1st (4)  (9/1 +36%)Dakota Power |
9/1(+36%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dakota Power 9/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Only seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 20/1) 52 days ago so plenty more is needed. 1-14 with his win coming on the AW; 0-3 on turf and plenty to prove. |
|||
2nd (10)  (9/2 +0%)Amaysmont |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Amaysmont 9/2, 5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago, slowly away. Needs considering in his bid to end a long losing sequence. 1-22 on turf but seems to handle a soft surface well; no surprise if he plays a part. |
|||
3rd (2)  (6/1 +0%)Beau Jardine |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Beau Jardine 6/1, Course winner but he came in last of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good, 9/4) 8 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return. Well proven in testing conditions and has won fresh in the past; market useful. |
|||
4th (11)  (14/1 -17%)Voltaic |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Voltaic 14/1, Course winner. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 8/1). Off 119 days but merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. Infrequent winner and off four months, but he does have winning form in heavy ground. |
|||
5th (6)  (8/1 -60%)King Of Speed |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) King Of Speed 8/1, Scored at Wolverhampton in February and has remained in good form, fourth of 9 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 7 days ago. Must enter calculations. Has winning form in soft ground and has twice run with credit since returned to turf. |
|||
6th (1)  (28/1 -75%)King Of The Dance |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) King Of The Dance 28/1, 28/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 27 days ago. More is required. 1-14 with his win coming on the AW; best turf efforts have come on fast ground. |
|||
7th (14)  (11/1 +45%)Rainbow Sign |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Rainbow Sign 11/1, On a long losing run but he recorded a respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 20/1) 6 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Possibilities. 2-39 but has run well in heavy ground and holds frame possibilities; visor on. |
|||
8th (12)  (7/1 +13%)Princess Naomi |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Princess Naomi 7/1, Yet to hit top form in 2024, only sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 43 days ago. Has work to do. 7lb below her last winning mark but has finished out of the frame in her last eight starts. |
|||
9th (8)  (22/1 -10%)Fact Or Fable |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fact Or Fable 22/1, Below-form seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 20/1). Off 167 days and others are preferred. Back off last winning mark and has run well on soft; 167-day absence the question mark. |
|||
10th (3)  (3/1 +33%)Luna Magic |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Luna Magic 3/1, Took this event in 2022 and posted a good second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 27 days ago. Player off an unchanged mark. 1lb higher than when winning this in 2022; most wins on good to firm but has won on soft. |
|||
11th (5)  (20/1 -67%)Cobh Harbour |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cobh Harbour 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 72 days ago. Others more persuasive. Early promise in 2023, but well held in two AW handicaps this year; enough to prove. |
|||
12th (9)  (22/1 -175%)Alyara |
22/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Alyara 22/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/2) when last seen out 169 days ago. Others appeal more. Record of 2-31 and 169-day absence suggest that others are more likely. |
|||
13th (7)  (50/1 -150%)Iconic Knight |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Iconic Knight 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 7 months ago. Cheekpieces go on for the first time on his reappearance. Has won on soft, but his record fresh suggests the run will be needed; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
AMAYSMONT bounced back to form with a solid runner-up effort at Southwell recently and this return to turf could prove fruitful. Kevin Frost's charge has shown a liking for testing ground conditions in the past and the seven-year-old looks ready to capitalise racing off the same mark as last week. Triple course winner Luna Magic always warrants a second look at this venue and, despite this trip looking shorter than ideal, she's feared most. King Of Speed and Beau Jardine are also noted.
Veteran-mare LUNA MAGIC captured this prize in 2022 for Archie Watson/Brodie Hampson and is fancied to repeat the feat on the back of her good recent Lingfield second. King of Speed is another weighted to go well and heads the list of dangers, although Amaysmont and Voltaic also command plenty of respect in this very open handicap.
This can go to LUNA MAGIC who won this race off 1lb lower two years ago and has winning form in soft ground.

1st (5)  (10/3 +26%)Running Queen |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Running Queen 10/3, Kingman filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1m/9f winner Momarasa and 6.5f winner Zawaaya, both in France. Showed promise when fourth of 8 in maiden (9/2) at Newbury (5.2f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago, running green. Open to improvement. Promising fourth of eight on last month's Newbury debut; should be bang there. |
|||
2nd (2)  (5/2 +0%)Betty Clover |
5/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Betty Clover 5/2, Time Test filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Another Thought. Dam unraced. Became the third winning 2-y-o newcomer for her stable when overcoming a slow start in 14-runner novice at Bath 16 days ago, well on top finish. Clocked a good time that day and beat a subsequent winner, so lots to like. Won well on last month's Bath debut and the runner-up won next time; respected. |
|||
3rd (1)  (5/2 -25%)Convo |
5/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Convo 5/2, Kodiac half-sister to 1m winner Jibber Jabber and 2-y-o 5f winner Sea Breezing. Impressive start when winning 6-runner newcomers race at Saint-Cloud (4.5f, heavy) by 5 lengths from a next-time-out winner, leading over 1f out and quickening clear. Proven in the mud so solid claims. Bolted up in heavy ground on Saint-Cloud debut; runner-up won next time. |
|||
4th (9)  (9/2 +25%)Royal Equerry |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Royal Equerry 9/2, Foaled March 30. Kingman filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1m-2m winner Call To Mind and Acomb Stakes winner Recorder. Dam 2-y-o 6f (including Albany and Cherry Hinton Stakes) winner who stayed 1m. One to note. Beautifully bred and stable has a fine record with 2yos first-time out; market crucial. |
|||
5th (7)  (12/1 +0%)Emporess |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Emporess 12/1, Foaled February 15. €36,000 foal, 55,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Dam maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Empowering out of useful winner up to 1m (2-y-o 1m winner) Blue Cloud. Yard won this in 2017. Stable not renowned for winning 2yo newcomers. |
|||
6th (6)  (18/1 +55%)Spring |
18/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Spring 18/1, 75,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear filly. Sister to useful 6f winner Scarlet Bear and 2-y-o 6f winner Elinor Dashwood. 16/1, little encouragement when last of 8 in maiden at Newbury (5.2f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago. Behind Running Queen when last of eight on her Newbury debut; much more needed. |
|||
7th (4)  (50/1 +0%)Piranha Rama |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Piranha Rama 50/1, 12,000 gns yearling, Massaat filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 6f Go On Go On Go On and 5f/6f winner Dahawi. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. 28/1, very green when eighth of 9 in Novice event at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) on debut 13 days ago. Ran green and well held on Windsor debut; needs to step up considerably. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Betty Clover looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut at Bath last month and another bold bid is forecast from the daughter of Time Test. However, CONVO was slightly more impressive in her opening victory at Saint-Cloud in March and her proven effectiveness in arduous ground conditions edges the vote for Amy Murphy's filly. Running Queen is entitled to build on her Newbury fourth in April, while market support for newcomer Royal Equerry would be interesting.
CONVO was a wide-margin maiden winner under similar conditions at Saint-Cloud 6 weeks ago so shades the vote over Betty Clover, who clocked a decent time when beating a subsequent winner in good style at Bath. All 3 newcomers are in receipt of weight, with Royal Equerry looking the pick before market clues.
The choice is CONVO who relished the heavy ground when making a winning debut at Saint-Cloud. That could make all the difference.

1st (5)  (4/1 -45%)Sub Thirteen |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sub Thirteen 4/1, First run since leaving Ronald Harris and 5/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to soft) 16 days ago, in touch and forging clear late on. Big shout up 3 lb. 3lb higher than when off the mark on stable debut at Bath; soft ground and 5f the question. |
|||
2nd (4)  (3/1 +25%)Connie's Rose |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Connie's Rose 3/1, Below form eighth of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Bath (5.7f, soft) 7 days ago. First run here and interesting if she can bag the lead. Front-runner who acts on any ground; lesser effort last time, but could get her own way. |
|||
3rd (1)  (11/4 -57%)Safari Dream |
11/4(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Safari Dream 11/4, Dual winner at 2 yrs (first past the post 3 times). Creditable third of 6 in handicap (11/4) at Windsor (5.1f, good to soft) 6 days ago, not clear run. A while without a win but is surely capable of picking up one of these 0-75s. Ran better when third at Windsor last time and has run well on heavy ground; respected. |
|||
4th (2)  (10/3 +0%)Lihou |
10/3(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lihou 10/3, 14/1, below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Epsom (5f, good) 12 days ago, slowly away and losing front shoes. Down in grade, further 2 lb drop in the weights can only help his cause and he won on his only other run here. 1-1 over C&D and 9lb below his last winning mark; acts on any ground; respected. |
|||
5th (3)  (6/1 +57%)Umming N' Ahing |
6/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Umming N' Ahing 6/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year. Off 6 months and 28/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 34 days ago. Should strip fitter. In fine form this time last year; acts well on soft ground but latest efforts raise doubts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A 2lb drop in the ratings could prove lenient for LIHOU, who caught the eye when a staying-on fifth at Epsom recently. A previous C&D winner, David Evans' veteran is now 9lb below his last winning mark and this class 5 contest looks ripe for the taking. Safari Dream posted a solid third at Windsor on Monday and he's feared most. Sub Thirteen made a winning stable bow at Bath last month and a 3lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent him being involved too.
SAFARI DREAM might have gone close with a clear run at Windsor on Monday and looks the way to go from the same mark. Sub Thirteen made the perfect start for Tony Carroll at Bath and is the obvious danger.
The vote goes to LIHOU (nap) who has dropped 9lb below his last winning mark and is 1-1 over C&D.

(2)  (7/2 -75%)Ever Driven |
7/2(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ever Driven 7/2, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth on Windsor debut in July and actually advanced his form when ninth of 14 in a strong York Ebor meeting maiden the following month. Should be up to making his presence felt with his sights lowered. Promising debut before held in the Convivial Maiden; shown enough to figure in this field. |
|||
1st (1)  (7/4 -111%)Fast Society |
7/4(-111%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fast Society 7/4, Promising type. 11/1, won 9-runner novice at Southwell (7f) in September. Capable of better again and every chance he can defy the penalty in this line-up. Improved from debut when making just about all at Southwell last September; major player. |
|||
2nd (4)  (6/1 +85%)King's Scholar |
6/1(+85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King's Scholar 6/1, 80/1, tenth of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 18 days ago. More one for the longer term on that evidence. Tenth of 13 on last month's Kempton debut; best watched for now. |
|||
3rd (9)  (10/1 +29%)Synthesize |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Synthesize 10/1, Land Force half-sister to winners Be Frank (6f) and My Bonnie Lassie (6f 2yo). Dam 1m1f-12.5f winner. Worth a precautionary betting check on debut. Has been found a moderate race in which to make her debut; market informative. |
|||
4th (8)  (12/1 -20%)Questionable |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Questionable 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, stepped up on debut when fifth of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) 12 days ago. Well held in both starts in 7f AW maidens; handicaps beckon. |
|||
5th (5)  (9/2 +44%)Sanat |
9/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sanat 9/2, 17/2, eighth of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (1m, good to firm, 17/2) on debut 17 days ago. Should make more of an impact in this weaker race. Didn't seem to handle Newmarket when eighth in the Wood Ditton; can do better. |
|||
6th (3)  (10/3 +87%)Jazz Scene |
10/3(+87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jazz Scene 10/3, 28/1, seventh of 11 in novice at Doncaster (7f, soft) on debut 9 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot in a short time. Well-held seventh of 11 on recent Doncaster debut; may need a bit more time. |
|||
7th (7)  (22/1 +67%)Phoenix Moon |
22/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Phoenix Moon 22/1, Well held in a pair of novice events 8 months apart. Little to get excited about in first two starts over 5.7f/1m on turf/AW eight months apart. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Sanat caught the eye on his Newmarket debut, when getting in touch after starting slowly and then weakening late on over the mile having become unbalanced. Sure to have learned plenty from that experience, he could be the biggest danger to FAST SOCIETY, the only winner in the field. He made most of the running to hold off all challengers at Southwell last September and could be up to giving 5lb or more to today's opponents on his first start since being gelded. Jazz Scene and Questionable may prove best of the rest.
This doesn't look a strong novice so Southwell-winner FAST SOCIETY might be up to giving the weight away. Ever Driven wasn't disgraced in the valuable Convivial maiden at last year's York Ebor meeting and is second choice ahead of Sanat, who hinted at ability on his debut in the Wood Ditton at the Newmarket Craven meeting.
The choice is FAST SOCIETY who showed a good attittude when winning at Southwell last September.

1st (1)  (11/8 +27%)Kotari |
11/8(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kotari 11/8, 18/1, won 14-runner handicap at Windsor (10f, good) 20 days ago. Still lightly raced for his age and he sets a good standard, with the potential for better still. 4lb higher than at Windsor but softer conditions here are by no means certain to benefit. |
|||
2nd (2)  (13/8 +19%)Hakuna Babe |
13/8(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hakuna Babe 13/8, Winner at Windsor in October. 6/4, first run since leaving William Jarvis when 15 lengths ninth of 14 to Kotari in handicap there (10f, good) 20 days ago. Notably strong in the betting last time and could be worth another chance. Ran poorly at Windsor but she's one who will handle these testing conditions. |
|||
3rd (3)  (12/1 -100%)Mildyjama |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mildyjama 12/1, First run since leaving Ralph Beckett when respectable 5 lengths sixth of 14 to Kotari in handicap (28/1) at Windsor (10f, good) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should come on for the run but others still make greater appeal. Dual winner for previous yard; beaten 5l on debut for this one and cheekpieces are added. |
|||
4th (5)  (8/1 -14%)New Dayrell |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) New Dayrell 8/1, Winner at Sandown in August. 14/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Off 169 days. Others appeal as more solid. Last season petered out tamely after making most in an amateur riders' race at Sandown. |
|||
5th (4)  (8/1 -33%)Galileo's Compass |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Galileo's Compass 8/1, First run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when fourteenth of 18 in handicap (20/1) at Newbury (10f, good) 15 days ago. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces back on. Bit to prove after low-key yard debut. Quiet on stable debut but the headgear that worked in Ireland now returns. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Kotari won cleverly last time out at Windsor over this trip and although 4lb higher in the handicap now, he should go well for Gary and Josh Moore. Hakuna Babe has 15 lengths to find with the selection on that run but is better than that and shouldn't be dismissed, although MILDYJAMA get the nod at these weights. Five lengths adrift of Kotari that day in sixth, cheekpieces are added for the first time here and, 5lb better off with the winner here, she looks to have every chance.
KOTARI had a couple of these behind when winning at Windsor last time and can follow up with Josh Moore now joining his father on the licence. Hakuna Babe was sent off favourite for that Windsor contest and can be given another chance having signed off last season with a win, with Mildyjama preferred of the remainder.
Ed Walker's HAKUNA BABE is the only runner proven under these conditions and she can leave her Windsor form behind.

4/9(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sam Hawkens 4/9, Promising individual. 5/1, fifth of 10 in novice event at Newbury (10f, good to soft) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Up in trip, which is sure to suit, so leading claims. Second to useful rival on 2yo debut and fifth in Newbury novice last month; good chance. |
|||
2nd (1)  (2/1 -14%)Marhaba Million |
2/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Marhaba Million 2/1, Sent off 66/1 after a low-key debut but showed a lot more when third of 10 in maiden at Newbury (11f, good) 15 days ago. Should progress again. Bettered inauspicious debut when third (albeit well held) in valuable Newbury maiden. |
|||
4th (3)  (66/1 +34%)Snow Eagle |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Snow Eagle 66/1, 250/1, tenth of 13 in novice event at Windsor (10f, good) 20 days ago, hampered. Up in trip. A well-beaten outsider on first two outings and can't be recommended here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on what they have shown so far, both Wahoo King and Snow Eagle have plenty to find, so it can pay to focus on Sam Hawkens and MARHABA MILLION, with the latter suggested as the one to be with given he is the more stoutly-bred of the two. A respectable third behind a well-regarded Derby entrant and a nicely-bred debutant at Newbury 15 days ago, the selection got better the further he went that day and looks tailor-made for a crack at this slightly longer trip.
Almost certainly a match between SAM HAWKENS and Marhaba Million who both shaped with plenty of promise in different races at Newbury recently. Marginal preference is for the Hannon runner.
Marhaba Million was a very respectable third at Newbury last month, but SAM HAWKENS looked quite useful on his first two outings.

7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Warranty 7/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler who was off 13 months/left Gary Moore after final 2022/23 outing. Pulled up at Taunton 24 days ago, but had shaped as if retaining ability on his return so he's interesting back on the level. Back from long absence with two disappointing hurdle runs; first Flat start since 2021. |
|||
2nd (5)  (9/2 -80%)Young Merlin |
9/2(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Young Merlin 9/2, After 5 months off from hurdling, shaped best when third of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Nottingham (16f, heavy) 15 days ago, finishing well having conceded first run. Can make his presence felt. Won three times over hurdles last summer and ran well when back on the Flat last month. |
|||
3rd (9)  (2/1 +83%)Basilette |
2/1(+83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Basilette 2/1, Bumper winner but remains a maiden in this sphere. Failed to step up on her recent run when fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 10/1) 61 days ago. Needs to find more. Dropped another 2lb since respectable AW fifth in March but others appeal more. |
|||
4th (7)  (11/4 -120%)Corsican Caper |
11/4(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Corsican Caper 11/4, After just 3 days off, made it back-to-back wins when scoring decisively in 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, soft, 5/2) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly in his current form. Two soft-ground wins last month (1m4f/1m6f); seriously considered. |
|||
5th (6)  (11/1 -57%)Fravanco |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fravanco 11/1, Ran well when second at Kempton (12f) in February, but wasn't in the same form when sixth of 13 in handicap (9/2) at the same C&D 25 days ago. Bounce back called for returned to turf. Second twice over 1m4f on AW during the winter and should be fine back on turf. |
|||
6th (4)  (14/1 -75%)Captain Haddock |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Captain Haddock 14/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. After 6 months off, well below form when sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 17/2) 42 days ago. Drops in grade but return of blinkers needs to help spark a revival. Ended last season with two heavy defeats and again disappointed on reappearance. |
|||
7th (8)  (20/1 +0%)Arthalot |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Arthalot 20/1, Fourth at Bath in October but went backwards from that effort over hurdles on his next 3 starts. Fared no better back on the Flat when last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, 20/1) in February. Has had wind op with blinkers reapplied. In poor form over hurdles and on Flat during winter; had wind op in March. |
|||
8th (2)  (40/1 +0%)Looksee |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Looksee 40/1, Down the field both starts in bumpers and his third in minor event at Leicester on the Flat last summer remains a standout effort. After 6 months off, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good, 80/1) 20 days ago. Placed at huge odds in a novice last summer but well down the field in both handicaps. |
|||
9th (1)  (66/1 -164%)Summer Gale |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Summer Gale 66/1, Making his third start over hurdles, ran poorly on first outing since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when pulled up in maiden at Fakenham (20f, heavy, 40/1) in December. Others more persuasive as he goes handicapping back on the Flat. Ex-Irish maiden who struggled in a maiden hurdle on stable debut in December; too risky. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Young Merlin holds no secrets form the handicapper but can figure back on the Flat off a competitive mark, while Fravanco is open to progress at this sort of trip and returns to turf off 1lb lower than his last winning mark on synthetics. However, CORSICAN CAPER looks the one to beat after skipping his scheduled engagement at Thirsk on Saturday. Kevin Frost's gelding arrives on a hat-trick after a pair of taking wins in the mud and he won with enough in hand over the extended 1m6f at Doncaster last weekend to suggest he can defy a 6lb rise for that victory.
WARRANTY shaped as if retaining his ability after a lengthy absence in a handicap hurdle at Newbury in March, so he's worth another chance to build on that effort from what looks a workable mark back on the level. Corsican Caper defied a penalty in good style at Doncaster last week, so is respected, with Young Merlin also considered.
This can go to YOUNG MERLIN, who did not enjoy a favourable tactical scenario when third on last month's return to the Flat.

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.
