---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (3.33/1 -33%) Teumessias Fox |
3.33/1(-33%) | (4) Teumessias Fox 3.33/1, Gelded in the interim and proved much too good returned to all-weather after 6 months off in 11-runner handicap at Kempton a couple of months ago, going clear in impressive fashion under hands-and-heels riding. Hit with 10 lb rise but remains of interest back on turf. 10lb higher today, following an impressive win (1m4f, AW) in March after a gelding op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4.5/1 +0%) Crystal Delight |
4.5/1(+0%) | (7) Crystal Delight 4.5/1, Opened his account on first outing since leaving Sir Michael Stoute (60,000 gns) after a breathing operation at Lingfield in December and has hit the crossbar on both subsequent starts, not seen to best effect back there 11 weeks ago. Remains unexposed so one to consider. Second in his two AW handicaps; off 77 days but lightly raced and may have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (18/1 +28%) Raymond Tusk |
18/1(+28%) | (2) Raymond Tusk 18/1, Useful performer on the Flat but last seen tailed-off in minor event at Southwell (16.5f) 4 months ago. Handicapper given him a chance back on turf/at a more suitable trip, but others make more appeal for win purposes. 1st and 2nd back on Flat last spring but made less of an impact since; down the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (3.5/1 +61%) Moktasaab |
3.5/1(+61%) | (3) Moktasaab 3.5/1, Hit the ground running for this yard last season, scoring at Goodwood and Newbury. Far from disgraced in better company after but attitude increasingly let him down towards the back end of the year, so percentage call is to look elsewhere on return. Won his first two starts in 2022; beaten a neck over 1m4f at Newbury on penultimate start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (16/1 +11%) Obsidian Knight |
16/1(+11%) | (11) Obsidian Knight 16/1, Notched a third success at Lingfield in January and remained in good nick, finishing a close seventh back there (10f, AW) last month (finishing with running left). However, both previous efforts on turf left plenty to be desired so tough to support. Doing well on AW; big stumbling block for supporters is his turf record. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (18/1 -29%) Prydwen |
18/1(-29%) | (5) Prydwen 18/1, Had top claimer up and duly stepped up on his reappearance effort when cosily scoring at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 15/2) in March, despite coming wide. Creditable effort in a better race when mid-field at Kempton (11f) since but even more needed back on turf. Ran creditably in a warm AW race on latest start and looks in with an each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (5.5/1 +31%) Capital Theory |
5.5/1(+31%) | (6) Capital Theory 5.5/1, On the up with 3 AW wins in December and has continued the good work since, including a win at Chelmsford (1¼m) in March. Handled conditions when runner-up back on turf at Ripon (12f, heavy) last week and not without hope if handling the quick turnaround. Good sequence on AW was extended to soft ground when second last Saturday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (33/1 +0%) Ace Rothstein |
33/1(+0%) | (9) Ace Rothstein 33/1, Useful operator who made a solid start for this stable when seventh of 18 at Goodwood in last summer. Had a handful of spins over hurdles this year, going agonisingly close at Huntington (15.8f, good to soft) a couple of months ago so not totally dismissed back in this sphere. 10lb lower than this time last year; there was an upturn over hurdles on latest outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (10/1 -33%) Stowell |
10/1(-33%) | (1) Stowell 10/1, Had 3-y-o season cut short but an encouragement when third in Group 3 on 2022 return at Newbury. Failed to kick on from though, and having been sold for 95,000 gns, didn't give his running after 4 months off (had breathing op) when last of 9 in listed event at Kempton 6 months ago. Wind/gelding operations before stable debut in October, shaping better than last suggests. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (33/1 -65%) Star Caliber |
33/1(-65%) | (8) Star Caliber 33/1, Drawn a blank since debut win in autumn 2020 but he's pretty useful and was a good third in a valuable Chester handicap on final run of a light campaign last season. Offered little on first start for new connections at Newbury (16.5f, heavy) just over 2 weeks ago so probably best watched. No win since debut (2yo) and it's hard to put him top of the list after reappearance show. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (12/1 -71%) Vaynor |
12/1(-71%) | (10) Vaynor 12/1, Notched his fourth success of 2022 at Chelmsford (13.3f) when last seen 6 months ago, showing his versatility and having just enough to fend off the rallying leader. Returns from a just a 2 lb higher mark and every chance he will be involved. Won twice on turf last June and twice on AW in the autumn; raised 2lb since latest start. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
1st: 2.5/1 (4) TEUMESSIAS FOX 2nd: 7/1 (10) VAYNOR 3rd: 4.5/1 (7) CRYSTAL DELIGHT
Having been gelded prior to his winter break, TEUMESSIAS FOX bounced back to form in style when running out a bloodless winner at Kempton. The son of Lope De Vega is now 10lb higher back on the grass, but he remains open to further improvement and that rise could underestimate him. Crystal Delight has been knocking on the door on the all-weather and he's respected, along with Vaynor, who returns to the fray in search of his hat-trick. Moktasaab might not be far away either.
A tricky start to proceedings but CRYSTAL DELIGHT wasn't seen to best effect when finishing runner-up at Lingfield 11 weeks ago, so William Jarvis' unexposed 4-y-o gets the verdict to double his tally at the expense of Teumessias Fox, who couldn't have been much more impressive when making a winning reappearance at Kempton a couple of months ago. Vaynor and Capital Theory can fight out third spot.
Having threatened more than he delivered on occasions, TEUMESSIAS FOX (nap) returned from a gelding operation to win in fine style.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (3.5/1 +22%) Azure Blue |
3.5/1(+22%) | (1) Azure Blue 3.5/1, Likeable filly who scored 4 times in 2022, signing off with listed success over C&D in October. Sort to go on again this season. Player. Won similar event over C&D when last seen, taking Newmarket record to 3-4; progressive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3.5/1 +56%) Heredia |
3.5/1(+56%) | (5) Heredia 3.5/1, Won her first 4 starts, notably the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot last June, but she didn't go on subsequently, only eighth in 7f Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster final run. Needs to get back on track after 8 months off. Could tap back into her earlier progress this term; 1-1 over 6f (debut win). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (8/1 -23%) Perdika |
8/1(-23%) | (10) Perdika 8/1, Useful filly. Bagged 5.5f listed event at Chantilly in March and took her form up a notch when an excellent second of 16 in similar company at Bath 15 days ago. Can give another good account. Listed winner in March; interesting as this has generally been a good race for 3yos. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (20/1 +70%) Kape Moss |
20/1(+70%) | (6) Kape Moss 20/1, Largely consistent filly and she returned with last-gasp 5f win at Southwell in March. Again slowly away when fast-finishing second in handicap at Epsom (5f) 11 days ago. This demands plenty more however. In good form in handicaps this term; has the worst chance at the weights upped in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (12/1 +14%) Makarova |
12/1(+14%) | (7) Makarova 12/1, Landed back-to-back Salisbury handicaps (at 6f) last spring and she acquitted herself well after, tongue tied when runner-up to Azure Blue in listed race over C&D final run. Not discounted on her seasonal return. Has a strong record over 6f; ties in with Azure Blue on course form last time out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (28/1 -40%) Princess Shabnam |
28/1(-40%) | (8) Princess Shabnam 28/1, Useful filly but she ended 2022 below par and came in only fourteenth in listed race at Bath (5f) on her reappearance 15 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Made all to beat Gale Force Maya at Pontefract last summer; not in the same form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (8.5/1 +23%) Spring Feeling |
8.5/1(+23%) | (9) Spring Feeling 8.5/1, Progressive Irish filly who landed 7.4f Tipperary maiden before posting a very good third in Group 3 there later last August. Open to further improvement and she's no forlorn hope. Unexposed Irish filly; has possibilities provided she copes with this drop in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (18/1 +0%) Kimngrace |
18/1(+0%) | (4) Kimngrace 18/1, Useful filly who resumed with 5f listed success at Lingfield in February. Below that form both subsequent runs, though she wasn't knocked about when tenth at Bath 15 days ago. Still needs considering. Finished behind two of these rivals at Bath last time; something to find at the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (6/1 +33%) Queen Olly |
6/1(+33%) | (11) Queen Olly 6/1, Useful juvenile for David Loughnane when runner-up in listed event over C&D final start. Below-par eighth on yard debut in Nell Gwyn here 17 days ago but she's not discounted reverted in trip. This drop back in distance looks a major plus; has form figures of 1432 over 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (5.5/1 -38%) Gale Force Maya |
5.5/1(-38%) | (3) Gale Force Maya 5.5/1, Progressed into a smart sprinter last year, winning 5 times (bagged listed events at York and Ayr) and signed off with a creditable fourth to stablemte Azure Blue over C&D. This C&D winner holds very good form claims. Cracking mare who holds leading claims on best form; below par in this race last year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
1st - 4/1 (3) GALE FORCE MAYA 2nd - 4.5/1 (1) AZURE BLUE 3rd - 8/1 (5) HEREDIA
GALE FORCE MAYA (fourth) was giving Azure Blue (winner) 4lb when the pair met over C&D in October, but it would be no surprise were Michael Dods' charge, who was progressive last season, to reverse that form on revised terms. Makarova outran her odds to finish second in that same contest and she merits respect, despite having a bit to find once again. Irish-raider Spring Feeling was last seen finishing a good third at Group level and the unexposed filly could rate higher yet.
Michael Dods looks to hold a strong hand here and his upwardly-mobile filly AZURE BLUE is fancied to resume where she left off last autumn and capture another C&D listed success. Fellow C&D scorer Gale Force Maya is more exposed but goes well fresh and she rates the chief threat to her stablemate, although George Boughey's duo Perdika and Queen Olly need considering too along with Irish-challenger Spring Feeling.
The shortlist is headed by the George Boughey-trained fillies QUEEN OLLY and Perdika. Third choice is Azure Blue.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (16) (7.5/1 +25%) Probe |
7.5/1(+25%) | (16) Probe 7.5/1, Ex-Irish winner who has got right back on track for his current yard, scoring at Wolverhampton (6f) before posting a very good second of 11 over C&D 17 days ago. Must enter calculations off the same mark. Fine C&D second last month; fast ground would be an unknown but plenty in favour otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (19) (8.5/1 +47%) Chairmanoftheboard |
8.5/1(+47%) | (19) Chairmanoftheboard 8.5/1, Useful 6f winner at his best who got back on track when third of 11 in handicap over C&D 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. In the picture. Third in this last year and over C&D in April; in the mix again in first-time cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (12/1 +40%) Apollo One |
12/1(+40%) | (8) Apollo One 12/1, Ended a lengthy losing run in 6f handicap at Kempton in November. Has won off a break before so he can give a good account on his reappearance. Ended 2022 with a win but will need to be at his best (after six months off) to follow up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (17) (10/1 +17%) Leap Abroad |
10/1(+17%) | (17) Leap Abroad 10/1, Looked on the up when scoring on July course here last summer and he made a promising return after 10 months off (also gelded) when fourth of 11 in handicap over C&D 17 days ago. Should be spot on now. Tough and progressive; shaped well when fourth here on reappearance; might be the answer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (25/1 -25%) Raatea |
25/1(-25%) | (14) Raatea 25/1, Useful handicapper who scored at Newcastle (6f) in June and ended 2022 with solid fourth there in December. Possibilities. Met trouble here 12 months ago; ended 2022 with fair run; not ruled out after layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (18/1 +0%) Strike Red |
18/1(+0%) | (9) Strike Red 18/1, Consistent sort who was a dual 6f winner last season. Stable is going well so he's one to consider on his seasonal return. Mark shot up after two autumn wins and well held final 4yo start; rain would probably suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (9/1 -13%) Admiral D |
9/1(-13%) | (13) Admiral D 9/1, Largely ran well in 2022 without getting his head in front and he resumed with an encouraging fifth of 11 over C&D 17 days ago, nearest finish. Cheekpieces go on for the first time. Considered. Good second at July meeting last year; shaped well on return; big player in new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (15) (33/1 +0%) Gis A Sub |
33/1(+0%) | (15) Gis A Sub 33/1, Poted a cracking effort when second in Gimcrack at 2 yrs but he failed to kick on last year. Falling in the weights yet others are preferred. Disappointing in 2022 but thrown in on the form of his second in the Gimcrack as a 2yo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (22/1 -57%) Silver Samurai |
22/1(-57%) | (5) Silver Samurai 22/1, Dual 6f winner last term who resumed from 6 months off with a good fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 26 days ago. Can build on it now so he's shortlisted. Two wins last spring; encouraging return from six months off at Kempton; high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (18/1 +10%) Summerghand |
18/1(+10%) | (1) Summerghand 18/1, Smart gelding who was a three-time winner last year, including Ayr Gold Cup and Listed event at Lingfield. Not seen to best effect when seventh at Newcastle last time but this C&D scorer is the type to bounce back. Admirable veteran; not at best this year but has had excuses; impossible to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (22/1 -38%) Juan Les Pins |
22/1(-38%) | (12) Juan Les Pins 22/1, Resurgent for his current yard last term, readily completing a four-timer at Doncaster in August. Posted a respectable reappearance fifth of 9 in 7f handicap here 18 days ago and he's in the mix now eased 1 lb. Did well after joining Mick Appleby last year; possibly needed reappearance; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (12/1 +0%) Blackrod |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Blackrod 12/1, Took this contest 12 months ago for Michael Dods but failed to go on for Ed Bethell subsequently and came in only tenth of 12 for another new yard at Kempton (6f) 26 days ago. Others appeal more. Clearcut winner of this race 12 months ago; only 2lb higher but below par since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (20) (28/1 -56%) Above |
28/1(-56%) | (20) Above 28/1, On a lengthy losing run and he came in only seventh of 11 in handicap over C&D 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Disappointing last time but was second in this race last year and he's now 6lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (21) (40/1 -21%) Equiano Springs |
40/1(-21%) | (21) Equiano Springs 40/1, 4-time C&D winner who shaped as if needing the outing after 8 months off when eighth of 11 over C&D 17 days ago. He's no forlorn hope with that run under his belt. 4-5 here but down the field behind several of today's rivals over C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (10) (20/1 +9%) Popmaster |
20/1(+9%) | (10) Popmaster 20/1, Went without a win in 2022 but he posted some good efforts, notably when runner-up in the Wokingham at Ascot. Shaped as if in need of the run when ninth at Newbury (6f) 15 days ago so can take a step forward now. Second in last year's Wokingham; had excuses on reappearance; dangerous if bouncing back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (6) (18/1 -13%) Lethal Levi |
18/1(-13%) | (6) Lethal Levi 18/1, Enjoyed a fine 2022 when scoring 4 times, including twice on the July course here. No surprise to see him go well on his seasonal return for his in-form yard. Front-runner; improved to win twice last summer; needs another step forward after layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (3) (14/1 +30%) Spirit Of Light |
14/1(+30%) | (3) Spirit Of Light 14/1, It's now 17 runs since his last win in 2021 but he posted a good third of 9 in handicap here (7f, soft) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and not discounted. On a long losing run; returning to 6f and new headgear may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (2) (16/1 +20%) Saint Lawrence |
16/1(+20%) | (2) Saint Lawrence 16/1, Winless since 2020 but he largely performed well during a truncated campaign last season. Gelded/off 8 months before facing stiff task in Abernant Stakes over C&D 16 days ago and no forlorn hope here. Winless since 2yo days but has faced some stiff tasks; this is easier; could have a say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (11) (3.6/1 +45%) Tanmawwy |
3.6/1(+45%) | (11) Tanmawwy 3.6/1, Three-time 6f winner last season who made a promising return when second of 15 in handicap at Newbury (6f) 15 days ago, collared only late on. Has to be taken seriously off an unchanged mark. Jolt of improvement when beaten neck at Newbury; leading contender if on another going day. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (4) (40/1 -21%) Tabdeed |
40/1(-21%) | (4) Tabdeed 40/1, Arrives on a long losing run and he came in only seventh of 10 in listed race at Bro (6f, good) 27 days ago. Others appeal more. Ended 2022 out of form; back to workable mark but others have more obvious claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (23) (66/1 +18%) Sound Of Iona |
66/1(+18%) | (23) Sound Of Iona 66/1, Won 4 times at 5f/6f in a busy 2022 but he came in last of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, soft) 6 days ago. Reverted in trip and no surprise if he bounced back. 1m was too far on reappearance; may well bounce back over today's more suitable distance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
1st: 11/1 (17) LEAP ABROAD 2nd: 6.5/1 (11) TANMAWWY 3rd: 10/1 (16) PROBE
In a wide-open contest, only a tentative vote can go to BLACKROD. The son of Mayson was well in command when winning this from a 2lb lower mark last year, and he might be able to repeat the feat following a recent pipe-opener at Kempton. Tanmawwy defied market weakness only to be narrowly denied at Newbury on his return to action. He is 2lb well-in and merits respect, as do Probe, Chairmanoftheboard, Lethal Levi and Popmaster.
A fiercely competitive sprint in which Charles Hills's TANMAWWY edges the vote given he shaped promisingly when runner-up at Newbury last time and can race off an unchanged mark here. Probe has made an excellent start to life with Jennie Candlish and is feared most, although Admiral D, Leap Abroad and Chairmanoftheboard are others who can have a say.
The answer to a highly competitive sprint could be the progressive 4yo LEAP ABROAD who shaped well when fourth at the Craven meeting.

1st (5) (7/1 +0%) King Of Conquest |
7/1(+0%) | (5) King Of Conquest 7/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who took his form up another notch when landing a big-field handicap over this trip in Bahrain in February. A mark of 102 demands further improvement but no surprise were he to find it. Revised mark demands further progress but he's lightly raced and it may be possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (8/1 +11%) Saga |
8/1(+11%) | (3) Saga 8/1, Posted a really smart effort with blinkers on for the first time when only just failing to get up in Britannia at Royal Ascot last summer but the same headgear didn't work so well in 3 subsequent starts. First-time cheekpieces replace blinkers on return. Player if recapturing his Ascot form. Went so close from the back at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); gelded; different headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (25/1 -39%) Notre Belle Bete |
25/1(-39%) | (2) Notre Belle Bete 25/1, Took his form up a notch when gaining career win number 4 (all AW) in valuable Easter Classic at Newcastle (1¼m) 22 days ago. Has plenty of good efforts on turf. Harry Davies takes a handy 3 lb off. Resurgent in cheekpieces on AW, very valuable win last time; third in this race last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (28/1 -27%) Toshizou |
28/1(-27%) | (13) Toshizou 28/1, Possibly not easiest to train (never had more than 3 outings in a season) but he did quickly develop into a very useful handicapper for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland. Stepped up on his reappearance when third of 13 over 1m here at the Craven meeting, although Empirestateofmind holds him on that form. Came from last over 2f out when third of 13 over 1m here (good to soft) 18 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (25/1 +38%) Dutch Decoy |
25/1(+38%) | (15) Dutch Decoy 25/1, Five-time 7f/1m winner in 2022 (including twice on the July course here). Respectable fourth of 13 over 1m here 18 days ago but he'll need to step up on that to play a prominent role in this stronger race. 7th in the C&D Cambridgeshire in September and fourth of 13 over 1m here on latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (16) (22/1 +12%) Titian |
22/1(+12%) | (16) Titian 22/1, Landed a 16-runner 1¼m handicap at York last autumn. Bettered that form when second of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster 5 weeks ago and the extra 1f here should play to his strengths. Yet another who can't be discounted. Neck 2nd of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (1m, heavy); step back up in trip will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (10/1 -18%) Dual Identity |
10/1(-18%) | (11) Dual Identity 10/1, Both consistent and progressive last year. First home on his side in the Cambridgeshire over C&D last September and it might have been one outing too many when a below-form third to Turntable on his final outing. One to consider. Third of 28 to Majestic in the Cambridgeshire over C&D (first of eight on far side). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (4/1 +33%) Jimi Hendrix |
4/1(+33%) | (8) Jimi Hendrix 4/1, Reacted very positively to blinkers (retained) when a comfortable winner of the Newbury Spring Mile (heavy) a fortnight ago. Well treated under a 5 lb penalty if the blinkers work again. 5lb penalty leaves him 4lb well-in after winning well at Newbury (1m, soft) two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (4.5/1 +18%) Majestic |
4.5/1(+18%) | (12) Majestic 4.5/1, Won the Cambridgeshire over C&D on final 4-y-o start and made a solid return to action when fourth of 22 in the Lincoln at Doncaster. Has a steadily progressive profile and ought to be very competitive again. Won 28-runner Cambridgeshire over C&D and good fourth of 22 in the Lincoln at Doncaster. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (50/1 -52%) Magical Morning |
50/1(-52%) | (9) Magical Morning 50/1, Useful sort who was a respectable second in a Saint-Cloud conditions race on his latest start. This is the lowest his mark has been for some time but others are still preferred. Fired only once for the Gosdens last season; plenty of ability remains this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (40/1 -82%) Howth |
40/1(-82%) | (14) Howth 40/1, Better than ever at only the second time of asking for new trainer Mick Appleby when second of 10 at Chelmsford (1¼m) in November. Absent since but the booking of Oisin Murphy suggests he could be primed for this reappearance. Second go for new yard saw him finish with a flourish in November latest (1m2f, AW). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (9/1 +0%) Turntable |
9/1(+0%) | (10) Turntable 9/1, Excellent record here, ending his time with Chris Wall with wins in handicaps over this trip and 1¼m (both under Kaiya Fraser) last autumn. Could go on to even better things for new stable. Very interesting. Form figures read 411211 on this course (1m-1m2f); 7yo but new yard is going strongly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (8/1 +20%) Empirestateofmind |
8/1(+20%) | (6) Empirestateofmind 8/1, Improved in the second half of 2022, including a big-field win at Thirsk (1m). All the sharper for his reappearance run in the Lincoln when second of 13 in 1m course handicap 18 days ago. Respected from the same mark. Never better than when second of 13 here (1m, good to soft) 18 days ago; due to go up 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (17) (66/1 -32%) The City's Phantom |
66/1(-32%) | (17) The City's Phantom 66/1, Not obviously well handicapped enough to land a race like this but the fact he made a winning reappearance in 2020, 2021 and 2022 means he'd be a dangerous one to dismiss. This race is much more demanding but he bids to win reappearance for fourth year in a row. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (1) (9/1 +25%) Cadillac |
9/1(+25%) | (1) Cadillac 9/1, Won listed race at Leopardstown and good second in Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot for Jessica Harrington last June. Failed to reach the same heights in 3 subsequent outings last year but should be very competitive if back to his best. Ryan Moore takes the ride. Showed enough for two new yards last year to be given respect in today's first handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (4) (50/1 -52%) Dawn Of Liberation |
50/1(-52%) | (4) Dawn Of Liberation 50/1, Useful colt who won conditions events at Doncaster (7f) and Goodwood (1m) in spring 2022. Creditable effort in listed race here in July but not seen since. Capable when fresh but it's hard to argue his mark looks generous. Has had wind surgery. Off since July (wind surgery this February) but won two of his first three starts in 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (7) (40/1 -43%) Great Max |
40/1(-43%) | (7) Great Max 40/1, Useful performer for Michael O'Callaghan last year. Positive start for new stable when 5¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Jimi Hendrix in Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, heavy) 14 days ago. Will need to build on that, though. Fourth of ten to Jimi Hendrix at Newbury and may have come on since that run. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
1st - 5.5/1 (12) MAJESTIC 2nd - 6/1 (8) JIMI HENDRIX 3rd - 12/1 (1) CADILLAC
Saga sports first-time cheekpieces back off a break and the now-gelded son of Invincible Spirit should not be underestimated. However, TURNTABLE landed a double when scoring over 1m2f at this track in October and is fancied to make a winning return to action for his new trainer, even though he is rated 5lb higher. Jimi Hendrix has to shoulder a 5lb penalty following a facile victory in the Spring Cup at Newbury, while Dutch Decoy is interesting stepping up slightly in trip.
Course-specialist TURNTABLE appeals as one who might up his game again for new trainer Harry Eustace so he's the suggestion. Newbury Spring Cup winner Jimi Hendrix will be a major threat if the blinkers work again. Royal runner Saga is sure to have his supporters and he's a contender if a change of headgear helps him to bounce back to last year's Britannia form. Cambridgeshire 1-3 Majestic and Dual Identity are others to consider in this ultra-competitive handicap.
This race looks red-hot but Cambridgeshire winner MAJESTIC gets the vote ahead of course specialist Turntable and Jimi Hendrix.

1st (17) (7/1 +75%) Vadream |
7/1(+75%) | (17) Vadream 7/1, Ran out a wide-margin winner of the listed Cammidge in the mud at Doncaster on the first day of the season but rather predictably failed to repeat that form at Newcastle just 6 days later. Others preferred. Smart at 6f on soft/heavy as when clear Listed winner in April; having first run at 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/1 +25%) Live In The Dream |
9/1(+25%) | (8) Live In The Dream 9/1, On a roll this year, seeing off Arecibo to land 5f Lingfield and Pontefract handicaps under this rider (unable to claim here). This demands another step forward but no surprise if he can make his presence felt in his current mood. Front-runs; more improvement when winning at Pontefract (soft; has won good to firm). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Manaccan |
3.5/1(+0%) | (1) Manaccan 3.5/1, Highly progressive sprinter last year, rounding off a fine campaign with victory in Dundalk Group 3. Must concede weight all round as a result on his return but no surprise if he proved good enough under Dettori. Better for return in 2022; on the upgrade after; won Irish AW Group 3 on final 3yo start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (12/1 +14%) Raasel |
12/1(+14%) | (10) Raasel 12/1, Continued his remarkable rise up the sprinting ranks last year with victory in Sandown Group 3 and a close second in the King George. Dropped away in Meydan Group 2 when last seen in February but no surprise to see him have another profitable campaign. Below best at Meydan this year but strong Group form at 5f last summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (11/1 +39%) Silky Wilkie |
11/1(+39%) | (11) Silky Wilkie 11/1, In good form on the AW during the winter and looked better than ever when storming clear in the Scottish Sprint Cup at Musselburgh last month. Not so good in the Abernant here since but shouldn't stay down for long. Improver this year; faded over 6f in Group 3 latest but more going for him at 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (15) (10/1 +38%) Get Ahead |
10/1(+38%) | (15) Get Ahead 10/1, Useful filly who shaped as if retaining all her ability after 7 months off at Bath a fortnight ago, not seen to best effect with her having little chance of winning from very early on. This is surely too tough. Useful 5f form as 3yo but needs to raise her game in this better race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 -79%) Existent |
50/1(-79%) | (6) Existent 50/1, Improved for the return to sprinting for this yard last year, landing back-to-back AW handicaps early doors and a close second in this race. This season's renewal is hotter and he may need the run in any case. Fit from AW when close 2nd in this race 12 months ago; back from 8 months off this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (16) (40/1 +50%) Sandbeck |
40/1(+50%) | (16) Sandbeck 40/1, Won three 5f handicaps last term, including on return. Has a ton to find on the figures to feature in this, however. Cheekpieces go on. Won first three 5f handicaps in 2022; particularly tough reappearance at the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (2.75/1 +17%) Twilight Calls |
2.75/1(+17%) | (14) Twilight Calls 2.75/1, Improved again last term, winning C&D handicap on return and running cracking races in the Temple Stakes and King's Stand (knuckled down well to grab second late on under Ryan Moore). There could be a top prize in him this year. Proved mettle in 2022, close 5th in this race and later 2nd in Group 1 at Ascot in June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (28/1 -27%) Korker |
28/1(-27%) | (7) Korker 28/1, Prone to slow starts but a classy sprinter when it all clicks, winning good York 5f 3-y-o handicap impressively a year ago. This is a stiff-enough re-introduction. Seventh to Manaccan in 5f Listed in October suggests he has a lot to find at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (28/1 -40%) Chipstead |
28/1(-40%) | (3) Chipstead 28/1, Better than ever last year, winning 5f Sandown and Catterick handicaps (first past the post in the Portland in between). Record suggests he may come on for this but no surprise to see him have another good campaign. Progressive back at about 5f in 2022; acts on all ground; can rise to a bigger occasion. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (11/1 +0%) Equality |
11/1(+0%) | (4) Equality 11/1, Won 5f handicaps at Windsor (first time up) and Haydock last season and signed off with a cracking run at Ascot. Good record fresh and could go well under Buick. Not invincible in handicaps but two impressive 5f wins; could have a nice prize in him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (16/1 +11%) Arecibo |
16/1(+11%) | (2) Arecibo 16/1, Coming up to 2 years since his last win (took 2 C&D handicaps early in 2021) but plenty of good efforts in the meantime. Put in his place by Live In The Dream in handicaps the last twice, though. Modest record in this race but dual C&D winner who is very capable on his day. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (66/1 -136%) Tis Marvellous |
66/1(-136%) | (13) Tis Marvellous 66/1, Good record at Ascot and landed Listed Beverley Bullet race for the second year running last summer. Suspect he'll come on for this (held in mid division in this last year). Usually easy to take on when reappearing; needs to improve on last year's 6th in this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
1st: 3.33/1 (14) TWILIGHT CALLS 2nd: 14/1 (10) RAASEL 3rd: 20/1 (5) EQUILATERAL
An impressive winner of a Group 3 at Dundalk back in October, Irish challenger Manaccan has to be considered a leading candidate. Even so, it could be worth siding with VADREAM, who bounced back in emphatic style when landing the Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster and then finished a fair sixth on All-Weather Championships Finals Day. C&D winner Twilight Calls was last seen chasing home Australian sensation Nature Strip in the King's Stand and is another to consider.
MANACCAN enjoyed a tremendous 2022 and looks a sprinter going places, one who could make the breakthrough at the highest level this year. He can make a successful return from stall 1 under Frankie Dettori. It looks a red-hot renewal of the Palace House and good cases can be made for plenty of others, Twilight Calls and Equality chief amongst them.
Twilight Calls is a contender but RAASEL made a painless transition from handicaps in 2022 and can add to his Group 3 win in July.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (3.5/1 +56%) Chaldean |
3.5/1(+56%) | (2) Chaldean 3.5/1, Frankel colt who progressed at a rate of knots last season, completing the 4-timer when edging out Royal Scotsman in Group1 Dewhurst here (7f) in October. 5/2, unseated rider at the start on his reappearance in the Greenham. Should stay 1m. Strong candidate. Mishap on reappearance but he was one of the top 2yos and may well stay 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (125/1 -25%) Hi Royal |
125/1(-25%) | (7) Hi Royal 125/1, Won a 1m Ayr novice at 2. Improved again when fourth in 7f course conditions race on reappearance, his late headway suggesting this return to 1m will suit. Capable of better but huge improvement needed to play a prominent role. Has potential but he's miles adrift of what others in this line-up have achieved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (11/1 -22%) Royal Scotsman |
11/1(-22%) | (12) Royal Scotsman 11/1, Gleneagles colt whose only blip at 2 came when disappointing behind Noble Style in the Gimcrack, bouncing back with head second to Chaldean in the Dewhurst here in the autumn, looking well suited by the step up 7f. Should prove as effective at 1m. He was gaining on Chaldean in the Group 1 Dewhurst here (7f, good) but beaten a head. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (150/1 -50%) Galeron |
150/1(-50%) | (6) Galeron 150/1, Useful colt who showed he's trained on well when third (Flight Plan 2¼ lengths ahead in second) of 11 in 1m Newcastle listed race on reappearance but surely biting off more than he can chew at ths level. Respectable third at Newcastle (1m, AW) in April but Flight Plan had his measure that day. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (33/1 +18%) Dubai Mile |
33/1(+18%) | (4) Dubai Mile 33/1, Did nothing but progress last year, second in Royal Lodge over C&D before producing a tremendously game performance to win 1¼m Criterium de Saint-Cloud (heavy) on final start. Another chunk of improvement needed here, though. Rallied his way to a narrow Group 1 win at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, heavy) in October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (10/1 +44%) Noble Style |
10/1(+44%) | (11) Noble Style 10/1, Unbeaten in 3 outings as a juvenile, culminating with 1¼-length defeat of Marshman in Gimcrack at York (6f, good to firm) in August. Missed the remainder of his 2-y-o campaign due to a bout of colic. Very talented but stamina the big unknown now stepping up 2f in trip. Looks all class (Group 2 win over 6f) but there is a significant question over his stamina. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (16/1 -60%) Sakheer |
16/1(-60%) | (13) Sakheer 16/1, Came a long way in a short space of time at 2, quickening clear in impressive fashion in Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, good; reopposing stablemate Charyn back in third) on final start. Looks a Group 1 performer but the big question is whether he'll stay 1m. Impressed over 6f as 2yo (Group 2 final start) and may well stay 1m; exciting prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (66/1 -32%) Charyn |
66/1(-32%) | (3) Charyn 66/1, Third to stablemate Sakheer in Mill Reef before ending his 2-y-o season with a 6f Group 2 win at Chantilly. Creditable 3 lengths second of 11 to Isaac Shelby in Greenham at Newbury (7f, heavy) on reappearance 14 days ago, keeping on in a manner which suggests 1m will suit him. Stuck to his task very well over 7f on soft at Newbury but no match for the winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (18/1 -13%) Holloway Boy |
18/1(-13%) | (8) Holloway Boy 18/1, Made winning debut in Chesham at Royal Ascot and backed that up in Group company subsequently. Beaten 5¼ lengths into third by Auguste Rodin in Futurity at Doncaster on final start but that doesn't tell whole story as he hung right across the track after tanking into the lead in a first-time visor. For all his meanderings at Doncaster, hard to envisage turning the tables on Auguste Rodin. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (25/1 +11%) Indestructible |
25/1(+11%) | (9) Indestructible 25/1, Chased home Chaldean in Acomb at York and Champagne at Doncaster for Michael O'Callaghan at 2. Took his form up another notch when making a successful reappearance for new trainer Karl Burke in Craven over C&D last month. More required to go close here. Recent Craven win over C&D (good) was improved form but today's rivals demand so much more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (14/1 -27%) Silver Knott |
14/1(-27%) | (14) Silver Knott 14/1, Below form when behind Chaldean and Indestructible in the Champagne but quickly back on track with defeat of Epictetus and Holloway Boy in the Autumn Stakes over C&D. Close second in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf final start. Buick seemingly prefers him to Noble Style. Not quite the star quality of some of these but battle-hardened and has shown he stays 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (1.62/1 +19%) Auguste Rodin |
1.62/1(+19%) | (1) Auguste Rodin 1.62/1, Unlucky on debut and made no mistake in 3 subsequent outings, running out the comfortable winner of Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in October. Saxon Warrior and Magna Grecia have completed the Futurity/2000 Guineas for the stable in recent years. Moore on him rather than Little Big Bear. Will probably be suited by further but he's one of the proven class performers in this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (40/1 +50%) Flight Plan |
40/1(+50%) | (5) Flight Plan 40/1, Night of Thunder colt who left debut run well behind to win 10-runner novice at Newcastle in November. Stepped up again when head second in 1m listed race there on Good Friday reappearance. More to come from him. Looks capable of further improvement but it's needed in a major way in this top race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (5.5/1 -38%) Little Big Bear |
5.5/1(-38%) | (10) Little Big Bear 5.5/1, Produced an outstanding juvenile performance when a devastating 7-length winner of Group 1 Phoenix at the Curragh (6f, good) last August. Missed the rest of the season due to a foot injury. Pedigree provides plenty of hope that he'll stay 1m. Deserted by Moore but still much respected. Irish 6f Group 1 on final start was last year's top-rated performance by a European 2yo. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
1st: 8/1 (2) CHALDEAN 2nd: 4/1 (10) LITTLE BIG BEAR 3rd: 2/1 (1) AUGUSTE RODIN
A gripping renewal of the 2000 Guineas, with several eyecatching contenders lining up, including Little Big Bear, who bolted up in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh when last seen. His stablemate AUGUSTE RODIN is narrowly preferred, though, with the son of Deep Impact looking a potential star when registering a striking success in the Vertem Futurity at Doncaster, and connections could harbour Triple Crown ambitions. Things didn't go to plan in the Greenham for Chaldean, who unseated Frankie Dettori coming out of the stalls, but he was impressive in the Dewhurst here.
AUGUSTE RODIN did everything right at 2 and can become the fourth horse (and third from his yard) since 2018 to complete the Futurity/2000 Guineas double. His stablemate Little Big Bear is bred to stay 1m and would be a major threat if reproducing anything close to his Phoenix Stakes form. Chaldean suffered an unfortunate experience on his reappearance but his juvenile form stacks up well and he can prove best of the home team ahead of Sakheer, who is already smart but isn't certain to stay 1m.
One who stays 1m well is preferred to the high-profile candidates who need to stretch their stamina, so AUGUSTE RODIN gets the vote.

1st (3) (2.75/1 +8%) Shaquille |
2.75/1(+8%) | (3) Shaquille 2.75/1, Well-made colt who progressed well last season, making it 3 wins from 4 starts in 8-runner novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in December. Withdrawn after refusing to enter stall at Newcastle on April 7th. Makes handicap debut in a refitted hood and open to further improvement. Only defeat came in a Group 3; unexposed as a sprinter and he looks well handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (8/1 +20%) Washington Heights |
8/1(+20%) | (5) Washington Heights 8/1, Strong travelling sort who ended last season with a fine third in the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f). Not seen to best effect on reappearance at Thirsk 2 weeks ago having raced on the outer wing on what seemed the worst of the ground, so worth another chance. Low-key reappearance (albeit from poor draw) but a case can be made on his useful 2yo form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (2/1 +69%) Ferrous |
2/1(+69%) | (10) Ferrous 2/1, Built on debut third when winning 10-runner maiden at Doncaster (6f) in November. Took another step forward when edged out only in the final strides by a promising sort on his reappearance at Southwell and shaped better than the bare result on his C&D handicap debut on most recent outing. Player. Shaped well on handicap debut here last month; more to come; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (5.5/1 +35%) Chasseral |
5.5/1(+35%) | (11) Chasseral 5.5/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark with ease on all-weather debut in 11-runner novice event at Newcastle (6f) in September. That was an ordinary race though, and more required now handicapping after 7 months off. Very easy winner on AW when last seen; more to come; interesting contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (16/1 +20%) Bonny Angel |
16/1(+20%) | (4) Bonny Angel 16/1, Dual winner as a 2-yo who ran about as well as could be expected when sixth of 16 in listed race at Bath (5f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Step back up in trip will suit but others look better treated on her return to handicap company. Progressive at two; pleasing return at Bath last month and returning to this trip a plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (7.5/1 +46%) Buccabay |
7.5/1(+46%) | (6) Buccabay 7.5/1, Much improved from debut when showing a good turn of foot to settle matters in a 6f Ascot maiden last July. Gelded after and shaped encouragingly after 9 months off when third at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Remains with potential. 6f Ascot winner last summer; off until fair third over 7f last month; mark looks tough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (20/1 +29%) Brave Nation |
20/1(+29%) | (1) Brave Nation 20/1, Made all in 5f Doncaster maiden on debut in April and much better than the result when fourth in a messy Norfolk Stakes next time. Rather went backwards thereafter, though, and bit to prove on return. Easy win on debut & ran cracker at Royal Ascot; struggled final 2 runs in 2022; tough task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (18/1 +64%) Tenjin |
18/1(+64%) | (2) Tenjin 18/1, Kempton nursery winner for Marco Botti in 2022 and fine third starting out for new yard in a Lingfield listed race in March. However, safely held on his last 2 starts, including in minor event at this venue last time. Others more persuasive. Engaged 2.25 Newmarket Friday. 80-1 but ran well, beaten only just over 3l, in 7f Listed race at Newmarket on Friday. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
1st: 3/1 (3) SHAQUILLE 2nd: 6.5/1 (7) EXPERT AGENT 3rd: 7.5/1 (9) ALMATY STAR
SHAQUILLE has made quite the start to his fledgling career and the form of his most recent success at Wolverhampton looks even stronger than it did at the time. The booking of James Doyle is another plus and he gets the vote ahead of the unexposed Buccabay and Expert Agent, who is three from three on the all-weather since being gelded. Eminency was unlucky when not getting the clearest of runs at Kempton last month and he must also enter calculations.
Plenty with chances but EMINENCY looked extremely unlucky not to win on his reappearance at Kempton 17 days ago and is worth backing to make amends. Expert Agent has done nothing but improve since undergoing a gelding operation and there's no reason why he can't transfer his all-weather form to turf. Ferrous shaped better than the bare result on his C&D handicap debut and completes the shortlist.
Ferrous has more to offer but EMINENCY can confirm the promise of his Kempton fourth.

1st (1) (3.5/1 -40%) Yacowlef |
3.5/1(-40%) | (1) Yacowlef 3.5/1, Looked well-suited by the demands of a larger-field handicap when second of 14 here (6f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Still low-mileage in handicaps and will have no issue with the return to 7f, so makes plenty of appeal. Ran well in Class 2 handicap at the Craven meeting; respected back down in class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (1.75/1 +30%) Striking Star |
1.75/1(+30%) | (5) Striking Star 1.75/1, Superbly bred and created a fine impression when a smooth winner of a Sandown novice (7f, heavy) on debut in September. Beaten favourite in the Horris Hill next time but got back on track when chasing a high-class prospect at Doncaster and he's a player on handicap bow. Doncaster reappearance form has substance; nicely bred and should still have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/1 +31%) Verdansk |
11/1(+31%) | (8) Verdansk 11/1, Consistent rather than progressive in minor event/maidens at Newbury last season. Overall judgement call is that he'll need more to figure from this mark on his handicap debut here. Consistent in three runs at Newbury last term; open to progress now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (2.25/1 +10%) Divine Libra |
2.25/1(+10%) | (3) Divine Libra 2.25/1, Tanked along when winning 10-runner minor event at Catterick (7f, heavy) on return 24 days ago. This is a tougher assignment on handicap debut but he's got a useful pedigree and appeals as a likely improver. Easy winner at Catterick on turf/seasonal debut; still unexposed; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (66/1 -65%) Jahidin |
66/1(-65%) | (9) Jahidin 66/1, Off mark at second attempt when scoring at Newcastle in February and improved again when second under a penalty at Wolverhampton next time. Far too free on handicap debut last time, though, and others have stronger claims. Form dipped sharply on latest AW start; goes into a deeper field on turf debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (8/1 +33%) Chartwell House |
8/1(+33%) | (7) Chartwell House 8/1, Ran well to finish third of 17 in handicap on return at this C&D (good to soft) 16 days ago, certainly looking more straightforward having been gelded over the winter. Solid place claims again from same mark. Good third of 17 in C&D handicap on seasonal debut; big player off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (28/1 -40%) Tiriac |
28/1(-40%) | (6) Tiriac 28/1, Put experience to good use when when decisively taking 9-runner maiden at Doncaster (6f, heavy, 5/1) in November but proved too keen under a change of tactics when down the field at Newbury on return and others make more appeal. May do better still but rain is ideally needed (raced only on slow ground). |

8th (12) (150/1 -20%) Grand Central |
150/1(-20%) | (12) Grand Central 150/1, Essentially looks an awkward sort and arrives here after a string of poor performances, so is easy to oppose racing from out of the handicap. Eyeshields/blinkers back on. Exposed maiden; 3lb out of weights; easily opposed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
1st: 2.5/1 (5) STRIKING STAR 2nd: 2.5/1 (1) YACOWLEF 3rd: 2.5/1 (3) DIVINE LIBRA
Marginal preference is for CHARTWELL HOUSE, who ran an excellent race on his return over C&D last month when staying on for third behind a couple of upwardly-mobile colts. An unchanged mark of 82 still looks feasible and he is preferred to Yacowlef, a solid second over 6f at the Craven meeting here, and Striking Star, who is bred to be much better than this level. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Choisya, Divine Libra and Verdansk.
A typically competitive three-year-old handicap, with the top-weight YACOWLEF fancied to go one the better than when an excellent second over 6f here at the Craven Meeting. Godolphin's regally-bred Striking Star has the pedigree to prove much better than his opening mark and rates as a major threat, with Choisya, Chartwell House and Prospering others to consider.
The shortlist is headed by YACOWLEF and Chartwell House who both performed well here on Craven day. Choisya is third choice.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
