Theo Gillard 12%Donald McCain 15%8532P-No signal5/1 FCST 9/2Without a win since scoring over fences in September 2023 and he was 2-7 favourite on that occasion; however, hasn't had a lot of racing since and produced three fair runs during winter off his lower hurdle mark; last run was a backward step but he's no forlorn hope with cheekpieces added.
-
James Best 9%1/12P-No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Handicap mark took a hit for his drawn-out hat-trick (third win came after 334 days off) and he's now back from another absence after pulling up on final appearance; very much up against it from 8lb out of the handicap.
-
William Buick 25%Charlie Appleby 33%1-5No signal6/1 11/2 5/1By Frankel out of a Prix Saint Alary winner; quickened well for a 4l debut success in Kempton maiden (1m, AW) last November; gave a fine display for one so inexperienced when fifth (third of eight in group) in the 1,000 Guineas; open to improvement; place chance.
-
—No signal18/1 FCST 16/1Sioux Nation filly; 100,000euros yearling; third foal; half-sister to Italian 8.7f 2yo winner Ancient Story; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 75), sister to 1m4f/13.5f winner Moon Daisy, half-sister to 7f 2yo Listed winner Mountain Bear, out of maiden sister to 7f Group 3 winner Ishvana; selected by McMonagle from stable's two debutantes.
-
Alba Chiara17:40 Curragh race 8 of 8W. M. Lordan 16%23012-No signal25/1 22/1 25/1All her best form has been at Down Royal, a win and two seconds; should appreciate better ground, but lacks a run. -
Dylan Kidd 4%09-849No signal33/1 28/1 33/1C&D handicap winner in November and fair fourth here in March; mid-field in Curragh handicap on Sunday. -
Kieran Shoemark 14%Ed Walker 16%31233-No signal11/2Closest to Minnie Hauk on ratings, although that rival has the benefit of race-fitness and a fillies allowance; made all to beat subsequent three-time Group 1 winner Ombudsman at Sandown (1m2f, good) last season but had the benefit of a run; good placed efforts in Group 2s at York (10.5f, good) and Longchamp (1m4f, good to soft); signed off last term with a cracking run to take third in a Group 1 at Ascot on Champions Day (1m2f, good); there is likely more to come to this term from the British raider.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Richard Hughes 15%124-2No signal20/1Did well over 6f last season, scoring by a wide margin at Haydock before second in the Lowther and fourth to True Love in the Cheveley Park; made a pleasing return when beating all bar outsider Azleet in the Nell Gwyn; that was her first attempt at 7f and advertised her chance of staying another furlong.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Olly Murphy 24%73921-No signal9/4 7/4 9/4Classy customer in these colours for Gordon Elliott; only his fourth run for current yard when forcing a dead-heat at Perth (3m, good; 3lb lower) and he's versatile trip-wise; likely contender in new cheekpieces.
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%—No signal28/1 25/1 28/1150,000USD yearling; fourth foal; half-sister to US winners Dream Unified (5f 2yo-1m dirt) and Brie's Mission (1m turf Flat/2m1f hurdle); dam US 8.5f winner, out of 6f 2yo winning half-sister to US Grade 1 winners JB's Thunder (8.5f) and Carpe Diem (8.5f/1m1f); trainer is on a hot streak with juveniles.
-
W. J. Lee 16%631-05No signal9/1Won a 7f Dundalk fillies' maiden last October; failed to make an impact when highly tried on reappearance in a Group 3 race won by True Love; not far off Green Carrera and Prevalence over 7f here in her first handicap.
-
Ask Ernie17:47 Uttoxeter race 7 of 7—No signal14/1 16/1 12/1Closely related to 2m/2m4f hurdle winner Call Me Tara; dam point winner; stable has had occasional success in bumpers in recent seasons from not many runners. - B
-
Ballydisco17:12 Uttoxeter race 6 of 7Stan Sheppard 16%Tom Lacey 19%2473U/No signal4/1 5/1 7/2Dual hurdle winner who is 0-11 over fences but he has the form to feature off this mark if ready to rock on his stable debut after a long absence; the market should be informative. -
Banner Beauty17:05 Curragh race 7 of 8Tom Buckley 6%/1096-No signal28/1 25/1 28/1Won Leopardstown maiden (1m, good) on seasonal/yard debut last May; failed to make a significant impact in two 2025 handicap runs. -
R. P. Whelan 9%Aidan O'Brien 22%3128-8No signal50/1 40/1 50/16f Group 2 winner here last summer and close second to Precise in the Moyglare; well beaten in the Cheveley Park and held by American Queen on Nell Gwyn running.
-
411-92No signal33/1Showed huge improvement to win a 7f Group 3 at this venue last September (soft), involving a reversal of form with Pivotal Attack; loss of a shoe probably damaged her chance on return in Leopardstown Group 3 won by True Love; better judged on recent second to Kensington Lane over C&D; a lot more needed now.
-
Blinded By Grace17:47 Uttoxeter race 7 of 7Sean Bowen 24%Mickey Bowen 16%3-No signal5/2 9/4 2/1Close up on good ground at Worcester in September but that form hasn't worked out too well, while he'll want further in time; however, it's unlikely that this is a strong race. -
1/51-2No signal5/1 5/1 7/2Won her bumper on good ground at Hexham and probably improved again to be second in a maiden hurdle there 22 days ago; this longer trip won't be an issue and she may be the one to give First Candidate something to think about.
-
Blues Emperor17:05 Curragh race 7 of 86-0804No signal10/1 16/1 9/1Five wins for Johnny Murtagh; signs of a return to form when fourth of 17 here on latest; now 10lb below his last winning mark; one for the short list. -
Daire McConville 15%Charlie Longsdon 16%21300-No signal28/1 20/1 22/1Campaigned mostly at about 2m but over this far he ran well for a 125-1 chance to be beaten about 10l in a big-field handicap at the Grand National meeting (under Daire McConville; finished ahead of Sir Galahad); this is not quite so demanding.
-
Boy Aaron17:57 Kelso race 7 of 7Mr A P Ryan 15%A. Slattery 11%—No signal4/7 7/16 9/17Affinisea gelding; dam, point winner, is a half-sister to bumper/2m hurdle winner On The Wild Side, out of useful 2m hurdle winner; interesting newcomer for Irish yard with good record in bumpers. -
Diego Lima 4%Diego Dias 6%3No signal125/1 80/1 100/1Cost 12,000 euros as a yearling; well beaten on debut at Dundalk (5f); this looks ambitious.
-
Henry Oliver 8%1733-No signal22/1 20/1 18/1Bought for £120,000 after winning an Irish mares' maiden point; progressive in bumpers, beaten 3.5l in the latest at Ludlow (good); should benefit from this longer distance now sent over hurdles.
- C
-
Tom Broughton 11%Fergal O'Brien 15%/F136/No signal18/1Last of three wins over hurdles was over 2m4f here (heavy; has also won on good) in July 2023 when she was left clear; confined to only two runs in the meantime and now returns from mammoth absence; likely best watched.
-
Alan King 16%40-No signal22/1 11/1 14/1Never threatened the principals in two bumpers on good to soft but she's well bred and entitled to do better over hurdles.
-
7402-1No signal11/1 12/1 11/1Won twice for Ollie Sangster at two, including a 7f Listed race at Sandown; began and ended last season with good runs in defeat (in the Nell Gwyn and a Listed contest at Saint-Cloud); sprang a surprise when beating stablemate Princess Child in a C&D Group 3 event on Irish debut; further progress is feasible.
-
Ryan Mania 17%Adam Nicol 16%0F0/P-No signal15/2 15/2 7/1Ex-Irish; runner-up in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle on debut (2m1f, yielding to soft) in August 2024; chance on that form but hasn't run as well since; bit to prove on stable debut after 298-day break.
-
Eoghan Finegan 10%P E Collins 16%311P-9No signal12/1 10/1 11/1Irish challenger who has been contesting valuable handicaps back home, bagging one in new cheekpieces at Leopardstown during the festive period (2m4f, good to yielding); back at this trip (had tried 3m), it wasn't a bad run at Punchestown this month when a tongue-tie was added; hard to discount.
-
Ben Coen 11%A. Slattery 11%613-77No signal25/1 25/1 22/1Placed in a nursery after a Listowel maiden win, out of the money in two runs this term; others have stronger claims.
-
Chutzpal17:40 Curragh race 8 of 8W. J. Lee 16%73312-No signal18/1 22/1 18/1Capable under both codes, with dual wins in each; won a Killarney handicap in August and was a distant runner-up at Newmarket in September (8l behind Reverend Hubert); finished seventh in this race last year, and may need this comeback run once again. -
Jack Hogan 11%Alex Hales 12%4143-1No signal2/1 9/4 2/1Kept on well to score at Warwick (3m1f, good) three weeks ago and is now 2-7 over hurdles; that looked a modest race and she's 6lb higher here but at least we know she's in good nick.
-
Jonathan Burke 15%Jamie Snowden 26%6325-1No signal9/4Multiple Flat winner who was contesting only his second handicap over hurdles when winning with the front two clear over C&D (good) three weeks ago; a 6lb rise isn't the end of the world by any means.
-
Come On The Lads17:40 Curragh race 8 of 8G. F. Carroll 10%Gavin Cromwell 11%232/5-No signal22/1 28/1 22/1Dual Flat winner returns to this sphere for the first time since a midfield finish at Laytown in September (7f); must bounce back from a moderate run over fences at Wexford last time. -
Bradley Harris 17%Neil Mulholland 15%—No signal28/1 22/1 25/1Third foal; dam unraced sister to useful bumper/2m4f hurdle winner Tikkanbar; has just a fair standard to reach on debut but probably best watched all the same.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Kevin Frost 10%734-3No signal7/2 4/1 10/3Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move.
-
Cruikshank17:47 Uttoxeter race 7 of 7Nicky Henderson 25%—No signal11/4 3/1 11/452,000euros 3yo; fourth foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Puffin Billy (smart bumper and 2m-3m hurdle/chase), Zuzka (useful bumper and 2m2f-2m5f hurdle) and Tycoon Prince (useful bumper and 2m/2m1f hurdle/chase); nicely bred and in a top yard; market useful. - D
-
657-No signal80/1 66/1 50/1Pretty much tailed off in a soft-ground bumper and two maidens on good; has no form claims.
-
Delta17:40 Curragh race 8 of 8Oisin Murphy 22%/2315-No signal10/1 11/1 10/1Got off the mark in a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden in June having been third in a quality Navan Listed race the time before; heavy ground a possible excuse when disappointing off top weight at Listowel in September; gelded since and he went close on his seasonal return last year. -
Ciaran Gethings 11%Julian Smith 5%5/890-No signal33/1 33/1 28/10-3 in points and failed to raise his modest profile when 50-1 for handicap debut at Bangor (2m7f, good); no appeal for now.
- E
-
Ebchester17:57 Kelso race 7 of 7Susan Corbett 10%—No signal12/1 14/1 12/1Ocovango gelding; twice-raced dam is out of 2m-2m4f hurdle winning sister to useful bumper and 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Ashwell Boy; the market can guide for this debutant. -
W. M. Lordan 16%Aidan O'Brien 22%10-02No signal100/1 FCST 80/1Finished last in two starts following his Dundalk maiden win; much improved effort as a pacemaker to Minnie Hauk at the Curragh last time, when holding onto the runner-up spot; supporting role here once again.
-
David Egan 13%Robson De Aguiar 12%31No signal13/2 5/1 6/1Too keen over 5f here (soft to heavy) on debut when evens favourite, fading into third behind the winner Lars Soldier; made no mistake at Cork last time (5f, soft), powering 5.5l clear of the remainder; pedigree suggests better ground will be fine; the pick of the stable's two runners.
-
A. Slattery 11%43-33No signal12/1Consistent in maidens; third on latest in a 7f Limerick race won by the Aidan O'Brien-trained Signora who was second to good yardstick Signora in a Group 3 race last time; visored for handicap debut.
- F
-
Fern Hill17:12 Uttoxeter race 6 of 7Jack Quinlan 15%Ben Case 11%25423-No signalSP FCST 8/1Two small-field wins around 3m on good in the autumn; lost his way for a while but back on track with competitive efforts in his last two races; unlikely to be far away. -
Kevin Brogan 12%Toby Lawes 19%731-2No signal6/4 18/13 5/4Won on the Flat when based in France and got off the mark over hurdles at third attempt for current stable, at Plumpton (2m, good) last month; ran at least as well when second under penalty here (2m1f, good) 18 days ago; leading contender.
-
Footloose Man16:55 Fontwell race 6 of 7Charlie Price 12%Richard Hobson 17%5512-6No signal4/1 4/1 7/2Dual 2m5f course winner in early part of last season; returned from five-month break with low-key run here 18 days ago but is versatile regarding ground and his current mark is workable; can feature if that recent outing brought him on. -
William Buick 25%Charlie Johnston 13%5561-4No signal20/1 12/1 18/1Twice a Listed winner, notably when beating Hey Boo over this trip at Newmarket on her final start last season; appears well held by Jancis based on a Group 2 clash at the same venue three weeks ago.
-
Paul O'Brien 14%Nicky Henderson 25%132P5-No signal5/1 FCST 4/1Won Uttoxeter novice (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut a year ago; faced tough task when pulled up on handicap debut in March but was shade disappointing when only fifth of seven in calmer waters at Perth (2m4f, good) last month; remains lightly raced but needs to up her game.
- G
-
Richie McLernon 13%Neil Mulholland 15%6634-2No signal2/1 FCST 32/170-7 over fences but ran big race in defeat and finished ahead of Friends Don't Ask when second over C&D (good) 18 days ago, looking likely winner until collared on run-in; gets another chance off same mark today; respected.
-
Ewan Whillans 11%8458-6No signal11/1 9/1 10/10-7; sound run when sixth over C&D last time (good) but has a bit to find with a couple of these on that form; may improve with cheekpieces now tried.
-
Bradley Harris 17%Neil Mulholland 15%1/P84-No signal18/1 14/1 12/1Absent for nearly 800 days after winning bumper debut for another stable in 2023 and did not show much in three maiden/novice hurdles (1m7f-2m) for Neil Mulholland last season; has tongue-tie fitted for this handicap debut, though, and remains unexposed; watch the betting.
-
Glad To Be Alive17:30 Fontwell race 7 of 7—No signal5/2Third foal; half-sister to stable's fair hurdle/chase winner The Dream Goes On; dam 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to bumper/jumps Charlie's Vic; stable has bumper winners; no surprise if she features. -
Ben Jones 17%Faye Bramley 15%1PPPP-No signal11/1 9/1 11/1Made all in major handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f) in December but hasn't completed any of his four subsequent races, the latest after wind surgery (and in a new visor); cheekpieces return and an easy lead would help matters; tailed off in this last year.
-
Gorcombe Moonshine16:55 Fontwell race 6 of 7Harry Kimber 12%36225-No signal5/1 6/1 5/1Gave very good account when close second over C&D (good to soft) last month and subsequent fifth of 12 over C&D (good) was perfectly respectable but his overall strike-rate is just 1-35 and others appeal more. -
Bruce Lynn 3%N. W. Alexander 10%8/7PP-No signal66/1 40/1 50/1Irish point winner in May 2024 (3m, good); mainly disappointing over hurdles, particularly last season when back after wind surgery; visor now tried.
-
Gozo17:22 Kelso race 6 of 7William Maggs(3) 10%Andrew Hamilton 15%1/PP-No signal33/1 40/1 28/1A fair hurdles winner (also fair on Flat) for Ben Brookhouse; pulled up on his first two runs for current yard at Catterick and here this year though and he also came in last of eight on the Flat for R Mike Smith three weeks ago; very hard to warm to. -
Grand Clermont17:12 Uttoxeter race 6 of 7Rian Corcoran 15%David Pipe 16%7211-6No signal14/1 10/1 12/1Ex-French where all his winning was on heavy ground; weak in the betting ahead of British debut here (2m5f, good) and ended up tailed off. -
Granite Bay17:40 Curragh race 8 of 8R. P. Whelan 9%2242-4No signalSP FCST 16/1Showed good form in 2024 with a trio of wins from 1m2f-1m6f and runner-up in three of last four starts last term; made a positive return to action at Gowran (1m4f, soft) last time when a close fourth (neck behind Whimsy); chance. -
Ryan Moore 24%Aidan O'Brien 22%1No signal8/13 7/16 4/7Mentioned positively by his trainer at a press event launching the Flat season, he didn't let him down when impressively winning over C&D last month (6f, soft, 4-9); ran greenly that day, so still room for improvement; breeding suggests better ground will cause no issues.
-
Grecian Power17:05 Curragh race 7 of 8G. F. Carroll 10%Edward Lynam 11%38-6No signal22/1 10/1 22/1Outran 33-1 odds on belated debut in a 7f maiden here last July, missing the break and staying on nicely for third in a 21-runner contest; has failed to build on that in two subsequent starts; potentially interesting with a tongue-tie fitted for handicap debut. -
Greek Flower17:05 Curragh race 7 of 8R. P. Whelan 9%John James Feane 10%065-36No signalSP FCST 15/2On a long losing streak (since October 2023) but shaped well on several occasions, including on seasonal debut at Leopardstown; less encouraging run at Gowran a month ago. -
614-2No signal4/1Thurles maiden winner last season over 1m; final run at two was a Listed race at Pontefract; ran on strongly for second over 7f at this track on handicap debut; closely matched with Prevalence, with the pair both likely to improve.
-
J M Sheridan 11%—No signal40/1 28/1 33/155,000euros yearling; second foal; half-sister to US 1m turf 2yo winner Amberglen; dam 1m/1m2f AW winner (inc 2yo; RPR 98), sister to winners Sea Tsarina (7f/1m), Sea Regal (1m2f) and Red Line Alexander (9.4f), out of 8.6f winner; McMonagle rides Akari.
-
Shane Foley 11%6164-4No signal40/1 28/1 33/1Beat the top-class Delacroix in a Leopardstown Group 2 as a 2yo (1m, good); sixth in the 2,000 Guineas before making all in a Leopardstown Listed race in June (1m1f, good); respectable efforts in the Irish Derby here (1m4f, good) and in a York Group 2 (10.5f, good); shaped as though he would improve over his return in a Group 3 here last time when fading into fourth (1m2f, soft); a good bit to find with the top ones here all the same.
-
Gavin Sheehan 23%Emma Lavelle 18%584-No signal20/1 20/1 16/1Displayed promise in two bumpers in the autumn but was remote when fourth here (2m5f, good to soft) on last month's hurdle debut and needs to take a big step forward today.
-
Jonathan Burke 15%/4476-No signal12/1Smart at his best for Olly Murphy but last season never got off the ground and he's moved yards.
- H
-
Richie McLernon 13%Nick Scholfield 14%6891-4No signal13/2 6/1 13/2Low-mileage 6yo who displayed significant improvement when winning on handicap debut for David Pipe at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February; raced too freely and was disappointing favourite for new stable at Fakenham this month but remains of interest.
-
Freddie Gingell 22%Joe Tizzard 13%52233-No signal9/4 7/4 2/1Made the frame on final four starts last season, most recently when third of 12 here (2m3f, good) one month ago; remains on a workable mark but has stamina to prove over this much longer trip.
-
Oakley Brown 15%Dianne Sayer 15%64P97-No signal15/2 6/1 7/1Won twice here in 2025 (2m/2m5f; good/good to soft) but hasn't run up to form on his last three starts, last time over 2m6f; others stronger.
-
Jack Cleary 8%Aidan O'Brien 22%—No signal20/1 14/1 16/1Wootton Bassett filly; sister to 7f 2yo/11.6f Listed winner Cameo (RPR 105), half-sister to 7f 2yo/1m4f Listed winner Portland (106); dam Group-placed 1m 2yo winner (103), half-sister to 6.5f Group 1 winner Garswood; Moore rides Sun Goddess.
-
/F40-3No signal11/1 15/2 11/10-8 over hurdles; sound run from the front when third to a pair of dead-heaters over C&D last time (good); one with a chance.
-
George Bass 12%Jack Channon 15%12892-No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Last season's Fred Darling runner-up; ended the campaign with a Newmarket second behind Francophone; lacks a recent outing and faces a stiff task in the circumstances.
-
Bryan Carver 13%Alex Hales 12%5/831-No signal11/4Back in prime form when winning from the front here (2m3f, good) last month and now 2-10 over hurdles; recent 3lb rise certainly doesn't look excessive, and he ought to be right in the thick of things again.
-
Highwind17:40 Curragh race 8 of 8Chris Hayes 9%W. P. Mullins 26%/0/84-No signal28/1 22/1 28/1Dual-purpose sort's sole Flat win came on the AW; best run on turf was a 2l fourth off 1lb lower on latest in the Ulster Cesarewitch at Down Royal (2m3f, good); may need this after 261 days away; cheekpieces go on. -
Clifford Lee 17%K. R. Burke 20%11-No signal28/1 28/1 25/1Backed up debut win at Beverley when scoring a narrow success in a 7f Listed race at Sandown last July; form boosted this season by the second Jennifer Jane, a wide-margin winner of Newmarket's Pretty Polly; pedigree implies she can get the trip.
- I
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%1No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Saw off the closing Otherworldly on C&D debut (good); entitled to improve on that, but stable's number one is Edward Thatch.
-
Ip Up17:22 Kelso race 6 of 7Sean Quinlan 15%Jedd O'Keeffe 14%33225-No signal4/1 9/2 4/1On a long losing sequence but she arrives in good nick, ridden aggressively when fifth in 2m Warwick handicap in March; she can make her presence felt after a break. - J
-
Caoilin Quinn 16%08P4-2No signal13/2 17/2 6/10-5 over hurdles but posted good effort when keeping-on second here (2m3f, good) this month and has plenty of scope to build on that performance; no surprise if he features.
-
Sean Levey 13%W. McCreery 9%5462-1No signal9/4 32/17 2/1Smart form in winning her first two races at three; failed to add to her tally last season; posted a career-best to win a 1m1f Group 2 event at Newmarket three weeks ago; has the beating of Francophone on that running; strong contender if she can replicate that form on slower ground; seems ideally suited by a quick surface.
-
Harry Cobden 22%Chris Gordon 14%4U807-No signal10/3 7/2 10/3Generally disappointing in handicaps since winning 2m maiden just under a year ago but Harry Cobden is an interesting jockey booking for this first venture beyond about 2m5f; worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
-
Sara Bradstock 20%33137-No signal11/2 9/2 5/1Rallied well to open account at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer and was placed off today's mark on next outing; not yet fully exposed but absent since disappointing run in October.

-
Kayce Dutton17:12 Uttoxeter race 6 of 731P52-No signal10/1 FCST 9/1Both wins over fences have been at Market Rasen (2m5f/3m); struggles with his consistency but if on a going day in first-time blinkers then he's not handicapped out of it. -
Tom Bellamy 16%P/F21-No signal2/1 31/19 2/1Low-mileage 7yo who looked better than ever (in first-time cheekpieces) when readily making all in five-runner handicap at Chepstow (2m) 30 days ago; hiked up 9lb but still not taken lightly with headgear retained.
-
219-71No signal40/1 25/1 33/1Flopped in a Group 3 race won by Black Caviar Gold on final start of a six-race juvenile campaign; finished in front of that below-par rival on reappearance; again had the better of the exchange when beating her in the Athasi Stakes over C&D; up against it here.
-
Kentford Legacy17:30 Fontwell race 7 of 7Seamus Mullins 11%—No signal20/1 18/1 20/112th foal; half-sister to five winners including Kentford Grey Lady (bumper/useful jumps), Swallowshide (hurdle) and Water Wagtail (chase); dam hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful chaser The Land Agent; stable has occasional bumper winners; market helpful. -
Danny McMenamin 16%Adrian Keatley 15%39/23-No signal10/3Very useful dual-purpose performer; runner-up in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen last summer and arrives on the back of a good effort on the Flat at Newmarket three weeks ago; very much one to consider back in this sphere.
-
Kilmeaden17:40 Curragh race 8 of 84102-7No signal12/1 16/1 11/1Winner of a Galway festival handicap off 82 in July (1m5f, yielding), beating a subsequent Group 3 winner; added a hurdles win in a Punchestown maiden in January (2m, soft to heavy); never on terms on return to the Flat at Cork last time when seventh. -

4/B56-No signal7/1 13/2 7/1Dual hurdle winner on slow ground; safely held on chasing debut in November and well beaten when back over hurdles in February; back from another three-month break with cheekpieces refitted; others have much less to prove.

16276-No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Battled well for narrow win off today's mark at Hereford (3m1f, good; wore cheekpieces) in the autumn but was given break after disappointing effort in December and again ran poorly when reappearing (without cheekpieces) last month; the cheekpieces are missing again here; stablemate Prince Cleni has much stronger claims.

Danny McMenamin 16%Chris Grant 8%2142-4No signal11/11-21 over hurdles, her win coming at Catterick in February; creditable efforts on all three runs since, including when second over C&D last month (good); sound run at Perth last time (2m5f, good); chance.

Jedd O'Keeffe 14%657PP-No signal7/1 17/2 13/2Ran quite well to be fourth in this last year when 7lb higher; however, he hasn't won since 2023 and the questions are mounting up.

Richie McLernon 13%/3855-No signal8/1 FCST 13/2Belied 66-1 odds and made quite promising hurdle debut when keeping-on fifth over C&D (soft) in January but was well beaten when upped to 2m7f at Uttoxeter (good to soft) in March and it's hard to know what to expect from him here.

Richie McLernon 13%Faye Bramley 15%40-5No signal33/1 18/1 28/1Well beaten on both Flat starts for this stable in the autumn and showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden hurdles this spring; may fair better now handicapping but others have more obvious claims.
