|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2)  (0.83/1 +34%)Adayar |
0.83/1(+34%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Adayar 0.83/1, Derby and King George winner in 2021 who was seen just twice in the autumn, taking a small-field Doncaster event and proving he retains all his ability when second to Bay Bridge in the Champion at Ascot. Sets a lofty standard if ready to go and could be set for another big year. Won the Derby and King George as a 3yo; close second in last year's Champion Stakes. |
|||
2nd (1)  (2.25/1 +25%)Anmaat |
2.25/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Anmaat 2.25/1, Enjoyed a perfect campaign last year, winning the ultra-competitive John Smith's Cup handicap at York, Haydock Group 3 and the Group 2 Prix Dollar at Longchamp. Good record fresh but he'll do well to concede 5 lb to an on-song Adayar. Progressive gelding; 3-3 last term, latest success in Longchamp Group 2; respected. |
|||
3rd (4)  (11/1 +61%)Highland Avenue |
11/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Highland Avenue 11/1, Progressive 3-y-o who won his first 3 starts in 2021. Hasn't really fired since and has a 14-month absence to overcome. Useful on his day but not in the same league as stablemate Adayar. |
|||
4th (6)  (22/1 -83%)Regal Reality |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Regal Reality 22/1, Hasn't enjoyed as much success as one with his talents perhaps should have done and his Winter Hill victory at Windsor last summer was very much a standout effort in 2022. Work to do on return. Four-time winner at this level but he's an 8yo now and this looks a difficult task. |
|||
5th (5)  (8/1 +0%)Migration |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Migration 8/1, Recorded a very smart weight carrying performance when seeing off 21 rivals in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m) on his reappearance. That effort suggests he can be a major player at Group level and he might have a fitness edge on some of these. Defied top weight in Lincoln; 2-2 on heavy; well worth a crack at Group level. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
1st: 1.25/1 (2) ADAYAR 2nd: 3/1 (1) ANMAAT 3rd: 8/1 (5) MIGRATION
Anmaat struck by a head in the Prix Dollar at Longchamp when last seen in October to make it five wins out of his last six starts, which shows his rapid rise in the ranks and he is highly likely to be on the premises here. However, FRANCESCO CLEMENTE just shades the vote, as he was a mightily impressive when scoring by nine lengths on his handicap debut at short odds on the July Course here last summer and is the type his stable do very well with. Therefore, he is fancied to find the improvement needed to strike. Derby hero Adayar is a top-class performer and holds an obvious chance.
ADAYAR looks set for a big year and can make a successful return. Anmaat must concede 5 lb to Charlie Appleby's high-class horse but did nothing but improve last term and has won first time up for the last 2 seasons. The unbeaten Francesco Clemente looks exciting and could make his presence felt.
High-class ADAYAR sets the standard. Progressive Anmaat and interesting Francesco Clemente are feared most.

1st (8)  (7/1 +18%)HMS President |
7/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) HMS President 7/1, 28/1, first run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton when good second of 13 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 27 days ago. Well respected. Mostly highly competitive last term and made a cracking start for new yard four weeks ago. |
|||
2nd (10)  (7.5/1 +17%)Adjuvant |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Adjuvant 7.5/1, Dual 2-y-o winner who benefited from step up to 1½m when striking here in July. Not at best at York when last seen but looks the type to make a better 4yo. Raised his game when upped to 1m4f then 1m6f last summer, but all on good or good to firm. |
|||
2nd (15)  (14/1 +0%)Torcello |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Torcello 14/1, Responded well to blinkers at the end of last season, winning here in October. Not ideally placed on return but more required if he's to defy current mark. Hit form from the front with blinkers on final two runs last term; disappointing on return. |
|||
4th (19)  (28/1 +0%)Geremia |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Geremia 28/1, Unreliable sort. Has gone a long time without a win and, while he performed respectably when third at Newcastle last time, others make more appeal. Down the weights but this is a tough race in which to break his losing sequence. |
|||
5th (18)  (22/1 +56%)Single |
22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Single 22/1, 80/1, 18¾ lengths tenth of 15 to Perfect Alibi in listed race at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Others make more appeal. Usually runs with credit but her strike-rate suggests she is not the percentage call. |
|||
6th (5)  (50/1 -79%)Solent Gateway |
50/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Solent Gateway 50/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Has remained in form since, racing closer to the pace than ideal when seventh at Newcastle last time. Not completely dismissed. Raised his game last term and has already done so over 2m+ on AW this year. |
|||
7th (14)  (12/1 +25%)Legendary Day |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Legendary Day 12/1, Enhanced a reasonable strike rate on the Flat when landing a Ripon handicap last week and merits respect under a penalty. Only once out of the first two in his eight races for new yard, winning four; has penalty. |
|||
8th (16)  (25/1 -25%)First Emperor |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) First Emperor 25/1, Latest win at Kempton in January. 28/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 30 days ago, running on. Likely to give another good account. Has clocked up a fine sequence for new yard over 2m on AW from January onwards. |
|||
9th (11)  (12/1 +33%)Duke Of Verona |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Duke Of Verona 12/1, Capitalised on reduced mark when winning 7-runner handicap at Leicester (11.8f, heavy) 23 days ago. Carries penalty. This looks much tougher. Has 5lb penalty but tends not to win by far and should be suited by step back up in trip. |
|||
10th (2)  (5/1 +55%)Berkshire Rocco |
5/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Berkshire Rocco 5/1, Useful sort who scored at Southwell in January and has shaped as if still in form since, so very much a player. Disappointing when 5-4 at Newcastle latest; perhaps return to turf will spark something. |
|||
11th (3)  (5.5/1 +15%)Cemhaan |
5.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cemhaan 5.5/1, Hit the ground running last spring with a brace of wins. Added to his tally in August and easily excused his final outing of last season on very testing ground. One to consider. This race was one of three wins last year; has had wind surgery; stable in fine form. |
|||
12th (17)  (10/1 +50%)Sarsons Risk |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Sarsons Risk 10/1, Fairly useful form on the Flat and fair form at best over hurdles. Disappointing in Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree last time but more realistic claims back on the level in this company. Something to prove on softer than good; needs to resume his 2022 Flat headway at 1m4f. |
|||
13th (12)  (8/1 -14%)Firstman |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Firstman 8/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Third of 15 in handicap hurdle (10/3) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 62 days ago. Was shaping up well when last seen on the Flat and makes plenty of appeal. Improved from September onwards, on turf initially and later over 1m4f/2m on Dundalk AW. |
|||
14th (6)  (28/1 -40%)Duty Of Care |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Duty Of Care 28/1, Latest win at Kempton in March. 9/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 36 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Likely to give another good account. Has done well over 2m on Kempton AW last three outings; now tongue tied first time. |
|||
15th (4)  (40/1 -122%)Nolton Cross |
40/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nolton Cross 40/1, Likeable type who scored at Wolverhampton but came up short in a minor event at Newcastle last time. Others preferred. Latest start suggests this trip should be fine; turf mark has risen in tandem with AW form. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (8.5/1 +23%)Halic |
8.5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Halic 8.5/1, Progressive sort who scored again at Chelmsford in February and put up a solid showing when second at Lingfield last time. Should give another good account. Lightly raced; nearly won all three handicaps (1m4f, 1m5f and 2m); unraced on turf. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
1st: 11/1 (13) HALIC 2nd: 7/1 (12) FIRSTMAN 3rd: 11/1 (2) BERKSHIRE ROCCO
Cemhaan is rated 9lb higher than when winning this race last year and is of interest after undergoing a wind operation since finishing down the field at Doncaster on his last start, but preference is still for DUTY OF CARE, who has been in fine form on the all-weather. He ran well when second behind Bandinelli at Kempton last month and he goes off only 1lb higher in a first-time tongue-tie, so he could go close at a price. Halic, Roberto Escobarr and Firstman are others to consider.
A tricky big-field handicap in which FIRSTMAN gets the marginal vote ahead of Halic, who arrives in excellent form from the AW. Cemhaan is the pick of the remainder if he's tuned up.
From an in-form stable, CEMHAAN won this race 12 months ago and he looks very good on his day. Duke Of Verona is feared most.

1st (7)  (3.33/1 -11%)Running Lion |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Running Lion 3.33/1, Most progressive Roaring Lion filly who cosily completed her hat-trick in 5-runner conditions event at Kempton (1m) 27 days ago. Holds good form claims with this step up in trip a plus too. Has the best form after three 1m AW wins and should be suited by 1m2f. |
|||
2nd (8)  (7.5/1 -25%)Sumo Sam |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sumo Sam 7.5/1, Nathaniel filly who overcame greenness to make a successful debut in 7f maiden here in October. Has a fair bit more to offer over this longer trip so she shouldn't be underestimated. 12-1 from 22-1, made most in maiden here (7f, good) in October, rallying for narrow win. |
|||
3rd (10)  (3.33/1 +52%)Trust The Stars |
3.33/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Trust The Stars 3.33/1, 9/1, looked a good prospect when making a winning start in 13-runner novice here (1m) in September. This Sea The Stars filly has plenty more to offer. Considered. 9-1, always close up to win novice here (1m, good) last September, very green in front. |
|||
4th (2)  (22/1 +12%)Crackovia |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Crackovia 22/1, Fairly useful juvenile who scored twice around 1m last summer. Signed off with good fourth of 16 at Longchamp (8f, soft) but this is a tough ask on her seasonal return. Highly likely to stay beyond 1m; among the best form; others should bring more potential. |
|||
5th (6)  (2.75/1 +21%)Queen Of Fairies |
2.75/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Queen Of Fairies 2.75/1, Cracksman filly who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in style of an exciting prospect at Southwell in December, taking a while to get the hang of things but able to draw clear for only hand riding. Most interesting prospect. Green, went on over 1f out for clearcut win in novice at Southwell (1m, AW) in December. |
|||
6th (3)  (66/1 +34%)Fantizzy |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fantizzy 66/1, Progressive Cityscape filly who resumed with a good second of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 32 days ago. Should have more to offer but this demands major improvement. Best days should still be ahead of her but this race demands a great leap forward. |
|||
7th (9)  (12/1 -20%)Tarjamah |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tarjamah 12/1, 9/4, showed good professionalism to make a winning start in 8.5f Wolverhampton novice in December. This Dubawi filly is in excellent hands so can't be discounted now stepping up in distance. Won novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in December by a head; could be a big improver. |
|||
8th (4)  (7.5/1 -25%)Floating Spirit |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Floating Spirit 7.5/1, Promising daughter of Charm Spirit who followed Kempton 7f novice win in January with ready success in 1m Lingfield novice following month. No forlorn hope with further progress on the cards over this longer trip. Won AW novice events over 7f and 1m; has scope for further progress, including at 1m2f. |
|||
9th (5)  (16/1 -33%)Joyful Act |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Joyful Act 16/1, Frankel filly who built on debut promise when landing 7-runner maiden at Newcastle (10.2f) 24 days ago. Has more to offer but this is no easy ask. Fair form in AW maidens at about 1m2f, winning in tidy style from the front at Newcastle. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
1st: 3/1 (7) RUNNING LION 2nd: 3.5/1 (6) QUEEN OF FAIRIES 3rd: 7/1 (10) TRUST THE STARS
FLOATING SPIRIT is unbeaten in two starts to date, the latest of those victories coming at Lingfield when scoring by three lengths. The daughter of Charm Spirit could have any amount of improvement in the locker on only her third start and, with the step up in trip possibly a positive move, she could prove the one to beat. The main danger comes in the shape of Queen Of Fairies, who got off the mark at the first time of asking when an easy winner at Southwell over a mile and has to be considered, along with Trust The Stars.
QUEEN OF FAIRIES looked a filly to follow when going in most impressively on her debut at Southwell before Christmas and Charlie Appleby's daughter of Cracksman is fancied to follow up at the chief expense of Running Lion, who has experience on her side and is greatly feared in her bid for a four-timer. A clutch of others also boast considerable potential, not least Trust The Stars and Tarjamah, and they both warrant lots of respect too in a fascinating Pretty Polly.
Running Lion may offer most resistance to the much less experienced SUMO SAM who galloped on so resolutely in her 7f maiden here.

1st (9)  (2.5/1 +38%)Via Sistina |
2.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Via Sistina 2.5/1, Smart mare who ended light 2022 campaign with victory in 11-runner Prix Fille de l'Air at Toulouse (10.4f, good, 23/10) in November. Asked a bigger question on return here but can't be discounted with yard in flying form. Lightly raced; improved form in Group 3 races last autumn for new yard; possibilities. |
|||
2nd (2)  (8/1 +20%)Al Husn |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Al Husn 8/1, Smart filly who won all 3 starts last season, having something in hand when taking 13-runner handicap at this course (10f, good) in October. In deeper waters now but it's likely we haven't seen the best of her yet. Has a record of 2-3 at Newmarket and 4-6 overall; open to further progress; interesting. |
|||
3rd (3)  (8.5/1 -13%)Astral Beau |
8.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Astral Beau 8.5/1, Very progressive handicapper during second part of 2022, winning 3 times over 7f, including on final start at this course in October. Took her form up another notch when decisive winner of Doncaster listed race (8f, heavy) on return but faces different conditions here. 3-3 on Newmarket tracks but those wins came at 7f; something to prove over 1m1f. |
|||
4th (5)  (4/1 -14%)Life In Motion |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Life In Motion 4/1, Smart filly. Won 3 of her 5 starts last season and found further improvement when taking 9-runner listed race at Longchamp (9f, good to soft) on return last month, holding on gamely. Upped in grade now but must enter calculations. Productive filly; 2-2 over 1m1f and 5-8 overall; French trainer won this in 2014 and 2016. |
|||
5th (6)  (3/1 +14%)Prosperous Voyage |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Prosperous Voyage 3/1, Posted career best on return last term when narrow second in 1000 Guineas and got back on the up when landing the Falmouth Stakes (8f) in July. This longer trip promises to suit and she's a big player. Second in last year's 1,000 Guineas and won the Falmouth two starts later; leading claims. |
|||
6th (1)  (6.5/1 -8%)With The Moonlight |
6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) With The Moonlight 6.5/1, Smart filly. Won brace of Group 2 events at Meydan earlier this year before creditable second to In Italian in Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland (8.5f, firm) last month. Another big run anticipated. Globetrotting filly; second in US Grade 1 last time; successful on this card last year. |
|||
7th (7)  (80/1 -100%)Random Harvest |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Random Harvest 80/1, Useful mare who produced a career best when winning 8-runner Premio Elena E Sergio Cumani at Milan (8f, soft) in October. Overall form leaves her with something to find, though. Group 3 winner at San Siro on last appearance; faces a stiffer task back on home soil. |
|||
8th (4)  (22/1 +0%)Hidden Dimples |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hidden Dimples 22/1, Useful filly who made solid return when third of 9 to Life In Motion in listed race at Longchamp (9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Entitled to build on that but needs significant improvement to play a part here. Held by stablemate Life In Motion on reappearance form and may need a return to further. |
|||
9th (8)  (40/1 -60%)Shaara |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shaara 40/1, Winner of 4 of her 6 starts but seemingly found wanting when stepped up to Group company here last autumn. In fine hands, though, and further improvement can't be ruled out this term. Came up short in Group 3 here when last seen, seemingly exposing her limitations. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
My prediction for the horses that will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd would be: 1st - 3.5/1 (6) PROSPEROUS VOYAGE 2nd - 6/1 (1) WITH THE MOONLIGHT 3rd - 9/1 (2) AL HUSN 3.5/1 (6) PROSPEROUS VOYAGE has a strong record, including a second in last year's 1000 Guineas and a win in the Falmouth Stakes. With a longer trip promised to suit, she could be a top contender. 6/1 (1) WITH THE MOONLIGHT has also shown impressive form, winning two Group 2 events at Meydan and finishing second in a Grade 1 race in the US. 9/1 (2) AL HUSN is an interesting prospect, having won all three starts last season and showing potential for further progress.
PROSPEROUS VOYAGE was highly tried last season and managed to make her mark at the highest level when taking the Falmouth in July. She was only denied by a neck in the 1000 Guineas on her return to action a year ago and the daughter of Zoffany is the one to beat. With The Moonlight is officially rated 1lb superior to the selection but could be vulnerable under a 3lb penalty for her Group 2 victories in Dubai earlier in the year. Life In Motion is an interesting raider from France, while there may be further progression to come from Al Husn.
Preference is for PROSPEROUS VOYAGE, who clearly goes well fresh (narrowly foiled in 1000 Guineas on return last year) and should appreciate this slightly longer trip. With The Moonlight arrives at the top of her game and looks sure to make a bold bid to concede weight all round, whilst chief French raider Life In Motion also warrants plenty of respect.
Based on her peak Group 1 performances, PROSPEROUS VOYAGE has the best chance on these terms. Life In Motion is second choice.

1st (10)  (9/1 +25%)Mawj |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mawj 9/1, Smart juvenile last season, beating Lezoo to win Duchess of Cambridge and 1½ lengths third to that rival in Cheveley Park. Got first run when just holding on from Dream of Love on 7f Meydan return but right back to best when slamming Fairy Cross over 1m there next time. 2-2 at Meydan this year, impressively beating Fairy Cross on latest occasion; in the mix. |
|||
2nd (20)  (1.5/1 +14%)Tahiyra |
1.5/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (20) Tahiyra 1.5/1, Half-sister to the high-class Tarnawa and could be equally talented herself judged on her 2¼-length defeat of Meditate in the Moyglare at the Curragh on just her second start. Hugely exciting prospect who can make it 3-3. Hugely exciting filly who was impressive in both 2yo starts (Curragh Group 1 latest). |
|||
3rd (9)  (33/1 +34%)Matilda Picotte |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Matilda Picotte 33/1, Useful filly who was placed in the Lowther at York before winning a 6f course listed last October. Showed she's trained on well when 2½ lengths second to Never Ending Story in 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (7f, heavy) on reappearance 35 days ago. Likely vulnerable here, though. Useful and consistent but has much more on her plate today, upped further in trip. |
|||
4th (1)  (25/1 +50%)Caernarfon |
25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Caernarfon 25/1, Big improver last autumn, bagging a C&D listed race (soft) in October. Yard going well but she'll need to advance her form considerably again to play a prominent role here. Blossomed in the autumn of her 2yo campaign, culminating in soft-ground Listed win here. |
|||
5th (2)  (200/1 -100%)Dance In The Grass |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dance In The Grass 200/1, Looked good when winning first 2 starts (both 7f Sandown, latter a listed) but rather disappointing when stepped up to Group 2 level in 2 subsequent outings. Outsider back from 7 months off. Group 2 defeats don't necessarily leave her limitations fully exposed but this is harder. |
|||
6th (11)  (5/1 +33%)Meditate |
5/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Meditate 5/1, Second to Tahiyra in the Moyglare and Lezoo in the Cheveley Park but gained a Group 1 success of her own in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf in November, proving well suited by the step up to 1m. Much respected for stable with outstanding record in this. Had an excellent 2yo campaign; trainer has a great record in this race; strong credentials. |
|||
7th (13)  (125/1 -56%)Olivia Maralda |
125/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Olivia Maralda 125/1, Useful at up to 7f last year for Michael O'Callaghan. Possible she can go on to better things for new yard but a big step forward will be required for her to get very competitive here. Second to Meditate on best 2yo effort but isn't sure to stay 1m; new stable. |
|||
8th (7)  (12/1 +14%)Lezoo |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lezoo 12/1, Only defeat at 2 came when edged out by Mawj in the Duchess of Cambridge at the July meeting, winning the Group 1 Cheveley Park over 6f here on final start by ¾ length from Meditate (Mawj another ¾ length back in third). Major stamina doubts now stepping up to 1m, though. Smart filly last year (won Cheveley Park Stakes) but looks a doubtful stayer upped to 1m. |
|||
9th (16)  (20/1 +50%)Queen Me |
20/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Queen Me 20/1, Placed in Group 2 Lowther at York and Group 3 Firth of Clyde at Ayr after making a winning debut at Haydock last summer (all 6f, good). Potential for better again at 3 but she's no certainty to stay this 1m trip on breeding. Lowther runner-up; has mixed messages in her pedigree with regards to this new trip. |
|||
10th (4)  (66/1 +0%)Embrace |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Embrace 66/1, Left debut form behind when comfortably off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f) in November. Progressed again when 4¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Remarquee in Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, heavy) on reappearance 15 days ago, nearest finish. More to come now stepping up to 1m. Ran well in the Fred Darling; goes into even deeper waters but she's progressing nicely. |
|||
11th (8)  (11/1 -10%)Mammas Girl |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mammas Girl 11/1, 7f course novice winner on debut last autumn and much improved when returning to make it 2-2 in the 15-runner Nell Gwyn back here last month, beating Fairy Cross by 2¾ lengths, although she may have been helped by getting cover from the headwind. Likely to stay 1m. Looked smart in the Nell Gwyn, taking record to 2-2 (both wins here); major contender. |
|||
12th (3)  (8.5/1 -21%)Dream Of Love |
8.5/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dream Of Love 8.5/1, Won a 7f course maiden on debut last October and third to Caernarfon in a C&D listed 3 weeks later. Improved again when short-headed by Mawj in a 7f Meydan conditions event in January, making eye-catching late headway from too far back. Interesting runner. Rocketed home and nearly collared Mawj at Meydan in January; more to come; interesting. |
|||
13th (18)  (50/1 -100%)Stenton Glider |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Stenton Glider 50/1, Chester novice winner on debut and left that form well behind when pushing Remarquee close in the Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, heavy) on her reappearance. Plenty to like about that performance and further progress likely after just 2 starts. Neck second to Remarquee in the Fred Darling on second start; open to further progress. |
|||
14th (19)  (200/1 -100%)Sweet Harmony |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Sweet Harmony 200/1, Fourth in the Rockfel here on her final 2yo start and reappeared with a creditable 6½ lengths seventh of 15 to Mammas Girl in Nell Gwyn 18 days ago. Well short of the required standard here, though. Has plenty to find on 6f/7f form and doesn't appear to be crying out for 1m. |
|||
15th (17)  (8.5/1 -31%)Remarquee |
8.5/1(-31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Remarquee 8.5/1, Looked very useful when making a winning debut at Salisbury last September and more than confirmed those impressions when getting on top late on to edge out Stenton Glider in the Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, heavy), despite still showing signs of greenness. Good prospect. Still green when winning the Fred Darling; now 2-2 and has a very promising profile. |
|||
16th (6)  (50/1 +0%)Karsavina |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Karsavina 50/1, Ulysses filly who landed a 7f course novice on debut last autumn and reappeared with a promising 4¼ lengths fourth of 15 to Mammas Girl in Nell Gwyn over that same C&D. 1m will suit and definitely capable of better again. Won on sole 2yo start, then ran well back here in the Nell Gwyn; still very unexposed. |
|||
17th (12)  (80/1 -100%)Naomi Lapaglia |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Naomi Lapaglia 80/1, Made a winning start to her career in a 1m Kempton novice in November. Potentially useful but she's very much pitched in at the deep end on reappearance. Has stacks to find on her 2yo win at Kempton but is open to any amount of progress. |
|||
18th (14)  (66/1 -32%)Polly Pott |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Polly Pott 66/1, Got on a real roll for Harry Dunlop last summer, taking the big jump from nurseries to Group company in her stride when springing a 40/1 surprise in May Hill at Doncaster. Not in quite the same form when 7 lengths fourth in Fillies' Mile over C&D final start. Returns for new trainer Ben Pauling. Big improver last term for Harry Dunlop; won the May Hill; this is a harder task. |
|||
19th (5)  (33/1 +0%)Fairy Cross |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fairy Cross 33/1, Quickly developed into a useful performer at 2 yrs, landing the Prestige at Goodwood on her final outing. Creditable 2¾ lengths second of 15 to Mammas Girl in Nell Gwyn over 7f here 18 days ago but Buick sides with Dream of Love now. Couldn't cope with Mammas Girl's finishing kick in the Nell Gwyn here; more is needed. |
|||
20th (15)  (66/1 -32%)Powerdress |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Powerdress 66/1, Made winning debut in 5f maiden at the 2022 Craven meeting. Not seen again until finishing third in a 7f conditions race at this year's Craven meeting. Capable of better but this a very big ask. Fairly useful form at the last two Craven meetings here, her only two runs; unexposed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
1st: 1.75/1 (20) TAHIYRA, 2nd: 7.5/1 (11) MEDITATE, 3rd: 12/1 (10) MAWJ
Tahiyra sets the standard based on her impressive defeat of Meditate in the Moyglare at the Curragh last September and that filly is her main market rival here. That said, it would be no surprise if she proved to be at her best later in the year and marginal preference is for MAMMAS GIRL. Richard Hannon's filly created a big impression when taking the Nell Gwyn over 7f here last month and the way she finished that day suggests that the extra distance should not be a problem. Remarquee also won her trial well, as the final winning margin of a neck is not an accurate reflection of her superiority on that occasion. Others to note are Dream Of Love, Lezoo and Powerdress.
TAHIYRA looked very good when comfortably accounting for Meditate in the Moyglare and is selected to prove too strong for her old rival again, although Aidan O'Brien's filly was well suited by the step up to 1m in the Breeders' Cup and may get a bit closer this time. The fact Remarquee still looked far from the finished article in the Fred Darling raises a few doubts about how she'll handle the Dip but she must be highly talented and is third choice ahead of Dream of Love.
Exciting prospect TAHIYRA (nap), the champion European 2yo filly last season, gets the strong vote. Meditate is feared most.

1st (5)  (0.73/1 +61%)On Point |
0.73/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) On Point 0.73/1, Foaled April 10. Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 9.5f winner Willow Cove and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Fairy Cross. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner). Highly respected on debut. Blue Point half-brother to 2 winners; first 2yo runner in 2023 for the yard; lots to like. |
|||
2nd (4)  (1.75/1 +56%)Mashadi |
1.75/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mashadi 1.75/1, Foaled March 27. 265,000 gns yearling, Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Joy Choi and Italian 6f/7f winner Lee Way. Dam unraced half-sister to smart sprinter Priceless. Connections won this corresponding event 12 months ago. 265,000gns half-brother to 2 winning sprinters; yard have fine recent record in this race. |
|||
3rd (8)  (8/1 +68%)White Christmas |
8/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) White Christmas 8/1, Foaled April 8. €50,000 yearling, 40,000 gns 2-y-o, Showcasing colt. Dam unraced, sister to very smart winner up to 6f Strath Burn. 40,000gns 2yo; dam an unraced sister to Group 3 winner; others have stronger paper claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary alone, as it only provides limited information about the horses' past performance and pedigree. However, some potential contenders based on the information provided could be 11/1 (1) JASOUR, 1.8/1 (2) KYLIAN, and 4/1 (4) MASHADI, as they all have appealing pedigrees and/or previous winners in their family. Therefore, the predicted order of finish for the race is: 1. 11/1 (1) JASOUR 2. 1.8/1 (2) KYLIAN 3. 4/1 (4) MASHADI
The market will be a key guide but a chance can be taken with the 265,000gns purchase MASHADI, who is likely to be ready to go first time out given his connections. On Point is another to consider being a half-brother to a Group 3-winning juvenile last year in Fairy Cross. Jasour cost 85,000 pounds as a yearling and is from the family of Twilight Son, while Kylian and Rising Force are others to note.
This is likely to go to a newcomer and ON POINT is selected to make a winning debut for the Appleby/Buick combination who have made a flying start to the 2023 turf season. Richard Hannon landed this corresponding event 12 months ago and his Mashadi is fancied to be in the mix representing the same connections. Kylian and South Shore are another couple to consider.
A fascinating race in which ON POINT is taken to prove too strong for Kylian and Jasour. The betting should be revealing.

1st (9)  (5/1 +44%)Saxon King |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Saxon King 5/1, Put his experience to good use to open his account at the fourth attempt at Haydock (1m, heavy) last year, making running and proving game. Can give another good account now going handicapping after 6 months off. | |||
2nd (4)  (12/1 +40%)Dark Thirty |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dark Thirty 12/1, Didn't progress as hoped last year having made a winning debut in a Newbury maiden (6f, good) in May. After 6 months off, ran as well as could be expected in listed race at Newcastle last month, but failed to repeat that effort back at Newbury next time. | |||
3rd (3)  (6.5/1 +28%)Metal Merchant |
6.5/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Metal Merchant 6.5/1, Novice/nursery winner who found Zetland Stakes company beyond him at this course (1m2f, good) in October. After 5 months off, finished last of 7 in minor event at Kempton (1m) in March, so he has work to do now back in a handicap. | |||
4th (10)  (10/1 +9%)Gareeb |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Gareeb 10/1, Upped in trip for all-weather/handicap debut after 6 months off, gained her first success in 6-runner contest at Southwell (8.1f) 23 days ago. Better placed than most there but she appeals as the type who could go on improving this year. | |||
5th (6)  (2.12/1 +47%)Kadovar |
2.12/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kadovar 2.12/1, Has left his reappearance effort behind in his 2 subsequent starts, improving once more when opening account in minor event at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) 12 days ago. Is going the right way and can score again back in handicap company. | |||
6th (1)  (4/1 +0%)Hectic |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hectic 4/1, Didn't manage to go on after a winning debut last year but, after 8 months off, got back on the up when second on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, heavy) 16 days ago. Showed plenty of speed last time, so task is now to build on that effort upped in trip. | |||
7th (2)  (6/1 +8%)Legend Of Leros |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Legend Of Leros 6/1, Stepped up on his debut effort in no uncertain terms when landing 13-runner maiden at Doncaster (7f, heavy) in October. Similar form when third in minor event at Kempton (1m) on return last month and could have more to offer now handicapping. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Based on the summary, 4/1 (6) KADOVAR seems to be the strongest contender as he has been improving and won his most recent race. 6.5/1 (8) GULMARG and 14/1 (7) JUST BRING IT also have potential as they have been in good form and have won handicaps before. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be: 1. 4/1 (6) KADOVAR 2. 6.5/1 (8) GULMARG 3. 14/1 (7) JUST BRING IT
A decent two-year-old last year, who contested some valuable contests, HECTIC returned with a solid runner-up effort at Newbury last month. The step up to a mile can see him go one better on this occasion, with easy Epsom scorer Kadovar and recent C&D third Gulmarg looking best placed to chase him home. Legend Of Leros and Saxon King are not without chances either.
An open-looking contest, with preference for KADOVAR who continued his improvement this year when getting off the mark in good style at Epsom 12 days ago. He is taken to follow up back in handicap company, though Gulmarg isn't taken lightly after a good third over C&D last month. Legend of Leros is another to consider on his handicap debut.
Defence Of Fort brings untapped potential but HECTIC ran with some promise at Newbury and can improve for today's extra furlong.

1st (3)  (4/1 +20%)Royal Rhyme |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Royal Rhyme 4/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Thirsk on sole start at 2 yrs. Hasn't kicked on quite as well as anticipated this term, but the form of his recent third at Haydock (8f, good to firm) entitles him to be in the mix up in trip. Creditable third of nine in handicap at Haydock (1m) and this extra 2f will probably suit. |
|||
2nd (5)  (2.25/1 +50%)Rathgar |
2.25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rathgar 2.25/1, Progressed from run to run at 2 yrs, getting off the mark at the third attempt in novice at Goodwood 7 months ago. Remains open to improvement and no surprise to see him figure on handicap debut. Proved his stamina already as 2yo, on good to soft; very much the type to build on that. |
|||
3rd (1)  (14/1 -75%)High Honour |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) High Honour 14/1, Expensive purchase who got off the mark at the second attempt in a Goodwood maiden (1m, good to soft) last year. Well held on handicap debut over C&D on return and still looks bit high in weights. Tongue strap added. Below form in recent C&D handicap (good to soft; made most); now also has his tongue tied. |
|||
4th (2)  (2.75/1 +31%)Lion Of War |
2.75/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lion Of War 2.75/1, Ready winner of a 7f Leicester maiden on debut and followed up in impressive fashion at Newcastle in June. Creditable effort when third of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft) 29 days ago on return and looks ready for this step up in trip, so is shortlisted. 3rd in handicaps over 7f/1m; needs improvement but it's easy to think that 1m2f will help. |
|||
5th (4)  (6.5/1 -44%)Cool Party |
6.5/1(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cool Party 6.5/1, Landed short odds in 4-runner maiden at Epsom on his second start at 2 yrs before following up in comfortable fashion at Wolverhampton next time. Off since October but he has all the makings of a useful middle-distance prospect and he's highly respected on handicap bow. Late foal; useful pedigree for 1m2f+; won twice as 2yo but can still come into his own. |
|||
6th (6)  (6/1 +33%)My Lion |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) My Lion 6/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 10-runner novice event at Windsor on the second of 2 starts in her juvenile year. Progressed further when runner-up in similar race at Kempton last month, quickening up well before being collared late. Likely to improve further now handicapping. Pipped over 1m2f on return; makes handicap debut and should still be capable of better. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
1st: 9/1 (6) MY LION 2nd: 4.5/1 (4) COOL PARTY 3rd: 4.5/1 (5) RATHGAR
RATHGAR ended last season with a comfortable success at Goodwood and he looks just the type to improve over further, with a mark of 85 looking manageable on his handicap debut. Cool Party arrives in search of a hat-trick, so must enter calculations, along with Mindset, who has plenty of potential going up in trip. Narrowly denied on his return at Kempton last month, My Lion can also have a say in proceedings.
A typically hot event for the track, but COOL PARTY stands out as being particularly interesting, having plenty in hand when scoring at Wolverhampton on his final start last term and seeming certain to appreciate the step up in trip. Lion of War ran well at Musselburgh last time and is another who should prove better-suited by middle distances, with Royal Rhyme getting slight preference of the remainder.
The biggest improver might be COOL PARTY appearing over this trip for the first time. Group 2 entry Rathgar is second on the list.

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.
