James Best 9%/3/7/3No signal40/1 22/1 40/1Failed to complete in three of his four Irish points; showed some ability on hurdling debut here (2m5f, heavy) in September 2023 but he's had just two since and has been tailed off in both of them; now goes handicapping but this 9yo has a lot to prove.
-
Charles Bishop 10%George Baker 10%—No signal28/1 16/1 25/113,000gns foal, £22,000 yearling; sister to 7f 2yo winner Who Is Alice (RPR 67), half-sister to winners Over Spiced (multiple 5f including 2yo; 75), Lady Magda (Belgian 10.5f-13.5f) and Vive La Danse (Belgian 10.5f-13.5f); dam 6f/7f winner (including 2yo; 94); yard 2-50 with 2yos in recent years and she could be one for later on.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Charlie Johnston 13%5-No signal6/1 FCST 5/1Well-bred filly; easy to back and ended up a well-beaten fifth of 12 at Newmarket on her debut last July (7f, good to soft); can leave that initial effort well behind her this year.
-
Alther Walden20:30 Kempton (AW) race 7 of 8Oisin Murphy 22%George Scott 19%251-1PNo signal7/2 5/1 3/1Patently failed to stay 2m latest (stopped quickly and was pulled up) but had been going along nicely previously, winning Catterick novice (by 14l) and Newcastle handicap at around this trip; can get back on track with Oisin Murphy doing the steering. -
Jonathon Bewley 12%George Bewley 11%4446-7No signal20/1 FCST 14/1Longstanding maiden and no recent evidence to suggest she's about to put that right.
-
Ben Robinson 10%Brian Ellison 10%08No signal80/1 50/1 66/1Failed to beat a rival home on last month's debut here over 5f and she was reported to have hung left when eighth of nine here 34 days ago; steps up in trip with much more needed.
-
Rian Corcoran 15%David Pipe 16%0324-5No signal3/1 10/3 5/2Has patchy profile but he's well handicapped on his Taunton second (2m3f, good) in December and he may have needed his reappearance run at Hereford this month; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard.
-
Jake Dickson(3) 12%328567No signal10/1 9/1 10/1Sole win on AW and his rare turf handicap runs haven't seen him to best advantage, admittedly when higher in the weights than he is now; beaten favourite four times from last six runs though and others higher up the list.
-
James Best 9%I Chanin 0%009-No signal250/1 66/1 200/1Tailed off in three bumpers for two different yards, with latest at Kempton (2m, good) in March; can only be watched on hurdling/stable debut.
-
Danny Gilligan 12%0P26-1No signal3/1Breakthrough win when upped to 3m1f at Cork earlier this month with cheekpieces fitted, appreciating better ground when rallying late on after being headed by favourite; 6lb higher but conditions again to suit and could have more to offer.
-
Danny Power 2%Ms M Flynn 2%9909-8No signal18/1 FCST 16/1Both wins have been at shorter trips but has run well over 3m; back down to career-low mark now on recent modest efforts.
-
Aqwaam20:30 Kempton (AW) race 7 of 8Edward Greatrex 14%Ian Williams 11%21763/No signal28/1 16/1 28/1Four wins (three on AW at 1m6f and 2m) and was last seen finishing third in the 2024 Cesarewitch; has gone well over this shorter trip but can only be considered if market vibes are positive. -
Josh Williamson 11%Gordon Elliott 18%23497-No signal15/2 8/1 13/2Winning hurdler; fair maiden on the Flat; useful form in small-field hurdle races in the first half of last season; should improve from a run in a handicap at the Punchestown festival; was one of the outsiders then, and made some late headway, plenty of horses behind him.
-
Away To Paris20:19 Wexford race 8 of 85No signal16/1Way To Paris an 11,000euros 3yo; second foal; dam, by Robin Des Champs, unraced half-sister to useful winners Not Many Left, Coverholder and Angus Milan; okay recent Clonmel debut run, good bit more required to feature here. - B
-
Kielan Woods 14%Henry Oliver 8%177-5No signal9/4 4/1 2/1Won on bumper debut (good) in October but she found things tough in Listed events in next two starts before a well-held fifth hurdling debut at Warwick (2m, good) this month; still early days and should have a future over jumps but she needs improvement.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%—No signal10/1 6/1 10/1160,000euros yearling; third foal; by Ten Sovereigns; gelded half-brother to 1m4f AW winner Palmezzano (RPR 79); dam unraced half-sister to 5.5f Listed winner Iffranesia; yard has a strong strike-rate in AW maiden and novice events in recent years so the betting needs watching.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Ben Haslam 14%01-16No signal7/1 8/1 13/22-2 on AW, including a 7f novice at Southwell on his stable debut in April; only midfield in a 7f handicap at Wetherby three weeks later; drops back in trip with further improvement possible.
-
TBA7/4P0-No signal12/1 10/1 12/1First reserve; ran well at Roscommon in September after layoff, well held twice afterwards for Ross O'Sullivan; first start for Denis Hogan.
-
E Walsh 7%John M Burke 3%54420-No signal22/1 14/1 20/1Some decent runs without winning in bumpers and maiden hurdles on mainly decent ground; headstrong sort didn't get home on handicap debut at Clonmel in October and given time off since; hood left off and probably best watched.
-
Danny Mullins 11%R Donohoe 8%7008-2No signal15/2Maiden took a nice step forward over this trip at Punchestown a fortnight ago, well clear of the remainder when outstayed by all-the-way winner Oogum Boogum (good); 3lb better off with that rival now so has her chance.
-
Baltic21:00 Kempton (AW) race 8 of 8Jamie Spencer 12%Lucy Wadham 17%2/760-No signal18/1 12/1 18/1Won his first five handicaps (including on Tapeta, unproven on Polytrack) but the last of those was in July 2024; generally disappointing since and, after 307 days off, this is a new trip on first run since changing hands and leaving Harry Charlton. -
Sean Kirrane 11%Tim Easterby 11%97-806No signal10/3 FCST 5/2Not a prolific winner but he is operating off a reduced mark and there were more encouraging signs dropped to a Class 5 at Thirsk 11 days ago; another 3lb lower today and minor money could be on the cards.
-
Richard Hannon 12%4-7No signal40/1 22/1 28/1Fair fourth on debut here in October (7f) and was up against some very nice types when seventh at Newbury last month (1m2f; achieved similar amount); will be of greater interest once handicapping.
-
426865No signalSPHe has gone off the boil since his Wolverhampton second in February but over inadequate trips and he has slipped down the weights accordingly; a revival would seem likely back at an extended mile. -
Jason Hart 14%Ed Dunlop 12%4-1No signal8/15 8/13 9/17Didn't have to match the form of last year's promising debut at Newmarket to see off Pepsea and four others at Thirsk last month; 7lb worse off with Pepsea today but may still uphold the placings; the one to beat.
-
Beat The Edge20:38 Cartmel race 6 of 6Alice Stevens 14%Micky Hammond 10%6736-5No signal16/1Extremely hard to win with and modest runs outweigh the good ones these days. -
Freddie Gingell 22%Joe Tizzard 13%35PP-1No signal4/1Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected.
-
Dylan Kidd 4%7901-1No signal7/1 5/1 7/1Veteran finally made the breakthrough in 2m1 Bellewstown handicap in April and duly followed up at Down Royal early this month off 5lb higher under today's rider, produced late for cosy success; hit with another 8lb rise but in the form of his life and ground remains in his favour.
-
Jamie Hamilton 10%1242F-No signal14/1 11/1 14/1Better chaser than hurdler but handicapped accordingly and has placed form in this discipline; however, he has been off since falling over fences in September.
-
-73862No signal9/1 FCST 17/2Her sole success came on turf and her recent Kempton second (1m) was comparable form; could go well back on the grass.
-
Brian Hayes 10%5740-1No signal10/1 13/2 10/1A 69-rated Flat maiden; struggled to make an impression in juvenile hurdles last winter and was a rank outsider in the Triumph; came good in a maiden at Down Royal early this month; won readily and left an impression that he can continue on the upgrade on summer ground.
-
0003P-No signal8/1 7/1 8/1Useful bumper form in 2023, winning at Down Royal; hurdling career so far hasn't matched up, Limerick handicap third at Christmas (heavy) his best effort; pulled a shoe and suffered an overreach when pulled up in similar (but weaker) event in February; tongue-tie added now; can't rule out but may want it softer.
-
Leah Noreci 7%James Moffatt 13%54-No signal22/1 18/1 20/1Tailed off in both runs over hurdles and no worthwhile Flat form in the meantime.
-
Rowan Scott 12%2-6332No signal5/1 7/2 5/1Good efforts on his last three starts, not quite able to peg back Law Of Average's advantage when second at Bath four weeks ago (5f, firm); 2lb better off today and he should give his running again.
-
Charlotte Jones 14%James Moffatt 13%8177-5No signal12/1The winner of two 2m1f novice events here (good to soft/good) last summer; however, she dropped out very tamely in a 3m1f handicap here on Saturday.
-
P/544-No signal10/1 10/1 9/1Well treated on old form but his last win was in November 2023 and he's generally struggled since then; has something to prove and all of his wins have come on good to soft or slower.
-
David Noonan 8%0665-PNo signal33/1 FCST 28/1Has struggled in all of his six runs including when pulled up in a Stratford handicap (2m, good to firm) ten days ago; 5lb out of the weights this time and he can only be watched.
-
Tony Carroll 13%8No signal125/1 80/1 100/1100-1 when failing to beat a rival on debut over C&D three weeks ago; can't consider.
-
Boatswain20:30 Kempton (AW) race 7 of 87488-0No signal11/1 FCST 10/1Ready winner on debut last year (1m2f, Polytrack) and ran to an RPR in the 90s each start after; returned from nearly eight months off with lacklustre effort at Ascot and is suddenly best watched; cheekpieces return. -
Cam Hardie 6%Tim Easterby 11%—No signal40/1 14/1 33/1February foal; Wells Farhh Go filly; first foal; dam 1m2f-1m4f winner (RPR 84), half-sister to winners Bollin Joan (1m2f-1m4f) and Bollin Ted (1m2f), out of 1m4f-1m6f winning half-sister to St Leger winner Bollin Eric; pedigree suggests longer trips will suit.
-
Bolta Tintreach20:19 Wexford race 8 of 8Mr M O'Flynn 0%Jonathan Sweeney 22%—No signal14/1Third reserve; Beat Hollow 7yo cost 3,300euros as a yearling; half-brother to 2m4f/2m7f hurdle winner Vereina; dam point/2m7f chase winner, half-sister to 2m-2m4f hurdle/useful chase winner Nadiya De La Vega; best watched on belated debut. -
Daniel King 10%James Grace 0%7P0P-No signal28/1Moderate maiden form and pulled up on handicap debut at Cork in November, his final start for Gordon Elliott; makes stable debut now.
-
James Davies 8%Alan Jones 12%UNo signal150/1 FCST 125/1100-1 and she didn't get very far in a good-ground C&D novice event (unseated at first) on recent debut.
-
Leah Noreci 7%James Moffatt 13%78774-No signal9/4 FCST 2/1Only 7l away when fourth at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) in March and remains on a good mark; without a win since 2023 but has possbilities; Leah Noreci is his regular partner.
-
Mr D Allen 13%P5P1-5No signalSP FCST 25/1Third foal; half-brother to bumper/hurdles winner Long Gone; had shown little before winning a maiden point-to-point at Dromahane in April; bit headstrong in first-time cheekpieces on rules debut in 2m1f bumper here early this month, weakening before home turn; upped in trip now. -
Kevin Healy 10%Declan Queally 18%807-8No signal15/24yo filly never landed a blow on recent handicap debut at Sligo but did make late headway; tongue-tied now added and no surprise if she had more to offer here.
-
14448-No signal14/1 18/1 14/1Most recent of three wins came in 3m Perth handicap hurdle last summer; tailed off on comeback run at Newcastle and never counted over the banks at Punchestown festival early this month; trip on the short side reverting to hurdles.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Rebecca Menzies 11%87-352No signal4/1 FCST 7/2Made a winning yard debut at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last April and he's since won over hurdles at Musselburgh in November; bounced back from a lesser effort when second of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) 20 days ago and won't mind this drop back in trip.
-
Sam Ewing 12%W R Crawford 11%480B6-No signal11/2 7/1 11/2Took part in some decent maidens; brought down on handicap debut in December and following day shaped nicely when staying on late in Naas amateur handicap after being short of room; potential for more, especially back on better ground.
-
Bulletin20:30 Kempton (AW) race 7 of 8Rob Hornby 11%Jonathan Portman 13%143-32No signal7/1Yet to finish out of the frame and his last win was achieved here; stall 14 might not be terminal over this trip but the handicapper may now have his measure. -
Lorcan Williams 13%Paul Nicholls 22%1144O-No signal3/1 5/2 3/1Two hurdle wins last June and latest was over C&D (good); no joy in just three runs since but he was in lead when he ran out and crashed through the rails before the second-last at Wincanton (3m, good) last month; has possibilities if he can maintain his focus this time and he's well handicapped on his best form.
- C
-
57900-No signalSPNot yet off the mark but he was close up in better races than this last spring, including over C&D, and has dropped a long way in the weights after a quiet end to his time with Kevin Ryan; sold £3,000 since; would come right into it if in anything approaching his best form. -
Joey Haynes 10%Chelsea Banham 15%—No signal33/1 16/1 28/117,000gns yearling, £40,000 breeze-up 2yo; by Caturra; fifth foal; half-brother to winners Manila Scouse (5f/6f including 2yo; RPR 95) and Tasever (7f/1m AW; 76); dam well held in two runs but from a good family; stable not associated with winning 2yo newcomers but he's bred to be sharp and is worth a market check.
-
Paul Townend 38%W. P. Mullins 26%5-93No signal8/1 FCST 7/1Half-brother to the top-class Altior and several other smart performers; tailed off over 3m in testing conditions at Limerick on debut; shorter trip (2m2f) and better ground failed to improve him at Sligo; however, only three days later, showed promise with a third placing at Kilbeggan.
-
Caughtinyourtrance20:08 Cartmel race 5 of 6Charlotte Jones 14%James Moffatt 13%623P-2No signal6/4 FCST 18/13Both wins over hurdles were here; runner-up in two of his four chase starts, the latest here on Saturday when no match for the winner over 3m1f; fine over this far and has clear claims. -
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%3-221No signal4/1 10/3 4/1Improved RPR each start, culminating in ready win on handicap debut at Lingfield last month (7f, AW); plenty went wrong for the other 2-1 joint-favourite, so that contest may not have taken much winning, but he should still be competitive off 7lb higher here.
-
Jamie Hamilton 10%Mark Walford 11%7F23-5No signal18/1Flat winner who is 0-15 over hurdles, though does have placed form off this mark; it wasn't too bad a run 19 days ago at Market Rasen.
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Barry Murphy 5%1357-0No signal33/1 33/1 25/1Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten in three runs for new stable (Flat/hurdles) this spring; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival; blinkers return and visor is removed.
-
TBALiz Doyle 7%098-05No signal22/1Third reserve; glimpse of ability on Cork bumper debut last year but nothing so far in maiden hurdles; market best guide entering handicap company.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%00-004No signal17/2 FCST 8/1Does plenty wrong during his races but it hasn't stopped him from winning seven times, two of them over C&D; running himself back into form this year but others appeal more.
-
Clean Getaway20:38 Cartmel race 6 of 6Philip Kirby 8%24514-No signal12/1 FCST 11/1Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well. -
Donagh Meyler 11%36P-FPNo signal50/1A maiden in points; very poor form in four maiden hurdles.
-
Freddie Keighley 12%Paul Nicholls 22%22F32-No signalSPWinning hurdler who went close off 1lb lower at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) last April; back over fences in last five starts and she's finished runner-up three times including at Newton Abbot (2m5f) last month; now returns to hurdling at this new trip but she ran respectably over 2m7f on her penultimate run and has possibilities if her stamina holds out; cheekpieces added. -
TBAU064-PNo signal25/1Third reserve; okay form at best in handicaps, lost action when pulled up at Punchestown last time.
-
Donagh Meyler 11%Noel Meade 11%26415-No signal15/8 11/4 7/4Grade 2 bumper winner at Leopardstown the season before last, and third in the Grade 1 Champion Bumper at Punchestown; got off the mark over hurdles on fourth start at Fairyhouse; raced too keenly and paid the price when fading late into fifth in a novice contest at the Punchestown festival; capable of being in the mix in this company.
-
Rebecca Menzies 11%4No signal11/1 FCST 9/1Won a Class 6 handicap on the Flat last year over 1m3f (on good ground); ran better on his hurdle debut at Hexham (good to soft) than his margin of defeat may suggest; this surface will suit him better.
-
Jack Nicholls 12%Hugo Palmer 13%—No signal4/1 3/1 4/1April foal; 130,000gns foal, 30,000gns yearling; Sioux Nation colt; third foal; dam runner-up 11.4f turf/1m4f AW (RPR 81), half-sister to 7f/1m Listed winner Doom, out of US 9.5f/1m2f Grade 1 winning half-sister to 1m 2yo Group 1 winner Sulk; yard has started the season well with their 2yos and he's one to watch in the betting.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Andrew Balding 18%—No signal13/2 4/1 13/2Seventh foal; Dark Angel half-brother to winners Sajir (5.5f-7f including 2yo/AW/Group 1; RPR 122) and First Kingdom (1m including AW; 92); dam Group-placed 6f AW 2yo winner (91); the draw could have been kinder but the market can guide.
-
P. J. McDonald 14%Sam England 15%8-7311No signal7/2 FCST 3/1Has won here twice already this month, taking his course record to 112311; all those races were over the extended 1m, so this race asks a slightly different question but he grabbed control well over 1f out last time, is back in career-best form and highly respected.
-
Corway20:19 Wexford race 8 of 8TBAEoin Doyle 5%—No signal20/1Second reserve; Vadamos 4yo is fifth foal of a maiden sister to French 1m2f winner Melbourne Shuffle, half-sister to Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner Pichola Dance, family of 2yo Group 1 winners Listen and Sequoyah; tongue-tied for debut and worth a market check. -
Paddy Hanlon 5%Syd Hosie 5%/00PF-No signalSP 28/1 40/15yo who didn't show much at big prices in five hurdle runs (2m-2m3f) in Ireland; now makes debut for new yard and he needs a transformation on this switch to fast ground. -
John Wainwright 11%59867-No signal33/1 FCST 28/1An AW winner in 2024 for previous yard but he needs to improve on his turf efforts for new connections last year; lack of a recent run is another negative.
-
Crios Cu Chulainn20:19 Wexford race 8 of 8E Sheehy 4%9No signal66/1Idaho mare; dam fourth in bumper, half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Faugheen; tailed off on bumper debut at Punchestown a fortnight ago, can only be watched for now. -
Cuzco Du Mathan20:38 Cartmel race 6 of 6Leah Noreci 7%James Moffatt 13%47644-No signal5/1 11/2 5/1Not in flying form earlier this year but all three career wins have been at Cartmel, the last two over fences; the concern is the conditions as he does enjoy significant cut underfoot. - D
-
Paul Townend 38%W. P. Mullins 26%2521U-No signal10/11 Evs 5/6Bumper winner over 2m3f; off the mark over hurdles over the same course and trip in March at the fourth attempt, winning by a handsome margin at short odds; unseated at the first on handicap debut at the Punchestown festival; hard to be sure if he is worthy of an official rating of 130 that gives him an excellent chance here in theory.
-
137-95No signal33/1 20/1 28/1Normally starts slowly; goes well fresh so would like to have seen more on reappearance at Bath and didn't fare much better there four weeks ago; fourth is the best he's managed on AW; passed over.
-
Ruth Carr 12%67-065No signal11/2His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender.
-
0508-No signal25/1Tailed off on handicap debut over 2m3f at Punchestown in January (heavy); first run on this sort of ground and cheekpieces added; big improvement required.
-
William Carver 10%Jamie Osborne 12%86-No signal66/1 40/1 66/1Never near the leaders in two 7f events, over C&D and on dirt at Meydan in the autumn; cheekpieces on latest, now discarded; likely other days.
-
William Maggs(3) 10%Andrew Hamilton 15%053-2UNo signal13/2 FCST 11/2Lightly raced 6yo; in this new headgear combination when a late mistake (and some wandering) cost him a 3m chase at Perth and again he showed some quirks when ducking right and unseating at the first fence at Kelso on Sunday; capable of having a say on this return to hurdling but comes with an element of risk.
-
54No signal4/1 5/2 4/1Fifth of ten at Bath (5f, good) on last month's debut and she built on that when a 3l fourth at Nottingham (6f, good) 31 days ago; pedigree suggests this longer trip will suit (dam 7f/1m winner) and has claims.
-
Sean Aherne 5%864P-2No signal9/2Still novicey in jumping when decent C&D second 11 days ago (good-to-yielding); this looks more competitive but still definite claims.
-
Shane Crawley 11%000-No signal20/1 16/1 20/1First reserve; no impact in a trio of maidens over the winter; market best guide now on handicap debut.
-
52220-No signal5/1Runner-up in handicaps at Downpatrick and Kilbeggan last summer and again over 2m4f at Clonmel in October; slightly lame when beaten favourite later same month at Punchestown but definite player if reproducing those earlier efforts on her return here.
-
Ethan Tindall 10%852482No signal16/1 15/2 14/1Has run some good races on Tapeta this year and only just failed at Southwell (5f) in April; however, he wasn't in much form on turf in 2025, including in this race, and looks unlikely to break his turf duck.
-
Luke Scott 15%Jennie Candlish 17%12224-No signal9/1 17/2 9/1In a consistent run of form when last seen in November, mostly hooded but also in just a tongue-tie last time; this mark is very manageable but he does lack a recent run.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%Saeed bin Suroor 20%2No signal11/1Well-connected colt; easy to back for recent Leicester debut (7f; 13-2) where he raced freely/erratically and had no answer to a more experienced rival in the closing stages; the bare form puts him in the picture and he should know more this time.
-
Neil Callan 14%George Baker 10%5No signal50/1 FCST 33/1Dam won at up to 2m; 125-1 shot for recent 1m debut on Lingfield AW where he lost his position in the closing stages; major query about the drop to 7f and handicaps look the next step.
-
David Nolan 12%David O'Meara 13%343329No signal17/2Her losing run stands at 18 and she disappointed as favourite at Beverley two weeks ago; on the plus side, she went desperately close at Ayr (behind Starliner) three weeks ago and won't be far away if back at that level.
-
Double Order20:19 Wexford race 8 of 89-6No signal50/1Order Of St George mare well held on debut (too keen) in Cork bumper a year ago for Pat Turley, reappearing for current yard early this month at Downpatrick when never sighted in first-time hood; probably best watched for now. -
Shane Gray 15%Kevin Ryan 12%554-4No signal50/1 28/1 40/1Her third 2yo run represented a jolt of improvement but she failed to build on it when last of four on her handicap debut in February (33-1); a 1lb drop in the weights is not enough to tempt this time.
-
Leah Noreci 7%James Moffatt 13%122-06No signal9/1 FCST 8/1After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred.
- E
-
Susan Corbett 10%2571-1No signalSPEx-Noel Williams mare; since a quiet yard debut she's won 3m/3m2f handicaps at Perth (good/good to soft), the latest by a comfortable 8l; raised another 7lb but something has evidently clicked. -
Brendan Powell 11%Joe Tizzard 13%71/6-1No signal9/4Made it 2-3 for Joe Tizzard when scoring back from another break at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 100-30) two weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a comfortable win from off the pace and this step back up in trip should be fine (first hurdle win was over 2m4f); big player.
-

Oisin Orr 14%1-4811No signal4/1Ended 2025 with a pair of Class 6 wins on AW (7f/6f); his progress has continued back on turf, making all in 6f handicaps at Redcar and Doncaster; another 5lb higher today and also steps up into a Class 4 but he is still more appealing than many.
-
Ryan Moore 24%1No signal1/5 1/5 3/20Strong in the betting on debut at Newbury (1m3f) and backers always looked like collecting; carries a 7lb penalty here but is seemingly held in some regard given his next outing was meant to be in the Chester Vase (scratched due to having a temperature) and an entry in the Arc (he's around 50-1) has been made.

Susan Corbett 10%5P22-1No signal11/1Doubled his hurdle tally over nearly 3m at Hexham this month and that was on the back of good runs in defeat; raised 6lb but has placed form under the returning Rebekah Duffy who claims 7lb.

/0026-No signal16/1Standout run in handicaps came when second in 2m6f Ballinrobe contest last summer (good); absent since August and debuts for new yard off what appears an inadequate trip.

Keith Donoghue 13%Gavin Cromwell 11%P697-0No signal28/1Point-to-point winner and placed in modest maiden hurdle at Tramore (2m5f, good) last summer; couple of spins over fences didn't work out and well held twice over hurdles of late; blinkers now added to tongue-tie.

—No signal12/1 13/2 12/1170,000gns yearling; third foal; brother to two winners, including White Birch (7f-10.5f, including AW/Group 1; RPR 125); dam 6f/7f AW winner (100); already gelded; makes some appeal on paper and training partnership has 21% strike-rate in AW maidens/novices in the last five years.

Freddie Gingell 22%Joe Tizzard 13%08-No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Finished down the field in two bumpers this spring, most recently when eighth of 12 here (2m1f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race but she still needs a transformation on this switch to hurdling.

Rob Hornby 11%Andrew Balding 18%—No signal12/1 17/2 12/1Sixth foal; half-sister to winners Gold Cup Day (1m4f; RPR 86) and Ingleton (Omani 6f); dam 1m4f winner (92), closely related to 1m2f-2m4f Group 1 winner Fame And Glory and to dam of 1m-1m2f Group 1 winner Legatissimo; one of two newcomers for the yard and market should guide.

Oisin Murphy 22%Harry Charlton 16%31-4No signal3/1 FCST 5/2Good third on C&D debut in September (winner subsequently won the Dante; second won his next two starts) and got the job done at Yarmouth next time (7f); fair return in quite a hot novice at that track 46 days ago, particularly as he raced freely in a first-time hood (left off here) stepping up to 1m; gelded since; has been gelded; key player on handicap debut from rail draw.

Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%176-99No signal10/1 11/1 9/1Smooth win at Newcastle (7f) in December and now rated 2lb lower; that is a result of beating just one horse home in four subsequent starts; jury out for now.

Brian Hayes 10%8622-No signal14/1 13/2 14/1Left previous modest efforts behind when staying on to finish 4l second behind a Willie Mullins-trained favourite at Tramore (2m, soft) last November; backed up that promising effort with a third placing in a Cork novice event in January (yielding-to-soft); could feature if showing similar form on better ground after a good break.

No horse matches that.
