1st (5) (0.25/1 +73%) Torito |
0.25/1(+73%) | (5) Torito 0.25/1, Kingman half-brother to connections' very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Journey and a couple of other smart performers. Couldn't justify favouritism in a 1m Newbury novice on his debut last autumn but shaped with plenty of promise in third and rates a useful prospect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (22/1 +33%) Sir Raj |
22/1(+33%) | (4) Sir Raj 22/1, £8,000 Holy Roman Emperor gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 2¼m Rajinsky and 1¼m winner Bahkit. Dam maiden (barely stayed 7f). Will need to be useful to make a winning debut here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3.33/1 +63%) Overactive |
3.33/1(+63%) | (2) Overactive 3.33/1, Showed a fair level of ability when placed twice on Wolverhampton's AW at the end of 2022 but he doesn't look to have quite the same potential as a couple of others in this line-up. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Exoplanet is best excused his effort when finishing last (of six) in the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket in October and likely has more to offer this season. Marginal preference, however, is for TORITO, who travelled with purpose on his debut at Newbury in the same month, before inexperience appeared to get the better of him and he weakened into third. Overactive wasn't disgraced in two all-weather appearances over the winter and Ralph Beckett's inmate makes most appeal of the remainder.
A small field but an interesting opener all the same. The very well-bred TORITO shaped encouragingly when third on his debut at Newbury last autumn and is selected to make the most of the weight he receives from previous winner Exoplanet.
There were plenty of positives to take from TORITO's debut defeat at Newbury and a Derby entry bodes well. Exoplanet is feared.

1st (6) (6.5/1 +13%) Eyetrap |
6.5/1(+13%) | (6) Eyetrap 6.5/1, Well bred and produced his best effort to date when third in a novice at Kempton 133 days ago. Step up in trip will suit and he can't be dismissed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (2.75/1 +31%) Dawn Vega |
2.75/1(+31%) | (5) Dawn Vega 2.75/1, Hasn't had much racing and arrives on the back of an encouraging run at Chelmsford. Will be suited by this extra distance and merits respect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (16/1 -33%) Kadovar |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Kadovar 16/1, Fair form when second at Nottingham last October but that is a standout effort and he was disappointing at Doncaster on return. Others make more appeal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (2.5/1 -11%) Mudskipper |
2.5/1(-11%) | (3) Mudskipper 2.5/1, Fair form last season, third at Newbury 173 days ago. Type to do better as a 3yo over this sort of trip, so worthy of consideration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5/1 -25%) Latin Verse |
5/1(-25%) | (1) Latin Verse 5/1, Off the mark at the third attempt in 5-runner maiden at Lingfield and looks open to further progress. Drop back in trip perhaps not ideal but still a major player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Bohemian Breeze |
4.5/1(+10%) | (2) Bohemian Breeze 4.5/1, Promising start at Leicester as a 2yo and, while he failed to build on it, he might get back on track having been given 4 months off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Latin Verse appeared to improve for the step up in trip when winning over 1m4f at Lingfield in February and there may be some value in taking on the son of Postponed now returned this distance. MUDSKIPPER shaped as if 1m was on the sharp side for him last season and this first attempt over 1m2f could unlock the improvement needed for a first success for David Menuisier's colt. Bohemian Breeze is another who could improve for this stiffer test and he also warrants consideration.
DAWN VEGA shapes like this sort of trip will suit him and he's worth chancing to open his account at the possible expense of Latin Verse, a comfortable maiden winner last time. Mudskipper is another one to consider.
A typically trappy 3yo handicap at this early stage of the season. LATIN VERSE does at least have the benefit of a recent run.

1st (5) (1.88/1 +0%) Fix You |
1.88/1(+0%) | (5) Fix You 1.88/1, Debut winner at Thirsk last April and not discredited after 11 months off when second of 9 in 6f Kempton novice 11 days ago. Looks to have got in lightly for her handicap debut. Interesting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (16/1 -14%) Open Market |
16/1(-14%) | (8) Open Market 16/1, Made winning start in 5f Cork maiden last May but has proved too free both starts since, only sixth on her yard debut in 5f Wolverhampton novice 26 days ago. Hooded now and she can't be discounted on her handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/1 +18%) Thankuappreciate |
9/1(+18%) | (2) Thankuappreciate 9/1, Ripon 6f novice winner before posting a very good second in 5f Redcar novice later last autumn. Highly respected on his handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (8.5/1 -6%) Betweenthesticks |
8.5/1(-6%) | (1) Betweenthesticks 8.5/1, Three-time juvenile winner, landing 5f nursery at York in October. Possibly found run coming too quickly when last of six over C&D after and no surprise to see him bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7.5/1 -7%) Desperate Hero |
7.5/1(-7%) | (6) Desperate Hero 7.5/1, Got off the mark in 5-runner minor event at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) in July. Off since so has his fitness to prove now going into handicaps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 +11%) Paddy's Day |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Paddy's Day 4/1, Back on track to land 4-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 18 days ago. Needs considering back on turf despite taking a 3 lb rise. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/1 +38%) Absolutelyflawless |
10/1(+38%) | (4) Absolutelyflawless 10/1, Dual 5f winner last season but she wasn't seen out after coming in last of 6 in nursery at Newbury (5.2f, good to firm) in August. Needs to hit the ground running on her comeback. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (6.5/1 +41%) Castan |
6.5/1(+41%) | (7) Castan 6.5/1, Ended last term on the up, scoring at Catterick before excellent second of 6 in nursery at Newcastle (5f) in October. Goes well on a soft surface so he's a player nudged up just 1 lb. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FIX YOU reappeared in good form when collared close home over 6f at Kempton recently and, with this return to 5f and underfoot conditions to suit, she may been let in lightly off an opening mark of 77. Thankuappreciate doesn't have the benefit of a recent run, but Nigel Tinkler's charge may also have more to offer this season now entering handicaps and is feared most. Paddy's Day, Desperate Hero and Castan also have claims in a competitive-looking contest.
A case can be made for all of these but CASTAN ended last term on the up so gets the nod off a still handy-looking mark with the form of his Newcastle second having been franked. Recent Lingfield scorer Paddy's Day rates a big threat with handicap debutantes Fix You and Open Market much respected too.
The filly FIX YOU (nap) emerged as the best horse at the weights when narrowly denied on her AW reappearance. She'll love this ground.

1st (6) (4.5/1 +18%) Sera Dawn |
4.5/1(+18%) | (6) Sera Dawn 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Surpassed 2-y-o form when good second of 9 in maiden (10/1) at this C&D (heavy) 7 days ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3/1 +45%) Fair Wind |
3/1(+45%) | (3) Fair Wind 3/1, Hooded, third of 9 in maiden at this C&D (heavy, 5/1) on debut 7 days ago, slowly away. Will know more this time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (3/1 -71%) McCauley's Tavern |
3/1(-71%) | (4) McCauley's Tavern 3/1, Fairly useful gelding. First run since leaving J. A. Stack when bit below form fourth of 10 in novice event at Kempton (6f, 5/1) 14 days ago. May have needed that but he's slightly more exposed than a few of these. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (2.75/1 +8%) Eternal Class |
2.75/1(+8%) | (2) Eternal Class 2.75/1, Winning debut at Thirsk in July. Failed to land the odds at Southwell a month later and off since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (8.5/1 +6%) Zeno |
8.5/1(+6%) | (5) Zeno 8.5/1, 14/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 39 days ago. That was a promising start amidst greenness and he's expected to improve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (16/1 +27%) Stocks Park |
16/1(+27%) | (7) Stocks Park 16/1, Failed to match debut run when seventh of 10 in minor event (22/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 137 days. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
TAJALLA won a decent-looking novice stakes at Newmarket on his only start as a juvenile and, given he won with authority that day, he is taken to cope with having to concede weight all round at this stage. Eternal Class impressed when she won a maiden at Thirsk on her racecourse bow and rates a big threat, if forgiven a modest effort on the all-weather when last seen. Fair Wind is also considered after posting a respectable third on debut over C&D last week.
TAJALLA has presumably had his share of issues to be off the track for a year but his debut win at Newmarket was very taking. He's in top hands so is taken to remain unbeaten, probably at the chief expense of Eternal Class and McCauley's Tavern.
Conditions won't concern McCAULEY'S TAVERN and he is preferred to Eternal Class.

1st (4) (16/1 +36%) Rajinsky |
16/1(+36%) | (4) Rajinsky 16/1, Genuine and reliable stayer who added two more handicaps to his tally last season, the latest at Newmarket (2¼m, good to firm) in September. Found Group 1 company too much in France on final start of 2022 and minor place money is probably the best he can hope for here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (0.44/1 +0%) Trueshan |
0.44/1(+0%) | (1) Trueshan 0.44/1, Top-class stayer who landed this race on return last season prior to a superb weight-carrying performance in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle. Ended that campaign with a narrow victory in an Ascot Group 2 and obvious claims with conditions in his favour. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3.5/1 +30%) Tashkhan |
3.5/1(+30%) | (5) Tashkhan 3.5/1, Big step forward when chasing home Trueshan in the Long Distance Cup at Ascot in October 2021. Proved that was no flash in the pan with several decent efforts in top staying races last season and should make his presence felt if fully tuned-up for this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (22/1 -22%) Urban Artist |
22/1(-22%) | (6) Urban Artist 22/1, Useful mare who was runner-up twice over this trip in Group 3/listed company last season. However, well held in the Park Hill at Doncaster when last seen in September and she has plenty to find with the principles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (10/1 -33%) Buzz |
10/1(-33%) | (2) Buzz 10/1, Useful handicapper for Hughie Morrison a few seasons back and has since made up into a smart hurdler for Nicky Henderson. Winner of the 2021 Cesarewitch on latest start in this sphere (sole run on the Flat so far for Henderson) but this is a big ask on the back of a lengthy absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
TRUESHAN and Hollie Doyle teamed up to good effect when winning this race last season and, given how well the rest of the campaign panned out for the partnership, they are hard to oppose in the bid for back-to-back successes. Last season's Gold Cup runner-up, Mojo Star, rates as the chief danger, although Buzz, who hasn't been seen since winning a Grade 2 over hurdles 508 days ago, has to be of interest on his return, considering he won the 2021 renewal of the Cesarewitch on his penultimate start.
MOJO STAR may only have a maiden success to his name but he has proven himself to be high class with a number of fine efforts in Group 1 company, not least when splitting Kyprios and Stradivarius in a thrilling finish to the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot on his sole appearance in 2022. He appears to be versatile ground-wise and is taken to lower the colours of last year's winner Trueshan in what promises to be a fascinating clash between these two top-notch performers. Tashkhan is best of the rest.
You can set your clock by TRUESHAN when he gets these conditions and Alan King's star should repeat last year's success.

1st (5) (4.5/1 +59%) Molly Valentine |
4.5/1(+59%) | (5) Molly Valentine 4.5/1, Ended last year with AW victory at Lingfleld but hasn't really built on that and makes limited appeal returned to turf here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (4/1 +20%) Bletchley Storm |
4/1(+20%) | (9) Bletchley Storm 4/1, Yet to trouble the judge in a trio of AW outings but appeals as the type to do better in handicaps and she is bred to be suited by the step up in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +11%) Eurythmical |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Eurythmical 4/1, Had excuses when down the field on Wolverhampton handicap bow in December and reappears off a handy mark. Cheekpieces now added for first time and looks a likely contender. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (14/1 +22%) Zebra Star |
14/1(+22%) | (4) Zebra Star 14/1, Won 1 of her 6 starts last year but was below par in testing ground at Haydock when last seen in October and may face similar conditions here. Joined Amy Murphy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7.5/1 -15%) Ravigill |
7.5/1(-15%) | (6) Ravigill 7.5/1, Found improvement when third of 10 in nursery over C&D (soft, 40/1) in October. Remains low mileage so should have more to offer this season. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (22/1 -38%) Anieres Girl |
22/1(-38%) | (8) Anieres Girl 22/1, Suited by step up in trip when creditable third of 11 in nursery at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in July. Not seen since but this stiffer test ought to be a plus and she is worth a second look in the market. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (14/1 +22%) On The Pulse |
14/1(+22%) | (1) On The Pulse 14/1, Dual winner as a juvenile but more exposed than her rivals and ran poorly when last seen at Newmarket in October. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (5/1 -11%) Bonkersinabundance |
5/1(-11%) | (7) Bonkersinabundance 5/1, Run with credit in maiden company at end of 2022, most recently when fourth of 9 at Chelmsford City (7f) in December. In good hands and improvement may be forthcoming now switched to handicapping. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (7.5/1 -67%) Class Member |
7.5/1(-67%) | (2) Class Member 7.5/1, Made the frame all 4 starts on AW (at up to 7.2f) this winter and Ryan Moore an eyecatching booking for turf/handicap debut. Cheekpieces on first time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CLASS MEMBER makes both her handicap and turf debut in first-time cheekpieces following a fair fourth at Chelmsford over 7f last month. She is fairly well-related and must hold every chance off what appears a feasible opening mark of 71, but the Roger Varian-trained Bonkersinabundance was only narrowly denied on her sole turf run at Brighton last October and can give the selection plenty to think about. Anieres Girl completes the shortlist.
Preference is for EURYTHMICAL, who didn't get the breaks on handicap debut at Wolverhampton in December and is bred to appreciate this stiffer test of stamina. Class Member and Ravigill head the list of dangers.
Perhaps EURYTHMICAL can benefit from cheekpieces after running below expectations on her handicap debut.

Mabre |
(2) (2.5/1 +17%)2.5/1(+17%) | (2) Mabre 2.5/1, Added to tally in first-time blinkers at Lingfield in March. Good third of 11 in handicap back there a fortnight ago and would have finished closer with a clear run. Big player from same mark back on turf, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Big Bear Hug |
(6) (3.5/1 +53%)3.5/1(+53%) | (6) Big Bear Hug 3.5/1, Still to get her head in front and underlined inconsistency when following a good run with a heavy defeat at Redcar in November. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
More Diamonds |
(5) (6.5/1 -44%)6.5/1(-44%) | (5) More Diamonds 6.5/1, Has never stood much racing and well held on final start for Richard Hughes in July. Eased 4 lb and joined another good yard so the market can guide. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nine Elms |
(8) (7/1 +13%)7/1(+13%) | (8) Nine Elms 7/1, Course winner who shaped better than the result when third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 29 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Eased 1 lb and he should be right in the mix back on turf. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Eleven Eleven |
(3) (9/1 -29%)9/1(-29%) | (3) Eleven Eleven 9/1, Gained both career wins at Newcastle, most recently in in February. Creditable second of 10 in handicap back there a month ago. Makes turf debut. Can make presence felt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Antagonize |
(4) (10/1 +17%)10/1(+17%) | (4) Antagonize 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 40/1) 36 days ago. Probably needed that and is fancied to step up on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Riffa Fort |
(1) (14/1 +13%)14/1(+13%) | (1) Riffa Fort 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 68 days ago, missing break. Drops back in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Distinction |
(10) (14/1 -56%)14/1(-56%) | (10) Distinction 14/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. 15/2, fifth of 7 in seller at Redcar (8f, heavy). Off 162 days. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Recorwoman |
(9) (20/1 -11%)20/1(-11%) | (9) Recorwoman 20/1, Unreliable type. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 100/1) 36 days ago, very slowly away. Clearly comes with big risks attached due to issues at the stalls. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Confils |
(7) (33/1 +0%)33/1(+0%) | (7) Confils 33/1, Three-time winner on turf earlier in career but hard to know how much ability he retains given fleeting appearances of late. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Buachaill |
(11) (40/1 -43%)40/1(-43%) | (11) Buachaill 40/1, Unreliable individual who was finally off the mark at Wolverhampton in March. Eased as though amiss back there a fortnight ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Only denied a double by half a length over a mile at Newcastle last month, ELEVEN ELEVEN can have another big say in proceedings on his turf debut here. He is now rated 8lb above his last winning all-weather mark, though, so the class-dropping Mabre should not be taken lightly and could also be thereabouts. Nine Elms is another who warrants a market check.
MABRE has enjoyed a productive period on the AW of late and would have finished closer with a clear run at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Equally effective on turf and with fitness on his side, he's the most persuasive option. Nine Elms and Eleven Eleven are feared most.
It might be worth chancing MORE DIAMONDS on her first run for James Ferguson and belatedly returning to genuine soft ground.

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.
