Mrs Deborah Cody 13%0-5515No signal15/2 9/2 15/2A winner at Ballinrobe on her penultimate outing and running close to her mark in fifth at Gowran Park last time, A Pretty Penny is effective at 8–10f on a sound surface and returns to familiar conditions. Proven over course and distance, this looks a prime opportunity for her to go close again.
-
Georgia Dobie 10%Craig Benton 11%43/067No signal66/1 40/1 50/1Held off the pace and beaten ten lengths at Salisbury last time, Addictive was out of form in recent starts; effective at five to six furlongs on a sound surface and showed promise before the recent dip, but a bit to prove before this field can be trusted with confidence.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Dean Ivory 9%—No signal20/1 8/1 18/1A 260,000 guineas breeze-up purchase by Naval Crown and a half-brother to a smart six-furlong performer, Ahoy has the profile to make a reasonable debut showing; unraced so far, but the pedigree and price suggest the stable believes this one can have a say first time out.
-
Jack Callan 14%Mike Murphy 12%171441No signalSP 11/2 13/2Landed a handicap here last time, getting up by a neck, and clearly handles this course and trip well; three wins in recent starts underline the form and today's ground is fine. First-time hood fitted, but carrying a full weight at the top of the handicap will make it harder to repeat.
-
Harry Vigors 12%Chris Gordon 13%544814No signal9/2 11/2 7/2Fourth last time off the same mark as today, Alashos shaped in line with recent form and looks capable of going well here; suited by six furlongs on a sound surface and the addition of a hood for the first time could prove an aid.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%805237No signal11/4 9/2 5/2Showing signs of better of late and effective at 5f on today's going, Albegone has a top Catterick trainer handling the booking — yet to score in recent starts but the fresh angle of first-time blinkers and a fair mark make him a genuine each-way player.
-
Zak Wheatley 10%Declan Carroll 11%847-18No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Landed a success off a lower mark at Southwell penultimate start but below form in eighth off 74 last time, Alessia Fernanda is in and out of form at 7-9f on most going — first-time tongue-tie adds an unknown dimension and she may have more to offer if it helps her settle.
-
Tom Marquand 16%Robert Cowell 13%2421V0No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Almaty Star was hugely below form last time, finishing eighteenth when beaten nineteen lengths off a mark a pound higher, and requires a major bounce back here; enjoys front-running tactics at five furlongs on a sound surface and wears a visor for the first time, but that latest run asks serious questions.
-
Brian Ellison 10%0866No signal20/1 14/1 16/1Without a win in four recent starts, kept well off the pace when comfortably beaten here last time; acts on a sound surface over 7f but needs to find significantly more on current ratings.
-
Neil Callan 14%60-929No signal9/1 16/1 9/1Placed at Lingfield in fair form earlier in the campaign and handles this course and going; first-time visor could be a catalyst. Last time at Bath, though, barely figured at any stage, beaten four lengths, and needs to recapture that earlier promise to get involved.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Max Comley 13%-35924No signal22/1 9/1 20/1Wearing cheekpieces for the first time, Amazing Anita was fourth at Wolverhampton last time off this same mark; effective at seven to eight furlongs on the all-weather and has placed in recent starts, so the chance is there if she builds on that latest effort back on turf.
-
Cam Hardie 6%Paul Midgley 11%8No signal100/1 50/1 66/1Beaten 7 lengths on debut at Wetherby, Angel Steps has plenty to prove in another novice company and ranks last on our figures. The trainer is firing at just 4% over the last fortnight, so there is little in the formbook to encourage.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%-87519No signal10/3 4/1 11/4Was well adrift after a slow start at Ayr last time but had previously taken a handicap and showed ability over this course and distance; a top trainer at the track and much better is clearly needed, though the course record suggests a return to form is possible.
-
David Nolan 12%Martin Todhunter 10%603-06No signal3/1 2/1 3/1Effective over staying trips on most ground, Arrange briefly threatened before fading into sixth at Thirsk last time and may not be what she was — but with a much-reduced mark in a small field, a return to better form cannot be ruled out.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%Marco Botti 16%213BBoDWHTW Nod 2 signals11/4 9/4 11/4Third on his most recent start at Lingfield off a mark a pound higher, Astrological has been consistent in a short but progressive career; effective at ten to twelve furlongs on the all-weather, with a win in recent form and more improvement expected from this lightly raced sort.
-
Jason Watson 13%Philip McBride 13%—No signal33/1 20/1 25/1Pedigree appeals: a Territories filly and half-sister to a very smart 6f performer, with the top course jockey in the saddle. Unraced, though, and likely to need this debut outing before producing her best.
- B
-
-04394No signal9/1 10/1 8/1Fourth at Gowran Park last time, finishing well late from off the pace, Balance Of Trade is proven at today's trip and acts on heavy and yielding ground. Inconsistency is the caveat — winless in recent starts — and a wide draw in first-time cheekpieces adds uncertainty.
-
42690-SSteamer Whisper 1 signal18/1 18/1 16/1Well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time, Barrogstown Girl must prove herself back on the flat, where earlier form showed promise — including runner-up at best. All to prove on this return to the flat discipline.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Clive Cox 17%5141-0No signal18/1 9/1 18/1A horse with two wins in the last five starts, Bassenthwaite returns from five months off the track and drops back to the minimum trip, which should suit having possibly found six furlongs too far last time; effective at five furlongs on good and the all-weather, the drop in trip looks the key angle.
-
Finley Marsh 14%5933-0No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Two placed efforts earlier in the season and acts on a wide range of surfaces; Bated Breeze handles 6-7f and the course is familiar. A well-beaten effort here last time is a concern and a wide draw in stall 11 does not help — needs to recapture earlier form.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%Rebecca Menzies 11%386222No signal3/1 2/1 3/1Three successive runner-up finishes including off this very mark at Carlisle last time — beaten only three quarters of a length — show Battenburg Belle is in consistent form at 6f on today's going; a cold trainer strike rate is the one reservation for a mare who keeps finding one too good.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Rod Millman 13%6300-7No signal7/1 10/1 13/2Winless in five recent starts and beaten six lengths at Chepstow last time, Be An Angel has been below her best of late; suited by six furlongs on most ground and capable of better, but more is needed here before she can seriously threaten.
-
Mason Paetel(3) 11%7842-6No signal17/2 14/1 15/2Placed second at Lingfield earlier in the season and handles the course and trip on a sound surface; was in fair form prior. Most recently, though, Bear To Dream was ridden to see out the trip and found it all too much, beaten over seven lengths, and needs a stronger pace to aim at.
-
Myla Coppins 17%Tony Carroll 13%764470No signal5/1 12/1 9/2Winless in its last six starts and beaten nine and a half lengths at Southwell last time, Beelzebub now returns to turf after a break of 68 days; effective at six to seven furlongs on good to firm and the all-weather, but a significant turnaround in form from a lower mark is required.
-
James Ryan 7%0No signal150/1 125/1 150/1Down the field at Roscommon on debut, Believe Again has experience of today's distance and going but that performance left plenty to prove. Faces a stiff task here and must show considerably better.
-
43-466No signal7/2 10/3 3/1First-time cheekpieces may sharpen things up for a horse that has placed form at this going and is capable of better than the last two outings; winless in recent starts but generally a solid performer when at her best. Needs to recapture that form to feature.
-
6No signal15/2 9/1 7/1Fourth on his last flat outing and only easing late back up in trip over hurdles at Listowel last time, Big Dispute is effective at 10f on good-to-yielding ground. A return to the flat looks the right direction and he holds a reasonable chance here — just needs to find a bit more.
-
Neil Callan 14%10-403No signal6/1 9/2 6/1Third at Lingfield most recently, beaten four and a half lengths, and acts well on sharp tracks over today's sort of trip; generally consistent and the first-time visor is a new angle. Ranked fifth on our figures, though, and must step up to trouble the principals.
-
Jason Hart 14%Ivan Furtado 10%092-16No signal7/2 4/1 3/1Placed when clear second, having gone to the front and been beaten three lengths at Doncaster last time off a mark just 1lb higher than today; acts at 7f on good to soft and good to firm, and kept on well when tested — a solid threat if reproducing that level.
-
Megan Smith 0%George Boughey 18%43-655No signal25/1 10/1 22/1Cheekpieces go on for the first time for Blindfold Games, who was beaten four lengths off a mark just a pound higher at Yarmouth last time in her best recent effort; yet to win in her last five starts, she needs to build on that to get involved here.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%James Tate 19%347324No signal9/1 6/1 9/1Beaten four and a half lengths at Nottingham last time when lacking early pace, Blue Celestial has placed consistently over seven to eight furlongs on good ground and the all-weather; winless in six recent starts but a consistent, honest sort who can go well again.
-
18-749No signal18/1 12/1 18/1Below form when dropped in trip at Wolverhampton last time, Blue Jay Way has been in better form over 6-7f and is fitted with first-time cheekpieces for this return to a more suitable distance — inconsistent but not without ability on a workable mark.
-
William Pyle 9%Phillip Makin 12%86264No signalSP 3/1 4/1Beaten only three and a quarter lengths into fourth at Carlisle last time in first-time blinkers, and the trainer is in form; effective at 5-6f so stamina at today's extended trip is the main uncertainty, though the form gives her a live chance.
-
Charles Bishop 10%—No signal18/1 10/1 16/1A 58,000 guineas Bayside Boy gelding and a half-brother to a high-class six-furlong performer, Bollengo Boy catches the eye on breeding and the yard is capable of getting a newcomer ready on debut; worth consideration first time out.
-
9-1770No signal40/1 33/1 40/1Below form at Fairyhouse last time and ranked among the outsiders on our figures, Brave Approach won over 8f and is effective on AW ground. Dropping in trip here is a plus, but a bounce-back is required to figure in this competitive field.
-
Kathy Turner 18%01No signal3/1 7/2 3/1Getting off the mark over seven furlongs at Chepstow last time with a determined display, Brocklesby Bill comes here under a penalty which makes the task harder; effective at seven furlongs on good to firm and the addition of a hood for the first time is worth noting, though more is likely needed under the penalty.
-
A. J. Martin 7%000-90No signal17/2 11/2 8/1Capable of better and effective at 10–13f, Bruant has been slipping down the flat handicap ladder to an attractive mark and now wears a hood for the first time. Landing a hurdle at Downpatrick last time, he arrives with a recent positive and improvement is expected if the hood helps him translate that ability on the flat.
- C
-
Oisin Murphy 22%2-3625No signal9/2 13/2 9/2Beaten six lengths at Lingfield last time but having run to form to take second over course and distance two starts back, Cabeza De Llave has a relevant C&D angle to call on; effective at five furlongs on any surface and with a top course jockey booked, a return to that Windsor level makes this the one to beat.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%44No signal10/1 FCST 7/1Sprint-bred and stepping forward from a fourth at Ripon last time — where a positive ride showed encouragement — Calef looks capable of better yet to score, and Catterick's sharp track could bring more out of her. The worry is she remains winless and must convert that promise.
-
Wesley Joyce 6%88-499No signal11/2 6/1 5/1Pulled up the field and well held in a Cork handicap last time, Cameclose has it all to prove on that evidence but tries first-time blinkers and stays this trip among others; the headgear would need to spark a much sharper, more prominent showing for him to enter calculations.
-
Colin Keane 16%G. M. Lyons 16%3No signal15/8 3/2 31/19Third on debut at Limerick, Camino Lad shaped with clear promise and looks open to significant improvement at his second start. Trainer in red-hot form at 45% over the past fortnight, he acts on good-to-yielding ground and steps up in trip today — a move that looks a plus. Yet to score but taken to go close.
-
0005-0No signal40/1 33/1 40/1Well beaten and giving little late at Gowran Park last time over a longer trip, Canon Law is effective at 7f on heavy ground and needs a drop in distance to show her best. Today's trip looks on the long side — hard to recommend without conditions more in her favour.
-
Tony Carroll 13%0-6421No signal2/1Cape Toronada landed a handicap by two lengths at Brighton last time off a mark six pounds lower, returning to form in the process; effective at six furlongs on good ground and from a yard with a strong record in this type, a repeat puts this firmly in the picture.
-
Zak Wheatley 10%Declan Carroll 11%406-23No signal11/4 2/1 9/4Caught in traffic at a key point when beaten a length off this very mark at Wetherby last time, Captain Cess is unexposed at 7f and has handled today's going — a clear run here could make all the difference for a horse who retains latent ability, yet to score.
-
520-26No signal5/1Has shown ability at 7-8f on a range of going, placing twice in recent form, but was beaten seven lengths at Carlisle last time and an improved showing is needed from draw 11.
-
Luke McAteer 8%805406No signal16/1 11/1 16/1Beaten 9¼ lengths at Cork last time and clearly best at shorter trips, Cause I Like You faces a stiff stamina test over today's longer distance and was well off the pace on that occasion. First-time headgear is the one positive angle, but the trip and recent form make it hard to be enthusiastic.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%433-U1No signal7/1 4/1 13/2Landing a handicap in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth last time by one and a half lengths off a mark four pounds lower, Chasing Gold carries the same headgear here; effective at five to six furlongs on a sound surface and if the blinkers continue to work, this is a live contender.
-
Phil McEntee 11%43-089No signalSP FCST 33/1Down the field in recent starts and well below form at Bath last time, Chiedozie is winless in five recent outings; wearing a tongue-tie and visor for the first time, effective at five to six furlongs on a sound surface, but poor recent figures make enthusiasm difficult to justify.
-
David Nolan 12%Iain Jardine 12%331324No signal9/1 9/2 9/1Landed a neck success at Hamilton earlier in recent starts and ran to form when fourth off a mark 1lb higher last time, Classy Clarets is consistent at 5-7f on a sound surface — the mark looks a shade stiff but first-time headgear could provide a sharpening effect.
-
John Fahy 12%Richard Hannon 12%9No signal40/1 FCST 28/1Well held on debut at Chepstow, trailing the principals by a distance, and requires a major step forward to feature here; lightly raced at least leaves some scope, but the evidence to date gives little to work with.
-
Sam James 14%Katie Scott 10%552640No signal33/1 22/1 33/1Came from a wide draw after a slow start at Carlisle most recently and never landed a blow; effective at 7-8f though all worthwhile form has come on the artificial surface, and first-time cheekpieces is a small angle in his favour.
-
600-4No signal8/1 7/1 8/1Fourth at Gowran Park last time, beaten eight lengths, Connova is effective at 6–9f and acts on today's going. The longer trip today is at the limit of her best form — she has placed before but needs more to trouble the leaders here.
-
W. J. Lee 16%W. McCreery 9%20-039No signal4/1 FCST 7/2Third at Roscommon on her penultimate start and with form at 8–10f, Coul Dreamer is an interesting entrant stepping back into a maiden from a handicap. The difficulty is that her latest run at Leopardstown was well below form, and she may be vulnerable to fresher or more progressive rivals.
-
2528-0No signal25/1 16/1 22/1Off form on her return at Fairyhouse last time, Coulstys Way has twice placed second in recent starts and is effective up to 14f. A bounce-back is required but there is ability in the locker — one to watch if she can recapture that placed form.
-
TBA46442-No signal7/1Beaten two lengths at Southwell last time off a 1lb lower mark, Covert Legend is effective at 9–11f and usually races from behind. After a 235-day absence, the return to a longer trip on turf is an interesting angle — returns to her last winning mark, though all her best form has come on AW.
-
Leigh Roche 6%M Flannery 3%8-0400No signal80/1 50/1 80/1Proven at 10f on good ground and fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time, Cuckaloo Hill was below form at Fairyhouse most recently and requires a bounce-back. Has shown enough on better days to place, but the recent trend makes it hard to be confident.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Brian Meehan 9%—No signal20/1 12/1 18/1A 72,000 euro Blackbeard colt with a dam useful over a mile, Cutlass has the breeding to show something on debut; however, from a yard where runners often need the experience first time out, patience may be required before he comes into his own.
- D
-
Finley Marsh 14%Nick Scholfield 14%28287-No signal11/1 8/1 9/1Absent for the best part of nine months and arrives equipped with a first-time hood; trainer is in good current form and D Day Major Winter has placed form over this trip on fast ground. Very difficult to assess off such a lengthy break, and inconsistency throughout the record adds to the question marks.
-
65-055No signal11/2 9/2 11/2Consistent if unable to find the front, Daboya ran on strongly late at Gowran Park last time, beaten seven lengths. Effective at 8–12f on the flat and fitted with first-time blinkers, she has a reliable profile and could perform well again — just needs a bit more to land one.
-
Colin Keane 16%G. M. Lyons 16%64-871BBoD Whisper 1 signal5/2 3/1 5/2Landing a handicap at Leopardstown last time by 2¼ lengths in a new headgear combination, Daler showed he is capable in his best form and is effective at 7–9f on a variety of going. Now wearing a tongue-tie and hood combination again, the 7lb rise in the weights is the key test — proven course and distance ability makes him a genuine danger.
-
William Carson 10%Tony Carroll 13%536583No signalSP 14/1 16/1Top course trainer connected and the stable has a strong record at Brighton; Daley T posted a quarter-length third here most recently, tried in cheekpieces. Inconsistent and yet to score in recent starts, though, and must improve on the figures to be a factor.
-
7-8000No signal22/1 16/1 22/1Consistently below form on his Irish starts since moving from France, Dark Summit's best efforts have come at 8f on the softer side of good — this trip looks beyond his comfort zone. Hard to make a case without a more encouraging recent run.
-
Shane Foley 11%0-0688No signal18/1 14/1 18/1Well beaten at Leopardstown last time and in the midst of a poor run of form, Dark Viper is effective at 6–8f on heavy and good. The first-time hood is new and a bounce-back is needed — the trip here may be on the long side given his best form has come over shorter.
-
0-4353No signal15/8 18/13 32/17Third at Chepstow last time, beaten two and a quarter lengths at this exact mark over the trip, makes Dash Of Class's form credentials clear; acts on good to firm and a first-time hood adds a further positive. The strongest profile in this race and the one to beat.
-
Sam Coen 11%8-7730No signal2/1Fitted with first-time blinkers and dropping back in trip from the 12f test that found him out at Limerick last time, Delusional showed better form prior and is effective at 8–11f on good and AW. Yet to score in recent starts, he is a danger if the headgear sharpens him on a more suitable distance.
-
080-78No signal7/1 FCST 13/2Connected with the top course jockey-trainer combination who have a strong record in this race, Denim And Diamonds is effective at 12–14f on good ground. She performed at her recent level in a high-class conditions race last time and remains winless in recent starts — the mark may need to ease further, but the positive conditions angle keeps her in the mix.
-
6480-0No signal9/1 15/2 17/2Well below form at The Curragh last time despite experience at today's trip and going, Deressa steps back up in distance with a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 10–12f with cut, the new headgear is a positive but the recent record makes it hard to be optimistic.
-
Luke Morris 12%211657No signal16/1 12/1 16/1First-time cheekpieces are applied and the course and distance are familiar, but Desdemona was tardy at the start last time and made no impression, beaten four lengths at Lingfield off a 2lb higher mark; our figures rank her last in the field. Needs considerably more.
-
Charles Bishop 10%George Baker 10%357305No signal16/1 8/1 16/1Wearing cheekpieces for the first time, Desert Cop was below form and failed to respond when beaten four and a quarter lengths here last time; winless in six recent starts and needs to bounce back — effective at five to six furlongs on a sound surface but the recent figures make it difficult to be confident.
-
Luke Morris 12%Hugo Palmer 13%3888-5No signal12/1 6/1 12/1First-time hood fitted but Diamond Aura has failed to produce anything convincing across recent starts, beaten ten lengths at Chepstow last time; last on our figures and needs to reverse a consistent run of poor efforts before being taken seriously.
-
Jack Nicholls(3) 12%K. R. Burke 20%585123WHTW Whisper 1 signal11/4 5/2 11/4Finished third beaten two and a quarter lengths off 74 last time despite being given too much to do, Diamont Katie landed a wide-margin success at Pontefract three starts back following a wind operation and remains competitive at 6-7f on today's ground — 1lb higher here but in the mix.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%Michael Wigham 13%574411No signal3/1 10/3 11/4Two consecutive wins, including a smooth success at Bath last time where the cheekpieces clearly galvanised the form; acts on all going types and has course-and-distance experience. Going for a hat-trick off a competitive mark, but the recent consistency makes the case hard to resist.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%044060No signal80/1 28/1 50/1Winless across six recent starts and well beaten at Windsor last time; Dora Vita acts on AW and may be better suited by stepping up to a mile, but neither condition applies today. Hard to make a case from the current form.
-
Dougie Costello 10%Tony Carroll 13%89-147No signal7/1 9/2 7/1Wearing cheekpieces for the first time, Dream Composer finished seventh last time off a mark a pound higher — running to a similar level — and is effective at five furlongs on any surface; has a win in recent form and capable of going well again if the headgear helps.
-
Luke Morris 12%0-4558No signalSP FCST 11/1Well beaten at Windsor last time and has struggled for form across five recent outings; Dream Of Ithaca handles 10f and sound surfaces could help, but all to prove before this one can be taken seriously.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%50-821No signal12/1 13/2 11/1Landing a classified race at Leicester by half a length last time and now wearing a tongue-tie and blinkers for the first time, Dreambird Dolly carries recent winning momentum into this; effective at five to six furlongs on a sound surface and though a step up in class, the recent form means this is a serious rival.
-
Gerard Kyne 4%—No signal66/1 40/1 66/1A James Garfield filly out of a dam moderate at 6f, Drowsy Maggie is a half-sister to How Far who was useful over shorter. The breeding suggests she may want further in time, but with no form to assess, she is not one to favour on debut.
-
Amie Waugh 6%98-750No signal22/1 16/1 20/1Keen and awkward at Redcar most recently, well beaten throughout; without a win in recent starts and ranked near the foot of the ratings, but acts on a range of going at 6-7f and the light weight is noted.
-
Kieren Fox 10%Craig Benton 11%0-70No signal33/1 25/1 33/1Winless in recent starts and has been disappointing across three outings — well down the field at Salisbury most recently — and needs a significant jump in form. The course and distance are not the issue, so the trainer will be hoping for a better showing.
-
Adam Caffrey 9%Noel Meade 11%-00009No signal12/1 11/1 10/1Regressive and well beaten at Fairyhouse most recently, Dutch Gold arrives without a win in recent starts despite being effective at 10–12f. First-time blinkers represent an attempt to spark improvement — the ability may still be there but the downward form trend is hard to ignore.
- E
-
W. McCreery 9%39-451No signal8/1 5/1 8/1Landing a handicap at Gowran Park last time by two lengths off a lower mark, Earthsong is effective at 12–14f on heavy and good and looks open to building on that form. Now on a higher mark, the question is whether she can maintain that progress — but the form is solid and she rates a genuine danger.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Brian Meehan 9%7332-7No signal9/4 10/3 32/17Beaten six lengths on handicap debut at Sandown over ten furlongs, Edwin Hubble ran to a fair level and the step up to twelve furlongs today looks a natural progression given his breeding and profile; effective at seven to ten furlongs and more should be unlocked at this longer trip.
-
Conor Whiteley 15%-83120No signal17/2 7/1 17/2A likeable sort who landed a success over 6f on the all-weather earlier this term and was usually consistent prior to that, Elashgar was out of sorts on turf at Nottingham last time — the question is whether he brings his all-weather form across to today's going.
-
Kieran Shoemark 14%—No signal16/1 12/1 16/1A 42,000 euro Galiway gelding wearing a tongue-tie on debut, Electric Gambler looks the type to need more time to come into his own; likely a run to gain experience from rather than a winning bid.
-
Ruth Carr 12%-54228No signal4/1 5/1 4/1A course-and-distance winner off a higher mark who had been running back into form until pulling hard and dropping away tamely at Beverley last time, Emerald Army is effective at 6-7f on today's going — a cold trainer at 4% and a wide draw are added concerns for a winless run.
-
3-90UNo signal18/1 FCST 16/1Came down at the start last time — an isolated incident rather than a true form line — Eternal Echo has shown genuine ability in a placing prior and is effective at 10f. Needs more to win but the excuse is credible.
- F
-

Jack Callan 14%4-5344No signal8/1 9/2 7/1Consistent performer who has finished in the frame across recent starts and acts on good to firm; back after 102 days away, which is the obvious question mark on return.

Billy Garritty 11%4-2466No signal14/1 12/1 14/1All worthwhile form has come on the artificial surface and ground conditions held her back when comfortably beaten at Carlisle last time on soft; the return to a sounder surface is a positive with first-time cheekpieces, but proving herself on turf remains the hurdle.
-
Chris Hayes 10%262-90No signal12/1 16/1 10/1Progressive over 10–12f and suited by give, Thatwilldoso has been off 50 days and needs to bounce back from a poor run at Cork. Twice runner-up in earlier form and on an easing mark, there is ability here — but more is needed to trouble the principals.
-
Ethan Tindall 10%4634-5No signal5/2 7/2 2/1Consistent without threatening over 6-7f, Thehunnebelllegacy was beaten only three lengths off a higher mark back here last time and is respected back down in trip — though our figures leave him a fair bit to find to take a hand.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Edward Bethell 17%6-4219No signal9/2 3/1 9/2Well beaten on a soft surface at Southwell most recently after pulling hard, but had been in good form prior to that; returning after a 143-day break in a first-time visor, and has won at 7-12f on decent ground, so a return to earlier form is possible but must be taken on trust.
-
7No signal14/1 9/1 14/1Well beaten on debut at Gowran Park over a mile but showing a degree of promise, Time Whisperer steps up in trip today — a move that looks a plus on breeding. Acts on today's going but needs a clear step forward to figure.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%-48123No signal11/10 10/11 EvsProgressive over staying trips, Treasure Islands landed a success off a lower mark earlier in recent starts and has run creditably in defeat since, finishing third off this very mark in a stronger race last time. Unexposed at staying distances and with a top record at this course, the opportunity looks well timed.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Ivan Furtado 10%9No signal22/1Trailed home ninth on her only start at Chester, well beaten from off the pace throughout and showing little; yet to score and appeal is limited at present, though the profile suggests there may be more to come with experience.
-
Jack Nicholls(3) 12%Micky Hammond 10%6467-0No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Pushed too prominently in front and beaten at Ripon last time, Twilight Safari is yet to score in either code and is better suited to ten furlongs — needs a significant step up to play a role here.

Connor Planas 11%Charlie Johnston 13%701543No signal11/4 FCST 9/4Third beaten three-quarters of a length off today's mark last time out, showing the form is live and the benchmark fair; acts at 8-9f on good to soft and good in first-time cheekpieces, and has a course-and-distance win in the book — clearly the one to beat.
-
839236No signal7/2 11/4 10/3Was below form when beaten over six lengths at Redcar last time, but had shown good form at 8-10f on any going in the runs before that; 35 days off the track and first-time cheekpieces are applied — if recapturing that earlier level she must be considered a major threat.

-
43-672No signal9/4 3/2 2/1Looked the likely winner at Thirsk last time before being worn down close home, beaten only three quarters of a length off a mark 1lb lower than today's, Valley Of Flowers is a consistent stayer on any going — enthusiasm questions remain but the ability to go very close is clearly there.
-
Rowan Scott 11%Charlie Johnston 13%3-1148No signal4/1 FCST 7/2Landed two wins in recent starts, including over course and distance, before a flat effort last time when pushed into the lead too soon, Velvet Rhythm is effective at 6-7f on a sound surface and returns at the same mark — that latest blot can be forgiven with a more patient ride.
-
Jason Hart 14%Charlie Johnston 13%336No signal9/1 5/1 9/1Has placed twice in three starts, including a couple of third-place finishes, and the ability is clearly there; first time in handicap company offers scope to improve, though keenness was a problem at Wetherby last time and she gave little extra under pressure.

Conor Whiteley 15%072173No signal10/3 4/1 5/2Back on song when third beaten only half a length off this exact mark last time, staying the longer trip well, War Memorial landed a neck success at Musselburgh three starts back and is generally in good form — effective at 7f and could handle the mile if the going suits.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%—No signal33/1 12/1 28/1By high-class sprinter Ardad and a half-sister to smart 5f performer Society Kiss, Warby fetched 62,000 guineas as a yearling and is trained by a top Catterick handler — betting moves on debut will be the tell.
-
Philip Kirby 8%900600No signal100/1 50/1 100/1Down the field at Hamilton only two days ago and with largely poor form in recent starts, Wath Court ranks last on our figures by some distance — the combination of tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time today is a final roll of the dice.
-
05-430No signal18/1 12/1 18/1Off the pace and well beaten at Gowran Park last time, Wedding Year is effective at 7–8f and acts on AW — this trip and headgear for the first time are new angles. The mark looks fair if she can bounce back, but consistency has been absent in recent starts.
-
Myla Coppins 17%Tony Carroll 13%-61226No signal8/1 15/2 8/1Racing over a trip at which she has previously been successful, Wedgewood was keen last time and below her best when beaten four lengths at Bath; effective at five furlongs on a variety of surfaces and had shown consistent form before that run, so a return to that level cannot be dismissed.
-
Amie Waugh 6%Jim Goldie 14%344216BBoD Whisper 1 signal11/8 2/1 6/5Took a handicap here two starts back and handles 5-6f on a range of going; was below form on a soft surface at Ayr most recently off today's same mark — better ground in first-time hood and with a top course trainer in her corner, a return to form is very much in play.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Edward Bethell 17%35-122WHTW Whisper 1 signal11/4 32/17 5/2Two consecutive runner-up finishes in handicaps, including beaten two lengths off a mark just 1lb lower than today, point to a horse in good order; acts at 6-8f on good, good to firm and the artificial surface, and though the trainer's recent strike rate is modest and first-time cheekpieces are a new factor, the form profile marks this as the one to beat.
-
Cam Hardie 6%Ben Haslam 14%51-033No signal5/2 3/1 5/2Placed at Carlisle and Ripon in recent starts and effective at 5f on any going, Wen Moon ran to form when beaten two lengths off this exact mark at Ripon last time and looks set to run her race again from the same weight.
-
Shane Foley 11%0577No signal14/1 9/1 14/1Seventh at Dundalk last time over a mile, beaten seven lengths, Western Bandit is effective up to 11f and acts on yielding ground — the step up in trip today looks the right direction. A fourth-place penultimate run offered more, but consistency has been elusive in first-time headgear.
-
Nicola Burns 7%Aidan Melia 14%/3/4/0No signal25/1 18/1 22/1Slow to find stride on his return to the flat at Navan last time after a two-month break, Wolf Prince has shown better form prior — third on the penultimate outing — and the step back up in distance today is a plus. Hard to be confident, but earlier form suggests he is capable of better.
-
/3224-No signal5/1 4/1 5/1Twice runner-up and once third in her recent flat starts, Wonderfulwonderful is proven at 7–11f on a sound surface and is respected returning to the flat after hurdles. First-time cheekpieces are a variable, and the question is whether she can recapture that placed form after fading out late last time over hurdles.
-
Barry McHugh 9%Ron Barr 15%187497No signal16/1 18/1 16/1First-time hood on today and back on a winning mark, Woodhay Whisper probably needed the run at Thirsk last time when beaten four and a half lengths — but recent efforts have been poor and a sharper performance is required to get back in contention.

Paul Mulrennan 14%Jim Goldie 14%6-9975No signal4/1 7/2 10/3Came home well to be beaten four lengths here last time, suggesting the course and distance are well within his compass; usually held up and the jockey-trainer combination is potent at this venue, though he has been winless in recent starts and needs to settle.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%J. S. Moore 7%—No signal100/1 50/1 80/1A Land Force filly and a half-sister to a useful seven-furlong performer with a dam useful over six furlongs, Yankeedoodledandy has some pedigree interest; with the trainer out of form and debut runners from this yard often needing the run, this looks an unlikely winner first time out.
-
Clifford Lee 17%Grant Tuer 13%24-493No signal5/1Ran close to her best at Musselburgh last time — where she finished only a length and a half behind the leaders off a mark just 1lb lower — Yorkshire Queen is lightly exposed at 7f and capable of further progress; inconsistent this term but that latest effort confirmed she retains ability, yet to score.
-
3206No signal16/1 17/2 16/1Has placed at 5f on a sound surface but has been below form in the last two outings, held in rear at Catterick most recently; winless in recent starts and needs to show considerably more.

Ethan Tindall 10%321798No signal8/1 7/1 8/1Keen early and dropping away when beaten more than eight lengths at Carlisle last time, Ziggy's Queen is better than that effort suggests and is effective at 6f on most going — the mark looks a shade high until she proves she can keep the lid on her enthusiasm.
-
6603No signal10/3 9/4 10/3Third on handicap debut at Gowran Park last time out, Zitkala Sa is effective at today's trip on yielding ground and wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Top-rated here and open to improvement from that encouraging debut run, the one reservation is that she remains without a win in recent starts.
-
Mark Loughnane 10%085692No signal10/1 14/1 10/1Close up at Brighton last time, beaten three lengths off a 1lb lower mark, and the course and going are familiar; first-time hood fitted and acts over 7f on fast ground. Drawn in stall 12 and yet to score in recent starts — those are the main obstacles.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Michael Dods 12%00-820No signal4/1 9/2 4/1Finished runner-up at Redcar in good style on the penultimate start, showing he handles 5f on a sound surface; dropped to a workable mark and first-time visor is applied, but a step up in effort is needed after below form at Thirsk last time.
No horse matches that.
