---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (5/1 +38%) Horse Whisperer |
5/1(+38%) | (4) Horse Whisperer 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, last of 6 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 33/1) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Has shown some speed in her three runs and this is more realistic; needs a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 +0%) Raft Up |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Raft Up 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 8 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 4 days ago, trapped wide and ultimately well held. Turns out quickly back on turf Down the field in all five runs and was last of eight on his nursery debut last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (3.33/1 -11%) Zachary |
3.33/1(-11%) | (6) Zachary 3.33/1, Displayed plenty of early speed before running out of steam when third in 4-runner Musselburgh novice (5f) on debut in May. Not built on that in 2 starts since but gelded ahead of switch to handicaps and no surprise to see a better showing. Unexposed nursery newcomer and he's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4.5/1 +40%) Search |
4.5/1(+40%) | (3) Search 4.5/1, Proved game when off the mark in a 6f maiden on third start here in June. Gelded after but well held both starts in nurseries, beaten over 1f out and eased off when last of 11 at Leicester (7f) 8 days ago. Won here in June but he's been disappointing in two nurseries since; something to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (7/1 +30%) Flemish |
7/1(+30%) | (7) Flemish 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, sixth of 9 in nursery at Bath (5f, good, 9/1) 12 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Wasn't beaten far in a Bath nursery last time and she could be in the mix; tongue-tie on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (4.5/1 -50%) Justahunch |
4.5/1(-50%) | (2) Justahunch 4.5/1, Better for debut when fourth in 10-runner Windsor maiden (5.1f) in June. Unable to match that level at Lingfield subsequently but blinkers go on for nursery bow and better showing certainly not ruled out. Gelded and switches to a nursery but he needs improvement; blinkers added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (9/1 -13%) Vidi Vici |
9/1(-13%) | (5) Vidi Vici 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in nursery (4/1) at Windsor (6f, good) 7 days ago. No forlorn hope if blinkers have positive effect now. Best effort was in a seller and he's struggled in both nurseries; blinkers are now added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (66/1 -371%) Equiart |
66/1(-371%) | (8) Equiart 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, last of 9 in nursery at Bath (5f, good) 12 days ago, racing in rear and never involved. Others preferred. Hasn't shown much across his five starts and can only be watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Not many of these have shown anything by way of recent form, but it may pay to side with JUSTAHUNCH, who at least displayed promise on his first two starts before disappointing at Lingfield last month. He can strike on his nursery debut off a mark of 62, with Zachary and the capable Vidi Vici looking best placed to chase him home. Raft Up is also entitled to be thereabouts.
Having shown bright speed for a long way on debut at Musselburgh, ZACHARY failed to build on that in 2 subsequent outings but he did have some excuses and, now handicapping on the back of being gelded, it would come as no surprise to see him make more of an impact from a lowly mark. Justahunch and Vidi Vici, both fitted with first-time blinkers, are others to consider in a trappy opener.
This looks very tricky and the tentative vote goes to JUSTAHUNCH, who looks a possible improver back at 5f on his nursery debut.

1st (1) (5.5/1 -10%) Let Her Loose |
5.5/1(-10%) | (1) Let Her Loose 5.5/1, Third amatuer riders' handicap win of the season (all under Brodie Hampson) when shading a tight finish (reopposing Sameem back in third) at Ayr (13f) last Thursday. Not obviously well treated under a 5 lb penalty but still respected as an in-form mare. Has won under Brodie Hampson on three of her last four runs; 5lb penalty may not stop her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (8/1 +71%) Fen Tiger |
8/1(+71%) | (9) Fen Tiger 8/1, Three wins in a productive 2022. Hasn't scaled the same heights this term but shaped a bit better last time and has dropped back to his last winning mark. Won at Leicester last October but has struggled to get competitive on his 5 runs this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/1 +10%) Jamil |
9/1(+10%) | (7) Jamil 9/1, Four-time C&D winner, including twice this season. Another fine effort over C&D when going down by only a short head last time. Respected from an unchanged mark. Likes it here and has run well over C&D on his last three starts; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/1 +0%) The Dancing Poet |
5/1(+0%) | (5) The Dancing Poet 5/1, This year's efforts no more than respectable but he won this race under Simon Walker in 2021 and 2002 and is handicapped to make a bold bid for the hat-trick if staging a revival. Below best on last 3 starts but has won last 2 runnings of this race; has to be respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (4.5/1 +63%) Sameem |
4.5/1(+63%) | (6) Sameem 4.5/1, Latest win at Ripon in June. Respectable 1¾ lengths third of 7 to Let Her Loose in handicap at Ayr (13f, good to firm, 10/3) 4 days ago. Back on song when third to Let Her Loose at Ayr last Thursday and could be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 -100%) A La Francaise |
4/1(-100%) | (3) A La Francaise 4/1, Back to best when runner-up twice this summer and went close again when third at Musselburgh (12.5f) 10 days ago. Good shout from the same mark. Went close at Musselburgh recently and one to consider under the promising Jack Nicholls. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (9/1 -13%) Just Hiss |
9/1(-13%) | (2) Just Hiss 9/1, Won 8-runner handicap at Pontefract (1¼m, good, 3/1) 12 days ago, driven out. Back up in trip. Ought to remain competitive after a 4 lb rise. Last year's runner-up who has won two of his last four starts; strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (18/1 +10%) The Navigator |
18/1(+10%) | (4) The Navigator 18/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (11f, good, 13/2) 32 days ago, never nearer. Fair fourth at Hamilton last month but needs something extra if he's to win this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (14/1 +65%) Whiskey And Water |
14/1(+65%) | (10) Whiskey And Water 14/1, Seventh of 12 in C&D handicap (good) 33 days ago, left poorly placed. Yard's good record in this race makes him a dangerous one to discount but others arrive with more pressing claims. Took step back in right direction over C&D last month but was still soundly beaten. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (50/1 -150%) Sefton Warrior |
50/1(-150%) | (8) Sefton Warrior 50/1, Absent since pulling up in a Thurles handicap hurdle in February 2022. Fair on the Flat in Britain earlier in his career. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations for this Irish raider. Returns from long absence but has travelled from Ireland; one to watch in the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (14/1 +30%) Odd Venture |
14/1(+30%) | (11) Odd Venture 14/1, 5/1, won 11-runner classified event at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 27 days ago, cosily. Won Musselburgh classified last month; this is tougher but he had something in hand. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
There has been little stopping LET HER LOOSE in recent months, with the six-year-old making it three wins from her last four starts at Ayr on Thursday, and Archie Watson's mare could prove tough to stop once again, despite a 5lb penalty. Jamil is a four-time C&D winner who went very close to enhancing that record here earlier this month and another bold bid is expected. Just Hiss and A La Francaise are others capable of being in the mix.
A LA FRANCAISE has been knocking on the door lately and might prove the answer to this competitive opener. Last week's Ayr scorer Let Her Loose and C&D specialist Jamil are likely to be on the premises, while The Dancing Poet's very good record in this race also earns him a place on the shortlist.
Top of the list is JAMIL, who likes it here and has run well over C&D on his last three starts. A La Francaise is second choice.

1st (1) (1.38/1 +8%) Cobalt Blue |
1.38/1(+8%) | (1) Cobalt Blue 1.38/1, Fairly useful gelding. 4/1, good second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good) 12 days ago, finishing well. Solid claims to shed his maiden tag. 0-9 but he went close over C&D last time and just about sets the standard on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3.33/1 -33%) Paternoster Square |
3.33/1(-33%) | (3) Paternoster Square 3.33/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Creditable third of 14 in maiden at Windsor (10f, good, 9/4) 28 days ago. Back down in trip but can't be ruled out. Placed in last three runs and he doesn't have much to find here; dangerous back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (1.25/1 +23%) Fly Zone |
1.25/1(+23%) | (2) Fly Zone 1.25/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 2/1, creditable third of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f) 88 days ago. In the mix again. Showed plenty of promise with his two placed efforts in May and he still has potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (150/1 -127%) Zina Colada |
150/1(-127%) | (5) Zina Colada 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, good to soft, 80/1) 21 days ago. Has work to do. Some ability at Yarmouth on debut but she struggled at Lingfield last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (66/1 -32%) Rapallo |
66/1(-32%) | (4) Rapallo 66/1, 80/1, last of 13 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) on debut 27 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. 80-1 at Chelmsford (1m) on her debut last month and finished a tailed-off last of 13. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This can go the way of FLY ZONE, who sets the standard on form, having finished behind a subsequent Group 3 winner when second on his penultimate start at York. A respectable third at Chelmsford since, the son of Expert Eye is preferred to Paternoster Square, who has not been outside the first three in his last three starts, and as eight-race maiden Cobalt Blue.
Little between the principals on form but COBALT BLUE looks the way to go on the back of his good C&D handicap second now back in maiden company. Sir Michael Stoute's Fly Zone is less exposed and rates the chief threat to Roger Varian's fairly useful gelding, with Paternoster Square in the picture too.
The top three on the card are all closely matched on the figures but the vote goes to COBALT BLUE, who went close over C&D last time.

1st (9) (4/1 +27%) Crack The Kode |
4/1(+27%) | (9) Crack The Kode 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 6 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good, 8/1) 31 days ago, runner-up that day tasted success at Beverley last week and he's worthy of consideration operating from a 1 lb higher mark. Close third to a previous winner on nursery debut; has a chance but stall 10 a negative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (2.75/1 +66%) Moreginplease |
2.75/1(+66%) | (6) Moreginplease 2.75/1, Time Test filly. Surpassed previous form when third on nursery debut at Lingfield (6f) in July. Ran to a similar level without threatening when seventh back in novice company latest but this rates much more suitable. Considered. Third at Lingfield (turf) on only h'cap start; stiff task latest; chance down in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (8/1 +0%) Chat Up Line |
8/1(+0%) | (4) Chat Up Line 8/1, Winner at Nottingham in July. Fourth of 6 in nursery at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 6/1) 13 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not out of things. 6f Nottingham h'cap winner last month; two lesser efforts since; a possible down in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (18/1 -50%) Lady Of The Garr |
18/1(-50%) | (10) Lady Of The Garr 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago, weakening approaching final 1f. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping but others make more appeal for win purposes here. Beaten 2l when sixth in 6f AW novice last time; chance on that form; h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (8/1 +6%) Socialise |
8/1(+6%) | (5) Socialise 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, ninth of 10 in nursery (12/1) at Ascot (6f, good) 38 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Previous York fourth wasn't devoid of promise and drop in class rates an obvious plus on second start in nurseries. Decent 4th in York maiden; well beaten on nursery debut (Ascot); chance now down in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (12/1 -20%) Hooray For Hazel |
12/1(-20%) | (8) Hooray For Hazel 12/1, Expert Eye filly who showed ability amidst obvious signs of greenness when third on debut at Beverley (5f) in May. Unable to build on that in 2 starts kept to 5f subsequently but longer trip rates a plus now handicapping and she comes here with yard in good order. Fair third on Beverley debut (5f); disappointing since; up in trip for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (80/1 -21%) Ifonlytheycudtalk |
80/1(-21%) | (12) Ifonlytheycudtalk 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 13 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Cheekpieces replace blinkers now but he's hard to make a case for. Poor form; cheekpieces on instead of blinkers but would be a surprise winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (28/1 -40%) Dear Mary |
28/1(-40%) | (7) Dear Mary 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in minor event (28/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut and interesting what the market makes of her. Fair 4th in Carlisle novice in June; lesser efforts since; bit to prove on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (25/1 -25%) Patasola |
25/1(-25%) | (11) Patasola 25/1, 80/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 12 in nursery at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Exposed sort who hasn't shown enough in nurseries to suggest she will take this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (7.5/1 -36%) Battleofbaltimore |
7.5/1(-36%) | (3) Battleofbaltimore 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in minor event (13/2) at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Makes handicap debut but assessor seemingly taken no chances with opening mark. Fair runs in 6f novice events on first two starts; quite interesting on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (4/1 -33%) Lightning Point |
4/1(-33%) | (2) Lightning Point 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in nursery at Chelmsford (5f, 11/4) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly back on turf dropped into class 6 company. Close 4th in AW nursery over 5f latest; seems to stay 6f; stable in fine form; interesting. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
CRACK THE KODE took a decent step forward on his nursery debut at Pontefract when potentially finding the stiff finish a bit too much in the closing stages. This track shouldn't pose as much of an issue in that regard and Kevin Ryan's gelding is expected to have more to offer. Battleofbaltimore disappointed when dropped to 5f at Lingfield latest but is better judged on his first two performances over this trip and is likely to enter calculations, while others to note include Hooray For Hazel and Chat Up Line.
CRACK THE KODE produced easily his most convincing effort yet when third on nursery debut at Pontefract 31 days ago, pulling clear with a pair who are steadily going the right way, and he earns the vote to build on that now. Hooray for Hazel rates a likely improver on nursery bow and is feared, along with Moreginplease and Lightning Profit.
This low-grade nursery can go to MOREGINPLEASE who shaped well on her only previous handicap start and has the benefit of a low draw.

1st (9) (5.5/1 +35%) Send In The Clouds |
5.5/1(+35%) | (9) Send In The Clouds 5.5/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, good second of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Needs considering. Runner-up in his last two starts and looks interesting on his step up to this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/1 +0%) It's How We Roll |
9/1(+0%) | (5) It's How We Roll 9/1, Latest win at Windsor in June. 28/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good) 12 days ago. Can go well again eased 1 lb. Creditable third at Bath last time and could make a big impact if he gets a good pace. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Global Style |
6.5/1(-18%) | (6) Global Style 6.5/1, Course winner in August before very good second of 9 in minor event at this C&D (good) 11 days ago. Has to be taken seriously back in handicap company. Win and close call in classified events here last twice and he should be in the mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/1 -29%) Angels Roc |
11/1(-29%) | (3) Angels Roc 11/1, Course winner. 16/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Has work to do judged on his last outing. On workable mark but has something to prove and both his wins have been at 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5.5/1 -38%) Angel On High |
5.5/1(-38%) | (1) Angel On High 5.5/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. 6/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. Went close at Leicester in June and ran well again at Thirsk last time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (6.5/1 +28%) Cloudy Rose |
6.5/1(+28%) | (2) Cloudy Rose 6.5/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in June. 7/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Bath (14f, good) 26 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Won three in a row in May/June but well held in her last two runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (16/1 +36%) Urban Forest |
16/1(+36%) | (8) Urban Forest 16/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 9/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Bath (14f, good) 26 days ago so others are more persuasive. Went close at Bath (1m5f) last month but was well held there last time and is now 0-25. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (8.5/1 -55%) Miss Sligo |
8.5/1(-55%) | (4) Miss Sligo 8.5/1, Latest win at Chepstow in July. Good second of 9 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm, 11/4) 8 days ago. Very much one to consider. Won at Chepstow (1m4f) last month and was a good second at Leicester last time; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (6/1 +25%) Pure Bubbles |
6/1(+25%) | (7) Pure Bubbles 6/1, 12/1, creditable third of 4 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good) 14 days ago. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs, though. Third off a much reduced mark at Windsor but this is a deeper race and he's now 0-19. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (10/1 -25%) Cape Cornwall Rose |
10/1(-25%) | (10) Cape Cornwall Rose 10/1, Still to register a victory but she posted a creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Bath (13f, good) 40 days ago, having run of race. Not discounted. 18-race maiden who has not been at his best in last three runs and others are preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The Jamie Osborne stable can do little wrong at present and the consistent MISS SLIGO looks to hold every chance of notching up an eighth career success. The step back up in trip is a major plus after finishing second over 1m2f at Leicester and he can see off the likes of top-weight Angel On High and Global Style, who is slightly unlucky not to be arriving on a course hat-trick. Pure Bubbles and Send In The Clouds are likely to be thereabouts as well.
GLOBAL STYLE arrives in fine form so this recent course winner edges the vote now back in handicap company. It's How We Roll (second choice) and Miss Sligo both bring very solid credentials to the table too however so should ensure Tony Carroll's gelding doesn't have things all his own way in a tightly-knit handicap.
Tony Carroll has two interesting contenders in Global Style and Send In The Clouds but slight preference is for MISS SLIGO.

1st (2) (0.91/1 +17%) Harappan |
0.91/1(+17%) | (2) Harappan 0.91/1, Sold out of John Butler's yard after a promising debut and made a winning start for current connections in 5-runner minor event (8/13) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 17 days ago. Can follow up with further improvement to come. Cost 150,000gns in July; 8-13 Wolves 1m4f winner latest; switch to turf a slight concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4/1 -45%) Hondo |
4/1(-45%) | (7) Hondo 4/1, Still seemed in need of experience when fourth of 7 on handicap debut at Doncaster (10.2f, soft) 25 days ago, nearest finish. Step up in trip should suit and he can make his presence felt. Fair form so far, notably when 4th in 1m2f Doncaster h'cap; chance now up to 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 +47%) Mass Consumption |
4/1(+47%) | (5) Mass Consumption 4/1, First run since leaving Jedd O'Keeffe when fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 11/4) 6 days ago. Needs to resume progress as he goes further up in distance. Second in 1m Ripon maiden in June; 5th off 64 on h'cap debut (1m2f, AW); now tried at 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/1 -125%) Owners Dream |
9/1(-125%) | (6) Owners Dream 9/1, Had been consistent prior to running below form last 2 starts, in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 11/4) 12 days ago. However, is worth another chance at this longer trip. Chance on his handicap second in July (1m2f) but disappointing since; cheekpieces on again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 +50%) A Poet's Secret |
6/1(+50%) | (4) A Poet's Secret 6/1, Very green but showed ability when fifth of 10 in maiden (6/1) at Kempton (12f) on debut in March. Off since but he should have more to offer. Didn't show much on his debut at Kempton in March (1m2f, 6-1) but improvement likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (200/1 -203%) J C International |
200/1(-203%) | (3) J C International 200/1, Little impact in a pair of bumpers and finished well held when sixth of 9 in minor event at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 200/1) on flat debut 16 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Poor form in bumpers; well beaten at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) on Flat debut; best watched. |

7th (1) (200/1 -203%) Fly Awhile Johnny |
200/1(-203%) | (1) Fly Awhile Johnny 200/1, Maiden pointer and well-beaten seventh of 13 in bumper at Aintree (17f, good, 25/1) on Rules debut 94 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Jack Teal. Best watched. Has shown a little promise in points and a bumper; best watched on Flat debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (200/1 -100%) Trinidad Calypso |
200/1(-100%) | (8) Trinidad Calypso 200/1, Has offered little in 2 starts so far, last of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Two low-level efforts over 1m2f and best watched for now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HARAPPAN made a promising debut when outrunning his odds to finish third at Newcastle before getting off the mark at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, having been sold for 150,000gns at the Newmarket sale in between those efforts. Iain Jardine's gelding is likely to be too strong for this opposition, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. Mass Consumption is capable of better following a below-par effort on his handicap debut at Newcastle, while improvement appears to be likely from A Poet's Secret.
Having been sold for 150,000 gns after a promising debut, HARAPPAN made a winning start for his current yard at Wolverhampton earlier this month and he can continue his progress to score again. Hondo has shaped as if this longer trip should suit and he looks to be the main danger, with Owners Dream completing the shortlist.
A tricky race can go to HONDO who seemed suited by the step up to 1m2f last time and should be even more effective at this trip.

1st (8) (3.33/1 +5%) Cryptos Dream |
3.33/1(+5%) | (8) Cryptos Dream 3.33/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden who took a big step forward on her yard debut when fourth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 8 days ago, needing stiffer test. Back up in trip now so she merits serious consideration. Made a promising start for this yard at Windsor and she looks interesting back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2.5/1 +62%) Junoesque |
2.5/1(+62%) | (4) Junoesque 2.5/1, 4-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, fourth of 9 in minor event at this course (11.9f, good) 11 days ago, doing too much too soon. Sort to bounce back. Eight-time course winner who went close over C&D on her penultimate run; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (28/1 -211%) Dark Gold |
28/1(-211%) | (3) Dark Gold 28/1, Last of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 6 days ago, very slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time now. 0-7 and has been tailed off in last two handicaps; blinkers need to make a big difference. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/1 +17%) Young Winston |
5/1(+17%) | (5) Young Winston 5/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. Third of 9 in minor event (9/2) at this course (11.9f, good) 11 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Hood back on now and he needs considering. Record of 1-29 but he could be dangerous back in trip with regular hood reapplied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (40/1 -233%) Bbob Alula |
40/1(-233%) | (1) Bbob Alula 40/1, Course winner. 22/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 33 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Enters calculations off a handy-looking mark with blinkers refitted. Course winner but he's been out of sorts in his two runs this season; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (66/1 -313%) Many Words |
66/1(-313%) | (7) Many Words 66/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Bath (11.6f, good) 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Longstanding maiden who was tailed off at Bath on his recent return; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (4.5/1 -13%) Rita Rana |
4.5/1(-13%) | (6) Rita Rana 4.5/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. 4/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, heavy) 16 days ago. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Back to form with hood added in last two runs and another bold bid should be on the cards. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (7.5/1 -7%) Lady Bracken |
7.5/1(-7%) | (2) Lady Bracken 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fair sixth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (12f, 125/1) 12 days ago. Makes handicap debut with work to do at these weights. Unexposed filly and she needs watching in market back in trip on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (10/1 -25%) The Game Is Up |
10/1(-25%) | (10) The Game Is Up 10/1, 16/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 7 days ago. Up in trip. One for the shortlist. 0-10 but was a fair fourth at Windsor last week and is not ruled out at this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (125/1 -279%) Bridle Beauty |
125/1(-279%) | (9) Bridle Beauty 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving David Evans when last of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (13f, good, 18/1) 6 days ago. More needed on her handicap debut. Has struggled in all four runs and needs a transformation back at this trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
RITA RANA has settled better since having a hood fitted at Bath last month and recent placed efforts suggest that a race of this nature is within her compass. The Game Is Up posted a more encouraging effort when fourth at Windsor last Monday and may give the selection most to think about from the foot of the weights. Lady Bracken's opening mark doesn't appear the kindest on what she's achieved so far, but the three-year-old is open to more improvement than most and completes the shortlist.
CRYPTOS DREAM made a promising start for Jack Jones when a running-on fourth at Windsor and can gain her breakthrough success here with this longer trip looking a big plus. Bbob Alula is well weighted and has winning course form to his name so could emerge as the chief threat ahead of in-form maiden Young Winston.
Preference is for RITA RANA, who has turned things around in a hood recently and was only just caught at Lingfield last time.

1st (8) (5.5/1 +45%) Albegone |
5.5/1(+45%) | (8) Albegone 5.5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, good second of 7 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago, rallying. Well treated; back to form when close second last time but this looks tougher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3.5/1 -56%) Borough |
3.5/1(-56%) | (3) Borough 3.5/1, Thriving for this yard now, winning a Hamilton apprentice race last week. Escapes a penalty and William Pyle couldn't claim in the Hamilton race but takes off 5 lb now. Obvious claims. In fine form on soft/good to soft; no penalty for latest win; chance unless going is fast. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5.5/1 -83%) Soul Seeker |
5.5/1(-83%) | (1) Soul Seeker 5.5/1, Back in good form lately, winning 5f handicaps at York and Beverley (also close second at Newmarket in between). Should make his presence felt again. In fine form with two wins and a close second from last three starts; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (6/1 +20%) High Opinion |
6/1(+20%) | (7) High Opinion 6/1, Unlucky not to finish closer when fifth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to soft, 4/1) 13 days ago, keeping on when snatched up in the final 50 yds. Merits consideration. Same mark as Nottingham win last term (soft); creditable efforts this term; more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 +29%) Good Luck Fox |
10/1(+29%) | (5) Good Luck Fox 10/1, C&D winner last year and also runner-up here in June. Below par since but favourably handicapped if staging a revival at a venue which suits. Rather disappointing since C&D 2nd in June (good to firm); drying out ground will suit.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (8.5/1 +29%) Astapor |
8.5/1(+29%) | (4) Astapor 8.5/1, C&D winner. Four win from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Pontefract in July and can have his latest Thirsk run ignored (blindfold removed late and slowly away). Poor run last time but in good form on softish ground before that; could bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (8.5/1 -6%) Fortunate Star |
8.5/1(-6%) | (2) Fortunate Star 8.5/1, Winner at Nottingham in May. Respectable third of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Up 10lb for easy win in May; fair efforts since; blinkers tried; yet to run on fast ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (4.5/1 +31%) Harry With Style |
4.5/1(+31%) | (6) Harry With Style 4.5/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 6/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 6 days ago, nearest finish. Dead-heated at Yarmouth in June (5f, good to firm); creditable runs since; no easy task. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This could turn into a burn up with plenty in here wanting to be on or near the lead, which gives the in-form BOROUGH an advantage with his draw on the rail. Iain Jardine's charge should enjoy conditions and he can make it three wins in his last four starts, with Thursday's determined Beverley scorer Soul Seeker looking his main danger under a 5lb penalty. Fortunate Star is another who goes well on soft ground and must enter calculations, along with Albegone.
BOROUGH escapes a penalty for last week's Hamilton success and is taken to make it 3 wins in his last 4 starts. Soul Seeker is in similarly good form to the selection and is second choice ahead of Bryan Smart's High Opinion.
A competitive race can go to the in-form SOUL SEEKER who is one of the few runners who will be suited by the ground drying out.

1st (2) (5/1 +38%) Uncle Dick |
5/1(+38%) | (2) Uncle Dick 5/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Bath (8f, good) 12 days ago. Almost certainly needed what was his first run in 12 months. Tapeta winner but he's 0-18 on turf and was well held on his comeback 12 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 +0%) Galileo Glass |
4/1(+0%) | (4) Galileo Glass 4/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft, 17/2) 24 days ago, suited by way race developed. Visor back on. On long losing run but he's been placed numerous times this year and has each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (6/1 +14%) Ceilidh |
6/1(+14%) | (8) Ceilidh 6/1, Ninth of 14 in minor event (3/1) at Bath (8f, good) 26 days ago, denied a clear run. Placed over C&D last month and he didn't get any luck at Bath last time; dangerous. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (8/1 +11%) Arlo's Sunshine |
8/1(+11%) | (6) Arlo's Sunshine 8/1, Good second of 8 in minor event at this C&D (good, 11/2) 12 days ago, no match for winner. Hasn't been with this yard long. Good second in a classified event over C&D last time and has claims back in a handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5/1 +29%) Free Step |
5/1(+29%) | (1) Free Step 5/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in May. 12/1, last of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, soft) 30 days ago. Drying ground may help her cause and this is a drop in class. Had an excuse on soft last time and has claims if she can bounce back near best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 -32%) Joli's Legacy |
33/1(-32%) | (7) Joli's Legacy 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Bath (8f, firm) 73 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Record of 1-22 and was tailed off at Bath (1m, good) in June when last seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (4/1 -14%) Heer's Sadie |
4/1(-14%) | (5) Heer's Sadie 4/1, Won back-to-back course handicaps in June. Good second of 7 trying to complete the hat-trick here 12 days ago and she's a big player from the same mark. Has form figures of 112 here (7f) in her last three runs; respected back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (14/1 -56%) Stamford Blue |
14/1(-56%) | (9) Stamford Blue 14/1, 6/1, bit below form third of 10 in minor event at Chepstow (8.1f, good to soft) 24 days ago. In good heart and he's back against his elders. Fair efforts last twice but he's now 0-11 and needs to find more back in a handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (10/1 +0%) Rhubarb Bikini |
10/1(+0%) | (3) Rhubarb Bikini 10/1, Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 15/2, tenth of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good) 11 days ago. Visor back on. C&D win in April but had a major blip at Salisbury last time; another change of headgear. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
HEER'S SADIE was thwarted in her hat-trick bid when runner-up over 7f here off this mark earlier in the month, but the Julia Feilden-trained mare looks to have more races in her and could get back on the scoresheet now returned to 1m. Galileo Glass found himself with too much to do when a never-nearer second at Chepstow in late July and he is another to note racing off the same rating in this contest, while Arlo's Sunshine recently found only one too good in a classified stakes event over C&D and warrants respect.
HEER'S SADIE is building up an excellent Brighton record, doing little wrong when runner-up from this mark chasing a hat-trick 12 days ago. She can get back to winning ways here, possibly at the chief expense of Free Step and Uncle Dick.
The vote goes to the resurgent 5yo HEER'S SADIE, who finished well when runner-up in her bid for a 7f course hat-trick last time.

1st (5) (0.44/1 +73%) The Big Jetaway |
0.44/1(+73%) | (5) The Big Jetaway 0.44/1, Placed twice in novice hurdles at Uttoxeter this summer before recording back-to-back wins over fences on his last 2 starts, making all in handicap at this course (17.3f) 17 days ago. Thriving at present and can complete the hat-trick back over hurdles. Made it 3-4 over fences last time and his last run over hurdles in July was respectable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.25/1 -80%) The Galahad Kid |
2.25/1(-80%) | (1) The Galahad Kid 2.25/1, Unbeaten in 2 bumpers last summer and, after 10 months off, shaped well on hurdling debut when runner-up at Southwell in June. Comfortably landed the odds at Stratford (16.3f, good) next time and he's not taken lightly with improvement to come. Won two points and as many bumpers; workmanlike in winning at Stratford latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (125/1 -400%) Izzy's Grey |
125/1(-400%) | (6) Izzy's Grey 125/1, €10,000 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Fingal Bay. Betting ought to prove a useful guide on debut. 10,000euros 3yo; should have a future but best watched first time out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/1 -175%) No Anxiety |
11/1(-175%) | (4) No Anxiety 11/1, Doubled his tally over fences when landing a 3-runner Hereford handicap (25.2f) back from a break in October 2021. Struggled on his last 2 starts but he's an interesting contender back over hurdles, albeit with a lengthy absence to overcome. Better known as a chaser, albeit a good one; lacks a run and stays much further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (50/1 -150%) Flying Standard |
50/1(-150%) | (2) Flying Standard 50/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat (stays 17f) for Chris Wall and, after 10 months off, showed aptitude for hurdling on stable debut when sixth of 10 in maiden at Worcester (23f, good to soft) in July. Improvement required. Four Flat wins and appeared to find 2m7f a stretch on hurdling debut at Worcester. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
THE BIG JETAWAY has been in fine form over fences of late, having completed a double at this venue earlier in in the month. Donald McCain's gelding could take all the beating now reverting to the smaller obstacles, with 7lb received from chief threat The Galahad Kid potentially significant. The son of Quest For Peace arrives on the back of a first success over hurdles at Stratford in July and cannot be taken lightly on his handicap bow. The returning No Anxiety completes the shortlist.
THE BIG JETAWAY has shown improved form when winning over fences on his last 2 starts, scoring at this course 17 days ago, so he can land the hat-trick back over hurdles in his current mood. The Galahad Kid opened his hurdles account at the second attempt on his latest outing and isn't taken lightly, with No Anxiety the pick of the remainder.
The Galahad Kid faces no straightforward task with a penalty. THE BIG JETAWAY has been on good terms with himself over fences.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (8.5/1 +23%) Woodlands Charm |
8.5/1(+23%) | (3) Woodlands Charm 8.5/1, C&D winner. 28/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 26 days ago. Return to 6f should suit. Two-time C&D winner but she needs to bounce back from two below-par runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (5/1 +17%) Wade's Magic |
5/1(+17%) | (12) Wade's Magic 5/1, Third to Quercus over C&D before resuming winning ways back here 13 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb for that narrow success. Another prominent showing likely. Won over C&D a fortnight ago and he's back up just 2lb; on the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Giselles Izzy |
4.5/1(-13%) | (5) Giselles Izzy 4.5/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June. 3/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (6f, good) 44 days ago. One to consider. Progressive form the last twice and this 4yo filly is firmly in calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (25/1 +24%) Noteable |
25/1(+24%) | (10) Noteable 25/1, 33/1, last of 12 in handicap at Chester (5f, good) 52 days ago. Others are preferred. Well treated on last summer's form but down the field the last twice and is now 0-13. |

6th (6) (10/1 -43%) Lady Celia |

Should be thereabouts. Has done well since joining this yard and remains well treated on old form; not ruled out. |

7th (2) (14/1 -40%) Redrosezorro |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Redrosezorro 14/1, Four-time C&D winner, the latest in May. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 40/1) 25 days ago. Bounce back needed. Well beaten at Carlisle/Doncaster the last twice but 8 wins here and can't be ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (11/1 +21%) Hurstwood |
11/1(+21%) | (8) Hurstwood 11/1, Latest win at Ripon in June. Bit below form seventh of 16 in handicap at York (6f, good, 40/1) 24 days ago. Won at Ripon in June but has good record there; 0-2 here and slow ground would be a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (80/1 -100%) He's An Angel |
80/1(-100%) | (9) He's An Angel 80/1, Modest form in 5f maiden/novice events last year. Off for 13 months ahead of this handicap debut. Watching brief the percentage call unless the betting speaks in his favour. 3yo who is one to watch in the betting on handicap debut but has a hefty absence to defy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (12/1 +45%) Lezardrieux |
12/1(+45%) | (4) Lezardrieux 12/1, Three-time C&D winner, the latest in May. Not at his best since and the outside stall could make life awkward here. Won over C&D in May but his form has gone the wrong way since; needs to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (3/1 -20%) Quercus |
3/1(-20%) | (1) Quercus 3/1, Front runner who is a five-time C&D winner, including twice last month. Ideally drawn to attack in stall 1. Taken to complete the hat-trick. In the form of his life & now a 5-time C&D winner following victories here the last twice. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
It is difficult to look past course specialist QUERCUS, who has won his last three attempts over this C&D, including victories on his last two starts, and softer ground conditions should not pose too much of an issue as he looks to strike again off a career-high mark. That may be at the main expense of recent C&D scorer Wade's Magic and the in-form Giselles Izzy, who is unproven on this ground.
QUERCUS has fared well with the draw and can defy the handicapper again and complete a C&D hat-trick. Fellow last-time-out C&D scorer Wade's Magic is second choice ahead of Lady Celia and Giselles Izzy.
Topweight QUERCUS (nap) has won over C&D the last twice to take his overall tally here to five, and he can land the hat-trick.

3.33/1(+5%) | (9) Optiva Star 3.33/1, 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 12 days ago. Can make presence felt up 4 lb. Off the mark at the 13th attempt when landing a C&D handicap last time; respected up 4lb. |

Comes with risks attached now. Won at Chepstow in May and over C&D in June but he virtually refused to race last time. |

5th (7) (8.5/1 -42%) Storymaker |
8.5/1(-42%) | (7) Storymaker 8.5/1, 11/4, fourth of 6 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good) 5 days ago, never nearer. Not easy to make a case for. Seven-race maiden who has not progressed and was well held at Salisbury last week. |

6th (4) (6/1 +50%) Ravenglass |
6/1(+50%) | (4) Ravenglass 6/1, First run since leaving Richard Fahey when fourth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good, 12/1) 9 days ago, keeping on gradually. Two 1m wins last August but has mixed record this season and others are more persuasive. |

12/1(-50%) | (8) Spanish Mane 12/1, C&D winner. 11/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) 21 days ago, digging deep. That attitude will continue to hold her in good stead. Has won at Lingfield in two of her last three runs and is as good as ever; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (6.5/1 -30%) Batchelor Boy |
6.5/1(-30%) | (6) Batchelor Boy 6.5/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (5.3f, good) 12 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Looks competitive on form with Hollie Doyle a good booking. Triple course winner who is on a dangerous mark but he needs to find more back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (10/1 +9%) Darvel |
10/1(+9%) | (2) Darvel 10/1, Latest win here in July. 13/2, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 12 days ago, weakening out of things. Drops in trip. Won over 1m here last month but his spark has been missing in last two runs. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Spanish Mane regained the winning thread at Lingfield last time and the two-time course winner merits respect off only 2lb higher in this event. However, OPTIVA STAR makes slightly more appeal after gaining a breakthrough success over C&D in early August, with apprentice Alec Voikhansky now on board claiming 5lb. That effectively puts the three-year-old 1lb lower here and a double could be on the horizon. Media Guest has been performing well enough over this distance of late to suggest that he could have a say too.
George Margarson and Mikkel Mortensen combined to good effect recently and MEDIA GUEST looks the one to be with having confirmed he's back in excellent order from his reduced mark at Leicester last time. Optiva Star and Batchelor Bay are a couple of potential threats.
Preference is for the admirable 8yo SPANISH MANE (nap), who has won at Lingfield in two of her last three runs and is as good as ever.

1st (3) (3.33/1 +26%) El Borracho |
3.33/1(+26%) | (3) El Borracho 3.33/1, Likeable, versatile campaigner who completed a hurdles/chase hat-trick at Wetherby (15f) last autumn. Largely gave his running since, good second returned to the Flat at Pontefract (17.1f) 12 days ago. Should be thereabouts again with rider taking off handy 5 lb. 5-8 over fences and has been running well on the Flat and over hurdles in recent weeks. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 +33%) Geromino |
6/1(+33%) | (5) Geromino 6/1, Course winner. Made most of good opportunities to bag 4 small-field chase events (at up to 20.3f) last summer. Operating below best when last seen, tailed off early final circuit at Newton Abbot (16.3f0 in June but freshened up since. Won five tiny-field chases last year; yet to run a race of note this time round. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (2.5/1 -11%) Sir Tivo |
2.5/1(-11%) | (4) Sir Tivo 2.5/1, C&D winner who is an excellent advert for his stable, producing yet another career-best display when landing 5-runner Stratford handicap chase (17f) 4 weeks ago. Edged up the weights a little more but another good showing not ruled out. Has been running right up to his best form this summer; 3lb rise for last time is fair. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (1.62/1 -30%) Al Zaraqaan |
1.62/1(-30%) | (2) Al Zaraqaan 1.62/1, Smart at best on the Flat and completed a 4-timer over hurdles (3 wins in handicaps) for previous yard last season. Even better switched to fences for new connections, completing 4-timer in good style at Southwell (15.8f) 4 weeks ago. Well worthy of interest again. Useful Flat-racer who has taken an instant liking to fences; should have this run to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (18/1 -50%) Mercian Prince |
18/1(-50%) | (1) Mercian Prince 18/1, Veteran campaigner who enhanced his fine Kempton record on the back of 7 months off when landing a 2¼m handicap in May, under a typically fluent front-running display. Below best all 3 starts since though, well-beaten last of 5 behind Sir Tivo at Stratford latest. Good at Kempton; goes left-handed but needs to bounce back from some below-par efforts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
AL ZARAQAAN has proved a revelation since joining the Sam England yard and could maintain his unbeaten record over fences with a fifth consecutive success, despite a 4lb rise for his latest victory. Sir Tivo is only 3lb higher than his Stratford triumph in July and should give the selection plenty to think about. El Borracho has been mixing it on the level and over hurdles this season but shouldn't be underestimated on the return to chasing, given his fine record of five wins from eight appearances over fences.
AL ZARAQAAN has made a fine start over fences for Sam England, completing a 4-timer with plenty to spare at Southwell 4 weeks ago, and a 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold bid to maintain his 100% record over fences. Highly-admirable pair Sir Tivo and El Borracho are obvious threats.
As always, Mercian Prince will put plenty of pace to the race and that will suit the strong-travelling AL ZARAQAAN (nap).

1st (10) (5.5/1 -38%) Different Tone |
5.5/1(-38%) | (10) Different Tone 5.5/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 35 days ago, again failing to build on his encouraging reappearance third at Salisbury in May. Still, eased 3 lb and it's soon to write him off. Not entirely solid on form but this new trip may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/1 +44%) Waterloo Sunset |
5/1(+44%) | (4) Waterloo Sunset 5/1, Course winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Kempton (11f) 54 days ago. Likely to again find one or two too good. Consistent in the main this season; solid effort over C&D two starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (4.5/1 +0%) Robusto |
4.5/1(+0%) | (8) Robusto 4.5/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year, the latest here in July. 10/3, fourth of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Each-way shout off the same mark. Hasn't proved straightforward but won over C&D in July; interesting back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (3/1 +0%) Alshadhian |
3/1(+0%) | (7) Alshadhian 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 17/2, fifth of 9 in minor event at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track but that's entirely possible now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Fourth to smart rival in one of his races; open to improvement now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 +14%) Sword Beach |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Sword Beach 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Visor back on and remains on a handy mark but he's 0-6 on the AW. 0-6 on AW but returns to this sphere off a handy mark; not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (6/1 +40%) Royal Athena |
6/1(+40%) | (11) Royal Athena 6/1, C&D winner in June. 9/2, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good) 23 days ago. Merits consideration returned to the AW. C&D winner in June; has remained in form since; possibilities back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (100/1 -150%) Socially Shady |
100/1(-150%) | (5) Socially Shady 100/1, Unreliable sort. Course winner. 125/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Ideally needs a return to longer trips; opposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (5/1 +9%) Turner Girl |
5/1(+9%) | (1) Turner Girl 5/1, 11/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 18 days ago. This sharper track may not be ideal but a 4 lb rise looks fair and she has to be considered with Oisin Murphy doing the steering. Scored at Newcastle on the return to AW and that form looks solid; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (50/1 -79%) One For The Frog |
50/1(-79%) | (3) One For The Frog 50/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in April. 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good) 14 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred. Something to prove upped further in distance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (40/1 -150%) Murhib |
40/1(-150%) | (6) Murhib 40/1, 13/2, won 9-runner handicap at this course (15.8f, AW) when last seen in March, always holding on. Back down in trip and this 3 lb higher mark could be enough to anchor him. Successful in 2m contest here when last seen; return to 1m4f is a negative. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TURNER GIRL has benefited from the application of cheekpieces on her last couple of outings, going close at Catterick before going one better at Newcastle. The daughter of Mastercraftsman went up 4lb for that success and may have further improvement to come. Alshadhian had shown promise on his first couple of starts and is expected to bounce back from his latest effort at Doncaster, while Robusto and Waterloo Sunset can fight it out for the placings.
ROYAL ATHENA has remained in good heart since opening her account over this C&D in June and she could be the answer to a tricky-looking contest. Given the promise he showed on his reappearance at Leicester, Alshadhian is worth another chance now pitched into a handicap, despite failing to fire last time. He is second choice ahead of Different Tone, Robusto and recent Newcastle winner Turner Girl.
The shortlist is headed by the C&D winners ROBUSTO and Royal Athena, with Turner Girl third choice.

1st (4) (8/1 +11%) Mutanaaseq |
8/1(+11%) | (4) Mutanaaseq 8/1, Holding form well in recent months, bagging second C&D success of the campaign from stablemate Magical Effect in July. Shaped as if still in good form despite a poor start when fourth at Newcastle (6f) latest, keeping on. Should give another good account. Enjoying a consistent spell of form and won over C&D two starts ago; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (5/1 +50%) Asmund |
5/1(+50%) | (12) Asmund 5/1, Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 10/1) 5 days ago, not quicken only late on. Not out of things from this sort of mark. Back to form with good third at Beverley last Wednesday and he's a possible player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7.5/1 -7%) Langholm |
7.5/1(-7%) | (8) Langholm 7.5/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 11/2) 13 days ago. Merits consideration. Plenty of good form here and was short-headed most recently; can make another bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (8/1 +6%) Darbucks |
8/1(+6%) | (13) Darbucks 8/1, Eased in weights and encouraging signs of late, twice making the frame in handicaps at Ayr (7.2f) last month. Underfoot conditions no problem and no surprise to see him thereabouts. Has run well to be placed at Ayr the last twice and has a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (11/1 -38%) Min Till |
11/1(-38%) | (1) Min Till 11/1, Twice a winner at around 7f during second half of last year and best effort so far this term when fourth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 20 days ago. Lesser effort at Doncaster on Saturday but not handicapped out of this. Encouraging fourth at Beverley but well beaten at Doncaster on Saturday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (5/1 +38%) Mr Strutter |
5/1(+38%) | (11) Mr Strutter 5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in June. 9/4, creditable second of 10 in handicap back at that venue (1m) 23 days ago, conceding first run. Another in with a shout back on turf. Five-time course winner who has been in good form on Newcastle AW and is one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (18/1 -50%) Variety Island |
18/1(-50%) | (15) Variety Island 18/1, Just the one win from 23 starts but twice went close on AW at Newcastle in June. Shade underwhelming when eighth of 14 on latest start at that venue 18 days ago but he's operating on a handy mark on balance. Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (AW) this summer but below par latest; 0-14 on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (14/1 -17%) Obee Jo |
14/1(-17%) | (7) Obee Jo 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 6/1, bit below form 6½ lengths seventh of 12 to Mutanaaseq in handicap at this C&D (good) 26 days ago, compromising his chance with a very slow start. No forlorn hope. Four-time course winner but hasn't threatened over C&D the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (8.5/1 +23%) Magical Effect |
8.5/1(+23%) | (9) Magical Effect 8.5/1, Veteran C&D winner. Creditable 2¼ lengths second of 12 to Mutanaaseq in handicap at this C&D (good, 17/2) 26 days ago, Softer ground no problem and he gets a handy 5 lb pull at the weights with his stablemate here. C&D winner who was runner-up over C&D last time and could be in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (8/1 +27%) Coaxing |
8/1(+27%) | (5) Coaxing 8/1, C&D winner. Creditable 3 lengths third of 12 to Mutanaaseq in handicap at this C&D (good, 11/1) 26 days ago. Clearly in good heart at present but she still needs to prove herself as effective on ground softer than good. C&D winner who has been a fair third on both runs this summer and might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (28/1 -12%) Gracelands Girl |
28/1(-12%) | (3) Gracelands Girl 28/1, Fair filly who ran creditably on return/handicap debut at Newcastle (7f) in February. Not in same form when fifth of 7 in handicap here (6f) in April but this step back up in trip rates a likely plus back from another break. Could appreciate the step back up in trip but she's 0-10 and others are more compelling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (80/1 -300%) Parys Mountain |
80/1(-300%) | (2) Parys Mountain 80/1, Four-time C&D winner who ended last season with success at Redcar (1m, heavy) in November. However, well held both outings (3 months apart) so far this term. Four-time C&D winner but tailed off over C&D on both outings this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (18/1 -125%) Rain Cap |
18/1(-125%) | (10) Rain Cap 18/1, 4-time course winner. Latest win here in July. Good second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Hamilton (6f, good) 32 days ago, running on. Good pace to aim at will aid his cause returned to this track/trip. Won over C&D last month then went close at Hamilton; he's on the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (6) (28/1 -40%) Global Humor |
28/1(-40%) | (6) Global Humor 28/1, Tricky customer but he recorded back-to-back wins over 6f/7f at Ayr at the start of the summer. 4/1, seemed to find things happening too quickly when fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Won two in a row in May/June but not quite at the top of his game since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (14) (18/1 -50%) Camacho Star |
18/1(-50%) | (14) Camacho Star 18/1, Winner at Redcar (1m, heavy) in April and went in again over C&D (good to firm) on penultimate start last month. However, failed to see his race out when eleventh of 13 at Ayr (1m) on latest outing 21 days ago and bounce back called for here. 2 wins this year; flopped last time but could still be ahead of h'capper if bouncing back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A winner on this card last year over shorter, RAIN CAP looks like the one to be with here having scored over C&D on his penultimate start and run very well at Hamilton since. Course regular Mr Strutter is a key player against him, along with Langholm, whose losing streak dates back to May 2022 when triumphant over C&D but he only missed out by a short head over 6f here last time. Completing the shortlist are Coaxing, Darbucks and Magical Effect.
MAGICAL EFFECT is now firmly into the veteran stage but he did best of those up with the pace when runner-up behind stablemate Mutanaaseq over C&D 26 days ago and, with a 5 lb pull at the weights, he could be worth chancing to come out on top this time with forecast conditions holding no fears. Darbucks, Langholm and Mr Strutter head up the dangers. Aforementioned Mutanaaseq can't be ruled out either.
The in-form 8yo MUTANAASEQ can win over C&D for the third time this season. Langholm is feared most.

Camilla's Choice |
(3) (5/1 -43%)5/1(-43%) | (3) Camilla's Choice 5/1, Surpassed pick of her Irish form when making second start for this yard a winning one over C&D 17 days ago. Up 8 lb for that decisive win and she can remain competitive. 8lb higher than for comfortable C&D success but she has some scope about her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) (0.33/1 +59%) Slate Lane |
0.33/1(+59%) | (1) Slate Lane 0.33/1, Backed off the boards starting out for Emmet Mullins and overcame almost being carried out when an easy winner of a maiden hurdle at Cartmel in June (22.1f). Much better than bare form of that and opening mark looks lenient. Won comfortably on stable debut at Cartmel; likely improver now into handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (8.5/1 +47%) Horizon D'or |
8.5/1(+47%) | (8) Horizon D'or 8.5/1, Runner-up second of 2 starts in Irish points but little to shout about over hurdles for Neil Mulholland. Runner-up in an Irish point but was disappointing in six starts for Neil Mulholland. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5.5/1 +0%) Champ Royal |
5.5/1(+0%) | (2) Champ Royal 5.5/1, Several creditable efforts in Ireland for Colm Murphy. Took a little while to find his feet for current yard but he confirmed the promise of his Worcester run when opening his account there 25 days ago, staying on well. 2m7f Worcester winner; up 5lb; not sure to be as good again given his patchy profile. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (25/1 +38%) Dynali |
25/1(+38%) | (6) Dynali 25/1, Modest maiden who has shaped with limited encouragement all 6 outings for current yard. Has come a long way down the weights but has 10l to find with Camilla's Choice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (10/1 +50%) Merveillo |
10/1(+50%) | (4) Merveillo 10/1, Finally made an impact over hurdles when second at Uttoxeter (in first-time cheekpieces) over this trip in June, though it's still very modest stuff compared to his Flat ability at one time. Poor effort at Market Rasen since. Capable of running well but looking hard to predict; best French form was in blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (40/1 -100%) Moirai |
40/1(-100%) | (7) Moirai 40/1, Hard to get excited by what she's achieved so far but handicaps are more suitable and she's upped markedly in distance. Not shown much so far but treated accordingly for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (150/1 +0%) Ballynaveen Boy |
150/1(+0%) | (9) Ballynaveen Boy 150/1, Little form on Flat/over hurdles. Huge odds when nowhere in three handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (100/1 -100%) Hedgehopper |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Hedgehopper 100/1, Maiden pointer who hasn't offered much under Rules, most recently on handicap debut over fences. Well beaten in three hurdles before pulling up on handicap/chase debut; 15lb wrong. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SLATE LANE landed the odds on stable debut in taking fashion at Cartmel in June and the handicapper may have let Emmet Mullins' gelding in lightly on his opening bid in this sphere. The return to 2m7f proved a tonic for Camilla's Choice here earlier in the month and an 8lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold bid for a C&D double. The seven-year-old mare may emerge as the main danger to the selection, ahead of fellow last-time-out winner Champ Royal.
This looks a strong race of its type but it's still hard to escape the claims of SLATE LANE, who was backed as though defeat was out of the question at Cartmel and there's a very good chance his opening mark underestimates him. Fellow last-time-out winners Champ Royal and Camilla's Choice head the opposition.
The unexposed SLATE LANE bolted up in a Cartmel maiden on his debut for Emmet Mullins and he could be in a different league to these.

1st (2) (1.38/1 +39%) Girl Magic |
1.38/1(+39%) | (2) Girl Magic 1.38/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (5/1) at this course (6f, good) 34 days ago, driven out. 2 lb nudge fair enough and shouldn't be far away. Made it 2-2 here when winning last month and she's a strong candidate. |

2nd (1) (3/1 -9%) Faustus |
3/1(-9%) | (1) Faustus 3/1, C&D winner. 11/2, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 12 days ago. Remains feasibly treated up 4 lb and hopes can be high that he will be bang there once more. Won at Brighton 12 days ago and this C&D winner could be bang there once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6/1 +0%) Recon Mission |
6/1(+0%) | (3) Recon Mission 6/1, 8/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, soft) 38 days ago. Good second off 2 lb higher on latest visit to this course in May and a reproduction of that would give him every chance. Better could have been expected at Chester but he's not ruled out off a handy mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 -20%) Betweenthesticks |
4/1(-20%) | (4) Betweenthesticks 4/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, good) 11 days ago. Knocking on the door prior to that and he's of strong interest back on the AW (unexposed on synthetics). Below par at Chepstow 11 days ago but he's a major player on his placed form last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (25/1 +24%) Street Life |
25/1(+24%) | (6) Street Life 25/1, Latest win at Catterick in June. 40/1, last of 12 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won at Catterick in June and is now 2lb lower, but he's struggled on his four runs since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (11/1 -29%) Cabeza De Llave |
11/1(-29%) | (5) Cabeza De Llave 11/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Just 1 lb above last winning mark and he's not discounted. Good 2nd at Sandown last month and found to be lame when down the field at Yarmouth since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GIRL MAGIC has shown a liking for this track, with her last two victories coming here over 6f, and the daughter of Havana Grey, who drops back to 5f on this occasion, is expected to prove too strong for her rivals. Faustus scored at Brighton last time and is respected off a 4lb higher mark. Betweenthesticks and Cabeza De Llave are others likely to enter the reckoning.
BETWEENTHESTICKS is 0-9 this season but he has gone close on a few occasions and is appealing returned to the all-weather off a workable mark. The main danger may be posed by Faustus, who regained the winning thread at Brighton recently and remains feasibly treated. Recon Mission is capable of a bold show too.
3yo filly GIRL MAGIC (nap) made it 2-2 here (both 6f) when winning last time and should have the speed to cope with the drop back to 5f.

1st (3) (3.33/1 +33%) Pull Again Green |
3.33/1(+33%) | (3) Pull Again Green 3.33/1, Useful/progressive form over hurdles during 2021/22 campaign, winning 3 times. Out of luck since, though, and while he wasn't disgraced back in this sphere at Uttoxeter last time, one or two of these are more appealing. Held in his three chase runs and was behind Any News last time; needs to step up. |

5/1(-25%) | (2) Jesuitique 5/1, Multiple hurdles winner in 2021 and showed the benefit of his reappearance spin at Uttoxeter (first run for 15 months) when going close in a Cartmel (22.1f, heavy) handicap. 4 lb higher mark to contend with on this chase debut but will be a threat if his jumping passes the test. Went very close in his last hurdle run and is respected on his chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (3.33/1 +26%) Any News |
3.33/1(+26%) | (4) Any News 3.33/1, Bumper/hurdles winner. Yet to get his head in front over fences but he got back in track when finding just one too good at Uttoxeter (20.9f, good) last month (Pull Again Green and The Bomber Liston behind) and moving back up in trip here is no bad thing. Good second at Uttoxeter but he's now 0-10 over fences and others look stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4.5/1 +18%) Grey Skies |
4.5/1(+18%) | (5) Grey Skies 4.5/1, Fortunate winner at Sedgefield in March but there was nothing lucky about his follow-up success at Perth the following month. Has shaped better than the bare result last 2 starts, latterly fifth of 11 over this C&D, and he's a major player. Came good over fences in the spring but he's been well held in last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (8/1 +27%) The Bomber Liston |
8/1(+27%) | (6) The Bomber Liston 8/1, Seemingly hard to train and has made an inauspicious start over fences, unseating early on at Worcester in June and subsequently well held at Uttoxeter. Bit to prove at present. Unexposed chaser but was well held at Uttoxeter last time and he needs a transformation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (4.5/1 -125%) Farouk De Cheneau |
4.5/1(-125%) | (1) Farouk De Cheneau 4.5/1, Has returned from a break an improved performer for new yard, completing the hat-trick with minimum fuss at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good to soft) last month. Up another 6 lb but he's clearly at the top of his game and another bold show anticipated. 3-3 for current yard and he had plenty in hand at Newton Abbot last time; major player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
FAROUK DE CHENEAU has clearly benefited from a change of scenery, having made it a hat-trick of victories with a wide-margin triumph at Newton Abbot, and, in his current vein of form, it is difficult to imagine a 6lb rise stopping him. Jesuitique returned to form when just denied over hurdles at Cartmel and is very much respected on his chasing bow. Any News completes the shortlist based on his recent second at Uttoxeter.
Preference is for GREY SKIES, who wasn't able to show what he can do upped to this trip over C&D recently (left with too much to do) and, now 2 lb lower in the weights, he is taken to regain the winning thread. Farouk de Cheneau is an obvious danger in his bid to complete the four-timer, while Any News returned to form last time and should give another good account. Jesuitique also enters calculations on his chase debut.
This can go to FAROUK DE CHENEAU, who made it 3-3 for his current yard when scoring in good style over 3m2f at Newton Abbot last month.

1st (2) (0.53/1 +62%) Topo Chico |
0.53/1(+62%) | (2) Topo Chico 0.53/1, First run since leaving Joseph Parr and better than ever when winning 9-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, plenty in hand. Carries penalty and very much the one to beat. Recorded an emphatic win at Windsor eight days ago on debut for new stable; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/1 -69%) Shot |
11/1(-69%) | (3) Shot 11/1, First run since leaving Tom Ward and career best when winning 8-runner handicap here (6f, AW), having run of race. Off 143 days but Oisin Murphy is a very positive booking. AW winner here on stable debut when last seen; may have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/1 -67%) Phoenix Glow |
10/1(-67%) | (7) Phoenix Glow 10/1, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (11/1) at Brighton (6f, good) 12 days ago. This looks his optimum trip and another prominent showing likely. Brighton win took her record over 6f in 2023 to 2-3; hard to dismiss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (10/1 -67%) Katar |
10/1(-67%) | (5) Katar 10/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 5/2) 17 days ago. Remains a maiden but that was another sound effort. In-form maiden; now 0-14 but a first success is not out of the question. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (20/1 -82%) Stryder |
20/1(-82%) | (6) Stryder 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1 and tongue strap on for first time, sixth of 11 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut and this mark asks for more. Not obviously well treated on handicap debut but is a possible improver. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (22/1 -38%) Puffable |
22/1(-38%) | (1) Puffable 22/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 40/1) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time down in class. Could well revive back at this distance and dropped in grade with new headgear applied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (4.5/1 +18%) Talamanca |
4.5/1(+18%) | (4) Talamanca 4.5/1, Respectable third of 6 in handicap (7/4) at Bath (5.7f, firm) 54 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces and he's below his last winning mark. May be ready to peak as this looks his time of year judged on 2yo evidence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (66/1 -32%) Grey Rosetta |
66/1(-32%) | (8) Grey Rosetta 66/1, 33/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 12 days ago. Others have achieved more. Maiden whose form claims are not entirely solid. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The drop to 6f appeared to work the oracle for TOPO CHICO with a comfortable success at Windsor last Sunday. She has to carry a 6lb penalty for that success, but the manner of that performance suggested it wouldn't be a surprise to see her back it up. A change of headgear to first-time blinkers might aid the cause of Talamanca, while Phoenix Glow and Katar complete the shortlist.
TOPO CHICO was pretty impressive starting out for a new yard when successful at Windsor last week and, on that evidence, a penalty won't prevent the follow up. Shot also arrives on the back of a winning start for a new stable and is feared most, with Talamanca and Phoenix Glow also of interest.
Provided she backs up the form of her Windsor win, TOPO CHICO looks capable of defying a penalty. Talamanca is second choice.

1st (9) (5/1 +29%) Choirmaster |
5/1(+29%) | (9) Choirmaster 5/1, Fairly useful on Flat and in good nick in this sphere since undergoing a wind op, close up when unseated rider 2 out in handicap at Worcester (16f, good, 9/2) 20 days ago. Should give a good account. Was travelling fine when falling late on at Worcester (2m, good) 20 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (2/1 +20%) Max Of Stars |
2/1(+20%) | (10) Max Of Stars 2/1, Has taken really well to hurdling and made it 2-3 in 7-runner juvenile hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft) 29 days ago, always holding on. Has to be taken seriously now handicapping off a lenient mark. Keen-going front-runner who makes handicap debut after two juvenile wins at Newton Abbot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 +11%) Allbetsoff |
4/1(+11%) | (5) Allbetsoff 4/1, Arrives better than ever, scoring at Southwell before recording an excellent third there (15.8f, good) 27 days ago. Player off the same mark. Only narrowly failed to double his tally from the front at Southwell (2m, good) last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/1 -43%) Eagle's Realm |
10/1(-43%) | (3) Eagle's Realm 10/1, Dual winner at Stratford last summer. Has made a good start for his new yard, second of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 17 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Respectable back-to-back runs on the Flat and here this summer; thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (6/1 +14%) Zamond |
6/1(+14%) | (7) Zamond 6/1, Consistent sort who wasn't disgraced when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Considered off an easing mark. Well handicapped on last season's best form but yet replicate any of that this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/1 -13%) Mcgowan's Pass |
9/1(-13%) | (4) Mcgowan's Pass 9/1, It's now seventeen runs since last win in 2020 but this veteran posted a creditable second of 7 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Not discounted. Continues to run well and second to an in-form rival last time at Perth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (20/1 -100%) Melnik |
20/1(-100%) | (8) Melnik 20/1, Modest ex-Irish maiden. Only sixth of 8 on his yard debut in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 20 days ago. Needs to step forward. Just modest efforts over hurdles, including a 10l defeat on debut for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (10/1 +0%) Stonific |
10/1(+0%) | (1) Stonific 10/1, Latest hurdles success was in the Summer Handicap at Market Rasen for David O'Meara off 12 lb higher in July 2021. Hasn't really built on an encouraging start for new yard after a year off this term, blinkers not doing much for him at Ludlow in February. Cheekpieces return and he can go well fresh, so all hope not lost. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (80/1 -400%) Allibaba |
80/1(-400%) | (6) Allibaba 80/1, Fair form when placed both starts in bumpers for Willie Mullins but well held over hurdles so far. Needs to step forward now going into handicaps after six months off. Goes handicapping after three quiet runs for this yard but will need to jump better. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MAX OF STARS has shown a fine attitude for hurdling, winning twice at Newton Abbot in recent months, and the juvenile, who has used front-running tactics to best effect, makes plenty of appeal on her handicap bow. Choirmaster held every chance when falling two out at Worcester and warrants a fair amount of respect, while others for the shortlist include Mcgowan's Pass, who has been in consistent form of late, and Eagle's Realm.
MAX OF STARS hasn't looked back since sent hurdling and is fancied to make it 3-4 now going into handicaps off a lenient opening mark. Allbetsoff is in great nick too though so should ensure Ollie Pears' filly doesn't have things all her own way, with Eagle's Realm and Choirmaster in the mix too.
Front-runner Max Of Stars should remain on the scene but a chance is taken on STONIFIC, who might be best caught fresh.

2nd (4) (3/1 +33%) Havanagreattime |
3/1(+33%) | (4) Havanagreattime 3/1, Twice-raced colt. Fourth of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to soft, 12/1) 20 days ago, faring best of those held up. Open to improvement and live each-way chance with William Buick booked. Has made the frame in both runs, latest at Glorious Goodwood; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 +13%) Shayekh |
7/1(+13%) | (7) Shayekh 7/1, Fairly useful gelding. Visored for 1st time, bit below form tenth of 20 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, soft, 18/1) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and may again prove vulnerable from a win point of view. Consistent at maiden/novice level but looks quirky and comes with risk. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (1.25/1 +17%) Cajetan |
1.25/1(+17%) | (2) Cajetan 1.25/1, Promising sort. Second of 9 in minor event (11/1) at Salisbury (6f, good) 11 days ago, just failing. Holds Group-race entries and can be expected to make a bold bid to go one better here. Went very close at Salisbury last time; holds Group entries; leading player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (50/1 -257%) Wessex |
50/1(-257%) | (9) Wessex 50/1, Foaled March 23. €30,000 foal, £41,000 yearling, Kodi Bear colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Makhan King. Yard can ready a newcomer and market check advised. £41,000 yearling; Kodi Bear half-brother to a 6f winner; market instructive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (100/1 -300%) Mbappe |
100/1(-300%) | (5) Mbappe 100/1, Twice-raced colt. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 9/2) 60 days ago. Likely to need more time. Bare form leaves him with a lot to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (80/1 -142%) Bated Breeze |
80/1(-142%) | (1) Bated Breeze 80/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Tenth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW, 7/2) 63 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Eve Johnson Houghton. Probably more one for nurseries in due course. Gelded since last run; needs improvement on debut for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CAJETAN displayed a lot more promise when just denied at Salisbury last Thursday and a similar level of performance may suffice in this contest. Elmonjed, a half-brother to the highly-rated Khanjar, is a potential fly in the ointment, and any market support would make the Blue Point gelding interesting. Shayekh should prove more competitive in these calmer waters and could put his experience to good use to have a say in the finish too.
This represents a good opportunity for CAJETAN, who duly left his debut form well behind when failing by a whisker at Salisbury and entries in the Mill Reef and the Middle Park suggest that better is expected from this colt. The four newcomers are all appealing on paper, particularly Elmonjed, who possesses a speedy pedigree and hails from a leading yard. Havanagreattime has shaped encouragingly on both starts to date and he makes each-way appeal.
The strongest contender is CAJETAN, with Havanagreattime feared most. The newcomers need a market check.

4/1(+0%) | (1) Simply Red 4/1, Tongue strap refitted when making it 3 wins from 3 starts at this track in 9-runner handicap hurdle 17 days ago. Up 6 lb but she's still not taken lightly. 2l winner here recently, extending her unbeaten record here; must have a chance. |

2nd (4) (3.33/1 +0%) Getaway Tom |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8.5/1 +15%) Minella Plus |
8.5/1(+15%) | (2) Minella Plus 8.5/1, Scored over fences at Hexham and Ludlow (both at around 2m) last autumn but arrives below form back in this sphere. Needs to get back on track. Returned to hurdles for last four appearances and hasn't been firing as he can. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7.5/1 +38%) Cabrakan |
7.5/1(+38%) | (3) Cabrakan 7.5/1, Two-time winner last season who raced wide when tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Very much one to consider off a 2 lb lower mark. Dual hurdle winner; little below par the last twice; others are more intriguing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (2/1 +33%) Gifted Angel |
2/1(+33%) | (8) Gifted Angel 2/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who got off the mark at only the second attempt in this sphere in 2m Stratford juvenile earlier in the month. Not discounted on his handicap bow, especially if brushing up his jumping. Made all at Stratford and should make presence felt at this level on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 +0%) Rolypolymoly |
22/1(+0%) | (5) Rolypolymoly 22/1, Won twice from 4 starts over hurdles in the first half of last season. Raced very freely when thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 30 days ago. No forlorn hope if settling better here. Two juvenile wins; needed to run better at Market Rasen latest to be strongly fancied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (25/1 -79%) Asa |
25/1(-79%) | (9) Asa 25/1, Fair maiden hurdler who turned in a below-par third of 5 in handicap at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 133 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Well held in four handicaps but getting back on drier terrain heightens interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (80/1 -100%) Al Kherb |
80/1(-100%) | (10) Al Kherb 80/1, Signed off for John Quinn with 2m Stratford selling win in 2021 but offered little for Tony Carroll after 13 months off when last of 13 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap last month. Has it to prove back in this sphere. Four wins divided between the Flat and hurdling; not at her best under either code. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (9/1 +10%) Benito |
9/1(+10%) | (6) Benito 9/1, Consistent sort who has had a wind op since posting a respectable eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good) 84 days ago. Can't be ruled out. Had wind surgery since last time and dangerous to rule out off a competitive mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (33/1 -230%) Swift Tuttle |
33/1(-230%) | (7) Swift Tuttle 33/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat for Brian Meehan but he has offered little over hurdles so far for his current yard. Fit from the Flat but more is needed now going into handicaps. Capable on his day on the Flat but inconsistent and still to win; h'cap debut hurdling. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Gifted Angel stepped forward from his hurdling bow to score at Stratford at the beginning of the month. However, his jumping wasn't particularly fluent and Tom Dascombe's gelding will need to improve in that department now running against more experienced rivals. The vote, therefore, goes to GETAWAY TOM, who was only beaten a neck when bidding for a double at Newton Abbot last time and the five-year-old looks capable of getting back to winning ways off 4lb higher in this company. Recent C&D winner Simply Red appeals most of the remainder.
A few with chances but GETAWAY TOM's form is on an upward curve since sent handicapping so he can defy a 4 lb rise for his excellent Newton Abbot second and bounce back to winning ways. Simply Red is unbeaten round here so greatly feared despite having a career-high mark to overcome. The handily-weighted Cabrakan is also firmly in the picture having not been seen to best effect at Market Rasen last time.
The 3yo GIFTED ANGEL won well at Stratford in spite of some novicey jumping and this track will suit his style.

(5) (10/1 +0%)10/1(+0%) | (5) Sapphire's Moon 10/1, Modest filly. One win from 32 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 10 in minor event (16/1) at Brighton (7f, good) 11 days ago. Hood on first time. Merits consideration for place purposes.

1st (1) (0.36/1 +42%) Belo Horizonte |

Drop to 7f a slight worry but obvious follow-up claims nonetheless. Unlucky at Wolverhampton last Monday then gained compensation at Yarmouth on Wednesday. |

150/1(-127%) | (9) Ourdefence 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, last of 4 in maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy) 13 days ago. Has poor claims on her maiden/novice form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BELO HORIZONTE gained compensation for his luckless third at Wolverhampton last Tuesday when winning with ease two days later at Yarmouth. Richard Spencer's gelding should have little difficulty in shrugging off a 6lb penalty on that evidence. Blue Curacao failed to fire in a first-time hood at Epsom at the start of the month, but the three-year-old can't be discounted now entering into a classified stakes contest. Sapphire's Moon has a squeak on her best form this season and completes the shortlist.
The drop to 7f isn't sure to suit easy Yarmouth winner BELO HORIZONTE but in truth against this opposition it may not prove to be a decisive factor. Blue Curacao is offered for forecast purposes.
Yarmouth scorer BELO HORIZONTE is still unexposed and taken to defy a penalty. Blue Curacao is second choice.

Couldn't translate that good form over to hurdles when fifth at Lingfield (2m) in December (final start for Lucy Wadham) but should be up to doing from this sort of mark judged on her Flat ability. Interesting on debut for Dan Skelton. Only had four starts in this discipline and open to improvement now with Dan Skelton. |

2nd (8) (12/1 -33%) Sinurita |

Won't have to step up too much to get competitive from her mark. Not offered much in two runs for this yard and has only dropped 3lb. |

Didn't run badly at Stratford and today's stiffer stamina test should work in her favour. |

4th (9) (9/1 +0%) Nowyouvebinandunit |
9/1(+0%) | (9) Nowyouvebinandunit 9/1, Improved efforts when placed in low-grade handicaps at Ffos Las and Worcester in recent months. Sean Bowen up but others much more obvious. Looks mildly progressive after pushing the favourite to within a length at Worcester. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (22/1 +12%) Araglen Star |
22/1(+12%) | (10) Araglen Star 22/1, Poor form, beaten 27 lengths when third in a Market Rasen maiden 18 days ago. 7 lb out of the handicap. Others more obvious. Remains a maiden and being 7lb out of the weights is no help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (14/1 -17%) Galah |
14/1(-17%) | (6) Galah 14/1, Her second at Newton Abbot last September was her only effort of note in 5 outings last season but her handicap mark came down as a result and she showed better signs when third on her 2m Uttoxeter reappearance 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip. Has dropped a good way down the weights and ran okay back from a break last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (20/1 -43%) Toughasoldboots |
20/1(-43%) | (4) Toughasoldboots 20/1, Doubled her tally returned to hurdling at Carlisle (17f, soft) in March but has failed to reproduce that form in her 3 outings since. Fitted with a first-time hood here. On last winning mark; hood fitted in a hope of turning things around. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (33/1 -136%) Fabreze |
33/1(-136%) | (3) Fabreze 33/1, Benefited from a more positive ride (equipped with cheekpieces) when clear-cut winner of a mares' handicap at Uttoxeter in June. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth at Cartmel next time but needs to shrug off a lesser run at Stratford since. Winner in June but subsequent efforts leave her with questions to answer now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (9/1 -29%) Teeceethree |
9/1(-29%) | (5) Teeceethree 9/1, Warwick bumper winner who was runner-up on her first 2 outings over hurdles. Failed to stay 23f at Worcester last time and now drops back in trip for handicap debut. Unexposed. Poor latest but previous seconds bring her into it off this sort of mark now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (3.33/1 +5%) On Cloud Nine |
3.33/1(+5%) | (2) On Cloud Nine 3.33/1, Runner-up completed starts in points and got off the mark at the fifth time of asking over hurdles when seeing off 8 rivals in a C&D maiden 17 days ago. Did that readily and should go well back in handicap. Off the mark in a C&D maiden (good) 17 days ago when she jumped well out in front. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
On Cloud Nine appeared to relish the step up to an extended 2m3f when landing a maiden hurdle here at the beginning of the month, but the Cloudings mare does have more on her plate now returning to this sphere off an 8lb higher mark than her sixth-placed effort at Worcester in July. With that in mind, it may pay to take a chance on FLAT WHITE improving for a change of scenery now in the care of Dan Skelton, as she has displayed enough ability on the level to suggest that she can make an impact in this sphere. Handicap debutant Teeceethree also enters calculations.
FLAT WHITE is interesting starting out for new trainer Dan Skelton and gets a narrow vote over recent C&D maiden winner On Cloud Nine. Jamie Snowden handicap newcomer Teeceethree may prove best of the remainder.
A few with chances but FLAT WHITE is potentially well handicapped on her first run for Dan Skelton.

1st (5) (22/1 -38%) Boom The Groom |
22/1(-38%) | (5) Boom The Groom 22/1, Last of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 10 days ago, lost all chance at start. Not getting any younger and needs to bounce back, but couldn't rule out all the same. Veteran who has a major doubt over current form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (6.5/1 +41%) Zing Up |
6.5/1(+41%) | (13) Zing Up 6.5/1, Unreliable individual. 22/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Bath (5f, good) 17 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces having a positive effect. 3yo maiden who has looked quirky; first-time cheekpieces may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5.5/1 -38%) I'm Mable |
5.5/1(-38%) | (1) I'm Mable 5.5/1, Latest win at Brighton in June. Respectable third of 6 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy, 10/3) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt off 1 lb lower here. Consistent this spring/summer; June win came off this mark; solid contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 -100%) Imperiousity |
5/1(-100%) | (3) Imperiousity 5/1, Fourth of 5 in handicap (5/2) at Brighton (6f, good) 12 days ago. Very much an each-way player with William Buick aboard. Could go well off a workable mark with this return to 5f looking ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (80/1 -60%) Lucy Lightfoot |
80/1(-60%) | (6) Lucy Lightfoot 80/1, 40/1, last of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, good) 23 days ago. Readily passed over. Record for current stable is far from convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (20/1 +9%) Kodi Dancer |
20/1(+9%) | (9) Kodi Dancer 20/1, Latest win at Brighton in July. 28/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 27 days ago. Others make more appeal. Won classified event on penultimate start; poor form in handicaps this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (2/1 +33%) Sparked |
2/1(+33%) | (7) Sparked 2/1, Second of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Windsor (6f, good) 7 days ago, clear of rest. One of the likelier winners. Returned to form with clear second at Windsor last week; leading player off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (28/1 -27%) Stocks Park |
28/1(-27%) | (2) Stocks Park 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, last of 7 in minor event at Windsor (5.1f, firm) 50 days ago. Makes handicap debut and needs to raise her game. Holds weak claims on novice form but the switch to handicap level may suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (200/1 -100%) Poppyequiano |
200/1(-100%) | (12) Poppyequiano 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 10 days ago, lost all chance at start. Best to look elsewhere. Has no form claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (28/1 +15%) Fragrance |
28/1(+15%) | (10) Fragrance 28/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Last of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago. Opposable on balance. Largely unconvincing form this season for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (3/1 +57%) Thank The Lord |
3/1(+57%) | (4) Thank The Lord 3/1, Latest win at Bath in July. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, good, 4/1) 23 days ago. Place possibilities. Helped by the return of visor the last twice; remains of interest at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (80/1 -60%) Brazen Insanity |
80/1(-60%) | (14) Brazen Insanity 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1 and hooded for 1st time, tenth of 11 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Handicap debutante who has dismal form claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (28/1 +30%) Hoodoo |
28/1(+30%) | (8) Hoodoo 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in minor event at this course (6f, good to firm, 125/1) 58 days ago. Big step forward needed now pitched into a handicap. Needs a big step forward on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
I'M MABLE has maintained her form with some creditable efforts in defeat since winning over an extended 5f at Brighton in June. The Michael Attwater mare now races off the same mark as that success and the ease in trip shouldn't prove an inconvenience. The five-year-old gets the nod, ahead of Sparked, who was only denied by a neck at Windsor last Monday. Imperiousity and Thank The Lord also make some appeal off their current ratings in what looks a wide-open contest.
Having pulled clear of the rest when going close at Windsor last week, SPARKED makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here with the drying ground a plus. The consistent I'm Mable is feared most, albeit cases can also be made for Thank The Lord and Imperiousity. The veteran Boom The Groom needs a second look, too.
Windsor runner-up SPARKED can go one better turned out quickly before she's reassessed. Imperiousity is second choice.

1st (1) (1.5/1 +8%) Police Academy |
1.5/1(+8%) | (1) Police Academy 1.5/1, Failed to win for Oliver Sherwood but struck at the first time of asking for new trainer Fergal O'Brien in 2m Uttoxeter novice hurdle last month. Likely has more to offer for her new stable and can follow up back in a handicap. Made winning stable debut in a modest maiden but she should build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4.5/1 +10%) Pollypockett |
4.5/1(+10%) | (7) Pollypockett 4.5/1, Bumper winner who came good over hurdles in 20.5f Market Rasen handicap in June. Good second at Worcester since and likely to be in the thick of things again 3lb nudge for latest near miss is no help but should give her running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4.5/1 +0%) Never No Trouble |
4.5/1(+0%) | (2) Never No Trouble 4.5/1, Gained reward for her consistency when winning 8-runner maiden at Hereford (2m) in February. Runner-up all 3 starts in handicap hurdles this summer and should give another good account. Has finished runner-up in her last three hurdles and latest conqueror was well backed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (16/1 -14%) Symbolic Spirit |
16/1(-14%) | (3) Symbolic Spirit 16/1, Runner-up on Southwell handicap hurdle debut in November. Much more miss than hit since but it's possible she needed the outing on her recent Worcester reappearance. Now 0-10; blinkers did nothing for her when tailed off at Worcester (2m7f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (12/1 +25%) Green Or Black |
12/1(+25%) | (8) Green Or Black 12/1, Capitalised on a falling mark on her second start back with the yard at Uttoxeter in June but not at the same level in her 2 outings since. Bounce back needed. Well held since her Uttoxeter win; an 11yo now and others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (80/1 -220%) Hannah's Walk |
80/1(-220%) | (9) Hannah's Walk 80/1, No show in a bumper/novice hurdle for Warren Greatrex at the end of 2022. Fared no better in a hood and tongue tie combination for new yard at the start of the summer but handicap provide her with a more realistic chance. Worth a betting check back from a short break. Poor so far but now goes handicapping for a respected yard and market needs checking. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (11/1 -22%) Maggie O |
11/1(-22%) | (6) Maggie O 11/1, Irish point winner at third attempt. Best effort for new yard when chasing home stablemate On Cloud Nine (runs in first division) in a C&D novice 17 days ago. Handicap debut. Brian Hughes on stable's other runner. Second to On Cloud Nine in a maiden here; the winner runs in the previous race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (22/1 -83%) She's A Rocca |
22/1(-83%) | (5) She's A Rocca 22/1, Scored at Southwell (2m) in June 2022 but well beaten in 2 outings in the autumn and been off for 9 months ahead of this reappearance. Potentially well handicapped, back from a break and this trip should suit her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (7/1 +13%) Malina Ocarina |
7/1(+13%) | (4) Malina Ocarina 7/1, Landed a gamble at Southwell in May. Not at her best when a well-held third at Market Rasen (18.5f) 15 days ago but this return to a longer trip should suit her. Essentially underwhelming since coming 5l clear at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
POLICE ACADEMY made the perfect start for new connections at Uttoxeter last month and appears to be on a fair mark judged on past performances in handicap chases when with Oliver Sherwood. The six-year-old makes most appeal, with Never No Trouble appearing the selection's biggest challenger. The daughter of Time Test has finished runner-up on her last three appearances in this sphere and her latest 1lb rise shouldn't stop another decent effort. In-form rivals Pollypockett and Maggie O round off the shortlist.
It'll be a surprise if last month's Uttoxeter novice winner Police Academy doesn't have more to offer for new trainer Fergal O'Brien and she should take a bit of stopping back in a handicap. Never No Trouble and Pollypockett can fight it out for the forecast spot.
The suggestion is SHE'S A ROCCA, who will be well handicapped if rediscovering her best form on this return from a break.
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.
