Taylor Fisher 12%Joe Tickle 11%7880-8No signal80/1 40/1 50/1Well beaten at this track most recently with little to show from his last five starts, he tries first-time cheekpieces today; needs a trip beyond 6f so the 8f here at least suits the distance, but he has plenty to prove against these rivals.
-
2135-3No signal7/2 13/2 10/3A first-time tongue-tie for a consistent hurdler who found himself with too much ground to make up after a run of jumping errors here last time, beaten 2 lengths from a marginally lower mark. He handles the track and should improve on that, though the errors cost him dearly.
-
Conor Whiteley 15%David O'Meara 13%360632No signal3/1 7/2 11/4Narrowed the margin to a nose at Doncaster five days ago on today's exact mark, suggesting he's in good current form; the addition of first-time cheekpieces is an interesting stable trial, and he handles the trip and ground, though he has yet to get his head in front in recent starts.
-
Hector Crouch 18%Ralph Beckett 19%321WHTW Whisper 1 signal4/5 5/6 8/11Got off the mark at Pontefract last time, taking a maiden by 3½ lengths with a performance that suggests there is more to come; the step up to 12f looks well suited to her and, backed by a strong yard, she heads our rankings here.
-
Ross O'Sullivan 10%337-09No signal18/1 14/1 18/1Progressive last year but out of form in recent starts, with last time's poor showing partly attributed to an unsuitably short trip. Back at a more appropriate distance today and usually held up for a late run; first-time hood applied, though the mark may still be slightly beyond her current form.
-
Altura20:30 Fairyhouse race 7 of 7Shane Foley 11%7No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Held up before staying on from the rear in her only outing at Leopardstown, a positive debut effort despite being well beaten. Back after 11 weeks and bred to get further, stepping up in trip should suit with better expected.
-
—No signal5/1 FCST 4/1A 75,000 guineas breeze-up purchase by Harry Angel and a full-sister to Yorkshire, a smart 7f performer, she comes from a yard with an excellent record with first-time starters; a tongue-tie is fitted and she looks a likely type to make an immediate impact.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%507-31No signal2/1 9/4 7/4Showed his best form to take a Kempton handicap by 2½ lengths three weeks ago, looking well within himself over this trip and ground; he is now 6lb higher but retains the potential to improve further and heads our rankings.
-
Shane Gray 15%Kevin Ryan 12%99-300No signal11/1 14/1 10/1Beaten well down the field in a handicap at Doncaster last time and finding little when asked, he is suited by the distance and handles any ground. A recovery from that below-par effort is needed, though connections have landed 2 of the last 5 runnings of this race.
-
Dylan Hogan 11%221316TTop Rated Whisper 1 signal16/1 17/2 16/1Pulled hard and fell short of his best last time, finishing 5 lengths adrift off this mark; he tends to lead and the first-time cheekpieces may assist, but he needs to find considerably more and is ranked ninth on our figures.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%David Evans 13%1No signal9/4 FCST 2/1Came away decisively on debut, impressing in a 6f novice and clearly knowing his job from the outset — there should be more to come. Carries a penalty for that success but sets the standard in a field where debut form counts for much.
-
Colin Keane 16%G. M. Lyons 16%—No signal5/1 11/4 5/1A Soldier's Call colt from a yard that prepares debutants well, he comes from a staying dam but his sire's speed should mean 6f is within range; an interesting profile with a top yard behind him, though debut form is inherently uncertain.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Michael Dods 12%1TTop Rated Whisper 1 signal3/10 7/16 5/17Debut winner at this course, taking a maiden by 2½ lengths while still showing some inexperience — barely needing to be fully extended. A physically imposing type with plenty of scope, he acts on today's trip and ground and looks well capable of further progress off a short break.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Richard Hughes 15%3-3532No signal11/2 13/2 11/2Finished second at Salisbury on his most recent start, beaten 4½ lengths while running to his level; he handles a range of trips and ground and is in decent form, with first-time blinkers now added, but he is yet to win in recent starts.
-
070-17No signal28/1 14/1 28/1Won at this track two starts back and handles today's trip on a sound surface, now 4lb higher than her winning mark that day. Last time she was well below form up in class, but course form is genuine and she can contest if back to her best.
-
Arenas Del Tiempo20:07 Epsom race 6 of 7Finley Marsh 14%6-6736No signal20/1 14/1 20/1A mare who prefers to set the pace but was left at the start and beaten nine lengths in a handicap at Wolverhampton before this 121-day break; the mark is not punitive but patchy recent form and the layoff combine to make this a significant ask.
-
6No signalSP 33/1 40/1Well beaten on debut at Navan when eight lengths off the pace, she has speed in her pedigree and should learn from that initial experience; drawn wide from stall 9 and hard to fancy to win here but some improvement can be expected.
-
P31-51No signal11/4 9/4 11/4Back at his best at Southwell last time, he landed a handicap by 3¼l off a lower mark under a forceful ride, and a strong pointing background suggests the form is worth more than the mark implies. First-time tongue-tie; 2m5f-3m suits on today's ground. The risk is whether he can follow up conceding weight.
-
Clifford Lee 17%K. R. Burke 20%2223No signal10/3 5/1 3/1A rangy sort built for staying trips who showed his level when six lengths third at Chester most recently — a course unlikely to play to his strengths — and he steps up to twelve furlongs here, a trip that should suit him much better. Yet to score in recent starts, but the distance switch is a clear plus.
-
Bradley Harris 17%Neil Mulholland 15%1U2-63No signal10/1 12/1 9/1Set off at too strong a gallop at Fontwell most recently, finishing 14 lengths third in a chase, and his best form appears to be around 2m4f on today's going. First-time tongue-tie and visor fitted; a generally improving profile over fences, though he rates below the leading contenders here.
-
Zak Wheatley 10%Declan Carroll 11%3/0134No signal12/1 9/1 11/1Held his form at the same mark last time, finishing fourth by two and a quarter lengths in keeping with his recent profile; effective over today's distance, he remains on a rating that looks competitive at this level and could play a part.
-
R. P. Whelan 9%0-753No signalSP 9/2 7/1Third on handicap debut at Cork most recently, beaten 4½ lengths in decent shape after stepping down in grade — a solid if unspectacular introduction to the discipline. He likely stays 10f and handles this surface, though a performance upgrade is needed to get involved here.
-
Ben Coen 11%Jack Foley 11%809No signal25/1Down the field in his latest maiden at Dundalk, he has produced a consistently moderate level of form and steps into handicap company for the first time today. His breeding suggests staying distances may suit better — today's 8f trip could be shorter than ideal — and a marked improvement is required.
-
Chris Hayes 10%74No signal14/1 7/1 14/1A better showing when fourth at Navan last time, beaten five and a quarter lengths down in class, she was highly regarded on debut and looks capable of taking another step forward now tried over this longer trip; speed in her pedigree and a legitimate threat.
-
James Bowen 20%Mickey Bowen 16%2P9-33No signal7/2 13/2 7/2Given too much to do at this course last time, he improved through the race and jumped better to finish 17 lengths third; he has landed two bumpers and could be well treated on his current chase mark. First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces; 2m7f on today's ground suits, with consistency the key question.
- B
-
Bryan Carver 13%55-263No signalSP FCST 150/1Well held in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot just eight days ago, finishing a distant third beaten 65 lengths, and he has a significant amount to find under rules despite showing some ability in a point-to-point. Hard to see him making an impact here without further evidence of merit.
-
Paul O'Brien 14%3855-3No signal9/2 9/2 4/1Third here most recently, beaten just over 6 lengths in a handicap hurdle on a track and trip she handles well. Yet to score over hurdles, she has a solid point and bumper background that hints at more to come, and the extra distance here could work in her favour.
-
Jack Tudor 13%44-78No signal20/1 14/1 18/1Well beaten on her handicap debut here last time, always in arrears without mounting a challenge. She handles a sound surface and may come on for the experience, though stamina at this trip is yet to be demonstrated and there is more to prove before she can be expected to feature.
-
Barak Warrior20:53 Bath race 6 of 6James Keane 17%778No signal10/3 11/2 10/3Expected to improve for the switch into handicap company over this longer trip, he was held up in his novice races and is the type likely to stay further than 10f; well beaten most recently but handicapping for the first time, the conditions are more straightforward and he is the one to beat.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%046082No signal15/2 13/2 15/2Runner-up at Ripon last time despite an awkward exit from the stalls, beaten a length off this identical mark; first-time cheekpieces applied, effective at 5-6f on good to soft, and though without a win in recent starts, there is plenty to build on here.
-
Alan Doyle 11%Gary Hanmer 12%2/7-35No signal8/1 12/1 13/2Lightly raced and yet to build on a promising debut effort, he looks to be on a lenient mark judged on that early promise and should stay 3m on today's ground. He was held on both outings since, racing lazily, but there is more to come as he settles into handicaps.
-
5-5287No signal9/1 12/1 8/1A previous course-and-distance winner whose recent efforts have slipped below her best, she had no clear excuse when beaten seven lengths at Chepstow last time; handles this distance and going, but needs to recapture earlier levels to make an impact here.
-
Shane Foley 11%6-U734No signal14/1 9/1 14/1Given a clear opportunity at Cork last time, running to her rating in fourth beaten seven lengths. She's coming into form and handles today's trip, though her best going tends to be on softer ground than today's good-to-firm.
-
G. O'Leary 11%-68707No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Struggling for form throughout recent starts, beaten seven lengths at Cork last time; the handicapper has eased her mark, giving her a fresh opportunity. She handles today's distance and surface, and first-time cheekpieces may help — improvement is required on current showing to land this.
-
Alex Hales 11%62601-No signal9/1 13/2 9/1Back to his best when landing a handicap by 1¼ lengths at Fakenham last time, dropping in class to a sharper venue that suited. He handles this sort of ground and has been successful off a similar mark, though his inconsistency is a concern and Worcester is a less sharp track than his ideal.
-
J A Stack 12%8/0500No signal12/1 14/1 11/1On our figures she ranks among the leading contenders and clearly retains ability — she handles 8f and goes well on a sound surface, and first-time tongue-tie is fitted today. The concern is a run of poor recent efforts, and a noticeable change in form will be needed to justify market interest.
-
Bell Shot20:42 Epsom race 7 of 7Mason Paetel(3) 11%Michael Appleby 13%179638No signal13/2Finished 3¼ lengths adrift at Beverley last time, running short of his recent best off a 1lb higher mark; he tends to make the running and first-time cheekpieces may encourage that, but a big improvement in form is needed from eighth in our rankings.
-
W. J. Lee 16%W. McCreery 9%267135No signal10/3 3/1 10/3Back to a workable mark, she shaped with more merit than her fifth at Roscommon suggests — beaten four lengths off a mark 2lb higher than today's — and handles 8f and this going well. A leading track jockey booked, she makes a confident appeal as the one to beat.
-
Bella Perla20:42 Epsom race 7 of 7Jack Mitchell 16%Tom Clover 17%113-97No signal12/1 FCST 10/1Raced keenly and failed to fire at Yarmouth last time, beaten a long way in a handicap; she is suited by 7/8f and handles All-Weather well, but has significant ground to make up on turf after two poor recent efforts and a step forward is needed.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Kevin Ryan 12%400-00No signal33/1 20/1 33/1Down the field again in a handicap at York last time and in need of considerably better than of late, he tackles today's distance in first-time cheekpieces on a sound surface he handles. Connections have landed 2 of the last 5 runnings of this race, which is about the strongest case available on his current form.
-
Rose Dawes 13%Laura Mongan 5%-32973TTop Rated Whisper 1 signal25/1 14/1 25/1Showed a tendency to pull hard but kept on for third at Windsor on his most recent outing, 55 days ago, and there is scope to build on that with first-time cheekpieces fitted. He handles this trip and ground, though the lengthy absence means he will need to show his peak fitness.
-
Ben Jones 17%Ben Pauling 17%1346-7No signal14/1 13/2 14/1Her jumping was poor and she failed to travel in a hurdle here last time, finishing well held; the switch to chasing on debut is a bold move given that tendency. Effective at 2½-3m on any ground and first-time cheekpieces are applied, but she needs to demonstrate she can handle fences.
-
235377No signal50/1 33/1 50/1Well beaten in each of his last two outings, including at Wetherby recently when 5 lengths adrift; acts at 5-7f on a sound surface and a first-time visor is tried, but he remains without a win in recent starts and considerably more is needed to feature here.
-
Jack Tudor 13%96P-1No signal4/1 5/1 7/2Made a bright impression on his handicap debut at Southwell last time, winning by half a length in conditions that clearly suited. Returns from a short break off a 4lb higher mark, but effective over 2m on good ground and with more potentially to offer in handicaps, he cannot be dismissed.
-
G. O'Leary 11%950088No signalSP 6/1 11/2Yet to score in his last six outings, a turnaround is required, but his Roscommon eighth is best excused — he missed the break and met sustained interference throughout, which flatters to deceive the margin. Effective on a sound surface and handles the distance, a clear run today could show him in a better light.
-
Joe Leavy 11%Adrian Wintle 11%968-48No signal10/1 9/1 17/2Drawn widest of all in this field and well beaten at Bath last time when stepped up in trip, he has a track he likes and handles firm ground; 8f may be on the short side given his best form comes over 10-12f.
-
Mason Paetel(3) 11%Mark Hoad 8%776-34No signal4/1 7/1 10/3Suited to this distance and surface, Bobacious was successful at Epsom last year over this course and distance and enjoys forcing the pace. His recent efforts have been modest — winless in his last five — and he was a shade below his best when fourth at Lingfield latest.
-
Conor O'Farrell 12%Kerry Lee 11%433-4No signal16/1Progressive over hurdles off what looks a lenient mark, he was denied a clear passage in the closing stages here last time and faded to 4 lengths beaten from a mark 1lb higher than today's. Tongue-tie added for his second start back after a wind operation, he should strip fitter and remains a live danger.
-
—No signalSP
-
Bryan Smart 12%74No signal22/1 10/1 20/1Showed clear improvement when fourth at Carlisle latest, beaten six lengths in a novice after a difficult debut, and he handles today's trip on good ground. Connections landed this race last year; he is still searching for his first success but has shown enough to have a live chance here.
-
Harry Davies 13%Michael Appleby 13%66No signal100/1 50/1 66/1Well held in a maiden at Catterick most recently — a backward step from debut level — he faces a tough task with the trainer in a poor run of form and our figures placing him near the foot of the field.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%—No signal4/1 4/1 7/2A 30,000 euro breeze-up purchase by Blackbeard, Bullrider is unraced but makes his debut for a yard with a strong record with youngsters and has the profile to make an immediate mark. The dam is unraced though related to useful performers; he is worth treating with respect.
-
TBAW. McCreery 9%6437-0No signalSP 25/1 28/1Her Naas outing looked like a fitness run, beaten nine lengths; she's had a short break since and steps back out with a first-time visor. Handles this trip, though acts best with more give than today's good-to-firm.
- C
-
Colin Keane 16%Paul W Flynn 9%4559No signal25/1 16/1 25/1Her handicap debut at The Curragh last time fell well short of expectations, beaten almost ten lengths. A drop to today's 7f may help if the mile was too far previously, and there's a notable jockey booking; otherwise more improvement is needed.
-
James Davies 8%David Weston 4%15577-No signal14/1 10/1 12/1Racing far too keenly at Ffos Las last time, she burned herself out up front and was well beaten in a handicap chase. Effective at 2½m on good ground and returning from a short break, though her inconsistency is a concern and she may need a drop in grade before she can land a race.
-
Campeona20:53 Bath race 6 of 6Luke Morris 12%877-No signal11/10 10/11 EvsMiddle-distance bred and likely to relish a genuine stamina test, she failed to see out the trip when ridden prominently at a longer distance in a novice at Wolverhampton most recently; moderate in three starts so far and returning after a six-month absence, yet to win, but the 12f could bring out more.
-
G. F. Carroll 10%10-840No signal25/1 14/1 25/1Back on the last mark off which she landed a handicap, Carrigans Grove handles today's trip and ground well, and first-time blinkers add interest. She was set to challenge at The Curragh last time but couldn't find extra, beaten seven and a half lengths.
-
Chris Hayes 10%Peter Fahey 11%774No signal7/1 14/1 11/2Showed promise in maidens before a short break and now tries handicap company for the first time. Drawn on the inside in a big field and acts over today's trip; more improvement needed on current figures to land this.
-
Richie McLernon 13%Neil Mulholland 15%P3P6-7No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Hood and cheekpieces applied for the first time to a gelding who trailed in down the field in a Flat handicap most recently — a run to forget. He handles the going here but has been unreliable throughout, and the headgear is a clear statement that connections need a change in attitude before he can be trusted.
-
Ryan Sexton 12%Julie Camacho 11%342No signal16/1 FCST 14/1Returning from a break of over three months, she shaped with promise as runner-up in her latest maiden; acts at 5-6f and bred to get further, with scope for improvement stepping into handicap company on turf, though the lengthy layoff requires some caution.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%5-1011No signal7/1 10/3 13/2Dug deep to take a Doncaster handicap by a head last time, continuing a progressive sequence; he has experience at this trip and excels on a sound surface, though he wears a visor for the first time and faces a 5lb penalty today.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Harry Charlton 16%—No signal14/1 10/1 14/1A 40,000 guineas Dark Angel colt who debuts in first-time blinkers; his stable is in good form and has a track record of producing debutants ready to run. His dam was unraced but his sire gives speed, and the market will be informative.
-
A. Slattery 11%053175No signal8/1 13/2 15/2Landed a narrow success at Roscommon three runs ago on a mark 5lb lighter than today's, and his latest fifth is best excused — he encountered trouble having been asked to cover too much ground up in trip. Back at today's mark and 6-7f looks his range; a fair each-way prospect if stamina holds up.
-
87980-No signal66/1 50/1 66/1Returning after an absence of over a year, she had little to show from her recent starts and finished well down the field at Leopardstown on her most recent outing; first-time tongue-tie fitted but much is needed here.
-
Nigel Tinkler 11%5No signal28/1 16/1 20/1Showed flashes of ability on debut at Redcar, beaten nine lengths in a novice, and there is reason to think he can build on that over today's distance on good ground. First-time hood fitted; the trainer's recent strike rate gives some pause.
-
Tom Marquand 16%Jack Channon 14%36-403No signalSP 4/1 6/1Finished a close third last time off a 1lb higher mark, and our figures give her the edge in this field; she acts well at 5-6f on good ground, a notable jockey appointment appeals, and first-time tongue-tie is applied. Modest yard form is the one caution.
-
Jack Callan 14%Hugo Palmer 13%44No signal13/2 11/2 13/2Ran to a consistent level on his second start when fourth at Leicester, beaten 2¼l, Confernation has solid claims over this trip and surface. He is yet to score but has run with credit in both starts and rates an honest mid-range contender.
-
Cosmetic20:30 Fairyhouse race 7 of 7W. M. Lordan 16%Aidan O'Brien 22%97-55No signal5/1 11/2 5/1Dropped away before staying on into fifth at Cork last time, coping with the longer trip and showing stamina as her strong suit. Wears first-time cheekpieces and looks to be on the upgrade for an excellent yard; each-way claims.
-
David Allan 13%Craig Lidster 12%55-670No signal40/1 40/1 33/1Failed to show her best at Ripon most recently, finishing well down the field, and without a win in her last five starts; effective at 6f on a sound surface and her handicap mark has been nudged downward, but she needs to find more to feature here.
-
Joanna Mason 12%0No signal28/1 33/1 25/1Well beaten on debut at York, never able to land a blow after being held up early and going down by nine lengths in a seller; significant progress is needed to play a role in this company, though he has only the one outing on his CV.
-
Jack Andrews 13%Tom Ellis 13%063-52No signal6/1 9/2 11/2Showed up well on her chase debut at Southwell last time, beaten only 3 lengths from a mark 2lb lower than today's and likely to improve further over fences. Tongue-tie and cheekpieces added, she handles today's distance and enters this as the top-rated runner in the field — scope for more on chase potential.
-
W. J. Lee 16%Stephen Thorne 12%—No signal17/2 10/1 15/2A St Mark's Basilica breeze-up purchase at €80,000, she is a half-sister to See That Storm, a smart performer over longer trips, out of a dam effective at 7f; intriguing pedigree but debut winners here are uncommon and she looks an unlikely debutant.
-
Kielan Woods 14%2143-7No signal12/1 15/2 12/1Well beaten on her latest outing at this venue, a run that appeared to come too soon and left room for improvement. She has been a reliable performer over this sort of distance and handles the track, and a better showing is expected now she has that run in her legs.
-
6No signal28/1 10/1 25/1Beaten seven lengths on debut at Roscommon and now off a 51-day break, he is bred for a longer test around 7f and this 6f trip may not be ideal; likely to find this level testing but improvement remains possible from limited experience.
- D
-
Paul W Flynn 9%814900No signal16/1 FCST 14/1Out of form at present, he was well down the field in his most recent handicap at Leopardstown having failed to land a blow. First-time tongue-tie fitted today, and while he drops below his last winning mark, the form figures suggest a sharp turnaround is needed to feature.
-
62222-No signalSP
-
Harry Skelton 26%Dan Skelton 22%5-7No signal25/1 9/1 25/1Well held after struggling for pace in a maiden hurdle here latest and likely needing a longer trip; a powerful yard on a good run at present, though he has plenty to prove at this level.
-
TBA8-7215No signal16/1 10/1 16/1Won at this track two starts ago off a mark 6lb below today's, and she handles the course well. Last outing in softer conditions over a longer trip saw her below form; back on the same rating here, better going and the return to today's trip could bring out a better effort.
-
George Baker 10%730571No signal6/1 5/1 6/1Landed a Windsor handicap by 1½ lengths last time and meets this field under a penalty with first-time cheekpieces; he handles this trip on a sound surface and the yard has a strong record in this contest, though he draws from the widest stall.
-
Cam Hardie 6%482624No signal11/1 9/1 11/1Fourth at Wetherby last time, beaten 1½ lengths off a mark 1lb above today's; first-time blinkers added and competitive on the weights, though 6f is at the top of his range and he remains without a win in a lengthy run of starts.
-
Mark Winn 11%Paul Midgley 11%—No signal50/1 25/1 33/1An Arizona gelding who is a full brother to Glyndwr, who showed useful form at this trip, and his dam also had ability at sprint distances as a two-year-old; he was inexpensively purchased and the assessment is that debut day presents a tough introduction.
-
/332-7No signal11/1 12/1 9/1Raced rawly and made errors on her hurdles debut at Fontwell last time, finishing well held, but her bumper and point-to-point record is progressive and she is considered capable of better once she adapts to obstacles. The trainer is out of form and inexperience over hurdles remains a real risk.
-
Charlie Price 12%PP4-3PNo signal18/1 18/1 16/1Did not see out the longer trip when pulled up here on his latest outing, but drops back to a more suitable distance and looks fairly treated on his best hurdle form; still lightly raced over fences with more to offer.
-
Ashley Lewis 14%—No signal25/1 40/1 25/1A 14,000 guineas Kodi Bear filly making her debut; her dam showed useful ability at seven furlongs as a two-year-old and nearly landed a race on her second start. An unlikely prospect to prevail on debut but the breeding gives some grounds for market interest.
-
Tom Queally 10%0-7067No signal20/1 16/1 14/1Struggled to see out an extended trip on his most recent start — well beaten after failing to last the distance — and stamina is a clear concern stepping back up here. First-time blinkers are applied, but he has plenty to prove and remains without a win in recent starts.
-
29/8No signalSP FCST 33/1Below par in a mares bumper at Bangor-on-Dee last time, beaten well with every chance, and she needs to prove her ability is intact after a significant absence. The connections were successful in this race last year, which is a notable angle, but she sits low on our figures and much must go right.
-
Jason Hart 14%Ivan Furtado 10%3-6568SSteamer Whisper 1 signal9/1 12/1 17/2Failed to show her best at Carlisle last time, well beaten in a handicap, and without a win in her last five starts; effective at 6-7f and probably acts on any ground, but needs to step forward from what she has been showing recently to feature here.
-
Jason Hart 14%—No signal16/1 16/1 14/1A £35,000 breeze-up purchase by Space Traveller whose dam is a half-sister to a high-class turf sprinter, giving him an intriguing pedigree page for this surface; without a run to assess him, he merits respect on breeding and is placed fourth on our figures.

Pat Phelan 8%/7-170No signal25/1 16/1 20/1Well beaten at Kempton last time out, Dotties Star had shown much better form ahead of that run and this return to turf could see him bounce back into contention. He handles 10-12f and acts on the All-Weather; conditions here may not be ideal but he is not without claims.

Tom George 18%61-F2No signal10/3 5/2 10/3Showed plenty of promise when runner-up on his most recent start, going close despite pulling hard in the lead; his bumper experience leaves room for more over hurdles once he learns to settle, and this distance and ground suit.

David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%—No signal25/1 18/1 20/1Ardad colt whose dam was placed over seven and eight furlongs — a modest pedigree profile that makes limited appeal, and the overall picture gives little encouragement for a debut success. Hard to make a case for him in this field.

Nick Scholfield 14%55BBoD Whisper 1 signal7/2 4/1 7/2Gained from the debut experience when fifth at Salisbury last time, beaten three and a quarter lengths, and he handles this distance and going. He should do better as he matures and may eventually prove best over a longer trip, but remains a threat on current form.
-
634-55No signal25/1 12/1 25/1Failed to produce her best at Catterick last time, well beaten in a handicap, and drawn on the outside of a large field here; she is versatile on ground and effective at 5-7f, but rivals appear to hold the stronger hand on our figures.
-
Shane Foley 11%57-150No signal7/1 8/1 7/1Top-rated on our figures and effective over today's distance on this going, she was beaten in a Listed event last time where the class of opposition was simply too strong. The move back into handicap company looks the right call; the breeding suggests more to come, and she is the selection.

Moore 7%164-60No signal11/1 18/1 11/1First-time cheekpieces for a filly now back down to the mark at which she last struck, and she handles any ground over this sort of trip. However, she had little excuse when well beaten at Salisbury last time and needs to show more.

Jack Mitchell 16%Simon Dow 11%08-008No signal22/1 16/1 20/1Thursday trailed throughout at Chepstow last time, unable to get into contention after being held up early, and her form has deteriorated noticeably of late. A first-time hood is fitted but she has a great deal to prove and sits at the foot of our ratings.

Ross Coakley 10%Michael Bell 13%1-145No signal33/1 12/1 28/1Ran below expectations at Chester last time, held by 5 lengths over a shorter trip; this is a significant step up in distance and his stamina over 12f is unproven, while the yard's current form is a further point to weigh, though the conditions may suit.

Jack Quinlan 15%Matt Crawley 9%2/4-44No signal9/1 6/1 9/1Beaten 35 lengths when fourth at Fakenham after failing to see out the longer trip; comes back in distance here where his form is more competitive, and acts on good ground.
-
/156-7No signal28/1 22/1 25/1Sent on too early at Warwick last time, he was caught and beaten late in a handicap hurdle after going too soon; 3m on today's ground suits and first-time cheekpieces could help settle him. Inconsistent, with jumping an area of concern, and he needs to produce a cleaner round.

Oisin McSweeney 10%Roger Fell 12%4No signal17/2 13/2 6/1Finished fourth on debut at Ripon, closing ground in the final stages to be beaten three lengths — handled today's distance on good ground and showed ability.

Ben Coen 11%J. P. Murtagh 11%23-221No signal4/1 9/4 4/1Won on her handicap debut last time, landing a close decision off a mark 3lb below today's — a consistently placed filly who has rarely been far away in recent starts. First-time cheekpieces worn and a trainer in form; effective over today's trip on a sound surface. The slightly higher mark is the only query.

He carries our highest rating in the field.

R. P. Cleary 6%008-No signal40/1 50/1 40/1A lengthy absence of over seven months follows a well-beaten effort in a maiden, and his pedigree suggests shorter trips could be more suitable than today's 8f.

Jonathan Burke 15%James Owen 18%3-43No signal5/1 15/2 9/2Overfaced by the pace at Southwell last time, he rallied to be beaten 2 lengths on handicap debut, hinting at further improvement. An unexposed dual-purpose gelding effective at 2m on today's ground; the main risk is whether he can do enough in a maiden setting once given a more prominent ride.
