1st (3)  (9/1 -157%)Silent Flame |
9/1(-157%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Silent Flame 9/1, Has reacted well to blinkers, snaping a losing run at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in July and good placed efforts on her 2 outings since. Should go well again. Done well since blinkers were added; not shone at Goodwood in the past but still respected. |
|||
2nd (5)  (14/1 -115%)Lahina Bay |
14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lahina Bay 14/1, Latest win at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in July. Good third of 15 in handicap there 3 weeks later but below her best when fourth of 13 at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Well suited by fast turf; comes here in decent order and she's likely to go well again. |
|||
3rd (8)  (11/1 -120%)Papabella |
11/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Papabella 11/1, Off the mark in 6f Ffos Las handicap 24 days ago. Did that quite cosily from a next-time-out winner so a 3 lb higher mark may not be beyond her. Off the mark at the 10th attempt when landing a Ffos Las handicap last month; more needed. |
|||
4th (4)  (50/1 -25%)Unico |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Unico 50/1, Won a 6f Yarmouth handicap in April for Marco Botting but struggled in her 3 outings for this yard. Below that winning mark but not obviously in good enough form to take advantage. Yet to shine for new yard, including when behind Silent Flame at Newbury. |
|||
5th (6)  (50/1 -525%)Media Guest |
50/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Media Guest 50/1, Won 13-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm, 9/2) last month but not in anything like the same form when last of 5 at Salisbury since. Gained an overdue win at Bath last month; less good at Salisbury since; can bounce back. |
|||
6th (7)  (33/1 -313%)Bated Breeze |
33/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bated Breeze 33/1, Did too much too soon in a first-time visor at Epsom (7f, good) last month. Now back down at 6f in a change of headgear (cheekpieces). 0-9 but the odd run that hints he's up to winning a similar race; interesting back at 6f. |
|||
7th (2)  (14/1 +0%)Cooperation |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cooperation 14/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Potentially well handicapped but need to see more. Struggling for form this year, most recently well held at Epsom last week; vulnerable. |
|||
8th (9)  (16/1 -191%)Calafrio |
16/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Calafrio 16/1, 2/1, career best when winning 11-runner classified event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, comfortably. More on her plate back in a handicap but wouldn't be a surprise to see this 3-y-o step up again. Easy win in a classified event at Thirsk two weeks ago; should go well back in a handicap. |
|||
9th (1)  (100/1 -3233%)Symbol Of Hope |
100/1(-3233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Symbol Of Hope 100/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm, 4/1) 21 days ago, responding well. Should remain competitive up 6 lb. Well suited by up to 5.5f at a stiff track; in good form but this test perhaps not ideal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CALAFRIO won a classified event with plenty in hand at Thirsk a fortnight ago and the Phillip Kirby-trained filly could play another leading role if she handles this return to handicap company. Silent Flame has some C&D experience and can also go well given that she is on a good mark in comparison to her peak form. Lahina Bay and Media Guest complete the shortlist.
Rod Millman's SILENT FLAME has had a good spell since blinkered and gets the nod. Papabella saw off a next-time-out winner when off the mark at Ffos Las at the end of July and is second choice ahead of northern raider Calafrio.
Silent Flame looks set to go well again but BATED BREEZE has hinted at better on a couple of occasions and he gets the nod.

1st (7)  (7/2 +61%)Sea Emily Run |
7/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sea Emily Run 7/2, Half-sister to several winners and encouragement when fourth on C&D debut in June. Backward step at Newmarket since but perhaps softish ground didn't suit her. Promising debut over C&D in June; less good at Newmarket since; faster ground today. |
|||
2nd (1)  (25/1 -1329%)Mollie Foster |
25/1(-1329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mollie Foster 25/1, Fairly useful form when winning a 6f Haydock novice last month. Not up to a listed race at Deauville (5f, good) since but much better can be expected with her sights lowered. Came up short in Listed company 3 weeks ago; earlier efforts set the standard. |
|||
3rd (2)  (5/2 +0%)Queen All Star |
5/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Queen All Star 5/2, 7/2, won 7-runner novice at Windsor (6f, firm, 7/2) on debut 20 days ago, pushed out. Open to progress and can make it 2-2. Cheveley Park entry; looked good at Windsor on debut (6f) and open to plenty of progress. |
|||
4th (3)  (100/1 -1329%)Sweet Sonata |
100/1(-1329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sweet Sonata 100/1, Left her first 2 runs behind when taking a 6f Newbury novice (good to firm) 59 days ago, just holding on. More will be needed under a penalty here. Improved with each run, beating a subsequent winner at Newbury in June; can do better. |
|||
5th (6)  (200/1 -400%)Kensington Hope |
200/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kensington Hope 200/1, Well held in 2 runs over 5f. Outsider. Down the field in two 5f runs this summer; new trip needs to spark a major transformation. |
|||
6th (5)  (100/1 -1718%)Empowered Queen |
100/1(-1718%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Empowered Queen 100/1, 10/3, sixth of 10 in novice at Lingfield (5f, AW) on debut 10 days ago, left poorly placed after a slow start. Her starting price that day suggests she is thought capable of better. Poor draw & too green to do herself justice at Lingfield (5f, AW) ten days ago; do better. |
|||
7th (8)  (100/1 -525%)Virtue Temperance |
100/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Virtue Temperance 100/1, Modest form both starts and looks more one for nurseries after this. Some promise in two 6f runs but others have achieved considerably more. |
|||
8th (4)  (66/1 -560%)Daisy Dukes |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Daisy Dukes 66/1, Foaled March 1. 58,000 gns Havana Grey filly. Sister to winner up to 6f Rocking Ends and half-sister to 11f-1¾m winner Copper Scape. The yard can ready one so this newcomer would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for her. 58,0000gns sister to useful sprinter Rocking Ends; betting instructive on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Things didn't pan out as hoped for MOLLIE FOSTER when she contested a Listed race at Deauville three weeks ago but she can get back on track with her sights lowered here. The daughter of Acclamation, who bettered her commendable second over this C&D on debut by landing a novice at Haydock last month, has plenty of scope for progression and tops the shortlist. Fellow previous winners Queen All Star and Sweet Sonata look the pick of the opposition.
There was plenty to like about the way QUEEN ALL STAR went about things at Windsor and she's preferred to fellow previous winner Mollie Foster. Empowered Queen ran green when seemingly fancied for her recent Lingfield debut and it wouldn't be a surprise to see her prove a different proposition now.
Mollie Foster and Sweet Sonata are respected but QUEEN ALL STAR looks open to the greater improvement.

1st (6)  (9/1 -13%)Ziggy's Phoenix |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ziggy's Phoenix 9/1, Caused a 66/1 shock at Newmarket (1m) in May and posted a couple of sound efforts in defeat subsequently, including when second at Sandown in June. Easy to excuse her latest run at Ascot (caught behind weakening rival) and she's respected having back down towards last winning mark, On a feasible mark and not fully exposed at 1m; had excuses last time; can bounce back. |
|||
2nd (8)  (11/2 +31%)Faro Di Notte |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Faro Di Notte 11/2, Has ran to fair level on both starts since joining this yard, most recently when second of 8 in novice at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Step up to 1m should suit and she's not discounted on handicap debut. Potential improver upped to 1m and switched to handicaps. |
|||
3rd (1)  (14/1 -133%)Crystal Casque |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Crystal Casque 14/1, Signed off last season by winning at Lingfield and turned in her best effort for a while from a reduced mark when runner-up in a 6-runner handicap at Sandown (8f, good to firm) 23 days ago. The only older horse in contest here but merits place claims again. Good second at Sandown last month but up against it conceding weight and age to her rivals. |
|||
4th (4)  (33/1 -450%)Mallavelly |
33/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mallavelly 33/1, Made the frame in a couple of Newmarket maidens and a Goodwood handicap in the spring but proved a disappointing favourite when down the field in a Newbury novice last month. Mark remains workable if able to bounce back. Below par last time but earlier efforts give her sound claims now returning to 1m. |
|||
5th (3)  (8/1 -33%)So Logical |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) So Logical 8/1, Won 7f maiden and handicap in the spring but her improvement appears to have levelled off. First-time cheekpieces need to help her to resume her progression. Two 7f wins in the spring; progress stalled the last twice; new trip/headgear could help. |
|||
6th (5)  (66/1 -560%)Dramatic Effect |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dramatic Effect 66/1, Narrowly opened account in a novice event at Goodwood (8f) in June but just a respectable fifth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (8f) since and others look better treated. C&D win in June but only fifth in a Newbury fillies' handicap last month; needs a PB. |
|||
7th (2)  (25/1 -456%)Pasha |
25/1(-456%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pasha 25/1, Made a decent start for this yard when fifth of 17 in hot maiden at Newbury on return in April and showed the benefit of her experience when winning a 9-runner maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 7/2) 10 days ago. Makes handicap debut under a penalty but she's open to progress. Had shown promise before recent front-running win at Nottingham; more needed under penalty. |
|||
8th (7)  (100/1 -3900%)Imitate |
100/1(-3900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Imitate 100/1, Left debut form well behind when sixth in a Bath maiden in May and took another step forward when filling the same spot at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Very much the type to improve now handicapping. Bred to be smart and looks a likely improver now handicapping; betting can guide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
PASHA emerged as the ready winer of a fillies maiden at Nottingham last week and, turned out under a 6lb penalty, the daughter of Advertise is an obvious candidate to follow up. Imitate represents powerful connections and is an appealing alternative to the selection on her handicap debut. Dramatic Effect, a C&D winner in June, is another notable contender given this represents a drop in class for her, while Crystal Casque is also considered.
A competitive fillies' event, with the Sir Michael Stoute-trained handicap newcomer IMITATE given the nod having progressed with each qualifying run. Crystal Casque is thrice the age of her opposition but proved herself back on a fair mark when second at Sandown last time and she's also shortlisted, with another handicap newcomer Pasha also respected.
Imitate and Faro Di Notte can improve but MALLAVELLY can bounce back from her low-key effort last month.

1st (4)  (5/2 +17%)Crystal Flyer |
5/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Crystal Flyer 5/2, Course winner (9.9f) in May who found further improvement when good second of 9 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good) 42 days ago, running on. Warrants respect. Unexposed 3yo who was good second when upped to 1m4f at Ascot latest; respected. |
|||
2nd (1)  (8/1 -78%)Entrancement |
8/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Entrancement 8/1, Course winner last term and almost added to that success when narrow second over C&D in May. Far from disgraced at Newbury since and is not out of things. Went very close over C&D on penultimate run and has claims if she can recapture that form. |
|||
3rd (3)  (9/1 -80%)Therapist |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Therapist 9/1, Won 10f handicap for Andrew Balding last summer and has run well over hurdles for new yard this term, winning 2 of 3 her 3 starts. Fairly treated, back on Flat. and could be a player. Two wins over hurdles in May and she needs a close look on this return to the Flat. |
|||
4th (2)  (80/1 -789%)Dubai Crystal |
80/1(-789%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dubai Crystal 80/1, Off the mark in Redcar novice for Karl Burke in April 2023 and good efforts in handicaps after, but yet to make an impact in a couple of starts for new connections this year, albeit she was out of her depth at Newmarker last time. Tough task in Listed race latest but she still has something to prove back in a handicap. |
|||
5th (6)  (100/1 -3900%)Kate The Cook |
100/1(-3900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kate The Cook 100/1, Upped her game when taking 5-runner maiden at Ffos Las (12f, good to firm) 24 days ago and likely has more to offer on handicap debut here. Landed the odds at Ffos Las and she's open to more progress now switched to a handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KATE THE COOK appeared to relish the step up to this trip when scoring gamely at Ffos Las last month, pulling clear with the runner-up. Now making her handicap debut off what looks a workable mark, she gets the vote to land the spoils for the in-form Ralph Beckett team. Crystal Flyer found only one rival too good when second over 1m4f at Ascot when last seen and she should be on the premises once more nudged up just 1lb. D Day Arvalenreeva is also a key player.
D DAY ARVALENREEVA has come close on both her starts this term and remains fairly treated. She makes plenty of appeal. Kate The Cook and Crystal Flyer look the likeliest dangers.
Preference is for KATE THE COOK (nap) who is on the upgrade and she can continue to progress now handicapping.

7/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kiss And Run 7/2, Off mark for the year at Windsor in June but not been in quite same form since, albeit she was 5 lb out of the weights here last time. Others more persuasive, This more suitable than last time and she was successful in her last Class 5 run; chance. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/2 +61%)Cluedo |
7/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cluedo 7/2, Dual scorer last term but is yet to make an impact in a couple of starts this season. Drops in grade here, however, and is now just 3 lb above her last winning mark. Had wind operation. Progressive sprinter at 3; not fired this year but yard going better now and had a wind op. |
|||
3rd (1)  (66/1 -3200%)Miss Anya |
66/1(-3200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Miss Anya 66/1, Dual winner earlier this year who returned to form, in first-time blinkers, when good second of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Likely contender. Both wins on AW but effective on fast turf and comes here on the back of a career-best. |
|||
4th (6)  (22/1 -780%)Four Adaay |
22/1(-780%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Four Adaay 22/1, C&D winner who posted a season's best when second of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 15 days ago. Remains fairly treated and holds solid claims. Running creditably without being at best this summer; more minor money may be best hope. |
|||
5th (3)  (9/1 -50%)Merrimack |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Merrimack 9/1, Front runner much improved for new yard in visor, easily making all in Brighton/Yarmouth handicaps last month. Returned to form when third at Epsom latest but others look better treated. Two front-running wins last month; handicapper may have caught up for now. |
|||
6th (7)  (40/1 -567%)The Defiant |
40/1(-567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Defiant 40/1, Been given a chance by the assessor and has run creditably in defeat the last twice, latest when second of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Enters calculations. Has run well over C&D in the past and comes here on the back of two placed runs; e-w shout. |
|||
7th (4)  (100/1 -525%)Mary Of Modena |
100/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mary Of Modena 100/1, Made an encouraging return at Windsor in April but rather gone backwards in a couple of starts since and makes limited appeal. Close fourth in this race last year but she's finished out the back in her last two runs. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Richard Hughes has his string in fine form at present and his MISS ANYA edges preference. She was sporting blinkers for the first time (retained) when finishing runner-up over this trip at Newmarket recently and, nudged up 1lb, another bold showing should be forthcoming. Cluedo catches the eye off just 3lb higher than her last winning mark and, on her first start since wind surgery, she is respected most of the remainder. Four Adaay completes the shortlist on the back of a solid runner-up effort at Yarmouth earlier this month.
Preference is for MISS ANYA, who got back on track at Newmarket earlier this month and remains feasibly treated. Four Adaay and The Defiant should also go well in an open-looking contest.
A wind op since she was last in action could see CLUEDO bounce back to form. Kiss And Run is feared most.

1st (6)  (4/1 +20%)Pride Of Nepal |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pride Of Nepal 4/1, Now over 2 years without a win but produced another creditable effort in defeat under this rider when third at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago. Drop in trip isn't a concern and he holds place claims with cheekpieces reapplied. Consistent efforts under Sarah Bowen since joining this stable; won over C&D in 2022. |
|||
2nd (7)  (20/1 -186%)Platinum Prince |
20/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Platinum Prince 20/1, Never been the most reliable conveyance and he couldn't justify his prominent position in the market when last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) when last seen in May. Others make more appeal. Absent since a dismal effort when favourite for AW event in May; opposed. |
|||
3rd (1)  (11/4 -10%)Beautiful Crown |
11/4(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Beautiful Crown 11/4, Has thrived since joining Jack Jones, winning 3 of her 5 starts, including an 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 17 days ago with a bit in hand. Big shout from 4 lb higher mark. Chelmsford win took his record in amateur events to 2-3 and record for current yard to 3-5. |
|||
4th (2)  (11/1 +31%)Twin Earth |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Twin Earth 11/1, Raced in bumpers initially and left Flat debut form behind when fourth of 13 in maiden at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) last month. Soundly held both starts since, including on handicap bow last time, so others are preferred. 0-3 in bumpers and 0-4 on Flat; comfortably held last time, having pulled hard. |
|||
5th (5)  (10/1 -54%)Meadram |
10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Meadram 10/1, Runner-up in a selling event at Chelmsford City on his penultimate outing last season and ended year with a respectable third at Wolverhampton. Best watched on return from 9-month break. Turf record is far from solid; absent since last November; best watched. |
|||
6th (4)  (7/2 +50%)Bletchley Storm |
7/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bletchley Storm 7/2, Has scored 3 times this season, latterly when making a successful start for this yard at Brighton in July. Too free upped in trip when sixth of 8 in handicap at same course (11.9f, good) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. Possibilities back down in trip, for last year's winning trainer/jockey combination. |
|||
7th (3)  (11/2 -10%)Shalfa |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shalfa 11/2, Front-runner notched her second win of the year at Brighton in June and ran at least as well in defeat when second in an 11-runner handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Claims again from unchanged mark. Back in good form the last twice; should remain competitive granted another easy lead. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Beautiful Crown must enter calculations upped 4lb for a recent victory over 1m2f at Chelmsford, but his tendency to break slowly tempers enthusiasm somewhat. SHALFA impressed when making all over 1m2f at Brighton on her penultimate start and, after shaping well again when runner-up at Windsor last month, she gets the vote to land the spoils. This step back in trip can help Bletchley Storm be seen to better effect and she completes the shortlist.
BEAUTIFUL CROWN has been in a rich vein of form since joining the Jack Jones yard and can defy to top weight to notch his fourth win for his new trainer. Pride of Nepal shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop in trip and also merits respect, with Sea of Charm completing the shortlist.
The vote goes to PRIDE OF NEPAL, who holds solid claims on recent form and is a C&D winner. Beautiful Crown is feared most.
Ths is the racecard key.
