Stewards Note:
SONMARG: Following its run on 26/3/2025 it was reported that the horse ran too free.
ZAMAN DAAR: Following its run on 12/4/2025 it was reported that the horse was denied a clear run.
PAPA DON’T PREACH: Following its run on 7/4/2025 it was reported that the horse hung right-handed throughout.
Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Calafrio (GB), 6-1 Thunderous Love (GB), 7-1 Papa Don’t Preach (IRE), 15-2 Zaman Daar (IRE), 11-1 Sonmarg (IRE), 12-1 Enderman (GB), 14-1 Radiant Angel (IRE), 20-1 McCauley’s Tavern (IRE), 22-1 Gypsy Nation (IRE), 33-1 Kohana Girl (IRE) PLAY SMARTER
THUNDEROUS LOVE did well to come from the rearto beat a pair of prominent racers at Southwell and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up if turning up in similar form. Calafrio and Zaman Daar head up the dangers.

ART OF FOX: Following its run on 31/3/2025 it was reported that the horse jumped awkwardly from the stalls.

INCONSPICUOUS: Following its run on 27/3/2025 it was reported that the horse never travelled.

CITY OF STRANGERS proved a different proposition when making a winning handicap debut at Redcar 8 days ago She looks very well in under a penalty on that evidence and looks the way to go if taking up this engagement. Monticristo Boy following a good reappearance run on all-weather and Rumba Bay are others to consider Olympic Melody is another to note having been well backed last time.

EXPRESSIONLESS caught the eye when staying on into third over an inadequate trip on his recent seasonal reappearance at Newbury and, with that run under his belt and moving back up in trip here, he looks the way to go He may have most to fear from Sir Geoff Hurst but Damascus Steel is also entitled to respect having slipped to a nice mark.

Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Under The Twilight (GB), 10-3 Yokkell (IRE), 4-1 Noisy Jazz (GB), 5-1 Bint Al Daar (GB), 11-2 Bellarchi (IRE)
It’s been a while since UNDER THE TWILIGHT last raced over this far but she was staying on at the business end when third on her reappearance at Doncaster, leaving the impression that another crack at this distance could be in order She gets the nod ahead of likely pace angle Bellarchi, who is well treated on the pick of her 2024 form. Noisy Jazz was too free when returning to action at Newmarket and should be sharper now but stablemates Bint Al Daar and Yokkell may find this trip too sharp
