(9)  (13/8 +54%)Kitty Furnival |
13/8(+54%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kitty Furnival 13/8, Fairly useful when placed twice at the start of the summer, latterly over C&D. Something possibly amiss when gambled on and a well-held fourth at Carlisle at the start of July as she hasn't been seen since. Capable of bouncing back. Sets the standard on peak effort but was disappointing at Carlisle latest; mixed messages. |
|||
(11)  (3/1 -33%)Sea Journey |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sea Journey 3/1, Sea The Stars filly who stepped up on last autumn's Newmarket debut when narrowly denied over 1¼m at Lingfield (AW) on last month's reappearance. Should have more to offer and part of a strong hand in this for her top stable. Went close at Lingfield on return and is open to more progress upped to 1m3f; shortlisted. |
|||
(6)  (7/2 -40%)Faifa |
7/2(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Faifa 7/2, Promising type. 18/1, third of 7 in novice at Doncaster (1½m, good to firm) 69 days ago. Could have more to come and leading claims under Oisin Murphy. Improved third at Doncaster and that form puts her firmly in the picture; respected. |
|||
(8)  (8/1 +0%)Jane Temple |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jane Temple 8/1, Siyouni filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 1m-1¼m winner Peter The Great and useful French 2-y-o 6f winner Sicilia. Good pedigree and interesting to see how she compares to her stablemates. Half-sister to five winners and she needs watching in market on debut; yard runs three. |
|||
(14)  (12/1 +0%)Volakes |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Volakes 12/1, 100,000 gns Nathaniel filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m winner Anapurna. Tom Marquand is on the yard's other runner but it'll still be interesting to see what the betting makes of her. Very well-bred filly who cost 100,000gns as a yearling; needs close look on debut. |
|||
(2)  (16/1 -14%)Naomhi |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Naomhi 16/1, Travelled well for a long way in AW bumper on debut and offered something to work on switched to the Flat here 6 months later, finishing 5 lengths fifth of 9. Back in trip and may do better. Showed some ability here in August but she's probably more of a handicap prospect. |
|||
(10)  (25/1 -213%)Nowhere |
25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Nowhere 25/1, Thrice-raced filly. Fair form when second of 8 in novice at this course (1½m) 28 days ago. A bit more will be needed. Runner-up here in two of her three runs but she needs improvement dropped in trip. |
|||
(4)  (33/1 -200%)Dramatic Quest |
33/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dramatic Quest 33/1, Bred in the purple and has shown fair form on both starts, latterly fourth of 8 over 1½m here. May do better again. RPRs in 60s in both runs this season and she needs major improvement back in trip. |
|||
(7)  (100/1 -100%)Fleeting Moment |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fleeting Moment 100/1, 28/1, fifth of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (1¼m, good) on debut 56 days ago. Made a low-key start at Yarmouth in August and can only be watched after that 17l defeat. |
|||
(12)  (125/1 -279%)Shady Bay |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Shady Bay 125/1, Twice-raced filly. Stepped up on her debut when third of 6 in novice at Nottingham (1¼m, good to soft) in July but the form is little better than modest. Third at Nottingham in July but she needs another big step forward here. |
|||
(1)  (150/1 -50%)Lady Caro |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lady Caro 150/1, Modest in bumpers and over hurdles. Likely outsider on belated Flat debut. 0-9 in bumpers/hurdles and can only be watched on her Flat debut. |
|||
(13)  (200/1 -100%)Specifically |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Specifically 200/1, 50/1, last of 5 in maiden at Lingfield (1½m, AW) on debut 22 days ago. Tailed off on her Lingfield debut last month and tongue-tie is now added. |
|||
(3)  (200/1 -33%)Aughnagomaun |
200/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Aughnagomaun 200/1, More one for handicaps after this judged on her 2 efforts in recent months. Well held at massive prices in two runs (9.4f/1m2f) this season, with a best RPR of 46. |
|||
(5)  (200/1 -300%)Equuleus Star |
200/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Equuleus Star 200/1, Fair form when third on fast-ground Windsor debut in July. Possibly unsuited by a softer surface when well held at Goodwood 4 weeks later. Showed promise at Windsor but was tailed off at Goodwood next time; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The Gosdens boast a strong hand with their trio, and Sea Journey, a narrow second at Doncaster on her reappearance last month is perhaps the best of those. Kitty Furnival has been given some time off following a below-par run at Catterick. She sets the standard on official ratings though and must be respected, but preference is afforded to SHADY BAY. Tom Ward's filly kept on well over 1m2f at Nottingham in July and, with a step up in trip likely to suit, she can find the necessary improvement.
The Gosden stable looks to hold the key to this race, with FAIFA, the mount of Oisin Murphy, narrowly preferred to Lingfield runner-up Sea Journey. Kitty Furnival should also figure if recapturing the form she showed when placed over C&D in June. The third Gosden runner Jane Temple, a well-bred newcomer, also needs a betting check.
The Gosdens have three interesting contenders and their recent Lingfield runner-up SEA JOURNEY gets the vote on her step up to 1m3f.

(1)  (5/4 +29%)West Acre |
5/4(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) West Acre 5/4, Promising type. 6/5, won 7-runner novice at Newcastle (5f) on debut 29 days ago, readily. Useful prospect. Well backed when winning at Newcastle last month (5f); penalised but he looks promising. |
|||
(3)  (5/2 +44%)Gallant |
5/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gallant 5/2, Hooded, fifth of 12 in novice (4/1) at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) on debut 49 days ago. Hood off, tongue tie on. Likely to improve for leading connections. Debut effort not without promise; hood off and tongue-tie on; open to improvement. |
|||
(7)  (4/1 -45%)Nahi |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Nahi 4/1, 12/1, fourth of 12 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good) on debut in June. It's taken a bit of time to get him back to the track but it was a promising first run and he should have more to offer. Promising debut 4th (5f) came in a race that has worked out well; open to lots of progress. |
|||
(8)  (15/2 +38%)Newlyn School |
15/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Newlyn School 15/2, From a top yard but little better than modest form in 2 outings on turf 11 weeks apart. Blinkers worn last time are quickly discarded. Took a backward step on 2nd start but perhaps the ground was too slow; blinkers off here. |
|||
(5)  (22/1 -83%)Kosometsuke |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kosometsuke 22/1, 14/1, sixth of 10 in novice at Ascot (6f, good to soft) on debut 26 days ago. May do better. Couldn't land a blow in a 6f novice at Ascot last month; more to come but it is needed. |
|||
(10)  (33/1 -65%)Panama Black |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Panama Black 33/1, 40/1, eighth of 13 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot in a short time. Dropped away having shown early pace at Newbury 12 days ago; can do better but he needs to. |
|||
(4)  (33/1 -18%)Just Romeo |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Just Romeo 33/1, 33/1, tenth of 11 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) on debut 33 days ago, never involved after missing the break. Never a threat when 33-1 for his debut at Salisbury in August; not easily recommended. |
|||
(11)  (50/1 -100%)So Darn Hot |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) So Darn Hot 50/1, 12/1, 7½ lengths seventh of 8 to An Outlaw's Grace in novice at Salisbury (6f, good) on debut in June. Off since (gelded/had breathing operation). Green when unplaced on his Salisbury debut in June (6f); gelding and wind ops since. |
|||
(9)  (80/1 -142%)Packetofbiscuits |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Packetofbiscuits 80/1, 40,000 gns Showcasing gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 7f Hector Loza and 1½m-1¾m winner Dame Sarra. Dam unraced out of useful winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner) Grace O'Malley. The betting should guide to expectations. 40,000gns half-brother to two winners; likely one for the longer term. |
|||
(12)  (100/1 -525%)Manara |
100/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Manara 100/1, 80,000 gns Camelot half-sister to a winner abroad by Sea The Stars. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Maxi Boy. One to note in the betting on debut. 80,000gns half-sister to a winner in Saudi Arabia; only filly in the field; yard run two. |
|||
(2)  (100/1 -300%)Blue Seeker |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blue Seeker 100/1, 10/1, eighth of 9 in novice at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 18 days ago. In good hands but can only be watched this time. Shaped with more promise than the bare result on debut; perhaps a longer-term prospect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Nahi contested a useful maiden at Nottingham on his debut in June and the son of Blue Point looks set to go well following an absence, while Newcastle scorer West Acre should not be underestimated despite the 7lb penalty. However, the vote goes to GALLANT. Andrew Balding's charge made a pleasing racecourse debut, a race which has since worked out well. This surface should hold no fears and he can go in at the second time of asking. Others to note include Kosometsuke and Manara.
WEST ACRE looked good on his Newcastle debut and is up to defying a penalty for George Scott. Nahi and Gallant both displayed promise on debut and can give the selection most to think about.
West Acre can go well despite his penalty but Gallant and NAHI appeal as potential big improvers.

(1)  (3/1 +60%)Ayr Harbour |
3/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ayr Harbour 3/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/2) 23 days ago. One to consider under Rossa Ryan. On long losing run but conditions suit and on a fair mark; e-w shout with R Ryan booked. |
|||
(3)  (10/3 +33%)Bell Shot |
10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bell Shot 10/3, Latest win at Beverley in July. 9/2, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 11 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Has to be taken seriously under Marquand. Two wins for new yard this year and he's been fairly reliable; should go well again. |
|||
(2)  (9/2 -64%)Chalk Mountain |
9/2(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chalk Mountain 9/2, On an AW hat-trick after 7f wins at Southwell and Wolverhampton last month. Did it quite readily at the latter so a further 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making another bold bid. Improved for a wind op and he's chasing a hat-trick after two smooth Tapeta wins; solid. |
|||
(10)  (17/2 +15%)Inner Temple |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Inner Temple 17/2, Latest win at Southwell in March. Very good third of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (7f) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Two 7f AW wins early in the year; came out of slump with good 3rd at Newcastle last month. |
|||
(12)  (10/1 -100%)State Flag |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) State Flag 10/1, Raced only at 7f, winning AW maiden in May and Newbury handicap in July. Improved again when second back at Newbury last month. Needs considering. Making steady progress at a modest level and it's likely there is more in the tank; chance. |
|||
(5)  (12/1 +14%)Thapa Vc |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Thapa Vc 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. Runner-up twice on turf in August and the race didn't go his way at Chelmsford last time (likely still in form). Running well since blinkers went on; this test may suit him better than Chelmsford latest. |
|||
(11)  (14/1 +0%)Twirler |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Twirler 14/1, Largely progressive on AW at the start of 2024, including a pair of 7f wins. Freshened up since a lesser run on turf at Lingfield in June. Good record on AW and not fully exposed; returns from a break in a hot race for the grade. |
|||
(7)  (16/1 -14%)Sedgemoor |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sedgemoor 16/1, Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Haydock (7f) in June and might have been unsuited by softer ground when well held at Newbury 4 months later. Still early days with him. Looked good at Haydock on handicap debut in June; ground excuse latest; unexposed. |
|||
(4)  (25/1 -257%)Crystal Casque |
25/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Crystal Casque 25/1, Five-time course winner. Good third of 10 in handicap at Sandown (1m, good, 12/1) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Can give a good account. Veteran but in good form and goes well around here; each-way claims once more. |
|||
(13)  (28/1 -40%)Dianara |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Dianara 28/1, Ended 2023 with a 7f Brighton maiden win but not seen again until last of 9 in Newmarket handicap in August. That leaves her with a bit to prove for the time being. Low-key seasonal return at Newmarket six weeks ago; best watched after that. |
|||
(6)  (33/1 -32%)Respectful |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Respectful 33/1, Big prices and down the field on both outings for this stable but the booking of Oisin Murphy takes the eye. Also wears first-time cheekpieces. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Struggled so far this year but there are grounds for expecting better this time. |
|||
(9)  (40/1 -300%)Dion Baker |
40/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dion Baker 40/1, Three wins from 20 runs this year. 7/2, good second of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Stall 13 could be tricky for one who tends to race prominently. Having a good year but form needs to move to a new level for him to win this from stall 13. |
|||
(8)  (50/1 -52%)Expert Agent |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Expert Agent 50/1, Course winner. Latest win at Windsor in July but down the field on all 3 outings since. Drawn widest. 6f win at Windsor in July; struggled since and now tries a new trip. |
|||
(14)  (80/1 -60%)Blue Yonder |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Blue Yonder 80/1, Latest win at Newbury in June. Blinkered first time, last of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good, 28/1) 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Not beaten a rival in last three starts; drops in trip with no headgear; opposable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CHALK MOUNTAIN was a slightly unfortunate second to State Flag at Newbury in July, but Stuart Kittow's gelding gained his reward last month. On target at Southwell before going on to complete a double at Wolverhampton six days later, taking his all-weather record to four from 11, he can continue his progress from a favourable draw. Nine-year-old Crystal Casque has shown more positive signs of late and he can get into the shake-up, along with Dion Baker, who was narrowly denied at Brighton last time out.
CHALK MOUNTAIN is in the form of his life and might be able to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Mick Appleby pair Bell Shot and Ayr Harbour have solid claims from handy draws, while State Flag is a 3-y-o who could have more to offer.
The lightly raced SEDGEMOOR (nap) is given another chance to confirm the impression he created at Haydock. Chalk Mountain is feared.

(1)  (1/1 +38%)Willem Twee |
1/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Willem Twee 1/1, Smart C&D winner. Enhanced his excellent AW record when defying a mark of 106 at Wolverhampton (6f) at the beginning of August and he's the one to beat under Oisin Murphy. Smart sprinter on AW and getting better all the time; bold bid likely despite a penalty. |
|||
(6)  (4/1 +0%)Night Raider |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Night Raider 4/1, Impressive winner over 7f at Southwell on first 2 starts. Has come up short in good company on turf since but he did show up well for a long way back from wind surgery at Newmarket (6f) at the end of August and no shock were he to resume his progression back on AW. Two wide-margin AW wins in December/March; struggled in good races since; unexposed on AW. |
|||
(8)  (11/2 +61%)Gutsy Girl |
11/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gutsy Girl 11/2, Useful effort when winning a C&D handicap in July. Runner-up at the York Ebor meeting next time but a step up to listed company too much at Ayr 12 days ago. Has a bit to find on these terms. Impressed over C&D in July; two solid runs have followed; could outrun her weights chance. |
|||
(7)  (17/2 -113%)Kinta |
17/2(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kinta 17/2, Useful C&D winner. 17/2 and tongue strap on first time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) in March. Should go well if ready to roll after 7 months off. Yet to run a poor race on AW but she's back from seven months off. |
|||
(5)  (11/1 +45%)Zero Carbon |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Zero Carbon 11/1, Useful sort who operates very well around here, taking his course record to 4-8 when making all in 7f handicap last time. Looks to be biting off more than he can chew against these smart rivals, though. Four course wins but all at 7f; still improving but he's in deeper today. |
|||
(3)  (22/1 -100%)Go Bears Go |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Go Bears Go 22/1, Group 3 winner in summer 2022 but doesn't look anything like the same force these days, albeit this is a bit easier than the Group races he's tackled since rejoining David Loughnane after a spell in the US. Smart in his youth but current ability not easy to gauge; opposable on AW debut. |
|||
(2)  (28/1 -331%)Equilateral |
28/1(-331%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Equilateral 28/1, More miss than hit in 2024 but his penultimate Sandown third shows he's still capable of smart form on his day. This is only his second AW outing on career start number 45. Only run to form once this year; others bring more pressing claims. |
|||
(4)  (33/1 -136%)Juan Les Pins |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Juan Les Pins 33/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Given a break since finishing down the field in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot in June. Needs a return to his best after his break but that's not out of the question. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Equilateral has failed to reach the heights of previous years this season, but he could have a say if running to the level of his third at Sandown on his penultimate start. However, WILLEM TWEE looks the way to go. James Fanshawe's five-year-old struck by the smallest of margins at Wolverhampton in August and he sets a high standard with a rating of 108. Juan Les Pins is the pick of the remainder.
A smart conditions race in which WILLEM TWEE can land another AW win. In receipt of 9 lb Kinta could give the selection a run for his money if fully primed after 7 months off. Another interesting contender is Karl Burke 3-y-o Night Raider, who took a step back in the right direction at Newmarket last time and looked really promising when winning twice on AW by a combined 14 lengths at the start of his career.
Most have some sort of question mark lingering over them but not so for WILLEM TWEE and he can give the weight away.

(5)  (11/4 +45%)Eben Zaabeel |
11/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Eben Zaabeel 11/4, Fairly useful maiden. 5/2, respectable second of 14 in novice at Southwell (1½m) 29 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Third off this mark in his previous handicap. Creditable third in his only previous handicap and he still has potential; in the mix. |
|||
(4)  (7/2 +13%)Heat Of Passion |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Heat Of Passion 7/2, Made a winning handicap debut over 11f at Southwell in July. Might have found the run coming too soon when only fifth of 6 at Chelmsford 8 days later. Freshened up since and remains unexposed. Won on handicap debut at Southwell and the run may have come too soon next time; respected. |
|||
(7)  (4/1 +0%)Expected Arrival |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Expected Arrival 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (11/2) at Haydock (1¼m, good to firm) 53 days ago, kept up to work. Respected as an unexposed 3-y-o. Off he mark at Haydock last time and she's open to more progress back on AW; key player. |
|||
(3)  (11/2 -22%)Parramount |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Parramount 11/2, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Epsom (1½m, soft, 9/2) 20 days ago. Drop back in trip will help. Fairly useful hurdler who has finished placed in 1m4f handicaps last twice; respected. |
|||
(1)  (6/1 -33%)Liseo |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Liseo 6/1, C&D winner. 18/1, creditable fourth of 13 in C&D handicap last Wednesday. One to consider at a venue which suits. Last two wins have been over C&D and he was a creditable fourth here latest; dangerous. |
|||
(13)  (9/1 +0%)Rockit Tommy |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Rockit Tommy 9/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Bath 28 days ago. Back down in trip. Another who could have a say. Reached the frame in his last two handicaps but he needs to find more back at this trip. |
|||
(6)  (11/1 +56%)Tahitian Prince |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tahitian Prince 11/1, Course winner. Last of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Epsom (1¼m, good) 37 days ago, finding test too much. Tongue strap back on. Even longer trip now isn't certain to help. Well held in all five runs this season and has plenty to prove at this new trip. |
|||
(11)  (33/1 -230%)Orchestra |
33/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Orchestra 33/1, Fair maiden hurdler for this yard in the first half of the year. Placed off higher marks on the Flat for Ed Dunlop in his 3-y-o campaign. Interesting runner. Now 4lb lower than for last win and he's not ruled back on the Flat after a break. |
|||
(9)  (100/1 -203%)Sixfiveseven |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sixfiveseven 100/1, Placed twice in France but well held in completed start over hurdles in Britain and beaten 13 lengths back on the Flat at Salisbury last month, albeit it was a useful novice. Makes handicap and AW debut with a tongue tie added. Five-race maiden who needs a transformation with tongue-tie tried on handicap debut. |
|||
(12)  (100/1 -100%)Cresta Cat |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Cresta Cat 100/1, 66/1, first run since leaving Andy Irvine when last of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Worth a second look in the betting. Seven-race maiden and he needs a major turnaround back up in trip. |
|||
(14)  (150/1 -50%)Ocean Odyssey |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Ocean Odyssey 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tailed off in both his handicaps and has lots to prove on this big step up in trip. |
|||
(2)  (150/1 -275%)Ghasham |
150/1(-275%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ghasham 150/1, Won over hurdles in March 2023 but off since finishing well held in a Bangor handicap the following month. Best watched on comeback unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Returns to the Flat after a long absence and has something to prove on Polytrack debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
PARRAMOUNT had Rockit Tommy (fourth) behind when being denied by a length into second over 1m4f here two starts ago and produced another good effort to make the frame in this grade at Epsom last time. Charlie Longsdon's eight-year-old ought to go close if he can back those efforts up with Hollie Doyle back on board. Eben Zaabeel finished a length and a quarter in front of King's Reign (third) at Southwell last time, who went on to defy an opening mark of 77 at Pontefract next time. That effort gives him a big chance back in handicap company.
A competitive handicap in which another chance is given to Sir Mark Prescott's HEAT OF PASSION back from a short break. Fellow 3-y-o filly Expected Arrival is respected on the back of her Haydock success. Liseo's solid Kempton record has to bring him into the reckoning, while Fergal O'Brien's Orchestra is also of some interest back on the Flat with Tom Marquand booked.
A competitive race in which the vote goes to the unexposed EXPECTED ARRIVAL, who won at Haydock in August and is open to more progress.

(11)  (5/1 -11%)Highland Spring |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Highland Spring 5/1, Blinkered for first time, career best when winning 11-runner handicap (14/1) at this C&D 49 days ago, overcoming positional bias. Has to be taken seriously with 3 lb rise almost certainly underestimating him. Off the mark (seventh attempt) over C&D last time and that form has worked out; respected. |
|||
(3)  (6/1 +33%)Al Rufaa |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Al Rufaa 6/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Shaped better than the result when eighth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good, 12/1) 25 days ago, denied a clear run on more than one occasion. Disappointing at Haydock latest but was knocking on the door on AW before that; in the mix. |
|||
(1)  (15/2 +6%)Hickory |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hickory 15/2, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 41 days ago, having hopeless task from position. That run is therefore easy to excuse and he's down in class here Looks worth a try at this new trip and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |
|||
(9)  (8/1 +27%)Native King |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Native King 8/1, Successful handicap/stable debut at Chester in June. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (2/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good) 25 days ago, running on. Makes polytrack debut and he's in better heart than his form figures suggest. Hasn't gone on since his Chester win in June and has bit to prove on Polytrack debut. |
|||
(12)  (8/1 -45%)Classic Encounter |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Classic Encounter 8/1, First run since leaving Charlie Appleby and shaped with a good deal of promise when good fifth of 10 in novice at Newcastle (8f) 22 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Makes handicap debut from a very fair mark so he's shortlisted. Unexposed 3yo who has shown clear promise and he needs a close look on handicap debut. |
|||
(8)  (17/2 -42%)Kalamunda |
17/2(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kalamunda 17/2, C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 8/13, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 22 days ago, always holding on. Up 5 lb and stall 14 isn't ideal but he's unbeaten on the AW. Made it 4-4 on AW when winning at Lingfield last time; big player again in hat-trick bid. |
|||
(6)  (9/1 +36%)Jungle Mac |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jungle Mac 9/1, Breakthrough handicap win on first start against his elders at Newmarket in July. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) 62 days ago, going off too hard and weakening when badly hampered late on. Had a blip at Glorious Goodwood latest but he's generally reliable and could rebound. |
|||
(4)  (11/1 +67%)Endless Power |
11/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Endless Power 11/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. 28/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Won two in a row on Tapeta in the spring but he's finished in rear in last three runs. |
|||
(5)  (11/1 -38%)The Ice Phoenix |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Ice Phoenix 11/1, 11/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 29 days ago, driven clear. Didn't look totally straightforward in the process and positive tactics are going to be hard to execute from stall 13. Made it 2-4 on AW when scoring at Southwell last time; big player again up 3lb. |
|||
(7)  (16/1 +27%)Newsreader |
16/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Newsreader 16/1, Back-to-back novice winner over 7f this winter. 25/1, last of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Up in trip and return to the AW will help. 2-3 at this track but he's been disappointing in both handicaps and has something to prove. |
|||
(2)  (16/1 -167%)Rowayeh |
16/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rowayeh 16/1, Sent off 5/2 but wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 6 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, left poorly placed as the race unfolded. Eased 1 lb but stall 12 may present a problem. Should get a decent tow into the race and has claims if she gets some luck. |
|||
(13)  (22/1 +0%)Island Bandit |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Island Bandit 22/1, Back down to last winning mark and best effort this term when seventh of 14 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has faded in his three runs this season and has work to do back on AW; change of headgear. |
|||
(14)  (22/1 -144%)Appeal To Glory |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Appeal To Glory 22/1, Left qualifying form behind when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Open to further improvement so he demands respect. Won on handicap debut over C&D 16 days ago; up 3lb but he should have more to offer. |
|||
(10)  (50/1 -127%)Double Time |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Double Time 50/1, Quirky sort. C&D winner. Latest win at Goodwood in June. Below form fourth of 13 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to soft, 9/1) 26 days ago. Well held in last three starts and needs to rediscover his spark back on AW. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Kalamunda boasts an unbeaten record on the all-weather and he would be dangerous to dismiss off 5lb higher than his latest victory at Lingfield. However, this represents a step up in grade and, with that in mind, the vote goes to THE ICE PHOENIX. Charles Hills' three-year-old struck in commanding fashion at this level at Southwell on his most recent outing and he might be capable of defying a 3lb rise. Highland Spring completes the shortlist.
Blinkers clearly did plenty for HGHLAND SPRING given he took his form to a new level when successful over C&D a month ago, value for extra in the process. From a handy stall, he's taken to follow up, for all there's plenty of depth to this, with fellow 3-y-os Appeal To Glory and Classic Encounter feared most.
Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to KALAMUNDA, who made it 4-4 on AW when completing a double at Lingfield last time.

(8)  (3/1 +33%)Nap Hand |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Nap Hand 3/1, Confirmed promise of his previous run over C&D and looked better than ever when winning 11-runner handicap (4/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good) 25 days ago, seeing off a pair of upwardly-mobile 3-y-os. Of interest up 3 lb back on this surface. Taking performance at Haydock last month and a 3lb rise isn't excessive; contender. |
|||
(11)  (9/2 +0%)Devoirs Choice |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Devoirs Choice 9/2, Resumed progress when off the mark at Redcar (1m) and took another sizeable step forward when following up in 14-runner handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm, 6/1) 34 days ago. Displayed a good attitude then and respected nudged up just 2 lb. 2-2 since returning to a mile; still feasibly weighted; effective on AW; one to consider. |
|||
(4)  (11/2 -10%)Havanagreattime |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Havanagreattime 11/2, Lightly-raced 3-y-o who posted his best effort yet when making a winning return from the front over 7f here in March, quickening over 1f out and always holding on. Absent again since but he's unexposed on all-weather/at 1m and he could yet have more to offer. Game 7f win here in March; a mile should suit but he has another absence to contend with. |
|||
(2)  (13/2 +46%)Rhythm N Rock |
13/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rhythm N Rock 13/2, 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. Not disgraced when midfield in London Mile Final on return 25 days ago and capable of playing his part from this mark. Conditions to suit and he comes here a fresh horse; shouldn't be far away. |
|||
(10)  (15/2 +46%)Bluelight Bay |
15/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Bluelight Bay 15/2, Successful over 1m last summer but he's essentially been operating below his best this term, tenth of 14 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good, 12/1) 69 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Down in the weights but this season has been a struggle; others have less to prove. |
|||
(5)  (11/1 +31%)King's Code |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) King's Code 11/1, Real success story for his yard, adding more wins at Southwell and over C&D at the start of the year. Has found things tougher in competitive handicaps on turf in recent months but he's eased in the weights as a result and he's one to keep an eye on returned to this surface. Gone quiet in recent starts but he's down in the weights and class as a result. |
|||
(3)  (11/1 +45%)Helm Rock |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Helm Rock 11/1, Useful performances when winning twice at this time last year, including over C&D. Proved more miss than hit in handful of starts since returning from a break in June though, never on terms when eighth in London Mile Final here last month. Well handicapped but he's not hit top form this year and he's bagged another wide draw. |
|||
(1)  (14/1 -115%)Hieronymus |
14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hieronymus 14/1, Had been out of sorts over summer but ran his best race since the early spring when third of 14 in London Mile Final over C&D 25 days ago. Seen to advantage in dictating the pace then but well drawn to attack from the front again here. Mark unchanged. Conditions in his favour and he ran well in a stronger C&D handicap last time; chance. |
|||
(9)  (20/1 -122%)Monte Linas |
20/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Monte Linas 20/1, Stepped up on his reappearance run when second at Beverley last month and easy to ignore his latest Pontefract effort, coming with a run when badly hampered on inner final 1f. Not surprise to see him give a good account. Wasn't out of it when badly hampered in the final furlong latest; dropped 1lb; chance. |
|||
(13)  (22/1 -57%)Lessay |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Lessay 22/1, Winner on debut here (7f) in December and lines up here having largely run respectably whilst looking summed up by his mark in handicaps in recent months. Disappointing effort in refitted hood when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (7f) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for. Struggled on turf this summer; hopes pinned on cheekpieces/return to AW sparking a revival. |
|||
(6)  (25/1 -257%)Love Billy Boy |
25/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Love Billy Boy 25/1, Doubled career tally at Chester (7.6f) in June and left a couple of lesser efforts in his wake when making the frame on each of his last 2 starts in refitted blinkers, latterly when third back at Chester (7f, heavy) 19 days ago. Another who is unexposed on all weather. Several good runs, including 7.5f Chester win, this year; others appeal more all the same. |
|||
(14)  (28/1 -40%)Aljezur |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Aljezur 28/1, Still a maiden but he ran respectably with cheekpieces enlisted in pair of 7f handicaps here prior to a lesser run when seventh of 8 in handicap at Newbury (1m, soft) 11 days ago, the ground a plausible excuse. However, he still needs to prove himself at this trip. Hasn't lived up to his billing in handicaps this season; ground excuse latest; opposable. |
|||
(12)  (33/1 -32%)Golden Sands |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Golden Sands 33/1, C&D winner who proved too free and never figured first 2 starts back this summer (reportedly bled latterly). May of needed first start for 2 months when seventh of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (1m) 13 days ago but others come here with stronger claims in any case. Well drawn for a front-runner and there were more encouraging signs last month. |
|||
(7)  (66/1 -313%)Mirador |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mirador 66/1, Won a valuable 10-runner newcomers race at Deauville last summer but yet to build on it this season and the blinkers are reached for making handicap debut. Well held in two 1m2f runs this year; unexposed but something to prove tried in blinkers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having scored a shade cosily on his handicap bow over 7f here in March, the returning HAVANAGREATTIME makes plenty of appeal off just 4lb higher. This step up to a mile is likely to suit Richard Hughes' colt and he's taken to make a winning reappearance. Better is expected from the downgraded Rhythm N Rock, who wasn't disgraced when finishing seventh in a competitive class 2 event over C&D last month. The six-year-old is feared most, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Devoirs Choice.
NAP HAND confirmed the promise of his previous effort here in no uncertain terms when resuming winning ways at Haydock 25 days ago, seeing off a pair of progressive 3-y-os in the process. He makes plenty of appeal nudged up 3 lb and earns the vote ahead of the hat-trick seeking Devoirs Choice, who comes here firmly on the up himself. King's Code, from a very attractive mark and low-mileage Havanagreattime complete the shortlist.
Devoirs Choice is thriving back at a mile but NAP HAND won well at Haydock and may have his measure today.

(5)  (7/4 +50%)Windsor Pass |
7/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Windsor Pass 7/4, Remains a maiden but caught the eye when fourth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 15 days ago, left with lot to do. Has eased further in the weights and she could be ready to take advantage. Frustrating mare who has not been beaten far on her last four starts.. |
|||
(13)  (5/1 +0%)Marchetti |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Marchetti 5/1, Course winner who doubled her tally at Chepstow in May. Has run well on her last 3 starts, second of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 5/1) 16 days ago, and she could be thereabouts once more. Has finished runner-up on her last three starts and holds strong claims.. |
|||
(2)  (11/2 +21%)Arika |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Arika 11/2, Followed a respectable effort with a below-par one when fifth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 12 days ago. However, he's capable of getting involved as he drops in grade. Beaten a neck when third at Lingfield in July and holds claims if running up to his best.. |
|||
(1)  (6/1 -20%)Classic Speed |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Classic Speed 6/1, Opened account over C&D in March. Hasn't quite been able to match that level since, fifth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 48 days ago, but he's not discounted at this venue. Got off the mark when making virtually all C&D in March off 3lb lower mark.. |
|||
(6)  (6/1 +0%)Imola |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Imola 6/1, In first-time blinkers (left off this time), bounced back a lesser effort when second of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 10/1) 30 days ago, clear of rest. One to note on first run since leaving Darryll Holland. Ran up to her best when second at Chepstow last month in first-time blinkers.. |
|||
(7)  (15/2 -50%)Cuban Harry |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cuban Harry 15/2, Off the mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on penultimate start and backed up that effort when fourth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at the same C&D 9 days ago, not ideally placed. Enters calculations in his current form. Took advantage of his lowest mark when breaking his duck last month at Wolverhampton.. |
|||
(3)  (20/1 +20%)Pessoa |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pessoa 20/1, All 4 career victories at Wolverhampton, with latest success in January. Mixed form since, though, never involved when seventh of 10 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 12 days ago. Others more persuasive at present. Has been out of sorts on his last three starts, including over C&D, and others preferred.. |
|||
(8)  (33/1 -371%)No News |
33/1(-371%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) No News 33/1, Made it back-to-back course wins (both at 7f) when successful in January. Below-par effort when seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 10/3) 22 days ago, but he could fare better returned to this track. Dual course winner over 7f but below par since finishing second here in January.. |

(10)  (40/1 -60%)This Time Maybe |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) This Time Maybe 40/1, Hasn't made much impact in a trio of handicap starts this season, fifth of 8 at Lingfield (8f, AW, 40/1) 3 weeks ago. Looks to be up against it. Has offered little in three starts for current yard and needs to show more.. |

(9)  (80/1 -220%)Glencalvie |
80/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Glencalvie 80/1, Gained a second career success when scoring at Yarmouth in April. However, has finished down the field both starts for current yard, tenth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 25/1) 16 days ago. Slowly away both outings for new connections, following four-month break.. |
|||
(4)  (100/1 -150%)Dubai Harbour |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dubai Harbour 100/1, No better than mid-division in his 4 starts so far, offering little on handicap debut when eighth of 11 at Lingfield (8f, AW, 80/1) 41 days ago. Has work to do. Modest form, including handicap debut when eighth of 11 at Lingfield in August.. |
|||
(12)  (125/1 -89%)Roody Toody |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Roody Toody 125/1, Remains with little solid form, faring no better in first-time hood and cheekpieces when last of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago. Step up in trip not enough to tempt. No encouragement when last of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f) nine days ago.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Stable debutant Imola returned to form in first-time blinkers when a respectable second at Chepstow last month and a return to this track and trip shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. However, a wide draw and lack of headgear may prove her undoing and preference is for CUBAN HARRY. Ed Dunlop's gelding showed that he is still in good heart when posting a solid fourth at Wolverhampton nine days ago and today's plum draw could see him back in the winner's enclosure. Windsor Pass and Marchetti are also worth a second look.
WINDSOR PASS has been shaping up well from her falling mark, again making the frame at Newcastle last time despite having been left poorly placed, so she is taken to open her account as she drops in grade. Cuban Harry also arrives in good heart and could be the main danger, ahead of Marchetti.
The mare MARCHETTI appeals most, at the foot of the handicap, after finishing second on her last three starts. Imola is second best.

(3)  (3/1 +10%)Lewis Barnes |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lewis Barnes 3/1, Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (15/8) at Chelmsford City (6f) 4 days ago. Should be back on his game if able to lead. Went very close at Chelmsford on penultimate run; big player if he can recapture that form. |
|||
(4)  (7/2 +61%)Oriental Spirit |
7/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Oriental Spirit 7/2, C&D winner. One win from 22 Flat runs. 18/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Record of 1-22 but has claims on his best form this season; could be dangerous back at 6f. |
|||
(8)  (9/2 +0%)Fai Fai |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fai Fai 9/2, Latest win at Salisbury in July. 13/2, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not dismissed. In fair form but he has another wide draw and will need some luck if dropped in again. |
|||
(7)  (7/1 +22%)Willowbank |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Willowbank 7/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 5/1) 45 days ago. Latest effort best excused but a wide draw is far from ideal. Inconsistent ten-race maiden who was in rear at Southwell latest; others preferred. |
|||
(2)  (17/2 -21%)Queen Jean |
17/2(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Queen Jean 17/2, Last of 5 in handicap (2/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Perhaps unsuited by the track there and she'd shaped well at Lingfield on her previous outing. Six-race maiden who has not progressed so far and she needs improvement back in trip. |
|||
(10)  (11/1 +45%)Flagman |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Flagman 11/1, C&D winner. 25/1 and visored for 1st time, tenth of 15 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 18 days ago. C&D winner but he's been well held in his three runs this season; needs to raise his game. |
|||
(1)  (16/1 -60%)Apple A Dey |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Apple A Dey 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should strip fitter for that and could benefit from return to polytrack. Lightly raced 4yo but she made a low-key start in handicaps at Windsor last month. |
|||
(6)  (18/1 -260%)Midnight Flame |
18/1(-260%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Midnight Flame 18/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good second of 15 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 22/1) 18 days ago. Should remain competitive. 0-25 but she went close in first-time cheekpieces at Bath latest; respected back on AW. |
|||
(9)  (25/1 -108%)Family Matters |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Family Matters 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, sixth of 11 in novice at this C&D 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed 3yo and she's a possible improver on handicap debut; watch the market. |
|||
(11)  (33/1 -175%)Don't Fight It |
33/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Don't Fight It 33/1, 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. 40-1 second at Lingfield but she failed to back that up at Chelmsford; blinkers now tried. |
|||
(5)  (33/1 -136%)Marinakis |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Marinakis 33/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW), slowly away. Off 180 days. Hard to make a case for. Well held in all seven runs and has plenty to prove after another break. |
|||
(12)  (33/1 -32%)Classy Hopes |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Classy Hopes 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in minor event (66/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap debut. In rear in all five runs and needs a transformation on handicap debut; new headgear. |

Although LEWIS BARNES was a little underwhelming when only fifth at Chelmsford four days ago, he still looks capable of landing a race of this nature judged on his penultimate close-up second at that same venue. The five-year-old will need to break out better in today's contest, but he's worth persevering with. The application of first-time cheekpieces appeared to unlock some hidden potential in recent Bath runner-up Midnight Flame and the Joe Ponting-trained filly is feared most, ahead of C&D winner Oriental Spirit.
APPLE A DEY ran well in a maiden here in February and shaped as if in need of the run in a handicap at Windsor on her only subsequent outing 16 days ago. Likely to be better for that, she's worth taking a chance on returning to AW with few miles on the clock. Queen Jean and Lewis Barnes can both make their presence felt if able to bounce back from lesser efforts.
Preference is for LEWIS BARNES, who had a near-miss at Chemsford on his penultimate run. Midnight Flame is feared most.

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.
