Hugo's Girl |
(7) (25/1 -79%)25/1(-79%) | (7) Hugo's Girl 25/1, Twice-raced filly. 7/1, third of 10 in maiden at Naas (5f, good) 15 days ago. Ought to pick up a race sooner rather than later but she lacks the potential star quality of some of these. Close 100-1 4th on debut and showed that was no fluke with 3rd since; each-way squeak. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Red Veil |
(11) (28/1 -12%)28/1(-12%) | (11) Red Veil 28/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 12 in maiden (18/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) on debut 27 days ago. Probably more one for nurseries in due course. Slowly away and green when 6th on last month's debut at Naas; may need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (6) (2/1 -23%) Heavens Gate |
2/1(-23%) | (6) Heavens Gate 2/1, Promising individual. 4/1, second of 11 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Open to improvement for powerful connections and she holds a Group 2 entry. Only beaten half a length on debut; may need further but should be in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/1 -6%) January |
9/1(-6%) | (8) January 9/1, Foaled April 10. Kingman filly. Dam, winner up to 1m (Boomerang Stakes, 2-y-o 7f winner and third in Sussex Stakes), out of half-sister to high-class winner up to 1m Landseer. No shortage of appeal on paper, albeit Ryan Moore prefers her once-raced stablemate Heavens Gate. Kingman filly; dam Group 2 winner over further; may need a longer trip; second-string. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (8/1 +50%) Grande Marques |
8/1(+50%) | (5) Grande Marques 8/1, Foaled February 22. Starspangledbanner filly. Sister to useful winner up to US 9f Bubbles On Ice and 1m winner Fizzical and half-sister to several winners, including US 1m winner Optimism And Hope. Yard can ready a newcomer and this filly is one to note in the betting. Starspangledbanner filly; sister to a couple of 1m winners; may want a bit further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/1 -11%) And So To Bed |
10/1(-11%) | (2) And So To Bed 10/1, Foaled February 22. 85,000 gns yearling, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Kidmenever and winner up to 1m Now The King. Dam unraced. Top yard 3-10 with 2-y-os on turf so far this season and this likely-looking type holds an entry in the Airlie Stud Stakes. Kodiac filly; 85,000gns yearling; yard have good strike-rate with their 2yos on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (12/1 -20%) Queens Fury |
12/1(-20%) | (10) Queens Fury 12/1, Once-raced filly. 15/2, third of 5 in minor event at Naas (5f, good to firm) on debut 7 days ago, not knocked about. Progress should be forthcoming from this filly, who holds a couple of notable entries. Green when 3rd of 5 on debut last week; sizeable step forward needed for win purposes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (20/1 +9%) Marys Not Contrary |
20/1(+9%) | (9) Marys Not Contrary 20/1, Foaled April 7. 28,000 gns foal, €62,000 yearling, Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to Italian winner up to 11f Sunset Lover. Dam Italian maiden half-sister to smart 7f-1½m winner Orpello. Good deal of appeal on paper but Cold Hearted is clearly the stable first-string. Havana Grey filly; cost 62,000eur yearling; yard have stronger claims with Cold Hearted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (125/1 -89%) Roaming Eyes |
125/1(-89%) | (12) Roaming Eyes 125/1, Foaled April 5. Holy Roman Emperor filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 9.7f/1¼m winner Encapsulation and useful 12.5f winner Tashi. Wears hood. Entitled to come on for the run. This test may be too sharp and hood for debut probably not a good sign. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (7/4 +36%) Cold Hearted |
7/4(+36%) | (3) Cold Hearted 7/4, Promising sort. Third of 12 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, soft, 14/1) on debut 27 days ago, best work finish. Will be more street-wise this time and big shout for the yard that landed this with subsequent Group 1 winner Albigna in 2019. Blue Point filly; well bred and behind 2 rivals that finished 1-2 in Gr 3; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (33/1 -83%) Twinkling Toes |
33/1(-83%) | (13) Twinkling Toes 33/1, Once-raced filly. 25/1, third of 9 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good) on debut 15 days ago, never nearer. Likely to pick up a race of two on that evidence but she's up against some very promising types here. Beaten 3l when 3rd in a Naas maiden; needs to settle better this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (66/1 +18%) Far At Sea |
66/1(+18%) | (4) Far At Sea 66/1, Once-raced filly. 8/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at this course (5f, heavy) on debut 69 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Only 8-1 for her debut here but was beaten 13l and others hold stronger claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (66/1 +18%) Al Rojo Vivo |
66/1(+18%) | (1) Al Rojo Vivo 66/1, Foaled March 31. Phoenix of Spain filly. Dam unraced out of useful winner up to 9.5f (2-y-o 7f winner) I'm Yours, herself daughter of Tattersalls Gold Cup winner Rebelline. Probably best watched on debut. Phoenix Of Spain filly with some speed in her pedigree and yard do well with sprinters. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
COLD HEARTED made a pleasing debut when third to Sparkling Sea and Fairy Godmother over a similar trip at Naas last month. The form of that race has been working out well since and the Jessica Harrington yard continues in great form. Heavens Gate is an obvious threat having also shaped well on debut when runner-up to the well-backed Unexpected Issues at Navan, while Queens Fury and Twinkling Toes also made promising debuts. And So To Bed is a Kodiac half-sister to three juvenile winners from a stable with a good line on juvenile form, while Grande Marques is by Starspangledbanner and from a family which connections have enjoyed plenty of success with.
This maiden has been won by some smart types over the years and COLD HEARTED is taken to add her name to the roll of honour before going on to better things herself. The two that beat her at Naas last month subsequently fought out the finish of a Group 3 contest, so the form looks strong. Heavens Gate shaped like a ready-made future winner when going down narrowly on her introduction at Navan and she is feared most ahead of Queens Fury and newcomer And So To Bed.
This could be a good chance for COLD HEARTED who chased home two well bred sorts who finished 1-2 in a Group 3 subsequently

1st (1) (9/4 +18%) Miss Maverick |
9/4(+18%) | (1) Miss Maverick 9/4, Going the right way over hurdles now, opening her account at this course last month before following up over C&D (good to soft) 8 days ago (left in front last). Yard in form and looks sure to make a bold bid from the front for the hat-trick under a double penalty. Not the form pick but 2-2 in Uttoxeter hurdle races and could still have a shout in this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (40/1 +0%) Love At Sea |
40/1(+0%) | (3) Love At Sea 40/1, Winning pointer who was regressive in bumpers and went with little encouragement tried hurdling after 15 months off when well held at Warwick (16f, good to soft) just under 3 weeks ago. Upped in trip but best watched. Close on her bumper debut but not in three subsequent bumpers or a 2m maiden hurdle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 -56%) Oneforthefairgreen |
14/1(-56%) | (4) Oneforthefairgreen 14/1, Fair form on 2 of her 4 starts in bumpers in Ireland and showed a bit more than previously in this sphere when third in mares' maiden at Fakenham (20f, good) earlier this month, staying on gradually. Can build on that with Bowen taking over. 27l third of eight in a maiden hurdle at Fakenham (2m4f, good); needs marked improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (4/6 +19%) Dameofthecotswolds |
4/6(+19%) | (6) Dameofthecotswolds 4/6, Stepped up on previous form over timber when second in juvenile handicap at Cheltenham last month, suited by strong pace. Shaped better than the bare result from 4 lb out of the weights at Kelso (16.2f, good) earlier in the month and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark over hurdles. This is a marked step up in trip but she is very much the form choice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (11/1 -22%) Yesanna |
11/1(-22%) | (5) Yesanna 11/1, Blue Bresil mare who failed to meet expectations that saw her go off near the top of the betting when seventh of 13 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good) on debut earlier this month. Represents a top yard, so worth a second look making a quick switch to hurdling. £88,000 3yo and useful pedigree but 7th of 13 when second favourite for Southwell bumper. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MISS MAVERICK made every yard of the running to complete a double over track and trip last time and he now has a 10lb penalty to carry. Gary Hanmer's seven-year-old is rapidly improving and he gets the nod, with his main danger possibly being Yesanna, who failed to fire on her bumper debut at Southwell earlier in the month but she could prove a different proposition over hurdles. Dameofthecotswolds completes the shortlist.
DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS has been banging at the door, and, getting weight from her 5 rivals, this looks a good opportunity for Nigel Twiston-Davies' 4-y-o to open her account back in novice company and upped to 2½m for the first time. Miss Maverick arrives chasing a hat-trick, but she may have to settle for silver carrying a double penalty, with hurdling-debutante Yesanna rounding off the shortlist.
Miss Maverick bids for three wins in a row at Uttoxeter and has proved her stamina, but she has to give DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS 18lb.

1st (9) (10/1 -67%) Zaynab |
10/1(-67%) | (9) Zaynab 10/1, Twice-raced winner. Won 18-runner maiden (10/1) at this course (7f, heavy) 36 days ago. More needed now switched to handicap company but she's anything but exposed. Built on promising debut to land 7f (heavy) maiden last month here; very different ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/1 -43%) Flight Of Fancy |
5/1(-43%) | (4) Flight Of Fancy 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/3, 2½ lengths fourth of 5 to Sea The Boss in Blue Wind Stakes at Naas (10.4f, good) 15 days ago. Back down in trip and she can be expected to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap. Promise in each of her 3 runs; not certain to appreciate a mile but well bred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (15/2 +25%) Asian Daze |
15/2(+25%) | (1) Asian Daze 15/2, 9/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (7f, soft) 20 days ago by 3½ lengths from Sluice, kept up to work. Raised 10 lb but she's now 2-2 in handicaps and another bold should could be on the way. Took form to new level, bolting up on return (7f); 10lb rise to cope with and fast ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (16/1 +11%) September Leaves |
16/1(+11%) | (11) September Leaves 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1 and visored for 1st time, fifth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (8f). Off 6 months ahead of this handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Promise in each of her 3 runs incl' at 1m latest and fair mark but lacks a recent run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (13/2 -18%) Sluice |
13/2(-18%) | (5) Sluice 13/2, Lightly-raced winner. 10/3, good 3½ lengths second of 10 to Asian Daze in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Now 10 lb better off with the winner, so she can be expected to finish closer this time. Won maiden last term; 2 promising runs this season; shaped like she would relish 1m latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (13/2 +19%) Evening Blossom |
13/2(+19%) | (10) Evening Blossom 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/4, third of 8 in maiden at Cork (10.2f, good) 16 days ago. Down in trip for this handicap debut and her best days are almost certainly still ahead of her. Placed in each of her three runs so far; beaten fav last 2 runs; 1m not sure to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (10/1 +38%) Cheeky Wink |
10/1(+38%) | (3) Cheeky Wink 10/1, Thrice-raced winner. 3¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Wendla in Cornelscourt Stakes (33/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm) 14 days ago, better placed than most. Improvement needed on this handicap debut. Winning return in a maiden at Gowran; 4l defeat in Gr 3 since; tough opening mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (18/1 +10%) Profit Refused |
18/1(+10%) | (6) Profit Refused 18/1, Lightly-raced winner. 22/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. Consistent in 4 runs incl' maiden win but beaten 5l on h'cap debut latest; mark looks high. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (12/1 +33%) Snellen |
12/1(+33%) | (2) Snellen 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 27 days ago. Probably in the handicapper's grip for now. Won first 2 starts incl' Chesham but hasn't kicked on and hard to recommend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (100/1 -52%) Lia Fail |
100/1(-52%) | (8) Lia Fail 100/1, 100/1, 13¼ lengths twelfth of 13 to Cherry Blossom in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip and chances are she'll come up short once again. Won 3 as a juvenile but concern she hasn't trained on given her form this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (4/1 +0%) Shelaka |
4/1(+0%) | (7) Shelaka 4/1, Promising individual. Second of 5 in minor event at Gowran (7f, heavy, 10/3) 33 days ago. The winner subsequently performed well in listed company and, with improvement likely back up to a mile for this handicap debut, she's a must for the shortlist. Won maiden on debut; bounced back from lesser run when 2nd at Gowran latest; 1m may suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Asian Daze gained a third career win when making an impressive reappearance over 7f here earlier this month, beating SLUICE by three and a half lengths. However, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly could be suited by the combination of moving up to a mile and this sounder surface, so may reverse the form on 10lb better terms. Flight Of Fancy takes a drop in class after her fourth in a Naas Group 3 and the step back in trip could suit, while Zaynab showed a smart turn of foot to snatch a 7f maiden here last month. Evening Blossom and September Leaves are two to consider on their handicap debut with useful claimers booked.
The pick of several promising fillies is SHELAKA, who shaped well when chasing home a useful type on her reappearance at Gowran and the return to this trip/switch to handicap company can help unlock improvement. Conversely, Flight of Fancy drops back in trip after contesting a 10.4f listed race at Naas and she is second choice off what looks a fair opening mark. Evening Blossom also merits respect, along with Asian Daze and Sluice, who were the first two home in a handicap here 20 days ago.
SLUICE shaped like she would relish a mile when second here earlier this month and she should have plenty more to give this season

1st (5) (5/1 -67%) Geordies Dream |
5/1(-67%) | (5) Geordies Dream 5/1, Fair bumper winner who is lightly raced for age. Good second in handicap hurdle at Carlisle on second start back from a long absence in February, no match for a well-treated sort but nicely clear of remainder. Unable to repeat that next time but worth another chance in this company with headgear on. C&D bumper winner; fair form over hurdles; best at 2m; headgear tried; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (8/1 -60%) Ravenscraig Castle |
8/1(-60%) | (6) Ravenscraig Castle 8/1, Useful at best at up to 2m on the Flat but has found winning difficult in recent years and didn't make much of an impact on belated debut in this sphere at Perth 10 days ago. Headgear back on. Quite useful on the Flat; beaten 22l on hurdles debut; cheekpieces tried; should improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/2 -64%) Blueberry Wine |
9/2(-64%) | (2) Blueberry Wine 9/2, Five-time winner over fences, landing handicaps at Huntingdon/Aintree early last summer. Lost his way a little after next start but looked back on song after a winter break when second in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f) last month, his first start over timber for almost 3 years. Form pick. Five-time chase winner; second in novice hurdle last time; conditions suit; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (28/1 -133%) Famous Liss |
28/1(-133%) | (4) Famous Liss 28/1, £6,000 4-y-o, Famous Name gelding. Off mark in Irish points at sixth attempt (finished alone, Mar 17). 12/1, showed up well for a long way but ended up soundly beaten when eighth of 12 in novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 22 days ago. Winning Irish pointer; well beaten after a break on hurdles/stable debut; should do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (11/1 +31%) Dorcas Road |
11/1(+31%) | (10) Dorcas Road 11/1, Bumper run for Ian Williams wasn't devoid of promise but probably being brought along with handicaps in mind judged on her 2 runs in this sphere. Improved on hurdles debut run when fifth of seven at Ayr last month; more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (50/1 +0%) Rock N Roll Champ |
50/1(+0%) | (7) Rock N Roll Champ 50/1, Maiden in Irish points and never a factor in novice hurdles here in recent weeks. Modest Irish pointer; well beaten in two runs over hurdles; others stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (5/4 +55%) Someone You Loved |
5/4(+55%) | (9) Someone You Loved 5/4, Fairly useful form at best on Flat in Germany (stays 11f) and pedigree gives hope he'll take to jumps (half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Sternrubin). Worth considering in a weak event. Fair on the Flat in Germany (RPR of 80); gelded since; interesting on jumps/stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (66/1 -100%) Acoustic |
66/1(-100%) | (1) Acoustic 66/1, Poor maiden on Flat for Richard Fahey and little form over hurdles for this yard. Modest Flat performer who hasn't shown enough over hurdles to suggest he will win this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (80/1 -142%) Fairly Fulling |
80/1(-142%) | (3) Fairly Fulling 80/1, Failed to complete both starts in points and finished well held in 3 bumpers. Ex-Irish pointer; modest form in bumpers and best watched on hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (8) (20/1 -25%) Saratoga Steve |
20/1(-25%) | (8) Saratoga Steve 20/1, Hinted at ability in 3 bumpers. Makes hurdles debut. Hood/tongue strap on for 1st time. Some promise in three bumpers; tried in a tongue-tie and hood for his hurdles debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Runner-up to a smart sort of Willie Mullins' at Ludlow, who went on to score at the Punchestown Festival, BLUEBERRY WINE sets the standard on what is his sixth start over the smaller obstacles. A progressive sort over fences last summer, the eight-year-old is preferred to hurdling newcomer Someone You Loved, who was a capable sort on the level in Germany for previous connections. Geordies Dream and Ravenscraig Castle are noted too.
BLUEBERRY WINE looked back on song after a break when second in a similar event at Ludlow on his belated return to hurdles last month and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better. Someone You Loved has some decent form on the Flat in Germany so is a potential danger starting out for Fergal O'Brien, with Geordies Dream another to consider.
Five-time chase winner BLUEBERRY WINE, who bumped into a useful one when second last time, is taken to get off the mark over hurdles.

Hammer Dan |
(6) (10/1 +17%)10/1(+17%) | (6) Hammer Dan 10/1, Tailed off in a bumper and has made little impact over hurdles, failing to improve for the switch to handicaps on his last 2 starts. Pulled up at Southwell when last seen in February, so he has work to do after a further 4 months off. 2nd in his only Irish point but he's achieved little in his six races under rules. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) (7/4 +50%) My Monty |
7/4(+50%) | (1) My Monty 7/4, On first start for current yard, shaped better than previously when third in novice at Hereford (21.7f) in January. In-and-out form since, but upped in trip he ran well when fourth of 7 in handicap at Warwick (25f, good) last time. Respected. Creditable fourth of seven at Warwick last time when upped to 3m1f for his second handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/2 +79%) Release The Kraken |
5/2(+79%) | (4) Release The Kraken 5/2, Modest maiden hurdler for Nicky Richards, before failing to complete all 3 starts for Laura Morgan in 2022/23. Hasn't fared much better both outings for current yard, well-beaten fourth in handicap at Southwell in February. Has enough to prove. Made a step back in right direction in February latest but this still demands a lot more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (4/1 +60%) Arctic Lodge |
4/1(+60%) | (5) Arctic Lodge 4/1, Modest form on first 4 starts over hurdles, before well held on his chase debut sole outing in 2023/24. After 11 months off, below expectations in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good) 18 days ago, but he remains lightly raced as he goes up in trip. Bits of form but beaten a minimum of 29l at single-figure odds in his three handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (10/3 -48%) Native Moon |
10/3(-48%) | (2) Native Moon 10/3, Down the field in a bumper and on hurdling debut. However, some promise on his last 2 starts, shaping as if better for the run after 4 months off when third in a Hereford maiden (19.7f, good) in April. One to note upped in trip for his handicap bow. Upped in trip for handicap debut and no great surprise if he makes the necessary progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LADY MENDOZA (also engaged to run at Cartmel on Saturday) occupied the runner-up spot in a class 4 event over 2m4f at Musselburgh in November last year and she makes plenty of appeal off a 1lb lower rating. Rebecca Menzies' mare looks well placed to go one better, with her main danger likely to be Native Moon, who could take a step forward on his handicap debut after hitting the frame at Hereford last month. Of the remainder, Release The Kraken makes the most appeal under Sean Bowen.
LADY MENDOZA made a promising return from a break when second to an improver at Musselburgh in November and, with more still to offer as a stayer, she looks to hold leading claims if taking up this engagement. My Monty produced one of his better efforts when fourth at Warwick 15 days ago and is next on the list, ahead of handicap-debutant Native Moon.
With Lady Mendoza due to run yesterday, the vote in this unconvincing field goes instead to MY MONTY ahead of Native Moon.

Gregarina |
(3) (13/2 +46%)13/2(+46%) | (3) Gregarina 13/2, Useful mare. First run since leaving Fabrice Chappet when winning 10-runner Athasi Stakes at this course (7f, soft, 16/1) by a head from You Send Me, despite a slow start. Should make her presence felt. Recovered her best French form when winning here on Irish debut, stable has a strong hand. |

1st (5) (8/1 -45%) Ocean Jewel |
8/1(-45%) | (5) Ocean Jewel 8/1, Useful filly. 8½ lengths eighth of 12 to Tahiyra in Matron Stakes (66/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm), finishing with running left. Off 8 months but she will be a live each-way player if fully tuned-up for this. Group 3 winner over 7f, decent run in a Group 1 on only attempt at this trip, interesting. |

Creditable short-head second of 6 to Empress of Beauty in listed race (10/11) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 18 days ago, having run of race. Place possibilities. Solid recent form in Listed races, 8lb behind yard's Rogue Millennium on official figures. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (Evens +39%) Rogue Millennium |
Evens(+39%) | (7) Rogue Millennium Evens, Smart mare. Below form 17¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Big Rock in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot (8f, soft, 50/1) when last seen in October. Will prove hard to beat if on-song following a break on debut for new yard (£1,650,000 buy from Tom Clover). Looks the best of these on 2023 form, suited by good ground, leads strong stable challenge. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (13/2 -18%) Orchid Bloom |
13/2(-18%) | (6) Orchid Bloom 13/2, Useful filly. 10½ lengths sixth of 8 to Royal Dress in listed race at Goodwood (8f, soft, 5/2) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Better than she was able to show that day and no surprise if she bounces back with a bold show, Best run on heavy in France, well below that from in a Listed race on soft at Goodwood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (8/1 +20%) You Send Me |
8/1(+20%) | (9) You Send Me 8/1, Useful filly. Good head second of 10 to Gregarina in Athasi Stakes at this course (7f, soft, 17/2) 20 days ago. Likely to give another good account of herself. Only just failed to match Gregerina over 7f here last time, needs more at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (14/1 -17%) Villanova Queen |
14/1(-17%) | (8) Villanova Queen 14/1, Useful mare. 16/1, 5 lengths fourth of 6 to Empress of Beauty in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 18 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Finished 5l behind runner-up Goldana on seasonal debut in a Listed race at Gowran. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (40/1 +20%) Girl Racer |
40/1(+20%) | (1) Girl Racer 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving William Haggas when very good third of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Gowran (7f, soft) 32 days ago. Hood on 1st time and she looks up against it raised in class here. Fair handicap run at Gowran on Irish debut, little apparent chance at these weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (14/1 +65%) Mammas Girl |
14/1(+65%) | (4) Mammas Girl 14/1, Useful filly at her best but there wasn't enough in her reappearance effort over C&D in March to suggest that she will play a leading role in this contest. Last year's Nell Gwyn winner, appears well held by Goldana on early-season course running. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand here and ROGUE MILLENNIUM may prove the pick of his trio. The Dubawi mare seems best suited by a mile and good ground, having won the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot last year and also filling the runner-up spot behind Tahiyra in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown, before being sold out of Tom Clover's yard for 1,650,000 guineas in December. Goldana had Villanova Queen five lengths behind when just touched off at Gowran last time, while Gregarina got up on the line to pip You Send Me by a head in the Group 3 Athasi Stakes over 7f here earlier this month.
All being well ROGUE MILLENNIUM should prove too strong for her eight rivals. She contested Group 1s after landing the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot last summer and may well kick on again this year now with Joseph O'Brien. Gregarina, one of two fellow representatives from the same yard, could be the one for the forecast, while Ocean Jewel and Orchid Bloom are other plausible candidates for minor honours.
Joseph O'Brien's 2024 recruit ROGUE MILLENNIUM (nap) sets a high standard based on her Royal Ascot win and Matron Stakes second

1st (2) (2/15 -86%) Fine Margin |
2/15(-86%) | (2) Fine Margin 2/15, Maiden who made a promising debut for the Willie Mullins yard when runner-up in a valuable Haydock handicap (24.2f, good to soft) earlier this season. Hasn't fired on either outing since but has found an excellent opportunity here. Yet to win but second in a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Haydock in November; hard to oppose. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (100/1 -52%) On The Nose |
100/1(-52%) | (6) On The Nose 100/1, Poor handicapper on Flat and no show so far over hurdles. Hard to make a case for. Inconsistent on the Flat and nothing in three previous goes over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (16/1 -60%) Oval Street |
16/1(-60%) | (4) Oval Street 16/1, Multiple point winner but only modest form over obstacles so far, runner-up at Plumpton last time. Needs to step up markedly. Second at Plumpton last time and strong claims for the runner-up spot again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/1 +42%) Bless The Moon |
7/1(+42%) | (5) Bless The Moon 7/1, Some promise in an Irish novice hurdle for Barry Fitzgerald 9 months ago and placed in a point last time, so seems the likeliest to capitalise if Fine Margin underperforms. Runner-up in a point last time; hard to see her winning but a good chance of being placed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (66/1 +18%) Diamond Monarch |
66/1(+18%) | (1) Diamond Monarch 66/1, Little show in Chepstow hurdles 11 months apart for Sam Thomas. Nothing in two starts over hurdles last year; transformation needed on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (200/1 +33%) He's A Steel |
200/1(+33%) | (3) He's A Steel 200/1, Didn't show much in points or a bumper at Ffos Las. Has left Ryan Potter prior to this hurdling debut. Poor in points and a bumper; debut for another new yard after 17 months off; no appeal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FINE MARGIN sets a lofty standard in this contest with a rating of 128 after finishing midfield in a Premier Handicap at Aintree last month. Willie Mullins' seven-year-old takes a drop in trip, which shouldn't pose him any problems, and he looks difficult to oppose. Oval Street produced a much better effort when finishing second over 2m at Plumpton last time and he looks the main danger, while Bless The Moon can prove best of the rest.
This looks no more than a formality for FINE MARGIN, who sets the standard and is fully expected to open his account. Bless The Moon is the likeliest winner if the favourite underperforms.
It's hard to oppose Willie Mullins' FINE MARGIN. Oval Street can beat Bless The Moon for the runner-up spot.

Everyday Champagne |
(6) (9/2 -13%)9/2(-13%) | (6) Everyday Champagne 9/2, First run since leaving Nicky Richards when bagging 12-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, good) in November. Got back on track under a positive ride returned to less testing ground when going down narrowly at this venue (23.4f, good) 18 days ago and not dismissed from the same mark. Back to his best when beaten a neck here (near 3m, good) 18 days ago, front-running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Impulsive One |
(1) (14/1 +0%)14/1(+0%) | (1) Impulsive One 14/1, Yet to score for current yard and was said to have suffered a breathing problem back over hurdles after 6 months off at Warwick (21f, good) just over 2 weeks ago. Much-reduced mark back over fences but tricky to assess at present. 5-17 hurdling (respiratory issue latest) but more to prove judged on his three chases. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) (4/1 +43%) Chapel Green |
4/1(+43%) | (5) Chapel Green 4/1, Made winning chase debut at Hexham in October and in cheekpieces, got back on track to some extent when fourth at this track in March. Possibly unsuited by conditions though his attitude could be more of an issue judged on his latest effort. Back up in trip. Defied 5lb higher at Hexham (1m7f, soft) in October on chase debut; not in that form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/2 +77%) Grand Voyage |
5/2(+77%) | (7) Grand Voyage 5/2, Long time without success and ran poorly kept to around 2½m when down the field at Perth 10 days ago. Back up slightly in trip which is sure to suit (was runner-up over C&D on penultimate start) and should be on the premises. On a losing run but, with a largely good overall record here, he's one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/2 +17%) Five Dollar Fine |
5/2(+17%) | (3) Five Dollar Fine 5/2, Finally managed to get off the mark under a more patient ride when winning at Hexham last month and followed up from a 9 lb higher mark back there (15.6f, good to soft) just over 2 weeks ago. Hiked back up in trip and there's every chance he can complete the hat-trick. Career-best efforts to win over about 2m at Hexham last two starts; earlier form up to 3m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (22/1 -83%) Hidden Commander |
22/1(-83%) | (4) Hidden Commander 22/1, Got back on track when landing back-to-back handicaps over this C&D and at Hexham during the autumn. Ran poorly under a more patient ride than usual after 5 months off when well held at this course (23.4f, good) and will need to leave that behind. Did little last three runs, latest here after 161-day break; plenty of success here though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (9/1 +10%) Castletown |
9/1(+10%) | (8) Castletown 9/1, Tricky character (resents use of whip) but capable when in the mood, as he demonstrated when landing a handicap chase at Perth last summer. Showed the benefit of a recent run over hurdles but still came up a little short here earlier this month and that's likely to be the case again. Veteran; nearly 6l behind Everyday Champagne last time, a step back in the right direction. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (12/1 +40%) Okavango Delta |
12/1(+40%) | (9) Okavango Delta 12/1, Not far off his hurdling best when runner-up on second chase start at Catterick in November but ran badly after 3 months off at Market Rasen (21.4f, good) just over 2 weeks ago. Others look stronger. Off 103 days before pulled up 16 days ago; sole win was in 2022 in first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (6/1 -71%) Go Boy |
6/1(-71%) | (2) Go Boy 6/1, Fair hurdles winner in Ireland and created a fine impression at second attempt over fences when making a successful stable debut at Carlisle (2m, soft) in December. Hasn't gone on in both subsequent starts though and returns 3 lb lower following a 2-month break. Won British debut; his step back up to 2m4f at Carlisle on latest start was disappointing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Narrowly denied over further here earlier in the month, EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE should be suited by dropping in distance slightly and he can strike for his in-form connections off his last winning mark. Success may come at the main expense of the hat-trick seeking Five Dollar Fine, who will need to prove himself over this trip after wins over 2m the last twice. Runner-up here on his penultimate start in March, Go Boy is another to consider.
FIVE DOLLAR FINE arrives in the form of his life, so Ann Hamilton's 9-y-o is fancied to defy another rise in the weights and complete the hat-trick at the expense of Everyday Champagne, who went down narrowly at this venue earlier in the month and should be bang there from an unchanged mark. Grand Voyage ran a cracker when runner-up on his penultimate start over C&D and he can edge out Go Boy for third spot.
Five Dollar Fine has to catch the eye but this is a marked step back up in trip and EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE looks a potent alternative.

1st (6) (17/2 -13%) Mcgowan's Pass |
17/2(-13%) | (6) Mcgowan's Pass 17/2, It's now 19 runs since his last win in 2020 but this veteran had been holding his form well prior to a below-par effort at Bangor last summer. After 9 months off, back on track when third at Southwell (20.4f, good) 19 days ago. Can give his running once more. Consistent veteran who should not be far away but he has not won since January 2020. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 -14%) Fourofakind |
4/1(-14%) | (4) Fourofakind 4/1, Fairly useful form on the Flat in Ireland and dual hurdle winner for this yard, the second success coming in a Hereford handicap (19.7f) in February. Bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up at Taunton (19f, good) last month and he's one to consider. Won in February and put two modest shows behind him when second at Taunton on latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/10 +37%) Big Blue Moon |
11/10(+37%) | (3) Big Blue Moon 11/10, Showed improved form sent handicapping last spring and left behind a pair of disappointing runs when getting back to winning ways at Warwick in April. Followed up at Hereford (19.7f, good) 19 days ago and he can make a bold bid for hat-trick. Has turned things round dramatically with wins at Warwick and Hereford; highly respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (8/1 -78%) Clondaw Royale |
8/1(-78%) | (1) Clondaw Royale 8/1, Has made an encouraging start over hurdles, well on top when winning a maiden at Bangor (19.6f) in December. Looked set to finish a clear second when falling 2 out in handicap at Warwick (26f, heavy) in March, so he enters calculations with tongue strap back on. Won a Bangor maiden (2m3f, soft); weakening when he fell two out in 3m2f Warwick handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (8/1 -78%) Touchy Feely |
8/1(-78%) | (2) Touchy Feely 8/1, Made a bright start to her hurdling career when winning her first 2 races. Down the field next 2 outings before failing to complete in a trio of handicap chases, but back over hurdles she ran well when fourth at Aintree (20f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Not discounted. Fourth of 14 back over hurdles at Aintree (2m4f, good) nine days ago was respectable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (18/1 +45%) Jac Jumper |
18/1(+45%) | (5) Jac Jumper 18/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles and fences in France but hasn't offered much in 3 starts for his current yard, sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy) on his latest outing. Looks to be up against it. Much better in C&D handicap (soft) latest, albeit still beaten about 17l in sixth of eight. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BIG BLUE MOON accounted for his nearest rival by just over a length in this grade at Hereford earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to only raise him 4lb for that triumph. Tom Lacey's seven-year-old could still be improving and he can complete the hat-trick. The main threat might be Touchy Feely, who finished fourth at this level at Aintree last time and she could get into contention off a 1lb lower mark, while McGowan's Pass hit the frame at Southwell on his latest outing and he also has to be respected.
BIG BLUE MOON has got back on the up with victories on his last 2 starts, jumping better switched to front-running tactics at Hereford 19 days ago, and he can continue his progress to land the hat-trick. Clondaw Royale was in the process of running well when falling late on at Warwick and could be the main danger, with Fourofakind also in the mix.
The top four are all considered for win purposes, with narrow preference for BIG BLUE MOON ahead of Fourofakind.

1st (7) (7/4 +61%) White Birch |
7/4(+61%) | (7) White Birch 7/4, Very smart colt. Winner of Group 3 Alleged and Group 2 Mooresbridge over C&D this season, beating the reopposing Lord Massusus by 3¾ lengths in latter. Should go well. Third in the 2023 Derby, has consolidated a strong profile with two 1m2f Pattern wins. |

2nd (1) (11/8 -73%) Auguste Rodin |
11/8(-73%) | (1) Auguste Rodin 11/8, Flopped in 2000 Guineas and King George but won all other outings at 3, namely Derby at Epsom, Irish Derby here, Irish Champion and Breeders' Cup Turf. Flopped again on Meydan reappearance but his record suggests he can bounce straight back. Head and shoulders superior to these, needs to repeat previous recoveries after Dubai flop. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (40/1 +20%) Crypto Force |
40/1(+20%) | (2) Crypto Force 40/1, Smart course winner. 50/1, 4 lengths seventh of 9 to Haya Zark in Prix Ganay at Longchamp (10.4f, soft) 28 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Smart juvenile in 2022, missed last year, too early to say if he can recapture best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7/1 -17%) Elegant Man |
7/1(-17%) | (3) Elegant Man 7/1, Highly promising sort who produced a really smart handicap performance when taking his career record to 3-4 (all AW) at Newcastle on Good Friday. Can make his presence felt in this much higher grade if as effective on turf. Has won three of his four starts all on AW, in at deep end for introduction to grass. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (10/1 -11%) Lumiere Rock |
10/1(-11%) | (8) Lumiere Rock 10/1, Smart filly. C&D winner. 194/10, good 3 lengths sixth of 12 to Inspiral in Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Santa Anita (10f, firm) when last seen in November. Won 1m2f Group 2 Blandford Stakes here last September, third in the Opera, seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (40/1 -21%) Hans Andersen |
40/1(-21%) | (4) Hans Andersen 40/1, Useful colt. Course winner. 8 lengths fifth of 6 to Passenger in Huxley Stakes at Chester (10.3f, good to firm, 11/2) 16 days ago, hampered. Plenty to find. Stiff task at this level after an indifferent run in the Huxley Stakes at Chester. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (50/1 -52%) Lord Massusus |
50/1(-52%) | (5) Lord Massusus 50/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Five wins from 16 runs. Good 3¾ lengths second of 5 to White Birch in Mooresbridge Stakes (20/1) here (10f, soft) 20 days ago but hard to see him turning the tables on that rival. Third to the 10lb-receiving Goldana at Leopardstown, no match for White Birch on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (33/1 -32%) Mashhoor |
33/1(-32%) | (6) Mashhoor 33/1, C&D winner. Five wins from 16 runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, 7½ lengths fourth of 6 to Passenger in Huxley Stakes at Chester (10.3f, good to firm, 14/1) 16 days ago. Down the field behind White Birch at this venue and fourth of six in the Huxley Stakes. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
WHITE BIRCH must turn around the Epsom and Irish Derby form with Auguste Rodin but has had a better preparation. Ground-versatile, he was beaten a little over five lengths by Auguste Rodin in the Derby and, while disappointing in the Irish version, he's looked better than ever this year. Auguste Rodin flopped for a third time in March's Sheema Classic and while two of those disappointments were on seasonal reappearances, he also failed in the King George last July. This race has been his target since Meydan and, while better can be expected, he needs his best to beat the selection in his current mood. Lumiere Rock finished third in October's Prix de l'Opera and is noted along with Elegant Man.
If AUGUSTE RODIN is on one of his going days he'll be hard to stop. Elegant Man jumps from a handicap to a Group 1 but it was some performance from him to defy a mark of 108 at Newcastle on Good Friday and he's feared more than White Birch, a winner of 2 pattern events over C&D already this season.
It is worth opposing the enigmatic Auguste Rodin with the Derby third WHITE BIRCH who has impressed with two Pattern wins this term

9/2(-125%) | (3) Call Off The Dogs 9/2, Missed whole of last year and has gradually recaptured his best this spring, resuming winning ways off a career-low mark at Fontwell 10 days ago. Player. Back to winning form here ten days ago and still well treated despite a 6lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (25/1 +24%) Royal Juniper |
25/1(+24%) | (4) Royal Juniper 25/1, Winner over fences at Wexford for A. J. Martin last summer but disappointed on final start for that yard and little encouragement to glean from hurdle runs for present connections. Three hurdle runs for this yard have been poor; the return to fences needs to revive him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/1 -14%) Hidalgo Des Bordes |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Hidalgo Des Bordes 4/1, Promising individual who found significant improvement when making a winning chase debut in 11-runner handicap at Exeter (17.5f, good) last month. Clearly wasn't 100% (reportedly made a noise) when turned out under a penalty soon after and worth another chance. Disappointed last time after an impressive chase debut; may have had excuses; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/8 +21%) Mister Upton |
11/8(+21%) | (5) Mister Upton 11/8, No great shakes over hurdles but much improved to make a winning start in this sphere over C&D 18 days ago. Had enough in hand to suggest he can defy an 8 lb rise. 8lb higher than when winning easily on chase debut over C&D last time; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (7/1 +50%) Shaw's Cross |
7/1(+50%) | (7) Shaw's Cross 7/1, Veteran who gained his first chasing success at Plumpton in January 2023. Rather hit-and-miss since but latest 12¾ lengths third of 9 to Mister Upton over C&D was one of his better efforts and is 12 lb better off with the winner here. 13l to find with Mister Upton on latest C&D running and 12lb pull is not enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (17/2 -6%) Blaze A Trail |
17/2(-6%) | (2) Blaze A Trail 17/2, Rattled off a 5-timer over fences in 2022 and he ran well on the back of 7 months off when second of 5 in handicap chase at Wincanton (15.7f) 35 days ago. Mark is steadily easing and he could be sharper with that run under his belt. Five-timer in 2022; second on his reappearance but probably needs to find a bit more. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Call Off The Dogs showed his quirks when whipping round at the start before scoring in decisive fashion over 2m2f here earlier in the month and he should put in a bold show off 6lb higher. However, the vote goes to MISTER UPTON, who made the perfect start to life over fences when scoring by over eight lengths over C&D last time. The five-year-old is only 8lb higher for that success and he could prove very hard to beat, while Shaw's Cross is another to consider.
MISTER UPTON is clearly much more at home in this sphere than he had been over hurdles given the manner of his ready chase-debut win over C&D 18 days ago and he can defy an 8 lb rise. Call Off The Dogs has gradually recaptured his best after an absence and rates the main threat ahead of Hidalgo des Bordes, who had excuses last time.
This can go to MISTER UPTON who put up a taking performance on his chase debut over C&D 18 days ago.

10/3(+26%) | (6) Well Educated 10/3, Confirmed previous encouragement when capitalising on a reduced mark at Hexham 5 days ago. This is much tougher under a penalty but he's still worthy of respect. Three 2m wins in 2022; winner over 2m4f on Tuesday; 7lb penalty; could go well back at 2m. |

3rd (3) (3/1 +57%) Caithness |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (12/1 +0%) Carcaci Castle |
12/1(+0%) | (4) Carcaci Castle 12/1, Bumper/dual hurdle winner who has disappointed on his last two chasing outings but could get back on track returning to this sphere after a break. C&D winner in 2022; mainly below form since but good 2nd in aids in February; bit to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (11/1 -57%) Cracking Destiny |
11/1(-57%) | (7) Cracking Destiny 11/1, Well served by test of speed when capitalising on reduced mark at Musselburgh (15.8f). Has shaped as if still in form since but hard to know what he's capable of returning to this sphere for the first time in a while. Won two h'cap chases last term; better treated over hurdles; conditions suit; interesting. |

7th (8) (11/1 -47%) Mister Moodles |
11/1(-47%) | (8) Mister Moodles 11/1, Made the frame both starts in bumpers last season and left hurdling debut form behind when landing a weak race at Doncaster (16.6f) in December. Progressed again when runner-up over same C&D next time then may have found the race coming too soon at Carlisle 80 days ago. Could get back on track. Won 2m novice (good) and interesting back on less testing ground on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
It is difficult to look past MACK THE MAN, who continues to go from strength to strength and an 8lb rise for his most recent success at Perth could prove lenient as he looks to make it three wins from his last four starts. Well Educated bounced back to winning ways with a determined performance over further at Hexham and he is likely to be thereabouts again, along with the capable Jungle Jack.
MACK THE MAN has thrived in a visor lately and had something to spare when scoring at Perth recently, so he's taken to go in again at the possible expense of Mister Moodles, who should get back on track after a break. Well Educated also merits consideration.
The one who makes most appeal is Doncaster novice winner, MISTER MOODLES who has ideal conditions for his handicap debut.

Eaton Collina |
(5) (15/2 -50%)15/2(-50%) | (5) Eaton Collina 15/2, Likeable sort who ran out a ready winner at Wetherby (19.4f) in February and battled well to edge a tight finish from 7 lb higher mark back at that venue 87 days ago. Handicapper applies a little more pressure now up in class but not discounted in hat-trick bid. Took form to new level when winning twice at Wetherby in February; respected. |

Mackenberg |
(1) (33/1 -136%)33/1(-136%) | (1) Mackenberg 33/1, Five-time winner over fences who was poised to get back on the scoreboard before unseating rider late on at Hereford (16f, soft) in March. Struggled in Red Rum at Aintree since but will find this much less demanding. Unlucky not to win at Hereford in March but struggled from early stage at Aintree in April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (2) (12/1 -20%) Your Darling |
12/1(-20%) | (2) Your Darling 12/1, Unreliable sort but he posted a career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Ascot (21f, good to soft) in November. Didn't take to the fences on first run since in the Topham at Aintree last month. Not one to rely upon heavily but his good Ascot win in November makes him of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/2 +64%) Mylesfromwicklow |
5/2(+64%) | (6) Mylesfromwicklow 5/2, Cost six figures after winning an Irish point and made a successful chasing debut at Huntingdon in November. Capitalised on the drop in grade fitted with a tongue strap at Market Rasen last time. More needed back at this level but remains unexposed. 2-5 over fences after small-field win in March; this is harder, but he still has potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/1 +0%) Glory And Honour |
11/1(+0%) | (4) Glory And Honour 11/1, Bagged his second chase win at Doncaster in December and not disgraced when third of 9 in better race than this at Sandown (20f, good) 29 days ago. Not ruled out with yard in good form. Progressive and largely consistent over fences for this stable; probably in the mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (14/1 -17%) Royale Margaux |
14/1(-17%) | (10) Royale Margaux 14/1, Prolific in France but winless for this yard. Ran better than for a while but again didn't really finish her race off when third at Cheltenham last month. Others more persuasive. Creditable second at Cheltenham in December but not in the same form again since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/2 +0%) Sageburg County |
11/2(+0%) | (7) Sageburg County 11/2, Three-time winner over fences last season, including at Chepstow last month. 5 lb rise demands more but he's a player. Career-best form when clearcut winner at Chepstow last month; now 3-7 over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (7/2 +30%) Malaita |
7/2(+30%) | (9) Malaita 7/2, Held her form well over fences last season and got off the mark in 4-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (20f, soft). Some improvement when following up at Cheltenham last month and this likeable mare should go well again. Ended last season in excellent form, winning at Ludlow and Cheltenham; commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (8/1 -33%) Numitor |
8/1(-33%) | (3) Numitor 8/1, Built on promising return when landing veterans chase at Haydock (19.9f, soft, 10/3) in March, finding plenty. Possibly found a third relatively quick run beyond him at Ayr since so worth another chance back from a short break. Didn't fire at Ayr last month but won valuable Haydock veterans' race in March; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (20/1 -67%) Hystery Bere |
20/1(-67%) | (8) Hystery Bere 20/1, Fairly useful hurdles scorer who made a winning start in this sphere in 4-runner handicap at Warwick a year ago. Mixed record since and just respectable third at Huntingdon latest. Posted sound effort when third at Huntingdon last month but this race is stronger. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A comfortable winner of a valuable mares' handicap at Cheltenham last time out, MALAITA should have plenty more to come despite a 7lb rise as she looks to land the hat-trick. Conditions should be in her favour and Mel Rowley's charge may have too much for Chepstow scorer Sageburg County, as well as Eaton Collina, who has also won his last two in this sphere. Hystery Bere and Mylesfromwicklow cannot be ruled out either.
This looks wide open with the vote going to NUMITOR, who remains on a workable mark and had excuses last time. Likeable pair Eaton Collina and Malaita head the dangers.
The feature race can go to bang-in-form mare MALAITA (nap), who kept on readily to collect a good prize at Cheltenham last month.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (7) (11/4 +45%) Fallen Angel |
11/4(+45%) | (7) Fallen Angel 11/4, Too Darn Hot filly who ended her excellent 2-y-o campaign with victory in the Group 1 Moyglare here (7f, good to soft). Closer to a strong pace than ideal when 4½ lengths eighth of 16 to Elmalka in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good) on reappearance 21 days ago. Could bounce back with a bang. Won Moyglare Stud Stakes here accounting for Vespertilio, disappointing at Newmarket. |

2nd (1) (12/1 -20%) A Lilac Rolla |
12/1(-20%) | (1) A Lilac Rolla 12/1, Took her record to 3-3 when winning 11-runner 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (7f, heavy, 9/2) 49 days ago by head from Kitty Rose. Likely capable of better again. Beat Opera Singer last season, still unbeaten after seasonal debut, capable of a big run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (7/2 -40%) Opera Singer |
7/2(-40%) | (9) Opera Singer 7/2, Created a very good impression when a 5-length winner of the Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp (1m, good to firm, 17/10) on her final 2-y-o start. There could be even more to come at 3. The one to beat. Ended juvenile season with a powerful display in the Prix Marcel Boussac, strong contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (18/1 -80%) Buttons |
18/1(-80%) | (5) Buttons 18/1, Thrice-raced winner. ¾-length second of 7 to Wendla in Cornelscourt Stakes at Leopardstown (1m, good to firm, 6/5) 14 days ago, conceding first run. Capable of better. Third to A Lilac Rolla in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown, modest gallop against her last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (8/1 +20%) Purple Lily |
8/1(+20%) | (11) Purple Lily 8/1, Latest win at Naas in March. ½-length second of 7 to Ezeliya in Salsabil Stakes (evens) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Remains capable of better now dropping back to 1m. Return to 1m should suit after Navan defeat at 1m2f, trainer also runs A Lilac Rolla. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (12/1 +0%) Azada |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Azada 12/1, 4/1, won 12-runner maiden at Leopardstown (7f, heavy) on debut in October. This a big ask on second start but her trainer and jockey are seeking a hat-trick of wins in this race. Looked potentially smart when scoring over 7f at Leopardstown at two, this is an ambitious. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (125/1 -25%) Queen Of Thunder |
125/1(-25%) | (12) Queen Of Thunder 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 4/6, second of 4 in minor event at Cork (7f, good to firm), clear of rest. Off 8 months. Uphill task. Placed on both starts at two, 82-rated filly can left out of calculations in this grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (12/1 +0%) Skellet |
12/1(+0%) | (13) Skellet 12/1, Kingman filly who went down only narrowly in 7f Newmarket Group 3 on her final 2-y-o start. Will stay at least 1m. Very much the type to keep on improving. Went close in Group 3 at Newmarket last October, has plenty to find at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (4/1 +27%) Vespertilio |
4/1(+27%) | (14) Vespertilio 4/1, Useful filly. Course winner. 17/1, good neck third of 15 to Rouhiya in Poule d'Essai des Pouliches at Longchamp (8f, good) on reappearance 14 days ago. Second to Fallen Angel in the Moyglare, strong chance after third in French equivalent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (125/1 -25%) Finsceal Luas |
125/1(-25%) | (8) Finsceal Luas 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable second of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago, no match for winner. Plenty to find on form. Dan won this in 2007 but she is still a maiden and is likely to be well out of her depth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (25/1 +0%) Everlasting |
25/1(+0%) | (6) Everlasting 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. Excellent length third of 7 to Ezeliya in Salsabil Stakes at Navan (10f, good to soft, 6/1) 29 days ago. One of 4 from the stable. Finished behind Purple Lily over 1m2f at Navan, making up the numbers for Ballydoyle here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (25/1 +0%) Alpheratz |
25/1(+0%) | (2) Alpheratz 25/1, 10/11, career best when winning 4-runner minor event at Killarney (1m, soft) 12 days ago, responding well. Faces a stiff task in this company, though. Found 7f inadequate when fifth to A Lilac Rolla at Leopardstown, 1m Killarney winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (33/1 -18%) Pearls And Rubies |
33/1(-18%) | (10) Pearls And Rubies 33/1, Useful filly. Excellent 1½ lengths second of 11 to Porta Fortuna in Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 33/1) when last seen in September. Significantly up in trip on return. Excellent second behind Porta Fortuna in the Cheveley Park, the trip may be an issue. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
OPERA SINGER was a top juvenile last year and while she missed the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket having met with a setback, it is encouraging she contests this Classic. By City Of Troy's sire Justify, she has her first run as a three-year-old and meets high-class, race-fit rivals, although she did win the Prix Marcel Boussac by five lengths last October and looks up to the task. Vespertilio finished a close third in the French equivalent and while she has proven recent form, she would probably prefer some cut in the ground. She was beaten by Fallen Angel here last September, but the UK raider does need to improve on her Newmarket exploits.
The manner in which OPERA SINGER demolished her field in the Marcel Boussac marks her down as a potential top notcher and she can provide Aidan O'Brien with an eleventh success in this race. Moyglare winner Fallen Angel can bounce back from a slightly disappointing run in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and provide the chief threat ahead of fellow British raider Skellet.
Third in the French 1,000 Guineas third VESPERTILIO gets the vote to reverse last season's Moyglare running with Fallen Angel

Bobalot |
(8) (14/1 +0%)14/1(+0%) | (8) Bobalot 14/1, Resumed winning ways back hurdling in 2¾m course handicap in January. Little to shout about since but is edging back down the weights as a result. Off same mark as when winning over C&D in January but not in the same form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (9) (7/1 +50%) Sam's Amour |
7/1(+50%) | (9) Sam's Amour 7/1, Third in a pair of handicaps around 19f in the autumn. Hasn't really fired since but mark is becoming more appealing. 0-9 under rules and enough to prove back from another three months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (6/1 +33%) Ballyfinn |
6/1(+33%) | (2) Ballyfinn 6/1, Runner-up in an Irish point and promising start when fifth in a warm Ascot novice in November. Disappointed since but good chance he can get back on track switched to handicaps. Has not built on a promising hurdles debut but may show more now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (17/2 -89%) Stowaway Jess |
17/2(-89%) | (4) Stowaway Jess 17/2, Bumper winner who opened her hurdling account in a weak race at Market Rasen (18.6f) last May. Yet to build on that but goes handicapping now. Market Rasen winner; probably needs to resume her progress up in trip on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (15/8 +25%) Midnight Gold |
15/8(+25%) | (6) Midnight Gold 15/8, Still not fully exposed and, having scored at Southwell a year ago, returned with another improved showing when second at Warwick. More to come and should take the beating in a first-time tongue strap. Ran well to finish second last time on her return from 11 months off; tongue-tie goes on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/1 -50%) Sambezi |
9/1(-50%) | (1) Sambezi 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler who took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Warwick a month ago and he's worthy of interest from a handy mark. Dual course winner; back in a 0-110 for the first time since winning easily a year ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (9/2 +25%) Alexandra Romanov |
9/2(+25%) | (3) Alexandra Romanov 9/2, Dual course winner who failed to build on a successful return at Warwick in September. Fresh from 6 months off and should be well tuned up, so one to note. C&D winner not seen in seven months but she is proven fresh; not dismissed easily. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (17/2 +23%) Illogical Logic |
17/2(+23%) | (7) Illogical Logic 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden who hasn't fired yet in handicaps but leaves the impression there's a bigger effort in him when the market speaks in his favour. Placed for the first time last month but still a long way behind the winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (50/1 -52%) Sermando |
50/1(-52%) | (5) Sermando 50/1, Fair handicap hurdler who ran poorly back from a 7-month break at Wincanton last time, leaving him with a bit to prove. It would have been preferable had he shown more last time after 224 days off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MIDNIGHT GOLD finished eight lengths clear of the third when runner-up in a class 5 event at Warwick on her latest outing and she is only 1lb higher for that performance. Neil Mulholland's seven-year-old remains fairly unexposed for her age and she could be ready to strike under Harry Cobden. The main danger might be Stowaway Jess, who makes her handicap debut after finishing a well-held fourth at Southwell last month and she could take a step forward. Of the remainder, Illogical Logic makes the most appeal.
MIDNIGHT GOLD is going the right way and a tongue strap may eke out further improvement, so she's preferred to Stowaway Jess, whose bumper form gives her some scope for better now handicapping. Ballyfinn is another interesting handicap debutant.
Preference is for MIDNIGHT GOLD (nap) who won in good style at Southwell last summer and finished second on her recent Warwick return.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (8) (10/1 -150%) Somebody's Fortune |
10/1(-150%) | (8) Somebody's Fortune 10/1, Placed in points and, while she's only hinted at ability in this sphere, there's plenty of scope for improvement now upped in trip with a visor on for handicap debut. Player. Makes handicap debut from lowly mark and may yet deliver on promise shown in Irish points. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3/1 -9%) Mistral Nell |
3/1(-9%) | (4) Mistral Nell 3/1, Latest win in hurdle at Catterick in December. Creditable second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good, 15/2) 19 days ago. Unexposed over this distance and worth chancing to go one better. Looked suited by step up to 3m1f when second at Hereford this month; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (15/2 -15%) Bright Sunbird |
15/2(-15%) | (5) Bright Sunbird 15/2, 28/1, first run since leaving Gary Hanmer when creditable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 16 days ago. Looked as good as ever and merits respect back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted. Made encouraging stable debut this month; back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted. |

4th (2) (12/1 -50%) Lone Star |
12/1(-50%) | (2) Lone Star 12/1, Had a productive time in 2022/23, scoring 5 times. Not quite in same form last campaign and failed to beat a rival at Stratford 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track upped in trip. Five wins in 2022-23 but drew a blank and became inconsistent last term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (6/1 +50%) Starlyte |
6/1(+50%) | (7) Starlyte 6/1, Made a winning return to hurdles for current yard at Newcastle in November 2022. In the frame 4 times from 6 starts in 2023/24, and performed respectably when ninth of 15 at this course last time. Can get involved if the race is run to suit. Made low-key return from seven-month break here 18 days ago; last win was in autumn 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (7/2 +71%) Blue Baloo |
7/2(+71%) | (3) Blue Baloo 7/2, Fairly useful in bumpers and made a successful debut over hurdles in 12-runner maiden at Newcastle (2½m, good to soft) in November. Below that level since though and has a bit to prove. Has gone the wrong way since winning hurdle debut in November. |

7th (6) (9/1 +44%) Aazza |
9/1(+44%) | (6) Aazza 9/1, Successful at Doncaster last January and largely in good form since. Rare poor effort at Ayr 78 days ago but likely to bounce back after a break. Was not firing on all cylinders last season and has more to prove than some of these. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (7/1 -100%) Melusine De Pail |
7/1(-100%) | (1) Melusine De Pail 7/1, Point winner who has shaped with encouragement on each hurdling outing, third at Chepstow on handicap debut last time. Not discounted. Placed on all four hurdling starts, the latest her handicap debut at Chepstow (2m7f). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although MISTRAL NELL was no match for an improver at Hereford, that was a creditable effort on her first attempt over 3m plus. Fergal O'Brien's mare could find further progress and she holds every chance of going one better off 1lb lower. Somebody's Fortune struggled in novice/maiden company, but it would come as no surprise were she to improve now pitched into handicaps. Melusine De Pail is nothing if not consistent and she's unlikely to be far away.
MISTRAL NELL arrives on the back of a solid showing at Hereford and there's potential for better from her as a stayer, so she's preferred to handicap debutante Somebody's Fortune. Bright Sunbird is also of interest on her second start for her current stable.
With cheekpieces refitted and Tabitha Worsley back in the saddle, BRIGHT SUNBIRD (nap) can build upon her encouraging stable debut.

5/1(+9%) | (5) Cokytho 5/1, Remains a maiden but was a fair performer in France and hasn't been disgraced in a handful of outings for current yard, latest when third in a chase at Southwell. Should be on the premises again. 0-17 over fences but placed twice this spring; tries a new trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4/1 +0%) Higgs |
4/1(+0%) | (6) Higgs 4/1, Has been unreliable in the past but looks resurgent at the moment, scoring again with something to spare at Ffos Las recently. Needs respecting in his hat-trick bid. Took a long time to get off the mark over fences but has won twice this month (once here). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (14/1 -87%) Walking The Walk |
14/1(-87%) | (3) Walking The Walk 14/1, Latest win in hurdle at Limerick in July. Not at best both starts since and has left Gordon Elliott (off 8 months) ahead of this return to chasing. Chase/hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott in early part of last season; stable debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/11 +39%) Next Left |
10/11(+39%) | (2) Next Left 10/11, Unexposed for this yard and justified strong support when landing a 5-runner event at Warwick 15 days ago. Can do better again and is fancied to follow up. Scored over 2m4f on recent chasing debut and can progress again over 3m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (9/1 -80%) Johnny B |
9/1(-80%) | (4) Johnny B 9/1, On a fair mark and bounced back when runner-up at Chepstow a month ago, so looks a player if he's able to back that up. Stayed on well to go close at Chepstow last month but is far too inconsistent to trust. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (66/1 -100%) Sporty Jim |
66/1(-100%) | (1) Sporty Jim 66/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who was pulled up on his first outing for this stable at this course last time. Plenty to prove and others make more appeal. Not much went to plan on recent stable/chase debut; others look much less risky. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This can go the way of the unexposed NEXT LEFT, who did it well when scoring comfortably on his chase debut at Warwick earlier in the month. A 5lb rise for that victory looks manageable and the step up in trip can bring about further improvement as he looks to get the better off C&D winner Higgs, who arrives on a hat-trick. Johnny B can have a say in proceedings as well.
NEXT LEFT was heavily backed when scoring at Warwick last time and probably has even more to offer for this stable, so he gets the nod over Higgs, who arrives on a roll. Cokytho is another one to consider.
Resurgent veteran HIGGS is thriving at the moment and might complete a quick hat-trick.

This is more demanding but the son of Too Darn Hot should improve now faced with a stiffer test. Winner of a maiden at Dundalk, decent prospect but has plenty to prove on seasonal debut. |

Up in trip and no more than an each-way squeak. Trip should not be beyond his range but needs to settle better, held by Norfolk Havoc. |

4th (8) (11/2 +21%) The Equator |
11/2(+21%) | (8) The Equator 11/2, Twice-raced winner. Won 9-runner maiden (7/2) at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 46 days ago, forging clear. Should progress but doesn't look the main Ballydoyle challenger on jockey bookings. Steps up in class after maiden win over this trip, Ryan Moore on the unexposed Mundi. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (33/1 -18%) Vestigia |
33/1(-18%) | (9) Vestigia 33/1, Fairly useful colt. Career best when winning 11-runner maiden (4/1) at Gowran (8f, heavy) 17 days ago. Shouldn't have any issues with this step up in trip but the strength of the opposition is another matter. Won a Gowran maiden on reappearance, this opposition looks much too strong for him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (14/1 -40%) Norwalk Havoc |
14/1(-40%) | (5) Norwalk Havoc 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 13/2, creditable length second of 5 to Bright Stripes in listed race at this course (8f, soft) 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt now upped in trip. Second to useful colt Bright Stripes in a 1m Listed race here early in the month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (13/2 -95%) Mundi |
13/2(-95%) | (4) Mundi 13/2, Highly promising type. Won 13-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f, 7/2) on debut 44 days ago, driven out. Open to significant progress now upped in trip in a race that his powerful connections have farmed in recent times. Should be ready for this rise in class and trip after Dundalk win, Ryan Moore's choice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (9/4 +44%) Spoken Truth |
9/4(+44%) | (6) Spoken Truth 9/4, Twice-raced winner. 13/8, won 11-runner maiden at Cork (10.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago, pushed out. This is far sterner test but he's well-bred and remains open to improvement. Better ground and the benefit of Cork maiden win can help to produce improvement. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SPOKEN TRUTH won the same Cork maiden that Dermot Weld's dual Derby winner Harzand landed in 2016. Those behind him at Cork haven't boosted the form but the son of Frankel remains a colt of some promise and his trainer believes he will improve for better ground. Aidan O'Brien runs three and Ryan Moore has plumped for Mundi. The brother to Churchill won a Dundalk maiden over a mile on debut but doesn't hold any notable entries in the coming months. Stablemate Chief Little Rock, twice runner-up in Group races last term, is highest-rated and ran well when third in a Listed contest at Epsom on his reappearance. Norwalk Havoc's pedigree suggests he may improve for this longer trip.
It looks significant that Ryan Moore has opted to ride MUNDI ahead of Chief Little Rock, who is a proven Group-class performer. Indeed, Mundi looked very promising indeed when landing a Dundalk maiden on debut last month and this superbly-bred colt possesses stacks of potential. Spoken Truth is also promising and he is third choice, albeit only marginally as there's another promising Ballydoyle colt on show in The Equator, while Norwalk Havoc and Stromberg are no back numbers either.
Moore is on Mundi but Wayne Lordan's mount CHIEF LITTLE ROCK was a good juvenile may not have done himself justice at Epsom

1st (2) (5/2 -11%) Doctor Foley |
5/2(-11%) | (2) Doctor Foley 5/2, Placed in Irish points and has proved a different proposition sent chasing, landing handicaps at Bangor (24f) and this C&D last spring. Lost his way after but back on track when third at Taunton last month and return to this trip will suit. Could be the answer. C&D winner a year ago and ran his best race since when third last time; major player. |

2nd (6) (12/1 +14%) Prince Cleni |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Prince Cleni 12/1, Little form over hurdles but did well over fences at the start of last summer, runner-up at Uttoxeter before going one better at Southwell (both at around 3m). Disappointing since, however. Has shown nothing since winning off 3lb higher at Southwell last summer; look elsewhere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (33/1 +34%) Friends Don't Ask |
33/1(+34%) | (1) Friends Don't Ask 33/1, Dual winner in 2021/22 for Martin Smith but doesn't seem to retain much ability these days. C&D winner, but has shown nothing in three starts for this yard after 22 months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (3/1 -20%) William Ewart |
3/1(-20%) | (3) William Ewart 3/1, Justified support when scoring for the first time over fences at Southwell (3m, heavy) in February. Not so good next 2 starts but returned to form when third in 15-runner handicap chase at Warwick (3m) 31 days ago. Considered. Running well since the autumn but he wouldn't want ground firmer than good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (8/1 -45%) Toad Of Toad Hall |
8/1(-45%) | (4) Toad Of Toad Hall 8/1, Successful twice here last year, including this race, but he ran poorly last 2 starts 7 months apart. Risky. Bolted up from the one other finisher in this race last year; 3-6 over fences around here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (3/1 +45%) He'llstopatthetop |
3/1(+45%) | (5) He'llstopatthetop 3/1, Maiden pointer who didn't figure in 3 starts over timber and was a similar story on debut over fences at Taunton in December. However, did offer some encouragement back from a break when fifth at Exeter last month and worth a try at this longer trip. 0-9 including four starts in points and little to suggest he is about to break his duck. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (14/1 +13%) Lough Salt |
14/1(+13%) | (7) Lough Salt 14/1, Successful twice in 3m handicap chases at Doncaster in early-2022. Form patchy since, though had no chance from miles out of the handicap last time. Record of 2-40 over fences suggests that others are more likely. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having returned to form with a staying-on third over an extended 2m5f at Taunton last month, DOCTOR FOLEY makes plenty of appeal returning to the C&D of his last success. Anthony Honeyball's gelding is taken to gain a career third victory, possibly at the main expense of William Ewart. The son of Sageburg lost little in defeat when hitting the frame in a 15-runner affair at Warwick in late April and a similar performance is sure to see him involved. He'llstopatthetop may chase the pair home.
DOCTOR FOLEY looked back on song when third at Taunton last month and can resume winning ways with the return to this longer distance in his favour. William Ewart arrives on the back of a decent third in a big field at Warwick and is next best.
The vote goes to C&D winner DOCTOR FOLEY who looked to be on the way back when third over an inadequte trip at Taunton last month.

Jeteye |
(3) (5/1 -82%)5/1(-82%) | (3) Jeteye 5/1, Runner-up on completed start in points and promise over hurdles, finishing second in 3m Southwell handicap last month. Inauspicious start to his chase career when pulled up there 12 days ago but no shock were he to bounce back with a bang in first-time cheekpieces. Flopped on recent chasing debut but has claims if judged on last month's good hurdle run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) (9/4 +44%) Baron Briggs |
9/4(+44%) | (5) Baron Briggs 9/4, Started last season with 3 consecutive third-placed finishes in handicap chases (including here) but pulled up at Carlisle when last seen at the end of March. Ryan Mania on the stable's other runner. Has jumping issues to address but is a big player if judged on last season's best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (15/2 +63%) Derwent Dealer |
15/2(+63%) | (7) Derwent Dealer 15/2, Just modest in bumpers and over hurdles and hasn't fared any better switched to fences after wind surgery this spring. Eight-race maiden who has made a shaky start to his chasing career. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (6/1 -33%) Toucan Sam |
6/1(-33%) | (2) Toucan Sam 6/1, Modest chaser who reverts to handicaps after finishing runner-up in 3m hunters at Hexham and Perth earlier this month. His mark looks workable based on the form he showed last time. Might be the answer. Second in two hunter chases this month; needs to prove he can cope with revised mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/2 -35%) Goodtimes Badtimes |
9/2(-35%) | (1) Goodtimes Badtimes 9/2, Off for nearly 2 years after finishing second here in May 2022. Well held in a recent comeback outing at this venue but that might have been needed and Ryan Mania seemingly prefers him to stablemate Baron Briggs now switching to fences for the first time. Soundly beaten in March after a long absence; makes chasing debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/2 +56%) Grand Du Nord |
7/2(+56%) | (4) Grand Du Nord 7/2, Fair maiden hurdler who was runner-up in a 3m Wetherby handicap last month but hasn't reproduced that form in 2 visits to Hexham since. Switches to fences for the first time now. Makes chasing debut after a layoff but went close off this mark over hurdles last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (13/2 +59%) Dark Duomo |
13/2(+59%) | (8) Dark Duomo 13/2, Poor maiden hurdler for Philip Hobbs & Johnson White and hasn't shown enough over hurdles/fences for present stable (tailed-off fourth last time) to make him of interest here. Did not show a great deal off lowly marks for Micky Hammond last season; now 0-12 overall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (50/1 -52%) Izzy Bell |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Izzy Bell 50/1, Has yet to better poor form over hurdles. Remains to be seen whether a switch to fences makes any difference. Has not shown much since her 250-1 third over hurdles last April; new trip for chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Better was clearly expected of Jeteye, who failed to make an impact on his chasing bow 12 days ago having been sent off as favourite. The Jet Away gelding was said to have been unsuited by easing ground conditions, though, so it will be interesting to see if his supporters return on a potentially quicker surface. GOODTIMES BADTIMES was a mixed bag over hurdles, but chasing ought to be more his thing and it is Sandy Thomson's charge who is taken to make a successful fencing debut. Toucan Sam heads the remainder.
TOUCAN SAM arrives in form and might prove the answer to this trappy-looking affair. Jeteye has a bit of a mixed record but his hurdle second last month shows he's capable from his mark and it wouldn't be any surprise were he to bounce straight back from his subsequent no show on chase debut. Goodtimes Badtimes is third choice.
He needs to brush up his jumping but BARON BRIGGS is given a tentative vote in this modest race. Jeteye is feared most.

Forget The Way |
(3) (3/1 -33%)3/1(-33%) | (3) Forget The Way 3/1, Won a 2m Worcester handicap for Alan King last summer. Back on track when third at Huntingdon on debut for this stable and may find more in a first-time tongue strap. Kept on well for third on recent stable debut; likely contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (7) (18/1 +45%) Chef De Troupe |
18/1(+45%) | (7) Chef De Troupe 18/1, Modest Flat/hurdles winner who was in good form when last seen over hurdles in 2022. Likely needed the run on the Flat recently but hard to know what he's still capable of in this sphere. Not seen over hurdles since 2022; others have much less to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/2 +44%) Homme D'un Soir |
5/2(+44%) | (1) Homme D'un Soir 5/2, Pretty useful hurdler/chaser for Stuart Crawford in his prime. Has hit the frame three times for this trainer, including when back to form at Warwick last time. Not dismissed. Ran well when fourth at Warwick three weeks ago and Sean Bowen is booked again here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/1 +38%) Skip Mahler |
10/1(+38%) | (4) Skip Mahler 10/1, First run since leaving Mrs Lorna Fowler when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Warwick (16f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Hood back on. This run should reveal more. Made low-key stable debut this month and now 0-11 over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (12/1 -60%) East End Girl |
12/1(-60%) | (6) East End Girl 12/1, Joined this yard from Lucy Wadham in the summer and won over hurdles at Hereford in October. Run of good form ended at Doncaster 149 days ago but could get back on track if she's ready to go. Won in the autumn but not seen since poor run in December; might find this too competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5/6 +59%) Kado De Joie |
5/6(+59%) | (5) Kado De Joie 5/6, French recruit who stepped up on his first 2 efforts over hurdles when winning a 5-runner Market Rasen juvenile in February. Firmly back on track when third in handicap at Warwick last time and this doesn't look as strong. Has performed well in both handicaps since his maiden win, and may still have potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 +0%) The Grey Falco |
12/1(+0%) | (2) The Grey Falco 12/1, A fair winning hurdler for Ben Pauling who didn't fire in 3 runs for Thomas Cooper but shaped as if a return to form might be near when fourth at Sedgefield 93 days ago. One to monitor in the betting. Makes stable debut from a workable mark but is tricky to weigh up at the moment. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having finished third over an extended 2m3f on his stable bow at Huntingdon earlier this month, Forget The Way must enter calculations returning to 2m. However, KADO DE JOIE's third-placed effort in a similar contest at Warwick could prove to be the stronger form. Nicky Henderson's gelding edges the vote and a second career victory likely beckons. Homme D'Un Soir was behind the selection in fourth that day and the eight-year-old is also noted.
KADO DE JOIE shaped well from an unpromising position when third at Warwick last time and there's more to come from him as a hurdler, so he takes preference over Forget The Way, who made a solid start for this stable at Huntingdon. The Grey Falco is also worth a mention on debut for a new yard.
Still on a workable mark after his pleasing stable debut, FORGET THE WAY could be hard to beat if that outing has brought him on.

11/2(+21%) | (3) Hanalia 11/2, Once-raced filly. 10/3, fourth of 8 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) on debut 18 days ago. Open to progress and should make her presence felt. Beaten 6l in fillies' maiden 18 days ago; probably not strongest maiden around. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2/1 +33%) Lily Hart |
2/1(+33%) | (4) Lily Hart 2/1, Once-raced filly. Tenth of 13 in maiden (25/1) at Dundalk (7f) on debut, merely passing beaten rivals. Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip and it's interesting that Ryan Moore partners her in favour of North Africa. 25s when 10th in 7f maiden; will relish the longer trip here and respected with Moore on. |

3rd (8) (8/1 -78%) Sidiza |
8/1(-78%) | (8) Sidiza 8/1, Sea The Moon filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner Sidiriya. Lots to like on paper and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. Sea The Moon filly; half-sister to 1m4f winner Sidiriya; dam 1m1f winner; check market. |

Obvious appeal on paper but jockey bookings suggest that she's the stable third-string. Justify filly; dam Group 3 winner and sister to Love; well bred but down the order. |

6th (2) (7/1 -17%) Cathedral Peak |
7/1(-17%) | (2) Cathedral Peak 7/1, Camelot filly. Dam, 7.5f/1m winner, half-sister to useful 6f-9.5f winner Greyfriarschorista. One to note in the betting. Camelot filly; dam Listed-placed; mix of speed and stamina in pedigree; check market. |

7th (6) (3/1 +33%) North Africa |
3/1(+33%) | (6) North Africa 3/1, Promising sort. 12/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago, running on. This Galileo filly will be much sharper this time and she looks sure to be involved in the finish. Probably did too much too soon when beaten 9l 2 weeks ago; can come on for that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (66/1 -65%) Sing A New Song |
66/1(-65%) | (9) Sing A New Song 66/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Cork (12f, good to soft, 80/1) 5 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Modest form in two starts so far and handicaps after this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SIDIZA, a half-sister to a 1m4f winner from the family of Sinndar, has obviously shown promise in her homework as she holds an entry in the Group 3 Munster Oaks at Cork next month and Dermot Weld's daughter of Sea The Stars can make a winning debut. Ryan Moore sets a poser by riding Lily Hart, unfancied when down the field at Dundalk on her sole outing at two, as opposed to North Africa who was green when showing mild promise at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. The latter holds the same Group 3 entry as the selection, and so too does claimer-ridden Pink Orchid who is a third runner for Ballydoyle. Gowran fourth Hanalia may improve for better ground.
Though passed over by Ryan Moore, NORTH AFRICA is nevertheless appealing on the back of her encouraging introduction at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. Moore's pick Lily Hart was never in the hunt on her sole 2-y-o start at Dundalk but she can be expected to leave that form well behind in time. Hanalia should build on her debut promise, while newcomers Cathedral Peak and Sidiza both need a close look in the betting.
NORTH AFRICA shades the vote with a recent run under her belt. That was an encouraging enough start, a 5th in an above average maiden

3rd (4) (9/4 +75%) Celtic Fortune |
9/4(+75%) | (4) Celtic Fortune 9/4, Placed 3 times on the bounce in handicaps at around 2½m at the start of last season. Below that level when fourth at Fakenham and here this spring but is down to a mark in the 80s for the first time and Harry Cobden takes over the reins now. Also tongue tied first time. 0-12 including in a point; the longer trip needs to make a difference; tongue-tie goes on. |

4th (1) (16/1 -14%) Seignor Gringo |
16/1(-14%) | (1) Seignor Gringo 16/1, Won a claiming hurdle in France but has failed to make a significant impact in 3 handicaps for this yard (well-held third on penultimate start). Remains to be seen whether the refitting of cheekpieces (for the first time in Britain) sparks a revival. Well held in three starts since joining this yard; needs to improve for the longer trip. |

|PU| (2) (3/1 -173%) Sandy Brook |
3/1(-173%) | (2) Sandy Brook 3/1, Struggled last season (mainly over fences) but showed he retains his ability when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Plumpton (25f) 14 days ago. Raised 7 lb but retains handicapping scope on old form. Flattered by winning margin at Plumpton last time but still high on the list on that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (12/1 -85%) Kapitaliste |
12/1(-85%) | (5) Kapitaliste 12/1, Losing run is mounting up but he did go close on a handful of occasions last summer and a recent comeback fourth to Sandy Brook at Plumpton was respectable. Might strip fitter now. 2-38 under rules; may have needed the run behind Sandy Brook at Plumpton last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (25/1 -150%) Glorious Mist |
25/1(-150%) | (7) Glorious Mist 25/1, Maiden pointer and poor form over hurdles. Latest 11½ lengths third to Sandy Brook at Plumpton was a bit more encouraging but she'll need more again to go close here. Third behind Sandy Brook at Plumpton last time; 2lb wrong but each-way claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SANDY BROOK justified strong support in the market when scooting clear of his rivals at Plumpton a fortnight ago. A 7lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable and the nine-year-old appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to follow up. The biggest threat may emerge from the Neil Mulholland-trained Celtic Fortune, who could improve for the rise in distance, while Danzini is entitled to build on last month's reappearance sixth at Taunton.
The booking of Harry Cobden for CELTIC FORTUNE catches the eye and he can bounce back to form and take advantage of his reduced mark. Recent Plumpton scorer Sandy Brook is the obvious danger.
Although flattered by the winning margin, SANDY BROOK still won with some authority at Plumpton a fortnight ago and can follow up.

5/6(+63%) | (5) Yippee Ki Yay 5/6, Four-time point winner who made a successful start to his hunter career at Exeter (2m) in March. Runner-up back at Exeter and at Cheltenham since. Sets a clear form standard. Winning pointer; has done well hunter chasing this year (2nd at Cheltenham last time). |

2nd (4) (20/1 -150%) Super Citizen |

Disappointing when pulled up at Wetherby next time but his latest 13¼ lengths third to Shanroe Street at Perth was creditable. The blinkers and tongue tie combination worn on that occasion is left off now. Ex-Irish; won four-runner event here in January; behind Shanroe Street at Perth last time. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (25/1 -56%) Watch Law |
25/1(-56%) | (11) Watch Law 25/1, Hit the target twice between the flags in the early part of last year but didn't achieve much when a well-held third in maiden here on his hunter debut and only third back in points since. Easy to look elsewhere. Dual point winner; 16l third in maiden hunter chase here last month; this looks tougher. |

5th (3) (13/2 -30%) Matts Commission |
13/2(-30%) | (3) Matts Commission 13/2, Didn't get very far in the Foxhunters' at Aintree and well below his best when a remote third at Hexham since. Bounce back needed. Prolific point winner; won under rules at Hexham last May; patchy form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (10/1 -150%) Shanroe Street |
10/1(-150%) | (1) Shanroe Street 10/1, 14 now but a recent Perth win shows there's still plenty of life in his legs. Second in this 12 months ago and another prominent showing is on the cards. Bounced back to win over 3m at Perth recently; yet to win here but was 2nd in this in 2023. |

|PU| (10) (25/1 +38%) The Macon Lugnatic |
25/1(+38%) | (10) The Macon Lugnatic 25/1, Fair chaser for Ben Pauling but ended his time with that yard on a low note and recent point efforts don't suggest he'll fare much better on this hunter debut. Became disappointing under rules; ordinary form pointing this term; others appeal more. |

|PU| (8) (100/1 -525%) Inviction |
100/1(-525%) | (8) Inviction 100/1, Fair hurdler for Joseph O'Brien. Winning pointer but pulled up on his course hunter debut just over a year ago. Did land another point success last month but only third of 4 in that sphere since. Others are preferred. Point winner last month (four finished) but well beaten in better company last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (100/1 -300%) Teds Charley Roe |
100/1(-300%) | (9) Teds Charley Roe 100/1, Finally got off the mark in points in February but it was a match race and he was a well-held third next time. Remote last of 4 on his course hunter debut 18 days ago. Outsider. Won two-runner point in Feb; not disgraced when last of four here latest; plenty to find. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
SHANROE STREET gets a confident vote. The veteran 14-year-old could only manage second in this last year, but he warmed up with a comfortable win at Perth 11 days ago and is potentially in better shape this time around. Yippee Ki Yay was a creditable second at Cheltenham last time out and he can go well, likewise Bothwell Bridge in a first-time tongue-tie.
YIPPEE KI YAY has made a promising start to his hunter career this spring and can see off this older opposition. Last year's winner Slievegar can follow him home ahead of Bothwell Bridge, prolific in points since joining Kelly Morgan, and in-form veteran Shanroe Street.
Progressive YIPPEE KI YAY has improved since hunter chasing and he is taken to beat the in-form pointer Bothwell Bridge.

Asa |
(7) (11/4 +0%)11/4(+0%) | (7) Asa 11/4, Regressive maiden who was well backed and duly ran better than for a while with positive tactics adopted for the first time for current connections when narrowly denied at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 3 days ago. Every chance she can go one better provided this doesn't come too soon. Beaten a short head at Market Rasen on Thursday; major player. |

1st (1) (5/4 +23%) Mr Hope Street |
5/4(+23%) | (1) Mr Hope Street 5/4, Looked a totally different proposition upped in trip after a 7-week break when scoring at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) last month, looking the sort who could rack up a sequence. 7 lb rise may not prevent him scoring again given how strong he was at the finish. Won at Market Rasen last month; 7lb higher, but probably still has plenty more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/2 +68%) Getaway With You |
7/2(+68%) | (8) Getaway With You 7/2, Hit and miss for Paul Webber but last seen running creditably when third at Huntingdon (20.7f, good to soft) a couple of months ago. Has since moved yards and more severe headgear is enlisted (first-time visor). Can feature from 2 lb out of weights. 0-11 but ran one of his better races when third last time; visor on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (17/2 -13%) If Karl's Berg Did |
17/2(-13%) | (5) If Karl's Berg Did 17/2, Took advantage of his falling mark when finally opening his account in 5-runner handicap at Fakenham (23.4f) last June and followed up returned to a shorter distance at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) the following month. Returns from 4 lb higher and has since switched yards for just 2,800 gns. Won his last two starts for Milton Harris last summer; absence and soft ground the worries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (3/1 +33%) Ushuaia Dancer |
3/1(+33%) | (4) Ushuaia Dancer 3/1, Bounced back to his best when runner-up at Stratford (22f, good) earlier this month, though again rather promised more than he delivered. Each-way claims if in the same mood. 0-8 under rules but runner-up in two of his last four starts; one for the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 +0%) Well Vicky |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Well Vicky 14/1, Won her first 3 handicaps in 2022/23, completing a quick-fire hat-trick at Plumpton (2m) last February. Shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off when well beaten at Warwick recently but has a long way to go to recapture her old form. Handicap mark in freefall. Completed a hat-trick early last year, but the wheels have come off since; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 +34%) Fort Nelson |
33/1(+34%) | (6) Fort Nelson 33/1, Little worthwhile form over hurdles, including in handicaps, and was soon detached sent chasing at Bangor (17.4f, good) 8 days ago. Easily opposed back hurdling. Hasn't finished within 19l of the winner in ten starts under any discipline. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (33/1 +50%) Nick The Greek |
33/1(+50%) | (2) Nick The Greek 33/1, Caused a surprise on first run since leaving Olly Murphy when landing a weak novice at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) in February, belying odds of 40/1 in the process. All 3 subsequent efforts have been poor, so needs first-time cheekpieces to spark a revival back in a handicap. Won on stable debut in February, but nothing like that form since; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The hat-trick seeking If Karl's Berg Did was heading in the right direction last summer and he warrants respect racing off only 4lb higher in the ratings. Preference, however, is for fellow last-time-out winner MR HOPE STREET. A rise in distance unlocked significant improvement in Dan Skelton's charge and his revised mark may not be the ceiling of his ability. Ushuaia Dancer and Asa are also noted.
A few in with a squeak but MR HOPE STREET looked a totally different proposition upped in trip when getting off the mark at Market Rasen last month and with further improvement on the cards, Dan Skelton's charge can defy a 7 lb rise at the expense of Asa, who was very well backed and went down by just a short-head at that same course on Thursday. Getaway With You has joined an up-and-coming yard and he gets the vote for third.
This can go to MR HOPE STREET who shaped as though he has more to offer when off the mark at Market Rasen last month.

Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. 50/1, twentieth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft) 26 days ago, going in snatches. Makes handicap debut. Struggled over hurdles recently but won a maiden when last seen on Flat; decent mark. |

1st (11) (20/1 -25%) Fairytale Princess |
20/1(-25%) | (11) Fairytale Princess 20/1, Latest win at Dundalk in November. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Roscommon (12.1f, good, 12/1) 6 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won 3 on AW at end of last year; 0-8 on turf; respectable return but stamina to prove. |

2nd (14) (10/1 +29%) Grappa Nonino |
10/1(+29%) | (14) Grappa Nonino 10/1, C&D winner. 9/1, eighteenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Stable having good spell. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. C&D winner last summer; didn't manage to build on that at 2m; needs to be back to best. |

3rd (19) (14/1 +30%) Rain |
14/1(+30%) | (19) Rain 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good 2¼ lengths fourth of 19 to Nostra Casa in handicap at Navan (13f, good to soft, 11/1) 29 days ago, running on. Another with each-way claims. Running well in defeat of late but 5lb wrong for this tough assignment. |

4th (6) (4/1 +0%) Bay Of Sanibel |
4/1(+0%) | (6) Bay Of Sanibel 4/1, Promising type. 2/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft) 19 days ago, sticking to task. More to come and big player again. Won 2 of last 3 starts, both at 1m6f at Navan and good value for winning margin latest. |

5th (4) (18/1 -13%) Last Ammo |
18/1(-13%) | (4) Last Ammo 18/1, Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Killarney (16.8f, soft, 11/1) 12 days ago. Place possibilities. Bit below form in 3 runs this year; distant 3rd latest and same mark; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (14/1 -17%) Nostra Casa |

7th (10) (11/2 +45%) The Banger Doyle |
11/2(+45%) | (10) The Banger Doyle 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 17f in chases. Good second of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Killarney (16.8f, soft) 12 days ago, slowly away. Hood on 1st time on the Flat. Okay 2nd at Killarnye last week and fair mark; drop in trip may be against him though. |

Significantly up in trip. Visor on 1st time. Won twice on AW this winter but has stamina to prove at this sort of trip; visor on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (16) (20/1 -82%) Bold Approach |
20/1(-82%) | (16) Bold Approach 20/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2019. Good third of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Leopardstown (12f, good) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt. Only Flat win came in Feb' 2021; hit the frame at Leopardstown last week but this is tough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (40/1 -21%) Cougar |
40/1(-21%) | (3) Cougar 40/1, Course winner. Nineteenth of 20 in handicap at Galway (16.8f, heavy, 18/1). Off 10 months. Others more persuasive. Interrupted career since leaving Aidan O'Brien; tailed off latest and off another 300 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (100/1 -52%) Mt Leinster |
100/1(-52%) | (1) Mt Leinster 100/1, Course winner. 14½ lengths seventh of 8 to Bay of Sanibel in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft, 125/1) 19 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Struggled back on the Flat last time and seems on a stiff enough mark at this point. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (11/1 -38%) The Mediator |
11/1(-38%) | (13) The Mediator 11/1, Promising sort. Useful winner at 17f in bumpers. 1½ lengths fourth of 15 to Bay of Sanibel in maiden (5/2) at Navan (14f, heavy), running on. Off 7 months ahead of this belated handicap debut but he's a player all the same. Won bumper on 2021 debut; no wins since but running well in maidens when last seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (15) (33/1 +0%) Queenie St Clair |
33/1(+0%) | (15) Queenie St Clair 33/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, good, 33/1) 9 days ago, suited by way race developed. Significantly up in trip. 7f winner last season; hasn't kicked on this campaign and tough ask over this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (18) (100/1 +0%) Spanish John |
100/1(+0%) | (18) Spanish John 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Modest winner at 17f over hurdles. Twelfth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (14f, heavy, 66/1) 17 days ago. Very hard to make a case for. Struggled for form in both sphere since winning over hurdles last summer; 4lb wrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (12) (100/1 -150%) Snapius |
100/1(-150%) | (12) Snapius 100/1, 22/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) 63 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Fairly useful on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Looks competitive on form. 9th in this last year and out of form in recent times. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Fourth in the Fred Winter, HARSH has risen to a hurdles mark of 128 after winning a competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival and looks nicely treated on the level. He's had only five starts in this discipline and is likely to be suited by stepping up in trip. Bay Of Sanibel is a proven stayer and is only 4lb higher than when scoring at Navan. She was value for more than the winning margin and, like the selection, is open to more improvement. Bumper winner The Mediator showed promise in Flat maidens last year and has a massive pull at the weights with Bay Of Sanibel compared to a clash at Navan in October.
BAY OF SANIBEL stuck to her task well when scoring at Navan recently and a 4 lb rise looks very fair indeed. She is taken to see off Harsh and The Mediator, both of whom are open to improvement. Bold Approach took a step back in the right direction at Leopardstown and he is also accorded respect, along with Valleyoftheeagles.
This can go the way of the unexposed BAY OF SANIBEL who has won 2 of her last 3 and a 4lb rise for her latest success looks lenient

1st (3) (15/8 -7%) Cawthorne Banker |
15/8(-7%) | (3) Cawthorne Banker 15/8, Fairly useful bumper performer who has improved over hurdles since handicapping and fitted with cheekpieces, winning at Kempton last month and better than result when second at Ludlow since. Can show he's still on a good mark and gets the vote. In good form lately, winning at Kempton and possibly unlucky not to follow up at Ludlow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/2 +0%) Happy Boy |
5/2(+0%) | (1) Happy Boy 5/2, Came good at the fourth attempt over hurdles when cosily making a winning handicap debut back from 13 months off at Kempton (2m, good) in April. Respectable fifth at Uttoxeter since. Should go well. Won well on his Kempton return and possible excuses for his Uttoxeter defeat; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7/1 +50%) Sarsen |
7/1(+50%) | (6) Sarsen 7/1, Placed twice in maiden hurdles for Alan King in summer 2022 but unable to make an impact in 3 starts for this yard. Needs first-time blinkers to make a difference. Early promise over hurdles for Alan King but has gone the wrong way; blinkers go on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (18/1 -13%) Got Grey |
18/1(-13%) | (4) Got Grey 18/1, Modest maiden hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Showed promise for new yard when fourth of 14 in novice at Taunton (16.5f, soft) last month but could only manage a remote fourth back in a handicap at Hereford since. Taunton fourth at 250-1 on penultimate start is starting to look flattering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/1 +50%) Eventful |
11/1(+50%) | (7) Eventful 11/1, Took well to refitted blinkers/back from 5 months off when doubling tally at Southwell in November 2022. Struggled to make an impact in just 4 subsequent outings and now goes without headgear. Dual hurdles winner in 2022 but has lost her way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (18/1 -177%) Baikal |
18/1(-177%) | (5) Baikal 18/1, Won a maiden and handicap over 2m in the first half of last season and should be sharper for a recent run on the Flat at Newbury. Two wins over hurdles last year and recent Flat return should have put him straight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (8/1 -23%) Beat The Heat |
8/1(-23%) | (2) Beat The Heat 8/1, Bagged 3 handicap hurdles here in 2022 and, fit from the Flat, he put in a good shift when third of 12 here in October. Well held in both codes since, though may have needed the outing back on the AW latest. Record here reads 431113 but this trip on drying ground is not sure to be enough of a test. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (33/1 +18%) Privatory |
33/1(+18%) | (8) Privatory 33/1, Dual 2m winner early in his career but tumbling in the weights without looking up to taking advantage. Pulled up both starts for this yard in recent weeks. Very much on the downgrade; addition of a tongue-tie needs to have a dramatic effect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although failing to follow up when runner-up at Ludlow earlier in May, CAWTHORNE BANKER lost little in defeat on that occasion. The Flemensfirth gelding should find a 1lb higher mark workable and compensation could beckon. Happy Boy posted a respectable fifth at Uttoxeter recently and he may find that this sharper course suits better if adopting similar front-running tactics. Chris Gordon's charge is feared most, ahead of Sarsen, who could bounce back to form in first-time blinkers.
CAWTHORNE BANKER went close at Ludlow recently despite things not going his way and can show he's still on a good mark. Happy Boy is next best ahead of Baikal.
The vote goes to CAWTHORNE BANKER who won well at Kempton and may have been unfortunate not to follow up at Ludlow.

5/4(+44%) | (1) Gale Mahler 5/4, Built on promising debut when landing Southwell bumper in first-time cheekpieces 3 weeks ago, showing an encouraging amount of speed for one bred more for stamina. Good shout under penalty. One of two to pull nicely clear of the others when winning at Southwell this month. |

2nd (2) (11/4 -46%) Beau Della |
11/4(-46%) | (2) Beau Della 11/4, Improved on debut form under less testing conditions when second at Hexham, beaten only by one who was played even later in a strongly-run affair. Clearly has one of these in her. Belied 40-1 odds and ran big race in defeat at Hexham a fortnight ago; good chance here. |

3rd (6) (33/1 +0%) Lewesdon Dancer |
33/1(+0%) | (6) Lewesdon Dancer 33/1, Dragon Dancer mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Quest For Life, stays 3m, and fairly useful chaser Art Decco. Dam winning pointer. Half-sister to a useful jumper but probably best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (66/1 -371%) Misaura |

12/1(-33%) | (10) Lizzie Luna 12/1, 22/1, showed some promise on debut at Musselburgh 7 weeks ago, shaping better than the bare result. Shaped with some promise when fifth of six at Muselburgh but others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (66/1 -32%) Catcha Flight |
66/1(-32%) | (7) Catcha Flight 66/1, Lucky Speed filly. Dam unraced. Second foal from a unraced dam; stable 0-34 in bumpers during last five seasons. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (28/1 +15%) Dear Dot |
28/1(+15%) | (4) Dear Dot 28/1, Millenary mare out of dam lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (winner around 2m) Sweet Senorita and ungenuine/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Twenty Degrees, out of prolific winning hurdler (stayed 2½m) Sweet N' Twenty. First foal; dam remote third in a bumper; yard has modest bumper strike-rate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (12/1 -50%) Genies Girl |
12/1(-50%) | (5) Genies Girl 12/1, Half-sister to bumper winner/fair 23f hurdle winner Olivers Travels. 33/1, offered a bit to work on behind Gale Mahler on debut at Southwell. Just a respectable sixth behind Gale Mahler on recent debut but can build on that effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (100/1 -52%) Crafty Dancer |
100/1(-52%) | (8) Crafty Dancer 100/1, 66/1, never landed a blow on debut at Perth last month. Well down the field when 66-1 for last month's debut at Perth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (16/1 +20%) Bellmount Lady |
16/1(+20%) | (3) Bellmount Lady 16/1, €16,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson mare. Half-sister to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Aikman and useful 2m hurdle winner/21f chase winner Lockstockandbarrel. One to note. Half-sister to four useful jumpers but stable not known for bumper winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (12/1 -50%) Jo Jo Binks |
12/1(-50%) | (9) Jo Jo Binks 12/1, Linda's Lad filly. Dam useful 19f-2¾m hurdle winner. Dam late-maturing but ultimately useful hurdle winner; Brian Hughes booked for debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Gale Mahler was on target at Southwell earlier this month and she is a leading contender, although the daughter of Mahler might struggle to concede 7lb to BEAU DELLA. Iain Jardine's mare hit the front going easily at Hexham 15 days ago, before fading into second, and any further improvement can see her go one better. Lewesdon Dancer, a half-sister to two winners including bumper scorer Quest For Life, warrants a betting check ahead of her racecourse bow.
GALE MAHLER did it comfortably at Southwell and can defy a penalty. Beau Della has one of these in her and is feared, while Bellmount Lady is a newcomer to note.
Preference is for BEAU DELLA, who swept to the front and looked the likely winner before succumbing to a strong finisher at Hexham.

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.
