1st (2)  (1.1/1 +45%)Racingbreaks Ryder |
1.1/1(+45%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Racingbreaks Ryder 1.1/1, Off the mark at the fourth attempt at Brighton on final start on 2 yrs and justified strong support to make a successful start in handicaps at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) last month. Improved another chunk when completing the hat-trick at Haydock and drop in tip won't be an issue. Must be progressive to have won at Haydock despite pulling hard; on a roll; fine on soft. |
|||
2nd (4)  (5.5/1 +15%)Tawafag |
5.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tawafag 5.5/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 11-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in November, overcoming positional bias. Better form when second at Lingfield and limit unlikely to have been reached now handicapping. Doesn't look obviously well handicapped but open to improvement for strong yard. |
|||
3rd (1)  (2/1 +40%)Scholarship |
2/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Scholarship 2/1, Well held both starts last summer after a winning debut at Haydock but gelded ahead of reappearance and well prepared to double tally at Newbury 3 weeks ago. Didn't have much in hand on that occasion and a 7 lb rise asks for more. Won nicely on soft at Newbury and he's a big lad open to significant improvement. |
|||
4th (3)  (9/1 +50%)Oj Lifestyle |
9/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Oj Lifestyle 9/1, Caused a big upset in a maiden at Newbury on second start last summer. Matched thar form when second at Chelmsford in November and makes his handicap debut/reappearance for a yard in excellent nick. Useful form but on a toughish mark for his handicap debut and conditions are an unknown. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Based on the information provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, 1.1/1 (2) RACINGBREAKS RYDER seems to have a good track record with recent wins and being
RACINGBREAKS RYDER rates as a progressive colt having gone in again at Haydock recently, and a further 6lb rise may not prevent Charlies Hills' inmate from maintaining a perfect record in handicaps. Scholarship showed a willing attitude when winning on his return at Newbury last month and he isn't taken lightly, despite a 7lb hike in the ratings looking somewhat harsh. In These Shoes is another who is heading in the right direction.
RACINGBREAKS RYDER is a colt firmly on the up, completing the hat-trick at Haydock a fortnight ago, and given how he races, the drop to 7f may actually suit. There is depth to this despite the field size, with In These Shoes and Tawafag the main threats.
Often a strong race and SCHOLARSHIP has the potential to be better than a handicapper. Racingbreaks Ryder is second choice.

1st (3)  (6/1 +25%)Blazeon Five |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Blazeon Five 6/1, Likeable sort who completed a hat-trick on the all-weather in late 2022. Has remained in good form since but it remains to be seen if she's as effective on turf. Flourished over 2m+ on AW; turf mark rose in tandem and she's unraced on softer than good. |
|||
2nd (7)  (40/1 -60%)Monsieur Lambrays |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Monsieur Lambrays 40/1, Temperamental sort who was well held tackling softer ground than previously in 16.2f handicap at York (good to soft) on final outing for Richard Fahey in October. Now 6 lb below last winning mark but needs to hit the ground running for new yard in a change of headgear. Last won in July 2020; sold out of Richard Fahey's for 10,000gns last October. |
|||
3rd (5)  (9/1 +10%)Cogital |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cogital 9/1, Stepped up on reappearance when second of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (16.5f, heavy) 14 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Should remain competitive. Third in this race last year and creditable second at Doncaster (2m, soft) two weeks ago. |
|||
4th (6)  (1.2/1 +40%)Coquelicot |
1.2/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Coquelicot 1.2/1, Fairly useful winner at up to 3m over hurdles and showed much improved form in this sphere when forging clear in a 2m Nottingham (heavy) last month. Ran a bit flat when turned over under a penalty at Pontefract 6 days later but still looks on a fair mark and must enter calculations. Huge player if two quick runs last month have not taken it out of her. |
|||
5th (2)  (10/1 -67%)Ehteyat |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ehteyat 10/1, Much improved on the back of a gelding operation, winning in style on handicap debut at Southwell (14.1f) in January. Defied a penalty at the second attempt there a week later before posting an excellent second at Lingfield. Disappointing last time but worth another chance in first-time cheekpieces. May have more to offer as a stayer after AW wins this year, so not entirely dismissed. |
|||
6th (4)  (3.33/1 +5%)Beny Nahar Road |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Beny Nahar Road 3.33/1, Fairly useful maiden for Richard Hughes, runner-up on 3 of his 5 starts. Acquired for 72,000 gns and interesting to see how he fares in the betting now tackling a different trip for new stable after 6 months off. Also had breathing op since last seen. Left Richard Hughes for 72,000gns; had gelding and wind operations since; unexposed. |
|||
7th (1)  (16/1 +0%)Haliphon |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Haliphon 16/1, Useful on the Flat, recording back-to-back handicap wins at York and Chester last summer. Below that level when second of 5 on hurdling debut at Fakenham in October and ran no sort of race back on the Flat at Thirsk last month. Back up in trip with plenty to prove. Tailed off on return three weeks ago and testing ground looks a concern. |
|||
8th (9)  (14/1 +0%)Diamand De Vindecy |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Diamand De Vindecy 14/1, Fair performer on the Flat in France, won 4 times in 2022. Made the frame in a couple of maiden hurdles for new yard earlier this year but more required back in this code. Last French win over 1m7f on heavy last October but recent hurdles form was lower level. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Based on the summary, the horses that have a higher chance of finishing in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are: 1) 2/1 (6) COQUELICOT - showed much improved form in this sphere when forging clear in a 2m Nottingham (heavy) last month and still looks on a fair mark 2) 10/1 (5) COGITAL - stepped up on reappearance and should remain competitive 3) 6/1 (2) EHTEYAT - May have more to offer as a stayer after AW wins this year, much improved on the back of a gelding operation and worth another chance in first-time cheekpieces. However, it is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and any of the above horses may not necessarily finish in the top 3 positions.
COQUELICOT was perhaps feeling the exertions of her Nottingham triumph six days earlier when runner-up at cramped odds at Pontefract last time, and the seven-year-old looks to have more to offer in this sphere. Beny Nahar Road is an interesting stable debutant for Paul Nicholls and improvement could be forthcoming over this stiffer test. Ehteyat may come on for his return at Lingfield last month and is also noted.
EHTEYAT disappointed last time but he'd shown notable improvement prior to that following a gelding operation and, with the return to turf unlikely to pose a problem, he's worth another chance in first-time cheekpieces. Royaume Uni ought to be up to doing some damage from his current mark in this sphere so is second choice, while Coquelicot and Beny Nahar Road are two other potential threats.
2m in the mud leaves COQUELICOT with the least to prove, as long as her two good efforts last month have not had an adverse effect.

1.1/1(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dawn Charger 1.1/1, Foaled Feb 20. €40,000 Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to 7f-1m winner Sheer Bravado and useful 2-y-o 8.3f winner Serious Challenge. Promising individual. 22/1, second of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) on debut 9 days ago, not knocked about. Sets standard and likely to improve. Pontefract run sets the standard but might be tackling some hot newcomers here. |
|||
2nd (6)  (8/1 -14%)Thanksbutnothanks |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Thanksbutnothanks 8/1, Foaled February 9. €30,000 yearling, £30,000 2-y-o, Ten Sovereigns filly. Dam, 5f-7f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m War Is War out of smart 1¼m/10.5f winner Walkamia. This owner/trainer combination has been going great runs this season with 2yos. |
|||
3rd (5)  (5.5/1 +8%)Je Ne Sais Quoi |
5.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Je Ne Sais Quoi 5.5/1, Foaled March 9. £32,000 yearling, Dandy Man filly. Sister to 6f/7f winner Bellagio Man and 2-y-o 6f winner Ridicule. Dam maiden half-sister to very smart winner up to 7f Rohaan. Noteworthy newcomer. £32,000 yearling out of a half-sister to high-class sprinter Rohaan; interesting. |
|||
4th (1)  (10/1 -11%)Happy Tears |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Happy Tears 10/1, Foaled April 9. 65,000 gns yearling, Dandy Man filly. Sister to useful 5f winner She Can Boogie and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Corazon. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. 11/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Bath (5f, soft) on debut 11 days ago, slowly away. May well do better. Could easily leave her debut Bath running behind, but will need to. |
|||
5th (3)  (5/1 +58%)Shirlaski |
5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shirlaski 5/1, Foaled April 16. 4,000 gns yearling, resold 42,000 gns yearling, Eqtidaar filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Muhtashim. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Indian Days out of smart 2-y-o 5.5f-7f winner Cap Coz. Value rose from 4,000gns to 42,000gns; stable's early 2yos are going well. |
|||
6th (8)  (28/1 -56%)Crooked Crown |
28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Crooked Crown 28/1, Foaled March 11. 11,000 gns yearling, Cable Bay filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1m winner Flashy Snapper and 1m winner Blue Geranium. Dam maiden, third in 1000 Guineas. 11,000gns yearling; stable's only 2yo winner this season had the benefit of a run. |
|||
7th (7)  (10/1 -11%)Willowbank |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Willowbank 10/1, Foaled February 19. 28,000 gns foal, 35,000 gns yearling, Showcasing filly. Dam 1m winner. 35,000gns yearling; stable's first 2yo runner of the season; probably best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Predicted finishes: 1. 3/1 (2) MAJESTIC BEAUTY 2. 6/1 (5) JE NE SAIS QUOI 3. 2.25/1 (4) DAWN CHARGER
DAWN CHARGER sets a fair standard judged on her recent second at Pontefract and Karl Burke's filly could put that experience from her debut to good use here. The biggest threat is likely to come from one of the newcomers, with Majestic Beauty, a half-sister to five winners, feared most. Je Ne Sais Quoi and Thanksbutnothanks also make some appeal on their pedigrees.
Mostly newcomers, and the market will offer more clues, but DAWN CHARGER showed plenty on debut at Pontefract and is the one to beat, with improvement on the cards. Je Ne Sais Quoi and Majestic Beauty are the interesting newcomers, on paper at least.
These days the eyes are forever drawn to an Amo Racing newcomer and Kevin Stott prefers MAJESTIC BEAUTY to their other one.

1st (4)  (2.75/1 +45%)Shagpyle |
2.75/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Shagpyle 2.75/1, Frankel filly. Closely related to 1¾m winner Country Pyle and half-sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Pyledriver and 7f winner Stockpyle. Plenty to like on paper and it'll be very interesting to see how much strength there is behind her in the betting. Fourth foal and a half-sister to the stable's globe-trotting superstar Pyledriver. |
|||
2nd (1)  (11/1 -38%)Quiet Sea |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Quiet Sea 11/1, Sea The Moon half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Maurice Dancer. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Zest. Betting should guide on debut. Positive pedigree and kicks off in what looks a winnable race. |
|||
3rd (2)  (3.33/1 -77%)Rocha Do Leao |
3.33/1(-77%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rocha Do Leao 3.33/1, 80/1, showed ability when fiifth of 16 in maiden at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) on debut 23 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to improve and Buick takes the ride. . Faded into fifth at the Craven meeting; goes further this time and should improve. |
|||
4th (5)  (1.88/1 +16%)So Farhh So Good |
1.88/1(+16%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) So Farhh So Good 1.88/1, 17/2 and hooded, shaped well when fourth of 11 in novice at Lingfield (1m, AW) on debut in November. This trip will suit and leading claims with improvement on the cards. Fourth at Lingfield (1m) in a race dominated by well-bred fillies. |
|||
5th (3)  (5/1 +9%)Sea Me Dance |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sea Me Dance 5/1, Fair form in 3 outings over 1m on AW, finishing fourth of 7 on Southwell reappearance 36 days ago. Steps up in trip for turf debut. Failed to improve on her 2yo form at Southwell but still looks a big player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary, the horse that is most likely to do well is 5/1 (4) SHAGPYLE due to its impressive pedigree and being closely related to successful horses. The horses predicted to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are 5/1 (4) SHAGPYLE, 1.88/1 (2) ROCHA DO LEAO, and 2.25/1 (5) SO FARHH SO GOOD respectively.
Rocha Do Leao made a promising debut when finishing fifth in a race at Newmarket's Craven meeting last month and, with stamina on the dam's side, she should progress upped in distance. She merits respect, along with Sea Me Dance, who bumped into a couple of nice prospects on her first two runs. The daughter of Sea The Stars appeals as the type to improve now switched to turf, but a chance is taken on SHAGPYLE. A half-sister to the classy Pyledriver, the Frankel filly should be ideally suited by this test of stamina and could strike at the first time of asking.
SO FARHH SO GOOD shaped well on her 1m debut last backend and promises to be suited by this longer trip so she earns the vote. Rocha Do Leao showed plenty of ability on her recent Newmarket debut and may give her most to do unless the market vibes are strong for one of the newcomers.
The newcomers are interesting but, as things stand, ROCHA DO LEAO is taken to build on her encouraging start at the Craven meeting.

1st (3)  (1.62/1 +19%)Orazio |
1.62/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Orazio 1.62/1, Made up into a useful 2-y-o in 2021. Missed whole of last year but confirmed promise of his belated reappearance run at Kempton to score in good style at Newmarket (6f) 23 days ago. That was a useful display and highly likely there's more to come. Big shout from 4 lb higher mark. Unexposed and he overcame a troubled passage to lead on the line at Newmarket. |
|||
2nd (8)  (6/1 +8%)Sir Thomas Gresham |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sir Thomas Gresham 6/1, Without a win since 2018 but very lightly raced subsequently and he's shaped with encouragement on 2 of his 3 starts since returning from a lengthy absence, fourth in 15-runner Newbury handicap (6f) 3 weeks ago. Can ill afford another tardy start here, however. Did well to finish fourth of 15 at Newbury (6f, soft) after rearing at the start. |
|||
3rd (5)  (40/1 -233%)Baldomero |
40/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Baldomero 40/1, Versatile 5-y-o (effective over as far as 1¼m) and he ran right up to his best in race that has worked out well when runner-up at Wolverhampton (6f) in March. No surprise to see another good showing if handling underfoot conditions. Two AW wins; 0-8 on the grass and has mostly steered clear of softish ground. |
|||
4th (7)  (12/1 +33%)Able Kane |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Able Kane 12/1, Seen to good effect when running out a ready winner at Ffos Las (7.3f) last summer but ended the campaign in pretty tame fashion and no upturn back from 6 months off at Doncaster 6 weeks ago. Others appeal more for win purposes. His reappearance was forgettable and seems to prefer quicker conditions these days. |
|||
5th (1)  (9/1 +36%)Bickerstaffe |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bickerstaffe 9/1, Progressive in sprint handicaps during 2021, ending campaign with success over C&D in October of that year. Seen only once subsequently, well beaten on yard debut at Newmarket (6f) 12 months ago. Market should prove a useful guide on back of another lengthy absence. Lightly raced in recent times but he's 2-2 over C&D and can go well fresh. |
|||
6th (4)  (5.5/1 +15%)Sterling Knight |
5.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sterling Knight 5.5/1, C&D winner who enjoyed a very productive 2022 campaign, career-best display when landing 12-runner Haydock handicap (6f, heavy) in October. Feasible to think he will come on for last month's reappearance spin at Doncaster (6f) 2 weeks ago and visor may put an extra edge on him now. Capable but the returning visor (7th when tried once before) isn't an obvious positive. |
|||
7th (10)  (3.33/1 +5%)Chairmanoftheboard |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Chairmanoftheboard 3.33/1, Useful sprint handicapper who comes here in excellent form, runner-up in first-time cheekpieces in big field Newmarket handicap (6f) 6 days ago, headed final 100 yds and keeping on. Eased in class turned out quickly and conditions no problem. Lots to like operating from same mark. Solid placed form at HQ the last twice and good chance on ground he handles. |
|||
8th (6)  (16/1 -14%)Marshal Dan |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Marshal Dan 16/1, Newbury winner from 6 lb lower in October and excellent effort from the front when third on return at Redcar (6f, heavy) in April. Rare below par display at first-named venue has followed but he rates a likely type to bounce back. Never easy making all on the straight course here but conditions will be up his street. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
1st place: 2/1 (3) ORAZIO 2nd place: 3.5/1 (10) CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD 3rd place: 14/1 (6) MARSHAL DAN
The form of ORAZIO's recent success took a timely boost when the runner-up struck in a valuable heritage handicap on Guineas weekend, so a subsequent 4lb rise in the ratings could prove to be lenient for the lightly-raced son of Carravggio. The third that day, Chairmanoftheboard, went on to finish second in that same race, and he's worth considering turned out quickly. Sterling Knight was far from disgraced when finishing fourth at Doncaster last month and is another to keep an eye on.
Having confirmed he retains plenty of ability at Kempton in January, ORAZIO put up a useful effort when scoring over this trip at Newmarket 23 days ago, and with the prospect of more to come, he can make another bold bid. Sterling Knight, with his reappearance behind him, is of interest in a first-time visor with conditions holding no fears. Chairmanoftheboard arrives in fine form and also rates a big threat.
Course form can be worth its weight in gold here and BICKERSTAFFE is not only 2-2 over C&D, but also goes well fresh.

1st (6)  (4.5/1 -29%)Prospering |
4.5/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Prospering 4.5/1, Very green in Newbury maiden on debut last year but has developed into a fairly useful sort on AW, again running well when third of 8 in handicap at Kempton last time. Likely to be involved if as effective on turf. Has shown he's on a competitive mark but there are doubts about him on soft. |
|||
2nd (5)  (1.62/1 +19%)Nogo's Dream |
1.62/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Nogo's Dream 1.62/1, Landed the odds in maiden at Wolverhampton in March and seemed stretched by the trip over 7f at Newmarket last time. Remains with potential and makes plenty of appeal. 5f winner who didn't see out the 7f last time; interesting off the same mark. |
|||
3rd (4)  (4.5/1 -50%)Fox Master |
4.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fox Master 4.5/1, Winner at Newcastle in January on debut. Found things tougher under a penalty back there next time and improvement needed now switched to handicap company, but he's in good hands and, of course, it's still early days. First and fifth on the AW; twice taken out of soft-ground engagements. |
|||
4th (3)  (8/1 +6%)Love Affairs |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Love Affairs 8/1, Fairly useful form for Clive Cox but hasn't yet fired for new yard and others make more appeal. Wellbeing is an issue but her ability to handle these conditions ticks a big box. |
|||
5th (2)  (5.5/1 +45%)Sergeant Pep |
5.5/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sergeant Pep 5.5/1, Off the mark at the second attempt at Wolverhampton in December. Disappointing since but had an excuses last time and it's too soon to write him off. Now has something to prove and conditions are a massive grey area. |
|||
6th (1)  (8/1 +6%)Priors Dell |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Priors Dell 8/1, Dual winner last season and signed off with a respectable fourth in a nursery at Nottingham 7 months ago. Needs more but he's not fully exposed. Two wins as a juvenile; may improve again but perhaps quicker ground suits. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
1st: Remains with potential and makes plenty of appeal. 2nd: Dual winner last season and signed off with a respectable fourth in a nursery at Nottingham 7 months ago. 3rd: 3.5/1 (6) PROSPERING, Has shown he's on a competitive mark but there are doubts about him on soft.
NOGO'S DREAM ran an excellent race over further in a competitive handicap at Newmarket last month, and the drop back in trip should suit as he looks to bounce back to winning ways. Richard Hughes' charge is preferred to the likes of handicap debutant Fox Master and Prospering, who ran well at Kempton last time out but has not been in action on turf since last October.
NOGO'S DREAM shaped well prior to seeming stretched by the longer trip at Newmarket last time and, back over a more suitable distance, he could take the beating. Fox Master is a big danger and Prospering should play a part if he can convert his AW form back to turf.
This is very trappy with so precious little soft-ground form to work with. NOGO'S DREAM might be the answer.

1st (4)  (1/1 +50%)Docklands |
1/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Docklands 1/1, Debut race last summer worked out well and he completed a simple task in ready fashion on his second start back in maiden at Kempton (7f) 23 days ago. Expected to make his mark in handicaps for a bang in-form yard. Entitled to win at Kempton but looks very progressive and this mark could be lenient. |

2nd (3)  (3/1 +10%)Prince Of Zenda |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Prince Of Zenda 3/1, Continued race-by-race progression when runner-up at Kempton (8f) back in November, proving vulnerable only late on having been given a positive ride upped in trip. Visor applied for handicap bow and could have a say having been gelded in the interim. Talented last season now gelded and in headgear; could be a big improver. |

3rd (8)  (8/1 -14%)Stage Show |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Stage Show 8/1, Took a big step forward from debut when sixth in Doncaster maiden in October and ran well after 6 months off when fourth on all-weather debut at Kempton (7f) last month. May do better still now upped in trip switched to handicaps. Promising qualifying runs (the once on soft) and can pay his way in handicaps. |
|||
4th (2)  (5.5/1 +27%)Bussento |
5.5/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bussento 5.5/1, Best effort when runner-up in 15-runner novice event at Newbury on final juvenile outing. Bit below that level this term, fading only late having raced up with the pace when mid-field on handicap debut at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) last month. Decent 2yo form but has yet to tap into that promise this season. |
|||
5th (7)  (33/1 -136%)Classic Speed |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Classic Speed 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden who was well held after 7 months off at Leicester (7f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut. Could be on a good mark but perhaps one for another day under quicker conditions. |
|||
6th (6)  (18/1 -13%)Ludo's Landing |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ludo's Landing 18/1, More exposed than most of these after a 9-race juvenile campaign but ran creditably after 6 months off when third at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 11 days ago. Solid each-way claims. Only 1-10; only third on soft-ground return and may prefer drier conditions. |
|||
7th (5)  (22/1 -57%)Land Of Summer |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Land Of Summer 22/1, Cheap purchase who made a winning debut at Brighton in April last year and reached the frame 3 times subsequently in the season. However, ended 2022 on a low and fared no better after 7 months off at Newmarket just over 3 weeks ago. Others preferred. Down the field at Newmarket (second handicap start) and needs to leave that behind. |

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will win. However, some of the horses that may perform well are 7.5/1 (2) BUSSENTO, 2/1 (4) DOCKLANDS, and Prince of Zenda. For 1st place, 2/1 (4) DOCKLANDS and Prince of Zenda may be strong contenders. For 2nd place, 7.5/1 (2) BUSSENTO or 7.5/1 (1) SIGNCASTLE CITY could be potential choices. For 3rd place, 16/1 (6) LUDO'S LANDING or 7/1 (8) STAGE SHOW may have solid each-way claims. It is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable, and any of these horses could surprise and perform better or worse than expected.
DOCKLANDS may have been a comfortable winner at Kempton last time out, but it is the form of his previous effort at Wolverhampton that stands out when runner-up to the smart Cicero's Gift. A mark of 80 could underestimate the three-year-old on his handicap debut and he may have too much for Prince of Zenda, who has not finished outside of the first three home in all of his starts so far. Ludo's Landing and Stage Show cannot be ruled out either.
A few in with a squeak but DOCKLANDS completed a simple task in ready fashion to open his account at Kempton just over 3 weeks ago and, with improvement on the cards now handicapping, Harry Eustace's charge is fancied to follow up. Signcastle City shaped as if he would come on for the run at Haydock recently so he may emerge as the main danger, with the experienced Ludo's Landing rounding off the shortlist.
There are reasons to believe that DOCKLANDS (nap) has got in lightly for his first handicap and his sire was effective on soft going.

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.
