2nd (8) (4/1 +0%) Port Noir |
4/1(+0%) | (8) Port Noir 4/1, 6-time course winner. Latest win here in October. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 5 days ago. Likely to go well again. Multiple course scorer who is knocking on the door again, close C&D third latest; a player. |

14/1(-155%) | (2) Balqaa 14/1, Latest win at Newcastle in September. 11/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 18 days ago. Can make presence felt. In good nick, third of 12 at Newcastle 18 days ago; can go well again off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (18/1 -29%) Genta |
18/1(-29%) | (5) Genta 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 28 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Failed to kick on since sent handicapping, beating just one at Newcastle latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (11/4 +66%) I Can't Believe |
11/4(+66%) | (7) I Can't Believe 11/4, Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 100/1) 38 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others make more appeal. Seventh in Lingfield h'cap last month; more is needed on his Tapeta debut to get off mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (10/1 -122%) Lhebayeb |
10/1(-122%) | (11) Lhebayeb 10/1, Creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 12 days ago. Arguably unlucky not to win last time and is handicapped to go one better. Back on track of late, edged out when a C&D second latest; likely player off same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (12/1 -20%) Clyde Bay |
12/1(-20%) | (9) Clyde Bay 12/1, 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not ruled out from a sliding mark. Encouraging fourth at Southwell last month; he's one to consider off a 2lb lower mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (8/1 +43%) Mykonos St John |
8/1(+43%) | (3) Mykonos St John 8/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 18 runs this year. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 14/1) 7 days ago. Generally holding form and no surprise if he makes more of an impact this time. Seventh of 11 in 8.5f handicap here a week ago; he's the sort to bounce back though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (33/1 -65%) Star Of St James |
33/1(-65%) | (10) Star Of St James 33/1, 18/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 days ago, doing too much too soon. Must improve. Not seen to best effect when tenth at Chelmsford latest; in the picture off 3lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (50/1 -100%) Taskheer |
50/1(-100%) | (1) Taskheer 50/1, Last of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 125/1) 59 days ago. Hard to make a solid case for. Offered little after 17 months off in a pair of 1m handicaps this October; had a wind op. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PORT NOIR has held her form well since winning brace of races here (one over this trip) in October and, off just 3lb higher than for the most recent of those successes, Robert Stephens' consistent mare has a leading chance of adding to her tally. Balqaa is closely matched with the selection based on their encounter here last month, when finishing a place behind her in fourth, and rates a serious threat with a 1lb pull at the weights. Lhebayeb and Sassy Glory also command respect.
LHEBAYEB was a touch unfortunate not to score last time and, from a lenient mark, she's worth a chance to gain compensation for all that Port Noir represents a stern rival. Balqaa also merits consideration in an open-looking event.
This could go the way of multiple course winner PORT NOIR who is taken to gain another deserved win after a series of good efforts here.

1st (2) (14/1 -40%) Magna Gee Gee |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Magna Gee Gee 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in novice (66/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 38 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes nursery debut and warrants a market check. Progressive sort; appeals as a likely improver now handicapping stepped back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (17/2 +23%) Magic Runner |
17/2(+23%) | (5) Magic Runner 17/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in novice at Lingfield (8f, AW, 40/1) 32 days ago. Bred to be better than a mark of 65 and longer trip is in her favour. Hung left when sixth at Lingfield latest; in the picture up in trip for her h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/2 +17%) Ruling Master |
5/2(+17%) | (1) Ruling Master 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 7 in novice (5/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Very good Chelmsford second nine days ago; enters calculations on Tapeta/handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 -122%) Georginio |
5/1(-122%) | (3) Georginio 5/1, 15/2, career best when winning 11-runner nursery at this C&D 19 days ago, holding on gamely. One to take seriously. Got off the mark in C&D nursery latest; up 3lb but form been franked so not taken lightly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (2/1 +43%) Nidaami |
2/1(+43%) | (4) Nidaami 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, good fourth of 9 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 30 days ago, slowly away. Has to be taken seriously. Back on track on his nursery debut when fourth at Southwell last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (20/1 +60%) Rue D'etoile |
20/1(+60%) | (7) Rue D'etoile 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in novice (300/1) at Brighton (8f, heavy) 65 days ago, hampered. Makes handicap debut. Needs to improve. Offered little in his three outings to date; hard to warm to from 7lb out of the handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (11/2 +27%) Made The Cut |
11/2(+27%) | (6) Made The Cut 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice (28/1) at Kempton (8f) 87 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Tongue strap on 1st time. Type to do better switched to nurseries. Has been brought along steadily; no surprise to see her take a step forward on h'cap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A C&D winner 19 days ago, Georginio rates a key player off just 3lb higher. However, he takes a step in class and may be vulnerable to one of the less exposed contenders. MAGNA GEE GEE fits that profile and starts handicapping from a workable mark, after showing some improvement on the last of his three qualifying runs over 7f at Southwell. A half-brother to a winner over this trip, stepping back up in distance could be highly beneficial. Ruling Master is the pick of the remainder.
GEORGINIO showed a good attitude when opening his account over C&D last time and should be able to lead once more, so he's the tentative choice ahead of Nidaami. Ruling Master also arrives on the back of a solid showing and there are a few nursery debutants with the potential to do better.
It could be worth siding with George Boughey's MADE THE CUT to build on previous promise and take a step forward now handcapping.

3rd (6) (9/4 +55%) Safe Idea |
9/4(+55%) | (6) Safe Idea 9/4, Promising type. 40/1, fourth of 12 in maiden at this course (8.6f) on debut 30 days ago, running on from the rear. Open to improvement. Beaten 2.25l when fourth of 12 over 8.5f here on debut (40-1); should improve for the run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (85/40 +47%) Lesson Of Life |
85/40(+47%) | (3) Lesson Of Life 85/40, 7/2, seventh of 14 in novice at Kempton (8f) on debut 10 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Rates a sure-fire improver over this longer trip. Beaten 2.5l when 7th of 14 on Kempton debut last week; longer trip should suit; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (150/1 -127%) National Voice |
150/1(-127%) | (4) National Voice 150/1, 80/1 and tongue tied, seventh of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (1m) on debut 18 days ago. 20l seventh of ten in Lingfield maiden on debut (1m; 80-1, tongue-tie); improvement needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (150/1 -50%) Rosezan |
150/1(-50%) | (5) Rosezan 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 125/1, seventh of 8 in novice at Southwell (7f) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten at long odds in two 7f novices; needs to improve for this step up in trip.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (13/2 +7%) Coma Cluster |
13/2(+7%) | (1) Coma Cluster 13/2, Twice-raced filly. Stepped up on debut when fourth of 9 in novice at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) 75 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Sir Michael Stoute. Ex-Sir Michael Stoute; fair 4th at Yarmouth latest; quite interesting on stable/AW debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (80/1 -100%) Jackrabbit |
80/1(-100%) | (2) Jackrabbit 80/1, 33/1, seventh of 8 in novice (33/1) at Chelmsford on recent 1¼m debut. Looks more one for the longer term. Seventh of eight in a Chelmsford novice (1m2f; 33-1) on debut last week; much more needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
STAR OF LIGHT, a daughter of Frankel out of Irish Oaks and Champion Fillies and Mares Stakes winner Star Catcher, is impossible to ignore on pedigree and could have been found an ideal starting point to start her career in a victorious manner. Coma Cluster appeals most from those with experience and is notable on her debut for a new yard, although Safe Idea was a respectable third over the extended mile here on her debut and is another likely improver.
STAR OF LIGHT is bred to be good and gets the vote to make a winning start to her career, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Safe Idea and Lesson of Life displayed promise on debut and can give the selection most to think about.
If STAR OF LIGHT has the ability to match her illustrious pedigree she will be hard to beat. Lesson Of Life should also run well.

Triumph Of Peace |
(6) (5/1 +17%)5/1(+17%) | (6) Triumph Of Peace 5/1, Winner at Salisbury in August. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 14/1) in November (finished behind Enola Grey), Hooded for first time today, is in very capable hands and interesting that stable took this race last year. 7f novice win and twice placed in handicaps since; has issues at the stalls but unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (4) (7/2 +59%) Enola Grey |
7/2(+59%) | (4) Enola Grey 7/2, C&D winner has been performing consistently at Newcastle and Southwell. Tends to be held up and had plenty on her plate turning for home last time (having been slowly away) doing well to finish as close as she did (fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1) 2 days ago. Respected. Goes well on AW and has a C&D win on her record; solid run on Thurs; shouldn't be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (11/1 +0%) Powdering |
11/1(+0%) | (9) Powdering 11/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 17 runs this year. 66/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) running on. Ran to a similar level when dropped in trip (sixth of 10 in handicap) at this course (6.1f) 19 days ago. Looks to be in better heart than recent form figures suggest. Eyecatching sixth over 6f here last time; exposed but needs serious consideration. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +53%) Happy Hadeda |
4/1(+53%) | (3) Happy Hadeda 4/1, Low-mileage 3-y-o who has won twice at Kempton (including at this distance). Tends to be held up in races but never involved when last of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 4/1) 45 days ago. Returns from a short break here and should leave last run behind. Two-time Kempton winner; fluffed her lines last time but capable of bouncing back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (20/1 -208%) Take A Pull |
20/1(-208%) | (2) Take A Pull 20/1, Promising sort. 1 win from 4 runs this year. Winner at Chelmsford City in July, second on turf debut at Bath over a mile before making frame in Swedish Group 3 contest (1m) 97 days ago (wore cheekpieces). Headgear retained on return to AW and back to 7f on first run after a short break. 7f AW win on debut; expensive to follow since but latest Listed 4th in Sweden was better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/1 -43%) Byzantine Empress |
5/1(-43%) | (7) Byzantine Empress 5/1, Winner at Haydock in August and second of 8 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) in September. Caught the eye on first run for new handler after leaving Kevin Thomas Coleman, good third of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 19 days ago. Up in trip and looks capable of winning races for this yard. Promising stable debut over 6f here 19 days ago; still improving; good claims back at 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (9/2 +10%) Staincliff |
9/2(+10%) | (1) Staincliff 9/2, Fifth of 7 to Democracy Dilemma in listed race (5/2) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in August and well held when upped in trip (6f Newcastle) in another listed event. Tongue tie applied that day and retained here. Stepped up another furlong and should be more competitive at this level. No impact in Listed races the last twice; this easier but stamina has to be taken on trust. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (9/1 -20%) My Awele |
9/1(-20%) | (8) My Awele 9/1, 2 wins from 7 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (12/1) at Southwell (5f) in October. Backed it up when fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 19 days ago, finishing just behind Byzantine Empress. Two sprint wins at Southwell; finished behind Byzantine Empress here latest; 7f a query. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
BYZANTINE EMPRESS looks the way to go. The three-year-old finished a close-up third over 6f at this venue at the start of the month and goes off an unchanged rating. Her sole career victory so far came over this distance at Haydock in August, so the step back up in trip should suit. Take A Pull and Triumph Of Peace complete the shortlist.
A promising third on stable debut 19 days ago, BYZANTINE EMPRESS gave the impression that she'd soon be winning races for new connections. She will likely face some stiff competition, not least from the consistent Enola Grey who would aid her chance by breaking on terms. Of the others, Staincliff is interesting upped to seven furlongs for the first time.
She's more exposed than most but POWDERING looked ready to strike here last time and can reverse placings with Byzantine Empress.

1st (6) (5/2 -11%) Alfheim |
5/2(-11%) | (6) Alfheim 5/2, Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap at this course (12.2f, 11/4) 12 days ago. 3 lb nudge fair enough and she has to enter calculations. Off the mark for new yard here latest; big player with this longer trip a likely plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (13/8 +73%) Dark Mystery |
13/8(+73%) | (1) Dark Mystery 13/8, One win from 23 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (16.6f, 4/1) 40 days ago. Possibilities off this reduced mark. In good form until only seventh here last month; he's the sort to bounce back though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/1 -67%) Grand Duchess Olga |
10/1(-67%) | (2) Grand Duchess Olga 10/1, Latest win at Kempton in June. 11/2, last of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 32 days ago. Largely consistent and she shouldn't be far away. Last of five in 2m Lingfield handicap 32 days ago; she needs to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/2 +39%) Black Smoke |
11/2(+39%) | (7) Black Smoke 11/2, C&D winner in September. Seventh of 11 in handicap (17/2) back here 19 days ago, not ideally placed. Could have a part to play if he puts his best foot forward. Dual C&D winner; not seen to ideal effect when C&D seventh latest; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (11/2 +45%) Trackman |
11/2(+45%) | (8) Trackman 11/2, Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 15/2) 37 days ago. Significantly up in trip and cheekpieces back on. Not without each-way hope. Remains a maiden and he arrives below par; others are preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (66/1 -267%) Edna E Mode |
66/1(-267%) | (5) Edna E Mode 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Kempton (16f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Opposable returned to this sphere on debut for new yard. Offered little in three runs for Stuart Edmunds; has it to prove for another new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (20/1 -150%) Vee Dancer |
20/1(-150%) | (3) Vee Dancer 20/1, First run since leaving Ronan M. P. McNally when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft, 80/1) 22 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was creditable and he's not without each-way hope. Off 20 months before pulled up for new yard in Newbury handicap hurdle 22 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (66/1 -32%) Exceptionality |
66/1(-32%) | (11) Exceptionality 66/1, 66/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 54 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Yet to register a victory and he comes here out of sorts; subsequently gelded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (25/1 +0%) Emperor Dream |
25/1(+0%) | (10) Emperor Dream 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 12 in novice (300/1) at Kempton (8f) 68 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut and sizeable step forward needed. Has beaten one rival in his three runs; had wind op and needs it to spark big improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (50/1 0%) Kitten's Dream |
50/1(0%) | (9) Kitten's Dream 50/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Thirty-seven runs since last win in 2023. Last of 6 in handicap (100/1) at Southwell (16.5f) 38 days ago. Readily passed over. A C&D scorer but he's not one to rely on and came in last of six at Southwell 38 days ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Alfheim was victorious over 1m4f at this track on her most recent start and she holds an obvious chance off a 3lb higher rating. However, she needs to prove herself over this longer distance, which might open the door for DARK MYSTERY. The five-year-old has made the frame over this trip in two of his last three starts and has now slipped to a workable mark. Kojin is another to watch out for.
The vote goes to DARK MYSTERY, who failed to fire last time but he will have every chance if reproducing the form of his solid placed efforts at Southwell in October. Alfheim is an obvious threat on the back of her recent breakthrough success and is feared most ahead of Trackman. Cases can also be made for Grand Duchess Olga and Black Smoke.
This looks a very good opportunity for George Boughey's ALFHEIM (nap) to continue his excellent start for the yard.

1st (9) (13/2 -189%) Havana Sky |
13/2(-189%) | (9) Havana Sky 13/2, Four wins from 10 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (9/4) at Southwell (6.1f) 7 days ago. Has good chance on form. Won his last three, all over 6f in Class 6 company; 2lb rise fair but this a warmer race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (15/2 +38%) Minnesota Lad |
15/2(+38%) | (1) Minnesota Lad 15/2, 25/1, bit below form sixth of 18 in handicap at York (6f, soft), nearest finish. Off 104 days ahead of this debut for new yard and he looks vulnerable. 2-21 when trained by Richard Fahey; sold for 10,000gns in October; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (15/2 +38%) Happy Tears |
15/2(+38%) | (7) Happy Tears 15/2, Winner at Chelmsford City in August. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago. Likely to find a few too good once again. On a winning mark but often slowly away and needs to leave latest run behind her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/2 +36%) Muscika |
9/2(+36%) | (5) Muscika 9/2, Three-time C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 47 days ago. Capable of a bold show off this mark. Veteran who is fully effective over C&D; not beaten far here last time; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/4 +57%) Whats In The Bag |
6/4(+57%) | (4) Whats In The Bag 6/4, Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 7/2) 18 days ago, nearest finish. Major player here off the same mark. Handicap mark unchanged after latest fast-finishing second at Lingfield; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (5/1 +0%) One More Wave |
5/1(+0%) | (3) One More Wave 5/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (5f) 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip and he needs to get back on track. Not at best the last twice but returning to 6f won't hurt and he's well drawn this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (28/1 +0%) Local Bay |
28/1(+0%) | (8) Local Bay 28/1, Course winner. 4 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win at Brighton in August. Last of 8 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 33/1) 36 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip and he's vulnerable from a win point of view. Handicapper relenting after some poor runs but suspicion he's vulnerable at 6f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
WHATS IN THE BAG was denied by just under a length when second in this grade at Lingfield last time and the handicapper might have been kind to leave his mark alone for that performance. If the son of Dark Angel can reproduce that level of form, then he could prove tough to beat. The in-form Havana Sky is an obvious danger, with the veteran Muscika also worth a second look.
HAVANA SKY is on a roll and a 2 lb nudge for last weekend's successs at Southwell probably underestimates him. The Ed Dunlop-trained 3-y-o may well have more to offer and he is preferred to the consistent Whats In The Bag and Muscika.
One More Wave can bounce back to form but WHATS IN THE BAG is handicapped to win and ran well at Lingfield last time.

1st (6) (11/4 +50%) Darlo Pride |
11/4(+50%) | (6) Darlo Pride 11/4, C&D winner. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (5f) 12 days ago by head from Master of My Fate, all out. Remains on a workable mark nudged up 2 lb and likely to be on the premises once again. Gamely saw off Master Of My Fate at Newcastle latest and 2lb better off today; good claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/1 +22%) Mumayaz |
7/1(+22%) | (4) Mumayaz 7/1, Three wins from 21 runs this year. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/2) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Back down in trip and tongue strap back on. Likely to find one or two too strong. Not at his best last time but capable at this level and Rossa Ryan is a positive booking. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/2 +50%) Honour Your Dreams |
9/2(+50%) | (5) Honour Your Dreams 9/2, 5/1, respectable 2 lengths seventh of 12 to Darlo Pride in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's not without a chance. Front-runner; finished behind a couple of these at Newcastle latest; change of headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (18/1 -157%) Smooth Silesie |
18/1(-157%) | (3) Smooth Silesie 18/1, Five wins from 24 runs this year. Creditable 1¼ lengths second of 10 to Master of My Fate in handicap at Southwell (5f, 16/1) 8 days ago. 4 lb pull offers hope that she can at least get closer to that rival here. Had a good year and ran right up to her best at Southwell latest; needs more to win this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (2/1 +64%) Master Of My Fate |
2/1(+64%) | (1) Master Of My Fate 2/1, 5/2, won 10-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) 8 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Smooth Silesie. 4 lb rise fair enough and likely to be in the thick of things once again. A wind op has worked the oracle and he won decisively at Southwell last week; good chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (18/1 -100%) American Fashion |
18/1(-100%) | (9) American Fashion 18/1, Hooded for 1st time, bit below form second of 12 in maiden at Southwell (5f, 11/2) 8 days ago. Very much a contender back in handicap company. Latest second not strong form but she did at least see her race out better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (28/1 -250%) Basholo |
28/1(-250%) | (8) Basholo 28/1, Four-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 13 runs this year. 10/1, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, always holding on. This is tougher but she's hard to discount all the same. Four C&D wins this year, the latest 12 days ago; tackling stronger opposition this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (33/1 -106%) Level Up |
33/1(-106%) | (2) Level Up 33/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 20 runs this year. Latest win at Salisbury in August. Ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 28 days ago, not ideally placed. Visor back on and others make more appeal. Return to 0-70 company will help but the widest draw tempers any real enthusiasm. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (18/1 +10%) Gustav Graves |
18/1(+10%) | (10) Gustav Graves 18/1, Four-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 17 runs this year. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 7 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Conditions to suit but recent efforts need bettering if he's to come out on top. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (28/1 -40%) Under Curfew |
28/1(-40%) | (11) Under Curfew 28/1, Creditable third of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (5f) 7 days ago. Usually runs his race and will probably do so once more but others preferred for win purposes. Placed on last two cracks at 5f, including last week; up in class; vulnerable for the win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (22/1 -300%) Havechatma |
22/1(-300%) | (7) Havechatma 22/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Southwell (5f, 2/1) 58 days ago, readily. Has to be respected in her bid to complete the hat-trick. Won two Class 6 events at Southwell in October in good style; up 8lb against better rivals. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Several of these are old rivals and the margins look tight in terms of handicapping. Last-time-out winners Master Of My Fate, Darlo Pride and Basholo all command respect and warrant close scrutiny. As does the hat-trick seeking Havechatma, despite this being her first start at this venue. However, it would be dangerous to allow AMERICAN FASHION to slip under the radar and, from a rating of just 60, this well-bred filly, who cost 340,000gns as a yearling, could be the surprise package in a wide-open race.
Plenty of these arrive here in good order. AMERICAN FASHION has yet to get her head in front but she appeared to benefit from the addition of a hood (on again here) when runner-up in a Southwell maiden recently (probably would've finished closer to the winner granted a clear run) and she is on an appealing mark back in handicap company. Darlo Pride got the better of Master of My Fate at Newcastle and he is feared most.
Darlo Pride is weighted to confirm Newcastle placings with MASTER OF MY FATE but the unexposed selection has won well since.

1st (8) (9/1 +55%) Boujee Gold |
9/1(+55%) | (8) Boujee Gold 9/1, C&D winner. 20/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 17 days ago. Likely to find a few too good once more. C&D win off 6lb higher last November; run okay the last twice but others look stronger. |

2nd (10) (4/1 -20%) Forever Proud |
4/1(-20%) | (10) Forever Proud 4/1, Three wins from 16 runs this year. 3/1, won 12-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 2 days ago. Merits consideration. Off the mark for new yard at Chelmsford on Thursday; respected under a penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (18/1 -29%) Light Up Our Stars |
18/1(-29%) | (4) Light Up Our Stars 18/1, C&D winner. 18/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, well positioned. Needs a couple of these to falter. Multiple winner, including C&D, but only fourth here last week when well positioned. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 +29%) My Brother Mike |
5/1(+29%) | (3) My Brother Mike 5/1, Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (11/1) 30 days ago, suited by way race developed. 3 lb rise fair and she should be in the mix. Gained his tenth win with a ready C&D success last month; solid claims up 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/2 +31%) Inspiring Speeches |
9/2(+31%) | (7) Inspiring Speeches 9/2, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 15/2) 61 days ago. Knocking on the door prior to that and he's one to consider. 14-race maiden but several good runs this year, including C&D; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (28/1 -211%) Kodebreaker |
28/1(-211%) | (6) Kodebreaker 28/1, Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 13/2) 33 days ago. Back up in trip and others look stronger here. Conditions no issue but he needs to leave his last two starts behind to win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (14/1 -250%) Adace |
14/1(-250%) | (1) Adace 14/1, Latest win at Kempton in October. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 10/1) 31 days ago, running on. Up in trip for this tapeta debut and she has to be taken seriously. Comes here in top form and she should make another bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (12/1 +0%) Damoiseau |
12/1(+0%) | (11) Damoiseau 12/1, Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (8f) 47 days ago, left with too much to do. More will be needed if he's to open his account here. Exposed maiden but ran creditably at Kempton last month and holds each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (18/1 -29%) We'renotreallyhere |
18/1(-29%) | (5) We'renotreallyhere 18/1, 11/1 and visored for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Others more persuasive on this occasion. No improvement for a visor here last week; this year's best form gives him claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (4/1 +50%) Legend Of Leros |
4/1(+50%) | (2) Legend Of Leros 4/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Nees to bounce back in a major way. Tumbled down the weights for new yard; new headgear and Rossa Ryan booked; check betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (14/1 +13%) Storm Asset |
14/1(+13%) | (9) Storm Asset 14/1, Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 40 days ago, not ideally placed. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Luckless run over C&D last time; dangerous mark and should have a big run in him. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
MY BROTHER MIKE bounced back to form with a C&D win last month and isn't overburdened in his bid to follow up from just 3lb higher. Adace is more reliable than the majority of the rest and is capable of making this a good test, despite having never won from a mark this high before. Storm Asset, Damoiseau and Light Up Our Stars are other contenders to monitor in the betting.
If turned out again quickly following her Chelmsford success on Thursday evening, FOREVER PROUD could be the answer. Adace is in good form and she may be the one to follow the selection home, while Inspiring Speeches and My Brother Mike, who was a C&D winner last month, are others with claims.
Money for Legend Of Leros would alter the complexion of the race but as things stand STORM ASSET is tentatively preferred.

1st (3) (7/4 +0%) Overnight Oats |
7/4(+0%) | (3) Overnight Oats 7/4, C&D winner who did well to get up late when landing 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 10/11) 17 days ago. Up another 3 lb but weighted to complete a four-timer. Completed a hat-trick when coming from well back at Lingfield latest; strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2/1 +67%) Harry The Haggler |
2/1(+67%) | (4) Harry The Haggler 2/1, 85/40, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 138 days. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams. Back to a potentially lenient mark. Creditable efforts for former trainer when last seen; Rossa Ryan booked for stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (13/2 -86%) The Spotlight Kid |
13/2(-86%) | (1) The Spotlight Kid 13/2, Overcame a troubled passage to win 14-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 31 days ago. Not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. Chasing a hat-trick after two wins at Kempton (1m/7f) last month; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (14/1 +30%) Buttercross Flyer |
14/1(+30%) | (7) Buttercross Flyer 14/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 10/1) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Retains ability but seems best at 7f and this trip might stretch her once again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/1 -29%) Voltaic |
9/1(-29%) | (2) Voltaic 9/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Respectable third of 13 in handicap (9/2) at Kempton (7f) 10 days ago. In the mix now back up in trip. Conditions fine but beaten off a 5lb lower mark the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (16/1 -33%) Bishop's Glory |
16/1(-33%) | (10) Bishop's Glory 16/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 30 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Possibilities. 7f win here last November; unplaced all ten runs in 2024; stamina not assured. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 -32%) Doctor Awtaad |
33/1(-32%) | (6) Doctor Awtaad 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7¾ lengths tenth of 14 to The Spotlight Kid in handicap (50/1) at Kempton (7f) 31 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Down the field on handicap debut last month (50-1); longer trip could spark improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (16/1 +0%) Eccentric |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Eccentric 16/1, 10/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 68 days ago, nearest finish. Can make his presence felt. Hard to win with but placed in two of his last three runs here; each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (66/1 -32%) Beautiful Dawn |
66/1(-32%) | (5) Beautiful Dawn 66/1, 80/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 11 days ago. Up in trip. Difficult ask. Struggled for current stable and opposable despite reduced mark and step back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (28/1 -40%) Lupset Flossy Pop |
28/1(-40%) | (9) Lupset Flossy Pop 28/1, One win from 30 Flat runs. Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. Good third of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm). Off 6 months. Significantly back up in trip and in the mix. Stamina query ahead of this return from 196 days off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
THE SPOTLIGHT KID did just enough to score on his last two starts and, having won from this mark and higher before, going up 3lb for his latest success might not prevent him from rounding out a hat-trick. Overnight Oats is an obvious threat based on his current form and has also won off higher than his current rating. Eccentric and Lupset Flossy Pop are a couple of others who can get competitive on these terms.
OVERNIGHT OATS continues to thrive and can rack up a four-timer having done well to score at Lingfield last time out. Hat-trick seeking The Spotlight Kid appeals as the one to chase home James Owen's 4-y-o, with Eccentric, Lupset Flossy Pop and Harry The Haggle in the picture too.
The Spotlight Kid and OVERNIGHT OATS are thriving and the latter is fancied to make it four on the bounce.

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.
