Races & Results Thursday 6th June 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(3) Diamand De Vindecy 15/2, Fair winner at up to 15f on the Flat in France and ran to a similar level when staying on for second at Ripon (2m, heavy) in April. Possibly failed for stamina back over hurdles at Uttoxeter (23.3f) since and not discounted returned to this sphere. Soundly beaten over hurdles last month but prior to that he went close on the Flat.
2
2nd (2) (9/2 -13%) It's All About You
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(2) It's All About You 9/2, Didn't kick on as expected as a 3-y-o but eased in weights and ran creditably both starts for new stable this term, fourth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good) 12 days ago, keeping until last ½f. Has first crack at 2m now. Encouraging performances on both runs for new yard and is edging down the weights.
4
3rd (4) (20/1 -567%) Corsican Caper
20
20/1(-567%)
(4) Corsican Caper 20/1, Course winner who arrives in fine form, winning 3 of his last 5 starts, and proved better than ever when close second of 8 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to soft) 10 days ago, slowly away. Very much of interest again on this first crack at 2m. Three wins in second half of the spring; could do with slow ground.
5
4th (5) (13/2 -8%) Scylla
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(5) Scylla 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 5 months, failed to meet expectations when fourth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good, 7/2) 26 days ago, pushed along early in straight and beaten 2f out. Remains early days at least, including at this trip, so interesting if the market speaks in her favour again. Hasn't threatened in her two 1m6f handicaps but she looks a good prospect for 2m.
1
5th (1) (80/1 -3456%) Animato
80
80/1(-3456%)
(1) Animato 80/1, Represents a yard going well and having ended a losing run at Catterick (15.9f), he followed up from 2 lb higher mark at Chester (15.9f, soft) 12 days ago, leading final 100 yds. Rider's claim more than off-sets rise and big player again. Won twice last month and going back up weights only slowly.
14:05 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Corsican Caper has progressed since the start of the turf season and warrants serious thought trying 2m for the first time. Similar comments apply to It's All About You, who has run well in both previous starts for his current yard and is a potential improver over this new trip. However, having gone down by just half a length at Ripon in April, the dual-purpose DIAMAND DE VINDECY has the more proven stamina and looks worth chancing back on the Flat from a highly competitive mark.
A winner over shorter here on his penultimate start, CORSICAN CAPER was arguably undone by a slow start when going down narrowly at Leicester 10 days ago and he looks to hold sound claims once more. Animato is also thriving and he's the chief danger in his hat-trick bid.
The lightly raced SCYLLA could relish the step up to 2m and she earns the vote ahead of Animato, who is on a hat-trick.
(5) Dubai Bling 33/1, Foaled March 15. €50,000 foal, £80,000 yearling, Dark Angel colt. Dam, 8.6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Crazy Horse. Makes appeal on paper and worth monitoring in the betting for positive vibes. Yard also saddle Arabian Cobra. Check betting on debut but yard's chief hope may be stand-out form candidate Arabian Cobra.
13
2nd (13) (200/1 -203%) U Sure Do
200
200/1(-203%)
(13) U Sure Do 200/1, Foaled March 3. Kodiac colt. Half-brother to smart winner up to 9.5f Meteoric and 2-y-o 7f winner High Waves. Dam, 11f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Cap O'Rushes. Half-brother to three winners but trainer's 2yos usually need their debut outings.
4
3rd (4) (20/1 -11%) Conscript
20
20/1(-11%)
(4) Conscript 20/1, Foaled January 16. €75,000 yearling, Soldier's Call colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Done Deal and useful 6f winner Isaan Queen. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Luck Money. Noteworthy newcomer for very good yard. Useful pedigree; trainer has impressive 6-21 (29%) record with 2yos here in last 5 years.
12
4th (12) (33/1 -18%) Tiger Mask
33
33/1(-18%)
(12) Tiger Mask 33/1, Foaled April 14. €35,000 foal, €110,000 yearling, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Swot. Dam maiden (probably stayed 1m) half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Kehaar. One of 3 runners from this yard and another warranting a market check on racecourse bow for clues. 110,000euros yearling; one of three debutants for the stable; monitor the betting.
2
5th (2) (100/1 -2400%) Arabian Cobra
100
100/1(-2400%)
(2) Arabian Cobra 100/1, Dark Angel colt who finished midfield in last month's Lily Agnes on debut but took a sizeable step forward when second of 11 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, worn down final 50 yds. Experience likely to count for plenty here and good shout. Went very close at Windsor on second start and holds leading claims on the back of that.
15
6th (15) (40/1 -1500%) Veydari
40
40/1(-1500%)
(15) Veydari 40/1, Foaled March 13. 200,000 gns 2-y-o, Hello Youmzain colt. Half-brother to useful 10.5f-1½m winner Verimli and 1¼m winner Jumeirah Beach. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1½m-15f winner Verema. Expensive breeze-up acquisition who is well worth a look on debut. 200,000gns breeze-ups; Wathnan Racing's 2yos are flying and so are Richard Fahey's runners.
11
7th (11) (33/1 -65%) Qaseem
33
33/1(-65%)
(11) Qaseem 33/1, Foaled April 28. £60,000 2-y-o, Acclamation colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Even Keel and 8.6f winner Dew You Believe. Dam once-raced half-sister to useful 5f-7f winner Zero Money. Betting should unearth clues on debut. Leading northern trainer saddles three newcomers; the market could guide.
10
8th (10) (100/1 -733%) Patrol
100
100/1(-733%)
(10) Patrol 100/1, €165,000 yearling, Dark Angel colt. 15/2, held back by inexperience when last of 8 in novice event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 18 days ago, weakening when running green entering final 1f. In good hands and this should reveal more. Finished last on debut at Newmarket but in warm race; he's in excellent hands to improve.
9
9th (9) (100/1 -809%) Our Mighty Mo
100
100/1(-809%)
(9) Our Mighty Mo 100/1, Foaled May 9. £40,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Dam maiden (stayed 7f) half-sister to German 7f/1m winner Mi Emma and 1m winner Anna's Pearl (both smart). Excellent yard operating at 28% with their juveniles on turf so far this term. Respected. One of three newcomers for top northern yard and the betting could be informative.
1
10th (1) (22/1 -340%) Against The Wind
22
22/1(-340%)
(1) Against The Wind 22/1, £60,000 yearling, Earthlight colt. Half-brother to 5f/6f winner Saatty. Promising start (displayed plenty of speed) when sixth of 11 in class 2 novice event at York (5f, good) on debut 22 days ago. That experience won't have been wasted on him and he's respected. Showed ability on debut at York; open to improvement but needs sizeable step forward.
6
11th (6) (250/1 -279%) Green Pursuit
250
250/1(-279%)
(6) Green Pursuit 250/1, Foaled April 3. €65,000 yearling, Arizona colt. Closely related to 7f-1m winner Silken Ladder. Yard 1-11 with their juveniles on turf in recent seasons and he's likely best watched. Closely related to useful 7f/1m winner Silken Ladder but may be one for further down line.
8
12th (8) (80/1 -700%) Mukaber
80
80/1(-700%)
(8) Mukaber 80/1, Foaled May 18. 115,000 gns yearling, 115,000 gns 2-y-o, No Nay Never colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m winner Shibori. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 5f winner G Force. Bred to be an early sort and well worth a look. Withdrawn after being unruly in stalls on intended debut, May 2. 17-2 when rearing in stalls & withdrawn from intended debut; yard does well with 2yos here.
14
13th (14) (300/1 -355%) Vesperado
300
300/1(-355%)
(14) Vesperado 300/1, Foaled March 3. 4,000 gns yearling, Oasis Dream gelding. Brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Fragrance and half-brother to 7f winner Smart Vision. 4,000gns yearling; makes debut with trainer among winners but others preferred.
7
14th (7) (66/1 -164%) Middleton View
66
66/1(-164%)
(7) Middleton View 66/1, Bated Breath colt who is quite speedily-bred but fairly low-key start when seventeenth of 20 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good) on debut 20 days ago. This promises to reveal more. Well beaten at 25-1 on last month's debut but there's plenty of potential in his pedigree.
3
15th (3) (300/1 -100%) Backer Bilk
300
300/1(-100%)
(3) Backer Bilk 300/1, Ulysses gelding. 150/1, last of 9 in maiden at Leicester (6f, soft) on debut 9 days ago, very slowly away and beaten before halfway. Can only be watched on the back of that. Tailed off at 150-1 on recent debut at Leicester.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Arabian Cobra showed marked improvement from his debut with a second-placed finish in a decent novice stakes at Windsor 12 days ago and should be a key player with another step forward. However, there are several interesting newcomers to consider, with CONSCRIPT, a half-brother to a Listed race winner over this trip, shading preference on debut for a yard doing well with juveniles this season. Dubai Bling and the Karl Burke-trained pair, Qaseem and Tiger Mask, are others to monitor in the betting.
Strong support behind a debutant will look significant but ARABIAN COBRA took a marked step forward on his debut run in the Lily Agnes when finishing runner-up at Windsor 12 days ago, pulling clear of the remainder, and his experience edge over the majority ought to count for a good deal. Newcomer Mukaber is very much of interest (holds Group 2 entry) and he needs considering. Against the Wind, who ran well on his York debut, and expensive breeze-up acquisition Veydari are others to consider.
Arabian Cobra sets a strong form standard but preference is for VEYDARI for Wathnan Racing, whose 2yos have been excelling.
(2) Solar Aclaim , Fairly useful performer at his best but well beaten back on these shores/following 11 weeks off when eighth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm, 20/1) 19 days ago, weakening 1f out. This should reveal more. Hasn't kicked on but could rediscover last autumn's promise when returned to slow ground.
8
(8) (9/2 +0%) Nariko
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(8) Nariko 9/2, Made final start for Kevin Ryan a winning one at Kempton in September and built on opening efforts for new yard when winning 15-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago, keeping on well. Up 7 lb but that may not prove her limit. Convincing recent win over C&D on soft; different ground likely today but still respected.
4
1st (4) (9/4 +44%) Cool Dividend
2.25
9/4(+44%)
(4) Cool Dividend 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, excellent second of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm) 19 days ago, no match for winner. Can go well again. Runner-up on three of his four starts and he's in good hands to continue to improve.
6
2nd (6) (11/2 +15%) Run Boy Run
5.5
11/2(+15%)
(6) Run Boy Run 11/2, Off 5 months/gelded, made hard work of justifying cramped odds when off the mark in a Newcastle maiden (6f) in March. Far from disgraced when midfield in big-field 6/7f handicaps at Newmarket both starts since and not discounted with cheekpieces enlisted for the first time. Not beaten far when 7th in big fields the last twice; the cheekpieces may eke out extra.
9
3rd (9) (16/1 +43%) Smart Vision
16
16/1(+43%)
(9) Smart Vision 16/1, Seemingly had plenty in hand when making all on handicap bow at Newcastle (7.1f) in February but not matched that level on AW/turf since, held back by failure to settle. Well-run race back at 6f ought to see him in a better light. Suffered early interference when mid-division at York; should be capable of better.
7
4th (7) (6/1 -33%) The Good Biscuit
6
6/1(-33%)
(7) The Good Biscuit 6/1, Dual 6f winner at 2yrs who was gelded following his final start and returned with a very good second of 6 in handicap at Leicester (6f) 10 days ago. That effort was backed up by the clock and he's worth considering off the same mark. Reappeared with close second in Leicester handicap ten days ago and could be in the mix.
5
5th (5) (10/1 +29%) Tsunami Spirit
10
10/1(+29%)
(5) Tsunami Spirit 10/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good, 12/1) 29 days ago, weakening inside final 1f having done too much too soon. Others more persuasive on balance. Form of Kempton second has been franked and he may not have taken to Chester last time.
1
6th (1) (8/1 -33%) Beyond Borders
8
8/1(-33%)
(1) Beyond Borders 8/1, Successful 4 times during a very productive juvenile campaign and stepped up with each outing so far this spring, sound effort aided by a good position when fourth of 14 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good) 29 days ago, running on. Respected down in class. Close fourth at Chester last month and every chance he'll be thereabouts once more.
10
7th (10) (12/1 +0%) Welcome Dream
12
12/1(+0%)
(10) Welcome Dream 12/1, Fairly useful form when placed on 3 of his 4 starts at 2yrs. Respectable third on return at Newcastle (7f) in February but looked a hard ride (refused to settle/hung badly right) when well beaten in 1m maiden here in April. Needs to get back on track switched to handicaps/returned to sprinting. The drop back to sprinting and return to better ground could bear fruit on handicap debut.
11
8th (11) (25/1 -108%) Pearl Abbey
25
25/1(-108%)
(11) Pearl Abbey 25/1, Soldier's Call filly who displayed promise only start at 2 yrs and better for reappearance when winning 6-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 82 days ago, keeping on well. Open to further improvement now handicapping back on turf. Won Wolverhampton maiden in March and has potential off her opening mark.
15:05 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
NARIKO blitzed a mark of 71 with a comfortable success over C&D last month and could still be heavily underestimated off a 7lb higher mark. Admittedly, this is a deeper race and the likes of Beyond Borders and Cool Dividend provide stiffer competition, with the latter suggested as the biggest threat to the selection after a close second at Doncaster 19 days ago. The Good Biscuit is also feared.
A dual winner as a 2-y-o, THE GOOD BISCUIT posted a career-best effort back from 10 months off (also gelded) when runner-up at Leicester 10 days ago and appealing as the type who could progress further, he shades the vote operating from the same mark. Nariko, a good winner over C&D 12 days ago, is feared along with Cool Dividend. Run Boy Run is another worth a second look equipped with first-time cheekpieces.
Bottomweight PEARL ABBEY could be on a good mark for her handicap debut judged on her comfortable maiden win at Wolverhampton.
(12) Secret Mistral 18/1, Course winner. 17/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 159 days. Needs a couple of these to falter. Conditions will suit and on a fair mark; absent since December though & other pace on show.
2
2nd (2) (9/1 -64%) Thunder Star
9
9/1(-64%)
(2) Thunder Star 9/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Ascot (5f, good) 36 days ago. Not taken lightly. C&D winner; edging back down the weights and has a major shout.
4
3rd (4) (22/1 -10%) The Waiting Game
22
22/1(-10%)
(4) The Waiting Game 22/1, 7/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 173 days. Can give a good account. Success story for yard last year, winning 5 on the spin; 5f should be fine; off 173 days.
6
4th (6) (66/1 -230%) Soul Seeker
66
66/1(-230%)
(6) Soul Seeker 66/1, C&D winner. 22/1, last of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 42 days ago so needs to bounce back. C&D win last autumn off 1lb lower; badly out of sorts so far this year though.
11
5th (11) (33/1 -32%) Buraback
33
33/1(-32%)
(11) Buraback 33/1, 4 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Leicester in April. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 12/1) 8 days ago so needs to get back on track. Four wins since March but well beaten off this mark last week and others look stronger.
9
6th (9) (22/1 -214%) Habooba
22
22/1(-214%)
(9) Habooba 22/1, Winner at Lingfield in December. Below form eleventh of 26 in handicap (8/1) at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time now. Just 1-13 but appeals as being well treated if new trip & headgear have a positive effect.
7
7th (7) (50/1 -456%) Paddy's Day
50
50/1(-456%)
(7) Paddy's Day 50/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 7/2) 15 days ago. In the mix once more. Good second at Ayr two weeks ago, finishing just in front of Match Play; each-way shout.
5
8th (5) (7/1 +0%) Gemini Star
7
7/1(+0%)
(5) Gemini Star 7/1, Hinted at a revival when fifth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Enters calculations. Not beaten far over 6f last month but she needs more for the application of cheekpieces.
8
9th (8) (66/1 -1100%) Match Play
66
66/1(-1100%)
(8) Match Play 66/1, C&D winner. 9/2, best run this term when third of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Holds good claims at these weights. C&D winner last June; solid effort at Ayr two weeks ago and should make another bold bid.
1
10th (1) (15/2 -15%) Grace Angel
7.5
15/2(-15%)
(1) Grace Angel 15/2, C&D winner. Very good second of 11 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 22/1) 17 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Latest Windsor second was a fine effort and she's a key player off the same mark.
10
11th (10) (14/1 +13%) Bayraat
14
14/1(+13%)
(10) Bayraat 14/1, 13/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f). Off 8 months with work to do. Several good runs in sprint handicaps last year, including C&D; returns from 8-month break.
13
12th (13) (28/1 -100%) Astapor
28
28/1(-100%)
(13) Astapor 28/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 8-runner handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 13/2) 20 days ago, always holding on. Needs considering despite a 3 lb rise. Four wins last year & off the mark in 2024 at Hamilton last month; this is much tougher.
3
13th (3) (80/1 -264%) Running Cool
80
80/1(-264%)
(3) Running Cool 80/1, 33/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, not knocked about. Shortlisted. Two wins in Ireland last June; yet to shine for new stable but dropping in the weights.
15:35 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
An open event in which only a tentative vote can go to GRACE ANGEL, who bounced back to form with a good second at Windsor last month. Darryll Holland's filly is now 6lb lower than when winning over C&D in June of last year, so she ought to hold every chance if building on that most recent effort. Paddy's Day (second) finished half a length in front of Match Play (third) at Ayr 15 days ago and both look set to be on the premises once again, while others to note include Astapor and Thunder Star.
A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for C&D winner MATCH PLAY who signalled he is ready to go in again at Ayr. Gemini Star is next on the list, especially if first-time cheekpieces eke out some improvement. Paddy's Day, Grace Angel and Thunder Star all need factoring in too.
This should be fast and furious and THUNDER STAR (nap) can exploit today's drop in grade. Match Play is feared most.
(10) Power Of Destiny 17/2, Sea The Stars filly. Plenty of encouragement when third of 10 in minor event (12/1) at Salisbury (9.9f, heavy) on debut 21 days ago, making steady headway from 3f out and no extra only late on. Highly likely to progress for top stable. Sea The Stars filly; promising third at Salisbury, doing best of the newcomers; in the mix.
2
2nd (2) (20/1 +0%) Cabrera
20
20/1(+0%)
(2) Cabrera 20/1, Phoenix of Spain filly who showed promise when fourth on debut at Newcastle (1m) in March and unlucky to bump into a useful sort when second of 7 in minor event at Wetherby (10f, soft) 39 days ago. Remains open to further improvement. No match for useful winner at Wetherby last time; more is required to win this race.
4
3rd (4) (25/1 +0%) Consuelo
25
25/1(+0%)
(4) Consuelo 25/1, Stoutly bred filly who shaped like she'd improve for the experience when tenth of 12 in minor event (12/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut in October. Step up in trip rates a plus on return and better to come as a 3-y-o. Seemed to need her sole 2yo outing; should improve this term.
8
4th (8) (66/1 -200%) Lady La Fay
66
66/1(-200%)
(8) Lady La Fay 66/1, Camelot filly. 11/2, offered something to work on when third of 7 in minor event at Wetherby (10f, soft) on debut 39 days ago. Should improve. One place behind Cabrera at Wetherby on debut; open to improvement.
14
5th (14) (150/1 -127%) Top Spin Lob
150
150/1(-127%)
(14) Top Spin Lob 150/1, Iffraaj filly. Dam lightly-raced sister to 7f-1¼m winner (stayed 11f) Emman Bee and half-sister to smart 1¼m winner (stayed 12.5f) Cannonball. Wears hood. Iffraaj filly; wears hood on debut; market can guide.
13
6th (13) (50/1 -257%) Taramasalata
50
50/1(-257%)
(13) Taramasalata 50/1, Too Darn Hot filly who displayed definite signs of ability despite inexperience when fifth of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) on debut 50 days ago. Likely improver with that under her belt but this looks a warm race. Showed ability in 1m maiden at Newmarket's Craven meeting; may improve.
9
7th (9) (9/1 -64%) Lasting Love
9
9/1(-64%)
(9) Lasting Love 9/1, Solid start when third on debut at Doncaster (7f) in September and enhanced her form when filling same spot on return in a Newbury maiden (10f) in April. Seemed to find step up in grade coming too soon when last of 6 in Cheshire Oaks since and she remains likely to do better still. Hood on. Ran respectably on bare figures in the Cheshire Oaks; big player back down in class.
7
8th (7) (150/1 -200%) Implacable
150
150/1(-200%)
(7) Implacable 150/1, Churchill filly. Promise on both starts to date, staying on gradually to finish in midfield on return in 12-runner Nottingham novice (10.2f) 16 days ago. Open to further improvement, particularly when tackling handicaps. Likely to be more interesting in handicaps shortly.
6
9th (6) (11/1 -144%) Faifa
11
11/1(-144%)
(6) Faifa 11/1, Makes plenty of appeal on paper and shaped with abundant promise despite not enjoying anything like a clear passage when fourth of 10 in minor event at Salisbury (9.9f, heavy) on debut 21 days ago. Type to do much better and well worth considering here. Galileo filly who showed ability at Salisbury and is likely to progress; one to consider.
11
10th (11) (11/10 +45%) Queen Of Soldiers
1.1
11/10(+45%)
(11) Queen Of Soldiers 11/10, €380,000 yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Made a promising start to career when second of 6 in 10f Ascot maiden 4 weeks ago, challenging final 1f and running on. Holds a Ribblesdale entry and with improvement expected, she's expected to feature. Ribblesdale entry; showed major promise in Ascot maiden, going very close; respected.
12
11th (12) (100/1 -400%) Skyreach
100
100/1(-400%)
(12) Skyreach 100/1, Siyouni filly. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) who stayed 1¾m. Represents leading yard but they may well hold stronger claims with Faifa on this occasion. First foal of a 1m4f G3 winner for her stable; the second-string on jockey arrangements.

12th (1) (300/1 -200%) Somebodycomegether
300
300/1(-200%)
(1) Somebodycomegether 300/1, Outstrip filly. Dam 1m-9.3f winner. Showed a bit making belated debut when fourth of 7 in minor event (150/1) at Wetherby (10f, soft) on debut 39 days ago but she's probably one for handicaps further down the line. Modest fourth, behind two of these rivals, at Wetherby on belated debut.
5
13th (5) (125/1 -279%) Drusilla
125
125/1(-279%)
(5) Drusilla 125/1, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner L'enclume. Dam, 11.6f winner, closely related to winner up to 1m Whipper and winner up to 10.5f Divine Proportions (both high-class). Betting should prove a useful guide on debut. Saxon Warrior half-sister to a 1m4f AW winner for her connections; check the betting.
16:05 Haydock Maiden (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Queen Of Soldiers holds an entry in the Ribblesdale and commands plenty of respect having been narrowly denied on her racecourse bow at Ascot. Lasting Love and Power Of Destiny are also noted, but FAIFA gets the nod. The daughter of Galileo is entitled to have come on a bundle for her run at Salisbury on debut last month and she might represent a bit a value for her powerful Newmarket-based yard.
QUEEN OF SOLDIERS made a very promising start to her career when just touched off in an Ascot maiden over this sort of trip 4 weeks ago and Roger Varian's Ribblesdale entry is fancied to build on that and make another bold bid. Faifa, following her very promising debut fourth at Salisbury, and Lasting Love are others fancied to feature.
Several runners are interesting in this strong-looking maiden. Top of the list is Ribblesdale entry QUEEN OF SOLDIERS.
(5) Bear Rock 500/1, Fascinating Rock filly. Dam unraced. Others appeal more. First foal; unraced dam out of 6f 2yo winner; probably best watched in warm race on debut.
2
1st (2) (5/2 -11%) Forever Blue
2.5
5/2(-11%)
(2) Forever Blue 5/2, Promising sort. Course winner on debut. 3½ lengths fifth of 6 to Darnation in Prestige Stakes at Goodwood (7f, heavy, 10/3) next time. Off 9 months. Sets a good standard. Considerable promise on heavy/soft on both 2yo starts (won here); leading form claims.
11
2nd (11) (12/1 -71%) Upscale
12
12/1(-71%)
(11) Upscale 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 10/3, last of 11 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, soft) 41 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Promise on sole 2yo start; excuses on return in April; 1st-time hood could help her settle.
1
3rd (1) (4/1 +11%) Not Real
4
4/1(+11%)
(1) Not Real 4/1, Readily won 7-runner minor event (1/5) at Redcar (6f, soft) 35 days ago. Should have more to offer. Easy win at Redcar on second start; this is tougher but she may well be up to the task.
10
4th (10) (15/2 +32%) Tareefa
7.5
15/2(+32%)
(10) Tareefa 15/2, Night of Thunder filly. Closely related to 3 winners, including very smart 1m-1¼m winner Nezwaah and useful 7f/1m winner Bashosh. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner. Newcomers from yard often fancied. Closely related to Group 1 winner Nezwaah, among others; could be live contender on debut.
6
5th (6) (125/1 -213%) Dazitoo
125
125/1(-213%)
(6) Dazitoo 125/1, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to winner up to 8.6f Sweet Bertie. Dam, winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner), half-sister to smart 6f winner Aeolus. No forlorn hope. 16-1 when withdrawn from last month's intended debut; others are more compelling.
8
6th (8) (50/1 -355%) Haute Couture
50
50/1(-355%)
(8) Haute Couture 50/1, Kingman filly. Half-sister to high-class 1m-10.5f winner Decorated Knight and 1m winner Ambrosia. Noteworthy newcomer. Half-sister to Group 1 winner Decorated Knight; one to be interested in on debut.
7
7th (7) (25/1 -79%) Eranthis
25
25/1(-79%)
(7) Eranthis 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/8, fifth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 8 months but not ruled out. Promising debut here last September; disappointing next time but she retains potential.
4
8th (4) (40/1 -21%) Arctic Sunrise
40
40/1(-21%)
(4) Arctic Sunrise 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 11/10, fourth of 8 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, heavy) on debut. Off 8 months. Should progress. Well-beaten fourth on sole 2yo start but could be entirely different proposition today.
9
9th (9) (66/1 -136%) Mystical Maria
66
66/1(-136%)
(9) Mystical Maria 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in minor event at York (7.9f, good, 66/1) 20 days ago. Needs to build on it. Has shown ability and can win races but others have more substance to their claims.
12
10th (12) (100/1 -733%) Winning Point
100
100/1(-733%)
(12) Winning Point 100/1, 320,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 1m/8.6f winner Global Hero and smart 6f winner Meraas. Dam won 1m Park Express Stakes and runner-up in Irish 1000 Guineas. Well worth a market check. 320,000gns yearling; represents highly respected yard and brings potential to debut.
3
11th (3) (16/1 -33%) Al Thariyaat
16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Al Thariyaat 16/1, Dubawi filly. Half-sister to smart 1¼m winner Al Asifah. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 10.5f, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Awtaad. Considered. Dubawi filly; bred to be useful and it will be no surprise to see a big run on debut.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having finished fifth in a Group 3 at Goodwood in late August, FOREVER BLUE makes plenty of appeal on her return to action in these calmer waters. Ralph Beckett's filly should take all beating if performing to the same level and she edges the vote over last month's Redcar scorer Not Real. The daughter of Kodiac is heading in the right direction and she isn't taken lightly upped in distance, while any market support for newcomer Tareefa would be interesting.
The market should reveal plenty but Ralph Beckett's FOREVER BLUE possesses much the best form on offer and is taken to make a winning return with her yard going well. Redcar scorer Not Real is next on the list, although newcomers Haute Couture, Winning Point and Tareefa are all in excellent hands and need monitoring in the betting.
Redcar winner NOT REAL is a very bright prospect and is taken to defy a 7lb penalty. Newcomer Winning Point may be the main danger.
(6) Sedgemoor 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 9/2) 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs to step forward at these weights. Tough tasks on first 2 starts; creditable 4th on AW (7f) latest; handicap debut.
2
2nd (2) (13/2 +0%) Gundogan
6.5
13/2(+0%)
(2) Gundogan 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/4 and hooded for 1st time, second of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (6f), no match for winner. Off 7 months but much respected on his handicap debut. All races at 6f, showed promise on debut and final start; fitness and trip query on return.
3
3rd (3) (9/2 -13%) Woodleigh
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(3) Woodleigh 9/2, Much improved to get off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, soft) 7 days ago. Scored comfortably there so big shout under a 6 lb penalty. Kept to 6f on good to soft/slower in handicaps so far, impressive last week; 3lb well in.
4
4th (4) (8/1 -33%) Alfie Boy
8
8/1(-33%)
(4) Alfie Boy 8/1, 5/1, cosily landed 10-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, soft) 9 days ago. Very much one to consider despite shouldering a 6 lb penalty. Much improved when ready 7f winner on soft last week; 6lb penalty on different ground.
1
5th (1) (100/1 -2400%) Arnaz
100
100/1(-2400%)
(1) Arnaz 100/1, Promising type. 2/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Carries 6 lb penalty but should improve again and is well in the mix. Good late work to win 7f handicap debut at Brighton; 1lb badly in under penalty; improve.
5
6th (5) (80/1 -400%) Triggerman
80
80/1(-400%)
(5) Triggerman 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, excellent fourth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 34 days ago. In the picture. Best form at 6f on AW but promising reappearance and likely to stay 7f.
10
7th (10) (22/1 +0%) Noble Consort
22
22/1(+0%)
(10) Noble Consort 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 91 days. Respected on his turf debut. Two fair runs in 7f handicaps on Newcastle AW; needs to improve for switch to turf.
9
8th (9) (100/1 -900%) Glam Squad
100
100/1(-900%)
(9) Glam Squad 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 19 in minor event (28/1) at Newbury (7f, good) 20 days ago. Makes handicap debut with plenty more required. Low expectations at Newmarket and Newbury; much more realistic now handicapping.
8
9th (8) (100/1 -733%) Bonaventure
100
100/1(-733%)
(8) Bonaventure 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 33/1) 51 days ago so needs to bounce back. Promise on Polytrack; creditable 4th in 7f Newmarket handicap latest; down in grade.
7
10th (7) (66/1 -120%) Half Moon Rising
66
66/1(-120%)
(7) Half Moon Rising 66/1, 11/2, pulled hard when below-par fourth of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 34 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Maiden who was suited by 7f as a 2yo but made low-key reappearance in May.
17:10 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This may be fought out between the three penalised winners in Arnaz, Alfie Boy and WOODLEIGH, with the latter fancied to complete a double. Declan Carroll's inmate opened his account in convincing fashion at Ripon last week and there should be more to come, especially being 3lb well-in under a penalty. The aforementioned Arnaz, who scored a shade cosily at Brighton recently, may give the selection most to think about, while Redcar scorer Alfie Boy must prove his effectiveness on a sounder surface.
WOODLEIGH took his form up a level when opening his account at Ripon and still looks ahead of his mark despite saddling a 6 lb penalty here. Arnaz also arrives on the back of a recent victory at Brighton and is next on the list ahead of handily-weighted Triggerman and Redcar scorer Alfie Boy.
The penalised Woodleigh, Alfie Boy and ARNAZ are all respected but the last-named has less to prove regarding the ground.

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
