1st (7) (0.91/1 -107%) Trooper Bisdee |
0.91/1(-107%) | (7) Trooper Bisdee 0.91/1, Three wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good to firm, 11/8) 8 days ago. Carries penalty and boast outstanding claims given he was value for plenty of extra. 3-5 in handicaps and he's open to more progress but slow ground would be a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (14/1 +0%) Black Kalanisi |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Black Kalanisi 14/1, 22/1, first run since leaving Fergal O'Brien when fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (14f, heavy) 17 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on for first time in this code. Retrurned from long absence with a tailed-off effort on his stable debut here 17 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (20/1 +39%) Grandmaster Flash |
20/1(+39%) | (4) Grandmaster Flash 20/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, first run since leaving Gary Moore when sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (14f, heavy) 17 days ago. Drying ground in his favour. Triple AW winner but he's 0-14 on turf and was tailed off here on his recent stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (8.5/1 +66%) Champagne City |
8.5/1(+66%) | (2) Champagne City 8.5/1, Unreliable type. Latest win at Pontefract in April. Last of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good, 16/1) 16 days ago, looking none too keen having been taken on for the lead. Defied this mark at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) in April but he's been out of sorts since then. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (3/1 +10%) Nobody Told Me |
3/1(+10%) | (5) Nobody Told Me 3/1, Winner at Doncaster in April. Seventh of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Haydock (16.2f, heavy) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and he's a big player if he stays. No impact at Haydock but that was in a Class 4 and he looks worth another try at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (9/1 +44%) Monsieur Lambrays |
9/1(+44%) | (1) Monsieur Lambrays 9/1, Temperamental sort. Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. Below form fourth of 8 in handicap (16/1) at this course (14f, heavy) 17 days ago. This is a drop in class but he's not an appealing betting proposition. Went very close on his stable debut at Ascot but he's struggled in both runs since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 -106%) Loved Out |
33/1(-106%) | (6) Loved Out 33/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft, 16/1) 36 days ago. Has a lot to prove back on the level. Pulled up over jumps last twice and has plenty to prove back in this sphere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A master at picking off races with progressive staying handicappers, Sir Mark Prescott looks to have another in that mould with TROOPER BISDEE, who has won three from five this season and scored comfortably at Beverley last week. A solid third at Hamilton on his penultimate start, Nobody Told Me looks to be his main danger, while the well-handicapped Monsieur Lambrays is in need of a revival.
It's very hard to escape the claims of TROOPER BISDEE, who could easily rack up a sequence given the yard he represents having opened his account with plenty to spare at Beverley last week. Nobody Told Me's stamina for 2m isn't set in stone but he's still offered as the main threat.
The one that stands out is the progressive 3yo TROOPER BISDEE, who made it 3-5 in handicaps when making all at Beverley last week.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (3.5/1 +22%) Going The Distance |
3.5/1(+22%) | (3) Going The Distance 3.5/1, Foaled March 6. €160,000 yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Found the penny dropping late when third of 10 in a C&D maiden 17 days ago, running green but keeping on well last ½f. Entitled to have derived plenty from that and one to consider. Promising third over C&D on recent debut and he's respected for yard that won this in 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (22/1 +12%) Speeding Bullet |
22/1(+12%) | (7) Speeding Bullet 22/1, Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 12/1) on debut 43 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Up in trip. Made a low-key start at Doncaster and he needs a transformation on this step up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (5/1 +38%) Savvy Warrior |
5/1(+38%) | (6) Savvy Warrior 5/1, Foaled March 21. €180,000 yearling, Too Darn Hot colt. 22/1, fourth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 16 days ago, running green 2f out. Should improve. Showed promise at Kempton two weeks ago and he's open to progress on his second start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (14/1 -40%) Hand Of God |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Hand Of God 14/1, Foaled March 3. 145,000 gns yearling, Churchill colt. Closely related to useful 1m-11f winner Bermondsey and half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 10.5f Haggle. Interesting newcomer and the market should guide. Well-bred colt who needs checking in the market on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (3.5/1 -40%) I Love Paris |
3.5/1(-40%) | (10) I Love Paris 3.5/1, Promising sort. 9/1, third of 6 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut 20 days ago, in need of the experience but doing her best work late on. Sure to progress and she's one to consider. Went close at Newmarket on her debut and just about sets the standard on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (66/1 -230%) Yellow Pages |
66/1(-230%) | (8) Yellow Pages 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 28/1) on debut 14 days ago. Missed the break and was never involved when ninth of 11 at Newmarket on recent debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (6/1 +14%) Break The Bank |
6/1(+14%) | (1) Break The Bank 6/1, 350,000 gns yearling, Invincible Spirit colt. 18/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago, running green and never involved. In good hands and he rates a likely improver. Shaped with promise at Newmarket and he should know more this time; likely improver. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Go Daddy |
2.75/1(+21%) | (2) Go Daddy 2.75/1, Promising individual. 50/1, third of 10 in minor event at Sandown (7f, heavy) on debut 23 days ago, staying on well. Likely improver with that under his belt and fancied to feature. Ran into some trouble when a promising third at Sandown (7f, heavy) on debut; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (150/1 -127%) Bree Anna Poppy |
150/1(-127%) | (9) Bree Anna Poppy 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 7 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good) on debut 15 days ago. Up in trip. 50-1 at Salisbury (6f) on her debut two weeks ago and she finished a remote last of seven. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The strongest piece of form on offer may well be GO DADDY's debut at Sandown, where he ran on well late to grab third behind a colt who has performed in Listed company since. The son of Smooth Daddy can see off the likes of Kempton third Mai Dubai and Going The Distance, who shaped with promise when third on debut over C&D. Break The Bank and I Love Paris can also have a say in proceedings.
I LOVE PARIS produced a promising first effort and was noted doing very good late work when third in a Newmarket novice (7f) on debut 3 weeks ago. Sure to have derived plenty from that initial experience, she gets the nod to come out on top at the second attempt. Go Daddy similarly shaped well without being seen to best effect when filling the same spot on his respective debut at Sandown and is feared most. Going The Distance is also considered.
Plenty of these have shown clear promise but the vote goes to I LOVE PARIS, who went close at Newmarket on her recent debut.

1st (1) (0.8/1 -40%) Between Me And U |
0.8/1(-40%) | (1) Between Me And U 0.8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 6 in nursery (5/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Well treated and a big player. Went very close on his nursery debut (8.6f, AW) last week; strong claims off same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5.5/1 +21%) Primetime |
5.5/1(+21%) | (2) Primetime 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in nursery at Newcastle (7.1f, 14/1) 10 days ago so needs to bounce back. Down the field in all four starts and he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3.33/1 +39%) Unleash Hell |
3.33/1(+39%) | (5) Unleash Hell 3.33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good) 15 days ago, merely closing up late. Can do better now going into handicaps with his stamina drawn out more. Considered. Some promise at Brighton and he's open to more progress now upped to 1m on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/1 -57%) Storm Alice |
11/1(-57%) | (4) Storm Alice 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut but others look better treated at these weights. Opening mark looks on the high side and not sure this new trip will suit; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 -27%) Octet |
14/1(-27%) | (3) Octet 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden (200/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) 27 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Makes handicap debut with lots to find. Struggled in maiden/novice events and he needs plenty of progress on his nursery debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Narrowly denied at Wolverhampton last time out over slightly further, it is difficult to look past BETWEEN ME AND U as he looks to deservedly get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. The mile trip could prove ideal and he should have too much for Unleash Hell and Primetime, who is another that has the potential to improve for the rise in distance.
This looks an excellent opportunity for BETWEEN ME AND U to open his account given he can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent second at Wolverhampton. Unleash Hell appeals as the one to chase home Ivan Furtado's well-treated gelding now he steps into handicaps with the prospect of better to come ahead of Primetime.
This can go to BETWEEN ME AND U, who went very close on his nursery debut last week and is well treated off the same mark here.

1st (6) (0.8/1 +51%) Esmeray |
0.8/1(+51%) | (6) Esmeray 0.8/1, Promising Sea The Moon filly who has been placed on both her starts, second of 7 in minor event at Bath (10.2f, good, 7/2) 21 days ago. Can improve further. Big shout. Finished well to go close at Bath last time and she's open to more progress; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4/1 +43%) It's Marvellous |
4/1(+43%) | (5) It's Marvellous 4/1, Fair filly. Creditable sixth of 13 in minor event (14/1) at Newbury (10f, good) 34 days ago. One for the shortlist. Has been generally progressive in her four runs but she needs to find more improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/1 -170%) Quietness |
9/1(-170%) | (7) Quietness 9/1, 16/1, encouraging second of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) on her debut 87 days ago. This Bated Breath filly can build on it. In the picture. Clear second at Lingfield on her debut in May and she's in the mix on her return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 -113%) Golden Delite |
4/1(-113%) | (2) Golden Delite 4/1, Golden Horn colt who shaped with promise when second of 9 in minor event (28/1) at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 63 days ago on his final run for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Should progress further for his new handler. Player. Went close at Newmarket before changing hands for 130,000gns; big player for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (28/1 -27%) Night Breeze |
28/1(-27%) | (4) Night Breeze 28/1, £33,000 3-y-o, New Approach gelding. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 2m (stayed 2½m) Cross Counter. Appeals on paper but the market can prove an accurate indicator for this newcomer. £33,000 3yo; this looks a tough enough starting point and is best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (100/1 -150%) Zoffalay |
100/1(-150%) | (1) Zoffalay 100/1, Tenth of 13 in bumper at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good, 25/1) 25 days ago, never travelling well. Lots more needed on his belated Flat debut. Tailed off in two bumpers and can only be watched on this switch to the Flat. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ESMERAY may have gone better last time had she been more alert at the start, and she is fancied to get off the mark on this occasion. Ralph Beckett's charge was only beaten a neck that day over 1m2f at Bath and she'll be difficult to beat if taking a step forward. Golden Delite should also be in the mix after a very promising second over 1m2f at Newmarket, while Quietness can also hit the frame.
A few of these have better days ahead of them but Ralph Beckett's progressive Sea The Moon filly ESMERAY holds the edge on form so is taken to emerge on top from Mick Appleby's promising new recruit Golden Delite. Quietness is open to progress too and can have a say in an intriguing maiden.
This is a tight call between Esmeray and GOLDEN DELITE but the vote goes to Mick Appleby's new recruit.

1st (1) (0.91/1 -60%) Port Erin |
0.91/1(-60%) | (1) Port Erin 0.91/1, Promising sort. 9/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 10 days ago, comfortably. Obvious claims under a penalty. Put in a dominant display on handicap debut at Newcastle; big player again under a penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2.75/1 +83%) Sprezzatura |
2.75/1(+83%) | (2) Sprezzatura 2.75/1, 33/1, last of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 18 days ago. Back down in trip on debut for new yard and he looks up against it. 14-race maiden and he needs to raise his game back in trip for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (20/1 -67%) Show Of Hands |
20/1(-67%) | (5) Show Of Hands 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (6f, soft, 10/1) 30 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip and she's hard to make a case for. Poor form in all four runs including a handicap; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (3/1 -50%) Coral Reef |
3/1(-50%) | (3) Coral Reef 3/1, Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft, 9/4) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Should give another good account. Creditable front-running second at Chepstow (7f) and he's 1lb lower here; respected. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
This appears to revolve around the performance of PORT ERIN, who is fancied to follow up his win over 1m at Newcastle. Simon and Ed Crisford's charge didn't see another rival when scoring in easy fashion by two and a quarter lengths on that occasion and he appears primed to defy a 6lb penalty. Coral Reef rates as the biggest danger dropped 1lb after her second over 7f at Chepstow. Show Of Hands can chase the pair home ahead of Sprezzatura.
PORT ERIN duly left his previous efforts well behind when making a winning handicap debut in good style at Newcastle last week and will prove hard to beat under a penalty. Coral Reef is the clear main danger.
Top of the list is PORT ERIN who made all on his handicap debut at Newcastle last week and is open to more progress on this drop to 7f.

1st (5) (7.5/1 +53%) Roost |
7.5/1(+53%) | (5) Roost 7.5/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Sandown (14f, heavy) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Chance on best form and might strip fitter for latest outing. Has had excuses at 1m6f last twice and he could be dangerous back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (0.91/1 -14%) Blindedbythelights |
0.91/1(-14%) | (7) Blindedbythelights 0.91/1, Progressive sort who had something to spare when doubling his tally for the year in 5-runner handicap at Newbury 71 days ago. Remains open to improvement and looks the obvious selection. 2-3 in handicaps and he beat a clear second at Newbury last time; big player again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (3.5/1 +13%) Surrey Belle |
3.5/1(+13%) | (8) Surrey Belle 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Sandown (10f, soft) 29 days ago. Should be on the premises if she gets the longer trip. Close up in both her handicaps and she could find more at this new trip; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (50/1 -52%) Byzantine Empire |
50/1(-52%) | (2) Byzantine Empire 50/1, 25/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing. Others make more appeal. Multiple jumps winner but he's 0-7 on the Flat and has plenty to prove back in this sphere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (16/1 +36%) Lady Excalibur |
16/1(+36%) | (3) Lady Excalibur 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 8/1, last of 10 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm) 50 days ago. More required. Promise over C&D last summer but was last on her handicap debut at Haydock last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (11/1 -38%) Supposedtobe |
11/1(-38%) | (1) Supposedtobe 11/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good, 17/2) 25 days ago. Successful on latest Flat outing (at Pontefract in July), so not a forlorn hope. Won over 1m2f last month but he's hard to predict and was well held over hurdles latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (8/1 -45%) Havanazam |
8/1(-45%) | (6) Havanazam 8/1, Off the mark at the third attempt in 7-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f), driven out. Off 10 months. More to come now handicapping/upped in trip but assessor has taken no chances with opening mark. 9.4f AW win in his final 2yo run; still unexposed and looks interesting on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Havanazam was a good winner last time out over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton, but he may find life much tougher in handicap company, so the nod goes to BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS. Sir Mark Prescott's charge has gone up 13lb in the ratings this season and his latest 7lb rise for a one-and-three-quarter-length success over 1m4f at Newbury doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Surrey Belle is also noted.
BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS looked comfortably ahead of the handicapper when scoring at Newbury when last seen in June and, with the scope for more improvement, he's an obvious choice. Surrey Belle is a danger if her stamina lasts out and Supposedtobe deserves some respect.
The vote goes to BLINDEDBYTHELIGHTS (nap), who has form figures of 121 in handicaps and is open to more progress.

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.
