Hamilton
Little to separate them on form because most are unexposed, so it comes down to the yard and the booking.
PEN LAN ICON gets the vote at 10/1 for David Loughnane, ridden by William Pyle. The market makes it favourite.
The dangers are CELTIC STORM at 8/11 and CHARMED BOY at 4/1.
THE RESDEV ROMAN at 5/2, Michael & David Easterby and Joanna Mason, looks the one to be on. He drops in grade after running won in a Class 4, drops to Class 5 and won last time out.
One to be careful with: none of these has won or been placed on this ground.
IMPRESSOR at 7/1, Phillip Makin and Connor Beasley, gets the vote, and it is the kind of race we wait for. He races off a mark 14lb below the 68 it won from back in September 2025 and has won here 3 times.
The one worry is weakened last time and run style against this track.
The main danger is KYBER CRYSTAL at 12/1 (a course winner).
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
PERSIAN SPIRIT at 11/2, Edward Bethell and Billy Loughnane, is the one I keep coming back to. He races off a mark 2lb below the 80 it won off and comes from a yard in good heart at 21%.
The dangers are THUNDERSTORM KATIE at 5/1 (a course winner) and JANNAS JOURNEY at 4/1 (a course winner).
GOOD MORNING ALEX at 18/1, David & Nicola Barron and Connor Beasley, is the one I want to be on here. He races off a mark 9lb below the 79 it won from back in April 2025 and is a twice-winner over this course.
The dangers are TIME LOOP at 5/1 (on a falling mark) and MILITARY LEADER at 6/1 (went close off this mark).
Non-runners: Empire of Light.
EMPIRESTATEOFMIND at 10/3, John & Sean Quinn and Jason Hart, gets the vote, and it is the kind of race we wait for. He races off a mark 23lb below the 87 it won from back in October 2025, won last time out and is back quickly, ran 2 days ago.
TEE AITCH AYE rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 60 and runs off 67 — up 7lb.
The dangers are DRAUPNIR at 6/1 (went close off this mark) and EPIDAVROS at 15/2 (a course winner).
DANDY'S ANGEL at 10/1, John Wainwright and Jason Hart, is the one I want to be on here. He races off a mark 15lb below the 62 it won from back in July 2025, knows how to win round here and was staying on at the finish last time.
The one worry is run style against this track.
UNCLE LIAM rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 52 and runs off 57 — up 5lb.
The dangers are TAYLORMADE LAD at 8/1 (well handicapped) and FLYING MOONLIGHT at 6/1 (went close off this mark).
Listowel
WIPEAWAYYOURTEARS at 16/1, Michael Butler with Alan King taking off 7lb, looks the most likely of these. He wears headgear for the first time and should be suited by the ground, placed once from 2 on it.
The main danger is HELLO GARDA at 9/2.
EASTER BONNET at 6/1, W. P. Mullins and Brian Hayes, is the one I would side with. He wears headgear for the first time and handles the ground, with a win from 2 on it.
TUMBLING IN rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
The dangers are SEA CORAL at 12/1 and MAJESTIC FORCE at 2/1.
REGARDS TO ROSE at 33/1, Eoin Christopher McCarthy with Thomas O'Connor taking off 7lb, is the one I would be with. He has a course win to his name and handles the ground, with a win from 3 on it.
CHOSEN SHANT rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
The dangers are BYNX at 40/1 and SPEISIALTA at 11/1.
MISTY VALENTINE at 200/1, M Winters with Michael Kenneally taking off 5lb, just about gets the nod. He wears headgear for the first time.
RUN TED RUN rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
SKY LORD at 7/2, Henry de Bromhead and Darragh O'Keeffe, looks the one to be on. He won by 70 lengths and escapes a penalty, leaving 70lb in hand and should be suited by the ground, placed once from 5 on it.
OCASTLE DES MOTTES rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 126 and runs off 130 — up 4lb.
The main danger is LUKER'S TIPPLE at 10/1 (back quickly).
BYTHESAMETOKEN at 16/1, Ross O'Sullivan and Danny Gilligan, is the bet, and this is the profile the whole thing is built around. He has had 2 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 17½f today where he wins and his mark is 9lb lower for it and has already won around this track.
The dangers are NET BOY at 13/2 and WARRIORS WOOD at 10/1.
SIR VINNY at 6/4, David Harry Kelly with Mr A P Ryan taking off 5lb, looks the most likely of these. He was staying on at the finish last time and was placed on its only start on this ground.
The main danger is BONNIE LOCH at 50/1 (in first-time headgear).
Plumpton
GETAROSE at 11/4, Mrs C. Williams and Adam Wedge, looks the pick of these. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 1.5L off 80 (1lb higher than today) on 4 April, should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 6 on it and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 4% rider to 11%.
The one worry is off the track a while and has never won.
GALEFORCECHOPPER rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
PREMIER TENOR at 4/6, Dan Skelton and Harry Skelton, just about gets the nod. He comes from a yard in good heart at 30% and should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 2 on it.
The main danger is ARCTURUS FLAME at 3/1.
PREMIER FANTASY at 5/4, Nick Scholfield and Sean Bowen, looks the one to be on. He was staying on at the finish last time, should be suited by the ground, placed 3 times from 4 on it and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 10% rider to 19%.
The dangers are THETYPE ISTITLE at 14/1 (in first-time headgear) and AKRRAMM at 4/1 (in first-time headgear).
STAGE SHOW at 12/1, Alexandra Dunn with Isabelle Ryder taking off 5lb, is the one I keep coming back to. He has already run to within touching distance off this sort of figure, beaten 0.75L off 75 on 23 April 2025, handles the ground, with a win from 14 on it and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.
The dangers are JEFE TRIUNFO at 5/2 and POOROLDMACKLEY at 17/2 (staying on last time).
ETERNAL ANGEL at 13/2, Tom Lacey and Stan Sheppard, is the standout, and this is exactly the sort of race to find one. He won by 18 lengths and was raised only 5lb for it, leaving 13lb in hand and was staying on at the finish last time.
The dangers are GOWER PRINCE at 8/1 (from a yard in form) and ZILLOW at 35/1 (well handicapped).
A TICKATICKATIMING at 9/1, Sheena West and Marc Goldstein, makes most appeal. He is a twice-winner over this course and handles the ground, with a win from 10 on it.
The one worry is long time without a win.
FARHH ECHO rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won its last two off 80 and runs off 91 — up 11lb.
The main danger is AGGAGIO at 9/2 (well handicapped).
Hard to be confident with this many unexposed, so the yard and the jockey are doing most of the talking.
SHANE'S SPIRIT gets the vote at 4/6 for Mickey Bowen, ridden by James Bowen. Mickey Bowen is running at 20% over the past fortnight, and James Bowen is a 15% rider.
The dangers are MISSY MOISES at 9/2 and COMPANY CHARGE at 11/2.
