-
David Bass 15%Max Comley 13%3U43P-No signal16/1 16/1 14/1Ran quite well when fourth of seven at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in February, her second start for Max Comley, but looked out of sorts at Hereford last month and is now 0-7 over hurdles.
-
Tom Marquand 16%William Haggas 23%5-2No signalevn FCST 10/11Kingman colt who seemed to need the outing/experience in sole 2yo appearance; went very close at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) on reappearance, despite still looking green, and the winner gave the form a boost by following up in Newbury handicap on Saturday; leading player at the weights.
-
Kieren Fox 10%Craig Benton 11%2543/0No signal33/1Maiden who finished last of 11 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago on his stable debut on return from a lengthy layoff; best watched.
-
David Marnane 10%—No signal25/1 28/1 20/1Starman colt cost 21,000euros as a yearling; half-brother to 5f-7f winner Hurricane Ivor (inc 2yo/Group 3; RPR 113); unraced dam closely related to 5f/6f winner Minley; debutant best watched unless market suggests otherwise.
-
343-No signal1/3 8/13 1/3475,000gns Lope De Vega colt; smart level of form at two in three runs at the Curragh, notably only losing second late on in 5-runner Group 2 Beresford Stakes (1m, yielding-to-soft) won easily by Hawk Mountain; back in maiden company on seasonal debut and looks the one to beat.
-
David Bass 15%Charlie Longsdon 16%21163-No signal12/1Ran respectably when third of five over hurdles at regular haunt Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; better known as a chaser these days but he looks weighted near best off this mark and is untried beyond 2m5f; has some work to do back in this sphere.
-
Kevin Hunter 0%2PP6F-No signal66/1 40/1 66/1Gained two of his five hurdle wins over C&D and was second off mark 7lb higher than today's when making stable debut in this race a year ago (good); lost his way afterwards, though, and absent since heavy fall in November.
-
Luke McAteer 8%David Marnane 10%03-213No signal13/2 10/1 6/1One of three for yard; won 6f Dundalk maiden on penultimate, making all; close third behind Amiata and Bad Boy Rizz in Naas handicap latest (6f, good); mark left alone so should be thereabouts again but sole start on easy ground was poor so probably wouldn't want to see much rain.
-
Gavin Ryan 8%—No signal13/2 13/2 11/2Churchill filly; E27,000 Y; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to Listed winners Spark Plug (1m2f/1m4f), Slight Advantage (1m7f) and Pearl Of Africa (1m), out of smart 7f-1m2f winner in South Africa; yard in form; market can guide on debut.
-
Sandy Forster 10%P5567-No signal80/1 40/1 80/1Not beaten that far when sixth of eight on last month's handicap debut at Kelso (2m5f, good) but raced too freely (not for the first time) and was well beaten when upped to 3m at Perth three weeks later; drops back to 2m here; others look safer.
-
Colin Keane 16%G. M. Lyons 16%64-551No signal6/1 7/2 9/25f Navan maiden winner (yielding) gained first handicap win at Naas on latest (6f, good), beating Bad Boy Rizz by 1.5l; raised 7lb and drops back in trip; handles softer ground and could be more to come; yard amongst the winners; player.
-
Colin Keane 16%-42112No signalSP 9/2 5/2In good form on the AW earlier in the year and continued in the same vein on return to turf with a solid 2.25l second of 16 at Navan last month; ran fourth in this last season off 6lb lower; player.
-
Liam Bailey 9%721848No signal4/1 11/2 4/1Inconsistent but likes it here (C&D winner in March off 4lb lower) and should fare better, the blinkers experiment having been binned following a below-par effort last time.
-
Sam James 14%Phillip Makin 12%1260-4No signal7/1 5/1 7/1Yard among the winners of late and this mare made a pleasing C&D comeback early in the month, especially given she hit traffic; entitled to have come on for that first run in six months and goes on the shortlist.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Iain Jardine 12%76No signal80/1 80/1 50/1Big prices for two runs over 6f to date and will likely find life easier once handicapping after today.
-
Luke Morris 12%Mark Loughnane 10%4-7607No signal14/1 20/1 14/1Sole success came when trained by Ed Walker in May 2024; down to a career-low mark but hasn't threatened on his recent starts on AW.
-
—No signalSP FCST 33/1Cotai Glory filly; E17,000 yearling; dam 6f/7f winner (inc 2yo; RPR 90), out of maiden half-sister to 6f Listed winner Inyordreams and Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner Fire Eyes, is granddaughter of 5f 2yo Group 2 winner Wunders Dream; plenty of appeal on paper.
-
Billy Aprahamian 16%23P31-No signal6/1 7/2 11/22-12 in points but took ten attempts to add to his maiden success, though had earlier shown a fair level of ability over hurdles; returns to this sphere after last month's easy point win, after which he was purchased for £10,000; worth considering off a workable mark back over hurdles on stable debut.
-
Micky Fenton 7%88-604No signal100/1 33/1 66/1Visored for the first time when scoring at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last June for his previous yard, but he was well beaten on his yard debut at Yarmouth three weeks ago; others preferred.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Alan King 16%7-0No signal22/1 12/1 20/1Similar level of form in maidens at Glorious Goodwood and Newbury, gelded prior to keeping-on tenth in big field over 1m latest; still open to improvement, albeit his ideal scene may be handicaps.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Richard Spencer 15%13-322No signalSP 3/1 7/4String of consistent efforts round Kempton since the visor went on but has crept up the weights in defeat and will need to find a bit more on his Tapeta debut; will rightly be popular back from six weeks off though.
-
Shane Gray 15%536No signal18/1 16/1 18/1Thrice-raced filly who was only a modest sixth at Beverley (8.5f) switched to turf most recently; however, one of several runners who may do better now handicapping.
-
—No signal9/2 17/2 9/2Ardad filly; price rose from E17,000 as a foal to 40,000GBP as a 2yo; half-sister to 1m winners Eminent Hipster (RPR 83) and Silk Bird (74); dam 1m winner (77); in good hands and market check advised.
- B
-
Charles Bishop 10%George Baker 10%900-No signal33/1 FCST 25/1Well-bred filly but she beat only one rival home in three maiden events (5f/6f) for William Haggas last year; has since changed stables (same owner) and steps up in trip for her handicap debut; market should be informative.
-
7-2No signal9/1 5/1 13/2Low-grade AW winner; did not achieve huge amount when well-held second of seven behind short-odds favourite at Hereford (2m, good) a fortnight ago, his second hurdle run, but might collect another minor prize here.
-
Shane Foley 11%Ross O'Sullivan 10%4321-2No signal7/2 9/2 10/3Yard in red hot form; excellent effort when 1.5l behind Amiata on seasonal return at Naas (6f, good); maiden win came over 5f on soft so forecast rain a plus and is 6lb better off with Amiata now, who had a fitness edge last time; leading claims.
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Seamus Mullins 11%74331-No signal7/1Made the most of a reduced mark when justifying support and gaining a first win since 2023 when scoring at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; remains well treated on past form back up 6lb and likely to be in the mix again.
-
25322-No signal11/2 9/2 5/1Gained the last three of his seven hurdle wins over C&D (including 2024 edition of this race); absent since two small-field seconds in October (2m5f/2m7f) but there's a good chance he'll be primed for a big run on this return to Huntingdon.
-
1526-0No signalSP FCST 18/1Won off 2lb higher at Tipperary last season (5f, good); failed to beat a rival when last seen at Dundalk in January; record when fresh suggests he might need this run.
-
Richie McLernon 13%Sam England 15%/318-5No signal16/1 9/1 16/1Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip.
-
Jonny Peate 9%878538No signal7/1 5/1 7/1His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does.
-
Edward Greatrex 14%Sheena West 12%1260-8No signalSP FCST 11/1Both of his wins were in classified events when trained by Jack Channon; well beaten in two starts on the flat since joining this stable and he was pulled up over hurdles 30 days ago; others preferred.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%00-046No signal15/2 10/1 7/1All of his 18 runs have been on turf and he won three handicaps (5f/6f) on good ground last spring; his last success was off 6lb higher but he's been out of sorts in his last six runs (can be excused latest) and needs to get back on track.
-
Conor O'Dwyer 10%-00370No signalSP FCST 40/1Four-time AW winner whose sole turf win came in this race in 2024 (off 51); more miss than hit on AW over the winter but down to career-low mark now so don't rule out.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%William Knight 14%078-2No signal11/4 2/1 9/4Down the field in all three starts as a 2yo but shaped well on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; gelded) 22 days ago, coming home nicely for second despite going wide on the turn for home; makes his turf debut and he's on the shortlist.
-
William Cox 5%85933-No signalSP FCST 9/10-18 but has gone close on several occasions; returns from a seven-month break and probably best watched.
-
013-31No signal7/2 6/1 10/32-7 on turf; has returned in fine form this season; close third at Naas (5f, soft); went two places better at Bellewstown (5f, soft) on latest; raised 7lb and this is harder but the forecast rain is a big plus for him; dangerous to dismiss.
-
Harry Eustace 13%4-1No signal5/6 5/4 5/6Cost 220,000gns as a yearling; both starts at Nottingham, latest six weeks ago (1m2f, good) when building on his 2yo effort (1m) and scoring comfortably; this Irish Derby entry looks likely to improve further; respected under 7lb penalty.
-
David Probert 13%Jack Jones 12%77-6No signal28/1 16/1 22/1Down the field in two starts over 7f last year and beaten 8l when sixth of eight in a novice at Southwell (7f, AW) 42 days ago; makes her turf/handicap debut and may yet do better; watch the betting.
-
Kieren Fox 10%57842-No signal14/1 9/1 14/1Six-time winner, with five of those wins coming on turf; ran well when second of 11 here on the AW in December and switches to turf on her first start since; seems unsuited by ground softer than good.
-
8577-6No signal16/1 12/1 16/1All three wins on turf came on soft/heavy; it's been a while since his last success but he may be able to exploit this plummeting mark when he gets his conditions.
-
J A Stack 12%8/050No signalSP FCST 20/1Lightly raced 4yo missed her 3yo season and not too much to take this year from two AW runs and most recently after racing up with pace in Leopardstown handicap (1m); upped markedly in trip now (dam won over 1m4f) and tongue-tie fitted.
-
Shane Foley 11%5No signal13/8 4/1 31/19Mohaather filly showed plenty of early speed before fading into a 2.75l fifth in the closing stages on debut at the Curragh (6f, good); the drop back to 5f looks a plus on that evidence; pedigree suggests easier conditions should be fine; leading claims.
-
Gavin Ryan 8%2No signal6/1 13/2 11/2Half-sister to winners Charlus (Listed-placed 9.5f/1m2f inc 2yo/AW, RPR 96; 2m hurdle), Kosciuszko (1m-1m2f inc 2yo/Spain; 94) and Aquileo (Australian 1m-11.5f); dam French Group-placed 10.5f winner (102); promising Limerick debut last month over this trip in chasing home a ready odds-on winner, well clear of the remainder; could improve enough to feature.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%3216-7No signal20/1 FCST 16/1Showed steadily progressive maiden/novice form that culminated in Redcar success (1m); has failed to transfer it to two handicaps but possibly needed his reappearance run last time.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%Jim Boyle 9%608-59No signal9/2 11/1 7/2Made a winning stable debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) last June but she's now 12lb lower following some lesser efforts; better is needed but any rain will suit.
-
Oisin Orr 14%1No signal4/1 13/2 7/2Out of the yard's Barbanera; picked up for £140,000 at the breeze-up sales recently
-
/73PP-No signal18/1 25/1 16/1Pulled up on consecutive appearances towards end of last season but seemed to run well until tiring on soft ground at Ayr last time; could be better suited by the less-testing conditions here; not ruled out.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%Gavin Cromwell 11%3No signal3/1 3/1 11/4Showcasing colt sent off at 18-1 on debut at the Curragh (5f, good) and ran a decent race to finish a 5.75l third; the fourth from that contest finished a clear second in a Navan maiden on Saturday; likely to improve and he's a player.
-
Bryan Smart 12%5-7269No signalSP 16/1 14/1Three-time course winner who's had his moments at the stalls; some way behind three of these over C&D four weeks ago and only holds each-way claims.
-
Hollie Doyle 14%Archie Watson 15%2241-7No signal14/1 8/1 14/1Reared as the stalls opened on her turf comeback and that can be ignored; easy to back that day but being dropped 2lb won't hurt and it will have blown away the cobwebs.
-
Luke Morris 12%Matt Crawley 9%55-666No signal50/1 25/1 33/10-4 for Rod Milman and beaten 14l when last of six on her handicap debut at Yarmouth (5f, good) three weeks ago; hood, which has been worn on all five starts, is removed and she now steps up in trip.
-
James Bowen 20%Nicky Henderson 25%2-No signal5/4 5/6 5/4Half-brother to winners Kincardine (bumper/2m hurdle) and Steal A March (useful 2m5f-3m hurdler); made a promising debut when runner-up in an Exeter bumper in January, shaping as though this longer trip will suit now switching to hurdles; respected.
-
5640-No signal66/1 FCST 50/1Has hinted at ability but he finished a remote last in December on handicap debut at Catterick (2m4f, good), which leaves him with plenty to prove.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Bryan Smart 12%621-59No signal7/1 13/2 7/1Won a 6f nursery here off 2lb lower late last year; below that level in two runs back and has been gelded since only beating one home down to this trip at Catterick six weeks ago.
-
5P8P-5No signalSP FCST 100/1Made an encouraging start to handicap company last March but has failed to progress since and arrives here after a couple of heavy defeats; lots to prove.
-
Jack Quinlan 15%Neil King 23%2P53-8No signal7/1 10/1 13/2Just 1-8 over hurdles but returned to form with pretty good third at Fakenham (2m7f, good) last month and didn't run badly in competitive 2m4f race there a fortnight ago; can make his presence felt.
-
522309No signal14/1 FCST 12/1All six wins have been gained on AW; in good form at Dundalk last winter, soft ground probably wasn't ideal on turf comeback (slowly away) over C&D early this month and fair bit to find with Gleneagle Bay on that run.
-
Jason Watson 13%43/77/No signal12/1 8/1 12/1Both of his wins have been over hurdles, the most recent when rewarding market support at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) 53 days ago; returns to the Flat for the first time since July 2023 with cheekpieces added.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%Joseph G Murphy 11%0/00-0No signal18/1 12/1 18/1Lightly raced 4yo was never sighted on last month's return from year's absence on handicap debut at Gowran; cheekpieces now tried.
- C
-
William Carson 10%32-362No signal11/1 15/2 11/1Has six wins to his name but the last one came in October 2024; second on his return to turf at Windsor (5f, good) and should run well.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%John Butler 13%—No signal17/2 16/1 17/280,000gns yearling who's only just turned two; brother and half-brother both won in Ireland for Jessica Harrington but his yard wouldn't be noted for 2yo newcomers (4-21 with juveniles here) and the market will be the best guide.
-
David Probert 13%J. S. Moore 7%4635-0No signalSP FCST 12/1SR 60 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
36254-No signal9/2 7/2 9/2Four-time hurdle winner who is usually ridden patiently; didn't really have race run to suit when keeping-on fourth at Stratford (2m, good) last month and is 2lb lower here; no surprise if she poses a threat.
-
Chris Dwyer 13%118-01No signal7/4SR 62 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
W. M. Lordan 16%Aidan O'Brien 22%6-3No signal9/2 3/1 9/2SR 61 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
Kieran Shoemark 14%Ed Walker 16%42-3No signal11/4 2/1 11/4Thrice-raced filly whose form stacks up well; creditable third to useful sort (Listed placed since) in 1m maiden at the Newmarket Craven meeting most recently; open to progress in handicaps and appears to have a workable opening mark; respected.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Michael Dods 12%—No signal11/1 13/2 10/1Already-gelded 72,000gns yearling whose dam went close on her 2yo debut for Godolphin before regressing; trainer had a juvenile newcomer win early in the month but boasts an ordinary record with them on the AW in recent times.
-
Jack Garritty 12%Mark Walford 11%36-No signal250/1 125/1 200/15yo mare who has recorded an RPR of just 53 in both starts, which where last June; best watched.
-
Dylan Hogan 11%Karen Jewell 4%455-0No signal50/1 50/1 40/1Well held in three novice events last year (6f/7f) and he failed to beat a rival on handicap debut at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) 24 days ago; drops back in trip; others preferred.
-
P57P-3No signal17/2 FCST 15/2Won over C&D off a 6lb higher mark in September (good); has not fared quite as well since, although more encouraging run when 13l third of seven over 2m1f here last time (good); step back up in trip will suit.
-
Hector Crouch 18%500728No signal33/1 20/1 33/1Eight-race maiden and his first four runs were for Andrew Balding; perked up with a second in new equipment at Wolverhampton (5f) last month but he failed to back that up when last of eight at Lingfield; hood now returns and others are more convincing.
-
Taryn Langley(5) 10%David Simcock 14%1-7254No signalSP FCST 9/1Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton in December but in and out since; rallied for fourth after losing his position at Southwell (7f, AW) 69 days ago; lightly raced on turf and unproven on softer than good.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%46433-No signal11/1 15/2 11/1Still a maiden after 13 starts but he was generally consistent in sprint handicaps last year; returns after five months off but he's well handicapped on his best form and needs a close look back on turf.
-
David Noonan 8%Tom Gretton 11%3/PP2-No signal13/2 7/2 13/2Low-mileage 7yo; pulled up on consective appearances towards end of 2025 and was only third best on merit when battling on for modest second of six at Market Rasen (2m1f, good; first-time cheekpiecs) last month but at least that recent run gives him something to build on.
-
—No signal33/1SR 46 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
Harry Reed 14%Sandy Forster 10%/443F-No signal33/1 40/1 28/111yo who is lightly raced for his age; never threatened on his completed starts over fences last season (fell early latest); is a dual hurdle winner but suspicion he might prove vulnerable to some of the much younger legs in this line-up.
-
Rob Hornby 11%Pam Sly 12%6No signal150/1 FCST 80/1From a family that has served his yard well but is probably one for the longer term; gelded since 40-1 sixth of eight in 1m race at Wetherby.
-
Philip Kirby 8%7741-3No signal11/2Got off the mark on his second start over fences at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last month and wasn't beaten far when last of three at Kelso (2m7f, good) 13 days ago; this looks easier and he shouldn't be far away.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Saeed bin Suroor 20%—No signal13/2 4/1 5/1Blue Point half-brother to French 6f winner Dream Whisper (RPR 92); dam 5f 2yo scorer (99), closely related to 1m4f Group 1 winner Old Persian (1m4f Group 1); Godolphin runner who is making belated debut aged four; heed the market signals.
-
Danny McMenamin 16%Nicky Richards 17%44-No signalSP FCST 8/1Shaped with promise in both his bumpers, and he's likely to be suited by this step up in trip now switching to hurdles; however, there are a couple who appear to have stronger credentials on this occasion.
-
Aidan O'Brien 22%97-5No signal22/1 16/1 20/1Frankel filly is closely related to Group 1 winners Hydrangea, The United States and Hermosa; superbly-bred but has looked limited in three runs, most recently on seasonal return when beaten 11l in Dundalk AW fillies maiden last month; upped in trip here and cheekpieces replace blinkers.
-
Mark Winn 12%David O'Meara 13%-44458No signal11/1 16/1 11/1Rare run at shy of 1m when not far behind three of these over C&D last month; generally consistent but has only won once and didn't build on that back on turf last time.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%Joseph G Murphy 11%—No signal15/2 8/1 7/1Territories filly; 42,000gns yearling; half-sister to winners Alkaamel (7f-8.6f inc AW/dirt; RPR 106) and Give And Take (7.6f 2yo/1m2f Group 3; 101); dam unraced sister to 1m2f-2m4f Group 1 winner Fame And Glory; nicely bred; check the market.
-
Sean Kirrane 11%9486-0No signal22/1 12/1 22/1Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward.
-
Sean Kirrane 11%Alan Brown 9%99No signal250/1 80/1 150/1Huge prices and well beaten in two starts to date; expect more of the same.
- D
-
Jack Mitchell 16%—No signal4/1By Teofilo; first foal; dam French 1m2f/1m3f winner, sister to winners Ispolini (1m6f Group 3) and Vivionn (useful 7f-1m2f), out of US 1m2f Grade 2 winner from family of King George winner Nathaniel; looks the part on paper and yard is 21% in novice events this year.
-
6/No signal50/1 40/1 33/1Midfield finish on debut in Dundalk maiden in March 2024 and has been absent since.
-
J A Stack 12%6No signal16/1 22/1 16/1SR 47 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
-
Gina Mangan 11%Rod Millman 13%08459-No signal33/1 FCST 25/1Favourite when last of five on handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, soft) in September and was down the field at Southwell (6f, AW) next time; off 238 days since and has blinkers added for her reappearance.
-
Luke Morris 12%221165No signal16/1 14/1 16/1Has won over C&D but has been kept busy on AW of late, winning on the AW track here and at Chelmsford earlier in the year; interesting if she can reproduce her form back on turf.
-
Luke McAteer 8%David Marnane 10%—No signal10/1 16/1 10/1Ghaiyyath colt; 42,000gns yearling; dam twice-raced half-sister to 1m6f Group 2 winner Carmers, out of 1m-1m2f winning half-sister to Group 1 winners Lord Shanakill (1m), Forever Together (1m4f) and Together Forever (1m 2yo); nicely bred but may need further in time.
-
Paul Robson 13%1/13-2No signal4/1 5/2 7/2Won twice over 1m7f at Hexham last year; sound run over same C&D five days ago when clear second to in-form, well-handicapped rival; has a chance but best efforts at shorter.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Adrian Wintle 11%268-77No signal16/1 28/1 14/1SR 46 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
-
Joanne Foster 13%3111-4No signal17/2 8/1 17/2Strong stayer who notched up three wins from February to April, though took a backward step last time over C&D off this mark; however, she's not out of this if repeating previous efforts with Oscar Palmer taking a valuable 3lb off her back.
-
Harry Reed 14%Tristan Davidson 15%2245-3No signal17/2 15/2 17/2C&D winner on stable debut in August and mainly fair form since; closely matched with Wee Alki on their clash over 3m here 17 days ago and the drop back in trip is maybe more in his favour; respected.

Bruce Lynn 3%8P258-No signal33/1 28/1 33/11-20 over fences and although he finished second here (4m) in March, he has run below that since at Carlisle and back over hurdles at Perth; requires an extreme test to be seen at his best.

Kevin Stott 15%Kevin Ryan 12%—No signal9/1 10/1 8/137,000euros yearling who's the first foal of an unraced mare; trainer had a couple of 2yos win first time out this spring (both started favourite under Kevin Stott) and the market will be the best guide with him.

Robbie David 14%Daisy Hitchins 10%/3531-No signal6/1 4/1 11/2Returned from break with wide-margin win in three-runner contest at Wincanton (3m, good) last month; the value of that form is open to question (leader crashed through rail and ran out in home straight) but she remains unexposed over this sort of trip and the handicapper has been pragmatic in raising her 4lb.
