4-5758No signal18/1 22/1 16/1With Roger Fell when winning a weak 0-50 classified at Newcastle (6f; 20-1) in February 2025; no joy since for Kieran Burke (0-3) or Gary Harrison (0-11); weakened from the two-furlong pole at Redcar (6f; eighth of 11) latest; new blinkers today; look elsewhere.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Tom Clover 17%24/36-No signal11/1 17/2 10/1Won on Windsor debut in June 2022 and was runner-up in the Group 2 Richmond (6f, good to firm) next time; looks interesting on that form but he's had only three runs since and was well held in two handicaps last year; has bit to prove after another absence and this is a new trip.
-
David Nolan 12%David O'Meara 13%673606No signal5/1 7/2 5/1His form has been patchy since an easy win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November but he's 2lb below that last winning mark and his form figures at Ayr read 3112, so it will be no surprise if he's in the mix.
-
James Best 9%Polly Gundry 7%PFPP0-No signal28/1 50/1 25/1Form figures of PFPP over fences and, with a tongue-tie added, he never counted on his return to hurdles at Exeter; opposable.
-
Lee Edwards 9%Tony Carroll 13%9-4No signal150/1 40/1 100/1Three-time AW winner at a modest level on Flat; beaten long way in two similar events over 2m at Hereford recently; steps up in trip but easy to dismiss.
-
Almenfee20:20 Gowran Park race 7 of 7000-89No signal14/1 20/1 14/1German winner (1m4f, good) has failed to fire in five runs for this yard on softer ground, most recently over 1m4f at Limerick last month; up in trip now but forcecast rain a negative. -
Peter Fahey 11%7-0015No signal3/1 4/1 5/2Two wins in claimers on turf in May 2024; out of form at Dundalk until winning an apprentice handicap there at the beginning of last month; broke slowly at Leopardstown but finished to good effect, beaten under 3l in a 23-runner field; definite chance.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Rod Millman 13%-83203No signal9/1 15/2 9/1Hasn't won for a while but was an encouraging third on his return at action at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago; sports a first-time visor and is well-handicapped on his old form.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%Ivan Furtado 10%7-1610No signal5/1 8/1 5/1Inconsistent gelding who finished out the back at Wetherby last time, but he's won twice on AW this year including at Southwell (1m) on his penultimate run; hit a personal best with that comfortable success and has claims if he can recapture that form.
-
Among The Pines20:20 Gowran Park race 7 of 7J M Sheridan 11%8800-No signal50/1 22/1 40/1Lightly raced maiden wasn't been sighted in three maidens ad again on handicap debut (upset in stalls) last October for Michael Grassick; bought for 1,000euros in November and debuts for new yard over a much longer trip. -
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%212354No signal13/2 12/1 13/2Consistent after being switched to AW handicaps in January, including wins at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton; not at his best at Southwell last time and needs to bounce back; new headgear combination.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%—No signal11/1 12/1 11/132,000gns yearling; first foal of a once-raced half-sister to winners Hadaatha (1m2f Listed) and Itlaaq (prolific 1m2f-2m), out of 1m Listed winner/1,000 Guineas third; stable have had a winning 2yo newcomer this year; betting to guide.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Matt Crawley 9%3-3045No signal17/2 7/1 8/1Creditable third over C&D in January but she's struggled since, including over hurdles in March; record is now 0-12 and others are more convincing.
-
Mickey Bowen 16%1P476-No signal11/1 FCST 10/1Good bumper form (three wins, including Listed) and a novice hurdle winner (all on good); nowhere near that level in two handicaps for current yard and cheekpieces are now turned to; the prospect of softening ground is a further concern.
-
Robert Havlin 15%David Menuisier 13%9-0No signal80/1 40/1 80/1Well held in a pair of novices, hood left off when beating one home at Southwell (1m) last month; lots more is required.
-
James Bowen 20%Mickey Bowen 16%122P9-No signal11/4 11/2 11/4Point and dual bumper winner in 2025; runner-up in two 2m7f novice hurdles in October but pulled up on handicap debut the next month and again ran moderately on his return, albeit back in a novice.
-
Jim Goldie 14%1491-0No signal50/1 33/1 40/1Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared.

-
P773-PNo signal40/1 28/1 33/1Has shown modest form (best penultimate start) and needs improvement.
-
Luke McAteer 8%David Marnane 10%33-760No signal5/1 10/1 9/2Best form on AW at Dundalk, a winner and twice placed over this trip; appears well held by Staywitherjohnny on recent C&D running
-
David Noonan 8%44-No signal14/1 4/1 12/1Low-grade Flat winner in 2024; beaten 22l and 39l in her two runs over hurdles and makes stable/handicap debut after a lengthy break; may need the ground good or quicker.
-
Charlie Fellowes 11%6No signal13/8 3/1 31/19Sent off the 9-2 third favourite for her debut at Nottingham last month (6f, good) but she ran green and never featured; should do better in time but there are some interesting newcomers for her to deal with today.
-
Richie McLernon 13%/12P4-No signal8/1 8/1 7/1Landed bumper around here last October but has cut little ice in his two starts over hurdles; this looks easier but he needs to start producing.
-
Mark Usher 10%-96034No signalSPAll seven wins have been on AW and he's reached the frame at Wolverhampton (1m4f) and Southwell (1m3f) in his last two runs; has claims if he can something extra and he's in the mix with cheekpieces reapplied. -
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%—No signal5/190,000gns foal; Kodi Bear filly; dam, 5f AW winner (RPR 66), is a half-sister to winners Kind Of Blue (6f Group 1) and Blue Anthem (5f/7f), out of unraced sister to 6f Group 2 winner Deacon Blues and half-sister to 6f Group 1 winner The Tin Man; interesting newcomer for yard which has taken past two runnings of this.
-
Kevin Stott 15%Michael Appleby 13%-17963No signal22/1 20/1 22/1On last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark on this drop back in grade
-
R. P. Whelan 9%P J F Murphy 5%0-No signal150/1 FCST 125/1Due Diligence filly cost 5,000euros as a foal; first foal; dam maiden sister to winners Clouds Rest (5f 2yo) and Murqaab (6f), half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner Streamline; always behind on Navan debut in October; tongue-tied on seasonal return.
-
Jamie Gormley 11%Linda Perratt 10%348069No signal125/1 40/1 80/1Yet to win on turf (0-17) and his 'most recent' AW win was at Wolverhampton (6f) in December 2023; nothing positive to take from his last four starts, including when weakening quickly at Musselburgh (7f; 40-1) three weeks ago.
-
Hector Crouch 18%S. P. C. Woods 12%615-22No signal3/1 7/2 3/1Ran away with a Class 6 handicap at Southwell last October (1m6f) off a 10lb lower mark; two runner-up finishes at Southwell last month (after a 166-day absence) and he seemed fully effective on turf last year; one to take seriously.
-
7-4No signal4/1 11/4 7/2Dubawi half-brother to winners Yosemite Valley (6f/7f inc Listed; RPR 117) and Piz Badile (1m-10.6f inc Listed; 116); dam 1m1f-10.5f winner (inc Listed; 105); nicely improved on seasonal return when staying on from some way back into fourth (hung right) in 7f Limerick maiden last month; sure to appreciate this longer trip and could well have more to offer (McDonogh retains ride).
-
Robert Havlin 15%Thomas Faulkner 12%674-No signal25/1 9/1 22/1Didn't show much in three AW runs at up to 1m4f for Hugo Palmer early last year; now goes handicapping after a gelding operation but he changed hands for just 1,000gns and needs improvement after a long absence.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Rod Millman 13%886632No signal6/1 9/1 6/1Eight-time AW winner who has finished placed over C&D in his last two starts; drawn out wide this time but he's tactically versatile and remains feasibly treated off his last winning mark; in the mix.
-
5442F-No signal14/1 6/1 12/1In a new visor he won two 3m2f handicap chases at Newton Abbot last August; has looked too high in the weights since then and he's 0-11 as a hurdler; others preferred.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%James Tate 19%-33473No signal16/1In the frame in four of her six starts including finishing third in both outings here (7f); probably stays this far and each-way claims again.
-
7909-3No signalSPNon-runner. -
Jonathan Burke 15%James Owen 18%43-7No signal40/1 40/1 28/1Showed ability when in the frame in a couple of bumpers but finished last of seven on hurdles debut at Fakenham (2m4f, good) 16 days ago; may not come into her own until she is qualified for handicaps.
-
Charlie Hammond 17%Stuart Edmunds 17%3448-7No signalSP 16/1 12/1Has five wins over hurdles but below form over further on his last two starts; looks to be in the handicapper's grip at present.
-
Shane Foley 11%40-No signal10/3 4/1 3/1Kameko filly cost 25,000gns as a foal and 80,000euros as a yearling; half-sister to 4 winners including Le Tabou (French 6f-7f inc 2yo/AW; RPR 109) & Shockwaves (1m AW; 92); dam 1m winner (100); plenty of debut promise when fourth in good-class Curragh maiden last summer (good) but three months later never sighted in Goffs Million over same C&D on softer ground; has undoubted ability, major player on that debut run.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%—No signal4/1 3/1 7/285,000gns foal, £95,000 yearling; fifth foal; brother to Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Pearl Glory (RPR 98), closely related to 6f/7f winner Guiteau (78); dam once-raced half-sister to Group-placed 6f/7f winner Louis The Pious; looks the part on paper and the betting should be revealing.
-
Harry Reed 14%David Rees 9%—No signal66/1 50/1 40/1Eleventh foal; sister to bumper/2m5f hurdle winner Far Sight, half-sister to five winners including Dare To Endeavour (useful 2m4f-3m chase), Holly James (bumper/2m hurdle) and Grand Enterprise (2m2f/3m hurdle); dam 2m-2m5f hurdle winner; appealing pedigree but this is a belated racecourse debut.
-
501/3-No signal9/2 9/2 4/1Both wins have came at Ludlow when claimer ridden; ran respectably following 12 months off when third of seven at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month; all of her best form previously had been over right-handed tracks, so a question remains over her suitability for this course.
-
Rian Corcoran 15%Rebecca Curtis 16%23P21-No signal4/5 8/11 4/5Went very close at Chepstow (2m7f) before gifted the race over C&D last month when left clear late on; she did hold every chance at the time anyway and has gone up only 2lb.
-
R. P. Cleary 6%C P Donoghue 0%904/5/No signal33/1 40/1 28/1Produced effort at the Curragh on the first day of the 2024 season; absent since then, best watched in the circumstances.
-
Daniel King 10%A. J. Martin 7%8/1P0-No signal8/1 9/1 7/1Got off the mark over hurdles when winning a C&D novice hurdle last June; well below that level in two hurdle starts after; not a bad Navan Flat run recently; due to run in the 7.50 at Gowran Wednesday.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%0-2577No signalSP 22/1 28/1Went close behind Tiger Crusade at Lingfield (7f) in January but he's been a long way below that form in three runs since; has plenty to prove again and he needs another bolt from the blue.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%9-7943No signal18/1 11/1 18/12-17 on turf for Tim Easterby; well held switched to AW on first three runs for current yard but he raised his game with a solid third over C&D two weeks ago; ties in with Influential on that form and has claims if he can build on that.
-
Stan Sheppard 16%Tom Lacey 19%/3436-No signal13/2 5/1 6/1All three wins under rules on AW Flat; returns from a break and best watched unless the market speaks favourably.

-
Cala Gracioneta20:20 Gowran Park race 7 of 7Ben Coen 11%5900-0No signal18/1 FCST 14/1Poor form form in AW handicaps over the winter; hooded now for turf return and remains opposable off this mark. -
Tim Easterby 11%530-43No signal16/1 11/1 14/1Still seeking his first win (0-9); one of two to race on the far side when third at Redcar (6f, good; 5-1) a fortnight ago; should find a winning opportunity eventually but there are at least a couple of others who make more appeal here.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Jennie Candlish 17%752213No signal5/1 7/2 5/1Justified favouritism at Bath (1m, firm) final start for S. Williams; sold for 35,000gns.
-
T G McCourt 7%57-114No signal11/2 FCST 5/1Progressive in winning back-to-back 1m4f handicaps at Dundalk in March/April; had to wait for a gap to open at Navan last time and ran on well to take fourth, 1 3/4l in front of Earthsong; very capable 7lb claimer is starting to establish herself; strong contender.
-
Joey Haynes 10%Chelsea Banham 15%0-6908No signal50/1 33/1 40/111-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival.
-
Ross Burdon 11%-82446No signal16/1 12/1 16/112-race maiden but running well since joining current yard; each-way shout back on turf
-
Rob Hornby 11%Zoe Hawkins 7%77471-No signal9/1 13/2 9/1Six AW wins for Stuart Kittow including over C&D in his final run last season; returns for Zoe Hawkins after 238 days off but he's only 3lb higher than last time and has claims if he can pick up where he left off; market should be useful.
-
Dylan Hogan 11%Joe Ponting 4%26-996No signal50/1 40/1 50/1Won a Pontefract nursery for Peter Chapple-Hyam in October 2024 (1m, soft); in good form last autumn too but he has been sent off at big prices and finished down the field in three runs for his new stable this year; could prove a different proposition back on turf, especially if the going remains on the slow side, and cheekpieces return today; check betting.
-
Hollie Doyle 14%Archie Watson 15%—No signal33/1 12/1 28/110,000gns yearling; Kodi Bear filly; half-sister to 6f winner Bonus Time (RPR 93); dam, 6f AW winner (RPR 94), is a half-sister to 2m hurdle winner Kristjano; in good hands so this newcomer needs considering.
-
756P9-No signal12/1 25/1 12/1Dual winner in this sphere but has been operating below his best for a while and is best left alone at present.
-
Ryan Kavanagh 11%Ian Williams 11%1/968-No signal66/1 33/1 66/1Early-season 5f win as a 2yo when trained by David Evans; unplaced in two handicap runs last summer; still has low mileage and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market prior to this stable debut (same owners).
-
Clifford Lee 17%R. Mike Smith 10%15111-No signal22/1 8/1 18/1Hit form with vengeance through the second half of 2025, winning four of his last five (all here, 1m-1m2f); the bulk of those were on soft to heavy, and he has risen a combined total of 23lb in the handicap; merits respect, but is returning from a 223-day absence; rain would help.
-
Lauren Young(3) 11%Jim Goldie 14%00-004No signal15/2 9/2 7/1Does plenty wrong during his races but it hasn't stopped him from winning seven times, two of them over C&D; running himself back into form this year but others appeal more.
-
John Butler 13%—No signal16/1 12/1 14/122,000gns foal, 34,000gns yearling; second foal of a 5f-6f winner (including Listed; RPR 104); stable yet to strike with 2yos (as of Monday) in 2026; betting to guide.
-
Tony Carroll 13%3No signal22/1 15/2 16/1A nine-time Flat winner over 1m6f-2m, he made a pleasing hurdles debut when third of five finishers (with stablemate Alex The Great 27l back) in a Hereford maiden (2m, good) 15 days ago; steps up in trip and holds place claims.
-
Chad Bament 22%31431-No signal4/1 5/2 4/1Bumper winner who landed his second race over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; shapes as though he'll be suited by this step up in distance; respected.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Clive Cox 17%—No signal7/2 9/2 7/29,000euros foal, 37,000gns yearling; Phoenix Of Spain gelding; half-brother to 5f/6f winner Bankrupt (RPR 73); dam, unplaced over 6f-1m4f (RPR 44), is a sister to 1m4f Listed winner Crosspeace; the market can guide for this newcomer.
-
Shane Gray 15%2No signal12/1 7/1 10/1Another breeze-up purchase who fetched 70,000gns; market should be enlightening
- D
-
Tom Queally 10%2260-7No signal18/1 14/1 16/113-race maiden who can miss the break and he returned after wind surgery with a laboured effort over C&D (17-2) two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and he needs to leave that form behind.
-
Charlie Pike 7%-04522No signal20/1 13/2 18/10-8 but running well lately, finishing runner-up at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month and going down by a neck at Bath (1m, firm) 13 days later; races off the same mark and high on list.
-
Tom Marquand 16%Ollie Sangster 14%423-4No signal10/3 5/1 3/1Territories gelding; in the frame on all his four runs to date, returning with a good fourth on his handicap debut at Southwell (1m) last month; this keen-going sort holds solid claims back down to 7f.
-
Gina Mangan 11%John Berry 10%2123P-No signal14/1Shed his maiden tag in the corresponding race in 2021 (good to soft) and he has added a further four wins, the last three in consecutive renewals of a 2m handicap at Newmarket; chased home a stablemate in this race last year after a six-month absence; back from eight months off today and perhaps vulnerable to younger legs.
-
Desert Friend20:20 Gowran Park race 7 of 7P J F Murphy 5%901391No signal11/2 3/1 5/1Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his fifth Flat win early this month when landing 1m6f Sligo apprentice handicap in emphatic fashion under today's rider (yielding-to-soft); 8lb rise allows him to remain in this grade and has won over 2m. -
Jack Callan 14%George Boughey 18%—No signalSP30,000gns yearling, £30,000 2yo; Mehmas filly; half-sister to 6f 2yo winner Spirit Of Leros (RPR 90); dam, once-raced sister to winners Ektihaam (1m4f Listed) and Music Box (7f Group 3), is out of 1m/1m4f winning half-sister to 1m5f Group 3 winner Lycitus; yard going well so she enters calculations. -
Oisin Murphy 22%William Knight 14%723-23No signal11/10 3/2 11/1014-race maiden but he's returned from a break with two placed efforts in 1m4f handicaps (AW) this spring; on same mark at for his third at Lingfield last time and he's a big player if he responds well to first-time cheekpieces.
-
Lauren Young(3) 11%Jim Goldie 14%-08205No signal10/1 15/2 9/11-30; that win a narrow one at Newcastle (6f) in March 2025; runner-up at that same venue (5f) two months ago but less productive at Thirsk and Hamilton since; the least likely of the three Jim Goldie-trained runners.
-
Pat Phelan 8%2/7-17No signal8/1Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; never involved in a C&D handicap last time but that was against a pace bias and he has claims if things go more to plan this time.
-
George Wood 11%T. J. Kent 17%854-19No signal13/2 10/3 6/1Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%4-No signal5/1 11/2 5/1150-1 and green but promising debut fourth of 11 in 7f noivce at Leiecester (7f, good to firm) in September for Joseph Parr; gelded/changed hands for 11,000 guineas subsequently and he's open to a fair bit of progress for his new yard.
- E
-
W. J. Lee 16%W. McCreery 9%739-45No signal5/1 7/2 5/1Best effort came on handicap debut over 1m6f at Navan on yielding ground last August; produced another solid display at that venue last month, prominent all the way before losing fourth place to Celtic Druid; that rival finished well after getting into the clear and may uphold the form.
-
Chris Hayes 9%P A Fahy 6%8890-No signal66/1 33/1 66/1Modest form in bumpers and over hurdles; 50-1 when in rear at Dundalk on his Flat handicap debut; hard to fancy.
-
Hector Crouch 18%Michael Bell 13%—No signal9/1 8/1 17/270,000gns yearling; second foal of a maiden from the family of top stayer Gildoran; stable's 2yos usually better for a run and likely best watched unless strong in the market.
-
Freddie Keighley 12%Nick Scholfield 14%8114-3No signal14/1 7/1 12/1Landed back-to-back wins at Hereford over 3m1f on good this spring; found out in a higher grade twice since but back at his winning level and should run his race.
-
Greg Fairley 6%Katie Scott 10%32438-No signal80/1 33/1 66/14yo who has shown ability and has edged down the weights, but she wasn't at the top of her game on her final three runs last season and remains a maiden after ten starts; others are more compelling.
-
Luke Morris 12%John Ryan 9%45-785No signal12/1 7/1 12/1Of interest on her best AW efforts for John Butler and her second run for this yard was better than her first; needs another step forward if she is to come out on top and still has a bit to prove on the grass.
-
3-90No signal11/1 25/1 10/1Bumper/maiden hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott; has been running over shorter trips in maidens and could be a dark horse on handicap debut; not disgraced at this venue on the first of his two Flat starts for this stable.
-
TBA003-09No signalSP 20/1 25/1Second reserve; best run last year came on final start when third at Killarney (1m4f, soft); two runs this term well below that level but handicapper has dropped her 7lb so not one to rule out. -
Jake Dickson(3) 12%Tim Easterby 11%0-1296No signal6/1 9/2 11/2Capable at this level but his latest Beverley run was underwhelming
- F
-
261146No signal10/1 12/1 9/1Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/8.6f) in March; only 1lb higher than for his last win and he's had excuses with traffic issues and a slow start in last two runs; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied.
-
Jack Callan 14%7-074No signal12/1 9/1 11/1Showed improvement when beaten just over a length into fourth of seven on handicap debut here (7f) 16 days ago; needs to step up again, but the extra furlong should suit so that is quite possible.
-
Mickey Bowen 16%32/1-No signal10/3 5/2 3/1Back from a long absence to edge home in a good-ground bumper at Perth last month (first run in a tongue-tie); others in here did have superior form in that scene.
-
David Noonan 8%Ben Clarke 13%1126-No signal5/4 7/4 6/5Point winner who won a Warwick bumper by 7l and contested two Listed races since then, finishing second on the first occasion; promising recruit to hurdling.
-
Jamie Powell 8%M D O'Callaghan 12%8No signal50/1 28/1 40/1US Navy Flag filly; E1,000 foal bought back for E21,000 as a yearling; half-sister to winners Wonder Kid (1m2f/1m4f, RPR 101), Bavardages (7f-1m2f inc 2yo/AW; 83) and Doves Of Peace (6f AW; 61); dam French Listed-placed 7f-1m1f winner (inc 2yo; 94); needs to improve plenty on last month's Cork debut effort.
-
Chris Hayes 9%D K Weld 13%2No signal13/8 5/6 18/13Half-sister to four winners inc Eternal Silence (Group-placed 1m; RPR 105) & Chiara Luna (6f/8.5f inc 2yo/US; 95); dam 1m2f-1m4f winner (inc Group 2; 117); easy to back 16-1, very promising Naas debut in late March when staying on to finish second (Sanctijude fourth) to a hot favourite over today's trip (soft), despite running green; will appreciate 1m+ in time but big player on that run.
