Joey Haynes 10%Chelsea Banham 15%392145No signalSP 15/2 10/1Mainly running well since switched to AW handicaps including a win at Wolverhampton (6f) in March; faded into fifth at Leicester (5f) yesterday when returned to turf; needs to step up on that effort.
-
685U53No signalSPFour of his five wins have been on the AW and has plenty to find with Trilby, who beat him by 6l at Haydock last time (5f, soft). -
Brian Hughes 19%L J Morgan 12%155/P-No signal14/1 13/2 14/1Dual hurdle winner (2m/2m3f, good) towards end of 2024; not yet fully exposed but returned from one-year absence with disappointing chase run in April and needs to get career back on track.
-
Georgia Dobie 10%Craig Benton 11%543/06No signal100/1 66/1 80/1Six-race maiden who was last of 11 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on his stable debut following 627 days ago; never featured over 5f at Lingfield three weeks ago but this step back up in trip may help.
-
Ryan Kavanagh(3) 11%David Pipe 16%1-3711No signal33/1 14/1 33/1Previously trained in France and she's won four of her ten starts, the most recent win coming by a neck in a claimer at Salon-de-Provence (1m4f, good to soft) 54 days ago; drops back in trip for her stable/British debut and the betting should be informative.
-
Rowan Scott 11%Roger Varian 20%52-No signal9/4 18/13 9/4Improved from his debut run at Doncaster (1m, soft) when runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last December at 5-6; that latest form reads well and there can be optimism that this well-bred 3yo can continue to progress for his respected Newmarket trainer; key player.
-
/0213-No signal9/1 7/1 17/2Won well over hurdles at Thurles in February and a fair chase debut next time at Fairyhouse, both on winter ground; however, has handled better ground in the past and run well here before too; chance.
-
21167-No signal12/1 25/1 12/1All five of her wins have been at Bath (1m/1m2f) with four of them on soft/heavy, the latest over 1m2f in October off a 4lb lower mark than today's; third in both starts over this C&D and she's proven fresh, so is of some interest on her first start for 188 days.
-
8No signal100/1 66/1 100/1Modest form in three Flat maidens for William Haggas in 2024; never threatened at Ballinrobe on Irish/hurdling debut.
-
50-008No signalSP 33/1 40/1Out of the frame in all ten starts from 5f-11.4f; makes little appeal.
-
15223-No signal6/1 9/2 5/1Won this race by 13l a year ago and was still in good form when last seen last summer/autumn; has fitness to prove after eight-month absence, though, and current mark probably demands a career-best performance.
-
828038No signal13/2 9/1 6/1Better on the AW, but better handicapped on turf; fair third at Southwell two runs back (7f), but modest efforts either side of that; this softer ground no problem.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%Jim Boyle 10%555-02No signal12/1 17/2 11/1Again showed ability when second of eight at Lingfield (7f, good) eight days ago, shaping as though the return to this trip would suit; high on list from same mark; stable also runs Play Me.
-
William Carson 10%Adam Kirby 12%51-122No signal3/1 9/4 3/1Has done well since joining Adam Kirby and his record over 5f reads 11122, but he finished out of the frame in his only start on turf which does pose a question.
-
Miss Tilly Evans 21%Nigel Tinkler 11%628581No signal11/2 3/1 11/2Won for today's rider off a 2lb lower mark at Redcar last time (6f, good to firm); today's softer conditions are not sure to suit.
-
James Smith 9%389-24No signalSP 15/2 8/1Third in a C&D maiden last year for Gavin Cromwell; fair recent form for this yard, but over longer distances than this at Downpatrick.
-
Sarah Humphrey 12%53PU1-No signal8/1 10/1 15/2Returned to racing under rules with win in four-runner chase at Fakenham (3m, good) in April, in which his three rivals toiled and were pulled up; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth and his overall profile is not compelling but he clocked a good time (despite being eased right down).
-
Richie McLernon 13%4224-6No signal18/1 11/1 16/11-15 over fences; runner-up twice in cheekpieces at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) at start of this year but didn't fire in first-time blinkers (retained) at Fontwell last month; others are more persuasive.
-
Edward Greatrex 14%Ralph Beckett 19%—No signal11/1 10/1 11/1Fourth foal; Territories half-sister to French winners Sandon (1m2f 2yo) and Betty Nelson (10.5f); dam French 1m2f winner, half-sister to French 1m2f/10.5f winner, out of maiden sister to 1m2f Group 2 winner Ana Marie; races against males on debut but trainer does very well here with his 2yos.
-
Kieren Fox 10%222712No signal9/2 13/2 7/2Unraced on soft; 2-14 on the AW (wins over 7f) compared to 0-11 on turf but it was a good effort when second of ten at Newmarket (6f, good) 24 days ago; contender if handling conditions.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Gemma Tutty 11%79-988No signal12/1Ex-French; only win was over 6f at Chantilly as a juvenile (very soft); not been in top form this season and needs cheekpieces to have a positive effect.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Oliver Cole 11%362-2No signal15/2 6/1 15/20-4 and there's a question mark regarding slow ground, but she's been runner-up on her last two starts (7f/1m, AW) and her form reads well, albeit with others probably possessing greater scope to improve; a tongue-tie goes on; could again be thereabouts if returning from a break at the top of her game.
-
James Bowen 20%Billy Aprahamian 16%3P31-5No signal9/1 6/1 17/2Easily made all in a point in April but was just a respectable fifth over hurdles at Hexham (2m7f, good) for new connections last month and needs to build on that performance here.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%Rod Millman 13%123-60No signal14/1 11/1 12/1Record in 6f/7f nurseries here last August/September reads 123, but modest in two starts since returning from seven months off in April; chance depends on the return to this venue doing the trick.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%Dr Jon Scargill 17%24/78-No signalSP FCST 14/1Last win came in July 2023 and is still 2lb higher; off for 11 months but has won fresh before and she could be given an each-way chance if the ground is slower than good.
-
Karl Thornton 14%P42-5UNo signal14/1 11/2 12/1Looked set to win over fences last time at Limerick when the saddle slipped on the run-in, which would have been his first score; has a chance if as good over hurdles today.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Brian Ellison 10%-77074No signal17/2 9/1 8/10-9 and had been regressive this year, but last month's fourth of nine at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) was a step back in the right direction; ran well on soft ground last September and he's not ruled out.
-
070-82No signal8/1 9/2 8/1Was having her 18th start when placed for the first time ten days ago; never far from the pace in that 2m Tramore contest; may feature again, but not guaranteed to reverse previous Wexford form with Cholo.
- B
-
Robbie Downey 13%Roger Varian 20%7No signal40/1 28/1 40/1Short of room soon after the start and always towards rear when 10-1 for recent debut at Kempton (7f, AW); however, his trainer has won two of the last five runnings and this 160,000euros yearling is open to improvement.
-
7/4P0-No signal28/1 22/1 28/1Best handicap run when fourth at Roscommon last year but well below that level twice after; needs to return to best on seasonal/stable debut.
-
FP-0No signal125/1 125/1 100/1Failed to complete two point-to-point starts; remote tenth at Limerick on hurdles debut.
-
3658No signalSPHalf-brother to a few winners and a market check is advised in this second handicap; however, he was soundly beaten at 50-1 in mid-division in a handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; improvement needed. -
07F-00No signal10/1 8/1 10/1Down the field off a lowly mark in handicap hurdle runs at this venue and Tramore; very hard to make a case for her, though the stable had a 16-1 winner at Punchestown on Saturday.
-
Rose Dawes 13%Sheena West 12%260-87No signal4/1 11/4 4/12-2 at this level with both wins coming for Jack Channon around this time last year; has not set the world alight in eight starts under both codes since joining this yard but he didn't run too badly in a 0-55 handicap here (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; interesting back in this company.
-
Jim Boyle 10%467-87No signal11/1 9/2 11/1Won two 0-55 handicaps at about 5f (good) last August after the cheekpieces went on, including one here; the return to this grade is a positive but he hasn't got home in two previous attempts over C&D and the headgear is still missing.
-
5631-6No signal18/1 20/1 18/1Off the mark at the seventh attempt when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained since) in a nursery at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last November; April's reappearance sixth at Southwell (6f, AW) gives him something to build on and he's a possible contender if the return to turf isn't an issue.
-
-54405No signal33/1 20/1 33/1Just 1-50 and his best efforts have come on the AW; stable appears to hold stronger claims with Big Time Rascal.
-
Tim Easterby 11%20-673No signal4/1 10/3 7/2Won over C&D in May last year (good to soft); beaten 7l when third at Ripon last week (6f, good); these are his ideal conditions and should go well.
-
Tom Bellamy 16%/188P/No signal25/1 16/1 25/1Irish point winner in spring 2024; well beaten at triple-digit odds in three novice/maiden hurdles in 2024-25 season (2m-2m4f) but two of those were good-quality races at Cheltenham; makes handicap debut after a long absence but remains unexposed and is worth a glance in the betting.
-
Jason Hart 14%Ivan Furtado 10%0-6662No signal9/1 13/2 9/1Veteran; goes well on soft ground and ran a fine race when second to Trilby (2lb worse off for 0.5l) at Haydock last time (5f, soft; tongue-tie tried); tongue-tie retained and sound each-way chance.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%7No signal6/1 9/2 6/1Inexperience evident during the first half of last month's debut outing at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) but the penny dropped somewhat and he finished seventh of 12, beaten just over 3l at 11-1; this half-brother to three winners may have learnt a lot from that initial experience.
-
Harry Skelton 27%Dan Skelton 22%P8-111No signal2/5 9/17 1/3Fast-improving mare who won easily on chasing debut at Worcester (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) 12 days ago and has quickly added two easy hurdle wins (2m4f/2m, good) to her tally; probably still a long way ahead of the handicapper and can continue her winning spree here.
-
David Probert 13%Andrew Balding 18%—No signal16/1 8/1 16/127,000euros yearling; second foal; Acclamation half-brother to 7f AW winner Giles Glory (RPR 58); dam 7f AW 2yo winner (72), half-sister to 7f/1m winner, out of 1m winning half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Amazing Maria; yard 8-48 (17%) with 2yos here in last five years; could go well on debut.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Harry Charlton 16%22No signal4/6 8/11 8/13Showed plenty when a 1l second at Kempton (1m, AW) on his debut in April and built on that when second of 11 at Newbury (1m2f, good) 25 days ago; dam finished runner-up in a Group 1 on testing ground; sets the standard.
-
William Carson 10%95-622No signal9/4 Evs 32/17Just 1-23 albeit the win came in a 0-55 handicap here (6f, good) just over a year ago; runner-up in last two starts at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Bath (5.7f, good to firm) and it may be that a bit further and good or faster ground suits him best, but he still holds strong claims in this company.
-
Zak Wheatley 10%Declan Carroll 11%—No signal11/1 7/1 10/1March foal; 105,000euros yearling; first foal; by Sioux Nation out of unraced half-sister to 6f Group 1 winner Emaraaty Ana, out of 1m4f Listed winner; yard's 2yos can go well first time but 1-29 with them here.
-
Tyler Heard 7%336-27No signal28/1 22/1 25/1Winner of seven races but still 5lb higher than when last successful 12 months ago and this trip looks right on the limit of his stamina.
-
Tom Marquand 16%Oliver Cole 11%85No signal25/1 FCST 22/1Soundly beaten on his first two starts (6f, AW/good) and considerable improvement is needed if he's to pose a threat.
-
70P8-9No signal50/1 40/1 50/1Weak chase form over the past 12 months; has a modest hurdles rating; veteran faces a stiff task in this company.
-
Tom Queally 10%-70449No signal15/2 FCST 7/1Disappointing favourite in first-time blinkers at Bath (11.6f, good) last month but that headgear is dispensed with and cheekpieces return; drops into a 0-55 for the first time and is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last July; respected; stable also runs Letsbeatsepsis.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%Clive Cox 17%4No signal11/2 4/1 5/110-1, showed promise when fourth of ten on last Monday's debut at Newbury (6f, good to firm), beaten just under 3l; there's potential in his pedigree and he could take a step forward today.
-
P J Rothwell 7%PB010-No signal22/1 12/1 22/1Long-priced winner at Down Royal in December; may have needed Bellewstown run in April; trainer probably has a better chance with recent Tramore second Avandra.
-
Shane Fitzgerald 10%5P1-58No signal100/1 66/1 100/1Point winner in a confined maiden at Dromahane; tailed off in a bumper at Listowel last week; no hurdling experience.
-
Mr B T Stone 9%Cian Collins 9%/0667-No signal5/1 12/1 4/1Dual chase winner has run well at times in defeat over hurdles but only three runs in this sphere in last two years; needs to do more.
-
Kevin Healy(7) 10%Declan Queally 18%807-88No signal8/1 13/2 7/1Was noted staying on from way off the pace on last two starts including at this track; could do better if getting a more prominent ride.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Andrew Balding 18%41No signal5/2Built upon the promise of her debut fourth at Newbury (7f, good) in April when winning at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month; carries a penalty against some interesting rivals but did it nicely last time and she's respected.
-
76U07-No signal16/1 33/1 14/1Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three maiden hurdles last August/September and makes handicap debut after a 255-day absence; 2lb wrong; of interest only if attracting market support.
- C
-
6254-3No signal6/1 5/1 6/1Not quite at her best this year but has dropped another 2lb since last month's respectable third at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) and this move back up in trip won't be a problem; probably won't be far away.
-
Jack Tudor 13%9705-3No signal6/1 13/2 11/20-6 over hurdles but put in good front-running shift when third at Fakenham (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is open to more improvement over this longer trip.
-
William Carson 10%Tony Carroll 13%70-642No signal9/4 9/4 2/1Has improved since switching to turf handicaps last month, finishing fourth of ten at Bath (5.7f, good) and second of 12 at Windsor (6f, good); up 1lb but still a major player.
-
640-96No signal9/1 18/1 17/2Ordinary form in points; has failed to make any impact in three bumper starts; stout pedigree, dam a point winner and sister to Irish Grand National winner Rogue Angel.
-
Gina Mangan 11%Ed de Giles 10%70-No signal250/1 FCST 150/1Tailed off when last of seven on his debut at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in October and he again failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) next time; others are preferred.
-
Theo Gillard 12%Donald McCain 15%40682-No signal12/1 15/2 12/1Soundly beaten on first two hurdling starts but belied 150-1 odds when second in 14-runner Chepstow maiden (2m, good) in April and has plenty of scope for further improvement in handicaps.
-
James Bowen 20%5P31-5No signal12/1 13/2 12/1Front-runner who was left clear just after final fence to score at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April, opening his chase account at the 12th attempt, but needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run there 12 days ago.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%46No signalSP FCST 28/19-2 when fourth of seven, beaten just over 5l, on debut in warm novice at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) in April; well beaten at Haydock (1m2f, soft) since and has something to prove on slow ground, but she's an each-way contender if rediscovering her initial promise.
-
Myla Coppins 17%Tony Carroll 13%471769No signal11/1 16/1 11/1Last two wins have come in 0-50 classified events, the latest over C&D (good) last August; down another 3lb but others look more solid.
-
Jonny Peate 9%James Fanshawe 18%10-665No signal13/2 5/1 6/1Easily landed an uncompetitive fillies' novice at Southwell (1m, Tapeta; 4-11) last September, but hasn't built on it; return to this trip may suit but others are more compelling.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%Pat Phelan 8%-16744No signal12/1 9/1 11/1Sole success in 17 starts came in a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (1m, AW) in January; ran well when fourth of 11 here (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago but has still to convince over this far.
-
Robert Havlin 15%—No signal2/1 7/4 31/19Colt by Dubawi; thirteenth foal; half-brother to eight winners including Enable (1m-1m4f including 2yo/AW/Oaks/dual Arc; RPR 129), Derab (Listed-placed 1m; 115) and Contribution (1m4f/1m7f; 106); dam 1m2f winner (including Listed; 102), sister to 12.5f Group 2 winner Dance Routine; bred to be smart and he's of interest on debut.
-
Conor O'Farrell 12%Neil Mulholland 15%412-21No signal11/10 5/6 11/10Scored over hurdles at start of this year and built upon his promising chase debut when winning four-runner race at Plumpton (2m4f, good) a fortnight ago; only 3lb higher here and probably still on the upgrade; wears tongue-tie for first time; good chance.
-
Ben Harvey 7%D M Christie 5%/P/U-PNo signal22/1 33/1 22/1Maiden pointer has failed to complete twice in points since return from a long absence; missed an engagement at Puchestown on Sunday.
-
0056-3No signal7/1 11/2 13/2Has shown promise in two starts since returning from a break; has an edge over Avandra on Wexford running, but that rival showed improved form when second at Tramore recently.
-
624-4No signal13/2 FCST 6/1Went closest in three bumper starts when runner-up over C&D last August; made some errors but a fair run on hurdles/seasonal debut back here last time; can improve from that and course form is a positive so is likely to go well.
-
/7005-No signal9/2 7/2 9/2Mildly promising bumper debut in a 2024 contest won by Bambino Fever, well held in two 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdles; took a small step in the right direction when fifth at Tramore in April; place chance.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Edward Bethell 17%56-4No signal13/2 9/2 6/1She's raced three times and she showed up well before fading into fourth on her reappearance in a maiden at Newcastle (1m, AW) in April; her pedigree indicates this extra furlong will be a positive on her handicap debut and she's one to consider.
-
Kevin Sexton 9%6P-FP2No signal9/1 11/1 17/2Much-improved when runner-up, albeit beaten 15l, in a Wexford maiden hurdle last time; a 7lb rise for that makes it more difficult on handicap debut but can go well with a repeat.
-
Mr H C Swan 19%P A Fahy 6%—No signal9/1 FCST 8/1Fifth foal; half-sister to 3m hurdle/chase winner Lunar Contact; dam unraced sister to Champion Bumper and smart 2m2f-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Briar Hill; by a top-class sire and from a smart damline so is worth a market check on debut.
-
Ben Jones 17%Ben Pauling 17%9954-3No signal7/4 3/1 31/19Made solid start to handicap career when close third of eight at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month and any improvement on that performance will give him a good shout here.
-
7No signal40/1 33/1 40/1Plenty went wrong on debut at Ballinrobe, since he was hampered early and raced a bit keenly, as well as showing a tendency to hang; not disgraced in the circumstances; may improve.
-
Peter Smithers 10%Norman Lee 5%0P4/P-No signal50/1 28/1 50/1Over four years since his last racecourse start, pulled up in a point-to-point in February.
-
5P2/22No signal5/2 5/2 2/1Came from off the pace to take second twice last month (2m4f/2m3f, good; tongue-tie added), after a long layoff, and is likely to be suited by this move back up in trip; must be considered.
-
Kieran Shoemark 14%Ed Walker 16%8No signal25/1 50/1 25/1He has a useful pedigree and may have needed his debut experience at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March, when 11-1, but he was beaten a long way and a transformation is necessary this afternoon.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Kevin Ryan 12%044-90No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Best 2yo run came when keeping on for close fourth here (6f, good) in September; however, he's struggled elsewhere on both runs this season (7.4f/7f, good to soft/AW) and a dramatic revival is needed back at Carlisle.
-
Paddy Cody 5%E Sheehy 4%97No signal33/1 22/1 33/1Idaho mare out of a half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Faugheen; tailed off on debut in a bumper at Punchestown; moderate seventh at Wexford 13 days ago; no hurdling experience.
-
6F7-33No signal5/1 11/1 9/2Has shown improved form to take third in maidens here and at Ballinrobe; perhaps a little more is needed to make the frame here.
- D
-
093P4-No signal28/1 14/1 22/1Veteran won over C&D in 2024; has been mostly over fences since during a truncated period and has to bring his best now back hurdling.
-
Tony Carroll 13%653658No signal22/1 18/1 22/10-23 and hasn't been shaping like a winner waiting to happen; cheekpieces will need to make a big difference; stable also runs Washington Heir.
-
Lorcan Williams 13%/6P4-2No signal5/1 9/2 5/1Unexposed 5yo who was clear second when upped to 3m1f and fitted with first-time cheekpieces for last month's handicap debut at Warwick (good); could still have more to offer; high on the list.
-
TBAP J Rothwell 7%00897-No signalSP FCST 28/1Second reserve; has shown little; only slight progress since switched to handicaps for his final two starts in 2025.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Roger Teal 13%-56621No signal3/1 10/3 11/4Unraced on soft; runner-up over this C&D last month before going on better at Windsor on good to firm 17 days ago; still fairly treated following a 3lb rise but testing ground would be a concern.
-
Zak Wheatley 10%Declan Carroll 11%15-543No signal14/1 10/1 14/1All six wins in Britain have been at Beverley, the latest over 7.5f last August (good); has also won at up to 1m4f there so has a chance following good run last time; soft ground a slight concern.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Tina Jackson 11%2112-2No signal7/2 7/2 10/3Won twice over 1m4f on good to firm last season; began the season with a good second at Pontefract last month (1m4f, good to soft) and could go well if coping with this softer ground.
-
Georgia Dobie 10%Craig Benton 11%0-7No signal250/1 200/1 150/1Well beaten at triple-figure odds on both starts (1m, AW).
- E
-
Charlie Maggs 14%321-56No signal15/2 12/1 13/2Showed career-best form when scoring by 9l at Stratford (3m2f, good) in April and also has a C&D success on his CV but was unable to land a telling blow on his two starts at Hexham last month and needs to kick on again to overcome current mark.
-
P-8No signal150/1 125/1 150/1Pulled up in a point; well held by Sampoet on running in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe.
-
Sean Levey 13%David Menuisier 13%95No signal80/1 66/1 50/1200-1 when beaten 22l on his debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) in April and again finished well beaten after racing freely at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) 19 days ago; probably one for handicaps later on.
-
TBANorman Lee 5%0PP-50No signalSP 40/1 50/1Reserve; dual chase winner is 0-22 over hurdles and 8lb out of the handicap so can't be fancied; a reserve in the 7.48 at Roscommon Monday.
-
