(5)  (12/1 -71%)Yeoman |
12/1(-71%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Yeoman 12/1, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 37 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. On a handy mark judged on the pick of 3-y-o efforts and is one to bear in mind The surface gives him most to prove, as he made no great impact in his three turf runs. |
|||
(3)  (14/1 -75%)Roxanne |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Roxanne 14/1, Progressive in winning all 3 starts for Markus Klug and shaped with plenty of encouragement making her British debut after a 6-month absence when second in 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford (10f). Too free at Doncaster last time and could be worth another chance. 3-3 in Germany; close 2nd on British debut but flopped (raced freely in lead) last time. |
|||
1st (6)  (2/1 +0%)Esmeray |
2/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Esmeray 2/1, Lightly-raced winner. 13/8, shaped as if better for run when third of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, heavy) 19 days ago. Expected to be bang there back in more realistic company. Failed to see it out when favourite for both her handicaps; has had just five races. |
|||
2nd (9)  (9/1 +25%)Dancing In Paris |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dancing In Paris 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 26 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Hard to fancy on recent efforts. Always behind over 1m in his three outings this term; the return to 1m2f offers hope. |
|||
3rd (8)  (4/1 +60%)Morcar |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Morcar 4/1, Got back on track returned to 1¼m when second of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm), beating all bar an unexposed stable companion. Gelded/had breathing operation during 8-month absence. Player if sharp enough on return. Back-to-form 2nd final start; had wind and gelding operations in the autumn; not dismissed. |
|||
4th (2)  (10/3 +26%)First Officer |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) First Officer 10/3, More than sharp enough to pick up where he'd left off in the autumn when winning 8-runner handicap at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 12 days ago, keeping on well. 7 lb claimer retains ride and he's highly respected. Revival last 3 starts; peak efforts suggest there is still plenty of mileage in his mark. |
|||
5th (1)  (12/1 +25%)City Of York |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) City Of York 12/1, Completed hat-trick in 2023 when winning at Newbury. 2 lb out of weights when well below form in competitive event there last time. Frame claims if staying the longer trip. Hat-trick last August/September over 1m1f/1m on soft, AW and heavy; little impact since. |
|||
6th (10)  (9/1 -38%)Party Island |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Party Island 9/1, Won 6-runner handicap on AW here (12f, 7/2) 9 days ago by 2 lengths from Born Ruler, cosily. Merits consideration. Well handicapped, made clear with AW win last week; 1-17 turf score is the chief issue. |
|||
7th (7)  (9/1 -13%)Tarbaan |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tarbaan 9/1, Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (5/1) at Windsor (10f, good) 26 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction and isn't ruled out. Respectable fourth back on turf at Windsor (1m2f, good) latest; in each-way calculations. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FIRST OFFICER was on target under Sorin Moldoveanu at Windsor last month and, given that he remains well treated off 4lb higher, another bold showing looks assured in this handicap. Roxanne was too keen to do herself justice at Doncaster a fortnight ago but she's potentially well handicapped if learning to settle better in her races, while Esmeray can chase the pair home.
ESMERAY was notably strong in the betting when third in a Pontefract 0-100 but ultimately shaped as if the outing was needed a shade more than the market expected. Ralph Beckett's filly can step forward dropped in grade with race fitness now on her side, though recent Windsor winner First Officer and Party Island, who scored on the AW track last time, also merit plenty of respect.
Having resumed this season where he left off last term, FIRST OFFICER (nap) can score again under Sorin Moldoveanu.

(8)  (5/1 -25%)Flash Bardot |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Flash Bardot 5/1, Five wins from 16 Flat runs, including a career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) 14 days ago. May prove better suited by more testing conditions but enters calculations nevertheless. Three impressive wins in the mud from last four starts; returns to far less testing ground. |
|||
(1)  (12/1 -9%)Kolossal |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kolossal 12/1, Won 3 times at Pattern level last season for Carmen Bosckai, including Group 3s at Milan and Hoopegarten. Joined new yard for €200,000 and worth market check in a handicap. Ex-German; two Group 3 wins; 200,000euros buy last December; needs to resume in peak form. |
|||
(5)  (17/2 +15%)Track Of Time |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Track Of Time 17/2, Three wins from 6 runs last year. Fifth of 13 in handicap at Meydan (9f, good, 15/2), unable to sustain effort. Off 120 days. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Francis-Henri Graffard. Worth second look in the betting. Trained in France hitherto, where he's had three wins, and he ran respectably at Meydan. |
|||
1st (3)  (5/4 +50%)Aimeric |
5/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Aimeric 5/4, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm, 7/4), overcoming pace bias. 6 lb rise looks light and he's highly respected on return. Won reappearance last term and hit a new high when scoring at Beverley on final start. |
|||
2nd (9)  (5/2 +38%)True Legend |
5/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) True Legend 5/2, Improving middle-distance handicapper last season, scoring for third time at Salisbury (1½m) in July. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm, 15/2). Off 7 months. Type to do better again this season. Mostly progressive in handicaps; major player if straight back to his best form. |
|||
3rd (4)  (5/1 +29%)If Not Now |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) If Not Now 5/1, Won 3-runner Sandown handicap (1¼m, good to soft) last season prior to creditable fifth in the German Derby. Clearly wasn't 100% when down the field at Doncaster next time and so looks best watched after 8 months off. Respectable fifth in 1m4f German Derby; tailed off in handicap in September (1m2f, soft). |
|||
4th (7)  (9/1 +36%)Global Heat |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Global Heat 9/1, Unreliable type. Fifth of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Meydan (12f, good), again carrying head bit awkwardly. Off 92 days. Cheekpieces back on. Others preferred. Well beaten twice at Meydan early this year; has slipped to a good mark. |
|||
5th (2)  (20/1 +20%)Peking Opera |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Peking Opera 20/1, Listed winner for Aidan O'Brien last season, when also fourth in the Irish Derby. Won a juvenile hurdle for this yard in the winter but offered little when well-beaten last of 10 to Hamish in John Porter Stakes (125/1) at Newbury (12f, good) 21 days ago. Blinkers applied for handicap debut. Very useful in 2023 for Aidan O'Brien but, after hurdles win, concerns now; handicap debut. |
|||
6th (6)  (14/1 +13%)Base Note |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Base Note 14/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 33/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 43 days ago, missing break. Looks to have gone off the boil recently. 5-19 on AW, compared to 0-2 (modest form in spring 2022) on turf; thrown in on AW form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Aimeric rounded off last season with a comfortable Beverley success and he could be up to defying a subsequent 6lb hike in the ratings, but IF NOT NOW could offer some value. A bloodless winner on his handicap debut in May of last year, he was far from disgraced when fifth in the German Derby next time. Soft ground was his undoing at Doncaster in September, but the son of Iffraaj can get back on track. True Legend heads the remainder.
AIMERIC got back on the up when winning in taking fashion at Beverley when last seen and Roger Varian's gelding appeals as the type to make his mark felt in top-level handicaps this season, so this looks a good opportunity for him to make a winning return. Flash Bardot has a prolific recent record on slower ground and is hard to discount, whilst True Legend is also considered on his return after a progressive 3-y-o campaign.
The most likely principals look to be AIMERIC and True Legend, including as they both hit the ground running last term.

1st (7)  (7/2 +36%)You Got To Me |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) You Got To Me 7/2, Expensive Nathaniel filly who wasn't asked for everything when winning a maiden at Kempton in September. Still green when 5¼ lengths fifth of 12 to Regal Jubilee in listed race (4/1) at Newmarket (8f, heavy) next time. Should progress this season. Beaten just over 2l by Molten Rock as 2yo (1m, heavy) but this sort of trip can suit well. |
|||
2nd (5)  (10/3 +33%)Rubies Are Red |
10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rubies Are Red 10/3, Sister to Arc winner Found. Has shaped encouragingly when placed both starts in maidens and she's not ruled with further progress anticipated. Front-running second at Leopardstown (1m2f, heavy) one month ago in her second maiden. |
|||
3rd (3)  (2/1 -60%)Danielle |
2/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Danielle 2/1, Cracksman filly. Looked a very good prospect switched to turf when hard held to win a 7-runner minor event at Wetherby (10f, soft, 4/7) 13 days ago by 12 lengths. Sets the standard on that effort. 4-7 at Wetherby (1m2f, soft) last month but it was a striking display to win easily by 12l. |
|||
4th (6)  (6/1 -9%)Treasure |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Treasure 6/1, Mastercraftsman filly. 2/1, won 7-runner maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) on debut, well on top finish. Off 6 months. Handy prospect looks sure to progress. May not have beaten a great deal at Nottingham (1m, heavy) as 2yo, but in clearcut style. |
|||
5th (4)  (13/2 +35%)Molten Rock |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Molten Rock 13/2, Did the job well when making a winning debut at Redcar (1m, heavy) in October before sound third in a Newmarket listed contest. Shaped as if better for run when 9½ lengths fourth of 10 to Dare To Dream in Prix Vanteaux at Longchamp (9f, heavy, 48/10) 34 days ago an she hould have more to offer. Newmarket Listed 3rd (1m, heavy) in November; rather disappointing in French 1m1f Group 3. |
|||
6th (1)  (50/1 -100%)Bigtime Bridget |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bigtime Bridget 50/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in November. 13/8, similar form when second of 11 in minor event there (8.6f). Off 147 days. Significantly up in trip. Difficult ask. AW 1st and 2nd (8.6f) aren't the most exciting credentials but new trip could be big help. |
|||
7th (2)  (28/1 -75%)Cherry Burton |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cherry Burton 28/1, 110,000 gns yearling, Cracksman filly. 4/1, won 5-runner maiden at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) 15 days ago. Bare form there doesn't amount to much but she's open to progress. Asserted in clearcut style in a five-runner maiden at Doncaster (1m4f, soft) on turf debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
DANIELLE didn't have to come out of second gear when landing the spoils at Wetherby 13 days ago and she can further strengthen her Oaks claims by repelling the likely challenge of Treasure, who won over an extended mile at Nottingham when last seen. Stablemate You Got To Me should also benefit from a step up in trip having failed to make an impact in Listed company at Newmarket in November. Rubies Are Red should not be underestimated either.
DANIELLE is bred in the purple and looked a fine prospect when scoring by a wide-margin at Wetherby last time, so should be able to take this step up in grade in her stride. Molten Rock remains with potential after a satisfactory return at Longchamp, with the twice-placed Rubies Are Red also considered for the powerful Coolmore operation.
If any of these have produced a display that smacks of star quality it was surely DANIELLE when she scored with such ease at Wetherby.

1st (1)  (8/1 +33%)Ambiente Friendly |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ambiente Friendly 8/1, Gleneagles colt who made a successful debut (hooded) in 8-runner maiden at Leicester in September, then improved when third to Ancient Wisdom in Autumn Stakes at this Newmarket in October. Not seen to best effect on his recent return and remains capable of better this year. Upped again in trip. Not discredited in 1m1f Newmarket Listed race on return; shaped as if further would suit. |
|||
2nd (5)  (6/4 +45%)Illinois |
6/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Illinois 6/4, His final start at 2 yrs is proving strong form but ultimately shaped as if better for the run when 5¼ lengths third of 5 to Dallas Star in Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown (10f, heavy, 8/11) 34 days ago. 1 of 2 for Aidan O'Brien and he looks the more fancied. Close third in a 1m2f French Group 1 as 2yo; only third at 8-11 in Leopardstown Group 3. |
|||
3rd (7)  (14/1 -27%)Meydaan |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Meydaan 14/1, Perfect start when winning 7-runner maiden at Newcastle (10.2f) on debut, readily overcoming a slow gallop. Perhaps unsuited by the track when running to a similar level when fifth of 6 in novice at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 23 days ago and he'll need a big step forward. Steadily run 1m2f race at Newmarket was against him but moving up in trip looked in order. |
|||
4th (9)  (6/1 -33%)The Euphrates |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Euphrates 6/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 10-runner maiden at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) in October and improved another chunk behind one that did the same when 3 lengths second of 5 to Dallas Star in Ballysax Stakes (7/1) at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) last month. Should have more to offer. Stayed on past stablemate Illinois when 2nd of 5 in Leopardstown Group 3 (1m2f, heavy). |
|||
5th (8)  (16/1 +0%)Salamanca |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Salamanca 16/1, Bred to be sharp and shaped with plenty of encouragement when second in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) on debut in October. Much improved on return when losing out on the nod in novice at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) last month and can progress again. 2nd in Nottingham maiden and Newmarket novice; can improve again and needs to, markedly. |
|||
6th (6)  (11/1 +39%)Imperial Sovereign |
11/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Imperial Sovereign 11/1, Made a winning debut at Newcastle in December and shaped well when second of 5 in minor event at Kempton (11f, 4/1) a couple of months ago, just failing having missed the break. Remains open to improvement. Won debut in December; rallied well when pipped at Kempton (1m3f) in another AW novice. |
|||
7th (4)  (7/2 -40%)Defiance |
7/2(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Defiance 7/2, Camelot colt who was value for extra when making a successful debut in maiden at Sandown. Unable to land a blow in the Royal Lodge at Newmarket next time but ran well after 7 months off when ¾-length second of 6 to Bellum Justum in listed race at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) recently. In the mix. Finished strongly from the rear when second of six in Listed race at Epsom (1m2f, good). |
|||
8th (2)  (20/1 -186%)Arabic Legend |
20/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Arabic Legend 20/1, Dubawi colt who made a winning debut in a 7f novice on the July Course. Took a big step forward when second to a promising sort in a listed event at Salisbury next time and having disappointed in Group 3 on final start, ran well on return/yard debut at Epsom last month. Fourth in Listed race at Epsom (1m2f, good) 18 days ago, 2l behind Defiance. |
|||
9th (3)  (80/1 +0%)At Vimeiro |
80/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) At Vimeiro 80/1, Caught the eye on his 1m Doncaster debut and took a big step forward from that when 4 lengths seventh of 9 in Group 2 Royal Lodge at Newmarket. Disappointed at short odds on his final 2-y-o start and repeated the dose after 6 months off at Yarmouth recently. Upped in grade/trip. Gelded before fifth in Yarmouth maiden 11 days ago; bred for 1m4f but still hard to fancy. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
DEFIANCE made a pleasing seasonal reappearance when staying on to finish second over 1m2f at Epsom last month and, over this extra yardage, he gets the vote to continue Roger Varian's recent good form. The Euphrates looked like a colt who was still learning his trade when shedding his maiden tag over an extended mile at Gowran Park last October and, after finishing second in a Leopardstown Group 3 last month, he commands respect for a trainer who has tasted success in four of the last 11 renewals. Imperial Sovereign is noted too.
This is rarely the strongest of Derby trials, but Aidan O'Brien's ILLINOIS is taken to double his tally having shaped as if better for the run when third in a Leopardstown Group 3 last month. He can get the better of Defiance, who took another step forward after 7 months off when runner-up in a listed event at Epsom recently, while The Euphrates, who finished a place ahead of the selection on return, should have more to offer, too.
Aidan O'Brien runs two but MEYDAAN and Defiance, two from the British stables, make more appeal.

10/3(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Great Generation 10/3, Won her first 2 starts last summer and made the frame for the second time in pattern company without seriously troubling the principals when 3 lengths fourth of 7 to Romantic Style in Prix Imprudence at Deauville (7f, heavy, 22/1) last month. Can build on that. Progressive; showed she's trained on well when fourth in French Group 3; major player. |
|||
2nd (5)  (15/2 +25%)Stenton Glider |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Stenton Glider 15/2, Too free out in front to match her Cape Verdi effort when 10¾ lengths sixth of 7 to English Rose in Balanchine (25/1) at Meydan (9f, good) in February. Back down in trip and she'll need to settle better back on home soil. Claims on last spring's second to Remarquee and returning to 7f may suit. |
|||
3rd (4)  (22/1 -10%)Sirona |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sirona 22/1, Never involved when 7½ lengths eighth of 9 to Fast Raaj in listed race (17/1) at Deauville (7f) 6 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Johnston. Looks up against it. 7f handicap winner last autumn for Charlie Johnston; improvement needed for change of yard. |
|||
4th (2)  (50/1 -127%)Many Tears |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Many Tears 50/1, Showed much improved form to overcome the rise in class in listed event at Dundalk in November. First run since leaving G. M. Lyons (300,000 gns) when 3¾ lengths seventh of 10 to Adelaise in listed race at Kempton (8f, 6/1) 5 weeks ago. Back down in trip. Not ruled out completely but needs to improve even on best AW form now back on turf. |
|||
5th (3)  (6/5 +0%)Remarquee |
6/5(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Remarquee 6/5, Won her first 2 starts, edging ahead late in Fred Darling on 2023 return. Firmly back on track when length second to Tahiyra in Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and ran respectably on both Group 1 starts the following month. Not seen since, but she looks the one to beat (has had a wind op). Last year's Coronation Stakes second; the one to beat if back to her best after wind op. |
|||
6th (6)  (14/1 +0%)Vetiver |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Vetiver 14/1, Three wins, notably a 7f Carlisle listed event on soft ground last June. Showed she can mix it in good handicaps when 2½ lengths fifth of 20 to The Gatekeeper in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) final outing but ran poorly after 5 months off at Doncaster in March. Will need to leave that behind. Well beaten in the Lincoln in March; stern assignment here even if returning to her best. |
|||
7th (7)  (20/1 +60%)Born To Rock |
20/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Born To Rock 20/1, Made a winning start in maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f) last May. Struggled in a listed race at Sandown on her next start (sent off 6/4) but fared much better when 4½ lengths sixth of 10 to Pretty Crystal in Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket (7f) on return. Another step forward needed. 66-1 when sixth of ten in the Nell Gwyn; appears to face another uphill task. |
|||
8th (9)  (14/1 +65%)Les Bleus |
14/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Les Bleus 14/1, Was quite highly tried at 2 yrs and ran creditably on her first start since September when fourth of 5 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 13/2) 5 weeks ago. Back on turf and others look stronger. Respectable fourth in conditions race at Kempton on reappearance; needs a big step forward. |

9th (1)  (11/1 -10%)Cell Sa Beela |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cell Sa Beela 11/1, Improved to make her breakthrough at listed level when winning 10-runner event at Ascot (7f, good to firm) by head from Breege when last seen 7 months ago, narrowly holding off stronger finishers in the dying strides. Back up in grade so will need more on reappearance. Ended 2023 on a high, winning Ascot Listed race; open to further improvement. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
It is hard to look past REMARQUEE, who posted some very creditable efforts behind top Group 1 performers on more than one occasion last season, and she can return to winning ways en route to some stiffer assignments later in the year. Great Generation arrives on the back of an admirable fourth over 7f at Deauville last month, form which is working out well, and she can give the selection the most to think about. Cell Sa Beela also makes some appeal.
Judged on how she acquitted herself in a handful of Group 1s last year, REMARQUEE is strongly fancied to notch a third career success providing she's fully tuned up on reappearance. The obvious danger looks to be Great Generation, who made the frame for the second time in pattern company last month and is open to further improvement. Stenton Glider will need to settle better, but she can edge out Cell Sa Beela for third.
Last year's Coronation second Remarquee is respected but the 3yo GREAT GENERATION looks a very interesting alternative.

(9)  (14/1 +13%)Dimsons |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dimsons 14/1, 6/1, ran better than last time having left Richard Hannon (sold 31,000 gns) without getting back to the level he achieved on debut when fourth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 6 months ago. Makes handicap debut (gelded in interim). Promise in three 7f runs last term; now goes handicapping; worth monitoring in the market. |
|||
1st (3)  (12/1 -20%)Secret Bid |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Secret Bid 12/1, Off the mark at the third attempt when just holding on in an 11-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in October. Below form making handicap debut after 6 months off at Newmarket (7f, good) last month and others make more appeal. Ended 2yo campaign with a win but ran poorly on reappearance; needs to bounce back. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/2 -13%)Sky Warrior |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sky Warrior 9/2, Won second time up at Doncaster last year. Ran below that level after 9 months off when seventh of 8 in minor event (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 5 weeks ago. Back on turf for his handicap debut. Below expectations on return but better judged on Doncaster win last summer; possibilities. |
|||
3rd (6)  (7/1 +50%)The Bitter Moose |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Bitter Moose 7/1, Failed to win from 6 attempts on turf last season but improved a chunk when scoring at Wolverhampton in October before following up at Lingfield 6 weeks later. Failed to repeat that back on turf after 4 months off recently and it's possible he's better on synthetics. Ended 2023 with AW wins; seemed not to handle Newmarket on return; not ruled out. |
|||
4th (8)  (12/1 -20%)Sonmarg |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sonmarg 12/1, 4/1, below form back sprinting when fourth of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 23 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Enters calculations back up in distance. Below par on AW so far this year and needs to be revived by a return to turf. |
|||
5th (1)  (3/1 -60%)Inner Temple |
3/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Inner Temple 3/1, 2 wins from 2 runs this year. 8/1, took his form up another notch faced with a deeper race on handicap debut after 11 weeks off when winning 9-runner event at Southwell (7.1f) 51 days ago, proving willing under pressure. Every chance he can bring up the hat-trick on turf debut. Progressive; 7f AW wins in January and March; switches to turf and may complete hat-trick. |
|||
6th (5)  (10/3 +56%)Madame De Sevigne |
10/3(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Madame De Sevigne 10/3, Took her form up another notch when fourth of 8 in minor event at Ascot (8f, good, 22/1) 10 days ago. Makes handicap debut and she's capable of winning a race of this nature. Personal best when fourth at Ascot and may come on for the run; one to consider. |
|||
7th (7)  (11/1 -10%)South Kensington |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) South Kensington 11/1, Not in the same form as on penultimate start when fifth of 7 in nursery (5/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) when last seen 6 months ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. More needed to get her head in front. 0-5 as 2yo but beaten just a nose on penultimate start; another with a chance. |
|||
8th (4)  (14/1 -100%)Never Fear |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Never Fear 14/1, Won 3 times last year, latest at Newcastle in December. Shaped as if ready for more of a test when fifth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 32 days ago, merely closing up late. Each-way claims kept to this trip. Might have needed reappearance run; both turf efforts so far have been poor. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Inner Temple has to be of interest following two victories earlier in the year, although a 5lb rise for the most recent of those wins will make life tougher for him. With that in mind, preference is for MADAME DE SEVIGNE, who has been progressive in novice/maiden company and she should be capable of making her mark at this level. The shortlist is completed by Never Fear and Sky Warrior.
The hat-trick beckons for INNER TEMPLE, who took his form up another notch stepping into handicap company for the first time at Southwell in March and provided he takes to turf, he can get the better of Madame de Sevigne, who found only a trio from top yards too strong on her handicap debut at Ascot 10 days ago. Sonmarg rounds off the shortlist stepping back up in trip.
The form of INNER TEMPLE's handicap debut win has some substance, and he's taken to complete a hat-trick.

(8)  (10/1 +0%)Quercine |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Quercine 10/1, Winner at Southwell in February. Showed her trademark speed without being able to see it out when third of 6 on turf/handicap debut at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 9/2) 3 weeks ago. Third at Nottingham on turf/handicap debut; still has untapped potential; leading player. |
|||
1st (11)  (4/1 +27%)Law Of Average |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Law Of Average 4/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in November. Improved again after 5 months off and deserves extra credit considering how freely he raced when head second of 6 to Gogo Yubari in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 13/2) 36 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Improving on AW; major contender if handling today's different surface. |
|||
2nd (5)  (4/1 +50%)Split The Profit |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Split The Profit 4/1, 7/2 and visored for 1st time, proved he can cut in on turf when third of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Should get a decent pace to aim at so certainly not out of things. 0-11 but knocking at the door; third at Windsor 12 days ago; in the mix again. |
|||
3rd (7)  (10/1 -82%)Fidelius |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fidelius 10/1, Well-backed 5/4, ran creditably after 6 months off (gelded in the interim) when ¾-length second of 4 to Miss Anya in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago. Nudged up 2 lb and has to be taken seriously with that under his belt. Lightly raced; second to Miss Anya on handicap debut at Wolverhampton; respected. |
|||
4th (13)  (12/1 +25%)Musical Diva |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Musical Diva 12/1, 8/1, ran creditably when sixth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Looks summed up by her mark at present. Creditable efforts of late but starting to look exposed; yard also runs Scoops Ahoy. |
|||
5th (9)  (9/1 +25%)Wrestling Revenue |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Wrestling Revenue 9/1, 5/1, got off the mark under a confident ride in 5-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 10 days ago, always holding on. Will need to improve again to follow up. Up 5lb for Brighton win ten days ago but should remain competitive. |
|||
6th (3)  (10/1 -43%)Gogo Yubari |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gogo Yubari 10/1, 11/4, made it 4 wins from last 5 starts in 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago, responding really well to front-running tactics back up in trip. Remains of interest nudged up another 3 lb. Thriving for new yard on AW, five wins in 2024; has to prove she's as good on turf. |
|||
7th (1)  (16/1 -100%)Miss Anya |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Miss Anya 16/1, 2/1, putting it all together now and followed up from last time when winning 4-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago by ¾ length from Fidelius, edging ahead last ½f. 7 lb claimer on and could do better again. Up 6lb for latest Wolverhampton success and this race looks more competitive. |
|||
8th (10)  (9/2 +0%)Via Blanca |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Via Blanca 9/2, First run since leaving Amy Murphy when won 11-runner handicap (well-backed 16/5) at Southwell (5f) a couple of months ago by short head from Split The Profit, just holding on. Remains of interest despite a 4 lb rise. Closed down late on when scoring at Southwell; may well follow up if as effective on turf. |
|||
9th (4)  (16/1 +20%)Scoops Ahoy |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Scoops Ahoy 16/1, Not in same form as on penultimate start when sixth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly back down to his last winning mark. Claims on Catterick second but then disappointed at Musselburgh and needs to bounce back. |
|||
10th (2)  (12/1 +52%)Tangled Up In Blue |
12/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tangled Up In Blue 12/1, Underperformed returned to novice company when third of 8 in minor event (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 6 months ago, running on. Likely to need this on return. Made frame five times as 2yo; not ruled out if ready to roll after nearly six months off. |
|||
11th (12)  (16/1 -191%)Southbank |
16/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Southbank 16/1, 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 4/9) 23 days ago, leading close home. Nudged up 2 lb and returns to the minimum trip for just a second time. Respected. Two wins at Chelmsford in April; every chance he can carry his progress over to turf. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The unexposed QUERCINE was not disgraced when third on her handicap debut at Nottingham three weeks ago and she should not be underestimated at this level. The likes of Gogo Yubari and Miss Anya have strong form claims if they can transfer their recent all-weather form to the turf, while similar comments apply to Via Blanca. Others to note in a wide-open event are Fidelius and Wrestling Revenue.
An open-looking sprint in which plenty of these have met before, FIDELIUS selected to come out on top and prove the weight of support that came for Robert Cowell's charge at Wolverhampton recently wasn't misplaced. Gogo Yubari made it 4 wins from her last 5 starts on that same card 10 days ago, so she rates as an obvious danger, with Via Blanca and Scoops Ahoy another couple worth keeping an eye on, also.
The suggestion in an open race is QUERCINE who ran creditably on her handicap debut at Nottingham and still has untapped potential.

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.
