L J Morgan 12%658036No signal5/1 FCST 9/2Caught up in traffic at Newcastle last time, which may flatter a beaten 9-length margin; first-time cheekpieces add interest and the trip suits his range. Yet to score in his last six, but worth considering if that latest run was below his best.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Ruth Carr 12%113-69No signal11/1 FCST 10/1Won twice in his last five starts and found conditions working against him at Redcar last time — that run was needed and he should improve for it; ideally suited to 5f on AW with a workable mark, though the trainer's current form gives reason to pause.
-
Oisin Orr 14%James Owen 18%4-3364No signal5/1 7/2 5/1Fourth at Newbury last time after going for home too early and failing to hold on, beaten 3l; adds first-time cheekpieces today and could benefit from more restraint — effective at 7/8f on a sound surface and the headgear change is a genuine angle.
-
Jason Hart 14%Keiran Burke 13%7002-0No signal9/1 8/1 9/1Returning from a 136-day absence with an inconsistent recent profile — unplaced in three of his last five starts and well out of contention at Newcastle last time — though back on a workable mark and effective up to 16f on AW with a notable jockey booked.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Jim Goldie 14%2-3303No signal6/4 11/10 3/2Missed the break at Carlisle last time and had too much ground to make up on a trip that was arguably too short — beaten 2l off this same mark, and today's step up to 10f looks a clear positive. Consistent placer with a top course jockey/trainer pairing behind him.
-
—No signalSP
-
Dylan Hogan 11%421648No signal7/1 13/2 7/1Back to the mark at which he last triumphed, Anthropologist has genuine claims with the trainer in good form and first-time cheekpieces applied. He failed to land a blow at Wetherby last time, though, and needs to bounce back to his better form to feature here.
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Barry Murphy 5%84F7-3No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Third beaten 3.5 lengths at Newton Abbot last time on this exact mark — a fair effort after a break, and he handles the distance well — but he has a tendency to over-race and his reliability is questionable; this form needs building on before he can be trusted.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%751934No signal5/2 FCST 9/4Denied a clear passage at Musselburgh last time and beaten only 1½ lengths — an unlucky fourth — which paints a flattering picture of current form. Handles the mile and this going well, has won in recent starts, and a top course trainer keeps him very interesting.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Oliver Cole 11%62-252No signal17/2 15/2 17/2A close second at Newmarket just 10 days ago in her first run with a tongue-tie — beaten just half a length — and now steps into handicap company for the first time; effective at 7f on AW and with scope for further progress here.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Tina Jackson 11%2212/4No signal18/1 14/1 16/1Previously a capable middle-distance performer, Aulis put in a lifeless effort at Pontefract last time suggesting he needed the outing. He has the ability for this trip and surface, but must prove his level is still there after time off.
-
Caoilin Quinn 16%3F4/5/No signal7/2 4/1 7/2Tops our figures despite a layoff of more than two years, and holds form over this sort of trip; he's the one to beat if fit and forward. Ground with some give suits him best, and today's conditions may not be entirely ideal, though he remains a genuine threat on the strength of older form.
-
Callum Pritchard 14%Barry Murphy 5%—No signal80/1 50/1 66/1A Yorgunnabelucky mare making her debut in a first-time tongue-tie, Ayla's Star is bred from staying bloodlines — her dam showed moderate form from 10 to 19 furlongs. This initial run looks likely to be a learning experience, though the pedigree has staying potential for the future.
- B
-
Stan Sheppard 16%Tom Lacey 19%473U/2No signal4/1 9/2 4/1Finished second on his seasonal reappearance at Uttoxeter, running to his level after a layoff, and stays further than today's trip on any ground. First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces here; he tops our figures but yet to win over fences remains the note of caution.
-
Jamie Spencer 12%Lucy Wadham 17%760-06No signal17/2 8/1 15/2Back below his previous best mark now with first-time cheekpieces added, and the surface switch back to AW should help after a well-held turf run at Yarmouth last time; but he has been disappointing in his last five starts and needs to show considerably more.
-
Tom Broughton 11%Nick Kent 8%66285-No signal17/2 4/1 17/2Absent for 234 days and winless in his last five, Bannister returns in a first-time tongue-tie. He can be consistent and handles this ground, but found this course and trip beyond him last time out — today's 20 furlongs poses the same question.
-
Sean Kirrane 11%Alan Brown 9%80-079No signalSP 16/1 20/1Form has completely deserted him in recent starts, and he was left trailing at Beverley last time beaten 9 lengths. He is ideally suited to 7f on a sound surface rather than today's mile, which makes it hard to see how he can feature here.
-
Clifford Lee 17%Ed Dunlop 12%4-12No signal7/1 13/2 7/1Progressive colt beaten three-quarters of a length at Hamilton last time on a step up in trip — the form suggests an inviting opening handicap mark. Effective at eight to nine furlongs on this going; our top-rated runner by some margin and the one to beat.
-
Jamie Hamilton 10%42F-84No signal20/1 18/1 20/1Well beaten at Hexham last time after apparently hitting a flat spot when asked to quicken — stamina over today's extended trip may be an issue. Consistent on a sound surface, he acts here and a first-time tongue-tie could sharpen him; ranked 4th on our figures.
-
Bryan Smart 12%726985No signal10/1 9/1 8/1In a good position at Southwell last time but overdid it early and faded to be well beaten, Blazing Son handles 6-7f on this surface and his mark continues to ease. He needs to settle on the day and show his better form to get involved.
-
Cam Hardie 6%2-8004No signal12/1 9/1 12/1Started slowly at Chester last time and had too much ground to make up on the sharp track, yet still closed to within 1.25l off this mark; first-time cheekpieces today and best at 5f on AW — the latest run hinted at more than the finishing position suggests.
-
Callum Rodriguez 20%88-037No signal7/4 9/4 31/19Given a clear run at Ayr last time and was well placed for much of the race before going down by 4.5l, stepping up in class; first-time cheekpieces add today and he should get this longer trip, making him interesting if he builds on that performance.
-
William Pyle 9%Noel Wilson 1%0978-5No signal80/1Pulled too hard at Musselburgh last time and was beaten comfortably as a result; breeding suggests shorter trips suit better than today's 7f. A first-time hood is an attempt to settle her, but she has only beaten a handful of rivals in her five outings so far.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Jim Goldie 14%-08790No signal33/1 28/1 33/1Missed the start at Musselburgh just five days ago and was out of it throughout; out of form across several starts and at his best on an artificial surface rather than today's turf. A top course jockey and trainer combination provides slim interest but there is too little to work with.
-
Harry Bannister 13%Sara Ender 10%3/3F-4No signal100/1 FCST 80/1Struggled to raise a gallop on his hurdle debut at Southwell, finishing fourth but a massive 82 lengths adrift, having shown only modest form in points. He may simply need more time to adjust to the rules game and is difficult to fancy at this stage.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%473U/0No signal66/1 33/1 66/1Came back from a long absence and was well beaten at York most recently; that run was likely needed and it is not easy to assess his current level. First-time blinkers today; acts over this trip on a range of surfaces, but plenty to prove before he can be seriously fancied.
-
Jack Nicholls 12%Hugo Palmer 13%124-50No signal12/1 6/1 10/1Beaten 9l at Ascot last time, though the context matters — she was separated from the main action and faced a significantly tougher assignment than today. A consistent performer at the trip and on this going; first-time tongue-tie, and the step down in class plays to her strengths.
-
Rhys Elliott 7%Jim Goldie 14%69706-No signal50/1Back from a layoff of over eight months and with nothing of note to show over 7-8f in her career to date. The trainer's recent record (5 per cent from 43 runners) offers little encouragement, and she is best passed over on her first outing after such an absence.
-
Conor Rabbitt 11%Jessica Bedi 4%547-No signal10/3 17/2 10/3His flat form over middle distances suggests there's more to come once he finds his feet over hurdles, and he acts on today's going; tongue-tie applied for the first time. Yet to deliver that potential over jumps in three runs, but the underlying form is a reason to keep him in mind.
-
Jason Hart 14%5/11-4No signal18/1 10/1 16/1Twice successful in his last four starts and ran well on his comeback at Newcastle, beaten 2.25l at this same mark before fading slightly late; has a good record running fresh and returns to this surface with a top jockey booked — top-rated and the one to beat.
- C
-
-62506No signal9/2 13/2 4/1Led too soon at Newcastle last time and couldn't hold on, beaten 2l off a mark 1lb higher; back on his best mark now with a front-running style that suits this track — has landed at this course and distance before — though the wide draw and recent inconsistency leave him hard to fully trust.
-
Tom Midgley 10%Mark Walford 11%348P-No signal14/1Absent for 127 days and making his handicap debut, Captain Connor was pulled up at Kelso last time and has plenty to find, ranked 7th. First-time cheekpieces; the longer trip should suit, but he needs significant improvement to feature.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%2/1-50No signal11/4 7/4 5/2Generally progressive on the way up but beaten 9l in a handicap at Epsom on his latest outing, where interference did not help his cause. Effective at the trip and handles this going; first-time cheekpieces fitted as he returns dropping back in grade.
-
Oisin McSweeney 10%R. Mike Smith 10%111-87No signal40/1 33/1 40/1Three wins from his last five starts overall, but this season has been a different story — well beaten here last time without obvious excuse. Acts best with cut in the ground, which is the concern on good today; the course record remains a compelling angle if he finds his earlier form.
-
Jamie Spencer 12%Michael Bell 13%44-534No signal5/2 4/1 5/2Consistent through her recent starts and effective at 7-8f on AW, Cixi brings experience to bear in this company and was beaten only 5½l at Goodwood last time. She holds the top spot on our figures and she looks fairly weighted against these rivals.
-
William Carver 10%33-3No signal4/1 3/1 7/2Third on each of her last three starts without quite getting over the line, Clementines Star was close up at Bath most recently and handles this surface. There should be more to come and she has more experience than several rivals here.
-
Pam Sly 13%647No signal12/1 FCST 11/1Beaten well back in a novice at this course last time after losing touch with the pace — a below-par effort dropping back in trip; steps back up to a more suitable distance now on handicap debut, and there may be more to come, but he needs to show his best.
-
Jack Callan 14%Robert Cowell 13%17226-No signal14/1 FCST 12/1Out for 197 days since tiring in the late stages at Wolverhampton, beaten 4.25l; was in good form before that run and is suited by 5f on AW — adds first-time cheekpieces today — but the long layoff means he has plenty to prove off our bottom figure.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%12-442BBoD Whisper 1 signal9/4 7/4 9/4Consistent form over 10-12f on AW with a close second at Kempton last time off a mark just 2lb lower, Club Class arrives with a reasonable mark and a trainer in good form. First-time cheekpieces add interest, though she just needs to edge her level up.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%John Butler 13%73TTop Rated Whisper 1 signal5/2 FCST 9/4Showed clear improvement over 6f at York last time, finishing third with that form since boosted — experience is a significant advantage over the debutants. Bred to get a touch further and the trip suits; gives a solid benchmark in this small field.
-
Jack Callan 14%Tom Clover 17%218No signal25/1 20/1 25/1Struggled on her turf debut at Windsor last time, trailing in well beaten; the switch back to AW is a genuine positive and she has the pace for this trip, but the maiden success that launched her had limitations and she has to prove more at handicap level.
-
P2/225No signal6/1 13/2 11/2Beaten 9½l at Southwell last time but that followed three close seconds that show he retains his ability — on his old form he holds a major advantage over these rivals. Effective here and over this distance on sound ground; first-time tongue-tie, and rated 2nd on our figures.
-
0-5No signal40/1 28/1 40/1Took a step forward from debut experience at Kempton last time despite racing keenly, Coxy's Star handles this trip and surface and returns after a break. She still has plenty to prove and will need significant improvement to feature from this position.
-
Bryan Carver 13%Alex Hales 11%56-912No signal5/1 11/2 5/1Back to something like his best form, with a narrow three-quarter-length win at Worcester two runs back followed by a solid second last time, beaten five lengths off 93; 1lb higher now but handles this distance on good ground well. An inconsistent sort overall, but the recent upturn makes him a genuine contender.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Ivan Furtado 10%37-840No signal18/1 9/1 18/1Pulled hard and was out of contention throughout at Beverley last time — form has been heading in the wrong direction in her last few runs. That said, she acts on the going and is well-treated on a mark of 50, making her a threat if more settled here.
-
Taryn Langley 10%Joey Ramsden 7%2-5684No signal22/1 18/1 22/1Beaten 5½l at Wolverhampton last time, where she was left behind for pace and looked to want a stiffer test, Crystal Dagger returns after 75 days and handles this trip and surface. Her form has dipped of late and she can be too keen, which limits her appeal here.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%10-485No signal17/2 11/1 17/2Effective over 10-12f on any surface and performing consistently at Kempton just six days ago, Crystal Mariner has course-and-distance experience and handles the conditions. Inconsistency remains the main reservation and the mark may still be against him.
- D
-
Jason Hart 14%Jack Jones 12%25-440No signal14/1Salisbury clearly didn't suit on his most recent run, finishing down the field, but earlier form was more encouraging; first-time cheekpieces added today with a top course jockey retained, and he's effective at 7/8f here — the headgear change is worth respecting.
-
586-89No signalSP
-
James Bowen 20%3344-FNo signal13/2 9/2 6/1His latest outing ended in a fall at Uttoxeter, which doesn't reflect his ability — he'd been posting consistent placed finishes prior and handles 2m on a sound surface. Tongue-tie applied for the first time here and a break since; the fall is expected to leave no mark and he's entitled to come on.
-
David Nolan 12%Donald McCain 15%318-35No signal7/1 6/1 7/1Back towards an appealing mark at a trip that suits — effective 11-16f — after being held up off a steady early pace at Chester last time; that flat-track test may not have played to his strengths and a more positive ride could unlock more here.
-
Jonathan Burke 15%Toby Bulgin 28%78-No signal12/1 FCST 11/1Beaten out of sight in his latest point outing and making little impression in points overall, Don De La Frontera is hard to recommend ranked last on our figures. The stable has produced bumper debut winners this year — market support would be the trigger to reconsider.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%-20042No signal10/3 4/1 3/1Went down by a neck at Musselburgh last time back up in trip, off this same mark, the better of two consecutive improved efforts on returning to form. First-time cheekpieces fitted; versatile over trip and ground, and the top course trainer is an added advantage — a clear threat.
- F
-
2/O-13BBoD Whisper 1 signal3/1 4/1 11/4Went close at Worcester last time, beaten a length despite doing too much early on his first handicap start, which tells you his ability is there; handles 2m on a sound surface. Hood and tongue-tie on for the first time here, which should help him produce his best.
-
Cam Hardie 6%—No signal125/1 80/1 125/1Unraced but with notable breeding interest, For Ever Hopefull is an Invincible Army filly with a half-sister useful over a mile. Her dam was sharp at 5f at two, but this is debut day against more experienced rivals and she is best treated with caution.
-
Edward Greatrex 14%Warren Greatrex 15%53211-No signal5/1 9/2 5/1Two wins from his last five Flat starts, Forever Penywern was just 1¼l short off a mark 20lb higher than today’s in his most recent effort and arrives well treated on his best form. Proven over this trip and surface, he shapes as the one to beat.
-
Rowan Scott 11%Donald Whillans 13%0-9605No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Held comfortably in a classified race here last time and yet to score throughout recent outings. A first-time tongue-tie suggests a breathing issue he still needs to demonstrate has been resolved; effective over 7-8f and acts on the going, but needs to show a good deal more.
-
Charlie Maggs 14%Clare Ellam 3%-33242No signal8/1 7/1 8/1Back to his best last time at Bangor-on-Dee, runner-up beaten 2.25 lengths off this exact mark — he races off the front foot and handles 3m on good ground well. Quick turnaround from nine days ago but first-time cheekpieces add a new dimension; inconsistency is the caveat but the recent form is encouraging.
-
Sean Quinlan 15%Jedd O'Keeffe 13%544-61No signal13/8 7/4 3/2Dropped in class and down 7lb in the weights, he dominated a handicap here last time by 9 lengths, confirming he sees out this trip on decent ground. First-time blinkers, but he's well treated on his better form and rates a clear danger.
- G
-
Sean Bowen 24%Ian Williams 11%182-2PNo signal11/2 5/1 11/2A course-and-distance winner over hurdles and fences on a fair mark, but his last outing at Uttoxeter was one where he was arguably asked to reappear too quickly. First-time cheekpieces now with conditions to suit, he's capable of running a big race back at a venue where he's proven himself.
-
Tom Broughton 11%Fergal O'Brien 15%P34-13No signal15/2 8/1 13/2Showed his potential when landing a handicap by 10 lengths at Stratford two runs back, though he was well off that level in a higher grade last time, beaten a long way. Tongue-tie applied and 1lb lower here, his connections have a strong record in this event; consistency is the main doubt.
-
Sean Kirrane 11%R. Mike Smith 10%-53567No signal18/1 16/1 18/1A veteran on a mark that looks manageable, he acts well on the going and is effective up to 13f. But underwhelming of late — beaten over 6 lengths here last time — and his record in recent starts shows little consistency.
-
David Allan 13%R. Mike Smith 10%06-578No signal11/1 12/1 11/1Beaten 9 lengths here last time on what appeared unsuitably soft ground — today's better conditions are more in his favour, and first-time cheekpieces suggest connections are trying to find the spark again. Effective over 7-8f on this going; yet to score in recent outings and attitude is a concern.
-
Rian Corcoran 16%Alex Hales 11%26-4F2No signal5/1Beaten just over a length at Southwell last time off a slightly lower mark, Gone In Sixty arrives in fair shape over a trip he handles on suitable going. A course configuration like this should suit his preferences, and rated 4th on our figures he must be respected.
-
Tom Bellamy 16%Alan King 16%72111-BBoDWHTW Nod 2 signals11/4 9/4 11/4Three wins in her last five, including a two-and-a-half-length handicap success at Stratford last time despite encountering trouble in running — the record speaks and she handles this trip and going well. The trainer is in good form, there's a short layoff to overcome, but she rates the likeliest winner.
-
Tom Broughton 11%Max Comley 13%6No signal66/1 40/1 66/1Unable to match the early gallop on her bumper debut at Southwell, Guerdale was well beaten and has plenty to find against more exposed rivals here. With just the one run behind her, she needs significant improvement to feature.
-
David Egan 14%John Butler 13%300-79No signal7/1Proven over this trip and surface, Gunfighter is on a downward spiral and raced far too keenly at Brighton last time, beaten 10l. His recent form has been regressive and he needs to settle better to get involved.
-
Rhys Elliott 7%Katie Scott 10%1-7040No signal40/1 33/1 40/1Beaten 10l at York last time without obvious excuse, a result consistent with a difficult season overall. Operates below his last winning mark here and acts at this trip and on the going, but his pattern this term makes him hard to support.
- H
-
Sean Kirrane 11%Michael Dods 12%441220No signal22/1 12/1 20/1Won at Wetherby in April and placed twice since, but well below that level when 10th last time without clear excuse. Same mark today and first-time cheekpieces fitted; acts at the trip on a sound surface, but needs to show his earlier consistency again.
-
Jack Callan 14%Tom Clover 17%33-32No signal4/1 5/2 4/1Runner-up at Kempton last time beaten 2l and steadily finding a better level with each run, Hamda’s Joy has been placed on all four career starts and handles this surface. She looks close to landing one at this level and is the selection’s chief rival.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%Oliver Cole 11%5No signal17/2 11/1 8/1A fifth on debut at Bath, beaten 3¼l, showed ability if lacking the pace of the leaders, and Honky Tonk Girl should build on that initial experience. She has scope for a step forward second time out, and her rating places her among the leading hopes here.
-
Jack Andrews 13%Tom Ellis 13%771-23No signal9/4Held up in his races, he landed a five-length success at Bangor-on-Dee three starts back off a mark 10lb lower, and ran with credit last time — third beaten four lengths — on the same mark as today. First-time tongue-tie here; consistent enough in form but the handicapper may have caught up with him.
- I
-
James Bowen 20%Barry Murphy 5%7-2233No signal10/1 15/2 10/1Beaten 3 lengths at Newton Abbot last time, going well until being worn down in the closing stages, I Am Spider Man has placed in each of his last four starts. Top-rated on our figures, he acts over this distance on good ground and looks capable of going one better.
-
Paula Muir 10%Wilf Storey 14%476-65No signal40/1 28/1 33/1This is her second run back from a wind operation with her mark below her best level — those are positives. Made excessive use of at Doncaster last time and needs to settle better here; effective at this trip and goes on the going, but improvement in tactics is essential.
-
Jack Quinlan 15%Louise Allan 6%6U-42No signal40/1 28/1 40/1Showed much better form when runner-up at Tabley latest, beaten 3 lengths in a maiden point, and returns after a short break. Placed in a point race, he may still be learning the Rules game, but has enough about him to be considered at 5th on our figures.
-
Harry Bannister 13%Sara Ender 10%615-32No signal17/2 15/2 8/1Back to something like his best at Southwell last time, beaten 3¼l on a slightly lower mark, Indian Sunbird usually settles in the rear and is effective at today's trip and going. Ranked 7th on our figures, his mark looks about right and he can be competitive.
-
M. P. Sheehy 8%Adrian Keatley 15%—No signal16/1 11/1 14/1By top-class sprinter Starman out of smart sprinter Stormy Clouds, making him an appealing prospect at the minimum trip; the family is well established at 6f. A stable capable of producing winners first time out — our top-rated debutant and worth following in the market.
-
Clifford Lee 17%K. R. Burke 20%—No signal4/9 5/14 7/16By high-class sprinter Unfortunately and a half-brother to Sanaam, a very useful 7f performer — the speed heritage combined with a useful dam suggests significant ability at this trip. From a yard with a strong first-time-out strike-rate; priced to go well on debut.
- J
-
Sean Bowen 24%Laura Horsfall 12%4414-1No signal11/2 4/1 11/2Landed a handicap at Fontwell last time off a 5lb lower mark, making full use of a clear lead and holding on by a neck. Acts over today's trip on sound ground; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, and looks fairly handicapped on his best despite the rise in mark.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%Andi Brown 12%421-77No signal18/1 11/1 18/1Won on this surface and distance in recent starts, Jimmy Knocker was beaten 7l at Newmarket last time and looked held for pace at 6f. The step up to 7f suits, and a first-time tongue-tie is applied, but a revival is needed after two poor showings.
-
Jack Nicholls 12%Iain Jardine 12%445734No signal3/1 7/2 3/1Beaten just a length at Carlisle last time off this very mark, and handles today's conditions well over 6-7f. Below the level at which he has previously done well and clearly capable of going close again — a chief danger even without a recent win.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Jamie Osborne 12%453215BBoD Whisper 1 signal4/1 5/1 4/1Won by a short-head at Leicester two starts back and held his own at the same mark last time over an extended trip; adds a first-time tongue-tie to the cheekpieces that have brought out his best of late, and handles 14f on AW.
-
P. J. McDonald 14%Andrew Balding 18%25-349No signal10/3 11/4 10/3Generally consistent over this sort of trip on any surface, Jupiter Ammon flopped in cheekpieces at Chester last time but returns off a break without that headgear. Winless in his last five starts, he needs a revival but handles the conditions and the mark is workable.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Charlie Johnston 13%383445No signal18/1Hit the front too soon at Wolverhampton seven days ago and was beaten 3l off this same mark; consistent around fourth and third in recent efforts on AW and a quick turnaround is not unusual, but more will be needed to trouble the front-runners here.
-
Liam Harrison 11%Fergal O'Brien 15%4PP-23No signal16/1 9/1 16/1Her chase mark is fair enough but reliability is the question — her latest Newton Abbot run saw her pushed forward too hard, finishing a remote third by 43 lengths. Acts on this going and should get the trip, but being overworked in front could recur.
- K
-
Susan Corbett 10%33075-No signal17/2His Irish form suggests the mark is workable over this sort of trip, but nine months off the track is a significant question mark; a first run for a new stable adds further uncertainty. He may simply need this to find his footing and is hard to fancy strongly in that context.
-

This is his second start after the operation and a tongue-tie is added, but his current mark demands plenty.

Daniel Muscutt 14%Joseph Parr 12%479687No signal3/1 10/3 3/1Top-rated on our figures, Tennessee Gold arrives 10lb below his last winning mark and wearing a first-time visor. He has been well below par in recent outings but suits the trip and surface, and the drop in the weights gives him a chance.
-
Conor Whiteley 15%David O'Meara 13%8-0545No signal7/2 4/1 10/3Matched his form at Redcar last time despite missing the start, beaten 2.5l off a mark 1lb higher than today's; first-time tongue-tie applied. Course form to call on and his mark has crept below his last winning level; consistent enough to be a real threat.
-
0000-6TTop Rated Whisper 1 signal5/1 5/2 5/1Missed the break at The Curragh last time, left with too much to do, and beaten 3.25l off this same mark — the step up in trip here looks the key positive. First-time tongue-tie applied; a dropping mark and a trainer in good form provide some encouragement.
-
Sean Bowen 24%Neil Mulholland 15%23324-No signal5/1 5/1 9/2A consistent placer prior to his Huntingdon flop — beaten 30 lengths there with nothing to mitigate it — and he handles the trip and conditions well enough. A fresh run from a short layoff, but he needs to bounce back from that effort to be competitive here.
-
Philip Kirby 8%434-P8No signal33/1Well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time when asked to tackle this trip, Time Was is ranked last on our figures and has been inconsistent throughout. First-time cheekpieces, and effective at today's distance; but her recent form makes her hard to recommend.
-
Cam Hardie 6%6-0206No signal7/1 8/1 7/1Suited by 6-7f on a sound surface and on the same mark as last time, Tough Enough was caught in the wrong position at Chester behind a front-runner. He has a long winless run behind him, though, and needs things to fall kindly to get involved.
-
-00422No signal6/4 5/4 3/2Back in form with two placed efforts recently, including a close second off this same mark last time, and a first-time visor adds interest today. Acts on the going over today's trip; yet to score in his last five but the mark looks generous and he heads the field on our figures.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Linda Perratt 10%488507No signal10/1 13/2 10/1Left the stalls slowly at Newcastle again last time and found little when asked, well beaten. His hold-up style requires racing fortune and draw 12 is not ideal; effective at 7-8f on this going, and a top course jockey is an advantage.

Rob Hornby 12%Andrew Balding 18%09-830No signal8/1Back after an absence with the visor retained and a wide draw at stall 8; has struggled to match his best in recent starts and most effective at 5f on fast ground, which makes this an awkward assignment, though the handicapper is easing his mark.
-
Rhys Elliott 7%Jim Goldie 14%—No signal33/1 18/1 25/1Colt by top-class middle-distance performer Churchill out of a fair miler — pedigree suggests this sprint trip may stretch him at this stage of his career. A modest purchase price and likely in need of experience on debut; one to watch later in the campaign.
-
Jason Watson 13%Gay Kelleway 12%9-No signal50/1Well beaten on her debut at Musselburgh nearly eight months ago, Twilight Baby clearly needed the experience and a long absence follows. She handles the trip and this is a softer test than her first run, but a major improvement on that outing is required.

Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%2-8815No signal17/2 15/2 17/2Landed a short-head at Hamilton two starts back and is back on the same mark here, acts on the going and stays this trip. Set too fast a pace last time out beaten 5 lengths, but the conditions suit and the top course yard's record counts.

James Fanshawe 18%53/71-No signal17/2 14/1 15/2A winner on the Sunshine Coast off the same mark as today, Vaguer arrives for his debut in this yard after a near-18-month break and will likely need the run. The trainer is firing well but he is an unknown quantity on this surface.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Mike Murphy 12%80No signal100/1 125/1 100/1Beaten home by all rivals in her most recent start at Yarmouth, Victorian Rose is bred for longer distances and will likely need to step up in trip to fulfil her potential. Major improvement on her two starts to date is required here.
-
Rob Hornby 12%Neil King 22%561257No signal12/1 16/1 11/1Won here last April off a mark just 1lb lower, Victors Spirit has solid course form to recommend him on this return to the AW. He was well below par on his latest outing, but drops 2lb and his usual hood goes back on as an additional positive.
-
Keiran Burke 13%506851No signal17/2 13/2 17/2Won by 2½l at Newcastle just nine days ago off a mark 5lb lower than today’s, Vitalline looks fairly handicapped on his best form and this AW surface suits him. First-time blinkers and tongue-tie go on today, which adds another positive angle.

Jack Callan 14%Charlie Johnston 13%1065-0No signal8/1 11/1 15/2Second-rated on our figures, Wadacre Maestro returns after 88 days and was well beaten at Catterick last time in a race that got away from him early. He handles 7f well on a sound surface but his form on AW is untested, which is the chief uncertainty.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%David O'Meara 13%0-3108No signal14/1 FCST 12/1Won off a 3lb lower mark at Pontefract three starts back and has generally been moving forward, but was unable to get into it when eighth at the mile last time, beaten 4.25l. Drops 1lb in mark today and acts at the trip and on this going; the revised figure may be just enough.
-
Jim Goldie 14%314655No signal11/2 4/1 11/2Outpaced and needing a sterner test at Hamilton last time, beaten 2.5l off a 2lb higher mark — the distance angle is in his favour today. Generally consistent and handles any going at this trip; the stable has a strong record in this race and he is well respected off 64.

James Bowen 20%Mickey Bowen 16%10-32UWHTW Whisper 1 signalevn 11/10 10/11Heads our figures as a dual bumper winner who should be hitting his stride over hurdles; connections have a strong record in this event and he has form at this trip on a sound surface. Last run ended in an unseating but first-time cheekpieces mark a fresh angle.

Mr Lucas Murphy 19%Iain Jardine 12%304-61No signal15/8 11/4 7/4Overcame a slow start to land a handicap at Carlisle last time off a 4lb lower mark, a confidence-boosting effort. The drop back to 5f is the key question given her better form has come at 7f; trainer in good form, and she showed genuine resolve to get the head in front.
-
Charlie Maggs 14%Rebecca Menzies 11%UP-06PNo signal18/1 18/1 16/1Dropped to a much reduced mark after a run of failures including two pull-ups in recent starts, William Of York returns in first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces. He likes to bowl along from the front and acts over this trip; a badly out-of-form trainer is the concern.
-
Jim Goldie 14%014927No signal3/1 10/3 11/4Won at Musselburgh in April off a 4lb lower mark and was progressing well until a below-par seventh last time up in class. Back at the same level today in a more suitable grade; effective at this trip, acts on the going, and the stable has a strong record in this race.

Danny McMenamin 15%Brian Ellison 10%1216P-No signal10/1 9/1 10/1Off for 150 days after a pull-up at Doncaster on his last outing, You Did had shown good form prior — landing two races in his last five. Acts here over today's trip; first-time cheekpieces, though he needs to find more off his current mark to get competitive.

Brendan Powell 11%Karen Jewell 4%2No signal7/1 11/2 7/1Finished runner-up on her bumper debut at Plumpton, beaten 5½l, with subsequent events backing up that debut form. Acts on this going at today's trip and should progress; rated 3rd on our figures, she is one of the stronger dangers in this field.

Daniel Tudhope 18%R. Mike Smith 10%50-954SSteamer Whisper 1 signal9/2 7/1 4/1Beaten 3 lengths by the winner here last time at this mark, and handles Ayr and today's conditions well over the trip. Out of form for much of this year but that run hinted at revival — yet to score of late, though she is a chief danger.
-
James Bowen 20%Charlie Longsdon 16%9563-4No signal10/1 11/1 9/1His Warwick run last time was more of a blowout — fourth beaten 38 lengths — and he's inconsistent, but he handles this distance and going well and first-time cheekpieces add a new variable. A fresher look could revive him, though confidence in his reliability is limited.
No horse matches that.
