- Runner-up under the saddle in his penultimate outing, HOLD UP NOCTURNE (2) is ideally placed to reconnect with success having maintained his form and consistency alternating between the disciplines. Quentin Seguin, who is without equal in the South-East, is a notable engagement aboard HIRO DE L'ORMERIE (6) whose efficiency/competitiveness in the mounted code is beyond doubt. GASTON CABS (4), reverts to this code with legitimate ambitions, as does last-start harness winner FILLMORE (3). Good race!
- OCEANE PEARL (2) ran a solid race on her second outing at Saint-Cloud on 19 April. She changed hands on this occasion and is expected to be a serious player first time up for trainer Adrien Fouassier. OCEANE PEARL (2) ships a long way from Maisons-Laffitte to run his first race and is worth some consideration. OCEANE PEARL (2) posted a good first start effort and should improve. OCEANE PEARL (2) can spring a surprise.
- ON BORROWED TIME (4) is well placed in the weight and can win this race if capable of building up on his last effort in a handicap at Le Mans. ON BORROWED TIME (4) ran a solid race last time out at Argentan and should have a leading role here if he stays the trip. ON BORROWED TIME (4) is back over what seems to be his best distance. DA VINCI (3)c takes a step down in grade and could have a say in this line-up.
- ZALETTO (5) generally goes well over the longer trips and is sure to play a leading role in this open contest. PENCLAUDJEANGREEN (8) is better than his last start suggests and is expected to make amends at a track where he has a decent record. Stablemate to the former, SRIDEDGREEN (2) is a tough competitor and could also have a say. SRIDEDGREEN (2) is a French AQPS that is worth a mention against the thoroughbreds.
- WAR OF THE ROSES (2) has run some solid races thus far and looks very competitive over this selective mile and half course. However he will have to keep a close eye on ERIDITA DOVER (3) who comes in the race on the back of a good 2nd over the course & distance in a Class 2. LOST IN MUSIC (1) takes a slight drop in class and can bounce back. LADYSHOW (4) cannot be discounted and will have her supporters.
- KRACK BOUM AULMES (6) did all that was asked when winning on debut and had a number of these rivals behind him that time. He should win. KISS ME D'EX (5) did not have a clear passage last time out so should get a lot closer this time. KIMI DE MAI (8) has been good so far and should be a threat. KATE TO WIN (4) is consistent and should be involved with the finish once again.
- JOYVOL (8) is improving and should not have a problem back in a hurdle race after a good last win in a chase. JARDIN SECRET (4) is also coming off a good case win and was a winner the last time he contested a hurdle race. LUCKY DREAM (1) has not won since 2021 but is down in class and is clearly not out of it. TEMPOLKA (9) was not disgraced last time out but is seeking a first success.
- A very competitive lucky last race. HAPPYDAY (3) returned to form with a solid win last time out and he has won a chase before so could be the right one. CHARMINO (2) let his supporters down last time out but was in fine form before that and can bounce back to score.if in the mood. IDYLLE DES MOTTES (5) is in good form and won well enough last time out to be a threat to these rivals. AS MAGNETIC (6) was consistent before falling last time out so deserves some respect.
- Some well-bred fillies line up and RIMJA (2) could be the pick of them. Her dam was a winner and she is from a trainer who can ready a debutante. PINTA (5) looks good on paper, her dam won a Group 3 race over 1200m and she will be well forward for this outing. UNTIL DAWN (7) is a daughter of Dawn Approach and trained by Andre Fabre. She will not be far away at the business end. SULTANE (6) could fare best of the rest.
- The former Andre Fabre-trained filly LISIMBA (3) is taken to get off the mark on her first start for new connections. She has shown she has talent. TEMPLETON (6) could be the main threat after a good second last time at Moulins. ROMANCE MARINE (11) and WIKENDA (1) are both capable performers and can not be ruled out of making the top three with luck in running.
- SUNWAY (1) will be sharper for a run last month when fifth and this promising colt scored last October in the Vainqueur De Criterium International (Gr.1) in October and should have too much class for his rivals. CASAPUEBLO (2) was a shade below par last time but was a promising juvenile and can acquit himself better today. CORNELIENNE (4) got off the mark on her seasonal return and warrants respect.
- MOWGLI (5) ran a much better race last time when fifth at Lyon Parilly late last month and could be running into better form. LA DIVA D'ALBEN (10) is also one that has been a bit frustrating of late but is capable of making an impact. ZAHYANA (9) could be the best each-way option after a decent second last time. PLEASEMAN (2) arrives after a win and will be full of confidence for that success.
- L'IBANETA (1) gets the marginal vote after a good third two starts ago in a Class 3 race in early March. PANJAMAN (4) is a danger having run well when a pleasing fourth at Le Mans in late April in a Class 3 handicap. ATHINEOS (10) is the likely best option for the each-way backers to consider. VISILANDA (7) is also one to consider from a place perspective having scored two starts ago at Le Croise- Laroche last November.
- GOLD PALACE (1) ran well enough last time when sixth in late April in a Class 3 handicap and gets the marginal vote ahead of GRAZANO (2) who has dropped in the ratings after some unplaced efforts. Off a reasonable handicap mark he can be on the premises. ARMORIGENE (6) was a decent second two runs ago and warrants plenty of respect. SEMEUR (10) is also one that needs to be considered from a place perspective.
- BATESCA (6) drops into a claimer after showing promise last time in a maiden race in early April. He can edge this from KALEOCREEK (3) who does not know how to run a bad race in this type of race. He was a solid third last time and can not be ruled out. SALALAH (12) has form good enough to be competitive and was a winner three starts ago. VICE CAPTAIN (1) warrants respect and can be involved at the business end.
- PUERTO MADERO (3) was a good second two runs ago at Saint-Cloud over 1400m and is the tentative selection in an open race. JACK O'BOY (2) scored three runs ago over 1400m in a Class 3 race and is more than capable of being involved. KERNO QUATZ (6) is one for the each-way backers to look at after a credible run last time when fifth at Saint-Cloud. MILAD (8) makes up the shortlist.
- HOLESHOT (13) enjoyed some great success last winter at Vincennes and finds here a great spot to resume winning ways. Associated to top rider/driver Eric Raffin, IDEAL DE BANNES (3) is one to follow closely back under the saddle. ICARE WILLIAMS (8) is in the form of his life and warrants the utmost respect. Watch for IRON D'ESPOIR (11) who is still very unexposed in the ridden code.
By John O'Riordan - The eye is immediately drawn to the well bred debutant ELZEM. A full-brother to two multiple winners, one of those at Group 1 level, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt certainly has the right pedigree. O'Brien has made a very good start to the current campaign, so this juvenile has to be a leading fancy in what has the makings of an informative contest. Barnavara is another from a smart family, although there has to be a suspicion that she will do better over further. Nonetheless, with the ground likely to be quite testing, her stamina could prove advantageous. Right And True also has to enter calculations given his connections.
By John O'Riordan - A winner on the opening day of the season, ARIZONA BLAZE can maintain his unbeaten record for trainer Adrian Murray. The third horse, Monotone, went on to give that particular form a boost when successful at Cork on his next start. With his ability to handle testing conditions not in question, Murray's colt can make it two-from-two under David Egan. Dundalk maiden winner Morning Vietnam looked a very useful prospect when easily going in at the first time of asking. However, the Michael O'Callaghan-trained colt faces an altogether different set of conditions here. Whistlejacket, who showed plenty of early speed on his debut over 6f, should appreciate dropping back a furlong now.
By John O'Riordan - The Aidan O'Brien-trained SAMUEL COLT should appreciate this easier assignment having run really well when runner-up in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on his reappearance. The form of his two-year-old maiden win at this venue last October has been well advertised subsequently. Bright Stripes finished a long way behind Samuel Colt in that aforementioned Leopardstown race but that was almost certainly not his true running. Andy Oliver's colt had some very smart form in decent company as a juvenile, so is worth another chance to prove himself. Norwalk Havoc needs to improve on what he has done to date but the Jessica Harrington-trained gelding won't be easily passed if getting to the front early on.
By John O'Riordan - Madrid Handicap third SLUICE could prove well treated off just a 1lb higher mark. The runner-up in that Naas contest has won subsequently, while the fourth has been placed in both Listed and Group 3 races. Meeting nothing of that calibre here, Joseph O'Brien's filly can give the weight away. Pepper Noir made a pleasing turf debut when fifth against her elders over course and distance last month. The Gavin Cromwell-trained filly should be suited to a race restricted to her own sex and age group. Glimmerglass catches the eye towards the foot of the weights. The maiden in which the John Feane-trained filly finished seventh here last backend has been well franked in recent weeks.
By John O'Riordan - Although she would most likely prefer a sounder surface, JUMBLY shaped well enough when runner-up on soft/heavy here on her reappearance to suggest she can go one better now. With the benefit of that run under her belt, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly should be that much fitter, while the ground is probably not going to be as stamina sapping. The Fozzy Stack-trained You Send Me reverts to what is arguably her optimum distance having raced over both 6f and a mile of late. The four-year-old should have no difficulty coping with ground conditions. Aide from Jumbly, trainer Joseph O'Brien looks to have a particularly strong hand with Gregarina and Valpolicella also capable of featuring.
By John O'Riordan - Epsom Derby third WHITE BIRCH can continue his revival by adding to his recent course and distance win. The John Joseph Murphy-trained colt ran below par in the Irish Derby last July and again failed to show his true form when beaten in Group 3 class at Leopardstown on his final start. However, there was plenty to like about his winning reappearance at this track last month. Elegant Man is a fascinating contender for Adrian Murray on his first start on turf. The four-year-old put up a hugely impressive weight carrying performance when winning at Newcastle over Easter but has yet to race on grass. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Maxux looks best of the remainder.
By John O'Riordan - Course and distance winner RACING ROYALTY should have every chance of adding to his win here last October. The Gillian Scott-trained five-year-old travelled well throughout that contest before keeping on strongly once challenged close home. The five-year-old should be all the better for a recent run at Leopardstown where he finished fifth. Secret Magician, who was ahead of Racing Royalty over 6f here last season, has every chance despite being slightly worse off at the revised weights. The Martin Hassett-trained gelding should be approaching peak fitness after two previous starts this term. El Bello, runner-up over course and distance last month, is another that holds leading claims.
By Michael Graham - Henry de Bromhead took this race last year and has prospects with LE COQ HARDI. This Youmzain gelding made his track debut in third in a more than decent bumper at Thurles, and there was merit in his fourth over flights at Punchestown in November. Mordor looks the danger. He was thought good enough to contest the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival in March, but was brought down. A subsequent third in Limerick wasn't his best, however, he should appreciate this company. Old Port hasn't completed in his last last two starts, but has a chance on his third at Cork in December while Dromineer Smurphy is another to consider.
By Michael Graham - BENJIS BENEFIT got going too late when second in Downpatrick and might go one better. This greater test of stamina at this track could suit on his first start since switching to Denis Hogan. Breagagh is a long-standing maiden, but was backed to deliver at this track in January before finishing third. He was well clear of the fourth who came out and won on his next start here, so the form is there. Tell Us This finished mid-division in a big field at Naas and there should be more to come. Forever Frankie and Up And Out came home second and third respectively in Tramore which gives them claims.
By Michael Graham - This is a sharp drop in class for LOOK TO THE WEST. This 132-rated mare has a third in a Grade 3 mares' novices' hurdle at Fairyhouse to call upon and was last seen finishing fifth in a Grade 1 mares' novices' hurdle in Fairyhouse at the end of March. This step up in trip shouldn't inconvenience her as a point-to-point winner. Gold In The Rivers absolutely sluiced up by 15 lengths in a maiden hurdle at Limerick which warrants automatic respect. Born Braver is going the right way after landing a Naas maiden hurdle while Gold Cup Bailly reverts back to hurdles and isn't without a chance.
By Michael Graham - MAGIC TRICKS reached a mark of 145 over hurdles so, if he takes to fences, would take a bit of beating. It looks a shrewd move to start his chasing career here as this is where he scooped a valuable handicap hurdle in November. Ottoman Style has the benefit of an opening fourth over fences at Fairyhouse in November. The form has been very well franked and he won over hurdles on his sole previous visit here. Fathom Two has shown a real aptitude for Downpatrick and is interesting making his chasing bow at another northern venue. Sportinthepark is a potential improver switching to fences while Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa is another to consider.
By Michael Graham - SWEET WILL goes to work off a lovely light weight with Conor Clarke's 7lb claim factored in. He has plenty of form over staying trips and signalled a return to better days when a close third in Tramore. Dorking Cock has the ability to win this race and has been freshened up since finishing fourth at Ayr in January. He runs this track particularly well. Ray Cody could get a tune from Shantou Show who showed form for previous handlers. It is hard to believe it is three years since Freewheelin Dylan won the Irish Grand National at 150/1. He is hard to put forward in his current form.
By Michael Graham - BALLYPHILIP is going great guns in winning his last four point-to-points for Caroline McCaldin. Noel McParlan has struck up a good association with the six-year-old gelding who looks the one to beat in this hunters chase. Bold Fury gets a hood and a tongue-strap after falling when clear in a Loughanmore point-to-point. He was second to Ballyphilip on penultimate start in Loughanmore, though. Big Girl Betty is a lightly-raced sort who got off the mark in a Tyrella point-to-point in January. There could be more to come from her, but she wouldn't want much rain. Victor Tango, well beaten by Ballyphilip in a Portrush point-to-point, has a place chance for Noel Kelly.
By Michael Graham - PARKGARVE catches the eye on paper as a half-brother to Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner Slade Steel. He starts out for an in-form stable. Kilwaughter is a nicely-bred horse with several multiple winners in his pedigree and the Crawford stable is capable of taking the wraps off one to win here. Gordon Elliott's Bowensonfire is a half-brother to a horse who won a bumper on debut for the stable at Clonmel. There are winners in Chanceawetmorning's pedigree and a market check is advisable while John Gleeson is a notable booking for Feeling Game Ball. Native Deal is a full brother to a winner on the Flat at Meydan while Tonaghneave Well and Polepatrick cannot be ruled out.
- FOREVER EIGHTEEN was a good third on his return at Newcastle, despite being beaten three lengths, and dropped back in trip with a prime draw in stall nine, he has to have a decent chance with Alex Jary's claim in the saddle a bonus. Anglesey Lad looks capable of mounting a strong challenge after finishing fourth on his first run in six months, while Lady Twilight is one to watch in the market ahead of her handicap debut for the Moores.
- Trainer Clive Cox has won two of the three runnings of this race and he has strong claims again with STAR ANTHEM. Beaten just a neck on his Newbury debut despite being carried right, he should be wiser now and could well make amends for that loss here. Siegen is possibly the best of the Richard Hannon pair with Pat Dobbs in the saddle and, as a son of Blue Point out of an Exceed and Excel mare, he is bred for speed. Red Sand could follow them home.
- Viewfromthestars was all out to win at Chelmsford last time and a 2lb rise may be enough to stop the son of Starspangledbanner from following up. He can go close along with the consistent Joy Choi, who has finished in the top three in each of her last five starts, but a chance is taken on WE'RE REUNITED. His two wins on turf were both here, one over this trip and both off higher marks, and he looks all set for another big run.
- Afloat recorded a double at Yarmouth when last seen in August and she makes her return to action off a 4lb higher mark, so she has to be considered. However, the vote goes to CIOTOG, who has been thereabouts in this grade the last twice and he can make the most of an unchanged mark after his close-up third at Wolverhampton last time. Midsummer Music is another to watch out for.
- Fleurir shed her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking at Pontefract in July last year and, if she has improved over the winter, then she could get involved on her handicap bow. However, preference is for RING OF LIGHT, who made his return from a layoff to finish fifth at Windsor in this grade and he remains on the same mark. He recorded an all-weather hat-trick before that and, with that run under his belt, he could be ready to strike. On The Cards is another to consider.
- AMERIGO VESPUCCI got off the mark with a narrow victory in a similar event at Yarmouth a couple of weeks ago and the three-year-old merits the utmost respect off just a 3lb higher mark. Bramble Jelly showed plenty of promise when third at Windsor a week ago and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Meet Me In Meraki and Clear Justice.
- Andromedas Kingdom clearly sets the standard having won over this course and distance eight days ago, but a 5lb penalty for that victory will make life tougher for her. With that in mind, preference is for MOON OVER THE SEA, who was a close second off this mark at Wolverhampton last time and is a proven winner over this track and trip. Others to consider are James Park Woods and Sao Timothy.
- LARCHILL LASS was beaten by less distance than she gave away at the start when second over this course and distance 11 days ago and, with that debut run likely to have taught her plenty, the Karl Burke-trained filly can go one better now. Call Me Harswell was third that day and has to enter calculations, while Stat Goddess (fourth) also reopposes and can do better.
- BRUMMELL was second to a reliable yardstick on the all-weather last month and, given that performance created the impression there is plenty for trainer Julie Camacho to work with, the son of Dandy Man appears a solid option off the same mark here. Willolarupi also ran well on his return to action on similar ground conditions at Catterick 12 days ago and is notable off 1lb lower. The betting can guide as far as seasonal debutants Mecca's Duchess and La La Lucrative are concerned.
- Kindest Nation won with a good deal in hand at Southwell in March and makes her turf/handicap debut from a competitive rating, so has to be high on the shortlist. However, PRINCESS ALEX kept on to score in an eye-catching manner at Haydock nine days ago and a 5lb higher mark could still underestimate this daughter of Dark Angel. Mysteryofthesands, who is a potential improver, completes the shortlist.
- ARDBRACCAN appeared to be revitalised by the combination of a 189-day layoff and a return to turf when scoring in ready fashion at Nottingham last month. A 6lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable for Mick Appleby's mare and she's taken to follow up. The biggest threat may emerge from the hat-trick seeking Do I Dream, who is sure to prove popular in her current heart, while fellow in-form rivals Hostelry and Willow Baby aren't easily discounted either.
- SWATCH justified strong support in the market when landing the spoils at Bath last week. The Time Test gelding should cope with this quick turnaround and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from completing a double. Doncaster runner-up Mister Sox was collared at the winning post on that occasion and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Ey Up Its Jazz, who should appreciate a return to this distance.
- SHE'S GOT BOTTLE went in by just under a length over a mile at Pontefract last week and she only has a 5lb penalty to carry, which is unlikely to be enough to prevent her from following up. The main threat might be Calcutta Dream, who was successful at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and is only 2lb higher, while Distinction competes off his last winning mark and is another to note.
- Patronage had Miss Galiway (seventh) behind when finishing a never-nearer fourth at Yarmouth on his latest outing and he is an interesting contender on his first attempt at this distance off 1lb lower. However, a chance can be taken on SPARTAN WARRIOR, who was well-held at Windsor last month but he was dropped 2lb for that effort and he now sports first-time cheekpieces. With Kevin Stott booked, he is worth another chance, while Pearl Sands could also get into contention in a weak contest.
- Mirabad and Ryan's Rocket both won last time out and may well have more to offer as they gain in experience, but they have to give 6lb to EXCELERO, whose form may turn out to be the best on offer. His fourth to Sir Gino at Cheltenham in January looks even better with the winner taking the Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree since, and he followed that with an easy success at Market Rasen which will have boosted his confidence.
- Isocrate has the form in the book having finished second on his last two starts, when beaten a head at Sandown and two lengths at Exeter over shorter. He looks all set for a big run over this trip, but may be outclassed by FASOL. Group class on the Flat in France, Paul Nicholls' gelding was fourth at Newbury over two miles on his hurdling debut but ought to be far happier upped in distance. Ideal Des Bordes is another who could get involved after his wind surgery.
- Killer Kane could surprise here with his two C&D wins, the last of which came in February 2023 off this mark, suggesting he is in with a chance. The nine-year-old can go well if he is back to his best, but on recent form QUICK DRAW might have the edge. Four times a winner over fences including last time out at Wincanton, Nicky Henderson's gelding remains on an upward curve. Our Jet is another to consider back in more realistic company after his seventh in a better race at Cheltenham.
- Although Art Of Diplomacy won with ease in selling company at Wetherby in March, the eight-year-old returns to handicap company off a stiff-looking mark. With that in mind, it could be worth sticking with last-time-out Ascot scorer REDBRIDGE RAMBLER. A 7lb higher rating for Martin Keighley's gelding looks far from insurmountable and a double could be on the cards. Market support for handicap debutant Foxinthebox, who is returning from a 714-day absence, would bring him into calculations too.
- EDITEUR DU GITE shouldn't be judged too harshly on his defeats in Grade 1 company at Cheltenham and Sandown this year, with this return to handicap company a huge positive. Moreover, the veteran clearly loves it at this venue, as evidenced by his Grade 2 Desert Orchid victories in 2022 and 2023. The Saddex gelding is taken to regain the winning thread, at the main expense of Calico, who lurks on an attractive mark, with recent C&D winner Onemorefortheroad completing the shortlist.
- TARAHUMARA comes with risks attached having stopped quickly and eventually pulling up at Exeter in November. However, Emma Lavelle's gelding created a deep impression when making all at Warwick earlier that month and he could be worth chancing given his fantastic record when fresh. Playtogetaway had fellow rival Inoui Machin (third) behind when runner-up at Hereford last month. The pair are both potential improvers on this rise in distance and they are viable alternatives to the selection.
- This is wide open and not too many can confidently be ruled out. However, CLARAROSE showed a bit more promise when second over 2m4f at Fakenham last month and looks worth chancing, given she is still learning her trade and runs off the same mark. Midnight Gold's Southwell success reads well in the context of this race and she rates the biggest threat to the selection off just 6lb higher. Grain Of Hope and After Many Days are just a couple of others to monitor in the betting.
- AVAKATE has shown stacks of promise in bumpers, both on these shores and in Ireland, and is introduced to hurdling at a very realistic level. The Alan King-trained gelding is readily suggested as the most notable contender, although there should be more to come from Dan Skelton stablemates Hot Fizzy Lizzy and Get Sky High, especially the former who showed ability at Stratford when last seen and can be fancied to take a step forward here.
- IRISH LULLABY, who reached a mark of 96 on the Flat in Ireland, is a highly-notable type now he has switched codes and, having shown distinct promise on his hurdles debut at Market Rasen in late March, the son of Nathaniel is a stand out selection in this company. Open to any amount of improvement, the five-year-old could have too much for this opposition. Idylle Sauvage is feared most, although Barra Blue can be fancied to show up well despite this being her hurdles debut.
- FISTON DE BECON scored in comfortable fashion to complete a double at Hereford last month and a 5lb rise for that victory looks lenient. With the Olly Murphy yard bang in form, he could prove very hard to beat, with his main threat possibly being Gitche Gumee, who sports first-time cheekpieces after his third at Doncaster off a 3lb higher mark in December. Of the remainder, Onewayortother makes the most appeal on his handicap/chase debut.
- God's Own Getaway did what was required of him in this grade when scoring at Southwell last time and he is likely to be on the premises once again off a 6lb higher rating. However, he could come out second best to TRAPISTA, who may have been worth more for his victory than the winning margin suggests over 2m at Hereford last month and an 8lb rise might not be enough to halt him. The seven-year-old should have no issues with this longer trip and he looks the one to beat. Last-time-out winner American Gerry completes the shortlist.
- Jeudidee has a 100 per cent record here after winning a bumper last year and, with two wins from four starts over hurdles, he could get involved in the finish. Davidoc took his maiden at Plumpton on his first start after wind surgery and looks reasonably treated off a mark of 108, but ISABELLA BEE could be worth another chance. Out-gunned at Listed level in December, the return to handicap company may see her get back to winning ways after two victories at Uttoxeter and one at Taunton last autumn.
- Trainer Kayley Woollacott won this race in 2021 and 2022 and it will be interesting to see if Caspers Court comes in for any market support. He has won four times off higher marks and cannot be discounted, but HE IS A CRACKER could be the one to side with despite his long absence. An easy winner over fences in September, he is better handicapped over hurdles and has gone well fresh before, which may be all he needs. Just Jess is another to consider for the in-form Sue Smith stable.
- The consistent Different Breed was a notably game winner on the all-weather when last seen. However, that success came over 7f and this is no easy task reverting to turf off a 2lb higher mark. With that in mind, CHARLIE MASON could be worth chancing after showing up well with a fourth-placed finish on his seasonal/stable debut at Bath last month. With the in-form Rossa Ryan back in the saddle, a breakthrough success on turf is feasible for the selection off 1lb lower here. Kiss And Run completes the shortlist.
- Haya was strongly supported on her seasonal return at Bath last month and appeals with her match-fitness topped up, while similar comments apply to Big Lou and Miletus, who both have scope for progression. Nevertheless, the vote goes to GILDED WATER, who showed good speed before becoming unbalanced on his debut at Newmarket 18 days ago and, sure to be wiser, this could be a good time to side with the William Haggas-trained gelding.
- With an appealing pedigree and two runs on the all-weather under his belt, VIBRATO is a logical choice as he debuts on turf at a winnable level. The son of No Nay Never was second to a progressive type at Southwell when last seen and another step forward could suffice here. Normandy Legend is an obvious threat after his Kempton second last month, while Galyx and A Major Payne are other appealing types now they have some experience to draw upon.
- Memories Maker was beaten seven lengths into second in this grade on his handicap bow last time and he should remain competitive off the same mark. However, COLLEGE CHOIR looks the way to go. William Haggas' representative put in her best performance when hitting the frame at Kempton in February and she now makes her handicap debut off a mark of 70. The daughter of Nathaniel is bred to be a lot better than her rating and she could be the one to beat. Free Speech completes the shortlist.
- STONE CIRCLE was far from disgraced when he finished third at Yarmouth last month and he goes off the same mark here, which could make Michael Bell's gelding tough to beat. Snuggle was victorious over C&D on his latest outing and would be foolish to dismiss off 4lb higher, while Tiriac isn't out of it either after his third at Leicester.
- THEWORLDSNOTENOUGH put her three underwhelming efforts in maiden company last year behind her when scoring by a short head over this track and trip last month. Tom Ward's filly could have more to offer on only her fifth career start and she may be the one to beat. Juan Solo wasn't beaten far into third at Kempton in January and he has to be considered off a 1lb lower mark on his return to turf, while Magnificent Match only found one too good when bidding for a Yarmouth double recently and holds an obvious chance.
- ON EDGE looks to have plenty in his favour here, with a high draw possibly advantageous and he made a promising seasonal debut when only beaten a neck here over a furlong further. He will need a career best to succeed off a 2lb higher mark, but still looks the form pick on recent effort. Bama Lama has won over 6f here twice, once off this mark, and the booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye, but Willingly may be a bigger danger to the selection after her recent Leicester third.
- A weak but competitive race that could see a bold effort from Daphne May, who has been out of sorts lately but she has won at this venue in the past and scored six times off higher marks. She can surprise a few but on recent form, DUBAI IMMO is more interesting. He ran on well to win an amateur jockeys' handicap at Chelmsford and has only been upped 5lb, which seems fair with improvement likely. High Court Judge and Dotties Star are others to consider in a wide-open contest.
- RIVER MARKET shed her maiden tag in pleasing style over a mile on the dirt on her latest outing and, with scope for further progression, she could be the one to beat again. Smile And Profile and Mastery Kat are just two others to consider.
- This represents a fair drop in grade for GOLDENSUNRISE and that can help him regain the winning thread. Ramathorn and Adios Nicanor could also get involved.
- LAW ABIDING had a few of these behind when scoring by a nose over a mile here last month and he can confirm that form to go in again. Kingmeister, who was third that day, and Mother's Prayer are also worthy of consideration.
- SATANTA beat Danzing Rebel (third) when denied by a short head over C&D last time and he can confirm his superiority over that rival to go one better. Idiot's Gold completes the shortlist.
- Righteous Freedom and Gianno both have a chance with their sights lowered, but EUCLID AVENUE looks the most solid option. He arrives following two decent placed efforts, including over slightly shorter here last time, and wouldn't need to improve much further to get off the mark.
- LONG SHOT LOUISE and Get Gussied Up appeal most, with the former suggested as the one to be with given she may be too wily at this stage. Special Girl is an interesting debutant to monitor in the betting.
- MO HAWK MAN should find this easier than some of his past assignments and could take some stopping in this company. Take Point is feared most, although Classy Shipman also has sold form claims.
- ROCK SOLID WORDS takes a significant drop in class and is fancied to make the most of what appears to be a good opportunity to strike. Ourquickdrawmcgraw and Handsome Harold are a couple of others to monitor closely in the betting.
- This is well within the reach of HOWARD'S GRIT, who had plenty in hand when winning a maiden claimer last month and is likely to be tough to overhaul with another step forward. Klimtomaniac and Briartown can chase the selection home.
- Fabled Ruler and Chief Cheetah are capable of bold efforts but JUST BATTLE takes a significant drop in class and can make the most of the opportunity at this level.
- LAULNE impressed when scoring in determined fashion over C&D last month and it would be no surprise if she were able to follow up here. Alluring and Rascality are also key players.
- STOP AND A TRES disappointed in a higher grade over C&D last month but he can returning to winning ways with his sights lowered. Soul Of Midnight and Ze'bul can also enter the reckoning.
- BIG SUMMER could take all the beating with her sights lowered on her return to action, while Llorona and Tiergarten are also respected.
- It is hard to look past OLD PAL, who scored cosily in a stronger race last-time-out and may prove to be too good for these rivals. Sea Singer and City Exile can also go well.
- It'sgoodtobeseen was a solid second last time out and is hard to ignore, but he may find both recent winners Midnight Mikey and COWTOWN BOSS too good for him here. The suggestion could get a free run at the head of affairs and he might prove difficult to pass.
- A possible lack of pace is the concern in this small field with both Fiona and Makes Sense To Me possibly better over further than 6f. That may leave the way clear for KRISTIN to follow up her Mahoning victory in October as the one best suited to sprinting.
- SPOOKY LITTLE GIRL drops in class for the first time since taking her maiden and that may be all she needs to win for a second time. Crystal M has a very similar profile and looks her biggest danger, which leaves Titebluejeans as the pick for third spot.
- R CARDINAL PRINCE has solid claims on his peak performances and shades preference over Lake Radio and Bobby G in a tight one to call.
- Frontliner and Rock On Kitten are a couple of likeable types for a contest of this nature. However, MONTAUK COVE, who has won two of his last three starts, could be difficult to overhaul if getting a smoother run through than when he was forced to race wide last time out.
- All of these have solid claims on peak form but MIZ KEETA is progressing at a rate of knots and the three-year-old could be a shade too precocious for the likes of Exactitude and Officially Yours to deal with at this stage.
- SHARP SHOT was quite taking when romping home in a maiden at Keeneland last month and a double could be on the cards. Timesatappin and Last Cookie may chase the selection home.
- A race-fit MOR CRAFTY, who finished a close-up second at Mahoning last month, may be able to thwart the returning Synergistic. Affair To Remember could fare best of the remainder.
- SAM SEZ nosed out Uptown Social when they were the first two home in a similar race here last month and it would come as no surprise to see them repeat the feat in the same order here. Westons Wildcat is another to consider.
- Cinco Steve is capable of going well and is one to monitor closely in the betting on his first run back after a break. However, RING BEARER appeals most based on recent form and is taken to hold the aces here. March West is the pick of the rest.
- Mysterious Tale can go well if transferring his Fonner Park form to this venue, while Twenty To Park and Slick Country Boy also do their bit to make this competitive. Nevertheless, STORM CATCHER was a ready winner over C&D last time out and a repeat does could suffice this time too.
- Several in with a chance, but it may be worth chancing the downgraded DETERMINED LOVER, who hasn't been disgraced in slightly stronger events. River Ransom and Night Vision top the list of threats.
- CAT TALE SKY clocked a strong speed-figure when runner-up over track and trip last time out and a similar performance may suffice. Last-time-out winner Endless Grace is feared most, ahead of Cams Hotrod.
- Recent 6f scorer Once Upon A Dream hasn't convinced over a mile in the past, which may allow last month's Oaklawn winner TWITTY CITY to follow up. United Patriot could also have a big say if performing to his best.
- HAY SCOOBY DOO was denied by half a length into second over track and trip last time and that looks the best form on offer. Storms Last and Red Dirt Rich also merit consideration.
- KALEO had a few of these behind him when scoring by a neck over C&D on his latest outing and he can follow up. Number One Dude (second) that day and the in-form Briggsey aren't out of it either.
- COIN PURSE must hold every chance if building upon a strong runner-up effort on debut at Remington Park. She can get the better of Aunt Kendra and Da Last Tequila.
