The day's horses
- A
-
Ryan Moore 24%Ian Williams 11%078-90No signal7/4 5/2 31/19Has excuses for his York run, beaten 7¼l but not himself that day, and now 3lb below his last winning mark; Aalto usually comes from off the pace and handles today's trip and surface well, and a level-headed trainer booking in Ryan Moore points to confidence — inconsistency is the caveat, but the ratings put him marginally ahead from stall 1.
-
Stevie Donohoe 12%Ian Williams 11%9-5066No signal50/1 40/1 50/1Consistently held in recent outings and without a credible performance in UK company, Abila has experience of today's distance and going; she seemed suited by longer trips in France, but was comfortably beaten last time here and the figures offer little encouragement.
-
L J Morgan 12%-65803No signal20/1 14/1 20/1Third here over a mile last time, a step back in the right direction off a mark 1lb lower than today's, Abu Royal has claims if building on that; effective at 8-12f with cut and on AW with first-time headgear fitted, not without claims if continuing to progress, yet to score in recent starts.
-
William Buick 25%1-3No signal7/2 FCST 10/3Took a maiden at Chelmsford on debut and then shaped with promise upped sharply in trip at Goodwood, keeping on into third; Afraj handles 7f to 1m and acts on good-to-soft and AW, with the drop back in distance likely to help if she settles — a jockey with a fine record at this course and a trainer firing at 29% in the past fortnight make her the one to side with from stall 4.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Iain Jardine 12%—No signal33/1 18/1 33/1By a sire of the highest middle-distance quality out of an accomplished staying mare Shamanova, with a half-brother who was useful at a much shorter trip; a modest breeze-up price suggests modest expectations on debut, and watching how the market moves before drawing conclusions is the sensible approach.
-
Oliver Stammers 12%Grant Tuer 13%432516No signal11/2 8/1 4/1Landed a race at Thirsk by a short-head off a mark 3lb lower, and ran to form up in class last time when sixth beaten 3l, back on the same rating here; effective at 5f on any surface though best with cut, and still competitively weighted.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Kevin Ryan 12%500-05No signal14/1 FCST 12/1Without a win from his last five outings including a return from Australia, Al Mubhir was again well beaten at Hamilton last time — a performance that raises real questions about his current level; effective at 8-10f on any surface, he needs to show he retains his form to feature here.
-
Alan King 16%860-No signalSP
-
Jim Goldie 14%4448-7No signal11/4 11/2 11/4A top course handler provides the key appeal here, and the yard has a strong record in this race; off the track since last autumn following a disappointing effort at Southwell where the trip was too sharp, so first-time cheekpieces and a return to a longer distance are both positive factors — the substantial lay-off remains the obvious query.
-
Tom Marquand 16%Charles Hills 15%3000-0No signal7/1 8/1 13/2Usually settled toward the rear, Ancient Rome was going nowhere from off the pace at Newbury last time, beaten six and a half lengths; lightly raced at this distance and effective at 8-10f, but form has dropped away since last summer and confidence is not high.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Ralph Beckett 19%221-WHTW Whisper 1 signal5/2 7/4 9/4Given a clear run to the front at Lingfield last time, the gelding settled matters smoothly to take a novice by 1¼l and looks to have come on for that; Angel Gabriel handles 6f well and the profile looks solid for a handicap debut — 192 days away is the one query from stall 1, but connections' confidence makes him hard to overlook.
-
Donald McCain 15%/740-6No signal28/1 14/1 25/1Has tumbled a long way down the weights over both codes and the drop in class gives him a chance if sharper for his Flat return at Doncaster last time, where he was beaten 7.5l having clearly needed it; wants further than today's trip but the conditions are broadly fine, and first-time hood could help.
-
Jim Goldie 14%386241No signalevn 8/11 EvsBack in the winner's enclosure at this course last time, landing a handicap by three-quarters of a length off a mark 4lb lower; carrying a penalty today but has won off higher ratings in the past, and this stiff track on quick ground suits him well — the trainer is among the best at this venue and remains on a workable mark.
-
27339UNo signal28/1 16/1 25/1Lost his rider in a handicap at Ripon last time, never comfortable on the track; all-weather and good-to-soft ground suit, and there is placed form to his credit over this sort of trip — but first-time cheekpieces and tongue-tie, poor recent showings, and a clear need for a revival make him speculative at best.
-
Edward Greatrex 14%Ralph Beckett 19%3No signal10/11 FCST 5/6Third on debut at Salisbury, Aphra Behn shaped with promise and now steps up to 7f where further improvement is expected; effective at 6f on soft and looks the one to beat if she takes this further forward.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Oliver Cole 11%362-25No signal9/4 11/2 7/4Placed consistently on good-to-soft and AW before a below-par run back on soft turf at Salisbury last time; Areti is without a win in recent starts but drier conditions today are more in her favour, and first-time tongue-tie and headgear could unlock improvement — that said, more is needed from stall 6 to trouble the principals.
-
Mark Loughnane 10%-76078No signalSP FCST 18/1Has experience of today's trip and conditions and first-time headgear could help, but Arnaz has been keen and below form in recent races; difficult to make a case on those grounds despite being rated at a fair mark over this distance.
-
William Pyle 9%—No signal50/1 33/1 50/1Unraced debutant by Showcasing, a £5,000 breeze-up purchase whose dam was smart at 7f as a juvenile and is a half-brother to Perfect Spring, a fair 6f performer; the trainer is in good form. Lowest-rated in the field on our figures and hard to assess without a run.
-
Oisin Orr 14%John Butler 13%6No signal25/1 20/1 25/1Only one start behind him — a sixth at York on debut — Athos has the scope to progress significantly over this 7f trip; showed modest pace on that occasion but connections expect a step forward now tackling a longer distance, making this a dangerous runner to dismiss.
-
Oisin McSweeney 10%Roger Fell 12%64No signal12/1 10/1 11/1Fourth at Wetherby last time — improved on debut — Aura Of Melania was keen but made progress and handles 7f; still needs more but there is promise here, and if continuing to improve this filly is the main danger to our selection.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Charlie Johnston 13%33-4No signal8/1 5/1 8/1Went too hard in front and emptied over this course and distance most recently after a long break, beaten 18l; should come on considerably for that effort and is likely to be better measured by earlier form — the yard has been successful in this race before and connections expect further progress now in handicap company.
- B
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%324-43No signal15/8 9/4 7/4Consistent and very reliable, Back In Black ran to form at Lingfield last time off this same mark and now gets a first-time tongue-tie; effective at 7-8f on good to soft and sound ground, yet to score in recent starts but the profile makes this a strong candidate.
-
304666No signal11/1 11/1 9/1Returning after a 90-day break, Bajan Bandit ran well below form on his most recent start — that effort came over an extended trip and the mark has been easing since. Suited to 7-8f on the all-weather, this is his first start since that disappointing run and on his earlier turf form he can't be dismissed; the question is fitness having been off for three months.
-
785382No signal3/1 3/1 11/4Showed a return to form when going down by just 2l at Nottingham last time off this same mark, and Bang On The Bell handles all conditions including today's going over this trip; first-time blinkers from draw 1 can help. The worry is a sequence without a win in recent starts.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Ruth Carr 12%-37662No signal7/2 4/1 7/2Finished powerfully to get within half a length of the winner here last time off a 1lb lower mark, Barleybrown has a strong course record at this track; effective at 8f on good and AW with a wide draw, yet to score recently, but has a genuine chance if producing the same type of effort.
-
468No signalSP 28/1 6/1A middle-distance pedigree and the prospect of improving in handicaps are the main selling points for Baron Wagstaff, but keen tendencies have cost him and his form has been poor; 71 days off the track and below-par recent performances make him hard to recommend.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%William Knight 14%78-271No signal4/1 2/1 4/1Finished with power at Wolverhampton last time to win a handicap by two lengths off a mark 6lb lower — the best handicap run to date — and acts well at 7f on AW; the 6lb rise is stiff but there is likely further improvement to come and our rating puts Based at the head of the weights.
-
William Pyle 9%34-905No signal12/1 18/1 12/1Moving in the right direction when beaten 3¼l at Nottingham last time off a slightly higher mark, Bass Player is suited to 7-8f on today's ground and first-time cheekpieces could help; winless in recent outings and our figures suggest he needs more to be competitive.
-
Clifford Lee 17%James Tate 19%421No signal7/1 11/1 11/2Winning form at this trip and on this ground stands up, and a 2l success at Ripon last time out was straightforward enough; the step up in grade is the question now for Beauty Box, and she will need to build on that to feature from stall 2.
-
—No signal50/1 28/1 50/1Debut runner on a tough assignment; an Alkumait gelding related to a useful performer at 9f, Bedwyr merits attention in the market on debut but the pedigree angles are mixed and he is hard to assess.
-
John Butler 13%—No signal20/1 14/1 20/1A Cotai Glory colt whose dam showed real ability at 6f as a juvenile, Beechwood Glory has a demanding introduction on debut and a yard not renowned for having runners ready first time — born in February, and youngsters with that profile often need the run. Worth monitoring but hard to fancy without a prep.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%6-2176No signal5/1 FCST 9/2Took a one-and-a-quarter-length success at Redcar three starts back and was poorly positioned in a race run at a strong pace from the front last time — that sixth is best set aside. First-time blinkers added today and effective at 5f on fast and soft ground, Beerwah is our top-rated runner; form has been patchy of late and the rating looks demanding, but the equipment change could sharpen the picture.
-
Alex Jary(3) 9%Nigel Tinkler 11%641-06No signal40/1 25/1 40/1Sixth at Windsor last time, beaten five lengths, Bella Delizia has been below form but is effective at 5f on a sound surface and remains 4lb above the last winning mark; trainer is struggling for form and needs this runner to produce a significant step up in performance.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Charlie Johnston 13%287No signal10/1 9/1 17/2Showed promise when runner-up on debut but has not built on it in two subsequent starts, being well beaten at Thirsk most recently when short of room to manoeuvre; effective at 5f on good to soft ground and entitled to do better, though consistency remains unproven.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%78No signal13/2 12/1 6/1Showed inexperience at Salisbury last time, hampered by the track and beaten eight lengths — still lightly raced and looks like she has further to develop. Effective over 6f on good to soft and possibly capable of staying a little further; the trainer is struggling for form at present, which adds a note of caution to an already tentative profile.
-
Luke Morris 12%738626No signalSP 18/1 28/1Capable of better and effective at 7-8f on a sound surface, Berning Hot has been inconsistent and was well below form beaten 9l at Beverley last time; showing more than that is the task here.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Julie Camacho 11%3-0450No signal4/1 5/1 10/3Hard to fancy off a poor recent sequence, Bibendum has failed to make the frame in latest outings and finished well beaten at Doncaster last time; the first-time visor and experience of today's conditions offer slim reasons for optimism but our figures put her well held.
-
Harry Vigors 12%Charles Hills 15%441-85No signal4/1 13/2 10/3Beaten seven lengths at Bath last time but in better form prior, Bird Of War has a win in recent starts and handles various surfaces; effective at 1m on good to soft, good and AW — there is a case here if she recaptures the level of those better efforts this season.
-
Ollie Pears 12%—No signal11/1 5/1 11/1An Arizona filly related to a smart 5f performer and out of a dam useful at 6f, Black Fury makes her debut here; a tough enough first assignment and others are preferred, yet to score and debut form is unknown.
-
Harry Vigors 12%Archie Watson 15%241-77No signal20/1 14/1 18/1Twice below form in recent starts here at Newcastle, beaten eight lengths last time; first-time blinkers on today and effective at 5-6f on good and AW, but the back-to-back poor efforts are a concern and a significant response is required.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Phillip Makin 12%86264No signal3/1 5/2 11/4Fourth at Carlisle last time in first-time blinkers, Bluestone Lady failed to get into contention from off the pace despite finishing on; best at 5-6f and a step up to 7f tests stamina — trainer is in form and the headgear stays on — the profile makes this the most interesting runner here and the one to beat.
-
Oisin McSweeney 10%Tim Easterby 11%8No signal50/1 33/1 40/1Ran keen and finished well beaten on debut at Beverley, Bollin Marsha needs a major improvement to feature; yet to score and the debut effort gives little confidence.
-
Ben Robinson 10%Brian Ellison 10%5No signal16/1 11/1 16/1Showed something on debut at Chester when beaten just over three lengths in a seller, Bonjour Belle handles 7f on soft; has a trainer who has had some success in this type of event and the potential for improvement means she could make the frame if she takes a step forward.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Edward Bethell 17%542211No signalSP FCST 3/2Landed a handicap at Wetherby off a mark 10lb lower just ten days ago, showing he is in excellent form, and Bradbury stays 10f on good ground effectively; things are harder now off a higher weight but he has more to offer. First-time eye-covers could be a wildcard.
-
Oisin McSweeney 10%Bryan Smart 12%1-5927No signal10/1 8/1 10/1Stayed off the pace at Thirsk last time and was beaten seven lengths without ever threatening; effective at 5-6f on various surfaces, but needs to find extra to get competitive and a significant step forward is required.
-
Jonny Peate 9%Ivan Furtado 10%—No signal12/1 14/1 12/1A Pinatubo gelding by a dam smart at 8f, Brazilian Blitz is a half-brother to a useful 12f performer; a tough enough opening on debut for the yard, which is not in peak form at present, and it is hard to form a strong view, though the pedigree mix is intriguing.
-
Olivia Haines 15%Stuart Williams 13%-55877SSteamer Whisper 1 signal18/1 25/1 16/1Plodding in recent outings with three consecutive placed finishes below seventh, and yet to win in recent starts; Bridget's View handles this trip and ground but has been winless and her mark keeps easing — there is ability there over 7f to 8f on good-to-soft, but more is needed from stall 6 before she can be seriously fancied.
- C
-
Robert Havlin 15%Tom Tate 9%144-37No signal7/2 10/3 7/2Seventh last time, Cable Beach had been running well in the lead-up to that race with a win five starts back; effective at 7f and stays the mile, acts on AW and did best work from the rear last time, though hard to recommend from this mark.
-
Oisin Orr 14%John Butler 13%43No signal3/1 2/1 11/4Two starts in, Caeruleus has run to a consistent level including third at Carlisle last time; effective at 6f on soft and AW and has the ability to go close, though still has the deficit to close on the selection and needs to improve to take the win.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%Hugo Palmer 13%3No signal13/2 6/1 5/1Debut third beaten 2½l at Nottingham showed there is ability there, and this trip on a sound surface suits; yet to win and the sharp grade rise makes Californian Angel tough to fancy from stall 7, though the form base gives her a platform to improve.
-
Ryan Kavanagh(3) 11%Ian Williams 11%342356No signal11/1 6/1 11/1Placed consistently earlier in his recent form but below those efforts at this course last time, Call Glory is effective at 5-7f and acts on today's going; he needs to show more than recent starts to be a factor.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Tim Easterby 11%4323No signal11/8 31/19 5/4Consistent and progressive, placing in four of her last four starts; finished a length third at Carlisle most recently when fading in the closing stages over an extra furlong, and this shorter trip on a stiff track should play to her strengths — the main worry is whether she can convert her placed efforts into a first success.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Charlie Johnston 13%515No signal18/1 25/1 18/1Came up short when dropped back in trip at Beverley last time, finding the shorter trip too sharp when beaten 5l, but returns to 6f today which is her best distance on good ground; The Can Can Queen has won at this level and is capable of running well, though in-and-out form from stall 4 means she cannot be relied upon.
-
3126-2No signalSP FCST 11/4Close up when runner-up here last time off today's mark, Captain Cairney produced a solid effort at this course and handles 8-10f on soft and artificial ground; first-time cheekpieces and a positive recent run give him a solid each-way profile. Acts on today's going is one uncertainty given soft and AW tend to be his best surfaces.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Alan Brown 9%—No signal40/1 FCST 33/1A Zoustar filly purchased at the breeze-ups for £10,000, out of a mare who was a smart performer at 5f and thrived with cut in the ground; the dam's profile hints at a sprinting profile but the figures suggest she is up against it on debut.
-
Harry Davies 13%—BBoD Whisper 1 signal13/2 10/1 6/1A Blackbeard colt — by a high-class sprinting sire out of a well-regarded middle-distance mare — Chan Noir fetched 32,000 guineas as a yearling and is a half-brother to Samurai Mike, who showed smart ability at 6f. With a pedigree that suggests 6f is likely to suit, the betting will be the guide on debut; hard to assess without a run.
-
George Downing 10%0-3655No signal11/4 7/2 9/4Beaten off this mark at Windsor in recent outings and a return to form is needed; Change Sings does enjoy making the running, which at least gives her something to aim for, and she handles 5f to 7f on a range of going — from stall 8 she can press on, but winless in recent starts means she requires a big step up.
-
Jake Dickson(3) 12%Tim Easterby 11%55223No signal10/3 FCST 11/4Consistent in her first five appearances with three placed efforts, Cheeky Chesca was six lengths third at Hamilton most recently — she stays 6f and the quicker surface here plays to her strengths. The worry is that she has been knocking on the door without getting through; good enough to take a maiden on what she has shown, but the five-race blank is becoming a concern.
-
Luke Morris 12%Archie Watson 15%5No signal13/2 7/2 6/1Disappointed on debut, beaten 10l in a novice despite market support, and improvement likely on that bare form; effective at 5f. Trainer out of form at present is the concern.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Richard Hannon 12%1-0934No signal33/1 16/1 28/1Finished his races off well from off the pace, Christian David did his best work late when fourth at Lingfield most recently; first-time blinkers fitted, effective at 7-8f on any surface and back on his last winning mark, which gives reason to think an improved showing is possible.
-
Liam Wright 14%Charlie Clover 21%-46541No signal4/1 3/1 10/3Landed a handicap here last time off a mark 4lb lower, overcoming a slow start to assert with something to spare, and Clipsham Noble stays a broad range from 8 to 12f on a variety of surfaces; a trainer in good form adds confidence. Up 4lb now so the task is slightly tougher, and he usually needs to come from behind.
-
Jason Hart 14%Charlie Johnston 13%3/01-0No signal11/1 16/1 10/1Unplaced on handicap debut at York when failing to stay the trip, beaten eight and a half lengths, Cloth Of Gold's stamina over this 10f looks a question; there is a case to make back on AW, where connections believe this could go better, but a significant step forward is still needed.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%Charlie Johnston 13%17-139No signal18/1 11/1 14/1Ninth last time, beaten eleven lengths, Clouds Hill ran below form off a mark 1lb higher than today's and needs to bounce back; trainer is in good form, effective at 8-10f on a sound surface, and two wins in last five starts suggest capability — but the most recent effort is a concern.
-
6368-8No signalSP FCST 13/2Winless in recent starts but The Coffee Pod tops the field on our figures, rated 76, and drops back to the 5f trip that suits best with any ground workable. First-time hood could help the settling issues that hampered her over longer last time; the 73-day gap is the main query.
-
David Egan 14%Dylan Cunha 13%5-4633No signal15/2 11/2 15/2Placed at Wetherby in her last outing beaten only ¾l off a 1lb higher mark, and handles this trip on a sound surface; Come On Eibhlin is versatile from 5f to 8f and acts on reasonable ground — she is winless in recent starts but the form shows she goes close, and from stall 5 she is capable of running another sound race, though stronger rivals set the bar higher.
-
William Cox 5%778965No signal17/2 5/1 17/2Finishing her last six starts between fifth and ninth, Comedian Leader has been held in recent outings — though she ran to form beaten two lengths at Lingfield last time at a 1lb higher mark. Races from off the pace, effective 6-8f on good ground and on a dropping mark after a short break; needs a sharp turn in fortunes to get involved here and is hard to fancy.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Tom Tate 9%141598No signal10/1 11/1 9/1Well beaten at Nottingham last time, Contorno returns to the AW surface which has suited in the past; stays a stiff 5f and acts on this type of track, but the deteriorating recent form is the clear barrier to a competitive showing.
-
Peter Winks 9%0-0548No signal33/1 FCST 28/1The return to a longer trip should help Coverbridge, who was below her best at a shorter trip last time; effective from 7 to 12f on a range of surfaces. Without a win in recent form and lowest-ranked on our figures, she needs everything to fall right.
-
Kyle McHugh 7%3No signal10/3 9/4 10/3Caught a bit flat-footed early on debut at Windsor but picked up well in the closing stages to finish third, beaten three and a half lengths — the experience looks to have been instructive and a step up in trip should bring more. Effective at 5f and expected to stay further; yet to win but the debut read was encouraging.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Ralph Beckett 19%353-12BBoD Whisper 1 signal3/1 10/3 5/2Narrow runner-up off a mark of 75 last time shows she is right in the mix at this level; Crystal Pier is effective from 7f to 9f on a sound surface and is able to compete at this level — the 4lb rise from that run is the only concern from stall 2, and she has the profile to be very competitive.
-
Robert Havlin 15%34No signal8/15 8/13 7/16Fourth at York last time, improved from debut, Cuban Heels handles 6f on good and holds strong claims; yet to score but the progression from run to run has been clear, and this looks a good opportunity for the well-regarded runner.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%Tom Clover 17%236-84No signal4/1Generally consistent and handles today's trip, Cuban Lady was fourth at Bath last time — running around freely early but building on her reappearance run. First-time cheekpieces could help settle matters, though without a win in recent starts and our figures ranking her fifth of six, she looks to need everything to fall right.
- D
-
Jason Hart 14%Charlie Johnston 13%65No signal9/2 5/1 4/1Held to a similar level on second start as first when beaten comfortably at Hamilton last time, Dakota Brave is bred for a bit further than today and has all to prove; yet to score and needs to step forward significantly, though there could be more to come.
-
Tom Queally 10%Adam Kirby 12%-57130No signal10/1 17/2 10/1Finished well beaten in eleventh on his most recent start off today's mark and needs a sharp revival after a poor run; Dancing With Drums has form over this distance but acts on good to soft and AW, and today's faster ground is an added query.
-
John Egan 9%Michael Wigham 13%58-878No signal20/1 20/1 18/1Blocked for room late at Newmarket last time and likely left with more to offer than the margin shows, beaten 3½l off this mark; Dark Tornado acts on a sound surface at this trip but has been well held in recent starts, and the visor goes on for the first time — the in-form trainer is a mild positive, yet he remains hard to trust from stall 9.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%0-7600No signalSP FCST 14/1Trailed in rear when well held off the pace at York last time, beaten 6l in a handicap; Darkness wears the visor for the first time today and clearly handles today's trip and conditions, but has been beaten out of sight in recent runs and needs more than headgear to turn it around from stall 5.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%William Haggas 23%518No signal7/2 4/1 7/2Won two runs back and has experience of this trip and going, with the surface suiting; below form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Sandown last time, but effective at a mile on a sound surface and a return to form looks likely — Darzah tops our ratings and the form points her out as the one to beat, with stall 3 a fine draw.
-
—No signalSP FCST 25/1
-
Ryan Sexton 12%Julie Camacho 11%-17300No signal40/1 18/1 28/1The last outing at York raised fitness concerns with the field, suggesting all is not right; effective over 8f and well suited to AW, but a return to form is needed and the trainer is currently without a winner, making this a difficult proposition for the yard.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%525618No signal11/2 10/1 11/2Landed a race at this track off a mark 2lb lower two starts ago but raced without restraint last time, beaten 6l off a rating above today's; the first-time visor is fitted to address that — effective at 5f and 6f on a variety of surfaces and top course trainer is a plus, but inconsistency limits confidence.
-
Finley Marsh 14%533694No signal11/1 7/1 11/1Failed to land a blow at Ripon last time, beaten four and a half lengths without threatening — needs to reverse that trend to make an impact here. Effective at 5f on soft and good to firm, Doralee has a drop in weight over some rivals and has shown third-place consistency earlier in the season; hard to fancy with confidence until she reproduces that earlier form.
-
Jonny Peate 9%Oli Rix 10%321245No signal9/2 6/1 4/1Went well in transit before weakening at Ascot last time to finish fifth; effective at 7-9f on a sound surface and had shown solid form prior to that defeat, so is not without claims returning from a short break, but needs to prove the finishing speed holds up here.
-
976No signalSP FCST 14/1Drum Major has shown a hint of progress back at 5f in first-time cheekpieces last time after a run of disappointing efforts over further, and sprint breeding points to the trip; the race is not strong. Still well held on form, though, and needs more to be competitive here.
-

Yet to win in recent starts and clearly exposed, but reliable enough to be in the mix for a placing.

Jason Hart 14%741213BBoD Whisper 1 signal5/1 13/2 4/1Third last time off this same mark, The Tunguska Event has two wins in his last six starts and acts well at 5-6f on good to soft, good and AW; a first-time visor added and still looks competitive at this level, with our figures giving this the edge.

Pat Cosgrave 11%Ed de Giles 10%17-414No signal13/8 3/2 31/19Two Plus Two has a pair of wins in its last five starts, including a one-and-a-half-length success at Bath, and ran to a similar level with every chance when fourth last time from the same mark — same mark again today. Wears first-time blinkers and takes the lead from the front, effective over 10-14f on a sound surface; the mark may be stretching the limits, but this is a weak field.

Jim Goldie 14%2-8815No signal8/1 5/1 15/2Landed a race here off a mark 3lb lower on his penultimate start, and last time was fifth beaten 5.25l off today's mark having gone too fast in front early; unexposed over staying distances and the step back in trip could be neutralised by a more patient ride — top course trainer and a yard with a strong record in this race.

David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%28-566No signal10/1 10/1 17/2Sixth at York last time in below-par form, beaten seven lengths, Under The Radar is without a win in recent starts; effective at 5f on good and the connections have had success in this type of race before, but improvement from the last run is needed to feature.

Jason Hart 14%—No signal16/1 10/1 16/1A half-brother to Golden Force who was very useful at 7-8f, and out of a dam who was smart at 6f as a two-year-old, Up The Stakes is a well-purchased Nando Parrado gelding making his debut; others look stronger on known form but the pedigree is solid and market moves should be noted.

Kevin Stott 15%Kevin Ryan 12%23-6No signal3/1 FCST 5/2A well-regarded type whose juvenile form has been given a solid stamp of quality; blinkers fitted for the first time off a short break here, having been held on a return run that likely came too soon — effective at 1m with the scope to be better still over further, and the solid surface will suit. Top-rated and the one to beat.

Cieren Fallon 18%William Haggas 23%—BBoD Whisper 1 signal10/3A daughter of Pinatubo whose dam was useful at 7f, and her half-sister to Brewing brings smart 7f form into the pedigree; Vanilla Skies is blinkered on debut for a well-regarded yard and warrants serious consideration if the market takes an interest — unraced, so entirely on trust from stall 7.
-
23No signal4/5 2/3 8/11Third on her latest start at Kempton, Velvet Vega flattened out late over an extended trip but her debut form has been well advertised at Group level since — this ought to be a more suitable test back at a sharper distance. Trainer firing at 28% and our top-rated runner here; the concern is she has yet to get her head in front.
-
William Carson 10%79-4No signalSP 15/2 7/1Returning from a 132-day break and likely to need it, Venturing showed some ability in a maiden when fourth at Dundalk, having been supported in the market; effective at 1m on artificial ground and heavy going, which raises questions about today's fast surface.
-
Tony Carroll 13%231025No signal7/2 7/2 3/1Landed a four-and-a-quarter-length success at Bath in April off an 8lb lower mark and has been running consistently since, including a staying-on second before her most recent outing — she was ridden patiently and left with too much to do over an inadequate trip last time and a return to a mile here looks ideal. Effective over 8f on a sound surface, Volendam is our top-rated runner and represents a strong each-way proposition back at her best distance.

Joe Leavy 11%Iain Jardine 12%531-44No signal25/1 18/1 20/1Fourth at Newbury last time, Wanderlust stays the trip and acts on various surfaces; our figures suggest there is more in this runner — the last start showed creditable form against British handicap company — though needs to step forward to challenge for the win here.

Oisin Murphy 22%Hugo Palmer 13%3No signal7/2 9/4 3/1Third beaten 1¼l on debut at Salisbury and handles this course and going; Weekend Roar hinted at genuine ability on debut, is proven at this trip, and Oisin Murphy takes the ride — yet to win but the debut form is solid and improvement looks likely, with the main query being whether the step up in class catches him out from stall 4.
-
David Egan 14%3220No signal11/2 11/4 11/2Listed-placed form in Ireland set a high standard before a tough Group 3 on stable debut left her beaten; in good shape beforehand and acts on soft as well as today's ground, What A Girl Wants is a filly of real quality whose best efforts demand respect — just needs to recapture that earlier level from stall 6.
-
Keiran Burke 13%-51120No signal16/1Pulled on the chestnut's two wins in recent starts but came from off the pace and was never in contention last time at Sandown; first-time visor fitted, best at 8-12f and handles AW, so it's not impossible he turns it around but a response is required.
-
Callum Rodriguez 20%042519No signal12/1 14/1 9/1Trailed home at York on latest start and his trainer's string is badly out of form; carries first-time headgear and is effective at 10-12f on a sound surface, but the mark looks on the high side and a return to form is needed to be competitive.

Cian Horgan 5%Ruth Carr 12%38-056No signal17/2 10/1 17/2Ran keen and was unable to land a blow at Musselburgh last time, beaten seven and a half lengths; returns to AW where the trainer has had success, effective at 6-7f on a sound surface, and held up as usual — but needs a sharper performance to feature, without a win in recent starts.

Cian Horgan 5%Roger Fell 12%055211No signal9/2 7/2 9/2Back-to-back wins has Woodleigh in excellent order, completing a hat-trick here if he can transfer that turf form to the AW; effective at 8-10f on any surface, carrying a penalty, he looks the one to beat and will need to be at his best but the momentum is firmly in his favour.

Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%-01492No signal5/1 4/1 5/1Travelled strongly in blinkers at Musselburgh to land a race off a mark 4lb lower, and came up short last time in a race where she had too much ground to make up after being blocked, going down by a neck off a rating 1lb below today's — well suited by this trip and conditions, with the wide stall 9 the one mild negative.

Ryan Sexton 12%Julie Camacho 11%21-044No signal12/1 10/1 12/1Fourth at York last time after failing to find top gear, Yellow Diamonds has won over 5f and acts well on this surface with cut; the chance is there if she improves on that run and this runner is a clear danger to our selection.

Ashley Lewis 14%Jack Jones 12%4-2534No signal3/1 11/2 9/4A genuine, free-moving stayer who goes well at this distance on a sound surface, Zooter finished a fair third two starts back before finding soft ground against him at Ffos Las most recently; back on faster ground here, the form and the mark both look right. Yet to win in recent starts is the straightforward note of caution.
No horse matches that.
