1st (5) (33/1 +18%) King's Gambit |
33/1(+18%) | (5) King's Gambit 33/1, 125,000 gns Saxon Warrior half-brother to several winners, including useful US 7f/1m winner Miner's Cat. 20/1, badly in need of the experience in 7f novice here on debut 4 weeks ago (Boiling Point second). Finished over 5l behind Boiling Point here on debut; needs to improve plenty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2.5/1 +55%) City Burglar |
2.5/1(+55%) | (4) City Burglar 2.5/1, Cracksman colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 7f Frankness. 33/1, showed promise while given a considerate introduction on debut in 10-runner 7f Sandown maiden 3 weeks ago. Will improve over this longer trip. Nicely bred colt who showed promise at Sandown last month; open to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (0.83/1 -14%) Boiling Point |
0.83/1(-14%) | (3) Boiling Point 0.83/1, Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 7f winner Resolute Man. 10/3, promising start when 2 lengths second in 7f 9-runner novice here 4 weeks ago, just needing the experience a shade more than the potentially-smart winner. 1m sure to suit and big shout with improvement to come. Promising second in traditionally useful novice event here four weeks ago; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (28/1 -40%) Not Me |
28/1(-40%) | (7) Not Me 28/1, Foaled April 7. 160,000 gns yearling, Farhh colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 16.6f Nate The Great and 2-y-o 6f winner So Sharp.

5.5/1(+54%) | (1) A La Noche 5.5/1, 300,000 gns foal, Lope De Vega half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Donnybrook and useful winner up to 8.2f Sky Angel, from good family. 10/1, promising sixth in valuable 13-runner 6f Glorious Goodwood maiden on debut. Longer trip sure to suit and he will improve. Showed ability in maiden at Glorious Goodwood while appearing to find 6f too sharp. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 -20%) Alentejo |
12/1(-20%) | (2) Alentejo 12/1, Foaled March 6. 52,000 gns foal, €130,000 yearling, Waldgeist colt. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Scottish out of useful 2-y-o 6f/6.5f winner Zeiting. In-form top yard's newcomers usually better for a run but fair bit of appeal and interesting to see a market move. 130,000euros yearling; by Waldgeist; Royal Lodge entry; interesting newcomer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The best form is represented by the two colts who showed clear promise here four weeks ago, namely BOILING POINT and Thyer.

1st (1) (1.25/1 +64%) Kingswood Flyer |
1.25/1(+64%) | (1) Kingswood Flyer 1.25/1, Progressed again when second of 11 at Salisbury 3 weeks ago. In top hands and limit hasn't been reached. Encouraging efforts at novice/maiden level; looks the type to progress in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2.5/1 +55%) Count Palatine |
2.5/1(+55%) | (4) Count Palatine 2.5/1, Related to plenty of winners and promising start when fifth in novice company at Windsor. Matched rather than advanced her form next 2 outings before finding soft ground possibly against him switched to a nursery at Goodwood. May be capable of progress back down in trip/grade; has C&D form; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (5/1 +50%) Commander Crouch |
5/1(+50%) | (7) Commander Crouch 5/1, Raced freely and took a backward step when sixth of 9 in nursery at Chester (7f, heavy) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Not easy to make a case for. Possible improver as this 6f trip may prove his optimum; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (6/1 +57%) Moe's Legacy |
6/1(+57%) | (9) Moe's Legacy 6/1, Failing to progress with experience, fourth of 9 in a maiden at Bath a fortnight ago. Nursery debut. May not have much room for improvement on nursery debut; now 0-5. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (18/1 -50%) Land Of Magic |
18/1(-50%) | (8) Land Of Magic 18/1, Showed ability when fifth in a 6f Goodwood maiden on second start but proved virtually unrideable on his Lingfield nursery debut. Fitted with a hood and back on track in no uncertain terms when winning 4-runner nursery at Sandown a fortnight ago. Task is to now back that up. Won a weak nursery at Sandown but could have more to offer in the retained hood. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
With a solid-looking chance on form, KINGSWOOD FLYER is taken to defy top weight. Count Palatine is second choice.

1st (10) (2.25/1 +18%) Miaharris |
2.25/1(+18%) | (10) Miaharris 2.25/1, A big-money climber as a breezer who looked potentially smart in making a winning debut in 5-runner maiden at Sandown (5f) 23 days ago, quickening to lead entering final 1f. Can go on to better things. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (3.5/1 +0%) Majestic Beauty |
3.5/1(+0%) | (8) Majestic Beauty 3.5/1, Havana Grey filly who justified support when making a winning debut at Catterick (5f, good) in May and followed up with a battling display at Musselburgh (5f) 12 weeks later. Faces a quick turnaround but open to further improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (9/1 +78%) Tears Of A Clown |
9/1(+78%) | (12) Tears Of A Clown 9/1, Left debut form well behind when opening her account in 4-runner minor event at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) in May, albeit seen to maximum effect racing on favoured side of track. Has since left Roger Ingram and looks vulnerable now upped in grade. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (4/1 +11%) Juniper Berries |
4/1(+11%) | (6) Juniper Berries 4/1, Impressive when making a winning start at Bath and posted a couple of positive efforts since, notably when fourth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Bit disappointing in Weatherbys Super Sprint but bounced back to form with a good second in valuable conditions event at Goodwood last time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (10/1 +38%) Beenham |
10/1(+38%) | (2) Beenham 10/1, Havana Grey filly who confirmed debut promise when landing a Goodwood novice in May. Returned to a similar level when sixth of 20 in Weatherbys Super Sprint but wasn't in the same form tackling much softer conditions back at Goodwood last time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (20/1 +39%) Tenhotfourcrazy |
20/1(+39%) | (13) Tenhotfourcrazy 20/1, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at the third attempt in 10-runner minor event at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago, staying on to lead on line. This asks for a good deal more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (11/1 -10%) Indispensable |
11/1(-10%) | (5) Indispensable 11/1, Put experience to good use when winning 5f maiden at Ripon in June. Improved on that form at the second attempt when a close third in Naas listed event and found testing conditions too much just 7 days on at Goodwood. Not taken lightly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (7.5/1 +17%) Lady Pink Rose |
7.5/1(+17%) | (7) Lady Pink Rose 7.5/1, Didn't need to repeat her Queen Mary effort as she scrambled home at short odds in 12-runner maiden at Beverley (5f, good) 41 days ago. Respected back up in grade. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (50/1 -25%) Tallulabelle |
50/1(-25%) | (11) Tallulabelle 50/1, Improved on her debut form when third in Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in June. Faced a stiff task in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot but was put firmly in her place by Miaharris back in maiden company at Sandown last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Having posted sound efforts at two major festivals, JUNIPER BERRIES holds particularly strong claims. Miaharris is feared most.

Flying Secret |
(1) (5/1 -25%)5/1(-25%) | (1) Flying Secret 5/1, Dual winner at this trip so far this campaign, latterly over C&D in June. Good placed efforts on 2 of his 3 starts since, third returned to sprinting at Newmarket (6f) 7 days ago. Drying ground will help returned to this trip. Best form on good/faster; won over C&D in June; creditable third at Newmarket last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (2) (4.5/1 +63%) Zouky |
4.5/1(+63%) | (2) Zouky 4.5/1, Won 6f maiden/novice events on turf at the end of last summer. Has had excuses in trio of starts in much stronger company so far this term, left poorly placed in ultra-competitive York handicap (6f) in June. Worth a crack at 7f and she's an intriguing contender. Two from two last term; excuses can be made for this year's defeats; drops in class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3.33/1 +33%) Captain Cuddles |
3.33/1(+33%) | (5) Captain Cuddles 3.33/1, Landed 6f Salisbury novice last summer and big step forward on opening handicap exploits this spring when third of 9 at Ascot (7f) 21 days ago, handy and keeping on last ½f. One to bear in mind on the back of that. Gelded prior to his encouraging effort at Ascot three weeks ago; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 +69%) Garner |
5/1(+69%) | (4) Garner 5/1, Made a winning return/yard debut at Lingfield (6f) in June, making all in convincing fashion. Struggled in class 2 handicap at York next time and not convinced with his stamina tackling this sort of trip the last twice. Cheekpieces go on now. First-time headgear may help but still has something to prove at 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (5.5/1 +8%) Be Prepared |
5.5/1(+8%) | (12) Be Prepared 5.5/1, Confirmed return to form with a dominant display from the front at Epsom (7f) in July and produced another fine effort when runner-up behind a 3-y-o over C&D 22 days ago, headed inside final 1f but keeping on. Well worth considering again. In-form 6yo who went very close over C&D last time; still well treated on peak RPRs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (3/1 +50%) Snuggle |
3/1(+50%) | (9) Snuggle 3/1, Knocking firmly on the door in novice/handicap company prior to justifying cramped odds at Windsor (6f, heavy) in May. Good second in C&D handicap next time and whilst below best since, first-time blinkers could put an extra edge on him here. Runner-up over C&D in early July and can't be dismissed back here; headgear on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (20/1 -25%) Peace Of Mine |
20/1(-25%) | (8) Peace Of Mine 20/1, Resumed progress to make a winning return at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) in April but disappointing on 2 of her 3 starts since, racing freely and dropping away when well beaten in fillies' handicap at Goodwood (1m) 17 days ago. Tongue tie goes on. Again doesn't have the ideal scenario; both wins in small fields. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (28/1 -27%) Vape |
28/1(-27%) | (10) Vape 28/1, Sharper for AW return in April when resuming winning ways at Chepstow (6f) a month later. Not in same form on 3 of 4 starts since though, fading out of things when sixth in 7 runner handicap at Windsor (6f) 32 days ago. Has done all his winning over 6f; opposed back at 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (12/1 +40%) Mindthegap |
12/1(+40%) | (7) Mindthegap 12/1, Much sharper for debut when landing Chelmsford novice (6f) in November. Not at same level in trio of starts this summer, fifth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (1m, heavy) 16 days ago. Possibly worth another try on AW. Has failed to progress in three starts this year; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Judged on the strength of his final novice effort, HALLA DUBAI (nap) is well worth another chance. Be Prepared is second choice.

1st (9) (2.12/1 +39%) Al Hargah |
2.12/1(+39%) | (9) Al Hargah 2.12/1, Much improved when getting off the mark at Leicester (8.2f) in July and has been holding her form well since, needing a stronger gallop when runner-up at Windsor (10f) 5 days ago. Major player. Running well in blinkers; beaten a neck at Windsor on Monday; major player off same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6/1 +33%) Meleri |
6/1(+33%) | (4) Meleri 6/1, Sole success came in handicap at Newmarket (10f) last June and, following a low key reappearance, returned to form when fourth in the corresponding race at Newmarket this year. Can give her running again. Fourth of ten at Newmarket (race she won last year) on latest start was respectable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (2.75/1 +66%) Imperial Cult |
2.75/1(+66%) | (10) Imperial Cult 2.75/1, Has been in good heart in 3 starts since joining his current yard, running creditably when third at this course (12f) 22 days ago. Remains a maiden, though, so needs to find more as he drops back down in trip. Seven-race maiden; best form on AW but respectable third here (1m4f, soft) on latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (25/1 -56%) Benjamin Bear |
25/1(-56%) | (6) Benjamin Bear 25/1, Ran to a fair level when opening his account at Leicester (10f) in June. However, form has gone the wrong way since, including over hurdles on his last 2 starts (bled when pulled up in February). Has something to prove at present. Off since February (pulled up; reportedly bled) and needs to resume in peak form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/1 -56%) Carp Kid |
7/1(-56%) | (3) Carp Kid 7/1, Back down in trip, capitalised on a career-low mark when scoring at Windsor (10f) in July and followed up with a ready success at Chepstow later in the month. Respected in his current form. 1m2f wins at Windsor and Chepstow (in tidy style) on last two outings, so he's on a roll. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (5.5/1 +0%) Mrembo |
5.5/1(+0%) | (11) Mrembo 5.5/1, Resumed winning ways at the course (11f) in June and has continued in good form since, no extra in the dying strides when third of 14 at Sandown (10f) 23 days ago. Can give another good account. Ridden by Olivia Tubb last three starts, 1m3f here on first occasion; close 3rd on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (11/1 +21%) Moonfleet Moment |
11/1(+21%) | (8) Moonfleet Moment 11/1, After 5 months off (gelded), showed more than previously when sixth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in April, though never a threat. Further improvement required as he goes up in trip for his handicap debut. Some late progress from rear in April last time; up 3f for this handicap and turf debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Carp Kid bids for a hat-trick. Preference is for AL HARGAH whose late surge so nearly took her to the front at Windsor on Monday.

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.
