1st (7)  (9/2 +10%)Monkey Miss |
9/2(+10%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Monkey Miss 9/2, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 9/1) 18 days ago, slowly away. Again showed enough last time, from another wide draw, to enter calculations down 2lb. |
|||
2nd (3)  (4/1 -20%)Anglesey Lad |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Anglesey Lad 4/1, Improved when runner-up in a 6f Newcastle nursery on final start at 2 yrs, and reappearance fourth of 9 over 7f at Wolverhampton 37 days ago wasn't a bad effort (couple of winners have come from the race). Entitled to come on for that and interesting down in trip. Inclined to pull hard from a wide stall on his Tapeta comeback (7.2f); one to consider. |
|||
3rd (1)  (8/1 -33%)It's Showtime |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) It's Showtime 8/1, Fourth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes turf debut. Blinkers back on. Still yet to win but running respectably and certainly bred to take to turf (from the family of Cheveley Park winner Tiggy Wiggy). Maiden who's gone the wrong way since handicapping; needs to improve on switch to turf. |
|||
4th (9)  (10/1 +60%)Tres Chic |
10/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tres Chic 10/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 14/1) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Win last autumn came at 8.2f (soft) and been as far as 1m4f; this is rather different. |
|||
5th (2)  (7/2 -56%)Forever Eighteen |
7/2(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Forever Eighteen 7/2, Creditable third of 9 in handicap (again well-backed at 10/3) at Newcastle (6f) on return 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could build on that. Rather drawn away from the action on his Tapeta return and is entitled to improve; player. |
|||
6th (4)  (12/1 -20%)Smooth Silesie |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Smooth Silesie 12/1, Winner at Lingfield in February. Fifth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 9 days ago. Generally consistent on the AW this year but over 5f; fully exposed anyway. |
|||
7th (5)  (8/1 +27%)Lady Twilight |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lady Twilight 8/1, Well held in 6f/7f minor event/maidens. Handicap debut. This is more realistic but couldn't be considered unless the market spoke firmly her way. |
|||
8th (8)  (16/1 +36%)Birkie Boy |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Birkie Boy 16/1, Winner at Brighton in October. 33/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Poor the last twice. Another ordinary effort last time, back from a short break, leaves him hard to fancy. |
|||
9th (6)  (10/1 -67%)Forgotten Treasure |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Forgotten Treasure 10/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 10/1) 18 days ago, not much room. Pulled hard the only time she's gone without a hood, a worry round here on slow ground. |
|||
10th (10)  (66/1 -32%)Majolica |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Majolica 66/1, Poor maiden. 50/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 18 days ago. String of poor efforts (6f-1m); no appeal under a jockey taking his first ride under rules. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
FOREVER EIGHTEEN was a good third on his return at Newcastle, despite being beaten three lengths, and dropped back in trip with a prime draw in stall nine, he has to have a decent chance with Alex Jary's claim in the saddle a bonus. Anglesey Lad looks capable of mounting a strong challenge after finishing fourth on his first run in six months, while Lady Twilight is one to watch in the market ahead of her handicap debut for the Moores.
ANGLESEY LAD has plenty of dash and could open his account dropped in trip after an encouraging comeback at Wolverhampton. It's Showtime and Forever Eighteen are a couple of the other likely players.
Forever Eighteen is respected but the draw is no issue this time for MONKEY MISS, whose dam won on soft going, and she's preferred.

1st (6)  (1/2 +45%)Star Anthem |
1/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Star Anthem 1/2, Foaled January 22. €45,000 yearling. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 7f winner Chartwell House and winner up to 7f Seven Brothers. Promising individual. 8/1, second of 8 in maiden at Newbury (5.2f, good to soft) on debut 17 days ago, running on. Sets a good standard. Sets a fairly useful standard on Newbury effort; trainer won this race in 2021 and 2023. |
|||
2nd (4)  (15/2 -25%)Red Sand |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Red Sand 15/2, Foaled February 1. Too Darn Hot colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 1m Red Mist and 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Feedyah, both useful. Dam 7f/1m winner. Interesting newcomer, though might need further ideally. Too Darn Hot colt, from a useful family; potentially above average; interesting. |
|||
3rd (9)  (150/1 -355%)Toolatetonegotiate |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Toolatetonegotiate 150/1, Foaled March 15. Havana Grey filly. Dam 5f/5.7f winner. First foal of a three-time Bath scorer; trainer's first 2yo runner; check the betting. |
|||
4th (8)  (80/1 -264%)Jane Garfield |
80/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jane Garfield 80/1, Foaled March 22. 26,000 gns yearling, James Garfield filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 6f), half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Minor Vamp and temperamental 1m-10.3f winner Beaumont's Party (both useful). 26,000gns yearling; yard has very low strike-rate with 2yos in recent seasons. |
|||
5th (5)  (3/1 +25%)Siegen |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Siegen 3/1, Foaled February 22. 250,000 gns yearling, Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f winner Arctic Thunder and French 1m-10.5f winner Al Khamsin. One to note on debut. 250,000gns yearling; Blue Point half-brother to three winners; major stable; shortlisted. |
|||
6th (2)  (18/1 -125%)Distant Rumble |
18/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Distant Rumble 18/1, Foaled February 14. 8,000 gns yearling, Rumble Inthejungle colt. Dam unraced sister to useful 1¼m winner (barely stays 11.5f) Injazati from a very good French/US family. 8,000gns yearling; by Rumble Inthejungle; trainer's first 2yo runner of the season. |
|||
7th (7)  (20/1 -25%)Harmonia |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Harmonia 20/1, Foaled January 21. Time Test filly. Sister to 11f/1½m winner Gibside and half-sister to 1m-9.4f winner Overheer. Dam lightly-raced sister to smart winner up to 10.7f Jackaroo. Sixth of 9 in minor event at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 33/1) on debut 14 days ago. Needs a big step forward. Bred to need further than 5f and shaped accordingly at Windsor. |
|||
8th (1)  (80/1 -300%)Bank On Kent |
80/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bank On Kent 80/1, Foaled March 17. Massaat gelding. Dam, 5f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to winners up to 1m Ardbrae Lady (useful) and Obe Gold (smart). First foal of a multiple 5f AW handicap winner for his yard; more interesting later on. |
|||
9th (3)  (25/1 -178%)Majestic Heights |
25/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Majestic Heights 25/1, Twice-raced colt. 5/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Windsor (5.1f, good) 21 days ago. Much more needed. Modest RPRs in both outings; needs to improve a good deal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Trainer Clive Cox has won two of the three runnings of this race and he has strong claims again with STAR ANTHEM. Beaten just a neck on his Newbury debut despite being carried right, he should be wiser now and could well make amends for that loss here. Siegen is possibly the best of the Richard Hannon pair with Pat Dobbs in the saddle and, as a son of Blue Point out of an Exceed and Excel mare, he is bred for speed. Red Sand could follow them home.
STAR ANTHEM showed more than enough when second on debut at Newbury recently to suggest he'll be winning sooner rather than later, and this looks a good opening. Siegen, in particular, and Red Sand are the interesting newcomers.
The clear form pick is Newbury runner-up STAR ANTHEM. Interesting newcomers Siegen and Red Sand look the biggest dangers.

1st (4)  (15/2 -7%)Under Curfew |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Under Curfew 15/2, C&D winner. Thirty-four runs since last win in 2021. Wasn't disgraced after 7 months off when fifth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Shaped fairly on comeback; maybe faster ground would have been optimal but he's respected. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/8 +59%)Joy Choi |
11/8(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Joy Choi 11/8, Ran well after 8 months off despite meeting trouble in running when second of 13 in handicap at this course (5.7f, soft, 33/1) 8 days ago, running on. One to bear in mind with that under her belt. Unlucky not to go closer still at a big price here last weekend; on the shortlist. |
|||
3rd (6)  (9/1 -29%)Sisters In The Sky |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sisters In The Sky 9/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 8/1) 13 days ago. Has to be taken seriously from this much-reduced mark back on turf. Having a first crack at 5f since his 2yo days and others hold stronger claims. |
|||
4th (3)  (4/1 +60%)Symbol Of Hope |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Symbol Of Hope 4/1, 3-time C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form on first outing since leaving Grace Harris after 6 months off when seventh of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to build on that, though. Won the last two runnings of this off the same mark; decent chance of the hat-trick. |
|||
5th (9)  (22/1 -38%)Liberty Bay |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Liberty Bay 22/1, Thirty-two runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, wasn't seen to best effect after 10 weeks off when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 26 days ago. Others look stronger. Winless since her 3yo days and is very limited now; will do well to lead from this stall. |
|||
6th (5)  (15/2 +53%)Autumn Angel |
15/2(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Autumn Angel 15/2, Course winner. Ran poorly when last of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (6f) 3 weeks ago. Bounce back needed. First start at 5f since last spring (C&D); conditions are fine but she'll want a good test. |
|||
7th (8)  (12/1 -33%)We're Reunited |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) We're Reunited 12/1, C&D winner. 11/1, looked rusty after 6 months off when fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 26 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Three-time course winner who might have been better drawn for one happiest in front. |
|||
8th (7)  (16/1 -220%)Viewfromthestars |
16/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Viewfromthestars 16/1, 4/1 and visored for 1st time, finally got off the mark in 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 25 days ago, suited by way race developed. Looks an unlikely sort to follow up, however. The first-time visor did the trick last time; now needs to back that up back on turf. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Viewfromthestars was all out to win at Chelmsford last time and a 2lb rise may be enough to stop the son of Starspangledbanner from following up. He can go close along with the consistent Joy Choi, who has finished in the top three in each of her last five starts, but a chance is taken on WE'RE REUNITED. His two wins on turf were both here, one over this trip and both off higher marks, and he looks all set for another big run.
SISTERS IN THE SKY struggled from marks in the 60s on turf last year but she's tumbled down the weights over winter so gets the nod to regain the winning thread dropped back to the minimum trip at the expense of Joy Choi, who should come on appreciably from her recent course return. Profit And Loss had made a solid start for George Baker so completes the shortlist.
Everything looks set for SYMBOL OF HOPE (nap), who's fancied to complete a hat-trick in this race. Joy Choi is second choice.

1st (3)  (5/1 +9%)Moonlit Cloud |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moonlit Cloud 5/1, C&D winner. Shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 13 in handicap (4/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Capable of getting involved from her current mark. C&D winner who was at her best this time last year; ground too fast last time; player. |
|||
2nd (6)  (40/1 -264%)Carp Kid |
40/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Carp Kid 40/1, C&D winner. Recorded back-to-back victories at Windsor and Chepstow last summer. Not discredited when sixth of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (11.2f, good to firm, 18/1) in September. One to consider on reappearance. Entitled to need this at his age, back from eight months off, for a new yard. |
|||
3rd (9)  (9/2 +18%)Bloodhound |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Bloodhound 9/2, Took a step forward making his handicap debut when fifth of 14 at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft, 6/1) 15 days ago. Needs to find more again as he goes back up in trip. Handicap debut was better than it looked; is lightly raced and one to consider. |
|||
4th (2)  (15/2 -88%)Ciotog |
15/2(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ciotog 15/2, Dual course winner in 2023. Has been in good form this year, never nearer when third of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 58 days ago. Major player back at this venue. A near-miss and two wins over 1m here late last summer; hard to knock out of the equation. |
|||
5th (8)  (15/2 +25%)Celebrating Ethel |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Celebrating Ethel 15/2, After 13 weeks off, possibly needed the run on first outing since leaving Andrew Kinirons when seventh of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good, 11/1) 3 weeks ago. Could still have more to offer at this trip. Lacked consistency in Ireland; ought to do better than on comeback if more amenable. |
|||
6th (5)  (9/1 +18%)Stage Show |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Stage Show 9/1, Wasn't able to build on promise of stable/seasonal debut when fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 11/1) 18 days ago. Improvement required as he drops back down in trip. Didn't look to see out 1m5f latest following a decent comeback (both AW); each-way shout. |
|||
7th (4)  (9/2 -35%)Afloat |
9/2(-35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Afloat 9/2, Showed improved form on her final 2 starts last year, making it back-to-back wins in 12-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 11/10) in August. Respected as she bids for the hat-trick on her return. Finished last season on an upswing; interesting to see how she goes in the market. |
|||
8th (7)  (16/1 +60%)Gallimimus |
16/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gallimimus 16/1, Three-time winner for George Boughey but has offered little in 2 starts for current yard, last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 150/1) in October. Best watched after 6 months off. Poor in two runs for this yard last backend; has never run on ground slower than good. |
|||
9th (1)  (11/2 +21%)Midsummer Music |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Midsummer Music 11/2, Again ran creditably when 1¼ lengths fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 11/2) in November (has had a wind op since). Could be thereabouts as she drops in grade. Returns from wind surgery on a workable mark; stamina would be the main concern. |
|||
10th (10)  (12/1 -60%)Hotaugustnight |
12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hotaugustnight 12/1, First outing since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 3/1) 8 days ago, having run of race. Can give her running again with cheekpieces back on. Favourite over C&D last weekend, when inclined to over-race in front; cheekpieces back on. |
|||
11th (11)  (80/1 -100%)Royal Toast |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Royal Toast 80/1, Made the frame both starts on Flat for Joseph Patrick O'Brien. However, struggled in 4 outings over hurdles for current yard and well held back on the level in maiden at Kempton (11f, 200/1) 3 weeks ago. Makes handicap bow. Poor under both codes since joining from Joseph O'Brien for 10,000gns last autumn. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Afloat recorded a double at Yarmouth when last seen in August and she makes her return to action off a 4lb higher mark, so she has to be considered. However, the vote goes to CIOTOG, who has been thereabouts in this grade the last twice and he can make the most of an unchanged mark after his close-up third at Wolverhampton last time. Midsummer Music is another to watch out for.
CIOTOG arrives in good heart having been placed on all 3 starts this year, caught further back than ideal when third at Wolverhampton last time, so he could be ready to add a third course success to his tally. The hat-trick seeking Afloat isn't taken lightly on her reappearance, with Midsummer Music completing the shortlist.
Afloat was on the upgrade when last seen, but the vote goes to BLOODHOUND, who could never get in from a wide stall (1m) latest.

1st (3)  (11/2 -22%)Signcastle City |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Signcastle City 11/2, Attracted support after 9 months off and duly offered something to work on having fallen in the weights when seventh of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 11/2) 11 days ago. Back on turf and this return to 1m promises to suit. Big chance. Won 6f maiden as 2yo; not far away in good 1m and 7f races last spring; down in weights. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/4 +63%)Lunatick |
9/4(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lunatick 9/4, 5/1, found run of good form coming to a halt when sixteenth of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy) when last seen 6 months ago. Career-low mark to work with on return. Has C&D form; best 1m handicap form suggests he can go well off this mark if tuned up. |
|||
3rd (7)  (12/1 -41%)On The Cards |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) On The Cards 12/1, 11/2, failed to match previous form when sixth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 4 months ago. Makes handicap/turf debut and betting should be a decent guide. Lost out late in the 2nd of 3 AW starts (1m); open to improvement on turf/handicap debut. |
|||
4th (1)  (7/1 -17%)Hat Toss |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hat Toss 7/1, Ran poorly on first outing since leaving David Loughnane after 7 months off when last of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (7f) 3 weeks ago. Hood back on. Sole win at 7f; same mark as close 2nd over 1m (good) on latest turf start in August. |
|||
5th (6)  (15/2 -36%)Ring Of Light |
15/2(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ring Of Light 15/2, Completed AW hat-trick in late-2022. 11/1, shaped as if retaining ability after 17 months off when fifth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 3 weeks ago. Entitled to strip fitter for that here. Ended 2022 with an AW hat-trick at 7f/1m; missed last year; better for recent return. |
|||
6th (8)  (66/1 -136%)Mawada |
66/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mawada 66/1, Fair on the Flat up to 1m for Richard Fahey but offered little making hurdling bow at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 6 months ago. Has since left Sheila Lewis and can only be watched returned to the level. Placed all 3 starts at about 7f as 2yo; lightly raced and well held since; new trainer. |

7th (5)  (40/1 -122%)Secret Strength |
40/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Secret Strength 40/1, Offered little on first outing for 7 months/since leaving Jim Boyle when last of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on. Three wins at 5f and 7f; never sighted on debut for new yard; lots to prove at 1m. |
|||
8th (4)  (2/1 -33%)Fleurir |
2/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fleurir 2/1, 8/13, didn't need to improve to get off the mark with ease in 9-runner maiden at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) when last seen 9 months ago. Enters calculations on just her second handicap outing for a top yard. Consistent at 1m in 2023; entitled to be involved but off since July so fitness an unknown. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Fleurir shed her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking at Pontefract in July last year and, if she has improved over the winter, then she could get involved on her handicap bow. However, preference is for RING OF LIGHT, who made his return from a layoff to finish fifth at Windsor in this grade and he remains on the same mark. He recorded an all-weather hat-trick before that and, with that run under his belt, he could be ready to strike. On The Cards is another to consider.
FLEURIR didn't need to advance her form when getting off the mark at Pontefract last September and this looks a good opportunity for Roger Varian's 4-y-o to follow up starting her 2024 campaign. Second choice is Signcastle City, who offered something to work on at Chelmsford recently having fallen in the weights during the second half of last year, with Ring of Light rounding off the shortlist.
This can go to LUNATICK, who divided smart sorts on his reappearance last year, with Signcastle City the main danger.

(12)  (70/1 -112%)C'est Encore |
70/1(-112%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) C'est Encore 70/1, Has failed to beat a rival in 3 starts, finishing well held in 12-runner minor event at Kempton (8f, 300/1) 54 days ago. Eyeshields on 1st time as he makes handicap debut. Brings dismal form claims to this turf/handicap debut. |
|||
1st (5)  (6/1 +8%)Meet Me In Meraki |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Meet Me In Meraki 6/1, Upped in trip, showed benefit of reappearance run when fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 6/1) 26 days ago. Still looking for his first win but he remains unexposed at this distance. 0-10 but ran encouragingly upped to 1m at Lingfield most recently; in the mix. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/1 -75%)Beach Point |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Beach Point 7/1, After 5 months off, was well backed (11/4) but finished eighth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Clearly thought capable of better as he makes only his third start in a handicap. Finished behind Newfangled at Kempton but started favourite and should do better. |
|||
3rd (6)  (18/1 +10%)Keen Interest |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Keen Interest 18/1, Has been struggling for form this year, eighth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 36 days ago. Continues to fall in the weights but more needed to take advantage back on turf. Far from solid on AW form for current yard; returns to turf for first time since debut. |
|||
4th (1)  (4/1 +27%)Newfangled |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Newfangled 4/1, Making his return from 7 months off (had been gelded), took a step forward when 2 lengths fifth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Could still have more to offer. Likely to build on Kempton reappearance effort; sibling to two winners for his yard. |
|||
5th (3)  (28/1 -40%)Tomorrow Day |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tomorrow Day 28/1, Following an 8-month absence (gelded). finished well held on first run since leaving Seamus Durack when ninth of 10 in maiden at this C&D (good to soft, 40/1) 17 days ago. Tongue strap now applied. Stiff task in C&D maiden on stable/seasonal debut; this is more suitable. |
|||
6th (9)  (4/1 -60%)Amerigo Vespucci |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Amerigo Vespucci 4/1, In first-time cheekpieces back on turf, opened his account in 10-runner handicap (12/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, rallying to lead again line. Leading contender. Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Yarmouth; respected in the retained headgear. |
|||
7th (8)  (11/2 -10%)Bramble Jelly |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bramble Jelly 11/2, After 6 months off, finished closer than previously when third of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft, 16/1) a week ago. Task is now to build on her latest effort. Ran well at Windsor last week on seasonal debut; finishing third; each-way claims. |
|||
8th (10)  (7/1 +13%)Clear Justice |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Clear Justice 7/1, Racing from out of the handicap, shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 7 in nursery at Lingfield (8f, AW, 66/1) in November, missing break. Has been gelded ahead of his return from 6 months off. Market should be helpful as he's the only runner who lacks 2024 match practice. |
|||
9th (11)  (33/1 -32%)Escape The Grape |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Escape The Grape 33/1, Has made little impact so far in varied events, last of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 37 days ago. Back down in trip with cheekpieces now reached for. Form is poor; first-time headgear needs to make a difference. |
|||
10th (4)  (14/1 +13%)Running Deal |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Running Deal 14/1, Making his handicap debut, offered little after 3 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/1) 26 days ago. Remains early days but he has something to find as he switches to turf. Switch to turf may prompt improvement; one of two interesting runners for this yard. |
|||
11th (7)  (25/1 +0%)Weston Court |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Weston Court 25/1, Remains a maiden. Ran poorly after 4 months off when last of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 33/1) 2 weeks ago. Needs to get back on track returned to this shorter distance. Inconsistent maiden but has frame possibilities on best 2yo efforts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
AMERIGO VESPUCCI got off the mark with a narrow victory in a similar event at Yarmouth a couple of weeks ago and the three-year-old merits the utmost respect off just a 3lb higher mark. Bramble Jelly showed plenty of promise when third at Windsor a week ago and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Meet Me In Meraki and Clear Justice.
Making his first start on turf for his current yard, AMERIGO VESPUCCI showed improved form in first-time cheekpieces when battling well for success at Yarmouth 13 days ago and he can score again now that he's up and running. Newfangled also took his form up a notch on his return and could be the main danger, ahead of Beach Point.
With the cheekpieces retained, AMERIGO VESPUCCI could well build on his Yarmouth win. Meet Me In Meraki is second choice.

10/3(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Andromedas Kingdom 10/3, Following a 6-month absence, resumed winning ways in 9-runner handicap at this C&D (soft, 12/1) 8 days ago, kept up to work. Expected to be bang there again under a penalty. Last three appearances include two soft-ground wins, latest over C&D; respected. |
|||
2nd (3)  (17/2 +6%)Galactic Glow |
17/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Galactic Glow 17/2, All 3 wins at this course (10.2f). Raced freely after 6 months off (had a wind op) when sixth of 13 in handicap here (11.6f, good to soft, 40/1) 17 days ago. Not discounted at this venue. Has done all his winning at Bath (1m2f); runner-up over C&D last September. |
|||
3rd (7)  (9/1 +10%)James Park Woods |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) James Park Woods 9/1, Twenty-three runs since his sole success in 2019. After 19 months off, shaped as if retaining ability when fourth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Brighton (8f, good) 16 days ago. Needs to be able to back up his recent run. Well treated on historical data but it's a long time since his sole win. |
|||
4th (10)  (9/2 +31%)Sao Timothy |
9/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sao Timothy 9/2, Back down significantly in trip, proved himself on turf when fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 50/1) 17 days ago. Enters calculations. 4yo maiden; ran respectably over C&D last time; frame possibilities. |
|||
5th (12)  (16/1 +20%)Danesfort |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Danesfort 16/1, Well held on first start for current yard and never better than mid-field when sixth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (soft) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for. Maiden whose chance depends on how well he responds to headgear. |
|||
6th (11)  (33/1 +0%)Wood Farm Wag |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Wood Farm Wag 33/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Fared no better back up in trip when sixth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (8.1f) a week ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Still a maiden and is far from consistent; blinkers enlisted. |
|||
7th (2)  (6/1 -118%)Moon Over The Sea |
6/1(-118%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Moon Over The Sea 6/1, C&D winner who has been successful twice at Wolverhampton this year. Continued in good heart when second of 7 in handicap at the same course (12.2f, 9/4) 23 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Consistent at 8.5f-1m4f on AW this year; won over C&D last spring; solid chance. |
|||
8th (1)  (18/1 +10%)Devore |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Devore 18/1, Down the field all 3 starts for her current yard, last of 9 in handicap (50/1) at Kempton (8f) 75 days ago. Has fallen further in the weights but enough to prove at present. Could stage a revival returned to turf and dropped to Class 6; possibilities. |
|||
9th (6)  (10/1 +29%)Bhubezi |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bhubezi 10/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. After 13 weeks off, possibly needed the run when 7¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Andromedas Kingdom in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (soft) 8 days ago. Others still more persuasive. Beaten almost 8l in the C&D event won by Andromedas Kingdom. |
|||
10th (8)  (9/2 +36%)Dappled Light |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dappled Light 9/2, Shaped better than the result on his seasonal/stable debut and ran to a similar level when fifth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 32 days ago. Not one to write off. Has shown promise on AW for new yard; Irish win came on turf; interesting. |
|||
11th (13)  (80/1 -60%)Musaytir |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Musaytir 80/1, Fifteen runs since since his sole success in 2023. Struggling for form at present, eighth of 10 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 26 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Sole success came over 6f on AW; lot to prove back on turf. |
|||
12th (9)  (28/1 -133%)Purple Poppy |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Purple Poppy 28/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Below-par effort when eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 8/1) in November. However, she held her form well in the main last season, including when placed on her reappearance. Bit to prove back on turf and 1m at this course may stretch her. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Andromedas Kingdom clearly sets the standard having won over this course and distance eight days ago, but a 5lb penalty for that victory will make life tougher for her. With that in mind, preference is for MOON OVER THE SEA, who was a close second off this mark at Wolverhampton last time and is a proven winner over this track and trip. Others to consider are James Park Woods and Sao Timothy.
After 6 months off, ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM made it 2 wins from her last 3 starts when successful at this C&D 8 days ago and a penalty might not be enough to prevent her from following up. Moon Over The Sea has been proving consistent this year and is feared most, while Sao Timothy could also be in the mix.
Recent C&D scorer ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM is now 2-3 in Class 6 events at about 1m. Moon Over The Sea has a solid chance.

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.
