1st (3)  (6/1 +40%)Beronia |
6/1(+40%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Beronia 6/1, Similar form when placed in novices first 3 starts but disappointed at Newmarket last time. Tongue strap on 1st time. Opening mark looks high enough. Form dipped when upped to 7f last month; now tongue tied; improvement required. |
|||
2nd (9)  (7/2 -17%)Lovely Spirit |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lovely Spirit 7/2, Put experience to good use when off the mark at the fourth attempt in maiden at Musselburgh last month, suited by the step up to 7f. Opening mark demands a bit more but that's entirely possible. Made all to win comfortably on first 7f run last month (form franked); can do better. |
|||
3rd (4)  (5/1 +44%)Sunshine State |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sunshine State 5/1, Overcame unfavourable circumstances to make a winning debut at Chelmsford in June and not disgraced upped to listed company at Newmarket soon after. Took a step forward switched to nurseries when fourth of 16 at Glorious Goodwood but not in same form next time. This less competitive. 6f AW winner; ran well at Glorious Goodwood but less so at Newmarket latest; down in class. |
|||
4th (8)  (2/1 +43%)Cymbidium |
2/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cymbidium 2/1, Big improvement when making a winning nursery debut at Thirsk 2 weeks ago, worth a bit extra too considering she lost some momentum just as the race was taking shape. Can defy 5 lb rise. Strong finish to win a well-run 1m nursery at Thirsk a fortnight ago; drop to 7f a query. |
|||
5th (6)  (25/1 -213%)Who Wants Me |
25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Who Wants Me 25/1, Steadily progressive form, third of 5 in novice at this C&D (good) 39 days ago, but opening mark looks harsh enough. Latest 3rd over C&D offered hope of better; likely improver now handicapping. |
|||
6th (1)  (7/2 +30%)Scatter Penny |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Scatter Penny 7/2, Elarqam filly who has won a Nottingham maiden and Pontefract novice (both 6f) in recent months. Came up short in much more competitive nursery at York last time but too soon to write her off. Up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Lost her unbeaten record at York last month; now tongue tied; should stay; contender. |
|||
7th (5)  (12/1 +25%)Larchill Lass |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Larchill Lass 12/1, Winner of 5f maiden at Carlisle in May but just respectable efforts at best since. Vulnerable up in trip. 5f win in May on soft ground; not progressed since; new trip needs to spark extra. |
|||
8th (10)  (33/1 -230%)Cushty |
33/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Cushty 33/1, Easily best effort when third in maiden at Newcastle 17 days ago, seeming to relish the step up in trip. Opening mark looks a fair one on that form so not taken lightly. Improved for the step up to 7f when a strong-finishing 3rd at Newcastle latest; unexposed. |
|||
9th (7)  (22/1 -267%)Suzette |
22/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Suzette 22/1, Zoustar filly who was much improved to defy what looked a stiff opening mark at Carlise 3 weeks ago. Must be respected up 4 lb. Cosy win on h'cap debut at Carlisle (7f, soft); that form not worked out but she won well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SCATTER PENNY was dropped a generous 4lb after her nursery debut at York having won both starts prior at Nottingham and Pontefract. The daughter of Elarqam was inconvenienced by a slow start and is worth another chance, especially with the step up in trip and the addition of a tongue-tie likely to help. Cymbidium won on her nursery debut at Thirsk earlier in the month and has to be respected off a 5lb higher mark. Suzette is another to note.
CYMBIDIUM showed much improved form to land a punt on nursery bow at Thirsk 2 weeks ago and remains one to keep on the right side of. Suzette is another who took a big step forward when making a winning handicap debut at Carlisle so rates the main threat ahead of Lovely Spirit.
A competitive nursery but LOVELY SPIRIT's Musselburgh win was well franked at the weekend and she can follow up.

1st (4)  (7/1 +36%)Candy |
7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Candy 7/1, Followed a good second at Newbury with his first success when seeing off a couple of rivals there 15 days ago. Only up 2 lb for that and should put up another bold showing. Only three ran when winning at Newbury; earlier 2nd there was also a good run; improving. |
|||
2nd (8)  (14/1 -65%)Stirrup Cup |
14/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Stirrup Cup 14/1, Took a step forward when winning 8-runner nursery at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 11/2) 9 days ago, slowly away. This looks a stronger event and he's turned out quickly, but very much respected. Cosy win at Carlisle last week (6f, soft); not well in under penalty & drying ground a ?. |
|||
3rd (7)  (14/1 -27%)Mr Cool |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mr Cool 14/1, Made the frame again when fourth of 17 in novice at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Lacks the potential of some of his rivals but not without hope. Engaged 1.42 here Thursday. Close 2nd in AW nursery last month; 7f stretched him here on Thursday; others are stronger. |
|||
4th (3)  (11/2 -10%)Our Mighty Mo |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Our Mighty Mo 11/2, Left previous efforts well behind when landing a 7-runner event at Hamilton on nursery debut, seeming to be well suited by the emphasis on stamina. This might be more of a speed test but he's still well respected. Improved for heavy ground when winning at Hamilton 16 days ago; more needed up 4lb. |
|||
5th (2)  (5/2 0%)Bonnie's Boy |
5/2(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bonnie's Boy 5/2, Improving by the run and shaped well again when runner-up at Newcastle last time. Opening mark probably underestimates him and he should take the beating. Runner-up in his three starts, showing plenty of ability; remains capable of better. |
|||
6th (6)  (22/1 -22%)Up The Clarets |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Up The Clarets 22/1, Successful at Hamilton in May but no progress after, finishing fourth there earlier in the month. Others look better treated. Not progressed from a winning debut; not sure he's that well treated back at 6f. |
|||
7th (9)  (11/1 +21%)East Tyrone |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) East Tyrone 11/1, Improved to win a 6f York nursery (good to soft) in July. Not in the same since, though, blinkers not having the desired effect at Hamilton last time. Others preferred. Not gone on from his York nursery win in July; others look safer. |
|||
8th (5)  (9/2 +18%)Lovat Scout |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lovat Scout 9/2, Followed a likeable winning debut at Thirsk with a tame display at Ripon last month, possibly not handling the track. Not one to write off switched to nurseries. Winning debut at Thirsk but didn't handle Ripon last time; unexposed and not ruled out. |
|||
9th (1)  (9/1 -38%)Where's Clare |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Where's Clare 9/1, Improved for step up to this trip when decisively landing nursery at Nottingham in August and, while she wasn't in the same form at Goodwood 17 days ago, it's too soon to rule out further progress. Two front-running wins (5f, AW/6f, good) this year; held off this mark at Goodwood latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Bonnie's Boy has finished second on all three outings to date and is likely to play a leading role making his first start in a nursery. However, a chance is taken on LOVAT SCOUT bouncing back from his latest effort. A winner on debut at Thirsk, Karl Burke's colt had excuses when not appearing to handle the track at Ripon last month and he remains a colt full of potential. Hamilton winner Our Mighty Mo and Candy rate best of the rest.
BONNIE'S BOY is on the up and his form is solid, so he's fancied to defy a mark of 80 at the first attempt. Last-time-out winners Our Mighty Mo and Candy are the main threats.
Lovat Scout may do better back on a more conventional track but BONNIE'S BOY can cure his seconditis now switched to nurseries.

1st (14)  (12/1 -85%)Star Of Mehmas |
12/1(-85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Star Of Mehmas 12/1, Much improved from debut when making all in 10-runner novice at Lingfield (5f, AW) in August and confirmed herself a useful prospect when following up with plenty in hand at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 13 days ago. Could be up to making her mark on that evidence. Promising filly who has won twice on the AW and deserves a crack at this level. |
|||
2nd (7)  (8/1 -45%)Uncle Don |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Uncle Don 8/1, Son of Oasis Dream who was much improved from debut and never stronger than at the line when landing 13-runner maiden at Beverley (5f, good, 7/2) 76 days ago, suited by the stiff finish. Likely there's more to come now connections pitch him up in class. Took notable scalp of Big Mojo (Group 3 winner/Group 2 placed) at Beverley in early July. |
|||
3rd (8)  (9/4 -29%)Coto De Caza |
9/4(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Coto De Caza 9/4, Sioux Nation filly has improved a chunk with each of her three runs, latterly an 11-runner conditions' stakes at Goodwood. Well in the mix now upped further in grade with prospect of more to come. Clocked a good time at Goodwood; unexposed and she's in the Cheveley Park. |
|||
4th (5)  (28/1 +15%)King Of Light |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) King Of Light 28/1, Improved a little on back of being gelded when winning 5-runner Musselburgh novice (5f) in August. Similar form when midfield in 16-runner York novice (5f) 4 weeks ago but that effort suggests he needs to do more to play a lead role here. Only won the once and limitations were exposed in a Listed race at York. |
|||
5th (10)  (11/2 +21%)Kaadi |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kaadi 11/2, Raced only at 5f, winning a Windsor maiden in April. Proved most reliable in defeat subsequently, taking another small step forward when good 1½ lengths second of 6 to Aesterius in Prix d'Arenberg at Longchamp (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, running on. Enters calculations. Consistently performed to a smart level, especially last time in a French Group 3. |
|||
6th (12)  (22/1 -10%)Pearl Of Windsor |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Pearl Of Windsor 22/1, Bred to be useful and having made it third time lucky at Sandown (5f) in August, she improved further and displayed a likeable attitude when winning 6-runner novice at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago. However, another with work to do now upped in grade. Dual winner but she'd be receiving weight off a good few of these were this a handicap. |
|||
7th (3)  (28/1 -40%)Gold Star Hero |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gold Star Hero 28/1, Easy to back but confirmed debut promise to open his account in 11-runner novice at Chelmsford City (6f) 36 days ago, running on. Up markedly in grade at this early stage but he does rate the type to do better again. Made all for narrow success at Chelmsford but lots more required at this level. |
|||
8th (4)  (12/1 +14%)King's Call |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King's Call 12/1, Debut winner of 6f novice here in July and not disgraced in face of stiff tasks all 3 starts since, 4¾ lengths eighth of 10 to Aesterius in Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster (5f, good, 22/1) 7 days ago. Drop in to listed company in his favour here. Has his sights lowered this time but he doesn't look progressive. |
|||
9th (9)  (22/1 -100%)Educating Rita |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Educating Rita 22/1, Belardo filly who is building up a solid profile, successful at Catterick/Hamilton earlier this year and produced another solid effort when second of 8 in nursery (4/1) at Beverley (5f, good) 26 days ago, short of room before running on. This tougher but suspicion we've yet to see the best of her. Came up shy off a mark of 80 in her latest handicap and this is a big ask on that evidence. |
|||
10th (13)  (22/1 +45%)Sahara Dancer |
22/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Sahara Dancer 22/1, Bred to be sharp and pleasing start when a ready winner of a Chepstow maiden (6f) in August. Couldn't build on that when fourth of 9 in novice at Chelmsford (6f) 3 weeks ago and this demands a lot more now starting out for new stable. Two runs over 6f; looks quick enough for 5f but probably needs a lower level than this. |
|||
11th (11)  (66/1 +0%)Lady Luzon |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Lady Luzon 66/1, Consistent sort who doubled her tally at Chepstow (5f) and similar form when second of 7 in nursery (15/2) at Goodwood (6f, good) 17 days ago. However, she appears to have plenty on her plate now tackling this sort of company. Luckless second in a Goodwood nursery latest but this is a sharp rise in class. |
|||
12th (6)  (22/1 -83%)Lexington Blitz |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lexington Blitz 22/1, Much improved from debut when winning 10-runner Windsor novice (5.1f) in August and improved a little more to defy a penalty in 4-runner novice at Chepstow (5f) 18 days ago, making all and easing clear. Could do better still. Beat three rivals at Chepstow; going the right way but he's in a lot deeper this time. |
|||
13th (1)  (11/1 +31%)Against The Wind |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Against The Wind 11/1, Took well to AW and left previous form well behind when winning 9-runner 5f novice at Newcastle in June. Solid fifth of 20 in valuable sales' race at York (6f) 4 weeks ago, showing plenty of speed but more needed at this level returned to the minimum trip. Good fifth of 20 in a sales race at York but others in here have achieved more. |
|||
14th (2)  (18/1 -80%)End Of Story |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) End Of Story 18/1, Winner on debut in a Thirsk maiden (5f, soft) in June. Didn't progress immediately but back on track having been gelded when second of 8 in nursery (25/1) at York (6f, soft) 12 days ago. That looks solid form but another who needs to pull out more back up in class. Better for being gelded when second on nursery debut at York; sharper test here favourable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
COTO DE CAZA was an impressive winner when getting off the mark at the second time of asking at Beverley before stepping up on that effort when taking a conditions stakes race at Goodwood. The manner of that performance suggests she's well worth a crack at this prize. Kaadi's recent second at Longchamp was boosted by the winner following up in the Flying Childers at Doncaster last week and her consistency gives her an obvious chance. The class-dropping King's Call is noted too.
COTO DE CAZA is proving most progressive, making it 2 wins from 3 starts in impressive fashion at Goodwood back in July. Open to further improvement, she gets the nod to come out on top having her first crack at listed level. Kaadi is compiling a very solid record and is feared, along with another progressive pair in the shape of Uncle Don and Star of Mehmas.
Cheveley Park entrant COTO DE CAZA could be a cut above the majority of these after clocking an impressive time at Goodwood.

1st (6)  (14/1 +0%)Star Of Lady M |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Star Of Lady M 14/1, Bagged a fifth victory of 2024 in facile fashion at York (5f) in August and she may of found race coming too soon when eighth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 22 days ago. However, she's had her limitations exposed at this level previously. Five wins at 5f-6f in 2024; career-best form when clear 5f winner on latest turf start. |
|||
2nd (5)  (13/2 -30%)Rage Of Bamby |
13/2(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rage Of Bamby 13/2, Posted a career-best when resuming winning ways at York (6f) in July but failed to reproduce that level when 4 lengths fourth of 8 to Marine Wave in listed race (5/1) at Pontefract (6f, good) 33 days ago, albeit not ideally placed. Best form give her claims nevertheless. Impressive 6f handicap win at York; behind Marine Wave since; worth a go with lesser test. |
|||
3rd (7)  (6/1 +0%)Frost At Dawn |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Frost At Dawn 6/1, Huge career best when winning 15-runner Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint at Meydan in March. In nothing like the same form upped to 6f later that month. Tough task when down the field in the Nunthorpe on return. Nevertheless, she's an interesting runner back in calmer waters. Good form at 6f and 5f at Meydan early in 2024; creditable show in Group 1 at York since. |
|||
4th (2)  (17/2 -31%)Marine Wave |
17/2(-31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Marine Wave 17/2, Has improved again this season and well on top when recording first win at this level at Pontefract 3 weeks ago. However, not in same form back on softer ground when 8 lengths seventh of 8 to Quinault in listed Garrowby Stakes at York 12 days ago. Storming win in 6f Listed race before dropping right out latest; needs quick about-face. |
|||
5th (8)  (12/1 -9%)Got To Love A Grey |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Got To Love A Grey 12/1, Dark Angel filly who ran a fine race when second of 16 in handicap at Goodwood (5f) on her penultimate start but underwhelming when 9 lengths eleventh of 14 to Star of Lady M in handicap at York (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Still, claims on these terms if bouncing back. Two Listed wins, over 5f as 2yo and an extended 5f on comeback; ran flat latest. |
|||
6th (3)  (17/2 +6%)Katey Kontent |
17/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Katey Kontent 17/2, Made a winning return to action at Windsor in May and has run with credit all 3 starts since, doing best of those who raced centre when just touched off in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) in July. Has struggled at this level previously, however. Both 2yo wins at 5f; holding her form in 6f handicaps; has work to do on these terms. |
|||
7th (11)  (66/1 -100%)Unbreak My Heart |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Unbreak My Heart 66/1, Useful at 2yrs and back to that level when fourth in a Sandown listed race (5f) in June. Below best both outings since, fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm, 16/1) 50 days ago. Has run well in Group/Listed races since 2yo win; well below best on handicap debut latest. |
|||
8th (1)  (12/1 -33%)Azure Blue |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Azure Blue 12/1, Very hard to knock her strike rate and she showed a willing attitude for latest success here (dead-heat) on first try over 5f in listed company in June. Unable to land a blow in Nunthorpe next time and ran to bad to be true back at that venue (6f, listed) 12 days ago. Type to bounce back. Group 2 winner in May 2023; dead-heated for 5f Listed race here in June; tailed off latest. |
|||
9th (9)  (11/2 +31%)Gutsy Girl |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Gutsy Girl 11/2, Improving daughter of Blue Point who quickened up well to score at Kempton (6f) in July and shaped very well in defeat on wrong part of track when 4¼ lengths second of 14 to Star of Lady M in handicap at York (5f) 30 days ago, nearest finish. Open to further progress. Lightly raced; impressive over 6f on AW before 2nd over 5f at York; trip can suit; improve. |
|||
10th (13)  (4/1 +0%)Woodhay Wonder |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Woodhay Wonder 4/1, Won 3 of her last 4 starts as a juvenile and picked up where she left off bagging pair of Newmarket handicaps on her first 2 starts this year. Solid in-the-frame efforts have followed, close-up third of 13 in handicap at Ascot (5f) 55 days ago. Well worth her place at this level. Four straight 6f wins between August 2023 and May; two good 5f runs at Ascot; not far away. |
|||
11th (12)  (9/1 +44%)Vicario |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Vicario 9/1, Lope De Vega filly who was knocking on the door prior to opening her account with a bit to spare in 4-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, firm) 42 days ago. This demands more but unlikely she's reached her limit on that evidence. Impressed when winning on first 6f attempt; difficult weights task but could outperform. |
|||
12th (10)  (50/1 +24%)Queen's Guard |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Queen's Guard 50/1, Fairly useful filly who registered a second career victory at Lingfield (6f) in June but unable to make an impact in pair of listed contests on turf more recently. Likely set for another struggle. Has won on turf but best on AW; well held in a handicap and 2 Listed races on last 3 runs.. |
|||
13th (4)  (66/1 -136%)Pepsi Cat |
66/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pepsi Cat 66/1, Consistent mare who posted a career-best effort when winning 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f) in May. Latest fifth of 14 behind Star Of Lady M at York (5f) was a respectable display but another who needs to pull out more if she's to make an impact in this company. Prolific winner, mostly at 5f; ground to make up on Azure Blue on 5f form here in June. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Marine Wave defeated Rage Of Bamby (fourth) in a Listed contest at Pontefract last month and with the former now shouldering a penalty for that success, the pair could finish a lot closer. Azure Blue had excuses at York earlier this month and is perfectly capable on her day, although it is FROST AT DAWN who shades preference. William Knight's unexposed three-year-old struggled in the Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan earlier in the year, but was far from disgraced in the Nunthorpe last time and has less on her plate here.
FROST AT DAWN faced no easy task back from 5 months off in the Nunthorpe at York 4 weeks ago but the pick of her form in Meydan earlier this year entitles her to plenty of respect so, with that run under her belt, she's given the nod to bounce back in a race confined to her own sex. Woodhay Wonder and Rage of Bamby head the dangers. Gutsy Girl also likely has a bigger effort in her locker.
Unexposed on turf, FROST AT DAWN ran well in the circumstances in a Group 1 last time and comes into it on her Meydan sprint form.

1st (1)  (16/1 +0%)Diligent Resdev |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Diligent Resdev 16/1, Low-mileage sort who caused a shock when edging ahead close home on handicap debut at York (7f) in May. Dropped to 6f and finished a creditable fifth of 14 at Newcastle in a first-time visor (retained) 4 weeks ago. Less exposed than most of these. 3yo who won at York in May on handicap debut but hasn't kicked on from there. |
|||
2nd (25)  (11/1 +61%)Parisiac |
11/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (25) Parisiac 11/1, Made second start for in-form yard a winning one over 5f here in August. Just a respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f again) since. Engaged 2.42 here on Thursday. Made all here last month on second stable start but not at the same level the next twice. |
|||
3rd (14)  (17/2 +53%)Danzan |
17/2(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Danzan 17/2, Won this race in 2022. Has a 1-25 record since and has finished down the field on his last 2 starts but he's still a dangerous one to rule out. Return to form needed but he's on a competitive mark and has a good record in this race. |
|||
4th (19)  (14/1 +44%)Dicko The Legend |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Dicko The Legend 14/1, Latest win at York (6f) in July but not at best twice since. Others are preferred. Won big-field handicap at York in July and has had excuses the next twice. |
|||
5th (12)  (11/1 +45%)The Ridler |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) The Ridler 11/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Leicester (6f, soft) 10 days ago. Yet to add to 2yo Royal Ascot win in 2022 but there have been some promising signs of late. |
|||
5th (8)  (14/1 -27%)Cold Stare |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cold Stare 14/1, C&D winner who was second in this last year before winning a 7f course handicap 48 hours later. Freshened up since finishing a respectable fifth at Thirsk in mid-July. Might be primed for another big run at this meeting. Went close in this in 2023; slow ground is preferable (all British wins on such a surface). |
|||
7th (5)  (7/1 +0%)Trilby |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Trilby 7/1, Three 6f wins from 10 runs this year, the latest at Haydock in August. Creditable third on his last 2 starts. Likely to be very competitive again. In-form hold-up horse who seems well suited to a big-field scenario; contender. |
|||
8th (3)  (28/1 -75%)Roundhay Park |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Roundhay Park 28/1, Veteran who bagged this prize in 2020 and has posted some decent efforts in defeat this season. Latest York ninth of 18 wasn't one of them but he's capable of bouncing back. 9yo who is 0-9 this season with mixed form; won this in 2020 on sole previous Ayr visit. |
|||
9th (17)  (14/1 -17%)Jonny Concrete |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Jonny Concrete 14/1, Won a 7f course handicap last month and bumped into an improver when 5 lengths second at Carlisle (7f again) 3 weeks ago. Needs to prove he's as effective back down at 6f. Improved form over 7f in these cheekpieces the last twice and he's not short of pace. |
|||
10th (16)  (33/1 -18%)Ziggy's Queen |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Ziggy's Queen 33/1, Respectable efforts in a visor lately but now 1-15 overall and Monsieur Kodi and Havana Rum look more obvious contenders for the stable. Needs to settle to see this out but the big field could help; caught the eye two runs ago. |
|||
11th (9)  (25/1 +11%)Jump The Gun |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Jump The Gun 25/1, Course winner. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to soft, 20/1) 5 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Ayr winner; well treated but recent evidence doesn't suggest he's about to take advantage. |
|||
12th (2)  (11/1 +45%)Monsieur Kodi |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Monsieur Kodi 11/1, C&D winner who has drawn a blank since a Glorious Goodwood success last summer but is on a good mark and had been shaping up quite well until perhaps finding quick ground against him when well held in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last month. Gets the vote with McSweeney taking an extra 3 lb off. Has dropped down the weights; his last three wins have come on soft/good to soft going. |
|||
13th (13)  (40/1 -82%)Moyola |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Moyola 40/1, Latest win at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in June. Creditable third at Ripon next time but off since a lesser run back at Hamilton last month. Below par at Hamilton in July but this 3yo was progressive previously & is one to consider. |
|||
14th (18)  (20/1 -100%)Spirit Of Applause |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Spirit Of Applause 20/1, Well backed and took advantage of a reduced mark at Beverley (5f) 3 weeks ago. Incurs a 5 lb penalty for that but still looks well treated on old form. Exploited career-low mark at Beverley last time; that may have given confidence a boost. |
|||
15th (24)  (7/2 +42%)Eternal Sunshine |
7/2(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (24) Eternal Sunshine 7/2, Has 4 wins (including 2 over C&D) and 2 close seconds to show for her last 6 starts, losing out only to a well-treated grade dropper at Musselburgh (5f) on Sunday. Big player if taking her chance (due to run 3.12 here on Thursday). Five wins this year, the latest here yesterday; could be bang there once more. |
|||
16th (6)  (18/1 -64%)Rock Melody |
18/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rock Melody 18/1, Took advantage of career-low mark to resume winning ways in cosy fashion at Hamilton last month. Never involved in a Class 2 at the York Ebor meeting next time but quickly returned to form when fourth of 9 back at Hamilton (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Some appealing form last month and she's won off higher marks previously; on the shortlist. |
|||
17th (22)  (40/1 +20%)Heroism |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (22) Heroism 40/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Leicester (6f, soft) 10 days ago. Hard to make a good case for. Well handicapped on last season's form but others arrive with less to prove. |
|||
18th (4)  (14/1 0%)Vince L'amour |
14/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Vince L'amour 14/1, Bagged a pair of 5f/6f handicaps in the mud in April. Bit hit and miss since but latest 5f York third was creditable. The yard has a good record in this race. 3yo; inconsistent but was a close third at York recently; each-way shout if on a going day. |
|||
19th (11)  (25/1 -39%)Catherine Chroi |
25/1(-39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Catherine Chroi 25/1, Won 5 times between March and May, including C&D. Back to form when narrowly denied at Hamilton (6f, soft) 16 days ago and runs off the same mark here. Enters the reckoning. Won six times in the spring and went close at Hamilton recently; could be in the mix. |
|||
20th (20)  (25/1 +11%)Classy Al |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (20) Classy Al 25/1, Tricky customer but is a 4-time course winner, the latest over 5f in May. Not seen to best effect at Musselburgh on Sunday. Visored first time. All four wins have come at Ayr (from 22 visits); might not be far away now back here. |
|||
21st (10)  (66/1 -164%)Knicks |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Knicks 66/1, In good form in the spring, including a win at the Chester May meeting. Has struggled badly in 3 outings since so his hopes are pinned on a first-time tongue tie sparking a revival. Hopes are pinned on the first-time tongue-tie prompting a dramatic revival. |
|||
22nd (7)  (11/1 +31%)Havana Rum |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Havana Rum 11/1, Latest win at Pontefract (6f) in July. Creditable in-frame efforts in 6f Racing League handicaps at Chepstow and Southwell last month. One of a couple of interesting runners for the stable. Two wins this year; has continued in good form since latest victory at Pontefract in July. |
|||
23rd (15)  (40/1 -21%)Cavalier Approach |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Cavalier Approach 40/1, Latest win at Pontefract in July. Visored first time. below-form seventh of 9 in handicap at Leicester (5f, soft) 10 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others are more persuasive. Won in good style at Pontefract in July but hasn't kicked on from that. |
|||
24th (23)  (40/1 +20%)Rory |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (23) Rory 40/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. Latest win at Musselburgh (5f) in July. Always behind after one of his regular slow starts back at Musselburgh last weekend. Hold-up 6yo; needs things to drop right but this could be the type of race he'll shine in. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Three previous winners of this contest in Danzan, Call Me Ginger and Roundhay Park head to post and each are too well treated to ignore, but a tentative vote goes to SPIRIT OF APPLAUSE. The market has spoken in favour of Tim Easterby's charge since being fitted with cheekpieces at the beginning of August, and he repaid his supporters at Beverley last time out. It remains to be seen whether stall 20 will be an aid or a hindrance, but he appears to be coming in to form and, though a 5lb penalty makes things tougher, he ought to have plenty in hand judged on past exploits. Others to note include last year's runner-up Cold Stare, The Ridler and Rory.
MONSIEUR KODI had a possible excuse in the Great St Wilfrid and this former C&D winner is worth chancing to stage a revival having dipped to 6 lb lower than when landing the Stewards' Cup consolation at last year's Glorious Goodwood. Last year's runner-up Cold Stare looks to have been laid out for this meeting again and heads the many dangers along with Trilby, Spirit of Applause and the selection's stablemate Havana Rum.
Having shown promising signs in recent months, THE RIDLER (nap) earns the vote ahead of the 3yo Moyola.

1st (1)  (7/1 +30%)Yaaser |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Yaaser 7/1, C&D winner. 8/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Back to a potentially lenient mark but needs to cut the slow starts out. Engaged 4.48 here Thursday. Below best and slow starts continue to hold him back; down the field here yesterday. |
|||
2nd (9)  (10/3 +39%)Braes Of Doune |
10/3(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Braes Of Doune 10/3, Won over 7f here and 1m at Musselburgh in August. Shaped better than the bare result when third of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) 9 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Engaged 5.23 here on Thursday. Not had much luck since two wins in August but was a good third here yesterday. |
|||
3rd (6)  (9/1 +0%)Mount King |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mount King 9/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good to firm, 4/1) 24 days ago. On a favourable mark and he came good at a similar time last year. No shock to see him go well Dual winner; wilted late on after a positive ride last time at Ripon; good mark. |
|||
4th (13)  (10/1 +29%)Golden Valour |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Golden Valour 10/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. 10/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) 6 days ago. Engaged 4.48 here on Thursday. Good run last week but he made no impact here yesterday. |
|||
5th (12)  (14/1 +13%)End Zone |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) End Zone 14/1, Not obviously at the top of his game but he did win at this meeting off a higher mark last year. Engaged 5.23 here on Thursday. Runs this track well but below par of late and he dropped out here yesterday. |
|||
6th (2)  (13/2 -30%)Jewel Maker |
13/2(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jewel Maker 13/2, Latest win at Pontefract (1m) in July. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Redcar (1¼m, good to firm) 27 days ago. Thriving and can make presence felt again. Consistent of late and hasn't had the run of things in his last two races; respected. |
|||
7th (7)  (9/1 -38%)John L Sullivan |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) John L Sullivan 9/1, Winner at Wetherby in June. Good fourth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (7f, good) 41 days ago. Respected. Nice run back from a break and that as over 7f, whereas sole win came at 1m. |
|||
8th (11)  (16/1 -113%)Game Management |
16/1(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Game Management 16/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m) 8 days ago, showing a good attitude to lead again in the final strides. Carries a 6 lb penalty. Had nothing in hand on the AW last week and back into a Class 5 under a penalty. |
|||
9th (3)  (11/1 -47%)Swift Salian |
11/1(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Swift Salian 11/1, Hooded first time, good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/1) 15 days ago. Fairly handicapped if he can build on that. Won a 1m nursery 12 months ago off this mark and it was a good run on the AW last time. |
|||
10th (10)  (25/1 -108%)Sutue Alshams |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sutue Alshams 25/1, 17/2 and cheekpieces on first time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 55 days ago. Down in trip with blinkers back on. Others are more obvious. Just the one win from 13 and that was over 1m4f last August; trip concerns. |
|||
11th (8)  (8/1 -33%)This Years Love |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) This Years Love 8/1, Third Beverley win of a productive year when making all over 1¼m (good to firm) 3 weeks ago. First-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are retained. Needs to show he's as effective away from Beverley. Up 3lb for last time; all his wins have been in Class 6 affairs at Beverley. |
|||
12th (5)  (33/1 -32%)Leveret |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Leveret 33/1, Fair maiden at 2 but no significant impact in 3 handicaps this year. A first-time visor needs to have a positive effect. Maiden who hasn't progressed from a close fourth on the AW last winter. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
THIS YEARS LOVE has made steady progress since winning at Beverley in June. A narrow winner on the Westwood last time out, Mick and David Easterby's gelding is only 3lb higher and he could go in again with further improvement on the cards. Jewel Maker continues to knock on the door and he's unlikely to be far away, although the younger legs of Swift Salian might present a more significant threat.
Tim Easterby looks to hold a strong hand here, with JEWEL MAKER taken to gain reward for his recent consistency. Stablemate Mount King came good last autumn and is handicapped to win again. Lucinda Russell 3-y-o John L Sullivan has made a positive start to his career and also makes the shortlist.
Tim Easterby has chances with Jewel Maker and MOUNT KING. The latter went for home too early at Ripon and that can be upgraded.

(6)  (6/1 +25%)Elemental Eye |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Elemental Eye 6/1, Yet to taste success in 12 attempts but not for the first time this year he caught the eye when sixth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good) 14 days ago, missing break. Remains one to bear in mind now stamina is tested further. 0-12 and has a bit to prove, not least stamina. |
|||
1st (13)  (11/4 +61%)Caballo De Mar |
11/4(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Caballo De Mar 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden who went agonisingly close to bucking that trend when second of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 10 days ago, rallying final 50 yds and edged out post. Unexposed at this trip and respected for in-form yard. Looked unlucky not to get off the mark at Lingfield ten days ago; 2lb well in. |
|||
2nd (9)  (6/1 -33%)L'eagle Aid |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) L'eagle Aid 6/1, Fair gelding who bounced back to form to make most of good opportunity in 5-runner Catterick novice (12f) 32 days ago, going clear over 1f out and eased close home. Interesting if he can use that as a springboard back in handicaps. Didn't achieve much when easily winning a Catterick novice last time; this will be tougher. |
|||
3rd (8)  (25/1 -56%)Glasses Up |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Glasses Up 25/1, Isn't the force of old but justified support to end a losing run here (1¼m) in August but not in the same form either outing since, eighth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good, 28/1) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Eight of his nine wins have come at this track; can never be completely dismissed here. |
|||
4th (10)  (20/1 -25%)Lindwall |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Lindwall 20/1, 3-time winner earlier in career for Sir Mark Prescott. Placed on a couple of occasions upon joining new yard this summer but recent exploits on AW/turf haven't been so inspiring. Blinkers worn last time quickly discarded here. 0-15 since completing an AW hat-trick in the autumn of 2021. |
|||
5th (11)  (12/1 -20%)Belle Of Annandale |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Belle Of Annandale 12/1, Dual hurdles winner last year who comes here having not been disgraced in that sphere of late, fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f) 34 days ago, running on. Visor back on returned to the Flat and on a workable mark judged on pick of form in this sphere. Both wins have come over hurdles; 0-21 on the Flat and makes little appeal. |
|||
6th (3)  (17/2 +15%)Southern Voyage |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Southern Voyage 17/2, Latest win at Doncaster in May. Good fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 50/1) 22 days ago. Each-way possibilities once more. 1lb above his last winning mark; each-way claims if seeing out the longer trip. |
|||
7th (5)  (9/1 -20%)Love Safari |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Love Safari 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden who went close on a couple of occasions for Charlie Johnston earlier this season. Disappointing on final 2 starts for that yard, so hopes pinned on a stable switch/change of headgear perking him up. 0-7; makes his stable debut in a first-time visor; something to prove. |
|||
8th (12)  (4/1 +60%)Annandale |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Annandale 4/1, On a long losing run but not for first time this year he wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 6 days ago, faring best of those held up. Effective at this longer trip (C&D winner) and he's interesting re-united with Paul Mulrennan. Won the 0-95 handicap over this trip on the Saturday of this meeting in 2021; interesting. |
|||
9th (4)  (80/1 -300%)Galahad Threepwood |
80/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Galahad Threepwood 80/1, Has finished nearer last than first in handful of starts since joining present yard, albeit unsuited by the way the race developed when ninth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good, 100/1) 14 days ago. Mark has eased further but would need to see market support to make him of interest. No impact under either code since falling heavily over hurdles in March last year. |
|||
10th (7)  (14/1 -17%)Tilsitt |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tilsitt 14/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2022 but mark has steadily eased as a result and he was a creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f) 24 days ago, albeit finding less than looked likely off the bridle. Others appeal more for win purposes. Losing run up to 25 and gives the impression this trip stretches him. |
|||
11th (2)  (12/1 -20%)Ravenscraig Castle |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ravenscraig Castle 12/1, C&D winner who comes here on a lengthy losing run but didn't fare badly without being seen to best effect when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on and lower in weights than he's been for a long time. C&D winner but losing run up to 27; others seem more likely. |

12th (15)  (125/1 -279%)Well Planted |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Well Planted 125/1, Flat/hurdles winner but struggling for form in latter sphere in recent months, again failing to beat a rival when last of 8 in handicap at Perth (16.2f) 11 days ago. Has gone well over this C&D in the past but would need to see market confidence behind him. One of 3 runners from this yard. Last three wins have come over hurdles, but he hasn't been in much form over them lately. |

13th (14)  (22/1 -83%)Thomas G |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Thomas G 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in maiden (17/2) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 38 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut and betting may prove a useful guide. Improvement needed up half a mile in trip on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ANNANDALE hasn't made much of an impact over a host of inadequate trips recently, but he did catch the eye at Musselburgh last time. Jim Goldie's charge finished down the field in the corresponding event 12 months ago, but he is now 10lb lower and looks to have been given a real chance. Belle Of Annandale was another who contested this last year and she should not be written off following a couple of promising efforts over hurdles, while L'Eagle Aid is another to consider.
L'EAGLE AID dispelled a couple of lesser efforts in no uncertain terms when landing a small-field novice at Catterick 32 days ago and, with his early-season form in handicaps having worked out well, he could be worth chancing to build on that run. Billy No Mates, Annandale and Caballo de Mar are others to consider.
This can go to ANNANDALE, now 26lb lower than when winning the 0-95 handicap over this trip on the Saturday of this meeting in 2021.

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.

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.
