---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (2.5/1 +25%) Solanna |
2.5/1(+25%) | (1) Solanna 2.5/1, Latest win at Kempton in January. 17/2, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 20 days ago. Wouldn't rule out back on grass under Murphy. In good form, third at Kempton latest; well in the mix back on turf off an unchanged mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6.5/1 +28%) Mc'Ted |
6.5/1(+28%) | (4) Mc'Ted 6.5/1, C&D winner. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 9/1) 12 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly. C&D scorer; saddle slipped when third at Chelmsford 12 days ago; one for the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (4.5/1 -13%) Eljaytee |
4.5/1(-13%) | (8) Eljaytee 4.5/1, 25/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy) on return 17 days ago, kept up to work. Good shout if in the same form. Gained breakthrough success over C&D latest; form been franked so a big player once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (22/1 -340%) Girl Inthe Picture |
22/1(-340%) | (2) Girl Inthe Picture 22/1, Won twice last season. Off 6 months. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Dual 1m scorer in 2022 but ended that campaign below par; needs to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/1 +38%) Habanero Star |
5/1(+38%) | (7) Habanero Star 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. 9/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Goes well here and respected. Won at Southwell but only 8th there since; this C&D winner still can't be dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (6.5/1 +59%) Miss Harmony |
6.5/1(+59%) | (6) Miss Harmony 6.5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. 17/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 19 days ago, missing break. Won at Lingfield but beat only one at Chelmsford 19 days ago; needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (6.5/1 -44%) Rose Camira |
6.5/1(-44%) | (5) Rose Camira 6.5/1, Maiden. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Chris Wall. Could find a small race this year. Beat only one at Kempton on final start for Chris Wall; had wind op; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (10/1 +17%) Medrara |
10/1(+17%) | (3) Medrara 10/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in March. Last of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 31 days ago. Won at Chelmsford but last of seven there following month; she needs to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
4/1 (8) ELJAYTEE seems like a strong contender as they had a breakthrough success over the same course and distance in heavy conditions in their most recent race, with their form being confirmed by subsequent performances.
ELJAYTEE got off the mark on his return to action over C&D last month and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him from backing that up on this occasion. Miss Harmony scored at Lingfield on her penultimate start and is capable of bouncing back from her latest effort at Chelmsford, while others worth noting include Solanna and Habanero Star.
ELJAYTEE saw off a subsequent winner when opening his account on his return here recently and can strike again if in the same sort of form up just 3 lb. Habanero Star goes well at Yarmouth and has to be respected. Solanna is another to note under Oisin Murphy.
John Berry's ELJAYTEE (nap) returned an improved model when scoring over C&D and can defy a 3lb rise with that form having been franked

1st (5) (9/1 -38%) Franco Grasso |
9/1(-38%) | (5) Franco Grasso 9/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam when seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 15/2) 28 days ago. Lurks on a tempting mark. Course winner but only seventh at Southwell on his debut for this yard.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2/1 +33%) Bunker Bay |
2/1(+33%) | (2) Bunker Bay 2/1, Maiden. 6/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) when last seen, running on. Off 6 months. Hood on 1st time. Can surely pick up a race or two this year. Yet to win (0-7) but has yet to finish outside the first three in his four handicaps.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2.25/1 +50%) Thefastnthecurious |
2.25/1(+50%) | (1) Thefastnthecurious 2.25/1, Winner at Southwell in January. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 50/1) 25 days ago. Proven on turf and could bounce back under Murphy. Running well on the AW; 0-5 on turf but his career-best RPR came on good to soft.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4.5/1 -35%) Yorkindness |
4.5/1(-35%) | (4) Yorkindness 4.5/1, Keen-going sort who dug deep to open account in a Hamilton maiden (11f) back in August. Good second of 8 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to soft) on return 13 days ago. She's one to consider. Maiden winner; looks vulnerable off this mark but likely to be on the scene.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (7/1 -27%) Placated |
7/1(-27%) | (7) Placated 7/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D (good to firm) when last seen. Off 7 months. Good chance from a handicapping perspective but might need it. Won well here last summer but then seemingly anchored by a 9lb rise the next time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 -50%) Abraaj |
33/1(-50%) | (6) Abraaj 33/1, Case can be made on his French form but little in the way of promise for this yard. 80/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, heavy) 27 days ago. Down in trip. French winner but heavy defeats in Britain on Flat and over hurdles; others safer.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (11/1 -100%) Sarkha |
11/1(-100%) | (3) Sarkha 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 22 days ago, racing freely. May strip fitter for that return and could offer more on turf debut. Only 9-2 for handicap debut and never got chance to do himself justice.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
3/1 (2) BUNKER BAY seems like the strongest contender based on their consistent record of finishing in the top three, good recent form, and potential for improvement with the addition of a hood. 3.33/1 (4) YORKINDNESS and Keen-going sort also have potential to perform well.
BUNKER BAY proved to be consistent once switched to handicap company, finishing second on three occasions, and the first-time hood could make the difference required for him to shed the maiden tag. Sarkha wasn't disgraced when making his handicap bow at Wolverhampton last month and he is capable of stepping forward, while Yorkindness's second at Beverley gives her every chance to be in the mix.
YORKINDNESS returned with a good effort at Beverley and can build on that with victory. Bunker Bay and Placated both make their seasonal comebacks and should be winning this term.
A chance is taken on SARKHA, who got messed about in a muddling race when better was expected of him on his handicap debut.

1st (11) (0.8/1 +54%) Wild Side |
0.8/1(+54%) | (11) Wild Side 0.8/1, Thrice-raced filly. 8/1, second of 7 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) on return 8 days ago. That was much better and she can go close again if building on that, certainly bred to (€225,000 yearling from the family of Golan). Clear second in 6f Pontefract novice eight days ago; she holds very good form claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (28/1 -40%) Ithra |
28/1(-40%) | (4) Ithra 28/1, 40,000 gns yearling, Ardad filly. Half-sister to winner up to 6f Fear Or Favour and 2-y-o 5.3f winner Brazen Safa. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Newcastle (6f, 14/1) on debut, unable to sustain effort. Off 168 days. May well do better. Encouraging start when fifth in 6f Newcastle maiden in November; she can do better now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (7.5/1 -114%) Tajalat |
7.5/1(-114%) | (10) Tajalat 7.5/1, Showcasing filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Sammarr and 1½m winner Jahoori. Lots to like on paper and starts out in a winnable maiden. Lots to recommend her on breeding and also hails from leading yard; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (6/1 +8%) Hakuna Babe |
6/1(+8%) | (3) Hakuna Babe 6/1, 80,000 gns yearling. Roaring Lion filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Starcat and 2-y-o 1m winner Outbreak. Fourth of 12 in minor event (50/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut. Off 6 months. Likely to improve. Fourth in 7f Kempton novice on debut; this daughter of Roaring Lion has more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (8.5/1 -6%) Little Hug |
8.5/1(-6%) | (5) Little Hug 8.5/1, Promise on debut at Newmarket (6f) last summer then pulled up (saddle slipped early) at Nottingham. Off 9 months. Should do better for top yard. Debut 7th in Newmarket maiden; saddle slipped at Nottingham after; remains with potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (18/1 -50%) Morning Colours |
18/1(-50%) | (6) Morning Colours 18/1, Oasis Dream filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1½m winner Tyson Fury and winner up to 7f Eirene, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. One to note on debut. Oasis Dream filly who appeals on pedigree and a much-respected debutante. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/1 -20%) Ayyab |
9/1(-20%) | (1) Ayyab 9/1, 65,000 gns yearling, Adaay filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Velocidad and 1m-11f winner Dajla. Cost plenty for prominent owners and worth a look on debut for in-form yard. Lots to like on paper so this Adaay newcomer needs a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (66/1 -32%) Selenachorus |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Selenachorus 66/1, Twice-raced filly. 22/1, sixth of 11 in minor event at Leicester (7f, heavy) on return 18 days ago. Never dangerous in a pair of novices; daughter of Sea The Moon needs a big step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (22/1 -83%) Rebecca West |
22/1(-83%) | (8) Rebecca West 22/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 13 in minor event (10/1) at Southwell (7.1f) on debut, green and unable to sustain effort. Off 133 days. Open to progress. Debut 9th in 7f Southwell novice in December; in excellent hands and can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (300/1 -200%) Primrose Maid |
300/1(-200%) | (7) Primrose Maid 300/1, Looked a poor maiden last year. Off 6 months. Offered little in five runs as a juvenile; she needs to take a big step forward. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, some horses that could do well are 1.75/1 (11) WILD SIDE, 3.5/1 (10) TAJALAT, 6.5/1 (3) HAKUNA BABE, 7.5/1 (1) AYYAB, 12/1 (6) MORNING COLOURS, and 20/1 (4) ITHRA. However, without more information about the race and the track, it is difficult to make a confident prediction.
WILD SIDE took a decent step forward from her juvenile efforts when second at Pontefract last Monday and the daughter of Kodiac boasts strong credentials to go one better, especially with Oisin Murphy booked for the ride. Tajalat is likely to prove popular on her racecourse bow, with her half-sister being a winner on debut, while Morning Colours, a half-sister to Listed winner Eirene, and Ayyab appeal most of the remainder.
WILD SIDE led pretty much everywhere bar the line on her comeback at Pontefract last week and that was much better from her, so she's taken to open her account now. Tajalat is a likely-looking newcomer for Roger Varian, as is Ayyab for Seb Woods.
Roger Varian's Showcasing newcomer TAJALAT brings plenty of potential and she gets the verdict at the chief expense of Wild Side

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (7.5/1 -25%) Siam Fox |
7.5/1(-25%) | (1) Siam Fox 7.5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Ran respectably under a penalty when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 9/2) when last seen 4 months ago. Others make more appeal. Only 1lb higher than for his win at Wolverhampton; return to turf no bad thing.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (2.75/1 -57%) Grand Libya |
2.75/1(-57%) | (7) Grand Libya 2.75/1, Headgear has evidently had a positive effect this year again and he again ran well when third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 9/2) 48 days ago. Gelded since and has to be taken seriously in his current mood. 0-7 but bang there in two 1m handicaps on the Newcastle AW and the visor is working well.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3.5/1 +22%) Dashing Dick |
3.5/1(+22%) | (5) Dashing Dick 3.5/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 5/2, ran poorly after 10 weeks off when last of 4 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Can get back on track. Consistent run of form in 7f/1m Polytrack handicaps before finishing tailed off on heavy.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (6/1 +0%) Regal Rambler |
6/1(+0%) | (6) Regal Rambler 6/1, Fairly useful maiden who matched exploits for former yard when runner-up in a Newcastle novice (1m) in January. Failed to repeat that effort in cheekpieces at Chelmsford (10f, 13/2) 10 days later but can get involved on turf/handicap debut. 0-5 but denied narrowly on two of those occasions; cheekpieces removed after last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (2.75/1 +21%) Dandy Maestro |
2.75/1(+21%) | (4) Dandy Maestro 2.75/1, 50/1, ran respectably after 4 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Blinkers back on and may feature with Murphy up for the first time. Poorly handicapped since winning three times on turf early last year.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (10/1 -33%) Victoria Grove |
10/1(-33%) | (3) Victoria Grove 10/1, Scored at Chelmsford City in October but not in same form when eighth on both subsequent starts, finding things too competitive at Lingfield (10f, AW) over 4 months ago. Won twice on Polytrack last year under different tactics; as effective on turf.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as each one has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, based on recent form and positive changes, 1.88/1 (7) GRAND LIBYA and 4.5/1 (5) DASHING DICK may be worth considering as potential contenders. 1.88/1 (7) GRAND LIBYA has performed well in two 1m handicaps on the Newcastle AW and has shown improvement with the use of a visor. 4.5/1 (5) DASHING DICK has a consistent run of form in 7f/1m Polytrack handicaps and may rebound from a poor performance in heavy conditions with a return to better conditions.
REGAL RAMBLER could be worth siding with on his turf and handicap debut following a below-par run at Chelmsford over 1m2f in January. A mark of 73 looks workable for the gelded son of Dark Angel and there is likely to be more in his locker. Grand Libya has been consistent of late and remains of interest on his return to turf, while Siam Fox could also bounce back from his most recent run on the all-weather.
Cases can be made for most but GRAND LIBYA has taken his form up a level since fitted with headgear and having been gelded since last seen, Tom Clover's charge gets the tentative nod to open his account. The main threat could be Dandy Maestro, who came good around this time last year and ran respectably after 4 months off at Kempton recently. Regal Rambler can fill out third spot.
William Stone's DASHING DICK was running well before getting stuck in the mud at Leicester and he's taken to win for a third time.

1st (3) (3/1 -84%) Embesto |
3/1(-84%) | (3) Embesto 3/1, 130,000 gns yearling, Roaring Lion colt. Half-brother to useful 7f/1m winner Silent Film and 9f winner Drinks At Vista. Dam 5f (Prix du Petit Couvert)-6.5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Interesting newcomer. 130,000gns yearling; third foal; half-brother to 7f-1m winner Silent Film (RPR 106).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (16/1 +36%) Fly Zone |
16/1(+36%) | (4) Fly Zone 16/1, Once-raced gelding. 14/1, eleventh of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f) on debut, very slowly away. Off 153 days. Type to do better this term. Gelded since last seen. Lost lengths at the start when down the field on sole 2yo start; now gelded.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (2/1 +43%) Umberto |
2/1(+43%) | (12) Umberto 2/1, Posted fairly-useful form both starts thus far, latest when second of 12 in minor event (11/10) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 38 days ago. Likely more to come yet. Strong traveller who has the best form and some handy experience in the bag.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (5/1 +69%) Star Ahoy |
5/1(+69%) | (7) Star Ahoy 5/1, Once-raced colt. Seventh of 14 in minor event (9/2) at Kempton (8f) on debut, not knocked about. Off 153 days. Open to progress. His Kempton 7th wasn't without promise and the form is working out fairly well.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (6.5/1 +28%) Serengeti Sunset |
6.5/1(+28%) | (6) Serengeti Sunset 6.5/1, Twice-raced colt. Left debut form behind when sixth of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (10.2f, 13/2) in November. Back down in trip. Likely to improve. Second run was better than the first and he only weakened out of it late on at Newcastle.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/1 -83%) Covert Legend |
11/1(-83%) | (2) Covert Legend 11/1, Made appeal on pedigree and duly posted promising fourth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (8f) on debut 27 days ago, badly hampered. Should improve and is one for the shortlist. Found some trouble in running when a close fourth at Kempton (1m AW) a month ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (80/1 -100%) Story Horse |
80/1(-100%) | (8) Story Horse 80/1, 65,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath gelding. Brother to smart 9f-12.5f winner Worth Waiting, and half-brother to several winners, including useful 1½m winner From Frost. 65,000gns yearling; 12th foal; brother to 1m1f-12.5f winner Worth Waiting (RPR 111).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (66/1 -32%) All That Glitters |
66/1(-32%) | (1) All That Glitters 66/1, Twice-raced gelding. Seventh of 15 in minor event at this course (10.1f, heavy, 22/1) 17 days ago, never nearer. Down in trip. Up against it. Limited appeal on what he's shown so far and drops in trip.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (25/1 +62%) Plus Point |
25/1(+62%) | (13) Plus Point 25/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in minor event (14/1) at this C&D (soft) on debut, missing break. Off 6 months. Will hold stronger claims when qualified for handicaps. Made no impression after starting slowly over C&D in October (soft; 14-1).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (14/1 -180%) Tajdif |
14/1(-180%) | (10) Tajdif 14/1, Once-raced gelding. 3/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 82 days ago, slowly away. Hood on 1st time. Should progress. Gelded since last seen. Despite a good fourth at Newcastle he's been gelded and is now hooded.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (33/1 +34%) Story Of Peace |
33/1(+34%) | (9) Story Of Peace 33/1, Pivotal gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Voice of Wisdom. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class multiple 5f winner Sole Power. Market check advised on debut. Third foal; half-brother to 1m winner Voice of Wisdom (RPR 86); dam unraced.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (200/1 -100%) Trackman |
200/1(-100%) | (11) Trackman 200/1, Once-raced colt. Twelfth of 13 in minor event (100/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut. Off 6 months. Improvement required. Kicked off at Newmarket last October and finished down the field in a 7f novice.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (66/1 -65%) Golden Moon |
66/1(-65%) | (5) Golden Moon 66/1, 72,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold gelding. Half-brother to 1m-1¼m winner Desert Lion and 7f-1m winner Ayr Harbour, both useful. Dam useful 2-y-o 7f/7.5f winner. 72,000gns yearling; probably one to watch on this belated debut.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
1.63/1 (3) EMBESTO and 6/1 (2) COVERT LEGEND seem to be the most promising based on their pedigrees and past performances. 3.5/1 (12) UMBERTO, 5/1 (10) TAJDIF, 9/1 (6) SERENGETI SUNSET, and 16/1 (7) STAR AHOY also have some potential for improvement. The others may need more experience and time to develop.
Runner-up on both career starts, UMBERTO can have a big say in proceedings based on what he has shown to date. He is entitled to be sharper for his return to action at Lingfield in March, although a first-time hood could see Tajdif build on a fair fourth at Newcastle on debut and he can give the selection plenty to think about. Newcomers Embesto and Story Of Peace are others worthy of a market check.
Preference is for COVERT LEGEND, who met plenty of trouble in running when an encouraging fourth on debut at Kempton last month. He should have learnt plenty from that. Umberto and Serengeti Sunset are also open to improvement and may provide the chief threat in what promises to be an informative contest.
A dangerous betting race with a lot of these open to improvement. UMBERTO just about sets the standard and he can improve some more.

1st (5) (8.5/1 +6%) Invested |
8.5/1(+6%) | (5) Invested 8.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 7/2, third of 5 in minor event at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Something to find on form. Won at Chelmsford (6f) but only 3rd in 1m Nottingham novice; may do better back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (18/1 -64%) Red Maids |
18/1(-64%) | (3) Red Maids 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in nursery (13/2) at Kempton (7f), finding little. Off 146 days. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Tongue strap on 1st time. Must improve. Last at Kempton in December; much more needed for her new yard in first-time tongue-tie. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (4/1 +20%) Risotto |
4/1(+20%) | (10) Risotto 4/1, Below par when sixth on handicap debut at Lingfield latest but had posted an encouraging reappearance at Chelmsford previously and warrants respect. Runner-up at Chelmsford but only sixth at Lingfield 34 days ago; needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (22/1 -57%) Margaret's Fuchsia |
22/1(-57%) | (9) Margaret's Fuchsia 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/1) 29 days ago. Makes turf debut. Cheekpieces back on. Others more appealing. Last tried blinkered at Lingfield last time; can bounce back to form on her turf debut. |

5th (4) (12/1 -118%) Liberty Mountain |
12/1(-118%) | (4) Liberty Mountain 12/1, Improved on final start last year, winning 5-runner minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 11/4) in October. Returns to handicapping on a decent mark and must enter calculations. Won Lingfield novice in October; needs considering on her seasonal return back on turf. |

6th (2) (10/1 +0%) Hot Chesnut |
10/1(+0%) | (2) Hot Chesnut 10/1, 5/1, last of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) 10 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Too free when last at Nottingham 10 days ago; should take a step forward off reduced mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (6/1 -80%) Kodias Sangarius |
6/1(-80%) | (1) Kodias Sangarius 6/1, First run for new yard when creditable second of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 27 days ago, conceding first run. Races off same mark and is one for the shortlist. Good Kempton 2nd for new yard on return; merits serious consideration off unchanged mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (6/1 +40%) Zara's Return |
6/1(+40%) | (8) Zara's Return 6/1, 4/1, last of 5 in minor event at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 27 days ago. Still looking for first success. Looked rusty after 8 months off when last at Nottingham latest; can take a step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (10/1 +0%) Pending Appeal |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Pending Appeal 10/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 22/1) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. In good nick on the AW until last at Kempton 13 days ago; can't be totally dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (3/1 +73%) Miss Mai Tai |
3/1(+73%) | (6) Miss Mai Tai 3/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/1) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. Beat only one for her new yard in 6f Wolver handicap last time; she needs to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, the horse that is most likely to do well is 3.33/1 (1) KODIAS SANGARIUS. It has recently finished in second place in a handicap race and is racing off the same mark, which makes it a strong contender. Additionally, it is described as
Despite hanging right in the closing stages, KODIAS SANGARIUS hit the line with plenty of conviction when runner-up at Kempton last month and gets the nod to relish this step back up in trip. A mark of 71 may still underestimate the four-year-old's ability and she can be on the premises yet again. Liberty Mountain was last seen landing the spoils at Lingfield and she is the most immediate danger on seasonal reappearance, while Invested is another to consider.
KODIAS SANGARIUS made a good start for her new yard at Kempton last month and is entitled to build on that. She can land the spoils. Liberty Mountain and Risotto are feared most.
Henry Spiller's KODIAS SANGARIUS made a promising start when runner-up at Kempton last time and can go one better off an unchanged mark

1st (3) (3/1 -60%) Taskheer |
3/1(-60%) | (3) Taskheer 3/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Posted good fourth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 6 days ago, running on. Remains on a fair mark and not taken lightly. High in the weights and 1m suits better, but has less to prove than most of these.. |

2nd (5) (6.5/1 +0%) Spanish Mane |
6.5/1(+0%) | (5) Spanish Mane 6.5/1, C&D winner. 22/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 17 days ago. Not out of things. Ideally wants fast ground so can be forgiven her soft-ground failure 17 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3/1 +25%) Broxi |
3/1(+25%) | (1) Broxi 3/1, Completed hat-trick at this sort of trip last autumn. Failed to stay 8f latest and is only 1 lb above last winning mark. Shortlisted. 1m was too far on soft last time; not handicapped out of it.. |

4th (2) (5/1 -25%) Old News |
5/1(-25%) | (2) Old News 5/1, 12/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 77 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on pick of form. Capable of better form than he's been showing of late.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (16/1 -33%) Shorts On |
16/1(-33%) | (6) Shorts On 16/1, 20/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Only win came at Southwell and his last two runs have been very poor (cheekpieces/visor).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (2.75/1 +39%) Luna Queen |
2.75/1(+39%) | (4) Luna Queen 2.75/1, Back to winning ways at Lingfield (7f) last month. Below form over same C&D latest but can't be ruled out here. First at Lingfield and third here before struggling from a wide draw last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (50/1 +24%) Artemisia Gentile |
50/1(+24%) | (7) Artemisia Gentile 50/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (10.1f, good to soft, 100/1). Off 6 months. Significantly back down in trip. Hood back on. Not easy to make a strong case for. 1 lb out of the weights. Returning to 7f is probably the right move but still opposable in her current form.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (3) TASKHEER and 4/1 (1) BROXI seem to be the strongest contenders. 1.88/1 (3) TASKHEER has been performing well recently with 2 wins from 4 runs this year and a good fourth place finish in a recent handicap race. 4/1 (1) BROXI has previously completed a hat-trick at this distance and is only 1 lb above his last winning mark. 4.5/1 (4) LUNA QUEEN and 6.5/1 (5) SPANISH MANE also have potential but may not be as strong as 1.88/1 (3) TASKHEER and 4/1 (1) BROXI. The other horses seem to be less convincing choices for a potential winner.
Taskheer has landed the spoils on two of his last three outings and the son of Golden Horn is a big player. That said, all of his three career victories have come over further than this and it may be best to side with BROXI. The handicapper has continued to loosen their grip on the C&D winner and he may be able to bounce back from a lacklustre effort at Windsor now stepping into calmer waters. Spanish Mane posted a respectable effort when fifth at this venue last month and she completes the shortlist.
BROXI is on a workable mark and will be suited by the return to this shorter trip. He gets the nod in the finale. Taskheer and Luna Queen look the likeliest dangers.
In his current form TASKHEER appeals as the most likely winner, even though he's perhaps better at 1m.
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.
