Form & Verdict
Irish challenger who won at Fairyhouse (6f, good) last September and may have needed last month's reappearance at Bellewstown (5f, heavy); however, his best form has come on good ground and he goes without headgear today; others have more pressing claims.

Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded.

Five-time winner best with a bit of cut in the ground; sole win last season came in a Listed heat at this venue (6f, yielding); may have needed his comeback at Cork and likes it here, but would probably like to see some rain.

Form & Verdict
Enjoyed a solid 2yo campaign prior to getting off the mark at the fifth attempt in a Brighton novice (6f, soft) last October, form that reads well; returns having been gelded, which could help unlock some of the potential in his top-class pedigree; firmly in calculations on handicap debut.

Debut winner when trained in Ireland (5f); no sign of controlling her headstrong tendencies but has still run well in three of her four handicaps (on soft/good; 5f/6f); returning to 5f looks the right move and can go well.

Poorly drawn and well beaten on seasonal reappearance here (6f) in April, but much more competitive when third at Carlisle (5f, good; 9-2) 16 days ago; bypassed an option at Catterick on Saturday (unsuitable ground) in favour of this; rain - three wins on soft - would aid his cause.

Promise in defeat last July on first two starts (6f, good to soft/good to firm); two lesser runs followed, including on nursery debut when last seen, but a break may have helped and Hollie Doyle is 5-22 (23%) when riding for Roger Fell; no surprise to see a bold show on reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Makes her stable and seasonal debut with new yard enjoying a productive spring and she's one to watch in the betting; however, she failed to progress after winning a maiden at Doncaster (6.5f, good) last June and it's hard to be confident in her claims; remains in same ownership.

Made all to win a Doncaster maiden (6.5f, good) for Hugo Palmer as a 2yo and a similar level of form in three turf handicaps for this yard since returning in June; needs a bit more but is closely related to a few AW winners so she could improve for the new surface.

Form & Verdict
Narrow win on debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) in January and again ran well when fifth under a penalty there (6f, AW) in February; improvement needed on handicap and turf debut but this very lightly raced gelding in good hands and is bred to be better than his opening mark; one to consider.
