1st (2)  (6/1 +0%)Southern Voyage |
6/1(+0%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Southern Voyage 6/1, Third of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Chester (12.5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. The type to pop up at some point from his reduced mark. Chester was better last time but on good to firm and conditions are a concern. |
|||
2nd (5)  (9/1 -100%)Knights Affair |
9/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Knights Affair 9/1, Fair maiden. Off 8 months, not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in 13f Ayr handicap on reappearance 17 days ago, left poorly placed. Less exposed than the majority of these. Considered. Beaten just under 3l back in a handicap last time when only seven ran. |
|||
3rd (7)  (7/4 +50%)Sisterandbrother |
7/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sisterandbrother 7/4, Hurdle winner for Milton Harris last May and made a positive start back on the Flat for new trainer when close second of 13 at Bath (1¼m, good) last Friday. Sure to go well if coping with 2 outings in quick succession after a break. Second at Bath last week and did well to threaten after challenging wide. |
|||
4th (6)  (9/1 +0%)Major Major |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Major Major 9/1, 12/1, below form when fourth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (1½m, good) 41 days ago. Others more persuasive. Dual winner over the trip; on a good mark and Brighton gradients an excuse latest. |
|||
5th (3)  (9/2 -35%)She's A Novelty |
9/2(-35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) She's A Novelty 9/2, Won a pair of11.5f turf handicaps at the end of last summer. Likely to go well on the hat-trick bid if fully primed after 8 months off. Goes well fresh and remains on a very workable mark with Joe Leavy taking off 5lb. |
|||
6th (8)  (9/2 +36%)Churchill Rose |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Churchill Rose 9/2, Modest maiden. 9/4, fourth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Might have to wait a bit longer for a first success. Unproven on softer than good but if that's no problem then she should run well. |
|||
7th (1)  (28/1 -100%)Polemon |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Polemon 28/1, Fair form when runner-up twice in AW novice events to start 2023 but well beaten in 2 outings over the winter, including a handicap. A subsequent wind operation needs to help him get his career back on track. Twice runner-up on the AW; quiet following an absence and now had a wind op. |
|||
8th (4)  (28/1 -40%)Glory Nights |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Glory Nights 28/1, Opened his account at Wolverhampton in October. Creditable second of 12 there (1½m) on Boxing Day but not so good in 2 outings this year. Sports first-time cheekpieces in a bid to get back on track. Good record at Wolverhampton but yet to show comparable form on turf. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SISTERANDBROTHER made a highly encouraging first start for the Harriet Dickin stable when occupying the runner-up berth over 1m2f at Bath recently. The son of Sixties Icon should have no issues with this rise in distance and he could be the one to beat off an unchanged rating. The main threat might be She's A Novelty, who was last seen completing a double at Haydock in September and she should go well on her return. Southern Voyage is another to note.
A second outing in quick succession after a lay-off is always a slight concern but SISTERANDBROTHER was nicely clear of the rest when a narrowly denied at Bath last Friday and looks well treated off the same mark. The unexposed Knights Affair was better than the result on his Ayr reappearance and is second choice ahead of the returning She's A Novelty.
The 6yo SISTERANDBROTHER gets the nod after he was perhaps a little unfortunate not to win last week at Bath.

(2)  (25/1 -14%)Savvy Exchange |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Savvy Exchange 25/1, Confirmed debut promise when landing the odds in 3-runner maiden at Pontefract (8f, soft, 4/5) 30 days ago, always holding on. May well do better but looks vulnerable under a penalty. Not strong form in winning at Pontefract but a scopey colt who can do better. |
|||
1st (4)  (9/1 -80%)Indelible |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Indelible 9/1, Shamardal filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 1½m Midterm and 9f/1¼m winner Mori, both smart. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner), including 6 Group/Grade 1s. Much better for debut when winning maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) in November. Respected under a penalty. AW winner and there's no doubt a lot more to come from this Irish Oaks entry. |
|||
2nd (6)  (3/1 +14%)Amphius |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Amphius 3/1, Kingman colt. Brother to very smart winner up to 1¼m Sangarius and smart 1m-1¼m winner Greek Order and half-brother to 3 winners. Scopey sort who made a promising start when fourth behind subsequent Dante winner Economics in 17-runner maiden at Newbury 6 weeks ago. Sure to improve and big shout. Caught the eye from off the pace when fourth to the Dante winner Economics. |
|||
3rd (12)  (9/2 +25%)Sword |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Sword 9/2, 500,000 gns Kingman colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Oceania Legend. Showed plenty to work on when fourth of 13 in novice at Kempton (8f, 9/2) in November, held back by greenness initially but a notable eyecatcher by the finish. Open to significant improvement. Encouraging fourth on AW debut behind this week's impressive winner Matsuri. |
|||
4th (8)  (3/1 +14%)English Harbour |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) English Harbour 3/1, Kingman gelding. Half-brother to smart 7f-1m winner Tinker Toy and useful 1¼m winner Voodoo Queen. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f (Moyglare Stud Stakes) winner. Showed plenty to work on when chasing home a subsequent lised winner in Yarmouth maiden last month. Could be useful and needs considering. Second at Yarmouth and the winner franked that form in a big way last week. |
|||
5th (3)  (5/1 +29%)Fifty Nifty |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fifty Nifty 5/1, Ten Sovereigns half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart 6.5f-1m winner Obviously (including Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, by Choisir). Looked potentially useful when making a winning start in 8-runner Yarmouth maiden last month. Respected under a penalty. Yarmouth form has taken some knocks but that was still an impressive debut. |
|||
6th (5)  (33/1 +0%)Ajdayet |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ajdayet 33/1, 100,000 gns yearling, Ten Sovereigns colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Arkendale. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to Dewhurst Stakes winner Intense Focus. Would have to be at least useful to be making a winning debut in a race like this. 100,000gns yearling; third foal; half-brother to 1m winner Arkendale (RPR 89). |
|||
7th (11)  (22/1 -120%)Parkland |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Parkland 22/1, Son of Wootton Bassett who showed ability when placed in a couple of AW maidens this winter, notably when chasing home subsequent 2000 Guineas winner Notable Speech. Respected back from a break. Close up behind Guineas winner Notable Speech but surely flattered by that. |
|||
8th (7)  (12/1 +76%)Brindley |
12/1(+76%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Brindley 12/1, €50,000 foal, 75,000 gns yearling, Calyx colt. Dam unraced out of useful winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner) Amazonas. Eighth of 13 in maiden (25/1) at Newbury (7f, good) on debut. Off 9 months. Plenty to find. Gelded and had a wind op since running a nice race at Newbury last season. |
|||
9th (10)  (18/1 -80%)Mutaawid |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mutaawid 18/1, Frankel colt. Brother to high-class 7f-1½m winner Mostahdaf and half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart 7f/1m winner Nazeef and smart 1m winner Mostabshir. Failed to meet market expectations when fifth of 8 in maiden (13/8) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) on debut 10 days ago. Very coltish in the prelims when failing favourite backers at Nottingham. |
|||
10th (1)  (28/1 -56%)Piloto Pardo |
28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Piloto Pardo 28/1, Much improved from debut when winning 14-runner novice at Kempton in September. Off since and tough ask to be shouldering top weight in what looks a hot race. AW winner; needs further progress if he's to concede weight to some promising rivals here. |
|||
11th (9)  (150/1 +25%)Midnight Missile |
150/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Midnight Missile 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 5 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good) 10 days ago, very slowly away. Huge outsider. Well beaten over 1m and 5f on two visits to Nottingham; outclassed in this company. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Fifty Nifty put more experienced rivals to the sword in comfortable style on his debut at Yarmouth and he is likely to have plenty more to offer. However, he could find it tough to give 5lb away to AMPHIUS, who finished fourth behind subsequent Dante winner Economics on his first outing at Newbury and he would have learnt a great deal from that experience. With normal improvement, he could prove very hard to beat, while English Harbour and Indelible are just two others to consider.
ENGLISH HARBOUR showed plenty when beaten only by a very smart prospect in a maiden at Yarmouth last month and shades the vote over Amphius, who also made a promising start when fourth in a maiden won by Dante winner Economics. Sword was a big eyecatcher when fourth in a novice at Kempton in the autumn and is another to consider in what looks a strong novice.
Roger Varian has won two of the last three runnings and ENGLISH HARBOUR's likeable Yarmouth debut looks all the better now.

1st (1)  (4/1 +0%)Twirling |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Twirling 4/1, Latest win at Kempton in December. Tongue strap on for first time, excellent third of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 20 days ago, travelling with plenty of zest. Player from the same mark. Excellent Nottingham third latest; must enter calculations with few miles on the clock. |
|||
2nd (5)  (10/3 +0%)Roarin' Success |
10/3(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Roarin' Success 10/3, Ran right up to form on reappearance when good second of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Ascot (8f, good) 30 days ago, never nearer. Low-mileage 4-y-o may have more to offer. Excellent second at Ascot 30 days ago; firmly in the picture nudged up just 1lb. |
|||
3rd (11)  (20/1 +0%)Abruzzo Mia |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Abruzzo Mia 20/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 17/2) 28 days ago. Back on turf for first time since 2022. Won at Newcastle in March but his more recent form is less encouraging. |
|||
4th (4)  (3/1 -20%)Nikovo |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nikovo 3/1, Three wins from 4 runs this year. 10/3, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 9 days ago, impressively. Carries penalty but looks to be the one to beat again. Not looked back for current yard and easy Ayr victor latest; a major player under 5lb pen. |
|||
5th (3)  (11/1 -22%)Repertoire |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Repertoire 11/1, Successful twice last year and creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) trying to win that race again 13 days ago. Can give a good account. In decent nick, fourth at Newmarket 13 days ago; one for the shortlist off an easing mark. |
|||
6th (8)  (10/1 +38%)The Cookstown Cafu |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Cookstown Cafu 10/1, Shaped as though in need of the run when tenth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good, 11/1) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not taken lightly with that under his belt. Resumed from eight months off with encouraging York tenth; not to be underestimated. |
|||
7th (7)  (9/1 -29%)Pumalin Park |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pumalin Park 9/1, AW winner on second career start around a year ago. 7/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 33 days ago, inadequate test. Tongue strap on first time and return to 1m can only help. Promising fifth at Southwell on return; very much one to consider back at 1m. |
|||
8th (6)  (80/1 -60%)Cabrillo |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cabrillo 80/1, Deauville novice winner in August 2022. Missed all of last year but stepped up on reappearance when eighth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. In decent nick for new yard, eighth at Thirsk 13 days ago; not ruled out now up to 1m. |
|||
9th (2)  (12/1 +64%)Pisanello |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pisanello 12/1, Low-key start to the campaign, ninth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Redcar (8f, good) 11 days ago. On his last winning mark if he can revive but others more persuasive. Offered little in two runs this term, cheekpieces retried at Redcar 11 days ago. |
|||
10th (10)  (16/1 -33%)Achillea |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Achillea 16/1, Latest win at Lingfield in November. 6/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f). Off 171 days and mark isn't obviously generous. A two-time 1m scorer in 2023; much respected on her seasonal return. |
|||
11th (9)  (22/1 +33%)Trip To Rome |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Trip To Rome 22/1, 33/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, last of 13 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm) 21 days ago, though he did meet some trouble. Tough to assess at present. Cheekpieces tried when last of 13 in Chester h'cap three weeks ago; others are preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ROARIN' SUCCESS finished second in a class 3 event at Ascot on her return to the fray earlier in the month and she was only put up 1lb for that performance. The daughter of Roaring Lion takes a drop in grade and she looks the one to beat, with her main threat possibly being Nikovo, who has recorded three wins from his last four starts and has to be respected. Of the remainder, Twirling makes most appeal after her third at Nottingham.
NIVOKO is absolutely thriving for David O'Meara, barely breaking sweat when winning for the third time in 4 starts at Ayr last week, and on that evidence, a penalty won't prevent another success. Twirling, Roarin' Success and The Cookstown Cafu are potential threats.
5yo NIKOVO (nap) has gone from strength to strength this term and can make it 4-5 under a 5lb penalty for his easy Ayr win.

1st (3)  (13/8 -8%)Mickley |
13/8(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mickley 13/8, Has progressed with each run and looked an exciting prospect when winning 10-runner runner maiden at Southwell (7.1f) 66 days ago, storming clear. Opening mark appeals as lenient and he's the one to beat. Impressively won at Southwell in March; has got in lightly on h'cap debut so big shout. |
|||
2nd (8)  (5/1 +17%)Mono River |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mono River 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 15/8, second of 13 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Not discounted. Good second at Windsor 18 days ago; may do better still now h'capping with cheekpieces on. |
|||
3rd (6)  (7/1 +56%)Jungle Mac |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jungle Mac 7/1, Won at Chelmsford City in February. 25/1, creditable fourth of 19 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 27 days ago, rallying. Respected from the same mark. Arrives in very good form, fourth in Newmarket h'cap latest; can make his presence felt. |
|||
4th (1)  (6/1 +8%)Love Billy Boy |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Love Billy Boy 6/1, Has made a solid start to this season, again running creditably when second of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 9/2) 13 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Is knocking on the door, runner-up at Newmarket 13 days ago; ought to be thereabouts. |
|||
5th (2)  (11/1 -69%)Secret Bid |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Secret Bid 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. 12/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago by 1½ lengths from Sky Warrior. Still unexposed in handicaps and further improvement is a distinct possibility. Took his form up a level when making all at Lingfield latest; up 5lb but not taken lightly. |
|||
6th (7)  (11/1 +8%)Saviour |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Saviour 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/2). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Consistent rather progressive at 2 yrs and others make more appeal on return. Solid fourth at Wolver last autumn; had wind op ahead of h'cap debut and one to consider. |
|||
7th (4)  (10/1 -43%)Sky Warrior |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sky Warrior 10/1, Won second time up over 6f here last year. Improved for the switch to a handicap when 1½ lengths second of 8 to Secret Bid (9/2) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Respected. Excellent second on handicap debut at Lingfield 20 days ago; can go well again up 1lb. |
|||
8th (5)  (14/1 -17%)Call To Action |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Call To Action 14/1, Confirmed debut promise when landing odds in 10-runner maiden at Newcastle (5f) before leaving Kevin Ryan. Similar form when when second of 12 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. No chances taken with his opening mark. Gelded before good second on yard debut at Nottingham; not discounted on h'cap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MICKLEY was quite taking when readily dispatching a subsequent winner in a maiden at Southwell in March and he looks one to follow. Edward Bethell's gelding enters handicaps off what looks a workable mark and a double could beckon. Having made all at Lingfield earlier this month, Secret Bid could prove the biggest threat if able to gain an easy lead, while Mono River and Love Billy Boy also warrant consideration.
MICKLEY impressed both visually and on the clock when scoring at Southwell in March and looks to have been let off lightly for his handicap debut, so gets the verdict over Love Billy Boi, who has held his form well in defeat this term and recent Lingfield winner Secret Bid.
Improving MICKLEY looks to start life in handicaps on a good mark and can follow up his stylish Southwell success (form been franked).

11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rhythm N Hooves 11/2, Won at Royal Ascot last season and though he's yet to fire this year, recent fifth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a step back in right direction. Blinkers on 1st time. Interesting back at last winning mark. Yet to hit top form this term, cheekpieces on when Windsor fifth latest; blinkers on now. |
|||
2nd (4)  (17/2 +15%)Another Investment |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Another Investment 17/2, Shaped as if still in form twelfth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good, 13/2) 14 days ago. Capable of getting involved from this mark but recent finishing efforts have left something to be desired. Rarely wins but he arrives in decent nick; possibilities off sliding mark. |
|||
3rd (6)  (15/8 -57%)Supreme King |
15/8(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Supreme King 15/8, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 29 days ago, plenty in hand. Leading player despite 10 lb rise. 6l C&D victor latest; up 10lb but still quite unexposed at trip; leading claims. |
|||
4th (5)  (8/1 +64%)How Impressive |
8/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) How Impressive 8/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. 11/1, rare poort effort when nineteenth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good) 14 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Rare poor effort when beating only one at York latest; he's the sort to get back on track. |
|||
5th (2)  (6/1 +20%)Tiger Crusade |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tiger Crusade 6/1, Course winner. Consistent sort wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 19 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not discounted back on turf. Course winner; not seen to best effect with Newcastle sixth latest; considered. |
|||
6th (8)  (9/1 -20%)Be Proud |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Be Proud 9/1, C&D winner. 8/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 17 days ago. Sound place claims again. Got back on track when third at Ayr 17 days ago; this C&D winner needs considering. |
|||
7th (9)  (16/1 +52%)American Star |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) American Star 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) 27 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Hard to warm to. Winless since 2021 and only tenth at Thirsk 27 days ago; he's hard to make a case for. |

8th (1)  (12/1 -20%)Aljari |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aljari 12/1, Good third at Kempton on seasonal return but not in same form when last of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW). Something to find after another 113 days off. Last at Lingfield in February; no surprise to see him get back on track for in-form yard. |
|||
9th (7)  (25/1 -79%)Rathbone |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rathbone 25/1, C&D winner. 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (firm) 13 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark but needs to leave recent efforts long way behind. C&D winner but he's yet to fire in three runs this term; others appeal more. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Supreme King must enter the reckoning having romped home over C&D earlier this month, but a 10lb rise in the ratings will undoubtedly make life tougher for David Evans' gelding. TIGER CRUSADE hasn't been disgraced in two outings on the all-weather since his trip to Meydan in February and this drop into class 4 company could prove just the tonic. The seven-year-old edges the verdict, while dual track winner Be Proud is unlikely to be far away either.
SUPREME KING could barely have been more impressive when sluicing up over C&D earlier in the month and David Evans' unexposed sprinter promises to follow up. Rhythm N Hooves is becoming well treated on the pick of his form and may be working his way back to his peak, whilst Be Proud should run another solid race.
David Evans' upwardly-mobile sprinter SUPREME KING is taken to make light of a 10lb weights hike for his recent wide-margin C&D success

1st (4)  (7/2 +22%)Monsieur Melee |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Monsieur Melee 7/2, Promising fifth on Sandown reappearance and shaped well in both starts since, latest when fifth in Newbury handicap (10f, good) a fortnight ago. Likely contender. Ran quite well when fifth at Newbury this month but is 0-7 now; others appeal more. |
|||
2nd (5)  (13/2 -8%)L'eagle Aid |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) L'eagle Aid 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good third of 7 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 3/1) 17 days ago. Enters calculations. Close third when upped to 1m2f for seasonal/handicap debut; can progress again over 1m4f. |
|||
3rd (7)  (9/4 +10%)The Crafty Mole |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Crafty Mole 9/4, Upped his game when scoring at Wetherby (14f) last month and followed up in 7-runner handicap at Redcar (14f, good, evens) 11 days ago. 6 lb penalty will make life tougher but another bold bid is on the cards. 2-2 since upped to 1m6f and returned to turf last month; commands respect in current mood. |
|||
4th (3)  (11/2 -38%)Sir Galahad |
11/2(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sir Galahad 11/2, Much improved, in first-time cheekpieces, when second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 44 days ago, having to pick way through. Promises to stay this longer trip and is one for shortlist. Runner-up on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Kempton (1m3f, AW); has more to offer. |
|||
5th (6)  (12/1 +14%)It's Not Risky |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) It's Not Risky 12/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good, 28/1) 22 days ago. Others look better treated. Dual AW winner in January but safely held on turf return; others may have more potential. |
|||
6th (10)  (22/1 -38%)Veer |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Veer 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good sixth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 15 days ago. Each-way claims. Weakened into sixth when upped to 1m4f for recent handicap debut; up in grade today. |
|||
7th (2)  (17/2 +15%)Night Horn |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Night Horn 17/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in minor event at Thirsk (12f, good to firm) 13 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping. Made low-key seasonal reappearance but remains unexposed; handicap debut today. |
|||
8th (9)  (14/1 -56%)Elforleather |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Elforleather 14/1, Winner at Brighton in April. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to soft, 5/6) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Off the mark at Brighton last month but beaten there since and contests stronger race here. |
|||
9th (1)  (33/1 +0%)Turing |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Turing 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW). Off 126 days. Makes turf debut. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Likely best watched. Sold out of Andrew Balding's after finishing last of four on handicap debut in January. |
|||
10th (8)  (80/1 -100%)Carvalhal |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Carvalhal 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Visor on 1st time. Work to do. Safely held on seasonal/handicap debut; upped from 1m1f and fitted with visor today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success over further at Redcar, THE CRAFTY MOLE is in rude health at present and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from completing the hat-trick. A highly creditable second on his handicap bow at Kempton last month, Sir Galahad is a key player stepped up in distance. L'Eagle Aid wasn't beaten far at Beverley on his latest start and also holds claims.
SIR GALAHAD looked a different proposition when runner-up at Kempton last month and remains open to improvement. He can open his account. Monsieur Melee and The Crafty Mole rate the principal dangers.
One of two to pull well clear of the others when scoring at Redcar recently, THE CRAFTY MOLE could still be ahead of the handicapper.

(1)  (11/1 +21%)Charging Thunder |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Charging Thunder 11/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 19 days ago. Others more appealing. Back in form with good third on AW this month and remains well handicapped. |
|||
1st (9)  (17/2 -55%)Lexington Knight |
17/2(-55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lexington Knight 17/2, C&D winner who has been good form in recent outings, latest when creditable second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 5/1) 11 days ago. Merits consideration. C&D winner; placed on last four appearances and ought to be in the thick of things again. |
|||
2nd (7)  (6/1 +20%)Kardia |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kardia 6/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 14 in handicap (3/1) at Thirsk (12f, heavy) 41 days ago. Hood back on. Something to find on form. Flopped on seasonal debut; probably still has potential, but needs to learn to settle. |
|||
3rd (2)  (17/2 -21%)Knightswood |
17/2(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Knightswood 17/2, Disappointed at Newmarket latest but had posted good second on return at Ripon (12.1f) previously and must enter calculations. Didn't fire at Newmarket this month but ran big race on seasonal debut; a possible. |
|||
4th (3)  (7/4 +13%)Great Bedwyn |
7/4(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Great Bedwyn 7/4, Dual winner last term who made a fine return from 11 months off when second of 14 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to firm, 14/1) 20 days ago. He remains nicely treated and looks the one to beat. Progressive 4yo who might have been unlucky not to win on seasonal debut at Ascot. |
|||
5th (8)  (33/1 +18%)Billy No Mates |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Billy No Mates 33/1, 17/2, last of 6 in handicap at Ripon (16f, heavy) 34 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ran poorly on latest outing and younger rivals are much more appealing here. |
|||
6th (6)  (11/1 +21%)Bringbackmemories |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bringbackmemories 11/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Creditable sixth of 20 in handicap (18/1) at York (11.8f, good) 16 days ago. Each-way claims. Won twice during AW season and was respectable sixth of 20 on turf return at York. |
|||
7th (4)  (40/1 -43%)Sonnerie Power |
40/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sonnerie Power 40/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Seemingly back in good form on AW two starts ago but soundly beaten on turf since. |
|||
8th (5)  (3/1 +14%)King Of The Plains |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) King Of The Plains 3/1, Opened account at Newcastle (12,5f) in September and made a pleasing start for new connections when fourth of 14 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Entitled to build on that. Made pleasing seasonal/stable debut at Ascot this month and still has low mileage. |
|||
9th (10)  (20/1 +20%)Haliphon |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Haliphon 20/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW). Off 117 days. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. Out of form on AW during the winter and needs to have been refreshed by 177-day break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KING OF THE PLAINS (fourth) didn't get the clearest of runs on his return at Ascot and he is taken to overturn form with the reopposing Great Bedwyn (second) on this occasion. That was the four-year-old's first run for new connections and he is entitled to improve. He may prove too good for Windsor second Lexington Knight, as well as Knightswood, who has strong claims on his penultimate effort at Ripon.
GREAT BEDWYN ran a cracker on his reappearance at Ascot earlier this month and makes plenty of appeal here. KIng of The Plains and Lexington Knight may provide the chief threat.
Progressive 4yo GREAT BEDWYN might have been unlucky not to make a winning seasonal debut at Ascot three weeks ago and gets the nod.

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.
