1st (16)  (22/1 -38%)Soul Seeker |
22/1(-38%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Soul Seeker 22/1, C&D winner who has been holding his form well lately and has cheekpieces refitted today, so could get involved if things go his way. Won this in 2021; not the same force nowadays but edging down weights and not ruled out. |
|||
2nd (17)  (6/1 +33%)Ecclesiastical |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Ecclesiastical 6/1, Scored at Chester in June and has remained in form since, third at Catterick (didn't find much) 10 days ago. Not a forlorn hope. Two convincing wins last month; beaten the next twice but could still be on a good mark. |
|||
3rd (11)  (9/1 +25%)Sugar Baby |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sugar Baby 9/1, Bounced back to score in a race that panned out nicely at Thirsk in June. Has remained in form since without threatening to add to that success. In good form of late & could be in the mix if conditions are okay (unproven on slow going). |
|||
4th (6)  (20/1 -25%)Treacherous |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Treacherous 20/1, Scored at Newbury in June and has generally held his form since, travelling smoothly when runner-up at Windsor last time. Big-field, well-run races suit him, so he could take a hand. Some good performances over 6f this season but drops back down to 5f here. |
|||
5th (5)  (6/1 +20%)Ey Up It's Maggie |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ey Up It's Maggie 6/1, Gambled on to make a winning return at Doncaster but hasn't been firing lately, so hard to make a solid case for despite being partnered by a top Jumps jockey. Disappointing the last twice but returns from a break and Paul Townend takes the ride. |
|||
6th (10)  (7/1 +42%)Strong Johnson |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Strong Johnson 7/1, Hasn't won for almost two years but better signs lately for current yard, not disgraced when fifth at Nottingham 11 days ago. Too well handicapped to rule out completely. Very well handicapped on last year's Irish form and things may click again at some point. |
|||
7th (7)  (7.5/1 -7%)Speedacus |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Speedacus 7.5/1, Showed benefit of comeback run when bouncing back to form to score in a first-time visor at Chepstow (5f) in June and decisively resumed winning ways at Doncaster last time. 4 lb rise for that seems fair but he's not the most consistent. Two wins from his last four starts and can be thereabouts if again on a going day. |
|||
8th (13)  (40/1 -60%)Strong Power |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Strong Power 40/1, Well treated and got back on track to some extent when fifth at Nottingham 3 weeks ago. Has left Alice Haynes and consistency isn't his strong suit, so others make more appeal. Very well handicapped on AW form but he's not the same force on turf; stable debut. |
|||
9th (15)  (33/1 -32%)Prospect |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Prospect 33/1, Scored at Catterick in June but hasn't really been in top form since, so others make more appeal. Won at Catterick last month but needs to better his three subsequent performances. |
|||
10th (4)  (14/1 -56%)Sound Reason |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sound Reason 14/1, Has benefited from the return to positive tactics lately, building on the encouragement of his previous outing when scoring (with little to spare) at Beverley last time. Should go well again if they don't go too hard up front. Won at Beverley three weeks ago and solid claims under champion jumps jockey Brian Hughes. |
|||
11th (2)  (8/1 +33%)Count D'orsay |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Count D'orsay 8/1, Right back on song of late to score at Hamilton and Chester. Lesser showing at Yarmouth a couple of days ago but no great surprise if he bounces back. Two wins this summer but disappointing in hat-trick bid at Yarmouth on Thursday. |
|||
12th (14)  (18/1 +0%)Showalong |
18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Showalong 18/1, Overcame a troubled start to record his first win in over 2 years at Nottingham in May. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests in his follow-up bid at Ayr but poor twice since, including at Catterick 10 days ago. Won at Nottingham in May but three lesser performances have followed. |
|||
13th (8)  (18/1 +64%)Majeski Man |
18/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Majeski Man 18/1, Two-time 5f winner at Nottingham and Beverley in May but hasn't been firing since, so others make more appeal. Won two in a row in May but hasn't shone on his last three outings. |
|||
14th (1)  (8/1 -14%)Sampers Seven |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sampers Seven 8/1, Becoming well treated and has shown a liking for this track in the past. Creditable third at Salisbury last time and, while slow starts have been a hindrance of late, first-time blinkers should perk him up, so he's worth chancing. On a long losing sequence but running pretty well this year and has edged down the weights. |
|||
15th (18)  (33/1 -32%)Dream Deal |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Dream Deal 33/1, Best effort this term when second at Pontefract last time but this is a more competitive event and he's wrong at the weights, so others are more persuasive. 0-10 but ran well at Pontefract latest & could have more to offer in the retained headgear. |
|||
16th (19)  (80/1 -100%)Van Gerwen |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Van Gerwen 80/1, Took a step back in right direction when fourth at Nottingham a month ago but still some way below the pick of last year's efforts and looks up against it from out of the weights. 10yo who has a patchy profile nowadays and is 5lb out of the handicap here. |
|||
17th (12)  (25/1 +24%)Leodis Dream |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Leodis Dream 25/1, Winless this term and he has plenty to prove after another tame display here a fortnight ago. 2nd in this last year but hasn't shone this season and might not want slow ground nowadays. |
|||
18th (3)  (22/1 -10%)Glory Fighter |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glory Fighter 22/1, Back to winning ways in first-time cheekpieces in 5f Catterick handicap last month and ran well after 8 lb rise at Musselburgh next time. Drawn poorly over C&D on latest outing and he's not one to write off completely. Won at Catterick last month but failed to threaten over this C&D most recently. |
|||
19th (9)  (28/1 -12%)Resilience |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Resilience 28/1, Has tumbled down the weights this year and offered a lot more encouragement when runner-up at Musselburgh last time. Looks a player if he can build on that. Back to form when runner-up at Musselburgh and each-way claims if backing up that effort. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Paul Midgley arrives with a strong team as he bids to emulate last year's success, and STRONG JOHNSON could be the pick of them. The seven-year-old has dropped 19lb in the handicap since the turn of the year and, with recent performances leaving the suggestion a return to form is near, he could cash in on a reduced mark. Beverley scorer Sound Reason merits the utmost respect, while Sampers Seven, Treacherous and Leodis Dream are just a few others to consider.
SAMPERS SEVEN has been bubbling under so far this term but, down in grade with blinkers on at a track that suits him, everything might fall into place today. Sound Reason looks a threat on the back of success at Beverley and Treacherous is likely to get involved if the leaders go too quickly.
Top Irish jumps jockey Paul Townend rides EY UP IT'S MAGGIE, who has a handy mark and possesses plenty of good course form.

1st (11)  (7/1 -40%)Aberama Gold |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Aberama Gold 7/1, C&D winner who shaped promisingly, on debut for new yard, when fifth of 16 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 12 days ago, doing too much too soon. 1 lb lower now and is one for shortlist. Two wins last month and another big run on recent stable debut; firmly in calculations. |
|||
2nd (15)  (6/1 +76%)Manila Scouse |
6/1(+76%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Manila Scouse 6/1, Low mileage for a 4-y-o sprinter and not for the first time this year he shaped well when second at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on penultimate start. Raced closer to the pace than ideal back at that venue since and better showing not ruled out here. Engaged 6.40 York Friday. Had an excuse at Ayr 12 days ago; running well previously; fourth 6.40 here yesterday. |
|||
3rd (5)  (12/1 -9%)The Green Man |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Green Man 12/1, Thriving at present and forged clear to score again over C&D last month. Shaped as if still in good form when third at Newmarket since and must enter calculations. Only third at Newmarket latest but commanding win in big field over this C&D previously. |
|||
4th (2)  (10/1 +0%)Summerghand |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Summerghand 10/1, Smart gelding who was a three-time winner last year, including in Ayr Gold Cup. Not at his best so far this term but is becoming well handicapped (5 lb below last winning mark). Has dropped to a dangerous mark but it's been a below-par campaign for this 9yo. |
|||
5th (1)  (6/1 +14%)Lethal Levi |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lethal Levi 6/1, Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Yet to score this term but back on track when respectable third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 28 days ago. Likely contender Went close in big-field C&D handicap in May and he's capable of a bold show. |
|||
6th (4)  (14/1 -65%)Magical Spirit |
14/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Magical Spirit 14/1, Below par on AW latest but had posted good third in C&D handicap previously and goes well with cut in the ground. Respected. Below par at Newcastle last time but in good form on turf previously (including C&D). |
|||
7th (10)  (11/1 -10%)Barefoot Angel |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Barefoot Angel 11/1, Dual winner as juvenile, including listed race over this trip at Ayr. Didn't see test out when well beaten in Nell Gwyn Stakes on return at Newmarket (7f) in April and doesn't look particularly well treated sent handicapping here. Had wind operation. Well beaten on sole 3yo run but wind op since; 2yo Group 3 winner last September. |
|||
8th (13)  (14/1 +22%)International Girl |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) International Girl 14/1, Dual winner last season who has acquitted herself well in both starts this term, latest when fourth of 8 in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 43 days ago. Soft ground is a concern, though. C&D winner who arrives in good form; unproven on slow ground. |
|||
9th (8)  (8/1 +33%)It Just Takes Time |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) It Just Takes Time 8/1, Winner of 6f handicaps at Thirsk and Ripon this term and back on track when creditable second of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Ought to go well again. Has improved this year, with two wins, and he's a possible player. |
|||
10th (14)  (14/1 -17%)Music Society |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Music Society 14/1, Arrives in good form, making the frame again when creditable second of 16 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 12 days ago. Effective on slow ground and can make presence felt. Went close in this race in 2021 and did likewise at Ayr recently; could be bang there. |
|||
11th (3)  (22/1 -83%)Mondammej |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mondammej 22/1, Useful gelding but on a lengthy losing run and has been below par the last twice. Bit to prove at present. Has often run well over 5f here but that appears to be his optimum trip. |
|||
12th (12)  (25/1 +11%)Abduction |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Abduction 25/1, Excuses at Ayr latest but is yet to score this term and hasn't done enough in recent starts to suggest his time is near. A strongly run 6f in big field could be right up his street; should finish to good effect. |
|||
13th (9)  (16/1 -14%)Zarzyni |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Zarzyni 16/1, Ran a cracker when fourth of 20 in 5f handicap at Epsom last month but below form at Ascot since and returns to longer trip now. Percentage call is to look elsewhere. Well beaten a fortnight ago but some strong finishes over 5f previously; returns to 6f. |
|||
14th (6)  (18/1 -50%)Hyperfocus |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hyperfocus 18/1, Veteran who resumed winning ways in style in 5f handicap at Ripon (heavy) in April and posted creditable third at Chester over this trip next time. Needs to bounce back from below-par effort at Hamilton latest, though. Not at best at Hamilton recently but in good form previously and he's effective over C&D. |
|||
15th (7)  (9/1 +18%)Lucky Man |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lucky Man 9/1, C&D winner who took a step back in right direction when respectable third of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Claims if building on that. Fair run at Ascot latest and ran really well in C&D handicaps last term; one to consider. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A case can be made for many of these but marginal preference is for LETHAL LEVI, who was not disgraced when third off this mark at Newcastle last time. The four-year-old is only 3lb higher than when a neck second over course and distance in May and he is likely to go very well once again. Magical Spirit is closely matched with the selection having finished third in the aforementioned contest at this venue, while Lucky Man and Mondammej are others with valid form claims.
Preference is for ABERAMA GOLD, who left the impression there are more races to be won with him off this sort of mark when fifth on debut for David O'Meara at Ayr last time. Music Society and The Green Man head the list of dangers.
Having fared best of the prominent racers at Ayr recently, when overhauled by four rivals close home, ABERAMA GOLD (nap) is the pick.

1st (1)  (5/1 -25%)Alflaila |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alflaila 5/1, Ended 2022 firmly on the up, supplementing his Group 3 Strensall Stakes win at this venue at that level in the Darley Stakes at Newmarket (9f). Has an absence to overcome but a big form player if he returns in peak condition. Highly progressive last year; returns from absence but he's a major player nevertheless. |
|||
2nd (4)  (1/1 -10%)My Prospero |
1/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) My Prospero 1/1, Very progressive 3-y-o, landing odds in the Prix Eugene Adam at Saint-Cloud and cranked it up another notch when third in Champion Stakes at Ascot (½ length behind Bay Bridge) final start that year. Failed to come on for reappearance when fourth in Prince of Wales's Stakes but he's a massive player. Didn't totally fire at Royal Ascot but leading claims if back to his best. |
|||
3rd (5)  (4.5/1 +31%)Royal Champion |
4.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Royal Champion 4.5/1, Shaped as though amiss in the Champion Stakes final start in 2022 but stepped up markedly on his comeback run when landing the Wolferton Stakes at Ascot last month. That was a deep race of its type so he has to be taken seriously. Listed win at Royal Ascot last month; tougher opposition here but could be up to the task. |
|||
4th (2)  (9/1 +36%)Checkandchallenge |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Checkandchallenge 9/1, Three-time winner (including a 1m Group 3) who is often highly tried, not beaten far in the Lockinge at Newbury in May. Left with plenty to do how the race unfolded at Ascot last month but he's well worth another crack at this trip. Visor reached for. French 1m Group 3 winner last August and not ruled out on his second attempt at 1m2f. |
|||
5th (3)  (7/1 -17%)Mashhoor |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mashhoor 7/1, At the very top of his game, taking the rise in class in his stride when completing the hat-trick in Group 3 company at the Curragh a month ago. Uncomplicated sort but this asks another question of him. Highly progressive in Ireland and won Group 3 last time; could make another bold bid. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Alflaila was progressive as a three-year-old last year, winning his last three starts of the campaign in Listed/Group 3 company. As a course winner, Owen Burrows' charge must be taken seriously on his return to action, but the safe play is MY PROSPERO, who gets the class drop following his fourth in the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. Royal Champion won the Wolferton Stakes at the same meeting and comes here in good heart, while Mashhoor is on a roll and he beat a good yardstick in Al Riffa at the Curragh latest.
MY PROSPERO's placed effort in the Champion Stakes at Ascot last autumn is the best piece of form on offer, and while he hasn't yet matched that in 2023, this looks a good opening for him eased slightly in class. Royal Champion arrives on the back of a career-best effort and is feared most, though Alflaila is dangerous if returning in top form.
My Prospero holds strong claims but ALFLAILA looked a top-notch prospect when winning his final three starts last year.

1st (5)  (3/1 -9%)Blue Prince |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Blue Prince 3/1, Built on earlier promise when going close at Doncaster (6f) a fortnight ago, definitely suited by the longer trip. His mark doesn't look stiff and he's a fair prospect for nurseries now. Went close at Doncaster recently and he's firmly in calculations on nursery debut. |
|||
2nd (1)  (4.5/1 -64%)Ganesha |
4.5/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ganesha 4.5/1, Second victory at Hamilton (5f) when landing a gamble with a bit in hand on nursery debut (just 4 runners) last week. This is tougher up 6 lb but longer trip fine and he's a player. Ready win on nursery debut at Hamilton and holds strong claims up 6lb. |
|||
3rd (4)  (9/1 +10%)There's No Limit |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) There's No Limit 9/1, Excuses at Chester last time (seemed unsuited by track, also had worst of draw) and previous Newbury third looks solid. Can go well now tackling nursery. Third on first two starts before lesser run last time; not written off on nursery debut. |
|||
4th (2)  (5/1 +17%)Packard |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Packard 5/1, Off the mark in 6f Lingfield AW novice second start before finding the Coventry too hot. Blinkers on for handicap debut and remains with potential. Won at Lingfield on second start; down the field at Royal Ascot but retains potential. |
|||
5th (3)  (1.75/1 +36%)The Good Biscuit |
1.75/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Good Biscuit 1.75/1, Seller winner who improved plenty again when easily taking 6f Lingfield novice 4 days later. Looks to have scope and can go higher still (Champagne Stakes entry). Leading claims. Has won the last twice (seller/novice) and he's one to consider on his nursery debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
PACKARD had shown a fair amount of promise on his first couple of starts, finishing second on debut at Goodwood before going one better at Lingfield, and the son of Mehmas, who was outclassed in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, is expected to bounce back with the addition of first-time blinkers. Ganesha went up 6lb for his nursery success at Hamilton and is likely to have more to offer, while others to note include There's No Limit and Blue Prince.
None of these can be ruled out but BLUE PRINCE looks the type to do better now contesting nurseries for Richard Fahey and gets the vote over the hat-trick seeking The Good Biscuit and There's No Limit.
The Richard Fahey-trained BLUE PRINCE went close at Doncaster recently and is taken to go one better on this nursery debut.

(10)  (11/1 +8%)Kalamity Kitty |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kalamity Kitty 11/1, Winner of all 3 starts of a truncated 2022 campaign and proved that her ability remains intact following 13 months off when fifth in 2m Kempton handicap in June. Should be sharper now and she has to enter calculations. Off 13 months before reappearance and big shout if she can build on that promising display. |
|||
1st (11)  (5/1 +38%)Baez |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Baez 5/1, Positive start for the Jim Goldie yard, getting off the mark in clearcut fashion at Catterick (2m, good to firm) 17 days ago. Raised 6 lb for that but she is unexposed as a stayer. Up 6lb and markedly in class but needs respect after scoring with authority at Catterick. |
|||
2nd (7)  (0.73/1 +42%)Golden Shot |
0.73/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Golden Shot 0.73/1, Typical improver from his yard who made it 3-4 in handicaps on his 13f Ayr reappearance on Monday. Escapes a penalty as that was an apprentice race. Proven at 2m. Hard to beat if coping with quick turnaround. Won at Ayr (1m5f, good to soft) on reappearance this Monday and can race off the same mark. |
|||
3rd (5)  (16/1 -33%)Sea Grey |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sea Grey 16/1, Winner of sole start at 2 yrs for Andrew Balding. Has drawn a blank since but recent efforts respectable and his mark continues to edge down. Steps up significantly in trip. Debut in November 2021 was his only win; major unease about his prospects over 2m today. |

4th (3)  (12/1 +0%)Zimmerman |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Zimmerman 12/1, Largely consistent, bouncing back from a couple of lesser runs when third over 14.5f at Chester a fortnight ago. Each-way claims if stamina holds stepping up to 2m for the first time. Best on softer than good; has a big question to answer, though, with this move up in trip. |
|||
5th (12)  (66/1 +0%)Yakhabar |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Yakhabar 66/1, Fair maiden. Respectable fifth of 8 at Hamilton (1½m) last month. 4 lb out of the handicap now stepping back up in trip. It's likely that wait for a first win will go on. Ten-race maiden; 4lb out of the handicap today and seems up against it. |
|||
6th (4)  (18/1 -50%)Caldwell |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Caldwell 18/1, Hurdles winner who opened his account on the Flat at Kempton (2m) a year ago and followed that with a trio of in-frame efforts. Respectable fifth of 11 in 2m handicap at Nottingham on reappearance but not at best over hurdles since. Career-best form on Flat last April-June; his few starts since raise doubts. |
|||
7th (8)  (9/1 +36%)Yorkindness |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Yorkindness 9/1, Career best when winning easily over 17f at Pontefract but that was a weak 4-runner race and she's been held from marks in the low-70s twice since. Stays well but has a 2-17 strike-rate with too many modest shows for comfort. |
|||
8th (6)  (8/1 +20%)Mister Camacho |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mister Camacho 8/1, Belatedly got off the mark in impressive fashion when scoring by 7½ lengths in 6-runner event (6/4) at Catterick (1¾m, heavy) in April. Respectable sixth of 12 at Hamilton (13f) the following month. Been off 11 weeks. Stays 2m; form claims rest on his wide-margin win at Catterick (1m6f, soft) in April. |
|||
9th (2)  (33/1 -65%)Red Force One |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Red Force One 33/1, Three Flat wins last summer included one over C&D. Also successful over hurdles at Huntingdon in May but pulled up at Stratford earlier this month (found to have an irregular heartbeat). Impressive in this last year (up 8lb today); irregular heartbeat over hurdles 25 days ago. |
|||
10th (9)  (28/1 -40%)Clansman |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Clansman 28/1, Won on reappearance at Doncaster in April. Respectable in-frame efforts at Hamilton on 2 of his 3 starts since. Steps up 3f in trip here. Won over 1m5f on heavy going last October but has not proved himself beyond that. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KALAMITY KITTY was denied a fifth consecutive win when switching to the all-weather for her latest outing and she is fancied to bounce back here. Even though she remains 5lb above her last winning mark, which came over this distance at Nottingham in May, she can get the better of last-time-out winner Baez, who races off 6lb higher. Golden Shot scored on his return to action at Ayr on Monday and cannot be taken lightly off the same mark, while Captain Kane also warrants consideration.
A race which to some degree revolves around GOLDEN SHOT, who will be tough to beat off the same mark as when scoring at Ayr on Monday if this doesn't come too quickly on him. Captain Kane got back to winning ways when stepped up to 2m at Lingfield last time and is second choice ahead of Kalamity Kitty and Baez.
Golden Shot has a great deal going for him but faces a very interesting rival in KALAMITY KITTY. Third on the list is Baez.

1st (6)  (8.5/1 +29%)Dark Moon Rising |
8.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dark Moon Rising 8.5/1, Hasn't fulfilled his early 3-y-o promise though at least made more of an impact off his reduced mark when third of 13 in handicap at this course (10.2f, good, 16/1) 15 days ago. More competitive again when never-nearer third of 13 here (1m2f, good to soft) last time. |
|||
2nd (1)  (7/1 +7%)Lizzie Jean |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lizzie Jean 7/1, Did well on AW last year, gaining second career victory at Southwell (11.1f) in July. Better for return when second at Chester in May but soft ground would be a slight concern. Creditable second of ten at Chester (1m4f, good) on latest outing; usual hood is removed. |
|||
3rd (7)  (2.75/1 +45%)Gibside |
2.75/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gibside 2.75/1, Pair of 1½m Ripon wins last summer and added to his tally when a smooth winner at Carlisle in June. Caught too far back in the Cumberland Plate back there next time but quickly resuming winning ways over C&D 2 weeks ago despite a slow start. Remains of interest. Both wins this summer came in quite taking style and the latest was over C&D. |
|||
4th (4)  (8/1 +50%)Cormier |
8/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cormier 8/1, Dual purpose performer who added to his tally at Chester (1¼m) last July. Has struggled in varied events since but did at least halt the slide (following wind op) when fourth in 8-runner handicap back at that venue (11.3f, soft) 15 days ago. Task now is to build on that. Made an encouraging return to the Flat 15 days ago after wind surgery and 132-day absence. |
|||
5th (3)  (4/1 +67%)Two Brothers |
4/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Two Brothers 4/1, Career best when winning 14-runner Cumberland Plate at Carlisle (11f, soft) and shaped as if still in good form at Chester since, the step up in trip on testing ground stretching him. Not taken lightly. Excellent season at about 1m3f/1m4f before 1m6f seemed to find him out two weeks ago. |
|||
6th (12)  (4/1 +20%)Whatacracker |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Whatacracker 4/1, Cracksman 3-y-o who confirmed himself progressive when forging clear to score at Carlisle 16 days ago and needs considering up 6 lb. 8th start when off the mark in some style off 6lb lower at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft). |
|||
7th (5)  (50/1 +0%)Grand Scheme |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Grand Scheme 50/1, Twice a winner on the Flat last summer for Richard Hannon. However, poor form over hurdles for current yard so bit to prove back in this sphere. Ended last season on a low note and has not set the world alight over hurdles for new yard. |
|||
8th (8)  (8/1 +60%)Feel The Need |
8/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Feel The Need 8/1, Fairly useful 7f juvenile winner who resumed after 7 months off/gelded with an excellent second of six in 7.5f Beverley handicap. Efforts since have been a bit underwhelming, however (high head carriage). Carries his head high; shaped last time as if worth a go at 1m4f; others are preferred. |
|||
9th (9)  (20/1 -122%)Gastronomy |
20/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Gastronomy 20/1, Good second in Ripon handicap over this trip on yard debut at the beginning of June but unable to build on that both starts since, 4½ lengths fourth of 10 to Gibside in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 15 days ago. 6 lb better off with winner here. Not that far away in his 1m4f handicaps; fourth to Gibside over C&D (good to soft) latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Enthrallment and recent C&D winner Gibside have a lot going for them and, along with the reliable Two Brothers, they warrant serious consideration. However, both Bulldog Spirit and DUBAI CRYSTAL get weight from their elder rivals and that could be a crucial factor. The last-named appeals as the stronger of the two on these terms and, given that her dam was third in the Oaks, this longer trip is likely to suit the Karl Burke-trained filly.
This looks competitive but improving 3-y-o WHATACRACKER could be the answer given the manner of his success at Carlisle last time. Enthrallment and Gibside also arrive on the back of career-best runs so they head the dangers.
This month's clearcut C&D winner GIBSIDE is the most persuasive option, ahead of Two Brothers.

1st (1)  (6/1 -33%)Bajan Bandit |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bajan Bandit 6/1, Has taken his form up a notch for his current yard, making all in 7f Haydock handicap before very good running-on fourth of 10 there three weeks ago. May do better still so he merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark. Arrives on back of two good runs at Haydock; thereabouts if handling the softer ground. |
|||
2nd (8)  (6.5/1 -18%)Craven |
6.5/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Craven 6.5/1, Refitted with a visor when opening his account in 8-runner handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can't be discounted despite taking a 3 lb rise with headgear retained. Bit in and out but came good in 7f Leicester handicap latest; faces softer ground here. |
|||
3rd (17)  (28/1 +58%)Reginald Charles |
28/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Reginald Charles 28/1, Is yet to fire this season, too free in a first-time visor when seventh of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Beaten upwards of 7l when seventh on all three outings this season; best to look elsewhere. |
|||
4th (7)  (10/1 +0%)Dartman |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dartman 10/1, Fair maiden at 2yrs. Off 9 months before posting a respectable fifth of 10 in maiden at Bath (8f, good) 17 days ago. Needs to build on it back in handicap company. Fair form; could be sharper for his recent reappearance fifth over 1m; acts on soft. |
|||
5th (13)  (6/1 +25%)Sunny Orange |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Sunny Orange 6/1, Largely in good form this term, fourth of 12 in handicap here (7.9f, good) 15 days ago. Enters calculations once more off the same mark. Fourth in 1m handicap here recently, shaping as if return to 7f may help; each-way shout. |
|||
6th (12)  (12/1 +25%)Sidney's Son |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Sidney's Son 12/1, Got back on track when second of 5 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Not discounted returned to handicaps in search of a maiden success. Fair maiden; good second on turf last time and yard has winning form in this race; claims. |
|||
7th (6)  (14/1 +13%)Indian Falcon |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Indian Falcon 14/1, Resumed with 6f novice win at Pontefract in April but he came in last of 13 in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 42 days ago. Others appeal more. Won 6f novice on soft; disappointing on C&D handicap debut but it's still early days. |
|||
8th (14)  (25/1 +24%)Common Acclaim |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Common Acclaim 25/1, Has gone backwards from his reappearance Beverley third, last of 7 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Back down in trip with cheekpieces on and lots to prove. Below par in two runs since reappearance third; back down in trip with headgear added. |
|||
9th (15)  (14/1 +0%)B Associates |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) B Associates 14/1, Bagged a fourth win at Ayr (7f) in June only to come in last of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 14 days ago. This return to 7f should suit and he's the sort to bounce back. Progressive on good/good to firm but well held on soft at Ayr two weeks ago. |
|||
10th (2)  (4/1 +20%)Just Janet |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Just Janet 4/1, Resumed winning ways in good style at Catterick in July but only a respectable fourth of 8 at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago. Worth another chance off a 2 lb lower mark. Suited by 7f when winning at Catterick this month; fair fourth on AW since; in the mix. |
|||
11th (5)  (22/1 -22%)Mr Squires |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mr Squires 22/1, Fair 7f juvenile winner. Yet to kick on this term, only fifth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (7f, soft) 7 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. AW novice winner at 2 but no impact in two handicaps in recent weeks. |
|||
12th (9)  (20/1 +20%)Pocket The Packet |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Pocket The Packet 20/1, Three-time AW winner over the winter who took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago. Hood goes back on (has won in it) and needs considering. Yet to get seriously competitive for current yard; others are more compelling. |
|||
13th (10)  (33/1 +0%)Vince Le Prince |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Vince Le Prince 33/1, Ended 2022 out of sorts and he came in last of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) on his return in May. Has something to prove after another break. Has gone backwards since Redcar debut win a year ago; hard to fancy. |
|||
14th (11)  (66/1 -100%)Dyed In The Wool |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Dyed In The Wool 66/1, Winner at Newcastle in January. Off 5 months/had wind op before fading ninth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago. Can take a step forward now so he's no forlorn hope off an easing mark. Handicapper in charge since 7f AW win in January. |
|||
15th (4)  (11/1 +31%)Maharajas Express |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Maharajas Express 11/1, Debut 6f Kempton winner but yet to hit top form this spring, looking ill at ease on the track when eighth of 12 at Lingfield (6f, AW) 113 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for his turf bow and no forlorn hope. Engaged Ascot 3.00 Friday. Hampered on AW handicap debut in April; off since (gelded); turf debut. |
|||
16th (3)  (8.5/1 -55%)Chelsea Square |
8.5/1(-55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chelsea Square 8.5/1, Runner-up in 7f Newbury novice on his debut but below that form since, third of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 29 days ago. More is needed now going into handicaps. Yet to build on debut second but heads into handicaps as an unexposed sort; yard in form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Sunny Orange put in a much more encouraging display last time over a mile at this track, when beaten just over two lengths into fourth, and it would be no surprise to see him play a role off the same rating. However, the one with the more appealing profile is handicap-debutant CHELSEA SQUARE, who could be up to defying his opening mark if able to reproduce the form of his first career start when second at Newbury. Bajan Bandit and Indian Falcon are others to watch out for.
BAJAN BANDIT has returned an improved model for Grant Tuer in 2023 and can bag a second success for the yard on the back of his very good Haydock fourth. Just Janet failed to build on her stylish Catterick victory when fourth at Wolverhampton last time out but shouldn't be discounted off a still handy-looking mark so is next on the list. Leicester-scorer Craven and the consistent Sunny Orange complete the shortlist in a very open handicap.

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.
