(7)  (12/1 -20%)Coco Bear |
12/1(-20%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Coco Bear 12/1, C&D winner. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good) 40 days ago. Others look better treated. All wins at 6f on good to soft or slower, once over C&D; wouldn't want ground to dry out. |
|||
1st (14)  (7/1 +36%)Sixties Chic |
7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Sixties Chic 7/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (10/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 76 days ago. Each-way claims. Three 6f AW wins over the winter but off since March and this is her first turf handicap. |
|||
2nd (6)  (13/2 +41%)Antiphon |
13/2(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Antiphon 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Bit below form ninth of 26 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good to firm, 33/1) 14 days ago. Others preferred. Multiple good runs here include 3 wins at 6f and 5f; likely to be a factor once more. |
|||
3rd (5)  (5/1 -25%)Coup De Force |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Coup De Force 5/1, Ran up to best when third of 10 in handicap (10/1) over C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago. Entitled to build on that and holds strong claims. Four of five wins over 5f but solid third over C&D last time and thereabouts again. |
|||
4th (4)  (11/2 +0%)Whenthedealinsdone |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Whenthedealinsdone 11/2, Course winner who has returned to form in recent starts, latest when close second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 7/2) 44 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Merits consideration. Course winner at 5f; on a losing run but down weights and in the thick of it back on turf. |
|||
5th (10)  (33/1 -32%)Hello Zabeel |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hello Zabeel 33/1, 22/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f). Off 7 months. Others more persuasive. Below best for new yard so far but 3rd in this race 12 months ago when 5lb higher. |
|||
6th (8)  (50/1 -150%)Bright |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bright 50/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 6/1). Off 92 days. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Two AW wins for yard but below best latest and unknown quantity in first turf handicap. |
|||
7th (13)  (22/1 +21%)Betweenthesticks |
22/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Betweenthesticks 22/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 155 days. Others more appealing. Has C&D form; resumes on a favourable mark but better for first two runs in 2023. |
|||
8th (1)  (66/1 -100%)Ormolulu |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ormolulu 66/1, Last of 6 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 8/1). Off 8 months. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Can lead or be ridden patiently; capable on her day but well held latest in September. |
|||
9th (2)  (13/2 +13%)Crazy Luck |
13/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Crazy Luck 13/2, Ended lengthy losing run when taking 8-runner handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm, 10/1) 14 days ago, well on top finish. 5 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist. Three close calls in defeat over C&D; took advantage of good mark last time; solid chance. |
|||
10th (12)  (15/2 +0%)On Edge |
15/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) On Edge 15/2, C&D winner who has come close on both starts this term, latest when second of 10 in handicap (11/4) at this course (5.1f, heavy) 19 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and must enter calculations. Reliable type; two close calls over 6f and 5f this year; suited by return to 6f. |
|||
11th (11)  (80/1 -142%)Umming N' Ahing |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Umming N' Ahing 80/1, 6/1, last of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, heavy) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Hard to recommend. Three-timer at 5f on turf last spring; head-scratcher more often than not in the meantime. |
|||
12th (9)  (14/1 +30%)Pop Star |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Pop Star 14/1, 12/1, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Visor on 1st time. Something to find on form. Won in Ireland last August; handicaps more problematic since; needs further weights drop. |
|||
13th (3)  (4/1 +27%)Vince Lombardi |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Vince Lombardi 4/1, Scored at Hamilton (6f) 12 months ago and wasn't seen to best effect when fifth over same C&D when last seen 11 months ago. Fairly treated on return for new yard. Useful at this level when on song but long layoff to overcome for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
COUP DE FORCE was returning from a 202-day break when she finished a commendable third over this course and distance 12 days ago and, off the same mark, the Stuart Kittow-trained mare rates a key player. Crazy Luck has previous form that ties in with the selection and will be a big threat, despite running off 5lb higher than for her Nottingham success under Oliver Searle a fortnight ago. On Edge, Whenthedealinsdone and Antiphon all hold solid place claims too.
Preference is for CRAZY LUCK, who got back on the scoreboard under this pilot at Nottingham a fortnight ago and remains well treated on old form. Coup de Force and Whenthedealinsdone head the list of dangers.
On Edge looks sure to go well again but CRAZY LUCK is just preferred after ending a losing run at Nottingham.

4/6(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Afentiko 4/6, Promising individual. Second of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 5/1) on debut 9 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement and holds strong claims. Green but kept on well for 2nd on recent Lingfield debut (6f, good to firm); can do better. |
|||
2nd (2)  (15/2 -50%)Arabian Cobra |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Arabian Cobra 15/2, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in minor event at Chester (5.1f, good, 17/2) on debut 17 days ago. May do better with that outing under his belt. Held back by inexperience in the Lily Agnes but showed plenty to build on; major player. |
|||

12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sensorium 12/1, Foaled March 17. £40,000 yearling, resold £3,500 yearling, 48,000 gns 2-y-o, Kodiac colt.

Dam, maiden (stayed 7f) out of smart winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner) Tropical Paradise. 41,000gns yearling; bred to have a future but perhaps further down the line. |

Dam 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed easy 1½m. Market check advised on debut. Half-sister to two winners out of a Listed-placed 1m winner; likely type on paper. |
|||
8th (11)  (33/1 -65%)Sweet Sonata |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sweet Sonata 33/1, Foaled February 19. Sergei Prokofiev filly. Dam 1m winner. Dam a minor AW winner; rookie sire going well; yard's newcomers usually better for a run. |
|||
9th (8)  (125/1 -150%)Captain Cess |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Captain Cess 125/1, Foaled April 26. 10,000 gns yearling, Profitable colt.

22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Arlecchino's Rex 22/1, Foaled May 15. 13,000 gns yearling, Belardo colt. Half-brother to 1m-1½m winner Quiviven and 1m-1¼m winner Noble Anthem.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
AFENTIKO ran encouragingly when chasing home an expensive Godolphin recruit on debut at Lingfield and shades the vote today, given he is sure to be much wiser for the experience. Arabian Cobra, the only other runner with a previous run, never really got going in the Lily Agnes at Chester but may do better without having to deal with racing on a camber this time. Newcomers Breakout Star and Manila Thriller appeal on paper and warrant betting checks.
This can go to AFENTIKO, who should have learnt plenty from last week's encouraging Lingfield debut. The chief threat is likely to come from one of the newcomers, with Breakout Star and Manila Thriller making most appeal on pedigree.
Afentiko sets the standard and can do better but ARABIAN COBRA can take a marked step forward from his Chester debut.

50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Flying Star 50/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 9 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft, 66/1) on debut 21 days ago. Improvement required. Sixth of nine on her belated Yarmouth debut three weeks ago; needs major improvement. |
|||
1st (6)  (8/11 +55%)Ezra Cee |
8/11(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ezra Cee 8/11, Posted fair form in all 3 starts for Peter Chapple-Hyam, latest when fifth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 5/4) in November. Since joined new yard/gelded and holds strong claims on form. Showed ability in all three starts last autumn; looks the one to beat on stable debut. |
|||
2nd (7)  (33/1 -50%)State Of Madness |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) State Of Madness 33/1, Washington DC colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 6f-13f winner Mohareb and 1½m winner Dashing Panther. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Stable can get them ready first time and market support would be interesting. |
|||
3rd (2)  (100/1 -25%)Pearl's Edge |
100/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pearl's Edge 100/1, Once-raced filly. Hooded, last of 10 in maiden at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 125/1) on debut. Off 12 months. Tailed-off last of ten on her Salisbury debut a year ago; makes no appeal. |
|||
4th (5)  (10/1 -264%)Ethandun |
10/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ethandun 10/1, Fair gelding. 7/2, below form fourth of 9 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not out of things. Hasn't gone on from a promising first start of the season at two and three; cheekpieces on. |
|||
5th (4)  (3/1 +10%)Arkhalia Flynn |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Arkhalia Flynn 3/1, Fifth of 9 in minor event (16/1) at Newbury (7f, good) on debut in July. Off since and gelded. Likely to improve this term and merits consideration. Some promise on last July's Newbury debut; not seen since, but still a player. |
|||
6th (8)  (22/1 +0%)Family Matters |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Family Matters 22/1, 1,000 gns foal, Due Diligence filly. Dam unraced. Stable only has the occasional winning newcomer; best watched. |
|||
7th (3)  (10/1 +9%)Accrual |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Accrual 10/1, £22,000 yearling, Profitable gelding. Closely related to 2-y-o 5f winner Paytheprice and 5f winner Seneca Chief and half-brother to 8.6f winner Mandria. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Market should indicate what is expected on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
EZRA CEE showed promise in three starts as a juvenile and he is the highest rated of those with an official mark. Having been gelded and switched yards since he was last seen, the selection starts his campaign with a virtual clean slate and his previous experience should be a telling factor. Ethandun has a tad more experience, though, and is a potential improver now tried with cheekpieces, while Accrual is bred for speed and appeals most from the newcomers.
EZRA CEE looks the safest option in a race which makes limited appeal from a betting perspective. Arkhalia Flynn and Ethandun are the obvious dangers.
This can go to EZRA CEE who showed enough in three starts last autumn to suggest he should be hard to beat if in the same form.

(2)  (3/1 +50%)Tees Spirit |
3/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tees Spirit 3/1, Seven wins from 27 Flat runs. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 17/2, creditable fifth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, good) 9 days ago. Should give it a good shot. Speedy front-runner; good win at Newmarket last month and solid run at York latest; chance. |
|||
(4)  (5/1 -11%)Desperate Hero |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Desperate Hero 5/1, C&D winner. Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, heavy, 6/1) 22 days ago. Can go well again. Game win at Goodwood three weeks ago (5f, heavy); only 1lb higher & should go well again. |
|||
(8)  (17/2 -13%)Night On Earth |
17/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Night On Earth 17/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Epsom in April. 11/1, creditable 1½ lengths fifth of 11 to Democracy Dilemma in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good) 16 days ago, worst of draw. Engaged 5.10 Goodwood Friday. Speedy front-runner; ran well from poor draw at Chester; fair 4th at Goodwood yesterday. |
|||
1st (7)  (2/1 +70%)Jumbeau |
2/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jumbeau 2/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she's one to consider. Winless since 2yo debut; travelled notably well on her return; now gets headgear; ground ?. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/4 +18%)Democracy Dilemma |
9/4(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Democracy Dilemma 9/4, Six wins from 22 Flat runs. 1 win from 1 run this year. 11/4, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at Chester (5.1f, good) 16 days ago. Also declared 2.45 York. Off the mark for new yard with narrow win at Chester; up 3lb but likely to go well again. |
|||
3rd (5)  (6/1 +45%)Intervention |
6/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Intervention 6/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Below form seventh of 21 in handicap (66/1) at York (6f, good) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. This 7-y-o is evidently more of a force on the AW. Better than ever on AW this spring; fair run at York latest but 5f probably too sharp. |
|||
4th (3)  (14/1 +0%)Thunder Moor |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Thunder Moor 14/1, Latest win at Sakhir in February. Last of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Has work to do. Dropped away tamely at Newmarket on Sunday; looks high in weights after wins in Bahrain. |
|||
5th (6)  (3/1 +57%)Navello |
3/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Navello 3/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable 1¾ lengths second of 14 to Tees Spirit in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (5f, good) 39 days ago, finishing strongly. Live each-way chance. Handicapped to win and he flashed home for 2nd behind Tees Spirit last month; contender. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
TEES SPIRIT made a winning reappearance at Newmarket and ran another fine race in a competitive sprint at York last week. He looks worth another chance and can confirm earlier running with Navello. The latter's stablemate Thunder Moor should go well, though he has a bit to prove off his current mark, while Desperate Hero scored at Goodwood recently but would ideally prefer softer going and Jumbeau is upped in class.
NAVELLO has returned from a break in top form, backing up his reappearance success on the all-weather with a creditable effort at Newmarket where he put in good late work from well off the pace to finish second to Tees Spirit. He gets the nod ahead of Jumbeau, who may well benefit from the fitting of cheekpieces and should have come on for her recent spin at Nottingham. Intervention will be a threat if on-song.
Navello should be finishing off well but DESPERATE HERO can continue his ascent of the handicapping ladder.

1st (3)  (4/1 +11%)Tony Montana |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tony Montana 4/1, Fairly useful sort who posted a career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Chester (10.3f, good) 16 days ago, travelling fluently and asserting close home. Aided by a good position then but he should give another good account nudged up 4 lb. Scored on recent seasonal debut at Chester and recent 4lb rise does not look excessive. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/1 -100%)Al Anoud |
7/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Al Anoud 7/1, Kingman filly who made a winning debut at Chelmsford (10f) in August and despite looking green under pressure, got the hang of things to follow up under a penalty at Salisbury (9.9f) a month later. In excellent hands and she promises to do better again now handicapping. Shortlisted. Unbeaten fully who won twice by narrow margins over this trip last summer; handicap debut. |
|||
3rd (8)  (9/2 +36%)Island Star |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Island Star 9/2, Much improved for his current yard this season, landing 1m Kempton maiden last spring prior to a trio of in-the-frame efforts in handicaps at up to this trip on turf. Could have more to offer at this trip having been gelded ahead of return. Third in all three handicaps (1m-1m2f); contender if tuned up after 11-month absence. |
|||
4th (6)  (16/1 -45%)Wisper |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Wisper 16/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Brighton (9.9f, good) 25 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Should give another good account up 1 lb. Ran well in defeat on seasonal debut but may find younger rivals better handicapped here. |

5th (10)  (9/1 +25%)Morcar |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Morcar 9/1, C&D winner. Had wind op/gelded, returned from 8 months off with creditable third of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Could sharpen up for that and he may be worth a try over further in due course. Made pleasing seasonal debut a fortnight ago and might be the answer. |
|||
6th (9)  (13/2 +19%)Fast Steps |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Fast Steps 13/2, Won over C&D on last year's return. Returned in good heart, creditable third of 8 in handicap back over C&D (good to soft) 26 days ago. On a handy mark and entitled to go well again. Placed twice over C&D last month and remains on a workable mark; in the mix again. |
|||
7th (1)  (22/1 +0%)Chasing Aphrodite |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chasing Aphrodite 22/1, Proved better than ever on the back of a wind op when making a winning return at Ascot (1m) last term. Shaped as if amiss both starts thereafter but did at least offer something to work on after 6 months off when eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton in March. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Won off this mark last spring but comes here in need of a boost from the new headgear. |
|||
8th (4)  (4/1 -14%)Tarjeeh |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tarjeeh 4/1, Churchill colt who made light of a 15-month absence when making it 2 wins from 3 career starts in a Wolverhampton novice (9.5f) in October. Not seen since but he remains with untapped potential now handicapping and worth considering. 2-3 in maiden/races and open to improvement on this seasonal/handicap debut. |
|||
9th (2)  (33/1 -65%)Mysterious Love |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mysterious Love 33/1, Won a Nottingham maiden (8.3f, heavy) 12 months ago and not disgraced faced with some stiff tasks thereafter. Never figured when last of 9 on return in listed race at Kempton (1m) 7 weeks ago and she looks to have work to do on handicap debut/back up in trip. Unable to make an impact in Listed/Group 3 races since last spring's maiden win. |
|||
10th (7)  (25/1 -108%)Lieber Power |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lieber Power 25/1, Lightly raced son of Cracksman who possibly needed the run after 9 months off (also gelded) when eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 13/2) 54 days ago. Needs to build on that effort stepping back up in trip. Made low-key reappearance last month and needs to get career back on track. |
|||
11th (11)  (40/1 +20%)Warning Sign |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Warning Sign 40/1, Winless for present yard but ended last season with a trio of in-the-frame efforts. However, nearer last than first in pair of AW outings in recent months and others arrive with more pressing claims. Back from layoff with two very disappointing AW runs this spring. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The novice winners Tarjeeh and Al Anoud go handicapping for the first time on their return to action and both should be noted for any significant support in the betting. However, TONY MONTANA looked an improved horse when scoring at Chester on his seasonal debut and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid from Michael Bell's charge. Wisper ran well at Brighton but this is tougher, while Island Star has been gelded since finishing third at Newmarket at the end of last year.
TARJEEH clearly hasn't been the easiest to train but he evidently possesses plenty of ability, taking his career record to 2 wins from 3 starts when successful at Wolverhampton in October. Open to further progress now handicapping, he gets the vote to make light of another absence. Al Anoud is another likely improver on return/handicap debut and is feared, with Island Star and Tony Montana completing the shortlist.
Richard Hannon's MORCAR ran well on his recent seasonal debut, and that form has been very well advertised since.

8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Elforleather 8/1, Winner at Brighton in April. Fifth of 7 in handicap back at that venue (9.9f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and not out of things here. Won at Brighton and solid fifth there latest; ought to be in the shake-up; cheekpieces on. |
|||
1st (1)  (5/2 +44%)Al Khawaneej River |
5/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Al Khawaneej River 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, ran best race in line with step up in trip when third of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) 22 days ago. Could do better again now stamina is tested further. Posted his best effort when third at Goodwood 22 days ago; can go well upped in trip. |
|||
2nd (3)  (11/4 +0%)Thrilling Dream |
11/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Thrilling Dream 11/4, Promising individual. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Bath (10.2f, good, 11/1) 10 days ago. Expected to be bang there upped further in trip. Scored on h'cap debut at Bath; more to offer with his stamina drawn out more; big shout. |
|||
3rd (8)  (12/1 -20%)Compton Bay |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Compton Bay 12/1, Good second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 12/1) 47 days ago, collared close home. Made a bright start for this yard but he may be vulnerable to less exposed sorts here. Remains winless but good second in Lingfield handicap last month; up 2lb but shortlisted. |
|||
4th (5)  (11/2 +8%)Yarborough |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Yarborough 11/2, Down the field all 4 starts at up to 1m as a juvenile but more like it back from 6 months off when good second of 7 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to soft, 7/1) 16 days ago. Could do better again. Good runner-up at Brighton 16 days ago; may do better still over this longer distance. |
|||
5th (9)  (33/1 -50%)Venus Slipper |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Venus Slipper 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others more persuasive. In good form until beating only one here 26 days ago; has her stamina to prove here too. |
|||
6th (7)  (16/1 +43%)Ardara Rose |
16/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ardara Rose 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in maiden at Newbury (10f, good to soft, 150/1) 36 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has cut little ice in three outings; she goes handicapping now with plenty more required. |
|||
7th (2)  (33/1 -65%)Quickfire |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Quickfire 33/1, First run since leaving Ed Walker when last of 12 in handicap (12/1) at this course (8.1f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Last of 12 on yard debut here on return; needs to get back on track stepped up in trip. |
|||
8th (4)  (28/1 -40%)Scottish Breeze |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Scottish Breeze 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.1f, heavy, 33/1) 19 days ago, beaten well over 1f out. Heavy ground a possible excuse then and he steps up significantly in trip now. Eighth on h'cap debut here 19 days ago; needs this step up in trip to yield improvement. |
|||
9th (11)  (8/1 +27%)Post Mistress |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Post Mistress 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in minor event (200/1) at this course (8.1f, heavy) 19 days ago. Marked step up in trip should suit now handicapping and market confidence behind her would look significant. Has been brought along very steadily; likely improver now h'capping with stamina drawn out. |
|||
10th (13)  (10/1 +50%)White Coco |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) White Coco 10/1, Nathaniel filly. Down the field all 3 starts in maiden/novice events at around 1m but she's bred to stay well and longer trip/switch to handicaps offers hope she can do better from a low opening mark. Little show in AW maidens; this stoutly bred daughter of Nathaniel can't be discounted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Compton Bay was narrowly beaten on the all-weather at Lingfield last month but THRILLING DREAM is less exposed. Ed Dunlop's charge made a winning handicap debut when upped to 1m2f at Bath and this longer trip is expected to bring further progress. Goodwood third Al Khawaneej River may well get involved dropping down a grade for this, while Yarborough posted a better effort when runner-up at Brighton and is worth a second glance.
THRILLING DREAM improved a chunk to make a winning handicap debut at Bath 10 days ago, the way he shaped then suggesting this even longer trip will be within range, and he earns the vote to follow up, possibly at the chief expense of Al Khawaneej River and Yarborough. Post Mistress and White Coco are a couple of nicely-bred fillies who may do better now their stamina is tested further in handicaps.
Lots with chances but Ed Dunlop's THRILLING DREAM (nap) still looks ahead of his mark despite a 4lb rise for his Bath success.

(3)  (9/4 +0%)Amancio |
9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Amancio 9/4, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Haydock (8f, heavy, 5/2) 28 days ago, keeping on well. Has good chance on form. Engaged 5.25 Haydock Friday. Deserved breakthrough win at Haydock last month; bold bid when 2nd there yesterday. |
|||
(10)  (50/1 -52%)Juan Solo |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Juan Solo 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tailed-off last of 10 to Calm Waters in handicap (28/1) at this C&D (heavy) 19 days ago. Hard to warm to on the back of that poor effort. In good nick without winning until last over C&D 19 days ago; others appeal more. |
|||
1st (5)  (7/2 +30%)Great Acclaim |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Great Acclaim 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, good third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago. Solid each-way chance. Taken form up a notch since handicapping, C&D third 12 days ago; very much one to consider. |
|||
2nd (8)  (25/1 -127%)Delicacy |
25/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Delicacy 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 3/1) 53 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she's worth a second look. Last on her reappearance at Wolverhampton last month; she needs to get back on track. |
|||
3rd (9)  (50/1 -150%)Magna Vega |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Magna Vega 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good) 40 days ago. Makes debut for new yard and now tried in cheekpieces. Modest form for Tom Clover; needs this yard switch to spark improvement; cheekpieces go on. |
|||
4th (7)  (7/2 +59%)Sugarloaf Lenny |
7/2(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sugarloaf Lenny 7/2, Lightly-raced winner. Respectable ninth of 19 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 50/1) 21 days ago. Likely to find a few of these too good. Not disgraced when returning ninth at Newmarket; in the mix back over 1m. |
|||
5th (11)  (5/4 +58%)Calm Waters |
5/4(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Calm Waters 5/4, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy, 2/1) 19 days ago, slowly away. Strong claims. Overcame tardy start to cosily land C&D handicap; up 4lb but merits serious consideration. |
|||
6th (1)  (50/1 -100%)Treasure Storm |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Treasure Storm 50/1, Lightly-raced winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Brighton (7f, good) 24 days ago. Others make greater appeal. Off 12 months before beating only one at Brighton 24 days ago; can take a step forward. |
|||
7th (2)  (8/1 +27%)Let's Get Em |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Let's Get Em 8/1, Unreliable sort. 6/1, last of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago. Opposable on the back of that display. Unreliable sort who hung badly left when last over C&D 12 days ago; has something to prove. |
|||
8th (4)  (18/1 -13%)Too Much Trevor |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Too Much Trevor 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 4 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to soft, 17/2) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and needs to raise his game a notch or two. Not discredited on return with Doncaster third; shortlisted with cheekpieces added. |
|||
9th (6)  (40/1 -82%)Frightening |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Frightening 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Ralph Beckett when 23¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Amancio in handicap (13/2) at Haydock (8f, heavy) 28 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Beat only one on her yard/handicap debut at Haydock; she needs to take a big step forward. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Calm Waters races on a faster surface than when successful over track and trip recently, and it could be the turn of GREAT ACCLAIM in this. The latter caught the eye finishing strongly for third in similar company here last time and Georgia Dobie's 3lb allowance helps his cause on this occasion. Treasure Storm will be sharper for a recent reappearance and it would be no surprise to see a better effort from her.
CALM WATERS has improved switched to handicaps for new connections this season, runner-up over C&D on return last month prior to going one better back here 19 days ago. She looks capable of going in again off a 4 lb higher mark. With Amancio due to run at Haydock on Friday, Great Acclaim and Delicacy rate the main dangers.
Rod Millman's CALM WATERS has really kicked on since switched to handicaps and can defy a 4lb rise to follow up her recent C&D win.

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.
