1st (6)  (5/2 -100%)Symbol Of Strength |
5/2(-100%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Symbol Of Strength 5/2, Looked a useful prospect when winning at Ayr in July and ran a fine race upped in grade when ¾-length third of 10 to Cool Hoof Luke in Gimcrack Stakes at York (6f, good to firm, 80/1) 15 days ago. Major player. Appeared to run very well in the Gimcrack; good chance provided that form is backed up. |
|||
2nd (3)  (11/1 +0%)Jouncy |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jouncy 11/1, Strong at the finish when opening account at Goodwood in July. However, below form when 12¾ lengths seventh of 11 to The Lion In Winter in Acomb Stakes (18/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Not written off with visor applied. Chance of winning partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
|||
3rd (1)  (16/5 +51%)Brian |
16/5(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Brian 16/5, Made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts when landing 14-runner valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f, soft, 11/4) 2 weeks ago by 4¼ lengths from Li Ban, impressing with how he travelled through the race. Not taken lightly. Comfortable win in Newmarket sales race last time; generally progressive; possibilities. |
|||
4th (7)  (10/1 -11%)Vingegaard |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Vingegaard 10/1, Debut winner at Chepstow before shaping well next 2 starts, runner-up in Super Sprint at Newbury. Down the field in listed race at York (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 2 weeks ago, but step up in trip should suit switched to all-weather. May rebound, provided he takes well to this new scenario (upped to 6f; AW debut). |
|||
5th (9)  (28/1 -56%)Li Ban |
28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Li Ban 28/1, Off the mark at Thirsk in July and has run well both starts since, 4¼ lengths second of 14 to Brian in valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f, soft, 15/8) a fortnight ago. Improvement required making her all-weather bow. No match for Brian at Newmarket last time; difficult task on these terms. |
|||
6th (2)  (22/1 +0%)Havana Blast |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Havana Blast 22/1, In first-time tongue strap for all-weather debut, took a step forward when easily winning 7-runner nursery (5/2) at Chelmsford City (5f) a week ago. Upped in grade/trip but he could still have more to offer. Suited by the switch to AW last Saturday, winning a nursery; this is a stiffer task. |
|||
7th (10)  (66/1 -136%)Miss El Fundi |
66/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Miss El Fundi 66/1, Scored in good syle at this C&D in July, but wasn't able to repeat that effort when eighth of 12 in nursery (13/2) at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for as she goes up in grade. The only course winner in the field but she's bottom on ratings; headgear applied. |
|||
8th (8)  (15/2 -15%)It Ain't Two |
15/2(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) It Ain't Two 15/2, Has been kept busy this year, recording her third success from 9 starts when making all in 6-runner conditions stakes at Chester (6.1f, good to firm, 7/2) a week ago. Could make another bold bid on her all-weather debut. Tough filly who made all in Chester conditions race most recently; likely player. |
|||
9th (5)  (5/1 +17%)Principality |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Principality 5/1, Winner at Goodwood in June and left behind a lesser effort when 1½ lengths fourth of 9 to Yah Mo Be There in listed race at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 11/4) 50 days ago. More needed as he makes first start on all-weather. Creditable fourth in Newbury Listed contest last time; frame possibilities. |
|||
10th (4)  (50/1 -213%)Our Terms |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Our Terms 50/1, Confirmed debut promise when making all at Ascot in July, but still looked green when 19 lengths tenth of 11 to The Lion In Winter in Acomb Stakes at York (7f, good to firm, 66/1) 17 days ago. Has something to find. Sole attempt at 6f resulted in an Ascot win but this is a tougher assignment. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
SYMBOL OF STRENGTH has improved with each start to date and arrives here on the back of a close third in the Gimcrack at York. A reproduction of that level of form would give the son of Kodiac a big chance, given that this does not appear to be the strongest renewal of this contest. Principality could make the frame based on his fourth at Listed level at Newbury last time, while Brian and It Ain't Two are others to note.
SYMBOL OF STRENGTH has progressed with each of his 3 starts to date, faring best of those ridden prominently when third in the Gimcrack at York last time, so he looks to hold leading claims of resuming winning ways. Brian also showed much improved form when winning at Newmarket on his latest outing and could be the main danger, ahead of It Ain't Two.
Provided his Gimcrack form is confirmed, SYMBOL OF STRENGTH looks the likeliest winner. It Ain't Two is second choice.

1st (7)  (1/1 +67%)Kalpana |
1/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kalpana 1/1, Having been unraced at 2 yrs, made it 3 wins from 6 starts this year with a ready success in 5-runner listed race at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm, 5/6) 50 days ago by 4½ lengths from God's Window. Capable of better still as she goes back up in trip. Comfortably beating God's Window in 1m3f Listed race at Hamilton gives her a major chance. |
|||
2nd (3)  (5/2 0%)Lion's Pride |
5/2(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lion's Pride 5/2, Successful twice here last year, including C&D listed race in November. Unable to sustain effort when 4¾ lengths last of 5 to Al Aasy in Glorious Stakes at Goodwood (12f, good to firm, 4/1) 35 days ago, but he's one to note returned to all-weather. The big plus is that he comfortably won a four-runner C&D Listed race last November. |
|||
3rd (5)  (20/1 0%)God's Window |
20/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) God's Window 20/1, Back down in grade with cheekpieces on for first time, returned to form when 4½ lengths second of 5 to the reopposing Kalpana in listed race at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm, 13/2) 50 days ago. Has work to do at this level. Something to find with Kalpana after Hamilton Listed race last time; makes AW debut. |
|||
4th (4)  (33/1 +18%)Onesmoothoperator |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Onesmoothoperator 33/1, Landed second major handicap at Newcastle when winning the Northumberland Plate in June. Ran well when seventh of 20 in Ebor at York (13.8f, good to firm, 33/1) 2 weeks ago, though faces a difficult ask in this contest. Two big handicap wins on Newcastle AW but none of his form suggests he can take this. |
|||
5th (1)  (7/2 -75%)Hamish |
7/2(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hamish 7/2, Completed 5-timer at Newbury on return, before a fine second in Coronation Cup at Epsom. Rare below-par effort when fourth of 6 in Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket (12f, good to soft, 11/10) 58 days ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back. This race in 2021 was the first of eight Group 3 wins; a very rare disappointment latest. |
|||
6th (2)  (28/1 -180%)Cemhaan |
28/1(-180%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cemhaan 28/1, Better than ever when winning handicap here (11f) in April. Creditable third in Group 3 at Newbury next time, before doing too much too soon in Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, good to firm, 28/1) 81 days ago. Step back up in trip should suit. Off since Royal Ascot; he'd have a say if back to the form of handicap win here in April. |
|||
7th (6)  (80/1 -60%)Under The Sun |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Under The Sun 80/1, Was seen to advantage when fifth of 8 in Classic Trial at Sandown in April. However, shaped as if amiss when tailed off in Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, firm 40/1) 65 days ago. Gelded since and hood on first time. Needs big improvement; gelded, upped in trip and has a first-time hood. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
HAMISH put in a very rare poor performance when well beaten into fourth at Newmarket, but that followed a top-class effort when second in the Coronation Cup at Epsom. With that in mind, the eight-year-old can be given another chance as he bids to repeat his 2021 victory in this contest. Kalpana has proven to be consistent throughout this season and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Lion's Pride edges out Cemhaan to be best of the rest.
LION'S PRIDE has won 2 of his 3 starts at this course, with the form of all 3 races proving to be strong, so he is taken to bounce back to form and provide his yard with a fifth success in the September Stakes from the last 7 renewals. The 4-y-o can see off the challenge of Hamish, who landed this contest in 2021, with Kalpana completing the shortlist.
The redoubtable Hamish is second choice but it may prove best to side with the improving 3yo filly KALPANA.

1st (9)  (11/1 -47%)Whitcombe Rockstar |
11/1(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Whitcombe Rockstar 11/1, Thrived on all weather this year, gaining a third C&D victory in July and continued good work back on turf, winning 8-runner handicap at Sandown (1m, good) 43 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Nudged up just 2 lb but likely to need his share of luck pitched in 14. Three C&D wins in 2024; went in again at Sandown latest; drawn wide but can't be ruled out. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/2 +66%)Vultar |
11/2(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Vultar 11/2, Upped his game sent handicapping on AW, scoring twice here (7f/1m) and finding further improvement when second over C&D in April. Progress stalled on turf thereafter and he needs to be sharper for his midfield effort at Southwell 9 days ago. Useful C&D form in spring; decent return from break at Southwell last week; not out of it. |
|||
3rd (11)  (80/1 -186%)Hieronymus |
80/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Hieronymus 80/1, 4-time course winner who was runner-up in this 3 years ago and he resumed winning ways over C&D in February. Doesn't come here in the same form though, well held in handful of turf starts before finishing eighth of 9 in handicap over 7f here 18 days ago. Others stronger. Four course wins but no obvious promise back on AW here last time. |
|||
4th (14)  (13/2 +24%)Valkyrian |
13/2(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Valkyrian 13/2, Improving filly, registering third victory of 2024 at Chepstow (1m) prior to a creditable second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 5/1) 3 days ago, well positioned. Entitled to go well again from unchanged mark. In first two on last seven starts; this comes soon after Wednesday's 2nd at Southwell. |
|||
5th (8)  (9/1 +0%)Longlai |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Longlai 9/1, Lightly raced but building up a good strike rate for this yard, dead heating over C&D in June and well ridden when following up narrowly at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 37 days ago. Handicapper applies a little more pressure but another holding each-way claims. Form of last two wins is solid and he should go well in the hat-trick bid. |
|||
6th (10)  (14/1 0%)Ebt's Guard |
14/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ebt's Guard 14/1, Thirsk maiden scorer who produced a trio of solid efforts in defeat in handicaps, thereafter notably when runner-up at Glorious Goodwood (1m) in August. Easy to forgive his latest York run and he remains unexposed on all-weather. Interesting. 1-14 but has run well in turf handicaps this summer; latest York run disappointing, though. |
|||
7th (13)  (18/1 -125%)Rhythm N Rock |
18/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Rhythm N Rock 18/1, Losing run stretches back to 2022 but he returned from an absence in good order earlier this year, second of 12 in a C&D handicap in May. Absent since but significant if the market spoke in his favour and he's a handy draw to work from. Good C&D form earlier in the year but has yet to win a handicap; off for 108 days. |
|||
8th (12)  (16/1 -33%)Helm Rock |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Helm Rock 16/1, Useful performances when winning twice at this time last year, including this race from 8 lb higher. Proved more miss than hit in handful of starts since returning from a break in June though, and another operating from a less-than-ideal draw. Won this off 8lb higher last year but doesn't obviously arrive in the same form this time. |
|||
9th (5)  (40/1 -150%)Top Secret |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Top Secret 40/1, Dual C&D winner, the latest in December. Failed to scale same heights in trio of quick runs thereafter earlier this year but his mark has eased a little as a result and his record fresh is a positive one, so no surprise to see a better showing after 6 months off. Three wins here but out of sorts in all three outings here at the start of 2024. |
|||
10th (1)  (12/1 +0%)Talis Evolvere |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Talis Evolvere 12/1, C&D winner in January who landed a valuable AW handicap on Final's Day at Newcastle (1m) in March. Hard to knock his consistency in host of valuable turf handicaps subsequently and he's very much the type to give him running again. Respectable efforts on turf recently and has a fine AW record; each-way shout. |
|||
11th (4)  (33/1 -230%)Borgi |
33/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Borgi 33/1, Took his form up a notch on all-weather this year, career best under this rider when winning 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m) 42 days ago, overcoming pace bias in the process. Respected up 3 lb. Good AW record but all five wins on Tapeta, the latest at Newcastle six weeks ago; up 3lb. |
|||
12th (6)  (22/1 +33%)Greatgadian |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Greatgadian 22/1, Landed an 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m) last October and placed 3 times from higher mark on AW earlier this year. Down the field in pair of turf handicaps more recently and whilst this rates more suitable, his draw could have been kinder. Not at his best on turf last twice but his mark has edged down and he's better on AW. |
|||
13th (7)  (9/4 +36%)Kilt |
9/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kilt 9/4, Son of Kingman who opened his account at Newmarket in May and far from disgraced when midfield in a hot novice back there a month later. Gelded, resumed progress when second of 9 on handicap debut at Haydock (1m) in August and he merits serious consideration taking on his elders for the first time. Progressive for top yard and it's likely there is more to come after only four starts. |
|||
14th (3)  (28/1 -40%)Court Of Session |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Court Of Session 28/1, Responded well to fitting of cheekpieces last year, narrowly landing 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford (1m) in December. Respectable efforts at Kempton/Lingfield earlier this year and whilst he's well drawn here back from a break, his mark does look about right. Off since a creditable fourth at Lingfield in March; needs to return with career best. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Talis Evolvere carries plenty of weight but has faced some tough tasks in recent months and should not be underestimated in this company. Preference is still for the unexposed KILT, who caught the eye when staying on into second over a mile at Haydock a month ago. A 5lb rise for that effort is a concern, but the well-bred son of Kingman may have further improvement left to come. Cases can be made for most of the remainder, but Rhythm N Rock and Longlai are the pick of them.
William Haggas' KILT comes here easily the least exposed boasting some strong 3-y-o form to his name and, having posted his best effort yet when second at Haydock 4 weeks ago, he makes plenty of appeal taking on his elders for the first time from a good draw. Fellow 3-y-o Ebt's Guard, whose latest York run is easily excused, is another to consider. Thriving pair Valkyrian and Borgi complete the shortlist.
He lacks experience but if there's one here who could be well ahead of its mark it is KILT (nap). Longlai may give him most to do.

1st (3)  (9/4 +10%)Fearless Freddy |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fearless Freddy 9/4, Winner at Leicester in June. 9/2, fifth of 16 in nursery at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 37 days ago, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests, no extra late on. This is easier up in trip and he can go well if taking to AW. Ran a sound race at Goodwood on nursery debut; 1m should suit; not fully exposed. |
|||
2nd (1)  (13/8 +75%)Tilted Kilt |
13/8(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tilted Kilt 13/8, Knew what was required and made perfect start in 14-runner 7f maiden here in June. Tenth of 11 in minor event (13/1) at Deauville (6.5f, good) 23 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut back on AW. First two runs offer hope he's been let into nurseries lightly; new trip should suit well. |
|||
3rd (7)  (10/1 -82%)Cristo |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cristo 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 13 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 50/1) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Could do better as he gets to grips with racing. Promise over 7f twice last month; 1m should suit and he's open to plenty of improvement. |
|||
4th (4)  (5/1 -43%)Chesneys Charm |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chesneys Charm 5/1, Further improvement when winning 9-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/2) 18 days ago by short head from Patsy Snugfit. Up 4 lb but good chance in hat-trick bid. Chasing AW hat-trick after 7f wins at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton; new trip should suit. |
|||
5th (6)  (9/1 -64%)Patsy Snugfit |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Patsy Snugfit 9/1, Very good short-head second of 9 to Chesneys Charm in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 16/1) 18 days ago, well placed and headed dying strides. Makes polytrack debut up in trip. One to consider. Collared late by Chesneys Charm at Wolverhampton latest; not sure to reverse placings. |
|||
6th (2)  (12/1 -85%)Toy Soldier |
12/1(-85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Toy Soldier 12/1, Winner at Musselburgh in August. 4/1, second of 4 in novice at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy) 24 days ago, clear of rest. Makes polytrack debut. Makes handicap debut. Improving with experience; a literal interpretation of latest 2nd gives him sound claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Chesneys Charm proved up to his opening mark of 73 when denying Patsy Snugfit by a short head over 7f at Wolverhampton last month and he holds an obvious chance off 4lb higher. However, FOUETTE gets the nod. James Horton's juvenile can be forgiven her below-par effort at Yarmouth because she was too free and she may be up to the task on her nursery debut. Toy Soldier is another to consider.
FEARLESS FREDDY shaped better than the result in a competitive Glorious Goodwood nursery 5 weeks ago and can go well if taking to the polytrack. Wolverhampton 1-2 Chesneys Charm and Patsy Snugfit are dangerous.
Fearless Freddy and Cristo can win races off their mark but TILTED KILT's first two runs make him of serious interest.

7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Drama 7/1, C&D winner in June. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 53 days ago. Must improve. C&D win in June off 4lb lower; caught wide here last time but others look better treated. |
|||
2nd (10)  (11/4 +0%)Heathcliff |
11/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Heathcliff 11/4, Has taken off since handicapping, improving again when winning 14-runner event at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. One to follow and leading claims for in-form yard. 3-4 since handicapping and a 3lb rise for last time looks fine; yet to reach his ceiling. |
|||
3rd (12)  (10/1 -11%)Habooba |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Habooba 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. Very good second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 11/1) 9 days ago. Career-high mark but could go well again. Thriving of late and latest Southwell 2nd can be upgraded; C&D winner; greatly respected. |
|||
4th (8)  (10/1 +9%)Intervention |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Intervention 10/1, Losing run is mounting up but back to form when third of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Usually goes well here. Reliable on AW and handicapped to make another bold bid; each-way shout. |
|||
5th (1)  (9/4 +50%)Ferrous |
9/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ferrous 9/4, Has taken his form up a level this term, going in at Wolverhampton and Kempton. Tenth of 14 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm, 15/2) 42 days ago, worst of draw. Not taken lightly back on AW. Big chance on spring AW form; had an excuse at York last time; one to be interested in. |

6th (5)  (22/1 -120%)Radio Goo Goo |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Radio Goo Goo 22/1, Latest win at Chester in June. Eighth of 17 in Great St Wilfrid (9/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago, doing too much too soon. Ran well behind Al Barez only other visit here and can make presence felt. Front-runner; effective over C&D but it won't be easy trying to dominate this field. |
|||
7th (3)  (18/1 +18%)Azure Angel |
18/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Azure Angel 18/1, C&D winner. Off 4 months and had breathing op, 18/1, last of 14 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago, folding. Tough to assess at present. Gone off the boil since a Newcastle win in February; drawn widest; others are stronger. |
|||
8th (9)  (66/1 -267%)Tyger Bay |
66/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tyger Bay 66/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in April. 40/1, 3½ lengths ninth of 14 to Heathcliff in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Conditions to suit and latest Newcastle run (after a break) wasn't without hope. |
|||
9th (4)  (12/1 -60%)Al Barez |
12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Al Barez 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in April. 12/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 37 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces on 1st time. C&D winner; on a fair mark if the addition of cheekpieces has the desired effect. |
|||
10th (6)  (18/1 -29%)Batal Dubai |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Batal Dubai 18/1, Signed off 2023 with victory at Chelmsford (6f) in October. Has rather lost his form, seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 11/1) 70 days ago. Back from a break. Big chance on 2024 AW best but he's gone quiet more recently; drawn wide; vulnerable. |
|||
11th (2)  (22/1 -57%)Desert Cop |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Desert Cop 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newmarket in May. 16/1, respectable twelfth of 22 in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Won at Newmarket off this mark in May; C&D winner; talented but there are risks attached. |
|||
12th (7)  (33/1 -65%)Bulldog Drummond |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bulldog Drummond 33/1, C&D winner. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (16/1) at Newmarket (6f, soft) 14 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. This is tougher. Off the mark for new yard, coming from off the pace at Newmarket; this is tougher up 6lb. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The hat-trick seeking Heathcliff showed his versatility when taking a drop in trip to score at Newcastle and is a two-time course winner to take very seriously. However, INTERVENTION finished a close-up third at Windsor last month and goes off the same mark. From his handy draw and back on his beloved all-weather, he could regain the winning thread. Last-time-out Newmarket winner Bulldog Drummond is another to watch out for.
HEATHCLIFF can scale greater heights and can notch up a fourth win from 5 starts in AW handicaps. Radio Goo Goo, Habooba and Intervention are other key players.
Habooba is on the up and should go well but it's highly unlikely HEATHCLIFF has reached the ceiling of his ability just yet.

1st (7)  (9/2 -100%)Assail |
9/2(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Assail 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 4/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Ascot (12f, good) 43 days ago. Open to progress so big shout despite a 7 lb rise. Won well at Ascot last time and looks capable of further progress; major player. |
|||
2nd (10)  (9/2 +18%)Night Breeze |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Night Breeze 9/2, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Windsor in August. 9/2, good third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 16 days ago. Needs considering. Ran well at Newcastle in bid for four-timer; remains in form; solid chance. |
|||
2nd (2)  (10/3 +67%)Wonder Legend |
10/3(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wonder Legend 10/3, 9/2 and hooded/tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, soft). Off 126 days. Up in trip so enters calculations. Never figured in sole run this term but still lightly raced and remains of interest. |
|||
4th (8)  (16/1 -60%)Juana Ines |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Juana Ines 16/1, Off 8 months before coming in last of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good) 106 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Handily weighted if back on song. Had a respiratory issue in sole start this season; tongue-tie looks a plus. |
|||
5th (5)  (14/1 +0%)Simply Sondheim |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Simply Sondheim 14/1, Course winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Goodwood (9f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Must improve. Productive for previous yard; 0-6 for current stable; others preferred. |
|||
6th (9)  (66/1 -313%)Sanitiser |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sanitiser 66/1, 100/1, fair fifth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Possibilities off an easing mark. On a two-year losing spell and takes on some unexposed types. |
|||
7th (3)  (33/1 -106%)Pivotal Trigger |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pivotal Trigger 33/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, sole run for John & Thady Gosden when last of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to soft, 25/1). Others appeal more. Absent since last October; makes debut for new yard; market helpful. |
|||
8th (4)  (11/4 -10%)Enrico Caruso |
11/4(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Enrico Caruso 11/4, Lightly-raced son of Roaring Lion who posted a career best when readily winning 7-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Hiked up 9lb higher but big shout with more to come over this longer trip. Form of Sandown win looks strong; acts on AW and should improve further; respected. |
|||
9th (6)  (33/1 -230%)Haku |
33/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Haku 33/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Ascot (12f, good to firm). Off 119 days with more needed. Absent since May; still on career-high mark and has never won when fresh. |
|||
10th (1)  (12/1 +25%)Box To Box |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Box To Box 12/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 13 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive. Chester specialist; something to prove off this mark back on AW (third attempt). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
ENRICO CARUSO did it well when scoring comfortably on his handicap debut at Sandown in July and the runner-up, who came into the race on a four-timer, has franked the form since by going unbeaten. The Gosdens' four-year-old shaped as though stepping up in trip would suit and he gets that opportunity now, with impressive Ascot winner Assail looking best placed to chase him home. A highly progressive sort over the summer, Night Breeze is entitled to have a say in proceedings as well.
The Gosdens' lightly-raced ENRICO CARUSO arrives on the up so is fancied to make light of a 9 lb weight hike and follow up his comfortable Sandown victory. Ascot scorer Assail also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list, with Sanitiser and Juana Ines others to consider in this intriguing handicap.
Gosden runner ENRICO CARUSO could well defy a 9lb rise for his solid Sandown win. Assail is feared most.

1st (3)  (5/2 +38%)Coco Royale |
5/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Coco Royale 5/2, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Sandown in June. 2/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (14.2f, good) 56 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Expected to be bang there. Did too much up front last time; progressive otherwise in handicaps, winning twice. |
|||
2nd (8)  (14/1 +13%)Cinnodin |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cinnodin 14/1, C&D winner. 15/2, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 9 days ago. Claims on best form. Successful off this mark over C&D in April; good chance if that form is repeated. |
|||
3rd (12)  (7/1 -133%)Almudena |
7/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Almudena 7/1, Won back-to-back staying handicaps at Sandown/Nottingham and improved again when close second of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 9/2) 16 days ago. Likely contender. Close second at Newcastle in hat-trick attempt; remains in great form; big player. |
|||
4th (5)  (28/1 -100%)Lady Percival |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lady Percival 28/1, 14/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (14f, soft) 14 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Beaten long way at Goodwood on belated reappearance; best watched. |
|||
5th (4)  (14/1 -115%)Duke Of Verona |
14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Duke Of Verona 14/1, Dropped to a handy mark and has performed creditably the last twice, latest when close second of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Goodwood (16f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Respected. Went close at Goodwood two weeks ago on only his second attempt over 2m; solid claims. |
|||
6th (7)  (22/1 -57%)Super Superjack |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Super Superjack 22/1, 8/1, bit below form tenth of 18 in handicap at Goodwood (20.4f, firm) 36 days ago. Back down in trip. Not taken lightly. Not particularly solid judged on his form for new stable; yet to win on AW. |
|||
7th (11)  (66/1 -230%)Western Stars |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Western Stars 66/1, Latest win at Newbury in July. Sixth of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 7 days ago, inadequate test. Significantly back up in trip. Makes limited appeal. Won on AW last December but not in the same form since returning to this sphere. |
|||
8th (9)  (66/1 -230%)Saligo Bay |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Saligo Bay 66/1, Yet to score this term and arrives on back of disappointing tenth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (14.2f, good, 16/1) 56 days ago. Others preferred. Flat/hurdles winner; well beaten here on sole AW attempt; bit to prove. |
|||
9th (1)  (33/1 -32%)Golden Flame |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Golden Flame 33/1, First run since leaving Charlie & Mark Johnston when fourteenth of 20 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 100/1) 70 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Deborah Faulkner. Likely best watched. Well held in the Northumberland Plate ten weeks ago on debut for the Faulkner yard. |
|||
10th (2)  (17/2 -6%)Tenerife Sunshine |
17/2(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tenerife Sunshine 17/2, Course winner. Latest win at Goodwood in June. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good to soft, 6/1) 13 days ago. Each-way claims. Won at Goodwood in June; ties in with Duke Of Verona on latest effort; acts on AW. |
|||
11th (6)  (14/1 -75%)Banderas |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Banderas 14/1, Ran up to best when third over C&D in July and backed that up with creditable fifth of 13 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 16 days ago. Respected. Two encouraging efforts since upped to 2m; unexposed at the trip; interesting. |
|||
12th (13)  (11/4 +63%)Rakki |
11/4(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Rakki 11/4, Still looking for first success but got back on track when nose second of 6 to Almudena in handicap at Sandown (14f, good to firm) 38 days ago and remains feasibly treated. Beaten only a whisker by Almudena last time; now gets 10lb pull with that rival. |
|||
13th (10)  (9/1 +10%)Abraaj |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Abraaj 9/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win here in June. 12/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 16 days ago. Not out of things. Record of 231314124 in 2m contests on AW; last visit to Kempton resulted in a win. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A tad unlucky in her bid for the hat-trick when carried right towards the finish at Newcastle, ALMUDENA remains a progressive stayer and can resume winning ways. Duke Of Verona bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Goodwood and he is a key player, as is Coco Royale, who was an impressive winner on her return at Sandown but disappointed slightly at Ascot subsequently. Rakki and Tenerife Sunshine cannot be ruled out either.
ALMUDENA continues to progress and gets the nod in an open-looking finale. Coco Royale and Duke of Verona head the list of dangers.
Armed with a 10lb pull, RAKKI could well reverse Sandown placings with Almudena who is nevertheless respected.

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.
