Danny Mullins 11%5P94-5No signal4/166-1 winner on Rules debut in a 4yo hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.5f, good) last May; close fourth in 15.5f novice handicap chase off 102 here on penultimate; well beaten back over hurdles at Downpatrick latest; stamina a query for this trip.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%854-53No signalSP 8/1 10/1Ex-German runner who is another to have contested a Derby, in his case when beaten less than 10l in the Hamburg version in July; nowhere near that form in two starts for Marco Botti (including once in cheekpieces) and similar story on both outings for this yard; gelding operation, handicap debut and a mark in freefall put him top of the market watchlist, though.
-
Rob Hornby 11%Mike Murphy 12%717144No signal6/1 11/4 6/1Dual AW scorer who picked up the second of those wins at Kempton (1m) in March; two solid AW runs followed and he should be fine back on turf, having placed in a course classified (1m, good to firm) in July; player.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Rod Millman 13%79-865No signal8/1 6/1 15/2Usually ridden patiently; step back in right direction when keeping-on fifth at Kempton (7f, AW) this month, but his three turf wins in 2025 were gained over 1m and he'll probably need a strong pace to aim at over this trip.
-
Noel Meade 11%6-6004No signal14/1 15/2 14/1Dual-purpose maiden didn't get beyond the first (swerved and unseated) at Ballinrobe on Tuesday; previous Roscommon Flat third under today's rider was a solid run so don't rule out.
-
Leigh Roche 6%3012-0No signalSP FCST 80/1All her best form has been here, notably winning 2m2f Ulster Cesarewitch last September off a lowly mark of 63; never sighted on last weekend's Curragh comeback run and tried blinkered here; proven stayer and likes the track but loads to find on ratings.
-
Sean Kirrane 11%Tim Easterby 11%042080No signal17/2 10/1 15/2Close second at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February and likewise at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; however, soundly beaten on his three starts since and he needs to raise his game.
-
David Probert 13%Andrew Balding 18%22-6No signalevn 2/3 10/11Runner-up on both 2yo starts (1m/8.5f) and not beaten far when sixth of ten in what has predictably turned out to be a strong Newbury novice (1m2f, good) last month, despite racing too freely in the lead; will be hard to beat if first-time hood helps him to relax here.
-
David Probert 13%David Evans 13%59-412No signal5/2 3/1 32/17Front-runner who dead-heated for first in first-time visor at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and took another step forward when very close second at Bath (1m, good) 25 days ago; respected in current mood.
-
/50-00No signal66/1Has shown very little in nine starts from 5f-11.4f; visor removed; makes no appeal.
-
Scott Dixon 7%125333No signal12/1 15/2 11/1Has a good C&D record which includes two wins in February, and there wasn't much she could do about her latest defeat on this track, when third to one well ahead of his mark; down in grade and one to consider in first-time headgear.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%222311No signal6/5 18/13 11/10Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty.
-
Rowan Scott 12%Roger Varian 20%12No signal10/3 5/2 3/1Siyouni filly who got off to a winning start in 1m Southwell novice in March; beaten at odds-on but advanced her form when second of 12 under a penalty in 1m Lingfield novice 17 days ago; she holds very good form claims.
-
Luke McAteer 8%David Marnane 10%970152No signal9/2 3/1 9/2Back to form when recording a tenth career win at Dundalk in March; has won three times on turf and finished runner-up of 15 at Limerick (1m, yielding) on latest when just in front of Minaun View; player.
-
Ben Coen 11%8800-No signal40/1 20/1 40/1Lightly raced maiden wasn't sighted in three maidens last year and last of 17 on handicap debut at Navan in October (upset in stalls), trained then by Michael Grassick; big step up in trip for seasonal/yard debut and best watched.
-
Colin Keane 16%G. M. Lyons 16%679No signal16/1 12/1 11/1Half-brother to Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Siskin; has looked limited in three maiden runs this spring and looks a more likely one for handicaps although this grade of maiden offers possibilities.
-
Clifford Lee 17%K. R. Burke 20%—No signal15/8 2/1 31/19150,000euros yearling; fourth foal; State Of Rest half-sister to winners Miami Matrix (7f/7.5f including AW; RPR 90), Ob La Di (10.3f/12.3f; 89) and Baltic Fleet (1m1f 2yo; 88); dam French Listed-placed 1m2f/1m3f winner (95); powerful stable is 2-4 with 2yos on AW this year; interesting.
-
Callum Rodriguez 20%Adam Kirby 12%451-12No signal2/1 FCST 32/17Looked ahead of his mark in first three 5f wins on the AW, most recently at Southwell in March; missed a beat at the start and only just failed to reel in the more prominently ridden Spendmore Lane at Lingfield since; raised a further 3lb but still has potential.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%29-506No signal15/2 17/2 7/1Best effort when runner-up in Sligo nursery (6f, good to yielding) last year off 64; soundly beaten all three starts at trips ranging from 5f-7f this term; has to improve but handicapper's grip is loosening.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%Marco Botti 16%23No signal11/4 7/2 9/4Showed signs of greenness when a close second at Kempton (6f, Polytack) and when beaten a similar distance in third at Nottingham (6f, good; favourite) where she improved; not ruled out.
-
07-144No signal17/2 16/1 15/2Nicely improved in first-time visor to handsomely win 1m Dundalk handicap in January (beating a subsequent winner); not clear run and hung right over same C&D 10 days later; not certain he stayed today's trip at Leopardstown last time (over 2l off Pierre Grosse at level); gelded since and visor back on (replacing cheekpieces worn latest).
-
08050-No signal18/1 10/1 14/1Respectable fifth at this course over 5f in her first handicap in September, staying on after taking a hold in first-time cheekpieces; failed to see out this trip at Dundalk next time; gelded ahead of return.
-
—No signalSP18,000gns yearling; seventh foal; Caturra half-brother to winners Lady Roxby (5f including 2yo; RPR 89) and Lezardrieux (prolific 5f/6f including 2yo; 85); dam 5f 2yo winner (75); trainer/owner have a very promising 2yo on their hands in Adonius; the betting could be informative on debut. -
Jim Boyle 9%89267-No signal8/1 15/2 7/13-14 on the AW for Simon Dow and 0-7 on turf; may need this first start for her new trainer after 256 days off and is probably better over a bit further now.
-
Aidan Kelly 9%8/70-4No signal8/1 15/2 8/1Chase debutante; 1-8 over hurdles and rated 98; bred to make a chaser and trip and ground should be fine for her here; respectable run over hurdles at Wexford latest (3m, gd-yld); tongue tie goes on; place claims.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%33-22No signal6/4 31/19 5/4Fairly consistent when placed in three AW qualifying starts and it was an encouraging handicap/turf debut when second of seven at Yarmouth (again 6f, good to firm) last month; probably capable of better and he's respected.
-
Richard Hannon 12%372013No signal15/2 13/2 15/2Finally opened his account at Southwell in April and he followed it with a solid third of eight there eight days ago; ought to be thereabouts again.
-
Alex Jary 9%Nigel Tinkler 11%1-7351No signal7/2 11/4 10/3Mixed form since she won on nursery debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) last September but she returned to winning ways at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago; just 3lb higher today and holds strong claims for in-form yard.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%0-75No signalSP FCST 22/1Just okay runs this term in maidens at Leopardstown and Roscommon; another for whom handicaps beckon.
- B
-
5454-1No signal7/2 3/1 10/3Ran well in defeat on multiple occasions for Charlie Johnston at 6f/7f; sported first-time blinkers when running out a surprise 33-1 winner on stable/seasonal debut at Navan (6f, yielding) 13 days ago; should go well again.
-
9074-5No signal9/1 12/1 8/1Point and Limerick maiden hurdle winner (16.5f, good) has finished runner up in two of his seven starts over fences; beaten 17.5l on last two starts at Kilbeggan and Killarney at around 2m4f; drop back in trip here a plus; rated 10lb higher over timber; could go well.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%51-23No signal11/8 31/19 18/13Narrowly landed a 1m1f maiden at Yarmouth last September and he ran to a similar level when second at Bath on his reappearance last month (1m2f, good); gelded prior to his handicap debut at York (1m4f) two weeks ago, a race in which he was never far away but looked a bit awkward under pressure; upped 2lb but not yet exposed; AW debut.
-
TBALiam McAteer 3%-00900No signalSP FCST 33/1Third reserve; nothing of any substance since 2023 Killarney win; 9lb wrong.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Sheena West 12%1260-8No signal12/1 11/1 10/1Finished second both previous starts over C&D and also won two classified events when trained by Jack Channon; well beaten in two starts on the Flat since joining this stable, however, and was pulled up over hurdles 40 days ago; others preferred.
-
Brian Hayes 10%72120-No signal17/2 8/1 15/2Consistent hurdler who was in good form for the most part of last year, winning a 2m handicap at Wexford in October; there are successful chasers in the family.
-
Luke Catton 12%Jim Boyle 9%1467-8No signal9/2 4/1 9/2Doesn't have a great record fresh so this month's Windsor reappearance isn't hard to forgive; won easily from 2lb lower over C&D (good) last August having made all, but similar tactics won't be easy in this field, especially from the widest stall.
-
David Egan 13%85933-No signal15/2 13/2 7/10-18, with his solitary second over 7f on soft; ended 2025 with two respectable thirds in October, including over 7f here on good to firm, but first time out has seen two of his best shows, so he needs a second look today.
-
7-5440No signal10/1 16/1 17/2Has made the frame a few times over C&D, but a record of 1-49 doesn't make him an appealing proposition.
-
Ben Coen 11%122-00No signal28/1 22/1 25/1Won twice for James Ferguson last year, including on turf at Nottingham; tailed off in two starts for this yard, behind third-placed Faoladh at Leopardstown on latest.
-
T M Walsh 12%F4910-No signal7/1Won over hurdles at Punchestown in January (2m, sft-hvy); his C&D novice chase win came on testing ground too and it was yielding when he won here over hurdles; goes well fresh so lack of a recent run isn't a concern but could do with some rain.
-
166620No signal28/1 11/1 25/1Has won over 6f/7f at Dundalk and runner-up over 1m there last month; yet to run a good race on turf, including when tailed off at Gowran (1m) last month.
-
122118No signalSPNon-runner. -
122118No signal11/1 15/2 11/1In fine form on the AW in 2026, scoring twice over C&D in April; beat one back on turf at Bath last time but no surprise to see him get back on track here.
-
Cian Quirke 9%W J Lanigan 7%64P0F-No signal17/2 6/1 17/2Winning hurdler; 0-8 over fences and rated 97; fell when holding every chance in a C&D handicap chase when last seen last August (good); has gone well fresh and not discounted.
-
G B Noonan 9%5080-9No signal22/1 20/1 22/1Last won over hurdles here (2m, good) in 2022; rated 23lb higher over fences but hard to fancy on the evidence of his last three runs over hurdles at Clonmel.
-
J R Finn 0%5No signal40/1 20/1 33/1Never dangerous when beaten 30l into fifth in a good-ground bumper at Sligo; remains best watched.
-
Ethan Tindall 10%585636No signal25/1 16/1 22/1Has won on all three Tapeta tracks, most recently over C&D in December, not as good since and although he ran better back here in April, he found little at Newcastle next time; others more likely.
-
84No signal12/1 17/2 10/1Last of eight in 1m3f Newbury maiden on last month's debut but belied triple-digit odds when fourth of nine there (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago and will have each-way claims if he can make any further progress.
-
Danny Gilligan 12%Gordon Elliott 18%38987-No signal22/1 14/1 22/1Became disappointing over hurdles after winning his maiden and he offered very little on switch to fences last October; hard to warm to.
-
TBAR Donohoe 8%85-042No signal5/1 7/2 5/1Second reserve; seventh in this race last year; not beaten far on last two runs; in the mix.
-
Josh Williamson 11%70P-03No signal9/2 5/1 4/1No win since 2023 but step in the right direction when a keeping on 4.75l third at Clonmel (19.5f, gd-yld) 15 days ago; effectively 7lb lower here with rider's claim; stays this far and in the mix with a repeat of that last effort.
-
Bryan Smart 12%7No signal50/1 25/1 50/1Showed pace and had a wide trip when well-beaten seventh of nine on this month's debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft); improvement is possible but he needs to take a sizeable step forward if he's to threaten today.
-
Kathy Turner 18%0No signal33/1 50/1 33/1Showed his inexperience when a down-the-field 200-1 shot on recent debut at Newbury (1m2f, good; hooded, as today); drops in trip and remains best watched.
-
T G McCourt 7%90-297No signal10/1 7/1 9/1Maiden went closest when chasing home a progressive type over 6f at Dundalk in April; slowly away over 7f at Gowran next time; another slow break over 6f at Navan on latest; others more likely.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%Gavin Cromwell 11%7550-9No signal18/1 11/1 18/1First reserve; just fair form in handicaps to date, including fifth over C&D; can get upset in the stalls.
-
John Aherne 2%7/F6/0No signal50/1Very modest form in two points and three maiden hurdles; best watched on chase debut.
-
Sean Flanagan 10%3161-6No signal7/1 11/2 6/1Three-time hurdles winner (including here) is 1-4 over fences; that win came at Wexford (2m, good) off 7lb lower last August; out of depth in Listed hurdle latest but this more suitable and she goes well here; not out of this.
- C
-
David Egan 13%Dylan Cunha 13%67No signal15/2 18/1 7/1Early-May foal who was far from disgraced at 100-1 on his debut at Bath in late April but still looked green when weakening into midfield at Redcar (6f, good) 11 days ago; still early days.
-
W. M. Lordan 16%Aidan O'Brien 22%2050-4No signal15/2 15/2 13/2Well exposed daughter of Wootton Bassett out of a mare by Galileo; regressive tail end of last year; fourth of 24 in 6f Curragh maiden (soft) on return; hard to be confident despite the pedigree, connections and being Aidan O'Brien's sole runner on the card.
-
Tim Easterby 11%43No signal15/8 5/4 32/17Improved upon her debut run at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) on May 2 when third there (5f, good) a fortnight ago, having attracted some market support; she's a leading player on the back of that latest effort.
-
Danny Gilligan 12%Cian Collins 9%5P807-No signal28/1 28/1 22/1Point winner is 0-6 over hurdles and yet to trouble the judge; beaten 21l on last handicap hurdle start and 25l behind the winner in Sligo beginners' chase when last seen in October.
-
1125-5No signalevn 5/6 EvsWon his first three races around this time last year, notably 1m6f Group 2 Queen's Vase; better again in defeat when second in 1m4f Great Voltigeur and fifth to Scandinavia in St Leger; not quite at same level on last month's seasonal return behind same rival in Navan Listed; visor now replaces blinkers.
-
Joanna Mason 12%2520-2No signal10/3 4/1 10/3Not the most prolific, but he was returning from 134 days off when beaten just a neck at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; respected off 1lb higher if coming on from that.
-
W. J. Lee 16%K J Condon 11%705No signal9/1 15/2 9/1Failed to fire in three maidens at 5f/6f on yielding/soft ground, the latest of those at Navan 13 days ago when beaten 11.5l into fifth; likely improver now handicapping; worth a market check.
-
Seamus Cronin 13%Richard Hannon 12%525321No signal10/11 11/10 4/5Has dropped a fair way down the weights over the last year or so, but looked back in prime form when scooting clear to win readily by 4l at Southwell (5f, AW) last week; also suited by good to firm turf and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under his 5lb penalty.
-
Jack Doughty 13%Tony Carroll 13%747176No signal9/1 7/1 9/1Landed her second win on turf when picking up 1m2f course classified in August; similar trip and grade when winning at Wolverhampton (AW) in March but two lesser efforts followed; drops back in distance.
-
Pat Phelan 8%2-1674No signal15/2 FCST 7/1Only start here produced a second over C&D (good to soft) in October and he got off the mark in a Lingfield classified (1m, AW) in January; not quite matched that in three starts since and yet to prove he's effective on quick turf; still can't be ruled out in a moderate contest.
-
W. J. Lee 16%W. McCreery 9%373-No signal10/1 17/2 9/1Improved on latter of three maiden runs in second half of last season, rallying third in first-time visor (left off here) over a mile at Thurles; good chance he'll improve further at this longer trip.
-
Robert Havlin 15%Ed Dunlop 12%411-78No signal14/1 14/1 9/1Ended 2025 with a pair of wins in Kempton nurseries (1m and 7f); he has struggled in two handicaps this time around, however, and comes here with a point to prove.
-
P Sweeney 7%57-950No signal40/1 33/1 28/1Won five times when trained in Britain by Philip McBride; all those wins came on ground with good in the description; slowly away and always behind at the Curragh on latest; new headgear.
-
Adam Caffrey 9%Noel Meade 11%5745No signal14/1 22/1 10/1Just mild promise in three maiden runs before Leopardstown handicap debut earlier this month, seemingly not getting home over 1m4f; drop back in trip to suit but may not reverse form with Eniac.
-
00PP-PNo signal40/1 50/1 40/1Huge odds and well beaten in maidens; pulled up on last three start; blinkers replace cheekpieces; others preferred.
-
Scott Dixon 7%790774No signal4/1 10/1 7/2Front-runner who ran well when fourth of 13 at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) a week ago, but her losing run is up to 26 and she's unlikely to get her own way in this field.
-
3335No signal33/1 11/1 33/1Consistent without progressing in four AW runs (6f) for Ed Walker this year; changed hands for 16,000gns last month; improvement for today's extra furlong is essential.
-
Hugo Palmer 13%27604-No signal12/1 8/1 11/1Ten-race maiden but he ran some good races last season and reappears on a career-low mark; can give a good account if fully tuned up.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Grace Harris 11%56-563No signal4/1Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected.
-
William Carson 10%-48439No signal9/2 7/2 9/2Veteran who is 9-46 on the AW and 0-21 on grass, but he has become dangerously well handicapped on the pick of his turf form last year; should find this race is run to suit.
-
Nicola Burns 7%G. M. Lyons 16%8054No signal12/1 15/2 12/1All four runs have been over 7f/1m, showing mild promise in Leopardstown maiden but no improvement dropped to claiming company latest; marked step up in trip here.
-
Darragh O'Keeffe 13%/1373-No signal9/4 FCST 2/1Beaten three times under a penalty in novice hurdles after winning his maiden but rated 120 in that scene and he's bred for fences; every chance, for all that he would probably prefer a longer trip.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Ollie Sangster 14%204-12No signal5/1 5/2 5/1Had issues with the stalls as a 2yo but she has returned from a winter break as an improved performer, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton this month and failing narrowly over C&D 11 days ago; should still have more to offer; one of two live chances for Ollie Sangster.
-
P Cluskey 4%0-No signal150/1 125/1 150/1Sent off 200-1 for 7f Naas debut last September and failed to beat a single rival home.
-
Leigh Roche 6%30No signal50/1 40/1 50/1Respectable debut when third at a big price in 1m Gowran maiden dominated by market leaders; raced far too keenly and built up big early advantage before weakening on next start at Navan (1m2f); drop in trip may help.
-
Mr J P Berry 7%J A Berry 5%P570-6No signal12/1 16/1 10/1Has lost way since a purple patch in 2024 which included a win here over 20.5f (gd-yld) off 15lb higher; not a bad run on return from 133 days off latest and on a dangerous mark if she's back on song.
-
Rowan Scott 12%Katie Scott 10%98-744No signal10/1 13/2 9/1Useful 5f turf form in 2025 but his season slowed down later in the year and he's been below best, despite the reduced mark, this term; 0-3 on Newcastle AW but he did handle that Tapeta earlier in his career, so perhaps the switch to this track might pay off in first-time headgear.
- D
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%-23325No signal11/2 10/3 5/1Won 1m2f Group 3 Ballysax Stakes in 2024 (1m2f, heavy); last win was at Dundalk early last year, having faced some stiff tasks since, career-best when front-running second to ready winner Scandinavia in Navan Listed last month; not as good behind same rival since under similar tactics in Group 3 Saval Beg; bit to find on ratings and step up to 2m looks a big ask.
-
87-858No signal16/1 25/1 14/1Won a 2yo course maiden (good to soft) in 2024 but flopped on his return visit when favourite for a handicap (also 1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last September; left Hughie Morrison after another lesser effort and that pattern has continued in three starts for this yard; hopes probably pinned on this drop back in trip.
-
Nigel Tinkler 11%5-0571No signal6/1 4/1 6/1He's inconsistent but he was back on song when winning at Beverley (5f, good to firm) this month; he's just 2lb higher today and is a leading player if backing up that latest performance.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%A Oliver 11%—No signal25/1 18/1 25/1Dandy Man filly; 23,000euros yearling; sister to Listed-placed 5f-6.5f winner Whistle And Flute (inc 2yo; RPR 106); dam unraced half-sister to 1m 2yo Group 2 winner Agnes Stewart and 1m5f Listed winner Sorrel; watch betting.
-
816446No signal18/1 14/1 16/1C&D winner whose five AW wins include two this year; often slowly away; has been running respectably off his lower turf mark of late but probably needs a bit more for the adding of a visor.
-
202574No signal7/1 17/2 7/10-17 record includes a near miss over 7f last summer and two over 6f early this year; Windsor 6f fourth three weeks ago confirms her place claims but it's not surprising that connections now reach for cheekpieces.
-
00-435No signal11/2 3/1 5/1Six-race maiden; placed in first-time hood at Southwell (1m, AW) last month but managed only fifth of seven when favourite for turf debut at Bath (1m, firm) three weeks later; upped in trip here; still needs to prove herself on grass.
-
Colin Keane 16%708-7No signal12/1 11/1 10/1Long odds and soundly beaten in trio of maidens at Navan/Dundalk over 5f-7f late last year; never threatened when seventh of 13 on 1m Bellewstown handicap debut last month; booking of Colin Keane a plus.
-
Ross Coakley 10%Hugo Palmer 13%3888-No signal40/1 22/1 40/1Showed promise on debut in October (6f, AW) but tailed off when fitted with cheekpieces (retained) for 7f AW nursery in December on latest outing; upped in trip for turf debut; leap of faith required to support her.
-
David Probert 13%Owen Burrows 22%6No signal20/1 20/1 18/1Made fairly encouraging debut when sixth of nine at Lingfield (7f, AW) this month but needs improvement.
-
Ruth Carr 12%129790No signal22/1 16/1 22/1Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary.
-

Olivia Tubb 12%Grace Harris 11%446-52No signal6/1 5/1 11/2Still a maiden after 29 starts but bettered low-key seasonal debut when close second from out of the weights over C&D (good to soft) last week and is effectively 4lb lower today; also suited by faster ground; obvious contender if in similar form.
-
9-6602No signal17/2 15/2 17/2Most of his best efforts have come from the front but he just raced in touch when second at Yarmouth (6f) on latest outing, his best show this year; well handicapped if judged on peak 2025 efforts.
-
Daniel G Murphy 11%PFP-5UNo signal25/1Just minor promise in his five points and wouldn't be the obvious answer to this bumper.
-
Olivia Tubb 12%Ed de Giles 10%1523-6No signal9/2 9/2 4/1Won three consecutive times in refitted blinkers last June/July, most recently off today's mark over C&D (good to firm), but made a low-key reappearance three weeks ago and needs that run to have brought him on.

Oisin Murphy 22%Fionn McSharry 13%255220No signal15/8 7/2 31/19Four wins on Tapeta elsewhere, at 5f-7f, all in 2024; has been involved in several tight finishes since December, including for Oisin Murphy at Kempton (6f) in April, and while he's been on much the same mark throughout, he's worth another go over a bare 5f; thereabouts.
-
66/68-No signal22/1 16/1 20/1Two-time chase winner but losing run stretches back to October 2023; off since okay run on the Flat at Listowel last September; poor record when fresh; others preferred.

J J Slevin 13%Eoin Doyle 5%8/3P3-No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Last won at Clonmel in October 2024 off 4lb lower (2m4f, good); posted a decent effort in a handicap chase when last seen at Wexford last July; likely to need this run.
-
177163No signal12/1 8/1 12/1First turf run since September last year; excellent record on AW of late, winning four of her last 10 starts, three at this trip; one place behind Thaloria when third in 7f claimer there when last seen; tough mark back on grass.
-
William Carson 10%Tony Carroll 13%352780No signal25/1 14/1 25/10-23 and after going close in a Lingfield classified in February he's been way off that in three subsequent starts, including when tailed off last time.

Zoe Lewis(7) 13%Thomas Faulkner 12%-18613No signal10/3 13/2 10/3Dual 1m6f AW winner at Wolverhampton this year, both times under Zoe Lewis; did not enjoy run of the race when well-held third there 18 days ago and also has form over this C&D; probably won't be far away.
-
Sean Kirrane 11%Tim Easterby 11%7-9264No signal5/1 5/1 9/2Still 3lb lower than when second of eight at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, but losing run up to 15 and he does seem best at shorter.
-
Jason Watson 13%Michael Appleby 13%062460No signal5/1 11/2 4/123-race maiden who has tried various headgear (including combinations) since joining this yard but it was only today's tongue-tie he sported when close second at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; career-low mark and he's a contender if subsequent efforts can be forgiven.
-
Ben Coen 11%Emmet Mullins 14%667-0No signal18/1 FCST 16/1Big price for all three maiden starts at two (some promise second occasion at Thurles), and again when never sighted on seasonal return in Curragh handicap last month; return to better ground may suit, any market support worth heeding.
-
21120-No signal40/1 9/1 33/1Dual 6f winner (once here) last summer; also suited by 7f but we haven't seen him since a disappointing AW run in September and he probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark.
-
048/8-No signal33/116-race maiden had been running okay in 1m4f AW handicaps last winter; back from a break with stamina to prove.

Tom Marquand 16%William Haggas 23%0-3No signal22/1 12/1 20/1St Mark's Basilica filly who took a big step forward from her debut when a running-on third of six in 7f Yarmouth novice 29 days ago; she's open to further progress, especially over this longer distance.
-
Charles Bishop 10%787-0No signal16/1 14/1 16/1Still unexposed after only four runs but could not justify her prominence in the betting when towards rear throughout last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) and arrives here with a point to prove; cheekpieces removed after one use.
-
Rhys Clutterbuck 11%9549-7No signal25/1 20/1 22/1The first four of his five wins were at Brighton but no success anywhere since May 2024; discouraging record from autumn 2024 onwards.

Faleh Bughenaim 15%Richard Hannon 12%86-No signal12/1 22/1 10/1Did not live up to pedigree when safely held over 7f on both 2yo starts; can probably improve this year but others have much more obvious claims.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%633-49No signal11/1 10/1 9/1Twice placed over 6f on AW late last year; fourth in 5f Cork maiden on reappearance; never in contention on 6f handicap debut at Naas last month; others are more likely for win purposes.
-
4-6122No signalSPFront-runner who is 6-24 on the AW and just 1-18 on turf, though she ran well when second of seven at Bath (5f, firm) 16 days ago and races off the same mark; likely to face competition for the lead, but she comes into this in better heart than most. -
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%773344No signal5/1 4/1 9/2Sole win (from 23 attempts) came in AW classified in January; however, she's run well off this mark in turf handicaps on her last four starts (5f/6f, good/good to firm) and there's every chance she'll be bang there.
-
Jason Watson 13%90-798No signal28/1 33/1 25/1Cheekpieces were on for both of his wins in the summer of 2024 but he's generally struggled in that aid since and trailed the field on three of his last four starts; newly fitted visor needs to prompt a big revival.
-
Cam Hardie 6%-94743No signal4/1 10/3 4/10-7 but she ran her best race yet when third at Ripon (6f, good) 12 days ago; could be in the shake-up if confirming that promise.

J M Sheridan 11%23-2No signal15/8 32/17 31/19Bought for 160,000euros last May; two encouraging opening efforts when hitting the frame in 7f Dundalk maidens late last year; found only the Group 1-entered Glyfada too good at Killarney (1m, good) on return 17 days ago; the one to beat.
-
Jack Jones 12%0-1300No signal20/1 9/1 16/1Off the mark in a 6f maiden here on his reappearance in March; fair third at Southwell later that month but his form has nosedived on turf (handled it fine as a 2yo) on his last two starts (both in cheekpieces which are absent today); hopes pinned on the step up to 7f and the return to AW sparking a revival.

Jack Nicholls 12%Sam England 15%23-774No signal9/1 15/2 17/2Best form has come on AW and he made it 0-6 on turf when fourth of eight, beaten about 4l, at Redcar (7f, good) three weeks ago; however, he kept on well and his last win came over 1m at Newcastle last October; has an each-way shout up in trip.

Oisin Orr 14%538-50No signal14/1 25/1 11/1Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September, but there was a heavy defeat on his return to turf at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) five weeks ago.

Daniel King 10%7505-1No signal10/3 4/1 3/1Impressive handicap chase win at Limerick on latest (22.5f, good); now looks to exploit 12lb lower hurdles mark but hasn't won in this sphere since September 2023; in form, though, and can't discount.
-
Mark Loughnane 10%-08569No signal17/2 15/2 8/1First visit here proved a winning one when taking handicap over this trip (good to firm) last May; flopped on his second go one month later and only bits and pieces of form since; career-low mark and cheekpieces (0-3) make a return after two-year absence.
