- REUX (1) was a touch disappointing first time out but has always been well regarded by his connections and is worth another chance. MAKING WAVES (9) is from a yard that knows how to get horses ready and is definitely worth a check in the market. AMERICADREAM (7) is sure to improve with the benefit of a run and cannot be underestimated. MARVIN OF SUCCESS (3) was far from disgraced on debut at Chantilly and shall improve on that effort.
- A sound winner of a claimer at Fontainebleau last time out, KINGORI (4) is back in the handicap division with every chance. Main threat could come from SURPRIZE ME (1), who is now under a very competitive mark, and VALYRIAN STEEL (7) who comes in on the back of a sound success at this course. GAMECHANGER (9) must also be given some consideration.
- TARCENAY (7) has just shown recently that he remains very competitive at the age of nine and has generally been consistent this term. He is a solid winning proposition and can be retained ahead of FOLLOW YOU (6), whose last run is too bad to be true and LILOU CHOPE (8) who was probably ridden too aggressively last time out. STADE VELODROME (5) is another one that can be included in calculations.
- PALMAROLA (7) left a nice impression when she went off the mark on the fibersand at Marseille-Vivaux and can follow up with improvement likely. MAKE A WISH (6) takes a slight drop in class and could also fight for success. PEPETE (1) should come on from her comeback run. ARIGATO (4) boasts a sound record at the venue and is not without a chance.
- ALBINE (3) appears to be on a competitive mark after a good last effort on the all-weather and is a tentative choice in this tricky handicap. VIVE LA REINE (5) brings a lot of experience into the race and also looks a possible winner. MIRADERO (1) will be interesting to test at this level after his last start success. LE PHOCEA (2) can get into the picture if in the mood.
- Front runner AMEDRAS (1) finds here a good entry and can redeem himself after a slightly disappointing experience last time out. The very consistent MON BEL CANTO (5) is sure to give it a good go once again and looks a major threat to the selection. BAY D'ARGENT (6) is a nice horse but could just be in need of a run. AZOV (2) is a model of consistency and cannot be excluded of the equation.
- WUKHANN (2) is a better horse than is last start suggests and should be able to resume winning ways in a race of this caliber. PICNIC ROYAL (7) bounced back to winning form to land a small event at Nimes last time out and could follow up. DAMASK BLADE (3) is in great shape after his last success at La Teste and could also play a significant role. Watch out for MY LENNY (1) who could be the surprise package in this race.
- The consistent TERRE BLANCHE (3) ran a good race over shorter at the venue last time out and she is sure to benefit from the rise in distance. IL CAPO (5) is a useful horse who seems to be on a workable mark and could be a danger. SKIMBLESHANKS (1) was in good form of late on the all-weather and must be respected back on turf. ROSE D'ETE (2) is better than her last run suggests.
- BURGUNDY REGAL (5) has shown more than enough to take a race of this nature. He was a good second in a maiden two starts ago at Lyon Parilly over 1600m. His main threat could be LILY OFTHE KINGDON (3) who has solid form on the PSF and if emulating that on turf she can play a lead role. PARRHESIA (4) is also one that needs to be considered and can make her rivals work hard. MYSTERY TRAIN (6) makes up the shortlist.
- LAPOINTEDESPIEDS (8) put in a pleasing effort last time when fourth in a maiden at Nimes last month and is given the vote in this ahead of THIENE (5) who was a solid third three starts ago at Chantilly in a claimer in early March. VITESSE (2) is the one to go with from an each-way angle having scored last time at Fontainebleau in April. WAY TO MARBELLA (7) looks best of the remainder.
- PEBBLESSHINYBRIGHT (1) won last time at Le Croise-Laroche on April 20th and has every chance of scoring again today. LOST IN MUSIC (2) ran a pleading third last time and could make his rivals work hard for success. LIKING (6) has shown that he likes this track and was a decent third at this venue two starts ago in early April and can be involved at the business end.
- HAVOC (6) could be the answer to this claimer. He has been running well of late without a win but can make an impact in this type of race. PLAIN BEAU (3) faired well when third last time and could be the biggest danger to the selection. ST JAMES PARK (4) has the best form but has to overcome an absence of 10 months away from the track. If fit and anywhere near his best form he can win. BEL ARISTO (1) is also worth a mention.
- RUUDJE (6) is a previous course winner and ran well last time when fourth at Nimes in a Class 3 handicap. He can get the job done ahead of ESTCOURT (7) who can bounce back to form after a few unplaced efforts of late. The same can be said for LA YOMOGUINESS (10) who has a few below-par efforts of late but is capable of being on the premises. JARDIN BLEU (1) makes up the shortlist.
- MEHLANGO (1) has been shaping well without a win of late and looks like a key player in this handicap. CHANAZ (7) could be the main threat having run a good second at Chantilly in the race the selection was third in. Both old rivals can dominate the finish. MANOIR (10) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. MARKER (2) makes his handicap debut and can not be ruled out of the frame.
- TOUQUETOISE (2) scored at Auch last time in a Class 3 race by over two lengths and can follow up from that. COLT PILOT (7) has yet to win but has been running with credit of late. He can not be ruled out. TEA LEAF (1)has shown talent despite not troubling the judge in four runs so far. She can make the top three at nice odds. SHARQANA (5) is also one to keep safe and can be competitive.
- GLORIETTE SAN (1) won last time at Nantes over 2400m on April 18th and had solid placed form before that. She can make her presence felt. CLAY (3) has dropped in the weights after some unplaced runs of late and can make an impact. VENTOSILLA (4) looks like the one to side with from an each-way perspective. TREZY BOUNTY (2) is also one to consider and warrants respect.
- SAPRISTI (8) can score again after a win at Evreux last time in late April over 2500m. KATE DADDY (7) is the most likely main threat. She was a good third at Saint-Cloud last time and won three starts ago at Nancy back on March 24th. EURYTHMICAL (3) is one for the each-way backers to look at as she was a good second at this racecourse in mid-March. GARDE COTE (1) can make the frame despite having top weight.
- JEAN BALTHAZAR (10) boasts an impressive record on this course, winning once and finishing 2nd four times in five appearances. He filled the runners-up berth in a 2200m Group I at this venue last time and need only repeat the performance to take out this Group II contest. JANE AIMEE (5) would've benefitted from her encouraging return to this category last time and ought to pose a threat. JEEGHA PRIDE (7) finished 5th in a 2700m Group II won by the selection in her only appearance under the saddle, so could make her presence felt if improving for that experience. JUNON (6) and JUS DE FRUIT (4) complete the shortlist.
By Gary Carson - NEW THEORY ran a lovely race on her debut at Navan and can go one better now. She came to dispute inside the final furlong then before losing out by a length-and-a-half to Camille Pissarro in the finish. With that run under her belt she looks the one to beat. Sir Yoshi was also second on his debut, when losing out by half a length to Proudly Yours at Dundalk last month. He was a touch green then and is entitled to improve. The Joseph O'Brien-trained newcomer, Barton Key, is one to note in the market. He is a half-brother to decent handicapper Apache Outlaw.%0A
By Gary Carson - Better ground and a drop in trip should suit CHERRY BLOSSOM. The No Nay Never filly had some very strong juvenile form, finishing second in Group 2 company and a fine fourth in the Cheveley Park Stakes. She failed to make much impression over seven in heavy ground on her return at Leopardstown and it looks significant that connections revert to sprinting now. Navassa Island ran a solid race when fifth to Givemethebeatboys on her return at Navan just under two weeks ago and could be the danger now. Heart Of Darkness was value for a bit more than her winning margin in a Dundalk maiden last month and is a potential improver.
By Gary Carson - EMERALD BANNER had three good runner-up efforts last season and may be able to make a winning return here. The Starspangledbanner filly ran into some smart sorts, including subsequent Group 3 winner Prime Art, and looks the form choice off her mark of 86. Annie Edson Taylor was placed on both her starts last term and that form looks fairly solid. She looks like an obvious danger. Monasterboice already has a run under his belt, finishing a close third at the Curragh last month, and he also has to be on the shortlist while Grand City Hall is another with placed form that has to come into calculations.
By Gary Carson - JANOOBI may be able to defy a hike for his comeback win at Naas in March. The Night Of Thunder gelding overcame a serious injury to get back on the track then and ran out a very cosy winner. He was good value for the subsequent 10lb rise and is still an unexposed horse despite being five. Stag Night has been in good form this season and is just 2lb higher having lost out narrowly at Naas last time. He looks like an obvious danger. Tango Flare heads the weights and had a couple of nice runs in stakes company last season. He could make a bold bid despite carrying 10 stone.
By Gary Carson - SEA EAGLE ran a nice race on his first outing for Ger O'Leary at the Curragh last month and may be able to step forward now. He stayed on when a close fourth to Zephron then, over seven, and should appreciate stepping up again in trip. His sole win in England came on the all-weather so a better surface now may also help. Andalusian Star is unexposed on just her third career start and commands respect. She won a Dundalk maiden back in February and an initial mark of 76 here doesn't look harsh. May Night was also a winner last time, scoring over in Chelmsford in late March, and he also has to come into calculations.
By Gary Carson - PSALM may come forward a bit from his seasonal debut here a fortnight ago. He finished second to a useful looking type in Spoken Truth over course and distance and just couldn't match the winner late on then. With that run under his belt he should go close now. Bad Desire is rated 4lb superior by the handicapper and is another obvious contender. The Wootton Bassett colt finished third to Sharinay over a mile here on his return two weeks ago and may benefit from the step up in trip. Ozark Daze was second on the all-weather at Dundalk last month when sent to post a big price, and could get into the money again.
By Gary Carson - DECLAREE may be worth a shot here in an open looking maiden. She shaped with plenty of promise when third at Dundalk on her debut and should step forward from that initial effort. The Fastnet Rock filly disputed briefly inside the final furlong then and was only beaten just over a length-and-a-quarter by Higher Leaves. Harbour Gem sets the standard off a mark of 83. She hung to her left when seventh at Leopardstown last time and is capable of better than that showing. Lady Doris and Evening Blossom were second and third to Port Fairy at Dundalk last month and are others that have to come into the mix.
By Gary Carson - KILLEANEY BEAR was too freely over a mile-and-a-half here a fortnight ago and dropping back in trip now should suit. The Kodi Bear gelding disputed turning for home then but was headed under two furlongs out and eventually finished fourth. He has shown enough to land a race of this standard. La Juliana was a couple of places behind the selection then and could be a danger now. She had been narrowly denied over a mile on her final start of last season and is another who may be better at this trip. Hanoi didn't run too badly when fifth at Dundalk on his most recent start and is another to consider.
By Stuart Howden - BIG STAGE started off the year by running fifth behind subsequent Champion Bumper hero Jasmin De Vaux at Naas and has acquitted himself well over hurdles since, finishing third at Punchestown before occupying the runner-up berth at Cork and back at Naas. He probably won't need to raise his game in order to take this lesser event, although Nouvotic has kept good company and Kalanisi Flash has performed with credit at this venue before. Give jumping newcomer Remember'hesmine plenty of thought too.
By Stuart Howden - Kilbrin Rocco sprung a surprise here, on the same card that Son Of Hypnos struck over fences. The latter is 7lb lower than his revised chase mark, while Politicise is also 7lb below his rating in that sphere after just getting up over the bigger obstacles at Down Royal. C'EST QUELQU'UN is another out to capitalise on a comparatively lenient timber figure and although the wheels have come off since he shared the spoils here back in September, he is too well treated to ignore.
By Stuart Howden - Garde La Peche didn't look likely to ever repay the 170,000 pounds shelled out for her when down the field at Limerick over Christmas, but there was a lot more to like about her subsequent Naas third. GOING LIVE wasn't much cheaper, costing 150,000 pounds after winning between the flags at Lingstown. Gordon Elliott has given him some time to adjust to his new surroundings and that can pay dividends. Step Out will find this much easier than the Grade 2 bumper he contested at Aintree, and Gone For Tea shouldn't be far away either.
By Stuart Howden - Gordon Elliott and Danny Gilligan teamed up to win this race 12 months ago and that pair appear to have another big chance with DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE this time around. Although facing much better ground conditions than when opening her account on heavy at Limerick, she has run well on quick enough surfaces in the past and makes plenty of appeal on only her second handicap start. Whotookthebiscuit cuts back in trip after disappointing at Punchestown and it's worth noting that Rachael Blackmore rides her for the first time, while Redwood Queen and Magic Olinger are others to keep an eye on.
By Stuart Howden - O'Faolains Glory and Seasett both make their chasing debuts following solid placed efforts over timber and they must enter calculations, but ERIGMOOR's previous fencing experience might prove the difference. He wasn't devoid of promise during his time with Stuart Edmunds in England and there was much to like about his opening effort for the Gordon Elliott stable when third at Tramore last month. Any improvement would make him tough to beat, while Flashthelights' latest third over hurdles here gives him a squeak.
By Stuart Howden - Lady Kate showed a likeable attitude when scoring over an extended 2m7f at Tipperary last month and she should make a bold bid to follow up despite a 6lb rise. That said, TANGENTAL was an early faller when sent off a warm order in the aforementioned Tipperary contest and, providing he brushes up in the jumping department this time around, a big run could be on the cards. Faith Loving sports cheekpieces for the first time and an improved display would come as no surprise.%0A%0A
By Stuart Howden - Point-to-point winner OCEAN BREW made a pleasing start when finishing runner-up on her Rules debut at Cork last month, and she gets the vote to go one place better with that experience under her belt. Ellen Kelly is making her debut for the all-conquering Willie Mullins stable and the Westerner mare out of an unraced daughter of Authorized commands attention. Sansrisk has plenty of experience and was third to the progressive Familiar Dreams at Naas, while others for the shortlist include Wild Mandate and Katie's Casper.
- A highly progressive colt last season, with valuable successes at York and Redcar, DRAGON LEADER appeals as just the type to progress over further at three. The son of El Kabeir is top-weight for good reason and he could have too much class for Accumulate, who arrives on a hat-trick after supplementing a breakthrough Newmarket triumph when upped to 1m at Lingfield in November. Arctic Thunder ran with plenty of credit when less than three lengths behind subsequent 2000 Guineas hero Notable Speech at Kempton most recently and he is another to consider.
- MISS RASCAL caught the eye on her introduction at Newmarket when carried left at the start before staying on well late in the piece for sixth. With normal improvement expected, she looks well capable of breaking the maiden ahead of Naana's Diamond, who ran an excellent race first time out when second at Thirsk. Dolce Vitta is an interesting newcomer, while the Clive Cox stable has been going well of late and his debutant Miss Show Down is also worth a second look.
- Fresh off a notable success in the 1000 Guineas last Sunday, Roger Varian could have another smart filly on his hands in the shape of expensive newcomer QUEEN OF SOLDIERS. Her Listed-winning dam struck first time out and she is narrowly preferred to Pure Of Heart, who shaped with plenty of promise when fourth on her introduction over a mile at Sandown back in September. A well-bred daughter of Galileo, Queens Fort is one to monitor for market support as she makes her debut for strong connections.
- Dream Composer finished a close-up third in a class 2 event at Goodwood last week and he goes off an unchanged mark, so he would be foolish to dismiss. However, preference is for BILLYJOH, who was only denied by a neck in second at Southwell and the four-year-old is able to compete off the same rating, despite being bumped up 3lb since. Grand Traverse and Russet Gold are just two others to consider.
- Mashadi ran well for fifth in a class 2 event at Newmarket and he will appreciate this drop in grade off 1lb lower. However, he might come out second best to JIMMY SPEAKING, who made a victorious return to action when going in by just over two lengths at Chelmsford. Chris Dwyer's three-year-old could have plenty more to offer now that he has got his head in front, and he can go in again. Imperial Guard and Western aren't out of it either.
- TERAABB did well to open his account from the rear at Newbury last month and there should be more to come. A 3lb higher rating for Charlie Fellowes' inmate looks workable, with this step up from 7f expected to unlock further potential. The biggest threat may emerge from the hat-trick seeking Suspicion, who tries turf for the first time and makes his handicap bow off what appears a fair mark. Boyfriend signed off his juvenile campaign with a Newbury victory and could have more to offer this term.
- A 264-day layoff proved no barrier to success as BAILEYS KHELSTAR made light work of his opposition at Southwell in late April. The Cloth Of Stars gelding is effectively 4lb well-in under a 5lb penalty and a double could beckon. Hedonista capped off last season with a victory over this trip at Kempton and Ed Walker's filly may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Clansman, who arrives in good heart.
- The hat-trick seeking Liamarty Dreams (fifth) commands respect from a handy draw but looks a shade vulnerable off his highest mark yet, so may be worth taking on. Both Master Zoffany (winner) and PERCY'S LAD (second) had wide berths when they finished ahead of Liamarty Dreams over this C&D last September and the latter looks worth chancing after an encouraging second at this level on his seasonal debut at Newmarket.
- Unraced as a juvenile, Ballydoyle representative EPHESUS wasn't far behind a better fancied stablemate on his debut over an extended 1m2f at Dundalk last month and, given he was doing his best work at the finish, there is good reason to expect the son of Galileo to improve for this sterner test of stamina. Mr Hampstead rates the chief threat, with Mina Rashid considered the pick of the rest.
- BOLSTER impressed when he made a winning return at Pontefract last month and a 5lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent him following up on just his second start for Karl Burke. This is a deeper race, though, and several others have chances. Killybegs Warrior had the selection back in 10th when he won at Newmarket last July and is expected to go well, while City Streak and Box To Box can also make this tough for the selection.
- Hans Andersen was on target over 1m4f at Dundalk last month and he must be respected for a trainer who has won two of the previous three renewals, but it is ISRAR who shades preference. The son of Muhaarar travelled smoothly into contention in the Gordon Richards at Sandown a fortnight ago before fading into third late on, but perhaps he will be able to sustain that finishing effort now back on a sounder surface. Passenger must also feature prominently in calculations.
- A typically wide-open renewal and just a tentative vote can go to TOO FRIENDLY. James Owen's gelding, a five-time winner over hurdles, won over 2m at Kempton in March and has few miles on the clock in this sphere, so a 4lb raised mark could underestimate the son of Camelot. Magellan Strait (winner) and Falcon Eight (second), who landed this in 2021, are closely matched on their meeting in last year's Irish Cesarewitch and both must enter calculations, along with The Shunter, who claimed the English equivalent in October.
- PRINCE ALEX, who was fancied for the highlight itself, can gain some compensation for missing the Chester Cup cut. Dominic Ffrench Davis' seven-year-old proved his stamina for two miles once and for all when winning with plenty up his sleeve at Newbury and a 3lb penalty shouldn't be a hindrance. Ian Williams is mob-handed in his attempt to follow up last year's victory, with 2023 Cup fourth Law Of The Sea possibly the pick. It's Good To Laugh, third in this 12 months ago, and Tony Martin's pair Hamsiyann and Alphonse Le Grande are just two more to consider.
- Tribal Wisdom has been in fine form on the all-weather, but hasn't managed to get his head in front on turf yet so is passed over in favour of ORDER OF MALTA. The son of Lope De Vega acquitted himself quite well after breaking through at Nottingham last summer but the handicapper continues to loosen his grip and, given his connections, it's likely he will be ready to roll for this. Golspie warrants attention on his first start for a new stable, while Chillhi has gone well here before.
- GISELLES DEFENCE made amends for a near-miss on his UK debut when justifying favouritism with the minimum of fuss at Pontefract last week. As long as those two runs in relatively quick succession haven't taken a toll, he can follow up under a penalty that leaves him 3lb well-in. Turner Girl, Polar Princess and Destinado also arrive in winning form, while Alan King has taken this prize for the past two years so Whispering Royal has to be given consideration.
- CHICAGO GAL bounced back to form when filling second place over 2m at Wetherby last time and the five-year-old merits the utmost respect off a 1lb higher mark here. Mount Ferns has improved with each start in novice/maiden company and should not be discounted on his handicap debut, while Record Art and Lenebane are others who make the shortlist in an open event.
- CAN'T RESIST IT showed plenty of promise when third on his hurdling/stable debut over 2m at Huntingdon earlier in the year and it would be no surprise to see him get off the mark in this moderate event. Ittack Blue has yet to live up to his 310,000gns price tag but Dan Skelton's gelding remains the main threat to the selection. Inca displayed some ability between the flags and is next best.
- Soft ground appeared to be against TITANIUM BULLET at Catterick and he is best judged on his close fourth there the time before. A reproduction of that level of form here could see the six-year-old come in front off a 2lb lower mark. Friary Rock is another to consider, despite an underwhelming Musselburgh effort when last seen. Okavango Delta and Our Bill's Aunt complete the shortlist.
- Four-time course winner (including this race 12 months ago) Giovanni Change loves it around here and must enter calculations on his first outing since Boxing Day, while For Gina and Porter In The Park are others to note. However, victories at Ludlow and Hereford last month show LEGIONAR to be arriving at the top of his game and he looks capable of defying a further 4lb rise in the ratings.
- BETTY BALOO is arguably the most consistent of these and has every chance of following up last year's success, despite racing off a 5lb higher mark. She chased home a subsequent winner on her only outing since, over hurdles at this venue, and the 336-day layoff isn't too much of a concern as she tends to run well fresh. Cerendipity looks an obvious danger following his Bangor triumph, while Risk And Roll's latest Ascot effort gives him a squeak.
- MR HOPE STREET burst into life when opening his account over C&D last month and a 6lb higher mark is unlikely to be the ceiling of his ability. The Dan Skelton-trained six-year-old should prove hard to beat in his bid to follow up. Handicap debutant Get A Superstar is a potential improver on this rise in distance and could chase the selection home, ahead of the returning Warner's Cross.
- The application of first-time cheekpieces helped She's A Rocca get her head back in front by the narrowest of margins at Southwell in October. She must enter calculations off only 3lb higher, but IRON HEART may offer more value. The Bowens' seven-year-old should relish quicker ground conditions and he's been far from disgraced in his last two defeats. Fox's Socks and Pollypockett also look capable of featuring at this level.
- ALENTEJO was too keen for his own good when finishing last of six in a warm Newbury maiden on his debut last season, but stepping marginally up in trip with that outing under his belt, it would be no surprise if the son of Waldgeist was able to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Redhot Whisper hasn't kicked on as expected after finishing an excellent second over a mile at Doncaster on his second start last September but, with cheekpieces enlisted, he may get back on track. Condor Pasa has the ability to feature prominently in a race of this nature and warrants respect for his in-form stable.
- LUNARIO displayed a likeable attitude when scoring in first-time blinkers (retained) over a mile at Yarmouth last month and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent Alice Haynes' charge from bringing up the double. Prefer The Sister is racing off what looks a workable opening mark on her handicap debut and she may emerge as the main danger to the selection, while The Spotlight Kid arrives on the back of an admirable placed effort over C&D and merits a second look off 1lb lower.
- 300,000-euro purchase PADESHA kept on into fourth after becoming outpaced in a Newmarket maiden over a mile last month and, stepping up in trip, he edges preference for his in-form stable. Dramatic Star made a pleasing start when third behind two potentially useful types over 1m2f at Windsor and the son of Sea The Stars looks to be the main danger to the selection. Inner Peace found only one rival too good over 1m2f at Yarmouth on his debut recently and is another to consider in what should be an informative contest.
- Pink Lily wasn't beaten far into third in a class 6 event at Chelmsford last month and should remain competitive off the same rating, but she could find it tough to deny FOUGERE. Dean Ivory's filly filled the runner-up berth at Leicester on her latest outing and she looks ready to strike for the first time. Clear Storm has to be taken seriously on her handicap bow and will need monitoring in the betting market.
- Twilight Fun just did enough to record a second career success at Yarmouth last time and it would be no surprise to see him feature off 3lb higher. However, the vote goes to HARRY'S HALO, who has been thereabouts the last twice in this grade, including when third at Haydock latest, and the handicapper may have been kind to leave his mark alone. Kevin Frost's four-year-old looks the way to go, while Chelmsford winner Agostino also has an obvious chance.
- Spanish Angel was victorious by just over two lengths in this grade at Wolverhampton recently, but he isn't as effective on turf. With that in mind, SHOWALONG gets the vote. Tim Easterby's six-year-old has taken the silver medal on each of his last two outings and he can make amends in first-time blinkers. Mehmo did it nicely over track and trip last time and is another to keep an eye on.
- The Adrian Keatley stable is in excellent form at present and DO IT NOW sets the standard on the back of some promising efforts in defeat at Kempton and Musselburgh. The booking of Paul Mulrennan is a plus and he gets the vote ahead of newcomer Combat Soldier, a half-brother to Desert Dreamer, who was a high-class juvenile three years ago. Fellow debutant Triple Charged and Kallippos are others to consider.
- MATTICE, who signed off 2023 with a Beverley victory, is slightly unlucky not to be arriving on a hat-trick following a narrow defeat there on his comeback and a 3lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to notch up a fourth career success. An impressive winner at Pontefract last week, Princess Karine can give him plenty to think about, along with Dark Kestrel, who went close at Newcastle on his latest start. Others to note include Leodis Dream, Paddy's Day and Spring Is Sprung.
- NEY has been so consistent since joining Danny Brooke and arrives on the back of a taking success over 1m6f at Catterick. There should be plenty more to come from the six-year-old, despite his penalty, and he can uphold form with Tarbat Ness (fourth), who has just over four lengths to make up but is 5lb better off at the weights. Lady Bracken and Michael's Pledge are capable on their day and are likely to have a say in proceedings as well.
- FORTAMOUR is officially 2lb well-in having landed a similar C&D event on heavy ground last month. Ben Haslam's eight-year-old, who took this prize two years ago, remains well treated judged on past exploits and with little concerns regarding quicker conditions, he can repeat the dose. Trilby has notched up two successes from his last three starts and must enter the reckoning, despite a 6lb rise for a Haydock triumph. Others to note include Westmorian and Another Baar, who won over track and trip on his reappearance last year.
- A chance can be taken on BALLSBRIDGE, who made little impact on his handicap debut over the extended mile at Wolverhampton in January. However, the switch to turf ought to suit, while his top-class dam stayed this trip well when a close-up fourth in the French Oaks. Bearwith might have bumped into a well-handicapped rival when filling the runner-up spot at Pontefract and he is respected from an unchanged mark. Contrast and Berry Edge are just two others to consider.
- ON THE BUBBLE must shoulder a 6lb penalty having cruised to victory at Redcar last week. Andrew Breslin negates half of that burden with his 3lb claim, though, and the unexposed daughter of Land Force can follow up. Emu War chased home a rapidly improving opponent at Hamilton and could improve for the addition of first-time cheekpieces. Blufferonthebus, who won over 6f at Pontefract recently, could also have a say now upped to the mile.
- CAMARRATE has improved with each start over hurdles thus far, showing a likeable attitude when battling to success at Fakenham last time. If able to take another step in the right direction, he could follow up under a penalty. Oscar Doodle posted a solid third-placed effort on his hurdling debut over C&D in February and has twice run well on the level at Newcastle since. He must enter calculations, while course bumper winner Vanilla Dancer and the returning Byron Hill are other names to note.
- Not many of these arrive in good form, but that can't be said of SIX ONE NINE, who has won three of his last four outings. The nine-year-old is versatile in terms of both trip and ground and he won well enough over 2m4f at Newcastle last time to suggest that he can defy a 4lb rise in the ratings. Tropical Talent took a step forward at Warwick and may improve again for the fitting of a tongue-tie, while past C&D scorer Blue Bear cannot be ruled out either.
- MRS TABITHA left her three previous hurdling performances well behind when scoring comfortably on her handicap debut at Ludlow, justifying strong market support in the process. A 7lb rise for that success is fair and she looks like the one they all have to beat. Cailin Dearg edged out a subsequent winner over C&D in February and must be respected, as must the dropped-in-class Spot On Soph. Handicap newcomers Miss Arabella and Barrons Land are also worth a second look.
- Having finished a respectable second on his stable bow at Hexham last month, GANDHI MAKER ticks plenty of the right boxes. Philip Kirby's charge returns to the scene of his last victory and this greater emphasis on stamina could see him regain the winning thread. Although Ladronne arrives in good heart, this drop in distance may count against the veteran and a bigger threat may emerge from C&D scorer Hauraki Gulf.
- BOYNESIDE lost little in defeat when finding only the progressive Plaisir Des Flos (now rated 29lb higher) too strong over 2m4f here in March. Racing off the same mark, a breakthrough victory could await the five-year-old, with this drop in distance expected to suit. For Three ended his 2023 campaign with a respectable fourth at Newcastle and Sam England's gelding may put up the most resistance to the selection, ahead of La Quarite.
- COPPER FOX was not disgraced when a close fourth over 2m3f at Huntingdon a couple of weeks ago and the application of first-time cheekpieces may bring about the required improvement to score here. Lucky Lover Boy showed more promise on his most recent outing and should not be discounted, while Hide Out and Iolani are others who could make the frame.
- SAXON STAR disappointed at Kempton in March but Brian Ellison's filly was narrowly denied when third on her racecourse bow at Musselburgh the previous month. With that in mind, the four-year-old can be given another chance in this company. Leader Wing and Wiltshire Wonder are entitled to improve for their debuts and should not be discounted, while any market support for Masterkey would have to be noted.
- BULL'S LEGACY went in by over a length over 7f here on her latest outing and she can complete the hat-trick. Lucky Bop and Jumpin Jack Brass are others to keep an eye on.
- This represents a fair drop in grade for HARDLY EVER BETTER, which can help him regain the winning thread. Charitable Windsor and King Of Luck can give him the most to worry about.
- PETTY PERFECT took a step forward from her debut effort to be denied by two lengths into third over an extended 6f here and, with further improvement, she looks the one to beat. Aim's Redirect and newcomer K's Lanee aren't out of it either.
- MISS LAUREN has appeared revitalised of late and looks worth another chance. Victory Royale is an old rival of the selection who can be expected to be thereabouts if this goes true to form, while Windsor's Play is also taken seriously.
- This is wide open and the likes of Ride The Brand, Kaylee's Spitfire and Dorado all warrant close inspection. However, JUDGEMENT DAY rates a precocious talent and is hard to overlook in his bid to make it 3-3 in his career so far.
- DELIGHTFUL BREEZE has won three of her last four starts and is again likely to take some stopping. Little Bit Of That is another at the top of her game, while Shinelikeadiamond is a must for the shortlist as well.
- Last-time-out winners Jayjaydee, Gun Collector and QUALIFLY all arrive at the top of their game, with the latter edging the vote in receipt of 2lb from those respected rivals.
- LOST WEEKEND posted a close-up second over track and trip last month and any improvement for that stable bow should make him tough to beat. Here Comes Rusty and Rebel Warrior are other key contenders.
- WELAKA hosed up at Keeneland on his latest outing and he could take this step up in class in his stride. Harold's Cloud and Laughinalltheway can give him most to do.
- JOHNY'S FIREBALL was flying too high in a Grade 2 event at Fair Grounds last time but he holds leading claims in these calmer waters. Fort Washington is feared most, ahead of Evan Harlan.
- Several likely improvers in this tricky heat, with a tentative vote going to WINDY WALK, who posted a strong speed-figure when opening her account at Keeneland last month. Mila Junes and Queen's Notice are viable alternatives.
- It may pay to persevere with last month's Oaklawn third EQUATE, who rates the most solid proposition. Brother Rice and Thanks Frank are feared most now dropping in grade.
- CITIZEN JUDY offered plenty of encouragement on her debut second at Keeneland last month and she should take all the beating here. Maclean's Lullaby and Tiffany are the most intriguing newcomers and market support for either must be heeded.
- SOARING BIRD has posted two creditable efforts in defeat at Sam Houston this year and compensation could await on his return to this venue. Figureti and Into The Sunrise are also noted.
- XTRA EXTRAORDINARY showed improvement on her third career start to hit the frame at Keeneland over 7f last month and, with further progress likely, she looks the one to beat. Sharper Gal and newcomer No Map Needed are others to keep an eye on.
- JUAN VALDEZ was touched off by the smallest of margins here in March and he looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark. Fort Thomas and Phreddie Mac could also get involved.
- CANDY FOR CARMEL had All West a place behind when finishing second over an extended mile at Keeneland last time and he can confirm that form to go one better. Improbable Story completes the shortlist.
- MIDNIGHT RAID has been in excellent form of late and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards for the five-year-old. He can get the better of Hurry Hurry and Kissalot.
- An easy winner at Turf Paradise last time, WHISKEY DECISION should have plenty more to come as she goes up in trip. Others to note include Fancy Looker, Grecian Goddess and Smiling Ellie.
- PURE PANIC had Lunar Module (second) behind when scoring at Keeneland last time and he can uphold that form en route to following up. Court Snort and Tilted Towers cannot be ruled out either.
- DIVINE PASSAGE has been knocking on the door of late and has been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Others to note are Southern Blessing and Susie Cru.
- LILA AT THE BEACH could be hard to beat at this level, although Matchless and Roses R Blue may give her plenty to think about.
- El Maga and Big Bad Bert merit consideration but marginal preference is for FAR OVER LOADED, based on some encouraging recent workouts.
- This is a significant drop in class for MR BIG BUCKS and he's fully expected to capitalise in this modest company. Good Focus and Drumadoon are a couple of others to consider.
- SANGER STYLE is open to any amount of improvement and is the most intriguing of this bunch. Bronze Girl and Lisa's Angel are a couple of others to note.
- RAISEDAROOFCHARLIE is readily forwarded as the one to be with here. Box N Ben is feared most on form, although Sincerito has scope to improve.
- The betting may tell us more, with JOB'S NOT FINISHED suggested as the first one to consider. Hot Dance and Glamorous are potential improvers.
- HAPPY CAT has a lot going for him and, having won two of his four previous starts, it would be no surprise to see the son of Kitten's Joy further boost his progressive profile. Master Of None is feared most, with Toast To Coast another to bear in mind.
- IN THE DANCE was denied narrowly over an extended mile at Laurel Park last time and he could make his first start at this track a successful one. Rainy Skies and Minxzluckystarfyre are others to keep an eye on.
- LUSTY hit the back of the net at the second time of asking and now that she has got her head in front, she could be one to follow. Feelin So Lucky and Major Houlihan are the dangers.
- BRZINA was a deserved winner over 7f at Laurel and with that confidence booster under her belt, she might be able to complete the double. Kingdom Queen and Haleigh B are others to note.
- DESTINATION faces her easiest task to date, and won't mind cutting back in trip either, so she gets the vote. K Kake Pop and Chalice can also figure prominently.
- CUT FROM CLASS was firmly in control when scoring by a yawning margin over 7f last month, and it would be no surprise if she were to bring up the double. Golden Charm and Midsummers Eve are respected too.
- This represents a significant ease in grade for OREO ANGEL, and that might be enough to see her return to winning ways. Catch The Kitten and Next Girl can also go well.
- NATIONAL GENERAUX bounced back to form when landing the spoils over track and trip last month and another bold bid looks assured. Tom And Jazzy and Bee Catcher top the list of threats.
- The market is sure to prove informative for these debutants, with a tentative vote going to $100,000 newcomer SO THERE SHE WAS, who makes plenty of appeal judged on pedigree. Night Beacon and Angel From Above are also noted.
- It's hard to look beyond TEMBO, who arrives on the back of a close-up second over C&D in March. Granada Flavor is feared most, ahead of Flint Stroll.
- PINK ACE was well beaten into sixth in stakes company over a mile at Del Mar last time, but this looks a much easier assignment. Chevy Girl and Blonde Bombshell could also have a say.
- MIDNIGHT LOVE went in by a neck over track and trip in February and he looks difficult to oppose against this level of opposition. Winning Big and Outgunned can give him the most work to do.
- PERFECT IN GRAY made a real impression when going in by just under eight lengths on her debut over an extended 5f here in March and, with any amount of improvement to come, she looks the one to beat. Yellow Sun Dress and Ang N Ash can follow her home.
