-
Finley Marsh 14%Grace Harris 11%06306-No signal40/1 22/1 33/1Some encouragement when third of five in C&D maiden (soft) in September but beaten 10l in two subsequent handicaps; reappears as one of two for Grace Harris and it's still early days.
-
J P Flavin 5%24472-No signal10/1 11/2 10/11-8 over fences, the win coming in a beginners' at Tramore in November (21.5f, soft); fine effort over the same C&D latest, beaten a neck by Nettuno Italia and 3lb better off now; ran respectably over 21.5f here in April, shaping like this trip could suit; rain no problem; in the mix.
-
Joanna Mason 12%72316-No signalSPImproved as his stamina was drawn out last season, winning over 2m2f here in October (soft); below par on extremely deep ground at Nottingham when last seen 211 days ago but that is not the run to judge him on; unlikely he has reached his ceiling and he's an interesting contender.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%-69088No signal5/4 32/17 6/5Struggled for two yards in recent times; perhaps the return to Jane Chapple-Hyam, for whom he won three times last season, will do the trick down another 3lb.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%52-No signalSP FCST 32/17Improved from his debut when beaten less than a length by a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) in December; the drop back in trip may not be totally ideal, but he is still shortlisted in this field; stable runs four. -
3-1246No signal15/2 10/1 7/1Didn't get home over 7f here in March and is back off the same mark as when winning over C&D in January; off two months, but has won after much longer absences and high on the list.
-
Charles Bishop 10%George Baker 10%17228-No signal9/2 5/1 4/1Seven-time winner in France; 0-5 for Tom Dascombe but his second at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) in September was an eyebrow-raiser, looking all over the winner before being claimed late; considered on this stable debut/reappearance.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%David Evans 13%—No signal40/1 FCST 28/1March foal who is a half-brother to 5f winner Bust A Moon (RPR 71); dam 5f 2yo winner (93), sister to Greek 6f-1m winner Touch Paper, closely related to 5.5f/7f winner Limelite, half-sister to 7f winner Swindon; encouraging his dam won on her May juvenile debut, so it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market, especially compared to stablemate My A'Ali Baba.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%5No signal50/1 50/1 40/1100-1 when keeping on for fifth of eight, beaten about 8l, on debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month; her dam was useful and she's open to improvement, but she has just over 6l to find with Moonrunner on the Southwell form.
-
—No signalSP55,000gns yearling but failed to make the track for George Scott and attracted no interest at the sales last September; half-brother to Windsor Castle winner Ain't Nobody out of a useful winning sprinter; likely best watched. -
Lauren Young(3) 11%Jim Goldie 14%822231No signal5/2 9/4 5/22.25l behind Spirit Catcher here last month (1m1f, good) and he is 2lb worse off with that rival today; did win well at Hamilton (1m3f, good) 18 days ago, however, and likely to be in the thick of it again.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Kevin Frost 10%-48280No signal9/2 5/1 4/1Winless in 18 months and has regressed in recent times; quite happy on Tapeta but most wins have come after a recent outing and he's been off since a poor one on turf in March.
-
George Wood 11%772171No signal11/2 7/2 11/2Made it two wins in her last three starts in 7f Wolverhampton handicap last month; up 5lb and needs to reproduce it on her first turf run since her debut.
-
Danny Gilligan 12%Gordon Elliott 18%7149-5No signal11/2Half-brother to 145-rated chaser American Mike; off the mark over hurdles when making virtually all for a runaway win in an ordinary 2m6f Tramore maiden last season (soft); safely held twice afterwards; dropped away tamely after racing prominently on chase debut at Wexford (2m7f, good to yielding) last time; improvement needed.
-
Poppy Scott(7) 22%5-2213No signal5/2 10/3 9/4Resumed winning ways at Newcastle (1m4f) in April and backed it up with a solid third of five in 1m6f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; in the mix once more.
-
36No signal9/2 3/1 9/2Shaped with promise in two novice runs last month (5f, good and 6f, AW); quick enough to cope with the drop back to 5f and should go well, for all he isn't ideally drawn.
-
/4982-No signal15/2 5/1 7/1Took a while to find his feet but best effort yet when second of 15 at Down Royal's Christmas meeting (20.5f, good to yielding), keeping on well in closing stages; finished in front of Royal Time that day; big player after a break from 4lb higher.
-
82453-No signal8/1 5/1 15/2Both career wins at Limerick; went close here over hurdles in February; solid third of 12 in Tramore handicap chase last month (21.5f, good to yielding); in the hunt for the places back at his favourite venue.
-
Ruth Carr 12%39-080No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Habitual slow starter for whom it is yet to click since joining Ruth Carr; soundly beaten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; 28-1) just under a month ago; now 4lb lower - a career-low mark - seeking something positive; focus elsewhere.
-
James Owen 18%55No signal10/3SR 71 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
-
Clifford Lee 17%Tony Carroll 13%376337No signal7/1 11/2 13/2Exposed mare whose last win came in Wolverhampton classified (6f, AW) in January 2025; having first start on turf since September 2024 and others are more persuasive.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Bryan Smart 12%—No signal10/16,000gns yearling; third foal of a maiden half-sister to two useful winners; hooded for debut; stable yet to strike with 2yos this year.
- B
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Gordon Elliott 18%5-48No signal9/4 3/1 9/4Showed ability in three Irish maidens (7f to 1m2f) on a variety of ground; well drawn and raced prominently before weakening to finish eighth of 18 at Navan (1m2f, good to yielding) four weeks ago; second, fifth and seventh have won subsequently; cheekpieces go on and he's far from discounted.
-
4P254-No signal10/1 15/2 9/1Gained third chase win off 5lb lower at Down Royal in November; some decent runs in defeat since including when a 12.5l fourth of 13 at Leopardstown on latest (28.5f, yld-sft); this trip more suitable; place shout but may need more help from the handicapper to get his head back in front.
-
Jason Hart 14%Ivan Furtado 10%00-666No signal14/1 22/1 12/1His mark continues to fall but for good reason and this 9yo arrives with plenty to prove; wears a first-time tongue-tie; visor is removed.
-
Oliver Stammers 12%Grant Tuer 13%8-8119No signal2/1 5/2 2/1Her last four wins have come at this track, with two of them (7f/1m) last month; drawn wide when down the field at Chester two weeks ago but she has fared better on that front today; big run on the cards.
-
-62454No signal9/1 10/1 8/1Runner-up at Newcastle (6f) in March; tackles 7f for the first time in added cheekpieces.
-
Rowan Scott 12%Charlie Johnston 13%160355No signal5/1Solid efforts over C&D on his last two starts but more will be needed in this higher grade
-
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%—No signal14/1 9/1 12/1Late February foal and 5,500gns yearling; already-gelded half-brother to winners Betties Bay (6f including 2yo; RPR 85), Bobacious (1m2f; 79) and Colinski (11.6f; 64); dam 6f-1m winner (including 2yo; 83), half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Loving Spirit, out of 1m3f/1m4f winner; stable ticking along nicely with its 2yos and betting should provide some clues ahead of this one's debut.
-
Shane Fitzgerald 10%J Morrison 1%06060-No signal50/1 33/1 40/1Winless in five Flat starts and 13 over timber; hasn't looked as though the breakthrough is close, 30l behind at Thurles in October; chase debut.
-
8470-2No signal15/2 15/2 7/10-10, but made a promising return from 181 days off when second of seven at Nottingham (6f, good) last month; each-way claims if as effective on AW debut.
-
Danny Mullins 11%W J Lanigan 7%64P0F-No signal10/1 12/1 10/1Went close here off 2lb higher in April last year (19.5f, good); four tame efforts followed but there with every chance when falling two out at Tramore when last seen in August; contender if ready to roll after an absence.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Ruth Carr 12%309No signal18/1 7/1 16/1Half-brother to a few winners, including the yard's prolific Bobby Joe Leg; offered a bit of promise on debut before two poor efforts (all 7f at Newcastle); would want to see some support now handicapping.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Ivan Furtado 10%6092-1No signal2/1 7/4 2/1Clear promise as a 2yo, including over C&D; had wind op since last seen; can go well
-
Sean Kirrane 11%8118-7No signal12/1 10/1 12/1Won back-to-back, here (6f) and Wolverhampton (7f), last October; higher in the weights now and Ethan Tindall is booked for Ideal Guest; raced freely when seventh of nine at Wolverhampton (7f; 16-1) two months ago; others more obvious.
-
—No signal66/1 28/1 50/128,000gns yearling; half-sister to winners Contact (1m-1m4f including 2yo; RPR 103), Just Hubert (1m2f-2m4f including 2yo; 98) and Burst Of Colour (Japanese 6f/7f); dam French 1m-1m5f winner (including AW) out of Group-placed 6f/1m 2yo winner; makes some appeal on pedigree and the market should indicate what is expected.
-
Tom Dascombe 12%8644-No signal33/1 20/1 33/1Not obviously well handicapped on the form she showed in four maiden/novice events over 6f/7f last year, so will need to return from a five-month break with an improved effort.
-
Hollie Doyle 14%John Mackie 11%121621No signal9/2 7/2 9/2Dual C&D winner, but has raced exclusively over 7f since December and was successful over that distance here four weeks ago; has to prove he still has the speed for this trip, but his course record makes him hard to dismiss.
-
Kevin Stott 15%Edward Bethell 17%4-1No signalSP FCST 7/2Improved upon last September's debut fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) to win by 2l when odds-on at Catterick (7f, good) four weeks ago; she's in good hands to continue to progress and has strong claims under a 5lb penalty. -
Billy Loughnane 18%Gordon Elliott 18%900-1No signal13/8 18/13 31/19Gelded after three qualifying runs and it was a big jolt of improvement when scoring at Dundalk (5f, AW; first-time tongue-tie) on his handicap debut four weeks ago; 7lb rise but he did that cosily and could start rising through the ranks.
-
Archie Watson 15%777781No signal13/8 10/11 3/2Well-bred filly; took a while to get the hang of things but she took a good step forward when upped to 1m6f and fitted with a hood at Southwell three weeks ago, running out the 7l winner of a 0-55 event; up 10lb and has another 2f to travel today but surprising if she has reached her ceiling yet.
-
/2024-No signal7/2 11/4 7/2The most experienced mare in the field and rated 123 over fences; has often been highly tried to no avail, including when tailed off in Punchestown mares' Grade 2 latest; sights are lowered now and seems to handle most ground; chance.
-
Ryan Sexton 12%Julie Camacho 11%1107-3No signal5/1 4/1 9/2Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%George Boughey 18%—No signal16/1 5/1 14/1Closely related to winners Ghostwatch (1m4f-1m6f including AW/Listed; RPR 111) and Forever Be (1m4f; 99), half-sister to three winners including Pure Nature (1m4f AW; 91) and Nature's Order (1m4f-2m1f including AW); dam 1m2f-1m4f winner (including Listed; 100); attractive pedigree and stable's newcomers are always worthy of respect, but her breeding does suggest she will come into her own over further.
-
—No signal200/1 80/1 100/14,000gns 3yo; sixth foal; closely related to Japanese jumps winner, half-brother to two winners including Easily Amused (1m/1m3f; RPR 87); dam 1m AW winner (98); wears tongue-tie on belated debut; likely best watched.
- C
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Tim Easterby 11%24-616No signal11/2 5/1 9/2Off the mark for the year with a determined effort in a Class 6 at Doncaster last month (5f, good to firm); not in the same form at Ayr 16 days ago but this C&D winner could rebound with a big run.
-
Taryn Langley(5) 10%Adrian Wintle 11%33406-No signal10/1 22/1 17/2Not fully exposed after eight starts and it was a good start handicapping when third at Bath (good to firm) and Nottingham (also about 1m, good) in April and June last year; went backwards after that (soft and AW) and now returns having his first start at 6f since 2yo days; still worth a market check.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%Charlie Johnston 13%—No signal17/2 9/2 17/236,000gns half-sister to winners By The Book (Group-placed 7f-1m4f including 2yo/AW; RPR 112) and Cash Out (1m including AW/France; 97); dam unraced half-sister to 1m1f Group 2 winner Lord Admiral; makes appeal on breeding for a trainer who got off the mark with 2yos in 2026 at Ripon on Sunday.
-
Shane Gray 15%—No signal13/8 10/11 3/2100,000gns yearling, 450,000gns 2yo breeze-ups; by Palace Pier; seventh foal; closely related to Listed-placed 7f winner Fakhama (RPR 97), half-brother to winners Mujtaba (Group-placed 7.5f-1m2f; 118) and Mawood (1m2f; 89); dam dual South African 1m Grade 1 winner (104); stable had a well-backed 2yo newcomer win at Newcastle on Tuesday; high on the list on debut.
-
Jamie Spencer 12%Michael Bell 13%—No signal5/1 11/4 5/140,000gns half-brother to winners Citronnade (1m3f/1m4f; RPR 98) and Ardenlee Star (6f-1m including 2yo/US dirt; 83); dam 1m-1m4f winner (including US; 90); one to note in the market.
-
Paul Nolan 10%72/54-No signalSP FCST 10/1One of two for trainer; point-to-point winner in 2024; best of four maiden hurdle runs was when a 2.25l runner-up at Wexford in April last year (2m5f, yielding); decent fourth at Down Royal on handicap debut last time (2m1f, soft); improvement now chasing not ruled out. -
Grace Harris 11%856-56No signal12/1Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022.
-
Mohammed Tabti 14%Iain Jardine 12%811-07No signal16/1 10/1 16/1Ended his 2025 campaign with a pair of 1m4f wins, the first of them here and by a wide margin; two heavy defeats this spring but he's the type to pop up soon, perhaps when faced with some slower ground.
-
455-67No signalSPA fair 6f juvenile maiden for Clive Cox but yet to show that form for her new stable, only seventh in 5f Newcastle novice in January; needs to step forward after a break. -
Marco Ghiani 16%Marco Botti 16%—No signal11/8 11/4 5/458,000euros son of Camelot who is the first foal of 5f-7f maiden (RPR 67); the stable had a 2yo win easily over this trip at Lingfield on Monday so market confidence behind this one would look significant.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%02110-No signal6/1 11/2 5/11-12 on turf; returned to form when second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in September then went back-to-back at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on next two starts; slowly run series final didn't work out next time; not discounted on this comeback.
-
50502-No signal7/1 11/1 7/1Record of 1-19 over fences; lost his form for Philip Rothwell last summer but two of his three runs for this yard full of promise, on latest when runner-up to an easy winner at Tramore; contender.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%Derek Shaw 7%868569No signal28/1 14/1 22/113-race maiden who finished about 5l behind Turbo Command over C&D a fortnight ago; switch from a hood to a visor will need to make a big difference.
- D
-
Charles Bishop 10%Adam Kirby 12%11-571No signal2/1 11/4 2/13-7 on AW, his latest win coming at Kempton (6f) a fortnight ago on third start for Adam Kirby; up 3lb on just this second go on turf and he can probably do better again.
-
Gina Mangan 11%Tony Carroll 13%52-104No signal9/4 3/1 2/1Better than ever when readily seeing off 11 rivals at Southwell (7f) under Gina Mangan in January; never involved over 1m at Doncaster next time but shaped as if still in form when fourth back at Southwell (7f) 23 days ago.
-
J J Slevin 13%U46PP-No signal16/1 10/1 14/1Modest strike-rate of 3-38 over fences with last win coming at Kilbeggan in August last year; jumping awry when pulled up in his two most recent starts in December; suited by better ground but others preferred.
-
Jason Hart 14%John Mackie 11%6-8No signal40/1 100/1 33/1Won good-ground bumper at Worcester on debut last September; however, down the field at big odds at Southwell (1m3f/1m4f, AW) on his first two Flat starts and a transformation is needed.
-
734276No signal12/1 17/2 11/1Two wins at 7f on AW and he went close on that surface at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; below that form on last two starts and has something to prove back at 6f on this forecast easy turf; blinkers go on.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Ruth Carr 12%76-313No signal10/3 4/1 3/1Running well both here and at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) since returning last month and has twice won over this C&D in her career; major player, especially if getting a solid pace to aim at.
-
George Wood 11%Michael Dods 12%8-No signal50/1 40/1 33/19-1, always behind when eighth of ten in novice at Redcar (5f, good) on her debut last April; she needs to hit the ground running after her absence.
-
Ivan Furtado 10%693-65No signal14/1 11/1 12/1Won for Julie Camacho at Beverley (7.5f; good to firm; from 3lb lower) last July; respectable across three starts for this trainer but does have some work to do with Saisons d'Or from Southwell (fifth, beaten 3l in an added tongue-tie); the task isn't impossible.
-
Liam Quinlan 8%Ray Hackett 9%P1674-No signal11/2 5/1 11/2Won here over hurdles in February (15.5f, heavy) and sent off favourite for 19.5f course handicap chase on latest when a never-threatening fourth; has a bit to find but the drop in trip should help.
-
452PP-No signal28/1 18/1 25/1Decisive winner of handicap chase at Wexford (25.5f, good) last July off 4lb lower; pulled up both starts since returning from a break, in the Ulster National and over the banks at Punchestown; this more suitable but others arrive in better form.
-
31P22-No signal11/2 7/2 11/2Won over hurdles at Clonmel in January; solid runs in defeat in handicap chases at Clonmel (2m, heavy) and here (2m2f, heavy); effective on good to yielding when successful over fences at Kilbeggan last summer off 87 (2m4f); player.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Tony Carroll 13%-58933No signal13/2 7/2 6/1Yet to score but he ran respectably on his last two starts, finishing third at Leicester (6f) last month and again at Windsor (5f, also good to firm; yet to race on slower than good) a fortnight ago; return to this trip can aid his cause and he looks the best of three chances for Tony Carroll.
-
Jason Watson 13%Andrew Balding 18%5-3No signal5/1 11/2 9/2250,000euros yearling; promise in both starts over 7f, including when third of seven at Salisbury (good to firm) 18 days ago; handicaps are an option after this but she's still one for the shortlist in this field with the extra furlong likely to suit.
-
Jedd O'Keeffe 14%8-2400No signal33/1 14/1 33/1Maiden (0-9); runner-up on AW at Newcastle (6f; 18-1) in February; beaten 29l (13th of 14) and 8l (12th of 14) at Pontefract and Redcar respectively on his last two appearances; easing mark and claimer ridden but difficult to make a case for on recent form.
-
5No signal9/1 10/1 17/250-1 for last month's Thirsk debut (7f, good) and shaped with encouragement amidst evident inexperience off the bridle; open to improvement and no surprise to see him step forward.
-
Jason Hart 14%James Owen 18%91731-No signal11/4 2/1 5/2Inconsistent for new yard in the second half of last year but posted wins at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) and Nottingham (1m6f, heavy; when last seen); in the mix if at the top of her game on this reappearance.
- E
-
Mason Paetel(3) 11%Philip Kirby 8%433733No signal22/1 12/1 22/1Doesn't find winning easy (2-28) but is consistent for the level; third in four of his last five AW starts, including when keeping on behind Mount Ruapehu at Southwell (6f; 14-1) 23 days ago; wide draw isn't ideal for turf return; stablemate of Indy's Angel.
-
Sean Levey 13%David Menuisier 13%9No signal33/1 40/1 28/1Made his debut in a traditionally hot Newbury novice (1m2f, good; 200-1) last month; finished ninth of ten but the winner is currently the shortest-priced British contender for the Derby; unlikely to be facing anything of that calibre on this second start.
-
Ewan Whillans 11%9839-7No signal11/1 9/1 10/19yo who went 0-11 last year and was soundly beaten on last month's reappearance at Catterick; however, he may have needed that latest run and is on a competitive mark judged on last season's placed form.
-
G B Noonan 9%Norman Lee 5%700PP-No signal80/1 50/1 80/1Both chase wins have been over further and hasn't won in over two years; impossible task at weights in veterans' handicap at this course when last seen but still hard to make a case for.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Harry Eustace 13%387-2No signal15/2 4/1 15/2Good start to his handicap career when close second of 12 to Lion Of Mali on last month's 7f Leicester reappearance (good to firm); if he comes on for that run it's possible he can turns the tables on a rival who had race fitness on his side on that occasion; well held on good to soft last year but it's much too soon to suggest he can't cope with softer than good.
-
-12562No signal7/2 11/4 3/1Four-time AW winner who has shown he's equally as effective on turf this spring, shaping better than the result at Ascot before finishing second of six at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) on Thursday; same mark if turned out again quickly but this is a stronger race. -
Robbie Downey 13%Roger Varian 20%6No signal22/1 12/1 20/1140,000gns yearling; sent off 13-2 when beaten less than 3l into sixth of ten on his Newcastle debut (7f, Tapeta) this month; open to improvement, but Affettuoso looks the stable's main hope.
-
Terence O'Brien 12%62515-No signal7/2 11/2 7/2Got off the mark over hurdles at Clonmel last month when dropped to 2m (soft); stamina test remains in doubt after moderate fifth at Tramore (20.5f) on latest; half-sister to high-class chaser Thunder Rock so must be of interest on chase bow back down in trip.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%514313No signal9/4 11/4 32/17Two AW wins (6f and 5f) from his last five starts and running well on turf too; not beaten far when third of five at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) this month; player if this forecast slower ground is no issue.
-
Ruth Carr 12%730-54No signal8/1 13/2 8/1Won over C&D (for Declan Carroll) last July and he competes here from a 5lb lower mark; lacked the pace to challenge on first two starts for Ruth Carr (who also saddles Filey Beach) so stepping back up to 7f rates as a positive move; wide draw, yet still merits respect.
-
George Downing 10%Ed Walker 16%8-8561No signal4/1 5/1 7/2Improved when comfortable 3l winner of a 17-runner Leicester handicap (7f, good) 38 days ago, which was her first turf start since finishing fourth on debut last summer (also good); the Leicester second bombed out next time but bounced back to score at Redcar on Monday; raised 8lb but could easily still have some scope in her mark.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Richard Hannon 12%—No signalSP 16/1 11/126,000gns yearling; fifth foal; half-sister to winners Messerschmitt (1m 2yo, RPR 90; useful 2m hurdle) and Goose Rock (5f-1m2f; 67); dam 7f/7.4f 2yo winner (88); useful standard needed on debut; the betting can guide. -
Ethan Tindall 10%-91171No signal4/1 7/1 4/1Won on last three visits to Catterick; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form.
-
Oisin Orr 14%53No signal10/3 7/2 10/3Green when unable to land telling blow at Beverley on debut; should fare better this time
-

William Cox 5%13759-No signal20/1 FCST 18/1Took her Chepstow record to 2-4 when seeing off five rivals over 1m2f last July but her form dipped at the end of the year; races over short of 1m for the first time in five years on her reappearance and a watching brief is the call despite her good record here.
-
40662/No signal28/1 14/1 25/1Won twice on AW in her youth; three hurdle wins since joining this stable, the latest at Perth last October; not so good this spring and a wind op last month needs to turn things around.
-
Ben Harvey 7%Cian Collins 9%511F9-No signal15/2 7/1 15/2Debut point-to-point winner bagged back-to-back wins over hurdles in September in a Galway handicap (2m7f, good to yielding) and a Downpatrick novice contest (2m6f, yielding); fell at the first at Galway next time and tailed off at Cheltenham when last seen in October; top-rated of these over hurdles.
-
0/PPP-No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Maiden was pulled up in her last three hurdles outings; needs to leave all known form well behind on chase debut.
-
Mr Lucas Murphy 19%Harry Derham 20%28788/No signal13/2 6/1 13/2Off for more than a year since narrowly beaten over hurdles on his debut for his new jumps-oriented yard last March; that came after almost a year off, so he can go well fresh; market useful under a jockey who's ridden two winners over hurdles this year.

Rowan Scott 12%Charlie Johnston 13%3No signal11/2 9/2 11/238,000euros yearling; dam a 6f 2yo winner (RPR 91); no surprise to see him feature

Andrew Mullen 10%Iain Jardine 12%636No signal33/1 28/1 33/1Modest form in two C&D runs last month; nurseries should prove more suitable in time
-
56332-No signal11/2 4/1 11/2Maiden ran some good races in defeat last year, including when runner-up at Thurles (18.5f, yielding) when last seen in October under a forceful ride; the blinkers worn that day are disgarded; 182-day absence.
-
Kevin Stott 15%Iain Jardine 12%4358-4No signal16/1 10/1 16/1Ended last year by finishing well held on his C&D handicap debut; slightly more encouraging signs when 4l fourth of eight on 6f Newcastle reappearance three weeks ago but he'll need to build on that, stepping back up to 7f.

Sean Kirrane 11%Tim Easterby 11%9-228No signal13/2 9/2 6/1Second at Doncaster and Ayr but well beaten on soft ground at Haydock yesterday
-
Dougie Costello 10%738-97No signal50/1 40/1 33/1Fair form when third in a 7f Leicester novice last October but it's a standout run so far, finishing well held in handicaps on all three subsequent outings; the stable also runs Wodao.
-
Liam Quinlan 8%Ray Hackett 9%/0170-No signal40/1 20/1 33/1Four-time chase winner; scored at Wexford last summer off 85; well beaten off much lower hurdles mark at Tipperary in October; veteran returns from 227-day absence; may need the run.
-
William Cox 5%Barry Murphy 5%—No signal250/1 FCST 200/1By a miler out of a dam whose best form came at up to 1m4f so maybe bumpers weren't his thing but those two seriously heavy defeats aren't easily ignored; Flat debut.
-
Joe Leavy 11%76-64No signal7/1 9/1 13/2Raced around 6f so far, showing his best form when fourth of 13 on handicap debut at Windsor (good to firm) last time, faring best of those held up; 7f is likely to be within range on that evidence; not discounted.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Michael Appleby 13%—No signal50/1 66/1 40/1Half-brother to four winners including Almosh'her (1m/1m4f including AW; RPR 103), Pappa Louis (7f 2yo; 78) and Love Yourself (Italian 6.7f-1m3f); dam Listed-placed Italian 1m1f-1m3f winner (95); already gelded and handicaps over further may be his thing in due course.
-
Shane Gray 15%236-74No signal9/2 5/1 9/2Eight-race maiden but has shown he can be competitive from his mark, including fourth of 11 at Wetherby (7f, good to firm; acts on heavy) 25 days ago.

Oisin McSweeney 10%42557-No signal20/1 16/1 18/112-race maiden; best effort came when headed close home at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) last September; ended last season on a downbeat note (AW); gelded and best watched off a six-month break; stablemate of Hear The Drums.

Ethan Tindall 10%Harriet Bethell 20%853-32No signal15/8 5/2 7/4Showed some promise at 2yrs for Ed Walker and has built on it for his current handler, hooded when runner-up in 6f Southwell handicap three weeks ago; a likely player in his bid for a breakthrough success despite a 2lb rise.
-
Jack Garritty 12%Mark Walford 11%09-431No signal9/1 9/1 17/2Has made a positive start for his new yard, building on promising handicap debut third when winning over 7f at Doncaster (good to firm) 19 days ago; only 2lb higher but the subsequent exploits of horses from that race don't suggest it's particularly strong form.
-
4P450-No signal40/1 28/1 40/1More than three years since his last racecourse win; okay run in a Cork hunters' chase when a 22l fifth but tailed off at Punchestown last time; blinkers go on now but unlikely.
-
David O'Meara 13%2239-9No signal14/1 11/1 12/1Placed on her first three runs in 7f maidens last August; beat only one rival after seven months off on her handicap debut at Nottingham (1m) last month but should strip sharper here.
-
William Carson 10%Tony Carroll 13%6-6846No signal13/2 8/1 13/2His two wins for Michael Appleby came over a stiff 1m on soft ground in autumn 2024 but has a largely regressive profile since; offered a bit more for current yard when fourth at Wolverhampton in March but last of six at Kempton since (both 7f); it remains to be seen whether a return to turf helps.
-
34634-No signal12/1 11/1 12/1Proved consistent without winning at two, though she went too keenly when fourth in 6f Newcastle nursery on her final run in November; she can't be ruled out if more settled in 2026.
-
Shane Gray 15%Kevin Ryan 12%4187-3No signal9/2 7/1 4/1Won on nursery debut at Hamilton (6f, good) last July; yet to kick on from that but her reappearance third at Newcastle (6f, AW) three weeks ago gives her something to build on and she's not ruled out.
-
David Egan 13%David Loughnane 12%846-No signal28/1 22/1 25/1Not devoid of ability on his first two starts (7f, AW) but well held on turf on final outing; has been gelded ahead of this handicap debut after seven months off; the betting should help guide to expectations.
-
Alan O'Sullivan 10%Barry T Murphy 13%/80P1-No signal40/1 16/1 40/1Never a factor in seven hurdle starts under rules; narrow winner of Ballysteen point-to-point last month; handicap chase debut.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Ivan Furtado 10%—No signal25/1 16/1 25/1Not long turned two (May 11 foal); £5,000 yearling; ninth foal; half-sister to three winners out of a minor 2yo winner; stable's modest strike-rate with 2yos doesn't point to her being the answer today.
-
M. P. Sheehy 8%Adrian Keatley 15%008-35No signal15/2 6/1 13/21-16, the win coming in a Naas nursery (5f, good) as a 2yo; may have needed his stable debut at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago and worth a market check off his much lower AW mark.
-
Olivia Tubb 12%Grace Harris 11%3446-5No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Runner-up twice here (including 7f) last year but he's still a maiden after 28 starts; well-held fifth on 1m Bath reappearance five weeks ago and it's likely the wait for a first win will go on.
-
Cam Hardie 6%731878No signal66/1 40/1 50/1Wildly inconsistent filly who's finished well held a few times since springing a 33-1 shock over C&D in March; it seems the positive early impact of the visor may have worn off.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%Stuart Williams 13%6-No signal9/1 10/1 17/280-1 but did hint at ability when sixth of ten on her Newmarket debut (7f, good to firm) last September; it's likely she will need further than this before she comes into her own, though.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Shaun Lycett 13%/00-68No signal7/2 13/2 7/2His mark continues to tumble and he's one to watch in the betting in reapplied cheekpieces with the slow ground in his favour; however, this 12yo has very much struggled on his four starts since last June.
-
P. J. McDonald 14%Tim Easterby 11%5-4812No signal5/2Improved for the step up to 2m when making all at Ripon on his second handicap start
-
Tom Eaves 8%Sam England 15%-85261No signal6/4 3/2 18/13Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when picking up nicely to collar a back-to-form rival (pair clear) at Haydock (5f, soft) on Thursday; 5lb penalty in a deeper race but a bigger factor could be that the ground is unlikely to be as testing this time (has won on good but seems most potent when the mud is flying).
-
442365No signal5/1Yet to win (0-10) but just failed to do so in a newly applied visor at Chelmsford (7f; 12-1) in March; fairly respectable since, a weakening fifth at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) latest; Mason Paetel's 5lb claim might assist from a handicapping perspective.
-
P86U2-No signal14/1 9/1 12/1Record of 0-31 under rules; best of three point runs of late when runner-up at Dromahane last month; talented claimer rode a winner for the yard last month so a market check is advised nonetheless.
-
Jack Nicholls(3) 12%5-7412No signal9/2 7/2 9/2A dual 6f winner at Newcastle over the winter and back from eight weeks off with a very good second of 14 in 6f Pontefract handicap last month; up 2lb but not out of things.
-
Cam Hardie 6%35-592No signal7/1 3/1 13/2Losing run up to 14, but three of his five wins have come over C&D and he performed much better when second of 11 back here a fortnight ago; a player from the same mark.
-
Olivia Tubb 12%Jonathan Portman 13%0No signal80/125-1 and she never figured when last of ten at Bath (5.5f, firm; Ariane Sky fifth) three weeks ago; stable's juveniles can improve for a run but she'll need to.

Joey Haynes 10%Chelsea Banham 15%51-210No signal25/1 14/1 25/1In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Richard Hannon 12%6-0106No signal2/1 31/19 2/1Won at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month and bounced back from lesser run at Newbury (6f, good) when sixth of ten at Thirsk (5f, good to firm), beaten just over 2l; back on slow ground today and could be in the mix.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Edward Bethell 17%7-22No signal7/4 7/4 3/2Down the field at Newcastle on his 2yo debut (1m) but he has run well in defeat in two runs this spring, latterly when second of five on turf debut at Redcar three weeks ago (7f, good to firm); should go well again.
-
David Nolan 12%Paul Midgley 11%/445-6No signal33/1 14/1 28/1Showed some fair form over 1m in a light campaign for Harry Charlton in 2025; last of six in 6f Redcar novice on her yard debut last month so needs to take a big step forward in a refitted hood.
-
Oisin Orr 14%Edward Bethell 17%/8991-No signal11/2 3/1 11/2His best efforts for Godolphin came on AW; no show in two turf runs for Ed Bethell in the autumn but he bounced back to form wih a bang when making all in a 7f handicap at Kempton in November; a 2lb rise is manageable but there are other front-runners on show and he has a 197-day absence to overcome back on turf.
-
Zak Wheatley 10%Declan Carroll 11%66553-No signalSP FCST 10/13-28, his most recent win from a similar mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last May; ended last season with a creditable third to City Captain at Pontefract (6f, soft), so won't wind whatever the weather does; bit to take on trust off a 227-day absence. -
Shane Foley 11%William Haggas 23%53-No signal6/4 6/5 3/2Two 1m AW starts in December, finishing fifth to 2,000 Guineas runner King's Trail at Kempton and third to Derby hopeful Saxon Street at Chelmsford; goes up in trip for this seasonal/turf debut and it will be disappointing if he doesn't have more to offer.
-
203P4-No signalSP 10/1 11/1Hurdles winner; placed twice from five starts over hurdles last season, with a moderate fourth here when last seen; struggled in two chase runs in 2024. -
Clifford Lee 17%645-96No signalSP 17/2 11/1Tumbled down the weights for Jamie Osborne without really looking like capitalising, but worth a second look in the betting for new yard back from four months off under Clifford Lee who has a very healthy 10-49 record for the stable. -
Cieren Fallon 18%Heather Main 12%43621-No signal9/2 5/2 9/2Progressive during last year's eight-race campaign, finishing second in a nursery at Nottingham (6f, heavy) last October and going one better there (5f, soft) six days later; reappears with conditions in her favour; chance.

Shane Gray 15%4No signal8/1 13/2 7/125-1 and beaten just over 7l when fourth of six on last month's debut at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm; ran without a shoe); however, he made some late headway and his attractive pedigree suggests he could have lots more to offer when things click; steps up in trip and could have an each-way chance.

Daniel King 10%87505-No signal7/1Second runner for yard; 1-17 over hurdles and extended record to 0-22 over fences on latest at Tramore (2m), jumping mistakes proving costly but beaten only 4l; longer trip not an issue.
