1st (3) (3.33/1 +17%) Sagauteur |
3.33/1(+17%) | (3) Sagauteur 3.33/1, Usually reliable and edged ahead to score by a nose at Newcastle 17 days ago. Should give another good account following a small rise. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (2.75/1 -22%) Hotspur Harry |
2.75/1(-22%) | (8) Hotspur Harry 2.75/1, Looked right back to his best when scything through the field to score at Nottingham 9 days ago and, while he's back up in grade, he's still potentially well treated on old form, so could follow up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (28/1 -40%) Brancaster |
28/1(-40%) | (7) Brancaster 28/1, Built on an encouraging start for this yard when landing 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) on final start in 2020. Not seen since but still warrants respect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/1 +56%) Baltic Baron |
11/1(+56%) | (6) Baltic Baron 11/1, On a lengthy losing run and blew his chance at the start when down the field at Haydock last time. Needs cheekpieces to perk him up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/1 -56%) Balgair |
7/1(-56%) | (1) Balgair 7/1, Scored at Chelmsford last October and wasn't disgraced (pulled too hard) on reappearance at same course in April. Should come on for that, and he's partnered by one of the more experienced riders. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (8/1 +20%) Fire Eyes |
8/1(+20%) | (5) Fire Eyes 8/1, Mark possibly still on the high side and she went backwards from her reappearance when eleventh over 7f here in May. Others are more persuasive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (4/1 +20%) Bollin Margaret |
4/1(+20%) | (2) Bollin Margaret 4/1, Successful off 1 lb higher last year and arrives on the back of a solid effort at Beverley, so definite player at a track where stable enjoys plenty of success. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (12/1 -33%) Gordonstoun |
12/1(-33%) | (4) Gordonstoun 12/1, 22/1, first run since leaving Paul & Oliver Cole when fifth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 8 days ago, merely closing up late. Quirky sort but well treated if he can build on that. |

1st (3) (1/1 +50%) Explicit |
1/1(+50%) | (3) Explicit 1/1, Off the mark in 5f Musselburgh seller last week, making all against the rail. 6f should suit on breeding and he could be hard to peg back if he stays. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (14/1 +0%) Greenroad |
14/1(+0%) | (12) Greenroad 14/1, Just modest form in 3 runs, including in thin 4-runner Hamilton maiden on Wednesday. First go over 6f. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (14/1 +0%) Vondelpark |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Vondelpark 14/1, Yard having a fine campaign with 2-y-os but this one only showed a bit behind Stolen Glory in 5f Beverley claimer on debut. Blinkers go on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (14/1 -40%) Evolicatt |
14/1(-40%) | (10) Evolicatt 14/1, Good runs over 5f at Leicester and Salisbury but no impression in 6f Haydock maiden 3 weeks ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (66/1 -32%) Leading Company |
66/1(-32%) | (4) Leading Company 66/1, Not beaten another rival in 2 runs and blinkers go on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 -50%) West By East |
33/1(-50%) | (7) West By East 33/1, Shaped better second time up at Ripon (6f) and wouldn't rule out for last year's winning yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (66/1 -100%) A Day To Dream |
66/1(-100%) | (1) A Day To Dream 66/1, Little impact in a couple of 6f events and has work to do. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (15) (10/1 +17%) Love Fifteen |
10/1(+17%) | (15) Love Fifteen 10/1, Foaled February 16. Havana Grey filly from the family of smart sprinter Projection. Interesting to see any market move for her on debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (16) (10/1 -18%) Stolen Glory |
10/1(-18%) | (16) Stolen Glory 10/1, Won a weak 5f Beverley claimer on debut and struggled under a penalty behind Explicit at Musselburgh last week. Better chance on these terms if improving for the step up to 6f. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (150/1 -50%) Lessons In Love |
150/1(-50%) | (13) Lessons In Love 150/1, Big price and well beaten in 5f Carlisle fillies' maiden on debut a fortnight ago, carrying head bit awkwardly and always behind. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (28/1 -27%) Development |
28/1(-27%) | (9) Development 28/1, Foaled March 22. Monsieur Bond filly. Dam, 8.6f winner, half-sister to useful 7f/7.4f winner Snow Watch. Wears visor. Interesting newcomer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (5/1 +0%) Teatime Tipple |
5/1(+0%) | (5) Teatime Tipple 5/1, Did better with debut under his belt when second in the mud at Ripon (5f). Steps up to 6f now. Withdrawn after getting down in stall latest intended run May 10. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (18/1 +36%) Beautiful Mum |
18/1(+36%) | (8) Beautiful Mum 18/1, Hinted at ability in 5f Beverley fillies' novice on debut 7 weeks ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (14) (40/1 -82%) Lily In The Jungle |
40/1(-82%) | (14) Lily In The Jungle 40/1, Won 5f Redcar seller for David Evans in April but held in Ripon novice for new yard subsequently and needs more upped to 6f now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (11) (150/1 -50%) Go Bunny |
150/1(-50%) | (11) Go Bunny 150/1, Green and well beaten in 5f Beverley novice on debut 39 days ago. |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (10/1 -54%) Gale Force Maya |
10/1(-54%) | (1) Gale Force Maya 10/1, Late developer who took her form up another notch when showing a good attitude to shade a close finish in 6f Newmarket handicap on return in April. Not so good in listed races since, although poorly placed and lost a shoe latest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (12/1 -9%) Crazy Luck |
12/1(-9%) | (8) Crazy Luck 12/1, Won twice in 6f handicaps last year. Back to form when second at Windsor last month but this is tougher. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (7/1 +0%) Al Simmo |
7/1(+0%) | (7) Al Simmo 7/1, Took another step forward as she easily won a 6f fillies' handicap at Ripon last month. This tougher up 6 lb/back up in class but dangerous to dismiss. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/1 +17%) Ey Up It's Maggie |
5/1(+17%) | (5) Ey Up It's Maggie 5/1, Added another good York effort to her tally when third over 5f 3 weeks ago, the only one of those in the front rank to hang around at the finish. 6f fine and can go well again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Arousing |
5.5/1(+8%) | (2) Arousing 5.5/1, Useful filly who was back to winning ways in 6f Kempton handicap in March. Not so good twice since but blinkers go on for return to handicaps/turf and she could resume progress after a break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (16/1 +20%) Zim Baby |
16/1(+20%) | (4) Zim Baby 16/1, As good as ever when scoring at Windsor (6f) in April. Too lit up over 7f here last time and return to sprinting will suit, although this looks tough. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Candescence |
4.5/1(+10%) | (6) Candescence 4.5/1, First success since her debut in 5f Hamilton handicap last month, keeping on well. That is good form and she's relished the switch to sprinting this year. Got to be of firm interest up 6 lb. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (3.5/1 -5%) Makarova |
3.5/1(-5%) | (10) Makarova 3.5/1, Two from 2 since switched to 6f handicaps on turf, scoring in fine style at Salisbury again 4 weeks ago. That form is good and she should have more to offer. Leading claims now taking on her elders (3-y-os have a good record in this). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 -21%) International Girl |
40/1(-21%) | (9) International Girl 40/1, Won 6f Hamilton fillies' handicap in September and ran well at Newcastle in October. Should have come on for her return over 7f here 3 weeks ago and likely to be closer to form now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (16/1 -14%) Mountain Brave |
16/1(-14%) | (3) Mountain Brave 16/1, Dual winner again for Mark Johnston last year (latest off 2 lb higher). Should be better for Bath run 8 weeks ago for new yard and cheekpieces go on now returned to handicaps. |

1st (6) (5/1 -25%) Valiant Prince |
5/1(-25%) | (6) Valiant Prince 5/1, Smart gelding. Winner at Meydan in February and not disgraced despite coming in last of 4 to New Mandate in listed race at Ascot (8f) 44 days ago. Not ruled out. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (12/1 -20%) Art Du Val |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Art Du Val 12/1, Smart gelding. Creditable seventh of 11 to Lord Glitters in Singspiel Stakes at Meydan (9f) in February, so he can't be ruled out after his break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (16/1 -45%) Bell Rock |
16/1(-45%) | (2) Bell Rock 16/1, Smart gelding. Below-par third of 4 to Modern News in listed race at Windsor (8.1f) 32 days ago. Needs to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (33/1 +0%) Marie's Diamond |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Marie's Diamond 33/1, Useful horse. Well held in the Lincoln back in Britain 76 days ago and it's now eleven runs since last win in 2021. Hard to fancy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (2.75/1 +17%) Brunch |
2.75/1(+17%) | (3) Brunch 2.75/1, C&D winner who comes here on back of excellent second of 13 in handicap at this C&D 29 days ago, conceding first run. Sure to go well once more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (1/1 +20%) Mohaafeth |
1/1(+20%) | (5) Mohaafeth 1/1, Completed a 4-timer at the start of last season, culminating with Royal Ascot Group 3 success. Shaped encouragingly after 7 months when tenth in Dubai Turf at Meydan (9f) 76 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Expected to be bang there. |

1st (1) (5.5/1 +8%) Northern Express |
5.5/1(+8%) | (1) Northern Express 5.5/1, C&D winner. 10/3, creditable sixth of 13 in C&D handicap (good to soft) 20 days ago, running on. Capable of having a big say if things drop right. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4.5/1 +25%) Orbaan |
4.5/1(+25%) | (4) Orbaan 4.5/1, On a long losing run but looked unlucky over 1m here last month and shaped well again when third of 15 over 7f at Epsom on Friday. Threatening to come good soon but the draw could have been kinder here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (17) (40/1 -60%) Tommy Taylor |
40/1(-60%) | (17) Tommy Taylor 40/1, C&D winner but down the field here on latest start 3 weeks ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (16/1 +0%) Woven |
16/1(+0%) | (3) Woven 16/1, Just 1-27 but the win did come over C&D. Good second first 2 outings this term but needs shrug off a poor run here in cheekpeices (off now) last time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (18) (16/1 +11%) Ebury |
16/1(+11%) | (18) Ebury 16/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2019. 14/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) on reappearance 7 days ago. Well treated if he can build on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (5.5/1 +15%) Wizard D'amour |
5.5/1(+15%) | (5) Wizard D'amour 5.5/1, Latest win at Catterick in April. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 3/1) 27 days ago. Can give another good account of himself. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (3.5/1 +22%) Tammani |
3.5/1(+22%) | (9) Tammani 3.5/1, Smart in his prime and caught the eye when fourth of 18 over C&D under James Doyle last time, unlucky not to finish closer after meeting plenty of trouble. That suggests he can win off his mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (16) (28/1 -40%) Barney's Bay |
28/1(-40%) | (16) Barney's Bay 28/1, Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (7f, good to firm, 7/2) 14 days ago. More needed in this stronger race. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (33/1 -83%) Royal Musketeer |
33/1(-83%) | (12) Royal Musketeer 33/1, Good start for new yard, posting a career best to win 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 28 days ago, driven out. 6 lb rise fair enough but a high draw could make life tricky. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (9/1 +18%) Russco |
9/1(+18%) | (6) Russco 9/1, Thrived as a 3-y-o. winning 5 times. Creditable reappearance third of 12 at Haydock (7f) 20 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (16/1 +20%) Poet's Magic |
16/1(+20%) | (11) Poet's Magic 16/1, Three wins in productive 2021. Shaped as if needing run when seventh of 11 on C&D return 19 days ago and should be back close to form this time. Respected from a handy draw. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (16/1 -33%) Ugo Gregory |
16/1(-33%) | (15) Ugo Gregory 16/1, C&D winner. Best run this season when third of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. On a winning mark and respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (66/1 -100%) Cisco Disco |
66/1(-100%) | (14) Cisco Disco 66/1, First run since leaving Jack Davison when last of 12 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 20/1) 18 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot in a short time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (33/1 +0%) Fiftyshadesofred |
33/1(+0%) | (13) Fiftyshadesofred 33/1, Winner at Newcastle (7f, AW) on yard debut/reappearance in March. Missed the break and met trouble when down the field at Hamilton since so he's best not judged too harshly on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (8) (80/1 -100%) Queen's Sargent |
80/1(-100%) | (8) Queen's Sargent 80/1, Well held both starts this year and watching brief advised until showing more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (7) (10/1 +17%) Seven Brothers |
10/1(+17%) | (7) Seven Brothers 10/1, Course winner. Won on 7f Doncaster reappearance in March but only a respectable third of 5 back there since. Others preferred. |

1st (1) (5/1 -11%) Mersea |
5/1(-11%) | (1) Mersea 5/1, Off the mark in 5f Carlisle maiden a fortnight ago, making all gamely. More needed under a penalty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (1.25/1 -37%) Your Spirit |
1.25/1(-37%) | (6) Your Spirit 1.25/1, Caught the eye at the Breeze-Ups (£85,000 purchase) and made a bright start when third in the Hilary Needler at Beverley last month, shaping well in a field of experienced rivals as she kept on. Sure to progress and could be hard to beat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (2.5/1 +38%) Nashur |
2.5/1(+38%) | (4) Nashur 2.5/1, Bred to be useful and shaped well when second on debut in 6f Redcar maiden 11 days ago, sent off joint favourite with the winner and not knocked about once she'd flown in the final furlong. More to come and leading claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (6.5/1 +13%) Poppy Carrew |
6.5/1(+13%) | (5) Poppy Carrew 6.5/1, Foaled March 21. £62,000 yearling, Profitable filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Written Broadcast. Plenty of appeal on paper for yard with a strong hand with 2-y-os. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (16/1 +0%) Misty Blues |
16/1(+0%) | (3) Misty Blues 16/1, Bred to be useful and shaped encouragingly on debut at Redcar (6f) 11 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1st (3) (2/1 +33%) Haliphon |
2/1(+33%) | (3) Haliphon 2/1, Dual French winner who produced much his best effort on these shores when beaten a whisker at Epsom (1½m, good) on Derby day. Leading claims off the same mark (due to go up 5 lb) here, with this step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4.5/1 +50%) Fair Star |
4.5/1(+50%) | (4) Fair Star 4.5/1, Has done the majority of his Flat racing on the AW (respectable sixth at Newbury on sole turf start in this sphere last term). Solid third off this mark upped to 15.8f at Lingfield last time and each-way claims over what may prove to be his optimum trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (4.5/1 +47%) Wor Willie |
4.5/1(+47%) | (8) Wor Willie 4.5/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who was by no means all out to make a winning reappearance at Thirsk (1¾m, good to firm) in April. Stamina stretched upped to 16.2f here next time and looks vulnerable, for all that this drop back in trip will help. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3.33/1 -21%) Charging Thunder |
3.33/1(-21%) | (1) Charging Thunder 3.33/1, Consistent type who upped his game when landing a Pontefract handicap (1½m, good) in first-time cheekpieces on Monday. This looks more demanding under a penalty, but he's a must for the shortlist nonetheless. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (20/1 +0%) Oasis Prince |
20/1(+0%) | (9) Oasis Prince 20/1, Losing run stretches back to June 2019, but he has acquitted himself in handicaps at Thirsk (third to Wor Willie) and when upped to 2m at Ripon last week. Remains on an attractive mark and should have a part to play. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (11/1 -38%) Year Of The Dragon |
11/1(-38%) | (2) Year Of The Dragon 11/1, Placed on four of his five starts since being gelded, just touched off at Kempton (1½m) last time. Nudged up 2 lb for that and needs to find something extra if he's to open his turf account at the sixth attempt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (18/1 +0%) Eclipse De Lunar |
18/1(+0%) | (10) Eclipse De Lunar 18/1, Fair performer who hit the target twice last season. Returned to form when third in a big-field handicap over 11.8f here on penultimate start, but followed that with a below-par display at Haydock. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|DQ| (6) (33/1 -106%) Monsieur Lambrays |
33/1(-106%) | (6) Monsieur Lambrays 33/1, Hasn't got his head in front for a while and now finds himself with a fair bit to prove following a couple of low-key efforts for new connections in April. |

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.
