---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (7/1 +42%) New Dayrell |
7/1(+42%) | (7) New Dayrell 7/1, Sent off favourite but proved to be a disappointment when failing to beat a rival home at Bath (8f, good) last month, racing much too freely. Mark eases a shade and he's quickly stepped back up in trip. Lightly raced but yet to make an impact in handicaps; not sure the 1m2f is ideal either. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7.5/1 -50%) Sagano |
7.5/1(-50%) | (4) Sagano 7.5/1, Fairly useful in France but no real short-term encouragement to glean from trio of starts for new yard. Mark is easing all the time, but he can only be watched at present. Four wins in France; well held for new yard but mark has come down; needs a betting check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3.33/1 -33%) Fast Steps |
3.33/1(-33%) | (1) Fast Steps 3.33/1, Made a successful return at Windsor in May but has failed to kick on in 4 subsequent outings, having a hopeless task from his position back there (10f, good to firm) last month. Won this contest 12 months ago and while his slow starts are a concern, he looks set for another big run. Won this last year and has dropped back to the mark he defied at Windsor in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4.5/1 -35%) Alazwar |
4.5/1(-35%) | (3) Alazwar 4.5/1, Arrives in good nick, third of 6 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft, 6/1) 2 weeks ago when faring best of those held up. Expected to be bang there off an unchanged mark. On a good mark and ran well in a similar race at Newbury two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (4/1 -14%) Piecederesistance |
4/1(-14%) | (2) Piecederesistance 4/1, Won at Pontefract 12 months ago and turned his best effort of the season when runner-up in that corresponding event (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Certainly not without a chance if building on that here. Back on a good mark and better signs when second latest; needs considering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (5/1 +50%) Obsidian Knight |
5/1(+50%) | (5) Obsidian Knight 5/1, Notched a third success at Lingfield in January and has remained in good order, well placed when third at York a month ago. Lack of pace over 10f appeared not to suit at Newmarket last time and he could well bounce back. Placed on turf this summer but all wins on AW and needs to shrug off lesser run latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (9/1 +36%) Awtaad Prince |
9/1(+36%) | (6) Awtaad Prince 9/1, Made it third time lucky at Leicester last year and in first-time headgear/tongue strap, ran his best race taking on his elders for the first time when a close seventh at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) a fortnight ago. Cheekpieces replace the blinkers worn last time. Dangerous to dismiss from a falling mark but he isn't obviously crying out for 1m2f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ALAZWAR was a close third in a similar event at Newbury a couple of weeks ago and the five-year-old is hard to oppose off the same mark here. Piecederesistance hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, while Fast Steps edges out Obsidian Knight to be best of the rest.
A trappy opening contest to solve but preference is for FAST STEPS, who has been a shade disappointing since making a winning return in May but can get back to winning ways having landed this corresponding event 12 months ago. Alazwar arrives in good nick so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while Piecederesistance and Obsidian Knight can do battle for third spot.
Most of these have questions regarding their current form and/or their suitability to this trip so the suggestion is PIECEDERESISTANCE.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (4.5/1 -29%) Government Call |
4.5/1(-29%) | (4) Government Call 4.5/1, Soldier's Call colt. Dam winner up to 7f (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart 7f winner Larchmont Lad. 25/1, 5-length second of 10 in novice at Newbury (6f, good) on debut 19 days ago. Should improve. Promise when 5l second on 6f Newbury debut; likely to improve and respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (18/1 -29%) Two Tribes |
18/1(-29%) | (8) Two Tribes 18/1, Twice-raced colt. 5/1, fourth of 10 in novice at Lingfield (6f, AW) 65 days ago. Headgear on 1st time. More needed. Fair form when twice in the frame over 6f on AW; down at 5f for turf debut in cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (1.62/1 +19%) Nazron |
1.62/1(+19%) | (6) Nazron 1.62/1, Shaped well both starts, better effort when second of 8 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f, good) 12 days ago. Remains with potential and is the pick on form. Beaten favourite but has shown promise when placed both starts; probably the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 -50%) Air Force One |
12/1(-50%) | (1) Air Force One 12/1, 600,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner colt. 9/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at York (6f, firm) on debut 84 days ago, not settle fully and hampered soon after start. Should have more to offer. Absent since York debut in May but did hint at ability and needs a betting check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (3/1 +33%) Batal Zabeel |
3/1(+33%) | (2) Batal Zabeel 3/1, Progressive form, second of 6 in maiden at Ayr (5f, good) 17 days ago, only residual greenness costing him the win. First-time headgear may help him. Fair form when placed all starts; thereabouts, particularly if finding more for blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (150/1 -127%) Piper's Fort |
150/1(-127%) | (7) Piper's Fort 150/1, Twice-raced colt. 22/1, last of 8 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f, good) 12 days ago. Has finished well behind the reopposing Nazron on both starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (4.5/1 +18%) Mr Wonderful |
4.5/1(+18%) | (5) Mr Wonderful 4.5/1, Excuses on debut and duly left that well behind when third of 12 in novice at Newbury (6f, good, 3/1) 19 days ago. Excuse on debut (hampered) and showed more when third at Newbury (6f) since; 5f could suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (33/1 -50%) Big Time Rascal |
33/1(-50%) | (3) Big Time Rascal 33/1, 100,000 gns yearling, Blue Point colt. Dam, useful French/US 7f/1m winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 1m winner Soustraction. 5/1, green when last of 5 in maiden at Chester (5.1f, heavy) on debut. Off 91 days. Last of five on 5f Chester debut; off since (has been gelded). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BATAL ZABEEL was beaten a neck into second at Ayr last time by a rival who has already been placed twice at Listed level. Kevin Ryan's colt may improve for the application of first-time blinkers and he is likely to be hard to beat if doing so. Nazron has made the frame in both previous starts and is likely to do so once again, while Government Call and Mr Wonderful are others to note.
NAZRON is more than capable of winning a maiden and this looks a good opportunity for the son of Dark Angel. Batal Zabeel has got better with each run and arguably should have won at Ayr last time, so is feared most ahead of Government Call.
Although twice a beaten favourite NAZRON looks to have the best form and can make it third time lucky.

1st (4) (8.5/1 +15%) Defiance |
8.5/1(+15%) | (4) Defiance 8.5/1, Foaled January 19. 190,000 gns yearling, Camelot colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 8.5f), half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Magic Artist. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. One to note in the betting on debut for his leading stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2/1 +43%) Caviar Heights |
2/1(+43%) | (2) Caviar Heights 2/1, Foaled March 1. 300,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, sister to multiple 6f winners Hitchens (very smart) and Tanzeel (smart). 17/2, fourth of 9 in maiden at this course (7f, good) on debut 55 days ago. Likely to improve. Promise amidst greenness when fourth (Crown Estate fifth) on 7f course debut; will improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (25/1 -25%) Deira Mile |
25/1(-25%) | (5) Deira Mile 25/1, Foaled March 17. 47,000 gns yearling, Camelot colt. Dam, 9f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Walkinthesand. Newcomer from a top yard; betting should help guide to expectations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (8/1 -7%) Crown Estate |
8/1(-7%) | (3) Crown Estate 8/1, Twice-raced colt. Fifth of 9 in maiden (4/1) at this course (7f, good) 55 days ago, having run of race. Blinkers on 1st time. Likely more needed. Had two outings over 7f in a week in June, showing fair form; blinkers added after break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (1.75/1 +36%) State Of Desire |
1.75/1(+36%) | (8) State Of Desire 1.75/1, Promising sort. 5/2, better effort when second of 11 in minor event at Haydock (7f, firm) 57 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress further. Promise when placed over 6f/7f at the start of the summer; 1m should suit; bit player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (50/1 +24%) Hawa Jumeirah |
50/1(+24%) | (7) Hawa Jumeirah 50/1, Foaled March 15. Universal colt. Dam 2-y-o 5f/5.4f winner. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 11/1) on debut 21 days ago, missing break. Beaten 10l when sixth of eight on 7f Epsom debut three weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (10/1 -43%) Stratocracy |
10/1(-43%) | (9) Stratocracy 10/1, Foaled February 25. 48,000 gns foal, 92,000 gns yearling, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 8.6f Shawaahid and 2-y-o 6f winner Shania Says. Quite a speedy pedigree to be starting at 1m but the market should reveal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (9/1 -125%) Fool's Paradise |
9/1(-125%) | (6) Fool's Paradise 9/1, Foaled March 10. Lope De Vega colt. Dam, useful French 1m winner (stayed 9f), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Sense of Wisdom. Trainer’s newcomers command respect. Yard's 2yos going well so a market move for this one could prove significant. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (80/1 +20%) Surfer Dude |
80/1(+20%) | (10) Surfer Dude 80/1, Foaled March 23. €13,500 foal, 20,000 gns yearling, Waldgeist colt. Dam unraced sister to smart 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Marcel. It's likely this son of 2019 Arc winner Waldgeist is best watched on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
STATE OF DESIRE confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when filling second place over 7f at Haydock last month and the step up in trip could see the son of Frankel go one better here. Defiance is a noteworthy newcomer having cost 190,000gns as a yearling and he is from the family of the St Leger winner Mastery. Fool's Paradise and Stratocracy also merit market inspections, while Caviar Heights is entitled to improve for his first start.
STATE OF DESIRE has shown promise both starts and should be up to winning one of these. Caviar Heights was an expensive yearling and seems sure to step up on a promising debut fourth at this venue. Defiance is the newcomer that really catches the eye on paper.
Perhaps Frankel colt STATE OF DESIRE can make it third time lucky with the step up to 1m likely to play to his strengths.

1st (3) (7/1 +50%) Defence Of Fort |
7/1(+50%) | (3) Defence Of Fort 7/1, Debut 7f Ascot winner who wasn't discredited after 7 months off when seventh of 11 on his handicap debut at Haydock (8.2f) in May. Far too green upped to this trip at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and a hood is enlisted to hopefully settle him down. Yet to go on from debut win, including well held in two handicaps this year; hood on now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (3.33/1 -48%) Muktamil |
3.33/1(-48%) | (9) Muktamil 3.33/1, Continued theme of -race-by-race progress when fourth at Salisbury in September. Gelded since and certainly bred to do better as a 3-y-o over this sort of trip. Potential big improver. Promise in three runs at end of last summer; up in trip for handicap debut/reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (4/1 +47%) Beccara Rose |
4/1(+47%) | (8) Beccara Rose 4/1, Shaped up well when third on her final 2-y-o outing. Hasn't really clicked this term, though staying-on fourth at Kempton was much more like it and return to this trip very much in her favour. Has to be of interest. Career back on track on staying-on fourth over 1m on AW latest; return to 1m2f a help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (22/1 -100%) Band Of Steel |
22/1(-100%) | (4) Band Of Steel 22/1, Off the mark at Wolverhampton last season and returned with a respectable run in a handicap at Southwell in June. Doesn't look an easy ride, though. Has ability but pulled too hard again on 1m AW return; needs to learnt to settle better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (5.5/1 +15%) Mlle Chanel |
5.5/1(+15%) | (6) Mlle Chanel 5.5/1, Surpassed 2-y-o form when a keeping-on third switched to a handicap at Ascot in May. Shade too free at Salisbury 2 months later but she's in the right hands to bounce back. Close third on 1m2f handicap debut; well-held third since but still early days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (8/1 -45%) Carbis Bay |
8/1(-45%) | (5) Carbis Bay 8/1, Improved form when runner-up in a Newcastle novice in June. Bac on turf and opening mark not obviously generous but he's clearly unexposed. Runner-up in two of three novices and bring unexposed potential to this handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (4/1 +11%) Theme Park |
4/1(+11%) | (1) Theme Park 4/1, Bought for 200,000 gns after winning a 7f Kempton novice for Sir Michael Stoute last September. Good second in 1m York handicap for new yard in May but has failed to build on that twice since. Still fairly early days and this looks a bit less competitive. Form he showed when placed at York and Chester this summer gives him solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (14/1 +44%) Nopoli |
14/1(+44%) | (2) Nopoli 14/1, Successful at Jebel Ali in January but hasn't made much of an impact in 4 subsequent starts. Looks too high in the weights judged on Newmarket run last month. Won on dirt in UAE at start of year but struggled since, including on British debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (28/1 -180%) Sir Jock Bennett |
28/1(-180%) | (7) Sir Jock Bennett 28/1, Left heavy defeat on reappearance well behind when landing 4-runner handicap at Haydock in June. That wasn't a deep race but easy to excuse Ripon run given he was struck into. Second handicap when winning at Haydock (1m2f) in June; pulled up at Ripon since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Carbis Bay has shown plenty of promise in three qualifying runs, most notably when a half-length second over this trip at Newcastle last time, but an opening mark of 82 leaves with him no margin for error and fellow handicap debutant MUKTAMIL could be better treated off 74. The selection looked crying out for further when a staying-on fourth over 1m at Salisbury on his latest outing 315 days ago and that form has worked very well, with the winner placing in the Ribblesdale and finishing a close second in the Irish Oaks this year. The layoff is an obvious concern for Marcus Tregoning's gelding, but he looks potentially very well treated. Theme Park and Mlle Chanel are others to consider.
It's taken connections of MUKTAMIL a while to get him back to the track this year but he's very much the type to make a better 3-y-o, particularly over this trip. He's therefore awarded the vote in favour of Theme Park and Beccara Rose.
The vote goes the way of northern raider THEME PARK, who is unexposed at this trip and takes a slight drop in class here.

1st (4) (2.12/1 -21%) Tough Enough |
2.12/1(-21%) | (4) Tough Enough 2.12/1, Went the right way as a 2-y-o and struck on handicap bow back on turf after 7 months at Windsor (6f) in June. That form has worked out well and he shaped well up in grade when sixth of 16 at Newmarket (6f) 4 weeks ago, caught further back than ideal. This trip should be fine and remains of interest. 3yo going the right way; latest sixth came in very strong race; makes obvious appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 +57%) Street Kid |
6/1(+57%) | (1) Street Kid 6/1, Raced largely on AW in recent times but shaped well back on turf at Chester in May, fading in the closing stages having been ridden too aggressively. Ran below form at Newmarket 7 weeks later, though. Seems best on AW; lower mark on turf but it's not enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (18/1 +36%) Remarkable Force |
18/1(+36%) | (6) Remarkable Force 18/1, Looked a useful prospect when winning first 2 starts last season but proved hard to place thereafter and failed to come on for his reappearance well held in the Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot last time. Enough to prove upped in trip. Beaten a long way in two 5f handicaps this year and stamina to prove up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 -11%) Riot |
5/1(-11%) | (3) Riot 5/1, Produced his best effort for some time to pick up his second win of the campaign at Doncaster (7f) in July. Fared best of those held up in a deeper race at York subsequently and remains well treated on old form. Respected. Won at Doncaster last month and ran well in big field at York since; thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (8.5/1 +23%) Golspie |
8.5/1(+23%) | (9) Golspie 8.5/1, Won 1m maiden at Newbury on debut in April but he's been consistent rather than progressive since, looking none too keen on most recent outing. Down in trip and now tried in blinkers. Disappointing since 1m debut win in April; drops 3f in trip with blinkers added here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 -100%) Epsom Faithfull |
22/1(-100%) | (5) Epsom Faithfull 22/1, Successful 4 times from 7 starts during 2022. Mixed bag on all weather this year, but (in a first-time tongue strap) took a step back in the right direction when third at Goodwood (6f) in June. Needs to build on that now. Down in weights and better signs when third over 6f at Goodwood in June; first run since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (33/1 +0%) Cry Havoc |
33/1(+0%) | (2) Cry Havoc 33/1, Recorded back-to-back wins on the all-weather last year and, having a rare start on turf, left previous form this season behind when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m) in June. Ran abysmally at Newmarket subsequently, however. Five AW wins; went close on turf at Yarmouth in June but well held at Newmarket since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (3/1 +40%) Chola Empire |
3/1(+40%) | (7) Chola Empire 3/1, Dual AW scorer who wasn't seen to best effect when third in 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 42 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Should remain competitive. In the frame in 7f turf handicaps on last three starts and should be competitive again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (22/1 -214%) Toussarok |
22/1(-214%) | (8) Toussarok 22/1, Front runner who posted a good third returned to this trip at Newcastle in April. Shaped as if better for the run at Chester 10 weeks later but was well below par at Epsom last time. Bounce back called for. Career-low mark and Buick up but needs to shrug off a poor run latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Tough Enough has strong claims on his Windsor victory before a good effort in a valuable handicap at Newmarket off this mark on his latest outing, but they were on fast ground and over 6f, so preference is for RIOT. Winner of a similar event to this at Doncaster off 2lb lower last month, David O'Meara's gelding ran well in defeat off his revised rating at York 13 days ago and is proven with cut in the ground. Toussarok has slipped to an attractive mark and should appreciate the return to 7f.
TOUGH ENOUGH shaped well in a deep race at Newmarket 4 weeks ago and, with the step up to 7f likely to be in range, he's well worth siding with to resume winning ways, especially now returned to much calmer waters. Riot fared best of those held up on his most recent outing at York and remains well treated on old form, with Chola Empire completing the shortlist.
If TOUGH ENOUGH (nap) doesn't pull his chance away stepping up to 7f for the first time he should take some stopping.

1st (5) (4.5/1 +36%) D Day Odette |
4.5/1(+36%) | (5) D Day Odette 4.5/1, Lawman filly who is enjoying a good season, having no problem with the marked drop back in trip when doubling career tally at Salisbury (1m) in June. 2 lb rise for that looks fair and she ought to be in the mix again. Form of Salisbury win in June franked and should go well again up 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (3/1 +33%) Southwold |
3/1(+33%) | (10) Southwold 3/1, Has fewer miles on the clock than most and he doubled his tally on AW at Southwell (1m) in February. Not disgraced when third behind a subsequent winner on turf debut at Haydock (1m) 3 weeks ago and connections now reach for cheekpieces with Buick taking over. Interesting. Beaten favourite on turf debut latest but remains unexposed and cheekpieces might help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (6.5/1 +28%) Grey Fox |
6.5/1(+28%) | (9) Grey Fox 6.5/1, Twice a winner (at 1m) last term and he comes here having not been disgraced in handicaps at Windsor/Epsom in recent months. Return to 1m won't inconvenience him and he's now operating 3 lb below last winning mark. Not at best this summer but back on a good mark and now back at his optimum trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (15) (7/1 +22%) Mr Trick |
7/1(+22%) | (15) Mr Trick 7/1, Returned to form from out of the blue when getting on top late at Wolverhampton (6f) in March. Encouraging he backed that up on back of 4 months off when second at Bath (1m) 3 weeks ago and he remains with handicapping scope on old form. Won over 6f on AW in March and good second over 1m on turf back from break last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (11/1 -38%) Rival |
11/1(-38%) | (11) Rival 11/1, Both career victories to date have come on ground softer than good but he caught the eye having been left with a lot to do when fourth at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 24 days ago. On a handy mark if he can back that up. Won off 1lb lower last year; in frame on three of four runs this term; can figure again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (9/1 -29%) Chifa |
9/1(-29%) | (14) Chifa 9/1, Improved model this year, landing back-to-back Wolverhampton handicaps (at 7f) in May and placed both starts since, noted finishing well when third of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f) 5 weeks ago. Rider takes off a handy 7 lb and not out of things returned to 1m. Four AW wins since last autumn and has continued good work when placed on turf last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (14/1 -17%) Last Hoorah |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Last Hoorah 14/1, Winless last term but he did bounce back to form from an easing mark when second behind one on a roll at Kempton (1m) in June. Creditable fifth at Chepstow (1m) followed 13 days ago and he's no forlorn hope with his rider taking off a handy 3 lb. 0-12 in handicaps; good second on AW in June but only fifth on turf since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (16/1 +36%) Mr Fustic |
16/1(+36%) | (3) Mr Fustic 16/1, All 4 career victories have come on AW, the latest at Southwell (1m) in June. Yet to scale same heights on turf though, well beaten at Windsor (1m) on his latest start 24 days ago. Two AW wins this summer but struggled on turf again last time. |

9th (6) (8.5/1 +39%) Dandy Maestro |
8.5/1(+39%) | (6) Dandy Maestro 8.5/1, Best effort for a while when second of 6 at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in May but not in same form either outing since, including in a refitted visor when fourth back at that venue 23 days ago. Blinkers return now but others make more appeal. Three wins around 1m last year; good second in May but not at best twice since. |

10th (2) (14/1 +22%) Nikovo |
14/1(+22%) | (2) Nikovo 14/1, Verging on useful in France (9f winner) but yet to scale same heights on these shores, first-time cheekpieces not working the oracle when eleventh of 13 in handicap at York (7.9f) 2 weeks ago. Mark has eased a little more at least with blinkers now the headgear of choice. Has found it tough since coming over from France; hopes pinned on first-time blinkers. |

11th (8) (66/1 +0%) Glory Nights |
66/1(+0%) | (8) Glory Nights 66/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who went backwards from his return/yard debut effort at Kempton when distant last of 8 on handicap debut at Chester (10.3f) last month. Heavy ground a plausible excuse then but would need to see more positive signs before becoming of interest. Promise on AW but well beaten on 1m2f turf/handicap debut lastest; back down in trip. |

12th (12) (40/1 -60%) Giovanni Baglione |
40/1(-60%) | (12) Giovanni Baglione 40/1, 1m winner as a 3-y-o who turned in best effort of the present campaign without totally convincing when second at Brighton (10f) 4 weeks ago. Switched yards for 12,000 gns since and worth noting what the market makes of him. Best effort this year when second at Brighton latest (final run for Joseph Parr). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Kevin Philippart De Foy has his string in sparkling form at present and could add to his tally here courtesy of D DAY ODETTE, who has only gone up 2lb for her 1m victory at Salisbury last time and that form has been boosted by the runner-up scoring since. However, there are plenty of dangers in a tricky handicap, most notably Roman Dynasty, who has been knocking on the door in recent outings, and Chifa, who only found one too good when bidding for a double at Bath last month.
Claims can be made for most and with that in mind it may pay to take a chance on SOUTHWOLD. He arrives with fewer miles on the clock than most and, with cheekpieces now reached for/William Buick on for the first time, it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing with his yard boasting a good strike rate at this venue. Salisbury-scorer D Day Odette, Grey Fox and Roman Dynasty head the dangers, with Rival another not out of things.
The unexposed SOUTHWOLD leaves the impression he may benefit from today's first-time cheekpieces and can resume his progression.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
