1st (4) (4.5/1 +10%) Raqisa |
4.5/1(+10%) | (4) Raqisa 4.5/1, Winner at Thirsk for Jedd O'Keeffe in August 2021. No impact over hurdles for this yard earlier in the year but more like it when fourth at Doncaster on Saturday. Better run in first-time blinkers for Ryan Kavanagh on Saturday gave something to build on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (6.5/1 -44%) Habanero Star |
6.5/1(-44%) | (6) Habanero Star 6.5/1, Won 4 times during a productive 2022 and latest win at Southwell in March. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (10.1f, good, 5/1) 22 days ago, too free early. Cheekpieces left off. Has three wins and three seconds to her name in 11 course starts; needs to settle better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3.33/1 -33%) Daaris |
3.33/1(-33%) | (5) Daaris 3.33/1, Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft, 12/1) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and sounder surface may help his cause. Maybe soft going wasn't ideal last time; too soon to write him off in first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 +14%) Crafter |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Crafter 12/1, 17/2 and cheekpieces on for first time, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 53 days ago. Doesn't look straightforward. Has struggled this year, latterly when pulling hard in cheekpieces (off today) latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (1.62/1 +57%) Alpha King |
1.62/1(+57%) | (3) Alpha King 1.62/1, C&D winner. Irresolute performer. Last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 14/1), downed tools. Off 177 days. Opposable despite dropping mark. Goes well fresh and is 6lb lower than when making all over C&D last June; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (8.5/1 -70%) Tradesman |
8.5/1(-70%) | (7) Tradesman 8.5/1, Seventh of 10 in novice event (80/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Off 7 months. Makes handicap debut and may improve, but he certainly needs to. Well related and went for 130,000gns as a yearling; is the one to track in the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (25/1 -39%) Arab Cinder |
25/1(-39%) | (1) Arab Cinder 25/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 25/1) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time but she's still unproven on turf. Yet to offer anything for her new yard; first-time headgear needs to make the difference. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Many of these need to improve on what they've shown recently, so a chance can be taken on TRADESMAN. David Simcock's charge finished down the field in a trio of novice events last year, but it would be no surprise were the son of Mastercraftsman to take a step forward now switched to handicaps from a potentially workable mark. Habanero Star and Raqisa can battle it out for the minor money.
DAARIS has yet to win a race but this lightly-raced 4-y-o still appeals as having a bigger performance in him, particularly away from soft ground and with cheekpieces fitted for the first time, he could be the way to go. Habanero Star and Raqisa head the opposition.
Preference is for ALPHA KING, who goes well fresh and is 6lb lower than when winning here last June. Watch Tradesman in the market.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (1/1 +9%) Our Scholar |
1/1(+9%) | (7) Our Scholar 1/1, Fair Flat winner who found only one too good on second hurdles start at Southwell last month. Unlucky third at Worcester since, meeting all sorts of problems, and this step up in trip looks a good move. Leading claims. Has gone close in two recent 2m maidens and today's longer trip ought to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (40/1 -186%) Moytier |
40/1(-186%) | (3) Moytier 40/1, Fair form when placed both starts over hurdles in France in 2020/21 but, after 23 months off, he's been well below that level in a trio of starts for current yard this year. Placed over hurdles in France in 2021 but safely held in recent, low-grade handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (1.75/1 +50%) Dj Pete |
1.75/1(+50%) | (1) Dj Pete 1.75/1, Malinas gelding who showed fair form in bumpers and definite promise despite jumping none too fluently when fifth in a Doncaster maiden (2.8f) in January. Shade disappointing at Lingfield a month later but he's expected to step up on that. Good fifth on hurdling debut in January but his next run was a backward step. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/1 -40%) San Fermin |
7/1(-40%) | (4) San Fermin 7/1, Half-brother to useful chaser Billaway and, having won a bumper, made a pleasing start to his hurdling career when third in a novice at Stratford in June 2021. Off 16 months and limited impact both starts since but a wind op coupled with a tongue tie may help. Ran okay in February, after a long layoff, but not in same form last time; had wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (10/1 -33%) Mistral Nell |
10/1(-33%) | (6) Mistral Nell 10/1, Cheekpieces on for first time when good second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f) in April. Weakened tamely at Warwick and her profile has a patchy look to it. Sound effort when second in small-field handicap last month but well beaten since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (40/1 -122%) Idols's Eye |
40/1(-122%) | (2) Idols's Eye 40/1, Presumably very hard to train given his fleeting appearances and finished lame when last seen under Rules in December 2021. Did finish third in a point at beginning of the year. Placed over hurdles in 2021 but didn't achieve much when third in a point in January. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
OUR SCHOLAR has been threatening to gain a breakthrough success in this sphere of late and the step up from 2m could do the trick. Dj Pete failed to build on an encouraging hurdling debut at Doncaster when beaten a long way at Lingfield, but better is expected in this weaker contest. San Fermin needs a recent wind procedure to get him back on track but he completes the shortlist.
OUR SCHOLAR was probably an unlucky loser at Worcester 16 days ago given how strong he was at the finish having encountered a troubled passage, and in receipt of weight all round, he has a lot going for him. Better is expected of Dj Pete back from a break, with San Fermin a potential improver with a tongue tie on having had a breathing operation.
The most obvious answer is OUR SCHOLAR, who has been involved in two tight finishes over 2m this spring and can improve over this trip.

1st (1) (1.25/1 +44%) Army Ethos |
1.25/1(+44%) | (1) Army Ethos 1.25/1, Foaled February 26. 120,000 gns yearling, Shalaa colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 6f Operatic and winner up to 5.5f Dynamic Force. Yard well among the winners with juveniles and he's highly respected on debut. 120,000gns yearling; by Shalaa; stable has respectable strike-rate with 2yos; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4.5/1 -64%) Jehangeer |
4.5/1(-64%) | (3) Jehangeer 4.5/1, Foaled April 4. Kodiac colt. Brother to yard's star sprinter Hello Youmzain and half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Royal Youmzain. Lots to recommend him on paper. Brother to 6f Group 1 winner Hello Youmzain; three of his siblings won first time out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4.5/1 -29%) Mushterek |
4.5/1(-29%) | (4) Mushterek 4.5/1, Foaled April 10. €56,000 foal, 78,000 gns 2-y-o, Mehmas colt. Dam 6f winner. Must have impressed at the Breeze-Ups and he's one to note. 78,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; by Mehmas out of a 6f winner; major yard; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/1 +21%) Dingwall |
11/1(+21%) | (2) Dingwall 11/1, Foaled March 12. 55,000 gns foal, 85,000 gns yearling, Calyx colt. Closely related to useful 1m/9f winner Good Governance and half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1m Four Seasons. 85,000gns yearling; by Calyx out of a 2yo 6f Group 2 winner; check the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (8.5/1 -55%) Sovereign Nation |
8.5/1(-55%) | (5) Sovereign Nation 8.5/1, Foaled February 20. Ten Sovereigns colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Cliffsofthunder. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful 1½m winner (stayed 1¾m) Monotype. Ten Sovereigns half-brother to a US 1m winner; check the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8/1 +20%) Heroic Angel |
8/1(+20%) | (6) Heroic Angel 8/1, Foaled April 14. €14,000 yearling, £40,000 2-y-o, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 5f/6f Gorane and 2-y-o 7f winner Billy Boy Blue. Dam unraced. £40,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; Soldier's Call half-sister to six winners; market helpful. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The market should prove informative in this race full of newcomers, with a tentative vote going to JEHANGEER. Kevin Ryan's colt is a brother to dual Group 1-winning sprinter Hello Youmzain and he will take some stopping if he has inherited even a fraction of that ability. Army Ethos ticks plenty of boxes and could prove the chief threat, more so given his trainer's respectable strike-rate at the course, with Dingwall making most appeal of the remainder.
The betting could be key but on paper ARMY ETHOS, 78,000 gns Breeze-Ups purchase Mushterek and Jehangeer make most appeal.
Judged on breeding and other factors, the most interesting contenders are JEHANGEER, Army Ethos and Mushterek.

1st (10) (3/1 +25%) Moonlit Cloud |
3/1(+25%) | (10) Moonlit Cloud 3/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 8/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 12 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Back to form when beating a stablemate on heavy ground recently; 2lb rise for that is fair. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (4.5/1 +0%) Cavalluccio |
4.5/1(+0%) | (9) Cavalluccio 4.5/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in April. 11/4, third of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Respected. Enjoyed a good spring, winning twice and going 11lb up the weights; should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (16/1 +60%) Giovanni Baglione |
16/1(+60%) | (1) Giovanni Baglione 16/1, Visored for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 18/1). Off 172 days. Uphill task. Trainer boasts fair record here; is worth tracking in the market back from six months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/1 +17%) Conservative |
10/1(+17%) | (2) Conservative 10/1, 28/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago, slowly away. This is easier than he's used to but it's hard to find any other positives. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/1 -120%) Meng Tian |
11/1(-120%) | (7) Meng Tian 11/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. On a career-low mark; stamina the question, with his dam having produced mainly sprinters. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (6/1 +25%) Hotspur Harry |
6/1(+25%) | (8) Hotspur Harry 6/1, 13/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 27 days ago. Back up in trip. Better treated on turf; goes on the shortlist under experienced 7lb claimer George Eddery. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (2.75/1 +31%) At Liberty |
2.75/1(+31%) | (6) At Liberty 2.75/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 10/3) 11 days ago, left poorly placed. Merits consideration. Habitual hard-puller; came back to form last time and needs considering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (22/1 +12%) Flower Of Thunder |
22/1(+12%) | (4) Flower Of Thunder 22/1, 3-time C&D winner. 28/1, last of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 41 days ago. Three-time C&D winner; will need a career-best off this mark; yard still quiet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (22/1 +12%) Casa Luna |
22/1(+12%) | (11) Casa Luna 22/1, 33/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 22 days ago. Something to find on form. Yard been among the winners and is 3-11 with runners here but she's a regressive maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (28/1 -12%) Delphi Dreamer |
28/1(-12%) | (5) Delphi Dreamer 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in minor event (20/1) at Newcastle (8f). Off 140 days. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Interesting to see how he goes in the market now handicapping after five months off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MOONLIT CLOUD sprung a minor shock when winning at Nottingham 12 days ago, an effort for which she was subsequently raised 2lb in the ratings. The daughter of Sea The Moon seems versatile regarding ground conditions and she may be able to go in again. Flower Of Thunder already has three C&D victories on her CV and must be of interest back here, while Delphi Dreamer is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of his handicap bow.
MOONLIT CLOUD had more in hand than the margin suggests at Nottingham so can defy a 2 lb rise. At Liberty looks ready to strike soon so is feared most ahead of Cavalluccio.
Jean Danjou has potential but HOTSPUR HARRY (nap) looks the most solid option, back up to his optimum trip off his lower turf mark.

1st (5) (2/1 +27%) Pak Army |
2/1(+27%) | (5) Pak Army 2/1, Came good for new yard when 21-length winner of 2m Newton Abbot handicap last month and scored in equally emphatic fashion on the Flat at Bath 13 days later. 13 lb higher than at Newton Abbot but this thriving sort could still make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Dominated at Newton Abbot last month and has since recorded an emphatic Flat success. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4.5/1 -29%) Allihies |
4.5/1(-29%) | (3) Allihies 4.5/1, Fairly useful winner at 7f on Flat in Ireland. Better effort in maiden hurdles for leading new stable when fourth of 9 at Worcester 16 days ago. Potential for better again now making a quick switch to handicaps. Respected. Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland last year, and fourth in a recent maiden hurdle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (2.5/1 -43%) Him Malaya |
2.5/1(-43%) | (2) Him Malaya 2.5/1, Improved effort for his top yard when second of 10 on 2m Ludlow handicap debut 10 days ago. Obvious chance off the same mark. Kept on well for second on recent handicap debut; major player off same mark here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (6.5/1 +13%) Escobedo |
6.5/1(+13%) | (6) Escobedo 6.5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Stepped up on initial efforts over hurdles when third on handicap debut in this sphere at Wincanton (2m, good to soft) in November but well below that level in 2 outings in February. Freshened up since. First-time cheekpieces replace the visor worn last time. Placed on handicap debut in November but disappointed twice in February; cheepieces tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6.5/1 +35%) Noble Savage |
6.5/1(+35%) | (4) Noble Savage 6.5/1, First past the post in 21.5f Wincanton handicap in March but demoted for hanging left and hampering the runner-up. Respectable fifth of 14 at Taunton (2m) last month. Probably vulnerable to some of the less-exposed sorts in this line-up. First past the post at Wincanton in March but not in same form since; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (28/1 +0%) Russies Dream |
28/1(+0%) | (7) Russies Dream 28/1, Little encouragement in bumpers/novice hurdles. More chance now handicapping from a basement mark but still hard to make a case for. Tongue tied first time. No real promise in his qualifying runs but has lowly mark for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 +11%) Afta Party |
16/1(+11%) | (1) Afta Party 16/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Alice Haynes. Only modest form when fourth in maiden/novice hurdles on first 2 outings for this yard and beaten when falling 4 out on Wincanton handicap debut in January. Improvement needed back from a break. Already struggling before falling at fifth flight on handicap debut in January; off since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HIM MALAYA may well have won on his handicap debut at Ludlow but for jumping out to his left, and Paul Nicholls' four-year-old is of strong interest now turned out again quickly. Pak Army has proven a different proposition since being refitted with blinkers and he must not be taken lightly, despite a 13lb rise for his Newton Abbot romp, since when he has won easily on the level. The unexposed Allihies likely has more to offer now given a mark and Dan Skelton's charge can't be ruled out either.
The Paul Nicholls-trained HIM MALAYA took a step forward when runner-up on his recent Ludlow handicap debut and is taken to build on that and open his account now. Dan Skelton handicap newcomer Allihies and Pak Army, who has found a new lease of life since refitted with blinkers, are the obvious dangers.
Pak Army and Him Malaya both have good claims but talented Flat-racer ALLIHIES is open to significant improvement over hurdles

1st (3) (5.5/1 +27%) Global Humor |
5.5/1(+27%) | (3) Global Humor 5.5/1, Unreliable sort. Course winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021, although he would have been closer but for being hampered when seventh of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Could stage a revival in this fairly weak race; well treated at present. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2/1 +43%) Giselles Izzy |
2/1(+43%) | (4) Giselles Izzy 2/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. 8/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (2f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Placed twice over C&D last July; drop back to 6f looks ideal; not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 -43%) Kraken Power |
5/1(-43%) | (1) Kraken Power 5/1, Pair of AW wins in January. 10/3, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 51 days ago. Should be competitive back on turf. Only 1-25 on turf but is in good form having been consistent on AW this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (33/1 -32%) Hard Solution |
33/1(-32%) | (9) Hard Solution 33/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (5f) 19 days ago. 0-5 for current yard; on a two-year losing run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (2.25/1 -50%) Freedom Flyer |
2.25/1(-50%) | (2) Freedom Flyer 2.25/1, Latest win at Thirsk in April. 6/1, travelled strongly when second of 12 over C&D (good) 16 days ago. Another bold show looks assured from an unchanged mark. Consistent this season; creditable second over C&D most recently; solid chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (66/1 -200%) Elettaria |
66/1(-200%) | (7) Elettaria 66/1, Hasn't beaten a rival in 2 outings this year. First-time cheekpieces need to make a major difference. Regressive maiden; first-time headgear needs to work well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (7.5/1 +32%) Empress Of Bough |
7.5/1(+32%) | (5) Empress Of Bough 7.5/1, Modest maiden. 18/1 and tongue strap on first time, thirteenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 32 days ago. Irish maiden who is inconsistent but has a fighting chance on best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (80/1 -60%) Burtonlodge Beauty |
80/1(-60%) | (8) Burtonlodge Beauty 80/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Last of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Has a major question mark over current form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
This can go the way of FREEDOM FLYER, who must hold every chance if building upon a strong runner-up effort over C&D earlier in the month. Ruth Carr's charge gets in here off an unchanged mark and he is preferred to the likes of Giselles Izzy and Kraken Power, who has been in consistent form on the all-weather this year and may be able to continue that back on turf.
FREEDOM FLYER travelled really powerfully when second in a more competitive race than this over C&D last time and can resume winning ways. Kraken Power arrives on the back of a good spell on AW and is feared most ahead of Iain Jardine's Giselles Izzy.
On current form, the most solid contenders are FREEDOM FLYER, Kraken Power and Giselles Izzy in that order of preference.

11/1(-10%) | (6) Mart 11/1, Foaled February 4. 130,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel colt. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Saayerr and half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 5f winner Ornate and useful winner up to 6f Fendale. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Bred to be sharp and an interesting newcomer. Early-foaled 130,000gns yearling; half-brother to two useful 2yos for William Haggas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (80/1 -21%) Macedonian King |
80/1(-21%) | (5) Macedonian King 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 14/1, last of 4 in novice event at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 16 days ago. Well held in two runs; wouldn't say much for the newcomers were he up to taking this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
With little form in the book, the market is likely to reveal some clues, but preference is for STATE OF DESIRE. Charlie Appleby was just touched off in this race last year, but his representative, a well-bred son of the imperious Frankel, appears to hold all the correct attributes to see him go one better. Mart and El Bodon make plenty of appeal on paper and both must be considered, while American Tale looks the pick of those with experience.
This is likely to be dominated by the newcomers with expensive Frankel yearling STATE OF DESIRE the obvious one on paper. Mart is bred to be sharp, while Khamsin proved popular at the Breeze-Ups.
Some interesting newcomers in here, headed by 400,000gns yearling STATE OF DESIRE and the well-related Mart.

1st (4) (1.38/1 +21%) Pottlerath |
1.38/1(+21%) | (4) Pottlerath 1.38/1, Successful 3 times over hurdles during 2022 and has progressed with each run over fences, off the mark at Worcester with a bit in hand 16 days ago. Remains of interest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2.5/1 +25%) Marettimo |
2.5/1(+25%) | (2) Marettimo 2.5/1, Back to winning ways in 3m handicap chase at Ludlow but just a respectable third there next time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4.5/1 +31%) Ecossais |
4.5/1(+31%) | (1) Ecossais 4.5/1, Had been in good form but below par last 2 starts. Off 11 months and is now 2 lb below last winning mark so one to note. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (4.5/1 +10%) Dorado Dollar |
4.5/1(+10%) | (7) Dorado Dollar 4.5/1, Long-standing maiden who appeared to excel himself from 5 lb out of weights when staying on strongly to take second late on here (3m). Backed that up when runner-up at Huntingdon since but 5 lb out of handicap here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (25/1 -56%) Ballycross |
25/1(-56%) | (3) Ballycross 25/1, Veteran who was still capable of fairly useful form over fences around 3m for Nicky Henderson last spring. Hard to get excited about his 3 efforts since joining this yard, though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
POTTLERATH won a shade cosily at Worcester earlier in the month and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to complete a double, despite a 7lb rise. Dorado Dollar arrives in good heart having finished runner-up on his last two appearances, but he's 5lb out of the handicap here. With that in mind, Marettimo, who shaped better than the beaten distance when third at Ludlow recently, may prove the bigger threat.
POTTLERATH has progressed with each run over fences and is taken to defy a 7 lb rise having scored with a bit in hand at Worcester. Ecossais is potentially on a good mark on his belated return so is next best ahead of Marettimo.
Still on a workable mark after last month's Ludlow success, MARETTIMO was not discredited when third there a fortnight ago.

1st (1) (0.8/1 +20%) Al Husn |
0.8/1(+20%) | (1) Al Husn 0.8/1, Smart filly who won all 3 starts last season, including a red-hot valuable Newmarket fillies/mares handicap over this trip in October. Fine return in the Group 2 Dahlia there recently, taking second late on. Plenty going for her back down in grade. Improving filly who ran well in Newmarket Group 2 on seasonal debut; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/1 -10%) Angels Wrath |
11/1(-10%) | (2) Angels Wrath 11/1, Fairly useful filly yet to add to her debut Dundalk success but ran well at the longest trip she has tackled to date when second in 9.5f Gowran listed race 3 weeks ago. Lots more on her plate here. Runner-up in Gowran Listed event last time; possibilities if building on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (22/1 +0%) Jewel In My Crown |
22/1(+0%) | (4) Jewel In My Crown 22/1, Hit the target in 3 handicaps at up to 11f last season and resumed with a fine effort in a competitive event at Kempton. Well beaten in the Jockey Club 3 weeks ago but this is a bit more realistic. Drops back in class but her best form remains at handicap level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4/1 -14%) Crystal Caprice |
4/1(-14%) | (3) Crystal Caprice 4/1, Quickly developed into a useful filly last term, completing the hat-trick in a handicap at Ascot (1m) prior to finishing third in a Newmarket listed race. Easy to back and should have come on for her Nottingham return in the mud after 6 months off and should stay this trip. Could do better. Possibly didn't have ideal conditions the last twice; progressive otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (40/1 +0%) Madame Ambassador |
40/1(+0%) | (5) Madame Ambassador 40/1, Fairly useful filly who won 2 Newmarket handicaps over further last season. Not disgraced on return at Epsom but plenty to find on these terms back down in trip. Handicapper; has the worst chance at the weights in this grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (10/1 -43%) Pink Carnation |
10/1(-43%) | (7) Pink Carnation 10/1, Won Nottingham maiden and 9f Hamilton handicap (impressive) last season and ran really well under an enterprising ride on her return at Nottingham (Crystal Caprice in behind), drawing several lengths clear halfway and headed only late on. This is tougher. Appeared to run very well at Nottingham on reappearance but possibly flattered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (6/1 +0%) Makinmedoit |
6/1(+0%) | (6) Makinmedoit 6/1, Won 3 times over this trip last year and ran well behind a promising filly at Lingfield when last seen in January. Just as good on turf and capable of making her presence felt back at this level. Largely progressive over 1m2f; goes well fresh; interesting on return from break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
PINK CARNATION (second) had Crystal Caprice (fifth) well behind on her first start of the season in the Nottinghamshire Oaks, which was much improved form than she had shown prior, suggesting she has taken a big step forward over the winter. The daughter of Territories is fancied to cope with these quicker conditions and go one better. Al Husn will find this an easier assignment than the Dahlia at Newmarket, where she was a six-length second, and she is expected to mount another bold bid.
Roger Varian can win this again with progressive filly AL HUSN. She won a red-hot Newmarket handicap on her final start last term and resumed with a cracking effort in a Group 2 there. Back down in grade here she has obvious claims. Makinmedoit has a race like this in her and is feared most ahead of Sir Michael Stoute's Crystal Caprice.
The drop back in class gives the advantage to AL HUSN (nap). Makinmedoit, another progressive sort, is feared most.

1st (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Born To Rock |
3.5/1(+30%) | (1) Born To Rock 3.5/1, Foaled March 14. €17,000 yearling, 110,000 gns 2-y-o, Soldier's Call filly. Dam maiden half-sister to useful 7f-1¼m winner Match Maker and US 2-y-o Grade 3 1m winner More Than Love. Dam related to winners but wasn't up to much herself and the market will be the best guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (2.5/1 +0%) Jiwin |
2.5/1(+0%) | (5) Jiwin 2.5/1, Foaled April 6. 25,000 gns foal, 40,000 gns yearling, 170,000 gns 2-y-o, Acclamation filly. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner (stayed 1m) Ivawood. Lot to like on paper. Picked up for 170,000gns around a month ago; powerful yard's first 2yo runner of 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (12/1 -9%) Mirroring |
12/1(-9%) | (9) Mirroring 12/1, Foaled April 2. €145,000 foal, 60,000 gns yearling, £70,000 2-y-o, Mehmas filly. Sister to winner abroad and half-sister to winners, including French 7f/1m winner Excellent Truth. 145,000euros foal, £70,000 2yo; likely to want more of a test than this on pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (5/1 -25%) Mantra |
5/1(-25%) | (8) Mantra 5/1, Foaled January 28. €10,000 yearling, £160,000 2-y-o, Tamayuz filly. Dam, maiden (raced only at 7f), out of useful 9f/1¼m winner Daymooma. Noteworthy newcomer with William Buick booked. Early foal who went for £160,000 recently; interesting to see how she goes in the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (14/1 +0%) Happy Tears |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Happy Tears 14/1, Similar form to debut when fourth of 7 in maiden at Ascot (5f, soft, 10/1) 12 days ago. Bit better on soft ground last time; William Buick is on stablemate Mantra this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (10/1 +17%) Zoumoon |
10/1(+17%) | (13) Zoumoon 10/1, Foaled March 6. 100,000 gns yearling, Zoustar filly. Dam 2-y-o 5.5f winner who stayed 9.5f out of US winner up to 9f (Grade 1 8.5f winner and 6f-1m winner at 2 yrs) Daisy Devine. Two Year Old Trophy entry; trainer's sole 2yo runner this spring went in second time out. |

7th (4) (40/1 +0%) I'm So Dizzy |
40/1(+0%) | (4) I'm So Dizzy 40/1, Foaled March 1. 15,000 gns yearling, Camelot filly. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to smart winning sprinter Beckford. Well-related dam was poor herself; trainer doesn't have a great record with 2yos here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (6/1 -9%) Phoenix Duchess |
6/1(-9%) | (11) Phoenix Duchess 6/1, Too green to show true worth when fifth of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (5f, good, 11/1) on debut 19 days ago. Fancied to know more this time. Bit pf promise, after a slow start, on her debut; entitled to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (80/1 -100%) Horse Whisperer |
80/1(-100%) | (3) Horse Whisperer 80/1, Foaled April 3. €100,000 foal, Invincible Spirit filly. Dam twice-raced sister to smart 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Verbal Dexterity. Wears tongue strap. Wears tongue-tie on debut; yard has modest strike-rate with 2yos over the past five years. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (33/1 +0%) Lady Of Sardinia |
33/1(+0%) | (6) Lady Of Sardinia 33/1, Foaled March 14. 14,000 gns yearling, Twilight Son filly. Half-sister to 5f/6f winner Pink Flamingo. Dam 5f winner. Trainer's two 2yo runners so far this season both finished well beaten at big prices. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (66/1 -32%) Pickled Pepper |
66/1(-32%) | (12) Pickled Pepper 66/1, 14/1, ninth of 11 in novice event at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) on debut 30 days ago. No immediate promise when beaten a long way on her soft-ground debut a month ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (20/1 -25%) Liklelady |
20/1(-25%) | (7) Liklelady 20/1, Foaled March 22. Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 1m-1¼m winner Solitary Trees. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), sister to Irish 1000 Guineas winner Jet Setting. One of 3 George Boughey runners. Half-sister to the yard's Solitary Trees; trainer's other pair look more likely. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A costly purchase from the recent Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Ups, JIWIN could be primed to strike on debut for an in-form yard, which has unleashed some smart two-year-olds at this track in recent years. Similar comments apply to newcomer Mantra, with William Buick booked for the ride, while Zoumoon is another to note for the shrewd James Ferguson stable. Of those who have racecourse experience, Phoenix Duchess stands out after a somewhat promising debut at Newmarket.
No surprise were newcomers to come to the fore here, with JIWIN, who presumably breezed well given her sales prices shot up, just about the pick representing the Gosden team. Mantra has the services of William Buick and she's a likely type, along with Mirroring.
The Gosden's first 2yo runner of 2023, JIWIN, is a likely type. Mantra is perhaps most interesting of George Boughey's trio.

1st (6) (14/1 +30%) Glorious Zoff |
14/1(+30%) | (6) Glorious Zoff 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Gordon Elliott and proved he retains ability for new yard when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Newbury. Pulled up at Plumpton since, though. Proved he retains ability when fourth in March but has performed poorly since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (8/1 -60%) Coolnaugh Haze |
8/1(-60%) | (10) Coolnaugh Haze 8/1, Fair handicap hurdler who was back to form when fourth at Ludlow 10 days ago and should give another good account. Back from break with three fairly good runs under Elizabeth Gale this spring; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (12/1 -33%) Hurricane Ali |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Hurricane Ali 12/1, Genuine type who won 3 times last season and ran another good race when second to Filey Bay at Doncaster in November. Might have needed the run at Haydock 11 days ago, so he's not one to write off. In career-best form in early part of last season but on a fairly tough mark now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (22/1 -83%) Sea The Clouds |
22/1(-83%) | (9) Sea The Clouds 22/1, Made winning hurdles bow at Newton Abbot (16.8f) in September and bumped into an in-form rival when second on handicap debut at Ludlow (15.8f, heavy) 2 months later. Absent since but he remains unexposed in this sphere and could take a hand in the finish if fully tuned-up. Unexposed 6yo; bumper/hurdle winner in September; has fitness to prove after layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (4.5/1 +75%) For Pleasure |
4.5/1(+75%) | (3) For Pleasure 4.5/1, Free-going front runner who has disappointed in handicap company the last twice. Could bounce back after a 114-day break, and handicapper has given him a chance. Free-going front-runner; well below best last season; back from break today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (12/1 +0%) Postmark |
12/1(+0%) | (11) Postmark 12/1, Useful winner on the Flat and left low-key hurdles debut a long way behind when cosily landing a 4-runner Newbury maiden. Bit disappointing since but it's still early days. Won small-field maiden in February but ought to have run better last time; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (3.5/1 -17%) Chaos Control |
3.5/1(-17%) | (7) Chaos Control 3.5/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who struck at the third time of asking over hurdles in a Market Rasen juvenile (16.6f, good) in February. Good sixth in Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree since and solid claims back down in grade. Very creditable sixth in 4yo Grade 1 at Aintree last month and commands respect here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (2.5/1 +62%) Izayte |
2.5/1(+62%) | (12) Izayte 2.5/1, 3/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 23 days ago, responding well. Still unexposed in this sphere and likely to go well again. Came good with C&D win this month and is open to further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (11/1 -22%) Finest View |
11/1(-22%) | (4) Finest View 11/1, Won 4 on the bounce for Alan King last spring and stepped up on low-key yard debut when third at Taunton (16.5f, good) in February. Hasn't fired since, though. Won four in a row for Alan King in spring 2022 but not at best for new stable this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (66/1 -230%) Mascat |
66/1(-230%) | (5) Mascat 66/1, Fairly useful on Flat and he doubled tally over hurdles at Newton Abbot (16.7f) a year ago. Made frame on each of his last 3 starts over fences for Joe Tizzard back in the autumn and he's since switched yards again ahead of this return to action. In fairly good form over fences in the autumn but makes stable debut after 195-day break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (20/1 +29%) J'ai Froid |
20/1(+29%) | (1) J'ai Froid 20/1, One-time smart hurdler but he's not the same force nowadays and he still appears to be too high in the weights. On good mark and may revive at some point but this drop back to 2m is not an obvious move. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
CHAOS CONTROL was far from disgraced in sixth in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at the Grand National meeting and he may have been let in lightly on his handicap debut. Izayte justified strong support when gaining a first career success at Warwick at the start of the month, with a 6lb rise unlikely to prevent another bold bid. For Pleasure has been tumbling down the ratings and a four-month absence may have freshened the Grade 2 winner up.
IZAYTE upped his game to score over C&D last time and, with more to come, he looks the way to go in a fairly open-looking handicap. Chaos Control is a big danger dropping back in grade and Bombyx deserves respect having shaped as if back in form at Ludlow earlier in the month.
Chaos Control is respected but recent C&D winner IZAYTE may still have further improvement to come.

1st (2) (4.5/1 -64%) Mountbatten |
4.5/1(-64%) | (2) Mountbatten 4.5/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 10/1) 18 days ago. This low-mileage 4-y-o may have more to offer and merits plenty of respect up 3 lb. 7f winner last time; open to further progress; big player if proving as good back at 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 -20%) Hortzadar |
6/1(-20%) | (1) Hortzadar 6/1, Useful handicapper at best. Good second on Ripon reappearance last month and may have found run coming too soon when only eighth of 11 at Beverley (8.5f, good to soft) a week later. Player on the Ripon form. Remains 11lb below last winning mark; possibilities if bouncing back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (2.12/1 +72%) Yaaser |
2.12/1(+72%) | (7) Yaaser 2.12/1, C&D winner last summer but has yet to seriously threaten in 3 outings this year, not helped by slow starts. His mark is coming down but need to see more. Scored twice here last term; hinted at a return to form on latest start; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (8.5/1 +15%) Ventura Rascal |
8.5/1(+15%) | (3) Ventura Rascal 8.5/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) on reappearance 30 days ago. Claims if he can build on that. Respectable fourth in big field at Pontefract on seasonal debut; has won over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5/1 -25%) Star Shield |
5/1(-25%) | (5) Star Shield 5/1, Something to spare when back to winning ways in a 4-runner race over C&D under Jason Watson 20 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb but Watson partners stablemate Hortzadar. Justified favouritism in small field over C&D three weeks ago; raised only 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (12/1 +33%) Golden Valour |
12/1(+33%) | (9) Golden Valour 12/1, Temperamental sort. Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. Seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (1¼m, good to firm, 5/1) on reappearance 20 days ago. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces. 0-7 for current stable; chance depends on how well he takes to new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (22/1 -57%) Wadacre Grace |
22/1(-57%) | (6) Wadacre Grace 22/1, Pair of AW wins from the front this spring but well beaten back on turf at Musselburgh last month. Raced mainly on AW; form dipped markedly back on turf last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (22/1 -120%) Circles |
22/1(-120%) | (8) Circles 22/1, Pair of 7f Dundalk wins in February. 10/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap there (6f) 43 days ago, running on late. Significantly back up in trip. Hasn't troubled the judge in 3 previous outings on turf. Irish filly who has raced mainly on AW at Dundalk; something to prove back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (12/1 +14%) Flylikeaneagle |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Flylikeaneagle 12/1, C&D winner. Eight wins from 26 Flat runs, the latest at Musselburgh (1m) last month. Not in the same form when 8 lengths last of 4 to Star Shield over C&D since, though. Disappointing over C&D last time but has a respectable record here otherwise. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Star Shield regained the winning thread when registering a clear-cut verdict in a small-field C&D handicap, but he doesn't have nearly as much scope for improvement as MOUNTBATTEN. Archie Watson's gelding built on a decent Brighton comeback when successful at Doncaster, and the rise from 7f should see him in an even better light. Ventura Rascal and Circles are interesting, with Hortzadar, Wadacre Grace and Flylikeaneagle all better than they showed last time.
David O'Meara holds a strong hand, with HORTZADAR taken to build on his promising reappearance at the second time of asking and deny Star Shield a C&D double. Lambourn raider Mountbatten looks best of the remainder.
Back down in grade and returned to Ayr, YAASER could well come back to winning form. Mountbatten is feared most.

1st (3) (4/1 +11%) Cherry Cola |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Cherry Cola 4/1, Course winner. 14/1, tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Fair on the Flat and this mark should be within range. Well handicapped now for a yard in decent nick but poor effort over hurdles needs ignoring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5.5/1 +8%) Smokey Malone |
5.5/1(+8%) | (1) Smokey Malone 5.5/1, Latest win at Southwell in April. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 20 days ago, having run of race. Likely to give it another good go back on turf. Fine on turf and should go well again but there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (18/1 +18%) Pledge Of Peace |
18/1(+18%) | (10) Pledge Of Peace 18/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 20/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Laura Mongan. Visor on first time. Regressive, longstanding maiden for Laura Mongan; switches from cheekpieces to a visor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (50/1 -79%) Harmonious |
50/1(-79%) | (9) Harmonious 50/1, Remains a maiden after 32 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 25/1) 71 days ago. Had plenty of chances in weak AW handicaps this year; is hard to enthuse about. |

6th (7) (4.5/1 -50%) Purple Reign |
4.5/1(-50%) | (7) Purple Reign 4.5/1, 18/5, good second of 10 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 9 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Back in form at Catterick last week; won't mind the step back up in trip; shortlisted. |

5.5/1(+39%) | (5) Vienna Girl 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 16f in bumpers. 7/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 29 days ago. Makes turf debut. Hood back on. Bumper winner last summer; the hood goes back on today and she's a player dropped 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (3.33/1 +17%) Testing Faith |
3.33/1(+17%) | (6) Testing Faith 3.33/1, 10/1, good fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 36 days ago, faring best of those held up. Drop back in trip probably in his favour so one to be interested in back on turf. Wasn't suited by the way the race panned out latest; will be popular under William Buick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (12/1 -33%) Winklevi |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Winklevi 12/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft, 7/1) 20 days ago, probably going off too hard. Visor left off. Lacks consistency and it's been a while since he ran well on turf; headgear off again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (40/1 -43%) Roaring River |
40/1(-43%) | (8) Roaring River 40/1, Visored for first time, sixth of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 13 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Goes beyond 1m2f for the first time and needs to improve for the stiffer test. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Narrowly denied at Catterick last time out, PURPLE REIGN must hold every chance if building on that effort, and the step up in trip should aid his cause. Ed Dunlop's charge has dropped 1lb below his last winning mark and he is fancied to see off the likes of Testing Faith and Smokey Malone, who has strong claims on his penultimate success at Southwell.
TESTING FAITH is a long-standing maiden but this looks his ideal trip and with William Buick taking over, this would be his chance to open his account. Purple Reign is more reliable than most at this level, with Smokey Malone another to consider.
Purple Reign and Testing Faith are a combined 1-30 and worth taking on with bumper winner VIENNA GIRL, who had excuses latest.

1st (3) (3.33/1 +17%) Light N Strike |
3.33/1(+17%) | (3) Light N Strike 3.33/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser who showed plenty of zest on back of 6 months off when runner-up at Kempton (18f) 4 weeks ago, jumping soundly and weakening only late on. Not underestimated from this sort of mark with that under his belt. Ran well in defeat last month, after a layoff, and today's quicker ground is a plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/1 -18%) Espion Du Chenet |
10/1(-18%) | (4) Espion Du Chenet 10/1, Irish raider who added to his tally over fences at Punchestown (2m) 12 months ago. Plenty of creditable efforts in defeat subsequently, sound fifth in 14-runner handicap at that venue 4 weeks ago. However, he has little wriggle room from this mark. Irish challenger; creditable fifth at last month's Punchestown festival; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/1 -25%) Hatcher |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Hatcher 10/1, Record has become distinctly patchy and, having halted the slide to an extent when third at Ascot on his penultimate start, he was in nothing like the same form in the Red Rum at Aintree later last month. This less demanding if he can bounce back at least. Struggled in major handicap last month but his Ascot third two runs ago was a good effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (5/1 +0%) Only Money |
5/1(+0%) | (6) Only Money 5/1, Bumper/4-time winner over fences (at around 2m) and he shaped encouragingly on back of 4 months off when fourth behind re-opposing Mercian Prince at Kempton 23 days ago. Not underestimated with that under his belt despite operating from out of the weights. Travelled strongly for a long way at Kempton last month; 6lb wrong here but not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 -11%) Mercian Prince |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Mercian Prince 5/1, Veteran campaigner who enhanced his fine Kempton record on the back of 7 months off when landing an 18f handicap 23 days ago under a typically fluent front-running display. Bit more on his plate from 3 lb higher but he's clearly returned in rude health. Front-running veteran; looked in excellent nick at Kempton this month, after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (1.75/1 +22%) Saint Calvados |
1.75/1(+22%) | (1) Saint Calvados 1.75/1, C&D winner. One-time top-class chaser who opened his account for Paul Nicholls in Grade 2 company at Sandown 13 months ago. Failed to fire in 3 starts during the winter but stopped the slide when third in listed handicap at Ayr (20.5f) 5 weeks ago. In the mix again from 1 lb lower mark. High-class chaser in his prime and good third in Ayr handicap last month; respected. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
MERCIAN PRINCE held on by half a length to make all at Kempton and he has only been raised 3lb. Amy Murphy's veteran looks to have conditions in his favour once more and he can make it a double. Saint Calvados was beaten under a length into third over an extended 2m4f at Ayr's Scottish National fixture and looks dangerous stepping back down in distance off 1lb lower. Light N Strike is much less exposed and could also have a say.
Intriguing fare despite the small field with a chance taken on former C&D winner SAINT CALVADOS. He confirmed he still has plenty to offer when third in an Ayr listed handicap 33 days ago and can make his presence felt back down in trip from an easing mark. Light N Strike and Only Money are a couple of others to consider.
After a creditable fifth in a hot 2m handicap at Punchestown last month, ESPION DU CHENET can make the journey from Ireland worthwhile.

1st (6) (4/1 +27%) Muker |
4/1(+27%) | (6) Muker 4/1, Useful earlier in career. Some encouragement at second time of asking for new yard when sixth of 7 at Pontefract 3 weeks ago, keeping on when meeting trouble in the final 110yds. Dangerously well handicapped. Has become very well handicapped on peak form; third start for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/1 -22%) Mr Beaufort |
11/1(-22%) | (3) Mr Beaufort 11/1, Pair of wins for Tom Clover last year. Has yet to fire for new yard but it's still early days. Tongue tied first time. May prove resurgent with tongue-tie fitted and dropped back in class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (2.5/1 -11%) Be Proud |
2.5/1(-11%) | (4) Be Proud 2.5/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at this course (6f, good) on reappearance 16 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter for the outing and well capable off this mark. Possibilities off a handy mark back over 5f; all wins at this distance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/1 -17%) Jojo Rabbit |
7/1(-17%) | (1) Jojo Rabbit 7/1, Now 10 lb below the mark he won off at Nottingham last summer but hasn't offered enough in 4 outings this year to suggest he's in good enough form to take advantage. This drop in grade may prompt some sort of revival; won off 10lb higher last June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (16/1 -45%) Lockdown |
16/1(-45%) | (5) Lockdown 16/1, 6/1, below form third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) when last seen in February (final run for George Baker). Tongue strap back on. Sold for just £1,000 since last run; heed market signals on debut for Irish stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (4/1 +11%) Modular Magic |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Modular Magic 4/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Went close on AW in January and lost all chance start when well held later that month. Given a break ahead of this turf return. Nicely treated; goes well fresh; interesting on return from four-month layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (11/1 +21%) Shabaaby |
11/1(+21%) | (7) Shabaaby 11/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 6/1) 9 days ago but had been a creditable third of 7 over C&D prior to that. Ran well over C&D two starts ago but inconsistency has become a trait. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (9/1 -20%) Sixcor |
9/1(-20%) | (8) Sixcor 9/1, Three-time C&D winner. Presumably needed the outing when sixth of 7 on C&D reappearance (good to firm) 20 days ago. Likely to make more of an impact this time. All wins over C&D but they came off lower marks in Class 6. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SHABAABY was not beaten far when third over course and distance two starts ago and his most recent effort at Catterick over 6f suggested that a return to the minimum trip would suit. Modular Magic was not at his best last time but he should not be underestimated in this company, while Lockdown has to be of some interest on his debut for new connections. The shortlist is completed by Be Proud and Mr Beaufort.
MUKER was running on when cut off towards the rail late on at Pontefract last time and might be worth chancing having dipped to a mark in the 60s. Be Proud ran quite encouragingly on his C&D reappearance a couple of weeks ago and is second choice ahead of Sixcor.
There are a few positives for MODULAR MAGIC, who gets the vote. Second choice Muker.

1st (4) (6.5/1 +13%) Thapa Vc |
6.5/1(+13%) | (4) Thapa Vc 6.5/1, Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 5/1 and tongue strap on for first time, fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Likely to be better for that run. Entitled to have come on for his comeback and the booking of William Buick draws the eye. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (33/1 -136%) Harbour Vision |
33/1(-136%) | (9) Harbour Vision 33/1, 50/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago, having run of race. Back down in trip on rare turf start. Done most racing of late over 9.4f at Wolverhampton; would be a surprise winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8/1 -100%) Dark Side Thunder |
8/1(-100%) | (2) Dark Side Thunder 8/1, In top form at present, supplementing his Kempton success in 8-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 3/1) 45 days ago. Big player if proving as effective on turf. Five 6f AW wins to his name in the past ten months; returns to turf on a career-high mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7.5/1 +32%) Secret Strength |
7.5/1(+32%) | (3) Secret Strength 7.5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in February. Visored for first time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 12/1) 21 days ago. Enters calculations with usual headgear back on. Back to just below his last winning mark and it wouldn't surprise at all to see him pop up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Covert Mission |
4.5/1(-13%) | (5) Covert Mission 4.5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in April. Good second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/2) 20 days ago. Seen to maximum effect but likely to go well again. Run over 1m for over a year now; arrives in form but returns to turf on a career-high mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (16/1 +20%) George Morland |
16/1(+20%) | (1) George Morland 16/1, Latest win at Southwell in November. Last of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 110 days and chance the break will enable him to revive back on turf. Cheekpieces off. Goes well fresh but he lost his way early in the year and has to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (8/1 -23%) Sharvara |
8/1(-23%) | (6) Sharvara 8/1, Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 11 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Cheekpieces on first time. Not much luck with one thing and another; back to turf on fair mark in first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (10/1 +9%) Ideal Guest |
10/1(+9%) | (7) Ideal Guest 10/1, 14/1, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 27 days ago. Probably needed first run in 7 months so better expected here. Front-runner; well held on his Chelmsford comeback but should fare better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (2/1 +40%) The Spotlight Kid |
2/1(+40%) | (8) The Spotlight Kid 2/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 10/1) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he should be spot on for this. Currently 2-2 on turf, both over C&D last autumn; player back on turf/in the cheekpieces. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The value may lie with THE SPOTLIGHT KID, whose two career wins came over C&D last year and his recent effort at Kempton should have put him spot on for this assignment. The hat-trick seeking Dark Side Thunder arrives in excellent form from the all-weather, while Covert Mission is another key player despite having never won on turf. Sharvara and Thapa VC can also have a say in proceedings.
THE SPOTLIGHT KID defends an unbeaten C&D record and with an AW run minus headgear 3 weeks ago likely to put him spot on for this, he has a lot to recommend him. Dark Side Thunder is a big threat if he's as effective on turf, along with Covert Mission.
The Spotlight Kid is 2-2 on turf, both over C&D, but a chance is taken on SECRET STRENGTH, who's fairly treated now.

1st (4) (2/1 +50%) Way Out |
2/1(+50%) | (4) Way Out 2/1, Irish point winner and displayed plenty of ability on first 2 starts in bumpers. In-and-out form over hurdles so far, but won a Fakenham maiden (2m4f) on his latest start 15 days ago. Task is now to build on that effort. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5.5/1 +15%) Halifax |
5.5/1(+15%) | (6) Halifax 5.5/1, Gained a deserved first success in handicap at Exeter (2m7f) in February but has been below form when finishing ninth on his last 2 starts, at Chepstow (23.6f) on the latest occasion. Others preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5.5/1 -100%) Salley Gardens |
5.5/1(-100%) | (2) Salley Gardens 5.5/1, Multiple hurdles winner in 2021 and won at Southwell on first of 3 starts over fences last summer. Returned to hurdling after 8 months off, back to form when third in handicap at Kempton (2m5f) 23 days ago and he can resume winning ways with cheekpieces reapplied. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 +23%) The Big Lense |
5/1(+23%) | (3) The Big Lense 5/1, Left yard debut effort over hurdles behind when runner-up in handicap chase at Leicester (2m4f) in February. Not in the same form next time but has run creditably both starts since, third at Worcester (16.5f) last time. Needs to transfer that form back to hurdling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5/1 +17%) Cluain Aodha |
5/1(+17%) | (5) Cluain Aodha 5/1, Opened account in mares' handicap here (2m3f) in March and, after a below-par effort at Wincanton a fortnight later, soon returned to form when runner-up at Worcester (2m4f) earlier this month. Can give another good account back at this course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (6/1 -71%) Future Investment |
6/1(-71%) | (1) Future Investment 6/1, Useful staying handicapper on Flat and ran best race over hurdles when beaten only by a good prospect in a Chepstow novice in December. Back on track when fourth in similar event at Newbury (20.5f) in March, but more needed now handicapping. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SALLEY GARDENS outran his odds when beaten less than two lengths into third at Kempton, for which he was put up 1lb. The Olly Murphy-trained seven-year-old is fancied to take another step forward to score, with Lewis Stones claiming 3lb to further aid his chances. Last-time-out Fakenham winner Way Out returns to the handicapping ranks and has to be considered, while Cluain Aodha has been holding her form quite well and is another to consider.
Back over hurdles after 8 months off, SALLEY GARDENS ran up to his best when third at Kempton and he can build on that effort to return to winning ways with the usual cheekpieces reapplied. Course-winner Cluain Aodha was soon back to form when runner-up last time and is feared most, ahead of Future Investment.
Placed over an inadequate 2m in a recent chase, THE BIG LENSE (nap) looks very interesting off today's 13lb lower hurdle mark.

1st (1) (3/1 +14%) Morning Sun |
3/1(+14%) | (1) Morning Sun 3/1, Good start for new yard, building on Redcar reappearance third when scoring over C&D (good) 16 days ago. Did that quite readily so a 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. Won with something to spare over C&D recently and could take a 6lb rise in his stride. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (1.88/1 -7%) Theophilos |
1.88/1(-7%) | (7) Theophilos 1.88/1, 10/3, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft) 34 days ago, readily. Not obviously well treated from his British mark but his unexposed profile provides the hope for better. Won at Tipperary latest; 11lb higher mark here but could have plenty more left in the tank. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5.5/1 +15%) Innse Gall |
5.5/1(+15%) | (3) Innse Gall 5.5/1, C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (1¼m, good to firm, 5/1) 25 days ago. Respectable 5th of 13 at Haydock latest & this is less competitive; might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 +0%) Knightswood |
12/1(+0%) | (5) Knightswood 12/1, Well handicapped on his best form but hard to be confident about after finishing well held on his Musselburgh reappearance last month. Tailed off on reappearance but on a handy mark and not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (6.5/1 +13%) Tilsitt |
6.5/1(+13%) | (2) Tilsitt 6.5/1, C&D winner. Offered more than on reappearance when 4 lengths eighth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (1m, good, 28/1) 10 days ago, needing stiffer test. Back up in trip. Didn't run badly at Hamilton latest and now back at the scene of his last three wins. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (14/1 -56%) Zarabanda |
14/1(-56%) | (4) Zarabanda 14/1, Unexposed type who shaped better than the result when sixth of 14 on 9f Hamilton reappearance 10 days ago, keeping on after meeting trouble. Remains capable of better. Very lightly raced 4yo who could have more to offer on this second handicap start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 -136%) Bringbackmemories |
33/1(-136%) | (6) Bringbackmemories 33/1, Won a Musselburgh juvenile hurdle at the start of the year but has failed to make a significant impact on the Flat since joining this yard. Has had wind surgery. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Wind op since last time but Flat form for this new yard has been mixed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (12/1 -20%) Sophiesticate |
12/1(-20%) | (8) Sophiesticate 12/1, C&D winner. 12/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (9f, good) 10 days ago. Enters calculations. Close fourth over 1m1f at Hamilton recently and this slightly longer trip looks a plus. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A ready winner over C&D 16 days ago, it looks best to side with the unexposed MORNING SUN. The son of Muhaarar appeared to relish the switch to front-running tactics on that occasion and a similar showing here could see him defy a 6lb rise in the handicap. Irish raider Theophilos appeals as his main danger following last month's Tipperary success, while Innse Gall heads the remainder, although Zarabanda should not be underestimated.
MORNING SUN had a bit in hand when striking at the second time of asking for the Keith Dalgleish stable here 16 days ago and can make light of a 4 lb rise. Zarabanda shaped quite encouragingly in a competitive Hamilton handicap on her recent reappearance and is feared most ahead of Irish raider Theophilos.
Irish challenger THEOPHILOS did it nicely at Tipperary last month and is taken to follow up, although Morning Sun is a danger.

1st (4) (6.5/1 +59%) Clarko's Back |
6.5/1(+59%) | (4) Clarko's Back 6.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in minor event (25/1) at this course (7f). Off 177 days. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Must bounce back. Showed minor promise in three AW runs in the autumn; tongue tied for h'cap debut; gelded. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (4.5/1 +40%) Double Down |
4.5/1(+40%) | (10) Double Down 4.5/1, Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (11/2) at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Merits consideration. Went close over C&D in March; less good since but perhaps stretched by 1m2f latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (33/1 -175%) Golden Phase |
33/1(-175%) | (12) Golden Phase 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, fifth of 9 in minor event at Bath (8f, good to soft) 33 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut. Open to improvement but has wide draw to contend with. Modest form in three novice runs; this more suitable but others have stronger claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (10/1 +0%) Papal Music |
10/1(+0%) | (2) Papal Music 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) 55 days ago, needing stiffer test. Tongue strap on 1st time. Last two runs have offered more and the tongue-tie could prompt further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (5.5/1 -10%) Larrsen |

7th (6) (12/1 +0%) Kimnkate |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Kimnkate 12/1, 15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 157 days. Others more persuasive. Ran well over C&D in December and subsequent 7f run can be forgiven; down in class today. |

8th (3) (11/1 -22%) Congruent |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (3.5/1 -40%) Perfect Gentleman |
3.5/1(-40%) | (1) Perfect Gentleman 3.5/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (5/2) 37 days ago, kept up to work. Not taken lightly. 2-2 in C&D handicaps and still has more to offer; leading claims. |

10th (8) (12/1 +0%) Puzzletown |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Puzzletown 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Not easy to make a case for. Bred to do better and latest run was more encouraging but others hold stronger claims. |

16/1(-33%) | (9) Enborne 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 21 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Things went wrong at Brighton last time but earlier 7f 4th here offered hope; should stay. |

12th (5) (33/1 -32%) Congresbury |
33/1(-32%) | (5) Congresbury 33/1, 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Handicapper on top so far but dropped 10lb in 3 runs; down in class and may revive. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Perfect Gentleman struck over C&D last month by a length in this grade and he boasts leading claims off a 4lb higher mark, but a chance can be taken on KIMNKATE. The three-year-old filly makes her return to action and, if able to reproduce the form of her run over C&D in December, with the second and third winning since, she should go very close. Mr Boson is worth a second look on his handicap bow.
LARRSEN was well backed and scored readily at Bath recently, so he's fancied to go in again. Perfect Gentleman is 2 from 2 over C&D and looks a big threat, while Double Down should give his running once more.
Congruent can go well but PERFECT GENTLEMAN (nap) has already won two C&D handicaps and looked better than this grade last time.

1st (4) (4.5/1 +44%) Anglo Saxson |
4.5/1(+44%) | (4) Anglo Saxson 4.5/1, C&D winner. 7/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft). Off 7 months. Two C&D wins last summer and he's a contender if fully tuned up for this reappearance run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (8/1 -45%) Girl Inthe Picture |
8/1(-45%) | (2) Girl Inthe Picture 8/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (10.1f, good, 22/1) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Promising run over 1m2f here on reappearance and on the shortlist now back down in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 +50%) Handel |
4/1(+50%) | (5) Handel 4/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Good third of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 68 days ago, faring best of those held up. 0-18 but close third off reduced mark at Wolverhampton last time and is not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (5.5/1 -38%) Thomas Equinas |
5.5/1(-38%) | (8) Thomas Equinas 5.5/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in March. Respectable 2¾ lengths sixth of 13 to Waleyfa in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 10/3) 20 days ago, never nearer. Has good chance on form. Unproven on turf but promise three weeks ago on first crack at 1m; interesting contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (4/1 -14%) Waleyfa |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Waleyfa 4/1, 3 wins from 5 runs this year. 8/11, won 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. Enters calculations. Three AW wins since joining yard; question mark about turf but she has to be respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 +60%) Galileo Glass |
4/1(+60%) | (3) Galileo Glass 4/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Chelmsford City (8f) 48 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. 2 close 2nds on AW then not quite at best last time; not ruled out in first-time blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (10/1 +50%) Sapperdean |
10/1(+50%) | (10) Sapperdean 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, creditable eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 21 days ago. Makes turf debut. Ran okay on handicap debut but improvement needed to make an impact here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Waleyfa merits plenty of respect given her recent all-weather victories but her turf form is not as strong and that has to be a concern. With that in mind, preference is for GIRL INTHE PICTURE, who is only 1lb above her last winning mark and should improve for her recent seasonal return. Others to note are Thomas Equinas and Anglo Saxson.
The thriving WALEYFA had more in hand than the margin suggests when scoring at Wolverhampton 12 days ago so looks up to completing the hat-trick. Thomas Equinas is next best ahead of Mudlahhim.
The mare WALEYFA has won three times on the AW since joining Alice Haynes and is worth another chance on turf.

Butler's Brief |
(1) (8/1 +50%)8/1(+50%) | (1) Butler's Brief 8/1, Had run of race but produced a career best when winning at Uttoxeter (good to soft) back in July. Disappointing since, shaping as if better for the run when down the field over C&D just under 4 weeks ago. Won off this mark last summer but made low-key reappearance over C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (3) (3.5/1 +68%) Biowavego |
3.5/1(+68%) | (3) Biowavego 3.5/1, Won a Uttoxeter maiden last summer and struck at the second time of asking in handicaps at Worcester (23f, heavy) in October. However, he's been pulled up on his last 2 starts (latest after 4 months off) so arrives with a bit to prove. Clear winner when upped to 2m7f in October but has capitulated quickly twice since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (3.33/1 +58%) Kilfilum Woods |
3.33/1(+58%) | (7) Kilfilum Woods 3.33/1, Seven-race maiden who was back over hurdles (had breathing operation in interim) but failed to improve sporting first-time cheekpieces after 4 months off at Kempton (21f, good to soft) recently. Handicapper cuts him some slack. Didn't run badly at Kempton this month and is another 3lb lower here; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (2.5/1 +29%) Grillon De Monty |
2.5/1(+29%) | (4) Grillon De Monty 2.5/1, Bounced back to form to open his account for current yard in 7-runner handicap at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft) last month, benefiting from a patient ride. Struggled to pull off the same tactics over C&D 11 days ago, though, but could well be in the mix. Off mark in Britain with comfortable win last month; not in same form over C&D 11 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (14/1 +58%) Ernesto |
14/1(+58%) | (8) Ernesto 14/1, Capitalised on a drop in grade when resuming winning ways at Hereford (25.5f) in October but has struggled in his 5 starts since (pulled up on 3 occasions). Has stacks to prove at present. Out of form since small-field win in October but getting back on good ground is a big plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (4/1 -33%) Grace A Vous Enki |
4/1(-33%) | (2) Grace A Vous Enki 4/1, Dual winner of novice hurdles towards the back-end of 2021/22 season but efforts last term both in this sphere and over fences were a bit of a mixed bag, looking a tricky ride when third at Doncaster (24.4f, good) 3 months ago. Needs considering from 2 lb lower. Step back in right direction when third at Doncaster in February, despite racing lazily. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (7/1 -180%) Presenting Yeats |
7/1(-180%) | (5) Presenting Yeats 7/1, Lazy sort but pretty consistent on the whole and arrives on a hat-trick having seen off his sole rival in hard-fought style at Exeter (23.1f, good) when last seen in October. Just 1 lb higher, so should go well in hat-trick bid provided he's ready to roll. In good form last summer/autumn but seven-month break may have checked his momentum. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Presenting Yeats recorded a double when last seen in October, but he only had one rival to beat on his most recent effort and could come out second best here to BUTLER'S BRIEF. The eight-year-old has top weight to contend with but he has been dropped 1lb for a Warwick defeat, which puts him on his last winning mark. Grace A Vous Enki has been freshened up following an encouraging Doncaster third and is another to consider.
Milton Harris has his string in good order at present and his PRESENTING YEATS gets the vote to pick up from where he left off last autumn and complete the hat-trick. Grace A Vous Enki has looked a tricky customer, but there were more encouraging signs at Doncaster 3 months ago and he may emerge as the main threat. Grillon de Monty and Butler's Brief can fight out third spot.
Another chance to GRILLON DE MONTY, who flopped over C&D recently but produced a good performance at Huntingdon last month.

Esticky End |
(4) (28/1 -155%)28/1(-155%) | (4) Esticky End 28/1, Ended 2022 out of sorts but did notch a pair of turf wins last May, including on reappearance, and it would be no surprise to see him stage a revival. One to keep a close eye on in the market. Goes well fresh; needs a close look on return from ten-month absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (9) (2.75/1 +8%) Hostelry |
2.75/1(+8%) | (9) Hostelry 2.75/1, One win from 33 Flat runs. 4/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good) 9 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Sole win came off 3lb higher; creditable second at Musselburgh last time; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (3.33/1 +52%) Bulls Aye |
3.33/1(+52%) | (7) Bulls Aye 3.33/1, Tricky customer but he has run well to be placed on 3 of last 4 starts. Losing run mounting up, though. Engaged 6.30 here Tuesday. Placed twice in a row this month then didn't enjoy a clear run here yesterday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Shine On Brendan |
4.5/1(+0%) | (1) Shine On Brendan 4.5/1, C&D winner. 9/4, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 17 days ago, having run of race from front. Can play a prominent role again. Creditable second the last twice; threatening to regain the winning thread; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7.5/1 +25%) Super Stars |
7.5/1(+25%) | (2) Super Stars 7.5/1, Fit from hurdling and placed off higher marks on the Flat last year. Not discounted. 0-12 on Flat and all of his place form is over further than 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/1 +31%) Big Dream |
11/1(+31%) | (6) Big Dream 11/1, 18/1 and cheekpieces on first time, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) in January, ridden too aggressively. Off 138 days. Far from consistent since sole win but current mark is workable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (25/1 -150%) Rogue Force |
25/1(-150%) | (3) Rogue Force 25/1, 11/1, first run since leaving Tom Clover when sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Needs to leave that behind. Turf record isn't solid but this drop in class may help; second run for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (14/1 +44%) Retirement Beckons |
14/1(+44%) | (10) Retirement Beckons 14/1, C&D winner but hasn't beaten a rival in 2 comeback outings at Hamilton in recent weeks. Can only watch at present. Suited by Ayr but has a question mark over current form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (7/1 +13%) Engles Rock |
7/1(+13%) | (5) Engles Rock 7/1, Dual C&D winner last year. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Wetherby (1m, good to soft) 24 days ago, not ideally placed. Back on a winning mark. Interesting back at Ayr having gained last two wins over C&D (including off 2lb higher). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Successful over C&D last July, SHINE ON BRENDAN has been knocking on the door of late with a pair of runner-up efforts and this looks like an ideal opportunity for him to get back to winning ways. Hostelry arrives with similar claims and can give him the most to think about, along with Rogue Force, who has dropped down to a very attractive mark.
HOSTELRY goes off the same mark as when second at Musselburgh at the beginning of last week and may be up to going one better now. Shine On Brendan is another who arrives on the back of a creditable runner-up effort in recent days and should figure again. The returning Esticky End won on his 2022 reappearance and is another to consider, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.
Judged on his last two efforts SHINE ON BRENDAN looks a particularly solid option. Hostelry is second choice.

1st (1) (10/1 +0%) Darwell Lion |
10/1(+0%) | (1) Darwell Lion 10/1, Easing in weights and shrugged off a lesser display when seventh in 13-runner C&D handicap 6 weeks ago, nearest at the finish. Not underestimated from handy draw if building on that here. More realistically treated again now and latest C&D 7th was more encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (14) (2.5/1 +58%) Two Tempting |
2.5/1(+58%) | (14) Two Tempting 2.5/1, C&D winner. 7/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good) 21 days ago, travelling well and weakening inside final 1f. Record on artificial surfaces is essentially a positive one and he's one to consider from a handy draw. C&D winner last May; ran well on his reappearance last month; less good on turf latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (8.5/1 +15%) Billy Mill |
8.5/1(+15%) | (6) Billy Mill 8.5/1, C&D winner. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, 10/3) 21 days ago, no extra close home. Reliable type who should give another good account operating from last winning mark. Back to his last winning mark and ran well for third over 7f here latest; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5.5/1 -22%) Farasi Lane |
5.5/1(-22%) | (3) Farasi Lane 5.5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. 7/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) 18 days ago, effort around 3f out and never dangerous. Better showing anticipated back on AW for all he's less than ideally drawn. Flopped on heavy latest but a contender if returning to this year's AW best; widest draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5.5/1 +0%) Tahitian Prince |
5.5/1(+0%) | (7) Tahitian Prince 5.5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Newmarket (8f, good) 19 days ago, not ideally placed away from where the main action developed. No surprise to see him thereabouts now operating from 5 lb below last winning mark. Three C&D wins in 2021, including the final of this series; patchy since but not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (12/1 -85%) Discretion |
12/1(-85%) | (4) Discretion 12/1, Steadily progressive as a 3-y-o, supplementing her Beverley novice victory when taking 9-runner Carlisle handicap (7.8f) 12 months ago. Midfield in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot final start but she remains low-mileage ahead of this return. Worth a look on AW debut. Unexposed 4yo; off since midfield at Royal Ascot last June; may rate higher yet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (16/1 +11%) Dembe |
16/1(+11%) | (5) Dembe 16/1, Course winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/1) 22 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Handicapper has afforded him a chance but draw in 12 makes things tricky. Running well over the winter but form has dropped off more recently; needs full revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (66/1 -164%) Jade Country |
66/1(-164%) | (13) Jade Country 66/1, Gained reward for consistency when opening his account at Yarmouth (1m) last September. Far from disgraced on turf/AW next 2 starts and changed hands for 14,000 gns thereafter in October. Market should prove a useful guide here with cheekpieces/tongue tie fitted. Progressing for former yard when last seen; sold 14,000gns in Oct; accessories added today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (8.5/1 +15%) Just Amber |
8.5/1(+15%) | (9) Just Amber 8.5/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (1m, AW) 28 days ago, quickening to lead inside final 1f and well on top finish. Not out of things for all her draw in 13 makes things tougher. Stylish winner at Lingfield on return but up 5lb against better oppositon and drawn wide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (12/1 +14%) Lucky San Jore |
12/1(+14%) | (10) Lucky San Jore 12/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 27 days ago, weakening final 1f. That was his first poor effort for his present yard and likely type to bounce back equipped with a first-time hood. Two wins over further last season; now hooded after racing too freely last time; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (50/1 -317%) Sagano |
50/1(-317%) | (8) Sagano 50/1, Fairly useful in France but no real short-term encouragement to glean from pair of starts on AW/turf for new yard this spring. Mark is easing all the time but he can only be watched at present. 4-time winner over further in France; well beaten twice over 1m for new yard this spring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (66/1 -164%) Met Office |
66/1(-164%) | (2) Met Office 66/1, Dual winner at up to 12f in France who went backwards from his belated reappearance/yard debut effort when last of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (10f) in October. Can only be watched unless market vibes were particularly positive on return. Winner in France but two modest efforts for this new yard last October; risky back at 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (18/1 -13%) Warning Sign |
18/1(-13%) | (12) Warning Sign 18/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Has work to do. Winner in France; not really taken off for G Moore but there's still time; check betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (11) (40/1 -43%) Point Of Fact |
40/1(-43%) | (11) Point Of Fact 40/1, 40/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Newbury (10f, heavy) 32 days ago, the heavy ground seemingly catching him out. Positives to glean from his previous exploits for this yard on AW and each-way claims here. Stable debut wasn't bad but he's not built on it twice since; now tried in a hood. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DISCRETION was sent off at 12/1 for the Sandringham at Royal Ascot when last seen, which suggests a better performance was expected. The daughter of Dubawi has only had five starts and she could have much more to come this year for the Harry & Roger Charlton stable. The main threat might be Just Amber, who struck by just under two lengths at Lingfield last time and has to be considered off a 5lb higher mark. Of the remainder, Two Tempting makes some appeal.
Plenty arrive with claims, and it could just pay to take a chance on TAHITIAN PRINCE. A 3-time winner over C&D, he wasn't seen to best effect on his latest outing on turf and now operating 5 lb below his last winning mark, it would come as no surprise to see him go well. Two Tempting shaped better than the bare result on his latest outing and is feared from a handy draw. Low-mileage 4-y-o Discretion is another to consider.
The return to Kempton may see TWO TEMPTING gain his second C&D win. The well-handicapped Tahitian Prince could follow him home.

1st (5) (6/1 +0%) Free Step |
6/1(+0%) | (5) Free Step 6/1, 11/4, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 175 days. First run for yard after leaving Chris Wall. On a tempting mark and could be worth chancing for new stable. All or nothing for Chris Wall; interesting to see how she goes in the market on comeback. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4.5/1 -35%) Revolutionary Man |
4.5/1(-35%) | (6) Revolutionary Man 4.5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 20 days ago, slowly away. Still has to prove he's as effective on turf. Won easily off a 10lb higher mark on Polytrack this month; claims are obvious. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (9/1 +18%) Arlo's Sunshine |
9/1(+18%) | (9) Arlo's Sunshine 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 20 days ago. Others have achieved more. Two wins and a second to his name in five runs over C&D; holds each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (2/1 +40%) Brilliant Blue |
2/1(+40%) | (3) Brilliant Blue 2/1, Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 11/4) 22 days ago. Player under Buick. Regressive maiden who's found his level now; goes on the shortlist under William Buick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (4.5/1 +50%) Chagall |
4.5/1(+50%) | (4) Chagall 4.5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. 11/8, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 11 days ago. Enters calculations. Again pulled hard when beaten at a short price last time; the drop back in trip could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (14/1 +13%) Ebury |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Ebury 14/1, Two wins from 44 Flat runs. Forty runs since last win in 2019. 14/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Useful in the past but hasn't win since his 3yo days and only holds outside claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/1 -100%) Spanish Mane |
9/1(-100%) | (1) Spanish Mane 9/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at this course (7f, good, 13/2) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Respected. Back in form here last time but she can pull hard and would have made more appeal over 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (18/1 -29%) Pull The Lever |
18/1(-29%) | (2) Pull The Lever 18/1, Blinkered for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 11/1). Off 10 months. Significantly up in trip. Regressive maiden who's only run in sprints; would want to see some support after a layoff. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BRILLIANT BLUE seemed to have benefitted from a wind operation when second over a mile at Brighton earlier in the month, and he could take some stopping off the same mark here. The consistent Spanish Mane also hit the crossbar on her most recent outing and she could prove to be the main danger. That said, Chagall and Revolutionary Man should not be underestimated.
It could be worth chancing FREE STEP, who starts out for a new yard on a potentially handy mark. Brilliant Blue is feared most with Buick an eye-catching booking, with Spanish Mane best of the others.
This revolves around REVOLUTIONARY MAN, who's 10lb lower than when winning on the AW last time. Brilliant Blue is next best.

1st (5) (0.8/1 +77%) Begin The Luck |
0.8/1(+77%) | (5) Begin The Luck 0.8/1, Has taken really well to chasing, landing handicaps at Newton Abbot/Exeter in April. Faded out of things only late on when third on his latest outing 7 days ago and he's entitled to be in the mix again. Versatile chaser as regards trip/ground, but progress checked off this mark last time out.. |

|PU| (2) (2.12/1 +29%) Spanish Present |
2.12/1(+29%) | (2) Spanish Present 2.12/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner who twice went close in handicaps in that sphere during the winter. Return/chase debut effort at Uttoxeter 18 days ago was a rather lacklustre display though, so needs to shrug that off if he's to feature here. Visor reached for. Maiden hurdle winner over this trip/ground; well held on recent chasing debut (soft).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (6/1 +14%) Full Of Light |
6/1(+14%) | (3) Full Of Light 6/1, Bumper winner who displayed fair form when adding pair of hurdle victories (at around 20f) to his tally during 2021/22. Has become disappointing however, again finishing well held back over fences at Kempton (20.5f) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces added to usual tongue tie. Trip/ground/mark all fine; hope if the headgear inspires much straighter jumping.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Back after a wind op now and the betting may prove a useful guide. Weakened out of both starts since September 2020; trip/ground fine but plenty to prove.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having been well supported ahead of his fencing bow a week ago, LIVELY CITIZEN made no mistake at Perth, winning with a bit in hand. The unexposed chaser must carry a 7lb penalty, but that's unlikely to pose an issue if arriving in the same form. Begin The Luck's winning run came to an end at Newton Abbot, but he remains in good form and must be respected. Visored for the first time, Spanish Present appeals as the pick of the remainder.
A likeable sort over hurdles, LIVELY CITIZEN made the perfect start over fences when landing a 6-runner Perth handicap 7 days ago, jumping fine and quickening to lead close home. He gets the nod to follow up under a penalty, with fellow in-form rival Begin The Luck next best. Spanish Present also shouldn't be written off just yet, now connections reach for the first-time visor.
A chance is taken on FULL OF LIGHT jumping straighter in the headgear and accounting for last week's Perth winner Lively Citizen.

7.5/1(-50%) | (2) Lincoln Legacy 7.5/1, Foaled March 23. €36,000 yearling, Footstepsinthesand filly. Sister to smart 2-y-o 7f winner Sent From Heaven and half-sister to numerous winners, including smart 1m-1¼m winner Above Average. Interesting newcomer. 36,000euros yearling; related to four winners with an RPR in excess of 100; drawn widest. |

2nd (9) (0.91/1 +52%) Sparklight |
0.91/1(+52%) | (9) Sparklight 0.91/1, Promising individual. Second of 8 in minor event (10/3) at this course (5f) on debut 14 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement and boasts leading claims. Promising 2nd over 5f here two weeks ago, in front of two repopposing rivals; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (18/1 -13%) Quiet Affair |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Quiet Affair 18/1, Foaled January 28. 28,000 gns yearling, Equiano filly. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Enforcer, won King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. 28,000gns yearling; dam a 1m-1m2f winner from a good family; worth a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (6/1 +0%) Forever A Diamond |
6/1(+0%) | (8) Forever A Diamond 6/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/2, fifth of 8 in minor event at this course (5f) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement. Only 9-2 for her recent debut here (5f); work to do with Sparklight on that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (8/1 -14%) Fistral Beach |
8/1(-14%) | (1) Fistral Beach 8/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in maiden (10/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 9 days ago. Should learn from that initial experience. Promise amidst inexperience on Wolverhampton debut; 6f should suit well; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (12/1 -71%) Willowbank |
12/1(-71%) | (6) Willowbank 12/1, 10/1, last of 7 in maiden at Ascot (5f, soft) on debut 12 days ago, very green. Slowly away, green and never threatened on Ascot debut 12 days ago; should know more now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (66/1 -100%) Another Gift |
66/1(-100%) | (7) Another Gift 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Thirsk (5f, heavy) on debut 18 days ago, slowly away. 22-1, green and never on terms at Thirsk 18 days ago; should do better in time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (14/1 +0%) My Lady Samantha |
14/1(+0%) | (3) My Lady Samantha 14/1, Foaled April 15. 35,000 gns yearling, Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Mashaan and useful 2-y-o 5f winner Andreas Vesalius. 35,000gns half-sister to two winners; dam a 6f 2yo winner; yard's 2yos going great guns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (20/1 -100%) Pointofblue |
20/1(-100%) | (4) Pointofblue 20/1, Once-raced maiden. 7/2, last of 8 in minor event at Ripon (5f, heavy) on debut 25 days ago. Hooded for 1st time, tongue strap on for 1st time. Seemingly thought capable of better. Dropped right away on her Ripon debut last month; accessories now added; bred to do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (80/1 +20%) Tejesueno |
80/1(+20%) | (10) Tejesueno 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at this course (5f) 14 days ago. Hard to fancy. Behind two of these here two weeks ago; new trip needs to have a big effect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SPARKLIGHT (second) had Forever A Diamond (fifth) behind when denied by five lengths over 5f at this track on her racecourse bow, and it's likely she would have learned a lot from her first outing. The daughter of Cable Bay could be the one to beat with normal improvement. Any market support for Lincoln Legacy should be noted, with Oisin Murphy booked on debut.
SPARKLIGHT shaped well here on debut and didn't have a hard time, so she's likely to improve enough to open her account at the second attempt. Lincoln Legacy is the pick of the newcomers and Fistral Beach is also worthy of consideration.
It was a good start to SPARKLIGHT's career when she finished second over 5f here two weeks ago and she can go one better today.

1st (3) (0.62/1 +44%) Jaytee |
0.62/1(+44%) | (3) Jaytee 0.62/1, Has been running at least respectably over fences lately and pulled clear of the remainder when second at this course 9 days ago. Visored now, and capable of going one better if the race doesn't come too soon. Neck second here latest (rider dropped rein); yet to run a bad race over fences; player.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 -20%) Gats And Co |
3/1(-20%) | (1) Gats And Co 3/1, Really got his act together in 2022, landing a 4-timer (including a hat-trick at this course) in staying handicap chases. Been largely disappointing since but shaped as if back in form at Chepstow last time and this step back up in trip should suit. Trip and mark all to the good, but far more effective up to now around galloping tracks.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (6.5/1 +13%) Zoffalee |
6.5/1(+13%) | (5) Zoffalee 6.5/1, Runner-up 4 times last season but he often looked hard work and he was below form at Leicester when last seen 5 months ago. Others make more appeal. 0-18 over fences, though one near-miss off 11lb higher last summer (3m3f, good to firm).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 -9%) Fraternel |
12/1(-9%) | (2) Fraternel 12/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles but he offered little after 21 months off when remote fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Taunton (23f, good to soft) 65 days ago. Needs a big step forward. Back to within 1l of his winning chase mark; anonymous return to action back in March.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Gats And Co bolted up from this mark at Ffos Las just under a year ago and, down in class, he merits the utmost respect but preference is still for JAYTEE. Only narrowly denied here on his latest outing, Ian Williams' charge can make amends and go one better from an unaltered handicap rating. Breizh Alko may show more now reverting to fences, though he needs to bounce back having been pulled up at Uttoxeter.
JAYTEE ran well when runner-up here recently and a performance of similar merit should be enough for him to go one better at the likely expense of Gats And Co. Breizh Alko is another one to consider.
A close second here nine days ago, JAYTEE almost picks himself if over those exertions. Zoffalee may yet prove next best.

1st (8) (2.25/1 +44%) Trip To Rome |
2.25/1(+44%) | (8) Trip To Rome 2.25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Gelded/on back of 8 months off stepped up when second of 12 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 76 days ago, no match for winner. Definite possibilities with a repeat from handy draw. 50-1 runner-up at Southwell in March and he's a major player on that latest evidence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (1.5/1 +33%) One More Wave |
1.5/1(+33%) | (7) One More Wave 1.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 3/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at Goodwood (8f, heavy) 18 days ago, the trip on testing ground possibly just stretching him. Sets a good standard on his C&D second previously (behind a subsequent winner) and he's a big player. Good second over C&D last month and again ran well at Goodwood latest; strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (125/1 -213%) Brigitte |
125/1(-213%) | (11) Brigitte 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 100/1) 21 days ago, never better than midfield. Handicaps will be more her bag further down the line. In good hands to improve but she needs a sizeable step forward on this third start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (5.5/1 +50%) Scramble |
5.5/1(+50%) | (12) Scramble 5.5/1, Modest filly. Respectable third of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford (1m, 10/1) 88 days ago, headway over 1f out and one paced. Likely to be vulnerable again in this sort of company. Frequently placed but 0-7 and there's a suspicion that some of these will be too good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 -33%) Jimmy Lifestyle |
12/1(-33%) | (6) Jimmy Lifestyle 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, stepped up on his debut effort (despite still looking green) when fourth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in November. Handicaps entitled to be more his bag moving forward. Fair fourth last November on his second start but others have better form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (150/1 -200%) Ishani |
150/1(-200%) | (2) Ishani 150/1, Ardad filly. Dam, 5.7f-7f winner, half-sister to useful 6f-7f winner Kostar. Rates a likely outsider on debut operating from worst of the draw. Dam useful but first two foals haven't shown much; probably best watched on belated debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (6.5/1 -8%) Timely Escape |
6.5/1(-8%) | (5) Timely Escape 6.5/1, 22,000 gns yearling, Cityscape gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Cairn Gorm and 6f winner Time To Exceed. Makes appeal on paper for a yard in good form and no surprise to see him feature in what rates an ordinary novice. Represents trainer enjoying fine spring and he makes his debut in a winnable race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (150/1 -436%) Certain Style |
150/1(-436%) | (9) Certain Style 150/1, 24,000 gns 2-y-o, Adaay filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1¼m winner Go Sakhee and winner up to 1¼m Bling King. Dam maiden (stayed 9.7f). Potential in her pedigree but she may be one for further down the line. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (12/1 +25%) Show Of Hands |
12/1(+25%) | (10) Show Of Hands 12/1, 24,000 gns foal, €33,600 yearling, Showcasing filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Chelsea Lad and 7f/1m winner Aperfectdaytofly. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 9.5f. Half-sister to 4 winners; no shock to see good run on debut but likely to improve for it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (250/1 -150%) Our Land |
250/1(-150%) | (1) Our Land 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 150/1) 36 days ago. Down in trip. Massive odds and well beaten this spring on her first two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (100/1 -300%) King Elvis |
100/1(-300%) | (4) King Elvis 100/1, Equiano gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner El Dessert. Yard wouldn't be a renowned source of winning newcomers and another with a difficult draw to overcome. Best watched. Half-brother to two maidens who have shown good ability; watching brief advised on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ONE MORE WAVE may have found that the 1m distance at Goodwood on heavy ground stretched his stamina, and a reproduction of his penultimate second over C&D would give him leading claims. Another Thought gained a breakthrough success at Lingfield earlier in the month and she isn't taken lightly, despite carrying a 7lb penalty in this contest. Southwell runner-up Trip To Rome could emerge as the chief threat.
ONE MORE WAVE seemed to find the 1m trip on testing ground taxing his stamina at Goodwood 18 days ago yet, with the form of his previous second in a C&D novice having been boosted, he's well worth another chance to get back on the up. Trip to Rome fared better than previously when second at Southwell and is feared, along with newcomer Timely Escape. Lingfield-scorer Another Thought should also give a good account.
Having been a good second over C&D last month, ONE MORE WAVE is the selection ahead of Southwell runner-up Trip To Rome.

1st (1) (3/1 +10%) Sir Tivo |
3/1(+10%) | (1) Sir Tivo 3/1, Fairly useful chaser who made all in a 2m novice hurdle at Warwick in October. Excuses last 2 starts and not ruled out having scored over C&D in the past. On dangerous mark back over fences and he's 2-3 over C&D; interesting contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4.5/1 +44%) Sea Prince |
4.5/1(+44%) | (3) Sea Prince 4.5/1, Took well to chasing in the summer, winning a thin event at Stratford in August. Disappointed last 2 starts, however, so bit to prove after 7 months off. Has bit to prove after 222 days off and he needs to resume his progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/1 +21%) Dino Velvet |
11/1(+21%) | (5) Dino Velvet 11/1, Just fair nowadays and remains easy to oppose despite a plummeting mark. Record of 1-15 over fences and his last win was in July 2021; others stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/1 -75%) Here We Have It |
7/1(-75%) | (4) Here We Have It 7/1, Overcame poor position to win handicap chase at this C&D in December. Pulled up next 2 starts but took a step back in the right direction when fourth here (20.4f) last month. C&D winner in December but he's been disappointing since; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (1.88/1 -15%) Noahthirtytwored |
1.88/1(-15%) | (2) Noahthirtytwored 1.88/1, Progressive 4-time winner over hurdles who took his form up a notch over fences in the autumn, scoring at Newton Abbot prior to a good fourth in a Cheltenham novice (15.9f) in October. Fit from spin on Flat when runner-up at Worcester 16 days ago and remains of interest over fences. Unexposed chaser who was a good second in a Worcester handicap two weeks ago; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (7.5/1 +25%) Mr Coldstone |
7.5/1(+25%) | (6) Mr Coldstone 7.5/1, Yet to score over fences but easily ran his best race in this sphere when 2½ lengths second over C&D. However, failed to back that up here next time. Sole win was over hurdles in January 2021 and has mixed record over fences; reservations. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HERE WE HAVE IT showed up for a long way over an extended 2m4f here last month before fading late on. With that in mind, he may be worth taking a chance on dropped in trip, though Noahthirtytwored ought to provide a stern challenge on the back of a Worcester second. Sir Tivo has the ability to go well, while the consistent Sea Prince can't be ruled out either.
NOAHTHIRTYTWORED is a likeable type who remains of interest over fences after his good second at Worcester on only his third start in this sphere. Sir Tivo has had excuses of late so rates a threat, while Here We Have It took a step back in the right direction here last month.
Noahthirtytwored is respected but preference is for SIR TIVO, who is on a dangerous mark back over fences and is 2-3 over C&D.

1st (9) (3/1 +14%) Glory Sky |
3/1(+14%) | (9) Glory Sky 3/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 7 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to firm, 9/1) 8 days ago. Another step forward would give her a big chance. It looked a modest event in which she came up just short at Wetherby last week.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/1 -27%) Kracking |
7/1(-27%) | (4) Kracking 7/1, Promising sort. 4/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago, never nearer. Likely to improve and can't be ruled out. Sign of ability on debut but was slow to break then and again next time; bit risky.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3.33/1 +72%) Beauen Arrows |
3.33/1(+72%) | (1) Beauen Arrows 3.33/1, Fair gelding. Below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, 11/4) 35 days ago. Others make more appeal. Has placed form but he's 0-11 and has been contesting low-grade handicaps.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (12/1 +45%) Azeezan |
12/1(+45%) | (3) Azeezan 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, seventh of 15 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 26 days ago, slowly away. Up against it. Oisin Murphy booked but he smacks of one likely to come into his own in handicaps.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (2.25/1 -80%) Kitten Gloves |
2.25/1(-80%) | (12) Kitten Gloves 2.25/1, Promising individual. Second of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 22/1) on debut 22 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Difficult to oppose with progress on the cards. Sets the standard on her promising second over 6f at Wolverhampton; now tongue tied.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (8.5/1 +66%) Uno Grande |
8.5/1(+66%) | (7) Uno Grande 8.5/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 10 in minor event (50/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut. Off 6 months. Unlikely to feature. Always out the back when last to finish at Chelmsford (7f) in November when a 50-1 chance.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (150/1 -20%) Katie K |
150/1(-20%) | (2) Katie K 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Leicester (6f, heavy) 25 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Her fourth heavy defeat when nowhere in a Class 6 handicap at Leicester.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (20/1 -100%) Desert Swirl |
20/1(-100%) | (8) Desert Swirl 20/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in maiden (17/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 49 days ago. Needs to improve markedly for that initial experience. Weakened to finish eighth of the nine runners in an ordinary 7f maiden at Wolverhampton.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (150/1 -436%) Duisker |
150/1(-436%) | (11) Duisker 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden (28/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 12 days ago. Needs to do more. Limited promise so far under 7lb claimer Sophie Reed.. |

10th (5) (200/1 -60%) Two Plus Two |
200/1(-60%) | (5) Two Plus Two 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in minor event (300/1) at Newbury (7f, good) 5 days ago. Others preferred. Down the field in both his runs and there will be other days.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (25/1 -79%) The Craftymaster |
25/1(-79%) | (6) The Craftymaster 25/1, Master Carpenter gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Talking Hands and unreliable winner up to 1m Herbert Crescent. Worth a market check. Gelded half-brother to six winners of varying ability, notably Talking Hands (Listed).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (150/1 -650%) Autumn Lights |
150/1(-650%) | (10) Autumn Lights 150/1, 800 gns yearling, Harry Angel filly. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner). Not an obvious sort on paper. Cost 800gns as a yearling; first foal out of a 7f 2yo/1m2f winner (RPR 79).. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Glory Sky posted an improved effort when runner-up at Wetherby last Tuesday and she looks capable of winning at this level now switching to the all-weather. Preference, however, is for KITTEN GLOVES, who shaped as if she would relish this stiffer test after running on to finish second at Wolverhampton over 6f earlier in the month. Kracking needs to put his slow start at Southwell behind him, but it's too soon to write him off.
KITTEN GLOVES shaped well on debut and might only need to reproduce that sort of performance to open her account now fitted with a tongue tie. Glory Sky is the biggest threat on form but Kracking should improve, so he's another one to bear in mind.
There is precious little depth to this novice and it presents an excellent opportunity for KITTEN GLOVES to go one better.

1st (3) (4/1 +80%) Mr Zippi |
4/1(+80%) | (3) Mr Zippi 4/1, £10,000 3-y-o, Intello gelding. Closely related to a winner and half-brother to 4 winners on Flat, including smart 7f/1m winner Prince Eiji. Dam very smart 9f-10.5f winner. Should have the speed for this sort of test. Plenty to like on paper but yard is 0-11 in bumpers in recent years. |

2nd (7) (66/1 -32%) Conniegetaway |
66/1(-32%) | (7) Conniegetaway 66/1, Shantou filly who had little go right when last of 10 in bumper (66/1) at this C&D (good) on debut 9 days ago, forced wide from soon after start. Easy to look elsewhere. 66-1 for a mares' event over C&D (good) last Monday and she finished last of ten. |

3rd (4) (3/1 +45%) Senor Diaz |
3/1(+45%) | (4) Senor Diaz 3/1, Red Jazz gelding. Brother to 7f winner in Czech Republic Sparkle Shout and half-brother to a winner. Dam (h99), dual bumper winner/2m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful dual bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Front of House. Check betting. Yard had a well-backed bumper winner on Saturday; needs watching in market on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (2.75/1 +54%) Reggae De Baune |
2.75/1(+54%) | (2) Reggae De Baune 2.75/1, Spanish Moon gelding who made some appeal on paper but ran to just a poor level when fifth of 9 in bumper (5/1) at Carlisle (17f, soft) a couple of months ago, not ideally placed the way the race developed. Could leave that effort behind. Ran green in the mud at Carlisle and he should know much more this time; likely improver. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (1.88/1 +53%) Climbing |
1.88/1(+53%) | (1) Climbing 1.88/1, Clovis Du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Sunshade and fair hurdler/useful chaser Rapid Flight. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Close Touch. Had a wind op already and wears tongue tie/hood for debut. Equipment is applied on debut but he has a striking pedigree and needs a close look. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (80/1 -100%) Forceta |
80/1(-100%) | (6) Forceta 80/1, 200/1, badly needed experience when remote fourth of 7 in bumper at Newcastle (16.2f, standard) on debut 3 months ago. Big step forward required. Well held at 200-1 at Newcastle in February and remains best watched for now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A half-brother to a couple of useful performers, including a Listed winner who struck on debut, CLIMBING looks the one to be with for a stable capable of readying one first time out. Strutter disappointed when going off favourite on his introduction at Warwick but better can be expected here, while similar comments apply to Reggae De Baune for the in-form Donald McCain team.
STRUTTER was given a considerate introduction when finishing mid-field at Warwick last month and with improvement on the cards, Nicky Henderson's 4-y-o gets the verdict to come out on top now fitted with a hood. Reggae de Baune was up against it the way the race developed at Carlisle on debut so he may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Jamie Snowdon's newcomer Climbing.
4yo STRUTTER shaped with promise when favourite in a big field at Warwick last month and he's a key player for his top yard.

1st (6) (9/1 +25%) Baileysgutfeeling |
9/1(+25%) | (6) Baileysgutfeeling 9/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good, 7/1) 11 days ago. Hard to rely on. On a fair mark and ran with promise on his return; less good latest; return to AW can help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1/1 +9%) Solar Orbiter |
1/1(+9%) | (2) Solar Orbiter 1/1, Promising sort. 1/3, won 12-runner minor event at this course (6f), easily. Off 8 months. Makes handicap debut. Enters calculations on return. Won two 6f novices on AW last September in good fashion; 7f will suit; sure to be popular. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (18/1 -29%) Soar Above |
18/1(-29%) | (3) Soar Above 18/1, 3-time C&D winner. Third of 6 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Potentially well treated on old form. Conditions ideal and he ran a bit better than of late when third over C&D two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (22/1 -120%) With Respect |
22/1(-120%) | (11) With Respect 22/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in February. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (11/4) at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago, running on. Big player. Back in the groove after a long absence; up in class but returning to 7f will suit; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (4.5/1 +40%) Shades Of Summer |
4.5/1(+40%) | (7) Shades Of Summer 4.5/1, Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap (11/4) at Chelmsford City (7f) 27 days ago. Remains with potential and is likely to be on the premises from an excellent draw. First run over 7f was a winning one last month; may do better but this is a rise in class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (6/1 -20%) Satin Snake |
6/1(-20%) | (10) Satin Snake 6/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in February. 9/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, no match for winner. Booking of Murphy a plus. Visor back on. Conditions to suit and he has continued on the up this spring; should be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (14/1 -17%) Mohi |
14/1(-17%) | (5) Mohi 14/1, Respectable 3 lengths fourth of 8 to Sayifyouwill in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Effective over C&D but behind Sayifyouwill here three weeks ago; new headgear tried now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (10/1 +0%) Sayifyouwill |
10/1(+0%) | (4) Sayifyouwill 10/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (6/1) 21 days ago by head from Satin Snake. Should go well again. 7-18 on AW, including a good C&D win three weeks ago; key player despite a 3lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (125/1 -279%) Cry Havoc |
125/1(-279%) | (1) Cry Havoc 125/1, Course winner. 40/1, last of 6 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Others make more appeal. 5-time AW winner; looked rusty on this month's return; down in class and better expected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (150/1 -50%) Thunder Sun |
150/1(-50%) | (9) Thunder Sun 150/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. Off 17 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Frost. C&D winner as a 2yo; rarely seen since and hard to recommend after mammoth absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SOLAR ORBITER looked one to follow after another impressive display at Kempton in September, and Roger Varian's colt could make light work of his opening mark in handicaps. The progressive Shades Of Summer returned to winning ways when triumphing over 7f at Chelmsford last month and she may have more to offer over this distance, while Sayifyouwill is noted too.
SOLAR ORBITER was 2 from 2 last season and has the scope for a lot more improvement as a 4-y-o, so he's a confident choice to maintain his unbeaten record at the likely expense of With Respect, who arrives in top form. Shades of Summer is another one to consider.
Solar Orbiter will be popular but SAYIFYOUWILL is still improving and she can gain her fifth course success.

1st (5) (0.4/1 +56%) Myristica |
0.4/1(+56%) | (5) Myristica 0.4/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who went close on her Worcester hurdle debut 16 days ago. Arguably unlucky not to be awarded that race after receiving a bump from the winner approaching 2 out and can gain compensation now. Tongue tied first time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (11/1 -47%) Three Macks |
11/1(-47%) | (9) Three Macks 11/1, Fair maiden on the Flat up to 7f for Andrew Oliver. In the frame 3 times in maiden/novice events over hurdles for new yard but her form is only modest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (50/1 +50%) Miss Mocktail |
50/1(+50%) | (4) Miss Mocktail 50/1, Showed some ability in bumpers but off for 18 months prior to pulling up on Uttoxeter hurdle debut in December. Been off for a further 169 days. Hooded first time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (12/1 -41%) Phone Home |
12/1(-41%) | (8) Phone Home 12/1, Telescope filly offered something to work on when fourth of 6 in juvenile hurdle (5/1) at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) on debut 39 days ago. May well do better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (5/1 -43%) Night On The Town |
5/1(-43%) | (6) Night On The Town 5/1, Showed ability in bumpers last summer and set for third when falling at the last on her Warwick hurdle debut 23 days ago. Should be thereabouts assuming she's none the worse. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (50/1 -25%) Bella Madonna |
50/1(-25%) | (1) Bella Madonna 50/1, Third on the first of 2 outings in bumpers this spring. Makes hurdle debut. Probably best to look elsewhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (9/1 +0%) By Pass |
9/1(+0%) | (7) By Pass 9/1, Modest maiden on Flat whose stand out effort over hurdles came when third of 8 in juvenile at Hereford (2m, 125/1) in February. Beaten just over 15 lengths when fourth in Ludlow novice 10 days ago. Vulnerable again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (150/1 +0%) Miss Connaisseur |
150/1(+0%) | (3) Miss Connaisseur 150/1, Modest maiden on Flat at up to 7f. Behind from an early stage when pulled up on Fakenham hurdle debut on New Year's Day. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A decent performer on the level, MYRISTICA didn't have much issue with the switch to hurdles when narrowly denied at Worcester earlier in the month. The daughter of Harzand must hold every chance if building upon that effort and she should have too much for Three Macks and Night On The Town, who was running with credit when falling at the last on her jumping bow at Warwick.
This looks a decent opportunity for MYRISTICA to go one place better than on her Worcester hurdle debut earlier this month. Night On The Town, who would have been placed but for falling at the last on hurdle debut, and Jamie Snowden's Phone Home can fight it out for the forecast spot.
Flat recruit MYRISTICA is taken to step up on her Worcester hurdling debut second, with improvement likely also from Phone Home.

1st (2) (8/1 -7%) Cemhaan |
8/1(-7%) | (2) Cemhaan 8/1, Three-time winner last season and probably needed his reappearance at Newmarket 17 days ago. Drops back in grade and has scored here in the past. May have needed the run at Newmarket on his return; of interest on last-year's best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (2.75/1 +39%) Sea King |
2.75/1(+39%) | (3) Sea King 2.75/1, 11/1, respectable seventh of 16 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good). Off 7 months. Makes polytrack debut. Not discounted. Useful form over middle distances last year; should be capable of even better at four. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (2.75/1 +31%) Balhambar |
2.75/1(+31%) | (9) Balhambar 2.75/1, Promising sort. Good twelfth of 19 in handicap (40/1) at Royal Ascot (12f, good to firm). Off 11 months/gelded. Absence is a concern but he has plenty of potential and is worth taking a chance on. 1m2f maiden winner; stiff task in a hot Royal Ascot handicap when last seen; unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (25/1 -127%) Civil Law |
25/1(-127%) | (4) Civil Law 25/1, Six wins from 20 Flat runs. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 9/4) 34 days ago, shaping as if still in top form. Worthy of interest. Had good year in 2022 & not beaten far over 1m2f latest; others may be stronger stayers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (66/1 -313%) Isle Of Sark |
66/1(-313%) | (8) Isle Of Sark 66/1, Below form seventh of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Something to find on form. Useful at his best for Joseph O'Brien; sold 26,000gns last summer; absence to overcome. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8.5/1 -13%) Evania |
8.5/1(-13%) | (6) Evania 8.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in February. 20¾ lengths last of 9 to Luisa Casati in listed race at Goodwood (12f, good to soft, 12/1) 19 days ago, faltering. Others make more appeal. 3-6 on AW, including C&D; below par on slow turf (Listed) latest; stil has potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (28/1 -40%) Star Caliber |
28/1(-40%) | (10) Star Caliber 28/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, soft, 33/1) 18 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Two heavy defeats for this yard and he has too much to prove for comfort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (4/1 +0%) Shockwaves |
4/1(+0%) | (5) Shockwaves 4/1, 7/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days ago, easily. Significantly up in trip. Could do better still, so likely to make his presence felt if he gets home. Impressed over 1m on his return; unexposed and 12lb rise less of a worry than the new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (6/1 +33%) Barenboim |
6/1(+33%) | (1) Barenboim 6/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Last of 7 in handicap (6/1) at Ripon (16f, heavy) 25 days ago. Back down in trip. Return to AW will help. Good run of form came to an end switched to turf latest; can revive back on AW. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
SHOCKWAVES created a big impression when winning easily over a mile at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago. The unexposed four-year-old has to overcome a 12lb rise in the ratings and a significant step up in trip, but it would be no surprise to see him add another victory to his record here. Cemhaan disappointed on his return to action at Newmarket recently but it is far too soon to be writing him off. Others to note are Barenboim, Balhambar and Protected Guest.
BALHAMBAR was progressive as a 3-y-o and, while an 11-month absence (has been gelded) suggests there may have been some issues, he's still worth a chance to make a successful reappearance up against mostly more exposed types. Recent Lingfield winner Shockwaves looks a danger if he stays the longer trip and Protected Guest can't be ruled out.
If Shockwaves stays he will prove hard to beat but BALHAMBAR still has potential and is interesting on his seasonal return.

1st (3) (2.25/1 +36%) Secret Trix |
2.25/1(+36%) | (3) Secret Trix 2.25/1, Off the mark in novice handicap at Fakenham (23.4f) in November and shaped as if still in good form both starts since, set too much to do when third at Lingfield in February. Cheekpieces on first time and he remains unexposed at this trip. Respected, though have to hope this is run as enough of a test; cheekpieces now go on.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (3.33/1 +33%) Coconut Twist |
3.33/1(+33%) | (6) Coconut Twist 3.33/1, Showed a bit in his three qualifying runs over hurdles but failed to improve for the switch to handicaps earlier this year. However, upped in trip he bounced back to form when runner-up at Fontwell (21.8f) a fortnight ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Didn't excel over 3m in points, but finished off well at end of 2m6f at Fontwell latest.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (2.25/1 +25%) Callisto's King |
2.25/1(+25%) | (2) Callisto's King 2.25/1, Ran best race over hurdles when second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (2m3f) in November, bumping into a well-treated rival. Again shaped well when fourth of 18 at Exeter (strong form for the grade) and can be thereabouts once more with cheekpieces on first time. Exeter fourth latest (2m2f, good) again hinted at a need for further; cheekpieces added.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5.5/1 +0%) First Man |
5.5/1(+0%) | (5) First Man 5.5/1, Missed 2021/22 but proved he retains ability when third in 19-runner handicap at Doncaster (24,4f) in January. Ran no sort of race over fences next time, but soon back to form returned to hurdling when third at Sedgefield in February. Major player having had a wind op. Weakened only late on twice last winter; chance off good mark if wind surgery works.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (8/1 -140%) Western Jill |
8/1(-140%) | (1) Western Jill 8/1, Showed plenty to work on making hurdling debut when third in novice at this course (20.4f) in February. Ran to a similar level next 2 starts, before getting no further than the first on her chasing bow. Could have more to offer back over hurdles with hood on first time. First-fence unseat on chasing debut latest; retains potential as a stayer; hood now added.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (66/1 -65%) Sight Nor Seen |
66/1(-65%) | (7) Sight Nor Seen 66/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in Ireland at his best but has shown little for present connections, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Easy enough to look elsewhere. No upturn in fortunes for the drop back to around 2m5f last time; down another 4lb.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
COCONUT TWIST filled second place over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell a couple of weeks ago and the step up in trip could help him to go one better here. Callisto's King remains unexposed and the application of first-time cheekpieces could bring about a career best from the six-year-old. Others who make the shortlist are Secret Trix, Western Jill and First Man.
FIRST MAN soon returned to form back over hurdles when third at Sedgefield in February and, having had a wind op since then, he could be ready to take advantage of his current mark. Callisto's King has shaped well on his last 2 starts and could be the main danger in first-time cheekpieces, while Western Jill also merits consideration.
Possible improvers over a staying trip on ground they'll appreciate, CALLISTO'S KING and Western Jill are preferred in that order.

1st (3) (4/1 +11%) Mount Olympus |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Mount Olympus 4/1, Unreliable individual. 11/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) in December, hanging left over 1f out and no response. Yard switch needs to perk him up with cheekpieces/tongue tie discarded. Inconsistent for former yard but starts out for Alan King off a low mark in a weak race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (16/1 -33%) Trusty Scout |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Trusty Scout 16/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good, 33/1) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Has good chance on form. It was a weak race he won in January but he did it easily and this could be run to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2.75/1 +31%) Meisterzinger |
2.75/1(+31%) | (1) Meisterzinger 2.75/1, Returned in fine form earlier this year, landing back-to-back minor events here (latterly over C&D) in February. Raced closer to the pace than ideal when well beaten at Bath in April and bounce back distinctly possible returned to AW. Two course wins this winter; below par on slow turf latest; type to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/1 +25%) Bug Boy |
9/1(+25%) | (7) Bug Boy 9/1, Course winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 71 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Looks competitive on form. Course winner off 2lb higher last summer; hard to win with on AW though and others safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (4.5/1 -13%) Reset Button |
4.5/1(-13%) | (8) Reset Button 4.5/1, C&D winner. 6/4, respectable fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (13.3f) 48 days ago, challenging 2f out and weakening final 1f. No surprise to see him thereabouts again returned to scene of last success with Oisin Murphy in the plate. Not at best last time but this C&D winner is interesting on this winter's best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/1 +25%) Endofastorm |
9/1(+25%) | (2) Endofastorm 9/1, Very good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 28/1) 25 days ago, having run of race. Possibilities if backing that up now. Best run for this yard when 3rd upped to this trip latest; unexposed over middle distances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (4.5/1 +50%) Knight Of Kings |
4.5/1(+50%) | (6) Knight Of Kings 4.5/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 17/2) 25 days ago. Hooded for 1st time and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour. Not fired after long absence but down in the weights and hood is now added; check betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (150/1 -436%) Eaux De Vie |
150/1(-436%) | (10) Eaux De Vie 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 66/1). Off over 2 years. Up in trip. Absent for 869 days and not easily recommended. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (66/1 -164%) Shipton Moyne |
66/1(-164%) | (9) Shipton Moyne 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat who surpassed exploits in that sphere when landing 5-runner Market Rasen juvenile (16.5f) last June. Not in anything like the same form at Stratford the following month though, and absent since. Market may well prove a useful guide. Poor Flat form but did win a 3yo hurdle last summer; absent since poor run last July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (20/1 -67%) Jeanette May |
20/1(-67%) | (12) Jeanette May 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 17/2, good third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (13.3f) 48 days ago. Can give another good account eased back down in trip. Good run over 13.5f at Chelmsford last month; dangerous if returning in the same form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (28/1 -12%) Junoesque |
28/1(-12%) | (5) Junoesque 28/1, Below form fifth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Brighton (11.9f, good) 22 days ago, going off too hard. Others more persuasive. Brighton specialist who lurks on a good mark; easy lead unlikely in this field though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (66/1 -32%) Private Bryan |
66/1(-32%) | (14) Private Bryan 66/1, 100/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 54 days ago, doing too much too soon. Still, plenty to find in any case on what he has achieved to date. Poor form to date, including when going off too hard upped to this trip last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (50/1 -213%) Afternoon Tea |
50/1(-213%) | (11) Afternoon Tea 50/1, 12/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. Ran okay at Lingfield in March but less good twice since; may improve for today's trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (80/1 -142%) My Lady Claire |
80/1(-142%) | (13) My Lady Claire 80/1, Course winner. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 22/1) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Not coming here in much form and others look safer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ENDOFASTORM was only beaten a length into third in a similar event at Wolverhampton late last month and, off the same mark, the daughter of Galileo Gold could be hard to stop here. Reset Button has the ability to go well off his current rating in a race of this nature, while Jeanette May and Meisterzinger are others who merit places on the shortlist.
RESET BUTTON comes here operating just 1 lb above his last winning mark and, having run with credit on the back of a wind op when fifth at Chelmsford last month, he could be the answer partnered by Oisin Murphy. Trusty Scout and Meisterzinger head up the dangers, with Knight of Kings also worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.
Meisterzinger will appreciate the return to this track but ENDOFASTORM could have more to offer over middle distances.

1st (5) (3.33/1 +58%) Malina Ocarina |
3.33/1(+58%) | (5) Malina Ocarina 3.33/1, Bagged second victory over hurdles in a Uttoxeter seller during summer 2021 and similar form when runner-up on 2 of her 3 starts in handicaps last summer. Hasn't returned in top form this spring but mark has eased. Dual hurdle winner who is on a reduced mark but she needs to rediscover some spark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (14/1 -87%) Champagne Town |
14/1(-87%) | (3) Champagne Town 14/1, Winning pointer. Fair form in a bumper and maiden hurdle in Ireland last spring. Below that level in a Doncaster novice hurdle for new yard in March and too free on handicap debut a fortnight ago. No surprise a hood goes on. Point winner who is lightly raced under rules but he needs improvement with a hood added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (2.5/1 +9%) Having A Barney |
2.5/1(+9%) | (7) Having A Barney 2.5/1, On the up since sent handicapping, off the mark at Ayr in March and form of subsequent second to Blue Bikini at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) was boosted when the winner went in again next time. 23.3f may have just tested his stamina at Hexham so he remains of firm interest. Ayr winner in March and he seemed stretched at 2m7f last time; respected back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (6/1 +33%) Robber's Bridge |
6/1(+33%) | (10) Robber's Bridge 6/1, Took a big step forward when second at Wincanton (21.4f) in March, unlucky to bump into a well-punted one. Heavy defeat over 3m here last time needs casting aside. Down in trip. Inconsistent nine-race maiden who was disappointing here last time; risks attached. |

5th (6) (10/1 -11%) Mrs Kinsella |
10/1(-11%) | (6) Mrs Kinsella 10/1, Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler who showed nothing in 2 starts for Billy Aprahamian. Respectable third starting out for this yard at Hereford last month but never really looked like justifying support at Ludlow. Cheekpieces now on. Inconsistent 11-race maiden but has possibilities if cheekpieces give her a boost. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (12/1 +0%) Alchemystique |
12/1(+0%) | (1) Alchemystique 12/1, Winless since 2021 and fit from a couple of good placed efforts on the AW, she could manage only mid-field at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Prone to the odd mistake but this is a slight drop in grade, at least. Course winner who has claims if she can get back near best on this drop back in grade. |

7th (2) (25/1 -25%) Bentham |
25/1(-25%) | (2) Bentham 25/1, Winless since landing a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in July 2020 but there have been positives to glean from some of last season's efforts. Left Gavin Cromwell since last seen in March. Ex-Irish 9yo; sole hurdle win was in 2020 and he looks opposable on his stable debut. |

8th (4) (28/1 -300%) Rafferty |
28/1(-300%) | (4) Rafferty 28/1, Won 2 of first 3 starts for this yard, latterly at Southwell (20.4f, soft) in January 2022. Unable to continue the good work later in the year and now has questions to answer reverting to hurdles minus usual hood. Returns from another absence and he needs a major revival back over hurdles; hood removed. |

9th (8) (9/1 -125%) Boomtime Banker |
9/1(-125%) | (8) Boomtime Banker 9/1, Returned from a long absence an improved model, winning handicaps at Worcester (20f) and Plumpton (20.5f) during middle of last year. 4 lb higher now and has another absence to overcome, but she should make a bold bid for the hat-trick provided all's well. Lightly raced 9yo who won both her starts last year; key player again in hat-trick bid. |

|F| (9) (8/1 +50%) Rainbow Jet |
8/1(+50%) | (9) Rainbow Jet 8/1, Fairly useful handicapper at best on the Flat but little form in this sphere, albeit she races off her correct mark this time. Fair on Flat in her prime but unplaced in all seven runs over hurdles; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BOOMTIME BANKER won on her only two appearances of 2022 and it would be no surprise if she were to rack up the hat-trick here, despite the 248-day break. Having A Barney has not been disgraced on either start since winning at Ayr in March and may prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Robber's Bridge and Malina Ocarina.
HAVING A BARNEY has been in top form this spring, shaping well over 23.3f at Hexham last time and back in trip, he can regain the winning thread. Boomtime Banker is clearly fragile but she's won her last 2 so needs considering, along with Malina Ocarina.
The vote goes to HAVING A BARNEY (nap), who looked stretched over 2m7f at Hexham and could resume his progress back at this trip.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
