The day's horses
- A
-
/1-326No signal13/8 32/17 18/13Solid form in handicaps for John O'Donoghue; good efforts in handicaps at the Curragh (1m, soft to heavy) and at this course (1m2f, yielding to soft; had Couer d'Or behind) on first two runs for this stable; outclassed in Listed grade at Gowran but a big player if the ground deteriorates.
-
P. J. McDonald 14%Michael Bell 13%87No signal11/1 9/1 11/1Oscar Performance filly; still looked in need of the experience when seventh of nine in 5.5f Bath maiden 16 days ago; she's the sort to do better in due course.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Tom Clover 17%-48333No signal10/3 7/2 3/1Losing run up to 15, but has been running well in defeat as when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Windsor (5f, good) last month; races off the same mark, but he is another for whom this trip looks sharp enough.
-
—No signalSP100,000gns yearling; from the first crop of the stable's superstar Baaeed; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to two classy winners, out of 7f Group 3 winner; makes debut with yard in flying form and could have a big say. -
Cam Hardie 6%Tim Easterby 11%208052No signal3/1 5/2 3/1Multiple wins, including over C&D; best turf form in 2026 came when involved in a tight finish on this track in April (good; has won on soft) and although some so-so efforts since, a recent Musselburgh second suggested he has a good run in him back here.
-
Robert Dunne 8%Tony Carroll 13%9-47No signal25/1 18/1 20/1Three-time AW winner (1m6f-2m); well beaten in three spins over hurdles; lowly rated for handicap debut but he needs a spark; stablemate of Strong As Steel.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Mickey Bowen 16%/114-PNo signal10/1 15/2 9/1Scored at up to 3m over hurdles at Stratford and fences at Hexham early last summer; well below par both runs this spring after 11 months off, though, pulled up in 3m2f hurdle at Stratford in May; has it to prove now.
-
Barry McHugh 9%Noel Wilson 1%—No signal40/155,000gns yearling; second foal of 6f AW winner (RPR 100); gelded half-brother to the 5f juvenile scorer Ain't Nobody (including Listed; 114); best watched on debut, with various question marks lingering.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%James Owen 18%4-336No signal12/1Unraced on slower than good; showed promise in 7f and 1m maidens at Newmarket and Yarmouth in April but out of his depth on handicap debut over 1m2f at the former track and his race was run over 2f out; should have more to offer back at 1m.
-
Tom Bellamy 16%—No signal50/1 33/1 50/10-7 on the Flat for Karl Burke but showed some fair form at up to 1m5f and seems versatile ground-wise; sold for 7,000gns in the autumn; makes stable/hurdle debut after eight-month break.
-
Tom Hutsby 4%Olly Murphy 24%3921-5No signal15/2Very smart 3m-winning chaser for Gordon Elliott in 2024/25; also scored over fences for current yard at Perth (3m) in April but beat just one when tried in cheekpieces in 2m4f handicap chase at Uttoxeter 18 days ago; reverts to hurdles off a 7lb lower mark but still has something to prove.
-
David Probert 13%Andrew Balding 18%—No signal17/2 FCST 8/1150,000euros foal, 200,000gns yearling; seventh foal; No Nay Never brother to two winners notably Rudi's Apple (6f 2yo; RPR 97), half-brother to three winners including The Vegas Raider (1m2f-2m,; 82); dam Group-placed 7f/1m winner; likely to improve for this first run but respected nevertheless.
-
1/08-2No signal33/1 25/1 28/1Easily won a point bumper in March 2025 (good to soft) but did not show much in three rules bumpers (remote when second last month); significant improvement required on hurdle debut; tongue-tie removed.
-
90-800No signal25/1 20/1 25/1No win since June 2024; standout effort last year a fine second in premier fillies' handicap at this venue (1m, good to yielding); 5lb lower here but hard to fancy on this season's efforts and testing conditions also a worry.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Roger Varian 20%3-No signal4/1 9/2 7/2150,000gns yearling; sent off 14-1 when beaten 6l into third of six behind the subsequent Greenham winner Alparslan on his Leicester debut (7f, good to firm) last August, showing signs of inexperience; the form has also been franked by those behind as well so he has to be taken seriously on his return.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%James Horton 11%—No signal16/1150,000gns yearling; second foal; Blue Point half-brother to 1m/1m1f winner I Am Me (RPR 82); dam once-raced half-sister to winners including Emaraaty Ana (6f Group 1), out of 1m4f Listed winner; it's possible he's one for further down the line but is worth a second look given his purchase price.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Gemma Tutty 11%9-9889No signal7/1Ex-French; won over 6f at Chantilly in 2024 (very soft); rather disappointing since joining present yard, including at Carlisle on Tuesday when tried in cheekpieces (retained).
-
0070-1No signal10/1 8/1 10/1C&D winner last April for Paul Stafford off 13lb lower; positive start for new yard when staying on strongly to land Fairyhouse handicap (6f, good) 14 days ago by 0.5l off a seven-month layoff; up in trip and 4lb higher; handles soft; should go well again.
-
Kieran Shoemark 14%Ed Walker 16%1755-1No signal6/1 5/1 11/2Two wins last season (1m/7f, AW/good) and he added another on last month's reappearance at Haydock (7f, good); his best form has come on good ground but he's shown promise on a slow surface and this progressive 5yo could still have more to offer; respected.
-
Colin Keane 16%David O'Meara 13%-30009No signal18/1 FCST 16/1Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since and ran poorly in Dubai in three starts this year; didn't fare any better at Haydock 33 days ago, fading tamely; hard to be positive about him currently.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%George Scott 20%—No signal18/1 12/1 18/185,000euros yearling; tenth foal; Sea The Stars sister to three winners including Fifty Stars (Australian 6f-1m2f including Group 1), half-sister to winners Revolver (1m4f-2m1f; RPR 107) and Whiskey Sour (7f-2m1f Flat; 105); market check advised on debut but a useful standard is needed.
- B
-
Kielan Woods 14%Henry Oliver 8%177-52No signal9/2 5/1 9/2Doesn't help herself by tending to race too freely but won good-ground Stratford bumper in the autumn and ran big race in defeat over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) a fortnight ago; should cope if the ground eases; can make her presence felt.
-
Bryan Carver 13%55-2No signal66/1 50/1 66/1Tailed off in Newton Abbot bumper last September and returns to racing under rules after well-held second in two-finisher point last month; look elsewhere.
-
231P-1No signal13/2 4/1 13/2Front-runner who returned from seven-month break with 7l win in first-time visor at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month; only 4lb higher here but the market principals in that race disappointed and the form is of questionable value; raced mainly on good ground but has won on good to soft and been placed on soft.
-
Jason Hart 14%Charlie Johnston 13%7/0242No signal11/2 4/1 11/2Missed 2025 but proved he has retained his ability with two good runs this year, notably when second to an in-form stablemate of Sixpack over 2m at Newbury last time (good to firm); acts on any ground; can go well.
-
Tony Carroll 13%9-6878No signal18/1 12/1 18/10-10 and not progressing, with three runs for Tony Carroll yet to arrest her slide; cheekpieces offer some encouragement for better but others appeal more.
-
5322-6No signal15/2 6/1 13/2Looked rusty after seven months off when last of seven in 3m1f handicap hurdle at Huntingdon 23 days ago; this fairly useful winning hurdler can take a step forward now.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%Lucy Wadham 17%/760-0No signal28/1 FCST 25/1Five-timer for the Charlton stable between September 2023 and July 2024 included a win over C&D, but he was beaten out of sight on his stable debut/reappearance at Kempton 15 days ago; has plenty to prove now.
-
Leigh Roche 6%Gerard Kyne 4%—No signal80/1 66/1 80/1First foal; 1,000euros vendor yearling; dam unraced sister to 1m-1m4f Flat and 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Snookered, out of 1m winner; others preferred.
-
Jack Tudor 13%44-7No signal18/1 15/2 14/1Won on the Flat (about 1m3f) in June 2024; well beaten all three starts over hurdles, including when jumping left on occasions at Ffos Las (2m4f; handicap debut) three weeks ago; now 3lb lower; look elsewhere.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%—No signal7/1 7/1 6/162,000gns 2yo; Inns Of Court colt; half-brother to 5f winner Miss Yechance (RPR 92); dam, 5f 2yo winner (RPR 82), is a half-sister to US 8.5f stakes winner Fuente Ovejuna, out of a maiden half-sister to French 1m2f Group 1 winner Jemayel; hooded for his debut but in good hands and needs considering.
-
Richard Hannon 12%4-74No signal6/1 4/1 9/2Promising fourth at Kempton (7f, AW) on sole 2yo start and, while he's been well beaten in novices here (1m2f, good) and at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on both runs this year, he's been behind classy winners; has far more realistic claims on this handicap debut; interesting, especially if backed.
-
7842-6No signalSP FCST 5/1A bit in and out since winning narrowly from 2lb lower at Chepstow (7f, good) last July; could do with the ground drying out.
-
Harry Bannister 13%Alex Hales 11%62601-No signal9/2 4/1 7/2Broke his duck over jumps at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in January; that wasn't a particularly strong contest and he has been absent since; now 3lb higher.
-
Harry Skelton 27%Dan Skelton 22%806-16No signal7/2 5/2 3/1Easily resumed winning ways at Newton Abbot (2m1f) in May and not discredited off a 7lb higher mark when sixth of ten in 2m1f handicap at Cartmel 19 days ago; not out of things back up in trip.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Jim Boyle 10%768276No signal8/1 FCST 15/2Best effort when second of six on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April, but he didn't get home on turf debut there (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago, which is a worry stepping up again in trip; stable also runs Darkest Red.
-
Harry Skelton 27%Dan Skelton 22%8-1111WHTW Whisper 1 signal8/13 FCST 9/17Fast-improving mare who has been on the rampage over the last fortnight, winning two 2m chases and two hurdles (2m4f/2m) on good ground; carries 7lb penalty for Tuesday's success over fences at Southwell but did that pretty easily; obvious contender, providing she's not derailed by significant rain.
-
Harry Atkins 11%522-45No signal10/1 10/1 8/1Not beaten far when last of four in Warwick hunter chase (3m, good) last month but managed only fifth of seven in a subsequent point; back in a handicap chase for stable debut; quite tricky to weigh up at the moment; seems best suited by good ground.
-
Pat Dobbs 14%Richard Hannon 12%34-464No signal20/1 FCST 16/10-14 since winning in December 2024 on third start but he's been a close fourth over 7f on AW on two of his last three starts, and he ran well on good to soft last August when he last tackled turf (unraced on softer); solid each-way contender.
-
William Carver 10%Jamie Osborne 12%—No signal11/1 11/1 10/150,000euros yearling; Showcasing colt; dam, Group-placed 6f winner (RPR 101), is out of an unraced half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Claremont; appeals on paper so he can't be ruled out, especially if the market vibes are positive.
-
—No signal2/1 2/1 32/17Blue Point filly cost 850,000euros as a yearling; closely related to smart 1m-1m2f winner Botanical (RPR 117), half-sister to last weekend's impressive Coronation Cup winner Bay City Roller; dam 1m2f-1m6f winner (inc Listed); easy winner of 7f Naas barrier trial last month; could be exciting.
-
622-32No signal4/1 FCST 7/2Dual point winner; still seeking first rules win (0-6); likes to race prominently, weakening on the run-in when last seen over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) in April; went down fighting over fences at Stratford 12 days ago; player.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Jonathan Portman 13%3143-2No signal10/1 17/2 9/1Won an ordinary 7f maiden at Salisbury (good to firm) last August on third outing; had surface queries (heavy then AW) on final 2yo starts but she resumed with a good run at Nottingham (about 1m, good), where she kept persevering when chasing home a next-time winner; can progress further.
-
Rhys Elliott 7%Michael Dods 12%74-051No signal7/2 10/3 7/2Off the mark in a tight finish at Redcar (5f; good to firm; 12-1) latest; that form has taken a couple of hits (second and third soundly beaten since) and has more to do from this 3lb higher mark; the prospect of rain is also a legitimate concern.
-
David Probert 13%J. S. Moore 7%97-087No signal11/1 FCST 17/2Soundly beaten on final two runs last year (1m, AW) and same story on his three outings this spring (6f, AW/good/good to firm); arrives with something to prove but he's 5lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (soft) last October and the return to slow ground could facilitate a major revival.
- C
-
A. Slattery 11%—No signal11/1 10/1 11/1Awtaad filly cost 40,000euros as a yearling; dam unraced half-sister to Sea Silk Road (1m6f Group 1), out of German 7.5f 2yo Listed winning half-sister to 1m6f Group 3 winner Oriental Eagle; market can guide.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%William Haggas 23%7-6461No signal5/4 5/4 11/10Off the mark at the sixth attempt when winning a Class 5 handicap at Thirsk last month (1m4f, good), travelling strongly but taking a while to pick up before seeing her race out well; up 5lb but she's bred to be smart and this additional distance looks a big plus; strong contender.
-
Gavin Ryan 8%—No signal5/2 5/2 9/4Price increased to 46,000euros as a yearling; half-sister to French winner Gregolimo (1m2f/10.5f inc 2yo/AW/Listed; RPR 108); dam French 6f-7.5f winner; stuck to her task well when seeing off Lily Bear in 7f Naas barrier trial last month; top connections and receives 4lb from that filly here.
-
Sean Levey 13%Richard Hannon 12%—No signal10/1 9/1 10/180,000euros foal, 95,000euros yearling; third foal; Minzaal half-brother to 7f AW winner They All Know Me (RPR 81); dam 6f winner (including 2yo; 87), half-sister to 5f 2yo Listed winner Dave Dexter; one of four declared runners for Richard Hannon and the betting can be informative on debut.
-
402-17No signal9/2Ran nine times for Ollie Sangster, winning twice as a 2yo; best run for that stable came at Saint-Cloud (1m, heavy) when second in Listed; career-best on debut for this stable when winning Group 3 at the Curragh in April, worth more than the 0.5l winning margin suggests; backed up that run in less testing conditions when beaten 3l into seventh in Group 2 18 days ago; big shout back on favoured ground; down in trip.
-
Jamie Powell 8%J. P. Murtagh 11%—No signal9/1 8/1 17/2Thunder Moon filly; 20,000euros vendor yearling; dam French 10.5f/1m3f winner, half-sister to 1m5f Flat and useful 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner River Frost, out of unraced half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Passing Glance; yard 0-14 with 2yos this year.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Zoe Hawkins 7%7471-1No signal18/1 11/1 14/1Went very close in this last year (good) and, having ended 2025 with a win at Kempton (7f, AW), he reappeared with another there (7f) last month; he can be bang there if handling conditions (unproven on slow ground).
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Ben Haslam 14%845-76No signal12/1 9/1 11/1Not a great deal to celebrate in her six runs to date, the latest of them at Carlisle on Monday (6f, soft); new cheekpieces need to spark a surge of improvement.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%072836No signal10/1 10/1 9/1Maiden after ten starts, seemingly best on the AW but he could never get involved on apparently favourable terms in a Wolverhampton classified event recently and has work to do back on turf.
-
P Sweeney 7%7-9500No signal33/1 22/1 28/1Won five times in Britain, latest in August; shaped well a couple of times on the AW for this stable but didn't beat a rival home the last twice on turf, slowly away both times; down 3lb.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%6433-UNo signal9/1 13/2 8/1Has made the frame seven times, but now 0-14 and is virtually reappearing from six months off having unseated his rider exiting the stalls at Nottingham last month; that wasn't the first time he has had issues at the start so is probably best watched; blinkers given a go.
-
Luke Morris 12%Tom Clover 17%996-No signal6/1 5/1 6/1Well held in three starts over 7f on turf/AW late last year; off six months, but this trip is more in line with his pedigree and worth a second look in the first-time tongue-tie.
-
Charles Bishop 10%Ian Williams 11%51/6/No signal33/1 16/1 33/1Three runs for Charlie Appleby up to April 2023, winning at Ascot on the middle outing; gelded since and sold for 140,000 UAE Dirham in March 2024; on a handy mark if retaining his past promise and he's one to watch in the betting on stable debut, but it's a very hefty absence to defy.
-
Mark Fahey 13%/0138-No signal16/1 10/1 14/1Record of 6-36 on turf with three of those at his beloved Galway; rounded off last year with midfield finish at that venue from a tough draw; handles the mud but usually needs the comeback run.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%—No signal7/1 FCST 13/2100,000gns yearling; first foal; dam runner-up 1m in US, half-sister to Cheveley Park and 1,000 Guineas winner Special Duty; trainer's 2yos are running well and this No Nay Never newcomer is one to watch in the betting.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%P J F Murphy 5%—No signal28/1 25/1 28/1Fifth foal cost 37,000euros; sister to Key To Cotai (Listed-placed 5f 2yo/7f; RPR 97); dam 5f-7f 2yo winner (85); stable 0-63 with 2yos.
-
Rowan Scott 11%Tristan Davidson 15%7-8307No signal16/1 14/1 16/1Three wins last June/July including this race on good ground and another handicap over C&D on good to firm in July; creditable third at Ayr early last month but not so good since; makes a quick reappearance after a below-par run on soft ground on Monday (6f).
-
43000-No signal50/1Showed some ability on the Flat in France last year without winning but has been poor in three Irish runs, including over hurdles twice for this yard; best watched.
-
40-063No signal10/3 5/2 3/1Four-time winner but not since Irish Cambridgeshire win of 2024; definite encouragement on penultimate run at this track (1m2f) when beaten 3.5l in sixth; kept on well to take 1l third at Cork (10.5f, good to yielding) on latest; off a winnable mark and drop in trip is in this veteran's favour.
-
Clifford Lee 17%K. R. Burke 20%—No signal6/4 18/13 3/2By Too Darn Hot; 270,000gns foal; first foal; dam 1m AW winner; interesting newcomer who should be checked in the market.
-
Colin Keane 16%46333-No signal18/10-16 on the Flat, six on the turf; consistent on the AW during the winter and failed to make an impact in three hurdle runs since; ground a question mark; off ten days since finishing eighth in Listowel maiden hurdle.
-
Tom Marquand 16%William Haggas 23%4637-7No signal9/1 12/1 9/1Won over C&D (good) last April on debut; hasn't really progressed and has finished merely seventh in 1m6f/1m2f Listed races on her last two starts (tailed off last time); however, it's possible this half-sister to connections' crack 6f/7f performer Sacred will appreciate the drop back in trip.
-
William Carson 10%484396No signal8/1 13/2 15/2Veteran who is 9-46 on the AW, but 0-22 on turf while his losing run is up to 16 despite a plummeting mark; others preferred.
-
Hope Regan 2%Mark Loughnane 10%-49436No signal10/1 FCST 9/10-18; has made the frame on several occasions, but 7f on a straight track like this may just stretch her.
-
883No signal12/1Down the field at big odds this spring on first two runs (1m, good) but showed improved form in a first-time hood (retained) when third at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last time; the manner in which he kept on provides optimism for 1m4f and he's one to consider on handicap debut.
-
Jack Callan 14%James Tate 19%-71516No signal11/1 7/1 11/12-4 in AW handicaps with both wins coming over 1m4f at Kempton, but she was well beaten in the other two; not quite sure what to expect on turf debut, but she is the only previous winner in the field.
-
Jack Callan 14%5520-8No signalSPLooked a winner waiting to happen when second of 20 in a sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last August, but heavy defeats in both outings since need forgiving (gelded before latest start); has undergone wind surgery since last seen.
-
Jack Callan 14%Phil McEntee 11%300718No signal9/2 4/1 7/2Five-time AW winner who was getting off the mark on turf at the 16th attempt when successful at Nottingham (6f, good) eight days ago; however, he was well beaten over this C&D (soft) yesterday.
-
Rian Corcoran 16%Jack Jones 12%—No signal15/2 13/2 6/123,000gns yearling; second foal; half-sister to a fair sprinter; dam well-connected 6f winner; not an obvious type for bumpers but represents good Flat stable and has presumably inherited stamina from his sire.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%E McNamara 10%9607-0No signal28/1 28/1 25/1Little promise in five maiden starts and down the field on handicap debut at Listowel 11 days ago; up in trip.
-
Shane Foley 11%32No signalevn 11/10 EvsBit green but got the message late on when third on her course debut (1m, good to yielding; runner-up won the Oaks last weekend); beaten odds-on favourite when second at Naas next time (1m, good); sets a good standard.
- D
-
Sean Bowen 24%—No signal13/2 9/2 13/2Failed to build upon last spring's quite promising Irish Flat debut when unplaced odds-on favourite in AW maiden in January but was given a wind op soon afterwards and has joined good stable for hurdling career.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%Jim Boyle 10%77-622No signal2/1 5/2 2/1Gradually getting there, beaten under a length here (1m2f, good) in April and going down by a short head in a 14-runner event at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month, finishing nicely clear of the rest; up 4lb, but still looks the one to beat.
-
Luke McAteer 8%Jack Foley 11%—No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Sottsass filly cost 21,000euros as a foal; half-sister to five winners inc Galles (UAE 1m1f-9.7f dirt), Longden (US 8.5f dirt/1m1f turf) and Golden Valour (7f-10.6f inc AW;); dam 1m winner; stable's sole 2yo runner this season won so worth monitoring.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%Harry Eustace 13%4-9No signal12/1 FCST 11/1100,000gns foal; well held in two novices (6f/7f) seven months apart; handicaps over further may be more suitable after this.
-
George Bass 12%Jack Channon 14%31No signal6/4 31/19 3/2Study Of Man colt who shaped really well with a debut Newbury third before cosily landing 11-runner novice at Windsor (1m) last month; has to concede weight all round but looks to have more to offer; big player.
-
T G McCourt 7%4-2327No signal11/1 10/1 11/1Maiden in 17 starts but was placed on the AW three times this year and ran well from the front 83 days ago from a wide draw; low mark but hard to have too much confidence back on turf up in trip, especially on soft ground.
-
Wesley Joyce 6%3531-0No signal9/1 12/1 9/1Two-time winner, including over this trip on heavy at Gowran Park last year off 8lb lower; latest win at Bellewstown (1m, g/y) in August; satisfactory return over inadequate trip at Navan 26 days ago; 3lb drop generous and player with ground likely to suit.
-
Charlie Price 12%PPP4-3No signal16/1 FCST 12/1Very inconsistent for Dan Skelton last season but ran well from the front when third here (2m4f, good) on stable debut three weeks ago and won't mind if the ground is much slower today (has won on heavy); unexposed over this sort of trip; a possible if in the right mood again.
-
Mike Murphy 12%5-454No signal4/1 7/2 10/3All four starts have come over 7f on the AW and she has shown ability, as when fourth of 12 on handicap debut at Kempton last month; still unexposed and respected if showing similar form on turf.
-
Bradley Harris 17%Neil Mulholland 15%—No signal10/1 FCST 8/1First foal; dam point winner, out of unraced half-sister to Midlands Grand National winner Russian Trigger; stable has healthy strike-rate in bumpers (12%); market may guide.
-

Jack Gilligan 10%Roy Bowring 14%8104-3No signal7/2 FCST 10/3C&D winner last August (good; has won on soft); has often run well or won following a break and he did so again when involved in a close finish at Thirsk last week on first run since October; weighted to find another race and likely to be involved.
-
Mr James Murray 14%Mickey Bowen 16%—No signal6/1 6/1 11/2First foal; dam unplaced in bumper/over hurdles, sister to useful jumper Mac Tottie; wears a tongue-tie; stable does well in bumpers.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Simon Pearce 13%5776-5No signal20/1 12/1 16/10-24 under rules, but has made the frame three times in eight visits here; could sneak into the frame again.
-
William Carson 10%Adam Kirby 12%421124No signal15/2 13/2 7/1All three wins have come over 6f on the AW including two in April; handles turf, but he has a fair bit to find with Neyva's Angel on their meeting here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; he too may be better over further.
-
Andrew Balding 18%47No signal20/1 16/1 20/1Encouraging fourth of 14 on debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in April; didn't build on that when seventh of ten at Windsor (1m, good) last month but she stumbled leaving the stalls and could get closer to the target today.
-
Mason Paetel(3) 11%Hugo Palmer 13%4-1775No signal9/2 4/1 9/2Reeled off a fast-ground 1m hat-trick last spring; better than ever when landing a 1m2f handicap at Newcastle on his seasonal return in February; no further progress and he drops back to 1m on a recovery mission; today's drop in grade will suit.
-
Kieran Shoemark 14%Ed Walker 16%4No signal15/228-1 and beaten just over 7l when fourth of 12 on last month's debut at Lingfield (1m, AW); however, she made some late headway and could be sharper for that experience; not ruled out over this extra furlong.
-
Sean Bowen 24%—No signal9/2 7/2 4/1Useful Flat racer who was placed in Class 3 AW handicap (2m; RPR 89) on latest outing last summer; changed hands for 13,000gns in the autumn; has form on good and soft ground; will be dangerous at this level if he takes adequately to hurdling at the first attempt.
-
Cam Hardie 6%474-98No signal14/1 11/1 14/1Yet to be placed after eight attempts; drops back to 6f for his first attempt in classified company but he is not a solid option.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Edward Bethell 17%3No signal4/1Half-brother to four winners; did as well as could be expected when a weakening third over 7f here (maiden, good to firm; 17-2) 12 days ago; dropping back to 6f should be fine, although the ground conditions are now likely to be slower; chance.
- U
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Ben Clarke 13%3No signal11/4 FCST 2/1Half-sister to fairly useful chaser Pure Carbon; made promising debut when clear third of ten under positive ride at Newton Abbot (good) last month and ought to put that experience to good use here.
-
75No signal100/1 66/1 100/1Huge prices and well beaten in two starts over 6f on good ground in April, the latest here (hooded both times); best watched for now.
-
Zac Lloyd 15%2No signal13/8 FCST 3/2220,000gns yearling; 9-2 when second of 12 on his Salisbury debut (6f, good) last month; not sure how stong the form is with the third horse finishing a well beaten third of four at Leicester on Monday, but he is open to improvement.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Harry Eustace 13%427-93No signal4/1 9/2 7/2Lightly raced maiden; tends to pull hard but sound run when third at Yarmouth last time (7f, good); can make the running which would be an asset round here; interesting.
- V
-
13-170No signal16/1 11/1 14/1Added second turf win when keeping on well to comfortably land course handicap (1m, good to yielding) on seasonal return; follow-up attempt under 7lb penalty came too quickly on softer ground; tailed off last time at Naas.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%2-2275No signal5/2 7/2 32/17Dual C&D winner on soft ground, the latest off a 6lb higher mark in October 2024; plenty of sound runs since (placed over C&D on four occasions); each-way chance.

-
Joey Haynes 10%Chelsea Banham 15%779531No signal2/1 31/19 7/4Last 23 starts have come on the AW and he is 4lb well in under a penalty for his emphatic success in refitted blinkers at Lingfield (6f) ten days ago; he has won twice on turf, though, so the change in surface shouldn't be an issue; major player.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%34-581No signal11/1 17/2 9/1Limerick maiden winner on soft; followed a poor run over 6f at Cork with a career-best at Naas (7f, gd) 25 days ago when making all in Listed race; needs to build on that and not guaranteed to do so; likely to go forward.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Mark Loughnane 10%933-80No signal66/1 FCST 50/1Sole win (from 12 races) came in C&D novice in July 2023; reduced mark appeals on some good efforts last August/September but he's been well below that level on both outings this spring; unproven on slow ground.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%Mark Loughnane 10%6-5169No signal20/1Improved for the step up to 1m4f, addition of headgear (cheekpieces) and switch to handicaps when a well-backed winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form when sixth at Kempton three weeks later but latest run (blinkered first time) was disappointing; upped to 1m6f for his turf debut and he needs more for it.
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Seamus Mullins 11%209U-4No signal10/1 FCST 9/1Won at Wincanton (1m7f, good; from 2lb lower) last November, but lost his way and unseated in March; stayed on into modest fourth at Hexham (2m; beaten 12l) three weeks ago, though; slightly more needed.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Harry Eustace 13%4No signal5/4 11/10 6/5160,000euros yearling by Kingman out of a 1m juvenile winner; promising 2.75l fourth of ten on last month's Newbury debut (6f, good; 16-1, not getting the best of runs); 7f should suit; improvement likely.
-
Sean Levey 13%Richard Hannon 12%22-423No signal11/4 7/2 5/2A Southwell maiden win last summer remains his only success after 15 attempts but he has run good races in defeat in all three starts this year; conditions should suit well and he is more appealing than most.
-
Kevin Stott 15%Michael Appleby 13%753416No signal3/1 5/2 3/1Effective at 5f/6f on turf and AW; easy winner at Nottingham in April (6f, good) for which he went back up 8lb; not so good on AW next time but has a chance back on turf.
-
Charlie Todd 9%Ian Williams 11%90P2-3No signal16/1Still unexposed under rules and was seemingly aided by new cheekpieces when second of four at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; that form isn't anything to get excited about, though, and he was well held when third at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month; now tries a visor; forecast rain probably not ideal.
-
446409No signal20/1 20/1 18/1Eight-race maiden who showed a little ability on the AW at the start of the year, but her two efforts for this yard leave plenty to be desired.
-
William Cox 5%Tom Lacey 19%7No signal12/133-1 but hinted at promise with debut seventh of nine in maiden at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago; this son of Sergei Prokofiev can build on it now.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Jonathan Portman 13%65-141No signal7/2She has looked an improved performer this year, winning at Beverley on her reappearance (8.5f, good to soft) and adding a C&D fillies' handicap last month (good to soft); up in class and now taking on male opposition but she shouldn't be underestimated.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Ben Haslam 14%9-0075No signal9/1 7/1 9/1Flexible regarding the going; had mixed results since winning at Pontefract (5f, soft) last October, but he wasn't far away after making the running at Ripon recently and is now 2lb lower than that last winning mark; probably needs a bit more.
-
James Owen 18%708635No signal11/4 9/2 5/2Both wins came in Ireland in the autumn of 2023; not beaten far in his last two starts in 0-70 handicaps at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) and Southwell (1m3f, AW) and even if those efforts flatter him, they still make impressive reading at this level.

George Wood 11%—No signal8/1£50,000 yearling; dam 5f/6f AW winner (including 2yo; RPR 103), closely related to 1m Listed winner Zurigha, half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner Lily's Angel, out of unraced half-sister to French 10.5f Group 3 winner In Clover; already gelded but his pedigree makes him well worth a market check.
-
Zak Wheatley 10%Declan Carroll 11%080-77No signal14/1 11/1 12/1Just modest form in her five starts, including in a classified event at Wolverhampton ten days ago; the return to 6f isn't enough to tempt.
-
John Butler 13%47-051No signal9/4 5/2 9/4Was winning for the first time since his debut when just getting the better of Patrol at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month; 5lb higher and could probably do with the ground drying out (best form on good or faster), but still respected.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Richard Spencer 15%56130-No signal11/1 FCST 10/1Showed promise against talented rivals before winning a 7f Sandown handicap (soft) last August, relishing that stiff finish; creditable show in a higher grade at Doncaster after before well held in a valuable sales race last October; gelded since and he should stay 1m; of interest.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Tony Carroll 13%881110No signal33/1 28/1 33/1Was recording wins eight, nine and ten when rattling off an AW hat-trick this spring (1m-8.6f); the wheels came off when well-beaten over C&D 33 days ago, however, and this mark looks beyond him.

Sean Dylan Bowen 11%Charlie Clover 21%81555-No signalSP FCST 13/22-28, his latest success coming in a similar contest over C&D (good) just under a year ago; a player if producing his best form.

R. P. Cleary 6%00083-No signal12/1 9/1 11/1Much-improved effort on fifth run when going close to landing a gamble at Down Royal (7f, gd) in September, beaten 2l into third by Sovereign Thought; travelled through the race like she was well treated; up 4lb and off 279 days; soft ground an unknown.
-
Ben Coen 11%J. P. Murtagh 11%013-No signal10/1 10/1 17/2Looked potentially smart when storming 4.25l clear in C&D maiden last year on second start; improved on that to be beaten 2l into third in this race last year, shaping particularly well on unfavoured side of the track; off since; open to plenty of improvement and a big player.
No horse matches that.
