-
Jake Dickson 12%Jim Goldie 14%187733No signal7/2 10/3 3/1Back in form and on the mark off which he won earlier this year, Abduction ran to his level when placed last time; acts on this going at this trip, and a yard with a strong course record adds confidence, though stall 10 is wide.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%David Loughnane 12%85U530No signal13/2 13/2 6/1Well beaten at Chester last time, running some way below his level over 6f, but a return to this course could suit a horse who typically races prominently and acts well on the all-weather. He adds a first-time eyeshield today; boasts a top course jockey and his current official mark leaves scope for a return to form if he gets back on track here.
-
U-002No signal14/1Shaped with renewed promise at Downpatrick latest, finishing runner-up at long odds beaten 2l on going he handles; effective up to 2m6f and not without a chance if building on that effort, though ranked 13th on our figures and his trainer has struggled for results recently.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%76860No signal14/1 11/1 14/1Returning to the mile after failing to see out a longer trip at Windsor, she has course-and-distance form here and tries first-time blinkers which may help; there is still ground to find but she ranks third among these on our figures.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%123-34No signal9/1 8/1 9/1Fourth here last time, caught behind a front-runner who dominated throughout; she has solid course credentials, her trainer is in excellent form at this venue, and she stays well, though the ground may not have quite enough give for her at its best.
-
-88705No signalSP
-
Ivan Furtado 10%2-5626No signal17/2 FCST 15/2An inconsistent filly who has shown ability on this surface but also posted some poor efforts in recent starts; she was beaten 4l here on a pound higher mark after being slow from the gate, and the mark is fractionally lower now, though the trainer's recent run of form adds a note of caution.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Robert Cowell 13%421V08No signal7/1 13/2 7/1Effective at 5f on a sound surface and inclined to race prominently, he has previously landed a race at this type of level but has been well below par in his last two outings. Dropped 2lb here from his last start, yet he looks to need considerably more off this mark to figure at the finish.
-
Jason Hart 14%Charlie Johnston 13%5-33No signal6/5 FCST 11/10Solid at this trip on sound ground, she put up a consistent display when a length third at Beverley 13 days ago and sets the standard on recent form. A rangy filly who looks capable of further progress, she is right in the mix.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Jim Goldie 14%862413No signal9/2 7/2 4/1Third last time despite missing the break and encountering interference, which masked his true ability; he landed a handicap at Hamilton two runs ago off a 4lb lower mark and returns on the same rating, with a strong local jockey/trainer partnership a further plus.
-
Mr J M Halford 12%625-4No signal11/1 10/1 11/1Fourth beaten 3l in a novice hurdle at Downpatrick last time, she remains unexposed at this distance and acts with give in the ground; the first-time tongue-tie applied here could aid her. The trainer is out of form currently, but she rates a leading threat ranked second on our figures.
-
V C Ward 2%88-5No signal33/1 28/1 33/1Placed eighth twice before finishing fifth last time, beaten eight lengths in a mares bumper, she has experience at today's distance and going; our rating marks her among the outsiders and she may need a step up beyond 2m in time to show her best.
-
45-No signal14/1Returning from close to a year off, this mare has form at today's trip and going but was beaten clearly when matching her debut level at Cork last time; our figures have her at the foot of the field and she has it all to prove.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Iain Jardine 12%7652No signal8/1 13/2 15/2Put up a fine handicap debut last time, finishing second beaten 1.5 lengths off today's unchanged mark despite missing the start; the trainer is in form and she acts on this trip and going, with our figures ranking her clear at the top — though she draws wide from stall 13.
-
Harry Davies 13%—No signal10/1 13/2 10/1A 600,000gns Too Darn Hot colt who arrives on debut carrying useful pedigree credentials — his half-brother has shown smart form at 12f and beyond, though his dam was moderate at that trip. The yard's record with newcomers merits attention if market support materialises.
-
David Probert 13%992-73No signal8/1 5/1 8/1Shaped encouragingly 21 days ago, finishing 4½l third at Chepstow in first-time tongue-tie and visor; effective at this sort of trip on all surfaces, and the positive headgear switch gives him a chance of building on that solid effort.
-
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%-77313No signal6/1 13/2 11/2Ashen won here two starts back off a lower mark and ran to his level when third last time up in class; acts on this going and trip, though stall 11 is wide and the mark is now higher than his winning one.
-
Sam Ewing 12%Peter Fahey 11%270-22No signal7/2 FCST 10/3Showed renewed vigour when dropping in class at Ballinrobe last time, finishing second in a handicap hurdle, and is effective at 2m on good; our third-rated runner, she has the profile to stay competitive and shapes as a clear danger here.
-
Hector Crouch 18%William Knight 14%6-2230No signal9/2 4/1 9/2After running poorly at Doncaster — an awkward beginning disrupted his race — he had been posting consistent placed finishes beforehand and acts on the AW; first-time cheekpieces accompany the return to the mile, and a return to form is possible.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Katie Scott 10%85No signal28/1 25/1 28/1Beaten 4 lengths in a maiden last time, an improved effort on her debut outing but still only fifth; bred to come into her own over further and the wide draw from stall 8 is an additional concern. A significant step forward would be needed to feature here.
- B
-
Julie Camacho 11%9306-2No signal8/1 11/2 15/2Second last time at Carlisle where he performed to his mark, Baba Reza is effective at 6f and at home on the all-weather as well as on turf; inconsistency is the caveat, but if he builds on that effort he is firmly in the picture.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Katie Scott 10%-96592No signal12/1 11/1 12/1Back to a better level last time, beaten 2.5 lengths off a 1lb higher mark, which offered a positive sign; however, she is inconsistent, draw 10 is wide, and on our figures she sits outside the main market movers, making her hard to recommend with confidence.
-
A. McCann 8%5F52-1No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Landed an auction bumper at Stowlin by three-quarters of a length last time and adds a first-time hood today; she placed second before that and heads our ratings as the one to beat on recent form.
-
George Bass 12%Denis Coakley 11%42-159SSteamer Whisper 1 signal3/1 10/3 3/1A winner three runs back and runner-up on the start before that, he is well-suited to this trip and the all-weather surface; a pair of disappointing runs since then means a recovery is needed to get involved here.
-
Terence O'Brien 12%300-00No signal20/1 FCST 16/1Well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time and in need of a better display; she handles today's trip and decent ground well, wanting 3m, and our rating of 92 places her mid-division, though four consecutive unplaced finishes in her recent record are a concern.
-
05-No signal25/1Tackling hurdles for the first time after a lengthy absence and fitted with a first-time tongue-tie, this filly placed fifth at Punchestown in her last bumper start but showed limited ability across her bumper outings and has plenty to prove stepping into this new discipline.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%3No signal9/4 7/4 31/19Caught the eye on her debut at Lingfield, finishing with a late flourish despite a slow break, going down by just 1¼ lengths in third; effective over the trip and a likely improver, she draws stall 2 among the leading threats here.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Ivan Furtado 10%92-163No signal15/2 FCST 13/2Showing consistent form at this trip and going, Blakefell was narrowly beaten off this mark last time and has the profile to go close again; the trainer has been out of form recently, which is the main note against.
-
0-No signal125/1 100/1 125/1Well beaten on his only start in a bumper at Punchestown, he now switches to hurdling after nearly 70 days off the track; significant improvement will be needed for him to play a role here, and our figures have him ranked last in the field.
-
0P8-97No signal18/1 12/1 16/1Equipped with first-time tongue-tie and blinkers and rated fourth here, he has experience at today's conditions and carries a useful weight; his recent form has been in decline and he's at his best over shorter than today's trip, so a positive response is needed.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Charlie Johnston 13%0-4688No signal25/1 18/1 20/1Born A Star has been out of sorts this term and ran too freely last time, beaten over 8 lengths; while he acts at this trip and going, his rating sits at the foot of the field.
-
Oisin Orr 14%773No signal5/1Third at Ayr on his most recent start and now making his handicap debut, Brash arrives with scope on better ground and ranks second on our figures; his record shows effectiveness at 6f though his ability to quicken over the closing stages is the main question.
-
David Egan 14%Julie Camacho 11%977-62No signal14/1 11/1 14/1Second at Newcastle in a classified race last time out, beaten just three quarters of a length when dropped in grade; but that was over five months ago and he faces a stiff test back in handicap company, with more required — first-time cheekpieces applied.
-
Luke Dace 11%23-651No signal5/1 4/1 5/1Won at Kempton just seven days ago, landing a handicap by a neck and running to his best on the Flat; effective over this trip and going, though the penalty he now carries raises the bar and he may need to find extra to follow up.
- C
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Linda Perratt 10%6-1005No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Fitted with first-time blinkers, he showed well at Newcastle last time on a mark 20lb higher, beaten just 2 lengths when the pace collapsed late; effective over 5-7f but all wins have come on all-weather, so today's turf test poses questions despite his reduced mark.
-
Tim Easterby 11%612215No signal10/1 FCST 9/1Disappointed last time, finishing fifth beaten 6 lengths off a mark only a pound below today's despite looking to travel well early; first-time cheekpieces are fitted and the trainer has a fine record at this course, but she may need easier ground and the mark still asks more.
-
Scott Dixon 7%232474No signal25/1 18/1 22/1Fourth at Ffos Las last time in a below-par effort, Candy Warhol has yet to win in recent starts and needs to raise his game considerably; stall 12 is a wide draw, though first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are fitted and he handles this surface.
-
49No signal33/1Finished well down the field in a Limerick maiden hurdle last time after placing fourth previously, this mare has experience at today's trip and going and may hold more in reserve; a trainer struggling for form of late makes it hard to fancy.
-
Joanna Mason 12%Katie Scott 10%7-767No signal25/1 20/1 22/1Made her handicap debut here last time but was beaten 9 lengths and the Irish maiden form beneath that offers little evidence to work with; handles today's distance and conditions, though she has finished 7th or worse in all four recent starts and remains hard to weigh up.
-
Keith Donoghue 13%Gavin Cromwell 11%/6510-No signal9/1 17/2 9/1Landed a win in his last four starts but his hurdles debut at Down Royal left a lot to be desired; back from 111 days off and now fitted with a first-time hood, he needs a sizeable step forward to feature here at 2m.
-
Joey Haynes 10%Chelsea Banham 15%6No signal125/1 80/1 125/1Beaten well adrift on his only start at Hamilton, never threatening from off the pace, he now steps up 2f in trip and needs major improvement to play a part here.
-
Una Corcoran 29%0-No signal28/1Showed too much early enthusiasm on his bumper debut at Punchestown, finishing well beaten, and now switches to hurdling after a break of over two months; considerable improvement required to figure here.
-
Sean Levey 13%Richard Hannon 12%6No signal11/4 3/1 5/2Sixth on debut at Newbury, beaten 3 lengths in a novice, he showed enough despite being short of early pace; the step to 7f here is expected to bring out more, and he tops our figures in this field.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%Tony Carroll 13%717699No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Wearing a visor for the first time, she handles this trip and surface and her trainer has a strong record at this course — genuine positives; but she was well beaten at Brighton last time, below her best despite some excuse, and needs to show improved form to threaten here.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Alan Brown 9%6No signal66/1 50/1 66/1Unable to quicken on her Hamilton debut 11 days ago, she was beaten 9 lengths in a maiden and clearly needs to find more. Bred to appreciate 6 furlongs and beyond, there is scope for improvement with experience, though the current grade is a test.
-
David Probert 13%Max Young 2%824463No signal9/2 11/4 9/2Shaped well back at 10f here latest, beaten just 2l off a 1lb higher mark; he handles the all-weather and varying ground and ranks second in our figures. Still yet to win, but showed enough to be a serious contender at this course.
-
Des Donovan 8%78No signal50/1 40/1 50/1Well held in her two outings — 7th and 8th in novice company including at Lingfield most recently — she sits at the foot of our ratings here and needs a significant step forward, though handicapping in due course could bring improvement.
-
63-45No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Returning from a 170-day absence and obvious fitness questions need to be answered; she acts on AW and should see out today's mile, her trainer is in good form at present, but the current rating gives her little room and she was well beaten at Southwell last time — hard to rely on cold.
-
E Sheehy 4%6390-5No signal14/1 FCST 12/1Finished fifth, beaten eight lengths, in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last time, appearing short of pace and likely having needed that run; first-time cheekpieces are added, and she handles today's distance and going, though an inconsistent record and a ranking of 13th on our figures limit her appeal.
-
Jack Mitchell 16%Roger Varian 20%55No signal13/2 5/1 6/1Beaten five lengths at Wolverhampton most recently, matching the form of her first start, she wears a hood for the first time today; her trainer is in good form and she is well bred with more to offer over ten furlongs on this surface.
-
Phil McEntee 11%43-089No signal40/1Disappointing in each of his last three starts, including a distant effort in a classified race at Bath most recently; effective at 5/6f on a sound surface, and first-time tongue-tie and visor represent a change of approach, though his figures leave him needing a significant step forward.
-
0-00No signal33/1Down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel 31 days ago, he has shown little in his last three starts; ranked 17th on our figures and rated below the majority of this field. Making his handicap debut here and a significant step forward is required for him to factor.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%4No signal6/1 4/1 6/1Stepped up to 7f for the first time after a debut fourth at Newbury — finishing there despite a tardy start — and the extra yardage looks the right call given he acts on good to soft. The trip extension is the key angle and he rates a live danger, ranked fourth on our figures.
-
Darragh O'Keeffe 13%57-4No signal8/1 15/2 8/1Plugged on to fourth at Tramore last time over 2m, showing a touch of advancement in the process; handles cut and good ground and a trainer in fine form offers encouragement, though winless in recent starts and needs to step forward to be a factor.
-
Greg Fairley 6%Katie Scott 10%526408No signal66/1 50/1 66/1Out of sorts when beaten over 8 lengths in a handicap at Musselburgh last time and without a win in his last six starts; better suited to artificial surfaces and this turf assignment is tough, though the official mark and trip are within his effective range.
-
Clifford Lee 17%Hugo Palmer 13%604-93No signal7/2 10/3 11/4Third last time out after showing improved form beaten 2 lengths off this mark at Hamilton, he steps into first-time cheekpieces here and merits consideration on our figures; the question is whether he truly stays 10 furlongs having shown his best form at a shorter trip.
-
3806-6No signal12/1 FCST 11/1Held on her handicap debut at Listowel last time, she has not built on a promising early showing in recent runs; effective at 2m and acts on decent ground with the first-time hood applied here. Ranked third on our figures and there is a case for her, though consistency is what is needed.
-
3276-7No signal14/1 FCST 12/1Useful early form that was endorsed at Listed level, though winless in his last five starts and well beaten at Downpatrick latest in what appeared a gentle outing; dons a hood here and handles this distance and going, but more is needed.
-
Darragh O'Keeffe 13%Ross O'Sullivan 10%950F-0No signal16/1 FCST 14/1Down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick on her latest start, she has shown little in recent efforts which include a fall; rated well below the majority of these on our figures. Capable of getting slightly further in time, but considerable improvement is needed here.
-
—No signal40/1A Gamut mare making her racecourse debut, she brings pedigree interest to a wide-open contest but with no racecourse form to assess, she faces the usual uncertainty of a debutante in a competitive field.
-
M. P. Sheehy 8%Adrian Keatley 15%-33940No signal25/1 18/1 25/1Erratic of late and below his best when dropped in trip at Hamilton most recently, today's 6f trip better matches his effective range; trainer is in form and a 50-day break is a potential plus, but a wing draw from stall 1 in this big field is an obstacle.
-
David Probert 13%Michael Appleby 13%-71679No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Landed a win earlier this season but has failed to build on that in three subsequent outings, most recently finishing down the field; effective at 5-6f on the all-weather, he wears a first-time tongue-tie today, though the trainer is in a quiet spell and improvement is needed.
-
Tony Carroll 13%15-437No signal9/1 15/2 9/1Returning from a 112-day break for a strong course trainer, rated 64 by us — second in this field — with course-and-distance form; he went too freely and failed to get home last time here in a handicap, beaten six lengths, and may benefit from a drop back to seven furlongs.
- D
-
P J Rothwell 7%0-No signal100/1 80/1 100/1Well beaten on her only previous start in a bumper at Cork and absent for over three months, she now switches to hurdles wearing a hood; our lowest-rated runner, she has a great deal to prove in this discipline and is likely to need the experience.
-
Kaiya Fraser 12%Rebecca Menzies 11%1-5051No signal6/1 4/1 11/2A winner over course and distance, he landed his most recent start at Thirsk by a length off a mark 5lb below today's, though he ran freely throughout; favourably weighted on juvenile form and effective at 5/6f with cut, but the trainer's current blank run is a concern.
-
Clifford Lee 17%Michael Dods 12%0059-0No signal40/1 28/1 33/1A veteran who prefers to set the pace, he weakened rapidly at York most recently and the signs are that his form has declined markedly; effective over 5/6f on a sound surface with some give, the 44-day absence and patchy recent record make it hard to recommend him here.
-
Tony Carroll 13%365837No signal16/1 12/1 16/1Difficult to trust given his recent record, he was well beaten three days ago while racing from off the pace at Chepstow; first-time blinkers may help and the trainer has a strong record at this track, though the wide draw from stall 8 and quick return add uncertainty.
-
Jake Dickson 12%Jim Goldie 14%-52300No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Slow away and beaten 8 lengths here most recently, she had shown decent form before the latest couple of runs; effective at 5/6f on this going and a top-course trainer is an angle, but slow starts have become problematic of late and draw 17 is wide.
-
W. P. Mullins 26%521U-2WHTW Whisper 1 signal2/1Ran to form stepping up in trip when going down by a neck at Wexford last time — he moved well but hit the front too soon and was reeled in close to the line; effective from 2m4f to 3m on any ground, and his stable won here 12 months ago.
-
644673No signal14/1 10/1 12/1Rated lowest in the field on our figures, Dark Kestrel suits today's surface and has shown his best form on the all-weather; first-time tongue-tie and visor are fitted, and he finished promisingly last time despite a tardy start, going down narrowly off a mark 15lb lower than today's.
-
Jack Nicholls 12%Ed de Giles 10%—No signal14/1A Mehmas filly whose dam was useful at 7f and who is related to a smart 8f performer at two, she brings a quality page to her debut here. She faces a tough task first time out, but the pedigree warrants a degree of interest.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Ruth Carr 12%313426SSteamer Whisper 1 signal7/1 8/1 5/1All her wins have come on the all-weather and she is effective at 6f on a sound surface, making this a fitting stage for Daytona Lady; she was below her best last time, up 3lb today, but first-time cheekpieces can help her bounce back.
-
Shane Crawley 11%000-9No signal16/1 FCST 12/1Beaten some way in a handicap hurdle at Wexford on her most recent start, she has failed to make an impression in her last four outings and has yet to find conditions that suit; rated 18th on our figures. A tongue-tie is applied for the first time but much is needed at this level.
-
Cieren Fallon 18%James Owen 18%9No signal14/1 11/1 12/1Beaten 7¼ lengths into ninth on her debut at Nottingham, she requires significant improvement to feature here; the quality of her yard offers some encouragement, but on current figures she remains a work in progress ranked 5th of 8 in this field.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Michael Dods 12%2No signal5/1 4/1 9/2Runner-up on his only start at Redcar, beaten 3 lengths in a maiden, and that debut effort has since been boosted; effective at 7f and on good ground, he is a leading contender here, though the trainer's current run of form is a consideration from draw 2.
-
Daniel King 10%773-77No signal11/1 FCST 10/1Well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time, a form line that typifies his recent record — seventh in four of his last five starts; effective at 2m-2m3f and acts on any going. Some consistency to his efforts but has yet to win, with a modest strike-rate the persistent obstacle.
-
William Cox 5%765746No signal25/1 14/1 25/1Shaped poorly at Dundalk last time on turf, beaten 7 lengths, and has been out of the frame in all six of his recent starts; back on the all-weather after 96 days off, a reduced mark and a front-running style offer some hope, but he has much to prove.
-
Keith Donoghue 13%6600-9No signal16/1 FCST 14/1Dropped well down the field on his chase debut at Downpatrick most recently and may need more time over fences; the stable landed this race last year, and a first-time visor is added today, though the 3m trip looks a potential stretch given his best form has come at shorter.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Tony Carroll 13%57-975No signal9/1 9/1 17/2First-time blinkers applied for a trainer who excels at this course, and he handles today's trip and surface well enough; beaten 10l at Brighton last time having failed to see out the distance, though others hold an edge in this field.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Kevin Ryan 12%—No signal11/1 9/1 10/1Earthlight gelding making his debut from draw 7; a half-brother to Wise Men Say, a smart 6f performer, while the yard has a record of producing debutants fit to run. Probably effective over 7f and of interest, though the dam was only a moderate sprinter.
-
Stevie Donohoe 12%Ollie Sangster 14%74No signal18/1 14/1 18/1Fourth beaten 11 lengths at Chepstow on her latest outing, showing consistent form with her debut run; more is expected from this filly over the trip, though her trainer’s recent 4% strike rate introduces a note of caution.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Ralph Beckett 19%—No signal9/2 7/2 9/2A New Bay colt out of a dam who excelled at a mile and a quarter, he is also a half-brother to a useful 7f performer and could prove competitive on debut with a top course jockey aboard.
-
Stuart Williams 13%3380-7No signal14/1 17/2 12/1Effective over today's trip on a sound surface, Dutch Finale was hampered by an awkward start last time and beaten well; he has shown little in recent starts, and stall 13 is a wide draw, with the trainer also out of form.
-
Harry Vigors 12%Archie Watson 15%216531BBoD Whisper 1 signal2/1 11/4 2/1Took a handicap here last time by one and a half lengths, showing a determined attitude at the head of affairs — two wins in his most recent six starts points to a horse in fine fettle. Adds blinkers for the first time after 77 days off; effective at 5f and 6f on the all-weather, he is a serious danger.
- E
-
Connor Beasley 13%Ewan Whillans 11%39-743No signal12/1 FCST 11/1Third here last time when beaten just 2½ lengths off a higher mark, he tends to travel prominently and handles this trip and ground well; fitted with tongue-tie and blinkers for the first time now, he's yet to score in recent starts but remains a leading danger on our figures.
-
Eoin Griffin 8%—No signal28/1 FCST 25/1By Gregorian and making her debut in this bumper, she is one of several unexposed runners in the field; pedigree interest noted but no racecourse form to assess means she is an unknown quantity stepping into competitive company.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Iain Jardine 12%7-5531No signal4/1 FCST 7/2Bounced back with a handicap success at Newcastle last time, aided by a strong gallop and blinkers; he's effective over today's trip, handles this ground, and the yard is in good form, though he now races off a 6lb higher mark.
-
Jason Hart 14%Ben Haslam 14%42No signal9/4 FCST 2/1A strong runner-up at Carlisle on her second start, beaten just half a length in a maiden when stepping up in trip — she handles today's distance and going well. She has a clear chance if reproducing that level, though the trainer's current barren spell adds a degree of uncertainty.
-
Ryan Sexton 12%Noel Wilson 1%-33433No signal9/2 FCST 4/1Consistent in recent starts with a third at this course on his latest outing, he acts on a range of going and should find this trip more suitable having pulled hard last time; first-time cheekpieces have been applied and our figures put him firmly among the leading dangers.
-
Darragh Keenan 10%George Scott 20%—No signal12/1 9/1 11/1A 95,000gns Sioux Nation filly making her debut here, she is a half-sister to Sovereign Ocean and comes from a dam effective at 6f; the pedigree hints at ability but she faces a demanding introduction stepping into novice company from stall 3.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%John Ryan 9%-78544No signal9/1 7/1 17/2Beaten two and a half lengths at Carlisle last time off a slightly higher mark, Emery Down now wears cheekpieces; she acts at this trip but is better suited to softer ground and AW than today's conditions, placing her near the foot of the field.
-

522No signal6/1 9/2 6/1Runner-up twice in recent starts, his latest second came despite some interference and he ran creditably regardless; speedily bred and at home on good ground, he is a progressive type with more ahead of him and a genuine threat to the principals from draw 3.
-
84-255No signal10/1 FCST 9/1Didn't quite fire on handicap debut at Sligo, comfortably held in a handicap hurdle last time; he handles today's going and, ranked second on our figures, should do better as he settles into handicaps, though today's 3m trip is beyond his most effective range.
-
Oisin McSweeney 10%Roger Fell 12%43No signal7/1 13/2 6/1Consistent in both starts to date — including a third at Thirsk just five days ago — she handles today's distance and going and looks to have more in the locker. A tendency to pull keenly is the main concern, but she merits respect at this level.
-
Darragh O'Keeffe 13%R P Cody 13%138-50No signal9/2 4/1 9/2A winner in recent starts and proven at today's distance and going, he found trouble early at Ballinrobe last time and was unable to get competitive; effective from 2m4f to 3m on a sound surface, first-time blinkers add interest as he drops in grade here.
-
Jack Garritty 11%Ivan Furtado 10%94No signal25/1 FCST 22/1Stepped up markedly from her opening run with a respectable fourth, beaten 3 lengths in a seller at Musselburgh last time, and she handles today's going. Yet to score, though, and with the trainer struggling for form she looks up against it here.
-
654-No signal4/1Fourth at Chelmsford on his latest start, running to form after stepping up in trip, he stays this distance and acts on the all-weather; first-time cheekpieces add a small positive note. Absent for 207 days and rated 10th of 12 on our figures, he is probably near the ceiling of his ability.
-
Charles Bishop 10%Adam Kirby 12%521247No signal11/2 7/2 5/1Dropped 2lb after being outpaced and trailing well beaten last time, Tuscan Point is at his best over course and distance on the all-weather and has a win in recent starts; a return to form is feasible from stall 1.
- U
-
392361No signal11/4 FCST 5/2Returned to top form last time, winning narrowly in a handicap off a mark 3lb lower than today's; he steps up 3lb here but handles any going and is effective over this trip, showing good tenacity to get his head in front — a genuine danger at this level.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Alan Brown 9%623500No signal11/1 9/1 10/1Failed to get into contention at York most recently, trailing throughout from off the pace in a handicap; a first-time visor represents a change of approach and the trip is well within his range, though he needs a significant pickup in form to make his presence felt here.
-
TBA700-0No signal33/1Beaten down the field on his handicap debut at Clonmel last time, failing to get into contention at any stage; that form across his last four outings demands improvement. A tongue-tie is applied for the first time and significant progress is required, ranked 12th on our figures.

-
6P-083No signal10/1Third at Downpatrick 22 days ago in a handicap hurdle, though she tired in the closing stages having raced prominently; effective at 2m-2m2f over hurdles and acts with cut. There is scope to build on that effort if she settles better, though the trainer has had no success in recent weeks.
-
Oisin Murphy 22%Saeed bin Suroor 20%240No signal6/4 5/2 3/2Beaten eight lengths in a Listed event at Ascot last time — the fast ground and elevated grade likely telling against him — though today's step down in class is a clear positive. Effective over 6f on a sound surface and rated second on our figures, he is worthy of strong consideration as the grade falls.
-
Barry McHugh 9%Adrian Keatley 15%696-11No signalevn FCST EvsTopping our figures, Vietnorm has won his last two starts and looks the one to beat here; the step up to 12f on good ground is expected to suit and he handles today's conditions well, though earlier form shows some inconsistency.
-
David Allan 13%Tim Easterby 11%810067No signal22/1 16/1 18/1First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are fitted as connections seek a turnaround after a poor display last time, now racing off a lower mark; he can front-run effectively and handles today's trip and going, while the jockey-trainer combination at this track has a fine record — improvement in focus could pay dividends.
-
Cam Hardie 6%Ben Haslam 14%097443No signal11/1 9/1 11/1Third in his most recent outing at Redcar, going down by 4 lengths in a handicap and keeping to his form level; he handles today's trip and going on a variety of surfaces, but our figures place him as the outsider of the field and he needs the principals to underperform.

Brian Barry 2%Riceal Dunne 0%670-48No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Sound over this distance and on today's going until a below-par effort at Wexford last time when she raced prominently and was comfortably held; the first-time hood is applied as connections seek improvement. Yet to win in recent starts but ranked sixth on our figures.
-
E Walsh 7%John M Burke 3%69-920No signal22/1 FCST 20/1Briefly showed promise before fading in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time, a performance suggesting the trip stretched him; effective around 2m and the first-time cheekpieces may help him sharpen up. A much-needed improvement is required to trouble the principals, ranked ninth on our figures.
-
Brian Ellison 10%325-9No signal10/1 8/1 17/2Form figures of runner-up and third in recent starts suggest ability at this trip and on today's conditions, and she shapes as the type to benefit from stepping into handicap company. A well-beaten effort at Redcar last time and the yard's barren recent spell are the main concerns.
-
Tim Easterby 11%05No signal50/1 40/1 50/1Beaten 9 lengths at Carlisle on her latest start without improving on her debut showing, she needs to find considerably more to get into contention here. At this trip and going she has experience, and a top course trainer connection is a positive, but more is needed.
-
David Probert 13%Jack Channon 14%024No signal11/4 9/4 11/4Fourth beaten six lengths at Ffos Las most recently, performing to his level in a maiden there, this colt handles today's trip and surface well and should improve when getting into handicaps; our second-rated runner and a genuine threat at these weights.
-
525-83No signal9/1 FCST 17/2Stepped back up to three miles, where he is effective and has been broadly consistent, though seldom getting his head in front; nine lengths adrift in a conditions event at the Curragh last time, he turns out for a trainer in good form and is one of the main dangers.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Ferguson 14%599No signal9/2 4/1 9/2Bred to appreciate the mile and competing off a lowly mark that gives her room, she has yet to show her best in her last three starts; there is still plenty to prove, but conditions here broadly suit her.
-
Harry Cobden 22%E Bolger 13%462-67No signal4/1 FCST 7/2Looked to travel well in his latest handicap hurdle at Clonmel but couldn't deliver when it mattered, finishing well beaten; first-time cheekpieces may help him fulfil that potential, and he may yet find his level in handicaps, though he may prefer more cut in the ground.
-
R. Mike Smith 10%23-460No signal125/1 80/1 100/1Whiskey Kisses ran poorly in her most recent start here, possibly because the ground was too soft, and has something to prove after her last two efforts; effective on a sound surface but yet to win in recent starts.
-
Keith Donoghue 13%Gavin Cromwell 11%86-133No signal5/1 FCST 9/2Third on her most recent outing in a beginners' chase at Listowel, stepping back over hurdles now which suits her well; effective at 2m-2m4f and has experience of today's conditions. She landed a win in recent starts in this sphere and remains a respected contender at this level.
-
Sean Dylan Bowen 11%John Ryan 9%272-33No signal10/3 10/3 3/1Beaten a length at Yarmouth last time off today's identical mark despite softer conditions than ideal, he handles a variety of ground well; the trip suits and the mark is competitive, with our rating placing him fourth in the field, though draw 12 is a wider berth.
-
8-FNo signal33/1Was making progress into fourth when coming down two out at Clonmel last time — there is more to come if that fall is put behind him, though this looks a stiff test and the trainer is out of form.
-
William Carson 10%Chris Dwyer 14%87-760No signal10/1Her trainer is in good form and she seems suited to the mile with first-time cheekpieces applied; she was hard to settle at Yarmouth last time and found the trip beyond her, and drawing from stall 10 is an added test.
-
Jack Callan 14%/06/20No signal10/1 12/1 9/1Tongue-tie tried for the first time as he returns from an 87-day break, rated 62 by us and ranked fourth in this field, effective over a range of trips on any surface; he was badly below form at Dundalk last time and must show the rest has done him good — trainer form is modest.
-
Brian Hayes 10%0/80P-No signal28/1 FCST 22/1Absent for over seven months since being pulled up in a handicap chase at Tramore, and has yet to show he has taken to fences; effective over today's 3m trip and going, but the lengthy layoff and our ranking of 17th of 16 make him very difficult to recommend.
-
Finley Marsh 14%Richard Hughes 15%5-1483No signal11/4 FCST 5/2Shaped well on his most recent start, beaten three quarters of a length off a 2lb higher mark on the AW at Dundalk; effective over a range of trips and well suited by this surface, he arrives fresh after over three months off wearing a first-time hood.
-
George Wood 11%45-969No signal25/1 18/1 20/1Well beaten here last time and without a win since 2022, Wodao's form has been inconsistent and he is hard to fancy; first-time tongue-tie is fitted, and he is effective over 6f on the all-weather, which is at least a surface point in his favour.
-
Alex Harvey 10%/080-9No signal40/1 FCST 33/1Down the field in a maiden hurdle at Tramore most recently, finishing well adrift; his form suggests he may be better suited to lower-grade company than this, and our rating of 87 places him outside the main field — hard to fancy on current evidence.
-
W. P. Mullins 26%2-4No signal9/4 2/1 9/4Fourth in a bumper last time and our top-rated entry in this field, he steps up to hurdles at around 2m3f on going he has handled before; making his obstacles bow, he looks progressive and is the one to beat.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%George Boughey 18%8-2241No signal4/5 10/11 4/5Landed a handicap by a nose at Ffos Las just seven days ago in first-time cheekpieces and tongue-tie, and he is our top-rated runner here; the extra distance is a step into the unknown at 2m but he has applied himself well in recent form and is capable of more.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Michael Dods 12%50-472No signal15/2 FCST 7/1Wearing first-time cheekpieces, he was runner-up at York last time beaten a length when the pace collapsed late, off a mark 1lb below today's; effective at 6f on this going but may again depend on a late fade in the field, and draw 16 is wide.
-
Ben Harvey 7%E D Delany 8%765P-PNo signal33/1 FCST 28/1Recent form has fallen away sharply, with two consecutive exits in handicap hurdles — most recently at Punchestown — and she returns after a break of nearly eight weeks; effective over 2m-2m4f on a sound surface, she faces a stiff test at 3m today and is ranked bottom on our figures.

Billy Loughnane 18%Robert Cowell 13%855-45No signal12/1 10/1 12/1Held comfortably in a handicap at Salisbury last time, adding to a consistent run of placed-but-beaten finishes without suggesting a win is imminent. He adds first-time cheekpieces after a two-month absence; suited to 5f on a sound surface, but ranked eighth on our figures and hard to make a case for in this company.
No horse matches that.
