5/1

Comment: The winner of his first two starts for Mick Appleby last summer (both 6f on good to firm) and although he could only manage fifth at Newbury when last seen (7f, good to firm), he did best of the prominent racers and the form is rock solid; dropping back to 6f looks the right move and he still looks favourably treated; had a wind op (his second) since last seen.

5/1

Comment: Ex-Irish filly who has run four solid races since joining this yard, the latest when a close third at Haydock three weeks ago (7f, good to firm); often travels strongly and a well-run race at this trip could be ideal; one to consider.

1 tip

7/1

Comment: He has run three creditable races in defeat this year and getting back in a strongly-run handicap should be more suitable than the small-field Doncaster event in which he finished fourth two weeks ago; won't need the new visor to make much of an impact to play a starring role.

10/1

Comment: Career-best effort when winning at Thirsk on his return to action last month (well backed; visored first time); similar form when fourth at Ripon three weeks ago but that run does suggest his mark is about right; blinkers now back on.

3 tips

11/1

Comment: Promise on turf and although his four wins have come on AW, it's likely that a wind operation as much as the surface was the key to his progress in late 2024; has his first run for Ivan Furtado after 173 days off but off a mark 9lb lower than his AW one; interesting.

12/1

Comment: Prominent racer for former connections, making all in a 6f handicap at Windsor last summer (blinkered first time); not at his best on AW on last three starts, sold for 14,000gns after the latest of them in January; new yard likely to find the key to this C&D winner at some point; the betting should guide if it's expected to be today; cheekpieces replace blinkers this time.

Comment: His three wins have come at 5f, the latest at Beverley 18 days ago (good to firm), but he is effective at an easy 6f; yet to win above Class 5 though and this is more competitive than most races of its type.

Beale Street

Jockey: D Nolan Trainer: Bryan Smart Age/Wt: 4/9-8 F: 15-313 OR: 77

20/1

Comment: 0-6 on turf as opposed to 3-10 on AW but that doesn't give a true reflection of him as his improvement this winter coincided with a drop to sprinting (last two turf runs over 1m1f and 1m on soft ground); still needs a career best to win a race of this nature though.

Comment: 72,000euros yearling; seventh foal; half-brother to winners Delmona (Group-placed 5f 2yo/US 6.5f; RPR 101) and Kentish Waltz (French 5f/6f including 2yo; 84); dam 6f 2yo winner (82), out of 6f 2yo Listed winner; trainer saddles two newcomers and the betting could be informative.

20/1

Comment: Has a useful pedigree and his inexperience was evident when fifth of seven at 14-1 on last month's debut at Pontefract (5f, good); open to improvement but needs a sizeable step forward in this warm race.

Comment: 8,000gns yearling; fifth foal; closely related to stable's 1m winner Gatecrasher Girl (RPR 87); dam 6f 2yo winner (83), half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Kodi Bear; this Lope Y Fernandez newcomer may be one for later on.

Auspicious

Comment: Third foal; dam 7f-1m2f winner (including 2yo; RPR 72); half-sister to stable's useful winners Isla Kai (7f/1m including 2yo) and Archie Perkins (1m-1m2f including 2yo); trainer's 2yos usually need their debut outings.

Jockey: S H James Trainer: K. R. Burke Age/Wt: 2/9-5 F: 5

Comment: Form has taken off since dropped to sprinting, winning twice last summer and getting off the mark for 2025 with a good win at Ripon five weeks ago, strong at the finish despite looking ill at ease on the track; up 5lb but doubt he's reached his ceiling and Ryan Moore is an eyecatching booking.

Comment: Capable of smart handicap form in 2022 and 2023 (RPR 102); ended 2023 tamely though and no sign of a revival in three runs last year; not a solid option but it's possible a change of stable could have freshened him up and he's thrown in if that's the case.

Comment: Didn't fulfil potential for Charles Hills but he has created a positive impression in two runs for his new connections this year, shaping as though the run was needed at Pontefract (6f, good) last month before an easy win at Thirsk two weeks ago (5f, good to firm); up 8lb against a much higher calibre of opposition but he's unexposed at 5f so not passed over lightly.

Comment: Has a good record on AW and the form of her front-running Kempton win (6f) nine weeks ago is strong; still well treated up 3lb and she's quick enough to deal with the drop to 5f; hasn't had enough chances on turf to pigeonhole her as an AW specialist but this is a stronger race than she's used to.

50/1

Comment: Left last summer's in-frame 2yo form behind when making a winning reappearance in 7f Catterick novice (good to firm) 19 days ago; it's hard to argue an opening mark of 83 looks generous but he has the potential for better again and his pedigree (dam 1m2f winner) provides hope the much longer trip could be within range.

Comment: Three 7f AW wins last year; showed he's trained on when second over 1m1f at Musselburgh (good) last month but well held at Chester (1m4f) and Newmarket (1m2f) since; this looks a tough ask.

Comment: Last turf win came off an 11lb higher mark at Newmarket in August 2022 (6f, good to firm) but has won twice on AW since (6f/7f); sound run when close third to Delicacy over C&D last time last time (good to firm) and although 2lb higher is one with a chance.
