1st (6)  (20/1 -82%)Two Shoes |
20/1(-82%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Two Shoes 20/1, Foaled April 1. £12,000 yearling, 62,000 gns 2-y-o, Threat filly. Dam lightly raced out of winning half-sister to US Grade 2 9f winner Guilt Trip. Appealing newcomer. 62,000gns 2yo; trainer's first 2yo runner of season; may be one for further down the line. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/2 +65%)Cracking Man |
7/2(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cracking Man 7/2, €20,000 foal, £60,000 yearling, Unfortunately colt. Brother to useful 5f winner Looking For Lynda, from the family of very smart 7f-1m winner Peeress. 11/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at York (6f, soft) on debut 11 days ago, weakening. Entitled to improve. May be sharper for recent debut outing at York but well beaten and big step forward needed. |
|||
3rd (7)  (4/1 -100%)Kitten In The Sky |
4/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kitten In The Sky 4/1, €1,500 yearling, €33,000 2-y-o, Far Above filly. 11/1, green but a good second of 8 at Catterick (5f, good to soft) on debut 8 days ago. Can improve and leading claims on these terms. Runner-up on debut at Catterick last Tuesday and she's a leading contender today. |
|||
4th (8)  (50/1 -100%)Lunar Force |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lunar Force 50/1, Foaled March 11. 7,000 gns foal, £7,000 yearling, Land Force filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Reely Bonnie. Dam maiden half-sister to 1½m winner Moon In June out of smart 1m/9f winner Moon Dazzle. Half-sister to 6f winner (RPR 71); trainer's 2yos usually need their debut outings. |
|||
5th (4)  (150/1 -200%)Layaali |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Layaali 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 20 days ago. Down the field at big odds on both starts and she's hard to fancy. |
|||
6th (1)  (100/1 -3900%)Bantz |
100/1(-3900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bantz 100/1, Twice-raced colt. Much improved when second of 11 in maiden (11/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago. Should have more to offer and one to consider. Runner-up on AW on second start and could continue to progress for top Newmarket yard. |
|||
7th (3)  (40/1 -627%)Causin A Commotion |
40/1(-627%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Causin A Commotion 40/1, Foaled April 21. €20,000 yearling, Cotai Glory colt. Half-brother to 9f winner Garrison Commander and 1m winner Chimeric. In-form yard won this with the once-raced Washington Heights in 2022; interesting newcomer. |
|||
8th (5)  (33/1 -725%)Music History |
33/1(-725%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Music History 33/1, £38,000 yearling, Ardad filly. Sister to useful 5f/6f winner Clearpoint. 5/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) on debut 23 days ago. She's likely to improve. Fair fifth at Wetherby on debut; could get closer to the target this afternoon. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KITTEN IN THE SKY ran promisingly when second at Catterick on her racecourse debut eight days ago and is likely to be tough to deal with if she handles the forecast faster going and stiffer finish here. Bred for speed, the selection shades the vote over Bantz, who improved from his debut to fill the runner-up spot in a similar event at Wolverhampton latest. The newcomers look an ordinary bunch, so perhaps Music History can emerge as best of the remainder if building on her Wetherby debut.
KITTEN IN THE SKY made a bright start at Catterick last week and must be the call with improvement on the cards. Bantz should have more to offer, while Two Shoes and Causin A Commotion are appealing newcomers.
The filly KITTEN IN THE SKY made a promising start to her career when runner-up at Catterick last week and is taken to go one better.

1st (1)  (4/1 -167%)Bountiful |
4/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bountiful 4/1, 95,000 gns yearling, Zoustar filly out of a May Hill winner. Off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 39 days ago, still green and value a bit extra having been eased half a length late on. Second won next time and she has more to offer. Good shout under Buick. Readily made all at Thirsk on second start; open to further improvement now up to 6f. |
|||
2nd (3)  (150/1 -200%)Cugini |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cugini 150/1, Ninth of 14 in seller (50/1) at York (6f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago, very green. Lots to find. 50-1 when midfield in Rous seller at York on recent debut; lots of improvement is needed. |
|||
3rd (4)  (10/1 -733%)Megalithic |
10/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Megalithic 10/1, 220,000 gns Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to useful 1¼m winner Wonderful Times, from the family of very smart 7f winner Gustav Klimt. Very green in 5f Salisbury novice and the Woodcote at Epsom (nearest finish). Sure to improve and win races but longer trips will be his bag. Runner-up in the Woodcote on his second start and that form gives him a leading shout here. |
|||
4th (5)  (20/1 -82%)Shamal Wind |
20/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shamal Wind 20/1, Dubawi colt. Half-brother to several winners, including high-class winner up to 7f Dream of Dreams. 9/1, showed plenty behind an impressive all-the-way winner in 6f York maiden on debut 11 days ago. Will benefit from further than this but sure to improve. Fair fifth at York on recent debut; possible improver and trainer won this last year. |
|||
5th (2)  (100/1 -1900%)Cashlyn Cavalier |
100/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cashlyn Cavalier 100/1, Foaled April 7. €110,000 yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 6f winners Abama and Aasser. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to smart 6f winner Great Minds. Yard have a strong 2-y-o team and interesting he starts out in this valuable contest. Bred to be useful and represents top northern trainer; could go well on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Bountiful impressed when making all in a fillies' maiden at Thirsk last month and, with both the runner-up and third from that contest winning since, the form looks solid. However, MEGALITHIC chased home a potentially useful type when finishing second in the Woodcote at Epsom and the Ralph Beckett-trained colt shades preference based on the potential for more to come. Cashlyn Cavalier, a half-brother to four winners, is another notable debutant from the in-form Karl Burke yard to consider if supported in the betting.
A poor turnout for the money, with BOUNTIFUL taken to follow up her Thirsk victory. Megalithic looks a winner-in-waiting but faces much quicker conditions here and will be suited by longer trips, similar comments also applying to Shamal Wind.
Preference is for Thirsk winner BOUNTIFUL, who could have even more to offer now upped to 6f. Megalithic is a danger.

1st (11)  (9/4 +10%)Sea The Thunder |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sea The Thunder 9/4, With his reappearance run behind him, took a step forward when finding only a fellow improver too strong in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. The only 3-y-o in the line-up and he's a major player with further progress to come. Best form in 2nd of six at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) last time in his second handicap. |
|||
2nd (8)  (14/1 -133%)Ludo's Landing |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ludo's Landing 14/1, Gained reward for his consistency when recording a first win of the season at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 18 days ago. This is tougher back up in grade but he can give another good account. Very solid this year, winning at Beverley 18 days ago; also has a 2-2 record at Carlisle. |
|||
3rd (7)  (33/1 -50%)Thundering |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Thundering 33/1, Took advantage of his reduced mark at Ayr in September but hasn't gone on from that effort since, finishing well held in female amateur riders event at York (11.8f, soft, 17/2) on his latest outing. Others more persuasive. Showed his good side to score at Ayr last September and has a 4lb lower mark today. |
|||
4th (4)  (50/1 -900%)Born Ruler |
50/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Born Ruler 50/1, Successful twice in 2023 but has found one too good in all 3 starts this year, hanging badly right at Sandown (10f, good) on his latest outing. Could be thereabouts once more with cheekpieces now reached for. Three 2nds this term but repeatedly hung right at Sandown latest; cheekpieces are enlisted. |
|||
5th (10)  (16/1 -78%)Gibside |
16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Gibside 16/1, Confirmed the promise of his return when scoring at Catterick (13.9f, good to firm) early in the month, before running at least as well when third in female amateur riders event at York (11.8f, soft, 17/2) 11 days ago. Merits consideration. C&D winner; good third of 18 from off the pace in amateurs event at York on latest outing. |
|||
6th (5)  (40/1 -60%)Desert Emperor |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Desert Emperor 40/1, Runner-up 5 times in 2022 when trained by Ivan Furtado and, after 20 months off, shaped as if retaining ability when mid-field at Wetherby (10f, good to firm) 23 days ago. A while since his last win but he's been edging back down in the weights at least. Never involved when 40-1 on return this month, having missed 2023; market can guide again. |
|||
7th (3)  (50/1 -900%)Gallant Lion |
50/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gallant Lion 50/1, Racked up a 4-timer last summer for Tony Carroll and has been shaped up well for his current yard this season, denied a clear run from 2f out when fourth at Sandown (10f, good) 12 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Met trouble in running on the heels of Born Ruler at Sandown latest start; each-way chance. |
|||
8th (1)  (80/1 -1043%)Asgard's Captain |
80/1(-1043%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Asgard's Captain 80/1, Won twice in Ireland in 2023 and has kicked on again for his new yard, scoring 4 times on the all-weather early this year. Good efforts in defeat on his last 3 starts, third at Epsom (12f, good to soft) 25 days ago, so he's not dismissed lightly. Unraced on firmer than good; four AW wins this January-March and running well back on turf. |
|||
9th (2)  (100/1 -733%)Baryshnikov |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Baryshnikov 100/1, Ended lengthy losing run at Redcar (10f, soft) in May and unlucky not to finish closer on his last 2 starts, meeting trouble 3f out when fourth in female amateur riders event at York (11.8f, soft, 17/2) 11 days ago. Needs everything to drop right. Rarely seen beyond 10.4f but shaped as if he got 1m4f in amateurs race at York 11 days ago. |
|||
10th (6)  (66/1 -267%)Ravenscraig Castle |
66/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ravenscraig Castle 66/1, Tried over hurdles on his last 2 starts, shaping better in reapplied cheekpieces when second in a Kelso novice (16.2f, good to soft) a month ago. Back on the level in first-time blinkers as he bids for a first victory since 2021. Won here in 2021 and beaten a neck in this last year on his second visit; blinkers now. |
|||
11th (12)  (66/1 -164%)Ayr Poet |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Ayr Poet 66/1, Proved at least as good as ever when scoring at Ayr (8f, good to soft) in September, his third course success of 2023. Placed at the same track on his first 2 starts this season, before facing a stiff task back there 4 days ago. Others preferred. Latest start is easy to forgive but he's usually seen at up to 1m2f. |
|||
12th (9)  (80/1 -186%)Simple Star |
80/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Simple Star 80/1, Won three of his 5 starts last season and returned with a good second at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft) in April. However, has run poorly on his last 2 outings so he needs to get back on track. Close second on reappearance, which has been followed however by two heavy defeats. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Several have good chances, including Ludo's Landing, who got back to winning ways at Beverley last time out and rates a player off just 4lb higher. Gallant Lion has won under the in-form William Buick before and can also go well reunited that rider. Gibside and Born Ruler are others worth a mention, as each stays the trip well and represent shrewd operations, but preference is for the improving SEA THE THUNDER. The weight-for-age allowance makes him the most appealing option on just his third handicap start.
SEA THE THUNDER showed improved form when runner-up at Leicester on his latest outing, pulling well clear of the remainder, so he is taken to open his account with more still to offer on only his third handicap start. He can see off the challenge of Gallant Lion, who has been in good heart for Alan King this year, while Gibside could also be in the mix.
Plenty need respect but GIBSIDE gets the vote ahead of Ludo's Landing.

1st (1)  (13/8 -63%)Jabaara |
13/8(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jabaara 13/8, Highly tried as a 2-y-o following debut win and stepped up markedly on her reappearance when doubling tally in listed company at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago, well on top at the finish. Carries 3 lb penalty for that but very much the one to beat. Comfortably landed 7f Listed event at Musselburgh latest; she holds leading claims. |
|||
2nd (5)  (4/1 +33%)Key To Cotai |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Key To Cotai 4/1, Nottingham maiden winner (at 5f) who has continued the good work at 3 yrs, confirming the promise of her reappearance when landing a big-field handicap at Newmarket in May. Worth a shot at this level on the back of that. Bagged 7f Newmarket handicap in May; shouldn't be underestimated up in grade here. |
|||
3rd (4)  (50/1 -355%)Heritage House |
50/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Heritage House 50/1, Nursery winner who did well to hit the frame at huge odds in listed company on final start in November. Limitations exposed since and same scenario envisaged again. A fair 6f nursery winner but has found things tough campaigned in better company this term. |
|||
4th (8)  (66/1 -633%)Star Music |
66/1(-633%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Star Music 66/1, AW winner who posted a useful effort when third to Dance Sequence in Oh So Sharp last autumn. Last both starts in 2024, albeit they were the Fred Darling and the 1000 Guineas and she's since left Richard Hughes. Hood on and eased in class for new yard. Last in 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket; needs to bounce back for her new yard with hood added. |
|||
5th (7)  (50/1 -1011%)Navassa Island |
50/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Navassa Island 50/1, Maiden winner at the Curragh last season and fitted with blinkers for the first time, she looked in need of a stiffer test when a keeping-on third over 5.5f at Cork last month. Gets that here so she commands respect. Good third in Cork Listed event latest; can go well with longer trip promising to suit. |
|||
6th (9)  (125/1 +17%)Tierney |
125/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tierney 125/1, Fair form in nurseries, winning at Haydock in July. Probably needed the run on last month's reappearance but this looks a very tall order. Eighth in Newcastle handicap last month; should take step forward but this is a tough ask. |
|||
7th (3)  (100/1 -52%)Gaiety Musical |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gaiety Musical 100/1, Sent off 250/1 but displayed plenty of ability when second of 13 in maiden at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) on debut 22 days ago, no match for winner. Can improve but this a tough ask at this stage of her career. Promising debut second in Leicester maiden; this demands plenty more but open to progress. |
|||
8th (6)  (80/1 -700%)Lexington Belle |
80/1(-700%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lexington Belle 80/1, Won 3 nurseries last season but yet to make a significant impact in listed company, plugging on for fifth sent to Milan a month ago. Yet to hit top form this season, fifth in 7f Milan Listed contest last month; more needed. |
|||
9th (2)  (100/1 -809%)Ahlain |
100/1(-809%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ahlain 100/1, Has gained both wins over 7f at Kempton, latterly on handicap debut/reappearance in February. Form has levelled off since and she has to prove she can run up to her level on turf. Not disgraced when third in Kempton conditions in April; no forlorn hope after wind op. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
After some solid efforts in defeat in Group races last season, JABAARA showed that she retains plenty of ability when scoring comfortably in a Musselburgh Listed race over 7f latest. That form was given a timely boost with the third, Soprano, landing the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last week, and Roger Varian's filly looks well capable of bringing up a Pattern-race double here. Star Music was outclassed in the 1000 Guineas last month, but easing in grade on her stable debut, a revival is not out of the question. Navassa Island completes the shortlist with the step back in trip promising to suit.
A range of abilities on show with black type on offer and JABAARA will take some stopping, even under a 3 lb penalty, having recorded a recent win in this grade at Musselburgh. The return to 7f will suit Irish raider Navassa Island and she's feared, along with Key To Cotai.
Roger Varian's improving JABAARA holds the clear edge on form and she rates a confident choice to follow up her stylish Musselburgh win

(7)  (10/1 +0%)At Liberty |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) At Liberty 10/1, Has proved quite consistent for this yard and might have finished slightly closer had his rider not dropped the whip at Newmarket at the weekend. Should be on the premises. Comes here in good order, third at Newmarket only four days ago; in the mix once more. |
|||
(3)  (11/2 +0%)Island Native |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Island Native 11/2, Already a dual winner for this stable and has been knocking on the door again lately, second at Beverley last time. Drop back in tip unlikely to pose a problem but he may be taken on for the lead. Engaged 2.47 Beverley Tuesday. In good form, making all over a similar trip to today's at Beverley yesterday; penalised. |
|||
1st (1)  (8/1 +33%)Barley |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Barley 8/1, Losing run is mounting up and arrives on the back of a tame display at York 11 days ago, so hard to make a strong case for despite a sliding mark. It's now 14 starts since his last success and only 11th in 9f York handicap 11 days ago. |
|||
2nd (4)  (9/2 +18%)Garden Oasis |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Garden Oasis 9/2, Likeable front runner who backed up a win at Ripon in June with a solid third there 6 days ago. Faces a quick turnaround and likely to be pressured up front here. Won at Ripon before good third there six days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |
|||
3rd (10)  (13/2 -30%)Swift Salian |
13/2(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Swift Salian 13/2, Won at Doncaster in September but has yet to fire so far this term. Others make more appeal. Yet to fire in two runs this term so he needs to take a big step forward. |
|||
4th (2)  (8/1 -23%)Fools Rush In |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fools Rush In 8/1, On a reduced mark and hinted at a revival when fourth (despite meeting trouble) over C&D last time. Cheekpieces back on and deserves respect for all that he's on a long-losing run. Step back in right direction with C&D fourth nine days ago; he's one to consider. |
|||
5th (5)  (9/1 -13%)Blazing Son |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Blazing Son 9/1, Prominent racer who bounced back from an excusable run to capitalise on a handy mark at this course last time. Had the run of the race that day and may prove vulnerable on this occasion. Ended a losing sequence here 16 days ago; needs to back it up now from a 3lb higher mark. |
|||
6th (8)  (100/1 -1233%)Highwaygrey |
100/1(-1233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Highwaygrey 100/1, 4/1, good second of 13 in handicap at this course (9f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Has to be taken seriously from a potentially lenient mark. Signalled he was ready to strike again when second here 16 days ago; player nudged up 1lb. |
|||
7th (9)  (9/1 +18%)B Associates |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) B Associates 9/1, Enjoyed a productive season in 2023 and was back to form when scoring here in June. Failed to back that up at Ayr 4 days ago but remains fairly treated on his best efforts. Fourth course win before only sixth at Ayr four days ago; must enter calculations though. |

|PU| (6)  (100/1 -1567%)Star Shield |
100/1(-1567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Star Shield 100/1, Placed for the fifth time this season when second of 11 in handicap at Ripon on penultimate outing. Failed to back it up at Chester last time but little went right and he's still one to have in mind from this mark. In good form without winning this season; this veteran can make his presence felt again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FOOLS RUSH IN has performed with more credit than the bare result suggests on his last two visits to this venue, finishing a never-nearer fourth after running on well in the closing stages on both occasions. Off the same mark as for the most recent of those efforts, a bold showing looks imminent, especially with plenty of pace forecast in this line-up. Garden Oasis (first) narrowly got the better of Star Shield (second) when the pair met over a mile at Ripon recently, and the former can confirm his superiority over that rival here, whilst also giving the selection plenty to think about.
STAR SHIELD is on a good mark and has been shaping like he's ready to strike so, with a strong pace on the cards, this could be his day. Highwaygrey should give another good account and Garden Oasis can take a hand if he doesn't go off too hard.
Tim Easterby's HIGHWAYGREY looks primed for a bold showing on the back of a good recent second here so he gets the nod in an open race.

1st (4)  (8/1 +56%)Orbaan |
8/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Orbaan 8/1, Some time without a win but posted a couple of good efforts in defeats in big-field handicaps last year. Below form when twelfth of 14 in handicap at York (8.8f, soft) 11 days ago and others are preferred despite reduced mark. 9yo who has a regressive profile but showed spark three starts ago and is not written off. |
|||
2nd (5)  (16/1 -220%)Billyb |
16/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Billyb 16/1, Slipped in the weights for Ann Duffield last season and shaped very well on debut for this yard when fifth at York last month. Built on that effort when scoring in a 13-runner handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 18 days ago and should go close again from 4 lb higher mark. Did it cosily at Beverley last time, and back up 4lb he remains well treated on old form. |
|||
3rd (12)  (25/1 -233%)Mostawaa |
25/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Mostawaa 25/1, Endured an underwhelming spell in Meydan earlier this year but has slipped in the weights and went with more encouragement when third of 14 in handicap at York (8.8f, soft) 11 days ago. Frame claims from same mark. Won this last year off 5lb higher and returned to form with gallant third at York recently. |
|||
4th (2)  (80/1 -471%)Al Rufaa |
80/1(-471%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Al Rufaa 80/1, Exploited a reduced mark at Wolverhampton in November but has proved far too headstrong to land a telling blow this season, again giving his jockey a difficult time when sixth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (8f, soft, 12/1) 34 days ago. Others preferred. Went close at Wolverhampton in February but needs to better his recent turf form. |
|||
5th (15)  (33/1 -267%)Yaaser |
33/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Yaaser 33/1, Justified support to record a sixth career success at Southwell in September, and having edged back down the weights, caught the eye when third of 16 in handicap at York (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. High draw not ideal but can't be discounted on back of that with Buick up. Ran well when third of 16 at York 12 days ago and could be involved under William Buick. |
|||
6th (6)  (66/1 -1000%)On A Session |
66/1(-1000%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) On A Session 66/1, It's now fifteen runs since his last success in 2023 but did very well to go so close after being forced notably wide around the home bend when second of 8 in handicap at Chester (7f, good) 12 days ago. Entitled to be in the mix again. Kept on well to go close over 7f at Chester last time; could again be thereabouts. |
|||
7th (14)  (66/1 -371%)Lahab |
66/1(-371%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Lahab 66/1, Second at Newcastle in March and returned to form after a couple of lesser efforts when third of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Others strike as likelier winners, though. Back to form with 7f third ten days ago but this headstrong sort is inconsistent. |
|||
8th (16)  (22/1 -38%)Detective |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Detective 22/1, Five-time course winner ran well when second here on his penultimate outing. Only eleventh of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm) since and though blinkers go back on, others are preferred. Well beaten at Hamilton most recently but he's won five times at Carlisle; possible player. |
|||
9th (3)  (50/1 -150%)Dawn Of Liberation |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dawn Of Liberation 50/1, Winless since 2022 and wasn't beaten too far in first-time cheekpieces when sixth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 24 days ago. Others look on more attractive marks. Running well in the main for new yard but needs something extra to snap losing sequence. |
|||
10th (9)  (100/1 -809%)Leadenhall |
100/1(-809%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Leadenhall 100/1, Scored at Haydock last summer for Ralph Beckett and has posted a pair of creditable efforts since joining these connections, most recently when fifth of 16 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Has run well in defeat on both starts for new yard and might not be far away. |
|||
11th (17)  (100/1 -203%)Strongbowe |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Strongbowe 100/1, Fair handicapper at his best but hasn't yet beaten a rival in 3 starts this season. Not at his best this season but he likes this C&D and is below his last winning mark. |
|||
12th (8)  (80/1 -627%)Million Thanks |
80/1(-627%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Million Thanks 80/1, Ended a lengthy losing run from a career-low mark in an 11-runner handicap (13/2) at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Had plenty in hand there and remains low mileage for current yard, so entitled to respect again. Commanding winner at Pontefract and could still be well treated despite an 8lb rise. |
|||
13th (13)  (100/1 -355%)Maysong |
100/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Maysong 100/1, Placed twice on all-weather earlier in the year but hasn't posed as much of a threat on turf since, most recently when sixth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive. Hasn't really threatened of late but he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not discounted. |
|||
14th (10)  (80/1 -627%)Hale End |
80/1(-627%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hale End 80/1, Doubled his tally at Newcastle in January and proved at least as good as ever when scoring at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) last month, impressing with his strength at the finish returned to a shorter trip. 4 lb higher and looks sure to go well again. Got up close home in big field at Thirsk last month and a 4lb rise isn't harsh. |
|||
15th (11)  (80/1 -300%)John Chard Vc |
80/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) John Chard Vc 80/1, Produced his best effort of a light 2023 campaign when fourth in a big-field Goodwood handicap (1m, soft) in August. Left Clive Cox prior to his comeback tenth of 14 in handicap at York (8.8f, soft) 11 days ago and will likely need to improve to figure. Lightly raced 4yo who is on a handy mark; needs a sizeable step forward from comeback run. |
|||
16th (7)  (50/1 -150%)Rogue Sea |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rogue Sea 50/1, Failed to kick on after winning a Ripon novice last season and on debut for new yard, trailed home last of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Ripon (9.8f, soft) 27 days ago. Perhaps needed the outing there but others are preferred. Promising start to career last year but well beaten in all four handicaps. |
|||
17th (1)  (100/1 -456%)Redarna |
100/1(-456%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Redarna 100/1, Four-time course winner, with his latest success here last August. Has held form well in defeat so far this season, most recently when third of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago, but will need a bigger effort still to overcome high draw. Fair efforts in defeat this year and this 4-time course winner is below last winning mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BILLYB has returned in fine fettle this year, building on a pleasing comeback effort at York when scoring comfortably over an extended 7f at Beverley. A 4lb rise in the ratings is more than fair and, well drawn in stall four, he looks sure to play a leading role. Last year's winner Mostawaa arrives following a solid placed effort at York and is very much one to consider, with the talented Brandon Wilkie taking a handy 5lb off his back. On A Session warrants respect following his narrow defeat at Chester, while Million Thanks, Hale End and Yaaser are others to note.
A typically competitive Carlisle Bell, with BILLYB fancied to continue his pleasing start for the Craig Lidster yard by following up his Beverley success. On A Session did well to go so close after enduring a wide trip at Chester last time and rates as the biggest threat, with recent winners Million Thanks and Hale End also considered in a tricky heat.
There was lots to like about the way BILLYB (nap) won at Beverley and on his old form he remains well treated back up just 4lb.

(5)  (14/1 -133%)Gentle Ellen |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gentle Ellen 14/1, Ended last season on the up and shaped as though in need of the run when down the field on return at Beverley in May. Duly stepped up on that when keeping on into third at Leicester (6f, good) where she shaped as though the return to this trip would be no bad thing. Course winner; good third at Leicester latest; very much one to consider off same mark. |
|||
1st (4)  (7/4 +0%)Red Pixie |
7/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Red Pixie 7/4, Well-bred filly who has made the frame on each of her 3 starts, just touched off in a 6f Windsor novice (good to firm) earlier this month. Open to improvement back up in trip for this handicap debut and she's high on the shortlist. Neck second in Windsor novice latest; big shout now h'capping with return to 7f a plus. |
|||
2nd (8)  (15/2 -7%)Tayala |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tayala 15/2, Opened her account at Kempton (7f) in April and has performed with credit back on turf the last twice, latterly finding just one too good in a 10-runner Newbury handicap (1m, good to firm). Place possibilities. Reliable sort; good Newbury fourth 13 days ago so she must enter calculations once more. |
|||
3rd (9)  (10/1 -100%)Blufferonthebus |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Blufferonthebus 10/1, Off the mark over 6f at Pontefract in April and doubled her tally in a 1m handicap here (good to firm) last month. Latest near-miss over C&D (soft) was arguably her best effort yet and she has leading claims off the same mark. Good C&D second latest so this course scorer is firmy in the picture off the same mark. |
|||
4th (3)  (50/1 -257%)Albeseeingyer |
50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Albeseeingyer 50/1, Winner of final 3 starts of 2022 and continued the good work when bagging heavy-ground handicaps at Doncaster and Leicester on first 2 runs of a truncated campaign last year. Failed to build on reappearance spin back at Doncaster recently but she goes on fast ground and is 2-2 over this C&D. Only sixth at Doncaster (7f) ten days ago; she needs to get back on track. |
|||
5th (2)  (16/1 -60%)Sibyl Charm |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sibyl Charm 16/1, Successful 3 times in 6f/7f handicaps at Newcastle this year, the latest a narrow success off this mark in March. Not quite so good returned to turf the last twice, though, for all that there were mitigating circumstances at Ayr recently. Solid fifth at Ayr four days ago after stumbling start; she ought to be in the shake-up. |
|||
6th (1)  (22/1 -300%)Quandary |
22/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Quandary 22/1, Winner of a Pontefract novice during a light 2023 campaign and has been in good form in AW handicaps at up to 7f since the turn of the year, strong at the finish when third of 10 at Southwell (7f) last time. Major player off the same mark back on turf. Set plenty to do when third at Southwell in April; she can go well again after a break. |
|||
7th (6)  (100/1 -456%)Lokana |
100/1(-456%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lokana 100/1, Put her experience to good use to get off the mark after 8 months off in 10-runner maiden at Thirsk (7f, soft) in May. Wasn't disgraced switched to a handicap when third at Catterick later that month but she was beaten a long way upped to a mile at Sandown 11 days ago. Non-staying seventh in 1m Sandown handicap 11 days ago; in the mix now back in trip. |
|||
8th (7)  (50/1 -257%)Misemerald |
50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Misemerald 50/1, Landed maiden/novice events at Beverley/Ayr last summer and posted best effort of this season so far when fourth of 13 in a higher-grade handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft) 11 days ago. Not without each-way hope eased in class back on a stiffer track. Good fourth at Chester (7.5f) 11 days ago; she can't be discounted off her proper mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Sir Michael Stoute is two from three with his runners at Carlisle over the last five years and he appears to have another outstanding chance with RED PIXIE today. The Kingman filly has shaped with plenty of promise in three starts to date and she could exploit a lenient opening handicap mark of 79. Misemerald drops in class and should make her presence felt, while Tayala and Blufferonthebus are others to keep an eye on.
QUANDARY has been threatening to come good on the all-weather this year and she can deliver on that promise now returned to turf. Indeed, the 4-y-o is likely to benefit from the switch to a stiffer track and she remains on a workable mark. Blufferonthebus is proving consistent and is feared most ahead of handicap debutante Red Pixie and Gentle Ellen.
Sir Michael Stoute's Kingman filly RED PIXIE appeals as a likely improver now handicapping so can go one better than her Windsor second

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.
