1st (4) (33/1 -50%) Miss Havre |
33/1(-50%) | (4) Miss Havre 33/1, 90,000 gns foal, Le Havre filly. Half-sister to useful 6.5f-9f winner Fonthill Abbey and 1m winner Blondynka Mnm. Dam, unraced, closely related to high-class 2-y-o 7f winner Teofilo, out of smart 1m winner Speirbhean. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5.5/1 +15%) Anjo Bonita |
5.5/1(+15%) | (2) Anjo Bonita 5.5/1, Fair form when placed 4 times at up to 1m as a juvenile. Failed to meet expectations at Thirsk on return but might have needed it and player on best form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (5.5/1 +45%) Tarraff |
5.5/1(+45%) | (7) Tarraff 5.5/1, Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to 7f/1m winner Kaasirr. Dam, 2-y-o 6f-1m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Yattwee. Wears tongue strap. Yard has excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so she must be respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (12/1 +25%) Rosa Chinensis |
12/1(+25%) | (6) Rosa Chinensis 12/1, Oasis Dream filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Madame Chiang and useful 1m/8.3f winner Oriental Scot. Dam useful 1¼m-11.6f winner who stayed 1¾m. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (0.44/1 -10%) Rainbow Sky |
0.44/1(-10%) | (1) Rainbow Sky 0.44/1, 1,500,000 gns Sea The Stars filly who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Kempton in November, leading well inside final 1f. Not seen to best effect in a useful event there on return 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat under a penalty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (33/1 -175%) Cracked Up |
33/1(-175%) | (3) Cracked Up 33/1, Cracksman filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Sense of Humour and 2-y-o 1m winner Kings Joy. Dam lightly raced half-sister to 2000 Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand and smart 1m winner Belle d'Or, out of useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Glatisant. Wears hood. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (150/1 -50%) Ms Greer |
150/1(-50%) | (5) Ms Greer 150/1, Bobby's Kitten filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 6f winner Glass Office. Well held in novice events at Lingfield/Yarmouth. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, 0.4/1 (1) RAINBOW SKY is the most likely to do well as she has already won a race and was not seen to her best effect in her last race due to the competition. Other horses like 12/1 (3) CRACKED UP and 10/1 (7) TARRAFF also have potential, but there is not enough information to confidently predict their performance.
RAINBOW SKY was well held in conditions company at Kempton last time but she made a big impression on her debut at the same track. Bred to get further, this trip looks right up her street and she can get the better of Anjo Bonita, who ran a promising race on her return at Thirsk earlier in the month. Tarraff looks the pick of the newcomers for a team who can ready one first time out.
A good opportunity for RAINBOW SKY to resume winning ways having not been seen to best effect in a useful event at Kempton on return. Simon & Ed Crisford have an excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so Tarraff may emerge as the biggest threat, with Anjo Bonita needing to shrug off a below-par reappearance.
Well-bred filly RAINBOW SKY probably has considerable latent ability and can collect this prize before moving on to bigger targets.

1st (4) (2.75/1 -22%) Golden Maverick |
2.75/1(-22%) | (4) Golden Maverick 2.75/1, Suited by the step up to 1m when making a promising start to his handicap career at Southwell 16 days ago, finishing well from further back than ideal. Open to further progress and leading claims under Buick. Came from well off the pace to be third at Southwell and can improve again.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.75/1 +8%) Obama Army |
2.75/1(+8%) | (1) Obama Army 2.75/1, Fair maiden. Good second of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Nottingham (1¼m, soft) 8 days ago. Back down in trip. Likely to go well. Improved the last twice and handled the softish ground fine at Nottingham latest.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/1 +90%) Brabusach |
10/1(+90%) | (2) Brabusach 10/1, Modest form. Hooded and tongue tied first time, never involved on 7f Wolverhampton handicap debut last month. Headgear off. Steps up to 1m and tackles turf for the first time now. Has gone backwards since a fairly decent debut on the AW last October; debut on grass.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (3.5/1 -56%) Angel De Luz |
3.5/1(-56%) | (10) Angel De Luz 3.5/1, Beaten a long way in 3 outings for George Boughey last autumn. Has switched yards (same owner) ahead of this handicap debut/reappearance. Worth keeping an eye on in the betting. Didn't show much in these colours when trained by George Boughey, from 7f to 1m.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 +76%) Ribkana |
16/1(+76%) | (7) Ribkana 16/1, Poor form at 2, including in handicaps. Improvement will be needed back from 7 months off. 0-5 and never improved for nurseries but this softer ground may help.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (28/1 +72%) Carmentis |
28/1(+72%) | (9) Carmentis 28/1, Poor form, faring no better for cheekpieces at Newcastle (7f) 47 days ago. Yard going well but still hard to fancy. Not that competitive in any of her six runs and has much to prove.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (16/1 +36%) Seraphia |
16/1(+36%) | (6) Seraphia 16/1, Didn't show much in 3 outings over 7f/1m last autumn but could prove a different proposition in handicaps. One to note in the betting. Quiet last season (6f/7f) but has a good pedigree and may improve as a 3yo handicapper.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (7.5/1 -67%) H Key Lails |
7.5/1(-67%) | (5) H Key Lails 7.5/1, Winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March and backed that up when narrowly denied at Southwell (1m) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt. Competitive of late on the AW and obvious contender if handling the conditions.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (40/1 -82%) Havanawing |
40/1(-82%) | (8) Havanawing 40/1, Down the field in 3 outings over 6f last summer. Steps up in trip for this handicap debut from a basement mark. Betting should guide. Quiet in her three qualifying runs over 6f and there's plenty of speed in her pedigree.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (50/1 -25%) Lough Swilly Lass |
50/1(-25%) | (3) Lough Swilly Lass 50/1, Well held in 3 runs on turf in Ireland last year and fared no better on 6f Newcastle handicap debut for new yard 8 weeks ago. Still early days but this longer trip needs to spark improvement. Modest Irish form and beat only one home on British/handicap debut over 6f on the AW.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the information provided, the horse with the most promising chance of doing well is 3/1 (1) OBAMA ARMY. They have shown improvement in their last few races and have handled the ground conditions well. They also have a good recent performance in a handicap race and are back down in trip, which could work in their favor. The other horses either have poor past form or lack experience, making 3/1 (1) OBAMA ARMY the strongest contender.
Denied by the narrowest of margins on his most recent start at Nottingham, OBAMA ARMY can gain compensation down in trip despite a 3lb rise. Jack Channon's charge was behind both H Key Lails (second) and Golden Maverick (third) at Southwell earlier in the month, but he is taken to triumph on this occasion. Seraphia could be on a decent mark as well on her handicap debut.
This looks a good opportunity for GOLDEN MAVERICK to build on an encouraging handicap debut second at Southwell. Obama Army and H Key Lails are the obvious threats unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding one of the handicap newcomers.
Jack Channon's OBAMA ARMY just missed out at Nottingham last time and his proven ability on softish ground is a big selling point.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (3.2/1 -7%) Mahanakhon |
3.2/1(-7%) | (3) Mahanakhon 3.2/1, Placed all 3 starts last year, running to a fairly useful level when runner-up at Hamilton on his second outing. Shaped as if needing run after 11 months off (gelded) when fourth in minor event at Redcar (1m, soft) 20 days ago, so could fare better this time. Not at best on seasonal debut but the ground was soft; contender on last spring's form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (1.75/1 -27%) Westernesse |
1.75/1(-27%) | (5) Westernesse 1.75/1, Placed on last 4 starts in 2022, again running creditably (in first-time cheekpieces) when third of 16 in maiden at Listowel (1m good to soft) in September. Can get off the mark on first run for yard after leaving Dermot Weld. Fairly useful form when placed four times in Ireland last year; stable debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5.5/1 +35%) Trueman |
5.5/1(+35%) | (4) Trueman 5.5/1, Made appeal on paper, but easy to back (10/1) when finishing sixth of 10 in maiden at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) on debut. Off 12 months (gelded) ahead of first run for yard after leaving William Haggas. Should improve at some point. Not seen since underwhelming debut for William Haggas a year ago; market may point the way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (2.25/1 +0%) Cresta De Vega |
2.25/1(+0%) | (2) Cresta De Vega 2.25/1, After 15 months off (gelded), ran best race when second in minor event at Lingfield (7f) in January. Failed to meet expectations when fifth in handicap at the same course (1m3f) the following month, but could still have more to offer back down in trip. Didn't see out 1m2f on handicap debut but went close in 7f novice two starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (80/1 -60%) Flash Bulb |
80/1(-60%) | (6) Flash Bulb 80/1, Maiden on the Flat (leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien after third start) and has offered little in a pair of novice hurdles this year, having a wind op prior to latest outing. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on first time as she switches back to the level. Placed in Ireland last year but disappointing on Flat and over hurdles for current stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (80/1 +0%) Blame The Farrier |
80/1(+0%) | (1) Blame The Farrier 80/1, Modest form in bumpers and little impact in maiden/handicap hurdles. No impression on his Flat debut in March, but showed a bit more when 3¾ lengths eighth of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Still up against it on these terms. Not disgraced at huge odds in his two Flat races but can't be recommended here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, 3/1 (3) MAHANAKHON seems to be the most promising horse with a track record of being placed in all three starts last year and finishing as a runner-up at Hamilton on his second outing. Although he didn't perform well on his seasonal debut, the ground was soft, and he could fare better this time. Additionally, the other horses have either had mixed performances or have not been seen in a long time.
The Ralph Beckett yard can do little wrong at present and CRESTA DE VEGA must hold every chance if bouncing back to the form that saw him narrowly denied at Lingfield on his penultimate start. He may have too much for Westernesse, who showed a decent level of ability in Ireland last year, while Mahanakhon has the form to also get involved in proceedings.
WESTERNESSE held his form well last season when trained by Dermot Weld, placing on his last 4 starts, and he looks the one to beat on his first outing for David O'Meara. Mahanakhon can fare better with his reappearance run behind him and is feared most, ahead of Cresta de Vega.
Today's drop back in trip looks the right move for CRESTA DE VEGA, who didn't see out 1m2f on his handicap debut in February.

1st (2) (1.88/1 +53%) Clear Angel |
1.88/1(+53%) | (2) Clear Angel 1.88/1, Successful over C&D last June and stepped up on reappearance when sixth in a big field at Doncaster last month. One to consider from a handy mark. Never far away when sixth of 22 in a Class 2 handicap at Doncaster's Lincoln meeting.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (12/1 +25%) Forward Flight |
12/1(+25%) | (3) Forward Flight 12/1, Won a 1m Yarmouth handicap last spring but has struggled since, down the field at Lingfield on first outing since leaving Alan King. Might step forward from that. Struggled since winning a small-field Yarmouth handicap (1m, soft) for Alan King last May.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7/1 -40%) Nine Elms |
7/1(-40%) | (8) Nine Elms 7/1, Has looked back to his best lately, scoring twice in a short space of time at Nottingham. Merits respect as he bids for hat-trick. His last four wins have come at Nottingham, the latest only last week; career-high mark.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (9/1 +25%) Yellow Bear |
9/1(+25%) | (14) Yellow Bear 9/1, Well treated and returned with a positive showing at Southwell. Failed to back it up at Ripon but tongue strap is back on and it's too soon to write him off. Won his novice over 1m on soft ground and could bounce back from last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (16) (22/1 +12%) Mac Ailey |
22/1(+12%) | (16) Mac Ailey 22/1, Resumed winning ways at Southwell (1m) in December and didn't do much wrong when runner-up over the same C&D next time. However, form took a turn for the worse since, and he has a poor strike rate on turf. Has to bounce back from two poor runs and he's an infrequent winner.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (40/1 -43%) Ahamoment |
40/1(-43%) | (11) Ahamoment 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden who didn't fire in a handicap at Musselburgh 22 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Low mileage but no better than seventh in his two handicaps (7f/1m).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (12/1 +0%) Zumurud |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Zumurud 12/1, Signed off last season with an excusable effort and ran well on previous outing, so not a forlorn hope if tuned up after 6 months off. Five-time winner but he's exposed and tends to need his early runs.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (28/1 +0%) Frog And Toad |
28/1(+0%) | (10) Frog And Toad 28/1, First run since leaving David O'Meara when last of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Ripon (8f, soft) 10 days ago, lost all chance at start. Quite consistent last year and might return to form if he breaks on terms. Didn't start this campaign with a bang on his debut for current yard when last at Ripon.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (20/1 -25%) Absolute Dream |
20/1(-25%) | (4) Absolute Dream 20/1, Notched third win of last campaign when landing a big-field handicap over a mile at Doncaster last in September. Poor efforts to sign off, though, and might need his first run in 6 months. This mark isn't beyond him but looks best watched after a break.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (7.5/1 +38%) Perfect Swiss |
7.5/1(+38%) | (5) Perfect Swiss 7.5/1, 11/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 26 days ago. Performing with consistency of late and handicapper has given him a chance since latest effort. Fourth of 17 over 1m at Pontefract on his last turf run and off a similar mark.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (15) (33/1 -32%) Darker |
33/1(-32%) | (15) Darker 33/1, Hasn't shown much in 3 runs to date (left David O'Meara and off 8 months prior to latest effort). Faces a more realistic task in low-grade handicap for the first time. Poor so far and goes handicapping with much to prove.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (11/1 -10%) Engles Rock |
11/1(-10%) | (13) Engles Rock 11/1, Consistent performer who is reliant on a solid gallop and didn't get it at Newcastle last time, shaping as if still in form. Should play a part if the race is run to suit. She won twice at Ayr last year and it was off this mark the last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (10/1 +17%) End Zone |
10/1(+17%) | (12) End Zone 10/1, Hasn't won for a while but is becoming feasibly treated and wasn't seen to best effect at Pontefract last time. Not discounted. Capable on his day but recent form is not encouraging.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (6) (22/1 -83%) Mr Trevor |
22/1(-83%) | (6) Mr Trevor 22/1, Three wins last season, including on penultimate outing at Newcastle, and final run at the same track is easily excused. Might need his return, however. Probably better on the synthetics and this is a belated first run over 1m.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
5/1 (8) NINE ELMS is likely to do well as he has won his last four races, including the latest only last week, and is in good form. He is also bidding for a hat-trick and merits respect. 4/1 (2) CLEAR ANGEL and 10/1 (13) ENGLES ROCK are also worth considering as they have performed well in their previous races and have the potential to win.
Nine Elms has found another level of late and his latest 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold display. Roy Bowring's inmate, however, does have stall 15 to overcome and CLEAR ANGEL may thwart him in his bid to land a hat-trick. The five-year-old was far from disgraced when finishing sixth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster at the beginning of the month and he makes plenty of appeal off 2lb lower. Perfect Swiss completes the shortlist.
CLEAR ANGEL won here last season and his latest sixth in a competitive race at Doncaster looks like a solid piece of form, so he could be the answer to this wide-open contest. The hat-trick seeking Nine Elms is an obvious danger and End Zone warrants a mention.
Not many come here on the back of positive performances. CLEAR ANGEL (nap) is an exception after a good effort in the Spring Mile.

1st (9) (5/1 -11%) Hiya Maite |
5/1(-11%) | (9) Hiya Maite 5/1, Dual 5f AW winner in the winter and posted another solid effort back on turf when third of 11 at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 8 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Can go well again. Dual 5f Tapeta winner in late 2022 and ran well when back on turf last week (6f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (25/1 -14%) Papa Don't Preach |
25/1(-14%) | (2) Papa Don't Preach 25/1, Scored over 5f at Newcastle in January but below par both runs since, sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 45 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Awarded AW race in January and is on a workable mark if all goes to plan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4.5/1 +59%) It Just Takes Time |
4.5/1(+59%) | (1) It Just Takes Time 4.5/1, Four-time 6f/7f winner in 2022 who raced wide when ninth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy) 20 days ago. Back down in trip and can bounce back. Won four times in 2020 (6f-7.4f) but may find today's trip a bit sharp. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (18/1 -29%) King Of Tonga |
18/1(-29%) | (8) King Of Tonga 18/1, Four-time 5f scorer last year who looked rusty after 6 months off when fifteenth of 16 at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Can take a big step forward now. Won four times on turning tracks in 2022 but was never involved on recent reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (22/1 -83%) Oso Rapido |
22/1(-83%) | (4) Oso Rapido 22/1, Fairly useful 6f winner but he came in only twelfth of 14 in 6f handicap at Newcastle in October. Sort to bounce back on his seasonal return though. Won off this mark last summer but absent since two down-the-field runs in the autumn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (7.5/1 -88%) Black Friday |
7.5/1(-88%) | (10) Black Friday 7.5/1, It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2021 but he recorded a good second of 16 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Firmly in the picture despite a 2 lb rise. Not the force of old but ran well over 5f on seasonal debut and this longer trip will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (12/1 -9%) Sound Reason |
12/1(-9%) | (6) Sound Reason 12/1, Had wind op/off 6 months before coming in only fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on now and he needs considering. In rear throughout on recent seasonal debut; cheekpieces refitted today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (5.5/1 -10%) Twelfth Knight |
5.5/1(-10%) | (3) Twelfth Knight 5.5/1, Resumed winning ways after 7 months off on his yard debut in 12-runner handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 20 days ago. Back up 4 lb but well on top at the finish there so another bold showing is on the cards. Scored on recent seasonal/stable debut and today's 4lb higher mark ought to be manageable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (6.5/1 +59%) Baba Reza |
6.5/1(+59%) | (7) Baba Reza 6.5/1, Fairly useful 6f winner who saw the track only three times in 2022, left poorly placed when eighth of 16 at Haydock (6f) in September. In good hands so no forlorn hope on his return. Not far off best form when placed on second of three runs last year; has fitness to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (4/1 +0%) Ey Up It's Maggie |
4/1(+0%) | (5) Ey Up It's Maggie 4/1, Resumed with 5f success at Doncaster and not disgraced when fifth off higher marks at Pontefract and Newmarket since. Remains high on the shortlist. Won with a bit in hand on seasonal debut; drops in grade after two very respectable runs. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
5/1 (3) TWELFTH KNIGHT is likely to do well based on the summary. The horse has recently scored on a seasonal/stable debut and has a manageable 4lb higher mark. It seems to be in good form and is expected to show another bold performance.
TWELFTH KNIGHT appeared to win with something in hand on his stable/seasonal debut for Ruth Carr at Redcar earlier in the month and the handicapper may have let him in lightly off only 4lb higher. Hiya Maite lost little in defeat when placing third at Thirsk recently and he should be in the mix once more running off the same mark. Black Friday should appreciate this extended 5f trip and is another to note.
TWELFTH KNIGHT capitalised on a much-reduced mark when getting off the mark at Redcar on his first run for Ruth Carr and can make light of a 4 lb rise in the weights here. In-form Ey Up It's Maggie remains handily weighted and seems sure to have a say, with both Sound Reason and Hiya Maite in the mix too in an open sprint.
Today's slightly longer trip is sure to suit BLACK FRIDAY, who ran a big race in defeat over 5f at Musselburgh this month.

1st (4) (14/1 +13%) Dandy Spirit |
14/1(+13%) | (4) Dandy Spirit 14/1, Dual winner over 6f at Pontefract last summer but not troubled the judge since and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Blinkers back on. Now 8lb lower than last winning mark but way below form at 5f this season; blinkers back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (20/1 +20%) Star Of Aria |
20/1(+20%) | (2) Star Of Aria 20/1, Largely ran well in 2022 but little encouragement taken from either outing this year. Relatively lightly raced; did not show much on soft ground on either start this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/1 -78%) High Opinion |
4/1(-78%) | (1) High Opinion 4/1, Generally progressive last season and shaped as if better for run when sixth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 28 days ago. Likely contender. Won at Nottingham (5f, soft) in October; not so good in two runs since but not disgraced. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (8/1 -45%) Canaria Prince |
8/1(-45%) | (5) Canaria Prince 8/1, Bagged 3 victories (all 5f) last season and reappears on a feasible mark. Conditions should suit and is one for the shortlist. Three 5f wins last year from the front, the last of them on good to soft; considered. |

5th (8) (4/1 +67%) Jackmeister Rudi |
4/1(+67%) | (8) Jackmeister Rudi 4/1, Didn't get home over 7f at Thirsk last time and posted creditable fourth at Wolverhampton (6.1f) previously. Others more appealing, though. Rare run over 7f did not go well on return to turf, but too well handicapped to be ignored. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (6.5/1 +46%) Shark Two One |
6.5/1(+46%) | (3) Shark Two One 6.5/1, On a lengthy losing run and no impact in a couple of runs on AW earlier this year. Plenty to prove back on turf here. 17lb higher this time last year; his only other run over short of 6f was in August 2020. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (18/1 -13%) One For The Ladies |
18/1(-13%) | (10) One For The Ladies 18/1, Belatedly off the mark at Newcastle (6f) in September 2021 but not seen for 18 months and market should prove best guide to claims on return to action. Won well on penultimate start (AW) but absent 562 days since a flop on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (14/1 +0%) Wade's Magic |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Wade's Magic 14/1, Ended last season below form but the handicapper has reacted accordingly and he wasn't seen to best effect on return at Thirsk last week. Each-way player. Did not have the best of runs eight days ago but could still be one for later on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (4.5/1 +0%) Rainbow Rain |
4.5/1(+0%) | (9) Rainbow Rain 4.5/1, Off the mark at Redcar (6f) in June and not disgraced off 5 lb higher over same C&D the following month. Should be straighter for recent return and enters calculations with visor back on. Fair fourth on soft on reappearance, first run since July; return of the visor could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (12/1 -60%) Variety Island |
12/1(-60%) | (7) Variety Island 12/1, Just 1 win from 16 starts but ended last year with creditable third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 11/1) and reappears on a workable mark. Minor honours last term included first and final starts; not proven on softer than good. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, 5.5/1 (5) CANARIA PRINCE and 2.25/1 (1) HIGH OPINION seem to be the strongest contenders, with 4.5/1 (9) RAINBOW RAIN and 14/1 (6) WADE'S MAGIC also potential each-way players. The rest of the field seems less likely to win.
HIGH OPINION drops in class following a below-par run over 5f at Doncaster earlier this month and he can build on that now rated just 3lb above his last winning mark. Any market support should not be ignored for the gelded son of Hellvelyn, but Canaria Prince can give the selection plenty to think about on his return from a break. Variety Island is another to bear in mind.
HIGH OPINION is still low mileage and should be straighter for his Doncaster return earlier this month. He gets the nod. Rainbow Rain and Canaria Prince can also make their presence felt.
With a run under his belt and the visor restored, RAINBOW RAIN has a fair bit going for him considering this looks a weak race.

1st (1) (3.5/1 +75%) Rock N Roll Pinkie |
3.5/1(+75%) | (1) Rock N Roll Pinkie 3.5/1, Improved when third of 6 on handicap debut at Southwell (12.1f) 12 days ago. Will stay the additional 2f here and can make presence felt on turf debut. Makes another step up in trip for today's turf debut and she should stay well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2.25/1 -50%) Cinnodin |
2.25/1(-50%) | (2) Cinnodin 2.25/1, Improved for the step up in trip when making a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton in February before following up in 3-runner event at Southwell (14.1f) 16 days ago. Should continue progressing and looks the one to beat on turf debut. Won over 1m4f (last gasp) and 1m6f (by 8l, three ran) on Tapeta in his two handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2.25/1 +10%) Michael's Pledge |
2.25/1(+10%) | (3) Michael's Pledge 2.25/1, Half-brother to smart stayer Coltrane but showed very little in maiden/minor event company late last year. Since been gelded and is significantly up in trip for his handicap bow, so any market support would be of note. Stamina in family; could be seen in a much more positive light on handicap/seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (6.5/1 -18%) Queenmambo |
6.5/1(-18%) | (5) Queenmambo 6.5/1, Creditable second of 4 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 21 days ago. Up in trip again but has previously shown her effectiveness on turf and has place claims again in another weak contest with good-value claimer aboard. Last two starts showed she stays 1m4f and may well prove suited by this step up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/1 +78%) Have You A Minute |
11/1(+78%) | (7) Have You A Minute 11/1, Muhaarar gelding finished well beaten in minor events and a maiden in the second half of last year. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut. Huge prices when towards rear in three runs last autumn; has stamina in the family. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (20/1 -100%) Ten Bob Note |
20/1(-100%) | (4) Ten Bob Note 20/1, Only minor encouragement in trio of maiden/novice events towards back end of last year. Prominent in the betting on handicap debut last time but ultimately shaped as if needing run. May make more impact here. Again cut little ice on handicap debut (1m4f, soft) early this month; dam 2m winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (28/1 -133%) Red Bird |
28/1(-133%) | (6) Red Bird 28/1, Well-bred sort finished down the field in a trio of minor events late last year and looked a very difficult ride when beaten 23 lengths by Cinnodin in 3-runner handicap at Southwell last time. Blinkers now applied but she's opposable on balance. Beat just one rival in four starts; hopes seem to be pinned on the first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (50/1 -79%) Happy Dancer |
50/1(-79%) | (8) Happy Dancer 50/1, Could hardly have shown any less in a trio of minor events last term and would surely need to improve to make an impact on handicap debut even in relatively weak company as this is. Behind in his three runs over 7.4f/1m on good ground last July-September. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
1.5/1 (2) CINNODIN is predicted to do well based on the summary provided. The horse has won over 1m4f and 1m6f on Tapeta in two handicaps and has continued to progress, winning a handicap debut at Wolverhampton in February and following up in a 3-runner event at Southwell. The summary suggests that 1.5/1 (2) CINNODIN should continue to progress and looks to be the one to beat on turf debut.
An emphatic winner over this trip at Southwell last time out, it could be worth siding with CINNODIN on his turf debut. He is rated 6lb higher for the aforementioned success, but that may not be enough to stop him landing a treble here. Queenmambo filled the runner-up spot on her last outing, also at Southwell, and is feared most, while Red Bird completes the shortlist in first-time blinkers.
The hat-trick seeking CINNODIN probably hasn't finished improving following victories at Wolverhampton and Southwell and he looks hard to beat now switched to turf. Rock N Roll Pinkie stepped forward on her handicap bow last time and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the longer trip, so appeals as the one to follow the selection home ahead of Queenmambo.
It's CINNODIN who has done most to show he has what it takes, ahead of Rock N Roll Pinkie and Queenmambo.
Ths is the racecard key.

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