(2)  (4/5 +77%)Nobleman |
4/5(+77%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Nobleman 4/5, Sixth of 8 in novice (3/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) on debut 23 days ago, slowly away. Open to progress and will know more this time. Too green to do himself justice on debut; could improve a good deal for the experience. |
|||
(1)  (11/10 +27%)Mdawi |
11/10(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mdawi 11/10, Stepped up on debut despite still looking green when third of 11 in maiden (5/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Open to improvement so has to be taken very seriously. Stepped up on debut form when third at Lingfield; bred to be suited by this sort of trip. |
|||
(3)  (6/4 0%)Jiff's Army |
6/4(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jiff's Army 6/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form third of 10 in maiden (11/8) at Wolverhampton (7.2f), though he was left poorly placed. Off 105 days. Significantly up in trip. Engaged 12.15 Lingfield Friday. Sets form standard and won over 1m at Lingfield yesterday but this is a much longer trip. |
|||
(4)  (25/1 +24%)Manny Oh |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Manny Oh 25/1, 14,000 gns yearling, Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to 1½m winner Candyman Stan. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree; worth a market check on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MDAWI left a low-key debut effort behind when a promising third over a mile at Lingfield last month and, stepping up in trip, he gets the vote to go two places better this time around. Nobleman was the subject of some market support when down the field on his racecourse bow over 1m2f at Chelmsford last month and a much improved display would come as no surprise. Manny Oh merits a second look, especially if the market speaks favourably. Jiff's Army would hold every chance if turned out quickly following his victory at Lingfield on Friday.
MDAWI surely has a bigger performance in him given his pedigree and with this step up in trip sure to suit, he looks the answer. Jiff's Army tackles a new distance and sets the standard, with Nobleman fancied to step up on his opening effort.
Preference is for MDAWI who should relish today's extra yardage. Nobleman was clueless on debut but could improve significantly.

(12)  (4/1 +88%)Van Zant |
4/1(+88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Van Zant 4/1, Course winner who again wasn't at his best when 3 lengths tenth of 12 behind re-opposing Alyara in handicap (22/1) at this course (8.1f) 15 days ago. Needs to step up on recent displays if he's to figure. Made all in a similar event over 1m here last March, but not at his best lately. |
|||
(8)  (4/1 +0%)Tenyatta |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tenyatta 4/1, Made a winning debut for this yard at Wolverhampton (7f) in April. Similar form when close-up third over 1m here on penultimate start prior to a lesser effort in first-time blinkers when sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 9 days ago. Not taken lightly with headgear discarded. 1-19; not far behind Alyara here on penultimate start; each-way claims. |
|||
(1)  (9/2 -80%)Alyara |
9/2(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alyara 9/2, Proved easy to back but nevertheless ended long losing run starting out for this yard in 12-runner handicap at this course (1m) 15 days ago, edging ahead entering final 1f. Claims with a repeat back down at 7f. Won a 1m handicap here last time; drop in trip no bad thing; major player. |
|||
(7)  (7/1 +0%)Shaka |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Shaka 7/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at this course (8.1f) 22 days ago, running on having been left poorly placed. Not out of things. Has run well here in recent months, but is now 0-19; others are preferred for the win. |
|||
(10)  (17/2 +29%)Twistaline |
17/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Twistaline 17/2, Course winner. Last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 33/1) 8 days ago, weakening straight. Visor back on and she appeals as the type to bounce back. Not discounted. Five wins at around 1m on AW; this is her time of year so a big effort wouldn't surprise. |
|||
(2)  (9/1 +36%)Baulac |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Baulac 9/1, Modest maiden who was operating below best during the summer, eighth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) in September. Needs to get back on track returning from a 107 day break. Unplaced in all ten starts; makes little appeal after 107 days off. |
|||
(3)  (10/1 0%)Bishop's Glory |
10/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bishop's Glory 10/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. 14/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 14 days ago. Not dismissed for each-way purposes back down in trip. Would have a chance on old form, but not on last year's efforts. |
|||
(6)  (11/1 +45%)Inexplicable |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Inexplicable 11/1, Course winner. Sixth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 40/1) 2 days ago. Ten wins on Tapeta but faded into sixth at Newcastle on Thursday; more needed. |
|||
(4)  (22/1 -100%)Coconut Bay |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Coconut Bay 22/1, Latest win at Catterick (7f) in August. Recent efforts not so inspiring however, beaten over 2f out when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 29 days ago. Tongue tie worn then is quickly discarded here. Dual AW winner and won a similar race on turf in August; worth a second look. |
|||
(9)  (22/1 -38%)Tilsworth Turf |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tilsworth Turf 22/1, Latest win at Ripon in September. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 72 days ago. Far from the easiest to predict. Won two turf handicaps last year, but very inconsistent and modest on the AW. |
|||
(11)  (25/1 -79%)Upper Hand |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Upper Hand 25/1, Yet to get his head in front but probably best forgiven his latest run when ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (8.1f) 22 days ago given he's unproven at the trip. Return to 7f now could well help. 0-13; return to this trip should suit so he shouldn't be written off. |
|||
(5)  (33/1 +18%)Falcon |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Falcon 33/1, 66/1, last of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 52 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Cheekpieces on for 1st time but he's hard to warm to. Four starts since returning for his yard in June have been blowouts; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ALYARA showed a willing attitude when scoring cosily on her debut for this stable over a mile here last month and she could prove tough to stop in a bid to bring up a double. Shaka wasn't seen to best effect when fifth here recently and, back at 7f, he could emerge as the main danger to the selection. Bishop's Glory and Tenyatta are others who could make their presence felt.
ALYARA ended a losing run starting out for this yard over 1m here 15 days ago and in a race in which plenty have questions to answer, she could be up to following up. Tenyatta from the James Owen stable, Shaka and Twistaline are others to consider.
It may be worth taking a chance with COCONUT BAY for whom it is possible to make excuses for her recent efforts.

(7)  (5/2 +29%)Monsieur Fantaisie |
5/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Monsieur Fantaisie 5/2, C&D winner who returned to form when staying-on third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 18/1) 9 days ago. Has to be taken seriously back down at this level. Won over C&D last March and ran well at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day; warrants respect. |
|||
(9)  (10/3 +67%)Star Of Atlantis |
10/3(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Star Of Atlantis 10/3, Modest filly. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/2) 15 days ago, no extra final 1f. Not long with her present yard and she may yet have more to offer at a low level. Still a maiden but could improve for this switch to classified level. |
|||
(3)  (6/1 +20%)Dandy Lichious |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dandy Lichious 6/1, Landed a 7f claimer on final start for Paul W. Flynn at Dundalk in March. Struggled to get near that level in handful of turf starts for new yard during the summer so hopes pinned on return to all weather having a positive effect now. Betting may prove a useful guide. Combination of a return to AW and drop to 0-50 classified level may have positive effect. |
|||
(5)  (15/2 -67%)Fact Or Fable |
15/2(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fact Or Fable 15/2, Dual 1m winner on turf during the summer and best effort for a while when fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 9 days ago. Possibilities with a repeat. Successful four times at this level; ties in with Monsieur Fantaisie on latest effort. |
|||
(4)  (17/2 +15%)Evoluir |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Evoluir 17/2, Shed maiden tag on final start for Roger Fell over 6f here in October. Mixed bag for new yard subsequently, eighth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (6f) 43 days ago. Not taken lightly. Best form when winning a handicap here in October; return to Southwell looks a plus. |
|||
(8)  (17/2 -13%)Platinum Jubilee |
17/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Platinum Jubilee 17/2, Fallen in weights following several indifferent efforts but produced one of her better efforts when fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 31 days ago. Claims with a repeat. 0-10 for current yard but ran encouragingly last time; possibilities on classified debut. |
|||
(12)  (12/1 -20%)Wedgewood Sapphire |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Wedgewood Sapphire 12/1, Winner at Lingfield (7.6f, turf) in June. 40/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in July, weakening from 3f out. Still needs to prove herself as effective on synthetics now returning from 5 months off. Clearcut win at Lingfield on sole classified attempt; interesting back in this grade. |
|||
(10)  (20/1 -67%)Tathmeen |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Tathmeen 20/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 28/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 60 days ago, headway final 1f and keeping on. Each-way possibilities back from 2 months off. Multiple AW scorer but has something to find on his autumn form. |
|||
(1)  (25/1 -213%)Advindi |
25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Advindi 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 30 days ago, beaten 2f out. Application of a first-time tongue strap needs to have positive effect now. Chance depends on how well she responds to first-time tongue-tie. |
|||
(6)  (33/1 -136%)Miss Billie |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Miss Billie 33/1, Poor mare. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 25/1) 60 days ago, driven under 3f out and weakening. More required. Inconsistent maiden who faces a difficult task at the weights. |
|||
(2)  (66/1 -32%)C'mon Pompey |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) C'mon Pompey 66/1, Study Of Man filly who hasn't yet offered much, rearing leaving stalls and always behind when last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) in August. Off since and major improvement required. Has little worthwhile form. |
|||
(11)  (125/1 -213%)The Muffin Man |
125/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) The Muffin Man 125/1, 40/1, last of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm), slowly away. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Shaun Harris. Regressive maiden who is best watched; new stable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
FACT OR FABLE shaped with promise when fading into fourth after attempting to make all over this trip at Wolverhampton recently and he gets the tentative vote to land the spoils in what looks a trappy contest. Tathmeen has the ability to feature in a race of this nature and he must enter calculations. C&D winner Monsieur Fantaisie arrives on the back of a solid placed effort over 7f at Dunstall Park and he could also land a blow.
C&D winner MONSIEUR FANTAISIE showed the benefit of a pair of recent runs when third at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 9 days ago and he's a definite player with a repeat back down at this level. Fact or Fable also ran well when just behind the selection latest and rates a threat with a repeat. Market confidence behind Dandy Lichious and Advindi would also need to be viewed positively, whilst Star of Atlantis isn't dismissed lightly, either.
The vote goes to MONSIEUR FANTAISIE, ahead of Fact Or Fable who ties in closely with the selection.

(2)  (13/8 +28%)Art Market |
13/8(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Art Market 13/8, Successful nursery debut at Ascot in July and followed up at Yarmouth later that month. Wasn't ideally placed when seventh of 14 in nursery at Newbury (7f, good to soft, 9/2). Off 106 days. Makes tapeta debut and he's in the right hands. Has solid turf nursery form last summer; interesting now switched to AW after a break. |
|||
(3)  (2/1 +78%)Blewburton |
2/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Blewburton 2/1, Winning debut at Leicester in April but unable to build on that, 12/1, seventh of 9 in nursery at Sandown (7f, good). Off 126 days and makes AW debut on first run for yard after leaving Eve Johnson Houghton. Fairly treated on peak form but behind Art Market when last seen; first run for new yard. |
|||
(4)  (9/2 -13%)Misty Sky |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Misty Sky 9/2, Winner at Newmarket in October. 13/2, third of 5 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago. Made all in 7f turf novice in October and creditable third in AW handicap since. |
|||
(1)  (13/2 -189%)Line Of Force |
13/2(-189%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Line Of Force 13/2, Three wins from 6 runs last year. First run since leaving K. R. Burke and didn't need to improve to win 9-runner novice at this course (6.1f, 8/1) on return from 6 months off 16 days ago, just holding on. Makes handicap debut now and he should be very competitive. Third win when shading tight finish in 6f course novice for new yard recently; h'cap debut. |
|||
(5)  (16/1 -191%)Choreographic |
16/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Choreographic 16/1, Sound-enough start when sixth of 12 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 10/3) 49 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip and in top hands but more needed from this mark. Beaten only just over 1l when sixth on 6f nursery debut and the return to 7f should suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Line Of Force acquitted himself quite well when set some stiff assignments by Karl Burke and made a successful beginning for his current stable when digging deep over 6f here. The extra furlong is a slight concern and an initial mark of 87 isn't exactly lenient, so the vote goes to ART MARKET. The Calyx colt's two victories have come in the hands of Adam Farragher and his dam won on the all-weather so he should handle the surface. Misty Sky's handicap debut was solid enough at Wolverhampton and she will give them something to aim at.
LINE OF FORCE signed off his juvenile campaign in the perfect fashion on debut for this yard over 6f a fortnight ago and with the same claimer on again, a bold follow-up bid is on the cards. Art Market and Misty Sky could be the main threats.
This may be dominated by William Haggas, with the returning ART MARKET preferred to Choreographic.

11/8(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moon Over Miami 11/8, Promising sort. Two wins from 2 runs last year. Won 6-runner novice (5/6) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Makes handicap debut for leading yard and mark could be a lenient one assuming all is well. Looked useful when 2-2 in turf novices last spring; very interesting runner. |
|||
(10)  (5/2 +38%)Glen Buck |
5/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Glen Buck 5/2, Promising type. Won both starts in early 2023. 6/1, third of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 42 days ago, caught further back than ideal on his first run for 22 months off. More to come, particularly over this trip. Promising return from long absence when third over 9.4f latest; more to come up in trip. |
|||
(6)  (4/1 +27%)Old Harrovian |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Old Harrovian 4/1, Very good third of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (11f) 61 days ago, finishing with running left. Has to be of interest on the back of that promising run. Dual AW winner; caught the eye when third of 14 in warm Kempton race latest; considered. |
|||
(8)  (13/2 -44%)Asgard's Captain |
13/2(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Asgard's Captain 13/2, Five wins from 13 runs last year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (13/8) at Newcastle (10.2f) 23 days ago, driven out. Clearly in fine form but this is a deeper race. Fifth AW win for this yard when leading late at Newcastle (1m2f) 23 days ago; up only 2lb. |
|||
(1)  (22/1 +12%)Wadacre Gomez |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wadacre Gomez 22/1, Seven wins from 24 Flat runs. Four wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in July. 25/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 29 days ago. May have needed that first run for 4 months and this is a drop in class. Good overall AW record but questions to answer after poor run last time. |
|||
(5)  (22/1 +33%)Gaassee |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gaassee 22/1, Cheekpieces on for first time, seventh of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Chester (10.3f, soft). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Archie Watson and interesting to see what in-form new yard can do with him. Tongue tie on. Not at his best last year but new yard in flying form; one to note in the betting. |
|||
(2)  (33/1 -136%)Barenboim |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Barenboim 33/1, 12/1, first run since leaving Jamie Snowden when creditable second of 5 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 22 days ago, no match for winner. AW record is a positive one. Better signs back on Flat for new yard when second over 2m here but this is a harder race. |
|||
(4)  (40/1 -21%)Arqoob |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Arqoob 40/1, Last of 8 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft, 8/1) 22 days ago. First Flat run for this yard and others more persuasive. Useful on Flat and over hurdles but has struggled over hurdles recently. |
|||
(9)  (66/1 -500%)In The Breeze |
66/1(-500%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) In The Breeze 66/1, 15/2, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to soft), overcoming pace bias. Off 15 months so well-being has to be taken on trust. Progressive in late summer 2023 but not seen since; a watching brief is the call. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MOON OVER MIAMI made a triumphant debut at last year's Lincoln meeting and then had no trouble following up when odds-on at Yarmouth. An eight-month absence would have to be a worry, but he looks a smart prospect. Glen Buck also won his first two before being sidelined, and his comeback third at Wolverhampton was very encouraging. He heads a list of dangers that also includes Old Harrovian, Asgard's Captain and Barenboim.
A cracking handicap with several of these very interesting for one reason or another. MOON OVER MIAMI looked a potential pattern performer in the making when winning both starts in the spring and while he's been absent since, he's in top hands. This mark therefore could be lenient so he gets the vote in favour of Glen Buck and Old Harrovian.
A good race. Moon Over Miami and Old Harrovian (second choice) have plenty to recommend them but preference is for GLEN BUCK.

9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Just Ten High 9/4, Three wins from 10 runs last year. Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap (7/2) at this C&D 7 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Well suited by this surface, winning sole 7f attempt and made all dropped to 6f last week. |

4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Three Beauz 4/1, Back-to-form second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 16/1) 3 days ago. Back up in trip. Can make presence felt. Often leads; back from quiet spell when 2nd over 5f on New Year's Day; trip query at 6f. |
|||
(8)  (17/2 -6%)Laura's Breeze |
17/2(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Laura's Breeze 17/2, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 13/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 5 days ago, nearest finish. Will remain of interest and prove suited by a return to 7f. Both wins at 7f, including here, but a strongly run 6f suits too; should be competitive. |
|||
(7)  (10/1 -82%)Bomb Squad |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bomb Squad 10/1, C&D winner. Won 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/4) 15 days ago. Can go well again up 3 lb. C&D winner; successful at Wolverhampton recently; still favourably treated on course form. |
|||
(4)  (11/1 +8%)Raft Up |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Raft Up 11/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (13/2), slowly away. Off 131 days. Has work to do. Won yard debut over 6f at Newcastle following layoff; not so good since; back from break. |
|||
(9)  (11/1 +21%)She'sashambles |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) She'sashambles 11/1, Below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 5/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. In good form at Newcastle since winning a Thirsk classified in August; needs extra to win. |
|||
(3)  (12/1 0%)King's Crown |
12/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) King's Crown 12/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 5/1) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on, tongue strap on 1st time. Mixed form at 7f of late but respectable 6f effort last month; tongue-tie added. |
|||
(2)  (22/1 -193%)Eldeyaar |
22/1(-193%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Eldeyaar 22/1, Latest win at Ripon in September. Edging back down to last winning mark and took a step back in the right direction when third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 16 days ago. Player. Made the running for nearly all wins; not quite on song of late; needs to be to win here. |
|||
(5)  (28/1 -40%)Due Date |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Due Date 28/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 16 runs last year. Latest win here in August. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 25/1) 16 days ago, hampered. Won 4 in 2024, latest over C&D; treading water elsewhere since; may do better back here. |
|||
(10)  (150/1 -355%)Next Second |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Next Second 150/1, 40/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 51 days ago. Up in trip. All wins at 5f; below best since the latest of them in July; others have better 6f form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Three Beauz is turned out quickly following Wednesday's narrow Newcastle defeat, but she was collared close home so the extra furlong isn't ideal. Wolverhampton third Laura's Breeze also makes a swift return to action, as does JUST TEN HIGH, who atoned for a heavy Lingfield defeat when making all over C&D last week and will be hard to peg back again. Bomb Squad arrives on the back of a Wolverhampton success and could be the primary threat.
JUST TEN HIGH responded well to this headgear and the return to sprinting when scoring over C&D last week and should make another bold bid. The in-form Bomb Squad is another to consider along with Eldeyaar, who took a step back in the right direction when third over C&D last month.
This can go to JUST TEN HIGH who is tactically versatile and looked to have some potential as a sprinter when winning over C&D last week

Back up in trip. Shortlist material. Won at Wolverhampton in November and third at Newcastle on New Year's Day; best form at 5f. |
|||
(7)  (5/2 +44%)Fircombe Hall |
5/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fircombe Hall 5/2, Three wins from 21 runs last year. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 9/1) 29 days ago. Player. Knocking at the door towards end of 2024; Kaiya Fraser's 3lb claim is a gift; solid chance. |
|||
(3)  (4/1 +0%)Sir Maxi |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sir Maxi 4/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 7 days ago. Merits consideration. On a long losing run but this is an uncompetitive race and he's impossible to ignore. |
|||
(9)  (9/1 +64%)Ben Dikduk |
9/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ben Dikduk 9/1, 25/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 23 days ago, not clear run. 1-20; mainly downhill since breaking duck at Hamilton last June; needs a revival. |
|||
(6)  (9/1 -100%)Beneficiary |
9/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Beneficiary 9/1, Course winner. Three wins from 18 runs last year. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 3/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (5f) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Has claims on close Wolverhampton third and next run perhaps best forgiven; possibilities. |
|||
(2)  (16/1 -33%)Radiant Angel |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Radiant Angel 16/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 22/1) 15 days ago. Seven-race maiden; not at best in four handicaps; needs to up his game. |
|||
(5)  (18/1 -29%)Motagally |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Motagally 18/1, Twenty nine runs since last win in 2020. 22/1 and hooded for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, very slowly away. Veteran; on a long losing run; tumbling in weights but excuses are wearing thin. |
|||
(10)  (50/1 -669%)Fantasy Navigator |
50/1(-669%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Fantasy Navigator 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Seventh of 9 in minor event (9/2) at Chelmsford City (6f), slowly away. Off 151 days. First run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby. 2-31 for Mick Appleby; out of form when last seen but could be revived by stable switch. |
|||

66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Midnightattheoasis 66/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 19 days ago. Ended last year out of form and needs to turn over a new leaf. |
|||
(4)  (66/1 -100%)Stars Away |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Stars Away 66/1, 250/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm). Off 164 days. Eyeshields on for 1st time. 0-6 overall and well held in 2024; needs to be transformed by a break and new headgear. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Fantasy Navigator could be interesting if the market speaks in his favour on his first start for Darryll Holland with Luke Morris booked, but he hasn't won since February last year. FIRCOMBE HALL looks slightly more reliable with a top three finish in four of his last five starts and he heads the shortlist, while Beneficiary and Sir Maxi are others to at least consider.
FIRCOMBE HALL continues to hold his form well and is now only 1 lb above his last winning mark. Rogue de Vega and Sir Maxi are others to consider.
The most compelling profile belongs to FIRCOMBE HALL who arrives in form and has the added bonus of Kaiya Fraser's 3lb claim.

(1)  (2/1 -7%)Rebel Empire |
2/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rebel Empire 2/1, C&D winner. 4/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 4 days ago, impressively. Carries penalty. Player. Convincing winner at Lingfield on New Year's Eve; leading contender under 5lb penalty. |
|||
(7)  (7/2 -17%)Ormolulu |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ormolulu 7/2, 3-time C&D winner. 3/1, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D 6 days ago by ½ length from Rebel Empire, slowly away. Carries penalty. Shortlist material. Solid C&D form since joining this yard; winner in December; on a roll and high on the list. |
|||
(2)  (9/2 +18%)Many A Star |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Many A Star 9/2, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 7/1, again better than bare result when third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 23 days ago. Not taken lightly (now 3 lb below last winning mark). Well-handicapped 8yo; C&D winner; better than result last time; has plenty in his favour. |
|||
(4)  (9/1 -38%)Last Outlaw |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Last Outlaw 9/1, Latest win at Nottingham in October. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, 4/1) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Not disgraced here last time but does need to raise his game a little. |
|||
(9)  (10/1 +38%)Tyke |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tyke 10/1, 3-time C&D winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 40/1) 14 days ago, going off too hard. Recent form-figures are unflattering but this return from 7f to 6f should be in his favour. |
|||
(5)  (12/1 +14%)Hiatus |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hiatus 12/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in December. 4/1, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 23 days ago. 4l scorer at Chelmsford in December but last of seven under penalty the following week. |
|||
(8)  (14/1 -40%)Papa Cocktail |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Papa Cocktail 14/1, C&D winner. Fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, 18/1) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Last run contained plenty of promise and he's leniently treated; well worth a second look. |
|||
(3)  (22/1 +33%)Royal Pleasure |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Royal Pleasure 22/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 22/1) 14 days ago, missing break. Hood back on. On a long losing run but dangerously well treated; interesting if strong in the betting. |
|||
(10)  (25/1 -25%)Glendown |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Glendown 25/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Ninth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (6f) 32 days ago. C&D winner in November but hard to predict and others make more appeal. |
|||
(6)  (33/1 -106%)Antiphon |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Antiphon 33/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm, 12/1). Off 109 days. First run for yard after leaving Gay Kelleway. On lenient mark if he can be revitalised but unplaced on three previous runs at Southwell. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Rebel Empire powered clear to win over this trip at Lingfield on Tuesday and he reappears quickly under a 5lb penally. He can go well, but a chance is taken on TYKE, who is slipping down the ratings after some below-par efforts but has won three of his five starts here and is clearly capable on his day. Penalised C&D winner Ormolulu and Many A Star could fight it out for third.
MANY A STAR continues to shape better than the bare result and could be worth chancing up against penalised-winners Ormolulu and Rebel Empire.
An open contest can go to the well-handicapped MANY A STAR who shaped as if ready to strike when third at Chelmsford last month.

10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kaleidoscope Eyes 10/3, Too free for her own good and not in same form as when narrowly beaten 7 days earlier when fourth of 12 in nursery (3/1) at this course (8.1f) just over 2 weeks ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Expected to be bang there. Quite a consistent and versatile maiden; solid claims in new headgear. |
|||
(2)  (7/2 +0%)Grey Operations |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Grey Operations 7/2, Well-backed 5/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, showed improved form when third of 11 in nursery at this C&D 16 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Yard also saddle Followeroffashion. Improved form over C&D last month on handicap debut; could well build on that effort. |
|||
(5)  (11/2 -22%)Andalseeyagraham |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Andalseeyagraham 11/2, Showed much improved form to cause a shock when winning 10-runner nursery at Newcastle (6f, 125/1) 7 days ago, getting a much clearer run down the outside than some of his rivals. May do better still now up and running. Likely player, provided the form of his 125-1 win at Newcastle is confirmed. |
|||
(12)  (15/2 +6%)A Fine Claret |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) A Fine Claret 15/2, Below form after just 5 days off when sixth of 12 in nursery (5/1) at Newcastle (6f) 7 weeks ago. Was placed on both outings prior so could bounce back. Peak effort when second here in November; not ruled out. |
|||
(3)  (8/1 +43%)Ceira G |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ceira G 8/1, 20/1, still in need of experience when sixth of 9 in novice at Chelmsford City (6f) 4 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Gay Kelleway. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. May do better now handicapping in first-time tongue-tie; new stable. |
|||
(1)  (9/1 -6%)What What What |
9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) What What What 9/1, Got back on track when fourth of 10 in nursery (14/1) at Newcastle (5f) 2 weeks ago. Back up in trip. Hood on 1st time. Possibilities, provided the fitting of hood prompts another step forward. |
|||
(7)  (11/1 +67%)Miss Pocket Rocket |
11/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Miss Pocket Rocket 11/1, 25/1, last of 4 in novice at Chester (6.1f, soft) back in September. Makes handicap debut but looks of little account. Could turn things around now handicapping on AW. |
|||
(8)  (20/1 -43%)Black Sky |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Black Sky 20/1, Again showed little when tenth of 11 in nursery at this C&D (9/1) 16 days ago, carrying head awkwardly. Similar type to Followeroffashion and ties in with that rival. |
|||
(6)  (22/1 -57%)Followeroffashion |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Followeroffashion 22/1, 6/1, failed to build on previous promise when seventh of 9 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 23 days ago, weakening final 1f. Yard also saddle Grey Operations. Eyecatcher at Newcastle in November; perhaps best to forgive latest run. |
|||
(9)  (22/1 -10%)General Gordon |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) General Gordon 22/1, Down the field in varied events. Can only be watched. Not a solid option but this drop back to sprinting may help. |
|||
(10)  (28/1 -273%)Cuda Been A Rowlex |
28/1(-273%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Cuda Been A Rowlex 28/1, 5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 10 in nursery at this course (7.1f) 22 days ago. Hard to enthuse over. The market suggested better was expected last time; may improve. |
|||
(11)  (50/1 -150%)Tango In Paris |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Tango In Paris 50/1, Well held all 4 starts. Makes handicap debut. One of a few runners who may fare better now switched to a handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
In a race with very little recent winning form, ANDALSEEYAGRAHAM stands out after getting off the mark over this trip at Newcastle a week ago. A shock 125/1 winner that day, an added 4lb may not stop him from following up with Ethan Tindall retaining the ride. Archie Watson won this last year and Grey Operations is narrowly preferred over Followeroffashion of his pair, while Ceira G and Miss Pocket Rocket look interesting ahead of their handicap debuts.
KALEIDOSCOPE EYES was narrowly denied over 7f here last month and having been too free for her own good in a reapplied hood upped to 1m last time, Mick Appleby's filly gets the nod to open her account back sprinting in a change of headgear. Grey Operations heads up the dangers following his improved effort over C&D recently, with A Fine Claret and Andalseeyagraham taken to fight out minor honours.
Being likely to build on his C&D effort, GREY OPERATIONS (nap) holds particularly strong claims. Kaleidoscope Eyes is second pick.

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.
