---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (2/1 +27%) Charyn |
2/1(+27%) | (2) Charyn 2/1, Smart colt who excelled himself when hitting the frame in the Irish Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes, both won by Paddington. Third in the Sussex Stakes in August and ran to just a similar level down in class when third in Celebration Mile later that month. Respected on return. Really smart and acts on soft but behind Knight final 3yo start; yard does well in this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4/1 +0%) Astral Beau |
4/1(+0%) | (7) Astral Beau 4/1, Very progressive handicapper in 2022 and improved again to land this corresponding event last year. Produced a rare below-par effort when down the field in similar event at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 6 months ago and she warrants considerable respect on return. Won this on heavy last year but this looks a stronger renewal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (17/2 +29%) Grey's Monument |
17/2(+29%) | (1) Grey's Monument 17/2, Much improved equipped with blinkers/faced with softer ground, winning twice as a juvenile. Made the track just 4 times last year but proved better than ever on all-weather debut when winning a similar event at Kempton (8f) in December. Gelded since and there's lots to like back on turf. Won AW Listed in December (gelded after); acts in the mud but penalty tough to overcome. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (15/2 -50%) Holloway Boy |
15/2(-50%) | (4) Holloway Boy 15/2, Debut winner in Chesham at Royal Ascot in 2022. Seen just twice last season though, disappointing in Irish 2000 Guineas before running up to his best with headgear left off when ½ length fourth of 15 to Age of Kings in Jersey Stakes last June. Gelded since and can't be ignored on return. Talented sort who is capable of going well on first outing for nine months (gelded). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/3 -67%) Knight |
10/3(-67%) | (5) Knight 10/3, Bagged Group 3 Horris Hill at Newbury as a juvenile and took his form up a notch last term, head second of 8 to Chindit in listed race at Sandown (8f heavy) in September. Ran poorly in Darley Stakes (9f, good to soft) next time but fancied to be bang there in a first-time visor. Goes well in the mud and in front of Charyn in Goodwood Group 2 last year; visor added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/1 -22%) Padishakh |
11/1(-22%) | (6) Padishakh 11/1, Useful 9f winner for Jean-Claude Rouget, close fifth in Prix Daphnis at Deauville (8f, soft) in August. Gelded but offered little 2 months later making his UK debut for Roger Varian in Darley Stakes at Newmarket (9f, good to soft) and has since switched yards again (for 200,000 gns). Useful in France; lasted only 1 run with Roger Varian but yard does well with new recruits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (18/1 +73%) Dashing Roger |
18/1(+73%) | (3) Dashing Roger 18/1, Snapped a losing run going back over 2 years when forging clear at Nottingham in October and made light of a hike in the weights to follow up at Newmarket a month later, all out to hold on. Super effective when the mud is flying, but likely to come up short in this company. Useful efforts to win two 1m handicaps in mud last autumn but this much harder. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
CHARYN posted a number of creditable efforts at the highest level last year, perhaps most notably when finishing within four lengths of the exceptional Paddington at Royal Ascot. It had been a long season when he finished third behind the reopposing Knight (second) in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood, so it would come as no surprise were he to reverse that form now. Knight must be respected, though, with the first-time visor a potential source of improvement, while Holloway Boy can give a good account of himself. Last year's winner Astral Beau merits respect in receipt of weight from the boys, but this does look a deeper renewal.
A change of race for the curtain-raiser to the Turf Flat season and it's KNIGHT who gets the nod to come out on top back on a more conventional track for his seasonal return. Both his best efforts came when the mud was flying last season, so he's taken ahead of Charyn, who failed to get his head in front last season but was campaigned solely in pattern company. Last year's winner Astral Beau should relish conditions so she can fill out third.
A good renewal of this Listed prize, with KNIGHT is taken to confirm Celebration Mile superiority over Charyn.

1st (11) (16/1 +20%) Zminiature |
16/1(+20%) | (11) Zminiature 16/1, Foaled January 30. Territories colt. Dam twice-raced half-sister to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Highland Rocker out of useful 7f-1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Cay Dancer. Another who is worth checking out in the betting. Territories colt; stable was 4-34 with 2yos last year; not the percentage call. |

2nd (2) (20/1 +39%) Bob The Bandit |
20/1(+39%) | (2) Bob The Bandit 20/1, Foaled March 17. 2,000 Aclaim colt. Dam unraced out of useful 1m-1¼m winner Horatia, herself half-sister to smart 1m-1½m winner Moment In Time. Stable has won this before. Stable used to have a good record in this race but is 0-54 with 2yos in last five years. |

3rd (12) (22/1 -340%) Indication Ember |
22/1(-340%) | (12) Indication Ember 22/1, Foaled March 13. £19,000 Mayson filly. Dam third at 8.5f in France at 2 yrs. Betting should guide. £19,000 yearling; suitable type especially if the surface is riding deep, being by Mayson. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (8/1 +50%) Atherstone Warrior |
8/1(+50%) | (1) Atherstone Warrior 8/1, Foaled March 13. 10,000 gns Coulsty colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Stay Classy and 1½m-17f winner Orin Swift. Dam winner up to 11.6f (2-y-o 7f winner). Yard no stranger to first-time-out 2-y-o success. 10,000gns yearling; siblings include a 2yo winner; check the betting for further guidance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (28/1 -250%) Theatrically |
28/1(-250%) | (15) Theatrically 28/1, Foaled January 27. 20,000 gns Soldier's Call filly. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to smart 11f/1½m winner Sextant. 20,000gns yearling; yard was only 4-144 with 2yos last season; unappealing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (11/1 +31%) Paddy's Courage |
11/1(+31%) | (14) Paddy's Courage 11/1, Foaled January 31. 5,000 gns Dark Angel filly. Dam 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Trainer was responsible for the runner-up in this in 2022. No surprise to see this one go well. 5,000gns yearling; trainer's runner in this contest two years ago finished second at 40-1. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (7/2 +30%) Dukes Of Haather |
7/2(+30%) | (4) Dukes Of Haather 7/2, Foaled March 21. 47,000 gns Mohaather colt. Closely related to 7f winner Wizarding. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f King Ragnar. One to note in the betting. 47,000gns yearling; by Mohaather; the most expensive purchase in the field; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (22/1 -38%) Clay Shoveler |
22/1(-38%) | (3) Clay Shoveler 22/1, Foaled March 13. 11,000 gns Portamento gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f/7.4f winner On Borrowed Time. The betting should guide to expectations with this one. 11,000gns yearling; trainer has picked up place prize-money in this race several times. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (22/1 +33%) General Gordon |
22/1(+33%) | (7) General Gordon 22/1, Foaled March 24. €7,000 Invincible Army gelding. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1m Hafeet Alain. Dam unraced. The stable had one reach the frame in this in 2022. 7,000euros yearling; trainer's runner in this race two years ago finished fourth at 33-1. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (16/1 -78%) Ettorino |
16/1(-78%) | (5) Ettorino 16/1, Foaled April 10. 10,000 gns Mehmas colt. Dam German 9f/1¼m winner. Yard did quite well with 2-y-os last season and Silvestre De Sousa has been booked. 10,000gns yearling; stable's runner in this contest last year finished fourth at 18-1. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (100/1 -52%) Funalltheway |
100/1(-52%) | (6) Funalltheway 100/1, Foaled April 21. 2,000 gns Ribchester gelding. Half-brother to 4f-6f winner Canmore and 5f/6f winner Fataturbina. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Loch Lein. 2,000gns yearling; by Ribchester; others appear to have greater potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (15/2 -36%) Roysdelight |
15/2(-36%) | (9) Roysdelight 15/2, Foaled April 6. €35,000 Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Royal Razalma out of useful 7f winner Twiggy's Sister. Possibly the yard first string on jockey bookings but the betting should reveal more. 35,000euros yearling; stable is often thereabouts in this contest; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (5/2 +0%) Mystical Elegance |
5/2(+0%) | (13) Mystical Elegance 5/2, Foaled February 1. 45,000 gns Zoustar filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m Gypsy Spirit and 7f winner Georgeta. Likely type on paper for stable which sent out the second in this 12 months ago. 45,000gns yearling; part-owner AMO Racing landed this race in 2022; obvious claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (50/1 -257%) Hidden Hero |
50/1(-257%) | (8) Hidden Hero 50/1, Foaled January 11. £10,000 Land Force colt. Dam unraced. Stable has tasted success in this race before. Yard landed a division of this race in 2017 but was 0-44 with 2yos last season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (10) (33/1 -32%) Sunny Time |
33/1(-32%) | (10) Sunny Time 33/1, Foaled April 4. Without Parole colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 9.5f Jack Berry House and 7f/1m winner Equidae. Dam unraced. Betting check needed. Without Parole colt; yard was 0-14 with 2yos last term; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Amo Racing hit the woodwork in the corresponding event 12 months ago, having landed the previous renewal with Persian Force. There might not be anything of that quality lining up, but their representative MYSTICAL ELEGANCE, a 45,000gns purchase and a half-sister to five winners, is likely to know her job and might have too much for the opposition. General Gordon is a half-brother to Hafeet Alain, who won his maiden over 6f here, so that offers some hope he could get involved. Others to note include Atherstone Warrior and Ettorino.
The betting will obviously provide more clues but the suggestion is MYSTICAL ELEGANCE, whose owner/trainer had one primed to go well in this last year and the 2022 winner also sported these silks. Darryll Holland is another who has readied one to go close in this in recent years so his Paddy's Courage is put forward as second choice ahead of Atherstone Warrior.
Based on purchase price and other factors, the vote goes to DUKES OF HAATHER. Mystical Elegance is feared most.

1st (2) (17/2 +23%) Look Back Smiling |
17/2(+23%) | (2) Look Back Smiling 17/2, Reluctant sort but he posted a career best when winning 10-runner handicap here (7f, heavy) in October. Needs to back it up off a 3 lb higher mark. Has notable Doncaster form, including a heavy-ground win last time out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/1 +38%) Thunder Roar |
5/1(+38%) | (7) Thunder Roar 5/1, Signed off for 2023 with 7f win here and resumed with a solid third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly off an unchanged mark. Has form figures of 21311 on soft/heavy; interesting granted ideal ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (17/2 +29%) Arthur's Realm |
17/2(+29%) | (6) Arthur's Realm 17/2, Took this in 2022 and not disgraced when fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) in October. Not ruled out on his seasonal return. Landed this prize off only 1lb lower in 2022; finished seventh last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (12/1 +45%) Clear Angel |
12/1(+45%) | (9) Clear Angel 12/1, Dual 1m winner last season who signed off with a respectable fourth of 16 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good), not ideally placed. In the mix. Respectable sixth in this contest 12 months ago; again may not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7/1 +50%) Magic Memories |
7/1(+50%) | (8) Magic Memories 7/1, Took his form up another notch when shedding maiden status in 1m handicap at Brighton (heavy) in October and backed it up with a good third at Newmarket following month. Shortlisted on his return. Ended last season in good form; may improve further this year; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (16) (22/1 -144%) Helter Skelter |
22/1(-144%) | (16) Helter Skelter 22/1, Fair 1m maiden for John Joseph Murphy last autumn. Sold for 38,000 gns and posted an encouraging fourth for his new yard after 6 months off in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 8 days ago. Interesting now going into handicaps, especially if the market vibes are positive. The least exposed contender; interesting on second run for shrewd new connections. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (16/1 +11%) Maysong |
16/1(+11%) | (13) Maysong 16/1, Consistent sort who posted a good second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 17 days ago. A two-time 1m winner in 2023 so he needs considering. Fully exposed but he finished third (off only 2lb lower) in this race last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (33/1 -50%) Hortzadar |
33/1(-50%) | (12) Hortzadar 33/1, Bagged two 1m handicaps last autumn but only eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 15 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Not the force of old; recent efforts don't augur well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (22/1 -22%) Wildfell |
22/1(-22%) | (5) Wildfell 22/1, C&D winner who arrives in decent nick, fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 34 days ago. One to consider. Fit from AW; sole turf success came over C&D; not without a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (7/1 -8%) Harswell Duke |
7/1(-8%) | (15) Harswell Duke 7/1, C&D winner in the mud last spring and shaped as if the run was needed after 4 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 10 days ago. Merits serious consideration off a handy-looking mark. Defied an 8lb higher mark in this race 12 months ago; very attractively weighted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (28/1 +0%) Lion Tower |
28/1(+0%) | (1) Lion Tower 28/1, Posted his best effort in a long while when second of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 48 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up off the same mark. The forecast slow ground is a negative back on turf; best on good/firmer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (18) (28/1 +0%) Tonal |
28/1(+0%) | (18) Tonal 28/1, Got off the mark at Wolverhampton in February and not disgraced under a 5 lb penalty when fourth of 9 in handicap there (9.5f) 36 days ago. Possibilities. Campaigned in Class 6 on AW since handicapping; something to prove back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (12/1 +14%) Expressionless |
12/1(+14%) | (14) Expressionless 12/1, Kickstarted 2023 with back-to-back 1m wins at Nottingham and Epsom. Caught wide when seventh of 9 at Lingfield (10f, AW) final run so no surprise to see him in the picture here off a 2 lb lower mark. This may be the time to catch him; scored twice on soft ground last spring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (12/1 -71%) Titian |
12/1(-71%) | (3) Titian 12/1, Course winner who turned in a rare below-par effort when ninth of 12 in handicap at York (10.2f, soft) in October. Sort to bounce back after a break. Close second off 2lb higher in this contest 12 months ago; respected back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (11) (22/1 -57%) He's A Gentleman |
22/1(-57%) | (11) He's A Gentleman 22/1, A two-time scorer at Wolverhampton last autumn who resumed with a good second of 12 in handicap there (7.2f) 42 days ago, just failing. Merits consideration. Very consistent, mostly on AW, since last summer; 0-14 on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (4) (10/1 -18%) Dirtyoldtown |
10/1(-18%) | (4) Dirtyoldtown 10/1, 22/1, improved on recent efforts to win 17-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy) in November. Handles the mud well so he can make his presence felt despite taking a 5 lb rise. Won comfortably on heavy ground at Newmarket when last seen; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (17) (66/1 -65%) Skilled Warrior |
66/1(-65%) | (17) Skilled Warrior 66/1, It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2023 and he came in only seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 16/1) 10 days ago. Others are preferred. Current mark reflects a decline in his form; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (10) (33/1 -200%) Kalikapour |
33/1(-200%) | (10) Kalikapour 33/1, A fair ex-Irish 1m winner who wasn't disgraced when a close 11th in 10f Dundalk handicap in September. Much respected after a break for his new handler with few miles still on the clock. Ex-Irish; failed to progress last year; market instructive on debut for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
It might be worth taking a chance on HARSWELL DUKE, who made all to defeat the reopposing Titian off 8lb higher in this race last year. He should have been primed for this following a recent spin at Newcastle and any further rain will suit. Look Back Smiling is another who will relish forecast ground conditions, having recorded a course win on heavy ground when last seen 147 days ago. Lion Tower returned with a narrow second at Newcastle last month and he could be on the premises too, while Hortzadar, Wildfell and Clear Angel are just a few others to consider.
Plenty are in with a shout. Roger Fell took this 12 months ago and his HARSWELL DUKE is worth siding with given he should strip fitter for a recent Newcastle sixth and also now figures on a good mark after his C&D success in the mud last spring. Gary Moore's Magic Memories also handles these underfoot conditions really well and could emerge as the main threat ahead of handicap-debutant Helter Skelter and reliable duo Maysong and Titian.
A chance is taken on HELTER SKELTER, who lacks experience but is very unexposed by the same token. Harswell Duke is second choice.

1st (3) (4/1 +0%) Montassib |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Montassib 4/1, Smart gelding. 10/1, career best when winning 22-runner handicap at York (6f, soft), suited by emphasis on stamina. Off 161 days. Obvious claims on return, although race might not be run to suit. Won big-field handicap at York last autumn; well worth his place in this higher grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3/1 +0%) Marshman |
3/1(+0%) | (2) Marshman 3/1, Made a winning reappearance in a 5.5f Chantilly Group 3 last season before having his limitations exposed in Group company. Drops in grade now and is likely to be ready for this return, so he's a definite player. Lightly raced 4yo with good record fresh; drops in class and has conditions in his favour. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (3/1 +25%) Orazio |
3/1(+25%) | (4) Orazio 3/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who looked a sprinter going places when landing 6f handicaps at Newmarket and Ascot last spring. Didn't fully kick on but likely to be right back on his game now fresh from 6 months off, so warrants plenty of respect. Promising last spring; beaten favourite in big handicaps after but has since been gelded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (5/1 +69%) Adaay In Devon |
5/1(+69%) | (7) Adaay In Devon 5/1, Progressive last season, winning four times and signing off with a good second in listed company at Newmarket 141 days ago. Needs further improvement if he's to trouble some of these rivals on reappearance. 3yo; had fine 2023, 2nd in Newmarket Listed race final start, but this is tougher still. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (4/1 -78%) Baradar |
4/1(-78%) | (1) Baradar 4/1, Bagged the International over 7f here (good to soft) in July and produced a really smart handicap performance when following up over 6.5f at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. Seemed amiss on final outing but has an excellent record fresh and makes plenty of appeal. Two good handicap wins in 2023, including here; came to hand early last year; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (50/1 +24%) Glorious Angel |
50/1(+24%) | (5) Glorious Angel 50/1, Useful filly who shaped as if she'd strip fitter for the run when fifth in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Out of her depth in this company, though. Front-runner; might have needed reappearance 12 days ago; stiff task in this higher grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (20/1 -82%) Sophia's Starlight |
20/1(-82%) | (6) Sophia's Starlight 20/1, Likeable filly who enjoyed a productive campaign last season, narrowly denied in a listed contest at Newmarket on her final outing 5 months ago. Could feature under a positive ride. Hardy pacesetter; beaten a head in Newmarket Listed in October; may still be unexposed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Baradar finished third in last year's Lincoln and then struck on two occasions over shorter distances to improve his rating 8lb last season. His last run at Ascot in October was too bad to be true and he is likely to be thereabouts, but the vote goes to MARSHMAN. Karl Burke's colt finished second in the Gimcrack in 2022 and took a Group 3 at Chantilly over an extended 5f in April last year, so he could have too much speed for his main rival. Of the remainder, Montassib appeals most.
BARADAR was firmly on the up prior to seeming amiss at Ascot on his final outing last season but, freshened up, he's likely to put up a bold showing on return. Montassib is closely matched with the selection on form, so he's regarded as a big player along with Orazio.
Charlie Hills's ORAZIO looked a sprinter going places last spring and may get back on track if a gelding op has had a positive effect.

1st (15) (33/1 +0%) Mr Professor |
33/1(+0%) | (15) Mr Professor 33/1, Back to winning ways at Goodwood (9f, soft) in September. Respectable efforts final 2 starts. Ground conditions will be fine on this return to action and he's competitively handicapped. Did well for new yard in second half of last season but needs something extra on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (16/1 -60%) Lattam |
16/1(-60%) | (12) Lattam 16/1, Won the Irish Lincoln in the mud on his 2023 reappearance. Several other good efforts for William Haggas last season and he's an interesting new recruit for the Julie Camacho stable. Won Irish Lincolnshire on 2023 reappearance; each-way claims on stable/seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (22/1 +0%) Navagio |
22/1(+0%) | (11) Navagio 22/1, Progressed into a useful performer in Ireland for Ray Cody last summer, winning 1m Limerick handicap and 9.5f Gowran conditions race. Not obviously well handicapped but worth a betting check now setting out for a new yard after a 47,000 gns sale last autumn. Improved form in Ireland last summer but may be on a tough mark for stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (22) (28/1 +58%) Alpha Crucis |
28/1(+58%) | (22) Alpha Crucis 28/1, Won twice over 1m in the mud last year. Better than result when sixth of 14 in 1m Newmarket final start. Still relatively low mileage. 2 lb out of handicap. Only sixth when last seen but progressive prior; retains potential; interesting outsider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (5/2 +55%) Chazzesmee |
5/2(+55%) | (10) Chazzesmee 5/2, Low-mileage 6-y-o who improved again to justify strong market support in last Monday's Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh (1m, heavy). Did that comfortably and a major player under a 5 lb penalty if coping with the quick turnaround. Travelled well to win Irish Lincolnshire on Monday; 5lb penalty may not stop him today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (20) (25/1 +62%) Spirit Genie |
25/1(+62%) | (20) Spirit Genie 25/1, Won easily dropped to selling company last autumn but showed he can be very competitive from his mark in handicaps when second on heavy at Newmarket (1m) in November. Below par on AW later that month and off since. Close 2nd on heavy ground on last turf run; returns with conditions to suit; could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (11/1 +21%) Thunder Ball |
11/1(+21%) | (5) Thunder Ball 11/1, Off the mark in 7f Newbury novice last May and deservedly gained a second career win in 1m Goodwood handicap (soft) on final start in October. A 6 lb rise for that stylish success looks fair. Could have a big say. Progressive towards end of last season, including on soft; in mix if continuing good work. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (12/1 +0%) The Gatekeeper |
12/1(+0%) | (6) The Gatekeeper 12/1, Rounded off a fine 2023 season with success in the valuable Balmoral handicap at Ascot (1m, soft) in October. Up to a triple-figure rating for the first time so will need to improve again if he's to land another big pot on his return. Won the Balmoral Handicap when last seen; on career-high mark but not ruled out on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (16) (66/1 -32%) Chuzzlewit |
66/1(-32%) | (16) Chuzzlewit 66/1, Reacted well to blinkers (retained) when seeing off 5 rivals at Newcastle (1m) 10 days ago but not an obvious one to follow up off effectively 6 lb higher back on turf. Won in first-time blinkers at Newcastle recently but best form has come on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (19) (22/1 +45%) One Night Thunder |
22/1(+45%) | (19) One Night Thunder 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Ran well in the mud at Newmarket when fourth on her yard debut in November. Well beaten at Newcastle a fortnight later and absent since. Others are more obvious. Below par on AW when last seen but encouraging stable debut previously; not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (17) (33/1 +0%) Parlando |
33/1(+0%) | (17) Parlando 33/1, Useful sort who comes here on the back of a win in Bahrain last month. His debut success back in 2021 came on heavy ground but a 5 lb penalty for that recent win demands a big career best. In good form in Bahrain over winter, winning last time; not ruled out under 5lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (33/1 -50%) Dutch Decoy |
33/1(-50%) | (13) Dutch Decoy 33/1, Five-time 7f/1m winner in 2022 and went in on the July Course at Newmarket last summer. Plenty of creditable efforts in top-end handicaps later in 2023 but remains 3 lb above that last successful mark on reappearance. Consistent in good handicaps last year; each-way claims if at top of game on reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (5/1 -25%) Liberty Lane |
5/1(-25%) | (4) Liberty Lane 5/1, Smart and improved performance back from an 8-week break when edging out Sonny Liston (pair clear) in a 15-runner C&D handicap (soft) on St Leger day. Might not have been over those exertions when down the field in the Cambridgeshire a fortnight later. Taken to bounce back with a bang. Won 15-runner C&D handicap on soft last September; conditions in favour on reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (14) (18/1 +45%) Farhh To Shy |
18/1(+45%) | (14) Farhh To Shy 18/1, Useful mare who scored over 1m at Ascot (soft) and 7f at Yarmouth last summer. Ended her 2023 campaign with good thirds at Ascot (handicap/listed). Jockey Benoit de la Sayette is bidding to win this for the third time in the last 4 years. Some good form in 2023 but this 6yo mare may find today's company a shade too competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (18) (80/1 -100%) Hieronymus |
80/1(-100%) | (18) Hieronymus 80/1, Has been in good form with 2 AW wins at Kempton this year but shouldered with a 5 lb penalty as a result and likely to be up against it back on the grass. In good form on AW of late but 0-17 on turf and has career-high mark now back on grass. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (7) (11/1 +21%) Vetiver |
11/1(+21%) | (7) Vetiver 11/1, Three wins, notably a 7f Carlisle listed event on soft ground last June. Showed she can mix it in good handicaps when 2½ lengths fifth of 20 to The Gatekeeper in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) final outing. This is only her eighth start so may not have reached her limit. Solid 5th in Balmoral last time out; this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (9) (11/1 +21%) Blues Emperor |
11/1(+21%) | (9) Blues Emperor 11/1, Winner of 2 1m handicaps in Ireland last summer. Also excellent second of 20 in the Irish Cambridgeshire at the Curragh (1m, good) at the end of August. Ran poorly in a listed race final start but gone well fresh before and capable of bouncing back. Highly progressive in Irish handicaps last year; open to further improvement; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (8) (80/1 -142%) Revich |
80/1(-142%) | (8) Revich 80/1, Returned to winning ways when narrowly taking 9-runner handicap at Ayr (1m, good) in September. Below par on AW a month later and off since. Sixth is the best he's managed in 3 previous attempts in this race. Better than ever last year but has come up short in the last three runnings of this race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (2) (11/1 +0%) Johan |
11/1(+0%) | (2) Johan 11/1, Won this under Silvestre de Sousa 2 years ago and landed another big handicap when proving too strong for The Gatekeeper in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood on his 2023 reappearance. Fifth in Redcar listed only subsequent start. Good record fresh makes him tough to discount. Has won major handicaps on his last two reappearances; makes 2024 comeback today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (1) (20/1 -67%) Migration |
20/1(-67%) | (1) Migration 20/1, Very smart effort to defy top weight in this race on heavy ground a year ago, seeing off the reopposing Awaal. An even better performance will be needed off a 4 lb higher mark this time but can't be ruled out given how well he handles these conditions. Tongue tied first time. Won this race 12 months ago on his reappearance; major player if again at top of his game. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Chazzesmee justified strong market support to take the Irish Lincolnshire by a length on Monday and, providing that hasn't taken too much out of him, he could be a big player as he relishes these conditions. However, the vote goes to last year's winner of that Curragh contest LATTAM. The son of Lope De Vega clearly goes well fresh and he makes his return after finishing seventh behind The Gatekeeper at Ascot in October, for which he is 4lb better off. Last year's winner Migration and The Gatekeeper are others to watch out for.
LIBERTY LANE was impressive over this C&D on soft at last year's St Leger meeting and this relatively lightly-raced 4-y-o appeals as one who could have more to come in 2024. Chazzesmee was a good winner of the Irish version of this race on Monday and a 5 lb penalty won't prevent him making a bold bid for a notable double if coping with the quick turnaround. Awaal was second in this off an identical mark last year and also makes the shortlist along with Thunder Ball.
Having travelled well when winning the Irish Lincolnshire on Monday, CHAZZESMEE (nap) can defy a penalty and complete a notable double.

1st (6) (10/1 +0%) Moon Over Miami |
10/1(+0%) | (6) Moon Over Miami 10/1, €130,000 yearling. Half-brother to 9f-13f winner Forest of Wisdom and 11.5f/12.5f winner Veules. Good yard no stranger to success with newcomers but jockey bookings suggest that Aulis is the first-string. 130,000euros yearling; bred for this sort of distance and beyond; yard runs two. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/8 +50%) Harper's Ferry |
11/8(+50%) | (3) Harper's Ferry 11/8, Sent off at 50/1 on debut in a 1m Newmarket novice (good to soft) in October but that didn't stop him from running a big race, just failing to get to grips with an experienced rival and pulling nicely clear of the third. Holds an entry in the Derby and improvement should be forthcoming. 50-1 when a very promising second on only 2yo start; out of an Oaks winner; major chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (40/1 -150%) Liberty Coach |
40/1(-150%) | (5) Liberty Coach 40/1, 42,000 gns foal, 52,000 gns yearling. Brother to 1m winner Belief and half-brother half-sister to several winners, including 1m winner Divinity. Up against some promising/choicely-bred types here and he's entitled to come on for the run. 52,000gns yearling; bred to be useful and needs a market check on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 -78%) King's Reign |
4/1(-78%) | (4) King's Reign 4/1, Dubawi colt who cost 1,500,000 gns as a yearling and he's a half-brother to smart 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Silver Knott. Always on the backfoot after missing the break on debut at Wolverhampton (12.2f) but shaped encouragingly all the same and likely to leave that form well behind in time. Beautifully bred son of Dubawi; green on debut; no surprise at all if he improves markedly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (7/1 -17%) Wild Waves |
7/1(-17%) | (7) Wild Waves 7/1, Half-brother to several winners and shaped with clear promise in a couple of 7f novice events at Sandown last summer. This trip will be more his thing and should make his presence felt for yard that has won 2 of the last 4 running of this maiden. Stout pedigree suggests this trip will bring about improvement; yard targets this race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (7/2 +0%) Ancient Myth |
7/2(+0%) | (1) Ancient Myth 7/2, Fetched 425,000 gns as a yearling and shaped well when chasing home a very promising Godolphin colt on debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last month. Will be more street-wise now and he's a key player. Pleasing start when second at Wolverhampton; high on the list for an in-form stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (18/1 -100%) Aulis |
18/1(-100%) | (2) Aulis 18/1, Clear signs of ability in novice events at Newmarket (7f) and Kempton (1m) towards the backend of last year. This stiffer test could help unlock some improvement but he's probably more one for handicaps in due course. Some promise at 7f/1m as a 2yo and bred to relish today's extra yardage. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In what should be a very informative affair, it is hard to look past the once-raced HARPER'S FERRY. Ed Walker's charge made a pleasing start when finishing a narrow second over a mile at Newmarket last October and, with the promise of more to come now he's upped in trip, the son of Lope De Vega looks the one to side with. Better can be expected from 1,500,000gns purchase King's Reign, who kept on into fourth when sent off favourite for his debut over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month, while Moon Over Miami also commands respect.
Several promising types on show here with ANCIENT MYTH marginally preferred to Harper's Ferry. The latter is the only one of these with an entry in the Derby and he shaped with a great deal of promise on his sole 2-y-o start but Ancient Myth's debut at Wolverhampton was also very encouraging and the Godolphin colt who beat him that day could turn out to be pretty smart. King's Reign represents the 'boys in blue' in this maiden and he also respected, along with Wild Waves.
Top of the list is HARPER'S FERRY whose promising second at Newmarket last autumn came unheralded by the market.

1st (6) (7/1 -27%) Bustaam |
7/1(-27%) | (6) Bustaam 7/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who fared better than previously when fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) in November. Not seen to best effect at that venue later that month and suspicion he has an even bigger effort in his locker and one to note back on turf from career-low mark. Nothing special in 1m2f-1m4f Tapeta handicaps but gives impression he may do better yet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +56%) Moonlit Cloud |
4/1(+56%) | (3) Moonlit Cloud 4/1, Returned with a respectable fifth at Kempton (11f) in January and seemed unsuited by the steady gallop when running below that level back at that venue 31 days ago. Conditions will hold no fears back on turf though and he comes here on a workable mark. All three wins at 1m2f, including on heavy; can improve on recent AW runs now back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/2 +31%) Awtaad Prince |
9/2(+31%) | (7) Awtaad Prince 9/2, Winless last year but fallen plenty in the weights and capitalised (in first-time hood) when seeing off 8 rivals at Chelmsford (10f) in February. Creditable third at Lingfield (12f) since and he's still unexposed at this sort of trip. Tongue strap back on. Has won on heavy; took advantage of weights drop over 1m2f on AW last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (14/1 -40%) Powerful Response |
14/1(-40%) | (5) Powerful Response 14/1, Improved to land back-to-back handicaps at Newcastle/Hamilton last summer and made the frame next 3 starts at 1m. Possible he's not most straightforward but excuses on final start at Pontefract in October. Reappears for new yard now and the market may prove a useful guide. Two wins in 2023, over 7f (AW) and 1m (soft); much to prove for new yard up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (13/2 +35%) Fifty Sent |
13/2(+35%) | (12) Fifty Sent 13/2, Just the one win from 21 Flat runs (gained on AW) but proven with plenty of give underfoot and quickly dispelled a lesser effort (in first-time cheekpieces) when third of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) in January. This trip within range and each-way possibilities. Has run well on soft; sole win over 1m2f on AW last May but rarely tackles this far now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (6/1 -167%) At Liberty |
6/1(-167%) | (2) At Liberty 6/1, 3-time winner on turf for Michael Bell who opened account for present yard at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 3 weeks ago. Produced another solid display when runner-up back at that venue (9.5f) 2 weeks ago and worth considering back on turf with cheekpieces refitted. Solid 1m2f turf form; acts on soft; in good form on Tapeta and looks sure to go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (14/1 +13%) Distinction |
14/1(+13%) | (11) Distinction 14/1, Twice successful on AW this winter, the latest at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January. Some way below that level in 2 subsequent outings and whilst he's proven on this sort of ground, he does need to step up to feature. Two AW wins this winter but below best on last 2 starts and turf win was back in 2021. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (14/1 -40%) City Escape |
14/1(-40%) | (10) City Escape 14/1, Back-to-back winner of heavy ground handicaps at Ffos Las (10f) late last summer and ran creditably next 3 starts returned to AW. Hasn't figured in pair of starts at Wolverhampton in recent weeks but fallen back down to last winning mark and conditions will hold no fears. Back on the same mark as the second of two 1m2f wins (heavy/soft) in August and September. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (33/1 -175%) Natchez Trace |
33/1(-175%) | (1) Natchez Trace 33/1, Resumed winning ways from the front at Southwell (12f) last June and similar form when placed at Chester (12.3f) a month later. Efforts proved mixed tried at up to 2m on turf/AW thereafter and whilst the handicapper has given him a chance, this run may bring him on. Latest 3 wins at about 1m4f on AW; 1-21 on turf and soft ground no obvious asset. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (16/1 +20%) Vellner |
16/1(+20%) | (4) Vellner 16/1, 10f maiden winner in Ireland as a 3-y-o for P. Twomey. Low-key start for present yard since the autumn but he did at least finish closer than previously when 4 lengths fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 17 days ago. Still, others preferred. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Won 1m2f maiden in Ireland; had some heavy defeats but didn't look a lost cause latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (9/1 +10%) Mrs Meader |
9/1(+10%) | (8) Mrs Meader 9/1, 3-time winner during 2022. Mark suffered as a result but largely consistent without tasting success last term, creditable fourth at Windsor (11.5f) in October. Never threatened at Newcastle final start but conditions will hold no fears on return and the assessor is relinquishing his grip. No problem with trip or surface and 6lb lower than 12 months ago; revival not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (20/1 -25%) Franco Grasso |
20/1(-25%) | (9) Franco Grasso 20/1, Both career victories to date have come at Yarmouth but comes here having ran with credit in finishing midfield in handicaps at Southwell/Wolverhampton this winter. However, still has to prove his effectiveness on ground this testing. Stout stayer who probably handles soft; good 5th over inadequate 1m1f on AW latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In a typically wide-open affair, the drop in trip may prove fruitful for connections of AWTAAD PRINCE. Amy Murphy's charge arrives on the back of a solid third over 1m4f at Lingfield and, off an unchanged mark back on the turf, he gets the vote to show his rivals the way home. Dangers are aplenty and headed by At Liberty, who races off just 1lb higher than when finishing an excellent second at Wolverhampton most recently, while Fifty Sent kept on well for third over a mile at Newcastle when last seen and now looks the perfect time to go back up to 10 furlongs.
David O'Meara has his string in good order and it could be worth chancing his 4-y-o BUSTAAM. He shaped with definite encouragement on his penultimate start at Newcastle in November and, with his subsequent run at that venue best overlooked, he's of interest back on turf from a career-low mark. At Liberty arrives fit and in-form from the all-weather and he's a player in refitted cheekpieces. Moonlit Cloud and Mrs Meader complete the shortlist.
A few of these will handle the conditions, including AT LIBERTY who may well improve on his recent AW form now back on turf.

Vecchio |
(3) (20/1 +39%)20/1(+39%) | (3) Vecchio 20/1, Ran to a fairly useful level when trained by Freddie & Martyn Meade but has finished down the field both starts for current yard this year. Step up in trip not enough to tempt. Promising 2yo; not disgraced for new yard on AW this year but question mark about new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (8) (4/1 -45%) Destinado |
4/1(-45%) | (8) Destinado 4/1, Has thrived since joining his current yard, recording a fourth win of the year when scoring in good style at Southwell (11.1f) in February. Has run well both starts since, only narrowly denied at the same C&D a week ago. Major player with the visor back on. Four wins already for new yard this year; 0-11 on turf but had soft-ground form in France. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (17/2 +15%) Big Bear Hug |
17/2(+15%) | (2) Big Bear Hug 17/2, Off the mark at Leicester last May and, in first-time cheekpieces, doubled her tally at Newmarket (8f, soft) in November. Below form at Kempton on her final outing, but conditions should suit after 4 month-absence (headgear left off but she ran well first time up last year). Both wins over 1m on soft/heavy; beaten significant distances on last 3 runs over 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (8/1 -78%) Chagall |
8/1(-78%) | (7) Chagall 8/1, Ended 2023 on a high, making it back-to-back wins with success at Lingfield (12f) in December. Has been shaping up well this year, needing a stronger gallop when runner-up at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 3 weeks agao. Not taken lightly. Modest turf strike-rate of 2-32 but has won on heavy and in good form at 1m4f on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (8/1 +68%) Corsican Caper |
8/1(+68%) | (12) Corsican Caper 8/1, Finally opened his account in minor event at Southwell (12.1f) in January. However, he hasn't gone on from that effort since, 6 lengths eighth of 10 to Destinado in handicap at the same course (11.1f) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces need to help spark a return to form. Won 1m2f classified on AW in January; not held his form since; 3lb wrong back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (13/2 +68%) Molly Valentine |
13/2(+68%) | (4) Molly Valentine 13/2, Improved when winning handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in April last year and backed up that effort when making the frame next 2 starts. However, ended 2023 with a lesser run and went backwards from her reappearance at Lingfield last month. Others more persuasive. Two wins at 6f (AW) and 1m (soft); stamina questioned on three runs at 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (5/1 +29%) Val Bassett |
5/1(+29%) | (1) Val Bassett 5/1, Fairly useful winner in France who continued to fall in the weights for his current yard last season. In first-time visor, failed to build on the promise of his fourth at Thirsk when never involved at Redcar in August, but he's not discounted on his return. Scraps of form for new yard in 2023; 13lb lower than fair 1m2f reappearance last April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (40/1 -60%) Clipsham Gold |
40/1(-60%) | (6) Clipsham Gold 40/1, Sixteen runs since her last win in 2023 and ran poorly on first start since leaving Dylan Cunha when failing to beat a rival at Southwell (8.1f) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal as she goes back up in trip with the hood reapplied. Four wins at 7f-1m; well held on debut for new yard; stamina worries at 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (33/1 -175%) Orange Martini |
33/1(-175%) | (5) Orange Martini 33/1, Made the frame twice in handicaps for Andrew Balding last year, but after 3 months off she possibly needed the run on her stable debut when sixth of 7 at Kempton (12f) in February. Hood now reached for as she drops back in trip. Conditions likely to suit; well treated and could revive on 2nd run for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (15/2 -36%) Fen Tiger |
15/2(-36%) | (10) Fen Tiger 15/2, Three-time winner of 12f handicaps (all on ground softer than good) in 2022 and returned to form on his final 2 starts last season, hitting the crossbar at Carlisle and Brighton. Task is now to pick up where he left off on his reappearance. All 3 wins at 1m4f; acts well in the mud and proven stamina an asset in the conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (15/2 +46%) Zambezi Magic |
15/2(+46%) | (11) Zambezi Magic 15/2, Won twice at Ffos Las (both 10f) in summer 2022 but has been below that level since returning from almost year off the track, ninth of 11 at Kempton (11f) last time. Continues to fall in the weights without looking like taking advantage. Quiet since back from 11 months off in October but well treated and conditions will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (11/1 -144%) Eleven Eleven |
11/1(-144%) | (9) Eleven Eleven 11/1, Had dropped to a career-low mark and took advantage when winning at Newcastle on 2 of his first 3 starts of the year. Quickly left behind a lesser efffort when a close third at the same course (7.1f) 15 days ago, so he's one to consider back up in trip. Two AW wins this year at 1m and 7f; unconvincing in most attempts beyond about 1m. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DESTINADO gave the impression that his turn could be just around the corner when finishing second over 1m3f at Southwell last week, pulling clear with the eventual winner. Off a 1lb higher mark, he can make this return to turf a winning one. The forecast underfoot conditions should hold no fears for Fen Tiger, who was last seen finishing a close second over 1m4f at Brighton in September. He rates the main danger to the selection, while Val Bassett represents an in-form stable and completes the shortlist.
DESTINADO has been in fine form on the all-weather this year, winning 4 times and pulling clear of the rest when runner-up at Southwell last week, so he is taken to add to his tally back on turf. Chagall hasn't been seen to best effect on his last couple of starts and is respected, while Eleven Eleven is another who enters calculations.
Destinado comes here in good form from the AW but VAL BASSETT will be suited by conditions and is well treated now.
