---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (11) (5/1 +23%) Flaine |
5/1(+23%) | (11) Flaine 5/1, Successful here (7f) in November on stable debut and has continued in good heart since, creditable third of 10 in nursery (11/4) at Chelmsford City (8f) 8 days ago. Merits consideration. Consistent since winning here last month, but looks to have nothing in hand of her mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/2 +53%) Mrbluesky |
7/2(+53%) | (6) Mrbluesky 7/2, Produced best effort so far when third of 7 in nursery (14/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 17 days ago, running on late. Could still have more to offer upped further in trip. Shaped as though the step up to 1m might suit when third last time; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/1 -14%) Tiempo Alegre |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Tiempo Alegre 4/1, Stepped up on her all-weather debut when getting off the mark in 10-runner nursery (7/2) at this course (7.1f) a week ago by short head from Kaleidoscope Eyes. Carries penalty but could be thereabouts once more. Just beat Kaleidoscope Eyes over 7f here a week ago; 6lb worse off but 1m may suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (3/1 +33%) Kaleidoscope Eyes |
3/1(+33%) | (12) Kaleidoscope Eyes 3/1, Back up in trip, best effort when short-head second of 10 to Tiempo Alegre in nursery (7/2) at this course (7.1f) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Races off the same mark and she's a leading contender with hood reapplied. Just pipped by Tiempo Alegre here a week ago; 6lb better off; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (25/1 -257%) Majestic Heights |
25/1(-257%) | (4) Majestic Heights 25/1, Found some improvement when opening his account in 14-runner nursery at Brighton (7f, good to soft, 15/2) 73 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort back up in trip for tapeta debut. Improved when winning a Brighton nursery in October; will need to maintain his progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (14/1 -17%) Africa Charm |
14/1(-17%) | (2) Africa Charm 14/1, Hinted at ability on her qualifying run when sixth of 8 in novice at Lingfield (8f, AW, 22/1) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort having raced freely. Improvement required as she goes handicapping. Little impact in three starts on Polytrack but bred to be better than that; nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (22/1 -175%) Precious Spartan |
22/1(-175%) | (9) Precious Spartan 22/1, In first-time visor, ran best race when neck second of 11 in nursery at Newcastle (8f, 10/1) 2 weeks ago, keeping on from rear. Could be in the mix. Beaten a neck at Newcastle a week ago, doing all his best work late; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (11/1 +45%) Kings Square |
11/1(+45%) | (10) Kings Square 11/1, Bit of promise at Newmarket on second start, but went backwards from that effort when ninth of 16 in maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good, 125/1) in August. Off 4 months ahead of handicap debut. Makes his nursery/AW debut after four months off having been gelded; needs to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (28/1 -75%) Paulie Two Lockers |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Paulie Two Lockers 28/1, Modest maiden. Has fared a bit better in cheekpieces last 2 starts, 2 lengths fifth of 11 in nursery (33/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 18 days ago. More needed though if he's to get off the mark. This trip might suit him but others still look more compelling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (22/1 -57%) Fiery Angel |
22/1(-57%) | (8) Fiery Angel 22/1, Making second start in a nursery, bounced back to form when 3½ lengths third of 10 to Tiempo Alegre at this course (7.1f, 66/1) 7 days ago. Stamina on dam's side of pedigree as she goes up in trip. Met plenty of trouble when third behind two of these here a week ago; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (80/1 -400%) Cheater |
80/1(-400%) | (3) Cheater 80/1, Mid-field on debut but hasn't progressed from that effort in 2 starts since, eighth of 9 in novice (100/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for as she makes handicap debut. Out of the frame in three starts but open to progress on nursery debut; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (14/1 +58%) Aiyana Rose |
14/1(+58%) | (5) Aiyana Rose 14/1, Offered little in a trio of maidens and again finished well held when last of 16 in nursery at Gowran (7f, heavy, 25/1) 60 days ago. Makes all-weather debut on first run for yard after leaving John S. O'Donoghue. Out the back in four starts on turf; worth monitoring in the market on stable/AW debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
TIEMPO ALEGRE needed every yard of the trip when she edged out Kaleidoscope Eyes over 7f here last week and with the additional furlong considered a likely source of progression, the Jack Jones-trained filly can cement her authority over the runner-up under a 6lb penalty. Precious Spartan has experience over this trip and is a serious threat after a near-miss at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Majestic Heights, a 7f winner at Brighton most recently, is respected off 6lb higher on his Tapeta debut.
KALEIDOSCOPE EYES was suited by the return to a longer trip when runner-up at this course a week ago, collared close home having looked the likely winner for much of the straight, and she can reverse the placings with Tiempo Alegre who has to carry a penalty for that success. Flaine has been going well for her current yard and completes the shortlist.
A 6lb pull should be enough for KALEIDOSCOPE EYES to reverse last week's course running with Tiempre Alegre.

1st (9) (20/1 -43%) Alyara |
20/1(-43%) | (9) Alyara 20/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford 78 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John & Rhys Flint. Cheekpieces back on. Just 2-40, though finished a close third at Chelmsford last time; stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (15/2 +6%) Urban Dandy |
15/2(+6%) | (2) Urban Dandy 15/2, Course winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. Visored first time, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 11/2) 43 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Course record reads 17532232; has never attempted this far before but worth a go at it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (8/1 +76%) Masham Moor |
8/1(+76%) | (10) Masham Moor 8/1, C&D winner. 66/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 11 days ago. Two of his three wins have come over C&D, the latest from 2lb higher; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (15/8 +63%) Tenyatta |
15/8(+63%) | (11) Tenyatta 15/8, 12/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 6 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Went close over 7f here prior to that. Needs considering for good stable. Only beaten a neck here last month, but out of the frame in all six starts over 1m-plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 -9%) Bobby Dassler |
12/1(-9%) | (6) Bobby Dassler 12/1, One win from 27 starts. Last of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Newcastle (1m) 45 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Bounce back needed. 1-27; ran well in first two starts for yard but took a step backwards last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (22/1 -214%) Mr Heinz |
22/1(-214%) | (7) Mr Heinz 22/1, Latest win at Newcastle in September. 7/2, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 45 days ago. Visor back on. All 11 AW starts have come at Newcastle; capable of playing a part if this venue suits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (50/1 -150%) Annalee Lass |
50/1(-150%) | (8) Annalee Lass 50/1, Won twice in spring 2023 but off since a below-par run at Wolverhampton last December. A watching brief has to be the percentage call unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Showed some good form on Tapeta in 2023, but has something to prove after a year off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (16/1 -129%) Mr Trick |
16/1(-129%) | (4) Mr Trick 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, caught too far back when seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 17 days ago and better judged on his 2 placed efforts prior to that. Player. Just 3-47 over a variety of trips, but he is on a fair mark these days; could figure. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (7/2 +22%) Northern Cracksman |
7/2(+22%) | (3) Northern Cracksman 7/2, Good second of 11 in C&D handicap 7 days ago, not ideally placed. Another prominent showing is likely if showing up in the same form. 0-12, but ran well when second of 11 over C&D a week ago; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (22/1 +33%) Van Zant |
22/1(+33%) | (12) Van Zant 22/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 33/1) 39 days ago. Running well here earlier in year including a C&D win, but recent efforts not so good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (15/2 -125%) Fitz Perfectly |
15/2(-125%) | (1) Fitz Perfectly 15/2, In good form for this yard, gaining a first career success in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago. Had the run of that race from the front but still respected under a 5 lb penalty. Off the mark at the 20th attempt last time; drop back in trip may suit; high on list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (125/1 -279%) Vanity Pays |
125/1(-279%) | (5) Vanity Pays 125/1, Remains a maiden after 20 starts. 28/1, tenth of 11 over C&D 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others preferred again. 0-20 and finished a fair way behind Northern Cracksman over C&D a week ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A 5lb penalty imposed for an all-the-way Wolverhampton success might not be enough to prevent FITZ PERFECTLY from registering a quickfire double. A handy draw on the inside is an added bonus for the Danny Brooke-trained filly, whose improved form since joining the yard has been notable. Northern Cracksman and Urban Dandy are suggested as the two main dangers to the selection, although Tapeta winner Mr Heinz is not ruled out in this company.
If TENYATTA can recapture the form she showed when narrowly denied on her previous course visit she might prove the answer to the first division of this 1m handicap. Mr Trick could have fared better with the draw but looks fairly treated on the form he showed when placed twice last month. Northern Craftsman is also shortlisted along with recent Wolverhampton scorer Fitz Perfectly.
The vote goes to MASHAM MOOR who has dropped 2lb lower than when gaining his second C&D success back in April.

1st (3) (7/1 +72%) Naughty Niall |
7/1(+72%) | (3) Naughty Niall 7/1, Showed ability in maidens earlier in the year but has struggled badly in his 4 handicaps. Has completely blown out since handicapping; return to Tapeta may help but risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3/1 +25%) Charlatan |
3/1(+25%) | (4) Charlatan 3/1, Completed an AW hat-trick earlier in the year. Not at best in recent starts but beginning to look well treated again and Taryn Langley take an additional 7 lb off. Could bounce back. Completed an AW hat-trick at the start of the year; just 1lb above his last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (28/1 -250%) Tres Chic |
28/1(-250%) | (11) Tres Chic 28/1, Dual 7f winner on turf over the summer. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Bath (5.7f, soft) 50 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. 3lb below last winning mark, but unplaced in all seven starts on the AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (22/1 -57%) Mr Slicker |
22/1(-57%) | (9) Mr Slicker 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 66/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (7f) 32 days ago. Eight wins on the AW in France; third here last time but he needs to build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (5/1 -11%) Ajrad |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Ajrad 5/1, Latest win at Chepstow in September. 10/3, unseated rider in handicap at this course (7f) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can make presence felt. Still to prove he is as effective on Tapeta as he is on Polytrack. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (7/2 +36%) Elettaria |
7/2(+36%) | (7) Elettaria 7/2, Good third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m, 15/2) 45 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Has run well since returning to Tapeta in October, finishing a close third last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (5/1 +38%) Available Angel |
5/1(+38%) | (12) Available Angel 5/1, 12/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f) 32 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Can give a good account. Has twice run well since returned to Tapeta last month; each-way claims again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (16/1 -100%) Ciara Storm |
16/1(-100%) | (5) Ciara Storm 16/1, 28/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 39 days ago. 0-12 but not disgraced the last twice and form of her latest start is working out well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (16/1 +52%) Dark Side Premier |
16/1(+52%) | (8) Dark Side Premier 16/1, Well held in 3 novices at Newcastle last winter. Off for 11 months ahead of this handicap debut with a tongue tie added. Could only consider if backed. Makes his handicap debut after 11 months off; not quite sure what to expect; tongue-tie on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (28/1 +15%) Gimcrack Warrior |
28/1(+15%) | (10) Gimcrack Warrior 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, 50/1) 32 days ago. Improvement needed. Not shown much in his five starts so far; makes little appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (50/1 -52%) Ravenswing |
50/1(-52%) | (1) Ravenswing 50/1, 125/1, first run since leaving Archie Watson when tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) on return from long absence 28 days ago. Tailed off on stable debut at Newcastle four weeks ago; hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (33/1 -136%) Break Point |
33/1(-136%) | (2) Break Point 33/1, Showed ability at the start of his career but down the field on all 4 starts for current yard. Hasn't finished within 12l of the winner in five starts for this yard; look elsewhere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ELETTARIA wasn't beaten far over this trip at Newcastle last month and may be able to make the most of a potentially competitive mark given she sits on a rating 2lb below her only previous winning figure on the all-weather. From 2lb below her last (turf) handicap success, Available Angel also appeals and has to be worth another try over this distance after performing with credit over 7f here and at Wolverhampton. Ajrad and Ciara Storm complete the shortlist.
It might be worth chancing CHARLATAN to bounce back to form from his reduced mark. Ajrad, Elettaria and Available Angel head the dangers.
It may be worth taking a chance with the maiden CIARA STORM. The form of her latest fifth at Wolverhampton has worked out well.

1st (4) (7/1 -17%) Brooklyn Nine Nine |
7/1(-17%) | (4) Brooklyn Nine Nine 7/1, AW winner. 10/3, remote third of 4 in handicap at Leicester (5f, heavy) 53 days ago. Bounce back needed returned to AW. Tale of woe for his backers in handicaps but the ability is there if the cards fall right. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/3 +33%) Bedford Flyer |
10/3(+33%) | (1) Bedford Flyer 10/3, C&D winner. 8/1, respectable fourth of 9 in C&D handicap 10 days ago, faring best of those held up. Cheekpieces back on. C&D winner; went hard early here 10 days ago & tired in the final furlong; bold bid likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/2 +47%) Acklam Express |
9/2(+47%) | (6) Acklam Express 9/2, Latest win at Salisbury in June. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f, 11/1) 11 days ago, keeping on from rear after missing break. Cheekpieces on first time. Capable of getting involved. Fair efforts the last twice; new cheekpieces could spark extra but they need to. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (28/1 -180%) Al Farabi |
28/1(-180%) | (5) Al Farabi 28/1, AW winner. 33/1 and tongue strap on first time, first run since leaving Roger Varian when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June. Off 6 since. Would need to see market support to consider. Of interest on form for R Varian but off since a poor stable debut in June; 5f a query too. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/2 +9%) Ziggy's Missile |
5/2(+9%) | (2) Ziggy's Missile 5/2, Three AW wins in February/March, the last over C&D. Back to best when second of 10 in handicap (5/2) at Wolverhampton (5f) 27 days ago. Leading claims. Progressive last winter; promising 2nd on return last month; still relatively low mileage. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (10/3 +26%) Sugar Hill Babe |
10/3(+26%) | (7) Sugar Hill Babe 10/3, On a C&D hat-trick after wins in October and November. Likely to give another good account. Up in class in bid for C&D hat-trick but she's improving all the time and can't be ignored. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (10/1 +60%) Be Frank |
10/1(+60%) | (8) Be Frank 10/1, Bit below form eighth of 18 in handicap (6/1) at York (7f, soft) 70 days ago. Down in trip with cheekpieces back on. Should be winning races off this mark but a bit to prove dropped to 5f for the first time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (50/1 -150%) The Fixer |
50/1(-150%) | (3) The Fixer 50/1, Useful at his best. Better effort since coming from France when fifth of 9 in C&D handicap 10 days ago but need to see more before lending support. Yet to shine in two runs for new yard; due to be 3lb lower from the weekend; opposable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Sugar Hill Babe bids for a hat-trick of C&D wins, but faces a tougher assignment in this higher grade and raised a further 4lb. Ziggy's Missile reappeared after a layoff with a solid effort at Wolverhampton and merits consideration, although BEDFORD FLYER makes most appeal. Mick Appleby's sprinter led for a lot of the way over track and trip on his return from a short break and is fancied to make a bold bid in this lower grade with that outing under his belt.
ZIGGY'S MISSILE is taken to build on a good second at Wolverhampton now back at the scene of his last 2 wins. Sugar Hill Babe is bidding for a hat-trick over this C&D and is feared most ahead of Acklam Express.
This is a step up in class for SUGAR HILL BABE but this progressive sprinter can take it in her stride. Bedford Flyer is next best.

1st (2) (20/1 -186%) Captain Kinsella |
20/1(-186%) | (2) Captain Kinsella 20/1, Has shown improved form last 2 starts, battling well to get off the mark in 9-runner novice (25/1) at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago. Can give another good account now that he's up and running. Improving; made all at Newcastle 11 days ago; shouldn't be underestimated under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6/4 +77%) Backspin |
6/4(+77%) | (3) Backspin 6/4, Some encouragement amidst his inexperience when ninth of 12 in novice at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 8/1) on debut, finishing with running left having been very slowly away. Capable of better after 6 months off. Never competitive after meeting early trouble on Sandown debut; watch market on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/2 +0%) Blinky |
7/2(+0%) | (1) Blinky 7/2, Without a win in nurseries, but after 12 weeks off shaped better than result when sixth of 9 (4/1) at Kempton (6f) 16 days ago, caught wide. Respected with his recent run behind him. Turf winner; looks vulnerable under his penalty back in a novice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (16/1 +27%) Coul Angel |
16/1(+27%) | (4) Coul Angel 16/1, Foaled April 5. 65,000 gns yearling, Coulsty colt. Brother to useful 5f/6f winner Coulthard and half-brother to 5f winner Mna Na Mhi. Dam unraced. Watch for market clues. Something to like on breeding but stable has few 2yo winners first time out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 -200%) Hello Zaman |
12/1(-200%) | (6) Hello Zaman 12/1, Foaled March 5. 40,000 gns yearling, Hello Youmzain colt. Dam, 5f winner (including at 2 yrs), out of once-raced half-sister to smart 8.6f-1¼m winner Gulf Express. One to note on debut. Stable does have 2yo winners first time and worth a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (18/1 -200%) Cemlyn |
18/1(-200%) | (9) Cemlyn 18/1, Made some appeal on paper and showed promise when fourth of 7 in maiden (6/1) at Newcastle (6f) on debut 27 days ago. Enters calculations with improvement to come. Not beaten far when fourth over 6f on Newcastle debut, but form not working out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (5/2 +17%) Farandaway |
5/2(+17%) | (5) Farandaway 5/2, Back on all-weather, took a step forward making nursery debut when second of 12 at this C&D (8/1) a week ago. Could be ready to go one better. Runner-up in all four starts including over C&D a week ago; likely to be right there again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (250/1 -150%) Writteninthestars |
250/1(-150%) | (7) Writteninthestars 250/1, Hasn't offered much in a pair of maidens 6 months apart, well-beaten eighth of 10 at this C&D (33/1) 48 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Well held in both starts 175 days apart; handicaps an option after this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (80/1 -344%) Highfield Blue |
80/1(-344%) | (10) Highfield Blue 80/1, Down the field on debut and fared no better after 6 months off when last of 4 in novice at Nottingham (5f, soft, 7/4) 44 days ago. Major improvement required. Held in both starts, but likely she is capable of better; sire has a fine record here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (250/1 -150%) Runnindown A Dream |
250/1(-150%) | (11) Runnindown A Dream 250/1, Foaled April 4. £3,500 yearling, Havana Gold filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 15f Hockney. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut. Would be a rare winning 2yo newcomer from the yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FARANDAWAY looks to have solid claims back in novice company. Grant Tuer's charge found only one too strong in a nursery here last week and he should have the beating of Captain Kinsella on these terms. The latter is penalised for winning at Newcastle but might have more to offer, while Cemlyn showed plenty of early pace when fourth over 6f on debut and this shorter trip will suit. Coul Angel and Hello Zaman are newcomers to note.
FARANDAWAY has finished runner-up all 4 starts, but he showed improved form when beaten only by a fellow nursery debutant at this C&D a week ago, so he is taken to open his account this time around. Blinky wasn't seen to best effect after a break last time and could be the main danger, while Cemlyn is open to improvement after her promising debut.
The choice is CAPTAIN KINSELLA who has proved a different horse since being gelded and switching to AW. He could prove hard to catch.

1st (6) (14/1 +0%) Wiltshire Wonder |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Wiltshire Wonder 14/1, Fair bumper winner and improved when winning 9-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f) in October. Not in same form when sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 8/1) 51 days ago, weakening from 2f out. Got off the mark in this sphere over C&D in October from a 4lb lower mark.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/4 +42%) Kitty Furnival |
7/4(+42%) | (2) Kitty Furnival 7/4, Off the mark at Kempton (11f) in October and found further improvement when following up in 8-runner Wolverhampton handicap (7/4) over 1m4f. Didn't get a clean passage but ran at least as well with third of 11 at same venue, racing keenly and running on late (hung left). Respected. Won twice and then met trouble when dead-heating for third at Wolverhampton last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (14/1 -40%) Destinado |
14/1(-40%) | (9) Destinado 14/1, Can be slowly away. Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (13f, 10/1) in November. Held his form when back up in trip (fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f) 17 days ago, finishing well from off the pace having dwelt at start. Notoriously slow starter but has gained three of his nine wins at this track.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (12/1 -9%) Dunstan |
12/1(-9%) | (4) Dunstan 12/1, Won 4 AW races equipped to start 2024 for Barry Brennan. Lacklustre efforts both starts for Tom Dascombe but improved on moderate first effort for this yard when fourth of 6 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good to soft), having been slowly away and raced keenly. C&D winner returns from 138-day break. Won four in a row on Tapeta in early part of this year; returns to AW after a break.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (16/1 -33%) Woodstock City |
16/1(-33%) | (5) Woodstock City 16/1, 25/1 Winner at Ripon in August. Good third of 8 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft, 10/3) in November, Ran respectably back on the AW when fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 8 days ago, fading late on. Not disgraced back on AW when fifth of eight at Newcastle eight days ago; not out of this.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (15/8 +6%) Sectarius |
15/8(+6%) | (8) Sectarius 15/8, 1 win from 4 runs this year. First run since leaving P. J. F. Murphy when 16/5, won 8-runner handicap over 12.4f at Newcastle, overcoming pace bias. Travelled strongly when a good second over same C&D, following a 66-day break. Still unexposed over middle distances, especially in a truly run race. Won on stable debut at Newcastle in October off 5lb lower and finished second last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (40/1 -43%) Pleasant Man |
40/1(-43%) | (3) Pleasant Man 40/1, 80/1, last of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good) in July. Ran okay on first run for this yard (fifth of 7 in handicap at this course over 14.1f, 38 days ago) after leaving Jack Jones (for 7,000 gns). Could build on that. Not disgraced despite racing freely when fifth of seven at this track last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (13/2 -8%) No Surrender |
13/2(-8%) | (7) No Surrender 13/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (10f, AW) in November, running on. Back up in trip and capable of being in the mix here. Knocking on the door recently, latest when second of nine at Lingfield last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (150/1 -650%) Time Interval |
150/1(-650%) | (1) Time Interval 150/1, Scored at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) in May. Disappointed at Newbury later that month but has run into form over hurdles, winning 14-runner novice hurdle (15/2) at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft). Off 7 months but has run well fresh and is interesting up in trip on tapeta debut. Won four times on the Flat but unraced in this sphere since May 2023.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SECTARIUS won at Newcastle before just missing out at the same venue. Due to be raised 4lb for that latest effort, Ed Bethell's charge can take advantage and resume winning ways. Kitty Furnival finished a creditable third when on a hat-trick at Wolverhampton, despite being hampered, and can feature in the finish once again. Dunstan has won four times on Tapeta and is entitled to respect off his current mark, having been gelded since last in action.
The strong-travelling SECTARIUS has performed admirably for new connections, winning on stable debut and following up with an excellent second when asked to make ground from a long way back. Those efforts make him a leading player. The consistent Kitty Furnival is respected, and can give the selection most to think about, while No Surrender looks worth another try back up in trip.
Preference is for SECTARIUS who has shown improvement since stepping up in trip for his new yard. Kitty Furnival is feared most.

1st (12) (28/1 +15%) Busby |
28/1(+15%) | (12) Busby 28/1, Twenty-one runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, ran poorly when tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) a couple of months ago. Back up in trip. Visor on 1st time. Prolific AW winner but he's been out of sorts in last four runs; new headgear now tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (5/6 +56%) Come On John |
5/6(+56%) | (9) Come On John 5/6, Course winner, latest here in October. 5/6, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 4 days ago, headed final 1f. Back up in trip. Thriving at present so expected to be bang there back under a top apprentice. Had near miss off this mark at Wolverhampton on Monday; major player again back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (18/1 -13%) Sisterandbrother |
18/1(-13%) | (2) Sisterandbrother 18/1, Wasn't disgraced on first outing since leaving Kevin Frost after 8 weeks off when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 14/1) 18 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter for that here. Not easy to predict and was quiet on his stable debut at Wolverhampton; others are safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (33/1 -32%) Ricardo Phillips |
33/1(-32%) | (11) Ricardo Phillips 33/1, Ran as well as could've been expected when fifth of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 22/1) 39 days ago. Up in trip. Well held in all of his six starts and not sure this new trip will suit; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (22/1 -144%) Brividi |
22/1(-144%) | (7) Brividi 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, showed more than previously when third of 6 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 37 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Down in trip. Unexposed 3yo but she needs improvement on this big drop back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (9/2 +10%) Fiftyshadesaresdev |
9/2(+10%) | (8) Fiftyshadesaresdev 9/2, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 37 days ago, collared final 50 yds. Solid each-way claims but others obviously more appeal from a win perspective. 0-28 but he's been knocking on the door on Tapeta this autumn; should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (8/1 +0%) Kojin |
8/1(+0%) | (3) Kojin 8/1, 13/2, run best excused when fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 37 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Back down in trip. Had an excuse at 2m last time and was in good form on Tapeta before that; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (33/1 -175%) Carlos Felix |
33/1(-175%) | (1) Carlos Felix 33/1, C&D winner. 16/1, never threatened after 5 months off when ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 4 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on. Below last winning mark but needs to show more. Won at Newcastle last November but he's been out of sorts since then; lots to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (20/1 -100%) Zousca |
20/1(-100%) | (10) Zousca 20/1, Got going much too late when sixth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 29 days ago. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving David Loughnane. Not taken lightly. Inconsistent seven-race maiden who has something to prove at new trip for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (13/2 -8%) Opticality |
13/2(-8%) | (6) Opticality 13/2, Course winner. Again ran well when 1¼ lengths second of 9 to Come On John in handicap at this course (11.1f, 16/1) 50 days ago. Enters calculations. Runner-up on Tapeta in both runs for new yard this autumn and she's a key player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A comfortable winner here in October, and placed twice since at Wolverhampton, COME ON JOHN narrowly sets the standard on recent form and he can notch up a sixth career success. That may be at the main expense of Fiftyshadesaresdev, who has been runner-up on three of his last four starts, including twice here. Kojin is another to consider, as are Opticality and Zousca.
Cases can be made for several, but the vote goes to COME ON JOHN, who has made a fine start for current connections and went down by just a head at Wolverhampton on Monday. Zousca got going much too late last month and having switched yards since, she could give the selection most to think about. Opticality and Fiftyshadesaresdev can fight out minor honours.
Top of the list is COME ON JOHN, who won here in October and had a near miss off today's mark at Wolverhampton on Monday.

1st (1) (17/2 +15%) Grabajabba |
17/2(+15%) | (1) Grabajabba 17/2, Fourth of 10 in novice (7/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 11 days ago, left poorly placed. May well do better. Some late headway at Wolverhampton 11 days ago but he needs plenty of progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (7/4 +30%) Tarqeez |
7/4(+30%) | (9) Tarqeez 7/4, 6/1 and hooded, seventh of 10 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to soft) on debut. Off 8 months but can't be discounted. Ran green on Newbury debut in April and could show a lot more on her return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (3/1 +14%) Picturesque |
3/1(+14%) | (8) Picturesque 3/1, Night of Thunder filly. Dam, 6f/7f winner, half-sister to smart 7f winner Molatham. Interesting newcomer for top yard. Well-bred filly and yard is 45% with 3yos here this year; interesting newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (85/40 +47%) Dark Lyric |
85/40(+47%) | (6) Dark Lyric 85/40, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, creditable third of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 27 days ago, having run of race. Well in the mix. Sets a fair standard on her second over C&D in October and she's respected back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (16/1 -14%) Jungle Cruise |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Jungle Cruise 16/1, 9,000 gns yearling, Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Half-brother to 9f winners Tallien and Dashing Topper. Dam unraced sister to useful 7f winner Montecchio. Market can guide. Has good standard to aim at on debut and is best watched from wide draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (28/1 +15%) Mr Withington |
28/1(+15%) | (4) Mr Withington 28/1, Recorder gelding. Dam unraced. Wears hood. Already been gelded and looks opposable with hood applied on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (66/1 -230%) Tresca |
66/1(-230%) | (10) Tresca 66/1, Iffraaj filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Bhubezi. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 1m winner). Wears hood. Betting can prove a good indicator. Half-sister to a 6f-1m winner; hood is applied on debut and others are preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (150/1 -355%) Marioento |
150/1(-355%) | (3) Marioento 150/1, Eighth of 10 in novice (22/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 11 days ago. Needs to take a sizeable step forward. Made low-key start at a biggish price over C&D (eighth of ten) 11 days ago; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (200/1 -300%) Darlo Lady |
200/1(-300%) | (7) Darlo Lady 200/1, Seventh of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 40/1) on debut 11 days ago. Needs to build on it. Didn't a show a great deal over C&D on recent debut and she's probably one for later on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Out of a Listed winner and from the family of Group 3 scorer Molatham, PICTURESQUE is an interesting newcomer for prestigious owners. The form of the Gosden stable is another big plus and she is narrowly preferred to Chelmsford debut winner Muddy Mooy, who has since switched yards and has a 5lb penalty to carry. A consistent sort without getting her head in front, Dark Lyric is capable of being in the shake-up as well.
The betting should reveal plenty here but the Gosdens' Night Of Thunder newcomer PICTURESQUE is taken to go in at the first time of asking ahead of Roger Varian's returning Tarqeez who could have more to offer after an absence. Dark Lyric and Grabajabba appeal as the pick of the rest and also need factoring into this open-looking novice.
The vote goes to newcomer PICTURESQUE, who has a striking pedigree and represents a yard with a 45% record with 3yos here this year.

1st (1) (10/1 +29%) Nibiru |
10/1(+29%) | (1) Nibiru 10/1, Temperamental sort but did land a Dundalk claimer in October. Stayed on for fourth in a course handicap on his stable debut 25 days later but well beaten over hurdles since. 9yo who is not easy to predict and was well held over hurdles latest; risks attached. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/1 +8%) Wickywickywheels |
11/1(+8%) | (4) Wickywickywheels 11/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, second of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (2m) 45 days ago. Unexposed on AW and was a creditable second over 2m at Newcastle latest; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/3 +83%) Tradesman |
10/3(+83%) | (5) Tradesman 10/3, 16/1, 15¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Dashing Panther in handicap at Chelmsford 15 days ago. Work on to turn the tables with that rival. Four-time AW winner but he needs to get back near best to feature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/2 -10%) Emaculate Soldier |
11/2(-10%) | (3) Emaculate Soldier 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Runner-up in a pair of 1½m course novices in the spring. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Simon & Ed Crisford. Joined another good stable and respected as an unexposed handicap newcomer. Second in two novice events here in the spring; needs close look on handicap/stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (13/8 +46%) Little Peter |
13/8(+46%) | (7) Little Peter 13/8, Winner at Newcastle in (2m) October. 3/1, good second of 8 at Wolverhampton (2m again) since, clear of rest. Expected to be bang there from the same mark. Won at Newcastle before chasing home a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/2 +63%) Abraaj |
9/2(+63%) | (6) Abraaj 9/2, Three wins from 10 runs this year, the latest at Kempton (2m) in June. Last of 13 there when last seen in September but his overall AW record is very solid. Lots of good runs this year but his form slumped last time and he needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (50/1 -25%) Unique Spirit |
50/1(-25%) | (8) Unique Spirit 50/1, Winner at Newcastle (2m) in October. First run since leaving David O'Meara when seventh of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (12.5f) 11 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Had an excuse over 1m4f on stable debut and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DASHING PANTHER continues to go from strength to strength and stepping up further in trip may bring about more improvement as he bids to land the hat-trick. An 8lb rise for his most recent success looks manageable and he may have too much for the unexposed Emaculate Soldier, who makes his handicap debut for new connections after occupying the runner-up berth over 1m4f here twice earlier in the year. A respectable second at Wolverhampton when attempting to supplement a Newcastle success, Little Peter cannot be ruled out either.
The handicapper may have been lenient leaving LITTLE PETER's mark unchanged given he pulled a long way clear of the third at Newcastle and he's taken to deny Dashing Panther the hat-trick. Emaculate Soldier is an unexposed handicap newcomer who would also enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are positive on this first outing for Archie Watson.
Preference is for DASHING PANTHER (nap), who has won at Chelmsford in his last two runs and is open to further progress upped to 2m.

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.
