-
690882No signal3/1 5/2 3/1Three 7f wins on Polytrack and Tapeta between April and June in 2025 for this yard; right out of luck for different trainers from November onwards but he fell a long way in the weights and shot home to take a late second at Southwell (7f) 14 days ago; should make hay off current mark, 6lb lower than latest win, if overcoming a wide draw.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%2308-6No signal4/1 10/1 7/2A regressive 9yo who last won in 2021, a 1m4f Group 3 in Germany; well beaten after a break and probably wants 2m ideally.
-
Kevin Stott 15%Kevin Ryan 12%3500-0No signal20/1 11/1 18/1Listed win at Sandown in July 2024 and well treated on that form; however, he drew a blank during his 2025 Australian campaign and was soundly beaten on last month's stable debut in the Thirsk Hunt Cup; something to prove.
-
George Wood 11%James Horton 11%743-64No signal16/1 16/1 14/1Improved in last season's novice races at about 1m but it's been a low-key start in handicaps, at 1m2f and 1m3f; trainer turns to blinkers for some inspiration.
-
Clifford Lee 17%08-025No signal12/1 16/1 12/1Left low-key seasonal debut behind when second at Leicester (7f, good; well backed) in April; remains on a good mark but was safely held when back at Leicester last month and is drawn wide here.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%David Evans 13%0No signal18/1 40/1 16/133-1 and was tenth of the 12 runners on good to soft at Chepstow (6f); limited appeal on that performance.
-
Gina Mangan 11%739-90No signal33/1 20/1 33/1Record of 1-11 overall; has finished last in two sprint handicaps for current yard; cheekpieces added.
-
Chris Hayes 9%D K Weld 13%04-4No signal13/2 11/2 5/1Didn't appear to stay extended 1m2f at Gowran last month in what looked a decent maiden; could still have more to offer and capable of going well off this opening mark.
-
W. M. Lordan 16%Aidan O'Brien 22%—No signal5/1 4/1 9/2Sea The Stars filly is closely related to 1m2f-1m6f winner Saturn (inc AW; RPR 98), half-sister to 7.5f winner Proxima Centauri (87); dam 6f-1m winner (inc 2yo/Irish 1,000 Guineas; 124), half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Alpine Star, from fine family of Miesque; super pedigree.
-
—No signal10/3Sioux Nation filly cost 115,000euros as a foal and 220,000euros as a yearling; sister to 6.5f and 7f (French Group 3) 2yo winner Sydneyarms Chelsea (RPR 96), half-sister to 6f AW winner Bucklow Hill (74); dam 6f AW 2yo winner (75), out of Group-placed 6f 2yo winner; top yard, obvious appeal on debut.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%632-3No signal3/1 11/4 3/1Went close in Newbury maiden (1m2f, good) last May on third and final outing for Gosdens and, having been detached early, he was a very promising third of 15 on his stable/handicap debut at York (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; well bred and could take a sizeable step forward from that latest effort.
-
W. M. Lordan 16%Aidan O'Brien 22%1-27No signal4/1Made a winning debut in a 7f maiden at the Curragh last June; no match for Godolphin's Maho Bay in a novice event at Newmarket in April (winner a beaten favourite in the Lingfield Derby Trial on next start); looked in need of further when failing to make an impact in the 1m2f Gallinule Stakes won by stablemate Causeway.
-
Jason Hart 14%285675No signal10/1Well handicapped on some of his winter AW form but was safely held when back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week and remains without a win since summer 2024; others preferred.
-
Jessica Maye 7%0No signal200/1Completely tailed off first time out at Gowran eight weeks ago; can be ignored.
-
Cam Hardie 6%Paul Midgley 11%—No signal50/1 33/1 40/13,000euros yearling; fifth foal; half-sister to winners Indigo Dawn (6f 2yo; RPR 74), Jaadil (2m2f hurdle), Making Magic (Italian 7.5f) and Scatola Chiusa (Italian 1m-1m4f including 2yo); dam maiden (44) half-sister to Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Unilit; trainer not known for 2yo winners.
-
Sean Levey 13%Conrad Allen 14%74-36No signal13/2 15/2 11/2Steady improvement on AW during the winter but reportedly lost her action when beaten 12l on turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in April; steps up in trip and needs to get back on track on this return to AW.
-
Kevin Stott 15%Kevin Ryan 12%4No signal11/10 3/2 10/1118-1 and slowly away before keeping on well for fourth of ten on debut in a Listed race at York (5f, good) three weeks ago; this 130,000euros yearling could have plenty more to offer tackling 6f; strong claims.
-
Rhys Elliott 7%Jim Goldie 14%-53862No signal10/1 10/1 8/1Five-time turf winner who went close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in February when last seen; not discounted but it's possible this 8yo will improve for this first run since; question mark about slow ground nowadays.
-
George Wood 11%Harry Charlton 16%—No signal8/1 8/1 7/160,000gns yearling; third foal; dam placed 1m2f/1m3f in France (RPR 71), sister to smart 1m1f/1m2f winner Collins Street; in good hands and this isn't a strong race, so would be tempting if prominent in the betting.
-
Oisin Orr 14%642164No signal33/1 20/1 28/17f-1m AW winner and 7f turf winner (good) last year when 6lb lower; well below par on both AW and turf on his last two starts and he does have a little to prove after that.
-
Rhys Clutterbuck 11%5-6No signal80/1 40/1 66/1Struggled on 2yo debut (6f) and was almost certainly flattered by proximity to principals when sixth of seven in slowly run contest at Ascot (1m2f, good) last month.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%Joe Tickle 11%7-44No signal50/1 12/1 40/1Showed more on third and final run in Irish maidens, finishing fourth of ten at Cork (1m2f, soft); left Jessica Harrington for 22,000gns; likely best watched unless backed.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%David Evans 13%4263-3No signal11/2 8/1 7/2Promising runs for David Menuisier whom he left for 9,000gns; gelded ahead of stable debut at Wolverhampton where he was beaten 7l in a small field; may have needed that after a lengthy break and there are races in him.
-
Ray Dawson 14%-31228No signal5/2 3/1 2/1Bang in form on the AW before going off too fast when made favourite for his turf debut in a 6f handicap at Ripon; remains of interest and looks sharp enough for 5f; gelded since.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Tom Clover 17%6No signal40/1 40/1 33/1First foal from a useful 7f AW winner; showed only a glimmer of promise before weakening into sixth of seven on debut at Southwell (1m) on New Year's Day.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Olly Murphy 24%9945-4No signal13/8 9/4 31/19Unexposed 6yo who kept on from the rear for encouraging fourth behind Genbu over C&D (good) on last month's stable/handicap debut; probably still has a bigger run in him and features prominently in calculations.
-
William Carson 10%02472-No signal15/2 6/1 15/2Left Ireland for 15,000euros and a 15-race maiden, though very nearly put that right on the AW (1m) in October; has turf form as well; could be interesting on stable debut should market vibes be at all posititive.
- B
-
Wesley Joyce 6%-04394No signal11/1 10/1 17/211-race maiden but caught the eye at Gowran on Monday when strong-finishing fourth, having lost plenty of ground at the start when hampered; officially 3lb wrong here but could go well at a price.
-
Simon Dow 11%706-76No signal14/1 11/1 12/1Both handicap wins on turf at Chester (5f and 6f); no great shakes on this track for new yard since November but he's dropped 9lb in that time and there was the glimmer of a revival here last time when back from a break; not ruled out.
-
Colin Keane 16%Noel Meade 11%55-2No signal4/1 10/3 4/1Slow to break but shaped reasonably well over 7f here on debut last July when staying on strongly into fifth, having run green; not beaten far when fifth of nine over the same trip at the Galway festival; no match for the well-fancied Mixed Feelings in a 1m maiden here in April; not guaranteed to uphold form with fourth-placed Lake Bonney.
-
Scott Dixon 7%-29585No signal18/1 FCST 16/1Three wins for William Knight last autumn; might be on the way back after a fairly close fifth at Bath when just behind Guernsey Lady.
-
Shane Foley 11%066-U7No signal12/1 9/1 11/1Yet to make an impact in handicaps, not looking to get home on soft over this trip at Cork on latest; plenty to find.
-
Connor Beasley 13%James Tate 19%59No signal8/1 10/1 6/1Moderate form at Beverley and Ascot (both 5f, good); likely to need a significant step up on that and will make greater appeal once she has a handicap mark.
-
Scott Dixon 7%521564No signal4/1 12/1 4/1Landed her fourth AW win when scoring over C&D in April; has been beaten three times since at this track, twice on AW, and although she cannot be discounted she is more exposed than the rest of the field.
-
3607-0No signal8/1 13/2 8/1Cork maiden winner (7f, good) last season went on to take third of eight in a Group 3 next time (7f, good); finished around 2l behind today's rival Mallavelly (third) when seventh of 20 in a 1m premier handicap here on her final start last term; well beaten on seasonal debut at Naas
-
Jack Dace 10%David Simcock 14%223-14No signalSP FCST 10/11Consistent maiden for David Menuisier; won a 1m4f classified race on her debut for this yard and then ran pretty well in a Windsor handicap; appeals most.
-
David Noonan 8%Tim Vaughan 10%/4P54-No signal17/2 12/1 17/2Consolidated rather than improved upon previous best efforts during last season, despite the addition of cheekpieces; remains on a tempting mark, but significant rain wouldn't be welcomed.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Kevin Ryan 12%118-04No signal11/2Won two in a row over C&D last September (good to soft/soft) and returned to form with very close fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) in April on his second start of the season; slow ground would be a major boost to his claims.
-
Oakley Brown 15%Adrian Keatley 15%65670-No signal12/1 7/1 12/1Five out of seven hurdles wins have been recorded in the month of June; mark and trip fine, but although once a winner after 151 days out his record following an absence is a bit mixed overall.
-
Harry Skelton 27%Dan Skelton 22%P8-111No signalSP 2/3 8/13Transformed by the tongue-tie, adding an admittedly poor 2m4f Southwell novice handicap hurdle two nights ago to last weekend's Worcester chase debut rout (2m, good); likely still well ahead of her mark, and just a case of whether a third race in a week or possibly softer ground find her out; also engaged 8:30 Warwick Wednesday.
-
Charles Bishop 10%843-46No signal11/1 15/2 10/1Consistent in her five runs to date; makes AW debut and she needs that bit extra in order to register her first win.
-
Danny McMenamin 15%Nicky Richards 17%8/P1/3No signal4/1 11/1 7/2Determined last-gasp Newcastle winner in February 2025 (2m1f, good to soft), and recent Hexham third on sole run since was much more promising than the 31l distance beaten might imply (rallied after late blunder); may be a case of whether this longer trip is within range now.
-
Stan Sheppard 16%Tom Lacey 19%—No signal4/1 3/1 7/2Very useful on the Flat in his prime, with career highlight his 2023 Bunbury Cup success (7f; unraced beyond about 1m); absent since two below-par runs in spring 2024, though, and tricky to weigh up on stable/hurdle debut.
-
Connor Beasley 13%James Tate 19%4No signal14/1 16/1 12/19-1 for recent debut at Redcar (5f, good to firm), when holding a prominent position before weakening; that form is only moderate and she'll need a good step up on it to figure.
-
David Egan 14%2No signal11/1 5/1 11/17-4 on debut at Redcar (6f, good) last month when not getting the smoothest of passages but kept on for second behind a 7l winner; can probably step up on that.
-
—No signal17/2 5/1 17/2Lope De Vega filly cost 260,000gns as a foal and 400,000gns as a yearling; first foal; dam 1m1f-1m4f winner (inc AW/Italian Group 3; RPR 105), half-sister to Japanese 1m2f winner Steen; newcomer represents another top yard, has to be noted for market support.
-
8No signal100/1 100/1 80/1Has a good pedigree but was always behind when 100-1 for recent debut at Southwell (1m).
-
W. J. Lee 16%2600-5No signal8/1 6/1 8/1Best run last year when second in valuable C&D handicap (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 90; form regressed afterwards but encouraging seasonal return (well-backed) at Naas last month over 1m; down in grade here off a fair mark so one to consider.
-
Robert Havlin 15%S. P. C. Woods 12%20-244No signal11/2 13/2 9/2Three good runs over 1m this year, the latest in refitted blinkers at Kempton four weeks ago, but probably needs this longer trip to unlock some improvement.
-
Callum Rodriguez 20%Edward Bethell 17%4-1No signal9/2 6/1 7/2Unexposed after only two starts and justified heavy market support when readily winning Catterick novice (7f, good) on seasonal debut in April; judged on the subsequent exploits of the runner-up in handicaps, this filly could be on a lenient opening mark.
-
Jack Nicholls 12%K. R. Burke 20%585-49No signal9/2Well beaten at Newmarket last month but he failed to settle and looked unsuited by the track; prior to that he was a promising fourth in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) on his stable debut and there's mileage in his mark on his old form; has won over C&D and he's one to consider.
-
Ned Fox 9%800-3No signal4/1 11/1 4/1Better round of jumping inspired a major uplift on last month's handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m, good), shaping as if this longer trip might give him more chance of defying a still ungenerous-looking mark.
-
Alec Voikhansky 11%Tom Ward 11%645-6No signal10/3 2/1 10/3Steady improvement last year and appeared to perform below expectations on his handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm; 9-4 favourite); interest to see if backers return.
-
Jack Quinlan 15%Neil King 22%P53-83No signal5/1 7/2 5/1December's Doncaster second (3m, good to soft) suggested a sound future as a stayer, so it's disappointing he has not always seen out mostly shorter trips since, beaten 26l over almost 2m5f latest.
-
9048-1No signal10/3 11/2 3/1Major personal best on last week's return from eight months out, staying on well late to take a 2m7f Worcester novice handicap (good); little to choose between her peak previous RPRs with or without cut, so possible she'll cope if the rain arrives; chance despite the penalty.
-
George Wood 11%Adrian Wintle 11%06-067No signal15/8 4/1 7/4Sole win came in 1m2f handicap here last June on good to soft; below par this season but the recent rain heightens interest.
- C
-
Gavin Sheehan 23%Jo Davis 11%4-3No signalSP 15/2 8/1Fair on the Flat at around 1m2f for the Kublers last year; safely held when making the frame on both hurdling starts for Jo Davis this year but improvement is possible on this handicap hurdle debut.
-
041-29No signal3/1 9/2 11/4Ended 2025 with a win and better than ever when a close second of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) on reappearance; Thirsk was disappointing but that was a Class 4, so this is easier.
-
James Ryan 7%088-49No signal20/1 18/1 20/1Back in trip here after not looking to stay at Killarney; cheekpieces replace blinkers; others preferred.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%—No signal28/1 16/1 28/1Mehmas filly cost 120,000euros as a yearling; half-sister to winners Warriors Whisper (French Group-placed 9.5f AW; RPR 98) and Carencey (6f/7f; 82); dam 7f-1m2f winner (inc Group 3; 105), sister to dam of top-class middle-distance performer Pyledriver; watch for market support on debut.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%J. S. Moore 7%7210-0No signal7/1 11/2 7/1Won small-field 5f handicap on soft ground last September; uncompetitive in two runs since on either side of a break.
-
5120-9No signal18/1 11/1 16/1Down the field on last month's reappearance at Catterick but may have needed that run; won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and is not discounted; has run well on good to soft going.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%555-8No signal11/2 13/2 5/1Unplaced in four starts, including on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good; 28-1) last month; takes a drop in class in first-time cheekpieces and is in good hands, so there could be more to come from her.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Jim Goldie 14%039-00No signal22/1Debut 6f winner (good) who has been unable to better that effort or add to that success in 11 further starts; well beaten twice since switching to his current trainer but it's not long since this would have looked a very handy mark and he would be a big player if bouncing back.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%755-10No signal13/2 11/2 6/1Needs to bounce back quickly from very disappointing turf debut at Haydock a fortnight ago but came from off the pace for emphatic win at Newcastle (1m2f) on seasonal/handicap debut in early May, and has obvious claims if judged on that performance.
-
David Probert 13%34-584No signal2/1 5/1 2/1Strike-rate of 1-36 but not had many chances at 1m4f over which he was beaten 3l in a classified race on the AW last time; possible.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%552No signal5/2 4/1 5/2Has improved with each start and was collared late on her most recent start at Redcar (6f, good to firm); should be competitive and the drop back to 5f may help; each-way player.
-
9No signal200/1 125/1 200/1State Of Rest filly; 12,000euros yearling; second foal; dam runner-up 6f 2yo (RPR 82), half-sister to Italian 1m7f jumps winner Teddy's Profit, out of French 1m2f winning half-sister to 5f/5.5f 2yo Group 2 winner Signora Cabello; plenty keen, dropped out to finish last of 9 on recent Cork debut; this a stronger maiden, easily passed over.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%John James Feane 10%0-6041No signal7/2 10/3 7/2Has taken well to handicapping, good fourth to an improver over 5f at Naas before relishing step up to 7f for ready success at Gowran (soft) in April, coming late off a good pace; good chance he'll stay 1m and 7lb rise looks fair; decent draw too.
-
Shane Foley 11%7No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Pedigree implies she might have a stamina issue over this trip; that view is endorsed by her debut run at Cork when she ran out of steam over a furlong down.
-
Oisin Orr 14%641-41No signal13/8 7/4 3/21m AW winner; first turf win when upped to 1m2f at Beverley (good to firm) in May; 3lb rise suggests he is still well treated; big player.
-
Liam Bailey 9%321331No signalSP FCST 11/2Two AW wins from the front this spring (1m4f/2m), the latest at Southwell in April when last seen; he's a six-time winner on turf, with all those coming on soft/heavy going; claims enhanced if slow ground prevails. -
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%7No signal11/128-1 on debut at Thirsk (5f, good) last month, when slow to get going and never better than midfield; half-sister to a Listed sprint-winning 2yo and no surprise if she is able to step up on that.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Jonathan Portman 13%—No signal40/1 28/1 33/1April foal; 12,000gns yearling; fourth foal; Without Parole sister to 1m4f winner Emily Rebecca (RPR 67), half-sister to 1m winner Dashing Darcey (including 2yo/AW; 98); dam 7f AW winner (58) from family of fine sprinters Deacon Blues and The Tin Man; yard's newcomers can go well at a price on debut.
-
Jack Tudor 13%88P/No signal18/1 9/1 16/1Won on the Flat for Hughie Morrison in 2024 but was soundly beaten at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles for Sheila Lewis in 2024-25 season; makes stable/handicap hurdle debut after 462-day absence; could be considered only if lively in the betting.
-
David Egan 14%Dylan Cunha 13%05-463No signal11/2 9/1 5/1Posted sound effort when third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago and may benefit from this drop back in trip but she's not making any progress and others have more appealing profiles.
-
Gavin Ryan 8%H Rogers 10%0747-8No signal33/1 25/1 33/1Fourth of 21 on C&D handicap debut last summer was his best run for Natalia Lupini; no show on last month's Roscommon comeback, entitled to improve for that but an unlikely one.
-
Charlie Fellowes 11%9-No signal40/1Out of a German Group 3 winner; too green to do herself justice when 33-1 for debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; needs to have made good progress in the meantime.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%David Menuisier 13%6-0No signal33/1 22/1 28/1Not disgraced on 2yo debut at Newbury (1m, soft) but suffered heavy defeat when reappearing at Sandown (1m2f, good; behind Sunshine Star) six weeks ago.
-
G. M. Lyons 16%80547No signal12/1 8/1 11/1Last Friday's step up in trip at Down Royal didn't bring any improvement; back in trip for handicap debut (down 2lb in future).
-
W. McCreery 9%/20-03No signal16/1 12/1 14/1Winning hurdler but 0-9 on the Flat, placed in Clonmel maiden over today's trip last season and more recently staying on third over 1m in Killarney maiden last month; needs to improve on previous handicap efforts though.
-
Harry Skelton 27%Dan Skelton 22%9531-2No signal1/7 1/4 1/7Miles clear with one other when beaten just over 1l in a Market Rasen 0-125 handicap latest (3m, good; RPR 118), and this novice contest isn't anywhere near as deep; yet to register form of that calibre with give underfoot, but possible he could get away with it here even if rain arrives.
-
David Probert 13%Hughie Morrison 12%055-44No signal11/4 7/4 5/211-race maiden having only his third run on turf; yet to find his best form this season and the headgear tried last time is dispensed with.
-
Shay Farmer 8%Ron Barr 15%313-01No signal6/1 5/1 6/1Left low-key reappearance run behind when scoring at Redcar (5f, good to firm) nine days ago and is now 2-7 for Ron Barr; carries 5lb penalty here but is due to go up by that amount anyway and the slightly longer trip should be in her favour; likely contender.
-
973No signalSPNon Runner -
Sean Levey 13%Dylan Cunha 13%973No signal10/1 8/1 9/1Showing steady improvement and was third of 15 at Redcar (6f, good; 100-1) last month on her latest start; needs more in order to win one of these but will be of interest when the nursery season starts.
- D
-
Cam Hardie 6%Ollie Pears 11%459-67No signal17/2 11/1 17/2Inconsistent and hasn't yet hinted that she is up to winning from this mark; more needed.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Ben Haslam 14%771-42No signal11/2 7/1 7/21m AW winner last December when 4lb lower; has bettered that effort in defeat on both subsequent starts on turf; step up in trip could help tease out a bit of improvement; each-way player.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%G. M. Lyons 16%364-87No signal9/1 9/1 17/2Got first career win with comfortable 1m Dundalk handicap success in October off 72; just fair efforts on AW afterwards and turf return at Naas last month was just okay (keen); cheekpieces now added.
-
759-80No signal11/1 9/1 11/1Beverley specialist who hasn't been at the top of her game over 8.4f there on her two starts this season; however, that trip is probably inadequate nowadays and she has a reduced mark to work with back up in trip; has won over C&D and this 9yo is not written off.
-
10-068No signal6/1 4/1 11/2Has recorded his only two wins over 1m at this venue; ground was heavy when he scored off this mark last October, his 2024 win was on good going; his record of finishing second ten times strikes a note of caution; below best in three 2026 appearances.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%William Stone 13%54-050No signal7/2 14/1 10/3All four wins from the front on turf, over 7f in 2024 and twice over 1m at Newmarket last summer; 0-9 on AW but he handles this surface and is not a forlorn hope on the return to 7f.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Rebecca Menzies 11%5-5273No signal11/2 10/3 11/2Has twice gone close from this mark in her last three starts, at Musselburgh (5f, good) and most recently at Redcar (5f, good to firm); both those efforts suggest that this extra half furlong will be a positive; visor now tried; player.
-

Kielan Woods 14%Fergal O'Brien 15%1/3P-FNo signal7/1 15/2 7/1Won good-ground bumper by 8l in March 2025; rather disappointing when well-held third on hurdle debut in October and has failed to complete twice since but shaped with promise before weakening and falling at Southwell (2m, good) last month, after a break.
