Arkhalia Flynn |
(4) (12/1 +14%)12/1(+14%) | (4) Arkhalia Flynn 12/1, Fifth of 9 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good, 16/1) on debut. Off 8 months with work to do. Pulled hard on 7f turf debut last summer so the drop in trip may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) (7/2 +36%) Auric |
7/2(+36%) | (5) Auric 7/2, Promising individual. 40/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 35 days ago, finishing well. Sure to improve so he's in the mix. Promise on 6f Wolverhampton debut; Murphy takes over from 5lb claimer; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/2 +68%) Harry Did |
7/2(+68%) | (2) Harry Did 7/2, Twice-raced maiden, very good second of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (6f, 5/2) when needing stiffer test 147 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Stepped up a little on 7f debut here when second over 6f at Newcastle; more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (80/1 -264%) Boadicia |
80/1(-264%) | (9) Boadicia 80/1, 12/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut, not clear run. Off 137 days. Open to progress. Better than result (met trouble) when fifth on 7f debut in November; likely improver. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (14/1 -211%) Grandlad |
14/1(-211%) | (7) Grandlad 14/1, Promising Acclamation colt. 5/1, second of 5 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) on debut 15 days ago, edged out only late on. Leading form claims. Plenty to like about his near miss on recent 6f Newcastle debut; likely to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (16/1 -14%) Star Pupil |
16/1(-14%) | (3) Star Pupil 16/1, 6/1, sixth of 13 in minor event at this course (8f) on debut. Off 115 days. Down in trip with more needed. Faded into sixth on 1m course debut in December but he was only 6-1; down 2f in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (7/2 +36%) Kodi Lion |
7/2(+36%) | (8) Kodi Lion 7/2, 7/2, third of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut. Off 8 months but he's open to improvement. Travelled well for a long way when 3rd on 7f AW debut last summer; 6f should suit; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (5/1 +44%) Sky Warrior |
5/1(+44%) | (1) Sky Warrior 5/1, Won 12-runner maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 7/2). Off 8 months but should have more to offer. Winner over 6f on turf last July; off since but remains likely to go on to better things. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (10/1 +9%) Ethandun |
10/1(+9%) | (6) Ethandun 10/1, Fair maiden. Gelded/off 9 months before posting a good third of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/4) 15 days ago. Needs considering. Fair form and might be sharper for recent Lingfield reappearance; shouldn't be far away. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The Harry Eustace stable has a decent record around here and this looks like an ideal opportunity for HARRY DID to break the maiden. The son of Exceed And Excel improved from his first to his second start when runner-up at Newcastle and may have too much for promising Wolverhampton fourth Auric, as well as Kodi Lion, who has been gelded since his debut third at Newcastle last summer. Sky Warrior has a much tougher task on his hands under a 7lb penalty after scoring at Doncaster on his second appearance.
None of these can be ruled out but James Horton's GRANDLAD holds the edge on the form of his promising debut second at Newcastle so looks the way to go. Hugo Palmer's once-raced Auric also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list, with Harry Did and Sky Warrior both in the picture too in an intriguing novice.
There was a lot to like about the way KODI LION moved through the race on his 7f Newcastle debut last summer so he's the suggestion.

Choisya |
(3) (5/2 +44%)5/2(+44%) | (3) Choisya 5/2, Useful filly. Four wins from 11 runs last year. 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D by neck from Julia Augusta, all out. Off 138 days. Shortlist material. Progressing well despite an inclination to hang left; C&D winner; leading form claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Adelaise |
(2) (10/3 +17%)10/3(+17%) | (2) Adelaise 10/3, Useful mare. Course winner. 11/1, creditable 2 lengths fifth of 11 to Dancing Goddess in listed race at Longchamp (9f, good). Off 174 days. Respected. Has only a novice win to her name but has regularly run well in good company; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Julia Augusta |
(5) (4/1 +33%)4/1(+33%) | (5) Julia Augusta 4/1, Useful mare. C&D winner. 6/4, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 96 days. Can give a good account with posing serious threat to principals. Low mileage for her age; ran well over C&D in November but work to do with Choisya on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Many Tears |
(1) (6/1 -50%)6/1(-50%) | (1) Many Tears 6/1, Useful filly. Career best when winning 12-runner listed race (17/2) at Dundalk (8f) by 2¼ lengths from Didn'thavemuchtodo, suited by increase in trip. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons (300,000 gns). Leading player. Impressed in 1m Dundalk Listed race in November; sold 300,000gns December; unexposed at 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mystic Pearl |
(8) (17/2 -42%)17/2(-42%) | (8) Mystic Pearl 17/2, Useful filly. 7¼ lengths fourth of 7 to English Rose in Balanchine at Meydan (9f, good, 25/1) 43 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. 1m Listed win on turf last summer; struggled in Group 2s in Dubai this year; headgear now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mother Mary |
(6) (14/1 +50%)14/1(+50%) | (6) Mother Mary 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. 8/1, very good third of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft), suited by increase in trip. Off 6 months. Makes polytrack debut. Plenty to find on form. 7f turf winner last summer; beaten off a mark of 82 on handicap debut; this looks too hot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Zouky |
(10) (18/1 -112%)18/1(-112%) | (10) Zouky 18/1, Useful filly. 50/1, 4¾ lengths eighth of 12 to Queen Aminatu in listed race at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 151 days. More needed to make a more significant impacr at this level. Unexposed at the trip but she'll need a clear personal best to trouble the principals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Enola Grey |
(4) (28/1 -12%)28/1(-12%) | (4) Enola Grey 28/1, Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f, evens) 21 days ago, overcoming positional bias. Arrives in good heart but something to find in this company. Thriving for new yard this winter; this represents a much stiffer test of her credentials. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mysterious Love |
(7) (33/1 -230%)33/1(-230%) | (7) Mysterious Love 33/1, Useful filly. Below form 17½ lengths eighth of 14 to Sparks Fly in listed race (11/1) at Saint-Cloud (8f, heavy). Off 159 days. Makes polytrack debut. Others preferred. Shown a good level of ability without making the frame in five stakes races; AW debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rose Prick |
(9) (50/1 -178%)50/1(-178%) | (9) Rose Prick 50/1, Fairly useful filly. 25/1, 8 lengths seventh of 9 to Random Harvest in Valiant Fillies' Stakes at Ascot (8f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Makes polytrack debut. Uphill task. Beaten only 3l at this level in France last summer but opposable on balance of her form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
A determined winner over C&D from the reopposing Julia Augusta back in November, CHOISYA was a relatively progressive filly last season and she looks ready for her first go at black type. Now in the hands of James Ferguson, Many Tears is interesting on the back of a Listed success at Dundalk, while Mystic Pearl should be fit and firing after a couple of spins at Meydan. Irish raider Adelaise may be winless since scoring here over two years ago, but she has run in some highly competitive races.
CHOISYA progressed into a smart performer at 3 yrs and looks up to taking the step into listed company in her stride. Many Tears was acquired for 300,000 gns after winning at Dundalk in November and makes plenty of appeal having since joined the James Ferguson yard, with Mystic Pearl also respected having stepped back in the right direction at Meydan last time.
Choisya looks the one to beat but MANY TEARS could well have more to give on AW for her new yard and is narrowly preferred.

Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Considered if fully tuned up for his comeback. Easy winner of AW starts; off since sixth in turf Group 3 in May; very interesting runner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Intinso |
(3) (11/4 +50%)11/4(+50%) | (3) Intinso 11/4, Gelded/off 7 months before easily resuming winning ways in good style in 9-runner handicap (8/15) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago. Up 8 b but this low-mileage 4-y-o looks to have plenty more to offer. Big shout. Gelded prior to easy win on Wolverhampton reappearance; likely more to come for top yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cannon Rock |
(13) (17/2 +23%)17/2(+23%) | (13) Cannon Rock 17/2, First run since leaving Charlie Appleby when winning 12-runner minor event at Southwell (12.1f) 32 days ago, despite missing break. Cheekpieces go back on for his handicap debut and not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. Returned from long layoff to make it 2-3 in Southwell novice recently; an unknown quantity. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chillingham |
(5) (9/1 -64%)9/1(-64%) | (5) Chillingham 9/1, Creditable second of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (14f). Off 135 days. Down in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Looks competitive on form. His second at Wolverhampton in November is very solid AW form; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Youthful King |
(11) (14/1 -27%)14/1(-27%) | (11) Youthful King 14/1, 10/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 8 days ago, left with lot to do. One for the shortlist. Shaped well last twice, finishing with rattle for fourth at Lingfield on Good Friday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Old Peculier |
(14) (14/1 +13%)14/1(+13%) | (14) Old Peculier 14/1, Latest win at Dundalk in January. Good second of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 36 days ago. Progressing well recently so this Irish challenger is much respected. Big improver on AW in blinkers this winter; yet another who has to enter reckoning. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Killybegs Warrior |
(2) (18/1 -50%)18/1(-50%) | (2) Killybegs Warrior 18/1, Creditable third of 12 in handicap (9/1) at York (10.2f, soft), having run of race. Off 175 days but he can't be dismissed. Useful on his day and placed on AW last spring but others are more appealing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Valsad |
(7) (20/1 -43%)20/1(-43%) | (7) Valsad 20/1, 8/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 27 days ago, well positioned. Makes polytrack debut. Firmly in the picture. Latest Southwell win was a career best but a 5lb rise demands more from him again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dream Harder |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cemhaan |
(1) (25/1 -127%)25/1(-127%) | (1) Cemhaan 25/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, 17/2) 70 days ago. Needs considering. Course winner; sound fourth on 1m4f course return but will need a smart effort to prevail. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Laafi |
(4) (28/1 -155%)28/1(-155%) | (4) Laafi 28/1, Latest win at Newmarket in November. Possibly found the run coming too soon when twelfth of 13 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 147 days ago. Well worth another chance. 1m2f win on turf last autumn; well held final start but remains low mileage for top stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Londoner |
(6) (33/1 +0%)33/1(+0%) | (6) Londoner 33/1, 6/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 169 days. First run for yard after leaving Aidan O'Brien but not discounted. Useful for Aidan O'Brien, including on AW; gelded ahead of first run for Jim Goldie. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Duc De Kent |

Others look better treated at these weights. No impact in good company last spring but leading yard perseveres; has been gelded. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Favourite for a competitive handicap at Musselburgh last week before the meeting was abandoned, CHILLINGHAM has been rerouted to this valuable contest and dropping back in trip could be ideal, having travelled with plenty of zest when runner-up over 1m6f at Wolverhampton. Cemhaan may have a tough task off top weight, but he won easily here last May and must enter calculations along with the unexposed Old Harrovian and Intinso, who looked much improved when scoring at Wolverhampton.
A cracking renewal of the Rosebery in which the Gosdens' upwardly-mobile INTINSO is hard to side against on the back of his impressive reappearance success at Wolverhampton with the promise of plenty more to come. Old Harrovian looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so is feared most despite lacking a recent run, while hat-trick seeking Cannon Rock and the progressive Irish raider Old Peculier can also have a say.
If there's one in this competitive handicap who could be well ahead of its mark it's OLD HARROVIAN (nap), who can make it 3-3 on AW.

Aqwaam |
(10) (4/1 +60%)4/1(+60%) | (10) Aqwaam 4/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 8 days ago, well on top finish. Cheekpieces back on. Drawn wider than ideal but arrives in top form and has to be respected from 4 lb higher mark. Reached new heights during a pretty busy AW campaign; tidy 2m win at Lingfield 8 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Novel Legend |
(1) (4/1 -20%)4/1(-20%) | (1) Novel Legend 4/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 7 runs last year. Well-beaten eighth of 11 to Double Major in Prix Royal-Oak (19/1) at Longchamp (15.4f, heavy). Off 160 days. Now 3 lb above last winning mark and merits respect back in a handicap. C&D winner; had a cracking campaign last term before his heavy defeats on last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit Breaker |
(14) (5/1 +64%)5/1(+64%) | (14) Circuit Breaker 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. 3/1, good second of 5 in handicap at Haydock (14f, soft), clear of rest. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Ralph Beckett. Tongue strap on 1st time. Still relatively unexposed and has the physical scope to make a better 4-y-o. Left R Beckett for 260,000gns October; off since; tongue-tie now; lightly raced; potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Duty Of Care |
(12) (6/1 +57%)6/1(+57%) | (12) Duty Of Care 6/1, C&D winner. 9/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 8 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks competitive from this kind of mark but widest draw means he'll have work to do. Two C&D wins before 2nd in this race last year; has a 2lb lower mark; not disgraced lately. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Spirit Mixer |
(5) (13/2 +35%)13/2(+35%) | (5) Spirit Mixer 13/2, Landed hat-trick in first half of 2022 but seen only sparingly since. Presumably needed run when eighth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 36 days ago. On an interesting mark if able to build on that. One race in 2023 and off 328 days before his stiff task five weeks ago, below form in both. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sleeping Lion |
(4) (10/1 +29%)10/1(+29%) | (4) Sleeping Lion 10/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 63 days ago. Consistent should do himself justice again, but others strike as better treated for win purposes. Won this race in 2021; C&D 3rd two months ago showed again that he should not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sweet Fantasy |
(13) (12/1 -336%)12/1(-336%) | (13) Sweet Fantasy 12/1, Won a pair of 1½m handicaps with give in the ground for Ralph Beckett last summer and 2-2 over hurdles in 2024 for her new yard. Interesting back on the Flat. Has won on AW; did well on soft since; needs to transfer improvement but highly respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tritonic |
(2) (14/1 -56%)14/1(-56%) | (2) Tritonic 14/1, In frame in Ascot Stakes and Old Borough Cup at Haydock (1¾m) last season. Notched a chase win in November and handicapped to play a prominent role if primed after 113 days off. Sole AW run was 2021; 3rd of 19 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) last June but others look more solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Splendent |
(9) (20/1 -43%)20/1(-43%) | (9) Splendent 20/1, Latest win at Kincsem in September. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, soft, 11/2). Off 155 days. Makes polytrack debut. Remains on fair mark, so not discounted if seeing out the longer trip. Registered three turf wins last season; more to prove going beyond 1m6f for the first time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Solent Gateway |
(7) (33/1 -83%)33/1(-83%) | (7) Solent Gateway 33/1, Won at Haydock last May before signing off for season with sound in-frame efforts at Newbury and York. Abject performance when last at Lingfield on retur, though, so bit to prove on back of that. Had a solid campaign last year and is effective over C&D; each-way chance if back on song. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Island Brave |
(3) (40/1 -60%)40/1(-60%) | (3) Island Brave 40/1, Useful handicapper who scored in determined fashion at Haydock in 2022. Raced only once last season, when beaten 18 lengths second of 3 to Trawlerman in listed race at Newmarket (16f, good to firm). Off 6 months. Others preferred. Ran once 2023; reliable and effective on AW but the handicapper has not cut him any slack. |

Manu Et Corde |
(6) (80/1 -60%)80/1(-60%) | (6) Manu Et Corde 80/1, Useful at up to 1¾m at his best for Jim Bolger in Ireland in 2022. Long absence to overcome on return for a new yard but he's still worth a precautionary betting check. Tongue tied first time. Ex-Jim Bolger; 70,000gns buy in October 2022 and this is his first outing since; AW debut. |

Galactic Jack |
(11) (100/1 -150%)100/1(-150%) | (11) Galactic Jack 100/1, Won at Salisbury in July for Andrew Balding but little show since, including over hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Anthony Charlton. Has work to do. First start since leaving Tony Charlton, for whom he was in modest form; not proven on AW. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Having found the Irish Cesarewitch and Prix Royal-Oak too much of a stretch at the end of last season, C&D winner NOVEL LEGEND should prove far more competitive in these calmer waters. James Fanshawe's inmate was a progressive stayer prior to those tall assignments and a fifth career victory could be in the offing. Sweet Fantasy has been in fine form over the sticks since joining James Owen and she's feared most now reverting to the all-weather, ahead of recent Lingfield scorer Aqwaam.
SWEET FANTASY has made a fine start to life hurdling for her new yard and looks an interesting contender returned to the Flat given her current vein of form. Circuit Breaker reached 260,000 gns for his primarily jumps-focused yard and is a particuarly intriguing runner on debut for Jonjo O'Neill, appealing very much as the type to do better at 4 yrs, with the in-form Aqwaam just preferred to Novel Legend for third.
The vote goes to SWEET FANTASY ahead of Novel Legend, Aqwaam and Circuit Breaker.

Devoted Queen |
(2) (1/2 -14%)1/2(-14%) | (2) Devoted Queen 1/2, Kingman filly. 15/8, impressive when won 7-runner maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut, travelling fluently to lead 1f out before quickening clear. Off 176 days. Most exciting prospect is likely to take the beating. Entered in 1000 Guineas and likely hard to beat on back of promising Newmarket debut win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ahlain |
(1) (4/1 +38%)4/1(+38%) | (1) Ahlain 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Course winner. One win from 3 runs last year. Improved again when 1½ lengths fourth of 10 to Watch My Tracer in listed race (17/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 30 days ago. Respected. Won first two AW starts and good fourth in 7f Lingfield Listed latest. |

Les Bleus |
(3) (6/1 -20%)6/1(-20%) | (3) Les Bleus 6/1, Fairly useful filly. Bit below form third of 11 in minor event (4/1) at Goodwood (7f, soft). Off 6 months. Makes polytrack debut. Twice placed at Group level last season, so not discounted. Group-placed on turf at 2; yard's excellent form suggests she can go well on reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Marcella |
(4) (12/1 -41%)12/1(-41%) | (4) Marcella 12/1, Left debut form well behind to win 5-runner minor event (18/1) at Chester in August. Out of depth in listed race at Haydock since and this is likely to prove too much. Hood goes on after 7-month absence. 7f novice win at 2 but well held in 1m Listed race final start; hooded for reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Twisted Tiara |
(5) (80/1 -60%)80/1(-60%) | (5) Twisted Tiara 80/1, 20,000 gns yearling, Ribchester filly. Sister to 7f-8.3f winner Washraa and half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Gorgeous Noora and ungenuine 1¼m winner Hawridge Storm. Wears hood. Opposable making debut in a hot contest. Bred to have future but very much pitched in at deep end on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
There was a lot to like about DEVOTED QUEEN's debut victory at Newmarket in October and another impressive performance here could even see her take up her engagement in the 1000 Guineas. Les Bleus posted some creditable efforts in defeat towards the end of last season's campaign and Richard Hughes' filly isn't taken lightly on her all-weather debut. Marcella and Ahlain aren't out of it either.
The regally-bred DEVOTED QUEEN made an impressive winning debut at Newmarket in the autumn and rates as the best prospect in this field, so is fancied to make a successful comeback with bigger prizes surely in her sights further down the line. Ahlain is proving steadily progressive and appeals as best of the rest, though Les Bleus would also hold sound claims on the pick of her juvenile form.
There was a lot to like about DEVOTED QUEEN's debut win last autumn and she can improve past Les Bleus and Ahlain.

(1) (4/7 +37%)4/7(+37%) | (1) Notable Speech 4/7, 2-2 in C&D maiden/novice events this winter, latterly beating recent Newcastle listed winner Cuban Tiger. Looks a smart prospect and can extend his unbeaten record to 3. 2-2, both wins over C&D, and barely extended to beat a subsequent Listed winner latest. |

Native Warrior |
(4) (13/2 +13%)13/2(+13%) | (4) Native Warrior 13/2, Promise when placed twice over 7f at Newmarket last autumn, particularly when going close on the second occasion. Definitely more to come from him. Placed in two Newmarket events (7f) last season; more to come from him over 1m+ this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Valvano |
(3) (13/2 -117%)13/2(-117%) | (3) Valvano 13/2, Made a highly promising start to his career when a 6-length winner in the mud at Nottingham last backed. That form lacks substance but he could do no more than win easily. Holds Group entries. Impressed in the mud on sole 2yo run (8.5f); has some lofty entries; interesting contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Persica |
(2) (8/1 +50%)8/1(+50%) | (2) Persica 8/1, Fairly useful dual winner at 2, the latter success coming in a C&D nursery when last seen in September. May have more to offer but will need to raise his game a good bit to come out on top here. 2-4 as a 2yo, showing improvement when upped to 1m here on final run; this is tougher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Witness Stand |
(5) (14/1 -180%)14/1(-180%) | (5) Witness Stand 14/1, Useful on turf at 2, culminating with a second in Newmarket Group 3 in November. Switches to AW for the first time on return. Tudhope seemingly prefers Native Warrior. Did well on slow ground in the autumn, 2nd in a 7f Group 3 latest; likely more is needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A fascinating contest in which it is difficult to rule out anything, so only a tentative vote can go to VALVANO. The expensive Night Of Thunder colt, a taking winner on his debut at Nottingham in October, holds some lofty entries and this looks to be a good springboard en route to later targets. Notable Speech defeated subsequent Listed scorer Cuban Tiger over C&D in February and he is the main danger. Witness Stand, who finished a good second in the Horris Hill, heads the remainder.
The form of NOTABLE SPEECH's second C&D win was strongly boosted at Newcastle over Easter and he should prove hard to beat again. Nottingham debut winner Valvano and Karl Burke's Native Warrior are others who should do well this year and can fight it out for the forecast spot.
With his latest C&D win boosted, this looks good for NOTABLE SPEECH to extend his unbeaten record to three. Valvano is feared most.

Azure Angel |
(3) (11/4 +8%)11/4(+8%) | (3) Azure Angel 11/4, Promising sort. C&D winner. One win from 2 runs last year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (6f) 46 days ago. Open to improvement. 4-4 on AW; created a positive impression on her reappearance; 4lb rise fair; more to come. |

Knebworth |
(8) (3/1 +33%)3/1(+33%) | (8) Knebworth 3/1, Six wins from 22 Flat runs. 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) 13 days ago. Makes plenty of appeal returning for thriving stable. Two good runs last month, chasing home Ferrous before a Doncaster win; in the mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ferrous |
(5) (11/2 -22%)11/2(-22%) | (5) Ferrous 11/2, 10/3, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 28 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Knebworth, pushed out. Makes polytrack debut. Big player. Looked an improved performer when winning at Wolverhampton four weeks ago (strong form). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Exalted Angel |
(7) (9/1 -6%)9/1(-6%) | (7) Exalted Angel 9/1, Twenty seven runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 8 days ago. On a long losing run but down in the weights and retains ability; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Intervention |
(4) (10/1 -54%)10/1(-54%) | (4) Intervention 10/1, Four wins from 20 runs last year. Good second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 18/1) 8 days ago, just failing. Has enjoyed a superb AW campaign and should be on the premises again. Fully exposed but still getting better judged on latest Lingfield second; 2lb higher today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Desert Cop |
(1) (11/1 -10%)11/1(-10%) | (1) Desert Cop 11/1, C&D winner. 11/1, last of 6 in minor event at this C&D. Off 6 months. Has slipped in the weights and usually run well at this track, so worth considering despite tricky draw. Chance on best 2023 form; yard going well; overall record is unconvincing; drawn widest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fresh |
(2) (11/1 -38%)11/1(-38%) | (2) Fresh 11/1, C&D winner. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at this C&D. Off 150 days. Others more persuasive. Beaten in this race on return in the last 3 seasons; essentially disappointing last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Watchya |
(9) (16/1 +11%)16/1(+11%) | (9) Watchya 16/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (25/1). Off 150 days. Has work to do and is liable to strip fitter for this. Below best in November latest; down weights and should come good sooner rather than later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rebel Path |
(10) (25/1 -39%)25/1(-39%) | (10) Rebel Path 25/1, 40/1, 8½ lengths tenth of 12 to Ferrous in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 28 days ago, not knocked about. Needs to get back on track. Neither run for current yard suggests he's up to defying this mark; needs to settle better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Good Earth |
(6) (66/1 -267%)66/1(-267%) | (6) Good Earth 66/1, Three wins from 13 runs last year. Sixteenth of 19 in handicap at York (5f, soft, 33/1). Off 6 months. Others more persuasive. He's done well for this yard but last year's wins came over 5f and he's back from a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rathbone |
(11) (66/1 -200%)66/1(-200%) | (11) Rathbone 66/1, 33/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). Off 155 days. Likely to need the run, so others make more appeal. Won twice last September; returns from 5-month break on a tough mark; usual headgear off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Strong Power |
(12) (66/1 -65%)66/1(-65%) | (12) Strong Power 66/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Doncaster (5f, soft) 13 days ago. Better on AW, so not completely ruled out. New yard should find races for him but perhaps not one so deep as this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
AZURE ANGEL was able to maintain her unbeaten all-weather record when recording an eyecatching success at Newcastle in February, and a subsequent 4lb rise might not be enough to stop the progressive daughter of Harry Angel. Knebworth responded well to first-time cheekpieces when on target at Doncaster and must be respected, along with Ferrous, who beat him at Wolverhampton, and the returning Fresh.
AZURE ANGEL is highly progressive and had something to spare when getting the better of another improving sort at Newcastle last time, so she boasts excellent claims once more. Ferrous and Knebworth also arrive on the back of career-best, winning efforts, so they could well trouble the selection.
Ferrous has obvious claims but AZURE ANGEL, 4-4 on AW, won tidily at Newcastle on her return and may not have reached her ceiling.

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.
