Royal Time won last time out and is back quickly after just nine days, with a third two starts back showing consistent recent form. He has run over today's trip and going before, though carrying 164 lb is a reasonable reservation.

Thereyare won last time out and has run over today's trip and going before, making him a leading threat from a rating of 90 on 163 lb. The risk is a 220-day absence, after three modest finishes before that win.

Luminaries arrives in cracking nick, a winner last time out and again two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going, but carrying 155 lb off an official mark of 82 looks a stiff ask. Our figures rank him last of six, so he is hard to fancy.

The Kings Soldier is hard to fancy, having finished fifth in each of his last three starts and remaining winless in his last six, with a 51-day absence adding to the doubt. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and going, and a third four starts back shows he can get closer.

Nobotheratall has run over today's trip and on the going, and he's fresh from an 11-day turnaround, though a winner six starts back and a second five starts back sit behind three modest finishes. Our top-rated runner at 104 against an official 100, he looks the one to beat despite carrying 168 lb.

Bodygroove has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 98 puts him second of 11, well clear of his official 88 off 156 lb, with a fresh-enough 22 days since his last run. The risk is plain: he is yet to score in his last four, unplaced last time and a sixth three starts back his best effort.

• 5th of 7 at Huntingdon 1 Mar 2026
• 3rd of 8 at Market Rasen 1 Feb 2026

Fourth last time out and a third three starts back show Thesoldiersminit is running with credit, and he has run over today's trip and going, but he is yet to win in his last five starts. Carrying 155 lb off 87 is a stiff ask, and our rating of 89 ranks him only sixth of eleven.

National Question has been below his best lately, a fifth last time out and a sixth before that, and he returns after 136 days off carrying 154 lb off a mark of 86. Two wins in his last five and experience over today's trip and going count for something, but our rating of 80 ranks him ninth of eleven.

Our rating of 92 against an official 85 makes Ms Cindy Kate a leading danger, and she has run over today's trip and going before, with a fourth two starts back and another fourth three starts back. The risk is a 171-day absence after being pulled up last time out, with 153 lb to carry.

Plane Sailing is winless in his last four, with a seventh last time out following two pulled-up efforts, though he has run over today's trip and going before and returns after 34 days. Carrying 153 lb off an official mark of 85, he looks a midfield sort, ranked eighth of 11 on our rating.

Paragon has finished fourth in two of his last three outings and is winless in his last five, though a 140-day break raises fitness questions. He has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 89 sits above his official 86, but 153 lb is a big burden.

Cawthorne Cracker arrives in cracking recent form, second last time out and a winner two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. However, he carries 152 lb off an official mark of 84, and our rating of 78 ranks him tenth of eleven, so he is hard to fancy.

Bouboule has finished fifth in each of his last two starts and is back quickly after seven days, with experience of today's trip and going, but he's yet to win in his last five and carries 144 lb off 77. Our rating of 91 ranks him fifth of 11, so he's a midfield type.

Zeezee is winless in her last five and was eighth last time out, now returning after 299 days off, so she's hard to fancy; two seconds earlier in that run of form and prior experience of today's trip and going are the positives, though 142 lb is a big ask.

Kent de Thaix won two starts back and five starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 124 ranks him second of five. The main risk is a 193-day absence, with a sixth last time out and 154 lb to carry.

Silver Hill arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out, a second two starts back, another second three starts back, and a win four starts back, and he has run on today's going before. The big risk is a 223-day absence, and he carries 153 lb.

Sleedagh is winless in his last five and was only fifth last time, after a ninth, so it is hard to fancy him. In his favour, he has run over today's trip and going, and has three podium finishes in that spell, though he carries 146 lb.

Rocheval has run over today's trip and a fourth two starts back, then another fourth three starts back, show he can be competitive, while our rating of 122 ranks him fourth of five; the risk is a 193-day absence after being pulled up last time out, carrying 145 lb.

North of Richmond makes appeal on his earlier efforts, a winner four starts back followed by a third and a fourth, and he has run over today's trip, while our rating ranks him third of six. The main risk is a pulled-up last time out and a 242-day absence, with 168 lb to carry.

242 days since last run

Fourth last time out and only nine days ago, Max of Stars keeps busy and has run over today's trip and going, while a second three starts back shows she can get close. Yet to win in her last five, and 166 lb is the main risk.

Jentobello won last time out and has finished in the first four in each of his last five starts, with 23 days since that win and experience of today's trip and going. Carrying 164 lb is the main risk, and our rating of 110 ranks him fourth of six.

Our top-rated runner at 122 despite a patchy book, Pyramid Place has run over today's trip and going before and, though officially rated only 106, he tops our ratings by a clear margin. A 121-day break and two pulled-up efforts in his last three runs are the concern, though.

Third last time out and a winner four starts back, Roarin' Success has sound recent form and has run over today's trip and going, but she carries 157 lb off an official mark of 103. Our figures rank her fifth of six, so she looks hard to fancy.

• PU of 11 at Perth 13 May 2026
• UR of 9 at Kelso 20 Apr 2026

Without a win in her last five, Hunters Spring is hard to fancy, with a pulled up and an unseated in the last three starts raising doubts over reliability, and she carries 155 lb. On the plus side, she was third last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank her sixth of six.

Loulou Madrik is our top-rated runner, having made the frame twice in his last five, including a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. Fresh enough after 17 days, he is yet to win in that spell, and his 7th last time out is the one blemish, though 167 lb is a sizeable burden.

Balking showed enough with a fourth last time out, and a second three starts back shows he can go close, while he has run over today's trip and going before. The risk is a 197-day absence, and he is yet to win in his last four starts, carrying 163 lb.

197 days since last run

Winless in his last five, Empty Nest was third last time out but has been off for 199 days, and carrying 150 lb off an official mark of 90 is a big ask. He has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank him sixth of seven.

Uptown Harry pulled up last time out and has been off 187 days since, though he was a fourth two starts back and a third three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 150 lb off 90, he looks a midfield sort, ranked fifth of seven by our rating.

Rule Me In arrives in sound shape after a second last time out, and he has run over today's trip and on this going, while our rating of 93 puts him fourth of seven. The main risk is that he is yet to win in his last five starts and carries 146 lb off 86.

39 days since last run

Aill Dubh signed off with a third last time out, but he's 43 days since that run and has managed just one win in his last five starts, a victory three starts back. He has run over today's trip and going and has only 142 lb to carry, yet our rating of 71 sits below his official 75 and ranks him last of seven.
