---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (28/1 +15%) Zoulu Chief |
28/1(+15%) | (5) Zoulu Chief 28/1, Seen to maximum effect when causing a shock at Newbury in May but failed to beat a rival home in Coventry Stakes. Failed to handle the track when well held at Goodwood. 150-1 win on second start; excuses the next twice but now needs to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1.75/1 +71%) Pink Satin |
1.75/1(+71%) | (2) Pink Satin 1.75/1, Churchill filly. Closely related to smart winner up to 1½m Highland Chief. Well prepared to make a winning debut over C&D om June and similar form when third under a penalty a fortnight later. Retains potential in nurseries. Won over C&D on debut and third next time to subsequent Listed winner; makes nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3.33/1 +5%) Chinese Knot |
3.33/1(+5%) | (1) Chinese Knot 3.33/1, Breakthrough win in Racing League opener at Yarmouth (5.2f) last month and doubled tally at Chepstow over 6f a week ago, keeping on well. Penalty unlikely to prevent very bold hat-trick bid. Arrives on a hat-trick and 6lb penalty for latest win may not stop her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5.5/1 +21%) Eminny |
5.5/1(+21%) | (3) Eminny 5.5/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning novice at Beverley (7.4f, good) and didn't have to improve much when following up on nursery bow at Leicester last month. Back at a more suitable level and found only Chinese Knot too good at Chepstow. 3l second to Chinese Knot last week; could be suited by a strongly run race at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (12/1 +40%) Mauna Loa |
12/1(+40%) | (7) Mauna Loa 12/1, Strong at the finish when making first start over 6f a winning one at Pontefract in June. Easy to back and beaten a long way out on nursery debut at Goodwood. Well beaten in Goodwood nursery but on good to soft; won at Pontefract previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (14/1 -27%) Acer |
14/1(-27%) | (11) Acer 14/1, Harry Angel filly who stepped up on debut experience despite lingering signs of greenness when third of 12 in 5f maiden here last month. Disappointing favourite at Chepstow 3 weeks ago but in the right hands to bounce back. Third on all three starts and in good hands to progress; not discounted on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (40/1 -150%) Smooth Silesie |
40/1(-150%) | (12) Smooth Silesie 40/1, Runner-up on debut and stepped up slightly in form terms when third of 12 in maiden at Catterick last month. Must cast aside a heavy defeat back at that venue 3 weeks ago. Better could have been expected last time but she retains potential on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (40/1 -150%) Magnificent Match |
40/1(-150%) | (10) Magnificent Match 40/1, Return to 6f will suit but mark looks harsh on what he's displayed in his qualifying runs. Showed promise on second start but disappointing at Yarmouth since; nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (5/1 +23%) Loaded Gun |
5/1(+23%) | (6) Loaded Gun 5/1, Found improvement when taking heavy-ground minor event at Chester (5.1f). Unable to land a blow on nursery debut but looks well worth another try over 6f. Didn't run badly on nursery debut given he was detached early; things may click again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (16/1 -33%) Petra Celera |
16/1(-33%) | (9) Petra Celera 16/1, Didn't need to improve to win 12-runner maiden at Catterick (6f, good) last month. Just a fair third under a penalty back over 5f last time and limit looks pretty well established. Cheekpieces on. Won Catterick maiden; return to 6f and new cheekpieces could be positives on nursery debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Chinese Knot is 2-2 under Saffie Osborne in the Racing League series and, having won with plenty in hand at Chepstow last week, a 6lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold effort. However, several of these have potential, with none appealing more than LOADED GUN, who fared best of those who clashed in a class 2 nursery at Goodwood 13 days ago. Zoulu Chief and Mauna Loa look held on a literal reading of that form, so the lightly-weighted Acer completes the shortlist.
PINK SATIN is bred to be better than this grade and was talented enough to make a winning debut over C&D in June. There should be more to come on this, her third start and she's marginally preferred to Chinese Knot, who chases a Racing League hat-trick. Loaded Gun can be forgiven his latest run at Goodwood and completes the shortlist.
Topweight CHINESE KNOT is taken to land the hat-trick having won by 3l when upped to 6f at Chepstow last Thursday.

1st (11) (4.5/1 +36%) Capote's Dream |
4.5/1(+36%) | (11) Capote's Dream 4.5/1, Prolific in 2021 but winless since. However, more of an impact off reduced mark when second at Goodwood 12 days ago, finishing well. Respected. Fine record over C&D and ran well at Goodwood latest; losing run of 15 a slight concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (10/1 -25%) Antiphon |
10/1(-25%) | (7) Antiphon 10/1, Won over 5f here on soft in May and also placed over C&D twice, including 10 days ago. Should be thereabouts again. Goes well here and finished 3rd in a good C&D handicap ten days ago; each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 -20%) Expert Agent |
12/1(-20%) | (4) Expert Agent 12/1, Completed hat-trick at Lingfield in April. Good fourth over C&D last time and back down in class now. AW hat-trick early in the year; recent turf defeats have come in strong races; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4.5/1 +50%) Aphelios |
4.5/1(+50%) | (1) Aphelios 4.5/1, Yet to hit top form this season, though was far from disgraced in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood 12 days ago, and this C&D winner is not taken lightly back down in class. C&D winner; showed plenty of speed in the Stewards' Cup latest; down in class; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5/1 +29%) Conquistador |
5/1(+29%) | (5) Conquistador 5/1, Off the mark on first run for new yard in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on Boxing Day before following up on handicap debut at Lingfield 12 weeks later. Fine third in handicap at Royal Ascot next time but down the field at Newmarket since. Can bounce back. Flopped at Newmarket last time but his first 3 runs for the yard make him of some interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (11/1 +21%) Treacherous |
11/1(+21%) | (9) Treacherous 11/1, Scored at Newbury in June and has generally held his form since, nearest at the finish over C&D 10 days ago. Player if things drop right. Below par last time but this season's best efforts bring him right into the reckoning. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (12/1 +40%) Rathbone |
12/1(+40%) | (6) Rathbone 12/1, Yet to score this term but plenty of respectable efforts for his new yard. Latest tenth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket wasn't one of them, though. Bounce back needed. Well handicapped on even this season's best but gone quiet on last two starts; widest draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (16/1 -78%) Bernardo O'Reilly |
16/1(-78%) | (2) Bernardo O'Reilly 16/1, Scored at Newbury in April and has continued in good nick, fourth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark. On a good mark but his claims would be more compelling on softer ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (25/1 -127%) Estate |
25/1(-127%) | (12) Estate 25/1, Opened account at the eighth attempt in handicap at Salisbury (5f) in May and resumed winning ways at Windsor a month ago. Easy to forgive latest run at Goodwood. Two 5f wins this year, one here, and had an excuse (ground) latest; 6f a question mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (12/1 -20%) Call Me Ginger |
12/1(-20%) | (3) Call Me Ginger 12/1, Scored 3 times last year, notably the Portland at Doncaster. Yet to fire this term but is becoming well treated and wasn't seen to best effect last 2 starts. Tempting. On a dangerous mark and returning to 6f will suit; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (12/1 -50%) Magical Merlin |
12/1(-50%) | (10) Magical Merlin 12/1, Won by 4 lengths at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in June and quickly back on track when narrowly denied at Epsom (6f, good) in first-time blinkers (retained) 35 days ago. High on shortlist. C&D winner; improved for blinkers when 2nd at Epsom latest; this demands even more of him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (40/1 -60%) Bear Profit |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Bear Profit 40/1, Below par all 4 runs this season and needs the fitting of headgear to have a positive effect. Not matched 2022 form so far this year; headgear now reached for; others less risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (12/1 +25%) Mattice |
12/1(+25%) | (13) Mattice 12/1, Some respectable efforts in defeat this term and has now dipped below last winning mark. Stuck in the mud at Thirsk latest. Beaten 12 times since his Racing League win last summer (5f); others look stronger. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
George Boughey picked up a live-wire when he took over the training of CONQUISTADOR and, given he had a legitimate excuse for a disappointing run at Newmarket last month (he never recovered after stumbling at the start), the lightly-raced gelding has a good chance of getting back on track. His commendable third-placed finish in the Palace of Hollyroodhouse Stakes at Royal Ascot is hard to ignore and a repeat of that level could suffice. Expert Agent, Antiphon and Bernardo O'Reilly are feared most.
Plenty to consider but it could be worth chancing CALL ME GINGER, who is lurking on a dangerous mark. Aphelios is feared back down in class along with 3-y-os Magical Merlin and Conquistador.
Several contenders of note but veteran TREACHEROUS may be able to pounce late and get the better of Aphelios.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (14) (10/1 +17%) Show Me Show Me |
10/1(+17%) | (14) Show Me Show Me 10/1, Returned to form in a first-time visor to land 9-runner handicap at Beverley (5f, soft) 16 days ago. Merits consideration nudged up only 1 lb if the headgear works the oracle again. Travelled better in a visor last time and did well to collar the front-runner; big chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/1 +17%) Lil Guff |
10/1(+17%) | (1) Lil Guff 10/1, Likeable filly who has already scored twice this year and is likely to put a sub-par run at Ascot last time behind her. Deserves respect. Not at her best the last twice but perhaps the return to faster ground will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (3.5/1 +61%) Clipsham La Habana |
3.5/1(+61%) | (9) Clipsham La Habana 3.5/1, Arrives in good nick, second of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good) 30 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up once more off the same mark. Progressive sprinter but has his first crack at 5f in a race chock full of pace. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/1 +42%) Looking For Lynda |
7/1(+42%) | (2) Looking For Lynda 7/1, Got back on track with cheekpieces on for 1st time when third of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Can race off a 2 lb lower mark now so he needs considering with the headgear retained. Two wins at 2yrs; handicapper on top this year but down in class today; other pace in here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 -17%) Thunder Moor |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Thunder Moor 14/1, Fairly useful 5f juvenile winner for Kevin Ryan. Shaping up well for for his new yard until beating only one on soft ground at Goodwood 14 days ago. Could still have more to offer so he merits serious consideration. Good chance if reproducing his Yarmouth third from three weeks ago; wide draw not ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (14/1 +13%) Lulworth Cove |
14/1(+13%) | (6) Lulworth Cove 14/1, Landed 6f handicap at Lingfield in June but he's failed to beat a rival on both runs since, last of 10 at Chester (6.1f, heavy) 33 days ago. Has it to prove. Easy winner in June (6f, AW) but disappointed twice since; drops back in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (18/1 -13%) Water Of Leith |
18/1(-13%) | (13) Water Of Leith 18/1, Winless this term and he came in a below-form fifth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 44 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. On a good mark and likely to find this being run to suit; one for the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (4.5/1 +18%) Libra Tiger |
4.5/1(+18%) | (12) Libra Tiger 4.5/1, Finally broke his run of seconds with a stylish win in 7-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 21 days ago. Up 5 lb but another bold showing is on the cards. Strong at the finish at Sandown dropped to 5f last time; up 5lb in a better race today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (9/1 +25%) Copper Knight |
9/1(+25%) | (4) Copper Knight 9/1, 5f scorer at York and Pontefract in July before posting a respectable third of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, heavy) 11 days ago. This tough veteran can't be ruled out. Added 2 more wins to his tally this summer; solid 3rd latest; maybe wouldn't want it quick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (8/1 +0%) Another Baar |
8/1(+0%) | (7) Another Baar 8/1, Bagged his third success of the campaign at Beverley in June. Ran well in a first-time visor when third at Goodwood last time so he's one for the shortlist with the headgear retained. Made fine progress this season; latest Goodwood 3rd another step forward; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (14/1 -180%) Crimson Angel |
14/1(-180%) | (8) Crimson Angel 14/1, Improving Harry Angel filly who followed up her ready Lingfield maiden win with emphatic success in 5f Southwell novice in the spring. Back from 163-day lay-off now but she's entitled to progress further and worth considering. Makes handicap debut in a warm sprint but she's 2-2 this year and still has some potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (18/1 -80%) Holkham Bay |
18/1(-80%) | (10) Holkham Bay 18/1, Successful at Lingfield (6f) last summer and improved again making his turf debut when second in minor event at Doncaster in July. Only ninth though on soft ground on his handicap bow at Goodwood since but he's worth another chance under these less testing conditions. Unexposed 3yo who should appreciate the return to better ground; yard relatively quiet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (40/1 -100%) Eeh Bah Gum |
40/1(-100%) | (11) Eeh Bah Gum 40/1, Made a winning stable debut in 5f handicap at Lingfield and not disgraced off a 3 lb higher mark when fourth of 9 at Newmarket (5f, good) 27 days ago. Holds sound claims again. Made a winning stable debut last month but seemed to be beaten fair and square latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A crackerjack of a sprint, in which the likes of the progressive Crimson Angel, the in-form Libra Tiger and recent Lingfield winner Eeh Bah Gum all command respect. However, there could be much more to come from ANOTHER BAAR, who showed plenty of zest when tried in a visor in a higher grade at Goodwood last time. With the headgear retained, he offers strong appeal, which is further enhanced by Danny Sheehy's 3lb claim.
Lots with chances so at the likely odds it is worth siding with THUNDER MOOR, who was shaping up well for George Boughey until underperforming in the mud at Goodwood and can bounce back in style. Libra Tiger is weighted to go well despite taking a 5 lb rise for his recent Sandown success and could emerge as the chief threat, although last-time winners Show Me Show Me and Crimson Angel must enter calculations too. Clipsham La Habana completes the shortlist in a very competitive sprint.
A visor helped SHOW ME SHOW ME (nap) at Beverley and he can make light of a 1lb rise in a race that should be run to suit.

1st (4) (22/1 -22%) Pjanoo |
22/1(-22%) | (4) Pjanoo 22/1, Fair maiden who was a good second of 4 on his handicap debut/reappearance at Haydock (1¼m, good to firm) in June. Not in the same form when down the field at Newmarket since. Bounce back needed in first-time cheekpieces. Ran well on reappearance in June but well beaten at Newmarket since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3.33/1 +49%) Hat Toss |
3.33/1(+49%) | (3) Hat Toss 3.33/1, Got off the mark with a career-best effort in 9-runner handicap at Sandown (7f, good) in June. Respectable fifth of 8 at Newmarket (7f again) the following week. Stays 1m. Won comfortably at Sandown in June and subsequent defeat may have come too soon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 -25%) Man Of Eden |
5/1(-25%) | (1) Man Of Eden 5/1, AW maiden winner on yard debut in January. Has drawn a blank in handicaps since but there have been several good efforts. Looked unlucky not to finish a bit closer when third of 17 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, soft) a fortnight ago. Should go well again. Consistent sort who was third of 17 at Goodwood and can be bang there once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (5.5/1 +31%) Magic Memories |
5.5/1(+31%) | (7) Magic Memories 5.5/1, Improved when length third in a C&D novice at the beginning of July. Not in quite the same form when a well-held second at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) since but remains unexposed now handicapping. Best novice effort came when third over C&D; may be in the mix on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (5.5/1 -22%) Zoukster |
5.5/1(-22%) | (11) Zoukster 5.5/1, Much improved since handicapping, making it 3 wins in his last 4 starts when seeing off 7 rivals at Newbury (7f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Further 2 lb nudge unlikely to prevent another prominent showing now stepping up to 1m for the first time. Three wins from his last four starts and this progressive sort is one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (6.5/1 +19%) Red Treasure |
6.5/1(+19%) | (6) Red Treasure 6.5/1, Made a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in June. Respectable fourth of 8 at Newmarket later that month. Given a bit of time since and shapes as if she'll stay 1m. Got up close home over 7f at Yarmouth and saddle slipped at Newmarket next time; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (10/1 +38%) Lady Mojito |
10/1(+38%) | (8) Lady Mojito 10/1, Fairly useful form. 16/1, respectable tenth of 18 in handicap at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) 16 days ago. Merely mid-division when upped to 1m at Goodwood last time & others look more progressive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (10/1 +9%) Chealamy |
10/1(+9%) | (2) Chealamy 10/1, Belatedly built on reappearance promise when winning 13-runner handicap at Newbury (1m) in June. Good second at Newmarket (1m) next time and shaped as if still in form when fourth over 1¼m here last month. Not discounted. In good form over 1m prior to lesser run over 1m2f; drops back down in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (20/1 -233%) Achillea |
20/1(-233%) | (9) Achillea 20/1, Unexposed sort who upped her game again when winning Race 3 of this series at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Only nudged up 1 lb so ought to remain very competitive. Won on good to soft at Yarmouth; thereabouts if the return to better ground isn't an issue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (25/1 -56%) Rievaulx Raver |
25/1(-56%) | (10) Rievaulx Raver 25/1, Came in for a good ride when dead-heating in 1m Ripon handicap in June and comfortably held off his revised mark since. Others are more obvious. The drop back down in trip may help but he looks exposed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A fairly open contest in which preference is for the unexposed MAGIC MEMORIES. The gelded son of Starspangledbanner makes his handicap debut following a second-placed effort over 7f at Lingfield last month and he shaped as though he could benefit from a stiffer stamina test on that occasion. Last-time-out winner Achillea should not be taken lightly off 1lb higher, while the class-dropping Man Of Eden is another to bear in mind.
ZOUKSTER is on a roll and a further 2 lb rise may not prevent him adding to Wales & The West's lead at the top of the table. Man of Eden has recorded several good efforts in handicaps this summer and is a must for the shortlist. Dean Ivory's Achillea is going the right way and she should also go well as she bids for a second win in this series having struck at Yarmouth on the opening night.
There can be optimism the step up to 1m will prompt further improvement from RED TREASURE, whose saddle slipped at Newmarket.

1st (10) (9/1 +10%) Just Bring It |
9/1(+10%) | (10) Just Bring It 9/1, Off the mark at Kempton in March and shaped well in a valuable 3-y-o handicap at Haydock in May. Shade disappointing down in grade back there since but was left poorly placed and can't be written off after a break. Two good runs in 1m handicaps in May; below par last time and drawn widest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (9/1 +36%) Farasi Lane |
9/1(+36%) | (7) Farasi Lane 9/1, Second success of the year when edging ahead close home at Ascot in July. That form has been boosted since and latest effort (missed the break) at Goodwood is probably best excused, so he's no forlorn hope. Ignore latest start (heavy) and he comes right into it on his earlier 7f Ascot win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (5/1 +64%) Ana Gold |
5/1(+64%) | (8) Ana Gold 5/1, Better than ever on just second outing for current yard when winning a handicap over the extended 1m at Beverley in July but didn't really back it up at Newbury since. Others make more appeal. Won a Class 4 fillies' handicap last month; less good at Newbury latest; others stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (20/1 -82%) Sirjack Thomas |
20/1(-82%) | (11) Sirjack Thomas 20/1, Latest win at the Curragh in May. 9/2, respectable fifth of 16 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Finds himself in another competitive affair, but likely to give a good account. Inconsistent this year but form such as his Curragh win in May brings him right into it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (6.5/1 +13%) Maywake |
6.5/1(+13%) | (1) Maywake 6.5/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (3/1) at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Likeable type who makes plenty of appeal once more despite an 8-lb rise. Bolted up on soft at Thirsk 12 days ago (7f); stamina to prove but he's considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (6/1 +40%) Metabolt |
6/1(+40%) | (4) Metabolt 6/1, Scored over C&D in June and shaped promisingly at Haydock next time. Lesser effort at Galway a fortnight ago but big player back on these shores. Progressive form hit rocks latest but at Galway Festival; could still be ahead of his mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (4/1 +38%) Chartwell House |
4/1(+38%) | (2) Chartwell House 4/1, Didn't always look entirely straightforward at 2 yrs but there are no concerns in that regard on this season's evidence. Impressive from the front at Haydock in June and found only one too good there next time. Likely to go well once more. Improved showings over 7f at Haydock this summer; stamina to prove & yard relatively quiet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (14/1 +30%) Stormbuster |
14/1(+30%) | (3) Stormbuster 14/1, Won a novice over this trip last autumn but has been below form so far this term. Struggled this year but the handicapper is relenting; 2yo promise is not yet forgotten. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (40/1 -186%) Strongbowe |
40/1(-186%) | (12) Strongbowe 40/1, Enhanced a good record at Carlisle when landing 5-runner handicap there in July and wasn't disgraced when fifth at York last time. Not completely dismissed. Running well at Carlisle this summer; may need more emphasis on stamina. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (7/1 -8%) Mobashr |
7/1(-8%) | (9) Mobashr 7/1, In excellent form for his current yard since the hood went on, scoring at Doncaster in July placed both suubsequent starts, runner-up at Ascot last time. Another bold showing is on the cards. Comes here in good form but edging back up the weights and others look stronger. |

11th (14) (33/1 -106%) Kimifive |
33/1(-106%) | (14) Kimifive 33/1, Gained his first win in over 3 years at Epsom last season. Has edged back to a reasonable mark while shaping better than the result this season, so not one to write off. Seemed to stay this far at Epsom latest but looks vulnerable at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (28/1 +15%) Power Of Darkness |
28/1(+15%) | (13) Power Of Darkness 28/1, Becoming well treated and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Chepstow a week ago. Claims if he can build on that. Generally struggled last 13 months; down in the weights but easy enough to swerve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (25/1 -79%) Shockwaves |
25/1(-79%) | (5) Shockwaves 25/1, Created a good impression when making a winning return at Lingfield in May but has been a touch disappointing since. Easy winner (well backed) on his return; something to prove after two lesser efforts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
An emphatic winner over 7f on his most recent outing, an 8lb rise may not be enough to stop Maywake being in the mix upped in distance. However, CHARTWELL HOUSE is rated 5lb higher than the Thirsk winner but carries 1lb less, courtesy of his weight-for-age allowance, and he can get the better of Richard Fahey's inmate with that in mind. Mobashr is another to consider following a decent second over 7f at Ascot last month.
METABOLT was shaping up well prior to a lesser effort (with excuses) at the Galway festival last time and he's fancied to get back to winning ways for all that this is a competitive affair. Recent Thirsk winner Maywake is a danger and Mobashr is likely to go well.
He disappointed at Galway last time but METABOLT had been on the up before that and can win this from Metal Merchant.

1st (12) (2.25/1 +25%) Gallant Lion |
2.25/1(+25%) | (12) Gallant Lion 2.25/1, Upwardly-mobile gelding arrives seeking a 4-timer, his third successive win coming at Sandown (10f, good to soft, 3/1) 22 days ago. Form of that event and previous Newbury success (second and fifth both winners nex time) looks strong and he's likely got even more to offer here. Progressive 3yo who has won his last three and there's lots to like about his chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (8.5/1 +39%) The Whipmaster |
8.5/1(+39%) | (3) The Whipmaster 8.5/1, Improved last season, completing 4-timer in the first half of the year. Took advantage of a falling mark when also scoring at Windsor in June but both subsequent outings have been underwhelming and others are more convincing at present. 3-time course winner, the latest in June, but well beaten the last twice (including C&D). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (4.5/1 -13%) Fulfilled |
4.5/1(-13%) | (8) Fulfilled 4.5/1, Progressive son of Ulysses who made it 2 wins from 3 starts for the campaign under a confident hands-and-heels ride at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 54 days ago. Likely that there's better still to come and he's highly respected from 5 lb higher mark. Has won two of his last three starts and this progressive 4yo has strong claims once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7.5/1 +46%) Stay Well |
7.5/1(+46%) | (1) Stay Well 7.5/1, Returned to form back on AW when third at Kempton (12f) in June and didn't shape too badly when down the field in Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot on next start, his effort made earlier than ideal. Predictably failed to stay over 2m at Newbury last time and wouldn't be fully ruled out back in trip. Well beaten the last twice but he's back down in trip/grade today and is not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (10/1 -25%) Wynter Wildes |
10/1(-25%) | (9) Wynter Wildes 10/1, Supplemented June's Haydock success with a career-best victory in 7-runner handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 19 days ago. Effectively 8 lb higher here with Shepherd replacing claimer but looks capable off giving another good account. AW win three weeks ago; also scored on turf in June but needs a grass career best today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (22/1 +12%) Noble Masquerade |
22/1(+12%) | (10) Noble Masquerade 22/1, Dual winner over this C&D but hasn't scored since landing the second of those victories in April 2022 and has to shrug off a poor performance at Sandown last time. Has something to find with blinkers reapplied. Something to prove regarding current form but this two-time C&D winner isn't written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (33/1 -32%) Bollin Margaret |
33/1(-32%) | (11) Bollin Margaret 33/1, Justified strong support to notch her second win of the season at Pontefract last month before finding the heavy against her when attempting to defy a penalty at Thirsk. This is stronger company than she usually keeps, though, and others are preferred. Two wins this year but she may be vulnerable off her current mark in this competitive race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (20/1 -25%) Phantasy Mac |
20/1(-25%) | (7) Phantasy Mac 20/1, Improver in handicaps last year, bagging fifth career victory on final start at Kempton (1m) in October. Placed 3 times on AW before finding good spell coming to halt at York (7.9f, good) 20 days ago. Markedly up in trip. Untested at the trip but the return of cheekpieces could help and she's not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (33/1 -65%) Dark Pine |
33/1(-65%) | (2) Dark Pine 33/1, Winless since 2021 but went close at Chester in May. Hasn't landed a blow in 3 outings since, though, and he needs a couple to falter despite reapplication of blinkers. Went close at Chester in May and now 2lb lower, but below best on his three runs since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (12/1 +0%) Furzig |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Furzig 12/1, Capitalised on drop in weights when landing back-to-back Catterick handicaps (12f) last autumn. Similar form in defeat both outings this season, running creditably when fifth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to soft) 21 days ago, but others perhaps possess greater scope for progress. Reappeared with creditable third at York; steady pace against him at Yarmouth last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (4.5/1 +68%) Tuxedo Junction |
4.5/1(+68%) | (4) Tuxedo Junction 4.5/1, Placed 3 times from 5 starts this season and shaped as if still in good heart when sixth of 11 in handicap at Sandown (10f, soft) 21 days ago, doing too much too soon on the front end. Frame claims again. Below par last time but each-way claims judged on earlier form (including here). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Similar to his jockey Saffie Osborne, GALLANT LION can do little wrong at present and the step up in trip may eke out further improvement as he looks to bring up the four-timer. A comfortable winner at Lingfield latest, Fulfilled can give him the most to think about, while Graignes, who could not have done it any easier at Kempton in June, is noted too. The Whipmaster and Wynter Wildes have the form to get involved as well.
GALLANT LION is improving at a rate that the handicapper hasn't been able to keep up with and, receiving weight all round here, Tony Carroll's progressive 3-y-o is fancied to extend his winning streak to 4 in a row. The similarly progressive Fulfilled was an easy winner at Lingfield last time and rates as a serious threat, whilst last-time-out winners Wynter Wildes and Graignes also make appeal in a competitive heat.
The progressive 3yo GALLANT LION has won on his last three starts and is taken to land the four-timer. Fulfilled is second choice.

1st (1) (4.5/1 +44%) Spirit Dancer |
4.5/1(+44%) | (1) Spirit Dancer 4.5/1, Goes well at York and, following a respectable effort in the John Smith's Cup, won the same handicap for the second year running with a ready success there (10.2f) 20 days ago. Now up to a career-high mark but he can give another good account. Reliable 1m2f specialist whose win at York three weeks ago represented career-best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (4.5/1 -13%) Tiffany |
4.5/1(-13%) | (13) Tiffany 4.5/1, Made a winning handicap debut at this C&D on her penultimate outing and improved again when completing the hat-trick at Newcastle 19 days ago. Well on top at the finish last time and she can take the step up in grade in her stride. Goes for four-timer off another 9lb higher in a hot race but with more improvement in her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (8/1 +33%) Tregony |
8/1(+33%) | (7) Tregony 8/1, Took her record on all-weather to 4 wins from 6 starts when successful at Newcastle (10.2f) on her final outing last year. Shaped encouragingly on return when fourth at Beverley in June, but went backwards from that effort at Sandown last time. Needs to resume her progress. Not so good last time and needs overall improvement given the depth of today's opposition. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (14/1 -56%) Dream Harder |
14/1(-56%) | (8) Dream Harder 14/1, Has won 5 times since joining his current yard last winter, wasting no time getting back to form with a first success on turf at Chester (11.3f) last month. Up in grade but he can give his running once more. Better than ever at Chester (1m3f, soft) five weeks ago for first turf win; up another 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (16/1 -60%) Teumessias Fox |
16/1(-60%) | (2) Teumessias Fox 16/1, Much improved back from a gelding operation this spring, winning 12f handicaps at Kempton and Newmarket. Below-par efforts next 2 starts but back on track when fourth of 7 in Glorious Stakes at Goodwood, left with a lot to do. Interesting with cheekpieces on first time. Player if back to spring 1m4f form; first 1m2f run since May 2022 and headgear first time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (5/1 +44%) Star Harbour |
5/1(+44%) | (5) Star Harbour 5/1, Back up in trip, produced a career best when getting back to winning ways in Racing League event at Chepstow (10f) a week ago, keeping on well. Carries a penalty but he's shortlisted with a good-value claimer now on board. Never better than when winning a 1m2f Racing League contest at Chepstow last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (28/1 -75%) Mostawaa |
28/1(-75%) | (9) Mostawaa 28/1, Capitalised on much-reduced mark at Brighton (1m) in May and has backed up that effort both starts since, again showing a good attitude when completing his hat-trick at Carlisle (7.8f) 50 days ago. Goes back up in grade/trip, but remains on a workable mark based on old form. On a roll but has had seven goes at 1m2f (latest last September) and not been at his best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (4/1 +38%) Reach |
4/1(+38%) | (11) Reach 4/1, Shaped well at York in May and built on that effort when scoring readily at Nottingham (10.2f) the following month. Had plenty to spare when defying a penalty at Beverley (9.9f) a week later, so she's not taken lightly in her hat-trick bid. Up another 6lb and over two months off but there was a lot to like about last two displays. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (33/1 -65%) Pledge Of Honour |
33/1(-65%) | (12) Pledge Of Honour 33/1, Won 4 times in 2022 and has made the frame 3 times this season, runner-up at Doncaster and York in June before faring of those held up when fourth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (10f) in July. However, never threatened at Chepstow last time, so has work to do upped in class. Needs to be in peak form and he failed to shine on his three previous visits to this track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (20/1 +39%) Marie's Diamond |
20/1(+39%) | (6) Marie's Diamond 20/1, It's now 28 runs since his last win in 2021 but showed that he still retains plenty of dash when runner-up in handicap at York (10.2f) in May. However, has finished down the field both starts since, well held in John Smith's Cup at the same C&D last time. No win since July 2021; clear pick of his 2023 efforts when beaten a neck at York in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (11/1 -69%) Cumulonimbus |
11/1(-69%) | (4) Cumulonimbus 11/1, Has continued his progress with cheekpieces applied this year, winning 3 of his last 4 starts. Gained a victory in the Racing League when making all at Yarmouth (10.1f) 3 weeks ago and he can make another bold bid in his current form. Made all in three of four starts with cheekpieces; it's hard to rule out further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (25/1 -25%) The City's Phantom |
25/1(-25%) | (10) The City's Phantom 25/1, Built up an excellent record when fresh (all 3 career victories at Yarmouth) but this time he stepped up markedly on his reappearance when third at Epsom (10.1f) in re-fitted cheekpieces in June. However, he had the run of the race last time, so will need to find more. Third at Epsom on Oaks day was creditable; likely to find this race a bit too competitive. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A difficult puzzle to solve, with slight preference for the progressive REACH, who has been a taking winner on her last two starts and may not have reached her ceiling of ability just yet. The admirable Cumulonimbus won a similar contest to this at Yarmouth and must be considered, along with Spirit Dancer, who won really well at York last time. Irish raider Star Harbour is entitled to be thereabouts, as well as the in-form Mostawaa.
TIFFANY has shown improved form this year, well on top at the finish when completing her hat-trick at Newcastle last time, and she can score again with further progress still to come. Sir Mark Prescott's 3-y-o is taken to get the better of Reach, who isn't taken lightly having won her last 2 starts, with Star Harbour completing the shortlist.
This is fiercely competitive but REACH looks set for better still in her hat-trick bid. She gets the vote ahead of Spirit Dancer.

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.
