---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (8/11 +20%) Unthinkable |
8/11(+20%) | (5) Unthinkable 8/11, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5f, 4/1) 16 days ago. The one to beat in this lower grade. Sets clear standard on her second at Leicester and has strong claims back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (25/1 -14%) Lucky Lottery |
25/1(-14%) | (7) Lucky Lottery 25/1, 66/1, last of 15 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 9 days ago. Can't make a case for her on that effort but booking of Hollie Doyle takes the eye. Big price on her Windsor debut (6f) last week and she finished a tailed-off last of 15. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/1 -13%) Iwo Jima |
9/1(-13%) | (6) Iwo Jima 9/1, Twice-raced maiden. 5/1, fourth of 5 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good) 12 days ago. Could play a part. Well-held fourth in two 5f events, with RPRs in the 40s on both occasions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/1 -38%) Bungle Reigns |
11/1(-38%) | (1) Bungle Reigns 11/1, Foaled January 19. Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Half-brother to US 5.5f-1m winner John Paul Jones and 1m winner Katie's Kitten. Dam winner around 1m in US. The betting should help guide to expectations. Yard had a well-backed 2yo debut winner last week and he needs watching in market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (9/2 +0%) Stat Goddess |
9/2(+0%) | (4) Stat Goddess 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Improved second of 4 in maiden at Catterick (5f, soft) 6 days ago. Should be bang there. Improved form when second of four behind easy winner at Catterick last week; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/1 +0%) Cheerleader |
11/1(+0%) | (3) Cheerleader 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. Failed to build on Wolverhampton debut fifth when last of 7 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good, 15/2) 29 days ago. Top stable quick to drop her into a claimer. In good hands and still very early days but she needs major improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (80/1 -142%) Love Plus One |
80/1(-142%) | (8) Love Plus One 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 10 in maiden (50/1) at Redcar (6f, good) 9 days ago. First-time blinkers need to transform her. Finished last in both her starts; blinkers are now added and she needs a transformation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (33/1 -106%) Captain Bremner |
33/1(-106%) | (2) Captain Bremner 33/1, Foaled February 25. Fastnet Rock gelding. Dam maiden (stayed 7f) half-sister to winner up to 7f Tropical Paradise and 5f-7f winner Harlem Shake (both smart). Check the betting. Has quite a bit of speed in his pedigree and interesting to see how he figures in market. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
This does not appear to be the deepest of contests and that could provide UNTHINKABLE with a solid chance of breaking her maiden. The daughter of Kessaar has produced a consistent level of form across her three starts so far and any further improvement could make her difficult to beat. Stat Goddess, runner-up at Catterick six days ago, looks to be the main danger, while Cheerleader rates best of the rest.
This looks a good opening for George Boughey's UNTHINKABLE. Craig Lidster pair Stat Goddess and Iwo Jima may give her most to think about.
It's hard to get away from UNTHINKABLE, who sets a clear standard on her second at Leicester and should be hard to beat back on turf.

1st (6) (9/4 +10%) Sir Yoshi |
9/4(+10%) | (6) Sir Yoshi 9/4, Promising sort. 10/3, third of 12 in maiden at Cork (5f, good) 19 days ago, again shaping well, still rough around the edges and open to further improvement. Lots to like. Clearly the best form of those to have run, big chance if handling softer ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/1 -20%) Passing Phase |
9/1(-20%) | (3) Passing Phase 9/1, Twice-raced colt. 4/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Chester (6.1f, good) 20 days ago. Return to 5f may suit but needs to improve to play major role. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/1 +44%) Rudi's Apple |
5/1(+44%) | (5) Rudi's Apple 5/1, Foaled May 5. 50,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never colt. Brother to 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Never Fear and half-brother to 3 winners, including 1¼m-2m winner The Vegas Raider and 1½m winner Ready To Shine. One of two newcomers for the yard, market should tell us a lot about their chances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (33/1 -50%) Gangsta Man |
33/1(-50%) | (1) Gangsta Man 33/1, Thrice-raced colt. Third of 8 in maiden (33/1) at Navan (5.8f, good) 11 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Navan third a step in the right direction but lot more likely required to play a role. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/4 -120%) Hunting Song |
11/4(-120%) | (2) Hunting Song 11/4, Foaled February 6. No Nay Never colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 6f winner The Irish Rover and closely related to useful winner up to 8.6f West Palm Beach. Obvious claims first time up. Obvious appeal although yard's juveniles come on a lot from their debuts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (12/1 +25%) Womp Womp |
12/1(+25%) | (7) Womp Womp 12/1, Foaled March 21. $40,000 yearling, Caravaggio colt. Dam unraced. One to take seriously on debut. US-bred with a dirt pedigree; soft ground may not be ideal on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (5/1 +9%) Political Power |
5/1(+9%) | (4) Political Power 5/1, Fair colt. 29/10, fourth of 7 in maiden at Chantilly (5f, heavy) 55 days ago, very green. Should progress. Showed inexperience but some ability on Chantilly debut; seems sure to improve. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The market should be very informative ahead of this juvenile maiden. HUNTING SONG is certainly a debutant of interest. Aidan O'Brien's No Nay Never colt is a brother to a Listed-placed horse and holds a Group 2 Railway Stakes entry at the Curragh next month. Sir Yoshi's second in Dundalk and third in Cork read well and, if he handles the slower ground, he would have every chance. Political Power kept on well for fourth on debut on heavy ground in Chantilly, which will really stand to him. Joseph O'Brien introduces two colts and his Rudi's Apple made 140,000gns at a breeze-up sale, while the twice-raced Passing Phase is another to note.
SIR YOSHI has more to offer and looks the way to go. Newcomers Hunting Song and Womp Womp are respected.
A tentative vote goes to the Ballydoyle debutant HUNTING SONG, with Political Power and Sir Yoshi big threats

King Of York |
(8) (22/1 -38%)22/1(-38%) | (8) King Of York 22/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. 14/1, respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at this course (8.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago. 0-11 on turf and he never threatened over 8.5f here two weeks ago; others are stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Visibility |
(3) (33/1 -32%)33/1(-32%) | (3) Visibility 33/1, Unreliable individual. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7f, 18/1) 31 days ago, making good late inroads after very slow start. Engaged 4.15 Brighton Tuesday. Chance on this year's AW best; well held at Brighton on Tuesday; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) (6/5 +31%) Powdering |
6/5(+31%) | (5) Powdering 6/5, On a roll at present, winning over C&D at the start of this month. Went in again at Newmarket 11 days later and even a further 6 lb rise may not prevent her making it 4 wins in her last 5 starts. Two easy wins this month, including C&D; up in weights but can't ignore in current form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (13/2 -86%) Evocative Spark |
13/2(-86%) | (2) Evocative Spark 13/2, C&D winner. 12/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Chester (7f, good) 21 days ago, finishing well. Respected. C&D winner; good 3rd at Chester last time and he's on a good mark; each-way shout again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (13/2 -8%) Albeseeingyer |
13/2(-8%) | (7) Albeseeingyer 13/2, Won 5 7f handicaps in a row between summer 2022 and spring 2023. Absent since a midfield finish in a York handicap a year ago. Probably still on a workable mark if she's fully primed for this reappearance. Won 5 in a row before midfield finish at York 368 days ago; still has mileage in her mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (14/1 +0%) Hougoumont |
14/1(+0%) | (9) Hougoumont 14/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft, 10/1) 38 days ago, not much room. First run for yard after leaving Julie Camacho. Needs a couple of these to falter. Yet to win a handicap but his penultimate Chelmsford 3rd was a good effort; stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5/1 +9%) Challet |
5/1(+9%) | (1) Challet 5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Possibly needed run when bit below form ninth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good, 16/1) on reappearance 12 days ago. No surprise were he to go well down in grade. On a losing run but down in weights and recent return was promising; tricky draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (9/1 +36%) Mickey Mongoose |
9/1(+36%) | (10) Mickey Mongoose 9/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. 40/1, good fourth of 15 in handicap at this course (8.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago. 66-1 AW win in March (1m) and he ran okay over 8.5f here latest; others are more solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (22/1 +12%) El Montejean |
22/1(+12%) | (6) El Montejean 22/1, Won over 6f at Pontefract at the end of last summer but well held in 2 comeback runs this year. Ended 2023 with a 6f win but well beaten in two runs this year; too much to prove for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (33/1 +0%) Touchwood |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Touchwood 33/1, 25/1, last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago. Bounce back needed. Needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Kempton three weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (25/1 +38%) Temper Trap |
25/1(+38%) | (11) Temper Trap 25/1, Step back in the right direction when seventh of 14 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 33/1) 16 days ago. Now below last winning mark. Never won before July but his latest effort was more encouraging; back up in grade today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The draw has been kind to recent C&D winner POWDERING, who won with plenty in hand at Newmarket 12 days ago. A subsequent 6lb rise could be lenient and the daughter of Ribchester is taken to complete her hat-trick. Evocative Spark drops in class having hit the frame from an unpromising position at Chester three weeks ago and he is a real danger, along with fellow class-dropper Challet.
POWDERING won nicely again at Newmarket and might still be a step ahead of the handicapper. Evocative Spark ran well at Chester last time and is second choice, while Challet has gone a while without a win but is a potential class act in a 0-75.
Evocative Spark is a key player back down in class but the thriving POWDERING may have his measure today.

1st (1) (5/4 +23%) Cindysox |
5/4(+23%) | (1) Cindysox 5/4, Far from disgraced in bumper at Uttoxeter on debut in October 2022 and offered something to work on sent hurdling after 19 months off when third of 6 in novice at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) just under 5 weeks ago. Expected to build on that. One of the better options here after finishing third at Huntingdon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/4 -119%) Walk Of The Roses |
7/4(-119%) | (6) Walk Of The Roses 7/4, Showed a good attitude when making a successful start in a 6-runner bumper at Ffos Las 12 months ago and ran to a similar level under a penalty when runner-up at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) a month later. Plenty to like on hurdles debut provided she's ready to roll. Bumper winner; ground is an unknown but found a weak race for hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 +58%) Hurst Hill |
14/1(+58%) | (4) Hurst Hill 14/1, Unplaced in a couple of point bumpers and looked badly in need of the experience on her hurdling debut at Fontwell (17.7f, good) just less than 2 weeks ago. Likely she'll need more time. Well beaten in two point bumpers and again at Fontwell when just behind Hallowed Rose. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (16/1 -33%) My Mate Polly |
16/1(-33%) | (7) My Mate Polly 16/1, No promise in bumpers but showed more than previously in this sphere when fourth in a juvenile at Hereford last month (had the run of things). Unseated rider first on handicap debut since. Some improvement at Hereford but then departed early on h'cap debut when 100-1. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/1 +68%) Hallowed Rose |
7/1(+68%) | (3) Hallowed Rose 7/1, 0-13 in the pointing field and showed a bit before finishing well beaten on her recent hurdling debut at Fontwell (17.7f, good). 0-13 in points and was beaten about a distance on hurdling debut at Fontwell. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (80/1 -60%) Silver Chord |
80/1(-60%) | (5) Silver Chord 80/1, Minor promise in an Exeter bumper in December but no impact in a couple of novice hurdles more recently (latest in cheekpieces). 200-1 when tailed off at Fontwell, finishing adrift of Hallowed Rose and Hurst Hill. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (150/1 -200%) Demelza Carne |
150/1(-200%) | (2) Demelza Carne 150/1, Yet to show any ability in bumpers/over hurdles. Nothing positive to take out of her runs in two bumpers and as many hurdle starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Many of these would need to improve on what they've shown so far, and that could pave the way for WALK OF THE ROSES to make a successful return. The Fontwell bumper winner was far from disgraced when second under a penalty at Uttoxeter in June, but she can improve now sent hurdling. Cindysox finished a creditable third at Huntingdon on her hurdles bow last month and she is the main danger, while Hurst Hill completes the shortlist.
A weak mares' novice that can go the way of WALK OF THE ROSES, who made a promising start to her career in a couple of bumpers 12 months ago and can make the perfect start in this sphere provided she's ready to roll. Cindysox looks the most obvious danger following her recent third at Huntingdon on hurdling debut, with sole 4-y-o My Mate Polly rounding off the shortlist.
Preference is for CINDYSOX after her third at Huntingdon. She's by Kayf Tara and out of a Listed-winning hurdler.

Faoladh |
(5) (17/2 +47%)17/2(+47%) | (5) Faoladh 17/2, Foaled April 22. €18,000 foal, €40,000 yearling, Kodi Bear colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 13.5f winner Theme Astral and 7f-1m winner Feed The Goater, both useful. 40,000 euros yearling; ninth foal; half-brother to five winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (3) (13/8 -17%) Surpass |
13/8(-17%) | (3) Surpass 13/8, Foaled February 10. 240,000 gns foal, Saxon Warrior colt. Half-brother to useful 9.5f winner Zenga. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner (stayed 10.3f) Ricetta. Lots to like for top operation. 240,000gns foal; third foal; half-brother to 9.4f AW winner Zenga (RPR 93). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (50/1 -25%) Shocker |
50/1(-25%) | (7) Shocker 50/1, Once-raced gelding. Seventh of 12 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good, 25/1) on debut 9 days ago. Prominent to a point before weakening into a well-held seventh over this far at Roscommon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 +52%) Devine Genius |
12/1(+52%) | (4) Devine Genius 12/1, €185,000 yearling, Almanzor colt. Closely related to smart 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Unquestionable. Tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good, 28/1) 12 days ago. More needed. Expensive yearling but not many positives to take from his first two runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/2 +18%) Starry Desert |
9/2(+18%) | (1) Starry Desert 9/2, Foaled March 30. Sea The Moon colt. Half-brother to winner up to 10.5f Starry Heavens (2-y-o 1m winner, by Mastercraftsman), from the family of high-class winner up to 1m (including Irish 1000 Guineas) Alpha Centauri. Yard have had a number of successful newcomers this month. Out of an unraced sister to top-class miler Alpha Centauri; lots of appeal on paper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (25/1 -150%) Besiege |
25/1(-150%) | (6) Besiege 25/1, Twice-raced colt. 5/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (5f) 47 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Two runs in 5f maidens at Dundalk weren't without promise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (3/1 +60%) The Marty Party |
3/1(+60%) | (2) The Marty Party 3/1, Foaled May 22. Starspangledbanner colt. Dam, 2m winner, half-sister to smart 1½m winner (stayed 15.5f) Glaring. dam 2m AW winner (RPR 89), closely related to Group-placed 10.6f AW winner The Anvil. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (50/1 +0%) Zaraahmando |
50/1(+0%) | (9) Zaraahmando 50/1, Twice-raced colt. 6/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good) 9 days ago, too free. Beaten 8l and 12l in two 7.5f maidens at Roscommon (soft/good); one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (9/2 -125%) Dr Ali |
9/2(-125%) | (8) Dr Ali 9/2, Twice-raced colt. 6/4, only fourth of 8 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good) 11 days ago. 7f should suit and he could bounce back (debut run was encouraging). First visit to Navan was better than the second but has the best form claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (33/1 -32%) Clever And Classy |
33/1(-32%) | (10) Clever And Classy 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 17/2, ninth of 10 in maiden at Naas (5f, good) 18 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly up in trip. Down the field in maidens at Navan (6f) and Naas (5f); has to step up. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Saxon Warrior colt SURPASS represents powerful connections and could be up to making a winning debut. He doesn't hold any big-race entries, but is sure to be well schooled for this assignment. Dr Ali didn't progress from an opening third in Navan when a beaten favourite in fourth at the same track. However, slower ground may suit him more than others. Starry Desert is a half-brother to a Listed-placed filly and starts out for a stable that has been firing plenty of winners in. Newcomers The Marty Party and Faoladh (who has plenty of winners in his pedigree) are worth checking for market strength.
An early test for these 2-y-os and the betting could be revealing in a tricky contest. SURPASS and Starry Desert are a pair bred for the job and make plenty of appeal. Dr Ali was disappointing last time but sets the standard on his debut third at Dundalk and should be suited by 7f.
Dr Ali sets the standard but the newcomers catch the eye. SURPASS is marginally preferred over Starry Desert.

Get Jiggy With It |
(9) (9/4 +18%)9/4(+18%) | (9) Get Jiggy With It 9/4, Fair form, finishing runner-up on 4 of her 6 starts, including at Kempton (7f) 3 weeks ago. Another prominent showing looks assured. Now 0-6 but she's consistent and was beaten by a sharp improver last time on the AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Thanks Dad |
(2) (17/2 -6%)17/2(-6%) | (2) Thanks Dad 17/2, Fair form when placed over 7f at Chelmsford on first 2 starts. Seemed unsuited by the track when a below-form fourth at Brighton (1m) last week. Nearly won at Chelmsford (7f) and last week's Brighton defeat can be excused. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (10) (2/5 +75%) Puella Law |
2/5(+75%) | (10) Puella Law 2/5, Reached the frame on all 4 outings at 2 and showed improved form when second in a C&D handicap on her reappearance 23 days ago. Should go well again. 0-5 but consistent and her reappearance effort here was just about her best run yet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 +43%) Naepoint |
4/1(+43%) | (4) Naepoint 4/1, Twice-raced colt. Third on 6f Wolverhampton debut in October but only fifth of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) on return 17 days ago. Up in trip for turf debut. Retains potential. Quiet return but hard to rule out given the promise he showed in one start last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (100/1 -52%) Highland Olly |
100/1(-52%) | (7) Highland Olly 100/1, 100/1, green when eighth of 11 in novice at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) on debut 9 days ago. Can only watch here after that. Always out the back after starting slowly at Carlisle (7f, good to firm; 100-1). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (20/1 +20%) Novation |
20/1(+20%) | (5) Novation 20/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Cheekpieces on first time, first run since leaving George Boughey when seventh of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (6f, 25/1) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Took backward step with cheekpieces tried on his debut for this yard at Newcastle recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/1 +45%) Star Delta |
11/1(+45%) | (6) Star Delta 11/1, 25/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Catterick (7f, good) on debut 16 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Weak 25-1 chance when never involved at Catterick two weeks ago (7f, good). |

Get Jiggy With It sets the standard with an official rating of 77 and though she merits respect, PUELLA LAW shades preference. Twice a runner-up over C&D, she can put that previous track experience to good use in this maiden. Sea The Stars filly Celestial Wave warrants a market check ahead of her racecourse bow, while Naepoint should not be underestimated either.
PUELLA LAW shaped well when second in a C&D handicap on her reappearance and is taken to go one better now, perhaps at the main expense of fellow 3-y-o filly Get Jiggy With It. Thanks Dad didn't appear to enjoy Brighton last week but should be in the mix if he can translate his AW form to the grass at the second time of asking.
The two most likely contenders are the two most exposed in Get Jiggy With It and PUELLA LAW.

1st (4) (11/10 +63%) Milford |
11/10(+63%) | (4) Milford 11/10, Foaled February 28. 55,000 gns 2-y-o, Kodiac colt. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 1m-12.4f winner Monterosso. Mixed pedigree but no surprise if he's ready to fire first time up. Unraced dam from talented family (half-sister to Dubai World Cup hero Monterosso); chance. |

2nd (1) (11/2 -100%) Death Or Glory |
11/2(-100%) | (1) Death Or Glory 11/2, Foaled March 14. €45,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Lady Fanditha and half-brother to 2-y-o 5.5f/6f winner She's A Gambler. Dam Italian 2-y-o 5f winner. Likely type on paper and yard have had a number of winners first time out in the last fortnight. Trainer had a 2yo newcomer win at the last meeting here; could go well on debut. |

3rd (3) (9/1 -38%) Lucius Aurelius |
9/1(-38%) | (3) Lucius Aurelius 9/1, Foaled April 16. 40,000 gns yearling, Zoustar colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 5f winners Well Done Fox and Excellently Poised (scored on debut). Half-brother to four winners; trainer also runs the twice-raced East Tyrone; watch betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/1 -25%) East Tyrone |
5/1(-25%) | (2) East Tyrone 5/1, Twice-raced colt. 13/2, sixth of 8 at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Debut run at Doncaster was more promising. The only one with the benefit of experience and the likely return to slow ground may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/2 -65%) Mr Cool |
11/2(-65%) | (5) Mr Cool 11/2, Foaled May 12. 40,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Brother to useful 5f/5.5f winner Wild Majesty and smart winner up to 6f Frenetic, and half-brother to smart US winner up to 7f Big Handsome. Likely sort on paper. 40,000gns yearling; bred to be useful and could have a part to play on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
East Tyrone disappointed on fast going at Beverley last time, although better can be expected here and he's preferred to stablemate Lucius Aurelius. The remaining trio are all newcomers to note, with MR COOL taken to edge out Death Or Glory and Milford in a tight contest, given that Charlie Johnston's colt is a full-brother to a couple of Listed winners.
This can go to a newcomer, with DEATH OR GLORY taken to give Richard Fahey another winner first time out. Milford should be ready to roll and the betting will be informative.
Richard Fahey saddled a 2yo newcomer to win at the last meeting here on May 17 and DEATH OF GLORY is taken to make a winning start.

1st (3) (11/2 -10%) Investment Manager |
11/2(-10%) | (3) Investment Manager 11/2, Enjoyed a productive summer over fences here, winning twice at up to 25.7f. Runner-up on next 3 starts before good run came to an abrupt halt at Exeter. Off since but in good hands and he's of interest returned to Newton Abbot. Back from a break and he run a number of good races here last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 +0%) Hauraki Gulf |
4/1(+0%) | (4) Hauraki Gulf 4/1, Promising start over fences when winning a brace of small-field contests during the winter. Unseated rider before the race took shape at Uttoxeter a month ago and mark remains a workable one. Won two small-field chases earlier in the year but now has to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (15/2 -150%) Champagne Court |
15/2(-150%) | (5) Champagne Court 15/2, Arrives on back of couple solid placed efforts, latest when second of 5 in Veterans' handicap at Wincanton (25.1f, heavy). Races off same mark and should give another good account. Not the force of old but still runner-up off today's mark in his last two races. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/3 +49%) Wayfinder |
10/3(+49%) | (1) Wayfinder 10/3, Capable staying chaser when the mood takes, as he demonstrated with creditable placed efforts in the first half of last season. Quickly into his shell again since and others more persuasive despite drop in class. Capable chaser but two non-completions before bleeding at Cheltenham. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (15/8 +6%) Juniper |
15/8(+6%) | (2) Juniper 15/8, Won twice for Harry Whittington in 2022/23 and left yard debut/return behind when landing 4-runner mares' handicap at Taunton. Again impressed with her jumping when following up in good style at Wincanton before a sound third from revised mark. Likely to give it another good go with cheekpieces on. Hard to fault with her progressive profile and cheekpieces are now added. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
JUNIPER finished a decent third at Cheltenham when attempting to complete a hat-trick last month. The forecast slower ground should be in her favour here, as is the drop in class, and with cheekpieces applied for the first-time, she could find a bit more. Champagne Court has been knocking on the door in recent starts and must enter the reckoning, along with the largely consistent Investment Manager.
JUNIPER might be 10 but she's better than ever of late, again impressing with her jumping despite being unable to complete the hat-trick at Cheltenham last month. Cheekpieces go on and she's just about the most persuasive option, ahead of Champagne Court and Investment Manager.
Perhaps the safest play is INVESTMENT MANAGER (nap) who could run around here with his eyes shut.

1st (6) (16/1 -14%) Linger For Longer |
16/1(-14%) | (6) Linger For Longer 16/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Last of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Limerick (6.7f, soft) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Has work to do. Longer trip and soft ground not ideal here so hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/1 +44%) Speckled Meadow |
5/1(+44%) | (4) Speckled Meadow 5/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in April. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, good, 10/1) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Ground possibly too quick latest, previous Leopardstown win was on heavy. |

12/1(+64%) | (16) Swiss Army Officer 12/1, 10/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 12 days ago. Of limited appeal on evidence of two poor runs this term. |

5th (11) (10/1 +17%) Calzaghi |
10/1(+17%) | (11) Calzaghi 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, ninth of 16 in maiden at Gowran (8f, heavy) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut and can do better now. Interesting. Very lightly raced 4yo; potential improver entering handicaps but opening mark high enough. |

6th (2) (14/1 +13%) Mogwli |
14/1(+13%) | (2) Mogwli 14/1, Below form tenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft, 12/1) 23 days ago. Every chance if back to best. Recent runs a bit below best but likes it soft and on an okay mark so don't rule out. |

11/1(+56%) | (10) Miqdaad 11/1, Winner at Dundalk in January. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Cork (8f, good) 19 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. Struggled since AW maiden win; blinkers replace cheekpieces and is down to a workable mark. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (17) (66/1 -313%) Tynamite |
66/1(-313%) | (17) Tynamite 66/1, Latest win at Dundalk in December. 10/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 47 days ago. RESERVE. Six AW wins but 0-23 on turf and soft ground unlikely to play to his strengths; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (16/1 +43%) Arbaawi |
16/1(+43%) | (8) Arbaawi 16/1, Latest win at Dundalk in February. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap (22/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. 1m2f was probably too far at Navan last time, could be a contender back in trip here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (9/1 -80%) Cage Rattler |
9/1(-80%) | (13) Cage Rattler 9/1, Unreliable type. Winner at Gowran in May. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft, 4/1) 15 days ago. Booking of Keane a plus. Killarney may have come too soon after Gowran win; return to this trip to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (14) (22/1 -83%) Skontonovski |
22/1(-83%) | (14) Skontonovski 22/1, Creditable seventh of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 20/1) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has been struggling of late despite plummeting mark, needs to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SPECKLED MEADOW holds each-way claims in a race where many have chances. Better ground was her undoing when last seen in Leopardstown, but this rain-softened going is very much in her favour. On her penultimate start, she beat a big field in Leopardstown and Wayne Hassett's claim has her on a competitive mark. Arbaawi didn't appear to stay 1m2f in Navan, but has winning form over 7f on soft ground at Lingfield. Play It Again Zaam is in rude health after victories in Gowran Park and Roscommon. He's now a stone higher than when he started his winning run, which makes life more difficult, but he should be in there pitching. Cage Rattler is another who merits scrutiny.
CALZAGHI is very much the type to do better now handicapping at a low level and a big effort could be forthcoming. Giuseppe Cassioli and Golden Days are just a couple of others to consider in an open contest.
Back on soft ground it may pay to take a chance on SPECKLED MEADOW returning to form

2nd (1) (9/4 +10%) Zozimus |
9/4(+10%) | (1) Zozimus 9/4, One win from 35 Flat runs. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2020. 9/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 11 days ago. Well treated and threatening to come good soon. Record of 1-35 but he went very close at Newmarket latest and is only 1lb higher here. |

3rd (7) (4/1 -33%) She's Got Bottle |
4/1(-33%) | (7) She's Got Bottle 4/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (5/4) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Really thriving at present and is up to landing the hat-trick. Hat-trick seeker who scored over C&D last time and is open to more progress; big player. |

7th (8) (12/1 -9%) Poet's Dawn |
12/1(-9%) | (8) Poet's Dawn 12/1, 4-time C&D winner. 14/1, creditable fifth of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago, slowly away. Not one to rule out from a low draw. Five-time course winner who was fifth of 15 over C&D last time; in the mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (7/2 +36%) Beltane |
7/2(+36%) | (5) Beltane 7/2, C&D winner. 4/1, creditable second of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Last win was off 4lb higher here and he went close over C&D last time; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (100/1 -150%) Wath Court |
100/1(-150%) | (9) Wath Court 100/1, 33/1, last of 10 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Something to find on form. Regressive eight-race maiden and a first-time tongue-tie needs to make a big difference. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
She's Got Bottle is looking for her hat-trick after wins at Pontefract and over C&D, but an added 5lb and a step up in class may prove beyond her. Mick Appleby has won this twice in the last four years making C&D winner and recent second Beltane a force to reckoned with, but ZOZIMUS is preferred. Only beaten a short head in a better race at Newmarket last time, he looks all set to go one better for a stable in form.
SHE'S GOT BOTTLE is in the form of her life and had something to spare over C&D last time, so she's worth a chance to land the hat-trick under a typically positive ride. Zozimus should play a hand if the race is run to suit and Beltane should give another good account.
Preference is for the hat-trick seeking SHE'S GOT BOTTLE (nap), who was as good as ever with her convincing win over C&D last time.

2nd (6) (10/1 -122%) Ebony Maw |

Off 8 months, last of 6 in handicap (14/1) at this course (12.1f, good) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive.

8/1(-23%) | (5) Spanish Hustle 8/1, Course winner. 13/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (11.1f, good to soft) 24 days ago. One to consider. No threat here last time but won three times here last year and is not ruled out. |

6th (2) (3/1 +14%) Bustaam |
3/1(+14%) | (2) Bustaam 3/1, Winner at Doncaster in March. 13/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Haydock (11.8f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Player if stamina lasts out. Fair third at Haydock on Saturday and might not be far away if this doesn't come too soon. |

7th (4) (5/1 -43%) Solid Silver |
5/1(-43%) | (4) Solid Silver 5/1, Placed in 2 bumpers. 22/1, eighth of 10 at Salisbury (9.9f, heavy) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. No surprise to see her do better now for in-form yard. Listed bumper third who could take a big step forward on this Flat handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
EBONY MAW scored over this trip at Ayr last month when fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time. He made all to beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and can defy a 2lb rise with the promise of more come. Bustaam showed signs of a return to form when third at Haydock and can go well again, while Two Auld Pals returns to the Flat having won over hurdles in March and is preferred to stablemate Jaminoz.
SOLID SILVER was placed in a couple of decent bumpers at the end of last year and could do better now handicapping at a low level for Sir Mark Prescott. Two Auld Pals and Ayr-winner Ebony Maw are feared.
The Sir Mark Prescott-trained SOLID SILVER has travelled all the way from Newmarket and has potential off her opening mark.

1st (4) (9/2 -125%) Coconut Twist |
9/2(-125%) | (4) Coconut Twist 9/2, Yet to win under Rules but in good form in 2023/24, runner-up for the fifth consecutive time at Southwell (20.4f) last July. Off the mark in points at the fourth attempt in January, so he's a key contender as he goes chasing. Often thereabouts hurdling; goes chasing after winning a Larkhill point as he liked. |

2nd (3) (7/1 +30%) Zero Tolerance |
7/1(+30%) | (3) Zero Tolerance 7/1, Placed in an Irish bumper for Charles O'Brien and made the frame in 2 maiden hurdles in 2022/23. However, hasn't returned in much form following a 13-month absence, finishing well held on his chase debut at Warwick (16.2f) in April. Others more persuasive. Made a bad mistake on recent chase debut; still early days after just eight starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/2 -29%) Belgarum |
9/2(-29%) | (5) Belgarum 9/2, Placed twice over hurdles in 2022/23 but he struggled over fences last season, pulled up on his last 2 outings. However, he's had a wind op ahead of his return and he lurks on a dangerous mark based on his best form over hurdles. Yet to get it going over fences but had wind op and mark appeals on hurdle form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/3 +33%) Hold Your Fort |
10/3(+33%) | (6) Hold Your Fort 10/3, Little form over hurdles in 2022 for Tracey Barfoot-Saunt, but won twice in points last year. Showed more than previously under Rules when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in (23.9f) 22 days ago, so he's one to note with hood applied for his chase debut. Three-time point winner; now hooded and worth a second look on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (11/2 +8%) I Shut That D'or |
11/2(+8%) | (1) I Shut That D'or 11/2, Fairly-useful winning hurdler but wasn't able to match that level sent chasing last season, failing to complete on 4 of his 6 starts. Never a threat when third of 5 at Wincanton (15.7f) last time, but his mark has eased further so he's not discounted back up in trip. He was still beneath his best in finishing a 10l third of four finishers at Wincanton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (17/2 +47%) Sans Of Gold |
17/2(+47%) | (8) Sans Of Gold 17/2, Poor form at best over hurdles and hasn't found any improvement for the switch to chasing, attracting support (6/1) but finishing down the field at Stratford (22.6f) 20 days ago. Has something to find racing from out of the handicap. Modest maiden who hasn't looked any different since sent over fences; 9lb wrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (18/1 +28%) Mr Sociable |
18/1(+28%) | (7) Mr Sociable 18/1, Well held in 3 outings over hurdles back from a long absence in 2022/23 and fared no better last season, including over fences on his 2 most recent starts. Easy enough to look elsewhere from out of the weights. A long time since he showed worthwhile form and he's 5lb out of the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (28/1 -155%) Chabadatika |
28/1(-155%) | (2) Chabadatika 28/1, Fair form over hurdles in France but hasn't offered much in 4 starts for her current yard, off for a further 3 months before finishing last of 7 at Fontwell (25.8f) 3 weeks ago. Back down in trip as she makes her chase debut. Has been struggling in handicap hurdles and goes chasing with a fair bit to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Coconut Twist was a commanding winner of a Larkhill point-to-point in January and he merits respect on his first start for the Daisy Hitchins team, but a chance is taken on HOLD YOUR FORT. A multiple winner between the flags, he shaped as if in need of the outing when fifth over hurdles on the back of an absence 22 days ago. Chasing ought to be more his bag and it would be no surprise were he to step forward. I Shut That D'or is also noted.
COCONUT TWIST was running well in defeat last season, bumping into an improving type at Southwell when last seen under Rules, and having won a point since he is taken to make a winning chase debut. Hold Your Fort is also a winning pointer and is feared most as he goes chasing, ahead of I Shut That d'Or.
A chance is taken on BELGARUM after wind surgery. His mark is very tempting on the pick of his hurdle form.

1st (4) (12/1 +33%) Party Dress |
12/1(+33%) | (4) Party Dress 12/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in maiden at Thurles (16f, soft, 150/1). Off 7 months. Significantly back down in trip. Contrasting trips in two starts; may be more one for handicaps. |

2nd (2) (11/8 +8%) Jeaniemacaroney |
11/8(+8%) | (2) Jeaniemacaroney 11/8, Fair filly. 2/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Cork (10.1f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Of interest on these terms. Trip should be ideal and ground-versatile; definite player with rider's claim a positive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/1 -125%) Quantum Light |
9/1(-125%) | (5) Quantum Light 9/1, Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 4/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 15 days ago, met some trouble. On best form could go close, others possibly have more improvement in them. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (125/1 -25%) Tasmanian Girl |
125/1(-25%) | (6) Tasmanian Girl 125/1, Modest filly. 250/1, last of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy) 150 days ago. Off 150 days. Modest on the Flat and hard to make a case for her. Poor maiden hard to see her having an impact here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (11/8 -10%) Alessia Fernanda |
11/8(-10%) | (1) Alessia Fernanda 11/8, Lightly-raced filly. 9/2, good third of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 12 days ago. Tongue strap on first time and should continue to give a good account for in-form yard. Trip/ground could provide a stern stamina test but every chance if seeing it out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (25/1 -127%) Marirah |
25/1(-127%) | (3) Marirah 25/1, Twice-raced filly. Hooded for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Roger Varian when fifth of 8 in maiden at Sligo (10.6f, good, 33/1) 14 days ago. Too keen on Irish debut in recent Sligo maiden; headgear combination retained. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This ground could play into JEANIEMACARONEY's hands. She was placed in four maiden hurdles on testing conditions before a satisfactory return to the Flat when fourth on better ground in Cork. Hugh Horgan's 5lb claim has her 1lb better off at the weights with Alessia Fernanda. Dermot Weld's filly gets a first-time tongue-strap on this step up in trip and has been placed on three occasions, so is a major player. Quantum Light looks exposed after 16 races in Britain and Ireland, although trip and ground are fine for her and this is not a strong contest.
ALESSIA FERNANDA put in another excellent shift when placed in a big-field handicap at Leopardstown 12 days ago and a repeat of that level mat well suffice back in maiden company against her own sex. Jeaniemacaroney is offered for forecast purposes.

(4) (12/1 +0%)12/1(+0%) | (4) Mr Heinz 12/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Pontefract (1m, soft) 28 days ago. Blinkers back on. Bounce back needed. Quiet this season but the return of blinkers looks a positive given last year's form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) (9/4 +50%) Distinction |
9/4(+50%) | (1) Distinction 9/4, Second over C&D at the start of the month and not seen to best effect at Pontefract (1mf, good to soft) last Friday. Enters calculations back here. Poor conversion rate of 3-54 but definite contender given recent promise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (11/1 -22%) Star Of St James |
11/1(-22%) | (9) Star Of St James 11/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (1m, heavy) 15 days ago. Declining force for some time now but it was a solid enough run last time at Chepstow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (6/1 +25%) Scarriff |
6/1(+25%) | (11) Scarriff 6/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 12 days ago. Visor tried now. Hollie Doyle takes the ride. Ten-race maiden who is not progressing and tries further headgear here. |

4th (3) (28/1 -180%) Perovskia |
28/1(-180%) | (3) Perovskia 28/1, Modest form in 3 outings last year but rates a possible improver in handicaps. This well-bred filly rates a likely improver now raised in distance for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (20/1 -67%) Rayena |
20/1(-67%) | (5) Rayena 20/1, Modest form over a variety of trips for Patrick Owens. Worth a precautionary betting check now setting out for a new yard after 8 months off. 0-8 and sold on for 1,400gns, but interesting that she's joined Richard Fahey. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (40/1 -60%) Knight Of Magic |
40/1(-60%) | (13) Knight Of Magic 40/1, Poor maiden. 100/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (1m, soft) 28 days ago. Unplaced in all nine runs and they include a bumper, four classified races and a handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (9/2 +44%) Josiebond |
9/2(+44%) | (6) Josiebond 9/2, C&D winner. Fifth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft, 7/1) 6 days ago. Back up in trip. Well-handicapped C&D winner but hasn't hit the ground running this campaign. |

13/2(+28%) | (2) Barleybrown 13/2, Latest win at Newcastle in April. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 8/1) 19 days ago. Quirky but he's in a consistent run of form and safer than a good many of these. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (17/2 +58%) Premiership |
17/2(+58%) | (7) Premiership 17/2, 7/1, last of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (1m, soft) 28 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect. Out of form but too well handicapped to ignore and the headgear might help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (10/1 -122%) Ribkana |
10/1(-122%) | (8) Ribkana 10/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 22/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good to firm) 10 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Latest close fourth at Ripon (1m, good) was up there with her best efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (28/1 -40%) Blackintime |
28/1(-40%) | (10) Blackintime 28/1, Poor form in maiden/novice events but possible she could prove a different proposition now handicapping at a basement level. One to note in the betting. Goes handicapping off a basement mark and her dam was a Listed winner. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Rayena has her first start for Richard Fahey and has plenty of placed form to her name, but she remains a maiden and may have to settle for a supporting role. Chepstow second Star Of St James will have his supporters and could also go well, but a chance is taken on the lightly-raced PEROVSKIA. She has shown signs of ability at both Wetherby and Chepstow on the turf before a poor run at Southwell, and could be well treated ahead of her handicap debut.
In a contest where few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is DISTINCTION, who had an excuse at Pontefract last week and had been a good second over C&D prior to that. Ribkana is still a maiden but she was second here last summer and finished a creditable fourth at Ripon 10 days ago. Perovskia brings unexposed potential to her handicap debut and also makes the shortlist.
The suggestion is DISTINCTION, who was second here before running into a few dead-ends at Pontefract.

1st (2) (8/11 +34%) Contacto |
8/11(+34%) | (2) Contacto 8/11, Promising sort. Winner at Doncaster in April. 10/3, good second of 9 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good) 20 days ago, staying on having not been ideally positioned. Winner that day has struck again since and he has strong claims. A win and a close second from his first two handicaps; rock-solid candidate. |

2nd (1) (11/2 +27%) Victory Shout |
11/2(+27%) | (1) Victory Shout 11/2, Made it third time lucky in novice company at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in September. Well-backed 15/2, seventh of 9 in hot handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) on return 42 days ago. This is easier up in trip. Impressive at Carlisle last September but heavy defeats the next twice. |

3rd (4) (3/1 -50%) Judgementofsolomon |
3/1(-50%) | (4) Judgementofsolomon 3/1, 7/4, improved when winning 4-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) on return 30 days ago, staying on well. Makes turf debut and more to come. Improved for step up in trip on h'cap debut; in excellent hands to continue to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (12/1 -167%) Love Safari |
12/1(-167%) | (3) Love Safari 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/10, second of 5 in maiden at Newcastle (12.4f) on return 26 days ago. Well bred and should progress now handicapping. Much better when going close in AW maiden on reappearance; could go well on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Judgementofsolomon has been raised 7lb for winning a lower grade contest at Wolverhampton, while Doncaster winner Contacto went close to landing a double when just missing out at Chester last time. The latter looks sure to make his presence felt once again, but LOVE SAFARI arrives on the back of a promising reappearance at Newcastle when just failing to catch the winner. Further progress can be expected now handicapping for the first time and he gets the vote.
CONTACTO emerged from Chester with a huge amount of credit, chasing home a thriving one from a poor position, and he can go one better now. Judgementofsolomon looks set for a profitable campaign for Sir Mark Prescott after his winning reappearance at Wolverhampton and he's the obvious danger.
The Sir Mark Prescott-trained JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON is one from one in handicaps and this well-bred 3yo could have lots more to offer.

1st (4) (5/1 +9%) Trump Lady |
5/1(+9%) | (4) Trump Lady 5/1, Winner at Exeter back in January 2022 for Harriet Brown but missed 28 months after next start. Shaped as if retaining most of her ability when eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Warwick (21f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Not discounted if able to build on that. Entitled to have needed it at Warwick but could still have shown more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (10/3 +45%) Caspers Court |
10/3(+45%) | (5) Caspers Court 10/3, Won back-to-back handicaps around 21f in early 2023 but has been slipping in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage recently, only tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 23 days ago. May fare better in this weak event. Has won four times over hurdles but he needs to turn a corner and is getting on now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (15/2 -150%) Silver Shade |
15/2(-150%) | (2) Silver Shade 15/2, Won twice as a juvenile for Milton Harris but was off the track for 19 months prior to pulling up at Hereford (19.7f, good) 22 days ago. Well treated on the pick of his form but market may remain best guide as to expectations. With a run under his belt and back on softer ground, he should be a factor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (6/4 +8%) Monjules |
6/4(+8%) | (1) Monjules 6/4, Won 3 of first 4 starts for this yard in 2022/23 and ran to similar level when runner-up at Plumpton on his return in the autumn. Down the field both starts since (including on chase debut), but this looks a thin contest and it'd be no surprise were he to make a greater impact. On a good mark if back on song and 3m1f looked too far the last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (13/2 -8%) Vernon Subutex |
13/2(-8%) | (3) Vernon Subutex 13/2, Prolific over hurdles and fences in France and scored in Britain on his sole outing for David Pipe in May 2022. No promise in 2 starts for current yard, though. Two wins in 2022 but he's shown very little in two runs since returning from an absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
With precious little recent winning form on offer, it may pay to side with MONJULES with Megan Bevan claiming a valuable 7lb. With four wins over hurdles and a good Plumpton second last November to his name, the six-year-old failed to see out the trip last time out and has been found a more suitable contest. Trump Lady in entitled to improve for her first run in over two years when eighth at Warwick and could follow the selection home, leaving Silver Shade as next best.
None of these arrive in any sort of form, but MONJULES possesses the most encouraging overall profile and could be the way to go over Caspers Court.
All of these have questions to answer but MONJULES did at least have an excuse last time and he nearly won three starts back.

13/2(+59%) | (13) Lisamaria 13/2, 9/1, bit below form seventh of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good) 9 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Back up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Form claims on peak efforts but the good days are becoming harder to predict. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STATUS GREEN ran a creditable race in second behind an easy winner in Killarney and could go one better. He made up plenty of ground in the final furlong and is of interest off the same mark of 54. Angel On Fire has been beaten roughly the same distance into second at Leopardstown and into fourth at Sligo and both races have been franked, so his claims are stronger than most. James Ryan got to know So Messi when the pair were a close third in Cork last week, while Magic Charm, Adhuil and Rock Basher are in the hunt for a cheque.
For a modest handicap, a fair few of these arrive in form, with MAGIC CHARM just about the most persuasive option with this slight step back up in trip sure to suit. Angel On Fire and Status Green are a couple of potential threats.
The suggestion is STATUS GREEN who seemed to perk up for the cheekpieces when chasing home a well-treated winner at Killarney.

7/4(-7%) | (6) Cloudy Rose 7/4, C&D winner. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good, 7/1) 29 days ago, driven out. Has to be taken seriously. Won this last year and was successful at Brighton last month; big player. |

8th (1) (10/1 -33%) Peripeteia |
10/1(-33%) | (1) Peripeteia 10/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 32 days ago, left poorly placed. Drops in grade and can make her presence felt if the race pans out ideally. Well below form on AW in three of last four runs and she's 1-14 on turf; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (22/1 +56%) Schumann |
22/1(+56%) | (8) Schumann 22/1, 66/1, first run since leaving Richard Hughes when sixth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (16f, good) 19 days ago. Down in trip. Not easy to make a case for. Well held in all seven starts and he needs improvement back at this trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Ski Jump could be interesting if he gets the trip on his first start for owner/trainer Tina Jackson, but he hasn't been in action since September last year and that may count against him. CLOUDY ROSE won this last year off a mark of 48 and, although a winner last time out at Brighton, she races here off just 4lb higher. She might win again under Gina Mangan, with Twoforthegutter another to consider.
CLOUDY ROSE won this race as the second leg of a hat-trick last season and, having scored at Brighton (as she did in 2023) last time, she's the most appealing option. Peripeteia is a danger down in grade and Night Life is worth keeping in mind back up in distance.
This can go to last year's winner CLOUDY ROSE, who scored at Brighton four weeks ago and still looks feasibly treated.

1st (5) (5/1 -25%) Catherine Chroi |
5/1(-25%) | (5) Catherine Chroi 5/1, C&D winner. 5 wins from 7 runs this year. 5/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, good) 18 days ago. Clearly still in great heart having been placed really well and another good run is on the cards. Five wins from her last six starts; 5lb higher than last time but may well go in again. |

2nd (4) (12/1 -71%) Cold Stare |
12/1(-71%) | (4) Cold Stare 12/1, Latest win at Thirsk in April. 9/2, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Haydock (6f, heavy) 32 days ago. Won at Thirsk on reappearance and subsequent defeat possibly came too soon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (6/4 +50%) Slainte Mhath |
6/4(+50%) | (2) Slainte Mhath 6/4, 3-time C&D winner. Creditable third of 21 in handicap (17/2) at York (6f, good) 4 days ago. Having a good year and can go well again. Two-time C&D winner who has been admirably consistent in defeat this season; strong claims. |

4th (8) (40/1 -82%) Ramon Di Loria |
40/1(-82%) | (8) Ramon Di Loria 40/1, Below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 10/1) 102 days ago. Below last winning mark but not shaping on recent starts as though another win is imminent. |

5th (1) (9/1 +10%) Lahab |
9/1(+10%) | (1) Lahab 9/1, 16/1 and hooded for 1st time, sixteenth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good) 12 days ago. Others have less to prove but the drop back in trip could suit this headstrong sort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (13/2 -63%) Havana Rum |
13/2(-63%) | (7) Havana Rum 13/2, 12/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago, well on top finish. Respected up 5 lb. Something to spare at Ripon latest; could give another good account now 5lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (17/2 -55%) Iris Dancer |
17/2(-55%) | (6) Iris Dancer 17/2, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 7/2) 12 days ago, digging deep. Lots to like again. Six-time C&D winner, the latest 12 days ago, and that form has been franked; up just 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (12/1 -33%) Emily Post |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Emily Post 12/1, 12/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could improve for recent reappearance and of interest on last season's best efforts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Catherine Chroi has won five of her seven starts since joining Iain Jardine and is a key player. However, the mare is upped in class here and a new mark of 73 demands yet another personal best. With that in mind, a chance if taken on LAHAB, who is open to a great deal of improvement on just his third start over this trip. Last-time-out winners Iris Dancer and Havana Rum also command respect.
CATHERINE CHROI continues to thrive and looks weighted to strike once more under her rider (2-2 on her). Iris Dancer boasts a tremendous record here and can go well again. Slainte Mhath is another to consider in a trappy contest.
This could go to C&D specialist IRIS DANCER, whose recent win here has been given a firm boost by the clear runner-up.

1st (1) (13/8 +35%) Yccs Portocervo |
13/8(+35%) | (1) Yccs Portocervo 13/8, Won back to back at Uttoxeter last summer and bounced back from a poor run on hunter debut in January when seeing off the reopposing Duc de Bourbon by 4¼ lengths in 20.5f Kempton hunter last month. Should go well again. Much too good for Duc De Bourbon and No Getaway at Kempton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (13/8 -36%) Phoenix Way |
13/8(-36%) | (7) Phoenix Way 13/8, Pretty smart chaser at his best for Harry Fry. Not seen for 13 months but could be a cut above this opposition on hunter debut. Wellbeing to prove after so long out but he's the class act in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (80/1 -60%) Norman Abu |
80/1(-60%) | (6) Norman Abu 80/1, Remote fourth on recent 25.5f course hunter debut. Booked for another struggle. Finished a remote fourth in a 3m2f hunter chase here nine days ago when 40-1. |

4th (8) (100/1 -52%) Tekap |
100/1(-52%) | (8) Tekap 100/1, Looks limited on balance of his form. Pulled up in a Cheltenham hunter at the start of this month and last of 4 in a point since. At least completed the last time but was still last of four in a 3m point; up against it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (7/1 -17%) No Getaway |
7/1(-17%) | (2) No Getaway 7/1, Won this race 12 months ago. Creditable third at Kempton (20.5f) last month but reopposing pair Yccs Portocervo and Duc de Bourbon were ahead in first and second. Asked to reverse recent Kempton placings with both Yccs Portocervo and Duc De Bourbon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (6/1 -20%) Duc De Bourbon |
6/1(-20%) | (3) Duc De Bourbon 6/1, Successful hurdler/chaser for Paul Nicholls and a winning pointer for this yard. Sound start to his hunter career when 4¼ lengths second of 6 to Yccs Portocervo at Kempton (20.5f, good) last month. Should figure again. Chance on latest second to Yccs Portocervo at Kempton; prefers goodish ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (100/1 -52%) Kilronan Castle |
100/1(-52%) | (5) Kilronan Castle 100/1, Fair chaser earlier in his career but pulled up in both hunters and recent point exploits don't suggest he'll be getting involved here. Getting long in the tooth now and recent pointing exploits don't bode well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
No Getaway won this contest last year by nearly eight lengths and he arrives here after a third last time out at Kempton, leaving him with more to do. He meets runner-up Duc De Bourbon on the same terms, while YCCS PORTOCERVO won that Kempton event comfortably after a fine display of jumping and looks set to confirm the form.
PHOENIX WAY was still capable of useful form at the beginning of 2023 and is taken to make a winning start to his hunter career. Yccs Portocervo can confirm recent Kempton superiority over Duc de Bourbon and No Getaway, who won this 12 months ago, and give the selection most to think about.
This largely revolves around whether former smart handicapper PHOENIX WAY still fancies the challenge after his period out of action.

11th (2) (66/1 -32%) Lashgar |
66/1(-32%) | (2) Lashgar 66/1, Seventh of 10 in maiden (200/1) at Cork (10.2f, good) on debut 19 days ago. Up in trip. Never dangerous from off the pace in a 1m2f maiden at Cork (good); went off at 200-1. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Aidan O'Brien's EPHESUS showed plenty of ability when a never-nearer third on debut at Dundalk. The winner, a stablemate of his, followed up in York and has big-race options. Ephesus got closer to a victory when runner-up in Chester and holds a Group 2 entry at Royal Ascot. Plenty of cut in the ground won't inconvenience Invention, who has been running solidly in maiden company. He is a brother to an Irish Oaks runner-up and there are wins to be had with him. Camelot colt Himalayan Heights has posted two runner-up finishes, while Slaneyside is a newcomer to note.
EPHESUS was worn down late having helped contribute to a brisk gallop at Chester 3 weeks ago and with the promise of more to come, he looks the way to go. Invention is the obvious threat on form, with Ob La Di also of interest.
It was probably a good race in which EPHESUS (nap) came up shy at Chester where he was picked off late on by one ridden colder.

Tongue strap on 1st time. Worth monitoring in the betting. On dangerous mark and went close here on seasonal return last year; one to keep an eye on. |

3rd (6) (11/1 -10%) Defence Treaty |
11/1(-10%) | (6) Defence Treaty 11/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 59 days ago. Not one to rule out. Won at Southwell (1m4f) on his penultimate run and has possibilities back on turf. |

6th (8) (6/1 -80%) Jamih |
6/1(-80%) | (8) Jamih 6/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, second of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 16 days ago, having to pick way through. Enters calculations. Went close off 1lb lower at Carlisle (1m4f) and has claims if he can repeat that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (16/5 -28%) Golden Echo |
16/5(-28%) | (2) Golden Echo 16/5, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good) 18 days ago, having run of race. May do better still and makes plenty of appeal in a weak race. Unexposed 4yo who was a close third at Leicester last time; respected off unchanged mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (18/1 +10%) Starshot |
18/1(+10%) | (1) Starshot 18/1, 33/1 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly up in trip. Others make more appeal. 13-race maiden who has struggled in last five runs and is untried at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (80/1 -21%) Strong Team |
80/1(-21%) | (10) Strong Team 80/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) 19 days ago. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Four hurdle wins but he's 0-20 on the Flat and others are preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Defence Treaty, Jamih and Laudable all have something to recommend them and each warrant a betting check at the very least. However, none appeal more than GOLDEN ECHO, who is open to any amount of progression and, following a promising third-placed finish on her first attempt over 1m4f in a deeper race at Leicester 18 days ago, the daughter of Golden Horn makes strong appeal.
JAMIH is well treated and was arguably unlucky not to win having suffered interference when second at Catterick, so he's taken to make amends at the possible expense of Golden Echo, who arrives on the back of an improved showing. Lincoln Rockstar is another one to consider if strong in the betting.
It might be worth siding with GOLDEN ECHO, who is still unexposed and made a bold bid when upped to 1m4f at Leicester last time.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Already a four-time course winner, ARKENSTAAR held on gamely to score over C&D 24 days ago and his will to win earns him the vote off just 1lb higher. Black Friday was third in that race and has to be feared given his was less than a length behind the selection at the line. Recent Ayr winner Vellner also needs serious consideration despite being 3lb higher.
ARKENSTAAR has course form figures of 21111 and beat a subsequent winner here last time. He can go in again. Ayr-scorer Vellner is feared most ahead of Black Friday.
Michael Dods's course specialist ARKENSTAAR (nap) can record a fifth win here. The form of his recent C&D success has been franked.

9/2(-35%) | (1) Hillsin 9/2, Remains a maiden following 19 starts over hurdles but, to his credit, he has finished in the money on several occasions, including when returning from a wind op/3-month break on second start for this yard at Exeter (18.5f, good). High on the shortlist. Fared better after a wind op when second to a big improver at Exeter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 -40%) Our Dylan |
7/2(-40%) | (3) Our Dylan 7/2, Showed benefit of a recent run when belatedly shedding maiden tag at Hereford in April and followed up with a bit up his sleeve at Stratford since. Remains well treated on old form and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Only pushed out the last time so should deal with the 6lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (7/1 +30%) Lion's Vigil |
7/1(+30%) | (10) Lion's Vigil 7/1, Lightly raced for his age and proved he can get competitive from this sort of mark when fourth at Ludlow 17 days ago. Drops back in trip and may not have reached his limit. Latest fourth was over 3m and may need further than this to show his best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/3 +45%) Mr Zee |
10/3(+45%) | (6) Mr Zee 10/3, Fair handicapper on the Flat, successful 3 times last year. Left previous hurdling efforts behind when runner-up at Kempton last month and can make his presence felt with another step forward. Six Flat wins; lightly raced hurdler who was second in a Kempton handicap last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (10/1 +0%) Pooch |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Pooch 10/1, Left previous Rules form behind when third in a novice at Plumpton last time. Bred to do better still and appeals as an interesting handicap debutant. Handicap debut but not even this low a mark looks obviously lenient. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 +25%) Timeforarum |
12/1(+25%) | (2) Timeforarum 12/1, Fair form on first of three outings in bumpers and looked a work-in-progress so far over hurdles. Potentially leniently treated on handicap bow, so can't be ruled out. Best efforts were in bumpers and no closer than 15l over hurdles; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (11/2 +78%) Wellwillya |
11/2(+78%) | (11) Wellwillya 11/2, Poor maiden hurdler who was pulled up in a novice at Hereford last time and arrives with a bit to prove. Last two defeats were in non-handicaps but he's far from solid; tries cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (28/1 -27%) Secret Sauce |
28/1(-27%) | (5) Secret Sauce 28/1, Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland and best effort over hurdles when runner-up in a Hereford novice in January. However, hasn't managed to build on that since. Some form commands attention but he's yet to really get going for current yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (80/1 -220%) Zulu |
80/1(-220%) | (8) Zulu 80/1, Again offered little back from a 2-year absence at Exeter in January and no more encouragement over C&D 9 days ago. Hard to make any sort of case for. Has pulled up in four of his last five starts stretched out over a long period. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A tricky race to call but the penny seems to have dropped for OUR DYLAN, who has only needed to be pushed out to win at Hereford and Stratford recently. Another 6lb from the handicapper may not stop him from securing a hat-trick. Hillsin is an obvious danger if he improves on his second start after wind-surgery but top-weight looks an anchor, while Timeforarum could surprise a few on his handicap debut over what may prove to be his ideal trip.
OUR DYLAN is in a resurgent mood and remains well handicapped, so he's fancied to land the hat-trick for all that this looks quite competitive for the grade. Mr Zee and Culligran arrive on the back of improved efforts and both merit plenty of respect.
Something has clicked with OUR DYLAN and he won with sufficient authority last time to believe he may well go in again.

Carr after 8 months off when third of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Navan (13f, good) 11 days ago. Task is now to build on that. Close up over 1m5f at Navan, where a bold mid-race move softened her up late on. |

That should've blown away any cobwebs so he's one to consider. Some fair Flat efforts, including on recent Gowran comeback; entitled to come on for that. |

Stepped up on reappearance run after another 9 weeks off when 3½ lengths third of 14 to Forlio in handicap at Limerick (11.2f, soft, 10/3) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly. One-paced third behind Forlio and Nusra at Limerick; this longer trip a positive. |

Should remain competitive up 5 lb. Up 5lb for winning stable debut but he's entitled to improve some more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (5/1 +17%) War Thunder |
5/1(+17%) | (14) War Thunder 5/1, Finally got off the mark on first outing since leaving D. J. Ryan after 5 months off in 14-runner handicap at Sligo (13.1f, good to soft, 5/1) 24 days ago by ½ length from Glyde Ranger, justifying solid market support in the process. 6 lb higher and could kick on now up and running. Well backed when making winning debut for this yard at Sligo; that was no fluke. |

12th (17) (66/1 -65%) Camino Mission |
66/1(-65%) | (17) Camino Mission 66/1, Ran poorly in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good, 20/1) 12 days ago. Down in trip. Poor on last Flat outing. 18-race maiden under both codes and never placed; has more to prove than a lot of these. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
L'UN DEUX TROIS won over a similar trip at this track last summer and is weighted to go well again. He didn't run badly in fifth in a higher grade at Roscommon just over a fortnight ago. Paul Flynn's Forlio has prospects of adding to his Limerick success off 5lb higher. He had been off for more than 18 months and was making his Irish debut for Flynn when he got up by a neck in Limerick. There should be more to come from him. Nusra was the horse beaten into second in Limerick and she ought to be on the premises again. Flynn also saddles Sligo winner War Thunder, who will have his supporters.
L'UN DEUX TROIS made a satisfactory return to action when fifth at Roscommon earlier this month and with that sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Oliver McKiernan's 8-y-o is fancied to repeat what he did last year and score second time up over C&D. Forlio, Nusra and Spinning Web were 1-2-3 at Limerick earlier this month and they can provide most resistance in an open-looking finale.
There could be a big run in C&D winner L'UN DEUX TROIS who signalled a return to form after a break at Roscommon.

1st (3) (11/4 +31%) Yazaman |

Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 9/2) 19 days ago, well on top finish. Should go well again.

Should come on for that reappearance and she's well drawn. Her win came over C&D and fair fifth of 13 at Catterick on recent return; in the mix. |

4th (7) (7/1 +7%) Opal Storm |

One to consider. Eyecatching fourth over C&D on her stable debut and she still has potential; interesting. |

5th (9) (9/1 +25%) Frank The Spark |
9/1(+25%) | (9) Frank The Spark 9/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (6f) 33 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form and should strip fitter for his reappearance, so one to note from a low draw. Still lightly raced and ran better than bare facts on his Newcastle return; not ruled out. |

Hasn't had much go her way this year, so can't be completely written off. Two fair efforts for new yard but she's now 1-26 and needs to find something extra. |

25/1(-79%) | (2) Exceed 25/1, Last of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Redcar (5f, soft) 27 days ago, worst of draw. Others make more appeal. Good second on his Yarmouth comeback but he struggled last time and needs to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Open to more improvement than many of her rivals, OPAL STORM could be worth chancing after an encouraging fourth-placed finish over this course and distance 15 days ago. The Brian Rothwell-trained filly outran huge odds with a first-time tongue-tie added that day and, given it was her first start since last September, the handicapper has given her a chance off 1lb lower. Yazaman, King Of The Jungle and Stallone can all give the selection plenty to think about.
FRANK THE SPARK is still unexposed and left the impression he'd come on for his reappearance at Newcastle last month, so he's worth chancing from stall 2. His stablemate Yazaman, a recent winner, is an obvious danger and Opal Storm merits consideration.
Several have possibilities but the vote goes to OPAL STORM, who was an eyecatching fourth over C&D on her recent stable debut.

Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces back on. Given a chance by the handicapper. Four wins in 2023 but he's lost his way in last five runs and needs to turn things around. |

6/1(-71%) | (6) Sea Girt 6/1, 15/8 and tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 109 days ago, missing break. Should have races in him from this mark. Has had wind surgery but he's 0-8 and has been hard to predict; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (18/1 -80%) Lady Lavina |
18/1(-80%) | (4) Lady Lavina 18/1, 18/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 36 days ago. Has beaten only four rivals in her four runs this year and has a lot to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LEDGER (first) and We Still Believe (second) were the first two across the line in a similar race over the extended mile here 12 days ago and, given the former wasn't showing any signs of stopping, he can cement his authority and follow up off just a 4lb higher mark. There could also be more to come from Sea Girt, who reverts to turf on a handy mark and warrants close inspection in the betting on his first start back after wind surgery.
WE STILL BELIEVE is taken to reverse recent course placings with Ledger, with this longer trip in his favour. Dogged lurks on a good mark back down in grade and could be ready for a revival in re-fitted headgear.
Ledger beat WE STILL BELIEVE here 12 days ago but the latter may be able to turn the tables over this longer trip.

6th (1) (9/1 -125%) One Last Tango |
9/1(-125%) | (1) One Last Tango 9/1, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Leopardstown in December. 66/1, seventeenth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.5f, soft) 25 days ago, struggling before 2 out. Needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip. Course winner, has been running in big-value handicaps, realistic chance in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 -150%) Lieutenant Highway |
50/1(-150%) | (6) Lieutenant Highway 50/1, Fairly useful, 4-time winner over hurdles who displayed similar form when opening chase account at Roscommon last summer. Disappointed final 2 starts in that sphere and he needs to hit the ground running on debut for new yard/following 8 months off. Enjoyed a fine spell of form for Gordon Elliott two summers ago, questions to answer now. |

8th (8) (22/1 -83%) Diamond Nora |
22/1(-83%) | (8) Diamond Nora 22/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 16/1, left previous exploits in his wake when landing 14-runner novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.6f, soft) 40 days ago, always holding on. Hood back on here but this is understandably tougher. Produced massive improvement when making all to win a maiden at Ballinrobe last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (14/1 +58%) Dollar Value |
14/1(+58%) | (5) Dollar Value 14/1, Temperamental sort. Good sixth of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, good, 11/1) 11 days ago. Others rate stronger returned to this discipline. In fair form on Flat recently but last season's hurdles form provides no encouragement. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
C&D winner ONE LAST TANGO can strike for Kilkenny trainer Eoin Griffin. The seven-year-old easily landed a competitive handicap hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas before running respectively in mid division in a couple of stronger contests after. The gelding should appreciate returning to somewhat calmer waters here. Feet Of A Dancer, winner of both her previous starts at this venue, looks a mare on the upgrade. The Paul Nolan-trained five-year-old ran a big race when third in an ultra competitive mares handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival last time. The Greek would be of definite interest on his return to hurdling if fit after an absence.
Already a 3-time winner over hurdles FEET OF A DANCER showed further improvement faced with her sternest assignment yet when third in a listed handicap at Leopardstown back in February. Appealing as the type who could do better still, she looks a solid option eased back down in trip. The Short Go on return to action and Dark Note are others to consider, with Diamond Nora likely capable of better also.
An open race but FEET OF A DANCER has an attractive profile as a course winner whose two hurdle wins have come in similar circumstances

Returned to form when second of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 16/1) 12 days ago. Major player back at this venue. Good 2nd at Newmarket latest; stamina not assured but good chance he'll stay. |

Tea Sea |
(4) (13/2 -8%)13/2(-8%) | (4) Tea Sea 13/2, Off the mark at Southwell (8.1f) in December and shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 12 in handicap (3/1) at the same C&D on his final outing last year, left poorly placed. Respected on his reappearance. Impressive at Southwell in December (1m); not so good twice since; still time to do better. |

1st (5) (6/4 +67%) Kynsa |
6/4(+67%) | (5) Kynsa 6/4, Made the frame once more when third of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, soft, 15/8) 25 days ago. Remains early days for her current yard and she can give another good account with cheekpieces on 1st time. 11-race maiden but placed in six of them; cheekpieces now tried for the first time. |

Has continued in good heart since, having to pick way through when fifth of 13 in handicap (4/1) back at this C&D 58 days ago, Engaged 4.45 Brighton Tuesday. C&D win in February off 4lb lower; unplaced 4.45 Brighton Tuesday. |

3rd (7) (20/1 -135%) Capuchinero |
20/1(-135%) | (7) Capuchinero 20/1, Back in cheekpieces after 3 months off, ran well when fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good, 7/1) a week ago. Racing off her last winning mark so she's not discounted. Won off this mark at Chelmsford (7f) last November; fair 4th on turf last week; contender. |

Back down to his winning mark but has something to prove after his return. Well beaten on return from 13 months off; could come on for that and worth a market check. |

5th (9) (9/1 -50%) Got No Dollars |
9/1(-50%) | (9) Got No Dollars 9/1, Ended long losing run when successful here in January. Ran well next time, but well below form when last of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 81 days ago. Bounce back called for returned to this track. C&D win in January off 4lb lower; rare flop when last seen in March; type to bounce back. |

6th (6) (17/2 +6%) Uncle Dick |
17/2(+6%) | (6) Uncle Dick 17/2, Made it 2 wins from 3 starts when scoring at Brighton (8f) at the start of the month. Seemed unsuited by the drop in trip when third of 9 in handicap at the same course (7f, good, 11/2) 8 days ago, Blinkers on 1st time. Two 1m Brighton wins this spring; unsuited by 7f last week; change of headgear today. |

7th (8) (16/1 +0%) Cariad |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Cariad 16/1, In first-time visor, never a threat when eighth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 18/1) 39 days ago. Could fare better with her reappearance run behind her and cheekpieces reapplied. Easy win at Chelmsford in November; perhaps sharper for last month's return; not out of it. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
EMBARKED put in a bold display from the front to only be beaten two lengths into second at Newmarket earlier in the month and he goes off an unchanged rating. James Fanshawe's six-year-old should have no issues with the step back up in trip and he can go one better. Kynsa hit the frame at Thirsk on her latest outing and first-time cheekpieces could eke out more, so she has to be respected. Uncle Dick is another to note.
EMBARKED produced his best effort of the season when runner-up to an improver at Newmarket 12 days ago and he can build on that effort to resume winning ways. Tea Sea ended last year in good heart and isn't taken lightly on his return, while Kynsa has made the frame on her last 4 starts and completes the shortlist.
A trappy race in which EMBARKED is tentatively preferred to Cariad and Uncle Dick.

1st (1) (Evens +33%) Haarar |
Evens(+33%) | (1) Haarar Evens, Confirmed the promise of his second at Uttoxeter last month when getting off the mark in this sphere at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) just over 2 weeks ago, doing well to get there given his inexperience was still in evidence. Capable of better still, so fancied to go in again. Fair Flat-racer; won readily over hurdles this month and is open to further progress. |

2nd (3) (3/1 -84%) Eaton Anne |
3/1(-84%) | (3) Eaton Anne 3/1, Successful in November on his only start in Irish points and showed plenty of ability on his Rules debut when third of 11 in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good) just over 3 weeks ago, albeit well positioned. Fancied to build on that effort. Irish point winner; placed in recent Southwell maiden hurdle; has potential. |

3rd (7) (9/1 -29%) Mandega |
9/1(-29%) | (7) Mandega 9/1, Fair Flat winner who offered minor promise in a handful of starts over hurdles last winter. Arrives fit from the level and he's certainly not ruled out. Showed aptitude for hurdling against own age-group last season; placed on Flat last week. |

4th (4) (13/2 +7%) Kingston Narcissus |
13/2(+7%) | (4) Kingston Narcissus 13/2, Fair and consistent maiden on Flat in France (stays 15f) for E. Libaud (sold €30,000 in November). Backed at long odds and offered something to work on fitted with a hood when fifth of 11 in novice at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) on hurdling debut recently and is entitled to progress. Placed a few times on the Flat in France and shaped with promise on recent hurdle debut. |

5th (2) (22/1 +33%) Bunker Bay |
22/1(+33%) | (2) Bunker Bay 22/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m), won once in 2023. Sold from William Knight's yard for 13,000 gns in October but been well beaten in maiden/novice hurdle this year. Looks one for handicaps after this. Fair on the Flat but soundly beaten on both hurdling starts. |

7th (6) (150/1 -50%) Robiola |
150/1(-50%) | (6) Robiola 150/1, Modest in bumpers and ran to only a similar level on Uttoxeter hurdle debut in April 2022. Tailed off on sole Flat start last year and is seemingly very hard to train, shaping as if needing the run back over hurdles after another year off at Hexham earlier this month. Struggled when 150-1 for recent Hexham novice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (200/1 -33%) Racquet Club |
200/1(-33%) | (5) Racquet Club 200/1, Failed to trouble the judge in 3 runs on the Flat for Johnny Murtagh in 2022 and has achieved nothing in 3 starts in novice hurdles this spring. Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three recent novice hurdles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HAARAR has been busy of late switching between codes and he must hold every chance on the back of a taking success at Southwell last time. A 7lb penalty will make life tougher, but he should have too much for Eaton Anne, who showed plenty of promise himself when third at the same track on his Rules debut. Kingston Narcissus is another open to improvement on just his second start for the Rebecca Menzies yard.
This can go to HAARAR, who did well to get there given his inexperience was still evident at Southwell just over a fortnight ago and with further progress on the cards, Sam England's charge can get the better of Eaton Anne, who showed plenty of ability on his Rules debut at that same track earlier this month. Mandega and Kingston Narcissus are also both interesting and can fight out third.
The suggestion is former French Flat-racer KINGSTON NARCISSUS, who ran well for a long way on his recent hurdling debut.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Having finished runner-up on her last two starts, TINGARRAN EXPRESS can get back to winning ways. The Denise O'Shea-trained mare beat a subsequent winner at Clonmel in April, before finding just one too good on her most recent outings. A strong traveller, the seven-year-old should be right at home around this tight track. The lightly raced Bigira ran her best race to date latest when staying on to finish third of 14 at Kilbeggan. Mark Fahey's mare shouldn't be too far away here. Toon Town, who kept on strongly after the last when a nearest at the finish third here earlier this month, is another that should make his presence felt in what looks a competitive affair for the grade.
TINGARRAN EXPRESS has just the one win to her name but she ran another solid race when chasing home an unexposed rival at Clonmel 13 days ago (clear of rest) and she looks a sound player once again in this groove. Bigira, Trishknowsbest and Toon Town are others to consider, whilst it's unlikely we've seen the best of Divilabother just yet.
Preference is for the consistent TINGARRAN EXPRESS, who should be better suited to this trip than the 2m3f at Clonmel last time.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
MELISENDE was denied by just under a length into second on her handicap debut at Yarmouth last month and she goes off the same mark. With William Buick booked and the possibility of more to come, she could prove very hard to beat. The main threat is Bint Havana Gold, who hit the frame over C&D last time and it would be no surprise to see her get involved, while Soldier's Class is another to consider.
Stall 10 may not be ideal for THUNDER FLOW but he's a lightly-raced type for a leading yard and he's shaped a couple of times as though potentially better than this sort of mark. Ten Club may resume his progress back on the AW, with Hearitfortheboys also considered.
Thunder Flow and Hearitfortheboys are high on the list but CRAFTY SPIRIT has the look of a big improver now he's handicapping.

11/2(+50%) | (13) Clean Getaway 11/2, Still winless over hurdles and made little impact in trio of starts between the flags prior to a creditable fourth back under Rules in a Sedgefield handicap hurdle (16.8f) earlier this month. Ran big race when second in this event last year and returns here after a good recent run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (11/1 -29%) Bushmill Boy |
11/1(-29%) | (11) Bushmill Boy 11/1, Long-standing maiden who dispelled a lesser effort when finishing runner-up behind a wide-margin winner at Hexham (16.2f) in March. Each-way possibilities again. 0-20 over hurdles but is reasonably consistent; ran well last time; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/2 +31%) Ruler Of The River |
11/2(+31%) | (6) Ruler Of The River 11/2, Maiden on the Flat who stayed on well to open her account in a juvenile maiden at Kelso (16.2f) in March. Probably best not judged too harshly on exploits in this sphere next 2 starts and she comes here on the back of a couple of spins on the Flat. Not discounted. Won juvenile maiden hurdle in March but subsequent hurdle/Flat form has been underwhelming. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (16/1 -14%) My Brother Jack |
16/1(-14%) | (4) My Brother Jack 16/1, Modest Flat winner and a similar standard over hurdles without managing to get his head in front. Below form with usual blinkers left off (back on here) when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago but possible he'll be sharper with that under his belt here. Placed off 7lb higher in the autumn; a possible if recent reappearance run brought him on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (25/1 -233%) Toscan Genius |
25/1(-233%) | (5) Toscan Genius 25/1, Modest Flat winner who was runner-up on debut in this sphere in November and caught the eye on qualifying run when sixth in a Sedgefield novice (16.8f) 3 weeks ago, noted finishing with running left. Possible he could do better yet on that evidence and worth a second look here. Second to short-odds favourite on hurdle debut but disappointing since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (16/1 +0%) Razzo Italiano |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Razzo Italiano 16/1, Scored at Southwell in November 2022 but absent since pulling up in a Leicester claimer in February of last year. Another who may be best guided by the betting back from 16 months off. Absent since pulled up in a claimer in February 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (28/1 +15%) Coeur Aimant |
28/1(+15%) | (14) Coeur Aimant 28/1, Didn't take to chasing following a promising return over hurdles last summer and ran some way below pick of his form in this sphere when eighth of 13 in handicap at Perth (16.2f) 5 weeks ago. Work to do from out of the weights here. Second off lowly mark on heavy ground last summer but has not shown a great deal since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (7/1 +50%) Broadford Publican |
7/1(+50%) | (10) Broadford Publican 7/1, Fared better than previously for current yard when fourth in a Hexham seller (16.2f) at the start of the month but found things tougher back in handicap company at that venue 8 days ago. Others rate that bit stronger. Not beaten far in a seller this month but yet to be placed after 13 runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (12/1 +25%) Victory March |
12/1(+25%) | (2) Victory March 12/1, Modest form over hurdles in 2021 when trained in Ireland. Since won several times on the Flat (all on the AW) for Seb Spencer. Well held in 2 starts in that sphere for new yard and no sure thing to build on his latest midfield effort back over hurdles at Perth 2 weeks ago. Well beaten on both AW starts for stable but ran okay when back over hurdles this month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (20/1 -186%) George Mallory |
20/1(-186%) | (9) George Mallory 20/1, Twice a runner-up prior to opening his account over hurdles in 9-runner Uttoxeter handicap (15.7f) last July. Absent since so market may prove a good guide as to expectations here. Clearcut winner at Uttoxeter on latest outing, but that was ten months ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Not seen in action since getting off the mark in this sphere at Uttoxeter last July, GEORGE MALLORY could be the one to be with on his return. The eight-year-old is the only last-time-out winner in the field, and he may have enough to see off Callin Baton Rouge, who performed with some credit when second over further at Fontwell. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Bushmill Boy, Calevade and My Brother Jack.
A tricky selling handicap but TOSCAN GENIUS caught the eye on his qualifying run in a Sedgefield novice 3 weeks ago, noted finishing with running left and, going handicapping at a low level, he could be worth siding with to confirm the promise showed then. Last year's winner Calevade, Callin Baton Rouge and Ruler of The River are others to consider.
Philip Kirby's CLEAN GETAWAY went down fighting when second in this race last year and might go one better today.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SUNWALK may improve sufficiently from his recent reappearance fifth over course and distance to play a leading role. The Seamus Neville-trained six-year-old was always prominent and only weakened from the second last flight. With that run under his belt, the gelding should be that bit sharper now. Although an infrequent winner, Future Proof has to enter calculations for the in-form Philip Rothwell stable. Twice successful on the level, the nine-year-old has yet to add to his sole win over hurdles. He will find few easier opportunities than the one he is presented with here. Mullins Cross has been running well enough of late to suggest that she, too, can get involved at the business end.
Perhaps one of the handicap newcomers can take a step forward, with GLASGOW DAN the suggestion after catching the eye in a couple of his qualifying runs. Desert Cave and Darcy's Friend are other handicap debutants to monitor closely in the market, while Shark Hanlon's Mullins Cross should also be competitive on the back of a decent effort at Downpatrick recently.
SUNWALK wasn't beaten far on soft over C&D last time and the better ground today can suit, so he could get off the mark over hurdles.

Rhapsody In Blue |
(6) (18/1 +28%)18/1(+28%) | (6) Rhapsody In Blue 18/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1 and hooded for first time, sixth of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 6 days ago. Hasn't shown enough in her first two starts to suggest she'll be making an impact today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (4) (7/2 -154%) Cervaro Della Sala |
7/2(-154%) | (4) Cervaro Della Sala 7/2, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 7/2 and tongue strap on for first time, creditable second of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 6 days ago. Standard bearer. 0-7 but went close at Lingfield last week and leading claims if reproducing that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2/1 +56%) Eternal Spring |
2/1(+56%) | (1) Eternal Spring 2/1, Similar form all 3 starts at this venue, third of 11 in novice event (7f, 9/1) 7 days ago. All three starts over 7f here, showing promise each time; drops to 6f; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/2 -25%) Lady Flora |
5/2(-25%) | (2) Lady Flora 5/2, Well backed 6 months on from debut but merely matched that form when fifth of 11 in maiden at this course (7f, 7/2) 44 days ago, slowly away. Promise on sole 2yo run; didn't build on that here last month but retains potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 +90%) Cordelin |
4/1(+90%) | (5) Cordelin 4/1, Tongue strap on, too green to show much when tenth of 12 in novice event at Chelmsford City (7f, 80/1) on debut. Off 6 months. Down the field at Chelmsford last November on sole start; has to leave that well behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -39%) Princess Jastar |
25/1(-39%) | (3) Princess Jastar 25/1, Still looked green when fourth of 6 in novice event at Lingfield (6f, AW) 27 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Behind some of these when eighth on debut here and a lesser run followed at Lingfield. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Eternal Spring (sixth) can overturn the form with Lady Flora (fifth) from their meeting over 7f here last month, as that was the former's debut effort and she has shown improvement to finish third the last twice. However, they could both be up against it to deny CERVARO DELLA SALA, who occupied the runner-up spot over 7f at Lingfield last time and should have no issues with this drop in distance. The daughter of Bungle Inthejungle has plenty of experience and can put that to good use.
CERVARO DELLA SALA is pretty exposed after 7 starts but the level she's achieved in that time is in advance of the opposition here so a first win could be forthcoming. Lady Flora and Eternal Spring are the viable threats.
Having gone close at Lingfield last week, CERVARO DELLA SALA is taken to get off the mark at the eighth attempt.

Kidman |
(7) (9/1 +0%)9/1(+0%) | (7) Kidman 9/1, Lightly-raced hurdler who improved when second of 4 in novice at Newcastle (22f) in November 2022. After a further 16 months off, shaped as if retaining his ability when fourth in a Kelso maiden in March, so task is now to build on his latest effort sent handicapping. Shaped well at Kelso in March, after a long layoff; on workable mark for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our Laura B |
(6) (11/4 +45%)11/4(+45%) | (6) Our Laura B 11/4, Improved for the switch to handicapping, winning a pair of mares' events at Newcastle (both at 20.3f) last spring. Ran creditably on her return when fourth at Sedgefield early this month, before seeming stretched by the longer trip here (25.4f) 4 days ago. Shortlisted. Didn't run badly in 3m1f mares' race here on Saturday; could have a say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (3) (13/8 +60%) Imperial Data |
13/8(+60%) | (3) Imperial Data 13/8, Irish point winner who improved after undergoing a wind op last season, winning a maiden hurdle at Kelso and back-to-back handicaps at Sedgefield (both at 19.8f). Ran well after 7 months off when fifth at Hexham 18 days ago and he's a contender with that run behind him. Won three times in the autumn and made pleasing reappearance this month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/1 +9%) Hurricane Ali |
5/1(+9%) | (1) Hurricane Ali 5/1, Went without a win last season but placed on four occasions. Shaped as if still in form when fifth of 7 at Doncaster (16.6f) on his final outing in December, so he's one to note as he drops back in grade on first run for yard after leaving John Mackie. Has fitness and stamina to prove but makes stable debut from a good mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (9/1 +0%) Vocal Duke |
9/1(+0%) | (8) Vocal Duke 9/1, Back on-song when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces at Carlisle (17.2f) in October. Hasn't been able to repeat that effort in his 2 subsequent outings, fifth of 10 at Catterick on New Year's Day, but he's capable if on a going day as he goes up in trip. Regressive 8yo who is yet to add to his 2m1f course win two years ago; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (8/1 +0%) Gastibelza |
8/1(+0%) | (5) Gastibelza 8/1, Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner in France, leaving Gabriel Leenders after Fontainebleau claiming chase success (19.1f) in February. Let down by her jumping at Ludlow on her stable debut in April, but she's not written off back over hurdles at a left-handed track. Six-time winner in France; easily beaten in a match (over fences) on British debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (14/1 +44%) Be The Difference |
14/1(+44%) | (9) Be The Difference 14/1, Recorded back-to-back wins at Ayr in November 2021 and held his form well for the remainder of that campaign. Absent for 26 months prior to the current season, failing to complete through no fault of his own at Perth 2 weeks ago. This run should reveal more. Had been absent for 26 months before coming to grief at Perth a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/2 -29%) Tactical Affair |
9/2(-29%) | (2) Tactical Affair 9/2, Winner of a Cork maiden on second start over hurdles when trained by Gordon Elliott. Not discredited on his stable debut when runner-up in novice at Warwick (16f) in March and he can leave behind a lesser effort now handicapping with tongue strap added. Major player. Ran well in defeat on stable debut in March and has been given a chance by the handicapper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (13/2 +59%) Western Run |
13/2(+59%) | (4) Western Run 13/2, It's now been twenty-five runs since his last win back in 2020. Reverted to hurdling after 8 months off, found less than looked likely when fifth of 11 in handicap at Perth (20.2f) in April. Continues to fall in the weights but others still preferred. Ran okay last month, after a layoff, but others have more persuasive profiles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A highly-progressive sort last year, IMPERIAL DATA returned from a 202-day absence with a decent effort at Hexham when staying on late in the day for fifth. That gave the distinct impression he would enjoy a step up in trip and he gets that opportunity now, with the unexposed Tactical Affair looking best placed to chase him home. Hurricane Ali and Our Laura B cannot be ruled out either.
TACTICAL AFFAIR may have disappointed at Ffos Las on his latest outing, but it remains early days for his current yard so he's well worth another chance upped to a trip that should suit as he makes his handicap debut. Imperial Data made an encouraging reappearance at Hexham 18 days ago and is respected, with Our Laura B also considered back down in distance.
This can go to IMPERIAL DATA (nap), who returned from a break with a satisfactory recent run and may now resume his autumn progress.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
With the Paul Nolan string having really hit form in the last couple of weeks, CUT THE ROPE could gain his first success over hurdles. A bumper win at Naas on his racecourse debut last January, the five-year-old has twice filled the runner-up position since going jumping. Having run really well in a maiden on the flat last time, the son of Sea The Stars looks the one to beat. Dual French winner Innatendue has yet to get her head in front in this country but has shaped with promise on more than one occasion. The John McConnell-trained mare appears to have leading claims. Slim Marvel, who only lost out by a nose at this track last November, shouldn't be far away on her return visit.
CUT THE ROPE ran well on the Flat at Gowran last month and gets the nod back hurdling for Paul Nolan. Innatendue has had a few chances but is more than capable of going close in a race like this and is second choice ahead of Andrew Slattery's Slim Marvel.
A recent Flat run at Gowran suggests that CUT THE ROPE is in good shape. His hurdles form is sufficiently strong to win him the vote

2nd (5) (8/1 -33%) Tyger Bay |
8/1(-33%) | (5) Tyger Bay 8/1, Four-time C&D winner. 7/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft) 31 days ago, pushed out. Shortlist material up 3 lb from stall 1. Four-time C&D winner; comes here on a hat-trick after two soft-ground turf wins; respected. |

4th (3) (15/2 -25%) Holy Fire |
15/2(-25%) | (3) Holy Fire 15/2, C&D winner. 12/1, pulled up in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) 25 days ago, possibly amiss. Return to the AW will suit. Good record over C&D but pulled up on turf latest; needs a career-best to win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (80/1 -21%) Atalanta's Boy |
80/1(-21%) | (6) Atalanta's Boy 80/1, Untrustworthy individual. Seven wins from 25 Flat runs. 150/1, eighteenth of 19 in handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good to soft). Off 20 months. New yard. Absent for 626 days and looks best watched on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (7/2 +42%) One More Wave |
7/2(+42%) | (9) One More Wave 7/2, Winner at Wolverhampton in March. Respectable seventh of 26 in a deeper handicap than he had been contesting handicap at Ascot (6f, good to firm, 20/1) 18 days ago. Three sound handicap runs since his AW maiden win; others stronger for the win though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (5/1 +23%) Hierarchy |
5/1(+23%) | (4) Hierarchy 5/1, Respectable 3½ lengths sixth of 10 to Change Sings in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 9/2) 11 days ago, left poorly placed as the race panned out. Not taken lightly. Promising return at Newmarket 11 days ago; Group 3-placed over C&D as a 2yo; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (66/1 -313%) Walking On Clouds |
66/1(-313%) | (8) Walking On Clouds 66/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 83 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark if he can build on that. On a dangerous mark but not at his best when last seen; drawn widest too. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (11/1 -47%) Capote's Dream |
11/1(-47%) | (7) Capote's Dream 11/1, C&D winner. Not seen to best effect when fourteenth of 26 in handicap (25/1) at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces back on. 2-time C&D winner; not at best at Ascot last time but he's the type to bounce back quickly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (16/1 -60%) Buraback |
16/1(-60%) | (11) Buraback 16/1, Four wins from 10 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, heavy, 12/1) 32 days ago. Pitched into a far better race but he's clearly thriving. Thrived for cheekpieces & a drop in trip, winning 4 of his last 5 starts; this is tougher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (16/1 +27%) Ayr Harbour |
16/1(+27%) | (1) Ayr Harbour 16/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap (40/1) at Meydan (7f). Off 15 months and while this is a drop in grade, his well-being has to be taken on trust. Smart in his prime; absent for 467 days; remains to be seen how much ability retains. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CHANGE SINGS was always in control when scoring from the front at Newmarket recently and a 4lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to follow up at a track where he is unbeaten in two starts. A winner of four of his last five outings, Buraback is another who arrives in top form and must surely go close along with One More Wave, who has strong claims on his penultimate second over C&D.
CHANGE SINGS was all the fitter for his reappearance when making all at Newmarket 11 days ago and this upwardly-mobile sprinter can defy a 4 lb higher mark. Tyger Bay can boast an excellent Kempton record and stall 1 should help his cause, with the thriving Buraback not discounted at the foot of the weights.
Change Sings is progressive but this race might set up more favourably for HIERARCHY than when the pair clashed 11 days ago.

Alqamar |

Accidental Rebel |
(1) (33/1 +0%)33/1(+0%) | (1) Accidental Rebel 33/1, Useful hurdler at best for Fergal O'Brien, winning 4 times from 6 starts in the 2022/23 campaign. However, absent for 14 months subsequently and has offered little in 2 Perth handicap hurdles for new stable this spring. Former Grade 2 winner but looks to have completely lost his way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (9) (8/15 +79%) City Derby |
8/15(+79%) | (9) City Derby 8/15, Gambled on from a reduced mark following a breathing operation and duly returned to form with his third near-miss over C&D in the space of a year on Monday (clear of Sean Og in third). Back to form following a wind operation when runner-up here on Monday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (9/2 -29%) Boomslang |
9/2(-29%) | (7) Boomslang 9/2, Fair hurdler who made a good return from a break when second of 6 over 23f at Hexham 18 days ago. Should be competitive back in handicap company. On a fair mark on best form but good ground seems the key to him; watch the weather. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/2 +35%) Ilikedwayurthinkin |
11/2(+35%) | (3) Ilikedwayurthinkin 11/2, Useful winning handicap hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Has struggled for form over hurdles since coming to Britain but the headgear he often wore for his previous yard is back on for the first time since joining this stable. Market support would look significant. Seriously well handicapped on old form but very opposable on what he has been doing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (18/1 -50%) Finisk River |
18/1(-50%) | (2) Finisk River 18/1, Scored 4 times around 2½m in 2022. Back to form from reduced mark when second of 7 at Bangor last September but disappointing in only 2 runs since. Others are more obvious. Dual course winner but an 11yo now and has become inconsistent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (22/1 -144%) Court Dreaming |
22/1(-144%) | (6) Court Dreaming 22/1, Didn't appear to enjoy himself back chasing at Hexham this month but reached the frame in a couple of handicap hurdles at the end of 2023 and feasibly treated if a return to hurdles sparks a revival. Needs good ground; on a useful mark if putting his best foot forward back over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (22/1 -144%) Yukon |
22/1(-144%) | (4) Yukon 22/1, Fair maiden on Flat but struck at first time of asking over hurdles in maiden at Sedgefield in October 2022. Also second in a 17f handicap hurdle here a year ago but he ran poorly at Catterick when last seen in December. Yard's good record in this race provides some hope. Second at this meeting last year and heavy/soft ground hasn't suited since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN had excuses for being well beaten in this grade at Kelso earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 4lb for that effort. Ben Haslam's veteran lurks on an appealing mark and he gets the nod, with his main threat possibly being Boomslang, who finished second in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time and could remain competitive back in the handicap ranks. Of the remainder, Finisk River makes the most appeal under Brian Hughes.
A chance is taken on the return of headgear sparking ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN back to life, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Boomslang is respected on the back of his second in a maiden at Hexham earlier this month, while Court Dreaming is still capable off this sort of mark if on a going day.
The 7yo YUKON wouldn't be suited by much rain but good to soft would be okay and he went close at this meeting 12 months ago.

Sets the standard and is clearly the one to beat. His third in a conditions race at Punchestown gives him strong claims in this company. |

6/1(+33%) | (5) Oscars Brother 6/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. One win from 3 runs last season. First run since leaving Damian Murphy when fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft, 11/4) 16 days ago. Stays 3m, needs to step up on Killarney showing when he was his trainer's first runner. |

Kelly when second of 10 in hunter chase at Tipperary (23.4f, good to soft) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Not discounted back over hurdles. Winner of all four completed starts in points since last November, stamina not an issue. |

Switches from chase to hurdles. Seems to have lost his way for the time being. Has a good record at this course (2-5 and placed three times), recent form is off-putting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (33/1 +0%) The Niffler |
33/1(+0%) | (3) The Niffler 33/1, Fair hurdler. 13/2, career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 14 days ago, cosily. Significantly up in trip. Difficult ask. Progressive handicap hurdler, takes a big climb in class and distance but is in form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Despite having questions to answer now after failing to complete on his three most recent starts, the Paul Nolan-trained JOYEUX MACHIN looks the one to beat. Twice a winner at this venue, the seven-year-old seems to reserve his best for his local track where he rarely runs a bad race. Antrim Coast was just denied over this trip at Cheltenham in October, having won his maiden over 2m4f on his previous start. The Gavin Cromwell-trained six-year-old has leading claims. Oscars Brother was impressive when winning his maiden hurdle over this distance at Limerick before running respectably in two subsequent starts. The more rain that comes the stronger his chances of providing Connor King with a first winner in the training ranks.
ANTRIM COAST's third at Punchestown is the best piece of recent form on offer and a performance of similar merit should be enough to land this. Rocky's Diamond is open to further progress and looks the main danger, while Pray Tell isn't without hope.
This is a good opportunity for ANTRIM COAST who was taking on useful opposition when third at the Punchestown festival

40/1(-233%) | (7) Wimbledon Hawkeye 40/1, Foaled February 24. Kameko colt. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 7f James Garfield. Yard 0-5 with their juveniles so far this term. Lots to like on paper & trainer quickly making a name for himself; this looks warm though. |

Dam 1m (Sun Chariot/Falmouth Stakes) winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for leading yard and high on the shortlist. Half-brother to three winners out of a 1m Group 1 winner; top yard; market instructive. |

4th (2) (14/1 +44%) Brindavan |
14/1(+44%) | (2) Brindavan 14/1, Belardo colt who didn't go without promise when fifth of 8 in a Newmarket novice (6f) on debut 10 days ago, ridden over 2f out and no extra final 1f. Open to improvement with that under his belt. Shaped with promise on Newmarket debut 10 days ago; bred to stay; his experience is a plus. |

Enters calculations on debut. 92,000gns half-brother to two winners in Europe; yard in full stride now; check betting. |

7th (1) (150/1 -50%) Badeco |
150/1(-50%) | (1) Badeco 150/1, Foaled March 1. £20,000 yearling, 5,000 gns 2-y-o, Invincible Army colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Zurigha. Rates a likely outsider on racecourse bow. Sales price dropped to 5,000gns as a 2yo; would be a surprise winner on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Sire Blue Point has been having a good time of things recently and it can pay to side with his newcomer INGOT, whose mother Integral won her first two starts. The Cheveley Park-owned colt is narrowly preferred to Cavallo Bay, who is by star juvenile Pinatubo, who recently sired his first winner at York. The Ralph Beckett stable can do little wrong at present and Chelsea Embankment is another to note.
CAVALLO BAY makes plenty of appeal on paper and with his leading yard having made a bright start with their juveniles, he could be the way to go before the benefit of market clues. Similar comments apply to Ingot and he merits respect for John & Thady Gosden. Brindavan rates a likely improver having showed ability on debut at Newmarket 10 days ago.
Hott Shott and Ingot are respected newcomers but so too is CAVALLO BAY. He can continue the stable's hot streak.

Augharue |
(5) (5/1 +0%)5/1(+0%) | (5) Augharue 5/1, Good second of 11 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (17f, good, 10/1) 19 days ago, just failing. Enters calculations for all that he's not the most consistent. Ran game race from the front when very close second at Sedgefield this month. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (11) (10/1 +29%) Melvich Bay |
10/1(+29%) | (11) Melvich Bay 10/1, Poor hurdler who hasn't been firing of late. Unexposed in this sphere (jumped better as race wore on on chase debut in February) and worthy of a market check despite being out of the weights. Stayed on for third on chase debut in February but needs more from out of the weights here. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (5/1 +38%) Contre Ordre |
5/1(+38%) | (7) Contre Ordre 5/1, Capitalised on a career-low mark to land 17f Sedgefield handicap chase in November. Has generally struggled since, but latest fifth (in first-time blinkers) at Perth was a more positive step. Has very mixed record since Sedgefield win in November but is 4lb lower now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (4/1 +60%) Fathers Advice |
4/1(+60%) | (9) Fathers Advice 4/1, Runner-up 4 times over hurdles and found one too good on fourth attempt in this sphere at Newcastle in January. Respectable effort there since and not ruled out returning from a short break. 25-race maiden; not easy to enthuse over but went close over hurdles here last summer. |

5th (8) (11/4 +63%) Methusalar |
11/4(+63%) | (8) Methusalar 11/4, Winner at Bangor for Alan King back in 2022 but struggled for present connections over both sets of obstacles in recent months. Becoming well treated. Recent hurdle run was a step back in the right direction; still makes only limited appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (28/1 +0%) Barley Breeze |
28/1(+0%) | (10) Barley Breeze 28/1, Some form in bumpers but has shown very little over obstacles, including for this yard. Has failed to complete his last four races; big leap of faith required to support him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (7/1 -27%) Libby |
7/1(-27%) | (3) Libby 7/1, Fair form over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien and more encouragement for this yard the last twice, third of 4 at Perth a fortnight ago. Mark is becoming appealing and can't be ruled out. 0-5 over fences and 0-24 overall but seems to have been aided by a visor lately. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (10/1 +0%) Grand Soufle |
10/1(+0%) | (1) Grand Soufle 10/1, Scored here in 2022 but he's not the easiest to train and failed to beat a rival over hurdles last time. Off 114 days since and worth monitoring in the betting switched to chasing. Seen only twice again since winning maiden hurdle here in August 2022; chase debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
AUGHARUE had Libby (third) behind when only denied by a short head into second at Sedgefield last time and he is only 3lb higher for that display. Stuart Coltherd's seven-year-old could prove tough to beat if he runs to the level again. His main danger might be Sword Of Fate, who was beaten just over a length when attempting to make all over 2m4f at Perth on his latest outing and he should remain competitive off the same mark, while Guillaume is another to note.
SWORD OF FATE is handicapped to win and, having bounced back to form at Perth last time, he's fancied to add another C&D success to his record. Augharue is a danger if in the same form as last time and Grand Soufle is an interesting chasing debutant for a trainer that does well at his local track.
Ex-Irish maiden LIBBY seems to have been aided by a visor lately and might be ready to exploit her reduced mark.

3rd (6) (11/1 +67%) Tramps Like Us |
11/1(+67%) | (6) Tramps Like Us 11/1, 12/1, respectable ninth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.6f, good) 18 days ago. Booking of Shinnick a plus. Others more persuasive. A good run at Bellewstown but was below that level at Cork after a bad mistake. |

4th (5) (16/1 -146%) Doyen Flyer |
16/1(-146%) | (5) Doyen Flyer 16/1, Promising individual. 28/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (23.2f, good) 33 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again and there could be more to come. Best run when raised to 2m7f at Downpatrick last time and a player if repeating that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/2 +30%) Plain Or Battered |
7/2(+30%) | (4) Plain Or Battered 7/2, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at this course (24.2f, heavy, 5/1) 11 days ago. Should go well again Was game to get off the mark over C&D in a stronger race and go well even raised 7lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (11/2 +35%) Spatman De Cerisy |
11/2(+35%) | (7) Spatman De Cerisy 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good to soft, 25/1) 14 days ago, running on. Worthy of consideration. Improved form when raised to this trip at Tipperary last time and can go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (12/1 +52%) Jonny Mansie |
12/1(+52%) | (11) Jonny Mansie 12/1, 25/1, tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) 48 days ago. Up in trip. A better effort on second handicap start last time but takes a big jump in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (14/1 -17%) Lispopple |
14/1(-17%) | (9) Lispopple 14/1, 20/1, fourth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Naas (23.8f, soft) 55 days ago. Others make more appeal. A better effort on handicap debut at Naas and a solid shout if improving from that. |

9th (17) (40/1 -100%) Ask And Answer |
40/1(-100%) | (17) Ask And Answer 40/1, 22/1, bit below form tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.6f, good) 18 days ago. RESERVE. Triple winner was well beaten on return from a long absence but can improve; reserve. |

|PU| (3) (14/1 +58%) On The Tide |
14/1(+58%) | (3) On The Tide 14/1, Bit below form sixth of 10 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Tramore (21.4f, good to soft) 38 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not discounted. Has shown some ability in maidens but handicap form leaves him with a bit to find. |

|PU| (8) (28/1 +15%) Desperado Genie |
28/1(+15%) | (8) Desperado Genie 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, soft, 22/1) 40 days ago. Booking of Millar a plus Remains with potential. Was poor on handicap debut at Ballinrobe and not easy to fancy after that. |

80/1(-21%) | (13) Bellachamps 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Last of 10 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Clonmel (16.4f, soft) 41 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others make more appeal. Beaten a long way on h'cap debut last time but this better ground might suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MAHLER APPEAL, a winner here over fences on his latest start, appeals off a 12lb lower mark back over flights. The Garrett Power-trained eight-year-old was recording a first win under rules but he had previously been successful in a point-to-point. With his stamina assured and a proven liking for this trip, the gelding looks a leading contender under Sean Flanagan. Three By Two, who finished runner-up in the La Touche last time, should appreciate this lesser emphasis on stamina. The mare is relatively lightly raced under rules so has scope for improvement. Recent course and distance winner Plain Or Battered has an additional 7lb to carry as a result but should again be competitive.
FLICKER OF HOPE justified strong support with an improved showing to score at Clonmel recently and this extra distance should be no issue, so he's capable of following up at the possible expense of Doyen Flyer, who is also open to further progress. Mahler Appeal is respected, too.
SPATMAN DE CERISY showed improved form raised to this trip at Tipperary last time and should have more to give off the same mark.

1st (3) (4/1 +0%) Fair Angellica |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Fair Angellica 4/1, Created a favourable impression in 2023, going 3-3 on her turf/handicap debut at Newmarket (7f) in October. Shaped well back from 7 months off when second of 5 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, soft) 25 days ago and she's very much of interest again. Travelled strongly on her return (7f, soft) but picked off by a stronger stayer; contender. |

2nd (6) (13/8 +53%) Shin Jidai |
13/8(+53%) | (6) Shin Jidai 13/8, 7/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good) 29 days ago, driven out. Makes polytrack debut. Can go well again. 2lb rise for Yarmouth reappearance win looks lenient given how that form has worked out. |

3rd (4) (8/1 -14%) Lou Lou's Gift |
8/1(-14%) | (4) Lou Lou's Gift 8/1, Lope De Vega filly who made it third time lucky despite still looking rough around the edges when landing 7-runner Newcastle Novice (6f) in November. In top hands and she promises to do better again now handicapping. Tongue strap left off. 6f AW winner when last seen (hung left in front); bred to stay 7f well; tongue-tie off now. |

4th (1) (14/1 -65%) Moonspirit |
14/1(-65%) | (1) Moonspirit 14/1, Steadily progressive as a 3-y-o, signing off last year with back-to-back victories at Chelmsford (1m) in the autumn. Shaped as if needing her reappearance on softer ground than previously at Bath (1m) 31 days ago and better showing anticipated. Three wins last year, all at 1m; dropped away on Bath return; now drops in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (35/1 -150%) Imperial Express |
35/1(-150%) | (9) Imperial Express 35/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, below form sixth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 50 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Best effort came over C&D but she'll need much more to make a winning handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (11/1 -22%) War Bride |
11/1(-22%) | (7) War Bride 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, very good second of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 28 days ago, well positioned. This looks a little tougher but she's steadily going the right way. Good second over 6f here on handicap debut; up 2lb and needs more for the new trip. |

7th (2) (20/1 -82%) Sayifyouwill |
20/1(-82%) | (2) Sayifyouwill 20/1, 4-time C&D winner. 11/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and she lines up here on a handy mark. Not out of things. Conditions to suit, on a good mark and shaped well latest; unexposed 3yos to deal with now. |

12/1(+14%) | (8) Zainabb 12/1, Attracted support and showed improved form back from 6 months off when second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (7f) in April. Not disgraced when fifth back at that venue tackling 1m 31 days ago and she's another holding claims. 0-6 but solid efforts at Southwell the last twice; should give her running once again. |

9th (5) (14/1 -115%) Bigger Than Giga |
14/1(-115%) | (5) Bigger Than Giga 14/1, Two wins from 5 starts last year (including a C&D maiden) and found further progress back from 8 months off when third of 10 to Shin Jidai in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good) 29 days ago. 2 lb better off with that rival for 1 length here and another in with a shout. C&D win at 2; good third in strong race at Yarmouth on return; work to do with Shin Jidai. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (25/1 -150%) Rating |
25/1(-150%) | (10) Rating 25/1, Good placed efforts in nurseries at the back of end last season and returned with another sound performance when third of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 8/1) 43 days ago, first home in the far-side group. Eased 1 lb since but she may just lack the potential of one or two here. Placed on her last three starts & ran well in one start here last year; needs more to win. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Sayifyouwill makes the shortlist with her four C&D victories, the latest off 2lb higher. Bigger Than Giga won her maiden here and is another to take seriously after her Yarmouth third, but FAIR ANGELLICA could be the one. The winner of her first three starts, she was only beaten a length at Goodwood off 2lb lower where the soft ground appeared to blunt her speed, so a return to the all-weather could be ideal.
SHIN JIDAI and Bigger Than Giga were first and third respectively in a race that is working out well at Yarmouth 4 weeks ago and could be the pair to focus on, the former narrowly preferred to confirm the placings on these revised terms. Fair Angellica and Lou Lou's Gift are another low-mileage pair to keep on side.
The Yarmouth handicap in which SHIN JIDAI (nap) beat Bigger Than Giga is strong form and she can defy her small rise in the weights

1st (3) (9/4 +36%) Kilta |
9/4(+36%) | (3) Kilta 9/4, Showed much improved form to get off the mark on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, heavy) in March and shaped best when runner-up at Haydock next time. Very much caught the eye at Kelso last time and he's a respected chase newcomer despite racing from way out of the weights. Progressive over hurdles towards end of last season; 12lb wrong for chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (Evens -100%) Dreal Deal |
Evens(-100%) | (1) Dreal Deal Evens, Off the mark over fences at Down Royal in April and had plenty in hand when doubling his tally in a 7-runner novice chase at Wexford (16f, heavy) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Should take plenty of beating. Grade 2 hurdle winner in 2021 and a dual chase winner this spring; commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/2 -13%) Glynn |
9/2(-13%) | (2) Glynn 9/2, Evidently not easy to train but he was a fairly useful hurdler for Nicky Henderson. Point winner but was held when unseating late at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 53 days ago. Needs to step forward from that but at least is able to race from his actual mark. Just a respectable third over hurdles on stable debut and unseated rider on chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Useful hurdler DREAL DEAL has found his stride over the larger obstacles of late and despite having to concede 19lb all round, John McConnell's gelding is hard to oppose. The way in which he travelled into contention at Wexford 11 days ago would suggest he has plenty more in the locker, and he's preferred to Glynn, who should be more streetwise having unseated on his fencing bow last month. Kilta can chase the pair home.
Irish raider DREAL DEAL impressed with the manner of his victory at Wexford last month and should prove up to successfully conceding weight all round here. Kilta made a really encouraging start to life in handicap hurdles and rates the main threat despite racing from out of the weights, although Glynn isn't fully ruled out on the pick of his hurdles form.
The most obvious answer is DREAL DEAL, who is 2-3 since returned to chasing this spring and did it pretty easily at Wexford last time.

Serious Chat |
(10) (10/1 +17%)10/1(+17%) | (10) Serious Chat 10/1, €18,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. 16/1, offered something to work on when fifth of 16 in bumper at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good) on NH debut 22 days ago, leading until early in the straight and no extra final 100 yds. Can build on that now. Should have improved from debut run and go close with leading rider staying aboard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) (6/5 +60%) Lovely Hurling |
6/5(+60%) | (5) Lovely Hurling 6/5, Walk In The Park gelding. Seventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.6f, heavy, 80/1) on NH debut 60 days ago, not knocked about. Makes bumpers debut. Promising debut in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle at Easter; can improve enough to play a part. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (33/1 +0%) Laravie |
33/1(+0%) | (11) Laravie 33/1, Sans Frontieres mare. Showed a bit when sixth of 12 in bumper (40/1) at Tipperary (20f, good to soft) on NH debut 36 days ago, ridden approaching straight and plugging on. Solid debut effort in a Tipperary mares' bumper; this is much tougher against geldings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (12/1 -140%) Beaufort Scale |
12/1(-140%) | (2) Beaufort Scale 12/1, Fourth sole start in points (Dec 2023). Tongue strap on, fourth of 14 in bumper (15/2) at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Shaped like a stayer then so increase in trip rates a likely plus here. Sound bumper debut at Clonmel recently; he should have improved since, so looks a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (8/1 -100%) Mic Drop |
8/1(-100%) | (6) Mic Drop 8/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding who was a lightly raced winner in points and produced a fairly promising effort when third of 9 in bumper at Tipperary (18f, good to soft) on NH debut 20 days ago. Likely he can build on that. Point winner ran creditably in a Tipperary bumper (2m2f); can be involved again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (4/1 +67%) Remember'hesmine |
4/1(+67%) | (8) Remember'hesmine 4/1, Fair form at best in 5 starts in bumpers. 14/1, matched that level when third of 12 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Entitled to be thereabouts back in this sphere. Runner-up in a bumper and 3rd on hurdling debut over 2m6f last time; can be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (33/1 +34%) Sarrealta |
33/1(+34%) | (12) Sarrealta 33/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 20 days ago. Steps up in trip for bumper debut but she looks a likely type for later on. Beaten 23l in a Tipperary maiden hurdle on debut and has to improve plenty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (10/3 -90%) Dacman |
10/3(-90%) | (3) Dacman 10/3, Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to smart hurdler/very smart chase winner Sir Gerhard and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Hey Johnny. Highly respected on debut. Hails from a classy damline; automatically commands huge respect from this source. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (28/1 +72%) Oh Really |
28/1(+72%) | (7) Oh Really 28/1, Dansant gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Noble Talent. Dam, little impact in 2 points, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Emerging Talent. Pulled up sole start in points (Apr 21). Pulled-up on point debut last month and isn't easy to fancy on the back of that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (33/1 +59%) So Far Away |
33/1(+59%) | (13) So Far Away 33/1, Twice-raced maiden who showed a bit more than on debut when fifth of 10 in bumper (200/1) at Limerick (19f, heavy) 48 days ago. Needs to progress further if she's to play a part here. A much better effort at Limerick last month; needs another big step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

50/1(-355%) | (4) Jeu De Pic 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/4, seventh of 8 in bumper at Galway (16.7f, heavy) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Thought capable of better. Never going in testing ground on debut and tailed-off; is surely better than that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (150/1 -50%) As The Lad Says |
150/1(-50%) | (1) As The Lad Says 150/1, Sandmason gelding. Dam unraced. Last of 8 finishers completed start in points, pulled up last time (Apr 28). Passed over on bumper debut. Not much to show for three point runs and passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

200/1(+20%) | (9) Rock Of Baile Ur 200/1, €7,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Keepthefaithinme. Showed only greenness when fourteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19f, soft, 50/1) on NH debut 13 days ago, outpaced and always behind. Cheekpieces reached for on bumper debut. Tailed off in a Clonmel maiden hurdle on debut and can't be fancied; cheekpieces tried. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The locally-trained LOVELY HURLING can win this finale for Colm Murphy. Although only seventh on his recent racecourse debut at Fairyhouse, the gelding could have finished much closer but for a bad mistake two out. It would be no surprise to see him take a significant step forward here under John Gleeson. Dacman, a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Sir Gerhard, has to be of obvious interest. Willie Mullins does particularly well with the horses he runs in bumpers at this track so the hint should be taken. Point-to-point winner Mic Drop made an encouraging introduction when third at Tipperary recently. He should appreciate stepping up an additional two furlongs now.
DACMAN makes plenty of appeal on paper as a half-brother to smart hurdler/very smart chaser Sir Gerhard and he's very much of interest on bumper debut for his powerful stable. Mic Drop and Serious Chat are others fancied to be thereabouts, with Lovely Hurling and Beaufort Scale others to keep an eye on.
Having run a cracker on debut at Ballinrobe against a smart-looking Willie Mullins winner, SERIOUS CHAT can improve enough to win today

1st (5) (9/4 +32%) Mrs Twig |
9/4(+32%) | (5) Mrs Twig 9/4, After 6 months off, took a step forward when shedding her maiden tag in 13-runner C&D handicap in April. 11/2, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 12 days ago and she's another with claims. Won here last month before a creditable effort at Newbury; not ruled out back on Polytrack. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/2 -22%) Gold Aura |
11/2(-22%) | (4) Gold Aura 11/2, 15/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft) 30 days ago, faring best of those held up. Remains a maiden but likely she can make her presence felt. 0-13 but has form figures of 3242333 for current yard and she's respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/1 -11%) Golden Dove |
10/1(-11%) | (1) Golden Dove 10/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 21 days ago, good headway approaching final 1f and running on. Mark has crept up a little on the back of that but she's entitled to remain competitive. Runner-up over C&D last time and is a big player if this sets up for her closing style. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (17/2 +6%) Dynamiste |
17/2(+6%) | (6) Dynamiste 17/2, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 19 days ago, outpaced over 2f out and keeping on. Worth a crack at this longer trip on that evidence. Still lightly raced and this new trip could suit but she needs more progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/2 +13%) Polar Princess |
7/2(+13%) | (3) Polar Princess 7/2, In good form on AW prior to opening her account a shade cosily at Newcastle (12.5f) in February. Unable to replicate that level making turf debut at Chester 19 days ago but feasible to see her bounce back. Possibilities. Out the back at Chester but that was in a Class 4 on turf debut and she could bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (5/1 -82%) Red Dwarf |
5/1(-82%) | (8) Red Dwarf 5/1, Proving consistent on AW this year and stepped up a little on those efforts when shedding maiden tag in 13-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 4 weeks ago under De Sousa, staying on well. Up 5 lb in a stronger race now but certainly not out of things. In good form on AW since February and she won at Southwell last time; respected up 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (40/1 -82%) Platinum Jubilee |
40/1(-82%) | (2) Platinum Jubilee 40/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in March and dispelled couple of lesser efforts upon joining present yard despite only beating one home in 9-runner handicap back at that venue 6 days ago. Needs to build on that now. In rear in all three runs for current yard and is untried at this trip; plenty to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (66/1 -136%) Cracking Filly |
66/1(-136%) | (7) Cracking Filly 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap (66/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 19 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Needs to leave that well behind to figure but worth noting her best effort to date came on AW. Tailed off in both handicaps and needs a transformation back on AW at this new trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MRS TWIG came unstuck in this grade when fourth at Newbury off the same mark, but she won over C&D last month and may get back to winning ways returning to the all-weather. Gold Aura deserves a win after numerous placed efforts and is hard to ignore, though Red Dwarf gets on well with Silvestre De Sousa and could be the bigger danger sitting at the bottom of the handicap.
POLAR PRINCESS wasn't at her best at Chester 3 weeks ago but her consistency was hard to knock on artificial surfaces previously and she shades the vote to quickly bounce back with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching booking. Gold Aura and Red Dwarf are others to consider in an open-looking finale.
An open race in which the vote goes to RED DWARF, who came good when beating a clear second at Southwell last month.

Buzzard Trix |
(4) (25/1 +0%)25/1(+0%) | (4) Buzzard Trix 25/1, Court Cave gelding. Brother to modest hurdler Laughing Trix, stays 25f. Dam unplaced in bumper. Off the mark at the third attempt between the flags but just a modest level of form when fifth on Rules debut in May 2022. Warmed up for this by beating sole finisher in a point recently. Won recent three-runner point but has much more to do here and is very inconsistent. |

1st (1) (Evens +28%) Gaboriot |
Evens(+28%) | (1) Gaboriot Evens, Won a pair of 3m handicaps in the autumn and regained the winning thread when easily landing a hunter at Catterick in March. Unseated in Foxhunters' at Aintree but quickly over that mishap when adding to tally over marathon trip at Cheltenham a month ago. Has to be of interest despite penalty. Four-time winner since finishing second in this race a year ago; ought to be hard to beat. |

2nd (2) (7/2 +0%) Jerrysback |

Confirmed that promise when successful at Hexham since, albeit it was nowhere near his best form. Kept on well to win at Hexham last month and has a significant role to play here. |

5/1(+17%) | (9) Windsor Avenue 5/1, Fairly useful chaser on his day and took a step back in the right direction when runner-up in hunter at Catterick (25tf, soft) in March. Never going in the Aintree Foxhunters' since but back in calmer waters, he finished placed at Kelso 3 weeks ago (in refitted blinkers). Second in two hunter chases in recent months but has become very inconsistent. |

|PU| (5) (18/1 -50%) Canelo |
18/1(-50%) | (5) Canelo 18/1, One-time smart handicapper but has been on the downgrade for some time and there have been no real signs of a revival in 4 starts since returning from a 15-month absence in December. Has left Ben Haslam. Won Hexham point by 9l for new connections this month but today's race is much tougher. |

|PU| (10) (50/1 -127%) You Name Him |
50/1(-127%) | (10) You Name Him 50/1, Four-time hurdles winner at an ordinary level in 2022. Third both starts in points ahead of this hunter debut. Safely held when third in two minor points this month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GABORIOT arrives in better form than when filling the runner-up spot in this race 12 months ago, having won at Cheltenham recently. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero's gelding must hold every chance, although the Hexham winner Jerrysback should give him plenty to think about. Amenon was on target at Huntingdon eight days ago and he is no back number, while Windsor Avenue must also enter calculations.
GABORIOT posted win number 4 since the autumn at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago and this versatile performer is fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Jerrysback probably didn't have much to beat at Hexham but he's still a huge threat, with Windsor Avenue also considered.
This looks another good opportunity for GABORIOT, who has made very good progress since finishing second in this event a year ago.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
