|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7)  (5/1 +58%)Ghost Run |
5/1(+58%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ghost Run 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Respectable eighth of 20 in minor event (13/2) at York (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Should find this a more realistic assignment and she's probably not hit her limit just yet. Failed to threaten in York sales race but of interest judged on her previous nursery form. |
|||
2nd (14)  (25/1 -79%)Oolong Poobong |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Oolong Poobong 25/1, Improved from debut to get off the mark at Newcastle in August but failed to beat a rival at Wolverhampton last time and has plenty to find. Disappointing on nursery debut at Wolverhampton but promise previously and not written off. |
|||
3rd (5)  (11/1 +67%)Griselda |
11/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Griselda 11/1, Looked highly progressive when bagging a third success in 6f Thirsk nursery in July. Hasn't fired on last two starts but appeared stretched by 7f trip at York on latest, so this slight drop back in distance should suit. Landed nursery hat-trick in July but only eighth at Newmarket and York since. |
|||
4th (9)  (12/1 -20%)Eartha |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Eartha 12/1, Promising sort who opened her account at the second attempt at Wetherby in June and was quite strong at the finish when third at Southwell recently. Step up in trip is in her favour and she can't be dismissed. Got up close home in 5.5f maiden at Wetherby; the step up in trip could be a positive move. |
|||
5th (2)  (6/1 +0%)Toomuchforme |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Toomuchforme 6/1, Proved a different proposition to debut (when sent off favourite) following a breathing operation/11 weeks off when comfortable winner of 6f Ripon novice, then gave it a good go under a penalty (probably bumped into one) at Newbury last time. Worthy of interest. Solid 6f novice form last month and today's extra yardage could be in her favour. |
|||
6th (4)  (12/1 +0%)Silver Ghost |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Silver Ghost 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, creditable second of 8 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago, no match for winner. Should give another good account. Runner-up on nursery debut at Newmarket; progressive and firmly in calculations. |
|||
7th (6)  (20/1 -150%)Beauty Nation |
20/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Beauty Nation 20/1, Impressive debut winner at Kempton and backed it up with a solid showing under a penalty at Wolverhampton. Remains with potential if she's as effective on this surface. Won on debut in July; turned over at 4-9 since but no surprise if she plays leading role. |
|||
8th (11)  (33/1 +0%)Hackney Diamonds |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Hackney Diamonds 33/1, Progressive sort who made a successful winning nursery bow at Leicester in July but failed to build on it in a more competitive race at Goodwood last time. Has had a short break since then. Won on nursery debut at Leicester but beaten a long way at Goodwood since. |
|||
9th (8)  (11/2 +50%)Dear Cat |
11/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dear Cat 11/2, Boosted her progressive profile when landing a maiden in good style at Salisbury last time, showing a willing response to pressure. Appeals as the type to take to this more competitive environment, so should be involved. Made all in Salisbury maiden last time; it wasn't a strong race but she did it easily. |
|||
10th (1)  (16/1 -60%)Alice Fairfax |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alice Fairfax 16/1, Lope De Vega filly who landed 6f Thirsk novice before posting a very good sixth in Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot on penultimate start. Couldn't keep the momentum going in the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood but merits respect down in grade. Has contested Group 3s the last twice; could have more to offer now down in grade. |
|||
11th (13)  (22/1 -83%)Skellig Isle |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Skellig Isle 22/1, Getting better with each run and displayed a good attitude to open her account in a maiden at Nottingham last time. Step back up in trip should suit and she's an interesting nursery debutante. Won Nottingham maiden; attractive pedigree provides optimism she can continue to improve. |
|||
12th (10)  (20/1 +0%)Substitute |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Substitute 20/1, Winner at Ripon in May. Bit below form sixth of 16 in nursery (33/1) at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Others make more appeal. Hasn't progressed from debut win but ran well at Glorious Goodwood and not discounted. |
|||
13th (12)  (4/1 +47%)Art Design |
4/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Art Design 4/1, Generally progressive and overcame a poor position to get up late in a nursery at Southwell last time. Small rise for that may underestimate her, and she strikes as a big player. Won on second nursery start (6f, AW) and could continue to progress for top yard. |
|||
14th (15)  (40/1 -60%)Stage Effect |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Stage Effect 40/1, Left her debut form behind switched to turf when winning at Haydock (6f, soft) in May. Not at best since, though, and this is likely to prove too competitive. Soft-ground win at Haydock in May but well below that level subsequently. |
|||
15th (16)  (40/1 -233%)Hot Like Me |
40/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Hot Like Me 40/1, Stepped up on previous efforts when third in a novice at Newmarket last time but opening mark demands more progress if she's to compete. Well beaten on all three starts but has a useful pedigree; check betting on nursery debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
George Boughey and Highclere Thoroughbred teamed up to win this 12 months ago with Chic Colombine, and BEAUTY NATION could repeat the feat. A comfortable winner on her debut at Kempton before bumping into a potentially useful type at Wolverhampton next time, she could prove well treated off an opening mark of 80 and the switch to turf should suit. Scatter Penny was far from disgraced in a similarly warm York nursery recently and is considered off 1lb lower, while others to note include Toomuchforme and Hot Like Me.
ART DESIGN did well to get up from a most unpromising position at Southwell and promises to be suited by this longer trip, so she gets the nod over Toomuchforme, who was denied by a stablemate of the selection at Newbury last time. Dear Cat is another big player.
The progressive grey SILVER GHOST was a good second on last month's nursery debut at Newmarket and is taken to go one better.

1st (3)  (15/2 +46%)Hallasan |
15/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hallasan 15/2, Beaten favourite first 3 starts but got the job done when readily seeing off subsequent winner Mukaber upped to 6f in a Nottingham maiden (good) last time. It's likely that there will be more races to be won with this son of Pinatubo but it's doubtful that he will be equal to this task. Others have achieved more but won well at Nottingham and unexposed at 6f. |
|||
2nd (1)  (11/4 +0%)Camille Pissarro |
11/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Camille Pissarro 11/4, Has gone close twice in Group 3 company, including when beaten ½-length by Babouche (Group 1 winner since) on penultimate start. Again underperformed on these shores when sixth of 10 in the Gimcrack, though, and now meets Caburn, who was a place ahead of him that day, on 4 lb worse terms. Disappointing favourite in the Gimcrack but has a massive shout on his penultimate run. |
|||
3rd (19)  (12/1 +76%)Miss Nightfall |
12/1(+76%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Miss Nightfall 12/1, Made no mistake when landing the odds on her third start in a 12-runner novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. There are almost certainly more races to be won with this filly, albeit a chunk of improvement will be needed if she's to follow up here. Windsor winner who is coming along nicely but others have achieved a whole lot more. |
|||
4th (7)  (66/1 -100%)Seagolazo |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Seagolazo 66/1, Opened his account at the third attempt when landing the odds in 6-runner maiden at Chester (7f, good) in July. Wasn't disgraced when seventh of 17 in a York nursery 3 weeks ago (gelded since) but the addition of blinkers will need to spark major improvement if he's to emerge on top here. Has been gelded and blinkers now go on, but makes limited appeal after last time. |
|||
5th (15)  (5/1 +0%)Intrusively |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Intrusively 5/1, Failed to build on debut promise when third to Victory Sound at Haydock in June but has bettered that form by some way since, notably finishing third in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes on penultimate start. Duly landed the odds in a Nottingham maiden (6f, good) last time and he merits respect. Group 2-placed colt who made no mistake at long odds-on last time; strong contender. |
|||
6th (11)  (11/1 -38%)King Of Bears |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) King Of Bears 11/1, Left debut behind to win 9-runner novice at Newbury (6f, good) in July and subsequently shaped a bit better than the distance beaten when seventh in the Richmond at Goodwood. Now tried in a tongue strap and he remains open to improvement. Too free in a Group 2 at Goodwood and today's bigger field could help; tongue tied. |
|||
7th (14)  (12/1 -20%)An Outlaw's Grace |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) An Outlaw's Grace 12/1, Came up short in a couple of Group 2s following Salisbury debut success but wasn't beaten far when sixth of 20 in another valuable sales race at York (6f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Equipped with first-time cheekpieces and he's a live each-way contender back up in trip on this stiffer track. Beaten fair and square in the sales race at York and now goes in cheekpieces. |
|||
8th (20)  (80/1 -142%)Timefall |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (20) Timefall 80/1, Built on debut promise at the second attempt when winning a 10-runner Newmarket maiden (7f, good to firm) in July. Subsequent nursery debut third over the same C&D was no more than respectable, though, and it is form likely to leave her some way short of what will be required here. Third off a modest mark (in relation to today's opposition) on her nursery debut. |
|||
9th (4)  (40/1 +20%)King Of Angels |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King Of Angels 40/1, Did the job well in 7f novice at Doncaster in July and his effort in a valuable big-field 7f York nursery at the Ebor meeting was probably his best yet. However, it's still form that leaves him some way short of what will be required to win this. One of 4 representing the Hugo Palmer yard. Only tenth and fifth in his two nurseries (at 7f) and faces a tougher task this time. |
|||
10th (10)  (25/1 -56%)Cairdeas |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Cairdeas 25/1, Has improved with each of his 3 starts to date, narrowly landing a 7f Newmarket novice (good) last time. The runner-up didn't exactly boost the form next time but this colt is in good hands and isn't without each-way hope. Would be receiving a fair bit of weight off some of these were this a handicap. |
|||
11th (9)  (4/1 +0%)Caburn |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Caburn 4/1, Form of the Salisbury novice he won on debut is decent and he followed up in the Super Sprint at Newbury, despite the drop to 5f proving less than ideal. Again looked in need of a stiffer test when fifth in the Gimcrack at York (6f, good to firm) and he has to be high on the shortlist. Major player at these weights after a pleasing fifth in the Gimcrack. |
|||
12th (2)  (50/1 +50%)Deauville Blue |
50/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Deauville Blue 50/1, Fetched €80,000 as a yearling and showed clear signs of ability when eighth in a 20-runner Newbury maiden (6f, good) on debut in May. Likely to step up on that in due course but this assignment will likely prove beyond him. Needs to find plenty on his Newbury form and subsequent absence is offputting. |
|||
13th (8)  (125/1 -525%)Victory Sound |
125/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Victory Sound 125/1, All the sharper for his debut when shading a tight finish in 7f Haydock maiden in June with the re-opposing Intrusively back in third. However, he struggled back from a break in the Solario at Sandown and is probably again biting off more than he can chew. Put in his place in the Group 3 Solario at Sandown and unlikely to be good enough here. |
|||
14th (6)  (25/1 -39%)Moving Force |
25/1(-39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Moving Force 25/1, Scored at Beverley on debut in May and only narrowly denied by Royal Ascot winner Shareholder back there the following month. Held in Group 2 company next 2 starts but latest fifth in a 6f 17-runner York nursery was a good effort and his yard has saddled the winner of this 3 times since 2010. Finished well for fifth in a York nursery but may need 7f now to take the next step up. |
|||
15th (13)  (125/1 +0%)Cuban Girl |
125/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Cuban Girl 125/1, Windsor debut third was promising but she looked a hard ride when down the field with a hood enlisted (discarded here) in an AW maiden next time. Trainer-jockey combination successful twice in this race in recent years but it's unlikely that this filly will be good enough. Disappointing in a hood last time; was better on debut but that's still modest form. |
|||
16th (16)  (40/1 -21%)Yes I'm Mali |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Yes I'm Mali 40/1, Game winner of a big-field nursery at the York Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm) last month but wasn't in the same form on soft ground over the same C&D on Sunday. Will need to take a considerable step forward in order to play a leading role in this contest. Dual winner but well down this pack on the figures. |
|||
17th (17)  (25/1 +83%)Pearly Squirrel |
25/1(+83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Pearly Squirrel 25/1, There were positives to glean from her recent debut spin at Redcar but this is likely to be a case of too much too soon. Found a bit of bother in running when beaten 8l at Redcar but very opposable. |
|||
18th (18)  (50/1 +0%)Due To Dance |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Due To Dance 50/1, Shaped with a fair bit of promise, despite finishing last of 5 in a Class 2 novice on debut at Chester (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Wasn't given a hard time on that occasion and improvement should be forthcoming but perhaps not to the extent that will be needed in order to bag this big prize. Nice first run at Chester but this is a huge rise in class. |
|||
19th (5)  (50/1 +24%)Midnight City |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Midnight City 50/1, Brother to useful 5f winner Online Alexander and has shown a fair level of ability in both starts to date, latterly coming home seventh of 20 in a similarly valuable sales race at York (6f, good to firm). Likely to pick up a race sooner or later but this demands a big step forward. Just behind An Outlaw's Grace at York and he's worse off at the weights with that one here. |
|||
20th (12)  (80/1 +47%)Popeye Doyle |
80/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Popeye Doyle 80/1, Shaped as if in need of the experience when sixth of 11 in a Deauville maiden on debut last month and it will be something of a surprise if he improves enough to get in the shake-up here. Could finish only in midfield on his debut at Deauville (7f, good) and this is a big ask. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Camille Pissarro (sixth) and Caburn (fifth) faced off in the Gimcrack at York last month and official ratings would suggest the pair are unlikely to be far away, but a chance can be taken on AN OUTLAW'S GRACE. The Dandy Man colt didn't show his best form in the Vintage at Goodwood in July, but he caught the eye when staying on into sixth from an unpromising position in a valuable sales race at York three weeks ago. Richard Hannon's charge doesn't have much to find with the principals and the application of first-time cheekpieces could eke out more. Intrusively and Victory Sound are just two others to consider.
This assignment looks tailor-made for CABURN, who has proven himself in the hustle and bustle of a big-field scenario having won the Super Sprint at Newbury and he subsequently left the strong impression that this slightly longer trip/stiffer track would be ideal when fifth in the Gimcrack at York. Intrusively deservedly opened his account at Nottingham and is feared most ahead of An Outlaw's Grace and King of Bears. Likely favourite Camille Pissarro is opposable judged on his Gimcrack effort.
Camille Pissarro and Caburn are hard to knock but this big-field scenario could see KING OF BEARS in a very different light.

1st (3)  (1/1 +27%)Desert Flower |
1/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Desert Flower 1/1, Looked a promising sort when overcoming inexperience to make a winning debut on the Newmarket July Course (7f) and landed the odds over the same C&D without any difficulty last month. In top hands and she's a fine prospect with 1m sure to be within range. Comfortably beat Flight on debut, then defied a penalty in impressive fashion; promising. |
|||
2nd (7)  (10/3 +58%)January |
10/3(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) January 10/3, Still looked a work-in-progress when third in the Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes at the Curragh having won her maiden and she relished step up to 7.5f when a 4-length winner in listed company at Tipperary last month. Can only improve again for 1m so she's a danger to all. Much the best in Listed event at Tipperary last month; improving and has a useful rating. |
|||
3rd (6)  (17/2 -55%)Flight |
17/2(-55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Flight 17/2, Runner-up on debut at Newbury and again second when chasing home Desert Flower at Newmarket in July. Put that experience to best use when making all at Sandown 12 days ago but this asks a different question on first crack at 1m. Recorded a 4l win at Sandown last time; trainer's biggest wins have been with fillies. |
|||
4th (9)  (22/1 +12%)Miss Tonnerre |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Miss Tonnerre 22/1, 300,000 gns half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Pearling Pat. Dam, 11f winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to very smart 7f-1½m winner I'm Your Man. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut over 7f at Newmarket in July. Sure to improve but bare form is ordinary in context of this. Got up close home at Newmarket eight weeks ago for a winning debut; open to progress. |
|||
5th (4)  (13/2 -30%)Ecstatic |
13/2(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ecstatic 13/2, Displayed plenty of ability when third starting out over 1m at Leopardstown in July and derived plenty from that experience as she landed 15-runner maiden at Tipperary without being extended. Bred to stay well and she couldn't be in better hands. Ryan Moore up over January. Won well at Tipperary on second start and looks open to any amount of further progress. |
|||
6th (1)  (14/1 -56%)Anshoda |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Anshoda 14/1, Inns of Court filly who has progressed with each start, taking the step up to Group 3 company in her stride when successful in the Prestige Stakes (7f) at Goodwood 3 weeks ago. Run style strongly suggests that 1m will suit and that form puts her right in the mix. Landed the Prestige Stakes most recently; that race supplied the May Hill winner last year. |
|||
7th (10)  (80/1 -21%)Serving With Style |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Serving With Style 80/1, Carlisle winner on debut and maintained unbeaten record in 7-runner novice at Goodwood (1m). Half-brother developed into a useful juvenile and she may well do the same, though this is a tough ask. Brings a 2-2 profile but faces a tough task on bare ratings; both wins on slow ground. |
|||
8th (8)  (200/1 -60%)Manila Thriller |
200/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Manila Thriller 200/1, Off the mark at the second attempt in seller at Chester (7f) in June. Better form when runner-up in novice company the last twice but it's several notches shy of the required standard here. Proving consistent but has the worst chance at the weights. |
|||
9th (5)  (22/1 -38%)Elsie's Ruan |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Elsie's Ruan 22/1, Looked a useful prospect when making a winning start to her career in 18-runner novice at York (7f, good to firm) in July, staying on strongly. Pitched into the Sweet Solera Stakes and far from discredited in third, shaping as though ready for this 1m trip. More to come. Nice prospect for Gemma Tutty; ran well in the Sweet Solera last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
DESERT FLOWER built on her Newmarket debut success by recording an equally as impressive triumph over the same C&D next time out. The Night Of Thunder filly, who remans prominent in the ante-post betting for the Fillies' Mile, looks to be yet another smart performer for the Charlie Appleby yard. It would be foolish to rule out anything from the Aidan O'Brien stable and January, who romped home in Listed company last time out, looks to be the main threat. Others to note include Anshoda and Elsie's Ruan.
On looks, pedigree and the impression she's created so far, DESERT FLOWER seems set to reach a smart level of form as a 2-y-o and she's expected to take the step up in class and trip in her stride and remain unbeaten. This trip also promises to suit Anshoda so she's offered as the chief threat, ahead of the Aidan O'Brien-trained pair January and Ecstatic.
The big impression created by DESERT FLOWER puts her top of the list in this year's May Hill, ahead of Flight.

1st (9)  (10/1 +0%)Nakheel |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Nakheel 10/1, Very green on AW debut in November and different proposition reappearing to win a 1¼m Ascot maiden 6 months later. Further improvement in defeat next 3 starts (all listed), shaping as if this sort of trip would be beneficial when 4 lengths third to Scenic at York latest. Headgear on. No match for Scenic at York but progressive, now has cheekpieces and this trip will suit. |

2nd (3)  (7/2 +0%)Night Sparkle |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Night Sparkle 7/2, Progressive on the Flat for Michael O'Callaghan last summer and similar form when runner-up 3 of her 5 starts this term, including in Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood (14f, good to firm, 8/1). Far from disgraced against the males in Lonsdale Cup at York 3 weeks ago and this is a fair bit easier. In career-best form at 1m6f-2m this season and should be bang there once again. |
|||
3rd (8)  (11/4 +58%)Grateful |
11/4(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Grateful 11/4, Showed much improved form to spring a mild surprise upped markedly in trip in 10-runner Stanerra Stakes at Fairyhouse (14f, good), always holding on despite flashing tail. Seemed unsuited by the track at Goodwood since and remains with potential around this sort of trip. Some progress from off the pace to finish just under 3l behind Night Sparkle at Goodwood. |
|||
4th (4)  (7/1 -27%)Scenic |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Scenic 7/1, Merit seemed to have been established but she has improved of late, impressive winner of a listed event at York 3 weeks ago. Stays this far and worth a shot. Upped her game markedly for smooth 1m4f Listed win at York, after close French 1m7f third. |
|||
5th (5)  (13/8 +80%)Sumo Sam |
13/8(+80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sumo Sam 13/8, Nathaniel filly who made all in Group 2 at Goodwood last season and confirmed that was no fluke when following up in similar style in this race. Well held all 3 starts since, however, so arrives with something to prove. Won this last year; made a satisfactory return from wind surgery but needs a downpour. |
|||
6th (7)  (33/1 -32%)Ambiente Amigo |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ambiente Amigo 33/1, Won maiden/novice events on turf and AW for Michael Bell at 2 yrs and has acquitted herself well in defeat this season. Not up to this level, however. In frame in two 1m4f Listed races on good to firm at Newmarket this summer; plenty to find. |
|||
7th (10)  (9/2 +44%)Oxford Comma |
9/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Oxford Comma 9/2, Nathaniel filly who defied a penalty at the first time of asking in 12-runner novice at Doncaster (11.9f, good to soft) 48 days ago, showing a good burst of speed to settle things quickly. This is a big step up back from a break but she will go on improving. Highly respected. Two novice wins on softer than good; needs better but on her way up; shapes like a stayer. |
|||
8th (1)  (12/1 +0%)Gather Ye Rosebuds |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gather Ye Rosebuds 12/1, Improved when recording third career success in 1½m Goodwood listed race (soft). Struggled in Group 3 at York since, however, and it's beginning to look as though testing ground might be a necessity for her. Off 110 days. Hood on 1st time. Off since a disappointing run in May; a hood goes on; may need ground softer than good. |
|||
9th (6)  (11/1 +45%)Sweet Memories |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sweet Memories 11/1, Came a long way in a short space of time last summer, winning listed race on July Course before second in Group 3 on the Rowley Mile. Ran no sort of race final start last term but shaped as if retaining all ability when fourth in the Lancashire Oaks on return. Next run best overlooked. Should stay. 1m4f Listed winner; needs a career best but 1m6f is well worth a go if she's back on song. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Night Sparkle looked set to play a hand in the finish before fading into fourth late on over an extended 2m at York last month and, dropping back in trip, a bold bid for the gold medal looks likely. That said, preference is for NAKHEEL. The unexposed daughter of Dubawi performed with plenty of credit when finishing a staying-on third over 1m4f at York latest and, upped in trip with cheekpieces enlisted for the first time, she can get her head in front. Last-time-out winners Oxford Comma and Scenic are also respected.
Three-year-olds have won the last 4 renewals but the older fillies may hold sway this time, with the likeable NIGHT SPARKLE making the most appeal back against her own sex. Scenic must come into the reckoning after her impressive win at York, while Mistral Star wasn't disgraced in the Yorkshire Oaks last time and should stay this far.
Among plenty of options, SCENIC and Nakheel from the Galtres may prove strongest, ahead of Night Sparkle and Mistral Star.

1st (1)  (10/1 +38%)Grey Cuban |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Grey Cuban 10/1, Improved for a hood when winning a pair of 1¼m Chester handicaps in July, the latter by 4½ lengths. Ran respectably in his hat-trick bid in a valuable York handicap (11.8f) last time and seems likely to give another good account. Improved form since the hood went on; stretched by 1m4f at York last month. |
|||
2nd (6)  (15/2 +6%)T'challa |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) T'challa 15/2, Resumed progress when winning 8-runner handicap (5/1) at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 26 days ago, suited by increase in trip and always holding on. That form has taken a couple of knocks, though, so more is required from a 5 lb higher mark. Two wins from his five starts and he's in good hands to continue to progress. |
|||
3rd (8)  (12/1 -50%)Magico |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Magico 12/1, Resumed progress back on all-weather when winning 8-runner handicap at Kempton (11f, 3/1) 15 days ago, suited by increase in trip and value for extra having conceded first run. Nudged up 4 lb and good chance if transferring that form back to turf. Won when up in trip and back on AW recently, but has to transfer improvement back to turf. |
|||
4th (10)  (9/2 +31%)Promethean |
9/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Promethean 9/2, Useful maiden who shaped well when second of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 20 days ago, having been caught further back than ideal. Of firm interest back up in trip. Stayed on for short-head second over 1m on h'cap debut; lots to like now back up in trip. |
|||
5th (7)  (13/2 +24%)Blake |
13/2(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Blake 13/2, Has gone the right way since handicapping, getting back to winning ways in 1¼m Sandown handicap in July. Raised 9 lb for that but he was well on top at the finish and the form has worked out well. Smooth soft-ground win at Sandown in July; 9lb rise may not stop him if conditions suit. |
|||
6th (3)  (4/1 +20%)Harper's Ferry |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Harper's Ferry 4/1, Bumped into a smart prospect on his C&D reappearance and didn't need to match that form to go one better at Windsor in April. Ran about as well as could have been expected upped significantly in grade at Royal Ascot (12f) subsequently and remains with potential back down in trip. Has been gelded. Travelled well in 1m4f Group 2 at Royal Ascot; could play leading role back down in trip. |
|||
7th (4)  (13/2 +0%)Fox Legacy |
13/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fox Legacy 13/2, Took a giant step forward when opening his account by a wide margin in 6-runner handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 28 days ago, kept up to work. Hiked up 16 lb and this is clearly a much deeper race. Hit with whopping 16lb rise for Salisbury but had bundles in hand; entitled to respect. |
|||
8th (9)  (25/1 +24%)Golden West |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Golden West 25/1, Decisive winner of minor events at Newcastle and Epsom both starts at 2yrs. Faced stiff tasks on first 2 starts this term but has been disappointing in 1¼m handicaps at Epsom and Newbury subsequently. It's too soon to write him off but he's failed to threaten in handicaps the last twice. |
|||
9th (5)  (7/1 -56%)Victorious Street |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Victorious Street 7/1, Returned from 10 months off with a much-improved effort to get off the mark in 14-runner maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 41 days ago. Likely to stay this longer trip and capable of better still on handicap debut. Unexposed colt who won on last month's reappearance; has potential off handicap debut mark. |
|||
10th (2)  (20/1 -67%)Theory Of Tides |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Theory Of Tides 20/1, Galileo colt who looked a good prospect when winning first 2 starts in novice events but was well held in a Group 2 at Royal Ascot and folded tamely as if something may have been amiss on handicap debut at Hamilton last time. Blinkers on for 1st time. Beaten a long way the last twice but with excuses; 2-2 prior to those and not written off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Fox Legacy fairly bolted up over this trip at Salisbury on just his second start in a handicap last month and, despite a 16lb hike for that performance, another prominent showing would come as no surprise. That said, VICTORIOUS STREET edges preference. The son of Street Sense pulled clear with a subsequent winner when scoring gamely over a mile at Southwell latest, and he warrants the utmost respect now stepping up in trip on his handicap debut. The class-dropping Harper's Ferry also merits consideration.
A good-quality 3-y-o handicap and the vote goes to bottom weight PROMETHEAN, who shaped well when runner-up at Newmarket on his most recent outing, having been caught further back than ideal, and looks comfortably ahead of his mark. Victorious Street stretched clear with a fellow improver in good style at Southwell and may do better still with the step up in trip likely to suit on handicap debut. Blake has been off since winning at Sandown in July but the form of that race has worked out well.
Having stayed on well for a short-head second over 1m on his handicap debut at Newmarket, the well-bred PROMETHEAN (nap) earns the vote

1st (1)  (13/2 -8%)Yaroogh |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Yaroogh 13/2, Very green on debut but much improved when successful at Haydock next time, before following up in straightforward fashion at Kempton (7f) in August. However, well held in Acomb Stakes at York 22 days ago, so bounce back called for now handicapping. Back-to-back wins before coming up well shy in a deep-looking Acomb at York. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/4 +17%)Spell Master |
11/4(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Spell Master 11/4, Continued his progress when dead-heating for first at Glorious Goodwood and ran at least as well on nursery debut when fourth of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Not taken lightly with cheekpieces added. Probably his best form yet when beaten just under 3l on his nursery debut at York. |
|||
3rd (3)  (2/1 +43%)Back In Black |
2/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Back In Black 2/1, Promise when runner-up first 2 starts before doing well in the circumstances when landing the odds (8/13) in a Yarmouth maiden (7f, good) last time, recovering from clipping heels 2f out. Major player with better still to come as he goes handicapping. Won well at Yarmouth and contests this instead of Saturday's Group 2 Champagne Stakes. |
|||
4th (5)  (5/1 -25%)Qaseem |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Qaseem 5/1, Showed a good attitude when making a winning nursery debut at Haydock (6f) in August. Improved further when third of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago, travelling strongly, and he can make his presence felt once more. Third in a big field at York; further 4lb rise asks a question of him but he's solid. |
|||
5th (7)  (14/1 +36%)Valsharah |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Valsharah 14/1, Left debut form behind when fifth of 12 in a Windsor novice in July and bounced back from a lesser effort when filling the same position on nursery debut at Sandown (7f, good) 12 days ago. Has something to find, though, as he bids to get off the mark. Positives to take from nursery debut but looks vulnerable in this classier contest. |
|||
6th (4)  (6/1 -20%)Thunder Wonder |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Thunder Wonder 6/1, With the form of his second run at Newmarket working out well, took a step forward when winning 10-runner novice at Thirsk (7f, good) last month. Needs to find more again as he makes his handicap debut. Ran in two good Newmarket races before making the most of an easier opening at Thirsk. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
QASEEM (third) fared best of those ridden prominently when getting the better of Spell Master (fourth) in a warm York nursery over this trip last month and, upped 4lb, Karl Burke's charge gets the vote to confirm his superiority over that rival en route to victory. Back In Black showed a likeable attitude to get off the mark over 7f at Yarmouth and must also enter calculations.
Having previously run to a fairly useful level, BACK IN BLACK did very well to overcome a bad stumble when getting off the mark at Yarmouth last month, so he could be capable of following up as he makes his nursery debut. He is taken to see off the challenge of the progressive Spell Master, with Jorge Alvares another to note on his handicap bow.
Yarmouth winner BACK IN BLACK looks progressive and he runs in this nursery in favour of a Group race here on Saturday.

10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Harmonia 10/1, Has improved for the switch to nurseries/step up in distance, making it back-to-back wins when scoring decisively at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August. Not ideally placed when third of 5 at Kempton (8f) last time, so she could be in the mix. Behind Brindavan last time when bidding for hat-trick, but not ruled out. |
|||
2nd (1)  (3/1 +14%)Pellitory |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pellitory 3/1, Continued his race-by-race progression when opening his account in 13-runner novice at Yarmouth (7f, good) 18 days ago, seeing out his race well despite having raced freely. Respected as he goes up in distance for his handicap bow. Won at Yarmouth on third and latest start and every chance he'll continue to progress. |
|||
3rd (4)  (15/8 +6%)Best Adventure |
15/8(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Best Adventure 15/8, Improved from debut when runner-up in a Lingfield maiden (7f, good to firm) in July and ran to similar level when fourth of 13 in stronger race at Sandown (7f, good to soft) later the same month. Leading contender with this longer trip to suit on handicap debut. 650,000gns Frankel colt who is bred to be suited by the step up in trip on nursery debut. |
|||
4th (2)  (11/2 -10%)Brindavan |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Brindavan 11/2, Ran to a fair level on his first 4 starts, before taking his form up a notch when making a winning nursery debut in 5-runner event at Kempton (8f) 22 days ago. Enters calculations back on turf now that he's up and running. Off the mark upped to 1m on nursery debut at Kempton; could have more to offer at the trip. |
|||
5th (5)  (11/1 +56%)Dukes Of Haather |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dukes Of Haather 11/1, Benefited from the application of blinkers when getting off the mark on nursery debut at Chester (7f) in July. Hasn't managed to build on that effort in 2 starts since, though, well-beaten fifteenth of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Won Chester nursery in July and 7f could suit, but no threat the last twice. |
|||
6th (3)  (8/1 -78%)Defence Missile |
8/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Defence Missile 8/1, Ran well when third in a Salisbury novice in July, before needing a stiffer test of stamina when 2¾ lengths fourth of 5 to Brindavan in nursery at Kempton (8f) 22 days ago. Can give another good account with cheekpieces on first time. Behind Brindavan on last month's nursery debut but cheekpieces may prompt improvement. |
|||
7th (7)  (10/1 -25%)Pivotal Days |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pivotal Days 10/1, Progressed gradually on his first 3 starts but, after 8 weeks off (gelded), couldn't find any further improvement when 3 lengths last of 5 to Brindavan in nursery at Kempton (8f) on his latest outing. Has work to do. It's very early days and he's shown signs of promise, but improvement is required. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having made a winning nursery debut at Kempton last month, Brindavan must enter calculations racing off just 4lb higher in the ratings. However, the James Owen-trained PELLITORY scored with something up his sleeve when opening his account at Yarmouth last time and an opening mark of 80 looks a workable one. Defence Missile warrants a second look now fitted with first-time cheekpieces.
BEST ADVENTURE confirmed the improvement he had shown on his second start when fourth behind a smart prospect at Sandown last time, again shaping as if a step up to 1m should suit, so he could be ready to get off the mark on his nursery debut. Pellitory is feared most as he heads into handicaps, ahead of Brindavan.
The step up to 1m could be a major positive for the 650,000gns Frankel colt BEST ADVENTURE and he can make a winning nursery debut.

10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kildare Legend 10/3, Promising son of Sea The Stars who confirmed improvement shown at Pontefract when opening his account in 13-runner novice at Southwell (11.1f) 45 days ago. Further step up in trip promises to suit now handicapping and he's well worth considering. An interesting handicap newcomer with potential and he shapes as if 1m4f will help. |
|||
2nd (5)  (11/1 +21%)Percy Shelley |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Percy Shelley 11/1, Useful performer in France who was successful 3 times in 2022. Yet to score in 10 attempts for current yard but has fallen in the weights and possibly found stamina stretched on softer ground when sixth at Goodwood (2m) 18 days ago. Claims back down in trip in refitted visor. 0-10 in Britain; encouragement given his falling mark and that he now returns to 1m4f. |
|||
3rd (12)  (7/1 +7%)Xiomara |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Xiomara 7/1, Represents a stable in fine fettle and deservedly opened her account in 14-runner French maiden at Dieppe (10.9f) 3 weeks ago. Unexposed at this trip now returning to handicaps and good showing anticipated under Tom Marquand. Won 1m3f maiden at Dieppe three weeks ago, after British 2nds in 1m2f handicaps. |
|||
4th (11)  (14/1 -40%)Trouville |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Trouville 14/1, Chased home smart sorts on first 2 starts before striking at the third time of asking at Chepstow (1¼m, good) at the end of May. Probably best to excuse his handicap debut at Goodwood (9.9f) 19 days ago (hampered by loose horse) and he's not one to write off. Up in trip. Looked a scopey sort likely to do well in handicaps, before something amiss 19 days ago. |
|||
5th (13)  (28/1 -40%)Soowaih |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Soowaih 28/1, Yet to taste success for this yard but ran well when runner-up at York (11.8f) in July. In better heart than recent form figures suggest, unable to land a blow in a modestly-run affair when seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 14 days ago. Not dismissed back down in trip. 0-11 since winning AW novice last October; closest this term in July on last run at 1m4f. |
|||
6th (10)  (15/2 +6%)Champagne Prince |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Champagne Prince 15/2, 2-2 on AW at the end of 2023. Below form first 2 starts this year but firmly back on track upped markedly in trip when second at Ascot (12f) in August. Seemingly failed to stay in the Melrose at York (13.8f) latest and this looks more suitable back down in class. Strong-finishing, neck second at Ascot (1m4f); pretty disappointing at York (1m6f) latest. |
|||
7th (3)  (4/1 +50%)Indemnity |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Indemnity 4/1, Didn't need to be at best when opening his account in a Nottingham maiden (8.3f) in June. Run with credit all 3 starts since, not seen to very best effect when fifth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 30 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and one to consider. Expensive to follow with his sole win (nine races) coming at 1-2 in a maiden; new trip. |
|||
8th (4)  (20/1 -100%)Per Contra |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Per Contra 20/1, Lightly-raced sort who made it 3-4 with reappearance victory in 5-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) in April. Given a break since finishing well held at York (10.2f) in May and feasible to think he could yet get back on the up. Three wins and two heavy defeats; absent since and brings very mixed messages. |
|||
9th (14)  (10/1 +0%)Raja Raja |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Raja Raja 10/1, Limited encouragement on debut but showed more next 2 starts, fifth of 12 in novice at this C&D (good to soft, 25/1) 88 days ago. Gelded since and he remains with potential now attentions switch to handicaps. Interesting if market speaks in his favour. Makes handicap debut after 88 days off and may now be a bit closer to the finished article. |
|||
10th (6)  (17/2 -89%)Lyric |
17/2(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lyric 17/2, Confirmed promise of debut effort when taking 8-runner maiden at Windsor (10f) in April. Still looked in need of experience when sixth of 7 in listed race at Goodwood (11.2f) a month later but switch to handicaps more suitable back from a break. Second favourite for Listed race in May latest but did not live up to that; one to note. |
|||
11th (2)  (40/1 -21%)Graphite |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Graphite 40/1, Veteran who was better for return spin/following a wind op when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 42 days ago, no match for an upwardly mobile 3-y-o. Comes here fresh for this time of year and he's not out of things from this sort of mark. Veteran who is on losing spell of over three years; very lightly raced on turf these days. |
|||
12th (7)  (16/1 -60%)Ludo's Landing |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ludo's Landing 16/1, Consistent sort who picked up his second success of the campaign at Beverley (10f) 18 days ago, well positioned. Yet to defy a mark this high though, and this rates tougher back up in trip. Very reliable, never better than for Beverley win latest; bit more to prove back at 1m4f. |

18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ensured 18/1, Successful on final start for James Fanshawe at Brighton (11.9f) and followed up after 4 months off/in cheekpieces on debut for new yard at Newmarket (12f) in August. Not disgraced upped to 2m at York latest but this drop back in trip may suit. Two 1m4f wins back in Britain, before never dangerous over 2m at York three weeks ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
KILDARE LEGEND supplemented his close-up second at Pontefract with a ready victory over 1m3f at Southwell later in July. This extra furlong looks likely to suit the Sea The Stars gelding and a double could be on the cards on his handicap bow. Lyric is also interesting off an opening mark of 89 and the market may guide on his return from a 110-day layoff. Xiomara and Ludo's Landing are other key players.
In a wide-open finale, it could just be worth chancing David O'Meara's PERCY SHELLEY. He's been far from disgraced tackling longer trips in recent weeks and, having steadily eased in the weights, he's of interest with a visor refitted. Southwell scorer Kildare Legend and Lyric are a pair of 3-y-os also fancied to be in the mix. Soowaih also makes each-way appeal.
The 3yos will probably have the edge, given that several should still bring potential, and the key horse may well be LYRIC.
Ths is the racecard key.
