The market should reveal plenty but the vote goes to ANGEL SENSE, who shaped well when runner-up on her recent debut at Kempton and can go one better now. Beverley scorer Bayside looks open to more progress now stepping up to 6f and rates the main threat, although all the newcomers bring potential, notably Crazy Cubana and Havana Grey Star

Stewards Note: QARREEB: Following its run on 8/4/2026 it was reported that the horse hung right-handed on the bend.

LIGHTING THUNDER looked a sure-fire winner when a promising runner-up in a big-field Newbury maiden on his return so gets the nod here over Romanticizing, who also shaped well when a debut Kempton third and shouldn’t be underestimated for his top yard Qarreeb and Midsummer Storm can fight it out for minor honours.

VALKYRIE STORM got off the mark in good style over C&D last time and is taken to defy a 3lb weights rise at the chief expense of Ed Walker’s Empirical who appeals as a likely improver now stepping into handicap company. Sailor Batt is pretty consistent so also needs considering.

Stewards Note:
INTRUSIVELY: Following its run on 20/4/2026 it was reported that the horse never travelled. Probable S.P’s: 6-1 Helm Rock (GB), Winston’s Warrior (IRE), 7-1 Leadenhall (GB), 15-2 Youarenotforgiven (GB), 8-1 Asteverdi (GB), 10-1 Barry’s Boy (IRE), 12-1 Orangesandlemons (GB), 14-1 Principality (IRE), 16-1 Tiger (FR), 20-1 Aspull (GB), 33-1 Degale (GB), 40-1 Intrusively (GB), Port Erin (IRE)
PLAY SMARTER
A case can be made for a few of these but LEADENHALL made a promising recent return when fifth at Pontefract and can capitalise on a 2lb lower mark here. James Owen’s new recruit Asteverdi could emerge as the main danger on the back of an encouraging Musselburgh third, although Principality, Winston’s Warrior and Orangesandlemons can all play a part too.

PLAY SMARTER
HERAKLES looks primed for a bold showing on the back of a promising recent Newcastle second so is taken to give Paul Midgley a third consecutive winner of this sprint. Westgate Warrior should strip sharper for his Southwell second and rates the main danger ahead of handicap debutant Donald.
