1st (5)  (11/8 +59%)Charlie's Choice |
11/8(+59%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Charlie's Choice 11/8, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 3/1) 24 days ago, getting good split up the inner and staying on to lead last ½f. Respected up 4 lb back up in trip. Well backed when winning a Class 6 at Wolverhampton this month; one to consider. |
|||
2nd (6)  (14/1 -17%)Sea Of Charm |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sea Of Charm 14/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap (25/1) back at that venue (12.2f) 36 days ago, not ideally placed. Not at best on Boxing Day but pick of her AW efforts since September gives her a squeak. |
|||
3rd (7)  (5/2 +17%)Luna Effect |
5/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Luna Effect 5/2, 4/6, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 14 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he's expected to be in the shake up. 0-10 & expensive to follow but he's been knocking on the door off this mark; new headgear. |
|||
3rd (9)  (28/1 -40%)Grigio |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Grigio 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 48 days ago, weakening final 1f. Others preferred. No progress in two handicaps this winter; longer trip needs to spark something extra. |
|||
5th (1)  (16/1 -33%)Moonlit Cloud |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Moonlit Cloud 16/1, Back-to-back winner of turf handicaps last spring prior to good runners-up efforts next 2 starts (at 10f). Absent since finishing fifth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f) in August and this run could well be needed. Two turf wins last May; returns from a break but has shown promise over C&D. |
|||
6th (12)  (8/1 +33%)Mr Boson |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Mr Boson 8/1, 13/2, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago, weakening from 2f out. That was his first start for 8 months but he's not the easiest to weigh up. Ran well over 1m on h'cap debut here last May; sharper for recent return; new trip today. |
|||
7th (3)  (25/1 -108%)Lookingdandy |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lookingdandy 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Tenth of 12 on handicap debut in this sphere at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 150/1) 18 days ago, racing in midfield and never landing a blow. Assessor quick to relinquish his grip and betting may prove a useful guide. Not obviously well treated but Rossa Ryan booked and better could be on the cards. |
|||
8th (13)  (100/1 -100%)Logistical |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Logistical 100/1, 100/1, first run since leaving Tom Lacey when ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 17 days ago, losing place under 3f out. Visor goes back on now. 100-1 and never featured on recent stable debut; too much to prove for now. |
|||
9th (11)  (9/1 +10%)Star Of Sussex |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Star Of Sussex 9/1, 11/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 16 days ago, plenty to do under 2f out and late headway. Others more persuasive. No significant impact in handicaps but latest run did hint that better could be on the way. |
|||
10th (10)  (20/1 -233%)Gonnetot |
20/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Gonnetot 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden who improved on previous efforts when second of 6 on handicap debut at Newcastle (10.2f) in May, ridden 2f out and keeping on late. Longer trip promises to suit back from 8 months off and he's far less exposed than most. Promising handicap debut (1m2f) when last seen in May; still has time to do better. |
|||
11th (2)  (50/1 -317%)Let Her Loose |
50/1(-317%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Let Her Loose 50/1, Four wins from 10 runs last year. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 100/1) 11 days ago, shaken up over 3f out and making no impression. Mark has eased further and she's down in class here. Three heavy defeats this month but drops in class & Hollie Doyle takes over; check market. |
|||
12th (8)  (66/1 -230%)Sir Laurence Graff |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sir Laurence Graff 66/1, 40/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 29 days ago, no response having been headed over 2f out. Struggling for current stable but tumbling down weights & needs a market check. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Uzincso finished third over a mile here last week and he is feared off the same mark, though he doesn't look to be crying out for this step up in trip. With that in mind, preference is for CHARLIE'S CHOICE, who notched his first career victory earlier this month over an extended 1m1f, keeping on all the way to the line, and a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor him upped in trip. Luna Effect has finished second on his last two starts and his hopes of going one better rest on the application of cheekpieces helping him to find some improvement.
LUNA EFFECT was unable to get past a determined rival in a steadily-run affair at Newcastle recently but he remains one to be interested in from this sort of mark and first-time cheekpieces could well put an extra edge on him here. Wolverhampton scorer Charlie's Choice and the returning Gonnetot are others to consider, whilst Uzincso is another to keep an eye from his sliding mark.
A trappy race in which the unexposed GONNETOT may be able to make a winning return from a break. Charlie's Choice is next best.

1st (5)  (16/5 -7%)Lady Of Arabia |
16/5(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lady Of Arabia 16/5, Largely progressive filly who is building up a good record at this venue, career-best display when landing 12-runner C&D handicap in September. Possible she may yet have more to offer back from a break. Two C&D wins to her name; absent since September but she's likely to go well. |
|||
2nd (3)  (10/1 -25%)Gavi Di Gavi |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gavi Di Gavi 10/1, Course winner. 14/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 32 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Comes here back on last winning AW mark and a good pace to aim at would aid his cause. On a winning mark and conditions won't faze him; likely to make a bold bid. |
|||
3rd (1)  (13/8 -62%)Al Marmar |
13/8(-62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Al Marmar 13/8, Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 12/1) 10 days ago, displaying an impressive turn of foot. Big shout under a penalty. Easy Chelmsford win back up to 1m ten days ago; well in under penalty; obvious chance. |
|||
4th (2)  (9/2 +31%)True Statesman |
9/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) True Statesman 9/2, Temperamental sort. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable 4 lengths fourth of 12 to Al Marmar in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 10 days ago. On a fair mark if building on that. Over 4l behind Al Marmar at Chelmsford ten days ago; others appeal more. |
|||
5th (4)  (8/1 +50%)Beltane |
8/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Beltane 8/1, 33/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 24 days ago, racing off the pace and plugging on. Return to 1m rates a likely plus here. On a handy mark on last summer's best; slowly away both runs this winter; check betting. |
|||
6th (6)  (40/1 -82%)Three Yorkshiremen |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Three Yorkshiremen 40/1, Winner at Nottingham in August. Last of 6 in handicap (80/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 48 days ago, losing place over 2f out and dropping away. Others preferred now dropped back in trip. Heavy-ground winner for R Fahey; well-beaten 80-1 shot on last month's AW debut. |
|||
7th (7)  (10/1 +0%)Emorcee |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Emorcee 10/1, Fair maiden who ran respectably when second of 8 in claiming maiden at Dundalk (6f) in September, caught near line. Steps back up in trip now starting out for new yard and capable of making the frame again. 0-11 when trained in Ireland but effective both at 1m & on AW; tough task on stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
AL MARMAR fairly bolted up on his first try at a mile for this stable earlier this month and, with a 5lb penalty to shoulder, he rates the one to side with. Other last-time-out winner Lady Of Arabia may prove to be the biggest danger to the selection nudged up just 4lb for that C&D success, while Emorcee, previously with the David Marnane stable in Ireland, has solid claims to hit the frame on his debut for a new yard.
AL MARMAR showed an impressive turn of foot when capitalising on his much-reduced mark over this trip at Chelmsford 10 days ago and this looks a decent opportunity to quickly follow up with his shrewd yard remaining in good form. Lady of Arabia rates next best ahead of True Statesman.
The return to 1m saw AL MARMAR run out an easy winner at Chelmsford ten days ago and he can make light of his 5lb penalty.

1st (5)  (10/1 -11%)Metaverse |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Metaverse 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. Off 8 months, sixth of 12 in maiden at this course (6f, 20/1) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Handicaps could see him in a better light. Has shown ability in both runs but handicaps may be his ideal scene. |
|||
2nd (1)  (10/11 +0%)King's Vanity |
10/11(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) King's Vanity 10/11, From a good family and still rough around the edges as he won 6-runner event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 10/11) 17 days ago by length from Alexandretta, bit in hand. More to come again. Posted a solid effort at Newcastle then beat Alexandretta by 1l at Lingfield; respected. |
|||
3rd (7)  (9/2 +0%)Alexandretta |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Alexandretta 9/2, Fair filly. Off 5 months, blinkered for 1st time, creditable length second of 6 to King's Vanity at Lingfield (7f, AW, evens) 17 days ago, clear of rest. Solid place claims again. Frustrating sort but ties in closely with King's Vanity on latest effort; not written off. |
|||
4th (2)  (11/2 +31%)Thats Dandy Harry |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Thats Dandy Harry 11/2, €75,000 foal, 55,000 gns yearling, Dandy Man colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 5f winner Just Past Andover and half-brother to several winners. 7/1, won 10-runner event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 32 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Should improve. The form of his Wolverhampton win is nothing special but he looks open to progress. |
|||
5th (6)  (20/1 -167%)Sugar Hill |
20/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sugar Hill 20/1, Unreliable individual. 8/11, last of 7 at Chelmsford City (7f) when last seen in May, looking hard work throughout (walked to post again but sweated up, reluctant to start, came wide). First run for yard after leaving Charles Hills. Hood on 1st time, tongue strap on 1st time. Risky. Looked far from straightforward on final start for Charles Hills; comes with risk. |
|||
6th (3)  (20/1 -122%)Elusive Empire |
20/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Elusive Empire 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 165 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Might want further but has races in him if he's trained on. Best form when runner-up in his only two attempts over 7f; possibilities. |
|||
7th (4)  (9/1 +44%)King's Conquest |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King's Conquest 9/1, Kingman gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 6.5f-1m winner Fond Words and 7f winner A Legacy of Love. Dam smart winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7.6f winner). Plenty of appeal on paper (bred/had been with Rabbah Bloodstock). One to note on belated debut. Kingman half-brother to four winners; yard not associated with debut scorers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KING'S VANITY beat Alexandretta by a length when the pair met over 7f at Lingfield earlier this month and Andrew Balding's charge had more in hand than the winning margin suggested that day, so he is expected to confirm that superiority en route to victory. The George Boughey-trained Sugar Hill unseated at the start and was withdrawn from that race at Lingfield, but he looks sure to benefit from the application of a hood and he may make the podium.
The two winners are promising and KING'S VANITY is taken to follow-up his Lingfield success. The form of That's Dandy Harry's victory at Wolverhampton on debut hasn't amounted to much but he can improve also. Alexandretta chased home the selection at Lingfield on her return and should find a race.
Despite the worse terms KING'S VANITY could well improve further and confirm Lingfield placings with Alexandretta.

1st (3)  (2/1 +6%)Brewing |
2/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Brewing 2/1, Raced only on AW, winning 4 of his first 5 starts. Bit below par when sixth of 13 at Newcastle on New Year's Day but given another chance to show he's still on a favourable mark. Won 4 of his 6 starts; not at best last time but returns to 7f and he's not fully exposed. |
|||
2nd (6)  (9/1 +25%)Silver Samurai |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Silver Samurai 9/1, Latest win at Newmarket in August. 20/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) when last seen in October. Hasn't been seen too often on AW in recent times but he is fully effective on it. Talented if hard to win with; yet to run a poor race here; likely to go well. |
|||
3rd (2)  (11/4 +21%)Aratus |
11/4(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Aratus 11/4, C&D winner. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (5/2) at this course (1m) 25 days ago. Unlikely to be far away if in similar form. Two good efforts at this track since returning from a year off; leading claims back at 7f. |
|||
4th (5)  (6/1 -100%)Baldomero |
6/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Baldomero 6/1, Course winner. Twenty four runs since last win in 2022 but he can't be knocked for consistency, finishing placed yet again when second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Should be thereabouts again. Hard to win with but he's been banging at the door this winter; should run well again. |
|||
5th (8)  (33/1 -65%)Dubai Station |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dubai Station 33/1, 25/1 and visored first time, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 10 days ago, missing break. Cheekpieces back on. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Has to prove 7f is suitable but he's blessed with a lot of ability and is lowly rated now. |
|||
6th (7)  (13/2 +41%)Zaman Jemil |
13/2(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Zaman Jemil 13/2, 7/2, only a respectable fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 56 days ago but he's well capable off this mark if at his best. Two 6f wins to his name; stamina for 7f not yet conclusively proven; others appeal more. |
|||
7th (1)  (16/1 -113%)Lord Of The Lodge |
16/1(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lord Of The Lodge 16/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, below par when tenth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 22 days ago. Good third on Boxing Day but less good last time; other front-runners on show. |
|||
8th (4)  (12/1 -20%)Lord Bertie |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lord Bertie 12/1, Latest win at Thirsk in August. 10/1, last of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 30 days ago, folding tamely. Handicap career yet to get off the ground; too much to prove back at 7f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The vote goes to ARATUS, who was narrowly denied over the mile here on his latest outing 25 days ago. Clive Cox's gelding is just 1lb higher in the ratings this evening, so a similar performance might suffice. Brewing failed to make an impact over 6f last time but the son of Showcasing ought to appreciate the return to further. Baldomero continues to run well in defeat and he's unlikely to be far away.
BREWING's latest 6f defeat shouldn't be taken to suggest the handicapper's got him and he can take his 7f record to 3-3. Baldomero has found winning difficult in recent years but has been placed on 8 of his last 9 starts and can chase the selection home ahead of recent 1m course runner-up Aratus.
Aratus and Dubai Station are high on the list but this could be the day SILVER SAMURAI gains his first AW success.

1st (6)  (4/1 +56%)Mostly Sunny |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mostly Sunny 4/1, Made the frame 4 times last year, but produced a laboured effort when seventh of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (16.5f) 47 days ago. Drops back in trip with blinkers reapplied. Raced mainly at further but shapes as if this drop back in trip is worth a shot. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/4 +36%)Ensured |
7/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ensured 7/4, After a spell in Hong Kong with D. J. Hall, rejoined his former trainer and back on track following 8 months off when third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 6/1) 26 days ago. Respected on his polytrack debut. Encouraging effort at Southwell on first start since rejoining this yard; possibilities. |
|||
3rd (4)  (28/1 -75%)Glenister |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Glenister 28/1, Four wins last year when trained by Sir Mark Prescott Bt. Creditable third at this C&D on stable debut, but tailed-off last of 12 in handicap here (16/1, 2m) 25 days ago. Needs to leave latest effort behind back down in trip. Placed over C&D on debut for new yard; well held over 2m since. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/1 -17%)Suffrajet |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Suffrajet 7/1, At least as good as ever when successful here (11f) in December, but not in the same form when fifth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 36 days ago. No surprise to see her bounce back returned to this venue. Won at this course last month; better than bare result on Boxing Day; respected. |
|||
5th (1)  (11/4 -10%)Andaleep |
11/4(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Andaleep 11/4, Back to form when winning 9-runner handicap (7/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 8 days ago, comfortably. Carries penalty but he remains well treated on last season's best form, so he looks to hold leading claims. Finally broke his AW duck last week; big player provided he remains in same form. |
|||
6th (9)  (25/1 -150%)Kissininthebackrow |
25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kissininthebackrow 25/1, After 23 months off, proved that she retains ability on first run since leaving Brian Meehan when fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW, 40/1) 17 days ago. Task is now to build on that effort back down in trip. Reappearance effort took her AW form figures to 22134; solid claims. |
|||
7th (3)  (11/1 -69%)Lexington Knight |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lexington Knight 11/1, Successful at Wolverhampton in September but hasn't been able to match that level since, sixth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive at present. Four-time Tapeta winner who drops back to his optimum distance. |
|||
8th (8)  (66/1 -200%)Kintaro |
66/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kintaro 66/1, In first-time tongue strap, looked rusty on first outing since leaving Richard Fahey (had a wind op) when seventh of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 11 days ago. Has work to do. Switch to AW had no effect on debut for new stable; best watched. |
|||
9th (7)  (20/1 -150%)Golden Delite |
20/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Golden Delite 20/1, In first-time tongue strap, didn't look straightforward when fifth of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (12.4f) when last seen in September. Remains early days, but needs to get back on the up with cheekpieces reached for. May improve for the addition of cheekpieces; interesting on return from break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ANDALEEP recorded a first all-weather success when landing an amateur riders' event at Southwell eight days ago. Daniel & Claire Kubler's charge must shoulder a 4lb penalty today but that might not be enough to prevent him from repeating the dose. Ensured made a promising reappearance earlier this month, finishing third, and any improvement would bring him firmly into the reckoning, while Golden Delite is most appealing of the remainder.
ANDALEEP returned to winning ways with a ready success at Southwell 8 days ago and a penalty might not be enough to prevent him from following up. He can see off the challenge of Ensured, who got back on track following a spell in Hong Kong when third at Southwell earlier this month, while course-winner Suffrajet also merits consideration.
Dropped in grade on this second start back in the British scene, ENSURED may well be the answer. Suffrajet is second choice.

1st (2)  (9/2 +25%)Ocean Heights |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ocean Heights 9/2, Improved to get off the mark over C&D in December. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at this course (11f, 4/1) 28 days ago. Merits consideration. Solid record in Flat handicaps; ties in with God Of Thunder on latest effort. |
|||
2nd (9)  (10/1 -82%)Polar Princess |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Polar Princess 10/1, Good second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 3/1) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Has to be taken seriously from unchanged mark. In-form maiden; clear second at Southwell last week; fighting chance off same mark. |
|||
3rd (7)  (3/1 +40%)Orange N Blue |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Orange N Blue 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4, very good ½-length third of 10 to Raintown in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. On the upgrade recently. Close third to Raintown at Lingfield; gives the impression he'll be suited by headgear. |
|||
4th (4)  (15/2 -50%)Running The Game |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Running The Game 15/2, Fair form in trio of maidens on Flat in France and shaped better than bare result in pair of juvenile hurdles for present yard this winter. Off mark in 8-runner minor event at this course (11f) on UK flat debut 21 days ago. Interesting handicap debutant. Opened his account in novice event here three weeks ago; may build on that win; respected. |
|||
5th (3)  (4/1 +20%)God Of Thunder |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) God Of Thunder 4/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in November. 11/1, good second of 12 in handicap at this course (11f) 28 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Close second here this month; largely consistent and should go well again. |
|||
6th (6)  (25/1 -127%)Sax Appeal |
25/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sax Appeal 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 13/2, shaped as if needing the run after 10-month absence when 13¼ lengths eighth of 13 to Ocean Heights in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago. Mark still looks on the high side. Seemed to need the run here (back from layoff) last month; still unexposed. |
|||
7th (5)  (11/1 -38%)Johnny Boom |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Johnny Boom 11/1, Seven wins from 26 Flat runs. Three wins from 9 runs last year, including on most recent Flat outing at Wolverhampton in April. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft, 5/2) 48 days ago, running on. Frame claims. Has gained all AW wins at Wolverhampton; not the percentage call. |
|||
8th (1)  (22/1 -144%)Party Island |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Party Island 22/1, Course winner. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Goodwood (11.2f, good to firm). Has a better record on all-weather but looks best watched after 148 days off. Has never defied a mark this high or scored when fresh; vulnerable. |
|||
9th (8)  (6/1 -9%)Raintown |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Raintown 6/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 6/1) 11 days ago, suited by strong gallop to edge ahead line. Bit more needed from 3 lb higher mark. Got up on the line at Lingfield most recently; remains competitively treated. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A fairly open event, in which marginal preference is for ORANGE N BLUE. Jane Chapple-Hyam's charge (third) was defeated by Raintown (winner) at Lingfield 11 days ago, but he's 2lb better off with that rival tonight and the addition of first-time cheekpieces could give him the boost he needs. God Of Thunder merits respect having hit the woodwork over 1m3f here last time, while others to note include Running The Game and Ocean Heights.
Several hold sound claims in this competitive handicap, with bottom-weight POLAR PRINCESS making most appeal. Philip Kirby's filly has shaped well to make the placings on each of her last 3 outings and looked better than ever when a clear second at Southwell last week, so is fancied to go one better this time. Ocean Heights scored over C&D last month and followed that with another good effort here, so he's also considered alongside Orange N Blue and God of Thunder.
The vote goes to unexposed RUNNING THE GAME, who took well to this surface three weeks ago. Second choice is Orange N Blue.

1st (3)  (7/4 -27%)Amiwithani |
7/4(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Amiwithani 7/4, Promising type. 11/10, career best when winning 3-runner handicap at this C&D 9 days ago, well on top finish. This unexposed filly is a big player under a penalty. Won going away in C&D contest (handicap debut) nine days ago; should have more to offer. |
|||
2nd (7)  (2/1 +40%)Something To Do |
2/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Something To Do 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 4 months/gelded and cheekpieces on for 1st time, much improved when second of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 2 days ago. Obvious chance if turned out again quickly here. Improved effort (clear second) at Wolverhampton on Monday when making handicap debut. |
|||
3rd (1)  (13/2 -8%)It's Not Risky |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) It's Not Risky 13/2, 6/4, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 16 days ago, kept up to work. Up in trip and while he merits respect in this hat-trick bid, further progress is needed. 2-2 this year, scoring in bunched finish at Wolverhampton latest; may improve further. |
|||
4th (2)  (9/2 +18%)Livinthelife |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Livinthelife 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 5/2) 19 days ago. Up in trip and should make her presence felt. Off the mark at Wolverhampton this month on handicap debut; open to further progress. |
|||
5th (6)  (22/1 -57%)Manos Arriba |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Manos Arriba 22/1, Creditable 4½ lengths third of 6 to Livinthelife in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 11/1) 19 days ago. Up in trip and he shouldn't be too far away. Has failed to progress; new trip needs to make a difference. |
|||
6th (5)  (40/1 -100%)Soham Ranger |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Soham Ranger 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, fourth of 5 in minor event at Southwell (11.1f) 13 days ago. Improvement needed now pitched into a handicap. Handicap debutant who isn't particularly solid on form. |
|||
7th (4)  (16/1 -100%)Pop Noodle |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pop Noodle 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, 2 lengths last of 5 to It's Not Risky in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 16 days ago, merely closing up late. Up in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Gives the impression he'll benefit from this new trip and first-time headgear. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
AMIWITHANI took a decent step forward for going up in trip when scoring over C&D last Monday and the manner of that performance suggested he could easily strike again under a 6lb penalty. It's Not Risky arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories and is respected off a 2lb higher mark than his latest at Wolverhampton, while Livinthelife is another with obvious claims after his handicap debut success.
AMIWITHANI and Something To Do both improved markedly for the step up to 1½m last time and preference is for the former, who appeals as the type to rack up a sequence in the coming weeks judged on her decisive C&D success 9 days ago. Livinthelife is third choice ahead of the hat-trick seeking It's Not Risky.
Preference is for recent C&D scorer AMIWITHANI (nap), ahead of Livinthelife.

1st (4)  (11/4 +21%)Private Bryan |
11/4(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Private Bryan 11/4, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 9/2, creditable fourth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (12.1f) 13 days ago. Solid claims. Maiden who is one to consider based on this year's classified form. |
|||
2nd (7)  (5/1 +64%)Ocean Ridge |
5/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ocean Ridge 5/1, Modest gelding. 28/1, first run since leaving Seamus Durack when eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 57 days ago. Others preferred. Not solid on overall form but this step back up in distance may suit. |
|||
3rd (6)  (5/1 -100%)Uther Pendragon |
5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Uther Pendragon 5/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. 9/4, sixth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 20 days ago. Probably found race coming too soon last time, so should be back on his game. Best to forgive latest effort; suited by this trip and respected on ratings. |
|||
4th (5)  (17/2 -31%)Red Dwarf |
17/2(-31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Red Dwarf 17/2, Sixth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Has a bit to prove at present. Chance depends on whether she improves for new scenario. |
|||
5th (2)  (12/1 -20%)Dillydingdillydong |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dillydingdillydong 12/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/1) 12 days ago. Up in trip. Not discounted. In-form maiden but isn't crying out for this new trip. |
|||
6th (1)  (15/2 -50%)Broad Appeal |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Broad Appeal 15/2, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. 6/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 82 days ago. Worthy of respect. No win since 2020 but has possibilities dropped to 0-50 classified level. |
|||
7th (8)  (4/1 +43%)Sao Timothy |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sao Timothy 4/1, Modest gelding. Hood on for 1st time in this code, eighth of 9 in juvenile hurdle (4/1) at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 83 days ago, pulling hard. Modest on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run. Merits respect back in this sphere. Ran encouragingly in last two Flat starts; interesting back in this sphere. |
|||
8th (3)  (16/1 -113%)No Diggity |
16/1(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) No Diggity 16/1, Modest gelding. Course winner. Latest win at Brighton in August. 20/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (8f) 9 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others have achieved more. Could revive with Rossa Ryan on board and stepped back up in distance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Uther Pendragon wasn't at his best at Chelmsford on his latest start when it was reported that he had bled from the nose. It wouldn't be a surprise if he bounced back on this occasion, but the vote goes to BROAD APPEAL. Knocking on the door at the back end of the turf campaign in handicap company, the drop to this level may be the opportunity needed to see the 10-year-old return to winning ways. Private Bryan completes the shortlist.
UTHER PENDRAGON was going through a good spell prior to a blip (faced with a quick turnaround) at Chelmsford last time and, likely to bounce back, he's worth taking a chance on in this weak affair. Private Ryan and Broad Appeal look the chief dangers.
The comparatively unexposed SAO TIMOTHY is taken to get off the mark. Uther Pendragon is second choice.

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.
