1st (2)  (4/1 +11%)Square D'alboni |
4/1(+11%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Square D'alboni 4/1, €40,000 Zarak gelding. Had excuses on debut (strong in betting) and duly left that form well behind when scoring unchallenged in 10-runner maiden at Epsom (7f, good) 18 days ago, running on. Represents leading yard and respected with prospect of more to come. Excuses on debut but made all at Epsom next time; extra furlong should suit. |
|||
2nd (1)  (7/1 -75%)Archie's Angel |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Archie's Angel 7/1, Promising sort. 10/1, won 6-runner novice at Haydock (7f, good) on debut 55 days ago, well on top at the line. Open to progress stepping up to 1m. Nice turn of foot when winning on debut at Haydock; respected under penalty. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/1 -110%)Celeborn |
7/1(-110%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Celeborn 7/1, Overcame inexperience to justify short-priced favouritism on 7f Leicester debut in June. Nicely on top at the finish and could have plenty more to come after 3 months off/having been gelded. Green when making a successful debut at Leicester; has been gelded since; respected. |
|||
4th (12)  (5/1 -50%)Way Of Stars |
5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Way Of Stars 5/1, Sea The Moon colt who was strong in the betting and was denied only late on by another promising debutant in 7-runner Goodwood maiden (1m) 19 days ago. Looks sure to progress and he's well worth considering. Beaten a neck on Goodwood debut; wouldn't need to improve much to play a major roll. |
|||
5th (7)  (9/4 +65%)Half Moon Bay |
9/4(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Half Moon Bay 9/4, Already gelded and, despite proving uneasy in the market, he showed some ability when fifth of 7 in novice (20/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 21 days ago. Should improve. Gave the impression he would come on from his Newmarket debut; shortlisted. |
|||
6th (11)  (200/1 -100%)Orchard |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Orchard 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 28/1, last of 13 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago. Will need to leave that effort well behind if he's to make an impact here. Ran green when last of 13 on last month's Newbury debut. |
|||
7th (8)  (50/1 -150%)Opening Bat |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Opening Bat 50/1, Foaled February 15. 80,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Gale Force Ten and useful 9f-1½m winner Eynhallow and useful winner up to 1¼m Rousay. Appeals on paper so one to note in the betting for clues. Nicely bred, but stable's 2yo newcomers are usually better for a run. |
|||
8th (6)  (12/1 -20%)Crackeagle |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Crackeagle 12/1, Foaled March 3. Cracksman gelding. Dam maiden (stayed 1½m), sister to useful winner up to 1½m Galactic Prince out of useful 1¼m-11.6f winner Opera Gal. Betting should unearth some clues on debut. Yard also responsible for Square D'alboni. Already gelded but stable's record with 2yo newcomers makes him well worth a market check. |
|||
9th (4)  (35/1 -119%)Arth's Gold |
35/1(-119%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Arth's Gold 35/1, 100,000 gns Havana Gold colt. 33/1, shaped as if better for the run when seventh of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 9 days ago. Entitled to improve but this looks a warm enough race. Midfield on his Kempton debut nine days ago; improvement required. |
|||
10th (10)  (28/1 -40%)Night Step |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Night Step 28/1, Foaled April 29. 57,000 gns foal, £60,000 2-y-o, Showcasing colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 11f-1½m winner Cribbs Causeway and 1m winner Voyager Blue, both useful. Yard no stranger to success with their juveniles. Tongue strap applied for debut. Stable has its share of 2yo winners first time out so worth a market check; tongue-tie on. |
|||
11th (5)  (33/1 -32%)Battle Stride |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Battle Stride 33/1, Foaled March 20. $50,000 foal, €100,000 2-y-o, War of Will colt. Dam ran twice in USA. Interesting to see what the market has to say. Stable has the occasion winning 2yo newcomer, but only of interest if attracting support. |
|||
12th (9)  (100/1 -300%)Masterofperfection |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Masterofperfection 100/1, Foaled April 6. 55,000 gns yearling, Mastercraftsman colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Desert Gulf and 1m winner Red Hat Eagle. Stable 1-18 with 2yo newcomers this year; other make greater appeal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
There was a good word for CELEBORN prior to his Leicester introduction and he duly obliged. He was withdrawn at the start at Doncaster on his next intended appearance and has since been gelded in an attempt to hopefully harness his true potential. Archie's Angel made a successful debut of his own at Haydock, while Square D'alboni took a big step forward to break through at Epsom and Way Of Stars was only just denied at Goodwood.
Several interesting types in opposition with WAY OF STARS narrowly selected to come out on top. Having been strong in the betting, he showed plenty to work on and was beaten only by a fellow promising newcomer who was delivered later at Goodwood 19 days ago, and he looks sure to build on that effort. Square D'alboni, Celeborn and Archie's Angel all tasted success on their latest outings respectively and head up the dangers.
Preference is for CELEBORN who was all over the place on his Leicester debut in June, but still proved good enough to win.

1st (8)  (11/4 -22%)Tabiti |
11/4(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tabiti 11/4, Kingman filly created a good impression when going in at the first time of asking in 9-runner maiden at Newmarket (7f, good), making all. Very much one to consider with more to come as long as she copes with the drop in distance. Well backed when making a successful debut at Newmarket; should cope with the shorter trip. |
|||
2nd (6)  (11/1 +8%)Miss Fascinator |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Miss Fascinator 11/1, Resumed her progress when scoring for the second time in 7f nursery at Newmarket last month, forging clear last 1f. Possibly lacks the scope of a few of these but she certainly warrants a crack at this sort of level. Won an Ascot novice and a Newmarket nursery, but has twice finished behind Magic Mild. |
|||
3rd (5)  (7/1 +0%)Magic Mild |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Magic Mild 7/1, Given a bit of time after finishing down the field in a York listed race in May and returned to win a 6f maiden and nursery on Newmarket's July Course, making all on both occasions. That form just about the best on offer and is clearly a threat if getting into a rhythm. Has won her last two starts at Newmarket and the form of both has worked out well. |
|||
4th (1)  (16/1 -14%)Betty Clover |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Betty Clover 16/1, Useful filly who doubled her tally in 15-runner listed race at York in May. Better form when second in Group 3 company at Ascot on first crack at 6f but must bounce back from a lesser effort in the Lowther. Has gone close at Group 3 level; has a similar profile to last year's winner. |
|||
5th (2)  (4/1 +27%)Greydreambeliever |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Greydreambeliever 4/1, €40,000 Dark Angel filly. Good type physically and created a really favourable impression when winning on debut at York (6f) 7 weeks ago. That form is solid enough and there is more to come. Made a winning debut at York despite market weakness; holds a Group 1 entry; respected. |
|||
6th (7)  (80/1 -21%)Santa Savana |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Santa Savana 80/1, Made a winning start to her career over 6f at Leicester in May but that form is only ordinary and she's found the going tougher in listed company both starts since. Hood removed now. Twice out of the frame in Listed races since making a successful debut; plenty to find. |
|||
7th (3)  (20/1 -67%)Handcuffed |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Handcuffed 20/1, Readily justified market confidence on her Newbury debut in July and stepped up on that bare form when 3 lengths seventh of 8 to Simmering in Princess Margaret at Ascot 23 days later. Improved again when fourth in a big-field nursery at York and that puts her in the mix. Made a winning debut and ran well last time, but has ground to make up on Betty Clover. |
|||
8th (4)  (15/8 +38%)Jewelry |
15/8(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jewelry 15/8, 280,000 gns Wootton Bassett filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner A New Dawn and smart 1¼m/10.7f winner Sir Lamorak. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to a couple of smart sorts. Ignored in the betting but won a 6f Newbury novice with a bit up her sleeve on debut last month. Sure to improve. Defied market weakness when winning on Newbury debut; one for the shortlist. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Betty Clover's Listed triumph and narrow defeat at the hands of Simmering in the Princess Margaret help her set a fine standard, but she comes up against some exciting once-raced winners. TABITI never looked like letting favourite-backers down on debut, showing plenty of pace over 7f, and she is just preferred to Jewelry, who was almost as impressive at Newbury. There was no fluke about Greydreambeliever's York victory, while Magic Mild deserves a crack at this sort of prize.
GREYDREAMBELIEVER looked a good prospect when scoring on debut at York and could be the way to go over fellow unbeaten fillies Tabiti and Jewelry.
Preference is for TABITI who was impressive when winning at Newmarket last month. She can defy the drop in trip.

1st (2)  (11/4 +0%)Up The Pace |
11/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Up The Pace 11/4, Has been brought along steadily, patiently-ridden fifth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) 23 days ago. More to offer on his handicap debut. Interesting. Has shown promise in all three starts so far; respected on nursery debut. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/2 +31%)Gold Medallist |
9/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gold Medallist 9/2, Hasn't gone on from a promising debut, third of 4 in novice at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for. has regressed in his last three starts including two nurseries; cheekpieces on. |
|||
3rd (6)  (11/4 +77%)Pay Attention |
11/4(+77%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pay Attention 11/4, 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in maiden at Brighton (7f, soft) 66 days ago. Makes his handicap debut with something to prove. Hasn't built on a promising debut; needs to resume his progress on nursery debut. |
|||
4th (5)  (11/1 -83%)Tiempo Alegre |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tiempo Alegre 11/1, Bred for longer trips and shaped like a longer-term project when ninth in 6.5f event at Deauville in August. Possibilities on her nursery bow. Well held in three starts (stiff task latest); makes nursery debut in a first-time hood. |
|||
5th (8)  (50/1 -100%)Saint Fonteyn |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Saint Fonteyn 50/1, Yet to offer much promise, eighth of 10 in novice at Lingfield (5f, AW) 31 days ago. Needs this big step up in trip to spark major improvement on her first go in nurseries. Needs to find a good deal more from out of the weights on nursery debut. |
|||
6th (1)  (3/1 +63%)Wathbah |
3/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wathbah 3/1, Fair maiden but she came in only seventh of 8 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Twice third before well held in a stronger race than this on nursery debut; shortlisted. |
|||
7th (7)  (28/1 -833%)Camden Flyer |
28/1(-833%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Camden Flyer 28/1, Fair maiden who signed off for Andrew Balding with a good third of 6 in nursery at Chester (7f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Much respected for her new handler. Ran well on her final start for Andrew Balding; watch market on stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Richard Hannon has won two of the last three renewals and can enjoy further success courtesy of KAIYA, who showed more signs of life at Newbury and steps back up to a potentially more suitable distance for her nursery bow. Wathbah is best judged on her first three efforts rather than her struggle in a good Newmarket nursery. Gold Medallist has experience on his side and cheekpieces go on, with headgear also applied to Tiempo Alegre for the first time.
UP THE PACE caught the eye when a tenderly-handled Kempton fifth last time out so is fancied to take a sizeable step forward now going handicapping and get off the mark. Both Tiempo Alegre and Kaiya also appeal as likely improvers on their respective nursery debuts and can chase home the selection in that order.
The choice is KAIYA who revealed her first signs of ability at Newbury last time and could step up again on nursery debut.

1st (6)  (4/5 +64%)Sandtrap |
4/5(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sandtrap 4/5, 450,000 gns Lope De Vega filly. Sister to multiple US Graded race winner at 1m/9f Carl Spackler and half-sister to 9.5f/1¼m winner Tribal Wisdom. Very interesting newcomer. 450,000gns yearling; sister to a US 1m Grade winner; could be anything. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/4 -92%)Jowddah |
7/4(-92%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jowddah 7/4, Promising individual. 100/30, second of 8 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good, 10/3) on debut 21 days ago. Two winners have emerged from that race since. The one to beat. Creditable second on debut at Newmarket and sets a clear form standard here. |
|||
3rd (1)  (40/1 -150%)Art Patron |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Art Patron 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Stepped up on debut when fifth of 7 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 12/1) 50 days ago. More will be needed again. Has a nice pedigree but her first two runs were underwhelming; improvement required. |
|||
4th (7)  (11/1 -144%)Take A Breath |
11/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Take A Breath 11/1, Bated Breath filly. Sister to smart winner up to 1m Simply Breathless, useful 1m winner Breath Away and half-sister to 9f-11f winner Fruit Spirit. One to note on debut for top stable. Sister to two smart US milers; no surprise if she features on debut. |
|||
5th (4)  (200/1 -100%)Calaxy |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Calaxy 200/1, 33/1, last of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) on debut. Off 106 days. Well beaten when 33-1 for debut at Lingfield in May and not seen again since. |
|||
6th (2)  (66/1 -164%)Bizou |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bizou 66/1, 8/1, seventh of 11 in C&D maiden (good to firm, 8/1) on debut 29 days ago. Yard among the winners but can only really be watched. Out of a French Listed winner but made low-key debut over C&D last month. |
|||
7th (3)  (12/1 -100%)Bowerchalke |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bowerchalke 12/1, 15/2, fourth of 11 in maiden at Nottingham (6f, good) on debut 31 days ago. Open to progress. Encouraging debut when fourth over 6f at Nottingham; needs to improve but has potential. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Jowddah made a promising start when runner-up at Newmarket having shown signs of inexperience and Roger Varian's filly is expected to go well. That said, she faces a very interesting newcomer in the shape of SANDTRAP, a 450,000gns purchase whose full-brother recently became a Grade 1 winner in the US. The daughter of Lope De Vega gets the vote, while the extra furlong may bring about improvement from Bowerchalke on her second outing.
Roger Varian's JOWDDAH made an encouraging start to her career at Newmarket and should prove a tough nut to crack unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomers Sandtrap and/or Take A Breath.
Newmarket runner-up JOWDDAH is unlikely to remain a maiden for much longer and is taken to put her experience to good use.

1st (1)  (15/8 -70%)Military Academy |
15/8(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Military Academy 15/8, Half-brother to connections' smart 2-y-o 7f/1m (Fillies' Mile) winner Commissioning. From an excellent family and, having been well backed, got the better of a subsequent winner in ready fashion at Hamilton 3 weeks ago. Looks an excellent prospect. Won novice at Hamilton (1m3f, heavy) three weeks ago; the 2nd has won a big handicap since. |
|||
2nd (6)  (13/2 -18%)At No Time |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) At No Time 13/2, Galileo filly. Closely related to smart 7f winner Bravais (by Frankel): dam, 6f winner (including Duchess of Cambridge/Lowther Stakes at 2 yrs), half-sister to 1000 Guineas/Oaks winner Love. Interesting newcomer on paper. By Galileo, as is her dam's half-sister, the five-time Group 1 winner Love; one to note. |
|||
3rd (2)  (4/6 +62%)Valvano |
4/6(+62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Valvano 4/6, Made a highly promising start to his career when a 6-length winner in the mud at Nottingham last year and left that form behind when runner-up to the talented Notable Speech at Kempton 5 months ago. Upped in trip and boasts solid claims. Heavy-ground win as a 2yo and second to the 2,000 Guineas winner on AW in April; form pick. |
|||
4th (4)  (80/1 -142%)Wiltshire Wonder |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wiltshire Wonder 80/1, Bumper winner who was sent off a big price and didn't make much impression in a novice at Southwell on Flat debut. Probably more of a handicap type. Won a bumper in June but, following an AW run ten days ago, he can't be fancied in this. |
|||
5th (3)  (150/1 -200%)Sixfiveseven |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sixfiveseven 150/1, Showed fairly useful form when placed in maidens at Compiegne and Cholet in France in late 2022. No encouragement for Syd Hosie and Richard Hawker over hurdles, though, so something to prove. Placed twice on Flat in French provinces in 2022; did not show much in two hurdle races. |
|||
6th (7)  (150/1 -50%)Fire And Rain |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fire And Rain 150/1, Little show on debut and looks firmly up against it. 80-1 for maiden at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) two weeks ago and beaten 15l, with low-level form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
VALVANO has been gelded since chasing home 2000 Guineas hero Notable Speech at Kempton in April and the step up to 1m2f, combined with some cut in the ground, is likely to see him prove too good for these rivals. Military Academy's debut success at Hamilton was boosted with the runner-up landing a valuable handicap at Ascot last weekend and he remains a colt with plenty of potential. Others to note include King Chaos and At No Time.
MILITARY ACADEMY was impressive when making a winning debut at Hamilton three weeks ago and the runner-up (who was giving him weight) that day has since bolted up in a handicap off 86, so he's well worth a chance to follow up for all that Valvano also looks potentially smart. At No Time is a notable newcomer.
Military Academy left a big impression on his recent debut but VALVANO, absent since April, may be good enough to thwart him.

1st (1)  (2/9 +100%)Quickthorn |
2/9(+100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Quickthorn 2/9, Front runner who slipped the field when a wide-margin winner of the Goodwood Cup last summer and did the same in the Lonsdale Cup next time. Not the force of old this season but faces an easier assignment now. Four Group wins include Group 1 Goodwood Cup in 2023; disappointing since; down in class. |
|||
2nd (2)  (6/1 +25%)Drawn To Dream |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Drawn To Dream 6/1, Useful filly who hasn't really been firing lately and is unlikely to be able to lead with Quickthorn in opposition. Ran well in handicap at Royal Ascot on stable/seasonal debut but not in three runs since. |
|||
3rd (3)  (9/1 +73%)Salsada |
9/1(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Salsada 9/1, Useful mare who was below form over hurdles on latest outing 82 days ago. Probably set for a struggle in this company. Pretty useful on Flat and at her best over hurdles; this looks a tough return to the Flat. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
This appears to represent a fine opportunity for QUICKTHORN to record his first victory since the 2023 Goodwood Cup. The seven-year-old is expected to revert to his old front-running tactics and take advantage of an ideal confidence booster. Drawn To Dream should appreciate underfoot conditions based on her German form which includes a Listed success over 2m4f. Salsada rates best of the remainder on her first Flat appearance in over two years.
None of this quintet arrive in form but QUICKTHORN wasn't disgraced last time and should be hard to pass if he can build up a lead. Sumo Sam may contest the pace and is closely matched with the selection at the weights, while Drawn To Dream is no forlorn hope if able to bounce back.
They have not been able to show it this year but the class acts in this field are QUICKTHORN and Sumo Sam. The latter ran yesterday.

1st (2)  (6/1 -9%)Bishop's Crown |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bishop's Crown 6/1, Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago, In the mix with cheekpieces refitted. Ran okay back in a Class 4 at Windsor last month; handles most ground; one to consider. |
|||
2nd (10)  (18/1 -13%)Snuggle |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Snuggle 18/1, Scored at Windsor in but his recent form is not so encouraging, eighth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good) 10 days ago. Others are preferred. Not at best under more patient tactics the last twice; dangerous if allowed to stride on. |
|||
3rd (6)  (14/1 +13%)Hierarchy |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hierarchy 14/1, C&D winner but he arrives well below par, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 43 days ago. Blinkers go back with something to prove. Gone the wrong way after a promising reappearance in May; not sure to get a strong pace. |
|||
4th (7)  (11/1 -22%)Grenham Bay |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Grenham Bay 11/1, C&D winner who saw his good run of form come to an end when sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. C&D winner; closely matched with Strike on Newmarket form last month; others appeal more. |
|||
5th (1)  (4/1 +20%)Tiriac |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tiriac 4/1, Dual 6f scorer in May and not seen to best effect when sixth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Merits consideration off an easing mark. Well suited by slow ground; in fine form in May; big chance dropped in grade. |
|||
6th (5)  (9/1 +0%)Ray Vonn |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ray Vonn 9/1, Kickstarted 2024 with 6f wins at Nottingham and York. Only 14th at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago though. Sort to bounce back. Flopped at Ripon last time but progressing well at 6f beforehand; can bounce back. |
|||
7th (3)  (15/2 -114%)Strike |
15/2(-114%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Strike 15/2, Bagged his third win this year at Windsor in July. Good second of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago so can make his presence felt. Thriving as a 6yo; narrowly failed in hat-trick bid latest; drying ground a plus. |
|||
8th (9)  (50/1 -150%)Conquest Of Power |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Conquest Of Power 50/1, A three-time 7f winner in 2024 but he came in last of 6 in handicap at this course (8f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Visor goes back on and a tongue strap is also fitted now. Tailed off here (1m) two weeks ago; something to prove for now. |
|||
9th (8)  (7/2 -40%)Capote's Dream |
7/2(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Capote's Dream 7/2, Yet to score this term but he recorded a very good second of 9 in handicap at Newbury (6f, soft) 8 days ago, first home in his group. Cheekpieces back on and merits serious consideration. On a dangerous mark and just missed out at Newbury last week; 2lb well in; strong claims. |
|||
10th (4)  (7/1 +50%)Extrication |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Extrication 7/1, Fair maiden. Has failed to kick on in handicaps, tenth of 14 at Epsom (7f, good) 18 days ago so others appeal more. All runs over 7f/1m; unplaced in two 7f handicaps this summer; enough to prove down to 6f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A winner of two of his last three starts, and runner-up in a contest at Newmarket last time which has worked out well, STRIKE sets the standard on form and he can notch up a fifth career success for his in-form connections. A progressive sort earlier this year, Tiriac remains on a workable mark and is likely to figure, along with Newbury second Capote's Dream and Bishop's Crown.
CAPOTE'S DREAM looks primed for a bold showing on the back of his eye-catching Newbury second so edges the verdict in this very open handicap. Tiriac didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Goodwood last time and could emerge as the chief rival to Tom Ward's 7-y-o ahead of in-form duo Strike and Bishop's Crown. Ray Vonn completes the shortlist.
Tiriac will be hard to beat on slow ground but the drying forecast tips the scales in favour of CAPOTE'S DREAM (nap).

1st (7)  (6/1 +50%)Land Of Magic |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Land Of Magic 6/1, Latest win at Epsom (7f, good) in July. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (7f, soft, 4/1) 8 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Won handicaps at 5f and 7f; has had excuses of late but extra needed on 6f form. |
|||
2nd (10)  (10/1 -67%)Moe's Legacy |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Moe's Legacy 10/1, C&D winner in June and a few creditable efforts since, including a close second of 5 at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Suited by fast surfaces; C&D winner in June; in good form; vulnerable off current mark. |
|||
3rd (5)  (18/1 -227%)Unico |
18/1(-227%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Unico 18/1, Won a 6f Yarmouth handicap in April for Marco Botti. Best effort for this yard when second of 4 over 6f at Lingfield (AW) 13 days ago. Claims if she can build on that. Back in form on turf and AW of late; competitive off 1lb lower than latest win in April. |
|||
4th (2)  (15/2 +6%)Sub Thirteen |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sub Thirteen 15/2, Three wins from 7 runs this year, including over 5f here on heavy in May. Given a break since a below-par run at Chepstow in July. Won 3 of 4 sprints for new yard; ran flat in July but could resume progress back at 6f. |
|||
5th (11)  (14/1 +13%)Thunderous Love |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Thunderous Love 14/1, C&D winner in the mud in May. 5/1, last of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.5f, heavy) 21 days ago. C&D winner on soft in May; not as good since but today's conditions might see a revival. |
|||
6th (1)  (5/1 -67%)Glitterella |
5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Glitterella 5/1, Still maiden but that should change soon, going down by only a short head at Bath (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Leading claims. Runner-up over 6f and 5f on last two starts; a first win edges closer. |
|||
7th (9)  (8/1 -7%)Art Fantastique |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Art Fantastique 8/1, Won first 2 nurseries at the end of last summer. Ended his 2-y-o campaign with a good third of 11 at Southwell (6f) in November. His absence since has to be a slight concern but Tom Marquand is a good booking. Won first two handicaps, over 6f on good ground; off since November; may do better yet. |
|||
8th (3)  (33/1 -65%)Clyde Bay |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Clyde Bay 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up on Bath handicap debut and reappearance in April. Absent since. Can only really watch this time. Likely type for handicaps; pulled up lame in April; yard has won this twice since 2014. |
|||
9th (8)  (17/2 +39%)Intertwined |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Intertwined 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1 and blinkered first time, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 56 days ago. Down in trip. Billy Loughnane does well for the yard. Big prices and a weak finisher in 1m handicaps; deserves a go over 6f. |
|||
10th (4)  (40/1 -21%)Twisted Tiara |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Twisted Tiara 40/1, Won a novice at Bath in April. Last of 5 in handicap (14/1) at this course (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Others are more obvious. Not gone on from novice win at about 5f (soft) in April; softish ground should suit better. |
|||
11th (6)  (7/2 +0%)Port Hedland |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Port Hedland 7/2, Fair maiden. 15/8, third of 4 in handicap at Bat h (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Enters calculations. Strong finisher over 5f at Bath last week; ready for another go at 6f; improve. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GLITTERELLA may still be a maiden through seven starts, but she ran arguably a career best when narrowly denied at Bath over 5f last month, and stepping back up in trip should suit with Rossa Ryan taking over in the saddle. A progressive sort last year, Art Fantastique is of interest on his return from a long absence, while Unico looks capable of building on a solid effort at Lingfield latest.
GLITTERELLA seems to be getting her act together now and can gain compensation for last month's Bath near miss. The way that Port Hedland finished off last time suggest that he'll be suited by this return to 6f and he's second choice ahead of Chris Gordon's Unico.
Unico is weighted to win again but PORT HEDLAND can fulfil his earlier promise and get off the mark.

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.
