---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (9/1 +36%) Shardam |
9/1(+36%) | (6) Shardam 9/1, Too Darn Hot filly who shaped as if in need of the experience when fifth of 6 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, good) on debut 4 months ago. Has since left Mrs J. Harrington and market support should be noted. Only 5th of six on debut in Ireland (7f, good) but that was a strong race; more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (13/2 -18%) Marama |
13/2(-18%) | (4) Marama 13/2, Foaled March 16. Sea The Moon filly. Half-sister to 1½m-16.2f winner Mostly Sunny. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1¼m winner French Dressing out of smart winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 6f winner) Foodbroker Fancy. Worth a second look for her top yard. Half-sister to winning stayer Mostly Sunny (RPR 88); market check advised on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (17/2 -13%) Rouge Sellier |
17/2(-13%) | (5) Rouge Sellier 17/2, Foaled February 19. 260,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega filly. Closely related to winner up to 1m Lumiere and 7f-1¼m winner Sheikha Reika and half-sister to 3 winners, including 1½m winner Silent Movie. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Probably one for later on given yard not renowned for winning debutantes. 260,000gns yearling; bred to be smart and she needs a market check on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (5/1 +9%) Zainabb |
5/1(+9%) | (7) Zainabb 5/1, Has shown a fair bit in Newmarket newcomers' race/Beverley maiden and can progress upped slightly in trip. Two promising efforts on quicker ground; 1m should suit; more to come and she's a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (5/6 +9%) Bolsena |
5/6(+9%) | (3) Bolsena 5/6, Kingman filly who is bred to be above average and produced a promising first effort when runner-up at this C&D (good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago, doing well to finish as close as she did given how green she was. Rates the one to beat with improvement anticipated. Pleasing debut over C&D three weeks ago; bred to be top class; of obvious interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (14/1 -40%) Allonsy |
14/1(-40%) | (1) Allonsy 14/1, Showed promise when fifth in a Kempton novice on debut but went backwards from that effort when well held in a maiden there earlier in the month. Needs to step up on her two 7f AW runs but that's quite possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (33/1 +34%) Autumn Rose |
33/1(+34%) | (2) Autumn Rose 33/1, Modest form shown on all 3 starts since her debut (for Joseph O'Brien) but failed to improve for the switch to handicaps when sent off favourite at Leicester (7f, soft) earlier this month. Upped further in trip. Shown some promise but latest defeat came in a Class 6 nursery; lots more needed here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BOLSENA made a very promising start to her career when only beaten half a length over C&D on her racecourse debut and she looks the one to beat in this field. Kevin Ryan's filly showed some inexperience on that occasion, notably racing quite keenly, yet she still went close and she can be seen to better effect today. Marama rates as the biggest danger with the daughter of Sea The Moon representing powerful connections, while Zainabb should also be thereabouts.
It's hard to get away from BOLSENA, who did well to finish as close as she did given how green she was when runner-up over C&D just over 3 weeks ago. She can get the better of Zainabb, who has shown plenty of ability on both outings so far and can take another step forward here. Marama looks a newcomer to note for her top yard, so she rounds off the shortlist.
A few runners of interest but BOLSENA gets the vote on the back of her promising debut here three weeks ago.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (9) (8/1 +6%) Never Dark |
8/1(+6%) | (9) Never Dark 8/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Hamilton in August. Shaped well for a long way in Ayr Silver Cup last week and return to 5f will suit. 2 lb out of weights. Ran well for a long way in the Ayr Silver Cup and this trip more suitable; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (12/1 -33%) Spoof |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Spoof 12/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in August. Not seen to best effect when ninth of 11 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, good to soft) next time so can bounce back with conditions no problem. Three 5f wins this year but below par at Chester latest (raced freely); needs a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (14/1 -56%) Woolhampton |
14/1(-56%) | (8) Woolhampton 14/1, Has taken well to the fitting of blinkers and didn't need to improve to record a first success in handicap company in 7-runner heat at Ascot in July. Back to best when third there 3 weeks ago but she's yet to race on soft going like this. Two good runs at Ascot in recent months but ground a query and she's hit and miss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (2.75/1 +21%) Manila Scouse |
2.75/1(+21%) | (6) Manila Scouse 2.75/1, Reliable sort who won over C&D and Chepstow in August. Excuses next 2 starts before close third of 19 at York last week and needs considering. C&D win on heavy last month; ran right up to his best when 3rd at York last week; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/2 +22%) Silky Wilkie |
7/2(+22%) | (1) Silky Wilkie 7/2, Impressive winner of the Scottish Sprint Cup at Musselburgh (5f, soft) during the spring and largely creditable efforts since, including in listed events last 2 starts. Not taken lightly back in a handicap. Capable of a big run off this mark but whether he wants the ground this slow a moot point. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (16/1 +36%) Mondammej |
16/1(+36%) | (4) Mondammej 16/1, Useful gelding at his best but is on a lengthy losing run and has been below form in recent outings too. Easy to look elsewhere. Down in the weights but he's been more miss than hit in 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (15/2 +12%) Arecibo |
15/2(+12%) | (5) Arecibo 15/2, Acquitted himself well in defeat on several occasions this year, including when creditable third of 12 in handicap over C&D penultimate start. Well held at York since but type to bounce back off career-low mark. On losing run but he's often threatened and conditions hold no terrors; each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (11/2 -57%) Proverb |
11/2(-57%) | (2) Proverb 11/2, Listed winner at 2 yrs and back to that level fitted with headgear when fifth of 19 in handicap at York (5f, soft) 7 days ago, faring best of those held up. Respected off same mark. Eyecatching headway at York last week and well handicapped now; slowly away the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (12/1 +25%) Clearpoint |
12/1(+25%) | (7) Clearpoint 12/1, Won first 2 starts last year and got back on track when fifth in a handicap at Thirsk on return. However, well held at Royal Ascot next time and has since been sold (and gelded) from Richard Fahey for 22,000 gns in September. Poor draws for Richard Fahey this year; sold 22,000gns this month; reduced mark; chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
There are plenty in with chances here and the tentative vote goes to WOOLHAMPTON, who bounced back to form when third over 5f at Ascot last time and she appears likely to offer another bold bid. Rod Millman's charge was only beaten a length on that occasion and she wouldn't have to improve too much to get her head in front off the same mark. The consistent Silky Wilkie is likely to pose the biggest questions to the selection having been given a chance to feature by the handicapper, while Proverb caught the eye when finishing quickly for a good fifth over 5f at York last time and he can reverse the form with Manila Scouse (third) off 2lb better terms.
ARECIBO has mostly performed well in defeat this year and can end his losing run now off a career-low mark. This does look competitive, though, with Spoof and Manila Scouse heading the dangers.
Never Dark shouldn't be underestimated off his low weight but CLEARPOINT starts out for a new yard on a competitive mark.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (10) (9/2 -29%) Roach Power |
9/2(-29%) | (10) Roach Power 9/2, Capitalised on a reduced mark with success in 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft) 12 days ago. Back up 5 lb but he can still make his presence felt again. Form of recent 7f win (soft) working out nicely; 5lb rise in better race may find him out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (8/1 -14%) Knebworth |
8/1(-14%) | (7) Knebworth 8/1, C&D winner in July and not disgraced when fourth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 30 days ago, left poorly placed. Enters calculations. C&D winner in July and followed up at York one week later; high in weights now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/1 +8%) Lakota Blue |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Lakota Blue 11/1, Scored at Ripon in April and largely in good form since, fifth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, good) 20 days ago. Can go well again eased 1 lb. Conditions to suit and on a good mark; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7/1 +36%) Rock Opera |
7/1(+36%) | (8) Rock Opera 7/1, Fair 5f winner as a juvenile. Off 14 months/gelded before posting an encouraging fourth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Can take a step forward now. Unexposed 3yo who shaped nicely on his return from a long absence; slow ground a query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/2 -10%) Bernardo O'Reilly |
11/2(-10%) | (6) Bernardo O'Reilly 11/2, Reliable sort who landed 6f Newbury handicap in April. Posted another solid effort when fourth of 25 in Ayr Silver Cup 7 days ago so he's not taken lightly off a 1 lb lower mark here. 6f on slow ground in a well-run race suits ideally; good 4th at Ayr last week; e-w claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (18/1 -29%) Music Society |
18/1(-29%) | (9) Music Society 18/1, It's now twelve runs since his last win in 2022 and he came in only fourteenth of 20 in Ayr Bronze Cup 8 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Chance on this year's best but quiet more recently and others look stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 +56%) Royal Dress |
4/1(+56%) | (3) Royal Dress 4/1, Comfortable winner over 7f here in July but she beat only one in 7f York handicap last month. No surprise to see her get back on the premises here however. Seems ideally suited by slow ground and could have more to come on this surface. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (20/1 -233%) May Sonic |
20/1(-233%) | (4) May Sonic 20/1, Scored at Southwell in January and he is knocking on the door again, second of 14 in handicap there (5f) 17 days ago. Well in the mix. Knocking at the door over 5f; 6f on soft might stretch his stamina. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (9/1 +36%) Chairmanoftheboard |
9/1(+36%) | (1) Chairmanoftheboard 9/1, C&D winner. In good form until coming in twenty fourth of 27 in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 56 days ago. Sort to bounce back after a break though. C&D winner in October 2021, his last win; excuses latest; in good form earlier; e-w claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (17/2 +15%) Gulliver |
17/2(+15%) | (2) Gulliver 17/2, Resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f) in September and poorly drawn when well held in Ayr Silver Cup a week ago. Handily weighted and can get back on track in style here. Easy winner at Southwell this month before laboured run at Ayr last week; can do better. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
BERNARDO O'REILLY ran a very good race when fourth in the Silver Cup at Ayr last week and this looks a good opportunity for him to get his head back in front. Richard Spencer's runner was well backed on that occasion and he can gain compensation having been dropped 1lb in the ratings for that near three-length defeat. May Sonic appears primed to offer another bold bid after successive seconds at Newbury and Southwell respectively, while Knebworth is also worthy of serious consideration.
A case can be made for virtually all of these but GULLIVER didn't enjoy the rub of the green in the Ayr Silver Cup and can confirm himself well treated by bouncing back to winning ways. Bernardo O'Reilly came home fourth in that race and seems sure to go well again, while Roach Power, Chairmanoftheboard and May Sonic all warrant plenty of respect too.
Royal Dress is interesting back on slow ground but Chairmanoftheboard and LAKOTA BLUE can fight this out.

1st (4) (10/3 -48%) Otto Flash |
10/3(-48%) | (4) Otto Flash 10/3, 155,000 gns No Nay Never colt who was beaten 6 lengths when sixth of 10 on his recent Doncaster debut. He's in the right hands to progress. 14-1, showed a bit on 1m Doncaster debut a fortnight ago; entitled to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/4 +23%) Move On In |
5/4(+23%) | (2) Move On In 5/4, 12/1, fourth of 7 in at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago. From a leading yard so there's likely more to come. From a top yard and major player on the back of a promising opening fourth at Salisbury. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (15/8 +16%) Stay In The Game |
15/8(+16%) | (6) Stay In The Game 15/8, 10/1, showed ability when third of 10 in novice at Thirsk (7f, good to soft, 10/1) on debut 21 days ago. This trip should suit. May do better. Some promise when third on 7f Thirsk debut, shaping like 1m will suit; more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (40/1 +20%) Made All |
40/1(+20%) | (1) Made All 40/1, 50/1, eighth of 10 in novice (50/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) on debut 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. 50-1 when well held on 6f course debut 23 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (22/1 +33%) Mulciber |
22/1(+33%) | (3) Mulciber 22/1, 80/1 and tongue strap on, eleventh of 14 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 22 days ago. More one for the longer term on that evidence. Could be one for the longer term judged on his recent debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
John Quinn has enjoyed a fine season with his juveniles and STAY IN THE GAME looks capable of adding to his tally. The Too Darn Hot colt, a half-brother to four winners, just found things happening too quickly over a sharp 7f at Thirsk first time out but his third-placed finish bodes well for his chances over this extra furlong. Nicely-bred pair Move On In and Otto Flash also showed potential first time out and would have to be considered if attracting market support.
None of these bring a particularly high level of form to the table. MOVE ON IN achieved a bit more on his debut than fellow once-raced colts Otto Flash and Stay In The Game and is taken to provide Ralph Beckett with a second successive win in this.
There's not that much to separate MOVE ON IN, Otto Flash and Stay In The Game on debut form, the first-named getting the vote.

1st (7) (17/2 +29%) Sparks Fly |
17/2(+29%) | (7) Sparks Fly 17/2, Much improved switched to turf, completing a 6-timer in 1m Ayr handicap in July. Went off the boil in better company subsequently but back in handicaps after a short break now. Six-race winning run ended with a whimper but she could bounce back after break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (11/2 +50%) Millebosc |
11/2(+50%) | (11) Millebosc 11/2, Smart as a 3-y-o when trained in France. Hasn't kicked on this year but has shaped better than the result on a couple of occasions and could make his presence felt if everything clicks. Smart as 3yo; some initial promise for new yard but recent efforts less encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (8/1 +27%) Empirestateofmind |
8/1(+27%) | (6) Empirestateofmind 8/1, Improved during second half of 2022 and has generally held his form well this term. Lesser effort at Doncaster last time but likely to be back on his game with a visor fitted. Creditable third at Ascot last month but only midfield at Doncaster since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (8/1 -45%) Safe Voyage |
8/1(-45%) | (2) Safe Voyage 8/1, 4-time course winner. 10/3, won 7-runner handicap at Chester (7.6f, heavy) 55 days ago, slowly away. Likely to go well. 10yo who is still very useful, winning at Chester latest; has a very good course record. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (12/1 -71%) Helm Rock |
12/1(-71%) | (1) Helm Rock 12/1, Thriving of late, completing an AW double at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Just as effective on turf and another career-best effort can't be ruled out. Better with 1m AW wins lately but needs to show he's as good on turf; has won on soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (12/1 +14%) Racingbreaks Ryder |
12/1(+14%) | (10) Racingbreaks Ryder 12/1, Completed a four-timer at Ascot (7f) in May but has lost his form since. No show in strong events lately but no shock if he revives back at scene of a previous win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (12/1 +25%) Arkendale |
12/1(+25%) | (13) Arkendale 12/1, Fairly useful form, winning a 1m Thirsk novice (soft) in June on his final start for Ed Walker. Promising start for current stable at Chester last time and cheekpieces might bring out a big more. Won 1m novice on soft; good third over 1m2f+ on recent yard debut; cheekpieces on; claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (40/1 -43%) Boardman |
40/1(-43%) | (3) Boardman 40/1, Successful 3 times last season and right back to his best when landing a Chester handicap (7.6f) in May. Has struggled to make an impact since, though. Mark on the slide but largely below par since his Chester win in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (25/1 +11%) Brunch |
25/1(+11%) | (4) Brunch 25/1, Smart performer at his best, winner of back-to-back York handicaps in 2020 and successful in listed company the following year. However, he was well held on final start of last season in this corresponding race and largely below par so far this time round. Still useful on his day but ran poorly latest and has gone two years without a win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (11/2 +31%) Royal Dubai |
11/2(+31%) | (12) Royal Dubai 11/2, Winner at Chelmsford City in May. Has held form since and shaped like the trip stretched him somewhat at Yarmouth a month ago. Well respected back down in distance. Low-mileage 3yo; return to 1m a help but deep ground an unknown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (28/1 -56%) Bennetot |
28/1(-56%) | (5) Bennetot 28/1, Second of 4 in minor event (18/10) at Nantes (8f, good to firm). Off 121 days. First run for yard after leaving E. Monfort. Makes handicap debut. Worth a market check making British debut for shrewd stable. Useful in France and has joined a very good yard; market informative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (7/2 -17%) Enfjaar |
7/2(-17%) | (8) Enfjaar 7/2, Looked smart when winning maiden/novice events on first 2 starts. Couldn't cope with the step up to Group 3 company in the Jersey at Royal Ascot but given time since and retains plenty of potential with his sights lowered. Looked smart when winning first two runs; bombed in Group 3 in June but retains potential. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Former Group 2-winning veteran Safe Voyage took full advantage of a falling mark at Chester last time and remains of interest despite a 5lb rise, while similar sentiments apply to fellow last-time-out winners Helm Rock and Maywake, who have both been hit with a 6lb rise for career-best efforts. For all that, if there is any value here, it may lie with proven soft-ground performer MILLEBOSC, who could potentially relish this return to 1m from an ever-plummeting mark.
ENFJAAR found little in the Jersey at Royal Ascot three months ago but he'd looked highly promising before that and is worth a chance to get back on the up now handicapping. Last-time-out winners Maywake and Safe Voyage head the dangers.
3yos do well in this race so the vote goes to ENFJAAR (nap) who failed to fire in the Jersey but looked very promising prior to that.

Taygar |
(2) (12/1 -9%)12/1(-9%) | (2) Taygar 12/1, Made a successful debut at Beverley during the spring but it's fair to say that she hasn't managed to build on that since. Others preferred. Spring form stacks up well; 6f looked too sharp on nursery debut latest; more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) (9/2 -50%) Gone Rogue |
9/2(-50%) | (5) Gone Rogue 9/2, Promising second on debut over 6f at Hamilton (good to soft) and duly went one better upped to 7.2f at Musselburgh (good to firm), displaying a good attitude in the process. Likely to play a part here with further progress on the cards. Musselburgh win upped to 7f last month; that form looks modest & others make more appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 +0%) Burdett |
11/4(+0%) | (3) Burdett 11/4, Showed ability on debut at Epsom and duly built on that when narrowly prevailing in a Ffos Las maiden (7.4f, soft) recently. Opening mark looks fair and he should have more to offer. Narrow winning margin at Ffos Las may have masked his superiority; more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/3 +17%) Sea The Dream |
10/3(+17%) | (1) Sea The Dream 10/3, Stepped up on debut effort when going close in a C&D novice (soft) in July. Placed both starts over a mile since, latterly on nursery debut at Doncaster, and should have a part to play back down in trip. Ran well over C&D in July but no progress over 1m twice since; vulnerable to improvers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (2/1 +56%) Our Havana |
2/1(+56%) | (4) Our Havana 2/1, Showed improved form when second in a 12-runner Chester maiden (soft) upped to this trip 15 days ago. Finished nicely clear of the rest there and should make his presence felt now pitched into a nursery. Improved with each of his three runs in novice/maiden company; more to come in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 -100%) Defying Orders |
12/1(-100%) | (6) Defying Orders 12/1, Off the mark in a fast-ground Lingfield nursery in July and best effort since when keeping on into fourth in a 10-runner event at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) last time. Solid form claims but one or two of these arguably possess greater potential. 6f winner on fast ground in July; no progress since; longer trip needs to spark extra. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
You can make a fair case that OUR HAVANA has been let in lightly off an opening mark of 73, following a runner-up finish over 7f at Chester, and the son of Havana Grey can get off the mark on his handicap debut. The selection may get some pace pressure from Gone Rogue, who also moves into nurseries on the back of a good win at Musselburgh last time and won't go down easily. Burdett is another whose best days lie ahead and should be involved.
BURDETT and Gone Rogue both looked pretty professional second time out when landing maidens at Ffos Las and Musselburgh respectively, and they could be the pair to focus on here with likelihood of better to come. Marginal preference is for Burdett, for whom the forecast slow ground is of no concern. Defying Orders and Our Havana can do battle for minor honours.
Our Havana is improving with racing but BURDETT still has some potential and he is marginally preferred.

1st (6) (10/3 +5%) Cool Party |
10/3(+5%) | (6) Cool Party 10/3, Dual winner last year but hasn't really fired this season, though can have his latest run over C&D overlooked having been denied run on inner 2f out. Won 2 of 3 juvenile starts; little to excite this year but better latest; query about soft. |

2nd (2) (11/4 -38%) Prince Alex |
11/4(-38%) | (2) Prince Alex 11/4, Six wins from 20 Flat runs. Best effort of the season on his first outing since leaving Tom Dascombe when third in 6-runner handicap at Goodwood (14f, heavy) 35 days ago. Player if building on that. C&D winner; losing run goes back 2 years; lightly raced now; fair 3rd for new yard latest. |

3rd (5) (3/1 +40%) De Vega's Warrior |
3/1(+40%) | (5) De Vega's Warrior 3/1, Still a maiden but mostly creditable efforts in handicaps this term and will have no problem with conditions. Player. 0-15; eased a few pounds in the weights but limited impact over 1m6f on last two starts. |

4th (4) (9/4 +18%) Dark Jedi |
9/4(+18%) | (4) Dark Jedi 9/4, Not the force of old but his mark reflects that and he's threatening to come good soon, taking a step back in the right direction when fourth at York (11.8f, soft) last week. Of major interest. Latest win at 1m6f last autumn; had quiet year but down 17lb and better latest. |

5th (3) (18/1 +10%) Merveillo |
18/1(+10%) | (3) Merveillo 18/1, Useful performer at best on Flat but achieved just poor form over jumps and was below his best back in this sphere at Goodwood 25 days ago. Others preferred. Listed winner in France; fair run over 2m here in May 2022 but downhill since. |

6th (1) (50/1 -213%) Quian |
50/1(-213%) | (1) Quian 50/1, Smart in his prime and still capable of useful form in France last year. However, virtually refused to race at Doncaster in April and finished a well-held last of 5 at Les Landes on latest appearance, so has a fair bit to prove back from a break. Listed/Group winner at staying trips in Germany in 2020 but in very modest form of late. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Things haven't really clicked for DE VEGA'S WARRIOR since joining Mick Appleby but his mark has dropped as a result and he's in much calmer waters here today, so he could finally get off the mark. Cool Party will be dangerous if he's left alone on the lead on a track that suits his running style. Prince Alex has won over C&D in the past and shaped last time like he's coming to hand, so has to be considered.
DARK JEDI goes well in the mud and hinted he's ready to cash in on his much-reduced mark at York last week, so he earns the vote. De Vega's Warrior is feared most ahead of Prince Alex.
Queries about most of them but Dark Jedi and PRINCE ALEX both showed signs of life last time and are well handicapped now.

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.

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.
