(4)  (Evens -49%)Orchard Park |
Evens(-49%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Orchard Park Evens, 90,000 gns Showcasing filly. Sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Project Black and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful pair Union Rose and Lady Aria. 14/1, third (1¼ lengths behind Moonstone Boy) of 7 in maiden over C&D on debut 10 days ago, slowly away. Will improve and big shout. Just behind Moonstone Boy over C&D on recent debut but ought to have learned from that. |
|||
(3)  (Evens +20%)Moonstone Boy |
Evens(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moonstone Boy Evens, Fairly useful form. 9/4, good second of 7 in maiden at this C&D 10 days ago after 8 months off. Should go close again. Placed on all four 2yo starts and kept on well for second over C&D last week; big player. |
|||
(1)  (22/1 -38%)Kipp Kelly |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kipp Kelly 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in maiden at this C&D (200/1) 10 days ago. Not beaten far when sixth of seven over C&D recently but needs to improve again. |
|||
(5)  (25/1 +0%)Unforgettable Fire |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Unforgettable Fire 25/1, £48,000 yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Dark Thirty. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner). Last of 5 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f, 22/1) on debut. Off 105 days. Down in trip. Hooded for 1st time. 22-1, dropped out tamely and was well beaten on debut at Chelmsford (5f) in November. |
|||
(2)  (40/1 -400%)Kodenza |
40/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kodenza 40/1, 36,000 gns yearling, Kodiac gelding. Closely related to 5f winner Valentine Blues and half-brother to useful 5f winner Celsius. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 6f winner Shanghai Glory. Closely related to a fair 5f AW winner; has fairly good standard to reach on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The consistent MOONSTONE BOY (second) fared best of the trio who clashed over C&D 10 days ago and is taken to confirm the form en route to gaining an overdue first career success. Orchard Park (third) showed her inexperience when finishing a length and a quarter behind the selection, but warrants serious thought given she is at least entitled to be wiser this time. Kipp Kelly (sixth) has something to find, but could still be best of the rest.
ORCHARD PARK was very green when third over C&D on debut 10 days ago and can find the required improvement to beat the more exposed Moonstone Boy, who finished 1¼ lengths in front of the selection that day.
After a promising debut over C&D ten days ago, ORCHARD PARK can improve past Moonstone Boy.

(8)  (7/4 +75%)Secret Squirrel |
7/4(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Secret Squirrel 7/4, Won both starts in bumpers. Fairly useful winning form over hurdles, runner-up again last time. Useful in bumpers/hurdles; dam won an AW bumper; market useful. |
|||
(12)  (5/2 -25%)Eleanor Cross |
5/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Eleanor Cross 5/2, Fairly useful filly. 13/8, very good nose second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago, needing stiffer test. Makes tapeta debut. Sets a solid standard. Short head behind Caustic on penultimate outing and 6lb better off; shouldn't be far away. |
|||
(2)  (9/2 -80%)Caustic |
9/2(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Caustic 9/2, Runner-up in 2 bumpers and confirmed Flat debut promise when winning 7-runner novice at Lingfield (12f, AW) 29 days ago by nose from Eleanor Cross. 6 lb worse off with winner here but he's open to improvement. Showed ability before narrowly beating Eleanor Cross at Lingfield; could confirm the form. |
|||
(4)  (7/1 -27%)Marble Sands |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Marble Sands 7/1, Bumper winner. Useful hurdler and smart form over fences this season, successful in novice handicap at Musselburgh last month. Interesting Flat debutant. Smart performer over jumps and won over fences last month; market interesting. |
|||
(3)  (10/1 +29%)Little Peter |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Little Peter 10/1, Fair bumper winner who produced a promising first effort in this sphere when second of 9 in novice at Southwell (11.1f, 66/1) on Flat debut in December. However, below that form when fourth at Kempton (11f, 6/1) 55 days ago. Bumper winner and in the frame in both starts on AW; a bit to find with Caustic on form. |
|||
(1)  (11/1 +8%)Cannon Rock |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cannon Rock 11/1, Twice-raced winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, won 9-runner maiden at Newmarket (10f, good to soft, 9/2). Up in trip. Sold from Charlie Appleby 16,000 gns and looks vulnerable under a penalty after 16 months off. Turf winner for Charlie Appleby in October 2022; market instructive on stable debut. |
|||
(9)  (50/1 -456%)Emaculate Soldier |
50/1(-456%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Emaculate Soldier 50/1, €92,000 yearling, €350,000 2-y-o, Sea The Moon colt. Brother to useful French/German winner up to 1¼m Enjoy The Moon. Dam 1m winner. 9/1, fifth of 6 in novice at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut. Off 10 months. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on. Subsequently gelded and should improve. Well held on debut last spring but should enjoy the longer trip on pedigree; tongue-tie on. |
|||
(5)  (66/1 -313%)Mr Zippi |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mr Zippi 66/1, Dual bumper winner, well held in better grade last time. Flat debut. Won two small-field bumpers last year, but well beaten in a Listed bumper in December. |
|||
(7)  (150/1 -838%)Rotten Row |
150/1(-838%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rotten Row 150/1, 11/2, not seen to best effect on belated debut when 12½ lengths fourth of 7 to Uxmal in maiden at Tramore in September, left poorly placed. Has left Anthony Mullins. Fairly useful hurdler/chaser, fourth in claimer last time. Headgear applied. Bumper/hurdles/chase winner in Ireland; watch market on stable/AW debut; new headgear. |
|||
(11)  (150/1 -650%)Storm Spirit |
150/1(-650%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Storm Spirit 150/1, Placed in 2 of 3 bumpers (modest form, looked less than straightforward). 66/1, similar form when fifth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (10.2f) on Flat debut 12 days ago. Placed in two of three bumpers and some ability on Flat debut, but looks one for handicaps. |
|||
(6)  (150/1 -355%)Ridge Hill |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ridge Hill 150/1, In the frame in 2 bumpers but well held both starts on the Flat. A long way behind a couple of these at Lingfield last month; look elsewhere. |
|||
(10)  (250/1 -279%)Royal Observatory |
250/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Royal Observatory 250/1, Mid-division on first of 2 starts in bumpers. Well held in two soft-ground bumpers this year (tailed off last time); little appeal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CAUSTIC showed tenacity when winning a similar race over this trip at Lingfield early last month and is fancied to cope with the penalty. Cannon Rock, who left Godolphin for just 16,000gns last September, is the only other winner on the Flat in the race and commands respect on debut for new connections, despite returning from a lengthy absence. Eleanor Cross was a close second to the selection at Lingfield and is a must for consideration on the revised terms.
ELEANOR CROSS was again only just denied at Kempton 2 weeks ago and this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better back up in trip. Caustic is 6 lb worse off having beaten the selection at Lingfield but this son of Galileo is open to further improvement and may pose the biggest threat again.
Despite being 6lb worse off with Eleanor Cross after beating her narrowly last time, CAUSTIC is taken to confirm the form.

(2)  (5/2 +44%)Tropez Power |
5/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tropez Power 5/2, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 45 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not out of things from this sort of mark, particularly granted a good pace to aim at. Record over C&D reads 131; seems likely to get the solid pace he needs; interesting. |
|||
(1)  (10/3 +52%)Assessment |
10/3(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Assessment 10/3, Low-mileage 5-y-o who displayed useful form when winning 2 of his first 4 starts for Sir Michael Stoute prior to being pulled up at Sandown (1m) last May (went wrong after 3f). Acquired by new connections for 30,000 gns in October and definitely worth considering back from 9 months off. Makes stable debut after another long absence, but has a fine record fresh; watch market. |
|||
(3)  (4/1 -14%)Borgi |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Borgi 4/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 11/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days ago. Taken well to the drop back to 1m and likely to continue in form. Course winner over 7f; only just lost out to a progressive rival last time and shortlisted. |
|||
(6)  (6/1 -33%)Leap Day |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Leap Day 6/1, Shed maiden tag over C&D in December and remained in form since, good second of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Expected to give another good account up in grade. C&D novice winner in December and narrowly beaten the last twice, but up another 3lb. |
|||
(4)  (7/1 -17%)Gincident |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gincident 7/1, Three wins from 10 runs last year. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 35 days ago. Handicapper has given him a chance but he could do with settling better. Three wins on Tapeta last winter; worth a second look back off his last winning mark. |
|||
(5)  (7/1 -56%)Master Of Combat |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Master Of Combat 7/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. 7/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 25 days ago. Present mark doesn't look beyond him on pick of his AW form this winter. Seen more often at Wolverhampton but has run well over C&D; each-way claims. |
|||
(7)  (28/1 -40%)Perseverants |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Perseverants 28/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 10 days ago, possibly in need of the run following 10 months off. Still, others more persuasive. 1lb below last winning mark but well beaten on his return over C&D ten days ago. |
|||
(9)  (40/1 -186%)Life On The Rocks |
40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Life On The Rocks 40/1, Successful over 1¼m as a 4-y-o. Missed whole of last season and couldn't get involved from a poor position on return from 18 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 17/2) 18 days ago. This should reveal more. 3lb below sole winning mark, but well held on return from mammoth absence last month. |
|||
(8)  (100/1 -150%)Vecchio |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Vecchio 100/1, First run since leaving Freddie & Martyn Meade when last of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 40 days ago, weakening 2f out. That was his first start for 7 months and this ought to reveal more. Yard also saddle Perseverants. 0-7 and failed to beat a rival on his stable/AW debut in January; look elsewhere. |
|||
(10)  (125/1 -150%)Three Yorkshiremen |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Three Yorkshiremen 125/1, Successful over 1m for Richard Fahey last summer and solid start for new yard when runner-up over hurdles at Musselburgh (15.5f) in November. However, proved disappointing in 2 starts on the level since. Others preferred despite easing mark. 1-15 and has beaten just one rival in two starts on Polytrack; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
LEAP DAY has held his form well since scoring over C&D at the end of 2023 and, off just 4lb higher, the Tim Easterby-trained gelding is a highly appealing option. Borgi, a good second in a deeper race at Lingfield, rates a threat to all based on his potential to improve again. Tropez Power is another previous C&D winner who cannot be ruled out on his debut run for the Quinn yard. Master Of Combat has each-way appeal.
ASSESSMENT has been absent since being pulled up at Sandown last spring but he'd previously looked one to keep firmly on side and this low-mileage 5-y-o could be worth chancing to make a winning return (has gone well fresh) on debut for Archie Watson. Leap Day is running consistently well and feared, along with Tropez Power and Borgi.
The vote goes to TROPEZ POWER (nap) whose record over C&D reads 131 and who should get the solid pace he requires.

(3)  (5/2 +9%)Perfect Swiss |
5/2(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Perfect Swiss 5/2, Resumed winning ways, in first-time blinkers, when taking 9-runner handicap at this course (7.1f) 19 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and is one for shortlist. 7f course winner in first-time blinkers last month and probably better suited by 1m. |
|||
(6)  (5/2 +50%)Daafy |
5/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Daafy 5/2, 5-time course winner, latest in January. Posted another creditable effort when third of 8 in handicap here (7.1f) 7 days ago. Visor back on. Enters calculations. Placed twice since last month's 7f course win and 1m also suits; probably in the mix again. |
|||
(5)  (4/1 -14%)King Of Speed |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) King Of Speed 4/1, Back on scoreboard when narrowly taking 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 22 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and not taken lightly. Suited by step up to 8.6f when scoring at Wolverhampton last month; major player. |
|||
(2)  (5/1 +0%)Candy Warhol |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Candy Warhol 5/1, Confirmed return to form when good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 28 days ago. Remains fairly treated and must enter calculations. Went very close over 7f at Wolverhampton last month and should be fine back at 1m. |
|||
(12)  (14/1 -40%)Spring Romance |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Spring Romance 14/1, 5/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 7 days ago, never nearer. Significantly back up in trip. Visor on 1st time, tongue strap back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Placed twice over 7f last month but 1m is not ideal, and his last win was in March 2021. |
|||
(4)  (16/1 -33%)The Follower |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Follower 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 32 days ago. Improvement required on handicap debut. Soundly beaten in three novices but might get more competitive in this low-grade handicap. |
|||
(8)  (18/1 -13%)Amaysmont |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Amaysmont 18/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 24 days ago. Work to do. Ran quite well over 7f here two starts ago but overall profile not persuasive. |
|||
(1)  (28/1 +15%)Kessaar Power |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kessaar Power 28/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 8 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 11 days ago. Makes limited appeal. Out of form in recent weeks and did not convince stamina-wise when upped to 1m 11 days ago. |
|||
(11)  (28/1 -300%)Mintnthat |
28/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Mintnthat 28/1, 16/1, first run since leaving Iain Jardine when seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (11.1f) 7 days ago. Visor back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Dual 1m winner for Iain Jardine in January; well beaten over 1m3f here on stable debut. |
|||
(10)  (50/1 -52%)Ciara Storm |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ciara Storm 50/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap (50/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 15 days ago. Still looking for first success. Nine-race maiden; close fifth at 200-1 in December but but well beaten twice since. |
|||
(9)  (66/1 -230%)Mickey Mongoose |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mickey Mongoose 66/1, 200/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, having run of race. Hard to fancy. Turf winner last June but has become disappointing since. |
|||
(7)  (80/1 -220%)Art Collection |
80/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Art Collection 80/1, Latest win at Chantilly in October. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 66/1) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others preferred. Soundly beaten on both starts since returning to Britain, and not yet proven over 1m. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
KING OF SPEED did it well when getting up late to triumph at Wolverhampton last month and with the form of that race having been well boosted since, he can follow up off a mere 2lb higher mark. Stepping up in trip after winning over 7f here, Perfect Swiss looks to be a danger, along with Candy Warhol, who was denied by the narrowest of margins at Wolverhampton.
Preference is for PERFECT SWISS, who was perked up by the addition of blinkers when scoring here last month and remains nicely treated on old form. King of Speed and Daafy should also go well.
Former sprinter KING OF SPEED kept on well to win when upped to 8.6f last month and remains unexposed at around 1m.

10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Eagle's Realm 10/3, Fourth win in 5 starts in 8-runner handicap at this C&D 29 days ago. This is tougher but no surprise to see him on the premises again. Record since returning to the AW reads 11121, his last two wins coming here; major player. |
|||
(10)  (7/2 -40%)The Craftymaster |
7/2(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) The Craftymaster 7/2, On a roll and brought up the 5-timer under this rider in 6-runner handicap (18/5) at Lingfield (15.8f) 23 days ago, kept up to work. First run at Southwell but no telling when his winning spree will end and he's got to top the shortlist again. Bids for a sixth straight win; high on the list provided he is as effective around here. |
|||
(8)  (9/2 +18%)De Vega's Warrior |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) De Vega's Warrior 9/2, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (13/2) at Kempton (16f) 13 days ago, well positioned. Others more persuasive for the win. Running well lately, including a couple of narrow defeats, but is now 0-22. |
|||
(1)  (9/2 +50%)Award Dancer |
9/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Award Dancer 9/2, Latest win at Redcar in October. 11/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 10 days ago. Respected back down in class. Fourth in all three starts since returning from wind surgery; bit more needed for the win. |
|||
(4)  (15/2 +17%)Military Tycoon |
15/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Military Tycoon 15/2, 25/1, seventh of 12 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 22 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, career best when winning on last Flat run for previous yard in October (under this rider). Still unexposed over this sort of trip and one to consider. Back on the Flat after two poor efforts over hurdles; has run well on Tapeta; shortlisted. |
|||
(2)  (9/1 +0%)Caldwell |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Caldwell 9/1, Latest win here in February. Ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (12.1f, 10/1) 10 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and this is more his level. Inconsistent since returning to the AW, but two course wins included one over this trip. |
|||
(3)  (16/1 -146%)Tradesman |
16/1(-146%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tradesman 16/1, Four wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 5/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 82 days ago. Nudged up another 2 lb but was still thriving before Christmas. Respected. Won four of his last six starts, but all on Polytrack and his Tapeta form doesn't match up. |
|||
(7)  (20/1 -43%)Bulldog Spirit |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bulldog Spirit 20/1, Latest win at Doncaster in June. Off 148 days. Significantly up in trip (stamina to prove). First run for yard after leaving Charlie Johnston. Up to this trip for the first time on stable debut after five months off; watch market. |
|||
(5)  (33/1 -200%)Champagne City |
33/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Champagne City 33/1, 150/1, third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 77 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Merits consideration. Ran well over a trip short of his best at Wolverhampton last time; each-way claims again. |
|||
(6)  (50/1 -257%)Pianissimo |
50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pianissimo 50/1, Fair staying handicapper. Been off 12 months (sold from Jo Davis €14,000 in September and back with former trainer). On a tempting mark if ready to go and interesting to see any strength behind him in the betting. No win since the end of 2019; back with his former trainer after a year off; watch market. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A comfortable winner over C&D last time out, EAGLE'S REALM has developed quite an affinity for Southwell this winter and a 4lb rise for that most recent success may not be enough to stop him making it five victories in his last six starts. That may be at the main expense of another winning machine in The Craftymaster, and Tradesman, who has been flying at Chelmsford and now goes back up in trip.
Some thriving stayers here, not least THE CRAFTYMASTER, who can make it 6 wins in a row if carrying on the good work on his first visit to Southwell. Eagle's Realm, seeking a fifth win in 6 starts, Tradesman and Award Dancer are live threats.
Thi can go to the bang-in-form EAGLE'S REALM who has gained his last two wins at this venue, the latest over this trip last month.

11/8(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bringbackmemories 11/8, Course winner. Latest win here in January. 3/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago. Enters calculations. Has run well here the last twice, winning over 1m4f and then third over this trip; player. |
|||
(5)  (7/2 +53%)Ninth Life |
7/2(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ninth Life 7/2, Winner on stable debut at Lingfield (10f) in December. However, not able to replicate that level either outing since, never on terms when sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 25 days ago. Stamina tested a little more now. Twice held since winning at Lingfield, but the return to a longer trip may help. |
|||
(1)  (11/2 +31%)Isle Of Sark |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Isle Of Sark 11/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 10/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f). Off 6 months and market should guide as to expectations. 0-14 since his successful debut in Ireland as a 2yo; others make greater appeal. |
|||
(8)  (8/1 -45%)Tiger Beetle |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tiger Beetle 8/1, 7/2, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago, unable land a blow having been left poorly placed. Lines up here back on last winning mark but this sort of trip does look on the limit of his stamina. Back off last winning mark; has run well over 1m4f on turf; each-way shout. |
|||
(7)  (8/1 +33%)Southern Voyage |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Southern Voyage 8/1, 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 18 days ago. Mark is easing all the time but he needs to show more before becoming of interest. Nothing since winning at Newcastle in September 2022; down in class but enough to prove. |
|||
(10)  (16/1 -256%)Fox Flame |
16/1(-256%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Fox Flame 16/1, Course winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year. Good third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 13/2) 20 days ago, doing best of those from off the pace. Lines up here 3 lb below last winning mark if she can build on that effort. Won over 1m4f here last year and ran well the last twice; may prefer further but respected. |
|||
(9)  (18/1 -227%)Absolute Queen |
18/1(-227%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Absolute Queen 18/1, 14/1, ninth of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 20 days ago, not seeing things out. Had been largely consistent previously on the level and whilst her mark looks about right on balance, no surprise to see her thereabouts. Off same mark as when placed in three consecutive starts in the autumn; each-way claims. |
|||
(2)  (33/1 -65%)Signora Bellissima |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Signora Bellissima 33/1, 4-y-o filly who found some improvement when doubling career tally in first-time blinkers at Navan (1m) last summer. Well held final starts for Johnny Murtagh and steps back up significantly in trip having changed hands for 6,000 gns in December. Betting may unearth some clues. Stable/AW debut after four months off; sister to an AW winner in Italy; market revealing. |
|||
(6)  (40/1 -150%)Golden Delite |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Golden Delite 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 34 days ago, shaken up over 2f out and no response. That was his first start for 5 months and this should reveal more. Ran well on second start for Jane Chapple-Hyam, but not matched it for this yard. |
|||
(4)  (50/1 -733%)Parish Councillor |
50/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Parish Councillor 50/1, Showed improved form when off the mark at second attempt in a Newcastle novice (1m) 13 months ago. Well held back from 10 months off under a penalty at that venue in December and he needs to leave that well behind now handicapping/upped in trip. Newcastle winner a year ago, but poor there in December; plenty to prove on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Not beaten far into third over C&D last time out and a winner here on his penultimate outing, BRINGBACKMEMORIES looks the one to beat on just his fourth all-weather start. Parish Councillor's most recent run when favourite at Newcastle was too bad to be true and better can be expected on his handicap debut. Fox Flame and Tiger Beetle have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.
A winner here in January, BRINGBACKMEMORIES again ran well when third over C&D 42 days ago and, re-united with his regular pilot, he looks sure to go well again. Tiger Beetle still needs to conclusively prove he wants this far but comes here on a workable mark and is respected. Absolute Queen may do best of the others.
Preference is for BRINGBACKMEMORIES who won over 1m4f here in January and ran well when third over C&D last time.

(5)  (7/4 +56%)Young Endless |
7/4(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Young Endless 7/4, 7/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 29 days ago. 1 lb lower now and he should be on the premises. Third behind in-form types in two of his three starts for this yard; still unexposed. |
|||
(1)  (9/4 -80%)Destinado |
9/4(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Destinado 9/4, 3/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (11.1f) 7 days ago. 0-9 when tried over trips in excess of 1½m but he did go close over 13.3f at Chelmsford last spring and is an obvious player under a penalty. 4-7 for the stable; this trip looks as far as he wants but still a major player. |
|||
(4)  (9/2 +10%)Socialist Agenda |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Socialist Agenda 9/2, Blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 12 in minor event (7/1) at this course (12.1f) 29 days ago. Not without each-way hope. Losing run of 17, but ran well last time and form has been franked; shortlisted. |
|||
(3)  (6/1 +14%)Billy Bathgate |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Billy Bathgate 6/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. 17/2, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (11.1f) 19 days ago, doing too much too soon. Back up in trip and can make his presence felt. Has run well a few times, including over C&D, but a record of 1-32 is hard to ignore. |
|||
(2)  (10/1 -33%)Basilette |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Basilette 10/1, 25/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 25 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view. Bumper winner who is 0-6 on the Flat, but this longer trip may suit her. |
|||
(7)  (22/1 -83%)Sociologist |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sociologist 22/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at this course (11.1f) 7 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Not certain to benefit from this step back up in trip. Best race for a while when fourth here seven days ago, but 0-23 over this trip and further. |
|||
(6)  (50/1 -150%)King Athelstan |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) King Athelstan 50/1, Course winner. 33/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at this course (12.1f) 29 days ago. Others more persuasive. Won over 1m4f here a year ago but form has regressed badly since; best watched. |
|||
(9)  (80/1 -142%)Northern Rose |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Northern Rose 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft, 25/1) 28 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Best to look elsewhere. Nothing in ten starts under both codes for four different trainers; tongue-tie on. |
|||
(8)  (100/1 -300%)Tiger Touch |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tiger Touch 100/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 11 in handicap (125/1) at this course (11.1f) 7 days ago. Up in trip and he looks set for another struggle. Little in 11 outings since arriving in this country; loads to prove up another 3f in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
SOCIALIST AGENDA looks worth another go at this trip, having kept on well for third over two furlongs shorter here last month. The form of that race has worked out well and he may be able to break his Flat duck, ahead of the likes of recent course winner Destinado and Young Endless, who has offered encouragement since joining the Sam Thomas team.
Despite some reservations regarding the suitability of this trip, DESTINADO has to be the call under a 5 lb penalty following his decisive victory here last week. Young Endless hasn't been with his present yard for long and a reproduction of his latest effort over 16.5f here would give him a chance, while Billy Bathgate and Socialist Agenda are also shortlisted.
The choice is YOUNG ENDLESS who has finished third behind thriving sorts in two of his three starts since joining this yard.

(1)  (6/4 +25%)Louisiana Bay |
6/4(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Louisiana Bay 6/4, Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (11/4) at Newcastle (12.4f) 17 days ago. Record stands at 0-10 but has been knocking on the door and she's high on the shortlist here. Ten-race maiden; more needed if she is to break her duck, though this isn't a strong race. |
|||
(3)  (5/2 -53%)Stolen Encounter |
5/2(-53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Stolen Encounter 5/2, Good second of 6 in handicap (6/5) at Chelmsford City (14f) 12 days ago. Low mileage for a 4-y-o and, unexposed over this trip, he should be bang there if responding well to the first-time blinkers. Runner-up the last twice and unexposed, but may face competition for the lead; blinkers on. |
|||
(2)  (5/1 +29%)Prince Abu |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Prince Abu 5/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 42 days ago, not ideally placed. Others make more appeal. Three-time winner who lurks on a dangerous mark, 9lb lower than when last successful. |
|||
(6)  (11/2 +0%)Midnight Shimmer |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Midnight Shimmer 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 11 days ago, well positioned. Live each-way chance. Lightly raced 6yo after five starts; ran well in two Wolverhampton handicaps; respected. |
|||
(4)  (22/1 -83%)Fandabidozi |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fandabidozi 22/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. 7/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 22 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Fourth on return to the Flat last month, but held nine days later; losing run up to 33. |
|||
(9)  (25/1 -150%)Reign Of Thunder |
25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Reign Of Thunder 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time/cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 40/1) 11 days ago. Place possibilities. Not sure what he achieved when second of four on handicap debut; still unexposed, though. |
|||
(8)  (33/1 -136%)Broctune Azure |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Broctune Azure 33/1, Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 50/1) 17 days ago but no more than an each-way squeak here. 0-8; shaped as though this sort of trip might suit last time. |
|||
(5)  (40/1 -100%)Sugarpiehoneybunch |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sugarpiehoneybunch 40/1, Ninth of 12 in minor event at this course (12.1f, 40/1) 29 days ago and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Won twice on soft ground last April but has lost her way since; still has stamina to prove. |
|||
(7)  (100/1 -203%)Buford |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Buford 100/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. 80/1, last of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 12 days ago, missing break. Readily passed over. 1-31 and poor in all three starts since returning in January; easily passed over. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Runner-up on his last two starts, including when favourite over this distance at Chelmsford last time out, STOLEN ENCOUNTER looks as though he is ready to get off the mark and this may well be the time. Louisiana Bay is open to improvement on the step up in trip, with Oisin Murphy back in the saddle. Midnight Shimmer hasn't gone badly since returning from a long absence in January and is another to consider.
A deserved first taste of success beckons for STOLEN ENCOUNTER, who has improved switched to handicaps with cheekpieces enlisted on his last three starts, most recently finishing a clear second upped to this trip at Chelmsford. The addition of more severe headgear could help eke out a little more from this lightly-raced 4-y-o. Louisiana Bay also deserves to get her head in front and she is feared most ahead of Midnight Shimmer.
It may be worth taking a chance with three-time course winner PRINCE ABU who has dropped to an inviting mark.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
