1st (3) (2/1 +27%) Granny Budgie |
2/1(+27%) | (3) Granny Budgie 2/1, Thrice-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 7/2, won 6-runner nursery at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago, suited by way race developed. 4 lb rise fair enough and another bold show anticipated. 2-3 and had a bit in hand at Ripon 17 days ago; contender despite a 4lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.25/1 -20%) Fusterlandia |
2.25/1(-20%) | (1) Fusterlandia 2.25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form second of 9 in minor event at Nottingham (5f, good to soft, 11/4) 48 days ago, slowly away. Fair mark for this nursery/stable debut and should go close, provided the ground isn't on the slow side. Runner-up in 3 of 4 runs for R Hannon; ground a question mark on stable debut;. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4.5/1 +40%) Irish Nectar |
4.5/1(+40%) | (2) Irish Nectar 4.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, fourth of 11 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, heavy) 20 days ago. Up in trip for this nursery debut and needs to raise his game. Two runs on slow ground have been promising; 6f should suit; brings potential to nurseries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4.5/1 -50%) Woodleigh |
4.5/1(-50%) | (4) Woodleigh 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 9 in nursery at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 4/1) 28 days ago, clear of rest. Now 6 lb higher in a high-grade nursery but merits respect all the same. Clear with the winner on nursery debut last month; up 6lb but has more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 -67%) Indivar |
10/1(-67%) | (5) Indivar 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 10/1) 28 days ago. On a good mark for this nursery debut if able to belatedly build on the promise he showed on debut at Ayr in June. Not built on debut promise in two runs since; may do so now handicapping. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having won twice already, Granny Budgie rates highly despite a 4lb rise for landing a nursery at Ripon 17 days ago. However, this is a deeper contest and FUSTERLANDIA, who sets the standard with an official rating of 81, shades the vote as a long-distance traveller on his debut for Dominic French Davies. Having previously run well when second over 5f at Nottingham and Beverley, today's stiff finish/longer trip can provide the selection with an ideal test and he is taken to shine. Woodleigh rates as best of the rest.
Much will depend on what the weather does. If the ground is good to soft or slower, WOODLEIGH would have a serious chance, provided he is able to build on his improved nursery debut second at Thirsk where he pulled nicely clear of the rest. If it's good or faster, Fusterlandia will surely go close off what looks a fair mark, while Granny Budgie, who has won on good/good to soft, is also feared on the back of her recent Ripon success.
Irish Nectar looks a likely improver upped to 6f for his nursery debut but WOODLEIGH can defy a rise for his fine second last time.

1st (6) (4/1 -100%) Offer And Receive |
4/1(-100%) | (6) Offer And Receive 4/1, Foaled February 12. 300,000 gns yearling, Showcasing colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1m Good Gracious. Dam, winner up to 10.2f (2-y-o 7.6f winner), half-sister to useful 7f-8.6f winner Alkaamel. Newcomer of extreme interest. 300,000gns yearling; looks the part on paper and he's an interesting newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/1 -67%) Align The Stars |
5/1(-67%) | (1) Align The Stars 5/1, Foaled April 29. 100,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Brother to very smart/ungenuine 1¼m-13f winner Al Aasy and 1¼m winner Sea Flawless. Newcomer for leading yard. Has a striking pedigree and he's an interesting newcomer for yard that won this last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3.33/1 +5%) Let's Dream |
3.33/1(+5%) | (3) Let's Dream 3.33/1, Sent off 66/1 but displayed ability when seventh of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago. Showed some promise in a useful maiden at Newmarket (7f) and he should know more this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (1.88/1 +62%) Elemental Eye |
1.88/1(+62%) | (2) Elemental Eye 1.88/1, Stepped up on debut run when third of 6 in novice event at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft, 66/1) 46 days ago, despite being slowly away. Promising third at Ayr and he's open to more progress on this step up to 1m; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/1 +42%) Made In China |
7/1(+42%) | (4) Made In China 7/1, In good hands but little short-term promise when eighth of 9 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good) on debut 70 days ago. Has a good pedigree but he finished tailed off at Sandown on his debut in June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 -144%) Mix De Gris |
22/1(-144%) | (5) Mix De Gris 22/1, Foaled February 23. €22,000 yearling, Master's Spirit gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 1m winner Sismix and 9.5f winner Makitorix, both in France. Yard 0-11 with 2yos in recent years and is best watched unless market is persuasive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (66/1 -32%) Too Much Too Young |
66/1(-32%) | (7) Too Much Too Young 66/1, Too green to show much both starts. Big prices and has been beaten 18l in two 7f maidens at Catterick this summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (66/1 -164%) Allegro Brillante |
66/1(-164%) | (8) Allegro Brillante 66/1, Foaled March 23. £2,000 yearling, Portamento filly. Dam ran once in UAE. Yard 2-44 with 2yos in recent years and she's probably one for later on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This has been a stellar season for Karl Burke's two-year-olds and he introduces another potentially useful sort in the shape of 300,000gns purchase OFFER AND RECEIVE, who is a half-brother to a winning miler and his dam, Give And Take, scored as a juvenile before going on to land the Group 3 Musidora at York when stepped up in distance. Align The Stars is another newcomer with a likable pedigree to consider, while Elemental Eye appeals most of those with previous experience.
Those with experience don't set the bar too high so OFFER AND RECEIVE, a 300,000 gns purchase representing a yard with a superb record with juveniles, could easily be up to the job. Align The Stars also ticks plenty of boxes on paper, with Let's Dream another to consider.
There are two striking newcomers in the line-up and Kevin Ryan's OFFER AND RECEIVE gets the vote ahead of Align The Stars.

1st (4) (2.25/1 +44%) Anjo Bonita |
2.25/1(+44%) | (4) Anjo Bonita 2.25/1, Made a positive start for new yard when third of 9 in minor event at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 5/1) 20 days ago. Fairly treated, back in handicap company, and not taken lightly. 0-10 but five seconds and a good 3rd last time; should run well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3/1 +70%) Golden Melody |
3/1(+70%) | (3) Golden Melody 3/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Haydock (8f, heavy) 19 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Others preferred. More fitful this year, now 14 starts without a win; good form chance on two 2nds in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (4/1 -78%) Dandy's Angel |
4/1(-78%) | (6) Dandy's Angel 4/1, Had a highly productive summer, scoring 4 times, latest a 10-runner handicap (11/2) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) last week. 5 lb penalty to carry now but another bold anticipated. Having a fine season with three 1m2f wins at Beverley and one over 1m1f at Carlisle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (10/1 -25%) Do I Dream |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Do I Dream 10/1, Latest win at Pontefract in April. 7/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 45 days ago, slowly away. Claims on best form. Both wins Pontefract 1m on softer than good; not proven beyond that; inconsistent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (14/1 -155%) Streetzoffilly |
14/1(-155%) | (7) Streetzoffilly 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 8/1) 14 days ago, faring best of those held up. Return to this longer trip will suit and warrants respect on handicap debut. Should be more interesting on this handicap debut over 1m1f; one to note. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (10/1 -54%) Centre Court |
10/1(-54%) | (2) Centre Court 10/1, Returned to form when creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago. 2 lb lower now and merits consideration. Close front-running fifth over C&D in May; needs to perform better than on last 3 starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (8/1 -78%) Alethiometer |
8/1(-78%) | (1) Alethiometer 8/1, Resumed winning ways at Ayr (7.2f) in June and back to that sort of form when third of 9 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 5/1) 13 days ago. Respected. All wins 7f but she ran creditably over 1m at Redcar on first and latest starts this term. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A few of these are old rivals and, while there was only a length separating Alethiometer (third) and Centre Court (fifth) over 1m at Redcar 13 days ago, it might be worth siding with GOLDEN MELODY, who runs off 4lb below her last wining mark despite hinting at a revival lately. Tim Easterby's mare was placed in each of her three previous visits to this course and she is dangerous to discount. Beverley winner Dandy's Angel is also respected under a 5lb penalty.
DANDY'S ANGEL has struck up a fine partnership with useful claimer Ryan Sexton, the pair registering their third victory together at Beverley last week. A 5 lb penalty may not prevent further success here. Anjo Bonita and Alethiometer can also make their presence felt.
The penalty is a stumbling block in theory but DANDY'S ANGEL has got the bit between her teeth at present and goes well for Ryan Sexton.

1st (3) (1.88/1 -50%) Gather Ye Rosebuds |
1.88/1(-50%) | (3) Gather Ye Rosebuds 1.88/1, Made an impressive winning debut at Newbury in April, but unsuited by conditions when 11½ lengths last of 8 to Soul Sister in Musidora Stakes at York (10.2f, good to firm, 15/2) next time. Can leave latest run behind to get off the mark. Wide-margin Newbury winner; last in York's Musidora Stakes since; worth another chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.25/1 +29%) Kingfisher King |
1.25/1(+29%) | (1) Kingfisher King 1.25/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 11-runner minor event at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 11/8) in May, staying on to lead near line. Gelded since and he's open to progress as he goes further up in trip. Won Salisbury novice in May; since gelded; sort to go on improving up in trip; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Maxident |
4.5/1(+10%) | (2) Maxident 4.5/1, Won at Leicester by a huge margin in April. However, unable to build on that effort on very different ground when fourth of 7 in minor event at Haydock (11.6f, good to firm, 11/4) 15 days later. Could get back on track. Won at Leicester before good Haydock fourth later in April; needs considering after break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/1 -47%) King Of The Plains |
11/1(-47%) | (4) King Of The Plains 11/1, Ran to a fairly useful level first 3 starts, but shaped as if amiss when pulled up in minor event at Doncaster (11.9f, firm, 3/1) 49 days ago. Bounce back called for. Fair form when placed on his first three starts but pulled up at Doncaster last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (125/1 -400%) Clash Of The Ash |
125/1(-400%) | (5) Clash Of The Ash 125/1, Went backwards from debut when eighth of 11 in minor event at this course (8.3f, good, 50/1) 36 days ago. Faces a stiff task upped significantly in trip, Only eighth in novice here last month; plenty to find on form over this much longer trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
GATHER YE ROSEBUDS hasn't been seen since a disappointing effort in the Musidora at York 100 days ago, having been fairly prominent in the betting, but she sets the standard here on her facile debut success at Newbury and could be difficult to beat on these terms. Maxident wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth behind the talented Gregory, to whom he conceded 6lb, and he is likely to be in the thick of things. Kingfisher King should not be far away either.
GATHER YE ROSEBUDS looked a smart prospect when winning by a wide margin at Newbury on debut and, having been unsuited by conditions in the Musidora next time, she can get back on track returned to softer ground. Kingfisher King should be suited by this step up in trip and is feared most, with Maxident the pick of the remainder.
William Haggas's improving son of Farhh KINGFISHER KING brings plenty of potential up in trip and he can follow up his Salisbury win

1st (3) (8/1 -7%) Postileo |
8/1(-7%) | (3) Postileo 8/1, Course winner in May. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Newbury (16.5f, good) 34 days ago. Down in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to get back on track. Course winner in May but well held at Newbury last month; cheekpieces are reached for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (15) (3.5/1 +53%) Paddy The Squire |
3.5/1(+53%) | (15) Paddy The Squire 3.5/1, Promising individual. 10/3, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Ayr (10f, heavy) 25 days ago. Likely to benefit from this step up in trip and leading claims for yard that landed this prize in 2017. On the up and scored at Ayr latest; more to offer over this longer trip; most interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (12/1 +14%) Faylaq |
12/1(+14%) | (11) Faylaq 12/1, Twenty-four runs since last win in 2019. Twelfth of 18 in handicap (18/1) at York (10.2f, good) 41 days ago. Looks vulnerable. In good nick for current yard until only 12th at York last month; sort to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3.5/1 +30%) Chillingham |
3.5/1(+30%) | (2) Chillingham 3.5/1, Promising sort. Latest win at Thirsk in April. 5/6, good second of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f, soft) 34 days ago, well positioned. Remains open to improvement and should make his presence felt. Won at Thirsk before beaten only a head at Ripon since: very much one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (14/1 -40%) Two Brothers |
14/1(-40%) | (14) Two Brothers 14/1, Latest win at Carlisle in June. 4/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at York (11.8f, good) 27 days ago. Place possibilities. Two-time winner this term and a solid York fifth latest; possibilities eased 1lb now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (40/1 -186%) Oneforthegutter |
40/1(-186%) | (8) Oneforthegutter 40/1, Latest win at Ascot in July. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, tailed-off sixth of 7 to City Streak in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to soft, 10/3) 28 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that display. Ended long losing run at Ascot but well-held sixth there later in July; much more required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (66/1 -200%) Matchless |
66/1(-200%) | (10) Matchless 66/1, Latest win at Doncaster in May. 9/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Others preferred. In winning form in early summer but not at his best of late; others appeal more.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (22/1 -57%) Dark Jedi |
22/1(-57%) | (6) Dark Jedi 22/1, Course winner. Below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good, 18/1) 13 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Given a chance by the assessor and shouldn't be far away. Course winner but he arrives below par; cheekpieces are reached for with more required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (22/1 -10%) Sir Chauvelin |
22/1(-10%) | (13) Sir Chauvelin 22/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark but opposable all the same. C&D winner but yet to make the frame in four runs this term; others with stronger claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (5.5/1 +39%) Struth |
5.5/1(+39%) | (7) Struth 5.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Ascot (12f, good) 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. Will be a threat if able to back that up for yard that also saddles Hadrianus. Won at Chester and has largely run well since; can go well again despite a 4lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (8/1 +43%) Geremia |
8/1(+43%) | (12) Geremia 8/1, Unreliable sort. Course winner. Latest win at Ayr in July. 8/1, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, heavy) 19 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip. Yard also saddles Faylaq and Sir Chauvelin. Has proved unreliable but enjoying a good run of form at present; one for the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (33/1 -83%) Hadrianus |
33/1(-83%) | (5) Hadrianus 33/1, 16/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (16.5f, good) 34 days ago. Needs to get back on track but edging down the weights (also down in trip here) and yard (when license was held by Charlie's father Mark) has saddled the winner of this race 4 times since 2011. Has shown some useful form this season but beat only one in a 2m Newbury handicap latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (7/1 -8%) Beraz |
7/1(-8%) | (9) Beraz 7/1, 10/3, won 5-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 52 days ago, readily. 5 lb rise tolerable but this is a much stronger race. Taken his form up a level for current yard, comfortable C&D winner latest; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (1) (22/1 -120%) Hidden Dimples |
22/1(-120%) | (1) Hidden Dimples 22/1, 22/1, 15¼ lengths eighth of 9 to Via Sistina in Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket (9f, soft) on UK debut. Off 110 days ahead of this handicap/stable debut and sports a first-time tongue strap. Fairly useful 11f Listed winner for Andre Fabre; not discounted for her new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
In a wide-open contest, only a tentative vote can go to CHILLINGHAM. Narrowly denied in the Bell-Ringer at Ripon, Ed Bethell's progressive gelding looks to be more than capable of making amends, so long as his wide draw doesn't prove a disadvantage. Sir Chauvelin (second) and Dark Jedi (fifth) are both well treated on their efforts in the corresponding event 12 months ago, while Struth and Beraz are just a couple of others to consider.
With this step up in trip expected to help unlock further improvement, unexposed 3-y-o PADDY THE SQUIRE gets the nod. A 5 lb rise for his latest success following a second wind op at Ayr looks fair and while conditions were testing that day, he proved that he handles better ground when runner-up on his penultimate start at Pontefract. Chillingham also has low mileage and is next on the list ahead of the Charlie Johnston-trained duo, Struth and Hadrianus (in order of preference), and City Streak.
Golden Horn colt PADDY THE SQUIRE looks a handicapper to follow and he can add to his stylish Ayr win on his first go over 1m4f here.

1st (5) (12/1 +14%) Never Dark |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Never Dark 12/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Last of 6 in handicap at this course (6f, good to soft, 20/1) 11 days ago, finding little. Needs a couple of these to falter. Yet to shine after a seven-month break; return to 5f won't hurt but others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4.5/1 -50%) Mojomaker |
4.5/1(-50%) | (2) Mojomaker 4.5/1, Acquitted himself well this term, latest when third of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Worth another crack at the minimum trip and must enter calculations. On losing run; usually seen over further and others are more persuasive in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5.5/1 +50%) Count D'orsay |
5.5/1(+50%) | (4) Count D'orsay 5.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chester in July. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to soft, 11/1) 7 days ago, merely closing up late. Others preferred. Two wins this summer, including C&D, but he's retreated into his shell more recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (1.88/1 +25%) Elegant Erin |
1.88/1(+25%) | (1) Elegant Erin 1.88/1, Four-time winner last season who has been shaping up well of late, going close at Pontefract (5f) before a good third in a stronger event over C&D earlier this month. Leading contender. Productive 2022 and she's looked better than ever despite being 0-4 this year; big chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (3.2/1 +36%) Sera Dawn |
3.2/1(+36%) | (7) Sera Dawn 3.2/1, Latest win at Catterick in April. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good, 2/1) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Others more persuasive. Good start to the campaign but beaten off similar marks on her last four starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (25/1 -108%) Sound Of Iona |
25/1(-108%) | (6) Sound Of Iona 25/1, Caught the eye when a never nearer fifth over this trip at Musselburgh in May and can have latest York run ignored (broke through stalls). Not out of things. On a good mark and penultimate start was promising; better ground would be preferable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (10/1 -233%) May Blossom |
10/1(-233%) | (3) May Blossom 10/1, Won handicaps at Nottingham and Newmarket over this trip last month. Never in hunt at Thirsk since but blinkers (applied for 2 victories) are back on and she remains fairly treated. Flopped in hat-trick bid latest (not well drawn); needs to leave that well behind her. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
ELEGANT ERIN has been threatening to land a class 2 contest of late and must hold every chance now dropped into these calmer waters. Paul Midgley's mare could take some stopping, with Mojomaker feared most. The Mehmas gelding ran one of his better races this season when beaten only a length at Windsor last month and could have a say if coping with a drop to 5f. Sera Dawn and May Blossom could feature too.
ELEGANT ERIN acquitted herself really well in a deeper contest here last time and is fancied to return to winning ways. May Blossom and Mojomaker are feared most.
She may have been beaten four times this year but ELEGANT ERIN (nap) has looked better than ever and she can defy top weight.

Your Spirit |
(7) (7/1 +30%)7/1(+30%) | (7) Your Spirit 7/1, Again ran creditably when second of 4 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to soft, 2/1) 17 days ago. Still looking for her first win, but she can be thereabouts once more having been eased further in the weights. Still to register a victory but she comes here in good nick; can go well again eased 1lb. |

1st (4) (3.33/1 +49%) Cavalier Approach |
3.33/1(+49%) | (4) Cavalier Approach 3.33/1, Opened account at Newcastle in May. 10/1, reared leaving stalls and unseated rider in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 63 days ago. Back down in grade on first run for yard after leaving Ruth Carr. Won at Newcastle in May and has kept his form well since; one to consider. |

2nd (9) (28/1 -12%) Burtonlodge Beauty |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Burtonlodge Beauty 28/1, Only success came when causing a 50/1 upset in this corresponding event last year. However, hasn't offered much so far this season, eighth of 10 in handicap (100/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 13 days ago. C&D scorer but she arrives out of sorts; she's hard to make a case for. |

3rd (1) (2.5/1 +0%) Glorious Rio |
2.5/1(+0%) | (1) Glorious Rio 2.5/1, Winner of this corresponding race in 2021. One of season's better efforts when short-head second of 10 to Wee Fat Mac in handicap (5/1) at Ayr (5f, good) 13 days ago. Could be ready to take advantage of his reduced mark. Very good second at Ayr 13 days ago; took this in 2021 so merits serious consideration. |

4th (2) (4.5/1 -100%) Wee Fat Mac |
4.5/1(-100%) | (2) Wee Fat Mac 4.5/1, Successful at Ayr earlier this month. Off just 3 days, not discredited when fourth of 10 in handicap (2/1) at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago. Can give another good account. Won at Ayr and solid fourth at Newcastle latest; must enter calculations off 2lb lower. |

5th (5) (11/1 -120%) Stallone |
11/1(-120%) | (5) Stallone 11/1, Made it back-to-back wins when scoring at Southwell in June. 17/2, again left poorly placed when seventh of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Could fare better. Two-time 5f AW scorer and not seen to best effect both starts since; in the picture. |

6th (6) (5/1 +17%) Stormy Pearl |
5/1(+17%) | (6) Stormy Pearl 5/1, Successful at this C&D in July. Not in the same form when fifth of 7 in handicap back here (6f, good, 9/2) 36 days ago, but she's not one to write off given that she had won on both of her previous course visits. C&D winner before only fifth here later in July; she still can't be ruled out. |

7th (8) (28/1 -27%) Nodsasgoodasawink |
28/1(-27%) | (8) Nodsasgoodasawink 28/1, Twenty-two runs since last win in 2021. Again below form when 4½ lengths eighth of 10 to Wee Fat Mac in handicap at Ayr (5f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago. Best watched. Winless since 2021 and her recent form is less than encouraging too. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Although GLORIOUS RIO just failed to get up at Ayr recently, he rarely runs a bad race at this venue and Stella Barclay's charge may be able to shrug off a 2lb rise. Wee Fat Mac returns to turf after a solid fourth at Newcastle last Tuesday and could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Your Spirit, who arrives in good heart judged on recent efforts in defeat.
GLORIOUS RIO took another step back in the right direction when narrowly denied at Ayr last time and he can return to winning ways this time around. He is taken to reverse the form with Wee Fat Mac from when the pair met 13 days ago, while Your Spirit can also get involved again after a further drop in the weights.
A few with chances but GLORIOUS RIO won this prize in 2021 and comes here on the back of a very good Ayr second so he gets the verdict
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.
