1st (7) (5.5/1 -38%) Chinese Knot |
5.5/1(-38%) | (7) Chinese Knot 5.5/1, Took another step forward under a change of tactics when second on nursery debut at Windsor last week, held up and staying on. One to consider from the same mark. Improved form when 2nd on handicap debut at Windsor; can go well off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 +38%) Midnight Lir |
4/1(+38%) | (4) Midnight Lir 4/1, Went off odds on but seemed beaten on merit at Hamilton (6f) last time. Player on his previous Thirsk second now going handicapping. Quite promising at both sprint trips; not find much on good to soft latest; now back at 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (5/1 +44%) Mr Baloo |
5/1(+44%) | (6) Mr Baloo 5/1, Held in Ascot nursery and the Super Sprint the last twice and has work to do from current mark. Fair 4th in 6f Ascot handicap; no impact in Super Sprint on Saturday; more at home here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/1 -11%) Lieutenant Rascal |
10/1(-11%) | (3) Lieutenant Rascal 10/1, Placed again in 5f Catterick novice last week and could go well on nursery debut in re-fitted blinkers. Thereabouts in all 5f starts apart from a Listed run; opening mark no obvious gift. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (2.5/1 +25%) I'm So Dizzy |
2.5/1(+25%) | (2) I'm So Dizzy 2.5/1, Progressed again to get off the mark in Nottingham novice 3 weeks ago, seeming suited by the good test at 5f. Respected on nursery debut. Improved with each 5f start, finding plenty for Nottingham win; can improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (28/1 -180%) Desert Master |
28/1(-180%) | (5) Desert Master 28/1, Bit disappointing from the plum draw at Chester last time but has shown enough to suggest he can find a race. Good 2nd at Chester this month (5f, good); not so good there latest; capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (6/1 -33%) Callianassa |
6/1(-33%) | (1) Callianassa 6/1, Found the Queen Mary all too much but more much like it when second on nursery bow at York (6f), keeping on and beaten only 2 lengths. Raised 4 lb dropped back in trip (headgear also removed) and probably has races in her. Solid 6f handicap debut at York; up 4lb now back at 5f with regular hood left off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (12/1 -33%) Zola Power |
12/1(-33%) | (8) Zola Power 12/1, Showed a fair bit more from the front in 6f Newbury novice a fortnight ago and could do better still now handicapping. Shaped quite well when 6th at Newbury latest; return to 5f can suit on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
I'm So Dizzy improved to score at Nottingham last time, when showing a lot of pace to go in by a length, so she warrants respect on her first time in handicap company. However, preference is still for CALLIANASSA, who was second at York over 6f off a 4lb lower mark but she was nicely clear of the third and boasts leading claims of going one better. Chinese Knot is also considered after her Windsor second.
MIDNIGHT LIR is worth a chance to bounce back from his disappointing Hamilton run as handicaps can see him in a better light. Lieutenant Rascal can also do better now going into nurseries, while Chinese Knot ran well at Windsor last week and could be in the mix again.
Zola Power is respected back at 5f but I'M SO DIZZY is taken to improve on her recent Nottingham win.

Crow's Nest |
(10) (5/1 +0%)5/1(+0%) | (10) Crow's Nest 5/1, Won 2 sprint novice events last month and continues to progress, unlucky not to finish closer in 3-y-o Newmarket handicap 4 weeks ago that has worked out well. Leading claims. Won 6f/5f novices; one-paced 3rd on handicap debut; needs more but still early days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (8) (12/1 +33%) Dark Trooper |
12/1(+33%) | (8) Dark Trooper 12/1, Dual AW winner in January and returned to form back on turf at Newmarket (7f) last time. Interesting now back sprinting against the older horses. Both wins at 7f on AW in January; acts on turf but high in the weights on return to 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (3/1 +54%) Northern Spirit |
3/1(+54%) | (11) Northern Spirit 3/1, Proved better than ever to get back to winning ways in 6f Nottingham handicap last week, the first-time cheekpieces clearly enabling him to eke out some improvement although he typically hung. Respected under a penalty. 3-6 in 6f handicaps, off the mark in some style last week; more to do under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 -18%) Monsieur Kodi |
10/1(-18%) | (3) Monsieur Kodi 10/1, In good form this year, winning handicaps at Musselburgh (5f) and Thirsk (6f). Ran well at Ayr latest and one to consider. Won at 5f and 6f this year; up 3lb for latest win and this is competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7.5/1 +25%) Bernardo O'Reilly |
7.5/1(+25%) | (2) Bernardo O'Reilly 7.5/1, Won strong 6f Newbury handicap in the mud in April, seen to maximum effect under a waiting ride. Wasn't disgraced having found himself caught away from where the action developed behind Shobiz there latest, though is the sort that needs everything to fall right (prone to missing the break). Solid chance on 6f form in April; found little when last seen in May but can go well fresh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/1 +42%) Hectic |
7/1(+42%) | (5) Hectic 7/1, Close second on 7f Newbury reappearance but hasn't gone on from that, held again fitted with blinkers at Haydock last time. Returns to sprinting. Winning 2yo debut (6f); good 7f handicap debut on return; below par on last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (20/1 -150%) Hiatus |
20/1(-150%) | (12) Hiatus 20/1, Sluiced through the mud to score at Windsor (6f) in May although is proving inconsistent, running one of his lesser races at Kempton 6 weeks ago. First run on soft when clear winner over 6f in May; not ruled out if ground deteriorates. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (3.5/1 -17%) Shobiz |
3.5/1(-17%) | (4) Shobiz 3.5/1, Displayed a willing attitude as he landed good 18-runner 6f Newbury handicap in May. Went close there 6 weeks ago and probably still on the upgrade. Leading claims. In good form at 6f since latest absence; solid chance under K Shoemark, who is 2-3 on him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (6/1 +45%) Faro De San Juan |
6/1(+45%) | (1) Faro De San Juan 6/1, 25/1-winner at Chester last month, his first victory for this yard. Poor off this mark at Pontefract next time though and needs to bounce back. Useful form when 3rd at Doncaster in April; Chester winner in June; good run on the cards. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (12/1 -9%) Rathbone |
12/1(-9%) | (7) Rathbone 12/1, Yet to score this term but he arrives in good nick, never nearer from wide draw at Beverley (5f) last time. One to note back over 6f. Has won on soft; went close at Pontefract in June; return to 6f will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (33/1 -65%) Bear Profit |
33/1(-65%) | (6) Bear Profit 33/1, Shaped a bit better than his previous starts this season in spite of the drop back to 5f at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago and a contender if building on that returned to 6f. Both wins on AW; never gone on from close 3rd of 6 on turf at Newmarket last summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (33/1 -65%) Some Nightmare |
33/1(-65%) | (9) Some Nightmare 33/1, Been running respectably at Chepstow but this is tougher. In good form at 5f and 6f but others look to have better marks to exploit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A chance can be taken on BERNARDO O'REILLY, who could only manage seventh behind Shobiz when seen in May. However, that was on good ground and his form this year on a softer surface has been of a much higher standard and he ought to go close. Crow's Nest is less exposed than most of these and needs to be considered off the same rating as his Newmarket third.
SHOBIZ is probably still on the up despite his short-priced reverse at Newbury 6 weeks ago and he can resume winning ways. Lightly-raced 3-y-o Crow's Nest looked unlucky not to finish closer in a Newmarket race that has worked out well 4 weeks ago and he's a big player. Nottingham-winner Northern Spirit is respected also.
A case can be made for several but on his best form in France and Britain FARO DE SAN JUAN would have a good stab.

1st (10) (4.5/1 +10%) Achillea |
4.5/1(+10%) | (10) Achillea 4.5/1, Unexposed and upped her game when a good third of 9 in handicap at Ascot (7f, soft) 12 days ago, finishing well. Return to 1m will suit and she should have a bigger performance in her. Kept on as if return to 1m will suit when third over 7f on good to soft latest; unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (1.88/1 +53%) Shahbaz |
1.88/1(+53%) | (5) Shahbaz 1.88/1, Good third of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good, 4/1) 18 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Kept to this distance but a visor may sharpen him up. Good third to a thriving sort at Ayr (1m) latest; visor replaces cheekpieces; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7.5/1 +17%) United Front |
7.5/1(+17%) | (4) United Front 7.5/1, Lower in the weights on turf and cashed in at Beverley in June. 13/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 14 days ago, running on and this is a slight drop back in class. Finally came good on turf at Beverley last month but handicapper in control since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4.5/1 +44%) Sun King |
4.5/1(+44%) | (2) Sun King 4.5/1, Has just a maiden win to his name in Ireland but sound start to life for new yard in competitive handicaps to start 2023. Did too much too soon fitted with cheekpieces on the AW in June. Yet to progress for new yard but mark edging down; drops back to 1m after short break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (14/1 -115%) Devasboy |
14/1(-115%) | (9) Devasboy 14/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1 and visored for first time, good third of 11 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft) 13 days ago, running on. Return to 1m will suit. May have won with clearer run at Chester latest; has to be respected off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (28/1 -211%) Alexander James |
28/1(-211%) | (7) Alexander James 28/1, Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner seller at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 11/8) 20 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby and this clearly demands more. Changed yards after winning seller latest; on competitive mark and fine on good to soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (22/1 +12%) Awtaad Prince |
22/1(+12%) | (8) Awtaad Prince 22/1, Novice winner at Leicester in October. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 50 days ago and headgear now on. Yet to get competitive this year and doesn't obviously want 1m; headgear combination added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (7.5/1 -88%) Repertoire |
7.5/1(-88%) | (3) Repertoire 7.5/1, Latest win at Newmarket in May and shaped well when second at Hamilton 3 weeks ago. Stronger gallop will see him in an even better light. 1m winner in May; good second at Hamilton latest; thereabouts from unchanged mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (20/1 -100%) Tahitian Prince |
20/1(-100%) | (6) Tahitian Prince 20/1, Good third of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (8f) 29 days ago, not ideally placed. Lurks on a dangerous mark if he can build on that. Four wins in 2021; not seen too often since but latest 1m AW third was creditable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
REPERTOIRE did well to finish second off a slow pace at Hamilton last time and he has been left on the same mark, so with the drop in grade, he could prove very hard to beat. Shahbaz sports a first-time visor after his third at Ayr and he should go well once more, along with last-time-out scorer Alexander James and United Front.
The return to 1m is sure to suit the 3-y-o ACHILLEA and with the prospect of more to come on this her third handicap start. she's awarded the vote. Shahbaz and Repertoire are just a couple of potential threats.
The Charlie Fellowes-trained SHAHBAZ won in first-time cheekpieces last autumn and can repeat the feat in a first-time visor.

1st (4) (3.33/1 +39%) Farhh To Shy |
3.33/1(+39%) | (4) Farhh To Shy 3.33/1, C&D who tanked along when resuming winning ways in class 2 handicap at Ascot (1m) in May. Has shaped as if still in top form both outings since, running out of steam late on back at that venue 12 days ago. Return to 7f could be just the ticket from what clearly remains a handy mark. Won over 1m on soft at Ascot in May but arguably even better at 7f; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (14/1 -17%) Able Kane |
14/1(-17%) | (1) Able Kane 14/1, Bounced back to his best from an easing mark in a refitted tongue strap/blinkers when winning 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) in June, dictating. Nudged up 5 lb and not in quite the same form at York (7f) since and he's yet to defy a mark this high. Made all over 7f on good to soft in June; only fourth since but capable of bouncing back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (3.33/1 -11%) Ramiro |
3.33/1(-11%) | (10) Ramiro 3.33/1, 7-y-o who has been back in the groove from reduced mark of late, twice filling the runner-up spot prior to scoring from out of the weights at Ayr (6f) 10 days ago, quickening up well and having bit in hand. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and shortlisted. Out of weights when scoring over 6f last week and effectively 1lb lower under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (14/1 -17%) Yantarni |
14/1(-17%) | (7) Yantarni 14/1, Off the mark for Charlie Appleby in 1m Newmarket handicap last summer but has yet to scale same heights for present connections, well held tackling 10f for the first time at Sandown 19 days ago. Mark is easing all the time but others make much more appeal. Cheekpieces back on. Not shaping like winner in waiting for new yard but mark coming down; win came on soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5.5/1 +15%) Persuasion |
5.5/1(+15%) | (5) Persuasion 5.5/1, Is a long time without a win but comes here in good order, needing no excuses when third of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (7f) 2 weeks ago, no extra only late on. No reason why he won't give another good account. Good in-frame efforts lately but it's 18 starts since his last win in April 2021. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (7/1 +0%) Helm Rock |
7/1(+0%) | (2) Helm Rock 7/1, Registered 3 victories during second half of last year, the latest at Haydock (1m) in September. Has been holding his form well since his return, possibly doing a bit too much too soon when fourth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (1m) 24 days ago. Not out of things from easing mark. Did too much too soon over 1m last month and treated as if still in form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (5.5/1 +0%) Waiting All Night |
5.5/1(+0%) | (8) Waiting All Night 5.5/1, Has drawn a blank since his debut win last May but he did post his best effort this season when running on for second at Newmarket (7f) 13 days ago (Persuasion placed third). Of interest as sole 3-y-o in this line up. Two very good placed efforts over 7f in recent weeks; bold show likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (20/1 -25%) Zero Carbon |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Zero Carbon 20/1, Returned to more prominent tactics/eased in class, turned in best effort of the season when successful at Kempton (7f) last month, staying on to lead close home. Latest run at Epsom has to go down as disappointing however and bounce back called for. Back to best to win on AW in June and perhaps Epsom didn't suit since as he acts on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (28/1 -155%) Adeb |
28/1(-155%) | (3) Adeb 28/1, Missed whole of last year but making up for lost time, gaining third success of 2023 at Newcastle (7f) 26 days ago, leading close home. Only 3 lb higher now if he can replicate that form back on turf. Needs to prove he can translate good Tapeta form to turf but he did win on grass in 2021. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (16/1 +36%) Alpine Sierra |
16/1(+36%) | (9) Alpine Sierra 16/1, Successful on return/yard debut (following wind op) at Ayr (1m) in June. Respectable efforts next 2 starts but not at very best when fifth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f) from the front 12 days ago. This looks tougher again. Front-runs; second at Ayr this month but only fifth at Hamilton since; down in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Ramiro delivered on a couple of promising efforts when he landed a 6f handicap at Ayr 10 days ago and can go well. However, a chance is taken on ADEB, whose recent Newcastle success reads well and he may be progressive enough to cope with a 3lb higher mark back on turf. Helm Rock completes the shortlist, along with Persuasion and Waiting All Night.
RAMIRO has got firmly back on track of late, confirming the promise of a pair of runner-up efforts when striking fast and late to score at Ayr (6f) 10 days ago. The return to this trip will hold no fears and he gets the nod to come out on top again. Waiting All Night, Farhh To Shy and Helm Rock head up the dangers.
Ramiro has an obvious chance but last week's 6f Ayr race fell just right and he's opposed with WAITING ALL NIGHT.

1st (10) (8.5/1 -21%) Stone Circle |
8.5/1(-21%) | (10) Stone Circle 8.5/1, Successful at Yarmouth in April and comes here in good order, third of 8 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can make his presence felt again. C&D win on soft in April; good placed efforts last twice; ought to figure. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (8/1 +43%) Desperate Hero |
8/1(+43%) | (9) Desperate Hero 8/1, Resumed winning ways at Windsor in June and has backed it up with solid fourth placings at Goodwood and Haydock since. One for the shortlist. Won at Windsor (5f) in June; fair fourth latest; unproven on softer than good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 -50%) Thunder Moor |
12/1(-50%) | (4) Thunder Moor 12/1, Fairly useful 5f juvenile winner for Kevin Ryan. Gelded/off 9 months before fading fourteenth of 26 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Can build on it now. Highly tried at 2 after novice win; well held in Royal Ascot h'cap on return for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (12/1 +25%) Minnesota Lad |
12/1(+25%) | (11) Minnesota Lad 12/1, Best effort of the season when fifth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, firm) 19 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up off an easing mark. Showed he's trained on when fifth at Haydock latest; possible he could build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (8.5/1 +15%) Nomadic Empire |
8.5/1(+15%) | (2) Nomadic Empire 8.5/1, Back to form recently, staying-on fifth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm) 20 days ago. Usual cheekpieces replace visor and in the mix. No British win since 2021 and never really going the pace back at 5f last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (18/1 -13%) Faustus |
18/1(-13%) | (8) Faustus 18/1, Failed to build on Windsor second when coming in last of 7 there later in May. Visor is reached for now with a bit to prove. 2nd on soft in May and ground too lively when well held next time; visor on after break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (5/1 -11%) Count D'orsay |
5/1(-11%) | (7) Count D'orsay 5/1, Right back on song of late and bids for a hat-trick after successes at Hamitlon and Chester (5.5f, soft) 13 days ago. Expected to be bang there despite a 4 lb rise. Bidding for a hat-trick and continues to look well treated on old form; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (7.5/1 -50%) Good Earth |
7.5/1(-50%) | (1) Good Earth 7.5/1, Arrives on the up and bagged his second win of 2023 in 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so not taken lightly despite a 5 lb rise. Better than ever when winning over 5f at Newmarket July meeting; raised 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (10/1 +38%) Mokaatil |
10/1(+38%) | (5) Mokaatil 10/1, Is proving inconsistent this year, only fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Visor back on with more required. Bit better when third last month but only fifth at Newmarket last Saturday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (18/1 -13%) Angle Land |
18/1(-13%) | (6) Angle Land 18/1, Has won 3 times this year, latest at Goodwood in May. Last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 18 days ago so needs to get back on track. Four wins since Christmas but not at best in last couple of starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (3.5/1 +13%) Sir Titus |
3.5/1(+13%) | (3) Sir Titus 3.5/1, Resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, firm) 33 days ago, always holding on. Up 3 lb but that form has been franked so needs considering. Good start for Michael Dods, winning at Ayr last time; that form boosted; bold show likely. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Good Earth is in flying form but another 5lb after his Newmarket success puts him on a career-high mark. With that in mind, COUNT D'ORSAY looks the way to go, given that he has won each of his last two outings with something in hand and, off just 4lb higher than at Chester last time, he looks a live contender. Sir Titus and Mokaatil are others with place claims.
COUNT D'ORSAY comes here on a roll so is fancied to defy a 4 lb rise and complete a quick hat-trick at the chief expense of recent Newmarket scorer Good Earth who rates a big danger. In-form pair Sir Titus and Stone Circle are both weighted to have a say too in a competitive sprint.
Having gone nearly three years without a win it's possible the revitalised COUNT D'ORSAY will now gain a third inside a month.

1st (12) (2.25/1 +44%) Alnilam |
2.25/1(+44%) | (12) Alnilam 2.25/1, Lightly raced for Charlie Appleby and has started positively for current yard, improving to score with a bit in hand at Sandown last time. Open to further improvement and boasts leading claims. Won 1m6f Sandown handicap on good to firm last time; very much the unexposed one. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (14/1 +30%) Haliphon |
14/1(+30%) | (8) Haliphon 14/1, Edging down the weights and hasn't been seen to best effect the last twice, poorly positioned at Ayr on latest. Could get involved if he's able to bounce back. Can't be dismissed having dropped to a good mark but others are more obvious. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 +17%) Rhythmic Intent |
10/1(+17%) | (3) Rhythmic Intent 10/1, Useful handicapper who doesn't look the force of old and others make more appeal for all that he performed respectably at Ascot 12 days ago. On lowest mark for a while but recent efforts far from compelling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/1 -125%) The Thunderer |
9/1(-125%) | (7) The Thunderer 9/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (7/2) at Chester (12.3f, good) 40 days ago, suited by way race developed. First run for yard after leaving Ollie Sangster. Makes plenty of appeal. Better than ever for Ollie Sangster lately; player if continuing good work for new yard. |

5th (9) (16/1 -88%) Furzig |
16/1(-88%) | (9) Furzig 16/1, Capitalised on drop in weights when landing back-to-back Catterick handicaps (12f) last autumn. Back to form on return at York and looks a player. Won two on turf in October; still rated lower than on AW; encouraging reappearace at York. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (11/1 -22%) Kendancer |
11/1(-22%) | (11) Kendancer 11/1, Fair dual-purpose performer who turned in best effort of the season when ninth at the Curragh last time. Worthy of respect with cheekpieces back on. Hard to get too excited by recent runs but anything from this yard needs a betting check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (9/1 -13%) Onesmoothoperator |
9/1(-13%) | (2) Onesmoothoperator 9/1, Hasn't won since 2021 but bit more encouragement recently, not seen to best effect when ninth of 13 at Haydock last time. Becoming well treated and can't be ignored. No win since December 2021; well held in Old Newton Cup latest and others more obvious. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (10/1 -25%) Cardano |
10/1(-25%) | (10) Cardano 10/1, Useful handicapper for Ian Williams who stripped fitter for his return when runner-up at Windsor last time. Well handicapped and solid claims if he gets the longer trip. Not seen too often in recent years but latest second shows he retains ability for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (4.5/1 +55%) Matchless |
4.5/1(+55%) | (4) Matchless 4.5/1, Won at Doncaster in May. Third at Pontefract on next Flat start but held in a stronger race at Newcastle since 1m4f winner in May; third next time and worth forgiving latest in Northumberland Plate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (16/1 +0%) Sir Chauvelin |
16/1(+0%) | (5) Sir Chauvelin 16/1, Ran well at Newcastle on penultimate run and effort best excused at Hamilton 12 days ago. On a fair mark and can't be completely discounted. Veteran who still retains plenty of ability and won off 2lb higher last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (16/1 +0%) Alright Sunshine |
16/1(+0%) | (1) Alright Sunshine 16/1, Useful handicapper who wasn't disgraced when eight of 13 at Haydock on his final outing for Keith Dalgleish. Others look better treated, though. Well held in two strong handicaps this summer but this is easier on first run for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Slight preference is for ALNILAM, who has been a shrewd recruit to the in-form Milton Harris stable, and he must hold every chance of following up on a comfortable success at Sandown last month. Recently placed at York over shorter, Furzig looks the type to relish going up in trip, while The Thunderer arrives in excellent form as he makes his first start for new connections. Onesmoothoperator and Rhythmic Intent cannot be ruled out either.
ALNILAM benefited from the step up to this trip when scoring at Sandown last time and he's open to further progress, so he gets the nod over The Thunderer who was successful on the same day at Chester on his final outing for Ollie Sangster. Cardano is one of several others who make appeal.
There could be more to come from lightly raced Sandown winner ALNILAM so he's the suggestion.

1st (3) (5.5/1 +8%) Cumulonimbus |
5.5/1(+8%) | (3) Cumulonimbus 5.5/1, C&D winner last term and has won 2 of his 4 starts this season, latest at Haydock (11.8f) last month. Ran just as well when third of 13 over same C&D latest and ought to give another good account here, Progressive, winning four since last autumn; good third in Old Newton Cup latest; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 +17%) Eagle's Way |
5/1(+17%) | (2) Eagle's Way 5/1, Progressed well last term, winning all of his 4 starts, culminating with decisive success in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good) in September. Not seen since, but is in good hands and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet. 4-4 in handicaps over this trip last year and it's likely there's more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (8/1 +20%) Regal Empire |
8/1(+20%) | (9) Regal Empire 8/1, Dual winner (at up to 11.1f) at Southwell last winter and acquitted himself well on turf more recently, latest when third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) 27 days ago. Not out of things, Useful 3yo but beaten 4l by Like A Tiger when they clashed at Newmarket in the spring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/1 +0%) Andaleep |
11/1(+0%) | (4) Andaleep 11/1, Winner of 5 handicaps last season and took form up a further notch when a decisive winner at York (10.2f, good) earlier this month. 8 lb higher now but not taken lightly. Sixth win since joining this yard last summer when storming clear at York latest; up 8lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (2.25/1 +36%) Like A Tiger |
2.25/1(+36%) | (8) Like A Tiger 2.25/1, Looked on the up when resuming with Newmarket handicap win over this trip in April. Beat only one in Listed race there next time but remains low mileage and better expected back in grade here. Not up to Listed company latest but striking winner of handicap prior to that; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (14/1 +13%) Certain Lad |
14/1(+13%) | (1) Certain Lad 14/1, Just about a career best when landing the Group 3 Strensall Stakes at York in 2020. Missed all of the following year and pretty lightly raced since, failing to add to his tally. Looks up against it off top weight. Smart at peak; well held last twice but was placed off 4lb higher at Chester prior to that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (25/1 -108%) Baryshnikov |
25/1(-108%) | (7) Baryshnikov 25/1, Not scored since spring of last year and has been given a chance by the handicapper (2 lb below last winning mark) but no real encouragement taken from recent efforts. Useful and consistent but often starts slowly and needs things to drop right. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (10/1 -25%) Old Port |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Old Port 10/1, Six wins from 18 Flat runs. Stepped up on yard debut effort when creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 25 days ago, badly hampered. Warrants respect. Not at best in two runs for Charles Byrnes but a market move could still prove significant. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (50/1 -79%) Dark Pine |
50/1(-79%) | (6) Dark Pine 50/1, Turned in his best effort of the season at Chester in May but hasn't really built on that and makes limited appeal. Went close at Chester in May but below best twice since; bounce back needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (11/1 +8%) Aqwaam |
11/1(+8%) | (12) Aqwaam 11/1, Won a heavy-ground handicap at Galway last summer and back to that sort of form when second of 10 to Bringbackmemories at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm, 3/1) 33 days ago. However, 3 lb out of the weights in a much deeper contest now. Consistent in defeat this year but 3lb out of weights; will likely find a few too strong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (7.5/1 +6%) Elzaam Blue |
7.5/1(+6%) | (11) Elzaam Blue 7.5/1, Matched pick of his Irish form, on debut for Jamie Osborne, when winning 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (8f, firm) 20 days ago, keeping on well. This is tougher but he must enter calculations. 1 lb out of the weights. Won a 1m Doncaster Class 5 on yard debut but more needed to follow up in a higher grade. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
CUMULONIMBUS went well for a long way in the Old Newton Cup before being worn down and dropping to third late on, but it could be that dropping back in trip may see him at his very best on this occasion. The four-year-old is narrowly preferred to comfortable York winner Andaleep and Eagle's Way, who arrives on a five-timer. Like A Tiger is another to consider based on the form of an impressive success at Newmarket on his penultimate outing.
LIKE A TIGER disappointed when upped to listed grade last time but remains with potential and gets the nod in a highly competitive finale. Eagle's Way is much respected, despite his 10-month absence, whilst York-winner Andaleep is also a big player.
A good finale. LIKE A TIGER (nap) should get his ground and this Group-entered colt can show he's a 3yo still very much on the up.
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.
