---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (6/5 +73%) Blue Seeker |
6/5(+73%) | (7) Blue Seeker 6/5, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 7 in novice at Redcar (6f, heavy) 59 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut. Gelded since last seen and should improve. Possible improver in handicaps after being gelded; one to keep a close eye on in market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (80/1 -344%) Sweet Cicely |
80/1(-344%) | (10) Sweet Cicely 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, seventh of 9 in novice at this course (6.1f) 38 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task on form to date but step up in trip should suit. Never a threat in maiden/novices over 6f but may fare better in handicaps over further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 +40%) Thiscouldbefun |
9/2(+40%) | (3) Thiscouldbefun 9/2, 7/2, good second of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks up to winning in this grade and enters calculations. Placed in AW nurseries last twice and won't need to find much more for cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (7/2 +13%) Arlecchino's Rex |
7/2(+13%) | (11) Arlecchino's Rex 7/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 11-runner nursery at this C&D (6/1) 33 days ago, kept up to work to win by clear margin. Should have more to come in this company and merits plenty of respect. Had plenty to spare when well backed on C&D nursery debut and can defy a 9lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/1 -20%) Dandy G Boy |
9/1(-20%) | (2) Dandy G Boy 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 11 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f) 66 days ago. Should be suited by return to 7f and merits consideration. Beaten favourite both nurseries but seemingly thought capable of better; has been gelded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (12/1 -140%) Specified |
12/1(-140%) | (9) Specified 12/1, 3/1, creditable 1¾ lengths fifth of 10 to Piranha Rama in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f) 47 days ago, nearest finish. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Second on 6f AW nursery debut and excuses twice since; up in trip for in-form yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (20/1 -100%) Eva Dickson |
20/1(-100%) | (6) Eva Dickson 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Makes handicap debut. Bred to do better over further next year so has work to do here. Possible improver in handicaps for good stable; check the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (20/1 -43%) Roselily |
20/1(-43%) | (8) Roselily 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 9/1). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut up in trip. Needs to progress to figure. Off for 192 days ahead of her nursery/AW debut; check betting with the yard going well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (50/1 -127%) Rogue Endeavour |
50/1(-127%) | (1) Rogue Endeavour 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in nursery at Kempton (7f, 80/1) 57 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes. Promise on debut but struggled badly since; changed hands for 2,500gns since last seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (33/1 +0%) Almasi |
33/1(+0%) | (12) Almasi 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 11 in nursery (33/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 7 days ago. Not taken lightly. Slightly better for new yard when fifth last week but will need to build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (33/1 -136%) Oasis Sunrise |
33/1(-136%) | (4) Oasis Sunrise 33/1, Fourth of 7 in novice (17/2) at this course (6.1f) 38 days ago. Looks exposed and needs a couple of these to falter. Has some form which gives her a shout but not at her best in AW nurseries the last twice. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Many of these have the potential to progress now pitched into nurseries, including Blue Point gelding Blue Seeker, and Eva Dickson, who are both bred to be better than their opening marks. However, the vote goes to ARLECCHINO'S REX. A comprehensive winner over C&D on his nursery debut last month, Mark Usher's charge is drawn to attack from stall one and makes most appeal. Thiscouldbefun is also noted.
ARLECCHINO'S REX was impressive here last month and can follow up at the expense of Thiscouldbefun, while Dandy G Boy enters calculations stepping back up to 7f.
The market spoke for ARLECCHINO'S REX (nap) on his C&D nursery debut and he won so easily that a 9lb rise may well not stop him.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (10/3 +5%) Layla Liz |
10/3(+5%) | (1) Layla Liz 10/3, Twice-raced winner. Winner at Leicester in October. 9/2, second of 9 in novice at this course (6.1f) 38 days ago. Has to concede penalty here but should be in the mix. Turf debut win and bettered that when second over 6f here; 5f could suit her even better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/1 +0%) Be An Angel |
10/1(+0%) | (4) Be An Angel 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in novice (17/2) at this course (6.1f) 38 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Edged out by Layla Liz on turf debut but further behind that rival over 6f here since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (13/8 -18%) Naughty Eyes |
13/8(-18%) | (2) Naughty Eyes 13/8, Promising individual. 6/1, impressive when won 12-runner maiden at this course (6.1f) on debut 45 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Sandscreendeliverd, readily. Looks well capable of following up. Easily saw off Sandscreendeliverd on 6f course debut; useful prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/1 +31%) Mollymook |
11/1(+31%) | (5) Mollymook 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. Showed good speed when third at Sandown on debut and may bounce back returning from 122 days off. Promise when third on turf debut but only sixth on AW since; off for 122 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/4 +68%) Sandscreendeliverd |
9/4(+68%) | (3) Sandscreendeliverd 9/4, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in novice (14/1) at this C&D 12 days ago, not ideally placed but running on late. Should progress. Promise on both runs here this autumn but Naughty Eyes holds him on debut form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (25/1 -127%) Rye |
25/1(-127%) | (6) Rye 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 20/1, second of 8 in novice at Kempton (6f) 36 days ago. Unlikely to be suited by this drop in trip on qualifying run. Left debut behind when second over 6f at Kempton but another good step forward is needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
NAUGHTY EYES might be 10lb worse off with Sandscreendeliverd having beat him over 6f here on her racecourse debut, but, given the greenness she showed that day, improvement looks highly likely. George Boughey's filly can confirm her superiority over that rival, although Layla Liz, who sets the standard with an official rating of 80, is a real threat in this sprint.
Several of these have reason to recommend them but NAUGHTY EYES created a big impression on debut and can prove too good for Layla Liz and Sandscreendeliverd.
The way NAUGHTY EYES travelled when scoring easily on 6f debut here suggests the drop to 5f won't faze her and she can make it 2-2.

1st (4) (14/1 -17%) Breccia |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Breccia 14/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at this course (14f) 35 days ago. Place chance if back to form. Unlucky not to finish closer here in September; holds each-way claims back up in distance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/1 -33%) Further Measure |
10/1(-33%) | (2) Further Measure 10/1, Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at this course (14f) 24 days ago, left with too much to do. Can make presence felt. On a handy mark; quite capable but needs to settle better than has often been the case. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (15/8 -7%) Payment Plan |
15/8(-7%) | (1) Payment Plan 15/8, Overcame steady pace to win 8-runner handicap (8/11) at Southwell (16.5f) 35 days ago. Thriving right now and has good chance of completing hat-trick. Improver since upped to this sort of trip; likely there's more to come; has leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (4/1 +50%) Mamdoh |
4/1(+50%) | (7) Mamdoh 4/1, First run since leaving Owen Burrows when fourth of 10 in handicap (16/5) at this course (14f) 35 days ago. Needs more upped further in trip. Below market expectations for his new yard here five weeks ago and goes up in trip again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/2 +10%) Sir Joseph Swan |
9/2(+10%) | (5) Sir Joseph Swan 9/2, Latest win at Southwell in November. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 2/1) 4 days ago, needing stiffer test. Up to defying this mark and should be in the mix. The blinkers have helped and there's no obvious reason why he won't go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (25/1 -25%) Two Plus Two |
25/1(-25%) | (8) Two Plus Two 25/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Seventh of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Not easy to make a case for. Poor maiden who's had plenty of chances at this level; blinkers returning shouldn't hurt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (16/1 -100%) Anisoptera |
16/1(-100%) | (3) Anisoptera 16/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 7 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Has looked on the downgrade this season and the surface switch needs to help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (10/1 +17%) Wahoo King |
10/1(+17%) | (11) Wahoo King 10/1, 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 73 days ago, very much having run of race. Blinkers on 1st time. Not sure to be in same form this time. Low mileage still but the switch to blinkers will need to help a good deal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (8/1 +33%) Shaad |
8/1(+33%) | (12) Shaad 8/1, 17/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 14 days ago, doing too much too soon. Blinkers back on and not without hope for thriving yard. Switches headgear with something to prove having again run poorly last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (66/1 -65%) Uther Pendragon |
66/1(-65%) | (10) Uther Pendragon 66/1, Well beaten last 2 starts. Hard to fancy. Long way behind Sir Joseph Swan last time and will do well to feature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (100/1 +0%) Devore |
100/1(+0%) | (6) Devore 100/1, First run since leaving Mark Loughnane when last of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 80/1) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Plenty to prove. This much longer trip (first run at beyond 1m2f) is far from assured on pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (9) (66/1 -65%) Robeam |
66/1(-65%) | (9) Robeam 66/1, C&D winner. 50/1, refused to race in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) on debut over fences 15 days ago. Plenty to prove back on the Flat. Risks involved with him refusing to jump away over hurdles last time; hard to fancy anyway. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PAYMENT PLAN's form has been on an upward curve since being upped to an extended 2m, beating Sir Joseph Swan at Southwell before following up narrowly at the same venue next time. Ryan Kavanagh takes off a handy 7lb and, given that he remains open to improvement, he can complete his hat-trick. Mamdoh plugged on for fourth over 1m6f here last month and is interesting upped further in distance.
Payment Plan holds obvious claims in pursuit of the hat-trick but it may be worth taking a chance on SHAAD at bigger odds for a yard sure to find the key to him at some point, Sir Joseph Swan is proving consistent and also shouldn't be far away.
The lightly raced PAYMENT PLAN has plenty in his favour chasing the hat-trick. Further Measure should fare better too.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (2/1 0%) King's Code |
2/1(0%) | (6) King's Code 2/1, 3 wins from 18 runs this year. 5/1, confirmed promise of previous run in refitted visor when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D 33 days ago, by 3 lengths from Koy Koy, readily. Very much of interest again from revised mark. Won this last year and comes here on the back of an easy win last month; strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/2 +36%) Andaleep |
9/2(+36%) | (2) Andaleep 9/2, Smashing advert for this yard who ran another fine race when runner-up in London Middle Distance Final at Kempton on penultimate start. Not at best when sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 35 days ago but he's very much the type to bounce back. Fine servant who has been as good as ever as an 8yo; should make another bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/1 -57%) Felix |
11/1(-57%) | (1) Felix 11/1, C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, never figured on the back of 7 months off when last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 35 days ago. Back down in trip and no surprise to see him step up on that effort. Conditions to suit; won this race in 2019 & 3rd behind two of these last year; poor latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (50/1 -100%) Dayzee |
50/1(-100%) | (7) Dayzee 50/1, C&D winner who has become unreliable, refusing to race on debut for new yard in September. Was much better than she could show (badly hampered under 1f out) when ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 23 days ago but she clearly comes with risks attached. C&D winner but refused to race on her penultimate start and she was well beaten latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/4 +21%) Civil Law |
11/4(+21%) | (5) Civil Law 11/4, 4-time C&D winner (won this race 2 years ago) who has been very lightly raced this year and better for a return spin on turf when fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 8 days ago, not ideally placed. Return to further in his favour back at this venue. Won this race in 2022 and 2nd last year; promising fifth latest; major player once again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (15/2 +25%) Tempus |
15/2(+25%) | (3) Tempus 15/2, Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (1m) 36 days ago. Comes here operating from career-low mark and ease in class rates a positive. On a losing run but retains ability and he's down the weights; steps back up in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (15/2 -50%) Koy Koy |
15/2(-50%) | (4) Koy Koy 15/2, Has a good record here, adding to his tally when dead-heating over C&D in November prior to finishing runner-up behind King's Code back here 7 days later. Clearly not 100% when pulled up at Newcastle (1m) 3 weeks ago and another likely type to bounce back. C&D win last month; put in his place by King's Code since; pulled up latest; opposable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
KING'S CODE and Koy Koy have developed a rivalry in recent outings, and it is the former who is taken to come out on top again, having scored by three lengths over C&D at the expense of George Boughey's charge last month. A 7lb rise for that success should be within range and it may be Civil Law who is the biggest threat this time.
Last year's winner KING'S CODE confirmed the promise of his previous start when running out an impressive winner of a C&D handicap 33 days ago and he should be very competitive again up 7 lb. Civil Law goes well here and he's a threat. Felix is another not out of things from his reduced mark.
King's Code (2023) and CIVIL LAW (2022) have won the last two renewals of this race and the latter is marginally preferred today.

1st (2) (11/2 +8%) Masqool |
11/2(+8%) | (2) Masqool 11/2, Course winner. Third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 4/1) 21 days ago, running on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. On a dangerous mark; step back up from 1m is in his favour and he goes on the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/2 +30%) Paradoxical |
7/2(+30%) | (6) Paradoxical 7/2, 11/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D 10 days ago, driven out. Carries penalty and this looks tougher. Excuses with one thing and another before showing the right spirit over C&D latest; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (12/1 -20%) Under Fox |
12/1(-20%) | (3) Under Fox 12/1, Off 19 months before third of 11 in handicap (50/1) at this course (8.6f) 12 days ago, well positioned. Well treated if able to back that up. Entitled to have needed his comeback from 18 months off; that was reasonably promising. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (28/1 -12%) Mykonos St John |
28/1(-12%) | (5) Mykonos St John 28/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 19 runs this year. Latest win here in October. Below form last 4 starts so has plenty to prove. Dual 8.6f winner here in the autumn but held since; still to convince over the longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (10/1 0%) I Can't Believe |
10/1(0%) | (7) I Can't Believe 10/1, Gambled on when respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (6/4) 5 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Plenty more required. Evidently felt capable of better; much will depend on how he responds to headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (1/1 +20%) Overnight Oats |
1/1(+20%) | (1) Overnight Oats 1/1, 4 wins from 15 runs this year, including 10-runner handicap at this course (8.6f, 7/4) 5 days ago, comfortably. Upped in trip here and carries penalty, but looks hard to beat in current heart. Pulled hard the only time he's been this far but the one to beat under penalty if settling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (18/1 -13%) Mr Trick |
18/1(-13%) | (8) Mr Trick 18/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Wouldn't dismiss. Hard to win with over various distances but is quite capable off this mark; each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (16/1 +36%) Celebrating Ethel |
16/1(+36%) | (4) Celebrating Ethel 16/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 20/1) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has work to do. Regressive since leaving Ireland; much will hinge on how she responds to headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (80/1 -471%) James Park Woods |
80/1(-471%) | (9) James Park Woods 80/1, Two wins from 41 Flat runs. Latest win at Brighton in September. 10/3, seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 79 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and has a bit to find. Typically inconsistent on soft turf in autumn; nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (150/1 -50%) Ballet Blanc |
150/1(-50%) | (10) Ballet Blanc 150/1, Last of 7 in novice claiming hurdle (200/1) at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 22 days ago. Significantly down in trip back on the Flat and is hard to fancy. Poor maiden who's offered little in three runs back from an absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
It is difficult to look past OVERNIGHT OATS, who continues to go from strength to strength and stepping up in trip could eke out further improvement. James Owen's charge can land the five-timer at the main expense of recent C&D winner Paradoxical, and Masqool, who was a highly creditable third at Chelmsford last time out. Mr Trick and Under Fox are capable of going well too.
OVERNIGHT OATS is thriving right now and can complete the 5-timer. Under Fox is well treated and can chase him home, while Mr Trick isn't without hope, either.
Overnight Oats isn't taken on lightly but the vote goes to MASQOOL, who's a stone lower than when narrowly beaten here in February.

1st (4) (9/4 +32%) Paradias |
9/4(+32%) | (4) Paradias 9/4, Latest win at Goodwood (9f) in August. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 11/1) 35 days ago, headway under pressure over 1f out and keeping on. Should be competitive again. Glorious Goodwood winner in August; form of AW debut third last month franked; good shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (13/2 +35%) Dream Harder |
13/2(+35%) | (6) Dream Harder 13/2, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023 but largely consistent, going close when edged out late on at Ascot (12f) in August. Absent since finishing down the field in Mallard Handicap (14.5f) at Doncaster in September but bounce back distinctly possible. On a good mark if 104-day break revives him but others arrive with more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (14/1 -75%) Intinso |
14/1(-75%) | (3) Intinso 14/1, Took his form up a notch to resume winning ways over C&D in March and finished third next 2 starts. However, failed to beat a rival at Royal Ascot/Glorious Goodwood and since left John & Thady Gosden for only 7,000 gns in October. Betting can guide. Very useful but ended his time with Gosden yard on a low note and since sold for 7,000gns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/4 +39%) Haku |
11/4(+39%) | (5) Haku 11/4, 5-y-o who enhanced his good record here when bagging a fifth C&D handicap in November. Backed that up with a creditable third of 9 in handicap at Southwell 12 days ago and likely to be thereabouts again for all his present mark makes things tougher. Excellent 5-6 over C&D; fair third at Southwell latest and should go well back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (13/2 -117%) Onesmoothoperator |
13/2(-117%) | (1) Onesmoothoperator 13/2, Landed a second major handicap at Newcastle when bagging Northumberland Plate in June. Acquitted himself well in face of some stern assignments since, cosily landing Group 3 at Geelong and not seen to best effect in Melbourne Cup. Respected back on these shores. Has won two good prizes this year, including on AW, but very smart effort needed off 106. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (4/1 +0%) Claymore |
4/1(+0%) | (2) Claymore 4/1, Winless since landing Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2022 but comes here having run creditably when third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 7/1) 20 days ago. Not had many goes at this sort of trip but suspicion he'll need to pull out a little more if he's to take this. Showed he can be competitive from lofty mark when third over 1m2f at Newcastle latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A winner at Glorious Goodwood in the summer over 1m1f, PARADIAS never built on that success, but he hinted at a return to form when a promising third over this distance at Southwell last time out. He is narrowly preferred to the consistent Haku, who has not been outside the first three on his last four starts. An encouraging third over shorter here last time out, Claymore is another to note.
PARADIAS produced another solid effort when third at Southwell 5 weeks ago and he could be the way to go with the Alan King yard continuing in good form. Haku comes here in tremendous nick and is feared along with Dream Harder in a competitive small-field affair.
Haku isn't opposed lightly over this C&D but PARADIAS has had the form of his latest Southwell third boosted and is preferred.

1st (4) (14/1 +44%) Documenting |
14/1(+44%) | (4) Documenting 14/1, Three-time C&D winner, with latest win at Chelmsford in April. In first-time cheekpieces, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 18/1) 12 days ago. Needs to get back on track with headgear left off. Admirable veteran but his recent efforts need bettering for him to contend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (25/1 +0%) Revolutionise |
25/1(+0%) | (11) Revolutionise 25/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 20 runs this year, back to form when scoring at Chelmsford City in November. However, failed to repeat that effort when eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 22/1) 15 days ago. Goes well over C&D and he's won three times this year; could be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (17/2 +23%) Waiting All Night |
17/2(+23%) | (8) Waiting All Night 17/2, Course winner who scored twice at Newmarket in August. Back down in grade, ran respectably when fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/2) 35 days ago. Remains lightly raced on all-weather. Two Newmarket wins this summer; fair fourth back on AW latest; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/1 +13%) Christian David |
7/1(+13%) | (1) Christian David 7/1, Doubled his tally at Goodwood in June. After 6 months off, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 5/1) 2 weeks ago. Could step forward from his recent outing as he makes tapeta debut. Sharper for recent return and yard going well at present; lower draw preferable though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (4/1 +20%) Alzahir |
4/1(+20%) | (3) Alzahir 4/1, Successful on second start for current yard at Leicester in October. Has continued in good heart since, second of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 5/2) a week ago. Major player back down in grade. In good form on AW since winning a turf seller in October; in the thick of it again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (7/2 +22%) Altmore |
7/2(+22%) | (6) Altmore 7/2, Won on first 2 starts this year, making a successful handicap debut at Pontefract (6f) in October. Good effort when second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 14/1) 8 days ago and he could still have more to offer. Good second at Kempton (1m) last week; 2lb lower today and 7f may prove to be his trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (28/1 -100%) Follow Your Heart |
28/1(-100%) | (12) Follow Your Heart 28/1, Three-time C&D winner who ran better than for a while when successful at Kempton in October. Couldn't quite match that form, though, when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/2) 55 days ago, racing freely. Class 5 win in October but he looks vulnerable at this level from a wide stall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (10/3 +33%) Hat Toss |
10/3(+33%) | (7) Hat Toss 10/3, Arrives in good form, winning at Sandown in August and Chelmsford City in November, before running at least as well when second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 5/2) 23 days ago. Could be in the mix. Improving handicapper and his latest Lingfield second has been franked; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (33/1 -371%) Almarada Prince |
33/1(-371%) | (5) Almarada Prince 33/1, Back down in trip, gained first victory of the year when staying on to lead late in 9-runner handicap at this course (5.1f, 8/1) 17 days ago. Remains on a workable mark as he returns to this longer distance. Last-gasp win over 5f here 17 days ago; stall 12 and 7f are reasons to look elsewhere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (18/1 -13%) Flag Of St George |
18/1(-13%) | (10) Flag Of St George 18/1, Finished last year out of form and, after 8 months off (had breathing operation), fared no better when sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 10/1) in April. Absent again since ahead of tapeta debut. Absent since April; has been gelded but he has more to prove than most. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (17/2 -31%) Brasil Power |
17/2(-31%) | (2) Brasil Power 17/2, C&D winner who opened account for the season at Kempton (7f) in August. Ran well under a penalty when second of 9 in handicap at the same C&D (5/2) 6 days later, so he's respected after a break (has good record fresh). He's been in good nick after a wind op last December; should make another bold bid. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
HAT TOSS has held his form well of late and, from a potentially advantageous draw, he can continue his good run. The form of his recent second at Lingfield has been well advertised since and, off just 2lb higher, the case looks solid. Brasil Power, a C&D winner off 8lb lower, has also been in good heart and is noteworthy. Altmore and Alzahir complete the shortlist.
ALZAHIR has been going through a good spell since joining his current yard, running well when second in a class 2 at Chelmsford a week ago, so he is taken to go one better as he drops back down in grade. Heading the list of dangers is Altmore, who got back on the up on his latest outing, while Brasil Power is also one to consider after a break.
Hat Toss isn't opposed lightly but ALTMORE is unexposed over further than 6f and can take advantage of a favourable mark.

1st (7) (16/1 -33%) Mashaan |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Mashaan 16/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 4 days ago. Not discounted despite wide draw. Best effort for a while when fourth over 6f on Sunday; tricky draw back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (13/2 -8%) Autumn Angel |
13/2(-8%) | (5) Autumn Angel 13/2, Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Operating off a reduced mark now and her last two runs have been encouraging; e-w claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (33/1 -106%) Heavenly Fire |
33/1(-106%) | (3) Heavenly Fire 33/1, Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Drawn widest of all, so others make greater appeal. 0-15 and she'll have her work cut out to break her duck from the outside stall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (6/4 +81%) Pessoa |
6/4(+81%) | (1) Pessoa 6/4, Three-time C&D winner. Step back in right direction when fifth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at this course (9.5f) 41 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Back down in trip. Still very well treated on last year's form. Two C&D wins last winter; dangerous mark and in better form than his figures suggest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (15/2 -88%) Seas Of Elzaam |
15/2(-88%) | (6) Seas Of Elzaam 15/2, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 11/1) 57 days ago. Hard to fancy on recent form but yard's runners always worth market check. Thrown in on his 2024 best and conditions no problem; interesting, especially if backed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (15/2 -67%) Tenyatta |
15/2(-67%) | (8) Tenyatta 15/2, C&D winner. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 15/8) 6 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. More reliable than most at this level and is respected again. C&D win in April; beaten eight times since but in form and headgear could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (28/1 -40%) Nasneen |
28/1(-40%) | (12) Nasneen 28/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (8f) 51 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Exposed maiden; bits of form give her claims now tried in new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (7/1 +22%) My Boy Jack |
7/1(+22%) | (4) My Boy Jack 7/1, Good second at Lingfield and shaped as if still in form when never-nearer eighth at Newcastle (6f, 5/1) 14 days ago. Player. Quiet latest but knocking at the door beforehand; stays 7f but all wins at 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (10/1 +29%) Available Angel |
10/1(+29%) | (11) Available Angel 10/1, Two wins from 43 Flat runs. Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago. Others make more appeal. Return to 7f should suit and her two runs last month were both encouraging enough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (18/1 -50%) Tres Chic |
18/1(-50%) | (9) Tres Chic 18/1, Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 28/1) 6 days ago, running on. Claims if arriving in same form here. Three-time turf winner; best AW run when 3rd at Southwell (1m) last week; e-w shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (25/1 -150%) Batal Dandy |
25/1(-150%) | (2) Batal Dandy 25/1, Latest win at Kempton in October. Raced too freely when eighth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 24 days ago. Hood now applied having dropped back to last winning mark. 7f win off this mark in October; not so good the last twice; new headgear tried today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (40/1 -100%) Zambezi Diamond |
40/1(-100%) | (10) Zambezi Diamond 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 20/1, fourth of 5 in maiden at Bath (5f, good to firm). Off 102 days. Significantly back up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Little convincing form in novice/maiden company; unexposed but improvement is a must. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
AUTUMN ANGEL is dangerously well handicapped based on past exploits and, with Jack Doughty claiming 3lb, Tony Carroll's mare can make the most of running off 14lb lower than her last winning mark. A three-time course winner over 6f, My Boy Jack is consistent at this sort of level and can again be on the premises, while previous C&D winner Tenyatta is another to note.
AUTUMN ANGEL has slipped a long way in the weights and produced her best effort for some time at Newcastle a fortnight ago, so gets the nod over Tenyatta. Pessoa is also interesting dropping into this grade having gone with much more promise last time.
The market should provide pointers but SEAS OF ELZAAM looks handicapped to win at this low level. Autumm Angel is next best.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (9/2 -35%) Match Anthem |
9/2(-35%) | (4) Match Anthem 9/2, Opened account in 11-runner handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) just under 7 weeks ago, leading entering final 1f. Merits serious consideration nudged up just 2 lb. 11th time lucky when winning a 7f handicap at Chelmsford last month; 2lb rise manageable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (5/4 +58%) Ash Wednesday |
5/4(+58%) | (11) Ash Wednesday 5/4, Confirmed the improvement shown previously when good third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 6/1) just under 11 weeks ago. Makes tapeta debut. Solid each-way claims. 0-8 but better the last twice; well drawn for a prominent racer; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (18/1 -13%) Monsieur Fantaisie |
18/1(-13%) | (2) Monsieur Fantaisie 18/1, 40/1, possibly still needed the run when seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) just under 3 weeks ago. Should be at his peak after two runs back from a summer break; on a winning mark; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (16/1 -33%) Fact Or Fable |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Fact Or Fable 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in August. Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 50/1) just over 2 weeks ago. Front-runner; well drawn and should be sharper for a recent run; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (7/1 -40%) Mr Slicker |
7/1(-40%) | (9) Mr Slicker 7/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 22/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago, keeping on well final 1f. Player if able to build on that. Last two runs have been better; each-way shout if building on last week's Southwell fourth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (16/1 -45%) Believe It |
16/1(-45%) | (1) Believe It 16/1, 22/1, below form when last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) just over 3 weeks ago. Makes tapeta debut. Dropped 3 lb and a bounce back is required. Unexposed filly but she needs to produce a career best to score. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (16/1 -14%) Outreach |
16/1(-14%) | (6) Outreach 16/1, C&D winner, latest in July. 33/1, again below form when eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 40 days ago. Mark continues to tumble. Won this race last year; also scored here in July; one of the likelier types. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (80/1 +20%) The Toff |
80/1(+20%) | (10) The Toff 80/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. 80/1, last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 13 days ago. Can only be watched. Poor strike-rate; yet to beat a rival for current yard and he has the worst draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (14/1 -17%) Aspire To Glory |
14/1(-17%) | (12) Aspire To Glory 14/1, 22/1 and blinkered for 1st time, below form when eighth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 7 days ago. Eyeshields on 1st time. Two 7f wins last winter; not at his best of late and others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (12/1 +25%) Hawajes |
12/1(+25%) | (7) Hawajes 12/1, Latest win at Chepstow in September. 25/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, again below form when tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) just over 7 weeks ago. Others more persuasive. Recent efforts uninspiring but he's won twice over 7f this year and back to a winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (50/1 -52%) Pasea Grande |
50/1(-52%) | (8) Pasea Grande 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Offered little in first-time cheekpieces after 3 months off when last of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 18/1) in October. Looks an easy swerve. Last of 12 on handicap debut (6f) in October; drawn wide and has a good deal to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (25/1 -150%) Gidwa |
25/1(-150%) | (5) Gidwa 25/1, Course winner. Offered little after 6 months off when last of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (6f) 9 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Course winner; made a low-key return from a break last week; others appeal more. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Several have chances but it could pay to side with ASH WEDNESDAY, who looks well worth another try over this trip after running out of stream over 1m at Kempton latest. Freshened up by a short break, dropping back a furlong could be ideal for the Heather Main-trained gelding. Match Anthem is feared most, although Hawajes also commands respect back on a winning mark.
MATCH ANTHEM belatedly opened his account at Chelmsford last month and with a 2 lb rise unlikely to be beyond him, he gets the nod to follow up. The main threat may emerge from Mr Slicker, who is on a long losing run but ran his best race for some time at Southwell last week. Ash Wednesday and Believe It can fight out minor honours in what looks a wide-open finale.
Hawajes and Outreach are high on the list but it may be worth chancing MONSIEUR FANTAISIE now he's back at 7f.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
