1st (1) (5.5/1 -83%) Symbol Of Hope |
5.5/1(-83%) | (1) Symbol Of Hope 5.5/1, Recorded a fourth course success when winning 15-runner handicap at this course (5f, soft, 8/1) 16 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Shesadabber, always in command from the front. Not taken lightly. Plenty in his favour and could easily stay in front again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/1 +56%) Fair And Square |
7/1(+56%) | (8) Fair And Square 7/1, Remains a maiden after 34 Flat runs. 16/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to soft) 1 day ago. Blinkers back on. Frustrating maiden; only eighth yesterday and bare 5f seems to suit him best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (20/1 -43%) The Daley Express |
20/1(-43%) | (3) The Daley Express 20/1, C&D winner. Ended last year out of form and has fared no better in 2 starts this season, in first-time blinkers when 11½ lengths twelfth of 15 to Symbol of Hope in handicap at this course (5f, soft, 14/1) 16 days ago. Well behind Symbol Of Hope and Shesadabber here latest; can pop up but is risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (18/1 +45%) The Cola Kid |
18/1(+45%) | (10) The Cola Kid 18/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. After 8 months off, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft, 25/1) 13 days ago. Return of blinkers needs to spark a revival. No real sign of capitalising on falling mark/winning for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (6.5/1 -30%) Shesadabber |
6.5/1(-30%) | (2) Shesadabber 6.5/1, Stepped up on seasonal/stable debut when 1¼ lengths second of 15 to Symbol of Hope in handicap at this course (5f, soft, 11/2) 16 days ago. Shortlisted. Clear best of the rest behind Symbol Of Hope latest; slightly longer trip here is a minus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (6.5/1 -44%) Diamond Cottage |
6.5/1(-44%) | (4) Diamond Cottage 6.5/1, At least as good as ever when successful at Brighton in April and also ran well when third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/2) 18 days ago. Leading contender with hood reapplied. Peak form last two starts (7f) but likes to lead and may struggle to dominate this sprint. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (6/1 +50%) Bear To Dream |
6/1(+50%) | (5) Bear To Dream 6/1, After 5 weeks off, wasn't in the same form as her previous outing when ninth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 20/1) 21 days ago. Bounce back called for dropped in trip. Dual winner at Brighton last year but may be taken off her feet in this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (28/1 -12%) Savalas |
28/1(-12%) | (11) Savalas 28/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. 28/1, did too much too soon when fifth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 50 days ago. Has fallen further in the weights back in a handicap, but more needed to take advantage. Mark has plummeted and yard could find him a race here but it's unlikely to be this one. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 -60%) More Than Likely |
40/1(-60%) | (9) More Than Likely 40/1, C&D winner a year ago. However, down the field on her final 3 starts last season, tenth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft, 40/1) in September. Others preferred after 8 months off. 40-1 winner off 2lb higher over C&D this time last year but do well to land this on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (14/1 -180%) Delagate The Lady |
14/1(-180%) | (7) Delagate The Lady 14/1, Back on turf, returned to winning ways when making all in 11-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, heavy, 11/1) 32 days ago. Task is now to be able to back up her latest effort. 5lb rise for latest win less of a concern than the competition she'll face for the lead. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (7.5/1 +38%) Hagia Sophia |
7.5/1(+38%) | (6) Hagia Sophia 7.5/1, Looked rusty after 7 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 9/2) 15 days ago, very slowly away. Had won 2 of her last 3 starts in 2022, so could step forward from her recent run. Likely has more to come this year but on back foot if again blowing start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (6.5/1 +46%) Okaidi |
6.5/1(+46%) | (12) Okaidi 6.5/1, Failed to come on for recent run when fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 15/2) 44 days ago. Back down in trip with blinkers on 1st time as he bids for a first victory. Big C&D run last turf start but can't support on what we've seen lately. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (18/1 +18%) Sapphire's Moon |
18/1(+18%) | (13) Sapphire's Moon 18/1, Eleven runs since her sole win in 2022. 11/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 14 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time as he returns to this shorter distance. Managed only fourth under favourable conditions the last twice; can probably oppose. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
SYMBOL OF HOPE boasts a fine record at this venue, as displayed once more when making all on his return earlier in the month, and he looks the one to beat off only 4lb higher. Delagate The Lady found the drop to 6f to her liking when scoring at Yarmouth last month and she's feared most off 5lb more in the ratings. The in-form duo of Shesadabber and Diamond Cottage complete the shortlist.
DIAMOND COTTAGE has proved at least as good as ever on her last 2 starts, winning at Brighton before running well at Wolverhampton a week later, so she is taken to score again with a hood now reapplied. She can get the better of Symbol of Hope, who bids to follow up his course success from 16 days ago, with Shesadabber completing the shortlist.
A few front-runners line up but SYMBOL OF HOPE is selected to see them off and last home. Hagia Sophia should be closing late.

1st (5) (0.44/1 +52%) Haatem |
0.44/1(+52%) | (5) Haatem 0.44/1, Phoenix of Spain colt who produced a promising first effort when third of 13 in minor event (11/1) at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, finishing with running left. Should improve and looks sure to go close. Eyecatching third on debut and sets newcomers good standard to aim at. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (18/1 -80%) Relentless Warrior |
18/1(-80%) | (7) Relentless Warrior 18/1, Soldier's Call colt who went with little encouragement when eleventh of 13 in minor event at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago. Looks one for the longer term. Shorter in the betting than Haatem on debut but never looked happy and beat just two home. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (20/1 -25%) Shaws Phoenix |
20/1(-25%) | (10) Shaws Phoenix 20/1, Foaled February 1. 27,000 gns yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 6f/7f winner Flirty Rascal and 2-y-o 5f winner Iva Go. Dam 7f winner. Interesting to see where she sits in the market versus stablemate Johnny Johnson. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/1 +0%) Anglesey Lad |
11/1(+0%) | (1) Anglesey Lad 11/1, Foaled February 14. €22,000 foal, €37,000 yearling, Kodi Bear colt. Half-brother to 6f/7f winner Beau Warrior and 2-y-o 5f winner Chattanooga Boy. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Dick Whittington. Makes appeal. Likely type and trainers 2yos are going well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (66/1 -164%) Johnny Johnson |
66/1(-164%) | (6) Johnny Johnson 66/1, Foaled February 17. 17,000 gns foal, £15,000 yearling, Due Diligence gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Shine Honey Shine. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to useful 8.3f winner Cliche. Trainer, who is also represented by Shaws Phoenix, won the race contested by Haatem. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (7.5/1 -36%) Big Brown Bear |
7.5/1(-36%) | (3) Big Brown Bear 7.5/1, Foaled March 18. €30,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Brother to 7.4f winner Profound Alexander. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Making Light. Trainer has made a good start with her juveniles so one to look out for. Trainer had excellent start to season with juveniles and he's one to note. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (28/1 -133%) Rogue Dream |
28/1(-133%) | (9) Rogue Dream 28/1, Dark Angel filly who showed only greenness when last of 8 in minor event at Kempton (5f) on debut 5 weeks ago. Probably one for later down the line. Looks one for further down the line based on greenness shown first time out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (33/1 -32%) Dainty Lady |
33/1(-32%) | (12) Dainty Lady 33/1, Dandy Man filly who was held back by inexperience when eighth of 11 in minor event at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) on debut 23 days ago. Open to improvement. Green when beaten over 11l on debut; likely one for later on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (12/1 +33%) Art Fantastique |
12/1(+33%) | (2) Art Fantastique 12/1, Foaled April 11. Harry Angel colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 6f/7f winner Tapisserie and 2-y-o 6f winner Sky Blue Pink. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Appeal on paper; Tom Ward's first 2yo runner of the season; watch market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (80/1 -220%) Hit The Sack |
80/1(-220%) | (13) Hit The Sack 80/1, Foaled April 29. €5,500 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Moriarty. Trainer has nice juvenile or two most years; betting should be revealing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (28/1 -56%) Adaay To Win |
28/1(-56%) | (11) Adaay To Win 28/1, Adaay filly who made an unpromising start to career when fifth of 7 in minor event (6/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Will need to leave that effort well behind. Likely to leave debut effort behind but can't support. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
There was plenty to like about HAATEM's third-placed finish on his debut at Goodwood recently and he looks a big player based on that evidence. Adaay To Win could prove the chief danger of the remaining rivals who have raced. That said, a bigger threat could emerge from one of the newcomers in Big Brown Bear and Anglesey Lad, who both require a check in the market.
This looks to revolve around HAATEM, who started to get the hang of things late on at Goodwood 12 days ago and with improvement very much on the cards, Richard Hannon's colt should take some stopping. Eve Johnson Houghton had a winning newcomer here last month and her Big Brown Bear may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Anglesey Lad and Shaws Phoenix.
Some interesting newcomers but HAATEM will have gone into plenty of notebooks at Goodwood and he can go two better.

Pearly Gaits |
(5) (18/1 -50%)18/1(-50%) | (5) Pearly Gaits 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, much improved when second of 5 on handicap debut at Windsor (5f, heavy) last month. Didn't seem to take to Brighton next time and respected on the Windsor effort. Close 2nd on handicap debut last month but subsequent effort less convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (2) (2/1 +47%) Cluedo |
2/1(+47%) | (2) Cluedo 2/1, Modest form when reaching the frame twice in maiden company at Chepstow at the end of last summer but it's possible she'll go on to better things in handicaps this year. Interesting to see how she goes in the betting. Improved with each 2yo run and could have been let into handicaps lightly; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3.33/1 +33%) Smasher |
3.33/1(+33%) | (4) Smasher 3.33/1, Modest form. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f, 8/1) 20 days ago. Makes turf debut. Latest 3rd (6f, AW) not a bad run but more required if he's to make a winning turf debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (1.25/1 -71%) Wedgewood |
1.25/1(-71%) | (1) Wedgewood 1.25/1, Plenty in hand when completing a 5f Wolverhampton hat-trick last week. A 6 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop her if in similar form back on the grass. 3-3 this year, all over 5f on AW; thrown in under a penalty; drying ground would suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/1 +61%) Get Busy |
11/1(+61%) | (3) Get Busy 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap (28/1) at this course (5.7f, soft) on reappearance 16 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Finished out the back over slightly further here on his handicap debut; enough to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
WEDGEWOOD readily completed a hat-trick at Wolverhampton on Friday and a 6lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop Tony Carroll's filly judged on her current form. The returning Cluedo makes her handicap debut off what looks a fair mark and the daughter of Kodiac may have more to offer this season. Smasher recorded his first placed effort at Chelmsford in April and makes most appeal of the remainder.
WEDGEWOOD was comfortably on top at Wolverhampton last week and is taken to make it 4 in a row back on turf. Brighton may not have suited Pearly Gaits last time and she might provide the chief threat if recapturing the form she showed when narrowly denied at Windsor prior to that.
Wedgewood is flourishing on AW but CLUEDO looks to have been let into handicaps on a lenient mark herself.

1st (3) (1.62/1 +35%) Galilaeus |
1.62/1(+35%) | (3) Galilaeus 1.62/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Evens, fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, soft) 16 days ago, pushed along over 3f out and one paced. Interesting his very good yard now reach for the blinkers and better showing not ruled out. Disappointing handicap debut/return; blinkers could sharpen and this is easier. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3.33/1 +0%) Damascus Steel |
3.33/1(+0%) | (2) Damascus Steel 3.33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 5/2) 9 days ago, no extra final 50 yds. Visor goes on now and he rates a likely player returned to turf. Bumped into one at Newcastle last week and looks a big player off same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (25/1 -150%) Atwixaday |
25/1(-150%) | (1) Atwixaday 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) in October, weakening over 1f out. Bred to be suited by this sort of trip and the betting should prove a useful guide now handicapping on back of 6 months off. Wouldn't be the first from this yard to really step forward once handicapping; up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (3.33/1 -11%) Dovena |
3.33/1(-11%) | (6) Dovena 3.33/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (6/1) at Brighton (11.9f, good) 15 days ago, drawing clear quickly and value for extra. Shortlist material. 6lb rise for easy Brighton win fair but faces some much more interesting rivals here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (25/1 -14%) Grand Duchess Olga |
25/1(-14%) | (4) Grand Duchess Olga 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in maiden (150/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 36 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. New trip promises to help and market can guide switched to turf for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (50/1 +0%) Highland Flyer |
50/1(+0%) | (7) Highland Flyer 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 21 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can only watch following well-beaten last of five on handicap debut/return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (5/1 +0%) Gasman |
5/1(+0%) | (5) Gasman 5/1, First run since leaving Seamus Durack when respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft, 5/2) 13 days ago, plugging on. May be sharper with that under his belt and longer trip may unlock some improvement. Stable debut as favourite can be marked up and he should appreciate this extra yardage. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Dovena benefitted from a drop in class when winning at Brighton 15 days ago, but she's 6lb higher in a deeper race today and, though respected, a chance is taken on GALILAEUS. The gelded son of Galileo was only fourth when sent off a warm favourite on his handicap debut earlier this month. However, with first-time blinkers applied it would be no surprise were he to take a step forward. Damascus Steel is another to consider.
DOVENA showed much improved form when comfortably off the mark at Brighton 2 weeks ago and a repeat should see her play a lead role again from this 6 lb higher mark. Ed Dunlop's Damascus Steel comes here on the back of good runner-up efforts and is feared, with Galilaeus also not dismissed out of hand equipped with first-time blinkers.
Gasman is one to keep on side but DAMASCUS STEEL, who is two good efforts from two off this mark in handicaps, is the tip.

1st (9) (8/1 -33%) Blue Hero |
8/1(-33%) | (9) Blue Hero 8/1, Possibly needed the run after 4 months off when eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good to soft, 12/1) 26 days ago. All 3 of his wins have come here, so could fare better this time around. All three wins here and is very well treated; squeak if last month's run was needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (16/1 +36%) La Forza |
16/1(+36%) | (11) La Forza 16/1, Failed to back up his previous effort when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (1m4f, firm, 11/2) when last seen back in August 2021. Has 21-month absence to overcome. Interesting that trainer is persevering with him (back from 652 days off); watch. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3.33/1 +49%) Further Measure |
3.33/1(+49%) | (3) Further Measure 3.33/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 16 days ago, sticking to task. Can give another good account. Ran okay over C&D latest (third) but lacked change of gear to take real hand in finish. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/1 +68%) Out Of Sight |
9/1(+68%) | (7) Out Of Sight 9/1, Finished well held after 7 months off when last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 14/1) 32 days ago. On a workable mark, but has a bit to prove at present. Stop-start of late and is out of form; will probably bounce back from front at some point. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Ermin Street |
6.5/1(-30%) | (1) Ermin Street 6.5/1, After a further 11 weeks off with tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (soft) 16 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Needs to find more. Yet to really fire for new yard, managing only fifth over C&D 16 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (2.5/1 -53%) Beryl Burton |
2.5/1(-53%) | (5) Beryl Burton 2.5/1, Unlucky not to go even closer when second of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft, 9/2) 14 days ago, conceding first run. Can go one better this time around. Closing style is fraught with danger; could easily make amends for unlucky second latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (50/1 -25%) Recorwoman |
50/1(-25%) | (8) Recorwoman 50/1, Again very slowly away when tenth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 20/1) 35 days ago. Step up in trip not enough to tempt. Slow starter; patchy record in Britain and has stamina to prove (unraced beyond 8.3f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (6.5/1 +35%) Magical Dragon |
6.5/1(+35%) | (10) Magical Dragon 6.5/1, Thirteen runs since his sole win back in 2021. After 5 months off, ran well when fourth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (1m2f, soft, 20/1) 16 days ago. Can give his running again. Unpredictable; Windsor return was pleasing and trainer has hit form so he's considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (11/1 -38%) Millions Memories |
11/1(-38%) | (2) Millions Memories 11/1, After 5 months off, gave his running when third of 7 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good, 17/2) 25 days ago, dictating. Can get involved once more from 2 lb below his last winning mark. Close third of seven at Brighton last month (run of race); chance if building on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (100/1 -100%) Lucky Mascot |
100/1(-100%) | (6) Lucky Mascot 100/1, Showed bit more than previously for current yard when fourth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (1m, good, 33/1) 15 days ago. Needs to build on that effort upped in trip with tongue strap on 1st time. Showed bit more for new yard latest but moving up to 1m2f needs to unlock more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (33/1 -136%) A Mhacin |
33/1(-136%) | (4) A Mhacin 33/1, Following another 11 weeks off, again showed little when last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m, 50/1) 14 days ago. Best watched as he goes back up in trip. Impossible to fancy on what we've seen handicapping in Britain. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Beryl Burton continues to run well in defeat and she merits consideration, as does Millions Memories, who would hold every chance if able to build on his recent Brighton third. However, the vote goes to BLUE HERO. A three-time course winner, he was second in the corresponding event last year off 6lb higher, so Adrian Wintle's charge looks handicapped to go one better today.
BERYL BURTON has started the season in good form with a pair of runner-up finishes, conceding first run at Pontefract a fortnight ago, so she can build on those efforts and return to winning ways. Millions Memories gave his running on his reappearance and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Further Measure.
Magical Dragon and Blue Hero have claims but BERYL BURTON is the most solid. An unlucky second two weeks ago was a PB.

1st (10) (50/1 +24%) Kraken Filly |
50/1(+24%) | (10) Kraken Filly 50/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. First run since leaving Keith Dalgleish when twelfth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft, 28/1) 26 days ago. More needed. Maiden; never figured here on debut for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (4/1 +11%) Lhebayeb |
4/1(+11%) | (9) Lhebayeb 4/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 15/2, good second of 13 in handicap at this course (11.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Frame claims again. Still a maiden but ran creditably here last time; not without a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (14/1 -211%) Waterloo Sunset |
14/1(-211%) | (3) Waterloo Sunset 14/1, Creditable fourth at Lingfield (10f, AW) on return but was unable to handle heavy conditions at Windsor last time. Needs to translate his AW form to turf on this easier surface. Sole win came on AW; turf record isn't fully convincing. |

4th (2) (3/1 +75%) Carp Kid |
3/1(+75%) | (2) Carp Kid 3/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Windsor in July. Failed to make an impact either outing this season and will need a revival here, though has now dropped below last winning mark. C&D winner in 2021 but has a question mark over current form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (5.5/1 -38%) Albus Anne |
5.5/1(-38%) | (8) Albus Anne 5.5/1, Kept her quirks in check and produced another good effort when third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, soft, 18/5) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly from same mark. In-form maiden, placed twice at Windsor this term; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (16/1 -14%) Silver Bubble |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Silver Bubble 16/1, Four wins from 10 runs last year. Possibly still needed run when seventh of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Windsor (10f, soft) 16 days ago. Edging back down weights and could make more impact now. Has done her winning at Brighton; opposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (3.5/1 +36%) Mrembo |
3.5/1(+36%) | (7) Mrembo 3.5/1, C&D winner. 15/2, stuck on well when fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) on seasonal return 29 days ago. Won second-time-out last season and shouldn't be discounted. Sole success came on this card 12 months ago; interesting off a workable mark back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (20/1 -11%) Urban Forest |
20/1(-11%) | (11) Urban Forest 20/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Brighton (11.9f, good) 15 days ago, doing too much too soon. Has gone well here in the past but others are likelier winners on balance. Maiden; needs to improve on Brighton reappearance effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (11/1 -214%) Mc'Ted |
11/1(-214%) | (4) Mc'Ted 11/1, Placed on 5 of his last 6 outings, respectable second of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 15 days ago, slowly away. Regular claimer retains ride and he's shortlist material. Largely consistent; back on last winning mark and holds a solid chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (33/1 +0%) Wise Glory |
33/1(+0%) | (1) Wise Glory 33/1, Didn't take to hurdling over the winter and perhaps needed run when fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, heavy, 16/1) 23 days ago. Others have stronger claims at present. Not exactly a solid option but this drop to Class 6 may help matters. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (33/1 -83%) Bbob Alula |
33/1(-83%) | (6) Bbob Alula 33/1, Untrustworthy individual. Well held on handicap hurdle debut at Uttoxeter last time. Off 8 months. Back up in trip. Enjoyed reasonably good season on Flat last year (2 wins and runner-up 3 times) but others look more solid overall. Possibilities on seasonal debut (won on reappearance last term). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
In an open event, it might be worth taking a chance on SILVER BUBBLE. Gay Kelleway's charge was progressive last year, winning four times, with the latest of her victories coming from a 2lb lower mark. She's been well held on her last two starts, but with Saffie Osborne back aboard (won on her three times), it would be no surprise to see an improved effort. Others to note include Lhebayeb and Mc'ted.
MC'TED is a consistent sort and has struck up a decent rapport with 7-lb claimer Alice Bond, so a replication of his recent placed efforts may well be enough to see him come out on top. Albus Anne isn't straightforward but is going through a good spell at present and she's feared most, with Mrembo also taken to step up on an encouraging return.
Back at Bath, MREMBO can double her tally. Mc'Ted, who holds solid claims, is second choice.

1st (6) (6/1 +0%) Pink Lily |
6/1(+0%) | (6) Pink Lily 6/1, Improved again when third of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Finished third in her last four handicap runs; career best run on return; in the mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (2.5/1 +29%) Greek Giant |
2.5/1(+29%) | (9) Greek Giant 2.5/1, Promising individual. 9/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 13 days ago, though would have benefited from stronger gallop. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly with further progress anticipated. Two fair efforts since handicapping; addition of cheekpieces could squeeze out more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (14/1 +30%) Raincloud |
14/1(+30%) | (5) Raincloud 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Again showed little under an attacking ride when sixth of 7 in minor event (200/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 41 days ago. More needed up in trip for handicap debut. Can leave her novice form behind her upped in trip and switched to low-grade handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (8/1 -7%) Chinthurst |
8/1(-7%) | (3) Chinthurst 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, probably needed run behind race-fit rivals when fourth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 23 days ago. Up in trip. Frame claims Beaten favourite on heavy ground on return; chance if bouncing back to his 2yo best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (2.5/1 -43%) Hourless |
2.5/1(-43%) | (8) Hourless 2.5/1, Cost 70,000 gns and proved different proposition on handicap debut when winning 6-runner event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 32 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Sets high standard with further progress likely. Big improvement to win on AW h'cap debut latest; 2lb rise looks lenient. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (22/1 +21%) Lady Bianca |
22/1(+21%) | (1) Lady Bianca 22/1, Again pulled hard when fourth of 5 in handicap (66/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 13 days ago. Yet to convince that she stays this far and others are preferred. Yet to confirm the promise of her third run in handicaps; down in grade but risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (40/1 +39%) Alicefromumbridge |
40/1(+39%) | (13) Alicefromumbridge 40/1, Won a very weak event at Lingfield in January and again ran below form when fifth of 7 in handicap (9/1) at that course (8f, AW) 47 days ago. Up in trip. 1m AW winner; not at her best the last twice; new trip now back on the grass. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (16/1 +20%) Athene's Kiss |
16/1(+20%) | (10) Athene's Kiss 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, failed to improve when fourth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at this course (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Uphill task. Offered a bit more when 4th over 1m on her h'cap debut; longer trip should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (66/1 -100%) Covertly |
66/1(-100%) | (14) Covertly 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fared no better for switch to handicaps when sixth of 12 at this course (8f, soft, 20/1) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Poor form in 4 runs, including recent handicap debut (1m); new trip not enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (40/1 +0%) Empire Of The Sun |
40/1(+0%) | (11) Empire Of The Sun 40/1, Showed a little bit more his first 2 outings in handicaps but made little impression when ninth of 12 (8/1) at this course (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Others preferred. Whiff of ability in 1m handicaps on AW; well held in blinkers here latest; new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (12/1 +14%) Star Sight |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Star Sight 12/1, Close second in Chelmsford nursery on final start at 2 yrs but has failed to make a serious impact either outing this term. Others are more persuasive. Went close on nursery debut in November (1m2f, AW) but not built on it in two runs since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (40/1 -150%) Spare Rib |
40/1(-150%) | (12) Spare Rib 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Showed a little bit more when fifth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 25 days ago, well positioned. Another step forward required if he's to make more impact here. Offered a bit more last time (1m2f, soft) without looking a winner in waiting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (16/1 -33%) Saratoga Spirit |
16/1(-33%) | (2) Saratoga Spirit 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, below form on turf debut when seventh of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 25 days ago. Bounce back called for. Needs improvement to win but that's quite possible after just five runs; down in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (7) (125/1 -89%) Tiz Likely |
125/1(-89%) | (7) Tiz Likely 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Again failed to beat a rival when last of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 38 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes turf debut. Much more needed. Not beaten a rival in two handicap runs; down in weights but with something to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PINK LILY was beaten a length last time at Salisbury on her return to action and her mark is unchanged for that effort, which is likely to put her bang there at the finish here. The main threat looks to be the last-time-out winner Hourless, who is only 2lb higher for that success at Wolverhampton and warrants plenty of respect. Greek Giant and Spare Rib are also both worthy of consideration.
HOURLESS appeals as the type to improve further and is very hard to oppose having been raised only 2 lb for a cosy success at Wolverhampton. Greek Giant hasn't really been seen to best effect in handicaps but has shown enough to think he could prove the main threat, whilst Pink Lily also merits respect after a good performance at Salisbury last time.
Having won a shade cosily on his handicap debut, this looks good for HOURLESS (nap) to defy a small rise in the weights.

1st (3) (3.33/1 -11%) Obama Army |
3.33/1(-11%) | (3) Obama Army 3.33/1, Good second of 10 in handicap (11/4) at Wetherby (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Going right way and latest effort has been boosted by the winner. Runner-up the last twice; same mark as latest effort (winner franked form); big chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (7.5/1 +12%) Threebars |
7.5/1(+12%) | (10) Threebars 7.5/1, Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago. Should give her running but needs to find some improvement. Runner-up over C&D this month; fair run on AW latest; new mark has now kicked in. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (6.5/1 -30%) Racing Demon |
6.5/1(-30%) | (11) Racing Demon 6.5/1, Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 5/2) 9 days ago. Should give another good account if the race doesn't come too soon. 11-race maiden; runner-up on his last three starts; should remain competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (28/1 -27%) J J Stingleton |
28/1(-27%) | (2) J J Stingleton 28/1, Winner at Kempton in November. 10/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. 1m AW winner at 2; well held on recent reappearance (1m2f); cheekpieces return now. |

5th (6) (2.25/1 +18%) War Chant |
2.25/1(+18%) | (6) War Chant 2.25/1, Good second of 9 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft, 5/2) 13 days ago, running on. Makes plenty of appeal. 7f winner at 2; improved effort when 2nd at Redcar two weeks ago; more appealing than many. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (6.5/1 +7%) Brabusach |
6.5/1(+7%) | (9) Brabusach 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Enters calculations. Improved effort at Wetherby latest but behind Obama Army; new headgear tried today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (22/1 +33%) Kohana Breeze |
22/1(+33%) | (4) Kohana Breeze 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap (66/1) at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Well beaten in her two handicaps last month; this is weaker but there are risks involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (33/1 +0%) Billaki Mou |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Billaki Mou 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 35 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Must improve. Promise at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month; excuses last time; blinkers now added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (18/1 -13%) Don't What Me Boy |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Don't What Me Boy 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form eighth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 28/1) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. More required. Likely has a better effort in him but he has the widest stall to contend with today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (10/1 -54%) Milvus |
10/1(-54%) | (7) Milvus 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, last of 10 in minor event at Kempton (6f) 49 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. May do better. Potential improver upped in trip for his handicap debut; betting to guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (100/1 -52%) Arlecchino's Star |
100/1(-52%) | (14) Arlecchino's Star 100/1, Last of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 50/1) 27 days ago. Plenty to prove right now. No improvement for wind surgery when last of five on AW latest; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (40/1 +0%) Pub Club |
40/1(+0%) | (1) Pub Club 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1 and visored for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, heavy) 37 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Little solid form and today's new headgear needs to have a positive effect; down in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (125/1 -150%) Bodega Nights |
125/1(-150%) | (12) Bodega Nights 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 50/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others make more appeal. Little solid form and she was well beaten on her handicap debut recently; up in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Obama Army (second) and Brabusach (third) renew rivalry from Wetherby last time, where the former can confirm that form. However, preference is for RACING DEMON, who has filled the runner-up spot on each of his last three outings and he has only been raised 2lb in the ratings for all of those efforts combined, which is likely to give him every chance of going one better.
WAR CHANT has few miles on the clock and found improvement when second at Redcar last time, so he's worth a chance to go one better at the possible expense of Racing Demon, who arrives in good order. Obama Army is also considered.
War Chant ran well last time but OBAMA ARMY has been banging at the door and this could be his big day.

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.
