Jack Doughty 13%David Flood 11%-07033No signal15/8 31/19 7/4Third at Ffos Las just four days ago, doing herself credit to stay 10f on good ground; two placed efforts in recent starts make her straightforward to respect, though today's quick turnaround is worth noting.
-
Harry Vigors 12%Stuart Williams 13%6-9308No signal16/1 10/1 16/1Beaten over seven lengths last time, though the ground conditions there may not have been ideal for her — more at home on the all-weather over a shorter trip. First-time cheekpieces today could help, but several below-par efforts mean a clear turnaround is needed; hard to recommend on our figures.
-
Jack Doughty 13%Tony Carroll 13%4696-8No signal2/1 5/2 2/1Beaten 6 1/4l at Southwell most recently and not at his best that day, he returns from a lengthy break of over five months; while 5f is a shade shorter than ideal, he acts well on a sound surface and a recovery could put him in the mix.
-
Ross Coakley 10%Stuart Williams 13%254710No signal10/1 11/1 10/1Her most recent run was effectively ended by a sluggish start, losing ground at the off before being beaten close to ten lengths; a pound lower in the weights today, and a clean break could see her bounce back to something like her winning form.
-
-77245No signal13/2 7/1 6/1Keen and flat when beaten 4 1/4l at Salisbury last time, and below his best for a while now despite a dropping mark; the cheekpieces are new today, he acts on any ground at this trip, but he sits at the foot of our ratings and more is needed.
-
Callum Rodriguez 20%Ollie Sangster 14%111119No signal7/1 15/2 7/1Winner at this course from a mark 9lb below today's just two starts back, he ran below that form on turf last time and switches back to his preferred surface; the trainer is in great form and first-time headgear could sharpen his focus.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%121373No signal6/1 8/1 6/1Third at two lengths off an unchanged mark last time out, performing to his usual level; consistent throughout and at home over today's distance and going, though the trainer's poor recent record and first-time tongue-tie add an element of uncertainty.
-
David Egan 14%7No signal25/1Well beaten in a novice on his only start, so there is plenty to prove here; if he can settle better at the start and race more positively he holds some potential, but a significant step up is needed on debut form.
-
Ivan Furtado 10%711316No signal16/1Had three wins in her last six starts and had been running consistently until a well-beaten sixth last time off the same mark as today's; effective at 5-6f on good to soft and AW, but that latest dip makes her hard to fancy despite the strong recent profile.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%Charlie Johnston 13%04-126No signal16/1 14/1 16/1First-time cheekpieces for a gelding who struck at Kempton off a 5lb lower mark three starts back and remains effective at this trip on any surface; the most recent run — beaten 10 lengths — was below his best, but he arrives 1lb lower and has won off a higher mark before.
-
Gina Mangan 11%39-901No signal8/1 5/1 8/1Landed a Ffos Las handicap by two lengths last time; now 7lb higher, the question is whether he can repeat that form, though first-time cheekpieces and a trainer in good form provide some encouragement.
-
David Marnane 10%-21313No signal10/1 8/1 9/1Beaten only a quarter of a length off his previous mark last time, he arrives in decent nick; effective across a range of trips from 5-7f and consistent enough, but our figures place him towards the lower end of the ratings here and a 2lb rise makes progress harder to find.
-
Sam Coen 11%A. J. Martin 7%587-00No signal9/1 10/1 9/1First-time tongue-tie applied, he landed this race in 2024 off a 6lb lower mark and remains capable of a big effort from his current rating; found Chester's tight track unhelpful last time and looks better suited by this venue after a short break.
-
TBAA. J. Martin 7%587-00No signalSP
-
66-492No signal33/1 FCST 28/1Second beaten 3.5 lengths in a handicap here last time when dropped in class — she ran to her level and is in decent form heading into this. Effective at 6f with cut in the ground, she adds a tongue-tie for the first time; yet to score in recent starts, but her form means she is not without a chance.
-
Seamus Cronin 13%Richard Hannon 12%-77620SSteamer Whisper 1 signal12/1 16/1 11/1Dropped well out of contention at York most recently, with that race possibly arriving too quickly; first-time cheekpieces as connections try to unlock more, but a winless record and an inconsistent profile make him hard to trust at this level.
-
Adam Kirby 12%-12251No signal2/1 32/17 2/1Won clearly last time, taking a handicap by four lengths off an 8lb lower mark — a performance that underlines a progressive profile. Effective at five or six furlongs on quick ground, he is a serious threat here; the 8lb rise is the only real question.
-
Kevin Stott 15%Roger Fell 12%-70532No signal7/1 15/2 13/2Rated top of the field and in consistent form, he ran with credit at this course last time when beaten just two lengths off a mark 1lb below today's, typically held up for a late run; a tongue-tie applied for the first time and he steps from stall 15.
-
-25277No signal17/2 9/1 8/1Her York run — where she was badly positioned throughout and beaten eight lengths — can be excused by a difficult draw; tongue-tie added for the first time today, though the trainer has yet to strike in recent starts and her consistency has been mixed.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Tom Clover 17%2212-0No signal7/1 13/2 7/1That reappearance at Ascot — where he trailed in well beaten — had the look of a fitness exercise; highly consistent through 2025 and suited to today's conditions over six furlongs, he should be a different proposition with that run under his belt.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%Michael Appleby 13%-77600No signal12/1 12/1 11/1A former Group-level performer who has shown his best recent form only fleetingly — beaten without excuse at Thirsk last time — he needs to recapture his peak 2025 level to justify favouritism at this mark, and the trainer's current strike rate is a concern.
-
David Nolan 12%Rebecca Menzies 11%8No signal100/1 66/1 80/1Well beaten on his only start at Redcar last week, he appeared to need the run and should come on considerably for it; rated lowest of the field here, he needs a substantial step forward to make any impression.

-
M. P. Sheehy 8%Ian Williams 11%1763/9No signal25/1Once a capable handicapper, he was in fair form prior to a lengthy absence but came back badly beaten at Kempton last time — understandable as a fitness run; effective at 12-18f on any going, he needs to prove he retains ability but the prior form provides mild grounds for optimism.
-
Dougie Costello 10%Neil King 22%251111No signal10/1 15/2 10/1Four wins from his last six starts including a comfortable success last time off a 5lb lower mark, he bids for a fifth in a row returning to turf; first-time cheekpieces applied and carries a penalty but is effective at 14-18f.
-
TBANeil King 22%251111No signalSP
-
William Pyle 9%Craig Lidster 12%6-0662No signal16/1 14/1 16/1Second at Musselburgh last time, beaten only 1¼ lengths off this mark, and the return to 6f is a positive development given her effective range; yet to score in recent starts but she ran with consistency and has realistic claims here.
-
John Fahy 12%Richard Hannon 12%720136No signal12/1 10/1 12/1First-time cheekpieces for a colt who challenged for the front too soon and faded to sixth last time at the same mark; he won at Southwell off a 6lb lower mark three starts back and acts on the all-weather, though the mark demands more again and that pattern of peaking too early is worth noting.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%Charlie Johnston 13%-16040No signal33/1 25/1 28/1Well beaten after being left behind in a handicap at Thirsk last time, he is largely consistent on the AW over 14-16f but has been exposed to the handicapper and finds winning opportunities limited; acts on multiple surfaces.
-
TBACharlie Johnston 13%-16040No signalSP
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Dylan Cunha 13%-53414No signal20/1 14/1 20/1Struck at Newmarket off a 3lb lower mark penultimate start and arrives in fair form, having run to his level last time at the same mark; effective at up to 12f on a sound surface, though stamina over this 16f trip is unproven and is the main reservation here.
-
Edward Greatrex 14%Ed Walker 16%411-97SSteamer Whisper 1 signal7/2 9/1 10/3Well beaten on both outings this season, with his most recent run at Carlisle leaving plenty to answer — he is yet to find his best form this year, though he acts on any going and has the ability to bounce back.
-
Philip Kirby 8%202-04No signal33/1 16/1 33/1Fourth beaten 11 lengths at Southwell last time out, Atheneum has been off the track for 81 days and now gets first-time cheekpieces; he handles this distance on good going and could bounce back closer to his best, but he sits at the foot of our figures and faces a tough task.
-
Autumn Angel20:35 Chepstow race 7 of 7Rowan Scott 11%Tony Carroll 13%337142No signal9/4 32/17 9/4Second over this course and distance last time, going under by just 1 1/4l off this same mark; she acts on good ground, landed a race here earlier in the season, and the new blinkers could give her an extra edge — a clear danger.
-
Luke McAteer 8%David Marnane 10%211-30No signal11/2 5/1 11/2Consistent and performing well until that Cork outing, where she went off too fast for the distance and emptied out in the closing stages; that run can be overlooked. She is generously treated on her all-weather form, handles 6-8f well, and a more restrained approach at a manageable trip should see a much better showing.
- B
-
—No signal10/1 10/1 9/1An unraced debutant with nothing in the form book to go on; the market will be the best guide to his preparation, and he may yet develop into a useful prospect.
-
TBAJames Fanshawe 18%324-43No signalSP
-
William Buick 25%S. P. C. Woods 12%1-6510No signal12/1 14/1 11/1Progressive type who struck at Goodwood off a 4lb lower mark penultimate start, with a notable jockey booking signalling interest from connections; he met trouble last time and his effort was honest enough at the same mark — still with potential for more over staying trips.
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%541No signal33/1 25/1 33/1Tough and willing when landing a maiden at Cork last time, digging in to hold on at the line by a short-margin — she has taken each run in her stride. Effective at 6f on good ground, she steps up in grade here, and with further progress still possible she is a credible danger to the top-rated.
-
Clifford Lee 17%200-37No signal66/1 50/1 66/1Effective at 7-10f on today's ground and a genuine threat at this level; his most recent run at Epsom was compromised by racing too freely, but a more settled display from draw 4 could see him perform much closer.
-
Harry Vigors 12%Charles Hills 15%24-529No signal3/1 11/4 3/1Beaten eight lengths here last time and stamina at this trip looks the likely explanation — more effective over seven or eight furlongs and faces a similar distance question today. Back after 92 days off and the ground suits, but distance doubts persist on our figures.
-
6No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Gave the impression on debut at Dundalk that the trip was too short — staying on late when beaten four lengths, suggesting more ground ahead could unlock improvement. His breeding also points to at least 7f; without a win yet, this step up into a maiden on turf represents the natural next test for him.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%1No signal13/8 11/4 18/13Promising debut where he showed early greenness before getting the job done by 1¼l in novice company; the bare form of that novice contest is unimpressive but a stiff track such as this should play to his strengths, and first-time headgear may focus him further.
-
Tim Easterby 11%-73151No signal12/1 11/1 12/1Landed a handicap by a neck last time to return to form, and has been generally consistent; the step up to 10f is the question given she's best over 8-9f, and our figures leave her needing to outperform her position here.
-
Ben Haslam 14%0-0515No signal33/1 22/1 28/1Below her best when fifth at York last time, though the step up to today's trip should suit and first-time cheekpieces may help — she handles this going, but there is plenty to prove at this level.
-
Ryan Moore 24%Aidan O'Brien 22%128-86No signal14/1 14/1 12/1A filly who took a clear step forward when tackling a mile in a Group 1 here — closer to the pace than on previous starts — she is bred to progress further over middle distances. The ground suits, the trainer-jockey combination commands respect, but she is still building her profile and needs more at this level.
-
41No signal25/1 18/1 25/1Winner at Listowel last time over this trip, building on a debut effort whose form has since been boosted at Group level — a strong signal her best is still ahead of her. She acts on this ground, and with further progression on the cards, she takes this step up in class on an upward curve.
-
William Buick 25%Alan King 16%1/2-11WHTW Whisper 1 signal11/4 3/1 5/2Three wins from his last four starts including a handicap at Chester by over three lengths last time, he has been improving across both disciplines and absorbs a further mark rise without obvious concern; notable jockey booking adds appeal, effective on AW at this trip.
-
TBAAlan King 16%1/2-11No signalSP
-
Joanna Mason 12%Grant Tuer 13%-81191No signal13/2 7/1 13/2Landed a handicap at Musselburgh by four and a quarter lengths last time in a taking effort, and coming back to this course suits — she handles today's trip and going well and looks progressive, though a 37-day absence is the main question.
-
Shane Foley 11%51No signal16/1 14/1 16/1Wearing a hood for the first time and drawn wide, she took a maiden at Cork by four lengths last time — dropped back in trip and ridden positively. The form of that win faces scrutiny, however, and she has a significant amount to find stepping up in grade against more proven opponents.
-
Mr A P Ryan(3) 15%Simon Waugh 5%-15606No signal22/1 20/1 22/1Pulled hard at Leopardstown last time and was beaten 5 lengths, having taken a strong hold; consistent enough in terms of form but returning after 48 days off, and the addition of a tongue-tie today suggests connections are looking to settle him, which remains the key risk.
-
Myla Coppins 17%Tony Carroll 13%470918No signalSP 13/2 15/2Holds an unchanged official mark after finishing three-and-a-quarter lengths off the winner last time on a 4lb rise; handles any ground over today's trip but the handicapper looks to have him on a slightly tight rating at present.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%Richard Hughes 15%—No signal15/2 17/2 15/2By the sprint sire Mehmas out of the mile-effective Shandra, she is a well-bought yearling with a pedigree suggesting 5f is her best trip; the trainer is currently out of form but has a first-run record worth respecting, so keep an eye on market moves.
-
TBAIan Williams 11%223608No signalSP
-
Luke Morris 12%James Owen 18%535-21No signal2/1 9/4 2/1Won a handicap at Chepstow last time, handling a softer surface well to prevail by 1½ lengths off a lower mark — first-time cheekpieces now applied; effective up to 2m on any going, the key is whether he can build on that improved run and hold his own off a higher mark.
-
Oisin McSweeney 10%Roger Fell 12%69No signal100/1 80/1 100/1Short of his debut level when beaten ten lengths in a novice at Ripon last time, this is his second consecutive modest effort; a major turnaround in form would be required to play a part here.
-
Barry McHugh 9%Ewan Whillans 11%443434No signal18/1 14/1 18/1Missed the break at Wolverhampton last time and had too much ground to make up, going under by 3 lengths off a slightly higher mark; consistent at 14-16f on any going and usually content to settle in behind, so a clean start here is crucial — returns from a break and the trip is right.
-
A. Slattery 11%-54117No signal12/1 10/1 11/1Won narrowly at Naas two starts ago, but her last outing over a longer trip resulted in a seventh-place finish well beaten — she clearly does not get beyond this sort of distance. Back at 6-8f today and 1lb below that recent run, though her official mark still looks tight for a horse in decent trim.
-
W. M. Lordan 16%72-105No signal12/1 11/1 12/1In decent trim and narrowly successful at Dundalk off a slightly higher mark three starts ago, he was slightly outstayed when fifth beaten four lengths last time off a mark 1lb above today's. He handles the ground and is effective over this trip, but a career-best performance would be required to win here.
-
Callum Rodriguez 20%Alan King 16%111-62No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Showed improved form with a solid second at Newbury last time and returns from a break with her trainer in good shape — the stable has a strong record in this contest; suited by this trip on any going, though her mark is stiff after a recent run of success.
-
Sean Kirrane 11%Tim Easterby 11%12234-No signal40/1 25/1 40/1Returning from a 345-day absence, making this essentially a fitness run; her last outing before the layoff was below form and the trainer's current strike rate is poor, though she is effective at 5-6f and should come on for the run.
-
Blindfold Games20:55 Lingfield race 7 of 7Jack Callan 14%George Boughey 18%3-6558No signal10/3 9/2 3/1Raced too aggressively from the front last time, she had little left at the finish — that run can be marked up; effective at five to six furlongs on soft and the all-weather, she gets a first-time tongue-tie that may help her settle, and could outrun a cautious assessment if ridden more patiently.
-
TBAJamie Osborne 12%5No signalSP
-
William Carver 10%Jamie Osborne 12%5No signal16/1 12/1 14/1Showed fair enough on his debut at Nottingham, fading close home to finish three lengths off; a sprint pedigree suggests he will handle the distance, and a sound surface suits his action — there should be more to come.
-
Shay Farmer 8%Brian Ellison 10%31-0No signalSP
-
M. P. Sheehy 8%Brian Ellison 10%31-0No signal66/1 80/1 66/1A course winner at this trip on the AW who showed promise earlier in the season, he was well held on his turf debut at York last time and faces stiff opposition stepping up in class.
-
Dylan Hogan 11%Robert Edwards 21%608-84No signal12/1 10/1 12/1Fourth last time despite encountering interference and then fading in the final stages — she ran to her level at a trip that stretches her. Likely at her best over a shorter distance on sound ground; first-time cheekpieces applied today and dropping in class should bring the best out of her.
-
Billy Garritty 11%Ruth Jefferson 13%12-925No signal11/1Below his recent best when beaten six lengths at Carlisle last time, a bounce back is needed to feature here; suits 7-8f on a sound surface and has shown he can compete at this level, but he needs to recapture his better form having gone off the boil most recently.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%2550-4No signal7/2 11/2 10/3Fourth last time beaten 2l off a mark just 1lb above today's, he remains competitively placed; this gelding does his strongest work in the closing stages, and first-time headgear may sharpen his focus with the trainer in good nick.
-
TBAOllie Sangster 14%31-201No signalSP
-
Oisin Orr 14%27-900No signal33/1 FCST 28/1Trailing the field last time here when making no impression from off the pace, beaten 7 lengths; winless in his last five outings and the mark, though easing, still looks stiff given how out of contention he has been in recent starts.
-
Jonathan Portman 13%382003No signal4/1 7/2 4/1Third at Bath last time when a positive ride saw him go to the front a shade too soon, but he ran creditably — that effort is worth marking up. Now back below the level from which he last landed a race, he heads this field on our assessment.
-
Adam Caffrey 9%Karl Thornton 14%551-86No signal16/1Generally consistent over 10-16f on multiple surfaces, he was beaten nine lengths at Fairyhouse last time and needs to bounce back; first-time tongue-tie applied and effective on AW, though he showed little on that most recent occasion.
-
TBAKarl Thornton 14%551-86No signalSP
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Rebecca Menzies 11%344135No signal33/1 28/1 33/1Acquitted herself well when beaten three and a half lengths in Listed company last time, though that step up in class may have overstated her level — our figures rank her last in the field, and her trainer is in very poor current form.
-
Jason Watson 13%Andrew Balding 18%418No signal15/2 6/1 7/1Beaten ten lengths at Salisbury last time in a marked dip from her earlier success — she is effective at today's trip and going, her debut form has been franked, and her trainer has a strong record at this track.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%-70126No signal18/1 14/1 18/1Front-running style set the race up for closers when sixth last time, beaten 4l off today's mark; he landed it at Thirsk three starts back off 5lb lower and can go well again on his best day, but that exuberant style limits him.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Jessica Bedi 4%14036-No signal100/1 40/1 80/1Returning from a long layoff on his debut for a new stable, he is only 1lb above his last winning Flat mark but was well beaten over hurdles at Limerick and looks likely to appreciate a longer test eventually; first-time tongue-tie applied, faces a stiff task here.

Conor Whiteley 15%Ollie Sangster 14%585513No signal2/1 7/4 2/1Keen to post but still finished half a length off in third on an unchanged mark last time; stays a mile on any going and has been in decent form — she remains competitive at this level and should go close again.
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%33320No signal7/1 11/2 7/1Without a win yet, though he has shown the ability of a capable sprinter, he paid the price for being used too prominently in a Group 2 at Ascot last time, weakening out of contention well beaten. Sound surfaces suit, he is effective at 5-6f, and with more restraint today he could show a truer picture — his inability to convert remains the main concern.
-
Cam Hardie 6%Tim Easterby 11%-66033No signal22/1 20/1 22/1Third at Ripon last time beaten 1¼ lengths off this mark, though a run of inconsistency makes him hard to assess; first-time cheekpieces today and running off a competitive weight, he is yet to score in recent starts and needs to find more.

-
Connor Beasley 13%James Tate 19%01-830No signal40/1 33/1 40/1Inconsistent and beaten well last time, this gelding faces a stiff task at this mark; first-time cheekpieces add a fresh element and the trainer is in excellent form, but a lot needs to go right.
-
Shane Gray 15%Kevin Ryan 12%04-050No signal16/1Outpaced over ten furlongs at this track most recently, the drop back to 7-8f is a clear positive; absent 43 days and wearing a tongue-tie for the first time, he has shown his best form on faster ground and the all-weather, so there is a question whether today's going fully plays to his strengths.
-
Shane Gray 15%Kevin Ryan 12%—No signal14/1 10/1 12/1An Earthlight colt purchased for £65,000, he is a half-brother to a useful 6f performer and his dam showed smart form over the same trip as a juvenile; the yard has a good record with first-time runners at this course, and he is well regarded for this debut despite a quiet recent spell for the trainer.
-
Liam Wright 14%George Baker 10%6915-5No signalSP 2/1 9/4Showed form over this course and trip last time out, though that was nearly six months ago; the combination of tongue-tie and cheekpieces both going on for the first time gives her connections something to work with, but she is likely to need the run.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Linda Perratt 10%46-100No signal40/1 28/1 33/1Off 75 days and beaten 9l at this course last time, he faces an awkward mark; first-time blinkers and one of the track's leading riders may help, but he needs a sharp turnaround in form.
-
Sean Levey 13%Jennie Candlish 17%522136No signal18/1 10/1 18/1Landed a 3-length success three starts back before form dipped away; the same mark here asks more than he's shown of late, though first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces could help his cause.
-
Mark Rimell 12%851375No signal16/1 14/1 16/1Moving in the right direction when fifth beaten 4¼ lengths last time off a mark 1lb higher than today's; fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time here and effective at 8-11f, but still needs more to get involved and remains towards the foot of the ratings.

-
86000-No signal33/1 18/1 33/1Absent since last autumn and the form has been erratic; he dwelt leaving the stalls at Wolverhampton most recently and was well beaten, yet 5f on fast ground is the right setup on his best day — a big ask after this lay-off.
-
Stevie Donohoe 12%David Simcock 14%38-581No signal2/1 7/4 2/1Landed a handicap last time out by 2½ lengths on a 4lb lower mark, a return to form though the quality of that win is uncertain; effective at this distance and faster ground suits, though the higher mark now raises the bar.
-
R. P. Cleary 6%Thomas Cleary 10%—No signal66/1 50/1 66/1A Profitable filly acquired for 5,500 euros at the sales, drawn wide in a 21-runner field and from a yard that has had a quiet season. With an unraced dam and no form to call on, she is very much one to observe rather than support at this stage.
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%114026No signal100/1 66/1 100/1Improving but fragile when tested at this level; she was pressed too aggressively at Ascot last time and beaten six lengths in a Group 2, though she ran creditably in the circumstances. She handles any ground and this trip, but the top-class opposition here poses a stiffer test than she has faced before.
