1st (6)  (5/6 +33%)Manara |
5/6(+33%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Manara 5/6, Promising type. 2/1, career best when winning 10-runner nursery at Chelmsford City (8f) 4 days ago, slowly away. Leading claims under a penalty. Ready winner at Chelmsford last Thursday; back out quickly under a penalty; big player.. |
|||
2nd (9)  (16/1 -60%)Sol Argent |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sol Argent 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, ninth of 12 in novice at Newbury (8f, heavy) 24 days ago. Needs to up her game now switched to the AW for this nursery debut but that's certainly possible. May show more now entering nurseries although he doesn't look obviously well treated.. |
|||
3rd (5)  (9/1 +55%)Skyelight |
9/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Skyelight 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 12 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f, 40/1) 28 days ago. More needed. Good work late on latest; drops 2lb and longer trip looks positive; not written off.. |
|||
4th (8)  (40/1 -100%)Borderline Madness |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Borderline Madness 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, eighth of 9 in nursery at Leicester (7f, heavy) 21 days ago. Up in trip for this tapeta debut. Others look stronger. Longer trip may help and she's on a workable mark for switch to AW but plenty to prove.. |
|||
5th (12)  (80/1 -60%)Perfect Ruby |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Perfect Ruby 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f, 33/1) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Sol Argent is presumably the stable No 1. Moderate form so far; drops 3lb; goes up in trip; more needed.. |
|||
6th (11)  (14/1 -17%)Keep Singing |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Keep Singing 14/1, Seventh of 10 in nursery (7/2) at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) 34 days ago. Runner-up at Southwell on penultimate start and reproduction of that form would give her an each-way chance. Placed here (9.5f) and at Southwell; heavy ground a valid excuse latest; likely player.. |
|||
7th (2)  (13/2 +54%)Hock Eye The Noo |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hock Eye The Noo 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in nursery (22/1) at Redcar (8f, soft) 13 days ago. Down 3 lb and she is worth a second look. Weakened out of nursery debut; no surprise to see a better effort back over further.. |
|||
8th (4)  (40/1 -82%)Abstract Art |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Abstract Art 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in nursery (28/1) at Kempton (8f) 33 days ago, not clear run. Others make more appeal. Unplaced in five starts and looks in need of a further favour from the handicapper.. |
|||
9th (3)  (20/1 -167%)Pure Artistry |
20/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pure Artistry 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/8, sixth of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f) 51 days ago. Significantly up in trip now switched to tapeta and tongue strap added. Needs to raise her game. Minor promise so far; step up in trip and tongue-tie may both help; has it to prove.. |
|||
10th (10)  (50/1 -257%)Perfect Parole |
50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Perfect Parole 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 10 in nursery (6/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago. Up in trip and visor on 1st time. May improve for longer trip and visor; supported prior to latest start; could be involved.. |
|||
11th (7)  (50/1 +0%)Precious Spartan |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Precious Spartan 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 8 in nursery at Redcar (8f, soft) 13 days ago, slowly away. Readily passed over. Didn't improve on his nursery debut at Redcar (1m, soft); hard to make a strong case.. |
|||
12th (1)  (4/1 +27%)Telford |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Telford 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Chelmsford in August. 4/1, below form fourth of 9 in nursery there (7f) 46 days ago. Up in trip for this tapeta debut and can make her presence felt, provided she takes to this surface. 7f Polytrack winner; below par latest; drop in grade and longer trip may help; respected.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Having left behind her previous efforts in defeat when justifying favouritism on her nursery bow at Chelmsford recently, MANARA rates as one to keep the right side of. The daughter of Camelot scored with something up her sleeve and she may make light work of a 6lb penalty. Pure Artistry is a potential improver up in distance and she could give the selection most to think about, ahead of the first-time visored Perfect Parole.
It's hard to ignore the allure of MANARA, who won with more in hand than the margin of victory suggest when landing a gamble on her nursery debut at Chelmsford and she should have more to offer. Hock Eye The Noo has yet to trouble the judge but it's still early days and, in good hands, she may well be capable of better than she has shown to date. Sol Argent is most interesting of the remainder.
The way that MANARA won last week, she looks capable of defying a penalty and perhaps going on to better things.

1st (4)  (7/4 +56%)Mae Amor |
7/4(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mae Amor 7/4, Has made the frame all 4 starts so far, off 12 weeks and in first-time cheekpieces when respectable third of 10 in maiden at Southwell (5f, 9/2) 16 days ago. Can give another good account back up in trip. Ran creditably switched to AW at Southwell this month; proving consistent; solid claims. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/2 -157%)Layla Liz |
9/2(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Layla Liz 9/2, Well backed (2/1) and overcame inexperience when winning 5-runner novice at Leicester (6f, heavy) on debut 34 days ago by neck from the reopposing Be An Angel. Not taken lightly with improvement to come. Justified favouritism at Leicester, beating Be An Angel; faces stiffer task off top weight. |
|||
3rd (8)  (3/1 +45%)Tabby |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tabby 3/1, Sent off at big odds (50/1) but improved again when second of 11 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) 44 days ago, travelling well into contention before headed close home. Major player. Heading in the right direction, neck second at Southwell most recently; leading chance. |
|||
4th (2)  (17/2 -89%)Be An Angel |
17/2(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Be An Angel 17/2, Promise when runner-up to Layla Liz at Leicester (6f) on debut, before possibly finding the race coming too soon 13 days later when last of 3 in novice at the same C&D (heavy, 5/2) 3 weeks ago. Could bounce back. Weighted to reverse Leicester placings with Layla Liz; half-sister to an AW winner. |
|||
5th (5)  (10/1 -82%)Perfect Dark |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Perfect Dark 10/1, Much improved from debut when third at Kempton in September. However, only sixth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f, 8/1) 44 days ago, travelling best before weakening last ½f. Tongue strap now reached for. Has frame possibilities on best effort and win possibilities if aided by tongue-tie. |
|||
6th (6)  (13/2 +54%)Sun Keeper |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sun Keeper 13/2, Foaled January 17. £28,000 yearling, Havana Grey filly. Dam unraced. Yard capable of readying a newcomer. £28,000 yearling; by Havana Grey; one of two newcomers in the field; market helpful. |
|||
7th (7)  (200/1 -400%)Sweet Cicely |
200/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sweet Cicely 200/1, Improved from debut when fourth at Newcastle in October, though never involved 8 days later when fifth of 7 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f, 80/1) 11 days ago. Remains capable of better but will appeal more in handicaps. Best effort when modest fourth at Newcastle; needs improvement. |
|||
8th (3)  (33/1 0%)Lily's Symphony |
33/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lily's Symphony 33/1, Foaled February 19. Sergei Prokofiev filly. Dam, placed at 5f/6f and stayed 7f, sister to 1¼m winner Faery Song. Rare 2-y-o runner for yard. Sergei Prokofiev filly; yard is only 1-47 with 2yo runners. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (125/1 -25%)Eva Jo |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Eva Jo 125/1, Has yet to beat a rival in 2 starts, off 4 months before again finishing well held in 9-runner novice at Newmarket (7f, heavy, 100/1) 16 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Holds poor claims on her turf form, having finished last in both runs. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Layla Liz overcame her inexperience when making a winning debut at Leicester last month and she must enter calculations in her bid to complete a double. However, a 7lb penalty could be enough to thwart Archie Watson's filly on her all-weather bow and MAE AMOR shades the verdict. The daughter of Mehmas arrives on the back of a staying-on third over 5f at Southwell and she looks worth another go over today's 6f distance. Be An Angel and Tabby are also noted.
TABBY has been going the right way in her 3 starts to date, only narrowly denied by a fellow improver at Southwell on her latest outing, so she could be ready to get off the mark this time around. She is taken to see off the challenge of Layla Liz, who was able to make a winning debut despite greenness, with Be An Angel also worth another chance.
Tabby holds a leading chance provided her latest effort is backed up but an interesting alternative is BE AN ANGEL.

1st (4)  (4/6 +70%)Miss Cartesian |
4/6(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Miss Cartesian 4/6, Foaled March 25. €40,000 foal, €50,000 yearling, Kodiac filly. Sister to 6f winner Shibuya Storm. Dam maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to very smart miler Modern Games. One to note on debut. 50,000euros yearling; attractively bred and represents major yard; interesting newcomer. |
|||
2nd (1)  (15/8 -70%)Fiorella Princess |
15/8(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fiorella Princess 15/8, 7/2, confirmed debut promise from 6 months earlier when won 11-runner maiden at Chelmsford (6f) 18 days ago, leading when hung left entering final 1f. Should have more to offer and could take some stopping under a penalty. Solid second at Doncaster then scored narrowly at Chelmsford; open to further progress. |
|||
3rd (3)  (20/1 +70%)Memardee |
20/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Memardee 20/1, Showed more dash than on debut fitted in a tongue tie but still ended up well held at Thirsk (6f, good) 5 months ago. Has had a wind op since last seen. Two duck eggs on turf; had wind surgery since last run. |
|||
4th (7)  (17/2 -183%)Oasis Sunrise |
17/2(-183%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Oasis Sunrise 17/2, Rus best excused when eighth of 10 in nursery (17/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 9 days ago, always in rear having been badly hampered leaving the stalls. Went down by just a head on penultimate start so fancied to be bang there. Inconsistent and fairly exposed (0-8) but has place claims on best efforts. |
|||
5th (8)  (66/1 -100%)Sugar Kane |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sugar Kane 66/1, 100/1, again showed little when 7½ lengths ninth of 11 to Fiorella Princess in maiden at Chelmsford (6f) 18 days ago. Down the field in both outings. |
|||
6th (2)  (28/1 -40%)Blue Dandy |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blue Dandy 28/1, Well held in 2 maidens at Southwell in recent weeks. Big step forward needed. Has a good deal to find on her Southwell efforts. |
|||
7th (5)  (150/1 -127%)Happy Happy |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Happy Happy 150/1, Well-beaten fifth of 6 in novice at Lingfield (5f, good, 33/1) on debut 6 months ago. Up in trip. Absent since achieving little at Lingfield in June. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Fiorella Princess built on her promising second-placed debut at Doncaster when opening her account at Chelmsford last month. Another bold bid looks likely from Amy Murphy's charge, but OASIS SUNRISE makes slightly more appeal in receipt of 7lb. The Bated Breath filly lost all chance after being badly hampered at the Essex venue recently and she could put that eighth-placed mishap behind her judged on previous exploits. Market support for newcomer Miss Cartesian would be interesting.
Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, FIORELLA PRINCESS taken to follow up her recent Chelmsford success under a penalty with further improvement on the cards. Debutante Miss Cartesian heads up the dangers for Ralph Beckett, with Oasis Sunrise, who is easily the most experienced of these, completing the shortlist.
Easily the most appealing contenders are Chelmsford winner FIORELLA PRINCESS and interesting debutante Miss Cartesian.

|||

9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Quiet Gent 9/1, Foaled April 13. 40,000 gns yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Burning Cash and 1m winner Bergamasco, both useful. Dam maiden (stayed 6f).

|||

11/4(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Desert Shield 11/4, Foaled March 20. $100,000 yearling, resold $255,000 yearling, $170,000 2-y-o, Gunnevera colt.

|||
8th (7)  (125/1 -213%)Qaaeadd |
125/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Qaaeadd 125/1, 120,000 gns yearling, Earthlight colt. Half-brother to 1½m winner Awesome Dancer and useful winner up to 7f Great Generation. 8/1, seventh of 9 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut, not knocked about. Off 142 days/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Ed Walker. Hood now on. Modest effort on sole start for Ed Walker; gelded and sold for 22,000gns since. |
|||
9th (6)  (100/1 -400%)Kiniro |
100/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kiniro 100/1, Foaled May 8. 30,000 gns foal, 58,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold gelding.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GOOD BANTER improved from first to second start to score comfortably over C&D last time out, and a 4lb penalty for that success may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Naana's Sparkle arrives with similar claims after scoring over 6f at Chelmsford and she is likely to have more improvement forthcoming, while Stage Winner looks to be the pick of the newcomers for connections that know how to ready one.
GOOD BANTER won well here 8 weeks ago and looks promising, so he can follow up. The dangers could be the newcomers, Stage Winner and The Quiet Gent a couple of the notable ones.
The form pick is C&D winner GOOD BANTER, while Stage Winner is a particularly interesting type among the newcomers.

10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Fiscal Policy 10/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year for new yard. 9/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 20 days ago, keeping straighter and doing well having had to steer a passage around loose horse. More needed again to follow up in this company. Record of 3-7 for new yard; steadily improving but this step up to Class 4 is an unknown. |
|||
2nd (3)  (7/1 +22%)Aberama Gold |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Aberama Gold 7/1, C&D winner. 4/1, disappointing eleventh of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Has slipped to a very tempting mark. Usually runs in better races; drops back in class off a stone below last winning mark. |

Great record on AW and good shout again up 2 lb on first run here. Up 2lb for Newcastle win but Oisin McSweeney takes off 3lb; now 4-6 on AW; respected. |
|||
6th (7)  (9/2 +0%)Chief Mankato |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Chief Mankato 9/2, 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 16 days ago, headed post.

First run since leaving Kevin Ryan when last of 4 in handicap (10/3) at Leicester (5f, heavy) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Visored for 1st time. Work to do. May rebound with headgear reapplied; second start for new yard. |

25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Many A Star 25/1, Well-backed 7/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, heavy) 16 days ago, nearest finish. One to consider. Well exposed 7yo but is competitively weighted off last winning mark. |
|||
9th (5)  (6/1 +8%)Tan Rapido |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tan Rapido 6/1, Off 6 months, good third of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 37 days ago. Races to be won with him this winter given his unexposed profile. Lightly raced 3yo; solid third upped to 6f at Chelmsford last month; clear possibilities. |
|||
10th (9)  (12/1 -20%)Rock Opera |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rock Opera 12/1, C&D winner. 9/2, creditable length second of 12 to True Promise in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 25 days ago. Yard's promising 7 lb claimer up now and he could figure. Finished 1l second to True Promise last time; now better off with that rival; in the mix. |
|||
11th (4)  (18/1 -29%)Rizg |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rizg 18/1, 20/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago, slowly away. Visor on 1st time. Good mark and beginning to put a platform together from which he can build, so one to note. Steadily finding his form for new stable; interesting off a reduced mark back at 6f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TRUE PROMISE continues to go from strength to strength and going back up to 6f should not inconvenience as he looks to land the hat-trick for his in-form connections. That may be at the main expense of Chief Mankato, who has got the hang of things since joining the Jack Channon stable and went very close on each of his last two starts on the all-weather. Newcastle winner Fiscal Policy and Many A Star are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
A very competitive sprint handicap for the time of year, with the admirable TRUE PROMISE taken to land the hat-trick. Aberama Gold and Many A Star are just a couple of the dangers.
This looks open. The two suggestions against the field are the lightly raced and interesting contenders TAN RAPIDO and Rizg.

1st (7)  (17/2 -325%)Beauzon |
17/2(-325%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Beauzon 17/2, 6-time C&D winner. 5 wins from 17 runs this year. Latest win here in November. 6/5, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 3 days ago. Good chance turned out quickly once again under a penalty. First and third over C&D the last twice but again penalised and drawn wider. |
|||
2nd (5)  (28/1 -12%)Not Just Yet |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Not Just Yet 28/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. 18/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago, very slowly away. Slow starts continue to hold him back and he's drawn wide. |
|||
3rd (11)  (11/1 +21%)Heartrate |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Heartrate 11/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Last of 7 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 7 days ago, badly hampered. On a useful mark and was only 9-2 when stopped in his tracks here last week. |
|||
4th (9)  (6/1 +50%)Toussarok |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Toussarok 6/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 25 days ago. Every chance if back to best. Regressing but does drop into a Class 6 off his reduced mark so all hope not lost yet. |
|||
5th (4)  (11/2 +45%)White Umbrella |
11/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) White Umbrella 11/2, C&D winner. 7/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Bang there on soft the last twice and returning to Wolverhampton can only be a good thing. |
|||
6th (1)  (13/8 +64%)Alafdhal |
13/8(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alafdhal 13/8, C&D winner. 3 wins from 23 runs this year. Good second of 10 in handicap at this course (5.1f, gambled-on 11/4) 7 days ago. Can go well again. Beaten 1.5l or less in six of his last seven starts; threatening a 10th career win. |
|||
7th (3)  (33/1 +0%)Savannah Smiles |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Savannah Smiles 33/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 20 runs this year. Latest win at Chepstow in September. 18/1, last of 6 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive. Tricky filly but a big run in her off this mark if everything goes like clockwork. |
|||
8th (8)  (14/1 -100%)Smasher |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Smasher 14/1, 3-time C&D winner this year. Off 7 months, eighth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (6f) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and likely to be much closer to form now. One to consider. All three wins have been over C&D and well drawn for one who likes to be up there. |
|||
9th (6)  (7/1 +30%)Caesars Pearl |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Caesars Pearl 7/1, Off another 5 months, 20/1, third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Well treated if backing that up in first-time cheekpieces. Third from off the pace at Southwell two weeks ago after a break of 150 days. |
|||
10th (10)  (16/1 +36%)Ravensbourne |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ravensbourne 16/1, 50/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 19 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Mike Murphy & Michael Keady. Got behind before running on into fifth at Kempton last time; new trainer. |
|||
11th (12)  (50/1 -52%)The Toff |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) The Toff 50/1, 25/1, first run since leaving Katie Scott when last of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 14 days ago. Blinkers back on. Finished last on recent stable debut and it's likely his struggles will continue. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Turned out again quickly after a highly creditable effort when looking to land the double over C&D last Friday in an apprentice handicap, BEAUZON can bounce back to winning ways with jockey Charles Bishop back in the saddle. Runner-up over 5f here last time out, Alafdhal seems the type that may improve for going back up in trip, whereas White Umbrella remains on the same mark as when scoring over C&D in April.
SMASHER thrived here earlier this year and could get back on the up after his Kempton return. Beauzon and Alafdhal are keeping busy and can go well again. Caesars Pearl is another to consider.
The 6yo ALAFDHAL keeps knocking on the door and it might just open this evening now he returns to his most-winning trip.

15/2(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Vibrato 15/2, 5/2, won 4-runner novice at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago. More to find now handicapping in this bigger field. Suited by the switch to 7f at Newcastle last time and could well build on that win. |
|||
2nd (10)  (15/2 +46%)Infinity Blue |
15/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Infinity Blue 15/2, Winner at Newmarket in August. Eyeshields on for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 12/1) 46 days ago. Raced mostly at 6f and on turf; something to prove in this scenario. |
|||
3rd (7)  (5/1 +64%)Charencey |
5/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Charencey 5/1, Latest win at Doncaster in July. 33/1, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 88 days ago. This is easier. Had wind surgery since last appearance three months ago; yet to win fresh. |
|||
4th (4)  (16/1 -45%)Holy Fire |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Holy Fire 16/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago. Potentially well treated on her form earlier in the year. Well treated but has a question mark over her current form; drops in grade. |
|||
5th (12)  (13/2 +7%)Vince Lombardi |
13/2(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Vince Lombardi 13/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Daniel & Claire Kubler when good second of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (7f) 14 days ago. Player if building on that. Went close at Kempton two weeks ago on stable debut; remains well treated on turf form. |
|||
6th (2)  (4/1 -33%)Bluelight Bay |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bluelight Bay 4/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 7/2 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 14 days ago, caught further back than ideal and finishing well. Good claims despite his high draw. Ran encouragingly in first-time blinkers at Kempton most recently; possibilities. |
|||
7th (9)  (16/1 +52%)Sedgemoor |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sedgemoor 16/1, Winner at Haydock in June. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 33/1) 35 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Won at Haydock on handicap debut; has gone the wrong way since. |
|||
8th (11)  (10/3 +39%)Cancan In The Rain |
10/3(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Cancan In The Rain 10/3, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 17 days ago. Can bounce back. Form dipped last time but consistent otherwise this autumn; may rebound. |
|||
9th (1)  (66/1 -100%)Eden Storm |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Eden Storm 66/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Marco Botti when seventh of 8 in handicap at Haydock (6f, heavy, 150/1) 31 days ago. Could do better back on AW. Two C&D wins last term for previous yard; has regressed sharply this year. |
|||
10th (5)  (9/1 +55%)Mart |
9/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mart 9/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 28/1) 19 days ago. Should bounce back. Excellent record in this grade but has something to prove back up in distance. |
|||
11th (8)  (200/1 -100%)Sceptic |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sceptic 200/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap (125/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 23 days ago. Looks to have lost his way. Form has tailed off since last winter, latterly for another new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
VINCE LOMBARDI was narrowly beaten at Kempton on his debut for Jim Boyle's yard. He can regain the winning thread off his current mark on that evidence with Rossa Ryan taking over the reins. Bluelight Bay has a bit to find to find with the selection on latest running, but can still have a say in proceedings, while Cancan In The Rain also commands respect in this grade and is preferred to Vibrato.
BLUELIGHT BAY returned to form when third at Kempton last time, finishing well having been caught further back than ideal, and he can resume winning ways if stall 12 doesn't prove too troublesome. Vince Lombardi made an encouraging start for his new yard in the same race, finishing a place in front of the poorly-positioned selection, and he can figure if building on that. State Flag is another to note.
Off a workable mark and with Rossa Ryan booked, VINCE LOMBARDI is taken to record a first AW win. Bluelight Bay is second pick.

1st (9)  (5/1 +38%)Alrazeen |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Alrazeen 5/1, Course winner. 11/4 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and blinkers discarded. Claims if on-song. Went close over C&D (sole attempt beyond about 1m4f) on penultimate start; in the mix. |
|||
2nd (8)  (3/1 +25%)Little Peter |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Little Peter 3/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 11/2) 21 days ago. 3 lb nudge easy to accept and he has to enter calculations. Bumper winner; opened his Flat account at Newcastle last time; may progress further. |
|||
3rd (3)  (15/2 +38%)Diamond Bay |
15/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Diamond Bay 15/2, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 39 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Has plenty of good AW form; inconsistent in recent times but is attractively weighted. |
|||
4th (5)  (11/4 -10%)Caustic |
11/4(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Caustic 11/4, 6/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 32 days ago. This step up in trip looks a good move and he's a major player off the same mark. Ran respectably off this mark, though no match for winner, at Southwell last time. |
|||
5th (7)  (25/1 -213%)Lusaka |
25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lusaka 25/1, 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Wide-margin winner at Nottingham on latest start in this sphere in August but this 8 lb higher mark could prove troublesome. Scored readily on most recent Flat start but has something to prove in this scenario. |
|||
6th (6)  (4/1 +0%)Simiyann |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Simiyann 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Last of 5 in handicap (10/1) at Kempton (16f) 12 days ago but that was a Class 2 contest and this is probably more his level. Record of 5211 at this venue, the wins gained easily last month; respected back here. |
|||
7th (1)  (10/1 +70%)Golden Flame |
10/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Golden Flame 10/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. First run since leaving Deborah Faulkner when ninth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Kempton (16f) 72 days ago. Opposable. Useful for previous yard; missed 2023 and comfortably held in both runs this term. |
|||
8th (2)  (150/1 -650%)Mr Le Philosophe |
150/1(-650%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mr Le Philosophe 150/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft, 8/1) 10 days ago, pulling hard. Failed to fire on latest start in this sphere and now tried in blinkers. Poor form since joining current yard; another change of headgear needs to help. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SIMIYANN found life tough in a competitive contest at Kempton last time, but this lower grade is more his level. A dual winner at this venue, Ian Williams' charge returned an easy winner when last successful and may prove hard to beat. The bumper winner Little Peter opened his account in this code when scoring at Newcastle and another good account looks assured, while Caustic is worth a second glance stepping up in trip after placing at Southwell.
CAUSTIC was comprehensively outpointed by the winner when second at Southwell last month but he is well worth a try over this trip. Owen Burrows' charge earns preference ahead of Little Peter and Alrazeen.
Back at this course, SIMIYANN (nap) is taken to defy a career-high mark. Little Peter is second choice.

11/4(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Harlington 11/4, Course winner. Winner here in September. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 13/2) 7 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly back up in trip and it'd be no surprise if he's involved in the finish. Couldn't get a clear run when 5l seventh here (8.5f) latest; each-way player up in trip.. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/1 +0%)Bay Of Naples |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bay Of Naples 10/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 5/1, creditable 2 lengths fifth of 12 to Khangai in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 16 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Close second on his penultimate start; not far off that level latest; each-way player.. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/4 +18%)Khangai |
9/4(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Khangai 9/4, 9/2, won 12-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 16 days ago. Gone up just 3 lb and it's not hard to envisage this gelding again playing a leading role. Won going away latest; up 3lb and a player if able to repeat that effort.. |
|||
4th (6)  (80/1 -142%)Ladypacksapunch |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ladypacksapunch 80/1, One win from 33 Flat runs. Winner at Bath in August. Ninth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Bath (10.2f, soft) 48 days ago. Back up in trip and she's likely to come up short once more. Needs improvement on her recent efforts on turf, plus those when last campaigned on AW.. |
|||
5th (5)  (11/2 +31%)Zooks |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Zooks 11/2, Very good third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 10/1) 6 days ago. Record stands at 0-12 on turf amd she's a live each-way player. Better effort when placed (1m6f) latest but far from certain to back that up down in trip.. |
|||
6th (1)  (7/2 +13%)Ocean Ridge |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ocean Ridge 7/2, Very good third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good, 14/1) 166 days ago, running on. Successful over this C&D on latest start in this sphere in March. C&D winner; returns from a break and if repeating that winning effort, he's a big player.. |
|||
7th (3)  (33/1 -32%)Prince Hector |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Prince Hector 33/1, Course winner. One win from 31 Flat runs. 25/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, heavy) 21 days ago. Back up in trip and he looks vulnerabe. Back on his last winning mark but his record suggests he is better over shorter.. |
|||
8th (8)  (20/1 -344%)Keen Interest |
20/1(-344%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Keen Interest 20/1, Unreliable sort. Won 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 3/1) 11 days ago, keeping on gamely. Back up in trip and 2 lb raise for that success is hardly draconian. Broke AW duck (1m2f) latest; consistent; up 2lb; repeat effort would see him in the mix.. |
|||
9th (7)  (33/1 +34%)Sexy Rexy |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sexy Rexy 33/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at this course (14f) 14 days ago. Hard to warm to on the back of thay low-key effort. Competitive over C&D when placed last month but well beaten on her last two visits.. |
|||
10th (9)  (40/1 -60%)Walk The Moon |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Walk The Moon 40/1, 80/1, below form fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, doing too much too soon. Lates run in this sphere was poor and 0-18; well beaten in his last five starts across both codes; others preferred.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
KHANGAI broke his duck on the all-weather when successful over today's distance at Southwell. He can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice's 7lb allowance taken into account and can go in again with James Owen's yard in fine form. Ocean Ridge has been hurdling since landing a classified race here back in March and can have a say in proceedings, while the recent Newcastle winner Keen Interest makes more appeal than Zooks.
KHANGAI resumed winning ways at the second time of asking for this yard when landing a 16-runner Southwell handicap last month. He is taken to follow up here, perhaps at the chief expense of Ocean Ridge, who put in a good shift when third over hurdles at Newton Abbot last time and he was a C&D winner on his latest start in this sphere. Harlington is third on the list, with Keen Interest best of the rest.
The returning OCEAN RIDGE has gone well when fresh in the past and he could be worth chancing.

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.
