Jamie Spencer 12%Archie Watson 15%—No signal11/2 4/1 11/246,000euros yearling; tenth foal; closely related to 9.4f-2m winner Antiquarium (RPR 112), half-brother to three winners including Grand Scheme (1m-1m6f; 92); dam 1m4f AW winner (76), half-sister to smart 1m2f-1m6f winner Scott's View; will probably need longer trips to be seen to best effect but first-time-out 2yos from this stable are usually of interest.
-
George Downing 10%Ed Walker 16%744-No signal13/2 7/1 13/2Posted most encouraging of three qualifying runs when keeping-on fourth at Kempton (7f, AW) in October; has fitness to prove after seven-month absence but should have more improvement to come in handicaps at some stage this season.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Edward Bethell 17%4-2No signalSPSR 64 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field. -
U-0No signal100/1Some sign of ability on the Flat at up to 1m4f; 80-1 when tailed off in a maiden at Clonmel where his jumping lacked any fluency.
-
J P Flavin 5%24472-No signal9/2 4/1 9/2Won his beginners' chase here and ran right up to his best when beaten a neck over a tad shorter here last month; every chance off 3lb higher if in the same form.
-
David Egan 14%0-673No signal8/1 11/2 8/1Evidently suited by big hike up in trip (from 7f) when third of 11 on last month's handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW); that run came after a break and she could easily have more to offer if handling switch to turf.
-
David Nolan 12%295-60No signal25/1 18/1 25/1Second in a maiden here last September; best form in valuable sales races (also 7f) on next two outings but nowhere near repeating it in his two starts this term; hampered early in a York handicap last time (7f; 22-1) and this is a major rethink on his trip, but none too persuasive.
-
TBATim Easterby 11%547No signalSPSR 37 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at . -
Tim Easterby 11%547No signal11/2 4/1 9/2The best of his three qualifying efforts (all last month) came on debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft); initial mark looks a bit stiff based on what he's produced but no surprise if he improves now entering handicaps.
-
Peter Smithers 10%00-FNo signal33/1No impact in bumpers at Fairyhouse and Punchestown; beaten when falling on hurdles debut at Clonmel (33-1); others preferred.
-
John Aherne 2%P/0-7No signal18/1 FCST 16/1First sign of ability on debut for this yard when keeping on for a never nearer 14l seventh of 17 at Clonmel (19.5f, gd-yld); this longer trip should suit.
-
W J Martin 6%0/216-No signal18/1 FCST 16/1Managed to win only one of her eight bumpers and has been off since October; one to watch.
-
Tom Marquand 16%William Haggas 23%321-32No signal5/6 Evs 5/6Classy pedigree; ready winner when upped to 7f (AW) on final 2yo start; pleasing comeback at Newmarket (6f) in April, when a keeping-on third of 13, just ahead of a subsequent Listed winner; unfortunate to run up against a big improver at Ascot (7f, good) since but aims lower here; solid.
-
Jamie Spencer 12%Hamad Al Jehani 20%—No signal8/13 2/3 4/780,000gns yearling, 240,000gns breeze-up 2yo who's bred to be sharp, being out of a 2yo 5f winner and a half-sister to two 2yo winners, one on debut; trainer 7-23 with juveniles on turf (this is his first 2yo runner of the season) and she's an interesting newcomer.
-
TBA—No signalSPSR 104 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field. -
Brendan Powell 11%Joe Tizzard 13%11442-No signalSPSR 102 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
Liam Harrison 11%Fergal O'Brien 15%P001-2No signal7/1 4/1 7/10-8 in points and showed little in first two starts for this yard in March; landed a gamble when dropped into a seller at Exeter (2m2f, good) last month in first-time visor (retained since); not disgraced when second of three at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to firm) on his handicap debut 11 days ago and should run well.
-
Ryan Kavanagh 11%Adam Kirby 12%451-12No signalSPSR 66 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field. -
Alec Voikhansky 11%Richard Hannon 12%-08166No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Narrow winner of a competitive 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday; two midfield finishes this month and he will need a career best to come out on top in this field.
-
Ryan Kavanagh 11%Ian Williams 11%01-706No signalSP 14/1 16/1Ex-French; low-key stable debut at Haydock in April but he fared much better when sixth, beaten under 3l, behind stablemate Supido here (7.6f, good) 24 days ago; he hasn't fared so kindly with the draw this time.
-
Peter Winks 9%-86857No signal80/1 50/1 80/1Comes here under a cloud, last of seven in 1m4f handicap at Pontefract eight days ago; hard to warm to.
-
Daniel Tudhope 18%Edward Bethell 17%211-8No signal15/2Raced clear in 7f and 6f events on the AW last autumn but she was slightly hampered and done with from a fair way out on her handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good); should come on for the run, though, and no surprise if she shows to better advantage in a less competitive race.
-
Tom Kelly 4%E McNamara 10%0No signal200/1 66/1 125/1Progressive 3yo for William Haggas in 2024, winning twice over 1m2f on good to firm; hasn't reached those heights since and was tailed off at Killarney on hurdles/stable debut; hood worn that day now left off.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Michael Dods 12%1No signal3/1 7/2 3/1Pulled 2.5l clear of a next-time-out winner when overcoming inexperience to make a very promising winning debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; looks a surefire improver.
-
William Buick 25%137-7No signal25/1 11/1 25/1Won debut (7f, AW) and came third in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good) last September; however, he was last of seven in another Group 3 there (1m, good to firm) on final 2yo outing and beaten 10l in a conditions stakes at Kempton (1m, AW) on March reappearance; the latter was a hot race but today's first-time headgear for handicap debut needs to prompt a vastly better show.
-
TBAOliver Cole 11%362-2No signalSPSR 73 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field. -
James Owen 18%55No signal6/1 5/1 6/1Displayed clear promise on both starts, more recently when keeping-on fifth at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) nine days ago, but needs improvement for this longer trip.
-
Mr M O'Flynn 0%Jonathan Sweeney 22%—No signal10/3Half-sister to winners Looksnowtlikebrian (useful 2m3f-3m2f hurdle/chase), Rivabodiva (2m7f/3m hurdle) and Divaboriva (bumper); dam 2m3f-3m hurdle/chase winner; immediate fitting of a hood is concerning but her yard has won the last two renewals of this bumper.
-
K. R. Burke 20%222No signalSPSR 71 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field. -
Daniel King 10%04555-No signal25/10-19 under rules; fairly modest form last season; others preferred.
-
Kieran Shoemark 14%Ed Walker 16%2411-9No signal20/1 16/1 20/1Won Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, heavy) last September on seventh start, when going beyond 6f for first time, and he followed up in last-gasp fashion in valuable EBF Final at York (7f, good); denied a clear run when mid-division in handicap at Newbury (7f, good; 12-1) on reappearance and the step up to nearly 1m looks a very good move; one to note.
-
James Davies 8%David Weston 4%9/7P-4No signal200/1 125/1 200/1Has shown just modest form in a couple of bumpers and two hurdle starts; easy to dismiss.
-
-97400No signal250/1 FCST 200/114-race maiden who has a very stiff task in this novice event.
-
P070-8No signal16/10-17 and yet to trouble the judge; beaten 26l in first-time blinkers at Wexford on latest; blinkers now added; hard to fancy.
-
TBAAndrew Balding 18%—No signalSPSR 54 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at . -
Lauren Young 11%Jim Goldie 14%491-02No signal11/2 7/2 11/2All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far.
-
Kieran Shoemark 14%Owen Burrows 22%1411-5No signal7/1 FCST 6/1Progressed well last season, her four wins from just five outings culminating in a clearcut Listed success at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, heavy; also handles good to firm); shaped as if needing the run when fifth in Group 3 there on reappearance; gives the impression she'll relish this extra yardage, and with further improvement on the cards she's high on the list.
-
Callum Rodriguez 20%Edward Bethell 17%881-61No signal18/1 9/1 16/16yo mare who sprang a 22-1 surprise in Listed race at Bath (5f, good) in April, swooping fast and late; likeable type with an impressive strike-rate but she'll need another personal best under a penalty.

Charlie Johnston 13%27/024No signalSPSR 67 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field. -
TBANigel Tinkler 11%5-3085No signalSPSR 45 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
-
Liam Quinlan 8%Stephen Ryan 3%446/No signal125/1 66/1 80/1Some promise in his 2024 maiden runs but can only be watched returning from a 645-day absence.
-
Paul Mulrennan 14%Ed Dunlop 12%486-67No signalSPSR 41 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
-
127/6-No signal15/2 FCST 7/1Won a 2m4f beginners' chase here in 2024; lightly raced since and was tailed off here last month following a long stretch on the sidelines; hard to enthuse over after that and cheekpieces are now fitted.
-
Rian Corcoran(5) 15%David Dennis 13%11415-No signal17/2 6/1 17/2Landed his fourth win over fences, at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month but below his best at Fontwell since; is the type to bounce back and he should get the trip (has won over 3m2f).
-
Liam Harrison 11%Emma Lavelle 18%62P5-3No signalSPHas struggled in his last two starts and has stamina to prove at this new trip -
P07F-0No signal40/1Failed to make an impact in four maiden hurdles; no sign of improvement on handicap debut at Sligo (held by Blue Moon Boy on that effort).
-
Sean Flanagan 10%Colin Bowe 8%/3P8-5No signal28/1 18/1 28/1Well out of the weights last time so that's forgiven but was tailed off the run before; there's no substance to her chance.
-
Rian Corcoran(5) 15%David Pipe 16%44P/0-No signalSPSR 65 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at . -
Andrew Mullen 10%Rebecca Menzies 11%-93862No signal9/4 7/4 2/10-7; better efforts have both been over 6f (good and good to soft), including at Ripon latest, when she raced prominently and stuck on well when the winner had asserted; up 2lb and looks a player.
-
Mr D Doyle 6%/U5-77No signal66/1 50/1 66/1Struggled in three runs over fences before another heavy defeat back over hurdles; she was smart in 2024 but now has much to prove.
-
Cian Quirke 9%A. Slattery 11%P-No signal33/1 20/1 22/128-1 and pulled up in a Fairyhouse bumper in December; can only be watched after that.
-
TBARalph Beckett 19%88050-No signalSPSR 60 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at . -
U4446-No signal40/1Veteran; 0-32 in point-to-points; 0-5 over hurdles and rated 92 but those five runs came back in 2021; not easy to fancy.
-
Billy Loughnane 18%Alan King 16%21/2-1No signal4/5 Evs 8/11Three months off before returning to Flat with a win at Ascot (2m, good; 12 ran) three weeks ago, always prominent as 11-8 favourite; up 4lb and lacks any experience of this track but a huge player if he takes to it.
-
Kevin Stott 15%Michael Appleby 13%-17963No signal7/1 3/1 7/1Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell and comes here on the back of a good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap; this three-time C&D scorer must enter calculations.
-
3238-No signal28/1 18/1 25/1Placed in all three 2025 bumper runs for John McConnell; could only manage eighth at Kilbeggan on stable debut; needs to return to his best now, making his hurdles bow.
-
436No signal17/2 7/1 8/1Minor honours over 1m at Newmarket (good) and Windsor (good to firm) on first two starts, before a lesser show under 7lb claimer on latest outing; one to note stepped up to 1m2f for this handicap debut.
-
P. J. McDonald 14%Charlie Johnston 13%160355No signal28/1 10/1 28/1Scored at Newcastle (7f) in February and in good form since until a below-par fifth in 7f Musselburgh handicap nine days ago; he's the sort to bounce back but drawn wide here.
-
Jason Watson 13%Andrew Balding 18%81-7No signal6/1 FCST 11/2Absent 289 days after winning Chester maiden (7f, good) last summer and made no more than a respectable seasonal/handicap debut when midfield at Windsor (1m, good to firm) this month; needs that recent outing to have brought him on.
-
S G Carey 14%714U-4No signal9/1 17/2 9/15lb lower when winning a handicap hurdle in March; enjoys good ground and ran well for a long way on recent chase debut at Kilbeggan (2m3f, yielding); this trip likely suits him better and has possibilities in the new headgear.
-
Charles Bishop 10%700-55No signalSP
-
Oisin Orr 14%1No signal11/2 6/1 5/1£140,000 breeze-up purchase who was sent off favourite and made no mistake on 6f Newcastle debut 11 days ago; open to progress for a yard no stranger to success in this.
-
/233-3No signal8/1 13/2 15/2Struggled after winning a bumper on debut; staged a revival last summer when placed in three maiden hurdles; well backed and ran creditably in a Cork rated novice hurdle last time when third (2m2f, good); getting the hang of things and should be thereabouts.
-
Sam James 14%Craig Lidster 12%7351-8No signal16/1 11/1 16/1Signed off for 2025 with 1m win at Southwell; looked rusty after five months off when eighth of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap last month; took this prize in 2024 so not dismissed with usual cheekpieces refitted.
-
210-40No signal9/1 11/2 9/1Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark.
-
Aidan Kelly 9%Michael Winters 13%F122-5No signal33/1Point-to-point winner; modest effort on Rules' debut in a novice hunter chase at Wexford (RPR 99); probably up against it on hurdles debut.
-
Ivan Furtado 10%2No signal14/1 15/2 14/110-1, short-headed in 11-runner novice at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 19 days ago, leading until final strides; while that was a promising debut and he seemingly has the pace for another bold show from low draw here, others probably bring better form.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Clive Cox 17%12-24No signal15/2 12/1 7/1Reappeared with close second on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) last month, followed by a respectable fourth of 11 at Ascot (1m, good; favourite); has had only four races but probably needs to resume improvement.
-
897-2No signal13/22-7 on the Flat; left maiden hurdle form behind when a keeping on 2.25l second of 15 on handicap debut at Sligo (2m2f, good); raised 3lb; debatable whether this sharper test will suit but he's a player.
-
Alec Voikhansky 11%Richard Hannon 12%4-43No signal12/1 8/1 11/1Minor honours in maiden/novice events at Leicester (7f), Newmarket (1m2f) and Salisbury (1m3f); led over 2f out last time but looked green in front and carried her head a bit high; early days, going handicapping first time.
-
Lewis Edmunds 12%Michael Appleby 13%—No signal28/1 17/2 28/1140,000gns half-brother to some quite useful winners, including as 2yos; will need to be good to make a winning debut at this level but the stable has had some very smart 2yos for these owners in recent years.
-
Syd Hosie 5%55-4No signal6/1 FCST 5/1Modest Flat maiden and only minor promise in her three races over hurdles; she still has time on her side, though, and she swaps a hood for cheekpieces on her handicap debut.
-
Mason Paetel 11%Ismail Mohammed 12%—No signal40/1 25/1 40/1April-foaled 32,000gns yearling, £50,000 breeze-up 2yo who's a half-sister to two 1m AW winners; trainer, who's had a big-priced 2yo win on debut this spring, has a better record with juveniles on the AW and she may want more of a test in due course.
-
Jack Nicholls 12%Ruth Jefferson 12%112-92No signal14/1 12/1 14/1Won three times for Karl Burke as a 2yo and ran a cracker when second at Haydock (1m, good) three weeks ago; hard to knock but he has had more goes than most of these and he was nudged up 2lb after Haydock.
-
Paddy Hanlon 5%2352F-No signalSPSR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at . -
Mr D McGill 10%A D Leahy 0%—No signal16/1First foal; dam unplaced over hurdles/in points, half-sister to winners Crebilly (useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase) and Lady Of The Sea (2m4f/3m hurdle); likely one for further down the line.
-
P622-3No signal5/2A dual winning pointer, he was runner-up twice over hurdles this year but disappointed when beaten 20l over fences at Bangor (2m4f, good) last Saturday; drops back in trip and may be worth another chance.
-
Ray Dawson 14%Roger Varian 20%82550-No signal17/2 14/1 7/1Course winner; only eighth in the corresponding race 12 months ago; 4lb lower today but he is drawn wide and this may not be his day.
-
Hector Crouch 18%Clive Cox 17%—No signalSPSR 54 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at . -
Charles Bishop 10%—No signalSPSR 129 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
Robert Dunne 8%Rob Summers 7%1187P-No signal7/1 7/1 13/2Won here over 2m1f (good) and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) last summer; subsequently lost his form in three runs; hard to gauge how he will run after a layoff but he would come into this if back on song.
-
Aidan Kelly 9%3006/4No signal16/1 18/1 16/1Creditable return from over a year off at Cork (2m3f, good) when a 9l fourth of 15, hampered and made a mistake late on; in the mix if backing it up.
-
Danny Power 2%Sean Aherne 5%3638-0No signal28/1 22/1 28/1Only 1-21 over hurdles, the win coming on good ground at Wexford last summer (similar mark); did finish well held on chase debut in November and also in his subsequent run back hurdling.
-
Mr M N Sharpe 11%A L T Moore 8%6-5No signal40/1Beaten 17l on debut on testing ground at Leopardstown; no improvement for better ground at Down Royal on latest; may have needed that but others appeal more.
-
Ryan Sexton 12%Edward Bethell 17%87-542No signal9/4 2/1 7/4Progressive form since switched to handicaps this season, though he hung and idled in front before being caught post when a short-head second of eight to Vietnorm at Ripon (1m2f) 22 days ago; 1lb better off here so big shout.
-
TBACian Collins 9%8-09No signalSP FCST 16/1Third reserve; three maiden runs don't give much encouragement, but could improve now handicapping.
-
J J Slevin 13%4508P-No signalSPEight-time winner (two over hurdles) but not since May 2024; missed the entirety of 2025; hasn't convinced in runs this year, both over fences and hurdles; holds 27lb lower rating compared to chasing but others preferred. -
Tim Easterby 11%19-701No signal10/1 11/1 9/1Course winner (7.6f, soft) for Andrew Balding last summer; not beaten far in the 7.6f handicap won by Supido 24 days ago (poor draw) and confirmed that promise with a Class 3 win at Thirsk a fortnight ago (7f, good); a 3lb rise shouldn't prove beyond him and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus.
-
Tom Marquand 16%Charlie Pike 7%0-0056No signal17/2 9/1 8/1Back-to-back 6f wins at Windsor (good to firm) and Ascot (good to soft) in 2025; has taken a while to get going this season but he shaped as if coming to the boil when sixth of 14 at Newbury (led briefly over 1f out) two weeks ago; back to his last winning mark and should be at concert pitch now.
-
Michael Appleby 13%6No signal16/1 10/1 16/1Gelded and had a wind op before his debut in March when 17l sixth of 11 in a Southwell maiden (28-1; slowly away); that form working out quite well and better expected.
-
Sam James 14%Joey Ramsden 7%345747No signal12/1 10/1 12/10-20; tried in different headgear when a below-par seventh in 7f Doncaster handicap last time out; usual cheekpieces are refitted.
-
Jack Callan 14%George Boughey 18%569No signalSPSR 33 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at . -
5/56-PNo signal33/1 FCST 28/1Has shown little in four hurdle starts, including on handicap debut when pulled up at Warwick (2m5f, good) 26 days ago; sports first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, and they need to have an impact.
-
52326-No signal11/4 9/2 5/2Placed in two of three starts in bumpers; good second in a Limerick maiden hurdle in December (2m3f, sft-hvy); off since tailed off in Limerick bumper in February; a repeat of his last run over hurdles would give him a squeak here.
-
Brian Hayes 10%9778-No signal13/2 FCST 6/1From a good family but has yet to show winning potential in three runs over hurdles and rated 93; new hood needs to transform.
- C
-
Mr J M Halford 12%Gordon Elliott 18%P23-6No signal18/1Runner-up in a point; beaten 9l and 15l in her two bumpers, latterly finishing behind Gortnaclea Castle; has to step up.
-
Connor Beasley 13%Edward Bethell 17%26/5-4No signalSPSR 67 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field. -
Paul Mulrennan 14%John Dawson 12%7/672-No signal11/1 7/1 11/1Off for 11 months since a good second in 1m2f handicap here on his final run for Alan Brown; has fitness to prove for his new handler.
-
NA42-090No signalSP
-
Calum Hogan 7%E McNamara 10%9No signal100/1 FCST 66/1Won a Flat handicap in 2024; tailed off on stable/hurdles debut at Killarney; likeley to be of more interest in handicaps.
-
P. J. McDonald 14%Charlie Johnston 13%51No signal14/1 10/1 14/1Left her C&D debut fifth behind when winning at Ripon (6f, good) 13 days ago and the fifth gave the form a boost when going close at Redcar earlier in the week; likely to improve again.
-
Rossa Ryan 18%Jennie Candlish 17%752213No signal11/4 3/1 11/4A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed.
-
David O'Meara 13%08-020No signal18/1 FCST 14/1Three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025; good C&D runner-up in April but beat only one in 1m Thirsk handicap two weeks ago; needs to bounce back.
-
Daniel Muscutt 14%James Fanshawe 18%1-6343No signal5/2 32/17 9/4Has been running creditably on the AW this year (in the frame on last three starts, all over 2m at Southwell); could go well, but below best three previous runs on turf.
-
Michael Winters 13%8No signal100/1 66/1 100/150-1 but offered something to build on when making modest late gains into midfield at Kilbeggan; this longer trip a plus but was beaten 30l last time so much more needed.
-
Pat Cosgrave 11%Jim Boyle 9%4624-3No signalSP1m2f winner here in July; this trip raises a question on return; market might help -
Barry McHugh 9%969-89No signal66/1 FCST 50/1Twice showed fair form at 1m in his four Irish races last term for Ger Lyons; well beaten on handicap debut there, however, and it was the same story this month on both British starts.
-
Cam Hardie 6%747-66No signal8/1 17/2 8/1Respectable sixth over 1m2f both starts this year, the latter in a warm race at York when shaping as if worth another try over 1m3f+; gets that here and has each-way hopes.
-
TBATom George 18%1550F-No signalSPSR 78 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
-
Barry McHugh 9%Adrian Keatley 15%33No signal14/1 11/2 14/1Close third in maidens at Musselburgh (5f, good) and Chester (5.5f, good) are both among the best form in this field; a leading contender.
-
Jonny Peate 9%James Ferguson 14%43-234No signalSPGood 2nd on AW return last month; poorly positioned when 3rd over 1m2f latest; solid -

Marco Ghiani 16%Marco Botti 16%—No signal17/2 8/1 17/2First foal; dam 9.4f AW winner (RPR 71), half-sister to 7f winner Zabeir, out of unraced half-sister to Listed winners Zanughan (1m4f) and Zand (10.5f); worth a glance in the betting.

Paul Mulrennan 14%Hugo Palmer 13%13No signal18/1 8/1 18/1On the back of a Bath debut success (5f, good; made all) he was sent off favourite for the Lily Agnes at Chester (5f, good again) but could only manage third after showing speed again; has a visor added now; his outside draw could make life awkward.
-
Tom Eaves 8%Kevin Ryan 12%100-08No signal11/2 FCST 5/1Close third in Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock 12 months ago and made most to win Listed race at York (5f, good to firm) last summer; well below par all four starts since (short of room in Newmarket Group 3 on latest) but down in grade here and may well bounce back.
-
Calum Hogan 7%71U2-3No signal17/2 15/2 8/1Point/maiden hurdle/beginners' chase winner; more fluent jumping in the final stages at Limerick (2m6f, soft) would have seen him go closer than the 2.25l losing margin; tapped for toe at Cork (2m3f, good) last time back in trip when third; return to this distance is a positive; in the mix.
-
Andrew Mullen 10%Ben Haslam 14%651-03No signalSP 3/1 11/4Four-time winner on good or slower (placed here over 5f); inconsistent but put a lacklustre effort behind him when third at Carlisle (5f, good) latest; capable of being competitive.

Sam Ewing 12%Gordon Elliott 18%—No signal11/115,000euros foal; dam unraced sister to winners Outlander (high-class bumper and 2m-3m hurdle/chase), Now McGinty (smart 2m5f hurdle/2m7f chase) and Western Leader (smart bumper and 2m4f-2m5f hurdle/chase); needs checking in the betting.

Josh Williamson 11%M F Morris 9%0053-UNo signal9/1 7/1 17/2His three hurdle wins came at Fairyhouse on good ground at 2m4f-3m but nothing since late 2024; some cracking runs in defeat though, including when third off this mark at Cork (3m, yielding); challenging for the lead when unseated at the third last at Wexford last time; down to an attractive mark.
-
TBAE Bolger 13%8462-6No signalSP FCST 7/2Second reserve; well-backed for handicap debut at Punchestown (2m, soft to heavy) when a costly mistake at two out saw him beaten by a head after rallying; couldn't justify favouritism upped in trip back at Punchestown (3m, good to yielding) last time.
-
P. J. McDonald 14%Andrew Balding 18%8-2No signal9/4 7/2 9/4Green on his debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in December; still didn't look the finished article on his recent Salisbury return (1m2f, good) but showed plenty of promise in staying on for 6l second behind a very useful type; the type to keep on improving as his stamina is drawn out (half-brother to useful 1m6f winner).
-
Sean Levey 13%Richard Hannon 12%322-42No signal13/2 11/2 13/2Found only Realign too strong at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn despite meeting trouble at a crucial stage, and he was back on the up when a neck second of 16 at Ripon (6f, good to soft) six weeks ago; reliable and has notably solid credentials.
-
Saffie Osborne 14%Richard Spencer 15%6-1111No signal9/2 11/4 4/1Unbeaten in four races since tackling handicaps, his mark rising from 56 to 84; again had plenty in hand when beating 11 rivals at Windsor (1m, good to firm); impossible to rule out another step forward.

William Pyle 9%Linda Perratt 10%72-579No signal33/1 20/1 28/1Best run when second of four in a Musselburgh novice (5f, soft) on final start for Iain Jardine last October; yet to hit top form for new yard (6f/5f), but has been dropped 10lb.
-
Dylan Whelan 1%55/0P-No signal5/1 9/1 4/1Bumper winner on good to yielding; 0-5 over hurdles and rated 113; leading claims on the form of his maiden hurdle runs at Naas and Navan last year but bitterly disappointing in both starts in handicaps in 2026; huge chance if he can rediscover best but comes with risks attached.

-
320No signal6/1 7/2 11/2Placed behind a couple of smart sorts on first two runs (5f, good to firm/good), although the overall form didn't amount to a great deal; makes handicap debut after poor run last time (6f, good); worth a market check.

Ethan Tindall 10%232179No signal25/1 18/1 22/1Two narrow AW wins at 6f and 7f over the winter months; never involved back on turf at Thirsk (7f, good) recently and although this is less competitive her stamina for a tough 7f like this still has to be proved.
-
Jason Hart 14%George Boughey 18%221-14No signal8/1 FCST 15/2Off the mark at the fifth attempt as a 2yo, winning a 6f fillies' novice decisively; stronger form when coming from off the pace to win a Class 4 handicap at Southwell last month but she was beaten fair and square at Yarmouth two weeks later (7f, good to firm); return to 6f can help but Champonie may prove the yard's main hope.
-
Danny Gilligan 12%505-11No signal6/4 FCST 3/2Hit with a 10lb rise for winning comfortably at Limerick (2m6f, good), which was a belated first win over fences; encouraging that he followed up over hurdles here last night, admittedly off a lower mark than today's; he's in the zone.
