David Flood 11%08-070No signal125/1 FCST 100/1Well beaten over 5f-7f in Ireland and always behind in an AW classified over 8.6f on debut for new yard three days ago.
-
James Doyle 21%Ralph Beckett 19%1-3No signal18/1 10/1 16/1She has an attractive German pedigree and was bought for 550,000gns as a yearling; won at Newbury (1m, soft) last October on sole 2yo start and beaten about 3l by Amelia Earhart when third in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) on last month's reappearance; she still looked a work in progress last time (slowly away and outpaced turning for home) and could have lots more to offer; slow ground might aid her cause; interesting.
-
tbc0-8155No signalSPRan creditably in Thirsk Hunt Cup last Saturday when bidding to follow up Beverley win
-
0-8155No signal66/1 33/1 50/1Made all at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in April on second stable start; respectable efforts when fifth on his next two outings but he needs something extra today and is unproven on slow ground.
-
William Carver 10%Jamie Osborne 12%54-534No signal5/1 8/1 9/2Ex-German, beaten less than 10l in the German Derby last year; nowhere near that form in two starts for Marco Botti and similar story on his three outings for this yard; gelded before his front-running fourth of ten at Nottingham (1m2f) on Wednesday on handicap debut.
-
Scott Dixon 7%128745No signal40/1 25/1 33/1Both wins over this trip but on the AW and for Marco Botti; it was a good first run for this yard back at Wolverhampton but hasn't kicked on at all; ground conditions are another likely negative, together with stall 1.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%Joe Tickle 11%07880-No signal50/1 66/1 40/1Just five runs so far but has not shown much, including in two course handicaps; gelded since last seen in October; needs much more.
-
Tyrese Cameron 11%Michael Bell 13%020-36No signal7/1 11/2 13/2Ages since he last won but has run well now and again during his losing streak and might be happier getting back on the grass; cheekpieces belatedly tried for the first time.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%David Menuisier 13%434-7No signalSP FCST 12/1Reached the frame in his three 2yo runs (7f), but he returned after a gelding operation with a laboured efforts on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good) last month; has bit to prove after that and he needs improvement at this new trip.
-
Luke Catton 12%1-No signal9/2 3/1 9/2Penalised for winning a weak 7f maiden at Chelmsford in November but she defied market weakness with a narrow verdict and her inexperience was evident; certainly open to further improvement.
-
87-772No signal12/1 10/3 11/1Placed a few times, though only four ran when second at Wolverhampton last time (7f) and that form is unconvincing; others preferred.
-
J M Sheridan 11%343-No signal8/13 5/4 4/7Smart level of form in three runs at the Curragh last year, notably only losing second late on in 5-runner Group 2 Beresford Stakes won easily by recent Prix du Jockey Club runner-up Hawk Mountain; missed intended comeback (due to testing ground) last month, and worth noting he wasn't declared to run in a tongue-tie then; even if his mark proves to be somewhat inflated, should be winning this.
-
026/9/No signal33/1 FCST 28/1Dual-purpose maiden; 0-7 on the Flat; off since heavy defeat over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April 2025; not seen on the Flat since July 2024; best watched.
-
tbc4446-4No signalSPSR 98 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
Ivan Furtado 10%671131No signal10/1 11/1 9/1Two AW wins at 5f/6f this spring; met her match in Call Margot at Southwell (5f, AW) in April but showed her fighting spirit when refusing to give up her lead back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to soft) since; much bigger question here, up 4lb in a better race on a very different track.
-
J M Sheridan 11%138-9No signal10/13yo filly; won on debut at Gowran (7f, good) last September and close third in Listed race over this C&D (yielding) the following month (Howd'yadoit fourth); run may have come too soon when soundly beaten in Curragh Group 3 six days later; 18-1 and no show on seasonal return in Gowran handicap (7f, soft); needs to leave that behind.
-
Scott Dixon 7%253335No signal25/1 25/1 16/1Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.
-
Luke Morris 12%Archie Watson 15%1No signal22/1 9/1 20/1Readily justified favouritism in 6f AW event at Lingfield and although the form isn't strong he looks open to progress; well down this pack on bare figures as things stand, however.
-
Jason Watson 13%0226-5No signal9/1 17/2 9/1All four of his wins were on soft or heavy ground, three at Goodwood; runner-up on his only two visits here, including at this meeting (good to soft) last year and he's 1lb lower today; that was over 8.5f and his creditable fifth on reappearance ten weeks ago was in the 1m Lincoln at Doncaster, but he stays 1m2f; strong each-way claims.
-
David Egan 14%0226-5No signalSPSR 79 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
Reese Holohan 10%Peter Fahey 11%-00154No signal5/1 5/1 9/2Won a C&D claimer in May 2024; sole win since on AW on return from a break in April (1m); creditable efforts returned to turf over 1m at Leopardstown and Gowran the last twice, staying on well; return to 1m2f a big plus; player.
-
James Ryan 7%—No signal18/1 18/1 16/1Mohaather colt cost £72,000 at the breeze-ups; closely related to 6f AW winner Cajetan (RPR 103), half-brother to winners Liberation Bay (6f 2yo/Swedish 1m inc AW; 76) and Supercontango (5f AW; 65); dam unraced half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner; yard had 2yo run well in a Group race lately; showed up well in recent barrier trial over 6f.
-
Ben Robinson 10%Brian Ellison 10%086No signal33/1 40/1 22/1Soundly beaten over 5f on first two starts but her recent sixth at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) was much more encouraging; further progress will almost certainly be required here, though.
-
W. J. Lee 16%M C Grassick 9%485-08No signal13/2 15/2 11/20-10 on turf and yet to trouble the judge; ran on well over 1m5f (good) at Leopardstown on latest; 1lb lower now but not sure this sharper test will suit on that evidence.
-
Robert Havlin 15%Michael Appleby 13%-12480No signalSPIn good form until only eighth in Chester h'cap 23 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back
-
Ryan Moore 24%Aidan O'Brien 22%2241-1No signal9/4Built upon previous promise (including on soft ground) when easily winning a maiden at Leopardstown (1m, yielding) last October on her fifth start, and reappeared with 2l win in Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good) where she wore a hood and blinkers for the first time (retained today); she's followed the same route on her last two races as Minnie Hauk, who won this for Ballydoyle 12 months ago, and Ryan Moore rides; major player.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Kevin Ryan 12%299-30No signal5/1 7/1 5/1Goes well fresh and he scored on his seasonal/handicap debut last April; again ran well when close third off this mark on his comeback (also Ripon, 6f) this term; he didn't back it up when suffering a heavy defeat at York last time, albeit from a poor draw, but this represents a drop back in grade so he's not dismissed.
-
Alex Jary 9%Nigel Tinkler 11%57-934No signal9/4 32/17 9/4Gained both wins last August, the latter over C&D (good); denied clear run before making the frame at Ripon (1m, good) and Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on last two appearances; can be dangerous if his luck changes.
-
James Owen 18%523-62No signal16/1 18/1 14/1Acts on good to soft, unraced on soft; fit from AW and hurdling when good second of seven at Redcar (1m2f) five weeks ago, keeping on strongly; up 2lb and into a better race but needs a second look.
-
Jamie Spencer 12%Charles Hills 14%3000-0No signalSPSR 75 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
tbc1-2323No signalSPSR 95 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
Jamie Powell 8%9-5060No signal28/1 20/1 28/1Second on handicap debut last year but nothing since; has come down 14lb after four unplaced efforts this term.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Ian Williams 11%01-706No signal22/1 11/1 18/1Two-time French winner (7f, very soft/good to soft) who took a step back in the right direction with close sixth of 13 at Chester (7.5f, good) last month on his second stable start; the forecast slower ground could be a positive today and he's not ruled out.
-
William Pyle 9%Donald McCain 15%6/740-No signal18/1 12/1 16/1Five-time Flat winner but last two were over 2m at Catterick in May 2024; well handicapped on old form but has mixed record since switched to hurdling in his last seven starts; returns after a break but his tactical speed will be tested back in this sphere and others are preferred.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%Harry Charlton 16%7-0No signal50/1 FCST 33/1Modest form when down the field at Kempton (1m, AW) in October and she was beaten 16l on her Lingfield reappearance (11-2) last month; still early days but she has a lot to find here and handicaps will be more suitable.
-
P. J. McDonald 14%Phillip Makin 12%260-46No signal8/1 15/2 8/1Has shown her best form at Hamilton since joining Phil Makin, winning in added blinkers there (similar mark) last September; did well to finish fourth (met trouble) on seasonal reappearance at Newcastle but took backward step there next time; is capable if fully firing.
-
3606No signal7/1 5/1 6/1Just a respectable sixth when dropped to 7f and fitted with blinkers (retained) for recent handicap debut at Wolverhampton (AW) but remains unexposed and a recent 2lb drop helps.
-
Jack Cleary 8%Aidan O'Brien 22%80-44No signal3/1 11/4 3/1Rated 84; poor form at two but shaped better when fourth in maidens at Leopardstown in two runs this season; 1m4f seemed to stretch him latest when weakening under 2f out under a positive ride; tongue tie and blinkers replace cheekpieces; should go well dropped back in trip.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%William Knight 14%75-337No signal10/1 15/2 10/1Six-race maiden; placed off 2lb higher at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month but weakened tamely when dropped to 6f for turf debut at Salisbury (good) nine days later and still needs to prove himself on grass.
-
Shane Foley 11%—No signal12/1 8/1 11/1Mehmas filly has Group 2 entry; E48,000 F, 47,000gns Y; first foal; dam 2m1f winner (RPR 85), half-sister to winners Keeper Of Time (7f Group 3) and Bold Impact (7f 2yo), out of Italian Listed-placed 5.5f-1m winner.
-
Ms M Flynn 2%909-87No signal33/1 33/1 28/1One of his two hurdle wins came at this track; has been soundly beaten on recent starts so others preferred.
-
9-0647No signal33/1 16/1 33/1A five-time winner but over shorter distances and the fact he often front-runs could count against him now trying 1m for the first time; well beaten over 6f on recent stable debut.
-
Kieran Shoemark 14%Ed Walker 16%434-07No signal10/1 10/1 9/1Not at the top of his game on either run this year but well backed at Chester last time, when the tight track may not have been ideal; on a handy mark on last season's best form and and he's not discounted.
-
Charles Bishop 10%4No signal11/1 FCST 9/1Showed clear promise with fourth of eight, amid traffic issues, at Yarmouth (6f, good) and is likely to improve; interesting contender for a trainer whose Woodcote record in the last three years reads 132.
-
David Probert 13%Hugo Palmer 13%27-746No signal20/1 14/1 20/1Picked up a lot of prize-money during a busy 2yo season but isn't totally solid on 2026 efforts and has probably already reached his ceiling anyway; seems unlikely defy a 3lb penalty and top weight.
-
Liam Wright 14%Gihan Arnolda 11%50077-No signal40/1 25/1 33/1Quite smart at his best for Ed Dunlop and he goes well on slow ground; however, essentially regressive in 2025 and new trainer has to turn him around.
-
Luke Morris 12%Ollie Sangster 14%-75435No signal50/1 33/1 40/1Two 5f wins (good to firm and AW) last summer but she has been weighted to her best this year and was well beaten in a Beverley seller (first-time cheekpieces, now discarded) last month; up against it.
-
James Owen 18%62-232No signal9/2 6/1 9/2Won a Salisbury maiden (1m2f, good to firm) last June when sporting first-time cheekpieces for previous yard; yet to score for current stable but he's been placed on six of those seven starts and it was a narrow defeat when second of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm; visored) under Silvestre De Sousa latest; soft going would ask a question but he's well drawn to go forward and newly fitted blinkers might eke out more.
-
Sean Levey 13%Richard Hannon 12%16-631No signal50/1 28/1 40/1Won well at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) most recently but that was only a handicap off a mark of 70 and everything panned out perfectly for her; has the worst chance at the weights back up in class.
-
Mason Paetel(3) 11%James Owen 18%450-37No signal9/4 5/2 2/1All three wins for Alice Haynes were on ground slower than good; had lost her way but the signs have been a tad more encouraging for James Owen and she's on a dangerous mark.
-
Rob Hornby 12%99-533No signal5/1 10/3 4/1Third in 1m/1m2f handicaps on firm ground here on last two starts; different ground today but she has far more solid claims than most of these.
-
Cam Hardie 6%Brian Ellison 10%-77074No signalSP FCST 33/1Regressive nine-race maiden who has form figures of 77074 in handicaps for new yard this year; continues to drop down the weights but he was well held at Beverley (1m2f) last time and others are preferred.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%-30009No signalSPSR 86 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
Kieran Shoemark 14%Tom Dascombe 12%001-83No signal14/1 9/1 14/1Failed to figure from the widest draw behind Respond at Chester (went well there previously) on reappearance but a close third of six when favourite at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; with a good soft-ground record too, he could be a major player.
-
Luke Morris 12%Archie Watson 15%61320-No signal14/1 20/1 11/1Disappointing last October on final 3yo start but the cheekpieces adopted that day are dispensed with and he's been gelded since; won over C&D (good) last July before very good efforts in defeat at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) and over C&D (good); retains potential and could be involved.
-
974006No signal80/1 FCST 66/1Lowly rated 15-race maiden; hasn't beaten a rival in her last three appearances (all 5f) so she's virtually impossible to consider.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%2194-0No signalSP FCST 12/1Ran well in Group events at Royal Ascot (6f) and Newmarket last season; posted a duck egg in the Nell Gwyn in sole run this term but looks a possible danger on these terms, provided she takes well to first-time hood. - B
-
Charles Bishop 10%0200-3No signalSPReturns from a layoff and may find that conditions place the emphasis too much on speed
-
Jack Cleary 8%Conor O'Dwyer 10%-00370No signal40/1 22/1 33/1Four wins on AW; sole success on the grass came at Cork (1m2f, yld) in May 2024 off 5lb higher; recent form on AW not great and well beaten in this last year; others make more appeal.
-
Harry Davies 13%Brian Meehan 9%45-052No signal10/3Improved form with blinkers added in his second handicap when runner-up at Salisbury (1m2f, good) 13 days ago; looks interesting off only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid.
-
tbcAidan O'Brien 22%128-86No signalSP
-
Kevin Stott 15%46-217No signal10/1 13/2 10/1Won at Redcar (5f, good to firm; beating Zuffolo and Kyber Crystal, from 5lb lower) on penultimate start but wasn't in the same form at Hamilton subsequently, possibly inconvenienced by the draw; won on soft last year, so unlikely to mind whatever the weather does.
-
Gavin Ryan 8%90-090No signalSP FCST 33/1Second reserve; six-race maiden; bit better the last twice but still beaten 8l both times.
-
7No signalSPCaught the eye in making late headway from last place at Chepstow (6f, good to soft; ended up seventh of 12) but the bare form is modest and there's a danger he'll again get too far back. -
Danny Power 2%J Morrison 1%060-26No signal13/2 7/1 6/1Ordinary form over hurdles; returned from a break with an excellent first run over fences at Limerick, finished second despite making a few slight errors; didn't maintain that improvement at Kilbeggan back over hurdles.
-
Tom Marquand 16%James Owen 18%5/1111No signal6/1 3/1 6/1Rampant mare who completed a four-timer when coming back from a break to score at Catterick (6f, good) last month; that made it 4-4 for this yard and she's still competitively weighted on form for her previous stable; impossible to ignore.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Ian Williams 11%-32236No signal22/1 25/1 18/1Acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 10lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year, prior to tailing off at 50-1 in the Group 3 Ormonde at Chester four weeks ago; he's not on a bad mark but plenty needs to go right if one of his late rushes is to prevail in this.
-
Oisin Orr 14%Julie Camacho 11%13-045No signal28/1 17/2 22/1Took until the 21st attempt to get off the mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last August; acquitted himself well enough on AW at Newcastle over the winter, justifying favouritism there (5f) last November; monitor only for now though, returning to action off a four-month break.
-
7-43No signal4/1 11/4 4/1Well bred and has shaped as though in need of further in both starts this season, over 7f at Limerick (yielding) and 1m at Gowran (gd-yld); steps up in trip now and his official rating of 73 might underestimate him; big player.
-
Lemos De Souza 11%36-3No signal10/3 9/4 10/3Thrice-raced colt who has been placed in both turf attempts, latest at Catterick (7f, good) on seasonal debut; leading contender in this field, assuming he takes well to first-time headgear.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%Adam Kirby 12%434No signal5/6 5/6 8/11Showed plenty of speed when fourth in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, good) in March, and filled the same position in a Listed race at Sandown (5f, good) eight days ago; sets the standard on that form and has leading claims.
-
Olivia Tubb 12%Jonathan Portman 13%0P-211No signal5/1 9/2 4/1Improved to win at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) and followed up from the front at Wolverhampton (9.4f), albeit by the skin of her teeth; only 2lb higher so remains on a competitive mark, but slow ground hasn't looked ideal previously.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Ivan Furtado 10%6092-1No signal12/1 13/2 11/1Returned after wind surgery with a Musselburgh maiden win (7f, good) two weeks ago, but he didn't need to improve to take that prize; still unexposed but this is a deeper race on handicap debut and others are preferred.
-
Ben Coen 11%W R Crawford 11%—No signal50/1Space Traveller colt; dam unraced half-sister to winners Fresnel (Group-placed 1m) and Fortunino (1m7f Listed), out of unraced close relative of 1m4f/1m6f Group 3 winner Profound Beauty, half-sister to useful 7f-1m2f Flat/2m hurdle winner; led before fading in recent barrier trial over 7f.
-
Myla Coppins 17%Tony Carroll 13%88No signal250/1 FCST 200/1Tailed off in two visits to Kempton for 1m3f novice races.
-
tbcHamad Al Jehani 20%25/60-No signalSPSR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .

-
William Cox 5%Barry Murphy 5%-07234No signal14/1 17/2 14/12-44 overall, with his latest win at this track (1m, heavy) last October; kept to Bath for his five races this season and has shown enough over 1m3f/1m2f on last three outings to figure in serious calculations.
-
Jamie Gormley 11%Noel Wilson 1%0978-No signal50/1 33/1 50/1Unplaced all four 2yo starts, most recently when last of nine over C&D (good to soft) on nursery debut in September; needs to have made good progress during 264-day break.
-
Clifford Lee 17%K. R. Burke 20%21-431No signal9/2 11/2 4/1Campaigned mostly on good/firmer ground; rallied gamely for Listed honours at Goodwood (1m2f) most recently and, assuming another gritty display is on the way, should remain competitive; top on his peak figure, achieved when defying top weight in last year's Cambridgeshire (1m1f).
-
K. R. Burke 20%44559-No signal16/1 16/1 14/1Four wins in 2024 included this race on good to soft, with the other three on soft; performed near his best only a couple of times last season, which has been followed by gelding and wind operations; also now wears first-time headgear; some warning signals and he's not slipped far in the weights.
-
James Grace 0%7P0P-0No signal80/1 33/1 66/1Moderate maiden form for Gordon Elliott and tailed off on handicap/stable debut at Wexford; unlikely.
-
Gavin Cromwell 11%0F06-8No signal12/1 11/1 12/1Regressive Flat maiden didn't show much in her opening hurdle runs but has started to show small signs of life recently; 12l sixth in a Limerick mares' maiden hurdle (2m, soft) before being beaten 10.5l at Wexford on handicap debut; more needed in first-time tongue tie.
-
Hector Crouch 18%Richard Hughes 15%41No signal22/1 11/1 18/1Out of a 7f winner and proved suited by the step up to that distance at Haydock (good to soft) where he beat his three rivals; something to prove in this much deeper race returned to sprinting.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%Charlie Johnston 13%10-468No signal12/1 10/1 11/1Won C&D (good) maiden last summer but has disappointed in all three handicaps this season (7f-8.6f) and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry; needs to get career back on track.
-
M A Molloy 6%70638-No signal18/1 16/1 14/1Won a Down Royal bumper on debut in 2022 before going missing for nearly three years; best effort in four maiden hurdles when third at Ballinrobe last August; has to be ready on return.
-
Ivan Furtado 10%117-56No signal18/1 22/1 18/1Two clearcut wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) last autumn but he wasn't at his best on Tapeta during the winter; has scored over C&D in the past but he's never won a Class 4 and this is competitive on his return; others preferred.
-
Jamie Spencer 12%224-77No signal16/1 FCST 12/1He made his debut only as a 4yo but it was a winning one at Newcastle (1m); subsequently useful form on AW included another narrow win at that venue (1m2f) in August for George Scott and he went mighty close over latter C&D on stable debut in November; niggled along at various stages when seventh on his turf debut (10.5f) last month and some guesswork is involved as to whether this test will bring out the best in him.
-
Jack Gilligan 10%7No signal12/1 16/1 12/1Very slowly away when seventh of ten at 50-1 on recent debut at Doncaster (6f, good); however, in the circumstances he did reasonably well and there's potential in his pedigree; could be a contender if breaking on terms.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Bryan Smart 12%21-592No signal9/1 4/1 17/2Won a 6f nursery at Newcastle in December and went close there last time over 5f on his first start since being gelded; steps back up in trip and returns to turf; can make his presence felt.
-
Leigh Roche 6%M D O'Callaghan 12%44-10No signal10/1 13/2 10/1Solid runs at two and dropped back to 6f to win on heavy ground at the Curragh in March (form not worked out); only 10-3 for Madrid Handicap at Naas a week later, but it must have come too soon as he weakened to finish last; freshened up since and headgear left off.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%Mark Loughnane 10%661-00No signal28/1 18/1 22/1Both visits here came in the summer of 2024 and yielded a third followed by a win, both at 6f on good to firm; that was his last success on turf but he scored on AW three starts back and last month's return to grass from the widest stall at Chester can be ignored; not ruled out.
-
tbcTim Easterby 11%9-7012No signalSPCourse winner; led late on at Thirsk 2 weeks ago (7f, good); 3lb higher but should go well
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Rebecca Menzies 11%—No signal28/1 16/1 28/1Silverwave half-sister to AW winners Burrows Seeside (6f; RPR 76) and Allez Burrows (French 6.5f; 76); dam French 5f turf/6.5f AW 2yo scorer (95); sole newcomer in the field; market helpful.
-
Tim Easterby 11%75-660No signal9/2 7/1 4/1Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice (6f, good/good to firm) last summer but he hasn't matched that level in handicaps since; never-dangerous sixth of 14 at Beverley (5f, good to soft) last month but well held over 7f at York 13 days ago; drops back to 6f with a place squeak.

Rossa Ryan 18%David O'Meara 13%2467-1No signal28/1 16/1 28/1Considerable promise during light career for Karl Burke and better than ever when getting up close home in small field on his stable/seasonal debut at Pontefract (6f, good); there can be optimism that he will be fine back up to 7f and on slower ground, and he could have more to offer; contender.
-
Ryan Sexton 12%Edward Bethell 17%211-88No signalSP FCST 7/2Ended last season with two slow-ground wins from the front (1m2f/1m4f); not yet fully exposed but has been safely held twice on good ground this year (1m4f/1m2f) and is not bred for this new trip.

Jack Callan 14%Roger Varian 20%41No signal5/662,000gns breeze-up buy by St Mark's Basilica; did a lot wrong on her debut and was more with it when running out a length winner at Kempton last month; has to go well in this company even with her extra weight.
-
William Buick 25%Charlie Johnston 13%4362-3No signal12/1 FCST 10/10-6 since debut win on AW last June and unproven on slow ground; however, she was a fine second in a red-hot running of the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October and reappeared with an excellent third in the 1,000 Guineas there (1m) last month; made the running on her last two starts; by Derby winner Masar and rallied in the closing stages last time, so it's possible that this sizeable step up in trip will suit; not ruled out.

W. J. Lee 16%M C Grassick 9%0-0046No signal7/2 12/1 10/3Coming towards the end of a fine career and might have a last win in him from declining mark; goes well here; didn't ping the lids as he usually does when sixth here last week, but not far behind a couple of these rivals; break will be crucial.

Jamie Gormley 11%Noel Wilson 1%49-064No signal33/1 20/1 33/1Nine-race maiden; posted by far his best of three runs for new stable this season when dropped back to 7f and tried in blinkers (retained) at Redcar (good) last month, finishing fourth; up in grade here and needs to build on that effort.
-
Jason Watson 13%David O'Meara 13%10-310No signal50/1 FCST 40/1Four-time winner who landed a third success at Pontefract (1m, good) on his penultimate start, having attracted support; also effective on a softer surface than that but it was this mark he raced from when well held at York three weeks ago and this demands a career best.
-
Barry McHugh 9%Liam Bailey 9%943-6No signal50/1 22/1 33/1Initial promise when a never-nearer fourth to Myrrh at Hamilton (8.5f, soft) last September; gelded over the winter and struggled to get competitive on handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW; 40-1) five weeks ago, beaten over 15l; others are more obvious candidates.
-
William Carson 10%Tony Carroll 13%4-6122No signal13/2 3/1 11/2Unraced on slower than good; front-runner who won here over 5f in 2024; won on the AW at Lingfield in March and has posted two good efforts since, including when beaten 1l in a 5f handicap here 23 days ago; comes into this in better form than most.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Richard Hughes 15%15-041No signal5/1 9/2 5/1All turf races have been on good or quicker but dam's best form was on soft; sole 2yo win was over 7f on the AW; ran well for a long way over 6f at Ascot on second run back and proved thoroughly at home over the new 5f trip at Goodwood (good; first-time cheekpieces) since, racing well within himself and coming clear for an impressive win; up 6lb but has better to come.
-
Ben Harvey 7%Cian Collins 9%F/U9-0No signal33/1 28/1 33/1Third on debut in a Navan maiden hurdle in 2024 and won a point the following year; has had an interrupted career since and was well beaten in a 2m3f maiden hurdle here on return; has to return to his best; hood added.

Dylan Whelan 1%—No signal40/1 50/1 40/1Yeats filly; dam unraced half-sister to winners Mind The Crack (11.6f/1m4f) and Mackenberg (bumper and useful 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase), out of maiden half-sister to French 2,000 Guineas/French Derby winner Brametot; unlikely to make immediate impact.

A. Slattery 11%5564-3No signal13/8 2/1 3/2Mercurial character has placed in several maiden hurdles that were stronger than this; 17.5l fourth at Bellewstown and 21l third at Killarney the most recent of his runs over obstacles; creditable sixth on Flat at Gowran last month; big chance on figures but not the most trustworthy individual.
-
Batt Burke 0%6-6922No signal6/1 6/1 11/2Long-standing maiden but definitely has one in him; had a clear run at things when second over C&D last week; slightly wider now but has enough early speed to get a position; cheekpieces tried for just second time.

-
Joanna Mason 12%Tina Jackson 11%256-37No signal4/1 FCST 10/3Two of her three wins have come at Beverley (5f, good to firm/soft) and she has dropped back below her last winning mark; ran well on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; third) but had no in-running luck at Beverley subsequently; isn't a forlorn hope.
