-
Sam James 14%7310-9No signal40/1 40/1 33/1Won off 4lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July and perhaps unsuited by softer going in two starts since; only had 12 races and couldn't dismiss.
-
/1/70/No signal33/1 50/1 28/1Old boy had a good career across the codes for the late Edward O'Grady; point-to-pointing lately and just here for the day out.
-
Oliver Stammers 12%Grant Tuer 13%-34325No signal7/1 15/2 13/2Running well over 5f before another respectable show over 6f at York last week; little margin for error off this mark but remains in good nick.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Michael Appleby 13%0843-0No signal12/1 16/1 10/1Finished down the field on stable/seasonal debut at Chester (7.5f) this month but that doesn't tell the full story as he ran well for a long way from his wide draw and was hampered late on; he's dropped to an attractive mark and is just the type his new trainer does very well with.
-
Zak Wheatley 10%Declan Carroll 11%9847-1No signalSP 28/1 33/1Two-time turf winner who returned to form with a reappearance win at Southwell (1m, AW) last month, following wind surgery; back up 4lb she remains on a workable mark and could be thereabouts.
-
874634No signalSP 25/1 16/1Won 7f maiden for Ballydoyle last summer; best AW run came in March when beaten less than a length in third over 6f; missed break when well-held fourth at Navan last time.
-
Kieran Shoemark 14%Ed Walker 16%5No signal5/2 10/3 9/414-1, shaped well when a debut fifth of ten in novice at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago, running on late; this son of Dubawi seems sure to take a step forward over this longer trip; big shout.
-
Dylan Cunha 13%542-22No signal13/8 FCST 3/2Runner-up in three 2m handicaps this spring (good/good to firm), twice at Plumpton and once at Huntingdon; that form isn't anything to go wild about and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she has another big role to play here.
-
Jack Cleary 8%11360/No signal40/1 50/1 33/1Back-to-back Flat winner in 2023, including this race off 2lb lower on good; tailed off over hurdles when last seen over a year ago.
-
Dylan Kidd 4%5-5No signal10/1 11/1 10/120-1 when fifth of six in a Naas bumper in February (1m7f, heavy); well supported in a good-ground bumper at Kelso last month, made the running to three furlongs down, faded into a moderate fifth.
-
Sean Levey 13%Faye Bramley 15%1239-6No signal8/1 14/1 15/2Rediscovered the knack for new stable last year, including two front-running wins over 2m in four-runner Flat races and two places when the action got more competitive; returned to some hurdles form on last two outings in that sphere; a lesser show on Musselburgh Flat in between was over 1m6f but this race may also prove too tough.
-
Ross O'Sullivan 10%1337-0No signalSP 14/1 16/1Back-to-back 7f wins at Leopardstown in August and placed twice over 1m subsequently; this trip looks too sharp.
-
Jonathan Burke 15%James Owen 18%41648-No signal6/4 FCST 6/5Smart 3yo on the Flat; just 1-5 over hurdles, and his habit of racing far too freely remains a worry, but he wasn't beaten far in a valuable novices' handicap at Sandown (2m, good) last month and is in much calmer waters here.
-
Robert Havlin 15%Michael Appleby 13%0-1248No signal11/1 14/1 11/1Gained a first win at Southwell (5f) in January and in good form until only eighth in 5f Chester handicap 23 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back.
-
Mark Winn 11%Paul Midgley 11%26-325No signal12/1One of his two wins came over C&D and was a close fifth here a month ago, backing up two good runs on the AW; possibilities, especially should the new cheekpieces give him a lift.
-
J. P. Murtagh 11%21350-No signalSP FCST 10/1Prominent racer did well when going handicapping (on straight tracks) last term, placed efforts either side of 5f win at Navan; form tailed off at the back-end; off seven months; poorly drawn.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Jack Jones 12%33/11-No signal5/2 11/4 5/2Won twice over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good) and twice on the Flat in 2025; looked as good as ever when second on the Flat this month, after a break, and is respected, albeit the nagging concern is that he ran poorly on his only previous visit to Fakenham.
-
Alex Harvey 10%7P1/4-No signal16/1 17/2 16/1Ran only twice in 2025, won at Kelso on the first occasion, poor at Cartmel on the second; suited by good ground; may need the run.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%Michael Appleby 13%1-7760No signal22/1 18/1 22/1Group 3 winner at Ascot (6f, soft) last October and he's versatile ground-wise; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't been at the top of his game on his four runs this year, in handicaps on the last two occasions, and he needs to turn things around in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied cheekpieces.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Richard Hannon 12%644-48No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Lightly raced 3yo who appears to be on a fair mark judged on her novice form; still early days in handicaps but she was merely eighth of 12 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago on her first attempt in this sphere.
-
795F-4No signal11/1 9/1 11/1Needs to eliminate jumping errors; fourth behind a stablemate of Justicialism on latest; needs to find a bit extra.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Ralph Beckett 19%5-5552No signal9/2 5/1 4/1Blinkered on four of his last five starts; flopped when 5-4 favourite behind Elysian Flame at Beverley (2m, good to soft) in April but this month's second of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good; made most and rallied well) was his closest finish since 2yo and gives some renewed hope.
-
Eoghan Finegan 10%00003-No signal9/2 13/2 7/2Out of his depth in maidens, always at big odds; finished second in a point-to-point when with Derek O'Connor; inauspicious start to handicaps at Clonmel; better when third over a longer trip here last time; could go close if jumping more fluently
-
4-3680No signalSP FCST 9/1Last win was in late 2024, but was second over 7f at last year's Galway festival and some good AW runs over the winter; has much lower mark on turf.
-
Sean Flanagan 10%Barry Connell 12%312/0-No signal2/1 11/4 2/1Won a Gowran maiden hurdle and Fairyhouse novice in 2024; weakened over 22.5f on handicap hurdle debut at Ballinrobe on sole start in 2025; long layoff to overcome on chase debut but worth a market check.
-
Dale Swift 8%Seb Spencer 8%—No signal100/1 33/1 100/123,000gns yearling; half-brother to winners Don Chicco (Italian 6f-1m Group 2; RPR 110) and Hidden Happiness (Swedish 6f 2yo); dam, unraced half-sister to smart 1m-1m2f winner Khairaat, is out of a half-sister to 1m4f Group 2 winner Maraahel; the market can guide for this son of Ubettabelieveit.
-
Mark Winn 11%Martin Todhunter 11%2603-0No signal25/1 40/1 25/1Last won in August 2024; placed in three of eight starts last term and it was a hot race in which she was well beaten at York (40-1) on 2026 return; 15lb below peak mark but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly.
-
Oliver Stammers 12%Charlie Johnston 13%7-1604No signal18/1 16/1 18/1Industrious and dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f but turf strike-rate is 1-19; not discredited on latest start (1m5f) but others are preferred.
-
Wesley Joyce 6%069-03No signalSP 10/1 17/2Made the breakthrough over 6f, but her three wins last term were all over 5f, two of them at Bellewstown where she had a good comeback run in April.
- B
-
Luke McAteer 8%151302No signal11/1 13/2 11/1Dual winner on the AW at 10.5f-1m4f in February/March; put a poor Bellewstown run behind him when taking the runner-up spot at Leopardstown (1m1f, yielding to soft) last time; unproven at this trip.
-
Charlie Hammond 17%Max Young 2%58-No signal50/1 66/1 40/1Tailed off when 100-1 for good-ground Fontwell bumper on rules debut in September; not seen since.
-
W. J. Lee 16%3-32No signal6/5 32/17 11/10Good quality NH performer, including when good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; took the runner-up spot in a Ballinrobe maiden (1m5f, good to yielding) last time when 7l behind the winner; must carry top weight for Flat handicap debut but big chance.
-
Mr J P Berry 7%J A Berry 5%30P-No signal16/1Remote third on debut in a Clonmel bumper a year ago; beaten 68l and pulled up in two maiden hurdles since; off since January; a repeat of that debut run would give him a place chance in this weak race.
-
William Pyle 9%834-90No signal22/1 16/1 20/1Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%Marco Botti 16%—No signal13/2 8/1 13/2Second foal; Bated Breath half-sister to 7f AW winner Galileo Charm (RPR 68); dam unraced sister to useful 7f/7.7f winner One Nation; stable off the mark with 2yos (second time out); check the betting.
-
Calum Hogan 7%6-090No signal100/1 FCST 50/1Well beaten in a point, a bumper and two maiden hurdles starts; no apparent chance.
-
Tim Easterby 11%15-731No signal14/1 15/2 12/1Her second win in ten starts when a cosy winner at Newmarket (1m, good); 5lb higher and that was a Class 5 event, but this longer trip might eke out further improvement.
-
4No signal10/3 7/2 10/3One of two for trainer; weakened into fourth of six in what looks like a strong Naas maiden (6f, good); should improve for that and no surprise to see her in the mix.
-
J M Sheridan 11%7No signal9/1 10/1 17/2One of two for trainer; finished a short head in front of High Morals on debut at the Curragh (6f, good), but 4.25l behind Ischgl; likely to improve over that first run, but needs to.
-
Niall Moore 7%J Morrison 1%6060-2No signal6/1Ordinary form over hurdles; returned from a break with an excellent first run over fences at Limerick, finished second despite making a few slight errors; strong chance if that improvement is maintained on his return to hurdling.
-
Ismail Mohammed 12%—No signal40/1 28/1 33/13,000gns foal, £27,000 yearling, £15,000 breeze-up 2yo; by Ubettabelieveit; fifth foal; half-brother to 6f-8.6f 2yo winner Isobar Wind (including AW; RPR 69); dam 5.7f/6f winner (including 2yo; 78), half-sister to useful 6f/7f winner Shimmering Dawn; stable had a newcomer win at the Craven meeting; not discounted.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Kevin Ryan 12%2217-4No signal5/1 11/2 5/1Steadily progressive at two (bagged 5f Musselburgh maiden) and he resumed from nine months off with a good fourth of 14 over C&D last month; possibilities.
-
3No signal13/8 31/19 3/2Havana Grey filly was a warm order for her debut at Navan over 5f on yielding when outpaced late on to finish third; improvement likely upped in trip and has race experience; big player.
-
Sam Ewing 12%Noel Meade 11%2122-4No signal7/2 7/2 10/3Dual-purpose Flat winner; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 120; promise in first two chase attempts, earning a rating of 117; beaten 17l into second of 12 behind talented Supersundae here (22.5f, gd-yld) in April; 9l fourth of 10 at Killarney (2m5f, gd-yld) 22 days ago; leading claims.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%11No signal7/2 11/4 10/3Won on debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in April and again had something to spare when following up at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); she has the potential to be better than her opening mark and is one to consider.
-
Jack Quinlan 15%Neil King 22%1432-4No signal6/1 11/2 6/1Twice made the frame at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) for Brian Ellison last month; left that yard after a disappointing Flat run but was in contention before awkward jumps at last two flights proved costly on recent stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); swaps usual cheekpices for first-time visor; can make her presence felt.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%James Tate 19%334732No signal9/2 9/4 9/2In the frame in four of her six runs since joining James Tate, keeping on well for second at Kempton (1m) 11 days ago; more to prove on turf though and others look stronger.
-
Nicola Burns 7%R P Burns 6%/145-0No signal17/2 17/2 8/1Added his fifth career win with a heavy-ground C&D success in September off 6lb lower; a lot of improvement needed based on his return at Gowran in April.
-
Danny Gilligan 12%Cian Collins 9%26745-No signal10/1 8/1 10/1Still a maiden after 22 starts over hurdles; hard to be confident against that background, although recent form is quite respectable.
-
Paddy Cleary 5%Gordon Elliott 18%35345-No signal22/1 17/2 22/1Exposed hurdler 1-14 in that sphere and rated 113; his win came over 3m2f but he's effective at this shorter trip; however, not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding and lacks a recent run; others appeal more.
-
Jason Hart 14%Stuart Williams 13%1-5587No signal66/1 25/1 66/1Won at Southwell (1m, AW) in December and very close fifth at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February; however, down the field on both starts since (7f, AW/good) and needs to leave those performances well behind.
-
Keith Donoghue 13%Gavin Cromwell 11%120P0-No signal13/2 15/2 6/1Dual hurdle winner up to 2m4f; best chase form last winter was on heavy ground; best hurdles form also on soft/heavy; new headgear combination.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%63140-No signal12/1 16/1 11/1Won a novice at Hamilton (1m, good) last July and back on the scoresheet at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) in September on third handicap start; failed to kick on subsequently but had excuses for those two runs; there can be be optimism that 1m4f will suit; could go well in first-time tongue-tie on return.
-
0667-No signal50/1 33/1 50/1Never in contention when a remote seventh in Down Royal event won by Kalsman; not an obvious candidate.
-
Harry Vigors(5) 12%985-65No signal10/1 15/2 9/1Scored over C&D last May for Brian Ellison; yet to fire for his new yard in handicaps at Wolverhampton (1m4f) and Lingfield (2m) this spring though.
- C
-
Callum Rodriguez 20%Edward Bethell 17%26/5-4No signal4/1 6/1 4/1Ran just once last year (last April) and also unable to pose a threat on her comeback at Newcastle this March; however, she's on a handy mark on her 2024 exploits and may be able to rediscover that form at some point.
-
5900-0No signal17/2 13/2 8/1Six-race maiden has come up short in first three AW handicaps at 10.5f-1.4f; failed to beat a rival when last seen in January; hood goes on now upped in trip but others more likely.
-
Alan O'Sullivan 10%2No signal2/1 5/2 32/17Maiden on the Flat after 18 attempts, rated a lowly 51; now looks a different proposition after a promising introduction to hurdling at Clonmel; despite suffering interference, stayed on well over a similar trip to this, form strongly advertised by the winner Minella Diamond in winning easily at Limerick on Thursday
-
Tim Easterby 11%8No signal100/1 66/1 80/140-1 and never in the hunt on his recent Redcar debut (6f, good); may need more time.
-
/096/9No signal150/1 50/1 125/1Modest performer and only making up the numbers here.
-
Zak Wheatley 10%Declan Carroll 11%395-01No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Up in grade after winning a Class 5 at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) but had dropped to a tempting mark; wouldn't count the 6lb rise against him.
-
Sam Ewing 12%Noel Meade 11%/PP0P-No signal14/1 20/1 12/1Four-time hurdles winner achieved a peak rating of 129 in that sphere; 0-8 over fences and rated 114; pulled up at Fairyhouse on final 2025 start, and badly out of form over hurdles before that.
-
Charlie Maggs 14%Tom Gretton 11%/PP2-5No signal15/2 9/2 7/10-6 over fences; seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month but was only third best on merit there and was tailed off on his latest outing; 1lb wrong here.
-
090-02No signal5/1 4/1 5/1Attracted support down to 15-2 at Down Royal, let down badly by his jumping; much more like it when second in a 19-runner contest at Punchestown last time; has an edge over Laurie Blue on that running and holds a leading chance.
-
Daniel King 10%A. J. Martin 7%15386-No signal5/1 7/1 10/3Point winner is 1-6 over hurdles and rated 115; not a bad effort over 2m in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest and shaped like further would suit; dam related to a couple of useful chasers and yard coming into form; could go well.
-
Reese Holohan 10%Mark Fahey 13%—No signal50/1 40/1 50/1Magna Grecia colt; half-brother to winners Paddy's Day (5f/6f inc 2yo/AW; RPR 95), Chica Guerrera (7f 2yo/1m4f; 81) and Shifting Gold (1m-1m4f; 74); dam 6f AW winner (71), half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Duntle; others preferred.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%Ed Walker 16%5170-7No signal15/2 9/1 6/1All races at 6f, winning a Newbury fillies' maiden last August before being highly tried on her next two starts; disappointing on her seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell last month; drops to 5f on a recovery mission.
-
J M Sheridan 11%—No signal4/1 10/3 4/1Olympiad filly cost 65,000USD as a yearling and 300,000USD at the breeze-ups; seventh foal; half-sister to US winners Spirit Maker (1m-1m1f turf inc 2yo) and Not Guilty (5f AW); dam once-raced half-sister to US 8.5f Grade 2 winner Protonico, is granddaughter of US 8.5f Grade 1 winner Wild Spirit; very interesting debutante.
-
David Noonan 8%Henry Oliver 8%1762-4No signal5/1 7/2 5/1Good-ground specialist who was a course winner in 2024 and returns here after two good efforts this spring, the latter a close fourth at Aintree (2m4f, good) 16 days ago; respected.
-
Jake Dickson 12%Tim Easterby 11%10-210No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Grand old veteran who can be forgiven his defeat in a Class 2 at York last time, having won at this level the time before at Beverley (2lb lower); had 119 races and yet this is his first visit here.
-
Paddy Cody 5%Eoin Doyle 5%—No signal11/1 17/2 11/1Vadamos gelding; dam unplaced 1m-1m3f (RPR 60), sister to French 1m2f winner Melbourne Shuffle, half-sister to Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner Pichola Dance; yard 0-8 in bumpers last five seasons and tongue tied but still worth a market check.
-
E McNamara 10%/9607-No signal33/1 28/1 33/1Not much to shout about in form for previous trainers; tailed off on handicap debut at Navan (1m2f, yielding) and not much better in a Gowran maiden (1m2f, heavy); others preferred.
-
Shane Markey 4%0-No signal100/1 FCST 50/1Completely tailed off first time out in a 2m4f maiden at Down Royal seven weeks ago.
- D
-
William Carson 10%Gihan Arnolda 11%1-1235No signal28/1 14/1 28/1Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut.
-
Charlie Hammond 17%Max Young 2%4797-PNo signal40/1 14/1 28/1Showed nothing more than glimmers of promise in her three qualifying races (2m-2m4f), albeit she had an excuse when pulled up last time (stumbled and lost action); makes handicap debut in a weak race, though, and the new trip may enable improvement.
-
—No signal33/126,000gns foal and 25,000gns yearling; half-sister to 11.4f winner Schemaya (RPR 83); dam French Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner (91), half-sister to French Group-placed 1m winner Like A Charm and German 7f Listed winner Shehna; market can split trainer's two.
-
Jonathan Burke 15%James Owen 18%6U086-No signalevn 5/6 Evs0-8 in bumpers and 0-4 over hurdles when based in Ireland but belied 200-1 odds when very respectable sixth of 19 in good-quality Naas maiden (2m, soft to heavy) on latest outing in December; should be okay on the much quicker ground here and new stable tends to do well with new recruits.
-
Daniel King 10%46PP-8No signal20/1 20/1 18/1Modest strike-rate of 3-39 over fences with last win coming over C&D in August 2024; jumped badly when pulled up on final two starts in 2025; possibly needed the run at Limerick ten days ago.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Des Donovan 8%70-933No signal10/311-race maiden but she has been competitive in her last two handicaps and should remain so; could have more to offer at the trip; each-way shout once again.
-
Jason Hart 14%60-071No signal6/1 11/2 6/1Returned to form to win big-field handicap at York (6f, good) this month on third stable start, going one better than in the same race 12 months previously; a 6lb rise shouldn't be enough to prevent another big run.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%David Menuisier 13%2No signal5/2 7/4 5/2Promising start to his career when second of ten, beaten 5.5l, in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket last month (1m, good; newcomers race); the winner of that race is a smart prospect but the results of those in behind have been mixed; open to plenty of improvement and he looks a strong contender.
-
Sean Kirrane 11%Tim Easterby 11%0No signal125/1 66/1 100/125-1 and very green when 13th of 15 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good) on his debut 13 days ago; this son of Invincible Army can take a step forward.
-
Jason Hart 14%Robert Cowell 13%1715-5No signal12/1 13/2 12/1A dual 5f winner for Simon and Ed Crisford at two; made an encouraging start for new yard after seven months off when fifth of 14 over C&D last month so enters calculations.
-
Conor Cusack 8%P J F Murphy 5%901391No signal11/2 4/1 11/2Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his ninth win when easily scoring over 1m6f at Sligo last time (yielding to soft), benefitting from a truly-run race; up 8lb but in the mix.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Tom Ward 11%43-067No signal10/1 17/2 10/1On a losing run and he was tried in blinkers when a below-par seventh of ten in 1m6f handicap at Goodwood 30 days ago; others appeal more.
-
Ricky Doyle 8%6556-7No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Yet to reach the first four, relatively unexposed; may do better here on handicap debut
-
Sylvia O'Donnell 14%P F O'Donnell 12%1130-8No signalSP FCST 20/1Course specialist won on successive days at last September's festival (7f/1m on heavy); well beaten on return; opposable at present.
-
TBA6No signal40/1 25/1 33/1First reserve; beaten 8.5l on debut over 5f at Cork on soft, hanging right; others preferred.
-
K. R. Burke 20%2-5142No signal9/2 11/2 9/2In form and although beaten 8l into second at Hamilton (1m1f, good) the winner looked way ahead of her mark; has finished runner-up over C&D and can run well again.
- E
-
A. J. Martin 7%322/00No signal33/1 25/1 33/1Seven-race maiden in Britain for Charlie Hills, runner-up in AW handicaps final two starts in 2024; yet to match that form in Ireland; the tongue tie is new.
-
098000No signal28/1 22/1 28/1Four-time winner over 1m4f back in the day in Britain; nothing like that sort of form for current yard, mark rapidly descending of late but 5lb outside the handicap here; declared reserve in 7.25 at Down Royal on Friday.
-
55No signal22/1 16/1 20/1One of two for trainer; just a respectable fifth of ten at Cork (5f, soft) and filled the same spot at Redcar upped to 6f last time (good); likely to improve over further in the future.
-
Eoghan Finegan 10%/896P-No signal12/1 16/1 11/1Down the field in two recent Flat outings; hurdles form is unconvincing; cheekpieces now.
-
5/4-15No signal28/1 28/1 22/1Smart staying handicapper for Mick and David Easterby in 2021 when competitive at some of the top meetings; only his second run since when winning over 2m at Beverley (good to soft; 2lb higher today) in April, while 1m5f helps to explain his last of five at Hamilton four weeks ago; not dismissed.
-
David Nolan 12%Paul Midgley 11%3-2730No signal5/1 15/2 9/2Ex-Irish mare; ran a cracker on her stable debut at Newcastle in March (5f), beaten a nose by a well-handicapped opponent; mixed fortunes in three runs since; others may have her measure today.
-

Rhys Elliott 7%Jim Goldie 14%7448-0No signal66/1 33/1 66/1Hamilton specialist who was tailed off there on his reappearance a fortnight ago (pulled hard); hard to fancy on the back of that but it may have got the freshness out of him and he's on his last winning mark; not a forlorn hope on his first visit here.
