-
Ryan Kavanagh 11%Ian Williams 11%79-506No signal12/1 20/1 12/1Has had few chances but little to show for four handicap runs on AW at 1m1f-1m6f; has dropped 13lb in that time but still not very tempting despite the possibility that the return to turf will suit.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%Stuart Williams 13%6-93No signal10/1 10/1 9/1Thrice-raced filly who has meagre AW RPRs over shorter but may improve for this new scenario on handicap debut.
-
I. J. Power 9%Philip Kirby 8%FP699-No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Didn't run badly in a low-grade Flat marathon last month but he ended the last jumps season with two disappointing runs (both 2m4f) and has a bit more to prove than some of these.
-
Harry Davies 13%William Haggas 23%7No signal5/1 11/2 9/26l seventh of nine at 15-2 on this month's debut at Goodwood (1m, good), where he wore a tongue-tie (retained); however, his pedigree suggests the step up in trip will suit and he could be a big improver for his top yard.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%Marco Botti 16%-44100No signal14/1 14/1 12/1Has posted two duck eggs since most recent AW success and latest effort took his turf form figures to 370; not particularly solid kept to this sphere and others are preferred.
-
Nick Scholfield 14%5758-5No signal7/2Hasn't been looking a winner waiting to happen and was behind The Wise Traveller two runs back; opposable right now.
-
Luke Morris 12%-39534No signal9/1 7/1 8/1Came close to a first win when involved in a tight finish on Lingfield AW (1m2f; first-time cheekpieces, now blinkered) in January; creditable show over 1m4f on this track in April but lesser effort returned to 1m2f since; reservations for win purposes.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%11507-No signal14/1 14/1 12/1Both 2yo wins at 6f on good to firm; had some surface and trip queries subsequently and gelded since; lacks a recent run but conditions will suit on reappearance.
-
TBAPeter Fahey 11%UP445-No signal25/1Third reserve; four-time hurdle winner (rated 130); maiden after 10 chase starts and has had jumping issues, but was second off this mark in Connacht National (3m1f) at Roscommon last summer; after a couple of spins in points, only beaten 7l in Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown when he was a huge price.
-
—No signal40/1Affinisea gelding is first foal of modest racemare, half-sister to useful winners G K Chesterton (1m/8.5f) and Submariner (1m1f-1m4f), out of 10.5f Group 3 winner; the 'Shark' rarely wins bumpers.
-
Adam Kirby 12%677857No signal25/1 22/1 25/1Not solid on her AW form for Jamie Osborne; sold for 2,500gns since last run; first-time tongue-tie and new sphere need to help.
-
Freddie Keighley 12%Martin Keighley 14%F5P1-FNo signal10/11Only 3lb higher than for her narrow C&D win on good ground in March and was odds-on favourite for her return to fences 18 days ago only to depart mid-race; she's probably the one to beat; usual cheekpieces are replaced by an eyeshield.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%821-No signal15/8 FCST 32/17Absent and gelded since neck success in C&D maiden (good to firm) last June; his form has substance and further improvement is plausible; interesting on handicap/seasonal debut.
-
Dale Swift 8%Seb Spencer 8%075-98No signal9/2 10/3 4/1Won the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 6lb higher mark; not come close to matching that form in seven runs since but this spring's two efforts have come over 5f and this will be more suitable; 2-2 at Redcar and a full revival could be imminent.
-
Henry Candy 12%—No signal16/1 FCST 14/110,000gns yearling; eighth foal; Ardad half-sister to 6f AW winner Twilighting (RPR 65); dam 5f/6f winner (82) from family her trainer has done very well with; check the betting but may be one for further down the line.
-
Donagh Meyler 11%Ross O'Sullivan 10%215/F-No signal150/1 80/1 150/1Point-to-point winner; sole start under rules a modest fifth in a Cork maiden hunter chase in April 2025; fell on return from a break in Belcare point-to-point in March; yard form a plus but others preferred.
-
Faleh Bughenaim 15%Hamad Al Jehani 20%613-24No signal5/2 2/1 5/2Dead-heated in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford last October; three solid efforts have followed and he should appreciate returning to 6f; drying ground no problem and he's high on the list.
-
Richie McLernon 13%Ben Haslam 14%42336-No signal7/1 13/2 7/1Getting long in the tooth now and was well beaten on latest outing in March but has a C&D win on his CV and is well handicapped on form as recent as the autumn; cannot be ruled out.
-
James Owen 18%262-23No signal7/2 FCST 10/3Record is only 1-12 and most of his form is over middle distances; however, looks a possible danger at this level provided he's suited by returning to 1m for first time since debut.
-
Joe Leavy 11%David Menuisier 13%0-6No signal20/1 18/1 16/1Ran respectably when sixth of six, beaten just over 9l, in warm maiden over C&D (good to firm) last month on his second start; could take another step forward today and he has an each-way chance.
-
86-7No signal150/1 FCST 125/1Safely held in both bumpers last season and struggled when a big-priced outsider for recent hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good).
- B
-
Mr D G Lavery 12%Gavin Cromwell 11%0-No signal6/1 5/1 11/2Cost E200,000 as 3yo; half-brother to winners Santini (top-class 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase), Dusky Legend (bumper/useful 2m hurdle) and Rockpoint (useful 3m hurdle); dam 1m4f Flat/2m hurdle winner; weakened tamely in valuable Punchestown bumper last month, but was only 8-1 for that; tongue-tie might help.
-
Philip Byrnes 12%William Durkan 13%4037-3No signal8/1Any horse in these colours worth a second look here, and one presumes this has been the plan; useful Flat and hurdles performer and won 2m6f hurdle on this card in 2024; held in novice company last year after winning on chase debut at Down Royal; third over inadequate 2m on handicap debut at Wexford; better for that run and ground and trip to suit, albeit he's up in grade a good bit.
-
Sean Kirrane 11%Alan Brown 9%5880-0No signal33/1Ran a couple of fair races over this trip on fast ground for Gemma Tutty last season; below par on the AW later in the season and was bought for 4,500gns in October and then gelded; well beaten on stable debut but should improve for the run.
-
F8741-No signal9/4 32/17 9/4Showed benefit of wind op when scoring at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) last month, in his second handicap; upped in trip again here and has plenty of scope for further improvement; likely contender.
-
—No signal28/1 25/1 28/1Choeur Du Nord gelding; E38,000 3yo; brother to French 2m2f hurdle winner Kianna, half-brother to French 2m/2m3f hurdle winner Koregaon Park; unraced dam; yard in sparkling form; check the market.
-
Charles Bishop 10%843-4No signal10/1 9/1 10/1Ties in with Takeitorleaveit on Bath reappearance form (beaten only 2l; handicap debut) and may build on that effort; not dismissed.
-
Oisin McSweeney 10%Roger Fell 12%—No signal12/1 14/1 10/116,000gns yearling; first foal of an unraced half-sister to 1m2f winner Dunes King from the family of 2,000 Guineas winner Galileo Gold; first 2yo runner of the year for the stable; likely best watched.
-
1P0P7-No signal15/2 FCST 7/1Two-time winner over hurdles; won easily off 9lb lower at Fairyhouse in November (20.5f, yld-sft); ran better than the bare result off this mark at Punchestown latest (raced wide); best form on soft, however, so could do with plenty of rain.
-
Connor Beasley 13%James Tate 19%—No signal9/2 7/2 4/1May 17 foal; by A'Ali; dam an unraced half-sister to some smart performers, notably Abbaye winner Mabs Cross; only just turned two but she is bred to be useful; stable 0-8 with juveniles this year.
-
Jason Hart 14%Ivan Furtado 10%—No signal12/1 FCST 11/118,000gns yearling by A'Ali; second foal of a 6f 2yo winner (RPR 81), herself a sister to 1m 2yo Group 2 winner Polly Pot; stable not known for 2yo success but they did have a newcomer go desperately close at Wolverhampton this month.
-
J J Slevin 13%W. P. Mullins 26%P0P1P-No signal4/1 11/2 10/3146-rated chaser; decent strike rate of 3-6 over hurdles; won on testing ground at Tipperary (2m7f, sft-hvy) on penultimate but pulled up in Fairyhouse Grade 2 on latest (2m4f, yld-sft); acts on better ground but this trip may be on the sharp side; place shout.
-
George Wood 11%Adrian Wintle 11%16895-No signal20/1 16/1 20/1Sole win (from 13 attempts) came off this mark at Chepstow (7f, soft) last September; however, unable to match that form on her next four starts last season and she returns from a break minus cheekpieces.
-
7/P7P-No signal200/1 150/1 200/10-7 over hurdles and rated 100; stopped quickly when pulled up on chasing debut at Kilbeggan on first run for 267 days; watching brief advised for now.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%Rod Millman 13%47-U04No signal14/1 10/1 14/17f novice winner for previous yard; resurgent over 6f at Windsor (third start for new yard) most recently, while shaping as if this step back up in trip will suit; could go well off a reduced mark.
-
Rhys Elliott 7%Michael Dods 12%374-05No signal9/1 9/1 17/2Her best 2yo run came here (6f, good to firm) and she didn't run badly back here over 6f 18 days ago; quick enough for 5f but she is up in grade and out of the handicap today.
-
Jason Hart 14%Ivan Furtado 10%559890No signal8/1 7/1 8/1Very useful juvenile/3yo for Roger Varian; hasn't progressed and plenty to prove after some modest efforts this year, including back on turf at Thirsk last time (6f, good).
-
Oisin Orr 14%Saeed bin Suroor 20%—No signal8/1 13/2 8/1Fourth foal; sister to 7f AW winner Owl Island (RPR 91) and half-sister to winners Ribble Radiant (7.4f; 71) and Mixed Berries (Japanese 6f/7f); dam unraced half-sister to dual 6f Group 1 winner Harry Angel (by Dark Angel); takes on males for her first race but nicely bred and needs checking in the betting.
-
Edward Greatrex 14%Ollie Sangster 14%0-5855No signal18/1 FCST 16/1Seven-race maiden who has failed to progress on AW; chance depends on the effects of this switch to turf.
-
Harry Davies 13%Hughie Morrison 12%05No signal11/1 18/1 9/150-1 for both starts but she showed promise at Kempton (6f, AW) three weeks ago on her second start, when she travelled nicely and was hampered before keeping on for fifth of 11, beaten just over 8l; interesting.
- C
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Archie Watson 15%—No signal5/2 31/19 5/2Sold privately for £50,000 after the Goffs Breeze Ups last month; first foal of a maiden half-sister to Middle Park winner Supremacy; stable's 2yos have made a good start to the campaign and she's of obvious interest on paper.
-
Joshua Thompson 12%Micky Hammond 10%4600P-No signal15/2 11/1 7/1Won Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) just over a year ago but has looked out of sorts in handicaps over a wide range of trips this year.
-
Danny McMenamin 16%Nicky Richards 17%/3323-No signal4/1 3/1 4/1Made the frame in four consecutive maiden hurdles (1m7f-2m3f) towards the end of last year but didn't appear to be making any progress and her form isn't anything to get too excited about; returns from five-month break with improvement required.
-
4456-5No signal5/1 11/2 5/1His losing run goes back to July 2024 but he's 4lb lower than when a respectable fourth over C&D (good) last September and could build on last month's fifth at Nottingham; not discounted; non-runner 5:18 Redcar yesterday. -
James Davies 8%/14P5-No signal4/1Won this last year off a 5lb lower mark and he was returning from 192 days off that day, so a break might well have done him good.
-
Keith Donoghue 13%J P Dempsey 11%162P4-No signal16/1Won a couple of Fairyhouse chases last year (2m5f/3m) and handles goodish ground; last month's hurdling fourth probably a prep for this; can race close to the pace.
-
Barry McHugh 9%Peter Niven 14%08No signal125/1 80/1 125/1Down the field in 7f/1m races and was huge odds on both occasions; zero appeal here.
-
Brian Hayes 10%32114-No signal16/1 14/1 16/1Better chaser than hurdler; couple of wins over 2m6f last summer, but much stiffer task here after a layoff and O'Keeffe prefers yard's other runner.
-
02243-No signal9/1 8/1 9/12-14 over hurdles; is 10lb above last win but has hit the frame in each of his last four runs; beaten just 2.75l at Limerick latest (21.5f, soft); new visor could eke out more, but he would prefer softer ground.
-
—No signal150/1Homebred Policy Maker gelding; dam 2m2f hurdle winner, sister to 2m chase/2m4f hurdle winner Native House, out of bumper winner; likely best watched on debut.
-
Alan O'Sullivan 10%Paul Nolan 10%24F52-No signal10/1Basically a bridle horse who doesn't find much when let down, but plenty of strong form and couldn't knock his latest second to an improver at Punchestown where he pulled clear of the rest (2m4f, yielding); doubt he wants this far, but easy track will help and valuable 7lb claimed.
-
88No signal50/1 40/1 50/1Down the field at big odds this spring on first two starts (1m, good); the first-time hood could help her settle but she has lots to find.
-
Conor O'Farrell 12%Micky Hammond 10%5U122-No signal4/5 Evs 4/5Won four-runner race by 19l at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) in February and showed better form when second in competitive races on final two starts last season (2m, good to soft/good); could still be on a good mark after latest 2lb nudge; must be considered.
-
Jack Dace 10%Peter Winks 9%440-05No signal33/1 FCST 28/1A 7f AW winner as a 2yo but just minor form in handicaps at 6f to 1m6f for this yard since April 2025; others are much higher up the list.
-
782/U-No signal25/1 16/1 25/1Has a couple of seconds to her name but there's no real substance to her form; others preferred.
-
Georgia Dobie 10%Dan Horsford 16%70-No signal125/1She didn't show enough on her two 2yo starts to suggest she'll be making an impact this afternoon.
- D
-
Paul Townend 38%W. P. Mullins 26%35292/No signal4/5 FCST 8/11Grade 3 and Listed winner over hurdles and rated 152; last sighted finishing well beaten in Southwell Flat maiden won by Constitution Hill; not seen over timber since Sussex Champion Hurdle second at Plumpton in April 2025; best treated by race conditions and the one to beat; cheekpieces on.
-
Callum Rodriguez 20%Edward Bethell 17%/3119-No signal13/2 7/1 6/1Went back-to-back at Hamilton last season (1m1f, good; maiden/handicap) and unlikely that he gave his true running when a beaten favourite at York in September (1m2f); held a Cambridgeshire entry back then and he retains plenty of potential as a 4yo, especially at this trip (dam stayed well).
-
Harry Cobden 22%W. P. Mullins 26%10500-No signal9/2 4/1 9/2Looked a hot prospect when winning his first three starts last summer but progress has stalled; heavy defeats on last four runs over timber, though testing ground probably not ideal for three of them; return to sounder surface a plus, so can't totally discount for top yard.
-
Keith Donoghue 13%Ross O'Sullivan 10%34322-No signal11/10 Evs 11/10Pulled up in both point-to-points; placed in four of five starts over hurdles and rated 117; fine second over 19.5f (yielding) in valuable auction series final hurdle at Punchestown latest; ground versatile and this longer trip should suit; big player.
-
Ryan Sexton 12%Julie Camacho 11%9-7R65No signal11/1 12/1 10/1AW wins at 1m and 1m2f and he's 0-8 on turf; refused to race on second run back from an absence and, following his fading fifth at Redcar (1m2f) recently, a further drop in the weights could be in order; at least this is a drop in grade, though.
-
Rowan Scott 12%David Loughnane 12%1457-5No signal5/1Won 6f debut at Ayr as 2yo but highly tried and found wanting for the rest of 2025; however, he did well to be a close fifth of 12 on his handicap debut at Chester (6f, good) this month, considering he was drawn high and raced wide for much of the way; thereabouts off the same mark.
-
07133-No signal11/2 5/1 11/2Had some good form last spring and same again this time around; hurdles winner in March, third to Supreme Jet at Wexford and good third of 20 to exciting stablemate in 2m handicap at Punchestown festival; doesn't win often, though.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%-04406No signal28/1 22/1 25/1Six-race maiden who has broadly inconsistent AW form; chance depends on the effects of switching to turf.
-
Mark Winn 12%Liam Bailey 9%599356No signal18/1 12/1 18/1Looked to be coming to the boil when third at Southwell last month but two subsequent turf efforts have been blighted by slow starts; on a dangerous mark but he goes without any accessories and needs to get it right at the stalls.
-
60037-No signal17/2 FCST 8/1Bled in this last year; good form in first two starts for this yard at Killarney in the summer and creditable third of 17 in valuable 2m4f veterans' contest at Haydock last month; chance on that form.
-
Daniel King 10%1895U-No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Three times a hurdles winner here and excellent second to well-treated winner in last year's renewal; lost form after but regained it in November when winning Listed handicap at Fairyhouse; below-par since then; back from a break and, given his track record, has to be respected.
-
Rhys Elliott 7%498-75No signal8/1 15/2 8/1C&D winner in a first-time visor off this mark last July (good to soft, but goes on this faster ground); fair fifth over 6f here last time when visor was back on; each-way chance.
-
Leah Noreci 7%James Moffatt 13%122-06No signal6/1 11/2 6/1After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred.
- E
-
Darragh Keenan 10%Conrad Allen 14%206306No signal14/1 11/1 14/1Short-headed at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January and runs off 6lb lower here, but below best more recently and has to turn things around.
-
Cam Hardie 6%John Wainwright 11%-66558No signal20/1 10/1 18/1Fair run when fifth over C&D last time but has a bit to find with a couple of these rivals
-
4451-No signal12/1 9/1 12/1Made progress as a 2yo, winning the latest of four attempts, over 6f on Wolverhampton AW; that was last August, though, and no blame attached if he needs the run on his handicap debut.
-
Stan Sheppard 16%Tom Lacey 19%2/755-No signal5/6 5/4 8/13Didn't last long with Nicky Henderson but showed a good bit of ability; comfortably held in three runs for an Irish yard, including 2m4f/2m6f handicaps; now with Tom Lacey and if he can get him back to the form he was showing for Henderson, then a race of this nature should be within his capabilities.
-
Sean Quinlan 15%7076-1No signal5/2 4/1 9/4Won the 2m6f handicap on this card 12 months ago and returned to form with a 2l success over that same trip on Monday (following a wind operation); did that comfortably and must have every chance under a penalty.
-
13-738No signal5/1 11/2 5/1Only win was off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last September; creditable third at Thirsk last month (7f, good) but bit disappointing last time at Doncaster (7f, good to firm).
-
Alan O'Sullivan 10%00-No signal250/1 125/1 200/1Heavy defeats at huge odds both starts over hurdles; similar story in three Flat runs; cheekpieces go on; hard to fancy.
- F
-
Luke Morris 12%Archie Watson 15%—No signal15/2 11/2 15/230,000gns yearling; seventh foal; closely related to 9.5f-1m4f winner Don Diego De Vega (including Australian Listed), half-brother to winners Al Mudhaffar (1m AW; RPR 86) and Nuwaies (French 9.5f 2yo); dam French 1m/1m1f winner (including Listed); in good hands; market check advised on debut.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Mickey Bowen 16%123P-4No signal5/2 FCST 9/410-28 over fences, including three 3m1f course wins; below form at Ffos Las this month, after a break, but is back on a good mark and this marathon trip will suit; must be considered.
-
Mark Walsh 21%E Bolger 13%34602-No signal10/1 17/2 10/1Four-time Grade 1 winner back in the day, but not the same force nowadays; has been running in cross-country chases lately, sixth at Cheltenham and second over 3m at Punchestown; trainer is a wizard with these types, but unlikely to feature all the same.
-
A. McCann 8%—No signal12/1 FCST 11/1Cost only 2,600gns as 3yo; second foal; half-brother to Greek/Polish 5f/6f winner Mollys Pride; dam 6f/7f maiden (RPR 68), half-sister to 5f winner Rat Catcher, out of 6f winner; yard 11-94 in bumpers last five seasons.
-
Ross Coakley 10%Hugo Palmer 13%9487-No signal14/1 16/1 14/1Not particularly solid on 2yo form and ran below market expectations on final outing (handicap debut); makes reappearance.
-
Sean Flanagan 10%Barry Connell 12%11P/7-No signal13/2 6/1 13/2Only had 10 starts, four of them over fences; after a year off, was 20l behind Supreme Jet at Wexford; capable type, though, and chase mark is 7lb lower than hurdles perch, so not dismissed.
-
David Egan 13%321-21No signal7/2 10/3 7/2Lightly raced 4yo who bagged some valuable course experience in winning narrowly over C&D last month; the runner-up had been jumping, but this 145,000euros yearling had a bit in hand and surely has more to give off a 4lb higher mark.
-
Harry Cobden 22%J P Dempsey 11%505PP-No signal14/1Long time winless; showed a spark over hurdles in October; mark was 144 after he finished second to Solness in late 2023; no worthwhile chase form since and handicapper has now relented; still, big revival needed under Cobden.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Bryan Smart 12%5-6631No signal5/2 9/4 5/2She had regularly threatened prior to beating Data Fata Secutus in a 5f handicap at Musselburgh last month (good ground); a 3lb higher mark asks a stiffer question of her.
-
William Carson 10%Tony Carroll 13%0-5768No signal14/1 11/1 14/1Down to a basement mark but this 11-race maiden has been struggling to get competitive this year and others make greater appeal.
-
Liz Doyle 7%14065-No signal20/1 16/1 20/1Exposed but useful on his day; latest of three chase wins came off same mark in veterans' chase on this card a year ago; ran well in Midlands National at Kilbeggan next time and stays this far; after a layoff, ran okay at Wexford last month but probably vulnerable to those with more upside.
-
Connor Beasley 13%James Tate 19%/919-8No signal18/1 14/1 18/16yo with only 13 races behind him and ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion; 1lb lower than that day but he does need to rebound from a desperate comeback run at Pontefract.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%George Scott 19%2587-0No signal10/1 17/2 9/1Two 6f wins (both on good) last summer but unable to maintain progress and he was tried in cheekpieces last September; never involved on recent comeback at Newmarket but he may come on plenty on just his second run since wind surgery with a tongue-tie fitted.
- G
-
Rose Dawes 13%Sheena West 12%-56352No signal5/2 9/4 5/2All four wins at about this trip in 2023, including over C&D; not totally clear whether she's still the same mare since back from an absence but she gave Moon Over The Sea some grief at Windsor (about 1m3f, good to firm) on her recent return to turf and has another good run in her.
-
Murray Dodd 12%Nick Kent 8%/1663-No signal5/1 9/2 5/1Exposed and only 1-13 over hurdles, while his latest third at Doncaster three months ago is nothing to shout about; however, as a winner off 1lb higher 12 months ago (2m7f, good) he commands respect.
-
Mr J L Gleeson 19%Yvonne Latta 14%3-No signal6/1(E12,000 vendor F); first foal; dam unraced sister to 2m/2m1f chase winner Doyouknowwhatimean, half-sister to 2m hurdle/chase winner Fabrique En France, out of 2m4f/2m5f hurdle winner from family of Champion Hurdle winner Hors La Loi III; small yard is respected and wins bumpers from time to time; Gleeson rode him when he was third in a good-ground point last month, and the winner made 500K four days later.
-
Jason Hart 14%Charlie Johnston 13%2No signal7/2 FCST 10/3240,000gns yearling who was gelded ahead of belated debut at Doncaster last month (7f, good to firm) in which he bumped into one with experience; that was a nice start and improvement would appear a formality.
-
