1st (5)  (10/1 -67%)Arctic Thunder |
10/1(-67%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Arctic Thunder 10/1, Different proposition on second start when landing 10-runner maiden at Kempton in January. Just a fair fourth in a better race over 1m a month later but he's in top hands ahead of handicap/turf debut. Fourth of five behind Notable Speech at Kempton when last seen; makes turf debut. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/4 +0%)Accumulate |
11/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Accumulate 11/4, Calyx colt who produced a promising first effort when second at Ascot in September and justified favouritism both starts since, namely a maiden at Newmarket and a novice at Lingfield. Can leave bare form behind now handicapping at 3 yrs. Progressive in three starts last autumn; may need further now but should be better to come. |
|||
3rd (1)  (2/1 -6%)Dragon Leader |
2/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dragon Leader 2/1, Won first 3 starts before finding only one too strong in 17-runner valuable sales race at Doncaster (6.5f) in September. Stood out on form and duly landed the odds in the 2-y-o Trophy at Redcar and no surprise were he have more to offer as a 3-y-o. Handicap debut. Won four of five as a 2yo including two big sales races; major player if in the same form. |
|||
4th (6)  (2/1 +80%)American Bay |
2/1(+80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) American Bay 2/1, Fairly useful form when placed on all 3 starts after debut last year and reappearance fourth at Newbury was really encouraging, denied a clear run and keeping on well. Looks well weighted. 0-5 but has twice gone close and got no run on his reappearance; worth a second look. |
|||
5th (3)  (20/1 -233%)Geologist |
20/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Geologist 20/1, Well placed by connections to win a Ripon novice and a listed race kin Germany at 2 yrs. Not in quite the same form in Meydan this year, albeit latest second in first-time cheekpieces was a bit more like it. Doesn't possess the scope of some now handicapping. Last five runs have been abroad; ran with credit in Meydan but relatively exposed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A highly progressive colt last season, with valuable successes at York and Redcar, DRAGON LEADER appeals as just the type to progress over further at three. The son of El Kabeir is top-weight for good reason and he could have too much class for Accumulate, who arrives on a hat-trick after supplementing a breakthrough Newmarket triumph when upped to 1m at Lingfield in November. Arctic Thunder ran with plenty of credit when less than three lengths behind subsequent 2000 Guineas hero Notable Speech at Kempton most recently and he is another to consider.
AMERICAN BAY's reappearance run at Newbury was chock-full of promise, sure to have finished closer with a clear run, and he can prove himself to be well handicapped this time. Dragon Leader was a pretty talented 2-y-o and he has to be feared, with Accumulate a potential improver for his top yard.
It may be worth siding with AMERICAN BAY who would have finished much nearer had he enjoyed a clear run on his Newbury return.

(1)  (22/1 -57%)Lift Lady |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lift Lady 22/1, Foaled April 1. 38,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear filly. Sister to 7f winner Lady Onyx. Dam 5f winner out of useful 7f winner Dangle. 3/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at Leicester (5f, heavy) on debut 13 days ago. Beaten a long way when favourite for her Leicester debut; big improvement is needed. |
|||
1st (2)  (5/6 +40%)Miss Rascal |
5/6(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Miss Rascal 5/6, Foaled April 8. Havana Gold filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 9f winner Up And Under.Promising type. 9/2, sixth of 13 in maiden at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) on debut 23 days ago, finishing with running left. Likely to improve and highly respected. Caught the eye when sixth on her Newmarket debut; major player with the run under her belt. |
|||
2nd (6)  (4/1 +0%)Naana's Diamond |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Naana's Diamond 4/1, Foaled March 6. €30,000 yearling, Invincible Army filly. Dam unraced out of Prix de Sandringham/Prix Chloe winner Rock Me Baby. Promising individual. Second of 12 in minor event (8/1) at Thirsk (5f, heavy) on debut 20 days ago. May well do better. Second on her Thirsk debut; will probably need to improve a fair bit in order to win this. |
|||
3rd (7)  (9/2 +18%)Dolce Vitta |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dolce Vitta 9/2, Foaled April 22. Cotai Glory filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Glamorously. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f winner. One to note on debut. Stable does have 2yos go in first time and she is worth a market check. |
|||
4th (5)  (22/1 -38%)Kylie Of Lochalsh |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kylie Of Lochalsh 22/1, Foaled April 4. 16,000 gns foal, 22,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Eyelool and 7f/1m winner Petticoat Rule. Stable has the occasional 2yo winner first time out; market may reveal more. |
|||
5th (4)  (22/1 -175%)Double O One |
22/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Double O One 22/1, Foaled March 18. 40,000 gns foal, 30,000 gns yearling, Showcasing filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 5f winner Lucy Lulu and 2-y-o 7f winner Lufu. Stable's 2yos are usually better for a run. |
|||
6th (3)  (10/1 -100%)Miss Show Down |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Miss Show Down 10/1, Foaled February 14. 52,000 gns yearling, Showcasing filly. Sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Miss Show Off. Dam useful Italian winner up to 1m (2-y-o 5f winner). Stable won this race with a newcomer in 2018 and 2021; watch the market. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
MISS RASCAL caught the eye on her introduction at Newmarket when carried left at the start before staying on well late in the piece for sixth. With normal improvement expected, she looks well capable of breaking the maiden ahead of Naana's Diamond, who ran an excellent race first time out when second at Thirsk. Dolce Vitta is an interesting newcomer, while the Clive Cox stable has been going well of late and his debutant Miss Show Down is also worth a second look.
MISS RASCAL very much caught the eye on debut at Newmarket last month, and looks the one to beat. Nanna's Diamond also shaped well on debut, while Dolce Vitta and Miss Show Down are interesting newcomers.
The choice is MISS RASCAL who went into plenty of notebooks when a fast-finishing sixth of 13 on her Newmarket debut.

1st (3)  (7/1 +72%)Nakheel |
7/1(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Nakheel 7/1, 14/1, very green in 7f Chelmsford event on debut in November. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Well held on her Chelmsford debut last November; needs to improve; tongue-tie on. |
|||
2nd (5)  (3/1 -20%)Queen Of Soldiers |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Queen Of Soldiers 3/1, 100,000 gns foal, €380,000 yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 1m winner My Lion. Dam British/French winner up to 12.5f (2-y-o 1m winner). Likely type on paper and Ribblesdale entry catches the eye. Something to like on breeding and she has a Ribblesdale entry; market support significant. |
|||
3rd (1)  (15/2 +25%)Hillbridge |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hillbridge 15/2, Frankel filly. Dam, 6f winner who stayed 1m, half-sister to US Grade 1 1m (including Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf) winner Newspaperofrecord. 7/1, carrying condition and green when well held on debut at Newmarket (1m) 3 weeks ago. Up in trip. Well held on her Newmarket debut but pedigree suggests she can do better. |
|||
4th (6)  (6/1 -167%)Queens Fort |
6/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Queens Fort 6/1, Galileo filly. Closely related to 1½m winner March Moon, from the family of Oaks/Irish Oaks winner (2-y-o 7f winner) Sariska. Ribblesdale entry and one to note. Stable won this with a newcomer in 2022 and enough in her pedigree to make her of interest. |
|||
5th (4)  (11/4 +0%)Pure Of Heart |
11/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pure Of Heart 11/4, 120,000 gns Awtaad filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 8.3f winner Laafiraaq and useful 11.4f/12.4f winner Cross My Mind. 4/1, bred to be useful, was well backed and made a promising start in 1m Sandown maiden in September. Should improve up in trip for in-form yard. Fair form when fourth on last September's Sandown debut; the longer trip should suit. |
|||
6th (2)  (9/2 +10%)Min Huna |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Min Huna 9/2, Dubawi filly. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to very smart 2-y-o 7f winner Saamidd and smart 1½m winner Talmada. Likely type first time up. Enough to like on pedigree and the market should be informative. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Fresh off a notable success in the 1000 Guineas last Sunday, Roger Varian could have another smart filly on his hands in the shape of expensive newcomer QUEEN OF SOLDIERS. Her Listed-winning dam struck first time out and she is narrowly preferred to Pure Of Heart, who shaped with plenty of promise when fourth on her introduction over a mile at Sandown back in September. A well-bred daughter of Galileo, Queens Fort is one to monitor for market support as she makes her debut for strong connections.
This could go to one of the newcomers from the big Newmarket yards, with QUEEN OF SOLDIERS chanced over Queens Fort before market clues. Pure of Heart shaped well on debut at Sandown in September and will improve, so must be respected.
This can go to the debutante QUEENS FORT, a Ribblesdale entry whose stable won this race with a newcomer two years ago.

(11)  (14/1 -75%)Bernardo O'reilly |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Bernardo O'reilly 14/1, Veteran who showed he still has plenty to offer off a sliding mark when not beaten far at Newbury 3 weeks ago, though others preferred on this occasion. On a good mark and ran well at Newbury latest; this isn't sure to be run to suit though. |
|||
1st (4)  (8/1 +0%)Glenfinnan |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Glenfinnan 8/1, Won 7f classified event here in September but no better than 4th tried in handicaps otherwise. Probably needed the run back sprinting on return for new yard (sold from Andrew Balding 50,000 gns) but others appeal more. Course win (7f) for Andrew Balding last September; made a low-key stable debut last month. |
|||
2nd (7)  (10/3 +52%)Billyjoh |
10/3(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Billyjoh 10/3, Back-to-back winner on the AW in February and continues to go from strength to strength, just failing at Southwell 2 weeks ago. Seems just as effective on turf and firmly in the picture. Good 2nd at Southwell 12 days ago; 3lb well in; likely to give a good account. |
|||
3rd (3)  (4/1 +20%)Russet Gold |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Russet Gold 4/1, Scored at Redcar last summer but came up short in 3 subsequent starts and will probably find a few too good once again on return. Effective over C&D and still brings low mileage; needs a personal best but that's possible. |
|||
4th (6)  (14/1 -75%)The Big Board |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Big Board 14/1, Much improved in 2023, winning 3 times, including off 2 lb higher over 5f here in July. Signed off with a poor run in the Portland at Doncaster and beat only one home at Newmarket on return, but too soon to be writing her off. Course winner; on a good mark if last month's reappearance has sharpened her up. |
|||
5th (1)  (12/1 +45%)The X O |
12/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The X O 12/1, Dual AW winner who posted best effort for a while when 1½ lengths seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW). Failed to back that up at Newcastle 6 weeks ago but career best was over this C&D last season when runner-up in a Group 3. Best effort came over C&D one year ago; gelded since latest start; down in class; chance. |
|||
6th (5)  (10/1 +0%)Raatea |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Raatea 10/1, Down the field at Newmarket on return but won second time back last season off a similar mark so not taken lightly. Should step up from reappearance; well treated on best form last year; cheekpieces back on. |
|||
7th (2)  (11/2 +31%)Grand Traverse |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Grand Traverse 11/2, Made a winning stable/handicap debut at Newcastle (6f, 2/1) on return but disappointed back on turf at Newbury since. Impressive at Newcastle on stable/handicap debut; far less convincing at Newbury latest. |
|||
8th (9)  (15/2 -25%)Dream Composer |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dream Composer 15/2, Improver last year, winning 3 times. Likely to have added to that tally at Goodwood (5f, heavy) last week but for a slow start so shortlisted off the same mark. Last week's fast-finishing third at Goodwood may be flattering; vulnerable at a stiff 6f. |
|||
9th (10)  (8/1 -60%)Eminency |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Eminency 8/1, Progressed into a useful sprinter last season despite not winning. Excuses at Newmarket in July and off since. Sold from Clive Cox 100,000 gns in October and gelded. Type to improve further at 4 yrs. Tongue strap on 1st time. Yet to win a handicap but had some good form in defeat for C Cox last year; check market. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Dream Composer finished a close-up third in a class 2 event at Goodwood last week and he goes off an unchanged mark, so he would be foolish to dismiss. However, preference is for BILLYJOH, who was only denied by a neck in second at Southwell and the four-year-old is able to compete off the same rating, despite being bumped up 3lb since. Grand Traverse and Russet Gold are just two others to consider.
BILLYJOH took another step forward when making a fellow improver pull out all the stops at Southwell 12 days ago and remains of interest off the same mark back on turf. Dream Composer is ready to strike judged on last week's run at Goodwood so is another to consider along with Eminency, who looks the type to make a better 4-y-o for a new yard.
Plenty of possibles but the return of cheekpieces tips the scales in favour of RAATEA. Billyjoh can chase him home.

(7)  (10/3 +0%)Jimmy Speaking |
10/3(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jimmy Speaking 10/3, Lightly-raced son of Territories who resumed with a career-best win in 5-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 7/2) 22 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so big shout despite a 6 lb rise. Won return at Chelmsford last month; this race looks tougher but he is at least in form. |
|||
(4)  (4/1 +60%)Mashadi |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mashadi 4/1, Still a maiden but he has taken his form up a level this term for new yard (formerly with Dominic Ffrench Davis), blinkers on when fifth of 17 in 6f Newmarket handicap 22 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. 0-8 but runner-up six times; could go well again but others are preferred for the win. |
|||
(1)  (5/1 +29%)Imperial Guard |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Imperial Guard 5/1, Got off the mark with something to spare in 6f Kempton minor event in March. Odds-on when last of 3 in handicap at there since but worth another chance on his turf debut. All four starts on Kempton AW; something to prove after moderate effort on handicap debut. |
|||
(3)  (11/2 +31%)Angel Of England |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Angel Of England 11/2, Opened his account at third time of asking in Nottingham novice (6.1f) in August and wasn't disgraced in more competitive event at York since. Not discounted on switch to handicapping with cheekpieces added. Returns from 260 days off in first-time cheekpieces; worth a second look. |
|||
(9)  (10/1 -25%)Onthemoneyhoney |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Onthemoneyhoney 10/1, Debut 6f Windsor winner but only tenth of 11 in minor event at Goodwood (7f, soft) final run. Off 7 months with more needed now going into handicaps. Didn't go on after a successful debut last summer but she may have had excuses. |
|||
(5)  (11/1 +45%)North View |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) North View 11/1, Expert Eye colt who opened his account in 7-runner maiden at Bath (5.7f, firm) in September. Looked to have more to offer but he came in last of 17 in 6f Newmarket handicap on his return. Needs to get back on track. Showed ability in three starts last year but failed to beat a rival on Newmarket return. |
|||
(8)  (11/1 -38%)Western |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Western 11/1, Fair maiden who returned with a good third of 6 in handicap (10/3) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 32 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Ought to be in the shake-up. 0-7 but four minor honours; may come on from last month's reappearance; blinkers on. |
|||
(10)  (16/1 -146%)Flavour Maker |
16/1(-146%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Flavour Maker 16/1, Promising Windsor second in September but failed to build on it when fourth of 13 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 7 months ago. May still do better on his handicap debut. Makes his handicap debut after 225 days; respected, especially if the ground dries out. |
|||
(6)  (18/1 -29%)Daring Legend |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Daring Legend 18/1, Impressive winner of 6f Newcastle handicap in March but his run of good form ended when last of 11 there (6f) 42 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Newcastle AW winner in March but failed to beat a rival over that same C&D last time. |
|||
(13)  (33/1 -136%)Spirited Lad |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Spirited Lad 33/1, Fair form shown when third in 6f minor events at Kempton and Lingfield in January. Off 105 days but can't be ruled out now going handicapping. Makes his turf/handicap debut after 105 days off having been gelded; not dismissed. |
|||
(11)  (40/1 -433%)Angel's Call |
40/1(-433%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Angel's Call 40/1, Took his form up a level when landing 8-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 36 days ago. Much respected now making his handicap debut. Won on Wolverhampton AW last month; needs more to make a successful turf/handicap debut. |
|||
(12)  (40/1 -60%)Tiger Tulip |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Tiger Tulip 40/1, Got off the mark in 6f Wolverhampton maiden but only sixth of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW) later in October. Others look better weighted here on her handicap debut. Wolverhampton maiden winner last autumn; needs better returned to turf after 196 days off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Mashadi ran well for fifth in a class 2 event at Newmarket and he will appreciate this drop in grade off 1lb lower. However, he might come out second best to JIMMY SPEAKING, who made a victorious return to action when going in by just over two lengths at Chelmsford. Chris Dwyer's three-year-old could have plenty more to offer now that he has got his head in front, and he can go in again. Imperial Guard and Western aren't out of it either.
JIMMY SPEAKING took his form up a couple of notches when going in at Chelmsford City last time and a 6 lb rise in the weights may not prove sufficient to prevent him from following up. Mashadi comes here in very good nick too and could emerge as the main danger, although a host of others can't be discounted, including Western, Imperial Guard, Pen Portrait, Angel of England and Flavour Maker.
This can go to ONTHEMONEYHONEY who didn't build on a winning debut in two further outings last year but it's possible to excuse both.

(5)  (11/4 +45%)Teraabb |
11/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Teraabb 11/4, Stepped up on his juvenile form when making a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Newbury (7f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. The way he stayed on to lead close home suggests this step up to 1m should suit. High on the shortlist. Made a winning return at Newbury and 1m should suit; stable has done well in this race. |
|||
(8)  (4/1 +50%)The Ice Phoenix |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Ice Phoenix 4/1, Won 7-runner novice at Lingfield (7f) in November. Creditable efforts in handicaps at Wolverhampton and Newmarket this year. Ought to be competitive again Ran well when third at Newmarket last time; each-way claims at least from the same mark. |
|||
(1)  (5/1 -67%)Suspicion |
5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Suspicion 5/1, Has looked useful when winning 1m novices on AW this year. Should be more to come now handicapping on the grass. Big player. Won two AW novices; more needed on turf/handicap debut but open to further improvement. |
|||
(2)  (13/2 +35%)Crown Estate |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Crown Estate 13/2, air form at 2 and didn't need to improve to make a winning return from wind surgery (also gelded) in 1m Newcastle maiden in March. Too free when well held in 1m Newmarket handicap since and will need to settle better here. Won well on Newcastle AW reappearance but well beaten back on turf; bit to prove. |

(6)  (13/2 +19%)Break The Bank |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Break The Bank 13/2, Stepped up on his 2-y-o form when justifying strong market support on his 1m Kempton handicap debut in March but not in the same form when sixth of 13 on turf at Newmarket since. 1-1 on AW but 0-4 on turf; pedigree suggests there should still be better to come from him. |
|||
(12)  (7/1 +72%)Bigbertiebassett |
7/1(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Bigbertiebassett 7/1, 7f novice winner for Tom Dascombe last year. Well held in 1m Kempton nursery on first start for new yard in November. Off since. Best to look elsewhere. Doncaster novice winner last year; market informative after six months off. |
|||
(7)  (15/2 +25%)Zain Blue |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Zain Blue 15/2, Fairly useful form in maiden/novice events, although he was a little below his best when third of 13 on 1m Newcastle reappearance. Tackles handicap company for the first time now. Plenty of promise when runner-up in first two starts last summer, but hasn't built on it. |
|||
(4)  (16/1 -129%)Boyfriend |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Boyfriend 16/1, Improved when making a winning handicap debut on heavy ground at Newbury (7f) last autumn. Had a bit in hand so a 3 lb rise doesn't look too severe. Claims if fully primed for reappearance. Not seen since off the mark in a Newbury nursery last September; watch market on return. |
|||
(3)  (20/1 -150%)Let's Dream |
20/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Let's Dream 20/1, Soft-ground maiden winner at 2. Respectable fourth in 1¼m Doncaster handicap on reappearance a fortnight ago. Back down in trip now. 1m2f soft-ground winner; the shorter trip and drying ground could pose a question. |
|||
(11)  (25/1 -79%)Double Jump |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Double Jump 25/1, Proved a different proposition switched to a nursery when landing a 7-runner event at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in September but not in the same form when only seventh of 9 on 7f Newmarket reappearance 24 days ago. Bounce back needed., Doncaster winner last year; drying ground may not be ideal; not bred to stay this far. |
|||
(9)  (33/1 -175%)The Smiling Wolf |
33/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Smiling Wolf 33/1, Ffos Las handicap winner in the mud last autumn. Strong in the betting but ran poorly when a remote fourth of 6 on his 7f Haydock reappearance. Stable's good form provides hope that he can shrug that off but others more solid. 1-9; probably needed his recent reappearance but looks vulnerable to an improver. |
|||
(10)  (33/1 -32%)Aljezur |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Aljezur 33/1, Fair maiden. 10/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 24 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Has work to do. 0-7; he isn't building on early promise and now looks risky; tongue-tie on. |
|||
(14)  (40/1 -150%)Rey De La Batalla |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Rey De La Batalla 40/1, Much improved when winning handicaps at Lingfield (7f) and Kempton (1m) this year but his winning run came to a halt back at Kempton last time. Well held on previous turf start. Won twice on AW this year but behind Break The Bank in hat-trick bid; others more solid. |
|||
(13)  (40/1 +0%)Commander Crouch |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Commander Crouch 40/1, 7f winner for Richard Hannon at 2. Better effort for new yard this year when sixth of 11 over 8.5f at Epsom last month but he never threatened. 1-2 on the AW but 0-11 on turf and well held in both starts for this yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TERAABB did well to open his account from the rear at Newbury last month and there should be more to come. A 3lb higher rating for Charlie Fellowes' inmate looks workable, with this step up from 7f expected to unlock further potential. The biggest threat may emerge from the hat-trick seeking Suspicion, who tries turf for the first time and makes his handicap bow off what appears a fair mark. Boyfriend signed off his juvenile campaign with a Newbury victory and could have more to offer this term.
Dual AW winner SUSPICION looks capable of even better and can make light of top weight on his turf and handicap debut. The step up to 1m promises to suit last month's Newbury scorer Teraabb and he's second choice ahead of The Ice Phoenix.
The vote goes to TERAABB (nap) who gave the impression a mile would suit him even better after last month's successful Newbury return.

(4)  (11/10 +12%)Baileys Khelstar |
11/10(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Baileys Khelstar 11/10, Fairly useful as a 3yo and returned with an improved showing to readily make all at Southwell 12 days ago. Should get his own way in front again, so looks the one to beat. 4lb well in under a penalty after bolting up on his Southwell return; hard to beat. |
|||
(7)  (5/1 +58%)Cherry Cola |
5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cherry Cola 5/1, Reliable on the Flat and doubled her tally for the season in 7-runner handicap at Bath (good to firm). Respectable third under a penalty there 3 days later. Underperformed back over hurdles since and may need this return from 7 months off. Can go well fresh so 229-day absence not a major issue, but slightly shorter may suit best. |
|||
(5)  (11/2 -65%)Hedonista |
11/2(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hedonista 11/2, Progressive last season and improved to get off the mark at Kempton 7 months ago. Type to make a better 4yo and merits respect. 2-4 on the AW last year and 0-2 on turf; still lightly raced and may have more to offer. |
|||
(1)  (15/2 +17%)Crescent Lake |
15/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Crescent Lake 15/2, Three-time winner last season and, while not at best so far this term, he was better than he could show when eighth at Kempton last time. Not completely dismissed. Last three starts leave plenty to be desired; still to prove he wants this far on the Flat. |
|||
(2)  (17/2 -70%)Clansman |
17/2(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Clansman 17/2, Has returned in flying form, easy winner of handicaps at Thirsk/here over 14f last month and produced two solid efforts since, third at Ripon last time. Should be thereabouts again. Most consistent since returning in March (21123) but drying ground would be a concern. |
|||
(8)  (9/1 +44%)Anisoptera |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Anisoptera 9/1, Has been holding his form well this year and again didn't have much go his way (poorly positioned) when sixth at Chelmsford last time. This stiff track will suit and he's worthy of consideration. Stays well with all four wins on the AW coming over 2m, but rarely seen on turf these days. |
|||
(6)  (16/1 -14%)Foveros |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Foveros 16/1, Good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, soft, 16/1) 21 days ago. Lightly raced on Flat in the last few seasons but he's well handicapped on his best form for Willie Mullins, so claims if he can build on latest hurdling outing. Losing run up to 14 and others make greater appeal on his return to the level. |
|||
(3)  (28/1 -40%)Motazzen |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Motazzen 28/1, Ended a losing run from a career-low mark when seeing off 13 rivals at Nottingham on penultimate Flat outing for George Baker last season but has made an inauspicous start over hurdles for this yard. Others make more appeal. 1-18 in Britain; showed little in three starts over hurdles for this yard; lots to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A 264-day layoff proved no barrier to success as BAILEYS KHELSTAR made light work of his opposition at Southwell in late April. The Cloth Of Stars gelding is effectively 4lb well-in under a 5lb penalty and a double could beckon. Hedonista capped off last season with a victory over this trip at Kempton and Ed Walker's filly may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Clansman, who arrives in good heart.
BAILEYS KHELSTAR had plenty to spare when scoring at Southwell on reappearance and Archie Young's claim negates the penalty, so he's fancied to get the better of Hedonista, who was successful on her final outing last year. Clansman is another one to consider.
It's hard to knock BAILEYS KHELSTAR who is 4lb well in under a penalty for his impressive reappearance at Southwell 12 days ago.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
