---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Adaay In Devon |
4.5/1(+18%) | (1) Adaay In Devon 4.5/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark in 13-runner maiden at Windsor (6f, good, 7/4) 19 days ago, suited by step back up in trip. Ought to be competitive under a penalty. Steadily progressive; gained deserved win at Windsor three weeks ago; should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (2.5/1 +0%) Al Hujaija |
2.5/1(+0%) | (3) Al Hujaija 2.5/1, Left debut form well behind when second of 8 in 6f novice at Newbury in early July. Too free upped in trip at Newmarket since but could get back on track now returning to 6f. Looked a non-stayer over 7f last time; has leading claims on previous 6f form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (5/1 +44%) Tayala |
5/1(+44%) | (6) Tayala 5/1, Showed a bit under a considerate ride when fifth of 8 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 9/1) on debut 44 days ago. Capable of better. Fifth of eight on debut at Newbury and the winner has since followed up; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (66/1 -164%) Invincible Siam |
66/1(-164%) | (4) Invincible Siam 66/1, Not badly bred but didn't show a lot on recent debut at Windsor. Needs to leave that well behind. No great promise when tenth of 12 on debut at Windsor; large step forward required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (2.25/1 -20%) Betties Bay |
2.25/1(-20%) | (2) Betties Bay 2.25/1, ff the mark at third time of asking in 12-runner maiden at Newbury (6f, good) 36 days ago. That form has worked out well, so she has to be taken seriously under a penalty. Newbury win last month has been boosted several times; still unexposed; high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (20/1 -150%) Toosha |
20/1(-150%) | (7) Toosha 20/1, Improved a bit on debut form when second of 9 in minor event at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Will be suited by 6f and may do better still. Close second of nine over 5f at Thirsk; should be suited by this longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (6.5/1 -8%) Ruling Sovereign |
6.5/1(-8%) | (5) Ruling Sovereign 6.5/1, Showed plenty to work on when fourth of 10 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good) on debut 28 days ago, best work finish. Sure to improve. Good late headway into fourth on Windsor debut; could improve a good deal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Al Hujaija pulled too hard at Newmarket last month and failed to get home as a result of that, but should benefit from this drop back in trip. However, the vote goes to RULING SOVEREIGN, who was a promising fourth at Windsor on debut. The George Scott-trained filly was very green on that occasion and looks sure to have benefitted from the experience, while the booking of James Doyle looks another positive sign. Adaay In Devon got off the mark in impressive style earlier this month and is also respected.
BETTIES BAY got off the mark at the third attempt at Newbury last month and, with that form working out well, she's taken to defy a penalty. The step up in trip ought to suit Toosha, while Ruling Sovereign will be more streetwise with her initial outing under her belt and can also figure.
In an open race, the vote goes to BETTIES BAY with Al Hujaija, Adaay In Devon and Ruling Sovereign also high on the list.

Elegant Madame |
(5) (20/1 +20%)20/1(+20%) | (5) Elegant Madame 20/1, 3/1, overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 7f Leicester fillies' novice 2 months ago, the penny only really starting to drop late on. This is a big step up but she's open to improvement. Winning start over 7f on AW in June; that form is ordinary but she is open to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Komat |
(8) (25/1 -25%)25/1(-25%) | (8) Komat 25/1, Made a winning debut at Redcar (5f) in April and highly tried since, not disgraced again in the Princess Margaret at Ascot last time. 7f will suit. Quite useful but has come up short in 6f Group 3s last twice; up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (3) (2.5/1 +69%) Darnation |
2.5/1(+69%) | (3) Darnation 2.5/1, Too Darn Hot filly from the family of Blue Bunting. Better for debut and bolted up faced with softer ground in 7f Thirsk fillies' novice 4 weeks ago, making all and drawing well clear. Can progress again and one to note. Scored by 10l in novice at Thirsk (7f) last month; yet another useful prospect for yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2.75/1 +39%) Carla's Way |
2.75/1(+39%) | (2) Carla's Way 2.75/1, Big-money breeze-up buy who created an excellent impression when readily making all in 6.5f maiden at Doncaster on debut. Did a fair bit wrong in the Albany next time and probably worth another chance back from a wind op and up in trip. Beaten favourite at Royal Ascot after debut win but retains potential; has had wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (14/1 +0%) Hard To Resist |
14/1(+0%) | (7) Hard To Resist 14/1, Much improved from debut when winning 7f Newmarket fillies' novice 3 weeks ago, showing a good attitude to prevail under this rider. Can do better again but this is plenty tougher. Left debut behind when making all over 7f at Newmarket (heavy) latest; more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (3.5/1 +46%) Pretty Crystal |
3.5/1(+46%) | (9) Pretty Crystal 3.5/1, Winning start in 6f Ripon fillies' novice and good efforts in the Albany and Princess Margaret at Ascot since. 7f should suit on breeding and not out of this. Second in 6f Ascot Group 3 latest; 7f should suit; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (3.33/1 +67%) Forever Blue |
3.33/1(+67%) | (6) Forever Blue 3.33/1, 80,000 gns Blue Point filly, stoutly bred but made no mistake in 6f heavy-ground Haydock newcomers' event 3 weeks ago, keeping on well. Sure to progress. Looked useful when winning on 6f Haydock debut (heavy) this month; sure to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (18/1 -13%) Ahlain |
18/1(-13%) | (1) Ahlain 18/1, Bred to stay well and suited by 7f as she was much improved to win Kempton fillies' novice last week in a decent time. She should have even more to offer and the stiffer the test the better in all likelihood. Landed a 7f Kempton novice ten days ago but this requires a jolt of improvement. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
An interesting mix of form versus potential here. Easy Haydock winner FOREVER BLUE looks a serious player and may represent a bit of value. Ralph Beckett's filly quickened clear inside the final furlong on her introduction in the manner of a very promising juvenile and there should be more to come. Elegant Madame, who could be a surprise package at a price after her cosy debut success, and Albany Stakes eighth Carla's Way are others to consider.
PRETTY CRYSTAL fared best of these in the Princess Margaret at Ascot and can go well, as can easy Thirsk-winner Darnation.
Princess Margaret runner-up PRETTY CRYSTAL gets the vote over fellow North Yorkshire raider Darnation.

1st (2) (4.5/1 +63%) Angel Bleu |
4.5/1(+63%) | (2) Angel Bleu 4.5/1, Dual Group 1 winner as a juvenile. First success since when edging ahead late on in 7f Haydock listed race in June. Creditable seventh in Queen Anne at Ascot next time but latest effort there was sub-par. Claims if back to his best. Best effort this year when winning 7f Listed race at Haydock; chance if on a going day. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5.5/1 +61%) Knight |
5.5/1(+61%) | (8) Knight 5.5/1, Made a winning debut in fine style at Yarmouth and stepped forward from that effort when following up in Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury. Only out twice this term and, while back on track in Thoroughbred Stakes over C&D last time, he has something to find. Behind Epictetus and Galeron here last time but lightly raced and could be unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 -20%) Charyn |
4/1(-20%) | (4) Charyn 4/1, Smart colt who excelled himself when hitting the frame in the Irish Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes, both won by Paddington. Better effort since when third in the Sussex Stakes over C&D last time and this represents a drop in grade. Has bumped into Paddington in three Group 1s in 2023; meets nothing of that calibre here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/1 +31%) Holguin |
11/1(+31%) | (7) Holguin 11/1, Career best when winning 10-runner listed race at Chester in July and not disgraced in a race that didn't pan out ideally in Lennox Stakes at this course 25 days ago. Not ruled out. Solid record over 7f this term, fourth in the Lennox here last time; unproven over 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (1.88/1 +37%) Epictetus |
1.88/1(+37%) | (5) Epictetus 1.88/1, Smart sort who put up the sort of performance he'd always promised when landing the Thoroughbred Stakes over C&D last time. Suited by drop back to 1m when winning C&D Group 3; may have more to offer; leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (9/1 -20%) Random Harvest |
9/1(-20%) | (3) Random Harvest 9/1, Progressive last season, culminating in Group 3 victory at Milan, and has shown even better form this term. Had run of the race when landing the Valiant Fillies' Stakes at Ascot last time and this looks tougher. Made all in Ascot Group 3; more to do against males in this higher grade but not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (16/1 -14%) Galeron |
16/1(-14%) | (6) Galeron 16/1, Useful sort who has held his form at a high level this year, third to Epictetus in Thoroughbred Stakes here last time. Unlikely to turn the tables with that rival, however. Only third of seven to Epictetus here last time; needs blinkers to have positive effect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Aldaary boasts some high-class form and, given he has won over a mile, he has to be taken very seriously in his bid to gain a first success at this level. However, CHARYN came out best when the duo finished third and fourth in the Sussex Stakes here 24 days ago and, granted his rock-solid previous efforts, Roger Varian's colt is taken to add to the Group 2 success he gained in France last October. Epictetus won a Group 3 over this C&D earlier in the month and also looks a big player.
ALDAARY hasn't been at his very smart best so far this term but a tactical affair in testing ground in the Sussex Stakes last time wasn't ideal and, down in grade, he's worth a chance to show he retains all of his ability. Thoroughbred Stakes winner Epictetus is an obvious danger and there's a case to be made for Charyn.
The safest option in a tricky race is EPICTETUS, who turned over a warm favourite over C&D last time and looked full value for the win.

1st (6) (2.75/1 +31%) Rhoscolyn |
2.75/1(+31%) | (6) Rhoscolyn 2.75/1, Back to winning ways in 11-runner C&D handicap (2/1) at this course (heavy) 22 days ago. Wasn't in the same form turned out quickly in the Golden Mile next time but remains with possibilities from this sort of mark and is shortlisted. Very reliable on this track; C&D winner this month then hampered 2 days later; thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (2.5/1 +38%) Star Of Orion |
2.5/1(+38%) | (3) Star Of Orion 2.5/1, Ended a 2-year losing run in 7-runner handicap at Newmarket in July and built on that effort with a fine third in the 27-runner International at Ascot a week later. Operating at his best at present and isn't taken lightly. Unraced here; good marker in big 7f handicaps, close 3rd at Ascot latest; can have a say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5.5/1 +15%) Shining Blue |
5.5/1(+15%) | (1) Shining Blue 5.5/1, Produced a smart effort to win a 7f York handicap in May and again shaped relatively well when second in a 1m listed event, not particularly convincing with his stamina for the longer trip. Underperformed in Bunbury Cup last time but prior efforts would put him in the mix. Raced away with 7f York handicap (good to firm); good to soft may not have suited latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7/1 +18%) Urban Sprawl |
7/1(+18%) | (8) Urban Sprawl 7/1, Took form up another notch when winning over C&D in May before posting a fine third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot. Hasn't beaten a rival on either outing since, though, and has bit to prove now. In the picture on earlier C&D win and 3rd in 1m Britannia at Ascot; well below best since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (3/1 +40%) Saxon King |
3/1(+40%) | (9) Saxon King 3/1, Made a winning return at Newmarket in May before doubling his tally for the season at Chester the following month. Raced too freely when fifth of 12 in handicap (3/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) 35 days ago but would hold frame claims if back to his best. Progressive earlier at 1m and about 7f but he wasn't the same horse at Newmarket last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (50/1 +0%) Sluzewiec |
50/1(+0%) | (7) Sluzewiec 50/1, Ex-French colt (formerly trained by Jean-Cloude Rouget) offered little when starting out for new connections behind Shining Blue at York in May. More required to get involved. Multiple winner in France but never going the gallop on debut for new yard in May (7f). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
STAR OF ORION was a very good third in the International Stakes over 7f at Ascot last time and he appears the one to beat. Ralph Beckett's charge was beaten just three-quarters of a length in third on that occasion and he can enjoy a change of fortunes, despite being raised 2lb in the ratings for that effort. Ramazan is feared most after his one-length success over 7f at Chepstow off 3lb lower earlier this month, while Rhoscolyn should also be taken seriously.
RHOSCOLYN posted several good efforts from higher marks last season, and having confirmed himself as back in form by winning here earlier in the month, he's fancied to gain a second win of the campaign, with a quick turnaround a plausible excuse for an underwhelming effort last time. Star of Orion has found his groove again lately, though the highest draw presents a minor concern, whilst the progressive 3yo Ramazan and Thursday's York winner Ropey Guest also merit plenty of respect.
Rhoscolyn is primed to go well but BLESS HIM has good claims on his best 2022 form and a Bunbury Cup fourth in July.

1st (3) (16/1 -14%) Sweet Reward |
16/1(-14%) | (3) Sweet Reward 16/1, Course winner who when taking 7-runner handicap over this trip at Epsom in July. Only seventh over this trip at Sandown since, though. Course winner at 1m1f; made all at Epsom last month (1m2f); well held at Sandown since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (1.75/1 +7%) Graignes |
1.75/1(+7%) | (4) Graignes 1.75/1, Back in his best form for a while, winning over 11f at Kempton in June and making all with plenty to spare at Sandown on Sunday. Escapes a penalty as that was an apprentice race. Likely to make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Rated 110 at peak; revived since latest wind op and tongue tied; no penalty for latest win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (11/1 +21%) Lawn Ranger |
11/1(+21%) | (10) Lawn Ranger 11/1, Front runner who landed another Windsor win 19 days ago but has a bit more on his plate off effectively 4 lb higher (1 lb out of weights) in this more competitive race. Course winner at 1m1f; two 1m2f wins at Windsor this year; up in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (8/1 +6%) Mr Professor |
8/1(+6%) | (1) Mr Professor 8/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 9/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (9f, good to soft) 12 days ago. All 3 wins as 2yo; down weights and in good form for new yard, close 2nd latest (1m1f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (1.5/1 +8%) Lucky Fifteen |
1.5/1(+8%) | (5) Lucky Fifteen 1.5/1, Completed a hat-trick in recent months (including C&D) and a further 7 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him with his stable in flying form. Progressive at 1m2f; needs a strong pace but still has scope for better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (40/1 -21%) Sir Laurence Graff |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Sir Laurence Graff 40/1, Won an AW novice last autumn on his seventh and final outing for the Gosdens. Made a sound start for his new yard when fifth of 7 in a handicap at Newmarket last month but he will need improvement to defy a mark in the 80s. 1m2f AW winner as 2yo; creditable fifth on debut for new yard; fitting a hood could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (8/1 +50%) Silastar |
8/1(+50%) | (9) Silastar 8/1, Back-to-back handicap winner over this trip at Leicester and Sandown during the spring. Bit below that form when sixth at Kempton (11f) in June, hanging right. Given a bit of time since then. Course form at 1m1f; never better than when winning latest two turf starts (soft/good). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LUCKY FIFTEEN has already been a terrific servant for connections this season and, despite a further 7lb rise, the four-timer looks very much on the cards on the back of another comfortable success at Ffos Las last month. A winner over C&D on his penultimate outing, the son of Lope De Vega is preferred to narrow Hamilton second Mr Professor and Graignes, who is out again quickly after scoring at Sandown on Sunday.
LUCKY FIFTEEN is improving at a rate of knots and could still be ahead of his mark so he's narrowly preferred to the revitalised Graignes, who is unpenalised for his ready Sandown success last weekend. Crack Shot may prove best of the remainder.
Lucky Fifteen still has potential but GRAIGNES has recaptured form with a vengeance and goes unpenalised for his recent Sandown win

1st (5) (3.5/1 +42%) Lihou |
3.5/1(+42%) | (5) Lihou 3.5/1, 4 wins from 12 runs this year. Not seen to best effect when 4½ lengths fifth of 12 to Lord Riddiford in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 20/1) 25 days ago, shuffled back 2f out. No surprise to see a better showing. Hampered at crucial stage when fifth to Lord Riddiford over C&D; unlikely to be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7.5/1 +6%) Angle Land |
7.5/1(+6%) | (6) Angle Land 7.5/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win over C&D in May. 18/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago, not seen to best effect raced alone on near side. Still, he does need to step up on recent efforts if he's to figure here. Latest win came over C&D off this mark; not at best recently but there have been excuses. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (5/1 +17%) Four Adaay |
5/1(+17%) | (9) Four Adaay 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newmarket in June. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Newbury (5.2f, good) 7 days ago. Mark is steadily easing again but others appeal a little more here. Consistent; should give her running again but others appeal as likelier winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (12/1 +40%) Hierarchy |
12/1(+40%) | (4) Hierarchy 12/1, Useful 6f winner for Hugo Palmer but yet to reach same heights in handful of starts for present stable, always behind when eighth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f) 4 weeks ago. Blinkers refitted now. Never dangerous this term; tumbling in the weights but excuses are wearing thin. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/1 -25%) Faustus |
5/1(-25%) | (7) Faustus 5/1, Latest win at Brighton in August. 3/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago, no extra late on. This tougher back up in grade but he's clearly thriving at present. Running well at present and no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (2.5/1 +0%) Lord Riddiford |
2.5/1(+0%) | (1) Lord Riddiford 2.5/1, 4-time C&D winner who was revived for a return to this venue when landing 12-runner C&D handicap 25 days ago, forging clear final 1f. That race has worked out well and he's a live player again from 7 lb higher mark. Gained fourth C&D win at the Glorious meeting last month; up 7lb but the one to beat again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (8.5/1 +61%) A Pint Of Bear |
8.5/1(+61%) | (8) A Pint Of Bear 8.5/1, Enjoyed a productive 2021 campaign but he missed whole of last year and understandably looked rusty on belated return when last of 11 at Thirsk (5f) in May. Absent again since and this should reveal more. Last of 11 on return from lengthy absence in May; can only be watched after another break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
This could go the way of recent distance runner-up FAUSTUS. He gets to compete off the same mark and, given Connor Planas knocks 3lb off the five-year-old's back, he is fancied to make a return to winning ways. Glamorous Breeze is not without a chance following a decent third at Ascot last month, while Lord Riddiford, a four-time C&D winner, and Angle Land are others to consider.
LORD RIDDIFORD has often saved his best for this track, forging clear when bagging a fourth C&D success at the start of the month. That race has thrown up winners subsequently and he can go well again from a 7 lb higher mark. Glamorous Breeze and Lihou are a couple of others to consider.
All eyes will be on LORD RIDDIFORD (nap) who has a near-flawless record here and can follow up an easy win at the Glorious meeting.

1st (4) (4/1 +0%) Zealandia |
4/1(+0%) | (4) Zealandia 4/1, 7/2, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good) 56 days ago, running on. On a fair mark and appears to be coming to the boil now, so big player. More to prove on softer than good; unraced beyond 1m4f but it may now be worth a go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.8/1 +28%) Nathanael Greene |
1.8/1(+28%) | (1) Nathanael Greene 1.8/1, Useful handicapper who has contested his fair share of competitive events and shaped as if ahead of his mark when third at Haydock last time, going for home too soon. Makes most appeal. His two runs on a sound surface this term (on good to firm here and on good) are a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5.5/1 +50%) Prince Alex |
5.5/1(+50%) | (3) Prince Alex 5.5/1, Useful at best for Tom Dascombe and, while latest effort at Haydock was disappointing, would come as no surprise if he bounces back starting out for a shrewd stable. Showed something on penultimate start and is now another 3lb lower; has left Tom Dascombe. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (16/1 -33%) Dancing Harry |
16/1(-33%) | (6) Dancing Harry 16/1, Below form when last seen in this sphere and just modest efforts over hurdles since. Hard to make a solid case for back from 6 months off. Won last June off today's mark; four ordinary shows over hurdles; off since February. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (3.5/1 +36%) He's A Latchico |
3.5/1(+36%) | (2) He's A Latchico 3.5/1, Two hurdle wins at the start of the summer and better than ever when comfortably completing a hat-trick back on the Flat at Sandown (1¾m) last month. Found it tough in heavy ground over C&D 3 weeks ago but should return to form. Won well at Sandown July (1m6f, good); well beaten off this 9lb higher mark on heavy here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (7/1 -27%) Ravens Ark |
7/1(-27%) | (8) Ravens Ark 7/1, On an appealing mark and put up two creditable efforts prior to a laboured one at Newmarket last time. Return to this track should suit, so he's hard to rule out. No win since May 2022; twice 2nd before tailed off latest; cheekpieces could boost him. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
There wasn't much to separate Ravens Ark (second) and Vaynor (third) over C&D in June and both are likely to be thereabouts again. However, NATHANAEL GREENE has been running consistently well all season without getting his head in front and looks to have been found an ideal opportunity by William Haggas. He went off 11/4 when fourth behind subsequent Ascot Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami over C&D in May, and that form reads well in the context of this handicap.
NATHANAEL GREENE shaped like the best horse at the weights for most of the way at Haydock last time and he's worth a chance to confirm that promise. Zealandia is really hitting form and ranks as the main threat ahead of Captain Kane.
On good going, this could be where VAYNOR strikes for the first time this season, with Zealandia feared most on his step up in trip.
