1st (4)  (10/3 +63%)Involvement |
10/3(+63%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Involvement 10/3, Debut winner at Redcar last September and useful form in defeat since, notably second of 12 in Silver Bowl at Haydock (1m, good to soft) pulling well clear of the rest. Sound effort in the Britannia since and he looks ready for this trip. Creditable seventh of 29 at Royal Ascot (1m); best form on soft; bred to be suited by 1m2f. |
|||
2nd (1)  (15/2 -150%)Royal Power |
15/2(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Royal Power 15/2, Well-bred colt who left debut form behind when winning 10-runner maiden at Kempton (8f) in November. Improved again when an excellent third pitched into listed company at Goodwood in May (11.2f) and while this opening mark is stiff on the face of it, his limit hasn't been reached. Close 3rd of 7 in Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f, good) despite having to wait for room. |
|||
3rd (7)  (12/1 +25%)Mr Monaco |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mr Monaco 12/1, Won second of 3 starts in novice company at up to 7f at 2 yrs. Gelded after and definite encouragement to glean from his close-up fourth on return/handicap debut at Goodwood (1m) and he saw out 9f well when runner-up at Sandown. Close this term over 1m and 1m1f; needs extra but 1m2f may well help. |
|||
4th (9)  (8/1 +50%)Sun God |
8/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sun God 8/1, Signs of temperament over the winter but put it all together to land a Lingfield nursery just before Christmas. 3 next-time-out winners emerged from that race, and he showed appreciably better form in defeat 4 months on when runner-up om the Rowley (10f) in May. Gelded since and worth considering. Close second in handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good) nearly ten weeks ago; gelded since. |
|||
5th (6)  (100/1 -1011%)Travolta |
100/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Travolta 100/1, Didn't show a great deal in a trio of 7f outings at 2 ys but much improved fitted with blinkers, supplementing his AW win on handicap debut at Sandown last month. Raised 9 lb but highly likely that he has more to offer. Came from off pace at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and strode clear in good style; up 9lb. |
|||
6th (2)  (100/1 -1900%)Chantilly |
100/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chantilly 100/1, Stepped up on his juvenile form when making a successful handicap debut/reappearance over 1¼m at Leopardstown (heavy) in April. Improved again when third to King's Gambit in the ultra-competitive London Gold Cup at Newbury but he didn't look an easy ride at Ascot last time. Respectable 8th trying 1m4f at Royal Ascot (good to firm) when persistently hanging right. |
|||
7th (8)  (100/1 -300%)Break The Bank |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Break The Bank 100/1, Stepped up on his 2-y-o form when justifying strong market support on return (also gelded) on handicap debut at Kempton in March. A couple of lesser efforts followed but ran well in a first-time visor when fourth of 7 at Sandown (Mr Monaco second). Will need to settle better. Close behind Mr Monaco when front-running fourth of seven at Sandown (1m1f, good to firm). |
|||
8th (5)  (100/1 -1718%)Rebaatt |
100/1(-1718%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rebaatt 100/1, Took form to a new level when an easy winner on second handicap start at Chester in June. Held up in a steadily-run race when following up over C&D 3 weeks ago so that masked his superiority. Up 8 lb but remains capable of better. Up another 8lb, which demands plenty more again, but may have more to give; hat-trick bid. |
|||
9th (3)  (66/1 -725%)Endless Victory |
66/1(-725%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Endless Victory 66/1, Stormed clear to land a Wolverhampton novice in February and followed up in more workmanlike style under a penalty on the Rowley 2 months later. Stumbled early and ran no sort of race in listed company last time. Best to draw a line through that run and he's certainly in the right hands. 11-10 for Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f, good) ten weeks ago but tailed off; gelded since. |
|||
10th (10)  (40/1 -60%)Candle Of Dubai |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Candle Of Dubai 40/1, Promising start to career when runner-up first 2 starts and responded well to an attacking ride when opening her account in a Chelmsford novice (1¼m) last month. Proved too keen upped in trip here a fortnight ago. Move up to 1m4f for handicap debut did not work and major overall improvement is needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
ROYAL POWER ran well for third in a Listed race at Goodwood on his reappearance and the unexposed Godolphin colt looks capable of going well on his handicap debut. Stable companion Endless Victory is not out of this either, while Chantilly drops back down in distance after a good effort at Royal Ascot and can figure. The progressive pair Rebaatt and Travolta have a hike in the ratings to contend with, but Candle Of Dubai is worth a second glance.
A cracking 3-y-o handicap with SUN GOD just about the most appealing proposition at the forecast prices. His 2-y-o win turned out to be strong form, and with a sound reappearance under his belt, he looks the type to benefit from a subsequent gelding operation. Travolta and Rebaatt are going the right way too, while Royal Power has the scope to rate higher.
Chantilly and INVOLVEMENT have proved themselves on testing ground. Royal Power is second choice.

1st (1)  (12/1 +0%)Arabian Dusk |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Arabian Dusk 12/1, 525,000 gns breeze-up buy who has made a good start, placed in 6.5f Doncaster maiden and 6f C&D listed race (neck behind Tales of The Heart). Can progress further. 525,000gns breeze-up buy; clear promise in both starts, third in C&D Listed event latest. |
|||
2nd (9)  (4/1 +0%)Mountain Breeze |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mountain Breeze 4/1, Looked a good prospect when winning first 2 starts here on the other track, coming clear with plenty in hand over 6f second occasion. Didn't improve again as expected when just fourth behind Heavens Gate in the Albany but too soon to say she hasn't got a bigger performance in her. Almost 3l behind Heavens Gate in the Albany but she's bred to rate higher still. |
|||
3rd (5)  (15/8 +53%)Heavens Gate |
15/8(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Heavens Gate 15/8, Readily off the mark in 6f Curragh maiden in May and took another big step forward when third to impressive stablemate Fairy Godmother in the Albany. Should progress further and sets a good standard. Improving; did well to finish third in the Albany, having helped to force strong pace. |
|||
4th (2)  (25/1 -150%)Bountiful |
25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bountiful 25/1, 95,000 gns Zoustar filly out of a May Hill winner. Off the mark in 9-runner 5f maiden at Thirsk in May and took another step forward when making all in valuable 6f Carlisle novice. Will go on improving and well worth a crack at this level. Made all at Thirsk and Carlisle; now goes into deeper waters but she's improving. |
|||
5th (7)  (20/1 -167%)Maw Lam |
20/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Maw Lam 20/1, Created a very favourable impression when landing 5f Thirsk maiden on debut and improved form in defeat since up in class, a bit better than the result as well after meeting trouble when third in the Queen Mary. Can do better again and not to be underestimated up in trip here. Progressive form; strong-finishing third in the Queen Mary most recently; possibilities. |
|||
6th (10)  (80/1 -567%)Tales Of The Heart |
80/1(-567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Tales Of The Heart 80/1, 400,000 gns yearling who made a winning start to her career over 6f at Kempton last month and improved when second in C&D listed contest a fortnight ago, not quicken only late on. Can do better again. Ran well in C&D Listed race last time; sister to a 2yo Group 2 winner; not ruled out. |
|||
7th (8)  (7/1 -40%)Mighty Eriu |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mighty Eriu 7/1, From the family of smart 2-y-o 5f/5.5f winner Signora Cabello and has made a very promising start, runner-up in 6f Curragh novice and then the Queen Mary, coming out top on her side of the track and a shade better than the result as well. Return to 6f will suit and will go on improving. Solid second in both outings, latest in the Queen Mary; looks a winner waiting to happen. |
|||
8th (6)  (66/1 -267%)Liberalised |
66/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Liberalised 66/1, Bred for speed and knew her job when comfortably landing a thin 6f fillies' maiden at Hamilton. More to come. Withdrawn after becoming fractious in stall prior to latest intended start in Albany Stakes, Jun 21. Won debut at Hamilton; withdrawn from the Albany (upset in stalls; 25-1) later in June. |
|||
9th (4)  (40/1 -100%)Fiery Lucy |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fiery Lucy 40/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 17-runner 6f maiden at Fairyhouse last month, again showing good speed. Will go on improving. Won comfortably at Fairyhouse last time; may improve further; yard also runs Mighty Eriu. |
|||
10th (11)  (50/1 -25%)Teej A |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Teej A 50/1, Progressive as she won 6f Chester maiden and the Woodcote at Epsom but struggled on firmer ground when behind a couple of these in C&D listed contest a fortnight ago. Plenty to find. Progress came to an abrupt half over C&D two weeks ago; looks out of her depth. |
|||
11th (3)  (80/1 -220%)Enchanting Empress |
80/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Enchanting Empress 80/1, Won her first 3 starts, getting hat-trick up in the National Stakes at Sandown. Struggled on firmer ground in the Queen Mary (ridden more prominently in a much larger field than before) and steps up in trip now. Came up well short in the Queen Mary, losing her unbeaten record; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
HEAVENS GATE arrives on the back of a solid third in the Albany at Royal Ascot, where she finished comfortably ahead of the reopposing Mountain Breeze and looks set to run a big race. Mighty Eriu and Maw Lam filled the places in the Queen Mary over 5f at Ascot and both should see out this extra distance, but Arabian Dusk may prove a bigger threat on her third in a Listed race over C&D.
HEAVENS GATE sets the standard on her third to stablemate Fairy Godmother in the Albany and with more improvement to come, she could be hard to beat. Queen Mary second and third Mighty Eriu and Maw Lam are key players, while Tales of the Heart and Arabian Dusk filled the same positions in a listed race here recently and should have more to offer.
Queen Mary strong-finishers MIGHTY ERIU and Maw Lam are likely to show further progress over this extra furlong.

1st (5)  (85/40 +53%)Fairbanks |
85/40(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fairbanks 85/40, Most progressive equipped with a visor, registering a clear-cut success from the front at Newcastle (12.5f) in May. Performed well both starts in defeat subsequently, latterly when sixth of 19 in Duke of Edinburgh Stakes and he's worth a crack at this longer trip. Blinkers replace visor. Creditable 6th at Royal Ascot (1m4f) with no excuses; swaps visor for blinkers. |
|||
2nd (9)  (33/1 -106%)Oneforthegutter |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Oneforthegutter 33/1, Showed an excellent attitude to resume winning ways in 10-runner handicap at Southwell (1½m) on final outing of 2023. Creditable fifth of 13 at York (1½m, good) back from 5 months off at York (11.8f) in May and underfoot conditions in his favour here back up in trip. Absent 109 days before his respectable 5th at York in May latest; not the most consistent. |
|||
3rd (3)  (25/1 -257%)Bague D'or |
25/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bague D'or 25/1, Likeable sort (C&D winner) who enhanced good record fresh when successful over this trip on the Rowley Mile course in May. Seemed unsuited by drop in trip when midfield in Duke of Edinburgh (12f) at Ascot 3 weeks ago and better showing anticipated back at this track/trip. Very solid in handicaps, particularly on sound surface, prior to 1m4f Royal Ascot no-show. |
|||
4th (8)  (66/1 -230%)Knightswood |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Knightswood 66/1, Successful on 2 of his 5 starts in 2023 and placed 3 times this year, including when going down an unlucky loser at Haydock (11.8f) on penultimate start. Below that level when fourth of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (12f) since and bounce back called for. Modest show latest; stable does well in this race and today's move up in trip makes appeal. |
|||
5th (12)  (100/1 -150%)Artisan Dancer |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Artisan Dancer 100/1, 4-y-o who had a very productive spell on all-weather, adding to his tally at Wolverhampton (14f) in February. Largely creditable efforts in defeat have followed and he faced a stiff task from out of the weights in last month's Northumberland Plate. 3rd of 15 at Thirsk (1m6f, good to soft); 66-1, no show in Northumberland Plate up to Cl2. |
|||
6th (7)  (100/1 -1900%)Tides Of War |
100/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tides Of War 100/1, Dual scorer earlier in his career in France who belatedly cashed in off his sliding mark in a refitted hood at Goodwood (14f) in May, edging ahead dying strides. Back up 4 lb in what rates a stronger contest though, and others appeal more. Hood back when he won by a short head over this trip at Goodwood (good) seven weeks ago. |
|||
7th (2)  (100/1 -2122%)Fox Journey |
100/1(-2122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fox Journey 100/1, Roaring Lion colt who was well ridden when running out a comfortable winner from the front on the Rowley Mile course (12f) on return in May. Couldn't replicate that performance from inflated mark in Copper Horse handicap at Ascot since but no surprise to see a better showing. Not proven on worse than good; easily made all at Newmarket (1m4f); lesser run at R Ascot. |
|||
8th (6)  (66/1 -164%)Solent Gateway |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Solent Gateway 66/1, Bounced back to form when chasing home a well-treated sort at Haydock (16.2f) in May but not for the first time this season proved disappointing when down the field in Northumberland Plate last month. Yard look to hold stronger claims with Zoffee. Back down the weights this term; second at Haydock (2m, soft) on penultimate start. |
|||
9th (1)  (100/1 -1150%)Beamish |
100/1(-1150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Beamish 100/1, Quickly developed into a smart stayer for P. Twomey in Ireland and he shaped encouragingly following a lengthy absence when sixth of 9 in handicap at Newbury (16.5f) in April. Never figured in big-field Royal Ascot handicap 24 days ago but return to easier ground a plus. Reappearance showed plenty of ability remains; suffered in the early scrum at Royal Ascot. |
|||
10th (11)  (100/1 -614%)Tenerife Sunshine |
100/1(-614%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Tenerife Sunshine 100/1, Snapped a losing run with a decisive display when seeing off Vino Victrix at Goodwood (2m) in June. Creditable eighth of 20 in Ascot Stakes (20f) subsequently and he's not discounted dropping back down to 1¾m. Not proven on softer than good (two attempts); 2m win two runs back; tried 2m4f latest. |
|||
11th (10)  (50/1 -317%)Vino Victrix |
50/1(-317%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Vino Victrix 50/1, Had a productive 2022, including a good second in Cesarewitch here. Exploits mixed since but he did run creditably from his reduced mark when 1¾ lengths second of 11 to Tenerife Sunshine in handicap at Goodwood (2m) 33 days ago. Losing run is mounting up, however. Well beaten all five outings on soft; first run short of 2m for over two years. |
|||
12th (4)  (100/1 -614%)Zoffee |
100/1(-614%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Zoffee 100/1, Finished third in this race 2 years ago and, re-united with this stable, went one place better than 12 months earlier when bagging Chester Cup (18.6f) in May. Badly hampered over 2f out when midfield in Northumberland Plate 13 days ago and best treated as still in form. Won the Chester Cup off 4lb lower and did not shape too badly in the Northumberland Plate. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
TIDES OF WAR made the most of a lenient mark to land a competitive contest over this trip at Goodwood last time. A 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor David Simcock's charge now he's got his head back in front. Fairbanks finished in front of Bague D'or when sixth in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot, although the latter is a C&D winner and is fancied to turn the tables, while Fox Journey disappointed at Ascot but it's too soon to write him off.
Having proved as good as ever when successful over this trip on the Rowley Mile course in May, BAGUE D'OR seemed to find the drop back in trip against him when finishing midfield in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap 3 weeks ago. Boasting an excellent record here, he could be worth siding with to come out on top back at 1¾m. Beamish is another to bear in mind with his Ascot run best overlooked. Fairbanks and Zoffee are a couple of others worthy of factoring in.
The Johnston stable's good record in this race may be continued with KNIGHTSWOOD. Next on the list are Zoffee and Fairbanks.

10/11(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Porta Fortuna 10/11, Won the Group 1 Cheveley Park at 2 and has taken her form up another notch this year, going close in the 1000 Guineas before taking the Coronation at Royal Ascot. The one to beat. Second in the 1,000 Guineas, then went one better in Coronation Stakes; leading player. |
|||
2nd (6)  (28/1 -100%)Jabaara |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jabaara 28/1, Useful filly who notched 7f listed wins at Musselburgh and Carlisle last month but a jolt of improvement will be needed if she's to play a prominent role in this higher grade. 7f Listed wins last month; worth a crack at 1m; could go well in current form. |
|||
3rd (2)  (33/1 -313%)Rogue Millennium |
33/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rogue Millennium 33/1, Smart mare who won the Duke of Cambridge at 2023 Royal Ascot but was below par when 4 lengths fifth to Running Lion in this year's renewal of that race. Still early days for this yard but will need to step up on her 2 runs this season to trouble Porta Fortuna. Beaten favourite this term in both runs for new yard; big player on her peak figures. |
|||
3rd (5)  (33/1 -633%)A Lilac Rolla |
33/1(-633%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) A Lilac Rolla 33/1, Lost her unbeaten record but improved again when 2¾ lengths second of 13 to Fallen Angel in Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh (1m, soft) in May. Likely capable of better again. Ran well for 2nd in the Irish 1,000 Guineas; has progressive form and enters calculations. |
|||
5th (4)  (66/1 -371%)Sirona |
66/1(-371%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sirona 66/1, Useful 7f scorer for Charlie Johnston in 2023 and has returned with a pair of good placed efforts over 7f for her new yard. Looks to be biting off more than she can chew in this company, though. Good efforts over 7f for new stable, while shaping as if this return to 1m will suit. |
|||
6th (1)  (100/1 -100%)Magical Sunset |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Magical Sunset 100/1, Won the Group 3 Oak Tree at Goodwood (7f, heavy) last summer for Richard Hannon but her form is essentially no better than useful and she's held by Running Lion on latest Royal Ascot form. Ran respectably at Royal Ascot but has 4l to find with Running Lion on that bare form. |
|||
7th (3)  (33/1 -843%)Running Lion |
33/1(-843%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Running Lion 33/1, Made the breakthrough at Group level with a comfortable success in the Duke of Cambridge at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) 23 days ago, looking suited by a switch to front-running tactics. Her stable is bidding to win this for the third time in 5 years. Dictated the pace in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes, taking record over a bare 1m to 4-4. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Having dug deep to land the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, dual Group 1 winner PORTA FORTUNA arrives on the back of a career-best performance. The daughter of Caravaggio should prove a warm order and further glory looks imminent. Running Lion looked better than ever when scoring in the Duke Of Cambridge and the Gosdens' filly may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the unexposed A Lilac Rolla.
PORTA FORTUNA impressed with the way she picked off one who got first run on her at Royal Ascot and can become the first since Alpha Centauri in 2018 to complete the Coronation/Falmouth double. Fellow Irish-trained 3-y-o filly A Lilac Rolla has improved with each start and could be the one to give her most to do if that trend continues.
Being still unbeaten over a bare 1m, smart 4yo RUNNING LION (nap) gets the verdict. Porta Fortuna is feared most.

9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Field Of Gold 9/4, €530,000 foal, Kingman colt from a smart family who shaped with plenty of encouragement behind an experienced pair at Doncaster (7f) on debut 2 weeks ago, not knocked about. Sure to improve. 530,000euros foal; showed promise in Doncaster contest; leading player on that form. |

Dam, 1¼m winner, closely related to smart 1¼m winner Crystal Pegasus. 160,000gns foal; by Starspangledbanner and from a good family; one to consider. |
|||
3rd (5)  (100/1 -3536%)Mount Kilimanjaro |
100/1(-3536%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mount Kilimanjaro 100/1, Siyouni colt who shaped as if better for the run and experience when fifth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) on debut 56 days ago. Sure to improve. 420,000euros yearling; should improve on Leopardstown effort; enters calculations. |
|||

|||
5th (10)  (100/1 -400%)Sing Us A Song |
100/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sing Us A Song 100/1, Foaled April 26. 90,000 gns foal, 200,000 gns yearling, Camelot colt. Brother to smart 1¼m-12.5f winner Sir Erec and half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 1m winner Kamboo and 7f winner Badlands.

|||
6th (12)  (100/1 -1011%)Thunder Wonder |
100/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Thunder Wonder 100/1, Night of Thunder colt who showed plenty to work on when third of 8 in a C&D novice (good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Open to progress. Finished third to smart prospect in C&D novice event; one of the main form players. |
|||
7th (13)  (100/1 -614%)White Crown Star |
100/1(-614%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) White Crown Star 100/1, Foaled January 12. 200,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Eleanora Duse out of useful 1¼m winner Drama Class. Bred to come into his own over further but still warrants respect on debut. 200,000gns yearling; by Sea The Stars; related to winners for this yard; interesting. |
|||
8th (4)  (100/1 -3536%)Mothecombe |
100/1(-3536%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mothecombe 100/1, Foaled April 11. Ghaiyyath colt. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Fairy Cross and half-brother to 9.5f winner Willow Cove and 2-y-o 5f winner On Point. Makes obvious appeal on paper and is the choice of Buick. Ghaiyyath colt; from a family that his trainer knows well; respected newcomer. |
|||
9th (2)  (200/1 +0%)Charming Fellow |
200/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Charming Fellow 200/1, 150/1, offered little when last of 12 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good) on debut 28 days ago. Finished last of 12 in 7f maiden at Sandown. |
|||
10th (8)  (80/1 -1043%)Royal Officer |
80/1(-1043%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Royal Officer 80/1, The most expensive horse at the Craven Breeze-Up sales at 1,000,000 gns and should improve on his opening fifth at Sandown last month when looking a bit short of pace. Didn't live up to expectations in Sandown maiden; William Buick prefers Mothecombe. |
|||
11th (9)  (80/1 -142%)Shamal Wind |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Shamal Wind 80/1, Dubawi colt who was still in need of the experience when fourth of 5 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Should still improve. Has something to find on his 6f efforts; handicaps may be more suitable. |
|||
12th (1)  (300/1 -50%)Badeco |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Badeco 300/1, Well held in a pair of 7f events at Kempton. Well beaten in a couple of 7f AW races at Kempton. |
|||
13th (6)  (150/1 -200%)Must Believe |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Must Believe 150/1, Foaled February 8. 16,000 gns foal, 28,000 gns yearling, Make Believe colt. Dam once-raced half-sister to very smart winner up to 2m Dal Harraild out of smart winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner) Dalvina. 28,000gns yearling; by Make Believe; others are more appealing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Mothecombe is related to some smart types, including the Group 3 winner Fairy Cross, and any market support for Charlie Appleby's newcomer must be noted. However, MOUNT KILIMANJARO is taken to build on his fifth-placed debut over 7f at Leopardstown in May and that experience could prove to be vital. Recent Doncaster third Field Of Gold is another likely improver and the Kingman colt completes the shortlist.
MOUNT KILIMANJARO is clearly well regarded judged on his Group 1 entries and, having shaped as if better for the run in what is traditionally a hot maiden at Leopardstown in May, he earns the vote to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Mothecombe is a most interesting newcomer, and it could prove significant that Buick prefers him to Royal Officer, with Field of Gold another to take seriously having shaped with plenty of encouragement behind an experienced pair at Doncaster.
First choice is FIELD OF GOLD, ahead of Mount Kilimanjaro. Several of the newcomers have good credentials.

13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Validated 13/2, Comfortable winner of a Brighton maiden (7f) on his seasonal/yard debut in May and ran well despite not looking at home on the track when sixth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in May. Drops in grade but he still needs to find more. Race wide throughout when sixth in warm 3yo handicap at Goodwood in May; a player. |
|||
2nd (12)  (22/1 -10%)Run Boy Run |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Run Boy Run 22/1, Opened his account in 6f Newcastle maiden in March. Improved form when runner-up at Haydock (6f, good) early last month and can be excused his latest effort at York, hampered at the start and racing on unfavoured near side. Others still preferred. Free-going 3yo; ran well in first-time cheekpieces last month but well held since. |
|||
3rd (10)  (14/1 -65%)Brunel Nation |
14/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Brunel Nation 14/1, Much improved when winning handicaps at Chelmsford (6f) in March and at this venue (7f, awarded race after suffering interference) in April. Unproven on the ground at Chester (7.6f, soft) last time, so drying conditions would be a help for his chances. Disappointed on soft ground last time but looked progressive beforehand; might bounce back. |
|||
4th (9)  (80/1 -1043%)Waiting All Night |
80/1(-1043%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Waiting All Night 80/1, Without a win since debut but has been heading back in the right direction of late, nearest at the finish when runner-up at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Capable of getting involved from his current mark. 0-18 since winning 2yo debut but ran well in defeat over C&D last month; in the mix again. |
|||
5th (4)  (80/1 -900%)Eminency |
80/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Eminency 80/1, Made the frame 4 times when trained by Clive Cox last season and returned to his best when just failing at Goodwood (6f) in June. Again ran well when fourth at this course (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago, so he's one to consider as he goes back up in trip. Twice in the frame over 6f last month and well worth another crack at 7f. |
|||
6th (8)  (100/1 -1567%)Final Watch |
100/1(-1567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Final Watch 100/1, Winner of this corresponding event in 2023 under Neil Callan but hasn't gone on from that effort since, including in 2 starts on the Rowley Mile here this season. However, he's now 3 lb lower than for last year's success, so he's not written off. Safely held on both starts this year but now 3lb lower than when winning this race in 2023. |
|||
7th (6)  (33/1 -408%)Zouzanna |
33/1(-408%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Zouzanna 33/1, Below expectations when favourite on reappearance, but left that behind when third at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month, faring best of those held up. Succesful twice at 3 yrs and she's a major player with the potential of better still to come. Stayed on from the rear for third at Newbury last month and is not yet fully exposed. |
|||
8th (2)  (66/1 -164%)Sir Winston |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sir Winston 66/1, Successful 3 times last season and made the frame twice from 3 starts in Bahrain early this year. However, below his best back in Britain on his last 2 outings, sixth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good) 9 days ago. Ran well until fading into sixth at Epsom last week; bit more needed here. |
|||
9th (1)  (80/1 -1043%)Metabolt |
80/1(-1043%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Metabolt 80/1, Better than ever on his last 2 starts, seeing off the challenge of a next-time-out winner when making it back-to-back victories at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Up in grade but he's not dismissed lightly in his current form. Took form to new level last month, battling well for two narrow wins; must be considered. |
|||
10th (7)  (100/1 -400%)Tiger Crusade |
100/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tiger Crusade 100/1, Solid perfomer on all-weather and ran respectably back on turf when fifth of 9 at Doncaster (6f) in May. Met trouble in running at this course (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago, so he needs everything to drop right given his usual hold-up style. On the downgrade now but too well handicapped to rule out; moves back up in trip today. |
|||
11th (5)  (66/1 -371%)Smoky Mountain |
66/1(-371%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Smoky Mountain 66/1, Made a winning start to the year at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in January and has continued in good heart since, shaped encouragingly after 11 weeks off when fifth of 12 at Goodwood (7f, good) in May. Could still have more to offer. Dual AW winner during the winter; denied clear run when fifth on turf return in May. |
|||
12th (3)  (100/1 -1718%)Gisburn |
100/1(-1718%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gisburn 100/1, Has been edging back down in the weights this year and there have been better signs on his last couple of starts, caught further back than ideal when fifth of 14 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Could be thereabouts back up in trip. Recent 6f runs were perfectly respectable and this move back up to 7f won't be a problem. |
|||
13th (13)  (50/1 -400%)Ezra Cee |
50/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Ezra Cee 50/1, Fair form for Peter Chapple-Hyam as a 2-y-o and ran up to best on return/yard debut when landing a Windsor maiden (6f, good to firm) in May, scoring with a bit in hand. Remains capable of better upped in trip for his handicap bow with cheekpieces added. Did not look straightforward when odds-on maiden winner in May but still has potential. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Metabolt has to be of interest having scored twice last month but marginal preference is for GISBURN. Richard Hannon's gelding has been catching the eye when staying on late over 6f of late and he could take advantage of a lenient handicap mark now up in trip. Smoky Mountain remains unexposed and some promise can be taken from his Goodwood effort last time, while Zouzanna is also noted.
ZOUZANNA bounced back to her best when third at Newbury last time, staying on behind a pair who were up with the pace throughout, so she can build on that effort to return to winning ways. Gisburn also caught the eye having not been ideally placed on his latest outing, so he heads the list of potential dangers, with Eminency another to note making only his second start at 7f.
The suggestion is VALIDATED, who was not beaten far in a hot 3yo handicap in May, having been poorly positioned throughout.

(6)  (14/1 -27%)Dusky Lord |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dusky Lord 14/1, Big career best when an impressive winner of the Ayr Silver Cup in 2022. Rarely stands much racing by sprinting standards and hard to enthuse over his 3 efforts this season (albeit had excuses last time). Mark continues to tumble, and a useful apprentice takes over. On a very dangerous mark now and was unlucky not to finish closer than sixth last time. |
|||
(2)  (40/1 -60%)Spoof |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Spoof 40/1, Made more impact than previously this year when fourth at York (5f, good) in May but unable to build on that a week later at Doncaster. Mark eases further but others certainly more convincing. Outran 66-1 odds when fourth at York in May but soundly beaten since; others preferred. |
|||
1st (3)  (9/4 +0%)No Half Measures |
9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) No Half Measures 9/4, Completed her hat-trick in handicap at Goodwood in May and having finished down the field in listed company at Sandown, took a step forward back in a handicap when third of 28 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago (first home in her group). Can kick on again with Moore booked. Very creditable third of 28 at Royal Ascot last month, having raced prominently throughout. |
|||
2nd (9)  (10/3 +5%)Good Good Good |
10/3(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Good Good Good 10/3, Half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Annaf and looked good prospect herself when readily winning 6-runner minor event at Yarmouth (6f) on debut last month. Completed a simple task to follow up in a match at Leicester (5f) just over 2 weeks ago and remains open to improvement now handicapping. Began career with two wins last month (6f/5f); limit of her ability is very hard to gauge. |
|||
3rd (11)  (25/1 -213%)Fantasy Master |
25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Fantasy Master 25/1, Has dipped below his last winning mark and wasn't seen to best effect when seventh at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago, shuffled back over 2f out and short of room over 1f out. Is handicapped to win and his turn shouldn't be far away. Has posted two good efforts over 6f this season; easily excused his 5f defeat last time. |
|||
4th (10)  (18/1 -29%)Spring Bloom |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Spring Bloom 18/1, Ran below form having a rare start at 6f when down the field at Windsor just under a fortnight ago. Is now 9 lb below his last winning mark but he'll find much easier races than this. Yet to build upon encouraging seasonal debut but has slipped to a tempting mark. |
|||
5th (1)  (28/1 -211%)Isle Of Lismore |
28/1(-211%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Isle Of Lismore 28/1, 3-time C&D winner and was better than ever when scoring at Ascot in May. Run best excused when down the field at Windsor last month (dived right leaving stalls and rider lost iron) so he's the type to bounce back quickly. Looked as good as ever when game winner in May but may find others better handicapped. |
|||
6th (4)  (66/1 -560%)Hedge Fund |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hedge Fund 66/1, Straightforward sprinter who was gelded during the winter and has improved for it judged on his solid placed efforts at Bath and Sandown (both at 5f on heavy/good respectively) in April. Below form the last twice however and looked awkward under pressure at Royal Ascot last month. Blinkers on. Began season with two good runs; two lesser efforts followed; blinkers now added. |
|||
7th (7)  (100/1 -257%)Ashwiyaa |
100/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ashwiyaa 100/1, Off the mark on his penultimate start for M. D. O'Callaghan last year but below that level for new connections, racing wide but checking out quite quickly nevertheless sporting a first-time tongue tie at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 3 weeks ago. Watching brief advised. Not seen since down-the-field finish on AW three months ago; others look much safer. |
|||
8th (5)  (100/1 -1233%)Almaty Star |
100/1(-1233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Almaty Star 100/1, Had been displaying more positive signs and gained his reward when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford last month. Ran at least as well in defeat when third back there (5f) 5 days ago and can't be dismissed in this form returned to turf. Made all at Chelmsford last month and went close there on Sunday; return to turf not ideal. |
|||
9th (8)  (100/1 -733%)Above |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Above 100/1, Last success came over C&D last summer and ran creditably from easing mark when third of 11 at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Each-way claims returned to this track. C&D winner last summer and recently placed over 6f but has modest win-rate in recent years. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
NO HALF MEASURES has progressed well this year and outran odds of 50/1 when filling third place in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot last month. Off just a 1lb higher mark here, the daughter of Cable Bay could be hard to stop. Good Good Good has to be of some interest now switched to handicaps having won both of her starts in novice company, while Almaty Star and Isle Of Lismore are others who could go well.
An open-looking sprint to end the card but preference is for NO HALF MEASURES, who can have her latest third in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap marked up given she was first home in her group and the booking of Ryan Moore certainly catches the eye. Second choice is Good Good Good, who is 2-2 and looks a filly worth keeping onside now handicapping, while Isle of Lismore and Fantasy Master are another couple worth mentioning, too.
Richard Hughes's filly NO HALF MEASURES drops in grade after her honourable third at Royal Ascot last month and gets the nod.

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.
