- Impressive winner on monte debut under these conditions earlier in the month, LUCIFER D'ORPHEE (9) returns to the code after prepping under harness and can confirm, provided Anthony Barrier keeps him trotting. LEON DU CLOS (11) showed a marked change in form recently and should be able to give him a run for his money. LOTI SOLO (8) opened his monte account here, at the first time of asking, and must be afforded considerable respect. LOOK DE LA COTE (6) came in a place behind him that day and is not about to let the side down.
- Like a horse reborn in her current configuration, KRISTALE D'ERABLE (15) won easily here mid-March and returns to racing clockwise with every chance of confirming. She will still be pitted against the talented KEENGAME (14) for whom it is always a question of all-or-nothing, and KARMA LIGHT (11) who left a good impression in Paris a month ago. Just once out of the first 3 under the saddle, KOOKIE DE BELLANDE (12) beat a number of these over course and distance recently and, even though shod, must be taken more seriously.
- GOUTIER CELESTE (8) may not be the easiest of horses to handle but he made short work of a Class F over course and distance recently and can double his money if he deigns to stay in stride. Mathieu Mottier will be justifiably wary of the temperamental but capable HOLIDAY WELL (11) who imposed here in March and who sports just front pads in a bid to make up for his Lisieux sanction. GAMAY (6) should not be too harshly judged for his latest performance and sporting a new formula may be just the ticket. FIRST DU MILAN (1) showed his form earlier in the month, is shod differently, and will be competitive for a spot in first 3.
- Ideally entered, as the joint top-rated runner in the race under bottom weight, SCHWENDI (11) has a great opportunity to reconnect with success. He will, however, have to thwart the likely challenges of INATTENDU (1) and RADETSKY MARSCH (9), who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively at Chantilly a fortnight ago. MONTGAUDRY (4) is inconsistent but has the means to make his presence felt.
- ENERGIC (9) improved after a much-needed comeback outing to open her account last time out at La Roche-sur-Yon and, with the likelihood of further progress, seems capable of following up here. Both LILY OFTHE KINGDON (1) and MASTERPLAN (5) are best equipped to pose a threat, with the shortlist completed by DAL PRATO (3) who is making his first appearance in the claiming category.
- VERDANT LADY (7) caught the eye on debut when an encouraging 4th in the benchmark race and, with improvement expected, looks a serious candidate for victory. ABSOLUTE POWER (2) finished 2nd that race and is likely to play another leading role. ODEMAR (4), who will benefit from the 2,5kg allowance of his rider, is also a contender for the leading positions. NEXT EAGLE (5), who was 4th in the reference race, appeals most of the remainder.
- JOLI CORBEAU (11) has made two encouraging appearances this year and is ideally engaged (weighted) under these conditions, so should fight for victory. ZAHYANA (10), who finished 2nd in a pleasing comeback display of her own, and PANGAEA (1), a recent Quinte winner, ought to mount a serious challenge. LA DIVA D'ALBEN (4), who beat several re-opposing rivals last time, remains competitive under a penalty.
- TOPTAMA (2) has improved with every outing and confirmed as much by opening his account in style last time and, on the evidence of that performance, Jean-Claude Rouget's charge is capable of following up with further progress on the cards. ALTHURAYA (1), who won a recent claiming race, is likely to lead the opposition ahead of consistent fillies VERA (6) and LADY CHATTERLEY (3).
- In a recent handicap at ParisLongchamp, PREMIERE ETOILE (4) went very close to winning. She gets along well with Pierre Remoue, who has the benefit of a 2,5kg allowance, so is the horse to beat. SWEETEST THING (1) can make life difficult for the selection, given this drop in class, while LIGHT UP THE MOON (2) also has the means to make his presence felt. KALEOBAYANE (8) completes the shortlist.
- PARIOLO (1) was a convincing winner on debut and has not been disgraced in three starts on the grass since, so looks the one to be with in this claimer. LUMINESCE (3) ran well on the PSF last year. She has struggled this year but could be a threat in this division. MOOR MALPIC (5) won well on debut and could be anything. SUHAAS (2) is capable of vast improvement off a modest debut.
- Mathieu Boutin seems to hold the keys to the race. RUE MIA (3) has been very consistent in handicaps and could be rewarded with a victory in the lucky last. BOTTOMS UP (1) has disappointed this year but could pop up. GODAKA (2) is consistent and was not disgraced last time out over this distance and should fight out the finish. BAWE ISLAND (6) drops in distance and deserves respect.
- LECOSTO (7) made a pleasing debut when he was second at Royan over 2900m earlier this month on the flat. He can score on his hurdling debut. DEVIL IS BACK (6) unseated his jockey three flights from home at La Teste last time when leading. He can have a say with a clear round of jumping. PRIVATE JOKE (10) is also one to consider on her hurdling debut after a nice effort when second last time at Divonne in late April. ITALIAN FLIGHT (2) heads the remainder.
- DONE DEAL (4) gets the marginal vote in a small but select field of runners. He won nicely on his only run at Chantilly in late April and can improve from that pleasing effort. DSCHINGIS DREAM (1) did what was asked when scoring last time at Angers earlier this month and has more to come. GLOBAL HEALTH (2) is also in the mix after a facile six-length win at this track last time and on his seasonal return.
- TERRE ETOILEE (7) looks to be a better chase than he was over hurdles and can follow up on a win at Orleans and get the job done here. JOUVANCELLE (3) was second in a Class 5 race at Orleans when last seen over fences and looks like the main threat today. BORN TO BE A QUEEN (2) has been competing in cross-country races of late and might enjoy the switch back to regulation fences. VOLKOV JELOIS (1) is also worth a mention.
- In a wide open handicap with many winning hopes, a chance is taken on WOOT CITY (2) to bounce back from a rather disappointing recent effort and on his overall form, he looks a solid chance. JAZZMEN (3) had his first run for the year last time out and would have tightened up significantly with that effort under his belt so could go very close. MYKISS (6) was another that wasn't seen in the best light last time out and he should go very well. TRES ROCK WOMEN (5) arrives in cracking form and will make her presence felt in a big way.
- XAARINE (3) romped home to victory at his latest start and could be hard to stop once again given the lack of opposition. SEVENTH WONDER (8) is 2.5kgs better off with the reopposing Xaarine but that may not be enough to turn the form around. SWEET DREAMS (6) goes handicapping and can run a better race. CORMORAN (1) could run into the money on handicap debut.
- In a race that will not take much winning it may pay to side with LEEROY GOLD (6) who ran well in a Class 4 handicap last time in early May over 1350m when finishing fourth. He can score from SO GOLD (2) who ran a reasonable race in a Class 3 handicap at this track when last seen on May 8th. KAMINO (1) is one for the each-way backers to take seriously. EL BNOUD (5) makes up the shortlist.
- ALPENJAGER (7) is the class package in this race and sets the standard on his Group form. He certainly won't be fully wound for this assignment but his class could pull him through. CASSIUS (2) is better than his last and will be waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces if the top pick has to fluff his lines. VEIL OF SHADOWS (5) can build on his only run in France to date and could get involved. NACIDO (1) returns off a layoff but can run into the money.
- SAINT LANGIS (5) arrives in solid consistent form and sets quite a decent standard in this contest. He should get the right run in transit and will go very close to adding another win to his tally. VIZINDI (7) won with a bit in hand last time out and with some weight off the back, there is every reason to believe he can follow up. INNIS (6) was well held in 2nd but was clear of the rest of the field at his latest outing so could get involved. DIANA (2) is held by Innis and could place.
By Michael Graham - The market should be very informative ahead of this juvenile maiden. HUNTING SONG is certainly a debutant of interest. Aidan O'Brien's No Nay Never colt is a brother to a Listed-placed horse and holds a Group 2 Railway Stakes entry at the Curragh next month. Sir Yoshi's second in Dundalk and third in Cork read well and, if he handles the slower ground, he would have every chance. Political Power kept on well for fourth on debut on heavy ground in Chantilly which will really stand to him. Joseph O'Brien introduces two colts and his Rudi's Apple made 140,000 guineas at a breeze-up sale, while twice-raced Passing Phase is another to note.
By Michael Graham - Saxon Warrior colt SURPASS represents powerful connections and could be up to making a winning debut in a winnable race. He doesn't hold any big-race entries, but is sure to be well schooled for this assignment. Dr Ali didn't progress from an opening third in Navan when a beaten favourite in fourth at the same track. however, slower ground may suit him more than others. Starry Desert is a half-brother to a Listed-placed filly and starts out for a stable that has been firing plenty of winners in. Newcomers The Marty Party and Faoladh (who has plenty of winners in his pedigree) are worth checking for market strength.
By Michael Graham - SPECKLED MEADOW holds each-way claims in a race where many have chances. Better ground was her undoing when last seen in Leopardstown, but this rain-softened going is very much in her favour. On her penultimate start, she beat a big field in Leopardstown and Wayne Hassett's claim has her on a competitive mark. Arbaawi didn't appear to stay 1m2f in Navan, but has winning form over 7f on soft ground at Lingfield. Play It Again Zaam is in rude health after victories in Gowran Park and Roscommon. He's now a stone higher than when he started his winning run which makes life more difficult, but he should be in there pitching. Cage Rattler is another that merits scrutiny.
By Michael Graham - This ground could play into JEANIEMACARONEY's hands. She was placed in four maiden hurdles on testing conditions before a satisfactory return to the Flat when fourth on better ground in Cork. Hugh Horgan's 5lb claim has her 1lb better off at the weights with Alessia Fernanda. Dermot Weld's filly gets a first-time tongue-strap on this step up in trip and has been placed on three occasions, so is a major player. Quantum Light looks exposed after 16 races in Britain and Ireland, however, trip and ground are fine for her and this is not a strong contest.
By Michael Graham - STATUS GREEN ran a creditable race in second behind an easy winner in Killarney and could go one better. He made up plenty of ground in the final furlong and is of interest off the same mark of 54. Angel On Fire has been beaten roughly the same distance into second at Leopardstown and into fourth at Sligo and both races have been franked, so his claims are stronger than most. James Ryan got to know So Messi when the pair were a close third in Cork last week, while Magic Charm, Adhuil and Rock Basher are in the hunt for a cheque.
By Michael Graham - Aidan O'Brien's EPHESUS showed plenty of ability when a never-nearer third on debut at Dundalk. The winner, a stablemate of his, followed up in York and has big-race options. Ephesus got closer to a victory when runner-up in Chester and holds a Group 2 entry at Royal Ascot. Plenty of cut in the ground won't inconvenience Invention who has been running solidly in maiden company. He is a brother to an Irish Oaks runner-up and there are wins to be had with him. Camelot colt Himalayan Heights has posted two runner-up finishes while Slaneyside is a newcomer to note.
By Michael Graham - L'UN DEUX TROIS won over a similar trip at this track last summer and is weighted to go well again. He didn't run badly in fifth in a higher grade at Roscommon just over a fortnight ago. Paul Flynn's Forlio has prospects of adding to his Limerick success off 5lb higher. He had been off for more than 18 months, and was making his Irish debut for Flynn, when he got up by a neck in Limerick. There should be more to come from him. Nusra was the horse beaten into second in Limerick and she ought to be on the premises again. Flynn also saddles Sligo winner War Thunder who will have his supporters.
By John O'Riordan - Course and distance winner ONE LAST TANGO can strike for Kilkenny trainer Eoin Griffin. The seven-year-old easily landed a competitive handicap hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas before running respectively in mid division in a couple of stronger contests after. The gelding should appreciate returning to somewhat calmer waters here. Feet Of A Dancer, winner of both her previous starts at this venue, looks a mare on the upgrade. The Paul Nolan-trained five-year-old ran a big race when third in an ultra competitive mares handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival last time. The Greek would be of definite interest on his return to hurdling if fit after an absence.
By John O'Riordan - Having finished runner-up on her last two starts, TINGARRAN EXPRESS can get back to winning ways. The Denise O'Shea-trained mare beat a subsequent winner at Clonmel in April, before finding just one too good on her most recent outings. A strong traveller, the seven-year-old should be right at home around this tight track. The lightly raced Bigira ran her best race to date latest when staying on to finish third of 14 at Kilbeggan. Mark Fahey's mare shouldn't be too far away here. Toon Town, who kept on strongly after the last when a nearest at the finish third here earlier this month, is another that should make his presence felt in what looks a competitive affair for the grade.
By John O'Riordan - SUNWALK may improve sufficiently from his recent reappearance fifth over course and distance to play a leading role. The Seamus Neville-trained six-year-old was always prominent and only weakened from the second last flight. With that run under his belt, the gelding should be that bit sharper now. Although an infrequent winner, Future Proof has to enter calculations for the in-form Philip Rothwell stable. Twice successful on the level, the nine-year-old has yet to add to his sole win over hurdles. He will find few easier opportunities than the one he is presented with here. Mullins Cross has been running well enough of late to suggest that she, too, can get involved at the business end.
By John O'Riordan - With the Paul Nolan string having really hit form in the last couple of weeks, CUT THE ROPE could gain his first success over hurdles. A bumper win at Naas on his racecourse debut last January, the five-year-old has twice filled the runner-up position since going jumping. Having run really well in a maiden on the flat last time, the son of Sea The Stars looks the one to beat. Dual French winner Innatendue has yet to get her head in front in this country but has shaped with promise on more than one occasion. The John McConnell-trained mare appears to have leading claims. Slim Marvel, who only lost out by a nose at this track last November, shouldn't be far away on her return visit.
By John O'Riordan - Despite having questions to answer now after failing to complete on his three most recent starts, the Paul Nolan-trained JOYEUX MACHIN looks the one to beat. Twice a winner at this venue, the seven-year-old seems to reserve his best for his local track where he rarely runs a bad race. Antrim Coast was just denied over this trip at Cheltenham in October, having won his maiden over 2m4f on his previous start. The Gavin Cromwell-trained six-year-old has leading claims. Oscars Brother was impressive when winning his maiden hurdle over this distance at Limerick before running respectably in two subsequent starts. The more rain that comes the stronger his chances of providing Connor King with a first winner in the training ranks.
By John O'Riordan - MAHLER APPEAL, a winner here over fences on his latest start, appeals off a 12lb lower mark back over flights. The Garrett Power-trained eight-year-old was recording a first win under rules but he had previously been successful in a point-to-point. With his stamina assured and a proven liking for this trip, the gelding looks a leading contender under Sean Flanagan. Three By Two, who finished runner-up in the La Touche last time, should appreciate this lesser emphasis on stamina. The mare is relatively lightly raced under rules so has scope for improvement. Recent course and distance winner Plain Or Battered has an additional 7lb to carry as a result but should again be competitive.
By John O'Riordan - The locally trained LOVELY HURLING can win this finale for Colm Murphy. Although only seventh on his recent racecourse debut at Fairyhouse, the gelding could have finished much closer but for a bad mistake two out. It would be no surprise to see him take a significant step forward here under John Gleeson. Dacman, a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Sir Gerhard, has to be of obvious interest. Willie Mullins does particularly well with the horses he runs in bumpers at this track so the hint should be taken. Point-to-point winner Mic Drop made an encouraging introduction when third at Tipperary recently. He should appreciate stepping up an additional two furlongs now.
- This does not appear to be the deepest of contests and that could provide UNTHINKABLE with a solid chance of breaking her maiden. The daughter of Kessaar has produced a consistent level of form across her three starts so far and any further improvement could make her difficult to beat. Stat Goddess, runner-up at Catterick six days ago, looks to be the main danger, while Cheerleader rates best of the rest.
- The draw has been kind to recent C&D winner POWDERING, who won with plenty in hand at Newmarket 12 days ago. A subsequent 6lb rise could be lenient and the daughter of Ribchester is taken to complete her hat-trick. Evocative Spark drops in class having hit the frame from an unpromising position at Chester three weeks ago and he is a real danger, along with fellow class-dropper Challet.
- Get Jiggy With It sets the standard with an official rating of 77 and though she merits respect, PUELLA LAW shades preference. Twice a runner-up over C&D, she can put that previous track experience to good use in this maiden. Sea The Stars filly Celestial Wave warrants a market check ahead of her racecourse bow, while Naepoint should not be underestimated either.
- She's Got Bottle is looking for her hat-trick after wins at Pontefract and over C&D, but an added 5lb and a step up in class may prove beyond her. Mick Appleby has won this twice in the last four years making C&D winner and recent second Beltane a force to reckoned with, but ZOZIMUS is preferred. Only beaten a short head in a better race at Newmarket last time, he looks all set to go one better for a stable in form.
- Rayena has her first start for Richard Fahey and has plenty of placed form to her name, but she remains a maiden and may have to settle for a supporting role. Chepstow second Star Of St James will have his supporters and could also go well, but a chance is taken on the lightly-raced PEROVSKIA. She has shown signs of ability at both Wetherby and Chepstow on the turf before a poor run at Southwell, and could be well treated ahead of her handicap debut.
- Ski Jump could be interesting if he gets the trip on his first start for owner/trainer Tina Jackson, but he hasn't been in action since September last year and that may count against him. CLOUDY ROSE won this last year off a mark of 48 and, although a winner last time out at Brighton, she races here off just 4lb higher. She might win again under Gina Mangan, with Twoforthegutter another to consider.
- Defence Treaty, Jamih and Laudable all have something to recommend them and each warrant a betting check at the very least. However, none appeal more than GOLDEN ECHO, who is open to any amount of progression and, following a promising third-placed finish on her first attempt over 1m4f in a deeper race at Leicester 18 days ago, the daughter of Golden Horn makes strong appeal.
- Open to more improvement than many of her rivals, OPAL STORM could be worth chancing after an encouraging fourth-placed finish over this course and distance 15 days ago. The Brian Rothwell-trained filly outran huge odds with a first-time tongue-tie added that day and, given it was her first start since last September, the handicapper has given her a chance off 1lb lower. Yazaman, King Of The Jungle and Stallone can all give the selection plenty to think about.
- HAARAR has been busy of late switching between codes and he must hold every chance on the back of a taking success at Southwell last time. A 7lb penalty will make life tougher, but he should have too much for Eaton Anne, who showed plenty of promise himself when third at the same track on his Rules debut. Kingston Narcissus is another open to improvement on just his second start for the Rebecca Menzies yard.
- Not seen in action since getting off the mark in this sphere at Uttoxeter last July, GEORGE MALLORY could be the one to be with on his return. The eight-year-old is the only last-time-out winner in the field, and he may have enough to see off Callin Baton Rouge, who performed with some credit when second over further at Fontwell. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Bushmill Boy, Calevade and My Brother Jack.
- A highly-progressive sort last year, IMPERIAL DATA returned from a 202-day absence with a decent effort at Hexham when staying on late in the day for fifth. That gave the distinct impression he would enjoy a step up in trip and he gets that opportunity now, with the unexposed Tactical Affair looking best placed to chase him home. Hurricane Ali and Our Laura B cannot be ruled out either.
- ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN had excuses for being well beaten in this grade at Kelso earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 4lb for that effort. Ben Haslam's veteran lurks on an appealing mark and he gets the nod, with his main threat possibly being Boomslang, who finished second in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time and could remain competitive back in the handicap ranks. Of the remainder, Finisk River makes the most appeal under Brian Hughes.
- AUGHARUE had Libby (third) behind when only denied by a short head into second at Sedgefield last time and he is only 3lb higher for that display. Stuart Coltherd's seven-year-old could prove tough to beat if he runs to the level again. His main danger might be Sword Of Fate, who was beaten just over a length when attempting to make all over 2m4f at Perth on his latest outing and he should remain competitive off the same mark, while Guillaume is another to note.
- Useful hurdler DREAL DEAL has found his stride over the larger obstacles of late and despite having to concede 19lb all round, John McConnell's gelding is hard to oppose. The way in which he travelled into contention at Wexford 11 days ago would suggest he has plenty more in the locker, and he's preferred to Glynn, who should be more streetwise having unseated on his fencing bow last month. Kilta can chase the pair home.
- GABORIOT arrives in better form than when filling the runner-up spot in this race 12 months ago, having won at Cheltenham recently. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero's gelding must hold every chance, although the Hexham winner Jerrysback should give him plenty to think about. Amenon was on target at Huntingdon eight days ago and he is no back number, while Windsor Avenue must also enter calculations.
- East Tyrone disappointed on fast going at Beverley last time, although better can be expected here and he's preferred to stablemate Lucius Aurelius. The remaining trio are all newcomers to note, with MR COOL taken to edge out Death Or Glory and Milford in a tight contest, given that Charlie Johnston's colt is a full-brother to a couple of Listed winners.
- EBONY MAW scored over this trip at Ayr last month when fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time. He made all to beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and can defy a 2lb rise with the promise of more come. Bustaam showed signs of a return to form when third at Haydock and can go well again, while Two Auld Pals returns to the Flat having won over hurdles in March and is preferred to stablemate Jaminoz.
- Judgementofsolomon has been raised 7lb for winning a lower grade contest at Wolverhampton, while Doncaster winner Contacto went close to landing a double when just missing out at Chester last time. The latter looks sure to make his presence felt once again, but LOVE SAFARI arrives on the back of a promising reappearance at Newcastle when just failing to catch the winner. Further progress can be expected now handicapping for the first time and he gets the vote.
- Catherine Chroi has won five of her seven starts since joining Iain Jardine and is a key player. However, the mare is upped in class here and a new mark of 73 demands yet another personal best. With that in mind, a chance if taken on LAHAB, who is open to a great deal of improvement on just his third start over this trip. Last-time-out winners Iris Dancer and Havana Rum also command respect.
- Already a four-time course winner, ARKENSTAAR held on gamely to score over C&D 24 days ago and his will to win earns him the vote off just 1lb higher. Black Friday was third in that race and has to be feared given his was less than a length behind the selection at the line. Recent Ayr winner Vellner also needs serious consideration despite being 3lb higher.
- LEDGER (first) and We Still Believe (second) were the first two across the line in a similar race over the extended mile here 12 days ago and, given the former wasn't showing any signs of stopping, he can cement his authority and follow up off just a 4lb higher mark. There could also be more to come from Sea Girt, who reverts to turf on a handy mark and warrants close inspection in the betting on his first start back after wind surgery.
- EMBARKED put in a bold display from the front to only be beaten two lengths into second at Newmarket earlier in the month and he goes off an unchanged rating. James Fanshawe's six-year-old should have no issues with the step back up in trip and he can go one better. Kynsa hit the frame at Thirsk on her latest outing and first-time cheekpieces could eke out more, so she has to be respected. Uncle Dick is another to note.
- MELISENDE was denied by just under a length into second on her handicap debut at Yarmouth last month and she goes off the same mark. With William Buick booked and the possibility of more to come, she could prove very hard to beat. The main threat is Bint Havana Gold, who hit the frame over C&D last time and it would be no surprise to see her get involved, while Soldier's Class is another to consider.
- Eternal Spring (sixth) can overturn the form with Lady Flora (fifth) from their meeting over 7f here last month, as that was the former's debut effort and she has shown improvement to finish third the last twice. However, they could both be up against it to deny CERVARO DELLA SALA, who occupied the runner-up spot over 7f at Lingfield last time and should have no issues with this drop in distance. The daughter of Bungle Inthejungle has plenty of experience and can put that to good use.
- CHANGE SINGS was always in control when scoring from the front at Newmarket recently and a 4lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to follow up at a track where he is unbeaten in two starts. A winner of four of his last five outings, Buraback is another who arrives in top form and must surely go close along with One More Wave, who has strong claims on his penultimate second over C&D.
- Sire Blue Point has been having a good time of things recently and it can pay to side with his newcomer INGOT, whose mother Integral won her first two starts. The Cheveley Park-owned colt is narrowly preferred to Cavallo Bay, who is by star juvenile Pinatubo, who recently sired his first winner at York. The Ralph Beckett stable can do little wrong at present and Chelsea Embankment is another to note.
- Sayifyouwill makes the shortlist with her four C&D victories, the latest off 2lb higher. Bigger Than Giga won her maiden here and is another to take seriously after her Yarmouth third, but FAIR ANGELLICA could be the one. The winner of her first three starts, she was only beaten a length at Goodwood off 2lb lower where the soft ground appeared to blunt her speed, so a return to the all-weather could be ideal.
- MRS TWIG came unstuck in this grade when fourth at Newbury off the same mark, but she won over C&D last month and may get back to winning ways returning to the all-weather. Gold Aura deserves a win after numerous placed efforts and is hard to ignore, though Red Dwarf gets on well with Silvestre De Sousa and could be the bigger danger sitting at the bottom of the handicap.
- Many of these would need to improve on what they've shown so far, and that could pave the way for WALK OF THE ROSES to make a successful return. The Fontwell bumper winner was far from disgraced when second under a penalty at Uttoxeter in June, but she can improve now sent hurdling. Cindysox finished a creditable third at Huntingdon on her hurdles bow last month and she is the main danger, while Hurst Hill completes the shortlist.
- JUNIPER finished a decent third at Cheltenham when attempting to complete a hat-trick last month. The forecast slower ground should be in her favour here, as is the drop in class, and with cheekpieces applied for the first-time, she could find a bit more. Champagne Court has been knocking on the door in recent starts and must enter the reckoning, along with the largely consistent Investment Manager.
- Coconut Twist was a commanding winner of a Larkhill point-to-point in January and he merits respect on his first start for the Daisy Hitchins team, but a chance is taken on HOLD YOUR FORT. A multiple winner between the flags, he shaped as if in need of the outing when fifth over hurdles on the back of an absence 22 days ago. Chasing ought to be more his bag and it would be no surprise were he to step forward. I Shut That D'or is also noted.
- With precious little recent winning form on offer, it may pay to side with MONJULES with Megan Bevan claiming a valuable 7lb. With four wins over hurdles and a good Plumpton second last November to his name, the six-year-old failed to see out the trip last time out and has been found a more suitable contest. Trump Lady in entitled to improve for her first run in over two years when eighth at Warwick and could follow the selection home, leaving Silver Shade as next best.
- No Getaway won this contest last year by nearly eight lengths and he arrives here after a third last time out at Kempton, leaving him with more to do. He meets runner-up Duc De Bourbon on the same terms, while YCCS PORTOCERVO won that Kempton event comfortably after a fine display of jumping and looks set to confirm the form.
- A tricky race to call but the penny seems to have dropped for OUR DYLAN, who has only needed to be pushed out to win at Hereford and Stratford recently. Another 6lb from the handicapper may not stop him from securing a hat-trick. Hillsin is an obvious danger if he improves on his second start after wind-surgery but top-weight looks an anchor, while Timeforarum could surprise a few on his handicap debut over what may prove to be his ideal trip.
- BORRACHO was successful by three lengths over 6f at Philadelphia last time and he can follow up. Where Is Mike and Dunphy could give him the most to think about.
- DONEGAL DANNY was well held in fifth in a much deeper contest than this at Penn National on his latest outing, but he can take advantage of this much lower level. Bar Down Express and Storm Cat Eyes are also worthy of consideration.
- WIN DIXIE RONNIE bounced back to form when occupying the runner-up spot over 7f at Tampa Bay Downs last time and she can make her first start at this track a successful one. Kitty Quick and Roubaix could also have a say.
- DEEP FAITH is just about given the nod over Zipper Zapper on this occasion. Lead Off could also go well at these weights and get the better of Ghost Stalker in the race for third.
- MINTENON looks to be the only runner here on some sort of upward curve and gets the vote. Word For Word drops in class and could go well, alongside the lightly-raced Hendrickson.
- Tweet Away Robin is entitled to go very close but may have to give way to ABOVE PAR, who won a better race in April and has had a month off to recover from her latest second. Del Rey Dolly is also considered.
- LAGONISI must hold every chance if bouncing back to the form that saw her win easily over C&D on debut. She can get the better of Downtown Katie and Golden Heart.
- ARMY CADET merits plenty of respect as he looks to get off the mark at the eighth time of asking. His chief threats look to be Nanga Parbat and Timo.
- With very little form to work with it may pay to side with NATIVE REQUITE here after his career-best second last time out. Any further progress could see him get the better of Streakin Deacon, Dream Time and Zapaway.
- More Ice hasn't been at his best lately and it may prove sensible to side with CHIEF CHEETAH here after his comfortable recent wins, though he will need to transfer that level to the turf. Ezmosh and Awe Shackle are others to consider.
- STARRY EYED showed a fair amount of ability when finishing sixth in a much deeper contest than this at Fair Grounds in December and this looks like a good opportunity. Allonanita'sluck and newcomer Heavenly Deal could also get involved.
- ZOOM ERIN could be hard to stop if at her best, while Dare To Wish and Essential Business are also noted.
- A tentative vote can go to MID WEST FUN, who would not need to find much progress having shown promise on debut. On The Money Luv and debutant Dees Little Girl complete the shortlist.
- Having struck the woodwork on his latest outing, PRINCE PERFECTA can go one better at the main expense of Saucer Eyes. Metronome is also noted.
- MS CARROLL COUNTY was narrowly denied at Oaklawn on her latest outing and she looks to hold every chance eased considerably in class. Kentucky Cajun and Notable Queen head the list of dangers.
- DON'T CROSS ALEXIS may prove to be the best of these newcomers. Lithica has a recent bullet workout under her belt, while Buckeye Blue and Lady Loves Money are others to note.
- LEFT ON BOYLSTON has been competing in more valuable maiden races than this so far and he may prove the one to side. Blue Soldier and Elevated Causeway are likely to give the selection the most to think about.
- RUSTY MY BROTHER was nowhere near her best on a recent reappearance, but she beat Forgotten Peace when scoring here last autumn. Krispy Rice could go well if rediscovering her best form.
- SWITCHRATTLENROLL has been knocking on the door of late and she can strike on the drop in trip. That may be at the main expense of Cinco De Mandee and Tudor Peak.
- Now that the penny has dropped for GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME there could be much more to come from her, and she is preferred to Path To Victory and Sweet Nola.
- LITTLE MISS MUNNY has shown enough in recent starts to suggest that she can get off the mark at the eighth time of asking. Carina Nebula and Two Lucys are likely to be thereabouts.
- STARSHIP EMPIRE was in flying form when last seen, winning two on the bounce, and he could make a successful return. Gins And Tins and Tony Small are feared most.
- This can go to ATROCIOUS, who has shown more than enough at a higher level to suggest he can score now eased in grade. Chaste One is feared most, while I'm The Cabana Boy might prove best of the newcomers.
- G T Three Fifty and Uneedtocomehome are key players but RAISE THE PURSES takes a significant drop in class and this could be a good time to catch the five-year-old.
- Halo Effect and Crystal M both have something going for them at this level but MAP TO MY HEART appeals most based on some solid form last year.
- Maybetheone commands respect, while Pride And Attitude is highly consistent and is a threat to all. However, NATIONAL DIAMOND is hard to oppose after an emphatic eight-length stroll over C&D last time out.
- EXTRA CRAFTY tries her luck in a less valuable claimer having finished runner-up back in March with Appalachian Spirit back in third. She's taken to open her account in this with Thirty Something perhaps proving the main danger.
- FLIPPING FISH had the measure of Ian Glass and Rockstar Ro when scoring here earlier in the month. He's likely to prove the one to beat once again on the strength of that form.
- ROLL ON MAX posted his best effort so far when runner-up over track and trip last time. Any further progress should see him off the mark at the main expense of D J's First Step and Bumpkin.
- FEELING EASY finished ahead of a few of these when hitting the frame over C&D last time out, and she is taken to confirm those placings en route to victory. Dolce Marie and Beautiful Score head the remainder.
- A weak contest in which preference is for DREAMINGABOUTTIME, who has shown enough in recent starts to suggest he could land a race of this nature. Cinsault and Swayback Mobil might not be far away.
