Juan Les Pins
JUAN LES PINS arrives here in fine form and looks the most solid option in a wide-open race. Arantes Nascimento usually does his racing over further nowadays but he's a consistent sort and the anticipated strong pace could bring him into play, with Dicko The Legend, who might've won granted a better passage at Southwell last week, is also a likely player if able to break on terms.

In fine form this spring and notched a second win of the campaign in a 15-runner event at Thirsk (6f) last month. Backed that up with another good effort up in grade to finish third of 16 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good) 22 days ago and he's shortlisted again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury6fGoodFlat3/16Thirsk6fGoodFlat1/15Doncaster5f 3yGood to SoftFlat2/17Newcastle5fStandardFlat1/6Newcastle6fStandardFlat2/11- 5(2)CajetanJ: Billy LoughnaneT: Ruth Carr0-30004Age 57/18/115/2

Seemed to be going backwards from a promising stable debut at Wolverhampton in February but he stemmed the time in first-time blinkers when fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 26 days ago, keeping on well after a slow break.

Overcame a typically slow break when winning at Southwell (6f) last month and shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 8 at that same C&D 10 days ago.

Won at Wolverhampton/York (6f) last year and ended 2025 with a creditable fourth at Southwell in September. Slow starts gave him little chance on first 2 starts this season but he was unlucky not to score back at Southwell 10 days ago, beaten only a short-head after a troubled passage.

Suited by a sound gallop when getting off the mark in a 7-runner novice at Lingfield (6f, all-weather) in December. Big-field environment here should suit and he's still lightly raced in handicaps, so interesting if ready to roll after nearly 5 months off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat1/7Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat2/5Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat8/9Epsom Downs7f 3yGood to SoftFlat5/6Ffos Las7f 80yHeavyFlat3/4- 8(12)True PromiseJ: Daniel TudhopeT: Fionn McSharry2325522Age 59/19/110/1

It's now 26 runs since his last win in 2024 but he's been largely consistent in defeat this season, filling the runner-up spot for the fourth time in the campaign when second of 6 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm, 10/3) 13 days ago.

Sole career win came in 6f Wolverhampton novice last June and placed a couple of times in turf handicaps later in 2025. Looked a difficult ride on his reappearance at Southwell in February and though he's edged down the weights, others still make more appeal now back on turf.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell6f 16yStandardFlat11/11Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat5/10Pontefract5f 3ySoftFlat3/12Ayr6fSoftFlat3/13Ayr6fSoftFlat11/25- 15(4)Thunderous LoveJ: Rob HornbyT: Jonathan Portman21520-5Age 514/114/112/1

Last in a 17-runner race here on his final start last season but shaped as if retaining all ability when 3¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Arantes Nascimento at Kempton (7f) 31 days ago.

Third at Kempton (6f) in December but hasn't beaten a rival across 4 starts since, albeit probably doing too much too soon in front at Lingfield last time.

Winner over 6f at Hamilton last May and mostly creditable efforts in defeat later in the season, notably when second of 9 at Newmarket (6f, good) on final start. Far too free upped to 7.4f at Beverley on return but yard form remains a bit of a concern here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBeverley7f 96yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat9/10Newmarket (rowley)6fGood to SoftFlat2/9Chelmsford City7fStandardFlat6/10Newbury1mGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat6/15Carlisle5f 182yGoodFlat3/11- 19(19)Serenity DreamJ: Charles BishopT: Tony Carroll-162638Age 518/118/116/1

Scored in Kempton in January and finished in the placings there twice since. Can have a line put through the his eighth-placed finished in a 9-runner race at Goodwood last week, racing in the unfavoured central group, so is worth treating as if still in form.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat8/9Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat3/9Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat6/7Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat2/7Lingfield Park7f 1yStandardFlat6/9- 16(3)Fantasy MasterJ: David EganT: Robert Cowell406551-Age 818/118/116/1

Winless last year for Darryll Holland but caught the eye on debut for this yard in November and built on that promise to win a 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f). Record for previous trainer was patchy but he's clearly still on a workable mark if able to back that up after 5 months off.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChelmsford City6fStandardFlat1/9Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat5/11Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat5/9Ascot5fSoftFlat6/11Nottingham6f 18yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat10/14- 11(6)Rage Of ThunderJ: Rhys ClutterbuckT: Gary & Josh Moore51222-0Age 420/116/118/1

Regular slow starter who opened account at Salisbury (6f) last summer. Good efforts when runner-up in 3 subsequent outings last season and probably needed the run when down the field on his comeback here last week.

Fourth in a big-field York handicap before edging home in a 6f contest at Ripon last summer. Respectable efforts on first 2 starts this year but look uncomfortable with pace when fourth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 18 days ago, Refitting of blinkers rates as a positive move.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPontefract6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/8Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat4/9Newcastle7f 14yStandardFlat4/8Hamilton Park6f 6yGood to SoftFlat9/14Ripon6fGoodFlat1/12- 2(10)Daring LegendJ: Tyler HeardT: Mark Pattinson9160-20Age 533/133/128/1

Runner-up on 4 consecutive occasions in handicaps around 7f this winter prior to recording a deserved success in a 12-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 31 days ago.
