(7)  (25/1 -79%)Hugo's Girl |
25/1(-79%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hugo's Girl 25/1, Twice-raced filly. 7/1, third of 10 in maiden at Naas (5f, good) 15 days ago. Ought to pick up a race sooner rather than later but she lacks the potential star quality of some of these. Close 100-1 4th on debut and showed that was no fluke with 3rd since; each-way squeak. |
|||
(11)  (28/1 -12%)Red Veil |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Red Veil 28/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 12 in maiden (18/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) on debut 27 days ago. Probably more one for nurseries in due course. Slowly away and green when 6th on last month's debut at Naas; may need more time. |
|||
1st (6)  (2/1 -23%)Heavens Gate |
2/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Heavens Gate 2/1, Promising individual. 4/1, second of 11 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Open to improvement for powerful connections and she holds a Group 2 entry. Only beaten half a length on debut; may need further but should be in the mix. |
|||
2nd (8)  (9/1 -6%)January |
9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) January 9/1, Foaled April 10. Kingman filly. Dam, winner up to 1m (Boomerang Stakes, 2-y-o 7f winner and third in Sussex Stakes), out of half-sister to high-class winner up to 1m Landseer. No shortage of appeal on paper, albeit Ryan Moore prefers her once-raced stablemate Heavens Gate. Kingman filly; dam Group 2 winner over further; may need a longer trip; second-string. |
|||
3rd (5)  (8/1 +50%)Grande Marques |
8/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Grande Marques 8/1, Foaled February 22. Starspangledbanner filly. Sister to useful winner up to US 9f Bubbles On Ice and 1m winner Fizzical and half-sister to several winners, including US 1m winner Optimism And Hope. Yard can ready a newcomer and this filly is one to note in the betting. Starspangledbanner filly; sister to a couple of 1m winners; may want a bit further. |
|||
4th (2)  (10/1 -11%)And So To Bed |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) And So To Bed 10/1, Foaled February 22. 85,000 gns yearling, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Kidmenever and winner up to 1m Now The King. Dam unraced. Top yard 3-10 with 2-y-os on turf so far this season and this likely-looking type holds an entry in the Airlie Stud Stakes. Kodiac filly; 85,000gns yearling; yard have good strike-rate with their 2yos on turf. |
|||
5th (10)  (12/1 -20%)Queens Fury |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Queens Fury 12/1, Once-raced filly. 15/2, third of 5 in minor event at Naas (5f, good to firm) on debut 7 days ago, not knocked about. Progress should be forthcoming from this filly, who holds a couple of notable entries. Green when 3rd of 5 on debut last week; sizeable step forward needed for win purposes. |
|||
6th (9)  (20/1 +9%)Marys Not Contrary |
20/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Marys Not Contrary 20/1, Foaled April 7. 28,000 gns foal, €62,000 yearling, Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to Italian winner up to 11f Sunset Lover. Dam Italian maiden half-sister to smart 7f-1½m winner Orpello. Good deal of appeal on paper but Cold Hearted is clearly the stable first-string. Havana Grey filly; cost 62,000eur yearling; yard have stronger claims with Cold Hearted. |
|||
7th (12)  (125/1 -89%)Roaming Eyes |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Roaming Eyes 125/1, Foaled April 5. Holy Roman Emperor filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 9.7f/1¼m winner Encapsulation and useful 12.5f winner Tashi. Wears hood. Entitled to come on for the run. This test may be too sharp and hood for debut probably not a good sign. |
|||
8th (3)  (7/4 +36%)Cold Hearted |
7/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cold Hearted 7/4, Promising sort. Third of 12 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, soft, 14/1) on debut 27 days ago, best work finish. Will be more street-wise this time and big shout for the yard that landed this with subsequent Group 1 winner Albigna in 2019. Blue Point filly; well bred and behind 2 rivals that finished 1-2 in Gr 3; should go well. |
|||
9th (13)  (33/1 -83%)Twinkling Toes |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Twinkling Toes 33/1, Once-raced filly. 25/1, third of 9 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good) on debut 15 days ago, never nearer. Likely to pick up a race of two on that evidence but she's up against some very promising types here. Beaten 3l when 3rd in a Naas maiden; needs to settle better this time. |
|||
10th (4)  (66/1 +18%)Far At Sea |
66/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Far At Sea 66/1, Once-raced filly. 8/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at this course (5f, heavy) on debut 69 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Only 8-1 for her debut here but was beaten 13l and others hold stronger claims. |
|||
11th (1)  (66/1 +18%)Al Rojo Vivo |
66/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Al Rojo Vivo 66/1, Foaled March 31. Phoenix of Spain filly. Dam unraced out of useful winner up to 9.5f (2-y-o 7f winner) I'm Yours, herself daughter of Tattersalls Gold Cup winner Rebelline. Probably best watched on debut. Phoenix Of Spain filly with some speed in her pedigree and yard do well with sprinters. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
COLD HEARTED made a pleasing debut when third to Sparkling Sea and Fairy Godmother over a similar trip at Naas last month. The form of that race has been working out well since and the Jessica Harrington yard continues in great form. Heavens Gate is an obvious threat having also shaped well on debut when runner-up to the well-backed Unexpected Issues at Navan, while Queens Fury and Twinkling Toes also made promising debuts. And So To Bed is a Kodiac half-sister to three juvenile winners from a stable with a good line on juvenile form, while Grande Marques is by Starspangledbanner and from a family which connections have enjoyed plenty of success with.
This maiden has been won by some smart types over the years and COLD HEARTED is taken to add her name to the roll of honour before going on to better things herself. The two that beat her at Naas last month subsequently fought out the finish of a Group 3 contest, so the form looks strong. Heavens Gate shaped like a ready-made future winner when going down narrowly on her introduction at Navan and she is feared most ahead of Queens Fury and newcomer And So To Bed.
This could be a good chance for COLD HEARTED who chased home two well bred sorts who finished 1-2 in a Group 3 subsequently

1st (9)  (10/1 -67%)Zaynab |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Zaynab 10/1, Twice-raced winner. Won 18-runner maiden (10/1) at this course (7f, heavy) 36 days ago. More needed now switched to handicap company but she's anything but exposed. Built on promising debut to land 7f (heavy) maiden last month here; very different ground. |
|||
2nd (4)  (5/1 -43%)Flight Of Fancy |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Flight Of Fancy 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/3, 2½ lengths fourth of 5 to Sea The Boss in Blue Wind Stakes at Naas (10.4f, good) 15 days ago. Back down in trip and she can be expected to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap. Promise in each of her 3 runs; not certain to appreciate a mile but well bred. |
|||
3rd (1)  (15/2 +25%)Asian Daze |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Asian Daze 15/2, 9/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (7f, soft) 20 days ago by 3½ lengths from Sluice, kept up to work. Raised 10 lb but she's now 2-2 in handicaps and another bold should could be on the way. Took form to new level, bolting up on return (7f); 10lb rise to cope with and fast ground. |
|||
4th (11)  (16/1 +11%)September Leaves |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) September Leaves 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1 and visored for 1st time, fifth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (8f). Off 6 months ahead of this handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Promise in each of her 3 runs incl' at 1m latest and fair mark but lacks a recent run. |
|||
5th (5)  (13/2 -18%)Sluice |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sluice 13/2, Lightly-raced winner. 10/3, good 3½ lengths second of 10 to Asian Daze in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Now 10 lb better off with the winner, so she can be expected to finish closer this time. Won maiden last term; 2 promising runs this season; shaped like she would relish 1m latest. |
|||
6th (10)  (13/2 +19%)Evening Blossom |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Evening Blossom 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/4, third of 8 in maiden at Cork (10.2f, good) 16 days ago. Down in trip for this handicap debut and her best days are almost certainly still ahead of her. Placed in each of her three runs so far; beaten fav last 2 runs; 1m not sure to suit. |
|||
7th (3)  (10/1 +38%)Cheeky Wink |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cheeky Wink 10/1, Thrice-raced winner. 3¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Wendla in Cornelscourt Stakes (33/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm) 14 days ago, better placed than most. Improvement needed on this handicap debut. Winning return in a maiden at Gowran; 4l defeat in Gr 3 since; tough opening mark. |
|||
8th (6)  (18/1 +10%)Profit Refused |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Profit Refused 18/1, Lightly-raced winner. 22/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. Consistent in 4 runs incl' maiden win but beaten 5l on h'cap debut latest; mark looks high. |
|||
9th (2)  (12/1 +33%)Snellen |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Snellen 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 27 days ago. Probably in the handicapper's grip for now. Won first 2 starts incl' Chesham but hasn't kicked on and hard to recommend. |
|||
10th (8)  (100/1 -52%)Lia Fail |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lia Fail 100/1, 100/1, 13¼ lengths twelfth of 13 to Cherry Blossom in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip and chances are she'll come up short once again. Won 3 as a juvenile but concern she hasn't trained on given her form this term. |
|||
11th (7)  (4/1 +0%)Shelaka |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Shelaka 4/1, Promising individual. Second of 5 in minor event at Gowran (7f, heavy, 10/3) 33 days ago. The winner subsequently performed well in listed company and, with improvement likely back up to a mile for this handicap debut, she's a must for the shortlist. Won maiden on debut; bounced back from lesser run when 2nd at Gowran latest; 1m may suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Asian Daze gained a third career win when making an impressive reappearance over 7f here earlier this month, beating SLUICE by three and a half lengths. However, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly could be suited by the combination of moving up to a mile and this sounder surface, so may reverse the form on 10lb better terms. Flight Of Fancy takes a drop in class after her fourth in a Naas Group 3 and the step back in trip could suit, while Zaynab showed a smart turn of foot to snatch a 7f maiden here last month. Evening Blossom and September Leaves are two to consider on their handicap debut with useful claimers booked.
The pick of several promising fillies is SHELAKA, who shaped well when chasing home a useful type on her reappearance at Gowran and the return to this trip/switch to handicap company can help unlock improvement. Conversely, Flight of Fancy drops back in trip after contesting a 10.4f listed race at Naas and she is second choice off what looks a fair opening mark. Evening Blossom also merits respect, along with Asian Daze and Sluice, who were the first two home in a handicap here 20 days ago.
SLUICE shaped like she would relish a mile when second here earlier this month and she should have plenty more to give this season

(3)  (13/2 +46%)Gregarina |
13/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gregarina 13/2, Useful mare. First run since leaving Fabrice Chappet when winning 10-runner Athasi Stakes at this course (7f, soft, 16/1) by a head from You Send Me, despite a slow start. Should make her presence felt. Recovered her best French form when winning here on Irish debut, stable has a strong hand. |
|||
1st (5)  (8/1 -45%)Ocean Jewel |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ocean Jewel 8/1, Useful filly. 8½ lengths eighth of 12 to Tahiyra in Matron Stakes (66/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm), finishing with running left. Off 8 months but she will be a live each-way player if fully tuned-up for this. Group 3 winner over 7f, decent run in a Group 1 on only attempt at this trip, interesting. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/1 +50%)Goldana |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Goldana 7/1, Useful mare. Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Creditable short-head second of 6 to Empress of Beauty in listed race (10/11) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 18 days ago, having run of race. Place possibilities. Solid recent form in Listed races, 8lb behind yard's Rogue Millennium on official figures. |
|||
3rd (7)  (Evens +39%)Rogue Millennium |
Evens(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rogue Millennium Evens, Smart mare. Below form 17¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Big Rock in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot (8f, soft, 50/1) when last seen in October. Will prove hard to beat if on-song following a break on debut for new yard (£1,650,000 buy from Tom Clover). Looks the best of these on 2023 form, suited by good ground, leads strong stable challenge. |
|||
4th (6)  (13/2 -18%)Orchid Bloom |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Orchid Bloom 13/2, Useful filly. 10½ lengths sixth of 8 to Royal Dress in listed race at Goodwood (8f, soft, 5/2) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Better than she was able to show that day and no surprise if she bounces back with a bold show, Best run on heavy in France, well below that from in a Listed race on soft at Goodwood. |
|||
5th (9)  (8/1 +20%)You Send Me |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) You Send Me 8/1, Useful filly. Good head second of 10 to Gregarina in Athasi Stakes at this course (7f, soft, 17/2) 20 days ago. Likely to give another good account of herself. Only just failed to match Gregerina over 7f here last time, needs more at this level. |
|||
6th (8)  (14/1 -17%)Villanova Queen |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Villanova Queen 14/1, Useful mare. 16/1, 5 lengths fourth of 6 to Empress of Beauty in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 18 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Finished 5l behind runner-up Goldana on seasonal debut in a Listed race at Gowran. |
|||
7th (1)  (40/1 +20%)Girl Racer |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Girl Racer 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving William Haggas when very good third of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Gowran (7f, soft) 32 days ago. Hood on 1st time and she looks up against it raised in class here. Fair handicap run at Gowran on Irish debut, little apparent chance at these weights. |
|||
8th (4)  (14/1 +65%)Mammas Girl |
14/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mammas Girl 14/1, Useful filly at her best but there wasn't enough in her reappearance effort over C&D in March to suggest that she will play a leading role in this contest. Last year's Nell Gwyn winner, appears well held by Goldana on early-season course running. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand here and ROGUE MILLENNIUM may prove the pick of his trio. The Dubawi mare seems best suited by a mile and good ground, having won the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot last year and also filling the runner-up spot behind Tahiyra in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown, before being sold out of Tom Clover's yard for 1,650,000 guineas in December. Goldana had Villanova Queen five lengths behind when just touched off at Gowran last time, while Gregarina got up on the line to pip You Send Me by a head in the Group 3 Athasi Stakes over 7f here earlier this month.
All being well ROGUE MILLENNIUM should prove too strong for her eight rivals. She contested Group 1s after landing the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot last summer and may well kick on again this year now with Joseph O'Brien. Gregarina, one of two fellow representatives from the same yard, could be the one for the forecast, while Ocean Jewel and Orchid Bloom are other plausible candidates for minor honours.
Joseph O'Brien's 2024 recruit ROGUE MILLENNIUM (nap) sets a high standard based on her Royal Ascot win and Matron Stakes second

1st (7)  (7/4 +61%)White Birch |
7/4(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) White Birch 7/4, Very smart colt. Winner of Group 3 Alleged and Group 2 Mooresbridge over C&D this season, beating the reopposing Lord Massusus by 3¾ lengths in latter. Should go well. Third in the 2023 Derby, has consolidated a strong profile with two 1m2f Pattern wins. |
|||
2nd (1)  (11/8 -73%)Auguste Rodin |
11/8(-73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Auguste Rodin 11/8, Flopped in 2000 Guineas and King George but won all other outings at 3, namely Derby at Epsom, Irish Derby here, Irish Champion and Breeders' Cup Turf. Flopped again on Meydan reappearance but his record suggests he can bounce straight back. Head and shoulders superior to these, needs to repeat previous recoveries after Dubai flop. |
|||
3rd (2)  (40/1 +20%)Crypto Force |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Crypto Force 40/1, Smart course winner. 50/1, 4 lengths seventh of 9 to Haya Zark in Prix Ganay at Longchamp (10.4f, soft) 28 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Smart juvenile in 2022, missed last year, too early to say if he can recapture best form. |
|||
4th (3)  (7/1 -17%)Elegant Man |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Elegant Man 7/1, Highly promising sort who produced a really smart handicap performance when taking his career record to 3-4 (all AW) at Newcastle on Good Friday. Can make his presence felt in this much higher grade if as effective on turf. Has won three of his four starts all on AW, in at deep end for introduction to grass. |
|||
5th (8)  (10/1 -11%)Lumiere Rock |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lumiere Rock 10/1, Smart filly. C&D winner. 194/10, good 3 lengths sixth of 12 to Inspiral in Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Santa Anita (10f, firm) when last seen in November. Won 1m2f Group 2 Blandford Stakes here last September, third in the Opera, seasonal debut. |
|||
6th (4)  (40/1 -21%)Hans Andersen |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hans Andersen 40/1, Useful colt. Course winner. 8 lengths fifth of 6 to Passenger in Huxley Stakes at Chester (10.3f, good to firm, 11/2) 16 days ago, hampered. Plenty to find. Stiff task at this level after an indifferent run in the Huxley Stakes at Chester. |
|||
7th (5)  (50/1 -52%)Lord Massusus |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lord Massusus 50/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Five wins from 16 runs. Good 3¾ lengths second of 5 to White Birch in Mooresbridge Stakes (20/1) here (10f, soft) 20 days ago but hard to see him turning the tables on that rival. Third to the 10lb-receiving Goldana at Leopardstown, no match for White Birch on latest. |
|||
8th (6)  (33/1 -32%)Mashhoor |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mashhoor 33/1, C&D winner. Five wins from 16 runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, 7½ lengths fourth of 6 to Passenger in Huxley Stakes at Chester (10.3f, good to firm, 14/1) 16 days ago. Down the field behind White Birch at this venue and fourth of six in the Huxley Stakes. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
WHITE BIRCH must turn around the Epsom and Irish Derby form with Auguste Rodin but has had a better preparation. Ground-versatile, he was beaten a little over five lengths by Auguste Rodin in the Derby and, while disappointing in the Irish version, he's looked better than ever this year. Auguste Rodin flopped for a third time in March's Sheema Classic and while two of those disappointments were on seasonal reappearances, he also failed in the King George last July. This race has been his target since Meydan and, while better can be expected, he needs his best to beat the selection in his current mood. Lumiere Rock finished third in October's Prix de l'Opera and is noted along with Elegant Man.
If AUGUSTE RODIN is on one of his going days he'll be hard to stop. Elegant Man jumps from a handicap to a Group 1 but it was some performance from him to defy a mark of 108 at Newcastle on Good Friday and he's feared more than White Birch, a winner of 2 pattern events over C&D already this season.
It is worth opposing the enigmatic Auguste Rodin with the Derby third WHITE BIRCH who has impressed with two Pattern wins this term

(4)  (66/1 +0%)Bluedrum |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bluedrum 66/1, Twice-raced winner. 8/1, 6½ lengths seventh of 10 to Gregarina in Athasi Stakes at this course (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Lots more needed. Stable has been in great form but this filly needs massive improvement in this company. |
|||
1st (7)  (11/4 +45%)Fallen Angel |
11/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fallen Angel 11/4, Too Darn Hot filly who ended her excellent 2-y-o campaign with victory in the Group 1 Moyglare here (7f, good to soft). Closer to a strong pace than ideal when 4½ lengths eighth of 16 to Elmalka in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good) on reappearance 21 days ago. Could bounce back with a bang. Won Moyglare Stud Stakes here accounting for Vespertilio, disappointing at Newmarket. |
|||
2nd (1)  (12/1 -20%)A Lilac Rolla |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) A Lilac Rolla 12/1, Took her record to 3-3 when winning 11-runner 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (7f, heavy, 9/2) 49 days ago by head from Kitty Rose. Likely capable of better again. Beat Opera Singer last season, still unbeaten after seasonal debut, capable of a big run. |
|||
3rd (9)  (7/2 -40%)Opera Singer |
7/2(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Opera Singer 7/2, Created a very good impression when a 5-length winner of the Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp (1m, good to firm, 17/10) on her final 2-y-o start. There could be even more to come at 3. The one to beat. Ended juvenile season with a powerful display in the Prix Marcel Boussac, strong contender. |
|||
4th (5)  (18/1 -80%)Buttons |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Buttons 18/1, Thrice-raced winner. ¾-length second of 7 to Wendla in Cornelscourt Stakes at Leopardstown (1m, good to firm, 6/5) 14 days ago, conceding first run. Capable of better. Third to A Lilac Rolla in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown, modest gallop against her last time. |
|||
5th (11)  (8/1 +20%)Purple Lily |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Purple Lily 8/1, Latest win at Naas in March. ½-length second of 7 to Ezeliya in Salsabil Stakes (evens) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Remains capable of better now dropping back to 1m. Return to 1m should suit after Navan defeat at 1m2f, trainer also runs A Lilac Rolla. |
|||
6th (3)  (12/1 +0%)Azada |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Azada 12/1, 4/1, won 12-runner maiden at Leopardstown (7f, heavy) on debut in October. This a big ask on second start but her trainer and jockey are seeking a hat-trick of wins in this race. Looked potentially smart when scoring over 7f at Leopardstown at two, this is an ambitious. |
|||
7th (12)  (125/1 -25%)Queen Of Thunder |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Queen Of Thunder 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 4/6, second of 4 in minor event at Cork (7f, good to firm), clear of rest. Off 8 months. Uphill task. Placed on both starts at two, 82-rated filly can left out of calculations in this grade. |
|||
8th (13)  (12/1 +0%)Skellet |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Skellet 12/1, Kingman filly who went down only narrowly in 7f Newmarket Group 3 on her final 2-y-o start. Will stay at least 1m. Very much the type to keep on improving. Went close in Group 3 at Newmarket last October, has plenty to find at this level. |
|||
9th (14)  (4/1 +27%)Vespertilio |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Vespertilio 4/1, Useful filly. Course winner. 17/1, good neck third of 15 to Rouhiya in Poule d'Essai des Pouliches at Longchamp (8f, good) on reappearance 14 days ago. Second to Fallen Angel in the Moyglare, strong chance after third in French equivalent. |
|||
10th (8)  (125/1 -25%)Finsceal Luas |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Finsceal Luas 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable second of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago, no match for winner. Plenty to find on form. Dan won this in 2007 but she is still a maiden and is likely to be well out of her depth. |
|||
11th (6)  (25/1 +0%)Everlasting |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Everlasting 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. Excellent length third of 7 to Ezeliya in Salsabil Stakes at Navan (10f, good to soft, 6/1) 29 days ago. One of 4 from the stable. Finished behind Purple Lily over 1m2f at Navan, making up the numbers for Ballydoyle here. |
|||
12th (2)  (25/1 +0%)Alpheratz |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Alpheratz 25/1, 10/11, career best when winning 4-runner minor event at Killarney (1m, soft) 12 days ago, responding well. Faces a stiff task in this company, though. Found 7f inadequate when fifth to A Lilac Rolla at Leopardstown, 1m Killarney winner. |
|||
13th (10)  (33/1 -18%)Pearls And Rubies |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Pearls And Rubies 33/1, Useful filly. Excellent 1½ lengths second of 11 to Porta Fortuna in Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 33/1) when last seen in September. Significantly up in trip on return. Excellent second behind Porta Fortuna in the Cheveley Park, the trip may be an issue. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
OPERA SINGER was a top juvenile last year and while she missed the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket having met with a setback, it is encouraging she contests this Classic. By City Of Troy's sire Justify, she has her first run as a three-year-old and meets high-class, race-fit rivals, although she did win the Prix Marcel Boussac by five lengths last October and looks up to the task. Vespertilio finished a close third in the French equivalent and while she has proven recent form, she would probably prefer some cut in the ground. She was beaten by Fallen Angel here last September, but the UK raider does need to improve on her Newmarket exploits.
The manner in which OPERA SINGER demolished her field in the Marcel Boussac marks her down as a potential top notcher and she can provide Aidan O'Brien with an eleventh success in this race. Moyglare winner Fallen Angel can bounce back from a slightly disappointing run in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and provide the chief threat ahead of fellow British raider Skellet.
Third in the French 1,000 Guineas third VESPERTILIO gets the vote to reverse last season's Moyglare running with Fallen Angel

(3)  (16/1 -60%)Formal Display |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Formal Display 16/1, Thrice-raced winner. 8/13, won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f) on final 2-y-o start, driven out. This is more demanding but the son of Too Darn Hot should improve now faced with a stiffer test. Winner of a maiden at Dundalk, decent prospect but has plenty to prove on seasonal debut. |
|||
1st (1)  (11/4 +45%)Chief Little Rock |
11/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chief Little Rock 11/4, Lightly-raced winner. Respectable length third of 6 to Bellum Justum in listed race (4/5) at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Solid form claims but Ryan Moore prefers Mundi. Smart at two, failed to shine in Epsom trial, Ryan Moore deserts but still merits respect. |
|||
2nd (7)  (15/2 -15%)Stromberg |
15/2(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Stromberg 15/2, Lightly-raced winner. 15/8, creditable second of 5 in minor event at Cork (10.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Each-way chance. May improve from Cork run but winner Bremen failed to advertise the form at Leopardstown. |
|||
3rd (2)  (14/1 +0%)Ecureuil Secret |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ecureuil Secret 14/1, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 6/1, 2 lengths fourth of 5 to Bright Stripes in listed race at this course (8f, soft) 20 days ago. Up in trip and no more than an each-way squeak. Trip should not be beyond his range but needs to settle better, held by Norfolk Havoc. |
|||
4th (8)  (11/2 +21%)The Equator |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Equator 11/2, Twice-raced winner. Won 9-runner maiden (7/2) at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 46 days ago, forging clear. Should progress but doesn't look the main Ballydoyle challenger on jockey bookings. Steps up in class after maiden win over this trip, Ryan Moore on the unexposed Mundi. |
|||
5th (9)  (33/1 -18%)Vestigia |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Vestigia 33/1, Fairly useful colt. Career best when winning 11-runner maiden (4/1) at Gowran (8f, heavy) 17 days ago. Shouldn't have any issues with this step up in trip but the strength of the opposition is another matter. Won a Gowran maiden on reappearance, this opposition looks much too strong for him. |
|||
6th (5)  (14/1 -40%)Norwalk Havoc |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Norwalk Havoc 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 13/2, creditable length second of 5 to Bright Stripes in listed race at this course (8f, soft) 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt now upped in trip. Second to useful colt Bright Stripes in a 1m Listed race here early in the month. |
|||
7th (4)  (13/2 -95%)Mundi |
13/2(-95%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mundi 13/2, Highly promising type. Won 13-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f, 7/2) on debut 44 days ago, driven out. Open to significant progress now upped in trip in a race that his powerful connections have farmed in recent times. Should be ready for this rise in class and trip after Dundalk win, Ryan Moore's choice. |
|||
8th (6)  (9/4 +44%)Spoken Truth |
9/4(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Spoken Truth 9/4, Twice-raced winner. 13/8, won 11-runner maiden at Cork (10.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago, pushed out. This is far sterner test but he's well-bred and remains open to improvement. Better ground and the benefit of Cork maiden win can help to produce improvement. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SPOKEN TRUTH won the same Cork maiden that Dermot Weld's dual Derby winner Harzand landed in 2016. Those behind him at Cork haven't boosted the form but the son of Frankel remains a colt of some promise and his trainer believes he will improve for better ground. Aidan O'Brien runs three and Ryan Moore has plumped for Mundi. The brother to Churchill won a Dundalk maiden over a mile on debut but doesn't hold any notable entries in the coming months. Stablemate Chief Little Rock, twice runner-up in Group races last term, is highest-rated and ran well when third in a Listed contest at Epsom on his reappearance. Norwalk Havoc's pedigree suggests he may improve for this longer trip.
It looks significant that Ryan Moore has opted to ride MUNDI ahead of Chief Little Rock, who is a proven Group-class performer. Indeed, Mundi looked very promising indeed when landing a Dundalk maiden on debut last month and this superbly-bred colt possesses stacks of potential. Spoken Truth is also promising and he is third choice, albeit only marginally as there's another promising Ballydoyle colt on show in The Equator, while Norwalk Havoc and Stromberg are no back numbers either.
Moore is on Mundi but Wayne Lordan's mount CHIEF LITTLE ROCK was a good juvenile may not have done himself justice at Epsom

80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ms Messi 80/1, Make Believe filly. Sister to 1m-1¼m winner Asgard's Captain. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Royal Razalma. Best watched on debut. Make Believe filly; sister to Asgard's Captain; unlikely to figure on debut. |
|||
1st (3)  (11/2 +21%)Hanalia |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hanalia 11/2, Once-raced filly. 10/3, fourth of 8 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) on debut 18 days ago. Open to progress and should make her presence felt. Beaten 6l in fillies' maiden 18 days ago; probably not strongest maiden around. |
|||
2nd (4)  (2/1 +33%)Lily Hart |
2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lily Hart 2/1, Once-raced filly. Tenth of 13 in maiden (25/1) at Dundalk (7f) on debut, merely passing beaten rivals. Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip and it's interesting that Ryan Moore partners her in favour of North Africa. 25s when 10th in 7f maiden; will relish the longer trip here and respected with Moore on. |
|||
3rd (8)  (8/1 -78%)Sidiza |
8/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sidiza 8/1, Sea The Moon filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner Sidiriya. Lots to like on paper and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. Sea The Moon filly; half-sister to 1m4f winner Sidiriya; dam 1m1f winner; check market. |
|||
4th (1)  (25/1 -56%)Alfheim |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alfheim 25/1, Once-raced filly. 16/1 and tongue strap on, eighth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) on debut 51 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed. Beaten 15l when 16s for AW debut; nice pedigree and may do better. |
|||
5th (7)  (13/2 +77%)Pink Orchid |
13/2(+77%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pink Orchid 13/2, Justify filly. Dam, winner up to 1¾m (Stanerra Stakes and 2-y-o 7f/1m winner), sister to high-class winner up to 1½m (1000 Guineas/Oaks) Love. Obvious appeal on paper but jockey bookings suggest that she's the stable third-string. Justify filly; dam Group 3 winner and sister to Love; well bred but down the order. |
|||
6th (2)  (7/1 -17%)Cathedral Peak |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cathedral Peak 7/1, Camelot filly. Dam, 7.5f/1m winner, half-sister to useful 6f-9.5f winner Greyfriarschorista. One to note in the betting. Camelot filly; dam Listed-placed; mix of speed and stamina in pedigree; check market. |
|||
7th (6)  (3/1 +33%)North Africa |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) North Africa 3/1, Promising sort. 12/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago, running on. This Galileo filly will be much sharper this time and she looks sure to be involved in the finish. Probably did too much too soon when beaten 9l 2 weeks ago; can come on for that. |
|||
8th (9)  (66/1 -65%)Sing A New Song |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sing A New Song 66/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Cork (12f, good to soft, 80/1) 5 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Modest form in two starts so far and handicaps after this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SIDIZA, a half-sister to a 1m4f winner from the family of Sinndar, has obviously shown promise in her homework as she holds an entry in the Group 3 Munster Oaks at Cork next month and Dermot Weld's daughter of Sea The Stars can make a winning debut. Ryan Moore sets a poser by riding Lily Hart, unfancied when down the field at Dundalk on her sole outing at two, as opposed to North Africa who was green when showing mild promise at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. The latter holds the same Group 3 entry as the selection, and so too does claimer-ridden Pink Orchid who is a third runner for Ballydoyle. Gowran fourth Hanalia may improve for better ground.
Though passed over by Ryan Moore, NORTH AFRICA is nevertheless appealing on the back of her encouraging introduction at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. Moore's pick Lily Hart was never in the hunt on her sole 2-y-o start at Dundalk but she can be expected to leave that form well behind in time. Hanalia should build on her debut promise, while newcomers Cathedral Peak and Sidiza both need a close look in the betting.
NORTH AFRICA shades the vote with a recent run under her belt. That was an encouraging enough start, a 5th in an above average maiden

18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Glan 18/1, Once-raced winner on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. 50/1, twentieth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft) 26 days ago, going in snatches. Makes handicap debut. Struggled over hurdles recently but won a maiden when last seen on Flat; decent mark. |
|||
(2)  (20/1 +0%)Esquiline |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Esquiline 20/1, 21 lengths last of 9 to Enfranchise in listed race (8/1) at Gowran (14f, heavy) 18 days ago. Has work to do. Won Bellewstown maiden last year; best form at 1m4f and others on better marks. |
|||
1st (11)  (20/1 -25%)Fairytale Princess |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Fairytale Princess 20/1, Latest win at Dundalk in November. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Roscommon (12.1f, good, 12/1) 6 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won 3 on AW at end of last year; 0-8 on turf; respectable return but stamina to prove. |
|||
2nd (14)  (10/1 +29%)Grappa Nonino |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Grappa Nonino 10/1, C&D winner. 9/1, eighteenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Stable having good spell. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. C&D winner last summer; didn't manage to build on that at 2m; needs to be back to best. |
|||
3rd (19)  (14/1 +30%)Rain |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Rain 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good 2¼ lengths fourth of 19 to Nostra Casa in handicap at Navan (13f, good to soft, 11/1) 29 days ago, running on. Another with each-way claims. Running well in defeat of late but 5lb wrong for this tough assignment. |
|||
4th (6)  (4/1 +0%)Bay Of Sanibel |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bay Of Sanibel 4/1, Promising type. 2/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft) 19 days ago, sticking to task. More to come and big player again. Won 2 of last 3 starts, both at 1m6f at Navan and good value for winning margin latest. |
|||
5th (4)  (18/1 -13%)Last Ammo |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Last Ammo 18/1, Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Killarney (16.8f, soft, 11/1) 12 days ago. Place possibilities. Bit below form in 3 runs this year; distant 3rd latest and same mark; others preferred. |
|||
6th (9)  (14/1 -17%)Nostra Casa |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Nostra Casa 14/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Navan in April. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Killarney (16.8f, soft, 9/2) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive. Won 3 of last 7 starts in last 13 months but well held latest; needs career best. |
|||
7th (10)  (11/2 +45%)The Banger Doyle |
11/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) The Banger Doyle 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 17f in chases. Good second of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Killarney (16.8f, soft) 12 days ago, slowly away. Hood on 1st time on the Flat. Okay 2nd at Killarnye last week and fair mark; drop in trip may be against him though. |
|||
8th (8)  (4/1 +20%)Harsh |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Harsh 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful on the Flat. Should have more to offer. 0-5 on Flat but shown promise in this sphere and improving over timber since; new trip. |
|||
9th (17)  (8/1 +20%)Valleyoftheeagles |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Valleyoftheeagles 8/1, 11/2, good second of 16 in handicap at Gowran (14f, heavy) 17 days ago, no match for winner. Each-way chance. 0-9 on Flat; hit crossbar last twice but creeping up the weights; up 3lb for latest. |
|||
10th (7)  (17/2 +29%)Squire Danagher |
17/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Squire Danagher 17/2, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in March. 18/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Visor on 1st time. Won twice on AW this winter but has stamina to prove at this sort of trip; visor on. |
|||
11th (16)  (20/1 -82%)Bold Approach |
20/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Bold Approach 20/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2019. Good third of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Leopardstown (12f, good) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt. Only Flat win came in Feb' 2021; hit the frame at Leopardstown last week but this is tough. |

40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cougar 40/1, Course winner. Nineteenth of 20 in handicap at Galway (16.8f, heavy, 18/1). Off 10 months. Others more persuasive. Interrupted career since leaving Aidan O'Brien; tailed off latest and off another 300 days. |

13th (1)  (100/1 -52%)Mt Leinster |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mt Leinster 100/1, Course winner. 14½ lengths seventh of 8 to Bay of Sanibel in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft, 125/1) 19 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Struggled back on the Flat last time and seems on a stiff enough mark at this point. |

14th (13)  (11/1 -38%)The Mediator |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) The Mediator 11/1, Promising sort. Useful winner at 17f in bumpers. 1½ lengths fourth of 15 to Bay of Sanibel in maiden (5/2) at Navan (14f, heavy), running on. Off 7 months ahead of this belated handicap debut but he's a player all the same. Won bumper on 2021 debut; no wins since but running well in maidens when last seen. |

15th (15)  (33/1 +0%)Queenie St Clair |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Queenie St Clair 33/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, good, 33/1) 9 days ago, suited by way race developed. Significantly up in trip. 7f winner last season; hasn't kicked on this campaign and tough ask over this new trip. |
|||
16th (18)  (100/1 +0%)Spanish John |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Spanish John 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Modest winner at 17f over hurdles. Twelfth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (14f, heavy, 66/1) 17 days ago. Very hard to make a case for. Struggled for form in both sphere since winning over hurdles last summer; 4lb wrong. |
|||
17th (12)  (100/1 -150%)Snapius |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Snapius 100/1, 22/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) 63 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Fairly useful on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Looks competitive on form. 9th in this last year and out of form in recent times. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Fourth in the Fred Winter, HARSH has risen to a hurdles mark of 128 after winning a competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival and looks nicely treated on the level. He's had only five starts in this discipline and is likely to be suited by stepping up in trip. Bay Of Sanibel is a proven stayer and is only 4lb higher than when scoring at Navan. She was value for more than the winning margin and, like the selection, is open to more improvement. Bumper winner The Mediator showed promise in Flat maidens last year and has a massive pull at the weights with Bay Of Sanibel compared to a clash at Navan in October.
BAY OF SANIBEL stuck to her task well when scoring at Navan recently and a 4 lb rise looks very fair indeed. She is taken to see off Harsh and The Mediator, both of whom are open to improvement. Bold Approach took a step back in the right direction at Leopardstown and he is also accorded respect, along with Valleyoftheeagles.
This can go the way of the unexposed BAY OF SANIBEL who has won 2 of her last 3 and a 4lb rise for her latest success looks lenient

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.
