11 tips

4/5

Comment: Half-brother to a 1m2f Listed winner and he's out of a Yorkshire/Irish Oaks winner; made a promising start when fourth at Windsor last month and he built on that when going close behind an odds-on rival at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm); sets a clear standard on that form and he's open to more progress upped in trip; been gelded since last run.

Comment: Golden Horn filly out of a 1m-1m4f winner (including Listed; 107); ran green on Goodwood debut (1m2f, good) last month but was making some headway when she got hampered inside the final furlong; shaped better than the bare facts in that race and she could show a lot more on this step up in trip.

Comment: Tenth foal; closely related to 6f 2yo winner New Winds (RPR 85), half-brother to four winners including West Wind Blows (1m2f/1m3f including Group 3; 118) and Setting Sail (1m2f-1m4f; 112); dam 1m2f/10.5f winner (including French Oaks; 116); lots to like on paper and needs watching in market on debut.

17/2

Comment: Improved on his debut form when runner-up at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April but he's not gone on from that in two runs since; had some traffic issues at Windsor last time but this looks a tough assignment on the figures and others are preferred.

Jockey: Aiden Brookes Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerrie Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 72

Comment: Left inauspicious debut a long way behind when 50-1 second at Windsor (11.4f, good) four weeks ago; that was promising but he was allowed to dictate a steady pace and he needs another major step forward.

Comment: Lightly raced filly, who won a Yarmouth maiden (5f, good to soft) and a Kempton novice (6f, AW) last season; found things tough in a Listed race in final 2yo run but she still has potential and could resume her progress on this handicap debut; needs close look on her return.

Comment: Havana Gold half-brother to two winners in these colours, including It Ain't Two (5f/6f 2yo including Listed); made a promising start when runner-up over C&D (good) last month and that can be marked up because he lost momentum when jumping a shadow inside the last; sets good standard on that form and he should improve for the experience.

Comment: Well-backed favourite and he didn't get much luck here (1m2f; close fourth) on his seasonal return in April; well-held fifth of 14 at Newbury last time but he now drops back in grade and is a big player if he can recapture his penultimate form; best efforts have been on good/good to firm.

Comment: All 12 runs have been on good or slower; hold-up performer who won three of his first four handicaps and has finished runner-up in three of his last five starts, including at Goodwood (1m) two weeks ago; probably wouldn't want the ground to dry out but he still looks feasibly treated and this new trip is worth exploring; in the mix.

Comment: Chester speciliast, who has not won since September 2023 and he's faded back at his favoured track in two runs this season (1m2f/1m4f); was only beaten around 3l last time but losing run is now up to 17 and others are preferred; visor back on.

Comment: Runner-up off a similar mark in this race for Charlie Hills last year; made a good start for new yard when third at Hamilton (1m1f) last month and he had another close call at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; usually races prominently and another bold bid is expected.

Comment: Unraced as 2yo but had form figures of 313 in maiden/novice events at Kempton (1m, AW) last season; never involved on handicap/seasonal debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) but she made some promising late headway and wasn't beaten far; should be sharper this time and she still has untapped potential.

Comment: Showed promise in three quick novice/maiden runs last summer; finished down the field in two handicaps this season but he rallied at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last time and wasn't far behind Bodorgan in that race; this unexposed 4yo should have more to offer and he's one to keep an eye on.

Comment: Caused a surprise at 50-1 when winning the Spring Mile at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March; that was a personal best but he's not hit the same level since and slow starts have been an issue; has form at this trip and now drops back in grade but he needs to get back near his best.
