1st (7)  (17/2 -42%)Cloud King |
17/2(-42%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cloud King 17/2, His 2 best efforts have come at Southwell, winning 5f handicap in March. Just fourth in weaker 6-runner 3-y-o Windsor handicap on Monday and more needed here. Fair fourth of sixth at Windsor on Monday; the likely strong pace will boost his claims. |
|||
2nd (4)  (9/1 +10%)Vince L'amour |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Vince L'amour 9/1, Bagged a pair of 5f/6f handicaps in the mud in April and good efforts behind Due For Luck at Chester and Epsom subsequently. Unable to lead at York last time. Wouldn't dismiss. Getting away from York could be a plus; two wins this year and might not be far away. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/2 +13%)Curious Rover |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Curious Rover 7/2, Enjoyed a productive 2-y-o campaign, including a C&D success, and good efforts this term when fifth behind Due For Luck at Epsom and third to Copper Knight at Chester last time. Respected. C&D winner who has run well in defeat the last twice and can give another good account. |
|||
4th (2)  (9/2 -29%)Fool's Gold |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fool's Gold 9/2, Won 6f Windsor maiden in September before struggling behind Big Evs on softer ground in the Flying Childers. Gelded since last seen and remains with potential now handicapping at 3 yrs. One win from his three 2yo starts; market check advised on handicap and seasonal debut. |
|||
5th (1)  (5/1 -150%)Due For Luck |
5/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Due For Luck 5/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs and looked unlucky not to land a hot Chester (5.1f) handicap on return, finishing with a flourish. Good third in the 3YO "Dash" at Epsom (again strong form) 5 weeks ago and leading claims down in class. Third in the 3yo Dash at Epsom last month and holds strong claims now back down in grade. |
|||
6th (6)  (100/1 -1150%)Lady Pink Rose |
100/1(-1150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lady Pink Rose 100/1, Won 5f Beverley maiden a year ago but has been well held all 4 starts this season. Drops back in trip from reduced mark now. The drop back down to 5f could trigger a revival but her claims aren't overly compelling. |
|||
7th (5)  (100/1 -900%)Moonstone Boy |
100/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Moonstone Boy 100/1, Winner at Southwell in March and good seconds there and at Thirsk the next twice. Progression looks to have levelled off but his mark has dipped as a result and he has the services of the yard's 5 lb claimer for the first time here. Runner-up twice in a row in the spring and now 4lb lower, but not at the same level since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The pecking order among the current crop of three-year-old sprinters is working out nicely and it would come as no surprise to see DUE FOR LUCK stamp his authority on this race under top-weight. A close third in the 3YO 'Dash' at Epsom on Derby day, the son of Due Diligence has improved with each start and, off just a 1lb higher mark, can confirm the form with the reopposing Curious Rover (fifth) and Vince L'Amour (sixth). Seasonal debutant Fool's Gold is also noted now dropped in class.
There are more races in DUE FOR LUCK and he makes most appeal dropped in class here. Old-rival Curious Rover is feared most ahead of the returning Fool's Gold.
Topweight DUE FOR LUCK was denied a clear run when a fine third in the 3yo Dash at Epsom and can make amends in this easier race.

(11)  (12/1 +14%)My Noble Lord |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) My Noble Lord 12/1, Made it 3-4 this year with a career best in 6-runner handicap at Ripon (12f, good) 16 days ago by 4¾ lengths from Filibustering. Hiked up 9 lb but he's still not taken lightly. Easily made all in small fields the last twice; remains to be seen where limitations lie. |
|||
1st (2)  (15/2 +6%)Align The Stars |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Align The Stars 15/2, Sea The Stars colt who gained a deserved first success in 11-runner handicap at Thirsk (12f, good) 20 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Hampden. Can go well again now stepped up in trip. Galloped on relentlessly for 1m4f Thirsk win & could have more to offer now tackling 1m6f. |
|||
2nd (6)  (9/1 -29%)Too Bossy For Us |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Too Bossy For Us 9/1, Improving son of Golden Horn who bagged 10f handicap at Ascot in May. Very good third of 11 to Align The Stars at Thirsk (12f, good) 20 days ago. Open to more progress on his first go at 14f. Stayed on for third over 1m4f at Thirsk last time and could relish this longer distance. |
|||
3rd (13)  (125/1 -89%)Flickering Halo |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Flickering Halo 125/1, Got off the mark at Beverley in May but below form in handicaps at York (10.2f) and Thirsk (12f) since. Goes up in trip but others are more persuasive. Won at Beverley in May but has suffered heavy defeats the last twice. |
|||
4th (8)  (66/1 -230%)East India Dock |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) East India Dock 66/1, Scored at Salisbury (12f) in May and on the up until coming in only sixteenth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (12f, firm) 16 days ago. Worth another chance with cheekpieces now added. Progressive prior to Royal Ascot, but hard to be confident in claims after that latest run. |
|||
5th (4)  (100/1 -300%)Pappano |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pappano 100/1, Got off the mark at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in April but has struggled to make an impact in better company since, eighth of 11 in Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (14.2f) 17 days ago. Still not ruled out now making his handicap debut. Has been contesting Group/Listed races but doesn't look obviously well treated. |
|||
6th (12)  (50/1 -257%)Tryfan |
50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Tryfan 50/1, Son of Nathaniel who opened his account in 5-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 9 days ago. This longer trip promises to suit so possibilities despite a 5 lb rise. This is a much better race than at Newcastle, but he looked a promising staying prospect. |
|||
7th (14)  (66/1 -230%)Filibustering |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Filibustering 66/1, Wide-margin winner of 14f handicap at Redcar in May and has continued in good order, third of 6 at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Can make his presence felt once more. Running well in Class 5 handicaps but probably vulnerable now against classier opposition. |
|||
8th (3)  (100/1 -1329%)Fouroneohfever |
100/1(-1329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fouroneohfever 100/1, Too Darn Holt colt who completed his hat-trick at Chester (10.3f) in May. Ran a cracker when fourth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (12f, firm) 16 days ago. Should have more to offer. Player. Finished well for 4th over 1m4f at Royal Ascot; this trip could prompt further improvement. |
|||
9th (10)  (80/1 -471%)Games People Play |
80/1(-471%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Games People Play 80/1, Fair maiden but she failed to build on previous efforts on her handicap bow when only sixth of 9 at Sandown (10f, good) 22 days ago. She shouldn't be written off though now stepped up markedly in trip with cheekpieces added. Unplaced favourite over 1m2f on handicap debut but bred to be suited by this longer trip. |
|||
10th (9)  (100/1 -300%)Hampden |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hampden 100/1, Yet to score but this Night Of Thunder gelding arrives in good nick, second of 11 to Align The Stars in handicap (9/1) at Thirsk (12f, good) 20 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Kept on well for second behind Align The Stars over 1m4f at Thirsk; each-way possible. |
|||
11th (1)  (100/1 -1567%)Wild Waves |
100/1(-1567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wild Waves 100/1, Progressive son of Crystal Ocean who comes here on a hat-trick after recent handicap wins at Kempton (12f) and Doncaster (14.5f). Can do better still so must enter calculations despite a 7 lb rise. 2-2 in the hood and in handicaps; this is hotter but he's clearly progressive. |
|||
12th (7)  (50/1 -52%)Local Arms |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Local Arms 50/1, A fairly useful 7.5f juvenile winner but she beat only one after 8 months off in listed race at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement. Impressive at Beverley on second start but unable to reproduce that promise since. |
|||
13th (5)  (50/1 -1329%)Dramatic Star |
50/1(-1329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dramatic Star 50/1, Sea The Stars colt who has improved a chunk with each of his three starts, emphatically landing 8-runner maiden at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Interesting contender now his stamina is drawn out more on his handicap debut. Handicap debut; dam was 1m6f Group 3 winner and trainer has won 3 of the last 4 runnings. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Stepping up to this trip is an unknown factor for some of these and, with that in mind, it can pay to side with WILD WAVES, who supplemented a cosy win over 1m4f on Polytrack at Kempton with an even more eye-catching success over the extended 1m6f at Doncaster last time out. Not fully extended that day, the Andrew Balding-trained colt could be too progressive for the likes of Align The Stars and the lightly-raced Dramatic Star, who rate the pick of the opposition.
William Haggas has a fine record in this and his upwardly-mobile Sea The Stars colt DRAMATIC STAR is fancied to make a winning start to life in handicaps. George Boughey's Fouroneohfever also looks to have better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can be made for Wild Waves, Too Bossy For Us and Games People Play too in this cracking handicap.
William Haggas has won three of the last four runnings and DRAMATIC STAR is taken to make a winning handicap debut.

1st (4)  (4/1 +0%)Queen Of The Pride |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Queen Of The Pride 4/1, Beautifully-bred filly who won the Group 3 Pinnacle Stakes over this C&D on only her fourth-career start 4 weeks, just holding off Lady Boba and clear of rest. Has the scope to improve again and big shout for trainer who has won this a record 9 times. Won a Group 3 over C&D last month and this unexposed 4yo can play another leading role. |
|||
2nd (7)  (9/4 +10%)Tiffany |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tiffany 9/4, Progressive filly who made it 6 wins from her last 7 starts in 14-runner Group 3 Hoppings Fillies' Stakes at Newcastle (10.2f) 8 days ago, taking the step up in class in her stride. Further improvement forthcoming and strong claims. Completed hat-trick with convincing Group 3 win at Newcastle last Friday; exciting. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/2 +10%)Lady Boba |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lady Boba 9/2, Improving filly who landed Fontainebleau listed event to end 2023. Excellent comeback when only just failing to peg back Queen of The Pride in Pinnacle Stakes at this C&D (good to firm) 4 weeks ago and likely to make another bold bid. Reappeared with short-head second in C&D Group 3 and could continue to progress. |
|||
4th (6)  (14/1 -17%)Sweet Memories |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sweet Memories 14/1, Came a long way in a short space of time last summer, winning 1½m listed event on July course before second in Group 3 company on the Rowley Mile. Ran no sort of race final start but type to bounce back at 4 yrs. Below par at Ascot last October but remains lightly raced and retains potential. |
|||
5th (3)  (33/1 -65%)Novus |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Novus 33/1, Smart filly who progressed throughout last term, winning 3 times. Enhanced her excellent Goodwood record when edged out late on at listed level in May. Conditions against her at Royal Ascot since. Stamina to prove up in trip and opposable unless ground turns soft. Won a Group 3 on sole previous attempt at 1m2f; worth a go at 1m4f; interesting. |
|||
6th (5)  (6/1 +14%)Sea Theme |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sea Theme 6/1, Looked a smart prospect when landing good York listed event over this trip last summer. Final run easily excused (sweated up) and shaped as if needing the run when 2½ lengths fourth of 13 to Queen of The Pride in Pinnacle Stakes at this C&D (good to firm) on return. Better expected now. Behind two of these in C&D Group 3 on return but is in the right hands to improve further. |
|||
7th (1)  (40/1 +20%)Kolossal |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kolossal 40/1, Won 3 times at Pattern level last season in Germany, including Group 3s at Milan/Hoopegarten. Did well at big odds from a lofty mark on yard debut (sold €200,000) when eighth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot on return 2 weeks ago and not taken lightly with headgear back on. Two-time Group 3 winner on the continent; could improve for her Royal Ascot stable debut. |
|||
8th (8)  (16/1 -100%)Forest Fairy |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Forest Fairy 16/1, Waldgeist filly who looked a good prospect when winning first 2 starts, notably when beating subsequent Ribblesdale winner Port Fairy in the Cheshire Oaks. However, was in trouble a fair way out when failing to repeat that effort in the Oaks at Epsom and needs to resume progress. Form of Cheshire Oaks win has been franked; well beaten in the Oaks but not written off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Tiffany is a typical improver from the Sir Mark Prescott yard who is highly likely to be a key player here. However, LADY BOBA, who was a short-head runner-up in the Lester Piggott Stakes over this C&D last month, is already more proven at this trip and shades preference given the winner got first run that day. Queen Of The Pride escapes a penalty for landing that Group 3 prize but might struggle to uphold the form given the selection is expected to have benefitted greatly from what was her seasonal debut.
TIFFANY took the step up to Group 3 level in her stride when running out a comfortable winner from a host of useful fillies in a Group 3 at Newcastle last week and can make it 7 wins from her last 8 starts. There was little between Queen of The Pride and Lady Boba when 1-2 in the Pinnacle Stakes over C&D last month and are obvious threats.
The Sir Mark Prescott-trained 4yo TIFFANY is firmly on the up and can complete a four-timer. Queen Of The Pride is second choice.

(2)  (9/2 +10%)Relentless Voyager |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Relentless Voyager 9/2, Smart performer who confirmed the promise of his reappearance when ready winner of 14-runner handicap at Epsom (1½m, good to soft) last month. Good third in a York listed race since. Low-mileage sort who could still have a bigger performance in him. High on the shortlist. Commanding winner of Epsom handicap and the race wasn't run to suit at York last time. |
|||
(4)  (11/2 +45%)Epic Poet |
11/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Epic Poet 11/2, Smart in France. Disappointed in 3 outings for the Meade stable last year but quickly back on track for David O'Meara, finishing an excellent second of 19 in Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot a fortnight ago. Big player. Runner-up at Royal Ascot on second stable start; remains well treated on 2022 French form. |
|||
(6)  (13/2 -8%)La Yakel |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) La Yakel 13/2, Low-mileage sort who continued theme of steady progress last year, winning 5-runner Doncaster handicap (1¼m) prior to a good second at York (1¼m, soft) on final start in October. Could have more to offer as a 5-y-o but reappears in a very warm race and the draw could have been kinder. Lightly raced 5yo who is open to further improvement for top yard; best form on slow going. |
|||
(8)  (9/1 -20%)Chillingham |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Chillingham 9/1, Useful handicapper who has finished a creditable third over this trip at Ripon and York on his last 2 starts, latterly in this hood and cheekpieces combination. Ought to be competitive. Has run well in third the last twice and holds each-way claims once more. |
|||
(1)  (11/1 +56%)Astro King |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Astro King 11/1, Inspired buy by connections, winning a nice prize at York Ebor meeting before following up in Cambridgeshire in September. Reached the frame twice at Group level at Newmarket this spring and probably worth forgiving a lesser run in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot. Below par at Royal Ascot but he's just 2lb higher than when winning the Cambridgeshire. |
|||
(16)  (12/1 +0%)Maghlaak |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Maghlaak 12/1, Lightly-raced 5-y-o who overcame an 11-month absence to land 8-runner Goodwood handicap (1¼m, soft) in May. Not so well served by hold up tactics when seventh in Zetland Gold Cup (1¼m) 12 days ago and he's unexposed at this sort of trip. Blinkers on first time. Disappointing latest but perhaps blinkers will help this well-bred and lightly raced 5yo. |
|||
(12)  (12/1 +14%)Sheer Rocks |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Sheer Rocks 12/1, Won twice at the start of last summer before finishing a creditable fifth in this race. Made a respectable return from a year off when mid-division in the Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot 15 days ago and should be sharper now. Respected from a handy draw. Close fifth in this last year; didn't run badly on Royal Ascot comeback; each-way possible. |
|||
(10)  (16/1 -45%)Iron Lion |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Iron Lion 16/1, Useful effort to take a C&D handicap last month but a 5 lb rise seemed to find him out when 4¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Euchen Glen at Ayr (13f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Tudhope prefers Epic Poet. Only fifth at Ayr a fortnight ago but has won twice this season and is not ruled out. |
|||
(7)  (16/1 +20%)If Not Now |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) If Not Now 16/1, Pretty smart handicap performance when third on Lingfield reappearance in May. Seemed unsuited by the track when well held at Epsom since. Being eased another 2 lb can only help and his yard is in good form. Considered. Appeared unsuited by the track at Epsom and this lightly raced 4yo retains potential. |
|||
(15)  (20/1 +50%)Flash Bardot |
20/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Flash Bardot 20/1, Five wins from 18 starts, including on soft-ground reappearance at Doncaster in April. Below par behind a few of these on sounder surfaces at York and Epsom since. Best to look elsewhere unless conditions turn testing. A downpour would boost her claims but she's been beaten a long way the last twice. |
|||
(11)  (22/1 -10%)Euchen Glen |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Euchen Glen 22/1, Veteran course winner who showed he's still capable of useful form when snapping a losing run at Ayr (13f) 14 days ago. Suspicion a 4 lb rise will leave him vulnerable in a race as competitive as this, though. 11yo who ended long losing run at Ayr recently; not ruled out for yard in flying form. |
|||
(14)  (22/1 +0%)Loyal Touch |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Loyal Touch 22/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chester (1¼m, soft) last month but a 3 lb rise found him out at Newcastle last weekend. Steps up to 1½m for the first time in his career. Untested at the trip but has hinted a few times that it may suit; has won twice this year. |
|||
(13)  (22/1 +45%)King's Code |
22/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) King's Code 22/1, Real success story for his yard, adding more wins at Southwell and Kempton (both 1m) at the start of the year. Proved he's as good on turf as AW when second at York (1¼m) in May. Respectable eighth of 29 in Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, firm) 17 days ago. Stamina the unknown on first attempt at 1½m. Unraced over 1m4f but there's stamina in his pedigree & he's run some good races this year. |
|||
(3)  (33/1 -83%)Teumessias Fox |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Teumessias Fox 33/1, Found a little more progress when successful at Kempton (1½m) in January but last of 14 in Easter Classic at Newcastle on Good Friday and not seen since. Others are more persuasive. Fine win at Kempton in January but well beaten at Newcastle in March and off since. |
|||
(9)  (33/1 -32%)Sheradann |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sheradann 33/1, Quickly reached a useful level in France last year, winning 3 times at up to 15f in the autumn. Interesting recruit for his shrewd new yard. Betting informative. Sold for 250,000euros after winning final three starts in France; interesting contender. |
|||
(17)  (33/1 +0%)Mysterious Love |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Mysterious Love 33/1, Useful but just a maiden win to his name and she failed to make a significant impact in 2 handicaps in May. Being dropped 3 lb can only help but it's not enough to tempt. Tackles 1½m for the first time. Hasn't run badly over 1m2f the last twice, but she needs something extra now up in trip. |
|||
(5)  (40/1 +20%)L'astronome |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) L'astronome 40/1, Smart performer in France. Made an encouraging stable debut when third in Chester listed race last September but has gone backwards since. Can only be watched. Listed third on stable debut last September but three lesser performances have followed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
David O'Meara landed this contest two years ago with Get Shirty and the trainer can do so once more with EPIC POET, who runs in the same colours. The son of Lope De Vega showed marked improvement from first to second start for his new connections when runner-up in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to return to winning ways. A comfortable scorer over this distance at Epsom on his penultimate outing, Relentless Voyager should be thereabouts, along with the returning La Yakel for the in-form William Haggas yard. Chillingham has threatened to win a handicap of this nature for some time and is another to consider, as well as the veteran Euchen Glen and Iron Lion.
EPIC POET represents the same connections as 2022 winner Get Shirty and is taken to build on his good second in the Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot. Relentless Voyager, a fine third at listed level last time, If Not Now and Sheer Rocks head the many dangers in a typically competitive renewal.
David O'Meara has won two of the last eight runnings and has another likely type in Royal Ascot runner-up EPIC POET (nap).

(4)  (3/1 +50%)Regal Gem |
3/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Regal Gem 3/1, Strong in the betting and justified that support on debut at Pontefract in May. Merely matched that form when of 5 under a penalty at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut and mark asks for more. Won on debut & respectable effort since behind Royal Ascot winner; could have part to play. |
|||
(5)  (4/1 +43%)Arabian Cobra |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Arabian Cobra 4/1, Yet to win a race so no surprise he could manage only12½ lengths twenty fifth of 27 to Ain't Nobody in listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, firm) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut and mark is a fair one on his Windsor run. Went close at Windsor on second start but two lesser runs have followed. |
|||
(8)  (9/2 +25%)Rare Change |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Rare Change 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 20/1, fourth of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (5f, good) 15 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Makes handicap debut and return to 6f very much in his favour. Caught the eye when 4l fourth at Goodwood; the step back up to 6f looks the right move. |
|||
(3)  (15/2 -7%)Seraphim Angel |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Seraphim Angel 15/2, Confirmed debut promise when scoring at Chester in May. Cheekpieces on for first time, 7½ lengths sixteenth of 24 to Leovanni in Queen Mary Stakes (80/1) at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. This more realistic up in trip. Lily Agnes winner who begins handicap life on a realistic mark and 6f could suit. |
|||
(1)  (17/2 -42%)Sex On Fire |
17/2(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sex On Fire 17/2, Southwell winner on debut in March. Fared about as well as could be expected when 8 lengths fifteenth of 27 to Ain't Nobody in listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, firm) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut and he's ready for 6f. Has shown strong form over 5f and shaped as though he could improve for 6f. |
|||
(6)  (10/1 -82%)Hofburg |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hofburg 10/1, Fourth on debut and improved his position by 1 each start, second of 5 in maiden at Chepstow (6.1f, good, 10/3) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Merits consideration. Well close at Chepstow latest; doesn't seem straightforward but could still be involved. |
|||
(7)  (12/1 -100%)Gold Medallist |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gold Medallist 12/1, Gelded after second start and back on track when third of 7 in maiden at Brighton (6f, good) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut and mark looks a fair one. Has gone close on two of his three starts and could be in the mix. |
|||
(2)  (12/1 -243%)Shazani |
12/1(-243%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shazani 12/1, Took another jump forward when landing 8-runner maiden (17/2) at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, keeping on well. Makes nursery debut from a fair-enough mark. Has a progressive profile and made all in Hamilton maiden on third and latest start. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HOFBURG has improved with each start in his career thus far and he has every chance on the back of a narrow reversal at Chepstow last month. A mark of 75 on his nursery handicap debut could prove lenient, and the son of Mehmas is preferred to Shazani, who has been handed an opening mark of 84 after scoring comfortably at Hamilton. Not beaten far at Brighton last time out, Gold Medallist looks well capable of breaking the maiden at this level.
SHAZANI relished 6f when making third start a winning one at Hamilton 3 weeks ago, and with the prospect of more to come, he's taken to continue the good work. Hofburg is going the right way so he's feared, with Arabian Cobra well weighted on the pick of his form.
Having kept on for an eyecatching fourth over 5f at Goodwood a fortnight ago, RARE CHANGE earns the vote now back up to 6f.

(11)  (7/2 -17%)Telemark |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Telemark 7/2, Useful winning juvenile and, with tongue strap applied, left behind his handicap/seasonal debut when doubling his tally at Thirsk (7f, good) 20 days ago, well on top at the finish. Major player as he takes on his elders for the first time. Back on the up with 7f Thirsk win 20 days ago; 3yos do well in this race; gets the vote. |
|||
(4)  (7/2 +30%)Billyjoh |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Billyjoh 7/2, Back-to-back winner on the all-weather in February and has remained in good heart since, again making the frame when finding only a most-progressive type too strong in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot 16 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Rattled home for second in Royal Ascot handicap on first attempt at 7f; player. |
|||
(2)  (7/1 +36%)Talis Evolvere |
7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Talis Evolvere 7/1, Successful twice on all-weather during the winter and went on to land a valuable Newcastle handicap (8f) in March. Continued the good work back on turf when third in competitive events at Newbury, so he's worth another chance after a below-par effort at Royal Ascot. Placed in good Newbury handicaps this spring; ground possibly quicker than ideal latest. |
|||
(12)  (10/1 -54%)Boardman |
10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Boardman 10/1, C&D winner who turned in his best effort of the season when sixth of 17 at York (7f, soft) 3 weeks ago, despite having been forced to switch over 1f out. Has edged further back down in the weights, so he enters calculations. On a good mark and better signs at York latest; C&D winner; not discounted. |
|||
(6)  (11/1 -10%)Mirsky |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mirsky 11/1, Useful ex-French performer who ran creditably on return from 6 months off when keeping-on fifth in Thirsk Hunt Cup in May. Left poorly placed racing far side in Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) last time, so he's not one to write off. Promising fifth in Thirsk Hunt Cup on yard debut but below par twice since. |
|||
(7)  (12/1 +0%)Mister Sketch |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mister Sketch 12/1, Looked smart prospect when winning minor event at Salisbury (6f) last summer. Has run creditably on 2 of his 3 starts this year, in first-time cheekpieces when third of 6 in listed race at the same C&D in May. Needs to find more as he goes handicapping. Useful colt who takes a drop in class here; 3yos have a good recent record in this. |
|||
(9)  (12/1 -50%)Oliver Show |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Oliver Show 12/1, Took a step forward when winning at Newcastle in February and left behind a lesser effort when recording a decisive success at Kempton (7f) in April. Task is now to transfer that form back onto turf. Two AW wins since joining George Boughey; could continue the good work back on turf. |
|||
(1)  (14/1 -17%)Rhoscolyn |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rhoscolyn 14/1, Likeable type who looked at least as good as ever when landing 7f Epsom handicap (for the second time) in May. Not in the same form on firm ground in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, but no surprise to see him bounce back. Won at Epsom (good to soft) in May; ground quicker than ideal at Ascot since. |
|||
(10)  (14/1 -87%)Spirit Genie |
14/1(-87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Spirit Genie 14/1, Has shown improved form this year, making it back-to-back wins when getting up late to score at Chester (7f, soft) in May. Was suited by the way the race developed last time, but he can give another good account in his current mood. On a hat-trick after wins at Nottingham (1m) and Chester (7f) in May; can't discount. |
|||
(5)  (16/1 -14%)Empirestateofmind |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Empirestateofmind 16/1, Without a win last season but proved consistent in the main, wasting no time getting back to form (in first-time visor) when third at this course (8f, heavy) in September. Usual blinkers reapplied after 9 months off (has had a wind op). Reliable in defeat last year but hasn't been seen for nine months; has had wind surgery. |
|||
(8)  (16/1 +43%)Liamarty Dreams |
16/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Liamarty Dreams 16/1, C&D winner who made a bright start to the season, successful over 7f at Doncaster and Musselburgh on his first 2 starts of the campaign. However, below form the last twice, including at Newcastle only a week ago. Others preferred. Two 7f wins this spring; not at best last twice last twice but has a solid C&D record. |
|||
(3)  (25/1 -14%)Finn's Charm |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Finn's Charm 25/1, Has a rather hit-and-miss profile, running up to his best when making all at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in June. However, finished tailed off in Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot next time, so others are more persuasive. Made all at Goodwood last month but last at Royal Ascot since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Recent Thirsk scorer Telemark and the hat-trick seeking Spirit Genie are on an upward curve and both must be seriously considered, but it is BILLYJOH who shades preference. Stepped up to 7f for the first time in the Buckingham Palace last month, it proved to be no problem as he finished second to the impressive English Oak. Given that he has scope for further progress at this trip, Michael Appleby's gelding can shrug off a 2lb rise in the handicap and go one better. Others to note include Mister Sketch and Oliver Show.
After 9 weeks off and in first-time tongue strap, TELEMARK did well under the circumstances when winning at Thirsk on his latest outing, coming from further back than ideal in a steadily-run race, so he is taken to follow up with more still to offer. Billyjoh produced another good effort in defeat at Royal Ascot and is feared most, ahead of Boardman.
The last two running of this have gone to 3yos so TELEMARK gets a narrow vote over Royal Ascot runner-up Billyjoh.

(5)  (11/4 +8%)Treasure Time |
11/4(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Treasure Time 11/4, Has taken a step forward with each start in handicaps, proving better than ever when landing a 10-runner event at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 17/2) 14 days ago. Displayed a good attitude there and makes appeal again. Up 4lb for narrow Newmarket success but his yard is in very good form. |
|||
(3)  (7/2 +22%)Quatre Bras |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Quatre Bras 7/2, Showed much improved form after a gelding operation when second of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Possible he may prove at his best over further but can give a good account nonetheless. Back to form when second in 7f Sandown handicap latest; respected under Murphy. |
|||
(7)  (6/1 -33%)Pedro Valentino |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pedro Valentino 6/1, Made second start a winning one when landing Wolverhampton maiden (6f) in November and improved in first-time cheekpieces when doubling his career tally in an 11-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 28 days ago. Leading player form 4 lb higher mark. Reacted well to cheekpieces when winning over C&D four weeks ago; respected up 4lb. |
|||
(8)  (13/2 +0%)Kodi Lion |
13/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kodi Lion 13/2, Landed short odds in a 6-runner Catterick maiden in April and took a step forward when runner-up in a 15-runner handicap at this course (6f, good to soft, 8/1) 42 days ago. This is tougher but he holds frame claims. Won 6f maiden; kept on for second on 6f course handicap debut since; should stay 7f. |
|||
(2)  (13/2 -44%)Love Billy Boy |
13/2(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Love Billy Boy 13/2, Made a winning start on soft ground at Musselburgh last able and doubled his tally under similar conditions when winning 13-runner handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft) 21 days ago, That effort rated as a career best, so has to be respected from 3 lb higher mark. Just held on at Chester (soft) three weeks ago; should remain competitive up 3lb. |
|||
(4)  (12/1 -33%)Burdett |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Burdett 12/1, Career best when winning 19-runner handicap at York (7f, good, 14/1) in May, evidently well suited by a strong gallop, but couldn't reproduce that form when down the field at Thirsk last time. Others make more appeal. Looked good at York in May; only seventh at Thirsk since but could bounce back. |
|||
(1)  (16/1 -60%)Serried Ranks |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Serried Ranks 16/1, Useful performer at 2 yrs, scoring at Nottingham on debut before also landing nursery at Glorious Goodwood. Yet to reach same heights in 2 outings this season, though step up in trip appeals as a positive. Glorious Goodwood nursery winner at 2 but no impact in two sprint handicaps this year. |
|||
(6)  (16/1 -60%)Run Boy Run |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Run Boy Run 16/1, Opened his account in 6f Newcastle maiden in March. Better form when runner-up at Haydock (6f, good) early last month but and can be excused his latest effort at York, hampered at the start and racing in an unfavouted group. Others still preferred on balance. Good second in 6f handicap here but need to shrug off a lesser run at York since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
TREASURE TIME battled on gamely to score at Newmarket a fortnight ago and, given that he pulled well clear with the runner-up, a 4lb rise might underestimate the son of Time Test. There will be challengers aplenty, however, with recent C&D victor Pedro Valentino perhaps topping the list of dangers. Love Billy Boy finished fourth behind subsequent Britannia hero Mickley at Doncaster in May before going on to record a success of his own and he is another solid candidate today.
A competitive 3yo handicap, with PEDRO VALENTINO narrowly preferred to notch his second C&D win 4 weeks on from his first. Treasure Time has proved progressive this season and should pose a major threat having scored at Newmarket at fortnight ago, whilst recent Chester winner Love Billy Boy also makes plenty of appeal.
It might be worth forgiving BURDETT a lesser effort last time as a smooth York success prior to that suggested he was a 3yo on the up.

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.
