---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (4/1 -14%) Grenham Bay |
4/1(-14%) | (6) Grenham Bay 4/1, C&D winner who returned to form when second of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Not taken lightly. C&D winner; good second behind an improver last time; in the mix once again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/1 -125%) Beauzon |
9/1(-125%) | (2) Beauzon 9/1, Brought up a 4-timer at Wolverhampton last month. Was too free upped in trip at Chelmsford (7f) last time and is better judged on previous form as a result. Didn't stay 7f last time but stopped quickly all the same; handicapper may have caught up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7/1 +22%) Hiatus |
7/1(+22%) | (8) Hiatus 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in January but wasn't in the same form there (6.1f) 16 days ago. Too free last time but in good order beforehand; still feasibly treated; could bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (4/1 +43%) Airshow |
4/1(+43%) | (7) Airshow 4/1, 3-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023 and ran below form when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f) 17 days ago. Veteran who will appreciate the return to 6f; more appealing than many. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (18/1 -80%) Eight Mile |
18/1(-80%) | (9) Eight Mile 18/1, Three wins from 13 runs last year but ran below form when last of 4 in handicap at Brighton (6f, heavy, 5/2) on final outing. Off 166 days. On a winning mark but he returns from an absence & he'll need to be at the top of his game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (6/1 +0%) Beyond Equal |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Beyond Equal 6/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (7f, 17/2) 28 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Is likely to be better for the outing and can't be ruled out back down in trip. On a losing run but conditions suit and he's on a good mark; wide draw but respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (12/1 +0%) Lilkian |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Lilkian 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in October. 18/1, looked rusty after 12 weeks off when seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 23 days ago, merely closing up late. Will benefit from this return to 6f. Quiet in three runs since winning at Lingfield in October; others look more convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (11/2 +31%) Conquistador |
11/2(+31%) | (5) Conquistador 11/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago. Should be making a big impact at this level but he's looking increasingly difficult. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (25/1 -79%) Some Nightmare |
25/1(-79%) | (4) Some Nightmare 25/1, 22/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 147 days. Makes polytrack debut. On a good mark for his return but goes without headgear and others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (11/1 -69%) Dakota Power |
11/1(-69%) | (10) Dakota Power 11/1, Found run of good form coming to a halt when last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/4) 36 days ago. On good mark but he looked a tricky ride last time & has an inexperienced apprentice on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Beauzon completed a Wolverhampton four-timer, but then probably found tackling 7f was a step too far at Chelmsford last week. Back over a more appropriate distance, the five-year-old commands respect given his impressive recent haul. However, SOME NIGHTMARE, who is still unexposed on the all-weather, edges preference from a handy mark. John O'Shea's charge debuts on Polytrack from 3lb lower than his last winning rating and, a five-time scorer at this trip elsewhere, this could be a good time to catch him. Conquistador completes the shortlist.
GRENHAM BAY returned to form when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Southwell 16 days ago and is the percentage call to go one better from the same mark. Beauzon is better judged on his previous form having pulled too hard over a longer trip at Chelmsford last time, while Beyond Equal and Lilkian are others to consider.
Hiatus and Grenham Bay are high on the list but AIRSHOW has eased down the weights and could win for the 13th time.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (4/1 +56%) Classic Speed |
4/1(+56%) | (5) Classic Speed 4/1, 16/1, best effort for present yard when fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 21 days ago, albeit better placed than most. Needs to settle better but this drop back to 1m could help. 0-9; ran okay over 9.4f last time and 1m could work, but others are safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (12/1 -9%) Handel |
12/1(-9%) | (7) Handel 12/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 18/1) 23 days ago, short of room inside final 1f and noted finishing with running left. Not discounted from steadily easing mark. 1-28 overall; found 7f too sharp last time and was third over C&D the time before. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (33/1 -408%) Weloof |
33/1(-408%) | (6) Weloof 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago, left poorly placed. Lurking on a handy mark and market confidence behind him would need to be viewed positively. Twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.6f) before a lesser run at Newcastle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/4 +56%) Egoiste |
7/4(+56%) | (4) Egoiste 7/4, Winner at Chelmsford City in September. Good neck second of 12 to Stoic Syd in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 24 days ago, conceding first run and finishing well. Expected to be bang there. Came from a long way back to push Stoic Syd close last time; better drawn now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (22/1 -57%) Sam's Hope |
22/1(-57%) | (10) Sam's Hope 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, ran below pick of form when tenth of 13 in a C&D handicap back in October. Absent/undergone wind surgery subsequently and market may prove a useful guide ahead of this. She remains in same top yard for a 4yo campaign; had wind surgery. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (5/1 +77%) High Court Judge |
5/1(+77%) | (9) High Court Judge 5/1, C&D winner. Last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 15/2) 49 days ago, dropping away straight. Mark has eased a little more but he's not the easiest to predict now starting out for new yard. Has the form to feature but probably best watched kicking out for a new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (12/1 -9%) Recuerdame |
12/1(-9%) | (3) Recuerdame 12/1, 3-time C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year. 11/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D 45 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Needs a couple of these to falter. 11-time AW scorer but he's a hold-up performer who needs the cards to drop right. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (25/1 -317%) The Game Is Up |
25/1(-317%) | (13) The Game Is Up 25/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago, doing well to peg back a couple who had been more positively ridden. Possibilities if headgear has desired effect once more. In first-time cheekpieces she came from last to first at Lingfield last week (1m). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (33/1 -136%) Flying Panther |
33/1(-136%) | (12) Flying Panther 33/1, C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, 3 lengths sixth of 7 to The Game Is Up in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Given a chance by the handicapper. Only sixth behind The Game Is Up last week when all these aids were tried.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (11/1 +0%) Star Of Sussex |
11/1(+0%) | (2) Star Of Sussex 11/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (11f, 9/1) 31 days ago, racing freely and weakening final 1f. Cheekpieces reached for now down markedly in trip but widest draw doesn't make things easy. 10-race maiden yet to offer a great deal in handicaps and can take a keen hold. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (16/1 -14%) Dubai Immo |
16/1(-14%) | (1) Dubai Immo 16/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Last of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams and the market may prove a useful guide as to expectations. Showed nothing in four starts for Stuart Williams and he's now 0-19. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (25/1 -79%) Premiership |
25/1(-79%) | (8) Premiership 25/1, Three wins from 6 runs last year. 6/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f). Off 144 days. Makes polytrack debut but another with a less-than-ideal draw to contend with. Three turf wins; lacks a run and has yet to run a race of note on the AW. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
STOIC SYD notched up a quickfire double when scoring over C&D last month and, from just 5lb higher, he holds a strong chance of completing the hat-trick. Runner-up in that aforementioned race, Egoiste has a feasible chance of turning the form around with a 1lb pull at the weights, while The Game Is Up seemed revitalised when getting off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield last week and can also go well with the headgear retained.
EGOISTE ran well when just touched off by re-opposing Stoic Syd (the pair well clear) when they met over C&D 24 days ago, doing particularly well having come from a long way back. They look the 2 to concentrate on again, with the former earning the vote to reverse those placings here. The Game Is Up and Handel complete the shortlist.
The suggestion is EGOISTE who came from a mile back to push Stoic Syd close here and now the boot is on the other foot draw-wise.

1st (4) (9/1 -29%) Rey De La Batalla |
9/1(-29%) | (4) Rey De La Batalla 9/1, Lightly-raced colt who showed improved form when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f) 26 days ago, quickening to lead late on. Claims from 2 lb higher mark if he can build on that now. No impact on handicap debut but snatched a 7f race late at Lingfield; should stay 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (17/2 +39%) Beauty Generation |
17/2(+39%) | (2) Beauty Generation 17/2, Lightly-raced winner. 9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in October, not ideally placed. Return to 1m may help back from a break/gelded having slipped in weights. Won minor 1m Polytrack maiden before modest handicap form in October; gelded since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (12/1 -60%) Phoenix Passion |
12/1(-60%) | (8) Phoenix Passion 12/1, Showed improved form to make a winning nursery debut at Yarmouth (1m) in September, rallying to regain the lead final 50 yds. Seemed stretched by step up to 10f at Windsor a month later and this more suitable back from a break/having been gelded. Faded over 1m2f on turf in October; previously won handicap debut over 1m; more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 -200%) Morning Light |
12/1(-200%) | (1) Morning Light 12/1, Offered little first 2 starts but more like it equipped with first-time blinkers when second of 10 in a C&D novice 52 days ago, headed approaching final 1f and no extra. Represents excellent yard and she could do better again now handicapping for all her draw is wider than ideal. Well back on first two 7f starts but much better over C&D latest; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (11/8 +54%) Superb Force |
11/8(+54%) | (10) Superb Force 11/8, Promising sort who stepped up markedly on previous exploits equipped with a visor when second of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 12 days ago, edged out only by another low-mileage improver (the pair clear). Looks the one to beat with further progress anticipated. Improved for step up to 1m on handicap debut but bumped into gambled-on winner; up 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (12/1 +25%) Cross The Tracks |
12/1(+25%) | (3) Cross The Tracks 12/1, Winner on debut at Yarmouth (6f) last summer and best effort since (blinkered) when fourth of 11 in handicap here (7f) in January. Never figured upped in grade back here next time but this rates more suitable. Won 6f debut on turf but no great appeal on what he's shown in handicaps; now up to 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (17/2 -31%) Squeaker |
17/2(-31%) | (5) Squeaker 17/2, Matched pick of form in maidens when runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in October. Good fifth in nursery over that track/trip followed a month later and not out of things back from a break. Yard also saddle Beauty Generation. Consistent and had no sort of run when close 5th on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (25/1 -79%) Al Khawaneej River |
25/1(-79%) | (11) Al Khawaneej River 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in maiden (13/2) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) in July, not clear run final 1f and not knocked about. Absent/gelded subsequently and switch to handicaps rates a plus now. Betting should reveal more. No threat at up to 7f as 2yo but the type to do better at 1m; off since July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (50/1 -52%) Sir Bolton |
50/1(-52%) | (7) Sir Bolton 50/1, Successful on debut as a juvenile last spring but failed to progress in handful of starts thereafter and joined new connections for just 3,500 guineas last month. Takes a significant step up in trip now. Modest sprint handicap form for previous yard but pedigree suggests 1m might suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (6/1 +14%) Magna Vega |
6/1(+14%) | (6) Magna Vega 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/4, fourth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 39 days ago. May be sharper given that was his first start for 5 months and has been gelded since, so worth monitoring in the betting for positive vibes. Promising over 7f as 2yo; faded over 1m on return (favourite); handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (20/1 -186%) Make A Scene |
20/1(-186%) | (9) Make A Scene 20/1, Thrice-raced winner. 11/2, improved again when landing 9-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 14 days ago, knuckling down late on and edging ahead. Possible she can do better again now handicapping. Won final qualifying run with nothing to spare at Wolverhampton (1m); handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MORNING LIGHT was second only to an expensive Godolphin-owned colt over C&D in January and is highly unlikely to be as underestimated in the betting as she was that evening. Ralph Beckett's filly is open to any amount of improvement and an initial mark of 70 could be blown out of the water with another step forward. Wolverhampton winner Make A Scene is another handicap debutant to consider, while Squeaker has shown enough ability to complete the shortlist.
SUPERB FORCE improved plenty for the application of a visor/step up in trip when going down narrowly to another low-mileage sort at Lingfield 12 days ago (the pair clear) and with further progress anticipated, Andrew Balding's charge ought to prove tough to beat. Morning Light, following her good second in first-time headgear over C&D, and Lingfield-scorer Rey de La Batalla head the dangers, with Magna Vega another to note on handicap bow.
Compensation awaits for SUPERB FORCE (nap) who found only a gambled-on winner too good for him on his handicap debut.

1st (5) (5/2 +38%) Never Better |
5/2(+38%) | (5) Never Better 5/2, Makes plenty of appeal on paper and shaped well amidst inexperience when fifth of 13 in a C&D novice on debut 24 days ago, running green and no extra late on. In excellent hands and he looks sure to improve. Well-bred colt who was green when fifth of 13 on C&D debut; likely to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (9/2 +50%) Asinara |
9/2(+50%) | (11) Asinara 9/2, Harry Angel filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Kalsara and useful 1m-1¼m winner Tamarama. Dam, 7f-9f winner. Betting should guide as to expectations on racecourse bow. Out of a Group 3 winner and Hollie Doyle booked for debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/3 +26%) Daring Legend |
10/3(+26%) | (3) Daring Legend 10/3, Well-bred sort who shaped better than bare result when fourth of 7 in nursery at Haydock (7f) in September that has worked out well. Bought by shrewd connections for 38,000 gns thereafter and likely he can do better again this year. Respected. Form of Haydock nursery debut fourth in September boosted; changed hands since; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (16/1 -14%) So Quiet |
16/1(-14%) | (9) So Quiet 16/1, Zoustar gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 6f-7f winner Silent Echo and 9f winner Deference. Dam 2-y-o 8.3f winner. Makes appeal on paper and interesting if the market speaks in his favour. Some paper appeal; the market should provide clues. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (3/1 -33%) Rogue Raider |
3/1(-33%) | (8) Rogue Raider 3/1, Promising start to career when third in a C&D novice in January and whilst he went backwards at Southwell next time, the longer trip/fact he raced freely seeming to catch him out. Well drawn here and worth another chance to progress from handy draw. Third on C&D debut; pulled too hard over 1m since; given another chance with hood on now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (50/1 -257%) Baroque Buoy |
50/1(-257%) | (2) Baroque Buoy 50/1, €44,000 foal, 50,000 gns yearling, Caravaggio gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 5f-7f winner Rose Bonheur out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Red Feather. Makes appeal on paper and betting should prove a useful guide on debut. Bred to have a future; the betting should help guide to expectations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (15/2 +32%) Never Mind Me |
15/2(+32%) | (6) Never Mind Me 15/2, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 5/1) 12 days ago, weakening early in the straight. Handicaps promise to be more his bag in due course. Some promise on debut but failed to build on it at Lingfield three months later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (28/1 -75%) Tribal Chief |
28/1(-75%) | (10) Tribal Chief 28/1, €52,000 yearling, Sioux Nation colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 7f Kiwano. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to high-class winner up to 6.3f Little Big Bear. Wears tongue strap. Half-brother to a useful AW winner; tongue-tied on debut; betting should guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (50/1 -25%) Dashing Donkey |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Dashing Donkey 50/1, 4,000 gns yearling, Time Test colt. Closely related to 1m-1¼m winner Zara's Return. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart 7f-1¼m winner Quatorze. Yard wouldn't be renowned for winning newcomers. This Time Test colt is likely best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (40/1 -471%) Little Rose |
40/1(-471%) | (12) Little Rose 40/1, Dubawi filly who was well backed but fared little better than on debut when fifth of 6 in maiden at Chelmsford (7f) 7 days ago. Hooded for 1st time and too soon to be writing off given connections. Failed to build on debut when beaten fav last weekend but seemingly well regarded; hood on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (250/1 -67%) Payforanother Daay |
250/1(-67%) | (1) Payforanother Daay 250/1, Adaay gelding. 100/1, offered little making belated debut when twelfth of 13 in C&D maiden 13 days ago. Hard to make a case for. 100-1 when always towards the rear on C&D debut 13 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (150/1 +0%) Paddy Powerful |
150/1(+0%) | (7) Paddy Powerful 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 150/1, went with little promise when well-beaten last of 7 in maiden at this course (1m) on debut 35 days ago, weakening having led until 2f out. Hard to fancy. 150-1, pulled hard when tailed off on 1m course debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
NEVER BETTER was beaten into fifth on his debut over track and trip, but there were plenty of positives to take from that effort and he would have learned a great deal. The son of No Nay Never can progress and get off the mark at the second time of asking. Little Rose went off favourite and ran too badly to be true at Chelmsford last week, so it wouldn't be a shock if she quickly bounced back. Of the remainder, newcomer Asinara appeals most.
Having displayed promise on debut over C&D, ROGUE RAIDER found the combination of the longer trip/racing freely catching him out when running below that level at Southwell 6 weeks ago and, remaining with potential, he gets the narrow vote to get back on track. Daring Legend, who shaped better than the bare result when last seen at Haydock in September, is of interest on debut for Mick Appleby, with Never Better also considered. So Quiet is a newcomer to note.
Another chance is given to ROGUE RAIDER who pulled too hard when stepped up to 1m at Southwell on the back of his promising C&D debut.

1st (5) (6/4 +50%) Giant |
6/4(+50%) | (5) Giant 6/4, Wasted no time getting back on track returned to 7f when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 5 months ago, clear of rest. That form has worked out, so he's a must for the shortlist with Murphy booked for his return (has been gelded in the interim). Chased home unbeaten rival over C&D in October and has the services of Oisin Murphy today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 +30%) Thapa Vc |
7/2(+30%) | (3) Thapa Vc 7/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. 11/1, wasted no time confirming himself still in good form when fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 7 days ago, missing break. Each-way claims if getting away on terms. Ran well when fourth over 1m a week ago and this drop back to 7f is sure to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (12/1 -85%) Embarked |
12/1(-85%) | (8) Embarked 12/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year, latest over C&D in September. 6/1, possibly needed the run when eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 10 weeks ago. Hiked up 9lb for C&D win in September and managed only a midfield finish on next outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (22/1 -340%) Hul Ah Bah Loo |
22/1(-340%) | (10) Hul Ah Bah Loo 22/1, 4/1, got going too late back down in trip when fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Down to a career-low mark so worth a second look in the betting despite being kept to this trip. Consistent over 1m in recent months but seemed to find 7f too sharp here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/2 -10%) Dayman |
11/2(-10%) | (4) Dayman 11/2, C&D winner. 9/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 23 days ago. Fancied to be in the shake-up back down in trip. Come-from-behind 5yo; current mark is workable if he gets the splits when he needs them. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (7/1 -75%) Rogue Thunder |
7/1(-75%) | (1) Rogue Thunder 7/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in November. 6/1, ran well when second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 26 days ago, all out to hold on for second. That wasn't the first time he hasn't looked the strongest in a finish, so probably best to look elsewhere. Second to bang-in-form rival last month; tendency to race too freely remains a worry. |

7th (9) (25/1 -79%) Elusive Empire |
25/1(-79%) | (9) Elusive Empire 25/1, 22/1, never a threat when seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 18 days ago. Not easy to make a case for kept to 7f. Not at best on either start since break but slipping down the weights and has a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (80/1 -100%) Kojin |
80/1(-100%) | (7) Kojin 80/1, No show in 3 starts for this yard, seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Chepstow (16f, heavy) 7 days ago. Down in trip. Can only be watched back on the level. Well beaten in two heavy-ground hurdles and 9.4f Wolverhampton handicap for new stable. |

9th (2) (12/1 +14%) Boy Browning |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Boy Browning 12/1, 22/1, followed a good run with a below-par one when tenth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to firm) 6 months ago. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers and tongue strap on 1st time. Drew a blank and had very mixed record during six-run campaign last season; new headgear. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GIANT finished just over three lengths clear of the third when getting closest to an unbeaten filly over C&D in October and he has been gelded since that display. Richard Spencer's four-year-old is only 1lb higher and could be the one to beat on his return. Rogue Thunder, who finished second at Lingfield last month, is one to note off the same rating, while Thapa VC will appreciate the drop in grade.
This looks open but it could pay to side with GIANT, who found only an odds-on winner completing a hat-trick too strong over C&D when last seen 5 months ago and, with that form working out, Richard Spencer's 4-y-o is taken to double his tally. This drop back in trip should suit Dayman, so he may emerge as the main danger, with Rogue Thunder and Hul Ah Bah Loo another couple fancied to go well.
It might be worth chancing ELUSIVE EMPIRE, who has slipped to a tempting mark and ought to be approaching peak fitness now.

2nd (6) (5/2 +38%) Tenerife Sunshine |
5/2(+38%) | (6) Tenerife Sunshine 5/2, Course winner. 8/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 23 days ago, needing stiffer test. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Course winner who has reached frame on all three runs this year; thereabouts under Murphy. |

3rd (3) (9/2 -13%) Way Of Life |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Way Of Life 9/2, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022 but in the frame on each of his last 9 outings. Good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/1) 21 days ago, having run of race. Has to be taken seriously. No win since April 2022 but lots of good efforts since, including close second latest. |

4th (4) (25/1 -79%) The Thunderer |
25/1(-79%) | (4) The Thunderer 25/1, Good third over 2m here in January but ran too badly to be true when last in a similar contest here 28 days ago. Bounce back required. Shaped quite well when third over 2m here in January but poor run back here since. |

5th (1) (7/2 +0%) Liseo |
7/2(+0%) | (1) Liseo 7/2, Course winner. Latest win here in January. Seventh of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Enters calculations. Led close home over 1m3f here in January and better than result at Wolverhampton since. |

6th (8) (66/1 -164%) Stepney Causeway |
66/1(-164%) | (8) Stepney Causeway 66/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f in chases. 2/1, won 4-runner handicap chase at Newton Abbot (16.3f, good). Off 6 months. Cheekpieces back on. Worth market check having first Flat start for over a year. Two chase wins last summer; off since ahead of return to AW Flat; betting should guide. |

7th (9) (33/1 -32%) Sun Tracker |
33/1(-32%) | (9) Sun Tracker 33/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Something to find on form for current connections. Promising start for new yard when third at Wolverhampton but held twice since; non-runner. |

8th (7) (9/1 -80%) Running The Game |
9/1(-80%) | (7) Running The Game 9/1, Course winner. Winner here in January. 2¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Ocean Heights in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 31 days ago. Frame claims again. Won 1m3f novice here in January; good fourth to Ocean Heights here since; unexposed. |

9th (2) (10/3 +0%) Ocean Heights |
10/3(+0%) | (2) Ocean Heights 10/3, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D 31 days ago, having run of race. Reliable sort should give another good account from 2 lb higher mark. Good record here, making all over this trip latest; respected again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LISEO fared just about as well as could be expected in seventh when trying to come from the rear off a steady pace at Wolverhampton and, off an unchanged mark and with Harry Burns claiming 3lb, he holds strong claims. Ocean Heights is the likely pace angle and, fresh from making all over C&D on his most recent outing, he can make his presence felt once more off 4lb higher. Way Of Life has been running well in defeat this winter, but his winless run dates back to May 2022 and he might find a few too good again.
Those at the top of the weights make most appeal, with LISEO fancied to confirm the positive impression created when winning here in January, having shaped as if still at the top of his game in a disadvantageously-run contest at Wolverhampton last time. Way of Life can continue his run of in-frame efforts, with the reliable Ocean Heights also highly respected.
This could be the day the reliable WAY OF LIFE gets his head back in front. Course specialist Ocean Heights may give him most to do.

Can make his presence felt as he goes up in trip with cheekpieces now the choice of headgear. Better signs when third over 1m6f/1m4f last month; new headgear; claims if stamina holds. |

1st (8) (10/1 +29%) Zivaniya |
10/1(+29%) | (8) Zivaniya 10/1, In first-time blinkers, fared little better when ninth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 35 days ago. Tongue strap now also applied. Has something to find as he bids for his first victory. 12-race maiden who has failed to fire in recent starts. |

2nd (7) (9/4 +63%) Natacata |
9/4(+63%) | (7) Natacata 9/4, Not discredited when fifth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 10 days ago, making her move wide around the home turn. Remains a maiden, but she merits consideration having been eased further in the weights. 0-15 but recent efforts creditable; should be thereabouts. |

3rd (3) (17/2 -6%) Doublethetrouble |
17/2(-6%) | (3) Doublethetrouble 17/2, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Shaped as if amiss when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (2m, 10/3) 49 days ago, reported to have an irregular heartbeat. Capable of getting involved if able to bounce back from last time. Stopped quickly latest but good AW record overall, including second over C&D off this mark. |

4th (1) (10/3 +67%) Pop The Champagne |
10/3(+67%) | (1) Pop The Champagne 10/3, Fair hurdle winner. Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. After 11 weeks off, seventh of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 28 days ago, plugging on. Needs to find more as she goes up in trip. Bumper/hurdle winner but yet to make a significant impact on the Flat; need to see more. |

5th (2) (5/1 -207%) Easter Icon |
5/1(-207%) | (2) Easter Icon 5/1, Three wins from 10 runs last year for Jack Channon. After 4 months off, produced a career best on his stable debut when making all in 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 5/4) 25 days ago. Can make a bold bid to follow up. Made all on 1m6f Wolverhampton stable debut 25 days ago; can defy a 4lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/1 +0%) Grandee |
9/1(+0%) | (4) Grandee 9/1, Has gone backwards from his return to action on his last 2 starts, 9 lengths sixth of 8 to Easter Icon in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 7/1) 25 days ago. Long time without a win in this sphere, but he lurks on a dangerous mark. No win for long time but dangerously well treated with Oisin Murphy booked; check betting. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Easter Icon scored readily over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on his debut for this yard and, nudged up 4lb, he can make his presence felt once more. That said, preference is for ESCARPMENT, who finished an admirable third over 1m4f here in a higher grade last month and, eased 1lb and sporting first-time cheekpieces, he gets the vote. Natacata arrives on the same mark as when second at Chelmsford in January, and she is respected most out of the remainder.
EASTER ICON proved better than ever when winning decisively at Wolverhampton last month and he can score again as he makes only his second start for his current yard. Escarpment has got back on track on his last 2 starts and could be the main danger upped in trip in a change of headgear, with Natacata completing the shortlist.
In a finale for which few arrive with compelling claims, EASTER ICON is taken to make it 2-2 for new trainer Gary Brown.

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.
