1st (15) (8/1 -60%) Lord Riddiford |
8/1(-60%) | (15) Lord Riddiford 8/1, Is struggling for form at present but has won the last 2 renewals of this contest, so can't be dismissed lightly. Winner of the last 2 runnings of this (soft and good); lower mark now; very interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (12/1 +14%) Existent |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Existent 12/1, Highly tried since winning a pair of AW handicaps in early 2022. Ran respectably in a first-time visor returned to handicap company when fifth at Ascot last month but wasn't in the same form there 3 days ago. Hood on for 1st time/cheekpieces refitted. Fair 5f Group form; creditable handicap run in July; down the field at Ascot on Saturday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (12/1 +25%) Alligator Alley |
12/1(+25%) | (9) Alligator Alley 12/1, Completed a hat-trick on AW last winter and encouragingly ended his sequence of slow starts when third in 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm) 44 days ago. Not out of things. Useful C&D form as 2yo; favourably treated; excuse in the Dash; best on good or quicker. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (7/1 +50%) Designer |
7/1(+50%) | (11) Designer 7/1, Has yet to fire this season, her response to pressure a weak one in a listed event at Ayr (5f, firm) 38 days ago. On the plus side, she's been given a chance by the handicapper. Improver over 5f in 2022; below-par efforts on last 2 starts push her down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (20/1 +9%) Lihou |
20/1(+9%) | (14) Lihou 20/1, 4 wins from 11 runs this year, latest at Epsom in April. Not seen to best effect under a 7-lb claimer on most recent outing at Chester, having raced wide. Added four 5f races this year; needs something special to win this competitive race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8/1 -60%) Vintage Clarets |
8/1(-60%) | (6) Vintage Clarets 8/1, Back on the scoreboard at Chester (5.1f) in June and followed up in ready fashion at Newcastle (5f) 13 days later. Posted another good effort when third at Ascot (5f, soft) last time and ought to go well again. Useful efforts at 5f this summer; same mark as recent Ascot 3rd; can go well off same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (22/1 +33%) Acklam Express |
22/1(+33%) | (3) Acklam Express 22/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2020 and ran below form in a first-time tongue strap returned to handicap company at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 54 days ago, albeit not ideally placed. Needs to better recent efforts. Won C&D handicap as 2yo; high-class form since; excuses for both British runs in 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (7.5/1 +6%) Dream Composer |
7.5/1(+6%) | (5) Dream Composer 7.5/1, Has taken his form up a notch this year, bagging his third handicap when getting up close home at Sandown (5f) last month. Not seen to best effect when down the field at Ascot on most recent outing and better judged on previous form as a result. Won over 6f and 5f here; looked good at Sandown in July; capable of having a say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (3.33/1 +17%) Raasel |
3.33/1(+17%) | (2) Raasel 3.33/1, Another big success story for these connections, winning at listed/Group 3 level last year. Hasn't quite hit the same heights this time round but posted another respectable effort in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 15 in handicap at Ascot (5f, soft) 17 days ago. Ought to go well again. Yet to match the excellence of 5f runs last summer, including C&D, but not far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (12/1 -100%) Navello |
12/1(-100%) | (12) Navello 12/1, Returned to form with cheekpieces reapplied when landing 20-runner Epsom Dash (5f, good to firm) 59 days ago, leading close home. Remains feasibly treated on the pick of last season's form. Things never went right here 12 months ago but fine strike-rate at 5f on tricky tracks. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (9/1 +25%) Whenthedealinsdone |
9/1(+25%) | (13) Whenthedealinsdone 9/1, C&D winner who was below form in first-time blinkers at Ascot (5f, soft,) on most recent outing. Needs to bounce back in a first-time tongue strap (also refitted with cheekpieces). C&D winner at this meeting in 2021; back on latest winning mark but ebbs and flows now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (10/1 +44%) Bedford Flyer |
10/1(+44%) | (7) Bedford Flyer 10/1, Ran well first 2 starts for new yard but was below form in handicap won by Vintage Clarets at Newcastle (5f) 32 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Two prominent shows in 5f York handicaps for new yard; disappointing on AW in June. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
LORD RIDDIFORD might not have been at his best recently, but he has won this contest two years on the spin, the latest off 3lb higher, and John Quinn's battle-hardened sprinter is fancied to bounce back at his favoured venue. Navello makes obvious appeal having landed the Dash off 3lb lower in June, while Raasel, who posted an improved effort at Ascot 17 days ago, might not be far away either. Vintage Clarets and Dream Composer are also noted.
RAASEL is still operating a little way below last year's levels but he ran respectably back in handicap company at Ascot on his most recent outing and could be the answer off a 1 lb lower mark, especially now returned to Goodwood where he boasts form figures of 112. Vintage Clarets finished a place ahead of the selection at Ascot and ought to go well again, with Navello and Dream Composer others to consider.
Raasel's C&D form earns him a lot of respect but LORD RIDDIFORD has a special record in this race and can bring up the hat-trick.

Sixth of 11 in novice at Naas (5.9f, good, 11/2) on debut 24 days ago. Tongue strap on. Should progress. Showed lots of early speed before weakening into sixth when only 11-2 at Naas (6f, good). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (0.67/1 +51%) Array |
0.67/1(+51%) | (3) Array 0.67/1, No Nay Never colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 1m winner Maximal and 6f/7f winner Jubiloso, both smart. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to Frankel. 7/4, promising second of 8 in novice at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on debut last month, clear of rest. Form pick.

Should improve. Third on debut; not ideally drawn but highly likely that he'll take a step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (12/1 +33%) Havanagreattime |
12/1(+33%) | (10) Havanagreattime 12/1, €31,000 foal, €105,000 yearling, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to 11f/1½m winner Mukhaater and very smart 1¼m-2m winner Baron Samedi. Dam ran twice. Third of 13 in novice event (15/2) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement. Had a wide trip when third at Windsor; anticipated improvement should see him in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (11/1 -57%) Dorney Lake |
11/1(-57%) | (8) Dorney Lake 11/1, Foaled March 16. 58,000 gns foal, 110,000 gns yearling, Ardad colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Peggy's Angel and 6f winner Mrs Discombe.

Dam, 9.2f-1½m winner, sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Royal Bench. Yard has good record in this. Likely type. 300,000gns foal; interesting newcomer from a yard that targets this meeting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

22/1(-22%) | (12) Robbo 22/1, Foaled January 13. £40,000 yearling, Camacho colt. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to Preis der Diana winner Mystic Lips, runner-up in German 1000 Guineas. £40,000 yearling; fourth foal; dam German middle-distance maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

50/1(-52%) | (5) Cloud King 50/1, Foaled February 17. 100,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Dam unraced closely related to smart 5f-7f winner Hajoum and half-sister to smart 5f winner Swiss Lake out of useful winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f/6f winner) Blue Iris. 100,000gns yearling; bred to be quick and market can guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (66/1 -100%) Dark Dreamer |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (22/1 -10%) Darroch |
22/1(-10%) | (7) Darroch 22/1, 40,000 gns yearling, Time Test colt. Dam 5f-7f winner. Third of 5 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 14/1) on debut 44 days ago. Should have more to offer. No danger to the front two at Salisbury but shaped nicely and should improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (12/1 -200%) Union Island |
12/1(-200%) | (14) Union Island 12/1, 12,500 gns yearling, £46,000 2-y-o, U S Navy Flag colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 7f winner Lord Sam's Castle. Dam of little account, sister to very smart winner up to 1m Footstepsinthesand. 9/1, second of 4 in maiden at Hamilton (6f) on debut 11 days ago. May well do better. 9-1 and outsider of the four runners when splitting experienced opposition at Hamilton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (100/1 -52%) Bu Sidra |
100/1(-52%) | (4) Bu Sidra 100/1, 9,000 gns yearling, £15,000 2-y-o, Le Brivido colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1¾m Elegiac and useful 1¼m winner Lawless Secret. Dam 1m-1½m winner. 14/1, third of 5 in maiden at Brighton (6f, soft) on debut 42 days ago. Open to progress. Only just missed out at Brighton but in a modest race and this will be way tougher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

33/1(-50%) | (13) Rockytherockstar 33/1, Foaled March 31. €25,000 foal, €85,000 yearling, Oasis Dream colt.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
An intriguing maiden in which ARRAY gets the vote in following a pleasing second on his racecourse debut at Newbury last month, beating subsequent winner Indian Run into third. His pedigree needs no introduction to any racing fan and, given his dam is a half-sister to the world-class Frankel, there is likely much more to come from Andrew Balding's inmate. Alaskan Gold finished third over this distance at Nottingham on his racecourse debut and is feared most, while the unraced A La Noche appeals most of the newcomers.
ARRAY came with a reputation and duly shaped encouragingly first time up at Newbury, going down only to a useful one with experience and pulling clear from a subsequent winner. He looks useful and can go one better. A La Noche and Dorney Lake are a couple of newcomers to note.
Andrew Balding's ARRAY, who has a Gimcrack entry, was strong in the market when second at Newbury and the third impressed on Saturday.

1st (3) (33/1 -18%) Ancient Rome |
33/1(-18%) | (3) Ancient Rome 33/1, Useful ex-French 1m/9f winner who posted a solid third of 4 in Prix Messidor at Chantilly (1m, good) 16 days ago. Can't be discounted now stepping up in trip on his yard/handicap debut. Won French Group 3 at 2 (1m, good to soft); mixed since; tough handicap for British debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (10/1 +0%) Haunted Dream |
10/1(+0%) | (8) Haunted Dream 10/1, Enhanced his good strike rate on the AW when scoring at Chelmsford in April and comes here on the back of a cracking third of 18 to Pride of America in John Smith's Cup at York. This reliable sort must enter calculations. Solid contender on 1m2f form at Sandown and York (good and good to soft); involved again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8/1 +11%) Pride Of America |
8/1(+11%) | (2) Pride Of America 8/1, Much improved this term on the back of another breathing op, scoring at Chester in May and in John Smith's Cup at York 17 days ago. Has a career-high mark to overcome now but he still can't be taken lightly. Continued fine handicap form for yard with big 1m2f York win latest; others less exposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (11/1 +31%) Paradias |
11/1(+31%) | (12) Paradias 11/1, Returned to winning ways at Sandown in June and not disgraced when fifth of 13 to Lord Protector there (10f, good) 24 days ago. One for the shortlist. Has course form; good 1m2f win in June but well held next time; has share of weight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (18/1 -29%) Caius Chorister |
18/1(-29%) | (6) Caius Chorister 18/1, Rapid improver in handicaps last year, completing a 5-timer at this meeting. In excellent form this term too until coming in last of ten in listed event at Pontefract last month. Sort to bounce back. Determined winner over 1m3f here last July but others may now be better treated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (6.5/1 +28%) Lord Protector |
6.5/1(+28%) | (7) Lord Protector 6.5/1, Arrives on the up and opened his account for 2023 in 13-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 24 days ago by ¾ length from Haunted Dream. Up 4 lb but well in the mix. Good 5th from off the pace in this race last year; slow start to 2023; in good form now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (3.33/1 +17%) Eagle's Way |
3.33/1(+17%) | (11) Eagle's Way 3.33/1, Most progressive last summer, winning all of his 4 starts, and he resumed from 10 months off with a promising runner-up in 10f Yarmouth handicap five days ago. Has more to offer so this low-mileage 4-y-o holds excellent claims off an unchanged mark. Won all 4 handicaps at 1m2f in 2022; close 2nd on reappearance; quick return; bang there. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (40/1 -21%) Cadillac |
40/1(-21%) | (1) Cadillac 40/1, Cheekpieces on for the first time when opening account for George Boughey at Epsom last month. Badly hampered early in the Wolferton so that run easy to forgive and he's back in a handicap starting out for a new yard. Considered. C&D form on good to soft; improved to win 1m2f Epsom handicap in June; up 5lb; new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (3.5/1 -5%) Millebosc |
3.5/1(-5%) | (9) Millebosc 3.5/1, Placed form at highest level as a 3-y-o when trained in France and he has made a very pleasing start for his current yard, off 8 months before running-on seventh of 18 to Pride of America in John Smith's Cup at York. Very much one to consider off an unchanged mark. High-class 3rd in French Derby; disappointing since; glimmers for new yard with excuses. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (25/1 +0%) Marhaba The Champ |
25/1(+0%) | (14) Marhaba The Champ 25/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who resumed progress on back of 7 months off when landing 10f York handicap in May. Tongue tied when only fair sixth at Epsom since so more is needed. Won 2 of 4 handicaps but soundly beaten in the other two; more needed on best efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (28/1 -12%) Imperial Fighter |
28/1(-12%) | (4) Imperial Fighter 28/1, Third in last year's Irish 2000 Guineas but below that form since. Slightly better signs when fifth in Epsom Group 3 in June and raced in unfavoured centre when 23rd in Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last time. More is needed in a first-time hood. Winless since 7f debut at this meeting in 2021; out the back in the Hunt Cup; now hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (33/1 +18%) Kitsune Power |
33/1(+18%) | (13) Kitsune Power 33/1, Made excellent strides in handicaps last year, gaining third success at Beverley (10f) in August. Posted a good third at Lingfield (10f) 26 days ago so possibilities off an easing mark. Good effort when 2nd in 1m1f handicap here last July; prefers good or quicker ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (20/1 -67%) Outbreak |
20/1(-67%) | (10) Outbreak 20/1, Comfortably landed 1m handicap at Newmarket in May. Ridden too aggressively when twenty sixth of 30 in Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last time so no surprise to see him get back on track for yard which has excellent record in this event. Not yet proved stamina beyond 1m on turf but yard won 4 of the last 9 runnings of this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (15) (16/1 -60%) Moktasaab |
16/1(-60%) | (15) Moktasaab 16/1, C&D winner but he's an unreliable sort overall and came in only eleventh of 13 to Lord Protector in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 24 days ago. Others appeal more. Had every chance when 3rd in this last year; 5lb lower now but has difficult win task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (5) (22/1 -83%) Soto Sizzler |
22/1(-83%) | (5) Soto Sizzler 22/1, Course winner when under the care of David Menuisier. Shaped well on only his second run for current yard when third of 8 in 10f handicap at Epsom in April. Interesing after a break with Ryan Moore (won on him twice before) back in the saddle. No real show in two previous runnings but 7lb lower than last July; 3rd run for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
PRIDE OF AMERICA (winner), Haunted Dream (third) and Millebosc (seventh) were heavily involved in a good quality renewal of the John Smith's Cup at York last month and, while they all boast solid claims, the former shades preference and is fancied to come out on top again off just a 4lb higher mark. The ground has come up in his favour and, with Frederick Larson able to claim 3lb, there is a lot to like about his chance. Sandown winner Lord Protector is another who commands attention.
EAGLE'S WAY failed in his bid for a five-timer when runner-up at Yarmouth last week but still posted a promising effort after ten months off the track so Sir Mark Prescott's improver is taken to resume winning ways. William Haggas' Millebosc caught the eye when seventh in the John Smith's Cup last time and heads the list of dangers, although the quartet of Soto Sizzler, Outbreak, Haunted Dream and Paradias all have plenty to recommend them too in this ultra-competitive handicap.
There has been enough promise in MILLEBOSC's two runs for William Haggas to think he has a big handicap in him off his current mark.

1st (2) (2.25/1 +32%) Haatem |
2.25/1(+32%) | (2) Haatem 2.25/1, Bath maiden winner who took his form up a notch when fifth of 20 in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Confirmed stamina for 7f when runner-up in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes and that form puts him right in the mix. No match for City Of Troy last time (over 7f) but beating the rest so easily bodes well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3.33/1 +26%) Iberian |
3.33/1(+26%) | (3) Iberian 3.33/1, Well backed and posted fairly-useful effort when taking 13-runner novice event at Newbury over 6.5f, on debut in June. Open to plenty of improvement, particularly over 7f so he's dangerous to rule out. The form of his Newbury win has taken some knocks but he did that very easily. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/1 -47%) Mountain Bear |
11/1(-47%) | (4) Mountain Bear 11/1, Left his debut run behind when landing big-field maiden at the Curragh in June. Hampered early when seventh of 9 in the July Stakes and on the evidence of that race, he's ready for 7f. Only seventh in the July Stakes at Newmarket and others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/1 -14%) Golden Mind |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Golden Mind 4/1, Half-brother to Perfect Power who won the Norfolk and Commonwealth Cup and he's going the right way himself, building on an encouraging debut when landing 6f Leicester maiden. Stuck to the task really well when third in thew Chesham over 7f when last seen. Closing in fast on the winner when third in the Chesham at Royal Ascot; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (20/1 +0%) Son |
20/1(+0%) | (6) Son 20/1, Built on encouraging debut effort when taking 10-runner maiden at Newbury (6.5f) with a but in hand. Fared about as well as could be expected when fifth of 9 in the Superlative Stakes over 7f 17 days ago. Newbury winner who had a reality check when nowhere in the Superlative at Newmarket. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (14/1 +0%) Witness Stand |
14/1(+0%) | (9) Witness Stand 14/1, Foaled January 24. 80,000 gns foal, Expert Eye colt. Half-brother to 3 winners and created a fine impression himself when taking 7-runner maiden on debut at Chester in June (7f). Wasn't extended to so and he's a sure-fire improver. Doubt he beat much at Chester and brings up the rear on Topspeed/RPR figures. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (20/1 -25%) Soldier's Gold |
20/1(-25%) | (5) Soldier's Gold 20/1, Going the right way, off the mark in Carlisle novice in June before finding a jolt of progress to follow up switched to a nursery at Ascot. Well worth his place in this grade tackling 7f for the first time. Made light work of top weight in an Ascot nursery and evidently progressing well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (8/1 +0%) Thunder Blue |
8/1(+0%) | (8) Thunder Blue 8/1, Opened account in fine style over 6f here in June and far from disgraced when fifth of 14 in the Norfolk Stakes since. Another fair fourth in the July Stakes but no reason to think he's much better than that unless improving for 7f. Ran okay in Group 2s the last twice but there are doubts about him over an extra furlong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (14/1 +30%) Spanish Phoenix |
14/1(+30%) | (7) Spanish Phoenix 14/1, Leicester maiden winner who was doing all his best work at the finish when eighth of 20 in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Promises to stay 7f but weakened out of, albeit in the face of a stiff task in the Superlative Stakes. Twice beaten by Haatem and needs to find a surge of improvement from somewhere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
HAATEM has progressed well since catching the eye here on his racecourse debut in May. Fifth in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, he filled the runner-up spot in the Superlative at Newmarket behind City Of Troy, when seeing out this distance well, and, without a rival of that calibre in this line-up, Richard Hannon's colt has the ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways. Iberian made a bright start to his career at Newbury and should go well along with Chesham third Golden Mind.
On the face of it, IBERIAN has quite a bit to find graduating from novice company, but he created a very favourable impression when winning at Newbury and, given his pedigree, there should be lots more to come. Haatem had little chance with a top prospect in the Superlative Stakes but he beat the rest easily enough and he's the form pick, with Soldier's Gold another to consider up in trip.
Iberian is promising and Haatem is solid, but GOLDEN MIND is better than the bare form of his Chesham third.

1st (4) (0.91/1 +17%) Kinross |
0.91/1(+17%) | (4) Kinross 0.91/1, Very smart operator over 6f/7f who won this in 2021 and was a close second last year. His recent 1½ lengths third to Shaquille in the July Cup suggests he's every bit as good as ever at the age of 6 and he should prove hard to beat. Won this race in 2021 and close second last year; third in July Cup; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (2.5/1 +9%) Isaac Shelby |
2.5/1(+9%) | (8) Isaac Shelby 2.5/1, All-the-way winner of the Greenham over this trip on his Newbury reappearance and only just edged out in the French 2000 Guineas next time. A bit too free for his own good when fourth in the St James's Palace at Royal Ascot and the drop back to 7f could suit. Smart colt; has won two notable 7f prizes; solid efforts at Group 1 level the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (28/1 -100%) Marbaan |
28/1(-100%) | (9) Marbaan 28/1, Enjoyed his finest hour when winning the Group 2 Vintage over C&D at last year's Glorious meeting. His near miss in a 6f Salisbury listed event last month shows he has trained on but he was well beaten in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot since. Returns to 7f for the first time this year. Won the Vintage Stakes on this card last year; possibilities back over this C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (12/1 +45%) Holguin |
12/1(+45%) | (6) Holguin 12/1, Career best when winning 10-runner listed race at Chester (7f, heavy) 17 days ago but he'll need another if he's to play a leading role in this higher grade. Listed winner at Chester last time; consistent and steadily progressive; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (14/1 +13%) Indestructible |
14/1(+13%) | (7) Indestructible 14/1, Useful 2-y-o for Michael O'Callaghan at 2. Took his form up another notch when making a successful reappearance for this yard in Craven at Newmarket. Has found life tough at Group 1 level since (beaten 6¾ lengths when fourth in 7f French Group 1 latest) and this isn't much easier. Has a progressive record when racing below the top level; interesting back down in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (7.5/1 +6%) Audience |
7.5/1(+6%) | (2) Audience 7.5/1, Much improved since being gelded and fitted with a hood, reappearing to win a 7f Newmarket Group 3 last month by 2 lengths from the reopposing Jumby. Unlikely to be far away if in similar form. 2-2 since being gelded and fitted with hood; made all in the Criterion last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
KINROSS looks solid in here given he finished a neck second in the race 12 months ago and won it the year before that. A dual Group 1 winner last year and last seen finishing a close-up third in the July Cup at Newmarket, Ralph Beckett's charge ticks plenty of boxes and is expected to prove tough to beat. Isaac Shelby is another dropping down from Group 1 company, though, and he can put up a good fight getting 6lb from the selection following his fourth to Paddington in the St James's Palace Stakes. Criterion Stakes winner Audience adds further spice to the race.
KINROSS escapes a penalty for his Group 1 wins last time and should be a tough nut to crack under Frankie Dettori. Greenham-winner Isaac Shelby might be helped by the return to 7f and is second choice ahead of Audience, who had Pogo behind him when landing a Newmarket Group 3 last month.
Kinross holds strong claims but there are plausible alternatives at bigger odds, most notably ISAAC SHELBY and Indestructible.

1st (9) (16/1 -14%) Quickthorn |
16/1(-14%) | (9) Quickthorn 16/1, Front-runner who was a 14-length winner of Lonsdale Cup at York last summer. That venue has brought out the best in him again this year, fourth in the Yorkshire Cup before resuming winning ways in 1¾m listed race in June. Smart front-runner but record suggests he's vulnerable back at the top level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (4.5/1 +25%) Emily Dickinson |
4.5/1(+25%) | (11) Emily Dickinson 4.5/1, Smart filly. Creditable 4½ lengths fourth of 12 to Courage Mon Ami in Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2½m, good to firm) and successful in 1¾m Curragh Cup since. Moore prefers her to Broome. Likely to go well. Ballydoyle filly; has form figures of 4111 on soft/heavy; respected granted ideal ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3/1 +10%) Coltrane |
3/1(+10%) | (2) Coltrane 3/1, Made a winning reappearance in the Sagaro at Ascot (2m) and better than ever when ¾-length second of 12 to Courage Mon Ami in Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2½m, good to firm) since. Looks sure to give another good account. Close second to Courage Mon Ami when favourite for the Ascot Gold Cup; major contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (10/1 -18%) Eldar Eldarov |
10/1(-18%) | (4) Eldar Eldarov 10/1, Last year's St Leger winner. Ran very well when failing by only a ½ length to concede 5 lb to Giavellotto in the Yorkshire Cup on his return but not at his best when 10 lengths seventh to Courage Mon Ami in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. Bounce back is needed. Disappointing in the Gold Cup but generally progressive otherwise; still of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (14/1 +22%) Giavellotto |
14/1(+22%) | (6) Giavellotto 14/1, In receipt of 5 lb when proving ½ length too strong for Eldar Eldarov (Broome back in third) in the Yorkshire Cup at York (1¾m) in May. A bit more will be needed now stepping back up in trip. Won the Yorkshire Cup when last seen; open to further progress; appealing type. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (2/1 +20%) Courage Mon Ami |
2/1(+20%) | (3) Courage Mon Ami 2/1, Produced a remarkable performance for one so inexperienced when making it 4-4 in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2½m, good to firm) in June by ¾ length from the reopposing Coltrane. Could be capable of even better and can confirm his superiority over Andrew Balding's charge. Gold Cup win took his record to 4-4; improving fast and should have lots more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 +11%) Broome |
16/1(+11%) | (1) Broome 16/1, Resumed winning ways in 15-runner Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan (2m) in March. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 6 in Yorkshire Cup at York (1¾m) next time and failed to stay 2½m when well behind some of these in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. Moore on stablemate Emily Dickinson. Won the Dubai Gold Cup but subsequent form puts him down the pecking order here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (25/1 -14%) Tashkhan |
25/1(-14%) | (10) Tashkhan 25/1, Winless since 2021 but he's posted solid efforts to make the frame at listed/Group 3 level this term. A place is probably the best he can hope for here. Often performs respectably but he's well exposed; stiff task in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (11/1 +8%) Lone Eagle |
11/1(+8%) | (7) Lone Eagle 11/1, Irish Derby runner-up in 2021. His career has been a little disappointing since but he was second in a 1¾m Chester Group 3 for his new yard in May and it's likely that 2½m stretched his stamina in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. Should be fine at 2m. Non-stayer (and shaped better than bare result) over 2m4f in Gold Cup; 2-3 at Goodwood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (66/1 -32%) Ocean Wind |
66/1(-32%) | (8) Ocean Wind 66/1, Placed in Group 3 company in spring 2021. Shaped as if retaining plenty of ability when third in 2m Sandown listed race on last month's return from an absence but surely biting off more than he can chew at this level. Signs of retaining ability at Sandown on return from long absence; this is harder. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (200/1 -100%) Enemy |
200/1(-100%) | (5) Enemy 200/1, Smart gelding but ran poorly in the Henry II at Sandown when last seen in May and likely to find a few too strong even if back to his very best. Faces a tough task on second Goodwood Cup attempt (down the field last year). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
COURAGE MON AMI maintained his unbeaten record when taking a massive step forward from a handicap success here to land the Gold Cup. That was only his fourth career start and, with the prospect of more improvement to come, it would be no surprise to see the son of Frankel prove too strong for the opposition. Coltrane gave the selection plenty to think about at Royal Ascot and arrives at the peak of his powers, while any rain will suit the fourth from that contest Emily Dickinson.
COURAGE MON AMI has the potential to be one of the best stayers of recent years after winning the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot on only his fourth career start. He had Coltrane and Emily Dickinson behind in second and fourth on that occasion and can confirm his superiority over that pair and stretch his unbeaten record to 5.
Gold Cup winner COURAGE MON AMI (nap) promises to dominate the staying scene for a long time. Coltrane is feared most.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (10/1 +60%) Choisya |
10/1(+60%) | (7) Choisya 10/1, AW novice winner in January who has steadily gone the right way since, opening her account in handicaps at Haydock (1m) in June. Raced closer to the pace than ideal in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and she's not out of things on balance. Form dipped in the Sandringham; slow ground would be an unknown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (5/1 +38%) Novus |
5/1(+38%) | (10) Novus 5/1, Progressive filly who doubled career tally over 7f here in May and has emerged with plenty of credit in defeat both starts since, short of room late on but keeping on for second at Sandown (7f) 24 days ago. Present mark looks workable and she's respected. Would be particularly interesting granted soft ground (2-2 on that surface). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (5/1 +9%) Rowayeh |
5/1(+9%) | (12) Rowayeh 5/1, Dubawi filly who opened her account in a Beverley maiden (8.5f) in May and duly progressed again to land 6-runner Sandown handicap (1m) a month later. Beat a subsequent listed winner then and she's respected from 5 lb higher for all her draw in 18 makes things tricky. Nicely bred filly who has won her last two races; progressing well and has strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (14/1 +0%) Royal Dress |
14/1(+0%) | (11) Royal Dress 14/1, Largely campaigned as a sprinter but she found some improvement for the step up to 7f when running out a comfortable winner at Haydock 10 days ago, by 3 lengths from Lady Mojito. This understandably tougher but she's a likeable type and fancied to go well again. Suited by step up to 7f last time; interesting upped further in distance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (16) (12/1 +52%) She's Hot |
12/1(+52%) | (16) She's Hot 12/1, Dual winner as a juvenile who bettered first 2 starts of this campaign when second to subsequent Royal Ascot scorer Burdett Road in handicap at Newbury (10f) 55 days ago. Undergone wind surgery since and she's one to note from handy draw in first-time cheekpieces. Latest effort came behind a subsequent Royal Ascot winner; each-way hopes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (10/1 +0%) Back See Daa |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Back See Daa 10/1, Steadily progressive filly who ran out a ready winner of a Newbury novice (1m) in June. Similar form when midfield in listed Coral Distaff at Sandown subsequently but the assessor has taken no chances with her opening mark. Ties in with Bridestones on Sandown Listed running; may do better still. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (66/1 +0%) Youngest |
66/1(+0%) | (14) Youngest 66/1, Won a Leicester novice (7f) on debut last summer but has failed to match that level in trio of starts since, looking a hard ride when well-beaten in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot in June. Hood reached for now. Has totally failed to build on debut win; hood needs to make a difference. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (18) (14/1 +13%) Rajindri |
14/1(+13%) | (18) Rajindri 14/1, Fairly useful filly who finished placed first 4 starts and off the mark in workmanlike fashion in 8-runner Yarmouth maiden (7f) 2 weeks ago. Opening mark looks a workable one and no surprise to see her make an impact. Consistent filly whose form figures read 23221; solid claims on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (33/1 -65%) Belhaven |
33/1(-65%) | (1) Belhaven 33/1, Won 3 times in 2022 and left her reappearance effort well behind to go in again at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in May. Not beaten at all far in Kensington Palace at the Royal Meeting on penultimate start and likely did too much up with the pace back at that venue 17 days ago. Form dipped on latest outing and current mark leaves her in a tough spot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (19) (16/1 +20%) Lady Mojito |
16/1(+20%) | (19) Lady Mojito 16/1, Built on debut promise to land a Redcar novice (7f) back in October. Bettered first 2 starts of the present campaign when second behind Royal Dress in handicap at Haydock (7f, soft) 10 days ago and she's an each-way player from a handy draw. No match for Royal Dress last time; this extra furlong needs to help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (4/1 +27%) Stormy Sea |
4/1(+27%) | (6) Stormy Sea 4/1, Promise when second on debut at Kempton in November and, following wind op, showed improved form to run out a ready winner on return at Haydock (1m) in April. Rather underwhelming when sixth of 8 at Listed level a month later but she remains with potential moving into handicaps. Possibilities. Impressive on reappearance; disappointing last time but likely still has more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (16/1 +11%) Zouzanna |
16/1(+11%) | (15) Zouzanna 16/1, Promise when runner-up in pair of back-end novice events last term and recorded smooth success on return at Haydock (1m) in May. Handicap debut effort at Yarmouth 32 days ago was a shade disappointing but it remains early days with her. Still unexposed but latest effort doesn't augur well for her prospects in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (3) (14/1 -40%) Espressoo |
14/1(-40%) | (3) Espressoo 14/1, Matched pick of her 3-y-o form to make winning reappearance at Ayr (7.2f) in May and produced her best effort yet when second in Pontefract listed event 3 weeks ago, aided by a good front-running ride. Back up in the weights now but not discounted from handy draw. Good second in Pontefract Listed event last time; possibilities back in a handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (14/1 -40%) Good Gracious |
14/1(-40%) | (9) Good Gracious 14/1, 7f nursery winner at 2 yrs who stepped up markedly on first 2 starts this term when registering a comfortable success in first-time blinkers at Ascot (1m) last month. Hit with an 8 lb hike for that and another with a less-than-ideal draw to overcome. Took well to blinkers at Ascot last month; shortlisted in the retained headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (25/1 -25%) Floating Spirit |
25/1(-25%) | (13) Floating Spirit 25/1, Kempton novice winner on debut in January and defied a penalty in good style at Lingfield (1m) a month later. Seemed unsuited by soft ground when well held in Newmarket listed event (10f) in May and she remains the type to do better back on better ground. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut. Two AW wins preceded a heavy defeat on turf debut; cheekpieces now fitted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (20) (33/1 -18%) Hi Clare |
33/1(-18%) | (20) Hi Clare 33/1, Built on reappearance run under well-judged ride to score at Pontefract (1m) 3 starts back and found only one on a roll too good at Bath next start. Not so well served by switch to patient tactics back at first-named venue latest but this more demanding in any case up in class. Disappointing on latest Class 5 run; something to prove upped two grades. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (17) (22/1 -38%) Peace Of Mine |
22/1(-38%) | (17) Peace Of Mine 22/1, Resumed progress to make a winning return at Nottingham 910.2f, heavy) in April and left a lesser display at Ascot behind when close-up fourth of 5 in handicap at Windsor (1m) 31 days ago. Eased 1 lb ahead of this but more needed. Free-going front-runner who looks vulnerable on first attempt in a big field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (2) (33/1 +0%) System |
33/1(+0%) | (2) System 33/1, Listed scorer at 2 yrs who capitalised on an easing mark when successful at Doncaster (1m) in August of last year. However, absent since finishing last of 14 in Sky Bet Mile at York later that month and this rates a tough enough ask on return. Fifth in this race last year; lacks recent match practice (absent for 347 days). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
In a wide-open heat, only a tentative vote can go to GOOD GRACIOUS. The daughter of Kingman took a significant step forward when fitted with first-time blinkers, winning in good style at Ascot 18 days ago, and a subsequent 8lb rise might not halt further progress. The hat-trick seeking Rowayeh appeals as a likely player from 5lb higher than her handicap debut success at Sandown, while Bridestones and Royal Dress can also figure. Back See Daa and Novus are just two others to consider.
STORMY SEA proved a little disappointing in a York listed race when last seen in May but the manner of her Haydock victory previously is well worth remembering and, from a handy draw, she could well be up to bouncing back for the yard that took this race 12 months ago. The upwardly mobile Rowayeh rates a big threat in pursuit of the hat-trick for all her draw in 18 makes things tricky. Rajindri, Royal Dress and Novus complete the shortlist.
The vote goes to RAJINDRI, with Rowayeh second choice. Plenty of the others also have possibilities in a wide-open handicap.

1st (11) (9/1 +10%) Executive Decision |
9/1(+10%) | (11) Executive Decision 9/1, Juvenile winner for Jessica Harrington (sold 82,000 gns) who has acquitted herself well in a couple of competitive handicaps for new connections this summer, latest when fifth of 16 at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Warrants respect. Two fair runs in hot handicaps for new yard; down in class and taking on her own sex now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5.5/1 +54%) Sophia's Starlight |
5.5/1(+54%) | (6) Sophia's Starlight 5.5/1, Below best at Newmarket latest but has already won 4 times (at up to 7.2f) this season and remains feasibly treated. Front-runner; making good progress but beaten off a lower mark 11 days; conditions fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/1 +0%) Funny Story |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Funny Story 6/1, Below best in listed company latest but had created a good impression when winning Nottingham handicap (6.1f) previously and remains on a workable mark. Ready win at Nottingham in June; drop to 5f not ideal latest; slow ground a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (20/1 -25%) Silent Words |
20/1(-25%) | (8) Silent Words 20/1, Won sole start as a juvenile and acquitted herself well in first 2 outings this term, making the frame in York listed race on penultimate outing. Disappointed latest, however, and bit to prove stepped up in trip on handicap debut. Came up short in Listed company the last twice; hopes pinned on a sixth furlong helping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (18/1 +0%) Granary Queen |
18/1(+0%) | (13) Granary Queen 18/1, Consistent sort who turned in a rare poor effort at Brighton last time. Better expected here but isn't the easiest to win with these days. Capable off this mark but failed to fire last time and others look safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (10/1 -25%) Candle Of Hope |
10/1(-25%) | (4) Candle Of Hope 10/1, Fairly useful filly who shaped very well when fifth in Sandringham at Royal Ascot in June, faring best of those ridden prominently. Drop back in trip may suit (strong traveller) and remains with potential. Solid effort at Royal Ascot (1m); drops to 6f for first time since her debut; yard in form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (10/1 +0%) Crazy Luck |
10/1(+0%) | (9) Crazy Luck 10/1, Won twice at this sort of trip last summer and returned to form when close second at Windsor in May. Couldn't back that up at York since but is below her last winning mark and could be a player. Nightmare passage in this race last year; good 2nd on penultimate start; below par latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (12/1 -20%) Bonny Angel |
12/1(-20%) | (3) Bonny Angel 12/1, Dual winner as a 2-yo who ran about as well as could be expected when sixth of 16 in listed race at Bath (5f) on return in April. However, below that level at Newmarket next time and may prefer quicker ground. 2 nursery wins last year; promise on return but less good on soft latest; now tongue-tied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (18/1 -29%) Mottisfont |
18/1(-29%) | (7) Mottisfont 18/1, Run with credit in recent starts, latest when fourth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 11 days ago. Ought to go well again, although suspicion remains a greater test of stamina would suit. Highly tried since debut win; didn't look a natural sprinter dropped to 6f last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (33/1 -65%) Glorious Angel |
33/1(-65%) | (5) Glorious Angel 33/1, Completed hat-trick in January, winning at Southwell (twice) and Newcastle. Run respectably in defeat more recently but others look better treated. Looks high in the weights and the drop back to 6f isn't enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (16/1 +0%) Minnetonka |
16/1(+0%) | (10) Minnetonka 16/1, Made encouraging return in Lingfield listed race in March but below that level since, including on Newmarket handicap bow last month. Others more appealing. Useful form in defeat since her debut win but she'll need a career best to take this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (40/1 -150%) Elvenia |
40/1(-150%) | (12) Elvenia 40/1, Lightly-raced filly who shaped better than previously this term when fourth of 6 in handicap (15/2) at Haydock (7f, soft) 10 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Drop back in trip looks a good move but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Possible to excuse her last two runs and she's unexposed back sprinting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (2.25/1 +0%) Kitai |
2.25/1(+0%) | (2) Kitai 2.25/1, Took her form up a notch in recent starts, scoring at Carlisle (6.9f) and Pontefract (6f, good to soft). 7 lb higher now but another bold bid looks on the cards. Easy winner of her last two starts; up in weights but dangerous to ignore in current form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
This could go the way of the hat-trick seeking KITAI, who kept on well to score by two and a half lengths over this distance at Pontefract last month. A 7lb rise may not be enough to hold her back here and she is taken to get the better of the grade-dropping Funny Story, who wasn't disgraced in Listed company at Ayr in June. Candle Of Hope also warrants consideration following a creditable run at Royal Ascot last time out.
KITAI arrives in a rich vein of form, and with conditions to suit is fancied to complete her hat-trick in the finale. The drop back to sprinting could suit Candle of Hope and she is feared most, whilst Executive Decision can also make her presence felt.
The thriving KITAI looks to have been found a good opportunity to complete her hat-trick. Candle Of Hope is next best.

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.
