---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (12) (6/1 +45%) Bantry |
6/1(+45%) | (12) Bantry 6/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Hooded for first time, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (7f) 51 days ago, nearest finish. Well-run race over this trip will suit. Is 0-16 but encouraging fifth at Kempton last month; not ruled out if he can build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/3 +39%) Ring Of Gold |
10/3(+39%) | (6) Ring Of Gold 10/3, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Shaped quite well when fifth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 17 days ago, running on. Lurks on a dangerous mark returned to turf with blinkers removed. On a long losing sequence but he arrives in decent nick; one for the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (11/1 -57%) Darbucks |
11/1(-57%) | (9) Darbucks 11/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy, 3/1) when last seen in October, posted wide throughout. Consistent sort in 2023 who can't be discounted on his seasonal return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (7/2 +22%) Tees George |
7/2(+22%) | (11) Tees George 7/2, Sent off 13/8 but failed to meet market expectations when fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 59 days ago. Better expected on turf. Only fifth in 7f Southwell handicap in February; he needs to bounce back after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 -25%) Original Thinker |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Original Thinker 10/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/1). Off 6 months and has a career-low mark to work with. In good form until only seventh at Wolverhampton in October; not ruled out on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (22/1 -83%) Bobby Shaft |
22/1(-83%) | (4) Bobby Shaft 22/1, C&D winner. 50/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, fifth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 17 days ago, nearest finish and ultimately not achieving a great deal. C&D scorer who was tried in cheekpieces when below-par fifth in Thirsk h'cap on his return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (16/1 -60%) To The Bar |
16/1(-60%) | (7) To The Bar 16/1, Latest win at Newcastle in February. 6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 25 days ago. Blinkers back on for this rare turf outing. Won at Newcastle in February but twice below par since; blinkers refitted back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (8/1 -129%) Nights Over Egypt |
8/1(-129%) | (2) Nights Over Egypt 8/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 11/1) 17 days ago. Retains handicap scope now he's back in good order. Gained his breakthrough victory at Thirsk latest; not taken lightly despite back up 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (14/1 -100%) King Of Ithaca |
14/1(-100%) | (1) King Of Ithaca 14/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 11/2) 20 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Should last longer this time with that under his belt and a hood is now on back on turf. Encouraging seventh at Chelmsford on return; very much one to consider with a hood added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (12/1 +0%) Pocket The Packet |
12/1(+0%) | (10) Pocket The Packet 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 7¼ lengths eighth of 13 to Nights Over Egypt in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 28/1) 17 days ago, never nearer. Much more needed to reverse that form. Yet to score for his current yard and well below par in two 6f handicaps this spring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (20/1 +20%) Eleven Eleven |
20/1(+20%) | (8) Eleven Eleven 20/1, Last of 11 in handicap at this course (10.2f, heavy, 11/1) 34 days ago, doing too much too soon. Significantly back down in trip and a better showing should be forthcoming. Ridden too aggressively when finishing last here in March; he's the sort to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Nights Over Egypt finally got off the mark when utilising his stamina at Thirsk over 6f in testing conditions and he is likely to enter calculations again off a 2lb higher mark. However, a chance is taken on DARBUCKS, who was knocking on the door at the back end of last season, including when first past the post at Ayr before being demoted to second, and he is worth forgiving his final effort at Catterick. The five-year-old remains capable of further improvement, while others to note include Eleven Eleven and Ring Of Gold.
NIGHTS OVER EGYPT displayed a willing attitude when opening his account at Thirsk 17 days ago and given the mark he'd dropped to, he retains plenty of handicap scope. King of Ithaca eases in class and he should run much closer to form this time, with Bantry completing the shortlist.
James Tate's KING OF ITHACA teed himself up well for this when an encouraging Chelmsford seventh on his return and he edges the verdict

1st (1) (12/1 -20%) Onemorenomore |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Onemorenomore 12/1, Course winner last September. Went close at Pontefract next time. Not so good on AW final start but claims if ready to roll on return. Course win at the Leger meeting; poor run on AW when last seen 190 days ago; ground a ?. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (12/1 -71%) Mister Sox |
12/1(-71%) | (7) Mister Sox 12/1, 9/2, ninth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy) on reappearance 17 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces back on. Should be sharper now. Of interest on last year's best, including C&D; sharper for his return; change of headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7/1 +13%) Alseeyerthere |
7/1(+13%) | (6) Alseeyerthere 7/1, Won at Redcar (7f) last June. Respectable 1¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Shark Two One in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) on final start. Reached the frame on last year's reappearance and her stable won this race last year. 7f winner last summer and ended 2023 with a close 4th at Leicester; more to come; ground?. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (40/1 -21%) Shotley Royale |
40/1(-21%) | (12) Shotley Royale 40/1, Poor maiden. 20/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 18 days ago. Lots to prove but down in the weights and getting back on slow ground could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (9/1 +10%) Asadjumeirah |
9/1(+10%) | (10) Asadjumeirah 9/1, Thirty seven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 6 days ago. Hard to win with and stepping up to 7f isn't sure to be of benefit; down in class at least. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (17/2 -13%) Five Winds |
17/2(-13%) | (3) Five Winds 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 15 on Chelmsford handicap debut (7f, 22/1) 28 days ago. Makes turf debut. That was a competitive race and she could have a big say if proving as effective on the grass. Promise in qualifying runs and fair 4th in a deep race on h'cap debut; first crack on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (14/1 -40%) Juryman |
14/1(-40%) | (5) Juryman 14/1, Unreliable type but did win over C&D (heavy) for William Jarvis last spring. Lost her way at the end of the season but back on a good mark as a result and needs a betting check on return for a new stable. C&D win on soft one year ago; big chance on that form; market useful on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (10/1 +38%) Believe You Me |
10/1(+38%) | (8) Believe You Me 10/1, Won over this trip at Chepstow last summer. Blinkered first time, seventh of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (7f) final start. Headgear off on return from 163 days off. Easy win at Chepstow last summer (7f, good to soft) but she's found it tougher going since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (9/4 +18%) Ratafia |
9/4(+18%) | (4) Ratafia 9/4, Made it 3 wins in last 4 starts when seeing off 8 rivals on 7f Newcastle reappearance 32 days ago. Looked to do that a shade cosily so a 2 lb nudge may not prevent him going in again. Thriving over 7f now and mark still looks in range; big chance providing they don't dawdle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (14/1 +13%) Shark Two One |
14/1(+13%) | (9) Shark Two One 14/1, Latest win at Leicester in October. 14/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) on reappearance 23 days ago. May come on for the outing. Two 7f wins last autumn; feasible mark if recent return has blown away the cobwebs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (14/1 +0%) Biplane |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Biplane 14/1, Two wins at the start of last summer. Hasn't threatened in her 3 outings this year and can only watch for now. Quiet on AW this year but down in grade and has run well here in the past; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (8/1 -100%) Warrior Square |
8/1(-100%) | (11) Warrior Square 8/1, Goes in search of a hat-trick after 7f wins at Kempton (classified) and Southwell (handicap) this year. Should go well if proving as effective on turf. 2-2 since fitted with a visor; could stil have more to come; contender. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
RATAFIA hasn't looked back since gaining his first career success at Redcar in October, recording a pair of victories on the all-weather at Newcastle since. The most recent of those came after a break last month and the six-year-old, whose dam also relished plenty of cut in the ground when taking a Listed contest here in 2014, is likely to have further progression to come. Onemorenomore scored at the St Leger meeting in September and is respected on his first appearance since October. The hat-trick seeking Warrior Square and Five Winds complete the shortlist.
RATAFIA is on a roll and a small rise for Newcastle may not prevent him making it 4 wins in his last 5 starts. Warrior Square is another in the winning groove at present and is second choice ahead of Five Winds, who is much less exposed than most of these and made a solid start to her handicap career at Chelmsford over Easter.
Alseeyerthere can do better this year but the thriving RATAFIA (nap) is fancied to make it four wins in his last five starts.

1st (1) (7/2 +13%) Balmacara |
7/2(+13%) | (1) Balmacara 7/2, Confirmed debut promise after 5 months off when taking C&D novice 5 weeks ago, again plenty keen enough but proving game. Could be useful if he can settle down. Won C&D novice latest; open to further progress so must enter calculations under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (20/1 +39%) Surrey Shadow |
20/1(+39%) | (9) Surrey Shadow 20/1, 10,000 gns yearling: 65,000 gns 2-y-o, Territories gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner in France up to 6f Wind Test. Newcomer to monitor in the betting. Half-brother to four winners so this Territories gelding is no forlorn hope. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (15/2 -173%) Stanage |
15/2(-173%) | (8) Stanage 15/2, Kingman colt. Brother to very smart 6f winner Calyx and useful winner up to 1m Coppice. Dam 2-y-o 6f-1m winner. Plenty to like on paper and belated debut for yard that has done well with some good newcomers here. Brother to very smart 6f winner Calyx; in excellent hands and a fascinating newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (50/1 +24%) Zenzic |
50/1(+24%) | (10) Zenzic 50/1, 46,000 gns yearling, Territories colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful French/US winner up to 8.5f winner Light In Paris, placed in US Grade 3 8.5f events. A half-brother to three French winners; betting can prove an accurate indicator. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (4/1 +60%) Nazionale |
4/1(+60%) | (7) Nazionale 4/1, €90,000 yearling, Ten Sovereigns colt. Half-brother to very smart 9f-10.5f winner Via Sistina, from the family of Kingsgate Native. 10/1, showed plenty of ability despite looking very green early on when third in 7f Kempton novice won by So Quiet on debut. Seems sure to improve. Shaped well on first run when third in Kempton novice; one to consider with more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (14/1 -180%) Midnight's Dream |
14/1(-180%) | (5) Midnight's Dream 14/1, 125,000 gns yearling, Cappella Sansevero colt. Half-brother to smart 5f/5.7f winner White Lavender. Popular in the betting but couldn't lay a glove on 2000 Guineas fancy Night Raider in 7f Southwell novice on debut in December. Will improve. Promising debut second at Southwell; bold show is on the cards from this Dark Angel colt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (28/1 -12%) Jazz Scene |
28/1(-12%) | (4) Jazz Scene 28/1, Too Darn Hot gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 11f winner One Evening and useful 1m winner Random Harvest. Too Darn Holt gelding; lots to like on pedigree and market can guide on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (6/1 +8%) So Quiet |
6/1(+8%) | (2) So Quiet 6/1, Confirmed debut promise to get off the mark in the style of a useful prospect in 7f Kempton novice last month, readily coming clear. Should progress again now switched to turf. Readily landed 7f Kempton novice; form has been franked so he's not taken lightly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (250/1 -150%) Daring Leader |
250/1(-150%) | (3) Daring Leader 250/1, Well held in 7f Southwell events. Never a threat in a pair of 7f Southwell novices this spring; can do better in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (12/1 -20%) Mono River |
12/1(-20%) | (6) Mono River 12/1, €160,000 yearling, Zarak gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Queen of Bermuda and 2-y-o 5f winner Crazyland, both useful. Highly respected on debut. Zarak gelding; in excellent hands so he's a much respected debutant. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (10/3 -21%) Upscale |
10/3(-21%) | (11) Upscale 10/3, Promising second of 6 to smart Dance Sequence in 7f Newmarket maiden on debut (13/2) in July, green and not knocked about. Not seen since but can improve plenty if all is well. Shaped well when debut second in 7f Newmarket maiden; off 10 months but not discounted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Balmacara built on the promise of his debut third at Newmarket when displaying a fine attitude over C&D to gain a first career victory. His ability to handle the ground will be very much in his favour, but having to shoulder a penalty in what might turn out to be a fairly deep contest could prove to be his undoing. Juddmonte boast two obvious chances with Upscale, who was runner-up on her sole start to leading 1000 Guineas contender Dance Sequence at Newmarket, and STANAGE. The latter gets the vote as he is expected to be streetwise enough for this, especially with his close relatives Coventry winner Calyx and Sandringham heroine Coppice both winners on their racecourse debuts.
MIDNIGHT'S DREAM found only 2000 Guineas fancy Night Raider too strong on debut at Southwell and seems sure to improve, so could be the way to go. This might be a good novice though, and solid cases can also be made for Upscale, newcomer Stanage and Balmacara.
The Gosdens' Kingman newcomer STANAGE, a brother to the very smart Calyx no less, rates a most interesting prospect and gets the vote.

1st (2) (4/1 +0%) Cherry Burton |
4/1(+0%) | (2) Cherry Burton 4/1, 110,000 gns yearling, Cracksman filly. Half-sister to several useful winners. Backed at long odds upped to this sort of trip on return at Southwell, still looking green. Open to further improvement switched to turf. Ptomising third in Southwell maiden last month; she can do better still on her turf debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/10 -51%) Juneberry |
11/10(-51%) | (3) Juneberry 11/10, Really well-bred filly who has looked green in a couple of AW fillies' novice events 5 months apart, beaten by a pair of promising newcomers in a 1-2-3 for Godolphin at Kempton (11f, favourite) on return. More to come. Shaped well when third in Kempton novice; form been franked so she rates a big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 +85%) Shadowofyoursmile |
5/1(+85%) | (4) Shadowofyoursmile 5/1, From a good family for owners but slowly away and little impact in 2 AW novice events at the turn of the year. Last of seven in Southwell novice in January; she needs to take a big step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 -78%) Twilight Vision |
4/1(-78%) | (5) Twilight Vision 4/1, 200,000 gns foal, 360,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Dam smart 7f-11.6f winner. Appealing newcomer on paper. Sea The Stars filly; lots to like on paper and in good hands so an interesting newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (33/1 +67%) Charlotte's Luck |
33/1(+67%) | (1) Charlotte's Luck 33/1, Modest maiden, well held on return at Bath in the mud. Up in trip with hood tried. Oaks entry looks fanciful. Last of five in 1m Bath maiden on her return; hood is reached for. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
JUNEBERRY confirmed the promise that she displayed on debut last year when a respectable third at Kempton a few weeks ago and the daughter of Night Of Thunder could be hard to beat in this company. Cherry Burton could prove to be the main threat to the selection following her third at Southwell last time, while Twilight Vision is a newcomer to note.
JUNEBERRY still looked to be learning on her return at Kempton and makes plenty of appeal back on turf with that under her belt. Twilight Vision is an appealing newcomer on paper, while Cherry Burton should have more to offer.
The Gosdens' JUNEBERRY made a promising return when third at Kempton (form franked) so is impossible to side against with more to come.

1st (4) (10/3 -33%) Our Golden One |
10/3(-33%) | (4) Our Golden One 10/3, Confirmed previous encouragement when winning 6-runner maiden (4/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy). Off 6 months. Up in trip for handicap debut and pedigree gives her the scope for more progress. Bagged 1m Nottingham maiden in October; open to further progress up in trip; big shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 +25%) Mafnood |
6/1(+25%) | (1) Mafnood 6/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 17/2), taking time to get going. Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip. May do better as a 3yo. Fair 1m winner at 2yrs; longer trip promises to suit so much respected after gelding op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (10/1 -67%) Timetobenice |
10/1(-67%) | (6) Timetobenice 10/1, Winner at Kempton in November. 6/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 15 days ago. Remains with potential and shouldn't be ruled out. Reappeared with solid Southwell fourth on h'cap debut; can do better still so considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/4 +50%) Let's Dream |
11/4(+50%) | (2) Let's Dream 11/4, Lightly-raced winner. Very good second of 5 in nursery at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 2/1), clear of rest. Off 6 months. Should be on the premises if he's tuned up. Progressive Territories colt; excellent Nottingham 2nd in final 2yo run; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (4/1 +33%) Superposition |
4/1(+33%) | (3) Superposition 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in maiden (9/1) at Sandown (8f, soft). Off 7 months. Not dismissed switched to handicaps/upped in trip. Good fourth in 1m Sandown maiden in September; very much one to consider going h'capping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/1 -38%) Alpen Power |
9/1(-38%) | (5) Alpen Power 9/1, Good third of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 9/1) 28 days ago. Merits consideration for all that others have a bit more potential. Very good third at Chelmsford on return; can go well again despite a 3lb weights rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (11/1 +31%) Elemental Eye |
11/1(+31%) | (8) Elemental Eye 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in minor event at Catterick (7f, heavy, 5/1) 23 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly up in trip. Not easy to make a case for. Very slowly away when 8th at Catterick on return; worth another chance on first go at 10f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
OUR GOLDEN ONE accounted for a decent field when winning on her final start as a juvenile over an extended 1m at Nottingham. The step up in trip should help the daughter of Golden Horn and an opening mark of 79 may underestimate her ability. Too Bossy For Us put in a career-best when third at Kempton last month and he has to be of interest on his handicap bow. Others to note are Alpen Power and Let's Dream.
OUR GOLDEN ONE was progressive last season and the form of her Nottingham success 6 months ago has been boosted since, so she's preferred to Too Bossy For Us, who should benefit from the step up in trip switched to handicaps. Timetobenice is also considered.
Tom Ward's Golden Horn filly OUR GOLDEN ONE can follow up her Nottingham maiden win now handicapping with this longer trip a big plus.

7/1(-17%) | (6) Turner Girl 7/1, Creditable sixth of 16 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 28 days ago. Back down in trip and visor on 1st time. Should make her presence felt. Reliable sort who posted a solid sixth at Chelmsford latest; she's in the picture. |

2nd (1) (4/5 +57%) Ya Hafhd |

10/3(+33%) | (4) Throubi 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 65 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Hood back on. Expected to be bang there. Encouraging seventh on her handicap debut at Kempton in February; must enter calculations. |

4th (3) (25/1 -150%) Arctic Fox |
25/1(-150%) | (3) Arctic Fox 25/1, Below form sixth of 11 in novice hurdle (7/1) at Wetherby (19.7f, good). Off 6 months (creditable effort on latest start in this sphere) and she's in with a shout. Winless since 2022 but showed fair form last term, including over hurdles; possibilities. |

5th (9) (8/1 +60%) Vallamorey |
8/1(+60%) | (9) Vallamorey 8/1, C&D winner. 25/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, heavy) 24 days ago. Bit to prove at present. C&D winner but out of sorts for her current yard; others are preferred. |

6th (7) (66/1 -230%) Platinum Jubilee |

Something to find on form. Beat only one on yard debut at Bath (10f) 19 days ago; she has a bit to prove now. |

7th (5) (28/1 -40%) Princess Niyla |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Princess Niyla 28/1, Visored for 1st time, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 18/1). Off 128 days ahead of this debut for new yard and she's opposable. Kept her form well for Hugo Palmer in 2023; she's no forlorn hope for her new handler. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
YA HAFHD took a step forward when getting off the mark over 1m3f at Southwell in December on just her second start. Roger Varian's filly is likely to have more improvement left to come and a mark of 75 should be workable on her handicap bow. Prisha is also unexposed and should not be underestimated, while Throubi edges out Turner Girl to be best of the rest.
YA HAFHD still looked pretty raw when landing a Southwell novice in December and, with improvement on the cards now pitched into a handicap, she looks the way to go. Though below par last time, Throubi will be a threat if she puts her best foot forward and cases can also be made for both Prisha and D Day Arvalenreeva.
Roger Varian's Sea The Stars filly YA HAFHD is much the least exposed and hard to side against on the back of her Southwell success.

1st (16) (6/4 +50%) Fiddlers Green |
6/4(+50%) | (16) Fiddlers Green 6/4, Got back on the up having his first try at this sort of trip on turf when winning 13-runner handicap (4/1) at Bath (11.6f, good to soft) 7 days ago, leading over 2f out then forging clear. Escapes a penalty for that success so he's high on the shortlist. Easy win at Bath last Friday and escapes a penalty; tough to beat if repeating the form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (14/1 -75%) Waxing Gibbous |
14/1(-75%) | (7) Waxing Gibbous 14/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who has shown ability in 3 maiden/novice runs and rates a likely improver now handicapping after 6 months off against largely more exposed opposition. Encouraging third on debut last August; could be back on slow ground for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (16/1 -100%) Animato |
16/1(-100%) | (6) Animato 16/1, C&D winner in 2022. 17/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, shaped well from easing mark when fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) just under 2 weeks ago, ideally needing stronger gallop. Not out of things. On a long losing run but close fourth off this reduced mark at Chelmsford recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (18/1 -13%) Abu Royal |
18/1(-13%) | (8) Abu Royal 18/1, Played a very minor role when seventh of 13 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, heavy, 9/1) 19 days ago. Tough ask. In good form on AW earlier this year and heavy ground may not have suited last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (4/1 +11%) Clear White Light |
4/1(+11%) | (9) Clear White Light 4/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles in December. 15/8 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ridden more positively than previously on the Flat when winning 11-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, heavy) 23 days ago. Remains unexposed in this sphere. Won on Flat at Catterick last time and remains well treated judged on his hurdling ability. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (18/1 +10%) Clever Relation |
18/1(+10%) | (4) Clever Relation 18/1, Made a winning debut at Windsor 12 months ago but soundly beaten on 3 subsequent starts (in blinkers for handicap bow 8 months ago). Best watched on reappearance. Won on debut at Windsor; disappointing since but first time up may be time to catch him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (16/1 +36%) Bearaway |
16/1(+36%) | (14) Bearaway 16/1, Dual winner for Hughie Morrison who has yet to scale same heights for new yard, below form when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) just under 7 weeks ago, beaten when hampered briefly final 1f. Back up in trip for return to turf and mark continues to ease. Cheekpieces reapplied. Could be helped by this step back up in trip but he has a regressive profile. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (22/1 -57%) Damascus Steel |
22/1(-57%) | (12) Damascus Steel 22/1, 17/2, shaped as if badly needing the run after 6 months off when last of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, heavy) 24 days ago. Now 2 lb below his last winning mark but needs to show more. May have needed this month's reappearance and he's on a handy mark on last year's form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (15) (33/1 -65%) Mythical |
33/1(-65%) | (15) Mythical 33/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good to firm) when last seen 10 months ago, again failing to impress with his head carriage. Encouraging signs last May/June but absent since and has a poor strike-rate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (33/1 -313%) Upepo |
33/1(-313%) | (11) Upepo 33/1, Latest win at Lingfield in January and shaped as if still in good form back up in trip when third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 9/4) just over 5 weeks ago. Yet to finish out of the places in 5 starts this term, so holds sound each-way claims back on turf. Has done well on AW since joining this yard and showed promise on turf last spring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (12/1 -50%) Story Horse |
12/1(-50%) | (2) Story Horse 12/1, Supported and backed up previous effort returned to maiden company when second of 12 (6/4) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 4 months ago, simply no match for a less-exposed improver (who has won again since). Each-way claims back in a handicap. Lightly raced 4yo who was 2nd on AW on final two runs last year; could have part to play. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (125/1 -279%) Royal Observatory |
125/1(-279%) | (10) Royal Observatory 125/1, Comfortably held in 2 bumpers/3 All-Weather starts. Hard to see him involved back up in trip on handicap debut. Has shown hints of promise and he's not ruled out on this handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (100/1 -300%) Sea Master |
100/1(-300%) | (13) Sea Master 100/1, Largely disappointing in light 2023 campaign, typically lacking a change of gear when fourth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good, 6/1) when last seen 10 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Johnston. Uphill task. Failed to threaten on his three outings last year and needs a bigger performance on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (1) (13/2 +19%) A Gift Of Love |
13/2(+19%) | (1) A Gift Of Love 13/2, Promising daughter of Frankel who offered plenty to work on when second on yard debut in a Newcastle maiden (12.5f) in November. Offered hope of better still when third on qualifying run at Southwell (11.1f) in December and of firm interest now attentions switch to handicaps on turf debut. Hood on. Frankel filly whose pedigree provides hope she'll be better than her opening mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (3) (33/1 -106%) Lawmaker |
33/1(-106%) | (3) Lawmaker 33/1, Opened his account on handicap debut at Kempton in January but hasn't gone on, only sixth of 8 back there (16f) 30 days ago. Back down in trip. Defied absence to win in January but soundly beaten the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (5) (50/1 -100%) Regally Blonde |
50/1(-100%) | (5) Regally Blonde 50/1, Fairly useful winner on Flat in Ireland. Campaigned mostly over hurdles for current yard (has made minimal impact in handicaps this season) and others make more appeal returned to the level. 1m5f win in 2022; hasn't really shone over hurdles this year and claims aren't compelling. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FIDDLERS GREEN toyed with his rivals at Bath last week and didn't have to break sweat to saunter almost nine lengths clear of the runner-up. He escapes a penalty for that demolition job so is 10lb well-in compared to his revised mark. This contest is much more competitive, though, and Clear White Light returned to Flat action to justify favouritism at Catterick, while Upepo has been in fine form on the all-weather. Story Horse and handicap debutants A Gift Of Love and Waxing Gibbous have to be considered closely too.
FIDDLERS GREEN opened his account on turf in emphatic fashion in a weak contest at Bath last week and escaping a penalty for that success, John O'Shea's 5-y-o gets the nod to follow up at the expense of A Gift of Love, who is open to improvement making her handicap/turf debut for the in-form Charlie Fellowes. Clear White Light, Story Horse and Upepo are a handful of others to consider, too.
Preference is for CLEAR WHITE LIGHT, who won on the Flat at Catterick last time and remains well treated on his hurdling ability.

1st (10) (15/8 +44%) Flying Finn |
15/8(+44%) | (10) Flying Finn 15/8, Justified short odds (4/5) when making a successful handicap debut in 6-runner event at Ripon (8f, heavy) 8 days ago, making running and going clear over 1f out. Holds leading claims under a penalty. Scored in great style on Ripon h'cap debut eight days ago; leading claims under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (12/1 -50%) Keep Warm |
12/1(-50%) | (9) Keep Warm 12/1, Won twice at Pontefract last year and, after 7 months off, ran well having attracted strong support (11/4) when fourth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 17 days ago. Can give his running again with the visor back on. Resumed with good Thirsk fourth 17 days ago; can go well again with usual visor back on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (18/1 -50%) Burdett |
18/1(-50%) | (1) Burdett 18/1, Progressive in 3 starts last year, successful at Ffos Las on his second outing. Probably needed the run after 6 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/2) 30 days ago, so he could fare better this time. Off six months before sixth of seven at Kempton 30 days ago; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (6/1 +70%) Straight A |
6/1(+70%) | (4) Straight A 6/1, Won at Yarmouth on his second start and ran well when fourth in a Thirsk nursery in September. Ridden too aggressively when eleventh of 16 in minor event at York (7f, heavy, 25/1) on his final outing. Gelded ahead of his return. A fair 6f winner at 2yrs; since gelded and he's no forlorn hope on his seasonal return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 +0%) Asimov |
7/1(+0%) | (2) Asimov 7/1, After 4 months off, took another step forward when fourth of 11 in maiden (7/1) at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago. One to consider as he makes his handicap debut. Resumed with good Kempton fourth; in the picture with more to offer on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (18/1 -227%) Rukaana |
18/1(-227%) | (8) Rukaana 18/1, Prominent in the betting (3/1) and duly showed much improved form when winning 10-runner nursery (3/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in October, readily. Not taken lightly after 6 months off (has been gelded). Readily off the mark at Wolver in October; hiked up 10lb but since gelded and in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (12/1 -50%) Sir Gabrial |
12/1(-50%) | (5) Sir Gabrial 12/1, Winner at Newcastle last year and shaped well on his seasonal/handicap debut when fourth of 9 at Southwell (8.1f, 9/1) 2 weeks ago, making promising mid-race move having been very slowly away. Open to further improvement. Improving Havana Grey colt; excellent Southwell 4th latest; capable of better; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (33/1 -175%) Duke Wellington |
33/1(-175%) | (11) Duke Wellington 33/1, Encouragement on first 2 starts but couldn't quite improve on those efforts when fourth of 10 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 9/1) a month ago. Remains with potential as he makes the switch to handicaps. Creditable fourth in Southwell maiden latest; can do better up to 1m on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (13/2 -8%) Chequers Court |
13/2(-8%) | (7) Chequers Court 13/2, Promising fourth at Newbury on debut but wasn't able to find any progress in his 2 subesquent outings, sixth of 10 in minor event at Salisbury (8f, heavy, 3/1) in October. Could yet do better as he goes handicapping, though. Fair form shown as a juvenile; sort to take a step forward now into handicap company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (12/1 +0%) Wait And Hope |
12/1(+0%) | (12) Wait And Hope 12/1, Made a winning start in handicaps at Kempton in January and has run creditably all 3 races since, third of 8 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/2) 34 days ago. Needs to find more as he makes only his second start on turf. Kickstarted 2024 with Kempton win in January and has kept his form well since; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (66/1 -65%) Etihad Rail |
66/1(-65%) | (13) Etihad Rail 66/1, Best effort when runner-up at Leicester last summer (trained by Marcus Tregoning first 3 outings). After 9 months off (gelded), first run since leaving Alice Haynes when last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 66/1) 29 days ago. Failed to beat a rival on his last two starts for Alice Haynes and his current yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (28/1 +15%) Made All |
28/1(+15%) | (14) Made All 28/1, Possibly needed the run after 6 months off when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 33/1) 28 days ago. Still has something to find, though, as he drops back down in trip. Off six months before 11th in 10f Chelmsford handicap four weeks ago; can build on it now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (40/1 -100%) Arc Shadowfax |
40/1(-100%) | (6) Arc Shadowfax 40/1, Off the mark at Redcar in May last year. However, ended the campaign with a couple of lesser efforts, ninth of 11 in minor event at York (7f, good, 13/2) when last seen in July. Cheekpieces applied after 9 months off. Landed 6f Redcar maiden last May but his form nosedived after; cheekpieces go on. |

FLYING FINN was sent off at odds-on for her handicap debut at Ripon and the result never looked in doubt. She has been hit with a 9lb rise for that six-and-a-half length triumph, so Adrian Keatley is wise to get her out under a penalty before the hike comes into effect. Rukaana also made a successful start to his handicap career, although that came at Wolverhampton in October so he doesn't have the advantage of recent match practice. Even so, he is given maximum respect, with Keep Warm, Asimov and Duke Wellington just three more to consider in a fiercely competitive heat.
FLYING FINN showed improved form when making a winning handicap debut in good style at Ripon last week, looking better the further she went, and a penalty might not be enough to prevent her from following up. Rukaana was also successful on his first handicap start and is respected on his return, with the progressive Sir Gabrial completing the shortlist.
A few with claims but FLYING FINN is hard to side against under a penalty after spreadeagling her field on her handicap debut at Ripon.

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.
