Stock Market²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60

8/1

Still looking for first success and whilst yet to make an impact for present connections, possible he'll strip fitter for his reappearance eighth at Kempton 25 days ago. Again partnered by Rossa Ryan and interesting if there was market confidence behind him.

Form: 0948-98

Sea Her Excel^h1²¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 60WS

10/1

Bungle Inthejungle filly who settled better and displayed more than on first 2 starts despite finishing last of 3 in a Newcastle novice (6f) in September. Hood goes on and she will have more chance now handicapping following a breathing operation.

Form: 753-

Power Of Chora^t1¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: Joey Ramsden| OR: 58

33/1

Magna Grecia filly who failed to better modest form in a trio of all-weather maidens during the winter. Not obviously well treated on turf/handicap debut but interesting to see what the betting makes of her with a tongue strap now added.

Form: 57-8

(7)

Mademoiselle Belle^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 57

12/1

Won at Newcastle (5f) in February but has reverted to slow-starting ways, never a threat when ninth back at that venue 2 weeks ago.

Form: 916359

Faithful Dream^v1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 57

9/2

Maiden who has held his form well in recent months, shaping like a step back up to this trip would be in his favour when third over 5f here 8 days ago. Cheekpieces worn then now replaced by a visor and he holds definite claims again.

Form: 425353

Bold Return³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 57

12/1

Ended a light 2025 campaign with a good second on handicap debut at Beverley last spring and even better effort after 7 months off when fourth at Southwell (5f) 4 weeks ago. Possibilities now tackling 6f for the first time.

Form: 8462-4

Elashgar⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: K Frost| OR: 56| BF| D

7/1

Bred to be better than this level and having showed improved form to score on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f) in February, he again ran well when second back there 50 days ago, despite not looking suited by the drop in trip. Return to 6f a plus and he's one for the shortlist.

Form: 9-8312

(14)

In Denial³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Bradley| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 56

16/1

Lightly-raced sort who produced easily her best effort when fourth on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f) in March. Easy to back and not in same form when sixth at Chelmsford 31 days ago but too soon to be writing her off.

Form: 75-746

Tickettothestars¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 51

9/2

Winless following 11 starts but she again performed creditably when fifth in a big-field handicap at Leicester (7f) 2 weeks ago. Not discounted returned to sprinting from same mark.

Form: 6-80545

(8)

Telling Time¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 51

13/2

Bounced back to form dropped to 6f when neck second at Wolverhampton in March and found himself left poorly placed when mid-field in handicap at Pontefract latest. Better showing certainly not ruled out.

Form: 03-9827

(9)

Saeculamation³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: G G Margarson| OR: 50| D

25/1

Opened his account from this mark at Chelmsford (6f) in December but has disappointed in trio of all-weather starts since.

Form: 241-588

(6)

Ganthorpe⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 49

10/1

Arrives in good nick without winning, posting his best effort yet when third at Wolverhampton (6f) on penultimate start. Not disgraced when fifth at Newcastle in March and he's not ruled out from career-low mark back on turf.

Form: 76-8535

(1)

Noble Gentleman²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R A Fahey| OR: 47

25/1

Supremacy gelding who hasn't showed much in a trio of quick fire runs in all-weather maidens. Does now make a quick switch to handicaps from a basement mark, so noteworthy if the market spoke in his favour.

Form: 976

(13)

Petes Diamond¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: George Wood| T: Joey Ramsden| OR: 47

28/1

Modest form at best in novice company and failed to progress in handicaps on all-weather/turf since the turn of the year.

Form: 55-6580

(15)

Rupert Ritzik^p1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 45

66/1

Well held in 4 starts as a juvenile and no upturn on the back of a 6-month absence when well beaten at Newcastle (7f) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces go on and he's hard to make a case for.

Form: 0089-9

Tickettothestars (9/2), Faithful Dream (9/2), Telling Time (13/2), Elashgar (7/1), Stock Market (8/1), Ganthorpe (10/1), Sea Her Excel (10/1), Mademoiselle Belle (12/1), Bold Return (12/1), In Denial (16/1), Saeculamation (25/1), Noble Gentleman (25/1), Petes Diamond (28/1), Power Of Chora (33/1), Rupert Ritzik (66/1)

Low-mileage ELASHGAR didn't look ideally suited by the drop back to the minimum trip, yet still matched his previous best when runner up at Wolverhampton when last seen in March. There are more races to be won with Kevin Frost's charge from this mark back at 6f and he rates a big player once more. Faithful Dream is proving consistent and also promises to be suited by the return to further. Tickettothestars and Telling Time are others making each-way appeal.
