1st (10)  (6/1 +14%)No Half Measures |
6/1(+14%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) No Half Measures 6/1, Having an excellent first season, recording her fifth win in listed race at Deauville last month. Nearest at the finish when close sixth in Group 3 at Longchamp on Sunday and she's not taken lightly. Generally progressive; close sixth in Longchamp Group 3 last Sunday; still of interest. |
|||
2nd (11)  (7/2 +36%)Relief Rally |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Relief Rally 7/2, Won 4 of 5 starts at 2 yrs, including Super Sprint over C&D and Lowther at York. Failed to see out the 1f longer trip in Fred Darling on return before good second to Elite Status in listed race at this course in May. That form has worked out well so she's an interesting runner on first outing since. Won the Super Sprint over C&D in 2023; ran creditably in Listed race here four months ago. |
|||
3rd (3)  (5/1 -67%)Annaf |
5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Annaf 5/1, Better than ever when winning last 2 starts last term, namely Portland Handicap at Doncaster and Group 3 at Ascot. Added another win to his tally in Group 2 Turf Sprint at King Abdulaziz in February. Easy to forgive comeback run in Sprint Cup at Haydock 2 weeks ago and form pick back down in class. 7f Group 2 win at Riyadh in February; leading player provided he still has the pace for 5f. |
|||
4th (4)  (9/1 +10%)Democracy Dilemma |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Democracy Dilemma 9/1, Has had a fine season and recorded his first success at listed level when making all in the Beverley Bullet 3 weeks ago, all out to hold off Albasheer. Likely to give it another good shot. Largely consistent this year; held on narrowly from Albasheer in the Beverley Bullet. |
|||
5th (1)  (25/1 -25%)Seven Questions |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Seven Questions 25/1, Not the most straightforward but he took his form to another level in first-time headgear when 33/1 winner of Palace House at Newmarket (5f, good) in April. Regressive since, however, so easy enough to look elsewhere. Change of headgear. Won this year's Palace House in first-time cheekpieces; switch to blinkers may suit. |
|||
6th (9)  (9/4 +65%)Adaay In Devon |
9/4(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Adaay In Devon 9/4, Smart filly who bagged her third win this year in listed race at Sandown in June. Decent efforts in defeat since and should be in the mix again. Productive and consistent; record of 6-11 on ground softer than good; major contender. |
|||
7th (2)  (8/1 -14%)Albasheer |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Albasheer 8/1, Bagged his third win this year at Ascot in July and excellent runner-up efforts last 2 starts, including when close fourth in Portland Handicap at Doncaster last week. Well worth another shot at this level. Ties in closely with Democracy Dilemma on Beverley running; finished well in the Portland. |
|||
8th (7)  (18/1 +36%)Significantly |
18/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Significantly 18/1, Likeable sprinter who won Ayr Gold Cup last season in between 2 big efforts in valuable handicaps. Better for return when close sixth in a Group 3 at Newmarket, likely to have gone very close with a better passage. Shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off at York last week and respected. Landed the Ayr Gold Cup on this day in 2023; not particularly solid on 2024 form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Albasheer sat at the head of the Ayr Gold Cup market so it is interesting he has been diverted here. Last week's Portland effort was a cracker given his big weight and poor passage through the race, and he was just denied by Democracy Dilemma in the Beverley Bullet prior to that. However, in ANNAF, he comes up against a rival rated 9lb higher who can atone for a Haydock Sprint Cup run where nothing really went right. Relief Rally has been off since beating Adaay In Devon to second in the Carnarvon here, but is a high-class filly if ready to roll.
ANNAF escapes a penalty for his Group 2 win in Saudi Arabia early in the year and his recent comeback run in the Haydock Sprint Cup should leave him spot on for this. Three-year-olds have won 3 of the last 4 renewals and they again play a strong hand this year with No Half Measures, Relief Rally and Adaay In Devon all lively contenders.
The vote goes to RELIEF RALLY, who has a strong record over sprint trips, including at Newbury. Adaay In Devon is second choice.

1st (3)  (10/1 +38%)Not So Sleepy |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Not So Sleepy 10/1, Gained a first Flat win in over 3 years at this C&D last September and, after a Grade 1 success over hurdles, has made the frame back on the level last 2 starts, fourth of 14 at Epsom (12f) on his latest run in June. Can give his running once again. Won this on heavy last year; significant rain over the last day or so will probably help. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/1 +13%)Chillingham |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chillingham 7/1, Useful handicapper who ran well when third at Ripon in April and York in May (both at 12f). Shaped as if still in good form after 3 months off when mid-field in the Ebor (13.8f) on his latest outing, racing freely, so he enters calculations. Faded in the Ebor; reliable over 1m4f/1m6f, perhaps ideally suited by softer than good. |
|||
3rd (15)  (11/1 +39%)Ithaca's Arrow |
11/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Ithaca's Arrow 11/1, Having won over hurdles in the spring, went one better than on his Flat comeback when scoring at Chester (12.3f) a week ago. This is tougher upped in grade, but he remains unexposed as a stayer making only his second start at this trip. Up another 5lb; rising force who won in clearcut style at Chester (1m4f, soft) a week ago. |
|||
4th (13)  (18/1 -64%)Kotari |
18/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Kotari 18/1, Has shown improved form back on the level after a spell over hurdles, completing the hat-trick when successful at Ascot (12f) in May. Ran creditably upped in grade when fifth of 16 at Epsom in June, so he's not dismissed after 112 days off. Can race freely but this new trip is well worth a go; off 112 days but needs a close look. |
|||
5th (12)  (7/2 +13%)Waxing Gibbous |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Waxing Gibbous 7/2, Has progressed with each start this year sent handicapping, getting off the mark at this course (12f) in May before going close when runner-up the last twice. Saw out the longer trip thoroughly at Haydock (14f) 2 weeks ago and she's not taken lightly. Progressive and, although up another 5lb, should put up another bold show if ground okay. |
|||
6th (5)  (9/2 +18%)Lieber Power |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lieber Power 9/2, Has thrived since stepped up to 12f this summer, winning at York and a Racing League contest at Chepstow. Only narrowly denied last 2 starts, left poorly placed back at York last time, so he's a major player with this longer trip likely to suit. Unraced on soft; in the form of his life at about 1m4f this summer, likely to stay further. |
|||
7th (1)  (28/1 -12%)Grand Alliance |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Grand Alliance 28/1, Smart performer in 2023, making a winning return in the Group 3 John Porter. Runner-up in a Group 2 at Deauville (14.9f) on final outing that year, but after 13 months off he finished well held at Haydock a fortnight ago. Others preferred. No show in 1m6f handicap at Haydock (14-1) two weeks ago after a year off. |
|||
8th (9)  (5/1 +41%)Our Golden One |
5/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Our Golden One 5/1, Maiden winner at 2 yrs who made a successful handicap/seasonal debut at Doncaster (10.2f) in April. After a couple of runs in listed company, showed improved form back in a handicap at Goodwood (12f) last month, so she could be in the mix. Excellent 2nd of six in handicap at Goodwood (1m4f, soft) which made this trip look viable. |
|||
9th (11)  (14/1 +30%)Flash Bardot |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Flash Bardot 14/1, Good record in the mud, successful on reappearance in fillies' handicap at Doncaster (11.9f) in April. Hasn't been able to match that level since, though, including back on her favoured ground at Hamilton (12.1f, heavy) last month. Best in the mud, but did not show it when disappointing on heavy going last time. |
|||
10th (8)  (50/1 +0%)Two Brothers |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Two Brothers 50/1, Successful 3 times last season and posted a career-best display when winning at Thirsk (12f, heavy) in April. However, Not in the same form since, looking a bit rusty after 10 weeks off when last of 6 at York (11.8f) in July. Has work to do. Drying ground would seemingly be against him, but of interest if there's been a downpour. |
|||
11th (10)  (18/1 -29%)Knightswood |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Knightswood 18/1, Winless this season but has largely performed with credit, making the frame once more when fourth of 16 at Haydock (14f) 2 weeks ago, though Waxing Gibbous was ahead in second. Can give another good account. Fourth of 15 in valuable event at Haydock two weeks ago but below form in going down by 9l. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
This is potentially Not So Sleepy's swansong and it would be great if he could bow out with a repeat of last year's victory. He comes up against some rapidly improving four-year-olds, though, with LIEBER POWER's arguably unlucky York second boosted by the winner then going close in the Mallard. Waxing Gibbous so nearly lifted the Old Borough Cup and should be bang there again, and Ithaca's Arrow has to enter the reckoning following last week's impressive Chester triumph. The three-year-old Our Golden One is another to consider.
LIEBER POWER has been progressing well since upped in trip, splitting a pair who were ridden more prominently when runner-up at York last time, so he is taken to record a third win of the season this time around. Heading the list of dangers is Waxing Gibbous, who is respected with the potential of more still to offer, while Chillingham is also considered.
On soft or heavy ground, the best options may well be ITHACA'S ARROW (nap) and Oh So Sleepy.

1st (10)  (3/1 +85%)Mustazeed |
3/1(+85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mustazeed 3/1, Back-to-back C&D winner (heavy and good to firm) at the beginning of last season and returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Ascot in July. Best to draw a line through subsequent Goodwood effort (lost all chance at the start) and he merits respect back here. Engaged 5.15 here on Friday. Dual C&D winner; more exposed than a few of today's rivals but good 2nd here yesterday. |
|||
2nd (1)  (7/2 +75%)Bolster |
7/2(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bolster 7/2, Posted smart handicap performances when winning over this trip at Pontefract (heavy) and Epsom (soft) in the spring. Hasn't reproduced that form in Group races since but may do better with his sights lowered and back on what could be a softer surface. Made most for two 1m2f wins on softer than good this spring; Group races tough since. |
|||
3rd (6)  (11/2 +21%)Whip Cracker |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Whip Cracker 11/2, Returned with a very useful effort when second in 9f Newmarket listed race in April. Failed to reproduce that in another Newmarket listed race (1¼m) and the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m) in the first half of the summer. Subsequently gelded. Ryan Moore booked and he's lightly raced. Last seen at Royal Ascot; gelded; lightly raced and not fully exposed but bit to prove too. |
|||
4th (4)  (9/1 +25%)Laafi |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Laafi 9/1, Pretty smart handicap performance when scoring over this trip at Newmarket (soft) last November but disappointed in the Rosebery at Kempton (11f) on reappearance in April and absent again since. Something of an enigma but a well-handicapped one judged on heavy-ground win last November. |
|||
5th (2)  (4/1 +20%)Involvement |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Involvement 4/1, Good efforts in the Silver Bowl at Haydock and Britannia at Royal Ascot before coming good when upped to 1¼m at the Newmarket July meeting. Good ½-length third of 6 to Flying Frontier in handicap (13/8) at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Should be in the thick of things again. 1m2f winner at Newmarket July festival and close 3rd of six to Flying Frontier at Sandown. |
|||
6th (11)  (50/1 0%)Gray's Inn |
50/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Gray's Inn 50/1, Dual winner in a busy 2-y-o campaign but came up well short in listed races on first 2 outings this year and made no significant impact in a Glorious Goodwood handicap at the end of July. Dropped 2 lb since but it doesn't look enough. Ran well on soft last season; lacks solid claims this term. |
|||
7th (8)  (18/1 -80%)Canoodled |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Canoodled 18/1, Suited by a step up to 1¼m when landing a big-field handicap at last month's York Ebor meeting. 5 lb higher now but she's unexposed at this trip. 6yo whose first run at about 1m2f was a winning one at York Ebor meeting (good to firm). |
|||
8th (9)  (14/1 +13%)Houstonn |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Houstonn 14/1, Opened his account in maiden company at Windsor in July and placed twice in handicaps last month, latterly over C&D (all good to firm). Possibly unsuited by a softer surface when well held at Ascot a fortnight ago. Eight races, the clear best efforts being his four runs on good to firm. |
|||
9th (7)  (12/1 -50%)Fantasy Believer |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fantasy Believer 12/1, Better than ever as a 7-y-o, overcoming his regular slow starts to land a hat-trick of handicap successes since returning to action in July. Should continue to give a good account. 3-3 this term; up another 6lb but it's hard to rule out one who's been in form of his life. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Five wins and a second since joining Marcus Tregoning has seen Quietness' rating rocket by 27lb. She didn't look done with yet at Beverley latest, while Fantasy Believer arrives on a four-timer but perhaps has less scope for improvement. Flying Frontier burst back into life at Sandown, but was only half a length ahead of third home INVOLVEMENT and the Crisfords' colt is taken to gain his revenge, given he is a little more reliable. Bolster is interesting back in handicap company and Whip Cracker, who has been placed in Listed races, has been gelded since coming up short in the Britannia.
FLYING FRONTIER had Involvement behind him when scoring at Sandown last month and is taken to show he's still a step ahead of the handicapper. His old rival boasts lots of solid form this season and is second choice ahead of the thriving Fantasy Believer and C&D specialist Mustazeed.
While his supporters would need to forgive two modest displays in Group races, BOLSTER has a big shout judged on his wins this spring.

1st (6)  (5/2 +9%)Powerful Glory |
5/2(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Powerful Glory 5/2, £190,000 buy earlier in the year who was sent off at 10-11 when readily making a winning debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month. Good prospect for a yard which has won this before. Impressive in newcomers' race at Pontefract; well regarded by his trainer; smart prospect. |
|||
2nd (5)  (28/1 +0%)La Bellota |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) La Bellota 28/1, Useful form at 5f, finishing runner-up on first 2 starts before a very good fifth of 16 in a York listed race. Tackles 6f for the first time now. Big improvement needed if he's to land a first career success in this Group 2. Has progressive 5f form but doesn't appear to be crying out for this extra furlong yet. |
|||
3rd (2)  (8/1 +76%)Billboard Star |
8/1(+76%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Billboard Star 8/1, Raced only at 6f, winning a Newmarket novice (good to firm) in June. Very useful efforts when reaching the frame in Group 2s at Newmarket July meeting and Glorious Goodwood but he ran poorly in the Gimcrack at York last time. Made the frame in the July Stakes and the Richmond then suffered bad luck in the Gimcrack. |
|||
4th (9)  (7/1 +79%)Star Anthem |
7/1(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Star Anthem 7/1, Bath maiden winner who has been off since finishing 1¾ lengths eighth of 22 to Rashabar in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) in June, nearest finish. Absent since running well in the Coventry at Royal Ascot; heed the market signals. |
|||
5th (3)  (15/8 +81%)Brian |
15/8(+81%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Brian 15/8, C&D winner who recorded a big career best when easily winning a valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f, soft) last month. Backed up that improvement when ½-length third of 10 to Symbol of Strength in Group 3 Sirenia at Kempton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago. 2-2 on softer than good; close third to Symbol Of Strength on AW last time; consistent. |
|||
6th (7)  (4/1 +75%)Sarab Star |
4/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sarab Star 4/1, Zoustar colt from a good family who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. This is a big jump in class but he's open to progress. Showed a game attitude at Salisbury for a winning debut; has G1 entries; open to progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Defence Minister made it a perfect two from two when scoring readily over 6f at Haydock recently, and the son of Too Darn Hot warrants the utmost respect for his in-form stable. That said, it may pay to side with POWERFUL GLORY. The Richard Fahey-trained colt was strong in the market prior to running out a decisive winner of a Pontefract maiden on his debut last month, and he gets the vote to find the necessary improvement to land Group 2 honours second time up. Runner-up in the Gimcrack latest when bidding to make it three wins from three, the steadily progressive Shadow Of Light also merits careful consideration.
SHADOW OF LIGHT had subsequent Sirenia winner Symbol of Strength a place behind him in the Gimcrack and is taken to confirm his narrow superiority over Adrian Keatley's charge. Andesite was over 5 lengths behind that pair in the Gimcrack but that was his first run since a debut success in May and it would be no surprise to see Karl Burke's charge get a lot closer to them this time. Easy debut Pontefract scorer Powerful Glory is another fascinating contender.
Some of his rivals bring better form but highly regarded POWERFUL GLORY brings major potential. Shadow Of Light is respected.

1st (9)  (5/2 +9%)Stem |
5/2(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Stem 5/2, Foaled April 26. €23,000 foal, €120,000 2-y-o, Calyx colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Malossol. Interesting newcomer. 120,000euros breeze-up 2yo by Calyx; late foal but needs a close look. |
|||
2nd (10)  (13/2 +54%)Tequila Star |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Tequila Star 13/2, Sent off 80/1 and ran to just a modest level when seventh of 10 in 7f maiden at Sandown (good) on debut 22 days ago. Should improve. 80-1 for maiden at Sandown (7f, good) when never-dangerous seventh of ten after slow start. |
|||
3rd (1)  (9/4 -80%)The Fingal Raven |
9/4(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Fingal Raven 9/4, Tall colt who showed improved form to get off the mark in 13-runner novice at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago, travelling well and leading 2f out. May do better still and has strong claims under a penalty. Won in good style at Kempton (7f, AW) latest; has almost the only worthwhile form in this. |
|||
4th (7)  (14/1 +58%)Secret Mission |
14/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Secret Mission 14/1, Has a good pedigree but finished last of 7 at Ffos Las on debut 66 days ago. 10-1, last of seven in maiden at Ffos Las (6f, maiden) in July, so needs a transformation. |
|||
5th (2)  (11/2 +61%)Al Samed |
11/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Al Samed 11/2, Well-bred son of Dubawi who could hardly have shown any less on his recent debut at Ascot. Should be capable of better. By Dubawi; 12-1 for a maiden at Ascot (7f, soft) 15 days ago and finished out the back. |
|||
6th (8)  (6/1 -20%)Shiplake |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shiplake 6/1, Foaled March 15. €75,000 yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Half-brother to winner abroad by Sea The Stars. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 13.3f/1¾m winner (stays 16.5f) Night Sparkle. Plenty to like on paper. 75,000euros yearling; trainer quiet with 2yos but had a pretty useful sort win this month. |
|||
7th (11)  (100/1 -100%)Downcliffe Flyer |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Downcliffe Flyer 100/1, Down the field in 2 novice events. Sixth of seven at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy) and last of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
In what looks a trappy affair, a chance is taken on last-time-out winner THE FINGAL RAVEN. The son of Mehmas impressed when coming clear of his rivals in the closing stages over 7f at Kempton earlier this month, and he looks capable of putting his relative experience to good use against some unexposed rivals. The booking of Ryan Moore aboard Stem catches the eye and the 120,000-euro breeze-up purchase is respected most out of the newcomers before market clues are known. Al Samed and Shiplake also warrant respect.
THE FINGAL RAVEN left his previous efforts behind when opening his account in decisive fashion at Kempton 17 days ago and, with his physique pointing towards further improvement, he looks up to defying a penalty. Stem and Shiplake are a pair of interesting newcomers who require close market scrutiny.
With so little form among his rivals, the most likely dangers to THE FINGAL RAVEN are the newcomers Stem and Shiplake.

9/4(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) One More 9/4, Promising second of 13 in novice (50/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 17 days ago, doing his best work late on. Sure to improve so this son of No Nay Never has a big shout with Ryan Moore now up. 50-1, ran on nicely into second of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f, AW) 17 days ago. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
One More made a pleasing start when finishing second over 7f at Kempton on his debut earlier this month, and the son of No Nay Never warrants the utmost respect in a bid to go one place better. That said, preference is for ARCTIC VOYAGE. The Clipper Logistics-owned Kingman colt is a half-brother to the very smart Lady Bowthorpe and, with the Ralph Beckett yard in fine form at present, it would be no surprise if he were precocious enough to score at the first time of asking. The King's Falcon is another noteworthy newcomer.
Not much form to go on but Richard Hannon's No Nay Never colt ONE MORE shaped well on his debut when running on into second at Kempton and can put that experience to good use here with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Newcomers Arctic Voyage (second choice) and The King's Falcon both bring a fair bit of potential and could emerge as the main dangers, with Make You Smile another debutant to consider.
One More made a promising debut, as did DRAGONFLAME. The King's Falcon and Arctic Voyage are newcomers to check out.

1st (5)  (11/4 +50%)Movie Maker |
11/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Movie Maker 11/4, Much improved from debut when getting off the mark in convincing fashion here 12 months ago and probably needed the run when fourth of 15 in Jumeirah Guineas Trial at Meydan (7f, good) back in January. Not seen since but remains with potential on handicap debut (has been gelded). Easily won a maiden contest here a year ago; interesting returned to Newbury. |
|||
2nd (6)  (5/1 -11%)Amphius |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Amphius 5/1, Stood out on form and didn't need to repeat the form of his handicap second at Kempton to get off the mark in 4-runner maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Back in a handicap (from 4 lb higher) and can kick on now up and running. Took advantage of a good opportunity last time; has a strong piece of Newbury form. |
|||
3rd (19)  (11/4 +86%)City Of York |
11/4(+86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) City Of York 11/4, Ridden a little closer to the pace and turned in his best effort of the season down in grade when runner-up at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Back down at 7f for the first time since his 2-y-o days and rates a major player from the same mark with De Sousa likely to be positive. Successful in the 1m handicap on this card last year; interesting back here. |
|||
4th (11)  (11/2 +54%)Metaverse |
11/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Metaverse 11/2, Gained reward for consistency and underlined that he's still going the right way when winning at Newmarket in July. Seemed unsuited by the track when well beaten at Goodwood later that month and can get back on an upward trajectory. Below par last time; solid record otherwise since wearing a hood; may rebound. |
|||
5th (20)  (50/1 -100%)King Cabo |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (20) King Cabo 50/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to give his rider a first winner at Lingfield in August. Not in the same form in more competitive events the last twice and this even tougher. Ran respectably over C&D in August but this looks a stiffer assignment. |
|||
6th (15)  (4/1 +60%)Run Boy Run |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Run Boy Run 4/1, Winner of a Newcastle maiden in March and has improved since the application of cheekpieces, winning twice over 7f at Newmarket (good to firm/soft) last month. Had winning run ended but continued at the very top of his game when third at Ascot recently and should go well again. Ran creditably at Ascot two weeks ago when bidding for hat-trick; still of interest. |
|||
7th (10)  (33/1 -65%)Mustajaab |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mustajaab 33/1, Made it 2-2 on the AW when scoring with plenty to spare on return/first run since being gelded at Southwell (7f) in April. However, it's been a bit of a struggle on turf since, but he did take a step back in the right direction back on softer ground at Ascot recently. Only 1-14 on turf; 2-2 on AW and may be more interesting back in that sphere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A brother to Group 3 winner Sangarius, AMPHIUS has yet to live up to his pedigree, but he looked on good terms with himself when breaking his duck at Beverley last month and a mark of 91 could still underestimate his potential. A seven-year-old who has run off higher marks in the past, Persuasion is entitled to be thereabouts after his Haydock success, while Harvard Sound could be anything after comfortably scoring over 7f on Lingfield's turf course on both starts since his debut. The progressive Run Boy Run and C&D winner North View are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Cases can be made for a number of these, so it could pay to take a chance on CITY OF YORK, who was last seen in winning action when completing a hat-trick on this card last year and he turned in his best effort of the season when runner-up at Southwell earlier this month. North View got off the mark for the campaign partnered by Buick for the first time over C&D recently so heads up the dangers, while Amphius, Movie Maker and Noodle Mission all merit consideration, too.
The Newbury factor makes several runners look interesting. The suggestion is CITY OF YORK, ahead of North View.

1st (7)  (7/2 +56%)Atlantic Gamble |
7/2(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Atlantic Gamble 7/2, Likeable type who added to an excellent strike rate this year when grinding out another success at Kempton last month. Should be on the premises again. Generally progressive and has a record of 5-7 in handicaps; enters calculations. |
|||
2nd (8)  (11/2 +45%)Phoenix Passion |
11/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Phoenix Passion 11/2, Has thrived this year, completing the four-timer when dead-heating at Kempton (1m) in June. Winning run came to an end at same course last time but he's liable to give another good account. Strike-rate of 5-8 in handicaps; ran creditably last time and remains in form. |
|||
3rd (12)  (22/1 -10%)Dramatic Effect |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Dramatic Effect 22/1, Narrowly opened account in a novice event at Goodwood (8f) in June but not much of a threat since and others look better treated. May benefit from the first-time hood, having often failed to settle. |
|||
4th (2)  (2/1 +71%)Kodi Lion |
2/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kodi Lion 2/1, Improving sort who scored at Ascot in July and backed it up with a solid showing in a 'Racing League' handicap at Southwell last time. Promises to be well suited by this distance and is worth chancing. Has largely consistent 6f/7f form, including a record of 121 on turf; new trip. |
|||
5th (3)  (7/2 +71%)Urban Lion |
7/2(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Urban Lion 7/2, Mid-division in one of the hottest novices of the year on his 1m Newmarket debut in June and landed the odds in a 1m Chelmsford maiden 8 weeks later. Not disgraced at Goodwood since and drops back in trip for handicap debut. Ran well under a penalty in Goodwood novice event last time; handicap debut. |
|||
6th (10)  (18/1 -350%)Sedgemoor |
18/1(-350%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sedgemoor 18/1, Has few miles on the clock and upped his game significantly when scoring easily despite a slow start at Haydock 3 months ago. Off since but capable of better still. Absent since Haydock win in June when making handicap debut; check the betting. |
|||
7th (14)  (33/1 +0%)Aljezur |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Aljezur 33/1, Has run respectably the last twice and is on a fair mark but he's likely to find this too competitive. Far from consistent this year and remains a maiden. |
|||
8th (13)  (11/1 +8%)Thorntonledale Max |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Thorntonledale Max 11/1, Lightly raced gelding who left previous efforts behind when off the mark in a 9-runner contest at Kempton a month ago. Could do better again switched to turf. Dead-heated at Kempton on latest AW start; brother to the winner of this race last year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A gelding who only ever seems to do just enough when winning, GREAT CHIEFTAIN has consistently stayed ahead of the handicapper over the summer and a 3lb rise for his most recent success at Newmarket may not be enough to prevent him landing the hat-trick. Similar comments apply to Tribal Chief after getting up late to score off 6lb lower at Epsom recently, while the consistent Kodi Lion has his first go at 1m, having shaped as though he would be suited by going up in trip with fast-finishing efforts over 7f the last twice. Completing the shortlist are Atlantic Gamble, Retracement and Sedgemoor.
KODI LION is on the up and shaped well in a competitive event at Southwell last time, so he's worth a chance to defy this mark with the 1m trip sure to suit. Great Chieftain should be on the premises and Sedgemoor needs respecting based on the big impression he made at Haydock 3 months ago.
Judged on breeding this looks the perfect first turf assignment for THORNTONLEDALE MAX. Second choice is Tribal Chief.

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.
