1st (1) (13/8 +0%) Ancient Wisdom |
13/8(+0%) | (1) Ancient Wisdom 13/8, Excellent 4-5 at 2yrs when ending his campaign with Group 1 glory in the Futurity at Doncaster. Not disgraced when second in the Dante at York on return but failed to build on it when eighth in the Derby at Epsom. Remains one to consider though now stepped up in trip. 2yo Group 1 winner; merely midfield in the Derby but brings staying potential; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/1 -38%) Royal Supremacy |
9/1(-38%) | (4) Royal Supremacy 9/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs. Has taken his form up a notch this term, second in Derby Italiano at Rome before an excellent third of 14 to Calandagan in King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot (12f). Very much one to consider with his stamina drawn out more. 3rd in Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot; every chance he'll keep progressing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (66/1 -843%) Portland |
66/1(-843%) | (3) Portland 66/1, Landed 12f listed race at Leopardstown in June and not disgraced when eighth of 12 to Jayarebe in Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, firm) 21 days ago. Needs this big step up in trip to spark improvement. He's more exposed than his rivals but the step up in trip may be a plus; not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/1 -211%) Space Legend |
7/1(-211%) | (5) Space Legend 7/1, Improving son of of Sea The Stars who comes here on the back of a fine second of 14 to Calandagan in King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot (12f, good to firm) 20 days ago. More to offer over this longer trip. Big shout. Runner-up in Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot; a leading candidate today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
ANCIENT WISDOM appeared to be crying out for a step up in trip when no match to the impressive Economics in the Dante. The Dubawi colt received just that when sent to the Derby at Epsom last month, but, having perhaps failed to handle the track, that effort can be forgiven. The clear pick on official ratings, he can resume his progress upped further in distance and eased in class. Space Legend (second) and Royal Supremacy (third) clashed in the King Edward VII at Royal Ascot last time and are the most likely dangers.
SPACE LEGEND has improved a chunk with each of his four runs to date so William Haggas' King Edward VII runner-up is taken to resume winning ways. Royal Supremacy came home a place behind the selection that day and rates the chief threat, although Ancient Wisdom is another with the form to have a say if back to his juvenile best in an intriguing Bahrain Trophy.
Preference is for the up-and-coming SPACE LEGEND, who was runner-up in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot.

1st (6) (3/1 -20%) Whistlejacket |
3/1(-20%) | (6) Whistlejacket 3/1, Failed to land support on 6f debut but emphatically put that right over 5f when 3¾ lengths too good for Arizona Blaze in listed race at the Curragh in May. Below expectations when fourth in Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, firm) 3 weeks ago, but fancied to get back on track returned to 6f. Beaten fav in the Norfolk but ran well and today's longer trip on softer ground is ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/1 +55%) Billboard Star |
9/1(+55%) | (3) Billboard Star 9/1, Strong in the betting and duly confirmed debut promise when winning 9-runner novice at this C&D (good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Will likely go on improving, but this is a big step up in grade. Impressed over C&D 14 days ago and his trainer rarely aims high without good reason. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/1 -29%) Aomori City |
9/1(-29%) | (2) Aomori City 9/1, Oasis Dream colt who created a good impression in landing the odds first time out in 6-runner novice at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 4 weeks ago. Clearly held in high regard pitched into this company for his second outing, so has to be respected for his top yard. The front two came clear when an odds-on winner at Nottingham; has lots of potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (28/1 -100%) Rajeko |
28/1(-100%) | (5) Rajeko 28/1, Kameko colt who overcame considerable inexperience to make a winning debut inn 11-runner novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) just over 5 weeks ago. Sure to progress, but this looks a tough assignment on just his second outing. It wasn't much of a race he won at Windsor but did well to overcome his inexperience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (80/1 -2809%) Electrolyte |
80/1(-2809%) | (4) Electrolyte 80/1, Hello Youmzain colt who was a decisive winner of 4-runner maiden at Ayr last month. Much improved on that effort when going down by a nose in 22-runner Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago and he's capable of better still. Obvious claims. Strong finisher to be 2nd in the Coventry; this stiff track should be right up his alley. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (50/1 -733%) Ain't Nobody |
50/1(-733%) | (1) Ain't Nobody 50/1, Sands of Mali colt who scored in good style at Carlisle on debut before maintaining his unbeaten record up in grade when responding well to land 27-runner listed Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f, firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Step up to 6f a positive and he's likely to progress further. Posted good RPR in winning the Windsor Castle and the extra furlong shouldn't trouble him. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Better was expected of WHISTLEJACKET in the Norfolk three weeks ago, but he was by no means disgraced in fourth. The son of No Nay Never hit the line strongly that day and ought to prove more effective at this longer trip, so it would come as no surprise were he to provide Aidan O'Brien a first winner in this contest since Royal Lytham back in 2019. Ain't Nobody maintained his unbeaten record when swooping late to land the Windsor Castle last time, though it is Coventry runner-up Electrolyte that may be the main threat.
The smallest field since 2010 for the July Stakes and as usual, various form strands from Royal Ascot are represented against those that have won novices. The vote goes to WHISTLEJACKET, who failed to meet expectations when fourth in the Norfolk but this step back up to 6f looks the way to go. Ain't Nobody made it 2-2 in the Windsor Castle last month so he's most feared, ahead of Electrolyte, who went down by a flared nostril in the Coventry and is open to further progress.
The form of three 2yo races at Ascot is represented. Norfolk fourth WHISTLEJACKET will be happier back over 6f on softer ground.

Woodhay Wonder |
(2) (15/2 -36%)15/2(-36%) | (2) Woodhay Wonder 15/2, Won 6f Rowley course handicaps on her first 2 starts this year and fine fourth of 28 when dropped to 5f in the Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot. C&D winner. Should give another good account back at 6f. Only defeat at Newmarket tracks came in Group 2 (4-5 otherwise); still improving; ground ?. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Aramram |
(10) (28/1 +15%)28/1(+15%) | (10) Aramram 28/1, Looked good when winning a 6f Nottingham novice on his reappearance. That makes his subsequent fifth in a 7f Doncaster novice and fourth in a 6f Windsor handicap a little underwhelming but there's still time for him to resume his progression. Wide-margin novice win in May; less good twice since, including handicap debut latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (12) (6/1 +63%) Sergeant Wilko |
6/1(+63%) | (12) Sergeant Wilko 6/1, Improved performer this year, bouncing back from a below-par run over 5f at Thirsk to score over 6f at Leicester at the end of May. 3 lb higher in a deeper race now. Improved performer this year; 3lb rise for latest Leicester win could prove generous. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (9/1 +64%) Moswaat |
9/1(+64%) | (13) Moswaat 9/1, Scored second time up at 2 yrs but has been unable to get seriously competitive in handicaps this time round, finishing midfield in the Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot latest. Promise at two but the handicapper has been firmly in command so far this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (10/1 +17%) Imperial Guard |
10/1(+17%) | (15) Imperial Guard 10/1, Resumed with 6f novice win at Kempton and creditable efforts in competitive 6f handicaps at Ascot and York on his last 2 outings. Will need an improved effort to defy this mark but his stable is no stranger to success in this contest. Ties in with a few of these on a York run last month; career best required to win though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (12/1 +25%) Two Tribes |
12/1(+25%) | (7) Two Tribes 12/1, Displayed plenty of zip when making a winning nursery debut fitted with blinkers at Sandown last August. Better form when second on next 3 starts, running notably well when second to the very progressive James's Delight on 6f Rowley course reappearance. Excuses in Palace of Holyroodhouse since. Form of his 2nd on the Rowley course in May is strong; not at best over 5f at Royal Ascot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (17/2 +15%) Tropical Island |
17/2(+15%) | (6) Tropical Island 17/2, Dual winner at 2, including a 6f York nursery. Shaped very well when sixth of 17 in valuable 6f York handicap on reappearance, travelling well and hitting the front before weakening as if the outing was just needed. Major player. Two wins as a 2yo; pleasing return in hot York sprint last month; could have more to give. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (66/1 -164%) Palmar Bay |
66/1(-164%) | (14) Palmar Bay 66/1, Won a pair of Salisbury novices (good to firm/heavy) last year. Shaped well in Doncaster nursery final start but his 7f Sandown reappearance last month wasn't obviously promising. Two wins as a 2yo; gelded over the winter; low-key return at Sandown (7f); others safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (40/1 -150%) Zabriskie Point |
40/1(-150%) | (5) Zabriskie Point 40/1, Winner of novices over 5f at Leicester (good) and 7f at Thirsk (soft) at 2. Well held in 7f Rowley course Group 3 on final start. This a rather belated reappearance but the stable did have one return from an absence to win a good handicap at Sandown last weekend. Two wins (5f and 7f) as a 2yo; gelded over the winter; returns in a competitive race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (20/1 -100%) Dorney Lake |
20/1(-100%) | (8) Dorney Lake 20/1, Useful form when winning over 6f at Yarmouth (maiden) and Lingfield (novice) in the spring. Failed to meet expectations in the Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot but it's still early days. Two 6f turf wins in May; didn't get home at Royal Ascot last time; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (80/1 -400%) Thunder Blue |
80/1(-400%) | (11) Thunder Blue 80/1, Quite useful but very much exposed. First run for Jamie Osborne when a creditable ninth in Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot. Being eased 2 lb can only help but others are still more persuasive. Promising stable debut at Royal Ascot; dropped 2lb and the return to 6f looks a positive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (28/1 -155%) Dark Vintage |
28/1(-155%) | (3) Dark Vintage 28/1, Fairly useful winner in US last year and useful efforts in defeat in Britian this year, finishing sixth of 28 in Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot latest. Raced only at 5f but shapes as if 6f could suit. All runs at 5f on good or faster; useful already but 6f could unlock more from him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (100/1 -300%) Brave Empire |
100/1(-300%) | (4) Brave Empire 100/1, Won 3 of his first 5 starts (all 6f) and has had excuses for his 2 defeats since. Going softer than good would be an unknown. Won 3 of his 7 starts (all 6f) and didn't run badly at Royal Ascot (5f); others stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (66/1 -371%) Military |
66/1(-371%) | (1) Military 66/1, Represents top connections but his form to date is no better than useful, finishing well held in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last time. More chance at this level but he'll still require a big career best to defy top weight. Highly tried since his winning 2yo debut and he's come up short; others more persuasive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (16) (100/1 -100%) Roman Emperor |
100/1(-100%) | (16) Roman Emperor 100/1, Winner at Southwell (6f) in January and runner-up at Lingfield on next 2 starts. Not in quite the same form since, including ack on turf here (7f) 19 days ago. Something to find from out of the handicap. Fair AW form this winter but tough task here from out of the handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
WOODHAY WONDER boasts an excellent record on both tracks here, with her only defeat coming when third in the Duchess Of Cambridge at this meeting last year, and a recent fourth in the Palace Of Holyrood House at Royal Ascot proved there might still be a bit of leeway from her current mark of 99. Zabriskie Point was last seen competing in the Tattersalls Stakes on the Rowley Mile in September and it would come as no surprise were he to improve back handicapping, while Tropical Island and Dorney Lake are others to note.
TROPICAL ISLAND was a big eyecatcher on her York reappearance, travelling like one ahead of her mark before an 8-month absence seemed to tell late on. Woodhay Wonder's excellent Newmarket record, which includes a valuable success over C&D at the end of last summer, also earns her a place on the shortlist, ahead of Imperial Guard
A competitive sprint which could be heading north with SERGEANT WILKO (nap) preferred to \pTropical Island\p and Dark Vintage.

1st (1) (7/2 +36%) Giavellotto |
7/2(+36%) | (1) Giavellotto 7/2, Very smart horse who looked better than ever when winning the Yorkshire Cup for the second year running 8 weeks ago. Drop back in trip and 3 lb penalty are the negatives. Secured back-to-back wins in Yorkshire Cup in May; had plenty in hand and he's respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/2 -35%) Arrest |
9/2(-35%) | (3) Arrest 9/2, Won 2 Group 3s as a 3-y-o, namely Chester Vase and Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury, before ending the season with a fine second in the St Leger. Needed the run on return and latest second in Ormonde at Chester was respectable. Can come on again. Last year's St Leger runner-up who could play a major role now back on a slow surface. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (100/1 -1329%) Time Lock |
100/1(-1329%) | (6) Time Lock 100/1, Smart winner of a French listed race and Group 3 Princess Royal Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley Mile) last season. Respectable second in the Jockey Club Stakes there on return before excuses in Coronation Cup. Bit to find on balance and easing conditions is against her. Listed/Group 3 wins last Sept; didn't handle Epsom in Coronation Cup; may not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (28/1 -2233%) Hamish |
28/1(-2233%) | (4) Hamish 28/1, Classy and highly likeable sort who recorded his fifth win in a row in the John Porter Stakes at Newbury on return. Given too much to do when runner-up in the Coronation Cup at Epsom since and this is an excellent opportunity for him to resume winning ways. Eight-time Group 3 winner who was second in Group 1 Coronation Cup latest; leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (100/1 -203%) Maxi King |
100/1(-203%) | (5) Maxi King 100/1, Further progress when completing hat-trick for this yard in handicap on the Rowley Mile in May but limitations rather exposed when upped in class since. Kicked off campaign with two handicap wins but no threat the last twice; up against it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (40/1 -82%) Outbox |
40/1(-82%) | (2) Outbox 40/1, Smart front runner on his day, as shown when stealing the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (by 2½ lengths from Time Lock) on return. Well held both starts overseas since and hard to see him defying a penalty in this. Made all at 50-1 in Rowley Mile Group 2 in May; twice well beaten on the continent since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Having posted an excellent second in the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom in May, HAMISH rates as the one to beat on this ease in class. William Haggas' veteran had previously racked up a five-timer and is taken to regain the winning thread at the main expense of the penalised Giavellotto. The son of Mastercraftsman arrives on the back of a comfortable victory in the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup and certainly won't be found lacking for stamina come the finish. Arrest makes most appeal of the remainder with conditions more in his favour.
HAMISH's winning run came to an end in the Coronation Cup at Epsom 6 weeks ago but he lost nothing in defeat that day and can resume winning ways back down in class. Arrest stepped up on his comeback run when runner-up in the Ormonde Stakes at Chester and last year's St Leger runner-up is feared most.
Eight-time Group 3 winner HAMISH was an excellent second in the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom last time and can go one better today.

1st (4) (9/1 -100%) Magic Mild |
9/1(-100%) | (4) Magic Mild 9/1, Knew her job and showed plenty of ability when length third of 13 to It Ain't Two in maiden on the Rowley course. That form is solid and, while she disappointed in listed company at York next time, she still has potential. Disappointing in York Listed in May but of interest judged on her Rowley Mile debut third. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (100/1 -1438%) Adoon Valley |
100/1(-1438%) | (1) Adoon Valley 100/1, Foaled January 31. Too Darn Hot filly. Half-sister to French 9f winner Barazin. Dam, winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner), stayed 1¾m, out of useful half-sister to Dubawi. Highly respected on debut. Dam 1m-1m4f winner (including Listed); makes debut in a warm race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (66/1 -560%) Dream Voyage |
66/1(-560%) | (2) Dream Voyage 66/1, Foaled March 15. Kingman filly. Sister to 7.6f winner Native King and half-sister to 1m winner Fleurir. One to note on debut. Wears hood. Notable newcomer. Makes debut in warm race but trainer is having a good year with his 2yos; could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (25/1 -108%) Pearl Of Windsor |
25/1(-108%) | (7) Pearl Of Windsor 25/1, Foaled March 16. 160,000 gns yearling, Pinatubo filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 5f winner Raasel and useful 7f winner Star Jewel. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Interesting on paper. Trainer's last 2 runners have won; this attractively bred newcomer is worth a second look. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (40/1 -1233%) Miss Fascinator |
40/1(-1233%) | (5) Miss Fascinator 40/1, Bought for 72,000gns from the Breeze-Ups and looked above average when runner-up over C&D on debut recently. That is the best piece of form on show and she's open to improvement, so looks the one to beat. Runner-up on recent debut over C&D, which is up there with the best form in the field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (100/1 -1438%) Sea Emily Run |
100/1(-1438%) | (8) Sea Emily Run 100/1, Half-sister to several winners and there was encouragement in her debut at Goodwood, staying on for fourth after missing the break. Should have learned from that and is entitled to do better. Close 4th on debut at Goodwood last month and there's a good chance she has more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (200/1 -203%) Mystical Queen |
200/1(-203%) | (6) Mystical Queen 200/1, Related to a smart sort but not a great deal of encouragement in her debut here last month. Hard to fancy. She's a half-sister to two talented winners but was well beaten at 33-1 on debut here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (66/1 -560%) Hot Like Me |
66/1(-560%) | (3) Hot Like Me 66/1, Ghaiyyath filly. Half-sister to winner up to 9f Lastrada. Stiff task on debut in the Chesham at Royal Ascot but showed ability and shouldn't be ruled out with her sights lowered. Thrown in at deep end on debut at Royal Ascot; not disgraced and not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (66/1 -2100%) Valentia Island |
66/1(-2100%) | (9) Valentia Island 66/1, Expensive Breeze-Up purchase with a mixed pedigree in terms of speed and stamina. Only fifth over C&D on debut but there's more to come and she can feature. Work to do with Miss Fascinator on C&D debut form but she could take a big step forward. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
There was plenty of encouragement to be gleaned from MISS FASCINATOR's debut second over C&D last month. That experience should stand the Roger Varian-trained filly in good stead going forwards and a breakthrough victory may be imminent. Although she proved underwhelming in the Listed Marygate Fillies' Stakes at York in May, it's too early to write Magic Mild off. The daughter of Havana Grey is a potential improver upped in distance and she may give the selection most to think about, ahead of well-bred newcomer Adoon Valley.
MISS FASCINATOR sets the standard on her C&D second 13 days ago and, if the race doesn't come too soon, she should be able to go one better. Valentia Island is one of several rivals open to improvement and Adoon Valley is a notable debutante for a shrewd outfit.
Godolphin filly VALENTIA ISLAND raced away from the main action when fifth over C&D on her recent debut and earns the vote.

1st (1) (9/1 -29%) Al Musmak |
9/1(-29%) | (1) Al Musmak 9/1, Useful colt who won twice as a juvenile, notably a listed race at Haydock (8.2f) in September. Not been in quite same form this term but posted respectable seventh in Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f) latest and drop back in trip may see him in a better light. Pretty smart over 1m at two but below that level over 1m2f this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4/1 -45%) Kitty Rose |
4/1(-45%) | (6) Kitty Rose 4/1, Won 2 of her 3 starts last term and took her form up a notch when narrowly beaten in a Leopardstown Group 3 on reappearance in April. Joined new yard thereafter and posted creditable fifth of 30 in Sandringham at Royal Ascot (8f) last month. Big player. Listed winner; good run for new yard when fifth under big weight at Royal Ascot; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/4 -38%) Lead Artist |
11/4(-38%) | (3) Lead Artist 11/4, Promising sort who built on his encouraging debut effort when decisively taking 6-runner minor event at York (7.9f, good, 6/4) 55 days ago, forging clear. Further improvement is on the cards and he's a major player. Emphatic winner of 1m novice at York Dante meeting; looks a smart prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (17/2 -13%) Socialite |
17/2(-13%) | (5) Socialite 17/2, Unraced as a juvenile but is making up for lost time this term, winning both his starts, latest when readily landing 10-runner minor event (11/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Asked a bigger question now but further improvement is on the cards. 2-2 in 7f maiden/novice events; useful prospect who is worth his place in higher grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (100/1 -900%) Native American |
100/1(-900%) | (4) Native American 100/1, Dual winner as a juvenile, including valuable sales race at the Curragh. Below par in Jersey Stakes latest but had upped his game when narrowly beaten in an Epsom listed race (7f, soft) previously and must enter calculations. Went close in 7f Epsom Listed race in May; held at Ascot since but claims on Epsom form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (28/1 -331%) Bold Style |
28/1(-331%) | (2) Bold Style 28/1, Off the mark at Chelmsford in December and found plenty of improvement in a couple of starts this year, latest when second of 4 in listed race on Rowley Course (7f) in May. Likely has more to offer yet. Gelded since second in Rowley course Listed race in May; return to 1m should suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
LEAD ARTIST was unlucky not to score on his debut in the Wood Ditton after being slowly away and flying home late to only be denied by a nose. The son of Dubawi proved to be a class act at York in May and appears to have plenty more scope for improvement, so the rise in grade is unlikely to be an inconvenience. Kitty Rose wasn't disgraced when fifth in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last time and she has to be considered, while Socialite is another to take seriously.
The recent rain will play to the strengths of KITTY ROSE, who posted a personal best when runner-up in a Group 3 at Leopardstown in April and made a solid start for her new yard at Royal Ascot last month. Lead Artist looked potentially smart when scoring at York in May and is feared most, whilst Native American is another who will be suited by plenty of give underfoot.
Juddmonte's LEAD ARTIST impressed in a novice at the York Dante meeting and can take the step up in class in his stride.

Alzahir |
(2) (14/1 +0%)14/1(+0%) | (2) Alzahir 14/1, Useful dual winner for the Gosdens and reappearance fourth of 13 on third run for these connections at Chester in May was pretty encouraging. Backward step at Royal Ascot since but back in calmer waters now and he's dangerous to discount off this reduced mark. Inconsistent and well beaten at Royal Ascot, but fair fourth at Chester previously. |

1st (5) (11/1 -38%) Sterling Knight |
11/1(-38%) | (5) Sterling Knight 11/1, Returned to his best when landing an 11-runner 7f handicap at Newbury last month. Wasn't in the same form at Royal Ascot but that was a tough assignment (his track position didn't help either) and he's a player here down 2 lb with Oisin Murphy booked. No impact at Royal Ascot but won at Newbury two starts ago; first crack at 1m worth a go. |

2nd (1) (25/1 -108%) Tempus |
25/1(-108%) | (1) Tempus 25/1, Won twice in Group company in 2022 and proved that plenty of ability remains when runner-up in a listed contest at Kempton in December. However, his form has subsequently tailed off and the first-time blinkers (on again here) hardly worked the oracle at Royal Ascot last month. Down in the weights and in grade but hard to fancy judged on his last two performances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/2 -10%) Twirling |
11/2(-10%) | (4) Twirling 11/2, Successful twice during a light 3-y-o campaign and raised her game when opening turf account at Doncaster (1m, good) in May. Probably best to draw a line through subsequent Royal Ascot display and it would be no surprise to see this filly bounce back with a bold show. Not seen to best effect at Royal Ascot but progressive previously & firmly in calculations. |

4th (8) (8/1 -140%) Fifty Nifty |
8/1(-140%) | (8) Fifty Nifty 8/1, Looked potentially useful when making a winning start in 8-runner Yarmouth maiden in April. Subsequent fifth of 11 in a Doncaster novice (1m, good) was no backward step and improvement may well be forthcoming now pitched into a handicap with Tom Marquand aboard. Has shown considerable promise on both starts; lightly raced and open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (100/1 -525%) Helm Rock |
100/1(-525%) | (3) Helm Rock 100/1, Back-to-back winner on the AW last summer and close third off a 4 lb higher mark at Chelmsford in December. Little impact in a handful of appearances since the turn of the year, though, and he needs to bounce back. Has dropped to a handy mark but he's been soundly beaten on his last three starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (100/1 -900%) Safwan |
100/1(-900%) | (9) Safwan 100/1, Fairly useful 2-time winner in France for Edouard Monfort earlier in the year. Nearer last than first at Royal Ascot since and while this is less taxing assignment, it's easy enough to look elsewhere. 2 French wins; fast going may not have suited at Royal Ascot; claims not overly compelling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (100/1 -809%) Repertoire |
100/1(-809%) | (7) Repertoire 100/1, Dual winner last season and has acquitted himself well all 4 starts since returning to action in May, not least when a close third at Goodwood (1m, good) latest. Still, this 8-y-o will probably find one or two too good once more. Consistent sort who was a close third at Goodwood latest; can give another good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (80/1 -1043%) The Ice Phoenix |
80/1(-1043%) | (10) The Ice Phoenix 80/1, Progressed further under a well-judged rude to land an 11-runner course handicap at Ascot (1m, good) on penultimate start. However, he was out with the washing off this 6 lb higher mark at Haydock next time. Disappointing at Haydock last time but this 3yo had an improving profile previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (50/1 -355%) Urban Sprawl |
50/1(-355%) | (6) Urban Sprawl 50/1, Losing run mounting up but showcased his consistency when making the frame 8 times on the bounce in AW handicaps between October - December. Gelded since latest start and he'll be on the premises if raring to go following a 6-month break. Absent since last December but ran well on last year's reappearance; on a competitive mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
TWIRLING was well beaten in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot last month, but prior to that she took a class 4 event at Doncaster. The daughter of Churchill is only 5lb higher compared to that triumph and Ryan Moore retains the ride from last time, so she shades the vote. Sterling Knight finished down the field in the Buckingham Palace at the Royal meeting last time, but he is better judged on his victory at Newbury the time before and he should go well. Of the rest, The Ice Phoenix makes the most appeal.
FIFTY NIFTY looked good when making a winning debut at Yarmouth in April and it was a competitive Doncaster novice in which he finished a very respectable fifth next time. Armed with potential now venturing down the handicap route, this unexposed 3-y-o makes plenty of appeal. Twirling and Sterling Knight were both down the field in Royal Ascot handicaps but better can be expected here, while Alzahir and Urban Sprawl are others to consider.
The 5yo STERLING KNIGHT is unraced over 1m but got up late over 7f at Newbury two starts ago and could prove well suited by the trip.

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.
