1st (9) (13/2 -8%) Mr Baloo |
13/2(-8%) | (9) Mr Baloo 13/2, 13/2, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's not taken lightly. Made all at Salisbury (first run at 7f) and well drawn to adopt similar tactics. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 +75%) Rednblue Sovereign |
4/1(+75%) | (1) Rednblue Sovereign 4/1, C&D winner in August. Seventeenth of 20 in nursery (22/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago so needs to bounce back. C&D winner on a challenging mark but this is easier than York last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (10/1 -11%) Rating |
10/1(-11%) | (8) Rating 10/1, 16/1, good second of 9 in nursery at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 2 lb rise. Second in a Class 4 nursery at Sandown, her best effort yet; just 2lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/2 +15%) Ebt's Guard |
11/2(+15%) | (3) Ebt's Guard 11/2, Fair maiden. Good second of 5 in nursery (16/5) at Newbury (7f, heavy) 9 days ago. In the picture once more. Only headed late on by a Hannon improver last week at Newbury; up 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (14/1 -17%) The Smiling Wolf |
14/1(-17%) | (5) The Smiling Wolf 14/1, Winner at Ffos Las in September. 4/1, ninth of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. Needs to return to form. Won easily at Ffos Las (8lb lower) and perhaps the AW didn't suit him next time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (13/2 +7%) Pink Satin |
13/2(+7%) | (2) Pink Satin 13/2, Lightly-raced sort who scored at Windsor in June. Not discredited when fourth of 5 in nursery (11/8) at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and in the mix. On a dangerous mark and the tongue-tie could make a difference to her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (10/1 +50%) Barg |
10/1(+50%) | (6) Barg 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Ripon in June. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixteenth of 20 in nursery (22/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Headgear is left off now with a bit to prove. This easier than York last time but hasn't progressed from his Ripon win in June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (3/1 -60%) Mercian Warrior |
3/1(-60%) | (7) Mercian Warrior 3/1, 15/2, much improved when second of 12 in minor event at the Curragh (6.3f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Will stay 7f. Starts off in handicaps on a lenient mark and the one to beat. Second to a smart prospect in a sales race at the Curragh; might be well handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (28/1 -27%) Sennockian |
28/1(-27%) | (10) Sennockian 28/1, Fair maiden. Below-par fifth of 6 in nursery (18/1) at York (6f, good) 21 days ago. Can race off a 3 lb lower mark but still needs to step forward. Started well but now has a bit to prove and he's drawn wide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A number of these hold claims, but MERCIAN WARRIOR is the least exposed member of the party and his second in a valuable sales race at the Curragh three weeks ago looks very strong form. He may improve again for stretching out in distance and rates the one to beat. Ebt's Guard has been knocking on the door and should be thereabouts once again, while Pink Satin may bounce back to form with a tongue-tie equipped.
A few with chances but MERCIAN WARRIOR looks to have got in lightly for his nursery bow on the back of a fine recent Curragh second so earns a confident vote. Sandown runner-up Rating heads the list of dangers, although Salisbury-scorer Mr Baloo and in-form maiden Ebt's Guard can have a say too.
Ebt's Guard and Mr Baloo are big players but MERCIAN WARRIOR (nap) has to be of interest off this mark.

Golden West |
(1) (3/1 -20%)3/1(-20%) | (1) Golden West 3/1, 35,000 gns foal, 90,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to 2 winners, including French 1¼m winner Garencieres. Doncaster Group 1 entry and he made the perfect start in 1m Newcastle novice (3/1) 7 weeks ago, seeing things out really well. Bound to improve and can defy a penalty. Nicely on top in the finish at Newcastle and he holds an entry in the Group 1 Futurity. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
True Wisdom |
(4) (7/2 -27%)7/2(-27%) | (4) True Wisdom 7/2, Started out in a useful Class 2 Glorious Goodwood maiden (7f, soft) and left that form well behind as she made all in 1m Newmarket contest on better ground 44 days ago. Will find it harder to dominate against these colts. Made all at Newmarket and the second won a good-looking maiden there on Thursday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sayedaty Sadaty |
(2) (7/4 +65%)7/4(+65%) | (2) Sayedaty Sadaty 7/4, Looks fairly useful but also wayward, crashing out early at Windsor before opening his account in 1m Kempton event 32 days ago, hanging badly left when in control over 1f out. Remains to be seen what he'll make of this unique track but he has the form to take a hand. Group 1 entry. Again showed his quirks when winning at Kempton but he's clearly talented. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Victorious Street |
(3) (16/5 -83%)16/5(-83%) | (3) Victorious Street 16/5, €370,370 2-y-o, Street Sense colt. Half-brother to winner Pharaoh's Prophecy. 15/2, showed plenty of ability in messy race on debut at Haydock (1m) last month, looking green and also meeting trouble. Sure to progress. Group 1 entry. Futurity entrant who was knocked out contention when close up at Haydock. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Golden West did the job nicely at Newcastle on debut and has every chance of following up, but SAYEDATY SADATY's added experience may just give him the edge. Andrew Balding's colt made up for an unfortunate Windsor experience when an easy winner at Kempton (second has won since) and, unlike Golden West, he also boasts solid form on turf. Victorious Street and True Wisdom make up the ingredients for a small but spicy event.
GOLDEN WEST made the perfect start at Newcastle 7 weeks ago and looks sure to improve so he's taken to remain unbeaten. Victorious Street might be the danger ahead of the wayward-looking Sayedaty Sadaty and the filly True Wisdom.
An interesting race in which all four have claims. VICTORIOUS STREET ran to a fair level at Haydock despite a troubled run.

Forceful Speed |
(3) (2/1 +11%)2/1(+11%) | (3) Forceful Speed 2/1, Improving 3-y-o who has won his last 2 starts at Pontefract and Redcar. Has only had the 3 runs this year and big shout if seeing out this longer trip. On a hat-trick and could be a hard horse for the handicapper to nail. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Glenister |
(2) (3/1 +10%)3/1(+10%) | (2) Glenister 3/1, Typical improver for shrewd yard, making it 4 wins this term at Newcastle (12.5f). Good second at Wolverhampton since and may still have more to offer. Perhaps on a tough mark but still entitled to go well; has form on downhill tracks. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bug Boy |
(7) (8/1 -45%)8/1(-45%) | (7) Bug Boy 8/1, As good as ever when scoring over C&D in July and quickly resumed winning ways in good style at Brighton 52 days ago. Must be respected. C&D winner in July and went in again at Brighton latest; remains on a good mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ravens Ark |
(4) (9/1 +25%)9/1(+25%) | (4) Ravens Ark 9/1, On an appealing mark but arrives on the back of 2 poor runs. Needs to bounce back. Last year's 4th but now has to bounce back from two tailed-off efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Scintillante |
(6) (10/3 +33%)10/3(+33%) | (6) Scintillante 10/3, Opened his account at Chester in July and would probably have been second (finished fourth) had he not been checked in his run at Ascot (12f) next time. Saw his progress come to a halt at Newbury since. Faded disappointingly at Newbury last time but has the ability to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dundory |
(5) (14/1 -17%)14/1(-17%) | (5) Dundory 14/1, Latest win at Doncaster in April. Easy to excuse latest run and was second in this last year off 1 lb higher. Considered. Chance on his Goodwood second and Hamilton last week was a messy race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Whipmaster |
(1) (14/1 -56%)14/1(-56%) | (1) The Whipmaster 14/1, Improved last season, completing 4-timer in the first half of the year. Took advantage of a falling mark when resuming winning ways at Windsor in June and went close there penultimate start. Failed to settle here next time. Capable but inconsistent and not beaten a rival on last two visits to this track. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Everything points to a massive run from the hat-trick seeking FORCEFUL SPEED. He built on his gritty Pontefract success when scoring comfortably at Redcar and today's extra quarter-mile is unlikely to pose any problems. Another plus point is that the George Boughey-trained three-year-old has top apprentice Billy Loughnane doing the steering again. Glenister is having an excellent season and should go well once more, while C&D scorer Bug Boy also holds claims.
Progressive 3-y-o FORCEFUL SPEED is taken to complete the hat-trick up in trip. Glenister is another who has improved this season and rates the main threat ahead of the in-form Bug Boy.
Sir Mark Prescott's GLENISTER has got himself high in the weights but that's not to say he won't be competitive once more.

Austrian Theory |
(4) (4/1 +47%)4/1(+47%) | (4) Austrian Theory 4/1, Scored over 8.5f here in June and has given his running more often than not since, creditable fourth at Ayr 10 days ago. Likely to give a good account for all that he's vulnerable to better-treated rivals. Generally disappointing since course win on Oaks day but most recent run was encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Soto Sizzler |
(2) (6/1 +20%)6/1(+20%) | (2) Soto Sizzler 6/1, 12/1, turned in his best effort of the season when second of 4 in handicap at Goodwood on penultimate outing but failed to back it up at Southwell last time. Goes well at this track, so not a forlorn hope. Creditable third over C&D in April but has become very inconsistent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Percy Shelley |
(1) (8/1 +33%)8/1(+33%) | (1) Percy Shelley 8/1, Useful performer who was successful in 2022 in maiden at Longchamp, and minor events at same course and at Chantilly. Probably needed the run on debut for this stable at Southwell 18 days ago, so could be closer to form this time. Triple winner in France; made low-key British debut last month; might come on for the run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Burglar |
(6) (11/4 +45%)11/4(+45%) | (6) Burglar 11/4, Looked good prospect when winning at Lingfield on debut and wasn't hard pressed to land a 1¼m event at Redcar on handicap bow in May. Seemed more tractable with hood applied when second in 5-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 37 days ago and he's another who can't be discounted. Chased home exciting prospect at Newmarket in August; may still have a bigger run in him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bizarre Law |
(7) (14/1 -56%)14/1(-56%) | (7) Bizarre Law 14/1, Made an encouraging return to action after 7 months off when third at Kempton and back on track when third at Chester 106 days ago. Not seen since but cheekpieces offer hope of a bigger performance. In good form in the spring and returns from break on a workable mark; headgear switched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Naxos |
(5) (15/8 +25%)15/8(+25%) | (5) Naxos 15/8, Low-mileage sort who scored at Newcastle in April and enhanced a solid AW record when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time. Proven on turf turf and still going the right way, so could go one better. Progressive 3yo who looked suited by step up to 9.4f on AW last month; respected. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
This tricky track tends to bring the best out in SOTO SIZZLER (three-time course winner) and despite a below-par effort at Southwell last time, he'd be hard to resist at decent odds off a mark 6lb lower than his last victory. Burglar still appears to have more to offer judged on last month's second behind the unbeaten Measured Time at Newmarket. He is another to consider in an open race along with Naxos, who still looked to be improving at Wolverhampton.
NAXOS is on the up and might get his own way in front, so he's preferred to Terwada (engaged Newmarket Saturday) who shaped nicely in a competitive event at York last time. Burglar is another one with potential and a case can be made for all of the remainder.
This can go to NAXOS, who ran a big race when upped to a middle-distance trip on Tapeta last time and is probably still on the upgrade.

Strong Impact |
(6) (1/5 +20%)1/5(+20%) | (6) Strong Impact 1/5, Much improved while still showing signs of greenness back from 3 months off when second again on handicap debut at Sandown over this trip recently. She can surely win a race and disappointing if it isn't this one. Very consistent this term, producing form figures of 222; sets a solid standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Soigneux Bell |
(1) (6/1 -71%)6/1(-71%) | (1) Soigneux Bell 6/1, 13/1, won 8-runner 11.4f maiden at Angers for Ludovic Gadbin in May. Should improve for new yard and the clear danger to Strong Impact. French win came over much further but makes British debut in a weak race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Letsbefrank |
(3) (13/2 +54%)13/2(+54%) | (3) Letsbefrank 13/2, Frankel gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including high-class 1m-1½m winner Fascinating Rock for owners. Belated debut but a fascinating newcomer for yard that had a winner first time out earlier this week. Frankel half-brother to Group 1 winner Fascinating Rock; interesting newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A Touch Of Silver |
(4) (40/1 +60%)40/1(+60%) | (4) A Touch Of Silver 40/1, Showed ability at huge odds on debut at Windsor over this trip in June, virtually detached but good headway out wide 2f out. Likely to improve, probably more so when upped in distance. Comfortably held at Windsor in June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Instinct |
(5) (80/1 +47%)80/1(+47%) | (5) Instinct 80/1, Just modest form and held in a couple of 6f Newcastle events at the end of last year. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this first start for local new yard but hard to fancy upped markedly in trip. Modest RPRs in 6f AW events last year for Lawrence Mullaney. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Martin Spirit |
(2) (80/1 -21%)80/1(-21%) | (2) Martin Spirit 80/1, Fair form in 2 races on Flat in France in 2020. Modest maiden handicap hurdler nowadays and plenty on his plate here. Inconsistent over hurdles for current yard; not seen on Flat since 2020. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It's hard to know what Soigneux Bell achieved in winning his sole start on soft ground in France, but Gary Moore's new recruit faces a tough task conceding 12lb to STRONG IMPACT. Roger Varian's filly has done little wrong in finishing runner-up in her last three starts over this sort of trip and won't get many better opportunities. Of the remainder, it will be interesting to see what the market makes of John Butler's newcomer Letsbefrank - an already gelded son of Frankel.
STRONG IMPACT ran a cracker back from 3 months off in a Sandown handicap recently and it will be disappointing if she can't get the job done here. French-winner Soigneux Bell looks the danger starting out for Gary Moore, although the well-bred Letsbefrank is an intriguing newcomer.
Consistent filly STRONG IMPACT is taken to get off the mark. Interesting newcomer Letsbefrank is second choice.

Freedom Day |
(3) (4/1 +71%)4/1(+71%) | (3) Freedom Day 4/1, Improved when making successful return in 1m Redcar novice on third and final start for the Gosdens during the spring. Not disgraced in a better race than he need contest when ninth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to soft) 15 days ago but mark still looks on stiff side. Not totally solid judged on form for new stable but this is easier than last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Shot Of Love |
(8) (5/1 +0%)5/1(+0%) | (8) Shot Of Love 5/1, Supplemented June's Wetherby success by making all over C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago by ½ length from Overnight Oats, settling better than often the case. Likely to go well again from 3 lb higher mark. Made all to beat Overnight Oats over C&D last month; doesn't need to lead; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Overnight Oats |
(6) (5/1 -43%)5/1(-43%) | (6) Overnight Oats 5/1, Off the mark at Carlisle (6.9f) in July and displayed a brilliant attitude when following up at Sandown (7f) later that month. Another good effort when ½-length second of 6 to Shot of Love in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago. Expected to be bang there.. Largely in good form since wearing a hood, most recently second to Shot Of Love here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ottoman Prince |
(1) (5/1 +44%)5/1(+44%) | (1) Ottoman Prince 5/1, Sprung an 80/1 surprise on debut at Chelmsford (7f) last autumn before earning second career win on return at Wolverhampton in May. Still early days with him but he didn't appear to take to the track when mid-field at Goodwood last time, which augurs concern for him on this idiosyncratic course. Two underwhelming efforts on turf; first-time headgear needs to make a difference. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fly Zone |
(5) (8/1 -167%)8/1(-167%) | (5) Fly Zone 8/1, Placed all 4 starts in maiden/novice company this season, albeit not improving with experience and looking a touch laboured when second of 8 in minor event (11/4) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 22 days ago. Opening mark does look workable, though, and blinkers may sharpen him up. In danger of becoming a disappointing sort but addition of blinkers may do the trick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chealamy |
(4) (8/1 +11%)8/1(+11%) | (4) Chealamy 8/1, Off the mark at Newbury (8f) in June and made the frame off higher marks on next 2 starts. Has to shrug off a below-par effort at Windsor last time but isn't completely discounted with cheekpieces applied. Has the ability to go well off this mark, provided she takes to first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hi Clare |
(7) (9/2 +0%)9/2(+0%) | (7) Hi Clare 9/2, Has held her form well on balance since scoring at Pontefract (1m) in June, as good as ever under a change of tactics when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good, 11/1) 34 days ago. Sound place claims again. Close second over C&D last time; goes back up in grade but is hard to dismiss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Oj Lifestyle |
(2) (16/1 +20%)16/1(+20%) | (2) Oj Lifestyle 16/1, Newbury maiden winner on second start last summer but hasn't fired in 3 starts handicapping this season and has something to find with tongue strap applied. Lacks solidity; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time tongue-tie. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Shot Of Love took well to this track when making all over C&D recently, but OVERNIGHT OATS was beginning to bear down on him close to the line and may be able to reverse the form on 2lb better terms if delivered a bit earlier. Hi Clare also ran well when runner-up over track and trip and should remain competitive along with Fly Zone, who may improve for the introduction of blinkers after hanging under pressure when second at Wolverhampton.
OVERNIGHT OATS finished just behind Shot of Love over C&D last month but the Muir & Grassick gelding is slightly better off at the weights this time and is narrowly fancied to turn the tables. Shot of Love made full use of an uncontested lead on that occasion but is clearly in top form and should prove a stern rival for the selection once more, whilst Hi Clare also ran well over C&D last time and merits respect.
Somewhat tentatively, one more chance is given to FLY ZONE. Second choice is Hi Clare.

Farasi Lane |
(1) (4/1 +38%)4/1(+38%) | (1) Farasi Lane 4/1, Latest win at Ascot in July and arrives on the back of a couple of creditable efforts in second, running on well at Wolverhampton on latest. Should make his presence felt again. Two 7f wins this year; runner-up at around 1m the last twice; should remain competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Man Of Eden |
(5) (5/2 +25%)5/2(+25%) | (5) Man Of Eden 5/2, AW maiden winner on yard debut in January. Has drawn a blank in handicaps since but there have been several good efforts and he wasn't seen to best effect at Ascot last time. Worth considering. Not added to his AW maiden win in January but he's regularly run well at 7f-1m; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Secret Strength |
(8) (7/1 +7%)7/1(+7%) | (8) Secret Strength 7/1, Scored at Newbury in June and back on track when a staying-on second to Marley Park over C&D last time. Up 2 lb for that and not the most reliable, so unlikely to reverse form. Not easy to win with but ran well behind Marlay Park here last time when hampered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Marlay Park |
(3) (10/3 -11%)10/3(-11%) | (3) Marlay Park 10/3, Likeable type who added to a terrific C&D record when beating Secret Strength 17 days ago. Another big effort seems assured if the pace is solid. Four-time C&D winner including this race last year; needs a career best off current mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bresson |
(2) (11/2 +27%)11/2(+27%) | (2) Bresson 11/2, Useful juvenile at up to 7f. Shaped as if retaining all his ability when 4 lengths fifth of 13 in 7f Goodwood handicap on reappearance. Has produced a couple of tame efforts subsequently, though. Not at his best over 6f the last twice; down in class and back to 7f so not a lost cause. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Maxi Boy |
(4) (16/1 -33%)16/1(-33%) | (4) Maxi Boy 16/1, Hasn't won for a while and latest effort at Kempton was rather uninspiring. Mark is a handy one but others make more appeal. 0-20 since his debut win; solid run on penultimate start but less good latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bowman |
(7) (16/1 -220%)16/1(-220%) | (7) Bowman 16/1, Ended last season out of form and was down the field over C&D on return. Could strip fitter for that and his mark has become very appealing. Front-runner; C&D winner; well beaten last three starts and too much to prove for comfort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Little Boy Blue |
(6) (18/1 +10%)18/1(+10%) | (6) Little Boy Blue 18/1, Showed a good attitude to edge out an in-form rival at Chepstow in June and posted several solid efforts subsequently. Found run of form coming to an end at Chester last time but no surprise if he's back on his game. Below par latest but this year's best gives him claims & he's got a solid record at Epsom. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Last year's winner Marlay Park took full advantage of a sliding mark when notching a fourth C&D success but a 4lb rise may leave him vulnerable in a rematch with stablemate SECRET STRENGTH (raised 2lb), who almost reeled him having being denied a clear run at a crucial stage. Farasi Lane and Man Of Eden are others who could be judged unlucky losers recently, although a sharp 7f is possibly not ideal for either.
MAN OF EDEN has shaped as if ahead of his mark on more than one occasion and, having had excuses at Ascot last time, he's worth a chance to belatedly put it all together. Course-specialist Marlay Park is an obvious threat and Farasi Lane should go well again.
Several possibles but FARASI LANE is enjoying a good season and is marginally preferred to Man Of Eden.

This is the 16:15 Kempton race from the video above backed at 28/1 earlier in the day.
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.
