(4)  (9/1 +10%)Balmacara |
9/1(+10%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Balmacara 9/1, Has quickly made up into a useful colt, bagging a pair of 7f novices at Doncaster this spring in good style. Capable of better now switching to a handicap. Made all in two Doncaster novices but is drawn wide and drying ground is an unknown. |
|||
(6)  (12/1 +14%)Mission To Moon |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mission To Moon 12/1, Both wins over C&D on soft, latterly on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Did that quite readily and respected up 4 lb. 2-2 over C&D; drying ground and 4lb rise are not major issues but wide draw probably is. |
|||
(9)  (13/2 +64%)The Camden Colt |
13/2(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Camden Colt 13/2, Has returned with good placed efforts in competitive 1m handicaps at Newmarket this spring. This strong traveller shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop back to 7f. Well drawn and respected for a yard no stranger to success in this. Has been edging up the weights for not winning and return to 7f is not sure to be a plus. |
|||
1st (11)  (8/1 -60%)Qirat |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Qirat 8/1, Showcasing colt who confirmed debut promise when off the mark in a Kempton novice (7f) in August. Progressed again when second under a penalty at Salisbury (7f, heavy) in October. Appeals as very much the type to improve again at 3 and this sort of mark shouldn't be beyond him. Promising last year; gelded since last seen and still open to improvement; watch market. |
|||
2nd (7)  (4/1 +43%)Al Shabab Storm |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Al Shabab Storm 4/1, Won a 6f course novice on soft last autumn. Faded into sixth in Newbury handicap on reappearance but back on the up when narrowly denied in 6f Chester handicap 17 days ago, finishing well. Raised 4 lb for that but it shouldn't leave him handicapped out of things. Beaten a neck at Chester last time; better drawn here and return to 7f is not an issue. |
|||
3rd (8)  (9/1 +0%)Blue Prince |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Blue Prince 9/1, Course winner who enjoyed a productive spell on the AW for this yard over the winter. Bounced back from a couple of lesser effort on the grass this spring when third of 15 at York in a first-time hood (retained) last week. Should remain competitive from an unchanged mark. Ran well when third at York ten days ago but has already had 17 starts so looks vulnerable. |
|||
4th (14)  (12/1 +14%)Brunel Nation |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Brunel Nation 12/1, Much improved when winning handicaps at Chelmsford (6f) and Newmarket (7f, good) in recent months. Second past the post at latter but awarded the race after suffering interference. Up another 5 lb but there could be more to come. On the shortlist. Bids for a hat-trick; combination of 5lb rise and high draw makes this much more demanding. |
|||
5th (15)  (20/1 -122%)Monfrid |
20/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Monfrid 20/1, Runner-up twice on AW last autumn and had more in hand a ½ length winning margin suggests in 7f Catterick novice on reappearance. Hard to argue an opening mark of 82 is generous but he almost certainly has more to offer for his leading stable. Will need to improve again from his successful Catterick return but that is quite possible. |
|||
6th (16)  (25/1 -14%)Validated |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Validated 25/1, Lost his way at the end of his 2-y-o campaign for Sir Mark Prescott but well and truly revitalised by his new stable with a ready 4¼-length win in 7f Brighton maiden on reappearance. More needed again now handicapping, though. Made a successful stable debut last time but this will be tougher back in a handicap. |
|||
7th (2)  (22/1 -57%)Starlore |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Starlore 22/1, Bred to be smart and won on debut over 7f at Sandown last July. Arguably hasn't quite kicked on as might have been expected in his 3 outings since but he ran well in a useful Newmarket conditions races on reappearance and there's still a sense of untapped potential with him. Draw could be tricky. Highly tried after his winning debut last summer and held on reappearance; drawn widest. |
|||
8th (17)  (25/1 +38%)So Quiet |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) So Quiet 25/1, Confirmed debut promise to get off the mark in the style of a useful prospect in 7f Kempton novice in March. Well beaten switched to soft turf at Doncaster last month but he retains potential on his AW efforts. The stable bagged a big 3-y-o handicap last weekend. 16l behind Balmacara on his turf debut at Doncaster last month; enough to prove. |
|||
9th (5)  (25/1 +24%)Gushing Gold |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gushing Gold 25/1, Marked step forward when winning 20-runner York nursery (7f) last August. Backed that up when second in 7f Doncaster listed race next time but she was down the field in the Nell Gwyn on reappearance. Likely vulnerable to less exposed types. Highly tried in recent starts; well drawn but looks vulnerable to an improver. |
|||
10th (3)  (11/1 +8%)Dragon Leader |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dragon Leader 11/1, Went 4-5 at 2, notably valuable 6f events at York and Redcar. Made a creditable return to action when third of 5 on 7f Ascot handicap debut 15 days ago. Useful 2yo (4-5) but more from him would have been preferred on his recent reappearance. |
|||
11th (12)  (9/1 +36%)Newsreader |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Newsreader 9/1, Progressive in 7f AW novices at Kempton over the winter, winning twice. Quite a useful effort to defy a penalty latterly and there's likely more to come now handicapping. Turf debut. Dual Kempton AW winner this year but should act on turf; shortlisted. |
|||
12th (10)  (16/1 +0%)Kingdom Of Riches |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kingdom Of Riches 16/1, Landed a 7f novice at Leicester last summer. Good 2 lengths third of 5 to the reopposing Mission To Moon on C&D reappearance (soft) 3 weeks ago. Not obviously progressive enough to win a race like this, though. 2l behind Mission To Moon over C&D on his return; 4lb better off and could step up. |
|||
13th (13)  (9/1 +64%)Robbo |
9/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Robbo 9/1, Fairly useful form. Runner-up twice at 2 and got his head in front when making all in 7f Chelmsford novice on reappearance last month. Much tougher ask trying to dominate this field on handicap debut. This will be tougher than when winning at Chelmsford but he has a nice draw; could go well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
MISSION TO MOON, who won a valuable nursery over this course and distance last summer, won here on his seasonal debut three weeks ago and his proven effectiveness at this venue just earns him the vote in a competitive renewal. Last year's Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy winner Dragon Leader is another must for consideration, as is Al Shabab Storm and progressive handicap debutant Balmacara. Others with place claims include Qirat, Monfrid and Newsreader.
An ultra-competitive 3-y-o handicap. QIRAT was clear of the rest when second under a penalty at Salisbury last autumn and an opening mark of 88 looks workable, particularly as there's almost certainly more to come from him this year. The Camden Colt, Brunel Nation and Newsreader are others for the shortlist. Balmacara could also have a big say.
The vote goes to AL SHABAB STORM who did well to go so close at Chester last time. He is much better drawn here.

(6)  (16/1 +20%)Lava Stream |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lava Stream 16/1, Lightly raced filly who took another step forward when making a successful return in 4-runner event at Doncaster last time. Should get the longer trip but this is a much tougher assignment. On a hat-trick but latest win came in a handicap off a mark of 74; this is much harder. |
|||
1st (4)  (6/4 +55%)Francophone |
6/4(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Francophone 6/4, Ayr novice winner last year who produced a very useful effort when making a successful start to her 3-y-o campaign in 1m Southwell. Backed it up with an excellent second in the Musidora and strikes as a big player. Beat a subsequent winner on her Southwell return; second in the Musidora and major chance. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/4 +44%)Regal Jubilee |
9/4(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Regal Jubilee 9/4, C&D listed winner (heavy) on her final 2-y-o start and bettered that form when neck second to Folgaria (Elmalka close up in third) in Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) on reappearance. The Guineas was too much to ask last time but this is a much more realistic assignment. Well held in 1,000 Guineas but in good form before that and this longer trip should suit. |
|||
3rd (10)  (11/1 -10%)Where I Wanna Be |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Where I Wanna Be 11/1, Camelot filly bred much more for stamina than speed and confirmed debut promise when landing 7-runner maiden at Nottingham 8 months ago. Type to make a better 3yo and longer trip should help, so not discounted for all that she has a chunk of improvement to find. Narrowly off the mark on her second start; off eight months since but has more to offer. |
|||
4th (2)  (14/1 +36%)Ambiente Amigo |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ambiente Amigo 14/1, Won maiden/novice events on turf and AW at Lingfield at the end of last summer but well held in Fillies' Mile at Newmarket on final 2-y-o start (left Michael Bell after) and fared no better in 1¼m handicap there on reappearance for James Owen. Outsider. Well beaten on stable debut last month; hard to fancy. |
|||
5th (8)  (16/1 -146%)Molten Rock |
16/1(-146%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Molten Rock 16/1, Did the job well when making a winning debut at Redcar (1m, heavy) in October before sound third in a Newmarket listed contest. Yet to fire this season but return to this trip should help and there's likely a bigger effort in her. Third behind Regal Jubilee last November but held twice since; needs to resume progress. |
|||
6th (9)  (20/1 -11%)Queen Of Atlantis |
20/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Queen Of Atlantis 20/1, Completed an AW hat-trick during the winter, narrowly prevailing when upped to this trip at Lingfield on latest start in January. Creditable fourth in a Sandown handicap last month but has plenty to find in this company. Hat-trick on the AW and fair fourth back on turf, but plenty more is required from her. |
|||
7th (7)  (14/1 -56%)Local Arms |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Local Arms 14/1, Much better for debut when wide-margin winner of Beverley (heavy, 7.4f) novice in September. Not in same form at Goodwood following week and off since. Will stay. Beverley soft-ground winner last September; this looks a tough task on return. |
|||
8th (5)  (10/1 +17%)Kitteridge |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kitteridge 10/1, Confirmed debut promise in the manner of a useful prospect when landing Newcastle fillies' maiden over this trip in February. Only third upped to listed level at Newmarket since but remains with the potential for better. Won a Newcastle AW maiden but beaten a long way into third in the Pretty Polly; needs more. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
York's Group 3 Musidora Stakes may not have gone the way of the market leaders but runner-up FRANCOPHONE certainly performed well. You can usually rely on the form of that race and this daughter of Study Of Man, who holds valuable previous course experience, is taken to come out on top. Regal Jubilee failed to land a telling blow in the 1000 Guineas but must be of interest dropping in class for this first try beyond a mile. Kitteridge and Molten Rock also hold solid claims.
REGAL JUBILEE was a bit out of her depth in the 1000 Guineas last time but this looks a much more straightforward task and she remains open to improvement, so gets the nod over Francophone, who ran well in the Musidora at York on her latest outing. Beeley is also considered.
A couple of these have shown better form than the rest, with FRANCOPHONE (nap) the choice after her second in the Musidora ten days ago.

1st (6)  (9/2 +10%)Jakarta |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jakarta 9/2, Night of Thunder filly. Closely related to 1¼m winner African and half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Highland Chief. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner. Came in for support but was badly in need of the experience when seventh of 10 in a warm novice at Newmarket (5f). Will improve. Seventh on Newmarket debut after a tardy start; extra furlong should suit on breeding. |
|||
2nd (12)  (13/2 -8%)Royal Equerry |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Royal Equerry 13/2, Kingman filly. Half-sister to 1m-2m winner Call To Mind and Acomb Stakes winner Recorder. Dam 2-y-o 6f (including Albany and Cherry Hinton Stakes) winner. 9/2, green when fourth of 7 in novice at Salisbury (5f, heavy) on debut 20 days ago. Runner-up has since boosted the form and she's a player. Stiff task when fourth in a conditions event on debut; form boosted and 6f should suit. |
|||
3rd (7)  (6/1 +0%)Jewel Of London |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jewel Of London 6/1, Foaled March 6. 150,000 gns foal, 250,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega filly. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 5f winner). Yard has excellent record in this. Appeals on breeding and stable has its share of 2yo winners first time out; watch market. |
|||
4th (5)  (80/1 -100%)Havana Dance |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Havana Dance 80/1, Foaled February 28. Havana Grey filly. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Would be a rare winning 2yo newcomer for the yard. |
|||
5th (4)  (50/1 -317%)Ghost Run |
50/1(-317%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ghost Run 50/1, Foaled April 17. £85,000 yearling, Kameko filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart 5f winner Nymphadora and 5f winner Laith Alareen. Dam, maiden (raced only at 6f), half-sister to very smart winner up to 7f Hooray. Stable has winning 2yo newcomers and her breeding makes her worth a market check. |
|||
6th (1)  (66/1 -100%)Alerta Maxima |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alerta Maxima 66/1, Foaled February 5. Circus Maximus filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 9.5f winner Limerick Bound and 11f winner A La Francaise. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Stable not a noted source of 2yo winners first time out; may appreciate further. |
|||
7th (2)  (66/1 -313%)Celandine |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Celandine 66/1, Foaled March 13. Kingman filly. Half-sister to useful 1m winner Lil' Frank. Dam, 6f-7f winner, half-sister to winner up to 1m Redolent and 11f/11.3f winner Khothry (both useful). Something to like on breeding, but stable has few 2yos go in first time. |
|||
8th (11)  (66/1 -230%)Raveena |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Raveena 66/1, Foaled April 2. Too Darn Hot filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Tiber Flow and useful 9f winner Godwinson. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) who stayed 10.5f, half-sister to high-class 1¼m/11f winner Poet's Word. Well bred, but stable's record with 2yos first time suggests she may be better for the run. |
|||
9th (3)  (66/1 -633%)Countess Ciara |
66/1(-633%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Countess Ciara 66/1, Foaled March 24. 70,000 gns foal, 150,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey filly. Dam, 7f winner, closely related to very smart 6f/7f winner Rewarding Hero out of useful 2-y-o 5f winner (stayed 7f) Caldy Dancer. Stable has plenty of winning 2yo newcomers and market support should be heeded. |
|||
10th (8)  (100/1 -1011%)Kokabah |
100/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kokabah 100/1, Foaled March 27. Mehmas filly. Half-sister to Australian 5f/6f winner Highest Standard. Dam unraced sister to 6f/6.5f winner Kinagat. Yard won this in 2017. Stable has a fine record with 2yos first time out; well worth monitoring in the market. |
|||
11th (9)  (66/1 -725%)Nightbird |
66/1(-725%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Nightbird 66/1, Foaled February 9. €100,000 yearling, Invincible Spirit filly. Sister to useful winner up to 8.6f Firebird Song and 2-y-o 6f winner Summer's Day. Dam, French 11f winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 1m/9f winner Taranto. Yard won this 3 years ago with Flotus. Stable has a fine record with 2yos first time out and took this race three years ago. |
|||
12th (10)  (100/1 -1011%)Penelope Valentine |
100/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Penelope Valentine 100/1, Foaled February 21. 32,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Irish Nectar. Dam, 2-y-o 5f/6f winner who stayed 1m, half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Paperchain. Stable capable of getting them ready first time so market support would be interesting. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
With experience thin on the ground, the betting market should be a solid reference point. Of those with a previous run, Jakarta and Royal Equerry can only progress and support for either would be noteworthy. However, the newcomers are an appealing bunch, with JEWEL OF LONDON, a 250,000gns yearling, put forward as a prime candidate to know her job at the first time of asking. Ghost Run, whose dam was a dual Group 2 winner, is also high on the shortlist.
Experience often counts for plenty here so JAKARTA and Royal Equerry could be the pair to focus on having both shown plenty to work on in decent events at Newmarket and Salisbury respectively, the former shading the vote. The Hannon stable has won this with some good fillies over the years, including with multiple Group 1 winner Sky Lantern, so the costly Jewel of London looks the pick of the newcomers.
Experience can prove key with ROYAL EQUERRY given the nod after her fourth of seven in a Salisbury conditions event this month.

1st (7)  (11/1 +31%)Tides Of War |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tides Of War 11/1, Yet to score for current yard and no real impact in a trio of outings at Meydan last winter. Hood back on. Respectable 3rd off 10lb higher in this race last year, on the only time he's worn a hood. |
|||
2nd (6)  (7/2 -17%)True Legend |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) True Legend 7/2, Improving middle-distance handicapper last season, scoring for third time at Salisbury (12f) in July. Posted solid second at Lingfield (11.6f) on return a fortnight ago and looks worth another crack at this longer trip. Can race freely, which seemed to find him out on his two runs last term over about 1m6f. |
|||
3rd (8)  (10/1 -33%)Crescent Lake |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Crescent Lake 10/1, Three-time winner last term (including over C&D) who got back to best when third of 7 in handicap at Ascot (16f, good) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Just 2 lb above last winning mark and not taken lightly. Dual C&D winner last May; back in serious calculations after his close 3rd at Ascot. |
|||
4th (3)  (6/1 +25%)Adjuvant |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Adjuvant 6/1, Looked progressive in first half of last season but ended Flat campaign with a couple of below-par efforts and made little impression on return earlier this month. His most recent efforts are a worry but he'd be a big player if reverting to his 2023 best. |
|||
5th (2)  (9/4 +18%)Vaguely Royal |
9/4(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Vaguely Royal 9/4, Developed into a useful performer after landing a Doncaster maiden in June, winning back-to-back handicaps on all-weather in the winter. Ran right up to best, returned to turf, when second in Newmarket handicap (14f, good) 20 days ago and must enter calculations. Back to turf for 2nd at Newmarket (1m6f, good) three weeks ago; probably on the premises. |
|||
6th (5)  (7/1 -27%)Get Shirty |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Get Shirty 7/1, Not scored since 2022 but his mark reflects that and he arrives on back of creditable third of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good) 8 days ago. Shortlist material. Way down the weights; finished much closer again both starts (1m4f) this term; stays 1m6f. |
|||
7th (1)  (25/1 -25%)Ranch Hand |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ranch Hand 25/1, Six wins from 19 Flat runs but not seen since creditable third in Kempton handicap (16f) 18 months ago. Market may prove best guide to claims. Ran only twice in 2022 (creditably on second occasion) and has not been seen for 556 days. |
|||
8th (4)  (11/1 +8%)There's The Door |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) There's The Door 11/1, Bagged handicaps at Doncaster and this course (9.9f) last season, both on heavy going, and far from disgraced in listed contest here (12f) latest. This trip is an unknown, however, and others are more appealing. Ran on from the back over 1m4f last two starts, as if worth this first go over further. |

VAGUELY ROYAL bumped into a potentially useful sort when finishing runner-up over this trip at Newmarket recently and, upped 2lb, he can mark himself down as a force to be reckoned with in the staying handicap ranks. Get Shirty should appreciate this return to further on the back of a creditable third over 1m4f at Hamilton last week, and he looks the main danger, while True Legend made a pleasing seasonal return at Lingfield and he completes the shortlist.
GET SHIRTY will appreciate this step back up in trip and has dropped to a handy mark. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Vaguely Royal and True Legend are feared most.
The two most likely to give their running and lead them home are CRESCENT LAKE and Vaguely Royal.

1st (4)  (7/2 -86%)Meydaan |
7/2(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Meydaan 7/2, Progressed with each start thus far, latest when third of 9 in listed Derby Trial at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Sets the standard on that form and likely has more to offer yet. 3rd in 11.4f Lingfield Derby Trial, outpaced some way out; comfortably best form in this. |
|||
2nd (7)  (2/1 +27%)Space Legend |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Space Legend 2/1, Promising type who took advantage of a good opportunity when landing the odds in Leicester maiden (10f, heavy) 28 days ago, pushed out. In good hands and is an interesting contender. Easily obliged at 4-11 in a maiden at Leicester (1m2f, soft) four weeks ago, making most. |
|||
3rd (6)  (9/2 +0%)Royal Power |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Royal Power 9/2, Well-bred colt who left debut form behind when winning 10-runner maiden at Kempton (8f) in November. Ought to be suited by this longer trip and warrants respect. Needs markedly better but he looked sure to stay further when winning 1m AW maiden as 2yo. |
|||
4th (2)  (22/1 +12%)Lavender Hill Mob |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lavender Hill Mob 22/1, Fairly-useful colt who found improvement when taking 6-runner handicap (12/1) at this course (9.9f, heavy) 22 days ago. Asked a much bigger question now, however. Saw it out very well to win 1m2f handicap here (heavy) but has a lot to find on ratings. |
|||
5th (5)  (16/1 -14%)Pappano |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pappano 16/1, Off the mark at the second attempt at Wolverhampton (12.2f) last month but struggled in Chester Vase latest and looks stable second string here, judged by jockey bookings. Won a 1m4f AW novice before his 25-1 last of six in Group 3 Chester Vase (1m4f, good). |
|||
6th (3)  (4/1 +11%)Lyric |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lyric 4/1, Confirmed promise of debut effort when taking 8-runner maiden at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 26 days ago. More on plate here but remains with potential. Clearcut Windsor maiden win (1m2f, good to soft); more in the tank, probably stamina too. |
|||
7th (1)  (40/1 +20%)Alrazeen |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alrazeen 40/1, Won twice on AW last winter and improved again since sent handicapping, latest when third of 12 on turf debut at Newmarket (10f, good) 7 days ago. This is much tougher, however. More improvement last Saturday (1m2f, good) but that was off a mark of 78; tough task. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
SPACE LEGEND got off the mark in fine style over 1m2f at Leicester on his second start last month, cutting out his own fractions before readily pulling clear of his rivals, and with further improvement likely, he can bring up the double. Royal Power improved from his first start to score over a mile at Kempton in November and he is respected on his return for an in-form stable. Third in the Lingfield Derby Trial recently, Meydaan is also one to respect.
MEYDAAN acquitted himself well upped in grade at LIngfield earlier this month and looks the one to beat. Likely improvers Space Legend and Lyric may give him most to think about.
Meydaan has done clearly the most to prove his class but could still prove vulnerable to SPACE LEGEND and Lyric.

1st (2)  (5/2 +0%)Crystal Flyer |
5/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Crystal Flyer 5/2, Much improved from debut when fourth of 8 in minor event at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 29 days ago, finishing well. That form is working out nicely and she sets the bar pretty high. Ability in both starts, including when just ahead of the Musidora winner last month. |
|||
2nd (1)  (5/1 -25%)Candle Of Dubai |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Candle Of Dubai 5/1, Zoffany filly who ran to a fair level first time up when second of 8 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 23 days ago, clear of rest. Should progress. Runner-up on his Chelmsford debut, but the winner did little for the form on Tuesday. |
|||
3rd (9)  (6/1 +8%)Nini Star |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Nini Star 6/1, Showed fair form all 4 outings for Mlle L. Pontoir in France, taking a small step forward when runner-up at Chantilly (9.9f, heavy) on final outing in March. Steadily progressive in four starts in France; shouldn't be fear away. |
|||
4th (4)  (11/2 -22%)Loves Loving |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Loves Loving 11/2, Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1m-13f winner Serve The King and 1¼m-1½m winner Loving Things, both smart. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Plenty to like on breeding and this isn't a deep race; market informative. |
|||
5th (5)  (6/1 -20%)Loving Look |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Loving Look 6/1, Made a promising start to her career when third at Windsor (10f) in April. Unable to build on that at Wolverhampton last time but conceded first run to the winner and remains open to improvement. Placed in both starts; not sure dropping in trip is ideal but still holds each-way claims. |
|||
6th (8)  (22/1 +0%)Assured |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Assured 22/1, Nathaniel filly who looked green but offered something to work on when second in 6-runner maiden at Kempton (11f) 24 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps a bit further down the line. Second of six on Kempton debut, but form of that race isn't working out. |
|||
7th (3)  (40/1 +39%)Hope Rising |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hope Rising 40/1, Little impact in minor event/maiden 6 months apart. Well held in two starts 191 days apart; qualifies for a mark after this. |
|||
8th (10)  (100/1 +0%)Thunder Sparks |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Thunder Sparks 100/1, Looks a longer term project. Well held in two AW maidens this month; may be one for handicaps after this. |
|||
9th (7)  (12/1 +25%)Umbria |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Umbria 12/1, €28,000 yearling, The Grey Gatsby filly. Half-sister to Belgian/German 7f-1¼m winner Una Nova and useful German 1m winner Ultima. Needs a market check. Probably best watched on debut unless market suggests otherwise. |
|||
10th (6)  (20/1 -43%)Springbecamesummer |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Springbecamesummer 20/1, Offered something to work on when fifth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) on debut in December, never nearer. Off 161 days. Open to improvement. Some ability on Wolverhampton debut in December; may be one for handicaps in due course. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
In an interesting contest full of potential improvers it may pay to side with CRYSTAL FLYER. Fourth but only beaten three lengths on her return at Sandown, the winner has since performed well in Listed class and the third won the Musidora Stakes at York giving the form a very solid look to it. Candle Of Dubai may prove to be her biggest danger after her debut second, closely followed by Loving Look, Assured and Springbecamesummer.
CRYSTAL FLYER took a big step forward when fourth at Sandown last month and, with that form proving strong, she's well worth siding with to get off the mark. Loving Look wasn't seen to best effect at Wolverhampton last time and remains open to improvement, while Loves Loving is an interesting newcomer.
The choice is CRYSTAL FLYER who has shown ability in both starts including when just behind Musidora winner Secret Satire last time.

1st (5)  (5/2 -11%)Grandlad |
5/2(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Grandlad 5/2, Made it third time lucky when accounting for 5 rivals at Wolverhampton (5f) where he clearly benefited from the switch to front-running tactics. Unproven on turf but mark for this handicap debut looks fair and he's otherwise very appealing. Makes handicap/turf debut; made all last time but too early to suggest he has to lead. |
|||
2nd (7)  (7/1 -17%)Kiss And Run |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kiss And Run 7/1, Off the mark in a Bath nursery in October and runner-up both starts since returning to action last month, latterly at Windsor (6f, heavy) where she pulled clear of the third. Likely to give another good account of herself. This sharp 5f could be ideal for this speedy filly, but is likely to be taken on up front. |
|||
3rd (2)  (12/1 -20%)Rainyniteingeorgia |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rainyniteingeorgia 12/1, Shaped with plenty of promise on debut at Nottingham last June and left a lesser effort in her wake when narrowly seeing off Master of My Fate in a Lingfield novice (5f, AW) in September. More on her plate back from 8 months off on handicap/yard debut but she's hardly exposed. Makes handicap/stable debut on reappearance; made all last time but may not have to lead. |
|||
4th (6)  (40/1 -21%)Baileys Polka Dot |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Baileys Polka Dot 40/1, Winner of first 2 starts as a juvenile (both at Dieppe in France) before finishing fourth in a Deauville listed contest. Hasn't shown much spark since, though, and again well held following a wind op at Yarmouth last time. Regressive since winning her first two starts in France last summer; plenty to prove. |
|||
5th (1)  (12/1 +25%)Boann |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Boann 12/1, Successful twice on the AW at 2 yrs but below par both starts so far this season and she has a bit to prove back on turf in any case. Dual AW winner; return to turf and presence of other front-runners pose questions. |
|||
6th (3)  (15/2 +38%)Dapperling |
15/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dapperling 15/2, Opened her account in a Lingfield novice last July prior to a terrific effort when second in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury later that month. Hasn't quite matched that form in 5 subsequent starts, though, and she looks vulnerable. 1-11; looks vulnerable to an improver back down in trip. |
|||
7th (4)  (15/8 +16%)Cloud King |
15/8(+16%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cloud King 15/8, Heavily-backed and much-improved when winning 11-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) on return in March. Turned over when bidding to follow up over the same C&D last month but he was beaten by a progressive type that day and he remains open to improvement. Can miss the break, but if he can get away on terms this should be run to suit; respected. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
There is plenty of early pace on show here and GRANDLAD boasts as good claims as any following his comfortable novice win on the all-weather at Wolverhampton last month. Boann drops in class and could go well despite the burden of top-weight, while Baileys Polka Dot is an outsider to consider if she can get back to her better form on her second start following a wind operation.
There should be better to come from CLOUD KING, who wasn't aided by the steady pace when a beaten favourite at Southwell and he should get a strong gallop to aim at here. Grandlad led from pillar to post when opening his account on the all-weather last time and will pose a threat if able to continue the good work now switched to turf. Kiss And Run should make her presence felt, while Rainyniteingeorgia is also of interest.
A solid pace is likely which will suit CLOUD KING, who benefited from a strong tempo when winning easily on his penultimate start.

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.
