1st (4)  (11/4 -83%)Desert Flower |
11/4(-83%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Desert Flower 11/4, Foaled March 5. Night of Thunder filly. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Aablan. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner) out of Cape Verdi/Balanchine winner Promising Run. Yard have dominated this maiden and she's an obvious type. Likely type on paper for a top stable seeking a fifth win in this since 2017. |
|||
2nd (7)  (3/1 +67%)Flight |
3/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Flight 3/1, Siyouni filly. Dam, winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to smart German 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Rock My Love. 13/8, strong in the betting and showed plenty to work on when second of 6 in 7f Newbury novice, just not as sharp as the experienced winner and not knocked about. Sure to improve. Promising 4l second on 7f Newbury debut; can be expected to improve. |
|||
3rd (2)  (50/1 -317%)Bintabuha |
50/1(-317%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bintabuha 50/1, 140,000 gns Ghaiyyath filly. Closely related to useful 1½m-1¾m winner Garden Paradise and half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Mighty River. 9/2, promising start in C&D fillies' novice 22 days ago, staying on and not knocked about. Sure to improve, not least with stamina drawn out further. Stayed on for a promising second on her C&D debut 22 days ago; likely to progress. |
|||
4th (5)  (15/2 -299%)Duty First |
15/2(-299%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Duty First 15/2, Foaled March 17. 58,000 gns foal, 370,000 gns yearling, Showcasing filly. Sister to useful winner up to 6f Operatic and half-sister to winner up to 5.5f Dynamic Force and useful 2-y-o 6f winner Army Ethos. Likely type on paper. Speedily bred to be starting at 7f but this 370,000gns yearling is Group 1-entered. |
|||
5th (9)  (50/1 -127%)Modern Utopia |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Modern Utopia 50/1, Fair start in 7f Carlisle/Kempton fillies' novice, looking green. One for nurseries. Has reached the frame on both starts but the form is nothing special. |
|||
6th (3)  (80/1 -627%)Concert Party |
80/1(-627%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Concert Party 80/1, Foaled March 13. €16,000 foal, 58,000 gns yearling, Shaman filly. Half-sister to 2 winners abroad by Fascinating Rock and Make Believe. Newcomer from a yard with recent winning form in this; worth a market check. |
|||
7th (1)  (100/1 -809%)Amica |
100/1(-809%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Amica 100/1, Foaled February 12. €58,000 foal, €75,000 yearling, Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 1m winner Volcanology. Dam, 1¼m-1¾m winner, half-sister to very smart 1¼m-1¾m winner Fox Hunt. Appealing newcomer on paper. The betting should help guide to expectations with this daughter of Dark Angel. |
|||
8th (8)  (100/1 -355%)Kilteel |
100/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kilteel 100/1, Foaled February 5. 20,000 gns yearling, Sergei Prokofiev filly. Half-sister to 5f/6f winner Senado Square and winner up to 1m Zia Rosa. The other newcomers make greater paper appeal. |
|||
9th (6)  (250/1 -213%)Eye Puzzle |
250/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eye Puzzle 250/1, Well held in 7f seller/novice. Minor promise at best in two starts last month. |
|||
10th (10)  (100/1 -257%)Skyelight |
100/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Skyelight 100/1, 75,000 gns Breeze-Up purchase who made a promising start in 6f Nottingham maiden (12/1) 3 weeks ago, not knocked about having been unable to sustain her forward move. Should last longer here. Showed a bit on 6f debut but significant improvement is needed stepping up to 7f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The penny seemed to drop late for BINTABUHA when finishing second on her racecourse debut over C&D. She arrives here for the in-form William Knight yard and is taken to add to her trainer's impressive recent record. Flight is feared most after a promising runner-up effort on her first outing at Newbury and the booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye. Godolphin newcomer Desert Flower, a three-parts sister to a Group 3 juvenile winner, isn't easily discounted, with Concert Party and Amica others to note.
FLIGHT was well fancied when making a very encouraging start at Newbury, just no match for an experienced and promising winner. She looks sure to improve and can go one better with Ryan Moore up. Charlie Appleby has dominated this race and newcomer Desert Flower is of obvious interest, along with Archie Watson's Duty First. Bintabuha shaped well on debut here and will progress also.
Flight can be expected to build on her Newbury second but she was beaten 4l and preference is for Godolphin newcomer DESERT FLOWER.

(2)  (15/2 +25%)Key To Cotai |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Key To Cotai 15/2, Nottingham maiden winner (at 5f) who has continued the good work at 3 yrs, confirming the promise of her reappearance when landing a big-field 7f handicap on the Rowley in May. Strong in the betting when runner-up in listed company at Carlisle but that hasn't helped her mark. Proved stout stayer over 7f; up 11lb for handicap win and Listed second; needs even more. |
|||
(5)  (16/1 +20%)Rochelle |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rochelle 16/1, Won 7f Chelmsford maiden in November and followed up for new trainer at Kempton in May. Didn't see out 1m after racing exuberantly enough in falsely-run listed race at Longchamp and then never involved ridden with restraint in the Sandringham. Drop to 7f probably a good move. Well held over 1m at Royal Ascot; needs to show 7f is much her best trip. |
|||
1st (1)  (10/1 +17%)Asian Daze |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Asian Daze 10/1, Three-time winner over 7f who proved her stamina for 1m when pulling clear of the remainder when chasing home Everlasting at Navan. Changed hands for £200,000 after and signed off time for John Patrick Murtagh with a sound ninth in the Sandringham (wasn't seen to beat effect). This is easier. Progressive at 7f/1m; vulnerable at Royal Ascot; needs improvement back at 7f; new yard. |
|||
2nd (9)  (5/1 -25%)Lou Lou's Gift |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lou Lou's Gift 5/1, Won 6f Newcastle novice in November and confirmed the promise of her reappearance (strong form) when landing the odds over C&D a fortnight ago. Up 7 lb for that easy win and limit not yet reached. Won comfortably over C&D latest; up 7lb but could have plenty left for this yard. |
|||
3rd (8)  (14/1 -40%)Arisaig |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Arisaig 14/1, Notched up a third success, opening account on turf in the process, in Lingfield handicap last month, showing a nice turn of foot and comfortably coming clear. Shaped well in the Sandringham, confirming her mark is a lenient one. Huge player back in trip. Creditable 8th of 30 in the 1m Sandringham; return to 7f can suit; not ruled out. |
|||
4th (7)  (100/1 -809%)Not Real |
100/1(-809%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Not Real 100/1, Outclassed 6 rivals at Redcar on second start (6f) and better form when third under a penalty over 7f at Haydock, no extra late on. Could be that she's best as a sprinter and this mark asks for more but she's unexposed and in the right hands. Promising at 6f/7f; probably not seen the best of her yet; yard won 2 of last 9 runnings. |
|||
5th (11)  (100/1 -2122%)Miss Bodacious |
100/1(-2122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Miss Bodacious 100/1, Confirmed debut promise when dead-heating in 8-runner novice event at Chelmsford (6f, 11/4) in February. That race worked out well and she improved another chunk when following up on handicap debut here 3 weeks ago. Now tackles 7f and limit not yet reached. All races at 6f, impressive here in June; up 9lb in a better race over new trip. |
|||
6th (6)  (80/1 -142%)Zenjabeela |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Zenjabeela 80/1, Dual winner last summer but well held in the Rockfel/York listed fillies' race 8 months apart and she also trailed in last switched to a handicap in the Sandringham last month. Lots to prove. Two 7f wins as 2yo but failed to beat a rival in Listed race or the Sandringham this year. |
|||
7th (10)  (66/1 -450%)Divine Breath |
66/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Divine Breath 66/1, Promising type who was well suited by the return to 7f when scoring by 6 lengths in 7f Chelmsford handicap last month. Assessor reacted with 15 lb ruse but she's a promising filly in top hands. Looked good when making all in 7f AW handicap latest; up 15lb but still of interest. |
|||
8th (4)  (100/1 -1011%)Heritage House |
100/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Heritage House 100/1, Nursery winner who did well to hit the frame at huge odds in listed company on final start in November. Limitations exposed to a degree since, albeit she got some black type at Carlisle last time. New mark looks too high. Often highly tried but good 3rd (just behind Key To Cotai) in 7f Listed race latest. |
|||
9th (3)  (100/1 -1150%)Hard To Resist |
100/1(-1150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hard To Resist 100/1, Fairly useful 2-y-o, winning C&D novice on second start then third in the Group 3 Prestige at Goodwood (best effort). Pitched in quite deep on handicaps debut in the Sandringham, finishing well held but this will reveal more. Won C&D novice before Group 3 third; return to 7f can suit after 1m defeat on reappearance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
After a very impressive success over 6f at this venue last month, MISS BODACIOUS can continue her winning sequence today. Karl Burke's charge got off to a tardy start on that occasion but the daughter of Zoustar looked better the further she went and a 9lb rise doesn't appear to be out of her reach. Asian Daze has shaped as if she is capable of landing a prize of this nature and she is likely to give the selection most to think about, while Lou Lou's Gift completes the shortlist.
No fewer than 5 of these contested the Sandringham at Ascot last month with ARISAIG shaping best of them given she raced on the wrong side and was hampered. She can confirm herself to be a well-handicapped filly here, albeit there's plenty of depth to this with Lou Lou's Gift, Divine Breath and Miss Bodacious arriving on the up.
A few of these have nice prizes in them and NOT REAL is capable of further improvement if getting more cover than at Haydock last time.

33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Local Hero 33/1, Useful effort when making a winning start in handicaps at Kempton. Failed to build on it when sixth of 11 at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago but he's worth another chance. Two AW wins but only sixth at Newcastle latest; well held previous attempt on turf. |
|||
1st (5)  (12/1 -33%)First Conquest |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) First Conquest 12/1, :Made all in the Wood Ditton on his debut and he got back on track when fifth of 14 in conditions event over C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago. Hood on for his handicap debut. Possibilities. Rowley Mile winner; hood on for handicap debut; top yard has strong recent record in this. |
|||
2nd (14)  (7/1 +42%)Treasure Time |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Treasure Time 7/1, Has taken a step forward with each start in handicaps, proving better than ever when landing 10-runner event here (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Displayed a good attitude there and makes appeal again. Well clear of third when shading close finish over 7f here latest; 4lb rise looks lenient. |
|||
3rd (8)  (11/1 -22%)Liveandletlive |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Liveandletlive 11/1, On the up since sent into handicaps and bids for a hat-trick after 1m successes at Nottingham and Haydock. Up another 6 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. On a hat-trick and the form of his second win has been boosted recently; not discounted. |
|||
4th (15)  (22/1 -57%)Charming Whisper |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Charming Whisper 22/1, Progressive sort who bids for a hat-trick after 1m successes at Newbury and Yarmouth recently. This demands more off a 6 lb higher mark but he can't be ruled out. On a hat-trick after two recent 1m wins but this is significantly harder. |
|||
5th (4)  (8/1 -45%)Qirat |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Qirat 8/1, Progressive Showcasing colt who landed valuable 7f Goodwood handicap in May. Backed it up with a good sixth of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 23 days ago so he needs considering. Won valuable Goodwood handicap on return and sixth of 29 at Royal Ascot since; respected. |
|||
6th (3)  (28/1 -40%)Watcha Matey |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Watcha Matey 28/1, Already a dual winner this term, including here, and he recorded a respectable eighth of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 23 days ago. Can give another good account. Won first two starts back after gelding op; respectable eighth of 29 in Britannia since. |
|||
7th (12)  (100/1 -300%)Global Skies |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Global Skies 100/1, Arrives in decent nick, fifth of 8 to Watcha Matey in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good) 42 days ago when again hindered by a slow start. No forlorn hope if getting away on level terms. Three respectable efforts this year but this looks too hot. |
|||
8th (11)  (28/1 -180%)Daarkom |
28/1(-180%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Daarkom 28/1, Landed 7f novice at Newcastle in November and resumed from 7 months off with a good third of 10 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Since had a wind op and can improve further on his handicap debut with tongue tie added. Lacks experience but a lightly raced winner for top yard; tongue-tie added (had wind op). |
|||
9th (1)  (100/1 -733%)Arabic Legend |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Arabic Legend 100/1, Course winner who posted a very good second of 8 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good) 13 days ago, having run of race. Ought to be thereabouts. Good second on 1m1f Curragh handicap debut; smart effort is needed off clear top weight. |
|||
10th (6)  (80/1 -1131%)Volterra |
80/1(-1131%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Volterra 80/1, Looked firmly on the up when scoring on Rowley Course here in May and came home first in his group when eleventh of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 23 days ago. Remains with potential so well worth considering. Form of Rowley Mile win in May is strong; better than result at Royal Ascot since; player. |
|||
11th (9)  (50/1 -257%)Champagne Prince |
50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Champagne Prince 50/1, Looked a useful prospect when winning a pair of 7f AW novices in 2023. Came in last of 7 in Craven Stakes at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) on his return though so has something to prove now going into handicaps after a break. Found Group 3 too much on return but retains potential switched to a handicap after break. |
|||
12th (13)  (100/1 -614%)Celtic Warrior |
100/1(-614%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Celtic Warrior 100/1, Got off the mark at Kempton in April and took his form up a notch when very good second of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good) 22 days ago. Merits consideration despite taking a 2 lb weights rise. AW winner; recent Goodwood second shows he's as good on turf but others stronger here. |
|||
13th (2)  (100/1 -52%)Aafoor |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Aafoor 100/1, Fairly useful form shown when winning 14-runner minor event at Doha (8.4f, good) 100 days ago. More is needed on his handicap debut in this stiffer company. Useful form in Qatar ahead of this British and handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
ARABIC LEGEND showed a likeable attitude when second on his most recent start over 1m1f at the Curragh last month and a repeat of that effort would see him go close. Karl Burke's runner has been raised just 1lb for for that performance which appears reasonable. Qirat was well supported before running with credit in the Britannia at the Royal meeting and he could gain compensation, while First Conquest is also worth of a closer look off an opening handicap mark of 91.
This is wide open but Kevin Ryan's VOLTERRA didn't enjoy the rub of the green when first home in his group in Royal Ascot's Britannia Handicap last time and is well worth another chance to confirm himself ahead of his mark. Hat-trick seeking Liveandletlive heads the list of dangers, although a good case can be made for a host of others, including Daarkom, Arabic Legend, Qirat, Celtic Warrior and Treasure Time.
Kevin Ryan's VOLTERRA was a lot better than the result in the Britannia and is given another chance to show he's on a good mark.

(6)  (4/1 +56%)Pentle Bay |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pentle Bay 4/1, Looked a useful prospect when winning 6f Leicester maiden and, having changed hands for £400,000 ran with plenty of credit when best of the rest behind Bedtime Story in the Chesham at Royal Ascot. That form is starting to work out now and he's a definite player. Ran well behind impressive winner in the Chesham last time; open to further progress. |
|||
(8)  (9/2 +25%)The Parthenon |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Parthenon 9/2, Kingman colt who made a highly promising start pitched into the deep end when 1½ lengths fifth of 7 to Arizona Blaze in Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh. Didn't have to improve when landing odds in maiden at the Gowran last month and remains with plenty of potential. Ballydoyle colt who should build on his Gowran Park success; well bred; warrants respect. |
|||
(5)  (66/1 -100%)Pap's Turf |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pap's Turf 66/1, Put debut experience to good use when won 7-runner novice at Beverley 25 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Footwork, having run of race. This is a lot tougher and he's likely to struggle. Made all at Beverley last month but this is a much tougher assignment. |
|||
1st (1)  (5/6 +49%)Ancient Truth |
5/6(+49%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ancient Truth 5/6, Perfect start when taking 6f novice on the Rowley course here and confirmed that he's an excellent prospect when following up in a C&D novice three weeks ago. More to come and track experience can be put to good use, so he's the one to beat. Promising colt; has won a couple of Newmarket events with something to spare; big player. |
|||
2nd (7)  (14/1 -75%)Seagulls Eleven |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Seagulls Eleven 14/1, Confirmed debut promise when opening his account at Haydock last month, going away at the finish. Others have achieved more to this point but he hasn't reached his limit. Haydock winner who looks interesting with further improvement a clear possibility. |
|||
3rd (9)  (20/1 -25%)Wimbledon Hawkeye |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Wimbledon Hawkeye 20/1, Out of a winner and made the ideal start when landing a novice at Kempton with something in hand in May. Open to improvement but might find this a bit too much too soon. Won by a neck at Kempton; well down this park on bare figures but is open to progress. |
|||
4th (3)  (16/1 -129%)Columnist |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Columnist 16/1, Impressive Chester winner before a much-improved when edged out (third) in a tight finish in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. Big player if he gets the longer trip. Close third in the Coventry on latest 6f start; major player provided he stays new trip. |
|||
5th (2)  (50/1 -52%)Assertively |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Assertively 50/1, Edged ahead when justifying support in novice at Ripon and was back on track when touched off in a listed event at Deauville 6 days ago. Probably out of his depth in this, however. Ran well in 7f Listed race at Deauville last Sunday; stiffer task back on home soil. |
|||
6th (4)  (100/1 -525%)Line Of Force |
100/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Line Of Force 100/1, Scored at Ripon on debut and supplemented it with a solid performance to double his tally at Carlisle a week ago. Longer trip should pose no problem and he can do better still. Has justified favouritism in two races in the north, looking a useful prospect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
ANCIENT TRUTH is likely to be a warm order for this contest and for good reason. Charlie Appleby's juvenile is unbeaten in two starts and carried a 6lb penalty in taking fashion over track and trip last month, surging clear at the finish. With any amount of improvement to come, he looks the one to beat. Columnist finished a close-up third in the Coventry at Royal Ascot last month and that level of form sets the standard, so he has to be considered. Of the remainder, Line Of Force makes the most appeal.
ANCIENT TRUTH steps into Group company for the first time but he's looked talented and genuine to this point, while his track experience is a big plus, so he's worth siding with over The Parthenon, who remains with plenty of potential. Coventry-third Columnist is also a big player for all he's not bound to relish the step up to 7f based on pedigree.
This is the ideal target for ANCIENT TRUTH, who looks every inch a Superlative type. Pentle Bay is second choice.

1st (18)  (15/2 +32%)Aalto |
15/2(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Aalto 15/2, Useful in France and back to that sort of level for his current yard, faring easily best of those who raced up with the speed when second of 11 in 7f Haydock handicap last week. One of the more likely types. 0-6 in Britain but has encouraging form this year, close second at Haydock recently. |
|||
2nd (9)  (40/1 -150%)Lethal Levi |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lethal Levi 40/1, Course winner who has been revived by blinkers lately, making all at Newbury before a fine fourth of 25 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (both 6f). Showed he has the stamina for 7f when fourth in a big field at Ascot last autumn. Suited by this track but he's best known as a 6f handicapper; 0-4 over 7f. |
|||
3rd (13)  (22/1 +12%)Summerghand |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Summerghand 22/1, Down to his lowest mark for over 6 years and he showed better signs when third of 9 at Thirsk (6f) 10 days ago. Still effective over 7f. Has done all his winning over 6f; not the percentage call returned to 7f. |
|||
4th (3)  (11/1 -100%)Carrytheone |
11/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Carrytheone 11/1, Back to form with a bang for new yard when edging out Gorak in a big-field handicap on the Rowley course here in May. Shaped well when third of 26 in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot since, finishing with a flourish after meeting trouble. Big player off the same mark. Eyecatching third over 7f at Royal Ascot, finishing well once in the clear; big player. |
|||
5th (16)  (66/1 -230%)Darkness |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Darkness 66/1, 15/2, career best when winning 10-runner C&D handicap (good to firm) 16 days ago, driven out to score by 3 lengths. A 6 lb penalty demands another lifetime best. 0-14 in this grade but has the ideal scenario, being 2-2 at this course; possibilities. |
|||
6th (4)  (100/1 -300%)Talis Evolvere |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Talis Evolvere 100/1, Successful twice on AW and went on to land a valuable Newcastle handicap (1m) in March. Continued the good work back on turf when third in competitive events at Newbury but well held in the Royal Hunt Cup last month. Useful handicapper at about 1m; form dipped last time; something to prove back over 7f. |
|||
7th (1)  (80/1 -900%)Awaal |
80/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Awaal 80/1, Smart performer who was placed in the Lincoln, Royal Hunt Cup and this race last year. On the wrong side when well held in the Balmoral final start so it's easy to ignore that run. Tongue tie added and goes well fresh, so he's worthy of interest. Placed in three major handicaps last term, including this one off 3lb higher; reappearance. |
|||
8th (6)  (28/1 +0%)Bless Him |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bless Him 28/1, Won this in 2022 and fourth last year. Good third in the Victoria Cup on Ascot reappearance. Below that level in his 2 outings since but his record in this makes him a dangerous one to discount. Losing spell goes back to his success (off 2lb higher) in this race two years ago. |
|||
9th (5)  (22/1 -38%)Ropey Guest |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ropey Guest 22/1, Runner-up in the last 2 runnings of this and recorded another fine effort in a top handicap when fifth of 21 in Victoria Cup at Ascot on reappearance. Prominent for a long way in the Royal Hunt Cup there last month and likely still in form. Has form figures of 822 in this contest; faces a harder task off current mark. |
|||
10th (12)  (66/1 -780%)Divine Libra |
66/1(-780%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Divine Libra 66/1, Had a solid 3-y-o season and took it up another notch with a 7f Chester win in May. Followed that with a good third to Carrytheone and Gorak on the Rowley course here 10 days later. Shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 26 in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot since. On the shortlist. Better than ever this season; ties in with some of these rivals; enters the reckoning. |
|||
11th (15)  (100/1 -300%)Spirit Genie |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Spirit Genie 100/1, Has shown improved form this year, making it back-to-back wins when getting up late to score at Chester (7f, soft) in May. Was suited by the way the race developed last time and he's in a much deeper here. Two wins in May took his record for current yard to 3-8; this is a harder assignment. |
|||
12th (19)  (80/1 -220%)Yorkshire |
80/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Yorkshire 80/1, Resumed with 7f Thirsk success before an excellent second of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June. Below par when stepped up to 1m at Nottingham since and the return to 7f ought to see him to better effect. Has useful 7f form and may have more to offer back at this trip. |
|||
13th (11)  (100/1 -300%)Dark Thirty |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Dark Thirty 100/1, Likeable sort who posted a career-best effort on back of 6 months off when landing 18-runner Rowley course handicap (6f) in April. Third back there next time but needs to shrug off lesser runs since. Has a good record at the Newmarket tracks but current mark demands a career best. |
|||
14th (17)  (100/1 -100%)Londoner |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Londoner 100/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 11 days ago. Not an obvious one on recent efforts. Useful for Aidan O'Brien; unconvincing form for new stable. |
|||
15th (7)  (100/1 -525%)Percy's Lad |
100/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Percy's Lad 100/1, Likeable type who justified support when making all at Chester last in May. Raced away from the main action and shaped as if still in good form in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot since. Better than bare result in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot (first of two on far side). |
|||
16th (20)  (100/1 -150%)Abduction |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (20) Abduction 100/1, Just the one creditable effort to his name from 5 starts this year. The return to 7f is in his favour after racing too freely over 1m last time but he's still hard to make a case for. Remains on last winning mark but looks far from solid on 2024 form. |
|||
17th (8)  (100/1 -203%)Finn's Charm |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Finn's Charm 100/1, Has a rather hit-and-miss profile, running up to his best when making all at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in June but tailed off in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot since. Poor claims, having trailed home last of 26 in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot. |
|||
18th (2)  (50/1 -317%)Mostabshir |
50/1(-317%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mostabshir 50/1, Smart handicapper who was a respectable fourth of 26 in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot 23 days ago. Should be in the mix from the same mark. Respectable fourth in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot, albeit with a better trip than some. |
|||
19th (10)  (100/1 -1011%)Gorak |
100/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Gorak 100/1, Dual 7f winner in the first half of last season and returned with a pair of good efforts on the Rowley course here this spring, pushing Carrytheone close latterly. Not seen to best effect in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot since and likely remains at the top of his game. On the shortlist. Respectable seventh in this race last year; now 9lb lower; attractively handicapped. |
|||
20th (14)  (100/1 -100%)Mustajaab |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Mustajaab 100/1, Made it 2-2 on the AW when scoring with plenty to spare on return/first run since being gelded at Southwell (7f) in April. Hasn't really been seen to best effect on turf since but whether he's well handicapped enough to make an impact in a race like this remains to be seen. 2-2 on AW; only 1-11 on turf and was comfortably held at Royal Ascot latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
CARRYTHEONE beat plenty of these rivals when having a troubled passage to hit the frame in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot last month and the seven-year-old goes off the same mark. Ryan Moore, who takes over in the saddle, landed this contest 12 months ago on Biggles and Michael Bell's gelding is more than capable of making amends. Mostabshir finished a place behind the selection that day and commands plenty of respect, while Awaal and Aalto are others to keep an eye on in a wide-open heat.
CARRYTHEONE did remarkably well to get third in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot given the trouble he met and can gain compensation from the same mark. Second choice is Gorak, who is closely matched with the selection on Rowley course form in the spring and is another who didn't enjoy the rub of the green in the Buckingham Palace. Aalto, Divine Libra and last year's third Awaal also make the shortlist.
The vote goes to AALTO (nap), who has been shaping with promise and gives the impression his turn is near. Gorak is second choice.

(6)  (11/1 -38%)Regional |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Regional 11/1, Took his form to a new level last season, making it 3 wins from 4 starts in Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup in September. Shaped well when second to Mitbaahy in Group 2 at the Curragh (6f) on return and then ran up to best when filling same spot in King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot. Solid contender. Won last year's Haydock Sprint Cup; creditable second in both runs this term; in the mix. |
|||
1st (4)  (12/1 +14%)Mill Stream |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mill Stream 12/1, Classy sprinter who built on his fine reappearance run with a last-gasp success in the Duke of York Stakes at York in May. Ran creditably when third of 13 to Khaadem in Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot last time, though was beaten fair and square. Solid record this term, most recently third in 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot; not ruled out. |
|||
2nd (7)  (22/1 +12%)Swingalong |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Swingalong 22/1, Won Group 3 Summer Stakes at York in July last year. Acquitted herself with plenty of credit in Group 1s either side of that victory and stepped up considerably on her reappearance when second of 13 to Khaadem in Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f). Has a consistent record in Group 1 races; second to Khaadem at Royal Ascot latest. |
|||
3rd (12)  (9/2 +0%)Vandeek |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Vandeek 9/2, Went from strength-to-strength as a 2-y-o, which culminated with an impressive success in the Middle Park at Newmarket (6f). Failed to reproduce that form when third to Inisherin in Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock on return and missed Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot with abnormal blood count. Soft ground possibly not ideal on sole run this term; otherwise an exciting prospect. |
|||
4th (1)  (80/1 -186%)Art Power |
80/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Art Power 80/1, Very talented on his day, winning twice at the Curragh last season and signing off with success in the Group 1 on Champions' Day. Solid close fourth to Mitbaahy at first-named track in May but was well below his best in Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot won by Khaadem last time. Fourth in this race in 2021 and 2023; behind several of these opponents on latest start. |
|||
5th (9)  (28/1 -918%)Inisherin |
28/1(-918%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Inisherin 28/1, Has proved a revelation dropped to sprinting, producing a very smart effort when making all in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock before picking up impressively to land Commonweath Cup at Royal Ascot, justifying his connections decision to supplement him. Very much the one to beat. Two convincing wins since dropped to 6f, latest in the Commonwealth Cup; highly respected. |
|||
6th (10)  (12/1 +14%)Jasour |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Jasour 12/1, Group 2 winner at this meeting (6f) last summer. Bombed out in the Morny and Middle Park subsequently but got his career firmly back on track when landing Pavilion Stakes in May and better than the bare result when third to Inisherin in Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot since. Good third to Inisherin in the Commonwealth Cup; won the July Stakes here a year ago. |
|||
7th (8)  (125/1 -89%)Vadream |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Vadream 125/1, Smart mare whose form has been decidedly patchy this year, never on terms when fifth of 13 to Khaadem in Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (100/1) at Royal Ascot (6f) on most recent outing. Others preferred kept to this level. Suited by soft/heavy; comfortably held in this contest last year; Group 1 record is 0-9. |
|||
8th (3)  (20/1 -186%)Kinross |
20/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kinross 20/1, Very smart sort who held his form terrifically well last season and signed off with an excellent effort going for a repeat win in the Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot. Shaped as if retaining all ability when second in Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle on return and was a good third in this last year. Grand campaigner; good chance on peak form; finished third in this race 12 months ago. |
|||
9th (11)  (14/1 -100%)River Tiber |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) River Tiber 14/1, Smart at 2, including a win in the Coventry Stakes. Showed he's trained on well when third to Rosallion in Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh (1m, good) on reappearance. First poor run of his career in Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot last time and now drops back to sprinting. Trainer has won this prize a few times with 3yos dropping back to sprinting; shortlisted. |
|||
10th (2)  (25/1 +0%)Khaadem |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Khaadem 25/1, Proved better than ever at the age of 8 when springing a surprise in 13-runner Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago by ½ length from Swingalong, winning readily. However, there has to be a doubt whether he'll repeat that form. Unlikely to follow up his latest Royal Ascot success; beaten twice in this contest. |
|||
11th (5)  (100/1 -355%)Mitbaahy |
100/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mitbaahy 100/1, Smart sort who benefited from the step back up in trip when finishing strongly to land the Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh in May. Run off his feet back on a sounder surface when only seventh of 13 to Khaadem in Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot last time. Never landed a blow at Royal Ascot last time, taking Group 1 form figures to 887. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Inisherin (first) got the better of JASOUR (third) when the pair met in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last month and, though the former was undoubtedly impressive on that occasion, it may pay to side with the latter. It was a testament to his ability that he was able to finish third, despite plenty going wrong in the aforementioned contest, breaking awkwardly before racing too keenly throughout. Granted a smoother passage this time around, Clive Cox's C&D winner should make a bold bid to reverse form here. High-class operator Vandeek is on the comeback trail after a below-par effort in the Sandy Lane at Haydock, while River Tiber merits respect back down to arguably his optimum trip.
INISHERIN is potentially the dominant 6f performer judged on his impressive Commonwealth Cup success and, with the obvious potential for further improvement on just his third start at the trip, there's no real urge to take him on. Regional is a tough and most likeable sort who warrants plenty of respect, with Jasour, who shaped better than the bare result behind the selection last time, taken to fill the places.
Improving 3yo INISHERIN is taken to bag another major prize. Fellow 3yos Vandeek and River Tiber are interesting rivals.

(8)  (17/2 -89%)Ciro Di Marzio |
17/2(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ciro Di Marzio 17/2, Left soft-ground Leicester debut run well behind when winning 7f Kempton novice in October and progressed again after 8 months off when fourth of 7 in course novice (10f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Capable of better still now handicapping with Ryan Moore booked. Thrice-raced colt; pleasing reappearance here; big player for last year's winning stable. |
|||
1st (9)  (7/1 -75%)Lord Of Love |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lord Of Love 7/1, Went one better than at Windsor but clearly has quirks that aren't disappearing with experience, quickening clear well inside final 1f despite wandering/carrying head bit awkwardly when leading under 2f out. Now sent handicapping upped in trip and clearly has stacks of ability. Has to be considered after winning Salisbury maiden last month in first-time cheekpieces. |
|||
2nd (11)  (5/1 -25%)Wonder Kid |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Wonder Kid 5/1, Steadily progressive at 2 yrs and he found the marked step up in trip firmly in his favour when successful on return/handicap debut at Newbury (12f) last month. Brushed off a quick turnaround to follow up under a penalty over C&D just over 3 weeks ago and there's surely better to come. 2-2 in handicaps this year, again impressive over C&D on latest; leading contender. |
|||
3rd (7)  (7/1 +13%)Goodwood Odyssey |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Goodwood Odyssey 7/1, Took his career record to 2-3 when producing a useful performance in 1¼m Sandown handicap in April but found it much tougher from a 7 lb higher mark at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 8 weeks ago. Needs to get back on track after a break. 2-3 on turf; no obvious excuses last time but still lightly raced and this trip may suit. |
|||
4th (10)  (14/1 -100%)Spaceport |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Spaceport 14/1, Lightly raced and relished the step up to this trip when scoring in game fashion at Leicester last month. Pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up at Salisbury (12f, good to firm) 17 days ago and he remains of interest despite a 5 lb rise. Improving steadily, Leicester winner then Salisbury second; in the mix once more. |
|||
5th (4)  (25/1 -79%)Parlando |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Parlando 25/1, Scored at Sakhir in February and posted a respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to soft) just over 4 weeks ago. Considered back in class 3 company. Engaged 3.50 York Friday. Not at his best since returning to Britain in March. |
|||
6th (12)  (100/1 -300%)Love You Darling |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Love You Darling 100/1, Off the mark at the fifth time of asking in 1¼m Bath novice event in May but seemingly no longer progressing, third of 5 on handicap/all-weather debut at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 23 days ago. More needed back on turf. Consistent; third at Wolverhampton last time; faces much higher calibre of rival here. |
|||
7th (3)  (100/1 -203%)Graphite |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Graphite 100/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Some respectable placed efforts on AW at the end of 2023 but off since a below-form sixth of 11 at Kempton (2m) in February. Drops back in trip and has had a wind op since last seen. Veteran; on a long losing sequence; has had wind surgery since last run. |
|||
8th (5)  (100/1 -1718%)Poniros |
100/1(-1718%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Poniros 100/1, Won 1m Nottingham maiden on debut last autumn and has progressed in defeat, impressing with his move into the race before finding one too strong in London Gold Cup at Newbury (10f) in May. Too free upped to 1½m at Royal Ascot since, but still appeals as a well-treated sort. Plenty to like. Has form in competitive races and still looks unexposed; high on the list. |
|||
9th (1)  (100/1 -900%)Andaleep |
100/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Andaleep 100/1, Proved better than ever in registering a twelfth career success at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 12 days ago, finding it easier than the competitive, big-field handicaps he'd contested at York. Was competitive from marks in the mid-90s last season, so he's certainly not ruled out. Fine servant; Windsor winner 12 days ago; meets some unexposed rivals here. |
|||
10th (6)  (100/1 -614%)Thundering |
100/1(-614%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Thundering 100/1, Took advantage of his reduced mark at Ayr last September but hasn't gone on from that effort. However, he's becoming well handicapped and took a step back in the right direction when third of 12 at Carlisle (11.2f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Not one to write off if he can build on that. None too reliable but better signs last time; well treated on best form and not ruled out. |
|||
11th (2)  (125/1 -400%)Pleasant Man |
125/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pleasant Man 125/1, Finally ended his run of places over hurdles 4 months on from ending a spell back on the Flat at Fakenham last month but was disappointing under a penalty at Stratford 16 days later. Returns to the level and the likelihood is he'll find a few too good. Below par over hurdles when last seen and has something to prove back in this sphere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The step up in trip can be the making of LORD OF LOVE, who won going away in first-time cheekpieces over 1m2f at Salisbury last month, and the well-bred son of Dubawi gets the vote to make his handicap debut a winning one. Ciro Di Marzio wasn't disgraced when fourth in a novice event here last month and it would be no surprise to see him feature, especially with the extra couple of furlongs to potentially suit. Recent C&D winner Wonder Kid completes the shortlist, despite an 8lb hike asking a question of him.
Plenty in with a squeak but preference is for WONDER KID, who made it 2-2 in handicaps over C&D just over 3 weeks ago, and with surely better still to come, he's one to keep onside. Ralph Beckett won this last year and he saddles a couple of interesting colts in Ciro di Marzio and Poniros, so they head up the opposition, with Lord of Love another to consider provided he keeps his quirks in check.
This should go to one of the 3yos and Hugo Palmer's progressive gelding WONDER KID gets the vote ahead of Spaceport.
