The day's horses
- A
-
Ryan Moore 24%Aidan O'Brien 22%4-15No signal5/1 6/1 9/2Well below his prior level when beaten seven lengths in a 3yo race at Naas last time, never in contention; fitted with first-time blinkers today and has strong connections who may get more from him. Better form beforehand suggests scope for improvement over today's trip, and he will stay further in time.
-
Aidan O'Brien 22%32-420No signal20/1 22/1 16/1High-class colt whose trainer's yard has a strong record in this race, Action was sent forward too prominently and failed to stay in testing conditions at Epsom in a Group 1 last time; better ground here and a more restrained ride could see him show his true quality at today's trip.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%David Menuisier 13%434-7No signal14/1 9/1 11/1Showed reasonable form before a flat effort at Haydock last time when stepped up to 1m; Aerial Silk must prove his stamina over this longer trip but has a top course jockey in the saddle and returns after a short break on a surface he handles.
-
Danny McMenamin 15%Micky Hammond 10%PP31-4No signal7/1 13/2 7/1Racing prominently last time, he gave the closers too much room and was beaten 11 lengths off a mark 2lb above today's; first-time cheekpieces and a trainer in form. Point-to-point ability suggests there is more in the locker than his hurdles mark reflects — a genuine danger.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Phil McEntee 11%9-5707No signal10/1 11/1 9/1Pulled too hard at Yarmouth last time and beaten 9½ lengths, Alafdhal needs to settle better; back on the surface he handles best and below his last competitive mark, with a top course jockey in first-time visor, though the widest draw is a concern.
-
446-46No signal6/4 7/4 3/2Twice successful at Group level in France with high-class form to his name; he found 7f too sharp last time, beaten 7½ lengths in a Group 3 at Epsom, but today's mile is a much better fit. He could prove significantly superior to these rivals if he recaptures his French form.
-
David Bass 15%Charlie Longsdon 16%1163-2No signal16/1 12/1 14/1Solid form at shorter trips with two wins in his recent sequence, but outstayed over a longer distance at Bangor last time despite moving through the race with purpose; today's 3m appears near the limits of his stamina on good ground, making this a test, though competitive enough off his current weight.
-
Ryan Moore 24%Aidan O'Brien 22%2No signal5/6 4/5 5/6Outstanding breeding — her dam a multiple Group 1 winner — gives Alpha every reason to be exciting; a debut second at Leopardstown, beaten ¾ lengths while showing early inexperience, showed she can handle the trip and will improve. The stable has landed this race in three consecutive runnings and she is well placed to build on that experience.
-
P. Twomey 25%5No signalSP
-
Chris Hayes 10%—No signal40/1 20/1 33/1A 230,000 euros Starman filly from a yard with a strong first-time-out record; her dam was very useful at extended distances and successful on her second start, which at least provides a stamina foundation. A significant purchase making her debut, and the market will be the best guide.
-
46-713No signalSP
-
Isabelle Ryder 16%Faye Bramley 15%1/215-No signal12/1 6/1 12/1A front-runner who showed tremendous resolve to edge a handicap at Carlisle last time, winning by a short-head off a 44lb lower mark; back over hurdles now with the tongue-tie fitted and very much in the mix over this trip and going.
-
Rian Corcoran 16%David Pipe 16%324-51No signal7/2 7/1 7/2Front-runner who thrives when allowed to control his own pace, and he bolted up by 13 lengths at Newton Abbot last time off a reduced mark; still on a manageable figure, with distance and going well established. The step back up in class is the key test.
-
Ryan Moore 24%Aidan O'Brien 22%80-441No signal5/1 13/2 9/2Took a maiden at Fairyhouse by 3¼l last time, the first-time headgear combination clearly unlocking an upturn in form when ridden positively; effective at 10-12f on yielding and good, and a debut handicap mark that gives him room to manoeuvre for a still-progressive sort with a leading jockey-trainer partnership in place makes him a compelling threat.
-
31-053No signal10/1 14/1 10/1Finished strongly to be beaten 2l here last time, performing to her mark off a 1lb higher mark at up to a mile; for a leading Irish stable with this trip and track within her comfort zone, building on that effort looks possible — a late-running style could suit if the pace is genuine.
- B
-
Leigh Roche 6%Padraig Roche 10%309-64No signal11/2 11/2 5/1Inconsistent course specialist who moved to the front too soon at this track last time and was beaten two lengths off a mark just 2lb higher; today she wears first-time cheekpieces. She handles good ground at 6-7f, but our figures rank her 16th of 17 and consistency is the concern.
-
William Maggs(3) 10%6736-5No signal12/1 14/1 12/1Out of form in recent starts, comfortably held at Southwell last time; the trip and going present no issues and first-time tongue-tie is a change. Yet to win in his last five starts, and there is little encouragement from the current run of results.
-
Danny McMenamin 15%Nicky Richards 17%6843-7No signal6/1 6/1 5/1Outrun at Uttoxeter last time but that effort was clearly about getting a run into him; he should come on from it and acts on this ground over a range of trips — without a win in recent starts but can improve with racing under his belt.
-
Richie McLernon 13%Sam England 15%318-51No signalSP 10/1 14/1Struggles to feature on our figures given the 44lb jump from his last Flat run; effective over this trip on similar ground and the tongue-tie is new, while connections are in decent nick — worth a second look at bigger prices.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%631-60No signal8/1 17/2 15/2A winner on this surface, Barry The Worm was too free at Salisbury last time and faded down the field; first-time cheekpieces are fitted here and he handles the all-weather well — if able to settle, the ability is there.
-
Mark Usher 10%960342No signal7/2 2/1 7/2Back in form at Leicester last time, going down by only three-quarters of a length off a mark 1lb below today's, and returning to the AW where almost all his best efforts have come; first-time cheekpieces applied though stamina over sixteen furlongs is unproven. A genuine danger.
-
Derek Fox 12%O25-42No signal25/1 9/1 22/1Shaped better at Hexham last time under a positive ride, beaten 3 lengths off this mark on a stiffer track; cheekpieces fitted and effective across a range of trips — winless in recent starts but must carry that effort forward.
-
Ryan Moore 24%Aidan O'Brien 22%113-1VNo signal7/4 3/2 7/4Won a Group 3 at Chester by four lengths last time with authority, Benvenuto Cellini was a non-runner at Epsom due to a stalls incident before that and that run should be set aside; proven at 12f with the faster surface strongly in his favour and a top stable behind him, he is the one to beat.
-
W. J. Lee 16%2-0192No signal11/4 5/2 11/4Back in good form at the Curragh last time, finishing second in a Group 2 contest beaten just 2l having been slightly tardy in making his challenge; a consistent performer at this level who goes particularly well at this venue, first-time tongue-tie applied now, though conceding weight to younger rivals is the ask.
-
Leah Noreci 7%James Moffatt 13%54-4No signal80/1 40/1 66/1Beaten 40 lengths when fourth at this course last time, repeatedly showing modest form in maidens; stamina over hurdles also remains unproven at this trip. Winless in her last three outings and our lowest-ranked runner, though her connections have a strong record in this race.
-
Leah Noreci 7%James Moffatt 13%177-53No signal14/1Showed her stamina when beaten 2½ lengths here last time after dropping in class; has the form at this course and distance, and first-time cheekpieces could spark further improvement — she is capable of a say.
-
John Dixon 2%405U-UNo signal50/1 33/1 40/1Parted company with his rider early at this track last time out, adding to consecutive unseating runs; our lowest-ranked runner with plenty to prove and winless in recent starts. First-time cheekpieces and he handles sound ground, but more secure jumping is essential.
-
Jack O'Neill 0%Faye Bramley 15%0P1P-5No signal12/1 11/1 12/1Persistent jumping errors and inconsistency make him a difficult proposition, and he burned himself out too soon at Ballinrobe last time. The trip and going pose no problems, but he's ranked bottom of this field on our figures.
-
Hector Crouch 18%James Tate 19%347324No signal6/5 2/1 11/10Fourth at Nottingham last time, beaten four and a half lengths in a handicap where she lacked the necessary pace, but she handles today's surface and has a recent placed effort on the AW to her name; a trainer in excellent current form adds appeal. Stamina at this trip is the question.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Derek Shaw 7%378-No signal18/1 18/1 14/1Returning from a long absence after finding the start unhelpful at Southwell last time, where he was well beaten in a novice; effective over seven furlongs and dropping to today's shorter trip could suit; open to improvement and acts on sound going. The layoff is the key unknown.
-
Danny Gilligan 11%Cian Collins 9%6745-1No signal9/1 8/1 9/1Had been frustrating before getting off the mark at Kilbeggan last time, winning by 2½ lengths off a 10lb lower mark; tongue-tie and cheekpieces now fitted as he returns to fences — the scope is there to build on that now he has broken his duck.
-
Chris Hayes 10%Noel Meade 11%34-111No signalSP 10/1 12/1Three wins in recent starts, including a 3yo race at Naas last time when a stiff track played to his strengths; yet to be fully tested at this trip and appears to hold strong potential at this level, though draw 17 and six weeks since his last run are factors.
-
J A Stack 12%0-1851No signal4/1 7/2 4/1Took a handicap at Navan most recently, ¾l to the good on a stiff-tracked course that played to his strengths; effective at 5-6f on good or heavy ground, and with the trainer in form he arrives as a consistent performer with every chance of making an impact in this stronger contest.
-
Bryan Carver 13%Chris Honour 18%/37P-0No signal11/1 12/1 11/1Third on our ratings and carrying a mark that flatters on his best form, but inconsistency has been his downfall — a succession of jumping errors at Haydock last time left him well beaten. The trip and ground suit, and he's a threat if he settles and jumps cleanly.
-
Finley Marsh 14%John Mackie 11%216213No signal6/1 9/2 6/1Landed a race at Southwell off a lower mark earlier in the campaign and ran his race again last time, going down by 3 lengths from the same mark; first-time cheekpieces and a trainer in form strengthen Bomb Squad’s case as a clear danger.
-
W. J. Lee 16%600-50No signal9/1 16/1 17/2Drawn wide again from stall 11 and on a run of poor form, Booyea was caught wide at Leopardstown last time on what may have been unsuitable ground; first-time blinkers could help on a more amenable surface, but he needs to reverse a declining trend to get involved.
-
12126-No signal12/1 7/1 12/1Two wins in his recent sequence before an extended absence and a run in a Grade 2 last time where he was outclassed on unsuitable ground; returning to handicap company at 2m on good ground is more his sphere, though 225 days off needs overcoming and the current weight could prove stiff.
-
Harry Reed 14%Tristan Davidson 15%251-32No signal11/8 10/3 18/13Narrowly held last time, going down by ¾ length off 123 before his stamina faded late; 4lb higher here but visor fitted and effective over this range of trips on decent ground — in good recent order and has every chance if the mark doesn't prove too stiff.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%Gavin Cromwell 11%460-39No signal40/1 22/1 28/1Yet to score in recent starts and well below her best at Gowran Park last time, going down the field over a longer trip; form has been inconsistent and the trainer is out of sorts, though her sire brings stamina and the first-time tongue-tie is worth a note.
-
R. P. Cleary 6%1-3156No signal50/1 28/1 50/1Two wins on his recent record and went well through the winter period, but the mark appears to have caught up with him — beaten seven lengths at Dundalk last time off 77. That rating looked stretched on the day and there is little from recent form to suggest a reversal here.
-
Sean Levey 13%Richard Hannon 12%3-11No signal66/1 40/1 50/1Back-to-back wins including a three-length success at Gowran Park last time, Bunyola Bay is bred to get further and should benefit from the step up to 12f; he steps up markedly in class here, however, and faces a considerably stronger test than he has encountered so far.
-
8431-4No signalSP
-
Ryan Mania 17%R. Mike Smith 10%563-21No signal9/2 5/2 7/2Won over fences at Perth last time by 6 lengths off a 7lb lower mark; hood and tongue-tie now fitted and he's generally consistent over this range of trips — 7lb higher but there could be further improvement to come back over fences and hard to dismiss.
- C
-
Lewis Saunders 16%Olly Murphy 23%2632-4No signal9/2 8/1 7/2Consistent performer who handles 2m on good to soft ground, Caelan was beaten 11 lengths at Aintree last time on a demanding track; a first-time tongue-tie may help sharpen him, though he is yet to win in his last five starts and the trainer is below peak at 29% lately.
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%0-1948No signal15/2 9/1 13/2Beaten 3½l in a Group 2 here last time, reverting around the balance of what she has shown this year after a strong 2025 season; a sound surface suits and that condition is met today, though draw 10 is wide and her recent record reflects a filly below her former best.
-
Ross Burdon 12%8-6No signal66/1 50/1 66/1Two runs in Ireland produced little — beaten eight lengths in a claimer at Gowran Park last time — and much remains to be demonstrated on this switch to Flat conditions after a short break; the trainer is in good form and the speed-stamina pedigree mix is workable, though this asks considerable questions.
-
Theo Gillard 12%Donald McCain 15%0682-6No signal28/1 14/1 28/1Still in the early stages of his handicap career after struggling on debut at Southwell last time, beaten 9 lengths; effective over 2m on this ground and there is enough potential to keep him on the shortlist, but a clear step up is required.
-
Luke Morris 12%Archie Watson 15%32No signal7/2 9/2 10/3Second at Lingfield last time, beaten just over two lengths in a novice, represents solid AW form and her debut efforts have been backed up since; there is a case for further improvement here and she is effective at seven furlongs on the surface. One of the main threats.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%5No signal4/1 9/4 4/1Ran freely on debut at Lingfield but showed enough ability through the race before fading to a 5¼-length fifth; the faster surface here looks a significant upgrade on conditions and she is bred to improve. Trainer in strong current form — she looks the one to beat.
-
Gavin Ryan 8%A. Slattery 11%3-7743No signalSP 28/1 33/1Plugged into third at Gowran Park last time, finishing 6¼l off the winner in a 3yo race; consistent in nature but yet to score in recent starts, and this step up in class makes it a significant ask — effective at 7-8f with cut, she is outpaced on our figures.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%Aidan O'Brien 22%11-131No signal4/1 FCST 7/2Winner of the Group 1 at Epsom by three lengths last time, Christmas Day showed real quality at this trip and acts on any going; the faster surface today may not play to his strengths and the bare form is hard to weigh up, but he is unquestionably a major contender.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Gordon Elliott 18%34-4F1No signal8/13 9/17 1/2Made amends for a debut fall by landing a maiden hurdle at Roscommon four and a quarter lengths clear last time; a hood is tried for the first time and this filly looks open to further progress. Effective at the trip on good ground — a strong candidate here.
-
Philip Kirby 8%4514-3No signal14/1 16/1 12/1Third behind the pace at his last start, beaten 10 lengths off 90, and 1lb lower here with cheekpieces added; handles this going over 2m but his trainer has had a blank 14-day period and more is needed to feature in this company.
-
A. Slattery 11%74-205No signal12/1 8/1 12/1Back on a workable mark and proven at today's trip and going, Cloud Seeker came back to form here last time beaten four lengths after a break; effective at 10-12f with an accessible weight, he merits respect in a wide-open field.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Michael Appleby 13%-26458No signal14/1 11/1 12/1Went off too freely when stepped up in trip here last time and failed to stay, beaten 10 lengths; Clover Time arrives with a cold trainer run and is ranked last on our figures, though first-time cheekpieces and an easing mark are minor positives after a short break.
-
David Noonan 8%Henry Oliver 8%762-42No signal10/1 6/1 9/1Second at Fakenham last time under more forward tactics, Coastguard Station is in fair form and handles this trip and ground well; first-time cheekpieces suggest connections are refining his approach, and he is well respected on our figures despite being winless in his last five starts.
-
Chris Hayes 10%D K Weld 13%0-0633No signal10/1 17/2 10/1Back in form with consecutive placings, Coeur d'Or showed real determination at Leopardstown last time when beaten just a length and a half; proven at this course and distance on suitable going, he arrives with tongue-tie and blinkers for the first time and holds strong claims.
-
Ryan Mania 17%Adam Nicol 16%P-1141No signal5/2 3/2 9/4Three wins from his last five, including a 7-length handicap success at Hexham last week; carries a penalty here with the tongue-tie fitted, and a repeat would be impressive — clearly in good heart but the higher weight asks more.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Mark Loughnane 10%-49436No signal15/2 12/1 7/1Despite suffering early interference last time here, Cooramook came down beaten only 3 lengths off a mark 1lb above today’s — arguably a better effort than the bare result suggests; first-time blinkers and a top course jockey boost her claims after a short break.
-
Ashley Lewis 14%Ed Walker 16%87No signal33/1 28/1 33/1His Salisbury run 19 days ago — beaten 8¼ lengths in a novice — hinted at development as a debut outing, though plenty more is needed; sire brings speed and dam offers some stamina, a mix that may suit today's trip.
-
Ollie Sangster 14%4-1224No signal50/1 10/1 40/1Landed a race at Kempton off a lower mark earlier in the season, Court Of Stars ran to form last time despite missing the start, finishing fourth beaten only 2 lengths off this mark; consistent throughout and from an inside draw, she is a solid danger.
-
90-821No signal11/1 8/1 11/1Won a conditions race at Fairyhouse last time by two lengths, benefitting from a strong pace; a Group winner at two and by no means a token stable runner. He is effective at 7-8f with cut in the ground, though today's quick surface may not play to his strengths.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%Jack Jones 12%—No signal40/1 28/1 40/1Showed little in an Amateurs' bumper at Worcester on her only previous start — well beaten and unable to make any impact — and has plenty to demonstrate making the switch to the Flat. Hard to fancy at this stage.
-
Myla Coppins 17%Tony Carroll 13%151465No signal5/2 3/1 5/2Hampered at a critical point at Bath last time, which excuses a 3½-length defeat off a mark 7lb lower than today; a genuine AW stayer who thrives at 14-16 furlongs, with a first-time tongue-tie fitted and a top course trainer in his corner. A forgivable run and capable of going close.
-
Harry Cobden 22%68P5-1No signal4/1 7/2 4/1Back to form last time, winning off a reduced mark at Market Rasen with nothing to spare; still well placed on his best form despite the 4lb rise, and first-time cheekpieces are a positive addition. The main query is whether he'll see out this longer trip.
-
Sean Quinlan 15%P9P/72No signal22/1 13/2 20/1A step in the right direction at Hexham last time, beaten just two lengths off a mark 2lb lower than today's; first-time blinkers are applied. Unreliable on his record — twice pulled up in his last five — but his better efforts suggest the handicapper has been lenient at this trip.
-
Jamie Hamilton 10%701-No signal14/1 9/1 14/1Her debut hurdles run at Kelso — a win by one and a quarter lengths at a big price — suggested real ability despite being outpaced early; off for 87 days now but more is expected at this sort of trip on good-to-soft ground. Hard to dismiss despite the break.
-
Tom Marquand 16%William Haggas 23%31131-No signal7/1 11/2 13/2A handicapper on the upgrade last season, winning at Ascot to show he handles 8-10f well in any conditions; returning after eight months on the sidelines, this is a tough test on his comeback against top-level rivals, though the trainer is in form and improvement looks likely once race-fit.
-
205179No signal33/1 25/1 28/1Won narrowly at Dundalk three starts back off a mark 3lb lower, but showed too much too soon when finishing ninth beaten eight lengths off this same mark last time; inconsistent in recent outings. First-time cheekpieces here and he handles any ground at 5f, but the form is hard to trust.
-
Brian Hughes 19%James Moffatt 13%7644-7No signalSP 10/1 12/1Drops in the weights after a run of modest results and the ground was too fast when well beaten here last time; visor fitted now and he clearly needs ease in the ground — if conditions soften enough, his best form puts him right in the picture.
- D
-
43-113No signal5/1 9/2 4/1Hampered and with plenty to make up when closing to be third last time, beaten only a length off 88; the mark here is just 1lb higher. He landed a narrow success at Lingfield on his penultimate outing, and turf on fast ground is the one question today.
-
J M Sheridan 11%52-807No signal28/1 20/1 28/1Familiar with today's ground and carrying experience in this grade, Dawn Rising heads our figures despite a below-par season to date; the 12f trip looks a shade short of his ideal range and a stronger showing is needed to justify favouritism.
-
2P27-4No signal12/1 10/1 11/1Fourth at Bangor-on-Dee last time when a run was required after a break, beaten 31 lengths; blinkers and tongue-tie both fitted for the first time now, and there may be more to offer off an eased mark — though he is yet to win in recent starts.
-
Brian Ellison 10%323U-3No signal33/1 20/1 25/1Consistent placed finisher in his last three completed runs, he looks competitive at this level and suited by the trip and prevailing good ground; first-time cheekpieces are the only change. Trainer form is a concern at present but his form figures point his way and he's the one to beat.
-
Robert Dunne 8%Tristan Davidson 15%45-361No signal4/1 6/1 4/1Up in trip at Hexham 15 days ago, patient tactics paid dividends when the early pace collapsed and he landed a handicap by two and a half lengths off a 5lb lower mark; now raised but the trainer is in form. The 2m4f-plus trip clearly suits and the going is fine.
-
Danny McMenamin 15%Brian Ellison 10%539-38No signal25/1 16/1 25/1Took a step back at Hexham, jumping poorly and well beaten when tried over a longer trip; more effective at 2m on this ground and the drop back in distance could help, though the trainer is out of form and a turnaround is needed.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%07-212No signal9/4 5/2 9/4Top-rated on our figures with a trainer in fine current form; he travelled well last time, hit the front but was outstayed late when a narrow second off a mark 3lb lower than today, while two starts back he cleared away more decisively when conditions fully favoured. Stamina is the only mild query.
-
940-71No signal17/2 5/1 8/1Landed a Listed race at Navan last time by half a length, dropping in grade to get there; handles 7-8f on yielding to good and is generally consistent. The opposition at Navan was modest for the grade, so she needs to step forward here to trouble the principals.
- E
-
977-77No signal80/1 50/1 66/1Winless and thoroughly out of form — a run of seventh-place finishes culminating in a six-length defeat at Newcastle — with nothing of note on the Flat since 2022; a hurdles spell added little either. Hard to find merit in his cause on present evidence.
-
UP5-51No signal4/1Back to form at Worcester last time, winning by 3 lengths off a reduced mark and confirming his stamina for this kind of trip; still generously weighted against his best form, and first-time tongue-tie is a small addition. The step up in class after a quick turnaround is the main risk.
-
Derek Fox 12%94No signal4/1 11/2 11/4Fourth at Downpatrick last time, beaten 12 lengths but a step forward from her debut in terms of the form she showed; effective at this sort of trip on the prevailing going and heading in the right direction. Winless in her last two starts but a further step forward is plausible.
-
Terry Casey 7%54-207No signal33/1 FCST 28/1Front-running filly with natural pace who overdid it at the head of affairs in a Listed sprint at Cork last time, going down by nine lengths; better suited by today's 5f on a sound surface, and the addition of a first-time tongue-tie may help her race more conservatively.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%6-211No signal8/13 2/3 8/13Back-to-back wins, the latest an emphatic 28-length success at Stratford on his handicap debut, mark Edelak out as progressive with more to offer; the trainer is operating at 52%, first-time cheekpieces add an intriguing element and today's conditions look ideal — comfortably the one to beat in this small field.
-
Kyle McHugh 7%Ruth Jefferson 13%-39451No signal7/4 Evs 31/19Landing a handicap at Newcastle last time by three-quarters of a length off a mark 2lb lower, he appears back to something like his best; effective at 14-16 furlongs on the AW and still on a workable mark, he could build further on that run now a win is back under the belt.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%664No signal9/1 11/2 8/1Appeared to idle when only fourth at Windsor last time, Eljowhary is expected to benefit from stepping up in trip and moving into handicap company; he handles the all-weather and a first-time hood is fitted to sharpen him up.
-
Jack Callan 14%George Baker 10%—No signal66/1 50/1 66/1A Cable Bay filly who is a full-sister to smart 6f performer Silver Samurai, and another sibling has gone in over six furlongs second time out — the sprint pedigree is compelling; she is likely to benefit from having this run first but the family form gives genuine reason for optimism.
-
Phil McEntee 11%8-3189No signal25/1 18/1 25/1Had every chance in this grade last time but was still beaten 8 lengths here; first-time cheekpieces and sitting just 1lb above his last winning mark are small pluses, though Em Jay Kay returns from a 107-day break and draws wide.
-
J A Stack 12%—No signal40/1 25/1 28/1A full sister to Thesecretadversary — high-class at 7f — and by St Mark's Basilica out of a smart middle-distance mare, giving Endless Night outstanding credentials for this trip and beyond. The stable is capable of producing debutants ready to run and the market is worth watching.

Theo Gillard 12%Donald McCain 15%9421P-No signal4/1 9/4 7/2Before her pulled-up run at Bangor, she had won over hurdles and shaped with real promise; stays the trip and handles today's going, and her connections carry a strong record in this race. Returns after 71 days needing a better showing but heads our ratings and has the ability.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%-90033No signal22/1 14/1 22/1Third in a Listed sprint at Cork last time, running to his best after a disappointing spell of form earlier in the season; clearly capable at a high level and acts on any ground. First-time visor here; whether he can translate that Listed effort into a handicap result is the question.
-
Jack Quinlan 15%Nick Scholfield 14%514-63No signal18/1 9/1 16/1Consistent enough, with a decent third at Plumpton last time behind him, and the trip and ground are well within his compass; first-time tongue-tie suggests connections see more to come. Our figures, however, rank him near the foot of this field, making him difficult to endorse.
-
Sean Quinlan 15%076-12No signal10/1 9/2 9/1Running with renewed purpose and only denied by a neck last time off a mark 4lb lower than today's, doing everything right until run out of it in the closing stages; that tendency to find little late is the concern. First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces applied; the mark still looks workable.
-
Jack Cleary 8%Aidan O'Brien 22%—No signal12/1 13/2 9/1A half-sister to City Of Troy and by Into Mischief out of a Group 1-winning dam; the pedigree is formidable, though the stronger claims in this race appear to lie with a stablemate. The market will be instructive; the stable has landed this race in each of the last three runnings.
-
J A Stack 12%7No signal100/1 40/1 80/1Well beaten on debut at Listowel, showing clear inexperience throughout without landing a blow; she needs to demonstrate significant improvement today and is firmly on the outside of the market on our figures. Bred to prefer a sound surface and there is scope, but she has plenty to prove.

-
R. P. Whelan 9%22-212BBoD Whisper 1 signal10/3 FCST 3/1Won at Killarney two starts back and ran a fine race last time despite missing the break and doing too much too soon, Factual Fact is in good form and effective at this trip; the 4lb rise makes life slightly harder but he remains very much in the mix.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%74-83No signal6/4 31/19 3/2Putting in a solid handicap debut at Thirsk last time, going down by 2 lengths off a mark 1lb below today’s, Faeberon showed he can compete at this level; first-time cheekpieces are tried and he stays well, though he has more to prove here.
-
Stephen Thorne 12%1-6422No signal9/1 5/1 17/2Placed in his last two outings and unfortunate at Naas last time when meeting trouble after being held up, Far From Dandy arrives relatively fresh and tries first-time cheekpieces at a venue he handles; effective at today's trip and on a mark just a pound higher than last time.
-
Gina Mangan 11%Fergal O'Brien 15%120419No signal14/1 9/1 12/1Landed a race here off a lower mark earlier in the season, but Faster Bee ran very free last time and was beaten 14 lengths; he handles this surface and trip and wears first-time tongue-tie after a short break, though the revised mark needs more.
-
Ryan Mania 17%Adam Nicol 16%16414-No signal18/1 FCST 14/1Fourth at Kelso on her last start, beaten 11 lengths and not threatening the finish; off for 87 days now with tongue-tie and cheekpieces both on for the first time. Effective at this sort of trip on sound ground, but our lowest-ranked runner and has more to do.
-
Paul O'Brien 14%Harry Derham 20%6851-1No signal13/2 5/1 13/2Back-to-back hurdles successes mark him as a genuine contender here and he handles this trip and going well enough; below par on a Flat start at Kempton but that effort can be set aside, and the tongue-tie is new.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Gary Hanmer 12%66533-No signal11/2 9/2 5/1Third at Market Rasen last time, beaten 4½ lengths, and she goes well fresh off this 84-day break; effective over a range of trips from 2m to 2m5f and has a decent chance on this evidence, though she is yet to win in recent starts.
-
Danny Gilligan 11%Cian Collins 9%5P00-8No signal5/1 7/2 9/2Cartmel specialist who has taken this race in each of the past three seasons; first-time cheekpieces fitted after failing to stay the trip at Ballinrobe latest, and he drops to a mark 2lb lower than 12 months ago — the course record makes him hard to oppose.
-
Scott Dixon 7%39-000No signal5/1 11/2 9/2Three consecutive unplaced efforts are a concern, the latest at Doncaster where being drawn on the wrong side cost him; effective at five to six furlongs on AW but a trainer currently without a strike and a brief break to freshen up make this a hard proposition. A significant upturn in form is required.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Gordon Elliott 18%34-411WHTW Whisper 1 signal4/6 9/17 8/13Progressive hurdler who stepped up in trip last time and ran out an 8-length winner, looking like a horse still very much on the upgrade; the distance and going are well within his compass. The weight he concedes in this small field is the only concern.
-
Mr O McGill 17%37/1-3No signal11/4 17/2 11/4Shaped with credit on the hurdles last time, finishing 5¼ lengths off the pace off a revised mark; 2lb higher here but back over fences where he may be better suited, and he acts on this going — a genuine each-way proposition.
-
Harry Ryall 15%900-06No signal5/1 17/2 5/1In poor shape at Bath last time, beaten six lengths in a handicap, and his reliable form is firmly over shorter trips of seven to eight furlongs; a first-time tongue-tie is fitted but stamina over sixteen furlongs looks a serious concern. Hard to justify on current evidence.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%John James Feane 10%70-966No signal11/1 22/1 10/1Held up at the back in a Listed race at Cork most recently, beaten 3½l without landing a meaningful blow; winless in recent starts and a step back in grade rather than a rise would seem better suited — effective at 6f on a sound surface, but faces a tall order here.
- G
-
Jack Tudor 13%P22P8-No signal22/1 16/1 22/1Second on our ratings and well rated against his best Irish form, with connections having been successful in this race last year; probably found the trip a stretch at Sandown most recently. Consistent form on a sound surface would make him a serious threat.
-
Edward Greatrex 14%Charlie Pike 7%—No signal40/1 25/1 40/1Debut runner by top-class middle-distance sire Ulysses, a half-brother to 6f performer Boma Green, so the trip question hinges on which influence prevails; the stable is in excellent current form, which is the main thing in his favour here.
-
Charlie Maggs 14%3311-5No signal9/1 13/2 9/1Front-runner who landed a tight finish at Hexham two starts back, though performed to his recent level without threatening at the same mark last time; the trip and ground are familiar, and first-time tongue-tie is a small addition. His best suggests this mark is still workable.
-
W. M. Lordan 16%M C Grassick 9%0-7022No signal12/1 10/1 11/1Progressive filly who was just edged out at Fairyhouse last time, going down by a short-head in an auction race where she may have been slightly outstayed late. Effective at 5-6f on yielding to good; first-time cheekpieces could sharpen the response, though stall 15 and the class step are factors to weigh.
-
Wesley Joyce 6%0-1403No signal28/1 16/1 28/1Landed a half-length success at this track in May off a mark 2lb lower and was a close third on his most recent outing after dropping in class; drops 1lb here. A natural front-runner suited by the trip; first-time cheekpieces add interest, though he is ideally at home on the all-weather.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%G. M. Lyons 16%22-442No signal20/1 11/1 20/1Beaten a neck in a Listed contest at Navan last time, producing an encouraging effort as he stepped up in trip; has been gradually progressing throughout the season and the first-time tongue-tie could help further, though yet to score in recent starts and this is a step up again in grade.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Sam England 15%55-221No signal11/4 7/2 5/2Consistent performer who took a handicap at Hexham by 3 lengths off a 4lb lower mark last time and runs off the same official mark here; handles this ground and distance well and the trainer is in form — well worth including.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Chris Gordon 13%/22-11WHTW Whisper 1 signal2/1 32/17 2/1Back here just two days after landing a handicap by 7 lengths at this course and clearly in fine fettle; the progressive profile makes him a threat but he carries a 7lb penalty this time and the quick turnaround needs to hold up.
-
Leah Noreci 7%James Moffatt 13%1426-3No signal10/1 9/2 17/2Finished 4½ lengths off the pace at this course last time and his best hurdle figures suggest he's on a workable mark; tongue-tie fitted and effective over this trip on good ground — should go well if producing close to his ceiling.
-
Mr Lucas Murphy 19%David Pipe 16%11-612No signal9/1 10/1 17/2Three wins in his last five starts including an 18-length success at this track two starts back, Grand Clermont still appears well treated on his combined UK and French form; 2lb higher than when runner-up last time but a first-time tongue-tie and the right conditions give him solid claims.
-
Sheila Lewis 8%3223-1No signal8/1 13/2 8/1Won at Bangor last time by over four lengths in a race where the leaders set a strong pace, suiting his hold-up style; handles a wide range of trips and ground and arrives in fair form, though our figures place him last of seven and this is a considerably stronger heat.
-
Jonathan Burke 15%4476-3No signalSP 22/1 16/1Third at this course on his latest start, Gunsight Ridge has been below his best this season but has slipped down the weights and hinted at a return to form last time; he can be sluggish in his racing, but the first-time tongue-tie may help address that and he handles today's trip and ground well.
- H
-
Leah Noreci 7%James Moffatt 13%366-11No signal2/1 32/17 2/1Two wins on the bounce and clearly in fine form — the latest a narrow success here under a positive front-running ride at a 7lb lower mark. Raised again in the weights but the course, trip and good ground all suit; tongue-tie on first time. Looks the one to beat.
-
Harry Cobden 22%Emma Lavelle 18%1534-4No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Fourth at Fakenham last time, Hang In There heads our figures and handles today's trip and ground; a fresh campaign alongside a first-time visor makes him the one to beat, though the mark is stiff enough that a sharp performance will be needed.
-
Scott Dixon 7%009003No signal16/1 14/1 16/1Back to some form last time here over course and distance, Harbour Vision tops our figures and first-time blinkers could help him build on that performance; he is a tricky customer, though, and a cold trainer run of form introduces some doubt.
-
6-No signal125/1 80/1 125/1Back after nearly a year off the track, Harry Rocket was well beaten on his only start at Leicester, and much remains to be demonstrated from that forgettable debut; a sprint-miler cross pedigree offers little comfort at this distance. Hard to fancy on these figures.
-
Shay Wallace 7%9-6706No signal50/1 FCST 40/1Pressed hard up front at Cork last time, doing too much too early and beaten six lengths; form has slipped through recent starts. Stall 16 is a further obstacle, and while first-time tongue-tie is an application for improvement, our figures rank him last of the 17 runners here.
-
Ashley Lewis 14%Ed Walker 16%5-No signal6/1 15/2 11/2Fair on debut at Lingfield, beaten nine lengths in a maiden though she showed clear inexperience throughout; off the track for over six months since, which is a concern, but a sire-miler dam-stayer cross suggests the trip could suit better beyond a mile as she fills her frame. Lightly raced with scope.
-
Danny McMenamin 15%Dianne Sayer 15%4P97-1No signal11/1 9/1 10/1A horse with a strong affinity for Kelso who landed a handicap narrowly there last time out, showing a return to form at his favoured track on a mark 3lb lower than today's; now steps up in class but handles the ground and trip. Streaky form figures are the one reservation.
-
Ciaran O'Shea(3) 23%Harry Fry 17%15F6-3No signal6/1 13/2 11/2Third at Warwick last time, probably hitting the front a touch too soon when stepping up in trip but staying on creditably; the trip and going suit her profile, and first-time tongue-tie is added today. Our figures place her near the foot of the field.
-
Mr O McGill 17%/21-76No signal7/1 11/1 13/2First-time cheekpieces for this one, who has shown promise based on his bumper profile; beaten 9 lengths stepping up in trip at Listowel last time, but the drop back to a more suitable distance could suit and there may yet be scope for further progress in handicap hurdles.
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Debra Hamer 15%4U12-3No signal28/1 11/1 28/1Steadily progressive over this trip on fast ground, Hold Your Fort won by over five lengths three starts back before struggling to dictate terms when third last time out; 1lb lower here after a short break, but our figures place him firmly in the outsider bracket.
-
Gavin Sheehan 22%Jamie Snowden 26%12R-32WHTW Whisper 1 signal11/4 11/4 5/2Beaten just a length at Stratford last time after being detached behind an early front-runner, Hope Rising is consistent and well suited by 2m on fast ground; she rates a strong danger here and the manner of that effort suggests her ability is not fully exposed at this level.
-
Shane Foley 11%5440-3No signal13/2 6/1 13/2Just headed in the final strides at Navan last time, ¼l third in a Listed contest after being in a winning position close home — a strong effort; first-time cheekpieces for a horse who has landed at the top level in the past and is effective at 8-10f; that prior class makes him a serious rival here.
-
Colin Keane 16%G. M. Lyons 16%661-41No signal9/1 10/1 8/1Two wins in his last five starts, the most recent a handicap at Leopardstown going up in trip on a softer surface; the form has since been validated, but a sharp hike to the official rating makes this a much stiffer test, and our figures rank him towards the foot of the 18-runner field.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%3No signal11/8 6/5 5/4Promising on debut here when third, beaten two lengths in a maiden — ran freely and struck the front ahead of his time, but the AW form is solid and there is clear scope for improvement. A top course jockey takes the ride and the mile trip on this surface suits.

-
W. M. Lordan 16%Aidan O'Brien 22%4No signal5/1 4/1 5/1An encouraging 2¼-length fourth on debut at Leopardstown in a competitive maiden, seemingly knowing her job from the outset with considerably more in reserve; her dam is a French Listed winner and she is bred to stay at least 10f. The stable has landed this race three runnings in a row and she rates the chief danger here.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%David O'Meara 13%556No signal9/1 17/2 6/1Beaten 9¼ lengths at Thirsk last time when the shorter trip looked against her — the hood is on for the first time today and a top course jockey takes the saddle; her dam was successful at 7f but this distance could still be a stretch. May fare better in handicap company over further.
-
Stan Sheppard 16%Tom Lacey 19%075-21No signal20/1 14/1 20/1Back in form with a win at Stratford last time, landing a handicap on a step up in trip by two and a quarter lengths; first-time cheekpieces are a new addition and he handles 3m on a sound surface, though our figures place him in the outsider bracket for this stronger contest.
-
Sean Quinlan 15%3365-1No signal8/1 7/1 8/1Progressive sort who took a handicap here by a neck last time, off a 4lb higher mark than he carries today; tongue-tie fitted and reverts to hurdles where he can build on that form — effective at this distance on good ground and worth treating with respect.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%Gavin Cromwell 11%2122-9No signal12/1 9/1 12/1Useful Flat performer with scope for further improvement at this longer trip, In My Teens was found wanting for pace when beaten seven lengths here last time; a first-time hood could help and she is open to progress, though the trainer's recent record is a note of caution.
-
Ben Lund 2%3/3/98No signal40/1 40/1 33/1After missing the break at Kempton last time he over-raced in an attempt to recover, ultimately finishing well beaten in a handicap; form looks to be heading the wrong way and he needs to show considerably more than recent outings have offered.
-
Jamie Hamilton 10%Mark Walford 11%25-462No signal28/1 12/1 25/1Tongue-tie fitted for the first time and shaped with renewed intent at Market Rasen last time, beaten just 2½ lengths off a 1lb lower mark; yet to win in recent starts but handles this trip and a good run is not out of the question.
-
Ryan Moore 24%Aidan O'Brien 22%54-451No signal9/1 5/1 9/1Got home by a neck in a Listed contest at Navan last time, digging deep after meeting trouble in running — a gutsy effort; stays 10f, handles today's conditions, and with an elite booking pairing and the stable's strong record in this contest, heads our figures as the one to beat.
-
Gavin Ryan 8%—No signal33/1 20/1 28/1Wootton Bassett filly out of a dam who was very useful at 8f and herself went very close on debut; jockey bookings suggest this is the stable's first string here. There is limited guide beyond breeding and market, but the dam's profile is encouraging for today's trip.
-
Luke Scott 16%Jennie Candlish 17%137/4-No signal18/1 16/1 18/1Disappointing on the Flat at Chester last time, well beaten, as he steps back over hurdles; a tongue-tie is on for the first time. Rated 10th on our figures but has shown capability at this sort of trip on any ground and can be given a chance.
- J
-
James Moffatt 13%474-92No signalSP FCST 12/1Second here in a chase last time out, beaten three lengths off this same mark, showing his best form — a versatile type capable of going well back over hurdles. Winless in his last five outings and first-time cheekpieces on today, but the course and trip suit.
-
21-513No signal10/1 7/1 10/1Five and a quarter lengths third in a Group 1 at Epsom last time, James J Braddock proved he handles this trip and remains progressive; this course is expected to suit him and there looks to be further improvement to come.
-
Ben Poste 3%/3P6-1No signal10/1 9/1 10/1Dominated his hunter chase debut at Punchestown by 11 lengths last time, showing very useful form; a lightly raced point winner now switching to hurdles for a new yard, with market support likely the key indicator. The distance suits, and this type often has more to offer than the bare figures show.
-
Brian Hughes 19%James Moffatt 13%P9P-67No signal11/1 12/1 11/1Course form from 12 months ago is genuinely appealing — he landed this race last year — and today's trip and going suit; blinkers and tongue-tie applied first time in an attempt to reverse a run of poor recent efforts. His most recent start here was well below that earlier level.
-
Jack Callan 14%Charlie Johnston 13%138344No signal40/1 28/1 40/1Had his chance at Hamilton last time but went down by 7 lengths in fourth, dipping below his prior level; Just A Gambler handles the all-weather at 8f but recent efforts have been unimpressive and he needs to find more.
- K
-
6446-6No signal18/1 11/1 16/1Tail-ender on our figures who was readily held at Warwick last time having gone forward too soon; tongue-tie and cheekpieces fitted as her mark continues to ease, and she handles this going — but she needs considerably more to get into contention here.
-
Stephen Thorne 12%-29686No signal12/1 14/1 11/1Former Group-level performer whose form has regressed in recent starts, beaten three lengths off a 3lb higher mark at Navan last time; first-time cheekpieces signal that connections are trying something different. The wide draw from stall 17 is an added obstacle, though he retains ability on any ground at 5f.
-
2P15-1No signal11/2 3/1 5/1A winner at Cartmel last time by over three lengths, Ki Woo is making steady progress over fences and stays well beyond today's trip; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are a new combination, though the mark is a step up on what he has faced in recent starts.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Gay Kelleway 12%246478No signal6/1 17/2 5/1AW form looks the key for King David, who was driven too hard in a turf handicap at Bath last time and beaten over 8 lengths; first-time tongue-tie and blinkers are fitted here, but a wide draw and a long winless run limit the appeal.
-
Tom Marquand 16%William Haggas 23%2-241No signal3/1 5/2 11/4A Kingman-bred colt who made no mistake at Wolverhampton on his latest start, dropping in class to edge a narrow win; form since has been endorsed and a debut handicap mark that appears to give him scope gives him solid prospects here, with first-time cheekpieces adding a potential extra gear on a sound surface.
-
Ryan Mania 17%Martin Todhunter 10%54-F31No signal2/1 3/1 2/1Took a handicap here last time by a neck off a mark just 1lb above today's, and his profile is clearly on an upward curve; the course, trip and going all suit and he arrives on a fractionally lower mark today. A genuine danger to the selection.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%170-12No signal7/4 11/4 31/19Won by 17 lengths two starts back before a close-up second last time on the same mark he carries today; the trainer is firing at 55% and his underlying chase form marks him out as well treated — the one to beat in this seven-runner field.
-
Harry Cobden 22%Faye Bramley 15%301-21BBoD Whisper 1 signal15/8 2/1 32/17Thriving in handicap company, landing a race at Worcester last time when ridden with confidence at a testing track; lightly raced with more improvement likely now settling into this sphere. The twin headgear additions — tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time — are the only query.
- L
-
Ben Robinson 10%Max Young 2%05-055No signal12/1 17/2 12/1Returning from 137 days off, Last Outlaw made little impact at Southwell last time and performances have slipped back in recent starts; the mark is now considerably lower, however, and he handles this surface and trip, which gives him a slim chance.
-
Ashley Lewis 14%450726No signal8/1 7/1 8/1Ran to form here last time from a mark 1lb above today’s, going down by 2 lengths; Lessay has been in better form in recent outings and handles the surface well over this trip, with first-time cheekpieces a potential aid.
-
Brian Ellison 10%—No signal40/1 FCST 28/1Making her hurdles debut with nothing directly comparable at this level; held well off the pace at Carlisle on the Flat, beaten six lengths. The trainer is out of form and she is hard to recommend without any hurdling experience under her belt.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%David Evans 13%223352No signal15/8 7/4 32/17Top-rated here, drawing clear with the runner-up at Ffos Las last time before going down by a length and a half off his current mark; suited to five furlongs on any surface with a top course jockey aboard and first-time blinkers potentially sharpening the effort. The one to beat.
-
Orla Tynan 12%Jack Foley 11%31-968No signal40/1 28/1 33/1Beaten 5¼l in a handicap here just two days ago and ranked last of the 18 on our figures; stamina is a concern as she steps up in trip, best at 7f, and the combination of a quick turnaround and longer distance makes a compelling case difficult to construct.
-
Mickey Bowen 16%UP0-46No signal11/1 6/1 9/1Beaten well at Perth last time when failing to stay the distance; drops back to his preferred shorter range now with first-time blinkers and carries a mark below his best — the trainer is in good nick but he is yet to win in recent starts.
-
Jonathon Bewley 12%George Bewley 11%4PP-3PNo signal18/1 14/1 18/1Third at this trip and going when things went right in his last five starts, but also pulled up on three occasions; he has a history of not applying himself fully and that unreliability makes him difficult to trust. Winless in his last five and ranked mid-field on our figures.
-
Colin Keane 16%M J Byrne 8%-62242No signal15/2 12/1 13/2Placed in a Listed sprint at Cork last time, beaten just half a length; the strongest form of her career in recent outings and she handles a range of going from heavy to good. A poor overall strike rate is the one concern, but she arrives on the back of a very solid display.
-
56-421No signal33/1 16/1 25/1Broke through in a maiden at Naas most recently, benefiting from a positive front-running ride on a reduced trip; returning just four days later with a first-time tongue-tie, effective at 7-10f with some give underfoot, though stepping up in distance here and the official rating does ask more on handicap debut.
-
Paul W Flynn 9%41-393No signal28/1 25/1 28/1Placed a close third in an auction race at Fairyhouse last time, beaten just ½l in her most recent effort; in decent form over 5-6f on a sound surface, conditions well aligned today, though this step up in class is a tougher ask and another gear forward is required.
-
Ben Coen 11%J. P. Murtagh 11%8No signal125/1 50/1 80/1Well beaten on debut at Leopardstown, failing to make any impression and clearly showing inexperience throughout; she has speed on the sire's side and some stamina through the dam. Ranked last of 13 on our figures, she has plenty to demonstrate before being taken seriously here.
-
Colin Keane 16%G. M. Lyons 16%3BBoD Whisper 1 signal15/8 11/4 32/17Finished with a strong late run on debut at Naas, third beaten 2½ lengths after a slow start; she should have learnt considerably from that outing and is likely to improve. Acts on good ground and rates a serious danger if her stamina over today's trip is confirmed.
-
Joseph G Murphy 11%9-8636No signal11/1 14/1 11/1Suited by today's trip and ground, Lord Massusus was too keen when well beaten in a Listed contest last time but could respond positively in this lesser grade; he has been out of form in recent starts and his mark looks stiff, though earlier evidence suggests he can be competitive when settling properly.

-
Joe Leavy 11%Richard Hannon 12%0-5311No signal14/1 9/2 14/1Landed a handicap by a neck at Southwell last time off a mark 3lb below today’s, Magician Of Riga has two wins in recent starts and remains well treated overall; a longer trip than today’s would suit better but he handles the all-weather and comes off a short break.
-
Max Young 2%4078-0No signal40/1 40/1 33/1First-time blinkers are fitted as he returns from an unsuccessful hurdles foray at Ludlow, where he appeared to find the trip a struggle; suited by two miles on the AW and the switch back to this surface should help, though current form gives cause for caution regardless of the headgear.
-
Luke McAteer 8%David Marnane 10%61-32No signal7/2 9/2 10/3Went close on handicap debut at Navan last time, beaten by just half a length off a 4lb lower mark while moving smoothly through the race; bred for middle distances and 9f should suit, though 43 days since his last run and draw 5 both ask for a clean passage.
-
Shane Foley 11%37-126No signal8/1 9/1 7/1Maiden winner who looked in good shape before stepping into Group company, Marazion was beaten six lengths in a Group 3 at Cork last time and returns to handicaps on what looks a fair mark; proven at today's trip on soft and good ground.

Cieren Fallon 18%121870No signal14/1 20/1 12/1Master Dandy has won twice in recent starts with his best form on the all-weather at shorter trips; he went well below that level on turf at Thirsk last time, but runs off his last winning mark in first-time tongue-tie and blinkers.
-
Leah Noreci 7%James Moffatt 13%5676-2No signal7/2 3/1 7/2Showed up well on handicap debut at this course and distance last time, going down by just 2 lengths off a mark 2lb lower than today's; effective over 2m6f on this ground and must step forward from that promising first handicap start.
-
05949No signal25/1 25/1 22/1Beaten out of the places at Windsor last time where stamina again appeared the issue — a recurring concern given her record — and she has been thoroughly inconsistent in recent outings; effective at a mile on the AW, she needs things to fall her way. Hard to fancy.
-
Tom Midgley 10%Mark Walford 11%3P2-37No signal28/1 33/1 25/1Well beaten at Hexham last time, a step back from her earlier placed efforts; she acts over a longer trip on good ground, so the shorter distance today may not be ideal. A hood is applied for the first time; winless in her last five and hard to make a case for.
-
Ciaran O'Shea(3) 23%Harry Fry 17%6P-1U1No signal5/1 FCST 9/2Coasted home by 11 lengths at Newton Abbot last time, clearly flourishing with the step up in trip; retains a fair mark on her best form even after the rise, and first-time tongue-tie is the only change. Bigger fields may test her consistency.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Gay Kelleway 12%0-7367No signal80/1 33/1 50/1First-time blinkers are applied after she appeared to find this trip a stretch here last time, beaten over eight lengths; effective at six to eight furlongs on the surface and the headgear change adds a spark, though stamina questions remain. Form has been patchy but worth monitoring.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Gordon Elliott 18%4P/P56No signal16/1 10/1 16/1Winless in her last five starts and twice pulled up in that run, she needs to show a sharp upturn here. Last time out she was comfortably held, possibly finding the ground on the quick side; she acts with cut and today's conditions look more agreeable.
-
James Davies 8%Gary Hanmer 12%25-184No signal33/1 22/1 33/1Front-running mare who was overhauled well beaten off 124 last time having gone too hard too soon; drops 2lb here and is effective at this distance on sound ground, but a degree of caution is needed given that recent effort.
-
Finley Marsh 14%22No signal11/4Twice placed in maidens with her Newbury second last time — beaten a length — representing solid form that has been backed up by subsequent results; a wind operation before her debut has clearly not hampered her. Effective at six furlongs on fast ground, she holds the best claims in this field.
-
Jonathan Burke 15%Richard Hobson 17%2-62No signal9/1 6/1 9/1Solid in bumpers, finishing second at Southwell last time, and the switch to hurdling should unlock further progress from a lightly raced gelding; the going is established. The trip looks an open question given bumper form over shorter, and first-time tongue-tie is added today.
-
Chris Hayes 10%5450-9No signal17/2 10/1 15/2Double headgear change today — first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces — but Moltophino was too prominent at this track last time, setting it up for rivals and beaten three lengths off a mark just 1lb higher. Generally consistent; hard to fancy against this field on our figures.
-
2-1121No signal18/1 12/1 14/1In fine form across recent starts, landing a handicap at Limerick last time by half a length having needed to call on all his reserves over 7-8f; could produce another solid run, though our figures rank him 13 of 18 here and the step up in class is a notable ask.
-
Kielan Woods 14%Nick Scholfield 14%13-414No signalSP 6/1 7/1Generally progressive and capable of winning by wide margins at his best, Morning Mayhem was not seen to best advantage when stepped up in trip last time; back at 2m on good ground is more suitable, though he carries 1lb more than when fourth last time and ranks lowest on our figures here.
-
James Bowen 20%Mickey Bowen 16%0-223PNo signal11/1 15/2 10/1Front-running style suits this trip and surface, and the mark remains achievable on earlier form, but she pulled up at Cartmel last time; twin headgear changes — first-time blinkers and tongue-tie — signal connections trying a new approach, and she needs to rediscover recent consistency.
-
Jonathan Burke 15%James Owen 18%942-15No signal18/1 10/1 18/1Twin headgear changes — tongue-tie and visor for the first time — reflect connections seeking an answer, as he went too hard in front at Cartmel last time and faded; remains consistent over the trip and going, though the handicapper has a firm grip on his ceiling.
-
893491No signalSP 8/1 14/1Won over course and distance last time by three-quarters of a length, digging deep to last home; Mythical Isle can blow hot and cold but is still lightly campaigned at 7f on the all-weather and must back up that display in handicap company.

Mr O McGill 17%1692-1No signal15/8 11/4 7/4Performing with confidence under both codes in recent starts — landed a handicap at Downpatrick last time by four and a quarter lengths, stepping up in trip on a mark 14lb below today's. Significantly higher in the weights now and wearing a tongue-tie for the first time, but the confidence is there.
-
Tom Cannon 18%Chris Gordon 13%2438-2No signal13/2 10/1 6/1Consistently placed across both codes and shapes as a genuine each-way threat, having finished just over 2 lengths adrift at Salisbury last time off a 32lb lower mark; without a win in recent starts and the yard is out of form, but the profile warrants respect.

W. J. Lee 16%W. McCreery 9%128-35No signal10/1 15/2 9/1Progressive on the Flat and suited by today's trip, Navy Waters returns from a hurdles debut at Punchestown where she ran respectably; she has flat form to suggest she can be competitive but sits towards the lower end of our figures and faces an uphill task.
-
Oakley Brown 15%Adrian Keatley 15%81P-11BBoD Whisper 1 signal5/4Three wins in his last five starts, going boldly at the front and landing a handicap last time by five lengths; today's ground should suit, but the revised mark represents a significant hike from his winning base and dual headgear applied for the first time suggests connections have questions at the current level.
-
30-No signal40/1 28/1 40/1Lightly raced but rated last of the five on our figures, with a well-beaten effort at Hereford in a bumper most recently; a 215-day absence adds uncertainty, and the switch to hurdling over a longer trip should help in theory. This class is a considerable ask at this stage.

Conor Ring 7%44-123No signal16/1 9/1 14/1Third last time off a mark 1lb higher than today, and generally in decent recent form; won well at Hereford three starts back off a more lenient figure, but this longer trip looks a stretch. Our figures place him near the foot of this field.
-
4-3121No signal7/2 10/3 7/2Two wins in recent starts including a handicap at Gowran Park last time off a 9lb lower mark, Obscenity has been progressing steadily and tries a first-time visor here; effective at today's trip, he may have a little more in hand though he steps up in mark.
-
1P05P-No signal6/1 13/2 6/1Fresh after an 88-day absence and well within range of today's trip — the extended 3m at Southwell last time found him out; first-time cheekpieces add a stimulus. A sequence of below-par efforts asks questions, though a more suitable distance gives grounds for optimism.
-
Shane Foley 11%K J Condon 11%151328No signal12/1 8/1 12/1A progressive filly until her most recent outing at Cork, when she was well beaten without any clear explanation; prior to that she was thriving over 5-6f on a variety of surfaces, and first-time hood applied now as she looks to bounce back from a flat effort.
-
Luke McAteer 8%—No signal125/1 40/1 80/1A 38,000 euros State Of Rest filly and a half-sister to Devoirs Choice, very useful at 8f; her dam was effective at 6f as a juvenile and successful over 12f, giving a wide stamina range. The rivals here set a strong standard and she rates one to watch carefully.
-
Scott Dixon 7%242523No signal7/2 3/1 7/2Running to form at Chepstow last time where he went down by only 1½ lengths off this mark, On Key has been consistently involved; yet to score, but he handles this surface well and the inside draw is no drawback.

A. J. Martin 7%80-007No signal33/1 22/1 33/1Beaten three and a half lengths off a higher mark at Limerick last time, Orandi is back for the first time in over two months wearing a first-time tongue-tie; best around today's trip but from a wide draw with a patchy recent record, he is difficult to trust for a bold showing.
-
Dianne Sayer 15%S344-1No signal28/1 16/1 28/1Stepped forward to land a maiden point at Ballindenisk by five and a half lengths, bringing some ability from that sphere into rules racing; effective at three miles in points. This is a shorter trip and hurdles are new territory but the potential is there.

Seamus Mullins 11%343-51No signal8/1 9/2 8/1Won here 34 days ago, taking a handicap by ¾ length off a mark 8lb lower than she carries today; young enough to have more to offer and her consistent profile makes her the one to beat, though she carries an 8lb penalty.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%Jennie Candlish 17%—No signal14/1 7/1 11/1A mare who landed a bumper earlier but struggled in a Grade 2 mares' NH Flat race last time out, though that was a stiff assignment; effective at two miles on good ground and usually held up, she can translate bumper form to the Flat. Off a short break but one of the main threats.
-
F00-33No signal10/1 14/1 9/1Back in form with consecutive thirds in his last two starts, Peaky Boy handles any ground and the 2.5-3m range suits him well; first-time headgear may sharpen his response, but he remains winless in his recent runs and the current mark is a steep ask.
-
William Pyle 9%David Loughnane 12%133035No signal5/1Hampered by interference last time here, Pearly Squirrel found the pace flagging late on and was beaten 3¼ lengths off 1lb above today’s mark; the trip back down is welcomed and she handles any surface, so that excused effort is worth bearing in mind.
-
914315No signal8/1 8/1 15/2Won here by a nose two starts back before flattening out badly over a longer trip last time, Perry Mason drops back to a more suitable distance today; from a wide draw carrying the same high mark, he will need things to fall right to get competitive.
-
W. M. Lordan 16%Aidan O'Brien 22%11-727No signal10/1 12/1 9/1Well beaten in a Group 1 at Epsom last time and yet to fulfil his potential consistently, Pierre Bonnard has the backing of a trainer who knows this race well; he stays the trip and acts on any going, and remains capable of better on his day.
-
216-6No signal40/1 18/1 40/1Well beaten at Limerick last time when failing to land a blow, Pierre Royal remains on a mark worth another look given his breeding; effective at today's trip on suitable ground and lightly raced enough to improve on that effort.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%John James Feane 10%31-802No signal12/1 7/1 12/1Back to his best at Leopardstown last time when edged out narrowly late off a lower mark, Playin Cool is on a fair mark and effective at the trip; today's quicker ground is the main query, having shown his best form with more cut underfoot.
-
Jonathon Bewley 12%George Bewley 11%PP-P35No signal10/1 15/2 10/1Tongue-tie and visor fitted after pulling free and over-racing at this course last time, ultimately beaten 8 lengths; the mark is considered fair and he stays well in testing conditions — settling better with the new gear could bring improvement, yet to win in recent starts.

Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%533-12WHTW Whisper 1 signal11/8 3/2 6/5Won here by three lengths two starts back and followed up with a solid second last time off the same mark he carries today; in fair form with a trainer at 36% and dual headgear applied for the first time — well within his compass at 2.5m and a genuine threat.
-
Connor Planas 11%Phil McEntee 11%530454No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Consistent enough at a modest level, Porfin was never able to get into contention at Bath last time and finished fourth beaten 4 lengths; first-time cheekpieces are added and he handles any surface over this trip, though he remains winless in recent outings.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Mickey Bowen 16%1P50-3No signal13/2 8/1 6/1Kept on for third at this course last time, 6 lengths off the winner despite struggling to land a blow from his position; tongue-tie fitted for this return, works well over this ground and trip, and the mark remains workable — inconsistency for the new yard is the main caveat.
-
424-1No signal11/2 10/3 11/2Landed her handicap debut here by four lengths with something to spare last time, Pretty Omagh Girl looks capable of absorbing the 10lb rise with more progress to come; effective at today's trip and continuing to improve, she is a serious danger.
-
R. P. Cleary 6%—No signal80/1 FCST 50/1A modestly bred debutante by Gregorian out of an unraced dam, from a stable with a strong reputation in point-to-point circles; this is unfamiliar territory for that yard and there is little to go on beyond pedigree. One to observe rather than support without market backing.

Jack Callan 14%Mark Usher 10%-75795No signal10/1 14/1 8/1Kept to his modest level at Lingfield last time, beaten over six lengths in a classified race, with the form suggesting others here hold stronger claims; effective over seven to ten furlongs but today's sixteen furlongs looks a significant stamina test. A first-time tongue-tie changes little on these figures.

James Bowen 20%Mickey Bowen 16%526-12No signal11/4 7/2 11/4Second by a neck last time off his current mark, Queensbury Boy ranks equal-top on our figures on the back of strong hurdle form; today's 3m tests his stamina limits and jumping over fences has been inconsistent — the main reservation, alongside the first-time tongue-tie.

-
Sean Quinlan 15%P8-23PNo signal50/1 50/1 40/1After a pair of placed hurdles efforts earlier this term, she was pulled up at Hexham most recently; winless in her last five starts but considered a type to improve once eligible for handicaps. Effective at two miles and could still develop.

-
9PV8-8No signal150/1 FCST 125/1Reluctant at the start when well beaten at this track last time, a pattern that has characterised recent runs in maidens; without a win in her last five and hard to fancy on current form. First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces both applied but consistency has been elusive.
-
0328-6No signal14/1 14/1 12/1Holds a fair mark judged on Irish form and sits 4th on our ratings, but his last run here was a let-down despite being well-positioned — comfortably held when the race was there for the taking. First-time tongue-tie and visor are the response; inconsistency remains the key risk.

James Ryan 7%Paul W Flynn 9%144-11No signal12/1 6/1 12/1On a hot streak with three wins in recent starts, The Real Screamer landed a handicap by four lengths at Leopardstown last time off a lower mark and continues to progress; now at a career-high official mark, the question is whether that momentum can be maintained.
-
A. Slattery 11%66/124No signal16/1 10/1 16/1Won here comfortably three starts back and unlucky at his penultimate start, Red Charlie performed to expectation last time when stepped up in trip; a first-time tongue-tie from a wide draw, he is ideally suited by a sharper test at 7f but handles the mile and remains of interest.
-
1721-4No signal9/1 10/1 17/2Fourth on his comeback run at Dundalk, beaten 4½ lengths and not at his best returning from a break; his mark has eased in recent starts and he handles a sound surface at 5-6f. Improvement on that reappearance effort looks a fair expectation as fitness levels improve.

Gavin Sheehan 22%Jamie Snowden 26%/352-2No signal10/1 11/1 10/1Finishing well from the rear at Aintree last time, beaten three lengths, Regarde handles 3m+ on good ground and connections landed this prize last year; blinkers first time may help, but without a win in his last four starts he remains an outsider on our figures.

Murtagh 11%8410-6No signal16/1 11/1 16/1Faded late when beaten four lengths here last time after a break, Retracement is on a mark that looks about right; a trainer in form is a positive and today's ground suits, but he ranks towards the lower end of our figures and has more to prove.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%901-21No signal4/1 11/4 4/1Two wins in his last three starts, including a narrow victory last time under a patient ride that confirmed he stays 2m7f; with the trainer in excellent form and a first-time tongue-tie applied, he is a serious danger here — though the revised mark may be at the ceiling of his ability.

Harry Davies 13%James Owen 18%5No signal40/1 28/1 33/1Debut at Yarmouth yielded a fifth, beaten over eight lengths in a novice, leaving plenty to find here; the 6-7f pedigree suggests today's trip may be on the sharp side. Hard to get excited about on current evidence.
-
Mickey Bowen 16%734-42No signal7/2 5/1 10/3Point winner yet to win under rules, and the switch back to hurdles adds uncertainty; was beaten only 2 lengths here two days ago in new headgear, and tongue-tie is added now — the quick turnaround is the main question at this level.

Lewis Edmunds 12%Jack Jones 12%6-8No signal28/1 18/1 25/1Sprint-bred filly who looked inexperienced and appeared to find six furlongs beyond her at Leicester last time, beaten over eight lengths in a maiden; there is a suggestion the trip may now suit at three, though plenty remains to prove given the modest figures.
-
Wesley Joyce 6%045-6No signal80/1 50/1 66/1Racing too keenly at Leopardstown last time, he emptied quickly and was well held; winless in recent starts and the tendency to overrace over this sort of trip makes it hard to see a reversal here, leaving him vulnerable in a competitive field.

Tom Marquand 16%24-143No signal66/1 66/1 50/1Third in a Group 3 here last time, running his race without quite reaching the front rank, Shaihaan sits at the foot of our figures in this company; effective at 8-10f on a variety of going, he may need the principals to underperform to feature.

One of the main dangers.
-
Mr D McGill 10%585P-7No signal16/1 14/1 11/1Winless in his last five and ranked 9th of 10 on our figures, his recent handicap form has been modest — a well-beaten effort at Downpatrick last time where he was pressed too hard too soon.

Harry Cobden 22%Faye Bramley 15%804-54No signal5/1 4/1 5/1New connections could unlock better from Sony Bill, below his best on chase debut after a string of fencing errors at Ballinrobe — fading in the closing stages; a useful hurdler who thrives when the ground yields, he has the ability to progress over the bigger obstacles, though the mark is stiff enough.
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%550-58No signal80/1 50/1 80/1Struggling on deep ground when well beaten in a Group 3 at this track last time; better suited by a sounder surface and returning from a short break. Effective at 8-10f on good ground, she needs to recapture earlier form and a response is required after that disappointing display.
-
Jack Callan 14%John Butler 13%745412No signal7/2 FCST 10/3Went close last time, beaten just half a length on a mark 1lb below today’s; previously landed a race at this track off a lower mark and he handles the surface well, but Split Elevens sits low on our figures despite the respectable recent run.
-
W. J. Lee 16%W. McCreery 9%5-3215No signal25/1 18/1 22/1Landed a narrow success at this track earlier in the season off a mark 5lb lower, hitting the front by a short-head; ran fifth last time on quicker ground off this same mark and would ideally want some cut. Consistent profile, but the official rating may be stretching him today.
-
-65042No signal11/1 18/1 9/1Back in form at Carlisle last time when beaten just over two lengths off a slightly lower mark, Star Harbour is a capable veteran who handles today's going and distance; a first-time visor could help him focus and he merits respect despite a mixed recent strike rate.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Mickey Bowen 16%0P/2-2No signal8/1 FCST 7/1Second in a handicap hurdle last time, settling for the scraps before keeping on to go under by 10 lengths; back chasing now with first-time blinkers after 54 days away. Winless in his last four starts and has more to prove over fences, though the trip and going suit.
-
Adam Caffrey 9%Noel Meade 11%315-9No signal40/1 25/1 33/1Off the back of a below-par handicap debut here, where she was beaten 7¼l over this trip, there are stamina questions to answer at 9f; suited by 6-7f and preferring cut underfoot, the conditions are not ideally aligned and she faces a significant challenge stepping back up.
-
Colin Keane 16%W T Farrell 9%36550-No signal11/2 7/1 11/2Absent for almost eight months and expected to benefit from this run, State Actor trailed home well down the field here on his last start but remains effective at today's trip on any ground; a mark with scope could make him competitive once he regains full fitness.
-
Hector Crouch 18%Ralph Beckett 19%23-37SSteamer Whisper 1 signal7/1 10/1 6/1Struggling to match the pace on his handicap debut at Newbury last time, The Stone Power was beaten 5¼ lengths and may simply have needed the run; he rates second on our figures and the extra distance on the all-weather should suit better.

-
Chris Dwyer 14%-92685No signal7/2 5/2 3/1A step up at Lingfield last time when the headgear sparked him, beaten 2¼ lengths off a mark 3lb higher; back on a lower mark now with first-time cheekpieces applied and fast AW going that suits. Inconsistent of late but holds a live chance here.
-
J M Sheridan 11%10-469No signal20/1 33/1 16/1Juvenile form was notably strong, and this return to handicap company after being well beaten in a Listed contest at Navan last time looks a better opportunity; bred and apparently built for 10f, acts on soft and good, and the first-time visor adds another dimension on his handicap debut.
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Ben Pauling 17%412-72No signalSP FCST 9/2Clearly in good order, finishing 4 lengths second at Fontwell last time in a race run over a shorter trip than his best; stepping back up in distance today with the going to suit, and the current mark still generous on his best efforts. First-time tongue-tie is the only addition.
-
Luke Morris 12%3327-8No signal9/1 8/1 9/1Consistent on the all-weather before her latest run, Sunlit Sea was beaten 8½ lengths at Carlisle in headgear that clearly did not suit; first-time cheekpieces are tried here, she draws from stall 1, and she tops our figures in this field.
-
Edward Greatrex 14%Jack Channon 14%3944-0No signal18/1 5/1 14/1A flat Windsor run last time wants forgetting, but she handles AW conditions well over seven to nine furlongs and this looks less demanding than recent assignments; the trainer's poor current spell is the main concern. She has the ability to get involved if back near her best.
-
Joe Anderson(3) 14%4U27-PNo signal66/1 28/1 50/1Bottom of our ratings in this field, with a recent pull-up in a point and still needing to demonstrate his worth under rules; effective over two to two-and-a-half miles, and first-time hood is a gear change. Hard to make a convincing case here.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Tom Clover 17%—No signal11/1A Lope Y Fernandez filly who is a half-sister to 1m2f performer Marama; bred to find her range around a mile-plus and attracted a solid yearling price. Worth a look at market interest before the off — the pedigree is more encouraging than debut unknowns might suggest.

G. F. Carroll 10%Joseph G Murphy 11%10-523No signal6/1Progressive filly who finished strongly to be a close third in a Group 3 at Naas last time, the run hinting that 7f would suit even better; effective on good ground and with cut in it, she handles these conditions and arrives as our top-rated runner with a combination of form and upside.
-
James Bowen 20%Mickey Bowen 16%2323-1No signal6/5 10/11 11/10Won by 16 lengths on chase debut at Stratford last time off a mark 8lb lower than today's; with his fencing career still in its early stages and suited by 2.5m on good ground, he arrives as the most unexposed runner here and rates the chief danger to the top-rated horse.
-
Luke McAteer 8%Patrick T Foley 10%12-901No signal11/1 7/1 11/1Showed real determination to prevail by a short-head at Fairyhouse most recently, displaying a willing attitude under pressure; effective at 6f on yielding and good ground, and the new combination of tongue-tie and visor could help reproduce that effort, though he has been inconsistent this season and draws wide in stall 8.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%48-58No signal200/1 28/1 200/1Making a well-beaten handicap debut in France last time, Taradif comes here with a 129-day gap since last running and must prove his form translates to British conditions; first-time tongue-tie is fitted but he sits at the foot of our rankings and the mark looks stiff.
-
Myla Coppins 17%Tony Carroll 13%023480No signal20/1 20/1 18/1Off the back of a flat display in a higher-grade event here, Teardrops must come back to form at a more suitable level; the trainer knows this track well, though the wide draw and a winless recent run limit confidence.
-
Chris Hayes 10%21558-No signal66/1Absent for nearly a year and returning here after a tough outing at Group level on her previous start, well beaten; the cheekpieces are new and she usually holds her position until late, which may not suit a quick 6f — significant improvement needed from a mare who hasn't been seen since last summer.
-
Scott Dixon 7%00-086No signal20/1 12/1 20/1Beaten 6 lengths at Brighton last time, Thanks Dad arrives without a win in recent outings and with a cold trainer record; first-time tongue-tie and visor are fitted but he is ranked last on our figures and needs a significant step forward.
-
Colin Keane 16%Emmet Mullins 14%/6550-No signal28/1 22/1 28/1Consistent performer effective at today's trip, This Songisforyou has a top rider back on board after fading quickly following a series of errors in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time; his mark looks about right and he faces a stiff task.
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%8-7473No signalSP FCST 100/1Wore blinkers most recently at Gowran Park and raced far too freely, a pattern that contributed to a 7½l third and confirmed the tendency to run below his best this season; effective at 8-10f and today's fast ground suits his action, but winless in recent starts and with much to establish here.
-
Bryan Carver 13%Chris Honour 18%132-13No signal40/1 20/1 33/1A front-runner who won at Fakenham two starts back, Time To Bite has been thriving, but he was outstayed last time when used too aggressively; first-time blinkers aim to address that tendency, though our figures rank him last of the 13 runners.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%9-7031No signal3/1 3/1 11/4Back to his very best at Doncaster last time, showing a fine turn of foot from the front to land a handicap by 3½ lengths off a mark 11lb lower; ideally suited by 5f and fast ground. The rise in class and weights are factors, but he rates the clear form pick.
-
Luke McAteer 8%David Marnane 10%21-342No signal10/3 7/2 10/3Second in a Listed contest at Leopardstown last time, beaten just 1¼ lengths; progressive on his profile and versatile over 7-9f on any going. Stepping into this grade from handicaps brings some uncertainty, but he has proved himself capable at Listed level and is genuinely unexposed here.
-
Jonny Peate 9%Gary Hanmer 12%5-7462No signal11/2 7/2 11/2Back to form over a shorter trip here last time, Trust Sergei went down by just 1¼ lengths off the same mark; he can be inconsistent and comes off a short break, but his record at this course makes him a genuine threat.
-
J M Sheridan 11%76-721No signal17/2 10/1 8/1Dropped down to a Conditions race at Gowran Park last time and produced his best effort of the season, asserting by 1½l against lesser opposition; landed this contest last year and has a strong overall record at the Curragh, effective at 10-12f on any ground — back in form and drawn low in stall 1.
-
M C Grassick 9%5941-1No signal8/1 8/1 15/2Won back-to-back in recent starts including a narrow success at Leopardstown last time after being forced to switch, Truth Be Told is still relatively unexposed at middle distances and has more to come; he sits at the foot of our figures and steps up in competition here.
-
Beau Morgan(5) 17%Ben Pauling 17%1170-3No signal14/1 14/1 12/1Two wins earlier in his recent sequence underline his ability when conditions suit, and today's 3m on good ground is right in his range; first-time cheekpieces could sharpen him up after a well-beaten effort at Bangor last time, though the mark may prove a tough ask.

Hector Crouch 18%Ralph Beckett 19%33No signal9/2 3/1 4/1Consistent third at Leicester last time, beaten four and a half lengths in a novice, where she raced freely early and flattened out late, but still ran to her mark; sprint-bred and handles six furlongs well on a sound surface, with further progress on the cards. A legitimate danger.

James Bowen 20%Mickey Bowen 16%110-32No signal5/2 11/4 9/4Dual bumper winner who found his range when stretched in trip at Southwell last time, finishing a solid 7-length second in a maiden hurdle; tops our ratings and likely to improve further with experience, the trip and sound going squarely in his favour.
-
Robson De Aguiar 12%126-50No signal50/1 40/1 50/1Off a 90-day break and carrying a still-stiff mark, What's Your Game was taken too far forward over an extended trip at Navan on his return and failed to see it out; effective up to 13f on a variety of surfaces but needs a more patient ride here.
-
Georgia Dobie 10%-63650No signal8/1Back on the all-weather having struggled on turf at Catterick last time, White Umbrella arrives in first-time cheekpieces after 48 days off; she handles the surface and has placed in similar company before, but form has been inconsistent lately.

Brian Ellison 10%1216P-No signal28/1 16/1 25/1Off the track for 143 days after being pulled up at Doncaster; first-time cheekpieces as he returns to competition. His two recent wins came over different codes and the trip and going suit, but the current chase mark asks more after a lengthy absence and the form requires updating.

Dylan Cunha 13%-04112BBoD Whisper 1 signal3/1 5/1 11/4Won back-to-back before going close last time beaten a neck off a lower mark, Zarathos is in excellent form and ideally suited by fast ground here; operating off a 5lb higher mark now but continuing to progress, he is very much the one to beat.

Brian Hughes 19%Faye Bramley 15%10F00-No signal22/1 12/1 22/1Tail-ender on our figures after finishing well beaten when stepped up in class in a Listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse on his last outing; the class drop helps and he acts with cut over this trip, but a significant turnaround is required from that effort.
