Diamond Heart |
(7) (250/1 -100%)250/1(-100%) | (7) Diamond Heart 250/1, 19¼ lengths eighth of 9 to Burglar in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 40/1) on debut 35 days ago. Up in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (6) (16/1 -45%) Radetsky Marsch |
16/1(-45%) | (6) Radetsky Marsch 16/1, Matched debut form when second of 8 in novice event at Ayr (8f, heavy). Off 177 days. Up in trip, which is far from certain to suit on pedigree. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5.5/1 +8%) My Lion |
5.5/1(+8%) | (2) My Lion 5.5/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 10-runner novice event (7/4) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm), keeping on well. Off 180 days. Up in trip. More to come this year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (0.5/1 -14%) Burglar |
0.5/1(-14%) | (1) Burglar 0.5/1, Cracksman colt. Closely related to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Frankly Darling and half-brother to several winners, including smart 1¼m-1¾m winner First In Line. Dam, runner-up in Lancashire Oaks. 10/11, won 9-runner novice at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 35 days ago, forging clear. More to come up in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/1 +44%) Incremental |
9/1(+44%) | (4) Incremental 9/1, First foal, dam, French 1¼m winner, half-sister to winner up to 1m Silent Name and 1m /8.5f winner Salto (both smart) out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner) Danzigaway, herself half-sister to high-class French 1m/9f performer Gold Away. Lot to like on paper and a stablemate of Burglar. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (6/1 +25%) Order Of Malta |
6/1(+25%) | (5) Order Of Malta 6/1, Promising stat to career when third of 11 in novice event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 12/1) on debut. Off 119 days. Likely to improve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (40/1 -21%) Desfondado |
40/1(-21%) | (3) Desfondado 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, first run since leaving Jim Boyle when third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 42 days ago. Vulnerable to improvers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BURGLAR defied his inexperience when stealing a march on the opposition at Lingfield on his racecourse bow in February, and the manner of victory suggested the extra couple of furlongs would pose no concern. My Lion scored at the second attempt at Windsor in October when building nicely from her debut and she is likely to progress going up in trip. Radetsky Marsch, who placed on both outings last year, and Order Of Malta are both more than capable of being in the mix.
BURGLAR is bred to be smart and was talented enough to overcome obvious greenness when making a winning debut at Lingfield last month, well on top at the finish. On pedigree, this trip is sure to suit and he's expected to successfully concede weight all round. My Lion also won last time and could be useful, so she can chase the selection home.
There's little in it against three rivals in terms of form but Lingfield debut winner BURGLAR seems to bring clearly the most potential.

1st (2) (2.5/1 +50%) Foxes Tales |
2.5/1(+50%) | (2) Foxes Tales 2.5/1, Smart gelding. Good 3¼ lengths third of 8 to Lord North in Winter Derby (11/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 35 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Remains unexposed on AW. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (33/1 -18%) Rogue Millennium |
33/1(-18%) | (7) Rogue Millennium 33/1, Useful filly. Two wins from 6 runs last year. 37 lengths last of 13 to Creative Flair in Pride Stakes at Newmarket (10f, good, 16/1). Off 176 days. Makes polytrack debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3.5/1 -5%) Phantom Flight |
3.5/1(-5%) | (3) Phantom Flight 3.5/1, Smart colt. Three wins from 6 runs last year. 10/11, 8 lengths seventh of 11 to Royal Champion in listed race at Ayr (10f, good). Off 6 months. Makes polytrack debut. Shortlist material. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (2.75/1 -38%) Secret State |
2.75/1(-38%) | (5) Secret State 2.75/1, Smart efforts when defying big weights in ultra-competitive handicaps at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood. Advanced his form again when 2¾ lengths second in Great Voltigeur at York. Disappointed at Ascot final start but expected to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (18/1 +45%) Savvy Victory |
18/1(+45%) | (4) Savvy Victory 18/1, Useful colt. 14/1, below form 12 lengths third of 8 to Ottoman Fleet in listed race at Newmarket (10f, soft), slowly away. Off 154 days. Makes polytrack debut. Has work to do. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (5.5/1 +21%) Belloccio |
5.5/1(+21%) | (1) Belloccio 5.5/1, Smart gelding. Three wins from 6 runs last year. Career best when winning 9-runner listed race at this course (12f, 9/2) by neck from Purple Ribbon, digging deep. Off 122 days. Respected under a penalty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (7/1 -17%) Tyrrhenian Sea |
7/1(-17%) | (6) Tyrrhenian Sea 7/1, Smart gelding. 9/2, creditable 3¼ lengths second of 8 to Lord North in Winter Derby at Lingfield (10f, AW) 35 days ago. That form has been boosted so not taken lightly. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Secret State didn't appear to get home when tried over 1m6f at Ascot on his final outing after a productive campaign which saw him land valuable handicaps at Royal Ascot and Goodwood before finishing second in the Great Voltigeur. Gelded over the winter, he remains capable of another step forward, but the lack of a recent run sways the verdict in favour of TYRRHENIAN SEA. Runner-up to subsequent Dubai Turf hero Lord North in the Winter Derby on his return, he is more than likely to confirm that effort with Foxes Tales, who was one place behind, and it would be no surprise to see him progress again given his size and scope. Phantom Flight can be forgiven his final run of last season at Ayr which came after a huge performance at York's Ebor Festival and he's still of considerable interest going forward.
PHANTOM FLIGHT failed to meet expectations when tried at this level at Ayr but he's worth another chance with main threat Secret State possibly vulnerable back down in trip around here on return. Tyrrhenian Sea was beaten only by the high-class Lord North in the Winter Derby at Lingfield and is another to consider with race fitness on his side.
Something was amiss with PHANTOM FLIGHT when well beaten at 11-10 in Listed company on his final 3yo start and he can bounce back now.

1st (3) (16/1 +11%) Bear Force One |
16/1(+11%) | (3) Bear Force One 16/1, Course winner. Looked typically tricky when third of 9 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 59 days ago. Comes with risks attached so others preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (3.2/1 +36%) Million Thanks |
3.2/1(+36%) | (8) Million Thanks 3.2/1, 4/1, ran up to best when second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, showing a better attitude than was sometimes the case last year and pulling clear of the remainder. Up 3 lb for that near miss but must enter calculations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (28/1 -27%) Stockpyle |
28/1(-27%) | (12) Stockpyle 28/1, Gelded but still proved too free after 5 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, 7/1) 22 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Best watched. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (5.5/1 -10%) Naval Commander |
5.5/1(-10%) | (1) Naval Commander 5.5/1, Course winner. Proved better than ever in a stronger race than he need contest when second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 59 days ago, looking the likely winner for much of the final 1f (traded 1.01 in-running). Can make amends here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (4.5/1 +44%) Stately Home |
4.5/1(+44%) | (9) Stately Home 4.5/1, 6/1, proved better than ever after 4 months off to land a first success on synthetics in 13-runner handicap at this C&D 31 days ago, staying on to lead final strides. Rarely runs a bad race so merits consideration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (33/1 -106%) Business |
33/1(-106%) | (5) Business 33/1, Capitalised on the drop in grade under a top claimer when winning 4-runner claimer (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 75 days ago, leading before home turn. This much tougher back in handicap company. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (40/1 -60%) Bruno's Gold |
40/1(-60%) | (10) Bruno's Gold 40/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year. 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form when fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 months ago. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Archie Watson (12,000 gns). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (5/1 +50%) My Mate Ted |
5/1(+50%) | (11) My Mate Ted 5/1, C&D winner. 10/3, twelfth of 16 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) 5 months ago, weakening over 2f out. Gelded since but this a tougher race than he need contest so others are more persuasive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (6/1 -9%) Brains |
6/1(-9%) | (6) Brains 6/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. 9/2, ran creditably despite being unable to lead when third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 22 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Remains of interest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (11/1 -83%) Al Marmar |
11/1(-83%) | (2) Al Marmar 11/1, 5/1, proved to be a disappointment returned to handicap company after 6 months off tenth of 11 at Newcastle (8f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (25/1 -79%) Darwell Lion |
25/1(-79%) | (4) Darwell Lion 25/1, Stepped up on previous runs for this yard when fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 25/1) 43 days ago, well placed in a tactical affair. More needed in this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (40/1 -60%) Cliffs Of Capri |
40/1(-60%) | (7) Cliffs Of Capri 40/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 12/1) 7 weeks ago, late headway. Continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MILLION THANKS produced his best effort since joining new connections when runner-up over C&D last month and the four-year-old gets the vote to go one better, despite receiving a 3lb rise from the handicapper. Brains has enjoyed a productive winter, winning twice in his last four outings, and warrants plenty of respect with William Buick booked for the ride, while others to note include Naval Commander and Stately Home.
NAVAL COMMANDER hasn't had a lot of racing for his age and, arriving on the back of a career-best effort when runner-up in a stronger race over C&D a couple of months ago, Robyn Brisland's charge gets the nod to notch career success number 4. Stately Home landed a first success on synthetics over C&D recently, so he's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Million Thanks.
Stockpyle is interesting at the likely odds but BRAINS has done well since the blinkers went back on and he gets the nod.

1st (2) (5.5/1 -22%) Bandinelli |
5.5/1(-22%) | (2) Bandinelli 5.5/1, Dual C&D winner. Back to form when third of 13 in handicap also at this C&D when last seen in December. Respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Duty Of Care |
4.5/1(+0%) | (3) Duty Of Care 4.5/1, After 3 months off, made it back-to-back wins at this C&D in 12-runner handicap 24 days ago. Not taken lightly in his current form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/1 +42%) Bascule |
7/1(+42%) | (4) Bascule 7/1, Course winner. Sixth of 10 in maiden hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft, 7/1) 82 days ago. Had shaped well here on both starts in November/December and blinkers back on now returned to the level. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (8/1 -7%) Aced It |
8/1(-7%) | (6) Aced It 8/1, C&D winner in January. Has run well back here both starts since, 3 lengths third of 10 to Aztec Empire in handicap 38 days ago. Can give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/1 +25%) Sleeping Lion |
9/1(+25%) | (1) Sleeping Lion 9/1, Dual C&D winner, successful here on first of only 2 starts last year. After 10 months off, sixth of 8 in minor event (15/2) at this C&D 52 days ago, needing stronger gallop. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (1.25/1 +0%) Aztec Empire |
1.25/1(+0%) | (5) Aztec Empire 1.25/1, Upped in trip, recorded his second win here of the year in 10-runner handicap over C&D (11/10) 38 days ago. Can score again at this course with the potential for better still. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Bandinelli (2022) and Sleeping Lion (2021) have won the last two renewals of this contest and they both merit consideration. That said, preference is for the unexposed AZTEC EMPIRE, who was an impressive winner over C&D on just his second start in handicap company last time. A 6lb rise will make his life tougher here but the son of Sea The Stars may have the improvement required to defy his current mark. Duty Of Care has won his last two starts over this track and trip and he should not be underestimated on his hat-trick bid.
AZTEC EMPIRE was suited by the step up in trip when recording a second course win of the year last time, scoring with a bit in hand, and he can follow up with further progress to come. The main danger could be Duty of Care, who arrives bidding to make it a hat-trick at this C&D, with Bandinelli completing the shortlist on his return.
Improvement will probably win it and there are two very strong candidates for that in AZTEC EMPIRE (nap) and Duty Of Care.

1st (3) (2/1 +56%) Grenham Bay |
2/1(+56%) | (3) Grenham Bay 2/1, After 7 months off (gelded/had wind op), promise amidst greenness when fourth of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago. Shortlisted with progress to come. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.25/1 -29%) Fix You |
2.25/1(-29%) | (1) Fix You 2.25/1, Looked good prospect when winning at Thirsk on debut. 2/1, 5¾ lengths fourth of 5 to Manhattan Jungle in listed race at Vichy (5f, good to soft) next time, but can get back on track upped in trip on her return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (25/1 +11%) Chamber Choir |
25/1(+11%) | (7) Chamber Choir 25/1, Took another step back in right direction when fourth of 12 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f, 50/1) 65 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3/1 +40%) Due Date |
3/1(+40%) | (2) Due Date 3/1, After 5 months off, still green when fifth of 10 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago, needing stiffer test. Well bred and he's open to further improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4.5/1 -125%) Trilby |
4.5/1(-125%) | (4) Trilby 4.5/1, Went the right way in a trio of starts in 2022, second of 11 in minor event at this C&D when last seen in October. Gelded since and can go well again on his reappearance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (100/1 +0%) Island Native |
100/1(+0%) | (5) Island Native 100/1, Went with little promise when ninth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 50/1) on debut 21 days ago. Best watched. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (125/1 -89%) Stoic Syd |
125/1(-89%) | (6) Stoic Syd 125/1, Showed much more than on debut when fourth of 5 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 7 days ago. Will be of more appeal in handicaps, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (33/1 +0%) Urban Jungle |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Urban Jungle 33/1, Didn't fare much better than on debut when seventh of 10 in minor event at this C&D (16/1) in September, unable to sustain effort. Has plenty to find after 6 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (150/1 -50%) Tough Girl |
150/1(-50%) | (9) Tough Girl 150/1, 200/1 and hooded, always behind when last of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) on debut 29 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FIX YOU was an impressive debut winner last April before a respectable effort in a French Listed race the following month. The daughter of Night Of Thunder has been off the track since then but could prove to be a class above her rivals here. Trilby has improved with each start to date and edges out Grenham Bay and Due Date to be the pick of the remainder.
FIX YOU looked a good prospect when winning at Thirsk on debut last year and, after running below that level in a listed race next time, she is taken to get back on track with the step up in trip to suit on her reappearance. Trilby has been gelded since last seen and could be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Grenham Bay.
The best is yet to come from Due Date but it may be worth chancing the fitness of FIX YOU who looked so promising on debut.

1st (2) (4/1 +11%) Dora Penny |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Dora Penny 4/1, Six wins from 16 runs last year, most recently at Wolverhampton in November. Weak in market when seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 29 days ago and could well strip fitter here with Murphy aboard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3/1 +25%) Cruise |
3/1(+25%) | (5) Cruise 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good, 9/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Makes handicap debut with mark looking potentially workable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3.5/1 +56%) Lil Guff |
3.5/1(+56%) | (3) Lil Guff 3.5/1, C&D winner. Won at Haydock and Yarmouth last season before going off the boil. Market may act as guide on return from 7 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (3.33/1 -77%) Girl Magic |
3.33/1(-77%) | (4) Girl Magic 3.33/1, Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 5/2), just holding on. Off 144 days. Makes handicap debut. Respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5/1 -67%) Cuban Breeze |
5/1(-67%) | (1) Cuban Breeze 5/1, Five wins from 19 runs last year. 20/1, shaped as if needing run when seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago and she's highly respected dropping in grade against on sex. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
GIRL MAGIC ran to a consistent, solid level throughout her juvenile campaign and handled a Polytrack surface just fine when successful over this trip at Chelmsford last time. If anywhere near peak fitness on her seasonal/handicap debut, she looks sure to mount a bold bid. Dora Penny is entitled to improve for her comeback run at Lingfield last month and she merits consideration with Oisin Murphy aboard, similarly Cuban Breeze, who made a pleasing enough reappearance in 0-105 company at Wolverhampton.
CUBAN BREEZE enjoyed a prolific campaign last year and, with the benefit of a recent run now under her belt, is fancied to take this drop in grade in her stride at the chief expense of unexposed handicap debutante Girl Magic. The selection's stable companion Dora Penny is preferred to another handicap newcomer Cruise for third.
A trappy handicap in which CUBAN BREEZE is marginally preferred to her stablemate Dora Penny.

2nd (7) (10/1 +0%) Udaberri |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Udaberri 10/1, Won at Salisbury last season before ending campaign with a good third of 12 in handicap at this course (12f). Off 134 days. SOlid place claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/1 +9%) Bizarre Law |
5/1(+9%) | (3) Bizarre Law 5/1, Course winner. Won at Goodwood last season and ended campaign in reasonable form. Mark looks about right on return from 6-month absence. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (0.73/1 +42%) Chantico |
0.73/1(+42%) | (5) Chantico 0.73/1, Promising individual. Won 7-runner minor event (5/4) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 24 days ago, keeping on well. Makes handicap debut. Has to be taken seriously. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (80/1 +0%) Destiny Queen |
80/1(+0%) | (8) Destiny Queen 80/1, Won on debut at Ascot in 2021 but didn't look as if she'd trained on in pair of handicaps last year. Off 8 months. Makes polytrack debut. Hood on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (14/1 -40%) Open Champion |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Open Champion 14/1, Fairly useful winner for Roger Varian last term. In process of running well below that level when taking a fall in Market Rasen juvenile hurdle 39 days ago. Bit to prove quickly switched back to the Flat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (14/1 -115%) Lizzie Jean |
14/1(-115%) | (1) Lizzie Jean 14/1, Broker maiden over C&D last summer before impressing with wide-margin success in Southwell handicap. Failed to beat a rival on turf next 2 outings (including when holding her own for long way in St Leger) and she's worth market check back on AW. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (28/1 -12%) Candy Shack |
28/1(-12%) | (6) Candy Shack 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Again shaped well when second of 6 in maiden at Goodwood (14f, good to firm, 9/4). Off 9 months. Down in trip. Opening mark requires improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (18/1 +36%) Jenson Benson |
18/1(+36%) | (9) Jenson Benson 18/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. 15/8, creditable second of 8 in handicap there (10f) 30 days ago. Still unexposed at this sort of trip and enters calculations. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Simply Sondheim had won six in a row prior to finishing down the field in the Old Rowley Cup and he warrants plenty of respect on his return to action, but race-fitness could give CHANTICO the edge. He showed that he has improved from three to four years when making a winning comeback at Lingfield last month and this extra furlong can only be a positive. An opening mark of 84 may underestimate his ability, while first-time gelding Bizarre Law also merits shortlist inclusion on his reappearance.
CHANTICO scored in good style at Lingfield on his reappearance and shouldn't be overfaced by an opening mark of 84, especially with the prospect of further improvement likely. This is a tougher contest than Jenson Benson usualy contests but he arrives in good heart and looks on a fair mark, so is respected, whilst Lizzie Jean is very intriguing switched back the all-weather.
They are not the only ones of interest but this may well be between SIMPLY SONDHEIM and Chantico.
Ths is the racecard key.
