1st (5) (2.5/1 +17%) Aphelios |
2.5/1(+17%) | (5) Aphelios 2.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 2/1, second of 5 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW) 25 days ago. Very much of interest on handicap/turf debut for respected yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7.5/1 +12%) Applaud Now |
7.5/1(+12%) | (3) Applaud Now 7.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap (4/1) at Leicester (7f, good) 30 days ago. This reduced mark looks a potentially handy one judged on his efforts in maiden/novice company. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (1.62/1 +28%) Silks Pass |
1.62/1(+28%) | (2) Silks Pass 1.62/1, Promising sort. 13/2, very good sixth of 13 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 30 days ago, hampered. 1 lb lower now and there may well be better to come from this colt now tried over 6f. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/1 +7%) Obtain |
7/1(+7%) | (1) Obtain 7/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March. 66/1, First run following a wind op when 7¾ lengths twelfth of 15 to White Lavender in listed race at Bath (5f, good to soft) 39 days ago. This is more realistic, but others make more appeal all the same. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (25/1 -79%) Manettino |
25/1(-79%) | (4) Manettino 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 8 in nursery (40/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good). Off 8 months (has been gelded) and will be a player if able to get back on track, but fair to say that he now has a bit to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (5.5/1 -22%) Whistledown |
5.5/1(-22%) | (7) Whistledown 5.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm, 15/2) 6 days ago. Off the same mark here, it's likely that she'll be on the premises. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (125/1 -346%) Rosequiano |
125/1(-346%) | (8) Rosequiano 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 13/2). Off 130 days ahead of this handicap debut and needs to raise her game. Yard also saddles Manettino. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (28/1 -56%) Banana |
28/1(-56%) | (6) Banana 28/1, Sixth of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/2) 76 days ago and this filly again looks vulnerable from a win point of view, for all that she's well-handicapped judged on early-season 2-y-o form when in the care of Martyn Meade. |

1st (7) (3.5/1 +50%) Resilience |
3.5/1(+50%) | (7) Resilience 3.5/1, Latest win at Kempton in March. 16/1, last of 6 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Evidence so far suggests that he's a more accomplished performer on the AW. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4.5/1 -35%) Navello |
4.5/1(-35%) | (4) Navello 4.5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. Fourth of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Chester (5.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Down 2 lb and he has to enter calculations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

50/1(-25%) | (8) Harb 50/1, 33/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago. Down in trip and visored for 1st time, he needs to bounce back in a major way. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5.5/1(+8%) | (5) High Velocity 5.5/1, Two wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in March. Last of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft, 4/1) 44 days ago.

3/1(+14%) | (6) Rum Cocktail 3/1, Thrice-raced winner. 9/4, second of 10 in minor event at Bath (5f, good), making effort earlier than ideal. Open to improvement on this return/handicap debut and she's high on the shortlist. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5/1(+17%) | (2) Anythingtoday 5/1, 16/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good) 23 days ago. Mark has fallen and went close on the AW penultimate start. Blinkers replace cheekpieces. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

3.5/1(-17%) | (4) Group One Power 3.5/1, Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good to soft, 8/1) 18 days ago, shaping better than result. Down a tad further in the weights and could figure. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

10th (8) (20/1 +39%) Sense Of Worth |
20/1(+39%) | (8) Sense Of Worth 20/1, 12/1, first run since leaving Andrew Oliver when fifth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 34 days ago, racing freely. Back down in trip. Tough to assess back on turf. |

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.
