---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (8.5/1 +15%) Silver Samurai |
8.5/1(+15%) | (1) Silver Samurai 8.5/1, Dual 6f winner last season who has been operating below best in the main this season but definite step back in right direction when fifth in 9-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, faring best of those held up. Well handicapped if he can put it all together. Showed positive signs over C&D three weeks ago; possibilities if building on that effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3/1 +25%) Divine Libra |
3/1(+25%) | (5) Divine Libra 3/1, Impressive when opening account at Catterick (7f) in April and career-best display when doubling career tally in handicap at Chester (6f, heavy) in July. Fine third in class 2 C&D handicap followed 3 weeks ago and claims operating from same mark. Suited by drop to 6f last month, winning at Chester then third here; commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 +29%) Mister Bluebird |
10/1(+29%) | (3) Mister Bluebird 10/1, Versatile sort who resumed winning ways at Goodwood (7f) in June. Creditable efforts next 2 starts whilst suggesting handicapper has him about right and probably found International handicap too tough at Ascot on latest run 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on. Last two wins over 7f; not disgraced on last 6f attempt but this looks a difficult task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Mitrosonfire |
4.5/1(+36%) | (2) Mitrosonfire 4.5/1, Won this race back in 2021 and ended last season with a string of consistent efforts on turf/AW up to 7f whilst looking in the grip of the assessor. Steadily back to form in 4 starts this term and this rates more suitable than his latest assignment in the International handicap at Ascot. Successful twice off this mark at this course, including in this race two years ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 -20%) Celtic Champion |
6/1(-20%) | (4) Celtic Champion 6/1, 6f novice winner as a juvenile who dispelled a lesser effort at Southwell (6f) in January when running out a good winner at Lingfield (6f) a month later, overcoming the run of the race. Gelded subsequently and he may yet have more to offer back on turf. Won AW contest when last seen; gelded since; less exposed than most; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (7.5/1 -15%) Strike |
7.5/1(-15%) | (11) Strike 7.5/1, Landed this race from a 3 lb lower mark 12 months ago and gradually worked his way back to form in recent months, pushing a well-treated sort close over 7f here 4 weeks ago. Just the one win to his name but no surprise to see him give a good account. Went close over 7f here last month; sole win came in this race last year; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (28/1 +30%) Brian The Snail |
28/1(+30%) | (15) Brian The Snail 28/1, Not the force of old but confirmed previous promise when registering easy success at Ripon (5f) in June. Back to that sort of form when third at Carlisle (5.8f) last month and raced on wrong part of track when eighth at Bath (5.7f) 10 days ago. Still, this a tough ask. Sole win for current yard came in lower grade; opposed in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (14/1 -17%) Secret Guest |
14/1(-17%) | (7) Secret Guest 14/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 6/1) in May, drawing clear quickly. Creditable third at Nottingham thereafter and essentially lost all chance with a very slow start at York (6f) later in June. Remains early days. Has low mileage and could still have more to offer; best form on good/firmer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (16) (80/1 -100%) Lethal Angel |
80/1(-100%) | (16) Lethal Angel 80/1, Successful 3 times at Brighton (5.2f) upon joining this yard during second half of last season. However, not fired in trio of starts so far this time around, including in change of headgear at Epsom latest. Visor refitted now. Fourth in this contest in 2019 but was in much better form at the time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (22/1 -10%) Devil's Angel |
22/1(-10%) | (9) Devil's Angel 22/1, Dual 5f/6f winner in 2022 who wasn't disgraced when third at Beverley (5f) on penultimate start in June. However, proved disappointing at York (6f) 5 weeks ago and whilst he's fallen to a handy mark, he's not looked like capitalising of late. Respectable fifth in this contest two years ago; far from solid on 2023 form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (22/1 -83%) Masterclass |
22/1(-83%) | (12) Masterclass 22/1, Never fired first 3 starts this term but capitalised on drop in grade/returned to sprinting when landing 4-runner Yarmouth handicap (6f) 9 days ago. More on his plate back up in class, however. Regained the winning thread at Yarmouth last week; not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (14/1 -40%) Music Society |
14/1(-40%) | (6) Music Society 14/1, Signed off 2022 with a heavy-ground success at Catterick. Failed to add to tally this year though shaped as if back in form when fifth in handicap at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 2 weeks ago, closing from further back than ideal. Operating from last winning mark. 0-10 this term but still retains a good deal of ability; back on last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (9/1 +10%) Magical Max |
9/1(+10%) | (8) Magical Max 9/1, Well backed and belatedly capitalised on falling mark in 7f handicap here in June, doing plenty wrong early but showing good attitude to prevail. Seemingly kept fresh since and revised mark shouldn't prevent him going well again. Justified favouritism in 7f handicap here eight weeks ago; has won over 6f; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (14) (80/1 -60%) Gunmetal |
80/1(-60%) | (14) Gunmetal 80/1, Veteran. C&D winner who has been lightly raced in recent season and he offered little following 16 months off on debut for this yard at Doncaster (6f) 23 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind if he's to play a part in this stronger affair. Veteran who looks a shadow of his former self; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (100/1 -203%) Blue Flame |
100/1(-203%) | (13) Blue Flame 100/1, Raced mostly on AW and yet to fully fire for current yard, well below best in a C&D handicap on just his second turf start 15 days ago. Campaigned mostly on AW; finished last in C&D event two weeks ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This represents a drop in grade for the largely unexposed DIVINE LIBRA after a strong placed effort over C&D last month and the three-year-old can take advantage in this unique handicap. Not in action since scoring at Lingfield in February, Celtic Champion is a key player, along with Music Society, who has been running into form of late. 2021 winner Mitrosonfire is another to note, as well as Magical Max and Mister Bluebird.
CELTIC CHAMPION has been absent since February but he impressed when doubling his career tally at Lingfield on that occasion and, appealing as being on a handy mark returned to turf, Andrew Balding's 3-y-o remains one to be positive about. Magical Max belatedly cashed in on his much-reduced mark over 7f here in June and he can also figure with a 56-day break no problem. Low-mileage Divine Libra, Silver Samurai and last year's winner Strike complete the shortlist.
This year's race for greys has attracted a particularly competitive field. DIVINE LIBRA is the selection ahead of Strike.

Dark Dreamer |
(3) (28/1 +15%)28/1(+15%) | (3) Dark Dreamer 28/1, 50,000 gns foal, 45,000 gns 2-y-o, Oasis Dream colt. Brother to useful winner up to 1m Tomorrow's Dream and half-brother to useful 1m winner Three Weeks. Dam unraced close relative of Irish St Leger winner Royal Diamond. 66/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (6f) on debut 18 days ago. Behind two of these rivals at Goodwood on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (2) (0.15/1 +58%) Array |
0.15/1(+58%) | (2) Array 0.15/1, No Nay Never colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 1m winner Maximal and 6f/7f winner Jubiloso, both smart. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to Frankel. Showed plenty when runner-up at Newbury/Goodwood and should make another bold bid. Solid second in both runs, latest at Glorious Goodwood; holds leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (14/1 +30%) Robbo |
14/1(+30%) | (5) Robbo 14/1, £40,000 yearling, Camacho colt. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to Preis der Diana winner Mystic Lips, runner-up in German 1000 Guineas. Seventh of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to soft, 22/1) on debut 18 days ago. Has about 9l to find with runner-up Array on Goodwood running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (18/1 -50%) Rogue Enforcer |
18/1(-50%) | (6) Rogue Enforcer 18/1, Foaled March 27. 27,000 gns yearling, Profitable colt. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 7f Finjaan out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner Alhufoof. 27,000gns yearling; by Profitable; market helpful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (80/1 -21%) Serendipitous Lady |
80/1(-21%) | (8) Serendipitous Lady 80/1, €25,000 foal, €50,000 yearling, Advertise filly. Dam French 7f/1m winner (including at 2 yrs). Last of 14 in maiden (66/1) at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 8 days ago. Inauspicious debut in C&D maiden last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (8/1 -100%) Hand Jive |
8/1(-100%) | (4) Hand Jive 8/1, Foaled April 12. Blue Point colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Buratino and useful 7f/1m winner Smile A Mile. Dam 1m/8.2f winner. One to note. Blue Point half-brother to five winners, notably Buratino; interesting debutant. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 +18%) Shalabam |
33/1(+18%) | (7) Shalabam 33/1, Better effort when eighth of 11 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Down in trip. Needs to improve plenty for this drop to sprinting. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ARRAY may have been turned over at very short odds when making his second start at Goodwood, but that could turn out to be a hot maiden and he should be able to strike in much calmer waters on this occasion. Robbo offered some encouragement on debut, also at the Glorious meeting but newcomer Hand Jive, a half-brother to the stable's Coventry winner Buratino, might pose the biggest danger.
ARRAY is the clear form pick after 2 runner-up efforts on his first 2 starts, and he's going to be tough to beat. Hand Jive is the interesting newcomer.
Juddmonte colt ARRAY is taken to open his account. Newcomer Hand Jive is feared most.

1st (3) (6/1 +0%) Lincoln Legacy |
6/1(+0%) | (3) Lincoln Legacy 6/1, Footstepsinthesand filly who made a winning debut at Kempton in May and ran to a similar level when third at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 3 weeks later. Failed to progress for the step up to this trip on nursery bow at Goodwood but was still in need of the experience. Failed to get home in 7f nursery on soft going at Glorious Goodwood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.5/1 +38%) Expensive Queen |
2.5/1(+38%) | (1) Expensive Queen 2.5/1, Lope De Vega filly who had a bit in hand when making a winning debut at Haydock. Failed to progress up in grade at Sandown next time but it remains early days and she may yet do better. Debut scorer at Haydock then faced difficult task in Listed grade; may do better still. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (1.75/1 +22%) Lady Wulfrun |
1.75/1(+22%) | (2) Lady Wulfrun 1.75/1, Continued theme of run-to-run progression when opening her account in 9-runner C&D event on her nursery debut last week, suited by step up in trip. May do better still and looks to have an excellent chance of following up. Justified favouritism over C&D last Saturday on nursery debut; steadily improving. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (6/1 -20%) Crocus Time |
6/1(-20%) | (5) Crocus Time 6/1, Fair form when placed all 4 starts, latest in 14-runner novice event at this course (6f). Should remain competitive on handicap bow. Very consistent thus far and has two pieces of course form; solid contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (40/1 -150%) Rating |
40/1(-150%) | (4) Rating 40/1, Ran to a fair level when third on second start at Kempton in July. Flying too high in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f) but was well held back at a realistic level here on most recent outing. Needs to get back on track now handicapping. Failed to beat a rival here last month; peak RPR came on sole AW run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (10/1 -25%) Buttercross Flyer |
10/1(-25%) | (7) Buttercross Flyer 10/1, Improved on debut form when runner-up at Catterick in July but could only run to a similar level when filling same spot there (7f, good) 11 days ago. More needed on handicap debut. Creditable second at Catterick in last two maiden runs; could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (20/1 -25%) Lucy Lockett |
20/1(-25%) | (8) Lucy Lockett 20/1, Has shown some promise in her qualifying runs but didn't last out at Doncaster last time. 3 lb out of the handicap. May struggle at this level; eligible for much weaker nurseries than this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
EXPENSIVE QUEEN may have finished fifth in Listed company at Sandown last time out, but the form of that race looks very strong and a mark of 82 could prove lenient on her nursery debut. She is narrowly preferred to Lady Wulfrun, who got off the mark with a determined success over C&D last week. Buttercross Flyer and Crocus Time are key players on the form they have shown as well.
LADY WULFRUN was well suited by the step up in trip when opening her account over C&D last week and is selected to defy a 6 lb higher mark with further progress on the cards. Lincoln Legacy and Expensive Queen look most interesting of the opposition.
Improving filly LADY WULFRUN (nap) has strong claims. Solid-looking handicap debutante Crocus Time is feared most.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Night Sparkle |
4.5/1(-29%) | (1) Night Sparkle 4.5/1, Backed up success over hurdles with victories in handicaps at Fairyhouse (1¾m) and Newbury (13f) in recent months. Another 3 lb higher but further progress can't be discounted in current mood. More to prove on softer than good; progressive 4yo who's won over extended 1m5f last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (6.5/1 +19%) Grand Providence |
6.5/1(+19%) | (11) Grand Providence 6.5/1, Nathaniel filly who is going the right way, winning 11f Kempton novice and 2m Doncaster handicap this summer. Good third over this trip at Sandown last time. Ought to figure again. Rallying third at Sandown (1m6f, heavy) in hat-trick bid but needs to resume improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (2/1 +33%) Mistressofillusion |
2/1(+33%) | (9) Mistressofillusion 2/1, Progressive form, proving well suited by the step up to 1½m when comfortably getting off the mark in novice company at Kempton 10 days ago. Likely more to come now stepping up in trip again for handicap debut. Progressive in novice events, clearcut winner when upped to 1m4f at Kempton (AW) latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (16/1 -45%) Sid's Annie |
16/1(-45%) | (7) Sid's Annie 16/1, Has her quirks but she's well capable when in the mood, winning for the fourth time this year when seeing off 7 rivals in a 1½m Class 5 here 15 days ago. 5 lb higher in a stronger race now and also has stamina to prove. Four wins this year, latest with a late bid here when upped to 1m4f; soft would be a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (12/1 -41%) Single |
12/1(-41%) | (5) Single 12/1, Has run with credit in defeat this term but remains 2 lb above the mark she defied in a less competitive renewal of this race last year. 3-45 strike-rate but reliable; 2nd and 1st in last two editions of this, in small fields. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (22/1 +0%) Haizoom |
22/1(+0%) | (8) Haizoom 22/1, Winning start for this yard over 2m at Ripon in June but she's failed to reproduce that form since, beaten under 13 lengths when fourth at Hamilton (13f) a fortnight ago. Won four-runner race on stable debut at Ripon (2m) in June but that's her best run of 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (8.5/1 +39%) Haseefah |
8.5/1(+39%) | (3) Haseefah 8.5/1, Scored twice over 1½m last spring. Creditable efforts this term but remains 2 lb above her last successful mark. First attempt at 1¾m. Continues to run with credit, albeit in defeat since May 2022; not proven beyond 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (18/1 -50%) Divina Grace |
18/1(-50%) | (10) Divina Grace 18/1, Resumed with 1¼m success at Chepstow in June and placed in handicaps on next 2 starts, latterly behind Night Sparkle at Newbury (13f). Easy to put a line through her run in a Goodwood Group 2 since. Cheekpieces added. Rallying third to Night Sparkle over an extended 1m5f at Newbury (good); first headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (8.5/1 -21%) Greysful Storm |
8.5/1(-21%) | (6) Greysful Storm 8.5/1, Much improved to win easily on handicap debut in 17-runner event at Newbury in May. Not up to the King George Handicap at Royal Ascot the following month but back on track with her sights lowered when runner-up back at Ascot (1½m) 5 weeks ago. Up in trip. Never-nearer second at Ascot (1m4f, good to soft) suggests that this trip may well suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (25/1 -25%) Secret Shadow |
25/1(-25%) | (2) Secret Shadow 25/1, Four-time winner for Andrew Balding. Better effort for new yard this term when 2½ lengths fifth of 7 to reopposing Night Sparkle at Newbury (13f, good) 29 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has won on good to soft, soft and heavy; suited by about 1m6f; probably on the premises. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (10/1 +38%) Malakahna |
10/1(+38%) | (4) Malakahna 10/1, Won over 2m at Ascot and on the Rowley Course here last autumn. Performed with credit when placed 3 times back on the Flat this summer but latest Ascot run was disappointing. Bounce back needed in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces). In good form before a heavy defeat over 2m on soft on latest outing; change of headgear. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Greysful Storm ran very well when second over 1m4f at Ascot last time and the winner of that race has since franked the form by running with credit in Listed company subsequently, but upped 2lb in the ratings, she may be vulnerable to some better-treated rivals such as MISTRESSOFILLUSION. Ralph Beckett's filly made a mockery of her opening handicap mark over 1m4f at Kempton on her previous outing and she appears likely to defy a 5lb rise. Hat-trick seeking Night Sparkle should also be taken seriously.
If there's one in this line-up which could be well ahead of its mark it's surely MISTRESSOFILLUSION, who won readily in novice company recently and can follow up on handicap debut for the very much in-form Ralph Beckett stable. Fellow 3-y-o Grand Providence is second choice ahead of the thriving Night Sparkle.
Staying on well over 1m4f on good to soft at Ascot last time suggests that this race is a suitable target for GREYSFUL STORM.

Lady Of Arabia |
(3) (2/1 +43%)2/1(+43%) | (3) Lady Of Arabia 2/1, Steadily improving filly who doubled career tally at Haydock (10.2f) in June. Better than bare result when fourth back at that venue next time and posted another solid effort when runner-up at Kempton (1m) 5 days ago. Claims turned out quickly back at 10f. Versatile and largely consistent; good second in AW event on Monday; solid chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Outgun |
(5) (2.25/1 +0%)2.25/1(+0%) | (5) Outgun 2.25/1, Positives to glean from his 3 starts on the AW last year and opening mark is workable judged on exploits in handicaps this summer, finishing with running left when fourth in a race that looks strong form at Newbury (1m) 4 weeks ago. One to consider up in trip with more to come. Latest effort needs marking up (met major traffic issues; eyecatcher); interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Barrolo |
(7) (4.5/1 +31%)4.5/1(+31%) | (7) Barrolo 4.5/1, Different proposition gelded/switched to handicaps this term, coming in for a well-judged ride to make it 3 wins from 4 starts at Musselburgh (9f) 25 days ago. That unlikely to prove his limit and very much of interest again. Has form figures of 1121, all in Class 6, since handicapping; may improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Blue Universe |
(1) (6/1 +29%)6/1(+29%) | (1) Blue Universe 6/1, Much improved on return from wind surgery when shading a tight finish at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in April. Failed to translate that improvement to turf since but can have latest run at Chester overlooked 7 weeks ago, repeatedly short of room. Goes without headgear this time. AW winner in April; has failed to progress since but this drop back in grade may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bailar Contigo |
(8) (11/1 -57%)11/1(-57%) | (8) Bailar Contigo 11/1, Got the hang of things at a low level of late, off the mark at Yarmouth prior to following up in Bath handicap (10f) last month. Edged out only late on in hat-trick bid at Lingfield (9f) 3 weeks ago and whilst he's clearly thriving, this is definitely tougher. Has form figures of 3112 since wearing a tongue-tie; hard to dismiss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Classic Speed |
(2) (14/1 +22%)14/1(+22%) | (2) Classic Speed 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden who, having been gelded, fared no better than previously this term when seventh of 9 in handicap at Windsor (1m) 3 weeks ago. Needs to find some improvement for the step up in trip now. Has something to prove against some in-form rivals but the new trip may suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BARROLO has been an ultra-consistent performer in handicap company this term and another bold bid can be expected. Grant Tuer's charge won more cosily than the neck winning distance would suggest at Musselburgh and this step up in trip could squeeze out more improvement. Bailar Contigo is feared most after being just touched off over 1m1f at Lingfield last time, while Leitrim Rock can get involved on his handicap bow.
Not for the first time, OUTGUN shaped better than the bare result when fourth in a Newbury handicap that rates strong form 4 weeks ago and, with the increase in trip rating a likely plus, Alan King's charge is fancied to prove his mark a workable one. Lady of Arabia should appreciate the return to further and is feared along with another thriving sort Barrolo. Leitrim Rock, on handicap debut, is also respected in a hot 3-y-o contest.
Granted better fortune OUTGUN looks capable of getting off the mark. Ranger Thunderbolt is second choice.

Greycious Anna |
(5) (3/1 +75%)3/1(+75%) | (5) Greycious Anna 3/1, Responded well to this headgear when close fifth at Newcastle earlier this month but underperformed back up to a trip that had promised to suit at Haydock (8.2f, good) 7 days ago. Weakened in 1m race last Saturday; best form remains at 7f. |

Astronomica |
(10) (4.5/1 -29%)4.5/1(-29%) | (10) Astronomica 4.5/1, Gained her first success at Windsor in May and made it 2 wins from her last 3 starts when scoring at Leicester (8.2f, soft) last month, showing improved form to turn the tables on Haaf A Diamond returned to softer ground. Shortlisted from a 6 lb higher mark. Has form figures of 121 this term; now upped in grade but is open to further progress. |

Lady Wormsley |
(7) (4.5/1 -29%)4.5/1(-29%) | (7) Lady Wormsley 4.5/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) just over 7 weeks ago, impressing with her attitude with Murphy taking over in the saddle. Nudged up just 2 lb and looks sure to go well again. Off the mark at Doncaster seven weeks ago; still unexposed on turf; respected. |

(2) (5.5/1 +45%)5.5/1(+45%) | (2) Gone 5.5/1, Already posted 4 wins from 10 runs this year, latest at Bath in June. Turned in a rare poor effort during what has been an excellent season at Leicester (7f, soft) 17 days ago so needs to bounce back quickly. Has stopped progressing since her last win; opposed off high weight. |

Victoria Falls |
(8) (5.5/1 +0%)5.5/1(+0%) | (8) Victoria Falls 5.5/1, Had dropped to her last winning mark and wasted no time getting back to form when runner-up to a thriving sort at Doncaster (8f, soft) last month. In the mix once again. AW scorer in March; runner-up at Doncaster most recently; place claims. |

From Beyond |
(1) (11/1 -22%)11/1(-22%) | (1) From Beyond 11/1, Tongue tied after a breathing op and made a sound return to action when runner-up in a Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) in June. Went backwards from that effort at Nottingham next time and blinkers are added for her handicap debut (had another wind op since). Had wind surgery since last run and now goes handicapping; open to progress. |

Thawg |
(9) (14/1 -100%)14/1(-100%) | (9) Thawg 14/1, Showed much improved form when won 5-runner maiden at Brighton (8f, good to firm) in May and shaped as if still in good heart on handicap/all-weather debut when a close ninth at Newcastle (7.1f) 16 days ago. Back on turf and one to look out for. Won maiden at Brighton on sole 1m attempt; may still have more to offer. |

Comedian Leader |
(3) (16/1 -78%)16/1(-78%) | (3) Comedian Leader 16/1, Four wins on the all-weather earlier this year and proved herself just as effective on turf when third at this track (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Sound each-way claims. Four-time AW winner; placed at this course last week; each-way hopes. |

Double Tot |
(6) (33/1 -83%)33/1(-83%) | (6) Double Tot 33/1, Never involved in a trio of minor events but could make more of an impact now handicapping. Can't rule out a bigger effort now switched to handicap level. |

Bijjlee |
(4) (50/1 -52%)50/1(-52%) | (4) Bijjlee 50/1, Fair maiden at her best in UAE. Hooded on yard debut when only tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) in June and way too free without the headgear when down the field at Sandown (9f, heavy) 17 days ago. Hood quickly back on. 0-6 in UAE; comfortably held in two British starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LADY WORMSLEY has seldom run a bad race in her career and was a game winner when shedding the maiden tag over this distance at Doncaster last time. Despite winning by just a neck on that occasion, a 2lb rise may not be enough to stop her on an upward trajectory. Astronomica also won on her previous outing over 1m at Leicester and is likely to enter calculations along with Victoria Falls.
A tricky finale to solve but preference is for VICTORIA FALLS, who bumped into the thriving Temper Trap at Doncaster just over 3 weeks ago and Hugo Palmer's 4-y-o can go one better down to her last winning mark. Lady Wormsley impressed with her attitude when getting off the mark last time so she may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Astronomica and Comedian Leader.
Doncaster winner LADY WORMSLEY is open to further improvement on turf and gets the vote over Astronomica.

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.
