1st (2) (13/8 -8%) Quietness |
13/8(-8%) | (2) Quietness 13/8, Four wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to firm, 5/6) 22 days ago, in control long way out. Further progress needed up 6 lb here but she's clearly on a roll. Four wins and a second in five runs since joining Marcus Tregoning; should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (15/8 +25%) Walter Hartright |
15/8(+25%) | (5) Walter Hartright 15/8, Four wins from 8 runs this year, the latest at Yarmouth in July. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, good to soft, 9/2) 23 days ago. 2-3 over this C&D and it's not hard to envisage this 3-y-o making a bold bid. Four in a row this summer (first two C&D) and good second latest; solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3/1 +63%) Loyal Touch |
3/1(+63%) | (3) Loyal Touch 3/1, Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, heavy, 28/1) 8 days ago, finding test too much. Now below last winning mark but yet to conclusively prove that he stays this trip. Below par since Chester win in June but is starting to look well handicapped again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/1 -38%) Drawn To Dream |
11/1(-38%) | (1) Drawn To Dream 11/1, 12¼ lengths eighth of 13 to Mistral Star in listed race (25/1) at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Sights now lowered and she needs considering. Below par in smart company last twice but could bounce back with her sights lowered. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The progressive QUIETNESS is a prime candidate to make this a searching test and having won four of her seven previous starts on turf, this tough filly appeals strongly in a field of this size, despite going up 6lb for her latest success. Walter Hartright, already a dual C&D winner, can make this tough for the selection, while Drawn To Dream, a Listed winner in Germany before joining Jamie Osborne, has been highly tried this season and also appeals now dropped in class.
WALTER HARTRIGHT and Quietness are both enjoying productive campaigns and are taken to fight out the finish of this handicap, despite the fact that they're both stepping up in class. The former is 2-3 over this C&D and the form of his latest Chepstow second looks solid, factors which helps tilt the scales in his favour. Drawn To Dream, formerly a useful performer in Germany, is interesting back in a handicap but Loyal Touch would prefer slower ground and Thundering is 5 lb out of the handicap.
Prolific pair Quietness and Walter Hartright look sure to go well but are taken on with the class-dropping DRAWN TO DREAM.

1st (4) (8/1 -78%) Democracy Dilemma |
8/1(-78%) | (4) Democracy Dilemma 8/1, Smart gelding. Latest win at Chester in May. 11/1, good fourth of 22 in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm) 10 days ago, well drawn. Likely to give it a good shot. Speedy front-runner; close fourth of 22 at York last week; should give another bold show. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/2 +44%) Albasheer |
9/2(+44%) | (2) Albasheer 9/2, Smart gelding. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Bit below form tenth of 19 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 7 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Looks vulnerable at this level. Ascot scorer whose below-par runs since are best forgiven; unlikely to be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (18/1 -157%) Emaraaty Ana |
18/1(-157%) | (5) Emaraaty Ana 18/1, Useful gelding. Latest win at Doha in February. 8/1, 6 lengths fifth of 8 to Quinault in listed race at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. Qatar winner in February but hasn't repeated form in two runs since returning to Britain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/3 +17%) Commanche Falls |
10/3(+17%) | (3) Commanche Falls 10/3, Smart gelding. Twelve wins from 41 Flat runs. 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 19 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Fine stable servant; ran well last Saturday; solid chance on the figures; high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/2 +62%) Staincliff |
5/2(+62%) | (7) Staincliff 5/2, Thrice-raced winner. Won 5-runner novice (1/6) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago, soon clear. This is an altogether different ball game but she looks a Group-class filly in the making. Promising and unexposed, although this is much her sternest assignment. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/2 +8%) Blue Storm |
11/2(+8%) | (6) Blue Storm 11/2, Useful colt. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Epsom in June. Good second of 28 in handicap (18/1) at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 71 days ago, slowly away. Bit to find with some of these but he's clearly progressive. Rapidly improving 3yo; arrives here fresh; another personal best is on the cards. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/1 -80%) Clarendon House |
9/1(-80%) | (1) Clarendon House 9/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, 12¾ lengths last of 12 to Bradsell in Nunthorpe Stakes at York (5f, good to firm, 40/1) 8 days ago. Capable of a bold show if he puts his best foot forward. In the mix judged on Cork Listed win, but his tendency to blow the start is a worry. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
A winner at this level last September, COMMANCHE FALLS is showing no signs of his enthusiasm waning and, on the back of a commendable third in a heritage handicap at York last week, Michael Dods' admirable campaigner has solid credentials for further Listed success. Democracy Dilemma is suggested as the chief threat to the selection, although last year's winner and historical data on three-year-olds contesting this race beyond the last 10 years suggests Epsom 3YO Dash winner Blue Storm and the unexposed Staincliff can stake bold claims for their generation.
A cracking renewal of this valuable contest, despite the small field. The unexposed STAINCLIFF has much more on her plate compared to when landing a 5-runner Windsor novice on her belated seasonal reappearance but she looks destined for bigger and better things. The Jack Channon-trained filly shades preference ahead of consistent trailblazer Democracy Dilemma. If Commanche Falls is on-song he will be a big threat and the progressive Blue Storm has to enter calculations, too.
In an open event, the front-running DEMOCRACY DILEMMA appeals most after performing so well in a big-field handicap at York last week.

1st (5) (18/5 -3%) Frank The Spark |
18/5(-3%) | (5) Frank The Spark 18/5, Two wins from 6 runs this year. 15/8, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 18 days ago. Big shout again. Lightly raced 4yo; cosy scorer at Nottingham this month and could follow up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (12/1 -20%) Sound Reason |
12/1(-20%) | (9) Sound Reason 12/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Hamilton (5f, soft) 8 days ago. Place possibilities. Good effort from front over C&D on penultimate start; well drawn near rail for similar run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/2 +21%) Miss Brazen |
11/2(+21%) | (3) Miss Brazen 11/2, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 7/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Live each-way contender. Winless this year but well treated on last season's form; could be ready to strike. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (12/1 -118%) Opal Storm |
12/1(-118%) | (11) Opal Storm 12/1, 13/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 16 days ago by ¾ length from Sound Reason, driven out. 4 lb rise demands more but she shouldn't be far away. Ended long losing run for yard when winning over C&D last time; should remain competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (4/1 -45%) Emeralds Pride |
4/1(-45%) | (1) Emeralds Pride 4/1, Three-time C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good) 6 days ago, well positioned. Another bold show likely under a penalty. Loves it here and gained third C&D success last Sunday; solid chance under 5lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (17/2 +66%) Sibyl Charm |
17/2(+66%) | (2) Sibyl Charm 17/2, Three wins from 12 runs this year. Hooded for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 12/1) 14 days ago. Down in trip and she looks vulnerable. 0-11 on turf; first-time hood at Doncaster two weeks ago failed to have a positive effect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (20/1 +20%) Travel Candy |
20/1(+20%) | (8) Travel Candy 20/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm, 50/1) 36 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark but others preferred all the same. Three 2yo wins; slim pickings this year but mark has now fallen; interesting after wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (50/1 -213%) Lady Nunthorpe |
50/1(-213%) | (7) Lady Nunthorpe 50/1, Fifth of 7 in nursery (4/1) at Newcastle (5f) on final 2-y-o start. Probably best watched starting out for new yard following a 10-month absence. Six-race maiden; wasn't beaten far over C&D last summer; new stable; could be unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (8/1 +27%) Let's Go Hugo |
8/1(+27%) | (10) Let's Go Hugo 8/1, Latest win at Newcastle in April. Creditable length third of 10 to Opal Storm in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good) 16 days ago. One to consider. 5f specialist; scored at Newcastle in April and knocking at the door since; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (5/1 +29%) Mattice |
5/1(+29%) | (4) Mattice 5/1, C&D winner. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 5/1) 9 days ago. Likely to find a few too good. Started the season in top form but seems to have gone off the boil; needs a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (33/1 -175%) Show Me Show Me |
33/1(-175%) | (6) Show Me Show Me 33/1, C&D winner. 10/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Catterick (5f, firm) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Well treated on best form but his two runs this season have not promised a great deal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Paul Midgley sent out the winner of this race last year and can stage a repeat with FRANK THE SPARK, who has made good progress of late and has a solid chance of backing up his Nottingham success off a 6lb higher mark. Emeralds Pride is feared most, despite a 5lb penalty for last Sunday's C&D win. Miss Brazen has an affinity for this course and also rates a player off 5lb lower than her last winning rating.
FRANK THE SPARK took another step forward when scoring in decisive fashion at Nottingham recently and a 6 lb rise in the weights may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Fellow last-time-out winner Emeralds Pride looks a big threat having accounted for 15 rivals in good style over C&D last weekend. Let's Go Hugo was behind Opal Storm and Sounds Reason here earlier this month but he is taken to reverse the placings with those rivals this time and he is third choice.
The most appealing profile belongs to MISS BRAZEN (nap) who likes it here and is well treated on the pick of her efforts from last year.

1st (6) (5/2 +44%) Spirit Of Applause |
5/2(+44%) | (6) Spirit Of Applause 5/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 6 in handicap (9/4) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Not dismissed. Only fourth of six when well backed at Redcar; not ruled out on retrieval mission. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/1 -11%) Glory Hyde |
5/1(-11%) | (7) Glory Hyde 5/1, 10/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 32 days ago by ¾ length from Bella Kopella, driven out. Likely to get competitive again. Up just 2lb for last month's C&D success and should be on the premises again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (8/1 -14%) Soul Seeker |
8/1(-14%) | (5) Soul Seeker 8/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 9/2) 12 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly. He isn't the force of old but his mark allows for that; each-way hopes if on a going day. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (11/1 -100%) Willolarupi |
11/1(-100%) | (9) Willolarupi 11/1, 5/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago by ½ length from Scoops Ahoy, suited by emphasis on stamina. Solid claims. Building a solid record at Beverley, off the mark over C&D last time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (12/1 +0%) Scoops Ahoy |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Scoops Ahoy 12/1, 28/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap at this C&D (good) 6 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Needs to get back on track. Proving difficult to predict; disappointing over C&D last time; others look safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (10/1 -100%) Nelson Gay |
10/1(-100%) | (2) Nelson Gay 10/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 5/2, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 15 days ago, running on. Shortlist material. Step back in right direction when second at Wolverhampton; good claims if building on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (11/1 -100%) Taygar |
11/1(-100%) | (8) Taygar 11/1, C&D winner. 15/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 40 days ago by 1½ lengths from Classy Clarets, pushed out. One to consider. Ayr winner in July; withdrawn after injuring rider in the paddock here next intended start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (9/2 +44%) Bella Kopella |
9/2(+44%) | (1) Bella Kopella 9/2, C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 16 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good) 6 days ago, left poorly placed. Not dismissed. Has a good record at Beverley; encouraging fifth over C&D last Sunday; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (20/1 +0%) Callianassa |
20/1(+0%) | (4) Callianassa 20/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (100/1) at Newcastle (6f). Off 8 months. Others are more appealing. 11-race maiden; below par when last seen during winter; now returns from eight months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (33/1 -106%) Classy Clarets |
33/1(-106%) | (10) Classy Clarets 33/1, 14/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. No obvious excuse when only seventh of nine at Doncaster; others have less to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GLORY HYDE (first) just got the better of Bella Kopella (second) when the pair met over this track and trip last month and, off a 2lb higher mark, she gets the vote to confirm that form en route to bringing up a double. Willolarupi impressed when coming from off the pace to score over C&D earlier this month and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.
Several arrive in good order and it's difficult to pick between them but TAYGAR was back to form when scoring last time and remains well treated on old form, so she gets the nod from the plum draw. Stablemate Nelson Gay looks a player and recent C&D winner Glory Hyde is an obvious player.
The pick of three last-time-out winners could be the progressive GLORY HYDE, up just 2lb for a C&D success last month.

1st (1) (9/4 +50%) Bassadanza |
9/4(+50%) | (1) Bassadanza 9/4, Foaled February 7. Too Darn Hot filly. Closely related to useful winner up to 1¼m Al Waqidi. Makes appeal on paper. Has a useful pedigree (by Too Darn Hot) and could be the pick of the newcomers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3/1 +60%) Fool Again |
3/1(+60%) | (2) Fool Again 3/1, Foaled January 30. $70,000 yearling, 150,000 gns 2-y-o, Medaglia D'oro filly. Dam useful US 1m/8.5f winner who stayed 9f. Notable newcomer and could go well. Changed hands for 150,000gns at the breeze-ups and worth monitoring in the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (11/4 +77%) Stiorra |
11/4(+77%) | (6) Stiorra 11/4, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in novice at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 28/1) on debut 15 days ago. Up in trip. More required. Weak in market and no threat when seventh at Newbury; improvement possible but necessary. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (33/1 +0%) Tales Of Immortal |
33/1(+0%) | (7) Tales Of Immortal 33/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in maiden (11/1) at Redcar (6f, soft) on debut. Off 95 days. Up in trip. Hard to fancy. No real promise at Redcar in May; needs to have learned plenty in the three months since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (16/1 +0%) Maywedance |
16/1(+0%) | (3) Maywedance 16/1, Foaled March 16. 40,000 gns foal, Mehmas filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 12.5f), closely related to smart winner up to 9f Latin Love. Worth a market check. 40,000gns foal; by Mehmas; dam unplaced at 1m-1m4f; may be more of a long-term prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/2 +63%) Star Cast |
9/2(+63%) | (5) Star Cast 9/2, Foaled February 12. Almanzor filly. Dam 7f/1m winner (including at 2 yrs). Should have enough pace for this sort of trip and is in good hands. Cheveley Park home-bred; by Almanzor; dam useful 7f/1m winner; yard won this race in 2018. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
As a daughter of Too Darn Hot, there is a lot to like about BASSADANZA on paper and she gets the vote to open her account at the first time of asking under a jockey operating at a 22 per cent strike-rate at Beverley this year. Related to numerous winners and a relatively costly sales purchase at 150,000gns, Fool Again is another newcomer to note, while Stiorra looks best of those with experience, despite not showing much on debut at Newbury.
The betting can help sort out these out, with FOOL AGAIN preferred over Star Cast before market clues.
The absence of Saqqara Sands appears to open the door for the newcomers and BASSADANZA gets the vote.

1st (1) (1/5 +30%) Amphius |
1/5(+30%) | (1) Amphius 1/5, Lightly-raced colt. Very good second of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Kempton (8f) 10 days ago. Sets a good standard. In frame all four starts; good second on handicap debut at Kempton; the clear pick on form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/1 -45%) Bamburgh |
4/1(-45%) | (2) Bamburgh 4/1, Promising individual. 10/1, third of 10 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) on debut 16 days ago. Should progress and looks the one most likely to make a race of it with Amphius. Shaped nicely when third at Salisbury, no extra after leading 2f out; open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (80/1 -60%) Delay |
80/1(-60%) | (4) Delay 80/1, Once-raced filly. Fourth of 5 in novice at Catterick (12.1f, firm, 20/1) on debut 12 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Under pressure from some way out when well-held fourth on debut; difficult to recommend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (28/1 +30%) Jannas Journey |
28/1(+30%) | (5) Jannas Journey 28/1, Sioux Nation filly. Half-sister to 5f-6f winner Zig Zag Zyggy and 7f-1½m winner Jaminoz. Yard also represented by fellow newcomer Krissy. Sioux Nation half-sister to two winners; may be more of a long-term prospect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
AMPHIUS lost little in defeat when runner-up behind a useful type on his handicap debut over a mile at Kempton and this looks to be a good opportunity for the so-far consistent son of Kingman to gain a breakthrough victory now returned to maiden company. Bamburgh shaped with plenty of promise when third at Salisbury and he must enter calculations with the promise of more to come. Cable Beach looks the pick of the remainder, but he will need to find significant improvement if he is to land the gold medal.
This represents a golden opportunity for AMPHIUS to open his account. The Kingman colt has made the frame on each of his four starts, most recently finding just one too good on his handicap debut at Kempton, and this drop to 7f will be no bad thing on this stiffer track. Bamburgh made a promising start to his career at Salisbury and is the clear pick for forecast purposes ahead of Cable Beach.
Bamburgh is respected after a pleasing debut at Salisbury but AMPHIUS sets quite a high standard and can get off the mark.

1st (6) (3/1 +25%) Zapphire |
3/1(+25%) | (6) Zapphire 3/1, Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 4/1) 31 days ago. Has been holding form well and enters calculations once more. Beaten a short head (C&D) and a nose on last two starts; should be in the shake-up again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (12/1 -20%) Monte Linas |
12/1(-20%) | (5) Monte Linas 12/1, 10/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 17 days ago. Could strip fitter for that and still has few miles on the clock. Two wins last season; satisfactory return (1m, AW) this month; should fare better today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 -33%) Boy Douglas |
12/1(-33%) | (4) Boy Douglas 12/1, Latest win at Ayr in June. Last of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago, missing break. Latest effort is best excused and he shouldn't be ruled out despite a wide draw. In good form this year until getting it wrong at the start last time; drawn wide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/2 +22%) Light Speed |
7/2(+22%) | (2) Light Speed 7/2, Much improved when winning 12-runner handicap (17/2) at Chester (7.6f, good) 35 days ago, soon clear. Remains with handicapping scope and can go well again. Back to form when coming from off the pace to win at Chester last month; 4lb rise fair. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (10/1 -11%) King Of Scotia |
10/1(-11%) | (3) King Of Scotia 10/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Newmarket in August. 14/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Should give his running again but handicapper might be catching up with him. Three wins this year & not handicapped out of things; lower draw would have been preferred. |

6th (10) (16/1 -33%) Cancan In The Rain |
16/1(-33%) | (10) Cancan In The Rain 16/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Ayr (8f, good to firm). Off 101 days. Others make more appeal. Down the field on his return in May; absent since; others look safer. |

15/2(+0%) | (11) Park Street 15/2, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap (11/4) at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Not completely discounted back at this track with a handy draw. Beat Zozimus to win this race 12 months ago; retains all his ability but below par latest. |

8th (1) (6/1 -20%) Zozimus |
6/1(-20%) | (1) Zozimus 6/1, Latest win at Pontefract in August. 15/8, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 7 days ago. One to consider. Conditions fine and he comes here at the top of his game; likely to be involved once again. |

9th (7) (18/1 +36%) Chuzzlewit |
18/1(+36%) | (7) Chuzzlewit 18/1, Sixteenth of 17 in handicap (18/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Back up in trip. Must improve on recent efforts. Struggled in good races since returned to turf; dropped 15lb and type to revive soon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (12/1 -33%) Arkenstaar |
12/1(-33%) | (9) Arkenstaar 12/1, 14/1, good 2 lengths second of 13 to Zozimus in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 13 days ago, no match for winner. Likeable type who should give his running once again. All wins at Hamilton but effective elsewhere; second to Zozimus latest; career best needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (50/1 -79%) Tobetso |
50/1(-79%) | (12) Tobetso 50/1, 14/1, last of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Has work to do. Inconsistent but on a good mark and the addition of blinkers could prompt extra. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LIGHT SPEED defied a wide draw when scoring with something in hand at Chester and another bold bid is forecast. A 4lb higher rating for that fourth career victory looks more than workable for Gemma Tutty's gelding, with the biggest threat expected to be mounted by Zapphire. The four-year-old arrives on the back of several creditable efforts in defeat and she should be in the thick of the action once more. Arkenstaar and Power Of Gold are also noted.
LIGHT SPEED showed his first form for this yard when forging clear to score at Chester last month and he remains well treated on his best efforts, so he gets the nod over the in-form Zozimus, with Zapphire also on the shortlist.
Several possibles, including last year's 1-2 Park Street and Zozimus, but LIGHT SPEED is preferred on the back of a Chester win.

5/1(+23%) | (3) Dr Rio 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 5/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good) 15 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Not one to write off. Easy 1m4f win here last month; fifth at Thirsk but can do better back here. |

3rd (1) (6/1 -100%) Bay Dream Believer |
6/1(-100%) | (1) Bay Dream Believer 6/1, Temperamental sort. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm, 15/2) 14 days ago by neck from Mr Jetman, keeping on gamely. Not certain to be in the same form. On a hat-trick after 1m2f wins this month; another prominent showing is likely. |

4th (2) (1/1 +60%) Mr Jetman |
1/1(+60%) | (2) Mr Jetman 1/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 4 days ago, not clear run. Still has few miles on the clock and makes plenty of appeal. In good form since returning from layoff, including second to Bay Dream Believer at Ripon. |

25/1(-108%) | (6) Pearly Star 25/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap at this course (7.4f, good to firm, 14/1) 17 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back up in trip. Not discounted. Best run since joining Mike Sowersby when third over 7.4f here latest; stays 1m2f. |

7th (9) (16/1 +0%) Coligone Kate |
16/1(+0%) | (9) Coligone Kate 16/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Good eighth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at this course (8.4f, good) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others make more appeal. Not beaten that far here last time but overall record is now 0-22. |

8th (5) (12/1 -118%) Whatwouldyouknow |
12/1(-118%) | (5) Whatwouldyouknow 12/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (8.4f, good) 16 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Only 2-30 on turf but has been performing with credit of late; should be in the mix again. |

9th (7) (150/1 -200%) Witchford |
150/1(-200%) | (7) Witchford 150/1, 80/1, first run since leaving Micky Hammond when last of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Up in trip. Hasn't beaten a rival in her three handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The hat-trick seeking Bay Dream Believer must enter calculations after proving triumphant at Leicester and Ripon earlier this month. Mark Walford's mare is sure to give another good account of herself off a 3lb higher rating, but MR JETMAN shades the verdict. The son of Territories would have undoubtedly finished closer than third at Ripon on Tuesday had he not been impeded in the closing stages and compensation could be imminent. Whatwouldyouknow may fare best of the remainder.
MR JETMAN hasn't been seen to best effect on his last two starts and, while this race comes on the back of a quick turnaround, he's worth a chance to open his account for the season. Bay Dream Believer, who got the better of the selection a fortnight ago, is an obvious danger, while a return to form is expected from This Years Love.
While WHATWOULDYOUKNOW hasn't been a regular winner on turf, he has been running with credit this summer and might prove the answer.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
