1st (3) (10/1 +29%) Liangel Hope |
10/1(+29%) | (3) Liangel Hope 10/1, 22/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f), running on. Off 6 months but still needs considering. Won four times in 2022 and can make his presence felt if fully tuned up for seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3.33/1 +17%) Micks Dream |
3.33/1(+17%) | (5) Micks Dream 3.33/1, Off 6 months and caught the eye when fifth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 12/1) 15 days ago, left poorly placed and nearest finish. Big shout. 7f winner last summer and made encouraging reappearance last month; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (16/1 -60%) Amathus |
16/1(-60%) | (9) Amathus 16/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 28/1). Off 6 months and needs to hit the ground running. Emphatic C&D winner in first-time cheekpieces last August but soon went off the boil. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (6/1 +29%) Sir Titan |
6/1(+29%) | (10) Sir Titan 6/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Possibilities. No win since summer 2021 but put in good front-running shift on AW a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (10/1 -67%) Jupiter Express |
10/1(-67%) | (7) Jupiter Express 10/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 11/2) 53 days ago. In the picture. 2-8 on AW for this yard; will be fine back on turf and remains unexposed over 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (5.5/1 +31%) Poetic Force |
5.5/1(+31%) | (4) Poetic Force 5.5/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Kempton in March. 13/2, fair sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 10 days ago. Well in the mix off a 2 lb lower mark. Triple AW winner this year but only sixth of nine over C&D when back on turf last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (7.5/1 +53%) Pistoletto |
7.5/1(+53%) | (1) Pistoletto 7.5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 25 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Chance on old form. Very useful in his prime but seems to have lost his way this year; has questions to answer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (25/1 -56%) King Of War |
25/1(-56%) | (8) King Of War 25/1, C&D winner. Last of 10 in handicap (100/1) at Kempton (7f) 55 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Two wins last year, the latter over C&D; ran very poorly on AW reappearance, though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (3/1 +50%) Trais Fluors |
3/1(+50%) | (2) Trais Fluors 3/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. 40/1, below form thirteenth of 20 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy). Off 6 months but still enters calculations if back on song. Much better known as a miler but begins the new campaign on a very tempting mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, Mick's Dream, 4/1 (6) MASTERCLASS, and 6/1 (7) JUPITER EXPRESS seem to be the top contenders. Mick's Dream has had a recent encouraging reappearance and was a 7f winner last summer. 4/1 (6) MASTERCLASS has ended last season in good form, and while he finished third in his last handicap, he has a lot left to offer over 7f this year. 6/1 (7) JUPITER EXPRESS has a good record on AW and remains unexposed over 7f on turf.
MASTERCLASS arrives in this following a decent third over 6f at Chelmsford last September and David Simcock's four-year-old should not be taken lightly after a break. A game winner over 6f at this track on his third-last outing, he can make a pleasing return to turf and should not be underestimated. Jupiter Express has been kept busy on the all-weather of late and enters calculations here, while the class-dropping Poetic Force completes the shortlist.
A few with chances but MICKS DREAM returned with an eye-catching fifth at Windsor and gets the nod off an unchanged mark at the chief expense of the handily-weighted Poetic Force, who is already a three-time winner in 2023. In-form Jupiter Express appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
The suggestion is MICKS DREAM, who made an encouraging seasonal debut over 1m and is well handicapped on some of last year's 7f form.

1st (5) (1.38/1 +39%) Treasure Storm |
1.38/1(+39%) | (5) Treasure Storm 1.38/1, Foaled January 25. €145,000 yearling, Expert Eye filly. Offered something to work on when fourth in 8-runner Musselburgh novice (5f) on debut in April, pushed along halfway and keeping on. Entitled to have derived a good deal from that and likely there's better to come. Fair fourth at Musselburgh on debut and this 145,000euros yearling is open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (1.75/1 -7%) Snafiya |
1.75/1(-7%) | (4) Snafiya 1.75/1, Foaled April 12. 80,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Apricot Twist. Dam, 7f-8.3f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 2m Rhombus from family of smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Gutaifan, won Flying Childers Stakes/Prix Robert Papin. Noteworthy newcomer. 80,000gns y'ling; half-sister to 6f 2yo winner Apricot Twist (RPR 96); respected on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/1 -33%) Defying Orders |
4/1(-33%) | (1) Defying Orders 4/1, Foaled February 12. €48,000 yearling, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f winner Ardenode and 5f-6f winner Dandy Dinmont. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Makes appeal on paper and interesting what the market makes of her on debut. Trainer has made excellent start to season with his 2yos; firmly in calculations on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/1 +0%) Mademoisellecancan |
10/1(+0%) | (3) Mademoisellecancan 10/1, Foaled April 19. Land Force filly. Dam twice-raced half-sister to useful 8.6f winner Crimson China out of 5f-9f winner Parisian Affair. Dam well beaten 9.4f AW both starts; check betting, but others appeal more on paper. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, the Blue Point filly 1.63/1 (4) SNAFIYA and the Expert Eye filly 2.25/1 (5) TREASURE STORM seem to be the most promising newcomers, with 1.63/1 (4) SNAFIYA having a half-sister who was a 2-year-old winner and 2.25/1 (5) TREASURE STORM offering potential for improvement after her debut fourth. 3/1 (1) DEFYING ORDERS also has good breeding and could be one to watch on debut, while 9/1 (2) EXPONISTA and 10/1 (3) MADEMOISELLECANCAN have less impressive records so far.
TREASURE STORM showed some promise when filling fourth place on her debut at Musselburgh last month and that experience could prove to be vital here. Snafiya is a half-sister to the useful juvenile Apricot Twist and the 80,000gns purchase has to be of interest on debut. All of the remainder make some appeal but Defying Orders is arguably the pick of them.
The market should prove useful with 4 of the 5 making their debuts but without the benefit of those clues it could be worth siding with SNAFIYA. She makes plenty of appeal for a yard adept at readying a newcomer and the booking of William Buick rates an obvious positive. Treasure Storm, the sole runner with experience, heads the dangers.
Preference is for the newcomer DEFYING ORDERS, whose trainer Archie Watson has made an excellent start with his 2yos.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (6/1 +14%) Dovena |
6/1(+14%) | (4) Dovena 6/1, 9/1, only sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 26 days ago. Can give a good account if back on song. Placed in first-time hood at Lingfield (1m2f) in January; underwhelming since; needs more.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (33/1 -371%) Queen Of Steel |
33/1(-371%) | (5) Queen Of Steel 33/1, Seventh of 8 in minor event (125/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Well beaten both GB starts (1m2f-1m4f); handicapping a better fit, but others appeal more.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (2/1 +56%) Duveen |
2/1(+56%) | (2) Duveen 2/1, Creditable fourth of 5 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 6 days ago. Makes turf debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time and not discounted. Consistent on AW (1m-1m4f); cheekpieces are fitted for turf debut; improvement possible.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/1 +18%) Vitani |
9/1(+18%) | (7) Vitani 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 4 in handicap (18/1) at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 19 days ago. Makes turf debut with more required. Low-key so far and finished last of four (behind Steven Seagull) at Chelmsford recently.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (3.5/1 -75%) Steven Seagull |
3.5/1(-75%) | (6) Steven Seagull 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted much his best effort after 7 months off (also gelded) when second of 4 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 11/1) 19 days ago. Holds good claims off an unchanged mark. Fared better when runner-up at Chelmsford (1m5f) recently; may have positive role to play.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (8/1 -60%) Charlotte Square |
8/1(-60%) | (1) Charlotte Square 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Only sixth of 8 in maiden at Newbury (11f, heavy, 40/1) 10 days ago. Much respected on her handicap debut though. Half-sister to four winners; hasn't shown much yet; tackles fast ground for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (3.5/1 +42%) Sister Of Thor |
3.5/1(+42%) | (3) Sister Of Thor 3.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (8f). Off 139 days. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut with more needed. Some ability as a juvenile (over 1m); steps up in trip for handicap debut and should stay.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary provided, 2/1 (6) STEVEN SEAGULL and the lightly-raced maiden who posted much his best effort after 7 months off (also gelded) have better chances to do well in their upcoming races. 4.5/1 (2) DUVEEN and 5/1 (1) CHARLOTTE SQUARE also hold some potential, while 6/1 (3) SISTER OF THOR, 7/1 (4) DOVENA, 7/1 (5) QUEEN OF STEEL, and 11/1 (7) VITANI may need to show more improvement to be competitive.
STEVEN SEAGULL showed plenty of promise when finishing half a length behind the winner in second on his return to action over an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford last month. He retains the mark from that run and is taken to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Charlotte Square makes her handicap debut off top weight but should not be taken lightly for powerful connections, while Vitani completes the shortlist.
Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for STEVEN SEAGULL to build on his Chelmsford City second and gain a first success off an unchanged mark. Andrew Balding's Charlotte Square could emerge as the chief threat on her handicap debut ahead of turf debutante Duveen.
A low-grade handicap. It's possible that SISTER OF THOR can take a step forward over this more suitable trip (on pedigree) to score.

1st (1) (2.5/1 +25%) Solanna |
2.5/1(+25%) | (1) Solanna 2.5/1, Latest win at Kempton in January. 17/2, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 20 days ago. Wouldn't rule out back on grass under Murphy. In good form, third at Kempton latest; well in the mix back on turf off an unchanged mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6.5/1 +28%) Mc'Ted |
6.5/1(+28%) | (4) Mc'Ted 6.5/1, C&D winner. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 9/1) 12 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly. C&D scorer; saddle slipped when third at Chelmsford 12 days ago; one for the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (4.5/1 -13%) Eljaytee |
4.5/1(-13%) | (8) Eljaytee 4.5/1, 25/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy) on return 17 days ago, kept up to work. Good shout if in the same form. Gained breakthrough success over C&D latest; form been franked so a big player once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (22/1 -340%) Girl Inthe Picture |
22/1(-340%) | (2) Girl Inthe Picture 22/1, Won twice last season. Off 6 months. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Dual 1m scorer in 2022 but ended that campaign below par; needs to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/1 +38%) Habanero Star |
5/1(+38%) | (7) Habanero Star 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. 9/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Goes well here and respected. Won at Southwell but only 8th there since; this C&D winner still can't be dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (6.5/1 +59%) Miss Harmony |
6.5/1(+59%) | (6) Miss Harmony 6.5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. 17/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 19 days ago, missing break. Won at Lingfield but beat only one at Chelmsford 19 days ago; needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (6.5/1 -44%) Rose Camira |
6.5/1(-44%) | (5) Rose Camira 6.5/1, Maiden. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Chris Wall. Could find a small race this year. Beat only one at Kempton on final start for Chris Wall; had wind op; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (10/1 +17%) Medrara |
10/1(+17%) | (3) Medrara 10/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in March. Last of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 31 days ago. Won at Chelmsford but last of seven there following month; she needs to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
4/1 (8) ELJAYTEE seems like a strong contender as they had a breakthrough success over the same course and distance in heavy conditions in their most recent race, with their form being confirmed by subsequent performances.
ELJAYTEE got off the mark on his return to action over C&D last month and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him from backing that up on this occasion. Miss Harmony scored at Lingfield on her penultimate start and is capable of bouncing back from her latest effort at Chelmsford, while others worth noting include Solanna and Habanero Star.
ELJAYTEE saw off a subsequent winner when opening his account on his return here recently and can strike again if in the same sort of form up just 3 lb. Habanero Star goes well at Yarmouth and has to be respected. Solanna is another to note under Oisin Murphy.
John Berry's ELJAYTEE (nap) returned an improved model when scoring over C&D and can defy a 3lb rise with that form having been franked

1st (1) (3.5/1 +22%) Maso Bastie |
3.5/1(+22%) | (1) Maso Bastie 3.5/1, Built on debut promise to get off the mark despite clearly still needing the experience in 8-runner minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 11/8) in December. Sort to progress again now up in trip. Player. Got up late over 1m at Lingfield last December and open to improvement at this longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (1.75/1 -75%) Tempered Soul |
1.75/1(-75%) | (5) Tempered Soul 1.75/1, Massaat colt who came in fourth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 9/4) on debut 48 days ago. Up in trip and can do better. Fourth of 14 on debut and open to improvement on second start; could have a part to play. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 +20%) City Cyclone |
4/1(+20%) | (2) City Cyclone 4/1, Fair maiden who posted a very good third of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 14 days ago. In the mix. Reappeared with good 3rd at Lingfield a fortnight ago and every chance he'll be in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (40/1 -82%) Going To The Moon |
40/1(-82%) | (3) Going To The Moon 40/1, Runner-up in a 1m Nottingham maiden in August but he didn't go on in two subsequent runs, only seventh at Haydock in September. Gelded and up in trip with cheekpieces on for 1st time now. Return to form needed but he's been gelded since last time and showed promise on 2yo debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/1 +64%) Thawg |
9/1(+64%) | (6) Thawg 9/1, 55,000 gns foal, 28,000 gns yearling, Golden Horn filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Caballero Chopper. Appeals on paper so this newcomer is worth a market check. Makes debut against males but with trainer among the winners; potential in pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (12/1 -20%) Calleveryoneuknow |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Calleveryoneuknow 12/1, Modest form shown both runs thus far, fourth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 80/1) 139 days ago. Back up in trip with more needed. Kept on for 4th over 1m (AW) last December; could have more to offer now back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (6/1 +14%) Artisand |
6/1(+14%) | (4) Artisand 6/1, Progressive juvenile maiden who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth in 1m2f Lingfield novice on his return, rushed up after a poor start. Remains with potential. Considered. Disappointing on reappearance in March but he's much better than that & could bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty, but Massaat colt and 4.5/1 (1) MASO BASTIE seem to have a good chance based on their past performances and potential for improvement. 5/1 (2) CITY CYCLONE and 7/1 (4) ARTISAND are also considered as contenders. 25/1 (6) THAWG is a newcomer worth keeping an eye on.
Maso Bastie got off the mark over a mile at Lingfield in December and he has to be respected, although the son of Churchill may struggle to give 9lb to TEMPERED SOUL. George Boughey's colt caught the eye on his debut at Kempton in March and is fully entitled to improve significantly for that outing. Others to note are Artisand and City Cyclone.
MASO BASTIE looked a good prospect when overcoming inexperience to score at Lingfield in December and James Fanshawe's son of Churchill appeals as the sort to go on improving so gets the nod at the chief expense of Artisand, who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Lingfield on his return. City Cyclone and Tempered Soul can both have a say too in an open contest.
A chance is taken on GOING TO THE MOON, who showed promise here on his debut and reappears having been gelded.

1st (9) (6/1 +33%) Cloudy Rose |
6/1(+33%) | (9) Cloudy Rose 6/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 12/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Redcar (16f, soft) 22 days ago. Down in trip. Has good chance on form if bouncing back to her best. 19-race maiden who came closest to a win over 2m; drops back in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (2.5/1 +38%) Cliffs Of Malta |
2.5/1(+38%) | (5) Cliffs Of Malta 2.5/1, 9/2, creditable second of 10 in minor event at Southwell (12.1f) 54 days ago. Shortlisted. Placed in AW classified races on both starts for new stable this year; can't be ignored. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (12/1 +25%) Iconic Mover |
12/1(+25%) | (6) Iconic Mover 12/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Fontwell (19.2f, good). Off 7 months. Back down in trip. Can give a good account returned to this sphere. Placed twice off lowly marks last summer but this 16-race maiden has fitness to prove here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3/1 -20%) Seattle King |
3/1(-20%) | (2) Seattle King 3/1, Cosily won 13-runner handicap at this course (9.9f, good, 9/2) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly nudged up just 2 lb over this longer trip. Finished well to end losing run over 1m2f here ten days ago; well worth a crack at 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (8/1 -78%) Junoesque |
8/1(-78%) | (3) Junoesque 8/1, 8-time course winner. Creditable 2¼ lengths fifth of 13 to Seattle King in handicap (11/2) at this course (9.9f, good) 10 days ago. Well in the mix. Front-runner; well suited by this track and ran quite well on recent seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (9/1 -50%) Global Wonder |
9/1(-50%) | (1) Global Wonder 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. 11/4, fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Down in trip. Can make presence felt. Didn't fire last time but won on AW in February and also has a C&D success on his CV. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (8.5/1 +39%) Urban Forest |
8.5/1(+39%) | (8) Urban Forest 8.5/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (50/1) at this course (9.9f, soft). Off 6 months but no forlorn hope. Signed off in October with two respectable 1m2f runs here and is better suited by 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (14/1 +0%) It's How We Roll |
14/1(+0%) | (4) It's How We Roll 14/1, 12/1, first run since leaving John Spearing when tenth of 13 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to soft) 11 days ago, meeting some trouble. Not discounted. Won twice in 2022 and is effective over C&D but his seasonal debut was disappointing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (28/1 -40%) Harbour Project |
28/1(-40%) | (7) Harbour Project 28/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Only tenth of 13 to Seattle King in handicap at this course (9.9f, good, 33/1) 10 days ago. Others have achieved more. Out of form year, most recently when down the field behind Seattle King here ten days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (100/1 -100%) Miss Malou |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Miss Malou 100/1, Last of 8 in minor event (33/1) at this course (8f, good to firm). Off 10 months. Significantly back up in trip. Something to find on form. Unplaced all seven starts, most recently when beaten 29l here last summer; no appeal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, some horses to consider for potential success include 2.5/1 (2) SEATTLE KING, Cosily, Cliffs of Malta, 4.5/1 (3) JUNOESQUE, and 14/1 (8) URBAN FOREST. 2.5/1 (2) SEATTLE KING has finished well and may perform well over 1m4f. Cosily won a 13-runner handicap at the same course and has been nudged up slightly in weight, indicating potential for success. Cliffs of Malta has placed in AW classified races and had a creditable second place finish in a minor event. 4.5/1 (3) JUNOESQUE is a front-runner and has performed well recently. 14/1 (8) URBAN FOREST has had two respectable runs at this course and is better suited to 1m4f. However, further research and analysis would be needed to make a more informed prediction.
It is hard to look past SEATTLE KING, who arrives in this following a comfortable win over 1m2f at this track last month. He is now rated 2lb higher for that success but that looks unlikely to stop him securing a double here. Junoesque finished behind the selection in fifth last time out and she is 4lb worse off off with that rival here with 7lb claimer Kaiya Fraser replaced by John Gallagher, while Cliffs Of Malta also warrants a market check.
SEATTLE KING got back to winning ways under a patient ride here last time and can defy a 2 lb rise in the weights given he had a bit in hand there. 8-time course winner Junoesque arrives in good order and is next on the list ahead of Southwell-second Cliffs of Malta.
Multiple course winner JUNOESQUE ran quite well behind Seattle King on her recent seasonal debut and may turn the tables.

1st (5) (9/1 -38%) Franco Grasso |
9/1(-38%) | (5) Franco Grasso 9/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam when seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 15/2) 28 days ago. Lurks on a tempting mark. Course winner but only seventh at Southwell on his debut for this yard.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2/1 +33%) Bunker Bay |
2/1(+33%) | (2) Bunker Bay 2/1, Maiden. 6/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) when last seen, running on. Off 6 months. Hood on 1st time. Can surely pick up a race or two this year. Yet to win (0-7) but has yet to finish outside the first three in his four handicaps.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2.25/1 +50%) Thefastnthecurious |
2.25/1(+50%) | (1) Thefastnthecurious 2.25/1, Winner at Southwell in January. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 50/1) 25 days ago. Proven on turf and could bounce back under Murphy. Running well on the AW; 0-5 on turf but his career-best RPR came on good to soft.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4.5/1 -35%) Yorkindness |
4.5/1(-35%) | (4) Yorkindness 4.5/1, Keen-going sort who dug deep to open account in a Hamilton maiden (11f) back in August. Good second of 8 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to soft) on return 13 days ago. She's one to consider. Maiden winner; looks vulnerable off this mark but likely to be on the scene.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (7/1 -27%) Placated |
7/1(-27%) | (7) Placated 7/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D (good to firm) when last seen. Off 7 months. Good chance from a handicapping perspective but might need it. Won well here last summer but then seemingly anchored by a 9lb rise the next time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 -50%) Abraaj |
33/1(-50%) | (6) Abraaj 33/1, Case can be made on his French form but little in the way of promise for this yard. 80/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, heavy) 27 days ago. Down in trip. French winner but heavy defeats in Britain on Flat and over hurdles; others safer.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (11/1 -100%) Sarkha |
11/1(-100%) | (3) Sarkha 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 22 days ago, racing freely. May strip fitter for that return and could offer more on turf debut. Only 9-2 for handicap debut and never got chance to do himself justice.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
3/1 (2) BUNKER BAY seems like the strongest contender based on their consistent record of finishing in the top three, good recent form, and potential for improvement with the addition of a hood. 3.33/1 (4) YORKINDNESS and Keen-going sort also have potential to perform well.
BUNKER BAY proved to be consistent once switched to handicap company, finishing second on three occasions, and the first-time hood could make the difference required for him to shed the maiden tag. Sarkha wasn't disgraced when making his handicap bow at Wolverhampton last month and he is capable of stepping forward, while Yorkindness's second at Beverley gives her every chance to be in the mix.
YORKINDNESS returned with a good effort at Beverley and can build on that with victory. Bunker Bay and Placated both make their seasonal comebacks and should be winning this term.
A chance is taken on SARKHA, who got messed about in a muddling race when better was expected of him on his handicap debut.

1st (2) (12/1 +40%) Maggie's Way |
12/1(+40%) | (2) Maggie's Way 12/1, Fair form in 3 outings over 7f last autumn. Switches to handicap company on reappearance. James Doyle not a regular booking for the stable. Promise among her three 2yo starts and she's not discounted on handicap/seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (1.25/1 +64%) Mexicali Rose |
1.25/1(+64%) | (4) Mexicali Rose 1.25/1, At least matched her 2-y-o form when second of 11 in 7f Leicester novice (heavy) on reappearance. Potential improver in handicaps. Runner-up on heavy-ground reappearance and solid claims for in-form yard in first handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (6/1 +14%) Zarga |
6/1(+14%) | (7) Zarga 6/1, Showed promise in 3 outings as a juvenile and returns to action with her stable in good form. Interesting runner, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Pretty consistent on her three 2yo runs; in top hands and could have plenty more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (6/1 +40%) Eurythmical |
6/1(+40%) | (14) Eurythmical 6/1, Fair maiden who performed with credit when 4¾ lengths third of 9 to the reopposing Molly Valentine on her C&D reappearance 20 days ago. Third to Molly Valentine over C&D three weeks ago and might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (5.5/1 +0%) Creme Chantilly |
5.5/1(+0%) | (11) Creme Chantilly 5.5/1, Confirmed promise of his debut second when seeing off 5 rivals at Chelmsford (1m) last October. Likely capable of better again and big player on handicap debut with William Buick doing the steering. Won last October on second start and pedigree indicates she has potential off opening mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (33/1 -50%) Enola Grey |
33/1(-50%) | (10) Enola Grey 33/1, Won a small-field 1m Pontefract nursery last autumn. Well-held fourth on Wolverhampton reappearance 4 weeks ago and has a more exposed profile than a lot of these. Solid 2yo campaign in the main but she's failed to fire the last twice; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 -14%) Double O |
16/1(-14%) | (1) Double O 16/1, Won a 6f Pontefract maiden and 7f Southwell handicap for David Loughnane last year. Reappears for a new stable which has made a good start to the season with runners from connections. Two-time winner who returns with new yard in good form and is not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (22/1 -120%) Star Child |
22/1(-120%) | (9) Star Child 22/1, Showed improved form to make a successful handicap debut at Chelmsford in January. Off for 4 months ahead of this first outing on the grass. Won on h'cap debut in January and pedigree provides optimism she'll continue to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (22/1 -83%) Nuthatch |
22/1(-83%) | (5) Nuthatch 22/1, Winner of a 6f Chelmsford novice and 7f Southwell handicap this year, flashing her tail under pressure at the latter track but still picking up to good effect to lead in the closing stages. Tackles 1m and turf for the first time now. 2-4 (all on AW); useful pedigree suggests the switch to turf shouldn't be an issue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (16/1 -146%) Flame Of Kodiac |
16/1(-146%) | (12) Flame Of Kodiac 16/1, Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March. Half of her 6 lb rise is offset by Benoit de la Sayette's claim. Could have more to offer for her leading stable. Won on handicap debut in March and could have lots more left in the tank for leading yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (66/1 -100%) Congruent |
66/1(-100%) | (13) Congruent 66/1, Modest form in her 3 starts to date and her opening handicap mark isn't obviously generous. Below par on soft going on sole turf start but not written off in view of previous promise. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary as each horse has its own potential and past performance. However, some horses to consider based on their recent performances and potential include 5.5/1 (11) CREME CHANTILLY, 6.5/1 (12) FLAME OF KODIAC, 7/1 (7) ZARGA, 12/1 (5) NUTHATCH, and 14/1 (1) DOUBLE O. These horses have either won recently or have shown promise in their past performances. It is important to also consider other factors such as the weather and track conditions and the jockey's performance.
In a wide-open event marginal preference is for MEXICALI ROSE, who put in a career-best performance at Leicester last month and an opening mark of 75 may underestimate her ability. Flame Of Kodiac made a winning handicap debut in March and she cannot be discounted. The unexposed Creme Chantilly looks to have a bright future, while Zarga and Star Child also make the shortlist.
MEXICALI ROSE arrives fit from a good reappearance run at Leicester and gets the nod to make a successful handicap debut for Ralph Beckett. Creme Chantilly is another who could have more to offer now switching to handicap company and heads the dangers along with Flame of Kodiac and last-time-out C&D scorer Molly Valentine.
Chelmsford winner CREME CHANTILLY has potential off her opening mark judged on her attractive pedigree.

1st (3) (12/1 -33%) Wisper |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Wisper 12/1, 4-time C&D winner. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (5/4) at Windsor (10f, good to soft), slowly away. Off 6 months but can't be ruled out. Did well for this year last year, winning three times over C&D and once at Windsor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/1 +38%) Crystal Estrella |
10/1(+38%) | (1) Crystal Estrella 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 12/1). Off 7 months but not discounted. Clear winner of Goodwood novice last spring but down the field on h'cap debut in October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (3/1 +0%) Maid In Kentucky |
3/1(+0%) | (8) Maid In Kentucky 3/1, 16/1, won 12-runner minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 38 days ago, always holding on. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut off an attractive mark so she's the one to beat. Form of 1m AW novice win has worked out well; up in trip for turf/handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (28/1 +0%) Rikona |
28/1(+0%) | (4) Rikona 28/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 4-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 7/2) 29 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Arenas Del Tiempo. Firmly in the picture. 3-7 on AW since fitted with a visor in December; latest 4lb rise demands more from her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (7/1 +22%) She's Hot |
7/1(+22%) | (7) She's Hot 7/1, Career best when winning 9-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 5/6). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut and can't be discounted. Consistent during seven-race 2yo season (two wins) but others may have more potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (5.5/1 +0%) Orange Martini |
5.5/1(+0%) | (10) Orange Martini 5.5/1, Promising sort. Second of 11 in minor event (11/1) at Haydock (8f, good). Off 7 months. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Can make presence felt. Signed off with good second in 1m Haydock novice in September; likely improver this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Rich |
4.5/1(+10%) | (5) Rich 4.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. 8/1, good third of 5 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut with more needed. Oaks-entered filly; made encouraging seasonal debut and remains unexposed; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (12/1 +14%) Arenas Del Tiempo |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Arenas Del Tiempo 12/1, C&D winner. Second of 4 to Rikona in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 11/8) 29 days ago, doing too much too soon. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Both AW runs this year were respectable but others have more interesting profiles here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (8.5/1 -70%) Three Priests |
8.5/1(-70%) | (2) Three Priests 8.5/1, Off 9 months before posting a good second of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 54 days ago. Player with few miles still on the clock. Kept on for second on handicap debut in March; good 5lb claimer enlisted here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (11/1 -47%) Pure Gold |
11/1(-47%) | (9) Pure Gold 11/1, Thrice-raced winner. Good fifth of 9 in nursery at Doncaster (8f, good, 12/1), never nearer. Off 7 months. Up in trip with plenty to find at these weights. Denied clear run when fifth in 1m nursery in September; up in trip for seasonal debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
3/1 (8) MAID IN KENTUCKY seems to be the most promising based on the summary, having won a minor event at Lingfield and making her handicap debut off an attractive mark, making her the one to beat. 28/1 (4) RIKONA also has a good record on the all-weather and is firmly in the picture, but Maiden In Kentucky has the advantage of a recent win and being up in trip.
Sir Michael Stoute has only sent five runners to this venue in the last five years and this contest may well go the way of his CRYSTAL ESTRELLA, who makes her seasonal reappearance. The daughter of Iffraaj shed the maiden tag in emphatic style on her penultimate outing, pulling four lengths clear of her next best rival at Goodwood, and the four-year-old can record a second career victory. Three Priests rates the most immediate danger having found only one rival too strong at Newcastle last time out, while Wisper is a consistent customer and completes the shortlist.
George Boughey's progressive filly MAID IN KENTUCKY looks to have been let in very lightly for her handicap bow so is fancied to complete her hat-trick. Roger Varian's Three Priests shaped well when second at Newcastle and is feared most ahead of handicap-debutante Orange Martini who also looks to have better days ahead of her.
Top of the list is RICH (nap), who held her own in a good-quality AW conditions race on her seasonal debut and still has potential.

1st (11) (0.8/1 +54%) Wild Side |
0.8/1(+54%) | (11) Wild Side 0.8/1, Thrice-raced filly. 8/1, second of 7 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) on return 8 days ago. That was much better and she can go close again if building on that, certainly bred to (€225,000 yearling from the family of Golan). Clear second in 6f Pontefract novice eight days ago; she holds very good form claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (28/1 -40%) Ithra |
28/1(-40%) | (4) Ithra 28/1, 40,000 gns yearling, Ardad filly. Half-sister to winner up to 6f Fear Or Favour and 2-y-o 5.3f winner Brazen Safa. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Newcastle (6f, 14/1) on debut, unable to sustain effort. Off 168 days. May well do better. Encouraging start when fifth in 6f Newcastle maiden in November; she can do better now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (7.5/1 -114%) Tajalat |
7.5/1(-114%) | (10) Tajalat 7.5/1, Showcasing filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Sammarr and 1½m winner Jahoori. Lots to like on paper and starts out in a winnable maiden. Lots to recommend her on breeding and also hails from leading yard; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (6/1 +8%) Hakuna Babe |
6/1(+8%) | (3) Hakuna Babe 6/1, 80,000 gns yearling. Roaring Lion filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Starcat and 2-y-o 1m winner Outbreak. Fourth of 12 in minor event (50/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut. Off 6 months. Likely to improve. Fourth in 7f Kempton novice on debut; this daughter of Roaring Lion has more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (8.5/1 -6%) Little Hug |
8.5/1(-6%) | (5) Little Hug 8.5/1, Promise on debut at Newmarket (6f) last summer then pulled up (saddle slipped early) at Nottingham. Off 9 months. Should do better for top yard. Debut 7th in Newmarket maiden; saddle slipped at Nottingham after; remains with potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (18/1 -50%) Morning Colours |
18/1(-50%) | (6) Morning Colours 18/1, Oasis Dream filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1½m winner Tyson Fury and winner up to 7f Eirene, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. One to note on debut. Oasis Dream filly who appeals on pedigree and a much-respected debutante. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/1 -20%) Ayyab |
9/1(-20%) | (1) Ayyab 9/1, 65,000 gns yearling, Adaay filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Velocidad and 1m-11f winner Dajla. Cost plenty for prominent owners and worth a look on debut for in-form yard. Lots to like on paper so this Adaay newcomer needs a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (66/1 -32%) Selenachorus |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Selenachorus 66/1, Twice-raced filly. 22/1, sixth of 11 in minor event at Leicester (7f, heavy) on return 18 days ago. Never dangerous in a pair of novices; daughter of Sea The Moon needs a big step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (22/1 -83%) Rebecca West |
22/1(-83%) | (8) Rebecca West 22/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 13 in minor event (10/1) at Southwell (7.1f) on debut, green and unable to sustain effort. Off 133 days. Open to progress. Debut 9th in 7f Southwell novice in December; in excellent hands and can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (300/1 -200%) Primrose Maid |
300/1(-200%) | (7) Primrose Maid 300/1, Looked a poor maiden last year. Off 6 months. Offered little in five runs as a juvenile; she needs to take a big step forward. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, some horses that could do well are 1.75/1 (11) WILD SIDE, 3.5/1 (10) TAJALAT, 6.5/1 (3) HAKUNA BABE, 7.5/1 (1) AYYAB, 12/1 (6) MORNING COLOURS, and 20/1 (4) ITHRA. However, without more information about the race and the track, it is difficult to make a confident prediction.
WILD SIDE took a decent step forward from her juvenile efforts when second at Pontefract last Monday and the daughter of Kodiac boasts strong credentials to go one better, especially with Oisin Murphy booked for the ride. Tajalat is likely to prove popular on her racecourse bow, with her half-sister being a winner on debut, while Morning Colours, a half-sister to Listed winner Eirene, and Ayyab appeal most of the remainder.
WILD SIDE led pretty much everywhere bar the line on her comeback at Pontefract last week and that was much better from her, so she's taken to open her account now. Tajalat is a likely-looking newcomer for Roger Varian, as is Ayyab for Seb Woods.
Roger Varian's Showcasing newcomer TAJALAT brings plenty of potential and she gets the verdict at the chief expense of Wild Side

1st (4) (3.33/1 +26%) Belhaven |
3.33/1(+26%) | (4) Belhaven 3.33/1, Three wins from 6 runs last year, getting back on the up when successful in 12-runner handicap at Redcar (8f) on final start of campaign. Should be straighter for recent return at same course but others more appealing. Three wins last year and couldn't find a clear run on reappearance; she's one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (12/1 -50%) Sly Madam |
12/1(-50%) | (1) Sly Madam 12/1, Bounced back to form when taking 13-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) last month. Wasn't in same form over a longer trip at Brighton latest but does have underfoot conditions to suit. Unplaced over 1m2f ten days ago but won over 1m two starts ago; respected now back at 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7.5/1 +46%) Farhh To Shy |
7.5/1(+46%) | (2) Farhh To Shy 7.5/1, Won at Doncaster in 2022 but her AW campaign this winter has been underwhelming, most recently when last of 6 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 69 days ago. Up against it back on turf here. Has dropped down the weights but unable to get competitive on AW on last three starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (1.5/1 +0%) Kingmania |
1.5/1(+0%) | (3) Kingmania 1.5/1, Looked as good as ever, on debut for new yard, when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 26 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Just 3 lb higher, back on turf, and holds leading claims. Won on last month's stable debut at Southwell and holds solid claims up 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (4.5/1 +36%) Golden Melody |
4.5/1(+36%) | (6) Golden Melody 4.5/1, Sole success last year came in testing conditions over this trip at Thirsk and posted a solid reappearance at Doncaster last month. Latest effort can be ignored (kicked at start and reportedly lame) and could be a player. Had an excuse last time; won soft ground last September and could be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/1 -157%) Canoodled |
9/1(-157%) | (5) Canoodled 9/1, Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft, 6/1) in October. Returns off 8 lb higher mark but has conditions to suit and must enter calculations. 3-6 on ground slower than good and returns with conditions in her favour. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Based on the summary, 1.5/1 (3) KINGMANIA and 3.5/1 (5) CANOODLED seem to be the most promising horses. 1.5/1 (3) KINGMANIA won on their last stable debut and has solid claims up 3lb, and looked as good as ever on debut for a new yard. 3.5/1 (5) CANOODLED had a career best when winning a 16-runner handicap in October and returns with conditions in her favour. However, 7/1 (6) GOLDEN MELODY could also be a player as she won in testing conditions over the same trip and posted a solid reappearance at Doncaster last month, despite a recent excusable effort. 8/1 (1) SLY MADAM also has potential as she bounced back to form when taking a handicap at Windsor last month. 14/1 (2) FARHH TO SHY seems to be the least promising based on recent form.
James Ferguson has his string in excellent form and KINGMANIA makes plenty of appeal following her stable debut success at Southwell. She benefited from the application of a hood and a 3lb rise may well underestimate her as she attempts to back that victory up. Belhaven is likely to step forward after finishing last at Redcar on her return from a break, while the drop back to a mile is in Sly Madam's favour after the mare pulled too hard when stepped up in trip under a 5lb penalty at Brighton.
KINGMANIA came from a unpromising position when scoring on stable debut at Southwell last month and looks leniently treated. She is fancied to follow up. Canoodled goes well on this sort of ground and is feared most.
A line can be put through the reappearance performance of BELHAVEN, and she is taken to add to the three wins she posted last year.

1st (5) (0.5/1 +32%) Spartan Arrow |
0.5/1(+32%) | (5) Spartan Arrow 0.5/1, Promising type. Improved from debut effort when second of 13 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in September. Should be more to come this season. Needs to learn to settle better but his AW second in September makes him a big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (66/1 -164%) Havana Pusey |
66/1(-164%) | (6) Havana Pusey 66/1, Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to useful 5f-6f winner Major Pusey and 5.7f winner Pusey's Secret. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 5f winner Mornin Reserves. Worth a second look in the market on racecourse bow. From good sprinting family for these connections; market may guide on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2/1 +20%) Estate |
2/1(+20%) | (3) Estate 2/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Ended last campaign with creditable seventh of 10 on handicap debut at Lingfield (5f, AW) in September. Likely contender on return. Gelded since last seen. Second in two 5f novice races last year and not beaten far in a subsequent nursery. |

4th (1) (66/1 -371%) Jacquelina |
66/1(-371%) | (1) Jacquelina 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f, 9/1) 44 days ago. Up against it. Outran 80-1 odds when third on AW two starts ago but the form is modest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 +43%) Morboka |
16/1(+43%) | (7) Morboka 16/1, Once-raced filly. 22/1, seventh of 13 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) on debut 70 days ago. Should have learnt plenty from that outing. 22-1, showed only minor promise when midfield at Southwell (6f, AW) ten weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (66/1 -164%) Dunmore East |
66/1(-164%) | (2) Dunmore East 66/1, Once-raced gelding. 33/1, tenth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 15 days ago. Down in trip. Work to do. Raced too freely and finished well down the field when 33-1 for recent debut (7f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (40/1 -122%) Mark The Sparks |
40/1(-122%) | (4) Mark The Sparks 40/1, Pearl Secret gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Rabbit Power. Dam once-raced. Market check advised on debut. Half-brother to a Czech sprint winner; probably best watched on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
0.73/1 (5) SPARTAN ARROW is predicted to do well based on the summary.
In this competitive contest it may pay dividends to side with the unexposed SPARTAN ARROW, who gave a good account when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time. The son of Sioux Nation cost 380,000gns as a two-year-old and was only denied by a neck on that occasion. The form of that contest has been advertised handsomely and the half-brother to Twilight Gleaming can get off the mark now dropping back in trip. Estate was highly tried last term and must be respected stepping into calmer waters, while Jacquelina can follow them home.
This can go to SPARTAN ARROW, who failed only narrowly to open his account at Wolverhampton in September and promises to offer more this term. Estate looks the obvious danger.
Spartan Arrow is a big danger but ESTATE did very well to be beaten under 2l on his nursery debut and is just preferred.

1st (1) (7.5/1 -25%) Siam Fox |
7.5/1(-25%) | (1) Siam Fox 7.5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Ran respectably under a penalty when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 9/2) when last seen 4 months ago. Others make more appeal. Only 1lb higher than for his win at Wolverhampton; return to turf no bad thing.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (2.75/1 -57%) Grand Libya |
2.75/1(-57%) | (7) Grand Libya 2.75/1, Headgear has evidently had a positive effect this year again and he again ran well when third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 9/2) 48 days ago. Gelded since and has to be taken seriously in his current mood. 0-7 but bang there in two 1m handicaps on the Newcastle AW and the visor is working well.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3.5/1 +22%) Dashing Dick |
3.5/1(+22%) | (5) Dashing Dick 3.5/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 5/2, ran poorly after 10 weeks off when last of 4 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Can get back on track. Consistent run of form in 7f/1m Polytrack handicaps before finishing tailed off on heavy.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (6/1 +0%) Regal Rambler |
6/1(+0%) | (6) Regal Rambler 6/1, Fairly useful maiden who matched exploits for former yard when runner-up in a Newcastle novice (1m) in January. Failed to repeat that effort in cheekpieces at Chelmsford (10f, 13/2) 10 days later but can get involved on turf/handicap debut. 0-5 but denied narrowly on two of those occasions; cheekpieces removed after last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (2.75/1 +21%) Dandy Maestro |
2.75/1(+21%) | (4) Dandy Maestro 2.75/1, 50/1, ran respectably after 4 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Blinkers back on and may feature with Murphy up for the first time. Poorly handicapped since winning three times on turf early last year.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (10/1 -33%) Victoria Grove |
10/1(-33%) | (3) Victoria Grove 10/1, Scored at Chelmsford City in October but not in same form when eighth on both subsequent starts, finding things too competitive at Lingfield (10f, AW) over 4 months ago. Won twice on Polytrack last year under different tactics; as effective on turf.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as each one has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, based on recent form and positive changes, 1.88/1 (7) GRAND LIBYA and 4.5/1 (5) DASHING DICK may be worth considering as potential contenders. 1.88/1 (7) GRAND LIBYA has performed well in two 1m handicaps on the Newcastle AW and has shown improvement with the use of a visor. 4.5/1 (5) DASHING DICK has a consistent run of form in 7f/1m Polytrack handicaps and may rebound from a poor performance in heavy conditions with a return to better conditions.
REGAL RAMBLER could be worth siding with on his turf and handicap debut following a below-par run at Chelmsford over 1m2f in January. A mark of 73 looks workable for the gelded son of Dark Angel and there is likely to be more in his locker. Grand Libya has been consistent of late and remains of interest on his return to turf, while Siam Fox could also bounce back from his most recent run on the all-weather.
Cases can be made for most but GRAND LIBYA has taken his form up a level since fitted with headgear and having been gelded since last seen, Tom Clover's charge gets the tentative nod to open his account. The main threat could be Dandy Maestro, who came good around this time last year and ran respectably after 4 months off at Kempton recently. Regal Rambler can fill out third spot.
William Stone's DASHING DICK was running well before getting stuck in the mud at Leicester and he's taken to win for a third time.

1st (8) (8.5/1 +39%) One For Bobby |
8.5/1(+39%) | (8) One For Bobby 8.5/1, Winner of first 2 starts at Gowran for Johnny Murtagh last May and went on to post a couple of good efforts in more exalted company, including when third of 12 in this grade at Naas (1½m, heavy) on latest start in October. Still, needs to take a step forward on debut for new yard here. Third in Irish Group 2 last July; she's an each-way possible on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (16/1 +36%) Pink Carnation |
16/1(+36%) | (9) Pink Carnation 16/1, Off the mark in a maiden here last spring and was pretty impressive when bagging a 9f Hamilton handicap later in the season. However, she failed to land a meaningful blow in this grade on final 2 starts of that campaign and is likely to come up short once more. Respectable Listed run when last seen but has something to find in this line-up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (22/1 -38%) Annerville |
22/1(-38%) | (2) Annerville 22/1, Just a Leopardstown maiden win to her name and that was gained back in May 2021. Failed to make an impact in 4 starts in Dubai this year and while she put in a good shift when third of 11 in a Cork listed event (1½m, good to soft) recently, others make more appeal here for win purposes. Placed in three Listed races but has an exposed profile and looks vulnerable here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (10/1 -11%) Sunset Shiraz |
10/1(-11%) | (10) Sunset Shiraz 10/1, Placed several times in Group company last season before duly landing the odds in a 1m Gowran maiden in October. Largely creditable efforts thereafter, too, including when fifth on return in a Group 3 at the Curragh where she shaped as though well worth another try at this trip. Encouraging reappearance run and could build on that now back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (4.5/1 -13%) Crystal Caprice |
4.5/1(-13%) | (3) Crystal Caprice 4.5/1, Quickly developed into a useful filly last term, completing the hat-trick in a handicap at Ascot (1m, good) prior to finishing third in a Newmarket listed race. Best to overlook latest effort (reportedly lost action) and she's a big player now upped in trip for last year's winning yard. Stable has won 2 of last 3 runnings; this well-bred 4yo is just the type yard excels with. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (5/1 +33%) Misty Dancer |
5/1(+33%) | (6) Misty Dancer 5/1, Improved when landing a Goodwood maiden in August and further progress when following up in handicaps at Ayr/Newbury last season. Travelled well for a long way in this grade at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) on final start of 2022 and she's not without an each-way chance. Landed h'cap hat-trick before coming up short in Listed race, but not discounted on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (1.88/1 -15%) Golden Lyra |
1.88/1(-15%) | (1) Golden Lyra 1.88/1, Generally progressive save for a disappointing effort in the Galtres Stakes at York last summer (the good ground that day was thought to be against her). Decisive winner of a French listed race (1¼m, heavy) on final start of 2022 and leading claims provided the ground remains on the slow side. Carries 3lb penalty but she was a Listed winner last October and holds leading form claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (100/1 -52%) Hotter Than Hades |
100/1(-52%) | (4) Hotter Than Hades 100/1, Narrow winner of an 11f Killarney maiden in October but has come up short in this grade on each of her 3 subsequent starts. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking significant improvement. Unplaced in Listed races on last three runs; improvement needed in first-time cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (16/1 -78%) Mukaddamah |
16/1(-78%) | (7) Mukaddamah 16/1, Failed to add to debut success in a Wolverhampton novice last year but she often acquitted herself well in good company, not least when fourth in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot. Raced only on good/good to firm on turf so far but she won't be far away if handling conditions. Creditable runs in Group/Listed races last year; improvement needed, but it's possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (9/1 -13%) Life Of Dreams |
9/1(-13%) | (5) Life Of Dreams 9/1, Impressive winner of a Newbury maiden over this trip on debut last spring and subsequently placed twice in Group 3 company. Drop back to a mile against her on return at Kempton and she could have a part to play back up in trip here, provided conditions don't become testing. Ran well in 1m2f Group 3 races last year and not ruled out now back up in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (1) GOLDEN LYRA and 4/1 (3) CRYSTAL CAPRICE seem to be the strongest contenders, with 1.63/1 (1) GOLDEN LYRA having a penalty but holding leading form claims and 4/1 (3) CRYSTAL CAPRICE being a well-bred horse that the stable excels with. 7.5/1 (6) MISTY DANCER and 9/1 (10) SUNSET SHIRAZ also have each-way chances, while the other horses seem to have some weaknesses or need to improve significantly to compete at this level.
Softer conditions appeared to hold the key to GOLDEN LYRA's improvement when running out a comfortable winner of a Listed contest at Saint-Cloud in October, after a disappointing effort at York's Ebor meeting. The daughter of Lope De Vega has to give 3lb to her rivals but, with the ground very much in her favour, the four-year-old is capable of further improvement on just her sixth career outing. Crystal Caprice had excuses on her final outing when losing her action at Lingfield and she remains with a fair amount of potential, especially for stepping up in trip, while Mukaddamah and One For Bobby appear best of the remainder.
Sir Michael Stoute saddled the winner of this last year and CRYSTAL CAPRICE could be another for the yard. You can draw a line through her effort on the all-weather in October, prior to which she looked most progressive and hopes are high that she will kick on again this season now moving up in trip (untried beyond 1m but pedigree augurs well stamina-wise). Golden Lyra rates the main danger, while Sunset Shiraz, who looks the pick of the Irish raiders, is third choice ahead of Life of Dreams.
The lightly raced 4yo CRYSTAL CAPRICE is from a family Sir Michael Stoute has excelled with and she can make a winning return.

1st (4) (8/1 +60%) Confils |
8/1(+60%) | (4) Confils 8/1, Course winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 20 days ago. Others more persuasive. Needs to stage a revival but returning to a sound surface will be in her favour. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2.75/1 +58%) Brilliant Blue |
2.75/1(+58%) | (2) Brilliant Blue 2.75/1, 11/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW), running on. Off 95 days. Has good chance on pick of form. Had wind operation. Hinted at possible return to form on AW in January but not seen again since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (1.62/1 +35%) Rhubarb Bikini |
1.62/1(+35%) | (3) Rhubarb Bikini 1.62/1, Ended lengthy losing run when taking 12-runner handicap over C&D (good) 10 days ago by ½ length from Letter of The Law. 5 lb higher now but must enter calculations. Blinkers on first time. Kept on well to collar Letter Of The Law over C&D ten days ago; likely contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (33/1 -106%) Lucky Mascot |
33/1(-106%) | (1) Lucky Mascot 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (8f) 27 days ago. Up against it. Ex-Irish maiden; will appreciate this ease in grade but others have much less to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (4/1 -14%) Letter Of The Law |
4/1(-14%) | (7) Letter Of The Law 4/1, Posted best effort for some time when ½-length second of 12 to Rhubarb Bikini in handicap over C&D (good) 10 days ago. Claims if in same form again. Has modest 1-24 strike-rate but ran big race in defeat over C&D ten days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (9/1 -80%) Somedayonedaynever |
9/1(-80%) | (8) Somedayonedaynever 9/1, Just out of the handicap but turned in best effort of season when close second of 10 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 46 days ago. Shortlist material. Placed on two of four AW starts this year and this C&D also suits; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (18/1 +10%) Mofridge |
18/1(+10%) | (6) Mofridge 18/1, 50/1, eighth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 14 days ago. Makes limited appeal. Won on Germany last spring but safely held on all three British AW runs this year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (3) RHUBARB BIKINI and 3.5/1 (7) LETTER OF THE LAW seem to be the most likely contenders, with 5/1 (8) SOMEDAYONEDAYNEVER also a strong possibility for an each-way bet. 6.5/1 (2) BRILLIANT BLUE may also have a good chance if they can return to their previous form. The others are less convincing.
RHUBARB BIKINI won a similar event over C&D last month and could be hard to beat based on that evidence, especially as he may improve for the application of first-time blinkers. Letter Of The Law chased home the selection on that occasion and may do so once again, while Somedayonedaynever edges out Okaidi and Ower Starlight to be the pick of the remainder.
SOMEDAYONEDAYNEVER was only narrowly denied her first success at Wolverhampton last time and remains fairly treated. She can make the breakthrough here. Rhubarb Bikini and Letter of The Law look the likeliest dangers.
Richard Hannon's OWER STARLIGHT switches back to turf after a pretty good AW campaign and is given the verdict.

1st (3) (3/1 -84%) Embesto |
3/1(-84%) | (3) Embesto 3/1, 130,000 gns yearling, Roaring Lion colt. Half-brother to useful 7f/1m winner Silent Film and 9f winner Drinks At Vista. Dam 5f (Prix du Petit Couvert)-6.5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Interesting newcomer. 130,000gns yearling; third foal; half-brother to 7f-1m winner Silent Film (RPR 106).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (16/1 +36%) Fly Zone |
16/1(+36%) | (4) Fly Zone 16/1, Once-raced gelding. 14/1, eleventh of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f) on debut, very slowly away. Off 153 days. Type to do better this term. Gelded since last seen. Lost lengths at the start when down the field on sole 2yo start; now gelded.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (2/1 +43%) Umberto |
2/1(+43%) | (12) Umberto 2/1, Posted fairly-useful form both starts thus far, latest when second of 12 in minor event (11/10) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 38 days ago. Likely more to come yet. Strong traveller who has the best form and some handy experience in the bag.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (5/1 +69%) Star Ahoy |
5/1(+69%) | (7) Star Ahoy 5/1, Once-raced colt. Seventh of 14 in minor event (9/2) at Kempton (8f) on debut, not knocked about. Off 153 days. Open to progress. His Kempton 7th wasn't without promise and the form is working out fairly well.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (6.5/1 +28%) Serengeti Sunset |
6.5/1(+28%) | (6) Serengeti Sunset 6.5/1, Twice-raced colt. Left debut form behind when sixth of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (10.2f, 13/2) in November. Back down in trip. Likely to improve. Second run was better than the first and he only weakened out of it late on at Newcastle.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/1 -83%) Covert Legend |
11/1(-83%) | (2) Covert Legend 11/1, Made appeal on pedigree and duly posted promising fourth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (8f) on debut 27 days ago, badly hampered. Should improve and is one for the shortlist. Found some trouble in running when a close fourth at Kempton (1m AW) a month ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (80/1 -100%) Story Horse |
80/1(-100%) | (8) Story Horse 80/1, 65,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath gelding. Brother to smart 9f-12.5f winner Worth Waiting, and half-brother to several winners, including useful 1½m winner From Frost. 65,000gns yearling; 12th foal; brother to 1m1f-12.5f winner Worth Waiting (RPR 111).. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (25/1 +62%) Plus Point |
25/1(+62%) | (13) Plus Point 25/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in minor event (14/1) at this C&D (soft) on debut, missing break. Off 6 months. Will hold stronger claims when qualified for handicaps. Made no impression after starting slowly over C&D in October (soft; 14-1).. |

10th (10) (14/1 -180%) Tajdif |
14/1(-180%) | (10) Tajdif 14/1, Once-raced gelding. 3/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 82 days ago, slowly away. Hood on 1st time. Should progress. Gelded since last seen. Despite a good fourth at Newcastle he's been gelded and is now hooded.. |

13th (5) (66/1 -65%) Golden Moon |
66/1(-65%) | (5) Golden Moon 66/1, 72,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold gelding. Half-brother to 1m-1¼m winner Desert Lion and 7f-1m winner Ayr Harbour, both useful. Dam useful 2-y-o 7f/7.5f winner. 72,000gns yearling; probably one to watch on this belated debut.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
1.63/1 (3) EMBESTO and 6/1 (2) COVERT LEGEND seem to be the most promising based on their pedigrees and past performances. 3.5/1 (12) UMBERTO, 5/1 (10) TAJDIF, 9/1 (6) SERENGETI SUNSET, and 16/1 (7) STAR AHOY also have some potential for improvement. The others may need more experience and time to develop.
Runner-up on both career starts, UMBERTO can have a big say in proceedings based on what he has shown to date. He is entitled to be sharper for his return to action at Lingfield in March, although a first-time hood could see Tajdif build on a fair fourth at Newcastle on debut and he can give the selection plenty to think about. Newcomers Embesto and Story Of Peace are others worthy of a market check.
Preference is for COVERT LEGEND, who met plenty of trouble in running when an encouraging fourth on debut at Kempton last month. He should have learnt plenty from that. Umberto and Serengeti Sunset are also open to improvement and may provide the chief threat in what promises to be an informative contest.
A dangerous betting race with a lot of these open to improvement. UMBERTO just about sets the standard and he can improve some more.

1st (1) (18/1 -29%) Thunderbear |
18/1(-29%) | (1) Thunderbear 18/1, Won at Fairyhouse in September and should build on his Bellewstown comeback. Interesting if he can dictate matters. May have needed last month's reappearance but best form has come on good ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (1.25/1 +38%) Mutaany |
1.25/1(+38%) | (3) Mutaany 1.25/1, Set a good standard and duly delivered as he made his final 2-y-o start a winning one in 6f Brighton novice, travelling well and coming clear. His form has a solid look to it and he looks a 3-y-o sprint handicapper to follow having been gelded. Form of Brighton win reads well; gelded since and could be set for a good campaign. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (2.25/1 +44%) Open Market |
2.25/1(+44%) | (7) Open Market 2.25/1, Successful debut in Ireland last year and has made a solid start in handicaps in recent weeks, caught late at Yarmouth (6f) 7 days ago, looking the most likely winner heading inside the final 1f only to be collared by one that looked more straightforward under pressure. Player off the same mark. Headstrong but good 2nd from the front on both runs last month; can make another bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3.5/1 +22%) Wen Moon |
3.5/1(+22%) | (2) Wen Moon 3.5/1, Scored at Ripon last summer and returned with a bang having been gelded to land 6f Pontefract handicap in the mud 3 weeks ago. Raised 3 lb and could have more to offer. Reappeared with a win at Pontefract, having been gelded, and he could have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 +0%) Maggie's Tern |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Maggie's Tern 12/1, Should find a race on what she showed at 2 yrs (went close at Leicester over this trip second start). A break may have helped & Hollie Doyle is 5-22 for this yard; no surprise to see bold show. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It is difficult to predict with complete certainty which horse will perform the best based on this summary, as each has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, 2/1 (3) MUTAANY Form of Brighton seems to have a solid record and potential for improvement after being gelded, making him a strong contender as a 3-y-o sprint handicapper to follow. 4.5/1 (2) WEN MOON also has potential for improvement after being gelded and recently winning a 6f Pontefract handicap in the mud. 12/1 (6) MAGGIE'S TERN has a promising jockey and a potential for a bold show after taking a break. 14/1 (1) THUNDERBEAR has a good track record on good ground and could be interesting if he can control the race. 4/1 (7) OPEN MARKET and 4/1 (5) FOX MASTER have had some success but may need to show improvement to compete against the other contenders. 22/1 (4) IBIZA LOVE is a wildcard as a new addition to the stable and may not be as appealing as the other horses.
This represents a drop in class for Wen Moon, who scored over this trip at Pontefract off 3lb lower on his most recent outing. He can have a big say in proceedings here, but FOX MASTER is entitled to improve following a fair fifth at Newcastle on his latest run in February. He is well related and could make his presence felt on his turf debut. Open Market was only narrowly denied at Yarmouth last month and should not be taken lightly, while Mutaany has been gelded for his reappearance and adds further spice to the race.
MUTAANY hails from a good Shadwell line and looks a 3-y-o sprinter to keep on side having won well at Brighton when last seen. He can make a successful return/handicap debut for a yard who have had plenty go well first time back in recent weeks. Open Market went close at Yarmouth and is respected off the same mark. Pontefract-winner Wen Moon is also considered.
Well-bred MUTAANY (nap) could be on a good mark even before factoring in the possibility of improvement on this first run since gelded.

1st (10) (2.25/1 +10%) Lucid Dreams |
2.25/1(+10%) | (10) Lucid Dreams 2.25/1, Promising type. Second at Fakenham on her hurdling bow before coming in third of 8 in bumper at this course (17.4f, soft) 18 days ago. Has more to offer. Player. Late starter has shown promise both recent starts; seems sure to play a role here. |

2nd (11) (3.5/1 +61%) Make The Plan |
3.5/1(+61%) | (11) Make The Plan 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 10/1, fifteenth of 21 in novice hurdle at Naas (15.5f, good to soft) 65 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Not really progressing in maidens, seems a more likely one for handicaps. |

3rd (4) (25/1 -14%) Arnacoeur |
25/1(-14%) | (4) Arnacoeur 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Third of 13 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (15f, good to soft, 80/1) on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Can build on it now. Too keen but definite promise at Kilbeggan; needs to settle better. |

5th (2) (7/1 -133%) Laelaps |
7/1(-133%) | (2) Laelaps 7/1, Promising individual. Useful winner at 8f on flat. Fourteenth of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 25/1) 38 days ago, very slowly away. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Considered. Too keen on hurdles bow; likely more to offer if hood works here. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
2.5/1 (10) LUCID DREAMS Late starter and 8/1 (13) MEN OF DREAMS are the two most promising horses based on their recent performances and potential to improve. 12/1 (1) EMERIC is also worth considering as a progressive AW performer making his hurdles debut. The others have either shown little promise or have too much to prove to be considered strong contenders.
LAELAPS will need to settle better than on his hurdling debut at Naas in February but has a leading chance if doing so. The Andrew McNamara-trained gelding boasts some smart form on the level, having attained a triple digit handicap mark at one stage. He showed enough on his initial outing over flights to suggest he can be a force in this company. Lucid Dreams shaped well on his racecourse debut at Fakenham in March but was slightly disappointing at this track last time. The eight-year-old reverts to hurdles now having run in a bumper most recently. Trainer John Ryan is always a man to respect at this particular venue. Men Of Dreams took a major step forward when third on his hurdling debut at Kilbeggan last month. A reproduction of that effort would see the Johnny Levins-trained gelding play a leading role.
The market can reveal plenty but LUCID DREAMS has shown enough when second on her hurdling bow and when a recent bumper third here to suggest she can open her account. Kilbeggan-third Men of Dreams and hurdling-newcomer Emeric could emerge as the chief threats to the selection in a very open contest.
Back on better ground it may pay to keep the faith with STAR HARBOUR, whose Leopardstown third looks just about the best form on offer

1st (5) (6/1 +14%) Autumn Flight |
6/1(+14%) | (5) Autumn Flight 6/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, soft, 9/1) 7 days ago. Needs considering. Made all on AW in March (6f) and was placed on recent turf return (5f); shortlisted. |

2nd (6) (7.5/1 +17%) Madrinho |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (20/1 +20%) Liberty Bay |
20/1(+20%) | (11) Liberty Bay 20/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 36 days ago. Others appeal more. Regressive mare who hasn't won since 2021; difficult to enthuse over. |

6.5/1(+54%) | (7) Minhaaj 6.5/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 54 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Brian Ellison and no forlorn hope. Suited by this C&D and makes stable debut from a good mark; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (10/1 +64%) Mr Pc |
10/1(+64%) | (10) Mr Pc 10/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. 10/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 21 days ago. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Placed three times here in 2022 but this year's AW form is uninspiring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (6.5/1 +7%) Haveagobeau |
6.5/1(+7%) | (8) Haveagobeau 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Shortlisted. Unexposed 4yo who made promising handicap debut in October; back from break today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (4.5/1 -13%) Hagia Sophia |
4.5/1(-13%) | (1) Hagia Sophia 4.5/1, 5/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm). Off 8 months but still needs factoring in. In very good form when last seen last August but has fitness to prove today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (11/1 -47%) Rainbow Sign |
11/1(-47%) | (9) Rainbow Sign 11/1, 9/1, good third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 29 days ago. In the picture off the same mark. Dual 7f winner; ran quite well on AW last month but this drop back to 6f is not ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (33/1 -32%) Bluebell Way |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Bluebell Way 33/1, 100/1, only ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 10 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Twice soundly beaten for new stable this spring; back in trip with cheekpieces tried here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (14/1 -211%) Mcqueen |
14/1(-211%) | (2) Mcqueen 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 19 days ago. Blinkers back on. Not taken lightly. Consistent over 7f+ on AW since last autumn; contests his first sprint race today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (5.5/1 -10%) No Speed Limit |
5.5/1(-10%) | (3) No Speed Limit 5.5/1, Ex-Irish gelding who shaped well on his first run for new yard when fading fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago. Holds good claims. Made satisfactory stable debut on AW last month; competes off his lower turf mark here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (1) HAGIA SOPHIA seems to have the best chance of winning given her previous good form and win in a handicap race. For 2nd place, 14/1 (2) MCQUEEN and 6.5/1 (7) MINHAAJ are both consistent performers with recent good runs, so they could potentially finish in the top three. For 3rd place, 6/1 (5) AUTUMN FLIGHT has shown good form on both turf and AW and could be a strong contender.
AUTUMN FLIGHT was only beaten a length into third off this mark over 5f at Yarmouth a week ago and the step back up in trip should only help his chances here. Madrinho made the frame over 7f at this venue recently and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of No Speed Limit and Rainbow Sign.
The ex-Irish NO SPEED LIMIT made an encouraging start for George Baker when fifth at Kempton after a lay-off and can build on it here at the chief expense of the handily-weighted McQueen. Lingfield-third Rainbow Sign and the returning Hagia Sophia also need factoring into a very open handicap.
The one with some potential is HAVEAGOBEAU, who was unlucky not to finish a bit closer to the target when fourth on his handicap debut.

2nd (3) (18/1 -64%) Red Maids |
18/1(-64%) | (3) Red Maids 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in nursery (13/2) at Kempton (7f), finding little. Off 146 days. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Tongue strap on 1st time. Must improve. Last at Kempton in December; much more needed for her new yard in first-time tongue-tie. |

3rd (10) (4/1 +20%) Risotto |
4/1(+20%) | (10) Risotto 4/1, Below par when sixth on handicap debut at Lingfield latest but had posted an encouraging reappearance at Chelmsford previously and warrants respect. Runner-up at Chelmsford but only sixth at Lingfield 34 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

22/1(-57%) | (9) Margaret's Fuchsia 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/1) 29 days ago. Makes turf debut. Cheekpieces back on. Others more appealing. Last tried blinkered at Lingfield last time; can bounce back to form on her turf debut. |

5th (4) (12/1 -118%) Liberty Mountain |
12/1(-118%) | (4) Liberty Mountain 12/1, Improved on final start last year, winning 5-runner minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 11/4) in October. Returns to handicapping on a decent mark and must enter calculations. Won Lingfield novice in October; needs considering on her seasonal return back on turf. |

6th (2) (10/1 +0%) Hot Chesnut |
10/1(+0%) | (2) Hot Chesnut 10/1, 5/1, last of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) 10 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Too free when last at Nottingham 10 days ago; should take a step forward off reduced mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (6/1 -80%) Kodias Sangarius |
6/1(-80%) | (1) Kodias Sangarius 6/1, First run for new yard when creditable second of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 27 days ago, conceding first run. Races off same mark and is one for the shortlist. Good Kempton 2nd for new yard on return; merits serious consideration off unchanged mark. |

8th (8) (6/1 +40%) Zara's Return |
6/1(+40%) | (8) Zara's Return 6/1, 4/1, last of 5 in minor event at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 27 days ago. Still looking for first success. Looked rusty after 8 months off when last at Nottingham latest; can take a step forward. |

9th (7) (10/1 +0%) Pending Appeal |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Pending Appeal 10/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 22/1) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. In good nick on the AW until last at Kempton 13 days ago; can't be totally dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (3/1 +73%) Miss Mai Tai |
3/1(+73%) | (6) Miss Mai Tai 3/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/1) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. Beat only one for her new yard in 6f Wolver handicap last time; she needs to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, the horse that is most likely to do well is 3.33/1 (1) KODIAS SANGARIUS. It has recently finished in second place in a handicap race and is racing off the same mark, which makes it a strong contender. Additionally, it is described as
Despite hanging right in the closing stages, KODIAS SANGARIUS hit the line with plenty of conviction when runner-up at Kempton last month and gets the nod to relish this step back up in trip. A mark of 71 may still underestimate the four-year-old's ability and she can be on the premises yet again. Liberty Mountain was last seen landing the spoils at Lingfield and she is the most immediate danger on seasonal reappearance, while Invested is another to consider.
KODIAS SANGARIUS made a good start for her new yard at Kempton last month and is entitled to build on that. She can land the spoils. Liberty Mountain and Risotto are feared most.
Henry Spiller's KODIAS SANGARIUS made a promising start when runner-up at Kempton last time and can go one better off an unchanged mark

1st (6) (2/1 +50%) Starnight |
2/1(+50%) | (6) Starnight 2/1, Low-key start to her career but improved despite not being seen to best effect on handicap debut when mid-field at the Curragh (6f, heavy) just over a fortnight ago. Should have more to offer on her first outing on these shores. Some promise in big field on handicap debut (6f, heavy); capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.5/1 +17%) Ghost Lights |
2.5/1(+17%) | (1) Ghost Lights 2.5/1, Promise in maidens/minor event this year and wasn't seen to best effect on handicap debut when fourth at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/4) 32 days ago, needing a stronger gallop. Fancied to be in the mix on turf debut. Best work late on 6f AW handicap debut; first turf run; dam bred winners on yielding/soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (18/1 -157%) River Naver |
18/1(-157%) | (2) River Naver 18/1, Finished down the field on 3 outings last year for William Haggas and failed to take a step forward on return sent handicapping (in cheekpieces) when fifth at Bath 11 days ago. More required. Minor form as 2yo; couldn't pick up on debut for new yard but should improve a little. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 -100%) Silks Graphite |
4/1(-100%) | (5) Silks Graphite 4/1, Took a step forward from his reappearance when runner-up at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) 17 days ago, slightly inconvenienced by the winner drifting across him. Fully-fledged rider takes over and looks to have serious claims of going one better. Best form so far when runner-up in his second 6f handicap; A Atzeni replaces 7lb claimer. |

5th (4) (4.5/1 +47%) Insolente |
4.5/1(+47%) | (4) Insolente 4.5/1, Modest maiden who ran respectably in a first-time visor when fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) in January. Failed to repeat that effort at Kempton 11 days later and has since left Alice Haynes. Headgear left off. Promise in sprints as 2yo; struggled for latest yard; sold 1,000gns; needs weight off back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/1 -38%) Cloud Queen |
11/1(-38%) | (3) Cloud Queen 11/1, Found some improvement when fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) on return last month but not in the same form at Southwell since. Back at 6f and bounce back required in first-time headgear. Promising handicap debut over 7f on AW; never in the hunt since; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform well based solely on this summary, but 2/1 (5) SILKS GRAPHITE and 3/1 (1) GHOST LIGHTS both have promising recent form and potential for improvement. 4/1 (6) STARNIGHT also has some potential and may do well in her first outing on these shores. 7/1 (2) RIVER NAVER and 8.5/1 (4) INSOLENTE have less promising recent form and may struggle to perform well.
A fairly weak contest in which preference is for SILKS GRAPHITE. Runner-up over this trip at Yarmouth last month, the gelded son of Brazen Beau is fancied to break his duck at the sixth time of asking. Ghost Lights finished a fair fourth at Lingfield in March and is interesting on his turf debut, while River Naver completes the shortlist for powerful connections.
SILKS GRAPHITE took his form up a notch when runner-up at Yarmouth last month and with a fully-fledged rider back on board, Darryll Holland's charge is fancied to open his account. Ghost Lights is put forward as the main threat on turf debut for the in-form Charles Hills, with Irish-raider Starnight rounding off the shortlist.
At least SILKS GRAPHITE has shown he can handle soft ground and his latest Yarmouth run was his best yet. Ghost Lights is next best.

0.62/1(-17%) | (5) Banntown Girl 0.62/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. Respectable second of 13 in novice hurdle (8/11) at this course (17.4f, soft) 18 days ago, no match for winner. The one to beat.

10th (4) (50/1 +38%) Singing The Blues |
50/1(+38%) | (4) Singing The Blues 50/1, Once-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 16f on flat. First run since leaving Rod Millman when tenth of 12 in novice hurdle at this course (17.4f, soft, 66/1) on NH debut 18 days ago. Tame hurdles debut over C&D last month and probably best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (150/1 -50%) Old Lonesome Me |
150/1(-50%) | (10) Old Lonesome Me 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 12 in novice hurdle at this course (17.4f, soft) 18 days ago. No sign of ability in three runs, latest over C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (150/1 -50%) Brogue Belle |
150/1(-50%) | (14) Brogue Belle 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Sligo (16.9f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Tailed off in three starts over hurdles, hard to make any sort of case for; tried hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (16/1 -60%) Irish Envoy |
16/1(-60%) | (2) Irish Envoy 16/1, Twice-raced winner in bumpers. Fourteenth of 15 in bumper (7/1) at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft). Off 12 months. Makes hurdles debut. Bumper winner back from over year's absence for hurdles debut and has to be respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (15) (33/1 +0%) Dreamscomethrough |
33/1(+0%) | (15) Dreamscomethrough 33/1, €35,000 3-y-o, Kingston Hill mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Ribble Valley and useful 2m hurdle winner Bombs Away. Some paper appeal. Check the betting. Newcomer best watched unless market suggests otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RO| (9) (6/1 +14%) Marciano |
6/1(+14%) | (9) Marciano 6/1, Promising sort. 22/1, fifth of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.6f, heavy) on NH debut 26 days ago. Likely to improve. Looked in need of further at Clonmel so likely best watched for now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The prediction is that 0.53/1 (5) BANNTOWN GIRL will do well, as she has had recent success and is considered the favorite. 3/1 (6) CONYERS HILL also shows promise and should progress, but 0.53/1 (5) BANNTOWN GIRL is considered the one to beat. The other horses have either not shown much ability or are newcomers without much to judge them on.
Given her excellent form over hurdles in seven starts to date, it is hard to believe that BANNTOWN GIRL is still a maiden in this discipline. The Sonny Carey-trained mare, who has been placed at Listed level, finished third in a Grade B handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival and was second to a subsequent Punchestown winner last time. It will be a surprise if she can't get her head in front here. Conyers Hill has finished third on his first two starts for present connections so has to enter calculations. He will need to improve in order to beat Banntown Girl but the five-year-old hasn't been with Paul Nolan all that long. Marciano made a satisfactory racecourse debut when fifth behind Conyers Hill at Clonmel but has more scope for improvement than the O'Grady horse.
BANNTOWN GIRL let favourite backers down here last time but has the best form and gets one more chance. Conyers Hill is shaping up nicely and can give the selection most to do ahead of Marciano, who showed promise when fifth on last month's Clonmel debut.
Second in a similar mares' event last month to a subsequent Punchestown festival winner, BANNTOWN GIRL can go one better here

1st (3) (3/1 -60%) Taskheer |
3/1(-60%) | (3) Taskheer 3/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Posted good fourth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 6 days ago, running on. Remains on a fair mark and not taken lightly. High in the weights and 1m suits better, but has less to prove than most of these.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6.5/1 +0%) Spanish Mane |
6.5/1(+0%) | (5) Spanish Mane 6.5/1, C&D winner. 22/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 17 days ago. Not out of things. Ideally wants fast ground so can be forgiven her soft-ground failure 17 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3/1 +25%) Broxi |
3/1(+25%) | (1) Broxi 3/1, Completed hat-trick at this sort of trip last autumn. Failed to stay 8f latest and is only 1 lb above last winning mark. Shortlisted. 1m was too far on soft last time; not handicapped out of it.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/1 -25%) Old News |
5/1(-25%) | (2) Old News 5/1, 12/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 77 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on pick of form. Capable of better form than he's been showing of late.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (16/1 -33%) Shorts On |
16/1(-33%) | (6) Shorts On 16/1, 20/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Only win came at Southwell and his last two runs have been very poor (cheekpieces/visor).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (2.75/1 +39%) Luna Queen |
2.75/1(+39%) | (4) Luna Queen 2.75/1, Back to winning ways at Lingfield (7f) last month. Below form over same C&D latest but can't be ruled out here. First at Lingfield and third here before struggling from a wide draw last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (50/1 +24%) Artemisia Gentile |
50/1(+24%) | (7) Artemisia Gentile 50/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (10.1f, good to soft, 100/1). Off 6 months. Significantly back down in trip. Hood back on. Not easy to make a strong case for. 1 lb out of the weights. Returning to 7f is probably the right move but still opposable in her current form.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (3) TASKHEER and 4/1 (1) BROXI seem to be the strongest contenders. 1.88/1 (3) TASKHEER has been performing well recently with 2 wins from 4 runs this year and a good fourth place finish in a recent handicap race. 4/1 (1) BROXI has previously completed a hat-trick at this distance and is only 1 lb above his last winning mark. 4.5/1 (4) LUNA QUEEN and 6.5/1 (5) SPANISH MANE also have potential but may not be as strong as 1.88/1 (3) TASKHEER and 4/1 (1) BROXI. The other horses seem to be less convincing choices for a potential winner.
Taskheer has landed the spoils on two of his last three outings and the son of Golden Horn is a big player. That said, all of his three career victories have come over further than this and it may be best to side with BROXI. The handicapper has continued to loosen their grip on the C&D winner and he may be able to bounce back from a lacklustre effort at Windsor now stepping into calmer waters. Spanish Mane posted a respectable effort when fifth at this venue last month and she completes the shortlist.
BROXI is on a workable mark and will be suited by the return to this shorter trip. He gets the nod in the finale. Taskheer and Luna Queen look the likeliest dangers.
In his current form TASKHEER appeals as the most likely winner, even though he's perhaps better at 1m.

1st (7) (3.33/1 +45%) Mutabaahy |
3.33/1(+45%) | (7) Mutabaahy 3.33/1, Six-time C&D winner but it's now 40 runs since his last win in 2021. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Southwell (6f) 26 days ago, never nearer. Multiple C&D winner but on a losing run and slow starts are now commonplace. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/1 +18%) Reversion |
7/1(+18%) | (8) Reversion 7/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 6 days ago but had been a creditable fourth over C&D prior to that. Visor back on. Not at his best at Lingfield last week and he has the widest stall to contend with today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (18/1 +28%) Red Allure |
18/1(+28%) | (1) Red Allure 18/1, C&D winner but well held on both outings for new yard. Blinkers replace visor. Three turf wins last year but yet to find her form for new trainer; something to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/1 -25%) We're Reunited |
5/1(-25%) | (5) We're Reunited 5/1, C&D winner. 5/1, creditable third of 9 in classified event over C&D on reappearance 57 days ago, unable to sustain effort. One to consider. Good third over C&D 8 weeks ago & weighted to reverse placings with Rockley Point; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (16/1 +20%) Iconicdaay |
16/1(+20%) | (10) Iconicdaay 16/1, Poor maiden. Last of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft, 33/1) 28 days ago. First-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to have a positive effect. Placed over C&D in December but she hasn't progressed; new headgear today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (12/1 +40%) Cavalryman |
12/1(+40%) | (9) Cavalryman 12/1, Poor form. 100/1, seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 26 days ago. Unplaced in all six starts and he needs to raise his game to trouble the principals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 -33%) Rockley Point |
4/1(-33%) | (3) Rockley Point 4/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Good second of 11 over C&D 21 days ago. Bold show likely. Two more wins on Tapeta this season and went very close over C&D latest; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (10/1 +38%) Next Second |
10/1(+38%) | (4) Next Second 10/1, C&D winner. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (40/1) at Thirsk (5f, soft) on reappearance 28 days ago. Two C&D wins last summer and on a good mark if bouncing back; happiest when leading. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (4.5/1 +59%) Pandemic Princess |
4.5/1(+59%) | (2) Pandemic Princess 4.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, creditable seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (6f) 7 days ago. On a reduced mark and last two runs here have threatened better; lively outsider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (100/1 -300%) Majestic Charm |
100/1(-300%) | (11) Majestic Charm 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1 and tongue strap on first time, last of 6 in novice at this course (6f) 35 days ago. Makes handicap debut. First realistic opportunity now handicapping but she'll need to be sharper at the start. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary provided, 3/1 (3) ROCKLEY POINT and 4/1 (5) WE'RE REUNITED seem to have the strongest chances of winning the race. 3/1 (3) ROCKLEY POINT has two wins on Tapeta this season and a very close second over C&D in its latest race, while 4/1 (5) WE'RE REUNITED has proven form over C&D and is weighted to reverse placings with 3/1 (3) ROCKLEY POINT. 5/1 (6) BANKRUPT and 11/1 (2) PANDEMIC PRINCESS also have competitive form and could be considered as contenders. The other horses are either out of form or still unproven and would need to improve significantly to win.
ROCKLEY POINT (second) and We're Reunited (third) were only be separated by a neck when the pair met over course and distance in March. The former has subsequently gone even closer when beaten a short heard at this venue and the consistent 10-year-old gets the tentative vote to record a 10th victory on his 114th career start. The latter must be respected with a 3lb swing in his favour, while Bankrupt can also have his say.
ROCKLEY POINT arrives in good nick and can gain compensation for his near miss over C&D last month. We're Reunited was a good third on his C&D reapperance and is second choice ahead of Bankrupt.
We're Reunited and Rockley Point are solid but PANDEMIC PRINCESS has hinted of late that a revival could be on the cards.

1st (2) (9/1 +10%) Can't Stop Smiling |
9/1(+10%) | (2) Can't Stop Smiling 9/1, Promising sort. Creditable fifth of 14 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Naas (16.3f, soft) 33 days ago. Likely more to come on handicap debut. Maiden promise here last summer; one to consider now on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (8/1 +11%) Skip Mahler |
8/1(+11%) | (13) Skip Mahler 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Twelfth of 20 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Cork (16f, soft) 22 days ago. Hood back on. Others preferred. Plenty to find from recent handicap debut run at Cork with McGrath From Clune. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4.5/1 +40%) Ballinlough Gale |
4.5/1(+40%) | (4) Ballinlough Gale 4.5/1, 7/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Claims on best form. Recent efforts below his best so needs to bounce back but possible given the drying ground. |

4th (5) (6.5/1 +7%) Hard Rain |
6.5/1(+7%) | (5) Hard Rain 6.5/1, 11/4, good third of 7 in novice chase at Cork (20f, heavy) 115 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Not discounted. Consistent sort entitled to be thereabouts back hurdling. |

5th (8) (12/1 -71%) Run Like Fada |
12/1(-71%) | (8) Run Like Fada 12/1, 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good). Off 8 months. Others more persuasive. Last year's third on seasonal debut clearly goes well fresh and not one to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (3.33/1 +5%) Mcgrath From Clune |
3.33/1(+5%) | (7) Mcgrath From Clune 3.33/1, Good second of 20 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Cork (16f, soft) 22 days ago, left with lot to do. 3 lb rise fair and is one for the shortlist. Cork second augurs well; definite contender. |

7th (12) (6.5/1 +0%) Take My Hand |
6.5/1(+0%) | (12) Take My Hand 6.5/1, 6/1, good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Likely contender. Recent Tramore second augurs well here around a sharp track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (80/1 -841%) He Picked Us |
80/1(-841%) | (6) He Picked Us 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (15f, good to soft, 10/1) 12 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Return to better ground should suit but opening mark looks on the high side. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (33/1 -18%) Buzz Light |
33/1(-18%) | (9) Buzz Light 33/1, Course winner. 125/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (18.9f, heavy) 75 days ago, behind when pulled up before 3 out. Hard to fancy. Maiden winner here in 2021 but recent form far from encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (14) (18/1 +10%) Got Grey |
18/1(+10%) | (14) Got Grey 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.6f, good to soft) 80 days ago. Work to do. Tame handicap debut effort latest raises questions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (12/1 +40%) Peace Party |
12/1(+40%) | (10) Peace Party 12/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17f, soft, 9/1) 127 days ago. Can make presence felt. Last year's second back from a break and has to be respected given his record around here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (22/1 +12%) Presenting Lad |
22/1(+12%) | (11) Presenting Lad 22/1, One win from 24 NH runs. 25/1, unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.3f, good). Off 6 months. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Engaged 2.10 Down Royal Monday. Back from winter break and may just need this. |

|PU| (1) (33/1 -18%) Itsalonglongroad |
33/1(-18%) | (1) Itsalonglongroad 33/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.1f, soft, 16/1) 16 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others preferred. Struggled over fences over the winter and of limited appeal back hurdling. |

|PU| (15) (66/1 -230%) Chequer Square |
66/1(-230%) | (15) Chequer Square 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, ninth of 12 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. May well do better. Unexposed 4yo entering handicaps; market may prove best guide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Based on the summary, McGrath From Clune and 6.5/1 (12) TAKE MY HAND are the most likely contenders, with 7/1 (5) HARD RAIN and 7.5/1 (4) BALLINLOUGH GALE also having strong claims. 10/1 (2) CAN'T STOP SMILING is a promising sort to consider on handicap debut, while 20/1 (10) PEACE PARTY has a good record around here and could make an impact. The reserves, 25/1 (11) PRESENTING LAD, 33/1 (18) FORGE ROAD, and 50/1 (16) OSKAR HIGH, are unlikely to pose a serious threat to the top runners.
RUN LIKE FADA could be primed for this contest having finished a close up third in the corresponding race last season. Although the Eoin McCarthy-trained gelding failed to win in four subsequent outings, he did run well when second on his next start. Perhaps, he is one who is best caught fresh. McGrath From Clune seems sure to go well, having finished runner-up at Cork last time. Shane Fenelon renews the partnership on this occasion and that has to be a huge positive in a race of this nature. Can't Stop Smiling caught the eye here in a maiden hurdle last August and should be sharper now having had an outing at Naas in March. If the Aidan Howard-trained mare isn't let down by inexperience, then she is a serious threat to all.
This can go to MCGRATH FROM CLUNE, who took his form up a notch when runner-up at Cork last month and still looks on a handy mark. Can't Stop Smiling and Take My Hand should also go well.
An open handicap in which TAKE MY HAND gets the nod ahead of McGrath From Clune on account of her proven ability on the ground

1st (1) (1.62/1 +41%) Appier |
1.62/1(+41%) | (1) Appier 1.62/1, Progressive in 3-y-o handicaps, gaining fourth career successover C&D in September. Creditable efforts in defeat since, including when third in 10-runner Pontefract handicap on return 3 weeks ago, having to pick way through and running on. Shortlisted. Five wins in 2022 including C&D off 3lb lower; sound 3rd on reappearance; strong contender. |

2nd (2) (4.5/1 -29%) Citizen General |
4.5/1(-29%) | (2) Citizen General 4.5/1, Much-improved in handicaps during second half of last year, signing off with back-to-back C&D victories in the autumn. Not ideally placed and shaped as if he'd come on for his Southwell run 32 days ago and he may yet have more to offer as a 4-y-o. Dual C&D winner in 2022; well beaten on reappearance and no easy task off current mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 -33%) Wolf Of Oxshott |
4/1(-33%) | (4) Wolf Of Oxshott 4/1, Shed maiden tag over 10f here in October. Disappointed at Lingfield on final start for Joseph Parr but right back on track 9returning from 5 months off) when good second of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 27 days ago, conceding first run. May have more to come at this trip. Won over 1m2f here last term; good 2nd on comeback run (1m4f); worth considering. |

4th (6) (3.33/1 -21%) Bristol Hill |
3.33/1(-21%) | (6) Bristol Hill 3.33/1, C&D winner who comes here in fine form, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts at WOlverhampton 912.2f) 17 days ago, quickening to lead over 1f out and asserting quickly. 4 lb higher now but he's a definite player in this sort of form. In good form recently (C&D winner in March); pulls hard so tactical race wouldn't suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 +0%) Heatherdown Hero |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Heatherdown Hero 10/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in October. First run since leaving Michael Bell when below form fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 11/1) 29 days ago, forcing pace and no extra having been headed 2f out. Entitled to be sharper with that under his belt. Strong puller; won over 1m6f on AW in 2022; chance if he settles better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (28/1 -56%) Gold Arch |
28/1(-56%) | (3) Gold Arch 28/1, Temperamental sort. First run since leaving David Evans when ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 16/1) 32 days ago, ridden over 2f out and soon beaten. That was his first start for 19 months and this ought to reveal more. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has won 4 times at Wolverhampton; well beaten after a break on stable debut; best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the information provided, it seems that 2.75/1 (6) BRISTOL HILL and 2.75/1 (1) APPIER are the strongest contenders for the race. 2.75/1 (6) BRISTOL HILL has won at the course and distance before and is in good form with two wins in his last three starts. 2.75/1 (1) APPIER has also won at the course and distance and has had five wins in 2022, including one at the course off a lower mark. He also had a creditable third-place finish in his most recent race despite having to pick his way through the field. 3/1 (4) WOLF OF OXSHOTT and 3.5/1 (2) CITIZEN GENERAL may also have a chance if they can improve on their most recent performances. The other three horses, 10/1 (5) HEATHERDOWN HERO, 18/1 (3) GOLD ARCH, and Temperamental sort may not be as strong contenders based on their recent form.
APPIER ran with a fair amount of credit when third on his return from a break at Pontefract and the four-year-old, a C&D winner in September off a 3lb lower mark, may have further improvement to come. Wolf Of Oxshott commands plenty of respect based on his head second at Wolverhampton last month, while Bristol Hill arrives in excellent form having won two of his last three outings.
BRISTOL HILL has been in fine form operating from his much-reduced mark in recent weeks, making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts at Wolverhampton 17 days ago and he holds sound claims of coming out on top again. Pontefract eye-catcher Appier and Wolf of Oxshott are others to consider.
In a tricky race that could become tactical, the progressive C&D winner APPIER is taken to beat Wolf Of Oxshott.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, some horses with good chances are 4/1 (8) ANOTHER ANGEL, 5.5/1 (2) BUNGLE BAY, 6.5/1 (5) CATESBY, and 8/1 (6) COAST, as they have won over the C&D track and have performed consistently in recent races. 8.5/1 (1) COME ON GIRL and 12/1 (3) Q TWENTY BOY are also capable of performing well, but have not won in a while. Horses like 5/1 (7) FAIR AND SQUARE, 18/1 (4) YAAHOBBY, 18/1 (12) HARD SOLUTION, and 40/1 (10) GHARBEYIH have shown inconsistent form and may have a lower chance of winning. Ultimately, it depends on the specific conditions of the race and the performance of the horses on the day.
Despite finding plenty of trouble in running, Fair And Square gave a good account when travelling powerfully to finish third at Lingfield last time out. The four-year-old demands the utmost respect, but he has questions to answer stepping up in trip. With that in mind, preference goes to ANOTHER ANGEL, who has been steadily improving on his last three runs over course and distance. The son of Dark Angel was only denied from recording successive wins by an unexposed rival and he can go one better in this contest. Jumira Bridge completes the shortlist.
COAST will be suited by the return to 6f and is back on her last winning mark so she gets the vote. Another Angel can extend her run of good C&D efforts and fill the forecast spot ahead of Come On Girl, who tends to be a force when her mark gets down into the 50s.
Another Angel should go well again but CATESBY has a good record here and the luck was against him last week.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Based on the summary, the horse with the best chance of performing well would be 2/1 (13) SHOWURAPPRECIATION. This is because it has shown improved form in its last race, and is significantly up in trip which should suit its style of running. The other horses either have inconsistent form, are unproven in this distance, or have shown little promise in their past races.
SHOWURAPPRECIATION who was well punted when a staying on third at Gowran Park in March should enjoy the step up in trip here. The Jonathan Sweeney-trained gelding seemed to find the minimum trip too sharp on that occasion but stuck to his task well in the straight. Although this sharper track may not play to his strengths, his ability might see him home in front. Friends N Commerce has been a consistent sort in both maiden and handicaps of late although he is surely vulnerable off a rating of 111. Having said that, he seems adaptable tripwise and shouldn't have any issues with this track. San Martino has been gradually getting his act together over flights so it would be no surprise to see this one-time smart Flat horse take a hand in the finish.
This step up in trip is likely to unlock improvement in SHOWURAPPRECIATION, who was doing his best work at the finish when third in a big-field over 2m at Gowran last time. He is marginally preferred to Friends N Commerce, who deserves to pick up a race and is likely to make a bold bid to shed his maiden tag here. Easy Fella is best of the rest, though Trackman Tommy is also worth a second look.
FRIENDS N COMMERCE has run to his mark in handicaps of late and was 3.25l ahead of Easy Fella in a Limerick maiden the time before.

5th (4) (4.5/1 +44%) Coconut Bay |
4.5/1(+44%) | (4) Coconut Bay 4.5/1, 14/1 and hooded for 1st time, possibly unsuited by ground/trip when ninth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, heavy) 20 days ago. Won over 1m2f on AW last term; not done as well for this yard; capable of better. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (4/1 +38%) Lord Torranaga |
4/1(+38%) | (1) Lord Torranaga 4/1, 7/1, possibly unsuited by conditions back on turf when fifth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, heavy) 20 days ago. Can get back on track. Not the easiest to catch right; return to AW is a plus and is well handicapped now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the information provided in the summary, 6.5/1 (1) LORD TORRANAGA and 5/1 (7) OSCAR DOODLE appear to be the most promising options for success in the upcoming race. 6.5/1 (1) LORD TORRANAGA returns to the favorable surface of the all-weather track and is well handicapped, while 5/1 (7) OSCAR DOODLE has a previous win over the course and distance and could bounce back from a poor performance. However, it is important to note that any predictions are subject to factors such as track and weather conditions, jockey performance, and unforeseen circumstances during the race.
A line can be put through WE STILL BELIEVE's latest effort here due to him finishing lame and the five-year-old is better judged on his C&D success the time before. A return to that kind of form may see him bounce back in a contest lacking depth on paper. Oscar Doodle arrives with something to prove after a below-par display at this track in January, but the four-year-old has been freshened up since and may enter calculations along with Coconut Bay, who is of interest back on the all-weather.
WE STILL BELIEVE opened his account for the year over C&D in March, and with his latest effort easily excused (finished lame), Daragh Bourke's charge is fancied to regain the winning thread. Oscar Doodle needs to put a below-par effort behind him, but he may emerge as the main danger after a break, with Lord Torranaga rounding off the shortlist.
Dual course winner OSCAR DOODLE is taken to bounce back after a break. Coconut Bay is next best.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
1.88/1 (7) PEONY Solid is predicted to do well in this race.
PEONY displayed plenty of promising signs when keeping on for second at Kempton last time out and the daughter of Churchill can shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking. There are plenty of potential dangers, though, including the most experienced runner in the field, Annie Maher, who has placed on four of her five outings. My Turn Now was by no means disgraced when fifth over course and distance last time and she may be able to take a step forward.
PEONY is the pick on form and might be able to get off the mark at the fourth time asking. Harriet's Angel showed promise amidst greenness on her debut and should be wiser now. Reminder and Howyoulikemenow are newcomers to monitor closely in the betting.
Annie Maher can go well once more but PEONY has shown more than enough to think she could win a similar event.

Based on the summary, 11/1 (12) BUGSCUFFLE and 11/1 (7) MAGNETIC NORTH seem like strong contenders as they have shown recent ability in handicap hurdles and are not out of it. 4.5/1 (3) EVERYSTEP OFTHEWAY and 8.5/1 (9) COSMO RENFRO also have potential, with 4.5/1 (3) EVERYSTEP OFTHEWAY placing third in a recent handicap hurdle and 8.5/1 (9) COSMO RENFRO having a decent run on their handicap debut. It will be interesting to see if the money comes in for 4/1 (5) GETAWAY TRAIN again, but their recent showing of mucus at the nostrils post-race could be a cause for concern. The other horses are either reserves or have not shown recent form that suggests they will do well in this race.
A wide-open contest, with point-to-point winner GETAWAY TRAIN given the chance to redeem himself. The subject of a gamble at Clonmel in February, he failed to fire there and was later reported to have mucus in his nostrils post-race. A case can be made for many others with Everystep Oftheway likely to prove a popular choice. A fine third of 23 at Naas on his most recent start, he is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time now. Chelseas Friend has a course win to her name and can make her presence felt, while first reserve Glenmalure Lodge would be a threat to all if getting a run. A five-time winner on the level, Magnetic North is an interesting contender on what will be his handicap debut over flights. Will It Be You is trained by the shrewd Liam Cusack and is out of a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Nil Desperandum. The Court Cave gelding is surely better than what he has shown to date, and it'll come as little surprise if he attracts support in the market.
HANOI JANE has races in her for sure and looks the way to go after another eye-catching effort at Limerick. Everystep Oftheway and Bugscuffle are feared most.
HANOI JANE was a disappointing favourite on soft at Limerick last time but could leave that behind on this better ground.

1st (2) (0.91/1 +44%) Inquiring Minds |
0.91/1(+44%) | (2) Inquiring Minds 0.91/1, Kingman colt. Dam, winner up to 1¾m (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to useful 1¼m/10.4f winner This Is The Day. Lots to like on paper and interesting to see what the market has to say. Kingman colt out of a 1m-1m6f winner; newcomer; looks the pick of the Gosden duo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (1.62/1 -17%) Laser Guided |
1.62/1(-17%) | (3) Laser Guided 1.62/1, Promising type. 9/4, second of 8 in minor event at this course (8f) when last seen in January. Up in trip and tongue strap on 1st time. Open to further improvement. Kingman colt; second over 1m here in January; 1m2f should suit; sets the standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4.5/1 -35%) Boldly |
4.5/1(-35%) | (1) Boldly 4.5/1, Galileo colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Anchorage. Dam unraced half-sister to 1¼m-1½m winner Vadawina and 1¼m/11f winner Vadapolina (both smart). Top yard also saddles Inquiring Minds and the market should point the way in terms of which colt is the better-fancied. Well-bred Galileo colt; interesting newcomer but Robert Havlin prefers Inquiring Minds. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (250/1 -213%) Eva Rosie |
250/1(-213%) | (5) Eva Rosie 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 250/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at this C&D 19 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Two modest efforts here so far and handicaps look more likely when qualified. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (100/1 -25%) Sea Girt |
100/1(-25%) | (4) Sea Girt 100/1, Sixties Icon gelding. Dam, winner up to 8.3f (2-y-o 7f winner), also won over hurdles. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner. Dam won over 7f/1m on the Flat; stable's newcomers usually improve for a run.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (2) INQUIRING MINDS and 1.38/1 (3) LASER GUIDED are the most likely contenders for doing well. 1.63/1 (2) INQUIRING MINDS is a newcomer with lots of potential based on its breeding, while 1.38/1 (3) LASER GUIDED has already had a promising performance over a similar distance at the same course. The other entries, 3.33/1 (1) BOLDLY and 80/1 (4) SEA GIRT, are also newcomers but are less favored based on the preferences of their jockeys and their breeding. 80/1 (5) EVA ROSIE, on the other hand, has shown modest efforts and may be better suited for handicaps.
John and Thady Gosden saddle two interesting newcomers in Boldly, a full-brother to Our Anchorage who placed in a Group 3 as a juvenile for Aidan O'Brien, and Inquiring Minds, whose dam was a Group 3 winner over 1m6f. Preference of the pair goes to the latter, but the experience of LASER GUIDED's two outings to date, along with the application of a tongue-tie, may be enough for him to get off the mark at the third attempt. He wasn't disgraced in finishing sixth on debut to a potential Group performer in Like A Tiger at Kempton and shaped as though a step up in trip would aid his cause when runner-up here in January.
Newcomer INQUIRING MINDS ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Stablemate and fellow newcomer Boldly also boasts good credentials but Laser Guided, who stepped up on his debut effort when runner-up over a mile here in January, is feared most now faced with a stiffer test.
John Gosden has introduced some smart newcomers here over the years so INQUIRING MINDS is selected to make a winning debut for the yard

1st (6) (4/1 -20%) Savrola |
4/1(-20%) | (6) Savrola 4/1, Made steady progress at 3 for Chris Wall, including a 1m win at Haydock. Appeals as one who can go on to better things for his new stable. Signed off for Chris Wall with a progressive profile in handicaps from 1m to 1m2f.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7.5/1 -50%) Daheer |
7.5/1(-50%) | (5) Daheer 7.5/1, Five-time C&D winner. Creditable third of 9 in C&D handicap 36 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts. All five wins have been here and he could have done with a stronger pace last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/1 +14%) Phantasy Mac |
6/1(+14%) | (4) Phantasy Mac 6/1, Course winner. Five wins from 16 Flat runs, the latest at Kempton in October. Very good second of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford (1m) 5 days ago. Back to form with a second at Chelmsford and returning here is a positive.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (50/1 -25%) Harbour Vision |
50/1(-25%) | (9) Harbour Vision 50/1, C&D winner. 14/1, fifth of 7 in handicap over C&D 21 days ago. Fully effective over this C&D but just seems to have lost his edge.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (2.25/1 +25%) Francesi |
2.25/1(+25%) | (3) Francesi 2.25/1, Good second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (1m) on reappearance 26 days ago. Tongue strap back on. One to consider. Twice placed over C&D and returned from being gelded with a close second.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (28/1 -27%) Conservative |
28/1(-27%) | (7) Conservative 28/1, 22/1, last of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 30 days ago. Something to find on form. Ran poorly last time on soft ground; a player on his previous fourth over C&D.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (18/1 -80%) Captain Kane |
18/1(-80%) | (1) Captain Kane 18/1, Prolific from a low base in handicaps last year, winning 7 times. Offered little sent hurdling at Huntingdon in January and never figured back on the Flat at Chelmsford (13f) in February. Quite high in the weights now after a very productive 2022 campaign.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (9/1 +10%) Dembe |
9/1(+10%) | (2) Dembe 9/1, Course winner. Started 2023 with 3 good runer-up efforts but not at his best on his last 2 starts. Cheekpieces worn last time are quickly discarded. Four wins came in succession during the opening half of last year; last two not his best.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (5/1 +9%) English Spirit |
5/1(+9%) | (8) English Spirit 5/1, C&D winner in March. Good second of 6 back here since, just failing. Respected. Up the weights for his recent good runs here but should be on the scene once more.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Based on the summary, 7/1 (4) PHANTASY MAC seems to be the strongest contender as they have recently returned to form and have a good track record with both a course win and multiple flat wins. Additionally, they had a very good second in their most recent race only 5 days prior. 3/1 (3) FRANCESI and 5/1 (5) DAHEER also have a good track record with multiple C&D wins, but 7/1 (4) PHANTASY MAC seems to be the most promising based on the summary provided.
A case can be made for several of these, including Francesi, who made a pleasing return to action when finishing half a length back in second over a mile at Southwell last month. He has proven consistent enough in the past to suggest he can play a leading role here, but ENGLISH SPIRIT filled the runner-up spot over C&D last month and he can go one better off 1lb higher. Daheer and Phantasy Mac are others to bear in mind.
It's worth taking a chance on the fitness of SAVROLA as this unexposed 4-y-o appeals as one who can go on to better things for his new trainer James Ferguson. Francesi was a fine second on his Southwell reappearance and is feared most ahead of English Spirit.
Preference is for FRANCESI who has twice been competitive here and he ran a nice first race after being gelded.

1st (9) (6.5/1 +19%) Senecia |
6.5/1(+19%) | (9) Senecia 6.5/1, Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. 33/1, back on track when 8¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Hiddenvalley Lake in Gr 3 hurdle at Cork (24f, soft) nearly 5 months ago. Makes chase debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (0.62/1 +15%) Hercule Du Seuil |
0.62/1(+15%) | (3) Hercule Du Seuil 0.62/1, Smart form over hurdles, winning 3 out of 4 starts this season, latest in 6-runner Grade 2 Hardy Eustace Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) 23 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Hunters Yarn, finding extra when tackled 2 out. Makes chase debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (14/1 +30%) Changing The Rules |
14/1(+30%) | (1) Changing The Rules 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fell at fourth when mid-divison in beginners chase at Tipperary (17.5f, soft, 9/2) 2 weeks ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (8/1 +6%) Hamundarson |

5th (5) (50/1 -150%) Look Dont Touch |
50/1(-150%) | (5) Look Dont Touch 50/1, Fair hurdler. Bit below form tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Naas (15.6f, good to soft) 80 days ago. This his second outing over fences and will need to show much more than he did back in 2021. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (50/1 +0%) Vocito |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Vocito 50/1, Fair hurdler. 40/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f) in November. Makes chase debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (200/1 +0%) Hutchie |

|F| (11) (3.33/1 +17%) Roseys Hollow |
3.33/1(+17%) | (11) Roseys Hollow 3.33/1, Useful hurdler. Not quite reached that level over fences yet, 17 lengths third of 5 to Impervious in Gr 2 chase at Cork (16.7f, soft, 17/2) around 5 months ago. Should find this much easier so is in with a shout. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (8) (50/1 -100%) Rumi |
50/1(-100%) | (8) Rumi 50/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. 25/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ran poorly when seventh of 9 in minor event hurdle at Naas (16.3f, soft) 33 days ago. Makes chase debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (7) (150/1 -50%) Natural Ability |
150/1(-50%) | (7) Natural Ability 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 100/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, pulled up in beginners chase at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
0.73/1 (3) HERCULE DU SEUIL is likely to do well based on the fact that he has a smart form over hurdles and has won 3 out of 4 starts this season, including a Grade 2 race. Additionally, he is making his chase debut, which could potentially work to his advantage as he may be able to transition well to chasing.
This looks a match between two of the three JP McManus-owned contenders, with marginal preference for ROSEYS HOLLOW, who is in receipt of a mares' allowance. A Grade 3 winner over flights, the selection has some good efforts to her name since switching to the larger obstacles. She finished a place ahead of Instit on her most recent start at Cork, with that one since winning twice, finishing a clear second to Impervious at Punchestown on Friday last. Hercule Du Seuil has three wins to his name from six career starts and is likely to go off a warm order favourite. Successful in Grade 2 company at Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday, he starts off over fences now and is sure to be well-schooled for this assignment. Senecia and Hamundarson are others that warrants respect. The former ran much better than the bare result would suggest when fifth in a good quality contest at Cork in December.
HAMUNDARSON made an encouraging debut in this sphere after 14 months off when runner-up at Leopardstown just over 8 weeks ago, and with further progress on the cards, Gordon Elliott's charge can open his account second time up. Hercule du Seuil has enjoyed a fine season over hurdles so he may emerge as the main danger on chasing debut, with Roseys Hollow third on the shortlist.
Given a clear round HERCULE DU SEUIL should prove very hard to catch around here on chasing debut

1st (5) (6/1 +14%) Indication Rocket |
6/1(+14%) | (5) Indication Rocket 6/1, Ran creditably after 5 months off when fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/2) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and will need to step forward again to feature. Runner-up here (1m2f) last September and fared okay on recent Southwell return (1m). |

2nd (3) (16/1 -60%) Hidden Code |
16/1(-60%) | (3) Hidden Code 16/1, Took a small step forward back up in trip when 2 lengths fourth of 5 to Profitar Rules in handicap at this course (7.1f, 15/2) 19 days ago, running on. Might come on for latest run and has possibilities now upped to 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7.5/1 -88%) My Roxanne |
7.5/1(-88%) | (6) My Roxanne 7.5/1, 8/1, very fortunate to open her account when winning 5-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 12 days ago, leading line as the progressive Concorde was heavily eased. Enters calculations from the same mark. Fortunate winner at Chelmsford (1m) recently; same mark and rates a threat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (2.25/1 +63%) Inverinate |
2.25/1(+63%) | (2) Inverinate 2.25/1, 9/2, never involved when seventh of 11 on nursery/all-weather debut at this course (7.1f) 6 months ago. Visor on 1st time. Slowly away on 7f handicap debut last October; absent since; first-time visored. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5.5/1 -38%) Aihawawi |
5.5/1(-38%) | (1) Aihawawi 5.5/1, Again ran well when second of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/4) 7 days ago, headed approaching final 1f having had run of race. Fancied to be in the mix once again. Improved form when runner-up on last two starts over 7f; first attempt at 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (8.5/1 -240%) Profitar Rules |
8.5/1(-240%) | (8) Profitar Rules 8.5/1, Visored for 1st time, showed much improved form when winning 5-runner handicap at this course (7.1f, 11/1) 19 days ago by length from Aihawawi, suited by way race developed to lead final 50 yds. Expected to be bang there from just a 2 lb higher mark. Off the mark over C&D in a first-time visor and now just 2lb higher.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (3/1 +57%) Goblet Of Fire |
3/1(+57%) | (7) Goblet Of Fire 3/1, 3/1, wasn't seen to best effect having a first try on the all-weather when fourth of 13 on nursery debut at Kempton (7f) 7 months ago, left poorly placed. Not one to discount from such a lowly mark just yet. Missed the break when well backed for handicap debut last September; yard in form.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (66/1 -100%) Winter Moon |
66/1(-100%) | (4) Winter Moon 66/1, 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, never dangerous when eighth of 9 on handicap debut at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 8 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) at Windsor last week. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (8) PROFITAR RULES seems like the most likely contender as it won its last race and is only 2lb higher. 4/1 (1) AIHAWAWI also has improved form and has been a runner-up in its last two starts, so it could also be a strong competitor. 4/1 (6) MY ROXANNE and Goblet of Fire have both won before but are not as consistent as the top two choices. The others have not shown impressive recent form and may not be likely to win.
MY ROXANNE was handed an unlikely first career victory when getting up on the line to get the better of the well-fancied Concorde at Chelmsford last time out. Despite the bizarre nature of the closing stages, the three-year-old arrives here on the same mark and may well go close again. Aihawawi has been knocking on the door of late and rates the most immediate danger, while Indication Rocket looks best of the rest.
PROFITAR RULES had a bit up his sleeve when accounting for Aihawawi at this course just under 3 weeks ago, and with this step back up to 1m holding no fears, Tom Dascombe's charge is fancied to confirm those placings with that rival once again. My Roxanne was a fortunate winner at Chelmsford recently and she looks best of the remainder.
A tight looking affair in which a trio are closely matched. The vote goes to the recent (fortunate) Chelmsford winner MY ROXANNE.

1st (3) (8/1 +50%) Sainte Colette |
8/1(+50%) | (3) Sainte Colette 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 14/1) when last seen 153 days ago. Had previously shown promise in a novice event and now sports first-time cheekpieces. Her standout run came here when beaten 3l in a C&D novice; now in cheekpieces.. |

2nd (7) (6.5/1 -8%) Kingston Joy |
6.5/1(-8%) | (7) Kingston Joy 6.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Lingfield in February. Eighth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (12.1f) 56 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Possibilities if able to get back on track. Made a winning handicap debut at Lingfield and just never gave her running next time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 +29%) Bookmark |
5/1(+29%) | (1) Bookmark 5/1, Last of 7 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 22 days ago. Has dipped to an attractive mark but record stands at 0-8 on the AW. Last on her reappearance here but wasn't beaten far and found some trouble.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (2.5/1 +25%) Lunar Shadow |
2.5/1(+25%) | (6) Lunar Shadow 2.5/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 20/1) 32 days ago, driven out. Nudged up just 2 lb and should have a part to play if able to build on that. Winning hurdler and her second win on the Flat when holding on over this far at Lingfield.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (2.2/1 -10%) Haven Lady |
2.2/1(-10%) | (2) Haven Lady 2.2/1, Good second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 5/1) 18 days ago. Very much one to consider off the same mark here. Running well and perhaps in front too early when narrowly held at Southwell.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (33/1 -83%) Casa Luna |
33/1(-83%) | (4) Casa Luna 33/1, 25/1, below form fourth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, heavy) 20 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Bought for 16,000gns in February and since has been comfortably held in three handicaps.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (10/1 -122%) Silence Is Golden |
10/1(-122%) | (5) Silence Is Golden 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 150/1) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip for this handicap debut and significant step forward needed. Beaten just under 9l in her three qualifying runs; likely improver now handicapping.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
3.33/1 (6) LUNAR SHADOW is the most likely horse to do well based on the summary, as she has recently had a career-best win in a handicap race and has only been nudged up 2 lbs in the handicap, suggesting that she still has room for improvement. Additionally, the summary notes that she should have a part to play if she can build on her recent success.
HAVEN LADY has been knocking on the door of late and must hold every chance of going one better following a good second over 1m6f at Southwell off the same mark, despite stepping up in class from that outing. Silence Is Golden makes her handicap debut following a disappointing run over a mile at Kempton last month and is feared up in trip, while Lunar Shadow scored on her return to action in March and completes the shortlist.
The vote goes to HAVEN LADY, who deserves to get her head back in front having hit the crossbar on each of her last 4 starts, including over this C&D in March. Bookmark is on a good mark judged on her turf form but she's yet to strike on the all-weather and bigger threats may be posed by Lunar Shadow, who looked better than ever when narrowly prevailing at Lingfield last time. Sainte Colette failed to make an impact on her handicap debut when last seen but is worth another chance.
KINGSTON JOY can show the benefit of a break and return to her winning form at Lingfield.

1st (3) (18/1 +0%) Say It Ain't So |
18/1(+0%) | (3) Say It Ain't So 18/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in April 2022. Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Killarney (20f, good, 33/1), going in snatches. Off 8 months.

4th (10) (2/1 +69%) West Breeze |
2/1(+69%) | (10) West Breeze 2/1, Respectable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Cork (24.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago, having run of race. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly down in trip. Improved over hurdles lately; solid chance off an 8lb lower chase mark today. |

5th (6) (3.5/1 -40%) Battle Of Mirbat |
3.5/1(-40%) | (6) Battle Of Mirbat 3.5/1, Winner in chase at Leopardstown in March. 10/3, creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at Limerick (17.5f, soft) 37 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Booking of McDonagh a plus. Should go well again. Solid run behind an improving mare at Limerick last time; up another 3lb for that. |

6th (5) (6.5/1 +41%) Union Park |
6.5/1(+41%) | (5) Union Park 6.5/1, Latest win in chase at Thurles (16.7f) in February. 11/1, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Was 11l behind Pats Choice at Fairyhouse last time and needs to return to his best. |

7th (8) (22/1 -144%) Scalor |
22/1(-144%) | (8) Scalor 22/1, Career best when winning 14-runner novice chase at Thurles (18f, good to soft, 25/1) 180 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Not taken lightly. All out to win a Thurles novice in November; can run well after a break and considered. |

8th (7) (9/1 +18%) Golden Sandbanks |
9/1(+18%) | (7) Golden Sandbanks 9/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this season. Twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Progressive chase form last term; poor over hurdles last time; chance if bouncing back. |

|PU| (9) (20/1 -122%) Red Striker |
20/1(-122%) | (9) Red Striker 20/1, Confirmed promise of his chase debut effort when readily landing a C&D handicap in September. Seemingly not himself over hurdles later that month but he returns to action with potential intact over fences. Not discounted. Off the mark in this sphere over C&D last term; went up 9lb and will have to pull out more. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Based on the summary, the horse with the best chance of doing well appears to be 2.5/1 (6) BATTLE OF MIRBAT. The horse has been consistently performing well, with a solid run behind an improving mare at Limerick last time and a creditable second in a handicap chase at Limerick 37 days ago. The booking of McDonagh is seen as a plus, and the horse is expected to go well again. Other horses that could do well include 3/1 (4) PATS CHOICE, 6.5/1 (10) WEST BREEZE, and 9/1 (8) SCALOR.
The most valuable race of the evening, with BATTLE OF MIRBAT the suggestion for the grandfather, grandson combination of Michael and Mark McDonagh. An easy winner on his handicap debut at Leopardstown, he since finished second at Limerick. Queen Jane won that Greenmount Park contest and she gave the form a boost at Punchestown, falling at the last when still in with every chance. Golden Sandbanks is given second preference with Kieran Callaghan taking a valuable 7lb off. A four-time winner last year, the Paul Flynn trained-gelding has yet to finish outside the first two in three starts over fences. Pat's Choice is a consistent performer and can make his presence felt, while others that warrant respect are West Breeze and course winners Union Park and Red Striker.
Off the mark at Leopardstown on his penultimate start, BATTLE OF MIRBAT ran at least as well in defeat behind another progressive sort at Limerick in March and, with his rider taking off a handy 5 lb, he could well be the answer here. Pats Choice arrives in form and is feared, along with the returning Red Striker, who remains open to improvement in this sphere.
Having run as well as could be expected last time behind Punchestown big race winner Dinoblue, PATS CHOICE can score down in class.

1st (1) (0.06/1 +45%) Covey |
0.06/1(+45%) | (1) Covey 0.06/1, Promising type who opened account in 7-runner maiden at Newmarket (7f, soft, 5/6) 14 days ago, impressively. Likely more to come and difficult to oppose. Ready Newmarket maiden winner (7f) a fortnight ago; penalised but impossible to oppose.. |

3rd (2) (9/1 +78%) Dancing Cloud |
9/1(+78%) | (2) Dancing Cloud 9/1, Twice-raced colt. Built on debut effort when eighth of 15 in maiden (28/1) at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) in October. Since joined new connections. Ex-Joseph O'Brien; sold for 31,000gns; looks the likeliest threat to Covey. |

5th (3) (150/1 -50%) Mane Man Boris |
150/1(-50%) | (3) Mane Man Boris 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden (200/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 21 days ago. Faces a stiff task. Triple-figure odds and soundly beaten on both AW starts (5f/8.5f); impossible to consider.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It is likely that 0.11/1 (1) COVEY Ready will do well in the upcoming race, as the summary describes the horse as impossible to oppose and having recently won a maiden race at Newmarket.
This looks like the perfect opportunity for the John & Thady Gosden-trained COVEY to record a second career victory after emphatically justifying favouritism at Newmarket last time out. The son of Frankel is somewhat unlucky to not have his an unbeaten record still intact, having bumped into an improving rival on his racecourse debut, and he gets the nod. Keeponbelieving showed glimpses of promise when third at Newcastle on her latest outing and may claim minor money, while Dancing Cloud can follow them home.
This looks a simple opportunity for COVEY to add to his Newmarket victory before going on to tougher tests. Keeponbelieving gets the nod for the forecast.
The recent Newmarket scorer COVEY possesses a bright future and, in all likelihood, will prove himself to be a cut above these rivals.

3rd (2) (25/1 +0%) White Mist |
25/1(+0%) | (2) White Mist 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving Richard Fahey when eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and tongue strap on 1st time. Bought for only 5,500gns and she was beaten 12l on her stable debut at Kempton.. |

4.5/1(+25%) | (5) Moondial 4.5/1, Good third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 12/1) 15 days ago. Possibilities off the same mark here with that run under her belt. Won a Kempton nursery (7f) and back at that venue she was third two weeks ago.. |

18/1(+10%) | (8) Vaudevillian 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 32 days ago. Others make more appeal. Five defeats include two handicaps at about 1m, finishing down the field.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (6.5/1 -86%) Alaskan |
6.5/1(-86%) | (10) Alaskan 6.5/1, Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 6/1) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has to enter calculations. Placed in two of his three handicaps and going beyond 6f for the first time should benefit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, 3.5/1 (10) ALASKAN and 6/1 (5) MOONDIAL seem to have the strongest chance of doing well in the upcoming race. 3.5/1 (10) ALASKAN has placed in two of his three previous handicaps, and going beyond 6f for the first time should benefit him. Meanwhile, 6/1 (5) MOONDIAL won a nursery race at Kempton and was a good third in a handicap at the same venue just two weeks ago. She has possibilities off the same mark here with that run under her belt.
MOONDIAL made the frame on her seasonal return over this trip at Kempton a couple of weeks ago and she could be hard to beat with the benefit of that outing. Alaskan was third over 6f at Lingfield last time and may improve for the step up in distance, while She's A Mirage and Gypsy Nation are others who could go well.
This could be the day when SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX finally opens his account. He has made the frame on several occasions, including when fourth recently in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford where he left the impression that moving up to this trip would be in his favour. Alaskan would have benefited from a stronger gallop when third at Lingfield and will be a threat if getting that here, while She's A Mirage, Gypsy Nation and handicap-debutant Zoukster are all worthy of consideration.
Today's extra furlong looks a good move for ALASKAN and he's in better form than a lot of these, as is his main danger Moondial.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, some horses that are worth noting and may be in the mix are 1.38/1 (9) READIN TOMMY WRONG, 1.75/1 (1) ANY ROAD, and 40/1 (11) ZOLPHARINE. 1.38/1 (9) READIN TOMMY WRONG has a strong point-to-point record and is a rules debutant from a leading stable. 1.75/1 (1) ANY ROAD has been performing creditably in recent bumpers and was only beaten by 3 lengths in a strong race at Cork. 40/1 (11) ZOLPHARINE is a newcomer by a top sire and comes from a strong breeding line. However, as with all horse racing, there are many factors that could affect the outcome, and it ultimately depends on the performance on the day.
ANY ROAD should be able to put his experience to good use. The Walk In The Park gelding has come up against some useful types on his five previous starts, going down by just half a length at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. Second at Cork on his most recent outing, he was seven lengths clear of Backtonormal in third, with that one since successful on his next start. Fresh from his Bishopscourt Cup success at the Punchestown Festival, Pat Taaffe takes the ride on the selection and claims a valuable 7lb. Readin Tommy Wrong is an obvious danger in the famous double green silks of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede. From the family of Quito De La Roque and Kazal, he finished second on debut in a point-to-point at Bellharbour in February of last year. Making his debut for Willie Mullins now, the Authorized gelding is likely to go off favourite. Arabian Diamond was sixth of 25 on debut over flights at Fairyhouse and he warrants the utmost respect coming from the Gordon Elliott yard. Get It Right and Master Player are others that look capable of making an impact.
ANY ROAD has shown more than enough to think a race of this nature is within his grasp and, having finished runner-up at Cork on his latest outing weeks ago, he's fancied to go one place better. Readin Tommy Wrong is an appealing Rules newcomer for the all-conquering Mullins' stable and he's respected, with Master Player completing the shortlist.
Readin Tommy Wrong has to be respected but ANY ROAD(nap) has rock-solid credentials, especially on the form of his Cork second.

Runner-up at Thirsk on penultimate start and a reproduction of that now switched to tapeta would put him firmly in the picture. Runner-up on seasonal reappearance at Thirsk (5f); no progress over 6f since; AW debut.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, 3.33/1 (7) EXCEED seems like the most likely candidate to do well as they have been a runner-up twice, including at the same track as this race, and have only received a 2 lb rise in weight. They are also described as a
EXCEED has filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings and a 2lb raised mark from his latest run on turf looks unlikely to stop him having a say in proceedings here. He was only narrowly denied over this trip at Southwell on his penultimate start and must be of interest if anywhere near that form. Debydinks took a big step forward when finishing in second at Wolverhampton last time out and is feared, while Cheyenne Nation is also open to improvement dropping in trip.
It's probably best to forgive CHEYENNE NATION for his below par display at Redcar last month and he will have every chance if reproducing the form of his reappearance second at Thirsk, provided he takes to this surface. Exceed and Debydinks both found just one too good last time out and the former, who has had fewer chances than Keith Dalgleish's charge, is feared most.
Nigel Tinkler's EXCEED, a commendable second in a valuable Class 6 handicap at Bath recently, is preferred to Debydinks.

20/1(-11%) | (3) Lilandra 20/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap (33/1) at this course (8.6f) 46 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. 0-14 on AW but her reappearance wasn't without hope and the return to 7f won't hurt. |

7th (1) (12/1 +25%) Portelet Bay |
12/1(+25%) | (1) Portelet Bay 12/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 28/1) 62 days ago. Visor back on and could have a part to play off this reduced mark if he puts his best foot forward. 0-20 on AW but solid 2nd over C&D off 2lb higher in January; less good twice since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (6/1 -80%) Storm Master |
6/1(-80%) | (5) Storm Master 6/1, C&D winner. Good second of 6 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 8/1) 71 days ago. Ought to give another good account. C&D winner in October; near miss over 6f when last seen ten weeks ago; contender. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as there are several contenders with good past performances and recent form, such as 3.33/1 (5) STORM MASTER, 3.5/1 (4) MARTINEO, and 3.5/1 (2) CHIFA. 4.5/1 (6) VIEWFROMTHESTARS and 5.5/1 (7) TEA GARDEN also have potential for each-way claims. 16/1 (1) PORTELET BAY and 18/1 (3) LILANDRA are less likely to win, while 50/1 (8) HEY PRETTY's poor recent form makes it best to watch rather than bet on.
VIEWFROMTHESTARS was narrowly denied at Kempton two starts ago and his most recent effort over 6f at Lingfield suggested that this step up in trip would suit. Storm Master hit the crossbar at Newcastle last time and he could make the frame once again. Martineo is another with valid form claims, while Chifa cannot be discounted on his return to action.
Supporting a 17-race maiden is obviously risky but in VIEWFROMTHESTARS the chance is worth taking in this trappy-looking contest. He wasn't seen to best effect last time and he may well have hit the target at Kempton on his penultimate start, granted a clearer passage. Cases can be made for pretty much all of the others, with Storm Master and Tea Garden the pair who may offer the most resistance.
Viewfromthestars should go well but STORM MASTER (nap) can record his second C&D success.

1st (6) (1.2/1 +26%) Spirit Of Bowland |
1.2/1(+26%) | (6) Spirit Of Bowland 1.2/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 5/1) 18 days ago, slowly away. 4 lb rise probably underestimates him and the hat-trick beckons. Won over 7f here and 1m at Southwell on last two starts; up another 4lb; good chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6/1 -71%) Odd Socks Havana |
6/1(-71%) | (3) Odd Socks Havana 6/1, Three-time C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in March. 4/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 46 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks competitive on form. Two C&D wins this year (good second at Wolves last time); suited by decent gallop; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (3.5/1 +36%) Masham Moor |
3.5/1(+36%) | (4) Masham Moor 3.5/1, C&D winner. 5/2, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 28 days ago. Live each-way contender. Series of good runs this year, notably neck second to Odds Socks Havana over C&D in March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7.5/1 +58%) Iron Sheriff |
7.5/1(+58%) | (8) Iron Sheriff 7.5/1, Two wins from 43 Flat runs. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 54 days ago, not ideally placed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. 1m2f Beverley winner in 2022; yet to win in 20 runs on the AW; others look stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (66/1 -200%) Wheal Kitty |
66/1(-200%) | (2) Wheal Kitty 66/1, Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Southwell (8.1f). Off 7 months ahead of this debut for new yard and she's probably worth taking on. Turf winner; bought for £1,500 since last run; best watched on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (6/1 +20%) Our Dickie |
6/1(+20%) | (7) Our Dickie 6/1, Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft, 4/1) 24 days ago. Place possibilities. Ex-Irish; Punchestown winner (1m1f) in September; not in best of form this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (33/1 -50%) Perfect Soldier |
33/1(-50%) | (9) Perfect Soldier 33/1, C&D winner. 5¼ lengths tenth of 13 to Spirit of Bowland in handicap at this course (7.1f, 25/1) 32 days ago. Hard to envisage him reversing the placings with that rival. C&D winner last year; has not run many good races since; others stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (28/1 -100%) Rum Runner |
28/1(-100%) | (5) Rum Runner 28/1, C&D winner. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2020. 18/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f), not knocked about. Off 8 months and minor place money is probably his best hope. C&D winner off 17lb higher in 2020; has not won since but a possible after a break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
1.63/1 (6) SPIRIT OF BOWLAND has the best chance of doing well based on the information provided. The horse has won its last two starts, is a course winner, and has two wins from three runs this year. The summary also mentions that the 4lb rise in weight probably underestimates the horse, suggesting it has more to give and could potentially secure a hat-trick of wins.
A marginal drop in trip following a good second at Wolverhampton in March looks set to suit previous C&D winner ODD SOCKS HAVANA and he can bounce back to that form here. He is rated 5lb above his last winning mark, though, and the hat-trick seeking Spirit Of Bowland can give the selection plenty to think about. Masham Moor has filled the runner-up spot in two of his latest three outings, including behind the selection on his third-last run, and completes the shortlist.
SPIRIT OF BOWLAND scored with far more in hand than the margin of victory would suggest at Southwell 18 days ago and a 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent this 4-y-o from completing the hat-trick. Odd Socks Havana and Masham Moor have both been holding their form well in recent months and are likely to emerge as the main dangers. Our Dickie is also in with an each-way shout.
The in-form course winner SPIRIT OF BOWLAND (nap) is taken to complete a hat-trick by beating Odd Socks Havana and Rum Runner.

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.
