Chiedozie |
(2) (7.5/1 +6%)7.5/1(+6%) | (2) Chiedozie 7.5/1, Advertise colt who failed to build on an encouraging debut when only fourth of 9 in 6f novice event at Windsor 3 weeks ago. Still early days and may yet do better. Clear ability in two starts at Windsor; will probably need more but Buick has been booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (12) (7.5/1 -25%) Sketch |
7.5/1(-25%) | (12) Sketch 7.5/1, Foaled February 13. 100,000 gns yearling, Showcasing colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Prolific. Interesting newcomer. 100,000gns Showcasing colt for a yard that has recent winning form in this race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (25/1 -56%) Government Call |
25/1(-56%) | (5) Government Call 25/1, Foaled February 3. Soldier's Call colt. Dam winner up to 7f (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart 7f winner Larchmont Lad. Yard has a useful 2yo under its care so a market move for this one would be interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (11/1 +21%) Gunfighter |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Gunfighter 11/1, Foaled March 21. €45,000 2-y-o, Siyouni colt. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner out of smart winner up to 12.5f (2-y-o 7f winner) Sea of Heartbreak. First foal of a useful 2yo 7f winner; betting should provide more clues. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (8.5/1 +53%) Drama |
8.5/1(+53%) | (4) Drama 8.5/1, Foaled March 8. 27,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to winner abroad by Showcasing. Sharp pedigree and one to note in the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (5/1 +33%) Debora's Dream |
5/1(+33%) | (3) Debora's Dream 5/1, Foaled April 30. £25,000 yearling, 40,000 gns 2-y-o, Sioux Nation colt. Half-brother to 7f/1m winner Sandy Paradise. One to note on debut. From leading yard and would very much enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (20/1 +29%) Ippotheos |
20/1(+29%) | (8) Ippotheos 20/1, Foaled May 6. €18,000 yearling, €67,000 2-y-o, Cotai Glory gelding. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs). Wears tongue strap. 67,000euros buy in May; wears a tongue-tie for debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (80/1 -142%) Meet Me In Meraki |
80/1(-142%) | (10) Meet Me In Meraki 80/1, Foaled May 6. 9,000 gns foal, 14,000 gns yearling, €18,000 2-y-o, Twilight Son colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Impeachment. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 12.5f, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¾m (stayed 2m) Elegiac. This son of Twilight Son is probably best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (3/1 -9%) Infinity Blue |
3/1(-9%) | (7) Infinity Blue 3/1, Foaled April 23. 250,000 gns yearling, Blue Point colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Xtension. Respected newcomer. Cost 250,000gns and rates a likely type for his leading stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (14/1 +13%) American Bay |
14/1(+13%) | (1) American Bay 14/1, Foaled February 5. 70,000 gns yearling, New Bay colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 9f-11f winner Burgarita. Betting perhaps best guide for stable that has only had a handful of 2yo runners in 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (4/1 +20%) Savvy Kingdom |
4/1(+20%) | (11) Savvy Kingdom 4/1, Land Force colt who produced a promising first effort when third in 9-runner maiden at Windsor (6f) 26 days ago, running on. Will improve. Promise when third on 6f Windsor debut and the form has been franked this week. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SAVVY KINGDOM made a promising start to his career when third over 6f at Windsor last month. Sean Woods' charge was beaten just one and three quarter lengths that day and he's likely to have improved for that experience. Infinity Blue, a son of Blue Point, is of most interest out of the debutants for the powerful combination of Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy, while Chiedozie heads the remainder.
SAVVY KINGDOM shaped well when third on his debut at Windsor last month and may well be able to make his experience count against a field largely consisting of newcomers. Debora's Dream, Sketch and Infinity Blue all make appeal on paper for respected yards and require market checks.
The vote goes to SAVVY KINGDOM after a promising debut although the betting will provide clues with a host of newcomers in the line-up.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (3.33/1 -56%) Al Aasy |
3.33/1(-56%) | (1) Al Aasy 3.33/1, Very talented but no battler, as shown when edged out in Coronation Cup at Epsom and Group 2 at Newmarket in 2021. Resumed winning ways back down in class in listed race at Ascot sole 2022 start but not on a going day after 14 months off at Newmarket earlier this month. Major claims in this. No battler but dual course Group 3 winner; could leave recent comeback run behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/1 +13%) Phantom Flight |
7/1(+13%) | (4) Phantom Flight 7/1, Progressive during his debut season in 2022, winning 3 times, and shaped well on all 3 starts this season, albeit not seen to best effect when down the field at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) earlier this month. Back down in trip and certainly not discounted. Has reached the frame at Listed level on all three runs this year; should be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (6/1 +50%) Oviedo |
6/1(+50%) | (6) Oviedo 6/1, Made a winning debut at Doncaster and has taken his form up a notch this year, suited by step up in trip when doubling his tally on handicap debut at Redcar (10f) in May. Hung violently left when ninth in Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f) so he's tough to fancy. Useful but only ninth in Royal Ascot Group 3 last month; has a bit to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (1.75/1 +30%) Highland Avenue |
1.75/1(+30%) | (3) Highland Avenue 1.75/1, Three-time winner in 2021 and has put up 3 good runs in recent weeks back from a lengthy absence, latest when fourth in listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, good) last month. In the mix back in a small-field scenario. Placed in Epsom Group 3 and Royal Ascot Listed race last month; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 -11%) Dancing Magic |
10/1(-11%) | (5) Dancing Magic 10/1, Remains a maiden but has been highly tried, wasting no time getting back on track in a first-time hood/tongue strap when 4 lengths eighth of 16 to Waipiro in Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, good to firm) last month, confirming his stamina for the trip. More required here. Useful but too free for his own good stepped up to 1m2f last twice; needs to settle better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (6/1 +8%) Epic Poet |
6/1(+8%) | (2) Epic Poet 6/1, Smart performer who landed minor event at Longchamp and listed race at Compiegne in 2022. Placed on final 3 starts for Jean-Claude Rouget and interesting to see what the market makes of him returning from 8 months off for a new yard. 1m2f Listed winner on good to soft in France; interesting contender on return for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Al Aasy is the highest rated of these and he deserves to be taken very seriously, but his last of five over 1m4f at Newmarket earlier this month is a concern, therefore the nod goes to HIGHLAND AVENUE. Charlie Appleby's five-year-old hasn't won for more than two years but he's been running well in defeat this term, most recently when a good fourth in the Wolferton at Ascot. A repeat of that effort wouldn't see him too far away, while Epic Poet is another to note.
A very smart performer in his prime, AL AASY wasn't on a going day on his return from a lengthy absence at Newmarket 3 weeks ago but fancied to leave that effort well behind, William Haggas' 6-y-o can notch a sixth career success at the expense of Highland Avenue, who has returned in good order this season and should be bang there back in this small-field scenario. Phantom Flight can fill out third spot.
Al Aasy is a clear pick at his best but was last of five on his reappearance so it may be worth opposing him with HIGHLAND AVENUE.

1st (12) (2.5/1 +17%) Sweet William |
2.5/1(+17%) | (12) Sweet William 2.5/1, Son of Sea The Stars who finished runner-up first 3 starts and didn't need to improve to open his account in first-time blinkers at Doncaster (11.9f) 15 days ago, heavily eased when clear. Highly likely there's more to come now handicapping up in trip off this mark. Big shout. Unexposed handicap debut and his penultimate effort reads particularly well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (3.5/1 +46%) Novel Legend |
3.5/1(+46%) | (6) Novel Legend 3.5/1, Improving 4-y-o who followed up his AW reappearance success when forging clear to land a C&D handicap in April. Has shaped well in defeat both starts since, likely to have been suited by a stronger gallop when seventh in last month's Ascot Stakes (20f). Remains one to keep on side. 2m4f perhaps a stretch at Ascot and he's a C&D winner; soft ground preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (14/1 +13%) Aztec Empire |
14/1(+13%) | (10) Aztec Empire 14/1, Pair of AW wins at up to 2m at Kempton this year and big effort to finish third under this pilot in the Northumberland Plate on his latest outing 21 days ago. Remains lightly raced on turf (ground an excuse over C&D in May) and rider takes off valuable 3 lb again. 3rd in the Northumberland Plate (AW); has form claims but wouldn't want much rain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (40/1 -21%) Solent Gateway |
40/1(-21%) | (5) Solent Gateway 40/1, Useful staying handicapper. Bagged second victory of 2023 granted the run of the race at Haydock (16.2f) in May but unable to replicate that in stronger company when ninth in Ascot Stakes 920f) 32 days ago. Handicapper probably has him about right. Well held in the Ascot Stakes; career-high mark spells danger in this strong a handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (8.5/1 +47%) Geremia |
8.5/1(+47%) | (13) Geremia 8.5/1, Habitual slow starter but he is proving consistent, picking up second win of the campaign when getting on top late in the day at Ayr (13f) 12 days ago. Return to further will hold no fears but this a good deal more demanding. Slow starter; won at Ayr but this is way deeper and he always comes with risks. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (50/1 -127%) Rainbow Dreamer |
50/1(-127%) | (8) Rainbow Dreamer 50/1, Grand servant to connections who was well suited by the strong pace when back to winning ways in AW conditions' event in April. Kept fresh and ran as well as could be expected when sixth in Northumberland Plate but suspicion he'll be vulnerable to younger rivals once more. Five of his last six wins have come in conditions races and he's better on the AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (5/1 -43%) Nathanael Greene |
5/1(-43%) | (11) Nathanael Greene 5/1, Mainly on the up last season (a dual winner at up to 14f) and hard to knock his efforts in defeat so far this campaign, shaping as if suited by step up to 2m when fourth in Northumberland Plate. First-time blinkers could put an extra edge on him here. Fourth in the AW Plate latest; won't be far away should new blinkers have positive effect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (16/1 +20%) Euchen Glen |
16/1(+20%) | (2) Euchen Glen 16/1, Several big wins in his long career and confirmed himself still capable of useful form aged 10 when fourth in handicap at Ayr (13f) last month. Never figured off steady gallop in Old Newton Cup at Haydock latest but he may just be vulnerable to one or two in any case here. Flashes of good form at about 2m and it could be that he needs a staying trip these days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (25/1 -39%) The Grand Visir |
25/1(-39%) | (3) The Grand Visir 25/1, Stepped up on his comeback in Chester Cup when eighth in Ascot Stakes and, turned out 4 days later, ran a cracker to finish second in Queen Alexandra (21.6f), keeping on well again final 100 yds. Losing run stretches back over 4 years, however. Had another good Royal Ascot over further; solid performer at 2m; not far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (14/1 +30%) Apparate |
14/1(+30%) | (9) Apparate 14/1, Very low-mileage 7-y-o who ran a cracker on first outing since leaving Roger Varian after 20 months off (sold for 55,000 gns) when close second at Doncaster 7 weeks ago. Completely unexposed at this trip so worth a second look in hope he can back that up. Three wins for previous yard; reappearance encouraging and 2m may suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (8/1 +33%) Postileo |
8/1(+33%) | (1) Postileo 8/1, Few miles on the clock for a 6-y-o and well prepared on back of 19 months off (also gelded) to score at Hamilton (13f) in May. Faded out of things when sixth in Copper Horse handicap (14f) at Royal Ascot 32 days ago and this mark demands a little more. All three wins have been with give underfoot and possibilities should it get wet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (18/1 -50%) Hadrianus |
18/1(-50%) | (14) Hadrianus 18/1, AW maiden winner in December who has improved in a higher grade this year, third in Goodwood listed event (11.2f) in May. Handicapper took no chances with opening mark but matched previous best when midfield in Northumberland Vase 21 days ago. Handy 3-y-o allowance a plus here. Not much has gone right in his two attempts at staying trips; may yet do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (40/1 -21%) Stay Well |
40/1(-21%) | (4) Stay Well 40/1, Returned to form back on AW when third at Kempton (12f) in June. Made his move earlier than ideal (also took strong hold) when weakening out of things in Duke of Edinburgh handicap (12f) 4 weeks ago but stamina to prove up significantly in trip. Back to form on the AW and perhaps Ascot doesn't suit him; unraced beyond 1m4f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
SWEET WILLIAM created a big impression when scoring over 1m4f at Doncaster last time and he can follow up that success here. John and Thady Gosden's charge shaped as if this hike in trip would be no issue, scoring even more comfortably than the winning distance of four and a quarter lengths might suggest. Nathanael Greene is feared most after running well in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle last time and he should pose a threat off the same mark, while Postileo and Novel Legend could also feature.
A half-brother to St Leger/Irish Derby winner Hurricane Lane, SWEET WILLIAM opened his account in a canter in a 6-runner Doncaster novice (11.9f) 15 days ago and, with his opening mark looking very appealing, he's fancied to make a bold bid quickly upped to 2m on handicap debut. Novel Legend continues to shape well and is feared, along with Northumberland Plate fourth Nathaniel Greene, who sports first-time blinkers.
An open handicap but Ebor entry SWEET WILLIAM is temptingly handicapped if his penultimate effort is taken at face value.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (4/1 +27%) Commanche Falls |
4/1(+27%) | (3) Commanche Falls 4/1, Made the frame in a couple of Group 3's this term before getting back on scoreboard in 10-runner listed race at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Holds strong claims. Superb 6f sprinter at different levels; close up in Group 2 at York in May; big say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (18/1 +45%) Diligent Harry |
18/1(+45%) | (4) Diligent Harry 18/1, Dual winner over this trip on AW this year and wasn't disgraced upped to Group company at Sandown latest. Something to find on form with principals, though. 5-9 on AW; turf maiden; close 2nd in 2021 running; others more likely on recent turf runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7/1 +30%) Cold Case |
7/1(+30%) | (8) Cold Case 7/1, Smart colt who enhanced a fine strike rate when scoring at Ascot on his return in May. However, proved very disappointing at Haydock next time and takes on stiffer opposition now. Can lead; ran poorly on good to firm in May; competitive on earlier 6f results. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (9/1 +25%) Shartash |
9/1(+25%) | (10) Shartash 9/1, Returned to form when creditable fifth of 15 in Lacken Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 10/1) in May but needs to find improvement to add to his juvenile victories in this comoany. Group 2 winner in Ireland as 2yo; close 5th on second run of 2023; needs extra push today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/1 +18%) Ehraz |
9/1(+18%) | (5) Ehraz 9/1, Smart sprinter who kept good company last year, notably finishing sixth of 20 in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Conditions possibly against him when third on return at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in April and better expected here. Blinkers on first time. Talented sprinter, including over C&D; capable of better but first-time headgear a query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (7/1 +18%) Rumstar |
7/1(+18%) | (9) Rumstar 7/1, Progressive 2-y-o sprinter, signing off with victory in the Cornwallis at Newmarket. Improved on that form when 2¼ lengths fifth of 13 in Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) latest and could be a player here. Made excellent progress as 2yo; good 5th in Group 1 Commonwealth Cup; this is competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (8/1 +27%) Annaf |
8/1(+27%) | (2) Annaf 8/1, Smart performer on the AW, completing hat-trick in listed company at Lingfield in February. Ran his best race on turf when third in King's Stand at Royal Ascot and wasn't seen to best effect at Sandown last time. Merits consideration. Five AW wins; 0-9 on turf but very good 4th in 6f Group 2 in May; first run at trip since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (12/1 +0%) Mitbaahy |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Mitbaahy 12/1, Big improver last season, his third win coming in Group 3 at this course (5f) in September. Not been in quite same form so far this term but looks worth another crack at this trip after staying on late in KIngs Stand last time. Progressive at 5f; staying-on 8th at Ascot suggests return to 6f is worth investigating. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (8.5/1 +29%) Shouldvebeenaring |
8.5/1(+29%) | (11) Shouldvebeenaring 8.5/1, Five-time winner who upped his game when second in Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock in May. Not been in same form since, however, and looks up against it here. Dual Listed winner as 2yo and 3yo; well held in Group 1s of late; this is tough, too. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (5/1 +9%) Rohaan |
5/1(+9%) | (7) Rohaan 5/1, Won twice over this trip at Ascot last term and turned in his best effort of this campaign when a staying-on seventh of 15 in handicap at same course (5f, soft) a week ago. Posted good fourth in this contest last year and likely to make presence felt again. High class; this race didn't go his way in 2022; revival latest; return to 6f ideal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Though Garrus merits respect having defeated Commanche Falls in the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket in April, he might struggle to confirm that form under a 3lb penalty. The latter also makes plenty of appeal, but a chance is taken on COLD CASE. Ground conditions were said to have scuppered his chances in the Sandy Lane last time, but they should suit here and Karl Burke's unexposed sprinter might resume his progress. Lezoo is firmly in the mix on official ratings and she is a key player in receipt of weight.
Preference is for COMMANCHE FALLS, who boasts strong form credentials and arrives on the back of a confidence-boosting victory at the Curragh. Annaf and Rohaan head the list of dangers in a highly competitive renewal of this Group 3 contest.
This race didn't go to plan for ROHAAN last year but he was a fine fourth in a Group 1 after and is more than capable at this level.

1st (5) (1/1 +28%) Relief Rally |
1/1(+28%) | (5) Relief Rally 1/1, Impressive winner of first two starts before a big effort when just denied in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. That's the best piece of form on show and she's the type to go on progressing, so clearly the one to beat. Pipped in the Queen May and could easily be unbeaten; fillies have great record in this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (33/1 +18%) Dapperling |
33/1(+18%) | (13) Dapperling 33/1, Gradually progressive and off the mark in straighforward fashion at Lingfield last time. That form has been boosted since and she's not a forlorn hope. Lingfield win is no shining advertisement for her credentials in this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (33/1 +18%) Payment In Kind |
33/1(+18%) | (15) Payment In Kind 33/1, Profitable colt who made a positive start when runner-up at this course 9 days ago. Faces a quick turnaround and may well be found out by a lack of experience. Promising first run here but beaten by 50-1 chance; this is always a big ask for a maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/1 +67%) World Of Darcy |
11/1(+67%) | (6) World Of Darcy 11/1, Wasn't unbacked prior to making perfect start at Pontefract and he fared best of the rest behind the smart Elite Status in the National Stakes at Sandown. Bit disappointing in Windsor Castle Stakes since but not completely written off. Headgear turned to after failing to fire at Ascot and dangerous to entirely dismiss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (22/1 -10%) La Guarida |
22/1(-10%) | (14) La Guarida 22/1, Looked a good prospect when chasing home Jabaara in a traditionally-warm Newmarket contest on debut, then easily landing 6f Goodwood fillies' maiden a week later. That form worked out well and her sub-par showing in the Chesham is excusable. Retains potential but has yet to race over 5f and her Group entry is at 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (22/1 -38%) Beenham |
22/1(-38%) | (11) Beenham 22/1, Havana Grey filly who confirmed debut promise when making all in Goodwood novice but found listed company too hot at York a couple of months ago. Others preferred. Perhaps better than she showed last time but Juniper Berries should have her measure. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (18) (7/1 +22%) Juniper Berries |
7/1(+22%) | (18) Juniper Berries 7/1, Made a winning start and has posted a couple of positive efforts since, notably when fourth in the Queen Mary last time. Unlikely to turn the tables with Relief Rally from that day, but still respected. 4l to find on their Queen Mary form and a 7lb pull should make it interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (150/1 -20%) Instant Recall |
150/1(-20%) | (2) Instant Recall 150/1, Showed much more than on debut when second of 8 in minor event (20/1) at Haydock but failed to back it up at Nottingham since. Faces a stiff task in first-time cheekpieces. Doesn't look good enough and cheekpieces turned to after a flat effort at Nottingham. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (4/1 +11%) Bobsleigh |
4/1(+11%) | (8) Bobsleigh 4/1, Made a winning debut in 6-runner maiden at Bath in ready fashion and showed useful form when following up in class 2 event at Epsom. Good sixth in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and boasts solid claims with the scope for further improvement. 6th in Coventry; persuasive form claims at this level provided he can lay up back to 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (21) (150/1 -20%) Fengari |
150/1(-20%) | (21) Fengari 150/1, Off the mark at Leicester in May but didn't match that form under a penalty at Hamilton since. Likely to be found out in a competitive event like this. Made a winning debut but outclassed on what she's shown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (80/1 +0%) Call Glory |
80/1(+0%) | (12) Call Glory 80/1, Confirmed previous encouragement to open his account in a seller at Goodwood 41 days ago but this is a significantly stiffer task for new yard. Contested sellers the last twice, winning the latest at Goodwood by clear daylight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (19) (125/1 -150%) Crooked Crown |
125/1(-150%) | (19) Crooked Crown 125/1, Left her debut form well behind when second in maiden at Haydock and showed a little bit of improvement when going one better in similar event at Chepstow. Disappointing on latest outing and this will likely prove too competitive. Well held under a penalty here recently and has bundles to find on the figures. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (3) (125/1 -56%) Mr Baloo |
125/1(-56%) | (3) Mr Baloo 125/1, Back on track when fourth in a nursery at Ascot last time. Stable has a good record in races of this nature but he faces a stiff task on form. Fourth in an Ascot nursery last week; well down the pecking order on achievements. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (4) (12/1 -50%) Son Of Corballis |
12/1(-50%) | (4) Son Of Corballis 12/1, Made a winning start at Tipperary and back on the up when making all in a listed contest there last time. Was seen to good effect that day and probably isn't open to much more improvement, but can go close with a repeat. Had excuses for his sole defeat; Listed winner and one of the better options on RPRs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (1) (40/1 +0%) The Camden Colt |
40/1(+0%) | (1) The Camden Colt 40/1, Footstepsinthesand colt who put experience to good use when making all in Haydock novice (6f) in May. Back on track at Pontefract last time but others have more potential. Has no right to be bothering Bobsleigh on their clashes at Epsom and Royal Ascot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (7) (40/1 +0%) Ziggy's Phoenix |
40/1(+0%) | (7) Ziggy's Phoenix 40/1, Fairly useful filly who won a Ripon novice and the Lily Agnes at Chester in the spring. Hasn't progressed since that and had limitations exposed in listed company at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. She's an exposed filly who has plenty to find even on her winning form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (10) (50/1 +0%) Liv My Life |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Liv My Life 50/1, Back on the up when scoring at Chester 3 weeks ago. Might not have finished improving but significant step forward required if she's to make an impact in this. Recent Chester winner but needs more here and she's well held by some of these. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (20) (40/1 +0%) Heed The Call |
40/1(+0%) | (20) Heed The Call 40/1, Improved for first-time blinkers when doubling tally in a 3-runner event at Hamilton last time but this is likely to prove a bit too much for her. Two wins but also beaten in races won by Juniper Berries and Rosario; placed at best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (9) (150/1 +0%) Relentless Warrior |
150/1(+0%) | (9) Relentless Warrior 150/1, Just modest form to date and, while he ran well in a minor event at Ffos Las 27 days ago, it's hard to imagine he'll feature in this. Not progressive and was behind two of these at Ffos Las most recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (17) (200/1 +20%) Jolly Sailor |
200/1(+20%) | (17) Jolly Sailor 200/1, Yet to show anything and looks well out of his depth. Could benefit from being gelded but has no form claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A typically wide-open renewal in which many will fancy their chances, and only a tentative vote can go to RELIEF RALLY. A winner of her first two starts, she ran a mighty race when narrowly denied in the Queen Mary last month. The daughter of Kodiac is likely to need luck in running but that Royal Ascot form makes her a leading candidate. Juniper Berries finished four lengths behind the selection on that occasion but she's entitled to be in the mix, along with stablemate and Coventry-sixth Bobsleigh. The recent Listed-scorer Son Of Corballis can also figure, while others to note include World Of Darcy, Beenham and The Camden Colt.
RELIEF RALLY confirmed herself an excellent prospect when a narrow second in the Queen Mary and, if she can back that up, she should be able to resume winning ways. Bobsleigh also ran well at Royal Ascot and he looks the main threat ahead of Son of Corballis, who landed an Irish listed race last time.
The weights are determined by purchase price and RELIEF RALLY (nap) would appear to be in pole position off only 9st.

1st (8) (12/1 +25%) James's Delight |
12/1(+25%) | (8) James's Delight 12/1, Foaled March 16. €16,000 foal, €55,000 yearling. Invincible Army colt. Closely related to 7.5f winner Rule The Sea, and half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1¼m Battle Pride. Yard going well with their 2-y-os. Dam bred winning 2yos; yard going well with juveniles; market usually a good guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (18/1 +10%) Mister Sketch |
18/1(+10%) | (10) Mister Sketch 18/1, Foaled February 3. Territories colt. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Rimth. Yard capable of readying a newcomer. Out of half-sister to Group 3 winner at 7f; yard often has them ready to go well on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (3/1 +67%) Mr Wonderful |
3/1(+67%) | (11) Mr Wonderful 3/1, Bred to be useful but run best excused when ninth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f) on debut 9 days ago, slowly away and then squeezed for room soon after. Capable of better. Lost all chance when snatched up over 1f out on Doncaster debut (6f); capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 -9%) Blue Day |
12/1(-9%) | (2) Blue Day 12/1, Foaled February 15. Blue Point colt. Closely related to 7f winner Noya and half-brother to 7f/1m winner Labhay and useful 6f-8.3f winner New Arrangement. Dam 1m winner. Watch for market clues. Trip should suit; yard had few 2yo runners this year; worth market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/1 +7%) Al Saif |
7/1(+7%) | (1) Al Saif 7/1, Foaled January 30. €35,000 yearling, Exceed And Excel colt. Brother to 1m-1¼m winner Epidemic. Dam once-raced half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Early March and winner up to 10.4f Aviate (both smart). One to note on debut. Out of half-sister to Graded/Group winners; may need further but yard 18% with 2yos here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (6/1 -71%) L'ennemi |
6/1(-71%) | (9) L'ennemi 6/1, Foaled May 9. €190,000 yearling, Siyouni colt. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart winner up to 7f Polydream and smart winner up to 1m Evaporation. Respected on debut. 190,000euros yearling; dam bred Listed/Group winners; yard going well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (25/1 +0%) Hello Cotai |
25/1(+0%) | (6) Hello Cotai 25/1, Foaled March 3. Cotai Glory colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Prodigious Blue. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Yard's newcomers often improve for their first outing. Dam 2yo winner; only previous foal was a winning sprinter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (11/1 +21%) Brunel Nation |
11/1(+21%) | (3) Brunel Nation 11/1, Foaled February 26. £95,000 yearling, 130,000 gns 2-y-o, Sioux Nation. Dam maiden, half-sister to very smart 1½m winner Ziyad. Makes appeal on paper. 130,000gns 2yo; yard in form; not an obvious speedster on pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (3.5/1 -56%) Free Nation |
3.5/1(-56%) | (5) Free Nation 3.5/1, Made an encouraging start amidst greenness when runner-up at Windsor in June, but didn't progress from that effort when mid-field at Doncaster 9 days ago. However, he's worth another chance to build on his debut promise with hood on first time. Beaten favourite both 6f starts, disappointing latest after promising debut 2nd; hood on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (20/1 +0%) Flag Carrier |
20/1(+0%) | (4) Flag Carrier 20/1, Foaled January 19. €85,000 foal, Starspangledbanner colt. Dam, 6f winner, sister to useful winner up to 6f (stayed 1m) Rockaway Valley. Blinkered for debut and may just benefit from his first experience. Bred to sprint but off-putting to see him in headgear already. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (16/1 +20%) Hinitsa Bay |
16/1(+20%) | (7) Hinitsa Bay 16/1, Expensive breeze-up buy who showed ability when fifth of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (5f) on debut in June, making a mid-race move before weakening approaching final 1f. Has been gelded since and could do better stepped up in trip. Unseated rider before start, then remote 5th on 5f debut at Nottingham; gelded since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (33/1 +18%) Zinchenko |
33/1(+18%) | (12) Zinchenko 33/1, Foaled February 11. Bated Breath colt. Dam, 6f winner who stayed 7f, half-sister to smart 6f (including at 2 yrs) winner Bounty Box. Others make more appeal. Speedy pedigree; yard's beginners can go well at big prices, such as here last week. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Richard Hannon has won this race for the last two years, so Mr Wonderful, who made a low-key debut at Doncaster nine days ago, must be respected. Free Nation might have been a beaten favourite on both of his starts to date, but he should not be far away if a first-time hood allows him to settle. However, L'ENNEMI, a 190,000-euro purchase, is a half-brother to the Group 1 winner Polydream and he is fancied to make a winning debut.
FREE NATION needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Doncaster 9 days ago but he had previously shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut at Windsor, so the son of Siyouni is worth another chance to put his experience to good use and open his account. L'Ennemi and Al Saif both make appeal on paper and are feared most of the newcomers.
Several of the beginners look likely types and the market needs checking but L'ENNEMI has fair claims on the face of it.

1st (14) (2.5/1 +17%) Sweet Memories |
2.5/1(+17%) | (14) Sweet Memories 2.5/1, Fetched 680,000 gns as a yearling and form of the Wolverhampton novice (9.5f) in which she finished fourth on her introduction during the winter is working out well. That experience won't be wasted on her and, provided she's tuned-up following a break, improvement is on the cards here. Great pedigree; likeable 4th in December in a novice that's worked out well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (3.5/1 +30%) Red Danielle |
3.5/1(+30%) | (13) Red Danielle 3.5/1, Shaped very well on debut when runner-up in a minor event at Goodwood (1¼m, good to firm) at the end of May (Malka 5 lengths adrift in third). Excuses on the AW next time and she remains of strong interest. Hood applied. Debut was promising and there's good reason to forgive next run; now hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (5/1 -82%) Maman Joon |
5/1(-82%) | (11) Maman Joon 5/1, Promising second in a big-field C&D maiden on debut during the spring before finishing a fine fourth in the Oaks at Epsom. Perhaps not over those exertions when well held at Royal Ascot next time and she sets a good standard down in class here. Last in the Ribblesdale; her Oaks fourth is a standout piece of form at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (12/1 -50%) Karat Karat |
12/1(-50%) | (8) Karat Karat 12/1, Half-sister to very smart/ungenuine 1½m-13f winner Al Aasy and 1¼m winner Sea Flawless. Likely-looking type from a leading yard, so she needs close attention in the betting. Half-sister and stablemate to earlier Listed-race contender Al Aasy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (5.5/1 +27%) Mambo Sunset |
5.5/1(+27%) | (12) Mambo Sunset 5.5/1, Made an encouraging start to her career when third of 11 in maiden at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) and improved when a clear second upped to 10.2f at Newcastle. Strong each-way claims with further progress likely. Placed both times; more needed to beat the best of these but that's feasible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (14/1 +0%) It's Marvellous |
14/1(+0%) | (6) It's Marvellous 14/1, Left low-key debut behind when chasing home the odds-on Lmay over 1½m here last month and performed to a similar level at Kempton next time. This drop in trip could work in her favour but she looks vulnerable all the same. Steady improvement made but fairly limited and handicaps perhaps a better option now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (11/1 -22%) Malka |
11/1(-22%) | (10) Malka 11/1, Showed plenty when third of 10 in minor event at Goodwood on debut in May and subsequent Salisbury (1¼m, good to firm) second was no backward step. Looks ready for a step up in trip but, on the upside, a stronger gallop could be on the cards here and she's open to improvement. Twice placed in 1m2f events and she can progress some more; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (40/1 +39%) Avon Light |
40/1(+39%) | (2) Avon Light 40/1, Lightning Spear filly who showed signs of ability when sixth of 13 in a 1m novice on debut here (firm) last month. Likley to do better in time but others are more appealing on this occasion. Started slowly over 1m here a month ago and never counted at odds of 33-1. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (28/1 +15%) Mappatassie |
28/1(+15%) | (1) Mappatassie 28/1, Winner of a newcomers' race at Clairefontaine last summer prior to beating just one rival home in a 10-runner listed race at Toulouse in October. Sights lowered on return/debut for new yard but this 4-y-o looks vulnerable conceding plenty of weight all round to younger rivals. Debut winner in France before struggling in a Listed race; no easy task conceding weight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (11/1 +8%) Humankind |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Humankind 11/1, Sixth in the Doncaster maiden won by Oaks winner Soul Sister on debut in October and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Kempton (1m) the following month. Likely to benefit from this step up in trip and she's probably capable of a good deal better. Some promise at two but has to improve and perhaps one for handicaps after this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (200/1 +0%) Caramay |
200/1(+0%) | (3) Caramay 200/1, Little impact in 2 starts on the AW in January and it's likely that handicaps, for she will qualify after this run, will be a happier hunting ground for this filly. Beaten 30l (7f) and 9l (1m) in two AW starts and has been absent since January. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (100/1 +0%) Looklikewemadeit |
100/1(+0%) | (9) Looklikewemadeit 100/1, Not particularly appealing on paper and, chances are, she will come on for the run. Sister to Flippin' Eck, who won a 6f novice before regressing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (250/1 -25%) Kalama Sunrise |
250/1(-25%) | (7) Kalama Sunrise 250/1, Failed to beat a rival home in a couple of appearances on the AW earlier this year and she's another who will be of greater interest in handicaps later on. Trailed in last over 1m at Kempton and 1m2f at Chelmsford; no appeal for now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
This is a far easier assignment for Oaks fourth MAMAN JOON, who found things happening too quickly for her when last in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot last time. However, all of these are unexposed and the likes of Mambo Sunset and Humankind are nicely-bred individuals who can give the selection something to think about now they switch to turf.
RED DANIELLE's latest effort can be excused and she is appealing in view of her debut promise at Goodwood where she was touched off by a potentially useful type in Royal Mila (winner again since), in turn pulling nicely clear of the re-opposing Malka in third. Maman Joon is the one to beat judged on her effort in the Oaks and it will be disappointing if she's not involved in the finish. Mambo Sunset and Sweet Memories are also of interest.
While there's a nice bit of potential on show, MAMAN JOON is the standout contender on her fourth in the Oaks.

1st (7) (1.5/1 +73%) Orchid Bloom |
1.5/1(+73%) | (7) Orchid Bloom 1.5/1, Newmarket debut winner last autumn. Runner-up in novice events at Chester (7.5f) and Kempton (7f) in recent months. Opening handicap mark not obviously generous but she's still respected as an unexposed sort from a top yard. Won sole 2yo start (7f); 2nd in two novices and looks ready for 1m now; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (6.5/1 +68%) Maggie's Way |
6.5/1(+68%) | (9) Maggie's Way 6.5/1, Improved on 2yo form when making a winning return in 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (1m, heavy) in May. Not up to listed company at Sandown since but should make more of an impact back in a handicap. Best form so far when winning 1m handicap on return; highly tried only start since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Don't Tell Claire |
4.5/1(+36%) | (2) Don't Tell Claire 4.5/1, Added to her fine Ascot record when second of 19 in the Kensington Palace at last month's Royal meeting. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. Considered under Buick. Handicapping since 2020 but very good 2nd over 1m at Royal Ascot; W Buick takes over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (18/1 +73%) Tango Tonight |
18/1(+73%) | (8) Tango Tonight 18/1, Fairly useful filly. Out of depth in 1m Kempton listed race on her reappearance in April and off again since. This more realistic but others arrive with more compelling claims. AW winner at 7f; fair effort in 1m Sandown handicap in September; highly tried on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (3.5/1 +71%) Ana Gold |
3.5/1(+71%) | (5) Ana Gold 3.5/1, Better than ever on just second outing for current yard when winning a handicap over the extended 1m at Beverley 2 weeks ago. Likely to remain competitive after a 4 lb rise. Improved form to win on 2nd start for new yard; up 4lb in a better race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (7.5/1 +46%) Conservationist |
7.5/1(+46%) | (3) Conservationist 7.5/1, Fair 1m Haydock juvenile winner who took her form up a level when second of 9 in 1m handicap there in May. Respected back from a short break. Good effort over 1m in May (good to soft) but went up 5lb and needs more in this company. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
With six consecutive wins, Sparks Fly has made rapid progress since she switched to turf in April. Laura Pearson has been in the saddle for the last four of those successes and it would be folly to suggest another bold effort wasn't possible. However, this is an ease in grade for DON'T TELL CLAIRE, whose game second in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot is of a higher standard and earns her a slender vote of confidence. Conservationist and Eximious also appeal strongly at this level.
There should be more to come from ROWAYEH who can complete a hat-trick and bring to an end the remarkable winning run of Sparks Fly, who was competing in 0-60s in the spring but now finds herself top weight in a good quality fillies' handicap. Don't Tell Claire completes the shortlist.
Sparks Fly remains of great interest but well-connected ROWAYEH can improve further following a convincing Sandown win.

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.
