- Uncle O – 216.0
- Mawlood (IRE) – 179.7
Let’s assess the comments for each runner:
- Duke Of Luckley (IRE): Successful on chase debut at Catterick but inconsistent jumping has hindered progress. First-time visor may have a positive impact.
- Getaway Jewel (IRE): Won twice at Market Rasen last summer and delivered an impressive win over C&D recently. Carries a penalty but commands respect.
- Going Mobile (IRE): Had three wins last season and showed improvement when third at Hexham. Can be difficult to ride, and the visor is now applied.
- Rocambolas (FR): Successful start for the new yard in a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle but disappointed in recent chase runs. Fell while in contention at Market Rasen.
- King Of Quinta (FR): Showed potential in bumpers and hurdles but struggled over fences. Failed to finish his last race and needs to prove himself.
- Uncle O: Placed off higher marks last season and finished second at Fakenham on return. Inconsistent jumping but showed promise in the recent C&D run.
- Mawlood (IRE): Dual hurdles winner but yet to progress over fences. Best effort for the current yard was a third-place finish at Huntingdon. Out of the weights.
Based on the analysis, the top pick for this race would be Getaway Jewel (IRE). With recent success over C&D and the presence of jockey Brian Hughes, Getaway Jewel has shown excellent form and carries a penalty. Duke Of Luckley and Going Mobile also have solid chances based on their ratings and comments.

Let’s assess the comments for each runner:
- Oasis Prince: Showed promise in a Market Rasen handicap hurdle and comes from a fit state on the Flat. Not to be discounted off a fair mark.
- Riggsby (IRE): Consistent performer, finishing in the frame in all three starts over hurdles for the new yard. Creditable third over C&D on handicap debut. High on the shortlist.
- We Still Believe (IRE): In good form on the Flat this year and showed improvement on his first hurdles start at Hexham. Faces stronger competition here.
- Dee Eire: Unimpressive performances in maiden/novice company and needs a significant improvement on handicap debut after a break.
- Gone In Sixty: Still a maiden but showed positives in his recent third-place finish at Market Rasen off the same mark. Possibilities if he builds on that effort.
- Ez Tiger (IRE): Bounced back to form with a second-place finish over C&D. Similar performance in his most recent run but has to find more to challenge Riggsby.
- Getaman (IRE): Dual winner over fences but was well beaten in his recent hurdling run. 0-9 record in this sphere.
- George Mallory: Yet to win over hurdles but has been close, including at this C&D. A reproduction of that form would give him a strong each-way chance.
- Tallys Son: Poor strike rate on the Flat and winless over hurdles, but produced his best effort yet in this sphere. Unlikely to be far away if he can build on that.
- Ballynaveen Boy (IRE): Struggled in juvenile hurdles and did not fare better on his return. Underwent a wind operation, but a significant improvement is needed on handicap debut.
- Naasik: Remains a maiden after 33 runs and has shown little in his recent starts. Looks set for another struggle from a high weight.
Based on the analysis, the top pick for this race would be Riggsby (IRE). With consistent performances over hurdles and a creditable third-place finish over C&D on handicap debut, Riggsby is in good form and high on the shortlist. Getaman and Oasis Prince also have strong chances based on their ratings and comments.

- Hortzadar – 440.1
- Garden Oasis – 436.6
- Laser Guided (IRE) – 431.6
- Lions Dream (FR) – 334.8
Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:
- Imperial Sands (IRE): Four-time winner on the All-Weather, but only one place from 8 starts on turf. Not favored based on turf performances.
- Tropez Power (IRE): Most wins on the All-Weather, competitive performances in handicaps on turf recently. Mark unchanged, and another strong performance expected.
- Phantasy Mac (IRE): Improved in handicaps last year, fifth career victory on final start. Below-par initially this year, creditable performances in the last two starts, but others have more appeal for a win here.
- Hortzadar: Mostly competed at a higher level, performing well in 3 out of 4 starts this season. Fourth-place finish behind Garden Oasis in Ayr handicap, and the refitted visor may give him an extra edge.
- Lions Dream (FR): Winning debut last year, twice finished second since. Fair fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Yarmouth recently, but more needed to win this race.
- Garden Oasis: Improved from reappearance effort, runner-up over C&D, followed by a win at Ayr. Decent performance at Carlisle but has a patchy profile, and others appear stronger.
- Ottoman Prince (IRE): Surprised at 80/1 on debut, followed by a runner-up finish. Made a winning reappearance at Wolverhampton, and the step up in trip should suit. Improvement likely in handicapping.
- Cancan In The Rain (IRE): Yarmouth novice winner, recently won a Newmarket handicap. Tougher competition here, but a slight 2 lb increase in weight and should be considered.
- Laser Guided (IRE): Showed improved form on handicap/turf debut, dead-heated for first at Ripon. Creditable third at Doncaster and expected to be in contention.
Based on the analysis, the top pick for this race would be Ottoman Prince (IRE). With a surprise win on debut and a solid runner-up finish in the next race, Ottoman Prince has shown potential. The step up in trip and the likelihood of improvement in handicapping make Ottoman Prince a strong selection.
Tropez Power (IRE), Phantasy Mac (IRE), and Cancan In The Rain (IRE) also have decent chances based on their recent performances and ratings.

- Gannon Glory (IRE): Consistent performances this year, third of 6 in a handicap at Hamilton. First-time cheekpieces, but the widest stall may pose challenges.
- Late Arrival (IRE): Creditable efforts in first two outings this year, with an excuse for the last race. Looking to win this race for the second year in a row.
- Corinthia Knight (IRE): Five-time C&D winner, solid return from a 4-month break with a fourth-place finish over C&D. Should be considered.
- Kaths Toyboy: Recent win at Southwell, and placed in 2 of the 3 starts since. Likely to give a good account of himself.
- Vaunted: Course winner, but below par in recent outings for a new yard. First-time cheekpieces may need to make a difference.
- Patontheback (IRE): No win in 17 runs since 2021. Creditable third at Beverley recently but needs to build on that performance.
- Fiscal Policy (IRE): Good start to the season with a win on AW and a second-place finish at Thirsk. Respected despite a slight weight increase.
- Atomise: Not at best in 2 recent runs for a new yard, but potential for improvement and a lenient handicap mark.
- Impeller: Hasn’t performed well this season, finishing last in a handicap at Nottingham.
- Atlantic Heart (IRE): Creditable fifth over C&D, and now back to the mark he defied on AW last autumn.
- Wreck It Ryley (IRE): In good form in the spring, but last 2 efforts have been below par. Drawn wide for this race.
- South Dakota Sioux (IRE): Career-best win at Wetherby and creditable efforts in subsequent starts. Expected to be competitive.
- Mostallim: Respectable third in a recent handicap at Leicester. Can’t be dismissed easily.
- Princess Savannah: Won a seller race, but more is needed back in a handicap. Less exposed than most runners.
- Magical Effect (IRE): Below form in a recent handicap at Doncaster, but back on a winning mark.
- Round The Island: Multiple C&D winner, second in a handicap at Ripon. Shouldn’t be discounted.
Based on the analysis, the top pick for this race would be Corinthia Knight (IRE). With a strong C&D record and a solid return from a break, Corinthia Knight is well-positioned to perform well in this race. Gannon Glory (IRE), Magical Effect (IRE), and K

- Sommervieu (FR) – 165.7
Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:
- Tommydan (IRE): In good form over hurdles in the autumn and returned to winning ways over C&D last month. Disappointing over fences recently, so back over hurdles now.
- Blue Sans (IRE): Won over C&D three weeks ago after dropping to a dangerous mark. In contention for another strong performance.
- Bright Sunbird (IRE): Back-to-back winner last summer but not quite at that level in recent starts. Showed improvement in her last run. Requires a straightforward ride.
- Classic Concorde (IRE): Prolific in point-to-point races but pulled up in a handicap chase recently. Given a chance over hurdles with a visor applied for the first time.
- Sommervieu (FR): Fair maiden hurdler in France but has shown little promise in six starts for Charlie Longsdon. Pulled up in the last race. Recent form is a concern.
- Bettys Belle: Fair bumper winner and ran well over hurdles as a runner-up at Uttoxeter. Should perform strongly if focused on the task.
- Just Call Me Al (IRE): Won three times at Sedgefield in the previous season. Disappointing since but showed promise with a third-place finish at Market Rasen. Potentially well handicapped.
- Whataboutyeh (IRE): Successful over C&D in April and won over fences at Cartmel recently. Back over hurdles and expected to have a significant impact if not fatigued.
- Robeam (IRE): Struggled since a third-place finish in a C&D handicap last September. Held over C&D three weeks ago and has displayed refusal to race. Best to look elsewhere.
Based on the analysis, the top pick for this race would be Blue Sans (IRE). With a high rating and a recent win over the same course and distance, Blue Sans is in good form and can perform well again. Whataboutyeh (IRE), Bright Sunbird (IRE), and Tommydan (IRE) also have strong chances based on their ratings and recent performances.

- Female Approach (IRE) – 254.3
- Sight Nor Seen (IRE) – 178.9
Let’s assess the comments for each runner:
- Secret Trix: Suited by the step up in trip and has a good track record in handicap hurdles. Won easily over C&D in May and considered a leading contender.
- Lelantos (IRE): Has recorded multiple successes in handicap hurdles. Poor effort at Ludlow was followed by a more encouraging third-place finish at Worcester. Capable of putting in a strong performance.
- Coconut Twist (IRE): Showing good form this season with three runner-up finishes. Put in a good effort without the usual hood at Fontwell. Can be a contender on only his second attempt at this trip.
- Maroochi: Opened her account at Newton Abbot and stepped up on her return with a fourth-place finish at Aintree. Expected to give another solid performance.
- Racing Spirit: Has only one win over hurdles but has placed in two starts in this sphere. Ran well with a second-place finish at this C&D last month. Task is to build on the latest effort.
- Student Chap (IRE): Hasn’t progressed since a fourth-place finish on hurdle debut. Pulled up in the latest race. The step up in trip and application of a tongue strap need to spark a return to form.
- The Longest Day (IRE): Showing improvement since returning from a 15-month absence. Placed in the last three starts, including a runner-up finish at this C&D. Expected to be in the mix again.
- Female Approach (IRE): Fair handicapper on the Flat and over hurdles in Ireland. Poor performance in her first run since leaving Denis Hogan. More needed to secure a first success in this sphere.
- Sight Nor Seen (IRE): Fair hurdler/chaser in Ireland but below par for current connections. Showed improvement with a fourth-place finish at Hexham but pulled up in a subsequent race. Cheekpieces reintroduced, but chances are limited.
Based on the analysis, the top pick for this race would be Secret Trix. With the highest rating and a recent win over the same course and distance, Secret Trix has a strong chance of performing well. Lelantos (IRE), Coconut Twist (IRE), and Maroochi also have good prospects based on their ratings and recent performances.

- Dig Two (IRE) – 438.7
- Mister Bluebird – 429.5
- Silver Samurai – 408.5
Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:
- Tanmawwy (IRE): C&D winner, unsuited by the race development in the previous outing. Eased in class and expected to be in contention.
- Lethal Nymph: Fifth-place finish in a handicap at Nottingham. Eased 2 lb and has the potential to regain the progressive form.
- Silver Samurai: Cheekpieces on for the first time, tenth-place finish in a handicap at Haydock. Tongue strap on for the first time and can be dangerous with a good pace.
- Sterling Knight: Career-best win in a handicap at this C&D, running on strongly. A slight weight increase shouldn’t hinder a bold follow-up bid.
- Aphelios: C&D winner with three victories last season. Last-place finish in a handicap at Newmarket, but reportedly scoped dirty. Chance to bounce back.
- Dora Penny: C&D winner with a total of ten wins from 28 Flat runs. Last of eight in a handicap at York in the previous start, may have needed the run.
- Mister Bluebird: Course winner with a recent win at Goodwood. Creditable sixth-place finish in a handicap at Newbury, making an effort earlier than ideal. In good form.
- Dig Two (IRE): Below-par eighth-place finish in a handicap at Newbury. Tongue strap on for the first time.
- Expert Agent: Three wins from four runs this year, with the latest win at Lingfield. Seventh-place finish in a handicap at Newmarket, not ideally placed for the 4-timer.
Based on the analysis, the top pick for this race would be Sterling Knight. With a career-best win at this C&D and a strong finish, Sterling Knight has shown the potential to perform well. Tanmawwy (IRE) and Expert Agent have also been consistent performers and should be considered for selections.

- Idilico (FR) – 377.4
- Red Missile (IRE) – 312.1
- Baez – 234.0
- Wontgetfooledagen (IRE) – 239.3
Let’s assess the comments for each runner:
- Yorkindness: Won easily over 17f at Pontefract but was well held under a penalty at Lingfield. Racing too keenly is a concern, and a bounce back is needed.
- Wontgetfooledagen (IRE): A long way behind Robert Johnson on his first outing for Tracy Waggott. Previous success in Sweden, but the recent performance raises doubts.
- Excelcius (USA): Failed to make an impact over hurdles in Britain. It remains to be seen if returning to the Flat will improve his form.
- Robert Johnson: Improved on the flat this season, with three wins in his last four starts. A comfortable win at Thirsk suggests he can handle the step up in trip.
- Belle Of Annandale (IRE): Still a maiden but has been placed on multiple occasions. Ran creditably when third over 12.5f at Musselburgh recently. Stamina will be key.
- Red Missile (IRE): A course winner on both the flat and over hurdles but struggled in recent jumps races. Performance on the flat at Ayr was not encouraging.
- Idilico (FR): Second of five over C&D on return to the flat after hurdling. Fitness from hurdling could be an advantage.
- Baez: Still a maiden but has been running creditably for the new yard. Finished third over 13f at Ayr last time and expected to be in the mix again.
Based on the analysis, the top pick for this race would be Robert Johnson. With strong recent form on the flat, including a clear win at Thirsk, Robert Johnson looks well treated even with a further weight rise. Belle Of Annandale, Yorkindness, and Idilico also have good prospects based on their ratings and comments.

- Yeeeaah (IRE) – 223.7
Let’s assess the comments for each runner:
- Alazwar (IRE): Last of 10 in a handicap at Haydock. Hopes are on the first-time blinkers to spark a return to form.
- Star Shield: Won a handicap at Wetherby recently and nudged up in the weights. Expected to be competitive once again.
- Flylikeaneagle (IRE): Last of 9 in a handicap at Ayr. Needs to bounce back from that performance.
- Finbars Lad: Career-best win at Haydock recently. The 4 lb rise in weight is not prohibitive, and he is considered a live contender.
- Showmedemoney (IRE): Last of 9 in a handicap at York. Back down in trip with cheekpieces refitted. Others are preferred.
- Archduke Ferdinand (IRE): Seventh of 15 in a handicap at Doncaster. Easy to overlook for this race.
- Yaaser (IRE): Course winner. Twelfth of 15 in a handicap at Doncaster, but that run can be excused. With a 2 lb lower weight, considered high on the shortlist.
- Regal Rambler (IRE): Bit below form sixth of 12 in a handicap at Sandown. More effective on synthetic surfaces. Wears a visor for the first time.
- Gometra Ginty (IRE): Three-time C&D winner. Third of 4 in a handicap at Ayr. Wears a visor for the first time, and each-way chances depend on how she responds to the new headgear.
- Viva Voce (IRE): Two wins from 6 runs this year, including a recent win over C&D. Eighth of 9 in a handicap at Ayr. Looks vulnerable based on the previous low-key display.
- Yeeeaah (IRE): Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Ninth of 12 in a handicap at Newcastle. Likely to find a few too good once more.
Based on the analysis, the top pick for this race would be Finbars Lad. With a recent career-best win at Haydock and a manageable weight rise, Finbars Lad is expected to be a strong contender. Flylikeaneagle (IRE), Star Shield, and Yaaser (IRE) also have good prospects based on their ratings and previous performances.
Remember to consider additional factors like jockey form, trainer statistics, and any relevant race conditions for your final decision.
