1st (1)  (3.5/1 +36%)Blue For You |
3.5/1(+36%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blue For You 3.5/1, Proved a model of consistency prior to deservedly opening his account for this yard over C&D in August, staying on to lead line. Good fifth on return at the Dante Meeting in May and probably best not judged too harshly on his run in last month's Royal Hunt Cup. Possibilities. Soundly beaten at Royal Ascot but has a good record at York and he's capable of going well. |
|||
2nd (9)  (14/1 -17%)What's The Story |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) What's The Story 14/1, Regular in good handicaps here over the years and benefited from drop in grade when landing 6-runner Carlisle handicap in May. Too free when last of 10 at Newcastle (1m) 16 days ago and he starts out for new yard now. Below par on AW last time but good third here previously; each-way claims if bouncing back. |
|||
3rd (2)  (5/1 +23%)Eilean Dubh |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Eilean Dubh 5/1, Enjoyed a fine 2022, two of his 4 victories coming over this C&D. Mixed bag initially this spring but confirmed more positive signs from Sandown when successful in first-time tongue tie at Hamilton (8.3f) 11 days ago, well positioned. Expected to be thereabouts. Two C&D wins last season and back on the scoresheet at Hamilton last Tuesday; contender. |
|||
4th (3)  (8/1 -33%)Wild Lion |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wild Lion 8/1, Lightly-raced 5-y-o who confirmed himself equally as effective on turf as AW when posting career-best effort to score over 7f here 4 weeks ago, joined 1f out and finding extra. Rider's claim off-sets his subsequent weight rise and he has to be of interest again. Won in these cheekpieces over 7f here latest; could have more to offer now back up to 1m. |
|||
5th (4)  (11/1 -22%)La Trinidad |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) La Trinidad 11/1, C&D winner. Strong in betting and duly stepped up markedly on his comeback run when forging clear to take 11-runner Doncaster handicap (1m, good to firm) 6 weeks ago. Revised mark shouldn't prevent another good showing granted a good gallop to aim at. Two-time course winner who scored easily at Doncaster latest; a possible despite 9lb rise. |
|||
6th (6)  (20/1 -43%)Scottish Summit |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Scottish Summit 20/1, Likeable veteran who resumed winning ways with bit to spare at Thirsk (7f) in May and turned in another creditable effort when third over 7f here 4 weeks ago, no extra final 100 yds. Little more needed in this more demanding affair, however. 10yo who has been running well this season and is not ruled out each-way. |
|||
7th (5)  (7.5/1 +25%)Isla Kai |
7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Isla Kai 7.5/1, Capitalised on drop in weights/class to end losing run at Ripon (1m, heavy) in April. Hasn't managed to replicate that in trio of starts on turf/AW since though, and others look stronger. Won at Ripon in April but has an inconsistent profile and others are more solid. |
|||
8th (8)  (3.2/1 +36%)Aramaic |
3.2/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Aramaic 3.2/1, Progressive, dual winner at 3 yrs. Missed whole of last year but confirmed he retains all of his ability in trio of starts so far this term, having every chance from the front when third at Sandown (10f) last week. Nudged up 1 lb on the back of that but not discounted here. Down in trip. Travelled well in front over 1m2f at Sandown recently; drop back to 1m is worth exploring. |
|||
9th (7)  (11/1 +8%)Rhoscolyn |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rhoscolyn 11/1, Smart handicapper at best but not found his form this year, weakening when hampered and ultimately well held in Buckingham Palace Stakes at the Royal Meeting latest. Mark does continue to slide at least. His mark continues to fall but he's struggled to get competitive this season. |
|||
10th (12)  (33/1 -65%)Manigordo |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Manigordo 33/1, Largely reliable sort who got on top late in the day over extended 7f at Beverley in June. Matched that when third from 3 lb higher mark at Musselburgh (7f) 10 days ago but this rates a much tougher ask. Generally plies trade in lower grade and over shorter trips but not ruled out each-way. |
|||
11th (10)  (80/1 -100%)Barley |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Barley 80/1, Dual winner at 1m for Martyn Meade during first half of last term. 37,000 gns purchase for present stable thereafter but fairly low-key efforts so far this summer. Well treated on last year's best but well-beaten sixth on both starts for this yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Eilean Dubh meets Blue For You on identical terms as when defeating him in this 12 months ago but, though both merit the utmost respect, a chance is taken on ISLA KAI. Nigel Tinkler's gelding finished fourth behind that pair last year, having been sent off as favourite, but he is now far better off at the weights and that could see him reverse the form. Wild Lion and Aramaic are just two others to consider.
BLUE FOR YOU wasn't at his best in last month's Royal Hunt Cup yet, the return to this more speed-favouring track rates a plus and, having shaped well on return in a C&D handicap at the Dante Meeting, he could well be worth chancing to get back to winning ways from an easing mark. Dual C&D winner Eilean Dubh comes here on the back of success at Hamilton and is feared, with La Trinidad and Wild Lion others to consider.
Having been a game winner over 7f here in first-time cheekpieces last month, WILD LION can follow up now back up in trip.

1st (9)  (7/1 +36%)Nymphadora |
7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Nymphadora 7/1, Useful filly. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (3/1) at Chester (5.1f, heavy) but not in same form in listed event at Ayr 3 weeks ago. Bit to find on form with a couple of these and below par at Ayr three weeks ago. |
|||
2nd (4)  (3/1 +14%)Silky Wilkie |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Silky Wilkie 3/1, In good form on the AW during the winter and looked better than ever when storming clear in the Scottish Sprint Cup at Musselburgh in April. Back to that level when just failing in "Dash" at Epsom 6 weeks ago and high on shortlist here. Upwardly mobile 4yo; excellent second in the Epsom Dash last time; commands major respect. |
|||
3rd (6)  (5.5/1 +35%)Great State |
5.5/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Great State 5.5/1, Upped his game considerably when making a winning handicap debut at Southwell (5f) in March and hasn't looked back, defying 8 lb rise at Thirsk before completing hat-trick in listed event over C&D. However, not in same form at Sandown since and vulnerable under a penalty. Had an excuse last time; previously an impressive C&D winner; solid contender. |
|||
4th (3)  (33/1 -50%)Mondammej |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mondammej 33/1, Useful gelding but on a losing run and hard to see him ending it in this. Runner-up 12 months ago but on a long losing sequence and others appeal more for the win. |
|||
5th (2)  (5/1 +41%)Chipstead |
5/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chipstead 5/1, Proved better than ever back in handicap company when scoring over C&D in May. Well held in Wokingham at Royal Ascot since but player if that run is forgiven. Steady improver, respected on C&D handicap win but needs to put a poor last run behind him. |
|||
6th (8)  (2.5/1 +71%)Kerdos |
2.5/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kerdos 2.5/1, Landed a Haydock maiden and Windsor novice event last autumn and made pleasing return when close second in handicap at Lingfield. Resumed progress when close second of 26 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs considering. Excellent neck second of 26 in handicap at Royal Ascot last time; could be the answer. |
|||
7th (10)  (14/1 +50%)Rum Cocktail |
14/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Rum Cocktail 14/1, Shaped well first 2 starts for this yard before producing a career best by quite some way when wide-margin winner of 5-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 15 days ago, quickening clear. This represents a big step up in class, however. Ran away with handicap at Yarmouth last time but this represents a steep step up in grade. |
|||
8th (7)  (20/1 +0%)Changeofmind |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Changeofmind 20/1, Broke 2-y-o course record at Chester on sole start as a juvenile and returned from 10-month absence with comfortable success at Catterick (5f, good to soft). However, 9 lengths ninth of 10 to Great State in listed race (7/2) at this C&D (firm) 58 days ago. Won first two races but came up well short in C&D Listed race in May; again plenty to find. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
REGIONAL, a winner over course and distance in May, took another step forward when landing the Achilles Stakes at Haydock last month and a repeat of that level of form will make him hard to beat here. The versatile Silky Wilkie is another key player given that he has shown some sparkling form this season. Great State appeals most from the three-year-olds and, along with the class-dropping filly Queen Me, commands respect getting weight from the older horses.
Plenty to consider with SILKY WILKIE shading the vote having been unlucky not to defy top weight in the "Dash" at Epsom. The thriving Regional has obvious claims under a penalty, while there are some interesting 3-y-os taking their chance, notably Queen Me, who was beaten less than 3 lengths in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.
Silky Wilkie is a strong second choice but there could be some value in siding with the unexposed 3yo KERDOS.

1st (3)  (18/1 +45%)Pride Of America |
18/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pride Of America 18/1, Confirmed himself to be a smart front-running handicapper when making all on the back on another breathing operation at Chester in May. Yet again, he failed to fire in France last month and no easy task dominating this field. Excellent record in h'caps since start of last year, his turf wins coming on slow ground. |
|||
2nd (8)  (50/1 -213%)Astro King |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Astro King 50/1, Found to be lame when a warm order for this in 2021. Ended time for Sir Michael Stoute in disappointing fashion but may well have won for new connections (gelded) in a 1m handicap here had the gaps opened in May. Disappointing in the Royal Hunt Cup and now back up in trip. Eyecatching 1m run here on stable debut but well beaten in Royal Hunt Cup; stamina a doubt. |
|||
3rd (13)  (10/1 +38%)Haunted Dream |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Haunted Dream 10/1, Reliable sort who enhanced good strike rate on the AW when scoring at Chelmsford in April. Cracking second at Sandown last week and he's thriving. Same mark. Progressive 4yo who went close at Sandown last Saturday; should have race run to suit. |
|||
4th (14)  (12/1 -9%)Nobel |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Nobel 12/1, Hasn't stood much racing but allowed to dictate things and made it win number 3 from 5 starts at Newcastle (10.2f) a fortnight ago. 5 lb penalty to carry and limit may not have been reached but this is clearly a deeper race. It was an easy lead at Newcastle recently but this lightly raced 4yo did it in fine style. |
|||
5th (18)  (8/1 -7%)Long Tradition |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Long Tradition 8/1, Missed all of 2022 but expertly prepared to double tally (both at Chelmsford) fitted with a good on last month's reappearance. Easy to make a case for him being well treated under a penalty. Returned from long absence with easy AW win and he's well handicapped under a 5lb penalty. |
|||
6th (17)  (16/1 -33%)Scampi |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Scampi 16/1, Won a big-field handicap over 11.9f at the Dante meeting in May and with a hood left off, he cranked it up another notch when second in the Old Newton Cup a week ago. Clearly thriving so one to consider. Smooth 1m4f win here in May; the expected competitive gallop will play to his strengths. |
|||
7th (10)  (7.5/1 +6%)Millebosc |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Millebosc 7.5/1, Placed form at highest level as a 3-y-o when trained in France and he made a very pleasing start for William Haggas when a keeping-on fifth to Makinmedoit at Lingfield in November. Off since but could have been laid out for this and he's more interesting than most. Stall 20 could have been better. Classy French form in 2021; gelded; sole runner for top trainer with good record in race. |
|||
8th (11)  (11/1 -10%)Spirit Dancer |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Spirit Dancer 11/1, Took his form up last season, excellent fourth in this before landing a C&D contest a fortnight later. Enhanced excellent record at the track when third on reappearance and he's a big player providing stall 21 doesn't prove to be an issue. Has plenty of solid C&D form and there's every chance he'll be in the shake-up. |
|||
9th (5)  (9/1 +36%)White Wolf |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) White Wolf 9/1, Gained both wins in novice company on the AW last year. Smart efforts in defeat a few times this season, shaping as though still in top form when seventh in the Duke of Edinburgh 3 weeks ago. Way he went through that race suggests this drop in trip won't be an issue. Lost places close home over 1m4f at Royal Ascot; could be in the mix now back down in trip. |
|||
10th (20)  (150/1 -127%)Postmark |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (20) Postmark 150/1, Dual Flat winner last summer and opened account over hurdles at Newbury (16.3f) in February. Not improved on that subsequently in that sphere and recent efforts on the level hardly brimming with promise. No impact when mid-division back on the Flat the last twice and he's hard to fancy. |
|||
11th (2)  (33/1 -18%)Certain Lad |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Certain Lad 33/1, Just about a career best when landing the Group 3 Strensall Stakes at this venue over 8.8f in 2020. Missed all of the following year and pretty lightly raced since, failing to add to his tally. Like Cadillac, he can have his run in the Wolferton overlooked. Runner-up in this in 2020 and signs of promise two starts ago; not discounted. |
|||
12th (21)  (18/1 +0%)Faylaq |
18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (21) Faylaq 18/1, Losing run stretches back to 2019. Has resumed for his new trainer in good form but he rarely finds as much off the bridle as he promises so percentage call is to look elsewhere back in trip. Good third on AW last time; that was at 2m but he went close over this C&D last October. |
|||
13th (7)  (9/1 -13%)Sonny Liston |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sonny Liston 9/1, Useful 7f winner at his best for Charlie Hills. Ended 2022 out of sorts but excellent start for Ralph Beckett, fitted with blinkers and first home on his side of the track when second in the Royal Hunt Cup last month. Stays this far and a must for the shortlist from the same mark. Fine 2nd in Royal Hunt Cup and able to run off same mark; should be fine back up in trip. |
|||
14th (15)  (5.5/1 +61%)Majestic |
5.5/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Majestic 5.5/1, Won the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on final 4-y-o start and has made a solid start to the new campaign, shaping up quite well when hitting the frame again from an unpromising position at Sandown last week. Likely to give it another good go. Won last year's Cambridgeshire; running well in defeat and has each-way claims. |
|||
15th (22)  (80/1 -60%)Cockalorum |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (22) Cockalorum 80/1, Given a couple of superb rides when landing brace of Ripon handicaps over 9.8f this season. Brushed aside at Newcastle and dominating this field from just out of the weights a big ask. 2nd in this in 2021; kicked off this season with two wins but unplaced on last three runs. |
|||
16th (12)  (33/1 +0%)Marie's Diamond |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Marie's Diamond 33/1, It's now 26 runs since his last win in 2021 but he still retains plenty of dash as a 7-y-o judged on a runner-up effort over C&D in May. Brushed aside in a Group 3 at Epsom and this looks too competitive. Popped up with a near-miss over C&D in May but losing run goes back 27 races to July 2021. |
|||
17th (4)  (4.5/1 +40%)Sea The Casper |
4.5/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sea The Casper 4.5/1, Didn't race at 2 but hit the ground running last year, winning 3 of first 4 starts at up to 11f. Cranked it up another notch when an easy winner in a good time on AW reappearance 4 weeks ago and this upwardly-mobile 4-y-o is a danger to all under a penalty. Ready comeback win; this is much tougher but this lightly raced 4yo is ahead of h'capper. |
|||
18th (9)  (80/1 -60%)Dawn Of Liberation |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dawn Of Liberation 80/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who won twice in novice company at up to 1m in 2022. Mixed bag in handicaps this year and has never really shaped as though in need of this far. Fair fourth at Chester in May but well beaten in Royal Hunt Cup; others appeal more. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A wide-open renewal of this valuable contest but marginal preference is for SONNY LISTON, who was the first home from his group when second in the Royal Hunt Cup. Off the same mark, the four-year-old could be hard to beat now upped in trip. Nobel is an obvious threat following his facile Newcastle success a couple of weeks ago and he remains open to improvement on just his sixth start. It would be no surprise to see Majestic and Certain Lad go well for Jack Channon, while Long Tradition and Spirit Dancer complete the shortlist.
Any number to consider but SEA THE CASPER turned an AW handicap into a one-sided affair on reappearance a month ago and with that display backed up by a punchy timefigure, he looks ahead of his mark under a penalty. Long Tradition was expertly prepared to make a winning return to the track at Chelmsford and he's a massive threat, with Sonny Liston, Millebosc and Spirit Dancer completing the shortlist.
William Haggas has a good record in this race and this year's running could go to MILLEBOSC (nap). Long Tradition is a danger.

0.44/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hamish 0.44/1, Very smart gelding who landed the Group 3 Ormonde at Chester for the second year running on his reappearance in May. Has to shoulder a 3 lb penalty for that but should still prove hard to beat. Kept to softer than good these days when on turf; very much the one to beat. |
|||
2nd (3)  (10/1 +60%)Scriptwriter |
10/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Scriptwriter 10/1, Useful on the Flat and over hurdles. Made an encouraging return to the level when seventh in Copper Horse at Ascot last month but faces a stiff task stepping outside of handicap company. Ran with credit in R Ascot handicap; others have better form but he's considered for 2nd. |
|||
3rd (4)  (4.5/1 +10%)Tashkhan |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tashkhan 4.5/1, Winless since 2021 but he's posted solid efforts to make the frame in Nottingham listed event and Prix de Barbeville at Longchamp this spring. Could be the one to follow Hamish home. Smart; best results have been on softer than good; this trip is shorter than ideal. |
|||
4th (5)  (16/1 -60%)Teumessias Fox |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Teumessias Fox 16/1, Much improved back from a gelding operation this spring, winning 1½m handicaps at Kempton and Newmarket (smart form). Disappointed when favourite for the Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot but he should be in the mix for minor honours if back near his best. Disappointing on good to firm at Royal Ascot; peak handicap form time before is respected. |
|||
5th (2)  (12/1 +33%)Get Shirty |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Get Shirty 12/1, Had an excellent 2022, with wins in Copper Horse at Royal Ascot and Old Newton Cup at Haydock. Placed twice in the Middle East in February but below par back in Britain in recent months and even a return to his best is unlikely to be enough in this company. Good runs at Meydan and Riyadh in February but out of sorts in his four runs since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
A comfortable winner of the Ormonde Stakes at Chester in May, dual C&D scorer HAMISH arrives in fine form and even though he has to shoulder a 3lb penalty, he is clearly the one to beat. One Evening appears an improving filly and shaped as though she can progress again for stepping up in distance when keeping on for second over 1m4f at Pontefract. She gets the danger vote ahead of classy stayer Tashkhan, who is back on home soil following a fair fourth in France.
HAMISH boasts a very healthy 4-5 record at Group 3 level and a 3 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop him going in again. Tashkhan is preferred to One Evening for the forecast spot.
Assuming that the ground has turned softer than good, this should be an excellent opportunity for the admirable HAMISH.

11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Specific Times 11/1, Matched debut form when second in 4-runner Catterick maiden (5f) in May and considerately handled when fourth in similar event at Ripon 24 days ago. Remains with potential. Has displayed ability on her three starts and she's in good hands to progress. |

11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Callianassa 11/1, Stepped forward from debut when sixth in a novice at Beverley last month. Out of her depth in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot since and opening mark looks fair. Caught the eye when sixth in the Hilary Needler and she's a possible now up in trip. |
|||
3rd (1)  (5/1 -25%)Onigiri |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Onigiri 5/1, Impressive winner of maiden at Redcar before facing a stiff task in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Remains with potential and opening mark looks more than fair. Well beaten at Royal Ascot but form of debut win at Redcar reads well; retains potential. |
|||
4th (7)  (12/1 -20%)Neverstopdreaming |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Neverstopdreaming 12/1, €220,000 No Nay Never filly who built on her opening Goodwood fourth when winning 6f Pontefract maiden last month. Lost all chance at start in listed company at Newmarket since but this is more realistic. Won at Pontefract on second start; very slowly away when well beaten in Newmarket Listed. |
|||
5th (2)  (7.5/1 -88%)Biloxi Boy |
7.5/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Biloxi Boy 7.5/1, Different proposition when landing 7-runner minor event at Ripon in June. Bit disappointing at Newcastle since but likely to get back on track. Ripon novice winner (5f) on second start but faded into fourth in 6f AW novice last time. |
|||
6th (3)  (4.5/1 +31%)Arc Shadowfax |
4.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Arc Shadowfax 4.5/1, Left debut form well behind when winning 6f maiden at Redcar in May. Creditable third under a penalty at Carlisle since and seems likely to take another step forward, so well worth considering. Redcar maiden winner who has been gelded since his last run and is on the shortlist. |
|||
7th (11)  (20/1 -25%)Amayretto |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Amayretto 20/1, Just modest form on three outings to date but better than the result on each occasion, poorly placed when sixth in a novice at Thirsk last time. Type to do better off a lowly mark. Nursery debut; has shown some ability and there's a bit of potential in her pedigree. |
|||
8th (10)  (33/1 -32%)Havana Prince |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Havana Prince 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in maiden (10/1) at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 60 days ago. Showed modest form prior to that and might do better with cheekpieces tried for nursery debut. His claims could be boosted if he's back on a slow surface on nursery debut. |
|||
9th (8)  (18/1 -50%)Classy Clarets |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Classy Clarets 18/1, Left debut form well behind when third of 9 in minor event at Pontefract. Bit disappointing when only sixth in maiden at Hamilton 57 days ago but likely to have been primed for this nursery debut. Gelded since last time & improvement possible now in a nursery for his top northern stable. |
|||
10th (12)  (66/1 -164%)Sue's Little Angel |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Sue's Little Angel 66/1, Yet to push on from a mildly encouraging debut but has cheekpieces applied for nursery debut, so might get back on track. Half-sister to 3 winners; wears first-time cheekpieces on h'cap debut and not written off. |
|||
11th (6)  (6/1 +33%)Ticktyboo |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ticktyboo 6/1, Bettered debut effort when second in a C&D novice on second start and out of depth in Coventry at Royal Ascot since. Worthy of respect off a reasonable opening mark. Promise over C&D on first 2 runs; makes nursery debut off fair mark; improvement possible. |
|||
12th (5)  (4/1 +33%)Scoops Ahoy |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Scoops Ahoy 4/1, Didn't need to improve to land the odds on third start at Hamilton, well on top at finish. Struggled in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot since but remains with potential back in calmer waters. Hamilton maiden winner; well beaten at Royal Ascot but this is far more realistic. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SCOOPS AHOY looked to be out of his depth when contesting the Windsor Castle, but this should be much more to his liking and the step up in trip could bring about further improvement. Conditions are in his favour as well and he may have too much for Onigiri, who was a taking winner on debut at Redcar before finishing down the field in the Queen Mary. Biloxi Boy is another to consider for last year's winning connections, along with Specific Times and Ticktyboo.
The form of ONIGIRI's debut has a strong look to it and she's easily excused her only subsequent run at Royal Ascot, so she's fancied to get back to winning ways off an appealing mark. Arc Shadowfax seems likely to put up another solid showing and Classy Clarets deserves respect.
The filly CALLIANASSA caught the eye when sixth in the Hilary Needler at Beverley and earns the vote ahead of Arc Shadowfax.

1st (6)  (2.75/1 +21%)Robert Johnson |
2.75/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Robert Johnson 2.75/1, Straightforward type who arrives here on a high, winning 4 of his last 5 starts. Has inevitably climbed the weights as a consequence but he appeared to have a bit left up his sleeve at Musselburgh (2m, good to firm) recently and a 3 lb rise may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Big improver who has won four of his last five starts and is a major player again. |
|||
2nd (3)  (3.5/1 +42%)Malakahna |
3.5/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Malakahna 3.5/1, Won at Ascot and Newmarket on final 2 starts in 2022. Following a fruitless stint over hurdles, she has resumed in this sphere with a couple of good efforts in 2m Chester handicaps and it would be no surprise if she's on the premises once more. Clear second behind a well-handicapped rival at Chester (2m) latest; each-way claims again. |
|||
3rd (8)  (8/1 +11%)Sharp Distinction |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sharp Distinction 8/1, Benefited from going up in distance when runner-up final two outings in 2022, and shaped well when third of 11 back from a 5-month break at Kempton (2m). Definite chance off the same mark here if able to reproduce that form now returned to turf. 0-11 but was an eyecatcher at Kempton (2m, AW) last month and he's still unexposed on turf. |
|||
4th (12)  (14/1 -40%)Hellenista |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Hellenista 14/1, Best effort for a while when second in an 8-runner handicap at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) last month, leaving the impression that her turn is probably near. This is a tougher race but she's considered all the same. Got back on track with a close second at Carlisle (2m1f) and she's only 1lb higher here. |
|||
5th (1)  (5/1 +29%)Land Of Winter |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Land Of Winter 5/1, Winless since 2021 but he comes here in good nick, posting creditable efforts in defeat with blinkers enlisted at Chester and Pontefract (both at around 2¼m) the last twice. Place possibilities with Andrea Atzeni booked. Has possibilities on this drop back in trip and it would be a bonus if rain arrives. |
|||
6th (7)  (12/1 +25%)Punxsutawney Phil |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Punxsutawney Phil 12/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in December but has largely struggled since and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Won a 1m4f maiden in December but has been generally disappointing since; others preferred. |
|||
7th (5)  (18/1 +0%)Tendentious |
18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tendentious 18/1, Hit the target upped to this trip on his 2022 reappearance at Doncaster. However, he was rather in-and-out thereafter and looks vulnerable back from a 9-month absence. Struggled in final two runs last season and has something to prove after 285 days off. |
|||
8th (9)  (10/1 -25%)At The Double |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) At The Double 10/1, Won 3 times last season but looked decidedly recalcitrant in a first-time visor on return at Lingfield last month. Much more like it with headgear discarded at Newmarket (2m, good) since, albeit he again didn't look straightforward. Turned things around with his third at Newmarket and has claims if he can build on that. |
|||
9th (4)  (7.5/1 +38%)Sophiesticate |
7.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sophiesticate 7.5/1, Back on the scoreboard when landing a 6-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last month. By no means disgraced both starts since but she will need to improve for this sizeable step up in trip if she's to emerge on top here. Looks weighted near her best off this mark and she's untried at this trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ROBERT JOHNSON arrives in the form of his life, having landed a fourth victory of the season at Musselburgh earlier in the month, and Philip Kirby's gelding may have even more to offer over staying distances. Kalamity Kitty was progressive in the early part of 2022 before a lengthy absence, but she ran with plenty of credit when returning at Kempton and is capable of further improvement. Others worth noting are Malakahna, Sharp Distinction and Single.
SHARP DISTINCTION is still a maiden but there were positives to glean from his latest effort at Kempton and, if he puts his best foot forward back on turf, a deserved first taste of success could be on the way. Robert Johnson is clearly thriving and rates the main danger, while Kalamity Kitty, who was hot on the heels of the selection at Kempton, is also high on the shortlist. Malakahna is another with decent claims.
This looks wide open but it might be worth sticking with the progressive ROBERT JOHNSON, who was won four of his last five starts.

1st (9)  (12/1 +25%)Roundhay Park |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Roundhay Park 12/1, C&D winner but not proving the easiest to catch right this season, below-form fifth of 10 at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. More is needed. None too consistent and only fifth of ten at Haydock last week. |
|||
2nd (16)  (8/1 +60%)Little Muddy |
8/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Little Muddy 8/1, Scored at Doncaster and Ayr in early summer and not discredited when sixth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago. One to consider. Better than ever as a 7yo and should be thereabouts, especially if there's rain. |
|||
3rd (6)  (6.5/1 +35%)Ascot Adventure |
6.5/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ascot Adventure 6.5/1, Cheekpieces on for first time when fair fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 16 days ago. Needs to build on it if he's to get back to winning ways. Step in right direction last time; becoming well handicapped; more persuasive than many. |
|||
4th (18)  (20/1 +0%)Muscika |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Muscika 20/1, C&D winner but comes here below his best, only tenth over C&D 28 days ago. Others appeal more. Down in weights; plenty of good runs here over the years; could have a say. |
|||
5th (17)  (33/1 +0%)Oso Rapido |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Oso Rapido 33/1, Yet to hit top form this season, though not best drawn when ninth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Still needs to step forward. Hard to fancy on recent form but now well treated and Tom Marquand is a positive booking. |
|||
6th (11)  (20/1 +39%)Sun Power |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sun Power 20/1, Dual winner at 7f for Darryll Holland in 2021. Very lightly raced since but not disgraced on yard debut when seventh of 14 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. No forlorn hope. Never landed a blow on stable debut last week but at least this return to 6f should suit. |
|||
7th (19)  (50/1 -150%)Holbache |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Holbache 50/1, Better than ever when last seen out eight months ago, emphatic winner of 6f Kempton handicap. Needs to hit the ground running off a 9 lb higher mark now though. Scored twice on AW last autumn; now reappears off career-high mark after eight months off. |
|||
8th (14)  (14/1 +30%)Westmorian |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Westmorian 14/1, Signed off for 2022 with back-to-back wins at Southwell and Newcastle but yet to hit top form this term, fourth of seven at Carlisle in May. More is required after a break. Better form on AW than grass and only fourth when last seen in the spring; bit to prove.. |
|||
9th (13)  (18/1 +28%)Majeski Man |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Majeski Man 18/1, Two-time 5f winner at Nottingham and Beverley in May but only ninth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Two wins in the spring but seems to have gone off the boil and others appeal more. |
|||
10th (4)  (4.5/1 -13%)Fantasy Master |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fantasy Master 4.5/1, Got off the mark for the season in 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, always holding on. Not discounted despite taking a 4 lb rise. Hung on by a neck to win at Doncaster; career best required to follow up. |
|||
11th (1)  (5.5/1 +31%)Ghathanfar |
5.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ghathanfar 5.5/1, Course winner who took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago, going off too hard. Very much one to consider off a handy-looking mark. Latest run promised more and he's now very well handicapped; high on the list. |
|||
12th (12)  (16/1 +36%)Abolish |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Abolish 16/1, Arrives below par, eighth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 70 days ago on his final run for Iain Jardine. Needs to get back on track for his new handler. 13lb lower than when winning at Ripon last autumn but regressive since; new stable today. |
|||
13th (20)  (40/1 -21%)Leodis Dream |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (20) Leodis Dream 40/1, Winless this term and he came in last of 8 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Has it to prove now. One win from last 32 starts; too much to prove for comfort despite falling mark. |
|||
14th (7)  (10/1 +29%)Snash |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Snash 10/1, Yet to hit top form this term, visored for 1st time when fourth of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Others appeal more. Encouraging fourth here in June and had excuse next time; not dismissed lightly. |
|||
15th (5)  (14/1 +50%)Devil's Angel |
14/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Devil's Angel 14/1, Dual 5f/6f winner in 2022 who wasn't disgraced when third of 6 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft) 25 days ago. Not ruled out off a falling mark. Well handicapped on clearcut Haydock win last summer but hasn't landed a blow since. |
|||
16th (8)  (5.5/1 +50%)Miss Bella Brand |
5.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Miss Bella Brand 5.5/1, Dual 6f winner at Doncaster and Windsor in early summer but only seventh of 10 in 7f listed race at Hanover 47 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Stiff task last time; previously successful in two 6f handicaps; soft ground would suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Novak has been risen 10lb after a hat-trick of wins at Ayr and Hamilton and he's one to keep on side but he may be vulnerable to some better-treated rivals, such as ABATE. Adrian Nicholls' charge has been running consistently of late and, dropped 1lb in the ratings, he appears primed to offer another bold showing. Fantasy Master regained the winning thread at Doncaster and arrives here with a squeak, while Doctor Khan Junior is just one other who could feature in a deep race.
Course winner GHATHANFAR hinted at a revival when fifth at Thirsk last time out and is taken to build on that and capitalise on a handy-looking mark now. Novak rates the obvious threat in his bid for a four-timer with Doncaster scorer Fantasy Master and in-form pair Rathbone and Abate completing the shortlist.
A wide-open sprint can go to GHATHANFAR who has a solid record at York and is well handicapped despite top weight.

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.
