind at Chelmsford (AW) in June. |

7th (3) (22/1 -83%) Anhydrous |
22/1(-83%) | (3) Anhydrous 22/1, Almanzor gelding. Closely related to Qatari 8.5f winner Samos and useful French y-o 7f winner Syros. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Cursory Glance. Wears tongue strap. Interesting newcomer. Almanzor close relation to winners Syros (French 7f 2yo; RPR 103) and Samos (Qatar 8.5f). |

8th (8) (17/2 -70%) I Can't Believe |
17/2(-70%) | (8) I Can't Believe 17/2, 130,000 gns yearling, Magna Grecia colt. Half-brother to smart winner up to 9f Royal Patronage. Dam, French 1¼m-1½m winner, closely related to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Shalapour. 130,000gns yearling; half-brother to 7f-8.5f winner Royal Patronage (RPR 115); a top yard. |

9th (13) (200/1 -100%) Post Mistress |
200/1(-100%) | (13) Post Mistress 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 14 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f). Off 144 days. Behind in two races late last year and is bred for a good deal further than this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (33/1 +0%) Big Lou |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Big Lou 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 13/2, fifth of 8 in maiden at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Modest form at Southwell (7f, AW) in September and Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) 13 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (200/1 -506%) Fortnum |
200/1(-506%) | (5) Fortnum 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in maiden at Bath (8f, good to soft, 8/1) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Beaten just over 8l at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and Bath (1m, good); bred for further. |

12th (1) (250/1 -279%) Infantryman |
250/1(-279%) | (1) Infantryman 250/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Eighth of 13 in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, good, 22/1) 11 days ago. Record in three bumpers (easily best effort on second start) suggests he is best watched. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Haya was strongly supported on her seasonal return at Bath last month and appeals with her match-fitness topped up, while similar comments apply to Big Lou and Miletus, who both have scope for progression. Nevertheless, the vote goes to GILDED WATER, who showed good speed before becoming unbalanced on his debut at Newmarket 18 days ago and, sure to be wiser, this could be a good time to side with the William Haggas-trained gelding.
USUARIO AMIGO outran huge odds to finish a promising third at Newmarket on debut and he might not need to improve all that much to get off the mark at the second attempt. Haya is a big threat if she strips fitter for her reappearance and I Can't Believe is a notable newcomer.
There was stacks of promise in USUARIO AMIGO's debut performance last month at Newmarket, whereas Haya underperformed at Bath.

1st (8) (9/2 +25%) Clararose |
9/2(+25%) | (8) Clararose 9/2, Runner-up on her final start in bumpers last season and back on track in a first-time tongue tie when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good, 9/1) 24 days ago. Should be bang there from the same mark. 0-8 but was runner-up at Fakenham last time and has claims if she can back that up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (15/2 -36%) Midnight Gold |
15/2(-36%) | (3) Midnight Gold 15/2, Belatedly off the mark in this sphere in 8-runner handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good) when last seen 11 months ago, driven clear having led last. Has clearly benefited no end from the fitting of cheekpieces and may do better still on reappearance from 6 lb higher. Back from a lengthy absence but she won last time and is respected for in-form yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 +38%) Kit's Coty |
5/1(+38%) | (1) Kit's Coty 5/1, Placed all 3 starts in Irish points (£60,000 purchase) and made it third time lucky in this sphere when landing a mares' maiden at Hereford (21.7f, soft) in January. Shaped as if amiss on handicap debut 6 weeks on at Wincanton, so needs to leave that well behind. Had an excuse on heavy last time and she could resume her progress after short break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (8/1 +68%) Our Friend Mo |
8/1(+68%) | (13) Our Friend Mo 8/1, Bettered anything she achieved over hurdles at the first attempt over fences when runner-up in handicap at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) in December. However, her form has gone the wrong way since, pulled up at Exeter the last twice. Switches back to hurdling. Pulled up over fences last twice and she's now 0-11; lots to prove back over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/2 +21%) After Many Days |
11/2(+21%) | (7) After Many Days 11/2, Didn't perform at all badly under an inexperienced amateur when fifth of 13 on handicap debut at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) and built on that when third over a similar trip at Southwell (heavy again) next time. Not so good at Hereford since, however. Disappointing latest but she's still lightly raced and has claims if she can bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/1 +36%) Annie Magic |
9/1(+36%) | (4) Annie Magic 9/1, Irish point winner who showed fairly useful form over hurdles last in 2022/23. Not as good as her form figures over fences last time round might suggest and ran poorly returned to hurdling at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft) in March. Best watched. Pulled up in three of her last five runs and she needs a major turnaround. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (16/1 +36%) Miss Ghillie |
16/1(+36%) | (14) Miss Ghillie 16/1, Failed to complete both starts in points last spring and has well held in 3 mares maiden hurdles. Makes handicap debut and market can guide expectations returning from 3 months off. Still early days and now goes handicapping off lowly mark but she needs to show a lot more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (33/1 -106%) Trump Lady |
33/1(-106%) | (5) Trump Lady 33/1, Point/novice hurdle winner who offered little on chase bow but bounced back to form when scoring at Exeter back in January 2022. Shaped as if still in good form at Wincanton 8 days later but not seen since and returns for a new stable. Watching brief advised. Well treated on old form but she returns after 831 days off and is best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (8/1 -23%) Grain Of Hope |
8/1(-23%) | (11) Grain Of Hope 8/1, Half-sister to useful hurdler Zanjabeel and has taken well to hurdling, runner-up twice before going one better at Ludlow (2m) in October. Well held sent handicapping after 13 weeks off at Cheltenham 18 days ago but this looks much more suitable stepping up in trip. Had tough task at Cheltenham and she could kick on again at this new trip; dangerous. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (100/1 -100%) Darsi's Darling |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Darsi's Darling 100/1, Modest form when third in bumper on debut and matched that level at the third attempt over hurdles, filling the same position in mares' novice at Sedgefield (19.8f) in January 2023. Showed nothing after 9 months off on handicap debut when last seen in November and so looks an easy swerve. Pulled up at big price on handicap debut in November and has plenty to prove on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (14/1 +30%) Well Vicky |
14/1(+30%) | (6) Well Vicky 14/1, Won her first 3 handicaps in 2022/23, completing a quick-fire hat-trick at Plumpton (2m) last February. Only seen twice last season (pulled up both times) so percentage call is to look elsewhere after 4 months off despite a tumbling mark. Won three in a row early last year but she's been pulled up last twice; something to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (16/1 -33%) Just Sophie |
16/1(-33%) | (2) Just Sophie 16/1, Won 19.5f Huntingdon novice hurdle last March and standout effort in 2023/24 season was when fourth of 7 at Market Rasen (23.1f, soft) in November. Headgear goes on returning from a break and that needs to spark some sort of revival. Has not gone on since her win last March and was pulled up last time; headgear now added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (18/1 -50%) Pollyonesock |
18/1(-50%) | (12) Pollyonesock 18/1, Limited form in bumpers/hurdles and low-key start for this yard on handicap bow at Ludlow. Unseated rider second on chase debut at Southwell (20.4f, good) recently and quickly reverts to timber. Things have not gone well in two handicaps for this yard and she has questions to answer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This is wide open and not too many can confidently be ruled out. However, CLARAROSE showed a bit more promise when second over 2m4f at Fakenham last month and looks worth chancing, given she is still learning her trade and runs off the same mark. Midnight Gold's Southwell success reads well in the context of this race and she rates the biggest threat to the selection off just 6lb higher. Grain Of Hope and After Many Days are just a couple of others to monitor in the betting.
CAUGHTINASPELL offered little on her 5 starts in Ireland but she's been allotted a modest mark as a result, and starting out for a yard with good record with new recruits, she's worth chancing for the in-form Olly Murphy yard. Second choice is Grain of Hope, who should appreciate this step up in trip, with Clararose and Midnight Gold taken to fight out third.
An open race in which CLARAROSE gets the vote ahead of Midnight Gold, Grain Of Hope and Kit's Coty.

Rocky's Diamond |
(6) (9/1 +0%)9/1(+0%) | (6) Rocky's Diamond 9/1, Totally different proposition on second start when winning 16-runner juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16.9f, heavy, 22/1) 17 days ago, pushed out. Significantly up in trip. May well do better. Unexposed Limerick winner, though his pursuers did grant him an easy lead. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) (8/11 +68%) Born Braver |
8/11(+68%) | (1) Born Braver 8/11, One win from 3 runs last season. 11/4, won 18-runner novice hurdle at Naas (19.3f, soft) 20 days ago, driven out. Up in trip. Progressing recently. 2m3f maiden winner last time and has the potential to improve again over this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/2 +44%) Gold In The Rivers |
5/2(+44%) | (2) Gold In The Rivers 5/2, 13/8, career best when winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) 43 days ago, forging clear. Up in trip. Booking of Millar a plus. Likely to improve, but he needs to on these terms. Didn't beat a lot at Limerick but he's a good looker with plenty more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/1 +8%) Gold Cup Bailly |
6/1(+8%) | (4) Gold Cup Bailly 6/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Ayr (31.8f, good to soft, 66/1) 16 days ago, struggling after. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. Pulled up in the Scottish National on his return from an absence; comes with risks. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/1 +45%) Joya Del Mar |
11/1(+45%) | (7) Joya Del Mar 11/1, Eighth of 13 in novice hurdle (13/2) at Clonmel (18.9f, heavy) 81 days ago. Up in trip and though task, even if bouncing back. Second in a maiden here at Christmas; looks a bit outclassed on these terms. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LOOK TO THE WEST struggled at Grade 1 level on her most recent outing at Fairyhouse in March but her previous third in a Grade 3 contest suggests that she could be hard to beat here. Gold In The Rivers had plenty in hand when getting off the mark at Limerick last time and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Born Braver and Rocky's Diamond.
LOOK TO THE WEST fared about as well as could be expected in Graded company after making a winning Rules debut and back down in class, she'll take some stopping. Born Braver is the obvious threat on form, though Gold In The Rivers and Rocky's Diamond are open to progress.
It's hard to get away from LOOK TO THE WEST who takes a huge drop in class after chasing home Jade De Grugy in her last two races.

Dam lightly-raced sister to smart winner up to 10.7f Jackaroo. Sixth of 9 in minor event at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 33/1) on debut 14 days ago. Needs a big step forward.

25/1(-178%) | (3) Majestic Heights 25/1, Twice-raced colt. 5/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Windsor (5.1f, good) 21 days ago. Much more needed. Modest RPRs in both outings; needs to improve a good deal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Trainer Clive Cox has won two of the three runnings of this race and he has strong claims again with STAR ANTHEM. Beaten just a neck on his Newbury debut despite being carried right, he should be wiser now and could well make amends for that loss here. Siegen is possibly the best of the Richard Hannon pair with Pat Dobbs in the saddle and, as a son of Blue Point out of an Exceed and Excel mare, he is bred for speed. Red Sand could follow them home.
STAR ANTHEM showed more than enough when second on debut at Newbury recently to suggest he'll be winning sooner rather than later, and this looks a good opening. Siegen, in particular, and Red Sand are the interesting newcomers.
The clear form pick is Newbury runner-up STAR ANTHEM. Interesting newcomers Siegen and Red Sand look the biggest dangers.

1st (2) (11/8 +31%) Ryan's Rocket |
11/8(+31%) | (2) Ryan's Rocket 11/8, £110,000 Irish point winner who has made a bright start over hurdles, pulling clear with one verging on useful at Taunton (2m) in December before going one better 3 months on there, landing the odds from a subsequent winner. More to come. Beat a subsequent winner comfortably last time; improving and respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7/2 +13%) Mirabad |
7/2(+13%) | (1) Mirabad 7/2, Has made a good start over hurdles, building on Wetherby run (when well backed) when landing bare 2m Wincanton novice a fortnight ago. Should progress further judged on his useful Flat ability. Smart Flat ability and enjoyed the good ground to win nicely at Wincanton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/4 -46%) Excelero |
7/4(-46%) | (3) Excelero 7/4, Chased home Salver at Warwick on debut then Sir Gino at Cheltenham (fourth) before making the most of a good opportunity back down in grade at Market Rasen, still looking raw (pulled hard in front in hood and jumped left but scored easily). Looks useful. Nice runs behind top-notchers Salver and Sir Gino before winning easily at Market Rasen. |

4th (8) (100/1 -100%) Pooch |
100/1(-100%) | (8) Pooch 100/1, Well held in course bumper and Taunton junior hurdle (not knocked about) for Anthony Charlton. Didn't show much for previous yard, in a bumper here and 4yo hurdle at Taunton. |

6th (4) (25/1 -56%) Roger |
25/1(-56%) | (4) Roger 25/1, Failed to set the world alight on the Flat in Slovakia but he was a runaway winner on hurdles debut for new connections at Stratford (19f, heavy) in March. Struggled in stronger race at Cheltenham since and this doesn't look much easier down in trip. Surprise Stratford winner but then tailed off at Cheltenham only recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (100/1 -300%) Lucky San Jore |
100/1(-300%) | (5) Lucky San Jore 100/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 9.5f), respectable effort final start for Marco Botti in October. 1 of 2 runners for yard and may need more time. Dual AW winner for Marco Botti and could make a hurdler for respected new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Mirabad and Ryan's Rocket both won last time out and may well have more to offer as they gain in experience, but they have to give 6lb to EXCELERO, whose form may turn out to be the best on offer. His fourth to Sir Gino at Cheltenham in January looks even better with the winner taking the Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree since, and he followed that with an easy success at Market Rasen which will have boosted his confidence.
EXCELERO boasts some good juvenile hurdle form and could be useful as he gets to grips with racing. He can follow up his Market Rasen victory. The presence of three other previous hurdles winners give this a warm look for an early-season novice, with Ryan's Rocket feared most ahead of Mirabad.
After running well behind a couple of class acts it was no surprise to see EXCELERO win as he did at Market Rasen.

9/1(+10%) | (2) Asian Daze 9/1, C&D winner. Off 7 months. Returns with yard in good form and wouldn't dismiss under 10 lb claimer. Won a Gowran maiden before a C&D nursery score last year; below form on AW after; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/3 -11%) Sluice |
10/3(-11%) | (1) Sluice 10/3, Won at Down Royal on debut in September. 10/1, third of 12 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) on return 43 days ago. That form looks strong and she can do better still. Maiden winner last year ran respectably in a Group 3 after; not a bad return and a player. |

25/1(-79%) | (4) Glamorously 25/1, Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 28/1) 7 days ago. Won sprint nurseries at Navan and Naas last season but not as good in two recent starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Madrid Handicap third SLUICE could prove well treated off just a 1lb higher mark. The runner-up in that Naas contest has won subsequently, while the fourth has been placed in both Listed and Group 3 races. Meeting nothing of that calibre here, Joseph O'Brien's filly can give the weight away. Pepper Noir made a pleasing turf debut when fifth against her elders over course and distance last month. The Gavin Cromwell-trained filly should be suited to a race restricted to her own sex and age group. Glimmerglass catches the eye towards the foot of the weights, as the maiden in which the John Feane-trained filly finished seventh here last back-end has been well franked in recent weeks.
MADAME PLAINTIFF ran out a ready winner on her handicap debut at Gowran a fortnight ago and even a 9 lb rise could prove lenient. She can follow up. Sluice and Asian Daze are two of the dangers.
Having run a fine race behind a well-handicapped rival in the Madrid Handicap on return, SLUICE can show the benefit of that.

1st (3) (9/4 +10%) Princess Alex |
9/4(+10%) | (3) Princess Alex 9/4, Much improved when opening her account in a Pontefract maiden (5f) in July. Exploits proved mixed thereafter in 2023 but fitter with her reappearance under her belt when making all at Haydock last week. Big player up 5 lb. Made all to win at Haydock last time (soft); up 5lb; well drawn; should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3/1 +50%) Puella Law |
3/1(+50%) | (4) Puella Law 3/1, Similar form in a quartet of 2-y-o outings, creditable third of 12 in novice event at Newcastle (7.1f), clear of rest. Off 174 days and makes handicap debut for successful yard. Sound efforts last term, including 2nd over C&D; on a fair mark for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (8/1 -129%) Kindest Nation |
8/1(-129%) | (5) Kindest Nation 8/1, Built on debut run when landing 10-runner maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 9/2) 41 days ago, digging deep. Makes handicap/turf debut and there should be more to come. Unexposed sort who won a Southwell maiden on latest start; interesting on turf/h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/1 +25%) Mysteryofthesands |
9/1(+25%) | (6) Mysteryofthesands 9/1, Shaped well when third on last month's reappearance. Not in the same form when fifth of 12 in maiden at Thirsk (7f, heavy, 20/1) 16 days ago but likely has a bigger performance in him now handicapping. Three fair runs over 7f/1m but not obviously well treated on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (17/2 -21%) Midnite Runner |
17/2(-21%) | (1) Midnite Runner 17/2, Novice winner on second start at Thirsk in September. Upped in grade and could manage fifteenth of 22 only in sales event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm). Off 7 months. Back up in trip. Makes handicap debut from a stiff-looking mark. Thirsk novice winner over 7f in September; first run on soft; a possible on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (28/1 -40%) Alfie Boy |
28/1(-40%) | (9) Alfie Boy 28/1, Allotted a stiff mark on the back of his qualifying runs and finished last of 6 in nursery (25/1) at York (7f, soft). Off 7 months (has been gelded). Didn't show a great deal last season; improvement needed on first run since being gelded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (18/1 -125%) Korroor |
18/1(-125%) | (7) Korroor 18/1, Career best when winning 11-runner nursery (3/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) on final start for Archie Watson. Up 8 lb back on turf but he's joined another good yard. Won AW handicap for A Watson on final run in 2023; sold 17,000gns since; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (7/1 -8%) Buttercross Flyer |
7/1(-8%) | (8) Buttercross Flyer 7/1, Good third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/1) 10 days ago. Can make presence felt with that promising reappearance her belt. Won 7f AW nursery last term; just as effective on turf; sound AW run latest; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (16/1 -14%) Bazball |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Bazball 16/1, Triple winner in a busy 2-y-o campaign. Blinkered for first time when last of 7 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 27 days ago and usual visor quickly back on. Three wins over 5f as 2yo; stays 7f; well below par on AW last twice; has a bit to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (25/1 -79%) Cassanos Lad |
25/1(-79%) | (10) Cassanos Lad 25/1, Cheekpieces on for first time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. Visor back on and needs to prove himself on turf. Third in 6f Wolverhampton handicap in February; well beaten on turf debut; bit to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Kindest Nation won with a good deal in hand at Southwell in March and makes her turf/handicap debut from a competitive rating, so has to be high on the shortlist. However, PRINCESS ALEX kept on to score in an eye-catching manner at Haydock nine days ago and a 5lb higher mark could still underestimate this daughter of Dark Angel. Mysteryofthesands, who is a potential improver, completes the shortlist.
PRINCESS ALEX left her reappearance form trailing in her wake when a dominant winner at Haydock last week and a 5 lb rise may not prevent further success. Both Mysteryofthesands and Korroor appeal as likely improvers and head the opposition.
The vote goes to PUELLA LAW (nap), who showed plenty of ability last season including when runner-up over this C&D on her debut.

1st (3) (10/11 +67%) Galyx |
10/11(+67%) | (3) Galyx 10/11, Calyx colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¾m-2m winner Eden Rose and 1m/8.3f winner Hundred Isles. Dam 2-y-o 6f-1m winner who stayed 1½m. Promising sort. 25/1, sixth of 17 in maiden at Newbury (8f, good) on debut 16 days ago. Should progress. Respected on Newbury debut form and a much more prominent finish is probably on its way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (17/2 +66%) A Major Payne |
17/2(+66%) | (2) A Major Payne 17/2, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) on debut 18 days ago. Needs a big step forward. 66-1, about 14l seventh at Newmarket (1m, good); unseated rider before and slowly away. |

3rd (10) (15/2 +81%) Anglepoise |
15/2(+81%) | (10) Anglepoise 15/2, Zoustar filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 11f-12.3f winner Sextant and useful winner up to 1¼m Maths Prize. Dam 11.6f winner. 33/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (8f) on debut 33 days ago, very slowly away. Should improve. Well related but 33-1, slowly away and green when behind at Kempton (1m, AW) 33 days ago. |

4th (8) (20/1 +20%) Paradoxical |
20/1(+20%) | (8) Paradoxical 20/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, twelfth of 17 in maiden at Newbury (8f, good) 16 days ago. Better effort on debut, but still more needed. Soundly beaten on reappearance but not entirely dismissed given debut effort as 2yo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (50/1 +24%) Letmebetheboss |
50/1(+24%) | (5) Letmebetheboss 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f), hampered. Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Tom Dascombe. Hard to make a case for. Two heavy defeats for Tom Dascombe last year; has since had wind and gelding operations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (10/1 +17%) Geliceaux |
10/1(+17%) | (12) Geliceaux 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in minor event (12/1) at Newmarket (7f, heavy). Off 6 months. Hooded for 1st time. Better effort as 2yo was here (1m, good) on debut; hooded today; market may guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (125/1 -89%) Hot Patootie |
125/1(-89%) | (13) Hot Patootie 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW, 250/1) 32 days ago. Needs a big step forward. Didn't show much on AW at Chelmsford (7f; 50-1) in March or Lingfield (1m; 250-1). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (7/2 -180%) Normandy Legend |
7/2(-180%) | (7) Normandy Legend 7/2, Promising type. Much better effort when second of 11 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 20/1) 33 days ago. The one to beat. Second at Kempton (1m, AW) on return; can do better and none in this field has shown more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (125/1 -89%) Killarney Lake |
125/1(-89%) | (4) Killarney Lake 125/1, 3,000 gns foal, Le Brivido gelding. Dam, 11.6f-16.5f winner, half-sister to 1½m-2m winner Ermyn Lodge and winner up to 1m Major Art (both useful). Wears cheekpieces. 3,000gns foal, by Le Brivido; fourth foal; dam 11.4f turf and 2m AW winner (RPR 95). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (150/1 +0%) Cosmos Artist |
150/1(+0%) | (11) Cosmos Artist 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 400/1, unseated rider in maiden at this course (10f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Last on debut and hard to make a case for. No show at Newbury and reared as the stalls opened (unseated) when 400-1 at this track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (16/1 -60%) Achernar |
16/1(-60%) | (1) Achernar 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (8f) 33 days ago, slowly away. Tongue tied when showing some ability in two 1m AW races this year; may need further. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
With an appealing pedigree and two runs on the all-weather under his belt, VIBRATO is a logical choice as he debuts on turf at a winnable level. The son of No Nay Never was second to a progressive type at Southwell when last seen and another step forward could suffice here. Normandy Legend is an obvious threat after his Kempton second last month, while Galyx and A Major Payne are other appealing types now they have some experience to draw upon.
NORMANDY LEGEND sets a clear standard and is still open to improvement, so he's very much the one to beat. Vibrato and once-raced Galyx can fight out second spot.
The form standard they set is not that high but calculations seem to be dominated by GALYX, Normandy Legend and Vibrato.

1st (4) (3/1 +33%) Get Sky High |
3/1(+33%) | (4) Get Sky High 3/1, Point/bumper winner who showed plenty to work on sent hurdling after 19 months off when third of 14 in a maiden at Hereford (16.2f, soft) in November 2022. Off further 17 months and may have needed the run on last month's return. This will reveal more. Point/bumper winner but she didn't fire after another long absence at Chepstow last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (16/1 +0%) Dame Sarra |
16/1(+0%) | (10) Dame Sarra 16/1, Modest handicapper on Flat, stays 1¾m, respectable effort last time. Has left Ed Dunlop ahead of this hurdles debut with blinkers left off. Two AW wins for Ed Dunlop; had wind op in March and market should guide on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (40/1 -100%) Red Panda |
40/1(-100%) | (7) Red Panda 40/1, Sir Percy filly who offered little in a brace of bumpers. Hood on now hurdling. In rear in both bumpers and needs to do a lot better on this switch to hurdling; hood on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/2 +25%) Hot Fizzy Lizzy |
9/2(+25%) | (5) Hot Fizzy Lizzy 9/2, Fair bumper winner who wasn't seen to best effect when well held on her hurdling debut here in October, badly hampered 3 out and not given at all a hard time after. Promise at Stratford the following month too and she represents an excellent yard. Bumper winner who showed promise in her last hurdle run; in the mix on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (40/1 -21%) Take A Hike |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Take A Hike 40/1, Runner-up both completed starts in Irish points but minor promise only on last March's hurdles debut. Runner-up in two Irish points but she made a low-key start over hurdles in March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (80/1 +20%) Misting |
80/1(+20%) | (6) Misting 80/1, Little promise in bumpers to end 2023. Tailed off in both bumpers and she needs a transformation on this switch to hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (20/1 +39%) Apples Moon |
20/1(+39%) | (1) Apples Moon 20/1, From the family of very smart hurdler/chaser (2m-2¾m winner) Finian's Oscar. Has looked a work in progress in bumper/both hurdles outings. Well held in all three runs including when 50-1 on hurdling debut last month; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (8/11 -18%) Avakate |
8/11(-18%) | (2) Avakate 8/11, Off the mark at the second attempt in Irish bumpers for Andy Slattery and improved again when seeing off Listentoyourheart and 11 others in a listed contest on debut for new connections at Doncaster in December. Just fifth at Market Rasen since but a hurdles newcomer of serious interest. 2-4 in bumpers and the last win was in a Listed race; strong contender on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (200/1 -100%) Darquesse |
200/1(-100%) | (3) Darquesse 200/1, Looks very limited on early evidence. Tailed off in a bumper and pulled up massive prices in all three hurdle runs. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
AVAKATE has shown stacks of promise in bumpers, both on these shores and in Ireland, and is introduced to hurdling at a very realistic level. The Alan King-trained gelding is readily suggested as the most notable contender, although there should be more to come from Dan Skelton stablemates Hot Fizzy Lizzy and Get Sky High, especially the former who showed ability at Stratford when last seen and can be fancied to take a step forward here.
AVAKATE was talented enough to win twice in bumpers, and kept to her own sex now hurdling, this looks a very good opportunity. Dan Skelton is responsible for Get Sky High and Hot Fizzy Lizzy and they appear to be the chief threats.
The most striking contender is Alan King's AVAKATE, who won a Listed bumper in December and could have a bright future over hurdles.

1st (9) (9/4 -13%) Magic Tricks |
9/4(-13%) | (9) Magic Tricks 9/4, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle here in November. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, heavy, 66/1) 52 days ago. Makes chase debut and he'll be very tough to beat if back on his game. By far the best of these over hurdles, winning valuable handicap here in November. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (6/1 +57%) Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa |
6/1(+57%) | (7) Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa 6/1, Fair chaser. Fourth of 7 in novice chase (14/1) at Punchestown (22.8f, heavy) 78 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell. Not shamed in good company in first two runs over fences despite hanging left; yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (28/1 +15%) Clifftop |
28/1(+15%) | (4) Clifftop 28/1, Fair hurdler. 9/1, creditable fifth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Makes chase debut. Flat winner but maiden over hurdles (rated 105); best watched on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7/1 +30%) Carnfunnock |
7/1(+30%) | (3) Carnfunnock 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (21.4f, soft) 17 days ago. Makes chase debut. Capable hurdler (rated 122) although ran poorly last twice in Scotland; chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (20/1 +20%) Largy Shark |
20/1(+20%) | (8) Largy Shark 20/1, Fair hurdler. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Haydock (18.9f, soft) 47 days ago, pulled up soon after. Makes chase debut. Dual winner as novice over hurdles but out of form in that discipline lately; chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (10/1 -82%) Sportinthepark |
10/1(-82%) | (12) Sportinthepark 10/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 35 days ago. Makes chase debut. Cost plenty after finishing second in point; 120-rated hurdler interesting on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (9/2 -80%) Ottoman Style |
9/2(-80%) | (10) Ottoman Style 9/2, Promising sort. Useful winner at 22f over hurdles. Fourth of 10 in novice chase (25/1) at Fairyhouse (16.5f, heavy) on debut over fences 164 days ago. Expected to be bang there with step up in trip very much in his favour. Fourth in good race at Fairyhouse on chase debut and stepping back up in trip will help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (16/1 +0%) An Peann Dearg |
16/1(+0%) | (1) An Peann Dearg 16/1, Fifth of 18 in novice hurdle (5/2) at Thurles (15.9f, heavy) 51 days ago (fourth past the post but subsequently demoted). Makes chase debut. Up in trip. Hooded for 1st time. Just fair form over hurdles including remote third in maiden here; keen sort now hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (15/2 +25%) Skippin Court |
15/2(+25%) | (11) Skippin Court 15/2, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (16.7f, heavy, 16/1) 36 days ago, pulled up. Needs to cut out the errors. Ran well off 118 in Leopardstown handicap at Christmas; good claimer booked and stays 2m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (125/1 +17%) Aurea Fortuna |
125/1(+17%) | (2) Aurea Fortuna 125/1, Ninth of 19 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 32 days ago. Makes chase debut. Up in trip. Made no impression in three maiden hurdles; chase debut and bred to do well in this sphere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (16/1 -78%) Fathom Two |
16/1(-78%) | (6) Fathom Two 16/1, Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, soft, 8/1) 171 days ago, no response. Makes chase debut. Point winner never out of first three in five visits to Downpatrick last year; chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (18/1 -13%) Evesham Road |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Evesham Road 18/1, Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Last of 8 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Cork (20f, heavy) 121 days ago. Makes chase debut for excellent yard. Well held over hurdles during the winter after landing Clonmel maiden last May; chase bow. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MAGIC TRICKS may have pulled up in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival but the fact he contested that race suggests a big chasing debut could be on the cards in this company, as does his Listed hurdle victory at this venue in November. Gordon Elliott's gelding looks the one to beat, although Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa's experience over fences could count for a lot and he must be respected. Fathom Two is no forlorn hope on his chasing debut for Gavin Cromwell.
MAGIC TRICKS was never a factor in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham when last seen in March but he's a classy recruit to chasing and given the yard he represents, is sure to be well prepared for this. This step back up in trip is sure to suit Ottoman Style and he is the obvious threat.
A course winner over hurdles, OTTOMAN STYLE ran well against useful opposition on chase debut and stepping back up in trip will suit

1st (4) (15/2 -7%) Under Curfew |
15/2(-7%) | (4) Under Curfew 15/2, C&D winner. Thirty-four runs since last win in 2021. Wasn't disgraced after 7 months off when fifth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Shaped fairly on comeback; maybe faster ground would have been optimal but he's respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/8 +59%) Joy Choi |
11/8(+59%) | (2) Joy Choi 11/8, Ran well after 8 months off despite meeting trouble in running when second of 13 in handicap at this course (5.7f, soft, 33/1) 8 days ago, running on. One to bear in mind with that under her belt. Unlucky not to go closer still at a big price here last weekend; on the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/1 -29%) Sisters In The Sky |
9/1(-29%) | (6) Sisters In The Sky 9/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 8/1) 13 days ago. Has to be taken seriously from this much-reduced mark back on turf. Having a first crack at 5f since his 2yo days and others hold stronger claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4/1 +60%) Symbol Of Hope |
4/1(+60%) | (3) Symbol Of Hope 4/1, 3-time C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form on first outing since leaving Grace Harris after 6 months off when seventh of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to build on that, though. Won the last two runnings of this off the same mark; decent chance of the hat-trick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (22/1 -38%) Liberty Bay |
22/1(-38%) | (9) Liberty Bay 22/1, Thirty-two runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, wasn't seen to best effect after 10 weeks off when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 26 days ago. Others look stronger. Winless since her 3yo days and is very limited now; will do well to lead from this stall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (15/2 +53%) Autumn Angel |
15/2(+53%) | (5) Autumn Angel 15/2, Course winner. Ran poorly when last of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (6f) 3 weeks ago. Bounce back needed. First start at 5f since last spring (C&D); conditions are fine but she'll want a good test. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (12/1 -33%) We're Reunited |
12/1(-33%) | (8) We're Reunited 12/1, C&D winner. 11/1, looked rusty after 6 months off when fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 26 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Three-time course winner who might have been better drawn for one happiest in front. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 -220%) Viewfromthestars |
16/1(-220%) | (7) Viewfromthestars 16/1, 4/1 and visored for 1st time, finally got off the mark in 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 25 days ago, suited by way race developed. Looks an unlikely sort to follow up, however. The first-time visor did the trick last time; now needs to back that up back on turf. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Viewfromthestars was all out to win at Chelmsford last time and a 2lb rise may be enough to stop the son of Starspangledbanner from following up. He can go close along with the consistent Joy Choi, who has finished in the top three in each of her last five starts, but a chance is taken on WE'RE REUNITED. His two wins on turf were both here, one over this trip and both off higher marks, and he looks all set for another big run.
SISTERS IN THE SKY struggled from marks in the 60s on turf last year but she's tumbled down the weights over winter so gets the nod to regain the winning thread dropped back to the minimum trip at the expense of Joy Choi, who should come on appreciably from her recent course return. Profit And Loss had made a solid start for George Baker so completes the shortlist.
Everything looks set for SYMBOL OF HOPE (nap), who's fancied to complete a hat-trick in this race. Joy Choi is second choice.

1st (5) (10/11 +64%) Ideal Des Bordes |
10/11(+64%) | (5) Ideal Des Bordes 10/11, Won his sole start in points and shaped promisingly behind a pair of subsequent winners in a Warwick bumper in May 2023. Placed first 2 starts over hurdles but may well have been amiss given how quickly he folded at Exeter. Since had a breathing operation. Placed in two Ascot maidens before pulled up at Exeter; had wind op since. |

2nd (2) (11/4 -150%) Fasol |
11/4(-150%) | (2) Fasol 11/4, Very useful winning stayer on Flat in France for Christope Ferland. Changed hands for €155,000 and posted an encouraging fourth of 16 in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, soft) in January, going with enthusiasm. Can take a sizeable step forward upped in trip. Newbury run was disappointing given Flat ability but it's still very early days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (8/1 +43%) Gentleman's Relish |
8/1(+43%) | (3) Gentleman's Relish 8/1, Much improved when winning 13-runner Newbury bumper in November. Very disappointing start to his hurdles career, pulled up on each occasion but he's in the right hands to bounce back His only effort of note was when making all in a Newbury bumper on good to soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/2 -29%) Isocrate |
9/2(-29%) | (6) Isocrate 9/2, Ex-pointer who found only one too good last 2 hurdles starts, failing to land the odds but finding a promising one too good at Exeter. Up in trip. Up to winning a race of this nature after near misses at Sandown and Exeter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (80/1 -400%) Jukebox Fury |
80/1(-400%) | (8) Jukebox Fury 80/1, Related to several winners but little to shout about in 2 starts. Pulled up and tailed off in maidens at Doncaster (soft) and Market Rasen (good to soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (66/1 -164%) Honey Jack |
66/1(-164%) | (4) Honey Jack 66/1, Has scope but has shown little all 3 starts to date. Fairly forgettable so far in a bumper and two hurdles, the latest races on heavy and good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (28/1 -180%) Big Cheese |
28/1(-180%) | (1) Big Cheese 28/1, Fair 1¾m Flat winner for Ed Bethell. Didn't have a cut at his obstacles and finished well held on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. Capable Flat handicapper at an ordinary level; tailed off on hurdle debut at Fakenham. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (125/1 -89%) Jasper Boy |
125/1(-89%) | (7) Jasper Boy 125/1, £17,000 Kapgarde gelding. Half-brother to French hurdler/chase winner Celtic Dream. Shaped like a stayer in his bumper on the AW in December but never travelled with any purpose on hurdles debut. Cheekpieces on upped in trip. Midfield in an AW bumper and then pulled up in an Ascot maiden for which he was 150-1. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Isocrate has the form in the book having finished second on his last two starts, when beaten a head at Sandown and two lengths at Exeter over shorter. He looks all set for a big run over this trip, but may be outclassed by FASOL. Group class on the Flat in France, Paul Nicholls' gelding was fourth at Newbury over two miles on his hurdling debut but ought to be far happier upped in distance. Ideal Des Bordes is another who could get involved after his wind surgery.
FASOL stayed well on the level, which augurs well for this step up in tripp and sure to step up on his opening hurdles run, he should take some stopping, Ideal des Bordes has had a breathing of after stopping quickly at Exeter, and if that procedure has worked, he's the obvious threat.
It's best to forgive and forget Exeter last time and IDEAL DES BORDES had previously shaped very nicely on two visits to Ascot.

1st (3) (16/1 -129%) Gregarina |
16/1(-129%) | (3) Gregarina 16/1, Useful mare. 5½ lengths seventh of 16 to Al Agaila in listed race (55/10) at Deauville (7.4f). Off 159 days. First run for yard after leaving Fabrice Chappet. Wears hood. Listed winner and Group 3 second over 1m at Deauville, 7f may be sharper than ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (17/2 -21%) You Send Me |
17/2(-21%) | (8) You Send Me 17/2, Lightly-raced winner. 11/4, respectable 3½ lengths fourth of 9 to Easy in listed race at Cork (6f, heavy) 37 days ago. Others more persuasive. Useful 1m form at three, should be better for first outing of the season over 6f at Cork. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/2 +18%) Doom |
9/2(+18%) | (2) Doom 9/2, Useful filly. Career best when winning 17-runner listed race at Fontainebleau (7f, soft, 33/10) when last seen in November. Could be more to come at 4 yrs. Respected British raider. 7f Listed winner in France at three, needs to improve to feature here but that is feasible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 -60%) Magical Sunset |
12/1(-60%) | (1) Magical Sunset 12/1, Useful filly. First run since leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis when below form 8¾ lengths fifth of 10 to Brilliant in Park Express Stakes (16/1) at this course (8f, heavy) 49 days ago. Group 3 winner in Britain, vulnerable at 1m, respected back in trip after Curragh run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/4 +45%) Jumbly |
6/4(+45%) | (4) Jumbly 6/4, Useful mare. 7/4, shaped as if better for run when 2¾ lengths second of 6 to Yosemite Valley in Gladness Stakes on C&D reappearance (heavy) 15 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Yet to win for this stable but has a good chance now if improving from seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (12/1 +33%) Wide With Delight |
12/1(+33%) | (10) Wide With Delight 12/1, Won 10-runner maiden at Cork (7f, heavy, 20/1) on debut 37 days ago, cosily. Trainer going well. Should progress. Beat an 82-rated filly at Cork, faces sharp rise in class against experienced older rivals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (8/1 +6%) Bluedrum |
8/1(+6%) | (9) Bluedrum 8/1, 6/1, won 9-runner maiden at Naas (7f, good to soft) on debut, forging clear. Off 7 months. Capable of better but pitched in at deep end on reappearance. Debut 7f maiden winner, faces several seasoned campaigners, will need to be smart. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (9/1 -20%) Vain Gloria |
9/1(-20%) | (6) Vain Gloria 9/1, Won Killarney maiden and conditions race at Cork (both 8f) last July. More will be needed to stretch her unbeaten record to 3 but she looks a useful prospect. Unbeaten in two starts over 1m at three, given plenty of time to mature, could progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (40/1 -344%) Valpolicella |
40/1(-344%) | (7) Valpolicella 40/1, Useful mare. 13/4, 4½ lengths seventh of 12 to La Gite in Premio Lydia Tesio at Rome (9.9f, good). Off 6 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Henk Grewe. Can make presence felt. Former German-trained mare, Listed winner over 1m2f on good, trip may be a bit sharp. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (100/1 -100%) Purple Love |
100/1(-100%) | (5) Purple Love 100/1, Lightly-raced winner. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 6/1). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Very hard to make a case for. 79-rated stablemate of the 104-rated Musical Sunset, looks out of her depth on Irish debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Although she would most likely prefer a sounder surface, JUMBLY shaped well enough when runner-up on soft-heavy ground here on her reappearance to suggest she can go one better now. With the benefit of that run under her belt, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly should strip fitter, while the ground is probably not going to be as stamina-sapping. The Fozzy Stack-trained You Send Me reverts to what is arguably her optimum distance having raced over both 6f and a mile of late. The four-year-old should have no difficulty coping with ground conditions. As well as Jumbly, trainer Joseph O'Brien looks to have a particularly strong hand with Gregarina and Valpolicella also capable of featuring.
JUMBLY should be sharper with her reappearance in the Gladness behind her and can resume winning ways under Ryan Moore. Her new stablemate Valpolicella, a listed winner in Germany, may give her most to do ahead of the William Haggas-trained Doom and Paddy Twomey's unbeaten filly Vain Gloria.
Ryan Moore takes the ride on JUMBLY who started the season with a pleasing C&D second and can record her first win for Joseph O'Brien

1st (12) (14/1 -17%) Powdering |
14/1(-17%) | (12) Powdering 14/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 14/1, creditable third of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 23 days ago. High draw is a worry for all she's a player on form. 7f AW winner last month (also a 1m turf winner); acts on soft; wide draw not ideal.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (22/1 -38%) Inanna |
22/1(-38%) | (11) Inanna 22/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving S. P. C. Woods when 5¼ lengths last of 9 to Laura's Breeze in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 53 days ago. Something to find on form. Ex-Sean Woods; only win came on debut in 2022; not beaten far last time; more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (3/1 -20%) Do I Dream |
3/1(-20%) | (6) Do I Dream 3/1, Won at Ripon last month before producing a career best to follow up in a 9-runner handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy, 5/4) 4 days later. Has to be taken seriously. Bids for a hat-trick after wins at Ripon and Pontefract last month; major player again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (28/1 -133%) Strangerontheshore |
28/1(-133%) | (7) Strangerontheshore 28/1, Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, won 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f, 11/1). Reasonably consistent for one at this level and is respected after 7 months off. Has a good record fresh and could go well, but 7f and soft ground not ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 -211%) Ardbraccan |
7/1(-211%) | (2) Ardbraccan 7/1, Took advantage of a reduced mark when winning 12-runner handicap (9/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 16 days ago. Still looks on a good mark but high draw is a concern. First win for a while over 1m on heavy last time; up 6lb; another good run likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (28/1 -12%) Shandy Star |
28/1(-12%) | (3) Shandy Star 28/1, Failed to come on for return when last of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Has won 3 times, latest in 2022; good 2nd in November (7f, heavy) but disappointing since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (5/2 +69%) Hostelry |
5/2(+69%) | (1) Hostelry 5/2, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Thirsk in April. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 9 to Do I Dream in handicap at Ripon (8f, heavy, 13/2) 18 days ago. Respected. Easy Thirsk win and a close third at Ripon this season (1m, heavy); should go well again.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (6/1 +50%) Willow Baby |
6/1(+50%) | (13) Willow Baby 6/1, Respectable third of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Doncaster (6f, soft) 9 days ago, despite going without much fluency. Back up in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. 0-9; shaped as though return to 7f would suit when running-on third over 6f last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (80/1 -100%) Princess Niyla |
80/1(-100%) | (5) Princess Niyla 80/1, First run since leaving Hugo Palmer when last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, soft) 10 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to fancy. Winner for Hugo Palmer last term but became disappointing; well beaten on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (18/1 +10%) Laura's Breeze |
18/1(+10%) | (8) Laura's Breeze 18/1, Successful over 7f for Ed Dunlop in November and stepped up on yard debut effort when winning 9-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 5/1). Creditable sixth of 15 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 38 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Both wins over 7f on the AW, latest in March; effective on turf; soft ground a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (80/1 -142%) Clipsham Gold |
80/1(-142%) | (10) Clipsham Gold 80/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 44 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Down in trip. Ex-Dylan Cunha; not at her best in two runs for new yard and others have stronger claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (7/1 +7%) Gentle Ellen |
7/1(+7%) | (4) Gentle Ellen 7/1, Latest win at Hamilton in October. Good second of 14 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D (heavy) final start, clear of rest. Off 6 months. Wouldn't dismiss on return. Progressive on soft/heavy in October, winning over 6f and 2nd over 7f; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (12/1 +0%) Dandy's Angel |
12/1(+0%) | (9) Dandy's Angel 12/1, Five-time course winner. 16/1, probably needed run when fourth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Place claims if sharper this time. Five-time course winner, all over 1m2f, latest on heavy ground; today's trip is a concern. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ARDBRACCAN appeared to be revitalised by the combination of a 189-day layoff and a return to turf when scoring in ready fashion at Nottingham last month. A 6lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable for Mick Appleby's mare and she's taken to follow up. The biggest threat may emerge from the hat-trick seeking Do I Dream, who is sure to prove popular in her current heart, while fellow in-form rivals Hostelry and Willow Baby aren't easily discounted either.
DO I DREAM looks up to completing the hat-trick from a mark only 2 lb higher than when winning at Pontefract. Ardbraccan remains well treated on her best form and can't be ruled out despite a less-than-ideal draw, whith Gentle Ellen also respected on return.
The 7yo HOSTELRY, who won so easily at Thirsk on her reappearance, is taken to reverse Ripon form with Do I Dream.

1st (5) (7/2 +13%) Lucentio |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Lucentio 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 6/1) 13 days ago, not knocked about. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Back to form on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f) last time; now has cheekpieces too. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/1 -200%) Free Speech |
9/1(-200%) | (3) Free Speech 9/1, 11/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 19 days ago, never nearer. Step back up in trip looks ideal and she's an obvious player. Needs to improve markedly on her turf form (two runs) but has been competitive on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/3 -67%) College Choir |
10/3(-67%) | (1) College Choir 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in minor event (33/1) at Kempton (12f) 75 days ago. Going the right way and makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut. Progressed markedly from lowly starting point in three AW races early 2024; blinkers off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/10 +84%) Tipsy Tiger |
11/10(+84%) | (4) Tipsy Tiger 11/10, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good sixth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces when making most on return; headgear is now off and he looks bred to stay 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/1 -214%) Memories Maker |
11/1(-214%) | (2) Memories Maker 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) 9 days ago. Likely to do better still and should be competitive. 7l second of seven to easy winner at Doncaster (1m4f, soft) on recent handicap/turf debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Memories Maker was beaten seven lengths into second in this grade on his handicap bow last time and he should remain competitive off the same mark. However, COLLEGE CHOIR looks the way to go. William Haggas' representative put in her best performance when hitting the frame at Kempton in February and she now makes her handicap debut off a mark of 70. The daughter of Nathaniel is bred to be a lot better than her rating and she could be the one to beat. Free Speech completes the shortlist.
COLLEGE CHOIR is gradually getting the hang of things and she's bred to be better than an opening mark of 70, so she takes narrow preference over Free Speech, who should benefit from the step back up in trip. Memories Maker is another one to be interested in.
Major improvement in the course of her three AW qualifying races earns COLLEGE CHOIR the vote on this handicap and turf debut.

1st (5) (8/11 +27%) Irish Lullaby |
8/11(+27%) | (5) Irish Lullaby 8/11, Useful stayer on Flat for Jessica Harrington. Bought for 65,000 gns in December and shaped with plenty of encouragement sent hurdling in a first-time hood at Market Rasen (2m) 5 weeks ago. Looks sure to improve and hard to look past here. Useful triple Flat winner who was a promising third on hurdling/stable debut; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/1 -43%) Irish Chorus |
10/1(-43%) | (4) Irish Chorus 10/1, Just modest form at best in 3 bumper outings and given a considerate introduction to hurdling on the back of 3 months off/a wind op at Kempton (2m) 7 weeks ago (Cher Tara behind). Should have more to offer. Encouraging start over hurdles at Kempton and has each-way claims if she can build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6/1 -33%) Idylle Sauvage |
6/1(-33%) | (3) Idylle Sauvage 6/1, Irish point winner who improved on second start over hurdles in similar event over further at Haydock 5 weeks ago. Can do better again. Irish point winner who wasn't beaten far at Haydock last time and she's not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (22/1 -175%) The Last Drop |
22/1(-175%) | (8) The Last Drop 22/1, Modest form in bumpers, second fitted with a tongue tie on final start in Ireland. Well held starting out for this yard at Southwell last month and switches to hurdling now. Didn't shine on stable debut last month and has bit to prove on this switch to hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 +0%) Cher Tara |
12/1(+0%) | (2) Cher Tara 12/1, Caught the eye under a considerate ride at Kempton (2m) 7 weeks ago, not given at all a hard time having travelled well (also hung right in straight/lost shoe). Probably one for handicaps over further. Some promise at Kempton last time, when she had traffic issues; should have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (14/1 -133%) Barra Blue |
14/1(-133%) | (1) Barra Blue 14/1, Promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers when third on heavy ground at Huntingdon. Should have a future over jumps. Clear promise in the first of her two bumpers and she should have a future over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (7/1 +72%) Love At Sea |
7/1(+72%) | (7) Love At Sea 7/1, Winning pointer who backed that up with a good second in a Down Royal bumper on her first go under Rules in June 2022. Didn't progress though and not seen for 15 months. Makes hurdles debut with Sean Bowen up. Irish point winner but has something to prove on this hurdling debut after a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (125/1 +17%) J'ventile |
125/1(+17%) | (6) J'ventile 125/1, Little impact in bumpers/over hurdles. Didn't show a great deal in three bumpers and she's struggled in both hurdle runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (28/1 -12%) Honeybun |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Honeybun 28/1, No impact in 2 juvenile hurdles. Fell on debut in February and was tailed off at Market Rasen latest; can only be watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
IRISH LULLABY, who reached a mark of 96 on the Flat in Ireland, is a highly-notable type now he has switched codes and, having shown distinct promise on his hurdles debut at Market Rasen in late March, the son of Nathaniel is a stand out selection in this company. Open to any amount of improvement, the five-year-old could have too much for this opposition. Idylle Sauvage is feared most, although Barra Blue can be fancied to show up well despite this being her hurdles debut.
Useful Flat stayer IRISH LULLABY made an encouraging start over hurdles for new connections at Market Rasen and is hard to get away from in a thin maiden with improvement on the cards. Idylle Sauvage and Irish Chorus are dangers.
Preference is for IRISH LULLABY, who was a useful triple Flat winner in Ireland and made a promising start over hurdles in March.

10/1(+29%) | (10) Goodnightngodbless 10/1, 9/1, sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.4f, soft). Off 6 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others make more appeal. Getting long in the tooth now; well beaten the last twice over hurdles and fences. |

2nd (6) (7/2 -17%) Sweet Will |
7/2(-17%) | (6) Sweet Will 7/2, Creditable third of 9 in handicap chase (5/1) at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Makes plenty of appeal in a weak race. Rated lower over fences than hurdles and was only beaten 2l at Tramore two weeks ago. |

3rd (2) (17/2 -70%) Dorking Cock |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (3/1 +63%) Shantou Show |
3/1(+63%) | (4) Shantou Show 3/1, Lightly-raced winner in chases. Below form sixth of 10 in hunter chase at this course (24f, soft, 10/1) 132 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Noel C. Kelly. Switched to handicaps off a potentially lenient mark. Lightly raced; dual point winner and beaten under 4l by Billaway at Downpatrick last May. |

6th (7) (11/2 +31%) Temptationinmilan |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 +36%) Freewheelin Dylan |
16/1(+36%) | (1) Freewheelin Dylan 16/1, Fifteenth of 17 in minor event chase at Punchestown (24.8f, good to soft, 16/1). Off 17 months. Hard to make a case for. Famed for winning the 2021 Irish National at 150-1; that was his last win. |

Several have good chances based on peak performances, however, SWEET WILL is still relatively unexposed over fences and earns the vote based on his potential to find more now he is back beyond 3m, with ground conditions looking ideal. Favori Logique is dangerous to underestimate from the foot of the handicap, while Dorking Cock, Goodnightngodbless and Temptationinmilan all have solid each-way claims. Galon De Vauzellel (third in this last year) and Read To Return would add even more spice to the race if turned out again following their outings at Punchestown on Saturday.
SWEET WILL is very well handicapped on old form and put in one of his better efforts when third at Tramore last time, so he's fancied to land this weak event upped in distance. Dorking Cock at least arrives on the back of a solid showing, so he's a danger, while Shantou Show isn't one to rule out.
Getting back on goodish ground looks a big plus for FAVORI LOGIQUE and his penultimate effort over 3m4f was highly encouraging.

1st (3) (5/1 +9%) Moonlit Cloud |
5/1(+9%) | (3) Moonlit Cloud 5/1, C&D winner. Shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 13 in handicap (4/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Capable of getting involved from her current mark. C&D winner who was at her best this time last year; ground too fast last time; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (40/1 -264%) Carp Kid |
40/1(-264%) | (6) Carp Kid 40/1, C&D winner. Recorded back-to-back victories at Windsor and Chepstow last summer. Not discredited when sixth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (11.2f, good to firm, 18/1) in September. One to consider on reappearance. Entitled to need this at his age, back from eight months off, for a new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (9/2 +18%) Bloodhound |
9/2(+18%) | (9) Bloodhound 9/2, Took a step forward making his handicap debut when fifth of 14 at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft, 6/1) 15 days ago. Needs to find more again as he goes back up in trip. Handicap debut was better than it looked; is lightly raced and one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (15/2 -88%) Ciotog |
15/2(-88%) | (2) Ciotog 15/2, Dual course winner in 2023. Has been in good form this year, never nearer when third of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 58 days ago. Major player back at this venue. A near-miss and two wins over 1m here late last summer; hard to knock out of the equation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (15/2 +25%) Celebrating Ethel |
15/2(+25%) | (8) Celebrating Ethel 15/2, After 13 weeks off, possibly needed the run on first outing since leaving Andrew Kinirons when seventh of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good, 11/1) 3 weeks ago. Could still have more to offer at this trip. Lacked consistency in Ireland; ought to do better than on comeback if more amenable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/1 +18%) Stage Show |
9/1(+18%) | (5) Stage Show 9/1, Wasn't able to build on promise of stable/seasonal debut when fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 11/1) 18 days ago. Improvement required as he drops back down in trip. Didn't look to see out 1m5f latest following a decent comeback (both AW); each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (9/2 -35%) Afloat |
9/2(-35%) | (4) Afloat 9/2, Showed improved form on her final 2 starts last year, making it back-to-back wins in 12-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 11/10) in August. Respected as she bids for the hat-trick on her return. Finished last season on an upswing; interesting to see how she goes in the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 +60%) Gallimimus |
16/1(+60%) | (7) Gallimimus 16/1, Three-time winner for George Boughey but has offered little in 2 starts for current yard, last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 150/1) in October. Best watched after 6 months off. Poor in two runs for this yard last backend; has never run on ground slower than good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (11/2 +21%) Midsummer Music |
11/2(+21%) | (1) Midsummer Music 11/2, Again ran creditably when 1¼ lengths fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 11/2) in November (has had a wind op since). Could be thereabouts as she drops in grade. Returns from wind surgery on a workable mark; stamina would be the main concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (12/1 -60%) Hotaugustnight |
12/1(-60%) | (10) Hotaugustnight 12/1, First outing since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 3/1) 8 days ago, having run of race. Can give her running again with cheekpieces back on. Favourite over C&D last weekend, when inclined to over-race in front; cheekpieces back on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (80/1 -100%) Royal Toast |
80/1(-100%) | (11) Royal Toast 80/1, Made the frame both starts on Flat for Joseph Patrick O'Brien. However, struggled in 4 outings over hurdles for current yard and well held back on the level in maiden at Kempton (11f, 200/1) 3 weeks ago. Makes handicap bow. Poor under both codes since joining from Joseph O'Brien for 10,000gns last autumn. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Afloat recorded a double at Yarmouth when last seen in August and she makes her return to action off a 4lb higher mark, so she has to be considered. However, the vote goes to CIOTOG, who has been thereabouts in this grade the last twice and he can make the most of an unchanged mark after his close-up third at Wolverhampton last time. Midsummer Music is another to watch out for.
CIOTOG arrives in good heart having been placed on all 3 starts this year, caught further back than ideal when third at Wolverhampton last time, so he could be ready to add a third course success to his tally. The hat-trick seeking Afloat isn't taken lightly on her reappearance, with Midsummer Music completing the shortlist.
Afloat was on the upgrade when last seen, but the vote goes to BLOODHOUND, who could never get in from a wide stall (1m) latest.

1st (2) (7/2 -5%) Karl Philippe |
7/2(-5%) | (2) Karl Philippe 7/2, Useful handicap chaser who clearly stripped fitter for his recent hurdling spin and ran well back over fences when third of 11 at this C&D (good) 2 weeks ago. Should be in the shake-up if keeping errors to a minimum again. Clear of the rest when just missing out over C&D two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5/1 +17%) Unanswered Prayers |
5/1(+17%) | (8) Unanswered Prayers 5/1, Winless over fences since 2022 but he got back on track after a wind op when sixth of 12 over C&D in February. Ran to a similar level when third at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) since and he's considered eased another 2 lb. All wins over shorter but it was over 3m1f when third at Plumpton last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (6/1 +0%) Neon Moon |
6/1(+0%) | (5) Neon Moon 6/1, Strong traveller who returned better than ever to open his account over fences in handicap at Ludlow in October. Weak finishes were the primary feature of next 4 starts but resumed winning ways at Newbury (23.4f) in March. Not sure to be in the same mood, however. Newbury winner last time but overall profile questions whether he'll be as good again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/2 +61%) Killer Kane |
11/2(+61%) | (7) Killer Kane 11/2, Winless since early 2023 and has struggled in valuable handicap company on his last 3 starts (after a wind op). Headgear reapplied and could get back on track returned to Class 3 company. Has a good record over C&D and could be worth risking back on better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/1 +30%) Our Jet |
7/1(+30%) | (4) Our Jet 7/1, All the better for return when doubling his tally over fences here November. Decent placed efforts next 2 starts and shaped as if still in good form when down the field at Cheltenham last time, likely to have made the frame had he not belted the second last. Headgear off. In good form until last time; unproven over 3m but the ground may help in that respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/1 -22%) Galahad Quest |
11/1(-22%) | (6) Galahad Quest 11/1, Decisive winner of a 2½m Warwick handicap chase last February but well beaten all 3 starts this year (didn't shaped badly first 2). Down to an attractive mark but does need to keep the errors at bay to feature (has had a breathing operation). On a retreival mission but will like the ground and unexposed at 3m; had wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (4/1 -145%) Quick Draw |
4/1(-145%) | (1) Quick Draw 4/1, Scored twice over hurdles for Tom Lacey and made it 4 wins in this sphere for Nicky Henderson after 3 months off when making all at Wincanton (25.1f, soft) in February, scoring with a bit in hand. 5 lb higher here and back from a break looks the time to catch him. Big chance. On a career-high mark but he's well suited by a flat, right-handed 3m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (25/1 -150%) Magna Sam |
25/1(-150%) | (9) Magna Sam 25/1, Better than ever when making a winning start for this yard at Musselburgh (31.5f) last February. Good fifth in Scottish National at Ayr next time, but little to shout about both starts last season (in trouble a long way out in his repeat bid at former track last time). If he could stage a revival he's effective at 3m for all that he stays so well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Killer Kane could surprise here with his two C&D wins, the last of which came in February 2023 off this mark, suggesting he is in with a chance. The nine-year-old can go well if he is back to his best, but on recent form QUICK DRAW might have the edge. Four times a winner over fences including last time out at Wincanton, Nicky Henderson's gelding remains on an upward curve. Our Jet is another to consider back in more realistic company after his seventh in a better race at Cheltenham.
QUICK DRAW made it 4 wins in this sphere for Nicky Henderson at Wincanton in February and returning from another break, this could be the time to catch him again. He gets the vote ahead of Karl Philippe, who ran well back over fences when third over C&D a fortnight ago. Our Jet can edge out Unanswered Prayers for the bronze medal.
A competitive race with a few holding chances. KILLER KANE runs this C&D well and getting back on better ground is a big plus.

1st (4) (2/1 +43%) White Birch |
2/1(+43%) | (4) White Birch 2/1, Smart colt. 1 win from 1 run this year. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner Alleged Stakes on C&D reappearance (heavy, 10/3) 16 days ago by neck from Maxux, driven out. Shouldn't be much between them again. Dual Grup 3 winner, including on return over C&D; should make a very bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (20/1 -43%) Lord Massusus |
20/1(-43%) | (3) Lord Massusus 20/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Creditable length third of 6 to Goldana in listed race at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 11/2) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Beaten 1l by Goldana on return, giving her 10lb; can run well if staying this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/1 +31%) Greenland |
11/1(+31%) | (2) Greenland 11/1, Smart colt. 13½ lengths seventh of 10 to White Birch in Alleged Stakes (11/2) C&D reappearance (heavy) 16 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Very disappointing on return over C&D behind White Birch and has to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (10/3 +17%) Village Voice |
10/3(+17%) | (7) Village Voice 10/3, Smart filly. Latest win at Saint-Cloud in October. Very good ¾-length third of 10 to White Birch in Alleged Stakes (4/1) at this C&D (heavy) 16 days ago. Is 3lb better off for a 3/4l defeat by White Birch on return; be little between them today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (13/8 +51%) Maxux |
13/8(+51%) | (6) Maxux 13/8, Lightly-raced winner. Very good neck second of 10 to White Birch in Alleged Stakes on C&D reappearance (heavy) 16 days ago. Should go well. Just a neck behind White Birch over C&D on return; 3lb better off today, so a big chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Epsom Derby third WHITE BIRCH can continue his revival by adding to his recent C&D win. The John Joseph Murphy-trained colt ran below-par in the Irish Derby last July and again failed to show his true form when beaten in Group 3 class at Leopardstown on his final start. However, there was plenty to like about his winning reappearance at this track last month. Elegant Man is a fascinating contender for Adrian Murray on his first start on turf. The four-year-old put up a hugely impressive weight-carrying performance when winning at Newcastle over Easter but has yet to race on grass. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Maxux looks best of the remainder.
ELEGANT MAN produced a really smart handicap performance to defy top weight in an ultra-competitive affair at Newcastle over Easter and can take the step up to Group level in his stride if proving as effective on turf. Recent Alleged Stakes 1-2 White Birch and Maxux can give Adrian Murray's charge most to do.
MAXUX is 3lb better off with White Birch for a neck defeat in the Alleged Stakes over C&D last time and can exact revenge.

1st (4) (6/1 -9%) Original Thinker |
6/1(-9%) | (4) Original Thinker 6/1, Shaped as though needing the run when respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 10 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Expected to last longer this time. 0-12; a few creditable runs (2nd at Newcastle last June); fair comeback run; place chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/2 +30%) Mister Sox |
7/2(+30%) | (2) Mister Sox 7/2, Fitter for reappearance and bounced right back to his best when good second of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Can be competitive again. Strike-rate of 1-15; beaten a nose on soft at Doncaster last time (7f); likely candidate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/4 +18%) Swatch |
9/4(+18%) | (1) Swatch 9/4, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 5/1) 8 days ago. Carries penalty. Has to be taken seriously given he's unexposed over 1m and retains handicap scope. Improved on comeback run when winning at Bath last time; up 5lb and down in trip; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (25/1 -127%) Dr Rio |
25/1(-127%) | (8) Dr Rio 25/1, C&D winner. 9/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft) 12 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip so a better showing surely forthcoming. C&D winner on fast ground last August; disappointing for this yard; soft ground not ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (10/1 +9%) Coloane |
10/1(+9%) | (9) Coloane 10/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 6/1, first run since leaving William Jarvis when seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 10 days ago. Hood on first time and may have more to offer for this yard. Ex-William Jarvis; 0-16; may have needed the run on stable debut; better expected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/1 +21%) Gordonstoun |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Gordonstoun 11/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 17/2) 4 days ago. Tongue strap may help his finishing effort. Two wins in October 2022; lightly raced since; fair fourth at Ayr on Thursday; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (20/1 -25%) To The Bar |
20/1(-25%) | (3) To The Bar 20/1, Played up beforehand and heavy defeat when seventh of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he needs to bounce back. All three wins have been over 7f on AW; well beaten on turf last time; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (9/2 -50%) Ey Up Its Jazz |
9/2(-50%) | (5) Ey Up Its Jazz 9/2, Respectable second of 14 in handicap (3/1) at Leicester (6f, heavy) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Two wins on soft/heavy last spring; has run well in both starts this year; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (20/1 -122%) Headabovetherest |
20/1(-122%) | (7) Headabovetherest 20/1, Another fair effort when fourth of 6 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 4 days ago, no extra final 1f. Drop back in trip may therefore help. 0-11 but two fair runs on last two starts after having wind surgery; each-way chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
SWATCH justified strong support in the market when landing the spoils at Bath last week. The Time Test gelding should cope with this quick turnaround and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from completing a double. Doncaster runner-up Mister Sox was collared at the winning post on that occasion and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Ey Up Its Jazz, who should appreciate a return to this distance.
SWATCH made his second start for Alice Haynes a winning one at Bath a week ago and this low-mileage 5-y-o may well have plenty more to offer. He's selected to follow up at he chief expense of Original Thinker and Mister Sox.
With his good draw and ground conditions in his favour EY UP ITS JAZZ is fancied to get off the mark for the season.

1st (9) (4/1 -20%) Tiriac |
4/1(-20%) | (9) Tiriac 4/1, 9/4, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (6f, heavy) 9 days ago. Should be spot on now and refitting of cheekpieces is a positive, so one to consider. 0-10 in handicaps, but has often run well; should be suited by the likely conditions. |

2nd (11) (5/1 -11%) Snuggle |
5/1(-11%) | (11) Snuggle 5/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 10/1) 14 days ago, digging deep. Remains well treated on old form and can't be ruled out. Both wins have come on varying ground over C&D including last time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/1 +44%) Sergeant Pep |
5/1(+44%) | (2) Sergeant Pep 5/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 15/2) 21 days ago. Should be on the premises. Ran well on good ground over C&D last time but softer ground suits him better; a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/1 -10%) Able Kane |
11/1(-10%) | (1) Able Kane 11/1, 33/1, below form seventh of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) 9 days ago. May strip fitter for that but still has a bit to prove. 1lb below last winning mark, but appears to need an extra furlong these days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/1 -38%) Big R |
11/1(-38%) | (6) Big R 11/1, Latest win at Kempton in March. 6/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 19 days ago. Both wins on the AW and 0-6 on turf; unraced on ground softer than good to soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (10/3 +67%) Fierce |
10/3(+67%) | (8) Fierce 10/3, 7/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f). Off 7 months. Not easy to make a case for. 1-13; no problem with the likely conditions, but may need this after eight months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (13/2 +46%) Amazonian Dream |
13/2(+46%) | (3) Amazonian Dream 13/2, C&D winner. 15/2 and hooded for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) 21 days ago. Might come on for that reappearance. C&D winner on soft ground last October; should be all the better for last month's return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (22/1 -57%) Glamorous Express |
22/1(-57%) | (10) Glamorous Express 22/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 13/2) 39 days ago, slowly away. 3-9 on the AW since November, but now 11lb higher than when last on turf; more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (28/1 -300%) Stone Circle |
28/1(-300%) | (5) Stone Circle 28/1, 7/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Should give another good account. Has only raced over 5f since the summer of 2022; may find one or two too good. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
STONE CIRCLE was far from disgraced when he finished third at Yarmouth last month and he goes off the same mark here, which could make Michael Bell's gelding tough to beat. Snuggle was victorious over C&D on his latest outing and would be foolish to dismiss off 4lb higher, while Tiriac isn't out of it either after his third at Leicester.
LADY DREAMER has run well on both visits to this track (successful first occasion) and she shaped better than the result at Kempton on reappearance, so she's worth taking a chance on in an open race. Tiriac should go well with cheekpieces back on and recent C&D winner Snuggle can't be dismissed.
The vote goes to SERGEANT PEP, who ran well here three weeks ago and may be seen to even better effect on today's slower ground.

1st (1) (5/2 -100%) Fiston De Becon |
5/2(-100%) | (1) Fiston De Becon 5/2, Shaped well over fences prior go to getting off the mark in this sphere in straightforward fashion at Southwell in March before following up in a 3-runner handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good) last month. 5 lb higher mark looks workable. Has won the last two of his five chase starts and is open to more progress; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/4 +36%) In This World |
9/4(+36%) | (2) In This World 9/4, Prominent in the market after a 4-month break but disappointed when only twelfth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, good) 19 days ago. Still enough promise from his runs in the autumn to think he could still make an impact from this mark now chasing. Mixed record over hurdles but he's on a reduced mark and is not ruled out on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/2 +13%) Onewayortother |
7/2(+13%) | (4) Onewayortother 7/2, Promising effort when third in a novice hurdle behind Willmount on return but underwhelming since. Needs to bounce back over hurdles. Has had wind surgery but he needs a major upturn in form on this switch to fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/1 -175%) Isholo Du Vivien |
11/1(-175%) | (5) Isholo Du Vivien 11/1, Point winner was placed on all 3 outings in maiden/novice hurdles this winter but underwhelmed switch to a handicap at Musselburgh (19.8f, heavy, 5/2) 31 days ago. Could do better again now switched to fences. Point winner who looks a possible improver on this switch to fences; one to keep an eye on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (9/2 +36%) Gitche Gumee |
9/2(+36%) | (3) Gitche Gumee 9/2, Fairly useful winner over hurdles has seemingly been brought along gradually in 2 starts over fences so far. Cheekpieces applied for first outing since December. Still early days over fences but he needs improvement after 142 days off; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FISTON DE BECON scored in comfortable fashion to complete a double at Hereford last month and a 5lb rise for that victory looks lenient. With the Olly Murphy yard bang in form, he could prove very hard to beat, with his main threat possibly being Gitche Gumee, who sports first-time cheekpieces after his third at Doncaster off a 3lb higher mark in December. Of the remainder, Onewayortother makes the most appeal on his handicap/chase debut.
FISTON DE BECON appeals as the most solid option in his bid to bring up the hat-trick. In This World still rates as an interesting chase newcomer despite disappointing over hurdles last time, whilst point- winner Isholo du Vivien could do better now switched to chasing.
This can go to Olly Murphy's progressive chaser FISTON DE BECON, who forged clear when completing a double at Hereford.

1st (3) (9/2 -157%) Ballyphilip |
9/2(-157%) | (3) Ballyphilip 9/2, Showed little in a novice hurdle at Perth 9 months ago but has won all 4 points in 2024 (latest Apr 20) and makes most appeal as he bids to extend that streak on hunter debut. Only a 6yo and has got it together to win his last four points, easily each time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (12/1 +0%) Drumnasoo |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Drumnasoo 12/1, Flemensfirth gelding. Dam, placed in point, half-sister to bumper winner/high-class hurdler (2m winner) Go Native and fairly useful hurdler (17f winner) Killer Kane. Maiden pointer, third last time (Apr 20). Improved form in his latest point and this 5yo has time on his side. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 -75%) Bold Fury |
14/1(-75%) | (4) Bold Fury 14/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Califet gelding. Dam, maiden on Flat abroad, half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (2m winner) Zamdy Man. Wears tongue strap. Successful on last of 6 starts in points (Mar 9). Not ruled out. Front-runner; held by Ballyphilip but could improve for the fitting of new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (15/2 -36%) Big Girl Betty |
15/2(-36%) | (12) Big Girl Betty 15/2, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, second of 13 in hunter chase at Downpatrick (23.5f, good to soft) on NH debut, going with enthusiasm 11 months ago. Off mark in points at third attempt (Jan 27). One to consider. Very lightly raced but probably needs her best form yet to win this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (11/1 -57%) Victor Tango |
11/1(-57%) | (11) Victor Tango 11/1, Ocovango gelding. Dam (c127/h129) 2¼m-2¾m hurdle/chase winner. Winning pointer, every chance when fell last time (Apr 27). Unlucky last time but does have 15l to find with Ballyphilip on their clash the run before. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (6/4 +75%) Focus Point |
6/4(+75%) | (7) Focus Point 6/4, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Pulled up in hunter chase (125/1) at Aintree (21.1f, soft) 25 days ago. Good effort here the time before and expected to bounce back returning to calmer waters. Has added further point wins to his CV since finishing runner-up in this 12 months ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (150/1 -200%) Cousin Zeleznik |
150/1(-200%) | (5) Cousin Zeleznik 150/1, Maiden pointer, pulled up last time (Apr 7). Hard to fancy. Now a 10yo and this is a belated first run over regulation fences; minor point form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (12/1 +14%) Ohzark |
12/1(+14%) | (10) Ohzark 12/1, £40,000 3-y-o, Schiaparelli gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful chase winner (stayed 3½m) Up The Beat. Winning pointer, pulled up last time (Feb 18). Won a point by 30l two years ago but pulled up on his only subsequent sighting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (28/1 -133%) Hardy Buck |
28/1(-133%) | (8) Hardy Buck 28/1, Modest chaser. Fourth of 10 in hunter chase at Tramore (21.8f, good, 100/1) 14 days ago. His latest fourth at Tramore is something to build on and he's still young. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (1) (33/1 +0%) Ballinrea |
33/1(+0%) | (1) Ballinrea 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in hunter chase at Tramore (21.8f, good, 11/2) 14 days ago. Performed below expectations in two hunter chases; point winner who may do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (7/1 +7%) John The Spark |
7/1(+7%) | (9) John The Spark 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 16 in novice chase at Punchestown (24.4f, good to soft, 9/1) 6 days ago. Consistent pointer, winning three times, and beaten by a good horse in the latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (50/1 -100%) Ballymoney |
50/1(-100%) | (2) Ballymoney 50/1, Some promise in a bumper a long time ago but he's a maiden pointer who was below form last time. Others preferred. Placed in just one of his ten points and he's not the obvious answer on hunter chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BALLYPHILIP has been in outstanding form between the flags in recent months and the son of Presenting merits the utmost respect in a race of this nature. Focus Point was out of his depth in the Aintree Foxhunters' but his previous point-to-point form gives him a solid chance here. Victor Tango and Bold Fury have both chased the selection home in recent months and are others to note, while Big Girl Betty and Drumnasoo complete the shortlist.
BALLYPHILLIP is 4 from 4 between the flags this year and seems the obvious way to go. Focus Point should be back on his game, so he's feared along with Big Girl Betty.
There are some improvers lurking and BALLYPHILIP hasn't been overly pressed to win his last four points.

1st (3) (11/2 -22%) Signcastle City |
11/2(-22%) | (3) Signcastle City 11/2, Attracted support after 9 months off and duly offered something to work on having fallen in the weights when seventh of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 11/2) 11 days ago. Back on turf and this return to 1m promises to suit. Big chance. Won 6f maiden as 2yo; not far away in good 1m and 7f races last spring; down in weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/4 +63%) Lunatick |
9/4(+63%) | (2) Lunatick 9/4, 5/1, found run of good form coming to a halt when sixteenth of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy) when last seen 6 months ago. Career-low mark to work with on return. Has C&D form; best 1m handicap form suggests he can go well off this mark if tuned up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (12/1 -41%) On The Cards |
12/1(-41%) | (7) On The Cards 12/1, 11/2, failed to match previous form when sixth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 4 months ago. Makes handicap/turf debut and betting should be a decent guide. Lost out late in the 2nd of 3 AW starts (1m); open to improvement on turf/handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/1 -17%) Hat Toss |
7/1(-17%) | (1) Hat Toss 7/1, Ran poorly on first outing since leaving David Loughnane after 7 months off when last of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (7f) 3 weeks ago. Hood back on. Sole win at 7f; same mark as close 2nd over 1m (good) on latest turf start in August. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (15/2 -36%) Ring Of Light |
15/2(-36%) | (6) Ring Of Light 15/2, Completed AW hat-trick in late-2022. 11/1, shaped as if retaining ability after 17 months off when fifth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 3 weeks ago. Entitled to strip fitter for that here. Ended 2022 with an AW hat-trick at 7f/1m; missed last year; better for recent return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (66/1 -136%) Mawada |
66/1(-136%) | (8) Mawada 66/1, Fair on the Flat up to 1m for Richard Fahey but offered little making hurdling bow at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 6 months ago. Has since left Sheila Lewis and can only be watched returned to the level. Placed all 3 starts at about 7f as 2yo; lightly raced and well held since; new trainer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (40/1 -122%) Secret Strength |
40/1(-122%) | (5) Secret Strength 40/1, Offered little on first outing for 7 months/since leaving Jim Boyle when last of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on. Three wins at 5f and 7f; never sighted on debut for new yard; lots to prove at 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (2/1 -33%) Fleurir |
2/1(-33%) | (4) Fleurir 2/1, 8/13, didn't need to improve to get off the mark with ease in 9-runner maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) when last seen 9 months ago. Enters calculations on just her second handicap outing for a top yard. Consistent at 1m in 2023; entitled to be involved but off since July so fitness an unknown. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Fleurir shed her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking at Pontefract in July last year and, if she has improved over the winter, then she could get involved on her handicap bow. However, preference is for RING OF LIGHT, who made his return from a layoff to finish fifth at Windsor in this grade and he remains on the same mark. He recorded an all-weather hat-trick before that and, with that run under his belt, he could be ready to strike. On The Cards is another to consider.
FLEURIR didn't need to advance her form when getting off the mark at Pontefract last September and this looks a good opportunity for Roger Varian's 4-y-o to follow up starting her 2024 campaign. Second choice is Signcastle City, who offered something to work on at Chelmsford recently having fallen in the weights during the second half of last year, with Ring of Light rounding off the shortlist.
This can go to LUNATICK, who divided smart sorts on his reappearance last year, with Signcastle City the main danger.

1st (9) (11/2 +61%) Halifax |
11/2(+61%) | (9) Halifax 11/2, Bagged third success for current yard at Bangor (23f) last September. Bounced back from some lesser efforts when respectable sixth of 14 at Chepstow (3m, good) 10 days ago. Nicely handicapped if he can build on that. Likes good ground, on a fair mark and latest run was a step in the right direction. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (3/1 +25%) Island Run |
3/1(+25%) | (6) Island Run 3/1, Dual winner over hurdles and second in this race off an identical mark last year. Been chasing since, with last month's Huntingdon third showing he arrives in form. Considered. Good and bad in five chase starts since finishing runner-up in this race 12 months ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (5/1 +0%) Redbridge Rambler |
5/1(+0%) | (8) Redbridge Rambler 5/1, Suited by the step up to 3m when opening his account in 13-runner Ascot handicap in March. Unexposed as stayer and a 7lb rise looks manageable. Effectively on the same mark for his Ascot win; inconsistency is a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/2 +15%) Art Of Diplomacy |
11/2(+15%) | (1) Art Of Diplomacy 11/2, Fair Flat winner who won 3 times over hurdles for Dr Richard Newland, leaving that stable after taking a Wetherby seller in March. On a competitive mark back in a handicap. Capable handicapper at this trip but it was a seller he won on return from an absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -150%) Tzarmix |
25/1(-150%) | (3) Tzarmix 25/1, Ended his time with Sam Thomas with a 3m Chepstow novice win last March. No significant impact in a novice and handicap for new yard in the autumn and needs to get back to his best after a break. Lightly raced novice winner; ran okay in November but will need more again here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (8/1 +33%) San Pedro |
8/1(+33%) | (7) San Pedro 8/1, Came good for this yard with small-field wins at Plumpton (25f) this year. Shaped better than result there 3 weeks ago and treated as if still in form. Looks on a harsh mark after two Plumpton wins this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (14/1 -17%) Foxinthebox |
14/1(-17%) | (10) Foxinthebox 14/1, Won a 25f Huntingdon maiden in May 2022 but hasn't been seen since. Leading yard has stuck with him but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations after such a long spell on the sidelines. Unexposed maiden winner who might be on a fair mark but he's been a long-time absent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (14/1 -17%) Kepagge |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Kepagge 14/1, Won twice over hurdles last spring. Struggled over fences in more recent times but has handicapping scope if a return to hurdles sparks him back to life. Should appreciate returning to hurdles but his best form has been over shorter distances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (22/1 -100%) Honneur D'ajonc |
22/1(-100%) | (2) Honneur D'ajonc 22/1, Multiple hurdles winner who also scored over fences in January 2023. Has drawn a blank since but his mark has edged down as a result and has shown enough back hurdling lately to think he's in reasonable form. Lost his way over fences and beaten 12l and 18l back over hurdles the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (7/1 +0%) Getalead |
7/1(+0%) | (5) Getalead 7/1, Added to his tally with pair of small-field victories in September 2022. Has drawn a blank since but his recent Wincanton fourth was respectable and his mark continues to fall. Signs more encouraging last time after a wind op; probably stays this longer trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although Art Of Diplomacy won with ease in selling company at Wetherby in March, the eight-year-old returns to handicap company off a stiff-looking mark. With that in mind, it could be worth sticking with last-time-out Ascot scorer REDBRIDGE RAMBLER. A 7lb higher rating for Martin Keighley's gelding looks far from insurmountable and a double could be on the cards. Market support for handicap debutant Foxinthebox, who is returning from a 714-day absence, would bring him into calculations too.
REDBRIDGE RAMBLER came good on his first attempt around 3m at Ascot last time and might be able to cope with a 7 lb rise. Island Run arrives in reasonable form from chasing and is taken to repeat last year's second place in this. San Pedro completes the shortlist.
The 8yo GETALEAD hasn't had many chances over this far and it was an encouraging effort last time in a higher grade.

1st (1) (33/1 -65%) Orandi |
33/1(-65%) | (1) Orandi 33/1, 16/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 26 days ago, missing break. Uphill task. Five-time winner in France, only one of his four Irish runs provides any encouragement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (14) (20/1 +39%) Shawaamekh |
20/1(+39%) | (14) Shawaamekh 20/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, sixteenth of 19 in handicap at this course (5.9f, heavy). Off 6 months. Veteran can go well when fresh, that gives him a realistic chance, best at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (18) (20/1 +20%) Arch Enemy |
20/1(+20%) | (18) Arch Enemy 20/1, Course winner. 14/1, respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) on reappearance 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. All three turf wins on good ground though not a bad run on soft at Gowran 13 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (15) (14/1 -87%) Alessia Fernanda |
14/1(-87%) | (15) Alessia Fernanda 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in maiden (7/1) at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft). Off 10 months. Makes handicap debut. Much less exposed than most of these. Lightly raced filly, possibly well enough handicapped but may need a sound surface. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (33/1 +18%) Loingseoir |
33/1(+18%) | (6) Loingseoir 33/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourteenth of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 50/1) 15 days ago. Consistent last year without winning, has been a long way below his best this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (4/1 +33%) Come On The Lads |
4/1(+33%) | (5) Come On The Lads 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 23 in maiden (13/2) at this course (8f, heavy) 16 days ago, never nearer. Less exposed than a lot of these. Not a bad effort when fifth in a maiden here last time, though that was not a strong race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (15/2 -88%) El Bello |
15/2(-88%) | (3) El Bello 15/2, Unreliable individual. Latest win at Dundalk in April. 28/1, very good second of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Can give a good account. Second of 25 behind Zephron over C&D last month makes him a very strong contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (9/1 -29%) Superior Force |
9/1(-29%) | (10) Superior Force 9/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, bit below form tenth of 23 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 49 days ago but had been placed twice on AW prior to that. Capable of bouncing back. Good placed form at Dundalk before a slightly disappointing run over 1m here in March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (9/1 -29%) Racing Royalty |
9/1(-29%) | (9) Racing Royalty 9/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 9/2) on reappearance 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Respected with that behind him. Two wins last autumn including C&D, may improve enough from seasonal debut to feature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (12/1 -118%) Mogwli |
12/1(-118%) | (11) Mogwli 12/1, Course winner. Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 13/2) 26 days ago. Yard having good spell. Looks competitive on form. Needs to improve on two Leopardstown runs, started the season well with second over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (16) (150/1 -127%) Rochester Mike |
150/1(-127%) | (16) Rochester Mike 150/1, 80/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when twentieth of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Runner-up to Paddington in a maiden here two seasons ago, has failed to build on that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (33/1 -32%) Encosta |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Encosta 33/1, Eighteenth of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 14/1) on reappearance 15 days ago. Should be sharper now. Placed form in handicaps at Leopardstown (twice) last July, probably wants better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (20) (14/1 -40%) Rattletheonionbag |
14/1(-40%) | (20) Rattletheonionbag 14/1, 20/1, bit below form ninth of 27 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy) 15 days ago. Booking of Kennedy a plus. Two 6f outings at this venue this season have been encouraging, more needed though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (9/1 +18%) Zabeir |
9/1(+18%) | (2) Zabeir 9/1, Fifteenth of 22 in handicap (20/1) at this course (8f, good). Off 8 months. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Is 0-12 on turf, third at this venue on two occasions last season, needs to find extra. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (12) (150/1 -127%) Takeachancejimmy |
150/1(-127%) | (12) Takeachancejimmy 150/1, Course winner. Twenty first of 22 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 100/1). Off 6 months. Seven-time winner, in rear over C&D on only start last season, best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (17) (10/1 +60%) Rock Etoile |
10/1(+60%) | (17) Rock Etoile 10/1, Below form eleventh of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 14/1) on reappearance 29 days ago. Should come on for the run. Consistent last season, 2-25 turf record is not good enough to inspire strong confidence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (13) (11/2 +27%) Secret Magician |
11/2(+27%) | (13) Secret Magician 11/2, Course winner. Below form thirteenth of 21 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy, 9/2) 16 days ago. Had shaped well on reappearance prior to that. Both wins have come over 6f at this venue; shaped well at Cork before poor 6f run here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (19) (28/1 +15%) Shimmerz |
28/1(+15%) | (19) Shimmerz 28/1, C&D winner. 66/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 166 days. Significantly back down in trip. Must improve. Long-priced winner of this race 12 months ago, that seems to have been a flash in the pan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (4) (50/1 -100%) Rhythm King |
50/1(-100%) | (4) Rhythm King 50/1, 16/1, last of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Soundly beaten on final two starts in 2023, has suffered the same fate twice this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (7) (125/1 -150%) Out On Friday |
125/1(-150%) | (7) Out On Friday 125/1, Last of 15 in handicap (40/1) at Galway (8.3f, heavy). Off 6 months. Won at Tramore last September; out of form in latter stages of the campaign. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
C&D winner RACING ROYALTY should have every chance of adding to his win here last October. The Gillian Scott-trained five-year-old travelled well throughout that contest before keeping on strongly once challenged close home. The five-year-old should be all the better for a recent run at Leopardstown where he finished fifth. Secret Magician, who was ahead of Racing Royalty over 6f here last season, has every chance despite being slightly worse off at the revised weights. The Martin Hassett-trained gelding should be approaching peak fitness after two previous starts this term. El Bello, runner-up over this track and trip last month, is another who holds leading claims.
SUPERIOR FORCE has been given a bit of time since his below-par run here in March (found to be coughing post race) and might be worth another chance as his AW efforts prior to that had been promising. El Bello ran a blinder over C&D last month and is second choice ahead of Racing Royalty and the unexposed Come On The Lads.
This looks open but it may be worth taking a chance with C&D winner RACING ROYALTY who should be better for a Leopardstown run.

12/1(+14%) | (9) Josiebond 12/1, C&D winner. Last of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (8.1f). Off 6 months. Best watched on return. C&D winner off 3lb higher last June; form dipped later in 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (15/2 -25%) Sunny Orange |
15/2(-25%) | (4) Sunny Orange 15/2, Probably needed the run when sixth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft, 28/1) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Regressive sort but the drop to Class 6 may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (12/1 +64%) Run Simba |
12/1(+64%) | (6) Run Simba 12/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 66/1) 10 days ago. Yet to offer much for current yard and is passed over again. Could well revive back on turf; interesting off a handy mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (25/1 -150%) Rose'aid |
25/1(-150%) | (2) Rose'aid 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 25/1) 27 days ago. Makes turf debut. Needs to bounce back. Has a turf pedigree; may improve on debut in this sphere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (125/1 -213%) Missmimi |
125/1(-213%) | (12) Missmimi 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap (150/1) at Ripon (8f, good to firm), slowly away. Off 8 months. Yet to show any ability. Achieved little last year; had wind surgery since last run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (33/1 -136%) Moush |
33/1(-136%) | (5) Moush 33/1, 28/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to recapture the pick of form last year's form to figure. Maiden; possibilities if he takes well to first-time headgear. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
SHE'S GOT BOTTLE went in by just under a length over a mile at Pontefract last week and she only has a 5lb penalty to carry, which is unlikely to be enough to prevent her from following up. The main threat might be Calcutta Dream, who was successful at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and is only 2lb higher, while Distinction competes off his last winning mark and is another to note.
Little depth to a contest in which SHE'S GOT BOTTLE looks more than capable of defying the penalty acquired from last week's Pontefract success. Distinction was behind Calcutta Dream at Wolverhampton last time but benefits from a more favourable draw here and is narrowly preferred for second out of the pair.
The vote goes to SHE'S GOT BOTTLE, who posted a career-best performance last week. Second choice is Dougies Dream.

1st (11) (2/1 +50%) Calm Waters |
2/1(+50%) | (11) Calm Waters 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, first run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when very good second of 12 in C&D handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Shortlist material. Same mark as when close second for new yard on handicap/turf debut over C&D (good to soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (4/1 -14%) Theworldsnotenough |
4/1(-14%) | (9) Theworldsnotenough 4/1, Career best when winning 12-runner C&D handicap (good to firm, 15/2) 14 days ago. Only nudged up 1 lb so has to enter calculations again. Led final 1f for a short-head win in 12-runner handicap over C&D (good) on reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6/1 +25%) Waistcoat |
6/1(+25%) | (3) Waistcoat 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 17 in maiden (66/1) at Newbury (1m, good) 16 days ago, hampered. Makes handicap debut. Beaten at least 10l in all three races; the market may well guide on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (11/1 -83%) Interestnpenalties |
11/1(-83%) | (10) Interestnpenalties 11/1, Improved to win 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f, 13/2) 13 days ago. Had form on turf in Ireland. Should remain competitive up 3 lb. 1m is plausible judged on his 7f AW win at Wolverhampton on latest outing; back up 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (10/3 +33%) Magnificent Match |
10/3(+33%) | (8) Magnificent Match 10/3, Winner at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in April. 16/5, creditable second of 9 back there (1m, good) 6 days ago, running on. Player off same mark. 1st and 2nd over 1m at Yarmouth last month; had a piece of form on good to soft last June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (25/1 +0%) Masonbrook Meadow |
25/1(+0%) | (5) Masonbrook Meadow 25/1, Fair form at best in Ireland, Below-form sixth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Dundalk (6f) 31 days ago. Significantly back up in trip on first run for new yard. Ten-race maiden for Danny Murphy in Ireland; second in a claimer (7f, AW) three starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (28/1 -250%) Soldier's Class |
28/1(-250%) | (2) Soldier's Class 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, last of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6f) 65 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut with Hollie Doyle booked. Should have more to offer. Promising fourth (7f, AW) on debut in February has been followed by two lesser efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (33/1 -136%) Scottish Breeze |
33/1(-136%) | (6) Scottish Breeze 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (1m) 33 days ago. Plenty from the stable improve in handicaps. One to note in the betting. 7th of 11 at Wolverhampton (9.4f) on second start appears clear best form after three runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (18/1 +10%) Maxim De Winter |
18/1(+10%) | (7) Maxim De Winter 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, last of 5 in handicap at Kempton (12f) on handicap debut/reappearance 33 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Dropped right out when last of five on handicap/AW debut (1m4f); lacks solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (28/1 -250%) Juan Solo |
28/1(-250%) | (1) Juan Solo 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 6 in handicap (7/1) at Kempton (1m) in January. Off since. Third in all three of his AW outings, in a six-runner handicap over 1m on latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
THEWORLDSNOTENOUGH put her three underwhelming efforts in maiden company last year behind her when scoring by a short head over this track and trip last month. Tom Ward's filly could have more to offer on only her fifth career start and she may be the one to beat. Juan Solo wasn't beaten far into third at Kempton in January and he has to be considered off a 1lb lower mark on his return to turf, while Magnificent Match only found one too good when bidding for a Yarmouth double recently and holds an obvious chance.
CALM WATERS came clear of the remainder when second over C&D last week and can go one better off the same mark. Magnificent Match has done well in similar company at Yarmouth in recent weeks and is second choice ahead of last-time-out C&D scorer Theworldsnotenough. Soldier's Class is one of a few potential improvers in the line-up.
Last week's runner-up CALM WATERS is preferred to Theworldsnotenough, Magnificent Match and Interestnpenalties.

1st (6) (4/1 -45%) Trapista |
4/1(-45%) | (6) Trapista 4/1, Had been proving expensive to follow in this sphere, but capitalised on her reduced mark when winning a novice event at Hereford (16f, soft) last month. Scored with plenty in hand so she's not taken lightly back up in trip. Cashed in on a reduced mark at Taunton and he's strongly respected back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/2 -5%) God's Own Getaway |
7/2(-5%) | (2) God's Own Getaway 7/2, Low-mileage 6-y-o who returned to form over hurdles when third at Market Rasen in March. Built on that effort when making a successful chasing debut in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good) 13 days ago. Respected. Beat a clear second when scoring on his chase debut at Southwell; big player again up 6lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (11/2 +73%) Miltiades |
11/2(+73%) | (7) Miltiades 11/2, Off the mark at Ludlow in December and ran at least as well when second at Taunton (23f, good to soft) later the same month. However, in first-time tongue strap he was tailed off at Leicester when last seen in January. His form slumped at Leicester in January and has bit to prove again on his return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (17/2 -6%) Will Sting |
17/2(-6%) | (4) Will Sting 17/2, Mixed record in 2023/24, but backed up his previous runner-up effort when third at Southwell (20.4f, good) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's capable of getting involved if on a going day. 1-9 over fences and was 9l behind God's Own Getaway at Southwell last time; work to do. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (8/1 -100%) American Gerry |
8/1(-100%) | (5) American Gerry 8/1, Successful twice over hurdles in 2021/22 and, with headgear reapplied, overcame positional bias when getting back to winning ways in handicap chase at Taunton (21.7f, good) 12 days ago. Remains on a workable mark. Got off the mark over fences at Taunton last time; up 4lb but he should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (8/1 -7%) Stroll On By |
8/1(-7%) | (3) Stroll On By 8/1, Quickly developed into a better chaser than hurdler, getting off the mark in novice handicap at Exeter (17.5f, soft) in October. Below form at Sedgefield on his latest outing, but it remains early days for him in this sphere. Still has potential as a chaser but he needs to kick on again after another break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (10/3 +17%) Dream In The Park |
10/3(+17%) | (1) Dream In The Park 10/3, After a disappointing start over fences, showed much more like his winning hurdles form when fourth in handicap chase at Ascot (21f, good to soft) in March, short of room before the last. Major player with more still to offer. Unexposed chaser who was only beaten around 4l at Ascot in March; in the mix. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
God's Own Getaway did what was required of him in this grade when scoring at Southwell last time and he is likely to be on the premises once again off a 6lb higher rating. However, he could come out second best to TRAPISTA, who may have been worth more for his victory than the winning margin suggests over 2m at Hereford last month and an 8lb rise might not be enough to halt him. The seven-year-old should have no issues with this longer trip and he looks the one to beat. Last-time-out winner American Gerry completes the shortlist.
Twice a winner over hurdles, DREAM IN THE PARK ran to a similar level on his third start over fences when fourth at Ascot in March, despite having met trouble, so he is taken to open his chase account with improvement to come. Trapista returned to winning ways on her latest outing and is feared most, ahead of American Gerry.
6yo GOD'S OWN GETAWAY won on his chase debut at Southwell last month and he gets the vote ahead of recent Taunton winner Trapista.

14/1(+44%) | (8) Marlacoo 14/1, €1,250 3-y-o, Wings of Eagles gelding. Dam unraced. Cheap purchase who wouldn't make much appeal unless the market spoke in his favour. Cheaply bought as 3yo; looks the least likely of local yard's three runners. |

6th (1) (18/1 -13%) Bonnebosq |
18/1(-13%) | (1) Bonnebosq 18/1, Castle Du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including smart hurdler Camprond and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France Berjou, stays 25f. Pulled up sole start in points (Apr 27). Wears cheekpieces. Nice pedigree; 4-1 for recent point, jumped poorly before being pulled up; headgear. |

12/1(+40%) | (11) Parkgarve 12/1, Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/smart hurdler Slade Steel. Bred to be capable in this sphere, so worth monitoring in the betting. Half-brother to bumper and smart 2m-2m4f hurdle winner (inc Supreme Novices') Slade Steel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (22/1 +33%) Mulroy Bay |
22/1(+33%) | (9) Mulroy Bay 22/1, Sandmason gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Starzov, stays 25f. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2¼m-3¼m winner) Nudge And Nurdle. Half-brother to 2m/2m5f hurdle winner Starzov; best watched unless fancied. |

10th (5) (11/2 +0%) Inoue |
11/2(+0%) | (5) Inoue 11/2, €28,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Fellow Mag and Bois Sans Soif. Good French pedigree and was only 16-5 for bumper at Kelso last month which was voided. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (14/1 -17%) Feeling Game Ball |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Feeling Game Ball 14/1, Snow Sky gelding. Dam unraced. Not much to go on pedigree wise but stable has a solid record in this sphere. Snow Sky gelding is first foal of an unraced daughter of Gamut; yard respected in bumpers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (100/1 -52%) Donegal Star |
100/1(-52%) | (14) Donegal Star 100/1, Idaho filly. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler (stayed 23f) Underdefloorboards. Not an obvious sort on paper. Got loose and was withdrawn here ahead of intended Flat debut last summer; best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
With virtually no form to go on, the betting market could prove the best guide here but a bold bid is expected from BOWENSONFIRE. Representing the powerful Gordon Elliott stable, he cost 88,000 euros as a three-year-old and he is a half-brother to a bumper winner. Others to seriously consider are Inoue, who cost 28,000 euros and is a half-brother to three French winners, and the Gavin Comwell-trained Tonaghneave Well, who is a half-brother to six winners. 35,000-euros purchase Kanpai is also respected.
BOWENSONFIRE represents a top yard and is related to a bumper winner, so he looks the way to go without the market to guide. Tonaghneave and Inoue also make plenty of appeal on paper.
A guessing game but POLEPATRICK represents respected connections and his half-brother won a bumper on debut a year ago

C'est Encore |
(12) (70/1 -112%)70/1(-112%) | (12) C'est Encore 70/1, Has failed to beat a rival in 3 starts, finishing well held in 12-runner minor event at Kempton (8f, 300/1) 54 days ago. Eyeshields on 1st time as he makes handicap debut. Brings dismal form claims to this turf/handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) (6/1 +8%) Meet Me In Meraki |
6/1(+8%) | (5) Meet Me In Meraki 6/1, Upped in trip, showed benefit of reappearance run when fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 6/1) 26 days ago. Still looking for his first win but he remains unexposed at this distance. 0-10 but ran encouragingly upped to 1m at Lingfield most recently; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/1 -75%) Beach Point |
7/1(-75%) | (2) Beach Point 7/1, After 5 months off, was well backed (11/4) but finished eighth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Clearly thought capable of better as he makes only his third start in a handicap. Finished behind Newfangled at Kempton but started favourite and should do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (18/1 +10%) Keen Interest |
18/1(+10%) | (6) Keen Interest 18/1, Has been struggling for form this year, eighth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 36 days ago. Continues to fall in the weights but more needed to take advantage back on turf. Far from solid on AW form for current yard; returns to turf for first time since debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/1 +27%) Newfangled |
4/1(+27%) | (1) Newfangled 4/1, Making his return from 7 months off (had been gelded), took a step forward when 2 lengths fifth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Could still have more to offer. Likely to build on Kempton reappearance effort; sibling to two winners for his yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (28/1 -40%) Tomorrow Day |
28/1(-40%) | (3) Tomorrow Day 28/1, Following an 8-month absence (gelded). finished well held on first run since leaving Seamus Durack when ninth of 10 in maiden at this C&D (good to soft, 40/1) 17 days ago. Tongue strap now applied. Stiff task in C&D maiden on stable/seasonal debut; this is more suitable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (4/1 -60%) Amerigo Vespucci |
4/1(-60%) | (9) Amerigo Vespucci 4/1, In first-time cheekpieces back on turf, opened his account in 10-runner handicap (12/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, rallying to lead again line. Leading contender. Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Yarmouth; respected in the retained headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (11/2 -10%) Bramble Jelly |
11/2(-10%) | (8) Bramble Jelly 11/2, After 6 months off, finished closer than previously when third of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft, 16/1) a week ago. Task is now to build on her latest effort. Ran well at Windsor last week on seasonal debut; finishing third; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (7/1 +13%) Clear Justice |
7/1(+13%) | (10) Clear Justice 7/1, Racing from out of the handicap, shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 7 in nursery at Lingfield (8f, AW, 66/1) in November, missing break. Has been gelded ahead of his return from 6 months off. Market should be helpful as he's the only runner who lacks 2024 match practice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (33/1 -32%) Escape The Grape |
33/1(-32%) | (11) Escape The Grape 33/1, Has made little impact so far in varied events, last of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 37 days ago. Back down in trip with cheekpieces now reached for. Form is poor; first-time headgear needs to make a difference. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (14/1 +13%) Running Deal |
14/1(+13%) | (4) Running Deal 14/1, Making his handicap debut, offered little after 3 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/1) 26 days ago. Remains early days but he has something to find as he switches to turf. Switch to turf may prompt improvement; one of two interesting runners for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (25/1 +0%) Weston Court |
25/1(+0%) | (7) Weston Court 25/1, Remains a maiden. Ran poorly after 4 months off when last of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 33/1) 2 weeks ago. Needs to get back on track returned to this shorter distance. Inconsistent maiden but has frame possibilities on best 2yo efforts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
AMERIGO VESPUCCI got off the mark with a narrow victory in a similar event at Yarmouth a couple of weeks ago and the three-year-old merits the utmost respect off just a 3lb higher mark. Bramble Jelly showed plenty of promise when third at Windsor a week ago and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Meet Me In Meraki and Clear Justice.
Making his first start on turf for his current yard, AMERIGO VESPUCCI showed improved form in first-time cheekpieces when battling well for success at Yarmouth 13 days ago and he can score again now that he's up and running. Newfangled also took his form up a notch on his return and could be the main danger, ahead of Beach Point.
With the cheekpieces retained, AMERIGO VESPUCCI could well build on his Yarmouth win. Meet Me In Meraki is second choice.

1st (4) (5/2 +44%) I'd Like To Know |
5/2(+44%) | (4) I'd Like To Know 5/2, Went down only narrowly on chase debut at Newbury in January before going one place better there in March, again impressing with his jumping. Shaped well again when forcing the pace over 19.8f at Plumpton last month and he's seriously respected despite racing from out of weights. Lightly raced chaser who was perhaps unsuited to Plumpton the last time; retains potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/2 +58%) Onemorefortheroad |
5/2(+58%) | (3) Onemorefortheroad 5/2, Produced a career-best when winning an 11-runner handicap chase (18/1) at this C&D (good) a fortnight ago, benefiting from the run of the race but digging deep to hold on. Just of the weights here but still respected. Made it 2-2 as a chaser when overcoming a late mistake over C&D; raised 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/2 +55%) Bourbali |
9/2(+55%) | (5) Bourbali 9/2, Won a match here in November but pulled up at Plumpton before reverted to hurdles when too free at Wincanton (19.8f, heavy) 28 days ago. Others appeal more. Entitled to give his running being 6lb out of the weights hurts his chances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (3/1 -50%) Calico |
3/1(-50%) | (2) Calico 3/1, Largely held form well in defeat last season, in the hunt for a long way when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Chepstow (16f, soft) 35 days ago. Well treated on the pick of his form and he makes plenty of appeal. Likes to lead and he's not the only one, but there's plenty in his favour otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/1 -170%) Editeur Du Gite |
9/1(-170%) | (1) Editeur Du Gite 9/1, Bold-jumping front runner who landed the Desert Orchid at Kempton for the second year running in December but no form otherwise last season, pulling up on return from a 3-month absence in the Celebration Chase at Sandown (15.4f, good) 9 days ago. Has been contesting Grade 1s and he won a 2m handicap here over Christmas. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
EDITEUR DU GITE shouldn't be judged too harshly on his defeats in Grade 1 company at Cheltenham and Sandown this year, with this return to handicap company a huge positive. Moreover, the veteran clearly loves it at this venue, as evidenced by his Grade 2 Desert Orchid victories in 2022 and 2023. The Saddex gelding is taken to regain the winning thread, at the main expense of Calico, who lurks on an attractive mark, with recent C&D winner Onemorefortheroad completing the shortlist.
CALICO has edged back towards the mark from which hie was runner-up at Cheltenham in November, and having shaped well at Chepstow last time, gets the nod over the unexposed I'd Like To Know. Onemorefortheroad had the run of the race over C&D last time and rates as third pick.
The presence of EDITEUR DU GITE sees three of his rivals out of the handicap. He can stamp his class on this field.

1st (16) (10/3 +26%) Pinar Del Rio |
10/3(+26%) | (16) Pinar Del Rio 10/3, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, excellent second of 27 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) on return 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has to be taken seriously. Second in a 27-runner contest over C&D, losing out by only a short head, leading chance. |

2nd (17) (25/1 +0%) The Bear Trap |
25/1(+0%) | (17) The Bear Trap 25/1, Unreliable individual. Respectable third of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Dundalk (6f) 31 days ago. Solid AW display when third over this trip a month ago, might prefer better going. |

3rd (11) (18/1 +28%) Tai Sing Yeh |
18/1(+28%) | (11) Tai Sing Yeh 18/1, Nineteenth of 21 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft, 8/1) 9 days ago, very slowly away. Chance on old form. Hampered, unable to feature in Navan race in which Loma Larnee and Sevensees were placed. |

4th (2) (22/1 +12%) Mount Ruapehu |
22/1(+12%) | (2) Mount Ruapehu 22/1, Latest win at Dundalk in January. 10/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, below form tenth of 21 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Appears well held by the placed horses Loma Larnee and Sevensees on Nvan running. |

5th (12) (28/1 -100%) Linger For Longer |
28/1(-100%) | (12) Linger For Longer 28/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Off 6 months. Ran well on return last season. Cork 6f winner, towards the rear over 5f on final 2023 outing, best watched on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (15) (8/1 +20%) Downforce |
8/1(+20%) | (15) Downforce 8/1, C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 27 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Stable in good form. Ought to go close. Fifth of 27 here last month, not much between him and runner-up Pinar Del Rio.. |

7th (6) (6/1 +14%) Universally |
6/1(+14%) | (6) Universally 6/1, Winner at Fairyhouse in September. Good third of 22 in handicap (9/1) at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 6 months ago. Claims if ready to roll with Colin Keane up. In good form in the latter part of last season, interesting here with Colin Keane booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (13/2 +13%) Rathbranchurch |
13/2(+13%) | (5) Rathbranchurch 13/2, One win from 22 Flat runs. 4/1, respectable seventh of 21 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Fifth of 21 over C&D, failed to reproduce that form in a Navan race, can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (12/1 -20%) Run Forrest Run |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Run Forrest Run 12/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy, 14/1) 37 days ago. Probably needed that and won this last year. Won twice over 6f last term, here and at Cork, should be better for his comeback. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (17/2 -70%) Sevensees |
17/2(-70%) | (8) Sevensees 17/2, 25/1, very good third of 21 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Took well to sprinting there and in with a shout for in-form yard. Good handicap effort over 5f at Navan, 3/4l behind the runner-up Loma Lamee. |

11th (10) (50/1 -257%) Senado Square |
50/1(-257%) | (10) Senado Square 50/1, Latest win at Dundalk in December. Off 138 days. Has work to do. In fine form in sprint handicaps at Dundalk last December, unplaced on last turf run. |

80/1(-220%) | (13) Distillate 80/1, Bit below form twelfth of 21 in handicap (50/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Well held by several of these rivals on recent running over C&D and at Navan. |

13th (4) (50/1 -52%) Nordic Passage |
50/1(-52%) | (4) Nordic Passage 50/1, C&D winner. Last of 12 in handicap at this course (5f, heavy, 25/1) 15 days ago. A long way below his best on his last three 2023 starts and on seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (1) (11/1 -69%) Winemaker |
11/1(-69%) | (1) Winemaker 11/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in March. 4/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 31 days ago, reportedly bled. In good form on the AW at Dundalk, has also won two of his seven starts on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (3) (100/1 -203%) Cross Border |
100/1(-203%) | (3) Cross Border 100/1, Unreliable sort. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Dundalk in January. 50/1, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 31 days ago. Won a 5f maiden at Dundalk in after six consecutive placed effort, weak form since then. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (9) (16/1 +36%) Half Nutz |
16/1(+36%) | (9) Half Nutz 16/1, Course winner. Twenty four runs since last win in 2022. Seventeenth of 21 in handicap (25/1) at this course (7f, heavy) 15 days ago. Can make presence felt. Not disgraced on the AW through the winter and all six career wins have come on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (14) (8/1 +20%) Loma Larnee |
8/1(+20%) | (14) Loma Larnee 8/1, 22/1, second of 21 in 5f handicap at Navan on return 9 days ago. That was a good reappearance but tough one to go overboard about given her previous indiscretions (has refused to race). Fine second at Navan nine days ago, renews rivalry with Sevensees and Rathbranchurch. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
RATHBRANCHCHURCH ran slightly below par at Navan last time but on his previous fifth over this C&D, the Michael Mulvany-trained gelding has every chance. A high draw tends to prove advantageous on the sprint track here, so having bagged the plum rails stall, Wesley Joyce will be confident. Sevensees has to be of serious interest with Ben Coen taking over in the saddle. The Johnny Murtagh-trained four-year-old went close at Navan last month on just his second handicap run and there could be more to come. Universally is another who can get involved, with Colin Keane a notable booking for the grey sprinter.
PINAR DEL RIO was edged out late on here a fortnight ago and is clearly well treated if in the same sort of form. Veteran Downforce and Sevensees are among the dangers.
Navan form points to Loma Larnee and Sevensees but they may not cope with RATHBRANCHURCH, better judged on his seasonal debut

1st (1) (5/4 +44%) Spartan Warrior |
5/4(+44%) | (1) Spartan Warrior 5/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) on handicap/turf 14 days ago. Cheekpieces are added now. Retains potential. Ordinary form on AW; did not stay 1m3f on h'cap/turf debut; 1m2f may suit; headgear tried. |

2nd (4) (10/3 -33%) Patronage |
10/3(-33%) | (4) Patronage 10/3, Winner at Newcastle in March. 9/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Up in trip. Expected to be bang there. Improved since handicapping; 1m AW winner and fair fourth on turf latest; can go well. |

13/2(+28%) | (5) Miss Galiway 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Some promise in 2023; poor form in handicaps this year (well behind Patronage last time). |

4th (3) (11/2 -22%) Pearl Sands |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/1 -227%) Seahorse Syd |
9/1(-227%) | (2) Seahorse Syd 9/1, Won a pair of nurseries at the end of last summer. Seventh of 8 in nursery (14/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) final start. Off 6 months. Two nursery wins at up to 1m2f last term; not particularly consistent; chance on best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (28/1 +44%) Turkish Tiger |
28/1(+44%) | (6) Turkish Tiger 28/1, Poor form. 100/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Wetherby (1m, soft) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Poor form so far including on handicap debut at Wetherby eight days ago.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Patronage had Miss Galiway (seventh) behind when finishing a never-nearer fourth at Yarmouth on his latest outing and he is an interesting contender on his first attempt at this distance off 1lb lower. However, a chance can be taken on SPARTAN WARRIOR, who was well-held at Windsor last month but he was dropped 2lb for that effort and he now sports first-time cheekpieces. With Kevin Stott booked, he is worth another chance, while Pearl Sands could also get into contention in a weak contest.
In a finale where few arrive with obviously compelling claims the suggestion is PATRONAGE who was a bit better than the result over 1m at Yarmouth last time and might have more to come at this trip. Spartan Warrior may give him most to do if reacting well to the cheekpieces.
Preference is for PATRONAGE who won over 1m at Newcastle in March and was a fair fourth back on turf at Yarmouth last time.

1st (8) (14/1 +0%) Jacquelina |
14/1(+0%) | (8) Jacquelina 14/1, Won classified event at Wolverhampton in January. Runner-up twice in handicaps there in February but below form there last time.. 2-26; more needed at this level and not sure testing ground would be ideal either. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/4 -10%) On Edge |
11/4(-10%) | (1) On Edge 11/4, Course winner. Five wins from 18 runs. Good second of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm, 13/2) on reappearance 14 days ago. Should go well again. Most form over 6f, but won over 5f last autumn and has been successful here; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (9/1 +25%) Bama Lama |
9/1(+25%) | (9) Bama Lama 9/1, Course winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Hollie Doyle up but others arrive with more pressing claims. Dual 6f winner here; back off last winning turf mark, but may prefer the extra furlong now. |

4th (4) (9/2 +25%) Willingly |
9/2(+25%) | (4) Willingly 9/2, Left reappearance behind when respectable third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (5f, heavy, 7/1) 9 days ago. Still 5lb above last winning mark, but goes very well on a soft surface; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (20/1 -150%) So Smart |
20/1(-150%) | (6) So Smart 20/1, One win from 34 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, last of 7 in handicap at Leicester (5f, heavy) 9 days ago. Just 1-34 and finished well behind Willingly at Leicester nine days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/1 -200%) Abolish |
9/1(-200%) | (5) Abolish 9/1, One win from 29 runs but unlucky not to add a second success at Kempton (6f) last time, going down by only a short head to Libra Tiger despite meeting trouble. Leading claims. 1-29 since arriving in Britain and would have plenty to prove on soft ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (5/1 +33%) Libra Tiger |
5/1(+33%) | (2) Libra Tiger 5/1, Latest win at Kempton in March. 13/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Won off this mark in soft ground at Sandown last summer; can't be dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (11/2 +66%) Roman Spring |
11/2(+66%) | (7) Roman Spring 11/2, Still a maiden. 14/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. On the downgrade and now 0-13; plenty to prove on first run at 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (25/1 -56%) Sugar Hill |
25/1(-56%) | (3) Sugar Hill 25/1, Unreliable individual. 25/1, first run since leaving George Boughey when eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago. Plenty to find on form. 0-7 and no better on stable debut last time; plenty to prove dropping again in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (25/1 -150%) Ali Jewels |
25/1(-150%) | (10) Ali Jewels 25/1, 9/1 and blinkered first time, third of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago. 1-13 but ran better on third start for the yard at Yarmouth last time; each-way claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ON EDGE looks to have plenty in his favour here, with a high draw possibly advantageous and he made a promising seasonal debut when only beaten a neck here over a furlong further. He will need a career best to succeed off a 2lb higher mark, but still looks the form pick on recent effort. Bama Lama has won over 6f here twice, once off this mark, and the booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye, but Willingly may be a bigger danger to the selection after her recent Leicester third.
ABOLISH looked unlucky when narrowly denied at Kempton last time and can gain compensation now. On Edge was a good second on his 6f course reappearance a fortnight ago and is second choice ahead of Willingly.
Few are solid but ON EDGE (nap) is a reliable sort who has winning form here. He should cope with the return to 5f and soft surface.

1st (9) (8/1 +0%) King's Castle |
8/1(+0%) | (9) King's Castle 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles who ran up to when third at Taunton last time. Should give another good account. 0-7 over hurdles; in a consistent vein of form but now goes back up in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/4 +55%) Davidoc |
5/4(+55%) | (5) Davidoc 5/4, £60,000 buy after winning at the fourth time of asking in the Irish pointing field and built on some encouraging efforts over hurdles when easily landing a novice at Plumpton last time. Opening mark looks fair and there's more to come, so leading claims. Justified favouritism in Plumpton maiden last time and may well build on that win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/2 +8%) Kado De Joie |
11/2(+8%) | (8) Kado De Joie 11/2, French recruit who stepped up on his first 2 efforts over hurdles when winning a 5-runner Market Rasen juvenile in February. Not in quite the same form when sixth of 9 on 2m Ascot handicap debut since but it's still early days. Henderson-trained 4yo who has low mileage and may do better still. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (22/1 -38%) Homme D'un Soir |
22/1(-38%) | (3) Homme D'un Soir 22/1, Pretty useful hurdler/chaser for Stuart Crawford in his prime. Placed twice in handicap hurdles for new yard in the winter but he needs to shrug off a a couple of poor runs. Ran poorly the last twice; new headgear needs to prompt a turnaround. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (14/1 -75%) Isabella Bee |
14/1(-75%) | (1) Isabella Bee 14/1, Has improved plenty for the switch to handicaps, completing a hat-trick in 14-runner event at Taunton in November. Failed to beat a rival in listed event at Newbury next time but could get back on track after 5 months off. Well held in Listed grade five months ago; has form figures of 2111 in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (17/2 -42%) Jeudidee |
17/2(-42%) | (2) Jeudidee 17/2, Bumper winner who created a good impression in making a successful start over hurdles in a first-time tongue strap at Worcester in August. Added to his tally in good style in an Exeter novice in October and not disgraced when third in handicap at Ludlow 6 months ago. Not seen since. Overall record is 3-6 and he could still have further progress in him; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (17/2 +39%) Cuban Court |
17/2(+39%) | (10) Cuban Court 17/2, Fairly useful bumper winner who shaped well on his handicap debut following a wind op when second of 17 at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) in January. However, failed to build on that effort over the same C&D next time. Best on good ground; well held on heavy last time; still unexposed in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (28/1 -133%) Skip Mahler |
28/1(-133%) | (7) Skip Mahler 28/1, In good form before unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f, soft). Off 6 months. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Mrs Lorna Fowler. Worth monitoring in the betting. 0-11 in Ireland but was placed on four occasions; debut for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (18/1 +28%) Treasured Company |
18/1(+28%) | (11) Treasured Company 18/1, Dual 2m hurdles winner in 2021. Lightly raced since but yet to hit top form this term. Has weak claims on recent form; held by Commanding View on latest effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (40/1 -60%) Rock On Tommy |
40/1(-60%) | (12) Rock On Tommy 40/1, Two-time 2m scorer at Uttoxeter last July but comes here out of sorts and others make more appeal. Has a major question mark over current form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (16/1 -60%) Walk Of No Shame |
16/1(-60%) | (4) Walk Of No Shame 16/1, Bumper/novice hurdle winner last winter who added to her tally in a 3-runner handicap at Southwell (2m, soft) in December. Not disgraced next time but pulled up at Leicester since and needs to bounce back. Sole handicap win looks weak form and she's 2lb above that mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Jeudidee has a 100 per cent record here after winning a bumper last year and, with two wins from four starts over hurdles, he could get involved in the finish. Davidoc took his maiden at Plumpton on his first start after wind surgery and looks reasonably treated off a mark of 108, but ISABELLA BEE could be worth another chance. Out-gunned at Listed level in December, the return to handicap company may see her get back to winning ways after two victories at Uttoxeter and one at Taunton last autumn.
DAVIDOC opened his account in ready fashion at Plumpton last time and there should be even more to come, so he takes preference over Commanding View and King's Castle, who also arrive in good order.
Handicap debutant DAVIDOC (nap) is taken to build on his Plumpton success and follow up. Jeudidee is second choice.

2nd (3) (17/2 +6%) Galactic Glow |
17/2(+6%) | (3) Galactic Glow 17/2, All 3 wins at this course (10.2f). Raced freely after 6 months off (had a wind op) when sixth of 13 in handicap here (11.6f, good to soft, 40/1) 17 days ago. Not discounted at this venue. Has done all his winning at Bath (1m2f); runner-up over C&D last September. |

3rd (7) (9/1 +10%) James Park Woods |

Well treated on historical data but it's a long time since his sole win. |

4th (10) (9/2 +31%) Sao Timothy |
9/2(+31%) | (10) Sao Timothy 9/2, Back down significantly in trip, proved himself on turf when fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 50/1) 17 days ago. Enters calculations. 4yo maiden; ran respectably over C&D last time; frame possibilities. |

5th (12) (16/1 +20%) Danesfort |
16/1(+20%) | (12) Danesfort 16/1, Well held on first start for current yard and never better than mid-field when sixth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (soft) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for. Maiden whose chance depends on how well he responds to headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (33/1 +0%) Wood Farm Wag |
33/1(+0%) | (11) Wood Farm Wag 33/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Fared no better back up in trip when sixth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (8.1f) a week ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Still a maiden and is far from consistent; blinkers enlisted. |

7th (2) (6/1 -118%) Moon Over The Sea |
6/1(-118%) | (2) Moon Over The Sea 6/1, C&D winner who has been successful twice at Wolverhampton this year. Continued in good heart when second of 7 in handicap at the same course (12.2f, 9/4) 23 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Consistent at 8.5f-1m4f on AW this year; won over C&D last spring; solid chance. |

8th (1) (18/1 +10%) Devore |
18/1(+10%) | (1) Devore 18/1, Down the field all 3 starts for her current yard, last of 9 in handicap (50/1) at Kempton (8f) 75 days ago. Has fallen further in the weights but enough to prove at present. Could stage a revival returned to turf and dropped to Class 6; possibilities. |

9th (6) (10/1 +29%) Bhubezi |

Beaten almost 8l in the C&D event won by Andromedas Kingdom. |

11th (13) (80/1 -60%) Musaytir |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (28/1 -133%) Purple Poppy |
28/1(-133%) | (9) Purple Poppy 28/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Below-par effort when eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 8/1) in November. However, she held her form well in the main last season, including when placed on her reappearance. Bit to prove back on turf and 1m at this course may stretch her. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Andromedas Kingdom clearly sets the standard having won over this course and distance eight days ago, but a 5lb penalty for that victory will make life tougher for her. With that in mind, preference is for MOON OVER THE SEA, who was a close second off this mark at Wolverhampton last time and is a proven winner over this track and trip. Others to consider are James Park Woods and Sao Timothy.
After 6 months off, ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM made it 2 wins from her last 3 starts when successful at this C&D 8 days ago and a penalty might not be enough to prevent her from following up. Moon Over The Sea has been proving consistent this year and is feared most, while Sao Timothy could also be in the mix.
Recent C&D scorer ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM is now 2-3 in Class 6 events at about 1m. Moon Over The Sea has a solid chance.

1st (8) (10/3 +17%) Inoui Machin |
10/3(+17%) | (8) Inoui Machin 10/3, Dual bumper winner who came good at the fifth time of asking over hurdles when getting the better of El Granjero (winner of both starts since) in a Hereford maiden in March. Creditable third in handicap there next time and remains capable of better. In good form at Hereford and gives the impression that this step up in trip will benefit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +20%) Menaggio |
4/1(+20%) | (3) Menaggio 4/1, Showed ability when sixth in big-field Newbury bumper on debut last spring and made it third time lucky over hurdles in a 21.7f Hereford novice (good to soft) in January. Not disgraced under a penalty over C&D and could have more to offer now handicapping. Doesn't look thrown in for handicap debut but there's no doubt more to come from him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (18/1 -50%) Fair Frontieres |
18/1(-50%) | (2) Fair Frontieres 18/1, More miss than hit this year and doesn't look the force of old. Hard to recommend on the back of a laboured display at Huntingdon, although cheekpieces might help. Three-time novice winner who hasn't got back to his best since returning from an absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (17/2 +47%) Sami Bear |
17/2(+47%) | (10) Sami Bear 17/2, C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) 165 days ago. Not without hope if he's fully tuned up. Not in great form when last seen but goes well here and conditions will be perfect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (8/1 -33%) Mulberry Hill |
8/1(-33%) | (5) Mulberry Hill 8/1, Fair handicap hurdler who produced a career-best effort on her third chase start when winning at Kempton (20.5f) in November. Pulled up next time and now returns to the smaller obstacles after a break. Won over fences here in Nov; solid record over hurdles and nothing wrong with her mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/2 +31%) Alien Storm |
11/2(+31%) | (6) Alien Storm 11/2, Hasn't really been firing lately but third at Plumpton 36 days ago was a bit more encouraging and he's becoming well treated. Beaten knocking on 20l when third at Plumpton and needs to raise his game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (25/1 -150%) Dublin Four |
25/1(-150%) | (4) Dublin Four 25/1, Largely run with credit this season but fell on final outing (over fences) for Fergal O'Brien and starts out for new yard with a bit to prove after 13 months off. Having first run over hurdles since winning a maiden in early 2020. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (9/2 +18%) Playtogetaway |
9/2(+18%) | (7) Playtogetaway 9/2, Landed a pair of 2m handicaps in the first half of 2023 and resumed from 8 months off with a couple of promising efforts, travelling best when second at Hereford 22 days ago. One to note. Has done well in handicaps but whether this longer trip will help remains to be seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (12/1 -71%) Tarahumara |
12/1(-71%) | (1) Tarahumara 12/1, Third hurdle success of his short career when returning from 6 months off to see off 16 rivals in a 2m Warwick handicap (heavy) in November. Likely found the run coming too soon when pulling up at Exeter 19 days later. Freshened up since. Can bounce back. Now has to prove himself worthy of this mark but still lightly raced. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TARAHUMARA comes with risks attached having stopped quickly and eventually pulling up at Exeter in November. However, Emma Lavelle's gelding created a deep impression when making all at Warwick earlier that month and he could be worth chancing given his fantastic record when fresh. Playtogetaway had fellow rival Inoui Machin (third) behind when runner-up at Hereford last month. The pair are both potential improvers on this rise in distance and they are viable alternatives to the selection.
PLAYTOGETAWAY shaped well when runner-up at Hereford last time with Inoui Machin one place behind and the pair might well dominate this unless Tarahumara bounces back after a break.
The suggestion is a refreshed SAMI BEAR (nap), who has a good record here and he's receiving a stone and more from all his rivals.

8/1(+20%) | (11) Storm Valley 8/1, Winner at Kempton in February. 9/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 53 days ago. Won penultimate start; below form latest but ran well on her sole go on soft (last July). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/1 -122%) Dubai Immo |
10/1(-122%) | (6) Dubai Immo 10/1, 33/1, off the mark in 15-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago. Still fairly treated on best efforts after 5 lb rise and can go well again under Hollie Doyle. Off the mark latest, in clearcut fashion in 15-runner Chelmsford AW race (upped to 1m2f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (20/1 -67%) Angelica K |
20/1(-67%) | (1) Angelica K 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Back up in trip which will suit. One to note. 40-1 and never dangerous when sixth of 12 on turf/handicap debut at Bath, dropped to 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (28/1 -180%) Nostromo |
28/1(-180%) | (8) Nostromo 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Off 6 months. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Could do better this year. Didn't achieve much in his three runs but this is a move up in trip and handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (4/1 +33%) Dotties Star |
4/1(+33%) | (5) Dotties Star 4/1, Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 13/2) 168 days ago. Yet to win but ran well over C&D in October. 12-race maiden but second over C&D (heavy) on penultimate start; off 168 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/4 +63%) Daphne May |
9/4(+63%) | (4) Daphne May 9/4, Course winner. Sixth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 50/1) 23 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip. Lurks on a tempting mark. Three turf wins last year, the latest (Epsom 1m2f, soft) off mark 6lb higher than today's. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (6/1 +50%) Curtiz |
6/1(+50%) | (9) Curtiz 6/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. Bit below form seventh of 16 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 31 days ago. Form dipped last time; well handicapped on some turf form in 2022 (missed most of 2023). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (12/1 +0%) Fullforward |
12/1(+0%) | (12) Fullforward 12/1, Course winner. 9/1, creditable fourth of 16 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 31 days ago, hampered. Blinkers back on. In form and respected back here. Consistent; fit from AW and competitive mark but there's a bit for him to prove in the mud. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (33/1 +0%) Robert Walpole |
33/1(+0%) | (2) Robert Walpole 33/1, Fairly useful handicapper at best, little impact for a while. Off 115 days. First run for yard after leaving James Evans. 2-16, both wins in spring 2022; failed to shine in autumn/winter campaign on AW; new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (17/2 -21%) Roscioli |
17/2(-21%) | (3) Roscioli 17/2, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. 7/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. 1m win in February; well treated judged on two turf performances (one on soft) last summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (20/1 -67%) Lucidity |
20/1(-67%) | (7) Lucidity 20/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 28/1) 30 days ago. Others more persuasive. Seven-race maiden, best form when placed twice (1m/1m2f) on good to firm last summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (66/1 -230%) Hooves Like Jagger |
66/1(-230%) | (13) Hooves Like Jagger 66/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Off 12 months. Yard in form but might need this return over trip that looks on the short side. Last won in February 2022 and has been absent for 387 days; more to prove on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (80/1 -100%) No Such Luck |
80/1(-100%) | (15) No Such Luck 80/1, Modest performer. Won minor event at Lingfield in early-2023 but lost his way. Off 8 months. 2-28, both wins on Lingfield AW (from 23 AW starts) and latest in January 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (16) (80/1 -142%) Temur Khan |
80/1(-142%) | (16) Temur Khan 80/1, Latest win at Brighton in October. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 25/1) 140 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Didn't show here to start his 2023 campaign and no shock if this run is similar. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A weak but competitive race that could see a bold effort from Daphne May, who has been out of sorts lately but she has won at this venue in the past and scored six times off higher marks. She can surprise a few but on recent form, DUBAI IMMO is more interesting. He ran on well to win an amateur jockeys' handicap at Chelmsford and has only been upped 5lb, which seems fair with improvement likely. High Court Judge and Dotties Star are others to consider in a wide-open contest.
TROJAN TRUTH tends to go well here and gets the vote in an ordinary handicap. Dubai Immo finally opened his account at Chelmsford and is still well treated after a 5 lb rise. Fullforward and High Court Judge are respected also.
Roscioli and DAPHNE MAY are fit from the AW and are well handicapped judged on turf form last year, including on soft.

1st (12) (10/1 +17%) Newtonian |
10/1(+17%) | (12) Newtonian 10/1, Remains a maiden after 20 runs but he has reached the frame on 5 of his last starts, finishing third of 11 over 23f at Exeter latest. Should figure again. 0-20 but was a close third at Exeter (2m7f) last time and has each-way claims again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (14/1 -115%) Prince De Juilley |
14/1(-115%) | (2) Prince De Juilley 14/1, Maiden jumper who ran one of his better races when second of 13 in Stratford handicap hurdle 15 days ago. Claims if he can back that up. Back to form when runner-up at Stratford (3m2f) and has claims if he can back that up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (7/1 +30%) Jack The Farmer |
7/1(+30%) | (7) Jack The Farmer 7/1, Finally got off the mark with a ready success at Worcester (23f) last July. Runner-up twice subsequently but and claims if fully primed after 6 months off. Close second in this race last year and he needs watching in market after 204 days off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (20/1 -43%) Lepashe |
20/1(-43%) | (1) Lepashe 20/1, Point winner who has shown fair form at best over hurdles but struggled last season, including remote fourth in 3m Chepstow maiden hurdle 5 weeks ago. Inconsistent ten-race maiden and he needs a major revival back in a handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (13/2 +19%) Steal My Sunshine |
13/2(+19%) | (6) Steal My Sunshine 13/2, Pair of handicap hurdle wins in the first half of last season. No impact over fences this spring but has dipped to his last successful mark and no surprise were he to stage a revival back hurdling. Back on last winning mark but he needs to turn things around back over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (6/1 -167%) He Is A Cracker |
6/1(-167%) | (11) He Is A Cracker 6/1, In good form at the start of last season, placing 3 times (including this race on reappearance) before winning over fences at Fontwell in September. Capable when fresh. Respected. Easy win over fences in September and he's only 3lb higher back over hurdles; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (25/1 +24%) Elfride |
25/1(+24%) | (15) Elfride 25/1, Improved to win a 23f Uttoxeter handicap last spring but little of note since, including last of 7 at Chepstow 23 days ago. Record of 1-15 and she's struggled since her Uttoxeter win 12 months ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (7/2 +78%) Ri Na Cuirte |
7/2(+78%) | (8) Ri Na Cuirte 7/2, Modest form over hurdles, beaten 18 lengths when second of 5 on 3m Doncaster handicap debut in March. Failed to back that up when down the field at Exeter 5 weeks later. Still lightly raced but he's not progressed over hurdles and was tailed off last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (40/1 -21%) Dakota Beat |
40/1(-21%) | (14) Dakota Beat 40/1, Won a 23f Bangor handicap last August. Also a creditable fourth at Hexham in September but off since a below-par effort at Uttoxeter in September. Still 3lb higher than for his win last summer and has some work to do after 230 days off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (14/1 -100%) Caspers Court |
14/1(-100%) | (9) Caspers Court 14/1, Won back-to-back handicaps around 21f in early 2023. Unable to make a significant impact since but his mark has dipped and he might have needed the outing at Exeter last time after 4 months off. Yard's good record in this (won it in 2021 and 2022) makes him of some interest Well treated if he can get back on track and yard won this in 2021 and 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (150/1 -500%) Espinator |
150/1(-500%) | (4) Espinator 150/1, A three-time hurdles winner in 2021. Also second at Newton Abbot in September 2022 but pulled up on return from long absence in March. Has something to prove after that. Very lightly raced in recent years and was pulled up on his comeback in February. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (6/1 +40%) Just Jess |
6/1(+40%) | (10) Just Jess 6/1, Now 5 lb below the mark off which she hit the target at Catterick in January 2023. Mixed record since but could be dangerous if a recent wind operation has had a positive effect. Inconsistent mare who comes with risks attached after a short break; had another wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (9/1 -80%) Pride Of Paris |
9/1(-80%) | (3) Pride Of Paris 9/1, Improved to make a winning handicap hurdle debut at Fontwell in January, proving game. Unseated early in chase at Taunton sole outing since. Respected back hurdling. Won over hurdles in January and he could find more progress at this new trip; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (20/1 +20%) Floating Rock |
20/1(+20%) | (5) Floating Rock 20/1, Regular winner over the years but 0-5 for current yard, albeit he was entitled to have needed a recent Stratford outing after a year off. Last win was in a seller in 2022 and he's been well beaten in five runs for current yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Trainer Kayley Woollacott won this race in 2021 and 2022 and it will be interesting to see if Caspers Court comes in for any market support. He has won four times off higher marks and cannot be discounted, but HE IS A CRACKER could be the one to side with despite his long absence. An easy winner over fences in September, he is better handicapped over hurdles and has gone well fresh before, which may be all he needs. Just Jess is another to consider for the in-form Sue Smith stable.
Dan Skelton won a division of this race 12 months ago and STEAL MY SUNSHINE might be worth siding with to stage a revival back hurdling having dipped to his last successful mark. Kayley Woollacott also has a good recent record in this race and her Caspers Court is another who is well treated if bouncing back to form. Pride of Paris and Newtonian also make the shortlist in a wide-open finale.
This can go to HE IS A CRACKER, who won by 16l over fences last time and is only 3lb higher on this return to hurdling.

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.
