Grosvenor Square sets the standard on RPRs but he comes here without a prep run and only 4 of the last 21 winners came here without a prep run. Agenda may look the 2nd string but he won really nicely at Dundalk on re-appearance, striding out well through the final furlong. That was an impressive performance in light of the fact he is not actually 3 years old until 31st of this month! He won going away and while his full brother Subzero didn’t race beyond 10f, he only raced 4 times and was staying on nicely at the end of that last run. Agenda has a lovely long stride and drawn in stall 3, he should be able to jump and get into his stride. The further they went at Dundalk, the better he looked so this trip should be ideal. At around 6/1, he is fancied to upset his better fancied stable companion and looks the value bet.

-100

Seaward created a good impression when scoring on her 2nd run at Ascot last September. She jumped out and made all, striding out nicely on the good ground. She has a fluent fast action so is likely to be best on a sound surface. She looked as if she was going to be swallowed up when challenged by Climate Action over 1f out but she showed a willing attitude and kept on well to score. She was then pitched in to the Group 1 Fillies Mile at Newmarket where she found the heavy ground totally against her, constantly changing her legs. To her credit she was still there 2f out before the ground got too much for her and she dropped tamely away. That is by far the best race on offer from today’s runners. She comes here in preference to the Lingfield Oaks Trial on Friday and looks way overpriced at around 12/1. She rates the Nap of the day.

Therapist was useful on the Flat with an OR of 81. While she has only won one race in her life, she has optimum conditions today. Her 3 qualifying runs have come on soft or good to soft and she gets good ground for the first time over hurdles today. She looks to have a potentially generous opening handicap mark and considering that she was contesting Class 2 and 3 handicaps on the Flat last summer, this should be her easiest task to date. In addition, her latest run was during the Henderson ‘lean’ spell, and they are in better form now. She sets the standard on form and could prove to be on a very generous mark. The yard has a good strike rate here (30%) and at around 15/8, she rates the value bet.

The 2 who set that standard on form, Asian Start and Roaring Home, both finished a similar distance behind the Harry Fry trained Anno Power in NHFs about 2 months apart so there should be little between those 2. However, they both have plenty of stamina in their pedigrees so may find this 2m sharp enough. Gale Mahler was well backed from 9/4 to 6/5 on her debut at Sedgefield. That race was run at a crawl which would not have suited and the ground was rather soft. Being out of a Presenting mare, she is likely to be better suited by today’s better ground and now wears cheekpieces. The yard doesn’t have too many runners over jumps but when they do, Henry Brooke is the ‘go to’ jockey and is 4-11 (4 places) in the past 5 years and he is on board today. At around 17/2, she rates a sporting each way Nap of the day.

A handful of promising types who will be seen to better effect over fences further down the line. Old Time Chaser was 3rd in an Irish PTP, the form of which has worked out very well. He made his debut at Ascot back in March at a time when the yard was going through a bad spell. That was over 2m3.5f and it looked as if that was plenty sharp enough for him. He will be suited by the step up to today’s trip and the yard has a very good record at the track, with 11-33 in the past 5 seasons and he is their only runner today. Patriotik will also relish the step back up in trip but giving weight to the selection may prove a tough ask. At around 5/2, he looks the value bet.

This lightly raced 6yo has had a fairly light career over jumps due to a nasty injury sustained as a juvenile. He is now 15lb below his opening handicap mark as he makes his chasing debut. At one time, favourite for the Triumph Hurdle in his day, he has been taking on better opposition than this in his 4 hurdle races last season, taking in Class 2 and 3 handicaps. Now drops to a Class 4 for his chasing debut but if he can get anywhere near his hurdles form then he must go close here. At around 10/3, he is worth an interest on chasing debut.

Ideal Des Bordes sets the standard and a line can be put through his las run when the yard was going through a lean spell. He has since had a wind op and he is sure to do better today. However, the Nicholls trained Fasol takes the eye. He showed up well in Listed and a Group 3 event in France on the Flat so the 2m trip on hurdles debut will have been sharp enough for him. He has been given a 3 month break to get over that hurdles debut and now stepping up to 2m 5f, he is sure to give a better account. At around 2/1, he is the one to be on.

It often pays to lead at Beverley and with the inside stall, Princess Alex is ideally drawn to repeat her forcing tactics from Haydock last time out. If she jumps from the stalls as she did at Haydock, she should be able to get to the inside rail and will take a deal of catching. Her win was on heavy ground so the soft ground today should be no issue. In addition, her win was in a Class 4 and she now drops to a Class 5. At around 2/1, she is the one to be on.

I’ve been waiting for Miss Ghillie making her handicap debut and she gets that today. She has plenty of stamina in her pedigree and her best run was over a similar trip at Hereford when she finished 5th albeit well beaten. She followed up at Lingfield on pretty soft ground when she only beat one home. Has since been given almost 3 months off and starts off a fair mark of 82. She has been nibbled at in the market this morning and at around 14/1, she rates a sporting each way Nap of the day.

Charlie Mason finished behind Kiss And Run on re-appearance at Bath but he fly jumped out of the stalls losing a few lengths. He had to be switched over 1f out and kept on nicely to the line. The extra half furlong will suit him here so while only 1lb better off, there is likely to be a good pace with both Kiss And Run and Different Breed likely to dictate. With only 5 runners, Rossa should be able to put him where he wants him and he will be staying on well at the finish. He acts on soft ground so has a lot in his favour. At around 11/4, he is the one to be on.

He is said to be being aimed at Royal Ascot so likely to be going there unbeaten. The Aiden O’Brien yard has not kicked into form as yet this year and while Whistlejcket is likely to be better suited by this trip, I would rather see the yard in better form.

City Of Troy is a worthy favourite but favourites don’t have a great recent record in this race. In addition, his win in the Dewhurst was on soft ground and the subsequent runs of the 3rd and 4th hardly smack of being beaten by a superstar. At the odds, I would rather take him on. Richard Hannon is very keen on the chances of Rosallion and he is sure to give a good account. However, being by top sprinter Blue Point, whose progeny are mainly about speed, I’m not convinced he will be suited by a stiff 8f. The one for me is Iberian. We know that Rosallion was beaten by the softer ground when behind Iberian at Doncaster but Iberian is said to be unsuited by soft ground also. Yes, Iberian was well behind City Of Troy in the Dewhurst that was on soft ground, but again, he is expected to be seen in better light on today’s better ground. He has been to Newmarket for a racecourse gallop and at around 40/1, Iberian is seen as a sporting each way Nap of the day.

A competitive handicap but the need to be handy at this track has been emphasised even more so far this season. The one to take the eye is Charles Hills’ Rabaah who has been aimed at this race all year. He has not raced since last June due to various problems, but Hills is confident that they have been ironed out now. He has only seen the track 5 times so he should still have scope for improvement. He is considered a Pattern racer so if he is a Group horse lurking in a handicap then today could be the day to catch him. At around 7/1, he looks a solid each way bet.

Indian Creak comes here having dropped back to his last winning mark of 87. He showed good speed to lead up the centre of the course on re-appearance at Newbury before being headed over 1f out and weakening quickly in the final furlong though he was not given a hard time once his chance had gone. He will come on for the run. He has been dropped 2lb for that run and today has regular rider Rose Dawes back on board claiming a further 5lb off his back. Last season he won on his 2nd run on soft ground at Windsor making all to score by 3.5l. He was 2nd twice from 2 runs in May the year before and 1-1 in May the season before that so he is clearly a Spring horse. He should be able to dictate fractions from his low draw and could take some pegging back. The yard is bang in form with 6-24 in the past 14 days including their last 2 runners. At around 18/1, he looks way overpriced and is a solid each way Nap of the day.

Zaphea is turned out again just 4 days after her seasonal re-appearance where she raced very keenly, leading until inside the final furlong when her exertions took their toll. That should have taken the freshness out of her and with Mulrennan retaining the ride, he will know her better today. With the rail to race against, she can jump out and make all. Hopefully, she will settle better today and if she does can make every post a winning post. At around 4/1, she is a sound each way bet.

Circus Lion has been all the rage in the early exchanges this morning and looks sure to give a good account. However, this is his first run since last September and he did hang left throughout on his 2nd run last year so I wouldn’t want to be on at a short price and he does have a few lbs to find. The one for me is Northerner who ran with promise on debut last year despite an awful run throughout. She was slowly into stride and was soon faced with a bend where she dropped to the back of the field. One by one she had to be switched around every runner before staying on well to the line without being knocked about. She finished behind Obligatory on re-appearance but again had to be switched over 1f out by which time the winner had flown. She has a quick action so she will better suited to today’s sound surface. She gets weight from her 2 main market rivals and despite being on the drift looks overpriced at around 6/1 and warrants each way support to finish in the first 2.

Coko Beach is the class act and clearly sets the standard here. However, he has yet to win at this trip though his 3 attempts have been in the Grand National. He has run in that race for the last 3 years and he usually re-appears at Limerick the following October. It is only 19 days since he ran at Aintree so at the odds I would rather look elsewhere. Enda Bolger has won this 14 times in the past so Birchdale is respected though he has yet to prove he stays this far. This is often won by a veteran with a 14yo and 15yo winning in the past 10 years. Vital Island won this last year and comes here relatively fresh. He has plenty of experience of this track and his jockey knows him. At around 20/1, he rates a sporting each way bet.

An extremely modest and disappointing bunch but the one that jumps out is Vellner. His trainer has only ever sent two horses to Ayr, one won & the other was 2nd. He showed some decent form in his earlier days in Ireland before joining his current yard. He has tried a variety of distance in his last 6 runs from 8f to 12f but his best recent run was 2 starts back over 8f at Kempton when a 4l 5th. Last time over 10f on soft ground at Doncaster he weakened out of it in the final 2f so a return to 8f should suit. With only 6 runners and an experienced rider back on board, he should be able to sit where he wants and at around 9/2 in such a poor race, is a sporting bet.

This looks an ideal opportunity for Sycamore Gap to finally get off the mark. This ex-Godolphin inmate cost 200,000 guineas as a yearling although he didn’t see the track for them. He was backed in to favourite on course debut in a 2m NHF on turf at Newcastle where he travelled strongly until 3f out so we know the ground is fine. Has since had 5 runs on the AW with the 2nd of which he was noted making good late headway through the final furlong to be nearest at the finish over 8f. Eventually upped to 9.5f at Wolves last time, he again travelled strongly out the back in a race run at a crawl so was never going to land a blow on top of which he was very weak in the market, 9/1 from 9/2. That was his handicap debut and he has been dropped 1lb for that. Hollie now takes the mount and with a likely decent pace on here and a small field, she should be able to get a clear run and is likely to be staying on strongly at the finish. At around 10/3, he is the Nap of the day.

Lee comes here for only 2 rides and is in a rich vein of form with a 27% strike rate in the past 14 days. Stately Home has been kept busy on the AW this Winter before a fair 4th at Windsor 2 weeks ago.

Woolhampton sets the standard on RPRs and that is before the 7lb claim of Oliver Searle who knows her well.

In addition, her usual blinkers were left off last time but are back on today. She has run 3 times over CD and has yet to be out of the first 3.

Jasour could do with the rain staying away as he is definitely better on a sound surface. That said, it is described as good to soft on the straight course with just the final furlong softening up. He was impressive when landing the Group 2 July Stakes at HQ last summer, quickening up from last place to win going away. Jim Crowley, who rode him, said that holding him up had been the making of him. He then was well beaten in 2 Group 1s in August and September. The first, he made the running on very soft ground at Deauville then pulled far too hard in the Middle Park so he had nothing left at the finish and he was allowed to come home in his own time. There should be a good pace on here which should allow him to settle and Jim Crowley is back on for the first time since his Newmarket win last July. Provided he doesn’t encounter traffic problems, he can be produced late to take this on the way the Commonwealth Cup back here at the Royal meeting. At around 12/1, he looks overpriced and is a sporting each way bet.

Makes her handicap debut today though on RPRs she has a tough opening mark. That said, she recorded her best RPR on debut last year at Beverley when keeping on under hands and heels to finish 4th. Had another 3 runs in the following 4 weeks in which she did not show anything remarkable. From a family that connections know well, her mother blossomed in the summer of her 3yo career. She has a choice of 2 entries on Thursday so with the yard making a brighter start to the season than is usual, she could be being primed for a successful summer. The yard has a very good strike rate here, with 2-7 (2 x 2nds), 1-7 (3 placed), 4-12 (2 x 2nds), 3-8 in the last 4 years.

She is still owned by the Cumani’s and Fittocks Stud and she looks to have been found a good winning opportunity on handicap debut. She stepped up to 9.5f on re-appearance and having raced in rear, she was noted making promising late headway to be closest at the line. She will be suited by this further step up in trip to 11.5f and she looks to be in with a generous opening handicap mark.

A modest Class 6 handicap with the eye drawn to the Tim Easterby trained Tip Top Tank. He has only had 5 runs but noticeably he made his debut in a Class 3 Novice at York last October. While he was unsurprisingly outclassed in that event, he must have shown something to start off in that grade. His best run to date was 2 runs back when he was a staying on runner up at Newcastle on his only other run at this trip of 5f. He was bumped at the start that day so he may have well have won with a clear run. He was again bumped at the start at Newcastle last time and while he was able to race in behind the front rank, that was over 6f and he weakened from 1f out. Back to the minimum on turf, and with a first time tongue tie and cheek pieces and David Allen back on board, at around 6/1, he rates a solid each way bet.

Ed Dunlop doesn’t send horses here often with 1 win and 3 placed from 4 runners in the past 5 years. Cues Beau won on her 4th attempt last season in May but didn’t see the track again until Kempton at the end of January. She ran to similar RPRs in her first 2 runs this year at Kempton before a disappointing run over 8f at Chelmsford last time. She raced out the back and while she made headway approaching the final furlong she weakened on the run to home without being given a hard time. She has dropped 5lb for her 3 defeats this year and on her best form sets a clear standard here. Most in this field race out the back so if reproducing her run style when winning at Nottingham, she can lie handy and she can maintain he unbeaten record on turf.

Cloud King didn’t get a clear run at all when scoring over CD a month ago but is raised 12lb for that win. Also, that was a 0-60 Class 6 and he is now in a 0-75 Class 5. He should give a good account but I would rather take him on at the price. Torvar has won 3 on the AW, all over 5f so he will appreciate the drop back in trip. His last 2 were over 6f at Lingfield, going around a bend which didn’t seem to suit him. He should appreciate the straight 5F here and drops to a 0-75 after his last 3 in 0-78, 0-80 & 0-85. While Front Gunner is likely to make the pace, Torvar can race prominently so with stall 1, Danny can jump him out with the pace and he could take some pegging back. At around 11/1, he looks well worth an each way interest for the first 2 and is a sporting Nap of the day.

Not a race to go mad with but Gemini Star is lightly raced and may still have improvement in her and should be in better shape after her re-appearance. She ducked right at the start and was always in rear in a race where it paid to race prominently so she was always up against it. It often pays to be drawn wide here over CD so she is nicely drawn in stall 9. She acts on testing ground and this intermediate trip should suit. At around 9/1, she is worth an each way interest.

A modest handicap but a few in with chances. However, the ability to handle the testing ground will be key. Sarah’s Verse had tumbled down the weights through last season and started this term on a very good mark. Even with a 4lb rise for her last win, she remains well treated and with Hollie retaining the mount and testing ground again, she rates a sporting each way Nap of the day at around 7/1.

Plenty in with a shout here but preference is for the Chris Gordon trained Annual Invictus. He comes here relatively fresh having looked to swerve the soft ground this Winter. That said, he has taken the same route as he did last year when he finished in 6th place in this race. Last year, he finished 8th in the Kim Muir before coming here where he jumped well and was going well until he was bumped jumping the 3rd last down the back and lost his pitch. He stayed on again up the hill to finish a respectable 16.5l behind Kittys Light. He again ran in the Kim Muir on soft ground this year where he was travelling well until badly hampered by a faller and lost his place jumping the 2nd last down the back. Well back in last approaching the 2nd last, he kept on nicely to finish in 7th place albeit beaten 33l. Granted better luck in running this time and back on better ground, he can get compensation for a yard that has had a difficult season. At around 16/1, he rates a sporting each way Nap of the day.

A fascinating re-match between El Fabiolo and Jonbon after the damp squib of Cheltenham. El Fabiolo has always seemed to make an error somewhere in his races and those daft enough to have taken such short odds at Cheltenham were put out of their misery at the 5th. While there is no denying that if he puts in a slick round of jumping he is the one to beat, I can’t have him at odds on. To be fair, Jonbon is also not the slickest of jumpers but he has won 3 times around here and he landed this after scoring at Aintree last year. With the Henderson team back in decent form, at around 2/1, Jonbon is the one to be on.

A few of these have questions to answer, Hitman has only won 1 of his last 15 and doesn’t always look the most enthusiastic at the business end. Al Dancer and Ga Law have done well in good handicaps this season but look a bit out of their depth in this class. The Real Whacker could not dominate the way he wanted in the Gold Cup and this is a little easier. He should be able to set fractions today and at around 3/1, he looks the one to be on.

Chasing Fire is likely to go ff favourite here as he steps up to 3m for the first time. However, he has issues with his jumping and has more of a Flat racing pedigree so just how he copes with 3m on softer ground remains to be seen and I have to look elsewhere. Geryville returned to form last time over an inadequate trip and will be suited by the return to 3m. However, that was his first win in 13 runs and id overlooked. Readysteadybeau is well thought of as a staying chaser but his best form has been racing up with the pace which he did not do last time out. That was off a 54 day break and he has been off for another 83 days so comes here a fresh horse. If he can get into a rhythm on the front end, he could take all the catching and at around 4/1, rates the value bet.

Arctic Row has been nicely progressive in Chases this season and despite a 9lb rise for his last win is fancied to land the hat-trick. There should be plenty of pace on and this strong traveller can sit out the back and pounce late on. He goes well for Sean Quinlan and while he may not want the ground too testing, he should be ok today. There is stamina on the dam’s side of his pedigree and being by Yeats, this step up to 3m should suit. At around 6/1, he rates a sporting Nap of the day.

It will be interesting to see how the draw pans out this season as the bias seemed to have reverted to low numbers again last season. If that is the case, then Hedge Fund is perfectly placed in stall 2 and if his re-appearance blew away the cobwebs, he could take some catching on the far rail. He has plenty of early speed and today’s better ground should suit. He stepped up to Listed company on his last run last season over 5.5f at Deauville before fading in the final 110yds. The yard has had 5-23 so far this season and he can land this before stepping up in grade. At around 11/2, he looks a solid each way bet.

Call The Dance should go well on handicap debut but her opening mark is not particularly generous based on her RPRs. Oslo has had a pipe opener on the AW at Kempton and was unlucky in that he met all sorts of trouble through the final furlong. However, he has raced 41 times under Rules and lacks the scope of others here. The one that takes the eye is McCain’s Quaresome. He tends to have breaks between races so maybe is not the easiest to keep sound. He comes here on the back of a 62 day break and sets the clear standard on RPRs on top of which his ride takes off a useful 7lb. He probably found the ground too soft in his last 3 and will be suited by the better ground here. At around 6/1, he looks a solid each way bet.

Secret Trix won on re-appearance last month after 153 day break racing on soft ground after his progressive form last summer on good ground so he clearly looks to act on any ground from good through to heavy. He usually races out the back so with 2 likely make it here, he should get the race run to suit. Sean Bowen is still looking to push Cobden for the Jockeys Title and at around 9/4, he looks the value bet.

A chance is taken here with one of the outsiders in Dunworley. He made his Rules debut in a Hunter Chase over CD last May finishing a fair 2nd. He has had 2 runs this season, the first on ground too soft and the second over a trip way too short for him. He will be suited by the return to this CD and if able to reproduce the RPR recorded last May then he looks well handicapped today. He has been nibbled at early doors at some fancy prices so it’s reasonable to assume that this has been the plan all along. At around 25/1, he rates a sporting each way chance.

This looks to be between the 2 at the head of the market with preference for the McCain trained A Different Kind. He comes here off a 227 day break but does have a good record fresh. He should be able to set his own fractions and if getting into a rhythm, could take a deal of catching. Sure Touch has been nicely progressive and looks to act on any ground. He is sure to give a good account but if the selection gets a soft lead Sure Touch may find himself with too much to do. At around 2/1, A Different Kind is the one to be on.

There should be plenty of pace on here with Rafferty’s Return and Choose A Copper likely to take each other on for the lead. That could set this up for a closer and Bingoo fits the bill. He was pulled up in the Martin Pipe last time after stumbling badly after jumping 3 out and landing awkwardly 2 out. Prior to that, was never sighted in the Class 2 Morebattle at Kelso and now drops back to a Class 3, has Charlotte Jones back on board and he has been dropped 3lb. The last 2 runs were in big fields and he will be better suited by today’s smaller field. He can sit out the back before being brought with a late run. This lightly raced 8yo has won in April for each of the last 2 years and at around 9/1, looks overpriced and rates the Nap of the day.
