---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (9/1 +36%) Royal Rhyme |
9/1(+36%) | (4) Royal Rhyme 9/1, Looked to be going the right way when ready winner of 10f Newmarket handicap (soft) in May but only eleventh of 14 at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 75 days ago. No surprise to see him get back on the up here after a break. Both his wins were on soft going, latterly in six-runner 1m2f handicap at Newmarket in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (14/1 -56%) Have Secret |
14/1(-56%) | (8) Have Secret 14/1, Improved with each start last year, winning 2 nurseries, and has continued on the up this term too, very good fourth of 15 in Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot (10f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Enters calculations nudged up 1 lb. Competitive in all his six handicaps, with both this season's in hot races over 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (12/1 +0%) Alsakib |
12/1(+0%) | (12) Alsakib 12/1, Improving Kingman colt who arrives on a hat-trick after novice wins at around 1m at Chester and Windsor this summer. This is tougher but he's much respected with the prospect of more to come now handicapping up in trip. 7.6f and 1m novice winner; 1m2f is worth a go; should improve as he gets more professional. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (8/1 +33%) Coverdale |
8/1(+33%) | (9) Coverdale 8/1, Highly progressive type who improved another chunk when completing his four-timer in 7-runner handicap at Ripon (10f, good) 24 days ago. Well in the mix with better still to come. 4-4 in 1m2f handicaps this term on wide range of ground, last time after waiting for room. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (17) (11/1 +39%) Crack Shot |
11/1(+39%) | (17) Crack Shot 11/1, Son of Kingman who got off the mark in 1m Nottingham maiden in June. Lost little caste in defeat conceding 7 lb to another promising sort at Hamilton (1m) since and can do better still now handicapping up in trip. Could have a good opening mark and easy to envisage improvement with this step up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (15) (8/1 +20%) Garden Route |
8/1(+20%) | (15) Garden Route 8/1, Gelded/had wind op/off 8 months before easily landing the odds in 11-runner minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 38 days ago. This son of Galileo can take another step forward on his handicap debut as his stamina is drawn out more. Interesting. This handicap debut demands more but he dominated a 1m novice last time; likely to stay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (25/1 -108%) Silver Sword |
25/1(-108%) | (6) Silver Sword 25/1, Refused to race on first 2 starts but hard to knock since then, landing Southwell maiden in April and handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 39 days ago. Has more to offer now back up in trip. One for the shortlist. More in the tank over 1m last time; return to 1m2f on testing ground is bit of a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 -14%) Theoryofeverything |
16/1(-14%) | (7) Theoryofeverything 16/1, Created a taking impression when making a winning debut in 7f Doncaster novice (heavy) in April. Yet to build on that though and came in only third of 4 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 34 days ago. Up in trip with cheekpieces on now and more needed. Needs major improvement with headgear enlisted over new trip but a brother won up to 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (11/1 +31%) Baltic Voyage |
11/1(+31%) | (14) Baltic Voyage 11/1, Got back on the up with his breakthrough win in 8-runner handicap at Ripon (9.8f, soft) 12 days ago. Up 6 lb but he's firmly in the picture once more. Authoritative win at Ripon (dropped back to 1m2f, first run on soft) latest; back up 6lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (33/1 -65%) Killybegs Warrior |
33/1(-65%) | (1) Killybegs Warrior 33/1, Got off the mark for 2023 in 12-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) 20 days ago by ¾ length from Obelix. Up 5 lb but remains unexposed at this trip so merits serious consideration for yard with excellent record in this event. Won valuable 1m2f Newmarket race (good to firm) in July from Obelix; acts on good to soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (2/1 +20%) Perfuse |
2/1(+20%) | (5) Perfuse 2/1, Progressive Lope De Vegas colt who impressed with his 2 novice wins before shaping very well when fifth of 19 in King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot in June, travelling best long way and faring best of those ridden close to the pace. Big shout off an unchanged mark. Favourite at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and did well in 5th given how close he was to strong pace. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (66/1 -65%) Finn's Charm |
66/1(-65%) | (2) Finn's Charm 66/1, Resumed with 1m win in Musselburgh handicap and also posted a good second in the German 2000 Guineas in May. Well below par when twenty fifth of 29 in Britannia at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 42 days ago but the sort to bounce back stepping up in trip. Won on good to soft in April; tailed off in 1m Britannia at Royal Ascot on good to firm. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (16) (50/1 -52%) Goldsborough |
50/1(-52%) | (16) Goldsborough 50/1, Course winner in May but he failed to build on it when only fifth of 8 in minor event at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 45 days ago. Makes his handicap debut and others look better treated at these weights. 3l maiden win here (1m, heavy) in May is easily best of three efforts; 1m2f on good latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (11/1 -38%) Promoter |
11/1(-38%) | (10) Promoter 11/1, Ready winner of 7f Chepstow novice last September and has taken his form up a level this season, very good fifth of 13 in 10f handicap at Epsom in June. May do better still so needs considering. Promising late gains from an impossible position when fifth of 13 at Epsom (upped to 1m2f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (18) (20/1 +29%) Entrancement |
20/1(+29%) | (18) Entrancement 20/1, Much improved with C&D win (in the mud) in May and backed it up off an 11 lb higher mark when second of 7 at Salisbury (9.9f) 19 days ago. More is needed from 2 lb out of the handicap but can't be dismissed. 2lb out of the handicap but has proved herself if the ground is testing and over C&D. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
PERFUSE was sent off favourite for the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot on the back of two impressive displays at Nottingham and Doncaster and, although he only finished fifth on that occasion, this drop in trip could see him get back to winning ways. The unexposed pair Garden Route and Alsakib come into this with similar profiles having won novice events on their latest starts. Both are now having their first taste in handicap company, so they warrant serious consideration.
Lots of potential on show in this ultra competitive handicap but Sir Michael Stoute's improving PERFUSE is hard to side against after his eye-catching fifth in Royal Ascot's King George V Handicap and has winning form in the mud too. William Haggas' handicap-debutant Garden Route appeals greatly as an improver and heads the list of dangers, although Crack Shot is weighted to have a big say too despite being 1 lb out of the handicap. Coverdale and Killybegs Warrior complete the shortlist.
Perfuse could dominate the betting. There is stacks of interest elsewhere, though, including from CRACK SHOT and Promoter.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (11) (1.38/1 +8%) Vandeek |
1.38/1(+8%) | (11) Vandeek 1.38/1, 625,000 gns breeze-up who did very well to justify cramped odds on his 6f Nottingham debut (soft ground) as he very slowly away and showed obvious inexperience before finishing well. Has the potential for significant improvement. Evens, overcame a very tardy start to justify favouritism at Nottingham; good prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (25/1 -178%) Ballymount Boy |
25/1(-178%) | (3) Ballymount Boy 25/1, Has made a promising start, building on his AW debut second when going one better in maiden company at Hamilton (6f, good) 3 weeks later. Should be more to come but it's fair to say this is a steep rise in class. Comfortably beat his 3 rivals at Hamilton (good to soft) last time; this is much harder. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (7.5/1 +58%) Toca Madera |
7.5/1(+58%) | (9) Toca Madera 7.5/1, Down the field in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot but showed he can be competitive in Group company when 2 lengths third to the reopposing Jasour in July Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. His trainer is no stranger to success in this race. Needs to show he can back up the form of his 40-1 third in July Stakes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (22/1 -120%) Hala Emaraaty |
22/1(-120%) | (6) Hala Emaraaty 22/1, Won first 2 outings but his limitations have been exposed at listed level since. First outing beyond 5f this afternoon. Likely outsider. Listed defeats expose his limitations to an extent; first go beyond 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/1 +13%) Bobsleigh |
7/1(+13%) | (4) Bobsleigh 7/1, Won first 2 starts, latterly the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, good to firm). Improved again when sixth of 20 in the Coventry at Royal Ascot and better than he could show in the Super Sprint at Newbury recently. Will still need to raise his game to go close here. Has useful 6f form and the return to this trip looks a plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (2/1 +33%) Sketch |
2/1(+33%) | (8) Sketch 2/1, Looked very useful when scoring by 5 lengths on his recent 6f Newbury debut. Fast tracked to pattern level on the back of that. Should have more to offer. Impressive debut at Newbury 12 days ago, looking a useful prospect; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (16/1 +27%) Nazalan |
16/1(+27%) | (7) Nazalan 16/1, Made all in 5f Sandown novice on second start but beaten 6¼ lengths by Kylian in a listed race back there since. Was a bit better than the result on that occasion but still rates an outsider now stepping up to 6f for the first time. Stiff task upped to 6f; well down this pack judged on his 5f form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Expensive breeze-up purchase VANDEEK overcame a sluggish start to justify favouritism on his Nottingham introduction, and the third ran well here earlier in the week. His proven ability on rain-affected ground gets him the nod ahead of Sketch, who couldn't have been more impressive on his Newbury debut. Toca Madera did well to make the frame in the July Stakes, while Asadna has yet to live up to his Ripon demolition job but can't be written off just yet.
With the 2 market leaders dropping out, VANDEEK could be the answer. He has a bit of ground to make up on form, but is open to considerable improvement following a very promising debut success at Nottingham. Sketch was also impressive on his Newbury debut, Watch My Tracker still has potential after getting off the mark at the third attempt last month.
Several withdrawals have weakened the field. The once-raced colts VANDEEK (narrowly preferred) and Sketch bring lots of potential.

1st (5) (7/1 -27%) Desert Hero |
7/1(-27%) | (5) Desert Hero 7/1, Produced a smart performance when winning the traditionally very strong King George (Handicap) at Royal Ascot in June. Won on soft ground as a 2-y-o. Capable of making his presence felt at a higher level. Helped by leaders going too fast in handicap at Royal Ascot but markedly improved form too. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3.5/1 +22%) Chesspiece |
3.5/1(+22%) | (4) Chesspiece 3.5/1, Made a winning handicap debut upped to 1½m at the York Dante meeting. Improved again when third to Gregory in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1¾m) before dropping back to 11f to win the Glasgow Stakes at Hamilton 13 days ago. Unlikely to be far away. Improvement every time; has some of the best form in this field and proven stamina. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/1 +0%) Canberra Legend |
7/1(+0%) | (3) Canberra Legend 7/1, AW debut winner in February. Took the jump up in class in his stride when following up in Feilden Stakes at Newmarket (9f, good to soft) in April. Disappointed in the Dante but straight back on track when fifth in the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot (1¼m, good to firm). Shapes as if he'll stay 1½m. Stuck to his task admirably when fifth in 1m2f Group 3 at Royal Ascot; worth a go at 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 +40%) Artistic Star |
3/1(+40%) | (1) Artistic Star 3/1, Won his first 2 starts (both softer than good). Improved again when seventh in the Derby at Epsom and creditable 6 lengths third in the King Edward at Royal Ascot since. That underlines he needs a bit more to come out on top at pattern level but it's still early days after only 4 starts. 11l seventh in the Derby and always-prominent 3rd of six in King Edward VII at Royal Ascot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (28/1 -40%) Burdett Road |
28/1(-40%) | (2) Burdett Road 28/1, Big improver in handicaps since stepped back up to 1¼m, winning easily at Newbury and following up in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot. More will be needed here and the trip and likely ground are unknowns. Won 1m2f handicap at Royal Ascot; this demands a fair bit more and 1m4f not sure to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (1.75/1 -7%) Espionage |
1.75/1(-7%) | (6) Espionage 1.75/1, Went down only narrowly in a Group 1 in France (heavy ground) on his final 2-y-o start and made a winning return to action in 1½m Roscommon listed race (good to soft) last month. Looks capable of better again and the one to beat. Head 2nd in French Group 1 (1m, heavy) in October; satisfactory 11.7f Listed win on return. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
This is a higher calibre of race than the Listed contest won by CHESSPIECE at Hamilton, but his previous third in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot was a solid statement of intent and he is a highly appealing candidate. The son of Nathaniel has already proven that stamina is his forte and, with ground conditions likely to suit, a big run is expected. Espionage commands respect as Aidan O'Brien's sole representative, while Artistic Star has posted high-class form in defeat and is dangerous to underestimate.
Deep ground won't be an issue for ESPIONAGE after going close in a French Group 1 in the mud on his final 2-y-o start. He showed he's trained on with a listed success on his Roscommon reappearance and can provide Aidan O'Brien with a third win in this since 2015. Chesspiece, Desert Hero and Canberra Legend can give the selection most to do in that order.
None are comfortably dismissed but slight preference is for CANBERRA LEGEND and Espionage is feared most ahead of Chesspiece.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (9/1 +36%) Al Husn |
9/1(+36%) | (2) Al Husn 9/1, Smart filly who made it 6 wins in her last 7 starts when fending off a below-par Nashwa by ½ length in the Group 3 Hoppings at Newcastle (1¼m, AW) in June. Well worth her place at the highest level. Turned over below-form Nashwa last time; work to do on ratings but steadily progressive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7/1 +36%) Above The Curve |
7/1(+36%) | (1) Above The Curve 7/1, Group 1 winner at 3 and added another pattern success to her CV when seeing off last weekend's Prix Rothschild winner Mqse de Sevigne in Saint-Cloud Group 2 in May. Creditable 3¼ lengths third to Via Sistina in Pretty Polly at the Curragh (1¼m, good) since. Handles testing ground. Should run well. Dictated the pace for French Group 2 win in May; looks set for another prominent finish. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2.75/1 -22%) Nashwa |
2.75/1(-22%) | (3) Nashwa 2.75/1, Won the Frenck Oaks and this race last summer. Back to form with a bang when an impressive 5-length winner of the Falmouth at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Acts on soft. Bold show looks assured. Won this last year; better than ever for 1m Group 1 win three weeks ago; sets the standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (0.91/1 +0%) Blue Rose Cen |
0.91/1(+0%) | (4) Blue Rose Cen 0.91/1, Won the French 1000 Guineas in May and well suited by the step up to 1¼m when a 4-length winner of the French Oaks at Chantilly in June. The return to softer ground won't be an issue. Leading claims. The top filly or mare in France this season, with Classic wins over 1m and 10.5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (25/1 -14%) Caernarfon |
25/1(-14%) | (5) Caernarfon 25/1, Reached the frame in the 1000 Guineas and the Oaks on her first 2 outings this year. Respectable 3 lengths sixth of 16 to Waipiro in Hampton Court at Royal Ascot (1¼m) last time. Likeable filly who will be fine on the ground but looks sure to find a few too strong again. Best when 2l third in the Oaks at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) where led briefly over 2f out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 +0%) Never Ending Story |
33/1(+0%) | (6) Never Ending Story 33/1, Smart filly who chased home Blue Rose Cen in French Oaks at Chantilly but hasn't reproduced that form in the Pretty Polly and Falmouth since. Even a return to her best won't be good enough. Supporting roles in six Group 1s, including when 4l second to Blue Rose Cen at Chantilly. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Reigning champion Nashwa warmed up for the defence of her crown by bouncing back to form in the Falmouth, justifying the decision to supplement her and proving she has the speed for a mile. In BLUE ROSE CEN, though, she comes up against an exceptional French filly who backed up her cosy Poule d'Essai des Pouliches success when trouncing Never Ending Story to complete a Classic double in the Prix de Diane. Al Husn claimed the scalp of a probably below-par Nashwa at Newcastle but still warrants consideration, while Above The Curve will like the ground.
A much-anticipated clash between the last 2 French Oaks winners BLUE ROSE CEN and Nashwa. The former was having her first attempt at 1¼m when bolting up at Chantilly in June and can emulate Nashwa who followed up in this race last year. Nashwa looked better than ever when easily winning the Falmouth at Newmarket last month and is clear second pick ahead of Above The Curve.
The French 3yo star BLUE ROSE CEN may well be able to keep last year's winner Nashwa at bay.

1st (3) (14/1 -40%) Mission To Moon |
14/1(-40%) | (3) Mission To Moon 14/1, Half-brother to several winners but held back by inexperience on debut. Improved from that run when second at Kempton last month and ran filled that same position at Epsom (7f, good to firm) since. Makes handicap bow. Runner-up on last two starts; improvement needed but in good hands to continue to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (28/1 -155%) Gamraan |
28/1(-155%) | (6) Gamraan 28/1, Much better for debut when third at Doncaster in June but failed to confirm that form back sprinting at Hamilton (6f, good) just under a fortnight ago. Step back up in trip a positive for this handicap debut. Close third at Doncaster on sole attempt at 7f and he's firmly in calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (1.62/1 +35%) Gray's Inn |
1.62/1(+35%) | (12) Gray's Inn 1.62/1, Getting better with each run, adding to her tally when landing the odds on nursery bow at Chester last month. Not beaten far when fourth in listed company at Sandown (7f, soft) last week, and she's potentially very well treated back in a nursery. Listed fourth last Thursday and back in a handicap before new 17lb higher mark kicks in. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (11/1 -10%) Phone Tag |
11/1(-10%) | (11) Phone Tag 11/1, Havana Grey colt who has shown fair form in a trio of starts so far. Blinkers go on for his handicap bow (also gelded) and he could have more to offer with Hollie Doyle taking over in the plate. Improvement needed on nursery debut but he's been gelded and wears first-time blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 +42%) Bits And Bobs |
7/1(+42%) | (2) Bits And Bobs 7/1, Made a winning debut at Leicester in June and ran well conceding weight all round when runner-up at Chester 11 days later. Flopped at Carlisle since and now upped in trip for his handicap debut with Murphy back on board. Plenty of promise on first two starts but disappointing at Carlisle last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (8/1 +11%) Lincoln Legacy |
8/1(+11%) | (7) Lincoln Legacy 8/1, Footstepsinthesand filly who made a winning debut at Kempton in May and ran to a similar level when third at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 3 weeks later. Step up in trip in her favour now sent handicapping and is 1 of 2 for this yard. Solid efforts on both starts and pedigree provides optimism she has more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 -33%) Balon D'Or |
16/1(-33%) | (1) Balon D'Or 16/1, Bred to be sharp and certainly knew what was required when landing novice at Musselburgh on debut. Best effort since when runner-up in class 2 event at Epsom on Oaks Day but has found the company too hot in recent starts. Could make more impact now handicapping. Has failed to shine in Group 3 and Listed races the last twice and isn't progressing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (22/1 +12%) Marroof |
22/1(+12%) | (14) Marroof 22/1, Finished third on his first couple of starts but failed to progress as expected for the longer trip when down the field at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 9 weeks ago. Gelded ahead of this handicap debut and is 1 of 2 for this yard. Faded over 7f last time but gelded since and there's stamina on the dam's side. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (16/1 -14%) Count Palatine |
16/1(-14%) | (8) Count Palatine 16/1, Related to plenty of winners and promising start when fifth in novice company at Windsor. Matched rather than advanced her form on both subsequent outings, so will need to take a step forward now handicapping. Well-bred nursery newcomer; could benefit from the step back up in trip; possible improver. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (16/1 -14%) Conde |
16/1(-14%) | (13) Conde 16/1, Took another step forward when third at Chester (6.1f, soft) just under 3 weeks ago, headed entering straight having made most. Could have more to offer making the switch to handicap company. Has improved with each of his three runs and he's not ruled out on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (12/1 +14%) Doddie's Impact |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Doddie's Impact 12/1, Made winning start in 16-runner Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, heavy) in April but not in same form having switched to Clive Cox when down the field at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Upped further in trip and could get back on track sent handicapping. Won the Brocklesby; disappointing on sole run since but slow ground may aid his cause. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (12/1 -20%) Macanudo |
12/1(-20%) | (9) Macanudo 12/1, Posted fair form all 4 starts thus far and runner-up on last 3 outings, again showing a tendency to lug left at Chelmsford (6f, 5/2) 9 days ago. Blinkers applied to help him concentrate and he's one to look out for on handicap bow. Back up in trip for nursery debut but pedigree provides hope he'll be okay; blinkers added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (28/1 +0%) Sarakana |
28/1(+0%) | (5) Sarakana 28/1, Harzand filly who overcame inexperience to land a 6f Haydock novice in May, albeit able to race on the stand rail from a handy draw. Found the Albany way too much on her second outing and sights are significantly lowered. Flopped at Royal Ascot but could be a contender if tapping back into promise of debut win. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
As is typically par for the course with these nurseries, many would appear to line up with solid claims. With that in mind, only a tentative vote can go to SARAKANA. Having belied odds of 40-1 to strike on her debut, the daughter of Harzand was pitched immediately into Group company. She came up well short in the Albany, but an opening mark of 79 could underestimate her. Balon D'or is interesting despite the burden of top weight, while others to note include Phone Tag, Lincoln Legacy and Gray's Inn, who is a whopping 17lb well-in compared to her revised rating.
The market will reveal plenty with lots starting out in handicaps, but GRAY'S INN wasn't beaten far when fourth in listed company at Sandown last week and, potentially very well treated back in a nursery, Jack Channon's filly is fancied to notch a third career success. Bits And Bobs flopped when sent off a short-priced favourite at Carlisle last month but can resume his progress reunited with Oisin Murphy, while Macanudo and Conde are another couple to consider.
Last week's Listed fourth GRAY'S INN (nap) runs before her new 17lb higher mark kicks in and she can take full advantage.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (3.5/1 +22%) Novus |
3.5/1(+22%) | (7) Novus 3.5/1, Progressive filly who doubled career tally over 7f here in May and has emerged with plenty of credit in defeat all starts since, second of 18 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 2 days ago. More exposed than some but clearly in great heart. 7f course winner who was second of 18 over C&D on Tuesday; could be bang there once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (28/1 +15%) Wildfell |
28/1(+15%) | (10) Wildfell 28/1, Highly progressive since joining this stable, completing the 4-timer with a degree of comfort in 11-runner handicap at Doncaster in June. Set a stiff task but excelled himself despite finishing last of 6 in listed company at Newmarket. Assessor reacted but hard to know his limit. May be flattered by bare Listed form and handicapper has reacted, but he's not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (10/1 +0%) Man Of Eden |
10/1(+0%) | (9) Man Of Eden 10/1, Irish import who landed the odds on debut for this yard in a Newcastle maiden (1m) in January and has been shaping up well in handicaps of late, again conceding first run when a staying-on third at Haydock last month. Cheekpieces replace blinkers and big-field scenario will suit. Just one win from his 12 starts but running really well of late and he's one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (16/1 +60%) John Chard Vc |
16/1(+60%) | (12) John Chard Vc 16/1, Fair 7f juvenile winner but hasn't yet hit the ground running this year, albeit 10.3f was too much of a teat at York. Others look better treated. The drop back in trip can help but others have less to prove on this season's evidence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (10/1 -33%) Metal Merchant |
10/1(-33%) | (2) Metal Merchant 10/1, Useful performer who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fourteenth of 29 in in Britannia at Royal Ascot. Again better than the result back at that venue 3 weeks ago so he's not taken lightly. Some solid 1m handicap form this year (various ground) and Ryan Moore rides for first time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (15) (18/1 -80%) Spioradalta |
18/1(-80%) | (15) Spioradalta 18/1, Gambled on in re-fitted cheekpieces and confidence wasn't misplaced when adding to his tally at Chester 3 weeks ago. Up 2 lb in a deeper race but he's clearly in excellent heart. Two soft-ground wins this season and each-way claims if getting his conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (8.5/1 +23%) Skysail |
8.5/1(+23%) | (3) Skysail 8.5/1, Showed much improved form in first-time blinkers when making a successful handicap debut at Goodwood (1m) on his reappearance. Proved a let-down at Salisbury but back on track in a change of headgear when runner-up at Ascot 3 weeks ago. Big field may help him settle. C&D winner who was a good second at Ascot last month and is respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (14/1 -75%) Sea Eagle |
14/1(-75%) | (6) Sea Eagle 14/1, Continued theme of race-by-race progress when landing 7-runner maiden at Chelmsford in October. Off since (gelded) but he's in top hands and is very likely to make a better 3-y-o. First run of the year but possesses plenty of potential for top yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (11/1 +8%) Glenfinnan |
11/1(+8%) | (1) Glenfinnan 11/1, Harry Angel colt who has improved with each start, signing off 2-y-o campaign with a maiden win at Yarmouth and offered plenty to work on when fourth fitted with a hood on last month's reappearance. More to come. Reappeared with promising 4th and this lightly raced type could build on that performance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (10/1 +70%) Lunatick |
10/1(+70%) | (14) Lunatick 10/1, Yet to win a race but stuck to his task pretty well having raced freely when runner-up in maiden company at Bath. Eased 3 lb back in a handicap but big career best needed. 0-6 but has run just once on slow turf and he's well handicapped on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (18) (22/1 +12%) Merry Minister |
22/1(+12%) | (18) Merry Minister 22/1, Continued theme of race-by-race progress when landing 9-runner novice event at Thirsk (7f, soft) in June. Heavy defeat on handicap debut since and this mark looks too high. Disappointing on handicap debut at Ripon (1m2f), even taking a stamina excuse into account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (22/1 +33%) Ottoman Prince |
22/1(+33%) | (5) Ottoman Prince 22/1, Sprung an 80/1 surprise on debut at Chelmsford (7f) in October and better form when runner-up under a penalty over the same C&D a month later. Workmanlike when landing the odds over 6f on reappearance and a shade disappointing switched to turf/handicaps at Pontefract. Two AW wins from first three starts but soundly beaten on turf/handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (20) (22/1 -38%) Dream Of Mischief |
22/1(-38%) | (20) Dream Of Mischief 22/1, Pulled hard a few times but more settled and advanced his form when landing 14-runner handicap at Windsor 3 weeks ago despite conceding fist run. Unexposed over 1m. Has C&D form, and an improving profile, and could be a contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (16) (33/1 -50%) Naval Academy |
33/1(-50%) | (16) Naval Academy 33/1, Fairly useful performer, further improvement to win 10-runner maiden at Angers last time by length from Roi de l'Air, soon leading and setting sound pace. Has left H-F. Devin but joined a successful British yard. Not obviously well treated for British debut but there's potential in his pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (19) (14/1 +13%) Cancan In The Rain |
14/1(+13%) | (19) Cancan In The Rain 14/1, Uncomplicated ride who was just about better than ever when winning 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m) last month, sticking to task. Reliable type but this is a much deeper race. Won at Newmarket in June; up in grade today but could continue to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (17) (40/1 -43%) Monopolise |
40/1(-43%) | (17) Monopolise 40/1, Ended 2022 on the up winning nurseries at Newmarket and Kempton and has returned in good heart, opening his account for the season in 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (1m) last month. Seemed undone by revised mark in a better race at Ascot. Won at Yarmouth last month but soundly beaten since and needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (11) (5.5/1 +39%) Roarin' Success |
5.5/1(+39%) | (11) Roarin' Success 5.5/1, Improved with each of her 3 starts as a juvenile, getting the better of a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in November. Picked up where she left off on handicap debut at Ascot 3 weeks ago and bold hat-trick bid looks on the cards. Reappeared with a win in Ascot handicap and this unexposed filly could have more to offer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
NOVUS appears right at home at Goodwood, winning here in May and then going very close on the first day of this meeting. She is two from two on soft ground and is preferred to Roarin' Success, who is on a hat-trick after ending her juvenile campaign with a Wolverhampton triumph and picking up where she left off at Ascot. The returning Sea Eagle must enter calculations on his first run in a handicap, while others to note include Cancan In The Rain, Merry Minister and Alpha Crucis.
A big-field handicap but the eye has to be drawn to ISLE OF JURA, who still looks at least one step ahead of the assessor following facile wins at Newbury at Newmarket last month. With the ground forecast to deteriorate, handling the conditions will be key, which brings Roarin' Success into the argument. Sea Eagle is the potential big improver in the race.
The withdrawal of Isle Of Jura may leave the door open for LUNATICK to get off the mark. Man Of Eden is second choice.

1.75/1(+36%) | (10) Ornellaia 1.75/1, 260,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder filly. Dam useful 7f/1m (at 2 yrs) winner who stayed 1½m. 9/2 and green, third of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago. Likely to improve and big shout.

Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1m Primo Bacio and useful 7f/1m winner Smile of Love. 11/1, second of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. May well do better. Promising second in fillies' maiden at the Newmarket July festival; leading player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (40/1 -122%) Eleftheria |
40/1(-122%) | (3) Eleftheria 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Better effort when sixth of 12 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good) 13 days ago. Not beaten far last time but needs another step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (20/1 +60%) Inbetweenus |

18/1(-200%) | (12) Shadan Joy 18/1, Similar form both starts, 4/7 when second of 4 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 37 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Remains with potential. Solid second in a pair of maidens; one of the main form contenders. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Get Jiggy With It made a short-priced favourite with previous experience pull out all the stops at Newmarket and a maiden looks a formality. However, the form of ORNELLAIA's debut third there a couple of days earlier was given a massive boost when the winner ran away with the Princess Margaret at Ascot last weekend, and Dominic Ffrench Davis' filly gets the nod. Classical Song was a 420,000-euro breeze-up purchase and has Ryan Moore on top, while Imperial Express is a half-sister to Ebro River so is another newcomer to note.
ORNELLAIA is well entered up and she duly produced a promising first effort when third at Newmarket. That form has taken a significant boost since so she gets the vote over Get Jiggy With It, who emerged best of the newcomers when second at Newmarket. Shadan Joy is worth another chance to build on her debut, while Classical Song makes the most appeal of the newcomers given how much she fetched at the Breeze-Ups.
The top form players are two fillies who showed promise at Newmarket's July festival, namely ORNELLAIA and Get Jiggy With It.

1st (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Jm Jungle |
4.5/1(+25%) | (3) Jm Jungle 4.5/1, Made the frame on his first 5 starts this season and gained reward for his consistency when winning at Haydock (5f) last time, leading final 100 yds. Likely to continue in good form and he can be thereabouts once again. Improving at 5f; good effort at the weights in June (good to soft); ready winner since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/1 +50%) Lakota Blue |
10/1(+50%) | (6) Lakota Blue 10/1, Left his reappearance run behind when winning at Ripon (6f) in April, but hasn't found any further improvement since. Having a first attempt at 5f, faced a stiff task when down the field in listed race at Sandown when last seen in June. Others look stronger. Two good 6f efforts this year; faded over 5f in Listed latest; needs more back in handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (8/1 +43%) Another Baar |
8/1(+43%) | (8) Another Baar 8/1, Well suited by the drop back to 5f when landing a third success of the campaign at Beverley in June. Ran well when third at Ripon and Newmarket on his next 2 starts, before possibly finding the race coming too soon at Hamilton last time. Could bounce back with visor on first time. Three wins this year, at 6f and 5f; others look better treated now; first-time visored. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (16/1 -14%) Desert Games |
16/1(-14%) | (9) Desert Games 16/1, Maiden who has shown improved form fitted with a visor on his last 3 starts, again finishing runner-up when just failing at Beverley (5f) on his latest outing. Can give his running once more, with blinkers applied on first run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Went very close in all 3 handicaps for R Fahey; up 3lb since latest; debut for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (28/1 -40%) The Thames Boatman |
28/1(-40%) | (13) The Thames Boatman 28/1, Made a winning return at Wolverhampton (5f) in February and, barring a blip in a small-field at Yarmouth in June, has been running well since. He's a free-going type, though, and failed to settle any better in first-time hood at Newmarket last time. Blinkers now reached for. Has won at 6f and 5f on AW; capable but below best on last 2 starts; different headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (4.5/1 +0%) Democracy Dilemma |
4.5/1(+0%) | (2) Democracy Dilemma 4.5/1, Has improved in handicaps this year with 3 victories (all at 5f), proving better than ever when making all at Chelmsford last month. Versatile with regards to ground (won on testing conditions at Thisk in April) and he could be up to defying an 8 lb rise in the weights. Raced clear back on AW latest (5f); up 8lb but can give it plenty from highest draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (8/1 +0%) Desperate Hero |
8/1(+0%) | (11) Desperate Hero 8/1, With cheekpieces applied, resumed winning ways in good style at Windsor (5f) in June and has continued in form since, producing a career best in defeat when headed in the dying strides at Yarmouth a week ago (Thunder Moor in third). Respected. Progressive at 5f in cheekpieces; due 2lb rise for 2nd at Yarmouth; likely to need better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (8.5/1 -6%) Estate |
8.5/1(-6%) | (12) Estate 8.5/1, Opened account at the eighth attempt in handicap at Salisbury (5f) in May and quickly bounced back from a below-par effort when third at this C&D the following month. Got up close home when resuming winning ways at Windsor a month ago, but will need to find more upped in grade. Won 2 of his 5 handicaps at 5f (both on good to firm); the likely strong pace will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (6.5/1 -95%) Holkham Bay |
6.5/1(-95%) | (10) Holkham Bay 6.5/1, Confirmed debut promise when successful at Lingfield (6f) last summer. After a year off, improved again making his turf debut when second in minor event at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, edged out only on the line. Not taken lightly as he drops in trip for his handicap bow. Front-runs at 6f; won final 2yo start and useful 2nd on return; interesting on drop to 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (7/1 +22%) Thunder Moor |
7/1(+22%) | (4) Thunder Moor 7/1, Fairly useful 5f juvenile winner for Kevin Ryan and stepped up on his seasonal/stable debut when third in handicap at Yarmouth a week ago, refusing to lie down once headed. Could still have more to offer for his current yard so he merits consideration. Good effort against older sprinters last week (5f, good to soft); can improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (14/1 +13%) Rogue Spirit |
14/1(+13%) | (5) Rogue Spirit 14/1, Useful performer at 2 yrs (winning 3 times) but yet to fire so far this season, dropped in grade when 6 lengths sixth of 7 to Democracy Dilemma in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) last time. Application of blinkers needs to spark a return to form. Three 2yo wins at 5f; struggling on turf and AW this year; first-time headgear fitted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
This is fiercely competitive and hardly any can confidently be ruled out. The likes of Rogue Spirit, Desert Games and The Thames Boatman are all open to improvement now they are tried with headgear applied and can do their bit to ensure this is a fast and furious affair - a scenario which will ideally suit DEMOCRACY DILEMMA, a pacey individual who seems to be thriving on being kept busy. Hollie Doyle keeps the partnership intact after guiding him to victory twice already this season and further success is distinctly possible.
DEMOCRACY DILEMMA proved better than ever when recording his third success of the year at Chelmsford last time, winning unchallenged having typically made the running, so he is taken to score again with both of his turf wins coming on ground softer than good. Desperate Hero also arrives in good form and is respected, while the consistent Jm Jungle is another to consider.
This looks likely to be run at a good clip and JM JUNGLE, in such good form of late, can continue on the upgrade.

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.
