Made All^t⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Miss Natasha Cookson| T: S England| OR: 70| CD

8/15

Hit the target 4 times for current yard, the latest on return to this sphere at Wolverhampton in March. Comes here in good order, placed for the third start in a row when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (17f, good) 48 days ago. Respected back on the Flat.

Form: 38-1053

Cougar⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Sophia Watson⁽³⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 59| D

80/1

Responded well to the fitting of blinkers when landing the first leg of a double at Musselburgh and Hamilton last year but has looked a shadow of that horse this campaign and is easily opposed having since left Iain Jardine.

Form: 811-075

Palazzo Persico²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Grace Littmoden| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59

5/2

Mixed form at Dundalk for Denis Hogan to start the year, but made a winning debut for current yard in 11-runner amateur riders handicap at Chepstow (1¼m) last month. Bit too keen under a penalty at Brighton (1m) since but this is a thin race and he's shortlisted going back up in trip.

Form: 030015

He's Our Cracker^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Freddie Robson| T: J Candlish| OR: 57

8/1

Off the mark at Chelmsford (1¼m) in March but hasn't been able to repeat that effort in 4 subsequent outings, again proving headstrong when eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 19 days ago. Place here claims in a poor race, though.

Ruler Of The River^p,t⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Jack Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 45

80/1

Poor hurdler and looked of little account in points and a hunter chase for Tom Fife. Hard to fancy making yard debut on the Flat.

Form: 0046/00-

On The Bubble¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Kayla Ruddy⁽³⁾| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 45

22/1

Has a poor strike rate but plenty of placed efforts to her name, including over 9f at Musselburgh on her first 2 outings of 2026. Seemingly failed to stay this trip there last time, though.

Form: 6-23955

Forecasts

Made All (8/15), Palazzo Persico (5/2), He's Our Cracker (8/1), On The Bubble (22/1), Cougar (80/1), Ruler Of The River (80/1)

MADE ALL has been in decent heart across both codes and can successfully concede weight. Palazzo Persico is low mileage for the Carroll yard and looks the main danger.
