Races & Results Thursday 6th February 2025
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Carlton 8/13, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. 9/4, very good second of 7 in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago, well clear of rest. Big shout. Thrived for new yard, winning four times at Chelmsford and second over C&D; leading claims.
5
(5) (11/2 +31%) Night Bear
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(5) Night Bear 11/2, Course winner. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at this course (11.1f) 22 days ago. Up in trip and in the mix. Third over 1m4f here in December but only sixth over 1m3f since; stamina unknown.
2
(2) (6/1 -9%) Alright Sunshine
6
6/1(-9%)
(2) Alright Sunshine 6/1, Unreliable sort. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Losing run goes back to 2022 and latest 2m Lingfield fourth was only respectable.
3
(3) (7/1 -27%) For Pleasure
7
7/1(-27%)
(3) For Pleasure 7/1, 9/2, improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, soft) 38 days ago. Fair on the Flat so must enter calculations. Arrives in form after recent hurdle win; won off similar mark on AW last year; respected.
6
(6) (22/1 -83%) Annandale
22
22/1(-83%)
(6) Annandale 22/1, Latest win at Newcastle in January. Seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (11.1f, 9/1) 13 days ago. Back up in trip with more required. Won over 1m2f at Newcastle last month; fourth there next time but always behind here since.
4
(4) (25/1 +24%) Corsican Caper
25
25/1(+24%)
(4) Corsican Caper 25/1, Course winner. Five wins from 20 runs last year. Only fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (16.5f, 40/1) 7 days ago, slowly away. Must improve. Not at his best on his four AW starts this winter; others are preferred again.
17:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CARLTON lost his unbeaten record for the James Owen yard when hitting the crossbar in this grade over C&D last month, but that was still a good effort. The five-year-old is only 3lb higher and even a repeat of that display might be good enough to continue his rise through the ranks. Alright Sunshine was behind the selection at Chelmsford prior to finishing fourth in a stronger event at Lingfield last time and could have a say. Night Bear is another to consider.
This can go the way of CARLTON who is fancied to resume winning ways on the back of his very good recent C&D third. For Pleasure appeals as the main danger on the back of his Haydock hurdling success with Night Bear also in the picture.
Although CARLTON had his winning run ended when second over C&D, he was 7l clear of the third and can show he's still on a good mark.
(3) Biplane 9/5, Course winner. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 13/2) 2 days ago. Big shout under a penalty. Major player despite 4lb penalty for her win at Newcastle on Tuesday.
4
(4) (2/1 +67%) Runaround Sioux
2
2/1(+67%)
(4) Runaround Sioux 2/1, Pulled too hard at Kempton (6f) 29 days ago and first-time headgear may not help in that regard. Has dropped to a handy mark and could make her presence felt in first-time cheekpieces.
2
(2) (9/2 +25%) Lady Wingalong
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(2) Lady Wingalong 9/2, Four wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Rare below-par effort when eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 15/2) 19 days ago. Type to bounce back. Four wins last year but something to prove on only her second go over a trip this short.
9
(9) (15/2 -25%) Starsong
7.5
15/2(-25%)
(9) Starsong 15/2, C&D winner. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 19 days ago. C&D winner; may not face much competition for the lead; each-way claims at least.
1
(1) (11/1 -83%) The Real Mckay
11
11/1(-83%)
(1) The Real Mckay 11/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year, including over C&D. Seventh of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Kempton (6f), unable to sustain effort. Off 134 days. Won twice last year including over C&D; returns from 134 days off after wind surgery.
7
(7) (18/1 -13%) Scarlet Lady
18
18/1(-13%)
(7) Scarlet Lady 18/1, Below par since wide-margin winner at Yarmouth in the summer, seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago. Hasn't built on her easy win at Yarmouth in August; resurgence is required.
6
(6) (80/1 -220%) Green Tax
80
80/1(-220%)
(6) Green Tax 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Daniel O'Brien when ninth of 11 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 250/1) 35 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Three well-spaced-out runs for three different trainers; improvement needed.
8
(8) (80/1 -220%) Belle Flora
80
80/1(-220%)
(8) Belle Flora 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Tom Clover when ninth of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 29 days ago. Must improve. Beaten a long way at Newcastle on stable debut after 475 days off; others preferred.
17:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Bazball produced a better display in first-time cheekpieces when a respectable fourth at Newcastle on her most recent start and could go well off a 1lb lower rating. However, the vote goes to STARSONG, who attempted to make every yard of the running before fading into fourth at Wolverhampton last month. The six-year-old is a previous C&D winner and can capitalise on her appealing mark. The Real McKay is next best.
BIPLANE scored in good style at Newcastle on Tuesday and has obvious claims if turned out quickly under a penalty. Bazball took a step back in the right direction starting out for this yard when fourth at Newcastle so is feared most ahead of Lady Wingalong.
A chance is taken with BAZBALL who showed a lot more when fourth on stable debut last time and is 11lb below her last winning mark.
(5) Transparent 4/11, Confirmed debut promise when winning 13-runner novice at Kempton (7f, 4/6) 29 days ago, well on top finish (the third has won since). Capable of following up with more still to offer upped in trip. Led late over 7f at Kempton last month and 1m should bring about more improvement.
1
(1) (5/1 -11%) Quickly
5
5/1(-11%)
(1) Quickly 5/1, Made some appeal on pedigree and shaped promisingly when third of 11 in novice (40/1) at this C&D on debut 39 days ago. Should do better with that first experience behind him. 40-1 but promise when third on C&D debut in December; should improve and go well.
7
(7) (13/2 -63%) Francis Drake
6.5
13/2(-63%)
(7) Francis Drake 13/2, Belardo gelding. Dam useful French 6.5f-9f winner out of unraced half-sister to high-class 2-y-o 7f winner Teofilo, unbeaten Dewhurst Stakes winner. One to note for yard capable of readying a newcomer. Newcomer from a good yard who would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for him.
3
(3) (14/1 -115%) Tapis Rouge
14
14/1(-115%)
(3) Tapis Rouge 14/1, Left debut form behind when second of 7 in maiden (22/1) at this C&D 13 days ago, albeit having run of the race. Will need to find more again. Stepped up on debut when second over C&D 13 days ago; may do better again.
2
(2) (22/1 -38%) Live Aid
22
22/1(-38%)
(2) Live Aid 22/1, In first-time hood/tongue strap, showed more than on previous 2 starts in bumpers when fifth of 11 at Leopardstown (16f, good, 28/1) in December. Switches to the Flat as he makes first since leaving Emmet Mullins. Showed ability on third bumper start; left Emmet Mullins for 9,000gns since.
6
(6) (25/1 -79%) Bouboule
25
25/1(-79%)
(6) Bouboule 25/1, Modest form both starts so far, still in need of experience when fourth of 6 in maiden (12/1) at this C&D 13 days ago. Likely to be suited by further in time. Has shown ability both starts but handicaps may be more his thing.
4
(4) (40/1 -100%) Sawgrass
40
40/1(-100%)
(4) Sawgrass 40/1, Whose yard knows this family well, shaped as if one for the longer term when sixth of 13 in novice at Kempton (11f, 40/1) on debut 17 days ago. Down in trip. Prominent for long way on recent 1m3f debut; drops 3f in trip now.
8
(8) (125/1 -150%) Malay Massaman
125
125/1(-150%)
(8) Malay Massaman 125/1, Has finished well held in his 2 outings to date, eighth of 10 in maiden (80/1) at this C&D 20 days ago. Tongue strap now applied but major improvement required. Beaten around 15l at Chelmsford and over C&D last month; tongue-tie added now.
18:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Quickly showed ability when reaching the frame on his debut over track and trip in December and he should mount a bold bid. However, TRANSPARENT gets the nod as he took a step forward from his debut second to justify short odds in good style at Kempton last month and could have plenty more to offer. Bouboule was fourth over C&D last time and he isn't ruled out either.
TRANSPARENT has made a promising start to his career, landing the odds in a Kempton novice a month ago, and with the step up in trip likely to suit he can score again. Francis Drake makes plenty of appeal on paper and could be a contender on debut, while Quickly is open to improvement following the encouragement he showed first time up.
The manner of TRANSPARENT's Kempton success suggests the step up to 1m is sure to suit and he looks up to defying a penalty.
(2) I Can't Believe 9/4, Capitalised on falling mark when opening his account at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January and ran even better under a penalty when second of 8 in handicap at same course (9.5f, 2/1) only a day later. Major player. Win and second inside 24 hours at Wolverhampton at end of January; big player.
5
(5) (11/4 +54%) Retraction
2.75
11/4(+54%)
(5) Retraction 11/4, Placed on final 3 starts last year before not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Needs things to drop right but he enters calculations. Ended 2024 with three placed efforts but only fifth over C&D last month.
7
(7) (11/4 -22%) Northern Cracksman
2.75
11/4(-22%)
(7) Northern Cracksman 11/4, Confirmed recent promise when getting off the mark in 6-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f, 9/4) 12 days ago, scoring with a bit in hand. Not taken lightly now that he's up and running. Came under Billy Loughnane at Newcastle recently and should go well again.
10
(10) (15/2 +17%) Ring Of Gold
7.5
15/2(+17%)
(10) Ring Of Gold 15/2, Twenty-three runs since last win in 2022. Got going too late when sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 10/1) 23 days ago, but he has dropped a long way in the weights if first-time visor has a positive effect. No obvious encouragement of late; a first-time visor needs to help..
4
(4) (10/1 +29%) Light Up Our Stars
10
10/1(+29%)
(4) Light Up Our Stars 10/1, C&D winner last summer. Ran better than on first start this year when respectable 3 lengths fifth of 10 to I Can't Believe in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 16/1) 10 days ago, but others still more persuasive. Well-treated C&D scorer but 3l fifth to I Can't Believe at Wolverhampton recently.
1
(1) (12/1 +25%) Al Suil Eile
12
12/1(+25%)
(1) Al Suil Eile 12/1, Won twice at this C&D last year. Below form when 6¾ lengths eighth of 10 to I Can't Believe in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 16/1) 10 days ago, but he's not ruled out back at this venue. Three C&D wins last winter but yet to find same form this AW season.
9
(9) (25/1 -14%) Mykonos St John
25
25/1(-14%)
(9) Mykonos St John 25/1, Three wins from 20 runs in 2024 but lesser efforts both outings so far this year, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 20/1) 9 days ago. Others make more appeal. Well treated on last year's form but he's been more miss than hit lately.
3
(3) (25/1 +0%) Down To The Kid
25
25/1(+0%)
(3) Down To The Kid 25/1, Course winner. Making second start for current yard, again finished well held when last of 11 in handicap at this course (11.1f, 25/1) 22 days ago. Has enough to prove as he drops back in trip. Tailed off in two runs over 1m3f here since returning from wind surgery.
8
(8) (40/1 -122%) Create
40
40/1(-122%)
(8) Create 40/1, C&D winner on debut. Also scored at Doncaster last summer but has been struggling for form since, last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 12/1) 47 days ago. C&D winner but mixed form of late.
6
(6) (66/1 -164%) First Dynasty
66
66/1(-164%)
(6) First Dynasty 66/1, Doubled his tally at this C&D in October. However, below form both starts since joining current yard, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 40/1) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. C&D scorer in October but has gone off the boil since.
18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
NORTHERN CRACKSMAN took advantage of a sliding mark when scoring over this trip at Newcastle last month and, upped 5lb, a repeat of that effort should put him bang there for his in-form stable. Runner-up over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton most recently, I Can't Believe is of renewed interest stepping back in trip off the same mark. Retraction is becoming attractively handicapped and he can also make his presence felt.
I CAN'T BELIEVE has been going the right way since the application of a visor, getting off the mark at Wolverhampton before bumping into a thriving rival at the same course 9 days ago, so he is taken to continue his good spell and resume winning ways. Northern Cracksman also arrives in form and is respected, with Retraction another who is capable of getting involved.
Northern Cracksman is much respected on the back of his breakthrough Newcastle win but narrow preference is for I CAN'T BELIEVE.
(1) Frankies Dream 2/1, 6/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 5 days ago. Scored comfortably there so merits serious consideration under a 6 lb penalty. Has won 3-5 in 2025 and been second twice; can complete a hat-trick..
3
(3) (16/5 -42%) Until Dawn
3.2
16/5(-42%)
(3) Until Dawn 16/5, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f, 10/3) 16 days ago by ¾ length from Frankies Dream. Hood back on and firmly in the picture. Up 7lb for making all at Newcastle (5f); likely to need further improvement to win again..
8
(8) (6/1 +8%) Sunny Time
6
6/1(+8%)
(8) Sunny Time 6/1, Winner at Lingfield in January. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 8/11) 7 days ago. Needs considering. 5f Polytrack winner; beaten at odds-on latest; needs better to win again..
4
(4) (6/1 +57%) Zadkiel
6
6/1(+57%)
(4) Zadkiel 6/1, Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 12 in nursery (11/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 66 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John & Sean Quinn. Others more persuasive. Promise on slow turf but below par last three runs; needs to bounce back on stable debut..
6
(6) (13/2 +19%) Bank On Kent
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(6) Bank On Kent 13/2, Ran one of his lesser races when sixth of 7 to Frankies Dream in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others appeal more. Placed in 4-12 starts; headgear discarded; each-way claims if bouncing back..
2
(2) (7/1 +42%) Roysdelight
7
7/1(+42%)
(2) Roysdelight 7/1, 9/2, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 26 days ago so needs to get back on track. Ran no sort of race last time but earlier form suggests he shouldn't be written off..
7
(7) (40/1 -100%) Coul Harswell
40
40/1(-100%)
(7) Coul Harswell 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, below-form sixth of 10 in nursery at Newcastle (5f) 47 days ago. Others preferred. Modest form on debut but has taken a few backward steps since; others preferred..
5
(5) (66/1 -230%) Woodhay Whisper
66
66/1(-230%)
(5) Woodhay Whisper 66/1, Only seventh of 8 to Frankies Dream in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 50/1) 33 days ago. More is needed. Not disgraced at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start but others press stronger claims..
9
(9) (100/1 -203%) Baby Rover
100
100/1(-203%)
(9) Baby Rover 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Only sixth of 7 to Until Dawn in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 33/1) 16 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Early days but she has no form which suggests she'll be breaking her duck today.
19:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
FRANKIES DREAM has only finished out of the first two once in six attempts since being fitted with a hood (retained). He looks the most solid proposition having readily showed his rivals a clean pair of heels over 6f at Newcastle on Saturday. He can make light of a 6lb penalty at the chief expense of Sunny Time, who was turned over at short odds at Chelmsford last month but he could bounce back off the same mark. Until Dawn is also respected.
FRANKIES DREAM comes here at the top of his game so is taken to make light of a 6 lb penalty for his ready Newcastle victory and complete a hat-trick. Until Dawn is feared most on the back of his own Newcastle success with Sunny Time also in the mix.
A relatively weak contest and, although a 6lb penalty might make it tougher, FRANKIES DREAM (nap) is taken to complete a hat-trick.
(2) Dash Gordon 5/6, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Respectable third of 9 in minor event (8/11) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 13 days ago. Bold show likely. Won over C&D under Loughnane last month; only third since but still the one to beat.
4
(4) (3/1 -20%) Stroxx
3
3/1(-20%)
(4) Stroxx 3/1, Two wins from 58 Flat runs. Latest win at Newcastle in January. 6/1, very good third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 5 days ago. Strong claims. In form but Dash Gordon was too strong in a C&D classified event last month.
3
(3) (7/1 +13%) Stone Of Destiny
7
7/1(+13%)
(3) Stone Of Destiny 7/1, Untrustworthy individual. C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 8 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 22 days ago. Opposable. C&D winner in late 2023 but hasn't really threatened to add to tally here in recent weeks.
1
(1) (8/1 +0%) Sir Benedict
8
8/1(+0%)
(1) Sir Benedict 8/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 14/1) 17 days ago. Others arrive here in better form. Didn't threaten in two comeback runs at Wolverhampton but this track suits him well.
5
(5) (9/1 -157%) Starshot
9
9/1(-157%)
(5) Starshot 9/1, Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. 25/1, good second of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (5f, AW) 13 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once again. 0-26 but beat Dash Gordon when second at Lingfield latest, on first attempt at 5f.
19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
DASH GORDON finished third over this trip at Lingfield last time out but was in winning form over this C&D prior to that and a prominent showing looks likely. If allowed his own way out in front, Stroxx could prove difficult to peg back having performed well off this mark when third in a similar event at Newcastle recently. Starshot is also noteworthy.
STROXX is clearly in good heart and is appealing off the same mark as when a close third at Newcastle on Saturday. He earns the vote ahead of Starshot, who put in a good shift in a minor event at Lingfield recently and he is just about second choice ahead of Dash Gordon.
Although DASH GORDON was behind Starshot at last time, it might be a different story back at the scene of his win last month.
(3) Stella Hogan 11/4, Latest win at Kempton in January. Good second of 8 in handicap (4/5) at the same course (8f) 17 days ago, conceding first run. Has to be taken seriously off the same mark here. Probably not ideally suited by how latest start was run; may have more to come; player..
4
(4) (3/1 +33%) Billy Mcgarry
3
3/1(+33%)
(4) Billy Mcgarry 3/1, Course winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. 2/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Place possibilities. Goes well here; had excuses at Chelmsford latest; up 2lb and should be in the mix..
8
(8) (7/2 +56%) Flash The Dash
3.5
7/2(+56%)
(8) Flash The Dash 7/2, Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 14 days ago and others look stronger. 6f and 7f winner; handy mark but was below par over C&D latest and needs to bounce back..
1
(1) (5/1 +50%) Pinjarra
5
5/1(+50%)
(1) Pinjarra 5/1, 80/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 59 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and probably best watched for now. Form has gone backwards since a year off; workable mark but need to see more from him..
5
(5) (12/1 +14%) Embarked
12
12/1(+14%)
(5) Embarked 12/1, C&D winner. 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. C&D winner; shaped as if he might be on his way back latest; handy mark if revived..
9
(9) (16/1 +0%) Melsmay
16
16/1(+0%)
(9) Melsmay 16/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/1) 9 days ago. Not without each-way hope. Placed here (1m) in classified company but moderate form so far; more needed..
6
(6) (16/1 +36%) Timebar
16
16/1(+36%)
(6) Timebar 16/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 13 days ago. First-time blinkers and tongue strap now enlisted. 0-8 and has offered only glimpses of ability; headgear changed; others preferred..
7
(7) (28/1 -100%) Maith An Farhh
28
28/1(-100%)
(7) Maith An Farhh 28/1, 18/1, first run since leaving James Ferguson when eighth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Opposable. 0-8 and there was no immediate improvement latest for a change of trainer..
10
(10) (33/1 0%) Hector's Left Foot
33
33/1(0%)
(10) Hector's Left Foot 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, fourteenth of 18 in novice at Doncaster (6f, firm). Off 8 months ahead of this handicap debut and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Has shown no worthwhile form in three starts; makes handicap debut..
20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The recent Kempton scorer Stella Hogan appeals on overall form. However, her limitations were exposed when she failed to justify odds-on favouritism off this mark over 1m at the same venue most recently. Having never previously raced at Southwell, she could be worth taking on. EMBARKED, a C&D winner off 8lb higher, may represent a bit of value after hinting at a revival when cheekpieces were added here last week. Autumn Angel is also noted.
This looks ripe for STELLA HOGAN, who made it third time lucky for this yard at Kempton last month and looked unlucky not to follow up back there five days later. She may have most to fear from Billy McGarry, while Autumn Angel is best of the rest.
The suggestion is STELLA HOGAN, who wasn't best suited by how her latest Kempton start was run. She may be capable of better.
(5) Portoro 10/3, Latest win at Kempton in December. Creditable second of 8 over C&D 14 days ago, running on. Should give another good account. 1m2f turf and 7f Polytrack winner; good effort (C&D) latest; up 2lb; should be in the mix..
9
(9) (4/1 +20%) Fistral Beach
4
4/1(+20%)
(9) Fistral Beach 4/1, Placed twice over C&D this year, although Portoro was ahead of her on the first occasion. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Placed over C&D on her last two starts and has to be taken seriously after that..
4
(4) (9/2 +25%) Devasboy
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(4) Devasboy 9/2, Twenty nine runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Given a chance by the handicapper. Tapeta and 7f winner; below par last twice; on a handy mark and interesting if supported..
8
(8) (8/1 -33%) Stoic Syd

20:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Recent form points towards another bold showing from PORTORO, who wasn't beaten far over C&D a fortnight ago and can make amends for that narrow defeat in a race that lacks strength in depth. Fistral Beach is closely matched with the selection based on their encounter over track and trip last month and is feared. Stoic Syd and Vixey are others to note.
PORTORO has had a consistent spell since last spring and this looks a decent opportunity for him to get his head back in front. Fistral Beach is quite closely matched with the selection on C&D form last month and should go well again, while Devasboy is down to a mark he really ought to be competitive from.
With not much strength in depth, preference is for PORTORO who has been consistent of late and may be capable of seeing off this field.

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
