-
Ben Jones 17%Emma Lavelle 18%P22-11WHTW Whisper 1 signal5/4Consecutive victories have her building momentum, handling this trip and ground effectively; her latest success was authoritative — 12 lengths clear off a mark 11lb lower — and now chasing a treble, the form reads well for her chances here.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Andrew Balding 18%10-160No signal11/4Clearly our top-rated runner, A Taste Of Glory found his previous start — a top-level 12f event — beyond him and has struggled in his two most recent outings; dropping back to a more suitable 10f at this accessible level, his earlier handicap success came off a 4lb lower mark and a top jockey takes the ride, combining to make a strong case.
-
Sheena West 12%243P-4No signal12/1Generally consistent over hurdles and effective at today's 2m trip on a sound surface, she is a solid contender on our ratings despite being yet to score in recent starts; she tired over a more testing distance at Fontwell last time, so this shorter trip could play to her strengths.
-
Archie Watson 15%1BBoD Whisper 1 signal3/1 3/1 9/4Green under pressure but still got the job done by three-quarters of a length on debut at Leicester, and there is clear scope for improvement as he learns the ropes; acts over this trip and should take a notable step forward — the trainer's recent record is the one reservation.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%David Evans 13%2No signal4/1 10/3 4/1Plenty of ability on display when runner-up at Chepstow on her only start 14 days ago, beaten 7l in a novice; there is more to come and a top jockey boosts appeal here — she handles this trip and is entitled to go well.
-
Ismail Mohammed 12%—No signal10/1 10/1 17/2A Havana Grey colt out of the useful sprinting dam Aquarius, Adeel is bred to handle six furlongs well; purchased for 70,000 guineas, he carries pedigree credentials that point toward early ability, though on debut the market will be the clearest guide to what is expected.
-
Jonny Peate 9%Jack Morland 10%35No signal50/1 25/1 50/1Held at his debut level when beaten comfortably in a maiden at Pontefract 38 days ago; lightly raced at 6f and effective on a range of surfaces, he looks a type that could do better once in handicap company rather than at this level.
-
Ian Williams 11%8/8-78No signal40/1 28/1 33/1Four straight defeats — all well adrift of the leaders — including a distant effort at Pontefract last time, African Spirit wears cheekpieces for the first time but is winless in his last four outings and ranked tenth of thirteen on our figures; with the trainer also short of form, it is hard to see improvement here.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Mike Murphy 12%171441No signal10/3 5/2 10/3Won his last start, getting up to land a narrow handicap at Brighton by a neck off a 2lb lower mark, Aim For The Bull is in solid form and effective over trips from 7f to 1m on fast ground; first-time cheekpieces are added and, in fair form overall, he must be taken seriously from the inside berth.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Mike Murphy 12%488148No signal14/1 FCST 12/1Akabusi wears a tongue-tie and blinkers together for the first time and is 2lb lower than when struggling from the rear last time; he has winning form at 6f on a sound surface and the headgear combination with a lower mark provides a reasonable basis for a step forward.
-
Robert Dunne 8%Tony Carroll 13%9-476No signal11/1 9/1 10/1Sixth on handicap debut at Worcester last time without threatening, he steps up in trip today which could play to his strengths — effective at 2m on good ground, and tongue-tie applied for the first time; yet to score but this longer test may bring improvement.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%A. McCann 8%—No signal11/8 7/4 18/13Landed his only start, taking a 4yo bumper at Down Royal by 5½ lengths, and brings that background to the Flat here; he acts on a sound surface over stamina trips and could make an immediate impact if that form carries over.
-
P. J. McDonald 14%David Evans 13%-41234No signal7/1Well below her best when a distant fourth last time, beaten 13 lengths off a mark just 1lb above today, and a significant improvement in form is needed; a trainer in good shape and a drop to a lower weight are mild positives for a filly effective over today's trip on fast ground.
-
Gina Mangan 11%227-39No signal7/2 9/2 3/1Solid earlier in the season with a pair of placed efforts, this gelding steps out without headgear 42 days on from a below-par Windsor run; our top-rated runner on a trip and going he handles, with the yard in fine form currently.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Rod Millman 13%320357No signal9/2 4/1 9/2Cheekpieces applied for the first time, and while Amazonian Dream was well held here 14 days ago off a 2lb higher mark, he handles this trip and any going, and our top rating in the field gives him a clear edge; a top local jockey is a notable plus as he bids to go one better.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%James Fanshawe 18%—BBoD Whisper 1 signal7/2 4/1 7/2By top-class sprinter Harry Angel and a half-sister to the very smart Firmament, with her dam Heaven Sent a top-class middle-distance performer, so there is plenty of quality and versatility in the pedigree; 7f looks within range and the market is worth monitoring for her debut.
-
Cian Horgan 5%Peter Winks 9%685711No signal10/3 9/4 10/3Landed back-to-back handicaps at Beverley, including over this course and distance, and clearly thrives on a sound surface; a 3lb rise looks within range for a mare in this form from a handy draw in stall 4.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Mike Murphy 12%2333-9No signal18/1 16/1 18/1Finished well down the field on his last outing after a quiet comeback, Antiphon had shown solid form in three starts prior to that run and wears a tongue-tie for the first time today; effective at 5f, a return to his earlier level would make him a real danger, though he is yet to get off the mark in his last five starts.
-
7339U4No signal9/1 9/1 8/1Back just four days after finishing fourth at Hamilton, where he was held behind a front-running winner throughout; an exposed maiden without a win in his last six starts, and both tongue-tie and cheekpieces are fitted for the first time as a shake-up, though he needs to show significantly more.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%William Knight 14%5-3372No signal13/2 9/2 6/1Placed second at Bath 24 days ago off his current mark with something like his best form on show, Apex Star tops our ratings and will have a top jockey's assistance; he is suited by a bit further than today's 5f but has course experience at this distance and holds clear claims as our pick.
-
Ashley Lewis 14%Ed Walker 16%34-076No signal11/2 FCST 9/2Beaten 6½ lengths at Epsom last time in form that matched his recent level, Arctic Thunder handles 6-8 furlongs on a sound surface and there are signs he may be building toward something this season; the wide draw from stall 13 is an added complication to factor in.
-
—SSteamer Whisper 1 signal14/1 14/1 12/1A Palace Pier gelding on debut; his dam was very smart over 10f and he is a half-brother to Motazzen, useful from 10-12f, so stamina looks the strong suit rather than speed — he is likely to benefit considerably from this initial run.
-
George Bass 12%Mark Usher 10%—No signal22/1 11/1 20/1A 27,000gns Cracksman colt whose half-brother Titainium was fair over a mile and a quarter; the stable is not prolific with first-time starters, so he is best treated with caution on debut and the market will tell more.
-
David Simcock 14%926-64No signal15/2 7/1 13/2Freshened up after 152 days away, Assail put in a creditable effort at this track last time when performing to expectations in higher-grade company over a trip that suits on a sound surface; he may need this run to reach his peak but is generally consistent and poses a solid threat.
-
Hughie Morrison 12%8-07No signal9/2 3/1 7/2A big, strong colt from a middle-distance family who has yet to score in his last three starts, but the step up to 12f in handicap company could be the key change; his trainer is in fine form and there is scope for the real ability to surface over this longer trip.
- B
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Horton 11%—No signal22/1 18/1 22/1A 20,000gns St Mark's Basilica colt whose dam was successful over 10f in France on her second start; there is a staying pedigree here that could suit this trip in time, but with no previous form the market will be the best guide to his chance on debut.
-
Harry Skelton 26%43543-No signal8/11 Evs 8/11Top of our figures here, and operating from a yard currently in good form — he finished third at Cork on his most recent outing; however, he has stamina to prove over today's trip, his best form has come on softer conditions than today's, and he returns from a lengthy absence.
-
31P-15No signal7/1 6/1 13/2A winner twice in his last five starts and comfortable at today's trip and going, he prefers to force the pace and is effective on a sound surface; inconsistent by nature and well beaten when stepped up in grade last time, but 1lb lower today offers marginally more favourable terms.
-
Conor Whiteley 15%Michael Appleby 13%450637No signal18/1 18/1 16/1Held once again at Chester 16 days ago, beaten 4l off a mark 2lb higher than today's; first-time cheekpieces are a new addition and the mark continues to ease, but he's yet to score in recent starts and needs to find more to feature here.
-
George Downing 10%Seamus Mullins 11%74-312No signal7/4 5/4 7/4Consistent performer who landed a race at Lingfield two runs back off a 2lb lower mark, then ran to his level when second last time on the same official rating he faces today; first-time cheekpieces add a fresh angle over a trip that suits on any surface.
-
Seamus Mullins 11%32114-No signal13/2Two wins in her last five starts demonstrates she has the form to be competitive, effective over today's trip and going, with sharp tracks to her liking; however, her most recent outing was well below that level and cheekpieces are applied for the first time.
-
Alexandra Egan 14%221187No signal14/1 16/1 17/2Below par in his last two starts, beaten 8l last time off a mark only 1lb higher; he has won twice in his last six and handles this trip and going, but sits at the bottom of our rankings with plenty to prove even with first-time cheekpieces.
-
Myla Coppins 17%Tony Carroll 13%644701No signal8/11 4/5 8/11Fresh from landing a handicap at Windsor just seven days ago off the same mark he carries today, Beelzebub makes a quick reappearance with no penalty to carry; our top-rated runner who acts on this trip and going, he is the clear one to beat here.
-
Kieren Fox 10%Charlie Pike 7%415-1No signal4/1 11/4 4/1Striding clear by over four lengths at Nottingham just nine days ago off a 9lb lower mark, Bella's Path demonstrated she handles this trip well on fast ground and looks open to further progress; a hood is tried for the first time today and, despite a sharp rise in the weights, she carries live claims.
-
Rian Corcoran 16%David Pipe 16%126-52No signal4/1Second at Warwick on her most recent start and generally consistent of late; effective over 2m and acts on soft and good ground, but today's good-to-firm conditions may test her on the quicker side.
-
Ruth Carr 12%-11296No signal8/1 5/1 8/1Well beaten on his most recent start, below form by a wide margin off a mark just 1lb higher than today, and he needs to reverse that substantially; his trainer is out of sorts, and despite first-time cheekpieces his profile here is hard to warm to.
-
Joanna Mason 12%70-284No signal5/1 7/2 5/1Fourth at Ripon last time, running to something close to his mark over the right distance and surface, and connections have a strong record in this event; the inconsistency in his recent profile is the reservation, but he warrants respect as a genuine danger.
-
Ismail Mohammed 12%0No signal50/1 25/1 33/1Showed nothing in a Nottingham maiden where he raced far too enthusiastically to deliver any kind of effort; first-time cheekpieces are applied to help him relax and the trainer has been in good form, but he needs to settle dramatically better before he can be trusted.
-
Gina Mangan 11%Rod Millman 13%-U0473No signal4/1 4/1 7/2Finished with purpose at Chepstow last time, beaten 3¼l off this exact mark; effective at 6-8f on soft and good to firm and with his trainer in form, he looks on a fair mark stepping back up to 1m and is a genuine threat.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Ralph Beckett 19%7-2618No signal9/1 17/2 9/1Pulled hard and found little in the closing stages when well held last time, carrying the same mark here; he has landed this trip and goes well on a variety of surfaces, but a tendency to race freely remains the main concern.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Jonathan Portman 13%143-29No signal11/1 9/1 11/1Showed good form in the run-up to her latest outing at Newbury, where she was caught up in an unsustainable early gallop that unravelled in the straight; effective at this trip and capable of a more representative effort when the pace is better judged.
-
James Evans 14%59-786No signal6/1 5/1 6/1Out of form through recent starts, though her latest effort on soft turf looks an excuse; back on artificial where she acts, and her mark has been dropping, though an extended losing sequence makes her hard to trust.
-
Luke Dace 11%023-65No signal6/1 FCST 11/2Longstanding maiden on the Flat, though he showed renewed purpose in hurdles company recently, finishing third over a shorter trip despite too much to ask of him from the rear; handles this surface and the distance is within range, making him a threat if that energy can be channelled on the Flat.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%Adrian Wintle 11%6-0671No signal14/1 13/2 14/1Bounced back to land a classified event at this course and distance by a neck last time, showing he handles any going over 10-12f; the return to handicap company asks more, though the recent course form is solid and first-time cheekpieces add interest.
- C
-
Kieren Fox 10%-36253No signal10/1Third beaten 3 1/4l here seven days ago off today's mark, Cabeza De Llave ran to his recent level and is suited by 5f on any going; ranked 11th of 13 on our figures and without a win in his last five outings, he would need to find an extra gear to improve his position.
-
James Bowen 20%254-34No signal4/1 11/2 10/3Effective over today's trip and going, and racing below her last successful mark, she heads our figures as the most likely contender; yet to land a win in recent starts, but she briefly threatened at Southwell before tiring, suggesting this 16f trip could stretch her.
-
David Egan 14%Thomas Faulkner 12%8-84No signal80/1 33/1 80/1Hard to fancy based on these figures — she failed to trouble the judge when fourth beaten 8l in a novice last time, and remains without a win in her last three starts; middle-distance breeding at least gives hope over 12f on her return from an 80-day break.
-
Jason Hart 14%Charlie Johnston 13%—No signal3/1 3/2 11/4A Camelot colt who is a full brother to a top-class performer at 10-12 furlongs, with his dam also having shown useful ability at a mile; from a strong yard, he looks well placed to make an immediate impression in what appears a modest field.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Ed Walker 16%42-32No signal2/5 FCST 1/3Handled the step into handicap company well on her most recent start, going down by only 3 lengths at Nottingham off a mark of 80, and today's mile should suit a filly proven on a sound surface.
-
Cam Hardie 6%Andrew Crook 9%6-9098No signal125/1 66/1 100/1Well beaten at Ripon most recently after showing little, and this good ground may not be his ideal surface given his best form has come on AW; off 32 days and ranked lowest of the nine on our figures, it is hard to make a case for him.
-
3126-2No signal8/1 3/1 8/1Ran to his level when a close second, beaten just half a length off this exact mark last time; effective at 8-10f on soft and AW, and has a clear chance if he carries that forward — a touch of keenness the main concern with first-time cheekpieces here.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Clive Cox 17%3No signal4/6 10/11 2/3Shaped with plenty of promise on debut when third at Leicester 34 days ago, with improvement expected here; the stable has a strong record in this race and he handles today's ground — a solid contender at the head of our ratings.
-
Harry Burns 10%William Haggas 23%570736No signal15/2 6/1 7/1Winless in his last six starts and well held at Sandown 17 days ago, beaten over five lengths, Carbine Harvester is suited by this trip and fast ground and wears a tongue-tie for the first time; the trainer is in good form of late but our figures rank him ninth of eleven and a significant uplift is required.
-
Oliver Stammers 12%Charlie Johnston 13%4No signal16/1 11/1 14/1Ran with some encouragement on her sole start, finishing fourth beaten around 8 lengths in a novice at Ripon, and with today's distance and going both familiar, she looks capable of taking a forward step second time out.
-
James Bowen 20%P31-52No signal10/3 32/17 10/3Consistent and effective up to 2m4f on good and soft, he performed to his level last time when second beaten 6½l by a well-handicapped rival off 99 — just 1lb higher here, he rates a solid each-way threat.
-
Robert Havlin 15%Karen Jewell 4%455-02No signal8/1 9/2 8/1Runner-up at Lingfield 41 days ago over this trip, beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark, Celtic Spirit gets a first run in cheekpieces and handles good ground well; yet to get off the mark in recent starts but there is clearly ability in the book, and building on that effort would make him a serious contender.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Zoe Hawkins 7%471-18No signal5/1 5/1 9/2Returned to winning ways at this course two starts back off a 2lb lower mark before running to his level at the same official rating on turf last time; back on his favoured all-weather surface with tongue-tie added for the first time, though he has yet to land a race at this particular level.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%26-244No signal7/2Highly consistent and suited to this trip on any surface, Charmaine ran to her level when fourth at Goodwood last time and arrives in a race where her connections have a strong record; she tops our figures by a clear margin and looks the one to beat.
-
William Carson 10%Tony Carroll 13%13-299No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Beaten 4l at Epsom 23 days ago off a mark 2lb higher than today's, running close to form; she handles any ground and goes equally well at 5f and 6f, so the drop in the mark is a genuine boost heading into this.
-
Charlie Maggs 14%Ryan Potter 7%P/11-4No signal12/1 12/1 11/1A points winner at 3m suggesting jumping ability, she was well beaten in her latest point outing and returns off a long absence; the first-time hood is a possible aid but she needs to find a great deal more here.
-
09588-No signal25/1 FCST 20/1Absent for over a year and last seen running poorly at Chepstow, Coiled is well below his best level since last summer and the yard's 14-day strike rate provides little confidence; returning from a long layoff as a winless runner in his last five outings, he is very difficult to recommend on current form.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%12-375No signal9/2 5/2 9/2Back to the minimum trip after the extra yardage found him out at Windsor 37 days ago, Comic Strip acts on quick surfaces and goes from stall 1; rated third on our figures, he has strong claims if the drop in distance sharpens him up.
-
Mark Winn 11%David O'Meara 13%70-957No signal33/1 25/1 33/1Out of form and made no impression at Carlisle last time, staying in the rear throughout; first-time cheekpieces are a try, but a wide draw in stall 8 compounds the task, and it is difficult to make a case on recent evidence despite his versatility on any going.
-
Robert Havlin 15%Michael Appleby 13%2-6726No signal8/1 FCST 15/2Pulled hard last time and was well held at Newmarket, but was in good shape prior to that and the 58-day break gives him the chance to settle better at a trip and on ground he handles; the trainer's quiet recent form is the main caveat.
-
—No signal125/1 66/1 80/1A lightly-bought Showcasing gelding whose dam showed useful form over longer trips, Cruse On Bye is stepping out over a trip likely shorter than his breeding suggests; the yard's runners typically need time to come to hand, and experience rather than a big show may be the most realistic aim on debut.
-
William Carver 10%Jamie Osborne 12%110-48No signal28/1 16/1 28/1Crystal Mariner has a good course and distance record and the trip and surface should be right, but his Leicester run last time was well below his best as he found himself out of position and never landed a blow; first-time tongue-tie adds interest and a return here could suit.
-
Harry Davies 13%Brian Meehan 9%7No signal25/1 14/1 25/1Showed glimpses on his debut here 7 days ago but beaten 9l in a maiden, needing significant improvement to figure at this level; lightly raced with potential to develop, but he has plenty of ground to make up on the current evidence.
- D
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%Jim Boyle 10%52-447No signal12/1 10/1 11/1Showed solid prior consistency but raced too freely at Lingfield last time and was well beaten as a result; effective on this surface and trip, and worth a second chance if she settles today.
-
Jason Hart 14%1-7838No signal13/2 15/2 11/2Effective over 8-12f on a sound surface, with stall 1 on the inside rail a potential asset; but a response is needed after finding little when beaten nearly 10 lengths at Beverley last time, where he took the wide course.
-
Sean Levey 13%Richard Hannon 12%—No signal11/1 7/1 11/1A £35,000 Dubawi Legend colt on his debut, with a dam rated no better than moderate at sprint trips; there is little form in the book to work from and he appears an unlikely threat at first appearance, though first-time evidence will be telling.
-
Ryan Sexton 12%Julie Camacho 11%-7R656No signal25/1 FCST 22/1Racing prominently and unable to settle at Leicester last time, Diderot was held without any real excuse; his mark has eased since returning from a break, but form has moved in the wrong direction and it is hard to fancy him strongly at this stage.
-
Keiran Burke 13%9No signal125/1 150/1 100/1His most recent outing here saw him struggle throughout in a novice, well beaten without threatening; ranked last on our figures and with everything to prove on the Flat, he needs a drastically improved showing to feature.
-
Harry Davies 13%Stuart Williams 13%556636No signal16/1 FCST 14/1Held up but never landing a blow at Bath last time, beaten 4 1/4l, Diomed Spirit is winless in his last six starts and at his most effective on the artificial surface; fast turf on the minimum trip is less proven and a significant step forward is required to feature here.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%51-55No signal33/1 14/1 25/1Here for his debut in a new yard, Director's Cut arrives with a trainer in good form and a sound surface that should suit; however, his Doncaster run last time hinted at stamina limitations over a longer trip, and the mark looks a stiff ask on his first start for the stable.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Charles Hills 15%462-88SSteamer Whisper 1 signalSP FCST 7/1Struggled to land a blow from a wide berth at Chester last time, beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark; ranked last on our figures and yet to score in recent starts, though the lower mark here keeps him technically in the picture.
-
P. J. McDonald 14%David Evans 13%31-710No signal15/2 5/1 15/2Landed two races in his last five starts and his trainer is in good form, making him interesting; well below par last time where he was never involved, and today's step down in trip back to a mile is a question mark given his record so far on faster ground.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%59-061No signal4/1 11/4 4/1Landed a handicap at Beverley last time, finishing strongly to score by 1.5 lengths off a mark 6lb lower than today, and the top course trainer is a positive; first-time tongue-tie and blinkers accompany a significant rise in the weights, though, and more improvement is needed at this higher level.
-
Dylan Hogan 11%186202No signalSP FCST 5/1Back to her best when going down by a neck at Wetherby on her latest start, and she has a consistent record on artificial surfaces; a trainer in good form adds appeal, with the wide draw the one reservation on her strong chance.
-
Tom Bellamy 16%/487-6No signal40/1 18/1 40/1Consistently finishing out of the places in her last four starts, she has all to prove here; a first-time hood is applied today and she handles the trip and going, but held comfortably at Huntingdon last time when needing the run, this looks a tough assignment.
-
John Butler 13%381No signal8/15 8/13 9/17Took a novice at Wolverhampton by three-quarters of a length last time, benefitting from a drop in class, and his debut form has been given a boost since; effective on artificial and the leading player here under a penalty if his stamina sees out this 7f trip.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Richard Hannon 12%3No signal9/2Shaped with real encouragement on debut at Leicester where he finished strongly once the early gallop petered out, getting within 4 1/2 lengths of the winner; acts over 7f and likely to stay further, and with natural improvement expected for that first-run experience he is a serious threat here.
-
Liam Wright 14%Jim Boyle 10%000-88No signal66/1 33/1 50/1Form has gone increasingly backward on turf in recent starts, with Dutch Kingdom well beaten at Lingfield last time; the return to the all-weather is a genuine positive and a combination of tongue-tie and blinkers for the first time may help, but he needs to demonstrate the current mark is still within his compass.
- E
-
Tom Marquand 16%Charlie Wallis 10%41-877No signalSP FCST 12/1Trailing 5 1/4 lengths here 14 days ago and ranked bottom on our figures, Echo Of Faith's most effective form has come over longer trips — up to a mile — and he arguably needs softer ground to show his best; an eye-catching jockey booking adds a small note of optimism.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%1-1405No signal11/1Two wins from his last five in this type of company, with a pleasing Newmarket handicap run on his most recent outing 58 days ago; handles cut and this trip well, and the short break should be no concern — he carries real claims here.
-
David Egan 14%Thomas Faulkner 12%125629No signal4/1 11/2 7/2Consistent performer over today's trip on a sound surface, El Bufalo is 16 days on from a tough run in a higher grade at York; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are an interesting addition, though the mark of 78 may be at the ceiling of his current range.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%John Wainwright 11%655873No signal14/1 15/2 14/1Third at Beverley last time, and fitted with first-time cheekpieces here, and well suited by today's distance and surface; below our top trio on figures, though, and a career-best effort would be required to get involved.
-
Stevie Donohoe 12%John Ryan 9%-78544No signalSP FCST 8/1Fourth at Carlisle last time beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark, and she has been fitted with first-time cheekpieces as connections look for a step forward; effective on this surface over this trip, but she needs to find more than she has been showing.
-
165No signal10/1A course-and-distance maiden success whose form has since been boosted in strong company gives Enemy Agent solid credentials; his handicap debut at Ascot in new headgear over a longer trip didn't do him justice, but back over his best trip on the all-weather in conditions that suit his action, he is well placed to deliver.
-

Michael Bell 13%0No signal50/1 25/1 33/1Backward under pressure at Windsor just seven days ago on his only start, Stoney Wood was well beaten and clearly still learning his trade; bred to handle sprint trips, there is scope for improvement with more experience, though the trainer's recent numbers are modest and a big step up is needed.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%James Horton 11%34-0No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Failed to see out 1m at Yarmouth most recently but had shown good form at 7f on the all-weather prior; returning after a 79-day break on handicap debut, a rebound is needed but the earlier ability gives cause for hope if this shorter trip suits.
-
Harry Derham 20%21No signalevn 10/3 4/5Took a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot by 22 lengths last time, an emphatic display at around 2m on good ground; carrying a penalty just six days on, he rates a live threat, though the quick turnaround is a query.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Ben Haslam 14%980607No signalSP FCST 20/1Pulled hard at Newcastle last time and was well beaten by 7 lengths, and he has not produced his best form since switching from Ireland; effective enough over today's trip on good ground, but an upturn in attitude is required to get involved.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Charlie Johnston 13%358No signal16/1 9/1 16/1Failed to handle the track at Ripon last time, where he was beaten nine lengths having been left behind once the race quickened; the dam's stamina means 7f should suit better, and this is a big, attractive type who looks capable of better on an artificial surface.
-
Jason Hart 14%Charlie Fellowes 11%7-3246No signal5/1 FCST 9/2Showed enough over 7f to suggest this level is within range, and the drop back to 6f with first-time cheekpieces is a potentially positive combination; below form at Yarmouth last time beaten 6 lengths on soft, and his current mark looks stiff, though conditions today may suit better.

-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Harry Charlton 16%34No signal4/1 3/1 10/3Her debut effort has since been given a strong endorsement at a higher level, and today's drop back to a mile looks sensible for a filly proven on this going; a tongue-tie applied for the first time adds an element of the unknown.
-
John Egan 9%Des Donovan 8%60No signal125/1 FCST 80/1Struggled to show anything meaningful in either of his two outings, lacking experience throughout, and a wide draw adds to the difficulty here; he is the type who appears to want more time, and today is unlikely to be soon enough for him to show his best.
-
Mr Jack Lander 16%Adrian Nicholls 13%-34184No signal14/1 10/1 11/1Filled fourth spot last time, beaten 3 lengths off a mark of 63 — just 1lb above today's — in a performance consistent with his capabilities; first-time cheekpieces arrive with the trainer in good form, and he has the ability to feature if producing his best.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%24No signal6/4 10/11 5/4Eager in the preliminaries and drawn wide at Chester last time, This Moment went too hard early on a tight circuit and finished fourth beaten 4 lengths; a more conventional track here with a trainer in fine form gives him better conditions, and he is effective at 6f on good ground.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%Rod Millman 13%451426No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Landed a race by a length at Nottingham earlier this season off a mark 4lb below today's, Tickettothestars was well beaten last time at what appeared a challenging level; back on a mark she should handle and suited by the trip, she has claims despite the 1lb rise.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%12No signalSP FCST 10/11Keen-going in front at Market Rasen last time, he spent his energy too freely and was beaten 8½l under penalty, but the talent is clear; effective around 2m on good ground with a yard in outstanding form, he looks the one to beat with improvement to come.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%William Stone 13%77234-No signal22/1 12/1 20/1Off the track for 252 days and well held at Pontefract on his last appearance, Tipsy Tiger faces a stiff task back from a lengthy absence; he is most effective around ten furlongs with cut in the ground, and conditions here are unlikely to suit, though cheekpieces are on for the first time.
-
Harry Davies 13%Brian Toomey 12%22535-No signal16/1 11/1 16/1Absent for 259 days — a significant layoff — Trafalger was slow to break last time at Yarmouth and beaten over seven lengths; wearing a hood for the first time, he acts on a sound surface and the current mark could prove workable if he returns fit and steps away promptly.
-
Charles Bishop 10%13-335BBoD Whisper 1 signal4/1 9/2 7/2Ran to form at Sandown last time beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark, and subsequent events have lent that effort extra merit; effective up to 9f and has the profile to go well again, though stall 13 leaves her with ground to make up.
-
Simon Dow 11%805814No signal8/1 7/1 8/1Prominent racer who landed a Lingfield success by five lengths penultimate start, then acquitted herself well up in class last time; first-time hood applied and a pound lower here helps, though she may need more off this mark.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%94SSteamer Whisper 1 signal4/5 3/2 1/2Finishing with clear purpose from the rear to claim fourth at Sandown 16 days ago, much improved on his debut; the step up in trip today looks the right move and he has more to offer, supported by a high-calibre jockey booking.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%4No signal11/8 31/19 5/4Inexperienced on debut at Nottingham but finding his stride in the closing stages, Tumishi was a shade over three lengths back in fourth in a promising effort and looks sure to improve from that first run; an all-speed pedigree makes six furlongs ideal and he is the clear danger to our selection.
-
Jack Doughty 13%Jonathan Portman 13%9-4058No signal8/1 10/1 15/2Pressed along too keenly when stepped up in trip at Windsor last time and may not have stayed, beaten 4l off a mark 3lb higher than today's; most effective over 6f with cut in the ground and a first-time visor could help, though still needing more to get fully involved.
-
Mason Paetel(3) 11%Oliver Cole 11%21-652No signal11/4 FCST 5/2Touched off by a nose at Newbury last time off a 5lb lower mark, Twisting Physics was close to his best and steps in with the tongue-tie retained; suited by 10f on fast ground, he threatens if he gets to set his own pace, though the 5lb rise in the weights is the chief concern.

-
Tom Bellamy 16%Alan King 16%313F-7No signal4/1 9/2 11/4His Aintree flop is best excused as a likely fitness run, and earlier form over 2m on sound ground tells a different story; back on conditions that suit, he rates a solid threat, though 45 days between runs remains the key query.

Isabelle Ryder 16%/563-PNo signal33/1 20/1 33/1Third in a hurdle earlier this season, he has shown some ability and cheekpieces are applied for the first time here; he failed to complete at Bangor-on-Dee last time, and a step up in trip could suit — yet he has something to prove on recent form before he can be called a reliable danger.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%George Baker 10%8No signal50/1 33/1 25/1Well beaten at Goodwood on her only start without making any impact, Vesper Honey is bred to prefer around a mile and is unlikely to find six furlongs her best distance; she is likely to need more time and experience, making her difficult to recommend here.
-
Gina Mangan 11%Mark Usher 10%9-0073No signal4/1 7/1 4/1Third at Lingfield last time, beaten just 1¼l off a mark only 1lb higher than today's — he has been running consistently to his level of late and handles 7-8f on good ground and AW; with first-time cheekpieces added, he rates a danger from a workable mark.

-
Kielan Woods 14%Fergal O'Brien 15%/3P-F4No signalSP 9/2 15/2Struggling to make his mark over hurdles, he was beaten 41 lengths in a novice contest at Uttoxeter last time and the pattern of falls and pulled ups gives little confidence; handles 2m on good ground but needs a dramatic upturn to feature here.
-
Micky Hammond 10%—No signal33/1 16/1 25/1A son of Decorated Knight out of a dam who showed fair ability at 10 furlongs, he is a half-brother to Golden Wolf, a useful performer at two miles or more; the trainer arrives in decent form, but making an instant impression as a debutant is never assured.
-
Richie McLernon 13%Ben Haslam 14%—No signal3/1 5/1 3/1Second beaten 4¼l at Redcar over 14f on the Flat last time, performing to his level, he looks the profile to make a capable hurdler; the switch to obstacles and today’s 16f trip are both unknowns, but he carries potential and could go well.
-
Jason Hart 14%Tina Jackson 11%56-374No signal11/2 5/1 9/2Kept to form at Thirsk last time, going under by 3.25 lengths off a mark just 1lb above today's, and she is well suited by 5f on this going; her official rating has been easing and there is more to come if she can reproduce that level of effort.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%88-224No signal5/4 5/2 5/4Second twice in recent starts and runs off the same official mark here; he was never at ease last time but the track and conditions may not have suited, and a first-time tongue-tie gives a new angle — he has a fair chance of recapturing his earlier level if this combination clicks.
-
James Owen 18%8635U3No signal33/1 16/1 33/1Finished third at Brighton last time, beaten 2¼ lengths off the same mark as today, suggesting he retains some form; tongue-tie and visor are both fitted for the first time here, and while he handles the trip well enough, inconsistency makes him hard to rely on.

Jonny Peate 9%Jack Morland 10%-34714No signal15/2 5/1 13/2Second in our figures and showing form that held up well when pitched in quickly under a penalty last time, Yachtsman has a 39-day freshener behind him and dons a tongue-tie for the first time; 1lb lower than that outing, he looks capable of going close with a clear round.
-
Tim Easterby 11%55-051No signal15/2 11/2 15/2Returned to form in fine style last time, landing a handicap at Ripon by a head off a mark 3lb below today's, and that tenacious display underlines his competitiveness at this trip; the trainer has a strong record at this course and the ground is in his favour.

Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%21-143No signal11/8 31/19 18/13A progressive filly with two wins in her last five outings, Zighy ran to her mark last time but went for home too early and was caught close to the line; back at the minimum trip with a trainer in fine form, she has solid claims on her best.
No horse matches that.
