1st (6)  (5/1 -82%)Lucentio |
5/1(-82%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lucentio 5/1, Cheekpieces on for first time and produced a career best when winning 5-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy) 14 days ago. Well placed on that occasion but he still needs considering for his top yard. Drew clear to win quite comfortably over C&D on soft ground a fortnight ago; up 6lb. |
|||
2nd (5)  (4/1 -60%)Caprelo |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Caprelo 4/1, Left 2-y-o form trailing in his wake when winning 8-runner handicap (11/4) at Kempton (11f) 33 days ago, cosily. Shortlist material up 5 lb with promise of much more to come on turf. Scored on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW); can progress again. |
|||
3rd (4)  (11/2 +27%)Rakki |
11/2(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rakki 11/2, Continued progressive thread when fourth of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Kempton (12f) 19 days ago. Makes turf debut. Kept on pretty well when fourth of seven on seasonal/handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW). |
|||
4th (3)  (11/4 +45%)Alacrity |
11/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Alacrity 11/4, Improved again when winning 12-runner maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW, 11/1) albeit she had the run of race. Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut for top yard. Made all in 1m2f AW maiden in November; ought to have more to offer in handicaps this year. |
|||
5th (1)  (11/1 +8%)I Love Paris |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) I Love Paris 11/1, Promise in his 4-race juvenile campaign. Probably needed the run when ninth of 11 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten over 8.5f on seasonal debut; moves up in trip with quite a bit to prove. |
|||
6th (2)  (12/1 -100%)Freds Mate |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Freds Mate 12/1, Much improved when making second start a winning one at Newcastle. Second of 4 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 2/1). Off 136 days (gelded since) and no reason why he won't be as effective on turf. Game 2yo novice winner but subsequent handicap form less convincing. |
|||
7th (7)  (15/2 +0%)Malinka |
15/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Malinka 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, sixth of 11 in novice event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 37 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut and that's sure to suit. Never dangerous on seasonal debut but can still progress from December's Lingfield third. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Lucentio opened his account with a recent course and distance success though that was on soft going and CAPRELO makes more appeal. Hughie Morrison's colt relished the step up to 1m3f when scoring at Kempton on last month's handicap debut and there looks plenty more to come over middle-distances. Freds Mate is steadily improving and could be in the mix once again, while maiden winner Alacrity steps up in trip for her reappearance.
This looks a fair 3-y-o handicap for the grade but it's still hard to escape the claims of CAPRELO, who was much improved when successful at Kempton a month ago and his revised mark looks lenient. Lucentio landed a C&D handicap a fortnight ago so commands respect, with Malinka a likely improver tackling a more suitable trip.
Preference is for CAPRELO, who scored on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Kempton and ought to have more to offer.

(15)  (8/1 -60%)Larchill Lass |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Larchill Lass 8/1, Twice-raced filly. Second of 12 in maiden (2/1) at Beverley (5f, good) 14 days ago, running on. This step up in trip should serve her well and likely to be in the mix. Beaten fav but clear promise in two 5f runs at Beverley; stepping up to 6f should suit. |
|||
1st (8)  (7/4 +47%)Sergio Parisse |
7/4(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sergio Parisse 7/4, Once-raced colt. Third of 12 in maiden at Leicester (5f, good, 10/3) on debut 9 days ago, finishing strongly. Extra furlong to travel here, which will be in his favour, and he's high on the shortlist. Lots of promise when 3rd at Leicester nine days ago; open to plenty of improvement. |
|||
2nd (6)  (33/1 +0%)Gap Year |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gap Year 33/1, Foaled February 28. €6,000 yearling, Elzaam gelding. Brother to 2-y-o 7.2f winner Elzaam Tales and half-brother to 1m-2m winner Global Wonder and 6f winner Patsy Fagan. Jockey bookings point to Enchanted Eye being the stable No 1. Appealing pedigree; one of two newcomers for a yard whose juveniles are flying high. |
|||
3rd (14)  (7/2 +6%)Lady With The Lamp |
7/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Lady With The Lamp 7/2, €14,000 yearling. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Payment In Kind, while dam was a 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 1¼m, herself a half-sister to useful 9.5f winner Bright Start. Rare first-time-out runner on these shores for top Irish yard and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant. 14,000euros half-sister to a 6f 2yo winner; strong paper claims and one to take seriously. |
|||
4th (2)  (50/1 +0%)Brian |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Brian 50/1, Foaled January 20. €8,500 foal, Shaman colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5.5f-7.5f winner Cape Florida and 5f/6f winner Howzak. Doesn't have the look of a probable first-time-out winner on paper. Half-brother to two winners but yard has a modest strike-rate with 2yos in recent seasons. |
|||
5th (7)  (17/2 -42%)Number |
17/2(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Number 17/2, Once-raced colt. 14/1, third of 7 in minor event at Goodwood (5f, heavy) on debut 17 days ago. Up in trip and should be in the thick of things if able to build on that. Promising 3rd at Goodwood 17 days ago (5f, heavy); different conditions but can do better. |
|||
6th (4)  (22/1 -120%)Enchanted Eye |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Enchanted Eye 22/1, Foaled January 20. Expert Eye gelding. Dam 8.3f-1½m winner. Yard can ready a newcomer and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. First foal of a 1m turf/1m4f AW winner; yard's 2yos going well; stable run two. |
|||
7th (5)  (33/1 +18%)Fearless Freddy |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fearless Freddy 33/1, Foaled April 15. Territories colt. Half-brother to 10.7f winner Fryerns. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 9f Gender Agenda. Stable doesn't make a habit of winning with 2-y-o newcomers. Half-brother to a minor AW winner; yard's newcomers usually come on for a run. |
|||
8th (11)  (33/1 -32%)Dollyana |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Dollyana 33/1, Foaled March 13. Land Force filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Priors Dell. Dam 1m/9f winner. Will only be of interest on debut if the market vibes are notably upbeat. Half-sister to a 2yo winner out of a 1m/1m1f winner; likely one for the longer term. |
|||
9th (9)  (9/2 -64%)Sir Geoff Morgan |
9/2(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sir Geoff Morgan 9/2, Promising sort. 4/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at Chester (5.1f, good) 12 days ago. Open to improvement and he's likely to take a hand in the finish. Promising debut and then still green when 4th in the Lily Agnes; 6f should suit. |
|||
10th (3)  (33/1 -65%)Corriamo |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Corriamo 33/1, Foaled March 10. 12,000 gns yearling, Mohaather colt. Half-brother to 7f/7.6f winner Motawaajed and 7f-1m winner Lattam, both useful. Dam, unraced, closely related to very smart 7f-9f winner Haatheq. Watch the betting for clues. 12,000gns half-brother to two useful winners; yard's newcomers usually better for a run. |
|||
11th (10)  (22/1 +33%)Toy Soldier |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Toy Soldier 22/1, Foaled March 21. £16,000 yearling, Soldier's Call gelding. Dam 7f winner. Not as appealing as some of these on paper. £16,000 yearling; dam a 7f AW winner; likely one for the longer term. |
|||
12th (12)  (66/1 +18%)Galette |
66/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Galette 66/1, Foaled April 11. Time Test filly. Dam maiden out of unraced half-sister to Nassau Stakes winner Sultanina. Probably more one for the longer term. Dam a maiden half-sister to a 6f winner in Japan; fair standard to aim at. |
|||
13th (13)  (80/1 +20%)Keep Singing |
80/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Keep Singing 80/1, Foaled January 26. €3,500 yearling, Kameko filly. Half-sister to 5.7f winner Reckon I'm Hot. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Not especially appealing on paper. 3,500euros half-sister to a minor winning sprinter; others have stronger paper claims. |
|||
14th (1)  (22/1 -83%)Adelaide Bay |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Adelaide Bay 22/1, Foaled March 20. £10,000 yearling, New Bay colt. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run. £10,000 yearling; bred to stay and probably one for the longer term. |
|||
15th (16)  (66/1 -65%)Lucky Lottery |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Lucky Lottery 66/1, Foaled April 7. Far Above filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 11f-1½m winner Alrazeen and 2-y-o 6f winner Kidyounot. Another who may be more of a long-term prospect. Half-sister to three winners but yard 0-67 with turf 2yos in the last five seasons. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
SIR GEOFF MORGAN looks to be crying out for this extra distance on the evidence of both starts so far. He was finishing strongly again over the minimum trip at Chester last time and is preferred to Larchill Lass, a beaten favourite at Beverley in both outings to date. Number and Sergio Parisse are likely improvers, while Joseph O'Brien sends over Lady With The Lamp from Ireland and the newcomer should be noted with Oisin Murphy on board.
SERGIO PARISSE did well to finish as close as he did when third on debut at Leicester where a combination of greenness and interference ultimately proved costly. While that probably wasn't a particularly strong maiden, it was nevertheless a very promising introduction from this son of Sergei Prokofiev and he gets the nod now upped in trip. Sir Geoff Morgan is also likely to benefit from the step up to 6f and is feared most ahead of intriguing newcomer Lady With The Lamp.
A strong-looking maiden in which SERGIO PARISSE is preferred to Number and interesting newcomer Lady With The Lamp.

33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Ronster 33/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 8 in minor event at Sandown (10f, good to soft, 22/1) on debut 24 days ago. 22-1, ran out of steam very quickly over 1m2f on Sandown debut; drop to 1m can suit. |
|||
(1)  (100/1 +0%)Daliso |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Daliso 100/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 80/1) on debut. Off 10 months. 80-1 for AW debut in July when dropping right out; had wind op since but can only watch. |
|||
1st (5)  (9/4 +10%)Cat Ninja |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cat Ninja 9/4, Promising sort. Second of 12 in maiden (4/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good) on debut 20 days ago, running on. Sets the standard with more to come, so looks the one to beat. Half-sister to 1,000 Guineas winner Cachet; promising debut 2nd over 7f; should stay 1m. |
|||
2nd (6)  (5/2 +29%)Clove Hitch |
5/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Clove Hitch 5/2, Promising type. 12/1, third of 17 in maiden at Newbury (8f, good) 30 days ago. Should progress further and looks an obvious player. Modest 2yo debut; gave it a good shot from the front on return at Newbury (1m). |
|||
3rd (3)  (10/3 -11%)Aurora's Beauty |
10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Aurora's Beauty 10/3, Twice-raced filly. Third of 12 in maiden (3/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 33 days ago. May do better again and can't be ruled out. Fairly low-key debut over 7f on AW; step forward at Newmarket (1m); improve further. |
|||
4th (7)  (40/1 -264%)Dream Seeker |
40/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dream Seeker 40/1, Once-raced filly. 11/4, second of 4 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 51 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. This is a stronger race but she's open to improvement. Pedigree more in keeping with middle distances; promising 7f debut but plenty more needed. |
|||
5th (11)  (13/2 +19%)Raheena |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Raheena 13/2, Once-raced filly. 7/2, fifth of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut. Off 9 months. Open to progress. Respectable debut 5th over 7f last August; off since but will be suit by 1m. |
|||
6th (9)  (200/1 -203%)Icecap |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Icecap 200/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 12 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good, 125/1) on debut 20 days ago, not knocked about. Promising 7f debut at Yarmouth despite finishing about 7l behind Cat Ninja; can improve. |
|||
7th (8)  (15/2 +6%)Fight For You |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fight For You 15/2, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Glorious Journey, 1m winner Queen For You and 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Love Is You. Very much one to note on debut. Out of Group 1 winner; interesting prospect but yard's main hope looks to be Cat Ninja. |
|||
8th (2)  (250/1 -400%)Starspangledsammy |
250/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Starspangledsammy 250/1, Once-raced filly on Flat. 50/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Kempton (11f) on flat debut. Off 131 days. Down in trip. Well adrift in a 1m3f Kempton AW novice in January; handicaps more suitable later. |
|||
9th (14)  (125/1 -279%)Tambourine Dream |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Tambourine Dream 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 18/1 and hooded for 1st time, fifth of 12 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good) 20 days ago. Similar level of form in two starts, held by Cat Ninja on 7f Yarmouth run last month. |
|||
|U| (4)  (28/1 -250%)Beatrice Shilling |
28/1(-250%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Beatrice Shilling 28/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 8 in minor event (5/1) at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Others make more appeal. Faded over 1m2f at Sandown on reappearance but should still have potential back at 1m. |
|||
10th (13)  (66/1 -100%)Samoon Star |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Samoon Star 66/1, Once-raced filly. 6/1, last of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) on debut. Off 9 months. Well-held last of ten on Lingfield debut at about 7f last August; early days yet. |
|||
11th (10)  (100/1 -203%)Madeleine Moonshot |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Madeleine Moonshot 100/1, Once-raced filly. 66/1, fourth of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut, not knocked about. Off 91 days. Likely to improve at some point. Weak in the market and never near the leaders after a slow start on 7f debut at Lingfield. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
CAT NINJA showed plenty of promise when narrowly beaten over 7f at Yarmouth on last month's debut. She should improve for this extra furlong and is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Fight For You, a half-sister to a Group 2 winner. Both Aurora's Beauty and Clove Hitch will have likely come on for their reappearance efforts, while Raheena is worthy of a second glance on her return to action.
CAT NINJA's second at Yarmouth is the best piece of form on offer and she's open to further progress, so she gets the nod ahead of Clove Hitch, with Fight For You another one to consider first time out.
This can go to CAT NINJA who finished strongly over 7f on her debut despite taking a good hold early. Aurora's Beauty is next best.

1st (4)  (9/4 +63%)Amazonian Dream |
9/4(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Amazonian Dream 9/4, C&D winner. 13/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 14 days ago. Needs to bounce back but he's just 2 lb higher than for his latest success here in October and could go well now reunited with Oisin Murphy. C&D win last October is strong form; yet to fire this year but Oisin Murphy takes over now. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/2 -64%)Many A Star |
9/2(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Many A Star 9/2, Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Kempton in April. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, heavy, 11/4) 17 days ago. That was a stronger race than this and while he hasn't made an impact in 2 previous appearances here, this 7-y-o has to be feared off a workable mark. Two AW wins last month; solid efforts on turf since; should be involved once again. |
|||
3rd (5)  (9/1 -157%)Almaty Star |
9/1(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Almaty Star 9/1, 7/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) 19 days ago. Has edged down to a tempting mark but not sure that the return to this trip will be in his favour and, in any case, he appears to be more effective on the AW. Handicapper on top lately; return to 6f not enough to tempt. |
|||
4th (2)  (11/2 -65%)The Thames Boatman |
11/2(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Thames Boatman 11/2, Latest win at Lingfield in March. 10/3, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 18 days ago. 0-7 on turf but he is effective on grass, as he proved on several occasions last season. Should be on the premises. Quirky but capable; should be as effective on turf as AW in time; still looks on fair mark. |
|||
5th (7)  (4/1 +47%)Big R |
4/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Big R 4/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Kempton in March. 11/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 14 days ago. Forecast better ground here may help and he's in with a shout. Two AW wins this year; fair effort over C&D latest (heavy); better ground should suit. |
|||
6th (3)  (15/2 -15%)Cuban Breeze |
15/2(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cuban Breeze 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford in November. Ninth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW). Off 159 days and likely to find one or two too good. Won a good C&D handicap in 2022; game AW win in November; back from five months off. |
|||
7th (6)  (50/1 -52%)Okami |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Okami 50/1, 100/1, last of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 165 days and looks set for another struggle. Three AW wins for R Varian; well beaten in 2 runs for this yard & risky back from a break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Having posted back-to-back wins on the all-weather last month, MANY A STAR has continued to run well on the turf and he looks more than capable of notching up another success from this mark. Cuban Breeze returns from a 159-day absence on a competitive mark and she must enter the reckoning, while Amazonian Dream is most appealing of the remainder.
This looks pretty trappy and the suggestion is MANY A STAR, who was in good order prior to a below-par effort at Goodwood last time and the return to better ground and slight ease in class are positive factors where he is concerned. The Thames Boatman has yet to strike on turf but he is likely to put that right before long judged on 2023 exploits and he arrives here on the back of a creditable effort at Chelmsford. He is second choice ahead of Amazonian Dream and Big R.
The Thames Boatman has the ability to feature off this mark but AMAZONIAN DREAM may be the answer this evening.

1st (3)  (3/1 +45%)Rocking Ends |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rocking Ends 3/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Visored for 1st time, creditable third of 7 in handicap (10/1) at Chelmsford City (5f). Off 109 days. First run for yard after leaving Brett Johnson. One to monitor in the betting. Didn't quite fulfil potential for former stable but potentially thrown in on stable debut. |
|||
2nd (4)  (25/1 -150%)Grace Angel |
25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Grace Angel 25/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 9/1) 9 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark. On a good mark but she's not found her best form this year; others are more appealing. |
|||
3rd (7)  (5/1 -11%)Treacherous |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Treacherous 5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f). Off 164 days. Merits consideration. Ended 2023 in good form on AW; O Murphy booked but recent record fresh not inspiring. |
|||
4th (8)  (40/1 -150%)Chasseral |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Chasseral 40/1, 25/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Andrew Balding when last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 67 days ago. Low-key stable debut on AW in March; better than that and type to come good at some point. |
|||
5th (6)  (13/2 +19%)Miss Attitude |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Miss Attitude 13/2, 7¾ lengths ninth of 11 to Rumstar in Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket (5f, good, 28/1). Off 19 months. Tough to assess at present. Two 5f wins as a 2yo; absent 591 days; retains potential but perhaps vulnerable this time. |
|||
6th (10)  (16/1 -60%)The Defiant |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) The Defiant 16/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm, 9/1) 4 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Good run at Epsom last month but couldn't back it up at Lingfield on Thursday; widest draw. |
|||
7th (11)  (33/1 -136%)So Smart |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) So Smart 33/1, One win from 35 Flat runs. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 20/1) 14 days ago. Something to prove. Promising run over C&D on heavy two weeks ago; eligible for weaker races than this. |
|||
8th (9)  (16/1 +36%)Four Adaay |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Four Adaay 16/1, 9/1, last of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, heavy) 43 days ago. Others make more appeal. 4lb lower than for her Newmarket win last summer; low-key reappearance, however. |
|||
9th (5)  (10/1 -186%)Dubai Station |
10/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dubai Station 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 7/2, good second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 18 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently and weighted to strike. Run well in two starts since rejoining this yard; still feasibly treated; each-way shout. |
|||
10th (2)  (12/1 -9%)Watchya |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Watchya 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Ascot (5f, good) 19 days ago. Becoming well treated but not threatening to capitalise. Patchy overall record but down in grade & conditions should suit; others look safer though. |
|||
11th (1)  (4/1 +11%)Lil Guff |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lil Guff 4/1, 6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) 19 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark and not disgraced last time, so one to consider dropped in grade. Effective over C&D, on good mark and returning to faster ground a major plus; big chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WATCHYA showed much more when returned to the turf at Ascot earlier this month. A further 3lb ease in the handicap will aid his chance along with the forecast ground conditions. Four Adaay is another that will appreciate the return to quicker ground, and it would come as no surprise were the largely consistent Treacherous to be involved on his return from an absence.
DUBAI STATION is back in good order and handicapped to win, so he's taken to go a place better than when runner-up at Chelmsford recently. Treacherous is an obvious threat if tuned up for his return and Lil Guff warrants a mention dropped in grade.
Lil Guff should go well back on faster ground but ROCKING ENDS (nap) is taken to exploit a lowly mark on his stable debut.

(13)  (16/1 -60%)Warhol |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Warhol 16/1, C&D winner on heavy last spring and added another good run here when second last October. Contender if ready to roll after 6 months off. C&D winner; ran well first time out last spring; betting revealing on his return. |
|||
(15)  (33/1 -106%)Lawn Ranger |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Lawn Ranger 33/1, Five-time course winner. 8/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f) on reappearance 19 days ago. Needs to come on for the outing. Multiple course winner but probably wants slower ground nowadays. |
|||
1st (7)  (10/3 +17%)Incremental |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Incremental 10/3, Won novice at Wolverhampton in November. 2/1 and hooded first time, third of 5 in handicap at Doncaster (1½m, good to soft) 18 days ago. Murphy takes the ride again. One for the shortlist. Beaten at short odds in two handicaps this spring; faster ground can help; not yet exposed. |
|||
2nd (11)  (5/1 +9%)Lexington Knight |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Lexington Knight 5/1, Course winner. Respectable third of 6 in handicap at Brighton (1½m, good, 7/2) 30 days ago. One to consider. Second in this race last year; placed on last three starts; more appealing than most. |
|||
3rd (4)  (11/1 +45%)Good Too |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Good Too 11/1, 18/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (1m, good) 35 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Significantly back up in trip. Ran well over 1m3f last month; outpaced over 1m here latest; unexposed at middle distances. |
|||
4th (2)  (9/2 +50%)Enthused |
9/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Enthused 9/2, C&D winner. 33/1, creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at Ascot (1½m, good to firm) 9 days ago. Multiple hurdle winner last year; running creditably on Flat this year; down in grade. |
|||
5th (3)  (14/1 -100%)Croeso Cymraeg |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Croeso Cymraeg 14/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in C&D handicap (good to firm) on reappearance 28 days ago, never nearer. Merits consideration with that run behind him. On a winning mark and conditions no problem; e-w shout if building on last month's return. |
|||
6th (6)  (11/1 -10%)Saligo Bay |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Saligo Bay 11/1, Won this race 12 months ago. Also landed a Plumpton selling hurdle in November but hasn't been at his best over timber since. Remains 2 lb above last year's mark. Won corresponding race off 2lb lower last year; mixed bag over hurdles since last Flat run. |
|||
7th (10)  (14/1 -17%)Just An Hour |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Just An Hour 14/1, Creditable fourth of 11 in C&D handicap (good to firm) 28 days ago. Oisin Murphy was on board on that occasion but seemingly prefers Incremental this time. Best run for new yard when 4th over C&D latest; that form not franked but unexposed at 12f. |
|||
8th (8)  (11/1 +45%)Oj Lifestyle |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Oj Lifestyle 11/1, Last of 18 in handicap (40/1) at Newbury (1¼m, good) on reappearance 30 days ago. Remains to be seen if a further increase in trip helps. Struggled with the handicapper last year; unsighted on return; new trip; yard run three. |
|||
9th (14)  (18/1 -125%)Carp Kid |
18/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Carp Kid 18/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Bath (1¼m, heavy, 40/1) 14 days ago. Another who has to enter calculations. Conditions to suit and made a pleasing return two weeks ago; can take a step forward. |
|||
10th (12)  (25/1 -108%)Carbis Bay |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Carbis Bay 25/1, Fair maiden at up to 11f for Marco Botti. Left that yard after a respectable fourth on AW in February. Consistent maiden for M Botti; sold 20,000gns in March; needs more but it's possible. |
|||
11th (9)  (80/1 -300%)Motazzen |
80/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Motazzen 80/1, Ended a losing run from a career-low mark when seeing off 13 rivals at Nottingham for George Baker last autumn but has made an inauspicious start to life with this yard. Blinkered first time. Yet to shine, Flat or hurdles, for new yard; blinkers now given a go. |
|||
12th (1)  (11/1 +31%)Miller Spirit |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Miller Spirit 11/1, Unreliable type. Won in the mud at Sandown last autumn. Last of 13 on AW when last seen in December. Ended 2023 with a heavy defeat; no headgear for his reappearance; risk attached. |
|||
13th (5)  (14/1 -40%)Rockit Tommy |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rockit Tommy 14/1, Won first 2 starts last spring, including a course novice. Off 11 months, eighth of 11 in C&D handicap (good to firm) on return 28 days ago. Tongue strap on now. May come on for the run. 2-2 in novices at 3; looked rusty after a year off over C&D last month; now tongue tied. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SALIGO BAY has been on the go over hurdles of late and the son of New Bay, who landed the corresponding event from a 2lb lower mark 12 months ago, might be poised to repeat the feat. Just An Hour finished a creditable fourth over course and distance last month and is an interesting contender eased 1lb in the ratings. Dual course winner Carp Kid should be involved, while Croeso Cymraeg is no back number, especially if the front runners were to go at a strong gallop.
CROESO CYMRAEG was successful the last time his mark dipped into the 70s and might be worth siding with to build on a decent reappearance run here last month. Lexington Knight has been in decent form this spring and heads the many dangers along with Carp Kid, Incremental and the returning Warhol.
Lexington Knight is high on the list but CARP KID is tentatively preferred after his encouraging reappearance at Bath.

1st (6)  (5/1 -43%)Laser Focus |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Laser Focus 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Cheekpieces on for first time in this code, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 3/1) 27 days ago. Should be up to making an impact from this mark. Flopped when 3-1 for h'cap debut latest; headgear off today; might be worth another chance. |
|||
2nd (5)  (10/1 -11%)Grey Owl |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Grey Owl 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm) 28 days ago. Tongue strap on first time for handicap debut and he may have more to offer. Looks a likely improver now handicapping at low level; tongue tie added; betting to guide. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/1 -80%)Miss Harmony |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Miss Harmony 9/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 14/1) 34 days ago. May have needed that and well handicapped if she can build on that. Three-time winner but she'll need to leave her reappearance effort well behind her. |
|||
4th (8)  (10/1 -54%)Certain Style |
10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Certain Style 10/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 14/1) 18 days ago. 0-10 but has shown some promise at a low level on AW; each-way shout back on turf. |
|||
5th (3)  (5/2 +64%)Lost In Time |
5/2(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lost In Time 5/2, Latest win at Lingfield in December. 12/1, shaped quite well when fifth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (10f, heavy) 23 days ago. That puts him in the mix. Drop back into 0-55 company a positive and he's a big player on 2023 best. |
|||
6th (7)  (25/1 -25%)Hooves Like Jagger |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hooves Like Jagger 25/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 66/1) 14 days ago. Reappearance can be excused (heavy ground) and a 4lb drop looks generous; better expected. |
|||
7th (1)  (7/2 -5%)Galactic Glow |
7/2(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Galactic Glow 7/2, Very good second of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Bath (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Back up in trip and he has to be of interest at this level. Three Bath wins (1m2f) last summer; good 2nd last time; effective over C&D; solid claims. |
|||
8th (4)  (17/2 -70%)Star Of Epsom |
17/2(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Star Of Epsom 17/2, Latest win at Lingfield in December. 10/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (11f), needing stronger gallop. Off 103 days. AW win in December off 3lb lower; best turf run came over C&D; more appealing than many. |
|||
9th (10)  (40/1 -60%)No Such Luck |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) No Such Luck 40/1, 80/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 14 days ago. Ran well in this race last year but his profile is far from convincing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Galactic Glow finished over two lengths clear of the third in this grade at Bath earlier in the month and he holds obvious claims off a 2lb higher rating. However, a chance can be taken on CERTAIN STYLE, who wasn't beaten far into fourth at Lingfield last time and the handicapper may have been kind to drop her 1lb for that performance. Lost In Time completes the shortlist after his fifth at Leicester.
LASER FOCUS was disappointing at Wolverhampton last time but cheekpieces are now off and he really should be a factor from this mark based on his hurdles ability. Galactic Glow and Miss Harmony are a couple of potential threats.
Star Of Epsom can win races on turf but LOST IN TIME has slipped back to his last winning mark and he edges preference.

13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Caramay 13/2, Maiden but she was knocking on the door in handicaps at the end of last summer. Likely to be competitive if fully primed after 6 months off. Nine-race maiden; beaten by a nose at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last September; possible.. |
|||
2nd (2)  (5/2 +25%)Curtiz |
5/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Curtiz 5/2, Latest win at Chelmsford in January. Bit below form seventh of 14 in C&D handicap (heavy, 6/1) 14 days ago but has dropped back to his last successful mark and Oisin Murphy does well for the yard. Chelmsford winner (1m2f) in January; hampered leaving the stalls over C&D (heavy) latest.. |

3rd (8)  (12/1 -118%)Iftikhaar |
12/1(-118%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Iftikhaar 12/1, Remains a maiden after 18 starts but he was a good third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) 18 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up if as effective back on turf. Yet to win (0-18); fit & well, going close to breaking duck at Lingfield (1m2f AW) latest.. |

4th (3)  (9/1 -13%)Bakersboy |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bakersboy 9/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 6 in handicap (25/1) at Chelmsford City (13f) 25 days ago. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Phil McEntee. Check the betting. Sole win (1-31) came in a Lingfield novice (1m2f; March 2022); first run for Alice Haynes.. |
|||
5th (9)  (33/1 +0%)Temur Khan |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Temur Khan 33/1, 80/1, last of 14 in handicap over this C&D (heavy) on reappearance 14 days ago. Hard to fancy after that. Brighton specialist (four wins; 1m4f); last of 14 on C&D return (heavy) a fortnight ago.. |
|||
6th (1)  (13/2 +13%)Mujid |
13/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mujid 13/2, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) on final start of 2023. Been off 6 months. Course winner (1m); fine over 1m2f; fitness a slight risk on first start since November.. |

7/2(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Conqueror 7/2, 9/2, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at Brighton (1¼m, good) under Ethan Jones 19 days ago. Respected after only a 2 lb nudge. Brighton winner (1m2f) just under three weeks ago; every chance from a 2lb higher mark.. |

9th (10)  (10/1 -43%)Capallcliste |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Capallcliste 10/1, Modest maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 27 days ago. 13-race maiden; placed at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in February; R. Ryan aboard for first time.. |

40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Estehwadh 40/1, Had lost his way when last seen and a watching brief is very much the percentage call back from 8 months off. Ffos Las nursery winner for George Boughey (7.5f, good) in summer of 2022; poor since.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
IFTIKHAAR faded into third in the closing stages when attempting to make all at Lingfield earlier in the month and he goes off an unchanged mark. The son of Dubawi looks to have plenty in his favour to get his head in front for the first time, with his main danger possibly being The Conqueror. Jim Boyle's six-year-old was victorious by half a length at Bath last time and has to be considered, while Curtiz is another to note with Oisin Murphy booked.
Oisin Murphy has a very healthy strike-rate for the Hughie Morrison stable so a chance is taken on CURTIZ bouncing back to form having returned to the mark he defied on AW in January. Recent Brighton scorer The Conqueror is next on the list ahead of the returning Caramay.
The recent Brighton winner THE CONQUEROR is the pick. Iftikhaar has been performing respectably on the AW so could rate a threat.

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.
