|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (9)  (13/2 +68%)Zikany |
13/2(+68%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Zikany 13/2, Fairly useful performer but has shaped as if still needing the run (second start back after 22 months off) when sixth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Took this in 2022 so he's very much one to consider. Won this race off 4lb higher in 2022; absent 666 days before two heavy defeats this term. |
|||
2nd (8)  (10/1 +38%)Poncho |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Poncho 10/1, A fair 2m winner over hurdles but below par of late in this sphere, fifth in handicap at Epsom (12f, soft) 31 days ago. More is needed back up in trip. Carries his head high and his four Flat efforts aren't that persuasive; stable runs four. |
|||
3rd (2)  (15/2 +17%)Mark Of Gold |
15/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mark Of Gold 15/2, Successful over C&D in May but he failed to beat a rival on his return at Epsom last month. Needs to get back on track. Failed to show much at Epsom two weeks ago but he did win over C&D on heavy last May. |
|||
4th (4)  (5/1 +69%)Havaila |
5/1(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Havaila 5/1, Arrives out of sorts, last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip with work to do. Nearly off the mark on Flat over C&D (soft) in May but finished last on both starts since. |
|||
5th (6)  (7/1 +50%)Hurtle Wallop |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hurtle Wallop 7/1, Unreliable type who was tried in cheekpieces when last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (14f, heavy) 16 days ago. Hood goes back on now but others are more persuasive. 0-8 but running creditably until cheekpieces replaced the hood last time; reverts to hood. |
|||
6th (10)  (9/2 -29%)Judgementofsolomon |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Judgementofsolomon 9/2, Looked on the up when bagging his second win this year at Pontefract in September and not seen to best effect given steady pace when third of 6 at Southwell (16.5f) 14 days ago. This thorough stayer remains one to be interested in. Out-and-out stayer; performance dipped on latest outing; player if bouncing back. |
|||
7th (3)  (66/1 -230%)Royaume Uni |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Royaume Uni 66/1, Fairly useful over hurdles but off the track since 2m4f landing Plumpton handicap in May. Ought to be a factor from this sort of mark back on the level. Unraced since a hurdles win in May 2023; looked a good-ground specialist in that sphere. |
|||
8th (11)  (9/1 -29%)Far L'amore |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Far L'amore 9/1, Still to register a victory but he cmes here in good order, second of 6 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, heavy) 30 days ago. In the mix with cheekpieces replacing blinkers. 0-8, with in-and-out form in handicaps on last four starts; 2m and heavy are both worries. |
|||
9th (1)  (25/1 -233%)Zoran |
25/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zoran 25/1, Versatile sort who resumed winning ways at Kempton in June. Beat only one at Ascot (2m) following month but he's the sort to bounce back. Ascot Class 3 proved much too tough in July latest; has run only once on soft (2020). |
|||
10th (5)  (8/1 -14%)Gooloogong |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gooloogong 8/1, Comes here in decent nick, fourth of 13 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Needs considering off an easing mark. Way down the weights; beaten about 5l over 1m6f on last two outings; some renewed hope. |
|||
11th (7)  (9/1 -300%)Clever Relation |
9/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Clever Relation 9/1, Improved when third at Nottingham in May and cosily landed 6-runner seller here (11.2f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Remains fairly treated and is not taken lightly for yard among the winners. Won a seller here last time; more to prove at 2m but he may have turned a corner. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
In what looks a competitive affair, JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON gets the tentative vote. He ran out a comfortable winner over 2m1f at Pontefract in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on his penultimate start and, despite a low-key effort over an extended 2m at Southwell latest, he gets the vote to return to winning ways now switched back to turf off 4lb higher than his last winning mark. Recent course winner (1m3f) Clever Relation looks a fascinating contender tackling a marathon trip for the first time, while Poncho is also noteworthy.
JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON wasn't seen to best effect when third in a steadily-run contest at Southwell last time and is fancied to bounce back in style given this stiffer test of stamina. 2022 victor Zikany could emerge as the main danger to Sir Mark Prescott's 3-y-o after a couple of runs under his belt, although Clever Relation and Gooloogong could also have a say.
Judgementofsolomon was not at his best last time. He is probably the one to beat otherwise but a chance is taken on HURTLE WALLOP.

(8)  (15/2 -88%)Wicket Keeper |
15/2(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Wicket Keeper 15/2, £44,000 yearling, Kodi Bear colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Grandlad. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 6f-7f winner Almargo out of useful 6f winner Alexander Youth. Third of 12 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to soft, 14/1) on debut 23 days ago. Should progress. Should be a player after his encouraging debut third of 12 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good). |
|||
1st (1)  (8/11 +0%)Qetaifan |
8/11(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Qetaifan 8/11, Stepped up on first 2 starts to get off the mark in decisive fashion in 6-runner novice at Chester (6.1f, heavy) 30 days ago and sets the standard under a penalty. Leading claims, especially as his odds-on Chester win (6f) was on heavy ground. |
|||
2nd (6)  (10/3 +63%)Great |
10/3(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Great 10/3, Foaled February 13. 10,000 gns foal, Twilight Son colt. Half-brother to useful Hong Kong multiple 1m winner Magnificent. Dam 1¼m winner. 10,000gns foal; Twilight Son half-brother to Hong Kong 1m winner Magnificent (RPR 97). |
|||
3rd (5)  (25/1 +0%)Dannick |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dannick 25/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in maiden (50/1) at Sandown (5f, soft) on debut 30 days ago, hampered and finished with running left. Likely to improve. No form claims after Sandown maiden (5f, soft) but badly hampered in the closing stages. |
|||
4th (7)  (16/1 -191%)Just King High |
16/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Just King High 16/1, Kodiac gelding. Dam maiden (stayed 6f) half-sister to US 5f/7f winner Big Handsome and winner up to 6f Frenetic (by Kodiac) (both smart). 12/1 and tongue strap on, fourth of 10 in novice at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Entitled to come on for that. 12-1 and tongue tied, always in touch when close fourth in novice at Beverley (5f, good). |
|||
5th (4)  (9/1 +25%)Arabian Cobra |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Arabian Cobra 9/1, Better for debut when going close in Windsor novice but yet to match that, down the field switched to nurseries last 2 starts. There are doubts whether he can live up to the Windsor form shown on second start. |
|||
6th (2)  (14/1 +30%)Kosometsuke |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kosometsuke 14/1, Modest form when down the field in novices at Ascot and Kempton. 14-1 and 22-1 when showing modest form at Ascot (6f, soft) and Kempton (AW; raced wide). |
|||
7th (9)  (150/1 0%)Keith's Star |
150/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Keith's Star 150/1, 6,000 gns yearling, Land Force filly. Sister to 6f winner Yiengaa. Dam, 6f/7f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 1m winner (stayed 10.5f) Madeed. 150/1, last of 11 in maiden at Newbury (7f, soft) on debut 38 days ago. 150-1, tailed-off last in maiden at Newbury (7f, soft) after she veered right at the start. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This looks a good opportunity for the progressive QETAIFAN to add another victory to his CV. Andrew Balding's charge impressed when fairly bolting up over 6f in testing ground at Chester last month and, with further improvement likely, he looks the one to side with under a penalty. Wicket Keeper shaped with plenty of promise when finishing third over this trip at Newbury on his debut last month and it would be no surprise if he were to emerge as the main danger to the selection, while Great looks an interesting newcomer on paper.
A good opportunity for QETAIFAN to defy a penalty in what looks an ordinary novice. Wicket Keeper offered something to work on when third at Newbury and is next best ahead of Hannon's newcomer Great.
Qetaifan sets the standard after his Chester win and that was on heavy ground but WICKET KEEPER and Just King High can improve.

1st (5)  (5/1 +9%)Chairmanoftheboard |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Chairmanoftheboard 5/1, Losing run is mounting up but went close off 3 lb higher at Newbury in the spring and probably needed the run at Haydock 2 weeks ago after 5 months off. Interesting. Smart C&D form; still capable in good 6f handicaps but well beaten at Haydock latest. |
|||
2nd (2)  (4/1 -20%)Wodao |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wodao 4/1, Listed winner in Ireland for Donnacha O'Brien but lost his way last season and just respectable efforts at best for this yard this term. However, was fourth in a better race than this at Ascot 9 days ago and is proven under testing conditions. Losing run goes back to 2yo days but good efforts on good to soft (C&D) and soft of late. |
|||
3rd (6)  (3/1 -9%)Alcazan |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Alcazan 3/1, Bagged handicaps at Ascot and Brighton during the summer and resumed winning ways with a career best at former course last week. Player if handling these conditions (unraced on going softer than good to soft). 2-3 over C&D and appreciated the soft ground when winning at Ascot last week; good chance. |
|||
4th (1)  (17/2 +6%)Coachello |
17/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Coachello 17/2, Ex-Irish 6f/7f scorer but yet to build upon his encouraging debut for this yard at Royal Ascot. Will at least find this less competitive and conditions not a problem. Down weights and will be suited by the return to slow ground; not ruled out. |
|||
5th (3)  (10/3 +0%)Baldomero |
10/3(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Baldomero 10/3, As good as ever when making all in 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft, 10/1) last month and not disgraced off revised mark at Ripon since. Won over C&D (off 3 lb lower) under similar conditions in the spring so should go well again. Helped by testing ground when winning over C&D and at Doncaster; not ruled out back here. |
|||
6th (4)  (5/1 +17%)Spanish Star |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Spanish Star 5/1, Four-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021 and 2022, but only sixth in this last season and further signs of decline this term. Won 2 of the last 3 runnings; lacks recent run but on a favourable mark now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
BALDOMERO impressed when making virtually all in rain-softened ground over an extended 6f at Doncaster on his penultimate start and, after shaping like he was still in form when finishing sixth in a competitive Ripon sprint handicap latest, he gets the vote to return to winning ways with his sights lowered today. Alcazan looks the main danger to the selection despite being upped 6lb for her recent victory over the minimum trip at Ascot, while Wodao is also noteworthy easing in grade.
Claims can be made for all 6 but it could be worth chancing CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD off a tempting mark. Wodao and Coachello are feared most dropping in class.
All things being equal, ALCAZAN (nap) has a good chance of improving her 2-3 record over C&D following an Ascot win on soft last week.

1st (3)  (10/3 +5%)Tactical Plan |
10/3(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tactical Plan 10/3, Saw off Mayday Malone to gain a deserved first victory in maiden at Chester (7f, soft) last month and backed it up with a fine second in a heavy-ground nursery at Haydock. Should give another good account. In the frame in seven of eight starts, winning a Chester maiden from Mayday Malone. |
|||
2nd (7)  (7/1 -56%)Emporess |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Emporess 7/1, In good form in deep ground this month, winning at Bath (5.7f) and second at Leicester (6f). Remains to be seen whether 7f suits her quite so well. 1st and 2nd recently on heavy ground but there is more for her to prove over this new trip. |
|||
3rd (2)  (8/1 -100%)Up The Pace |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Up The Pace 8/1, Improved to make a winning nursery debut at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) last month. Respected up 5 lb. Co-fav for nursery at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) and improved to win quite comfortably. |
|||
4th (5)  (3/1 +0%)Mayday Malone |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mayday Malone 3/1, Improved when 1¼ lengths second of 7 to reopposing Tactical Plan in maiden at Chester (7f, soft) 29 days ago. Potential for better again in nurseries with Oisin Murphy doing the steering. Second to Tactical Plan in a Chester maiden (7f, soft) on latest; 4lb better off today. |
|||
5th (1)  (5/1 -11%)Megalithic |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Megalithic 5/1, Placed in novice events. Made a very disappointing start to his nursery career at Chester in July but that was almost too bad to be true and no surprise were he to prove a different proposition 3 months on. Warm favourite on three of his four starts but still no win; gelded since and off 3 months. |
|||
6th (6)  (17/2 +29%)Number |
17/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Number 17/2, Fair maiden. Not beaten far when fourth of 5 on 6f Ascot nursery debut in July and this easier than the big-field York Ebor nursery he ran in last time. Tackles 7f for the first time. This race is nothing like so hot as his latest but others are still preferred. |
|||
7th (4)  (13/2 +54%)Louie The Legend |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Louie The Legend 13/2, Won a 16-runner maiden at Chepstow (7f, good) in August but not in the same form when fifth of 7 in a heavy-ground nursery at Newmarket since. Likely to face testing ground again here. Won 7f Chepstow maiden; first backward step on nursery debut at Newmarket (1m, soft). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having justified strong market support on his nursery bow at Salisbury last month, UP THE PACE looks capable of following up. A 5lb rise in the ratings is far from insurmountable for the Sands Of Mali colt and he's taken to fend off the threat of Tactical Plan. Ed Dunlop's gelding arrives on the back of a solid second at Haydock and another prominent showing is forecast off just a 2lb higher mark. Emporess can chase the pair home.
MAYDAY MALONE has the assistance of Oisin Murphy for this nursery debut and is taken to turn the tables on his Chester conqueror Tactical Plan. Magalithic could also have a say if the betting suggests he's expected to leave a disappointing nursery debut run behind after a break.
Up The Pace is second choice but the improving MAYDAY MALONE may emerge on top, reversing Chester placings with Tactical Plan.

1st (2)  (4/9 +22%)Castle Gates |
4/9(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Castle Gates 4/9, Farhh colt who built on his promising debut effort when second of 12 in novice at Bath (8f, soft) 12 days ago, sticking to his task well when headed. This longer trip looks sure to suit on that evidence and big shout with further progress anticipated. Front-running second at Bath (1m, heavy) is far and away the best form in this field. |
|||
2nd (1)  (5/1 +0%)Ashdown Forest |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ashdown Forest 5/1, Foaled March 6. €75,000 foal, 210,000 gns yearling, Camelot colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 7f Lexington Times. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to winner up to 8.5f Green Line. Interesting newcomer. 210,000gns yearling; eighth foal; Camelot half-brother to two winners. one useful. |
|||
3rd (6)  (15/2 -7%)The Pouncing Lion |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Pouncing Lion 15/2, Foaled April 25. 92,000 gns foal, 140,000 gns yearling, Ghaiyyath colt. Half-brother to 6f-1m winner North East Star and winner up to 1m Circe. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 9f-1½m winner Prince Bishop. Interesting newcomer. 140,000gns yearling by Ghaiyyath; dam half-sister to high-class Prince Bishop; late foal. |
|||
4th (7)  (80/1 -60%)Girls Night Out |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Girls Night Out 80/1, Mayson filly who has offered little both starts to date, last of 6 in novice at Chelmsford (1m) 10 days ago. Can only be watched. Low-level form in maiden at Bath (1m, good) and novice at Chelmsford (1m, AW). |
|||
5th (3)  (9/1 -64%)Karthon |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Karthon 9/1, Foaled March 30. New Bay gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Berlin Tango, useful 11.6f-1¾m winner Fairbanks. Makes appeal on paper and he commands a market check for clues on debut. Ninth foal; New Bay half-brother to four winners with RPRs over 100; newcomer to note. |
|||
6th (4)  (80/1 +20%)Love You Back |
80/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Love You Back 80/1, Galiway colt. Very easy to back and he went with no short-term promise when last of 11 in maiden at Sandown (8f, good) on debut 25 days ago. Looks one for the longer term on that evidence. 66-1, weakened to finish a remote last of 11 in maiden at Sandown (1m, good) 25 days ago. |
|||
7th (5)  (33/1 -136%)Nelson Gate |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Nelson Gate 33/1, Australia colt who showed a bit when amidst greenness when fourth of 6 in maiden at this course (9.9f, heavy, 25/1) on debut 18 days ago. Likely to improve but handicaps could well be more his bag in due course. 25-1 for maiden here (1m2f, heavy) and showed promise in 4th of six but it was modest form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CASTLE GATES found only the unbeaten Hopewell Rock too strong in testing conditions at Bath 12 days ago and he's likely to prove a warm order. The Godolphin-owned colt should relish today's similar ground conditions and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. Karthon, a half-brother to Group 3 all-weather winner Berlin Tango, is a potential fly in the ointment on his opening bid. Andrew Balding's juvenile is feared most, ahead of fellow newcomer Ashdown Forest.
CASTLE GATES confirmed the promise of his debut effort when runner-up in a Bath novice (1m) 12 days ago and, with this increase in trip firmly in his favour on that evidence, he makes plenty of appeal in his bid to go one place better. Ashdown Forest and The Pouncing Lion are a pair of newcomers to note also.
Bath runner-up CASTLE GATES is clearly well capable of winning a maiden on heavy ground but the newcomers need a close look.

10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Alpha Crucis 10/3, Building up a solid record at this venue and he capitalised on an easing mark to land 6-runner handicap here (9f, heavy) 18 days ago, albeit a shade flattered by the winning margin. Handicapper has reacted but he's entitled to respect back down in trip. Heavy ground when he scored by 6l in six-runner race here (1m1f) 18 days ago; up 9lb. |
|||
2nd (1)  (4/1 +27%)Rhoscolyn |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rhoscolyn 4/1, Revels in the mud and he enhanced his fine record here when landing 6-runner C&D handicap (heavy) on penultimate start in September. Far from disgraced when ninth of 18 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good) 8 days ago and no surprise to see him thereabouts back at this venue. Has a fine record on heavy ground and at Goodwood, including a 1m win on penultimate start. |
|||
3rd (6)  (7/1 -56%)Dashing Darcey |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dashing Darcey 7/1, Won a pair of 1m Lingfield novices on AW in December and has progressed again in handicaps, off the mark at Haydock (1m) in June and similar form following a break when runner-up back at that venue 2 weeks ago. Versatile as regards ground and he's respected. 100 days off before good second at Haydock (1m) two weeks ago, his first run on soft. |

4th (2)  (7/2 +36%)Whip Cracker |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Whip Cracker 7/2, Lightly raced 3-y-o who ran up to best after 3 months off when third of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Newbury (10f, soft) 22 days ago. Return to 1m will hold no fears and he's respected from unchanged mark. Third over 1m2f on heavy last time but this drop back in trip may help; lightly raced 3yo. |
|||
5th (9)  (13/2 -18%)Arkhalia Flynn |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Arkhalia Flynn 13/2, Has progressed into a useful performer, bagging a third success in handicaps at Windsor (1m, soft) in August. Runner-up both starts since, a slow start not helping when chasing home Marcella in handicap at Epsom (8.5f) 2 weeks ago. Looks sure to be in the mix again. Progressive 3yo, including on soft and heavy; second to Marcella at Epsom last time. |
|||
6th (7)  (28/1 +0%)Son Of Man |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Son Of Man 28/1, Stepped up markedly on his reappearance effort when runner-up over 7f here in June. However, not scaled same heights since, including in 2 starts for new stable, seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ran well on heavy last term but didn't on latest outing, on his second race for this yard. |
|||
7th (5)  (8/1 +11%)Crack Shot |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Crack Shot 8/1, Progressive at 3 and made a winning return over 1m at Newmarket in May. Best effort since when fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 49 days ago and no surprise to see a good showing with his mark having eased a little more. Started this season with a career best to win at Newmarket, which he has not matched. |
|||
8th (3)  (10/1 -43%)Marcella |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Marcella 10/1, Struggled following a promising comeback run in the spring but found a drop in grade/positive ride right up her street when back to winning ways in 8-runner handicap at Epsom (8.5f, soft) 14 days ago, by 2 lengths from Arkhalia Flynn. May find things tougher from revised mark/back up in class. 7lb higher than at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) latest but that win came in dominant fashion. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
This looks a tricky puzzle to solve and a chance taken on RHOSCOLYN, who has won four times at this venue. David O'Meara's charge won over C&D on his penultimate outing off just 2lb lower and, should he be revived by the return to this track, he could take some beating. Alpha Crucis won as he liked over 1m1f here last month and he can offer another bold bid, but a 9lb hike may not be easy to defy. Similar comments apply to Marcella, who has gone up 7lb for her two-length Epsom triumph.
PLANTADREAM's losing run tempers enthusiasm to a degree but he again went agonisingly close to bucking that trend over C&D 7 weeks ago, just failing having conceded first run. He's given the vote partnered by Hollie Doyle for the first time. Arkhalia Flynn, prolific course scorer Rhoscolyn and Alpha Crucis are just a trio of others to consider in a competitive affair.
Nearly all also have plenty going for them. However, RHOSCOLYN has had six races at Goodwood on soft or heavy going and won five.

1st (9)  (66/1 -200%)Platinum Prince |
66/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Platinum Prince 66/1, Unreliable sort who isn't in top form and is a long way out of the weights, so easy to look elsewhere. Fair 5th in this last year but no strong preference for soft ground and 6lb wrong. |
|||
2nd (2)  (4/1 +20%)Racingbreaks Ryder |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Racingbreaks Ryder 4/1, Well treated and has shaped well on occasion this year, notably at this course. Not disgraced on latest effort and stable have been showing better signs lately. One to note. Likes soft ground but hasn't seemed quite the old force this year; needs turnaround. |
|||
3rd (5)  (13/2 +54%)Asteverdi |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Asteverdi 13/2, Well on top at the line when opening her account for the season at Sandown in June but has been hit and miss since, her latest effort at Haydock one of her lesser ones. Cheekpieces are tried. Impressive 1m winner on good to soft in June; ground excuses in 2 of 3 runs since. |
|||
4th (7)  (4/1 +11%)Windcrack |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Windcrack 4/1, Progressive switched to handicaps and completed a Sandown double when finding plenty to land a 10-runner event there last time. Has to prove herself on this less-conventional track but she's worthy of respect. Suited by return to 1m when winning last 2 starts at Sandown; up 3lb; every chance. |
|||
5th (6)  (11/1 -57%)Ziggy's Phoenix |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ziggy's Phoenix 11/1, Caused a 66/1 shock at Newmarket in May and arguably surpassed that performance when accounting for 7 rivals in a C&D handicap in August. Ran about as well in defeat from 4 lb higher when third of 6 at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month and deserves respect again. Handles all ground; creditable 3rd to big improver at Ascot (1m, soft) latest; thereabouts. |
|||
6th (3)  (7/2 +13%)Phoenix Passion |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Phoenix Passion 7/2, Has thrived this year, completing the four-timer when dead-heating at Kempton (1m) in June. Has remained in form since and he's liable to give another good account. Won 3-4 turf handicaps at 1m in 2024; good 2nd latest; good claims. |
|||
7th (1)  (4/1 -33%)Magic Memories |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Magic Memories 4/1, Has plenty of form with the mud is flying and scored at Yarmouth in June. Just ticking over subsequently but can never be ruled out in these sort of conditions. Both wins at 1m on soft; hasn't raised his game in higher grades but this is more suitable. |
|||
8th (4)  (11/1 +8%)Double Time |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Double Time 11/1, Quirky sort who scored here in June and, having edged back down the weights, looked back in form when sixth at Kempton 11 days ago. Tricky ride, so will need the race to pan out ideally. 3rd in this race last year and C&D winner in June; lesser runs of late though. |
|||
9th (8)  (12/1 -9%)Beau Jardine |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Beau Jardine 12/1, Visored for 1st time, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft, 9/2) 9 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Cheekpieces back on. Seemingly just ticking over at present and he's wrong at the weights. Both handicap wins at 6f on soft; has been fading over 7f and 1m since latest one in May. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
PHOENIX PASSION was only narrowly beaten when second over 1m at Newbury last month and this represents a good opportunity for him to go one better. Ed Walker's charge has continued to progress since scoring over this C&D in May and a 1lb rise for his latest effort may prove lenient. Windcrack arrives here seeking a hat-trick after back-to-back 1m wins at Sandown but a further 3lb rise for a neck success last time may just halt her progression, while Ziggy's Phoenix also makes appeal.
RACINGBREAKS RYDER isn't the most reliable but he's well treated and already shaped well here this season, so he's worth taking a chance on. Magic Memories and Phoenix Passion should also be on the premises.
Windcrack can continue to improve but C&D winner PHOENIX PASSION has a fine record in turf handicaps and is preferred.

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.
