1st (1)  (13/8 +7%)Zikany |
13/8(+7%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zikany 13/8, Fairly useful performer who left both previous starts behind this season when bolting up by 17 lengths in 11-runner handicap at Goodwood (16f, heavy) 12 days ago, benefiting from a patient ride the way the race developed. Leading claims under a penalty faced with similar conditions. Back to life for 17l win at Goodwood (2m, heavy) 12 days ago; well treated with a penalty. |
|||
2nd (6)  (8/1 +50%)Hartur D'oudairies |
8/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hartur D'oudairies 8/1, Has plenty of form in testing conditions over jumps and took a step forward on handicap debut in this sphere when sixth of 14 at York (10.2f, heavy) just under 2 weeks ago, staying on well. This extra distance is sure to suit so he shouldn't be underestimated. It's easy to think that he will be a lot more potent this time with the longer trip. |
|||
3rd (8)  (7/2 +75%)Grey Owl |
7/2(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Grey Owl 7/2, Got off the mark after a string of consistent efforts at Salisbury in August. Good third next time and shaped as if still in good form when 7½ lengths fourth of 10 to Russian Rumour at Bath (17.1f, heavy) recently, a longer trip and softer ground finding him out. Others more appealing. 1m6f win in August; looked stretched by 2m1f on heavy when 4th to Russian Rumour at Bath. |
|||
4th (3)  (7/1 -27%)Tailorman |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tailorman 7/1, Scrambled home at Kempton last month but having been sent off odds-on, disappointed off his new mark when 4¾ lengths last of 5 to Naasma back there (16f) 11 days ago, possible that waiting tactics in a race run at a dawdle didn't suit. Can bounce back returned to turf. Never having raced on worse than good to soft poses the biggest question. |
|||
5th (4)  (11/1 -83%)Russian Rumour |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Russian Rumour 11/1, Thorough stayer and relished a real slog to double his tally for the season in 10-runner handicap at Bath (17.1f, heavy) just over a fortnight ago, finding plenty when it looked like she was going to be swallowed up approaching 2f out. Just 3 lb higher here and should go well again. Ffos Las 2m win made it two good runs in a row on heavy, which demands plenty of respect. |
|||
6th (7)  (12/1 -33%)Surrey Charm |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Surrey Charm 12/1, Showed benefit of reappearance when second of 13 at Bath (13f, soft) earlier this month, doing all she could against an improved 3-y-o. Upped further in trip and will need a career best if she's to add another victory to her tally. Acts on heavy; never-nearer second of 13 at Bath (upped to 1m5f) on latest start. |
|||
7th (2)  (33/1 -313%)Naasma |
33/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Naasma 33/1, Reliable mare especially on all-weather and resumed winning ways from a mark just 1 lb higher than at Windsor on her reappearance in 5-runner handicap at Kempton (16f) 11 days ago, edging ahead final 100 yds. Carries a penalty but disappointed on sole previous start on soft last month. AW win last time; kept her form pretty well this term but the exception was on soft ground. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Zikany clearly needed a couple of runs to get back to peak fitness after a lengthy absence and he arrives carrying a 5lb penalty for a wide-margin success at Goodwood. A bold bid is expected once again with similar conditions prevailing, but recent Bath scorer RUSSIAN RUMOUR may have the edge. The daughter of Make Believe relished testing ground on that occasion and is only 3lb higher. Others to consider are Tailorman and Naasma.
It's hard to get away from ZIKANY, who sluiced through the mud to score by 17 lengths at Goodwood 12 days ago and a 5 lb penalty shouldn't be enough to prevent him from following up (due to be 4 lb higher in future). Russian Rumour doubled her tally for the campaign at Bath recently so she's put forward as the main threat, with Tailorman, who disappointed when sent off at odds-on at Kempton last time, rounding off the shortlist.
Zikany is hard to beat if judged on his recent Goodwood win but there is an interesting alternative in HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES (nap).

1st (9)  (15/8 +53%)Spirit Of Farhh |
15/8(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Spirit Of Farhh 15/8, Knew his job and shaped well when second on debut at Ascot (6f) and similar form when third of 13 in maiden at this course (6f, good to soft) 35 days ago, keeping on inside final 1f. Slightly longer trip here will suit and he ought to be thereabouts again. Clear promise in 6f contests on soft going, latest here; solid. |
|||
2nd (8)  (7/2 -75%)Marvelman |
7/2(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Marvelman 7/2, Invincible Spirit colt who showed ability amid clear signs of greenness on debut at Newmarket (7f) in June. Marked step forward when second of 6 in Salisbury conditions' event (6f) 3 weeks ago and big shout here with prospect of even more to come. Solid effort on heavy ground at Salisbury this month; major player. |
|||
3rd (12)  (2/1 +27%)Ultrasoul |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Ultrasoul 2/1, Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and he matched previous best when second of 10 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, firm) 37 days ago, no extra only late on behind a useful sort. Worthy of respect here. Thrice-raced colt who brings strong form and commands respect. |
|||
4th (6)  (125/1 -400%)Excellent Echo |
125/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Excellent Echo 125/1, Due Diligence colt. Showed benefit of his debut experience when seventh of 12 in maiden at this course (6f, good to soft, 125/1) 35 days ago, weakening when headed over 1f out. Syill. Likely handicaps will be more his bag moving forward. Handicaps likely to be more suitable shortly. |
|||
5th (4)  (10/1 -43%)Dannick |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dannick 10/1, Havana Grey colt who left his debut effort in his wake when third of 7 in novice at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, finishing with a flourish. Very much the type to go on improving and forecast conditions will clearly hold no fears. Finished third on heavy ground at Goodwood last time; in the mix. |
|||
6th (13)  (20/1 -100%)Boubou |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Boubou 20/1, Foaled February 7. €65,000 foal, €85,000 yearling, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Hurricane Ivor. Dam unraced. One to monitor in the betting for clues on debut. 85,000euros yearling; by Kodiac; major stable; check the betting. |
|||
7th (11)  (125/1 -213%)Tuco Salamanca |
125/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Tuco Salamanca 125/1, Son of Belardo who has run to a similar level both starts to date, eighth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) 9 days ago, not knocked about. Handicaps likely to be more his thing moving forward. Has plenty to find on his 7f AW efforts. |
|||
8th (10)  (20/1 +39%)The Outlaw |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) The Outlaw 20/1, New Bay colt who never figured in a couple of early season 6f maiden/novice events but given a break ahead of this and no surprise were he capable of better for his leading yard. One to monitor in the betting back from 138 days off. Needs to improve sharply on his May/June efforts. |
|||
9th (3)  (250/1 -25%)Bruce Banner |
250/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bruce Banner 250/1, Starspangledbanner gelding who has yet to beat a rival in trio of maiden/novice events at up to 7f. Can only be watched. Poor claims on form. |
|||
10th (7)  (20/1 -43%)Jarham |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jarham 20/1, Foaled March 21. 45,000 gns foal, 65,000 gns yearling, Territories colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Decisive Action and 2m winner Wholeofthemoon. Betting can provide a useful guide on racecourse bow. 65,000gns yearling; by Territories; yard has good record with 2yos. |
|||
11th (5)  (250/1 -150%)Dovey Moon |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dovey Moon 250/1, Massaat gelding. Looked very much in need of the experience when last of 12 in novice at Chelmsford (7f, 80/1) on debut 13 days ago, very slowly away and hanging badly right over 3f out. Easy to pass over. Tailed off at Chelmsford having hung badly right on the bend. |
|||
12th (1)  (40/1 -150%)Almutraf |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Almutraf 40/1, Foaled April 10. Profitable colt. Dam, 9.4f winner, half-sister to useful 1¼m-1½m winner (stayed 14.5f) Detailed. Worth a check in the betting for clues on debut. Profitable colt; yard has a low strike-rate with 2yos this term. |
|||
13th (2)  (200/1 -300%)Blackbrook |
200/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blackbrook 200/1, Foaled April 10. Nathaniel colt. Half-brother to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Bad Company and 5f winner Sparked. Dam 5f/6f winner. Wears hood. Family has tended to get better with age/experience. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Ultrasoul has shown a decent level of form in the Convivial and with two runner-up efforts at Yarmouth so commands the utmost respect. That said, conditions are much different to what he has encountered to date and MARVELMAN, who was runner-up at Salisbury on heavy ground earlier in the month, appeals more. That was a step forward from his first start and he appears capable of further progression. Spirit Of Farhh has finished in the frame twice on soft ground and has to enter calculations too.
MARVELMAN took a marked step forward from his debut effort when runner-up in a Salisbury conditions' event 3 weeks ago and he holds sound claims back down in class with the prospect of more to come. Ultrasoul and Spirit of Farhh may emerge as the chief threats, though Dannick also commands respect following his eye-catching Goodwood third 12 days ago.
Thrice-raced ULTRASOUL brings strong form and may get off the mark, provided he handles the ground. Spirit Of Farhh is second pick.

1st (7)  (10/3 +17%)Mercian Warrior |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mercian Warrior 10/3, Eased in weights a little and confirmed promise of his Bath second when going one place better at Ascot (7f) 3 weeks ago, looking firmly at home back on a softer surface. Well worth considering up 5 lb. Clearcut win at Ascot three weeks ago, seeming well suited by the switch to slower ground. |
|||
2nd (6)  (17/2 -183%)Kodi Lion |
17/2(-183%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kodi Lion 17/2, Improving sort who scored at Ascot in July and hard to knock his consistency in defeat since, step up to 1m on testing ground possibly catching him out when fourth here 5 weeks ago. Remains one to be interested in back at 7f. Consistent this season; ran creditably on heavy ground here most recently; solid. |
|||
3rd (4)  (4/1 +20%)Pearle D'or |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pearle D'or 4/1, Goes well with give underfoot, his latest success coming over C&D 13 months ago. Comes here following a creditable fourth at Leicester and whilst his finishing effort has come under question at times, he's undoubtedly capable of exploiting this mark if putting it all together again. C&D winner (off 3lb lower) on heavy ground last autumn and enters calculations. |
|||
4th (3)  (17/2 -6%)Executive Decision |
17/2(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Executive Decision 17/2, Dual 6f winner last summer. Yet to get her head infront this time around but she continued run of good form when third of 10 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy, 11/1) 10 days ago, no extra last ½f. This trip could just be on the limit of her stamina. Currently in a consistent vein of form; again has frame possibilities. |
|||
5th (2)  (13/2 -86%)United Approach |
13/2(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) United Approach 13/2, Dual 6f winner of soft/heavy earlier in his career and posted best effort yet when second in conditions' event at Ascot (7f) in September. Well held equipped with cheekpieces (discarded here) in handicap back at that venue 20 days ago and he appeals as the type to bounce back quickly. Well held in valuable handicap last time; has steadily progressive form otherwise. |
|||
6th (5)  (33/1 -450%)Cill Mocheallog |
33/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cill Mocheallog 33/1, Improved on debut for when taking 16-runner Gowran maiden (7f, heavy) in May. Similar form when third in Cork minor event (1m) in July (final start for P. Twomey) but switch to handicaps/return to heavy ground likely in his favour on debut for new yard. Registered his Irish win over 7f on heavy; interesting on debut for new stable. |
|||
7th (1)  (80/1 -264%)Mcmanaman |
80/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mcmanaman 80/1, Ended a losing run in 16-runner handicap at Meydan (7f) in February. May of needed first start for 6 months when last of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to firm) on debut for new yard in August and this step up in trip looks in his favour. Failed to beat a rival at Chester eight weeks ago on debut for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MERCIAN WARRIOR gained a first career success at Ascot earlier in the month and a 5lb rise might not be enough to stop the son of Saxon Warrior from making it back-to-back victories. Cill Mocheallog has to be of interest on his first start for Dean Ivory having achieved a fair level of form in Ireland for Paddy Twomey, while a return to 7f may benefit Kodi Lion.
KODI LION shaped as if still in good form before the combination of testing ground/step up to 1m possibly caught him out when fourth here 5 weeks ago. Remaining of interest back down at 7f, he earns the vote ahead of Ascot-scorer Mercian Warrior. United Approach is another fancied to have a part to play.
Ascot winner MERCIAN WARRIOR is open to further progress on slow ground and could well follow up. Pearle d'Or is second pick.

1st (3)  (9/2 +31%)Knebworth |
9/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Knebworth 9/2, Scored at Doncaster in March and has remained in good heart since, third of 9 in a higher grade of handicap than he normally contests on penultimate start before racing slightly too close to a strong pacer at Haydock a month ago. Just 1 lb above last winning mark. Has form figures of 145235 since wearing cheekpieces; shouldn't be far away. |
|||
2nd (8)  (25/1 0%)Capote's Dream |
25/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Capote's Dream 25/1, On a lengthy losing run and was well placed when mid-field at Kempton a fortnight ago. Visor back on but looks opposable from just out of the weights back up in class. Modest strike-rate in last three years but went close over C&D four starts ago. |
|||
5th (7)  (16/5 +36%)Land Of Magic |
16/5(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Land Of Magic 16/5, Bagged a third career success at Salisbury last month and nothing wrong with a brace of runner-up efforts since, going with plenty of zest before being worn down close home back at that venue 3 weeks ago. Major player up 2 lb. Career-best form since dropped back to 6f; runner-up on heavy the last twice. |
|||
6th (2)  (13/2 -8%)Thunder Blue |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Thunder Blue 13/2, Confirmed positive start for this yard when landing 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in August. Continued in good order since at up to 7f and no reason why he won't go well again. Last three attempts at 6f comprise an AW win and two placed efforts; in the mix. |
|||
7th (1)  (4/1 -78%)Aramram |
4/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aramram 4/1, No match for the thriving Alfa Kellenic in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f) but he beat the other 20 runners that day and was just about better than ever when making a successful AW debut at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago. 2 lb rise perfectly fair so a must for the shortlist. In-form 3yo whose solid second in the Ayr Silver Cup is flanked by turf/AW wins. |
|||
8th (4)  (10/1 +50%)Way To Dubai |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Way To Dubai 10/1, Yet to taste success for this yard and form has a patchy look to it. following a sound fifth-place finish at Chester with a heavy defeat in the mud at Haydock a month ago. Cheekpieces back on. Ex-German; 0-12 and inconsistent in Britain; not sure to give his running. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
THUNDER BLUE has shown a good level of form over this distance this season and his latest fifth over 7f at Doncaster can be upgraded because he raced keenly towards the rear off a steady pace. Stepping back to 6f off an unchanged mark, this might be the day to catch him. Aramram showed a likeable attitude when scoring gamely at Wolverhampton and he must enter calculations off a 2lb higher figure. Land Of Magic is respected most out of the remainder.
Backing SERGEANT PEP comes with slight risks attached given his issues at the stalls but he's talented on his day and a 3 lb rise for his career-best win at Leicester recently looks lenient. Land of Magic will be ridden totally differently and could be a tough nut to crack if allowed her own way, with Aramram completing the shortlist.
In-form 3yos LAND OF MAGIC, Aramram and Thunder Blue bring the strongest appeal, in that order of preference.

1st (1)  (9/2 -50%)Miller Spirit |
9/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Miller Spirit 9/2, Bagged his fourth win of 2024 with a career best in 8-runner handicap at Epsom (12f) 26 days ago. Up another 8 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. Won twice over Epsom's 1m4f (soft/heavy) in September; well on top last time; up 8lb. |
|||
2nd (4)  (8/1 +0%)Flash Bardot |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Flash Bardot 8/1, C&D winner who got back on track when third of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Goes well in the mud and holds very good claims. Used to go well in the mud; third at Newmarket (good to soft) last time was an upturn. |
|||
3rd (9)  (15/2 -67%)Balhambar |
15/2(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Balhambar 15/2, Bagged a pair of 2m handicap hurdles before an excellent second at Huntingdon. Off 6 months but he's a player back in this sphere off a reduced mark for a yard among the winners. Won on soft in his first two handicaps as hurdler; good 2nd later in April when last seen. |
|||
4th (6)  (150/1 -329%)Ruler Legend |
150/1(-329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ruler Legend 150/1, A fair winning hurdler in March but off for six months since a below-par ninth at Taunton. Needs to hit the ground running back in this sphere. Has a reduced mark for this return to Flat but there are more solid options. |
|||
5th (10)  (6/1 +63%)Calvert |
6/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Calvert 6/1, Without a win this season but running well until coming in last of 7 in handicap at Haydock (14f, heavy) 28 days ago. Sort to bounce back though. Front-running 2nd at Newmarket (1m6f, soft) penultimate start; tailed off on heavy latest. |
|||
6th (11)  (33/1 +18%)Graignes |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Graignes 33/1, It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2023 and he beat only one in handicap at Kempton (11f) 30 days ago. Others appeal more. 18lb lower than this time last year, as he's been out of form. |
|||
7th (3)  (18/1 -13%)Torcello |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Torcello 18/1, Course winner who posted a creditable third of 10 in handicap at York (16.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Back down in trip but this veteran is well in the mix. His wins have got more infrequent, but a renowned mud lover who may well be thereabouts. |
|||
8th (8)  (14/1 -100%)Thundering |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Thundering 14/1, Winless in 2024 but he comes here in good form, second of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 22 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Two wins from 24 starts; has found some form again but has more to prove on soft or heavy. |
|||
9th (2)  (18/1 -80%)Great Bedwyn |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Great Bedwyn 18/1, C&D winner in July who has continued in decent nick, eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 57 days ago. Possibilities. Perhaps latest outing can be excused but he is unraced on worse than good to soft. |
|||
|F| (7)  (3.75/1 +17%)Ithaca's Arrow |
3.75/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ithaca's Arrow 3.75/1, Scored at Chester in September and recorded a respectable third of 11 in handicap here (13.3f, soft) 34 days ago. Needs considering off the same mark. Has done well back on the Flat this August/September on soft/heavy; major each-way claims. |
|||
10th (5)  (25/1 -233%)Silent Glance |
25/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Silent Glance 25/1, Looked a good prospect in landing maidens at Kempton and Wolverhampton but she came in last of five on her handicap debut at Salisbury (1m4f) in June. Well worth another chance after a break. Looked a useful prospect on AW, but something was amiss on handicap/turf debut in June. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MILLER SPIRIT scored in the style of a gelding some way ahead of the handicapper when skipping clear of his rivals in testing ground at Epsom. Despite an 8lb hike, he gets the vote to go in again. Ithaca's Arrow was an admirable third in a warm Newbury handicap over an extended 1m5f last month and he merits respect in these calmer waters off an unchanged mark, while the unexposed Silent Glance is surely better than she showed when last of five on her handicap debut.
Plenty are in with a shout so it is worth siding with BALHAMBAR, who was firmly on the up over hurdles when last seen out in the spring and can now capitalise on a reduced mark back in this sphere for a yard among the winners. C&D scorer Flash Bardot goes very well under these likely soft conditions and heads the list of dangers, although Miller Spirit, Torcello and Silent Glance bring solid credentials to the table too.
The conspicuously in-form candidates are MILLER SPIRIT and Ithaca's Arrow, who both look ideally suited by 1m4f in the mud.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 7f winner Queen of Power. Plenty about him physically, but he was held back by inexperience on debut at Newmarket (1m, 18/1) 3 weeks ago, finishing last of the 7. Should improve.

Scopey sort who was marked up plenty at the breeze-ups and produced a promising first effort at Newmarket (7f, 15/2) 3 weeks ago, his early keenness telling late on. Will improve. Showed some promise with his fifth-place finish at Newmarket; open to improvement. |

7th (11)  (12/1 +14%)Thosewerethedays |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Thosewerethedays 12/1, Foaled March 16. €35,000 yearling, €110,000 2-y-o, Sea The Stars colt.

150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sol Argent 150/1, Well held in 1m Newmarket/Brighton contests in the mud. Needs sharp improvement; handicaps more suitable shortly. |
|||
10th (6)  (5/2 +62%)Majestic Leo |
5/2(+62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Majestic Leo 5/2, Foaled April 25. 170,000 gns yearling, Camelot colt.

Dam 2-y-o 1m winner. 1 of 2 interesting newcomers for yard with very strong juvenile team. 170,000gns yearling; by Camelot; helps to give Ralph Beckett an interesting hand. |
|||

|||
12th (10)  (300/1 -100%)Sydney Whistler |
300/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sydney Whistler 300/1, Little impact in Bath/Brighton contests this month. Comfortably held in both outings. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CENTIGRADE offered a lot of encouragement when only just pipped by a smart prospect on his debut at Sandown in August. Ralph Beckett's colt is entitled to improve for that experience and a first career victory looks very possible. His stablemate Majestic Leo is an intriguing newcomer on paper and it will be interesting to see how the son of Camelot compares in the betting. Fellow debutant Sudu, a half-brother to the decent Noble Patron, is another potential fly in the ointment.
CENTIGRADE made a very promising start at Sandown 8 weeks ago, beaten on the post, and could be hard to beat if coping with these different conditions. Ralph Beckett has enjoyed a tremendous year with his juveniles and introduces Majestic Leo and Thosewerethedays in a race the stable has won in the past. Sudu is another newcomer to note.
Ralph Beckett holds a strong-looking hand. CENTIGRADE is first choice, ahead of Majestic Leo.

(9)  (125/1 -279%)Saisissante |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Saisissante 125/1, Four-time Flat winner in France who landed a soft-ground juvenile hurdle for this yard last November. Not seen since finishing third in a juvenile listed hurdle here the following month and got to be a chance she'll be using this as a prep for a return to hurdles. Hurdles winner for current yard; absent since last December; market helpful. |
|||
1st (4)  (7/1 +30%)Ciara Pearl |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ciara Pearl 7/1, Four wins from 10 runs this year, the latest win at Sandown (1¼m) in July. Her run of good form came to a halt at Newmarket last month but she's not the type to stay down for long. Record is 5-14; perhaps feeling the effects of a busy spell last time; may rebound. |
|||
2nd (8)  (13/2 +54%)Big Bear Hug |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Big Bear Hug 13/2, Latest win at Epsom (1¼m) in July. Creditable second on soft there (1½m) last month but needs to shrug off a below-par run at Newmarket since. Has never defied a mark this high but is proven in the mud. |
|||
3rd (7)  (10/3 +49%)Lady La Fay |
10/3(+49%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lady La Fay 10/3, Fairly useful form, getting off the mark at the fifth time of asking when easily making all in a 1½m Ripon novice on good to soft 27 days ago. Her opening handicap mark demands more but she is a relatively unexposed 3-y-o from a top stable. Registered an 8l success in Ripon novice event last month and may show further progress. |
|||
4th (11)  (20/1 -43%)Dramatic Effect |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Dramatic Effect 20/1, Winner at Goodwood (1m) in June. Hooded for 1st time, good third of 8 in handicap (22/1) at this course (1m, soft) 34 days ago, running on. Up in trip. Ran well over 1m here last month (wore hood); new trip presents a question mark. |
|||
5th (10)  (18/1 -80%)Hello Miss Lady |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hello Miss Lady 18/1, Came good in a 1m Lingfield novice last month. Brings an unexposed profile to this handicap debut but these ground conditions are an unknown. Successful in weak AW event last month; this is harder but she's still unexposed. |
|||
6th (2)  (12/1 -100%)Power Of Destiny |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Power Of Destiny 12/1, Going the right way until a disappointing run at the York Ebor meeting. Showed promise in the mud on debut and no surprise to see this lightly-raced filly bounce straight back. Something seemed amiss last time; steadily progressive otherwise; not written off. |
|||
7th (3)  (11/1 -10%)Shemozzle |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shemozzle 11/1, Got back on the up when landing 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) in August but has found life tougher in deeper races twice since. Proven in the mud. Has one stand-out performance since handicapping; fairly useful but isn't solid. |
|||
8th (5)  (15/2 -15%)Elladonna |
15/2(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Elladonna 15/2, Pair of 1¼m handicap wins on good ground over this summer. Not seen to best effect (met trouble) when sixth of 10 at Haydock last month but her ability to cope with deep ground has to be taken on trust. Hood refitted. Beaten favourite last time; interesting with hood reapplied, being 2-2 in this headgear. |
|||
9th (1)  (10/3 -11%)Wintercrack |
10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wintercrack 10/3, Has two wins and a second to show for 3 outings on heavy this year, scoring easily back from a break at Nottingham (1¼m). Has conditions to suit again and a 7 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. Made all at Nottingham this month, taking form figures in heavy-ground handicaps to 121. |
|||
10th (6)  (17/2 +15%)Expert Witness |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Expert Witness 17/2, Won twice over 1¼mr this summer and showed she's still in form when third of 11 at Salisbury (1¼m, good to soft) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Acts on soft. Record of 2221213 in 1m2f handicaps this term, clear third on heavy going last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LADY LA FAY was most taking when making all in a novice event at Ripon and she could prove tough to catch now entering handicaps. A mark of 84 looks workable given the manner of that victory and she edges the vote over fellow three-year-old Power Of Destiny, who is better than she showed in a competitive heritage handicap at York's Ebor Festival and shouldn't be underestimated on the back of a 63-day break. Elladonna and Wintercrack have the form to feature as well.
WINTERCRACK revels in this sort of ground and can defy the handicapper. Power of Destiny had a progressive profile until her York no show and can bounce straight back and provide the chief threat ahead of fellow 3-y-o Lady La Fay.
Handicap debutante LADY LA FAY is taken to build on her Ripon success and follow up. Wintercrack is second choice.

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.
