(9)  (28/1 -27%)Ziggy's Ariel |
28/1(-27%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ziggy's Ariel 28/1, €50,000 Breeze-Up buy who showed a bit on debut at Newmarket (6f) a fortnight ago, racing freely and keeping on again final furlong. Likely to improve. Easy to back when fourth (beaten almost 7l) in a 6f Newmarket maiden; drawn wide here. |
|||
1st (7)  (5/6 +70%)Brighton Boy |
5/6(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Brighton Boy 5/6, Knew more than on his Leicester debut (good form) at Salisbury but still displayed a severe bout of inexperience under firmer pressure, hanging badly left approaching final 1f and going down narrowly. Yard do well here and he has a big shout if proving straighter. Only just denied at Salisbury (6f novice; good to firm) last time; probably more to come.. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/1 -150%)Qaseem |
10/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Qaseem 10/1, £60,000 Breeze-Up buy who has made a promising start, still in need of experience when close second at Redcar 3 weeks ago. Can progress further. Narrowly beaten at Redcar (6f, gd/firm); slower ground and a different test here; player.. |
|||
3rd (5)  (33/1 +18%)Sir David |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sir David 33/1, Foaled May 3. €58,000 yearling, Mehmas gelding. Half-brother to French 2-y-o 7f-9f winner Olympe Mancini. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), sister to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Shaden. Cost a bit and interesting to see any market support. 58,000euros yearling; third foal from a maiden sister to a 6f Group 3 juvenile winner.. |
|||
4th (8)  (250/1 -1289%)Top Juggler |
250/1(-1289%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Top Juggler 250/1, Foaled February 22. 34,000 gns yearling, Bungle Inthejungle colt. Closely related to useful 5f winner Rebecca Rocks, and half-brother to useful winner up to 5.5f Rolfe Rembrandt and 6f winner Dear Daphne. Interesting newcomer. 34,000gns yearling; ninth foal from a speedy Italian Listed winner; merits a market check.. |
|||
5th (3)  (100/1 -1329%)Groundsman |
100/1(-1329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Groundsman 100/1, 62,000 gns Acclamation colt. Attracted support and showed ability alongside obvious inexperience when beaten 4¼ lengths by The Flying Seagull in C&D maiden on recent debut. Should improve. Work to do with The Flying Seagull; experience, draw, and weights turnaround offers hope.. |
|||
6th (1)  (80/1 -4471%)The Flying Seagull |
80/1(-4471%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Flying Seagull 80/1, Has taken well to this track, improving plenty from his previous second here when bolting up from the front in C&D maiden a fortnight ago. Strong claims under a penalty. Carries a penalty for a comfortable all-the-way C&D win (evens fav); sets the benchmark.. |
|||
7th (6)  (350/1 -1300%)Style King |
350/1(-1300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Style King 350/1, Showed a bit on debut at Salisbury but well held fitted with hood at Kempton next time. More needed. Failed to shine in either of first two appearances; others far more appealing at present.. |
|||
8th (2)  (350/1 -5285%)Equalised |
350/1(-5285%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Equalised 350/1, Left debut form well behind when fourth in useful-looking 6f Kempton maiden 16 days ago (nearest finish). Should win races. Took a nice step forward when a keeping-on fourth at Kempton (6f AW); nurseries await.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The Flying Seagull boasts the advantage of course form having got off the mark on his latest start and Hugo Palmer's colt has to enter calculations, despite giving away a penalty to the opposition. The vote, though, goes to BRIGHTON BOY, who stepped forward from his debut when runner-up at Salisbury. Andrew Balding's colt hung left on that occasion, but that may not be as much of an issue if proving able to grab the rail from a good draw. Qaseem completes the shortlist.
THE FLYING SEAGULL made all in good style here a fortnight ago and is taken to follow up under a penalty. Brighton Boy and Equalised both have races in them and are feared most in a pretty open maiden.
After bumping into an improver at Redcar, QASEEM may make a breakthrough by edging out the C&D winner The Flying Seagull.

(6)  (11/1 -175%)Greek Gift |
11/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Greek Gift 11/1, Relished step up in trip and much improved when winning 7-runner nursery at Carlisle (6.9f, good) 6 days ago. Carries penalty but expected to be bang there again. Big step forward on nursery debut when scoring at Carlisle; not taken lightly with 6lb pen. |
|||
1st (4)  (6/1 -20%)Dukes Of Haather |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dukes Of Haather 6/1, Displayed promise first 2 starts and improved as expected in line with step up in trip when third of 12 in novice event at Newmarket (6f, good, 16/1). Had to wait for a gap when third only in a C&D seller a month ago. Blinkers reached for. Proving a consistent sort; one for the shortlist now going into nurseries with blinkers on. |
|||
2nd (2)  (15/2 -150%)Moon Sniper |
15/2(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Moon Sniper 15/2, Excellent runner-up effort at Sandown on second start. 125/1, 17¼ lengths eleventh of 15 to Bedtime Story in Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Makes handicap debut from a very fair mark and this a far more suitable assignment. Not disgraced when 11th in Chesham at Royal Ascot; enters calculations now h'capping. |
|||
3rd (5)  (11/1 +21%)Camden Flyer |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Camden Flyer 11/1, Modest form at best in her qualifying runs, sixth of 9 in novice event at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) 16 days ago. Makes nursery debut for excellent yard but mark demands more. Improving steadily, sixth at Ffos Las latest; can make her presence felt now in nurseries. |
|||
4th (3)  (7/2 +30%)Anthropologist |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Anthropologist 7/2, Similar form all 3 starts, seventh of 12 in minor event (6/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 56 days ago. Makes handicap debut and must improve, but stall 1 likely to help his cause. Solid seventh in Newmarket novice in May; considered after a break on his handicap debut. |
|||
5th (7)  (33/1 -65%)Under The Sea |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Under The Sea 33/1, Showed a bit amidst greenness when 2¼ lengths third of 7 in claimer at Fontainebleau, racing handy and not knocked about under pressure. Raced wide when disappointing at Pontefract next time and again well held at Bath. Up in trip for nursery debut. Last in Bath maiden last month; big step forward needed on his first go in handicaps. |
|||
6th (1)  (250/1 -11011%)Megalithic |
250/1(-11011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Megalithic 250/1, 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). Also not seen to best effect at Carlisle and 7f sure to suit now handicapping. Shaped well all three runs; longer trip promises to suit so big shout on nursery debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DUKES OF HAATHER was presented with a golden opportunity to shed his maiden tag when suffering interference in a C&D seller last month. Now sporting blinkers for the first time on his nursery bow, he has every chance of making amends. Megalithic's second at Epsom arguably sets the standard, even if he underperformed subsequently at Newbury. The extra furlong should be in his favour, while Moon Sniper is likely to find this grade more to his liking after struggling in the Chesham at Royal Ascot.
MEGALITHIC looked a work-in-progress in his qualifying runs and the combination of 7f and the switch to a nursery is expected to elicit an improved showing. Moon Sniper is back in much calmer waters and is a definite threat from stall 2, with Sunday's Carlisle winner Greek Gift also of interest.
Ralph Beckett's MEGALITHIC looks to have more to offer now he steps into nursery company with his stamina drawn out more so gets the nod

1st (1)  (10/1 -186%)Hyperfocus |
10/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hyperfocus 10/1, Veteran who bounced back to form eased in grade/returned to testing ground when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (6.1f, heavy) 27 days ago. Drop in trip won't inconvenience him and respected nudged up 2 lb. Bounced back to form with 6f win here, making all; up 2lb but not taken lightly. |
|||
2nd (3)  (5/2 -25%)Dickieburd |
5/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dickieburd 5/2, Course winner who tasted success twice last season and quickly dispelled a lesser effort when runner-up over 5f here on his penultimate start in June. Respectable fifth from a wide draw back at 6f here 13 days ago and he's fallen back down to his last winning mark. Course winner who returns here in good nick; he can go well off a 1lb lower mark. |
|||
3rd (2)  (7/2 +0%)Danger Alert |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Danger Alert 7/2, Course winner last season who produced one of his most encouraging efforts for present stable when fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f) 18 days ago, not clear run over 1f out before keeping on. Dropped to a handy mark and he's one to bear in mind. Course winner; not clear run when fourth at Windsor latest; merits serious consideration. |
|||
4th (6)  (9/1 -64%)Reigning Profit |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Reigning Profit 9/1, Revived by refitting of a visor when successful at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in January. Plenty of solid efforts in defeat since, including when second of 6 in handicap back at that venue (5.1f) 11 days ago. Returns to turf operating from a workable mark. Good second in 5f Wolver h'cap 11 days ago; he's one for the shortlist. |
|||
5th (4)  (300/1 -8909%)Coup De Force |
300/1(-8909%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Coup De Force 300/1, Held form well during 2023 and ran right up to her best in trio of starts on turf since the spring, second of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, no match for winner. Likely she'll give another good account for all her mark looks about right. Reliable sort who posted a good second at Windsor latest; must enter calculations. |
|||
6th (5)  (350/1 -775%)Rogue Thunder |
350/1(-775%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rogue Thunder 350/1, Winner at Chelmsford City (7f) for Tom Clover in November but proved more miss than hit subsequently, proving too free on turf/stable debut (changed hands for 4,200 gns) when last of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7f) 62 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Too free when last on turf/yard debut at Haydock in May; much more is needed after a break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
COUP DE FORCE has been knocking on the door this season at Windsor and the five-year-old may have been found a suitable opportunity to get her head back in front. Dickieburd's recent efforts at this track would entitle him to a place on the shortlist, especially dropping in grade, while Hyperfocus isn't handicapped out of things being just 2lb higher than his victory here over 6f last month.
DICKIEBURD arrives having run well on each of his last 2 starts in course handicaps, latterly when fifth from a tricky draw, and he could be worth siding with to resume winning ways back on his last winning mark. Danger Alert caught the eye at Windsor last time and he's a threat. Veteran Hyperfocus is a player with a repeat of his performance that saw him come out on top over 6f here 4 weeks ago.
George Baker's DANGER ALERT (nap) is taken to build on his eye-catching Windsor fourth and resume winning ways in this open sprint

12/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gloucestershire 12/1, Off 10 months and shaped encouragingly on his sole run for Richard Hannon when third of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 54 days ago. Back with former yard and in the mix. Third at Newmarket on sole run for Richard Hannon; considered now back with former stable. |
|||
(7)  (22/1 -57%)Tele Red |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tele Red 22/1, Resumed from 8 months off with a promising second of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 11 days ago. Up in trip and needs considering. Returned from eight months off with encouraging Pontefract second; well in the mix. |
|||
1st (9)  (10/1 -11%)Grey Cuban |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Grey Cuban 10/1, Got off the mark at Wolverhampton in April but only ninth of 12 in handicap at Royal Ascot (10f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Hood on 1st time with more needed. Ninth at Royal Ascot 20 days ago; appeals as sort to bounce back though with hood added. |
|||
2nd (4)  (15/2 +6%)Dream Harder |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dream Harder 15/2, Took this 12 months ago and posted a solid fifth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 5 days ago when left with a lot to do. Can go well with cheekpieces added. Took this a year ago; not discredited when fifth at Chelmsford latest; can go well again. |
|||
3rd (6)  (7/1 -40%)Qitaal |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Qitaal 7/1, Started 2024 with 10f Doncaster success and largely in good form since, fifth of 7 at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Proving a reliable sort since scoring at Doncaster (1m2f) in March; shortlisted. |
|||
4th (5)  (14/1 -56%)Bodorgan |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bodorgan 14/1, Back to winning ways at Windsor in June and followed it with a good second of 6 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, firm) 20 days ago. Considered once more. Won at Windsor and good Haydock second later in June; ought to be in the shake-up up 1lb. |
|||
5th (1)  (50/1 -257%)Arthur's Realm |
50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Arthur's Realm 50/1, Bagged his second win of 2024 at Redcar in May but only ninth of 17 in handicap (20/1) at York (10.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Only ninth in 1m2f York handicap four weeks ago; he needs to get back on track. |
|||
6th (8)  (350/1 -18517%)So Deuce |
350/1(-18517%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) So Deuce 350/1, Improving Lope De Vega colt who easily got off the mark in 13-runner maiden at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft, evens) 38 days ago. Has more to offer stepping up in trip for his handicap debut. Big shout. Easily won Leicester maiden latest; sort to go on improving; big player on handicap debut. |
|||
7th (3)  (100/1 -733%)Old Harrovian |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Old Harrovian 100/1, Looked useful when a dual 12f winner in 2023 but yet to fire this term, only thirteenth of 17 in handicap (18/1) at York (10.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Well below par since returning from a long absence in handicaps at Kempton/York this term. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
SO DEUCE impressed with a ready success in a maiden at Leicester and, armed with the weight-for-age allowance, Roger Varian's son of Lope De Vega has a strong chance of making a winning start to his handicap career. Gloucestershire is another interesting contender on his first start back with Martyn Meade, while Bodorgan also holds solid form claims and can go well, assuming he can negotiate a route through from his wide draw.
SO DEUCE looks to start life in handicaps on an attractive mark so is fancied to follow up his easy breakthrough Leicester maiden success. Last year's victor Dream Harder should ensure Roger Varian's Lope De Vega colt doesn't have things all his own way however. Tele Red and Gloucestershire also look ready to step forward and should be in the mix in a competitive handicap.
Roger Varian's SO DEUCE readily got off the mark at Leicester and can follow up now up in trip on his handicap debut.

1st (7)  (9/1 -13%)Transitioning |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Transitioning 9/1, Good pedigree and made a winning start to his career in a 6-runner maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in May. Hasn't gone on from that, his latest effort at Nemarket particularly disconcerting, so has something to prove. Debut winner; bombed on fast ground at Newmarket (1m; h'cap debut); questions to answer.. |
|||
2nd (5)  (17/2 -183%)Evocative Spark |
17/2(-183%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Evocative Spark 17/2, Lurks on a handy mark and placed on his last 4 starts, runner-up at Haydock on latest. Goes well at this track and makes plenty of appeal. Chester regular (form 1941833); feasible mark and performing consistently in recent weeks.. |
|||
3rd (6)  (22/1 -38%)Touchwood |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Touchwood 22/1, Improved when successful over C&D in June and, while not in the same form at Beverley next time, he's hard to completely rule out. Prevailed in final strides over C&D (Class 5, from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; soft?. |
|||
4th (4)  (100/1 -4900%)Native King |
100/1(-4900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Native King 100/1, First run since leaving George Boughey when career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 17/2) 28 days ago, avoiding some of the interference but coming from a long way back in a short space of time. That form is working out and he's worth a chance to follow up. C&D winner on first start for Hugo Palmer; strong credentials despite 6lb rise.. |
|||
5th (2)  (12/1 -33%)Racingbreaks Ryder |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Racingbreaks Ryder 12/1, Form tailed off after a very promising start in handicaps last season but took a sizable step forward on first 2 starts this term. Latest effort was underhwelming, though. Encouraging fourth-placed finish at Goodwood (7f) was followed by another backward step.. |
|||
6th (1)  (100/1 -2757%)Society Lion |
100/1(-2757%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Society Lion 100/1, Won 11-runner handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to soft, 18/1) 26 days ago. Thriving at the moment and deserves plenty of respect in the hat-trick bid. Raised a combined total of 9lb for back-to-back wins at Yarmouth (7f) and Doncaster (1m).. |
|||
7th (3)  (100/1 -1329%)Spioradalta |
100/1(-1329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Spioradalta 100/1, Well suited by the strong gallop and justified good support when successful over 7.6f here last season. Has generally been holding his form this season and easing ground will help. Last year's winner (same mark); keeping-on fourth (beaten 3l) over 7f here last month.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
NATIVE KING overcame a wider draw when he scored comfortably over this C&D last month and, open to any amount of improvement on just his second start in a handicap/second run for Hugo Palmer, a 6lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent the three-year-old from following up. Elder horses Evocative Spark and Spioradalta also boast winning form at this unique track and they are feared most.
NATIVE KING swept past the whole field when scoring over C&D on his debut for this yard and the form is looking strong, so he gets the nod over Society Lion, who is chasing a hat-trick. Spioradalta also comes into the reckoning with the softer conditions in his favour.
This features some Chester regulars, including 2023 winner Spioradalta. However, the improving 3yo NATIVE KING is a confident pick.

(3)  (14/1 -17%)Ultramarine |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ultramarine 14/1, Respectable strike rate on the AW (4-15) but it's a different story in terms of his turf exploits (0-19) and he has hardly been shaping as though his turn is near of late. Visored first time. Yet to win on turf (0-19); down the field at Newbury (7f) last time; newly applied visor.. |
|||
(12)  (18/1 -13%)White Mist |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) White Mist 18/1, Won twice on AW in February. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 7/1) 18 days ago. Late headway when fifth of eight at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time; soft ground risk. |
|||
1st (6)  (15/2 +17%)American Star |
15/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) American Star 15/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago, never nearer. Dangerously well handicapped. No win since Sept 2021; the reasons to be positive are 7f, easing mark, suitable ground.. |
|||
2nd (8)  (25/1 +0%)Rosenpur |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Rosenpur 25/1, Fair form. 80/1, 1¾ lengths seventh of 10 to Berkshire Phantom in handicap at this course (7.6f, good) 28 days ago. Stall 13 far from ideal. Maiden (0-8); has work to do to reverse last-time placings with Berkshire Phantom.. |

3rd (9)  (10/1 +29%)Danzart |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Danzart 10/1, Shaped as if probably still in form when seventh of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 9/1) 18 days ago, fading after racing too freely. Each-way claims. Runner-up on two occasions earlier this year; probably requires a fraction more to score.. |

4th (13)  (200/1 -506%)Red Walls |
200/1(-506%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Red Walls 200/1, Three wins from 15 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 10/1, eighth of 10 in classified event at Wolverhampton (7f) 12 days ago.

5th (11)  (50/1 -1011%)Master Franca |
50/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Master Franca 50/1, Blinkered first time, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at this course (6f, good) 28 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Merits consideration. Lingfield nursery winner (7f AW) last Oct; no signs of progress yet this year; easing mark. |
|||
6th (5)  (80/1 -471%)Zu Run |
80/1(-471%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Zu Run 80/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022 and hasn't obviously been shaping as if he's ready to exploit his reduced mark. Little impact, falling 12lb in the weights, in better-grade handicaps for Mark Loughnane.. |
|||
7th (2)  (22/1 -10%)Ugo Gregory |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ugo Gregory 22/1, A stable stalwart over the years but down the field on Beverley reappearance 34 days ago. Draw not ideal. Probably best watched. Beverley specialist; could strip fitter for recent comeback run; wide draw unhelpful.. |
|||
8th (4)  (7/1 -75%)Chalk Mountain |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chalk Mountain 7/1, In good form on AW last autumn. Has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance. Player from a handy draw if fully primed after 8 months off. Wind surgery since latest AW appearance (November 2023); monitor only on return to action.. |
|||
9th (14)  (400/1 -1112%)Independent Beauty |
400/1(-1112%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Independent Beauty 400/1, Remains a maiden after 36 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 40/1) 14 days ago. Maiden (0-36); third start since wind surgery; races from out of the handicap.. |
|||
10th (1)  (100/1 -4344%)Berkshire Phantom |
100/1(-4344%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Berkshire Phantom 100/1, Three wins from 8 runs this year, the latest over 7.6f here 28 days ago. A 2 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing. 7.5f course winner (from a 2lb lower mark) last month; wide draw in stall 10 isn't ideal.. |
|||
11th (10)  (66/1 -450%)Professor Tickle |
66/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Professor Tickle 66/1, AW winner in December. Minus usual blinkers when below par on Ffos Las reappearance and the headgear is missing again. Dropped out tamely on return from a six-month absence at Ffos Las (6f, good to soft).. |
|||
12th (7)  (300/1 -809%)El Hibri |
300/1(-809%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) El Hibri 300/1, Three wins from 11 runs this year, the latest at Chelmsford in May. 28/1, sixth of 8 in C&D handicap (good) 28 days ago. Drawn widest. Form levels have dipped since winning on the AW at Chelmsford (6f; from 3lb lower) in May.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BERKSHIRE PHANTOM had a more attractive draw when he won over an extended 7f here last month but given he was forced to switch to the centre when coming with his challenge that day, a berth in stall 10 might not be such a hinderance if he can deliver a similar power-packed finish off just 2lb higher. Chalk Mountain is one to monitor in the betting market back on turf and having undergone wind surgery since last seen, while Danzart appeals for a place.
BERKSHIRE PHANTOM is in the winning habit this year and might be able to add to last month's course success. Chalk Mountain was in good form when last seen and, from a handy draw, might provide the chief threat if ready to roll after an 8-month lay-off. American Star is down to a mark he really ought to be making an impact from and also makes the shortlist.
A wide draw is a negative for Berkshire Phantom and American Star, so a chance is taken on Hugo Palmer's MASTER FRANCA instead.

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.
