(5)  (3/1 +0%)Turner Girl |
3/1(+0%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Turner Girl 3/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 5 in handicap (5/2) at Catterick (13.9f, good to firm) 51 days ago, just failing. Has to be taken seriously. Fine on any ground; last summer's win came off a similar mark and she's on the shortlist. |
|||
(9)  (4/1 +0%)Marbuzet |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Marbuzet 4/1, Successful twice at up to 14f last year and proving a model of consistency in recent starts, second of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (16.5f) 10 days ago. Merits consideration back down in trip. Has crept up the weights in defeat; might not want too much rain but claims otherwise. |
|||
(6)  (5/1 -11%)Funky Town Pinkie |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Funky Town Pinkie 5/1, Dual winner on AW over the winter who ran well on back of 5 months off when second of 6 in handicap at Nottingham 914f) 24 days ago, keeping on final 1f having conceded first run. Remains low-mileage on turf and not out of things. Showed she can do it on turf last time; sister won for the yard on slow ground. |
|||
(3)  (5/1 +0%)Buxted Reel |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Buxted Reel 5/1, Sole success to date came on AW but he does arrive having run his best race of the campaign when 7 lengths third of 7 in handicap at Chester 915.9f) 22 days ago. Drop in class rates a plus and he's one to bear in mind back down in trip. This easier than he's used to but been kept to fast surfaces so may not want too much rain. |
|||
(8)  (9/1 +25%)Lord Torranaga |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lord Torranaga 9/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good to firm) 11 days ago, headway under pressure over 2f out and keeping on. Clearly not out of things from this mark. Yard has won two of the last four runnings of this race; in form and won't mind any rain. |
|||
(4)  (11/1 +0%)Myboymax |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Myboymax 11/1, 28/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 30 days ago, always behind. Has fallen to a workable mark but need to see more positive signs before becoming of interest. Turf wins have all come around this time of year and he's back on a fair mark; player. |
|||
(1)  (14/1 +0%)Oasis Prince |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Oasis Prince 14/1, Temperamental sort who hasn't been at his best on the Flat in recent starts and merely closed up late when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f) 3 weeks ago. Is now operating 2 lb below last winning mark at least back on the level. Could probably do without too much rain; otherwise his yard has been among the winners. |
|||
(2)  (14/1 +0%)Easter Island |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Easter Island 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (10.2f) 75 days ago, never better than midfield and not knocked about. In good hands and improvement distinctly possible now going handicapping up in trip. Not obviously well treated now handicapping but is worth tracking in the market. |
|||
(7)  (25/1 -14%)Desert Quest |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Desert Quest 25/1, C&D winner. 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good to soft) 15 days ago, racing freely and weakening over 2f out. Return to front-running tactics may well see him in a better light here. Four wins have all come at this time of year but rain would be a concern. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FUNKY TOWN PINKIE returned from a break to finish second at Nottingham at the end of last month and the four-year-old, who remains unexposed on turf, has been found an excellent opportunity to go one better. Marbuzet has finished runner-up on his last three starts and is expected to be competitive once again, while Turner Girl is capable of going close following her second at Catterick.
TURNER GIRL was well served by the drop back in trip and returned to the pick of her form when narrowly denied at Catterick in June and she looks a serious player with a repeat under a promising rider. Marbuzet is proving most consistent and is feared, along with Buxted Reel. Funky Town Pinkie is also respected given she's still lightly raced on turf.
Rain wouldn't pose any problems for the consistent TURNER GIRL, who's preferred to Myboymax.

(12)  (2.75/1 +0%)Consoling |
2.75/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Consoling 2.75/1, Inns Of Court filly who showed benefit of initial experience when second of 13 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f) 5 weeks ago, staying on. Step up in trip promises to suit and she can be expected to feature. Good 2nd at Carlisle last month; ready for 7f and she sets the standard in this field. |
|||
(4)  (4.5/1 -13%)Haya Taal |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Haya Taal 4.5/1, Fair form when second on debut in a Kempton maiden (7f) in June but not in same form when seventh of 12 in novice event at Newbury (6f) 10 days ago, despite being better placed than most. Cheekpieces go on now and not out of things if bouncing back. Debut run was promising (7f, AW); less good over 6f last time; headgear added today. |
|||
(2)  (5/1 +0%)Beauty Generation |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Beauty Generation 5/1, Ulysses colt. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Lots to like about him physically and showed ability amidst greenness when fifth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 25 days ago, not knocked about but nearest at the finish. One to note with more to come. Shaped quite well on debut (7f, AW) but he'll need more if he's to win at the 2nd attempt. |
|||
(6)  (6.5/1 +0%)Knewone |
6.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Knewone 6.5/1, Foaled March 9. Sogann colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Anjaal. Yard adept at readying a newcomer and interesting to see Oisin Murphy in the plate. Well worthy of a second look. Dam a half-sister to Group 2 winner Anjaal; Oisin Murphy booked for debut; considered. |
|||
(7)  (7.5/1 +0%)One More Bottle |
7.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) One More Bottle 7.5/1, Foaled February 3. Mukhadram gelding. Brother to 7f/1m winner Alotabottle and half-brother to several winners, including 5f winners Triple Jaye and Smokey. Dam ran once. Market should guide on debut. Withdrawn having got loose before last month's debut (9-1 at the time); worth market check. |
|||
(13)  (10/1 -11%)Lady Of Time |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Lady Of Time 10/1, Time Test filly who has plenty about her physically and showed some ability when midfield in a Doncaster maiden (7f) 3 weeks ago, coming home under hands-and-heels riding. Very much the type to improve but handicaps could be more her bag in due course. Kept on steadily for sixth at Doncaster three weeks ago; could take a big step forward. |
|||
(3)  (22/1 +0%)Havana Sky |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Havana Sky 22/1, Foaled March 29. 12,000 gns foal, 16,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Data Protection and winner abroad by Acclamation. Market should guide with Tom Marquand an eye-catching booking. Half-brother to six winners but stable's 2yos operating at a modest strike-rate this year. |
|||
(10)  (25/1 +0%)Trust Time |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Trust Time 25/1, Foaled April 2. Time Test colt. Half-brother to winner up to 7f Baronial Pride. Dam 6f winner. Half-brother to useful winner Baronial Pride (RPR 93); one of three runners for O Pears. |
|||
(8)  (28/1 -12%)Speed Court |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Speed Court 28/1, Foaled March 20. €21,000 2-y-o, Acclamation colt. Dam once-raced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Drumfad Bay (by Acclamation) out of very smart winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner) Manieree. 21,000euros 2yo; dam a half-sister to a Listed winner; only of interest if well backed. |
|||
(11)  (33/1 +0%)Bobina |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Bobina 33/1, Foaled March 2. 1,200 gns yearling, Bobby's Kitten filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to US Grade 2 9f winner Dicey Mo Chara. 1,200gns yearling; dam a 1m2f winner; one of three runners for Ollie Pears. |
|||
(5)  (40/1 +0%)King Of Cali |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) King Of Cali 40/1, Foaled April 28. €3,000 yearling, Belardo gelding. Half-brother to 5f-7f winner Sassoferrato and 6f/7f winner Approve The Dream. Dam of little account. 3,000euros half-brother to two winners; others have stronger paper credentials. |
|||
(9)  (40/1 +0%)Supreme Tenacity |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Supreme Tenacity 40/1, Son of Invincible Army who showed nothing when last of 9 in maiden at this course (6f, good to soft) on debut 62 days ago, always behind. Gelded/had wind op subsequently and this should reveal more. Tailed off over 6f here in May; gelded and had wind op since; not easy to recommend. |
|||
(1)  (50/1 +0%)Acclaim To Royalty |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Acclaim To Royalty 50/1, Once-raced colt. Ninth of 10 in maiden (25/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) on debut 13 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved. Likely longer-term project. 25-1, slowly away, green and well beaten on recent debut; needs to have learned quickly. |
|||
(14)  (66/1 +0%)Nevzilla |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Nevzilla 66/1, Once-raced filly. 25/1, last of 8 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on debut 13 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Can only be watched on the back of that. Showed little at Ripon on her recent debut (6f, good). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KNEWONE appears to be the standout contender on paper, with his dam an unraced half-sister to a Group 2 juvenile winner, and the booking of Oisin Murphy is another notable positive. Haya Taal may have finished closer at Newbury but for being hampered in the closing stages and the return to 7f is likely to be in his favour, while others to note include Consoling and Havana Sky.
CONSOLING showed the benefit of her debut experience and was doing her best work at the finish when runner-up at Carlisle 5 weeks ago. The step up to 7f will help on that evidence and she could be the answer. Beauty Generation and Haya Taal are others to consider, whilst Knewone and One More Bottle are a pair of newcomers to note.
Money for a newcomer would be interesting but CONSOLING showed enough at Carlisle to think she could win a similar event.

(2)  (3/1 +0%)Slippin Jimmy |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Slippin Jimmy 3/1, 9/2, again ran creditably when second of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago, running on. Deserves plenty of credit for his consistency so he makes the shortlist. Sole win at 7f on AW; 0-7 on turf but only just failed at Haydock latest; can find a race. |
|||
(3)  (4.5/1 +0%)Highfield Viking |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Highfield Viking 4.5/1, Winner at Doncaster in April. Got back on track returned to all-weather when fourth of 11 in handicap (2/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 24 days ago. Merits consideration. Winning handicap debut (6f); stayed 7f well enough on AW latest; one of the better ones. |
|||
(4)  (5.5/1 -10%)Vortigan |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Vortigan 5.5/1, Blinkered for 1st time, got back on track when third of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 17/2) 17 days ago, having run of race. Not taken lightly if he's able to employ similar tactics. Best handicap form when 3rd in first-time blinkers at Haydock recently; likely more needed. |
|||
(9)  (8.5/1 +6%)Fortuitous Star |
8.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Fortuitous Star 8.5/1, Ran to a similar level as on return despite not being seen to best effect when third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 4/1) 13 days ago, not clear run under 2f out. Drawn widest but holds sound each-way claims. Running well of late and less to prove than some now back at 7f; raced on good/quicker. |
|||
(1)  (10/1 +0%)Red Maids |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Red Maids 10/1, Again ran below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 23 days ago. Murphy back on board and eases further in the weights. Went close on yard debut (7f); not as good since but returns to 7f with O Murphy back up. |
|||
(5)  (10/1 -11%)Nightout |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Nightout 10/1, 13/2, looked awkward when last of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 19 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Comes into it on 6f and 7f form earlier in the year but beaten fair way out over 1m since. |
|||
(10)  (11/1 -10%)Climate Change |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Climate Change 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, took a small step forward when third of 10 on handicap debut at Southwell (7.1f) 5 months ago. Makes turf debut and could have a say provided he's ready to roll. Raced only on AW; encouraging 3rd on handicap debut (7f) in February; can improve. |
|||
(12)  (16/1 +0%)Daisy Roots |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Daisy Roots 16/1, 14/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good) 24 days ago, left behind gradually 2f out. Others more persuasive. More convincing form over 7f than 1m but others still higher up the list. |
|||
(7)  (22/1 -10%)Beautron |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Beautron 22/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, racing without cover. Cheekpieces on 1st time. All races at 6f; form deteriorated since winning handicap debut in June; queried at 7f. |
|||
(11)  (22/1 -10%)Rockin Rosa |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Rockin Rosa 22/1, 15/2, ran just respectably upped in trip when third of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Prominent 6f run on return but minor efforts since, at 6f, 7f and 1m; cheekpieces on. |
|||
(6)  (33/1 +0%)Global Crisis |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Global Crisis 33/1, Possibly failed to stay when fifth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Signs of ability over 6f but well held in handicaps and faded over 7f at Haydock latest. |
|||
(13)  (40/1 +20%)Wrenegade Lad |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Wrenegade Lad 40/1, 40/1, made more impact than previously when fourth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Difficult ask. More encouragement when 4th at Beverley latest (7f, good to firm); thereabouts. |
|||
(8)  (50/1 +0%)Bowleaze |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bowleaze 50/1, No show in a couple of handicaps this term so she's very hard to fancy. Had a breathing op since last seen. Signs of ability on AW as 2yo; heavy defeats in handicaps this year; wind op since latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
CLIMATE CHANGE stepped forward when third on his handicap bow at Southwell in February and Julie Camacho's gelding makes plenty of appeal on his turf debut. Fortuitous Star has run with credit on both starts this season, finishing third at Newcastle and Ripon, which gives her every chance of another decent showing. Slippin Jimmy, Nightout and Highfield Viking appeal most of the remainder.
Richard Fahey took this corresponding race 12 months ago and can repeat that feat with SLIPPIN JIMMY, who deserves plenty of credit for his consistency and looks ready to strike again judged on his Haydock effort earlier this month. Vortigan was just a place behind the selection that day and he could well emerge as the main danger, with Highfield Viking and Fortuitous Star another could fancied to go well.
Many of them have something to prove but AW winner SLIPPIN JIMMY looks solid to go well after taking a late second at Haydock.

(7)  (1.75/1 -7%)Violets Star |
1.75/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Violets Star 1.75/1, Sent off at big odds (150/1) but made a promising debut when second of 9 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, soft) 33 days ago. Can go well again with that first experience behind her. Fine start when 2nd at 150-1 at Thirsk last month (7f, good to soft); more to come; chance. |
|||
(4)  (2/1 -6%)Sidney's Son |
2/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sidney's Son 2/1, Fair gelding. Soon back on track when second of 5 in minor event at this course (6f, good to firm, 11/2) 29 days ago. Can build on that to go one better. Strong form claims and latest 2nd here (6f) was a career best; significant rain a negative. |
|||
(5)  (4.5/1 -13%)Chico Dulce |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Chico Dulce 4.5/1, Shaped better than result on debut when fifth of 8 in minor event (50/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 23 days ago, travelling well before weakening final 1f. Can take a step forward from that run to get involved. Dropped away late on debut but shaped with some promise; open to improvement; contender. |
|||
(9)  (16/1 +0%)English Wren |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) English Wren 16/1, 5,000 gns yearling, Cityscape filly. Dam, 5f/6f winner, closely related to useful winner up to 6f Englishman. Watch for market clues. 5,000gns yearling; dam a fair sprinter; worth market check in this uncompetitive maiden. |
|||
(2)  (20/1 +0%)Lucky Protector |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lucky Protector 20/1, Fared no better than on debut when seventh of 9 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 28/1) 10 days ago. Improvement required. Just modest form in two novice runs this summer; this is weak but still needs plenty more. |
|||
(1)  (40/1 +0%)Mikkmu |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mikkmu 40/1, £800 yearling, Mattmu gelding. Closely related to 5f winner Bitter Lemon and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 6f/7f winner Citron Major and 2-y-o 6f winner Firedanser. Best watched on belated debut. Has four winning siblings but he would be a surprise winner on this belated debut. |
|||
(3)  (40/1 +0%)Moon Friend |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moon Friend 40/1, Well held both starts last year, thirteenth of 15 in minor event at this course (6f, good to soft, 200/1) when last seen in October. Needs to show much more as he returns from 9 months off. Big prices and well beaten in two 6f runs last autumn; not easily recommended on return. |
|||
(10)  (50/1 +0%)Magnolia Hawks |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Magnolia Hawks 50/1, Always behind on her first outing when last of 6 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, soft, 33/1) 33 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Modest form when last of six at Beverley on last month's debut; not easily recommended. |
|||
(8)  (66/1 +0%)Beanie Blue |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Beanie Blue 66/1, Still in need of the experience when tenth of 11 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 250/1) 64 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Slowly away and well beaten in two 6f novices; can do better when handicapping. |
|||
(6)  (100/1 +0%)Madge Mcsplash |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Madge Mcsplash 100/1, Offered little in 2 starts in May, thirteenth of 14 in minor event at Haydock (1m, good to firm, 200/1) 58 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Poor form in two novice runs in May (7f and 1m); minor handicaps more suitable after this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Violets Star was allowed to start at 150/1 on her Thirsk debut, but outran her odds to be beaten less than a length into second. If she improves for the run she could be a force to be reckoned with here, yet SIDNEY'S SON is narrowly preferred. A six-race maiden, he has been running on over six furlongs and weakening late over the seven he faces here, but this flat track may well see him at his best. Chico Dulce showed some promise at Newcastle and he could be the one for third.
SIDNEY'S SON wasted no time getting back to form when runner-up at this course last month and he can go one better returned to 7f. Violets Star belied her big odds when second at Thirsk on debut and she could be the main danger, ahead of Chico Dulce who shaped better than the result on his first start.
Violets Star and CHICO DULCE shaped well on their respective debuts and can fight out the finish.

(5)  (2.75/1 +31%)Cancan In The Rain |
2.75/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cancan In The Rain 2.75/1, 9/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 30 days ago, sticking to task. Reliable type who is worthy of respect. Game effort at Newmarket (1m, good) latest; 2lb rise fair; can feature in a deeper race. |
|||
(1)  (3/1 +25%)Dora Milaje |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dora Milaje 3/1, Thrice-raced winner. Third of 5 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 11/4) 22 days ago, having run of race. Not without hope. Won her first 2 starts before a solid 3rd on h'cap debut latest; should be more to come. |
|||
(3)  (4.5/1 +25%)Bear On The Loose |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bear On The Loose 4.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. Seventh of 9 in minor event (4/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 32 days ago, folding tamely. Back down in trip. Hood back on. Makes handicap debut. Too soon to write off. No hood (back now) at Newcastle last month & ran a shocker; of interest on first 2 starts. |
|||
(9)  (6/1 +25%)No Barrier |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) No Barrier 6/1, 16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, very good second of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 10 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly. Blinkers helped when 2nd at Doncaster ten days ago; more needed in a deeper race. |
|||
(6)  (6/1 +33%)Reidh |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Reidh 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good) 36 days ago, hampered. Not discounted. Engaged 9.00 Haydock Saturday. Promise in novice/maiden company; no progress in handicaps; declared 9.00 Haydock Saturday. |
|||
(8)  (11/1 +8%)Greycious Anna |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Greycious Anna 11/1, Course winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Not completely dismissed. 7f winner here last summer; good effort at Catterick last time and extra furlong a plus. |
|||
(7)  (33/1 +34%)Vince Le Prince |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Vince Le Prince 33/1, Course winner. Last of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft, 9/1) 83 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. 7f winner here on debut one year ago; struggled since and has plenty to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Greycious Anna ran on well over a furlong shorter at Catterick last time and is well worth another try at the mile, but if top-weight DORA MILAJE can set her own pace at the head of affairs, she may win for the third time on only her fourth start. Bear On The Loose might do a lot better returning to this trip after fading rapidly over further, while Five Towns sports a tongue-tie and could also get into the mix.
FIVE TOWNS has few miles on the clock and upped her game when second at Haydock last time so she's fancied to go one better and double her tally in a first-time tongue strap. Cancan In The Rain and No Barrier are obvious dangers.
Cancan In The Rain is feared but the progressive DORA MILAJE (nap) can regain the winning thread.

4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Streetscape 4/1, 15/2, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good) 14 days ago. Merits consideration. 0-9 but he has run a series of good races in handicaps this year; should be involved again. |
|||
(2)  (4.5/1 +0%)Calcutta Dream |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Calcutta Dream 4.5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in January. 6/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (1¼m, good) 11 days ago, never nearer. Big player from an unchanged mark. 3-time AW winner; best turf run when 2nd at Yarmouth latest; major player. |
|||
(5)  (5.5/1 -10%)We Still Believe |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) We Still Believe 5.5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Pulled up over hurdles 3 weeks ago but his recent Flat efforts have been creditable. Generally run well on the Flat for this yard and he's more appealing than many today. |
|||
(14)  (8/1 -14%)Ribkana |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Ribkana 8/1, Yet to win but knocking on the door lately, including second of 8 over 1¼m at Beverley (good to soft) 15 days ago. Enters calculations. 0-11 but second in three of her last five starts; conditions should be fine; e-w shout. |
|||
(7)  (8.5/1 -13%)Quoteline Direct |
8.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Quoteline Direct 8.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Claims if in similar form. Runner-up in both AW starts this year; had run well here before; others stronger today. |
|||
(6)  (8.5/1 +0%)Gilbert |
8.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gilbert 8.5/1, Latest win at Windsor in June. Below form eighth of 15 in classified event at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Back down in trip. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. Flopped last time but it was his third quick run; one to consider after a short break. |
|||
(8)  (12/1 -9%)Without Delay |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Without Delay 12/1, Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 11/2) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip. On a good mark and this trip should suit better than the 7f she tackled 11 days ago. |
|||
(4)  (18/1 -13%)Mekbat |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mekbat 18/1, 8/1, creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 24 days ago. First-time blinkers need to give him something extra. Not disgraced on AW the last twice; new trip and headgear need to give him a lift. |
|||
(9)  (20/1 +0%)Thomas Cranmer |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Thomas Cranmer 20/1, Twenty nine runs since last win in 2018. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 82 days ago. Has work to do. On a long losing run and his close 6th on his return came in a slowly run race. |
|||
(1)  (22/1 +0%)Great Colaci |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Great Colaci 22/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (13f, good to soft, 12/1) 24 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Not hit top gear back from a long absence but down in grade and he's not discounted. |
|||
(12)  (33/1 -18%)Robin Goodfellow |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Robin Goodfellow 33/1, Poor maiden. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (11f, soft, 18/1) 34 days ago. Last two runs not too shabby but this exposed maiden is easy enough to take on. |
|||
(11)  (33/1 +0%)Skedaddled |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Skedaddled 33/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to soft) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Exposed maiden who was below par on soft on Tuesday; headgear back on today. |
|||
(10)  (50/1 +0%)Zandora |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Zandora 50/1, No better than mid-division in varied events. Likely booked for another struggle. Unplaced in all eight starts and not easily recommended. |
|||
(13)  (50/1 +0%)Lukla |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Lukla 50/1, Poor form. Sixth of 7 in seller (100/1) at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Not easy to make a case for. Best efforts have come over 5f and this trip is a step into the unknown. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Tim Easterby won this in 2018 with a three-year-old and lightning may strike twice with RIBKANA in 2023. She was headed close home when second over a furlong further at Beverley last time out and, if she can be held up and produced late on, she may go one better. Quoteline Direct has been running well without winning on the all-weather recently and he could go well, though Calcutta Dream might make it an Easterby family one-two if he can get away on level terms.
A repeat of the form CALCUTTA DREAM showed when runner-up at Yarmouth recently might be good enough to see him go one better this time. Ribkana has shown she can be very competitive off this mark lately and is second choice ahead of Streetscape and Quoteline Direct.
Calcutta Dream is one to take seriously but GILBERT has strong claims on the pick of this season's form.

(7)  (2/1 -23%)Portoro |
2/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Portoro 2/1, Promising sort. 9/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, soft) for John Butler 8 days ago. Obvious claims in a very thin race. Made a mockery of his opening mark last weekend (soft); leading claims despite a 13lb rise. |
|||
(6)  (7/1 +7%)Star Of St James |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Star Of St James 7/1, Creditable third of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Chance on old form and back in reasonable heart lately. Poor strike-rate on turf, but running well on slow ground lately; is one to consider. |
|||
(1)  (7/1 +0%)Irv |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Irv 7/1, 11/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago, just failing. Enters calculations. Patchy record on slow ground but holds obvious claims on his recent Nottingham second. |
|||
(4)  (7.5/1 +0%)Codswallop |
7.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Codswallop 7.5/1, 4/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 days ago. One to consider. 8lb lower than when winning last summer; rain would be a concern but claims otherwise. |
|||
(5)  (7.5/1 +6%)Temper Trap |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Temper Trap 7.5/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Back up in trip. Chance if rediscovering old form. Won't mind rain and the step back up from 7f should help but he's struggled this season. |
|||
(11)  (18/1 +0%)Mad Artymaise |
18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Mad Artymaise 18/1, Creditable third of 9 in minor event (14/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 32 days ago, barely adequate test. Likely to find this on the sharp side, too. Poor maiden; better off back into a handicap but she's had any number of chances. |
|||
(9)  (18/1 +0%)Imprint |
18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Imprint 18/1, 9/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 11 days ago, hampered. Others look better treated. Booking of Oisin Murphy (second ride for the yard) draws the eye; needs to settle better. |
|||
(12)  (20/1 +0%)Girl From Italy |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Girl From Italy 20/1, Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft, 17/2) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others make more appeal. Inconsistent; pulled hard back down to 7f latest; needs to settle better. |
|||
(2)  (20/1 +20%)Jewel Of Kabeir |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jewel Of Kabeir 20/1, Visored for 1st time, good third of 7 in handicap (15/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. One to consider for all that she requires some improvement. Visor looked to help on her recent comeback over 7.4f; that gave her something to build on. |
|||
(13)  (25/1 +0%)Future Times |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Future Times 25/1, Visored for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good, 12/1) 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Others make more appeal. Headgear has helped but he's an exposed maiden who probably wouldn't want rain. |
|||
(3)  (28/1 -12%)Royal Prospect |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Royal Prospect 28/1, Course winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Now below last winning mark but not threatening to capitalise. This is easier off a sliding mark and he's fine on any ground but 1m1f stretches him. |
|||
(10)  (50/1 +0%)Brunello Breeze |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Brunello Breeze 50/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 18 days ago, never nearer. Significantly back up in trip. Longstanding, regressive maiden who's been tried over various trips; outsider. |
|||
(14)  (50/1 +0%)Miss Raindrop |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Miss Raindrop 50/1, 20/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Must improve. Poor maiden; comes right back in distance this afternoon; isn't obviously fancied. |
|||
(8)  (66/1 +0%)Mollies Hope |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mollies Hope 66/1, Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 18/1), racing closer to pace than ideal. Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Struggled last year and the returning tongue-tie isn't enough to tempt. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Narrowly denied over further at Nottingham last time out, IRV can gain compensation on this occasion off a mark that is 1lb lower than his last victory. The seven-year-old may just have too much for easy Salisbury winner Portoro, who is bound to find life much tougher off a 13lb higher perch. The relatively consistent Star Of St James and Codswallop are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
PORTORO bolted up on handicap debut at Salisbury 8 days ago and there's every chance he'll follow up for his new trainer, taking on mostly exposed types here. Irv and Star of St James could fight it out if the selection fluffs his lines.
Still eligible for 0-55 company, the lightly raced PORTORO can defy a 13lb rise for last weekend's easy win on 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.
