1st (5)  (11/4 +61%)Estrange |
11/4(+61%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Estrange 11/4, 425,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder filly. Half-sister to useful 1½m winner Lmay. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 1¼m-14.5f (St Leger) winner Logician. Well worth a market check on her debut. Faces no easy task on debut but there's lots to like on paper and she could be a contender. |
|||
2nd (7)  (4/1 +56%)Lasting Love |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lasting Love 4/1, Lightly-raced filly. 17/2 and hooded for 1st time, below form seventh of 13 in maiden at Haydock (10.2f, good) 80 days ago. Not ruled out if back on her A-game. Merely mid-division on handicap debut but respected in view of her previous promise. |
|||
3rd (3)  (4/1 +0%)Eavestone |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Eavestone 4/1, Has shaped well on both her starts, second of 11 in novice at Southwell (11.1f, 6/5) 27 days ago. Should progress further. Must enter calculations. Considerable promise on both starts and she's firmly in calculations. |
|||
4th (1)  (5/2 0%)Charlotte's Web |
5/2(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Charlotte's Web 5/2, Promising Night Of Thunder filly who came in an unlucky third of 11 in novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 9 days ago, finishing strongly having suffered a poor run 1f out. The one to beat. Placed on all three starts & denied clear run at Wolverhampton latest; leading form claims. |
|||
5th (8)  (18/1 -100%)Madame Sans Gene |
18/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Madame Sans Gene 18/1, Encouraging third of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW, 16/1) on debut, better placed than most. Off 143 days but up in trip and likely to improve. Promising 3rd on debut in April (1m, AW); attractive pedigree suggests this trip will suit. |
|||
6th (2)  (9/1 -50%)Christian Bruce |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Christian Bruce 9/1, Le Havre filly. Half-sister to 1¾m winner Cavendish and 1¼m winner Lucky Fifteen. Dam, 1½m/13f winner, half-sister to high-class 1¼m-15.5f winner Ask. Of obvious interest on debut. A useful standard is needed on debut but she's in top hands and bred to be talented. |
|||
7th (9)  (50/1 -100%)Yamamah |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Yamamah 50/1, Fair filly. Fair fourth of 6 in maiden (33/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) on UK debut 18 days ago. Not discounted. Has shown plenty of ability and may have needed this month's run, but others appeal more. |
|||
8th (4)  (50/1 -52%)Equuleus Star |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Equuleus Star 50/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1, third of 8 in novice at Windsor (10f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago. Should improve. Belied 50-1 odds when third at Windsor on debut and could improve a bundle for that run. |
|||
9th (6)  (80/1 -186%)Glorious Landscape |
80/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Glorious Landscape 80/1, Once-raced filly. Fourth of 8 in maiden (16/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) on debut 34 days ago. Open to improvement. Half-sister to eight winners but well beaten on debut and needs sizeable step forward. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Having finished second in a Southwell contest that has worked out well, EAVESTONE showed enough pace over further on that occasion to suggest that she may be ideally suited by 1m2f. Roger Varian's filly gets the vote ahead of Madame Sans Gene, who ran a highly encouraging race on debut when third at Lingfield in April, and Wolverhampton third Charlotte's Web. A well-related sort who cost 425,000gns at the sales, Estrange is a newcomer to monitor for market support.
CHARLOTTE'S WEB endured a poor run when an unlucky third at Wolverhampton last week and is fancied to gain compensation at the chief expense of Roger Varian's Eavestone who also looks to have better days ahead of her but might have to settle for runner-up spot once more. Andrew Balding's Lasting Love has the form to play a part too if back on song, while newcomer Christian Bruce and Lingfield debut third Madame Sans Gene also enter calculations in this intriguing maiden.
425,000gns yearling ESTRANGE is bred to be very talented and is taken to make a winning start for David O'Meara.

1st (3)  (9/2 +25%)Godwinson |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Godwinson 9/2, Won 9f maiden at Hamilton at 3 yrs and fine placed efforts in Newbury and York handicaps this term, faring best of those held up latest. Absent again since but remains one to be firmly interested in. Well-bred 4yo who could have more to offer for his top trainer and is one to consider. |
|||
2nd (10)  (25/1 -56%)Plantadream |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Plantadream 25/1, Another good run and arguably a shade unlucky not to snap a losing sequence stretching back to 2020 when second at Sandown back from 5 months off, conceding first run and just failing. This is tougher. 9yo; went close at Sandown latest; takes on progressive rivals but can go well once more. |
|||
3rd (2)  (10/1 -25%)Twirling |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Twirling 10/1, Raised her game when opening turf account at Doncaster (1m) in May and back to form reverted to positive tactics when third at Newmarket 7 weeks ago. One to consider up 2 lb. The recent rain has been in her favour & this lightly raced 4yo could play a leading role. |
|||
4th (1)  (9/2 +10%)Toimy Son |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Toimy Son 9/2, Has shown himself in a better light this year and belatedly opened his account for the yard with his mark having slipped a full 17 lb when landing the Golden Mile Handicap here under this rider earlier this month, drawing clear final 100 yds after hanging right. Big shout again up 7 lb. Won the prestigious Golden Mile Handicap over C&D this month; has to be respected up 7lb. |
|||
5th (4)  (10/1 +38%)Crack Shot |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Crack Shot 10/1, Progressive at 3 and made a winning return at Newmarket (1m) in May. Well supported but down the field in major handicaps last 3 starts, losing action and heavily eased here last month. Bit to prove. Won on reappearance at Newmarket in May but has failed to shine on his last three starts. |
|||
6th (9)  (13/2 +19%)Magic Memories |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Magic Memories 13/2, Posted career best when returning to winning ways at Yarmouth (1m) in June and backed that up with good fourth in deeper contest at Sandown 4 weeks ago. Could go well. Won at Yarmouth in June and close fourth at Sandown since; soft ground would aid his cause. |
|||
7th (5)  (2/1 +60%)Midnight Gun |
2/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Midnight Gun 2/1, Progressive, winning Nottingham novice and Newmarket handicap (both 1m) for Ed Walker in May/June. Subsequently bought by Wathnan Racing and still looked ahead of mark starting out for this yard when third here (9.9f) just over 3 weeks ago. Considered back down in trip. Lightly raced 3yo who has a progressive profile and he's a strong candidate once more. |
|||
8th (8)  (25/1 -79%)Signcastle City |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Signcastle City 25/1, Back on track as he added another hard-fought win to what has been a productive campaign when taking 1m Ripon handicap last week. Good 5 lb claimer up but this is tougher. Three wins from last six starts; tougher race today but can't be ruled out. |
|||
9th (7)  (16/1 -45%)Orbaan |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Orbaan 16/1, Won the Golden Mile Handicap here in 2022 and back on the scoresheet when taking the Carlisle Bell in June. Shaped well in former race back here earlier this month and excuses at Beverley since. Won at Carlisle in June but this 9yo could be vulnerable against some progressive rivals. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The value may lie with GODWINSON, who may not have progressed as hoped since a strong runner-up effort in the Spring Cup at Newbury in April, but his most recent effort at York over further was creditable and the layout of this contest looks appealing. A comfortable winner of the Golden Mile over C&D earlier in the month, Toimy Son is likely to be thereabouts again off 7lb higher, while Signcastle City is another to note after a determined success at Ripon last time out.
A useful handicap in which LONG TRADITION is worth chancing back from another long absence. He won well back from a long lay-off in June 2023 and remains lightly raced for his trainer enjoying another good campaign. Golden Mile winner Toimy Son is next on the shortlist up 7 lb for that victory, while Godwinson is another to consider.
Lightly raced MIDNIGHT GUN was on the upgrade for Ed Walker and looks a good candidate for further progress after a good yard debut.

1st (6)  (15/8 +32%)Sergeant Wilko |
15/8(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sergeant Wilko 15/8, Improved performer this year and completed a double at Newmarket 45 days ago. Progressive 3-y-o who demands respect once again. 3yo who is 3-4 this year; could continue his progressive ways with another big run. |
|||
2nd (3)  (17/2 +58%)Tacarib Bay |
17/2(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tacarib Bay 17/2, Successful at listed level at Newcastle (6f) in November but hasn't fired in handicaps of late. Others make more appeal. Dropping down the weights but for good reason in view of this season's form. |
|||
3rd (2)  (25/1 -25%)Wodao |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wodao 25/1, Listed winner in Ireland as a juvenile. Also runner-up at listed/Group 3 level at the start of his 3-y-o campaign but lost his way for Donnacha O'Brien later in the year. No obvious promise on his reappearance for new yard 5 weeks ago but he is 5 lb lower here. A return to form is needed but he may have needed his stable debut outing in June. |
|||
4th (7)  (15/2 +32%)Baldomero |
15/2(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Baldomero 15/2, Likeable sort who deservedly opened his account on turf over C&D in May. Exploits mixed since but far from disgraced at Windsor on latest outing and could get involved if things drop right. Rain will help his chances. Now 3lb lower than when winning over C&D in May but form hasn't hit same heights since. |
|||
5th (1)  (5/1 +9%)Rumstar |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rumstar 5/1, Winless since 2022 but he's well treated and caught the eye when a staying-on seventh in the Stewards' Cup here last time. Worth chancing back in calmer waters. Denied clear run when seventh in the Stewards' Cup and high on the list. |
|||
6th (8)  (7/2 +53%)Tiriac |
7/2(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tiriac 7/2, Latest win at York in May. Found good run of form coming to a halt at Hamilton last time but he's the type to bounce back quickly. Not discounted. Progressive when tackling good to soft ground this season and he's one to be interested in. |
|||
7th (5)  (15/2 -125%)Amazonian Dream |
15/2(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Amazonian Dream 15/2, Latest win at Windsor in July. 16/1, good second of 16 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Likeable sort who should put up another solid showing. In fine form at Windsor of late & went close over C&D last year on sole previous run here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
SERGEANT WILKO has continued to go from strength to strength this season and a 4lb rise for a taking success in a valuable handicap at Newmarket last month could prove lenient. The son of Bungle Inthejungle can take this before a possible tilt at the Ayr Gold Cup next month, with the progressive and consistent Amazonian Dream looking best placed to chase him home. The Jack Channon stable has been in excellent form of late and Tiriac must enter calculations on some of the form he has shown this season.
RUMSTAR shaped well in the Stewards' Cup last time and this is obviously less competitive, so he's worth a chance to snap a losing run. Improving 3-y-o Sergeant Wilko is an obvious danger along with the likeable Amazonian Dream.
This week's rain has been a positive for TIRIAC, who was progressive on good to soft ground earlier in the campaign. He earns the vote.

1st (13)  (9/4 +65%)Qirat |
9/4(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Qirat 9/4, C&D winner in May and has run to a similar level in defeat both starts in handicaps at Royal Ascot/Newmarket subsequently upped to 1m. Versatile as regards ground and he's worth considering from a handy draw/returned to 7f. Record of 2-3 over 7f features a very solid win at this course in May; strong claims. |
|||
2nd (3)  (8/1 +11%)Witness Stand |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Witness Stand 8/1, Useful 7f scorer at 2yrs and he left a disappointing run at Chester well behind in first-time cheekpieces when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 40/1) 22 days ago, well drawn. Up 8 lb but effective on ground slower than good. Took well to first-time cheekpieces in 7f handicap at Glorious Goodwood; warrants respect. |
|||
3rd (12)  (15/2 +0%)Blue Prince |
15/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Blue Prince 15/2, Enjoyed a productive spell on the AW over the winter and having been holding his form well all year, proved better than ever as he scored for the first time this turf season in 18-runner C&D handicap just over 3 weeks ago, crucially getting first run. In the mix. Better than ever in competitive 7f event at Glorious Goodwood, adding to his 6f wins. |
|||
4th (6)  (11/1 0%)King's Lynn |
11/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) King's Lynn 11/1, Not the force of old but found some consistency at a lower level of late, creditable third of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago, headed final 100 yds and no extra. This his first try at 7f. Useful sprinter; knocking at the door this year; possibilities if taking well to new trip. |
|||
5th (2)  (28/1 -27%)Ouzo |
28/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ouzo 28/1, Ended 2023 with a win at Ascot (1m) and returned to land a pair of 9f Meydan handicaps in January/February. Finished midfield on British return at Royal Ascot in June and never dangerous when thirteenth of 17 in handicap at this course (9.9f) 26 days ago. Little margin for error from this mark. Not crying out for this sharp drop back in trip, having done most winning at 1m-1m1f. |
|||
6th (1)  (9/1 +0%)Rebel Territory |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rebel Territory 9/1, Winner of both appearances of what turned out to be a truncated 2023 campaign, latterly taking the 22-runner Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, soft) with a good deal of authority. 15-month absence to overcome but any further rain arriving will aid his cause from this 8 lb higher mark. 2-2 since dropped to 7f and looks interesting on return from 15-month absence. |
|||
7th (10)  (25/1 -79%)Embrace |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Embrace 25/1, Useful performer for Owen Burrows last year who changed hands for 100,000 gns but she ran poorly after 6 months off when eighth in French listed race in April. Absent since but she could yet revive for good stable. Betting may prove informative. Hood discarded. Drops back in grade on second start for new yard; market support should be heeded. |
|||
8th (7)  (16/1 +20%)Telemark |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Telemark 16/1, Improved for fitting of a tongue tie when successful at Thirsk (7f) in June. Finished nearer last than first in handicaps at York/Chester since though. Bounce back called for. Useful performance at Thirsk in June; two duck eggs since; big rebound is needed. |
|||
9th (5)  (7/1 +22%)Metal Merchant |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Metal Merchant 7/1, Returned with an improved performance to win Newbury Spring Cup (1m). Mostly good efforts in defeat since, particularly when fourth of 18 in the strong International at Ascot last time. Respected. Spring Cup winner; close fourth in major 7f handicap at Ascot last time; in the mix. |
|||
10th (14)  (40/1 -150%)Billy Mill |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Billy Mill 40/1, Enjoyed a productive all-weather campaign, winning 3 times. Kept busy and held form well in recent months, producing another fine effort as he resumed winning ways at Ascot (7f) 4 weeks ago. Well positioned then but rider's claim off-sets latest weight rise. Productive sort who won at Ascot most recently; this is a stiffer assignment. |
|||
11th (9)  (14/1 -27%)Darkness |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Darkness 14/1, Bounced back to his best when landing a 10-runner Newmarket (7f) in June. Run with credit in trio of starts since, fourth of 6 in handicap (9/2) at Newmarket (8f, good) 9 days ago. Versatile as regards ground and likely to give another good account of himself. Recent form includes a creditable fourth in major handicap here; frame possibilities. |
|||
12th (4)  (16/1 +20%)Rhoscolyn |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rhoscolyn 16/1, Fine record over 7f/1m in the mud (3-time C&D winner) and proved at least as good as ever when striking at Epsom in May. Hasn't fired in trio of starts since but any further easing in the ground will help and the handicapper has eased his grip. Four wins at Goodwood include this race 12 months ago; far from consistent this term. |
|||
13th (11)  (25/1 +0%)Way To Dubai |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Way To Dubai 25/1, Unlucky not to win with cheekpieces fitted when second at Chester (7f, soft) in May. Has struggled to replicate that back at that venue in 2 runs more recently, however. Successful in Germany; inconsistent form in Britain; others preferred. |
|||
14th (8)  (40/1 -82%)Inishfallen |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Inishfallen 40/1, Fairly useful juvenile. Form plateaued towards the end of the campaign, and he again came up well short in Group/listed contests earlier this season. Gelded/off 3 months and betting may prove useful back in handicaps. Drops back in class but it's not clear whether he's trained on; gelded since last run. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
WITNESS STAND made a mockery of his big odds when scooting in by three lengths in a warm handicap over track and trip earlier in the month and he was hit with an 8lb rise for that triumph. The son of Expert Eye retains the cheekpieces applied on that occasion and could take this before going onto better things. The main danger might be the hat-trick seeking Rebel Territory, who was last seen comfortably scoring in the 2023 Victoria Cup at Ascot and the six-year-old commands the utmost respect on his return to action. Qirat is the pick of the remainder.
QIRAT hasn't quite kicked on as expected following his C&D success in the spring but he remains low-mileage and, returned to this track/trip from a handy draw, he's given the narrow vote to get back on track. Metal Merchant is another high on the shortlist following his good fourth in the International at Ascot. Witness Stand and Rhoscolyn are others to consider.
Judged on the strength of his C&D win in May, QIRAT (nap) is particularly interesting. Witness Stand is feared most.

6/4(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Clever Relation 6/4, Debut 10f winner who advanced his form when third of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good) 106 days ago. Holds solid place claims. Returned to form with close third at Nottingham in May and he's entitled to respect. |
|||
2nd (2)  (2/1 -150%)Sea Legend |
2/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sea Legend 2/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who made a winning start for new trainer James Fanshawe at Newcastle (10.2f) in May. Failed to get home over 14f when last of 8 in handicap at Haydock 37 days ago so the clear form choice back in trip with hood back on. Stretched by 1m6f last time; the one to beat on today's terms if he's at his best. |
|||
3rd (6)  (10/1 +0%)Make A Scene |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Make A Scene 10/1, Unreliable type. 10/3, third of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy) 2 days ago. In form before struggling on heavy ground on Friday; bit to find even if back on song. |
|||
4th (1)  (7/2 +13%)Roger Henry |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Roger Henry 7/2, Scored at Beverley in July and in good nick since, third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and firmly in the picture. In good form in 1m2f handicaps; no easy task off top weight but might not be far away. |
|||
5th (4)  (25/1 -56%)Spanish Poet |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Spanish Poet 25/1, Failed to go on for Ralph Beckett and came in a well-held fourth over hurdles at Newton Abbot last month for his current yard. Needs to take a big step forward. Won on debut last August but hasn't shone this year and may be best watched. |
|||
6th (5)  (40/1 +20%)Wild Tempo |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Wild Tempo 40/1, 150/1, thirteenth of 15 in novice at Windsor (10f, good to firm) on his debut 76 days ago. Lots more is required. Tailed off at 150-1 on debut at Windsor in June and a dramatic transformation is required. |

SEA LEGEND ran too bad to be true when finishing last at Haydock on his latest start, but he finished a fair fourth at Newcastle prior to that in a class 3 handicap. James Fanshawe's four-year-old sets the standard for others to aim at with a rating of 85 and looks difficult to oppose. Clever Relation finished a close-up third over 1m6f at Nottingham in May and should go well, while Roger Henry is in good form and can fight it out for the minor honours.
SEA LEGEND possesses much the best form on show and now back at a more suitable trip is impossible to side against lowered in grade. Roger Henry arrives in good form so should ensure James Fanshawe's 4-y-o doesn't have things all his own way, while Clever Relation can't be ruled out either on the back of his excellent Nottingham third.
1m6f stretched SEA LEGEND at Haydock last month and he has leading claims on his previous form. Clever Relation is second choice.

11/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Skibo 11/4, Promising sort who was doing all his best work late on when third of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 16 days ago. Likely more to come and holds solid claims. Promising third over 7f at Newmarket, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; respected. |
|||
4th (1)  (6/1 +8%)El Madar |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) El Madar 6/1, Thrice-raced colt. Improved from debut when fourth at Salisbury last month and ran to a similar level when fourth of 9 in novice at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Major player on form and he's bred to be suited by this C&D (by a Sussex Stakes winner). |
|||
5th (2)  (7/2 +36%)Hunky Dory |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hunky Dory 7/2, Posted fair fifth of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good, 5/1) on debut 16 days ago and should have learnt plenty from that experience.

|||
6th (4)  (33/1 -32%)Telecommunication |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Telecommunication 33/1, No real impact on debut in a Newmarket maiden 16 days ago and is likely to need more time. Finished behind a couple of these rivals at Newmarket; best watched. |

Half-brother to a winner in Qatar by War Front and 1m winner Mount King. Dam unraced, closely related to top-class miler Toronado. Market check advised on debut. 20,000gns yearling; appears to have an ideal starting point, judged on breeding. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
El Madar has shown a decent level of ability in three starts to date but could be vulnerable to an improver. With that in mind, preference is for TOO SOON, who caught the eye when staying on well to take fifth in a valuable maiden over 7f here three weeks ago. Skibo has a similar profile to the selection and should not be discounted, while Special Ghaiyyath is also noted.
TOO SOON caught the eye staying on late here on debut here earlier this month and will appreciate this longer trip. He can open his account. Skibo and Hunky Dory are also open to improvement and are feared most.
Several have possibilities in quite an open and interesting maiden. The percentage call goes to TOO SOON, ahead of Skibo.

1st (5)  (12/1 -100%)Wonderful Eagle |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Wonderful Eagle 12/1, Fair winner at 22f over hurdles and achieved plenty on the Flat in Germany. 8/1, won 6-runner handicap at Southwell on Flat debut wasn't in the same form there next time. 119-day break might have helped. Has had wind op since last run in April and he goes well fresh; could have a part to play. |
|||
2nd (7)  (7/1 -56%)Duke Of Verona |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Duke Of Verona 7/1, Five-time winner for William Jarvis who returned to action with an encouraging third for new yard at Epsom (12f) in April. Couldn't replicate that when fifth at Salisbury but quickly back on his game when third at Sandown 71 days ago. Eased further 1lb and has to be of serious interest. A couple of fair efforts this season, following an absence, and he's not ruled out. |
|||
3rd (8)  (85/40 +61%)East India Dock |
85/40(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) East India Dock 85/40, Scored at Salisbury (12f) in May and creditable efforts on two of three subsequent outings, fourth at Haydock 50 days ago. May not have reached his limit and merits consideration. Tackles 2m for first time but it could be within range; this 3yo goes on the shortlist. |
|||
4th (1)  (11/4 +31%)Temporize |
11/4(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Temporize 11/4, Resumed winning ways in 10-runner handicap at Newbury (16.5f, good to firm) in July and far from disgraced when eighth in 18-runner event at Goodwood last time. Has left Syd Hosie and drops back in trip/grade. Course winner who scored at Newbury two starts ago; every chance he'll be in the mix. |
|||
5th (6)  (6/1 -100%)Tenerife Sunshine |
6/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tenerife Sunshine 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Second of 4 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good, 4/1) 7 days ago. Booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye and he ought to go close. C&D winner who went close at Pontefract last Sunday and could be a contender. |
|||
6th (4)  (7/1 -17%)Percy Shelley |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Percy Shelley 7/1, Useful performer in France who was successful 3 times in 2022. Yet to score in 8 attempts for current yard but has fallen in the weights and ran with credit on his last couple of outings. One to strongly consider. Third at Haydock three weeks ago when upped to 2m and he could be thereabouts. |
|||
7th (2)  (28/1 -40%)Greysful Storm |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Greysful Storm 28/1, Emphatic winner of a big-field handicap at Newbury (10f) last spring and runner-up on 3 occasions thereafter. Hasn't been firing this term, though. Well treated on course form from last September but has struggled this season. |
|||
8th (3)  (22/1 -120%)Howth |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Howth 22/1, Finally opened his account for this yard at Wolverhampton (14f) in March and got back on track when fifth at Ascot last time. Doesn't appear to have much in hand, so tongue tie will need to bring more out of him. Won at Wolverhampton (AW) in March but hasn't shone on either start this summer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
TEMPORIZE struggled to make an impact in the Goodwood Handicap over 2m4f earlier in the month, but his previous success at Newbury suggests that he is likely to be competitive at this level. East India Dock was not disgraced in a competitive three-year-old handicap at Haydock when last seen and he should not be underestimated. Percy Shelley edges out Duke Of Verona to be the pick of the remainder.
PERCY SHELLEY is down to an appealing mark and has looked back in form lately, so he gets the marginal vote in a tightly-knit affair. Duke of Verona is of interest back from a break and Tenerife Sunshine warrants plenty of respect.
Topweight TEMPORIZE won the 2m4f handicap at the Glorious meeting here last year and ran well for a long way in the same race last time.

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.
