Oisin Murphy 22%422-34No signal9/1 15/2 9/1Blocked for room and arguably closer than the result reads when fourth, beaten 3l, in a Group 1 at Chantilly last time; still winless in its recent starts, though a step up in trip could suit and there's more to come if the ground has some cut.
-
Jack Doughty 13%David Flood 11%070331No signal11/8 6/5 5/4A Daughters Love struck for the first time when landing a handicap by three and a quarter lengths at Chepstow last time, just seven days ago, and there should be more to come now she has that success under her belt. She stays this ten-furlong trip well on a sound surface and rates a serious threat on a 62 figure, though she does have to defy a 6lb rise.
-
M C Grassick 9%82No signal13/2 5/1 13/2A close second, beaten only a head in a maiden at this course last time, this colt showed clear progress from debut and rates 87 with us, mid-field of ten. He needs more again stepping up in grade, and has had a lengthy break, but conditions should suit.
-
Rowan Scott 11%George Scott 20%41-862No signal5/2 9/4 2/1Back down in trip suited him last time, and he progressed again to be beaten only a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Windsor, continuing an upward curve that includes a win earlier in the sequence. A promising sort whose breathing issue looks to have been resolved, he's effective at 6f and stretches out well to 7f, with the yard among the in-form stables. Rated clear of this field and the one to beat.
-
Daniel King 10%E D Delany 8%62P0-5No signal17/2 17/2 8/1Rated well below his maiden form, he was ridden for the longer haul when beaten just over nine lengths in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time, having had too much ground to make up. Course-and-distance form, conditions he handles and first-time cheekpieces make him a big threat at 117 for all his modest mark, with a lack of a win his one query.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Charlie Appleby 33%31-34No signal7/2A nice sort still open to improvement, this filly ran to form when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l, in a Listed race at York last time, form that has since been franked elsewhere; she stays this trip well, acts on good ground, and the yard is firing, leaving only the length of her absence as a minor concern.
-
Dylan Kidd 4%/090P-No signal33/1Successful in a point-to-point but yet to show much of that form under rules, failing to complete last time in a handicap chase at Wexford, needing that run after a break. He's normally held up, and today's course, trip and ground are proven, with first-time cheekpieces the fresh angle, but he still has plenty to prove.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Jack Jones 12%41-862No signal5/1 7/2 9/2Akho Mezzna bounced back into form when beaten just over a length here last time, from a mark only 1lb below today's, and could take another step forward if building on that. He's inconsistent but has real claims on his best form, is effective from 7f to 10f with a mile looking his optimum, acts on fast ground or the all-weather, and adds first-time cheekpieces today, having won four starts back.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%0-2635No signal13/2 5/1 13/2Akkadian Thunder was beaten three and a half lengths off today's mark at York last time, in a performance that matched his current form. He remains without a win in this sequence but is clearly capable when conditions fall his way, acts on a range of going at this trip, and rates a leading contender at 105 on our figures.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%George Scott 20%-00875No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Matching recent levels when beaten four and a quarter lengths in a handicap at Sandown last time, this gelding is yet to win in five tries and has never gone beyond 10f, a query at this longer trip. First-time cheekpieces and a trainer in form offer some encouragement, with his mark said to look stiff this season.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%William Haggas 23%7159-2No signal4/7 1/2 9/17Talented but sometimes hard to fathom, he returned from a short break to finish runner-up in a Group 3 at Newbury; this quick-ground test over a trip he handles well suits, and a rating of 120 makes him the one to beat.
-
Jack Callan 14%Kevin Ryan 12%14-270No signal18/1 14/1 18/1Alaminos looked well below his true level in a handicap at York last time, a run that jars with an otherwise solid recent record including a win in this sequence. Sharper form prior suggests he can bounce back if this longer trip suits, and he is best served by a sound surface, but he sits bottom of these figures at 78 with the stable out of sorts.
-
Rhys Elliott 7%Tim Easterby 11%87-0No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Down the field again without ever threatening in a novice at Catterick most recent, and with only three starts to his name the boost from stepping up in trip has yet to be tested. He's bred to be suited by today's longer distance, but on what he's shown he needs to progress plenty before he can be trusted.
-
Zak Wheatley 10%Declan Carroll 11%47-186No signal20/1 14/1 20/1Her form has been up and down, and she raced too keenly from off the pace when well beaten last time off a mark one pound higher than today's; drawn wide and effective around this 7-9 furlong range, first-time tongue-tie may help settle her, but on a rating of 74 she remains hard to trust on this evidence.
-
5-579No signal66/1 FCST 50/1Modest efforts have followed this gelding's hurdling debut, with the Downpatrick run last time showing little progress; a yard without a winner recently adds to the concerns, though he does act well on heavy and today's conditions and trip suit. More time looks needed before he's competitive.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%231119No signal11/8 11/10 18/13This gelding ran up a hat-trick before that sequence ended, and a return to that level would make him hard to hold out, especially as he won here previously off a lower mark than his current 148 lb, and he's drawn in stall four this time. Rated 71, the obvious threat to that is a repeat of the notably faster ground that undid him last time, conditions that look on the cards again today.
-
Brian Ellison 10%08661No signal9/4 FCST 2/1Stepping up having recently landed a seller by a short head at Musselburgh, she's clearly come forward with that drop in grade and looks the type to take well to handicaps on debut in that sphere; suited by 7f on a sound surface, she rates the one to beat for us at 69 in a modest race, though the yard's recent cold spell is worth noting.
-
Robert Havlin 15%Michael Appleby 13%-12480No signal22/1Plenty of raw speed but this gelding remains out of sorts, following a below-par effort at Thirsk last time; his sole win in the last five starts is now five runs back. Trip and ground are proven, though his turf form lags his better efforts on all-weather.
-
David Probert 13%171452No signal11/2 6/1 5/1Splitting two wins either side of a handful of minor-place finishes, this filly continues to race to a fair level, and was beaten just half a length last time off a mark of sixty-two, only a pound lower than today; the yard is in good form, first-time cheekpieces are added, and she looks competitive again at a trip she handles well.
-
Mason Paetel(3) 11%James Owen 18%23-624No signal14/1Not far below his form but lacking a bit of resolve when fourth, beaten eight lengths in a handicap at Epsom latest, this gelding remains without a win in five attempts. He stays 10-14f and a step up in trip plus a first-time visor could help, though he needs more resolution to figure.
-
TBAJames Owen 18%23-624No signalSP
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%Charlie Johnston 13%0-2590No signal40/1 25/1 33/1Yet to score in her last five starts, this filly weakened tamely having pulled too hard early at Ascot last time, and today's 14f trip looks a stretch given she's only proven to 10f. The yard has a strong record in this race, but staying the trip is the key concern.
-
Donald McCain 15%740-65No signal28/1 18/1 28/1Held comfortably in a Hamilton handicap last time on a trip that didn't suit, this gelding wants further and has at least dropped a long way in the weights. He's proven at today's trip and ground, but he's the bottom-rated runner here and remains without a win in recent starts.
-
Nigel Tinkler 11%00-002No signal4/1 FCST 7/2Showed a clear step forward when second at Doncaster last time, beaten a length and a quarter off a marginally lower mark after five winless starts. Our top-rated runner on 85, well suited by today's trip and going, and the one to beat despite sitting below the level of his last success.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%Roger Varian 20%3-1TTop Rated Whisper 1 signal1/2 1/2 7/16A clear improver from his debut effort, this colt got off the mark at Yarmouth last time, scoring by three lengths in a novice, and there should be more to come even under a penalty today; with the stable in good form and conditions on the soft side well within his compass, he's taken to follow up.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Ian Williams 11%21-403No signalSP
-
David Egan 14%Ian Williams 11%21-403No signal16/1 11/1 16/1Aqua Bear performed up to expectations over this sort of trip when beaten three lengths off this same mark at Carlisle last time, part of a largely dependable record that includes a win in this sequence. Versatile with the ground across this trip range, he is fancied to give another honest account and rates a leading threat at 90 on our figures.
-
Tyler Heard 7%Dylan Cunha 13%940No signal16/1A recent import from Ireland, Arc At Her looks sure to improve for a switch to handicaps, with her only sign of encouragement coming when down the field in a maiden at Lingfield last time after racing off the pace. She's rated a leading contender on 59, but her form to date is all on synthetic over nine furlongs, leaving today's ground and the step up in trip both unproven.
-
Luke Morris 12%Dylan Cunha 13%51-115No signal2/1 7/4 2/1Three wins in his last five starts, including a battling effort when keeping on from off the pace last time despite having plenty to do, beaten just over three lengths off a mark 4lb below today's. Versatile with trip and ground, he's open to more, with only the sharper mark to overcome.
-
Martin Todhunter 10%30-239No signal12/1Typically a picture of consistency racing off a fair mark, this mare looks overdue an upturn after a well-beaten run for no obvious reason here last time. She's proven at today's trip, handles cut in the ground, and ranks fourth of six on our figures, making her one to note on a return to form.
-
622519No signal13/2 11/2 6/1Stepped up in grade and below form when beaten eight lengths off a 74 rating last time, this filly races 2lb lower today and wears cheekpieces for the first time. Admittedly inconsistent, she rates 81 with us, third of this large field, and has previously won from the front over this trip on good or all-weather ground.
-
David Marnane 10%6350-No signal28/1 22/1 25/1Off the track for the best part of a year, this filly was never a factor when beaten five and a half lengths in a nursery at Cork on her latest start. She rates 66 with us, well down this field of thirteen, drawn wide, and needs more to figure back after such a long layoff despite being in good form before that run.
-
Jack Kennedy 23%Gordon Elliott 18%P83-F3No signal11/4 FCST 5/2Considered a leading threat, she was below her best in an under-par third, beaten ten lengths at Downpatrick last time. Suited by two miles three on yielding and sporting a first-time hood, though repeating that recent dip would be the obvious concern up in this company.
-
Ryan Kavanagh 11%Matt Crawley 9%304568No signal25/1Argentum had nothing more to give at an unsuitable fourteen furlongs when well beaten in a handicap at Yarmouth last time, and she's still without a win in six starts. Today's ten furlongs is shorter than her best form around eleven to twelve, and although she acts on a sound surface, a 51 rating makes her tough to support.
-
Chris Hayes 10%—No signal50/1Sired by Arizona and bought for just 5,000 euros, this filly rates a modest 46 on debut, our outsider here. A dam who was useful over a mile and a half-sister who shone at six furlongs offer encouragement, but she still has plenty to find against this field.
-
6No signal66/1 FCST 50/1Beaten eight lengths on debut in a maiden at Navan, this filly has speed in her pedigree and should take a step forward for that initial experience, but she rates bottom of this ten-strong field at 74 with us. She looks to have plenty to find against these rivals.
-
William Pyle 9%—No signal28/1 FCST 25/1This colt changed hands for £5,000 as a juvenile and is bred for speed - by the smart sprinter Showcasing out of Dutch Treat, herself a useful sprinter, with a half-brother in Perfect Spring who was useful at 6f. This yard isn't renowned for first-time winners, but he looks sharp enough for 5f. Untested, with plenty still to find out.
-
—No signal33/1 16/1 33/1A modestly-bought son of Saxon Warrior out of a dam who excelled at middle distances, he was born in mid-February and looks up against it on his belated debut against more forward types; the lowest of our ratings here reflects a stiff task first time out.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Henry Dwyer 25%71-007No signal5/2 2/1 5/2A multiple Group 1 winner who's yet to hit top form this season, this mare showed a definite step forward when beaten just 2l in a Group 1 at Ascot last time after being asked for her effort in good time; tongue-tie and blinkers are added for the first time and today looks her easiest assignment so far, though a wide draw is the complication.
-
Ashley Lewis 14%Dylan Cunha 13%01-000No signal16/1 22/1 16/1Aspire To Glory has little to recommend him on recent evidence, having been below form again when down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest, and he's managed only one win in his last five starts. He does act well on an easy surface or the all-weather over today's trip, but back after a break of 54 days and up against sharper types, a 60 rating looks about right.
-
Connor Beasley 13%K. R. Burke 20%—No signal10/1 9/2 17/2Bred to be smart, being a daughter of Space Traveller and half-sister to a performer who excelled at seven furlongs, she was a notable pedigree buy and is sent out by a yard firing on all cylinders (a 28% strike rate over the last fortnight); a rating of 86 makes her the most interesting runner in this field on debut.

5367No signal10/1 17/2 9/1Aurelune managed little up at ten furlongs when well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham last time, and she remains without a win in four starts. Back to a trip within her best 7-9f range and on a sound surface, she has conditions in her favour, but a 60 rating and a wide draw leave her work cut out.
-
Oisin McSweeney 10%Bryan Smart 12%5No signal16/1Effectively still finding her feet, she was well beaten on a truncated debut effort in a maiden at Musselburgh, and clear improvement is needed to be competitive here, though she is bred with plenty of speed and wears a hood for the first time; a rating of 65 leaves her towards the rear of these figures.
-
185P6-No signal28/1A mixed recent record for this gelding includes a below-par effort at Limerick last time, where going too soon proved costly, though a win is also among his last five starts; conditions look suitable, but climbing too high in the weights back over hurdles is the obvious concern here.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%David Menuisier 13%9-054No signal8/1 8/1 15/2Avispado did have his excuses when fourth, beaten eight lengths in a handicap at this course last time, with the form working out better than the bare result suggests. He remains without a win in four starts and sits bottom of the field on a 58 rating, but conditions over today's trip suit and the yard is in good form, while a wide draw is a complication.

-
Jack Doughty 13%Tony Carroll 13%8No signal100/1 50/1 100/1A slow start effectively ended her chance in a maiden at Wolverhampton on her only outing, and she was never involved from there, finishing a well-beaten eighth; a significant step forward is needed on that solitary piece of form to trouble this field.
-
Cam Hardie 6%046668No signal33/1 20/1 33/1A well-beaten effort at Nottingham last time extends a run of modest finishes, with turf form still very much unproven; better served by 7-8f and clearly happier on the all-weather, he wears a visor for the first time today but, rated 77 by us, still has plenty to find before he can be trusted.
-
Rowan Scott 11%Nigel Tinkler 11%308524No signal9/2A maiden yet to get her head in front, but her form's plainly on the up, matching her true level when beaten just two lengths off an unchanged mark in a handicap at Wetherby last time. Proven over today's trip and going, she remains of interest for a leading threat, even with the yard currently out of winners.
-
6700-2No signal5/1A close second, beaten a neck off a lower mark, at Limerick last time marked a step up from her previous efforts, and she'd be a major player building further on it. Course, distance and two and a half miles are all in her favour, though repeating that level is the query.
-
Charles Bishop 10%00-376No signal50/1 FCST 40/1A fair level though outclassed when beaten 7l in a Group 3 at York last time, this gelding drops into easier company today which should suit, but his mark still looks full enough and a wide draw doesn't help; he remains winless in his last five starts, quick to reappear just a week on.
-
John Egan 9%Nigel Tinkler 11%36580No signal22/1 22/1 20/1Needs to bounce back after a below-par run at Wetherby latest, beaten six and a quarter lengths, with the yard also out of form currently. He does act on quick ground at today's trip, so he's not without claims, but the case for him goes only so far on these figures.
-
Danny Gilligan 11%Gordon Elliott 18%1460-No signal16/1 14/1 16/1A progressive sort on the Flat, this gelding found a stiff mark too strong in a juvenile handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time, but he drops back in company today for a powerful stable. A first-time tongue-tie and time off add slight uncertainty, though he rates among the leading players.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Alan King 16%60-141No signal4/1 10/3 7/2Barbury Boy stepped back down in trip to land a narrow success at Nottingham last time, doing so off a mark 5lb below today's, and that placed his progress on a formline that stands up. Effective from 7f to 10f on most types of ground, he heads the market on our figures, though he has also flattered to deceive on occasion, having been below his best two starts back.
-
Tim Easterby 11%806232No signal5/2 32/17 9/4Top-rated on our figures, this gelding confirmed his consistency when beaten 2 1/4 lengths off a lower mark at this course last time. From a yard with a fine record here and sporting first-time cheekpieces, he's the one to beat, though he must finally turn those places into a win.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%Rebecca Menzies 11%862221No signal9/4 7/4 2/1Full of running when landing a handicap by a head last time from a mark 2lb lower than today's, she's rounded off that sort of form with three seconds and a win among her last six starts; suited by 6f on soft or good to firm, she's the pick for us at 69 in a modest race, though the yard's recent quiet spell is worth noting.
-
Oisin Orr 14%Kevin Ryan 12%—No signal5/1 9/2 5/1A £50,000 son of Sands Of Mali and half-brother to a modest performer at six furlongs, out of a dam without much to recommend her at five, he's from a yard short on form currently but with a strong record in this event, having been successful in it last year; a booked rider with a fine record at the track is a plus, though he otherwise looks up against it on debut, and a rating of 67 reflects a middling profile.
-
TBAHarry Eustace 13%4-12No signalSP
-
David Probert 13%44No signal12/1 10/1 12/1Twice fourth in his last two starts, this colt was dropped in grade on softer ground when beaten three and a half lengths in a seller at Goodwood latest, and stepping back to six furlongs, where he's shown his form, should suit; our rating has him firmly in the mix, though a big weight and first-time tongue-tie leave a couple of questions.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Ralph Beckett 19%2-1411No signalSP FCST 5/1Progressing nicely with three wins from his last five starts, this gelding made smooth headway and idled in front when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a lower mark at this course last time, suggesting there's more in hand; he looks an attractive sort with further improvement likely, though he may prefer this ground with a touch more give than it looks like getting.

Brian Hayes 10%W. P. Mullins 26%511-TTop RatedWHTW Nod 2 signals8/11 FCST 9/17Back-to-back wins, the latest a comfortable success at Punchestown, leave this gelding well fancied to complete the hat-trick; that form has since been boosted and the stable's strength suggests more to come off just a short break, though this deeper field is the obvious test.
-
Darragh O'Keeffe 13%1/2-U2TTop Rated Whisper 1 signal6/1 11/2 6/1A narrow defeat off a lower mark at Listowel last time, beaten just half a length, keeps this gelding firmly involved on solid recent form including a win among his last four. The yard is in good form and a first-time tongue-tie adds appeal on a fair mark, though he must prove he can turn placed efforts into victories at this level.
-
Ms L A Byrne 0%D M Christie 5%—No signal28/1A first-time runner out of a dam who failed to complete in points, he's by Conduit for a yard better known for point success but capable of readying sorts for a bumper debut. There's some interest in him at 111, though he remains up in the air on account of his complete lack of experience.
-
Henry Candy 12%49-9No signal18/1 14/1 18/1Bel Air Flyer's best form is a fourth from three starts, with a shade more encouragement when down the field in a maiden at Lingfield last time. She may well improve now she tackles a handicap, but a 68-day absence and a 50 rating leave a fair bit to find.
-
Laura Pearson 10%Grant Tuer 13%2-6552No signal5/1 FCST 9/2Without a win in his last five starts but continuing to build towards his peak, this gelding was beaten only half a length off a 1lb lower mark here last time, with his current mark now more workable for him. He can be fractious beforehand, but with the yard in form and conditions to suit at 8 to 9 furlongs, he's rated 71 and capable of featuring.
-
236No signal33/1 28/1 25/1Sent forward too soon and outclassed when comfortably held in a 2yo race at the Curragh last time, this filly needs to recover that form and rates 84 with us, mid-pack in this field of ten. Speedily bred and suited by sound ground, she has been fairly fresh off an eleven-week break.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Charlie Johnston 13%035505No signal10/1 15/2 9/1An improved effort when beaten 7 lengths in a Newmarket handicap last time suggests this gelding is finding form again, having slipped below the mark that once brought success. He's effective at today's trip and ground, ranks fourth of seven on our figures, but still has a bit to prove.
-
David Probert 13%3-4661No signal4/1Beryl's Girl arrives fresh from landing a handicap by two lengths at Brighton last time, showing much needed improvement once fitted with cheekpieces up to this trip. She acts well on a sound surface and rates the one to beat on a 63 rating, though a 5lb rise means she'll have to confirm that promise.
-
William Pyle 9%6-7612No signal4/1 11/4 4/1Successful by a head off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton two starts back, he's continued that upward curve, running to form again when second, beaten just a half-length, off 1lb less than he carries today. Full of confidence on his last couple of starts and race-fit over course and distance, he wears both a tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time. Effective at 6f on any ground, he holds obvious claims off what looks a fair mark.
-
3210No signal5/1 9/2 4/1Below her best when beaten seven lengths in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Ascot last time, this filly - fitted with cheekpieces today - had been progressive before that, including a win, and rates 94 with us, second of this ten. She's effective over five and six furlongs on quicker ground, though that Ascot run did expose some limitations up in grade.
-
W P Browne 4%05-708No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Stepped up in grade and well beaten in a handicap at Dundalk last time, this gelding is an unknown quantity following his time off and rates near the foot of this large field at 66 with us. He wears a tongue-tie for the first time and is best served by all-weather ground at five or six furlongs.

Shane Foley 11%40-39No signal11/4 FCST 5/2A below-form run last time, failing to last home over 10f down the field in a maiden at Gowran Park, should find today's shorter trip much more to her liking, a distance she's already proven over. A third and a fourth also feature in four starts, and with course and going both suiting, she's one of the leading dangers on 76.
-
08-364No signal9/2 FCST 4/1Performed to expectation when beaten three and a half lengths off a 3lb higher mark at Dundalk last time, this gelding returns from a lengthy break wearing cheekpieces for the first time from a wide draw. He rates 73 with us, mid-field of thirteen, and can defy the layoff to go well again on a sound surface over this trip.
-
Alex Harvey 10%18/P-0No signal40/1A bumper winner, this mare's form has dipped over hurdles, mistakes contributing to a well-beaten effort at Punchestown last time. Two miles on softer ground should suit, and connections were successful in this race a year ago, but she needs to recapture that bumper-winning spark now over hurdles to feature.
-
Joanna Mason 12%243245No signal13/2 FCST 6/1Twice a runner-up among his last six starts and still without a win, he found turf tougher going when beaten seven lengths in a handicap at Hamilton last time, a below-par run after some good form on the all-weather. First-time cheekpieces are added as he continues to search for that first solid effort on grass, and he rates second in our figures on 63 despite the query over the surface.
-
Connor Planas 11%Brian Meehan 9%22-306No signal18/1 18/1 12/1Ridden for the trip and found short in a handicap at Ascot last time, beaten 4l having been poorly placed early, this gelding remains without a win in his recent starts and his profile may be flattered somewhat by a run in a French pattern race; he does handle a range of ground, which keeps him in the shake-up.
-
Megan Smith 0%George Boughey 18%416090No signal66/1 FCST 50/1Brasil Power struggled for pace when dropped in trip last time at Ascot, and today's test again looks short for a stayer now seen at his best over 12 to 16f. He did well on the all-weather this winter, but a full mark and first-time tongue-tie make him hard to trust here.
-
Laura Pearson 10%David Loughnane 12%285296No signal10/1 13/2 9/1In and out of form across six starts, this gelding was about right when beaten 2 1/4 lengths off a higher mark at Newmarket last time. He's proven at today's trip and ground, and a first-time eyeshield may add consistency, but needs more to feature prominently.

Effective at 8f to 10f on heavy or good ground, he's a persistent threat on our figures, with today's going still to be proven the only slight concern.

The concern is that today's race looks a stiff test for a first assignment, so she may need the experience before showing her true colours, rated 64.

J. S. Moore 7%0No signal80/1 66/1 80/1Well beaten in a maiden at Windsor on her only start, hampered and never able to get competitive, this filly clearly needs a big step forward; she does have experience over today's trip and going, but on that solitary effort a major turnaround looks necessary to feature.

Mr J Flood 0%69-No signal66/1 FCST 50/1Winless in two starts, he couldn't build on a strong debut when down the field in a bumper at Thurles last time, and returns now after a lengthy break. That solid opening effort suggests a bounce-back is possible, and course-and-distance conditions are in his corner, but a rating of just 110 makes him hard to trust.

14-0No signal7/1 FCST 13/2Down the field in a Group 3 at Chantilly last time, well below the level shown when winning two starts back, and this stable has a good record in this event, having taken it last year. Course and distance form is there, but 81 days since her latest outing and only a moderate recent level leave her the outsider of this six on a rating of 86.

Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%017250No signal6/1 9/2 6/1Yes I'm Mali's form has been patchy - a half-length win off a lower mark at Thirsk back in April sits alongside a couple of well-beaten efforts either side of it - and he may have been drawn on the wrong side last time out. Suited by this minimum trip on a sound surface, he rates no more than an each-way chance on his up-and-down record.

Alex Harvey 10%0No signal100/1 FCST 50/1Switching disciplines could be the making of this gelding, since modest Flat form may not reflect his potential over hurdles, and he is among the more highly rated here for that reason. A below-par run down the field last time and a yard short on winners, though, temper the enthusiasm somewhat.

Paul Mulrennan 14%Edward Bethell 17%27-16No signal11/2 9/2 5/1A handicap debut at Pontefract came too soon after a break, and she paid for it late on, beaten 6 lengths, though that experience should bring improvement now. She already has a win under her belt this term, but remains unproven on turf having made her mark on the all-weather so far. Effective at 6f, and unexposed enough to progress from here.

Faleh Bughenaim 15%K. R. Burke 20%1888-0No signal16/1 18/1 16/1Bottom of the field on our figures, having managed just one win in her last five starts, with three eighth-place efforts including a keen, too-free reappearance after a break at Ascot. Trip and ground are both proven, but the form that produced that win still needs rediscovering.

Stevie Donohoe 12%Ollie Sangster 14%636726No signal5/1 4/1 5/1A well-held effort at Wolverhampton last time fell short of her best, though she was runner-up two starts earlier; suited by 5-7f on good to firm or the all-weather, this yet-to-win filly could have more to offer for us at 57 if bouncing back from a stale run after a month-plus absence.

Darragh Keenan 10%George Scott 20%311241BBoD Whisper 1 signal3/1 10/3 3/1Zubaru has won three of his last six starts, following up a length win back at 6f off a lower mark at Doncaster just eight days ago. Effective at this trip on quick ground, he heads our figures at 94 and, with the yard in form, rates the one to beat despite a first-time tongue-tie.
No horse matches that.
