1st (1) (9/4 -105%) Ultramarine |
9/4(-105%) | (1) Ultramarine 9/4, Put it all together in recent months and made it 2 wins from last 3 starts when landing 9-runner Wolverhampton handicap (7f) 18 days ago, always travelling well and just holding on. Big shout once more. Won on AW in two of his last three runs, including at Wolverhampton last time; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/4 +50%) Bowood |
5/4(+50%) | (2) Bowood 5/4, 11/4, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 15 days ago, headway inside final 1f and running on. Definite possibilities with blinkers now the headgear of choice. Placed in 7f AW handicaps in last three starts and should go well again; new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/2 +29%) Conquest Of Power |
5/2(+29%) | (4) Conquest Of Power 5/2, 5f winner as a juvenile who got back on track in refitted cheekpieces during second half of last year, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago, challenging over 1f out and keeping on. In good form since returned to AW and he's respected on this step up to 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (20/1 +20%) Renesmee |
20/1(+20%) | (3) Renesmee 20/1, Successful at odds of 40/1 on yard debut in August but not scaled same heights since, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, 80/1) 31 days ago. Has fallen back down to last winning mark but not easy to warm to at present. Won at Yarmouth in August but has struggled in three runs for this yard since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (40/1 -100%) Lady Manyara |
40/1(-100%) | (5) Lady Manyara 40/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 66/1) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and first-time visor needs to have positive effect now. Has struggled in all three handicaps and has a lot to prove; visor added. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It might have taken ULTRAMARINE 21 attempts to open his account, but the son of Zoffany soon doubled that tally. David Evans' charge remains competitively treated judged on past exploits, so a 3lb rise for last month's Wolverhampton victory should not prevent him from mounting another stern challenge. First-time blinkers could elicit some improvement from Bowood, who continues to run well in defeat. Conquest Of Power tackles 7f for the first time and that looks a positive move.
A tricky opener with the narrow vote in favour of BOWOOD. He's run well all 3 starts since the cheekpieces were applied and, now equipped with blinkers, he could be worth chancing to finally shed the maiden tag. Ultramarine arrives having landed 2 of his last 3 starts and is feared most, ahead of Conquest of Power.
The vote goes to ULTRAMARINE who has won on AW in two of his last three runs. Bowood is feared most, ahead of Conquest Of Power

West Coast Boy |
(3) (250/1 -150%)250/1(-150%) | (3) West Coast Boy 250/1, Once-raced gelding. 66/1, last of 12 in maiden at Southwell (5f) on debut 22 days ago. Up in trip. 66-1 and tailed off on debut at Southwell (5f) three weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (4) (11/8 -25%) Fire Demon |
11/8(-25%) | (4) Fire Demon 11/8, Dark Angel colt who was unable to justify cramped odds but again ran well when third of 14 in a 7f novice here in September. Sound claims back from 4 months off despite a wide draw to contend with. Bred to be useful; twice placed over 7f as a 2yo; drop back to 6f seems a sensible move. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/2 +42%) Nemov |
7/2(+42%) | (6) Nemov 7/2, Blue Point colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Zonderland and useful 1¼m winner Whitlock. Plenty to like on paper and Rossa Ryan is an interesting jockey booking. Well worth a look. Useful pedigree; originally due to make debut at Ascot last September; watch the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (150/1 -50%) Spirited Lad |
150/1(-50%) | (7) Spirited Lad 150/1, Once-raced colt. 250/1, hinted at ability when seventh of 12 in minor event at this C&D on debut 52 days ago. Probably one for further down the line/when tackling longer trips. 250-1 and just minor promise on November's C&D debut; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (11/4 +39%) Tourist |
11/4(+39%) | (9) Tourist 11/4, Lightly-raced gelding. First run since leaving G. M. Lyons when bit below form third of 9 in minor event (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 28 days ago, not ideally placed. Two seconds and two thirds from his five runs; solid credentials. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (15/2 -67%) Thunder Flow |
15/2(-67%) | (8) Thunder Flow 15/2, Once-raced colt. 13/2, never better than midfield when eighth of 15 in minor event at York (6f, heavy) on debut 85 days ago. Leading yard now reach for a first-time tongue tie and much better can be expected. No threat after slow start when eighth at York; improvement needed but possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (12/1 -20%) Runaround Sioux |
12/1(-20%) | (10) Runaround Sioux 12/1, Once-raced filly. 18/1, shaped as if needing experience when fifth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, firm) on debut in June, finding the penny dropping late on. Should do better back from 7 months off. Clear signs of ability when fifth on only outing last summer; should improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (250/1 -400%) Floating Voter |
250/1(-400%) | (5) Floating Voter 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. 25/1, eighth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago, outpaced home turn and soon beaten. Can only be watched at present. Didn't show much in two races as a 2yo seven months apart; needs significant improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (25/1 -213%) Mapogo |
25/1(-213%) | (1) Mapogo 25/1, Down the field both starts in bumpers. More encouragement switched to Flat, again running to a fair level when fourth of 10 in novice company at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 7 days ago. However, handicaps/over further may be more his bag. Third quick run; can't be ruled out but may be of more interest when handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (150/1 -355%) Tonal |
150/1(-355%) | (2) Tonal 150/1, Fair form when 8½ lengths seventh of 9 to Swing Vote in newcomers race at Chantilly in March but well held in maiden at Saint-Cloud 3 months later. Sold from C. Laffon-Parias €24,000 (also gelded) and he could well be another more for handicaps moving forward. Down the field twice in France; probably best watched unless strong in the market. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having bumped into the classy Dancing Gemini at Newbury in August, it was perhaps a little disappointing that FIRE DEMON was unable to score over 7f here a few weeks later. However, given that Andrew Balding's colt hasn't been able to see out the longer trip, the drop to 6f might be ideal. Tourist is closely matched with the selection on official ratings so he is expected to be the main danger. Thunder Flow is also noted.
FIRE DEMON ran with credit without being able to justify cramped odds here in September, yet Andrew Balding's charge had previously shaped most promisingly when chasing home a subsequent listed winner at Newbury in the summer and he's well worth another chance now dropping back to 6f. Tourist looks a threat on the back of his good Wolverhampton run ahead of Thunder Flow. Newcomer Nemov needs monitoring in the betting for clues.
Those with form are headed by FIRE DEMON and Tourist, with slight preference for Andrew Balding's son of Dark Angel.

Persian Bliss |
(6) (8/1 -143%)8/1(-143%) | (6) Persian Bliss 8/1, 45,000 gns foal, €70,000 yearling, Advertise colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Alwasmiya and 1m winner Willyorwon't He. Wears tongue strap. One to monitor closely in the betting. Half-brother to three winners; tongue-tied on debut; check the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) (9/1 +36%) Newsreader |
9/1(+36%) | (5) Newsreader 9/1, Once-raced maiden. 8¼ lengths seventh of 14 to Lessay in minor event at this C&D (150/1) on debut 24 days ago, never nearer. Should progress. Over 8l behind Lessay on C&D debut but showed promise with late headway; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/6 +17%) Lessay |
5/6(+17%) | (4) Lessay 5/6, Promising individual. Won 14-runner minor event at this C&D (10/1) on debut 24 days ago. Open to improvement and will prove a tough nut to crack. Plenty to like about last month's C&D debut success; more to come and he can make it 2-2. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (5/2 +44%) Rogue Raider |
5/2(+44%) | (7) Rogue Raider 5/2, $150,000 yearling, 50,000 gns 2-y-o, More Than Ready gelding. Dam once-raced half-sister to Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Hootenanny. Interesting to see which way he goes in the betting. Newcomer to keep a close eye on in the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (20/1 -100%) Pascal's Pal |
20/1(-100%) | (10) Pascal's Pal 20/1, Wootton Bassett filly. Dam French 2-y-o 9f winner out of useful 5f/5.5f winner Kerasona. Well worth a second look in the betting. Makes some paper appeal and would come into it if the market vibes are strong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (40/1 -21%) Cherry King |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Cherry King 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (50/1) 47 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Unlikely to come into his own until handicapping judged on his two starts in the autumn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (80/1 -220%) Electric Avenue |
80/1(-220%) | (3) Electric Avenue 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/1, fourth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 42 days ago, very slowly away. Open to improvement. Well-held fourth of six on her 1m Lingfield debut; a lot of improvement is needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (18/1 +45%) Ring That Bell |
18/1(+45%) | (11) Ring That Bell 18/1, Once-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 13 in minor event at this course (8f) on debut 24 days ago. Probably more one for the longer-term. 150-1 and never involved on last month's 1m debut here; needs to have come on a lot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (50/1 -400%) Lewis Barnes |
50/1(-400%) | (1) Lewis Barnes 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 11 in maiden (66/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 33 days ago, having run of race. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Left debut behind when 4l second over 7f at Wolverhampton; may do better again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (80/1 -142%) Onelastcall |
80/1(-142%) | (9) Onelastcall 80/1, Mayson filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), sister to smart winner up to 1½m Kidmenever. Entitled to come on for the run. Betting probably the best guide to expectations with this Mayson filly on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (250/1 -150%) Dizziwizzbang |
250/1(-150%) | (12) Dizziwizzbang 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 13 in maiden at this course (8f) 24 days ago. Hard to warm to. Failed to beat a rival in two starts here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (250/1 -400%) Eadha |
250/1(-400%) | (2) Eadha 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, last of 3 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 16 days ago. Big step forward needed. Didn't achieve much when well-held last of three latest; others are preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A C&D winner on his debut, Lessay is expected to prove popular under the penalty, but a chance can be taken on ROGUE RAIDER. Tom Clover has a solid record with three-year-olds on the all-weather in recent times and his newcomer, a well-related son of More Than Ready, might not have to be anything too far out of the ordinary. Persian Bliss will need monitoring in the betting ahead of his first start, and Lewis Barnes should not be underestimated either.
LESSAY got on top close home when making a winning debut over C&D last month and, with improvement on the cards, he looks the way to go. Newcomers Rogue Raider and Persian Bliss are both appealing on paper, while Newsreader showed promise on debut and is also worth considering.
There was plenty to like about the way LESSAY went about things when scoring on his C&D debut last month and he's taken to follow up.

1st (4) (4/1 +11%) Talis Evolvere |
4/1(+11%) | (4) Talis Evolvere 4/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 15/8, creditable 2¼ lengths second of 11 to Top Secret in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago. Merits consideration. Progressive; won at Wolverhampton before 2nd to Top Secret over C&D; should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/2 +38%) Aratus |
5/2(+38%) | (1) Aratus 5/2, Course winner. Last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 6/4) 31 days ago, slowly away. Good effort on penultimate outing and might get back on track. Settled better than is sometimes the case when second here (7f) in November but held since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (9/1 -29%) United Front |
9/1(-29%) | (8) United Front 9/1, 7/2, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago, not much room. Slipping to a handy mark and was much better than the result last time. Considered. On a dangerous mark but he's not obviously shaping as if likely to take advantage. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (22/1 -57%) Plantadream |
22/1(-57%) | (7) Plantadream 22/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving John Best when 4 lengths sixth of 11 to Top Secret in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 17 days ago, nearest finish. Not discounted. Shaped as retaining ability on recent return from a very long absence; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (5/1 -11%) Court Of Session |
5/1(-11%) | (3) Court Of Session 5/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (2/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 26 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Reacted well to cheekpieces lately, second at Southwell before winning at Chelmsford (1m). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (125/1 -400%) Good Too |
125/1(-400%) | (6) Good Too 125/1, First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when 6¼ lengths last of 11 to Top Secret in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. Last of 11 to Top Secret over C&D on recent stable debut; can only be watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (9/4 +0%) Top Secret |
9/4(+0%) | (2) Top Secret 9/4, 9/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 17 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Talis Evolvere. Worth a chance to follow up. Enhanced good AW record when seeing off Talis Evolvere over C&D last month; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (25/1 -178%) Crystal Casque |
25/1(-178%) | (5) Crystal Casque 25/1, 3-time C&D winner. Five wins from 13 runs last year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 25/1) 14 days ago. Not dismissed. Recent Lingfield win came in weaker race but she's only 1lb higher and goes well here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
TOP SECRET ran out a comfortable winner on his latest C&D outing just before Christmas and the seven-year-old, who remains lightly raced on the all-weather, could have more to offer, despite a 6lb rise. Talis Evolvere chased home the selection on that occasion and the consistent performer is likely to be in the mix once again. Court Of Session and Aratus are others to consider.
TOP SECRET was well on toip when beating Talis Evolvere over C&D last time and is worth a chance to follow up at the possible expense of the same rival, who is respected. United Front has become well treated and is worthy of consideration after having no luck last time.
It was quite impressive the way TOP SECRET quickened up over C&D last month and he can extend his winning course sequence to four.

1st (8) (9/2 +25%) Brazen Idol |
9/2(+25%) | (8) Brazen Idol 9/2, C&D winner. Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Latest win at Ffos Las in September. 7/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago. Worth considering. Two sound efforts last month and this C&D winner looks set to go well once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/1 +0%) Bosh |
4/1(+0%) | (2) Bosh 4/1, 13/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 24 days ago. Enters calculations. Not much racing since 2yo days but retains ability; chance if repeating latest 3rd. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 +29%) Aljari |
5/1(+29%) | (1) Aljari 5/1, Seven wins from 27 Flat runs. Three wins from 5 runs last year. Eighth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 107 days. Something to find on form. Completed a hat-trick last summer but off since a lesser run in September; not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/1 -29%) Blind Beggar |
9/1(-29%) | (3) Blind Beggar 9/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 7/1) 25 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. As good as ever last year, winning twice over 5f; below par latest; others look stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/1 -57%) Expert Agent |
11/1(-57%) | (5) Expert Agent 11/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 9 runs last year. First run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when last of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 24 days ago. Others have achieved more. Conditions fine and back to his last winning mark; needs to step up on recent stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (12/1 -71%) Masterclass |
12/1(-71%) | (9) Masterclass 12/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 11/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Can get involved if the race is run to suit. 5f too sharp last time but he still ran well enough; each-way claims back at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (13/2 -30%) Tyger Bay |
13/2(-30%) | (7) Tyger Bay 13/2, 4-time C&D winner. 4/1, won 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 33 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Heading back in the right direction recently. Came from off a strong pace to win cosily at Wolverhampton last month; still on fair mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (16/1 -45%) Walking On Clouds |
16/1(-45%) | (6) Walking On Clouds 16/1, Four wins from 17 runs last year. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 15/2) 15 days ago, never nearer. Not dismissed. Return to 6f will suit and he's one to consider off an easing mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (5/1 +23%) Rocking Ends |
5/1(+23%) | (4) Rocking Ends 5/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 10/1) 24 days ago. Others make more appeal. Failed to win last year but conditions suit and he's on a good mark; one to consider. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
BRAZEN IDOL has run with credit in a couple of recent efforts at Wolverhampton and the return to this venue, where he scored on his only prior visit in September 2022, may help him back to winning ways. Tyger Bay went up 4lb for his latest success at Wolverhampton, with the selection perhaps needing the run when fading into fourth, and has to enter calculations. Bosh, Aljari and Expert Agent complete the shortlist.
TYGER BAY confirmed previous promise when arriving late to score at Wolverhampton 33 days ago and he has an excellent record at this track, so he gets the nod over Bosh and Masterclass, who both arrive on the back of solid efforts.
Several are possibles but BRAZEN IDOL still looks on a handy mark and he's preferred to Rocking Ends and Masterclass.

9/1(-50%) | (8) Red Flyer 9/1, Course winner. Again ran well when second of 12 in handicap (6/1) at this course (12f) when last seen in October, clear of rest. Enters calculations as he goes back up in distance. Enhanced fine Kempton record when second over 1m4f in October; stays 2m; shortlisted. |

2nd (1) (11/1 -47%) Citizen General |
11/1(-47%) | (1) Citizen General 11/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs, latest success at Pontefract in August. With headgear reapplied, back to form when fourth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 31 days ago. Could still have more to offer at this trip. Back to form when fourth of 14 over C&D last month; unlikely to be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (12/1 +14%) The Thunderer |
12/1(+14%) | (6) The Thunderer 12/1, Course winner. After 12 weeks off, fifth of 7 in steadily-run handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 28 days ago. Needs to find more upped to 2m for the first time. Unplaced all four starts since joining Stuart Williams and unproven beyond 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (2/1 +73%) Bascule |
2/1(+73%) | (2) Bascule 2/1, After 7 months off, needer stiffer test when fourth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 28 days ago. Could take a step forward from his recent run returned to this longer trip. Major player back down in grade. Shaped well after break with Wolverhampton fourth over inadequate 1m4f; high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/2 +30%) Sarsons Risk |
7/2(+30%) | (5) Sarsons Risk 7/2, Improved from his recent outing when winning 9-runner handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 9/1) 22 days ago, well on top finish. Not taken lightly now that he's back up and running. Won at Southwell three weeks ago; 4lb rise does not look insurmountable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 -200%) True Courage |
33/1(-200%) | (7) True Courage 33/1, Course winner. Got his head back in front again at Chelmsford City (13.3f) in November, but failed to repeat that effort when last of 8 in handicap (15/2) at the same course (14f) 23 days ago. Bounce back called for. Followed Chelmsford win in November with poor run on same course; stamina to prove over 2m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (16/1 -33%) First Emperor |
16/1(-33%) | (3) First Emperor 16/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 16 runs in 2023 but ended the season below form, eighth of 14 in handicap at York (16.2f, good to firm, 40/1) when last seen in August. Has had a wind op ahead of his return. Ended 2023 out of form; now returns after gelding/breathing ops; others have less to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (9/1 -80%) Moliwood |
9/1(-80%) | (4) Moliwood 9/1, C&D winner. After 13 months off, proved he retains his ability when 1¾ lengths second of 8 to True Courage in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 58 days ago. One to consider with return to this longer trip to suit. Pleasing return from over a year off when second at Chelmsford; commands major respect. |

9th (12) (6/1 +14%) Planet Legend |
6/1(+14%) | (12) Planet Legend 6/1, Dual winner over hurdles since last seen on the Flat back in October 2022. Failed to come on for recent outing when seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good, 16/1) 42 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. First Flat run since October 2022; below par over hurdles lately but can't be ruled out. |

10th (11) (150/1 -971%) Indigo Times |
150/1(-971%) | (11) Indigo Times 150/1, C&D winner. Seven wins from 23 Flat runs. Had only the 3 starts back in 2022, returning to form when second of 4 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good to firm. 9/1) in July that year. However, he's been off for 17 months since. Current mark is 2lb below last winning one but he has a 539-day absence to overcome. |

11th (9) (50/1 -257%) Blow Your Horn |
50/1(-257%) | (9) Blow Your Horn 50/1, Completed a hat-trick over staying trips last summer but found things tougher on his next 3 starts. Little impact tried over hurdles to end 2023, seventh of 13 at Southwell (15.8f, soft, 25/1) 20 days ago. Completed hat-trick last June but wellbeing in doubt after two poor runs over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (16/1 -100%) Glenister |
16/1(-100%) | (10) Glenister 16/1, First run since leaving Sir Mark Prescott Bt when creditable third of 13 in handicap at this course (12f, 22/1) 17 days ago. Can give his running again having his first try at this distance. Not far off best when third over 1m4f here on stable debut; shapes as if he'll stay 2m. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
RED FLYER was just under four lengths clear of the third when runner-up over 1m4f here in October and has been put up 3lb for that effort. The son of Free Eagle shouldn't have any issues with the return to this sort of trip and could go one better. The main danger might be Citizen General, who wasn't beaten far into fourth over C&D last month and should go well off the same mark. Southwell winner Sarsons Risk is another to keep an eye on.
After 7 months off, BASCULE needed the emphasis more on stamina when fourth at Wolverhampton in December, so he could be ready to return to winning ways with this step back up in trip to suit. Heading the list of dangers is Sarsons Risk, who stepped up on his recent form when scoring at Southwell last time, with Red Flyer completing the shortlist.
An encouraging first run back after an absence makes the claims of MOLIWOOD (nap) persuasive, with Bascule a strong second choice.

1st (1) (17/2 +15%) The Bay Warrior |
17/2(+15%) | (1) The Bay Warrior 17/2, With headgear reapplied, returned to form when fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 8/1) 16 days ago. Capable of getting involved having dropped to a handy mark. Ran well for long way at Chelmsford (1m6f) last time and he looks interesting back in trip. |

2nd (8) (9/4 +36%) Trusty Scout |
9/4(+36%) | (8) Trusty Scout 9/4, Successful here in November and backed up that effort when third of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 32 days ago, short of room final 1f. Can resume winning ways in his current mood. Win and good third over 1m4f in last two runs and he should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/1 -29%) Stintino Sunset |
9/1(-29%) | (6) Stintino Sunset 9/1, Doubled her tally when successful at Chelmsford City in November. Not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 5/1) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Needs everything to drop right. Two 1m2f wins; had excuse at 1m4f latest and this trip should be within range; dangerous. |

4th (11) (17/2 -42%) Optik |
17/2(-42%) | (11) Optik 17/2, After 5 months off, had hopeless task from position when sixth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 10 days ago. More needed back up in trip as he looks to gain a first victory. Has claims on his best form last year and he looks interesting back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/2 -22%) Distinction |
11/2(-22%) | (7) Distinction 11/2, Ended long losing run when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December. Ran creditably under a penalty when fourth of 10 in handicap at the same C&D (18/5) 11 days ago, so he can give another good account on his polytrack debut. In good form on Tapeta last month and he looks worth a try at this new trip; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (10/3 +33%) Fiddlers Green |
10/3(+33%) | (5) Fiddlers Green 10/3, Shaped quite well under circumstances when fourth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 56 days ago, racing freely in steadily-run race. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he could yet do better upped further in trip. Promising fourth at Chelmsford (1m2f) latest and he could get involved at this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (12/1 -71%) Qeyaady |
12/1(-71%) | (10) Qeyaady 12/1, Seventeen runs since his sole success in 2021. However, back on track when third of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 2 weeks ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Placed at Lingfield last time but sole win was in 2021 and others are more convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (18/1 -200%) Latest Edition |
18/1(-200%) | (3) Latest Edition 18/1, Having been eased further in the weights, ran up to her best when fourth of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 16 days ago. Makes polytrack debut with cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make her presence felt. 0-7 but fair fourth at Southwell (1m3f) latest and has claims if she can build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (100/1 -300%) Fantizzy |
100/1(-300%) | (2) Fantizzy 100/1, Making all-weather debut on her first run since leaving Steph Hollinshead, fared no better when twelfth of 14 in handicap (80/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for. Ten-race maiden who has struggled in last four runs and has a lot to prove; headgear on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (25/1 -25%) Lemon Ice |
25/1(-25%) | (4) Lemon Ice 25/1, Fair maiden in Ireland when last seen on the Flat in 2022. After 10 months off and in first-time blinkers, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy, 11/1) 25 days ago. Others preferred on her polytrack debut. Has struggled over hurdles for current yard and comes with risks attached back on the Flat. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LATEST EDITION took a fierce hold but still managed to finish fourth over this trip at Southwell, and she has been left on the same mark. The daughter of Ribchester goes in first-time cheekpieces, which could spark the improvement needed for her to break through. Trusty Scout didn't get the best of luck when third at Wolverhampton and could get closer with a clearer passage off the same rating. Distinction is another to note.
TRUSTY SCOUT has left behind a poor effort over hurdles returned to the Flat on his last 2 starts, winning at this course in November before meeting trouble when third at Wolverhampton last time. He can continue his good run of form to score again, with Latest Edition feared most having dropped to a workable mark. Fiddlers Green is also considered.
An open race in which the vote goes to OPTIK, who looks interesting back up in trip on his second run after an absence.

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.
