Races & Results Sunday 31st July 2022
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Captain Square 0.62/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Andrew Balding. Has taken well to hurdling for his new yard, but he was fortunate to win at Newton Abbot in June and he was found out under a penalty at Stratford (Rolypolymoly ahead of him) since, not finding much under pressure.
3
2nd (3) (16/1 -14%) Anger Management
16
16/1(-14%)
(3) Anger Management 16/1, No form on the Flat so hardly strikes as an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles.
4
3rd (4) (1.5/1 +40%) Via Serica
1.5
1.5/1(+40%)
(4) Via Serica 1.5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Has had wind surgery since finishing down the field in Sandown handicap for new yard last month. Interesting to see how much confidence there is behind him in the betting on hurdle debut.
(3) We'll Go Again 2.5/1, Fair hurdler. Pulled up at Limerick when last seen 7 months ago, but had made the frame in 3 of his 4 previous starts over timber. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Kinirons. Sets the standard.
7
2nd (7) (4/1 +0%) Kingston Sunflower
4
4/1(+0%)
(7) Kingston Sunflower 4/1, Fair maiden at best on Flat in France. Far too headstrong in 2 maiden hurdles for current yard this season, but was still in front when bad mistake 2 out at Huntingdon last time. Could go well.
6
3rd (6) (6/1 +50%) Flighty Bride
6
6/1(+50%)
(6) Flighty Bride 6/1, Hit the crossbar twice in novice/maiden company last summer. Went backwards from return when well-beaten seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell last month. Others preferred.
4
4th (4) (5.5/1 +50%) Boundsy Boy
5.5
5.5/1(+50%)
(4) Boundsy Boy 5.5/1, Modest on Flat and similar level of form in handicaps over hurdles, fourth at Southwell in June before a first-flight fall back there later the same month. Improvement required back in a maiden.
9
5th (9) (11/1 +8%) Nastasiya
11
11/1(+8%)
(9) Nastasiya 11/1, Fair on Flat and stepped up on previous efforts over timber when second at Catterick in November. Possibly needed run after 6 months off when well held on stable debut last time. Has had a wind op/hood back on.
5
6th (5) (5.5/1 -10%) Liberated Lad
5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(5) Liberated Lad 5.5/1, Three-time winner on the Flat (at up to 1½m), who finished fifth of 9 in a juvenile at this C&D on his only start over hurdles back in December. Entitled to do better now tried over obstacles again.
1
7th (1) (12/1 -60%) Codey Jones
12
12/1(-60%)
(1) Codey Jones 12/1, Unplaced in points, ran to a modest level on hurdling debut when fourth of 10 in a Worcester novice 17 days ago, having run of the race but he did lose a shoe. Could do better with that run behind him.
2
8th (2) (16/1 -33%) Luke San
16
16/1(-33%)
(2) Luke San 16/1, Placed first 2 starts in bumpers before off 10 months prior to hurdles debut in June. Possibly still needed the run when well-beaten fifth of 9 in a Worcester maiden last time, but much more needed.
LTO Selection:
13:35 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Kiss N Cuddle 1.25/1, Improved since visored, winning a 6f seller and 7f nursery at Leicester this month. Another good run when collared only near the finish at Beverley (7.5f) on Tuesday. Leading form claims but the outside stall dents confidence slightly.
2
2nd (2) (3.33/1 -11%) Have Secret
3.33
3.33/1(-11%)
(2) Have Secret 3.33/1, Promise on all 3 of his qualifying runs and appeals as one who'll go on to better things in nurseries. Nicely drawn in 2. Big player.
3
3rd (3) (4.5/1 +18%) Midnight Flame
4.5
4.5/1(+18%)
(3) Midnight Flame 4.5/1, Fair form over 6f. Handily drawn for nursery debut and player under Marquand if seeing out the longer trip.
6
4th (6) (14/1 -27%) In The Storm
14
14/1(-27%)
(6) In The Storm 14/1, Hasn't progressed from debut but handicaps do provide him with a more realistic chance.
4
5th (4) (7.5/1 -7%) Chuck Taylor
7.5
7.5/1(-7%)
(4) Chuck Taylor 7.5/1, Placed in 6f maidens on his last 2 outings and he's another in the line-up who has the potential for better in handicaps.
9
6th (9) (14/1 +0%) Emerald Duchess
14
14/1(+0%)
(9) Emerald Duchess 14/1, Has more than hinted at ability in 3 outings over sprint trips. Given a bit of a break ahead of nursery debut over a longer trip and rates a likely improver in this sphere.

7th (8) (50/1 -52%) Pink Stripes
50
50/1(-52%)
(8) Pink Stripes 50/1, Modest form at best in 3 outings over 6f here. Steps up in trip for nursery debut. Others are preferred.

14
2nd (14) (16/1 +52%) Lariat
16
16/1(+52%)
(14) Lariat 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Leopardstown (15f, good) 10 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Merits consideration.

15
7th (15) (14/1 +30%) Prince Zaltar
14
14/1(+30%)
(15) Prince Zaltar 14/1, Winner in hurdle at Tramore in April. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (10/3) at Listowel (20f, soft) 55 days ago, dropping away soon after 3 out. Needs a couple of these to falter.

80
80/1(+20%)
(17) Presenting Dylan 80/1, One win from 21 NH runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Killarney (17f, good) 16 days ago. Uphill task.
(1) Pencreek 0.73/1, Has improved for the addition of cheekpieces, winning at Worcester last month and following up in good style at Stratford (19.5f) on Thursday. Can complete a hat-trick.
2
2nd (2) (4/1 +43%) Due Reward
4
4/1(+43%)
(2) Due Reward 4/1, Useful hurdler/chaser on his day in Ireland, but profile is rather hit and miss and he's been a well-held fourth back chasing on his last 2 starts. Others arrive with more compelling claims.
4
3rd (4) (3.5/1 +22%) Dindin
3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(4) Dindin 3.5/1, Yet to strike on these shores but is in form, going very close at Newton Abbot (21f, good) on Monday. Likely to give another good account.
3
4th (3) (9/1 -13%) Thomas Todd
9
9/1(-13%)
(3) Thomas Todd 9/1, Fairly useful chaser who returned from 5 months off to win twice in spring 2021. Operating below that level in his 4 outings since but the fact his yard has been among the winners this week provides hope.
(7) Frankness 2.25/1, Frankel filly. Dam, 7f winner, sister to smart winner up to 10.4f Arabian Queen out of smart 1m-1½m winner Barshiba. 10/3, third of 6 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago, green and not beaten far. Likely to improve and needs considering.
2
2nd (2) (1/1 +0%) Endeared
1
1/1(+0%)
(2) Endeared 1/1, Green when third of 10 in maiden at Doncaster on debut and duly built on that when just denied in similar event there 24 days ago, finishing with plenty left down in trip. Return to 7f will suit and has more to offer.
5
3rd (5) (16/1 +20%) Three Yorkshiremen
16
16/1(+20%)
(5) Three Yorkshiremen 16/1, Foaled March 5. 16,000 gns foal, 21,000 gns yearling, €35,000 2-y-o, Massaat colt. Half-brother to winner up to 7f Primeiro Boy and 6f winner Coco Bear. Dam unraced. Yard 4-33 with 2-y-o newcomers this year.

10
10/1(-25%)
(6) Utilis 10/1, Did best of the newcomers when third of 7 in novice event at Doncaster (7f) and went close at Hamilton (6f) 16 days ago. Should be in the mix again.

12
12/1(+33%)
(8) Zephina 12/1, Fair filly. Respectable third of 6 in nursery at this C&D (good to firm, 9/1) 23 days ago. More needed.

6.5/1(+7%)
(3) Perfect Play 6.5/1, All the better for debut when second of 6 in maiden (11/2) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly.

10
10/1(+38%)
(12) Kells Priory 10/1, 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give a good account without.

16
16/1(+43%)
(7) Ballyadam Destiny 16/1, Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in March. 16/1, respectable fourth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft) 85 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on.

9
9/1(-80%)
(18) Rebellious Gale 9/1, Fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Tipperary (16.8f, soft, 3/1) on debut over fences 14 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Switches from chase to hurdles.

14
14/1(+22%)
(15) Not So Simple 14/1, 15/2, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap hurdle at Sligo (26f, good to soft) 21 days ago, always holding on. Enters calculations.

14
14/1(-17%)
(4) Low Lie The Fields 14/1, 12/1, below form tenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 162 days ago, finishing tired. Up in trip.

16
16/1(-113%)
(9) Balinaboola Steel 16/1, 9/2, won 12-runner handicap chase at Limerick (22f, good) 11 days ago, shaken up to assert. Switches from chase to hurdles.
5
13th (5) (14/1 +65%) Song Of Earth
14
14/1(+65%)
(5) Song Of Earth 14/1, Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in April. Bit below form eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at this course (22.5f, good) 4 days ago. Something to find on form.

|PU| (19) (25/1 +0%) Siberian Star
25
25/1(+0%)
(19) Siberian Star 25/1, Latest win in chase at Leopardstown in December. 10/1, ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24f, good to soft) 51 days ago.
14
|PU| (14) (28/1 +0%) Fill The Tank
28
28/1(+0%)
(14) Fill The Tank 28/1, Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.
(5) Kinondo Kwetu 2.25/1, Unbeaten in 2 starts in points and progressed over hurdles last term, quickening to get off the mark at Stratford on final start last season. Type to improve over fences and rates a player on chase debut.
7
2nd (7) (11/1 +21%) Kauto D'amour
11
11/1(+21%)
(7) Kauto D'amour 11/1, Out of sorts over hurdles and has looked fairly reluctant when faced with a fence so far, pulled up long way out at Hexham last time. Can't be fancied on any recent evidence.
6
3rd (6) (2.75/1 +8%) Eureu Du Boulay
2.75
2.75/1(+8%)
(6) Eureu Du Boulay 2.75/1, C&D winner showed a return to form when second at Stratford 21 days ago. Remains well treated on best form and isn't discounted from same mark.
2
4th (2) (6/1 -100%) Zoffalee
6
6/1(-100%)
(2) Zoffalee 6/1, Runner-up on each of his last 3 starts, performing up to his recent best when seconf in 10-runner Southwell handicap 34 days ago. Jumping and attitude aren't always convincing but he can be inolved if putting his best foot forward.
3
5th (3) (4/1 +33%) Railway Muice
4
4/1(+33%)
(3) Railway Muice 4/1, Won 4 times last season (including over C&D) after joining this yard from Ireland but two outings this summer have been less promising, so bounce back is required.
1
6th (1) (9/1 +36%) Royal Village
9
9/1(+36%)
(1) Royal Village 9/1, Fortunate winner here early last season and seeming retains no enthusiasm nowadays, failing to complete on each of his last 4 starts. Easily passed over.
(3) Ebro River 2.5/1, Group 1 winner as a juvenile. Below-par runs on all 3 starts this year raise doubts as to whether he's trained on. Handily drawn here but will need first-time blinkers to give him a lift.
10
2nd (10) (3.5/1 +56%) Princess Shabnam
3.5
3.5/1(+56%)
(10) Princess Shabnam 3.5/1, Improved when gaining the third win of her career in 6f Chelmsford handicap last month. Backed that up when close second in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Ought to be competitive now stepping back up to listed level.
5
3rd (5) (2.5/1 +44%) Ventura Diamond
2.5
2.5/1(+44%)
(5) Ventura Diamond 2.5/1, Bombed out on her Haydock reappearance in May but she did post some smart efforts when placed at listed/Group3 level last season and major player from the 1 stall if bouncing back to her best after a short break. Goes very well in the mud so any rain would boost her chance.
7
4th (7) (7.5/1 +58%) Tippy Toes
7.5
7.5/1(+58%)
(7) Tippy Toes 7.5/1, Useful filly who completed AW hat-trick in listed event at Chelmsford on return in April. Unable to reproduce that form on turf since, though.
1
5th (1) (7/1 +36%) Bielsa
7
7/1(+36%)
(1) Bielsa 7/1, Career highlight when doing a solo up the near rail to win the Ayr Gold Cup last September. Operating below his best so far this season and the outside stall could make life tricky here.
9
6th (9) (18/1 +28%) Illustrating
18
18/1(+28%)
(9) Illustrating 18/1, Placed twice at Group 3 level as a 2-y-o. Better effort this term when 2¾ lengths fifth of 6 in Sandown listed last month. First-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are quickly discarded.
8
7th (8) (16/1 +60%) Hellomydarlin
16
16/1(+60%)
(8) Hellomydarlin 16/1, Useful filly who was a good ½-length third in 5f Ayr listed (good to soft) last month. Something can't have been right when tailed-off last of 4 in Newmarket handicap since.
LTO Selection:
14:55 Chester Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(7) Politesse 2.25/1, Useful chaser. Upped in trip, 11/2, resumed progress when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Roscommon (24.3f, good) 47 days ago, impressively. Has to be taken seriously.
1
2nd (1) (1.1/1 +41%) Battleoverdoyen
1.1
1.1/1(+41%)
(1) Battleoverdoyen 1.1/1, Smart chaser. C&D winner. Eight wins from 23 NH runs. Fared better than of late when fifth of 21 in Galway Plate at this C&D (good, 28/1) 4 days ago. Last year's winner of the race can go well again.
4
3rd (4) (33/1 -32%) Snugsborough Benny
33
33/1(-32%)
(4) Snugsborough Benny 33/1, Fairly useful chaser nowadays. C&D winner. 15/2, beaten long way on first run since leaving Liam P. Cusack when third of 8 in hunter chase at Killarney (23f, good to soft) 76 days ago. Best watched.
5
4th (5) (40/1 +68%) Dawn Raider
40
40/1(+68%)
(5) Dawn Raider 40/1, Fair chaser, latest win at Leicester in March. 3/1, last of 4 in handicap chase at Bangor (24f, good to firm) 78 days ago. Up against it.
2
5th (2) (11/1 -38%) Doctor Duffy
11
11/1(-38%)
(2) Doctor Duffy 11/1, Useful chaser. 33/1, possibly amiss when pulled up in Gr 3 chase at Killarney (20f, good to soft) 76 days ago won by Easy Game, struggling badly long way out. Tough to assess at present.
6
|U| (6) (4.5/1 -13%) Agusta Gold
4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(6) Agusta Gold 4.5/1, Useful chaser. 12/1, ran no sort of race when tenth of 14 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft) 23 days ago. No surprise to see her bounce back as the Mullins' representative in the race.
(1) Landen Calling 2.75/1, First-time blinkers seemingly worked the oracle as he showed much improved form to get off the mark at Uttoxeter in April. Similar form in defeat on his last couple of outings so he's one for the shortlist with yard in excellent nick.
2
2nd (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Belles Benefit
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(2) Belles Benefit 4.5/1, Landed a gamble in good style on first run for yard at Fontwell last month and fair efforts in defeat the last twice, latest when runner-up at Cartmel back in handicap company just over a fortnight ago. Place claims yet again.
5
3rd (5) (2.75/1 +0%) Mac Suibhne
2.75
2.75/1(+0%)
(5) Mac Suibhne 2.75/1, More miss than hit for previous connections in Ireland, but was second between the flags in May and recently went one better back hurdling at this track (20.6f, good) on debut for Micky Hammond. Unlucky not to make it 2-2 for this yard at Worcester 17 days ago and well worth another chance.
7
4th (7) (4.5/1 +72%) Jack Thunder
4.5
4.5/1(+72%)
(7) Jack Thunder 4.5/1, Fair form at best over hurdles for Charlie Mann, but offered little starting out for this yard after 14 months off at Newcastle in March and possibly still needed the run after a further 3 months at Worcester 6 weeks ago. Difficult to assess at present.
3
|U| (3) (7/1 -75%) Belvedere Blast
7
7/1(-75%)
(3) Belvedere Blast 7/1, Modest at best on the Flat but better over hurdles, finishing second here before going one better at Hexham (2½m) last month. Confirmed that improvement when runner-up back here just over a fortnight ago and he's one to look out for upped in trip on handicap debut.
6
|PU| (6) (25/1 -56%) Martalmix'jac
25
25/1(-56%)
(6) Martalmix'jac 25/1, Showed first form upped in trip/fitted with a hood when fifth in a 19.7f maiden at Hereford in early April but looked unsuited by the step back in trip after 3 months off at Worcester last time. New trip tried for this handicap debut and market check advised.
9
|PU| (9) (28/1 +15%) Tumbling Dice
28
28/1(+15%)
(9) Tumbling Dice 28/1, Reacted positively to cheekpieces when winning handicap at Catterick (25f) on New Year's Day. Well held last 4 starts though, labouring a fair way out at Southwell earlier this month and hopes pinned on a return to the smaller obstacles.
(1) Fools Rush In 6.5/1, Prominent racer who was successful 4 times in a productive 2021 campaign, including twice at this track. Put up a career-best effort in defeat at Haydock earlier this month and with the talented 5 lb claimer Harry Davies back on board, he's fancied to be bang there.
2
2nd (2) (4/1 +0%) Red Mirage
4
4/1(+0%)
(2) Red Mirage 4/1, Three-time all weather winner for Mark Johnston who has made a bright start for new yard, successful in handicaps at Chelmsford/this C&D in the spring. Stumbled start, not in same form when third at Ffos Las (7.3f) since and he's no forlorn hope.
6
3rd (6) (20/1 +29%) Paws For Thought
20
20/1(+29%)
(6) Paws For Thought 20/1, Came desperately close to notching a third success at this track on reappearance in May but he's failed to kick on from that, down the field at Ffos Las earlier this month. Just 1 lb above last winning mark and return to this venue could prove the catalyst.
9
4th (9) (12/1 +25%) Sweeping
12
12/1(+25%)
(9) Sweeping 12/1, Returned with a career-best effort on all-weather/handicap debut when runner-up at Wolverhampton but below that level back on the turf on 3 subsequent outings. Mark continues to ease but needs to show more before becoming on interest.
4
5th (4) (6.5/1 +13%) Master Zoffany
6.5
6.5/1(+13%)
(4) Master Zoffany 6.5/1, Scored twice here in the first half of last season and unfancied in the betting, shaped better than the bare result after 9 months off when mid-field in Bunbury Cup at Newmarket earlier this month. One to keep an eye on with that under his belt back at this venue.
11
6th (11) (8/1 +56%) Tollard Royal
8
8/1(+56%)
(11) Tollard Royal 8/1, Successful on 2 of his 3 starts in novices, making light of a 6-month absence at Beverley (8.5f) in April. Not disgraced when fifth pitched in to strong edition of Silver Bowl at Haydock in May but gave himself no chance of getting home upped in trip at Royal Ascot since. Not one to give up on.
8
7th (8) (20/1 +20%) Gifted Ruler
20
20/1(+20%)
(8) Gifted Ruler 20/1, Useful sort but didn't offer much in a big-field York handicap on his reappearance run for new trainer Hugo Palmer. Again well below his best upped in trip at Haydock last month and he's hard to make a good case for after those efforts.
12
8th (12) (6/1 +20%) Yanifer
6
6/1(+20%)
(12) Yanifer 6/1, Gained some much-deserved reward for his consistency when opening account for the season at Doncaster in June and followed up in good style over 7f here earlier this month. Rattled up a hat-trick during last summer and no surprise should he repeat that feat today.
7
9th (7) (22/1 +33%) Gabrial The Devil
22
22/1(+33%)
(7) Gabrial The Devil 22/1, Course specialist who is yet to fire this season, a step back up to 6f failing to offer any signs of revival at York 8 days ago. Mark drops a further 2 lb but tough to support on recent evidence.
14
10th (14) (16/1 -33%) Artaois
16
16/1(-33%)
(14) Artaois 16/1, Fairly useful performer who scored over C&D on his second start at 2. Produced a respectable effort despite the drop to sprinting when third at Kempton last month (gelded since) and while it remains early days, others seemingly arrive with stronger credentials.
13
11th (13) (33/1 -83%) Gabrial The Wire
33
33/1(-83%)
(13) Gabrial The Wire 33/1, C&D winner who capitalised on reduced mark to score at Doncaster (7f, heavy) in October. Few of his runs easily excused this term but that wasn't the case at York 8 days ago. This a tougher race and tough to see him involved despite a sliding mark.
5
12th (5) (6.5/1 +28%) Oneforthegutter
6.5
6.5/1(+28%)
(5) Oneforthegutter 6.5/1, Six-figure breeze-up buy who overcame a tardy start to make a winning debut at Haydock in July. Stepped up on reappearance when mid-field on handicap debut at Epsom early last month but not in same form in Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot 12 days later. More needed.
10
13th (10) (14/1 -75%) My Little Tip
14
14/1(-75%)
(10) My Little Tip 14/1, Completed the hat-trick on final 3 starts of 2-y-o campaign but things not gone quite so well this term, never figuring over an inadequate trip on first run for his new yard at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago (rider also reported that saddle had slipped). May well bounce back here from plum stall.
LTO Selection:
15:30 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Vado Forte 16/1, Standout effort for this yard when making a winning start at Limerick in October. Fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good, 22/1) 16 days ago. More needed.
14
2nd (14) (6.5/1 +28%) Benefit Run
6.5
6.5/1(+28%)
(14) Benefit Run 6.5/1, Below form returned to hurdling from a much lower mark after 6 months off when seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good, 10/1) 16 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Could well have a say in proceedings.
10

2.75
2.75/1(+83%)
(10) Ferdia 2.75/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, respectable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (16f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase.

12
12/1(+33%)
(4) January Jets 12/1, Ran poorly when ninth of 11 in minor event hurdle at Wexford (17f, good to soft, 10/1) 78 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Blinkers on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for on recent evidence.
6
5th (6) (3/1 +50%) Russian Diamond
3
3/1(+50%)
(6) Russian Diamond 3/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 20 in handicap chase (10/1) at this course (22.5f, good to soft) 2 days ago, doing too much too soon. Not taken lightly.
12
6th (12) (22/1 +21%) Say It Ain't So
22
22/1(+21%)
(12) Say It Ain't So 22/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in April. Not in same form after 3 months off when fourth of 5 in novice chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft, 16/1) 14 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut.

8th (15) (40/1 +20%) Ciankyle
40
40/1(+20%)
(15) Ciankyle 40/1, 25/1, respectable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) 23 days ago, weakening early in straight. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has work to do.
8
9th (8) (3.33/1 +45%) Robinnia
3.33
3.33/1(+45%)
(8) Robinnia 3.33/1, Again let down by her jumping when 33¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Ballyshannon Rose in Gr 2 chase (13/2) at Thurles (20.3f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Makes handicap chase debut. Enters calculations.
5
10th (5) (16/1 -14%) Espion Du Chenet
16
16/1(-14%)
(5) Espion Du Chenet 16/1, Three wins from 12 runs last season. Latest win in chase at Punchestown in May. Respectable third of 7 in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good, 8/1) 16 days ago. Looks summed up by his handicap mark, however.
(3) Good Bye 2/1, Placed twice in the spring for Alan Jones and made a sound start to life with her new stable when second here (20.6f). Came even closer at Uttoxeter last week and big player again in a change of headgear.
9
2nd (9) (10/1 +38%) Brickadank
10
10/1(+38%)
(9) Brickadank 10/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. Seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, good to soft, 50/1) 131 days ago. Others preferred.
6
3rd (6) (6/1 +45%) Seaborough
6
6/1(+45%)
(6) Seaborough 6/1, Winless since 2019, though ran another good race in this sphere when well-backed fourth in handicap at Doncaster (16.6f) in February. Not quite at that level since but is becoming well handicapped.
10
4th (10) (100/1 -100%) Willa
100
100/1(-100%)
(10) Willa 100/1, Regressive maiden on Flat and no form in various events over hurdles.

7
7/1(-40%)
(8) My Poem 7/1, Uttoxeter winner in June before good fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 27 days ago. Possibilities.
7
6th (7) (18/1 -50%) Stigwood
18
18/1(-50%)
(7) Stigwood 18/1, Modest maiden on the Flat for Eve Johnson Houghton. Best effort in this sphere so far when third of 12 in a Southwell handicap (15.8f, good to firm) both only sixth at Worcester since.
5
7th (5) (3.5/1 -40%) Ince
3.5
3.5/1(-40%)
(5) Ince 3.5/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good, 10/3) 27 days ago, though having run of race. More needed to follow up.
1
8th (1) (9/1 +10%) Rukwa
9
9/1(+10%)
(1) Rukwa 9/1, Dual winner over hurdles in April 2021. Fit from Flat but ran poorly back in this sphere at Cartmel. Tongue strap on 1st time.

|U| (2) (10/1 +17%) Finalshot
10
10/1(+17%)
(2) Finalshot 10/1, Not disgraced in Ludlow handicap chase on first run for this yard in January but not in the same form over hurdles both starts since.
(6) Tostado 12/1, Kessaar colt who made a promising start when fifth in a novice at Newmarket but has an uphill task in this company.
1
2nd (1) (1.38/1 +45%) Cold Case
1.38
1.38/1(+45%)
(1) Cold Case 1.38/1, Built on a highly promising debut when cosily landing a 10-runner maiden at York in June. More ability to unlock, so makes plenty of appeal.
2
3rd (2) (1.62/1 +35%) Rogue Spirit
1.62
1.62/1(+35%)
(2) Rogue Spirit 1.62/1, Already a dual winner and acquitted himself well when third (having been well fancied) in a sales race at Newbury last time. Leading claims in slightly calmer waters.
4
4th (4) (10/1 -122%) Priors Dell
10
10/1(-122%)
(4) Priors Dell 10/1, Progressive colt who opened his account at Windsor in May and followed up under a penalty at Newbury earlier this month. Straightforward type who can do better again.
5
5th (5) (6.5/1 -30%) Rock Of England
6.5
6.5/1(-30%)
(5) Rock Of England 6.5/1, Unfortunately colt who looks a good buy at £27,000 having made a successful start at Thirsk a month ago. Should have learned from that, and well worth his place in a race like this.
LTO Selection:
16:00 Chester Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(7) Current Option 5.5/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Good fourth of 18 in handicap at this course (8.6f, good to soft, 28/1) 5 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly.

6.5
6.5/1(-8%)
(12) On A Session 6.5/1, Won 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm, 3/1) 32 days ago, slowly away. Should go well again.

12/1(+14%)
(16) Sirjack Thomas 12/1, Course winner. Bit below form eighth of 18 in handicap (16/1) at this course (8.6f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Others more persuasive.

20
20/1(-43%)
(5) Spanish Tenor 20/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 40/1, fifteenth of 18 in handicap at this course (8.6f, good to soft) 5 days ago, going off too hard. Latest effort best excused so could get back on track.
11
6th (11) (14/1 -27%) Majestic Colt
14
14/1(-27%)
(11) Majestic Colt 14/1, Very good fourth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to soft, 40/1) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Stepping back in the right direction, so worth considering.
4
7th (4) (5/1 +9%) Casanova
5
5/1(+9%)
(4) Casanova 5/1, Course winner. 12/1, good second of 18 in handicap at this course (8.6f, good to soft) 5 days ago, keeping on well. Likeable type who makes plenty of appeal.

20/1(+20%)
(6) Baradar 20/1, 80/1, twenty eighth of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 45 days ago. Yard having good spell. Others make more appeal.

(9) Saltonstall 6/1, Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2020. 12/1, bit below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at this course (8.6f, good to soft) 5 days ago, not much room.

16:10 Galway Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(5) Cawthorne 1.25/1, Arrives after landing back-to-back handicap chases at Worcester and Uttoxeter and should continue to give a good account from lower hurdles mark.
3
2nd (3) (2.25/1 +0%) Fox's Socks
2.25
2.25/1(+0%)
(3) Fox's Socks 2.25/1, Left previous form well behind when making a mockery of his opening mark at Uttoxeter on final start for Tom Lacey in July. Changed hands for £20,000 after and best effort since when good second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Player.

5.5
5.5/1(+8%)
(7) Casamari Abbey 5.5/1, Back over fences and ran a belter from out of the weights when second at Cartmel. Failed to back that up off proper mark since, however.

6.5
6.5/1(+77%)
(1) Herecomeshogan 6.5/1, Excellent third of 12 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f) in April but in nothing like the same form switched to handicaps next 2 starts
8
|PU| (8) (100/1 -52%) Tilsworth Sammy
100
100/1(-52%)
(8) Tilsworth Sammy 100/1, Poor maiden on the Flat and has shown little to date over hurdles.
(11) The Nu Form Way 18/1, Improved to win a pair of handicaps on soft ground in October. Just one creditable effort this year but he was stretched by the trip at Haydock on latest. Has left Hugo Palmer.
9
2nd (9) (4/1 +33%) Speak
4
4/1(+33%)
(9) Speak 4/1, Lightly raced filly who found improvement when just denied having made the running at Goodwood on handicap debut in May. That form is solid, so she can make her presence felt if able to get across from stall 12.
12
3rd (12) (3.2/1 +54%) Wynter Wildes
3.2
3.2/1(+54%)
(12) Wynter Wildes 3.2/1, Positive tactics worked the oracle when doubling career tally at Hamilton in May and has remained in good form since, runner-up in a C&D handicap at this course last time. Should give another good account.
2
4th (2) (5.5/1 -38%) Emiyn
5.5
5.5/1(-38%)
(2) Emiyn 5.5/1, Consistent front runner who was runner-up (albeit beaten 6 lengths) at this course a month ago. Should put up another bold showing from a low draw.
8
5th (8) (12/1 +52%) Lunar Jet
12
12/1(+52%)
(8) Lunar Jet 12/1, Losing run dates back to 2020 but he's sliding in the weights and his latest effort at Doncaster was at least a bit more encouraging. Back down in trip.
7
6th (7) (12/1 +14%) Restorer
12
12/1(+14%)
(7) Restorer 12/1, Shaped a bit better than the result here last time and the handicapper is giving him a chance, so he's no forlorn hope if he can secure a reasonable position from stall 11.
5
7th (5) (11/1 -10%) Midrarr
11
11/1(-10%)
(5) Midrarr 11/1, Landed back-to-back Wolverhampton handicaps for William Haggas last term. Best effort for present yard when second of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 36 days ago, keeping on. Solid claims.
6
8th (6) (33/1 -136%) Mythical
33
33/1(-136%)
(6) Mythical 33/1, On a fair mark and hinted at a resurgence despite seeming unsuited by the track at Ripon 15 days ago. Claims if he can build on that back up in trip.
10
9th (10) (28/1 -12%) Bamboo Bay
28
28/1(-12%)
(10) Bamboo Bay 28/1, Scored over C&D in June but followed it with a tame display at Pontefract 42 days ago. Others make more appeal.
4
10th (4) (10/1 +17%) Heart Of Soul
10
10/1(+17%)
(4) Heart Of Soul 10/1, Landed a quick-fire double in May and, although disappointing at this course subsequently. He's had a 2-month break and Harry Davies is back on board, so can't be dismissed.
3
11th (3) (5.5/1 -10%) Enthused
5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(3) Enthused 5.5/1, 9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, right back on the up when making all in 7-runner handicap at Windsor 35 days ago, and there's every chance he'll go well again under another positive ride.
LTO Selection:
16:30 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(9) She's Local 4.5/1, Promising type. 33/1, still rough around the edges but improved for step up to this trip when fourth of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good) 10 days ago. Further progress likely.

(10) Evening's Empire 2.75/1, Twice-raced filly. 11/1, improved from debut when fourth of 14 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to firm) 22 days ago, the penny dropping as the race progressed to be nearest at finish. Up in trip. Open to improvement.
8
2nd (8) (5.5/1 +83%) Roman Moon
5.5
5.5/1(+83%)
(8) Roman Moon 5.5/1, Promising fourth at Limerick on debut but hasn't gone on as anticipated in a pair of starts since, only seventh of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft, 16/1) 17 days ago.

2.5
2.5/1(+84%)
(5) Rattle And Hum 2.5/1, Foaled April 1. €10,000 foal, £30,000 yearling, New Bay colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 6f-7.6f winner Comanchero and 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Banner Road. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Will probably have to be smart to make winning debut here.
3
4th (3) (16/1 +80%) Allesnick
16
16/1(+80%)
(3) Allesnick 16/1, Once-raced gelding. 28/1, ran to just a poor level when eighth of 11 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) on debut 30 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

3
3/1(+63%)
(1) McCauley's Tavern 3/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Improved when third in maiden at the Curragh on penultimate outing but failed to build on that when last of 6 in maiden at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Gelded since.
11
6th (11) (11/1 +83%) Shangrilama
11
11/1(+83%)
(11) Shangrilama 11/1, Foaled April 15. €11,000 yearling, Profitable filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 7f/1m winner Silver Lace and 2-y-o 7f winner Cocohulababy. Makes debut in a decent race and is likely best watched.
4
7th (4) (25/1 +50%) Master Garvey
25
25/1(+50%)
(4) Master Garvey 25/1, Twice-raced gelding. 80/1, showed a bit more when eighth of 14 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Back up in trip but will probably be of more interest in nurseries.

1.25
1.25/1(+17%)
(6) Tomona 1.25/1, From a successful NH family and has shaped well on both starts to date, left with too much to do when fourth at Southwell last time. Makes plenty of appeal.

2.5
2.5/1(+17%)
(5) Sea Poem 2.5/1, £27,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory mare. Dam (c134/h113) 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner. Wears tongue strap. Interesting newcomer for shrewd yard.

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
