The day's horses
- A
-
Jonny Peate 9%Jack Morland 10%3No signal13/212-1 for his Lingfield debut three weeks ago (6f, AW), a race where he kept on stealthily to take third; open to plenty of improvement but it will be needed.
-
Sean Levey 13%Richard Hannon 12%47-650No signal8/1 FCST 7/1Has been unable to sustain early progress and is 0-7 since debut success; ran respectably on penultimate start and is on a reduced mark but chance of doubling his tally largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear.
-
Ivan Furtado 10%432-56No signal6/1 11/1 11/2Promising third at Bath (1m, soft) last October on second start and runner-up in Newcastle nursery (7f, AW) next time; she hasn't shone on her two runs this spring (1m/1m2f, good/good to firm) but the drop back in trip and return to slower ground may help.
-
David Probert 13%160-92No signal18/1 16/1 18/1All of his seven wins have been over shorter trips but he produced a strong finish when a 2l second over C&D (good) 18 days ago; on unchanged mark and has possibilities if he can find some extra spark.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%08-753No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Completed 6f Newmarket handicap hat-trick last summer (good to firm); kept on well for fifth of 14 in Listed race at Bath (5f, good) last month and close third in handicap there (5f, good) latest; has run well on heavy ground here; improvement needed but the return to 6f can suit; not ruled out.
-
Peter Winks 9%-86857No signal80/1 66/1 80/15 wins at up to 9.4f; stays 1m3f but likely there will be stronger stayers in the line up
-
William Carver 10%Jamie Osborne 12%214547No signal10/1 12/1 9/1Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in February; wasn't far off that level in next three runs but his form slumped at Lingfield three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for last success but he needs to bounce back on this return to turf.
-
—No signal8/1 6/1 8/11m2f Flat winner (soft) but has only made the track four times since that success for Andrew Balding in October 2023; has changed hands since beaten a distance at Ffos Las last September; looks best watched unless market vibes are strong.
-
Rian Corcoran 15%Gordon Treacy 12%35516-No signal4/1 4/1 10/30-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth-time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) in March; looked fortunate because the leader made a bad mistake at the last but he's only 2lb higher here and he had an excuse when stepped back up 2m4f last time; dangerous back in trip.
-
Neil Mulholland 15%7246B-No signal10/1 8/1 10/10-17 under rules and was brought down early on at Taunton (2m, good) last month; has been placed a couple of times but is hard to fancy.
-
Eoghan Finegan 10%Gavin Cromwell 11%4/241-No signal13/2 5/1 6/1Dual Flat winner got off the mark over hurdles over C&D last September; raised 6lb for this first hurdle runs since; not a bad seasonal bow on the Flat recently.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Michael Dods 12%2114-3No signal6/1 FCST 5/1He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results.
-
94No signal9/1 15/2 9/1His two runs over 5f suggest this longer trip will suit; can do better but he will need a good deal more to win.
-
Eoghan Finegan 10%Gerard Keane 9%88/7P-No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Ballinrobe maiden hurdle winner in 2023; returned from absence last year with two moderate Flat runs; tailed off over hurdles at Gowran; pulled up at Fairyhouse; not easy to fancy on chase debut.
-
Mr R James 10%S G Carey 14%023P5-No signal17/2 9/1 17/2Two point wins plus two hunter chase wins, notably this race last year; however, has been poor on his two recent starts and looks to be the yard's second string.
-
Jason Watson 13%Tom Gretton 11%/557-6No signal66/1 40/1 66/1Has not come up to scratch over 1m4f-2m1f in her four handicaps (trained last year by Marcus Tregoning, 2026 reappearance with this yard) and two of those were at this track, but she has fallen 9lb in the process.
-
Bradley Harris 17%Neil Mulholland 15%511U2-No signal15/2 5/1 13/2Off the mark at the 22nd attempt in a Plumpton chase (2m4f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie and visor) last December; avoided a penalty and successfully followed up at Fontwell (2m3f, heavy); matched that effort at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) latest; acts on good; each-way player.
-
Paul Nolan 10%/5386-No signal8/1 7/1 15/2Point winner for Colin Bowe; maiden over hurdles; encouragement taken from chasing debut when midfield at Thurles in October (18.5f, good to yielding); dam half-sister to dual Grade 1-winning chaser Conflated; tongue-tied on return.
-
Rowan Scott 12%Katie Scott 10%—No signal80/1 40/1 66/118,000euros yearling; third foal; half-sister to 10.6f AW winner Lord Talbot (RPR 56); unraced dam closely related to 1m6f Listed winner Arya Tara, out of 1m2f winner; this Sottsass newcomer may prefer a longer trip.
-
Oisin Orr 14%-33304No signal9/1 13/2 9/1Blitzed his rivals at Southwell in December (5f) when a visor was first used; generally run well in defeat since but he will need to pull out more to take this prize.
- B
-
Charles Bishop 10%3No signal8/1 9/1 8/1Showed some promise with third of six, best of the newcomers, in Salisbury conditions race (5f, good to firm) won by quite a useful sort (Listed placed since); not difficult to envisage her going well.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%S. P. C. Woods 12%111-65No signal5/2 32/17 5/2Unraced on softer than good when on turf; made immediate progress when switched to AW in the autumn, completing a hat-trick in a 1m4f novice and 1m4f/1m6f handicaps; perhaps in need of the race (albeit joint-favourite) on reappearance last month and fifth of 12 at Newmarket (1m6f) four weeks later was respectable, but settling him was an issue; suitability for a slog over 2m can therefore be questioned.
-
Paul O'Brien 14%13855-No signal20/1 12/1 18/1Point/bumper winner; hasn't got going in four runs over hurdles, latest when last of five at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) last month on handicap debut, still early days but she needs to show improvement.
-
UPUU-No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Form figures in points aren't inspiring but was still in the lead at the second-last when unseating at Ballysteen last time; could run better than expectations.
-
Oliver Stammers 12%Grant Tuer 13%2122-6No signal11/2 7/1 9/2In good form last May-July, winning at Carlisle (1m, soft) and runner-up on four occasions, including there at 1m1f on soft; never dangerous on reappearance 15 days ago, which also happened at the same juncture last term before a good run next time; player if he can stay 1m2f, which isn't nailed on.
-
-73862No signalSP FCST 12/1Her sole success came on turf and her recent Kempton second (1m) was comparable form; could go well back on the grass.
-
Ben Jones 17%Ben Pauling 17%21346-No signal15/2 15/2 13/2Looked promising when winning a bumper on her debut in August 2023 but it took her an age to get going over hurdles, eventually winning a Uttoxeter maiden last September; hasn't gone on from that in three subsequent runs and returns following a break.
-
595-62No signal10/1 17/2 10/1Just one win from 22 starts but that came at Brighton (6f, good) last May and he was runner-up on AW at Lingfield last month; remains well handicapped on old form and he's in the mix back on turf.
-
Luke Morris 12%James Owen 18%05535-No signal11/2 6/1 5/1Upped in trip and 11-10 favourite when weakening into third of six on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, AW) in September but that is the best form from his five starts; has otherwise not gone beyond 1m4f (tried in cheekpieces on final outing) so today's new trip might offer hope on this first run since 18,000gns sale out of Harry Charlton's last October.
-
Kevin Stott 15%Kevin Ryan 12%—No signal16/1 14/1 16/1155,000euros yearling; eighth foal; Minzaal half-sister to four winners including Je Zous (1m/9.4f including 2yo/Group 3), I'll Have Another (7f-1m6f including 2yo; RPR 102) and Bucky Larson (7f/1m; 100); dam 10.6f winner (81); one of two newcomers for yard; could go well on debut; check betting.
-
Cam Hardie 6%Adam Nicol 16%/908-3No signal7/2 2/1 11/4Modest maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger and showed little in three hurdles for current yard this year; last month's return to the Flat was much more encouraging though, keeping on strongly over 1m4f at Musselburgh, and she now has something to build on.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Charlie Johnston 13%3-25No signal14/1 17/2 14/1Disappointing favourite in Southwell novice (7f, AW) last month but short-headed in Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) previously; bred to be suited by this step up in trip and he's not ruled out on handicap debut.
-
1/41P-No signal15/2 5/1 7/1Point winner who landed a bumper at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in October; pulled up on hurdles debut back there (2m4f, soft; 100-30) the following month when she was reported to have bled; has had a break since and may be worth another chance. -
Oisin Murphy 22%Hughie Morrison 12%8600-4No signal6/1 6/1 11/2Unraced on softer than good; struggled badly in her four handicaps last season but reappeared with a closer finish when fourth of ten at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; 16-1) late last month; needs to build on that.
-
Kieren Fox 10%4790-9No signalSP FCST 66/117-race maiden who has had plenty of chances off basement marks and was beaten 12l on her reappearance at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month; makes no appeal. -
Sam James 14%K. R. Burke 20%—No signal11/2 7/2 11/282,000euros yearling, £105,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; Persian Force half-sister to 6f AW winner Jorge Alvares (RPR 97); dam unraced, is granddaughter of 6f 2yo Group 2 scorer; major stable; good credentials.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%Harry Charlton 16%443-41No signal6/4 31/19 5/4Promise as a 2yo and again upped to 1m2f for his handicap debut at Sandown four weeks ago; carried his head awkwardly (possibly still green) but was well on top at the finish in Haydock event (1m2f, good to soft; dropped to Class 5) yesterday and looks likely to improve further; respected under 6lb penalty, assuming he turns out quickly. -
Shane Gray 15%K. R. Burke 20%421-43No signal11/2Defied top weight in the 2025 Cambridgeshire (1m1f, good to firm) and holds a leading chance provided that smart handicap form is reproduced; hasn't transferred it back to Group level this term but he's respected on ratings and is a similar type to last year's winner of this race (for same connections).
-
Sean Bowen 24%Billy Aprahamian 16%83P27-No signal7/2 3/1 10/3Nine-race maiden who has been inconsistent over hurdles but he was a close second in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good; tongue-tie added) on his penultimate run; on same mark here and has possibilities if he can recapture that form on this switch to fences.
-
Alan O'Sullivan 10%Gordon Elliott 18%9960-No signal20/1Beaten a cumulative distance of 131l in trio of maidens at 2m-2m2f on good and yielding ground; jumping issues evident when tailed off on handicap debut at Killarney; top connections and may have benefitted from the break.
-
Richie McLernon 13%Gary Brown 11%8-No signal66/1 FCST 50/116-1 on debut, when tailed-off last of eight at Huntingdon (good) last month; tongue-tie goes on.
-
Mr D McGill(7) 10%PP/1-4No signal6/1 6/1 5/1Won a point on fourth start last month on his first run in almost a year; solid bumper debut at Wexford early this month and should step forward from that so can be a player.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Adrian Wintle 11%306-06No signal33/1 22/1 33/1Sole win (19 starts) was over 1m2f at Ffos Las last June; has the same mark today, having finished no better than sixth in his four races since, two of them this season; raced freely when behind here on his only attempt beyond 1m4f (1m5f last September) so there are enough doubts.
-
Lewis Stones 12%Anthony Day 9%835F-PNo signal50/1Ex-Irish maiden who has failed to complete over fences (fell/pulled up) in the last two of his three runs for current yard; overall record is now 0-11 and he's not finished closer than 10l to a winner; opposable.
- C
-
—No signal11/1 FCST 9/1£14,000 3yo; third foal; dam runner-up 2m4f chase in France, half-sister to French winners Ciel Bleu Azur (2m2f-2m5f hurdle/chase), Coline Princesse (2m1f chase) and Captain Jack (2m3f/2m4f chase); hooded on debut; stable 15% in bumpers in last two seasons; market check.
-
Keith Donoghue 13%U417U-No signal4/1Finally rewarded on tenth bumper start with Kilbeggan win in August on good to yielding; saddle slipped when midfield on hurdles debut; unseated rider at the first at Thurles in November; first run for new yard after 183 days off.
-
Callum Rodriguez 20%Edward Bethell 17%13397-No signal7/1 5/1 13/2Won twice in novice company before running creditably in 1m handicaps at Ascot and Redcar last July; both subsequent runs have resulted in heavy defeats over 1m2f; returns from 222 days off at a lower level and back at a mile; not ruled out.
-
00-625No signal11/4 11/4 5/2Did well last term, winning four times; went close at Beverley on penultimate start and paid for racing freely in cheekpieces a few days later; runs without the headgear this time and could go well.
-
Rob Hornby 11%Hughie Morrison 12%63102-No signal7/1 17/2 7/1Close third on soft at Yarmouth (1m6f) last July was his best turf form; needs better given the improvement he's shown on Kempton AW (2m) in two of his three starts since, but he'd have a good chance if that form is transferred back to turf; won on 2024 reappearance; needs a close look.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%David Simcock 14%1238-5No signal9/2 3/1 9/21m6f seemed the best fit last year, including for a win at Yarmouth (good) in June and also when first past the post at this track (firm; demoted after bumping) in July; perhaps in need of the race when last of five on return four weeks ago and he needs a second look back here.
-
413333No signal22/1Consistent AW handicapper and a seven-time winner in that sphere; only 1-9 on turf and appears to have a difficult task off current mark, especially in this grade, returned to this sphere.
-
Barry McHugh 9%969-89No signal66/1 33/1 66/1Remote last of eight at Chester (1m4f, good; 80-1) on British debut 15 days ago
-
Mr P W Mullins 33%S G Carey 14%/2118-No signal4/6 4/5 8/13Point winner was just denied by stablemate Asphalt Cowboy in this race last year when favourite; won a maiden hunter chase here over 3m in March but couldn't cope with the rise in class at Punchestown since; this is easier and stable selected.
-
Mr R James 10%S G Carey 14%2243-1No signal13/2 13/2 6/1A win, four runner-ups and a third to his name from eight point runs, the victory on latest at Stowlin when keeping on well to score by 5l; entitled to respect off the back of that but still has plenty to find to trouble West Of Idaho.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%4No signal12/1 10/1 12/1210,000euros yearling with an attractive pedigree; shaped as though she would improve for the run when fourth of seven at 9-2 on last month's debut at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) and she's one to consider.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%755-1No signal11/2 4/1 11/2Well held in three 7f AW runs late last year but second favourite with the visor enlisted for handicap/seasonal debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) three weeks ago, coming from towards rear to win comfortably in the end; up 7lb and makes turf debut but he has to be in serious calculations.
-
George Bass 12%Jack Channon 15%36743-No signal25/1 16/1 25/1Multiple winner down the years but 2025 figures suggest age may be catching up with him to some degree; hasn't won a domestic race since 2023 and it's an even longer time since he made a successful seasonal debut.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%326-24No signal7/1 6/1 13/2Three-time AW scorer; turf form features two good efforts but she's 0-4 in this sphere and was below par at Doncaster most recently; not the percentage call in this warmer contest.
-
David Probert 13%David Simcock 14%4No signal80/1 40/1 66/1Interesting on pedigree but she showed little when 25-1 in a five-runner novice at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) one month ago.
-
634No signal22/1 20/1 22/1Made debut in February and his three starts have been on AW; improved form when fourth of 13 at 200-1 over 1m at Kempton last month, behind three useful opponents; one to consider on handicap debut.
-
Nicky Henderson 25%—No signal3/1 9/4 11/426,000euros foal, 50,000euros 3yo; third foal; half-brother to point/2m hurdle winner Knock Off Soxs; dam placed twice 9.4f AW (RPR 72), half-sister to smart dual-purpose performer Blue Bajan (won 2m Group 2 on Flat and 2m Swinton Hurdle); trainer 19% in bumpers (five seasons); market check.
-
Hollie Doyle 14%John Berry 10%455-64No signal13/2 6/1 13/2Had 1m4f and 1m6f wins on consecutive starts last summer and she's now 2lb below her last winning mark; following two respectable shows over 1m4f this term, she is one to take seriously on this return to 1m6f.
-
Taryn Langley(5) 10%Adrian Wintle 11%34-687No signal50/1 33/1 40/1Winless since her 2yo days and she's finished down the field at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in her three runs this year; losing run is now up 30 and others are preferred.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Roger Varian 20%2316-No signal28/1Off the mark at the third attempt at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last October and took another step forward when sixth of 19 in Listed race at Newmarket later that month (6f, good; unraced on softer); with a good trainer and she's open to further improvement, but it's very much necessary today.
-
Sean Kirrane 11%Tim Easterby 11%—No signal33/1 20/1 28/1Fourth foal of an unraced half-sister to useful US 1m-1m1f winner Maximova; stable's newcomers usually better for their debut.
-
TBAP J Rothwell 7%30-No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Outran 66-1 odds when third on debut in Clonmel bumper (2m3f, soft); took a backward step next time at Punchestown for all it was a much tougher assignment; hurdles debut. -
William Cox 5%778965No signal7/1 7/1 13/2Better known as a 7f/1m performer but her latest win (last August) was gained over 6f; predictably found 5f too sharp at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March but finished well and wasn't beaten far; back up in trip today and has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck. -
Jack Gilligan 10%Robert Cowell 13%6921-No signal4/1 3/1 7/2Unexposed filly who made all when landing a Catterick maiden (5f, soft; 7-2) last October; that was a very narrow success but she looks on a fair opening mark and should have more to offer as a 3yo; respected on handicap/seasonal debut
-
S/3F4-No signal17/2Point winner who is 0-13 under rules; has some useful hurdles form to his name, with his best effort coming on good ground and over a similar trip to this; on a handy mark for this chase debut if better for a recent hurdles start; check the market for clues.
-
TBA08/16-No signal11/2 9/2 11/2Third reserve; bounced back with a bang when easily winning over C&D off career-low mark on return in March; failed to back that up from 10lb higher at Down Royal. -
Ben Godfrey 11%77P-2No signal5/4 Evs 5/4Shaped okay in bumpers but appeared to go wrong when pulled up in such an event when 11-8 favourite at Taunton in March; made a promising start over hurdles when runner-up at Hexham (2m, good) 20 days ago and should not be far away.
-
Ray Dawson 14%440-30No signal6/1 17/2 11/2Best form at 7f on good/firmer; completed a hat-trick last summer and ran creditably in big field at Newmarket in the first of his two starts this term; chance may depend on the actions of the weather, however.
-
Luke Morris 12%Tom Clover 17%5236-8No signal5/1 10/3 5/1Clearcut winner of a Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) last June; finished close up in three of her four handicaps last season but she reappeared with a 12l defeat at Newmarket (100-30) three weeks ago; that was in a Class 3 after six months off but she needs to bounce back after that disappointing run.
- D
-
Oisin Murphy 22%1140-No signal18/1Won last summer on first two starts (6f, AW/good) before respectable fourth in the Group 2 Lowther at York (6f, good to firm); however, tailed off in Group 3 Firth of Clyde at Ayr (6f, soft) in September and she has something to prove on the forecast slow ground on this reappearance. -
Myla Coppins(5) 17%Tony Carroll 13%152214No signal17/2 17/2 15/2Two AW wins over further this year; fourth over C&D on Friday, finishing 1.25l behind the reopposing Rating; apprentice's claim useful today and he shouldn't be far away. -
Joe Leavy 11%Adrian Wintle 11%4858-7No signal12/1 16/1 11/1Hard to predict and was out the back on his C&D reappearance last month, but he may have needed that run and he won this race (firm) off 3lb higher last year; should get a good pace to aim at and he needs a close look in the market.
-
21222-No signal11/2 7/2 5/1Consistent sort who got off the mark up in distance at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in February and has found one too good on all three occasions since, latest at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained); should be thereabouts.
-
Paul O'Brien 14%Mickey Bowen 16%10047-No signal12/1 FCST 11/1Showed modest form over hurdles and in a chase when trained in France; sold to join this yard for 13,000euros in November; a fascinating runner on his British debut and should be checked in the market.
-
Ethan Tindall 10%Robert Bevis 7%2855-5No signal18/1 14/1 18/1Ran away with a 2m2f handicap here last April; not quite so good since, including when well held back on the Flat at Ripon last month.
-
Gordon Elliott 18%1-No signal5/2 2/1 5/2Won her sole point start at Aghabullogue in January on heavy ground for Patrick Kiely; makes rules debut for this top yard on different ground but should cope as a half-sister to Group 2 Flat scorer Safe Voyage; big player.
-
Charlie Price 12%4PPP4-No signal12/1 12/1 10/1Heavy-ground 2m hurdle winner when with Dan Skelton; changed hands for 1,000gns since being beaten more than 16l in a Stratford seller in March; 2lb lower for chase debut but can only suggest a watching brief at present.
-
Mr S Connor 5%Stuart Crawford 11%0P/5-2No signal17/2 7/1 15/2Has won three over hurdles and fences; ran well at times in defeat in points and hunter chases last season but has to do much better today.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%Joe Tickle 11%49433-No signal12/1 11/1 12/1Promising third in a soft-ground nursery at Thirsk (6f, soft) last September but she was well held here (5f, heavy) in final 2yo run; still lightly raced but she left Richard Hannon for 6,000gns in November and has bit to prove on her stable debut.
-
P6600-No signal33/1Record of 0-9 in points; best of four maiden hurdle runs was on debut at Leopardstown when sixth behind Frankie John; gained a mark of 100 over hurdles which gives him a squeak in this.
-
32290-No signal33/1 25/1 33/1Nine-race maiden who ended last term with two poor shows, with blinkers given a go on final outing; subsequently left Brian Meehan for 15,000gns in October; has a piece of 1m2f form, but below form on his only start on softer than good and non-runner for old yard when the ground was testing.
-
Dougie Costello 10%Tony Carroll 13%0789-1No signal4/1 10/3 7/2Regained the winning thread at Ripon (5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut when 5lb lower and rider took off 7lb; this seems a harder task but he remains well treated on peak form and is a dual winner at Goodwood; enters calculations.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Tina Jackson 11%82112-No signal7/2 11/2 3/1Made all to win the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 6lb lower mark; followed up at Beverley in July and only just denied in his hat-trick bid when last seen 309 days ago; races off the same mark here and there should be more to come this year.
-
Charlie Price 12%46675-No signal33/1 28/1 33/1Won over 1m on the Flat in Ireland in 2024, but Olly Murphy was unable to get a win out of him in five runs over hurdles and two on the Flat; sold for 5,500gns to join new yard last month; best watched on stable debut.
-
David Egan 13%Ian Williams 11%6-8327No signal9/2Ex-French 4yo who is 0-7 for current yard but has two pieces of encouraging form this year, namely placed efforts at Meydan and Newmarket on good ground (perhaps ideally suited by softer); below par last time but otherwise has possibilities.
- E
-
4/635-No signal8/1Dual winner over hurdles but last win was back in October 2023; better could have been expected when fifth of eight at Hereford (2m, good) in March; has dropped to a career-low mark but doesn't appeal for win purposes. -
3/P2P-No signal11/4 9/4 5/2Won a 2m handicap hurdle here (good) in September 2024; pulled up in two of his four starts since but he was runner-up over fences at Hereford (2m, good) on his penultimate run; that form puts him in the picture and this unexposed chaser is not ruled out after another break.
-
Luke Morris 12%James Owen 18%32No signal9/2 11/4 4/1Modest form in a small field at Newmarket (7f, good) in April but second of eight to an impressive red-hot favourite in novice at Kempton (1m3f, AW) three weeks later; similar form to most of these and could improve again.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%2/543-No signal9/2Unlucky second at Glorious Goodwood in 2024 when bidding for a notable 1m2f handicap double; best effort in a truncated 2025 campaign when fourth to Haatem in Listed grade at Royal Ascot; should be thereabouts, provided he's in top form after ten-month layoff.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Gemma Tutty 11%067-1No signal17/2 8/1 17/211-2 when seen in a very new light for handicap/seasonal debut at Redcar (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, coming from rear to win a nine-runner race by nearly 2l going away; 7lb higher but there was plenty of encouragement for 1m2f in that performance; one to consider.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Tom Ward 11%42-718No signal6/1Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when scoring at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he couldn't make an impact at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago; still lightly raced but he needs to resume his progress to defy this mark.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Owen Burrows 22%—No signal5/1£190,000 yearling; third foal; dam 7f/1m winner (including Swedish Listed), half-sister to two French winners out of 1m winner; yard 18% with 2yos last year and she's an interesting newcomer.
-
288/8-No signal16/1 14/1 16/1Well handicapped on old form for David Bridgwater but he returned for new yard after a mammoth absence with a well-held eighth at Stratford (2m2f, good) last month; shaped as though he needed that run but this looks a tough assignment against some improvers and he's probably best watched; cheekpieces (tried once in 2023) are reapplied.
-
Kevin Brogan 12%Olly Murphy 24%4343-No signal6/1 4/1 11/2Showed promise in bumpers (placed on soft; matched that effort on good); 13-2 on last month's hurdles debut at Perth (2m, good) and although below the level of his bumper form (15l third), will doubtless benefit from that experience; player.
-
Ashley Lewis(3) 14%Adrian Wintle 11%331311No signal5/2 4/1 9/4No win in her first 13 starts but she's won three of her last four including at Bath (1m/1m2f) in her last two runs; up 3lb for her narrow success last time but she's open to more progress and is versatile ground-wise; big player back down in trip.
-
Rhys Clutterbuck 11%-03172No signal13/2 11/2 6/117 races, finishing well in a 1m4f classified at Lingfield (AW) in March for her only win; second there off today's mark at same track (2m) last time was her best form under Flat rules and she has some turf form in the bumper and hurdle spheres; not entirely ruled out on Flat turf debut.
-
Mr D G Lavery 12%Gavin Cromwell 11%F-1No signal7/2 3/1 10/3Was coming there to win when falling at the last in Cragmore point in January but made no mistake on first run for Gavin Cromwell when scoring by 1l at Necarne 13 days ago; should give West Of Idaho most to think about.

Theo Gillard 12%Donald McCain 15%28-No signal7/2 4/1 3/15-2 when second on debut in a Ludlow bumper (good) last November; below that level in a Listed event at Cheltenham (good) in January; has since left Alan King and now has his first start for a trainer who is 13% in bumpers over five seasons; market check.

Rob Hornby 11%Andrew Balding 18%—No signal18/1 12/1 16/1Attractively bred newcomer, by Blue Point out of a 6f 2yo winner (on debut; later Group placed; RPR 97) for her owner; interesting, especially if the market speaks positively.

Jack Callan 14%Robert Cowell 13%212125No signal16/1 11/1 16/1Record of 6-17 on AW includes two wins in a consistent 2026 campaign; not disgraced back on turf last time but finished only fifth of six and took record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred.
-
Rowan Scott 12%Katie Scott 10%2412-7No signal14/1 16/1 14/1Ran four times in last year's 2yo campaign and best form came over 6f on soft/heavy ground, with a Group 3 fourth at Ayr and a Listed second at Doncaster; not beaten far when seventh of 14 at 66-1 on reappearance in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good); each-way chance back on slow ground.
-
Ben Jones 17%Ben Pauling 17%21P43-No signal8/1 17/2 8/1Below par when returning to hurdling at Southwell (2m4f, good) in March; has dropped 2lb since finishing fourth at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on his most recent chase start and has claims if able to reproduce the form of that or his Bangor success (2m4f, soft) last November; acts on a sound surface.
-
Hollie Doyle 14%Archie Watson 15%—No signal5/4 Evs 6/582,000gns foal, £180,000 breeze-up 2yo; fourth foal; Mehmas half-brother to 6f/7f winner Thurso (RPR 83); dam 5f winner (including Listed; 95), half-sister to a useful 5f/5.5f winner and out of Italian 5f Listed winner; bred for speed and the stable's 2yos have already made an impact this term.
-
87/UP-No signal10/1 15/2 10/1Yet to get off the mark over hurdles but unseated two out when travelling easily at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March; pulled up at Uttoxeter since but could be dangerous off bottom weight.
-
Mr B O'Neill 12%D M Christie 5%21F21-No signal9/2 7/2 9/2Won for the third time in points at Loughanmore last time, easily, albeit against only two rivals; still respected on rules debut for a yard that does well in these races and looks their first string.

Taryn Langley(5) 10%Adrian Wintle 11%50079-No signal12/1No progress when down the field in six runs in Ireland last season including three sprint handicaps; resumes off a reduced mark but she needs a transformation for new yard; blinkers removed.

Danny Gilligan 12%Ross O'Sullivan 10%34075-No signal17/2 FCST 15/2Second runner for yard; top-rated of these over fences; third on sole point start; 1-13 over hurdles; tailed off on chase bow at Fairyhouse; improved fifth of 16 in Thurles handicap chase (2m2f, soft) in February; should be involved if the ground doesn't deteriorate.
-
Tom Queally 10%27/11-No signal9/4 2/1 9/4Acts on soft; can make the running; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October; soundly beaten over hurdles on latest three outings (in tough races on last two) and unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat, but he can't be comfortably dismissed in this small field.
-
Kevin Stott 15%Mark Rimell 12%878-48No signal25/1 20/1 25/1Eight-race maiden who has not lived up to initial promise; he's now 10lb lower than his opening mark but has not shown enough this term; moves up from 1m and there is stamina in the family. -
Gina Mangan 11%55913-No signal20/1 12/1 20/1Ended last season in good form on AW; has done most of her winning on turf but looks weighted to the hilt on reappearance, being still on a career-high mark; seems unlikely to improve aged eight.
-

-
Billy Loughnane 18%652442No signal9/1 8/1 9/11m2f wins last year at Pontefract (good) in June and Newcastle (AW) in December; pretty reliable and second of 14 at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) on return to turf in March showed again that he should be seriously involved.
-

James Smith 9%A. McCann 8%21456-No signal20/1 14/1 18/1Stays well; gave a stout hurdles performance when scoring over 3m at Galway in October; beaten in excess of 20l in her most recent three races; 90-rated hurdler may struggle over this trip on chase debut.
-
Richie McLernon 13%2887P-No signal22/1 20/1 22/1Runner-up on handicap debut over C&D (good) last July but he's struggled since, including when pulled up on chase debut at Wetherby in March; overall record is now 0-9 and he has plenty to prove after a short break; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Kaiya Fraser 12%Harry Eustace 13%5No signal6/1 13/2 6/1Promise amidst inexperience when fifth of nine on his Kempton debut (6f, AW) 18 days ago; well drawn and could take a big step forward.

-
Clifford Lee 17%K. R. Burke 20%121-00No signal9/1 15/2 9/15-7 in 2yo season, a campaign that culminated with Group 3 win at Chantilly (7f, very soft); the drop back in trip could be a positive but she's been well beaten on both starts this season, most recently in the French 1,000 Guineas; carries a 5lb penalty and a major turnaround is needed.
-
Tom Marquand 16%David Marnane 10%588-45No signal7/2 4/1 7/20-5 and yet to pose a serious threat but he ran fairly well from the front when fifth of 13 in a handicap at the Curragh (1m, soft) last month; he's travelled from Ireland to race today and could be in the shake-up.
-
Max Young 2%6/70No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Showed some ability on his Wolverhampton debut in December 2024 but he's struggled at massive prices in two AW runs (7f/6f) this winter; this unexposed 5yo now goes handicapping but he needs a transformation at this new trip.

Brendan Powell 11%4663-3No signal9/1 8/1 9/1Landed a bumper for Chris Gordon in November 2024; placed at Fontwell twice recently and should be suited by this step up in trip; not out of this.

Bryan Carver 13%4311-2No signal5/2 9/4 5/2C&D winner (good) last summer when 11lb lower and successfully followed up at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good), when 5lb lower; after a successful stint in points, he returned to rules last month equalling his career best when second at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good); up 3lb but likely to remain competitive.

-
John Butler 13%-41201No signal7/2 5/2 7/2Two wins (one for this jockey) and a second since asked to go beyond an extended 1m; has form at shorter but wide draw could put him on the back foot early; one of three runners for John Butler.

-
2552-9No signal12/1 10/1 12/1Beaten a long way on reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, he may have needed the run and he was a close second of five at Redcar (1m, good) last November in his sole nursery; a case can be made on that form.

Cieren Fallon 18%Harry Eustace 13%0415-3No signal6/1 5/1 11/2Unraced on soft/heavy; scored four times on turf last term and may resume his progress with creditable AW reappearance under his belt; combined record of 3-4 at Epsom and Brighton bodes well for this first visit to Goodwood, which is quite similar to those tracks; highly respected.

-
Billy Loughnane 18%624-14No signal6/1 11/2 6/1Big step forward on handicap debut when scoring at Nottingham (1m, good) last month; set a steady pace when trying 1m2f at Goodwood (good) three weeks ago, resulting in a creditable fourth of seven but she clearly needs to build on that.

Jamie Spencer 12%Harry Eustace 13%42-407No signal11/1 15/2 11/1Unlucky second in last year's Britannia at Royal Ascot then caught the eye on reappearance; hasn't exactly lived up to expectations in two starts since but remains of interest assuming this new scenario (steps up from 1m) prompts a positive effect; too soon to give up on him.

Jamie Spencer 12%Robert Cowell 13%00-364No signal4/1 7/2 4/1Acts on any ground; on a losing spell that goes back to Group 3 success two years ago but is on a very attractive mark and his Class 2 form this term includes a couple of respectable efforts; this combination of a drop in grade and assistance of Jamie Spencer (up for first time; regular jockey for the owner) may be the time to catch him.
-
Tom Marquand 16%William Haggas 23%9No signal12/1In top hands and her dam was a Listed winner; she's one to watch in the betting on this second start but she was always behind when 20-1 for last month's debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) and dramatic improvement is needed.
-
Sean Levey 13%Richard Hannon 12%51No signal11/2 4/1 9/2Dark Angel colt; made all at Kempton (6f, AW) to step up on his Newmarket effort (5f); appears to face a stiffer task back on turf but may be capable of further progress.
-
788435No signal22/1 16/1 22/1Just one win from her 32 starts and recent efforts on AW and turf don't suggest she is primed to double her tally; down the list.
-
David Probert 13%Emma Lavelle 18%4321-1No signal13/8 5/4 3/2Scored here in (good to soft) in her final 3yo run and she started this campaign with another brave win over C&D (firm) last month; that took her Bath record to 2-2 and she's remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher; key player.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Adrian Wintle 11%7-5652No signal11/2 9/2 11/2Just one win from 24 starts but that was off 9lb higher at Brighton (5.3f, good) last spring; losing run is up to 13 but he's run some solid races on AW this year including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; seems tactically versatile and he's an interesting contender back in trip after a short break.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Grace Harris 11%512748No signal10/1 11/1 17/2Acts of firm and heavy ground; triple course winner who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in January but he's been quiet there in last three runs; has bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark back on turf.
-
P15P6-No signal28/1 28/1 25/1Narrow winner of a maiden point at Tyrella in February after two failures to complete; tailed off on hunter chase debut at Down Royal; pulled up over C&D next time after bad mistake; distant sixth at Tramore last month.
-
13/P4-No signal14/1 11/1 14/1Dual winner over fences at Doncaster on good; yet to win over hurdles and this is his first run in this sphere since March 2023; possibly better for this race before a summer campaign over fences.
-
Ryan Sexton 12%Julie Camacho 11%0930-0No signal11/1 17/2 9/1Didn't seem beaten entirely by the 7.5f trip at Chester on seasonal debut but is still seeking a first success beyond sprint distances; not exactly guaranteed to take advantage of being 1lb below last winning mark.
-
William Carson 10%Chris Gordon 14%-42342No signal7/2 3/1 10/3Won this race (firm) last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Kempton in the autumn; has remained in good form on AW this year and he chased home an improver at Lingfield (6f) last month; should get a good pace back on turf and he's a big player back at this track.
-
234No signal11/2 7/2 11/2All three starts over 1m on AW; runner-up on debut at Newcastle in February; two backward steps have followed but he could be a contender if tapping back into his initial promise on this handicap/turf debut.
-
Jason Watson 13%Tom Clover 17%8No signal33/1 16/1 28/1Dam useful at 1m2f-1m4f but this daughter was a 1,000gns yearling and finished behind two of these rivals when 12-1 in a maiden at Lingfield (1m2f, AW).
-
David Probert 13%08-770No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Won a C&D maiden (good) as a 2yo but her handicap career has not yet amounted to much and she was well held in three runs during the winter; mark continues to fall but she's now 1-13 and has plenty to prove after a break; cheekpieces removed.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%3413-0No signal16/1 20/1 12/1All five starts on good ground; easily made all in C&D maiden last October on third outing and third of 19 in Listed race at Newmarket (6f, good) a fortnight later; she's much better than she showed on her reappearance at Newbury but was heavily beaten; others arrive with more pressing claims.
-
Sean Levey 13%Emma Lavelle 18%0511-3No signal9/4 2/1 9/4Usually held up; third in a 2yo maiden was his sole run on softer than good; can race freely but showed improved form when upped to 2m for wins at Kempton (AW) and Nottingham (good) in his final two runs last season, and he continued on his upward curve when a close, never-nearer third of seven over C&D (good) three weeks ago; retains potential.
-
Rob Hornby 11%Mike Murphy 12%-31341No signal22/1 16/1 22/1Prevailed in reapplied hood at Southwell (6f) last time, taking AW record to 4-13; needs to prove he can transfer the form back to turf; only 1-10 in this sphere and is 7lb higher than last attempt.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Sophie Leech 12%14709-No signal14/1 16/1 14/1Versatile sort who won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Roger Varian 20%51-No signal5/6 5/4 4/5Showed promise on debut last October and justified 5-6 favouritism in 12-runner novice at Lingfield (again 1m on AW) in December; the latter was in workmanlike style but she's bred more for this trip and is open to further improvement, which is needed.

Richie McLernon 13%Neil Mulholland 15%60-No signal80/1 FCST 66/1Showed minor promise on debut at Taunton (good to soft) but took a backward step on his hurdles debut at Chepstow (2m, good); others preferred.

-
Gavin Cromwell 11%2-No signal3/1 5/2 3/1Just denied on point debut for Sean Doyle at Loughanmore after making most of the running; sold for £70,000 since and makes bumper debut for a top yard; comes from the family of Faugheen; respected.

Charlie Johnston 13%—No signal2/1 11/4 2/160,000gns yearling; 11th foal; Sea The Moon brother to 1m4f Australian Group 1 winner Durston, half-brother to four winners including Cubanita (1m-1m4f including 2yo/Group 3) and Aquarium (7f-1m2f; RPR 109); there's plenty of potential in his pedigree and he could be a contender on debut.
-
Tom Marquand 16%William Haggas 23%2/12-4No signalSPVery lightly raced 5yo who again showed improved form when tackling a (hot) handicap for the first time at Newcastle in January; new trip of 1m4f raises a question but she's a danger to all if seeing it out; holds Irish Group 3 entry over this trip next month.
-
Rhys Clutterbuck 11%Malcolm Saunders 12%0/070-No signal80/1 66/1 80/1Very lightly raced 6yo but he's struggled at big prices in all of his runs including on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in November; now switches to turf but he needs a transformation after six months off.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%Ollie Sangster 14%6-7704No signal9/2 4/1 9/2Sole win was at Dundalk (6f, AW) in November 2024 but he made an encouraging start for new yard when fourth at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) 17 days ago; that was eye-catching from off the pace and has claims if he can build on that back on turf. -

Henry Candy 12%4536-6No signal15/2 11/2 15/2Didn't progress in six 2yo runs for Charlie Hills and was only sixth of ten when favourite on recent stable debut at Windsor (5f, good to firm); may have needed that run but he needs to raise his game back up in trip.
-
52No signal5/2 7/4 5/2Market mover on his Thirsk debut but he needed the experience and could only manage fifth; much better when second of eight here (5f, good) 31 days ago, keeping on well having run green when initially coming off the bridle; 6f should suit and he sets the standard.
-
Millie Wonnacott 11%Daisy Hitchins 10%133432No signal4/1 3/1 4/1All three wins have been on AW but she's been knocking on door here (5f, firm/good) in last two starts; nudged up 2lb but she's been as good as ever in her last two runs and should be in the thick of things again.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Charlie Appleby 33%—No signal5/2 9/4 5/2Third foal; Frankel half-sister to 1m2f/1m4f winner Spirited Style (including Listed); dam 1m/1m2f Group 1 winner; could have a big part to play on debut, especially if strong in the betting; leading trainer also saddles Kempton third Fashion's Fancy.

-
Dylan Johnston 16%Neil Mulholland 15%55404-No signal11/4 7/2 5/2Sole success came in a Fontwell maiden last April; has run with credit on several occasions since and shapes as though this step back up in distance will suit after he got outpaced when fourth at Wincanton (2m5f, good) last month; down to a career-low mark and should not be far away.
