-
Oisin Murphy 22%Michael Bell 13%53-322No signal2/1 10/3 32/170-17 but he's finished in the first three on 11 occasions, including in each of his three starts this year; beaten a neck here over 8.5f last summer and he's a solid contender once again.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%854-53No signal33/1 20/1 33/1Ex-German; well held in two maidens for Marco Botti last year and a similar story in two novice events for this stable; gelded since last seen in February and has cheekpieces back on for his handicap debut, so he's worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
-
Luke McAteer 8%A Oliver 11%—No signal50/1 25/1 40/1Sixth foal; half-sister to winners Jakajaro (Listed-placed 5f/6f inc 2yo/AW; RPR 109) and Stand Strong (2m AW; 80); unraced dam closely related to UAE Derby winner Khawlah (dam of Derby winner Masar), half-sister to 1m2f Group 2 winner Vancouverite
-
W. M. Lordan 16%Aidan O'Brien 22%—No signal9/2 7/2 9/2Seventh foal; Justify colt is a brother to Statuette, who won a 6f Group 2 race here as a juvenile on her second and final start, closely related to Group 1 winner Tenebrism, half-brother to Classic winner Henri Matisse, and two other winners; dam a dual Group 1 winner; superb pedigree, Ryan Moore on Giant Sequoia.
-
Phil McEntee 11%19-570No signalSPLast five wins have been over 5f, the most recent at Wolverhampton (AW) in December; below best in four starts since and now returns to turf for the first time since October 2024 folllowing a 113-day break.
-
Luke McAteer 8%David Marnane 10%3-2131No signal13/2 5/1 6/1Progressive front-runner won Dundalk maiden, then finished third on handicap debut behind Amiata (6f, Naas) before reversing form with that rival back at today's trip at Cork last month, seeing it out well on soft; 5lb worse off with Amiata but every chance of confirming form and won't mind rain.
-
1/014-No signal11/2 7/1 11/2Unexposed 5yo who won under owner-jockey Amber Jackson-Fennell on hurdle debut at Exeter (2m, good to soft) in March; below that form over 2m5f in April (raced too freely) but remains open to improvement on this handicap debut.
-
Joshua Thompson 12%Micky Hammond 10%76P68-No signal12/1 18/1 9/1Won at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but form has slumped badly since and he has shown no sign of a revival in two runs since returning from a break in April.
-
Brendan Powell 11%Joe Tizzard 13%11442-No signal9/4 11/4 7/4Prolific between November 2024 and June 2025, with his four wins in that spell including two here; his progress seemed to stall subsequently but he ran well when second of five to a progressive winner at Chepstow (2m, good) last time and could be in the mix; effective on good to soft.
-
W. J. Lee 16%66-49No signal11/2 FCST 5/1Ran twice for Paddy Twomey at two; made a good start for Gillian Scott when fourth of 12 in a 6f maiden here in March, running on well in the closing stages; not beaten far in mid-field here on handicap debut; could go well at a decent price.
-
Colin Keane 16%G. M. Lyons 16%4-5514No signal11/1 7/1 10/15f Navan maiden winner and gained first handicap win at Naas in April (6f, good), beating Bad Boy Rizz 1.5l; solid Cork effort off 7lb higher when fourth to all-the-way winner Allsortz over this trip (soft); considered.
-
Rowan Scott 11%Nigel Tinkler 11%57-934No signal9/2 11/2 7/2Denied a clear run when third over C&D (good) in April and he had the same issue when fourth of 13 at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; unproven on slow ground; could be bang there if getting the breaks.
-
Colin Keane 16%Edward Lynam 11%/609-0No signal28/1 14/1 28/1Handicap debut over C&D in April was poor; Keane booked now, so maybe not the forlorn hope she seems.
-
James Ryan 7%T G McCourt 7%70-86No signal10/1 11/1 17/2Ignored in the betting on handicap debut in a 6f event here in April; kept on to finish sixth of 21, showing enough to suggest an each-way chance now.
-
Harry Reed 14%Michael Blake 12%P3P1-1No signal10/3 5/2 3/1Useful on testing ground on the Flat early in career and this 4yo has tapped back into that promise over hurdles this spring, winning a maiden at Hereford (2m, good) in April on his second stable start and following up in a C&D novice (good); trainer won this with Clearance, after whom this race is named, in 2022 and 2024; intriguing candidate back in a handicap.
-
2-6222No signal2/1 6/5 32/17Has had plenty of chances, runner-up on four of six maiden runs over shorter trips, most recently on turf return when clear second over 1m2f at Naas in late April; good chance she'll get this trip (Irish Oaks entry) but will need to improve for it.
-
D K Weld 13%0/No signal66/1 50/1 66/1Camelot filly; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 73) half-sister to winners Ashraf (useful 1m/9.4f) and Ashqar (2m hurdle); absent since finishing last of 13 on debut for Dermot Weld in Dundalk AW maiden over two years ago so likely best watched.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%John James Feane 10%—No signal22/1 18/1 20/1Failed to sell for E240,000 as a yearling; eighth foal; closely related to US Grade 3 turf winner Queen Picasso; half-brother to four winners including Aclaim (6f-1m inc 2yo/AW/Group 1; 118) and Aimeric (Listed-placed 11.6f-1m5f; 114); dam 7f winner.
-
Jimmy Dalton 6%A. Slattery 11%554-71No signalSP FCST 15/2Obtained plenty of experience at two; won over 1m at Gowran on second start this season; stable may have a stronger candidate in another last-time-out winner Cisterna
-
Harry Smith 14%Declan Carroll 11%43/013No signal16/1 11/1 16/1Made all on AW debut and second start back from a long absence at Southwell (1m, AW) in April, and third there since (1m) in a race that is working out very well; won on turf in 2024 and he's a strong candidate if his good recent form continues back on grass.
-
Nigel Tinkler 11%240-70No signal8/1 9/2 8/1Won three last year, including at Ayr (5f, good to soft; 13-8 favourite) in July; yet to threaten this year, restless in the stalls at Musselburgh (5f) in April; easing mark - sub 70 for first time in a while - helpful, but tough to recommend at present.
- B
-
321-23No signal7/2 5/1 7/2Navan 2yo maiden winner has returned with two good runs in handicaps, chasing home Amiata at Naas (6f, good) and never quite on terms third to front-running Allsortz at Cork (soft); stiffer 5f should suit.
-
Murray Dodd 12%Max Young 2%32-442No signal5/1 4/1 5/1Only three completed when runner-up last week at Plumpton (2m4f, good) and that extended his losing sequence under rules to 36.
-
Liam Harrison 11%Emma Lavelle 18%62P5-3No signal8/1 4/1 15/2Yet to add to his maiden hurdle win in 2023 but fairly lightly raced in the meantime and ran quite well when third at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month; still unexposed over this sort of trip; raced mainly on good ground; could have a say.
-
William Cox 5%Tom Dascombe 12%4314-No signalSP FCST 14/1Won a novice on the AW at Lingfield (7f) in November and posted a solid effort on her handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in December; off since and now steps up in trip with a hood applied on this switch back to turf; broke out of stalls and withdrawn at Lingfield last month (18-1 at the time).
-
Tom Marquand 16%Alan King 16%660-14No signal7/4 7/4 31/19Showed improved form when winning at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; runner-up has won twice since) in April but he didn't settle at Haydock (1m4f, good) 25 days ago; this drop back in trip could suit and he's open to further progress.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%7-8062No signal11/4 FCST 5/2Just three wins from his 47 starts, the latest back in June 2024; however, he was short-headed off this career-low mark at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) last Wednesday and could be in the mix once more; versatile ground-wise.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%920-67No signal7/1 3/1 7/1Half of his wins have come over C&D and he finished sixth (Fortamour third) in this race in 2024; runner-up in added blinkers at Hamilton (6f, soft; 11-2) last September, but has failed to sparkle since (0-3); easing mark and a return to Ripon are the positives.
-
Ethan Tindall 10%7-6420No signal9/1 13/2 9/14-29; runner-up off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f; beaten a neck) in February; in rear throughout at York (6f; 40-1) on return from a three-month break; this is slightly easier (Class 5) and Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb.
-
Conor O'Farrell 12%Jimmy Frost 3%7P097-No signal25/1 22/1 20/1Has poor claims on rules form and is 8lb out of weights but may improve for this switch to chasing, being a point winner.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%/P8-11No signal8/11 9/17 8/11In a first-time tongue-tie when winning easily on last week's chase debut at Worcester (2m, good) and overcame a scare at the last flight to comfortably exploit the same mark back over hurdles at Southwell on Tuesday; carries a penalty but looks very well in.
-
Rian Corcoran(5) 16%David Pipe 16%4126-5No signal9/2 15/2 4/1Won at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March but subsequent efforts have lacked the same dash; needs a revival.
-
Ruth Carr 12%7-1129No signal11/2 7/2 5/1Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back.
-
Sheila Lewis 7%P32P-3No signal7/2 5/2 3/1Maiden who has inconsistent chase form (P2P3) but looks one of the likelier players provided he backs up latest effort, namely creditable third at Warwick (3m); runs off the same mark.
-
Jack Quinlan 15%Neil King 22%432-44No signal25/1 17/2 22/1Has the form to get in contention but she had a shocker when tailed off in a first-time visor at Fakenham on Sunday; cheekpieces soon return.
-
Bryan Smart 12%5-7269No signal12/1 14/1 10/1More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f.
-
Jack Dace(5) 10%05-000No signal10/1 11/1 17/2Has won just once since April 2024, at Sandown (5f, good; from 6lb higher) last July; joined this trainer soon after for 15,000gns, and runner-up on stable debut; nowhere near his best in three starts this year, including when twelfth of 20 at York (6f; 50-1) latest.
-
Chris Hayes 9%Gordon Elliott 18%900-11No signal11/2 11/2 5/1Three undistinguished runs on turf last season; different proposition this term since being gelded; won over 5f at Dundalk on AW/ handicap/seasonal debut in first-time tongue-tie; got up late to share the honours over the same trip at Chepstow 13 days ago; may find further improvement at this distance.
-
Shane Foley 11%—No signal17/2 16/1 7/1E120,000 Breeze Up purchase; Blackbeard colt is the first foal out of a mare who ran only twice; solid American pedigree.
-
David Rees 9%4No signal22/1 16/1 20/1Related to several winners, including Dare To Endeavour (useful 2m4f-3m chase); 100-1 when soundly beaten on hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; step up in trip should suit but likely one for longer term.
-
3355-5No signal22/1 22/1 20/1Beaten about 28l when fifth of six here (3m1f, good) last month and is now 0-6 over hurdles; seemed to be travelling okay in the lead before bad jumping error knocked the stuffing out of him that day and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but, nevertheless, others have stronger claims; raced only on good/good to soft ground.
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%333No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Third all three starts, the first two at this venue, over 5f on heavy and 6f on soft; beaten almost 8l behind the subsequent Marble Hill winner Great Barrier Reef on the second occasion; beaten almost as far behind the smart-looking Confucius at Naas last time; his experience should be an asset but he needs to raise his game to win a maiden.
- C
-
Cam Hardie 6%Paul Midgley 11%0460-2No signal11/2 4/1 5/1Ex William Haggas; no win since his juvenile days, but has twice ran well over this C&D, including when fourth (from 4lb higher) last August; no match for stablemate Novello Lad at Doncaster (6f, good to soft; 25-1) recently but that comeback run ought to have him spot on for this.
-
Reese Holohan 10%Paul W Flynn 9%455No signal14/1 9/1 14/1Two respectable Dundalk runs; fair effort at Leopardstown on turf debut; useful 7lb claimed; not without a chance.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%4No signal8/1 11/2 8/1Brings the worst form having trailed home last of four in Carlisle event (5f) won by a smart prospect; achieved little on the figures and needs to improve sharply.
-
Jack Callan 14%Hugo Palmer 13%—No signal18/1 17/2 18/165,000gns yearling; by Dark Angel and first foal of Listed-placed 6f winner (including 2yo; RPR 102), from family of Lowther/Falmouth stakes winner Nahoodh; stable is operating at a good strike-rate with 2yos this term; possibilities.
-
Tim Easterby 11%-61612No signal7/2 5/1 7/2Pushed out under hands and heels to score at Musselburgh (5f, good; from 4lb lower) last month, but was no match for stablemate Marajito over C&D (good, 9-2) last week; remains in fine fettle though, and has a C&D win to her name, so she ought to be thereabouts.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Mark Rimell 12%-85137No signal12/1 8/1 12/1Unraced on ground slower than good; off the mark for this yard when winning over C&D in April and he ran another solid race when third of ten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) next time; however, he was reported to have ran flat at Newmarket 19 days ago and needs to bounce back; hood removed.
-
Ryan Moore 24%Aidan O'Brien 22%—No signal6/4 FCST 18/13190,000gns foal, 500,000gns yearling; fifth foal; half-brother to Group 1-winning sprinter Arizona Blaze, and two other winners; dam, by top-class sprinter Equiano, was a 1m2f AW winner at a modest level.
-
Tom Hutsby 4%David Bridgwater 10%1232-2No signal5/2 7/2 5/2Has continued to run well since his Huntingdon win in Februaray (2m4f, soft), last time giving everything in a narrow defeat over C&D; 2lb higher with Tom Hutsby again aboard; should have every chance.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%210-84No signal7/1 17/2 13/2Enjoyed a successful 2025, winning three times, including over C&D; both runs this term have been here, more encouraging effort latest when not quite staying 7f trip; just 2lb above winning C&D mark last summer.
-
Jamie Powell 8%M D O'Callaghan 12%—No signal14/1 9/1 12/120,000gns yearling; third foal; closely related to a winner in France and Greece; dam an Italian 6f Listed winner, half-sister to an Italian Group-placed winner; relatively cheap purchase, has a decent sprinting pedigree and is in good hands.
-
Freddie Keighley 12%Paul Nicholls 22%121P-6No signal5/1 FCST 9/2Highly progressive over fences in the first half of last season, winning here four times (2m, good to soft/good); 2m5f here appeared to stretch him last month following some time off; has a lower mark to work with back over hurdles and he could play a leading role back down in trip.
-
Richie McLernon 13%Faye Bramley 15%66No signal50/1 28/1 40/1Has shown some ability on the Flat (albeit without being placed) and wasn't disgraced when sixth on last month's hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) but was well beaten after racing too freely at Bangor 11 days ago.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Ivan Furtado 10%1806-9No signal22/1 20/1 22/1Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last July; three lesser runs followed and no return to form on his reappearance in April; he could improve for that latest effort but his claims aren't compelling.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Brian Meehan 9%—No signal12/1 16/1 10/1£90,000 yearling; Blackbeard half-brother to Italian 1m 2yo winner Monte Vista, out of maiden (RPR 63) half-sister to Group-placed 6f 2yo/7f scorer Kitty Kiernan; suitably bred but stable is 0-7 with 2yos this term.
-
A. Slattery 11%7-0531No signal15/2 6/1 15/2Uneven form last season; has improved gradually this season; stayed well over an extended 7f to open his account at Roscommon; possibly vulnerable over this trip off 5lb higher mark.
-
Cam Hardie 6%John Mackie 11%06633No signal8/1 10/1 8/1Has posted third-place finishes over 1m at Southwell (AW) and Carlisle (soft) since switched to handicaps; has place claims as things stand and wouldn't need to improve much to open his account.
-
Harry Atkins 11%57402-No signal17/2 9/1 7/1Not the easiest to predict and well held on both starts on the AW since finishing a good second over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in March, ridden by Harry Atkins who can claim his 5lb allowance here; will not mind any rain and not out of this if in the mood, with one of his two hurdling wins coming over C&D.
-
1-2050No signal11/1 12/1 11/1Has shown his best form at Dundalk and needs to improve on this season's turf form; best placing on turf was in a 1m claimer at Gowran; big price when in rear over 7f here 11 days ago.
-
Jack Andrews 12%Tom Ellis 13%/FPP-PNo signal22/1 40/1 14/1Won a two-runner maiden point in March 2025 but failed to complete his next five points; makes very limited appeal on rules debut.
-
Ned Fox 9%Matt Sheppard 12%6766P-No signal125/1 80/1 100/1Unplaced in all seven Irish points, most recently when pulled up on soft ground in April; can only be watched on this rules debut.
-
J. P. Murtagh 11%94-6No signal5/1 4/1 9/2Ran twice at two; not disgraced at 100-1 when ninth of 15 over 7f at this venue; too keen at Galway when fourth of eight behind Constitution River; looked a possible future winner when keeping fourth in a 16-runner 6f maiden here in March on seasonal/ stable debut.
-
W. M. Lordan 16%A Oliver 11%223No signal15/2 11/2 7/1Lightly raced gelding posted good second on debut in 6f maiden here in April (soft), not quite as good but solid runs both starts since, hanging left at Cork and plenty of speed dropped to 5f at Dundalk last week when third in ordinary maiden; respected on handicap debut, rain would suit.
-
Phil McEntee 11%163007No signal20/1 11/1 18/1All five wins have been on the AW over further than this, the latest at Wolverhampton in January; below his best in three starts since finishing third there in February and he's 0-15 on turf.
- D
-
Leigh Roche 6%W. McCreery 9%849-No signal50/1 33/1 50/1Couple of hard-luck stories from three maiden runs last October; potential improver entering handicaps, but may need this.
-
36352-No signal7/2 5/2 10/3Placed twice over shorter this year, runner-up at Fontwell (2m5f) last time; one of the main players on recent form but is no certainty to go one better, being 0-23 overall and not a certain stayer back up in trip.
-
Paul W Flynn 9%0-8149No signal25/1 16/1 25/1Dundalk win in January (1m) seems to have been a flash in the pan; started his career with two poor runs on turf.
-
452-80No signal14/1 16/1 14/1No wins last season but strong form in defeat in big staying handicaps; fourth in the amateur handicap at Galway, fifth in the Irish Cesarewitch and signed off with a fine second in the Cesarewitch; recent run here was over an inadequate trip, more expected of here and seemingly McMonagle's pick.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%594-04No signal5/1 7/1 4/1Five-race maiden; best form when fourth on two occasions, including at Hamilton (upped to 1m; handicap debut) latest start; again has frame possibilities but needs progress to get off the mark.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%James Owen 18%—No signal66/1 40/1 50/1January foal; filly by Too Darn Hot; second foal; dam 5f AW winner (including 2yo; RPR 85), closely related to 6f 2yo winner El Hadeeyah, out of 6f Listed winning half-sister to Listed-placed winners Rising Talent (1m-1m2f) and Laurentina (6f/7f 2yo); watch the betting on debut.
-
Isabelle Ryder 16%Jamie Snowden 26%21PU-UNo signal11/8 18/13 5/4Five-time hurdle winner but 0-6 over fences; hasn't had much go his way since scoring in October but he was still in contention when unseating three out over fences last time in a race won by Dunkerque; now 10lb better off with that rival and he should be competitive given a change in fortune; forecast rain is a concern though.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%433294No signal12/1 11/1 12/1Beaten 19 times since winning in December 2024 on her second start; positive signs at the beginning of this campaign but she hasn't backed up those performances on her last two starts; may again be vulnerable.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%507-21No signal15/8 31/19 32/17Off the mark over hurdles at seventh attempt, with ready success at Bangor (2m3f, good; has been placed on good to soft) last month; seemed to have a lot left in the tank that day and commands respect here, despite subsequent 12lb rise.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%Ollie Sangster 14%—No signal66/1 40/1 50/1April foal; by Havana Grey; first foal; dam 5f/6f winner (including Listed; RPR 103), half-sister to winners Romantic Style (7f Group 3) and Town And Country (5f Listed), out of French 7f 2yo Group 3 winner; speedy pedigree and she's one to note in the market on debut.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%—No signal100/1 66/1 100/1Eighth foal; half-sister to three minor winners, dam 1m5f AW winner; stable not known for juvenile winners.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Ben Haslam 14%4No signal9/1 10/1 17/2Modest fourth of six (about 5l behind Fantasy Force) in 5f contest at the York Dante festival, having started the rank outsider; perhaps one for nurseries later on.
-
Leigh Roche 6%89-0No signalSP FCST 25/1Modest form in three maiden runs on soft or heavy ground; hard to make a case for him.
-
Jennie Candlish 17%291-11No signal11/10 8/11 11/10Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon.
-
Jonathan Burke 15%Tom George 18%61-FNo signal11/1 11/2 10/1Led close home to win modest Exeter bumper (good ground) in April and made a lot of the running over C&D on last month's hurdling debut, albeit he was held in third before last-flight fall; his tendency to race too freely is a worry but he has a good chance to collect at least a minor prize.
-
T G McCourt 7%074-04No signalSP FCST 16/1Speedy in his early days, winning three times over 5f for Robert Cowell; best recent form has been in 7f Down Royal handicaps, latest last Friday when strong-finishing fourth, having been keen; not sure drop back to 6f will suit.
- E
-
John Wainwright 11%08780-No signal50/1Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good to soft) last summer, the latest off today's mark; however, it was a tame end to the season and this 8yo needs to get back on track on his reappearance.
-
Terry Casey 7%-70408No signal10/1 8/1 9/1Now 0-9 but has ability judged on his keeping-on fourth of 21 over C&D in April (soft); didn't get a clear run at Down Royal on Friday so remains of interest.
-
Ryan Moore 24%22-435No signal9/2 FCST 4/1Consistent last season, going close in 1m2f Group 3 Gallinule Stakes here and later in year twice runner-up in Longchamp Group contests over 1m7f; first two runs this term at 1m6f were creditable, drop back 1m4f didn't suit latest; drops to handicap company and back to ideal trip.
-
W. M. Lordan 16%A. J. Martin 7%/7090-No signal40/1 28/1 40/1Six-time Flat winner but losing run goes back to December 2024; hurdling last winter without success, may need this comeback run.
-
Sean Hayes 0%0144-4No signal11/1 9/1 11/1Won a 7f Dundalk nursery win on AW debut last November; confirmed a fair standard of form with two fourth placings later that month; formerly trained by Donnacha O'Brien; did not quite see out the 1m trip when making a satisfactory debut for Sean Hayes at Dundalk in March; one for the shortlist.
- F
-
322-21No signal4/1 7/2 4/1Bumper winner has done well since returning to the Flat, second here over 1m4f and handled better ground to win 2m1f Killarney amateur handicap last month under a positive ride; 4lb higher but could have more to offer off this low weight upped in grade.
-

0688-3No signal4/1Ended string of heavy defeats when third in first-time cheekpieces here (3m1f, good; handes soft) last month but didn't find much in the closing stages, and it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance.

Ruth Carr 12%24-272No signal4/1 4/1 10/3Didn't live up to market expectations on handicap debut in April (1m, AW), when he reared at the start, but this very lightly raced 5yo showed what he is capable of when second at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, when denied a clear run; unproven on slow ground; on the shortlist.

Sam James 14%32-250No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Front-runner who was admirably consistent in the second half of last year and reappeared with a good second at Newcastle in March; however, after a lesser run at Thirsk he was beaten a long way at Redcar only 16 days ago, and needs to leave that latest performance miles behind.

James Best 9%PP7P-PNo signalSP 28/1 33/1Now 9lb lower than when making all over hurdles at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in early 2025 but has poor completion record in the meantime; pulled up soon after bad jumping error in early stages of a recent chase and now reverts to hurdling; the forecast rain will aid her cause but her stamina is unproven and she can't be supported with much confidence.

Andrew Mullen 10%Ben Haslam 14%651-03No signal3/1 7/4 3/1Poorly drawn and well beaten on seasonal reappearance here (6f) in April, but much more competitive when third at Carlisle (5f, good; 9-2) 16 days ago; bypassed an option at Catterick on Saturday (unsuitable ground) in favour of this; rain - three wins on soft - would aid his cause.
-
Lewis Stones 12%Jennie Candlish 17%559/82No signal3/1 9/4 11/4Built on the promise of his seasonal return when a close second at Warwick (2m, good) last month, despite making a mistake at the last; a 5lb rise asks a little more, though Lewis Stones's 3lb claim helps offset that, and he still looks favourably treated on his best Flat form; with further progress likely, he's high on the shortlist.

Jason Hart 14%Ivan Furtado 10%8-7157No signal12/1 20/1 9/1Opened her account in 1m AW handicap at Southwell in April; has failed to back up that form in two starts since, latest switched to turf; something to prove.
