1st (2)  (5.5/1 +8%)Betties Bay |
5.5/1(+8%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Betties Bay 5.5/1, Cable Bay filly who could never land a blow when fifteenth of 26 to Crimson Advocate in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Not discounted back in these calmer waters. Found Royal Ascot too hot but was a promising second of 15 over C&D on debut. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/1 -29%)Bourgeoisie |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bourgeoisie 9/1, 14/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 8 days ago. This Siyouni filly can take a step forward. Out of a useful 6f 2yo winner; shaped with clear promise when fifth on Newmarket debut. |
|||
3rd (8)  (1.1/1 +45%)Gushing Gold |
1.1/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gushing Gold 1.1/1, Blue Point filly who has shown plenty on both her starts, ninth of 17 to Porta Fortuna in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. She sets a good standard. Clear second on debut and not discredited at Royal Ascot since; leading contender. |
|||
6th (6)  (22/1 -57%)Eleftheria |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eleftheria 22/1, 10/1, encouraging debut fifth of 7 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 55 days ago. Open to progress so she's in the mix. Showed her inexperience but also some ability when fifth of seven at Goodwood. |
|||
7th (1)  (16/1 +11%)Ahlain |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ahlain 16/1, Foaled March 3. Too Darn Hot filly. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m out of useful 1¼m/10.3f winner Queen of Pentacles. Yard capable of readying a newcomer. Possibilities. Third foal of a fair 1m2f winner; may not be seen to best effect until upped in trip. |
|||
9th (9)  (66/1 -100%)Jakima |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Jakima 66/1, Twice-raced filly. 10/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Not disgraced on either start but improvement required here. |
|||
11th (7)  (200/1 -150%)Flemish |
200/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Flemish 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 18/1, last of 8 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Lots more is required. Made reasonably encouraging debut on AW in June; came home in own time here two weeks ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Gushing Gold was not disgraced in the Albany at Royal Ascot last time and Andrew Balding's filly merits the utmost respect back down in grade here. That said, a chance can be taken with BOURGEOISIE, who caught the eye when fifth on debut in a valuable maiden at Newmarket last week. The daughter of Siyouni may improve significantly for that experience and she should not be underestimated. Betties Bay and Eleftheria are others with valid form claims, while Pannonica and Raqiya look to be best of the newcomers.
GUSHING GOLD has a lot less on her plate than when in midfield in the Albany so looks the way to go unless one of the newcomers proves well above average. Raqiya and Pannonica appeal most of those starting out here and could emerge as the main threats to Andrew Balding's fairly useful filly in that order.
After a perfectly respectable ninth at Royal Ascot last month, GUSHING GOLD can now deliver on her debut promise.

3rd (7)  (1.88/1 -50%)Maximum Dividend |
1.88/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Maximum Dividend 1.88/1, Sent off at 33/1 but shaped very well when narrowly denied on his 7f Sandown debut 14 days ago. Hard to beat if making the anticipated improvement. Made a very promising debut at Sandown; the pick of the runners with experience. |
|||
8th (9)  (66/1 +0%)Standbackandlook |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Standbackandlook 66/1, 66/1, finished 10 lengths behind Maximum Dividend when last of 10 on his Sandown debut (7f, good) 14 days ago. Finished about 10l behind Maximum Dividend at Sandown; best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MAXIMUM DIVIDEND was only denied by a nose when a fast-finishing second on his racecourse debut at Sandown a couple of weeks ago. Richard Hannon's colt should only improve for that experience and he could prove tough to beat if doing so. There are plenty of well-bred newcomers in this field, but Trafalgar Square is arguably the most noteworthy being a 600,000gns half-brother to the recent Jersey winner Age Of Kings. Boiling Point and King Of Luck, who was also an expensive purchase at 325,000gns, are others who make the shortlist.
MAXIMUM DIVIDEND has to be the call on the back of his promising debut second at Sandown a couple of weeks ago but there are a number of likely types among the newcomers. Trafalgar Square, King of Luck and Boiling Point are perhaps the most interesting of those debutants but the betting will provide more clues.
Maximum Dividend is the form horse, while BOILING POINT and Trafalgar Square are particularly interesting among the newcomers.

1st (10)  (0.73/1 +20%)Warm Spell |
0.73/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Warm Spell 0.73/1, Mehmas colt who is from an excellent family and made a positive start when runner-up at Goodwood last month. Plenty of improvement expected, so should be able to open his account at the second attempt. Promising second at Goodwood and should progress; the pick of the runners with experience. |
|||
6th (3)  (7.5/1 +32%)Blue Collar |
7.5/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Blue Collar 7.5/1, From a good family and didn't have a hard race when seventh in a novice at Sandown a fortnight ago. Might ultimately need further, though. May do better with Sandown debut experience under his belt. |
|||
9th (4)  (12/1 -9%)Double Jump |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Double Jump 12/1, Bettered debut form when fifth at this course last time and another step forward would give him half a chance. Handicaps may prove his ideal scene shortly but this step up to 7f looks beneficial. |
|||
10th (2)  (7.5/1 -50%)Bjorn Ironside |
7.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bjorn Ironside 7.5/1, Too Darn Hot colt with speed on the dam's side of his pedigree. Offered a bit to work on when sixth in maiden at Haydock a couple of months ago but has something to find. Hindered by a tardy start at Haydock two months ago; form boosted since; may well improve. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WARM SPELL clearly sets the standard having chased home an above-average rival on his debut over 6f at Goodwood last month. The son of Mehmas should have no problem seeing out the extra furlong here and he looks to have a bright future. Thyer shares his page with some top-class performers and it would be no surprise to see him go well, despite his lack of race experience. Mai Dubai was a 200,000-pound purchase last year and has to be of some interest as a result, while Grand Karat and Maxim De Winter both require market inspections.
WARM SPELL is in good hands and made a pleasing start at Goodwood, so he's the obvious answer to what should be an informative novice. Allegorical makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and Thyer strikes as another interesting newcomer for a top stable.
The second division of a traditionally smart novice event. WARM SPELL is first choice ahead of newcomer Thyer.

1st (6)  (1.38/1 +39%)Fox Journey |
1.38/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fox Journey 1.38/1, Showed ability all 3 starts at 2 yrs and made a successful handicap debut upped to 1¼m on return at Newmarket. Subsequent efforts at Epsom and most recently over this trip at Pontefract were creditable, and he has to enter calculations. Won on handicap debut and both runs since were very respectable; still has potential. |
|||
2nd (7)  (11/1 -10%)Sovereign Spirit |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sovereign Spirit 11/1, Three 1½m handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley where he narrowly prevailed last month. By no means disgraced at Goodwood next time but he's probably a shade too high in the weights for now. Three wins this year; only fourth on latest outing but further progress remains possible. |
|||
3rd (9)  (4.5/1 -50%)Dasho Lennie |
4.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dasho Lennie 4.5/1, Built on promise of sole 2-y-o start when getting on top close home in a 1¼m AW novice in March. No backward steps switched to handicaps the last twice, latterly chasing home an improver upped to this trip at Leicester, and he remains with potential. Creditable fourth on handicap debut; bumped into a progressive rival when second latest. |
|||
4th (10)  (7.5/1 +38%)Cavern Club |
7.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Cavern Club 7.5/1, Winner of an 11f Kempton nursery in December and reappearance third at Newmarket was a decent effort. However, plenty to find with Dasho Lennie judged on latest effort at Leicester (tried in blinkers/hood) where he again didn't look at all straightforward. Cheekpieces refitted. AW nursery winner in December; ran okay on both turf starts this year; could have a say. |
|||
5th (11)  (4.5/1 +25%)Brave Knight |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Brave Knight 4.5/1, As expected, he stepped up 2-y-o exploits when making a winning return/handicap debut upped to 11.4f at Windsor. Ridden with greater restraint when behind Dasho Lennie off this 5 lb higher mark at Leicester next time but may resume progress granted a return to more positive tactics here. Won when upped in trip for handicap debut; below that form since but remains of interest. |
|||
6th (2)  (14/1 -40%)Temporize |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Temporize 14/1, Winner of first 2 starts last season and has returned from a break with creditable placed efforts in handicaps at Newmarket (1¾m) and Doncaster (16.5f) for Charlie Johnston. Drop back in trip unlikely to be an issue and merits respect on debut for new yard. Comes here after two good runs from the front this summer; recently bought for 32,000gns. |
|||
7th (3)  (40/1 -150%)Isle Of Sark |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Isle Of Sark 40/1, Failed to add to 2-y-o debut success for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland. Stepped up on his debut for this yard when third at Nottingham (1¾m) last month but subsequently failed to fire when well adrift of Temporize at Doncaster. Now tried in a hood and tongue strap refitted, too. Safely held over 2m recently but has claims if judged on last month's 1m6f third. |
|||
8th (13)  (50/1 -52%)Ithaca's Arrow |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Ithaca's Arrow 50/1, Improved form when scoring on the AW at Lingfield in May but subsequent efforts have not been at all inspiring (gelded since latest start). Began season with 1m4f AW novice win but soundly beaten in two turf handicaps since. |
|||
9th (12)  (16/1 +52%)Enochdhu |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Enochdhu 16/1, Won in ready fashion at Windsor in May and ran at least as well upped to 1¾m when second of 4 in handicap at Sandown next time. Latest effort at Salisbury was too bad to be true but it nevertheless leaves him with a bit to prove. Has 3-9 strike-rate but didn't fire last time and may find others better handicapped. |
|||
10th (1)  (50/1 -100%)Red Flyer |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Red Flyer 50/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign but was put in his place back from a break at Newmarket and remains 5 lb above last winning mark. Didn't run badly at Newmarket last month but less-exposed rivals appeal much more. |
|||
11th (5)  (22/1 -10%)Open Champion |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Open Champion 22/1, Winner of an AW maiden Roger Varian last year and caught the eye on first start on the Flat for this yard at Kempton (11f) in April. Well below par both starts since but the handicapper has reacted accordingly and he's certainly not one to write off just yet. Ran okay when back on the Flat in April but two down-the-field finishes have followed. |
|||
12th (8)  (125/1 -89%)Caraghann |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Caraghann 125/1, Fair form in France but he has failed to beat a rival home in 3 starts for present connections. Placed in France last year but has struggled on all three British starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Fox Journey finished a decent fourth in deeper waters at Pontefract on his most recent outing and must enter calculations if building on that run, even though he loses Harry Davies' 3lb claim here. However, it could be worth taking a chance on the fellow class-dropping ENOCHDHU. Jonathan Portman's three-year-old has dropped to 4lb above his last winning mark, which came over an extended 1m3f at Windsor in May, and is fancied to bounce back from a disappointing showing at Salisbury last month. The unexposed Brave Knight is another to consider.
There is probably better to come from DASHO LENNIE over this trip and he gets the nod ahead of Fox Journey. The selection chased home a rapid-improver in Fairbanks (winner again since) off this mark on his first attempt at 1½m at Leicester where he had a few of these rivals behind. Fox Journey also acquitted himself well upped to this trip for the first time at Pontefract and is likely to offer stern resistance, while Open Champion and Temporize both make each-way appeal.
Another chance can be given to FOX JOURNEY, who was shuffled back to a poor position before staying on well for fourth at Pontefract.

1st (1)  (4.5/1 +18%)Night Sparkle |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Night Sparkle 4.5/1, Backed up success over hurdles with decisive victory in 12-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (13.7f, good) 35 days ago. 10 lb higher now but must be respected. Comfortable win at Fairyhouse last month and looks open to further progress; respected. |
|||
2nd (9)  (6.5/1 +59%)Flash Bardot |
6.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Flash Bardot 6.5/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (9/1) at Epsom (12f, good) 8 days ago. Carries 6 lb penalty in deeper contest now, though. Successful at Epsom last week; now upped two grades but her consistency is an asset. |
|||
3rd (7)  (5.5/1 +50%)Divina Grace |
5.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Divina Grace 5.5/1, Resumed with 10f success at Chepstow before posting a good second of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good) 28 days ago. This looks tougher but she ought to give another good account. Now upped further in grade/distance but can't be dismissed in current form. |
|||
4th (6)  (3.6/1 -3%)Flower Of Dubai |
3.6/1(-3%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Flower Of Dubai 3.6/1, Winner of 11f Kempton maiden on debut and progressed nicely since, latest when very good second of 11 in Haydock handicap (14f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Likely contender. Progressive filly who ran well (clear second) in valuable contest at Haydock last time. |
|||
5th (2)  (12/1 +25%)Secret Shadow |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Secret Shadow 12/1, Four-time winner for Andrew Balding, the latest a 1¾m Goodwood handicap last August. However, failed to land a blow both subsequent starts in 2022 and finished well held on debut for new yard here in April. Has won over C&D but is ground dependent (needs softer than good); second run for new yard. |
|||
6th (5)  (1.88/1 +16%)Spring Fever |
1.88/1(+16%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Spring Fever 1.88/1, Progressive filly who scored for second time when taking 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 20 days ago, plenty in hand. 10 lb higher now but more improvement is on the way. Improving filly who scored emphatically at Newmarket most recently; major contender. |
|||
7th (4)  (28/1 +44%)Tashi |
28/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tashi 28/1, Just the 1 win from 21 starts for Sheila Lavery in Ireland but shaped encouragingly, on back of 6 months off, when third for new yard at Epsom (12f) in April. However, wasn't in same form at Kempton latest and now tried in hood. Well exposed; chance depends on how she responds to first-time hood. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
NIGHT SPARKLE made a pleasing return to the Flat when bolting up over a similar trip at Fairyhouse last month. The fact she was eased towards the finish suggests the daughter of Postponed has much more to offer, despite a 10lb hike for that success. The four-year-old is taken to get the better of the lightly-campaigned Flower Of Dubai, who was headed towards the finish in tougher company over 1m6f at Haydock most recently. Spring Fever and Secret Shadow are others to consider.
SPRING FEVER is going the right way and can defy a 10 lb rise for her comfortable Newmarket victory. Flower of Dubai and Alba Longa head the list of dangers.
This looks between the most progressive contenders in the field, namely FLOWER OF DUBAI, Spring Fever and Night Sparkle.

(10)  (12/1 -200%)Palmar Bay |
12/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Palmar Bay 12/1, Showed ability amidst obvious signs of inexperience when second on debut at Windsor (5f, heavy) in May and duly proved much sharper when going one place better in a Salisbury novice (5f) later that month. Step up in trip a likely plus and there's better to come. Salisbury success is strong form, as he beat the subsequent July Stakes winner; respected. |
|||
1st (1)  (14/1 +22%)Action Point |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Action Point 14/1, Athletic sort who clearly knew his job when scoring decisively on debut at Kempton (5f) in April. Similar form when second in class 2 at Ascot and had excuses in the Windsor Castle since. Drawn on the wrong side in the Windsor Castle but was only fifth of six in his group. |
|||
2nd (12)  (4/1 +27%)Shagraan |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Shagraan 4/1, €35,000 foal, £80,000 yearling, Sioux Nation colt. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Better for debut when winning 6f Windsor novice in good style 3 weeks ago. Could be useful. Won well at Windsor on second outing and looks another promising 2yo for his connections. |
|||
3rd (2)  (1.25/1 +23%)Asadna |
1.25/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Asadna 1.25/1, 160,000 gns 2-y-o colt by Mehmas who produced an excellent timefigure when making a winning debut at Ripon. Failed to repeat that form in a much deeper line-up when mid-field in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but worth another chance in this lesser contest for new yard. Very impressive at Ripon; Coventry flop can be excused; still of major interest; new yard. |
|||
4th (9)  (66/1 -32%)Odonnell's Orchard |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Odonnell's Orchard 66/1, €32,000 foal, 65,000 gns yearling, Invincible Army colt. Closely related to French 9.5f winner City of Women and half-brother to several winners, including useful 5f/6f winner From Me To Me. Showed ability when fourth of 8 in C&D novice (good to firm, 33/1) 15 days ago but this is a big ask. Clear signs of ability in C&D novice event but this looks a stiff task on second run. |
|||
5th (6)  (28/1 -12%)Inishfallen |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Inishfallen 28/1, All the better for debut when winning 11-runner maiden (11/2) at Kempton (6f) 23 days ago. Should improve again but this looks very competitive. Won at Kempton (AW) last time; well down this pack on form but may improve further. |
|||
6th (3)  (6.5/1 +28%)Balon D'Or |
6.5/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Balon D'Or 6.5/1, Bred to be sharp and certainly knew what was required when landing 8-runner novice at Musselburgh on debut. Best effort since when runner-up in class 2 event at Epsom penultimate start. Others have more potential. Proving useful and consistent; fourth in Group 3 last time; again has frame possibilities. |
|||
7th (4)  (12/1 -20%)Dapper Valley |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dapper Valley 12/1, Bred to be an early type and knew his job when making a winning debut at Newbury (5f, heavy) in April. Easy to forgive subsequent run in Sandown listed event a month later (rider reported rein broke) and he remains with good deal of potential. Won readily at this course then had an excuse in the National Stakes; retains potential. |
|||
8th (8)  (14/1 -17%)Markakol |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Markakol 14/1, 350,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner colt. Dam, winner up to 5.5f (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart 5f-6f winner Tone The Barone. Better for debut when winning 5f Newcastle novice in decisive fashion. Highly likely to progress again. Took well to the hood at Newcastle (AW) where he won going away; more to come. |
|||
9th (7)  (16/1 -14%)Kinnigoli Kid |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kinnigoli Kid 16/1, 85,000 gns yearling, €120,000 2-y-o, No Nay Never colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Duke of Mantua and half-brother to several winners, including 7f-1¼m winner Turning Top. Won 9-runner maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 13/2) on debut 25 days ago. This much tougher but he has potential. 120,000euros 2yo; driven out to make a winning debut at Windsor; open to progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
ASADNA was a very taking winner on his racecourse debut when scoring by 12 lengths over 6f at Ripon before running with credit in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, following an interrupted preparation, and he looks the one to beat. That race at the Royal meeting is working out well with multiple winners coming out of the contest and Alice Haynes' runner could easily follow suit. Balon D'or is likely to ask the most questions after a decent fourth in a Group 3 at Chantilly, while Markakol should also be thereabouts.
ASADNA failed to meet expectations in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but is worth another chance to confirm debut promise down in class. Shagraan looked good when winning at Windsor so rates the main threat ahead of Markakol, who should continue to progress.
The vote goes to PALMAR BAY (nap), who should have plenty more to offer. Shagraan and Asadna are respected.

(14)  (25/1 +62%)Tea Sea |
25/1(+62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Tea Sea 25/1, Hinted at ability in 3 runs at Kempton last year and not disgraced when seventh over C&D on handicap debut. Could do with his mark dropping, though. Only seventh over C&D on seasonal/handicap debut but might come on for the run. |
|||
1st (3)  (5.5/1 -65%)Isle Of Jura |
5.5/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Isle Of Jura 5.5/1, Unexposed and didn't have a hard time when a promising fourth in a novice at Wolverhampton last month. Bred to be much better than a BHA mark of 71, so merits respect with progress on the cards. Ran on well for fourth in 7f AW novice last month; back up in trip for handicap debut. |
|||
2nd (12)  (12/1 +0%)Al Hargah |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Al Hargah 12/1, 16/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago, responding well. Hasn't been the most reliable to date, so not certain to back that up. Came good in 0-60 at Leicester this month, her eighth run; more will be needed here. |
|||
3rd (9)  (6/1 +14%)Vegas Jack |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Vegas Jack 6/1, Good neck second of 8 to Racing Demon in handicap (85/40) at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 23 days ago, conceding first run. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Went close at Salisbury last month; has big role to play if aided by new cheekpieces. |
|||
4th (10)  (8.5/1 -21%)Outgun |
8.5/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Outgun 8.5/1, Positives to glean from his 3 starts on the AW last year and duly upped his game with a highly-encouraging third over C&D on reappearance, the first home in his group. Could get off the mark with further progress on the cards. Good third over C&D on seasonal/handicap debut and likely to build on that effort. |
|||
5th (1)  (7.5/1 +66%)Zabbie |
7.5/1(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zabbie 7.5/1, Juvenile winner over 7f but starting to look pretty exposed, fifth in handicap at Leicester 13 days ago. Vulnerable to better-handicapped rivals. Yet to win this season but went close off 3lb higher in May and is unexposed over 1m. |
|||
6th (8)  (11/1 +31%)Playupskyblues |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Playupskyblues 11/1, Opened his account at the third attempt in novice at Redcar last year but down the field off what looked a stiff mark on handicap debut at Newmarket 3 months. Tried in tongue strap but needs to improve. 2yo winner in October but ran poorly on seasonal/handicap debut in April; had wind op. |
|||
7th (15)  (9/1 -29%)Racing Demon |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Racing Demon 9/1, Going the right way lately, scoring at Chepstow then digging deep to supplement it at Salisbury last time, This is much tougher but he deserves respect. More exposed than most of these but won twice last month and can't be ignored. |
|||
8th (2)  (50/1 +0%)City Cyclone |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) City Cyclone 50/1, Fair maiden who is beginning to look quite well established and wasn't really on his game when fifth at Windsor last time. Drops back in trip on first run for new yard. Safely held on handicap debut in May (11.4f); drops back in trip for this stable debut. |
|||
9th (4)  (7.5/1 +17%)Ashmore |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ashmore 7.5/1, Excellent second on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m) and back on track when fourth at Newmarket last time. Unproven over this far but can't be ruled out with few miles on the clock. Quickly back on track with close fourth at Newmarket last month and enters calculations. |
|||
10th (7)  (28/1 +30%)Roar Emotion |
28/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Roar Emotion 28/1, Improved markedly after 8 months off to make a winning handicap debut in 12-runner event at Kempton in April but failed to back it up when last at this track a couple of months ago. Needs to bounce back after a break. Well beaten after refusing to settle in May but may yet build upon winning h'cap debut. |
|||
11th (17)  (16/1 +27%)Golden Phase |
16/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Golden Phase 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden who shaped well when 4½ lengths fourth of 12 to Clarko's Back in handicap at Kempton on penultimate start. Disappointed here last time and likely to struggle again from just out of the weights. Stayed on for fourth on handicap debut (AW) but recent C&D run was a backward step. |
|||
12th (6)  (12/1 -20%)Intricate Pillar |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Intricate Pillar 12/1, Off the mark at the second attempt last autumn and took another step in the right direction (despite not being seen to best effect) when fourth at Kempton 23 days ago. Could get involved with another improved effort. 7f AW winner; fourth on handicap debut; upped in trip for today's turf debut. |
|||
13th (13)  (22/1 +56%)Gwendolina |
22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Gwendolina 22/1, Made successful handicap debut at Lingfield in January. However, below form switched to turf lately and others are more persuasive. Won on handicap debut in January but yet to make any further progress; others preferred. |
|||
14th (5)  (20/1 +9%)Chindwin |
20/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Chindwin 20/1, Cost plenty as a yearling but failed to pull up any trees in a handful of appearances in 2022 and hasn't fared much better so far this term. Only eighth of ten here (7f) last month and has now been unplaced all five starts. |
|||
15th (11)  (9/1 -125%)Decipher |
9/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Decipher 9/1, Signs of ability in maidens, particularly on debut, and she's bred to be much better than a BHA mark of 65, so worth monitoring in the betting on first go in handicaps. Out of a well-connected mare and has displayed promise in three maidens; handicap debut. |
|||
16th (16)  (80/1 -60%)Fantastic Artist |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Fantastic Artist 80/1, Yet to offer much encouragement and failed to beat a rival on handicap debut at Chepstow last time. Tongue strap tried now but he's hard to make a case for. Last of eight on handicap debut; drops back from 1m2f with tongue-tie added. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
VEGAS JACK has been running consistently well this season and he can go close in this wide-open contest. Adam West's charge was second over 1m at Salisbury last time, beaten just a neck by Racing Demon, who reopposes on this occasion. Ed de Giles' runner is 2lb worse off with that rival which may leave him vulnerable after that meagre success. Isle Of Jura heads the remainder.
OUTGUN was the best of those that came up the centre when third in a C&D handicap last month and, if more goes his way, this progressive gelding might well be able to open his account. Vegas Jack shaped well behind Racing Demon (who re-opposes) at Salisbury last time, so he's a danger, while Isle of Jura is a notable handicap debutant.
Top of the list is OUTGUN, who posted a good effort when placed over C&D on his seasonal/handicap debut and may well improve further.

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.
