(1) Deevious Beau 3.33/1, Losing run is mounting up but consistency hard to knock in recent months, placed on 6 of his 7 starts on AW prior to a good fifth in big-field Redcar handicap (6f) 17 days ago. Should make his presence felt again.

2nd (3) (3.33/1 -48%) So Grateful
3.33
3.33/1(-48%)
(3) So Grateful 3.33/1, 4-y-o who went agonisingly close to breaking his duck at Newcastle (6f) in October, headed on line. Ridden too aggressively when fifth at Redcar (6f) final start and worth considering from this mark on return. Visor replaces blinkers.

2
2/1(+33%)
(2) Kath's Toyboy 2/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 13 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 9 days ago, beaten only by a thriving sort and nicely clear of remainder. Clearly in good heart and booking of Simon Walker an obvious plus.

22/1(+12%)
(5) Moveonup 22/1, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in February. Below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 66/1) 9 days ago. Likely to face competition for the lead here.

7
7/1(+42%)
(7) Swiss Rowe 7/1, 9/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 57 days ago, the quick turnaround probably against him. Others rate stronger for win purposes.

7
7/1(-17%)
(4) Irish Times 7/1, 5-time course winner who ran best race for some time returned to this venue when just failing over 7f, 4 weeks ago. Remains below last winning mark and drop back to 6f will hold no fears.

16
16/1(+36%)
(6) Millicent 16/1, Maiden who offered little on the back of 8 months off when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 40/1) 10 days ago. Visor reached for now.

(1) Perfect Focus 2.5/1, Well-backed 7/2, first run since leaving Lee Carter when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago, left poorly placed and not unduly punished. Down in grade so he's very much one to consider.

10
10/1(+17%)
(7) Last Date 10/1, C&D winner. 12/1, did well under the circumstances given the hold he took when third of 6 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Can give another good account.

12
12/1(+0%)
(9) Makambe 12/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Probably remained in form when fourth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 47 days ago, every chance approaching final 1f. Not without hope.

(10) Magicinthemaking 14/1, C&D winner. 20/1, never dangerous when 8 lengths eighth of 12 to Inclement Weather in handicap at Kempton (7f) 29 days ago. Needs to bounce back but that's possible with Hollie Doyle back on board.

4
4/1(-14%)

8.5
8.5/1(-21%)
(8) Bernard Spierpoint 8.5/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in January. 11/4, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 84 days ago, going with little fluency (possibly unsuited by track). Can get back on track here after a 3-month break.
10
10th (10) (50/1 -100%) Ascot Jungle
50
50/1(-100%)
(10) Ascot Jungle 50/1, Possibly needed the run after 3 months off when 4 lengths sixth of 10 to Wings of A Dove in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 7 days ago. Hard to see her turning the tables with that rival.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(1) Sharpcliff 3.33/1, Did the job well when opening his account at Newcastle last June and followed up from a 9 lb higher mark at York a fortnight later. Up another 8 lb but is very much on the up so he's one to consider on reappearance.

1.25
1.25/1(+0%)
(3) Figures 1.25/1, Promising sort. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 6/4, showed much improved form to force a dead-heat up in grade at Kempton (11f) 54 days ago, rallying to grab share of spoils after headed last ½f. Leading claims with further improvement anticipated sent handicapping.

4
4/1(-33%)

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
