1st (1) (20/1 +50%) Glittering Legend |
20/1(+50%) | (1) Glittering Legend 20/1, 12/1, fifth of 6 in novice at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on debut 67 days ago. Open to improvement. Gelded since showing promise in a warm 7f novice at Doncaster. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 -78%) Pantile Warrior |
4/1(-78%) | (3) Pantile Warrior 4/1, Frankel colt who has progressed with each start, bumping a promising newcomer when stepped up to 1m at Newbury last time. Sets the standard. Pushed a promising newcomer close at Newbury and that sets the standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (12/1 +0%) Regal Ulixes |
12/1(+0%) | (5) Regal Ulixes 12/1, 70,000 gns Ulysses colt. Closely related to 3 winners, including very smart winner up to 1¼m Regal Reality, useful 2-y-o 1m winner Regal Jubilee. Respected newcomer from a yard which has won this twice in recent years. 70,000gns yearling; seventh foal; closely related to three winners including Regal Reality. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (5/1 -11%) Watching Stars |
5/1(-11%) | (9) Watching Stars 5/1, 9/4, fourth of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 25 days ago. Likely to be suited by 1m and can be expected to improve for top yard. Perhaps the experience was needed when a one-paced fourth at Newmarket. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (5/2 +17%) Seacruiser |
5/2(+17%) | (6) Seacruiser 5/2, Foaled March 14. 200,000 gns Sea The Stars colt. Half-brother to Spanish winner up to 11f Velerin. Leading stable has enjoyed plenty of first-time-out 2-y-o success lately. Market confidence could prove significant. 200,000gns yearling; second foal; half-brother to Spanish 7.5f-1m3f winner Velerin. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (14/1 +13%) Sir William |
14/1(+13%) | (7) Sir William 14/1, 100/30, sixth of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good, 10/3) on debut 25 days ago. Tongue strap quickly reached for but he is open to progress for his powerful stable. Remote 6th at Newmarket but did go off at 100-30 and a tongue-tie is now added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (10/3 +17%) Mighty Boy |
10/3(+17%) | (2) Mighty Boy 10/3, Promising start to his career when second of 11 in a valuable newcomers event at Deauville (7f, good, 88/10) 19 days ago. Should have more to offer. No match for an easy winner at Deauville (7f, good) but ran well for a newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (25/1 +50%) Stormy Monday |
25/1(+50%) | (8) Stormy Monday 25/1, 11/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Sandown (1m, good) on debut 26 days ago, running green. Should improve. Only sixth of eight at Sandown but was quite eyecatching nonetheless from off the pace. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (80/1 -142%) Pistrucci |
80/1(-142%) | (4) Pistrucci 80/1, Twice-raced colt. Stepped up on debut when fifth of 11 in novice at Haydock (7f, firm, 25/1) 25 days ago but this demands a good bit more again. Showed plenty more second time at Haydock and looks ready for this extra furlong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (28/1 +30%) Whatcombe |
28/1(+30%) | (10) Whatcombe 28/1, 200,000 gns Camelot colt. Dam 7f-9.4f winner. The betting should help guide to expectations. 200,000gns yearling; fourth foal; dam 7f-9.4f winner (including Group 3; RPR 106). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Pantile Warrior has progressed with each start to date and has to be of interest following a narrow defeat at Newbury. That said, preference is for MIGHTY BOY, who displayed plenty of promise when second in a valuable event at Deauville on his debut and the son of Zarak is entitled to improve for that experience. Watching Stars was well held in fourth on his racecourse bow at Newmarket but should not be discounted. All of the newcomers make some appeal, but Seacruiser is marginally the pick of them.
Plenty of good stable's are represented in this opener. PANTILE WARRIOR has achieved enough to think he can win a race like this and gets the nod ahead of Godolphin's Watching Stars and Deauville runner-up Mighty Boy. Seacruiser and Regal Ulixes are newcomers to monitor closely in the betting.
Brian Meehan's 2yos usually come on for a run and MIGHTY BOY made an encouraging debut in France.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (8/1 +50%) Almaty Star |
8/1(+50%) | (3) Almaty Star 8/1, Scored at Chelmsford City in June. 22/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago so needs to bounce back. Wasn't far away at Windsor before struggling in a higher grade at Doncaster. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4/1 +67%) Angle Land |
4/1(+67%) | (6) Angle Land 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Yarmouth in June. Last of 6 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (soft) 10 days ago so needs to get back on track. Multiple winner but has been rather flat the last twice, on good and slow ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/4 +64%) Kiss And Run |
5/4(+64%) | (5) Kiss And Run 5/4, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (10/3) at this C&D (good) 11 days ago. Up 5 lb but she's not taken lightly in her current mood. Made all over C&D latest; 5lb higher but can give another good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (2/1 +40%) Alligator Alley |
2/1(+40%) | (2) Alligator Alley 2/1, Resumed winning ways at Thirsk in August and posted a solid second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 10 days ago. Can go very well off the same mark. Can be slowly away but not last time when he rallied for second on going softer than ideal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Night On Earth has to be of interest following his success at Catterick last week, but a 5lb penalty for that victory has to be a slight concern. As a result, the vote goes to ALLIGATOR ALLEY, who only found one too good over C&D 10 days ago and returns off the same mark. Kiss And Run scored over track and trip recently and is another with strong form claims.
ALLIGATOR ALLEY rates just the pick at these weights so edges the vote on the back of his good recent C&D second. Penalised Catterick scorer Night On Earth rates a big threat though in his bid for a fifth victory of the term, while C&D winners Kiss And Run and Angle Land can both make their presence felt too.
A fast pace seems assured. A chance is taken on ANCIENT TIMES who had excuses when failing to give his running last time.

1st (8) (17/2 +6%) Sir Lowry's Pass |
17/2(+6%) | (8) Sir Lowry's Pass 17/2, 18/1, sixth of 13 in maiden (18/1) at Sandown (1¼m, good to soft) on debut 80 days ago. Yet another in this line-up who is open to progress. 18-1, kept on to be sixth of 13 on his 1m2f Sandown debut (good to soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/1 -40%) Forest Gate |
7/1(-40%) | (6) Forest Gate 7/1, Promising type. Second of 8 in novice at Newbury (1¼m, good to soft) 39 days ago. Open to further improvement and should be winning soon. Strong form claims on latest evidence and there should be more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (9/1 +36%) Hillbridge |
9/1(+36%) | (11) Hillbridge 9/1, Fair form when third in 1¼m Ascot maiden in May and possibly failed to stay 1½m when only sixth on soft turf at Lingfield 3 weeks later. Given time since. Sports a hood on return. Still early days. Middle run at Ascot reads well and returning from a break might be no bad thing; hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/1 -100%) Urban Lion |
11/1(-100%) | (3) Urban Lion 11/1, Mid-division in one of the hottest novices of the year on his 1m Newmarket debut in June and landed the odds in a 1m Chelmsford maiden 8 weeks later. May do better again. AW winner; the penalty spells danger, even if he does improve for going further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/4 +10%) Retracement |
9/4(+10%) | (2) Retracement 9/4, Shaped well in a warm race on debut and duly landed the odds in a maiden at Pontefract (1m, good) 3 months later. Up in trip. One of several in this line-up with the potential for better. Carried his head high at Pontefract but still won and he's in good hands to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (17/2 +6%) Radwan |
17/2(+6%) | (1) Radwan 17/2, 10/3 and cheekpieces on, won 4-runner novice at Doncaster (1¼m, good to firm) on debut 31 days ago, rallying to lead again post. In the right hands to progress. Doncaster form nothing special and will need more if he's to defy a penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (17/2 -13%) Samra Star |
17/2(-13%) | (5) Samra Star 17/2, Promise on 7f Wolverhampton debut and left that bare form well behind when winning over 9.5f there a month later. Should have more to offer now switching to turf under Buick. Nicely on top at the finish at Wolverhampton and she's built to keep progressing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (22/1 -57%) Shimmering Spin |
22/1(-57%) | (7) Shimmering Spin 22/1, Placed both starts, stepping up on debut when second over 1m at Chelmsford 19 days ago. Up in trip. May do better again. Gave it a good go from the front at Chelmsford (1m) but was ultimately reeled in. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (20/1 -67%) Wind River |
20/1(-67%) | (10) Wind River 20/1, Stepped up on last summer's debut when 2½ lengths second of 12 to Retracement in maiden at Pontefract (1m, good, 7/2) 37 days ago, clear of rest. Up in trip. Should have more to offer. Returning from a 343-day break when keeping Retracement honest at Pontefract. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (125/1 -89%) Castle Peak |
125/1(-89%) | (4) Castle Peak 125/1, Seventh in 2 runs over 7f on AW 20 months apart (trained by Charlie Appleby on debut). Up significantly in trip with a first-time tongue tie added (has had wind surgery). Outsider. Ex-Godolphin; only midfield at Kempton after an absence; stamina untested. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Cases can be made for most of these, but RETRACEMENT is just the pick of them. The son of Australia caught the eye when third in a competitive maiden on his debut at Yarmouth in April and confirmed that promise when winning decisively on his sole subsequent outing at Pontefract in July. Samra Star has a similar profile to the selection and should not be discounted. Others to note are Forest Gate, Shimmering Spin and Radwan.
Plenty of potential in this novice. FOREST GATE receives weight from the 4 previous winners in this line-up and might be able to take advantage after 2 promising placed efforts this summer. Radwan and Retracement may prove the best of those winners.
The filly SAMRA STAR was well on top at the finish at Wolverhampton and she's a scopey individual who can improve plenty more.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (6/1 +40%) Leyhaimur |
6/1(+40%) | (7) Leyhaimur 6/1, Made second start in nurseries a winning one at Kempton (6f) last month and arrives on back of respectable fourth of 11 at Southwell (6.1f, 8/1) 16 days ago. Not out of things. Kempton winner and Southwell fourth; form looks solid; in the mix once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (15/2 -88%) Lady Luzon |
15/2(-88%) | (4) Lady Luzon 15/2, Consistent sort who has won 2 of her 3 starts in nurseries, latest at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm, 3/1) 19 days ago, keeping on well. Worth another try at 6f and holds solid claims. A model of consistency so far; 5f winner at Chepstow; returning to 6f should be fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 +50%) Havana Gila |
4/1(+50%) | (2) Havana Gila 4/1, Opened account at York (5f) in June and back to that sort of form when good fifth of 12 in nursery (11/1) at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. 1 lb lower now and warrants respect. Ran pretty well when fifth on nursery debut at Newbury and should be competitive again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/2 -22%) Pouting |
11/2(-22%) | (5) Pouting 11/2, Made the frame at Windsor on first 2 starts but been below that level since and has work to do on switch to handicapping. Hood on first time. Hasn't built on promising first two runs; too free last time so first-time hood may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (6/4 +8%) Where's Clare |
6/4(+8%) | (1) Where's Clare 6/4, Improved for step up to this trip when decisively landing nursery at Nottingham (good) 14 days ago. More on plate off 6 lb higher here but must enter calculations. Upped to 6f and easily made all at Nottingham two weeks ago; 6lb rise does not look harsh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (6/1 +29%) Jakarta |
6/1(+29%) | (3) Jakarta 6/1, Off the mark over C&D in May but rather gone backwards since and is now tried in headgear for first time. Disappointing twice since C&D win so has a bit to prove in first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 -106%) Enigmatic Princess |
33/1(-106%) | (6) Enigmatic Princess 33/1, Not progressed since promising Haydock debut in May and has something to prove on handicap debut here. Best effort on debut; folded tamely last time; more questions to answer than some of these. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WHERE'S CLARE made every yard when returning an impressive winner at Nottingham a fortnight ago. She looks one to keep on the right side of and can defy a 6lb rise if allowed her own way on the front end. The progressive Lady Luzon has won two of her last three outings over the minimum trip and is worth another try over this extra furlong, while Pouting is a potential improver fitted with a hood on her first start in a nursery.
It could be worth chancing HAVANA GILA, who got back on track in a competitive nursery at Newbury last time and remains relatively low mileage. Recent winners Where's Clare and Lady Luzon look the obvious dangers.
Leyhaimur is respected but slight preference is for northern raider LADY LUZON who is building an impressive body of work.

1st (5) (2/1 +27%) Durham Castle |
2/1(+27%) | (5) Durham Castle 2/1, Boasts a progressive profile and had a good deal to spare when opening his account at Southwell 16 days ago. Opening mark of 80 might underestimate him, and he makes the most appeal. The RPR he posted in his maiden win bodes well with a view to this initial mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (13/2 +0%) Rhythm N Hooves |
13/2(+0%) | (2) Rhythm N Hooves 13/2, Raced away from the action when down the field in the Stewards' Cup and also not seen to best effect at Windsor next time. Fewer excuses at York last time but at least this is a drop in grade. Prominent-racer; probably has a better chance than his recent form figures may imply. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +50%) Aramram |
4/1(+50%) | (3) Aramram 4/1, Made second start a winning one at Nottingham in May. Has mostly held his form since and probably found the race coming too soon when tenth at Ripon last time. Type to bounce back. 6f novice winner who hasn't looked that well treated since sent handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (14/1 -87%) Alcazan |
14/1(-87%) | (7) Alcazan 14/1, Produced a career best to follow up from her Ascot win a fortnight earlier when scoring at Brighton (6f, good to soft) last month. Not totally disgraced in a better effort at York next time but current mark demands more. Hat-trick bid came up short but that was in a Class 2 over a fast 5f at York. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (12/1 +0%) Mister Bluebird |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Mister Bluebird 12/1, Losing run is mounting up and arrives on the back of two lesser efforts, so will need the first-time visor to perk him up if he's to make a serious impact from a sliding mark. Capable sprinter and always a chance that a change of headgear will trigger something. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (12/1 +0%) Tiger Crusade |
12/1(+0%) | (4) Tiger Crusade 12/1, Better on AW but is becoming well treated in this sphere and is the type who could get involved if the race plays to his strengths. Lacks course form but he's too well handicapped to be ignored. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (4/1 +20%) Many A Star |
4/1(+20%) | (1) Many A Star 4/1, C&D winner who has been holding form well lately, finishing with a flourish when third at Windsor 10 days ago. Dropped a pound since and should be on the premises. He came from further back than the first two when third at Windsor last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (40/1 -150%) Snuggle |
40/1(-150%) | (10) Snuggle 40/1, Struck at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in April before finishing just one too good over the same C&D. Put in another good shift when a close third at Salisbury then underperformed at Newbury 70 days ago. Off since. Still on a competitive mark if shrugging aside latest disappointment. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (22/1 +21%) Atalanta's Boy |
22/1(+21%) | (9) Atalanta's Boy 22/1, Off 21 months/first run since leaving Martin Smith when fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton in May but failed to back it up at Sandown two weeks later. That race may have come too soon and, having had a break, this 5-time C&D winner can't be completely dismissed. First run back from an absence was better than the second; had a wind operation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (16/1 -129%) Indian Creak |
16/1(-129%) | (6) Indian Creak 16/1, Course winner. Below form fourth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Windsor (6f, soft) 10 days ago. Others make more appeal. Behind Many A Star at Windsor last time when the slow ground should have suited. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A chance is taken on the unexposed DURHAM CASTLE showing further improvement now handicapping. The three-year-old landed a maiden at Southwell on his return from a layoff and William Buick's presence in the saddle is another positive. Many A Star was successful over C&D at this time last year and a recent placed effort at Windsor suggests a return to the winner's enclosure is imminent. Rhythm N Hooves is hard to predict, but drops in class and won off a higher mark at Doncaster back in May.
DURHAM CASTLE was impressive at Southwell and is fancied to maintain his progress to defy an opening mark of 80 against more exposed types. Many A Star seems likely to put up another solid showing and Aramram should be involved.
This should be run at a good clip and with that in mind a chance is taken on TIGER CRUSADE who is well handicapped.

1st (8) (5/6 +39%) East India Dock |
5/6(+39%) | (8) East India Dock 5/6, Scored at Salisbury (12f) in May and resumed his progress after 8 weeks off when third of 8 in handicap over C&D (good to soft) 9 days ago, finishing well having been switched 2f out. Big shout off an unchanged mark. Unquestionably unlucky here last time and compensation may await off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (12/1 -20%) Calling The Wind |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Calling The Wind 12/1, 2023 winner of the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle but off since coming in ninth in 2m4f handicap here 13 months ago. Has his fitness to prove. Quality stayer but now returning from the longest break of his career. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (22/1 +33%) Diamond Bay |
22/1(+33%) | (5) Diamond Bay 22/1, Arrives out of sorts, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 40/1) 33 days ago. Others are much preferred. Lingfield second in March is his standout run in 2024; others safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/2 +0%) Beamish |
9/2(+0%) | (2) Beamish 9/2, Got back on track when second of 10 in handicap at Ascot (16f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Not taken lightly up just 1 lb. Second at the Shergar Cup and a repeat of that effort won't see him far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/1 -40%) Master Milliner |
7/1(-40%) | (3) Master Milliner 7/1, Confirmed previous promise when winning 18-runner handicap here (20.4f, firm) 32 days ago. Back down in trip but he needs considering once more. Won the 2m4f handicap here last month; back up 6lb but likes this track and 2m is fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (12/1 -9%) The Grand Visir |
12/1(-9%) | (7) The Grand Visir 12/1, It's now 30 runs since his last win in 2019. 4/1, only third of 4 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good) 16 days ago so more is required with visor back on. Long time since he won and he's been unplaced in five previous visits here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 -52%) Ben Lilly |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Ben Lilly 50/1, Off 7 months since posting a respectable third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f). Has his first run on the Flat since 2021 so others appeal more on this occasion. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on. Hurdling more his thing these days and having first Flat run in three years. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (12/1 -50%) Aggagio |
12/1(-50%) | (4) Aggagio 12/1, 4-time course winner but tailed off when fell last in handicap chase at Plumpton (17f) 155 days ago. Took this in 2022 so no surprise to see him bounce back after his break though. Fell when chasing in April and off since; well treated and has a good record in this race. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
James Fanshawe won this in 2015 and 2023 so will know the sort needed to be successful once more. That suggests a big run from EAST INDIA DOCK, who was only beaten a neck over C&D last month on his first try at the trip, despite being blocked and hampered at a crucial stage. Aggagio was third 12 months ago off this mark, which makes him a danger despite his 155-day absence. Ascot second Beamish rounds out the shortlist.
EAST INDIA DOCK signalled he's ready to go in again with a recent C&D third when not enjoying the smoothest of passages and can edge out the likeable course winner Master Milliner. Beamish is also well in the mix on the back of his resurgent Ascot second, while 2022 victor Aggagio also can't be ruled out in an intriguing staying handicap.
James Fanshawe's EAST INDIA DOCK (nap) hasn't achieved anything like so much as some of his rivals, but he looks the one to be with.

1st (7) (16/1 +52%) Pink Lily |
16/1(+52%) | (7) Pink Lily 16/1, Resumed winning ways at Bath in May and bettered that when scoring in good style over 9f here next time. However, she appears to have gone off the boil since, again finishing nearer last than first at Kempton on latest start. Back-to-back wins in May and June (1m2f/1m1f); but treading water since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (8/1 -45%) Meleri |
8/1(-45%) | (11) Meleri 8/1, Signed off last season on a winning note at Bath and posted best effort of 2024 campaign so far when finding just one too good at Sandown (1¼m, good) last time. Creditable fourth off 3 lb higher on sole previous visit here last September and she has to enter calculations. Two 1m2f wins, on good and heavy; back to form latest but would be helped by some rain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (16/1 -88%) Solanna |
16/1(-88%) | (12) Solanna 16/1, Winless since May 2023 but has slipped to a good mark as a consequence and returned to form when placed in handicaps at Carlisle (9f, good) and Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) in July. Live each-way chance. Three wins at 1m3f and 1m2f in 2023; steadily working way back to form; aids switch. |

4th (5) (20/1 -11%) Twin Earth |
20/1(-11%) | (5) Twin Earth 20/1, Produced one of his better efforts when fourth in a 7-runner handicap here (9f, good) 11 days ago, albeit he was better placed than most and more will be needed if he's to open his account in this contest. Needs to conserve energy which hasn't happened in either of two handicaps (1m2f/1m1f). |

5th (16) (28/1 -100%) Jimmy Mark |
28/1(-100%) | (16) Jimmy Mark 28/1, Back-to-back winner over this trip at Ffos Las in recent months but his bubble was burst in no uncertain terms at Salisbury last month. Others preferred. On a 1m2f hat-trick when running no sort of race at Salisbury last time; query for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (12/1 -20%) Coolree |
12/1(-20%) | (8) Coolree 12/1, Got on top close home at Beverley in May and settled better than he did at Pontefract when a close third in this headgear combination in a Yarmouth handicap (10.1f, good) 15 days ago. High on the shortlist off the same mark with Tom Marquand aboard. Both wins at about 1m but kept on well into 3rd last time in only his second run over 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/1 -13%) Tiger Beetle |
9/1(-13%) | (1) Tiger Beetle 9/1, Clear-cut winner at Haydock on penultimate start and should have finished closer than he did when fourth of 9 subsequently at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) where he slipped on the bend around 4f out. Big player off the same mark with William Buick booked. AW regular now; suited by 1m2f on good for Haydock win in July; W Buick up for first time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (7/2 +36%) Imperial Cult |
7/2(+36%) | (14) Imperial Cult 7/2, Scored twice over 1½m on the AW at Lingfield in July and, though 0-11 on turf, he proved that he is equally effective on grass when narrowly failing in his hat-trick bid at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once again. In the pink with 2 AW wins (1m4f) and just touched off at Epsom (1m2f) latest; involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (14/1 +44%) Carp Kid |
14/1(+44%) | (6) Carp Kid 14/1, Landed Chepstow handicap for the second year running 3 starts back but he possesses something of an up-and-down profile and was safely held at Sandown next time prior to being beaten 19 lengths when third at Newbury. Others look more solid. Has course form under S Osborne; has needed excuses either side of Chepstow win in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (11/1 +31%) Kamanika |
11/1(+31%) | (2) Kamanika 11/1, Had a productive campaign last season, bagging 4 handicaps over this trip on ground ranging from good to heavy. Recent belated reappearance run at Newmarket was probably needed and she will be interesting provided the word 'firm' doesn't appear in the going description. Four 1m2f wins in 2023; better for belated return in August and the return to 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (22/1 -10%) Grey Fox |
22/1(-10%) | (4) Grey Fox 22/1, Regained the winning thread at Newbury (1m, good) and, following a couple of low-key efforts, he has got back on track with respectable efforts in defeat at Ascot and most recently back at this trip returned to Newbury in July. Still, others make more appeal on this occasion. 1m2f winner earlier in career but later wins at 1m and stamina query over this far now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (15/2 +25%) Hoornblower |
15/2(+25%) | (3) Hoornblower 15/2, Produced best effort to date by some way when accounting for 6 rivals in a 1m Lingfield handicap (1m, AW) in June. Failed to reproduce that spark over the same C&D next time and while the booking of Oisin Murphy is a positive, this step up in trip and return to turf are potentially negative factors. Convincing 1m AW winner back from break; lesser effort since; new trip back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (8/1 +20%) Celebrating Ethel |
8/1(+20%) | (13) Celebrating Ethel 8/1, Winner of a big-field Leopardstown handicap for previous connections last summer and has shaped fairly well on a couple of occasions for present yard, including when fifth in the 11-runner contest won by Pink Lily here in June. However, she was below par last time and stall 14 is hardly ideal. Two best runs this year at 1m1f here and 1m2f at Doncaster; below best in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (10/1 +38%) Abu Royal |
10/1(+38%) | (10) Abu Royal 10/1, Winner of an Ayr maiden for Charlie Johnston in May 2023 but that's his sole success form 17 career starts and recent efforts have not been overly encouraging. Blinkers refitted. Sole win in 1m maiden; fair 4th over 1m2f in June; lesser effort in sole run at trip since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (15) (22/1 +33%) Lawn Ranger |
22/1(+33%) | (15) Lawn Ranger 22/1, Has winning course form to his name but that was back in August 2019 and he hasn't put his best foot forward in 3 runs this year, including when trailing in last of 11 in the handicap won by Pink Lily in June. Engaged 7.00 Windsor Monday. Multiple wins include one at 1m1f here; not come near winning since latest in August 2023. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Pink Lily was successful here off 2lb lower in June, but she has run poorly recently and others appear to have stronger credentials. Solanna makes his Goodwood debut after a Yarmouth second but he has 2lb more now and steps up in class, so MELERI is the pick. Beaten half a length at Sandown in July and only upped 1lb, a better start here may be enough to see her home in front.
The pick of these may well turn out to be TIGER BEETLE, who was a pretty decisive scorer at Haydock in July and luck wasn't on his side at Nottingham next time. He looks the way to go with William Buick doing the steering. There are dangers aplenty, headed by Coolree, while the in-form Imperial Cult is third choice ahead of Meleri and Solanna.
A few of these ran flat last time but IMPERIAL CULT only narrowly failed to land the hat-trick at Epsom where he lost nothing in defeat.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
