A Piece Of Heaven15:05 Chester race 4 of 8Dylan Browne McMonagleJoseph Patrick O'Brien2/3-22No signal8/1One of three runners for the yard; lightly raced 8yo who was second in the 2m1f Irish Cesarewitch in 2024 and also in non-handicaps over 10.5f and 1m6f on his latest two starts this year; will probably be in good form but needs a career best.
-
A Pretty Penny18:22 Ballinrobe race 4 of 8Julian Pietropaolo(7)Mrs Deborah Cody580-55No signal16/1Best effort yet in third handicap run at Dundalk (1m) on latest in March, beaten 2l when fifth of 8; didn't look like she was crying out for this longer trip, however.
-
A Snow White Park18:35 Downpatrick race 4 of 7Donagh MeylerMs Margaret Mullins85P94-No signal4/1A 66-1 winner at Ballinrobe last May, beating the subsequent Lartigue Hurdle winner Last Kingdom; fourth in a chase at Tramore last time her best effort since then; stayed on well having been set plenty to do; definite chance in ordinary contest.
-
Aajej17:10 Ascot race 7 of 7Owen Lewis(5)Richard Phillips0255-1No signal50/1Unplaced both turf starts and both 2m races; inconsistent on AW but took advantage of career-low mark to score by a neck over 1m6f in January on final start for the Crisfords; sported first-time blinkers that day and sold for 31,000gns the following month; cheekpieces are today's headgear and he has something to prove back on turf at 2m.
-
Aboras Mahler18:05 Downpatrick race 3 of 7J J Slevin 13%800P-2No signal125/1Showed her first worthwhile form when a 20l runner-up in a C&D maiden hurdle last time; will have to build on that now handicapping.
-
Accelereight18:22 Ballinrobe race 4 of 8Ben CoenJ P Murtagh608-6No signal11/4Modest form in maidens; similar story on seasonal return and handicap debut at Navan (1m2f, heavy) in March; cheekpieces worn that day discarded; could improve on this better ground and yard in form.
-
Afton Down16:00 Ascot race 5 of 7Hollie DoyleJack Jones722-1No signal16/1Small step forward when comfortably winning Wolverhampton novice (6f, AW) on his return three weeks ago; will need more again on this handicap debut but that's by no means unlikely and he ran well on quick turf in October; respected.
-
Ahead Of Fashion20:00 Wolverhampton (AW) race 5 of 7Kieran O'NeillDominic Ffrench Davis387-77No signal17/2In the frame a few times, but 0-10 and recent efforts haven't been among his best; others preferred.
-
Aimeric15:05 Chester race 4 of 8Darragh KeenanJennie Candlish2/275-No signal80/1Won sole start here, a 2022 maiden; smart at 1m3f-1m6f for Roger Varian and Karl Burke but reappearance was easily the best of three runs last year and, after a 21,000gns sale in November, well beaten at 11-10 for hurdles/yard debut two weeks ago; that's not the most promising stepping stone to this.
-
Aisling Oscar15:40 Chester race 5 of 8M. P. Sheehy 8%Adrian Keatley 15%274427No signal50/1Has done well on AW for current yard, completing a remarkable eight-timer along the way; failed to transfer the form back to turf last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-10; bit to prove off same mark.
-
Al Amirah19:00 Wolverhampton (AW) race 3 of 7Benoit De La SayetteIsmail Mohammed68-569No signal20/1Beaten 9l or more at big price in novice/maiden events on her first four starts, and she hung badly right before finishing tailed off on her handicap debut here over 9.5f 28 days ago; steps back up in trip but is best watched.
-
Al Mootamarid17:20 Chester race 8 of 8Taylor FisherDominic Elsworth63677/No signal40/1Won a low-grade handicap hurdle last summer but this is his first Flat run since 2024, and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark.
-
Al What18:05 Downpatrick race 3 of 7Donagh Meyler 11%Noel Meade 11%9No signalSPDown the field on hurdles debut at Killarney earlier this month; fair Flat run at a modest level last week; others preferred.
-
Albaydaa13:50 Ascot race 1 of 7Tom MarquandWilliam Haggas321-3No signal10/3Came on plenty for each 2yo run, making all in a 7f maiden on Wolverhampton AW in November; plenty to like about her reappearance in a 6f handicap at Newmarket (good) recently, where she initially failed to pick up but came home nicely to finish a close third of 13; should come on for the run and go well back over 7f; yard has won three of the last seven runnings.
-
Allibaba14:45 Market Rasen race 2 of 6Oakley Brown 15%Adrian Keatley 15%3/07/1No signal10/3Made light of a 538-day absence to win for the first time on his stable debut at Market Rasen (2m, good) 12 days ago; handicapper has reacted by raising him 9lb but that may not be enough to stop him following up.
-
Alphonse Le Grande15:05 Chester race 4 of 8Jamie PowellA J Martin8587-0No signal20/1Held up; an excellent 2024 included wins in the Chester Plate on this card (his only run here) and the Cesarewitch at Newmarket; 2025 campaign was initially promising then frustrating, including with trouble in running, but ended up being disappointing; has a recent 1m2f run under his belt and would be competitive off this slightly reduced mark if back on song.
-
Alvin16:45 Chester race 7 of 8Darragh Keenan 10%George Scott 19%418314No signal15/23yo who arrives on the up; easy winner at Bath (5f, firm) last month and ran well considering he was drawn wide and slowly away when fourth at Chester next time; still unexposed and commands major respect.
-
Ambishio16:45 Chester race 7 of 8Harry DaviesMichael Appleby60-124No signal4/1Improved for a gelding operation, winning a Southwell handicap in January and running well in defeat twice last month (closely matched with Proof on Southwell form); has the inside stall and should make a bold bid.
-
Amplitude20:22 Ballinrobe race 8 of 8G. F. Carroll 10%Joseph G Murphy 11%1-0493No signal12/1Was hit hard by the handicapper for easily winning a restricted 9.5f maiden at Gowran on heavy in September; good run when fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown last month and seemed to stay well enough when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, getting going a bit late; longer straight here will suit and any rain a plus.
-
Angel Of Anfield13:50 Ascot race 1 of 7Rossa RyanTom Clover52212-No signal14/1All turf races at sprint trips on good to firm and good, vigorously ridden when making all at Windsor last August from one who went on to better things; a similarly useful effort when runner-up on Kempton AW in October but he lacks a recent run and has a new trip to contend with.
-
Annarubyrose17:35 Downpatrick race 2 of 7James Smith 9%6389-2No signal16/1Placed in a Sligo maiden for Gavin Cromwell; highly promising stable debut when runner-up to Gangster Granny over C&D on latest, headed close home; effectively 7lb better off with the winner factoring in the rider's claim so should go well.
-
Annie's Angel18:52 Ballinrobe race 5 of 8Ronan WhelanAdrian McGuinness4276-0No signal18/1Won a Galway maiden on second start for Joseph O'Brien in October 2024 but no joy since, although second to Flying Fortress in Listowel handicap; three runs over hurdles since joining Ado McGuinness before tame Curragh effort last time; new headgear combination tried and handicapper giving her a chance.
-
Annsam15:50 Market Rasen race 4 of 6Ben JonesMrs C Williams51FUP-No signal28/1Returned to form with clear win off much-reduced mark at Ludlow (3m1f, good to soft) in December but three non-completions have followed, most recently when he was pulled up back at Ludlow last month; others look safer.
-
Antiquarian14:55 Ascot race 3 of 7Rhys ClutterbuckGary & Josh Moore5-No signal125/1Finished a remote last of five runners at Newmarket (6f; 66-1) on sole 2yo run; not sure to stay this far on pedigree and ordinary handicaps are likely to be the aim; has lots to prove.
-
Apache Eagle18:00 Wolverhampton (AW) race 1 of 7763273No signal9/10-17 and he blows hot and cold but there have been some good runs in defeat on AW this year; finished behind Havachoc at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and may do so again.
-
Aqua Bear13:50 Ascot race 1 of 7Dylan Hogan 11%Ian Williams 11%2921-4No signal28/1Ex-Irish runner whose form for new yard comprises a success in AW maiden (subsequently gelded) and creditable fourth in Ascot handicap, both over 7f; needs to do better still in this field, however.
-
Arbaawy16:35 Ascot race 6 of 7Ray Dawson 14%John Butler 13%533-43No signal13/2Maiden who is proving consistent and ran creditably at Ascot (1m, good) most recently; should give his running but chance of winning largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear.
-
Arctic Wind20:00 Wolverhampton (AW) race 5 of 7Edward GreatrexDavid Evans4263-No signal7/2Made the frame in three of his four starts on turf (5f/6f) for David Menuisier as a 2yo; changed hands for 9,000gns in October and makes his stable/handicap debut after seven months off having been gelded in the meantime; half-brother to a couple of AW winners and the market should be informative.
-
Arlo's Girl16:45 Chester race 7 of 8Dylan Hogan 11%Joseph Parr 12%1-47No signal50/1Thrice-raced filly who has failed to back up the form of her debut success (AW); never landed a blow at Chester switched to turf most recently; something to prove.
-
Arry Up16:00 Ascot race 5 of 7Lewis EdmundsRod Millman931-11No signal15/2Fine stamp who is unbeaten since contesting handicaps; made all to land his third such race when defying penalty to score at Kempton (6f, AW; Hallo Spaceboy second, Night Mission fifth) one month ago; also won on turf (good to soft, acts on good) and doesn't have to lead; impossible to ignore in current mood.
-
Artic Chief17:35 Downpatrick race 2 of 7Carl Millar 11%Liam Lennon 3%P8P0-3No signal40/1Had shown nothing prior to excellent third behind Gangster Granny over C&D on latest, and possibly might have won but hung badly left entering the straight (beaten 1.25l); front-runner has a place chance again from 2lb higher.
-
Assorda16:52 Market Rasen race 6 of 6Alan DoyleJohn WainwrightP/P66-No signal40/1Ex-French mare; fortunate to win small-field Catterick novice (1m7f, good) for Paula Smith on British debut in March 2025 and soundly beaten in all four subsequent handicaps, the last three times for new stable this year.
-
Auld Toon Loon13:30 Chester race 1 of 8Tom Dascombe 12%2001-8No signal10/1Ended his 2025 campaign with a half-length success in Class 2 event over C&D (good to firm) and is only 2lb higher back here; possibilities with Chester reappearance under his belt.
-
Auntie Ida18:35 Downpatrick race 4 of 7Anna McGuinness(7)Patrick Eugene Turley4090-No signal16/1Debut fourth in a bumper at Punchestown seemed promising; has shown little in maiden hurdles; trained by a top point-to-point producer; may improve.
-
Aurevoir Tristesse16:40 Ballinrobe race 1 of 8Chris HayesD K Weld69No signal18/1From a fine family but didn't show a whole lot in two Dundalk maidens earlier this year; now drops to claiming company in first-time cheekpieces; more needed.
-
Autumn Affair20:00 Wolverhampton (AW) race 5 of 7Paddy BradleyHarry Eustace2-241No signal10/11Confirmed earlier promise when making a successful handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) in March; 3lb rise not excessive and the extra furlong should suit on pedigree; leading player.
-
Avec Grand Plaisir17:15 Ballinrobe race 2 of 80-7No signalSPSoundly beaten in maidens at the Curragh and Leopardstown five months apart; will qualify for handicaps after this.
-
Avondale20:22 Ballinrobe race 8 of 8Daniel KingBarry Connell/2811/No signal11/2Won consecutive 1m4f handicaps in 2024 at Roscommon and Galway (off 70); came back from an absence when winning over hurdles at Bellewstown last summer and ran well in novice events both starts afterwards; returns from a further 9 months' absence but goes well fresh.
-
Ay Up Duck13:50 Ascot race 1 of 7Robert Havlin 15%Michael Appleby 13%2218No signal18/1Made debut in March; improved to win 7f novice on Southwell AW in April but he flagged when attempting that trip on turf debut at Ascot 17 days ago; of some interest in first 6f run, though.
- B
-
Baby Fish18:35 Downpatrick race 4 of 7Conor Stone-WalshGavin Cromwell6006-No signal9/1Not beaten far in sixth in a weak Tramore maiden; may slot into handicaps effectively; trainer also runs Doing It In Style.
-
Bad Habits20:30 Wolverhampton (AW) race 6 of 7Jonny PeateRuth Carr472291No signal14/1Both wins over C&D, the latest 17 days ago with Faster Bee winning the other division in a faster time; he is only 3lb higher, but like that gelding is drawn higher this time; will need a bit more.
-
Balance Of Trade18:22 Ballinrobe race 4 of 8Wesley Joyce(3)Michael Mulvany47-043No signal9/2Good fourth on handicap debut at Gowran last October (7f, heavy); kept on from the back for a 5.75l third of 13 at Bellewstown (1m, soft) latest; previously ran well in 1m Gowran claimer; worth another go at this sort of trip on the evidence of that effort; rain a plus.
-
Ballyadam19:52 Ballinrobe race 7 of 8Ronan WhelanHenry De Bromhead3-3No signal3/1High-class NH performer, most recently good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; two previous Flat runs were on the Dundalk AW, notably previous month when 2l third of 10 over 1m4f; ground no problem, not sure the tight track will suit.
-
Ballybunion16:00 Ascot race 5 of 7Saffie OsborneMichael Bell722-No signal14/1Good step forward from debut when runner-up at Ripon, albeit beaten 5l in four-runner event, in September and backed that up when second again at Yarmouth (also 6f, good) the following month; has been gelded and interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this reappearance/handicap debut.
-
TBAD J Jeffreys57890-No signalSPShowed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three 2m maiden/novice hurdles last season; upped in trip for handicap debut; considered only if much stronger in the betting this time.
-
Bass Player19:45 Ripon race 5 of 6William PyleKevin Frost5834-9No signal28/1First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off.
-
Battling Siki19:52 Ballinrobe race 7 of 8Reese Holohan(7)Mark Fahey745No signal12/1Lightly raced 4yo ran twice on the AW before improvement in Bellewstown maiden last month over just shy of this trip, not quite getting home on soft ground under a positive ride; considered but stamina doubts.
-
Bay City Roller14:35 Chester race 3 of 8Oisin Murphy 22%George Scott 19%2241-2No signal11/2Showed some high-class form last year, including when beaten less than a length by Daryz in the Prix Egene Adam; hit the big time when making all to win the Group 1 Grosser Allianz Preis von Bayern by 7l at Munich (1m4f, soft) in November; huge run at Chester when conceding weight all around, just going down by a neck to last year's dual Derby winner Lambourn; ideally suited by softer ground and a bit to find on ratings but he's clearly in top form.
-
Bearami Creek17:35 Downpatrick race 2 of 7Sam EwingPeter Fahey1450P-No signalSPGood form last autumn, highlighted by Navan win over 2m3f (yielding) off 90; totally out of sorts in two races last month; second reserve for 5.35 at Downpatrick on Friday
-
Beautiful Rainbow14:20 Ascot race 2 of 7Rossa RyanJames Tate5No signal10/1Early April foal who was 11-2 for her first go when fifth of nine at Beverley (5f, good) a fortnight ago; displayed inexperience that day before looking to get the message late; should do better.
-
Believitanducan17:10 Ascot race 7 of 7TBAAlan King 16%21/2-1No signal13/8Sole Flat start for yard when second (2m, AW) in April 2025; has won over hurdles since
-
Bellini Spirit16:00 Ascot race 5 of 7Nicola CurrieJohn & Rhys Flint72-78No signal125/1Four starts, one each at 5f, 6f, 7f and 1m; best form by some way when second over this trip at Chelmsford (AW; 40-1) on second go for Anthony Carson, which could be a straw to clutch at, but form in a maiden and handicap for this yard leaves her with work to do.
-
Below The Belt16:52 Market Rasen race 6 of 6David Bass 15%Max Comley 13%3805-2No signal11/1Much improved effort on handicap debut when a close second at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) and has clearly found his level; cheekpieces added.
-
Beorma14:45 Market Rasen race 2 of 6TBADan Skelton 22%89/P8-No signal11/4
-
Berks And Bucks14:10 Market Rasen race 1 of 6Tom CannonLucy Wadham57PP-No signal125/1Not disgraced when midfield in Warwick bumper in December but was pulled up on first two hurdling starts (2m3f/2m4f); drops back in trip with tongue-tie added here.
-
Berkshire Sundance15:05 Chester race 4 of 8Oisin MurphyAndrew Balding81-011No signal18/1Missed most of last season but won on good/AW in four of his six starts since, the latest in clearcut fashion with first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle on AW Championships day; raised another 7lb, drawn wide and lacks any race experience at this track, but he's going from strength to strength.
-
Betsen15:25 Ascot race 4 of 7Clifford Lee 17%Tony Carroll 13%434709No signal9/1Turf winner (5f, good) in Ireland who scored at Southwell (6f, AW) on his stable debut in November; that 40-1 success hasn't been built on but this represents a drop back in grade; not confidently ruled out.
-
Betty's Glen18:05 Downpatrick race 3 of 7Paddy Hanlon(5)John Joseph Hanlon5-No signal66/1Beaten a long way in a six-runner Punchestown bumper on debut and can only be watched for now.
-
Betweenthesticks18:45 Ripon race 3 of 6Ruth Carr 12%37-112No signal3/1He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit.
-
Beyond Borders19:15 Ripon race 4 of 6Sam James 14%Kevin Frost 10%8006-7No signal33/15-24; hit by the handicapper after making all at Yarmouth (6f, good) last June, and has taken a while to come back down the weights (now 3lb below that winning mark); posted low-key seasonal reappearance at Leicester; cheekpieces introduced seeking more.
-
Big Hitter14:20 Ascot race 2 of 7TBAJamie Osborne 12%—No signalSPFebruary foal by Starspangledbanner; 65,000euros yearling; paper appeal so watch betting
-
Bint Archange14:20 Ascot race 2 of 7William BuickRichard Hughes3No signal15/8Early March sixth foal who is a half-sister to four winners; 45,000euros yearling; 4-1 for her debut when third of eight in a traditionally warm event at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; sets a clear standard on that form.
-
Bintknight14:55 Ascot race 3 of 7Daniel Muscutt 14%Harry Charlton 16%5No signal9/1200,000gns foal; 12-1 when fifth of seven on this month's Ascot debut (1m2f, good); open to improvement, but it will be needed and she may appreciate a bit further.
-
Bintwafaa19:30 Wolverhampton (AW) race 4 of 7Robbie DowneyRoger Varian—No signal14/1460,000euros yearling; half-sister to eight winners including Jan Brueghel (1m2f-14.5f including St Leger; RPR 126), Sovereign (8.5f 2yo/1m4f Irish Derby; 118) and Dawn Rising (1m4f-2m5f Flat including Group 3, 108; 2m4f hurdle); dam 7f 2yo winner (104); beautifully bred, but a hood enlisted for her debut does pose a question; market should reveal plenty.
-
Blindedbythelights15:05 Chester race 4 of 8Luke MorrisSir Mark Prescott Bt/222-2No signal11/2Versatile tactically; his only two wins were in 2023 but this highly reliable handicapper has been runner-up in six of his seven races since, including in useful company and also over 2m when he wore cheekpieces on last three occasions (hung right and lost out to a rallying rival last time); now tries blinkers and has each-way claims from low draw.
-
Blue Bear16:52 Market Rasen race 6 of 65744-7No signal9/4Ran well for a long way and seemed to have arrested his decline when fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last month but was soundly beaten over that C&D 11 days ago and now has questions to answer again; drops back in trip with hood removed after one use.
-
Blue Courvoisier16:35 Ascot race 6 of 7Lauren Young(3) 11%Clive Cox 17%12-24No signal9/4Reappeared with close second on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) last month and 3l fourth of 11 at Ascot (1m, good) since; remains lightly raced but he needs to take a step forward if he's to win today.
-
Blue Orbit16:00 Ascot race 5 of 7Jack DoughtyDr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole660-24No signal12/1Off the mark on second start (5f, good to firm) and ran respectably on handicap debut when beaten 3l at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to soft; not clear run) in August; gelded before sharing second (5f, AW) on reappearance in March and again didn't have the cleanest shot when fourth at Bath one month later; not ruled out.
-
Bobbys Pride18:15 Ripon race 2 of 6Jamie GormleyNoel Wilson0978-No signal200/1Struggled at big prices in all four 2yo runs, including a nursery at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) in September; still unexposed but she's on the same mark as last time and has lots to prove on her return.
-
Bocelli's Voice19:05 Downpatrick race 5 of 7P J O'HanlonDermot A McLoughlinU70P8-No signal28/1Second runner for yard; hurdle and chase winner has been regressive in both those spheres since last autumn; blinkers replace the visor worn last time; needs to turn a corner.
-

-
Bootscootinboogie18:05 Downpatrick race 3 of 7Liam McKenna(5)M G Quinn—No signal80/1Famous Name gelding; second foal out of a dual points winner; likely to need experience.
-
Borora Aura16:40 Ballinrobe race 1 of 8Wesley Joyce(3)Michael Mulvany79No signal15/2Improved effort on second start at Gowran (1m, soft) last month but was still beaten 11.5l; not bred for this longer trip and others make more appeal.
-
Bouquet De Paris14:45 Market Rasen race 2 of 6Sean BowenRebecca Curtis65546-No signal13/2Came off worst in a pace battle with Granny B and ultimately 6l behind her at Hereford latest (2m, good); could still race more sparingly, but 3lb lower today and fared okay in a C&D juvenile last winter.
-
Boxing Great16:10 Chester race 6 of 8Robbie ColganKarl Thornton83551-No signal12/1Runner-up twice on good ground; ninth start when off the mark in 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (2m, AW; favourite) in December when last seen; needs to improve on that form but he's relatively lightly raced.
-
Bradbury20:15 Ripon race 6 of 6Ryan Sexton 12%Edward Bethell 17%87-542No signal9/4Unexposed gelding who was an eye-catching fourth at Wolverhampton; respected back in trip
-
Bragbor13:30 Chester race 1 of 8Warren Fentiman(3)Richard & Peter Fahey3224-7No signal18/1Both wins have come on the AW at Newcastle (1m/1m2f) and was far from disgraced on his return in the Easter Classic there (1m2f) five weeks ago; makes his turf debut in a competitive race, albeit stall 1 has taken three of the last eight runnings.
-
Bravais13:30 Chester race 1 of 8David ProbertIan Williams27-500No signal40/1Winner in France and Ireland, but has beaten a total of one rival in four starts on the AW since joining this yard; down another 3lb, but hard to warm to unless the market suggests otherwise; stable also runs Echalar; non-runner 4.10 Chester Thursday.
-
Bright15:40 Chester race 5 of 8Billy LoughnaneMark Loughnane0661-0No signal28/1His last three wins have come on the AW at Newcastle but he is effective on turf and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; stall 15 is a severe hindrance though.
-
Brohatna17:00 Downpatrick race 1 of 7J J Slevin 13%M M Rice 4%0/5No signal80/1Tailed off in Down Royal maiden hurdle on debut early last year; fair fifth of seven when set a stiff task behind Roc Dino here (2m6f) on return from an absence two weeks ago; could improve.
-
Brosay15:25 Ascot race 4 of 7Sean Levey 13%Charlie Pike 7%40-005No signal18/1Proved somewhat resurgent at Ascot last week in third start for Charlie Pike and may build on that effort; only 1lb above last winning mark and can't be ruled out.
-
Bumpy Evans15:50 Market Rasen race 4 of 6Conor O'Farrell 12%Kerry Lee 11%F123-RNo signal9/4Front-runner who is 5-10 over fences but the handicapper is beginning to look in charge and he worryingly refused to race last week at Market Rasen; cheekpieces are soon turned to.
-
Bunker Bay14:45 Market Rasen race 2 of 6Joshua Thompson(5)Micky Hammond/3328-No signalSPMade a noise after an anonymous run at Perth last time; placed in two C&D class 5s before that, albeit never looking that potent a late threat when second in the most recent of those (good); bit more required.

Calamint19:22 Ballinrobe race 6 of 8Yudish Geerdharry(7)Adrian Murray476-28No signal10/1No win since scoring off 2lb higher at Naas (1m, yielding) over two years ago; promising seasonal comeback second at Navan in March (1m2f) but 1m4f looked beyond her at Limerick last month; back to probably her optimum trip.

Call My Bluff16:10 Chester race 6 of 8J F EganDominic Ffrench Davis/94-91No signal14/1Bang there every time in his four races at Chester, including the Cup in 2023 but absent 758 days afterwards; back to life at Newbury (2m, good) three weeks ago, making all in a six-runner race; has a 3lb penalty and drawn higher than ideal but he was another 6lb higher at his peak and has returned to serious calculations.
-
Callianassa13:30 Chester race 1 of 8Sean D BowenBrian Ellison3-1557No signal80/1All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; back off the same mark as for that success, but she is 0-10 on turf and has never attempted this far before.
-
Calvert17:10 Ascot race 7 of 7Taryn Langley(3)Roger Teal4444-2No signal4/1Sole success came when evens for a Bath novice (1m2f, good to soft) as 2yo; respectable efforts across five starts at 1m6f and 2m in 2025 and he went mighty close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in March after which he had a run over hurdles; strike-rate isn't a positive but he has the ability to figure.
-

Zanndabad15:05 Chester race 4 of 8Clifford LeeA J Martin/7049-No signal15/2An unlucky, strong-finishing third in this race in 2024 (good to firm; his only run here) and has a 1lb lower mark today; flickers of that ability on occasions since, though had to have his sights lowered for two hurdle wins last autumn; tailed off at 40-1 in a Grade 1 novice hurdle four weeks ago, after a winter break, and could be more interesting this time.
No horse matches that.
