Hamadhan ran well on his final start for Johnny Murtagh at Dundalk when third to Edward Hamilton over this trip. The third has franked the form and has not been seen for 230 days, which is the only negative for me, and the odds negate that. Stable switch to Jennie Candish, who has been among the winners in the last fortnight. When third on the last run the trip was the same as today, as was the good ground. 4PL

Al Qareem could well be up to winning another Group 3 race this season after winning a Listed race recently and winning two last season at York and Ascot. He will have the fitness edge over the three above him in the market and tends to back up his races after a win. It only takes one of the top three to disappoint for Al Qareem to take advantage of and at least get a place. Also will handle the course, being a course-and-distance winner. EW 3PL

Bells Of Ufford ran a solid race last time at Chepstow in the same grade race as today, C5. She was never going to win, but Inionn Tiogair, who did win that race, has backed it up with another win at the course. So the form looks OK for the grade, and that day Bells Of Ufford was returning from a 90-day absence, so she could strip fitter today.

Yashin, now a 7-year-old, produced his best run first time out last season when winning a Group 3 over 2 miles on good-to-firm ground. Maybe that's the time to catch him, and the form seemed to dip after the initial run. I don't really consider Michael Bell as a trainer of handicap winners, and I don't really back aged handicappers either. But Yashin is relatively low mileage and is a decent place price. 4PL

Probably her best run was 3rd in a Group 3 at Ascot. The ground went against her on her final run when she was disappointing at Sandown. The trainer is in good form, 4-21, and the booking of Rossa Ryan is a major plus.

Top weight, so the best horse in the race, rated 150. Has won a Beginners' Chase at the course on soft ground over 2m 6f in February 2025. Ran well in the Aintree Grand National, finishing 5th after making mistakes and not quite seeing out the 4m+ trip. Calmer waters today, but still a very competitive race. The weight doesn't worry me too much, as the victory at Punchestown proved he can win with that weight. There may well be something better handicapped, but he has place claims from the maestro trainer.

First try at National Hunt distances seemed to be going well until he fell at the ninth. He just seemed to stumble on landing and the jockey went out the side door. He was a fancied 13/2 chance that day and looks third string here for Willie Mullins on market prices. He has only had six chase runs and has been placed twice. Probably would not be a selection if he wasn't influenced by the trainer, who often gets winners with the second, third, or fourth string (maybe more). 5PL

Elan Dor proved a few things last season, mainly that he stays 1 mile, winning a Kempton C4 after previous wins at 7 furlongs at Chelmsford. It's interesting that although the winning form is all on the All-Weather, he has already raced at Newmarket 4 times. Form reads (5-3-0-2). So Elan Dor needs to transfer his All-Weather form to the turf, and if he can, he must have a say in the finish. I also like the jockey booking of Clifford Lee for Stuart Williams. 3Pl

The trainer can't take credit for Busselton winning this race last year, but now under his care maybe he can bounce back, as he has been out of form a little bit this season. Record at the track reads well (1-2-1-2-5) and stays marathon trips on good/yielding ground.
