---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (8) (6/1 +25%) Toscan Genius |
6/1(+25%) | (8) Toscan Genius 6/1, Ran one of his better races when sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 25/1) 11 days ago. Possibilities with a repeat. Unplaced all 8 starts but not beaten far in a stronger race at Southwell latest; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3.33/1 +26%) Lord Torranaga |
3.33/1(+26%) | (2) Lord Torranaga 3.33/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022 but again ran well when second of 10 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, good) 9 days ago. Ought to remain competitive. String of good efforts over further this summer; should give it another good go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3.5/1 +13%) Trailblazer |
3.5/1(+13%) | (5) Trailblazer 3.5/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs but returned to form from a rapidly falling mark when second of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Needs considering. Effective here and comes here on the back of a good run on turf; chance if on a going day. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 +27%) Crystal Guard |
4/1(+27%) | (4) Crystal Guard 4/1, C&D winner who took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm, 18/1) 22 days ago. Remains to be seen if he's able to build on that. C&D winner off 2lb higher in January; eyecatcher at Ayr latest; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (20/1 +29%) Thomas Cranmer |
20/1(+29%) | (10) Thomas Cranmer 20/1, Thirty one runs since last win in 2018. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good, 33/1) 11 days ago, suited by way race developed. Up in trip. No win since 2018; not beaten far 11 days ago but others still much more appealing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (16/1 +20%) Ideal Dream |
16/1(+20%) | (3) Ideal Dream 16/1, C&D winner in April and returned to a similar level when sixth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (14.1f) in June. Not ruled out back from a break. 50-1 win over C&D in April was followed by two lesser runs; career best required today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (100/1 -203%) Strong Team |
100/1(-203%) | (9) Strong Team 100/1, 40/1, last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good) 75 days ago. Poor on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Others preferred. Conditions won't bother him but out of sorts over hurdles this summer; others are stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (3.5/1 -75%) Prince Achille |
3.5/1(-75%) | (1) Prince Achille 3.5/1, Winner at Carlisle in May and held his form well since, excellent second of 15 in 12f handicap (3/1) at Thirsk (good to soft) 21 days ago. Blinkers back on. Shortlist material. Three placed efforts since his Carlisle win in May; up in weights but still considered. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PRINCE ACHILLE has been unlucky recently, having been narrowly denied in consecutive starts at Thirsk, but Jedd O'Keeffe's charge is fancied to receive a welcome change of luck now returned to the all-weather. Crystal Guard is 2lb lower than when successful over course and distance in January so he must enter calculations, while Lord Torranaga and Ideal Dream appeal most of the remainder.
PRINCE ACHILLE is holding his form very well this year and is taken to notch a second win. Lord Torranaga, Trailblazer and Toscan Genius are a trio of potential threats.
There was some eyecatching late headway from CRYSTAL GUARD (nap) at Ayr last time and he looks primed to record his second C&D success.

Cusack |
(12) (50/1 -150%)50/1(-150%) | (12) Cusack 50/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 10/1, reportedly finished lame when last of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 62 days ago. Absent subsequently and he's a likely candidate to bounce back. Below par on turf two months ago but has saved a lot of his best efforts for this C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (8) (1.88/1 +46%) Fleur De Mer |
1.88/1(+46%) | (8) Fleur De Mer 1.88/1, Much improved switched to handicaps, off the mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in July prior to a solid second at Chelmsford (10f) 31 days ago, edging left final 100 yds and keeping on. Has to be on the shortlist again. Good start to handicap career on AW and likely has more to offer; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (28/1 -75%) Irish Flame |
28/1(-75%) | (1) Irish Flame 28/1, Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, heavy, 28/1) 39 days ago, making no impression. Mark is easing if return to AW sparks a revival. Well held in turf handicaps last twice but seems better on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (2.25/1 +36%) Barrolo |
2.25/1(+36%) | (10) Barrolo 2.25/1, Different proposition gelded/switched to handicaps this term, taking his record to 4 from 5 with a bit to spare in a 3-y-o handicap at Newmarket (10f) 3 weeks ago. Unexposed at this trip and unlikely we've seen all he's got to offer yet. Player. Made it 4-5 in turf handicaps at Newmarket (1m2f) 20 days ago; big player if as good on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/1 +21%) Elshaameq |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Elshaameq 11/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm, 33/1) 64 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Best efforts to date have come on an artificial surface and better showing anticipated. Never-dangerous fifth on turf latest but best form on AW, including a C&D second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (28/1 -133%) Mercurius Power |
28/1(-133%) | (9) Mercurius Power 28/1, Best effort a while when third in a 14-runner handicap here (7f) on penultimate start last month. Never figured back on turf when eighth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (1m) latest though and he steps back up significantly in trip here. Third over 7f here last month but inconsistent and held on turf since; stamina to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (6.5/1 +28%) Western Beat |
6.5/1(+28%) | (11) Western Beat 6.5/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 12 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly run race. Not taken lightly. C&D winner who has run with credit when reaching the frame on her last four outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (50/1 -257%) Danielsflyer |
50/1(-257%) | (7) Danielsflyer 50/1, Latest win here (1m) in March. 33/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 23 days ago, not ideally placed but running on. Not out of things operating from last winning mark. All wins at 1m or shorter but penultimate C&D fourth shows this 9yo stays 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (20/1 -43%) Don't Look Back |
20/1(-43%) | (5) Don't Look Back 20/1, Winner at Doncaster in April. Respectable third of 6 in handicap (14/1) at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Ease in class rates a plus and he's no forlorn hope with his rider taking off handy 3 lb. 1-18 overall and no more than respectable third at Pontefract latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (40/1 +0%) Glory Nights |
40/1(+0%) | (2) Glory Nights 40/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 29 days ago, always behind. Pick of his efforts to date have come on AW but he comes here with plenty to prove in any case. Well held in two handicaps on turf but did show ability in AW novices prior to that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (8.5/1 -89%) Queen Of Sparta |
8.5/1(-89%) | (13) Queen Of Sparta 8.5/1, Well-related filly who has offered minor promise on 2 of her 3 starts in maiden/novice events in recent months. Never figured on turf at Lingfield when last seen in July but no surprise to see a better showing now handicapping up in trip. Market confidence behind her would look significant. Handicap newcomer for a good stable; draw not ideal but still a very interesting runner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (16/1 -33%) Sagauteur |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Sagauteur 16/1, C&D winner. 7/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to soft) 43 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Comes here on a good mark and no surprise to see a better showing. Placed over C&D on yard debut; possible excuse latest and is feasibly handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (33/1 -18%) Buckshaw Village |
33/1(-18%) | (4) Buckshaw Village 33/1, 16/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 62 days ago. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Lost way for Richard Fahey and remains to be seen if big step up in trip sparks revival. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BARROLO hasn't looked back since being switched to handicaps, winning four out of five starts, and the gelded son of Havana Grey might have what it takes to defy a further 4lb rise in the ratings. Fleur De Mer hit the woodwork at Chelmsford last time and is entitled to be thereabouts once more, while market support should be noted for George Boughey's Queen Of Sparta ahead of her handicap bow.
BARROLO took another step forward as he made it 4 wins from 5 starts in handicaps with a bit to spare at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and, still unexposed at this trip, all looks set fair for another big run from Grant Tuer's progressive 3-y-o. Fellow 3-y-o Fleur de Mer is improving herself and feared along with Western Beat. Queen of Sparta is one to note in the betting now handicapping for her shrewd stable.
The 3yos FLEUR DE MER and Barrolo are handicappers heading in the right direction, with a narrow preference for the former.

1st (9) (50/1 -52%) Grey Force One |
50/1(-52%) | (9) Grey Force One 50/1, 40/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. 6f turf novice winner last summer but has largely struggled since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3.5/1 +30%) Sun Power |
3.5/1(+30%) | (4) Sun Power 3.5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 2 days ago. Can make presence felt if turned out again quickly. No win since 2021 but Wednesday's fourth at Southwell shows he arrives in reasonable form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6/1 +25%) Emperor Caradoc |
6/1(+25%) | (3) Emperor Caradoc 6/1, 6/1, very good third of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 30 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and shouldn't be far away if taking to this surface. Placed twice on turf since joining this yard; AW debut; one of more likely types. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (14/1 -56%) Ellabella |
14/1(-56%) | (5) Ellabella 14/1, Latest win at Dundalk in March. Eighteenth of 20 in handicap (33/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good). Off 112 days ahead of this tapeta debut for new yard but she wouldn't be without a chance if able to reproduce her polytrack form from Ireland on this surface. Good record on AW and interesting to see how she goes in betting on debut for Iain Jardine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/1 +31%) Code Purple |
11/1(+31%) | (6) Code Purple 11/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Redcar in April. 7/2, last of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft) 56 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ran no sort of race at Chester in July but in good form before that, including C&D win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (3.5/1 +30%) Sidney's Son |
3.5/1(+30%) | (7) Sidney's Son 3.5/1, Career best when winning 7-runner minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm, 4/6) 16 days ago. Moving back up in trip won't be an issue and he's a major player back in handicap company. Came good on turf latest; second in C&D handicap off same mark earlier in year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (8.5/1 -155%) Rocket Rod |
8.5/1(-155%) | (2) Rocket Rod 8.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in June. Respectable fourth of 16 in handicap at that course (7f, good to firm, 10/1) 20 days ago. Strong claims returned to the AW off the same mark. In good form on turf lately and is a former C&D winner; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (8/1 +43%) Rockin Rosa |
8/1(+43%) | (12) Rockin Rosa 8/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D (7/1) 24 days ago, readily. More on her plate up 4 lb in this stronger race. Came from well off pace to win over C&D latest; 4lb rise manageable; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (40/1 -21%) Abnaa |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Abnaa 40/1, Three-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. 33/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 35 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Out of sorts lately but too well treated to dismiss over C&D which brings out best in him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (100/1 -25%) Mossbawn |
100/1(-25%) | (1) Mossbawn 100/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 80/1) 59 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but leap of faith is now required. Mark in freefall but lots to prove after failing to beat rival in three runs for this yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having been given a bit of time to freshen up, CODE PURPLE failed to deliver despite being well supported at Chester in July. The Ribchester gelding has been given a similar break since then and he might resume his progress back on a synthetic surface. Three-time course winner Rocket Rod clearly enjoys it at this venue and could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Slippin Jimmy, who may improve for first-time cheekpieces.
While SIDNEY'S SON hardly broke new ground when deservedly opening his account in a Carlisle novice 16 days ago, that odds-on success could prove to be a confidence-boosting springboard for Nigel Tinkler's charge. He has performed with credit on both previous visits here and gets the nod ahead of Rocket Rod, who has followed his Doncaster win in June with a couple of solid efforts in defeat and should remain competitive. Slippin Jimmy and Sun Power are others to consider.
This is competitive. ROCKIN ROSA has reacted well to the cheekpieces going on and is taken to defy a 4lb rise for her latest C&D win.

1st (1) (4/1 +56%) Abruzzo Mia |
4/1(+56%) | (1) Abruzzo Mia 4/1, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (5/1). Off 6 months with more required. Went close over C&D on h'cap debut in Dec; off since Feb but unexposed and down in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (3/1 +14%) Caribbean Sunset |
3/1(+14%) | (9) Caribbean Sunset 3/1, Course winner. Latest win here in August. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Ayr (6f, good) 27 days ago. In the mix. Behind Kats Bob in two of last three runs but the other was a 6f win here; trip a question. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (6/1 -33%) Kats Bob |
6/1(-33%) | (8) Kats Bob 6/1, Latest win at Ayr in July before good second of 10 in handicap there (6f, good) 27 days ago, no match for winner. Merits serious consideration off a 4 lb lower mark here. Comes here in top form and a key player if he can translate his turf form to AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (28/1 -56%) Pembrokeshire |
28/1(-56%) | (6) Pembrokeshire 28/1, 50/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 65 days ago, met some trouble. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving William Jarvis. Needs to step forward. Didn't progress for former yard but does have ability; market to guide on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (4/1 +0%) Kalganov |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Kalganov 4/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Every chance if back to best. AW winner in France; handicapper has been on top in 2023 but there has been some promise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (33/1 +0%) Sassoon |
33/1(+0%) | (11) Sassoon 33/1, 40/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 38 days ago. Unreliable type. Stood little racing since 2021; vulnerable on a rare AW run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (12/1 -33%) Danzart |
12/1(-33%) | (4) Danzart 12/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in June. 9/2, last of 8 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Others more persuasive. Completed a hat-trick in the summer; flopped latest but could bounce back after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (8/1 +43%) Spartan Fighter |
8/1(+43%) | (7) Spartan Fighter 8/1, 6-time course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 34 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Multiple course winner; return to AW in his favour but others stronger all the same. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (7/1 +13%) Burning The Bails |
7/1(+13%) | (10) Burning The Bails 7/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Ayr (7.2f, heavy) 39 days ago. Dangerous if scaling a revival. Struggled on soft for this yard but on a fair mark if the return to AW piques his interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (50/1 -25%) Spells At Dawn |
50/1(-25%) | (5) Spells At Dawn 50/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, firm, 33/1) 63 days ago. Others appeal more. Tailed off in both runs this year; too much to prove for comfort. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KATS BOB finished a solid second off a mark of 68 at Ayr last month and may be able to capitalise off a 4lb lower mark now reverting to the all-weather. Secret Road offered more encouragement on his second appearance for Tristan Davidson when seventh at Redcar recently and he shouldn't be discounted, with a 2lb drop in the ratings likely to help. Caribbean Sunset also makes some appeal now tried over 7f for the first time.
KATS BOB can race off a 4 lb lower mark than when a good recent Ayr second so looks the way to go. Secret Road is weighted to have a say if on his A-game so needs considering along with course winner.Caribbean Sunset.
Neither Burning The Bails nor PEMBROKESHIRE are solid options but there are grounds for expecting better from them today.

1st (2) (1.1/1 +41%) Dark Encounter |
1.1/1(+41%) | (2) Dark Encounter 1.1/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fourth of 20 in nursery at York (7f, good to firm, 40/1) 15 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Makes tapeta debut. Weighted to go close. Promising 4th at York on nursery debut, staying on well; 1m should suit; more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7.5/1 -50%) Consoling |
7.5/1(-50%) | (5) Consoling 7.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 28/1, creditable third of 15 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta/handicap debut and in the mix. 7f maiden winner last month; similar form over 6f at Newmarket since; 1m a question mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/1 +0%) Alpen Power |
5/1(+0%) | (3) Alpen Power 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, sixth of 11 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 26 days ago, needing stiffer test. Much respected on his handicap debut. Promise in three runs at up to 1m without looking obviously well treated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (6/1 -33%) Gamraan |
6/1(-33%) | (1) Gamraan 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 20 in nursery at York (7f, good to firm, 14/1) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with more needed. Below par at York latest but earlier Goodwood second was encouraging; 1m should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 -41%) Star Of Lazise |
12/1(-41%) | (6) Star Of Lazise 12/1, Course winner. Winner here in August. 7/1, fourth of 8 in nursery at Carlisle (6.9f, good) 8 days ago, barely adequate test. In the picture. 7f winner here last month; looks ready for 1m and could be capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (7/1 +18%) Short Circuit |
7/1(+18%) | (4) Short Circuit 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 15/2) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs considering. Promise at up to 7f and this trip should suit on paper; capable of better. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
DARK ENCOUNTER outran his big odds to finish a close-up fourth over 7f at York last month, which was a very encouraging first start in nursery company. The son of Dark Angel has only been raised 2lb for that display and that could prove to be a lenient decision. Gamraan is best judged on his second at Goodwood on his penultimate run and could also get involved, while Alpen Power is likely to show a lot more now that he is tackling nurseries.
DARK ENCOUNTER posted a very good fourth in a big-field York nursery last time and looks ahead of his mark despite taking a 2 lb rise. Handicap-debutant Consoling could emerge as the chief threat to Karl Burke's colt ahead of course-winner Star of Lazise.
Dark Encounter finished in front of GAMRAAN at York last time but that run isn't the one to judge the selection on.

1st (6) (6.5/1 +0%) Gunfighter |
6.5/1(+0%) | (6) Gunfighter 6.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 7/2, fifth of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good) 29 days ago, having run of race. Promise in two 6f novices and he doesn't have much to find; may improve for 7f+ though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5/1 +44%) Pianoforte |
5/1(+44%) | (8) Pianoforte 5/1, Once-raced maiden. 7/1, fifth of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good) on debut 23 days ago. Open to progress and can't be ruled out. Encouraging debut at Salisbury last month; should know more today and he's a contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6/1 -20%) Appellant |
6/1(-20%) | (3) Appellant 6/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in maiden (10/1) at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Debut was promising and he's not one to write off. Good 2nd at Ayr on debut; backward step at Ascot but the initial effort gives him claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Trefor |
4.5/1(+0%) | (1) Trefor 4.5/1, 17/2, won 13-runner minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, suited by drop in trip. Capable of better still, so worthy of respect under a penalty. Well backed when winning at Windsor 13 days ago; more to come but needs it under a penalty. |

28/1(-12%) | (5) Bury Lane 28/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) on debut 42 days ago. Unlikely to be involved. Outpaced from halfway on Thirsk debut six weeks ago (6f, soft); needs a good deal more. |

66/1(+0%) | (9) Salamanca Lad 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, tenth of 13 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 25 days ago. Needs to do more. Promise on debut but he didn't build on it at Wolverhampton last month; nurseries beckon. |

2.25/1(-29%) | (2) Apocalyx 2.25/1, Promising type. 11/2, second of 14 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) on debut 21 days ago, running on. Sets the standard and should benefit from that initial experience, so capable of opening his account at the second attempt. Debut effort at Thirsk was full of promise (6f, good); open to lots of improvement; solid. |

9th (11) (100/1 -52%) Please Please Me |
100/1(-52%) | (11) Please Please Me 100/1, Foaled March 5. Eqtidaar filly. Closely related to winner up to 6f Cool Spirit and half-sister to 6f winner Fircombe Hall. Half-sister to the yard's triple C&D winner Fircombe Hall but likely one for later on. |

25/1(-56%) | (4) Brummell 25/1, Once-raced maiden. 20/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) on debut 21 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer. Weakened late and beaten around 10l on last month's debut; can do better but needs to. |

11th (7) (18/1 -29%) Indication Court |
18/1(-29%) | (7) Indication Court 18/1, Once-raced maiden. 12/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at Chester (7f, good) on debut 70 days ago, having run of race. Knew his job when a front-running 4th of 7 at Chester (7f); drop in trip should suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
APOCALYX shaped with plenty of promise when second behind a subsequent winner on debut at Thirsk and he should progress a great deal from that. Trefor struck at Windsor on his second start by a short head, but he has a 6lb penalty to carry and that will make life tougher for him. Of the remainder, The Liegeman makes the most appeal after his sixth at Bath.
APOCALYX showed plenty when runner-up on debut and with average improvement he should be able to go one better. Trefor carries a penalty for his recent Windsor success but he's the main danger with the scope for further progress. Appellant can get involved if back to the sort of form he showed on debut.
Pianoforte and APOCALYX are open to considerable improvement and Richard Fahey's colt is marginally preferred.

125/1(-25%) | (4) Bonny Scot 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, well-beaten eighth of 10 to Love Lies in maiden at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Down the field in sprint maiden/novice events on turf last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Love Lies won on only her second outing at Ayr last month but she could find it tough to give a 7lb penalty to the James Fanshawe-trained THUNDER PRINCESS. The daughter of Night Of Thunder finished third over 7f at Doncaster, which was a pleasing debut and she could improve to strike now down in trip. Charencey could also go well after his Chepstow third.
THUNDER PRINCESS shaped with plenty of promise when third at Doncaster on debut and, with improvement on the cards, she can get the better of Love Lies, who has a penalty to contend with. The rest have something to find, so it's likely to develop into a match.
A good chance this will develop into a straight fight between THUNDER PRINCESS and Love Lies, with the former narrowly preferred.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
GLOBAL TYCOON made a highly encouraging start for Joseph Parr when third at Windsor and he was kindly dropped 1lb for that outing, which now puts him below his last winning mark. The four-year-old ran well at this track over 7f on his penultimate run and he ought to go very close. Copper Mountain was a respectable fifth at Musselburgh last time and she goes off the same mark, while Rum Runner is another to consider in his current form.
In a wide-open looking handicap, GLOBAL TYCOON could prove to be the answer. The 4-y-o is 1 lb below the mark off which he opened his account at Kempton last year and has shaped as though his turn is again near in two starts for John Butler and, most recently at Windsor, on debut for this yard. Mr Strutter and Royal Prospect are feared most.
In an open finale, C&D winner RUM RUNNER has been in good form of late and looks as solid as any.

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.
