1st (1)  (4/1 -78%)Zabeel Road |
4/1(-78%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zabeel Road 4/1, Foaled February 3. €32,000 Invincible Spirit colt. Dam, winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 6.7f winner) who stayed 1½m, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Belcarra. Much respected newcomer from top stable. First foal from a Listed-placed 2yo winner; no surprise if he features on debut. |
|||
2nd (6)  (11/4 -57%)Harswell Dandy |
11/4(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Harswell Dandy 11/4, 40/1, second of 11 in novice at Pontefract (5f, heavy) on debut 7 days ago. Best of those with experience. Knew her job and ran well from the front when second at Pontefract; obvious contender. |
|||
3rd (5)  (9/1 -157%)Far Above Mary |
9/1(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Far Above Mary 9/1, Twice-raced filly. Stepped up on debut when fourth of 8 in novice at Wolverhampton (5f) 21 days ago. First start on turf. Lacked the pace to make a challenge but kept on for fourth in two AW novice races. |
|||
4th (2)  (11/2 +54%)Marry The Night |
11/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Marry The Night 11/2, 28/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, heavy, 28/1) on debut 20 days ago, met some trouble. Should be sharper for the experience. Made low-key debut when never-dangerous fifth of seven at Thirsk (heavy). |
|||
5th (4)  (12/1 +0%)Elementary Charge |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Elementary Charge 12/1, Foaled April 10. 20,000 gns Mehmas filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 7f/1m winner Naifah and 2-y-o 1m/8.3f winner Sweet Madness. The betting should help guide to expectations with this one. 20,000gns yearling; may need further than 5f to be seen to best effect. |
|||
6th (3)  (2/1 +75%)Pastoral Way |
2/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pastoral Way 2/1, 11/2, fifth of 11 in novice at Pontefract (5f, heavy) on debut 7 days ago, never involved after slow start. Over 6l behind Harswell Dandy at Pontefract but fluffed the start and ran green there. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from HARSWELL DANDY's surprise debut second at Pontefract last week and a reproduction of that performance might prove sufficient. The daughter of Dandy Man may be given most to do by Far Above Mary, who is expected to prove more competitive on her turf debut, while Marry The Night is entitled to build on his opening bid when fifth at Thirsk.
Those with experience don't set the bar that high so a chance is taken on Charlie Johnston newcomer ZABEEL ROAD, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Pontefract runner-up Harswell Dandy is the one most likely to profit should the selection fail to deliver.
Harswell Dandy was over 6l ahead of PASTORAL WAY at Pontefract a week ago but the O'Meara colt can improve past her here.

1st (3)  (2/1 +43%)Catherine Chroi |
2/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Catherine Chroi 2/1, 6f winner at Southwell and Newcastle in March. Things didn't go her way over 7f at Newcastle since and given another chance. Revitalised since rejoining this year this year (two AW wins); on fairly tough mark now. |
|||
2nd (6)  (13/2 +35%)Global Humor |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Global Humor 13/2, Unreliable 4-time course winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 14/1) 21 days ago. Placed three times at Newcastle since winning there in February; this course also suits. |
|||
3rd (2)  (15/2 -88%)Smalleytime |
15/2(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Smalleytime 15/2, 28/1, won 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (7f) 21 days ago, all out. Raised 3 lb but remains with handicapping scope on old form. Bounced back to form with 7f AW win this month; 6f on turf also suits; still on good mark. |
|||
4th (8)  (7/2 +0%)Doon The Glen |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Doon The Glen 7/2, Good second of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (6f) 3 days ago, running on. Has good chance on form. Persistently denied clear run before keeping on well for second on AW on Friday. |
|||
5th (5)  (12/1 +14%)Kitbag |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kitbag 12/1, Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) 6 days ago. Visor back on. Not easy to make a case for. Bettered disappointing stable debut when sixth on AW last week; could have a say here. |
|||
6th (7)  (10/1 -100%)Marie's Jewel |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Marie's Jewel 10/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (7f) 21 days ago. Runner-up over 6f there prior to that. Second twice on Tapeta in recent weeks and 1lb lower now; has a fighting chance. |
|||
7th (1)  (11/1 -83%)Thaki |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Thaki 11/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 7/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 67 days ago. C&D winner last summer; began year in fair form on AW; may need the ground to dry out. |
|||
8th (4)  (10/1 +0%)See My Baby Jive |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) See My Baby Jive 10/1, Three-time C&D winner last summer. Back on a winning mark if ready to roll after 6 months off. Quick C&D hat-trick last July; absent since below-par AW run in November. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Smalleytime appeared freshened up by a 51-day break when landing the spoils over 7f at Newcastle earlier this month. Although a 3lb higher rating shouldn't prevent another bold bid, this drop to 6f might leave the four-year-old vulnerable. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on THAKI, who is returning to the C&D of his last success. Doon The Glen also warrants a second look after an eyecatching second at Gosforth Park on Friday.
CATHERINE CHROI had excuses last time and is given another chance back on turf. Doon The Glen shaped well when runner-up at Newcastle on Friday and will be a threat if coping with the quick turnaround. Smalleytime should also have a say for in-form Ben Haslam.
Forced to wait for a gap to appear before keeping on well for second at Newcastle on Friday, DOON THE GLEN looks ready to win soon.

1st (5)  (4/1 +43%)Fiver Friday |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fiver Friday 4/1, Bit below form seventh of 21 in handicap (11/1) at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 8 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Significantly back up in trip and this Irish raider has to enter calculations. Clear second over C&D in the autumn, and returns here after two respectable 7f runs. |
|||
2nd (2)  (25/1 -127%)Jean Baptiste |
25/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jean Baptiste 25/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm), needing stronger gallop. Cheekpieces back on and can make his presence felt if raring to go following 7 months off. Without a win since summer 2022 and not seen since a disappointing effort in September. |
|||
3rd (13)  (28/1 -75%)Glasses Up |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Glasses Up 28/1, Six-time C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (12.4f). Off 171 days and he looks vulnerable. Seven course wins; out of form in the autumn and does not have a good record when fresh. |
|||
4th (11)  (11/2 +8%)Powerful Response |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Powerful Response 11/2, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 7/1) 9 days ago. Nudged up just 1 lb and he's in with an each-way shout. Built upon pleasing seasonal/stable debut when scoring at Nottingham last week. |
|||
5th (8)  (20/1 -43%)Soowaih |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Soowaih 20/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft, 11/1) 8 days ago. By no means a forlorn hope but some of these look more solid. Failed to build upon encouraging stable debut when well beaten last week. |
|||
6th (6)  (12/1 -20%)Hale End |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hale End 12/1, Latest win at Newcastle in January. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 7/1) 72 days ago, needing stiffer test. Up in trip and not without each-way hope. Clear AW winner in January but needs to prove he can cope with a mark this high. |
|||
7th (9)  (14/1 +30%)Molinari |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Molinari 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at York (10.2f, soft). Off 6 months and while he's capable of going well off this sort of mark, others make more appeal for win purposes. Regressive 7yo who drew a blank last season; returns from 198-day break. |
|||
8th (12)  (33/1 -200%)Leap Year Lad |
33/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Leap Year Lad 33/1, Fourth of 5 in juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft, 15/8) on NH debut 151 days ago. Below par latest outing in this sphere but wouldn't be without a chance if on-song. Won twice last season but absent since disappointing hurdling debut in November. |
|||
9th (1)  (11/1 +0%)Bashful |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bashful 11/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 11 runs last year. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 14/1) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has work to do. Won four times in 2023 but needs to better his recent AW form. |
|||
10th (10)  (13/2 +35%)Gainsbourg |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Gainsbourg 13/2, Course winner. 6/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 27 days ago. Up in trip and, 2-4 here and now 2 lb below last winning mark, he's a must for the shortlist. Dual course winner last summer; excused this month's heavy-ground defeat and on good mark. |
|||
11th (7)  (5/1 -43%)Bustaam |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bustaam 5/1, Winner at Doncaster in March. 5/4, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, heavy) 27 days ago, not looking keen. Will be a threat off the same mark if he puts it all in. Has made a good start to this season and still has low mileage; high on the list. |
|||
12th (4)  (5/1 +29%)Roll It In Glitter |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Roll It In Glitter 5/1, Two wins from 3 runs last year. 10/3, career best when winning 10-runner C&D handicap (good) last July, just holding on. Absent since and resumes on a 4 lb higher mark but couldn't rule out all the same. 2-3 during truncated campaign last season; a possible if fully tuned up for reappearance. |
|||
13th (14)  (33/1 -175%)Gobi Sunset |
33/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Gobi Sunset 33/1, Course winner. 9/1, good third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 48 days ago, having run of race. Significantly up in trip and needs to raise his game. Placed over 7f on AW last month; unraced beyond 1m in 46-start career. |
|||
14th (3)  (66/1 -313%)Man Of Monaco |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Man Of Monaco 66/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. 4/1, fourth of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 50 days ago. Tongue strap and cheekpieces on 1st time. Others preferred. Became disappointing for Charlie Johnston; only minor hurdling promise for new stable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Bustaam found a 10lb hike enough to prevent him from supplementing a Doncaster victory when runner-up at Pontefract earlier this month. He isn't taken lightly off the same mark, but FIVER FRIDAY makes slightly more appeal on her return to 1m2f. The four-year-old was far from disgraced when seventh in a 21-runner affair over 7f at the Curragh and a race of this nature looks within her compass. Powerful Response is just one more to consider.
Conditions were probably too testing for GAINSBOURG at Pontefract last time and, a winner twice from three visits here in 2023 and back on better ground, he could be the answer. Irish raider Fiver Friday wasn't disgraced in a big-field handicap at the Curragh recently and he is feared most back up in trip. Jean Baptiste should be in the mix if fully tuned-up for this seasonal reappearance and Bustaam will also be on the premises provided he gives his all.
Low-mileage 4yo BUSTAAM (nap) impressed when winning on his seasonal debut and was not discredited when second on his latest outing.

1st (5)  (7/1 -17%)Cue's Beau |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cue's Beau 7/1, 13/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 51 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Interesting back on turf. Didn't fire over 1m last month but began handicap career with two fairly good 7f AW runs. |
|||
2nd (7)  (9/1 +0%)Phoenix Fire |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Phoenix Fire 9/1, 13/2, tenth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Comes here with questions to answer but might be aided by first-time cheekpieces. |
|||
3rd (4)  (9/1 -157%)Al Muqdad |
9/1(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Al Muqdad 9/1, Winner at Newcastle in March. 11/2, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) 26 days ago, having hopeless task from position. One to consider. Not yet proven on turf but won on AW last month and could still have more to offer over 7f. |
|||
4th (3)  (3/1 -9%)Helter Skelter |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Helter Skelter 3/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (5/2) at Ripon (8f, soft) 2 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form but will need to better that Ripon effort if he's to take this. Disappointing favourite on Saturday but ran well in valuable handicap two starts ago. |
|||
5th (8)  (20/1 +0%)Iris Dancer |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Iris Dancer 20/1, Three wins from 16 runs last year. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, heavy, 33/1) 20 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and she needs to bounce back in a major way. Best known as a sprinter; ended 2023 with two poor runs and also disappointed this month. |
|||
6th (6)  (10/3 +33%)Classy Al |
10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Classy Al 10/3, Unreliable type. C&D winner. 18/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago, slowly away. Can give another good account but may again come up short for win purposes. Placed over 5f on recent seasonal debut and this C&D suits him well; a player. |
|||
7th (9)  (18/1 -13%)End Zone |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) End Zone 18/1, C&D winner. Below form seventh of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 20 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others have achieved more. Held on for narrow C&D win in September; may find younger rivals better handicapped. |
|||
8th (1)  (13/2 +7%)Kalganov |
13/2(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kalganov 13/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in December. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 16/1) 72 days ago. Each-way chance. Three wins in 2023 (one over C&D); in fair form on AW at start of year; back from break. |
|||
9th (2)  (8/1 +11%)William Dewhirst |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) William Dewhirst 8/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (6f) 57 days ago. Back up in trip and he has work to do. Two wins in 2023; made low-key reappearance but is not yet fully exposed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CLASSY AL often runs well over this course and distance and put in a promising display when third on his seasonal return at Musselburgh. A reproduction of that form would given him a big chance here. Kalganov has not been beaten far on the all-weather this year and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of William Dewhirst and End Zone.
CUE'S BEAU was below par tried over a mile again at Chelmsford last time but she is of strong interest back down in trip and returned to turf. Indeed, she was a wide-margin winner of a Nottingham maiden on her sole previous start away from the all-weather last spring and has slipped to an attractive mark. The testing conditions may have counted against Al Muqdad at Catterick on his latest appearance and he is second choice with better ground forecast here. Kalganov is also worth a second look.
The pick is AL MUQDAD, who looked very well suited by the step up to 7f on Tapeta last month and is still unexposed over this trip.

1st (3)  (15/2 -67%)Pinpoint |
15/2(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pinpoint 15/2, 5f nursery winner on turf last summer and held form well thereafter in handful of starts for Richard Hannon. Not at best for current yard on AW recently but his mark is easing all the time ahead of the switch back to turf. Consistent in nurseries for Richard Hannon but this year's AW form is very underwhelming. |
|||
2nd (6)  (5/1 +44%)Showboated |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Showboated 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Has work to do. Ran okay over 6f on handicap debut; raced too freely over 7f last time; drops to 5f here. |
|||
3rd (1)  (5/1 -67%)Zaphea |
5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zaphea 5/1, Kept busy as a juvenile, successful from a 7 lb lower mark in 9-runner Musselburgh nursery (5f) in September. Below form final 2 starts on AW/turf and not discounted now starting out for new yard after 6 months off. Nursery winner last September; changed hands for 4,000gns after two lesser efforts. |
|||
4th (4)  (11/8 +0%)Yiengaa |
11/8(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Yiengaa 11/8, Land Force filly who showed a little more than previously when good second of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 13/2) 9 days ago, running on. Looks one of the likelier types with a repeat in a race lacking depth. 0-7 but suggested her turn might be near when keeping-on second at Nottingham last week. |
|||
5th (5)  (6/1 +8%)Tip Top Tank |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tip Top Tank 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden who fared better than previously when keeping on for second on handicap debut at Newcastle (5f) in February. Disappointed back at that venue returned to 6f last month but too soon to be writing him off. Cheekpieces/tongue tie added. Went close on handicap debut in February (5f); needs to bounce back from a lesser effort. |
|||
6th (2)  (11/1 -38%)Toosha |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Toosha 11/1, 8/1, first run since leaving Gay Kelleway when fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 83 days ago. Rider takes off handy 5 lb here and not the biggest surprise to see a better showing returned to turf. Disappointing filly who was only fifth of seven on stable debut in February. |
|||
7th (7)  (40/1 +0%)Allegro Brillante |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Allegro Brillante 40/1, Offered little in trio of maiden/novice events as a juvenile and fared no better on return/handicap debut at Newcastle (1m) 3 weeks ago. Hard to fancy significantly down in trip. Struggled when 150-1 for recent handicap debut; drops from 1m today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
YIENGAA put in a career best when a close second over this trip at Nottingham nine days ago and the daughter of Land Force is clearly the one to beat on that evidence. Tip Top Tank failed to fire last time, but is a player based on his previous second at Newcastle and may improve for the application of a first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces. Zaphea edges out Pinpoint to be best of the rest.
YIENGAA showed more than previously when runner-up at Nottingham 9 days ago and a repeat should see her firmly in the mix again. Tip Top Tank disappointed last time but could well bounce back now equipped with first-time cheekpieces/tongue tie. Pinpoint is also considered in a race lacking depth.
The most obvious answer is YIENGAA, who stuck to her task well when second at Nottingham nine days ago.

1st (2)  (1/4 +50%)Old Cock |
1/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Old Cock 1/4, Calyx gelding who had undergone wind surgery and shaped with plenty of promise when fourth of 13 in maiden (4/1) at Newcastle (8f) on debut 21 days ago, making steady headway from 2f out. Very much one to note with that run behind him. Denied clear run before keeping on for fourth in much stronger race than this on debut. |
|||
2nd (3)  (28/1 +15%)Racing Vicar |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Racing Vicar 28/1, Make Believe gelding. 100/1, showed only greenness when tenth of 13 in maiden at Newcastle (8f) on debut 21 days ago, very slowly away and always behind. Can only be watched on the back of that. Fluffed the start and never got competitive when 100-1 for Newcastle debut this month. |
|||
3rd (4)  (12/1 +64%)Strike Rate |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Strike Rate 12/1, Cheap purchase who looked green and ultimately offered little when eighth of 9 in a Newcastle novice (5f) on debut back in October. Passed over on return to action. In rear throughout when 80-1 for 5f Newcastle novice in October. |
|||
4th (5)  (22/1 -175%)Crown's Lady |
22/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Crown's Lady 22/1, €80,000 foal, 20,000 gns yearling, Showcasing filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Showout and closely related to French 7.5f/1m winner Living Desert. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner). Betting should provide some clues on debut. Out of a Listed winner and doesn't need to be anything special to get involved on debut. |
|||
5th (1)  (11/2 -120%)Miaswell |
11/2(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Miaswell 11/2, Made an encouraging start when second of 7 in a Thirsk novice (1m) on debut in September. Disappointed turned out quickly when fifth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (1m) later that month but gelded/had wind op ahead of return and no surprise to see a better showing. Chased home short-odds favourite on debut in September; not so good on second start. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It is hard to look past OLD COCK, who fared best of those held up off the pace when fourth at Newcastle on debut and, with that experience under his belt, he should take all the beating. Miaswell was sent off a warm order but could only manage fifth in a Newcastle maiden last September. Clearly better was expected and having his first run since wind surgery and a gelding operation, he is feared most. Crown's Lady is respected on her introduction, particularly if the market speaks favourably.
OLD COCK shaped with plenty of promise without being seen to best effect when fourth on debut in a Newcastle maiden (1m) 3 weeks ago and very much the type to do better on that evidence, he looks to have been found a good opening. The returning Miaswell can emerge as the chief danger, ahead of newcomer Crown's Lady.
This modest maiden appears to provide OLD COCK with an excellent opportunity to deliver on his debut promise.

1st (2)  (4/1 +20%)Ebony Maw |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ebony Maw 4/1, Successful over C&D in October (from Tafsir) and went in again at Catterick (15.9f) later that month. Better for reappearance run when second of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (12f) 3 weeks ago and entitled to be thereabouts. Bumped into a big improver when second this month; seems best on heavy ground, though. |
|||
2nd (1)  (2/1 +33%)Tafsir |
2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tafsir 2/1, Three wins from 17 runs last year (at up to 14f) and shaped as if she'd be better for the run following 5 months off when respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 21 days ago. Merits consideration with that under her belt. Did well last year (three wins) and made encouraging reappearance this month. |
|||
3rd (7)  (11/2 -22%)Billy Bathgate |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Billy Bathgate 11/2, Boasts just the one win from 26 starts on Flat but that came over C&D and he lines up in good form, second of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (14.1f) 17 days ago, despite not being ideally placed. Not out of things from what rates a workable mark. Has modest strike-rate but his win was over C&D and he was placed on Tapeta this month. |
|||
4th (6)  (11/1 -38%)Bouncing Bobby |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bouncing Bobby 11/1, C&D winner who added to his tally at Hamilton (12f) last June. Efforts proved mixed over timber since, sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f, heavy, 7/1) 70 days ago. Needs to hit the ground running returned to this sphere. Won this in 2022 but has become very unreliable; well beaten over hurdles last time. |
|||
5th (3)  (9/2 -64%)Philos |
9/2(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Philos 9/2, Three wins from 14 runs last year, the latest at Kempton (12f) in November. Showed benefit of his reappearance run when second behind one who has fallen appreciably in the weights at Newcastle (12.4f) 13 days ago and he's an interesting runner here. Ran right up to best form when second over the extended 1m4f at Newcastle a fortnight ago. |
|||
6th (8)  (40/1 -60%)Anjician |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Anjician 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 200/1, eighth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f) 34 days ago, left behind 2f out. Steps back up significantly in trip for his handicap debut but would need to see market confidence behind him to make him of interest. Yet to show any worthwhile form since debut in 2020; makes handicap debut today. |
|||
7th (5)  (11/2 +45%)Laudable |
11/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Laudable 11/2, Havana Gold gelding who surpassed previous efforts when fourth of 13 in handicap at Navan (14f) in August. Disappointed final start at Killarney a month later and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of him having changed hands for 15,000 gns in the autumn. 0-7 in Ireland but well worth a glance in the betting before seasonal/stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
EBONY MAW bumped into an in-form rival when runner-up over 1m4f at Thirsk and, stepping back up in trip off just 1lb higher than his last winning mark, he edges preference. Philos bounced back to form when a creditable second over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle and, nudged up 1lb, he can make his presence felt. Laudable completes the shortlist on his first start for a new stable, and the betting may prove informative.
PHILOS was clearly sharper for the refitting of a visor when runner-up at Newcastle 2 weeks ago and still lightly raced on turf, he looks one of the likelier types stepping back up in trip. Billy Bathgate is a danger, along with Tafsir and Ebony Maw.
This might go to PHILOS, who posted a good effort in defeat behind a well-handicapped rival on Tapeta a fortnight 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.
