1st (4)  (7/1 -27%)Crimson Spirit |
7/1(-27%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Crimson Spirit 7/1, Left debut run well behind when fourth of 12 in novice event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago, running on. 7f will suit on that evidence. Respected. Close fourth over 6f last time; may improve further provided he stays 7f. |
|||
2nd (7)  (0.73/1 -9%)Get Jiggy With It |
0.73/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Get Jiggy With It 0.73/1, Matched debut form when third of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, soft) 25 days ago. That is the best form on offer and she's still not the finished article. Placed in 7f fillies' maidens at two major festivals; the clear form pick. |
|||
3rd (2)  (6/1 +14%)Magico |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Magico 6/1, Tongue strap on but displayed clear ability when fifth of 11 in novice event at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago, finishing with running left. Should have more to offer. Shaped with promise at Haydock; possibilities if building on that effort. |
|||
4th (5)  (4/1 +33%)Daymer Bay |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Daymer Bay 4/1, Took another small step forward when second of 14 in novice event at Doncaster (7f, soft) 37 days ago. Likely to give it another good go. Consistent thus far; good second at Doncaster upped to 7f last time. |
|||
5th (3)  (18/1 -50%)Burdett |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Burdett 18/1, Foaled March 24. 49,000 gns foal, 25,000 gns yearling, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Mytilda. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner (stayed 1m) Ivawood. 25,000gns yearling; sole newcomer in the field; market instructive. |
|||
6th (6)  (50/1 -257%)Dufresne |
50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dufresne 50/1, Shaped quite well both starts, sixth of 11 in novice event at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 12/1) 17 days ago. Should progress. Should find handicaps more suitable shortly. |
|||
7th (1)  (50/1 -150%)Jean Ribault |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jean Ribault 50/1, Foaled April 18. Ribchester colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1¼m-15f winner Atzeco and useful 2-y-o 1m winner Blanchland. Dam unraced. Has a notable pedigree but merely hinted at ability on last month's debut at Ascot. Needs to improve plenty on Ascot effort; hood now applied. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The form of GET JIGGY WITH IT's recent Goodwood third took a timely boost when the winner went on to finish second in a Group 2 at Deauville next time and she might prove tough to beat if running to a similar level today. Daymer Bay hit the woodwork at Doncaster last month and he should be on the premises along with Crimson Spirit, whose pedigree would suggest he ought to appreciate this step up in trip.
CRIMSON SPIRIT stuck to his task well when fourth over 6f at Nottingham recently and with more to come over 7f he gets the tentative nod in what looks a trappy maiden. Get Jiggy With It brings the best form to the table and gets weight all round so she's an obvious threat, with Magico a potential improver.
Having been placed in maidens at the Newmarket July festival and Glorious Goodwood, GET JIGGY WITH IT brings strong form claims.

1st (3)  (7/1 -27%)Sir Winston |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sir Winston 7/1, Took his form to another level when scoring in good style at Brighton in June. Only seventh of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago but the sort to bounce back. Should take well to Epsom, having gained both wins at Brighton; interesting contender. |
|||
2nd (4)  (4.5/1 +18%)G'Daay |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) G'Daay 4.5/1, Four-time winner last year who got off the mark for 2023 over C&D last month. Posted a fair third in the mud at Chester last time so he should give another good account. Back in better form since wearing visor, notably winning over C&D two starts ago. |
|||
3rd (1)  (3.33/1 -48%)Wild Lion |
3.33/1(-48%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wild Lion 3.33/1, Lightly-raced 5-y-o who confirmed himself equally as effective on turf as AW when landing 7f York handicap in June. Posted a good fourth of 11 there following month so he has to be of interest again after a break. Useful form at York since wearing cheekpieces, winning gamely over 7f then fourth over 1m. |
|||
4th (6)  (4.5/1 +18%)Marlay Park |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Marlay Park 4.5/1, Three-time C&D winner who comes here in good nick, fourth of 9 in handicap back over C&D (good) 54 days ago. Merits consideration eased 1 lb. Sound record at Epsom includes three wins; made the frame here the last twice. |
|||
5th (2)  (8/1 -60%)Chartwell House |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chartwell House 8/1, Scored at Haydock in June and not disgraced when seventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago. This C&D winner needs considering. Scored on this card last year; has some good 7f form this season; held over 1m last time. |
|||
6th (5)  (2.5/1 +29%)New Business |
2.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) New Business 2.5/1, Progressive sort who got off the mark in 7f novice at Kempton in June. Very good fourth (given he raced keenly) on his handicap debut at Sandown (7f, good) since. Type to go on improving, especially if he settles better. Player. Respectable fourth at Sandown on handicap debut; unexposed 3yo who warrants respect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
WILD LION posted a solid fourth off this mark in a warm 0-105 handicap at York last month and The Last Lion gelding looks well capable in these calmer waters, despite having to saddle the burden of top-weight. The unexposed New Business, who was far from disgraced on his handicap bow 51 days ago, can make his presence felt from a 1lb lower mark. G'daay is fancied to chase the pair home ahead of Chartwell House.
None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to NEW BUSINESS who did well to come home fourth on his handicap debut at Sandown given he went freely and can continue on the up to resume winning ways. Both Marlay Park (second choice) and Chartwell House arrive in good nick and have winning C&D form so could emerge as the chief threats in a competitive handicap.
Returned to an ideal-looking scenario, SIR WINSTON remains open to further improvement. Chartwell House is second choice.

1st (11)  (12/1 -118%)Belgoprince |
12/1(-118%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Belgoprince 12/1, Winner of a Tipperary handicap last month and creditable second of 15 at Killarney (1¾m, good) subsequently. 2 lb nudge fair enough and and should make his presence felt back down in trip here. One of two Irish raiders; back in good form last month; could go well. |
|||
2nd (8)  (2.75/1 +31%)Liberated Light |
2.75/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Liberated Light 2.75/1, Opened his account at the ninth attempt when driven out to land a 14-runner maiden at Killarney (1¾m, good to soft) last month. Returns to handicap company on a stiff-looking mark, though. Eyectaching contender under Champion Bumper-winning rider John Gleeson. |
|||
3rd (6)  (10/1 -100%)Warning Sign |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Warning Sign 10/1, Successful at 2 yrs in France and produced by far his best effort on these shores when going close under David Dunsdon at Newbury (1¼m, good to soft) last month. 1 lb nudge fair enough and possibilities if coping with this step up in trip. Went close under David Dunsdon at Newbury last time; one to consider. |
|||
4th (3)  (11/1 +21%)Sun King |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sun King 11/1, Maiden winner for Aidan O'Brien last season and, save for a below-par display at Chepstow (1m) recently, he hasn't done much wrong since joining present yard. Stamina to prove now venturing beyond 1¼m for the first time but each-way chance if he does see it out. Has stamina to prove but being by Galileo is cause for some optimism. |
|||
5th (9)  (16/1 -33%)Restorer |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Restorer 16/1, Arrives here on a long losing run but he has posted a number of creditable efforts in defeat in the interim. Furthermore, he has slipped to a career-low mark and it would be no surprise whatsoever if this 11-y-o is involved in the finish. Veteran who is on a three-year losing spell; others preferred. |
|||
6th (7)  (6/1 +8%)Warhol |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Warhol 6/1, Got off the mark at Windsor in April and backed it up with an excellent second of 18 at Newbury the following month. Wasn't beaten far back from a break here 25 days ago and he needs considering back up in trip with Simon Walker booked. Consistent this season; solid contender with useful amateur Simon Walker booked. |
|||
7th (4)  (33/1 -83%)Ring Of Beara |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ring Of Beara 33/1, Hasn't fired in this sphere since landing a Ffos Las maiden at 2 yrs and his effort at Haydock when returning from a break did little to suggest that he's about to turn things around. 0-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current yard, well beaten most recently. |
|||
8th (5)  (9/1 +10%)Premiere Ligne |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Premiere Ligne 9/1, Dual winner in France and stepped up on first 2 starts for current yard when runner-up at Lingfield in June. Put in another good shift when fourth at Brighton (11.9f, good) recently and perhaps the addition of cheekpieces will help eke out a little more. Gives the impression he'll take well to Epsom and first-time cheekpieces; interesting. |
|||
9th (2)  (5/1 +9%)Citizen General |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Citizen General 5/1, Looked better than ever in first-time blinkers when routing the opposition at Pontefract (1½m, good) 8 days ago. Leading claims turned out quickly under a penalty here. Won by wide margin in first-time blinkers at Pontefract; good chance under 5lb penalty. |
|||
10th (1)  (28/1 -133%)Appier |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Appier 28/1, Enhanced excellent strike rate at Lingfield in June and followed that with a solid effort in defeat at Newcastle. Latest effort in 2m Ascot handicap was underwhelming but not without each-way hope back down in trip here. Has form figures of 3131 in his races at about 1m4f this season; not dismissed. |
|||
11th (10)  (5.5/1 +39%)Captain Haddock |
5.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Captain Haddock 5.5/1, Winner of this race in 2021 and wasn't ideally placed when sixth in last year's renewal. 7 lb lower in the weights 12 months on and, having performed well when runner-up back here last time, he has to enter calculations. Won this race off 10lb higher two years ago; second in Ladies' Derby here last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having landed this contest in 2021, CAPTAIN HADDOCK returned to finish sixth in the corresponding event 12 months ago. Heather Main's charge is 7lb lower today and his recent C&D second would suggest he might be ready to exploit a sliding handicap mark. Citizen General merits the utmost respect under a 5lb penalty having bolted up at Pontefract eight days ago, while the consistent Warhol is unlikely to be far away in the capable hands of Simon Walker.
Preference is for WARHOL, who is entitled to come on for his latest run here when returning from a break of almost three months and the booking of top amateur Simon Walker adds to his appeal. The 2021 winner of this race, Captain Haddock, is lurking on an attractive mark and may emerge as the main danger, provided he doesn't get caught too far back, while recent wide-margin Pontefract winner Citizen General and Restorer are others to consider.
Several runners are appealing, most notably PREMIERE LIGNE. Second choice is Liberated Light.

(4)  (18/1 -100%)Zhang Fei |
18/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Zhang Fei 18/1, Good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 28/1), well positioned. Off 132 days. First run for yard after leaving Paul & Oliver Cole. Hood on 1st time. Generally reliable and feasibly treated, so not a forlorn hope if he's tuned up. Absent for four months; heed the market signals on debut for new yard. |
|||
1st (1)  (12/1 -9%)Satono Japan |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Satono Japan 12/1, Successful on AW sole start as a 2-y-o but went winless thereafter for Sir Michael Stoute. Fairly low-key start for his current yard, though not disgraced when fifth in Ascot handicap 45 days ago. Needs a step forward from that. Latest effort wasn't bad but his long losing spell tempers enthusiasm. |
|||
2nd (6)  (3.33/1 -21%)Oh So Grand |
3.33/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Oh So Grand 3.33/1, Doubled her tally with an easy success in 5-runner minor event at Wolverhampton in July. Bit disappointing at Lingfield next time but it's still early days and she may well get back on the up. Things went against her on handicap debut; still open to further improvement. |
|||
3rd (10)  (3.5/1 +56%)Flight Of Angels |
3.5/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Flight Of Angels 3.5/1, Made all in handicap at Wetherby (1¼m) in June and ran to a similar level on next 3 outings. Too free at Salisbury last time but no surprise if she's back on track. Non-stayer over 1m4f last time; consistent over 1m2f otherwise this term. |
|||
4th (2)  (7.5/1 -25%)Udaberri |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Udaberri 7.5/1, Has a poor strike rate and, while he's normally consistent, he arrives on the back of a sub-par showing at Sandown 72 days ago. Drop in trip may suit and he's worth monitoring in the betting. Best form is over 1m3f/1m4f but has place claims if coping with this trip. |
|||
5th (7)  (14/1 -40%)Light Up Our Stars |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Light Up Our Stars 14/1, On a dangerous mark and back in form when last seen, again hitting the frame when fourth at Ripon 99 days ago. Off since but he's scored here before and merits respect. Last appearance at Epsom resulted in a success off 3lb higher; interesting. |
|||
6th (8)  (66/1 -313%)Giovanni Baglione |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Giovanni Baglione 66/1, 1m winner as a 3yo but hit and miss this season and hard to recommend on the back of a tame stable debut at Sandown. Blew the start last time (stable debut); penultimate effort was encouraging. |
|||
7th (5)  (1.38/1 +50%)Ribal |
1.38/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ribal 1.38/1, Lightly-raced maiden who arrives in good order, third in a minor event at Bath last time. Cheekpieces could eke a bit more out of him, so likely to feature. Gives the impression he'll benefit from first-time headgear; remains of interest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The unexposed OH SO GRAND was not disgraced, despite being a beaten favourite, on her handicap debut at Lingfield a month ago and she merits the utmost respect in a race of this nature. Ribal remains a maiden but is more than capable of going well here and may even improve for the application of first-time cheekpieces. Light Up Our Stars and Zhang Fei are others to note.
OH SO GRAND looked progressive before a blip at Lingfield last time and she's worth a chance to resume winning ways. Fellow 3yo Ribal may pose the biggest threat, although Light Up Our Stars could feature if ready to go after a break.
First-time headgear may well enable RIBAL to build on some placed form and get off the mark. Oh So Grand is feared most.

1st (6)  (6/1 +45%)Kimifive |
6/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kimifive 6/1, His only win since 2019 came over 7f here a year ago. Hasn't obviously been shaping as if his turn is near this summer but he is down to only 1lb above that winning mark. | |||
2nd (7)  (11/1 -38%)Hi Clare |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hi Clare 11/1, Won at Pontefract (1m) in June and good second at Bath next time. Last 2 efforts not so good, although this is easier than the Goodwood Class 3 she contested last time. | |||
3rd (9)  (10/1 -100%)Otago |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Otago 10/1, Won at Brighton (7f) in April. Creditable third of 13 back at Brighton (1m, good) 19 days ago, nearest finish. | |||
4th (4)  (6/1 -9%)Bobby Dassler |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bobby Dassler 6/1, Won at Nottingham in May and also a good second over C&D in July. Possibly unsuited by very testing ground when only fifth back at Nottingham latest. Enters calculations under Hollie Doyle. | |||
5th (3)  (5/1 +44%)English Spirit |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) English Spirit 5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Back to form when fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m) last time. Oisin Muphy takes the ride and his yard is among the winners so there are reasons to be positive about his prospects. | |||
6th (1)  (2.75/1 +8%)Bowland Park |
2.75/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bowland Park 2.75/1, C&D winner earlier in his career who has been placed on both outings this season. Prominent showing on the cards. | |||
7th (2)  (16/1 -100%)Trais Fluors |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Trais Fluors 16/1, Back to winning ways at Goodwood (9f) in June. Hasn't helped himself with slow starts when running respectable races in defeat on both outings since. | |||
8th (8)  (4.5/1 +10%)Desfondado |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Desfondado 4.5/1, Got a race run to suit and stepped up considerably to run out a ready winner over C&D last month. Not in the same form when only fifth back here since. | |||
9th (10)  (80/1 -567%)Deceit |
80/1(-567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Deceit 80/1, Won in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh last summer but down the field in 2 outings for current yard just under a year apart. Could only consider if backed. | |||
10th (5)  (22/1 -38%)Dutch Kingdom |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dutch Kingdom 22/1, Won on AW handicap debut at Kempton in March but has found life tougher on the turf since. Now below that winning mark but needs to stage a revival. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
OTAGO displayed plenty of promise when a close third over a mile at Brighton last time and he could be hard to beat off the same mark here. That said, Bowland Park has made the frame in both starts this season and could give the selection plenty to think about. English Spirit edges out Kimifive and Trais Fluors to be best of the rest.
BOWLAND PARK is quite a classy sort for this level and can resume winning ways at a venue where he's tasted success before. Second choice is Bobby Dassler who had heavy ground as an excuse last time and had run well here prior to that. Heather Main's English Spirit also makes the shortlist.
The vote goes to BOWLAND PARK (nap), a C&D winner who returns to Epsom off a workable mark. English Spirit is second choice.

1st (3)  (1.75/1 +30%)Capital Guarantee |
1.75/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Capital Guarantee 1.75/1, Two from 2 for new yard, landing 7f 3-y-o Musselburgh maiden and Thirsk handicap. Still looked a little raw last time but he knuckled down well and big shout in hat-trick bid with Oisin Murphy booked. 2-2 for new stable and could well improve further; respected. |
|||
2nd (1)  (6/1 +50%)Larado |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Larado 6/1, Won the second race on this card last year and well handicapped if reviving after 2 poor runs this month. 2-4 at Epsom, including a win off 4lb higher on this card last year. |
|||
3rd (4)  (9/1 -13%)La Maquina |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) La Maquina 9/1, Multiple 7f winner who has offered a fair bit for new yard this term and lurks on a tempting mark. 0-4 for new yard this season; others are more appealing. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/1 -56%)Shoot To Kill |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shoot To Kill 7/1, Ended losing run in 1m Brighton handicap (40/1) 3 weeks ago. Couple of winners in behind and not handicapped out of things after 3 lb rise. Not sure to back up the form of his 40-1 win at Brighton. |

5th (2)  (2.25/1 +10%)Desert Falcon |
2.25/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Desert Falcon 2.25/1, Progressive, winning 7f Lingfield maiden and 6f Chepstow handicap before a fine run in 7f AW handicap at the former venue, likely to have pushed the winner closer had he applied himself better. Fitting of cheekpieces looks a good move and he's respected up 2 lb. Prescott 3yo who is still open to further progress; 2-2 on turf; major contender. |

5th (6)  (12/1 -33%)Secret Strength |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Secret Strength 12/1, Struck at Newbury (7f) in June and back to form when third at Lingfield last time. This is tougher. Back up in grade; more exposed than some of these rivals. |

7th (9)  (40/1 -60%)La Rav |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) La Rav 40/1, Won 1m Lingfield AW handicap in November but form patchy since, held over further here 7 weeks ago. Others preferred. Just one success on turf since 2017; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Capital Guarantee has to be of interest in his bid for a hat-trick, but the three-year-old will need to find more to defy a career-high mark, while similar comments apply to the in-form Desert Falcon. With that in mind, preference is for SECRET STRENGTH, who is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Newbury in June and he caught the eye when third at Lingfield last time.
Three-year-olds DESERT FALCON and Capital Guarantee make the most appeal. Cheekpieces are likely to bring about more improvement from Sir Mark Prescott's progressive charge and he gets the narrow vote over his hat-trick seeking rival. La Maquina and Larado, the latter a winner on this card last year, lurk on tempting marks and could go well.
This race may be fought out by the improving 3yos DESERT FALCON and Capital Guarantee, in that order.
