1st (2) (1.2/1 +47%) Matters Most |
1.2/1(+47%) | (2) Matters Most 1.2/1, Fetched 500,000 gns as a yearling and offered plenty to work on when third of 8 in maiden (11/4) at Newbury (5.2f, heavy) on debut 13 days ago. Likely to improve a lot. 500,000gns yearling; key player as he ties in closely with Kalik on Newbury form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5/1 -11%) Liv My Life |
5/1(-11%) | (8) Liv My Life 5/1, Bred for longer trips but displayed ability when fourth of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago. Will improve. Shaped encouragingly in fillies' maiden at the Newmarket Craven meeting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (16/1 -33%) Chinese Knot |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Chinese Knot 16/1, Foaled April 2. 70,000 gns yearling, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f winner Shumookhi and 9f winner Nautical Mile. 70,000gns yearling; by Kodiac; Oisin Murphy is a positive booking; check the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (80/1 -100%) Part Time Britain |
80/1(-100%) | (3) Part Time Britain 80/1, Tongue tied and too green to show much in the Brocklesby. 5/1, fared no better when fifth of 9 in novice event at Southwell (5f) 25 days ago. Modest RPRs in the Brocklesby and an AW contest; needs to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (1.5/1 -25%) Kalik |
1.5/1(-25%) | (1) Kalik 1.5/1, €300,000 yearling. Promising individual. 9/4, second of 8 in maiden at Newbury (5.2f, heavy) on debut 13 days ago. Leading claims with more to come. 300,000euros yearling; promising second at Newbury two weeks ago; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (16/1 +11%) States |
16/1(+11%) | (4) States 16/1, Shaped as though in need of the run when sixth of 8 in maiden at Newbury (5.2f, heavy) on debut 13 days ago. Open to progress. Appears held by Kalik and Matters Most on Newbury form but seemed to need that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 -52%) Zoulu Chief |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Zoulu Chief 50/1, Foaled January 21. 22,000 gns foal, 27,000 gns yearling, Zoustar colt. Half-brother to 5.3f winner Hattie C. Dam maiden half-sister to 1m winner High Maintenance. 27,000gns yearling; Zoustar half-brother to a 5f winner; market can guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (100/1 -100%) Surface To Air |
100/1(-100%) | (5) Surface To Air 100/1, Last of 5 in novice event at Leicester (5f, heavy, 8/1) on debut 20 days ago. Tailed-off last of five in heavy-ground event at Leicester. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary, 1.2/1 (2) MATTERS MOST and 1.5/1 (1) KALIK appear to be the strongest contenders, with both horses showing promising form at Newbury. 5/1 (8) LIV MY LIFE and 16/1 (4) STATES also have potential for improvement, but may struggle to beat the top two. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be: 1st - 1.2/1 (2) MATTERS MOST 2nd - 1.5/1 (1) KALIK 3rd - 5/1 (8) LIV MY LIFE
KALIK made a promising start to his racing career when filling the runner-up spot over this trip at Newbury last month, and the son of Prince Of Lir could break his maiden at the second time of asking. He is related to a few smart types, including French Group 1-placed Oscula, and he can have another big say in proceedings here. Matters Most finished third behind the selection last time out and is feared most, while the unraced Chinese Knot completes the shortlist.
KALIK and Matters Most cost plenty as a yearling, and having both shaped well in the same maiden at Newbury, they may well dominate this. The former is taken to uphold the form, with Liv My Life the pick of the remainder.
Newbury runner-up KALIK is taken to go one better and give Amo Racing another 2yo winner. Matters Most is feared most.

1st (4) (3/1 +14%) Grenham Bay |
3/1(+14%) | (4) Grenham Bay 3/1, Career best when winning 9-runner minor event at Kempton (6f, 2/1) 33 days ago. Makes handicap debut from a very mark and there should be more to come. Collared a subsequent handicap winner in 6f AW novice last month; has more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/1 +0%) Snuggle |
10/1(+0%) | (3) Snuggle 10/1, Easy-to-back but ran right up to form when third of 9 in novice event at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 23 days ago. Doesn't boast the scope of a few back in a handicap. Below form when odds on two starts ago but this season's other two runs make him a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (5.5/1 +15%) Musical Tribute |
5.5/1(+15%) | (9) Musical Tribute 5.5/1, Sound reappearance when third of 9 in maiden (11/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 34 days ago. Makes handicap debut for in-form yard but mark demands more. Third in 7f AW maiden on seasonal debut; back in trip for handicap debut; has potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (10/1 -43%) Big R |
10/1(-43%) | (8) Big R 10/1, Improved again when second of 11 in novice event at Kempton (6f). Off 7 months. Makes handicap debut. Made the frame in two AW novice races last summer; makes handicap debut after a layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (40/1 -43%) Optiva Star |
40/1(-43%) | (6) Optiva Star 40/1, Gelded after 2-y-o campaign but still looked a hard ride when seventh of 8 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 17 days ago. Back down markedly in trip. Today's drop back in trip is an interesting move but others have much less to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (6/1 +25%) De Bruyne |
6/1(+25%) | (1) De Bruyne 6/1, Promising individual. Won 9-runner novice event (15/8) at Newcastle (6f), finding extra. Off 153 days. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer. Ended three-race 2yo season with 6f AW novice win; bit more needed today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (8/1 +20%) Spirit Of Breeze |
8/1(+20%) | (10) Spirit Of Breeze 8/1, Gelded but still refused to settle when fourth of 10 in novice event at Kempton (6f, 25/1) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Raced far too freely when fourth in AW novice last month; can improve if more relaxed here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (9/1 -6%) Desperate Hero |
9/1(-6%) | (2) Desperate Hero 9/1, Chepstow winner last summer but off 9 months and looked rusty when fifth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 15/2) 22 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Won an ordinary novice last summer but his seasonal/handicap debut was underwhelming. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (11/1 +31%) Flying Spirit |
11/1(+31%) | (7) Flying Spirit 11/1, Justified favouritism at Lingfield in November. Good second of 8 in nursery (13/8) at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 137 days. Can give a good account on return to 6f not expected to pose a problem. In good form in 7f AW nurseries in late 2022; contender if today's test also suits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (6/1 -9%) Skallywag Bay |
6/1(-9%) | (5) Skallywag Bay 6/1, Put experience to good use when winning 10-runner novice event at Kempton (6f), having run of race. Off 7 months. Makes handicap debut from a fair-looking mark. Improved form when making all in 6f AW novice in September, her third start. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will finish in the top three. However, some horses have more potential than others based on recent performances and improvements. One horse to consider is 6/1 (5) SKALLYWAG BAY, who has shown improved form and won a novice event at Kempton before taking a break for seven months. She is making her handicap debut from a fair-looking mark and could potentially do well. Another horse worth considering is 3/1 (4) GRENHAM BAY, who has won a minor event at Kempton and is making her handicap debut from a very fair mark. She has also shown potential by collaring a subsequent handicap winner in a 6f AW novice race. 6/1 (1) DE BRUYNE is another horse with potential, having ended his 2yo season with a 6f AW novice win. He has been off for 153 days but could potentially offer more in his handicap debut. Therefore, based on recent form and potential, the horses predicted to finish in the top three
De Bruyne makes his handicap debut following a game win on the all-weather in December, but he has to shoulder top weight in this contest so SNUGGLE shades the vote on this occasion. He finished a decent third over this trip at Pontefract last month and can get off the mark now returning to the handicap ranks. Grenham Bay remains unexposed and adds further spice to the race, along with Big R.
Assuming he's as effective on turf, Kempton-winner GRENHAM BAY looks well weighted switched to a handicap with the prospect of better to come. De Bruyne also has improvement in the pipeline, with Flying Spirit another to consider on his return to action.
The form GRENHAM BAY showed when winning a Kempton novice last month has been given a good boost by the second since. He gets the nod.

1st (8) (12/1 +25%) Under The Twilight |
12/1(+25%) | (8) Under The Twilight 12/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 8/1) 24 days ago. Opposable kept to 6f. Both wins at 7f on AW; never in the hunt back at 6f latest; trip query back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (2.75/1 +0%) With Respect |
2.75/1(+0%) | (6) With Respect 2.75/1, Tongue strap on for first time, much improved when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 7/1), driven out. Off 91 days but retains handicap scope for in-form yard with Murphy booked. Best form since back from absence when fluent 6f AW winner in February; still well treated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/1 -11%) Michaels Choice |
10/1(-11%) | (5) Michaels Choice 10/1, C&D winner. 11/2, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f), not ideally placed. Off 173 days and won over C&D on last season's reappearance. Won both C&D starts, including on return in 2022; has won on good to soft; headgear off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Parisiac |
6.5/1(-30%) | (1) Parisiac 6.5/1, Easily best of 2023 returned to turf when third of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 12 days ago. Well handicapped if he can build on that. Hood left off. Two 6f wins on soft/good; been quiet but well treated now and back to form latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/1 +8%) Darvel |
11/1(+8%) | (4) Darvel 11/1, Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 16/1) 17 days ago. Back down on last winning mark and now tries 6f for first time since 2-y-o days. Pace-setting winner of two 1m handicaps in 2022; below best this year; now back at 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (3.5/1 +86%) Be Prepared |
3.5/1(+86%) | (9) Be Prepared 3.5/1, C&D winner. 25/1, last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago. Needs to leave that heavy defeat well behind. C&D winner on good to soft; retains ability since back from absence; well treated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (25/1 -56%) Gilt Edge |
25/1(-56%) | (10) Gilt Edge 25/1, Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm), unable to sustain effort. Off 8 months but returns with yard among the winners. Can run well after a break but on a losing run and best form on good or quicker ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (20/1 -150%) Matty Too |
20/1(-150%) | (3) Matty Too 20/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 12/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby but joined another good yard. All 4 wins at 6f/7f on good ground; soft could tax him on return from break for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (11/1 -83%) Oriental Spirit |
11/1(-83%) | (11) Oriental Spirit 11/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (11/8) at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago. Clearly backed as though much better was expected. Has C&D form; this stiff finish should suit and likely to come on for recent reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (11/1 -29%) Airshow |
11/1(-29%) | (2) Airshow 11/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Southwell (6.1f) 25 days ago. Equally effective on turf and capable of bouncing back. Most wins on good/quicker; made all back at 7f on AW in March; not ruled out back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (25/1 +24%) The Cola Kid |
25/1(+24%) | (12) The Cola Kid 25/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (6.1f). Off 135 days. Dropped way down weights since 2nd over C&D last May; not in much form in final 2022 runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (28/1 -75%) Sisters In The Sky |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Sisters In The Sky 28/1, First run since leaving Roger Teal when tenth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 28/1) 17 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Still 4lb higher than latest AW win in January; below best of late; trip query back at 6f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
1st place: 6.5/1 (1) PARISIAC 2nd place: 2.75/1 (6) WITH RESPECT 3rd place: 11/1 (4) DARVEL
It could be worth siding with MATTY TOO, who was last seen securing a comfortable success at Leicester over 7f last October. He made all on that occasion, so a drop in trip may not be enough to stop him making a winning seasonal debut off 2lb higher. Parisiac lines up off the same mark as when a decent third at Thirsk last time out and can give the selection most to think about, while Airshow is another to bear in mind.
WITH RESPECT emphatically stopped the slide in a first-time tongue strap when successful at Southwell in February and this revised mark should be well within range. He's the most persuasive option with Oisin Murphy a positive jockey booking, though Michaels Choice is interesting having won on last season's reappearance over C&D. Oriental Spirit is also considered.
Well-treated WITH RESPECT is suited by soft ground and is quite appealing after a convincing AW win in February.

Yankee Spirit |
(5) (300/1 -140%)300/1(-140%) | (5) Yankee Spirit 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in novice event at Leicester (7f, heavy, 50/1) 20 days ago. Outsider when towards rear on both starts; surely one for later on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (4) (6.5/1 +7%) Quddwah |
6.5/1(+7%) | (4) Quddwah 6.5/1, Kingman colt. Closely related to 7f winner Lawahed, and half-brother to 7f-11f winner Nabbeyl and 1m winner Barshaa. Dam 1m-10.4f winner. Ticks a lot of boxes on paper. Kingman newcomer who's very much one to note. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3.5/1 +50%) Balance Play |
3.5/1(+50%) | (1) Balance Play 3.5/1, Merely matched debut form when third of 12 in minor event (18/5) at Kempton (7f). Off 157 days. Showed promise and plenty of ability last autumn; late foal with useful pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (0.67/1 +0%) Greek Order |
0.67/1(+0%) | (2) Greek Order 0.67/1, Promising type. 6/4, second of 10 in novice event at Newmarket (7f, good to soft), running on. Retains plenty of potential as a 3-y-o. Narrowly the best form in this field and he should still have significant potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (20/1 -43%) Yellow Lion |
20/1(-43%) | (6) Yellow Lion 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, third of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, soft) 16 days ago, well positioned. Needs to improve again to land a novice. Third of seven at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago; another step forward is needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (150/1 -127%) Island Native |
150/1(-127%) | (3) Island Native 150/1, Sixth of 9 in novice event at Kempton (6f, 100/1) 33 days ago. Modest form in his second AW start (both this year); this race will surely prove too tough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (4.5/1 -35%) Shaaden |
4.5/1(-35%) | (8) Shaaden 4.5/1, Promising type. Third of 12 in novice event at this C&D (good, 13/2) on debut. That race worked out pretty well and there should be lots more to come. 13-2, travelled well over 2f out when 3rd in C&D novice (7f, good to soft) last September. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (100/1 -203%) Sundowner |
100/1(-203%) | (10) Sundowner 100/1, Seventh of 10 in novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 18/1). Off 6 months. Modest form towards rear at Newbury (7f, good) and Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last autumn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (300/1 -140%) Marisitta |
300/1(-140%) | (7) Marisitta 300/1, 66/1, fifth of 6 in maiden at Newbury (7f, heavy) on debut 13 days ago. 66-1, upset in the stalls and slowly away at Newbury (7f, soft) 13 days ago, beaten 16l. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the information provided, the horse that is most likely to do well is 0.67/1 (2) GREEK ORDER. The horse has narrowly the best form in the field and is a promising type with significant potential. It finished second in a novice event at Newmarket and retains plenty of potential as a 3-year-old. My predictions for the top three horses in the race are: 1. 0.67/1 (2) GREEK ORDER 2. 4.5/1 (8) SHAADEN 3. 3.5/1 (1) BALANCE PLAY
GREEK ORDER has performed to a fair level on both of his career starts. The son of Kingman hit the frame over C&D on his debut, before being narrowly denied at Newmarket next time out. That level of form gives him leading claims and he can open his account at the third time of asking. Shaaden merits the utmost respect along with Balance Play, while Quddwah is worth a market check ahead of his debut.
GREEK ORDER didn't make the big leap expected of him following a very promising debut when second at Newmarket in the autumn but this well-bred colt retains plenty of potential this year. Shaaden is another useful prospect in the making, with Quddwah an interesting newcomer.
The Charltons' GREEK ORDER may emerge best, having been eclipsed in only the final strides at Newmarket last October.

1st (3) (5.5/1 +31%) Chester Tonik |
5.5/1(+31%) | (3) Chester Tonik 5.5/1, Unreliable individual. 3/1, fared no better than on reappearance when third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 4 weeks ago. Mark continues to tumble but he's tough to put much confidence in. Still a maiden and has not proved straightforward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (18/1 -125%) Fullforward |
18/1(-125%) | (8) Fullforward 18/1, 11/2, suited by longer trip when close fourth of 12 to Ectocross in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 62 days ago. In the mix from just 1 lb higher. Consistent in handicaps; close fourth to Ectocross on latest AW start; solid chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (11/1 -38%) Pink Lily |
11/1(-38%) | (10) Pink Lily 11/1, Improved a little under this claimer when third of 8 in nursery at Chelmsford City (10f, 5/1) in November, every chance until near line. Not dismissed on reappearance. Three bronze medals on AW last autumn; likely player if returning in same form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5.5/1 +31%) Double Down |
5.5/1(+31%) | (5) Double Down 5.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, run best excused when eighth of 14 in handicap (7/2) at Bath (8f, soft) 27 days ago, badly hampered over 1f out. Up in trip. Better than bare result last time; bred to stay this new trip; remains of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (2.5/1 +38%) Gasman |
2.5/1(+38%) | (6) Gasman 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f), weakening when hampered final 1f. Off 101 days. First run for yard after leaving Seamus Durack (also gelded) and could have more to offer for his in-form yard. Gelded since last run and now makes debut for new yard; still unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (33/1 -32%) Jimmy Mark |
33/1(-32%) | (11) Jimmy Mark 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Never a threat when 6½ lengths sixth of 10 to Fullforward on nursery debut at Leicester (8.2f, good, 14/1). Off 6 months. Up in trip. Holds weak claims on 2yo form and is a doubtful stayer upped in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (8/1 -14%) Think Champagne |
8/1(-14%) | (9) Think Champagne 8/1, Got back on track when fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/3) 26 days ago, albeit off the bridle a long way out. Not taken lightly back on turf. Peak AW effort (split subsequent winners) gives him a fighting chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (3.5/1 +13%) Ectocross |
3.5/1(+13%) | (4) Ectocross 3.5/1, Little impact in a trio of novice events for Jim Boyle but left those efforts well behind upped in trip on handicap bow when narrow winner at Lingfield on return last month, doing well to come from last. Creditable third in follow up bid and needs considering again. Landed a gamble on reappearance; ran creditably last time; still open to further progress. |

9th (1) (33/1 -106%) Seahrena |
33/1(-106%) | (1) Seahrena 33/1, Ran no sort of race when last of 6 in minor event (125/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 5 weeks ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. May improve now handicapping on turf in first-time headgear. |

Returns just 2 lb higher and not dismissed if ready to roll. Absent since 1m AW win in November; up just 2lb; could remain competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (80/1 -142%) Quizlet |
80/1(-142%) | (7) Quizlet 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 63 days ago. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes. Poor effort on final run for Charlie Fellowes; sold for just 1,600gns since. |

12th (14) (66/1 +0%) Delightfully Yours |
66/1(+0%) | (14) Delightfully Yours 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, fared little better on handicap/all-weather debut after 7 months off when fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 4 weeks ago. Only a modest fourth on reappearance; more is required. |

Based on the information provided, 18/1 (8) FULLFORWARD, 8/1 (9) THINK CHAMPAGNE, and 3.5/1 (4) ECTOCROSS are the most likely to finish in the top three positions. 18/1 (8) FULLFORWARD has been consistent in handicaps and performed well in a recent AW start, while 8/1 (9) THINK CHAMPAGNE also has a strong AW effort and has gotten back on track in a recent handicap. 3.5/1 (4) ECTOCROSS may also be a contender, having won a recent handicap and showing potential for further progress. However, it's important to note that horse racing can be unpredictable and unexpected outcomes are always possible.
ECTOCROSS appeared to have plenty in hand when winning at Lingfield in March, so it was perhaps slightly disappointing that he couldn't follow up at Nottingham. Simon Dow's charge retains potential, however, and with Oisin Murphy aboard for the first time, he could regain the winning thread. Pink Lily has been running well on the all-weather recently and she must be of interest back on the grass. Chester Tonik heads the remainder.
A host in with chances but GASMAN has been gelded/switched to the in-form Charlie Hills yard since last seen so he makes plenty of appeal having just a second start on the turf. The main threat may come from Ectocross, who left previous efforts well behind on return/handicap bow when scoring at Lingfield in March and he can continue his good run of form. Think Champagne and Fullforward round off the shortlist.
Preference is for ECTOCROSS, who should still have more to offer in handicaps. Double Down is second choice.

1st (9) (18/1 -50%) Eagle Court |
18/1(-50%) | (9) Eagle Court 18/1, Good second of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 24 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again nudged up 1 lb. Close last time; probably back to 2021 for the form needed to take care of today's rivals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.5/1 +25%) Vega Sicilia |
2.5/1(+25%) | (1) Vega Sicilia 2.5/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in December. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 27 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Can bounce back. Big player of he transfers his recent AW form, having taken a minor honour on soft as 2yo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (9/1 +36%) Al Azhar |
9/1(+36%) | (10) Al Azhar 9/1, 17/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, heavy) 23 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. More is needed. Wore cheekpieces last three outings and now has blinkers; well handicapped if back to form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (18/1 +28%) V Twelve |
18/1(+28%) | (8) V Twelve 18/1, Winner at Windsor in October. 16/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, soft) 27 days ago. Others more persuasive. 1m2f win (soft) in October in his second handicap; no show when back to Flat (11.6f, soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 -50%) Lady Labelle |
5/1(-50%) | (2) Lady Labelle 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 7/4, third of 4 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good), unsuited by way race developed. Off 10 months but can't be discounted. Absent since last June and needs better but she's lightly raced and needs a check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (3/1 +25%) Kensington |
3/1(+25%) | (3) Kensington 3/1, Daughter of Frankel who easily won 10-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Off 6 months but remains open to progress on her handicap debut. Interesting. 321 on AW last year under Collen Storey; potential on seasonal, turf and handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (9/1 +25%) Reina Del Mar |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Reina Del Mar 9/1, 5/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft), never nearer. Off 19 months so has her fitness to prove. Absent since some creditable runs in 2021; well handicapped if she returns at her best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (22/1 -10%) On The Right Track |
22/1(-10%) | (11) On The Right Track 22/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 15/2) 37 days ago, cosily. Form been franked so he can make presence felt. Won reappearance (AW); chief concern that well beaten in his 3 runs on softer than good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (9/1 +25%) Later Darling |
9/1(+25%) | (7) Later Darling 9/1, Winner at Kempton in February. 2/1, fading fourth of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 28 days ago so needs considering back in trip. Fit from AW; has a lower mark than during his 2022 turf campaign, so a case can be made. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary, the top three horses predicted to finish in the race are: 1st - 25/1 (11) ON THE RIGHT TRACK 2nd - 20/1 (9) EAGLE COURT 3rd - 2.5/1 (3) KENSINGTON
LADY LABELLE had some smart form in the book last year, perhaps most notably when finishing within three lengths of subsequent Group 2 scorer Al Qareem at York in May. She's in good hands to make further progress and The Gurkha filly ought to prove better than a mark of 78. Kensington struck at Wolverhampton in October and she appeals as a likely contender on her turf/handicap bow, while top-weight Vega Sicilia is another to note.
Frankel filly KENSINGTON appeals as the sort to do well in handicaps this season so is taken to follow up her easy Wolverhampton novice success and make light of her absence. On The Right Track rates a big danger though on the back of his Wolverhampton success, with both Eagle Court and Vega Sicilia capable of having a say too in a competitive handicap.
The well-bred 4yo KENSINGTON, representing the Gosdens, has had just just three races and must be of major interest.

1st (2) (4.5/1 +47%) Tigerten |
4.5/1(+47%) | (2) Tigerten 4.5/1, Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, soft, 22/1) 45 days ago. Fair on the Flat, so needs considering back in this sphere. It's hard to know when he will click again but he needs a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (1.2/1 +40%) Monjules |
1.2/1(+40%) | (5) Monjules 1.2/1, Fair winner at 18f over hurdles and posted a good second at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Interesting back on the level on his handicap debut. 3-5 over hurdles since joining Harry Fry; interesting back on Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (3.5/1 -5%) Easter Icon |
3.5/1(-5%) | (6) Easter Icon 3.5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (15/8) at Southwell (16.5f) 16 days ago, well positioned. Well in the mix. Beaten about 15l on good in all of his three runs on turf; off the mark on AW 16 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7.5/1 -114%) Got Bright |
7.5/1(-114%) | (1) Got Bright 7.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 13/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 20 days ago. Still needs a couple of these to falter. Wind surgery last November and not far away on most starts since (2m/1m6f); e-w chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (12/1 -20%) Arthalot |
12/1(-20%) | (4) Arthalot 12/1, Good fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, soft, 16/1) 23 days ago, not ideally placed. Tongue strap on for 1st time on the Flat (cheekpieces also back on) and shortlisted. Inconsistent on Flat but went close off this mark last August (2m). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (28/1 -40%) Zyra's Lioness |
28/1(-40%) | (9) Zyra's Lioness 28/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Plumpton (17.8f, good to soft) 66 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Poor on the Flat, so others appeal more. Recorded the odd minor honour but without suggesting that a first win is that likely today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (66/1 -32%) Guilty Party |
66/1(-32%) | (10) Guilty Party 66/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (16f). Off 7 months. Something to find on form. Stays 2m and has some ability, but seemingly not enough to play a leading role today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (66/1 -164%) Global Agreement |
66/1(-164%) | (7) Global Agreement 66/1, Unreliable individual. Tongue strap on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, soft, 33/1) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. Runner-up over hurdles in January but out of form in his five starts since; 0-12 on Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (200/1 -203%) Simple Words |
200/1(-203%) | (8) Simple Words 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. First run since leaving Chris Down when last of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Bath (14f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Lots more is needed. Closest in October 2021; off 539 days before last of 13 at Bath (1m6f) 13 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (28/1 -300%) Capricorn Prince |
28/1(-300%) | (3) Capricorn Prince 28/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 10/3, only seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 76 days ago. Unreliable type. Turf win was 2020 and he's run only twice on turf since, well beaten; AW win in February. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, the horse that is most likely to do well and finish in 1st place is 3.5/1 (6) EASTER ICON, who has recently won on AW and had a career-best win in a handicap race. The horse that is likely to finish in 2nd place is 1.25/1 (5) MONJULES, who has had recent success in hurdle races and is interesting to watch in his handicap debut on the flat. The horse that will finish in 3rd place is 6.5/1 (1) GOT BRIGHT, who has been consistent and has a chance to place if a couple of the other horses falter.
Now that the penny has dropped for EASTER ICON after a determined success at Southwell just over a fortnight ago, there should be more to come from the son of Sixties Icon off a 2lb higher mark. Monjules has been in excellent form over hurdles and must be of interest on this switch to the level, while the booking of Oisin Murphy for Got Bright catches the eye.
Harry Fry's MONJULES arrives in top form over hurdles so is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark back on the level (unraced on it since 2021 in France) and gain a breakthrough success in this sphere. Easter Icon is feared most on the back of his recent Southwell success, with Arthalot another to consider for place purposes.
A fair hurdler for his new yard, MONJULES (nap) may well have the perfect opportunity on this first Flat run since 2021.

1st (4) (9/1 +10%) Fred Bear |
9/1(+10%) | (4) Fred Bear 9/1, First run since leaving Sheena West when twelfth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Bath (14f, good to soft) 13 days ago, folding. Needs a big step forward. Two 1m6f turf wins (one on good to soft) last year; may have needed first run for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4/1 +11%) John Betjeman |
4/1(+11%) | (5) John Betjeman 4/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 10/3, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Still needs a couple of these to falter. Running well over hurdles before third of 13 on Flat at Bath (1m6f); 0-22 on Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (12/1 -50%) Where's Tom |
12/1(-50%) | (2) Where's Tom 12/1, Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (13/2) at Kempton (12f) 22 days ago. Eighteen runs since last win in 2020, however. AW form this winter/spring gives him a big shout if stamina can be stretched a bit further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/1 +36%) Fighting Poet |
9/1(+36%) | (6) Fighting Poet 9/1, 7/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Not discounted off an easing mark. 11-race maiden; turf form (three attempts) is less solid than AW but he's not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (2.5/1 +25%) Sugar Candie |
2.5/1(+25%) | (8) Sugar Candie 2.5/1, Had looked on the up but off 6 months before coming in twelfth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 157 days ago. Still low mileage and she's well worth another chance with Oisin Murphy now in the saddle. Lightly raced (best effort on good to soft) and worth another attempt at this sort of trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (6.5/1 -30%) Big Jimbo |
6.5/1(-30%) | (7) Big Jimbo 6.5/1, Winner at Kempton in February. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Plumpton (17.8f, soft) 24 days ago so needs to get back on track. Very solid sequence on AW early this year, before pulled up on soft back over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (7/1 -56%) Winklevi |
7/1(-56%) | (1) Winklevi 7/1, Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 2/1) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Visor back on. Can give a good account. Down the weights as result of 2022 turf campaign but much more competitive on AW this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (20/1 -67%) Pledge Of Peace |
20/1(-67%) | (9) Pledge Of Peace 20/1, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs but he posted a creditable fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 10/1) 28 days ago. Not ruled out despite being 1 lb out of the handicap. 0-24; major place chance on recent AW efforts but has had only one turf run, tailed off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (12/1 +14%) Jersey Gift |
12/1(+14%) | (3) Jersey Gift 12/1, 16/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 22 days ago. Makes turf debut. Looks competitive on form if shrugging off latest effort. No impact in four runs since returning this year from a long absence; makes his turf debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (40/1 -43%) Proud Warrior |
40/1(-43%) | (10) Proud Warrior 40/1, Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 18/1) 34 days ago. Not totally dismissed. 0-9; well beaten at Southwell latest and this is his first turf run since behind on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, some horses to consider for a potential top three finish could be 8.5/1 (4) FRED BEAR, 8.5/1 (1) WINKLEVI, and 4/1 (8) SUGAR CANDIE, who have shown some promise in previous races.
This can go the way of JOHN BETJEMAN, who ran a cracker on his return to the level when not beaten far in third at Bath last month. Mark Gilliard's charge may be winless in 22 starts in this sphere but this looks like as good an opportunity as any. Big Jimbo has been in fine form on the all-weather of late and can give him the most to think about, while Where's Tom and Winklevi are others to consider.
A case can be made for lots of these so at the likely odds it is worth siding with SUGAR CANDIE, who had looked on the up until finishng well held at Wolverhampton after an absence and can bounce back in style with Oisin Murphy now up. Fighting Poet didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Southwell last time and could emerge as the chief threat, with Chelmsford-second Winklevi another who needs considering in a very open handicap.
She flopped when tried over 1m6f last November but SUGAR CANDIE has to be well worth another go at the trip.

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.
