Harry Vigors 12%Grace Harris 10%06-535No signal11/2 13/2 5/1Fifth at Chepstow latest, beaten five lengths, A Rose Adaay handles the distance and has claims off a reduced handicap mark; consistency has been lacking in recent form, however, and she needs to find more in this company.
-
J. P. Murtagh 11%1-3261No signal18/1 11/1 16/1Landed a handicap at Leopardstown comfortably last time and is effective over today's trip and conditions, she now goes in first-time cheekpieces. The step up in grade makes this considerably harder, and the trainer's recent form is a concern.
-
Jake Dickson 12%Jim Goldie 14%418773No signal17/2 13/2 8/1Won here in April by a head off this exact official mark, and came within two lengths of the winner in his most recent start; effective at 7f to 8f on any going, with a workable mark and the trainer in good form at this course — the main concern is consistency.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%William Haggas 23%76No signalSP 10/1 17/2Held at Windsor last time in a novice, Adalo is lightly raced and brings middle-distance breeding that points to substantial improvement ahead; both outings so far have left plenty of room for development and he should step forward considerably from this stage.
-
David Probert 13%Clive Cox 17%10-225No signal11/8 5/4 18/13Forced to switch and given too much to do at Newbury last time, so the two-length defeat flatters the task he faced; all his form comes on a sound surface, he acts at six furlongs, and the current mark looks generous.
-
Jamie Powell 8%M D O'Callaghan 12%67-871No signal7/2 4/1 10/3Landed a 12f handicap at this course last time, getting the better by a half-length, and tops our ratings heading into this. He is well suited by sound ground, though stamina at ten furlongs is the slight unknown coming back in trip.
-
308-62No signal18/1 13/2 16/1Fitted with first-time blinkers, he has competed at Group level in Germany and stays the full two miles; an encouraging second by a neck in a classified race here last time is a positive, but he remains without a win in recent starts.
-
20756-No signal12/1Looked a factor briefly at Kilbeggan 67 days ago before fading, possibly finding the trip too long; a return to fences after a break and over a shorter distance could help, but he is yet to score in his last five starts and is hard to make a case for.
-
Charles Bishop 10%Saeed bin Suroor 20%8No signal7/1 4/1 7/1Well backed on his debut at Wolverhampton, he was beaten further than his potential suggests and a step up to a longer trip looks exactly what his breeding demands; the first outing can be set aside and he could leave it well behind.
-
989-09No signal20/1 25/1 20/1Well below maiden level at Fairyhouse most recently, consistent with her recent pattern of struggling at the back of the field; she tries first-time blinkers here and the pedigree suggests a requirement for at least seven furlongs. More improvement is needed before she can feature.
-
Hector Crouch 18%Ralph Beckett 19%—BBoD Whisper 1 signal3/1An unraced daughter of Study Of Man out of Alabelle, herself useful over middle distances; related to Ebury, useful at a mile, she has an attractive pedigree for today's trip and comes from a yard with a strong record placing debutants.
-
Dylan Hogan 11%50-008No signal80/1 50/1 66/1Ranked last of the eleven on our figures and has offered very little in recent outings — she trailed the field here last time, beaten over seven lengths — and at this mark she faces a difficult task to make an impression.
-
Chris Hayes 10%D K Weld 13%04-4No signal7/2 7/2 10/3Fourth on her most recent start at Gowran Park, running to form despite showing some keenness, and the drop in trip looks an enticing switch for a filly effective at this distance; her connections have landed this race before, though the short break is worth noting.
-
170/6-No signal40/1 14/1 40/1Off the track for nearly 400 days and last seen below her best in a claimer in Ireland, performing poorly on both the Flat and over obstacles through the past year; showed ability at this trip on good ground earlier in her career, but there is a great deal to prove here.
-
Sam Coen 11%Joseph G Murphy 11%-04933No signal4/1 11/4 4/1Third here on his most recent start, finishing 4½ lengths off the pace in a handicap, he has rediscovered his form and handles the course, trip and going ideally. A consistent performer who should run another solid race from stall 7.
-
Paul Nolan 10%6077-PNo signal18/1 FCST 16/1His jumping let him down when pulled up at this track last time; first-time tongue-tie is the main addition, and while he handles today's trip and going, he has lacked consistency in recent starts and our figures rank him near the foot of the field.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%235488No signal5/2 11/2 5/2Placed 2nd and 3rd in recent starts and suited to this 8/9f trip; first-time tongue-tie and blinkers could spark a revival after a well-beaten Bath effort, though his more solid form has come on the all-weather rather than turf.
-
Nikki Evans 7%-79794SSteamer Whisper 1 signal6/1 8/1 11/2Fourth here last time, beaten three lengths, Angel's Call has experience over the distance but is arguably better suited to shorter; he has been winless in his last five starts and first-time cheekpieces are the main hope of reversing that.
-
Marco Ghiani 16%Tony Carroll 13%565445No signal10/3 7/2 10/3Effective around today's trip and surface, and connections who have landed this race twice in the past nine runnings make him an interesting contender; the handicapper has been easing his mark, though he needs to improve on a disappointing effort at Bath last time.
-
Tom Marquand 16%William Haggas 23%004-71WHTW Whisper 1 signal3/1 9/4 3/1Won at Yarmouth last time, showing plenty of tenacity to hold on by a head; first-time tongue-tie is added here, the trainer is in fine form, and while the mark has moved up 6lb, there could be more to come from him.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%145478No signal8/1 FCST 15/2Won a race in recent starts and is effective around this 8f trip on good going; a poor Bath effort last time means he needs to step forward, and while the conditions are in his favour, bouncing back from that run is the key requirement.
-
David Nolan 12%Rebecca Menzies 11%80No signal80/1 50/1 66/1Struggling to make an impression in either of his two starts so far, Aodhan has shown little promise and arrives here just three days after his latest below-par effort. Significant improvement is required to feature.
-
Jim Boyle 10%267-98No signal66/1 33/1 66/1Has the trip and ground in her favour and a 2nd in recent starts hints at some ability; yet to win in her last five, however, and a well-beaten Lingfield effort latest arrived amid a run of poor form — the first-time hood can only help but improvement is required.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%875193No signal7/1 5/1 13/2Third when beaten a length off the same mark last time out, Approaching Dawn ran consistently for a stable that has won this race twice in the last five years. He acts on good ground at this trip, though his form can be variable; the conditions look right.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Mark Loughnane 10%-76078No signal14/1 16/1 14/1Well beaten at Lingfield last time after running too freely, he now wears a first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces; effective over six and seven furlongs on most surfaces, but the poor recent record makes him tough to recommend at this stage.
-
Darragh O'Keeffe 13%670-33No signal13/2 12/1 6/1Third at Limerick 33 days ago on a step up in trip, but she overdid things early and the 19-length gap reflected it. A reasonable hurdles maiden who may settle better over the longer distances on fences; effective from 2m to 2m4f on a sound surface, first-time tongue-tie.
-
Ben Coen 11%J. P. Murtagh 11%0/5No signal15/8 2/1 32/17After an unplaced debut, she took a step forward at the Curragh last time, finishing fifth and shaping with credit over today's 12f trip. The trainer is in strong current form and she looks well placed to go well in this modest field.
-
Jason Hart 14%Katie Scott 10%449215No signal15/2 6/1 15/2Won at this trip and goes well on the going, making her competitive at this mark; wore blinkers at her last start but pulled across track in the closing stages, finishing fifth beaten four lengths off this same mark — temperament is the key concern.
-
Paul Nolan 10%5386-5No signal8/1 15/2 8/1Beaten ten lengths at Downpatrick 39 days ago when the trip looked shorter than ideal; she shaped well enough to suggest more is coming as the distances increase, acts on today's going, and is a genuine danger despite being winless in her last five starts. First-time tongue-tie.
- B
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Seamus Mullins 11%4331-4No signal10/1 7/1 10/1Won convincingly at Ayr from a lower mark to show he retains ability, but he was outpaced and beaten 21 lengths last time off this same official rating; a tricky ride at best and hard to trust here.
-
9/160-No signal40/1 18/1 40/1Returning from nearly a year off the track, he was hampered at Galway last time and was left with far too much to make up — it counts as an unlucky effort and a fresh opportunity over fences is warranted. Acts on good ground; first-time tongue-tie applied.
-
—No signal9/2 7/2 9/2A 42,000-euro Gleneagles filly who is a half-sister to Port Light, a smart performer at a mile, and comes with the backing of a trainer with an excellent record here; she commands respect for her first start and the pedigree gives confidence the trip will suit.
-
Wesley Joyce 6%8No signal20/1 28/1 18/1Showed gradual progress from the rear after a sluggish start on his debut at Fairyhouse, finishing 8 lengths back, but was closing towards the finish and the breeding suggests 7f and further will suit; he is expected to come on for that initial experience.
-
Alexandra Egan 14%544057No signal50/1 50/1 40/1Trip and going conditions here fall within his range and he ran at this course last time; yet to win in his last six, though, with a slow start hampering him on his most recent visit here, and the finishing positions offer little to build on.
-
Jason Hart 14%Mark Walford 11%-00517No signal8/1 11/2 15/2Bay Dream Believer won at Pontefract off a 3lb lower mark and was reportedly denied a clear run last time, masking her true level. She handles this trip and goes on any ground; first-time hood adds interest, though the trainer's current run-rate is a concern.
-
T M Walsh 12%910-44No signal20/1 16/1 20/1Fourth at Punchestown last time in a contest dominated from the front, where he had too much ground to make up; he handles today's trip and going, first-time tongue-tie is applied, and there is a solid case for him performing better here.
-
4No signal6/1 11/2 6/1Finishing fourth at Redcar on debut with a hint of late progress, Bear Lee hinted at better to come despite being held. She is speedily bred and a sound surface should suit her stride pattern; improvement looks likely with that experience under her belt.
-
842-67No signal25/1 16/1 22/1Has form at today's trip and conditions and a placed effort in recent starts shows the ability is there, but she ran well below herself when beaten 10 lengths at this course eight days ago and needs to find much better to be involved.
-
U5-772No signal10/1 17/2 9/1Back down in trip at Tramore last month showed a marked upturn in form — second beaten just half a length in a beginners chase — and her hurdle record points to more ability in reserve. Effective at 2m on soft or good; bottom-rated on our figures but this was an encouraging run.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%7465No signal9/1 11/1 17/2With experience at this mile trip and a fourth among recent efforts, Belltony looks capable of better than his recent finishes suggest and has genuine scope for improvement; he remains yet to score in his last four starts, which is the honest caveat.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%Jim Boyle 10%682768No signal15/2 15/2 13/2Suited to the 8f trip and returned a runner-up effort in recent starts; stepping back from an over-trip at Yarmouth, he could be sharper here, though all his consistent form has come on the all-weather rather than turf and he still has questions to answer.
-
Shane Fitzgerald 10%J Morrison 1%60-264No signal12/1 15/2 12/1Fourth at Clonmel 25 days ago despite jumping errors that cost him ground; his earlier chase debut was encouraging and he handles the distance, but the hurdles profile is exposed and he is yet to score in his last five starts.
-
Kieren Fox 10%5-6224No signal9/2Has finished runner-up twice in his last four starts and performed with credit here last time in a classified race, beaten just 2 lengths; suited to this trip on sound ground, he rates a solid each-way contender, though he draws from stall 11 today.
-
Ross O'Sullivan 10%8No signal66/1 40/1 66/1Beaten a long way on her only start at Gowran Park, making no impression from the rear of the field, and will need to find a great deal more to get competitive here.
-
Gavin Cromwell 11%3-No signal9/2 4/1 9/2Effective at 12f on a sound surface, he has the profile for the trip and conditions here. Returns from an extended absence after a hurdle exit at Bellewstown, so the layoff is the main concern, but he is respected as a threat.
-
90011-No signal16/1 13/2 16/1Back-to-back wins going into this return from a long absence, including landing a handicap at Dundalk by three-quarters of a length off a lower mark, confirm a progressive trend. He handles today's distance and conditions, and goes from stall 11 on a mark above his last winning level.
-
Shane Foley 11%G. O'Leary 11%-95008SSteamer Whisper 1 signal10/3 10/1 3/1Had plenty to contend with last time here, missing the break and encountering traffic, leaving him with ground impossible to recover; he now tries a first-time tongue-tie and is effective at shorter distances on sound surfaces. A bounce back in form is needed after a string of disappointing efforts.
-
Nicola Burns 7%R P Burns 6%145-00No signal50/1 28/1 50/1Won over this sort of trip earlier in the season and tends to do his best work from the front, but form has tailed off sharply since with two unplaced efforts; first-time cheekpieces are added today and a return to his earlier level is the aim.
-
Edward Greatrex 14%Adrian Wintle 11%895-05No signal10/1 7/1 10/1Beaten three-and-a-quarter lengths at Chepstow last time, Blue Point Express rates among the most interesting on our figures and first-time cheekpieces could spark a response; her form has been patchy and a more testing surface might bring out the best in her.
-
40-39No signalSP FCST 7/1Handles the trip and ground well and the return to a shorter distance after failing to stay further at Gowran Park looks a clear plus; she showed the ability to finish third earlier in her campaign, with consistency being the main question.
-
8850-0No signal6/1 22/1 5/1Down the field at this venue 45 days ago where the ground could have been too quick; effective at 2½m and carrying a light weight, but consistent form has been absent and he has yet to score in his last five starts.
-
Tom Queally 10%704491No signal10/3 5/2 10/3Won here 21 days ago by a neck and is proven at this trip and going, with a trainer operating at a strong strike-rate; first-time cheekpieces add interest — the question is whether he can overcome a 5lb rise in the weights.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%0-0879No signal18/1 16/1 18/1Beaten seven lengths at Newcastle 78 days ago, with form having deteriorated across recent starts; acts at this trip and handles different surfaces, though he clearly thrives more on artificial tracks, making today a harder ask and hard to recommend at this level.
-
1630-3No signal7/2 5/2 7/2Third in a Group 3 at Cork on her most recent start, she has the quality to be competitive here and handles any going at this trip. The stable has a fine record in this event and she has a top course rider in the saddle — a genuine danger.
-
Jack Cleary 8%M A Molloy 7%9-No signal80/1 66/1 80/1Her latest effort ended early in a hurdle at Clonmel, and returning to the Flat after that exit leaves a number of questions to answer. She has shown more in bumpers before but faces a stiff task here on these figures.
-
Ciaran Gethings 11%Robert Stephens 11%44-1No signal11/4 32/17 9/4Won his maiden bumper at this course by 76 lengths last time on faster ground, a performance that showed real potential; there is every reason to expect progression into hurdling now, though the step up in class is the question to answer.
-
R Donohoe 8%5-0426No signal13/2 13/2 6/1Beaten six and a half lengths at Gowran Park on his most recent start but had run creditably in the two previous outings, including a runner-up placing; he steps out in first-time tongue-tie and blinkers. Winless in recent starts, he is capable over this trip and ground.
-
—No signal12/1 17/2 12/1By Cracksman, an outstanding middle-distance performer, out of the smart middle-distance performer Callendula and a half-brother to a useful sprinter; probably effective over today's 7f trip on pedigree, he is an intriguing newcomer and worth following in the market.
-
6U07-5No signal14/1 FCST 11/1Still relatively unexposed in this sphere and capable of better, she was never brought into contention at Southwell last time after a break, finishing 6 lengths off the pace; acts on good ground at 2m and should come forward for that outing.
-
Gavin Ryan 8%Noel Meade 11%—No signal28/1 18/1 25/1A 7,000-euro Elzaam gelding whose half-brother Stepinmydirection showed useful ability at 7f, and the stable has a strong record in this race; he is probably best kept in mind for a future outing, as the overall profile suggests he needs this first start to furnish experience.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%85-657SSteamer Whisper 1 signal9/2 10/1 4/1Winless in recent starts and consistent in defeat, he was beaten three lengths from a 2lb higher mark last time, suggesting the current rating remains stiff; handles the trip and ground well enough to fill a place.
-
38P-10No signalSP 14/1 18/1Struggled to last the trip at Ballinrobe 36 days ago after being committed to the front too early. An inconsistent sort who is best caught fresh over 2½m on a sound surface; today's conditions are suitable but he needs to keep something in reserve.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%Jim Boyle 10%04-162No signal15/2 5/1 15/2Won a race in recent starts and went within a short-head of following up last time, arriving 1lb higher here; acts on this sort of ground and has a clear affinity with Brighton, though he needs to build on that close effort to threaten the front rank.
- C
-
—No signal25/1 16/1 22/1A Gregorian colt bought for 19,000gns, representing a trainer capable of fielding debut winners with a strong record at this venue; market moves before the off are worth noting.
-
TBAA. Slattery 11%60No signalSP FCST 50/1Beaten down the field from an off-the-pace position at Down Royal on her most recent start and has plenty to find at this level; the breeding does point to a mile being her best trip in time, but more is needed here to get involved.
-
Luke Scott 16%Jennie Candlish 17%2-1122WHTW Whisper 1 signal2/1 5/2 2/1In good heart over recent starts, with a 21-length win at Plumpton from a lower mark three runs back and second last time at just 1lb below today's official rating; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces could sharpen him further.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Dylan Cunha 13%060638No signal17/2 11/1 15/2Heads the field on our ratings and fits this trip and surface well — the return to a shorter distance looks a positive, and first-time hood and tongue-tie could provide the nudge she needs; an out-of-form trainer and a well-beaten last run are the questions.
-
7SSteamer Whisper 1 signal3/1 15/2 3/1Showed encouragement on her debut at Gowran Park despite finishing seventh and well beaten, and she returns from an absence of around three months with form suggesting she handles soft ground best over shorter. Improvement needed stepping up to 12f today.
-
Seamus Cronin 13%Richard Hannon 12%532129No signal10/3 13/2 10/3Took a contest at Southwell convincingly three starts back before struggling under a higher mark in a more competitive setting last time; now rated 2lb lower, but his current level remains a concern, though he handles any going and has enough ability to place.
-
Archie Watson 15%2No signal9/1 9/2 9/1Runner-up on her opening start at Lingfield, beaten just half a length, Celestial Cen showed good raw ability and should come on for the experience; she shapes as a strong danger here, though a quicker break out of the gates could be decisive.
-
Ross O'Sullivan 10%/121-2No signal6/1 7/2 11/2A fine effort in a Listed race at Limerick last time, going down by half a length after finishing with good late energy over this trip, confirms he is in excellent heart. He landed this race 12 months ago and has every chance of going close again.
-
James Davies 8%14P5-2No signal18/1 14/1 18/1Shaped with credit at Huntingdon last time, moving into contention before being overhauled close home by a well-weighted rival; handles today's trip and going well and his overall mark looks fair enough, with more to offer on the back of that run.
-
J J Slevin 13%A. J. Martin 7%5386-2No signal7/2 10/3 7/2Chase debut at Kilbeggan last month was encouraging — second beaten 11 lengths — and there should be more to offer over jumps. Effective between 2m and 2½m, he comes into this yet to score but has the profile of a horse still finding his feet.
-
Tyrese Cameron 11%Barry Murphy 5%1066-8No signal66/1 22/1 66/1Fitted with a first-time tongue-tie and blinkers, he was pulled up at Newton Abbot last time in a hurdle contest and has shown erratic form of late; there is ability here on older evidence and the mark leaves room, but a return to form is needed.
-
J J Slevin 13%Aengus King 7%6-7437No signal11/1 16/1 11/1Well positioned at Roscommon 22 days ago but well beaten when it mattered; effective at 2m–3m and handles any going, though her best form may flatter somewhat and she has yet to score in her last five starts. First-time cheekpieces.
-
Jack Nicholls 12%Iain Jardine 12%313245No signal5/2 9/2 9/4Set a strong front-running pace last time and nearly got away with it, fading only close home when beaten two lengths off this same mark; first-time hood could aid focus, the trainer is in good shape, and the mark is fair — a genuine danger.
-
Paul Nolan 10%72/54-No signal10/1 9/1 10/1Shaped with ability at Down Royal five months ago — fourth beaten 11 lengths but perhaps not at her peak — and the form book reads better over fences for a yard that thrives at this track. Effective at around 2m4f on soft to heavy ground; first-time hood applied.
-
Scott Dixon 7%774360No signal20/1 28/1 20/1She tends to set a strong pace and the trip and going are within her range; first-time blinkers arrive after a poor Bath effort, though her trainer is going through a lean spell and she comes from stall 12 in a field of twelve.
-
Joseph G Murphy 11%97No signal66/1 50/1 66/1Matched a modest debut level when well beaten here on his latest start and faces a tough task again at this venue; the breeding points towards shorter trips, so 6-7f may be more his territory in time, but more is required at this level.
-
Jason Hart 14%Tristan Davidson 15%7-8307No signal9/2 15/2 7/2Well beaten at Carlisle 22 days ago, going down by over nine lengths in a performance well short of expectations; handles 7f to 8f on a sound surface and the mark has dropped, but a much-improved effort would be needed to get involved here.
-
Harry Vigors 12%383-95No signal11/2 8/1 5/1A promising return to form over hurdles last time off a mark 35lb higher than today's raises genuine interest; he handles this trip on a sound surface and looks well treated if that form transfers to the flat.
-
Jack Andrews 13%Tom Ellis 13%PP-P37No signal100/1 40/1 80/1Clearly pulling hard in his latest start at this course, where he was well beaten; a first-time hood could help settle him over the 2m trip, but with multiple pull-ups in his recent record he needs to show considerably more here.
-
Patrick T Foley 10%0427-1No signal10/1 12/1 10/1Won a handicap hurdle at Clonmel by 3½ lengths last time on favoured ground at a track where she clearly thrives, showing her best form when conditions suit. Inconsistent in general but capable on her day; first-time tongue-tie for her chase debut, where a bit more is needed.
-
Stan Sheppard 16%Matt Sheppard 12%766P-4No signal100/1 66/1 80/1Beaten 35 lengths on his hurdles debut at Warwick and brings only modest point-to-point form to this; he ranks among the lower-rated in the field and there is little in the record to suggest improvement here.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Grace Harris 10%563272No signal3/1 5/2 3/1Back to form under an aggressive ride when runner-up at Chepstow last time, a half-length behind after dropping in trip; now fitted with first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, she is just 1lb above her last winning mark and acts on most turf going.
-
Jack O'Neill 0%Faye Bramley 15%5No signal17/2 7/2 8/1Caught the eye on her Southwell debut despite finishing 9¼ lengths back in a maiden bumper, handling the trip and going reasonably well despite showing inexperience; she is capable of better with that run behind her and this trip looks right for her.
-
W R Crawford 11%—No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Showed a degree of encouragement in his bumper debut at Punchestown, finishing fourth while wearing first-time hood and tongue-tie, but will need considerably more on his Flat debut to make an impression here.
-
Darragh O'Keeffe 13%1373-3No signal11/4Chase debut at Tramore last month was encouraging — third over a shorter trip than ideal — and he is expected to improve significantly now stepped up in distance. Acts on good ground over today's trip and has a trainer firing on all cylinders; the one to beat.
-
Sam James 14%Katie Scott 10%6-35No signal22/1 15/2 22/1Held without threatening in a novice at Catterick 69 days ago, with little to show from her brief career so far; a wind operation is on record and faster going today should suit her action, but she remains very much one to prove herself.
-
1No signal50/1 50/1 40/1Won a maiden at Down Royal on his Flat debut by three lengths last time and showed clear ability on that occasion, but this is a considerably tougher assignment and he needs to find considerably more in this grade.
-
Ross O'Sullivan 10%356No signal8/1 8/1 15/2Having shown fair ability at around 9f on today's going, he looks interesting now stepping up to 12f for the first time. Beaten seven lengths at Gowran Park last time, he is winless in recent starts but the longer trip could bring out more.
-
Simon Dow 11%452-59No signal16/1 17/2 16/1Suited by this trip on a sound surface and showed decent form when runner-up in recent starts, he appeals as a genuine danger back at today's conditions; the 155-day absence and a pair of below-par efforts beforehand are the main question marks.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%Rod Millman 13%6-5986No signal13/2 7/1 6/1Beaten 10 lengths at Leicester last time, her form has declined markedly in recent starts; the official rating sits well below her last competitive level, but she would need to show considerable improvement to feature here.

Sam James 14%Gemma Tutty 11%—No signal11/1 9/1 11/1A Kodiac filly and half-sister to a useful 6f performer, Dadawada was bought at a breeze-up for 18,000gns, with the sprint pedigree pointing to this trip. As an April foal making her debut, she is best watched initially, but the pedigree profile is encouraging.
-
Ben Coen 11%5No signal18/1 28/1 18/1Struggled to get into it on her only start at Listowel after a tardy beginning, finishing well beaten, but the breeding pointing to 7f and beyond suggests a more suitable test awaits; she will need to find more to compete here but improvement is anticipated.

Edward Greatrex 14%Adrian Wintle 11%58-711No signal4/1 7/4 4/1In excellent form following back-to-back wins, most recently taking a handicap by a head at Bath off a 3lb lower mark, he now tries first-time cheekpieces on a stiffer rating; the trip and ground suit well enough.
-
Hector Crouch 18%Ralph Beckett 19%45-34No signal2/1 9/4 7/4Consistent in form throughout four outings, and open to improvement as the trip rises slightly today after appearing to want a more demanding test at Sandown last time; yet to score, but handles this going and the profile suggests more to come.

Billy Loughnane 18%David Menuisier 13%23No signal15/8 2/1 7/4Placed on both career starts, including a three-and-a-half-length third at Nottingham last time, Dark Whisper handles good ground at this distance and has a trainer in good form; every expectation he will improve on those efforts.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%Rebecca Menzies 11%527378No signal16/1 10/1 16/1Beaten seven lengths at Redcar last time over 6f, a trip that appeared beyond her, and the drop to 5f here looks a genuine improvement for her chances; first-time cheekpieces add interest, though she is yet to win in recent starts.

David Allan 13%Linda Perratt 10%0586-8No signal16/1 22/1 14/1Well beaten at Ayr 11 days ago on soft ground, a surface that does not appear to suit him, having struggled for form through much of last season; acts at 7f to 8f on good ground or an artificial surface, but plenty remains to prove.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Charlie Longsdon 16%243-24No signal11/2 11/2 9/2Has placed on several chase starts and handles today's going and trip well, with a mark that retains scope; a thumping defeat here last time when unable to control the pace is hard to ignore, and he is not wholly reliable, but runs in first-time tongue-tie.
-
Charlie Pike 7%452207No signal3/1 9/4 3/1Placed twice in recent starts and well suited to this trip and sound going; first-time hood arrives after a disappointing Bath run and, back at a course and distance that suit, she holds genuine claims as a key market rival.

Clifford Lee 17%K. R. Burke 20%851234No signal8/1 8/1 15/2Fourth at her last start, beaten four lengths off this same official mark despite being supported in the market, which was slightly below expectations; has been in improved form since a wind operation, and a return to her better level here cannot be ruled out.

John Egan 9%Michael Wigham 13%744111BBoD Whisper 1 signal5/2Three wins in his last six, including landing this race last time, make him a strong threat to add once more; he's at home on today's trip and going, the trainer is operating well, and first-time cheekpieces add extra interest — only the higher mark tests him.

TBAPaul W Flynn 9%9No signal80/1 100/1 80/1Out of contention from the outset after a very sluggish start at Leopardstown on his only run, finishing down the field, and will need a major step forward to get involved here; hard to make a case for him at this stage.

Jack Cleary 8%G. O'Leary 11%0518-9No signal20/1 28/1 14/1Won at shorter trips earlier but well held since, including a distant last here when unable to make any impression having been held up; the step up to 10f brings a stamina query, and he returns after a short break.

Shane Foley 11%—No signal22/1 22/1 20/1His only start came in a bumper at Kilbeggan where he was well beaten, and a Flat debut off a short break leaves plenty to prove. The yard's involvement is a small positive, but he faces a stiff task here.

Hector Crouch 18%Ralph Beckett 19%6548-9No signal12/1 FCST 11/1Well below par on his handicap debut at Windsor most recently, but his two-year-old form suggested rather more; effective at six furlongs on this going, he is in the hands of a strong operator at this venue and could leave that effort well behind.

Terry Casey 7%040850No signalSP FCST 10/1Badly away at Leopardstown last time and could not recover, beaten nine lengths after a tardy break; first-time blinkers are added today which should help sharpen his concentration from the stalls.

-
Wesley Joyce 6%022-02No signal4/1 7/2 4/1Placed at Leopardstown last time, beaten just a half-length off a 2lb lower mark, pointing to a return to her best after a poor run before that; effective on today's going, she makes a strong appeal as a danger despite yet to score in recent starts.
-
Luke McAteer 8%0-0No signal66/1 40/1 50/1Returning from a lengthy absence after finishing down the field at Dundalk on her most recent start, and will need to find considerably more on that evidence to play a part here; she does handle the all-weather surface, though faces a stiff task.
-
740-0No signal40/1 33/1 40/1Carries first-time tongue-tie on his return from a short break, having fallen in a maiden hurdle at Limerick most recently when already well beaten. He has questions to answer stepping back onto the Flat, though he has some rated ability to call on.
-
Shane Foley 11%3No signal6/4 18/13 3/2Showed genuine promise on her debut at Gowran Park, finishing a close third over a mile on yielding ground, and adds a tongue-tie today with a trainer who has an excellent record at this course; a filly with the scope to take a step forward.
-
Chris Hayes 10%Noel Meade 11%0No signal50/1 28/1 50/1Beaten a long way in an auction race at Fairyhouse on his only start, never really getting into contention from a rear position; the stable has a strong record in this race and he looks the type to improve when he gets into handicap company.
-
0460-7No signal40/1 16/1 40/1Chase debut at Kilbeggan 15 days ago served as a tune-up rather than a form exercise, well beaten over this trip. First-time tongue-tie applied; he has the going in his favour but has been erratic across both disciplines.

Jason Hart 14%Katie Scott 10%068242No signal7/2 6/1 7/2Placed second at Hamilton just five days ago, going within seven lengths of the winner at this trip and running to his current level; first-time visor adds interest and the mark looks fair, though he is yet to win in recent starts.
-
Paul Nolan 10%1P240-No signal13/8 11/10 31/19Hurdle outing at Cheltenham over three months ago was a below-par handicap debut — well beaten — but the view is that chasing may bring out the best in her and the hurdle mark was stiff. Effective at 2m4f with cut in the ground; top-rated here and a fresh start over fences makes sense.
-
Cian Quirke 9%5673-1No signal11/1 6/1 10/1A mare who landed a handicap at Tramore last time by over four lengths on a reduced mark, she handles today's trip and going well; her debut profile suggests she retains more to give at this level, keeping her firmly in the mix.
-
Harry Cleary 0%340P-0No signal33/1 18/1 28/1Beaten at Punchestown 48 days ago in what shaped as a fitness run, he is expected to strip sharper; acts on today's going and his performances over fences have been more convincing, making him a genuine danger despite being yet to score in his last five starts. First-time tongue-tie.
-
David Egan 14%J. S. Moore 7%-26239No signal14/1 11/1 14/1Front-running tactics backfired at Windsor last time, where she was used up early and dropped well away; her earlier form includes a couple of creditable placings at this trip, but our figures have her lowest of the seven runners.

Gavin Cromwell 11%10-508No signal7/1 17/2 7/1Beaten 4¼ lengths at Gowran Park last time in a run over a shorter trip, he goes in first-time blinkers here and handles today's conditions over this distance. He is on a competitive mark and has the profile to feature, though the trainer's current record is a note of caution.
-
Charles Bishop 10%1No signal9/4 7/4 9/4Won a novice here on debut by the narrowest margin, a promising first effort despite greenness and drifting on the undulations; handles soft ground and should take another step forward, making him the one to beat.

-
Cieren Fallon 18%Rod Millman 13%95946No signal9/2 10/1 9/2Beaten over eight lengths at Salisbury last time in a performance consistent with her recent level, her pedigree is geared to shorter trips and she should improve for that outing; a workmanlike sort with limited recent form, she faces stiff competition here.
-
Gina Mangan 11%36-235No signal2/1 5/2 32/17Equipped with first-time cheekpieces for a trainer in good current form, he has been consistent over five and six furlongs on surfaces he handles well; a six-length Bath reverse last time was a dip, but the overall record makes him a genuine threat.

Isabelle Ryder 16%—No signal28/1 20/1 25/1A Waldgeist filly purchased as a breeze-up buy, she is out of a mare who showed useful ability on the Flat but arrives from a yard whose strengths lie more on the level than in bumpers; a demanding first assignment on her racecourse debut.
-
J S Bolger 8%9-8467No signal22/1 16/1 22/1Well held in recent outings and last time was caught flat-footed out of the stalls at Leopardstown, leaving her with too much ground to make up; effective at ten furlongs on yielding ground, a clean break is a prerequisite for any chance here.

Luke Morris 12%045-60No signal33/1 20/1 28/1Nowhere near his best in a handicap at Windsor on his most recent outing, failing to find any extra when asked; his form has deteriorated and he is difficult to enthuse about at present, despite being effective on a range of going.

Linda Perratt 10%440-77No signal50/1 FCST 40/1A below-par showing here last time, beaten seven lengths, with form having gone backwards over recent starts; he acts over 5f and handles a sound surface, but a significant improvement on recent efforts would be needed to get involved.

Danny Gilligan 11%Paul W Flynn 9%50-434No signal9/1 9/1 8/1Promised a little more in the two preceding runs but was well beaten at Roscommon 22 days ago; handles 2½m with cut in the ground and the dual headgear change is a notable switch, but he is yet to score in his last five starts. First-time tongue-tie and blinkers.
-
Tom Queally 10%4-8833No signal10/1 6/1 10/1Two consecutive third-place finishes including here eight days ago show he is in consistent form at this level, and today's trip suits him well; first-time blinkers could sharpen his challenge, though he is yet to get his head in front in his last five starts.

Danny Gilligan 11%Gordon Elliott 18%2557-8No signal33/1 20/1 33/1Ranked 14th on our figures, he was well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown 23 days ago after what was essentially an introductory run. Switching to fences with first-time blinkers, effective over 2m6f to 3m; a significant step forward is required here.
-
Jason Hart 14%Katie Scott 10%5No signal28/1 28/1 25/1Sprint-bred and still learning his trade, Just For Monty pulled too hard on soft ground at Ayr on debut and faded once that energy caught up with him. Better ground and this minimum trip should help, but he has plenty to prove at this stage.

Taylor Fisher 12%Alan Jones 13%—No signal100/1 66/1 80/1Well beaten in a bumper at Uttoxeter on his latest start, Just Johnny is returning from a spell on the sidelines and has plenty to prove in this novice company; his preference for being held up means he will need things to fall right.

Zoe Lewis(7) 13%6319-0No signal40/1 16/1 40/1Beaten eight lengths at Chepstow last time, her form has been inconsistent lately despite winning earlier in the year; she handles the trip and ground, but a string of modest recent runs makes it hard to back her with confidence.

Jamie Powell 8%M D O'Callaghan 12%/1873-No signal80/1 25/1 66/1Third in a conditions event at Bellewstown on her most recent outing, she handles today's trip but returns from a layoff of around nine months and faces a strong field. Considerably more needed to make an impact at this level.

Ben Harvey 7%Cian Collins 9%6753-1No signal9/1 7/1 17/2Novice hurdle at Kelso last time ended in a wide-margin success, though it was aided by the early departure of a leading rival. Consistent overall, with more to come over fences; effective between 2m and 2m4f on any surface, returning from a short break with first-time cheekpieces.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%90P2-6No signal6/4 7/4 18/13Switches to a yard in fine current form for his British debut, with his best Irish form suggesting today's mark is workable; he set too strong a pace and found little in the tank at the finish last time, but better tactics should give a truer reflection.
-
Joanna Mason 12%42-775No signal7/1 9/2 7/1There is a sense of improving form about Keats House, and his latest effort at Redcar — fifth, beaten 5¼ lengths — showed some progression. He handles this distance and any going; if that upward curve continues he is not without a chance.

Sean Levey 13%Richard Hannon 12%—No signal20/1 11/1 18/1A Salisbury debutant by the top-class miler Space Traveller, out of the speedy Secret Liaison and a half-brother to a useful 6f performer; probably effective over today's trip on pedigree, he merits a market check before committing.
-
Michael Appleby 13%/3400-No signal6/1 3/1 11/2Returning from a lengthy absence and wearing first-time cheekpieces, he was beaten seven lengths at Bath on his comeback; he has shown he enjoys bowling along from the front and is effective over today's trip, though he has more to prove after a modest reappearance.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%243445No signal2/1 4/1 32/17Consistent in placing across a long run of recent starts, King Of The Dance handles ground conditions and the trip well, and first-time cheekpieces make him an interesting proposition; he has been beaten further than ideal lately and needs to convert those efforts into a result.

John Egan 9%Michael Wigham 13%184-31BBoDWHTW Nod 2 signals7/4Won here last time in dominant style by over 3 lengths, landing a handicap with authority; he has been in fine heart of late with his yard going well too, and first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces add interest, though a 4lb penalty for that success makes this a stiffer task.

Callum Pritchard 14%Barry Murphy 5%P0/P-UNo signal150/1 100/1 125/1Managed just one horse behind him on his hurdles introduction last year, and his subsequent outings have included pull-ups and an unseating; there is nothing to build on from either his point form or his jumping record under rules, and all the improvement must come now.

Edward Greatrex 14%75-02No signal13/2 7/2 13/2An improved effort last time, where he finished second beaten two lengths off a 2lb higher mark at Lingfield, suggests further progress is possible; effective over six furlongs, though he may require softer ground to show his best.

-
897-18No signal8/1 10/1 8/1Landed a win two runs ago and handles the trip well on a variety of ground; he lines up 1lb lower than at his most recent defeat and the mark looks manageable. Inconsistency has been an issue, but a good day could see him go close.

Ben Harvey 7%51-263No signal40/1 33/1 40/1Third at Ballinrobe 35 days ago, 11 lengths back but ridden more patiently for a positive response, suggesting she is back to form.

-
2-3111WHTW Whisper 1 signal3/1 32/17 3/1Three wins in her last five starts, most recently landing a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot under pressure; the step up in trip on her chase debut should play to her strengths and she runs in first-time hood and tongue-tie, with a trainer in temporarily poor form the main reservation.
-
9F-527No signal9/1 12/1 9/1Has chasing form that marks him out as a legitimate threat here, acting well at today's trip on a sound surface; first-time tongue-tie could help sharpen him up, though the question of whether he stayed at Hexham last time is the chief reservation alongside an inconsistent profile.
-
Luke McAteer 8%P A Fahy 6%7No signal16/1 16/1 14/1On his Flat debut at Leopardstown he was beaten nine lengths at a shorter trip, though his pedigree suggests the further stamina test of 15f suits him best. He may need the experience, but the step up in distance could eventually play to his strengths.

Edward Greatrex 14%Charlie Pike 7%93No signal10/3 9/2 11/4An improved third at Windsor last time, Lean d'Aislingean has stepped forward from his debut and carries middle-distance breeding that suggests he will continue to develop; he looks a strong danger here, though he may be better served by a longer trip in due course.
-
Dylan Kidd 4%3467-7No signal10/1 8/1 10/1That latest effort at Downpatrick 17 days ago had the look of a fitness outing and he is expected to improve; handles today's going, effective at 2–2½m, and rates a genuine threat despite being winless in his last five starts. First-time tongue-tie.
-
-94112No signal9/2 3/1 9/2On a consistent upward curve with two wins in recent starts, but he raced freely and was worn down close home most recently on a mark 2lb lower than today's; first-time tongue-tie is applied, and his breeding suggests he may ultimately want further.

Dylan Hogan 11%9-0873No signal20/1 22/1 16/1Finished third at Lingfield last time, beaten 2¼ lengths, showing encouraging improvement on recent efforts; effective across 5f to 7f and today's 6f trip should suit her, though she is yet to win in her last five and needs to build on that latest effort to go close.
-
Oliver Stammers 12%Grant Tuer 13%—No signal4/1 15/2 3/1An Ardad colt whose dam showed ability at 5f, Lexington Boom has the pedigree for this trip and represents a trainer in good form with a strong record in this race.

Kaiya Fraser 12%Harry Eustace 13%4No signal16/1 11/1 16/1Fourth on his opening start at Lingfield, beaten three lengths, Liberate showed enough ability to make him interesting here and could benefit from racing with more purpose; the current trip may prove on the shorter side in time, but he is capable of progress.

-
Ashley Lewis 14%2-6532No signal3/1 3/1 11/4Placed twice in recent starts and proven at today's trip and surface, she arrives in fair shape at a mark she is capable of competing off — the first-time tongue-tie adds interest — with a lack of recent wins the only caveat.

Keith Donoghue 13%Gavin Cromwell 11%31P-52No signal6/1 5/1 6/1Encouraging chase debut at Kilbeggan 15 days ago — second beaten 3¼ lengths despite having ground to make up, looking like he wants a stiffer test. Useful across both disciplines, likely to have more to offer over longer trips, and today's stiff track looks ideal; first-time tongue-tie applied.
-
Luke Dace 11%9-6076No signal18/1 12/1 14/1She handles this course and goes on today's surface, and a declining official mark could be in her favour — but her record shows consistent backmarker efforts and she was held without threatening at Salisbury 16 days ago; the first-time hood is the lone spark.

Alan Persse 4%P F McEnery 4%0No signal80/1 FCST 66/1Beaten a long way on her only start at Fairyhouse on debut, and the assessment is that she needs more time before she is ready to compete at this level; she remains of interest for the future but asks too much today.

Tom Buckley 6%2898-0No signal50/1 33/1 50/1Form here has disappointed this term, running out of gas down the field most recently at this venue. Effective at 2m on a sound surface, and a drop in distance is the right direction; though he faces a stiff task on his chase return, the conditions at least are suitable.
-
8PP-72No signal5/1 9/2 5/1Back to something approaching his best at Downpatrick 17 days ago, beaten only half a length off a much-reduced mark; effective at 2½–3m on today's going and rated second on our figures, he is a genuine danger despite his inconsistent record as a maiden. First-time tongue-tie.
-
David Flood 11%114154No signal17/2 11/2 17/2Three wins in his last six and a front-runner who handles today's distance and going well; off the same mark as last time when fourth, a first-time tongue-tie adds interest, though he needs to find improvement on that most recent effort.

Ashley Lewis 14%189970No signalSP 32/17 3/2Landed a race earlier this year and is effective at today's trip on suitable going; has struggled to build on that since, however, going without success in five subsequent starts, and he faces a tough task returning from a break with nothing recent to recommend him.

-
Kathy Turner 18%93No signal80/1 50/1 80/1Placed third on her most recent outing at Bath, six lengths adrift in a maiden, but has a lot of ground to make up at this level; her breeding points to 6-7f as her likely range, and she returns after a seven-week break.
-
Paul Nolan 10%/82P4-No signal9/1 5/1 9/1Back on better ground at Kilbeggan latest, fourth beaten 21 lengths in a beginners chase — a step forward for him over fences, though he has been inconsistent.

Daniel Tudhope 18%R. Mike Smith 10%664-34No signal2/1 3/1 32/17Beaten just 1¼ lengths off this very same mark at Ayr last time, Mayor Of Maghera showed enough to make him a solid contender here.

-
Chris Hayes 10%-08083No signal13/2 4/1 6/1Third at Leopardstown on his latest start, going down by four and a quarter lengths in a solid display; he handles today's trip and ground and steps out in first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces.

-
Kaiya Fraser 12%254-9No signalSP 12/1 9/1Beaten four and a half lengths at Windsor on his last outing in a performance in keeping with recent level, he returns after a short break over a trip where settling will be important; capable enough but needs more here.

He won earlier this year and leads our ratings with the mark in his favour.
-
9065-1No signal6/1 9/2 6/1A drop in class paid dividends at Limerick last time, where he landed a handicap by two and a half lengths off a reduced mark; he stays the trip well, though today's distance may be on the shorter side for his ideal conditions, and this is stiffer company.

John Egan 9%34-580No signal11/1Has form at 6/7f on a sound surface and rates a legitimate danger at a suitable mark, but she was beaten 10 lengths at Yarmouth 20 days ago and needs to recapture earlier form to figure in the finish.

-
44-4No signal10/1 6/1 8/1Consistent in his three hurdle starts, he acts on today's going and trip and tries a first-time tongue-tie; could prove a bigger threat at a shorter distance and may be the type capable of better than his maiden form suggests.
-
Ashley Lewis 14%641334No signal11/2 13/2 9/2Has shaped with promise across his last few starts, posting a win and a pair of thirds, and today's 8f trip and ground are squarely in his range; he failed to see out the distance last time but remains on the same mark, keeping him firmly in contention.

-
Andrew Balding 18%95-321No signal10/3 FCST 11/4Won a maiden at Windsor last time and has shown a positive trajectory, with his official mark appearing lenient for a horse that stays this trip; the quicker ground today might not bring out his best on turf, which is the main reservation.

Gavin Cromwell 11%6No signal8/1 10/1 8/1Beaten just over 5 lengths on his debut at Fairyhouse but the trip was likely too short given his breeding for 7f and beyond, and the step up in distance today looks a clear positive; he can improve for that run and has leading-danger claims.

Daniel Tudhope 18%Edward Bethell 17%056-26No signal10/3 5/2 3/1Beaten seven lengths at Carlisle 43 days ago when soft ground appeared beyond him; quicker conditions today look a genuine plus, and the mark is now more manageable, though the trainer's yard has struggled for results recently and a return to form is needed.
-
41-493No signal16/1 11/1 16/1Third at Clonmel 25 days ago after taking the field along at his own pace and perhaps going a bit too hard; there was ability on show despite the margin. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft or good, and the switch to fences could unlock further improvement.

Darragh Keenan 10%Rod Millman 13%3-8No signal66/1 22/1 66/1Beaten at Windsor last time in line with recent form, Next Guilian has little to recommend him here on current evidence and his previous experience on the continent yielded little of note; softer conditions would suit him better.

J J Slevin 13%01000-No signal28/1 20/1 25/1A significant step backwards in first-time headgear at Punchestown nearly six months ago, trailing in well beaten, and a major improvement is needed on his return to fences. Effective from 2m to 2m6f on any surface; the switch back to chasing may help.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Richard Hannon 12%31-581No signal11/8 9/4 5/4Won a handicap at York on a 6lb lower mark and dropping in class last time; effective at eight to ten furlongs and acts on this going, though his inconsistent profile means more is needed off the revised mark.

Adam Caffrey 9%William Durkan 13%5SSteamer Whisper 1 signal12/1 33/1 12/1Beaten a long way on his only start at the Curragh after a tardy exit from the stalls, though he plugged on to finish fifth; a good deal of improvement is needed if he is to factor here.
-
3-4No signal9/2 13/2 7/2Showed more over a longer trip at this course last time and is unexposed enough over hurdles to continue developing; his best flat form has come entirely on the all-weather, and the trainer's yard is yet to fire in the past fortnight.
-
Jake Dickson 12%Tim Easterby 11%213591No signal2/1 7/4 2/1Perfidia landed a handicap by a length off this exact mark at Nottingham five days ago and comes here in first-time cheekpieces without a penalty. He handles this trip and going; the one caveat is that it was an apprentice contest, which tempers confidence slightly.
-
Ashley Lewis 14%512-62No signal7/2 9/4 7/2Second just three days ago at a shorter trip and proven at today's distance on fast ground — stepping back up to 7f looks a positive move, and the first-time cheekpieces add interest; the quick turnaround is the only query.

Luke McAteer 8%P F O'Donnell 12%080-00No signal80/1 40/1 66/1Struggled in each of his last five outings, including a well-beaten effort at the Curragh most recently; he now tries a first-time tongue-tie and handles seven furlongs. Improvement is needed before he can feature, even in handicap company at this level.
-
2693-5No signal17/2 15/2 17/2Comfortably held at Tramore 32 days ago in what appeared a fitness run; her earlier form has been backed up in places and the mark is fair, but inconsistency is a recurring concern and she is yet to score in her last five starts. Effective at 2m on today's going.
-
Jack Doughty 13%Charlie Clover 21%61No signal11/1 8/1 10/1Showed clear progression when taking a seller at Chester by a length last time, overcoming positional difficulties on the way; her combination of a sprint sire and a stamina-oriented dam suggests she has more to give, though better company awaits.
-
Tony Carroll 13%757961No signal15/2 11/2 15/2Won a classified race at Bath last time by three-quarters of a length and clearly has an affinity with Brighton; the step up to 6f is worth noting as he seems most effective at an easy 5f, though his trainer is strong at this course and first-time hood keeps him involved.
-
—No signal40/1 16/1 33/1A Good Effort colt whose dam was fair over a mile and a quarter and a half-brother to a useful 8f performer; his trainer is in good heart at present and a market check is worth taking before the off.
-
James Owen 18%-07423No signal2/1 4/1 2/1Placed on two of her three most recent outings, including a near-miss at this course eight days ago over today's trip — she handles these conditions and the first-time tongue-tie may bring further improvement, though she is yet to win in recent starts.
-
7P-920No signal14/1 22/1 14/1His latest run at Roscommon came on ground that went against him, yet he shaped with more promise than the finishing position suggests; first-time tongue-tie is fitted, he favours today's trip and going, and the mark he carries looks workable if this sees an upturn.

Zoe Lewis(7) 13%Thomas Faulkner 12%787361No signalSP 10/3 11/2Prince Ali won at Chepstow last time by a neck and comes here in solid form, well suited to the distance; first-time cheekpieces are a new addition and he will need to settle to make the most of his clear advantages.

Ciaran Gethings 11%Alastair Ralph 12%2122-4No signal10/1 17/2 9/1In form over hurdles with a string of placed efforts before the latest, he wears first-time cheekpieces and the trip and ground suit well; tiring late at Worcester on his comeback suggests he can build on that now.

Wesley Joyce 6%70-030No signal16/1 25/1 12/1Third two runs ago but well beaten at Down Royal on her most recent start, unable to build on that effort; effective over seven furlongs and has form at today's track. Without a win in recent starts, a return to that earlier level is what she needs.
-
Mark Rimell 12%4No signal6/1Caught the eye on debut at Worcester, rallying late once she found her stride despite finishing 16 lengths fourth in an Amateurs' bumper; acts at 2m on good and runs in first-time tongue-tie, with a trainer in fine form and clear room for improvement on the first run.
-
Joe Leavy 11%J. S. Moore 7%1-4738No signal40/1 22/1 40/1A clear effort to forget at Lingfield last time on what appeared to be unsuitable soft ground; first-time cheekpieces are added today and she runs off her last winning mark, but her inconsistent profile keeps her at the back of our assessment.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%Ed Walker 16%455-39No signal5/1 12/1 5/1Beaten eight lengths at Wolverhampton last time in a modest dip of form, she is bred for this sort of distance and has placed on several occasions in recent starts; must learn to relax to show her best, but earlier form warrants respect.
-
Carl Millar 11%Paul Nolan 10%64P7-7No signal8/1 12/1 8/1Well beaten at Limerick 40 days ago without clear mitigation; his earlier career form was promising but he has not built on it and his record in recent starts is short on encouragement.

James Ryan 7%M A Molloy 7%66-No signal18/1 10/1 18/1His most recent effort came in a hurdle on very testing ground where he was never a factor, but that run may not reflect his true ability on a sounder surface.

Oliver Stammers 12%Ben Haslam 14%5-5187No signal28/1 14/1 25/1Well beaten at Ripon 12 days ago in a performance that may have served as a comeback run after a break; won at 6f to 7f and has handled fast ground, with ability still to demonstrate — the trainer's yard has been finding form hard to come by of late.
-
Greg Fairley 6%Ewan Whillans 11%235636No signal10/1 10/1 9/1Beaten six lengths at Carlisle 15 days ago in his second run back on turf, unable to match his better performances on an artificial surface; handles this trip on any going, prefers cut in the ground, and the mark keeps easing — but turf form this season has been disappointing.
-
Shane Foley 11%04-582No signal7/1 5/1 7/1Second at Gowran Park on his latest outing, beaten twelve lengths but claiming the runner-up spot, and now fitted with first-time cheekpieces in a bid to improve; effective over today's trip and going. The mark looks workable and he could be competitive if that headgear brings the desired sharpening.
-
6No signal50/1 40/1 50/1Beaten well on her only start at the Curragh, where she appeared to struggle with the testing ground conditions, but returns from a break with first-time cheekpieces today and her effort at 7f suggested she can do better on sounder going.

George Bass 12%Jack Channon 14%6-0013No signal9/2 11/4 4/1Took a handicap by half a length at Salisbury two starts ago, then followed that with a placed effort last time off a mark just below today's; speedily bred and effective at this trip, he escapes a penalty and holds strong claims.

Harry Atkins 11%Dan Skelton 22%3-41No signal4/7 8/13 9/17Landed a bumper at Worcester by 1¼ lengths last time, going away comfortably at the finish; effective at 2m on good ground and the trainer in sharp form, she is well placed to defy the penalty on this step back up to the trip.
-
Gavin Cromwell 11%1P4-UUNo signal33/1 16/1 33/1Exit from a novice chase at Roscommon 22 days ago when already under pressure masks a horse who can do better over fences, particularly now the trip is increased.

Rose Dawes 13%Denis Coakley 11%/0007-No signal33/1 22/1 33/1Returning from a 299-day break, she has shown limited ability in her last few runs including a beaten effort at Lingfield most recently — the long absence makes this a big ask, though she handles today's trip and wears a first-time hood.
-
Liam McKenna 6%P Cluskey 4%268-P8No signal28/1 25/1 28/1Well held at Kilbeggan over hurdles 15 days ago but clearly a better performer in the chasing sphere; effective at 3m on today's going and a consistent competitor over fences, he rates a fair midfield chance despite being winless in his last five starts. First-time cheekpieces.

M. P. Sheehy 8%Adrian Keatley 15%4524-9No signal28/1 12/1 25/1Below par on his seasonal reappearance at Kempton, Rochfortbridge is a sturdy type with a good attitude and his trainer is in excellent form.

Darragh O'Keeffe 13%1634-1No signal11/10 31/19 11/10Won a handicap hurdle at Listowel last month by 3 lengths, form that underlines his hurdles credentials ahead of his chasing bow.

-
A. McCann 8%712-33No signal9/1 8/1 9/1Third at Downpatrick 16 days ago — 8½ lengths back but with every chance — and she arrives here in good heart having shown form over both hurdles and fences recently. Effective at 2½m on decent ground, with a first-time tongue-tie; she remains a genuine danger.
-
Harry Davies 13%James Owen 18%92-442No signal9/4 2/1 9/4Finished a close second here last time, beaten just half a length off a mark 1lb lower than today's; well suited to the mile on sound going and now in first-time cheekpieces, she is the clear pick at the head of the figures.

Carl Millar 11%Paul Nolan 10%0708-5No signal9/1 10/1 9/1A mare who showed more over hurdles in the past but whose form has faded in recent starts, she was comfortably held in a beginners chase at Limerick 40 days ago; effective at around 3m, and first-time tongue-tie and blinkers offer a revival angle, though recent starts are short on encouragement.
-
Taylor Fisher 12%852708No signal9/1 11/1 9/1Well beaten last time in a handicap at Windsor, he remains without a win in recent starts and has shown only moderate form over six furlongs; the easing mark offers some hope, but significantly more is needed to trouble the principals here.

Saffie Osborne 14%884346No signal14/1 9/1 14/1Posted a third in his last six starts and is suited to today's trip and going conditions here; his most recent appearance at this course was a well-beaten one and a step forward is required, but his form earlier in the season was stronger and a place chance is not out of the question.
-
Aidan Kelly 9%643-8UNo signal12/1 6/1 11/1Unseated at Punchestown 24 days ago after a promising run of form that suggested the mark could still be workable; effective at 2½–3m and handles today's going, but the mishap last time raises a question over confidence and he has yet to score in recent starts.

Ben Harvey 7%D M Christie 5%F-4584No signalSP 11/1 14/1Finished fourth at Downpatrick 17 days ago, coping better with the step up in trip; effective at 2m4f–3m on a sound surface, which applies today, but inconsistency is a recurring issue and he is yet to score in his last five starts. First-time blinkers could help him focus.
-
Henry Candy 12%240-77No signal10/1Lowest-rated on our figures and has a patchy record, with a well-beaten effort at Chepstow 15 days ago the most recent evidence; he handles up to today's trip and ground, but a return to his occasional better form is needed to trouble these.

-
Billy Garritty 11%-31649No signal50/1 28/1 50/1Well below his best at Bath most recently, finishing down the field 57 days ago, and a significant step up in form is needed; tends to travel prominently and acts on artificial surfaces, with first-time visor fitted and lines up from draw 9.

Ryan Kavanagh 11%Barry Murphy 5%13-831No signal3/1 7/2 3/1In good form, she landed a handicap by a head at Bath last time from a mark 2lb lower than today's; handles fast ground and the trip, and the current rating looks fair for a mare with two wins in her last five starts.

Jack Kennedy 23%Gordon Elliott 18%63-223WHTW Whisper 1 signal11/4 FCST 5/2Third at Roscommon last time on softer going than he prefers, where he was ridden too prominently; he handles the trip and is at his best on decent ground, first-time tongue-tie is added, and while a handicap context may suit better in time, he could still be a threat.
-
Keith Donoghue 13%45-162No signal11/2 7/2 11/2Won by five lengths at Downpatrick three starts ago off this mark and followed up with a runner-up finish there most recently; well treated on hurdle form and largely unexplored in this sphere, she is rated top on our figures and is the one to beat. First-time tongue-tie.

J S Bolger 8%42No signal5/4 18/13 6/5Ran a bold race at Leopardstown on her latest start, beaten only a nose in second, and confirms she handles 7f well on a sound surface; with first-time cheekpieces added today, she has strong claims on that evidence.
-
5No signal8/1 13/2 8/1Caught the eye with a promising debut at this track, beaten 3 lengths in an auction race here and running on to suggest there is more to offer; a top trainer with an excellent record at this venue can draw more from her at the second attempt.

Iain Jardine 12%700804No signal12/1 10/1 11/1Better on the all-weather earlier in the year, Second Fiddle's turf mark now looks very stiff; fourth beaten 8 lengths at Hamilton last time confirmed as much. First-time tongue-tie is an unknown and a trainer in form gives her a small chance, but she has plenty to find.

Paul Nolan 10%FP9-4PNo signal33/1 18/1 33/1Unable to see out the trip at Punchestown 24 days ago; his form has been well below expectations all season and stamina over this distance is an open question. Hard to fancy, though first-time blinkers give him something fresh to work with.

Andrew Balding 18%—No signal12/1 5/1 11/1A 70,000gns Kameko colt out of a dam who showed her worth over middle distances; from a top trainer with a strong record with juveniles, he merits a market check and should be respected on debut.

Slattery 11%—No signal22/1 16/1 22/1A 25,000-euro Sergei Prokofiev colt who is a half-brother to Degale, a useful performer at a mile, and has top jockey support on debut; others among the first-timers appear to have stronger credentials, though the pedigree suggests he may progress with experience.
-
Chris Hayes 10%84000-No signal40/1 25/1 40/1Lightly tried at today's course and distance with form showing he handles cut in the ground, he returns from a lengthy absence having finished well down the field at Dundalk most recently. He can show improvement on his day, though inconsistency remains a concern.
-
Luke Catton 12%Alan King 16%0No signal150/1 100/1 150/1Finished down the field at Windsor on his Flat debut, but a more testing race may have been what he needed; first-time hood is applied today and the trainer is currently in good form, though making the step up from bumper level takes time.
-
A. Slattery 11%18-699No signal25/1 16/1 22/1Won over a mile on her best distance but has struggled since, including a poor effort at Gowran Park where she was too free early; she returns here after a short break still 3lb above her last successful mark, and sound going at least plays to her strengths.
-
52P-71No signal13/2 9/2 13/2Took a handicap hurdle at Listowel 29 days ago by three parts of a length after a drop in grade, and she is still progressing in this sphere; effective at 2–2½m on today's going and largely unexposed over fences, she is a strong danger to the selection.

Murtagh 11%211-66No signal8/1 10/1 7/1A Group 2 at the Curragh last time saw her beaten close to 10 lengths when running to handicap level, but the trainer is in good form and she reappears in first-time cheekpieces. Effective over today's trip with plenty of give in the ground, she is respected.
-
Alexandra Egan 14%7-4528No signal11/2 11/4 11/2Showed a 2nd in recent starts so there is ability here; yet to win in her last five, though, and a poor Leicester effort latest raises questions, while today's 8f and good-to-firm going go against what she seems best suited to.

First-time cheekpieces applied; there is potential for progress over further on his switch to fences but he needs to improve considerably to be competitive.
-
David Probert 13%Emma Lavelle 18%21-127No signal3/1 10/3 5/2Won at Bath by a short margin three starts back and ran with credit until an off-day in stronger company last time; wearing a first-time tongue-tie and back in softer grade, 1lb below her last winning mark, she looks a live threat on a sound surface.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Ian Williams 11%34-600No signal10/3 13/2 10/3Beaten in the rear in his last two outings, he tries a first-time visor here; the official mark has eased, which offers some hope, but a significant step forward is needed to trouble the leading rivals.
-

-
Nicola Burns 7%R P Burns 6%5/000/No signal80/1Returning from an absence of well over two years, she has been running at a consistently poor level in recent starts and was down the field at Navan last time. Faces a considerable task from a mark of 32 on this comeback.

David Allan 13%Linda Perratt 10%8-8953No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Performed to his current level here just eight days ago, finishing third and going within two lengths of the leader off this exact official mark, with 5f as his best trip; first-time cheekpieces add an interesting angle, though a small further step is still needed.
-

-
Fern O'Brien 14%Fergal O'Brien 15%31F3-3No signal3/1 3/1 5/2Ran close to form when beaten three lengths at Market Rasen last time and a sound surface clearly suits; however, his trainer is badly out of form, he sits among the lower-rated in the field, and more improvement is needed here.
-
Gina Mangan 11%Tony Carroll 13%00-08No signal50/1 22/1 50/1Well beaten in her last four starts, Snow Day is bottom-rated in this field and faces a stiff task; an eighth at Bath last time was a marginal improvement on previous outings, and her pedigree suggests the mile trip is at least not against her.
-
Gina Mangan 11%Nikki Evans 7%8812-8No signal12/1 15/2 11/1A 105-day absence follows a 10-length defeat at Wolverhampton, where he fell away sharply after showing better form before that; an unforgiving handicap mark and the need to recapture earlier promise make this a difficult ask on his comeback.
-
W. P. Mullins 26%1/2FP-No signal15/2 10/3 15/2His jumping completely broke down when pulled up at Punchestown last time, accounting for two non-completions in recent starts; he looked a smart prospect earlier in his hurdles career and handles today's trip and going, with his trainer firing well and giving him every chance to respond.

Charlie O'Dwyer 10%Conor O'Dwyer 10%41790-No signal10/1 22/1 9/1Back from a lengthy absence, he won on his chase debut but that success may have been flattered by the nature of the race; he was well held at Leopardstown since, and first-time tongue-tie is the change here, though our figures rank him at the foot of the field.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%-22973No signal2/1 5/2 32/17Third at York 17 days ago in a performance that matched his best level, beaten just over two lengths off this official mark on a sound surface at his ideal 7f trip; yet to win in recent starts but rates well clear of the field and is the one to beat.
-
G. M. Lyons 16%03-036No signal13/2 6/1 13/2Held comfortably in a handicap at Leopardstown last time in a run below his best, he carries first-time tongue-tie from stall 10. He handles today's trip and conditions and the trainer is in good form, though a turnaround from that display is needed.
-
Gavin Cromwell 11%2P65-2No signal6/1 5/1 11/2Back to her best at Killarney last time, going down by just half a length in a handicap chase after being caught late — a run that shows she is in good form despite remaining maiden over fences.

-
Kyle McHugh 7%R. Mike Smith 10%77-763No signal9/2 9/4 4/1Showed an improved effort over course and distance last time, going down by just half a length off this same official mark at extended 12f; this trip clearly agrees with her and conditions suit, though she is yet to win in recent starts.
-
Michael Appleby 13%076-89No signal25/1 18/1 25/1Suited to today's trip and going, and first-time blinkers could prompt a change of direction after a run of disappointing efforts; he has been well off his best in recent outings so improvement is needed, but the conditions are right and the headgear change keeps him involved.
-
770522No signal3/1 11/4 3/1Runner-up twice in her last three starts, including at Brighton last time, Spirited Dancer has found form on a consistent surface and appears to be on an upward curve; first-time cheekpieces add appeal, though she is arguably at her best over a shorter trip.
-
A. Slattery 11%76No signal40/1 33/1 40/1Matched her debut level at Gowran Park most recently, held comfortably in the latter half of the field, and the shorter trip today looks a negative for her profile; the trainer is also in a lean spell at present.

David Probert 13%Martyn Meade 16%—No signal16/1 9/1 14/1By Advertise, out of a dam who showed pace at two and a half-brother to a useful 6f performer; likely to need this experience to fully fire, he is one to watch develop with racing.
-
Colin Keane 16%Ralph Beckett 19%—No signal4/6 5/6 4/7A Frankel colt out of a dam who was sharp over 7f as a juvenile, representing a trainer with an excellent course record — the yard has landed this race twice in the last nine runnings; he looks a likely type and merits a market check.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%37-No signal4/5 5/6 2/3A useful flat performer now with a top yard after a breathing operation, he shapes as one with considerably more to offer over hurdles; the last run at Catterick, where he bled, can be set aside, and his trainer is among the busiest in form.
-
W. J. Lee 16%K J Condon 11%-65022No signal5/2A close second at Gowran Park on her latest start, finishing just half a length adrift over a mile, and she handles varied going across a range of trips; now adding a first-time visor with the top course jockey aboard, she has genuine claims.
-
17-516No signal5/6 6/5 4/5Well beaten in a Group 2 at Chester last time after being asked to make up too much ground, he is better judged on his earlier form, having landed a race earlier in the campaign. The trainer has a strong record at this venue and Starford is the one to beat.
-
Harry Davies 13%Michael Appleby 13%-29435No signal11/1 6/1 11/1Handles this course particularly well and was beaten only three lengths here in recent starts, with a step up in trip looking a potential plus; first-time cheekpieces add a small angle, though an out-of-form trainer and a patchy record keep confidence measured.
-
Charles Bishop 10%2-4681No signal9/1Landed a handicap at Bath last time with a smooth passage through the field, but that came off a mark 5lb below today's; he handles the trip and ground, yet faces a stiffer task against better-rated rivals on these figures.
-
9-25No signalSP 11/2 7/1Held at Down Royal last time but effective over today's distance and conditions, he attracts a top jockey and lines up in first-time blinkers, which could sharpen the response. He has the ability to make his presence felt here.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Micky Hammond 10%/355-1No signal3/1 9/4 3/1Landed a handicap here last time by 2¼ lengths off a lower mark, though the success owed something to fortune when a rival departed late; she handles this trip and going, runs in first-time cheekpieces, and her Flat background suggests more could yet be drawn out over hurdles.
-
Rhys Elliott 7%Jim Goldie 14%89-096No signal28/1 16/1 25/1A disappointing display at Hamilton 13 days ago, beaten 10 lengths, adding to a run of below-par efforts; her trainer does have a strong record at this track, but she has yet to produce any consistent showings and remains hard to recommend.

0-No signal150/1 125/1 150/1Beaten a long way on her only start at Naas and is returning from a very lengthy absence, making assessment difficult; she will need a dramatic improvement to get involved here.
-
Jason Watson 13%2-32No signal8/11 4/7 8/13Close second at Windsor on his latest start, beaten only a length, with his debut form since boosted by those he ran against; he acts well on fast ground and rates a colt of genuine potential at the top of our figures.
-
Sam James 14%K. R. Burke 20%-13893No signal11/2 6/1 11/2Returned to form when beaten a neck off 85 last time — just 2lb below today's mark — a solid benchmark. He stays this trip, handles the going, and his trainer won this race last year; the mark is tight, but there is encouragement here.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%100-32No signal11/2 4/1 11/2Narrowly out-battled at Goodwood last time on a mark 1lb below today's, so the form is in the right place; first-time cheekpieces today add interest, and he handles the fast ground at five to six furlongs.
-
TBAPP2P9-No signalSP 20/1 22/1Off for 85 days after over-racing at Cork and fading badly; a maiden over hurdles with plenty to prove in this sphere, he has yet to score in his last five starts and is hard to fancy, though the reduced mark offers a sliver of hope.
-
TBAA. Slattery 11%8No signalSP 33/1 28/1Beaten 6 lengths on his debut at Down Royal in an auction race, and a forward step is both anticipated and needed if he is to get competitive here; he has the profile of a colt capable of improving as the season progresses.
-
Danny Gilligan 11%Gordon Elliott 18%P/PU-5No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Left behind by the pace at Listowel last month in a mares' hurdle, a run that served as a confidence-builder over today's conditions. Effective at 2m with scope for longer trips, and first-time blinkers may sharpen her up; she has the ability to be competitive here.

R. P. Whelan 9%K J Condon 11%9-528No signal17/2 6/1 17/2Uncharacteristically well beaten at Limerick last time after a sequence of more encouraging form, she now tries a first-time visor and handles today's distance and conditions well. There could be more to offer if she returns to her better level.
-
Rob Hornby 12%David O'Meara 13%40-751No signal15/2 11/4 7/1In good form, she took a five-furlong handicap by a nose off the same mark at Beverley last time; now equipped with a first-time hood, her profile suggests there may be more to offer at this trip than her wider record implies.
-
Charlie O'Dwyer 10%Conor O'Dwyer 10%6245-1No signal11/2 9/2 11/2A winner here 45 days ago by two and a half lengths, she has taken well to staying trips and steps into chasing with more to offer; effective at 2m3f–3m on today's going and rated top on our figures, she is the one to beat. First-time cheekpieces.
-
Kielan Woods 14%Dan Skelton 22%30-811No signal1/2 5/14 2/5Landed back-to-back races most recently, including a six-length success at Uttoxeter off a lower mark, and remains well treated against his hurdle form; he likes to bowl along at the front and today's distance suits, with his trainer firing at a remarkable 50%.
-
Georgia Dobie 10%Jamie Osborne 12%8No signal100/1 66/1 80/1Beaten a long way on debut at Wolverhampton, never getting into contention having been unsettled early; speedily bred but yet to show ability to match that pedigree, and has plenty to find against this field.
-
William Carver 10%Jamie Osborne 12%7No signal100/1 40/1 80/1Never threatened in a novice here on debut, dropping away having been left behind early; his mixed sprint and stamina pedigree hints a longer trip may suit him better, and this represents a tough assignment.
-
Paul Nolan 10%88P4-2No signal5/1 5/1 9/2Second here last time beaten just over a length, she handles both the course and today's going; first-time hood is fitted and she may benefit from a more demanding test in time, but there is enough ability on show to suggest she can make her presence felt.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%292145No signal4/1 10/3 4/1Won at Goodwood three starts back, looking in good nick for a spell before running far too freely to do himself justice on his latest outing; back on the same mark and adding cheekpieces for the first time, he is capable of better over this trip on any going.
-
045P-0No signal25/1 FCST 22/1Out of form in recent starts and well beaten at Punchestown last time, he typically races held up and handles a trip around two and a half miles; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are fitted, but his figures suggest he has plenty to find to get involved.
-
62-905No signal4/1 6/1 4/1She landed this race 12 months ago and remains progressive over today's trip with plenty of cut, but was beaten nine lengths at Ballinrobe just eight days ago, struggling for pace. Her mark is gradually easing and she could step forward, but a turnaround is needed.
-
Paul O'Flynn 12%6/4-58No signal14/1Overextended himself at Listowel 31 days ago by racing too freely in a hurdle; he is far more interesting over fences where he is still lightly tried and open to progress, and first-time cheekpieces could help him find a rhythm despite being winless in his last four starts.
-
Tom Cannon 18%483-3No signal25/1 28/1 22/1Made a string of jumping mistakes and faded on his chase debut at Warwick, finishing well beaten; he has scope to do better over fences and wears first-time tongue-tie, though that introductory showing leaves questions to answer.
-
Rian Corcoran 16%David Pipe 16%5-42No signal5/1Has point-to-point experience, most recently runner-up 13 lengths back in a maiden at Tattersalls Farm; that contact time over jumps and scope for further progress make her an interesting player on her rules debut here.

-
Rowan Scott 11%Charlie Johnston 13%00-048No signal10/1 12/1 10/1Ideally suited by this trip and a sound surface, Thunder Wonder has fair ability but needs to relax far better than at Newmarket last time, when he ran well below his best. Conditions favour him and his mark has eased, but settling from the start is crucial.
-
Hughie Morrison 12%05No signal50/1 25/1 50/1Comfortably held in a maiden at Goodwood last time, Tinkety Tonk showed a minor improvement from his previous effort but remains difficult to recommend with confidence; his trainer is in good form, which provides at least some basis for hope.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Ian Williams 11%-13150No signal5/2 11/2 5/2Down the field at Yarmouth on his most recent start, he had won twice in his last five starts; first-time cheekpieces applied here and he has made notable all-weather strides, suggesting the current mark could be workable.
-
0-0042No signal11/4 FCST 5/2A half-length second at Down Royal last time off a 2lb lower mark, his most promising recent effort; he tries a first-time visor and the mark looks fair based on that form. Without a win in recent starts, he could be competitive if he builds on that showing.
-
Darragh O'Keeffe 13%420-52No signal5/1 3/1 5/1Second at Kilbeggan on his most recent start, he shaped well enough stepped up in trip; first-time cheekpieces are fitted and his trainer is in sharp current form, though he remains yet to win in recent outings and needs to improve to feature.
-
David Egan 14%Charlie Fellowes 11%40No signal3/1 4/1 3/1Acquitted himself respectably when fourth on debut before stepping up to a Group 2 at Ascot last time, where he was beaten nine lengths; effective over today's trip on a sound surface, he remains open to development and should fare better back in this company.
-
Tom Dreaper 3%/14P1-No signal9/1 15/2 17/2Won a novice at Fairyhouse by twenty lengths last time and has multiple wins from points, but has yet to make that form tell over fences under Rules and this competitive handicap looks a stiff enough test; effective at 2½–3m, with first-time tongue-tie applied.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%434733No signal4/7 Evs 4/7Consistent and dependable, Turnstile filled a place when a close third at York last time and handles this trip on a sound surface. While 5f on fast ground may bring out the best in him, his reliability gives him a clear edge in this field.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%-55076No signal25/1 16/1 25/1Suited by today's trip and goes on any surface, but he had every chance when beaten five lengths at this course 21 days ago and has been far from reliable in recent starts; first-time cheekpieces are the one change that could make a difference.
-
Julie Camacho 11%537-18No signal18/1 8/1 18/1Two B Tanned won here off a mark 8lb lower on her penultimate outing but has disappointed since stepping up in class, and the current mark looks stiff. First-time hood and cheekpieces add uncertainty; front-running tactics suit, but she needs to find significantly more.
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%51-712BBoD Whisper 1 signal7/4 32/17 7/4Back in form since changing yards, landing a 10-length win at Huntingdon off a lower mark; he goes well over today's trip and going, remains generously treated on his best form, and his trainer is firing well.

-
Laura Hourigan 14%-51110No signal14/1 16/1 14/1Three consecutive victories before a poor run at Lingfield last time, from which he returns to turf off a competitive mark from stall 6. His earlier form demonstrates he handles today's conditions and he looks capable of bouncing back here.
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Debra Hamer 15%—No signal33/1 16/1 22/1A daughter of Linda's Lad whose dam landed a bumper, she is also a half-sister to a useful staying performer; her racecourse debut here means she is best watched rather than backed at this stage.
-
426-45No signal28/1 18/1 25/1Course and distance experience is in his favour, and the last outing was below his best — he should come on considerably from it; a trip and going within his range, and the type to step forward.

-
Harry Davies 13%Michael Appleby 13%246044No signal7/4 10/3 7/4Fourth when beaten 5 lengths at Beverley last time, posting a solid effort on going that suits; he tops the ratings here and a first-time visor could provide the added edge needed in this classified race — yet to win in his last six, but he rates the selection on the figures.
-
Leigh Roche 6%Emmet Mullins 14%667-07No signal18/1 22/1 16/1Trailing the field at Down Royal on his most recent outing after failing to land a blow off the pace; five outings without a placing in recent starts and improvement is clearly needed. Some stamina in the breeding at least gives hope over this trip.
-
75-946No signal9/2 6/1 4/1Effective at 7f on a sound surface and the first-time cheekpieces add a small interest angle, but she failed to settle last time and ran below form at Lingfield 35 days ago — needs to produce more here to threaten.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Mark Loughnane 10%—No signal33/1 18/1 33/1A 28,000gns breeze-up purchase by Wootton Bassett, Vincenzo Bellini carries the breeding interest of a high-class dam over seven furlongs as a juvenile, which is appealing for this trip on paper; his trainer is currently out of form, which tempers expectations on debut.
-
David Probert 13%9-8No signal80/1 50/1 66/1Well beaten in both starts so far, though he went up in trip at Windsor latest and showed a step forward from his debut; bred for middle distances, he may have more to offer, but the real progress is likely to come in handicap company.
-
Shane Foley 11%G. O'Leary 11%13422-No signal9/1 11/2 17/2A consistent performer who went down by three-quarters of a length at Dundalk last time, she is effective at a mile and handles today's ground well. Returning from a lengthy absence from stall 12 is the main question, but her form line is solid.
-
Jack Callan 14%333089No signal9/1 10/1 17/2A sequence of thirds earlier in his last six shows ability here for this trip and ground, and a reduced official mark eases the task somewhat; however, he was left behind at Kempton last time and first-time cheekpieces will need to trigger a better showing.

Marco Ghiani 16%Tony Carroll 13%5-5901No signal4/1 13/2 4/1Won at this course last time by a neck in a classified race, a career highlight on ground that clearly suits; a top handler at this venue gives him strong prospects of a repeat, though he needs to build on what was his best recent effort to follow up.
-
Amie Waugh 6%Jim Goldie 14%442162No signal6/4 7/4 18/13Narrow runner-up here just eight days ago, going down by a neck off this same official mark on a sound surface, and the trip clearly suits; in solid form coming into this, wears a first-time hood, and lines up from draw 8.
-
Danny Gilligan 11%Gordon Elliott 18%45P0-4No signal9/1 8/1 9/1Out of form and beaten a very long way at Punchestown last time, where he was sent too far ahead on his chase debut and failed to last home; he handles the trip and acts with cut in the ground, and first-time cheekpieces may help him settle better.
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Seamus Mullins 11%09U-45No signal10/1 12/1 10/1Had his chance at Worcester last time and ran to his level, finishing 9¼ lengths back in a handicap hurdle; acts on good ground at 2m and the rating edge is workable if he builds on that recent outing and shows greater consistency.
-
Cam Hardie 6%474331No signal9/2 10/3 9/2Won at Ripon 13 days ago, getting the better of the field by a length off a lower official mark in a smooth display at 5f; the trip and ground both suit her, and she is clearly in form — the one to beat from draw 10.
-
Jimmy Dalton 5%A. Slattery 11%—No signal50/1 33/1 50/1A 10,000-euro Inns Of Court colt with a dam who showed decent ability at 7f as a juvenile; he looks likely to need more experience before becoming competitive, and the overall picture points to this being one to follow rather than support on debut.
-
Gavin Cromwell 11%8No signal25/1 20/1 25/1Beaten around 10 lengths on her debut at Gowran Park but did display a hint of ability in the process; she needs to find considerably more to make an impact here and improvement is clearly required.
-
Cian Quirke 9%116-97No signal9/1 14/1 7/1He became overexcited up in trip at Punchestown last time and failed to see it out; first-time tongue-tie is fitted and two miles looks more suitable, but he has something to prove on his switch to fences despite wins on his recent record.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%9-7850No signal4/1 3/1 4/1Beaten over eight lengths at Doncaster 16 days ago, appearing to have been ridden too prominently for her own good in that race; first-time cheekpieces and an easing mark are positives, and she has the ability to go better — returning to form is the key question.
-
Lee Edwards 9%Dylan Cunha 13%636-39No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Struggled at Uttoxeter last time, fading into the back of the field after a string of jumping mistakes in a handicap hurdle; he handles good ground at 2m and is still finding his feet in handicap company, though a trainer badly out of form does not help his case.
-
Amie Waugh 6%0-0530No signal25/1 14/1 22/1Beaten a long way at Catterick last time out, Without Delay needs to show a great deal more to be a factor here. She handles this trip on any ground and first-time cheekpieces are fitted, but her recent efforts offer little encouragement.

David Noonan 8%Barry Murphy 5%229-66No signal66/1 40/1 50/1Showed her best form earlier in the season when placed on a couple of occasions, but has tailed off recently and went too freely at Newton Abbot last time before fading; she handles today's trip and has enough ability to feature but inconsistency has been an issue.

-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%4/6No signal6/1 7/1 11/2Beaten 8l at Windsor last time after a below-par effort, but that run should have sharpened him up; bred to get 10f or more and our figures rate him second of the field, though he may ultimately find his level in handicaps.
-
Fern O'Brien 14%Fergal O'Brien 15%/57P-3No signal12/1 10/1 12/1Shaped encouragingly at Cartmel last time, moving smoothly but failing to find the extra gear when pressed, finishing 9½ lengths third in a handicap hurdle; effective at 2m but form has been patchy of late and a trainer out of form is a further concern.
-
TBA0083-PNo signalSP 12/1 16/1Something appeared to be amiss when she was pulled up in a handicap at Cork last time; two runs prior she had finished third, and she handles seven furlongs. That experience leaves a question mark and fitness needs to be established before she can be backed with confidence.
No horse matches that.
