1st (9) (10/1 -82%) Glenister |
10/1(-82%) | (9) Glenister 10/1, 3 wins from 4 runs this year, latest at Brighton. Proved disappointing bidding for his fourth win in June when second of 3 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, firm, 1/4) 75 days ago, flattered by proximity. Can get back on track after a break. Off since June; peak turf form (penultimate start) makes this look an attractive mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (7.5/1 +12%) Chase The Dollar |
7.5/1(+12%) | (10) Chase The Dollar 7.5/1, Ran much better than at Galway when third of 6 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm, 14/1) 18 days ago. Top claimer takes a handy 3 lb off and he's not without each-way hope. 413 days off before this term; signs of return to form behind Isle Of Sark on latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (4.5/1 +47%) Imaginary World |
4.5/1(+47%) | (8) Imaginary World 4.5/1, Improved a chunk when making a winning return/handicap debut at Chelmsford (1¼m) in March prior to a good second at Beverley (12.1f) in June. Didn't convince with his stamina upped to 14f at Haydock latest and back in trip now. Forgiven his failure in a hot race last time but needs to resume improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (20/1 +9%) Lucky's Dream |
20/1(+9%) | (3) Lucky's Dream 20/1, Missed all of 2022 but all ability seemingly remains, not seen to best effect back off his much higher all-weather mark when 2¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Wynter Wildes at this C&D 33 days ago. Mark eases 3 lb and not without place claims. 7-17 on AW; absent for 627 days before this season; needs to raise his game somewhat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (4.5/1 +63%) Muzaffar |
4.5/1(+63%) | (11) Muzaffar 4.5/1, Winner at Southwell in February. Ran poorly back down in trip when eighth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good, 22/1) 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip and with the headgear left off, he's worth chancing from this much-reduced mark returned to the all-weather. Fall in the weights (after turf runs) makes him look well handicapped on this return to AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (10/1 -43%) Isle Of Sark |
10/1(-43%) | (5) Isle Of Sark 10/1, Blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 6 in handicap (6/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, having run of race. Makes tapeta debut. Every chance if back to best. Front-running second of six at Leicester when first equipped with blinkers on latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (12/1 +0%) Natchez Trace |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Natchez Trace 12/1, Latest win at Southwell in June. 11/1, failed to last home when last of 7 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Others more persuasive. His only AW run this year was a win (Southwell 1m4f) and he's had excuses recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (12/1 -33%) True Courage |
12/1(-33%) | (4) True Courage 12/1, C&D winner. Ran even worse than on his return when tailed-off last of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Yarmouth (14.1f, good) 30 days ago. Back on all-weather but still tough to support. Tailed off on latest start; two wins last September included a C&D Racing League race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (7/1 -27%) Wynter Wildes |
7/1(-27%) | (6) Wynter Wildes 7/1, Supplemented June's Haydock success with a career-best victory in 7-runner handicap (14/1) over C&D last month. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) since and should continue to give a good account. 2-4 at Newcastle, the wins in this race last year and by a nose over C&D in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (7/1 -27%) Lizzie Jean |
7/1(-27%) | (1) Lizzie Jean 7/1, Did well on AW last year, gaining second career victory at Southwell (11.1f) in July and has finished runner-up on last 2 starts on turf, latest at York (11.8f, good) last month. Fancied to be bang there. Dual 1m3f AW winner elsewhere last summer; 1m4f second on latest two outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (80/1 -400%) Red Royalist |
80/1(-400%) | (12) Red Royalist 80/1, Latest win at Chester in July. 9/2, below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 15 days ago. Is now just 1 lb above his last winning mark so can't be discounted. Chester win in July came off just 1lb lower but backward steps on last two outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (9/1 -20%) Tafsir |
9/1(-20%) | (13) Tafsir 9/1, 3 wins from last 4 starts, latest in 13-runner handicap (10/3) at Musselburgh (14f, good) 20 days ago, quickening to lead final 100 yds and soon clear. Upped significantly in grade but impossible to dismiss in her current mood. 1m4f, 1m5f and 1m6f wins on last three turf starts; 0-5 here but 2nd on penultimate outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (66/1 -136%) Nuits St Georges |
66/1(-136%) | (2) Nuits St Georges 66/1, 40/1, shaped as if needing the run on first outing since leaving Henry De Bromhead and rejoining former yard after 10 months off when last of 7 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 8 weeks ago. This should reveal plenty. Useful in 2021 but has plenty to prove judged on what he's done since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
An open event could go the way of WYNTER WILDES, who landed this prize 12 months ago from 2lb lower. Charlie Fellowes' filly has yet to run a poor race at this venue and should be aided by a likely strong pace. Tafsir has been very progressive this season and must not be underestimated from the foot of the handicap. Glenister, who was turned over in a tactical affair when on a four-timer at Bath, is another to consider.
An ultra-competitive opener to week 4 of the Racing League and at forecast longer odds, MUZAFFAR gets the verdict to double his tally back up in trip having been given a chance by the handicapper. The main threat may emerge from Lizzie Jean, who has hit the crossbar on her last couple of starts and may have to settle for silver once again. The in-form Tafsir and recent C&D winner Wynter Wildes can do battle for third spot.
There is more to prove at this level but TAFSIR is on a roll and keeps looking capable of better, including over C&D two starts back.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (8) (14/1 -17%) Buttercross Flyer |
14/1(-17%) | (8) Buttercross Flyer 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, sixth of 7 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good) 12 days ago, leading until around 2f out. Makes all-weather debut and likely to find a few too strong. Two 2nds at Catterick this summer; no progress in Class 3 nursery latest; needs better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4.5/1 -13%) Dan Dee Prince |
4.5/1(-13%) | (7) Dan Dee Prince 4.5/1, Showed much improved form to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking in 10-runner nursery (25/1) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago, well positioned. Makes all-weather debut and provided he takes to the surface, he's fancied to be bang there under a penalty. Stayed on well to win at Leicester last week; unexposed at 7f; solid contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/1 -40%) Ebt's Guard |
7/1(-40%) | (2) Ebt's Guard 7/1, 9/1, showed improved form after 8 weeks off when second of 11 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Every chance if building on that now handicapping. Appeared to show improvement when 2nd at Kempton 3 weeks ago; that form not yet franked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (2/1 +56%) I'm Puzzled |
2/1(+56%) | (4) I'm Puzzled 2/1, Ran to just a similar level as previously when fourth of 8 in minor event at Epsom (7f, good to soft, 9/2) 4 weeks ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes handicap debut and should have more to offer. Looks a likely improver now handicapping at a realistic level; one to take seriously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (8/1 -60%) Tactical Control |
8/1(-60%) | (5) Tactical Control 8/1, 80/1, showed more than previously upped in trip when fourth of 8 in minor event at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut and he could well have more to offer. Improved for the step up to 7f last time; more to come from him now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (4/1 -14%) Classy Clarets |
4/1(-14%) | (6) Classy Clarets 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 8 in nursery at this C&D (4/1) 16 days ago, picked off only late on by one from the rear. Remains of plenty of interest. Improved when second over C&D 16 days ago; needs to find more but that's quite possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (33/1 -65%) Sarakana |
33/1(-65%) | (3) Sarakana 33/1, Made a winning debut at Haydock in May but has finished well held in the face of stiff tasks on both subsequent starts, latest on handicap debut at Goodwood (7f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Others more persuasive. Won debut before struggling twice since (Group 3 and then bad ground); risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (12/1 -71%) Beechwood Star |
12/1(-71%) | (1) Beechwood Star 12/1, Failed to meet expectations tackling all-weather for the first time when close third of 9 in minor event (5/6) at this course (6f) 4 weeks ago, headed near line. Cheekpieces applied for his handicap debut. Placed in three 6f novices, including here; needs more for 7f and/or cheekpieces. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Beechwood Star would be a deserved winner having been narrowly denied on his last two starts. Upped in trip and with cheekpieces applied ahead of this handicap bow, he is unlikely to be far away, but marginal preference is for I'M PUZZLED. The son of Sea The Moon showed a fair level of ability without troubling the judge across his qualifying runs and an opening mark of 75 looks workable. Ebt's Guard is another to consider.
DAN DEE PRINCE showed much improved form to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking at Leicester last week and provided he takes to a synthetic surface, Tom Dascombe's gelding can follow up under a penalty. Classy Clarets was picked off only late on by one from the rear over C&D recently, so he's fancied to give the selection most to think about, ahead of I'm Puzzled, who remains with potential now sent down the nursery route.
The switch to nurseries can see I'M PUZZLED step forward from his previous efforts and gain a breakthrough success.

1st (4) (7.5/1 +6%) Billy Mill |
7.5/1(+6%) | (4) Billy Mill 7.5/1, Exploits have proved mixed on AW/turf in recent months but eased in weights and firmly back on track when just touched off at Kempton (1m) 15 days ago. Last success came under today's rider and not out of things if arriving in same groove. C&D winner in Racing League last year off 4lb higher; good 2nd latest; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (8/1 +20%) Mobashr |
8/1(+20%) | (1) Mobashr 8/1, Back on track equipped with a refitted hood, back to winning ways at Doncaster (7f) in July and made frame on 3 of his 4 starts since. Unsuited by the way the race developed when tenth at Windsor (8.1f) 2 weeks ago and better expected here. Not at his best in 1m Racing League h'cap two weeks ago; return to AW fine; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (25/1 -194%) Le Reveur |
25/1(-194%) | (10) Le Reveur 25/1, Quirky but very capable performer on his day and proved far too good for his rivals when winning 12-runner Newmarket handicap (1m) earlier this month, hanging badly left but ultimately scoring with ease. 8 lb higher mark demands more in this deeper affair, though. Easy win at Newmarket (1m) 13 days ago but 8lb higher mark might find him out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (4.5/1 +10%) Yaaser |
4.5/1(+10%) | (7) Yaaser 4.5/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in July. 10/3, good second of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago, going well when not clear run from 3f out and finishing with running left. Shortlist material. Comes here in form and he shaped well in one run here last year; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (3.5/1 +56%) Dionysian |
3.5/1(+56%) | (5) Dionysian 3.5/1, Won a pair of 1m novice events at 2 yrs and firmly back on track returned to AW (also gelded) when fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 2 weeks ago, carrying head a little high but keeping on. May tighten up for that run and he remains pretty low mileage. Shaped nicely back on AW last time and a 1lb drop seems kind; still has potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (25/1 -108%) Mahanakhon |
25/1(-108%) | (2) Mahanakhon 25/1, Opened account in novice company at Wetherby (7f) in April and similar form when close-up third in handicap at Pontefract (1m) on penultimate start in July. Not clear run under 2f out and unable to figure when seventh of 9 in handicap at Leicester since and he's unexposed on AW. 7f novice winner in April; fair runs in 1m h'caps since; encouragement for AW on breeding. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (5.5/1 +15%) Half Nutz |
5.5/1(+15%) | (6) Half Nutz 5.5/1, Winless for present yard but gone close to bucking that trend of late, again finding only one too good when just failing to get up at Leopardstown (7f) 7 days ago. Worth a second look with Billy Loughnane taking off a handy 3 lb. Banging at the door in Ireland and he's of some interest at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (7/1 +13%) Chola Empire |
7/1(+13%) | (3) Chola Empire 7/1, Doubled career tally at Southwell (7f) back in January and consistency hard to knock since, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 7 days ago. Remains 3 lb above last winning mark, however. Conditions should suit and he ran well at Chelmsford last week; each-way contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 -150%) Vindobala |
40/1(-150%) | (9) Vindobala 40/1, 3-time C&D winner but not for the first time she blotted her copybook by refusing to race at Musselburgh (7f) 37 days ago. Clearly comes with risks attached. Conditions ideal but she refused to race in 2 of last 7 appearances; reservations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (18/1 -157%) Craven |
18/1(-157%) | (8) Craven 18/1, Off the mark in refitted visor at Leicester (7f) in July and filled runners-up spot on 2 of his 3 starts since, encouragingly travelling with more fluency when just touched off at Thirsk (7f) a couple of weeks back. Not out of things if proving as effective on AW. Improving 3yo who bumped into one at Thirsk last time; solid claims switched to AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (11/1 -22%) Akmaam |
11/1(-22%) | (12) Akmaam 11/1, Opened account for this yard at Dundalk (1m) and remained in good heart since, creditable fourth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (1m) 11 days ago. Not out of things for all this drop back to 7f may not suit ideally. 1m AW win in March; good 4th at Curragh latest; usually apprentice ridden but not today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (12/1 -20%) Ray Vonn |
12/1(-20%) | (13) Ray Vonn 12/1, After 4 months off (had wind op), produced his best effort when third of 12 on handicap debut at Newmarket (6f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago. More on his plate back up in trip having been raised 2 lb since, though. Ran well dropped to 6f last time (after a wind op); 7f efforts need bettering though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (50/1 -100%) Unsung Hero |
50/1(-100%) | (11) Unsung Hero 50/1, Back-to-back winner over this trip at Kempton last summer but well held final 2 starts of 2022 and he again ran well below his best when last of 11 back from 6 months off at Newbury (7f) back in June. Eased 3 lb since and this should reveal more. Two front-running wins at Kempton last September; struggled since; gelded since latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BILLY MILL bounced back to form with a fast-finishing second at Kempton, and a similar effort might be enough to see Rod Millman's charge gain compensation for that agonising defeat. Yaaser is consistent and should not be far away, while similar comments apply to Craven, who is of definite interest on this all-weather debut. Others to note include Le Reveur and Dionysian.
A winner at Musselburgh in July, YAASER has shaped as if still in top form subsequently, having little go right when runner-up over this trip at Doncaster 12 days ago (nicely on top of remainder). He can make amends back on AW, with Half Nutz and Mobashr heading up the dangers. Dionysian is one of the 3-y-os to note.
A strong handicap in which CRAVEN is marginally preferred to Half Nutzp, Dionysian and Akmaam.

1st (13) (8/1 -33%) Nordic Passage |
8/1(-33%) | (13) Nordic Passage 8/1, Twenty-six runs since last win in 2020. Good second of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 5/1) 11 days ago. Will be a big threat off the same mark if taking to this surface (has won twice on polytrack but untried on tapeta). Beaten a nose in his last two starts (6f); effective on AW; ahead of his mark; good chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (9/1 -38%) Razzam |
9/1(-38%) | (11) Razzam 9/1, 13/8, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) on debut for new yard 22 days ago. This is a tougher assignment. Form of winning stable debut is nothing special; more on his plate up 4lb in a better race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/1 +18%) Expert Agent |
7/1(+18%) | (1) Expert Agent 7/1, Three wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Lingfield in April. Good third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 14 days ago, slowly away. Place possibilities off the same mark. Three-time AW winner; good 3rd on turf latest; should be involved once again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (12/1 +45%) Streak Lightning |
12/1(+45%) | (9) Streak Lightning 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 20/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 33 days ago, never nearer. Back down in trip and likely to find a few too good. On last winning mark, conditions will suit and he looks a lively outsider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (40/1 -233%) Tyger Bay |
40/1(-233%) | (5) Tyger Bay 40/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good, 13/2) 57 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes. Return to AW is in his favour but a few others have more compelling claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (3.5/1 +46%) Hydration |
3.5/1(+46%) | (3) Hydration 3.5/1, Two wins from 4 runs this year. 6/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 26 days ago by ¾ length from Minnesota Lad. Makes tapeta debut. Won 2 of his last 3 and looked willing at Doncaster last time; capable of another bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (8/1 +33%) Snash |
8/1(+33%) | (10) Snash 8/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, respectable fifth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others preferred. Signs of a revival at Ripon last time and he's 2-2 on AW; interesting off his lowly mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (5/1 +38%) Conquistador |
5/1(+38%) | (2) Conquistador 5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. 5/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and couldn't rule out. Return to AW should be beneficial and a tongue-tie could help too; not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (22/1 -120%) Treacherous |
22/1(-120%) | (7) Treacherous 22/1, C&D winner. 11/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Each-way chance. Forced very wide when fifth at Windsor two weeks ago; should give it another good go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (12/1 -33%) Minnesota Lad |
12/1(-33%) | (12) Minnesota Lad 12/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap at Haydock (6f, heavy, 6/4) 25 days ago, very slowly away. Safely held sole previous AW start and others make more appeal. Chased home Hydration before lesser effort one day later; below best in one AW run (C&D). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (11/1 -69%) Champagne Sarah |
11/1(-69%) | (4) Champagne Sarah 11/1, Course winner. Latest win at Yarmouth in June. 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago, conceding first run. Big player. Course winner at two; comes here on the up and could have more to give in cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (14/1 -17%) Ataser |
14/1(-17%) | (8) Ataser 14/1, 7/1, respectable third of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago. A career-best will be needed if he's to make a winning AW debut in this competitive contest. Running creditably of late but he'll need a strong pace to win back at 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (33/1 -230%) Pockley |
33/1(-230%) | (6) Pockley 33/1, Five-time course winner, the latest in March. Sixth of 8 in handicap (7/1) back here (7.1f) when last seen in April, unable to sustain effort. Drop back in trip should help but looks vulnerable all the same. Five-time course winner; on a good mark but he has a five-month absence to overcome. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
NORDIC PASSAGE has been very unlucky to be beaten just a nose on each of his last two outings, with the latest display coming in a competitive sprint at the Curragh. Johnny Levins' eight-year-old can gain compensation on this occasion. Hydration is two out of three since switching to handicaps and he did it nicely at Doncaster last time, so is a live threat off 4lb higher. Ataser takes a step back in trip and is also worth a second look.
Several to consider in this competitive handicap, headed by CHAMPAGNE SARAH. She has proved consistent this season and was unlucky not to notch a third success of the campaign when going close at Newmarket where she was denied a clear run at a crucial stage. Irish raider Nordic Passage's turn is surely near and is a much-respected main danger ahead of the unexposed Hydration. Each-way cases can be made for Expert Agent and Treacherous.
Yorkshire hold a strong hand, with SNASH taken to maintain an unbeaten AW record at the main expense of Streak Lightning.

1st (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Storm Catcher |
4.5/1(+36%) | (2) Storm Catcher 4.5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Good third of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Ascot (8f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Ought to be in the shake-up again. Has done well over 1m2f on AW this season, notably at Chelmsford (Polytrack). |

2nd (1) (7.5/1 +38%) Onesmoothoperator |
7.5/1(+38%) | (1) Onesmoothoperator 7.5/1, C&D winner. 9/1, fair seventh of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Down in trip. Can give a good account. On a losing run; all his races from August 2021 onwards have been over 1m4f-2m1f. |

10/1(-67%) | (11) Moonspirit 10/1, Thrice-raced winner. Winner at Bath in July before encouraging fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 9/2) 16 days ago. Should have more to offer. Not ruled out. AW/handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) when dropping back to last before running on well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5.5/1 +31%) Painters Palette |
5.5/1(+31%) | (4) Painters Palette 5.5/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year, posting a career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 6/1) 19 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so he can go well again despite a 5 lb rise. Two Wolverhampton AW wins in March/April (8.6f/9.4f); better over 1m on turf since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 -40%) Carolus Magnus |
14/1(-40%) | (3) Carolus Magnus 14/1, Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding. Only twice raced for current yard and he caught the eye when ninth of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 16 days ago, keeping on when suffering a poor run inside last 1f. Makes tapeta debut. Weighted to go close. Shaped well when trying to come from last at Chelmsford (1m2f, second AW run) 16 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (4.5/1 +55%) Roaring Gallagher |
4.5/1(+55%) | (5) Roaring Gallagher 4.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 22/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with more needed at these weights. Improved form in sixth of 14 on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m2f) and met interference. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (12/1 -20%) Bint Al Daar |
12/1(-20%) | (12) Bint Al Daar 12/1, Winner at Newmarket in August. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Sandown (10f, good) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Shortlisted. Got up late on at Newmarket (1m) and rallied strongly when third of nine at Sandown (1m2f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (66/1 -313%) Blue Yonder |
66/1(-313%) | (13) Blue Yonder 66/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Last of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 8/1) 54 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Gelded after poor latest start; needs to resume improvement but is 2lb out of the handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (28/1 -229%) New Dayrell |
28/1(-229%) | (10) New Dayrell 28/1, 7/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 21 days ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Much respected on his tapeta debut. Won comfortably in amateurs' race at Sandown (1m2f) when allowed plenty of rope up front. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (5.5/1 +8%) Miami Thunder |
5.5/1(+8%) | (8) Miami Thunder 5.5/1, Course winner in June. 11/5, good second of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 33 days ago, just failing. Up in trip. Well in the mix once more. Made all in June and short-headed in July on his two runs for yard, both over 1m here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (16/1 -100%) Bashful |
16/1(-100%) | (9) Bashful 16/1, 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 11/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, soft) 29 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. This C&D winner needs considering. Second leg of his hat-trick came over C&D; close 3rd over 1m at Leicester on latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (14/1 -17%) Wind Your Neck In |
14/1(-17%) | (6) Wind Your Neck In 14/1, 6/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, heavy) 25 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Looks competitive on form. Generally below form in the last two seasons but runner-up twice this term; makes AW debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (33/1 -230%) Cap Francais |
33/1(-230%) | (7) Cap Francais 33/1, 22/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Claims. 2nd at Newmarket (1m2f) on latest start, first time he's been competitive since last May. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
NEW DAYRELL struck in taking fashion when making all at Sandown and he appeared to have plenty left in the tank so could be well up to defying his 6lb higher rating. The main danger might be Storm Catcher, who made the frame in a class 2 event at Ascot last month and should go well off the same mark now back up in trip. Miami Thunder was just a short head away from completing a 1m brace here after arriving from Ireland and is another to consider.
Lots with chances so at the likely odds it is worth siding with CAROLUS MAGNUS to build on his eye-catching Chelmsford effort and capitalise on a good mark for his new handler. Painters Palette is feared most on the back of his emphatic Redcar success, with the unexposed Moonspirit and course winner Miami Thunder also firmly in the picture.
In a competitive race, STORM CATCHER receives the vote ahead of Moonspirit, Roaring Gallagher and Bint Al Daar.

1st (3) (5/1 +44%) Helm Rock |
5/1(+44%) | (3) Helm Rock 5/1, 7/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Well handicapped but a bounce back is needed. Back to his last winning mark and the form of his yard catches the eye; could revive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (3/1 +60%) Tosen Wish |
3/1(+60%) | (7) Tosen Wish 3/1, Started his career promisingly but has struggled more recently. 10/1, fifteenth of 18 in handicap at Galway (8.6f, soft) 30 days ago, merely closing up late. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on first time. Bounce back needed. Handicapper on top for this yard; cheekpieces and return to AW could revive his fortunes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/1 -122%) Parlando |
10/1(-122%) | (4) Parlando 10/1, Very lightly-raced winner. 12/1, first run since leaving Charlie Appleby when promising third of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Open to improvement and on the shortlist here. Good stable debut after big absence but he did hang badly right from 1f out; unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (18/1 -29%) Mostawaa |
18/1(-29%) | (5) Mostawaa 18/1, C&D winner. Completed a turf hat-trick in May/June but found life tougher when only seventh of 12 in Race 21 of this series at Windsor a fortnight ago. Came up shy over 1m2f last time but he'd been thriving beforehand; easy lead unlikely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (16/1 -113%) Arthur's Realm |
16/1(-113%) | (2) Arthur's Realm 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 47 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up. Back to form in cheekpieces the last twice; has the ability to feature once again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (7/1 -40%) Hartswood |
7/1(-40%) | (11) Hartswood 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in May. 6/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (1m, good) 21 days ago. Can make presence felt. Enjoying a good season and this C&D winner should give it another good go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (5/1 +55%) Master Richard |
5/1(+55%) | (1) Master Richard 5/1, Generally likeable and progressive (scored over 7f here in May) and he was simply too keen in first-time cheekpieces, which are quickly discarded, at York last week. Not the type to stay down for long. Well suited by AW but he needs to bounce back from last week's low-key York run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (18/1 -100%) Wyvern |
18/1(-100%) | (10) Wyvern 18/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap (9/4) at Chelmsford (7f) 7 days ago but did go close at the same venue prior to that. Can blow hot and cold but the return of the accessories should be in his favour. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (50/1 -257%) Alexander James |
50/1(-257%) | (8) Alexander James 50/1, Capitalised on drop in grade when landing a Beverley seller (7.5f) on final start for Mick Appleby in July. Fair start for this yard when close sixth at Yarmouth (1m) last month and being caught wide provides an excuse for his below-par run since. Won a seller in July but beaten in lesser handicaps in two runs for current stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (10/1 +9%) Elzaam Blue |
10/1(+9%) | (6) Elzaam Blue 10/1, Won at Dundalk in February and followed up on 1m Doncaster stable debut 5 months later. Well beaten on the first night of this series at Yarmouth since, though. Flopped at Yarmouth last month but ready winner beforehand and return to AW should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (10/1 +44%) Star Zinc |
10/1(+44%) | (12) Star Zinc 10/1, Winner on AW at Southwell in June. Cheekpieces on first time, sixth of 7 in handicap (22/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 44 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero. One Tapeta run this year resulted in an easy win; still carries risk on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (33/1 -230%) Shine On Brendan |
33/1(-230%) | (13) Shine On Brendan 33/1, Latest win at Hamilton in August. 7/1, creditable third of 8 back there (9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. In good form on turf and although he's 0-14 on AW, he's fully effective on Tapeta. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (25/1 -178%) Loingseoir |
25/1(-178%) | (9) Loingseoir 25/1, Good second of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft, 7/1) 9 days ago, clear of rest. Major player. Runner-up the last twice and should make another bold bid in his current form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The unexposed PARLANDO will have given connections plenty of encouragement when third on his seasonal/stable debut at Newmarket earlier in the month and he could be hard to stop with the benefit of that outing behind him. Loingseoir has been knocking hard on the door of late and is likely to go well once again, while Shine On Brendan and Arthur's Realm are others who make the shortlist.
LOINGSEOIR chased home an improving 3-y-o in race 14 of this series at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. He followed that with a fine second at Roscommon last Tuesday and can deservedly get his head back in front now. Richard Fahey and Oisin Orr have tasted plenty of Racing League success together in August and Hartswood should go well for that in-form pairing. The low-mileage Parlando and Ed Dunlop's Arthur's Realm also make the shortlist.
A trappy race in which HARTSWOOD should get a good pace to aim at and may come out on top. Helm Rock heads the long list of dangers.

1st (9) (4.5/1 +0%) Alligator Alley |
4.5/1(+0%) | (9) Alligator Alley 4.5/1, Good second of 20 in handicap (9/1) at York (5.4f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Three Tapeta wins over the winter; fine 2nd at York last week & now races off a lower mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6.5/1 +54%) Badri |
6.5/1(+54%) | (5) Badri 6.5/1, C&D winner. Eight wins from 31 Flat runs. 4 wins from 10 runs this year. Twenty third of 27 in handicap (28/1) at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 26 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ruth Carr. Not completely dismissed. Made fine progress for Ruth Carr but he'll need another career best on his stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (12/1 +25%) Arecibo |
12/1(+25%) | (8) Arecibo 12/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 11 days ago. Not discounted. Hard to win with but this year's AW best gives him claims off a reduced handicap mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (8/1 -23%) Silky Wilkie |
8/1(-23%) | (1) Silky Wilkie 8/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in April. 16/1, 7½ lengths ninth of 11 to Highfield Princess in King George Stakes at Goodwood (5f, soft) 27 days ago. Worthy of respect in more realistic scenario. Developed into smart sprinter this year; 5f on Tapeta fine; chance if back to Epsom best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (14/1 -17%) Swayze |
14/1(-17%) | (11) Swayze 14/1, Course winner. Latest win at Haydock in May. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 8/1) 11 days ago. Has work to do. Impressive over this trip at Haydock in May but costly to follow since; tough task here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (3.33/1 +49%) Rohaan |
3.33/1(+49%) | (2) Rohaan 3.33/1, Course winner. 7½ lengths seventh of 10 to King Gold in Prix Maurice de Gheest (20/1) at Deauville (6.5f, soft) 25 days ago. Back down in trip. Every chance if back to best in this handicap. High-class, come-from-behind sprinter; patchy in 2023 but goes well on AW; on reduced mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (5.5/1 +21%) Batal Dubai |
5.5/1(+21%) | (10) Batal Dubai 5.5/1, Last of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Ascot (6f, good) 19 days ago. Unbeaten in 2 visits here, so can't be written off. 2-2 on AW, both over 6f here (looked good in July); flopped latest & untried at 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (11/1 -47%) Fine Wine |
11/1(-47%) | (4) Fine Wine 11/1, C&D winner. 12/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 62 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Likeable sort who can't be ruled out. Speedy front-runner, well suited by C&D; won't be an easy horse to pass. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (28/1 -180%) Antiphon |
28/1(-180%) | (13) Antiphon 28/1, 10/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Solid claims. In good form over 6f but he'll need a clear personal best to win in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (18/1 -29%) Acklam Express |
18/1(-29%) | (7) Acklam Express 18/1, Unreliable sort. Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. No win since 2020 but he's dropping down the weights; not seeing out his races this summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (25/1 -213%) Dakota Gold |
25/1(-213%) | (3) Dakota Gold 25/1, Fifteen wins from 57 Flat runs. Respectable seventh of 21 in handicap (12/1) at York (6f, firm). Off 106 days. Dropped 2 lb since last run, so capable of featuring after a short break. Classy veteran who shaped well in two runs in the spring; has C&D form; not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (33/1 -267%) Be Proud |
33/1(-267%) | (12) Be Proud 33/1, 5-time C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. 7/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago, finishing with running left. Can get involved if the race is run to suit. Conditions to suit and comes here in good form; not much wiggle room off this mark though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (25/1 -56%) Dusky Lord |
25/1(-56%) | (6) Dusky Lord 25/1, C&D winner. 50/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Still finding his feet for this stable, so others make more appeal. Impressed in 2022 Ayr Silver Cup; latest start was a step forward from his stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The return to handicap company gives Silky Wilkie a big chance after struggling in the Group 2 King George Stakes won by Highfield Princess at Glorious Goodwood, although slight preference is for ALLIGATOR ALLEY. David O'Meara's gelding was only beaten a neck by a classy sprinter at York last week and he can race off a 1lb lower mark here. Dakota Gold should not be underestimated, nor should Arecibo and Rohaan.
ROHAAN is the class act in this field and, while his win at this track came from a much lower mark earlier in his career, it was a quite remarkable performance, so he's worth chancing. Alligator Alley arrives on the back of an excellent effort in a hot race at York and he's of obvious interest along with Batal Dubai, who defends an unbeaten course record.
Fine Wine won't be easy to peg back but ALLIGATOR ALLEY (nap) may well be able to do so now that he's returned to Tapeta.

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.
