---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (0.73/1 +27%) Bay Bridge |
0.73/1(+27%) | (2) Bay Bridge 0.73/1, Unbeaten at 3 yrs and developed into a high-class performer last term, ending the campaign with victory in the Champion Stakes at Ascot. Not quite at that level this season but this looks an excellent opportunity back down in class. Group 1 winner and favoured by race conditions but has never attempted this far before. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/1 -83%) Candleford |
11/1(-83%) | (4) Candleford 11/1, Duke of Edinburgh winner at Royal Ascot last summer and first win since when beating 5 rivals in listed event at Windsor 2 weeks ago. Place claims. C&D winner who landed a Windsor Listed event last time; cannot be dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (25/1 -56%) Max Vega |
25/1(-56%) | (5) Max Vega 25/1, Smart sort but just respectable efforts both starts in the spring and may find a few too sharp for him around here. Dual Group 3 winner last year, but off four months since a modest effort at Chester. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (50/1 -52%) Belloccio |
50/1(-52%) | (3) Belloccio 50/1, Smart gelding who has an excellent record here. However, below par both starts in the spring when last seen. 3-4 around here, but modest in both starts in April and off again since; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (16/1 +36%) Shandoz |
16/1(+36%) | (6) Shandoz 16/1, Smart performance to win C&D listed race in November 2021. Shaped as if retaining all his ability on first run since when 7½ lengths third of 7 to Arrest in Geoffrey Freer Stakes (12/1) at Newbury (13.3f, good) 21 days ago but up against it here. C&D winner who ran well on return from mammoth absence last time; has a bit to find though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Israr |
3.33/1(-11%) | (1) Israr 3.33/1, Progressed in handicaps last season, winning at Newbury and Doncaster, and has taken form to another level this term, resuming winning ways in Group 2 at Newmarket 8 weeks ago. However, is penalised for that success and conceding 5 lb to Bay Bridge looks a tough ask. Highly progressive; stable has won five of the last eight runnings; bred to handle AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (10/1 +0%) Fortino |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Fortino 10/1, Successful 8 times in Chile, 4 of them Grade 1s. Has since joined a top stable and interesting to see what the market makes of his chances. 8-11 in Chile including four wins at Group 1 level; stable debut after seven months off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Things may not have gone to plan this season for last year's Champion Stakes hero BAY BRIDGE, but this represents an ideal opportunity to get his career back on track. Receiving 5lb from impressive Group 2 winner Israr, the son of New Bay looks to have ideal conditions, as the top-rated in the field, and can notch up a seventh career victory. Candleford bounced back to form with a dominant success at Windsor and he could be ready to make that next step up.
An excellent opportunity for the high-class BAY BRIDGE to open his account for the season back down in class. Israr can follow him home under his Group 2 penalty, while his stablemate Fortino is an interesting runner on British debut given his success in Chile.
Preference is for ISRAR whose latest Newmarket win suggests he is still improving. The stable's record in this race is second to none.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (4.5/1 +44%) Helm Rock |
4.5/1(+44%) | (3) Helm Rock 4.5/1, 5/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 9 days ago. 8 lb higher now but warrants respect. 8lb higher than when winning at Newcastle eight days ago, but he won with real authority. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (3.5/1 -17%) Kathab |
3.5/1(-17%) | (7) Kathab 3.5/1, Progressive sort who found significant improvement when making a winning handicap bow at Haydock (8.2f) last month and backed that up with good third of 8 at Ripon (8f, good) 12 days ago, faring best of those held up. Makes polytrack debut. Leading player. Unexposed and in good form on turf lately but makes his AW debut in a competitive race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (5.5/1 +15%) Baltimore Boy |
5.5/1(+15%) | (9) Baltimore Boy 5.5/1, Posted best effort for some time, in first-time visor, when landing 12-runner handicap over C&D (11/1) 17 days ago by ½ length from First View. Remains fairly treated and must enter calculations. Visored first time when winning over C&D lately but may not confirm form with First View. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (16/1 +36%) Botas |
16/1(+36%) | (14) Botas 16/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (18/1) over C&D 24 days ago, all out. 2 lb rise fair and can make presence felt once more. Narrowly off the mark for this yard over C&D last month; runner-up has won since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (14/1 +58%) Fantastic Fox |
14/1(+58%) | (8) Fantastic Fox 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Blinkered for 1st time, 14 lengths eleventh of 13 to Kathab in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good, 14/1) 28 days ago. Others more appealing. No win in over two years; continues to slide down the weights but others more convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (80/1 -264%) Brains |
80/1(-264%) | (12) Brains 80/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in June. 28/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Ten-time AW winner, including four over this C&D, but will do well to dominate this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (100/1 -300%) Starshiba |
100/1(-300%) | (10) Starshiba 100/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in July. 4¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Baltimore Boy in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 17 days ago, slowly away. Work to do. Finished behind three of these over C&D 17 days ago so needs to put that effort behind him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (9/1 +36%) Two Tempting |
9/1(+36%) | (11) Two Tempting 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Creditable length fourth of 12 to Baltimore Boy in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 17 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Record over C&D reads 22142214; not far behind two of these last time; should run his race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (12/1 -9%) Rhythm N Rock |
12/1(-9%) | (4) Rhythm N Rock 12/1, C&D winner. Very good neck second of 13 to Two Tempting in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 65 days ago, conceding first run. This looks tougher, though. C&D winner and beaten a neck here last time, but has gone back up 3lb so needs a bit more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (4/1 -14%) First View |
4/1(-14%) | (5) First View 4/1, Three-time C&D winner who returned to form when ½-length second of 12 to Baltimore Boy in handicap at this course (8f) 17 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and holds solid claims. C&D record reads 11212, including winning this race last year off 2lb higher; fascinating. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (50/1 -52%) Keyser Soze |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Keyser Soze 50/1, C&D winner. 13/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm), unable to sustain effort. Off 100 days. Others preferred. Won over C&D in January, but held since; may have to give best to younger rivals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (33/1 -32%) Golden Sands |
33/1(-32%) | (13) Golden Sands 33/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Beverley in May. 8/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Not out of things. C&D winner who has run well on turf the last twice, but faces other front-runners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (25/1 -25%) Imperial Sands |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Imperial Sands 25/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Ninth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Ripon (8f, soft) 49 days ago. Must improve off this mark. Three of four wins have come over C&D, but on a stiff mark and faces other front-runners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (14/1 +0%) Bear Force One |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Bear Force One 14/1, Quirky sort. C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 13/2) 22 days ago, running on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. C&D winner just 2lb higher than when successful at Newbury in May; each-way claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The consistent KATHAB is fancied to offer another bold bid. William Haggas' runner was a denied a hat-trick when beaten over 1m at Ripon last time, and he can get his head in front off the same mark. Baltimore Boy ran on well to get up close home over C&D last time, but he's 1lb worse off with the reopposing First View who was just half a length behind in second. Saeed bin Suroor's charge rates as the biggest danger to the selection.
Sole 3-y-o KATHAB is going the right way and still looks on an appealing mark. He can register his third success. Baltimore Boy and First View fought out a finish here last month and are feared most.
The vote goes to FIRST VIEW (nap), 2lb lower than when winning this last year. His recent narrow defeat should have set him up nicely.

1st (1) (1.5/1 -9%) Persica |
1.5/1(-9%) | (1) Persica 1.5/1, Still green but landed a Salisbury novice at the second attempt last month. Tenth of 22 in sales race at York (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Significantly up in trip, which promises to suit. Bred to stay this far but this won't be easy under top weight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 +43%) Sahara Kitten |
4/1(+43%) | (4) Sahara Kitten 4/1, Knew more than on debut when successful at Epsom in July. Fifth of 8 in novice event at Epsom (7f, good to soft, 9/2) 37 days ago. Bounce back needed switched to a nursery. Won at Epsom in July but didn't get home there last time; needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Marefuori |
4.5/1(+0%) | (6) Marefuori 4.5/1, Upped his game when a close second of 4 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 3/1) 23 days ago. Makes nursery debut from a fair-looking mark. Only beaten a head at Wolverhampton last time; probably more needed on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (16/1 -14%) Persian Phoenix |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Persian Phoenix 16/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in June. 25/1, eighth of 9 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Isn't crying out for 1m. Wolverhampton Tapeta winner; hopes pinned on the return to AW bringing about a resurgence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 -71%) Quorate |
12/1(-71%) | (2) Quorate 12/1, 11½ lengths last of 8 to Les Pavots in Prix du Calvados (20/1) at Deauville (7f, soft) 21 days ago. This a more suitable assignment switched to a nursery. Bred to relish the step up in trip and is a half-sister to a Polytrack winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (5.5/1 -22%) Bits And Bobs |
5.5/1(-22%) | (3) Bits And Bobs 5.5/1, Debut winner at Leicester in June. Creditable third of 9 in novice event at Ripon (8f, good to soft, 11/2) 21 days ago, running on. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Won on debut and seemed to stay 1m when third at Ripon last time; stable/AW debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
QUORATE found life difficult in the Group 2 Prix du Calvados over 7f at Deauville last time and she is fancied to bounce back to form in these calmer waters. Charles Hills' charge is having her first run in nursery company and this opening mark of 78 doesn't appear out of reach. Persica has also shaped as if he may be able to put his best foot forward now debuting in a nursery and is fancied to give the selection the most to think about, while Marefuori completes the shortlist.
PERSICA wasn't seen to best effect in a sales race at York 16 days ago and with this trip likely to unlock more (dam won over this far abroad) he's just about the most persuasive option. Marefuori upped his game at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and is feared most at the foot of the weights.
Preference is for QUORATE who is a half-sister to a Polytrack winner and is bred to relish the longer trip.

1st (8) (2/1 +33%) Starlust |
2/1(+33%) | (8) Starlust 2/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 5 runs, the latest at Newbury in July. 7/2, good second of 16 in nursery at York (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, running on. Now upped in class but he's a key player nonetheless. The RPRs posted in his nursery defeats don't look out of place in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (11/1 -38%) Seven Questions |
11/1(-38%) | (7) Seven Questions 11/1, Useful gelding. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. 5/1, good 1½ lengths third of 6 to Task Force in listed race at Ripon (6f, good) 12 days ago, not clear run. Likely to be in the mix, provided he takes to this surface. Not well drawn but looks very progressive after a luckless run in a Listed race last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (1.38/1 +69%) Array |
1.38/1(+69%) | (1) Array 1.38/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 6-runner minor event at Newmarket (6f, good, 2/13) 21 days ago, easily. Looks a useful colt in the making and, still open to improvement, he's one to consider despite stepping up in class. Long odds-on winner at Newmarket but strong suspicion that there's more to come from him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (50/1 -25%) Who Said Go |
50/1(-25%) | (9) Who Said Go 50/1, Foaled March 30. $100,000 yearling, Street Sense colt. Dam unraced close relative of Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up Gale Force Ten. This is a very tough assignment for a debutant. Presumably held in some regard to be kicking off at this level but it's a huge ask. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (16/1 -33%) Hala Emaraaty |
16/1(-33%) | (6) Hala Emaraaty 16/1, Fairly useful colt. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 50/1, very good 5¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Lake Forest in Gimcrack Stakes at York (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Starting to look a shade exposed, though. AW debut. While he didn't run at all badly in the Gimcrack, others appeal more here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (40/1 -60%) Golden Trick |
40/1(-60%) | (4) Golden Trick 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs, the latest at Naas in August. Twelfth of 15 in minor event (15/2) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago and improvement needed on this AW debut. Disappointed last time but has a bit to find, even on the form of his win in Ireland. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (20/1 -67%) Asadna |
20/1(-67%) | (2) Asadna 20/1, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Ripon in May. 7 lengths last of 6 to Task Force in listed race at Ripon (6f, good, 4/1) 12 days ago. Needs to get back on track now switched to polytrack with first-time cheekpieces enlisted. Yard also saddles Hala Emaraaty. Cheekpieces need to help if he's to reverse Ripon placings with Seven Questions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (6/1 +50%) Government Call |
6/1(+50%) | (5) Government Call 6/1, Thrice-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Won 8-runner minor event at Ripon (6f, good, 13/8) 21 days ago. Appears to be getting better with experience and doesn't look out of place in this line-up. More needed for the hat-trick but clearly progressing and he's well drawn. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
A very open contest and the consistent STARLUST get the vote. The Fitri Hay-owned colt has been running well in nursery company of late, racking up a sequence of placed efforts, and he can go one better despite the rise in class. Eben Shaddad looked an exciting prospect for the powerful John and Thady Gosden yard when scoring easily on his racecourse debut over 6f at Newmarket, while Seven Questions also warrants respect.
While the bare form is probably nothing to get excited about, EBEN SHADDAD looked a pretty useful prospect when scoring in good style on debut at Newmarket and he can be expected to take this step up in class in his stride. Starlust and Seven Questions are both proving consistent and are feared most in that order of preference, while Array remains open to improvement and Government Call also needs a second look.
Last year's winner was classy enough to defy a wide stall and Dewhurst entry EBEN SHADDAD didn't half look good at Newmarket.

1st (7) (3.5/1 +50%) Circuit Breaker |
3.5/1(+50%) | (7) Circuit Breaker 3.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. Successful at Windsor in May. 10/3, last of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, soft) 56 days ago. Up in trip and, though it's still early days for this 3-y-o, he certainly needs to raise his game. Started career well and there were excuses last time on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/1 +8%) Captain Kane |
11/1(+8%) | (2) Captain Kane 11/1, Eight wins from 25 Flat runs. Latest win at Lingfield in July. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, soft, 8/1) 8 days ago. Each-way shout. Decent run last week on ground too soft; reliable as a rule and mark is okay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/1 +9%) World Without Love |
10/1(+9%) | (5) World Without Love 10/1, Latest win at Carlisle in June. 12/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Needs to find some improvement from somewhere. Dual 1m6f winner and her latest run at Wolverhampton can be upgraded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (8/1 -60%) Motazzen |
8/1(-60%) | (4) Motazzen 8/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good, 7/2) 15 days ago. Visor back on. Others are more persuasive on balance. Poor last time but running well otherwise this season and return of a visor may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (2.75/1 +54%) Mountain Road |
2.75/1(+54%) | (1) Mountain Road 2.75/1, 33/1, sixteenth of 19 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 70 days ago. Eased in class here and will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward. Did well at staying trips on the AW last year; yet to pick up where he left off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (18/1 -13%) Heathen |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Heathen 18/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 9/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip and likely to find one or two too good. Beaten a long way on his last three starts and is unraced beyond 1m4f; others safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (3.33/1 -21%) Brave Knight |
3.33/1(-21%) | (6) Brave Knight 3.33/1, 10/3 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Chester (15.9f, good to soft) 7 days ago, suited by increase in trip. 4 lb rise fair and bold show likely. Just held on at Chester having wound it up from the front; 4lb higher back on the AW (0-4). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (12/1 +40%) Enochdhu |
12/1(+40%) | (8) Enochdhu 12/1, Course winner. Latest win at Windsor in May. 12/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 21 days ago, faltering. Significantly up in trip and, chances are, he'll find a few of these too strong. Unproven over quite this far and wins nothing on his latest effort at Newbury. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FOX VISION has proved expensive to follow but he's taken to break his duck. Roger Varian's three-year-old produced an improved effort over this C&D last time out when staying on to get within a couple of lengths of Sea Stone, and that winner has since given the form a boost at Newmarket. Captain Kane hasn't been seen to best effect the last twice but won on his only previous 2m start on the all-weather and he enters the equation along with last week's Chester scorer Brave Knight.
While BRAVE KNIGHT clearly benefited from a soft lead when regaining the winning thread upped to this trip at Chester last weekend, there's a good chance that the same will happen here and, in any case, he looks capable of defying a 4 lb rise in the weights. Mountain Road has yet to shine this season but he looks dangerous now eased in class off a reduced mark. Fox Vision is third choice ahead of Captain Kane.
Roger Varian's FOX VISION is building a frustrating profile but he's not one to give up on just yet now kept to 2m.

1st (1) (11/1 -100%) Brasil Power |
11/1(-100%) | (1) Brasil Power 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Easy-to-back 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Chester (7f, good) 71 days ago. Visor on 1st time and has a wide draw to contend with. Not much has gone to plan since his win off this mark in May, but he might bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (3.5/1 -17%) Rich Rhythm |
3.5/1(-17%) | (7) Rich Rhythm 3.5/1, 7/2, shaped well when second of 11 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 74 days ago, done no favours in ending up a little isolated in the centre of the track late on. 2 lb higher here but back up in trip, he's expected to be bang there. Denied clear run when fourth over C&D in June and went close over 6f on turf next time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6.5/1 +35%) Granary Queen |
6.5/1(+35%) | (3) Granary Queen 6.5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, ran well when fifth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago, faring best of those held up. Consistent on AW and turf since the spring; probably won't be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (5/1 +44%) Strike |
5/1(+44%) | (8) Strike 5/1, Wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 15/2) 3 weeks ago, short of room inside final 1f. Back on the all-weather and fancied to go close. In good form on turf lately and this C&D suits but others look better handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (4/1 +53%) Satin Snake |
4/1(+53%) | (5) Satin Snake 4/1, 3-time C&D winner. Belatedly proved himself as good on turf as all-weather when second of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good, 20/1) 11 days ago, finishing well. Leading claims. Went close on turf recently and is sure to be suited by the return to this track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (25/1 -355%) Mighty Power |
25/1(-355%) | (2) Mighty Power 25/1, Produced his best turf effort in more than 2 years when second of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 12/1) 8 days ago. Back up in trip/on all-weather and not without each-way hope. Ran well off lower turf mark last week and now switches back to the AW on a workable mark. |

7th (12) (80/1 -60%) La Rav |
80/1(-60%) | (12) La Rav 80/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good, 40/1) 12 days ago, hanging left 2f out. Has a bit to prove all of a sudden. Placed over 1m here in February but not in same form since returning from a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (22/1 +0%) Got No Dollars |
22/1(+0%) | (13) Got No Dollars 22/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, excuses when ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago, trapped wide from worst of draw. Well berthed this time, so he could have a say in proceedings. Ran okay in small-field turf race two starts ago but not firing on all cylinders lately. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (8.5/1 +39%) Verona Star |
8.5/1(+39%) | (4) Verona Star 8.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago, leading until over 1f out. Makes polytrack debut. Tongue strap on 1st time. Safely held in three turf handicaps this summer but may fare better back on an AW surface. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (7.5/1 +46%) Dakota Power |
7.5/1(+46%) | (9) Dakota Power 7.5/1, Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. More needed. Dropped another 3lb since last month's respectable Lingfield fourth; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (20/1 -67%) Adela Of Champagne |
20/1(-67%) | (10) Adela Of Champagne 20/1, C&D winner in June. Easy-to-back 9/2, not in same form when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, reverting to looking awkward. Drawn wide and others make more appeal. Made all to open account over C&D in June; held since, though, and drawn wide today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (33/1 -106%) Blue Flame |
33/1(-106%) | (11) Blue Flame 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 100/1, last of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 3 weeks ago. Best watched. Last in two 6f turf races last month but 7f on the AW is much more his bag. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (20/1 -167%) Many A Year |
20/1(-167%) | (6) Many A Year 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1, improved again behind one who is also going the right way when second of 6 in maiden at Ffos Las (6f, soft) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Second twice over 6f on turf this summer; back up in trip for handicap/AW debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The lightly-raced RICH RHYTHM finished strongly to almost defy a poor draw over 6f at Newbury when last seen in June and, providing he's fully tuned up for this, he could take a lot of beating off a mark which remains exploitable. Many A Year has demonstrated a few quirks in his brief career to date but an opening mark of 74 looks on the lenient side, while Granary Queen has placed on no fewer than 11 occasions since last getting her head in front.
Plenty in with a shout but preference is for RICH RHYTHM, who bumped into one completing a 4-timer at Newbury back in June and Ralph Beckett's 4-y-o is fancied to go one better back up to 7f after a short break. Having been given a chance by the assessor, Satin Snake ran well when runner-up at Ripon recently, so he's put forward as the main danger, with Strike and Brasil Power another couple worth considering.
After a good effort in defeat on turf 11 days ago, SATIN SNAKE now returns to the scene of his three C&D wins during the winter.

1st (4) (11/1 +8%) Recuerdame |
11/1(+8%) | (4) Recuerdame 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in March. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 20/1), needing stronger gallop. Not discounted back from a break here off a reduced mark. Conditions no problem and capable at this level provided they don't crawl early. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3.33/1 -21%) Diamondsinthesand |
3.33/1(-21%) | (2) Diamondsinthesand 3.33/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 2/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Shortlist material. Exposed 16-race maiden; worth a crack at 1m and more likely to run his race than many. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (4/1 +0%) Cheese The One |
4/1(+0%) | (6) Cheese The One 4/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/2) 7 days ago. Enters calculations. 7f winner last month and also ran well last week; stamina for 1m the query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (2.25/1 +72%) Lunar Space |
2.25/1(+72%) | (1) Lunar Space 2.25/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, seventh of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Chance on old form but clearly needs to bounce back. Tumbled down weights without really looking like capitalising; risky despite drop in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (12/1 +64%) Angel De Luz |
12/1(+64%) | (10) Angel De Luz 12/1, Last of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and blinkers back on. May again prove vulnerable. Poor form in ten turf starts; switch to AW needs to have a dramatic effect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (9/1 -157%) Lady Chapel |
9/1(-157%) | (9) Lady Chapel 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 12 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 125/1) when last seen in June. Possible that she'll be seen in a better light now upped in trip for this handicap debut and one to note in the betting. Poor form over 6f but some promise on 2nd run; likely improver up to 1m now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (10/1 +17%) Star For A Day |
10/1(+17%) | (5) Star For A Day 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 39 days ago. Back down in trip after wind op and step forward needed. Needs improvement for the return to 1m/AW but it's not out of the question. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (50/1 +0%) Boasted |
50/1(+0%) | (8) Boasted 50/1, Seventh of 11 in minor event (66/1) at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 6 months and she looks up against it. Poor form for current stable; too much to prove for comfort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (18/1 +28%) Private Bryan |
18/1(+28%) | (7) Private Bryan 18/1, 18/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 26 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes. Placed for first time when a front-running 3rd at Ffos Las in July; opposable on balance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
CHEESE THE ONE has long shaped as though a step back up to a mile would suit and she gets that opportunity now, having failed to land the double over shorter at Wolverhampton last week. Diamondsinthesand may still be winless after 16 starts, but he has shown up well since joining new connections, while course winner Agapanther is another with the form to get involved.
None of these look especially solid and handicap debutante LADY CHAPEL is worth chancing. She hasn't shown a great deal in three starts over 6f but this stiffer test could be just what she needs. Diamondsinthesand is still searching for his first taste of success but, judged on recent evidence, he should buck that trend soon enough. Agapanther and Recuerdame are others to consider.
Recuerdame is dangerous at this level but LADY CHAPEL looks a likely improver now upped in trip for her handicap debut.

1st (4) (4/1 -78%) Flying Panther |
4/1(-78%) | (4) Flying Panther 4/1, Winner at Lingfield in July and back to a similar level when second of 13 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, just failing. Solid claims. Would probably have doubled his tally with a clear run over C&D 17 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (6/1 -50%) Golden Phase |
6/1(-50%) | (6) Golden Phase 6/1, Improved to get off the mark in 11-runner handicap at Bath (8f, good) 31 days ago, though was suited by the way the race developed. Not an obvious type to follow up. Dropped in from a bad draw at Bath last time but finished well to prevail by a length. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (2.25/1 +32%) Island Of Skye |
2.25/1(+32%) | (2) Island Of Skye 2.25/1, C&D winner who made an encouraging start for his new stable (after 4 months off) when third of 11 in 1m handicap at Salisbury (good, 15/2) 23 days ago. That form has been franked since and he's a leading player from the same mark. C&D winner; fared best of those held up when third on debut for this yard at Salisbury. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (6.5/1 +19%) Purple Poppy |
6.5/1(+19%) | (5) Purple Poppy 6.5/1, Winner at Lingfield in April. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at same track (7f, AW) 10 days ago. Player if bouncing back. In form until last time when drawn wide in a Class 5; better expected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/1 +18%) Damascus Finish |
9/1(+18%) | (3) Damascus Finish 9/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March and not disgraced when eighth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) on most recent outing in June. Visor back on. A winner this year but 1-28 overall and his record fresh is nothing to shout about. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (7.5/1 +6%) Andarax |
7.5/1(+6%) | (9) Andarax 7.5/1, Just poor form to date, sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago. Hood back on. Has joined another good yard; midfield finish over C&D last time was his best run yet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (6.5/1 +7%) Espresso Freddo |
6.5/1(+7%) | (1) Espresso Freddo 6.5/1, C&D winner who shaped with some encouragement on first run since leaving Robert Stephens when sixth of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Well handicapped on pick of form. Signed off for previous yard out of form and only midfield on recent debut for this one. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (100/1 -100%) Amal |
100/1(-100%) | (8) Amal 100/1, Fully exposed as poor and was well held in 1m handicap at Yarmouth (good) 59 days ago, very slowly away. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Sole win was over two years ago; all to prove in new cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (125/1 -89%) Brazen Insanity |
125/1(-89%) | (10) Brazen Insanity 125/1, No form in varied events. Significantly up in trip for polytrack debut. Poor form continued on handicap debut 19 days ago; has been sprinting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (66/1 -100%) Runner Bean |
66/1(-100%) | (7) Runner Bean 66/1, Little solid form in varied events so easy to look elsewhere. 12-race maiden who has yet to hit the frame and finished tailed off last week at Bath. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Denied by a very narrow margin over C&D last time out, FLYING PANTHER is taken to gain compensation on this occasion and he can make it two wins from his last four starts. Golden Phase got off the mark in fine style at Bath last month and she looks to be the selection's main danger, ahead of C&D winner Island Of Skye, who must be of interest on his second start for new connections.
ESPRESSO FREDDO is as low in the weights as he's been for some time and looks ready to take advantage having shaped with encouragement on his recent comeback/stable debut at Bath. Island of Skye is another who made a pleasing start setting out for a new yard at Salisbury last month and merits respect off the same mark, with Flying Panther also feared.
Flying Panther can go well but ISLAND OF SKYE also has good form here and his debut for Eve Johnson Houghton was encouraging.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
