1st (1)  (11/10 +33%)Giselles Defence |
11/10(+33%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Giselles Defence 11/10, Made a bright start for new stable this spring, runner-up at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) prior to shedding maiden tag in good style at Pontefract (10f) in May. Experiment with cheekpieces didn't really work but right back on track when runner-up at Leicester 18 days ago. 1m2f winner on soft for new yard in May; good 2nd latest; acted on good ground in Ireland. |
|||
2nd (5)  (20/1 -344%)Mrembo |
20/1(-344%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mrembo 20/1, Back-to-back handicap winner in August/September. More consistent than most at this sort of level but she did turn in a rare poor effort at Newbury last week. Has C&D form; won three for O Tubb in 2023; below best latest; might well revive. |
|||
3rd (3)  (25/1 -456%)Oj Lifestyle |
25/1(-456%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Oj Lifestyle 25/1, Newbury maiden winner in August 2022. Hasn't stood that much racing since and this season's efforts hardly brimming with promise but this represents a drop in class. Mostly well beaten since 7f win as 2yo; 11lb lower than when 3rd over 1m here in October. |
|||
4th (2)  (25/1 -233%)Silver Nightfall |
25/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Silver Nightfall 25/1, Now below his last successful mark, gained at Kempton in August but she ended her time with Gay Kelleway in disappointing fashion. First run since February and market can guide. Three AW wins in 2023; out of sorts in midwinter; new yard; 0-4 on turf but acts on grass. |
|||
5th (6)  (100/1 -1900%)Daisy Roots |
100/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Daisy Roots 100/1, Runner-up 3 times in a row this spring and a shade better than the result at Chester 3 weeks ago given she didn't get a totally smooth passage. Does have to prove stamina for this far. Has won at 1m2f; running well in defeat at 1m and 7f in 2024; yet to win a turf handicap. |
|||
6th (4)  (100/1 -900%)Eklil |
100/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Eklil 100/1, Now 7 lb below his last winning mark but that due to the fact he hasn't found his feet for his new yard, displaying temperament to boot. Hopes pinned on a breathing operation doing the trick. Three wins at 1m/1m2f for previous yard; well held back on turf latest; wind op since. |
|||
7th (7)  (50/1 -213%)Roundabout Silver |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Roundabout Silver 50/1, Bath winner last summer but yet to get going this term campaigned over 1m, dropping away at Brighton. Cheekpieces on upped in trip. Both wins at 1m; never involved in sole 1m2f run; out of sorts; cheekpieces fitted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DAISY ROOTS has been running consistently well for a number of weeks and the manner of those efforts have all suggested a step back up in distance could see her get back to winning ways. Giselles Defence must enter calculations based on his second at Leicester, while the return to a more unconventional track might aid the cause of Mrembo.
Unlike most of his rivals, GISELLES DEFENCE arrives in good nick and has no stamina concerns over this trip, so he's very much the percentage call. Oj Lifestyle isn't easy to assess but he's very well handicapped these days, with Mrembo more likely than not to bounce back from a lesser effort last time given her profile.
Although GISELLES DEFENCE's best form in Britain has come on slower surfaces he acted on good ground in Ireland and is in good form.

1st (5)  (9/2 +10%)Hot Cash |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hot Cash 9/2, Foaled March 5. 20,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot colt. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Hatta Fort and useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Blue Bayou. Interesting newcomer. 20,000gns yearling, by Too Darn Hot; first foal; dam 1m2f/1m4f winner (inc Gr 3; RPR 109). |
|||
2nd (4)  (4/1 -78%)Sir Peter Fossick |
4/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sir Peter Fossick 4/1, Foaled March 7. €20,000 foal, €45,000 yearling, Footstepsinthesand colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 6f winner Great White Eagle, useful winner up to 1m Kings Shield. Dam 7f-1m winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. 45,000euros yearling; 11th foal; half-brother to six winners, three with peak RPRs 106-112. |
|||
3rd (6)  (100/1 -3233%)Jack Andrea |
100/1(-3233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jack Andrea 100/1, Time Test colt who showed promise when third of 8 in 7f maiden at Leicester (good, 33/1) on debut 18 days ago. That is the best form on offer, and he has obvious claims. 33-1 and green when 3rd of 8 at Leicester (7f, good to soft) which sets the standard. |
|||
4th (3)  (100/1 -3536%)Dark Thunderstorm |
100/1(-3536%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dark Thunderstorm 100/1, Showed only a bit more than on debut when third of 10 in maiden (12/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 13 days ago. Third of ten at Chelmsford (6f, AW) latest, prominent long way and sticking to his task. |
|||
5th (1)  (80/1 -900%)Abstract Art |
80/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Abstract Art 80/1, Offered little when last of 8 in minor event at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. 14-1, got upset in the stalls and prominent to halfway at Goodwood (6f, good) on debut. |
|||
6th (2)  (100/1 -733%)Bracklesham Bay |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bracklesham Bay 100/1, Looked one for the longer term when seventh of 14 in maiden at Leicester (6f, good) on debut 29 days ago. 66-1, in touch 3f when about 10l seventh of 14 in maiden at Leicester (6f, good to soft). |
|||
7th (7)  (125/1 -25%)Liricist |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Liricist 125/1, Sent off 150/1 and showed only greenness when seventh of 8 in minor event at Salisbury (5f, good) on debut 39 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Gave trouble beforehand when 150-1 at Salisbury (5f, good) in May, always towards rear. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HOT CASH boasts a decent pedigree for a relatively cheap purchase, with his dam being a winner at Group 3 level, and he represents a yard that are holding their form well at this time of the year. He gets the vote to make a winning start to his career. Sir Peter Fossick is a half-brother to no less than six winners, including some very useful types, and he commands respect, while Jack Andrea and Dark Thunderstorm appeal most of those who boast racecourse experience.
SIR PETER FOSSICK makes plenty of appeal on paper being a half-brother to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 6f winner Great White Eagle, so he's fancied to get off to a winning start. Jack Andrea has the best piece of form on offer, with Hot Cash another newcomer to note.
The standard set by Jack Andrea and Dark Thunderstorm is not high. Newcomers SIR PETER FOSSICK and Hot Cash are well related

1st (1)  (10/3 -48%)Get It |
10/3(-48%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Get It 10/3, Not at best in Bahrain earlier in the year but back to form with a bang returned to these shores when scoring at Windsor 16 days ago. Up 4 lb but won off this mark in September so he's a strong contender. Most wins at 5f but held on well for 6f success at Windsor latest; still well treated. |
|||
2nd (2)  (28/1 -1767%)Mr Wagyu |
28/1(-1767%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mr Wagyu 28/1, Veteran on a long losing run but this C&D winner has a very good record here, as shown when just edged out over this trip on Derby Day. Not disgraced at Ripon since and big shout back at this venue. Latest win was 2 years ago but strong C&D form and only just touched off here on Derby day. |
|||
3rd (3)  (11/1 -10%)Princess Shabnam |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Princess Shabnam 11/1, Won a listed race at 3 yrs but hasn't scored since and form this year has been inconsistent. Others more solid. Taken a good drop in the weights over the last year but continues to tread water. |
|||
4th (4)  (66/1 -1000%)Indian Creak |
66/1(-1000%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Indian Creak 66/1, Below par on all 4 outings this year. However, latest fourth at Windsor was at least a step back in the right direction and he won this race last year off 2 lb higher. Interesting. Slow start to year but better latest and 2lb lower than when winning this in 2023. |
|||
5th (6)  (66/1 -560%)Betties Bay |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Betties Bay 66/1, In better form than recent form figures suggest but that's because she was too high in the handicap. Eased 4 lb since last run and headgear goes on, but she's back up in class. Not gone on from encouraging handicap debut over 6f on AW in February; cheekpieces on. |
|||
6th (5)  (66/1 -560%)Reveiller |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Reveiller 66/1, Made a winning debut at Salisbury in May last year. Failed to progress in the face of stiff tasks next 2 outings and little impact on handicap bow at Redcar after 11 months off 11 days ago. Headgear on and bit to prove now. Clear 5f winner on debut; highly tried after; well held on handicap debut after layoff. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MR WAGYU has been found an excellent opportunity to get his head back in front at a track where he has always run well. The nine-year-old has finished in the first three on each occasion, all of those efforts coming on Derby day since 2022, and this contest is unlikely to be as competitive. Get It returned from Bahrain to score at Windsor last month and is a player, along with Reveiller, who is entitled to benefit from first-time cheekpieces.
MR WAGYU was only just denied in a better race than this over C&D on Derby Day and can end his losing run. Get It took advantage of a drop in the weights returned to these shores at Windsor and remains on a winning mark, so is next best ahead of Indian Creak (won this last year off 2 lb higher), who took a step back in the right direction when fourth in the same race.
Last year's winner INDIAN CREAK is well treated again and he hinted at a revival last time. Mr Wagyu also has strong C&D form.

1st (3)  (7/1 -110%)Incremental |
7/1(-110%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Incremental 7/1, Scored at Windsor in May only to come in last of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Needs to get back on track. All-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May; flopped at Thirsk 18 days later. |
|||
2nd (5)  (14/1 +30%)Haliphon |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Haliphon 14/1, It's now 17 runs since his last win in 2022 and he came in only sixteenth of 18 in handicap at York (11.8f, soft) 18 days ago. Others appeal more. His form went the wrong way last winter and was a good deal worse on both runs this summer. |
|||
3rd (1)  (100/1 -2757%)Wahraan |
100/1(-2757%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wahraan 100/1, Temperamental sort but he landed 6-runner handicap at Newbury (12f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Needs to back it up now under a 5 lb penalty. Twice blew it badly at the start this term; got it right at Newbury last week; 5lb penalty. |
|||
4th (2)  (66/1 -843%)Crescent Lake |
66/1(-843%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Crescent Lake 66/1, Arrives in decent nick, not lasting home when eighth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Down in trip and one to consider. Form dipped on latest start; it had looked as if 1m6f-2m was more his thing these days. |
|||
5th (8)  (100/1 -1567%)Alpen Power |
100/1(-1567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Alpen Power 100/1, In good form without winning this term, third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Expected to be bang there eased 1 lb. Has made much less of an impact in his four races on turf; now goes up in trip. |
|||
6th (7)  (80/1 -1500%)Atlantic Convoy |
80/1(-1500%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Atlantic Convoy 80/1, Son of Galileo who took a step forward when seventh of 13 in maiden at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Up in trip for his handicap debut. Player with blinkers added. More is seemingly needed to live up to this opening mark; different ground; blinkers go on. |
|||
7th (4)  (50/1 -733%)Gozo |
50/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gozo 50/1, Landed 17f hurdle at Plumpton on NH debut when last seen out 9 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running back in this sphere on his comeback. 0-8 on Flat but ran well on first three outings last term; hurdles win in September latest. |
|||
8th (6)  (100/1 -1329%)Ectocross |
100/1(-1329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ectocross 100/1, Course winner who recorded a respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, soft) 8 months ago. No forlorn hope on his return. More to prove over this far but needs a close look for yard which has had recent winners. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WAHRAAN bounced back to form with a victory over this trip at Newbury last week and a 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him here. That said, Alpen Power has not been disgraced on his last couple of starts and should not be discounted. The unexposed Atlantic Convoy edges out Incremental and Crescent Lake to be best of the rest.
Ralph Beckett's son of Galileo ATLANTIC CONVOY appeals as a likely improver now stepping into handicap company with his stamina drawn out more so gets the nod. Alpen Power is weighted to go well and next on the list ahead of Crescent Lake who rates the pick of the rest for minor honours.
With one or two doubts over each of his rivals, a chance is taken on the reappearing ECTOCROSS.

(5)  (14/1 -100%)Robert Walpole |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Robert Walpole 14/1, Dual Flat winner for Roger Varian in 2022. Has dropped a long way in the weights and produced his best effort for this stable (which has recently hit form) when second at Brighton 15 days ago. Not dismissed. Best effort for a while came on latest start when 2nd at Brighton (1m4f) under Joe Leavy. |
|||
1st (7)  (33/1 +18%)Martin Spirit |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Martin Spirit 33/1, Poor handicap hurdler who down the field at Southwell last time. Blinkered for this return to the Flat and he's potentially well treated. Seen far more often over jumps; has not accomplished a great deal in his six races on Flat. |
|||
2nd (12)  (33/1 -32%)Fighting Poet |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Fighting Poet 33/1, Limited maiden who didn't feature in a poor race at Lingfield last time. Others are more persuasive. 0-18; second on AW twice; has hardly been seen on turf, respectable fourth last May (1m6f). |
|||
3rd (2)  (14/1 -133%)Angel On High |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Angel On High 14/1, 9/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 30 days ago, well positioned. One to be interested in. Bang there on last three outings, over 11.4f at Windsor latest; each-way candidate. |
|||
4th (6)  (66/1 -780%)The Conqueror |
66/1(-780%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Conqueror 66/1, Scored at Brighton in May. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) a month ago. Likely to be in the mix. Fortunes turned in the winter and that's extended to turf season; neck 2nd on latest start. |
|||
5th (15)  (100/1 -1567%)Standbackandlook |
100/1(-1567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Standbackandlook 100/1, Still not completely exposed and seemed to benefit from the step up in trip when a clear second at Windsor 4 days ago. Upped further in distance and capable of getting involved if the race doesn't come too soon. Two seconds lately, latterly over 11.4f at Windsor (good to firm) only four days ago. |
|||
6th (3)  (11/1 -120%)Thursday |
11/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Thursday 11/1, Winner at Windsor in June. Very good second of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm, 6/5) 11 days ago, no match for winner. One to consider. Won at Windsor (11.4f) 16 days ago and 2nd at Lingfield (11.6f) 11 days ago, in classified. |
|||
7th (1)  (28/1 -75%)Fravanco |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fravanco 28/1, On a feasible mark and seemed to react well to first-time cheekpieces when fifth at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Not one to rule out. Not so good on last three starts since; needs a revival and has more to prove on turf. |
|||
8th (9)  (100/1 -300%)Imperial Cult |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Imperial Cult 100/1, Modest handicapper who has lost his form lately. Hard to make a case for. 16-race maiden and has not threatened to make the breakthrough this year. |
|||
9th (11)  (100/1 -203%)Certain Style |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Certain Style 100/1, Modest filly who didn't convince with her stamina for this trip at Windsor last time. Has more to prove than some. 12-race maiden; the move up to 11.4f on latest start failed to prove her stamina. |
|||
10th (8)  (100/1 -1011%)Fullforward |
100/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fullforward 100/1, Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Claims if he can back that up. Both wins (26 races) came in headgear; has done enough this year to be given a second look. |
|||
11th (13)  (100/1 -1011%)Gilbert |
100/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Gilbert 100/1, Capable from this mark on his day and took a positive step despite meeting trouble when third at Lingfield last time. Definite player if he can build on that. 2nd here last August; third in a Lingfield classified 11 days ago; not totally dismissed. |
|||
12th (4)  (80/1 -400%)Star Of Epsom |
80/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Star Of Epsom 80/1, Latest win at Lingfield in December and ran well the next two outings. Might have needed his return from a break at Windsor last time, so not ruled out back up in trip. Four wins over 1m2f on Lingfield AW, plus a 2nd over 1m4f; turf record far less persuasive. |
|||
13th (10)  (80/1 -400%)Stopnsearch |
80/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Stopnsearch 80/1, Hasn't won for some time and latest effort at Brighton doesn't suggest he's about to buck the trend. Bits of AW form last winter read well and he maybe needed latest start, after 12 weeks off. |
|||
14th (14)  (50/1 -1011%)Our Papa Smurf |
50/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Our Papa Smurf 50/1, Confirmed encouragement of reappearance at the second attempt when scoring at Goodwood last time. Type to go on progressing and is worth a chance to go in again. Won at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft) 19 days ago and this 3yo may well have more to offer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
In a wide-open event, marginal preference is for THE CONQUEROR, who was only beaten a neck into second off this mark when last seen at Windsor a month ago. Angel On High has also been running very well in defeat off his current mark of late, while recent Goodwood winner Our Papa Smurf has to be of interest. The shortlist is completed by Standbackandlook and Thursday.
OUR PAPA SMURF is unexposed in relation to his rivals and he took a step forward when winning a 13-runner handicap at Goodwood last time. The longer trip should be suitable and he's taken to edge out Thursday, who only found one too good at Lingfield 11 days ago. Angel On High is another one to consider.
The Conqueror and Angel On High appear solid to run well but Our Papa Smurf and THURSDAY are far more lightly raced.

33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Little Boy Blue 33/1, Won a 7f Chepstow handicap last June and third in this race on his next start. Feasibly handicapped again but his peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 7 months off. Third in this race last year; may prove best watched on this first outing since November. |
|||
2nd (5)  (6/1 -20%)Tropez Power |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tropez Power 6/1, Last 3 wins on AW at Southwell but recent turf efforts have been creditable. Not discounted. On the premises on turf on last three outings and that puts him firmly in the mix. |
|||
3rd (10)  (16/1 -113%)Mister Bluebird |
16/1(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mister Bluebird 16/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Now 5 lb below the mark he defied over 7f at Goodwood last summer. Capable of going well. Two minor honours from three races this season; very well handicapped on best 2023 efforts. |
|||
4th (3)  (20/1 -186%)Good Karma |
20/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Good Karma 20/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o but his 3 efforts this season have been a little underwhelming. This is less competitive than the big-field sprint he contested at York last time but others have less to prove. Handicap career has not flourished in three runs this season, dropped 7lb in the process. |
|||
5th (4)  (100/1 -900%)Holy Fire |
100/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Holy Fire 100/1, Bounced back from a poor run on soft ground at Thirsk when creditable fourth of 11 over 7f at Kempton 35 days ago. Needs to prove he's as effective on turf. Only two turf races, when below form at Ascot last July and pulled up at Thirsk this May. |
|||
6th (1)  (16/1 -45%)Sir Winston |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sir Winston 16/1, Three-time winner last term, including C&D. Recorded a couple of creditable efforts in Bahrain at the start of 2024 but ran below form on his British return at Goodwood last month. 7f wins in 2023 at Brighton and Epsom; mixed winter in Bahrain and well held at Goodwood. |
|||
7th (7)  (33/1 -500%)Marlay Park |
33/1(-500%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Marlay Park 33/1, Four-time C&D winner and another creditable effort over C&D when fourth at the end of May. Not so good at Lingfield since but his record here affords him respect. Competitive in all but one of his 15 races at Epsom, winning four and runner-up in five. |
|||
8th (8)  (100/1 -1567%)Hodler |
100/1(-1567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hodler 100/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Nearly 4l behind Marlay Park on Oaks day; most of his good runs on ground softer than good. |
|||
9th (6)  (100/1 -1900%)Justcallmepete |
100/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Justcallmepete 100/1, Lower in the weights on turf and he ran well for fourth in a big field at York last time. Should be capable of winning from this mark. Led over 1f out when fourth of 16 at York (7f, good to soft) on latest outing. |
|||
10th (2)  (25/1 -257%)Spanish Star |
25/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Spanish Star 25/1, C&D winner. 14/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Doubts about whether he's at the top of his game right now but this is a drop in grade having contested Class 2/3 events previously this season. Won off 4lb higher over C&D last June; not disgraced here on penultimate start. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
JUSTCALLMEPETE has dropped to an eye-catching mark and his most recent fourth at York a few weeks ago suggests that he could be hard to stop in a race of this nature. Tropez Power scored at Southwell in April and has not been disgraced on any of his three subsequent starts. With that in mind, he could prove to be the main danger, ahead of Hodler and Mister Bluebird.
Perhaps this is the day when JUSTCALLMEPETE cashes in on his lower turf mark. Marley Park's fine C&D record makes him a must for the shortlist, while Mister Bluebird and Tropez Power are both more than capable from their current marks.
Cases can be made for Mister Bluebird and Tropez Power but it is not hard to side with course specialist MARLAY PARK (nap).

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.

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.
