1st (2)  (15/2 +6%)Haliphon |
15/2(+6%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Haliphon 15/2, Ran one of this season's better races when runner-up at Epsom in July but he's ran disappointingly both starts since, latterly when eighth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f) 17 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Runner-up at Epsom at beginning of July but well beaten the next twice. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/2 +0%)Atalanta Breeze |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Atalanta Breeze 7/2, Last win came back on sole start in 2022 but having fallen in weights, almost took advantage at Ffos Las (14f) on penultimate start last month. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (15.7f) 9 days ago and not discounted back down in trip. Runner-up at Ffos Las last month and fair fourth on AW since; on the shortlist. |
|||
3rd (1)  (5/2 +17%)Just An Hour |
5/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Just An Hour 5/2, Yet to get his head in front for present yard but his mark has steadily edged down and he again ran creditably when fourth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, firm, 9/1) 17 days ago. One to bear in mind with cheekpieces retained. Ran pretty well when fourth at Catterick last time and he's one to consider. |
|||
4th (6)  (12/1 -71%)Sameem |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sameem 12/1, Landed Ripon Ladies Derby for second consecutive season in June prior to a good second at Epsom (12f) a month later. Went off too hard next time and never involved from his position back at first-named venue 10 days ago. Could bounce back. Won at Ripon in June but below par the last twice and needs to get back on track. |
|||
5th (7)  (15/2 -50%)Shield Of Honour |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Shield Of Honour 15/2, Stepped up on opening efforts for this yard when landing 9-runner classified event at Yarmouth (11.5f) in July. Similar form when fourth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (10.9f) 10 days ago and not discounted back up in trip. Made all in Yarmouth classified two starts ago and could be in the mix. |
|||
6th (4)  (11/4 +31%)Fiddlers Green |
11/4(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fiddlers Green 11/4, Has already enjoyed a productive campaign, gaining third victory since February at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) in April. Has found things tougher subsequently but the assessor has eased his grip a little and dangerous to discount if allowed his own way on the front end under Brodie Hampson. Won two in a row in April; mixed form since but can play leading role if at his best. |
|||
7th (8)  (25/1 -79%)Rayena |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Rayena 25/1, Harry Angel filly who has yet to win in 15 attempts and again ran to only a poor level when fifth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (10.9f, good to firm) 10 days ago. More needed if she's to break her duck here. Went close under Lois Teal at Ripon in June but has made no impact since and is now 0-15. |
|||
8th (3)  (125/1 -681%)Just The Man |
125/1(-681%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Just The Man 125/1, Fair handicap hurdler but well held having a rare start in this sphere at Kempton in January and nearer last than first in pair of hurdle outings 6 months apart since. Has it to prove here with a first-time tongue strap fitted. Some fair hurdle form in 2023 but he's struggled on his three outings this year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Alice Tregoning has got acquainted with ATALANTA BREEZE on her last three appearances, with a Ffos Las second last month a strong hint that the eight-year-old mare retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game. Two miles at Lingfield subsequently probably stretched her but her fourth-place wasn't bad and she is preferred to Shield Of Honour, who claimed a classified event at Yarmouth prior to a decent Ripon effort. Just An Hour is working his way back into form and has dropped to a nice mark.
JUST AN HOUR again ran well from his steadily easing mark when fourth at Catterick last month and he can open his account for this yard. Atalanta Breeze and Fiddlers Green may emerge as the most potent threats.
Brodie Hampson won this last year and the return to a forecast slower surface is a likely plus for her mount FIDDLERS GREEN.

1st (6)  (5/2 -11%)We Dare To Dream |
5/2(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) We Dare To Dream 5/2, Half-brother to several winners, including smart 6f-1m winner Texas Rock. Plenty to like about his debut second at Ripon and, with more to come, he looks the one to beat. Has kept on well for second over 6f on first two starts; one to consider now up in trip. |
|||
2nd (5)  (15/2 +6%)Sir Peter Fossick |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sir Peter Fossick 15/2, Related to numerous winners and came clear with another newcomer when second in maiden at Epsom (7f, good, 7/2) in July. Didn't back it up at Goodwood subsequently but too soon to write off. Clear runner-up on debut at Epsom; down the field since but a player if bouncing back. |
|||
3rd (4)  (40/1 -21%)Mystical Storm |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mystical Storm 40/1, Foaled March 2. Harry Angel colt. Half-brother to 6.5f-1m winner Snowball Jackson and 5f/6f winner Emeralds Pride. Dam, 7f/1m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m System. Trainer has had a couple of 2yos run well on debut this season at decent odds. |
|||
4th (2)  (10/3 +17%)Boston Run |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Boston Run 10/3, Fair form when runner-up on both starts to date, no match for the winner in testing conditions at Hamilton 13 days ago. Should be involved again. Close 2nd over C&D on debut; failed to match that form at Hamilton but retains potential. |
|||
5th (7)  (9/2 +63%)Kirkdale |
9/2(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kirkdale 9/2, Foaled April 10. 19,000 gns yearling, Zelzal colt. Brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Rose Academy and half-brother to 9f winner Arrabbiata. Not dismissed. 19,000gns yearling; brother to a French 7f 2yo winner; market may guide on debut. |
|||
6th (1)  (50/1 -52%)Azoozi |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Azoozi 50/1, Foaled March 27. 32,000 gns foal, €62,000 yearling, Showcasing colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Queen Blossom and 1m-11.6f winner Winged Spur. Dam maiden. Will probably need the experience. Market check advised; trainer among winners but not known for first-time-out 2yo success. |
|||
7th (3)  (15/2 -67%)Captain Harry |
15/2(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Captain Harry 15/2, Bred to be useful and there was something to work on when fourth of 5 in maiden at Chester last month. Should strip fitter for it and could make a bigger impact. Fair fourth on last month's debut at Chester; in good hands to progress and not ruled out. |
|||
8th (11)  (28/1 -180%)Media |
28/1(-180%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Media 28/1, Foaled April 6. Make Believe filly. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¼m out of winning sister to smart 1m-13f winner Marksmanship. Interesting newcomer. Dam Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner; takes on colts on debut but from powerful northern stable. |
|||
9th (9)  (10/1 -25%)Ruling Master |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ruling Master 10/1, Foaled March 11. €31,000 foal, €36,000 2-y-o, Holy Roman Emperor colt. Dam twice-raced half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1½m) Savanna La Mar and 2-y-o 6f winner So In Love (both useful) out of useful 7f-1¼m winner Soft Morning. Newmarket trainer 3-13 with 2yos here in past five years; could go well on debut. |
|||
10th (8)  (200/1 -300%)Oselton |
200/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Oselton 200/1, Foaled February 22. 22,000 gns yearling, 21,000 gns 2-y-o, Belardo colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 9f Lethal Talent and 2-y-o 7f winner Majestic Mac. Dam sprint maiden. Yard not renowned for debut winners. Half-brother to four winners; tongue-tied on debut; may be one for further down the line. |
|||
11th (10)  (25/1 -233%)Harryella |
25/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Harryella 25/1, Some appeal on pedigree but didn't show enough at Kempton first time out, so others preferred. Down the field on debut but trainer's 2yos are in excellent form; interesting. |
|||
12th (12)  (200/1 -506%)Belabambina |
200/1(-506%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Belabambina 200/1, Didn't show much at Chepstow first time out and hard to imagine she'll feature. 33-1, always behind on last month's debut at Chepstow (6f, good to firm). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
WE DARE TO DREAM and Boston Run bring identical form figures to the table, but David O'Meara's colt has chased home a couple of youngsters who have gone on to acquit themselves well at a high level so may be the way to go. That's not to say Boston Run can't step forward from his C&D and Hamilton seconds, although Sir Peter Fossick may be a bigger threat after filling the runner-up spot at Epsom before being undone by a wide draw at Glorious Goodwood. Better was expected of Captain Harry at Chester, but he can't be written off yet.
WE DARE TO DREAM has plenty of winners in his pedigree and looked to have lots of ability when second at Ripon last month, so he gets the nod with improvement on the cards. Boston Run is a player and Captain Harry should also build on his initial outing.
James Fanshawe's 2yos are in tremendous form and HARRYELLA could be an entirely different proposition on this second start.

1st (3)  (11/4 -57%)Green Icon |
11/4(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Green Icon 11/4, Much improved from Nottingham debut when landing very short odds in 7f Chelmsford maiden 4 weeks ago, well on top finish from a subsequent winner. More to come now handicapping and leading claims. Won at Chelmsford (7f, AW) on second start; bred to be better than this opening mark. |
|||
2nd (8)  (10/3 +17%)Pietro |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pietro 10/3, Career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 4/1) 20 days ago. Showed a good attitude there and may do better still, so merits strong consideration. Won at Epsom last month on second nursery start and he holds strong claims up 5lb. |
|||
3rd (7)  (13/2 +35%)Veydari |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Veydari 13/2, Cost plenty at the Breeze Ups and shaped as if there's a bigger performance in him on first three starts. Latest effort on nursery debut at Goodwood was underwhelming, but it's too soon to write him off. 200,000gns breeze-up buy who could take a sizeable step forward at some stage. |
|||
4th (6)  (16/1 +0%)Brastias |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Brastias 16/1, Built on debut promise at the second attempt when winning 11-runner maiden at Redcar in July and latest effort at Ripon (slowly away) could be excused. Handicapper hasn't been lenient with opening mark, though. 7f maiden winner; not written off but he has something to prove after last time. |
|||
5th (5)  (7/1 +13%)Maximus Alexios |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Maximus Alexios 7/1, Fair form to date and shaped as if a stronger gallop would have suited when fourth in a 6f nursery here last month. May yet improve. Fair fourth over 6f here on nursery debut; the return to 7f could be a positive move. |
|||
6th (4)  (11/1 -47%)Feeraas |
11/1(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Feeraas 11/1, Expensive yearling who has only shown fair form to date, but gelded and given a break ahead of this nursery bow, so not one to rule out. Gelded since last time; this 150,000euros yearling is open to improvement on nursery debut. |
|||
7th (1)  (15/2 -25%)Chuti Manika |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chuti Manika 15/2, Quite well related and confirmed debut promise when comfortably off the mark at the second attempt in 7f Catterick maiden 43 days ago. Should have even more to offer. Won at Catterick on second start; lines up on a fair mark and is open to improvement. |
|||
8th (9)  (40/1 -21%)Perfidia |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Perfidia 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form sixth of 11 in nursery at Beverley (7.4f, good, 11/2) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. This slight drop in distance should help him. Soundly beaten in first two nurseries and needs to raise his game in first-time tongue-tie. |
|||
9th (2)  (11/1 -38%)Countess Ciara |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Countess Ciara 11/1, Maiden winner who was second on 6f Windsor nursery debut in July. Back on track when third in a nursery at Wolverhampton last time and no reason why she won't be on the premises again. Placed in two of her three nurseries and might not be far away. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Things didn't go to plan for GREEN ICON when sent off a warm favourite for his Nottingham introduction, but he made no mistake next time at Chelmsford. The runner-up has gone one better since to give the form a boost and Owen Burrows' colt can take full advantage of what might be a lenient opening figure. Chuti Manika is not as obviously well treated, but also made it second-time lucky at Catterick and has to be respected. Feeraas, who cost 150,000gns as a yearling, has shown ability and has been gelded ahead of his nursery bow.
GREEN ICON left his debut form behind when getting off the mark at Chelmsford a month ago and the form has been boosted by the runner-up, so he's fancied to prove himself better than an opening mark of 74. Chuti Manika fits a similar mould and deserves respect, while there's plenty to like about Pietro's profile also.
Preference is for PIETRO, who won a nursery at Epsom three weeks ago and shaped as though he has more to offer.

1st (6)  (11/8 +27%)Silver Peak |
11/8(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Silver Peak 11/8, €1,250,000Y Dubawi colt. Half-brother to French 8.2f winner So Spirit. Sent off 11/4 and held back by inexperience when fourth of 12 in a 7f novice at Kempton 15 days ago, clear of rest. Sure to do better. Fair 4th on recent debut; cost 1,250,000euros and top trainer has won last three runnings. |
|||
2nd (7)  (16/1 -33%)Sir Dinadan |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sir Dinadan 16/1, 200,000 gns yearling, Camelot colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 4.5f-6f winner Zinziberine. Ran to just a modest level in a 7f Newbury novice on debut 48 days ago but is clearly thought capable of better. Needs a significant step forward on second start but the step up to 1m should help. |
|||
3rd (2)  (5/2 +55%)Aegean Sea |
5/2(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Aegean Sea 5/2, Kingman colt who made a promising start to his career when third of 12 in a Sandown novice in June, nearest at the finish. Shade disappointing he couldn't build on that back there the following month but it's still early days and he's an obvious player on form upped in trip. Similar form when 3rd/5th at Sandown on his two runs; open to improvement for leading yard. |
|||
4th (1)  (9/4 +10%)King Casper |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) King Casper 9/4, Built significantly on debut promise to run out a clear-cut winner of 11-runner novice at this course (7f, firm) 27 days ago. Can go on improving and much respected under a penalty. Won here on second start; carries penalty against interesting rivals but respected. |
|||
5th (3)  (33/1 -32%)Blue Tempus |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Blue Tempus 33/1, Foaled February 24. €12,000 yearling, 50,000 gns 2-y-o, Highland Reel colt. Closely related to winner up to 11f Johnny Double. Dam, 8.3f-1¼m winner, half-sister to useful 1m-1¾m winner (stays 16.5f) Eagle Court. Bred for longer trips. 50,000gns 2yo breeze-ups; makes debut in what looks a warm novice and may be best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
CALEDONIAN showed marked improvement from first to second start when keeping on in second over 7f at Yarmouth last month, and stepping up to a mile on this occasion could be the making of him. King Casper has a 4lb penalty to overcome for scoring comfortably here last time out, while costly purchase Silver Peak was green when hanging left on debut at Kempton. Aegean Sea has the form to get involved too.
SILVER PEAK, a 7-figure buy, was held back by inexperience on his debut at Kempton just over a fortnight ago but still pulled clear of the rest and seems sure to do better, so he's taken to make his second start a winning one. King Casper impressed when scoring here last month and is highly respected under a penalty, while Aegean Sea could yet build on his promising debut.
Charlie Appleby has won the last three runnings and 1,250,000euros Dubawi colt SILVER PEAK can build on his recent debut fourth.

1st (2)  (11/8 +100%)Defence Minister |
11/8(+100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Defence Minister 11/8, €210,000 breeze-up acquisition who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 11-runner Newmarket novice (6f) 3 weeks ago, forced to switch twice before showing very good speed to lead final 50 yds. Useful prospect on that evidence and big shout here. 210,000euros breeze-up buy who won on debut at Newmarket; 7lb penalty may not stop him. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/4 +36%)Arabian Angel |
9/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Arabian Angel 9/4, Dark Angel colt who shaped promisingly when second of 13 in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on debut 36 days ago, no match for winner but nicely clear of the rest. Looks sure to improve for his powerful stable. Runner-up on debut at Redcar and this Middle Park entry could be sharper for that outing. |
|||
3rd (1)  (5/1 +0%)Dark Cloud Rising |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dark Cloud Rising 5/1, Shaped as if needing the run when eighth on debut at York in May (race worked out well) and different proposition himself when winning 10-runner maiden at Thirsk (6f) 20 days ago. Looks sure to go on to better things and he's respected. Well-backed winner at Thirsk on second start and could continue to progress. |
|||
4th (4)  (10/1 -25%)Double Rush |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Double Rush 10/1, Foaled April 1. Blue Point colt. Encouraging start when second behind a potentially useful sort in 13-runner novice at Windsor (6f, soft) on debut 12 days ago. Looks sure to progress. Promising start when 22-1 runner-up at Windsor; could have a part to play. |
|||
5th (5)  (17/2 -21%)Maelstrom |
17/2(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Maelstrom 17/2, Foaled February 7. Night of Thunder colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Audience. Noteworthy newcomer for leading yard and it would look significant if the market spoke in his favour. Thrown into tough race on debut but from last year's winning yard and bred to be talented. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
DEFENCE MINISTER may have a 7lb penalty to overcome for success on debut at Newmarket last month, but he did so in taking fashion and there is likely to be plenty more improvement forthcoming from the son of Too Darn Hot. He gets the vote ahead of promising Redcar second Arabian Angel and Double Rush, who ran well on debut but was no match for a smart sort of Saeed bin Suroor's at Windsor.
DEFENCE MINISTER overcame obvious signs of inexperience and showed highly encouraging speed in the process when making a winning debut at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. Marking himself down as a useful prospect on that evidence, he can defy a penalty and make it 2-2. Fellow last-time-out scorer Dark Cloud Rising is another of interest, along with Arabian Angel, in an intriguing small-field affair.
The 210,000euros breeze-up buy DEFENCE MINISTER made a very promising start to his career when winning at Newmarket last month.

1st (9)  (15/2 -36%)Warda Jamila |
15/2(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Warda Jamila 15/2, Made a winning handicap debut at Ascot (10f) in May and has been shaping up well of late, going through the race as though there's a bigger effort in her at some stage when third at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) just over 5 weeks ago. One of the more interesting 3-y-os so needs considering. Close third at Glorious Goodwood and she's a key player if again on a going day. |
|||
2nd (6)  (18/1 -50%)Invisible Friend |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Invisible Friend 18/1, Resumed progress in no uncertain terms after 9 months off when winning 16-runner handicap at York in June but having been off 10 weeks since, wasn't in the same form back there (10.2f, good to firm) under a fortnight ago. Probably too high in the weights now so others more appealing. Couldn't get into it on fast ground at York recently; won on good to soft there previously. |

3rd (4)  (10/1 -25%)Roarin' Success |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Roarin' Success 10/1, Good efforts when runner-up in her first 2 races this season and bounced back from a lesser effort at Royal Ascot when 1½ lengths second of 7 to Elladonna at Salisbury in July. Ran respectably without threatening to get involved at Goodwood since, so more needed kept to this trip. Runner-up on three of her five starts this season; in the shake-up if back to her best. |
|||
4th (1)  (11/1 +8%)Zarabanda |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zarabanda 11/1, Successful 3 times in 2023 but in-and-out form this season, not seen to best effect when seventh of in listed race at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Has work to do back in handicap company. Mixed form in Listed races on last three runs but has a good record in h'caps; interesting. |
|||
5th (8)  (10/1 -54%)Zenjabeela |
10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Zenjabeela 10/1, Dual winner last summer and having been largely disappointing in the early part of this season, confirmed her return to form when fourth of 15 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to firm) just under 2 weeks ago. Will need to improve again to open her account for the campaign. Promising fourth at York recently on first crack at 1m2f, when denied a clear run. |
|||
6th (7)  (15/8 +46%)Elladonna |
15/8(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Elladonna 15/8, Has shown improved form back up in trip fitted with a hood last 2 starts, scoring at Nottingham in May before comfortably following up at Salisbury (9.9f, good) just under 8 weeks ago by 1½ lengths from the reopposing Roarin' Success. Not taken lightly despite the omission of headgear. 2-2 in the hood; left off today but she's just the type of filly her trainer excels with. |
|||
7th (3)  (15/2 +6%)Wisper |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wisper 15/2, Arrives in good order, finishing runner-up for a third time this season at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) 23 days ago, just no match for a 3-y-o who enjoyed the run of things. Should continue to give a good account. Beaten on last 12 runs but is in fine form; hasn't enjoyed run of the race the last twice. |
|||
8th (5)  (8/1 +27%)Nocturnal |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Nocturnal 8/1, Form of her August Lingfield win has worked out and she followed up with any amount in hand on her all-weather debut after 8 months off at Wolverhampton in March. Never landed a blow in the Sandringham but back on track when sixth of 12 at Goodwood just over 5 weeks ago. Now upped to 1¼m. Improvement needed on third handicap start but she could improve now upped to 1m2f. |
|||
9th (2)  (8/1 -100%)Naaey |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Naaey 8/1, Persevered with by her top yard and duly got back on the up in taking fashion when landing 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 19 days ago, leading over 1f out and well on top finish. Up 6 lb for that success but she remains unexposed so is high on the shortlist. Did it comfortably at Doncaster in her second handicap; a 6lb rise may not stop her. |
|||
10th (10)  (22/1 -10%)Prenup |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Prenup 22/1, Made it to the track only 3 times this year and last seen tailed off at York (10.2f, good to soft) 3 months ago. Hard to enthuse over despite her slipping mark. On a competitive mark but flopped at York latest; hard to be confident on the back of that. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Having justified strong support in the market when scoring at Doncaster last month, there is likely more to come from NAAEY. A 6lb higher rating looks far from insurmountable for the lightly-raced four-year-old and another win could be on the cards. The hat-trick seeking Elladonna has proved a different proposition since racing over 1m2f, as evidenced with victories at Nottingham and Salisbury. James Fanshawe's filly is feared most, ahead of Wisper.
NAAEY justified strong support when bolting up at Doncaster last month and with further progress on the cards, John & Thady Gosden's 4-y-o is fancied to notch career success number 3 at the expense of Elladonna, who arrives on a hat-trick but rather curiously has the hood discarded on this occasion. Warda Jamila looks the most interesting of the 3-y-os so she completes the shortlist.
The Gosden-trained NAAEY (nap) looked a lightly raced 4yo to follow when winning with something to spare at Doncaster.

1st (3)  (5/2 -25%)Free Speech |
5/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Free Speech 5/2, Doubled her career tally in first-time cheekpieces in 7-runner handicap at Pontefract (12f, soft, 2/1) 58 days ago, soon clear. Nudged up 5 lb and likely to give another good account. Most consistent since handicapping, winning at Pontefract (1m4f) latest; should go well. |
|||
2nd (1)  (11/2 -193%)D Day Arvalenreeva |
11/2(-193%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) D Day Arvalenreeva 11/2, Narrowly held on return at Leicester in May and looked unlucky not to score in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) the following month, denied a clear run. Just 1 lb higher now and holds strong claims. Close second both runs this year, looking a bit unlucky at Windsor latterly; key player. |
|||
3rd (4)  (9/4 +65%)Muqinah |
9/4(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Muqinah 9/4, Just minor promise so far but looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind, so no surprise to see her fare better, especially now stepping up further in trip. Comfortably held in three novice runs but well bred and could improve in handicaps. |
|||
4th (5)  (10/1 -25%)Little Miss India |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Little Miss India 10/1, Showed a bit more than previously stepping up in trip when fifth of 13 in a 10f novice at Leicester (good to soft, 66/1) 49 days ago. Makes handicap debut. More required. William Buick booked for handicap debut so needs monitoring closely in the betting. |
|||
5th (2)  (11/4 +31%)Fun Loving |
11/4(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fun Loving 11/4, Improved in first-time blinkers when winning 9-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) in August, battling well. Ran to a similar level upped in trip when third at Ripon (12f) 19 days ago and good chance if first-time visor can eke out a bit more improvement. Won at Nottingham (1m2f) and third at Ripon (1m4f) last month; new headgear now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The application of first-time cheekpieces enabled a career-best performance from FREE SPEECH when she scored in ready fashion at Pontefract in July. Ed Dunlop's filly could make light work of a 5lb rise in the ratings and she shades the verdict over D Day Arvalenreeva. The daughter of Mastercraftsman arrives on the back of a close-up second at Windsor and another prominent showing looks assured. Fun Loving is also noted.
D DAY ARVALENREEVA looked mightily unlucky not to win at Windsor on her most recent outing in June, having had to wait for a gap for the best part of 2f, so she's taken to gain compensation. Free Speech doubled her career tally in fine style at Pontefract in July and seems likely to give another good account, while Muqinah is an interesting handicap debutante.
In a tight finale D DAY ARVALENREEVA is narrowly preferred to Free Speech.

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.
