---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (28/1 -27%) Caribean Boy |
28/1(-27%) | (2) Caribean Boy 28/1, Regained winning thread at Kempton (3m) in January 2022 but has a patchy record and ran no sort of race having undergone a breathing operation when pulled up over C&D in January. Has had another wind op since so arrives with plenty to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (11/1 -22%) Super Six |
11/1(-22%) | (9) Super Six 11/1, Dual bumper winner who was successful twice from 5 starts over hurdles last season and getting the hang of things over fences now, producing a career best when scoring at Haydock in February, jumping well and forging clear. A bad blunder halted him last time so he may well bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (8.5/1 +15%) Herbiers |
8.5/1(+15%) | (4) Herbiers 8.5/1, 5-time winner over hurdles, latest at Newbury (16.3f) in November. Chasing debut was a washout but left that effort behind when going close over 2¼m at Kempton then duly went one better back at Newbury (19.8f, good) early last month. Could be more to come. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (12/1 -33%) Deyrann De Carjac |
12/1(-33%) | (12) Deyrann De Carjac 12/1, Smart novice chaser in 2019/20. Seemingly not the force of old but handicap mark reflects that and has now failed to reach the frame on all 6 tries in course handicaps at around this trip. Tough to win with so easy to look elsewhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (18/1 -13%) Presentandcounting |
18/1(-13%) | (7) Presentandcounting 18/1, Prolific over fences in 2021/22 campaign, winning 5 times in novice company. 4-time winner over timber last year, latest in 12-runner handicap at Worcester (20f) in September but only third when sent off favourite in Grade 2 Persian War when last seen 6 months ago. Tough to know what to expect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (9/1 +10%) Coole Cody |
9/1(+10%) | (3) Coole Cody 9/1, Tremendous servant to connections (3-time C&D winner) who won a match event in Ascot Grade 2 in November. Gave it a decent go bidding to win the Plate for a second successive year at the Festival last month and he could be involved from a sliding mark (well-beaten third in this last year). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (40/1 -60%) Cilaos Emery |
40/1(-60%) | (1) Cilaos Emery 40/1, Smart chaser at best for Willie Mullins but didn't show much in hurdle event at Auteuil on yard debut after 14 months off. Went with far more zest back over fences without getting home under a positive ride at Kelso (26.2f, soft) last month and a tongue tie is now applied. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (6) (2.5/1 +9%) Heltenham |
2.5/1(+9%) | (6) Heltenham 2.5/1, Ex-French bumper winner who has improved with each of his 5 runs over fences, having plenty up his sleeve when completing the hat-trick in a better class of handicap at Newbury (19.8f, soft) 25 days ago. Not yet finished progressing, so one to keep firmly onside. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (10) (5/1 +33%) Captain Tom Cat |
5/1(+33%) | (10) Captain Tom Cat 5/1, Developed into a pretty smart chaser in 2021/22, successful 4 times around this trip, including a Grade 2 at Wincanton. This season has been a bit of a write-off but stopped the slide from a much-reduced mark when runner-up at Plumpton (19.8f, soft) 9 days ago. Needs keeping an eye on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|DQ| (5) (7/1 -17%) Gemirande |
7/1(-17%) | (5) Gemirande 7/1, Ex-French recruit who is on the up for his current yard, doubling chase tally at Wetherby (2½m) in February and big effort when second in Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury just under 7 weeks ago, just failing. Unlikely he's reached his limit just yet. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (7.5/1 +25%) Unanswered Prayers |
7.5/1(+25%) | (8) Unanswered Prayers 7.5/1, Had point experience and put that to good use on first start over fences when scoring over C&D in November. Disappointed at Newbury next time and unable to capitalise on the favourite's exit when fitted with cheekpieces in 3-runner event back there since (bled). Bit to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (22/1 -10%) Zhiguli |
22/1(-10%) | (11) Zhiguli 22/1, Bettered low-key reappearance effort (reportedly bled) with respectable efforts at Kempton/Sandown before resuming winning ways at latter track last month, jumping well out in front. Shaped as if still in good form when a well-beaten third to Heltenham at Newbury since but more needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
It is difficult to predict which horse will do well without more information, as each has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, based on recent form and progression, Heltenham and Gemirande may be worth keeping an eye on. Coole Cody is also a strong contender, having won at this track before and performed well in recent races.
The pick is GEMIRANDE, who ran a big race in defeat behind a revitalised opponent at Newbury last month and is on an upward curve.

Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 7f), closely related to winner up to 1m Captain Joy and winner up to 1½m Chestnut Honey (both smart). Yard's newcomers usually better for a run. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (8) (3.6/1 +49%) Taygar |
3.6/1(+49%) | (8) Taygar 3.6/1, Foaled February 26. €30,000 yearling, Churchill filly. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Another worth a check in the betting for clues ahead of debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (6/1 -20%) Scoops Ahoy |
6/1(-20%) | (6) Scoops Ahoy 6/1, Foaled March 20. €17,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle colt. Dam unraced sister to useful/temperamental 6f winner Al Qahwa. Another newcomer to note. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (3.5/1 -56%) Chumbaa |
3.5/1(-56%) | (10) Chumbaa 3.5/1, Foaled April 28. Belardo filly. 10/1, showed a bit when third of 9 in novice event at Southwell (5f) on debut 10 days ago. Entitled to have derived a good deal from that and no surprise to see her improve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/1 +17%) Northern Prince |
10/1(+17%) | (3) Northern Prince 10/1, Foaled April 5. £36,000 yearling, Ardad colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Canaria Prince. Dam 5f-6f winner. Speedily bred sort but possible he'll come on for this run. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (10/1 +29%) Celestial Flight |
10/1(+29%) | (4) Celestial Flight 10/1, Foaled March 25. £3,000 yearling, Harry Angel gelding. Half-brother to 5f/6f winner Cityman and 2-y-o 7f winner Ababol. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 7.5f/1m winner Riverse Angle. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (7.5/1 -67%) Classy Clarets |
7.5/1(-67%) | (1) Classy Clarets 7.5/1, Foaled January 27. £35,000 yearling, Cotai Glory colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Bolt of Thunder. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f The Gold Cheongsam. Makes appeal on paper for good yard and interesting what the market makes of him on debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (4.5/1 +31%) Macedonian King |
4.5/1(+31%) | (2) Macedonian King 4.5/1, Foaled March 10. €24,000 yearling, Unfortunately colt. Half-brother to 8.6f winner Boulivar. Dam of little account, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5.5f/6.5f winner Ascot Glory. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (40/1 -21%) Chicabiddy |
40/1(-21%) | (9) Chicabiddy 40/1, Foaled May 25. 1,500 gns yearling, Cable Bay filly. Dam, French maiden (stayed 10.7f) out of useful 1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Peacoat. Probably best watched on debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (20/1 -25%) Major Kessaar |
20/1(-25%) | (5) Major Kessaar 20/1, Foaled March 22. £11,000 yearling, Kessaar gelding. Closely related to 2-y-o 5f winner Reversion and half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Eternal Desire. Betting should prove a useful guide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It is difficult to predict which horse will do well as there is limited information provided in the summary. However, Classy Clarets, who comes from a good yard and has a decent pedigree, could be worth watching in the market. Similarly, Major Kessaar, who is closely related to past winners, may also be worth monitoring in the betting.
Chumbaa has the benefit of experience but it's not a daunting standard that she sets. TAYGAR may prove the pick of the newcomers.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (11) (9/1 +44%) Surely Not |
9/1(+44%) | (11) Surely Not 9/1, Dual winner last season and shaped better than the bare result when fifth in a nursery at York 6 months ago. Gelded and likely to be tuned up for this return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (7.5/1 +17%) Connemara Coast |
7.5/1(+17%) | (9) Connemara Coast 7.5/1, Well-bred gelding who was off the mark at the second attempt at Wolverhampton in October and wasn't seen to best effect under a penalty at Lingfield 25 days ago. Remains with potential. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/1 -10%) Gulmarg |
11/1(-10%) | (3) Gulmarg 11/1, Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 4/1) 21 days ago. Consistent sort who should go well again, but others are open to more improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (18/1 -80%) Lion Kingdom |
18/1(-80%) | (2) Lion Kingdom 18/1, Boasts a progressive profile and had something to spare when off the mark at Wolverhampton 7 months ago. Further improvement expected, and he's likely to feature if he takes to the track. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7/1 -8%) Supreme King |
7/1(-8%) | (6) Supreme King 7/1, Fairly useful form as a juvenile and made a pleasing return when runner-up at Nottingham, pulling clear of the remainder. That form is backed up by the time and another solid showing seems assured. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (18/1 -100%) Burdett Road |
18/1(-100%) | (5) Burdett Road 18/1, Promising individual. 13/8, career best when winning 5-runner maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) 43 days ago, readily. Open to further improvement and makes appeal on handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (12/1 +14%) Bussento |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Bussento 12/1, Best effort when second of 15 in novice event at Newbury on final juvenile outing. Not disgraced when only third at Wolverhampton on reappearance and should be better for the run. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (3.5/1 +46%) Elwasme |
3.5/1(+46%) | (13) Elwasme 3.5/1, Showed a fair level of form on each of his three runs last season and his pedigree suggests he should make a better 3yo, so can't be ruled out. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (18/1 +10%) Seductive Power |
18/1(+10%) | (7) Seductive Power 18/1, Fairly useful performer who has scope and has run well on the AW the last twice. Likely to give another good account, but others are less exposed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (10/1 +17%) Gentle Whinny |
10/1(+17%) | (12) Gentle Whinny 10/1, Confirmed previous encouragement when scoring in a novice at Windsor 6 months ago and there's more to come now handicapping, so not a forlorn hope. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (16/1 -33%) Playupskyblues |
16/1(-33%) | (14) Playupskyblues 16/1, Opened his account at the third attempt in novice at Redcar 6 months ago. Handicapper hasn't been all that lenient with opening mark but there could be more to come. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (10/1 +9%) Dionysian |
10/1(+9%) | (1) Dionysian 10/1, Left debut form well behind when scoring at Kempton in October and had little trouble following up under a penalty there in December. Likely to improve again now handicapping and must be respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (16/1 +20%) Cobalt Blue |
16/1(+20%) | (8) Cobalt Blue 16/1, Fair maiden who had the run of the race when second to Lion Kingdom in a novice at Wolverhampton 7 months ago. Gelded and may well do better this season. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (15) (25/1 -108%) Dream Pirate |
25/1(-108%) | (15) Dream Pirate 25/1, Has improved with each run to date and didn't have a hard race when sixth in a Lingfield novice 25 days ago. Open to improvement on handicap bow. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (10) (25/1 -56%) Almarin |
25/1(-56%) | (10) Almarin 25/1, Lightly raced and got off the mark in a novice at Yarmouth 6 months ago. Lacks the potential of some of these rivals, though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Burdett Road seems to be a promising individual with a career-best win in a maiden at Lingfield and is open to further improvement.
It looks as if almost any of these 3yos are ruled out at your peril. PLAYUPSKYBLUES is preferred to Dionysian and Supreme King.

1st (11) (33/1 -50%) Willaston |
33/1(-50%) | (11) Willaston 33/1, Placed twice in Ireland this summer off the mark for new yard in 2½m Hexham handicap in September. Solid efforts the last twice (chasing on penultimate occasion) and can't be dismissed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4.5/1 +25%) Bold Endeavour |
4.5/1(+25%) | (1) Bold Endeavour 4.5/1, Point/bumper winner who quickly made up into a borderline useful novice hurdler last season. Already better over fences, winning twice during the winter, and solid return to hurdling when fifth in the Coral Cup here. Should go well again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/1 -57%) Lallygag |
11/1(-57%) | (3) Lallygag 11/1, Won maiden/novice events at Exeter on first 2 starts over hurdles and back to winning ways at Taunton in December. Bit disappointing in listed company at former course last time but may well bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (20/1 -43%) Supreme Gift |
20/1(-43%) | (7) Supreme Gift 20/1, Irish point winner. Placed in bumpers last season and has won first 3 completed starts over hurdles. Excusable run up in grade at Haydock last time and expected to get back on track now handicapping. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (5/1 +38%) Scarface |
5/1(+38%) | (6) Scarface 5/1, Showed fairly useful form over hurdles at the beginning of 2022 and returned to win a brace of novice events in the autumn. Has hit the frame the last twice and another solid showing is on the cards. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (7/1 +18%) Hystery Bere |
7/1(+18%) | (10) Hystery Bere 7/1, Shaped as if still in decent form when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sandown (19.8f, soft, 11/2) 43 days ago and a stiff test at this trip would play to his strengths. Respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (22/1 -38%) Loup De Maulde |
22/1(-38%) | (9) Loup De Maulde 22/1, Has progressed well for this stable reverted to hurdling, making it 4 wins in 6 starts when comfortably on top at Warwick in March. Much better than the result (travelled strongly) at Newbury last time and deserves respect back down in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (3.5/1 +13%) Master Chewy |
3.5/1(+13%) | (12) Master Chewy 3.5/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and has shown similar form over hurdles despite not yet winning. Out of his depth in the Ballymore here last time and more realistic claims in this company. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (9/1 -6%) Boombawn |
9/1(-6%) | (4) Boombawn 9/1, Largely progressive sort who landed the odds in a 3-runner listed contest at Kempton on return and has posted good seconds on two of his three outings since. Likely to be on the premises again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (14/1 -40%) Homme Public |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Homme Public 14/1, Has improved again this term, resuming winning ways at Huntingdon (15.8f) in January and having not been disgraced at Ascot next time, he quickly returned to his best when second at Bangor (19.5f) 3 weeks ago. Should give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (10/1 +29%) Yorksea |
10/1(+29%) | (8) Yorksea 10/1, Fair Flat winner in France who capitalised on the drop in grade in ready fashion at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Ran a stormer when fourth in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury subsequently but latest run at Kempton was disappointing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (25/1 -150%) Lady Adare |
25/1(-150%) | (5) Lady Adare 25/1, Made all in a bumper for Micky Hammond and completed straightforward tasks when winning first 3 starts over hurdles in 2021/22. Lost her unbeaten record with a bit of a whimper on her return at Taunton in January but right back on track when second at Wincanton a fortnight ago. Up in trip, now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (25/1 -25%) Galahad Threepwood |
25/1(-25%) | (13) Galahad Threepwood 25/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat for Mick Channon and has been going the right way over hurdles, opening his account at Doncaster in March. Fell heavily at Warwick last time so hopefully he's none the worse. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
It is difficult to definitively predict which horse will do well without additional information such as the type of race and the level of competition. However, Bold Endeavour seems to have a strong record and has already shown improvement over fences. They have also had a solid return to hurdling and are expected to perform well again. Homme Public and Loup De Maulde have also shown improvement and have been performing well in recent races. Ultimately, the outcome will depend on the specific race and competition.
The classy BOLD ENDEAVOUR could give weight and a beating to these rivals. He is two from four since joining Nicky Henderson and emerged with plenty of credit when fifth in the Coral Cup at the Festival here last month. Racing off a 1lb lower mark in a lesser race, he looks sure to mount a bold bid. The drying ground will suit Homme Public, who warrants respect lining up off the same rating as when runner-up at Bangor last time. Master Chewy is interesting back in a handicap after never threatening in the Ballymore.
BOLD ENDEAVOUR is well treated based on his chasing efforts this season and he arrives on the back of a creditable effort in the Coral Cup, so he might be the answer to this competitive event. Homme Public and Scarface should both go well again also.
There is more to come from LADY ADARE, who was a very promising novice last season and bumped into a resurgent rival a fortnight ago.

Closely related to 5f winner Electric Love and half-brother to 2 winners, including 2-y-o 7f winner My Maharani. 28/1, bright start in the Brocklesby at Doncaster under this rider, taking third late on. More to come and could be the way to go. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (7.5/1 +38%) Reve D'etoiles |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The Charlie Johnston-team has been in terrific form of late, as has stable jockey Joe Fanning, and LADY SHOWCASING could provide the pair with more success. A half-sister to the Listed-placed Union Court, she shouldn't be short of speed and is, perhaps crucially, drawn low. Charged Up outran his odds to finish a good third in the Brocklesby and must be feared. It's not often Newmarket handler Kevin Philippart De Foy sends one to Beverley so Reve D'etoiles has to be given more than a cursory glance.
CHARGED UP made a very encouraging start in the Brocklesby under this rider and can put that experience to good use with victory. Newcomers Lady Showcasing and Riverboat are both interesting and the betting will be informative.
The Brocklesby form of CHARGED UP and Indication Call may be confirmed. Lady Showcasing may prove best of the newcomers.

1st (7) (9/1 -20%) Orazio |
9/1(-20%) | (7) Orazio 9/1, Made up into a useful 2-y-o in 2021 and shaped as if retaining all his ability after 17 months off when sixth on handicap debut at Kempton (6f) in January (should sharpen up both physically and mentally with that under his belt). Remains with potential. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4/1 +11%) Probe |
4/1(+11%) | (5) Probe 4/1, Picked up out of Dermot Weld's yard for 62,000 gns and looked better than ever when scoring on all-weather debut at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 25 days ago, the combination of a hood and a first try sprinting suiting him well. That was impressive, so there could well be more to come back on turf. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (8/1 +11%) Chairmanoftheboard |
8/1(+11%) | (9) Chairmanoftheboard 8/1, Useful 6f winner at his best but he didn't prove the easiest to catch right last term and not for the first time shaped as if the run was needed when well behind Aleezdancer on return at Doncaster (6f, heavy) earlier this month. Likely to step up on that here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (14/1 -17%) Leap Abroad |
14/1(-17%) | (8) Leap Abroad 14/1, Opened his tally on the turf at Pontefract last April and followed up from an 8 lb higher mark a couple of months later on the July course (6f, good). Only 1 lb higher for this return but probably best watched given the length of absence (also gelded in interim). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7.5/1 +17%) Admiral D |
7.5/1(+17%) | (4) Admiral D 7.5/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs (on soft ground) in Ireland and, though yet to hit the target for present connections, he largely performed with credit last year. Failed to land a blow on final 2022 outing in Coral Sprint Trophy at York but folly to discount on return under these conditions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 +27%) Aleezdancer |
4/1(+27%) | (3) Aleezdancer 4/1, Consistent sort who having been gambled on, returned with a career-best effort after 6 months off to land a big-field handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy, 9/2) earlier this month, taking his record on soft/heavy from 4-4. Up 7 lb but dangerous to discount with conditions forecast to suit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (7.5/1 -15%) Above |
7.5/1(-15%) | (10) Above 7.5/1, Hit the crossbar a few times last season and should be sharper for his return fifth at Chelmsford (7f) last month. One to watch in the market. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (20/1 -11%) Equiano Springs |
20/1(-11%) | (11) Equiano Springs 20/1, Good record here (4-4 over C&D) and ended last season with a respectable sixth at Newcastle (6f) in October. Has looked a shade rusty reappearing in recent years so percentage call is to look elsewhere despite his great course record. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (18/1 +10%) The Green Man |
18/1(+10%) | (12) The Green Man 18/1, Opened his account for the year at Kempton in March and similar form when finishing sixth at Lingfield (6f, AW) 12 days ago, nearest finish. More needed back on turf. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (25/1 -39%) Mr Wagyu |
25/1(-39%) | (1) Mr Wagyu 25/1, Admirable sprinter who enjoyed another fine yet busy campaign last season, landing big pots at Epsom and the Curragh. Ended with a couple of below-par efforts though, and every chance he will need this returning from 6 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (7/1 +13%) Aphelios |
7/1(+13%) | (6) Aphelios 7/1, Gradually progressive last year (still yet to finish out of the first 3), notching his third success at Kempton in October. Should continue to go the right way and one to look out for after 5 months off back on turf for shrewd connections. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A progressive sort throughout last season, a chance is taken with APHELIOS on his return, having not been outside the first three in 12 career starts. The son of Kodiak has run well fresh before and he gets the vote ahead of Aleezdancer, who was impressive at Doncaster last time, as well as first-time gelding Leap Abroad. The veteran Mr Wagyu can never be ruled out in a contest of this nature.
Having been given plenty of time since being picked up out of Dermot Weld's yard, PROBE was well suited by a switch to sprinting when scoring impressively at Wolverhampton last month and with better still to come back on turf, he's fancied to make light of a 6 lb rise in the weights and follow up. Orazio shaped as if retaining all ability on his belated handicap debut in January so he may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Aleezdancer and Admiral D.
Aleezdancer is a smart sprinter in the making on slow ground but PROBE (nap) created a striking impression on his stable debut.

1st (20) (14/1 +0%) Madera Mist |
14/1(+0%) | (20) Madera Mist 14/1, Ended last season with a win here but well beaten on all 4 outings this time round. Did run better than previously this term when 25 lengths fourth of 7 at Lingfield last time but a good bit more will be needed here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (12/1 +25%) Young Bull |
12/1(+25%) | (8) Young Bull 12/1, Yet to add to his 3 hurdling wins (in 2019) in this sphere. Returned from 10 months off with a creditable third at Haydock in December but jumped poorly when a remote fourth over a marathon trip at Exeter since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/1 -25%) Tip Top Cat |
10/1(-25%) | (2) Tip Top Cat 10/1, Completed a hat-trick over hurdles last winter and left previous chasing form behind when scoring at Uttoxeter (3¼m) in January. Struggled for pace over 3m on quickish ground at Newbury since but there's nothing wrong with the Uttoxeter form and he's much respected now stepping back up in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (15) (11/1 -10%) Blame The Game |
11/1(-10%) | (15) Blame The Game 11/1, Three handicap chase wins this season. Also went close at Plumpton in January and shaped as if still in form back there since (third when unseated last). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -79%) Innisfree Lad |
25/1(-79%) | (3) Innisfree Lad 25/1, Third in last year's Eider and back to form from much-reduced mark when landing weak conditional jockeys' veterans' handicap at Hereford in February. Respectable efforts since but might prove vulnerable in this more competitive scenario. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/1 -10%) Copperhead |
11/1(-10%) | (4) Copperhead 11/1, Grade 2 novice chase winner in early-2020. His career has been rather disappointing since, giving no indication he's in good enough form to take advantage of his falling mark when remote fifth at Exeter last month. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (18/1 -13%) Gwencily Berbas |
18/1(-13%) | (12) Gwencily Berbas 18/1, Isn't the force of old but proved up to taking advantage of a falling mark in the Devon National at Exeter in February. Respectable third on both starts since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (9/1 -13%) Wake Up Early |
9/1(-13%) | (11) Wake Up Early 9/1, Bright start for this yard last spring, winning twice, and back on the up when scoring at Sedgefield (27f) last month, outbattling the runner up. First-time visor replaces regular cheekpieces now. Likely to remain very competitive after a 2 lb nudge. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (9/1 +25%) Almazhar Garde |
9/1(+25%) | (1) Almazhar Garde 9/1, Stepped up on previous efforts this term when fourth in 25f Hereford handicap in January and confirmed he's back in better form when second in Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown since. His sometimes iffy jumping is a bit of a worry in a big-field race around here, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (18) (16/1 -14%) To Be Sure |
16/1(-14%) | (18) To Be Sure 16/1, Back to form a little out of the blue when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Ffos Las (3m, soft) 10 days ago. Shouldered with a 7 lb penalty in a much stronger race now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (16) (22/1 -10%) Bermeo |
22/1(-10%) | (16) Bermeo 22/1, Made a winning start for the Harry Fry stable at Newbury (3m, good) last season but he hasn't gone on from that, his latest Warwick fifth his first completion since. Cheekpieces off, blinkers back on. Others are more obvious. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (25/1 -14%) Potters Legend |
25/1(-14%) | (5) Potters Legend 25/1, Not the force of old. Has made the frame 3 times this season but he was in the process of running below form when falling 4 out at Newbury last time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (9/1 +10%) Valleres |
9/1(+10%) | (9) Valleres 9/1, Irish point winner who was having only his second outing for this stable when coming good over fences in 3m Ffos Las handicap (heavy) 28 days ago. Could play a part if his stamina holds now moving up in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (7) (11/1 +45%) Max Dynamo |
11/1(+45%) | (7) Max Dynamo 11/1, Veteran with a good strike rate over fences, easily bagging a 3¼m handicap at Chepstow on his reappearance in February. Faced stiff task from out of handicap and ran well for long way in Midlands National since, suggesting he's still very much in form. One to consider back off proper mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (8.5/1 -6%) No Cruise Yet |
8.5/1(-6%) | (14) No Cruise Yet 8.5/1, Really likeable staying chaser who dug deep to win over this trip at Haydock in November. Good placed efforts in North Wales National at Bangor and Eider at Newcastle on next 2 starts and the type to bounce back from a rare poor run last time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (19) (12/1 +33%) Bretney |
12/1(+33%) | (19) Bretney 12/1, Showed benefit of reappearance when scoring at Hereford in November and took his form up a notch tackling a marathon trip for the first time/sporting first-time blinkers when beating No Cruise Yet to win North Wales National at Bangor in February. The headgear didn't work at Carlisle since, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (20/1 -100%) Checkitout |
20/1(-100%) | (10) Checkitout 20/1, Scored over this trip at Fontwell at the beginning of 2022. Below that level since but placed efforts the last twice show he's back down to a mark he can be competitive from. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (28/1 -40%) Didero Vallis |
28/1(-40%) | (13) Didero Vallis 28/1, Useful chaser at his best. Creditable third on his first 2 completed starts this term but has lost his way since, pulling up in the Kim Muir here last month. Starting to look well handicapped but he has too much to prove at present. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (17) (33/1 -18%) Ballinslea Bridge |
33/1(-18%) | (17) Ballinslea Bridge 33/1, Snapped a long losing run at Market Rasen (3m, soft) in December. Creditable second at Wincanton (25f) last month and going well when falling 5 out at Haydock since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (33/1 +0%) Coup De Pinceau |
33/1(+0%) | (6) Coup De Pinceau 33/1, Winner of a 4m course hunter last April. Fared about as well as could be expected in the face of a stiff task when seventh of 16 in cross-country chase at the Festival here last month. On a competitive mark back over regulation fences. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
WAKE UP EARLY gets a tentative vote in what looks a tricky puzzle for punters to solve. The nine-year-old hasn't done a great deal wrong since joining the shrewd Dr Richard Newland stable and was game in victory at Sedgefield most recently. A 2lb rise for that success is fair and with the addition of a first-time visor, he can play a leading role once more. The locally-trained Checkitout has been creeping down the ratings and merits consideration, while To Be Sure and Almazhar Garde are a couple of others to note.
TIP TOP CAT might have found 3m on quickish ground a bit sharp last time. There's nothing wrong with the form of his 3¼m Uttoxeter win prior to that and he's taken to bounce back now faced with an increased stamina test against largely more exposed opposition. Max Dynamo ran well for a long way from out of the weights in the Midlands National and heads the dangers along with last-time-out Sedgefield winner Wake Up Early and Sam England's No Cruise Yet.
Teenager POTTERS LEGEND has posted a couple of creditable efforts this season and has good record here earns him the vote.

1st (3) (7/1 +30%) Badri |
7/1(+30%) | (3) Badri 7/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Eighth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (6f) 9 days ago. Might have a fitness edge on some of these but the draw could have been kinder back on turf. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (17) (7/1 +30%) Ventura Flame |
7/1(+30%) | (17) Ventura Flame 7/1, C&D winner. More miss than hit last season but is on a good mark if bouncing back to form on her reappearance. One to note in the betting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (6/1 +14%) Dandy Dinmont |
6/1(+14%) | (12) Dandy Dinmont 6/1, Three wins from 10 runs last year, the latest at Newcastle in October. Returned with 2 good runner-up efforts at Newcastle last month. Just as good on turf. Big player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7.5/1 +25%) Good Earth |
7.5/1(+25%) | (4) Good Earth 7.5/1, Three wins from 19 runs last year. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) on reappearance 25 days ago. Might strip fitter now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (5/1 -25%) Count D'orsay |
5/1(-25%) | (15) Count D'orsay 5/1, Thirty six runs since last win in 2020. 20/1, shaped as if better for run when seventh of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 11 days ago, never nearer. Looks competitive on form for last year's winning yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (4.5/1 +55%) Nelson Gay |
4.5/1(+55%) | (9) Nelson Gay 4.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, first run since leaving Richard Hughes when respectable 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Badri in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 33 days ago. Claims if able to build on that now returning to turf. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (40/1 -21%) Jojo Rabbit |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Jojo Rabbit 40/1, Yard going quite well but he was well beaten in 2 AW outings last month. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (16) (80/1 -220%) Ernest Rutherford |
80/1(-220%) | (16) Ernest Rutherford 80/1, Lightly-raced winner in Ireland for Michael O'Callaghan. Held in 2 Cork handicaps last spring and not seen since. Tongue strap on first time on return for new stable. Watching brief is advised unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (16/1 -45%) Rambuso Creek |
16/1(-45%) | (7) Rambuso Creek 16/1, Winner at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) last June. Also good second at Pontefract (good to soft) in October. Off 177 days. Hasn't had that much racing as sprinters go. Not taken lightly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (18/1 -125%) Mr Beaufort |
18/1(-125%) | (14) Mr Beaufort 18/1, First run since leaving Tom Clover when ninth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (5f) on reappearance 19 days ago. Entitled to come on for the outing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (28/1 -75%) Night On Earth |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Night On Earth 28/1, Three wins from 20 runs last year. Not at best final 2 starts. Off 154 days. Others more persuasive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (10/1 +55%) The Thin Blue Line |
10/1(+55%) | (13) The Thin Blue Line 10/1, Three wins from 24 runs last year, the latest at Wolverhampton in December. Well held on both outings since, though. Been off for 94 days. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (40/1 -82%) Music Society |
40/1(-82%) | (5) Music Society 40/1, Won 9-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) under David Allan when last seen in October. Allan on stablemate Count d'Orsay this time and his draw probably isn't ideal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (14/1 -87%) Sound Reason |
14/1(-87%) | (8) Sound Reason 14/1, C&D winner. 8/1, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft) when last seen in October. Has had wind surgery ahead of this reappearance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (10) (25/1 +0%) King Of Tonga |
25/1(+0%) | (10) King Of Tonga 25/1, Four wins from 12 runs last year. 25/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f). Off 168 days. Drawn wide. Needs a couple of these to falter. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (1) (22/1 -22%) Strong Johnson |
22/1(-22%) | (1) Strong Johnson 22/1, Useful at best in Ireland for Denis Cullen. Last of 7 on Southwell yard debut in January but given time since and could fare better with his regular tongue tie back in place now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
It's been a while since COUNT D'ORSAY managed to get his head in front but having tumbled down the handicap, it might be worth giving him another chance. Tim Easterby's sprinter is berthed well in stall two and is likely to appreciate a strong gallop, so this race could be tailor-made for him if able to rediscover some of his earlier spark. Dandy Dinmont arrives on the back of two seconds at Newcastle and looks set to go well again, along with Night On Earth, who can play a leading role back on the turf. Others to note include Music Society, Mr Beaufort and King Of Tonga.
Nigel Tinkler's DANDY DINMONT arrives fit from 2 good efforts on Newcastle's tapeta last month. This 4-y-o is equally as effective on turf and can return to winning ways. Count d'Orsay is on a long losing run but he didn't fare too badly in a Musselburgh Class 2 on his recent reappearance and is feared most ahead of Nelson Gay, who made a solid start for the Michael Dods stable at Newcastle last month.
In good form on the AW, DANDY DINMONT returns to turf with solid claims. Nelson Gay may give him most to do.

1st (3) (7.5/1 +6%) Canberra Legend |
7.5/1(+6%) | (3) Canberra Legend 7.5/1, 350,000 gns Australia colt who was strong in the betting and showed why with a comfortable debut win at Newcastle (1m) in February. This a jump in class but there's definitely more to come. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (16/1 +0%) Kolsai |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Kolsai 16/1, Confirmed debut promise when landing the odds in a 7f course maiden last September. Represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination. Definitely more to come from him. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (25/1 -14%) Killybegs Warrior |
25/1(-14%) | (7) Killybegs Warrior 25/1, Dual winner over 7f on the July Course here last summer. Best effort when length third to the reopposing Bold Act in Chelmsford conditions race 18 days ago. Likely vulnerable to more progressive types. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (5.5/1 +45%) Regal Honour |
5.5/1(+45%) | (9) Regal Honour 5.5/1, Bred to be smart and built on an encouraging debut third when winning a 7f course novice in October. Buick sides with Bold Act but still no surprise to see this one in the thick of things. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (1.88/1 +32%) Bold Act |
1.88/1(+32%) | (2) Bold Act 1.88/1, Unbeaten in 4 starts since his July Course debut second, returning from 6 months off to see off 9 rivals in a 1m Chelmsford conditions race 18 days ago. Smart performer in the making for his top yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 +21%) Galactic Jack |
22/1(+21%) | (5) Galactic Jack 22/1, Stepped up on debut to win 9-runner maiden at Goodwood (1¼m, good) last September but well behind Blanchland in the Zetland here on final 2-y-o start. Others are preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (5/1 -82%) Intinso |
5/1(-82%) | (6) Intinso 5/1, Siyouni colt who landed short odds on his 1m Newcastle debut last autumn. The Gosden stable has won this 3 times since 2015, including with Golden Horn. Very interesting runner. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (3.33/1 +5%) Blanchland |
3.33/1(+5%) | (1) Blanchland 3.33/1, Better with each run at 2, culminating with length second to Flying Honours in 1¼m Zetland Stakes here in October. Potential for better again this year. Big player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (33/1 -32%) Captain Wierzba |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Captain Wierzba 33/1, Won a Ffos Las novice over an extended 7f last summer. Stepped up on that form when 9¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Auguste Rodin in Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy) on final start but he was never involved and will need more again to figure prominently here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Jane Chapple-Hyam had a couple of talented sorts in her ranks last season, and BLANCHLAND looks like one to get excited about among the classic generation. A highly encouraging second in the Zetland Stakes when last seen here in October, the son of Farhh is 5lb clear of his closest rival Bold Act on ratings and he can prove just why. An entry in both the Guineas and the Derby, Canberra Legend made quite the impression on his debut at Newcastle, and he must enter calculations, along with Intinso, whose connections have an excellent record in this race.
BLANCHLAND went close at pattern level here on his final 2-y-o start and might be the answer with further progress a distinct possibility. Godolphin pair Bold Act and Regal Honour head the dangers. The Gosden stable has a good recent record in this race so last autumn's Newcastle debut scorer Intinso is also worthy of respect, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.
Bold Act looks the Appleby first-string but the same stable's REGAL HONOUR could be a big improver over this longer trip.

1st (9) (4.5/1 +63%) The Friday Man |
4.5/1(+63%) | (9) The Friday Man 4.5/1, Improving hurdler who easily made it 3-4 in this sphere in 5-runner minor event hurdle at Navan (21.7f, good) in September. Ran to a similar level when second in 6-runner listed event at Limerick the following month and must enter calculations back from a break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (11/1 +56%) Twig |
11/1(+56%) | (10) Twig 11/1, Multiple point/chase winner who opened his account over hurdles at Kempton in November but finished well held in River Don at Doncaster next time. Back on scoreboard in 6-runner novice at Newbury latest but likely to struggle back up in grade now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3.5/1 +22%) Chasing Fire |
3.5/1(+22%) | (3) Chasing Fire 3.5/1, £170,000 buy after point win who looked a potential star when landing his sole bumper last term and made it 3-3 over hurdles in 6-runner novice at Sandown (2m) in February. Down the field in the Supreme but that form was franked at Aintree last week. Upped in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (2.5/1 +69%) Red Dirt Road |
2.5/1(+69%) | (6) Red Dirt Road 2.5/1, Successful on sole start in Irish points and easily made it 2 from 3 over hurdles in 6-runner handicap at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Will be suited by 2½m and should continue to progress. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (3.33/1 +26%) Pikar |
3.33/1(+26%) | (5) Pikar 3.33/1, Useful hurdler who resumed winning ways in a first-time tongue strap in 15-runner novice at Warwick (19f, good to soft) 54 days ago. That performance is backed up by the clock, so warrants respect. Has had a breathing op since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (33/1 +18%) Chancycourt |
33/1(+18%) | (11) Chancycourt 33/1, Third in an Irish point before shaping well when second in a Worcester bumper (heavy) on Rules debut. This is a tough starting point over hurdles though, especially having not been seen for 18 months. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (33/1 +18%) Blue Hop |
33/1(+18%) | (2) Blue Hop 33/1, Fair bumper winner for Tom George who made a successful start over hurdles after 13 months off in 12-runner maiden at Ayr (19.5f) in February. Open to improvement but this is much tougher. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (80/1 -100%) Final Encore |
80/1(-100%) | (12) Final Encore 80/1, Half-brother to smart hurdler Third Wind for these connections and left his debut form well behind when landing a Taunton bumper a year ago. Showed an aptitude for hurdling after 11 months off when second at that venue 48 days ago, but this requires a whole lot more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (11/1 +21%) Rock My Way |
11/1(+21%) | (1) Rock My Way 11/1, Winning Irish pointer who looked a useful prospect when runner-up on hurdling debut here (20.3f) on New Year's Day. Still looked green when going one place better in Grade 2 over same C&D but was pulled up in Albert Bartlett at the Festival on most recent outing. Needs to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
ROCK MY WAY may have been a disappointment in the Albert Bartlett when pulling up, but he had been in excellent form prior to that and a return to this distance could be just what the doctor ordered. His course form is a major plus and he might be able to see off the likes of easy Warwick winner Pikar and Red Dirt Road, who looked smart when scoring at Exeter. Completing the shortlist are the likes of The Carpenter, The Friday Man and Theatre Man.
THEATRE MAN had the run of the race when resuming winning ways at Kempton last month, but he's done nothing but improve since being sent over hurdles and seems sure to give another good account from the front, so he's an appealing candidate. The Carpenter impressed at Newbury and looks a big threat with further progress on the cards, while Pikar's Warwick win is backed up by the clock, so he must enter calculations as well.
Richard Bandey's THEATRE MAN displayed improvement when making all for a comfortable success at Kempton and could be hard to catch.

1st (2) (0.91/1 +34%) Vetiver |
0.91/1(+34%) | (2) Vetiver 0.91/1, Built on debut second when cosily winning 8-runner novice at this course (7.4f, good to soft) in September. Definitely more to come from her. Leading claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (10/1 -43%) Mount King |
10/1(-43%) | (5) Mount King 10/1, Best effort in 3 outings for Joseph O'Brien last year when second of 14 at the Curragh (1m, soft) in September. Unlikely to be far away if reproducing that level of form on yard debut after 6 months off (gelded). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6.5/1 -117%) Deferred |
6.5/1(-117%) | (1) Deferred 6.5/1, Fairly useful form last autumn. Disappointing when last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) on reappearance 41 days ago but no surprise were he to bounce back with a bang here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (2/1 +33%) Samagon |
2/1(+33%) | (3) Samagon 2/1, 9/2, fourth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 63 days ago, left poorly placed. Up in trip. Should progress. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (150/1 -200%) American Oak |
150/1(-200%) | (4) American Oak 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, last of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) 14 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (40/1 -150%) Dome Of Stars |
40/1(-150%) | (6) Dome Of Stars 40/1, 8/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (1m) on debut 19 days ago. Will need to leave that run well behind. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
VETIVER confirmed the promise of her debut Chepstow second when breaking her maiden at the second time of asking over an extended 7f at this track in September, and she can pick up where she left off on her return to the fray. The Andrew Balding-trained filly likely has plenty more in her locker. Samagon and Deferred rate her most serious dangers as they switch to turf, although Mount King showed ability when with Joseph O'Brien in Ireland.
There's surely more to come from VETIVER who is taken to follow up last autumn's course win. Deferred is better than he showed on his reappearance and can bounce back and provide the chief threat ahead of Mount King.
This may rest between Samagon, who showed promise on his debut on the AW, and course winner VETIVER. Preference is for the latter.

1st (11) (16/1 +52%) Mammas Girl |
16/1(+52%) | (11) Mammas Girl 16/1, Havana Grey filly who overcame greenness to make a winning debut in 10-runner novice over C&D in October, leading around 1f and quickening clear. Has a lot more on her plate at this level, but she's open to improvement nonetheless. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4.5/1 +0%) Fairy Cross |
4.5/1(+0%) | (5) Fairy Cross 4.5/1, Quickly developed into a useful performer at 2 yrs, landing the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood on her final outing. Failed to match that on her return at Meydan but still sets the standard on her juvenile form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (40/1 -21%) Secret Angel |
40/1(-21%) | (13) Secret Angel 40/1, Steadily progressive in 2022, gaining a third win in 7-runner listed race at Deauville (6f, good to soft) in October. More needed back up in grade but the step up to 7f is worth exploring. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (22/1 -38%) Karsavina |
22/1(-38%) | (9) Karsavina 22/1, Ulysses filly. Half-sister to smart 2-y-o 7f winner Positive. Made the perfect start to her career in a 13-runner novice over C&D in October, keeping on well to lead close home. Sure to progress and looks an interesting contender up in grade. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (18/1 +40%) Believing |
18/1(+40%) | (2) Believing 18/1, AW novice winner who improved when runner-up in Group 3 company at Kempton and Ayr (both 6f) in September. Similar form when third in listed event here on final outing but has a bit to prove back at 7f having failed to stay on her only previous attempt. Has had a breathing op since last seen. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (9/1 -38%) Girl Racer |
9/1(-38%) | (7) Girl Racer 9/1, No Nay Never filly who made an impressive winning debut in 10-runner novice event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago, quickening to lead final 1f. Sure to progress and not taken lightly up in grade. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (66/1 -32%) Sweet Harmony |
66/1(-32%) | (15) Sweet Harmony 66/1, Landed a 6f Yarmouth maiden in August but came up short in better company thereafter. Up against it on her seasonal return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (8.5/1 +29%) Queen Olly |
8.5/1(+29%) | (12) Queen Olly 8.5/1, Ready winner on debut at York and reached the frame at Group level on her next 2 outings. Met trouble when below form in the Oh So Sharp Stakes over C&D and bounced back to the pick of her form when second in a 6f listed event here on final outing. Has left David Loughnane. Should stay 7f. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (16/1 +20%) Frankness |
16/1(+20%) | (6) Frankness 16/1, Frankel filly who landed a pair of novice events at Chester prior to disappointing in Doncaster Group 2 (1m) on her final outing. Drops back in trip on her return and remains potentially useful. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (2/1 +0%) Coppice |
2/1(+0%) | (3) Coppice 2/1, Kingman filly. Sister to very smart 6f winner Calyx and created an excellent impression herself when making a winning debut in a 7f novice at Kempton in October, asserting final 50 yds. Exciting prospect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (18/1 -13%) Barefoot Angel |
18/1(-13%) | (1) Barefoot Angel 18/1, Showed much-improved form when coming from last to first in a well-run Group 3 at Ayr in September. Off the bridle a long way out when third in Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f) on final outing, so ought to benefit from this step up to 7f on return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (150/1 -88%) Lady Bullet |
150/1(-88%) | (10) Lady Bullet 150/1, Dual winner in 2022 and ran her best race in first-time cheekpieces when second in listed race at Deauville (6.5f) on her reappearance in March. However, was well held back up in grade there last time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (12/1 +14%) Inner Space |
12/1(+14%) | (8) Inner Space 12/1, Bred in the purple and looked a good prospect when making all in a 14-runner novice at Kempton (1m) on debut in November. That form is proving solid and she's sure to progress. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (14) (8.5/1 +39%) Small Oasis |
8.5/1(+39%) | (14) Small Oasis 8.5/1, Impressive winner of a Curragh maiden on second start and took another step forward when third in Oh So Sharp Stakes over C&D on her final run for Michael Grassick. Ran no sort of race in Newbury listed event when last seen but was possibly unsuited by conditions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (4) (50/1 +0%) Dubai Jemila |
50/1(+0%) | (4) Dubai Jemila 50/1, Expensive breeze-up acquisition who opened her account at the second time of asking in a novice at Ayr (7.2f) in August. Never landed a blow in the Rockfel Stakes over C&D next time though and faces another stiff task on her return. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Coppice made a pleasing start to her racing career when recording a comfortable success over this trip at Kempton in October. She is a full-sister to Group 2 winner Calyx and should not be underestimated, but FAIRY CROSS is narrowly preferred. A Group 3 winner over 7f at Goodwood last August, she has since finished a fair second over a mile at Meydan in February and may appreciate cutting back in trip. Girl Racer is stepping up in grade following an easy win at Wolverhampton on her racecourse bow last month, while Frankness also warrants a market check.
COPPICE didn't quite produce the jaw-dropping first display of her brother Calyx at Kempton in October, but she still created an excellent impression and is open to oodles of improvement, so is very much one to follow. Fairy Cross sets the standard on her Prestige win, while Karsavina and Girl Racer are others that slip into the 'could be anything' category.
Frankie Dettori has won this seven times and COPPICE is taken to provide him with Nell Gwyn win number eight.

1st (7) (4.5/1 +10%) Captain Cattistock |
4.5/1(+10%) | (7) Captain Cattistock 4.5/1, Ended last season on a high, bagging victories in Edinburgh National/over this C&D. Seen only 3 times during the current campaign, turning in another solid display when runner-up in first-named race on latest outing. Respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (18/1 -100%) Lord Du Mesnil |
18/1(-100%) | (1) Lord Du Mesnil 18/1, Patchy form during the last couple of seasons but he's smart when on-song and made an encouraging return when second to subsequent Coral Gold Cup winner Le Milos at Bangor in November. Back on track when runner-up at Carlisle last time and he merits consideration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (6.5/1 +68%) Risk And Roll |
6.5/1(+68%) | (12) Risk And Roll 6.5/1, Temperamental sort but not disgraced when sixth of 12 in 3m handicap chase at Uttoxeter in February. In refitted cheekpieces, ran as well as could be expected over hurdles when ninth in the Pertemps Final here last month. Others preferred returned to chasing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (40/1 -100%) Chambard |
40/1(-100%) | (3) Chambard 40/1, Ended last season in the form of his life, completing a hat-trick when landing the Kim Muir Chase over this C&D at the Festival. However, has struggled in a trio of starts this term. Cheekpieces now back on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (6.5/1 +24%) Hidden Heroics |
6.5/1(+24%) | (5) Hidden Heroics 6.5/1, Dual winner over hurdles who landed a pair of small-field handicaps at Exeter and this course (25.2f) on his first 2 starts over fences. After 3 months off, finished down the field at Ludlow last month, so needs to get back on track in first-time tongue tie. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (7.5/1 +6%) Java Point |
7.5/1(+6%) | (8) Java Point 7.5/1, Developed into a better chaser for current yard last season, winning 3 times. Good placed efforts first 2 outings this term and soon back to form when third of 6 at Ludlow in March. Can give his running again with cheekpieces on first time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (6.5/1 +24%) Jimmy The Digger |
6.5/1(+24%) | (10) Jimmy The Digger 6.5/1, Made a winning return when staying on strongly to land amateurs' handicap here (25f) back in October. Good efforts when in the frame next 2 starts and would have been placed but for a late blunder at Uttoxeter last time. Can resume winning ways. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (7.5/1 +6%) Percussion |
7.5/1(+6%) | (9) Percussion 7.5/1, Revitalised by cheekpieces/tongue strap last spring and good start to this season when placed in both the Grand Sefton and Becher Chase over the National fences at Aintree. Creditable third at Wetherby (21.3f) last time, so he can be thereabouts back up in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (8.5/1 +6%) Mister Malarky |
8.5/1(+6%) | (2) Mister Malarky 8.5/1, Bounced back to form tried in veterans' company when runner-up at Exeter in February, but failed to build on the promise of that run when only third of 5 in a similar event at Newton Abbot the following month. Capable if he's on a going day. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (8.5/1 +15%) Definite Plan |
8.5/1(+15%) | (4) Definite Plan 8.5/1, Made a winning handicap chase debut at this course (3m1f) in October last season. Went the wrong way from that effort on his next 4 outings, but after 4 months off bounced back when runner-up in veterans' event at Navan last month. Needs to build on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (9/1 +0%) Anightinlambourn |
9/1(+0%) | (6) Anightinlambourn 9/1, Took sizeable steps forward over fences during second half of last year, making it 3 wins from 4 starts when successful here (25f) at the November Meeting. Done no favours at the start when pulled up in the Kim Muir last month, so could resume her progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Just over two lengths separated Captain Cattistock (first) and MISTER MALARKY (second) in this contest last year and it is the latter who is taken to come out on top this time around, courtesy of a 5lb pull at the weights. Richard Bandey's charge proved his recent wellbeing when narrowly denied at Exeter on his penultimate start and he gets the vote ahead of the former, as well as Old Course winner Definite Plan and Percussion, who should appreciate going back up in trip. Java Point and Lord Du Mesnil cannot be ruled out either.
JIMMY THE DIGGER has shown improved form this season and could still have more to offer at staying trips, so he is taken to resume his progress and gain a second course win. The 10-y-o can see off the challenge of the consistent Captain Cattistock, with Lord du Mesnil completing the shortlist.
Plenty of these have shown a liking for this track, including CAPTAIN CATTISTOCK (nap) who can repeat his success of 12 months ago.

1st (7) (8.5/1 +29%) Roll It In Glitter |
8.5/1(+29%) | (7) Roll It In Glitter 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in nursery (18/1) at Newmarket (9f, soft) in October, weakening over 1f out. Gelded ahead of return and this sort of test ought to be within range, so another worth monitoring in the betting for positive vibes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6.5/1 +0%) Orchestra |
6.5/1(+0%) | (3) Orchestra 6.5/1, Winner at Pontefract (1m) in October. Gelded, shaped as if needing the run back from 6 months off when fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 21 days ago. Entitled to be sharper with that under his belt now upped in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (10/1 -11%) Flash Bardot |
10/1(-11%) | (6) Flash Bardot 10/1, Lightly-raced winner who matched previous best to land 10-runner novice event (11/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 23 days ago, closed down near the line. Bit more needed on turf/handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (16/1 -45%) Masterpainter |
16/1(-45%) | (8) Masterpainter 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. 15/8, bit below form third of 6 in nursery at Ripon (1m) in September, plugging on. Still, he's entitled to do better again this term, including over this sort of trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (25/1 -79%) Duke Of Wybourne |
25/1(-79%) | (4) Duke Of Wybourne 25/1, Very good second of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 16 days ago, challenging final 1f and keeping on. This rates a stronger affair on balance but he may have more to offer now upped in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 -60%) Bulldog Spirit |
12/1(-60%) | (2) Bulldog Spirit 12/1, Successful on debut at Newcastle (1m) in September and dispelled a lesser effort when midfield in 13-runner Kempton novice (1m) in November without being unduly punished. Gelded subsequently and longer trip should suit now handicapping | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (2/1 +20%) Luna Effect |
2/1(+20%) | (9) Luna Effect 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November, needing stiffer test. Gelded ahead of return/handicap debut and this step up to 1¼m promises to suit. Interesting for powerful yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (3.33/1 +5%) Sea Master |
3.33/1(+5%) | (1) Sea Master 3.33/1, Boasts a very appealing middle-distance pedigree and definite promise to glean from exploits in maiden/novice company at around 1m last term. Had wind op/gelded ahead of return and improvement likely now handicapping over this longer trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (8.5/1 +15%) Melwood Boy |
8.5/1(+15%) | (5) Melwood Boy 8.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in maiden (3/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 41 days ago. Up in trip for handicap debut and interesting what the market makes of him. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Luna Effect makes his handicap bow following a disappointing run on the all-weather in November, but he has been gelded since and and can improve stepping back up in trip. It could still pay to side with FLASH BARDOT, who makes her turf debut following a game win in a novice contest over this distance at Lingfield last month and she must hold every chance of following up. Duke Of Wybourne was only narrowly denied at Newcastle and is another to note.
The market should prove informative in this 3-y-o handicap but LUNA EFFECT showed plenty of promise with a view to stepping up in trip/switch to handicaps on his qualifying run at Wolverhampton in November and could be the answer for his powerful stable. Sea Master, another likely improver now handicapping, is feared along with Orchestra.
A few in here look open to improvement in their second seasons. SEA MASTER looks the pick of the Johnston pair and is preferred.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This looks a good opportunity for SIMPSON'S PARADOX to open his account. The full-brother to Alpha Centauri and Discoveries showed promise in three outings last year, notably when runner-up to Alexandroupolis over an extended mile on soft ground at Galway. No Big Deal showed some promise on debut when keeping on behind The Prairie at Leopardstown, but may not be suited by this step down in trip. Feach Amach was far from disgraced on both starts last year, while Macinamillion should progress from his debut at the Curragh last month.
SIMPSON'S PARADOX was a little disappointing on his final 2-y-o start but his Galway third prior to that is solid and he can bounce back and strike on his reappearance. No Big Deal and Grey Leader showed promise on their recent debuts and can give Jessica Harrington's charge most to think about.
This appears a weak enough maiden and a good opportunity for the well-bred SIMPSON'S PARADOX

11/1(+21%) | (9) Union Jackie 11/1, Foaled April 3. £28,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag filly. Half-sister to 1½m/13f winner Startedwithakiss. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 5f-1m winner Giant Sandman. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Dorothy Lawrence boasts an appealing pedigree, being a half-sister to several notable types including Italian Listed winner Festive Star, so she looks more than capable of having a say in proceedings on her racecourse bow. However, PERSIAN DREAMER was a 145,000-euro purchase as a yearling and her dam is a full-sister to Group 1 runner-up Tiger Moth. She can make a winning start to her racing career, while Specific Times adds further spice to the race.
PERSIAN DREAMER makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard who saddled the runner-up in the Brocklesby and have had 2 winning newcomers for connections since and she could be the way to go without the benefit of market clues. Karl Burke's Dorothy Lawrence is another interesting newcomer and feared, along with Specific Times. She's Smart, the sole runner with experience, can also get in the mix.
Top of the list is 145,000euros yearling PERSIAN DREAMER for Amo Racing, with the Karl Burke-trained Dorothy Lawrence second choice

1st (6) (3/1 +33%) Broadway Boy |
3/1(+33%) | (6) Broadway Boy 3/1, Well served by quick switch to handicaps/step up to around 3m, doubling his career tally at Market Rasen (23f) 3 weeks ago, looking all about stamina. Assessor applies further pressure but highly likely there's more to come and he's a big player here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (33/1 +0%) Hurricane Harvey |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Hurricane Harvey 33/1, Overall record is a mixed one but back on his game when landing handicaps at Uttoxeter/Ludlow around the turn of the year. Creditable third over 3m at Newbury on his penultimate run but he does need to shrug off a lesser display behind On The Blind Side back at that venue 26 days ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (2.75/1 +17%) Santos Blue |
2.75/1(+17%) | (8) Santos Blue 2.75/1, Winning pointer who has shown much-improved form under this rider since being refitted with a tongue strap, career best display as he rattled off the hat-trick with good deal to spare at Kelso (20.8f) 46 days ago. Feasible to think he can do better again on that evidence. Big player upped to 3m. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 -33%) Press Your Luck |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Press Your Luck 12/1, Made winning return/chase debut at Chepstow (23.6f) in October but struggled over both sets of obstacles next 4 starts (failed to complete on 3). However, did return to form back from 8 weeks off to score at Wincanton in February (2-2 at that venue). Still low-mileage at this trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (10/1 -43%) The Kniphand |
10/1(-43%) | (11) The Kniphand 10/1, Improved model switched to handicaps/upped to 3m, displaying an excellent attitude as he made it 3 wins from last 4 starts at Market Rasen (23f) in March (clear with runner-up). Another holding claims from this yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (6.5/1 +35%) Abuffalosoldier |
6.5/1(+35%) | (5) Abuffalosoldier 6.5/1, Low-mileage type who stepped up on his comeback run to make first start at 3m a winning one at Newbury in November. Similar form when third behind Hector Javilex over C&D on New Year's Day and he looked a threat before weakening out of things from 2 out at Musselburgh in February. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (10/1 +17%) Bells Of Peterboro |
10/1(+17%) | (10) Bells Of Peterboro 10/1, Consistent sort who again made the frame when third in 15-runner Chepstow handicap (23.6f) in February, rallying well to gain that place close home. Assessor has relinquished his grip but he remains 3 lb above last winning mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (16/1 +0%) Landen Calling |
16/1(+0%) | (12) Landen Calling 16/1, Has raised his game since equipped with blinkers, dominant as he doubled tally at Market Rasen (23f) last July. Made a good fist of things when second from 11 lb higher mark at Worcester (23f) the following month but he has been absent since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (28/1 -12%) Silver Flyer |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Silver Flyer 28/1, Made it third time lucky in handicaps when staying on to lead close home at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) just after Christmas. Not in anything like the same form either start since though, pulled up in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (23.3f) 32 days ago. Blinkers now reached for. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (7) (7.5/1 +53%) Royaume Uni |
7.5/1(+53%) | (7) Royaume Uni 7.5/1, Useful on Flat and reached a similar standard over hurdles when scoring twice in handicap company last season. Good return to hurdling when second at Plumpton (20.5f) in October and whilst he's disappointed both starts since, he has faced softer ground. Mark is steadily easing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (14/1 -17%) On The Blind Side |
14/1(-17%) | (1) On The Blind Side 14/1, One-time smart hurdler who cashed in from a career-low mark at Newbury (24.2f) in March, finding extra when tackled. Remains well treated on old form but whether he'll turn up in the same groove is open to question. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
On The Blind Side was a game winner over this trip at Newbury last month, but he steps up in class here and has to shoulder top-weight, so the vote goes to PRESS YOUR LUCK. Chris Gordon's eight-year-old was an emphatic winner over an extended 2m5f at Wincanton in February and can have a big say in proceedings here, especially as Freddie Gordon negates all of the gelding's 6lb rise for that success with his 7lb claim. Santos Blue arrives on a four-timer and is feared most, while Broadway Boy is another to bear in mind.
SANTOS BLUE took another marked step forward and completed the hat-trick to boot when running out an impressive winner at Kelso last month and a 6 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid from Dan Skelton's progressive 6-y-o. Similar comments apply to Broadway Boy and he rates the chief threat on the back of his Market Rasen success. Hector Javilex and The Kniphand complete the shortlist.
His stamina needs taking on trust but ROYAUME UNI was a stayer on the Flat and he's always been running on over shorter trips.

1st (3) (3/1 +14%) Two Brothers |
3/1(+14%) | (3) Two Brothers 3/1, Remains a maiden but consistency was hard to knock during second half of last season and he again ran well on the back of 5 months off when fourth in 12-runner Doncaster handicap (11.9f) earlier this month. Well in the mix with a repeat from same mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/1 -13%) Yorkindness |
9/1(-13%) | (5) Yorkindness 9/1, Keen-going sort who dug deep to open his account in a Hamilton maiden (11f) back in August. Struggled back in handicap company when last of 6 at Haydock (11.6f) final outing in September but unlikely to be lacking for fitness on return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5.5/1 +15%) Carrigillihy |
5.5/1(+15%) | (2) Carrigillihy 5.5/1, In good form on the Flat last autumn, including a win over this trip at Pontefract. No better than modest form in 2 novice hurdles at the start of this year but entitled to come on for his respectable midfield effort back on the level at Doncaster (11.9f) 17 days ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (2.5/1 +29%) Sugarpiehoneybunch |
2.5/1(+29%) | (7) Sugarpiehoneybunch 2.5/1, Well served by return to softer ground this spring, shedding maiden tag at Thirsk (12f) and coming from long way back again to ultimately follow up in cosy fashion at Catterick (12f, heavy) 7 days ago. Rates a live player in hat-trick bid. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (4.5/1 -80%) Big Cheese |
4.5/1(-80%) | (4) Big Cheese 4.5/1, Showed fair form in 3 qualifying runs last year and despite still looking a little rough around the edges, he improved a little when runner-up on return/handicap debut at Pontefract (12f, heavy) 8 days ago. Feasible to think he can come on from that and another in with a shout. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (50/1 -52%) Foursome |
50/1(-52%) | (8) Foursome 50/1, Maiden who was operating below her best on AW earlier this year, ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 68 days ago, dropping away over 1f out. Short break/return to turf needs to have positive effect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (14/1 -40%) Ready To Shine |
14/1(-40%) | (1) Ready To Shine 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden who ran up to best when second on return/handicap debut at Southwell (12f) for this yard in January. Not in anything like the same form when last of 11 in handicap at that venue the following month but given a break since and feasible to think she can bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (12/1 +52%) Bay Dream Believer |
12/1(+52%) | (6) Bay Dream Believer 12/1, Fair maiden who didn't look the easiest of rides in a couple of AW outings for her new yard in January but she is well treated on the pick of last year's turf exploits if a short break has a reviving effect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This represents a drop in class for TWO BROTHERS, who finished an encouraging fourth over this trip at Doncaster on his return to action. He retains the mark from that run and is expected to step forward, although Big Cheese remains unexposed and can give him plenty to think about on the back of a promising Pontefract second. Sugarpiehoneybunch has to shoulder a 5lb penalty following a comfortable win at Catterick, but won't give up on the hat-trick without a fight.
TWO BROTHERS remains a maiden but picked up where he left off last season with a creditable fourth over this sort of trip at Doncaster and, with underfoot conditions posing no fears, this could be the day he gets off the mark. That said, Sugarpiehoneybunch has thrived in recent weeks and she's a big player in her hat-trick bid, with Big Cheese another expected to be thereabouts.
The hat-trick seeking Sugarpiehoneybunch should make a bold bid but may find Pontefract runner-up BIG CHEESE (nap) too strong.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
GOLDEN SPANGLE was mainly campaigned over a mile in maidens last year and ran a cracker when dropped in trip on her handicap debut at the Curragh on Sunday. The daughter of Dawn Approach came home strongly on the testing going when beaten less than two lengths behind Midnight Fire in a 23-runner event and could be ideally suited by seven. Summer Snow ticked boxes for this track, distance and going when just denied by Rhythm King in a nursery last autumn. She didn't enjoy the clearest passage on that occasion and remains on a competitive mark. Happenstance appreciated the step up to this trip when successful at Dundalk last November, while Cherry Pink also comes here on the back of a decent effort on the Polytrack.
GOLDEN SPANGLE upped her game when an excellent third at the Curragh 3 days ago and the longer trip promises to suit so, provided the race doesn't come too soon, she could take all the beating. Cherry Pink and Happenstance look the main dangers.
An excellent staying-on third in an all-aged 6f handicap at the Curragh on Sunday, GOLDEN SPANGLE (nap) could now take some beating

It has come as no surprise to see Charlie Appleby hit the ground running this season. The locally-based trainer, who boasts a terrific strike-rate with his three-year-olds on the Rowley Mile, is fancied to enhance his already impressive record with SILVER LADY. By Sea The Stars and a half-sister to the classy Highland Avenue, the filly should hold all of the correct attributes in order to succeed on her debut. Ludmilla was only beaten a neck on her first start, which came here over 7f, and she can take a step forward with improvement likely. The powerful Shadwell operation are represented by Mubhijah and Rowayeh, of whom the former is preferred.
This is sure to be an informative early-season maiden with LUDMILLA the most compelling runner following a seriously eye-catching effort on debut over 7f here in the autumn. Newcomers may pose the stiffest opposition, with Silver Lady and Sea Claret of particular interest.
The Gosden stable has a fine record in this race and LUDMILLA, who shaped with considerable promise here in October, can enhance it.

3rd (11) (4/1 -20%) By Your Side |
4/1(-20%) | (11) By Your Side 4/1, Low-key start over hurdles but really getting the hang of it now, landing big-field maiden at Naas 3 weeks ago. Has the scope for better still representing a top yard so he's a must for the shortlist. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8th (2) (18/1 +36%) Gumball |

9th (3) (18/1 -29%) Fransham |
18/1(-29%) | (3) Fransham 18/1, Wetherby regular but not at the top of his game at that venue this season, albeit he did shape quite well after an absence when third from reduced mark 3 weeks ago. Well weighted if he can build on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (8/1 -60%) Ballygeary |
8/1(-60%) | (7) Ballygeary 8/1, Very positive start to his hurdles career, again going with plenty of zest when completing the hat-trick in novice company at Kelso 25 days ago. Opening mark looks very fair and there's every chance there's more to come. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (40/1 -21%) Boston Emery |
40/1(-21%) | (10) Boston Emery 40/1, Pretty prolific in France but first run since leaving A. Chaille-Chaille when disappointing eighth of 14 in minor event hurdle at Machecoul (19.4f, soft) 74 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (16/1 +11%) Walhaan |
16/1(+11%) | (4) Walhaan 16/1, Pretty useful on the Flat and cashed in on a soft lead when making third hurdles start a winning one at Leopardstown last month. In nothing like the same form under a penalty at Naas and needs to improve to defy this mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (16/1 +0%) Elham Valley |
16/1(+0%) | (9) Elham Valley 16/1, Successful at Warwick in May and back on song following a couple of low-key efforts when narrowly prevailing at Newton Abbot (17f) in August. Last of 6 on the level a fortnight ago but that will have served a purpose fitness-wise. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
This could go the way of MAYHEM MYA, who steps up in class following a comfortable success over 2m at Sandown last month. Although now up to a mark of 119, Chris Honour's six-year-old remains open to further improvement and looks capable of securing the double. Ballygeary has won his last two starts under penalties and should not be dismissed lightly on his handicap bow, while Black Poppy is another to bear in mind.
BY YOUR SIDE is really getting to grips with hurdling now and given the yard he represents, his limit may not have been reached. He could be the answer to what is an open race, with Ballygeary also open to progress, while Mayhem Mya also commands respect.
Another very open handicap. WALHAAN will be better suited by this ground and the form of his Leopardstown maiden win has been franked.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HALE END was getting the hang of things towards the back end of last season and his most recent effort, when third on his handicap debut at Newmarket, was a sign that there are races to be won with him this year. He has since moved from Richard Hannon to the Michael Dods yard and has been gelded, and is taken to see off handicap debutant Abbadia and Pearl Eye, who didn't get the best of runs at Wolverhampton on his comeback.
ABBADIA hit the line with running left when fourth at Chelmsford last time and seems like a potential improver now handicapping, so she takes marginal preference over Pearl Eye, who ran well at Wolverhampton recently. Hale End is interesting starting out for a new stable.
The filly ABBADIA wouldn't be the first George Boughey horse to get competitive for the first time on switching to handicaps.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ELMOS FIRE won at Listowel last summer and returned in good form, again over a mile, at Bellewstown earlier this month. The selection made virtually all and was only denied in the closing stages by Tellthemi'mhere. This drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience him. Brave Troop recorded his second win over 1m2f at Navan last time. He travelled really well throughout and is worth a try at this shorter trip. Lucky Queen progressed nicely last autumn, winning over a mile at Cork, and also filled the runner-up spot at this venue. Maggie And Me ran well on heavy ground at Leopardstown earlier this month, while Gegenpressing and Trueba are others to consider, along with Yester.
MAGGIE AND ME stepped up on her previous efforts for this yard when second at Leopardstown 17 days ago and now she's up and running, this mark should be within range. Brave Troop and Notforalongtime are a couple of possible threats.
Only denied late at Bellewstown after forcing the pace, ELMOS FIRE could take some catching now dropped in trip

3/1(+40%) | (6) Like A Tiger 3/1, Off the mark at the third time of asking when getting the better of a promising newcomer in 13-runner minor event at Kempton (1m) in November. Remains capable of better as he goes handicapping over this longer distance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/1 -25%) Regal Empire |
10/1(-25%) | (3) Regal Empire 10/1, Upped in trip for his handicap debut, proved a different proposition when easily winning 6-runner handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 50 days ago. Has been raised 10 lb for that success, but he's not taken lightly as he makes his first start on turf. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7.5/1 -7%) Shahbaz |
7.5/1(-7%) | (4) Shahbaz 7.5/1, Back down in trip with cheekpieces on first time, found some improvement when opening account in 11-runner nursery at this course (9f, soft) in October. Can give another good account having been gelded ahead of his return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (10/1 +0%) Demilion |

8th (1) (5.5/1 -65%) High Honour |
5.5/1(-65%) | (1) High Honour 5.5/1, Expensive purchase who got off the mark at the second attempt in a Goodwood maiden (1m, good to soft) last year. In first-time cheekpieces, badly hampered when third at Chelmsford (1m2f) next time and should have more to offer now handicapping (has been gelded). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (3.5/1 +13%) Imperial Ace |
3.5/1(+13%) | (2) Imperial Ace 3.5/1, Has progressed with each of his 3 starts so far, defying a penalty in good style when successful in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 78 days ago. Leading contender with more to come upped in trip on his turf/handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
DEMILION did well to finish second at Doncaster 17 days ago having raced freely in the early stages. He was returning from an absence that day, however, and it's likely that run has blown away the cobwebs. The Roaring Lion colt can continue to progress on the turf this season, and the booking of Frankie Dettori catches the eye. Imperial Ace makes his handicap debut from an opening mark of 90 following a brace of successes at Newcastle and Southwell and appeals as a leading contender, along with the Charlie Appleby-trained High Honour. At the foot of the handicap, it would be folly to underestimate the chances of Great Bedwyn.
This informative 3-y-o contest can go the way of IMPERIAL ACE, who is taken to complete his hat-trick as he goes up in trip on his handicap debut. Heading the list of dangers is Regal Empire, who got off the mark easily when last seen in February, while High Honour is another who merits consideration.
In a field full of promise, slight preference is for IMPERIAL ACE who left a positive impression with his two 1m novice wins on Tapeta.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
With a handful of fascinating debutants heading to post, only a tentative vote can go to FLOWER OF DUBAI. Her dam won over 1m4f at this venue, so the Crisfords' daughter of New Approach ought to appreciate an artificial surface, and it would be no surprise were she to make an immediate impact. Andrew Balding's string continues in fine form so Nathaniel filly Grand Providence must be taken seriously, while Hedonista and Sindri are both worth a second glance in the betting.
The Michael Bell yard is going notably well, so SINDRI, a nicely-bred newcomer, gets the tentative vote before market clues. Grand Providence and Flower of Dubai are other debutantes to take seriously.
This could go to the Crisfords' newcomer FLOWER OF DUBAI, whose dam was useful for the same connections.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This can go the way of SHE'S GOT BOTTLE, who is unbeaten in two starts here and finished last season with a highly creditable second over further at Redcar. Soft ground should be of no inconvenience either and she is narrowly preferred to top-weight Golden Melody, who was a promising third on her return at Doncaster. Glory And Gold and Miss Calculation are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
TWO SUMMERS ended last season on the up and made a respectable return at Redcar 9 days ago, so she's fancied to resume winning ways from the ideal draw. She's Got Bottle is an obvious danger if tuned up for her reappearance and Miss Calculation should give a good account of herself.
The vote goes to SHE'S GOT BOTTLE, who makes her seasonal return off a fair mark and may prove hard to catch if getting to the front.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Joseph O'Brien has made a good start to the new Flat season and AMERICAN SONJA could add to the tally. She went close twice at the Curragh before opening her account there, drawing clear in the closing stages to land a 17-runner maiden in decisive fashion on soft ground last autumn. Hopefully she has progressed over the winter and this trip should suit. All Lies Ahead had Toriangel back in fourth when scoring over this trip at Leopardstown a fortnight ago, while Celtic Crown is another to consider. He won a very valuable mile handicap at the Curragh last year and again shaped well over that C&D when sixth to Lattam in the Irish Lincoln last month.
AMERICAN SONJA has a 6-month absence to overcome, but being the sole 3-y-o in the line-up there's every reason to expect further improvement this term, especially now stepping back up in trip, so she receives the vote. All Lies Ahead is another lightly-raced improver who warrants plenty of respect, with Princess Rajj completing the shortlist.
All Lies Ahead should have more to offer but may not cope with the 3yo AMERICAN SONJA

DOCKLANDS bumped into a smart prospect when filling the runner-up spot at Wolverhampton last month, and connections would appear to have found him an ideal opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Ray Vonn continues to run well in defeat and he could improve for the application of first-time headgear. One More Wave was out of his depth in a warm Newbury maiden last October, but this should be more realistic.
DOCKLANDS has displayed more than enough when runner-up both starts 8 months apart to think he can win a maiden such as this and he will take plenty of stopping. Ray Vonn can make his presence felt again but a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of newcomer Acclaimer.
Lots of unknowns here but DOCKLANDS is very much the form pick and can break his duck.

Irish Oaks entrant GREEN SKY could make a winning debut for Joseph O'Brien. Her sire relished cut in the ground and she is related to three multiple winners. She has a decent draw to work from. Hey Whatever showed ability on her first start in Naas when a never nearer fourth on testing ground. The runner-up franked the form by landing a fillies' maiden in Dundalk. Zoffany filly Paris Review was behind Hey Whatever in seventh in that aforementioned race in Naas, however, she was only 7/1 for that debut run which would indicate there is more to come from her. Queen Mab is a nicely-bred filly having her first start for a shrewd stable. Collage is another newcomer to note.
HEY WHATEVER offered something to work on when fourth on last month's debut at Naas and is selected to put that experience to good use. Green Sky and Collage are a couple of newcomers to note.
Noel Meade's HEY WHATEVER gets the vote on the strength of a debut fourth at Naas that gives her an edge over Paris Review.

A C&D winner in November, ICY DIP is taken to pick up where she left off now switched to handicaps. The strength of that form is up for debate, but Hughie Morrison's filly won well and wouldn't appear to be overburdened by an opening mark of 72. Recent Wolverhampton scorer Clipsham Gold merits respect, with Billy Loughnane keeping the partnership intact, while Queen's Company must be of interest on her return to the fray.
Despite being ignored in the betting, CLIPSHAM GOLD was better than ever when successful on reappearance at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and with Billy Loughnane on again, the follow up could well be on the cards. Icy Dip and Queen's Company head the opposition.
The 3yo ICY DIP was a decisive scorer in November and can make a successful handicap debut.

8th (8) (7/1 -17%) The Snapper |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
DUKE OF LEGGAGH is in a rich vein of form this season. He returned to action in a valuable handicap at Naas last month and earned plenty of credit in finishing second to a horse who holds Classic entries. He then absolutely demolished his rivals by seven lengths in Navan to earn a 12lb hike from the handicapper. There could be more in him. Johnny Murtagh runs two horses and perhaps the pick of them will be Devore. The form of her Curragh nursery victory in September has been very well franked. Tea Olive came in a remote second to Duke Of Leggagh in Naas, but is one for each-way players to consider. That was her seasonal reappearance and she now has a substantial pull in the weights. Semblance Of Order is up in trip and has a chance. The Snapper could build upon a Cork victory.
DUKE OF LEGGAGH is clearly a much-improved performer since faced with testing ground and having bolted up at Navan 3 weeks ago, Michael Mulvany's charge is fancied to follow up. The main danger could be Mere Accountant, who showed much improved form to get off the mark at Dundalk in November and should have more to offer now handicapping fitted with cheekpieces. The Snapper can fill out third spot.
Galway nursery winner DUKE OF LEGGAGH has maintained his rate of progression and can back up a comfortable Navan win

Now that the penny has dropped for the unexposed BILL PLUMB after a taking success at Wolverhampton last month, the Phil McEntee-trained gelding could be very dangerous off a mark of 70 on his handicap debut. The consistent Lilkian arrives with far more experience and is a C&D winner to boot, while No Speed Limit is of interest as well on his first run for new connections.
BILL PLUMB upped his game to land a maiden at Wolverhampton last time and is open to further improvement switched to handicaps, so he takes marginal preference over Lilkian, who arrives in good order but is much more exposed. No Speed Limit warrants a mention on debut for a new yard.
Bill Plumb is unexposed but returning to AW, as well as a wind op since last in action, tips the scales in ORIENTAL SPIRIT's favour

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STRIKING might be a different proposition on the Flat after a runner-up berth in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle. He was only collared on the run-in of that 21-runner race and appeals off a mark of 53 on this switch back to the Flat. Ellaat has been off since November and has switched stables to Charles Byrnes. He has shown himself to be capable over hurdles and on the level with five victories accrued across both codes. He looks a big player in this field. Perfect Arch has a similar profile to Striking in that he took second when last seen in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal. Colin Keane has been booked for Elle Dorado Rock and a market check is advised.
STRIKING didn't show much on the level for Jessica Harrington but has since upped his game significantly over hurdles. If he can translate a portion of that ability to the Flat, he's more than capable of cashing in on this mark. Ellaat has transferred to Charles Byrnes and a market move would look very significant, with Elle Dorado Rock another to consider.
Jessica Harrington's runner STRIKING is tipped in the hope that he can transfer the form of his recent Fairyhouse second to the Flat

8/1(-60%) | (5) Full Prime 8/1, Showed improved form when off the mark in 11-runner handicap at this C&D (6/1) 14 days ago. Her 3 best efforts have now come at this course and she can give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4.5/1 -50%) Rocking Ends |
4.5/1(-50%) | (1) Rocking Ends 4.5/1, Three wins from 8 runs last year, with his latest success at Southwell in December. Again ran creditably when third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 6/4) 67 days ago. Major player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 +23%) Prospering |
5/1(+23%) | (4) Prospering 5/1, Placed on last 3 starts, having run of race when third of 12 in minor event (11/10) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 88 days ago. Has been gelded ahead of his handicap debut. Needs to find more back down to 6f. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1.75/1(+30%) | (2) Eminency 1.75/1, Lightly-raced winner. 85/40, ran to similar level as previously when third of 5 in nursery at Goodwood (7f, good) when last seen in October. Back down in trip as he makes polytrack debut. Shortlisted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (8.5/1 +29%) Magical Merlin |
8.5/1(+29%) | (3) Magical Merlin 8.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, below best when sixth of 11 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in October, though not ideally placed. Off 6 months/gelded. Needs to resume progress on polytrack debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (10/1 +50%) Hiatus |
10/1(+50%) | (7) Hiatus 10/1, C&D winner. Not discredited when fourth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time, but may just find others stronger. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (12/1 -41%) Wadi Bani |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ROCKING ENDS may have been beaten on his last two starts at Lingfield, but the form of those races has worked out nicely and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to regain the winning thread. Eminency showed up well as a two-year-old, including when fifth in a valuable sales race at Doncaster, and he looks to be the main danger, ahead of recent C&D winner Full Prime.
ROCKING ENDS has been developing a good record on the all-weather, posting another creditable effort when third at Lingfield last time, and he can resume winning ways back down in grade. The main danger could be Full Prime who has yet to finish out of the first 3 in a trio of starts at this C&D, with Eminency completing the shortlist on his return.
Full Prime should go well despite the stiffer opposition but ROCKING ENDS (nap) is useful on his day and gets the nod down in grade

4/1(+11%) | (11) Agapanther 4/1, Course winner. 7/2, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) when last seen in October but the booking of Billy Loughnane takes the eye on return. One to note in the betting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (8.5/1 +6%) Della Mare |
8.5/1(+6%) | (9) Della Mare 8.5/1, C&D winner. Successful twice over 6f at Southwell last spring. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f, 5/1) 44 days ago. Draw could have been kinder but still respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

2.75/1(+21%) | (6) Beauen Arrows 2.75/1, 2/1, seventh of 10 in handicap over this C&D 21 days ago but had been placed twice over 7f here prior to that. Claims on those efforts. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (20/1 +0%) Joy Choi |

66/1(-164%) | (8) Alfred Cove 66/1, Last of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) on reapperance 11 days ago, very slowly away. Needs to have come on a lot in short time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Only narrowly denied over 7f at Lingfield on his latest outing, NUBOUGH can have a big say in proceedings in a first-time visor. The gelded son of Kodiac has been left on the same mark and is expected to be in the thick of the action once more. Della Mare finished a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton last time out and heads the list of dangers from course winner Agapanther on her return to action.
NUBOUGH returned to form when narrowly denied at Lingfield and might be able to resume winning ways under Adam Kirby. Beauen Arrows failed to fire over C&D last time but had been in form here prior to that and is taken to bounce back and provide the chief threat ahead of Tony Carroll's Della Mare.
This can go to dual C&D winner GHERKIN who returns on a good mark and has gone well fresh in each of the last two seasons.

80/1(-220%) | (4) Argus 80/1, 33/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good) 48 days ago. Modest on the Flat, below form on last Flat run. Others preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/1 +0%) Social City |

5/1(-43%) | (6) Reeceltic 5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in November. 10/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 88 days ago. This is easier and has to be shortlisted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (33/1 +67%) Soldier In Action |
33/1(+67%) | (7) Soldier In Action 33/1, One-time useful handicapper but lightly raced and little form in recent years | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (1/1 +28%) Donald Llewellyn |
1/1(+28%) | (1) Donald Llewellyn 1/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (9/4) 14 days ago, having run of race. Hit with an 8 lb rise but has clearly returned an improved model and may do better still. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (25/1 -39%) Hackberry |
25/1(-39%) | (5) Hackberry 25/1, Last of 12 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft, 200/1) 48 days ago. Fair on the all-weather, too keen on last Flat outing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Even though he has to shoulder top-weight for this contest, DONALD LLEWELLYN could prove tough to beat if anywhere near recent form. He has gone up 8lb for a comprehensive success over C&D earlier this month, but that may not be enough to stop Gary Moore's gelding from securing a double. Anisoptera was only narrowly denied over 1m4f at Lingfield and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Social City is another to bear in mind.
REECELTIC is taken to capitalise on the drop in grade having shaped well in a much stronger race than this at Lingfield on his most recent outing. Donald Llewellyn and Anisoptera are considered the main threats.
Gary Moore looks to have found a good opportunity for DONALD LLEWELLYN and he can follow up his recent C&D success.

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.
