---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (9) (28/1 +0%) Whitcombe Rockstar |
28/1(+0%) | (9) Whitcombe Rockstar 28/1, Fair form shown at his best but he came in only eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm, 20/1) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Newbury (1m2f, good) in his second handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/1 +30%) Niarbyl Bay |
7/1(+30%) | (5) Niarbyl Bay 7/1, Fair maiden but he came in last of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive. Creditable 4th of 14 on handicap debut (1m2f); last of ten at Newmarket two months later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (14) (7/1 +42%) Mrembo |
7/1(+42%) | (14) Mrembo 7/1, Resumed winning ways at Newbury in June and backed it up with a solid third of 6 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 15 days ago. Possibilities. Narrow 1m3f win at Newbury under Olivia Tubb in June; fair third at Brighton latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (12/1 +0%) Olympicus |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Olympicus 12/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden. Hood on for 1st time when good fifth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 26 days ago on just his second run for his new yard. Considered stepping up in trip. 1m2f is plausible; settling remains an issue and a good pace up front may well be required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (4.5/1 -35%) Night Eagle |
4.5/1(-35%) | (3) Night Eagle 4.5/1, Got off the mark for the season in good style in 7-runner handicap at Epsom (12f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Big shout under a 5 lb penalty. Back in the groove six days ago to win over 1m4f at Epsom, where he has a good record. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (18/1 +0%) Sea Of Charm |
18/1(+0%) | (8) Sea Of Charm 18/1, It's now fourteen runs since his last win in 2021 but she wasn't disgraced when fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and in the mix. Two minor honours for new trainer; cheekpieces (tried once in 2021, finished last) return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (11/1 +8%) Lawn Ranger |
11/1(+8%) | (12) Lawn Ranger 11/1, Scored at Windsor in April and has remained in good order, ridden too aggressively when sixth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 13 days ago. One for the shortlist. Front-runner; enhanced his good Windsor record; well below form at Sandown (latest 2021). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (5/1 -11%) Nonsuch Lad |
5/1(-11%) | (7) Nonsuch Lad 5/1, C&D winner who posted a respectable third of 7 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Enters calculations off the same mark. Won twice (once here) over 1m2f last term; solid efforts on his last three starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (12/1 +25%) Glen Again |
12/1(+25%) | (2) Glen Again 12/1, Dual winner in 2021 for Mark Johnston but missed whole of last year and below par in three runs for new connections this term. Falling in the weights but still needs more. Only four runs for current stable; gave his first positive signal this term last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (7.5/1 +17%) Beautiful Crown |
7.5/1(+17%) | (4) Beautiful Crown 7.5/1, Sixteen runs since his last win in 2021 but he posted a creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 50 days ago. Merits consideration eased 1 lb. Back to 1m2f (latest start was one of his 1m4f races) and not totally dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (18/1 -64%) Come On John |
18/1(-64%) | (11) Come On John 18/1, Scored at Wolverhampton and Brighton in May and not discredited when fourth of 6 back at Brighton (9.9f, good) 29 days ago. Can give another good account eased 1 lb. Below form latest start; big shout if reverting to peak 2023 form, which includes two wins. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (12/1 -50%) Sarkha |
12/1(-50%) | (10) Sarkha 12/1, Winner at Lingfield in May and in good nick since, visored when fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now and needs considering. Chief disincentive is that he showed so little at Yarmouth (good) in his only turf race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (80/1 -21%) He's Our Star |
80/1(-21%) | (15) He's Our Star 80/1, In good form on the AW in the winter but he came in last of 14 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) in April. Needs to hit the ground running after 110 days off. 7f 2nds this year; record at this trip is far from convincing, including tailed off latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (1) (25/1 -213%) The Conqueror |
25/1(-213%) | (1) The Conqueror 25/1, Yet to get his head in front on these shores and while he didn't shape badly on return/debut for new yard on the AW in April, his subsequent efforts have not been particularly encouraging. Others appeal more. Ex-German; 9lb lower than on British debut four starts ago, so needs a second look. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A winner over C&D last September, this looks like a good opportunity for NONSUCH LAD to regain the winning thread after some highly-creditable efforts in defeat of late. The four-year-old should have too much for Mrembo and Beautiful Crown, who is looking to end a losing sequence dating back to August 2021. Sarkha and Sea Of Charm are also capable of being in the shake-up.
A case can be made for lots of these but the most persuasive one is for NIGHT EAGLE who ran out a stylish winner at Epsom and rates the pick of these weights turned out under a 5 lb penalty. C&D scorer Nonsuch Lad heads the list of dangers, although in-form pair Olympicus and Beautiful Crown can also have a say. Mrembo completes the shortlist.
Preference is for NONSUCH LAD who has a 1st and 3rd from only two runs at Sandown and has not been far away in his last three races.

1st (2) (1.5/1 +20%) Miaharris |
1.5/1(+20%) | (2) Miaharris 1.5/1, Foaled January 12. €60,000 yearling, 210,000 gns 2-y-o, Zoustar filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 1m Bletchley and 6f winner Time Scale, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Appeals on paper so she's one to note on debut. 210,000gns 2yo; Zoustar half-sister to six winners; respected debutante. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (25/1 +24%) Reflexion Faite |
25/1(+24%) | (4) Reflexion Faite 25/1, Has finished well held both starts so far, ninth of 10 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on her second outing 40 days ago. Will be of more appeal in handicaps. Down the field in a couple of 6f contests. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (1.2/1 -79%) Tallulabelle |
1.2/1(-79%) | (5) Tallulabelle 1.2/1, Upped in grade, improved on her debut form when third in minor event at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in June. Faced a stiff task when well held in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot next time, but she sets the standard back in maiden company. Well held at Royal Ascot; sets the form standard on her earlier efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (12/1 +14%) Toosha |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Toosha 12/1, Foaled March 28. €27,000 yearling, Dandy Man filly. Dam, placed at 6f at 2 yrs, closely related to useful winner around 11f Kilimanjaro. Watch for market clues. 27,000euros yearling; Oisin Murphy is 10-27 for this yard; interesting newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (8.5/1 +39%) Naturalia |
8.5/1(+39%) | (3) Naturalia 8.5/1, Showed a bit on debut when sixth of 9 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) a month ago. Should improve from that first experience, though bred to be suited by further in time. May do better with Windsor debut experience under her belt. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A chance can be taken with newcomer MIAHARRIS, who is a half-sister to a debut winner in Bletchley, while another relation Time Scale was a Listed winner as a juvenile. The booking of Jim Crowley should only aid her cause, with Tallulabelle looking best placed to chase her home after being outclassed in the Queen Mary last month. Naturalia is another open to improvement after shaping with some promise at Windsor first time out.
TALLULABELLE faced a stiff task at Royal Ascot last time, but she had previously run well when third at Beverley and can resume her progress back down in grade. David O'Meara's filly looks ready to open her account, though Miaharris makes plenty of appeal on paper and is respected on debut. Naturalia can fare best of the remainder.
The clear pick of the fillies with experience is TALLULABELLE. Interesting newcomers Miaharris and Toosha are feared most.

1st (3) (3.5/1 -17%) Overnight Oats |
3.5/1(-17%) | (3) Overnight Oats 3.5/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago. A 4 lb rise for that looks manageable. Leading claims. Hooded last two starts, winning a maiden handicap at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (1.62/1 +41%) Ben Hamrash |
1.62/1(+41%) | (6) Ben Hamrash 1.62/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 17 days ago (second past the post but subsequently promoted). First attempt on turf here. One to consider under Oisin Murphy. Awarded 7f AW race last time; probably more to offer, which is needed on this turf debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (12/1 -20%) Concert Boy |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Concert Boy 12/1, Winner at Newcastle in May but poor runs outweigh good ones since, never on terms after another slow start at York 12 days ago. Haydock second (7f, good to firm) in June was easily the best of his last four efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/1 -38%) Hello Arthur |
9/1(-38%) | (2) Hello Arthur 9/1, Fair form. Respectable fourth in handicaps over this C&D and Newmarket (6f) on her last 2 outings. Ran respectably at Newmarket latest start, while shaping as if 6f was shorter than ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/1 +8%) Enola Grey |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Enola Grey 11/1, Operating below last season's best so far this year, beaten 11 lengths when fourth of 6 at Windsor (1m) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 24 days ago. Won last September off 5lb higher but little to shout about in her five subsequent starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (6/1 -20%) Chalk Mountain |
6/1(-20%) | (8) Chalk Mountain 6/1, Made a winning reappearance on AW at Wolverhampton in April and mostly creditable efforts in defeat since, including second of 12 at Kempton (1m) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) a fortnight ago. Contender under Buick. His four turf runs (two this season) were of a lower order than AW form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (12/1 -20%) Goodwood Vision |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Goodwood Vision 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 on 1m Salisbury handicap debut/reappearance 28 days ago, weakening after racing keenly in the lead. The drop to 7f could help but others arrive with more pressing claims. May have more to offer now dropped to 7f with her reappearance run under her belt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (16/1 +27%) What A Whopper |
16/1(+27%) | (4) What A Whopper 16/1, Failed to go on from his debut in 3 outings as a juvenile. Opening handicap mark isn't obviously generous and watching brief is advised on this slightly belated reappearance. Unexposed as a handicap debutant on first run for 300 days; debut was easily best 2yo run. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The booking of William Buick aboard CHALK MOUNTAIN catches the eye and, having run well in recent starts, this looks like an ideal opportunity for him to break the maiden on turf. A taking winner at Carlisle, Overnight Oats can give him the most to think about, along with the unexposed Ben Hamrash, who was awarded the race at Chelmsford last time out.
OVERNIGHT OATS showed improved form to open his account at Carlisle a couple of weeks ago and a 4 lb rise may not prevent him following up. Fellow last-time-out scorer Ben Hamrash could pose a threat if able to translate his AW form to turf at the first time of asking. Chalk Mountain completes the shortlist.
It took a while to get off the mark but OVERNIGHT OATS (nap) coming up the hill to score at Carlisle suggests that he may follow up.

1st (4) (7.5/1 -7%) Night Arc |
7.5/1(-7%) | (4) Night Arc 7.5/1, Improved when landing a 1¼m Leicester handicap on the second of just 2 appearances last season. Low-key start to the campaign but dropped in trip and much more like it with a brace of runner-up efforts this summer. Back in better form the last twice, finishing second at Newbury and Doncaster. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 +40%) Two Tempting |
3/1(+40%) | (1) Two Tempting 3/1, Career-best effort when doubling career total at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Both wins gained at that venue but he's equally effective on turf and 4 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid. AW winner last time; creditable second in both attempts over C&D; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (12/1 +33%) Golden Sands |
12/1(+33%) | (2) Golden Sands 12/1, Front runner who opened account for this yard at Kempton (1m) in February. Bagged first win on turf granted an uncontested lead at Beverley (8.5f) in May but certainly didn't enjoy the run of things at Carlisle since. Expected to bounce back. Made all at Beverley in May; unsuited by change of tactics last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/1 +17%) Snapcracklepop |
10/1(+17%) | (6) Snapcracklepop 10/1, Just 1 lb above his last winning mark, gained at Windsor last summer. Headgear fitted this term and solid if unspectacular efforts so far. Generally consistent and has possibilities back down in class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (2.25/1 +25%) Mudskipper |
2.25/1(+25%) | (9) Mudskipper 2.25/1, Fair form at 2 yrs, placed in a Goodwood maiden and a novice event at Newbury. Just a fair start to life in handicaps but he's been gelded since last seen, is unexposed and has the services of William Buick. Gelding operation may prove beneficial; still open to improvement in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (8/1 +20%) Intercessor |
8/1(+20%) | (5) Intercessor 8/1, Won 3 times at around 1m in 2022 and placed twice this spring. Brushed aside in the Carlisle Bell when last seen, though he did fluff the start slightly (normally a prominent racer). Form dipped last time but is capable of being involved if bouncing back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (11/1 -38%) Frequent Flyer |
11/1(-38%) | (10) Frequent Flyer 11/1, Interesting runner on his 2-y-o form but has yet to fire this season, visored when only sixth of 8 upped to 8.5f at Epsom a fortnight ago. Blinkers now the headgear of choice. Chance depends on how well he responds to change of headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (14/1 -65%) Fascinating Lips |
14/1(-65%) | (8) Fascinating Lips 14/1, Won Lingfield seller last summer before a pair of good placed efforts. Successful transition to hurdling in 4-runner novice hurdle at Fontwell in September and shaped as though in need of the run on last month's Flat return. Expected to step up on that. 1m winner in Germany; all of his British Flat form is over middle distances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (22/1 -10%) Billy Mill |
22/1(-10%) | (3) Billy Mill 22/1, Rarely races on turf and not in top form on the AW on last 2 outings. That said, a handicapping case can certainly be made for him now 2 lb below his last successful mark. It's over two years since his last piece of respectable turf form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Frequent Flyer has been a little disappointing so far this season, but blinkers go on for the first time and Oisin Murphy is back on board so a better showing is possible. Distinguished Lady goes up in trip to a mile on her first start for Darryll Holland and is of certain interest. NIGHT ARC travelled so well into the race at Doncaster last time that the suspicion is that he is well up to winning off this sort of mark, especially if delaying his challenge a bit later.
There's definitely an air of unfinished business around MUDSKIPPER, who could well up his game on the back of a gelding operation with William Buick taking the ride. Night Arc arrives on the back of a brace of runner-up efforts and he seems sure to give it another good go, along with recent AW winner Two Tempting.
Another chance is given to MUDSKIPPER. Second choice is Night Arc. A few others also have clear possibilities.

1st (8) (3/1 -33%) Gallant Lion |
3/1(-33%) | (8) Gallant Lion 3/1, Arrives firmly on the up having supplemented a Brighton win with a smooth success at Newbury 13 days ago, well on top at the finish having travelled strongly. Should put up a bold bid for the hat-trick. On a hat-trick; up another 7lb but there was plenty to like about latest win from off pace. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4/1 +56%) Dancing In Paris |
4/1(+56%) | (7) Dancing In Paris 4/1, Took a step forward making his handicap debut when off the mark at Haydock (1m) in April. Backed up that effort when second at Sandown next time, though not quite in the same form on latest two outings. Tries this trip for the first time. Backward steps on last two outings (1m1f and 1m) but there's stamina on the dam's side. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (4/1 +27%) Stage Show |
4/1(+27%) | (9) Stage Show 4/1, Hasn't had much racing and got back on track when third of 6 in a Haydock handicap last time. Others look more progressive/better treated, though. Not so good over C&D two runs back but close up judged on best efforts either side. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (8/1 +43%) Dumfries |
8/1(+43%) | (6) Dumfries 8/1, Well supported and showed improved form when easily winning 12-runner maiden at Southwell in March. Disappointed at Musselburgh next time but has been given a break since (gelded) and should get the longer trip. Favourite but flopped on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) in April; gelded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 +45%) Golspie |
12/1(+45%) | (2) Golspie 12/1, Won 1m maiden at Newbury on debut in April and similar form when fourth under a penalty at Salisbury following month. Only sixth off a stiff opening mark at Newmarket last time, though, and improvement is required. Has not lived up to his debut win; 6th of 7 in 1m2f handicap latest; cheekpieces today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (4/1 +20%) Gozo |
4/1(+20%) | (5) Gozo 4/1, Trained by Ian Williams at 2 yrs and showed much improved form in first-time cheekpieces on stable/handicap debut when going close in a 5-runner handicap at Haydock. Has remained in form since and should be on the premises. Drops in class after fifth of 12 in valuable 3yo handicap at Newmarket (1m2f) 12 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (8/1 -129%) Morcar |
8/1(-129%) | (3) Morcar 8/1, Left previous form well behind when easing to a successful handicap debut in a 3-runner event at Windsor last time. Further progress on the cards and should go well. Won handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f) in a three-runner race but he did it easily; up 8lb. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GALLANT LION is improving at a rate of knots and, with this stiff finish expected to play to his strengths, he can land the hat-trick under William Buick. Morcar won easily on handicap debut but has been raised 8lb, which will make his life tougher. Golspie, who may improve for first-time cheekpieces, and Stage Show remain unexposed and cannot be ruled out either.
GALLANT LION is progressing well and once again showed a good attitude to score at Newbury recently, so he's worth a chance to complete the hat-trick at the likely expense of Morcar, who improved to make a successful handicap debut with loads in hand at Windsor a month ago. Gozo is the pick of the remainder.
Morcar won in sumptuous fashion on his handicap debut but from only two rivals. Preference is for hat-trick seeker GALLANT LION.

1st (2) (9/1 +0%) State Legend |
9/1(+0%) | (2) State Legend 9/1, Successful 3 times at up to 1½m for James Ferguson last year. Best effort for present yard when going down narrowly at York (13.9f) last month and wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 7 at Newmarket since. Others more appealing, though. Close at York penultimate run, easily the most competitive of eight attempts for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (5/1 +38%) Bunker Bay |
5/1(+38%) | (9) Bunker Bay 5/1, Belatedly off the mark in 4-runner handicap (5/2) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) 20 days ago, pushed out. This longer trip is an unknown but he remains feasibly treated. Finally off the mark at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to soft) latest, against just three rivals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (20/1 +9%) Ace Rothstein |
20/1(+9%) | (4) Ace Rothstein 20/1, Not successful since early 2022 and hasn't landed a blow in a couple of starts for this yard. A while since he last had a prominent finish on Flat; with new trainer last two outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (8.5/1 +39%) Militry Decoration |
8.5/1(+39%) | (10) Militry Decoration 8.5/1, Posted his best effort this year when fourth of 11 in handicap over C&D (good) 19 days ago, suited by way race developed. 1 lb lower now and holds each-way claims. C&D run on latest start is among the plentiful evidence that he holds an each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (4/1 -33%) Lusaka |
4/1(-33%) | (11) Lusaka 4/1, Chasing a hat-trick after small-field wins at Chepstow (12f) and Ffos Las (14f) last month. This is undoubtedly more competitive but a further 4 lb rise doesn't look too severe. On a hat-trick; back up another 4lb and in class but he's on the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (2.75/1 +31%) Neandra |
2.75/1(+31%) | (1) Neandra 2.75/1, Run creditably the last twice, latest when third of 7 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 20 days ago. 1 lb lower now and looks ready for another crack at this longer trip. Edging down weights; latest start gives a bit of encouragement for second crack at 1m6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (11/1 -38%) Victory |
11/1(-38%) | (5) Victory 11/1, Bounced back to best, in first-time cheekpieces, when close second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 9/2) 25 days ago, better placed than most. 3 lb higher now but warrants respect. Cheekpieces on when 2nd on AW latest start; needs to find extra over this new, longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (8.5/1 -6%) Justus |
8.5/1(-6%) | (3) Justus 8.5/1, French maiden winner who opened his account in this country when taking Doncaster handicap (16.5f) in April. Below that form over longer trip at Chester since but warrants respect with cheekpieces back on here. Had wind operation. Easy Doncaster win (2m, soft; up 7lb today) in April; well beaten in 2m2f Chester Plate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (16/1 +11%) Noble Masquerade |
16/1(+11%) | (6) Noble Masquerade 16/1, Won on his return (11.5f) in 2022 but hasn't been able to add to that victory since and is yet to fully convince over this longer trip. More to prove on this third go at 1m6f and over two years since he raced without headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (33/1 -50%) Tralee Hills |
33/1(-50%) | (8) Tralee Hills 33/1, Resumed winning ways over this trip at Bath in April but wasn't in same form at Epsom last time and others look better treated. Ground softer than good would be preferable; considered each-way if he gets it. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Militry Decoration has been coming to the boil nicely this season and has dropped back down to his last winning mark, which makes him a player. Bunker Bay scrambled home over shorter at Yarmouth last time and shapes like this trip will suit. That said, this might be a good opportunity for NEANDRA to get off the mark for the season. Things haven't panned out for her on the all-weather at Kempton the last twice and there is a good chance this track will suit back on turf.
LUSAKA arrives in fine form and still looks on a workable mark. He can extend his winning run in the finale. Alpine Stroll and Neandra can also make their presence felt.
Something has clicked with LUSAKA who can defy the step up in class to complete his hat-trick.
Ths is the racecard key.
