1st (1)  (8/11 +51%)Scenic |
8/11(+51%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Scenic 8/11, Useful filly, 0-9 but kept some good company last year, chasing home promising winners final 2 starts. Should be suited by this trip and fresh might be the time to catch her. Listed third at York last July highlights that she should have broken her duck by now. |
|||
2nd (6)  (14/1 -27%)Nowhere |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Nowhere 14/1, Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner (stays 1¼m) Promoter (by Showcasing). Dam, 10.3f-14.4f winner, half-sister to smart 1½m-16.2f winner Here And Now out of Oaks winner Look Here. From good family for owners and she's an interesting newcomer. Late foal; appeals as much as any of newcomers on pedigree but had wind surgery in October. |
|||
3rd (2)  (18/1 +10%)Solid Silver |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Solid Silver 18/1, Placed in 2 bumpers. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Leicester (10f, heavy, 11/2) on Flat debut 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Imposing mare should be able to find a race or two. Placed in bumpers; 21l fourth of 8 in maiden at Leicester (1m2f, soft; 11-2) 11 days ago. |
|||
4th (4)  (8/1 -23%)Edna E Mode |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Edna E Mode 8/1, Gleneagles filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Royal Rift. Dam, 8.3f-11f winner, sister to smart 7f-9f winner Callwood Dancer. By Gleneagles out of Italian Oaks winner; the yard's 3yos are a striking 6-9 this season. |
|||
5th (3)  (4/1 -45%)All Too Well |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) All Too Well 4/1, 42,000 gns foal, 75,000 gns yearling, Ulysses filly. Half-sister to French 1m winner Night of Lightning. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Smaih. Newcomer to note from top yard. 75,000gns yearling; Ulysses half-sister to French 1m winner; dam 6f 2yo winner (RPR 86). |
|||
6th (7)  (15/2 -114%)Path Of Stars |
15/2(-114%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Path Of Stars 15/2, €25,000 yearling, €90,000 2-y-o, Masar filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1½m winner Queen Emma and 2-y-o 7f winner Little Becky. Big run on debut for in-form yard would come as no surprise. 90,000euros May 2yo; Masar half-sister to three winners; yard has made a good start to May. |
|||
7th (5)  (125/1 -213%)Lovemeforareason |
125/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lovemeforareason 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago, very green and tailed off. Significantly up in trip. 80-1 and unruly in parade ring when tailed off in maiden at Newmarket (1m, good). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Scenic already has black type on her CV and sets a really good standard. She was turned over at odds of 8/11 on her final two starts in 2023, though, and while there will be plenty who keep the faith, it may be worth taking her on with ALL TOO WELL. The daughter of Ulysses cost 75,000gns as a yearling and there is a nice blend of speed and stamina in her pedigree. Path Of Stars, Nowhere and Edna E Mode are other newcomers to keep an eye on.
SCENIC's record of 0-9 probably doesn't tell the full story and she's worth another chance to make a successful return having gone well here previously. Dangers may come in the shape of newcomers Path of Stars and All Too Well.
Scenic was costly to follow last term. The newcomers are interesting on paper and stable form sways the vote for EDNA E MODE.

(3)  (15/2 -7%)Brinton |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Brinton 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 32 days ago. Closest when fourth of eight at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) on first run since August. |
|||
1st (12)  (9/2 +44%)Blacklion |
9/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Blacklion 9/2, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 5/2) 32 days ago. Hood back on and has been backed as though clearly thought capable of better. Player judged on one run out of six, when 2nd of 6 at Chelmsford (1m) three starts ago. |
|||
2nd (4)  (15/2 +6%)Rinnovati |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rinnovati 15/2, Last of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 150/1). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Eve Johnson Houghton. Makes handicap debut and interesting what the market makes of her. No solid claims following her three runs last year for Eve Johnson Houghton. |
|||
3rd (13)  (11/1 +56%)Dash Power |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Dash Power 11/1, Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 6 days ago, merely closing up late. Visor may help him travel with more purpose. 0-13 and the best of his five runs this term was on second occasion; now visored. |
|||
4th (8)  (18/1 -200%)Call Me The Breeze |
18/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Call Me The Breeze 18/1, Tongue strap on for first time having left Ed Walker when fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 25/1) 15 days ago, travelling with purpose before lack of outing told. Capable of better. Tongue tied, 4l 5th of 9 at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) for new yard, travelling best to 2f out. |
|||
5th (6)  (40/1 -82%)Warrior Tune |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Warrior Tune 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. Fared no better when 20-1 for handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) on latest outing. |
|||
6th (11)  (11/2 +54%)Tea Leaf Ted |
11/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Tea Leaf Ted 11/2, 7/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D. Off 95 days and he's been expensive to follow on the AW in 2024. Close in December and short-headed next time; both were C&D but so were 2 poor shows since. |
|||
7th (1)  (16/5 +29%)Blenheim Star |
16/5(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blenheim Star 16/5, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, good third of 13 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, running on. Has to enter calculations eased slightly in class. Minor honours over 7f on Polytrack in her two handicaps puts her into each-way contention. |
|||
8th (9)  (66/1 -100%)Wedgewood Sapphire |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Wedgewood Sapphire 66/1, First run since leaving P. De Chevigny when tenth of 11 in maiden (250/1) at this C&D on UK debut 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Well beaten in her two starts in France (5.5f/1m1f) and same story in C&D maiden (250-1). |
|||
9th (2)  (6/1 -33%)Falmouth Boy |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Falmouth Boy 6/1, Creditable third of 11 in handicap (6/4) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 33 days ago, needing stiffer test. Not taken lightly upped to 7f. Made the frame in 7f/6f handicaps on Lingfield Polytrack all three starts this year. |
|||
10th (14)  (22/1 +0%)Dream Of Keda |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Dream Of Keda 22/1, Fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (150/1) 21 days ago. Fortunes improved in C&D handicap last time but she still managed only fifth of 13. |
|||
|RR| (7)  (22/1 +56%)Unforgettable Fire |
22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Unforgettable Fire 22/1, 20/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 8 days ago, slowly away. Free-going sort; contrasting tactics on last two start both had uninspiring results. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
FALMOUTH BOY has lacked a change of gear at Lingfield on his last couple of appearances, including when sent off a strong favourite last time, but the rise from 6f could be just what he needs and he is worth sticking with. Blenheim Star made an encouraging return when third over C&D, as did Brinton with her Chelmsford fourth. Rinnovati hasn't come anywhere near justifying her 200,000-euro price tag, but new trainer Archie Watson sends her handicapping off a low mark.
CALL ME THE BREEZE travelled with plenty of purpose on reappearance a fortnight ago and likely to strip fitter with that under her belt, she could be the answer. Blenheim Star is eased in grade and she's a big danger, along with ready Bath scorer Meet Me In Meraki if he's allowed to take his chance.
It's two days since Meet Me In Meraki made his breakthrough at Bath on soft ground. FALMOUTH BOY otherwise looks the best option.

1st (2)  (11/10 +51%)Rochelle |
11/10(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rochelle 11/10, Promising Scissor Kick filly who matched her Newmarket debut form when off the mark in 10-runner Chelmsford maiden (7f) in November, forging clear final 1f. Promises to do better again this term and respected on debut for new yard. Favourite for two runs last backend and has plenty of potential for her new yard. |
|||
2nd (4)  (4/1 -20%)Get Jiggy With It |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Get Jiggy With It 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden who returned from 6 months off with a respectable second of 10 in maiden (9/4) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 33 days ago. A repeat gives her claims here but she may just lack the potential of a couple of the others. No obvious reason she won't go well once more but is vulnerable to improvers now. |
|||
3rd (3)  (14/1 -100%)Eternal Spring |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Eternal Spring 14/1, Cheap purchase given her pedigree but she showed plenty to work on nevertheless when sixth of 11 in maiden at this C&D (22/1) on debut 23 days ago, keeping on without being knocked about. Looks sure to progress. Shaped nicely (slowly away, trapped wide from stall 11) on C&D debut; entitled to improve. |
|||
4th (7)  (9/2 -100%)Bella Taslina |
9/2(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bella Taslina 9/2, Promising sort. Second of 10 in maiden (14/1) at Newbury (7f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago, no match for a potentially smart filly. Open to improvement and she's shortlisted here. Plenty to like about her Newbury debut, when a clear second; holds leading claims on that. |
|||
5th (1)  (5/1 +29%)Atlantis Blue |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Atlantis Blue 5/1, Fair mare who made the frame on each of her first 4 starts for present stable on turf/AW last summer. Ran below best when eleventh of 13 in handicap here (1m) on final outing in November. This is tougher coming back out of handicaps and racing over shy of 1m for the first time. |
|||
6th (10)  (125/1 -400%)Dancing The Dream |
125/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dancing The Dream 125/1, Bated Breath filly who showed a bit more than on debut when sixth of 9 in minor event at Bath (5.7f, soft, 11/1) 10 days ago. Up in trip now but she's one for handicaps later on. Bit more last time but she'll want another big step forward if she's to take this. |
|||
7th (6)  (40/1 -60%)Sneaky Girl |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sneaky Girl 40/1, Half-sister to very smart 7f-1¼m winner Lady Bowthorpe. Green and only displayed modest form in a couple of starts to date but pedigree an ongoing recommendation and she ought to do better somewhere down the line. Tonight's drop in trip doesn't look optimal and she may be best watched again. |
|||
8th (5)  (150/1 -355%)Idyllic |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Idyllic 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at this C&D 23 days ago, racing well off the pace and never dangerous. Handicaps entitled to be more her bag moving forward. Slowly away both starts to date; is likely to find life easier once handicapping. |
|||
9th (8)  (150/1 -275%)Moon Over India |
150/1(-275%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Moon Over India 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/2, last of 9 in minor event at Bath (5.7f, soft) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Below market expectations down to sprinting last time; may want more time. |
|||
10th (9)  (66/1 -100%)Rhapsody In Blue |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rhapsody In Blue 66/1, 32,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 8.6f winner Felix The Poet, and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Desert Haze. Yard among the winners but with handicappers and they wouldn't be noted for newcomers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BELLA TASLINA was no match for a smart filly who ran in the Guineas last weekend when making her debut at Newbury, but she beat the rest comfortably and is taken to go one better. Rochelle built on her pleasing introduction when landing the odds at Chelmsford. She has switched stables since and looks a bright prospect. A heavy defeat in a valuable sales race aside, Get Jiggy With It has performed with great credit so far and won't remain a maiden for too much longer.
BELLA TASLINA shaped with definite promise when chasing home a potentially smart filly in a Newbury maiden on debut 3 weeks ago and she's of interest here with progress anticipated. Rochelle, who ran out a good winner at Chelmsford late last year is feared on debut for her new yard, with Get Jiggy With It next best.
Bella Taslina has the benefit of a recent run and gets 5lb from the penalised ROCHELLE, but the selection has plenty of potential.

(14)  (100/1 -300%)Unsung Hero |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Unsung Hero 100/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (11/2), slowly away. Off 6 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Generally struggled during a light campaign last year; bit on his plate from stall 14. |
|||
1st (13)  (7/1 +42%)Thapa Vc |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Thapa Vc 7/1, C&D winner. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/1) 28 days ago, left poorly placed. Cheekpieces back on. Looks vulnerable. Tonight's bigger field should help and he's fairly treated again; is one to consider. |
|||
2nd (2)  (4/1 +0%)Giant |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Giant 4/1, C&D winner in March. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 2/1) 34 days ago. Likely to give another good account of himself. Looked to have no excuses on Tapeta latest, again from the front; this is a deeper race. |
|||
3rd (5)  (11/1 -22%)Sayifyouwill |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sayifyouwill 11/1, Four-time C&D winner. 10/1, respectable third of 6 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago, slowly away. Entitled to come on for that run and she's not without each-way hope. Currently 4-13 over C&D; won this race last year off a 2lb higher mark; shortlisted. |
|||
4th (8)  (11/1 -22%)Arctician |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Arctician 11/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/2) 34 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Consistent; will be happier back up from 6f and should give his running as usual. |
|||
5th (10)  (12/1 -71%)Mystery Monarch |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mystery Monarch 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable second of 7 in maiden (13/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 20 days ago, no match for winner. That was a good effort given that he was returning from a 31-month absence and merits respect now pitched into a handicap. Entitled to come on for comeback but is taking on hardened handicappers from a wide stall. |
|||
6th (3)  (9/1 -64%)Chola Empire |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chola Empire 9/1, 5/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 43 days ago, having run of race. 4 lb rise fair enough but another step forward will be needed if he's to follow up here. Made all when winning at Southwell off 4lb lower; little wiggle room off his revised mark. |
|||
7th (6)  (11/2 +61%)Ultramarine |
11/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ultramarine 11/2, Dual C&D winner, the latest in February. 25/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Others make more appeal. Currently 2-2 over C&D, latterly off this mark in February; can do better if settling. |
|||
8th (7)  (100/1 -400%)Redredrobin |
100/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Redredrobin 100/1, Below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft, 12/1). Off 7 months and moves back up in trip. 0-5 on the AW and likely to find a few too good. Resumes above her highest winning mark after a successful 2023; all wins have come on turf. |
|||
9th (4)  (9/2 +18%)Rich |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rich 9/2, Fourth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Newmarket (7f, soft) when last seen 9 months ago. Resumes on a 3 lb lower mark and she has to enter calculations. Won first time out as a 2yo and ran well on comeback last spring, which gives hope. |
|||
10th (12)  (13/2 +7%)Surrey Noir |
13/2(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Surrey Noir 13/2, C&D winner. 13/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 23 days ago, not knocked about. That spin will have blown away the cobwebs and he's one to consider. Cheekpieces helped last backend; should do better than on his 6f turf comeback. |
|||
11th (9)  (25/1 -79%)Touchwood |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Touchwood 25/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in October. 14/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 27 days ago. Others make more appeal on this occasion. Expensive to follow; remains 6lb above his last successful mark and is drawn wide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CHOLA EMPIRE returned to winning ways in a similar event at Southwell on his most recent outing in March and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent the five-year-old from following up. Rich has not fulfilled the promise that she displayed as a juvenile but the daughter of Cracksman should not be underestimated at this level. Giant won over C&D two starts ago and rates best of the rest.
Provided she's raring to go following a nine-month absence, RICH could be the answer. She has kept pretty good company since making a winning debut at 2 yrs and resumes here on a very attractive mark. Giant is in good form and should be in the mix once again, while Surrey Noir and handicap debutant Mystery Monarch are also shortlisted.
Last year's winner SAYIFYOUWILL is 2lb lower this time and can follow up. Surrey Noir and Thapa Vc also have chances.

1st (10)  (9/2 -29%)Midnight Drive |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Midnight Drive 9/2, 7/1, career best when striking on C&D handicap debut 21 days ago. The narrow margin of victory means the handicapper could only nudge her up 2 lb. Likely to be in the thick of things again. Still signs of inexperience latest and a 2lb rise seems fair, so she goes on the shortlist. |
|||
2nd (6)  (5/1 +0%)Tayala |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tayala 5/1, 17/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (7f) on reappearance 21 days ago, well positioned. Only nudged up 2 lb so should remain very competitive. Trainer enjoying good spring; no complaints about a 2lb rise; return to 1m should be fine. |
|||
3rd (7)  (9/1 -50%)Carpathian |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Carpathian 9/1, Promise in 3 qualifying runs over 7f/1m last autumn and should have more to offer in handicaps at 3. Interesting runner, particularly if backed. Extra furlong should suit on return and looks to start handicap life on a workable mark. |
|||
4th (5)  (11/2 -38%)Dancingwithmyself |
11/2(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dancingwithmyself 11/2, Promising individual. 2/1, won 6-runner novice at Chelmsford (1m) in October. Very much unexposed and should have more to offer in handicaps this year. Closing win over this trip reads well enough; remains open to improvement after a break. |
|||
5th (8)  (9/4 +59%)Salamanca City |
9/4(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Salamanca City 9/4, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in C&D maiden (33/1) 35 days ago, better placed than most. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask. Nothing wrong with her C&D comeback; likely she has improvement in her now handicapping. |
|||
6th (2)  (10/1 +0%)Granary Queen |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Granary Queen 10/1, Course winner in December. 25/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 28 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down to the mark she defied in December. Not discounted. Winner off this mark over 6f here in the winter; is consistent but she'll need to settle. |
|||
7th (11)  (100/1 -300%)Guns And Flowers |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Guns And Flowers 100/1, 22/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f) 70 days ago, nearest finish. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes. Others more persuasive. Didn't look to see out this trip in one try for Alice Haynes; would be a surprise winner. |
|||
8th (3)  (10/1 -25%)Pearly Star |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pearly Star 10/1, Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) in November (final start for Hugo Palmer). Worth a market check on first outing for James Horton. Picked up from Hugo Palmer last autumn for 18,000gns; resumes 2lb above sole winning mark. |
|||
9th (1)  (16/1 -14%)Red Treasure |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Red Treasure 16/1, 5/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) in February. Off 96 days. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on first time. Others are more persuasive. Didn't run well in one prior try in headgear but is capable off this mark if in the mood. |
|||
10th (4)  (66/1 -164%)Dotties Moon |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dotties Moon 66/1, Hinted at ability in 3 outings in the autumn but her opening handicap mark demands improvement. Possible she'll do better now handicapping but would want to see some market interest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SALAMANCA CITY has shown improvement with each start to date and outran odds of 33/1 when fourth in maiden over C&D last month. Now switched to handicap company, James Fanshawe's filly could be ready to strike. Dancingwithmyself remains unexposed and is an obvious threat to the selection having won at the second time of asking at Chelmsford in October. Others to note are Midnight Drive, Tayala and Carpathian.
It's perhaps best to narrow this down to the 3-y-os. DANCINGWITHMYSELF should have more to offer on the back of last autumn's Chelmsford novice win and gets the nod. Recent C&D scorer Midnight Drive rates an obvious danger, while James Ferguson's Carpathian appeals as one who should have more to offer in handicaps.
Carpathian and Salamanca City are open to improvement, as is DANCINGWITHMYSELF, who won well at Chelmsford when last seen.

1st (7)  (6/1 +25%)Tennessee Gold |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tennessee Gold 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 16/1), finishing with running left. Off 6 months. Gelded since last run. Open to progress on handicap debut. Needed the experience in three runs last backend; well worth tracking in the market. |
|||
2nd (6)  (4/1 +0%)Horse Whisperer |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Horse Whisperer 4/1, Had something in hand when back to winning ways in 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 7/2) 36 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and not taken lightly. Allowed her own way in a small field latest and will need more off a 6lb higher mark. |
|||
3rd (2)  (11/1 -57%)Bint Havana Gold |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bint Havana Gold 11/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 13/2) 43 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Pulled hard from a wide draw latest (Tapeta) to show she's still competitive off this mark. |
|||
4th (1)  (11/8 +50%)Dark Dreamer |
11/8(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dark Dreamer 11/8, Off the mark over C&D last month and improved on that when close second of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, rallying. Shortlist material. C&D scorer on reappearance; ran well on soft ground last week; his claims are obvious. |
|||
5th (3)  (12/1 -71%)Rusheen Boy |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rusheen Boy 12/1, Dual winner (both 6.1f) at Southwell in December and posted creditable second of 10 in handicap (4/1) over same C&D when last seen in January. Enters calculations on polytrack debut. Another 2lb higher, back from a break on his Polytrack debut, and needs to find more again. |
|||
6th (11)  (22/1 -83%)Willowbank |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Willowbank 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 11 in nursery (33/1) at this C&D. Off 6 months. Something to find on form. 2lb higher back from seven months off; be interesting to see how she goes in the market. |
|||
7th (9)  (40/1 -150%)Lady In Havana |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lady In Havana 40/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. 13/2 and hooded for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 34 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Done her recent racing over 7f; is fully exposed now and some way down the pecking order. |
|||
8th (8)  (11/1 +8%)Bated Breeze |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bated Breeze 11/1, 10/3, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to soft) 19 days ago, finding little. Others more persuasive. Shaped nicely on his C&D comeback behind Dark Dreamer; latest turf run will want forgiving. |
|||
9th (4)  (66/1 -560%)She Is A Keeper |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) She Is A Keeper 66/1, C&D winner. 10/3, last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Below market expectations on turf latest, which leaves her with something to prove. |
|||
10th (5)  (10/1 +9%)Cuban Harry |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cuban Harry 10/1, 10/3, sixth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Still looking for first success. This mark within range if more amenable; maybe the drop from 7f in bigger field will help. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Slightly unlucky when hampered late in the piece at Windsor last month, DARK DREAMER can gain compensation on his return to a track and trip over which he scored in determined fashion on his penultimate outing. A winner of two of his last three starts at Southwell, Rusheen Boy can give him the most to think about, ahead of Horse Whisperer, who wasn't for catching at Wolverhampton last time out.
C&D winner DARK DREAMER is going the right way and can register his second victory. Horse Whisperer and Rusheen Boy should also go well.
It's hard to get away from DARK DREAMER, who looked a touch unlucky on soft ground last week. Cuban Harry has claims if settling.

(12)  (13/2 -86%)Federated |
13/2(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Federated 13/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 4/1) 22 days ago, just holding on. May have more to come and merits respect. Came away with a subsequent winner latest; every chance of following up off 3lb higher. |
|||
1st (4)  (4/1 +71%)Damascus Steel |
4/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Damascus Steel 4/1, 22/1, below form eighth of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) 12 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers back on. Tough to assess at present. Has run poorly in two starts this spring; has it to prove on his Polytrack debut. |
|||
2nd (3)  (17/2 +6%)Golden Dove |
17/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Golden Dove 17/2, C&D winner. 18/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 30 days ago, never nearer. Can get competitive if the race is run to suit. Shaped nicely on her return from ten months off a month ago; is one to consider. |
|||
3rd (1)  (11/2 +45%)Grigio |
11/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Grigio 11/2, Winner here in February. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 11/2) 48 days ago. Not discounted back down in grade/returned to this track. C&D winner off 2lb lower in February; should be happier back here but this is tougher. |
|||
4th (8)  (15/2 -25%)Night Bear |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Night Bear 15/2, Creditable third of 16 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 33 days ago. Well treated and definite claims if he can get across from a wide draw. Has found his level again, having missed a chunk of last year; holds each-way claims. |
|||
5th (11)  (22/1 -175%)Manila Mist |
22/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Manila Mist 22/1, Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 25 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again. More lately but often been inclined to pull hard and will want to settle upped from 1m2f. |
|||
6th (13)  (13/2 +54%)Imperial Cult |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Imperial Cult 13/2, Last of 10 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to soft, 9/2) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Maiden who's been turned over at 9-2 or shorter on five of his last seven runs; risky. |
|||
7th (10)  (80/1 -60%)Manor Park |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Manor Park 80/1, 125/1, first run since leaving Brian Barr when last of 5 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 43 days ago. Fair on the Flat, ran poorly on latest effort in this sphere. Others make more appeal. Best known as a hurdler; hard to know what he's capable of now. |
|||
8th (14)  (12/1 +40%)Alghazaal |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Alghazaal 12/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. 14/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW). Off 93 days. Others make more appeal. Infrequent winner; plenty of chances during the winter and returns from three months off. |
|||
9th (5)  (66/1 -450%)Master Grey |
66/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Master Grey 66/1, 8/1, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, good to firm), unsuited by way race developed. Off 11 months. Others more persuasive. Stays further and isn't easily recommended after the best part of a year off aged nine. |
|||
10th (7)  (3/1 -9%)Fictional |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fictional 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Evens, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) on return 13 days ago, slowly away. Hood on 1st time. Clearly thought to be ahead of this mark and worth taking a chance on. Short price for handicap debut, only to pull hard (hood on here); should do better. |
|||
11th (6)  (14/1 +22%)Sea Of Charm |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sea Of Charm 14/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 30 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Hard to win with; is adaptable regarding trip but others are stronger. |
|||
12th (2)  (40/1 -186%)Bluenose Belle |
40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bluenose Belle 40/1, Course winner. 18/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, heavy). Off 12 months. Something to prove. Not seen since eased and tailed off on soft ground a year ago; market useful. |
|||
13th (9)  (80/1 -142%)Campese |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Campese 80/1, 13/2 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f). Off 18 months. First run for yard after leaving Charlie & Mark Johnston. Hard to make a case for. New trainer 0-29 with Flat runners in recent seasons; would want to see good support. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A winner on her latest start over this C&D, GOLDEN DOVE caught the eye when keeping on late from off the pace over 1m2f at Lingfield last time and, with improvement expected, she may be primed to strike from an inside draw. On the other hand, Federated will have to do it from a wide berth if he is to follow up on his success at Newcastle last month. The unexposed Fictional and Manila Mist cannot be ruled out either.
FICTIONAL was heavily backed when fourth at Chelmsford on handicap debut and, now hooded, he should be more suited by a well-run race, so he gets the nod over recent winner Federated, who is also unexposed. Golden Dove is also a player in an open race.
The pair with fewest miles on the clock, Fictional and FEDERATED (nap), make most appeal, the latter edging it upped a fair 3lb.

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.
