- SUPER DINO (1) hasn't particularly shone in either outing across the Channel but trainer Amy Murphy's success with two-year-olds, especially on French soil, is such that his chances in this opening event must be taken seriously. AMORE MIA (4) didn't go unnoticed in a competitive field at Salon-de-Provence and she is likely to play a leading role here with a repeat of that performance. GALLIUS (3) and TWILLY LIGHT (6) are improving and should make their presence felt if building on the progress of their recent displays.
- SALVA MEA (8) revealed considerable means as a two-year-old last season and confirmed that promise with an encouraging 2nd on her reappearance, so she is good value to open her account in this maiden event. SOUPLESSE (12) was stretched by the Saint-Cloud mile last time but will appreciate this shorter distance and ought to pose more of a threat. PEMBA BAY (7) should also fare better on a firmer track and can get into the picture, while KEW BRIDGE (1) is another to consider in her first outing on the grass.
- There are three standout candidates for success in this claimer. ALCOTAN (4) was somewhat disappointing at Deauville recently but is capable of considerably better than that performance suggests and deserves another chance, especially in a race of this nature. JACK OF TRADES (1) has made encouraging improvement in consecutive outings at this level and will, on the evidence of both runs, fight for victory once more. ALAMSAR (5) has experienced varying fortunes since winning a PSF handicap at Deauville during winter but retains the means to play a leading role in this grade. INATTENDU (7) completes the shortlist in his first appearance at this level.
- Speedy FORTUNATE SON (3) has, on several occasions, shown he possesses the means to win a handicap of this caliber and today could be his day. He will, however, have to thwart the expected challenges of ALNOORY STAR (2), who has proven her competitiveness in the handicaps recently, and RUE MIA (7) whose form and experience at this level should stand her in good stead once more. Having finished 2nd on this course at the start of April, LOYAL PRINCE (1) could also play a leading role, especially from a favourable inside stall.
- Recent Le Croisa-Laroche scorer SWEET AS (4) seems good value to defy the penalty by winning again. TWO TWO TWO (8) gave the selection plenty of cheek that day and ought to make a fight of it once more. LOUVE DREAM (5) finished 5th in the same race but was unlucky not to have posed more of a threat and could do so on this occasion. Veteran GLICOURT (2) retains the means to make his presence felt too.
- MACCARELLU (5) has shown enough promise/ability by finishing 3rd in both outings to suggest he is more than capable of opening his account in this maiden event. ODEMAR (6) only marginally edged the 25 March meeting with that rival but will have his work cut out confirming that form. EARLY SPIRIT (8) was ridden too aggressively in that race and should also have a role to play if ridden with more restraint. VERDANT LADY (17) appeals most of the three newcomers and can't be underestimated.
- COLD PLAY (4) caught the eye with a good finishing effort at Chantilly recently and, from the ideal No 1 stall with Cristian Demuro in the irons, should fight for victory. MAGIC SWORD (6) is out of sorts but has the means to play a leading role in a race of this nature, especially off a reduced mark and with Maxime Guyon engaged. Both BIJJLEE (7) and JASMIN DORE (12) finished 2nd in their recent outings and aren't incapable of posing a threat either.
- Well-traveled FOLLOW YOU (1) lines up here in good form and physical condition, having finished 2nd in consecutive outings and he wouldn't be winning out of turn. LADY VALOU (11) fits a similar profile after successive runners-up finishes and is likely to make life difficult for the selection, especially in receipt of 7kg. GRACE OF CLIFFS (7) caught the eye last time (5th) and ought to acquit herself competitively after two much-needed comeback outings, while consistent MIAMI BEET (3) makes a quick reappearance and can get into the picture at longer odds.
- MORHIB (6) has caught the eye recently with encouraging 4th-place finishes in consecutive starts and seems close to success at this level, especially with the step up to this distance also likely to serve him well. ZELZALITA (11) and JOYCE GALESTE (13) should pose a threat to the selection, given their form and experience at this level. BONNIE HOPPS (1) thrives on this Fontainebleau track and is another capable of playing a leading role with the benefit of her rider's 2,5kg allowance.
- A good second on turf in a harness contest last time out, HOLD UP PECE (11) is back under the saddle and is expected to give a good account of himself. INOUIE DOMPIERRE (10) is not the most dependable but she has the ability to win a race of this nature if applied. JOYAU DE SOYORA (7)'s last run at the venue at the end of March makes him look a live threat. IGLESIA (5) is another one to monitor closely back in a ridden race.
- ROCQUEMONT (1) is a previous winner at this track and has been running well on the PSF of late. He gets the vote ahead of CORTEZ BANK (2) who was a decent fourth at this track two starts ago and has lots of placed efforts at this venue before that. BLACK FALCON (4) won two starts ago on the PSF but is also effective on grass. MUELHEIMER PERLE (5) is a previous course winner and can not be discounted.
- QUEEN'S CITY (8) showed nice promise when she was fifth at this track over 1000m on April 24th. She can improve from that effort and get the job done at the second time of asking. Her main danger could be LES MARQUISES (6) who should appreciate the step up in trip after a fourth over 900m last time at Saint-Cloud. YOUNG AND PROUD (2) looks like the best each-way option. VICTORY STREET (4) makes up the shortlist.
- LAZYM (1) has a good chance of getting off the mark after some promising efforts of late. He can score from his likely main threat BELLAELO (2) who had a nice run when third at this track two starts ago and faired reasonably well last time. QUEEN LIZZIE (3) won when last seen as one for the each-way backers to look at. BAYLINER (7) also warrants respect and is one for the shortlist.
- BUSINESS PLAN (2) was a pleasing fourth last time and a good winner on the PSF before that at Lyon La Soie in mid-March. L'INDOMPTABLE (1) could be the main threat. She won at Compiegne on March 29th over 2000m and is ultra-consistent. ASPEN (3) is the most likely each-way angle having won two starts ago at Toulouse in late March over 2400m. DOCTEUR TOURNESOL (4) is also worth considering.
- LAGOONE CHOPE (8) was a pleasing fourth last time on the PSF last month and is the tentative selection in an open-looking race. DRAGON LOVE (1) has been in the mix on his last eight starts and can once again have a say at the business end. NEHOU (6) won two starts ago and ought to be involved if emulating that performance. AMIATA (7) should be value in the betting market and is one to consider from a place perspective.
- TOYOTOMI (2) has by far the best form of those that have run. He was placed at this track on debut and shaped well when third on the PSF back in January. He will be fit and ready for this after a nice break. ALMANABAA (8) looks good on paper and will be expected to feature on her debut. SUPER TIE BREAK (3) ran well at this track two runs ago and will not be far away. NO BAY (6) is one to watch on debut and heads the remainder.
- SALMA (3) is in top form and holds strong claims of making it three wins in a row after her last success at Marseille Pont-Vivaux last month. Her main threat could come from MAKEMAKE (7) who was second in the race behind the selection and has almost three lengths to find. HOUSTON STREET (6) can not be discounted, he is lightly raced and has more to come. DABASIR (1) has ground to find with a couple of old rivals although the return to grass could be more in favour.
- LAKE NAIVASHA (3) won at this track last time and holds every chance of following up on that success. SOAN (1) could be the main threat as he was third in the same race behind the selection. He was just over a length behind and is weighted to turn that form around. SPORT COUPE (4) is also one to pay attention to and can make his rivals work hard. VALYRIAN STEEL (5) heads the remainder.
- Sent for a break after confirming her monta potential mid-January, KARA MIA (4) has two races in her and returns to the discipline with victory a distinct possibility. KARINE DU DOLLAR (8) will have come on for her re-entry run, sports just front shoes, and will have a lot to offer if Julien Balu keeps her focused. KEJAIME DE HOUELLE (6) has buckets of ability, reverts to a winning configuration and, on good behaviour, will be competitive for a spot on the podium. KOOKIE DE BELLANDE (5) made up for her Reims harness sanction with a solid Enghien performance and, even though shod this time, must still be taken seriously.
- LOVISSIME (7) makes her first appearance in the monta discipline, having shown potential under harness and, fitted with front pads and with Mathieu Mottier in the irons, can get straight down to business. She will still encounter resistance from LAMBADA DU GOUTIER (5) who showed a different side to herself at Caen late-March, and the promising LOVE ME BECO (3) who debuts in the code she was destined for.
By Michael Graham - FR GILLIGANSVOYGE popped up in this race last year and a return to Punchestown might see him regain a winning thread. He has been placed in three handicap chases since then and, although a couple of comeback spins in hunters chases at Gowran Park and Down Royal didn't see him at his best, they should have him primed for this. De Nordener ran well for a long way over further in a banks race on the opening day of the festival before dropping to fifth, so he ought to be a significant player. Patrick Mullins is a notable booking for Brown Monday who must be given a market check.
By Michael Graham - TACTICAL MOVE's form looks particularly solid which gives him a shot at overturning stablemate Mister Policeman. He was beaten less than two lengths into second in a Grade 1 in Fairyhouse at the end of March and the winner followed up in another top-level contest at Punchestown on Tuesday. Willie Mullins, who has an outstanding record in this race, also saddles Mister Policeman who is three from four over fences. He was a comfortable winner of a Grade 3 novice chase in Thurles and has to be respected off top-weight up in trip. Perceval Legallois has the ability to contend if he can brush up on his jumping.
By Michael Graham - The 153-rated ALLEGORIE DE VASSY sets the standard for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend. Her form has been generally very consistent since switching to chasing back in December 2022. She has won twice at this level and was last seen finishing well in fourth in the Grade 2 mares' chase at the Cheltenham Festival. The in-form Brides Hill is gunning for a four-timer and was impressive in Listed class at Huntingdon. The concern would be that Allegorie De Vassy comprehensively beat her in a Grade 2 at Thurles last year. Instit, a stablemate of Allegorie De Vassy, is next best on ratings and can get in the mix.
By Michael Graham - ITS ON THE LINE is taken to repeat last year's victory. He has put together a very solid portfolio of work this season in finishing a close second at Cheltenham and then delivering at Aintree. He is ground versatile and, as a seven-year-old, there should be more to come from him in this discipline. A bad mistake at the last saw Famous Clermont drop to second in his comeback run at Wincanton. He has form in the book to advertise his chance, though. Lifetime Ambition won well in Cork while Boss Robin is an upwardly-mobile sort. Ferns Lock is classy, but has just lost a bit of form.
By Tom Weekes - Champion Hurdle hero STATE MAN is a nine-time Grade 1 winner who is unbeaten in four course runs and won last year's renewal of this race. His only defeat in his last 12 starts has been to Constitution Hill at Cheltenham in 2023 and while just 1.25 lengths separated him and Irish Point in March, the selection is currently at his peak and is ground-versatile. Dual top-level winner Irish Point should again give him a race but needs to find improvement to turn form. Sir Gerhard drops in distance having run well in a recent Sandown Grade 2 but has winning form at this distance and can fill third place.
By Tom Weekes - BALLYBURN is this season's outstanding novice hurdler and has already won two bumpers at this course. Defeated on hurdling debut last December, he has since proven himself to be top class, defeating subsequent Supreme Novices Hurdle winner Slade Steel by seven lengths in February before winning well from today's rival Jimmy Du Seuil in the Gallagher Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham. The selection is ground-versatile, suited by this distance and has a huge rating of 163 for a novice. Jimmy Du Seuil is rated 18lb inferior and after Cheltenham, was subsequently beaten four lengths by Staffordshire Knot at Aintree so might struggle to turn around that form, in a likely battle for second-place.
By Tom Weekes - ANOTHERWAY looked a smart prospect in winning his maiden hurdle very easily in January and was in strong contention when falling in a Grade 2 in March. In that recent Fairyhouse race, he was making good headway and travelling well when exiting at the second-last so his full ability is as yet unknown. He drops in grade today but nonetheless faces recent Fred Winter Hurdle winner Lark In The Mornin. He stepped forward markedly from his maiden hurdle runs when winning at Cheltenham and while he might progress further, faces a smart selection. Last season's Triumph Hurdle-fifth Ascending is rated 131 and while he disappointed in a February maiden hurdle, now runs in a first-time tongue-tie.
By Tom Weekes - FISHERY LANE ran well in a smart Thurles bumper on debut and subsequently showed excellent form to finish fifth in the Cheltenham festival bumper. A E67,000 store purchase, he was the only maiden to contest that Cheltenham race and a reproduction of that form might prove enough to win. Don'tstopthemusic is a lightly-raced seven-year-old which hasn't run since last August's Galway festival but he also showed plenty ability then. That race has worked out very well with seven of the other 13 runners scoring subsequently and he is likely to be primed for today's race with Derek O'Connor booked. Tradecraft finished in front of a wide-margin subsequent winner at Kempton in February and has place claims.
- FIER JAGUEN bids to land this contest for a second year running and the son of No Risk At All ticks plenty of the right boxes. Bradley Gibbs' gelding has been in fine fettle between the flags in recent months and he's taken to fend off Caryto Des Brosses once more. The veteran is a potential improver in first-time cheekpieces and he should give another good account, while Missed Tee may fare best of the remainder at the foot of the weights.
- Despite racing somewhat lazily, ISKANDAR PECOS completed a double over 2m4f at Ludlow last month. This stiffer test of stamina should see the six-year-old travel better and he rates as the one to beat. The biggest threat may emerge from Rules debutant Latenightrumble, who regained the winning thread in a point-to-point last time out. Wolf Walker could also make an impact now tried under NH rules and market support could prove significant.
- Yippee Ki Yay arrives on the back of a solid second at Exeter and he's sure to prove popular as the highest-rated runner in this contest. However, it could be worth taking a chance on JETAWAY JOEY, who completed a hat-trick on his reappearance between the flags in March. Georgina Ellis' charge was a useful hurdler under Rules and he looks to possess enough ability to land a race of this nature. Polish and Haven't Time are also worth a closer look.
- The older horses have held sway in this contest in recent years which suggests a big run could be on the cards from the veteran Deise Aba, who has won three out of four point-to-points before scoring in this sphere at Stratford last month. He can go well but PREMIER MAGIC won this at odds-on last season and looks set for another bold effort, despite pulling up here at the Festival. Fairly Famous and Lift Me Up represent the younger generation and they may fight it out for the minor placing.
- REGATTA DE BLANC does have to give 3lb to all of his rivals here, but that seems unlikely to stop him as Will Biddick looks to get another win for the six-year-old. Unbeaten in his first five starts, including four point-to-points and a Taunton hunter chase, he was second at Newbury but could get back to winning ways now. Chenery might come out best of the rest and finish second once more, leaving Dul Ar Aghaidh as an option for third.
- Law Of Gold has been victorious on each of his last two point-to-point starts and his mark of 134 gives him a big chance on his return to Rules. However, the vote goes to GABORIOT, who scored by six lengths over 3m1f at Catterick in March before unseating his rider in the Foxhunters at Aintree last month. Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero's eight-year-old should find this a lot easier and he is taken to return to winning ways. Coup De Pinceau is another to watch out for.
- GO ON CHEZ returned from a 232-day break to record a smooth success over 3m at Ludlow and he should have no issues with this drop in distance. The son of Malinas could prove very hard to beat in his follow-up bid, with his main threat possibly being Espoir De Guye, who is more than capable at this level on his day and he could leave his poor effort at Aintree behind him. Rebel Dawn Rising and Cat Tiger are others to keep an eye on.
- It is hard to oppose DEVIL'S POINT, who sets the bar very high. David Menuisier's three-year-old finished second in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster in October before being beaten into third in a Group 3 event at Deauville on his recent return, but this may prove to be an easier assignment. Grey Charger is preferred over Change For Good in the fight for the silver medal, as he could have plenty more to offer after his debut victory at Chelmsford in November.
- Manxman makes his return to action seeking a fifth victory in a row, but he is 4lb higher than his success at Pontefract in September and that will make life tougher for him. With that in mind, RATHGAR looks the way to go. Jack Channon's representative finished a close-up third on his return at Chelmsford after being gelded and he remains on the same mark. The four-year-old can take full advantage of this drop in grade, while Fox Vision warrants a market check.
- Lady Lightning beat Ellomate (third) on her debut at Wolverhampton last month and she was well on top at the line, so she is fancied to confirm that form, despite competing off 7lb worse terms. However, the vote goes to BROSAY, who improved on his debut effort at the Curragh to finish third at Dundalk on his latest outing and he could be the one to beat. Carderock needs to be monitored in the betting on his debut.
- David Probert formed a winning partnership with Spanish Star in last year's corresponding race and, off just 3lb higher, another bold showing is expected. However, this is a deeper renewal and with the likes of Live In The Moment and Indian Creak likely to be setting warm fractions, things could be teed up nicely for GISBURN. The selection appeals off a competitive mark with forecast ground conditions ideal. Baldomero and Many A Star also add some spice.
- Clarendon House, who was second in the 2022 renewal of this race, commands respect dropping back into a handicap after a couple of spins in pattern company. Desperate Hero and King's Lynn should act on the ground conditions and can figure off competitive marks. However, Harry Brown and DREAM COMPOSER may be the pair to focus on, with the latter shading preference as a previous course and distance winner, with Joe Levy's 5lb claim an additional bonus.
- An eye-catcher when keeping on well for third on her return over 1m at Kempton last month, UNREAL CONNECTION has a strong staying pedigree on her dam's side and should be well suited by going up in trip. The daughter of Calyx gets the vote ahead of the recent Epsom winner Portsmouth, who has a 6lb penalty to overcome for that taking success. Show Biz Kid (third) has three-and-a-half lengths to make up from that contest but should not be discounted.
- PHOENIX PASSION was always doing enough when scoring at Windsor last month and conditions are likely to be in his favour again as he looks to follow up off a 4lb higher mark. The form of the stable is another plus and he should have too much for the unexposed Muttasil, who is of interest on his handicap debut and stepping back up in trip. Daymer Bay showed some promise as a juvenile and cannot be ruled out either.
- Circus Lion is one to consider after his Redcar second but he hasn't been seen since September and may have a fitness disadvantage against OBLIGATORY and Northerner, who were second and fourth respectively at Catterick last month. The selection was only beaten a neck after weakening close home that day and may find the likely better ground in his favour here.
- Purple Martini is worth consideration as her course and distance victory in May last year off 1lb higher stands out. She can go well, but may not get the better of KELPIE GREY, who won in a higher grade here recently. He carries a 5lb penalty but is likely to find this opposition even easier to deal with, while Homer Stokes is a tentative suggestion for third place.
- Whogoesthere caught the eye when third at Southwell last month on his first start of 2024 and if he can transfer that form to the turf, he would be a serious player off this mark. Crack The Kode is another to consider and looks the sort to improve for the first-time cheekpieces, but SCOOPS AHOY is still preferred. Second at Catterick last month, he represents the in-form David O'Meara stable and is within 1lb of his latest winning mark.
- Not beaten far at Newcastle on her first go over this trip, SHIFTER could have plenty of improvement forthcoming and she is only 3lb higher than her success at Redcar two starts ago. The five-year-old can strike on her return at the main expense of the capable Desert Quest, and Carlos Felix. Unexposed and making his handicap debut, Letsbefrank is one to monitor for market support.
- This can go the way of SUMMIT, who made a promising stable debut at Ripon behind a subsequent winner. David O'Meara's well-bred charge is off an unchanged mark and is preferred to East Bank, who would hold strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his success at Newcastle. Giorgio M shaped well when fourth on his return over 6f at Windsor and should appreciate going up in distance.
- LEDGER may not have shown much on turf for his previous trainer, but he has improved for Lucinda Russell and is the form horse on the back of some excellent recent efforts at Newcastle. A winner over C&D last August, the veteran Chinese Spirit can give him the most to think about, along with Doomsday, who has been second here on two occasions. Fanzone and Loom Large are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
- Just a head separated Wheres The Crumpet (winner) and Hot Team (runner-up) in a classified stakes over this course and distance in March and, while the terms of this race suggest the first-named can uphold the form, David Thompson's mare has never won a handicap and may have to wait for another day. Therefore, it could pay to focus on her stablemate, VISITANT, who is a previous C&D winner off this mark and appears to have fewer questions to answer than the rest.
- Carrying top-weight might not be too much of a burden for MOONSTONE BOY if he builds on what has been a productive period of late. Having won and finished runner-up on Tapeta at Southwell in March, the three-year-old went very close at Thirsk 13 days ago and looks set for another bold bid off a 1lb higher mark. Back on a synthetic surface, his versatility makes the gelding the pick of the bunch. Queen's Guard is feared most, although Cool Run is noted on her debut for a new yard.
- NORTH WINTERFELL has a good opportunity to put his previous experience to good use after finishing third behind a couple of potentially progressive types last time out. The selection posted a better effort with a tongue-strap applied that day and could have plenty more to offer now he has proven his stamina for this trip. Love Safari has a bit to find, so it may be more profitable to consider Positivia for the forecast slot as she switches codes after hinting at ability in a couple of bumpers in March.
- A close-up second on his stable bow at Pontefract recently, TEST OF LOVE lost little in defeat when drawing clear with the victor that day. The Time Test gelding is effectively 4lb well-in and compensation could await if coping with the quick turnaround. Cuban Storm boasts a similar profile to the selection and he's feared most, ahead of Socialise, who beat Michael Dods' charge by a length and a half over this over C&D last month but reopposes that rival on much worse terms.
- Outrun The Storm warrants respect having made all in a 14-runner affair over track and trip last month. However, the six-year-old didn't have much to spare that day and a 3lb higher mark could leave him vulnerable. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on the lightly-raced ZAPPHIRE. Julie Camacho's filly finished last year's campaign with a respectable third over this C&D and 2024 could prove fruitful for the lightly-raced four-year-old. Dawn Of Liberation and As If By Chance are also noted.
- ODD SOCKS HAVANA got up by a length in this grade over a mile here on his latest outing and he has a 5lb penalty to carry for that triumph. Rebeeca Menzies' six-year-old continues in fine form and he doesn't look one to take on in his bid for a hat-trick. Angel Of Antrim rarely runs a bad race and his most recent third over 1m here puts him into contention once more, while Marcello Si is also worth a second look.
- MAGIC GEM made the frame in this grade over track and trip when last seen in September and he has since switched to the Michael Herrington stable. The son of Garswood goes off an unchanged rating and he could be the one to beat if fully wound up for his reappearance. Tillybob outran her long odds when not beaten far in fifth over this C&D in March and she has been dropped 2lb for that display, which puts her in contention. Last-time-out winner Dandys Gold is another to note.
- MAGIC DREAM did everything right bar getting her head in front on debut and, with improvement expected, this half-sister to Group 1 winner Naval Crown should be able to get off the mark at the second attempt. Mallavelly seemed a different proposition on her first start as a three-year-old when second here over 1m last month, and stepping up in trip looks like the correct move. A stablemate of the selection, Precious Jewel looks to be the pick of the newcomers, while Sea Just In Time is worth a second look for the in-form William Haggas team.
- Trainer Charlie Appleby has landed this contest for the last two years and he looks to have another ideal candidate in the unbeaten ENDLESS VICTORY, who was made to work hard for his victory over C&D last month. The attitude he showed that day should stand him in good stead as he looks to see off Whip Cracker and Caviar Heights, who only had a short-head separating them when second and third respectively in the Feilden Stakes here recently. Sayedaty Sadaty showed up on well on his return in the Burradon Stakes and going up in trip may eke out further improvement.
- A taking winner over 6f at the Craven meeting here last month, DARK THIRTY should have no issues with going back up in trip and a 3lb rise for that success could prove quite lenient. Richard Hannon's admirable sort is narrowly preferred to Thunder Ball, who went well for a long way in the Spring Cup over 1m at Newbury before weakening into fourth late in the piece. Noble Dynasty shaped with promise on his return from a long absence at Meydan, while English Oak is another key player trying this trip for the first time since his debut last May. Completing the shortlist are Final Watch, Saint Lawrence and Zouky.
- A small but select field of improving three-year-olds possibly headed by INDIAN RUN, who took the Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York last August before coming last in the Dewhurst Stakes, when the soft ground did not help his chances. If he has trained on, then he could prove too good for the likes of Boiling Point and Bold Style, who finished a good second and third respectively over this C&D last month and they will be looking to put their race-fitness to good use as they rise in class.
- Naqeeb is interesting if a gelding operation brings about some improvement, but he still needs to find more if he wants get the better of CASTLE WAY. Fourth at Meydan on his return in March before scoping badly after the race and given time to recover, he can hopefully recapture his better form, which includes three wins at Newmarket (two on this course). Time Lock is a classy C&D winner, but it is noted he is yet to win on his first start of the season.
- L'Ennemi seems worth a market check on his first start for Julie Camacho, with a mark of 81 looking workable after a good third at Haydock on his final start of 2023. He can go well, but Charlie Appleby has won three of the last seven runnings of this race and has a solid chance again with SILENT AGE. The selection threw away the race at the start at Newcastle but had won his previous two outings and may do better now in handicap company on his turf bow. The hat-trick seeking Rocking Tree may prove best of the rest.
- A taking winner over C&D last time, WYSOQUIET should have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up for his in-form connections. Eleanors Jack and Swiped The Castle are likely to be thereabouts.
- DOG TOWN ALLEN had J. Wick (third) behind when narrowly denied over C&D last time and he is taken to go one better. Bop Zapper can have a say in proceedings as well.
- Runner-up on three of his last five starts here, CURB THAT TIGER deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Astrayal, Stormi Vanna and Lovetheband.
- The downgraded JACKYSINTHECASTLE should appreciate a return to this distance and a first victory in 2024 could be on the cards. Princess Halo and Pour Me A Drink are viable alternatives.
- PYEONG CHANG has been unlucky to fill the runner-up spot on each of his last three starts and he can go one better on this occasion. Jumpster and Welling are also worthy of consideration.
- AIM'S REDIRECT had four of these rivals behind when filling the runner-up berth on her debut over C&D and she can confirm that form to go one better. Day Drama, third that day, and newcomer Dream Leader can give her most to think about.
- Now that the penny has dropped for SHORT OF DINERO, who recorded a taking success over 6f at Laurel Park, she can follow up at the main expense of Somebody Loves Me and Sybarite.
- BLUSHING BIP BOP has improved with each start and may be able to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Our Brew and newcomer Bold Indy can give her most to think about.
- A costly purchase at the sales, the well-bred THOUGHTFUL has shown up well in recent workouts and looks primed to strike in this winnable affair. Sundance Feature and Penny Royal can follow her home.
- SIDAMARA improved for the step up in trip when scoring over this distance at Keeneland and she can follow up, with Sedona and Weigh The Risks looking best placed to chase her home.
- ARTHUR'S RIDE won on his return in March and the hat-trick looks to be on the cards for the son of Tapit. Others to note include Brigadier General, Empty Tomb and Prove Worthy.
- An open contest in which only a tentative vote can go to EMBRACE ME, who ought to find this easier than the Grade 1 she contested last month. Freydis The Red and Bravo Kitten are feared most.
- IDIOMATIC rounded off last season with a statement win in the Breeders' Cup Distaff and Brad Cox's mare will be hard to beat all being well. Pretty Mischievous is the main danger, while Xigera heads the remainder.
- OVA CHARGED hosed up by 12 lengths at Fair Grounds in March and it's hard to get away from that performance. Stone Silent and Elm Drive are others to watch out for.
- TAPIT TRICE finished third in the Travers at Saratoga in August last year and, provided he is ready to go on his return, he could prove very hard to beat. First Mission and Il Miracolo are others to note.
- HEAVENLY SUNDAY bolted up over an extended mile here in November and she could prove difficult to beat in her follow-up bid. Aspen Grove and Surprisingly represent strong alternatives.
- IMPEL may have lost her unbeaten record when third in a Grade 1 event at Keeneland last time, but that is far and away the best form on offer in this contest. Although, Denim And Pearls and R Harper Rose won't make it easy.
- Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner HARD TO JUSTIFY has displayed a fantastic attitude in all three victories to date and she should have enough class to score. Buchu and Mo Fox Givin top the list of threats.
- Todd Pletcher looks to have an ideal candidate in the Ashland Stakes winner LESLIE'S ROSE. The daughter of Into Mischief can uphold form with Just F Y I (second), while Tarifa and Thorpedo Anna are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
- ALMOSTGONE ROCKET made quite the impression on debut when scoring easily at Oaklawn Park and is entitled to improve. She gets the vote ahead of Harbor Springs and Tweetster.
- Now that the penny has dropped for PERSPICACIOUS BOY after a determined victory over C&D, there could be plenty more to come from the four-year-old. He can get the better of Bold Honor and Open The Books.
- MELIPONINI BEE did it well when scoring over C&D last time out and she can notch up a third career success. Fashionista and Tak E Lady look to be her main dangers.
- Dropping back to 6f looks like a good move for FLAG SONG FLYIN and she is capable of breaking the maiden at the sixth time of asking. Chells Girl and Just The Thing need considering as well.
- SWEET HEIDELBERG is the pick of this bunch, with Lucky Lorraine and Keen Contender suggested as others to monitor in the betting.
- Second on each of her last two starts, CONFLUENCE LASSIE has good enough form to go one better and is fancied to have too many guns for Life At Both Ends and Sippin' Time.
- Already an eight-time winner at this venue, ALBERTANO looks a key player after last month's return to action. Disputed Notion and Workin On A Dream complete the shortlist.
- DARK POOL has some solid turf form to her name and this looks a suitable opportunity for her to gain a career first victory. Queen Of The Dance and Kake's Tap Dancer are other key contenders.
- It's hard to get away from KILO ROAD, who offered a lot of encouragement when third on debut here in March. Gettothstoryimdone is feared most, while market support for newcomer Spirit And Truth could prove significant.
- SISTER SUPREAM has been knocking on the door of late and this looks like a good opportunity to regain the winning thread. Completing the shortlist are A New Peace, Isabella's Glory and Our Strong Vows.
- Runner-up on two of his last three starts, COMMON PROSPERITY deserves a change in luck and he can strike for his in-form connections. Cavendish and Coronation Time are leading contenders as well.
- SUMMER OF MISCHIEF ran out an impressive winner on her latest start and is likely to be a tough nut to crack. Others to note are Diva Treva and Abby The Bull Dawg.
- TEE BURNS can take advantage of an ease in grade following a solid effort here in March. The main threats are likely to be Rifey and Rare Stripe.
- HURRICANE FIRE has been running with plenty of credit and the five-year-old is fancied to get off the mark on this occasion. Lemonesse and Barstool Babe appeal most of the remainder.
- The drop in grade can see TIMBAVATI return to winning ways at the main expense of Unbridled Twister and War Music.
- Q'S YOUR MAMA could be hard to stop at this level, although Lost Love and Perceptive are others who may go well.
- Devious Diva and Art Queen could both go well but preference is for the unexposed GOGO BOBBYJO, who has shown promise at a higher level than this in recent months.
- Money Run holds Speight And Malice on their February meeting and, as they face off at the same weights now, he may confirm that form. Both can go well along with outsider Pressure, but EXCESS MAGIC could prove too good for them all. Placed in better races recently, he might make the most of the weaker opposition in this line-up.
- In what looks a fiercely competitive event on paper, HUSH IT HONEY gets the narrowest of votes in a fascinating race. Haulin Ice and Here U Come Again are the obvious dangers, although Affection impressed on her only start and could improve enough to take a hand.
- Sulwe seems likely to prove popular but she was only a length ahead of CASHMERE BABY on their March meeting and she meets that rival on 14lb worse terms here. Kantex would be preferred if this was over a shorter trip but she needs to prove she gets the mile, while Rivercrest Girl could surprise a few at a bigger price.
- TITLED LADY was narrowly denied over C&D last month and compensation could await here. Tiffany Twist and Choctaw Bingo top the list of threats.
- A weak contest in which preference is for MY JULIA, who can build on an encouraging course third to shed her maiden tag. Ariel M D and Arden Ar are others to consider.
- A $70,000-purchase, R HEISMAN is the most appealing in a moderate event. Keep Dancin Nick and A Votre Sante are others to monitor closely in the betting.
- A seven-length winner over this C&D on her second career start, BIT'S TIGER MAGIC is hard to overlook here. Chamaville and Clubhouse Bride complete the shortlist.
- Classy and Max's Maxine both have the ability to go well, but WARREN'S SHOWGIRL is the ready form pick and is taken to go one better than her close second in a maiden last time.
- The progressive ENJOY IT STRAIT arrives on the back of a C&D victory and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Low Expectations and Giovinazzo warrant a second look too.
- The market should prove informative for these debutants, with a tentative vote going to CALI CREAM, who posted a solid workout here in April. Broadway Venus and Swift Harmony are feared most.
- HAYLEY AMBER and Moorea Time have some strong form to their names, with the former shading the verdict in receipt of 8lb from the latter. Market support for 200,000-dollar newcomer Truly Magical would be interesting.
- VINDICATED TIGER's stamina appeared stretched by a mile when only ninth here last month and this drop in distance could prove fruitful. Testa Dura and Catalina Express top the list of threats.
- NINETYNINECARATS was flying too high when sixth on the turf course here recently and she can regain the winning thread in these calmer waters. Last-time-out maiden winners Creativperformance and Thank The Academy are feared most.
- BEASTIE GIRL posted a solid third here last month and a reproduction of that effort may be enough to thwart chief rivals Armonia and Heavens Express.
- GRAND LADY INDY took a step forward to fill the runner-up spot over track and trip last month and she can go one better. Above The Sky and Princess Bu Cherro are others to watch out for.
- BODACIOUS BREN is a really consistent performer and her most recent third at Gulfstream looks like the form to focus on in this contest. Glorious Wave and East Wing are also worthy of consideration.
- BEAUTIFUL ASTRAY finished second at this level over an extended 5f here last month and she looks the one to beat. Cajun Expectation and newcomer Camdyn Race could also get involved.
- LIGEIA has shown more than enough in recent starts to suggest that she can regain the winning thread. Noble Tess and Vingativa are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
- Runner-up on his last three starts here, STREET GLIDE deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion. Big Bucksalot and Village Preacher cannot be ruled out either.
- NOBLE FACTOR sets the standard on the back of three runner-up efforts in four career starts. Darien Rodriguez's charge gets the vote ahead of Attrayant and Red Roadster.
- First Call continues to run well and must feature prominently in calculations but it is MR NAVIGATOR, who struck here on dirt time out but will have no problem with the return to turf, that shades preference. Mr Love Muffin heads the remainder.
- It's hard to oppose U CAN DO U, who is now 3-3 at this venue having landed a trio of stakes victories recently. Caution Cardinal and Don Juan Bubba head the remainder.
- Six-time course winner KATAR arrives in scintillating form and he looks set to land a hat-trick. Lobdell Lake and Res Ipsa Loquitur can battle it out for the remaining places.
- CHARLIE'S MAN posted a strong speed-figure when narrowly denied here last month and a similar performance should prove sufficient. Husto and Pareto's Principle are other key contenders.
