1st (7)  (0.83/1 +76%)Arrest |
0.83/1(+76%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Arrest 0.83/1, Runner-up in a French Group 1 on his final 2-y-o start and reappeared to win the Chester Vase in May (both heavy ground). Not in the same form on a firmer surface in the Derby at Epsom and King Edward at Ascot since but better can be expected back on easier ground this time. Easy win in Group 3 Chester Vase (1m4f, soft) in May; disappointing on good to firm since. |
|||
2nd (5)  (20/1 +39%)Ching Shih |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ching Shih 20/1, Useful filly who was placed at listed level over 1½m on her first 2 outings this term (4 lengths third to Luisa Casati at Goodwood first occasion). Latest midfield effort in France was respectable but she has something to find at this level. 1m4f Listed form this season shows she has much more to find if she's to play leading role. |
|||
3rd (4)  (12/1 -100%)Shandoz |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Shandoz 12/1, Smart performance to win 1½m Kempton listed race in November 2021 but he hasn't been seen since. The fact he's gone well fresh before provides hope on this belated return to action. Going beyond 1m4f should suit if he's sufficiently tuned up after 656-day absence. |
|||
4th (6)  (25/1 +0%)Luisa Casati |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Luisa Casati 25/1, Useful mare who built on solid return in France to land 1½m listed event at Goodwood in May. Creditable fifth in Lancashire Oaks at Haydock next time and presumably unsuited by very testing ground back at Goodwood since Forgiven her Goodwood show last time (1m6f, heavy) but still needs overall improvement. |
|||
5th (3)  (7/1 -133%)Kemari |
7/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kemari 7/1, First win since the 2021 Queen's Vase when seeing off 4 rivals in a 1½m Newmarket listed race 6 weeks ago. Prominent showing on the cards if showing up here in similar form. Listed win last time; proven stamina and plenty of form would see him seriously involved. |
|||
6th (2)  (9/1 -13%)Jack Darcy |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jack Darcy 9/1, Smart on his day, including good 4 lengths second of 7 to Hamish in Glorious Stakes at Goodwood (1½m, soft) 15 days ago, leading for a long way. 2nd of seven in Group 3 at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) two weeks ago was his best form. |
|||
7th (8)  (4.5/1 +0%)Klondike |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Klondike 4.5/1, 600,000 gns Galileo colt who overcame inexperience to win on his debut (11f, heavy) in April. Very useful efforts when 3 lengths second to Gregory in Goodwood listed (11f again) and 2½ lengths fourth to Castle Way in Newmarket Group 3 (13f) since. Unlikely he's reached his limit after 3 starts. Needs better still but, for one who has had only three races, it may well be possible. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
After strolling home in the Chester Vase, Arrest struggled to make an impact on faster ground in both the Derby and the King Edward VII, but the son of Frankel could bounce back with the weather forecast in his favour. Kemari returned to winning ways in the Fred Archer at Newmarket, but he isn't absolutely certain to back that performance up and the vote goes to KLONDIKE. William Haggas' colt wasn't best positioned to challenge in the Bahrain Trophy following a slow start and he remains capable of much better.
Four of the last 6 runnings have gone the way of a 3-y-o and the younger generation can come to the fore again, with ARREST taken to resume his progression now away from firmish ground. Klondike could easily have more to offer after only 3 starts and is second choice ahead of Godolphin's Kemari.
Supporters of ARREST had their fingers burned in the Derby and the King Edward VII but good to firm ground was a reasonable excuse.

1st (9)  (4/1 +67%)Desperate Hero |
4/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Desperate Hero 4/1, Perked up by first-time cheekpieces when resuming winning ways in good style at Windsor (5f) in June and produced a career best in defeat when headed only in the dying strides at Yarmouth in July. Run best excused at Goodwood on most recent outing having been poorly drawn. | |||
2nd (3)  (16/1 +0%)May Sonic |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) May Sonic 16/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to end long losing run at Southwell in January. Mixed bag since but ran creditably making his first turf outing in nearly 2 years when fourth of 6 at Windsor (5.1f) 3 weeks ago. | |||
3rd (6)  (9/1 +44%)Katey Kontent |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Katey Kontent 9/1, Won a couple of novice events over this trip but limitations exposed at a higher level thereafter and wasn't at her best again after 10 months off in a Sandown listed event in June. Into handicap now with something to prove. | |||
4th (11)  (9/1 -50%)Four Adaay |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Four Adaay 9/1, Resumed winning ways in a weak event at Newmarket in June and has remained in good form since, needing no excuses in first-time blinkers when third of 6 at Ffos Las (5f, heavy) 19 days ago. Ought to remain competitive. | |||
5th (8)  (10/1 +0%)Fantasy Master |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fantasy Master 10/1, Got off the mark for the season in 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in July, always holding on. Ran poorly in follow-up bid at York subsequently, though. | |||
6th (1)  (4/1 +71%)Whenthedealinsdone |
4/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Whenthedealinsdone 4/1, Course winner who was well below form in a first-time tongue strap at Goodwood last time but, on the plus side, this represents a drop in grade and he's on a good mark if he can recapture his best form. | |||
7th (2)  (28/1 -56%)Punchbowl Flyer |
28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Punchbowl Flyer 28/1, Useful handicapper at his best but failed to fire last season and fitness has to be taken on trust returning from 10 months off for a new stable (previously trained by Eve Johnson Houghton). | |||
8th (10)  (3.2/1 +47%)Libra Tiger |
3.2/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Libra Tiger 3.2/1, Finally broke his run of seconds when winning 7-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 23 days ago, suited by way race developed. Bit below form at Windsor on Thursday, but still handicapped to have a big say. | |||
9th (5)  (6.5/1 +13%)Woolhampton |
6.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Woolhampton 6.5/1, Has taken well to the fitting of blinkers and didn't need to improve to record a first success in handicap company in 7-runner handicap at Ascot (5f, good to soft, 5/1) 22 days ago, driven out. Ought to remain competitive. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
SWIFT ASSET has been in fine fettle on his most recent outings, including when scoring at Bath on his penultimate start, and Richard Hannon's colt warrants plenty of respect in his bid for a third career victory. Rod Millman boasts two solid chances with Woolhampton, a winner at Ascot last time, and Four Adaay, who has the services of Oisin Murphy in the saddle once again. Others to note include Harry Brown and Katey Kontent.
A well-run race over a stiff 5f brought out the best in LIBRA TIGER at Sandown and he still looks attractively handicapped following a 5 lb rise in the weights, despite a below-par showing at Windsor on Thursday. Swift Asset and Four Adaay are others to note in a competitive sprint handicap.
Woolhampton is solid to go well but HARRY BROWN is better than the bare results of his recent turf runs and is preferred.

1st (6)  (7.5/1 +17%)Spangled Mac |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Spangled Mac 7.5/1, His 2 efforts in the space of 48 hours at Royal Ascot in June suggest he could have a good handicap in him at some point. Shaped as if still in form in International back at Ascot last month. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie. Player under Buick. Below best at Ascot three weeks ago but of interest on his form there at the Royal meeting. |
|||
2nd (3)  (12/1 +0%)Popmaster |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Popmaster 12/1, Went without a win in 2022 but back in top form this year, building on his C&D second when scoring over 6f at Ascot in July. Shaped as if still in form when twelfth of 25 in the International at Ascot latest. On the wrong side and denied a clear run in the International last time; one to consider. |
|||
3rd (8)  (3.5/1 +75%)Isla Kai |
3.5/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Isla Kai 3.5/1, Ended a losing run at Ripon (1m, heavy) in April. Struggled on his next few starts but shaped as if back in form when 6 lengths third of 11 at Goodwood (7f, heavy) 17 days ago. Has dropped to 1 lb lower than at Ripon so well treated if he can build on that. Took a step back in the right direction at Goodwood recently and he's a possible. |
|||
4th (10)  (3.5/1 +56%)Classic |
3.5/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Classic 3.5/1, Useful 7f winner at 2. Not up to Group 3 level in the Greenham on his C&D reappearance but back on track in handicaps since, winning over 7f at Sandown (good) last month. Only nudged up 2 lb and one for the shortlist here. Form of Sandown win has been franked and he's firmly in calculations up just 2lb. |
|||
5th (4)  (9/1 -50%)Open Mind |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Open Mind 9/1, Won twice on AW at Chelmsford last year and added to tally on turf at Meydan in January. Back to his best when third of 11 at Chelmsford (7f) 6 weeks ago. Not discounted under Oisin Murphy. Won on turf at Meydan in January and solid third at Chelmsford last time; in the mix. |
|||
6th (13)  (12/1 -20%)Hectic |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Hectic 12/1, Drawn a blank since his 6f course debut win 13 months ago but arrives on the back of creditable efforts in handicaps at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) and Newmarket (7f, soft) in recent weeks. Ran well when third at Newmarket recently and the return to Newbury could be a positive. |
|||
7th (14)  (7/1 +61%)Alpha Capture |
7/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Alpha Capture 7/1, Scored twice as a juvenile, latterly at listed level in October. Largely underperformed in handful of starts so far this year, never involved when seventh of 10 at Ascot with blinkers added last weekend. Visor is given a go now. 6f 2yo Listed winner last October but a long way below that level this summer. |
|||
8th (7)  (14/1 +44%)Hodler |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hodler 14/1, Progressive form as a 3-y-o, winning 3 times over 7f. Back on the up with a 7f Chester win on heavy in May and given time since a lesser run at the Epsom Derby meeting at the beginning of June. Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day but had excuses; career best when winning the time before. |
|||
9th (12)  (18/1 -29%)Scholarship |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Scholarship 18/1, Back on the up when making a successful return in the mud over C&D in April, but in the same form on his 3 outings since. The cheekpieces he's worn the last twice are now replaced by first-time blinkers. Won over C&D in April on his sole course visit but has struggled on his three starts since. |
|||
10th (9)  (8.5/1 +15%)Top Secret |
8.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Top Secret 8.5/1, Won at Kempton on his final 2 starts last year and good runner-up efforts on turf on 2 of his 3 outings in 2023, including 1m here. Nudged up another 2 lb for last time so isn't obviously well handicapped. Two good seconds (including here) from his three runs this year; in the shake-up. |
|||
11th (5)  (28/1 -133%)Lethal Nymph |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lethal Nymph 28/1, Useful performer who was back to form when second at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month but not in the same form back there since. Probably stays 7f. Good second at Windsor two starts ago but that was over 6f; unproven at 7f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
CLASSIC took the step forward required to get his head back in front at Sandown and the form of that contest has worked out nicely, with the runner-up Novus improving in two subsequent outings at Glorious Goodwood, and the fifth winning comfortably at Newmarket last week. A 2lb rise may prove to be lenient and he gets the vote at the expense of Open Mind, who placed at Chelmsford last time, and Top Secret.
LYNDON B is likely in better form than this season's mid-field finishes suggest and might be able to capitalise on a mark which is 2 lb below the one he went very close from in a big-field race over C&D on his final start last year. Spangled Mac has shaped well in some very strong Ascot handicaps lately and is second choice ahead of Classic and Bless Him.
3yo CLASSIC (nap) got back on track with a Sandown win last month and he can follow up off only 2lb higher. Popmaster is a danger.

1st (6)  (12/1 +40%)Witch Hunter |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Witch Hunter 12/1, Really smart effort when coming from last to first in Buckingham Palace Stakes (handicap) at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) in June. Placed at listed level on his next 2 outings and not seen to best effect in a small-field scenario at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) last time. Each-way claims. Won Royal Ascot handicap; beaten in Group 3/Listed races since; same outcome seems likely. |
|||
2nd (9)  (8/1 +43%)New Endeavour |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) New Endeavour 8/1, Doubled his tally in ready fashion at Kempton and showed he's every bit as good on turf when an excellent second in the Britannia at Royal Ascot. Respectable effort when third to Nostrum in listed event at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) since and this obviously tougher. Fair Listed third at Newmarket last time but clear career best is needed from this 3yo. |
|||
3rd (1)  (2/1 +27%)Chindit |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chindit 2/1, Added a listed race to his tally on his reappearance in May and excelled himself when runner-up in the Lockinge here later that month. Not in quite the same form when mid-field in the Queen Anne Stakes but ticks plenty of boxes returned to this level after a couple of months off. Below par at Royal Ascot but leading claims judged on his second here in the Lockinge. |
|||
4th (10)  (7.5/1 +63%)Mammas Girl |
7.5/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mammas Girl 7.5/1, Newmarket winner on sole 2-y-o start and while it was hardly a vintage renewal of the Nell Gwyn that she won on return there in April, she did it decisively. Well held in pair of Group 1s next 2 starts but back on track when mid-field in a Group 3 at York last month. Return to 7f a plus. Won 7f Group 3 Nell Gwyn on reappearance but unable to reproduce that form since. |
|||
5th (3)  (18/1 +45%)Misty Grey |
18/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Misty Grey 18/1, Back to form after 6 months off when fourth in Chester listed event (7f) in July and ran as well as could be expected from a mark of 107 considering he's more effective on all-weather when eighth at Chepstow (7.1f) 9 days ago. This level is probably above his paygrade. Placed in Group races last August/October but hasn't been at his very best this summer. |
|||
6th (5)  (16/1 +60%)Rodaballo |
16/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rodaballo 16/1, Useful in Spain with seven of his 8 career victories at Madrid (including on soft ground). Not discredited in three runs at Meydan earlier this year and might have needed the run after 5 months off when sixth in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Others appeal more. German Group 2 win in 2021, but 2023 form suggests this Spanish challenger is vulnerable. |
|||
7th (8)  (6/1 +29%)Mostabshir |
6/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mostabshir 6/1, Winner of both starts in novice company (still green in the Craven in between) and acquitted himself quite well when sixth in St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. Failed to confirm that improvement at listed level since, so he's likely to come up short here. Improvement needed but remains lightly raced and perhaps blinkers will give him a boost. |
|||
8th (7)  (6/1 +25%)Marbaan |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Marbaan 6/1, Enjoyed his finest hour when winning the Group 2 Vintage at Glorious Goodwood last year. Returned to 7f for the first time this year and ran up to his best without posing a threat when 3¼ lengths third of 6 to Kinross in Lennox Stakes back there 18 days ago. Folly to discount. Creditable third in the Group 2 Lennox at Goodwood and he could be a contender. |
|||
9th (4)  (7/1 -17%)Pogo |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pogo 7/1, Not at his very best this year (won 2 Group 3s and a Group 2 last season), though latest third in Group 3 at Newmarket was a step back in the right direction. Capable of going well. Potential front runner. 3 Group-race wins last year; step back in right direction last time; could be in the mix. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Chindit hit the woodwork in the Lockinge before going on to finish a creditable sixth in the Queen Anne. Those efforts set a clear form standard, but he was a well-held eighth in this last year and the winner JUMBY is preferred. The son of New Bay warmed up for his title defence with a good second in the Criterion at Newmarket (Pogo just behind in third), and this has likely been the target all along. The latter also merits respect, along with Marbaan, who arrives on the back of a solid third in the Lennox.
One of the top 7f races in the calendar in Britain and last year's winner JUMBY looks to have serious claims of repeating that feat having been freshened up since his runner-up effort in the Criterion at Newmarket. Eve Johnson Houghton is enjoying plenty of success this month and her 5-y-o can get the better of Chindit, who is most probably having his last race before embarking on a career at stud in India. Possible front-runner Pogo and Marbaan can do battle for third spot.
C&D Group 3 winner CHINDIT has been placed in the last two runnings of the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes here and he earns the vote.

5.5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dancing Gemini 5.5/1, Offered plenty to work on when second of 9 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 7/2) on debut. Not disgraced in listed race at Ascot since and big shout back down in class. Second at Salisbury before running well for a long way in an Ascot Listed race. |

2nd (7)  (7.5/1 +53%)Fire Demon |
7.5/1(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fire Demon 7.5/1, Dark Angel colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 7f winner Old Flame and useful winner up to 1m Chaleur and 1m-2m winner Dalvey. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. 7/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Ascot (6f, good to soft) on debut 21 days ago. Reportedly lost a shoe when beating only one home at Ascot three weeks ago (6f, good; 7-1). |
|||
3rd (13)  (20/1 +0%)Olympic Candle |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Olympic Candle 20/1, Foaled February 23. Profitable colt. Dam French maiden half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Territories out of smart 2-y-o 1m/9f winner (stayed 1½m) Taranto. Dam French maiden from 6f-8.5f (RPR 73), half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Territories. |

Dam 1¼m winner out of winning half-sister to very smart 7f-8.5f winner Fanunalter. 13,000gns foal; second foal; half-brother to Italian 7.5f winner Signa; dam 1m2f winner. |

5th (9)  (3.33/1 +33%)Highland Spring |
3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Highland Spring 3.33/1, Dubawi colt. Dam winner up to 10.5f (2-y-o 1m/9f winner). 20/1, fourth of 10 in maiden at Sandown (7f, soft) on debut 23 days ago. Should improve. Navy Jack was ahead of him at Sandown but there's surely more to come. |
|||
6th (2)  (28/1 -27%)Brunel Nation |
28/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Brunel Nation 28/1, £95,000 yearling, 130,000 gns 2-y-o, Sioux Nation. Dam maiden, half-sister to very smart 1½m winner Ziyad. 11/1, eighth of 12 in novice at this course (6f, good) on debut 28 days ago. Open to progress. Not unfancied at 11-1 when beaten in the region of 5l over 6f here four weeks ago. |
|||
7th (8)  (14/1 +36%)Fox Legacy |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fox Legacy 14/1, Foaled February 8. Lope De Vega colt. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1¼m Possible Man and 6f/7f winner Bernardo O'Reilly, both useful. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). Half-brother to five winners including Ceiling Kitty (5f 2yo inc Group 2; RPR 104). |

2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Navy Jack 2/1, Bettered debut run when second of 10 in maiden at Sandown (7f, soft) 23 days ago, suited by the increased emphasis on stamina. Likely to improve again and form pick. Group 2-entered; finished well for second at Sandown and looks sure to be involved. |
|||
11th (14)  (40/1 -82%)Trefor |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Trefor 40/1, Foaled February 17. 100,000 gns yearling, Invincible Army colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Wings of A Dove.

13th (10)  (100/1 +0%)Homme De Fer |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Ralph Beckett has been in irresistible form recently and he could continue that trend with FARIZIO. By Dubawi out of a Frankel mare, there is enough to suggest this initial test of stamina will suit, for all that he is likely to come into his own over further. Navy Jack (second) had the benefit of previous experience when finishing ahead of Highland Spring (fourth) at Sandown, but William Haggas' colt could reverse that form with improvement on the cards. Fire Demon is also noted.
NAVY JACK stepped up on debut when beaten only by a smart prospect at Sandown and makes the most appeal with further progress likely. Dancing Gemini is worth another chance to build on debut back in calmer waters so is next best ahead of Highland Spring, who was just under 2 lengths behind the selection at Sandown on debut.
Some interesting newcomers but there's decent form on show and HIGHLAND SPRING should be all the wiser for his Sandown experience.

(11)  (3/1 +33%)Feud |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Feud 3/1, Found some improvement upped to this sort of trip when opening account at Haydock (11.6f) 2 starts back and matched that level when runner-up to a fellow 3-y-o at Catterick (12f) 24 days ago, staying on. Yard continue in tremendous form. 1st and 2nd in handicaps at about 1m4f on last two starts but needs to find extra. |
|||
(1)  (4.5/1 +25%)Dubai Welcome |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dubai Welcome 4.5/1, Very low-mileage 6-y-o who was twice a runner-up on AW upon returning from a lengthy absence last summer. Possible 14f stretched his stamina on final start in Bet 365 Trophy at Newmarket last July but unlikely to be lacking for fitness on return from another lengthy absence. Has shown he can go well after a layoff but now needs to show he can do it on turf. |
|||
(6)  (5/1 +9%)Lion Kingdom |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lion Kingdom 5/1, Improved with each of his 3 starts as a juvenile and shaped well on 2 of his 3 starts this term, that despite not looking well served by the steady tempo when second at Newmarket (10f) in July. Likely there's more to come from him granted a greater test of stamina. The way he grabbed second so late in the day at Newmarket (1m2f) gave hope for 1m4f. |
|||
(10)  (5.5/1 +50%)El Jasor |
5.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) El Jasor 5.5/1, Le Havre colt. Promise on second of 3 starts in novice/maiden company and much improved to make winning handicap debut at Redcar (10f) in June, overcoming a pace bias. York run since was underwhelming but likelihood is he remains on a good mark. Up in trip. Shapes as if worth a go at 1m4f and interesting if bouncing back to form after latest run. |
|||
(9)  (6/1 -50%)Scintillante |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Scintillante 6/1, Promising sort who opened his account at Chester in July and would probably have been second (finished fourth) had he not been checked in his run at Ascot (12f) last time. Still going right way and he's one to be interested in. Progressing; caught in a pocket at crucial stage when running-on fourth at Ascot (1m4f). |
|||
(2)  (11/1 -22%)Valsad |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Valsad 11/1, Ready winner of a 4-runner novice (11.6f) last spring. Lightly raced after, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Haydock (14f) on final outing in July. Gelded, proved to be a disappointment (very well backed) at Doncaster in May but in good hands and not one to give up on. Good 3rd (1m6f, soft) last July; absent until tailed off (1m4f, soft) this May as 6-4 fav. |
|||
(12)  (12/1 +25%)Enochdhu |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Enochdhu 12/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs and sharper for reappearance run when successful at Windsor (11.5f, soft) in May.Mixed bag subsequently but he did run up to best (granted run of the race) when second at Sandown (14f, heavy) 17 days ago. It looks as if any recent rain will help; relatively exposed and needs a bit better. |
|||
(14)  (12/1 +33%)Order Of Malta |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Order Of Malta 12/1, Much improved having been gelded when landing 4-runner Nottingham novice (10.2f) in July. Could only run to a similar level when fourth on handicap bow at Newmarket (10f) 21 days ago but plenty about him physically to think he can do better still. Up in trip. Favourite, fair rallying fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m2f) but Lion Kingdom passed him. |
|||
(3)  (16/1 +0%)Croeso Cymraeg |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Croeso Cymraeg 16/1, 9-y-o who confirmed himself back at the top of his game when landing handicap at Salisbury (12f) for second consecutive season last month. Confirmed he remains in good order when fourth eased in trip at Sandown (10f) since but this tougher facing less exposed sorts. Grand 9yo; latest win at Salisbury (1m4f) last month from Eagle Court; each-way candidate. |
|||
(7)  (40/1 -233%)Eagle Court |
40/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Eagle Court 40/1, Opened account for present yard at Salisbury (12f) in May and having not got home back at 2m next time, quickly returned to form when runner-up behind Croeso Cymraeg at first-named venue in July. However, another who may prove vulnerable to younger rivals in this line up. Won over 1m4f at Salisbury in May and second to Croeso Cymraeg over that same C&D latest. |
|||
(5)  (40/1 -60%)Greystoke |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Greystoke 40/1, In good form on AW and justified good support to resume winning ways back on turf at Chester (12.3f, soft) in May. Seemingly not 100% when well held sixth over C&D when last seen in June and bounce back likely for all he's yet to defy a mark this high. Won comfortably at Chester (1m4f, soft) in May, clear personal best; backward steps since. |
|||
(13)  (80/1 -100%)Clever Relation |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Clever Relation 80/1, Made a winning start at Windsor (10f, heavy) but unable to replicate that either start since, dropping away from 2f out when sixth of 7 in a 10f novice here last month. Steps up in trip for handicap debut and connections quick to reach for the blinkers. Dam was a good stayer; ready winner on debut but something amiss both runs since; blinkers. |
|||
(8)  (125/1 -400%)Renardeau |
125/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Renardeau 125/1, 7-y-o who has twice shaped well returning from a lengthy absence, second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f) in February. able to race off 3 lb lower mark back on turf but this looks a tough enough ask back from another 6 months off. Placed twice on AW in February; failed to shine in 2020 when last seen on Flat turf. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This represents a significant drop in class for DUBAI WELCOME and this still low-mileage gelding is fancied to justify why Godolphin are persevering with him at the age of six. Stepping back from 1m6f could also be key to his chance on his return and a breakthrough success on turf could be imminent for the son of Dubawi. There may also be more to come from Lion Kingdom and Scintillante, who head the list of dangers.
A winner at Chester 2 starts back, SCINTILLANTE would highly likely have finished runner-up but for getting his run checked at a crucial stage when fourth behind a rapidly improving William Haggas in-mate at Ascot 3 weeks ago. Open to further progress, he can confirm his present mark workable, with fellow 3-y-o Lion Kingdom next best. Valsad, a disappointment at Doncaster in the spring, isn't one to give up on and along with Vaynor, completes the shortlist.
Half are 3yos and several of those bring serious hopes of improvement, with SCINTILLANTE tipped ahead of Lion Kingdom.

(7)  (2.25/1 +32%)Greek Order |
2.25/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Greek Order 2.25/1, Well-bred Kingman colt who has already shown fairly useful form and overcame a slow start to score on his handicap debut at Sandown in May. Off since but he has more to come up in trip and makes plenty of appeal. Improved to win at Sandown (1m, good) in May on handicap debut latest; interesting at 1m2f. |
|||
(1)  (4/1 -14%)Imperial Emperor |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Imperial Emperor 4/1, Dubawi colt who made it 2-2 in 1m Newmarket novice in June. Only fifth of 6 to Nostrum in listed race at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 37 days ago but sort to bounce back now going up in trip on his handicap debut. Tongue strap on 1st time. Won twice before coming up well short in 1m Listed race; gelded; pedigree is for 1m2f+. |
|||
(2)  (4/1 +38%)Tony Montana |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tony Montana 4/1, 425,000 gns Kingman colt who opened his account in a C&D novice in July. Posted a solid fourth switched to handicaps at Goodwood since. Not ruled out off the same mark. 8-13 for his C&D novice win in July; respectable handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f, soft). |
|||
(8)  (6/1 +45%)Cracksking |
6/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cracksking 6/1, Progressive maiden. 4/1, very good second of 7 to Tony Montana in minor event at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes handicap debut. Ought to be in the shake-up. Still learning when never-nearer second to Tony Montana in C&D novice (good) last time. |
|||
(6)  (8.5/1 +0%)Rogue Sea |
8.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rogue Sea 8.5/1, Looked quite useful when winning 2 novices over 1¼m. Raced too freely over much longer trip at Haydock on handicap debut but a well-run race over this distance offers a more suitable test. Won novices at 1m2f and 1m3f; too free (also met trouble) upped to 1m6f for handicap debut. |
|||
(5)  (11/1 -69%)Intricacy |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Intricacy 11/1, Already developing a consistent record and scored readily in first-time cheekpieces at Ascot in July. Solid fourth of 12 at Goodwood since so he's shortlisted. Had to come from last at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to soft) and finished fourth of 12. |
|||
(9)  (12/1 +14%)She's Hot |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) She's Hot 12/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time (and had breathing operation), good fifth in 1m handicap at Goodwood. Refused to race in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good) 9 days ago though so others appeal more. Stays 1m2f but needs improvement and refused to race at Chepstow nine days ago. |
|||
(4)  (25/1 -79%)Maximilian Caesar |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Maximilian Caesar 25/1, Wide-margin winner in 1m handicap at Doncaster on return. Got back on track when second of four in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 50 days ago. Enters calculations now stepping up in trip. This new trip might be within reach; it needs to spark renewed improvement, though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
TONY MONTANA had two and a half lengths to spare over Cracksking when they met over C&D last month and having subsequently run with credit in a deeper race at Glorious Goodwood, he can confirm the form and looks the one to be with at this level. Greek Order has scope to improve further over this distance and also commands respect, while Bleak is another strong contender from a top yard to seriously consider.
Some promising sorts in opposition but the vote goes to BLEAK who hasn't looked back since being gelded and can quickly resume winning ways on the back of his excellent York second. Greek Order has been off the track since May but is still feared most off a handy-looking mark, with Cracksking, Rogue Sea and Tony Montana all in the mix too.
Well held in a 1m Listed race last time, the now-gelded IMPERIAL EMPEROR is given another chance with today's step up in trip.

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.
