(2)  (13/8 -95%)Jowddah |
13/8(-95%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jowddah 13/8, Promising individual. 7/4, second of 7 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) 19 days ago, running on. Sets a good standard. Useful pedigree; second at Newmarket (7f, good) and Salisbury (7f, good to soft). |
|||
(4)  (2/1 +20%)Tattycoram |
2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tattycoram 2/1, Camelot filly who showed ability when third of 6 in 1m novice at Ascot (good to soft, 13/2) on debut 26 days ago. Should improve. Third of six at Ascot (1m, soft) with Koko Blue closing to just over 1l; should improve. |
|||
(1)  (4/1 +11%)Blue Laced |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blue Laced 4/1, Foaled March 7. Farhh filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 9.5f Cinderella's Dream. Farhh half-sister to 7f-9.5f winner Cinderella's Dream (including 2yo/US Gr 1; RPR 112);. |
|||
(3)  (5/1 +50%)Koko Blue |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Koko Blue 5/1, Twice-raced filly. Unseated rider on debut then fourth of 6 in novice at Ascot (8f, good to soft, 80/1) 26 days ago, hanging right from 2f out. 80-1, rallying fourth of six at Ascot (1m, soft) and finished on the heels of Tattycoram. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
JOWDDAH did little wrong when finding only a smart newcomer too strong in a class 2 maiden at Salisbury last month. A similar performance may prove good enough for Roger Varian's filly and she edges the vote over Tattycoram. The daughter of Camelot posted a solid third on her debut at Ascot 26 days ago and she's unlikely to be far away. Market support for the well-bred Blue Laced on her introduction would be interesting.
JOWDDAH bumped into a potentially smart one at Salisbury last month and, with the step up to 1m promising to suit, she's taken to make it third time lucky. Tattycoram showed promise on her debut at Ascot and is feared most with improvement on the cards.
Newcomer Blue Laced needs a close look and there's not much between the other three on ratings. TATTYCORAM is narrowly preferred.

(7)  (11/8 -89%)Veblen Good |
11/8(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Veblen Good 11/8, Starspangledbanner colt. Brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Impeachd Alexander and half-brother to useful 5f winner Noche Magica. Dam, 5f winner (stayed 6f), half-sister to very smart winning sprinter Dandy Man. Showed plenty to work on when runner-up at Sandown 3 weeks ago and there's more to come. Pretty useful sprint pedigree; second of ten at Sandown (5f, soft) 19 days ago on debut. |
|||
(8)  (6/4 +50%)Nad Alshiba Snow |
6/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Nad Alshiba Snow 6/4, Looked in danger of going the wrong way but back on track when second of 7 in novice at Lingfield (5f, AW, 5/1) 32 days ago. Sets the standard on her peak form. Tends to hang left; unraced on softer than good but she's the clear form pick.. |
|||
(6)  (4/1 -20%)Think Of A Name |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Think Of A Name 4/1, Much improved on debut run when second of 11 at Newbury (6f0 in July. Not quite at that level when fifth of 8 in novice at Newcastle (6f) a month later and he's now back in trip returned to turf. Second at Newbury (6f, good to soft) was far better than AW runs either side. |
|||
(1)  (14/1 -40%)Another Abbot |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Another Abbot 14/1, Harry Angel colt who is bred to be useful but tongue tied and little in the way of short-term promise so far. Modest form at Ripon (5f, good to firm) and soundly beaten at Sandown (5f, soft). |
|||
(2)  (25/1 +24%)Borcano |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Borcano 25/1, Foaled April 7. 170,000 gns yearling, Pinatubo colt. Dam, 6f winner, sister to smart 1m/9f winner (including US Grade 1) Digital Age and useful French 2-y-o 7f winner Acer Alley. No impact starting out at Kempton a month ago. 170,000gns yearling; 16-1, beaten 18l when 11th of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f, AW). |
|||
(5)  (66/1 +34%)Sharp Sand |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sharp Sand 66/1, 50/1, last of 9 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago. 50-1, close up over 3f when last of nine in maiden at Beverley (5f, good) two weeks ago. |
|||
(3)  (66/1 +0%)Optimistic |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Optimistic 66/1, Foaled March 7. Havana Grey colt. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). By Havana Grey; fourth foal; dam placed at 7f/1m (RPR 77), half-sister to useful Mohaayed. |
|||
(4)  (100/1 +0%)Popov |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Popov 100/1, Again showed little when eighth of 10 in novice at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. 150-1 when behind at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) and Ascot (6f, soft). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
There were plenty of positives to be gleaned from VEBLEN GOOD's debut second at Sandown last month and any improvement would make him tough to beat. The softer ground holds no fears for the Starspangledbanner colt and a breakthrough victory looks imminent. Nad Alshiba Snow arrives on the back of a respectable runner-up effort at Lingfield and she rates as the biggest danger, ahead of Think Of A Name.
VEBLEN GOOD is bred to be sharp and having showed up very nicely on debut at Sandown 3 weeks ago, he can improve beyond the standard set by the more-exposed filly Nad Alshiba Snow. Think of A Name can also make his presence felt.
Nad Alshiba Snow and Think Of A Name are considered but preference is for VEBLEN GOOD whose debut second was on soft ground.

(4)  (3/1 +0%)Rare Change |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rare Change 3/1, Made a promising start to his nursery career but needs to shrug off a lesser run in blinkers (which are quickly discarded) at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. This sort of ground is an unknown for him. Was too free in first-time blinkers latest; each-way player if he handles soft.. |
|||
(3)  (7/2 +0%)Stirrup Cup |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Stirrup Cup 7/2, Took a step forward when winning 8-runner nursery at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month. Backed that up when second of 9 at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Kept on for second at Ayr latest, his best effort to date; up another 2lb; respected.. |
|||
(6)  (4/1 -14%)Eighteencaratgold |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eighteencaratgold 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 10 in nursery (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 56 days ago. Won't need to up her game too much to have a big say. Fourth on nursery debut at Kempton; since gelded; drops 1lb; may yet look well treated.. |
|||
(1)  (5/1 +9%)Shazani |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shazani 5/1, Hamilton maiden winner in June. Struggled in his first 3 nurseries but back on the up returned to Hamilton when narrowly denied over 6f on soft last month. Might not have been over those exertions when well held at Doncaster only 9 days later. Well below par at Doncaster (6f, good) latest; can be involved if bringing his 'A' game.. |
|||
(2)  (5/1 -11%)Blewburton |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blewburton 5/1, Won in the mud at Leicester in April. Third in 6f novices on next 2 starts and seemingly failed to stay 7f on Sandown nursery debut at the end of August. Interesting back at 6f on testing ground. 5f winner (soft); at his best he has a chance but below that last two starts; more needed.. |
|||
(5)  (9/1 -20%)Lilly's Bet |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lilly's Bet 9/1, Respectable fourth of 10 in maiden (9/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago. Only fifth in her previous nursery. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Went close in a Lingfield fillies' maiden (7f, AW) on her penultimate start; more needed.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Having finished a fine second at Ayr 12 days ago, Stirrup Cup is likely to prove popular in his current mood. A 2lb higher rating shouldn't prevent another prominent showing from Tim Easterby's colt, but it may be worth taking a punt on the distance-dropping BLEWBURTON. The son of Saxon Warrior found the 7f trip too far on his nursery bow at Sandown last time out and better is expected on this return to 6f. Shazani could also bounce back on this softer ground.
BLEWBURTON coped really well with deep ground at Leicester in the spring and might prove the answer to this nursery. Stirrup Cup arrives in form and rates an obvious threat, while Shazani could also have a say if bouncing back to the level of his penultimate Hamilton second.
An open contest in which Eve Johnson Houghton has two chances and the answer could be provided by one of them in EIGHTEENCARATGOLD.

(1)  (7/2 -17%)Northern Spirit |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Northern Spirit 7/2, Arrives in excellent form having won his last two, overcoming a slow start to take out a competitive race at York 24 days ago. Worth a chance to land the hat-trick in current mood. Chasing hat-trick after wins at Southwell & York; 3rd in this last year; needs career best. |
|||
(2)  (5/1 +23%)Fantasy Master |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fantasy Master 5/1, Tends to go well at this time of year and bounce back to capitalise on a handy mark at Doncaster last time. Solid record over this C&D and is likely to go close. A win and a second in the last two renewals; strong form when winning latest; good claims. |
|||
(3)  (13/2 -18%)Hierarchy |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hierarchy 13/2, Having eased further in the weights, has returned to form lately, again shaping well when runner-up at Hamilton 10 days ago. Slow starts are an ongoing cause for concern, but he can make his presence felt if they go quick. On a dangerous mark and last two runs have been promising; each-way shout again. |
|||
(6)  (13/2 +0%)Four Adaay |
13/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Four Adaay 13/2, 10/3, ended long losing run in 7-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 19 days ago, staying on to lead last ½f. Remains feasibly treated on old form. 5f win at Sandown 19 days ago; up 5lb against stronger rivals; 6f on soft a worry too. |
|||
(5)  (7/1 -17%)The Ridler |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Ridler 7/1, Hasn't won for a while but has found his level lately and has put a string of reasonable performances together, fifth in the Bronze Cup at Ayr last time. Could be on the premises. On a dangerous mark and there has been promise this year; might prefer quicker ground. |
|||
(10)  (8/1 +27%)So Grateful |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) So Grateful 8/1, On a fair mark and has run well to be placed on his last couple of starts, third at Hamilton 2 days ago. Hasn't won for a while, though, and it's a tough ask in the face of such a quick turnaround. Handicapped to win but this is a stronger race than he's been contesting. |
|||
(7)  (8/1 +0%)Music Society |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Music Society 8/1, Long time since his last win but he's fairly treated and has bounced back to form lately, again running well when second at Ripon 4 days ago. Could get involved if the race doesn't come too soon. On a losing run but comes here in form and conditions no problem; should run his race. |
|||
(9)  (12/1 +0%)Havana Pursuit |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Havana Pursuit 12/1, Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 5/2) 4 days ago. Hard to make a strong case for after another quick turnaround. Ran well on penultimate start but less good on Saturday; vulnerable in this field. |
|||
(4)  (12/1 -33%)Minnesota Lad |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Minnesota Lad 12/1, Ended a long losing sequence with success in 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June and backed it up with a respectable sixth behind Northern Spirit at York last time. Not without hope. Doncaster win in June off 2lb lower; handles soft, perhaps not heavy; others look stronger. |
|||
(8)  (20/1 +9%)Maharajas Express |
20/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Maharajas Express 20/1, Scored on heavy ground for Jack Jones at Bath earlier in the season but hasn't really fired since joining current stable, and others make more appeal. Conditions suit but needs to return to his spring best; going back over 6f is a plus. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Northern Spirit is in brilliant form after completing a double at York on his most recent start, and he should give a good account off a 5lb higher rating. However, it may pay to side with THE RIDLER. The son of Brazen Beau dead-heated for fifth in the Bronze Cup at Ayr last time and that looks the best form on offer. Four Adaay struck at Sandown last month and she completes the shortlist.
NORTHERN SPIRIT is clearly better than ever and this isn't as competitive as the 18-runner event he landed at York last time, so he's fancied to complete the hat-trick at the possible expense of fellow last-time-out winner Fantasy Master, who goes well here. Four Adaay also makes the shortlist.
Last year's second and third, FANTASY MASTER (nap) and Northern Spirit, should feature prominently once again.

(9)  (7/2 -17%)Knight Templar |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Knight Templar 7/2, Found improvement since upped in trip for new yard, landing back-to-back handicaps at Ffos Las (12f) and Haydock (14f) in recent months. More on plate off 6 lb higher mark here but not taken lightly. Upped to 1m4f then 1m6f by new trainer when winning at Ffos Las (soft) and Haydock. |
|||
(2)  (9/2 +10%)It's All About You |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) It's All About You 9/2, Gained reward for consistency when winning at Ayr (13.1f) in July and took another step forward to follow up at Ffos Las (16f, heavy) 40 days ago. 4 lb higher now but another bold is anticipated. Form figures of 311 in cheekpieces, the wins at Ayr (1m5f, good) and Ffos Las (2m, heavy). |
|||
(4)  (5/1 +9%)Clever Relation |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Clever Relation 5/1, Found improvement when runner-up over C&D in May and didn't need to be at his best when winning 6-runner seller at Goodwood (11.2f, good to soft) 38 days ago, kept up to work. Remains fairly treated and is one for shortlist. Close third over C&D in May and won a Goodwood seller (1m3f) over three months later. |
|||
(3)  (6/1 -9%)Expressionless |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Expressionless 6/1, Added to his summer C&D victory when taking Yarmouth handicap in July and arrives on back of creditable second of 9 at Haydock (14f, firm) 54 days ago, faring best of those held up. Likely contender. 1m6f wins this summer here and at Yarmouth, while last season's two wins were on soft. |
|||
(6)  (6/1 +0%)Corsican Caper |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Corsican Caper 6/1, Proved better than ever, back with former trainer, when winning Chester handicap (15.9f) last month and backed that up with creditable fifth of 13 at same course (14.4f, soft) 11 days ago. Warrants respect. Seemingly not the best handicapped but respected given the fluency of Chester win on heavy. |
|||
(8)  (10/1 +0%)Russian Rumour |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Russian Rumour 10/1, C&D winner on return in May and back to that sort of form when creditable 1½ lengths second of 7 to It's All About You in handicap (10/1) at Ffos Las (16f, heavy) 40 days ago, clear of rest. Not out of things. C&D winner; kept It's All About You up to his work at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) latest outing. |
|||
(1)  (12/1 +0%)Wahraan |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wahraan 12/1, Back to winning ways at Newbury in June but his reluctance at the start is a recurring theme and he failed to get out of last place at Yarmouth 13 days ago. Serial slow starter, sometimes looking reluctant, but he mostly ran well this summer. |
|||
(7)  (12/1 +0%)Haarar |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Haarar 12/1, Proved he still retains his ability in this sphere when runner-up at Thirsk in May and won back-to-back races over hurdles later that month. Not been in same form since under either code, however. Won two novice hurdles in May, one on soft; he has not fired in his four starts since. |
|||
(5)  (14/1 +13%)Alpine Stroll |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Alpine Stroll 14/1, Back on scoreboard at Salisbury (12f) in July and posted respectable third of 8 in handicap at Newbury (12f, soft) latest. Others hold stronger claims, however. Should be okay back up to 1m6f on soft; one of many plausible each-way options. |
|||
(10)  (20/1 -25%)Rock N Roll Pinkie |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Rock N Roll Pinkie 20/1, Bounced back to form to double her tally over C&D in June but not been in same form since and makes limited appeal. C&D win (good to soft) in June; has gone the wrong way; unraced on worse than good to soft. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
KNIGHT TEMPLAR is unbeaten in two starts for the Robert Stephens stable and he could have plenty more to offer over this distance. The son of Haafhd is only 6lb higher for his latest triumph at Haydock and might be able to take this step up in class in his stride. Clever Relation was successful in a seller at Goodwood last time and he is an interesting contender back over this trip with William Buick booked. Alpine Stroll is another to note.
IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU arrives in top form and will have no problem with the likely testing conditions. He can complete the hat-trick. Expressionless and Clever Relation may provide the chief threat.
Most have realistic each-way claims but hat-trick seeking pair IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU and Knight Templar may be the ones to focus on.

(7)  (3/1 -20%)Amancio |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Amancio 3/1, Settled better than previously when opening his account in the mud at Haydock (1m) in April. Consistency hard to knock subsequently, second of 9 in handicap at Sandown (10f, soft) 19 days ago. Looks sure to go well again. Close second at Sandown (soft; unraced on heavy) on latest outing; should have a big shout. |
|||
(2)  (7/2 -17%)Prometeo |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Prometeo 7/2, Progressive sort who has scored twice on turf this season and added to his tally over longest trip he's faced at Kempton (11f) 6 weeks ago, edging ahead close home. Up 4 lb ahead of this but unlikely he's finished improving just yet. Reached new heights winning last two; unraced on soft or heavy, which poses a big question. |
|||
(1)  (7/2 +0%)Elladonna |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Elladonna 7/2, Displayed improved form back up in trip fitted with a hood, scoring over C&D in May before comfortably following up at Salisbury (9.9f, good) in July. Not seen to best effect with hood left off when sixth of 10 in handicap at Haydock 4 weeks ago and she remains of interest with headgear back on. Unraced on worse than good to soft; headgear left off in her hat-trick bid but now returns. |
|||
(4)  (5/1 +33%)Ardbraccan |
5/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ardbraccan 5/1, Won on return to action here (8.3f, heavy) in April and plenty of creditable efforts have followed, again finding only one too good in 6-runner Sandown handicap (1m) 33 days ago. Effective at this trip and respected for all her mark looks about right. In good form in the main this year; runner-up last two starts; prominent in calculations. |
|||
(3)  (8/1 +0%)Giselles Defence |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Giselles Defence 8/1, Three-time winner for this yard this season, the latest coming at Newbury (10f) in July. Hasn't been scaling same heights in pair of starts since, only fifth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good) 37 days ago. Conditions will hold no fears at least. Three 1m2f wins (the first on soft) before last at Windsor and below-form fifth at Epsom. |
|||
(5)  (12/1 +0%)Tribal Wisdom |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tribal Wisdom 12/1, Back-to-back winner of all-weather handicaps earlier this year. Essentially held form well on turf in recent months, fourth of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Newmarket (10f, good) 47 days ago. Hood back on and his mark has eased a little. 2nd twice this summer; however, below form both runs on soft (2023) and unraced on heavy. |

14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Chilled Out 14/1, Won first 2 starts for this yard at Yarmouth/Ripon back in May but hasn't been able to land a telling blow since, struggling some way out in refitted tongue tie when fifth of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, soft) 18 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Won on good to soft and soft in May but the mostly lesser displays since are a concern. |

(6)  (16/1 +11%)Obsidian Knight |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Obsidian Knight 16/1, All 4 career victories gained on all weather, the latest at Chelmsford (10f) in April. Efforts have been mixed on AW/turf since, seventh of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good, 22/1) 16 days ago. Others stronger for win purposes. 0-11 in turf and unraced on worse than good to soft; little impact since his win in April. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Elladonna and Prometeo have both been in good form recently and, if handling conditions, it is hard to envisage either being too far away. However, AMANCIO is already proven in the mud and the Sixties Icon gelding is preferred. Raised 1lb having finished a valiant second at Sandown last time, Rose Dawes takes 5lb off his back and compensation could await.
A dual winner earlier this term (including over C&D) ELLADONNA wasn't seen to anything like best effect in her hat-trick bid having not been ideally placed at Haydock 4 weeks ago. Well worth another chance to get back on the up with a hood refitted, James Fanshawe's filly looks to have plenty going for her again partnered by William Buick. Prometeo is going the right way and feared, along with Amancio and Ardbraccan.
With Prometeo not having proved himself on soft ground, it may prove best to concentrate on Ardbraccan and AMANCIO.

(5)  (11/4 -10%)Terries Royale |
11/4(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Terries Royale 11/4, Off the mark in amateur riders' handicap at Ascot last month and having comfortably gone like best horse at the weights when second in Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m) next time, he resumed winning ways at Newmarket (8f, heavy) last week. Taking his racing well so considered under a penalty. 6lb higher than latest but this progressive 4yo (1m on soft recently) should go well again. |
|||
(10)  (6/1 +8%)Questionable |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Questionable 6/1, Had been knocking on the door and finally off the mark in 9-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good) a fortnight ago, leading over 1f out having settled better under a more restrained ride than usual. 7 lb rise to contend with but booking of Buick certainly catches the eye. New waiting tactics and improved form to break duck two weeks ago at Sandown (1m2f, good). |
|||
(3)  (7/1 -17%)Hat Toss |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hat Toss 7/1, Both wins have come at Sandown and ran at least as well in defeat from 4 lb higher when runner-up back there (7f, soft) 19 days ago, doing well under the circumstances given he came from even further back than the winner. Looks sure to go close again back up to 1m. Two good runs over 7f on soft this term, notably on latest start; also a 1m win on good. |
|||
(9)  (10/1 +0%)Kynsa |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kynsa 10/1, Two 1m Kempton wins this summer and even better form when narrowly denied at Sandown (1m again) in August. Run of good form halted at Southwell last month (8.1f) so percentage call is probably to look elsewhere. Has done well with cheekpieces; close up on soft and heavy last term; each-way contender. |
|||
(14)  (12/1 -9%)Adelabella |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Adelabella 12/1, Opened her account over C&D in August before following up 16 days later at Newmarket. Unable to find further progress on both subsequent outings but she's worth a second look with a talented apprentice taking off a valuable 3 lb. Unraced on worse than good to soft; won twice in August but may need to resume improvement. |
|||
(1)  (12/1 +14%)Valkyrian |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Valkyrian 12/1, Has taken her form up a notch this year, registering a third victory of the campaign at Chepstow in August. Good second at Southwell early last month and ran respectably 3 days later in a deeper race when fourth at Kempton (1m) 25 days ago, albeit better placed than most. Excellent sequence before brought out quickly for her respectable fourth on latest outing. |
|||
(6)  (14/1 -27%)Ziggy's Phoenix |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ziggy's Phoenix 14/1, Caused a 66/1 shock at Newmarket in May and arguably surpassed that performance when accounting for 7 rivals in a Goodwood handicap in August. Ran about as well in defeat from 4 lb higher when third of 6 at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month but this much tougher. Acts on soft; two 1m wins this term; ran well latest outing but needs to find extra again. |
|||
(7)  (14/1 +13%)Powdering |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Powdering 14/1, Won 4 times in the spring and having rather lost her way since, returned to form when third of 9 at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) last week. That was a class 4 event, however, so a career-best would be needed if she's to add to her tally. Hat-trick in May, peak form on soft (unraced on heavy); near that form last Tuesday. |
|||
(8)  (14/1 +13%)Law Supreme |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Law Supreme 14/1, Opened his account for current connections at Bath in April and returned to form when second of 8 at Windsor (8.1f, soft) in August. Not so good at Ascot (8f, good to soft) since though, so needs to get back on track. Unraced on heavy but won on soft in April and good 2nd on it (again 1m) penultimate outing. |
|||
(11)  (16/1 -14%)Mysteryofthesands |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Mysteryofthesands 16/1, Opened his account at Hamilton in July and similar form when third of 13 i at Haydock (8.2f, good) last month, clear of rest. Did enough to suggest he probably remained in form when seventh at Ayr (8f, good to firm) just under 2 weeks ago and not without each-way hope. Won in June but mostly below form since; placed on soft and heavy in the spring. |
|||
(4)  (16/1 +0%)Baltimore Boy |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Baltimore Boy 16/1, Shaped well (had to make his move away from the main action) when close fifth at Ascot in July and best not judged on his Kempton (1m) effort 7 weeks ago, left poorly placed. Visor back on and makes each-way appeal from a career-low mark. No win since last August and inconsistent form this term; return of visor might help. |
|||
(12)  (16/1 +0%)Fools Rush In |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Fools Rush In 16/1, Perked up by a change of headgear and ended long losing run in 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month. Shaped as if still in good form back on turf when sixth of 8 at Newmarket (9f, good) 11 days ago and remains with plenty of handicapping scope on old form. Way down weights to break a two-year losing run last month (8.6f, AW) on penultimate start. |
|||
(2)  (16/1 +20%)Barley |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Barley 16/1, Previous C&D winner who ended a long losing sequence at Carlisle in June. In mostly good order since, though unable to get competitive back up in trip at Ayr (10f, good to firm) just under 2 weeks ago. Others preferred for win purposes. Ran respectably in May on soft; good sequence on good and good to firm this summer. |
|||
(13)  (25/1 -56%)Dream Pirate |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Dream Pirate 25/1, Has held his form well over the summer but needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Kempton (1m) 7 weeks ago. Handicapper given him a squeak back on turf (now 1 lb below last winning mark). Won twice over 1m on soft last autumn; plenty of respectable shows this season. |
|||
(15)  (25/1 +0%)Love Your Work |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Love Your Work 25/1, Won twice in the space of 24 hours back in June but found out in better races subsequently. Latest effort easy to put a line through (probably found race coming too soon) but not one to be going overboard about in such a competitive race. Encouraging penultimate start; acts on heavy; needs to put his latest start way behind him. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The vote goes to TERRIES ROYALE, whose performances have taken off since getting some cut in the ground. Mick Appleby's four-year-old was a comfortable victor at Newmarket last Thursday and, though the penalty will make life tougher, he's unlikely to have reached the ceiling of his ability yet. Ziggy's Phoenix finished a creditable third at Ascot last time out and she ought to be thereabouts, while others to note include Hat Toss, Fools Rush In and Adelabella.
Plenty in with a squeak but the suggestion is HAT TOSS, who arrives at the top of his game and can have his latest effort marked up given he came from even further back than the winner. Back up in trip, he can notch career victory number 3 at the expense of Terries Royale, who made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts at Newmarket last week and carries a penalty here. Questionable, Mysteryofthesands and Adelabella can fight out minor honours.
On a roll and having demonstrated his proficiency over 1m on soft, TERRIES ROYALE may win again, from Kynsa and Questionable.

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.
