The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on these summaries as there are several factors that can influence a horse's performance on the track. However, based on the information provided, 2.75/1 Matters Most and 7.5/1 Succession stand out as they have impressive pedigrees and are half-brothers to other successful horses. 2.75/1 Matters Most is a half-brother to two smart winners and has a strong sire in Advertise, while 7.5/1 Succession is a son of Showcasing and is related to another useful winner. That being said, the cost of the horse and the breeding do not always guarantee success, as other factors such as training, health, and race conditions can also impact a horse's performance.
KALIK cost a pretty penny at the sales last September and he can go some way to repaying that by scoring first time out. A half-brother to multiple Group 3 winner Oscula, he is bred to be smart and just gets the nod ahead of Succession, who hails from a stable that knows their way around young sprinters. American Tale and Dapper Valley have decent pedigrees as well and cannot be ruled out.
A good bunch of juveniles on paper with MATTERS MOST perhaps the pick of them as a 500,000 gns yearling out of a 6f winner at 2 yrs who has already produced a smart sort. Dapper Valley and Kalik also tick plenty of boxes.
Judged solely on sales prices, KALIK and Matters Most stand out. Succession is the suggested third choice.

Ernie's Valentine |
(9) (20/1 -11%)20/1(-11%) | (9) Ernie's Valentine 20/1, Winless last term but he largely ran well, sixth of 11 on tapeta debut at Wolverhampton in December. Returns after a wind op and not discounted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (14) (16/1 -14%) Bernardo O'Reilly |
16/1(-14%) | (14) Bernardo O'Reilly 16/1, C&D winner who fared best of those held up when fifth of 19 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Firmly in the picture off a 1 lb lower mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/1 -54%) Tanmawwy |
10/1(-54%) | (3) Tanmawwy 10/1, Three-time 6f winner last season but he also turned in some poor efforts, coming in last of 13 at Doncaster on his final run. Needs to hit the ground running on his reappearance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (10/1 +38%) Haymaker |
10/1(+38%) | (11) Haymaker 10/1, Dual 6f/7f winner in 2022 who signed off with a good third in 6f handicap at Pontefract in September. Off 7 months but has won off a break so is one to consider. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (14/1 -40%) Sir Thomas Gresham |
14/1(-40%) | (5) Sir Thomas Gresham 14/1, Without a win since 2018 but showed he's no back number for his new yard after over three years off, fifth of 14 in 7f Southwell handicap last month. No forlorn hope. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (18/1 +18%) Aplomb |
18/1(+18%) | (12) Aplomb 18/1, It's now thirteen runs since his last win but he largely ran well in 2022. Cheekpieces go back on for his reappearance and he can't be dismissed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (66/1 -136%) Spanish Star |
66/1(-136%) | (8) Spanish Star 66/1, Reliable handicapper who scored at Goodwood in October. A course winner too so he's shortlisted on his first run of 2023. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (17) (18/1 +10%) Fantasy Master |
18/1(+10%) | (17) Fantasy Master 18/1, Landed 6f Nottingham handicap in September and not disgraced back at 5f on both subsequent starts. Merits consideration on his return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (16) (6/1 +50%) Crazy Luck |
6/1(+50%) | (16) Crazy Luck 6/1, C&D winner who ended 2022 with good fifth of 10 to Spanish Star in handicap at Goodwood (6f) in October. Not ruled out. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (12/1 -33%) Popmaster |
12/1(-33%) | (1) Popmaster 12/1, Course winner who ended 2022 in good nick, failing to stay over 7f when sixth at Doncater final run. Can give another good account back at 6f on his seasonal return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (8.5/1 -42%) Faro De San Juan |
8.5/1(-42%) | (7) Faro De San Juan 8.5/1, Useful ex-French 6f winner for Francis-Henri Graffard. Changed hands for €40,000 and made a solid start for his new yard when third of 19 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Needs considering off an unchanged mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (9/1 +59%) Swayze |
9/1(+59%) | (10) Swayze 9/1, Gelded and improved to land 6f handicap at Newcastle in March. Backed it up with a creditable sixth of 19 at Doncaster 19 days ago so he ought to be in the shake-up again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (11/1 +8%) Zero Carbon |
11/1(+8%) | (13) Zero Carbon 11/1, Three-time 6f/7f scorer in the first half of 2022 who held his form well after too, third of 15 to Marshal Dan over C&D on his final run. Considered. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (9/1 +36%) Ataser |
9/1(+36%) | (15) Ataser 9/1, Scored at Newmarket last June but in and out after, beating only one there on his final run. Needs to get back on track after his 174-day absence. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (6) (8/1 +0%) Marshal Dan |
8/1(+0%) | (6) Marshal Dan 8/1, C&D winner who comes here on the back of good third of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 11 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (4) (7.5/1 -36%) Gisburn |
7.5/1(-36%) | (4) Gisburn 7.5/1, C&D winner who shaped well when fourth of 19 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 19 days ago, not ideally placed. Weighted to go close off an easing mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Based on the summary, some horses that could do well are 6/1 Crazy Luck, 7.5/1 Gisburn, 8/1 Marshal Dan, 8.5/1 Faro De San Juan, 11/1 Zero Carbon, and 16/1 Bernardo O'Reilly. They all have recent good performances and are weighted to have a chance. However, it is difficult to accurately predict the winner without knowing more about the race conditions and each horse's current form leading up to the race.
MARSHAL DAN shaped with plenty of promise on his return at Redcar and he is drawn to attack from stall two in this contest. Heather Main's charge had Zero Carbon (third), Ataser (fourth) and Bernardo O'Reilly (fifth) behind when scoring over C&D back in October and he is taken to uphold that form. Stablemates Bosh and Gisburn are well capable on their day, while Tanmawwy is another to consider with William Buick taking over in the saddle.
Plenty are in with a shout but the vote goes to GISBURN who didn't enjoy the rub of the green despite finishing fourth under similar conditions in a big field at Doncaster and has slipped to a very handy mark. Bernardo O'Reilly also shaped encouragingly when a place behind Richard Hannon's 4yo that day and is next on the list ahead of the returning duo Popmaster and Haymaker.
Several runners are interesting returned to Newbury, most notably CRAZY LUCK who is 2-2 here. Gisburn is second choice.

1st (4) (33/1 +34%) Gather Ye Rosebuds |
33/1(+34%) | (4) Gather Ye Rosebuds 33/1, 95,000 gns Zoffany filly. Sister to useful 9f/1¼m winner The Statesman and half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Certain Lad. Dam maiden. Will need to be very useful to win this on debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (6/1 +45%) Maman Joon |
6/1(+45%) | (7) Maman Joon 6/1, 400,000 gns Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Atty Persse and smart 1¼m-1½m winner Candleford. Dam 1m-1¼m winner. Makes paper appeal and this Oaks entry is one to note in the betting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (4.5/1 +55%) Mistral Star |
4.5/1(+55%) | (9) Mistral Star 4.5/1, 8/1, second of 12 in novice at Lingfield (1m) on debut in November. Up in trip. Oisin Murphy booked. Yet another in this line-up who should have more to offer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (2.75/1 -46%) Shining Jewel |
2.75/1(-46%) | (13) Shining Jewel 2.75/1, 7/4, third of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good) on debut in September, keeping on after getting hampered. Will improve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (17) (18/1 +28%) Wodhooh |
18/1(+28%) | (17) Wodhooh 18/1, 14/1, seventh of 11 in novice at Lingfield (1m) on debut in November, not knocked about. Up in trip. Should improve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (12/1 +33%) Queen Emma |
12/1(+33%) | (12) Queen Emma 12/1, Saxon Warrior half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winners Little Becky and Illustrator. Represents top connections and would enter the reckoning if the betting guides are strong. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (28/1 +30%) Climate Friendly |
28/1(+30%) | (2) Climate Friendly 28/1, 100/30, held back by inexperience when ninth of 13 on 1m Newmarket debut in September. Has left Roger Varian. Open to improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (7/1 +50%) Beccara Rose |
7/1(+50%) | (1) Beccara Rose 7/1, Sea The Stars filly who shaped with encouragement when reaching the frame in 1m maiden/novice events at Doncaster and Kempton last autumn. Likely capable of better again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (22/1 -175%) Eastern Empress |
22/1(-175%) | (3) Eastern Empress 22/1, Dubawi filly who shaped very well when sixth of 11 on 1m Haydock debut last autumn, paying for a big move into contention. Sure to improve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (40/1 -21%) Night At Sea |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Night At Sea 40/1, Sea The Stars filly. Dam, Italian winner up to 11f (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to high-class 1¼m winner Sea of Class (by Sea The Stars). Betting should help guide to expectations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (15) (150/1 -50%) Showy |
150/1(-50%) | (15) Showy 150/1, Golden Horn filly. Dam, Australian 6f winner, closely related to New Zealand Group 1 7f winner Tavistock, also won Australian Group 2 1m event. Bred to have a futrure but likely she's best watched this time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (150/1 -88%) Mrs Twig |
150/1(-88%) | (10) Mrs Twig 150/1, 25,000 gns Mastercraftsman filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 12.4f Sweet P. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Purr Along. Starts out in a warm race. Watching brief is advised. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (33/1 +50%) Marmara Sea |
33/1(+50%) | (8) Marmara Sea 33/1, 33/1, seventh of 13 in novice at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut last autumn. Significantly up in trip. Likely capable of better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (6) (50/1 +24%) Loddon |
50/1(+24%) | (6) Loddon 50/1, 45,000 gns Sea The Moon filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Mersey and 1¼m winner Storm Music. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner. The widest stall could be tricky for this newcomer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (14) (6/1 -80%) Shiva Shakti |
6/1(-80%) | (14) Shiva Shakti 6/1, Promising type. 2/1, second of 8 in novice at Yarmouth (1m, soft) on debut in October, keeping on not knocked about. Up in trip. The mount of Frankie Dettori from yard's 3 runners. Likely to have a big say. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (5) (14/1 +36%) Ghara |
14/1(+36%) | (5) Ghara 14/1, 14/1, sixth of 14 in novice at Kempton (1m) on debut in November, staying on not knocked about. Up in trip on return. Open to improvement. One of 3 runners for a stable with a good record in this contest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the information provided, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well. However, some horses with good potential or previous strong performances include 2.75/1 Shining Jewel, 4.5/1 Mistral Star, 6/1 Shiva Shakti, 6/1 Maman Joon, 7/1 Beccara Rose, 12/1 Queen Emma, 22/1 Eastern Empress, and 40/1 Night At Sea. Ultimately, it will depend on various factors such as form, conditions, and jockey performance on the day of the race.
A few of these are entered in the Epsom Oaks including SHIVA SHAKTI, who made a debut full of promise when runner-up to a stablemate at Yarmouth. The Gosdens' daughter of Siyouni is expected to relish this step up in trip and she is narrowly preferred to Shining Jewel, who offered a lot of encouragement when third on her introduction at Nottingham. Closely related to the yard's Dante winner Telecaster, Mistral Star is capable of being in the shake-up, along with Value Added.
A cracking maiden. The Gosden stable has won this 4 times since 2017 so the suggestion is SHIVA SHAKTI who made a very promising start to her career when second at Yarmouth last autumn and is the mount of Frankie Dettori from the stable's 3 runners. Value Added, a very promising second on her course debut last year, Shining Jewel and the selection's stablemate Eastern Empress are others who look to have bright futures, while Queen Emma and Maman Joon are newcomers to moinitor in the betting.
A warm maiden in which the percentage call goes to VALUE ADDED, with Shiva Shakti second choice ahead of Shining Jewel.

1st (3) (1/1 -49%) Military Order |
1/1(-49%) | (3) Military Order 1/1, Brother to Derby and King George VI winner Adayar. Beaten at short odds first time out but quickly made amends at Newmarket 6 months ago. Should do better up in trip and yard does well at this time of year. Big player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Exoplanet |
4.5/1(+36%) | (2) Exoplanet 4.5/1, Son of Sea The Stars who looked good when making a winning debut at Newmarket but found the Autumn Stakes there a bit too much too early in his development. Has been off 6 months since and the longer trip should suit, so very much one to consider. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2.5/1 +50%) Chesspiece |
2.5/1(+50%) | (1) Chesspiece 2.5/1, Has an appealing middle-distance pedigree and overcame greenness to make a successful start at Newcastle 161 days. Open to improvment and should take a hand. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (18/1 +55%) Trust House |
18/1(+55%) | (7) Trust House 18/1, 115,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega gelding. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to 1¼m/11f winner Michelangelo and 1¼m winner Private Secretary (both smart) out of useful 2-y-o 8.5f winner (stayed 1½m) Intrigued. Tricky assignment for debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (12/1 +0%) Arkendale |
12/1(+0%) | (5) Arkendale 12/1, Shaped well on debut then found improvement when fourth in a listed contest at Pontefract 6 months ago. Type to make a better 3yo and warrants consideration. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
It is hard to predict with certainty, but based on the information provided, Adayar seems like the strongest choice as he is already a 1/1 Military Order Brother to Derby and King George VI winner, and has shown potential by making amends quickly after being beaten in his first race. The fact that his yard does well at this time of year further strengthens his chances. However, 4.5/1 Exoplanet also seems like a potential contender as he has a strong pedigree and has previously won a race at Newmarket.
A beaten favourite on both of his starts to date, RAJASTHAN is taken to get off the mark at the third time of asking. He kept on well behind Cicero's Gift here when last seen, with that rival going on to follow up. His debut third behind subsequent Horris Hill winner Knight was no disgrace either, and a step up in trip should really suit the son of Dubawi. Military Order merits respect for the lethal Charlie Appleby/William Buick combination, while others of interest include Newcastle scorer Chesspiece and Exoplanet.
MILITARY ORDER's debut form is strong and he made no mistake at the second attempt, readily off the mark at Newmarket 6 months ago. This longer trip will suit and this brother to Adayar is likely to thrive as a 3yo, so he gets the nod in this fascinating contest. Debut-winner Chesspiece is feared and Exoplanet remains with potential back down in grade.
Most have a similar chance on 2yo form and assessing degrees of promise is not easy, but CHESSPIECE is preferred to Military Order.

1st (10) (2.2/1 +20%) Novel Legend |
2.2/1(+20%) | (10) Novel Legend 2.2/1, Improved in handicaps in the second half of last season, opening his account at Chester (14.4f, good to soft) in September before going close upped to 2m at Newmarket. Made a winning reappearance at Kempton last month, for which a 4 lb rise is fair and he remains unexposed at this trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 +22%) Call My Bluff |
7/1(+22%) | (7) Call My Bluff 7/1, Winless last season but posted solid efforts in defeat when placed in the Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket and a good-quality Chester handicap in September. Below par in the Cesarewitch itself on final run of 2022 but could have a part to play if fully tuned-up for this with trip/ground ideal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (8.5/1 -6%) Zain Nights |
8.5/1(-6%) | (9) Zain Nights 8.5/1, Showed good attitude to score over 1½m in first-time cheekpieces here last summer (form figures at this course read 1221) and largely creditable efforts at up to 2m thereafter (excuses when mid-field tried in blinkers at York on final 2022 start). Goes without headgear now and improvement needed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 +40%) Prince Alex |
12/1(+40%) | (5) Prince Alex 12/1, Highly progressive in 2020, winning 5 handicaps on the bounce, and landed a big pot at Glorious Goodwood the following year. However, fair bit to prove starting out for new yard here on the back of an 11-month absence having finished down the field on sole start for Johnny Murtagh last spring. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (8/1 +11%) Secret Shadow |
8/1(+11%) | (6) Secret Shadow 8/1, Four-time winner for Andrew Balding, the latest a 1¾m Goodwood handicap last August. Failed to land a blow both subsequent starts in 2022 but she's interesting nonetheless on debut for the Paul Nicholls yard, particularly as she goes well fresh and has a good record on slow ground. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (10/1 -67%) Aztec Empire |
10/1(-67%) | (4) Aztec Empire 10/1, Significant step forward when landing a 10-runner Kempton handicap on first attempt at this trip in February. Proved something of a let-down over the same C&D since but this low-mileage 4-y-o remains of interest and he shaped well sole previous start on turf in a Sandown maiden at 2 yrs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (5.5/1 +45%) Mostly Sunny |
5.5/1(+45%) | (11) Mostly Sunny 5.5/1, Firmly back on track with blinkers enlisted on final 2 starts of last season, good second in a handicap here (13.3f, heavy) prior to going one better in decisive fashion upped to 16.2f at Newcastle. Stamina is clearly his forte and entirely possible that he will have more to offer as a 4-y-o. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (9/1 -125%) Vino Victrix |
9/1(-125%) | (3) Vino Victrix 9/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign, winner of 2m Goodwood handicap and runner-up on 3 occasions, most notably in the 21-runner Cesarewitch at Newmarket. That form is among the best on offer here but soft ground would be cause for concern. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (25/1 +24%) Prince Imperial |
25/1(+24%) | (2) Prince Imperial 25/1, Good second in the Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket in September and landed a 6-runner Nottingham handicap (1¾m, heavy) the following month. Recent hurdles efforts haven't been overly inspiring, though, and he may be a shade too high in the weights for now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (20/1 -67%) Star Caliber |
20/1(-67%) | (8) Star Caliber 20/1, Drawn a blank since debut win in autumn 2020 but he's pretty useful and was a good third in a valuable Chester handicap on final run of a light campaign last season. Resumes on a workable mark for new connections and won't be far away if fit enough to do himself justice. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, some horses to consider are 2.2/1 Novel Legend, 5.5/1 Mostly Sunny, 9/1 Vino Victrix, and 20/1 Star Caliber. 2.2/1 Novel Legend has shown improvement in handicaps and remains unexposed at the current trip. 5.5/1 Mostly Sunny has shown promise with blinkers enlisted and stamina being his forte. 9/1 Vino Victrix enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign and has shown good form in runner-up finishes in big races. 20/1 Star Caliber was a good third in a valuable Chester handicap and resumes on a workable mark for new connections.
NOVEL LEGEND made a successful return to action when winning at Kempton last month and the James Fanshawe-trained son of Nathaniel, who remains open to plenty of improvement over marathon trips, is expected to continue his progression and repeat the dose. Aztec Empire is similarly unexposed and must enter calculations for his in-form yard. Vino Victrix, who struck the woodwork in last year's Cesarewitch from 3lb lower, should not be far away either.
NOVEL LEGEND picked up where he left off last term by landing a 2m Kempton handicap on his reappearance and, though now 4 lb higher in a stronger race, he looks the way to go with further progress likely at this trip. There will be a question mark surrounding Vino Victrix should the word 'soft' appear in the going description, as seems likely, but such conditions will be of no concern to the likes of Mostly Sunny, Secret Shadow and Star Caliber, and they are feared most in that order.

1st (5) (9/1 +59%) Scholarship |
9/1(+59%) | (5) Scholarship 9/1, Posted fairly-useful form when making a winning start at Haydock (6f) last May but proved disappointing both outings subsequently and has a bit to prove now. Gelded since last seen. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (12/1 +25%) Hectic |
12/1(+25%) | (3) Hectic 12/1, Made winning debut here (6f) last summer but didn't progress over longer trip final 2 starts and doesn't look particularly well treated on switch to handicapping here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (2/1 -6%) Tafreej |
2/1(-6%) | (7) Tafreej 2/1, Built on promising effort at this course when taking 9-runner minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft, 5/6) in October. Likely more to come on return/handicap bow. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/1 +50%) Dark Thirty |
9/1(+50%) | (2) Dark Thirty 9/1, Made winning debut here last May but hasn't added to that victory in half a dozen outings since and lacks potential of some of his rivals here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/1 -11%) Lord Uhtred |
5/1(-11%) | (4) Lord Uhtred 5/1, Progressed with each start last term, culminating with victory in 11-runner minor event at Kempton (7f) 7 months ago. Remains open to improvement on return/handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (4.5/1 +0%) Tiriac |
4.5/1(+0%) | (9) Tiriac 4.5/1, Much improved when decisively taking 9-runner maiden at Doncaster (6f, heavy, 5/1) in November. Remains low mileage and warrants respect on handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (25/1 -127%) Captain Cuddles |
25/1(-127%) | (6) Captain Cuddles 25/1, Off the mark at third time of asking in 7-runner minor event at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July. Sent handicapping now but no guarantee return to 7f will suit (boasts speedy pedigree). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (5.5/1 +31%) Little Edi |
5.5/1(+31%) | (10) Little Edi 5.5/1, Upped his form a notch this year, following up his Kempton return victory over this trip with a good second of 7 in handicap over same C&D 23 days ago. One for the shortlist. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Based on the summary, 2/1 Tafreej and 5.5/1 Little Edi seem to be the strongest contenders for success. 2/1 Tafreej has already won at the course and is expected to improve on his return, while 5.5/1 Little Edi has shown improved form recently and finished second in a handicap race over the same course and distance just 23 days ago. 4.5/1 Tiriac and 5/1 Lord Uhtred also have potential and warrant consideration, but 9/1 Dark Thirty and 9/1 Scholarship may not be as competitive. 12/1 Hectic and 25/1 Captain Cuddles are both making their handicap debut and may be less likely to win.
An open event in which there are plenty of potential improvers, so only a tentative vote can go to CAPTAIN CUDDLES. He contested a couple of warm events before notching up his breakthrough victory at Salisbury last summer, and it would be no surprise were he to prove better than an opening mark of 85. Top-weight Caragio demands respect on his handicap bow, having finished a creditable fourth in the Horris Hill here when last seen. Tafreej, who should relish a step up in trip, must not be underestimated, with Lord Uhtred and Dark Thirty others to note.
This can go to TAFREEJ, who looks a good prospect for handicaps this season, particularly now stepped up in trip. Little Edi and Lord Uhtred head the list of dangers.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It is difficult to predict which of these fillies will do well without more information, as their potential success will depend on a variety of factors such as training, form, and competition. However, based solely on breeding, the 3.2/1 Fakhama Kingman filly and the 6/1 Valtellina Caravaggio filly appear to have promising pedigrees.
A full-sister to Group 3 winner Light Refrain, GENTLE LIGHT can make a successful start to her racing career. Her dam was a Listed winner over C&D, so the Sir Michael Stoute-trained daughter of Frankel is certainly bred to be good. Mother Margaret is well related and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Fakhama is a half-sister to the stable's classy handicapper Mujtaba. Laura's Breeze and Just A Notion made six-figure sums and warrant consideration too.
The market should provide plenty of clues in this field of unraced fillies, with FAKHAMA making the most appeal on pedigree being by Kingman and out of a dual Grade 1 winner in South Africa. Gentle Light is another likely type being a sister to the smart Light Refrain, while Mother Margaret is another with an appealing pedigree.
The best options may be FAKHAMA for William Haggas and Gentle Light for Sir Michael Stoute.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as it only provides limited information about each horse's breeding and background. However, some horses that may be worth watching include: - 3.5/1 (5) Heavenly Wish: This filly is a half-sister to a 2-year-old winner and her dam is a half-sister to two smart winners. This suggests a good pedigree for success. - 4.5/1 (3) Eleutheromania: This filly is a half-sister to a winner and her dam is a half-sister to a smart winner. Additionally, her dam's third-place finish in the 1000 Guineas suggests a good level of ability. - 10/1 (9) Tuki Tuki: This filly is a half-sister to two winners and her dam was a winner up to 1 1/8 miles. This suggests an ability to stay at longer distances. - 12/1 (2) Dalrymple: This filly is a half-sister to three winners, including a very
ELEUTHEROMANIA boasts an appealing pedigree, with her dam a half-sister to Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Denebola and French Group 3 winner Loving Kindness. Sir Michael Stoute's team is off to a flyer and this daughter of Invincible Spirit can do the same. Reminder is a half-sister to former smart stayer Call To Mind, as well as Group 3 winner Recorder, so she makes plenty of appeal. Heartbreaking completes the shortlist.
Like the first division, the market should prove to be informative, with Dubawi filly REMINDER making the most appeal on paper. Eleutheromania is another likely type, while Dalrymple has an appealing pedigree being a half-sister to the very smart Dal Harraild.
The pick on pedigree looks to be the Andrew Balding-trained Dubawi filly REMINDER. Eleutheromania's connections won the Wood Ditton.

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.
