1st (3)  (13/2 -8%)Shadow Dance |
13/2(-8%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shadow Dance 13/2, Made good strides in first season, including second in the very competitive Old Rowley Cup at Newmarket. Well held in the Duke of Edinburgh on his Royal Ascot reappearance but quickly back on track when second of 9 at Ripon (1½m) 4 weeks later, despite not looking at ease on the track. Respected. Ran poorly at Royal Ascot, sole start on good to firm; close 2nd at Ripon five weeks ago. |
|||
2nd (6)  (10/1 -11%)Lieber Power |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lieber Power 10/1, Has thrived since stepped up to 1½m this summer, winning here and at Chepstow. Conceded first run when narrowly denied in a Racing League handicap last week, suggesting his mark is still very workable. A must for the shortlist. Returned to 1m4f this summer for two wins and two close seconds; 4lb higher in future. |
|||
3rd (10)  (28/1 -75%)Dark Moon Rising |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dark Moon Rising 28/1, Back to form when winning at Hamilton (13f) in June. Also a creditable second of 5 at Ayr (13f again) 46 days ago but he didn't look straightforward under pressure. Former C&D winner. C&D win last July; lacks consistency but won this June and a good second on latest start. |
|||
4th (9)  (28/1 -409%)Mr Monaco |
28/1(-409%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mr Monaco 28/1, Going the right way, making all by 4 lengths in a 3-y-o only handicap at Sandown (1¼m, good) 15 days ago. 1½m seems likely to suit him on that evidence and he's of obvious interest up against largely older and more exposed opposition. Progressive in handicaps; 1m2f Sandown win; up 7lb but shapes as if worth a go at 1m4f. |
|||
5th (4)  (16/1 -14%)Euchen Glen |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Euchen Glen 16/1, Admirable veteran who showed he's still capable of useful form when snapping a losing run at Ayr (13f) in June. Good efforts in John Smith's Cup here and a Glorious Goodwood handicap since. 11yo; close fourth at Goodwood three weeks ago; well capable of a prominent finish. |
|||
6th (7)  (66/1 -633%)Grey Cuban |
66/1(-633%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Grey Cuban 66/1, Has improved for a hood, winning a pair of 1¼m Chester handicaps last month, the latter by 4½ lengths. His strength at the finish on that occasion provides hope that 1½m might be within range. 2-2 since hooded over Chester's 10.3f; new trip and races a bit too freely for comfort. |
|||
7th (12)  (40/1 -21%)Qitaal |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Qitaal 40/1, Made a winning return at Doncaster in March and plenty of decent efforts in defeat since, including fourth of 7 in a Chepstow Racing League handicap 15 days ago. First attempt at 1½m. Has largely held his form in defeat and first attempt beyond 10.3f has to be worth a go. |
|||
8th (2)  (14/1 -40%)Insanity |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Insanity 14/1, Didn't cut much ice in 2 juvenile hurdles over the winter but his profile on the Flat is one of steady progression, edging ahead late on in 1½m Ascot handicap on Shergar Cup day. A 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. 121 this season; won by a head from Dream Harder at Ascot; up 4lb but he's a rising force. |
|||
9th (11)  (100/1 -614%)Derry Lad |
100/1(-614%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Derry Lad 100/1, Dual winner (at up to 1½m) last term. Recorded good thirds in competitive handicaps at Naas and Epsom in May but well held back from a break at Galway 3 weeks ago. Last of 18 at Galway three weeks ago but he's of major interest if that can be forgiven. |
|||
10th (13)  (100/1 -3233%)Wafei |
100/1(-3233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Wafei 100/1, Looked promising on debut last year and, after a couple of underwhelming efforts, got firmly back on track when readily landing a 9f Hamilton maiden in June. Built on that when second of 7 in 11f Glorious Goodwood handicap 3 weeks ago. Unexposed profile provides the hope for better again. Five races; ran on well from off the pace when second of seven at Goodwood (1m3f) latest. |
|||
11th (8)  (100/1 -203%)Law Of The Sea |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Law Of The Sea 100/1, Resumed with a creditable effort in defeat at Chester (18.5f) in May but 3 lesser efforts have followed. Remains to be seen whether this significant drop back in trip helps. 3rd on reappearance but disappointing since; has spent last two seasons over 2m+. |
|||
12th (1)  (80/1 -100%)Track Of Time |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Track Of Time 80/1, Three-time winner on turf/AW in France last summer. Not disgraced when midfield in pair of Meydan handicaps in January for Francis-Henri Graffard but has yet to get competitive in 3 outings for this yard, including with cheekpieces added last time. Ex-French; increasing signs of a revival and he'll click again at some stage. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A progressive sort last season, SHADOW DANCE looked to be back on track when second at Ripon a month ago. The son of Almanzor is likely to be much better suited by going back left handed and he is narrowly preferred to the improving Wafei, and Mr Monaco, who should appreciate going up in trip after an emphatic success over 1m2f at Sandown last time out. A winner over C&D in July and consistent since, Lieber Power is another to note, along with Grey Cuban and Insanity.
MR MONACO is a progressive 3-y-o who should have more to offer now stepping up to 1½m so he's preferred to solid older rivals Lieber Power, who has been performing so well in the Racing League in recent weeks, Insanity and Shadow Dance.
Wafei may have the most potential but there are other good candidates and the two to focus on may be INSANITY and Derry Lad.

1st (7)  (11/2 -83%)Vauban |
11/2(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Vauban 11/2, High-class hurdler and also smart on the Flat. Decent comeback when second in Yorkshire Cup before shaping as though extreme trip of Ascot Gold Cup was too much. Disappointed in Curragh Cup next time but capable of bouncing back over a C&D which should play to his strengths. Ran respectably in the Yorkshire Cup and Ascot Gold Cup before a lesser show last time. |
|||
2nd (1)  (50/1 -52%)Al Nayyir |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Al Nayyir 50/1, Has developed into a smart stayer since being trained in France, his best effort coming when 2 lengths second of 15 in Dubai Gold Cup in March. However, that performance is a standout and well below that level for a different yard in Group 2 at Longchamp next time. Has since changed yards again. Smart in UAE and France, 66-1 second in the Dubai Gold Cup (2m, good) this March; new yard. |
|||
3rd (3)  (100/1 -2122%)Gregory |
100/1(-2122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gregory 100/1, Most progressive when winning first 3 starts last season, notably when making all in Queen's Vase. Excuses in Great Voltigeur/St Leger and made an encouraging return when third in Yorkshire Cup. Too bad to be true in Ascot Gold Cup and duly bounced back when third in Goodwood Cup. Big shout. Career-best form when third in the 2m Goodwood Cup late last month; effective here. |
|||
4th (8)  (25/1 -150%)Night Sparkle |
25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Night Sparkle 25/1, Progressive on the Flat for Michael O'Callaghan last summer and similar form when runner-up 3 of her 4 starts this term, including in Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood (14f, good to firm, 8/1) 20 days ago. Opposable back against the males, however. Fine seconds this term, two in Group races against her own sex; significantly stiffer task. |
|||
5th (4)  (66/1 -2833%)Point Lonsdale |
66/1(-2833%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Point Lonsdale 66/1, Highly tried since winning first 2 starts last season but resumed winning ways back down in Ormonde Stakes at Chester in May. Not disgraced back at Group 1 level when third in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud since. Shapes as if he wants a marathon trip nowadays so is an interesting contender. Unraced beyond 13.3f of his impressive Chester win in May, when galloped on relentlessly. |
|||
6th (5)  (100/1 -733%)Quickthorn |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Quickthorn 100/1, Front runner who slipped the field when a wide-margin winner of the Goodwood Cup last summer and did the same in this race next time. However, well held since (unable to dominate) and opposable on balance. Gave them the slip in this race two years ago and 2023 Goodwood Cup; disappointing lately. |
|||
7th (2)  (66/1 -560%)Alsakib |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Alsakib 66/1, Developed into a smart performer in 2023, winning 4 times, including a couple of valuable handicaps, and best effort this term when winning Group 3 here (13.8f) 6 weeks ago. However, that wasn't a strong race for the grade and likely to find a few too good here. Kept finding to get on top late on in 1m6f Group 3 here six weeks ago; 2m beckons. |
|||
8th (9)  (66/1 -450%)Align The Stars |
66/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Align The Stars 66/1, Sea The Stars colt who continues to improve with each run, winning handicaps at Thirsk and Haydock before completing hat-trick at Glorious Goodwood. Will stay but this is a tough ask. 2m is well worth a go but marked further progress is required on graduation from handicaps. |
|||
9th (6)  (100/1 -203%)Tashkhan |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tashkhan 100/1, Smart stayer who signed off for 2023 with a solid third in the Prix Royal-Oak at Longchamp. However, well held both starts this season so has plenty to prove. Needs to put this season's two runs (good to soft latest) way behind him; best in the mud. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Aidan O'Brien looks to have a prime candidate in POINT LONSDALE, who has long shaped as though he would relish this trip. A taking winner of the Ormonde at Chester in May and a promising third in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud since, the son of Australia looks primed for a big run. Vauban had the reopposing Gregory (third) behind when runner-up in the Yorkshire Cup here in May, and both are likely to be thereabouts once again. A comfortable winner of a Group 3 here last month, Alsakib continues to progress and may turn out to be the main danger to the selection.
GREGORY put his Gold Cup shocker behind him when just edged out for second in the Goodwood Cup and can record his first win since making all in the Queen's Vase at Ascot as a 3-y-o. Vauban needs to shrug off a disappointing run at the Curragh but he finished in front of the selection in the Yorkshire Cup here and is an obvious threat, with Point Lonsdale another to consider with the extra distance likely to suit.
Gregory may prove best of the established stayers but ALSAKIB and Point Lonsdale are preferred on their first appearance at 2m.

1st (6)  (17/2 +58%)Cool Hoof Luke |
17/2(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cool Hoof Luke 17/2, Knew what was required when scoring on debut at Chelmsford (6f) last month and improved a chunk on that when fourth in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. Extra 1f seemed to stretch him in Vintage Stakes at Goodwood since and this test more suitable. Close fourth in the Coventry then third in the Vintage Stakes; brings useful form. |
|||
2nd (8)  (13/2 -63%)Shadow Of Light |
13/2(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shadow Of Light 13/2, Justified market confidence to make a winning debut in 11-runner maiden at Yarmouth had no problems defying a penalty in 10-runner novice at Newmarket (6f, good) 21 days ago, plenty in hand. Up in class but is a colt of considerable potential. Latest win came in a Newmarket race that threw up the 2022 Gimcrack winner (for same yard). |
|||
3rd (9)  (100/1 -52%)Symbol Of Strength |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Symbol Of Strength 100/1, Left debut run well behind when winning 5-runner maiden at Ayr last month but needs to improve another chunk to figure at this level. Beat four rivals in Ayr maiden last month on second run; bottom of this pack on bare form. |
|||
4th (2)  (17/2 -143%)Big Mojo |
17/2(-143%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Big Mojo 17/2, Shaped with plenty of encouragement when second in Beverley maiden and showed much-improved form fast-tracked to a Group 3 when winning 15-runner Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood (5f, firm). Still far from the finished article and extra 1f unlikely to be a problem. Strong contender. Improved sharply to win the Molecomb on second start; appears to have plenty more to offer. |
|||
5th (4)  (14/1 +0%)Caburn |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Caburn 14/1, Beat a trio of previous winners when making a winning start to his career over 6f at Salisbury (good to firm) and showed useful form when following up in Super Sprint at Newbury despite shaping as if the drop down to 5f wasn't ideal. Worth a shot at this level back up in trip. Super Sprint win took his record to 2-2; this is harder but he's open to further progress. |
|||
6th (5)  (7/1 -27%)Camille Pissarro |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Camille Pissarro 7/1, Landed odds in maiden at Navan on debut before just edged out in Group 3 at the Curragh. Better than bare result when mid-field in Coventry at Royal Ascot and resumed progress when second to subsequent Group 1 winner Babouche in Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh (6.3f, good) 33 days ago. Respected. Ballydoyle colt; 0-3 since debut win but latest effort is a strong piece of Group 3 form. |
|||
7th (1)  (66/1 -1100%)Andesite |
66/1(-1100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Andesite 66/1, Pinatubo colt. Half-brother to connections' Queen Mary winner Dramatised. Looked a very good prospect when making a winning debut in C&D novice in May, pulling clear with the second and recording a good time. Interesting contender. Gritty success in C&D event at the Dante festival; looks an ideal Gimcrack type; respected. |
|||
8th (7)  (33/1 +34%)King's Call |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) King's Call 33/1, Showed plenty of speed when making all in 6f Ayr novice on debut and much-improved form upped to pattern company when sixth of 15 in Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood, though has 3 lengths to find with Big Mojo. Seems held by Big Mojo on Molecomb running but this return to 6f may help. |
|||
9th (10)  (100/1 -2400%)The Strikin Viking |
100/1(-2400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) The Strikin Viking 100/1, Impressive debut winner over C&D and enhanced his reputation when runner-up in Group 2 at the Curragh for Kevin Ryan. Shaped best when second in Richmond Stakes at Goodwood since and goes into this with leading claims. Won C&D maiden comfortably then half-length second in two Group 2 races; very solid claims. |
|||
10th (3)  (40/1 -100%)Billboard Star |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Billboard Star 40/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 9-runner novice at Newmarket (July Course) and took form to another level when second in Group 2 there. Fared best of those ridden prominently when 1½ lengths fourth in Richmond Stakes at Goodwood since and not taken lightly at a track which should suit. Solid second in the July Stakes then close fourth in the Richmond; useful gelding. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Having been worn down late on at the Curragh and Goodwood on his latest starts, THE STRIKIN VIKING just about sets the standard on form, and returning to a track where he scored on debut in June is a big plus. Big Mojo arrives after a taking success in the Molecomb, but he must now prove himself over 6f. Andesite makes his long awaited return after scoring on debut over C&D in May. Runner-up to a subsequent Group 1 winner at the Curragh last month, Camille Pissarro should be thereabouts, along with the unbeaten Shadow Of Light.
THE STRIKIN VIKING has arguably shaped best in a couple of Group 2s since his impressive debut success over this C&D so remains one to keep on the right side of. Big Mojo looks another classy sprinter for connections having defied inexperience in the Molecomb and rates the main threat ahead of the exciting Shadow of Light.
The suggestion is promising colt ANDESITE, ahead of solid The Strikin Viking in an open-looking Gimcrack.

1st (1)  (10/3 +39%)Bradsell |
10/3(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bradsell 10/3, Very smart performance when a taking winner of the King's Stand Stakes at the Royal meeting in 2023. Prominent in the betting when third in this next start and warmed up for this with a ready winner down in listed company on reappearance 19 days ago. Low-mileage 4-y-o should be in the mix. Impressed when dropped to 5f for Group 1 win at Royal Ascot 2023; good 3rd in this after. |
|||
2nd (11)  (8/1 +0%)Believing |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Believing 8/1, Twice fourth in Group 1s at Royal Ascot (to Asfoora first occasion) before resuming winning ways with her sights lowered slightly at the Curragh last month. Carried a penalty so lost very little in defeat when a keeping-on third behind the big 2 at Goodwood and no reason why she won't go well. Game and tough; suffered interference when fast-finishing 3rd at Goodwood; thereabouts. |
|||
3rd (8)  (14/1 +30%)Starlust |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Starlust 14/1, Three-time winner over 6f at 2 yrs and progressed into a smart sprinter this year, justifying support in fine style over C&D (listed) last month. Behind several of these in the King George Stakes at Goodwood and this no easy race to bounce back in, for all this track will be more suitable. Shaping well as a 5f sprinter, close 3rd to Big Evs in US as 2yo; excuse latest. |
|||
4th (9)  (9/1 -452%)Asfoora |
9/1(-452%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Asfoora 9/1, Very smart sprinter and multiple Group winner from Australia who, sharper for a run in the Temple, proved better than ever when winning Group 1 King Charles at Royal Ascot, with Regional, Big Evs and Believing directly behind. Emerged with lots of credit at Goodwood and now pick of the weights. Group 1 winner over 5f at Ascot; close 2nd to Big Evs under a penalty (none today) since. |
|||
5th (4)  (22/1 +45%)Ponntos |
22/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ponntos 22/1, Been around a while now but this front runner is an improved performer as a 6-y-o, readily completing a hat-trick in Chantilly Group 2 in June. Took off early and was unsurprisingly brushed aside in the King George Stakes at Goodwood last time. Czech Republic sprinter; multiple wins in Europe but faded after front-running at Goodwood. |
|||
6th (6)  (66/1 -230%)Washington Heights |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Washington Heights 66/1, Strong-travelling sort who was well-served by front-running ride when taking the Abernant Stakes on return (from Mill Stream) and acquitted himself with plenty of credit behind that rival in the Duke of York, both 6f. Disappointing how little he found off the bridle at Ascot and now back at 5f. Group 3 winner at 6f; strong traveller who might improve for this rare run at 5f. |
|||
7th (12)  (100/1 -257%)Makarova |
100/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Makarova 100/1, Had Live In The Dream behind her when back to winning ways in listed company at Sandown (5f, soft) last month. Shaped as if still in top form (short of room at crucial stage) when 2¼ lengths third of 9 to Believing at the Curragh but no reason to think she's much better than her current level. Creditable 4th in this race last year; behind a few of today's rivals since; tough task. |
|||
8th (7)  (100/1 -1233%)Big Evs |
100/1(-1233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Big Evs 100/1, Ended terrific 2-y-o campaign with a Group 1 Breeders' Cup success. Landed the odds without any fuss on C&D reappearance and since gone 1-1 with Asfoora at Royal Ascot and Goodwood (just held on). Flopped in this race last year and must now concede weight to that rival this time. More than a match for most 5f sprinters; suited by sharp 5f; rare off day here last year. |
|||
9th (10)  (100/1 -257%)Azure Blue |
100/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Azure Blue 100/1, Very hard to knock her strike rate and she showed a willing attitude for latest success (dead-heat) on first try over 5f in listed company in June. Big career-best effort came at this track last year but a huge personal best required at this level. Very smart form for Group 2 win over 6f here in May 2023; not as good since; trip query. |
|||
10th (14)  (100/1 -52%)Frost At Dawn |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Frost At Dawn 100/1, Huge career best when winning 15-runner Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint at Meydan in March. Seen to good effect that day and in nothing like the same form upped to 6f later that month. Tough task on balance of her form. Impressive winner of sole 5f start, in Group 2 at Meydan in March; lacks a recent run. |
|||
11th (13)  (125/1 +17%)So Majestic |
125/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) So Majestic 125/1, Useful filly in Ireland but on a losing sequence of 14 and that is most unlikely to change here. Usual hood left off. Up against it on her Listed and Group 2 form this year; lots to find. |
|||
12th (2)  (100/1 -150%)Clarendon House |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Clarendon House 100/1, Blotted his copybook in the Epsom Dash (virtually refused to race) but lot to like about his victories either side of that in hot C&D handicap and Cork listed contest. Failed to get it right at the stalls again back here and this is a tough assignment in first-time cheekpieces. Winner of big-field C&D handicap and Listed race this year; this looks a tall order. |

Already established as two of the world's fastest sprinters, ASFOORA and Big Evs are honours even from their Group-race clashes at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood and stand out as they as the gear up for round three of their personal battle. The margins will surely be tight if both run up to expectations but, armed with a 6lb turnaround after a short-head defeat in the King George Stakes, Asfoora shades the narrowest of votes over her arch enemy. Regional and Believing are no back numbers and can give the 'big two' a good run for the money. Whereas City Walls winner Starlust has only raced four times over the minimum distance and could be a surprise package. 2023 hero Live In The Dream appeals for a place this time.
As is often the case at the top of the sprinting division there's plenty of collateral form to go on. Having beaten several of these at Ascot, ASFOORA emerged with bundles of credit when a short-head second to Big Evs at Goodwood and on 6 lb better terms, she's poised to reverse the form. Believing also ties nicely in with that pair, while Bradsell may actually emerge as the chief threat.
Asfoora is likely to be finishing strongly but BRADSELL can improve on last year's third in this race and gets the vote.

1st (9)  (25/1 +24%)Canoodled |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Canoodled 25/1, Turned in her best effort of the season from a slipping mark when fifth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good, 9/1) 41 days ago. However, new trip asks a question and she's not one to be going overboard about anyway given her regular issues at the start. Kept on well for 2l fifth over 1m at Ascot and worth a go at this new trip. |
|||
2nd (8)  (20/1 -11%)Bint Al Daar |
20/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bint Al Daar 20/1, Resumed winning ways in 12-runner handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago, albeit seen to advantage with prominent tactics again adopted. 4 lb rise fair but looks vulnerable in a deeper race. Two wins this summer either side of her fine second over C&D; clearly thriving. |
|||
3rd (3)  (13/2 -18%)Al Anoud |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Al Anoud 13/2, Successful both starts at 3yrs and resumed her progress when opening her account for the season in likeable fashion back down in trip at Goodwood (9.9f) 23 days ago, albeit aided by a good position. Much respected from only 2 lb higher. Won in blanket finish at Glorious Goodwood; up just 2lb but could still have more to offer. |
|||
4th (13)  (33/1 +18%)Zenjabeela |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Zenjabeela 33/1, Dual winner last summer but has largely been disappointing this season despite faring better at Redcar last time and others make more appeal. Back to form with close 3rd of five at Redcar; goes up in trip; others are more compelling. |
|||
5th (1)  (40/1 -233%)Sound Angela |
40/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sound Angela 40/1, Useful mare who was placed 5 times at listed level last season but doesn't look especially well treated on this return to handicap company after 8 months off. Placed in Listed races on final three runs last year; absent since but goes well fresh. |
|||
6th (7)  (40/1 +0%)Mysterious Love |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mysterious Love 40/1, Useful maiden winner who shaped as if amiss when last of 11 in handicap at Newbury (13.3f, good to firm) 35 days ago, eased over 1f out. Back down in trip and best efforts have tended to come on softer ground. Has dropped down the weights but she has a modest strike-rate; fast ground is a concern. |
|||
7th (5)  (20/1 -25%)Ambiente Amigo |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ambiente Amigo 20/1, Won maiden/novice events on turf and AW for Michael Bell at 2 yrs and has acquitted herself well in a pair of Newmarket listed events on her last 2 outings but her mark has suffered as a result. Improved form in Listed races the last twice but not obviously well treated back in h'cap. |
|||
8th (16)  (50/1 -456%)Chorus |
50/1(-456%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Chorus 50/1, Made the most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in 8-runner novice at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 25 days ago, comfortably. Into handicaps now and more required. Off mark at fifth attempt at Windsor; makes h'cap debut; well bred and with a leading yard. |
|||
9th (14)  (40/1 -264%)Shemozzle |
40/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Shemozzle 40/1, Won sole start last season and got back on the up when landing 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) 10 days ago, dictating but still quite impressive. Carries a 6-lb penalty in a deeper race now but could have more to come. Easily made all at Lingfield last Tuesday; unexposed & could be well treated under penalty. |
|||
10th (10)  (50/1 -257%)Invisible Friend |
50/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Invisible Friend 50/1, Resumed progress in no uncertain terms after 9 months off when winning 16-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft, 18/1) in June, suited by strongly-run race and well on top finish. That form hasn't worked out too badly, but she has to contend with a number of unexposed 3-y-os here. 2l win in big-field C&D handicap on reappearance; unexposed; could have more left in tank. |
|||
11th (6)  (100/1 -900%)Reach |
100/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Reach 100/1, Strong traveller who had a bit in hand when winning this corresponding event 12 months ago and has returned better than ever, stepping up on her reappearance when an excellent third of 17 in a C&D handicap on most recent outing in June. Likely to make her presence felt again. Won this a shade cosily 12 months ago; good efforts over C&D on both outings this season. |
|||
12th (17)  (20/1 +29%)Dreamrocker |
20/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Dreamrocker 20/1, Showed improved form to resume winning ways in 11-runner handicap at Ascot (8f, good) in July, doing well under the circumstances given how long she had to wait for a clear run. Ran at least as well in defeat at Sandown since and remains of interest. In good heart this summer and the step up in trip could unlock further improvement. |
|||
13th (15)  (100/1 -900%)Battle Queen |
100/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Battle Queen 100/1, Displayed plenty of ability before opening her account in a Nottingham maiden (8.3f) in May. Shaped well when sixth in Sandringham handicap at Royal Ascot (second home in group) and was unlucky not to make more of a race of it with the winner at Newbury subsequently. Big chance up in trip. Kept on well for second over 1m at Newbury; further improvement is possible now up in trip. |
|||
14th (12)  (100/1 -100%)Moogie |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Moogie 100/1, Three-time winner on AW but proved herself fully effective on turf when doing best of the older fillies behind a 3-y-o handicap debutante at Ascot (10f) in May. Next run best excused but not at her best on her last 2 outings. Runner-up off this mark at Ascot in May but three lesser performances have followed. |
|||
15th (11)  (50/1 -900%)Power Of Destiny |
50/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Power Of Destiny 50/1, Confirmed promise of debut when winning at Haydock in June and much better form in defeat since, including when head second of 9 to Al Anoud in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Should have more to offer and has to be shortlisted. Pushed Al Anoud close on Glorious Goodwood handicap debut; in excellent hands to progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The 3yo BATTLE QUEEN has run fine races in defeat over 1m the last twice and is open to further improvement now she's up in trip.

18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Arabian Angel 18/1, 3/1, shaped well when second of 13 to Diablo Rojo in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on debut 23 days ago. Should have more to offer for his powerful stable. Ran well despite failing favourite backers at Redcar and he is bred for this longer trip. |
|||
(10)  (200/1 +0%)Hurricane Bea |
200/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hurricane Bea 200/1, 40/1, last of 9 on 6f Redcar debut in June. Big outsider. Always behind when last of nine runners in a 6f novice at Redcar (good to firm). |
|||
1st (1)  (9/4 +36%)Angelo Buonarroti |
9/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Angelo Buonarroti 9/4, €1,000,000 breeze-up purchase. Faced a demanding task on debut but acquitted himself well when 2¾ lengths ninth of 22 in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Has since switched yards and big shout dropped in class. Not disgraced for a debutant when beaten 3l into ninth of 22 in the Coventry. |
|||
2nd (14)  (22/1 -83%)Shah |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Shah 22/1, Purchased for 100,000 gns earlier in the year and made an encouraging start to his career when second of 6 over 7f at Leicester 12 days ago, staying on. Open to progress. Second at Leicester and the two he divided were well-bred newcomers from top yards. |
|||
3rd (12)  (13/2 +0%)Realign |
13/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Realign 13/2, €550,000 breeze-up buy who made a promising start to his career when second over 6f at Newmarket (good) 3 weeks ago. Will improve. Lots to like about Newmarket debut when inexperience was evident; likely improver. |
|||
4th (4)  (80/1 -142%)Bowen Island |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bowen Island 80/1, Fairly useful form when reaching the frame over 6f at Newcastle (AW) and Haydock (firm) in his 2 starts. More will be needed now tackling 7f for the first time. Has produced figures that make him one of the stronger form contenders here. |
|||
5th (20)  (100/1 -1900%)Whirl |
100/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (20) Whirl 100/1, 11/1, fourth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 33 days ago. Can be expected to improve for a top stable which won this race last year. 4th in a good Curragh maiden; scopey filly with better days ahead virtually guaranteed. |
|||
6th (17)  (66/1 -1000%)Ultrasoul |
66/1(-1000%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Ultrasoul 66/1, Promising individual. 8/1, second of 11 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good) on debut 50 days ago, finishing strongly. That form boosted. Should improve now stepping up to 7f. High on the shortlist. Second to Gimcrack contender Shadow Of Light on debut; this 7f is sure to suit. |
|||
7th (3)  (100/1 -733%)Bambalam |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bambalam 100/1, Foaled May 4. 600,000 gns breeze-up purchase by Persian King. Half-brother to useful French 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Ritournelle. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. The stable has sent out a couple of promising first-time-out winners recently and a market move for this one would look significant. Made 80,000euros as a foal but 600,000gns at the Craven breeze-ups this April. |
|||
8th (18)  (66/1 -560%)White Chapel Road |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) White Chapel Road 66/1, Has shown promise when reaching frame twice in 6f maidens in recent months, shaping as if ready for 6f when fourth at Goodwood latterly. Likely has bigger performances in him. Two good runs and gives the impression that today's extra 1f will bring him on some more. |
|||
9th (16)  (100/1 -733%)Spirit Of Summer |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Spirit Of Summer 100/1, 11/1, 5 lengths second of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 14 days ago, clear of rest. Should have more to offer. No match for the winner at Newmarket but showed promise and can improve. |
|||
10th (11)  (150/1 -20%)Lever Up |
150/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Lever Up 150/1, Foaled January 31. Ulysses gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Existent out of winning half-sister to Sun Chariot/Falmouth Stakes winner Integral. One of 2 newcomers from the stable. Likely outsider. First foal; dam unraced half-sister to Group-placed 5f-7f winner Existent; has been gelded. |
|||
11th (8)  (150/1 -127%)Goal Line |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Goal Line 150/1, 11/1, showed ability when third of 7 on 6f Ayr debut 13 days ago but not enough to suggest he's likely to play a prominent role in a warm maiden like this one. Third at Ayr but that form doesn't look anywhere near good enough. |
|||
12th (15)  (100/1 -100%)Sherlock |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Sherlock 100/1, 11/2 needed the experience when fifth of 6 in novice at Haydock (7f, good) on debut 34 days ago. Capable of better but a big chunk of improvement will be needed to go close. Green on Haydock debut and dropped out to beat only one home; opposable after that. |
|||
13th (9)  (80/1 -400%)High Season |
80/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) High Season 80/1, Promising type. Second of 9 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 12/1) on debut 9 days ago, clear of rest. Open to improvement for a stable which has tasted success in this race. Made a nice start at Beverley (winner odds-on) and bred to improve with his racing. |
|||
14th (13)  (100/1 -257%)Red Admiral |
100/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Red Admiral 100/1, Foaled March 23. €100,000 Dark Angel colt. Dam unraced half-sister to Desmond Stakes winner Alexios Komnenos from an excellent family. Worth a precautionary betting check but a very useful performance will be required to take this on debut, particularly from stall 19. 100,000euros yearling; out of an unraced half-sister to 1m Group 3 winner Alexios Komnenos. |
|||
15th (5)  (100/1 +0%)Draupnir |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Draupnir 100/1, Foaled May 24. 24,000 gns foal, Golden Horn colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 7f-1¼m winner Don't Give Up and winner up to 11f Welford. Dam 11f winner. Bred to have a future but best watched this time unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Bred to have a future but stable's newcomers are usually best watched. |
|||
16th (7)  (100/1 -52%)Frostmagic |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Frostmagic 100/1, Foaled March 19. Frosted colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 5f-7f winner Good Effort and 1m-1¼m winner Magical Mile. Will need to be good to take this on debut. Well related to plenty of winners and Jim Crowley has a positive record for the yard. |
|||
17th (6)  (100/1 -100%)Fajhan |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fajhan 100/1, Foaled January 26. 90,000 gns Kameko colt. Dam, 1m winner, closely related to smart winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Hot Snap and half-sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Midday. A watching brief is the percentage call on debut. 90,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 1m winner from an excellent Juddmonte family. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A line through Gimcrack contender Shadow Of Light can be made which gives ULTRASOUL a form edge over Realign (second choice).

(4)  (9/1 -100%)Midnight Gun |
9/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Midnight Gun 9/1, Progressive, winning Nottingham novice and Newmarket handicap (both 1m) for Ed Walker in May/June. Subsequently bought by Wathnan Racing and still looked ahead of a mark starting out for this yard when third at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Considered back down in trip. Close third at Glorious Goodwood on debut for new connections; open to further progress. |
|||
(6)  (12/1 -41%)Native Warrior |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Native Warrior 12/1, Shaped well both 2-y-o starts and wasn't far behind Notable Speech on return at Kempton in April. Successful in a Nottingham maiden next time and improved again taking on his elders for the first time when runner-up at Goodwood (9f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago. Stacks to like. Performed very well in handicaps at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood; solid claims. |
|||
1st (12)  (7/1 +42%)Treasure Time |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Treasure Time 7/1, Steadily progressive son of Time Test who opened his account at Newmarket (7f) in June and stepped up further up in class when runner-up back at that venue (1m) 3 weeks later. Much better than result when fifth at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) last time and clearly still one to be interested in. Ran creditably at Glorious Goodwood; in excellent hands and may do better still. |
|||
2nd (11)  (17/2 +58%)Volterra |
17/2(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Volterra 17/2, Looked firmly on the up when scoring on Rowley Course in May and came home first in his group when eleventh of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, firm). Proved to be a disappointment at Newmarket (8f, good) just under 6 weeks ago (did too much too soon) so certainly worth another chance. No apparent excuses last time and now has two duck eggs next to his name; opposed. |
|||
3rd (5)  (9/2 +31%)Mount Teide |
9/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mount Teide 9/2, Confirmed previous promise when opening account in a Chepstow novice (7f) in May and showed improved form trying 1m for the first time when easy winner of 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) just under a fortnight ago. 7 lb higher but looks one to keep on the right side of. Made all at Newmarket two weeks ago, proving suited by the step up to 1m; progressive. |
|||
4th (14)  (33/1 +18%)Apiarist |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Apiarist 33/1, Edged ahead late on in valuable sales' race at this track (7f, heavy) on final start at 2 yrs and performed creditably whilst looking no more than averagely treated in handicaps on each of his last 3 starts. Plenty more needed in this. Won valuable prize here last autumn; consistent efforts since handicapping. |
|||
5th (17)  (100/1 -300%)Zain Blue |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Zain Blue 100/1, Made a promising start in handicaps when runner-up at Ascot in May and belatedly built on that when opening his account back there (8f, good) last month. Went a long way to confirming that improvement when third behind Mount Teide at Newmarket recently and holds each-way claims again. Off the mark at Ascot in July; unable to follow up off this mark at Newmarket since. |
|||
6th (18)  (100/1 -150%)Madame De Sevigne |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Madame De Sevigne 100/1, Night of Thunder filly who showed improved form to get off the mark with something to spare at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month, racing much more kindly in the finish on a flatter track. This a much harder race, but she can continue to progress. Opened her account in Class 4 event at Leicester last month; this is a harder task. |
|||
7th (10)  (100/1 -1011%)Paborus |
100/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Paborus 100/1, Doubled his tally in 11-runner novice at Carlisle (6.9f, good to firm) back in May and with this step up in trip sure to suit, this highly progressive sort could well have a big say now handicapping provided he's ready to roll. Very progressive in 7f novice events in the north; the type to do well in handicaps. |
|||
8th (16)  (80/1 -344%)Tokenomics |
80/1(-344%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Tokenomics 80/1, Improved to get off the mark with a bit to spare in 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (7f) last month before following up in similarly smooth fashion at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft) just over 4 weeks ago. Respected making his first start on the shores. Irish challenger; record of 311 since handicapping; may improve further; not ruled out. |
|||
9th (1)  (80/1 -186%)Golden Mind |
80/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Golden Mind 80/1, Half-brother to Perfect Power who won the Norfolk/Commonwealth Cup and progressed from run-to-run last year, last seen when 1¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Haatem in Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) 12 months ago. Presumably been hard to get to the track and now sent handicapping. Has earned top weight judged on his progressive 2yo form; absent for over a year. |
|||
10th (13)  (100/1 -355%)Usuario Amigo |
100/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Usuario Amigo 100/1, Proved disappointing on handicap debut at Lingfield in June but having been gelded, got right back on track after 2 months off when runner-up at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago. Visor applied and the likelihood is he'll find a few too strong. Ran well last time but he's the only maiden in this better contest; headgear applied. |
|||
11th (3)  (66/1 -843%)Dosman |
66/1(-843%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dosman 66/1, Confirmed debut promise after 8 months off when landing 13-runner novice at Kempton (7f) on reappearance in June and improved again when finding a couple of newcomers too strong at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) later that month. Off since but looks a potential improver now handicapping. Improving colt; latest effort has bags of substance; highly interesting on handicap debut. |

12th (15)  (100/1 -52%)Sailthisshipalone |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Sailthisshipalone 100/1, Is developing a decent course record here but just creditable efforts when mid-field at Thirsk/Windsor this month. Hard to see him getting involved in something this competitive. Best efforts at York but he is more exposed than many of these opponents. |

13th (19)  (80/1 -21%)Candonomore |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Candonomore 80/1, Showed promise all 3 starts at 2yrs and made a winning return in good style in 1m Haydock maiden. Yet to be seen to truly best effect in handicaps since but looks no more than averagely treated in any case. Form of his maiden win hasn't worked out well; struggled in handicaps since. |

14th (2)  (100/1 -100%)Indian Run |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Indian Run 100/1, Won the Group 3 Acomb here 12 months ago and back on track following a wind op when 6¾ lengths eleventh of 19 to Haatem in Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. However, he ran poorly on handicap debut 6 weeks later at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) and now first-time cheekpieces go on. Won Group 3 Acomb here last year; has failed to repeat the form; headgear enlisted. |

15th (9)  (50/1 -317%)Ebt's Guard |
50/1(-317%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ebt's Guard 50/1, Consistent type who deservedly opened his account when landing the odds in 1m Thirsk maiden in June. Enhanced his form further returned to handicaps since, never-nearer second at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Nudged up 4 lb for that near miss. Consistent sort who looked unlucky at Glorious Goodwood most recently; possibilities. |

16th (8)  (50/1 -317%)Crown Estate |
50/1(-317%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Crown Estate 50/1, Got off the mark with plenty in hand on return at Newcastle in March and it has been a tale of gradual progression, doubling his tally fitted with cheekpieces in 6-runner handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) a couple of months ago. This tougher, but he could well have more in the locker. Both wins making all in small fields; steadily progressive but this scenario isn't ideal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Having not quite lasted home when collared late on over 1m2f at Goodwood earlier this month, MIDNIGHT GUN is likely to relish this drop in trip. Hamad Al Jehani's charge was denied a hat-trick by just half a length on that occasion and a 3lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear out of his reach. Golden Mind will have to defy top-weight to claim this prize but, having run well in the Vintage at Goodwood, he could be a Group horse in a handicap. Blue Prince warrants consideration despite being raised 4lb for his win over 7f at Goodwood last month.
A valuable 3-y-o contest littered with unexposed types and it's MIDNIGHT GUN who gets the nod to continue his upward trajectory having still looked some way ahead of hismark starting out for this trainer at Goodwood just over 3 weeks ago. Back down in trip, he can regain the winning thread at the expense of Volterra, who can have a line put through his latest effort. Native Warrior, Mount Teide and Ebt's Guard are just a handful of others to consider, too.
Being an improving colt whose latest form has been boosted, DOSMAN (nap) is particularly interesting. Midnight Gun is second choice.
Ths is the racecard key.
