By Tom Weekes - CAPE SOUNION showed smart ability on last month’s debut and can put that experience to good use. Although the well-bred winner of that Naas race was subsequently well beaten at Group 3 level, today’s selection arguably shaped with more promise as she missed the break, had to be switched to challenge and finished well. She should improve from that run. Beautify is out of Words, who was a Group 3 winner, and being by Wotton Bassett and a half-sister to a Listed winner, is likely to be smart. Dancing Saxon is a half-sister to a Group 2 winner while Paris Carver was a 600,000 dollar breeze-up purchase in March. Amerilis cost E175,000 as a yearling.
By Tom Weekes - ALBERT EINSTEIN lived up to his name by producing a smart effort on his debut run recently. From a good family and out of a juvenile-Group-placed dam, he was accompanied by his trainer to the start for that well-touted Naas debut run and produced a fine effort to wear down the once-raced runner-up. Easing ground conditions is a small concern but he should continue to progress. Andab is a brother to Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf winner Victoria Road and himself showed high-class potential over today’s course-and-distance earlier this month. He should give the selection a real race, although also encounters easier ground. Power Blue wasn’t beaten far in a smart course Listed race earlier this month.
By Tom Weekes - Four-time Group 1-winning gem PORTA FORTUNA meets some race-fit rivals on seasonal reappearance but can score. She failed by a neck in the English Guineas last May and while well held at November’s Breeders Cup, met significant trouble in-running then. Today’s race will tee her up for next month’s Royal Ascot hat-trick attempt but has sufficient ability, and form on softening-ground, to score. Late-comer Vera’s Secret is now six but seems to be improving and scooted clear to win at Leopardstown last month. One Look, whose rider Billy Lee is bidding for a fifth consecutive win in this race, also landed a Group 3 recently and is ground-versatile. Jancis is held by the selection on Matron Stakes form.
By Tom Weekes - Irish Derby-winner LOS ANGELES is the pick, amongst some middle-distance heavyweights. His Classic success came between English Derby and Prix de l’Arc third-placings and while he would prefer 1m4f, today’s race is a helpful 110 yards further than when beating White Birch this month. Admittedly well-held by Anmaat in October’s British Champion Stakes, the selection was hampered then while the race also came 13 days after his fine Arc effort. Anmaat has progressed with racing and relishes soft ground, but needs to produce his best form to win on seasonal reappearance. Last year’s winner White Birch should compete while Kalpana won October’s British Champion Fillies %26 Mares Stakes but now meets males racing over a slightly inadequate distance.
By John O'Riordan - Almost certain to have improved from Newmarket, LAKE VICTORIA can reverse form with both Flight and Simmering. Having been slow to come to hand this spring, trainer Aidan O'Brien had expressed doubts about the filly being ready in time for the English Guineas. To her credit, the daughter of Frankel ran a huge race, staying on nicely inside the last furlong to finish sixth. Flight, who outran her odds to chase home the winner at Newmarket, should also be better for that first start of the season. The unexposed Swelter and Newmarket third Simmering are also worthy of consideration.
By John O'Riordan - Runner-up in a Group 3 at Baden-Baden on her final start as a juvenile, LA GUAPISIMA can defy top-weight. Having her first start for trainer Gavin Cromwell, the French Listed winner sets a high standard in a race of this nature. Her presence at the head of the weights also means that the four towards the bottom are forced to race from out of the handicap. Given her apparent preference for soft ground, any rain that falls will be welcome. Shiota, who landed a competitive handicap at Naas recently, has to be respected despite her subsequent rise. Varshini and Empress Artemis are others to consider.
By John O'Riordan - A Grade 3 winner over fences at Thurles on his penultimate start, COMMON PRACTICE is undeniably well treated on his return to the Flat. Lightly raced in this sphere in recent years, the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding can race off 1lb lower than when narrowly denied at the Galway Festival in 2022. Prior to that effort, the son of Gleneagles had won the Apprentice Derby at this track. Given his rate of improvement over jumps subsequently, it is hard to believe that a mark of 81 is beyond him. Killarney runner-up Robbies Rock has to be a serious contender in first-time cheekpieces, while both Molly Hall and Granite Bay are worthy of respect.
By John O'Riordan - Having caught the eye when finishing second at Naas on her debut last month, MITTENS can open her account. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly lost her position early in the straight before staying on strongly to take minor honours close home. A Munster Oaks entry suggests the daughter of Night Of Thunder has been pleasing connections in the wake of that promising start. A half-sister to a Group 1-placed colt, Gifted has to be respected on her introduction. Aidan O'Brien has struck with a number of similar types in recent weeks. Matrice, who wears first-time cheekpieces, is another who holds claims.
- PRESENTING MILAN struck in one of his four bumper starts and shaped with plenty of promise on his hurdling debut at Market Rasen last month. The five-year-old could have lots more to offer and will prove hard to beat. Just A Heartbeat finished a good second in a bumper at Ascot in February and is an interesting contender on her first start over the smaller obstacles. Yarborough completes the shortlist.
- PRIDE OF PARIS was beaten a neck into second when sporting first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter earlier in the month and is just 2lb higher. Harry Derham's seven-year-old may only need to run to a similar level in order to go one better. Anytrixwilldo is a player if judged on his Taunton victory rather than his subsequent Warwick disappointment. Ballintara has turned back the clock of late and is another to consider.
- DOC MCCOY made every yard of the running to score in ready fashion in a conditional jockeys' handicap at Ffos Las on Thursday and escapes a penalty for that victory. The son of Getaway looks well placed to make it three wins from his last four outings. Sam's Amour completed a double at Stratford when last seen and has to be respected back in handicap company. The Bold Thady is the pick of the remainder.
- Presenting Yeats comfortably stays this distance with a Stratford success on his CV, but he has 8lb more from the handicapper and may have to settle for a place. FERRET JEETER won here over shorter and although he has also been upped considerably in the weights, he could have more to come, though he will need to take another step forward. Thirtyfour Thirty and perhaps Quite The Getaway are others to consider.
- MAN OF THE SEA came home last of four at Hereford in a better race earlier in the month and, if he is kept nearer to the early pace over further here, he could step up for his 18th career success and sixth over hurdles. Dirty Den is an obvious danger after his recent Worcester victory, while Junior Des Bordes is one to watch on his handicap debut and first start for two and a half years.
- JACK SPARROW GREY made it two from two over fences and C&D when coming clear to record a comfortable success here recently, and the progressive Kap Rock gelding is fancied to defy a further 7lb rise to complete his hat-trick. Summer In Milan has been in good form over timber and will be a player if as effective back over the larger obstacles, with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Millies Mite doesn't have the most consistent profile but is noted nevertheless.
- Point winner Eastern Shores kept on well into third at Fakenham on her Rules bow and, although the Jet Away mare should improve, a chance can be taken on HYPERBOLE. Olly Murphy has an excellent record in bumpers and his mare, whose dam won in this discipline, looks more than capable given her pedigree. Sevarana is a sister to a couple of useful types so it would come as no great surprise were she to have a say.
- Having made a perfect start to his jumping career when scoring at Plumpton a fortnight ago, there should be more to come from PERGAMON. The four-year-old showed signs of inexperience and any improvement may see him follow up. The biggest threat could emerge from stable/seasonal debutant Kow Boy Sivola, who finished last term with a respectable second at Sedgefield. Champ De Gane and Green Bonnet are worth a market check.
- SPARTAN WARRIOR lost little in defeat when finding only a subsequent winner too strong at Stratford earlier this month. Rebecca Menzies' gelding makes grand appeal racing off an unchanged mark and compensation could be imminent. A switch of tactics saw Away She Goes making all over 2m here 18 days ago and an additional quarter-mile, combined with a 7lb rise, shouldn't prevent another bold bid. The six-year-old is feared most, ahead of Sedgefield runner-up Jet Patrol.
- Reverting to 3m proved just the trick for last month's Perth scorer Billable Grant and he may have more to offer over staying distances. However, a 5lb higher mark does demand more from the Watar gelding and he may have his work cut out against Susan Corbett's duo. LES'S LEGACY has improved since having cheekpieces added and a repeat of his latest second here may prove sufficient. Stablemate Wee Alki is unlikely to be far behind.
- IMPERO travels over from Ireland with a leading chance. Cian Collins' progressive hurdler found life tough in Listed company at Punchestown last month, having won nicely at Ballinrobe prior to that, and there looks more to come from the six-year-old back at this level. Rewired arrives off the back of a convincing victory at Hereford. He's now won two of his last three outings and makes more appeal than Simple Star of the remainder.
- Starlyte disappointed last time, having won with a bit in hand over course and distance before that. She's not easily dismissed, but BARRONS LAND may edge this contest. The latter has had a couple of recent outings over fences, and ran well enough for third at Bangor last month. However, Laura Horsfall's inmate is of more interest back over hurdles with an amateur's 7lb allowance in her favour, and she gets the nod. Feach Amach may prove best of the rest.
- Lipstick Traces failed to help her cause by hanging left in the closing stages when third at Hexham recently. She still makes more appeal than Am I Bovvered, well beaten when fourth here last month, but a chance is taken on the newcomer CUSHENDALL. The Irish challenger is related to a winner over jumps in North America and could prove good enough at the first time of asking, with Brian Hughes' presence another positive.
- A major improver for the step up in trip when scoring over 3m at Ffos Las, POOLEY'S PROMISE is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up off 5lb higher. East Eagle arrives with similar claims after a taking success at Southwell and a 6lb rise could prove lenient on his second start back after wind surgery. Geordie Night and Getuptheyard are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
- MISS MAVERICK has a fine record around here and she arrives in top form following a determined success at Hexham off 5lb lower. The eight-year-old is capable of going in again and is preferred to Marlacoo, who wasn't beaten far when looking to supplement an Ayr triumph over further at Fontwell last month. Fine Casting may also have a say in proceedings.
- This can go the way of CRYSTAL SPRING following arguably a career-best effort when second at Fakenham. The booking of Sean Bowen is noteworthy and, in receiving 14lb from easy Ludlow winner Service Minimum, she may have enough to gain a first career success. A promising second in a bumper at Wincanton when last seen, Fresh As A Daisy must be of interest on her hurdles bow.
- Light N Strike won cosily enough, despite a mistake at the last, at Newton Abbot and he can go well off 5lb higher, but HELTENHAM ticks more boxes. Seven of his eight successes have been over this sort of trip, including a 13-length Perth victory last month, and an added 8lb from the handicapper may not be enough to stop Dan Skelton's representative. Top-weight Matterhorn is another to consider after a return to form when second at Plumpton.
- LEADING FORCE made his first appearance for James Owen when beaten a head over hurdles at Southwell on Tuesday and he could be the one now returning to fences off the same mark. Art Of Diplomacy has been a bit frustrating with eight consecutive top-four finishes since joining the Bowen team and may have to settle for more of the same. Sweet Street has won off this rating before and has her first start following wind surgery.
- MY FRIEND SEAN has gone from strength to strength since December, recording four victories out of five starts. Tom Lacey's yard is in fine form at present and the six-year-old can continue his rise through the ranks. Vocito struck over fences prior to disappointing in fifth at Perth last month, but is one to watch out for now stepping back into this sphere. Tara Iti can beat Model Approach home for third.
- Ask A Sainte is the only contender with previous experience after an encouraging third on debut at Wincanton and it would be no surprise to see him take a step forward. Even so, STRONG VIEW looks the more appealing option. The daughter of Telescope is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Strong Leader and goes for the in-form Olly Murphy team. Any market support behind Alba Crus would be interesting.
- LEON DU RIB (14) scored convincingly last time out at Elbeuf, suggesting there's more to come from him in this discipline. Coming from a stable in good form, he gets the vote. L'AUDACIEUX MIJO (9) has put in several solid performances under the saddle and should play a major role in a race of this nature. LEONARDO PASS (13) has shown ability in harness racing and could make a notable impact on his debut in the mounted category. LIEUTENANT COLONEL (12) is best forgiven his last run and is worth considering.
- ROYALWOOD (3) has finished unplaced in five runs since winning at Fontainebleau in March, but she hasn't performed poorly. With some relief from the handicapper, she has a strong chance to score. IMPITOYABLE (5) won in April at Moulins over 1000m and put in a solid effort when finishing fourth at La Teste last month, making him a competitive contender. KING ROBBE (7) scored last time out at La Teste and deserves respect despite a penalty. DAIQUIBERRY (2) heads the remainder.
- CACOFONIX (1) seems progressive and was a decent second in a Class 2 race at this track on his last run earlier this month over 1400m. He can win from the promising COREY BEACH (6), who shaped well on her seasonal return at Compiegne late in April in a Class 2 race when fourth. She will strip fitter for that spin. ALEM (2) sowed improvement to win his maiden at Moulins on May 10th and has a good bit more to come. KERKILA (5) is also worth considering.
- TOPGEAR (4) should be fit and ready for his return run. He signed off last year with a win at Newmarket in the Challenge Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket in early October over 1400m by an easy 5L. He is preferred over LAKE FOREST (5), who won at Rosehill in Australia on his last start in early November. BEAUVATIER (3) is a classy operator and has won over track and trip before. He is hard to ignore. EXXTRA (7) is also worth considering.
- I GOT RHYTHM (13) ran a good race when second, beaten narrowly in a handicap at Saint-Cloud at the start of this month. He is lightly raced and has a good bit more to come .LIBYAN KNIGHT (5) has some solid form recently and was a good third at Saint-Cloud 12 days ago and looks like he can be a threat. DALAKIR (3) is not fully exposed and looks like a good each-way option. GOOD SPEED (2) has been consistent recently and can have a say in the finish. PRINCESSE D'AMOUR (9) is also worth considering.
- SOSIE (5) is a top-class operator and scored in the Prix Ganay (Gr.1) at this track over 2100m on April 27th on his last run. Down in trip is a slight issue, but he should hold to many guns for the improving SARDINIAN WARRIOR (2), who won nicely in a Listed race at Ascot(UK) on his most recent start in late April. ALCANTOR (3) was a decent fourth in the Befred365 Mile (Group 2) at Sandown (UK) on his last start in late April and warrants respect. HORIZON DORE (1) heads the rest.
- SEVENNA'S KNIGHT (4) has run two solid efforts this year and can improve further with the step back up in trip. He is marginally preferred over DOUBLE MAJOR (7), who has performed well on his two runs this year, beating the selection into third in the Royal Oak (Gr1) last year at Saint-Cloud. DUBAI FUTURE (2) has won both of his starts in Dubai at Meydan this year, the latter in the Dubai Gold Cup (Gr.1) in April, and is hard to ignore. TRUESHAN (6) loves soft ground and heads the rest.
- ROULETTE (4) has been knocking at the door with two second-placed efforts recently, the latter over this track on April 30th, he can get a deserved success at the expense of MR BRIGHTSIDE (7), who was fifth in the same race in April and has just over a length to find to reverse placings. GOLDEN DISC (2) looks like a sensible option for the each-way backers to latch on to after a good second in a maiden recently. SONNAZ (8) is also worth a mention.
- MEASTER OWEN (1) was a decent second at this track over 2500m in late April and can go one place better this time. DAYAL (3) was a creditable third at Saint-Cloud on April 11th in a Class 3 handicap and could be the main danger to the selection. SPANISH VEGA (5) shaped well to be third at Saint-Cloud on the last start earlier this month and looks like a good option each way. RAIATEA (7) makes up the shortlist.
- LA MAZZI GOGO (12) has shown consistency with placed efforts in her last four starts and performs well on this track. She could edge out WAKANDA TANGO (1), who secured a victory last time over the same course and distance, beating her by nearly a length. On better terms, she may reverse the placings. SINDIA (3) finished between them in second that day and remains a strong contender. BORN TO WIN (6) was back in fifth and has ground to make up.
- DSCHINGIS JOY (5) appears to have the strongest form in the field. She ran well in her last race and could prove hard to beat. REINE DU RISK (6) finished unplaced in her last race over 2000m but she will benefit from the longer distance and has to come into the reckoning. In her last start EMBIEZ (9) finished not too far behind DSCHINGIS JOY (5) so that brings her into the picture. GOT SEA (3) ran poorly last time when unplaced but her prior form was good so perhaps that run should be ignored.
- MISTY MORNING (1) impressed when winning well last time on debut and is a runner to follow. He looks likely to win again in this company. However, MISSISSIPPI RIVER (2) could not have been more impressive in his first outing, running clear of his opposition by 17 lengths. The strength of that field could be questionable though. MACSHADOW DES CRAI (7) made an impression on debut when finishing third and should improve. MACKTOAD (5) is a nicely bred first-timer whose dam won on the Flat so watch the betting.
- This is not a particularly strong field and well-bred ROI STANISLAS (5) catches the eye. His sire has produced a number of Graded winners and his dam has good form. On breeding he makes the most appeal. GABSTONE (8) was highly regarded but has not raced for more than 8 months. LEODAGAN (6) is another first-timer who must come into the reckoning as this gelding comes from a strong stable. The same can be said of BOSQUET (4) whose trainer has had lots of success at this track.
- This race could be wide open as there are a number of runners who are having their first runs. VINGT SEPT (1) is a very well-bred colt and on breeding alone he has to be the runner to beat. SENATOR is another well-bred first-timer who is out of dam that has run well on the flat. BLANCHE EPINE (10) could be the best of the raced runners and her debut run was good enough to believe there will be more improvement to come. MON LULU (7) is another making a debut who could be in the running.
- This looks to be a very open race but WESTMINSTER NIGHT (7) has run against better and if he produces his best form it is a race he can win. GOLD INDEX (5) returns to the track where he had his first win and that puts him in the frame. The connections of MEMPHIS TENNESSEE (6) rate him quite highly and will run well if he produces his best form. WE RIDE THE WORLD (3) has a lot of racing experience and that could help in a race of this nature.
- Another very open contest but AL RASSOUL (10) ran well against stronger at ParisLongchamp last time and that puts him in prime position to win this event. Filly MARDEN (6) raced over 2000m last time but tired late and will benefit from the 400m drop in distance. SANKA CHOP (2) was a little disappointing last time but is better than that performance and cannot be ignored in this. TURTLE CHOPE (3) also did not run to her best form last time but her previous results are decent and she could feature.
- JORDAN BAKER (5) is enjoying a purple patch and could make the trip from Chantilly worthwhile. He gets the nod ahead of JOYEUSE DE ROMAY (6), whose recent effort at Lyon-Parilly was better than the bare result suggests. Veteran RED TORCH (1) proved at Borely last time out that he remains a force to be reckoned with. LORLISALSA (12) has slipped to a very attractive handicap mark and could be an interesting contender.
- SYNTACTIC finished a respectable third in a similar event last month and that level of form might be good enough. Test Pilot and Robo are also worthy of consideration.
- BRAINIAC would not need much more to break his maiden having posted a number of positive efforts in recent starts. Arromax and Double Echo head the list of dangers.
- WAR CHEST made it three wins from his last four starts at Turf Paradise last month and tops the shortlist once again. Sarge's Sermon and Cibertruck can battle it out for minor honours.
- OUTOFTHEDARK hasn't been at his best recently but he is three from five at this venue and may well bounce back. Street Humor and Bruckner might not be far away.
- A comfortable winner over shorter at Prairie Meadows last time out, KANJENG could have more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up at the main expense of Church Pew and Miz Cali.
- THE SCENT has been knocking on the door of late and this looks like a good opportunity to regain the winning thread. Hootowl Hoot and Mr Fabricator are high on the shortlist as well.
- LOVING GAZE drops in class and may well bounce back to form. House Alert has placed at a similar level in the past, while Vai Gattina could prove best of the rest.
- SMOOTH RICO is taken to make the most of this easier opportunity and come out best. Gabriel Seven and Change Your Luck are others with solid claims in this grade.
- Fourth here last time, PARADE OF FEARS is taken to reverse form with the more exposed Zaptastic (third) and open his account. Buzz Bunny looks best of the remainder.
- An easy winner over C&D last time, MOON ROX is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up at the main expense of Collecting Angels and Butterfly Effect.
- CRY TOUGH looks the one to beat if building upon a strong runner-up effort over C&D last August. Newcomer Hello Foxy and Sonde Tails are feared most.
- An easy winner over shorter here last time, COIF should have plenty more to come over further and she gets the vote ahead of Gettothstoryimdone and Sherunsthistown.
- NO CHANGE was just touched off in a C&D stakes contest last time and he is difficult to oppose now afforded an ease in grade. Paymengold and No Love For Juba are unlikely to be far away either.
- ANNAPOLIS ROAD landed a stakes contest here in October and the low-mileage three-year-old, who is now two wins from three in his career, can continue to improve. Caffeinennicotine and This Juice B Loose head the list of immediate dangers.
- A highly encouraging second here last time out, WIREWYRE looks the one to beat on the drop in distance. Others to note include Caviar Cowboy, Ibn Sina and Tigersun.
- SUNGLASSES finished a creditable third at a higher level than this last time out and the daughter of Iffraaj is very much the one to beat in these calmer waters. English Danger and Oh Angel are feared most.
- Having struck the woodwork at Turf Paradise last time out, ETHAN'S GIRL is taken to go one place better, possibly at the main expense of Hot Betty. Stay N Lov might not be far away either.
- OM N JOY returned the convincing winner of a stakes race last time and looks worth sticking with. Sunset Grazen and Miso Phansy rate the chief dangers.
- KINGS RIVER KNIGHT is a proven winner at this level and will be hard to stop. Coalinga Road and Barely Funtional could fight it out for the minor honours.
- LADY GREGORY went agonisingly close when denied by a nose here last month and it looks just a matter of time before she succeeds at this level. Sharp Ride and Thirsty Trickster are worth a second look as well.
- Stepping up in trip could eke out further improvement from GOT SOUL and he may be able the land hat-trick. Bro Bro and Cali Cat can follow the selection home.
