By Michael Graham - There are plenty of winners in Babyburn's pedigree, including the classy Ballyburn, and she is highly likely to improve upon a remote ninth on debut in a Fairyhouse bumper. The 108-rated FLY AWAY HOME could get her turn, though. A patient race was ridden on her in Navan and she kept on nicely in second without threatening the winner. Trip and ground should be ideal for her. Louie's Folly is up in trip after a promising runner-up berth in a fillies' maiden hurdle over 2m at this track, and she is a contender. Kisuton Enki has been off a long time since being found lame after being unplaced on debut at Punchestown and should be given a market check.
By Michael Graham - The 130-rated KING'S BUCKS sets the standard. He was pulled up on his latest start, but that was in a Grade 1 at the Cheltenham Festival and it is well worth noting that he was placed in a Grade 2 novices' hurdle at Cheltenham in November. He is a former winner of a soft-ground point-to-point. He Can't Dance has been placed in his last six hurdle races including in a valuable handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival, so wouldn't be winning out of turn. The market ought to be revealing about Casual Water, who makes his debut for Willie Mullins, as he is a half-brother to the former top-class chaser Altior.
By Michael Graham - HARDY STUFF ought to appreciate these calmer waters after finishing unplaced in two deep contests at Cheltenham. It was just three runs back that he delivered at Leopardstown which opened up routes to Prestbury Park. Sense Of Occasion has displayed ability in his maiden hurdles and could have a say, while Something Noble has taken to jumping in winning two of his three races and Eoghan Finegan takes a handy 7lb off his back. Arctic Flame was in rude health last year, but faced a stiff task on her comeback run at the Dublin Racing Festival in February so she may be best watched off another break, while Shellrunforbriggs isn't out of contention.
By Gary Carson - HOUNDSWORTH may be able to defy a 10lb hike for his cosy success at Cork 10 days ago. The Kameko gelding went to post a 40/1 shot then but overcame a mistake at the last to record a comprehensive six-length win. He remains very unexposed and can go in again. This doesn’t look like the hottest contest. Wild Wild Wind has been knocking on the door and could prove a danger. The Jet Away mare was has been placed three times and was a solid fourth at Clonmel on her last outing. The Dancen Kid made a lot of the running when sixth at Wexford last time and is another that has to come into calculations.
By Gary Carson - LET HIM B might be able to follow up despite an 11lb hike for his win in Down Royal last month. The Casamento gelding was value for a bit more than his winning margin then, when beating Dolly Watkins by three-parts-of-a-length. The runner-up gave that form a boost by winning in good style at this venue late last month. Potters Pal benefitted from some drama two from home at Clonmel last time. He was a good winner in the end but 8lb more makes life a bit tougher. Poppycon showed improvement when runner-up at Wexford last month and is another for the shortlist.
By Gary Carson - A step up in trip now could suit ORLANDO SPIRIT after he plugged on to finish third at Cork last time. The French-bred gelding finished off well when narrowly denied at Thurles on his penultimate start and was also doing his best work late on last time after the front two skipped clear of the field. Mickey Hulie has also been placed on his last two outings and he drops in trip now. With cheekpieces tried for the first time he could be a danger. Rebel Cowgirl got an 8lb rise for her success at Punchestown last time and has to be respected. She beat Poets Oath then, who went on to win the Cork race in which the selection was third.
By Gary Carson - SPARKLING WIT is a fascinating newcomer here. The five-year-old is a full-brother to Gold Cup winner Gaelic Warrior. He is sure to know his job first time up and Willie Mullins has landed the last couple of runnings of this bumper. Muckanagh Lough is probably the pick of those with form. The Elusive Pimpernel gelding chased home a smart looking sort in Barnahash Mason in a Leopardstown bumper over Christmas. He makes his first start now for Pat Foley. Too Hot To Trot, narrowly defeated on his sole outing in a point-to-point, is another to note on his first outing for Henry de Bromhead.
- Jullou De Grissay is entitled to build on last month's stable bow at Wincanton and isn't one to underestimate debuting over fences, especially given his success between the flags. However, MAXIMUM OFFERS looks the most solid proposition after shaping better than the beaten distance suggests when finishing third at Wincanton in January. Moonlit Potter continues to slide down the ratings and shouldn't be far away.
- Having posted his best effort to date when runner-up on his handicap bow at Ffos Las last month, compensation could be on the horizon for MAESTRO DU MESNIL. The four-year-old has room for improvement in the jumping department and a 1lb ease in the ratings may prove lenient. Churchman has been knocking on the door of late and it shouldn't be long until the bells start ringing, while Brave Move is heading in the right direction after hitting the frame at Taunton in December.
- It could be worth chancing the returning FIDENDUM. The son of Passing Glance found only recent Aintree winner Wellington Arch too strong at Market Rasen 408 days ago and a similar performance may suffice. Crystal Days and Gallant Lion are others of interest, with the former feared most as she performed well at Catterick two starts ago and drops in class following her latest Kelso no-show.
- The hat-trick seeking SHERBORNE appears to have turned a corner of late and he's difficult to oppose in his current mood. Joe Tizzard's inmate arrives on the back of a 24-length romp at Ascot and an 8lb higher might doesn't appear excessive. Black Hawk Eagle made the most of a small-field affair over 2m at Chepstow last month, but he is far from certain to stay this longer distance. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from Coastguard Station, who is only 2lb above his Market Rasen triumph in September.
- I'M A STARMAN is one of two course winners in this race and he makes plenty of appeal on his return to action. Callum Pritchard keeps the ride claiming a valuable 3lb and it was a really encouraging performance at Warwick when he signed off his 2025 campaign with a close-up fourth. He can get the better of Court In A Storm and Gold For Alec.
- WILD GOOSE won impressively at Ludlow in December and put a lacklustre Kempton effort behind him when finishing a solid second there last time. He's in good enough nick to expect another bold showing here, with the unexposed Diyaken the main danger following his latest third behind the selection in that aforementioned Kempton race. Red Rubio is noted as well.
- OYKEL BRIDGE should be up to winning a race like this. He's posted two solid efforts so far finishing third at Warwick and Haydock and, with Thomas Bellamy taking over in the plate, this could be the time to catch him. My Mate Aj boasts a similar profile and should be bang there for a top yard, while Hercules Honour is a newcomer to note.
- A competitive affair to get the action underway ahead of an excellent day's racing at racing headquarters, and only a tentative vote can go to FIRST LEGION. The son of Mehmas was highly tried after making a winning debut at York and although that didn't go to plan, his sole nursery effort to date is where the interest stems from. Beaten less than two lengths into seventh on the Knavesmire, despite not getting the best of runs, he looks well worth chancing given that he's now 2lb lower. C&D novice winner Treanmor merits respect following a couple of fair efforts out in Dubai, as does stable companion Silent Applause. Sovereign Spell belatedly opened his account at Wolverhampton last month and can show the benefits of that recent spin, and don't rule out Pilu at a big price, because his yard have made a bright start to the new campaign.
- The Gosdens boast a strong hand with their duo Portcullis and Santushti. The former, by the mighty Frankel out of French Guineas winner Castle Lady, is perhaps the yard's leading hope but this looks a deep renewal on paper and perhaps Andrew Balding can replicate last year's heroics with NORTH BEACH. The New Bay colt fetched 390,000 euros as a yearling and has a pedigree mixed with speed and stamina. That speed could be crucial in these early-season contests so it would come as no surprise were he to go close. Crown Knott is another key player for his leading connections and spare a thought for Jane Chapple-Hyam's Bemersyde too.
- A 222-day absence should be no concern for backers of TIME FOR SANDALS given the way in which trainer Harry Eustace has kicked off the new season. Last year's Commonwealth Cup heroine should be good enough to take this en route to next month's Minster Stakes at York and, if doing so, there is no telling just how far she can go again this year. Jasour travelled powerfully into the lead in the Cammidge last month only to be picked off by the progressive Aramram, who is considered the main threat, but Cornwallis winner Beckford's Folly can't be underestimated either.
- HAWK MOUNTAIN made only a moderate debut but set the turf alight thereafter, winning twice at the Curragh, including the Group 2 Beresford, before landing the Futurity Trophy at Doncaster. This is unlikely to be his cup final given the entries he currently holds but it will be a handy gauge as to how he's progressed over the winter. The son of Wootton Bassett sets a lofty standard and might not need to be at his very best, but that would be a dangerous assumption given that Hidden Force and Avicenna are unbeaten in their two respective racecourse appearances. Hankelow could have a say too, and so might Oxagon, who probably wasn't seen to best effect on heavy ground behind the selection back in October.
- Having finished runner-up on all three outings, Baandee sets a fair standard for the others to aim at. Jack Morland's filly should be in the mix, but she may have to play second fiddle once more, with POINTE BLEU fancied to make a winning debut. The Blue Point filly is a half-sister to the decent Yaanaas and she will take all the beating if sharing similar ability. The returning Hassaleh is a feasible alternative.
- With four returning debut winners open to improvement, MAHO BAY edges the vote in what should prove a decent contest. Charlie Appleby's colt justified favouritism in some style at Kempton in December and there should be more to come. Irish raider Amadeus Mozart scored a shade cosily at the Curragh last June and merits the utmost of respect for top connections, while Guildmaster was impressive when scoring at Lingfield in December.
- Having gone agonisingly close on his stable bow at Musselburgh recently, Gangsta Man is high on the shortlist. The 5f distance that day looked to be on the sharp side for the son of Dandy Man and he's unlikely to be far away, but ROYAL VELVET is a touch more compelling. The five-year-old is another who will appreciate a return to this trip and she may take some stopping if reproducing her York triumph in August last year. Morte Point, Goldmoyne and Huscal are other leading contenders.
- MIND OVER MATTER sets the standard and should appreciate returning to both turf and a longer trip. The son of Starspangledbanner disappointed over the minimum distance at Newcastle most recently but is better judged on the promise shown in two previous starts over 6f at Ayr. The Untamed was a clear second on his debut at Chelmsford and is likely to take a step forward. Vega Storm and Different Opinions also warrant close inspection.
- URCHIN was a promising third when introduced in a similar contest over the mile here last August. The way the son of Ulysses rallied in the closing stages that day would suggest he ought to do better over middle distances this year. Poppeye also caught the eye on his debut over 1m4f at Southwell and is another key player. Sea And Sun, Sun Lord and Picaro are interesting newcomers and must be monitored in the betting.
- Tim Easterby has a good record in this race and can strike again with STORM ESME, who arrives having won two of her three starts as a juvenile. Considered good enough to tackle the Redcar Two-Year-Old-Trophy in between successes at Newcastle and Leicester, the daughter of Palace Pier looks a bright prospect for handicaps this term. Yy Spirit, Wyle Cop and Empress Olivia all know how to win races and are other notable contenders for the shortlist.
- KATS BOB makes a lot of sense in this competitive handicap because his comeback second at Catterick was a performance full of promise, and he's clearly come out of that race in good form to be turned out just eight days later. Roberto Caro finished a solid third at Newcastle and switches to turf with every chance, while Sixtygeesbaby is another to note.
- SPOKEN TRUTH could be the one here following a pleasing comeback run at Doncaster. Highly tried when trained in Ireland, the five-year-old finished a solid fourth on Town Moor and, entitled to have come forward for the run, this could be the time to catch him. Of the others, keep a close eye on the returning Pomme Pomme and C&D scorer Spioradalta.
- Whilst a few of these are making their seasonal returns, it could pay to side with the race-fit SAXON PRINCE. A step up in trip is likely to suit given that he went desperately close over 7f at Kempton latest, whilst a first run on the grass might prove vital to his progress too. Fickle Mcselfish and Sailor Batt have both been in decent form on the all-weather lately and are more appealing than some. Domination is also noted.
- There are no fewer than five previous C&D winners on show for the finale and ON THE RIVER might be the pick of them. A creditable fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster latest, a run which should have blown away any cobwebs, he can take the necessary step forward, not least because the excellent Harry Vigors gets aboard to take 5lb off his back. Walsingham's winning run came to an end at Doncaster in October but he'd been otherwise progressive and might bounce back, whilst Cosmos Raj heads the remainder.
- WIT (7) shaped well when sixth at Chantilly in a Class 2 handicap late last month and this lightly raced performer has plenty more to come. He is preferred ahead of DOUBLE UP (4), who scored at Saint-Cloud on his penultimate start in a Class 3 handicap in late November, and will be sharper for a recent run late last month. LAKOTA BEAU (12) won at La Teste last August and should be considered strongly each-way. PUMALIN PARK (2) ran well at Chantilly last time and is interesting back on turf. CLAVIS AUREA (16) heads the rest.
- THE LAST DANCE (9) won with authority on her debut on the PSF in early March at Chantilly. Christophe Soumillon retains the ride and she is preferred over SINDALAH (4), who won nicely on her sole start at Deauville in late October last year and can step forward from that. YMEEELIH (2) also scored on her debut at Saint-Cloud in late March and is open to plenty of improvement. MIUCCIA (5) ran a good race when fourth in a Group 3 race and is another to keep onside.
- MR LOPE CEN (6) won nicely in a newcomers race at Chantily on the PSF in mid-March and will have no issues with the switch to turf. He will improve from his debut and can edge it over another promising type in PARADE BAY (5), who scored on his debut at Saint-Cloud last November and has been give time since that success. BOCCA AL LUPO (1) is also a winner on his latest start at Chantilly in January and should be on the premises. MIJAS (3) heads the rest.
- BLARNEY (2) has scored twice recently. the latter over 3000m in a Class 2 handicap at Fontainebleau in late March. He is given the nod ahead of MAHOMES (4), who performed well to be second at saint-Cloud in a Class 3 race on March 29th. AUTEUR (3) has also won the last two races, the most recent at Fontainebleau in a Class 3 handicap in early March. CRISTABEL (1) completes the shortlist.
- JIJI MY LOVE (12) can play a leading role after a good second at Deauville early this month in a Class 4 handicap. She is well handicapped at the moment. GRAY D'ALBION (3) can be the one that gives the selection plenty to think about. LADY LUCK (1) arrives after a good second at Chantilly in a Class 4 handicap in March and can be competitive. EL PROFESSOR CHOP (6) won two runs back at Saint-Cloud in mid-March and is another to consider.
- IDEE DE CHEVAL (1) could be the answer to this open race. He ran well to be fifth in a Class 3 handicap at Saint-Cloud in mid-March when last appearing. His main danger could be KALEOCREEK (5), who scored at Strasbourg in a Class 4 handicap on March 22nd and is an honest performer. NEW BALL (13) ran well to be second last time out at La Teste on his handicap debut and has a bit more to come. GRIGNETTE (10) heads the rest, having won 7 days ago at Argentan.
- MON SIOUX (13) ran well to be fourth at Deauville in a Class 4 handicap 8 days ago over 1400m. He is the tentative selection in this open handicap. His main threat could be AUTUMN TWILIGHT (2), who scored in that race and is penalised for that success. LORD POST OFFICE (7) ran a solid race to be second at Saint-Cloud earlier this month and should not be ignored. CIACCINO (6) came back to form when fourth at Moulins 7 days ago and is another to consider.
- WAPI (6) has been running well enough without success recently and was a fair fifth at Saint-Cloud in a Class 2 handicap when last seen in late March. He is well drawn and can get another success at the expense of CALAS (2), who scored two runs back at Saint-Cloud on March 16th in a Class 3 race. MONTGAUDRY (7) also ran well at Saint-Cloud when third in a Class 3 handicap in March and looks solid each way. KALAHANI (1) looks best of the remainder.
- A competitive-looking event. BLU METAL JACKET (5) has some fair form, and the addition of blinkers could have the desired effect. IMPITOYABLE (1) is in good form and is right at home in this division, so will not go down easily. MEHMIST (3) is not reliable but did do enough early on in his career to be a danger to these rivals. KOUTSOUNAKOS (6) did not show his best last time out, but this veteran is also capable of scoring.
- AFFECTION (1) has done best on the PSF but is well weighted for this race and can follow up on a solid last win in this division. SIMPLYTHEBEST (6) has yet to win a race but is very consistent and should be right there at the finish once again. TO NIGHT MOON (4) can be a threat back in this division over this longer distance. TOREBEK (2) has some fair recent form and is another that is capable of winning at this level.
- A very open-looking race. SOUPIR (7) is in good shape and has won many times in this category, so gets the vote to score. JARDIN BLEU (8) has held his form well of late and should be right there at the finish once again. LA HAUTE ISLE (2) is not reliable, but this distance suits and she should be a lively danger in a race of this nature. HASHTAG JOA (9), fresh off a win at Hyeres, is another that has to be considered a possible victor.
- A tricky race. UNFURLED (1) has not been reliable of late but could be best judged on his course-and-distance victory. SIR GARSING (2) is in very good form and would not be a surprise winner. MEASTER OWEN (5) could be ready for an improved performance after two recent disappointing efforts. BONNY WAY (6) seems a lot better than a recent disappointing run in a claimer at Marseille-Borely and is a threat on her best form.
- Eleven unraced three-year-olds are carded to go to post for this. SAINT ARNOULT (2) catches the eye on breeding, being a son of Wootton Bassett and trained by a man who knows what is needed to win first time out. BRUNETTE COLEMAN (5) looks to be a danger. This filly by Cracksman is well bred. FALKENSTEIN (3) represents Jean-Claude Rouget, and it would not be a surprise were he to score. TULLIS (6) is another to consider.
- MERCI ELIE (2) was a very easy winner of his last start at Marseille-Borely. He is expected to follow up and beat these rivals. HOODWINK (6) finished off her race nicely at Chantilly last time out and does get a weight advantage from her rival, so remains a threat. KING OF CHILL (5) probably prefers the PSF but cannot be ruled out from scoring. MUNGASHA (3) is hard to trust but is capable of making the frame.
- COUNSELOR (4) did not show his best when trying a handicap before but does have blinkers on this time and that could spark a victory. NEW RISK (8) showed some improvement at Lyon-La Soie and could have more to offer at this track. OCRA (2) is capable of better than her last run would suggest and could be a threat. ALEKSANDROVKA (12) has a tougher task this time but is not out of it.
- A tricky lucky last race. YAMANAKA (7) was a good winner at Lyon-La Soie but will need to repeat that on the grass and in a handicap this time around. MARCHEMALO (2) should like it back on the grass and would not be a surprise winner. PESTACLE (8) carries a penalty for a recent handicap victory but could follow up. I'M A BELIEVER (4) has only been moderate of late but is capable of shining brightly if showing his best form.
- MY GIRL AUBREE finished a creditable third last time out and that form looks solid enough to get off the mark here. She's Bankable and Lady Delilah also merit consideration.
- SHARP SPARK finished a strong second in a higher-grade starter allowance the last time out and drops in class here. Hey Toby won impressively at this level two runs back and Centavo scored well over a longer trip recently.
- NOGUCHI has shown placed form in recent outings and the step up in class could bring improvement. Sounds Like Fun has been placed before and gets the nod for second, while Big Brooklyn completes the shortlist.
- MERMAID has been placed in all three career starts and looks the one to beat after finishing third at Gulfstream last time out. Beneficence and I'm Very Sweet also merit consideration.

- CONQUERING MARIN showed promise when third in Ireland and could prove the one to beat in this step up in class. Lucy Mcgee and Aurora Sky also merit consideration.
- MO WORK drops in class and could prove the one to beat after winning on turf at Churchill Downs. Shangrala Road has course form but disappointed as favourite the last time out. Attersee finished a respectable second at Oaklawn Park last time and merits consideration.
- JUST A TOUCH drops in class after finishing second in the Louisiana Stakes at Fair Grounds and looks the one to beat. Maycocks Bay and Legalize also merit consideration.

- PATERNO won impressively over C&D the last time out and looks the one to beat with two course and distance victories already. Showtime Matinee and Buzz Adams also merit consideration.
