1st (6) (1.38/1 +50%) Daphne May |
1.38/1(+50%) | (6) Daphne May 1.38/1, Already a three-time winner this year, latest here in July, and he posted another good effort when second of 8 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Well in the mix. In-form mare who scored here on penultimate start; still favourably treated; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 +0%) Liseo |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Liseo 6/1, Remains a maiden but in good form until coming in last of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (12f) on soft ground 19 days ago. Cheekpieces replace visor now and not ruled out. Maiden; placed plenty of times, including both attempts in cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (1.5/1 +0%) Warhol |
1.5/1(+0%) | (3) Warhol 1.5/1, Got off the mark at Windsor in April and backed it up with an excellent second of 18 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 76 days ago, just failing. That form has worked out well so he's expected to be bang there. Unlucky at Newbury when last seen; major player if coping with drop back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/1 +59%) Dotties Star |
9/1(+59%) | (7) Dotties Star 9/1, Fair maiden who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 5 in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. One for the shortlist off a falling mark. Failed to improve in C&D events the last twice and remains a maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (40/1 -150%) Stopnsearch |
40/1(-150%) | (5) Stopnsearch 40/1, It's now 17 runs since his last win in 2021 and he came in last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 152 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with more required after a break. Absent for five months; has C&D form but has never won when fresh. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Warhol arrives in good form after his nose second at Newbury, but he has been upped 4lb for that and may find things happen too quickly for him dropping back in trip. He could run on into a place, but DAPHNE MAY is preferred. She has winning course form over further and has won over this trip elsewhere on a softer surface, while Anna Gibson claims a useflul 7lb from the saddle. Liseo is also noted.
None of these can be ruled out but WARHOL comes here on the back of an excellent Newbury second (form been franked) so edges the vote from in-form pair Wonder Starelzaam and Daphne May who can chase home George Baker's progressive 4-y-o in that order.
In-form mare DAPHNE MAY gets the vote. Warhol, assuming he copes with the return to 1m2f, is feared most.

1st (6) (2.25/1 -80%) Rednblue Sovereign |
2.25/1(-80%) | (6) Rednblue Sovereign 2.25/1, Fair maiden. Creditable third of 9 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Sets the standard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 +63%) Prepschool |
6/1(+63%) | (5) Prepschool 6/1, 20/1, needed experience when sixth of 11 in novice at Ascot (7f, soft) on debut 19 days ago. May do better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (14/1 -17%) High Point |
14/1(-17%) | (7) High Point 14/1, 34,000 gns New Bay colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Star Vega. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Matthew Flinders. Newcomer to monitor in the betting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4.5/1 +55%) I'm Puzzled |
4.5/1(+55%) | (2) I'm Puzzled 4.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in novice at Ascot (7f, soft, 10/1) 19 days ago. Likely to improve again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (4.5/1 +25%) Sahara Kitten |
4.5/1(+25%) | (1) Sahara Kitten 4.5/1, Green on debut and all the sharper for that when making all over C&D 29 days ago. Will need to improve again if he's to defy the penalty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (6.5/1 -63%) Mnawekh |
6.5/1(-63%) | (3) Mnawekh 6.5/1, Promising type. Second on Chester debut and ran to a similar level when fifth of 10 in what was probably a warm maiden at Newmarket's July meeting. Remains capable of better. Respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (8/1 +50%) Mullazem |
8/1(+50%) | (4) Mullazem 8/1, Displayed ability when eighth of 11 in novice event at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on debut in June. Expected to know more this time and take a jump forward. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (50/1 -100%) Mr Cliff |
50/1(-100%) | (8) Mr Cliff 50/1, 34,000 gns 2-y-o. Galileo Gold half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Comino and 9f/1¼m winner Manaia. Worth a precautionary market check. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Validated looks interesting as a son of Iffraaj related to numerous winners and he could go well first time out, a comment that also applies to New Bay colt High Point, who looks the part on paper, but it is still hard to oppose SAHARA KITTEN. James Tate's colt does have to give 7lb or more to all his rivals, but arrives as a C&D winner after scoring by a couple of lengths last month and, with that experience to call upon, he might well follow up.
A repeat of the form REDNBLUE SOVEREIGN has shown on his last 2 outings may be enough for him to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Mnawekh, I'm Puzzled and Mullazem look capable of better and may give Tom Dascombe's charge most to do in that order.
There's not a great deal between those who have run, with REDNBLUE SOVEREIGN narrowly making most appeal. Validated needs a check.

1st (1) (1.25/1 -4%) Sweet Fantasy |
1.25/1(-4%) | (1) Sweet Fantasy 1.25/1, Well ridden when a decisive scorer from the front at Leicester last week. Had the run of the race on that occasion but a 5 lb penalty won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Reliable sort and never better than when winning at Leicester (1m4f, soft) last Wednesday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (2.5/1 +29%) Haarar |
2.5/1(+29%) | (3) Haarar 2.5/1, Placed in a couple of small-field handicaps around this trip in May/June and ridden closer to the pace than ideal at Sandown a month ago. Likely to give it a good go. Not in peak form this year but there has been a little respite from the handicapper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (3.5/1 +36%) Naasma |
3.5/1(+36%) | (6) Naasma 3.5/1, Found improvement when scoring at Lingfield (10f) in June and backed that up with a brace of runner-up efforts last month. This is a deeper handicap but she's clearly in excellent order. Unraced on softer than good; on premises if acting on ground and taking to first headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (16/1 -33%) Swift Tuttle |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Swift Tuttle 16/1, Seen to good effect in a steadily-run race when second at Haydock but unable to back that effort up when last of 3 back at that venue in June. Inconsistent 11-race maiden; pipped on penultimate start; ran well on heavy last term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (22/1 -10%) Wilkie |
22/1(-10%) | (2) Wilkie 22/1, Winner in France but lightly raced for John Butler and falling in the weights without showing signs of taking advantage. Ex-French; fairly useful form on British debut (2022); no trace of that in four runs since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (14/1 +13%) Atalanta Breeze |
14/1(+13%) | (5) Atalanta Breeze 14/1, Successful at Brighton (11.9f) on her sole outing last year. Produced her best effort of the season when third at Wolverhampton and a steadily-run race was against her back on turf 3 weeks ago. 2-2 at Brighton; has won on good to soft, unraced on soft; mixed form messages this term. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Sweet Fantasy may prove popular here after winning a similar race at Leicester last month, but she has to carry a 5lb penalty here and has only been put up 4lb by the handicapper. She can still go well, but if a first-time visor brings any improvement from NAASMA, Pat Phelan's filly could win for the second time. She was hampered before finishing second here last month but may go one better now, while Atalanta Breeze is another to consider with both trip and ground expected to suit.
SWEET FANTASY was seen to good effect from the front at Leicester last week but she could do no more than win decisively and this low-mileage 4-y-o can follow up under a penalty. Haarar and Naasma head the opposition.
Last week's winner SWEET FANTASY looks the safest bet if it's soft ground. Naasma is a player judged on recent fast-ground form.

1st (1) (4.5/1 -64%) Redredrobin |
4.5/1(-64%) | (1) Redredrobin 4.5/1, Made it 4 wins in her last 6 starts when making all over C&D (good) 3 weeks ago. Another 4 lb higher and up against 3-y-os this time but she's likely to give it another good shot. Superb season with four wins, latest C&D; well beaten on softer than good (2020 and 2021). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (2/1 +11%) Kimnkate |
2/1(+11%) | (3) Kimnkate 2/1, Hasn't looked back since blinkered, making it 3 wins from 4 starts when merely kept up to her work to see off 6 rivals at Doncaster (7f, firm) 4 weeks ago. Going softer than good an unknown but she still looks feasibly treated. Has form figures of 1121 since wearing blinkers; unraced on softer than good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 +38%) Storymaker |
4/1(+38%) | (5) Storymaker 4/1, Fair maiden. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Beverley (7.5f, good to soft) 16 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to help her find a bit extra. Novice form has not been repeated in her two handicaps; connections turn to headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3/1 -33%) Chasseral |
3/1(-33%) | (2) Chasseral 3/1, AW novice winner last September. Yet to win in handicaps this year but she's shaped well on a few occasions and simply went off too hard at Newmarket (7f) last time. The refitting of a hood could help this free goer. Leading claims. Hood returns: best chance if having soft-ground form proves key. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 +70%) Puntarelle |
6/1(+70%) | (4) Puntarelle 6/1, Winner at Chelmsford (7f) in April but has since come up short in her 3 outings since. The return to 7f may help but others arrive with more pressing claims. Last two results are a worry, for all that they were over 1m; edging down the weights. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KIMNKATE is arguably unlucky not to have won her last four races on the bounce having been narrowly denied at Windsor in early July. The blinkers have clearly done the trick with her and she is taken to continue her progression. Chasseral is taking a welcome drop in class and can't be discounted along with last months C&D winner Redredrobin, who has been given a 4lb rise for that victory but can remain competitive.
If the refitting of a hood helps CHASSERAL to settle better she looks capable of winning off this mark. The thriving Kimnkate is the obvious threat.
Redredrobin and KIMNKATE have been in great form but neither has proved themselves on ground softer than good, so there's a risk.

1st (2) (5/1 +0%) Bear On The Loose |
5/1(+0%) | (2) Bear On The Loose 5/1, Off the mark at the second attempt in a novice at Yarmouth in April. Folded tamely at Newcastle next time but has had a break since and remains with potential. Made all on 2nd start (1m, soft); remote on AW since; conditions suit on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3.33/1 +45%) Sly Madam |
3.33/1(+45%) | (1) Sly Madam 3.33/1, Much sharper for return when resuming winning ways at Windsor in April. In-and-out form since but wasn't seen to best effect at Ascot last time and she's a previous C&D winner, so not without hope. 2-2 over C&D (good and heavy); of interest back here with ground conditions to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5.5/1 +45%) Dumfries |
5.5/1(+45%) | (3) Dumfries 5.5/1, Well supported and showed improved form when easily winning 12-runner maiden at Southwell in March. Back on track despite not getting home at Sandown last time and return to this trip should help. Can't be ruled out. AW winner at 1m in March; track/trip excuses since; acts on soft; return to 1m can suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (3.6/1 +35%) Almarin |
3.6/1(+35%) | (4) Almarin 3.6/1, Ran well at Doncaster in June and benefited from a drop back in trip when a good second at York despite a slow start last month. Has a bigger effort in him if he can break on terms. Form has see-sawed since 1m novice win as 2yo; respectable 1m handicap runs of late. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (3.33/1 -21%) Desfondado |
3.33/1(-21%) | (7) Desfondado 3.33/1, Got a race run to suit and stepped up considerably to run out a ready winner over C&D 3 weeks ago. May do better still, so merits strong consideration. Striking winner over C&D last month (good); up 7lb in higher grade; can improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (10/1 -100%) Serious Look |
10/1(-100%) | (6) Serious Look 10/1, Course winner who ran to form despite seeming unsuited by the drop in trip at Yarmouth last time. Strong claims returning to a more suitable distance with cheekpieces on for the first time. Course winner at 7f (soft) as 2yo; weak finisher at 1m on AW; needs more. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Bear On The Loose is worth forgiving his latest effort at Newcastle when stopping quickly. However, DESFONDADO was a comprehensive winner over C&D three weeks ago and a 7lb rise may not be enough to see him follow up for local trainer Simon Dow. Almarin has gone close on a couple of occasions already this term and it would be no surprise should he be in the mix at the business end of the race.
SERIOUS LOOK got back on track after a breathing operation when fifth at Yarmouth last time and he has the potential to do better with cheekpieces applied back up in trip. Desfondado is a danger following his clear-cut C&D win recently and Cobalt Blue can't be ruled out.
Bear On The Loose is respected but DESFONDADO is capable of progressing from an impressive win here three weeks ago.

1st (1) (40/1 -150%) Vinaka |
40/1(-150%) | (1) Vinaka 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden who failed to beat a rival at Kempton last time and arrives with something to prove. Seemed to stay 7f on AW as 2yo; close 3rd over 6f on reappearance; excuse since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2.75/1 +8%) Optiva Star |
2.75/1(+8%) | (4) Optiva Star 2.75/1, Well treated on juvenile form and has shaped better than the result on last two starts, not getting a clear run at a crucial stage when third at Lingfield 8 days ago. Worth taking a chance on. Mixed in handicaps but not clear run on last two starts, including over C&D; can go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (1.1/1 +27%) Twilight Dancer |
1.1/1(+27%) | (2) Twilight Dancer 1.1/1, Lightly-raced filly who took a marked step forward on just her second turf outing to score over C&D last time. Could do better again, so makes plenty of appeal. Looked promising when C&D winner last time; up 5lb but has hopes of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (22/1 +33%) Gintini |
22/1(+33%) | (7) Gintini 22/1, Looked rather limited as a 2yo and is likely to need this first run for 7 months. Others preferred. No waves in AW handicaps at 6f and 7f; turf debut after break and likely to be other days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (4/1 -14%) Lahina Bay |
4/1(-14%) | (5) Lahina Bay 4/1, Hit top form to score at Salisbury and Windsor last month and wasn't disgraced (not seen to best effect) at Lingfield 16 days ago. Not ruled out. Consecutive 6f wins in the spring; excuse latest; good chance of staying 7f; involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (10/1 -25%) Blue Curacao |
10/1(-25%) | (6) Blue Curacao 10/1, Hasn't had much racing for this yard and took a step back in the right direction when third to Twilight Dancer over C&D a fortnight ago. Hooded for the first time but hard to see him reversing form with that rival. Stays 7f; fair third to Twilight Dancer over C&D last month; hood fitted; involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (25/1 -56%) Macho Mania |
25/1(-56%) | (3) Macho Mania 25/1, Modest form for Hugo Palmer and didn't fare any better on debut for current yard in maiden at Yarmouth 15 days ago. Needs cheekpieces to perk him up. Early 6f promise on AW as 2yo but this year's form leaves something to be desired. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
TWILIGHT DANCER opened her account with a cosy victory over C&D a fortnight ago and the manner of her success suggested there may be more to come from this daughter of Twilight Son. The nature of this track could play to the strengths of Lahina Bay, who failed to land her hat-trick when last seen but is entitled to bounce back. Optiva Star did well to finish third, having been slowly away at Lingfield last week, and is worth noting.
OPTIVA STAR is on a handy mark and would have gone close with a clear run at Lingfield last time, so he's worth taking a chance on for all that Twilight Dancer was a comfortable winner over C&D last time. Lahina Bay had been in good form prior to an excusable run 16 days ago, so she's also worth respect.
Lahina Bay should stay 7f round here but TWILIGHT DANCER (nap) can go on from a likeable effort when winning over C&D last month.

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.
