1st (9) (2.25/1 +44%) Rising Sign |
2.25/1(+44%) | (9) Rising Sign 2.25/1, Foaled March 17. Frankel filly. Sister to useful 7f-1m winner Covey. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 6f-7f winner Right Touch. Appealing newcomer. Frankel sister to 7f/1m winner Covey; one to consider, especially if strong in the market. |

2nd (5) (1.62/1 -8%) Grand Job |
1.62/1(-8%) | (5) Grand Job 1.62/1, Twice-raced maiden. 8¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Matrika in Airlie Stud Stakes (9/2) at the Curragh (6f, good) 74 days ago, possibly not helped by racing far side. Debut effort contained considerable promise and the form has worked out so likely she has more to offer. Promising Curragh debut not backed up albeit in Group 2 company afterwards; upped in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (28/1 -180%) Expecting A Star |
28/1(-180%) | (3) Expecting A Star 28/1, Foaled January 27. €50,000 yearling, Zoustar filly. Dam useful French 7f-1m winner out of smart winner up to 7.5f (including at 2 yrs) Lady Wingshot. Zoustar filly a 50,000Euros yearling; interesting jockey booking for debutante. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5.5/1 +50%) Camelot Alexander |
5.5/1(+50%) | (2) Camelot Alexander 5.5/1, 16/1, showed plenty to work on when fourth of 11 in maiden at Tipperary (7.4f, soft) on debut 33 days ago, not knocked about. Sure to do better. Definite debut promise at Tipperary; expected to improve for that and one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (50/1 +24%) More Profit |
50/1(+24%) | (8) More Profit 50/1, Ninth of 11 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, good, 25/1) on debut 67 days ago. Well held when stiff enough task on debut in Naas winners race in July; upped in trip here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (14/1 -87%) Balanda |
14/1(-87%) | (1) Balanda 14/1, Foaled March 20. Caravaggio filly. Half-sister to 6f/7f winner Baladiya and useful 7.4f winner Baraniya. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to useful 8.6f-1½m winner Bashiyr. Newcomer for whom market likely best guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (5.5/1 -38%) Greenfinch |
5.5/1(-38%) | (6) Greenfinch 5.5/1, Foaled January 12. Justify filly. Half-sister to several winners, including high-class winner up to 7f U S Navy Flag (won July Cup and second in Irish 2000 Guineas). Lots to like on paper for top stable. Half-sister to top 2yo U S Navy Flag; superbly-bred although holds no fancy entries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (200/1 -100%) Loveforce |
200/1(-100%) | (7) Loveforce 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, thirteenth of 16 in maiden at Naas (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Two moderate runs, easily passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (20/1 +29%) Galel |
20/1(+29%) | (4) Galel 20/1, 18/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good) on debut 17 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to improve. Late progress on Naas debut last month over 6f; longer trip to suit and improvement likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (25/1 -25%) Tiffany Twisted |
25/1(-25%) | (10) Tiffany Twisted 25/1, Foaled March 4. Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to 2 winners, including 6f-1m winner Darkdeserthighway. One to note on debut. Recent barrier trial second respected on rules debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
GRAND JOB ran a cracker on debut when runner-up to Matrika in a Curragh maiden that has worked out particularly well since. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly disappointed subsequently behind the same rival, although she was also probably on the wrong side, in a messy Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes at the same venue on Irish Derby weekend. She's been given a break and hopefully can recapture that initial promise. Camelot Alexander should progress from her Tipperary debut while Greenfinch is certainly bred in the purple being by Justify out of the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Misty For Me who has already produced Group 1 winners U S Navy Flag and Roly Poly. Balanda and Rising Sign are other newcomers to note.
GRAND JOB drops in grade and she's worth another chance. Newcomers Greenfinch and Rising Sign are respected, while Camelot Alexander is open to improvement after a good start at Tipperary and could be on the premises.

Barney's Angel |
(1) (2.5/1 -25%)2.5/1(-25%) | (1) Barney's Angel 2.5/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (10/3) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 9 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Galactic Glow, kept up to work. Has to be interest under a penalty. Comfortably off the mark at Windsor and every chance of defying the penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (8) (8.5/1 +47%) Jimmy Mark |
8.5/1(+47%) | (8) Jimmy Mark 8.5/1, C&D winner in May. 4/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 55 days ago, unable to sustain effort. C&D winner in May but has struggled to recapture that level of form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7.5/1 -15%) Storm Asset |
7.5/1(-15%) | (4) Storm Asset 7.5/1, Latest win at Nottingham in June. Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm, 3/1) 31 days ago. Beaten about 7l in his last two runs and others have greater momentum behind them. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (14/1 +0%) Caramay |
14/1(+0%) | (7) Caramay 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form third of 6 in handicap (13/2) at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Something to find on form. When third in her second h'cap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) she was beaten about 14l. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/1 -38%) Dark Gold |
9/1(-38%) | (6) Dark Gold 9/1, 28/1 and blinkered for first time, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 23 days ago. Isn't straightforward but he should be a factor at that level. Now 0-8 and hung left in the first-time blinkers when a well-held third at Brighton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/1 +36%) Opticality |
9/1(+36%) | (5) Opticality 9/1, Visored for first time, respectable third of 14 in handicap (11/2) at this course (8f, soft), slowly away. Off 159 days. Back up in trip which will suit on run style. Placed here in April; now 0-16, lacks a run and may prefer softer ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (3.5/1 +42%) Miss Lightfandango |
3.5/1(+42%) | (3) Miss Lightfandango 3.5/1, Ran right up to form when third of 6 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 11/2) 18 days ago. Didn't look an easy ride in the process, though. Continues to finish a little closer in her races and unlikely to be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (1.25/1 +64%) Galactic Glow |
1.25/1(+64%) | (2) Galactic Glow 1.25/1, Three-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Good 1¼ lengths second of 13 to Barney's Angel in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 9/1) 9 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Came from well behind when second to Barney's Angel at Windsor; likes it here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BARNEY'S ANGEL got off the mark on his latest start at Windsor last Monday when proving too strong for the reopposing Galactic Glow. Despite the former having a 5lb penalty to contend with, it would be no surprise if Ian Williams' gelding were able to back that performance up. The aforementioned Galactic Glow is feared most due to his recent consistency, while others for the shortlist include Miss Lightfandango and Opticality.
GALACTIC GLOW and Barney's Angel occupied the first two positions in a Windsor handicap last week, with the former taken to reverse the form on 5 lb better terms. Dark Gold returned to form in blinkers at Brighton and is another to consider.

1st (6) (1.25/1 +17%) Ocean Conquest |
1.25/1(+17%) | (6) Ocean Conquest 1.25/1, Promising type. Fifth of 12 in maiden (9/4) at the Curragh (8f, good) 18 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Still looks the one to beat. Didn't seem to stay 1m at the Curragh; easier track here could suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (5.5/1 +69%) Shamsuddin |
5.5/1(+69%) | (9) Shamsuddin 5.5/1, 16/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) on debut 25 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Sure to improve with that under his belt. Shaped okay on last month's Curragh debut; better for that experience and don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (3.5/1 -5%) Rapid Mission |
3.5/1(-5%) | (7) Rapid Mission 3.5/1, Showed more than on debut when eighth of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good) 18 days ago. Showed a bit more at the Curragh last time; eligible for a mark after this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (12/1 -20%) Rocking Tree |
12/1(-20%) | (8) Rocking Tree 12/1, Seventh of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good, 18/1) on debut 32 days ago. Should progress. Plenty keen when never involved on Curragh debut last month; needs to improve plenty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (25/1 -39%) Kaptain Bay |
25/1(-39%) | (4) Kaptain Bay 25/1, Foaled March 31. €14,000 foal, €30,000 yearling, New Bay colt. Dam maiden half-sister to useful 9f/1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Casilda. Debutant appears the lesser likely of the Meade pair. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (50/1 -400%) Navajo Scout |
50/1(-400%) | (5) Navajo Scout 50/1, 18/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (8f) on debut 29 days ago. Well held on last month's Dundalk debut; likely to need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (66/1 -32%) Interestnpenalties |
66/1(-32%) | (2) Interestnpenalties 66/1, Twice-raced colt. 33/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Promise in both starts but looks a more likely type for nurseries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (4/1 -33%) Fighter |
4/1(-33%) | (1) Fighter 4/1, Foaled January 18. Frankel colt. Closely related to very smart winner up to 1½m Trading Leather and useful 11f/1½m winner Wexford Town and half-brother to 7f winner Gleadhradh. Lot to like on paper for top yard. Frankel colt of obvious appeal from top yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (200/1 -100%) I've Been Dreaming |
200/1(-100%) | (3) I've Been Dreaming 200/1, Last of 8 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good, 125/1) on debut 7 days ago, very slowly away. Lost all chance at the start on Gowran debut early this month; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (250/1 -150%) Edella |
250/1(-150%) | (10) Edella 250/1, Last of 11 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good, 150/1) on debut 17 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Blew the start when last of 11 on recent Naas debut; easily passed over. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
OCEAN CONQUEST has put in two solid efforts at the Curragh and can open his account at the third attempt. The son of Time Test cost 200,000 at the Newmarket Breeze Up Sale in May and made a bright start behind Henry Longfellow before only giving best inside the final furlong when fifth to Tamrat over this trip last month. He had Rapid Mission just over a length behind on the latter occasion. Fighter is certainly of interest being a newcomer from Ballydoyle and the Frankel colt out of a Sinndar mare is a three-parts brother to Irish Derby winner Trading Leather. Shamsuddin and Rocking Tree should both progress from debut runs at the Curragh.
OCEAN CONQUEST cost plenty at the breeze-ups and while he was a shade disappointing at the Curragh 3 weeks ago, he's well worth another chance given the promise of his debut. Fighter ticks plenty of boxes on debut, with Rapid Mission another to consider.
Probably not the strongest of maidens and Ballydoyle's newcomer FIGHTER, a son of Frankel, could be good enough

1st (6) (1/1 +39%) Eziva |
1/1(+39%) | (6) Eziva 1/1, Lightly-raced filly. Visored for 1st time, creditable fifth of 12 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.1f, good, 8/1) 15 days ago. Trainer going well. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Ought to go close. Not progressing but has shown a consistent level of form in her four defeats (1m2f-1m5f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (3/1 +40%) Skyquake |
3/1(+40%) | (7) Skyquake 3/1, Lightly-raced filly. Twelfth of 18 in minor event (14/1) at the Curragh (12f, good) 75 days ago. Stable having good spell. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to find something but only raced four times and perhaps the cheekpieces can help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/1 +0%) Narlita |
6/1(+0%) | (4) Narlita 6/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. 17/2, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (11.6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Placed in four of her nine runs; has been handicapping of late and looks vulnerable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4.5/1 -157%) As Fast As Wind |
4.5/1(-157%) | (5) As Fast As Wind 4.5/1, Fair filly. 11/1 and visored for 1st time, first run since leaving Adrian Murray when sixth of 8 in maiden at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 6 days ago. Blinkers back on returned to this longer trip and she's one to consider. Is 0-9 but has flashes of fair form and the return of blinkers could be a good thing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (150/1 -355%) Rene Artois |
150/1(-355%) | (2) Rene Artois 150/1, Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 40/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 14 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing. He's gone backwards and has been running to a low level over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (100/1 -100%) Super Surprise |
100/1(-100%) | (3) Super Surprise 100/1, Thrice-raced gelding on Flat. Ninth of 12 in maiden at Cork (12f, good to soft, 500/1) 14 days ago, merely plugging on. Handicaps likely to be more his bag in this sphere. Showed a tad more when beaten about 10l at Cork but others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (33/1 -65%) Delta Dawn |
33/1(-65%) | (1) Delta Dawn 33/1, Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. 100/1, last of 8 in handicap at Limerick (12.3f, good) 81 days ago. First run for yard after leaving James Leavy. Hard to fancy. Ex Ballydoyle; 0-9 overall and now exposed as moderate; another new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
EZIVA should be able to make the breakthrough in this weak affair. Out of Group 2 winner Eziyra, the selection has some solid form to her name and is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Skyquake is another in first time cheekpieces and the Joseph O'Brien-trained Zoffany bay is given second preference. Down the field on her handicap debut at the Curragh in June, she had some useful performers in behind. As Fast As Wind is the highest-rated of those with a mark. Placed three times from nine starts, she disappointed when starting off for Eoin Doyle at Clonmel last week. A Ballydoyle cast-off, it'll be interesting to see how Delta Dawn fares on debut for Peter Fahey, while Narlita is another that warrants respect.
AS FAST AS WIND wasn't at her best on her latest start at Clonmel 6 days ago but the return to this longer trip rates a likely plus on balance and she could be worth siding with to get back on track in refitted blinkers. Fellow 3-y-os Eziva and Skyquake head up the dangers.
Dermot Weld's EZIVA has fewer convictions than most of these and this looks an easier maiden than at Bellewstown last time.

1st (1) (1.25/1 +44%) Adaay In Devon |
1.25/1(+44%) | (1) Adaay In Devon 1.25/1, Progressing nicely, supplementing her Windsor win in 7-runner novice event (9/2) at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 18 days ago, pushed out. Double penalty but she sets the standard. Double penalty for two decisive wins on soft ground last month, but still a major player. |

2nd (7) (5/1 +44%) Eminent Jewel |
5/1(+44%) | (7) Eminent Jewel 5/1, Merely matched debut form when second of 5 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 27 days ago, no match for winner. Similar form in two starts at Wolverhampton; may be one for nurseries back over further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (10/1 +60%) Star Mind |
10/1(+60%) | (10) Star Mind 10/1, Foaled February 28. €32,000 yearling, Advertise filly. Closely related to 7.4f/8.3f winner Zuhair and half-sister to winner up to 9f Gallovie and 5f winner Pink Storm. Newcomer for successful yard. Stable can get one ready first time and worth a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (2.25/1 +55%) High Violet |
2.25/1(+55%) | (3) High Violet 2.25/1, Promising individual. Fourth of 11 in novice event at Newbury (6f, good, 10/1) on debut 26 days ago. Should progress. Promising fourth on Newbury debut last month; should have benefited from the experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (28/1 +44%) What Times Tea |
28/1(+44%) | (5) What Times Tea 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago, needing stiffer test. Showed a bit more on second start over C&D, but likely to be more competitive in nurseries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (40/1 +20%) Yiengaa |
40/1(+20%) | (11) Yiengaa 40/1, Fourth of 9 in maiden (66/1) at Ripon (6f, good) 16 days ago. Hinted at ability in both starts last month; still looks one for nurseries after this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (22/1 -100%) Scarlet Lady |
22/1(-100%) | (4) Scarlet Lady 22/1, Foaled April 12. Twilight Son filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Spiritual Lady and 1¼m winner Durand. Dam unraced. Something to like on breeding, but stable doesn't have many 2yos go in first time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Nasneen is interesting after her debut second at Catterick, although the going will be softer here and it isn't guaranteed that the daughter of Territories will take to it. Eminent Jewel has been running well on the all-weather at Wolverhampton and is another to consider, but ADAAY IN DEVON could be the one. An easy winner at Goodwood on soft last month, she has the steadier of 10st to contend with - minus her jockey's claim - but looks the most likely to handle conditions.
Shouldering a double penalty is never easy, but ADAAY IN DEVON is going the right way and with a 7 lb claimer enlisted, she may well bring up the hat-trick. Nasneen could be a big improver on this her second run, with High Violet another to consider.
Despite the double penalty the vote goes to ADAAY IN DEVON, who won twice with real authority on soft ground last month.

Edergole's Gift |

1st (2) (2.75/1 +0%) Vice Captain |
2.75/1(+0%) | (2) Vice Captain 2.75/1, With headgear quickly discarded, back to form when third of 8 in nursery (11/2) at Carlisle (6.9f, good) 13 days ago. Can be thereabouts once more having a first try at 5f. Now exposed unless the first attempt at 5f works well, and he's not short of speed. |

2nd (3) (0.33/1 +80%) Acer |
0.33/1(+80%) | (3) Acer 0.33/1, Placed on her first 3 starts and ran her best race when second of 7 in maiden at this course (5.7f, firm, 5/2) 7 days ago. Can build on her latest effort to go one better. Clear of the rest when behind a useful long odds-on favourite here last week. |

3rd (1) (66/1 +34%) Ludberg |
66/1(+34%) | (1) Ludberg 66/1, Again failed to beat a rival but showed more than on debut in 5-runner maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good, 15/1) 10 days ago, close up before weakening final 100 yds. Much more required. Showed more last time at Brighton but still brought up the rear in a field of five. |

4th (5) (22/1 +33%) City Waters |
22/1(+33%) | (5) City Waters 22/1, Foaled May 14. 1,000 gns yearling, Washington Dc filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 6f winner Riverside Walk and 1¼m-1¾m winner Tralee Hills. Dam 11.5f winner. Has a fair standard to aim at on debut. Newcomer; related to winners but cost only 1,000gns as a yearling. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
EDERGOLE'S GIFT has stepped forward with each start to date and arrives having filled the runner-up spot at Brighton last week. The drop to 5f may unlock further improvement and she gets the vote to go one better. Acer enters calculations following her recent second here after bouncing back from her penultimate outing at Windsor, while a drop back in trip could work the oracle for the consistent Vice Captain.
ACER is bred to be sharp and produced her best effort to date when runner-up at this course a week ago, so she could be ready to open her account as she returns to 5f. Vice Captain got back to form when third on his nursery debut last time and could be the main danger returned to maiden company, ahead of Always Love You.

7.5/1(-200%) | (11) Perfect Poise 7.5/1, 12/1, very good second of 17 in handicap at Navan (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Just failed to get up in Navan handicap over this trip last month; major player. |

2nd (1) (10/1 -25%) Church Mountain |
10/1(-25%) | (1) Church Mountain 10/1, Latest win at Killarney in July. Creditable seventh of 19 in handicap (25/1) at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago. First run for yard after leaving M. D. O'Callaghan. Hasn't stayed 1m2f of late; back at optimum trip for new yard and not one to rule out. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (5.5/1 +15%) Morning Approach |
5.5/1(+15%) | (12) Morning Approach 5.5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, creditable second of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 27 days ago, finishing well. Stable having good spell. Looks competitive on form. Hold-up performer probably not the easiest of rides but on a nice mark and could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (5.5/1 +39%) Mere Accountant |
5.5/1(+39%) | (8) Mere Accountant 5.5/1, 11/2, good third of 11 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good) 15 days ago. Trainer going well. Should go well again. Recent Bellewstown third was arguably a seasonal best; could go well from a low draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (14/1 +30%) Solar Breeze |
14/1(+30%) | (10) Solar Breeze 14/1, Respectable ninth of 17 in handicap at Navan (8f, good to soft, 14/1) 13 days ago. Plenty to find on two runs this summer despite reduced mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (10/1 +17%) Akmaam |
10/1(+17%) | (5) Akmaam 10/1, 11/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago. Recent Newcastle run modest, definite claims on previous close Curragh fourth at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (14/1 +30%) Kodiac Prince |
14/1(+30%) | (7) Kodiac Prince 14/1, 11/2, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Back down in trip. Back at probably his best trip here so don't rule out; draw not great. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (50/1 -25%) Zahee |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Zahee 50/1, Unreliable type. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 6 days ago. Out of form although excuses at Clonmel last week so wouldn't be one to readily rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (4.5/1 +31%) One Boss |
4.5/1(+31%) | (9) One Boss 4.5/1, 6/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good) 15 days ago. Enters calculations. Bellewstown second a seasonal-best; sure to be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (14/1 -27%) Exquisite Acclaim |
14/1(-27%) | (6) Exquisite Acclaim 14/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable eighth of 17 in handicap (18/1) at Navan (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Visor back on. AW winner is now 0-15 on turf and remains opposable off this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (18/1 +45%) Dromantine |
18/1(+45%) | (13) Dromantine 18/1, 7/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Better on AW: tame turf return at Leopardstown raises questions and tried in cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (3) (16/1 -167%) Mulgrave |
16/1(-167%) | (3) Mulgrave 16/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. 66/1, thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Navan (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago, finishing with running left. Booking of Stone-Walsh a plus. Terrific AW form early this year not transferred to turf; down 11lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (150/1 -127%) Wild Mountain |
150/1(-127%) | (2) Wild Mountain 150/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap (125/1) at Dundalk (6f) 29 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Both runs this term modest; hard to fancy despite reduced mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
PERFECT POISE caught the eye when keeping on behind Mashia in a 20-runner maiden at Naas back in May and the Ger Lyons-trained filly went close on her second handicap start again over this trip at Navan recently when just failing by a nose to Signora Bellissima. She remains on an attractive mark and has scope for further improvement. Morning Approach won over this trip at Leopardstown last summer and, having dropped down to a lower mark, comes here after a couple of solid placed efforts including when beating all bar Celebrating Ethel again at Leopardstown. Church Mountain won over a mile at Killarney in July while Akmaam also advertised his chance over this trip when beaten less than a length at the Curragh last month. One Boss has been a model of consistency this year and is another for the shortlist.
PERFECT POISE only just failed on her second go in a handicap at Navan 2 weeks ago and makes plenty of appeal off 1 lb lower. Morning Approach, Mere Accountant and One Boss make up the shortlist.

1st (4) (1.25/1 +50%) Isabella Bee |
1.25/1(+50%) | (4) Isabella Bee 1.25/1, Modest form in maiden/novice company but duly improved when going close on handicap debut at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) last month. 5 lb rise fair enough and this lightly-raced 6-y-o should have more to offer. Low-mileage mare who went very close on last month's handicap debut; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (6/1 -167%) Pittsburg |
6/1(-167%) | (6) Pittsburg 6/1, Firmly on the up since switched to fences, stylish winner of handicaps at Perth and Market Rasen last month. Failed by a whisker when bidding for the hat-trick at Cartmel (17.3f, soft) and will be a threat if able to translate that improvement back to this sphere. In prime form over fences last month; must be considered on return to hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (3.33/1 +67%) Only Fools |
3.33/1(+67%) | (9) Only Fools 3.33/1, Fair Flat winner in France and hit the crossbar in handicap hurdles at Newton Abbot and Worcester in May/June. Not disgraced when fourth at the latter course last time but subsequent wind op will need to help bring about some improvement if she's to take this. In the frame in last three handicaps; contender if wind op has any positive effect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (8/1 +60%) Green Or Black |
8/1(+60%) | (8) Green Or Black 8/1, Capitalised on a falling mark on second start back with this yard over C&D in June but she hasn't backed that up in 3 subsequent starts. Others preferred. Battled well to win off much reduced mark here in June but not quite in same form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/1 +44%) Rolypolymoly |
9/1(+44%) | (3) Rolypolymoly 9/1, Winner of juvenile events over this C&D and at Worcester last summer but largely struggled since, both in this sphere and on the Flat. Out of form on the Flat and over hurdles this summer; needs to turn things around. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (40/1 -82%) Apologise |
40/1(-82%) | (1) Apologise 40/1, Fair Flat winner in Ireland but yet to better modest form over hurdles, offering precious little on handicap bow in this sphere at Musselburgh when last seen in March. Well-beaten 40-1 shot when making handicap debut in competitive series final in March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (66/1 -32%) Ceci Wells |
66/1(-32%) | (12) Ceci Wells 66/1, Little solid form on the level and hasn't fared much better over hurdles. Has undergone a wind op since her latest start in June and hopes very much pinned on that procedure sparking immediate improvement. Pulled up after racing too freely in her first two handicaps; too risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (8/1 +33%) Willy Nilly |
8/1(+33%) | (10) Willy Nilly 8/1, Remains a maiden following 12 attempts in this sphere. Produced one of his better efforts when second over 2½m here a fortnight ago but whether he will be able to reproduce that level of form remains to be seen. 0-12 over hurdles but ran big race when second here a fortnight ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The Fergal O'Brien stable can do little wrong at present, and this looks like an ideal opportunity for ISABELLA BEE to get off the mark following an agonising defeat at Newton Abbot last month. Liam Harrison's 3lb claim should come in handy as well, and she is preferred to dual C&D winner Ambassador and Pittsburg, who is unlucky not to be arriving on a four-timer after a narrow defeat over fences at Cartmel.
ISABELLA BEE finished strongly when just touched off on her handicap debut at Newton Abbot and, with the potential for more back on a stiffer track, she is taken to go one better this time. If Pittsburg reproduces something akin to his improved chase form back hurdling he will be a danger to all.
The suggestion is ONLY FOOLS, who didn't get home when ridden very positively over 2m4f last time and now drops back in trip.

1st (2) (4.5/1 +18%) Notturno |
4.5/1(+18%) | (2) Notturno 4.5/1, Unreliable type. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Roscommon (11.6f, good to soft, 4/1) 9 days ago, suited by way race developed. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has run well in defeat a number of times this term; cheekpieces might help concentration. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/1 +9%) Bright N Shine |
5/1(+9%) | (3) Bright N Shine 5/1, Remains a maiden after 9 starts but holding form pretty well, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Roscommon (11.6f0 9 days ago. Should give another good account. Three solid turf runs with a lesser AW effort in between; likely to be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (2.25/1 +32%) Elsa's Pride |
2.25/1(+32%) | (4) Elsa's Pride 2.25/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 17-runner handicap at Cork (12f, good to soft, 25/1) 14 days ago, going on near line. Rider's claim off-sets rise in weights and can go well once more given she's low-mileage at this sort of trip. Surprise winner over this trip at Cork; 5lb higher at a very different track but chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (33/1 -175%) Sparkit |
33/1(-175%) | (7) Sparkit 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable 5¼ lengths eighth of 13 to Charlie Darling in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft, 28/1) 13 days ago. Was 3rd in a 3yo hurdle in July and not beaten far back to the Flat last time; of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (20/1 -43%) Real History |
20/1(-43%) | (11) Real History 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, 7 lengths tenth of 13 to Charlie Darling in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft, 14/1) 13 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. A bit better on second handicap start at Navan last time; more required but down 4lb helps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (7.5/1 +25%) Show No Fear |
7.5/1(+25%) | (9) Show No Fear 7.5/1, 8/1 and blinkered for 1st time, below form fifth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft) 19 days ago. Pick of his form for previous stable gives him good claims returned to the level. Solid runs in Flat h'caps early in season; since 2nd in 3yo hurdle; one to consider. |

7th (6) (6/1 +40%) Charlie Darling |
6/1(+40%) | (6) Charlie Darling 6/1, Winner at Navan (14f) in August. 13/2, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Got off the mark at Navan 2 weeks ago but held off this mark at Down Royal since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (18/1 -50%) Ruler Of The River |
18/1(-50%) | (8) Ruler Of The River 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, first run since leaving Andrew Kinirons when very good fifth of 14 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft) 10 days ago. That may not prove her limit now stepping back up in trip. Best run when not beaten far in a 1m1f handicap at Tipperary last time; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (14/1 -17%) Sleepless Knight |
14/1(-17%) | (12) Sleepless Knight 14/1, Creditable eighth of 18 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft, 9/1) 11 days ago, ridden early in straight and making late headway. Cheekpieces go on now stepping back up in trip. Best run came in a 1m2f Navan handicap last time; has to build upon that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (66/1 -450%) Mayo For Sam |
66/1(-450%) | (10) Mayo For Sam 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in maiden at Roscommon (12f, good to soft, 80/1) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Best effort in three maidens came over this trip at Roscommon last time; cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (14/1 -40%) Eagles Reign |
14/1(-40%) | (5) Eagles Reign 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good sixth of 14 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft, 33/1) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Must improve. Decent effort over 1m1f at Tipperary last time; cheekpieces stay on; chance if staying. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (22/1 -120%) Ravshan |
22/1(-120%) | (1) Ravshan 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 12 in maiden (40/1) at Cork (12f, good to soft) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Will hold more chance now handicapping and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour. Best of three maiden runs came over this trip at Cork last time; blinkers retained. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A competitive affair with ELSA'S PRIDE the suggestion. On just her second start in handicap company, the Fozzy Stack-trained grey done well to see off 16 rivals at Cork, getting up in the closing stages to beat well-fancied German import Oakley. Upped just 5lb for that success, she might be able to follow-up now. Successful at Navan last week, Charlie Darling since finished fifth at Down Royal on Friday and another good effort can be expected from the Gavin Cromwell-trained chestnut. Beaten by just half-a-length at Roscommon, Bright N Shine should give a good account of himself, while others for the shortlist are Notturno (first time cheekpieces), handicap debutant Ravshan and the three-time placed Show No Fear.
ELSA'S PRIDE showed much-improved form having her first crack at this trip when landing a 17-runner Cork handicap 2 weeks ago and with further progress possible, she can follow up. Show No Fear returned to the level and Bright N Shine are a couple of others to consider.
Having wandered about under pressure last time at Roscommon, NOTTURNO has cheekpieces now and it might help him score.

1st (5) (6/1 +20%) Neverstopdreaming |
6/1(+20%) | (5) Neverstopdreaming 6/1, Winner at Pontefract in June. Denied a run under 2f out when fifth of 7 in nursery (4/1) at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago, not knocked about. Worth another chance. Ran with credit on nursery debut, but didn't enjoy a clear run last time; each-way claims. |

2nd (2) (12/1 +0%) Biloxi Boy |
12/1(+0%) | (2) Biloxi Boy 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Ripon in June. 12/1, last of 9 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 32 days ago so needs to bounce back. Held in three starts since winning at Ripon; soft ground remains a question mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (4/1 +43%) Knicks |
4/1(+43%) | (9) Knicks 4/1, Fair maiden. Good second in 5.5f Ayr novice before failing to get home upped to 7f when eighth of 12 in nursery at Newbury 15 days ago. Remains with potential so he's a player now back in trip. Best effort so far on soft ground; respected back in trip with conditions likely to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7.5/1 -36%) Defying Orders |
7.5/1(-36%) | (1) Defying Orders 7.5/1, Winner at Lingfield in July. Creditable third of 8 in nursery at Ffos Las (6f, heavy, 9/2) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly. Held in two starts since winning at Lingfield; fast ground may suit her better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (4/1 +33%) Indication Call |
4/1(+33%) | (6) Indication Call 4/1, Winner at Ayr in May. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 6 in nursery (6/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. One for the shortlist. Not progressing in nurseries; has run well on good to soft, but anything softer a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/1 -69%) Woodleigh |
11/1(-69%) | (3) Woodleigh 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Only fourth of 5 in nursery (9/2) at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Best effort when just beaten on soft ground two starts back; chance if bouncing back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (6/1 +40%) Petra Celera |
6/1(+40%) | (4) Petra Celera 6/1, Winner at Catterick in July. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Has work to do now. Tailed off on nursery debut last time, but consistent before that and could bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (11/1 +21%) Professor Tickle |
11/1(+21%) | (8) Professor Tickle 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. 12/1, below form fourth of 8 in nursery at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and can bounce back under these less testing conditions. Not built on his Brighton success in June; needs to turn things around; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (40/1 -700%) Ishe Worth Agamble |
40/1(-700%) | (10) Ishe Worth Agamble 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at Beverley (5f, soft) 51 days ago. May do better on his handicap debut. No forlorn hope. Open to improvement now handicapping, but testing ground would pose a question. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (8/1 +20%) Vitarli |
8/1(+20%) | (7) Vitarli 8/1, Winner at Beverley in April. 10/1, solid fourth of 7 in nursery at Ripon (5f, good) 15 days ago. Needs considering. Ran well on return from four months off last time; proven on soft ground; respected. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
With the James Horton horses running to form, a big effort from Neverstopdreaming is predicted as she starts to come down the handicap, while Defying Orders is another to take seriously based on her better efforts that include a fourth in a far more valuable race at Newmarket last month. WOODLEIGH remains a maiden after five starts, but he was only beaten half a length in testing ground at Thirsk in July, and the son of Inns Of Court could handle these conditions better than most.
This looks wide open but KNICKS figures on a fair mark and should prove suited by dropping back in trip so edges the vote. Defying Orders arrives in good nick and is feared most, although in-form pair Neverstopdreaming and Vitarli need factoring in too.
The vote goes to VITARLI who showed good form on a soft surface in the spring and should be all the better for her recent return.

3.33/1(+26%) | (6) Go Your Own Way 3.33/1, Good second of 8 in nursery (3/1) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 9 days ago, running on. Same mark here and he can make his presence felt. Has done well in blinkers and had Irrelevant behind when runner-up at Chepstow. |

2nd (4) (8.5/1 -42%) Monks Mead |
8.5/1(-42%) | (4) Monks Mead 8.5/1, Huge-price winner at Lingfield in July. Creditable sixth of 10 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f, 7/2) shaping as though worth a go at 1m. Got behind and was never dangerous on return to the AW at Chelmsford; better expected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (11/1 -38%) Dainty Lady |
11/1(-38%) | (7) Dainty Lady 11/1, Best effort yet when third of 10 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f) 11 days ago. Way she shaped on that occasion suggests 1m will be within range. Stayed on well for third over 7f at Chelmsford; gives the impression that 1m will suit. |

5th (1) (1.1/1 +0%) Irrelevant |
1.1/1(+0%) | (1) Irrelevant 1.1/1, Blinkered for first time, career best when winning 10-runner nursery (10/3) at Kempton (7f) 5 days ago, plenty in hand. Will take some stopping under a penalty. Bolted up at Kempton and could make light of the penalty if as good again. |

6th (8) (8/1 +11%) Budding Poet |
8/1(+11%) | (8) Budding Poet 8/1, Prominent in the betting but fared no better switched to a nursery when eighth of 10 at Southwell (6.1f) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Only 7-2 for nursery debut on Tapeta and that run was probably too bad to be true. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (28/1 -12%) Harts Pocketrocket |
28/1(-12%) | (2) Harts Pocketrocket 28/1, Displayed ability in a maiden at Ffos Las but that looks a stand out effort, fifth of 6 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. All runs at 5f or 6f, including two nurseries; questions to answer upped to 1m. |

8th (5) (28/1 +15%) Proficient |
28/1(+15%) | (5) Proficient 28/1, Tongue strap on for first time, fourth of 6 in nursery at Brighton (6f, good, 16/1) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Down 4lb for her first two defeats in nurseries but may need more help than that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (20/1 -25%) Elegant Elloise |
20/1(-25%) | (9) Elegant Elloise 20/1, Limited impact in her qualifying runs, eighth of 14 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 76 days ago. Cheekpieces on for nursery debut and this trip much more suitable on breeding, Likely improver. Poor so far but up in trip for handicap debut and with cheekpieces added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (100/1 -100%) Cable Strike |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Cable Strike 100/1, 250/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, twelfth of 13 in maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Well behind Weston Court in his final qualifying run at Chepstow; has shown very little. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
IRRELEVANT looked a different proposition in first-time blinkers when storming clear at Kempton on Friday, and the son of Ribchester may prove a tough nut to crack under a 6lb penalty. Go Your Own Way has been knocking on the door recently and commands plenty of respect. Dainty Lady stayed on to finish third at Chelmsford last time and the extra furlong may yield some improvement.
Fitted with blinkers for the first time, IRRELEVANT turned a Kempton nursery into a rout last week and assuming he's as effective on turf, he looks well ahead of the game under a penalty. Go Your Own way can give it another good shot, with Elegant Elloise a potential improver tackling a more suitable race/trip.

6/1(-9%) | (6) Oriole 6/1, Fairly useful filly. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Naas (10.5f, good to soft) 17 days ago, responding well. Showed good attitude when winning a handicap at Naas, faces a tough task at these weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/1 -25%) Jungle Cove |
10/1(-25%) | (2) Jungle Cove 10/1, Useful gelding. Nineteenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft, 50/1) 3 days ago, missing break. Blinkers back on and tardy starts always a worry with him. Won big handicaps last year at Leopardstown and Ascot, well below best last three starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (2/1 -67%) Hannibal Barca |
2/1(-67%) | (1) Hannibal Barca 2/1, Useful gelding. 11 lengths last of 7 to Goldana in Gladness Stakes (5/1) at the Curragh (7f, heavy), inadequate test. Off 150 days and back over a more suitable trip. Major player. Group 3 winner last year on stable debut, nothing has gone right since, best at weights. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
HANNIBAL BARCA has been campaigned at the highest level including behind Westover in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby last year and appears to have found a good opportunity to add to his tally. The son of Zoffany won as a juvenile for Brian Meehan before a creditable fourth to Luxembourg in the Group 1 Vertem Futurity Trophy at Doncaster and landed the Group 3 Gallinule Stakes for current connections over 1m2f at the Curragh last season. He's absent (and been gelded) since soundly beaten on testing ground in the Gladness Stakes at the same venue this spring. Fleetfoot has always been held in good regard by connections and shaped well on his reappearance at Roscommon last week. Jungle Cove won valuable handicaps at Leopardstown and Ascot last year but hasn't reached that level this season, while Migdam ran better than his finishing position would suggest at the Curragh on Sunday.
HANNIBAL BARCA is back over a much more suitable trip and on his peak form, his claims are fairly obvious on these terms. Migdam has yet to find his feet for this yard but it's still early days and he's feared most.
Joseph O'Brien's HANNIBAL BARCA is the best horse in the race but has something to prove after failing to live up to high expectations

1st (7) (18/1 +10%) Norvics Reflection |
18/1(+10%) | (7) Norvics Reflection 18/1, Best effort over hurdles came when third of 4 in novice at Market Rasen (20.6f) in April 2021 but not seen since and likely best watched here. Not beaten far when third of four on latest outing, but that was back in April 2021. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.75/1 -57%) Bumble Bee Bet |
2.75/1(-57%) | (1) Bumble Bee Bet 2.75/1, Won on NH debut in bumper at Ayr in April and looks to be being brought along gradually in this sphere, latest when eighth of 14 in novice at Sligo (20.6f, good to soft, 9/1) 21 days ago. Interesting contender. Well beaten in both hurdles last month but this bumper winner is not written off just yet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (50/1 +50%) Emotional Memories |
50/1(+50%) | (4) Emotional Memories 50/1, Offered little in a trio of starts over hurdles, beginning to struggle when coming down in Ludlow novice when last seen in February. Didn't show much on his two hurdling starts in 2022; off since a fall in February. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4.5/1 +18%) Climbing |
4.5/1(+18%) | (3) Climbing 4.5/1, Made an encouraging start in this sphere when second at Stratford (16.3f) in July. Wasn't in same form at Newton Abbot (18.5f) latest but warrants respect nonetheless. Below form after racing too freely last time but was good second on hurdling debut in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 +33%) Carpe Diem |
12/1(+33%) | (2) Carpe Diem 12/1, Showed more than on debut over timber when third of 8 in novice 12/1) at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 20 days ago, running on late. Claims if building on that. Improved form when third at Fontwell (2m1f) last month; may do better again over this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (7/1 +56%) Red River Valley |
7/1(+56%) | (8) Red River Valley 7/1, Winner in Irish points back in 2021 and showed ability, after 17 months off, when fifth of 10 in novice at Worcester (23f, good to soft) on hurdles debut 22 days ago. Likely capable of better and can't be ruled out. Just a modest fifth on recent hurdling debut but that run came after a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (2/1 +43%) Shandancer |
2/1(+43%) | (10) Shandancer 2/1, Consistent performer who posted another creditable effort when third of 10 in novice hurdle at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces back on. Likely to be in mix again. Exposed after ten hurdle runs but consistent this season; probably in the shake-up again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (33/1 +34%) Flying Standard |
33/1(+34%) | (5) Flying Standard 33/1, Fair handicapper on Flat who showed aptitude for hurdling when sixth in maiden at Worcester in July. However, has plenty to prove after a poor effort at Bangor last time. Tongue strap on first time. Not disgraced on stable/hurdle debut in July but last month's run was a backward step. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (12/1 +25%) Indian Sunbird |
12/1(+25%) | (6) Indian Sunbird 12/1, Fair form at best when placed twice in bumpers but hasn't run to same level over hurdles, albeit he was yet to be asked for effort when falling 3 out at Market Rasen last month. Percentage call is to look elsewhere. In contention before falling on recent handicap debut and has each-way claims here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This can go the way of SHANDANCER, who may be a maiden after 18 starts but he ran well over this distance on his penultimate start at Worcester. His consistency can finally be rewarded at the main expense of Seinesational, who arrives with similar claims, having made the frame in three of his last five outings. Irish raider Bumble Bee Bet and the unexposed Climbing are expected to be thereabouts as well.
Irish raider BUMBLE BEE BET has shown enough to make him a player on form and, with the prospect of better to come yet, he makes most appeal. Shandancer and Seinesational look the likeliest dangers.
Preference is for SHANDANCER who is not always a fluent hurdler, but has been pretty consistent this season.

1st (5) (3.33/1 +26%) Fratas |
3.33/1(+26%) | (5) Fratas 3.33/1, Three wins from 10 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (7/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 20 days ago, well positioned. Significantly back up in trip and she has to be feared in her hat-trick bid. Had the run of things last time at Leopardstown but an improving filly; trip a question. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.5/1 +33%) Royal Eagle |
1.5/1(+33%) | (1) Royal Eagle 1.5/1, 2/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at this course (16f, good) 27 days ago. C&D winner on latest outing in this sphere, too, and she's high on the shortlist. C&D winner last year and returns on the back of some good runs over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Rockview Consort |
3.5/1(+0%) | (2) Rockview Consort 3.5/1, 11/4, creditable second of 10 in minor event hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 14 days ago. Winner of a Dundalk maiden on latest Flat start in February and she's a big player on this handicap debut. Developing into a solid dual-purpose performer and likely to give her running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/1 +36%) Fools Glory |
7/1(+36%) | (4) Fools Glory 7/1, Creditable ninth of 19 in handicap (18/1) at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Unless the first-time cheekpieces spark a little improvement, she may again find one or two too good. Respectable of late in defeat and tries a new trip in different headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (6/1 +14%) Delicate Girl |
6/1(+14%) | (3) Delicate Girl 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 12 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.1f, good, 10/3) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time for this handicap debut and needs to raise her game. 0-4 but looks on a reasonable mark for handicap debut and tries cheekpieces. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ROYAL EAGLE gets the nod in this good quality contest. A model of consistency and a dual course winner, she reverts to the level for the first time in over a year. Jake Coen takes the ride on the Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old, who will have to defy top-weight in against six younger rivals. Fratas and Delicate Girl are the highest rated runners in the line-up, with the former given second preference. Bidding to complete a hat-trick, the Michael Mulvany-trained chestnut is sure to have plenty of supporters with Jamie Powell aboard. Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, it'll come as no surprise if Delicate Girl manages to make the breakthrough on her handicap debut, while Rockview Consort and Timeless Piece are other leading hopes.
The vote goes to ROYAL EAGLE, who landed a C&D handicap on her latest start in this sphere in August 2022 and made it 2-2 here when scoring over hurdles last month. Rockview Consort also scored over hurdles at this course last month and followed that with a solid effort in defeat at Bellewstown. She is feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Fratas.

1st (3) (0.36/1 +32%) Manxman |
0.36/1(+32%) | (3) Manxman 0.36/1, Made it 3-4 in handicaps when an emphatic winner at Salisbury (1¾m) 5 weeks ago. Very much unexposed as a stayer and a further 7 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him against older rivals. 3-3 in turf handicaps and acts on any ground; 7lb higher, but should be hard to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7.5/1 +6%) Aighear |
7.5/1(+6%) | (5) Aighear 7.5/1, Runner-up twice last month and probably not ideally suited by the drop back to 11f when only 6 lengths fourth here last time. This sort of test should see her in a better light. 1lb below last winning mark; soft ground wouldn't be a concern and could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (28/1 -27%) Yasmin From York |
28/1(-27%) | (4) Yasmin From York 28/1, Successful twice over 2m at Catterick in the first half of 2022. Not seen again until finishing down the field in 2 outings last month. Could be building up her fitness but need to see more before lending support. 4l behind Spantik at Ripon last time and 4lb better off; faster ground suits her best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (8.5/1 +0%) Hellenista |
8.5/1(+0%) | (2) Hellenista 8.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable second of 5 in handicap at Beverley (2m, soft) 17 days ago. Losing run up to 13 and best form has come on good and faster ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7.5/1 -67%) Spantik |
7.5/1(-67%) | (1) Spantik 7.5/1, Snapped a losing run in a 9-runner handicap at Ripon (2m, good, 7/2) 15 days ago. Tudhope takes the ride again and he should be competitive after a further 2 lb nudge. Ended a losing run at Ripon last time; respected, especially if allowed his own way again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MANXMAN has shown massively improved for since being stepped up in trip with three wins from his last four starts, two of them under Robert Havlin, who rides again now. With stamina and going both seemingly positives, the Cracksman gelding could be the one to beat. Spantik seems the likeliest to take them along from the start after winning at Ripon using those tactics and won't be easy to pass if he gets to set the fractions, while Hellenista seems a little one-paced and may have to settle for third.
MANXMAN stands out as a 3-y-o heading in the right direction in this line-up and looks good for a fourth win in his last 5 starts. Recent Ripon scorer Spantik can follow him home.
It's hard to get away from the 3yo MANXMAN despite another 7lb rise. He acts on any ground and there is probably still more to come.

1st (6) (3.5/1 +0%) Sparked |
3.5/1(+0%) | (6) Sparked 3.5/1, Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap (15/2) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's interesting from this mark. Has a patchy profile and not been that threatening the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2/1 +43%) Under Curfew |
2/1(+43%) | (1) Under Curfew 2/1, C&D winner. Thirty runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 4 days ago. Clearly needs everything to fall right. Stuck on a losing run but has run several good races in defeat this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (4/1 +20%) Coronation Cottage |
4/1(+20%) | (8) Coronation Cottage 4/1, Three-time C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner minor event at this C&D (good, 11/2) 13 days ago, driven out. One to consider back in a handicap now she's back in good order. Up 6lb for winning a classified race but can go well again if in similar form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 -60%) Exorbitant |
4/1(-60%) | (4) Exorbitant 4/1, Unlucky not to finish closer third of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago, slowly away and hampered. Makes turf debut and there may well be a bigger effort in him. Questionable whether he's quick enough for 5f but comes here after a good run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/1 -8%) Nordic Glory |
7/1(-8%) | (5) Nordic Glory 7/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 14/1) 14 days ago. All wins on the AW and his last three runs haven't been his best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (22/1 +12%) Red Alert |
22/1(+12%) | (7) Red Alert 22/1, Four-time course winner. Latest win at Brighton in June. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 50/1) 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Twice a winner in June but his form has taken a turn for the worse since then. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
It might have been a while since UNDER CURFEW last tasted success, but Tony Carroll's gelding has proved himself to be consistent at a similar level in recent starts. A few of these arrive with something to prove, and he could finally cash in on a sliding handicap mark. Coronation Cottage landed classified stakes honours over track and trip last time and she remains fairly treated returned to handicaps. Exorbitant is relatively unexposed and could improve for the switch to turf.
It's yet to fully click for EXORBITANT but time is on his side and representing a successful yard, he can build on the promise of his Kempton run. Sparked is partnered by an excellent-value claimer and that makes him of interest, along with Coronation Cottage.

33/1(-175%) | (4) Casheldale Lad 33/1, Raven's Pass gelding. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Liffeydale Dreamer. Dam lightly raced. Wears hood. Raven's Pass gelding hooded for debut and probably best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +0%) Vera's Secret |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Vera's Secret 4/1, Epaulette filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Brains and 1m winner Pure Action. Market best guide on belated debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5.5/1 +39%) City Exile |
5.5/1(+39%) | (5) City Exile 5.5/1, Fairly useful gelding. 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 on handicap debut at Leopardstown (8f, good) just less than 3 months ago. Promising handicap debut last time; trip could suit although draw a possible negative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (40/1 -21%) Rapid City |
40/1(-21%) | (1) Rapid City 40/1, Twice-raced colt. 50/1, showed more than first time up when fourth of 15 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f, good) 15 days ago. Bellewstown promise depite not handling track; likely has more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (5.5/1 -10%) Guided |
5.5/1(-10%) | (11) Guided 5.5/1, 12/1, matched previous form but left the impression she still has more to offer when fourth of 9 on handicap debut at Galway (8.3f, soft) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Surprising if she played a major role unless cheekpieces bring about improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (33/1 +50%) Gentle Breath |
33/1(+50%) | (10) Gentle Breath 33/1, 66/1, twelfth of 16 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) on debut, slowly away. Off 12 months. Significantly up in trip. Never counted on Naas debut a year ago; best watched on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (4/1 -14%) Ultra Fine |
4/1(-14%) | (9) Ultra Fine 4/1, Promising individual. 10/3, wasn't seen to best effect and still looked very rough around the edges when fifth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good) 31 days ago. Visor on 1st time. One to consider. Touched off at Killarney but Curragh run a backward step; visor fitted and dropped in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (5/1 -43%) Nakassama |
5/1(-43%) | (7) Nakassama 5/1, Promising individual. 14/1, first run since leaving J. F. Levins when second of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (10.3f, good to soft) 47 days ago, just failing. Open to further improvement, so holds leading claims. Runner-up both starts at 1m2f; drop in trip may not be ideal but major contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (150/1 -127%) Keilah |
150/1(-127%) | (12) Keilah 150/1, Harzand filly. Half-sister to winner abroad by No Nay Never. Dam runner-up at 10.5f in France. Unlikely type to make an immediate impact. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (12/1 +52%) Time To Soar |
12/1(+52%) | (14) Time To Soar 12/1, Lightly-raced filly. Wasn't in the same form as previously when seventh of 8 in maiden (9/2) at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 6 days ago, slowly away. Disappointed at Clonmel last week but previous Gowran run would put her in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (5/1 -43%) Jack Red Cloud |
5/1(-43%) | (6) Jack Red Cloud 5/1, Showed plenty to work on amidst obvious signs of greenness when fourth of 11 in maiden (16/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) on debut 20 days ago, nearest finish. Should improve. Definite debut promise last month; more expected of and could improve enough to feature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (28/1 +44%) Party Dress |
28/1(+44%) | (13) Party Dress 28/1, €18,000 yearling, Mastercraftsman filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful German/Italian winner up to 1m Exclusive Potion and 1m-9.4f winner You Owe Me Money. Mastercraftsman filly cost 18,000Euros as a yearling; newcomer worth a market watch. |

150/1(+0%) | (8) Proleek Prince 150/1, Palavicini gelding. Dam unraced out of 1¼m-1½m winner (stayed 2m) The Last Alzao. Newcomer of little appeal on breeding. |

14th (2) (200/1 -203%) Sweet Liberty |
200/1(-203%) | (2) Sweet Liberty 200/1, No show in a pair of bumpers, pulled up at Bellewstown (17.2f, good, 66/1) 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on for this Flat debut and can only be watched. Couple of poor runs in Bellewstown bumpers; cheekpieces fitted for flat debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
JACK RED CLOUD made a promising debut over a mile at Leopardstown last month and perhaps can improve enough to open his account here. The selection is by Sioux Nation but there is plenty of stamina on the dam side of the pedigree and he came home well into fourth behind Pivotal Revive. Ultra Fine went close over 1m3f at Killarney and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages at the Curragh last time, while Nakassama was claimed after going close on debut and was again just denied over 1m2f in a Down Royal maiden. Guided also looks well capable of success judged on four outings and is now fitted with cheek pieces, while City Exile and Time To Soar are others to consider in what looks a competitive maiden.
NAKASSAMA has filled the runner-up spot by narrow margins on both outings so far and with further improvement on the cards, James McAuley's 3-y-o is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Ultra Fine, who still looked very rough around the edges at the Curragh last month and remains capable of better. Guided and City Exile can fight out minor honours.
Having shaped nicely under a considerate ride on his debut last month JACK RED CLOUD gets a tentative vote in an ordinary maiden

1st (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Creative Control |
4.5/1(+25%) | (6) Creative Control 4.5/1, Chase winner last season. Out of sorts in the spring but took a step back in the right direction after a wind op when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Much respected back over fences. Made low-key reappearance over hurdles last month but switches back to fences on good mark. |

2nd (3) (11/1 -10%) Inishbiggle |
11/1(-10%) | (3) Inishbiggle 11/1, Emphatic winner of 19.3f Catterick handicap hurdle in February 2022. Failed to convince as a chaser so far though and pulled up on the back of breathing surgery at Stratford last time. Cheekpieces are reached for now. Has completed only one of his four chases this year and has a lot more to prove than some. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (3/1 +14%) Trapista |
3/1(+14%) | (4) Trapista 3/1, Winning hurdler who is proving expensive to follow in this sphere but she was a creditable second in a first-time visor at Stratford (17f, good) 20 days ago. Can give another good account off a 2 lb lower mark. No match for comfortable winner when second last time and now 0-8 over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (7/1 +36%) Friary Rock |
7/1(+36%) | (7) Friary Rock 7/1, Made a winning return at Perth (2m4f) in May and not discredited after a 9-week break when fading third of 7 in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good) 20 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Can take a step forward. Won off this mark in May and latest run was better than 24l defeat might suggest. |

5th (1) (3.5/1 -56%) Fat Sam |
3.5/1(-56%) | (1) Fat Sam 3.5/1, Fell eighth in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good) 44 days ago. Sort to bounce back so he's a player off a handy-looking mark. Good second at Newton Abbot in July and still on a good mark but recent rain a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (9/1 +50%) Mrs Kinsella |
9/1(+50%) | (8) Mrs Kinsella 9/1, Placed 3 times since April, most recently when good third of 10 to Fabreze in handicap hurdle here (19.9f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Much respected now going over fences despite being 7 lb out of the handicap. Placed over hurdles here in June but moves up from Class 5 for today's chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (5.5/1 -38%) Getaway Luv |
5.5/1(-38%) | (2) Getaway Luv 5.5/1, Scored at Cartmel in July but saw his run of good form halted when only fourth of 6 in handicap chase here (16f, good) 14 days ago. Back up in trip now and still enters calculations. Not at best here a fortnight ago but in good form beforehand and won't mind if it rains. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
As long as his jumping is on point, FAT SAM should be well capable of landing this prize based on the form he showed when second on his penultimate start at Newton Abbot. The nine-year-old has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark and he is fancied to see off Getaway Luv, who is worth another go at this sort of trip after disappointing here over 2m. Friary Rock and Trapista are capable of being in the shake-up too.
FAT SAM figures on a good mark so is well worth siding with to bounce back in style from his Newton Abbot exit. Getaway Luv could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, returning to form after a rare blip here last month, although both Trapista and Creative Control could have a say too in an open handicap.
Four-time chase winner GETAWAY LUV gets the nod in the hope he can bounce back quickly from a below-par run here a fortnight ago.

1st (3) (2.25/1 +44%) Out On Friday |
2.25/1(+44%) | (3) Out On Friday 2.25/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. 8/1, respectable fourth of 16 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Engaged 4.55 Galway Tuesday. Bang in form prior to latest Naas run when this front-runner went off too hot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (2.25/1 +44%) Beautiful Chaos |
2.25/1(+44%) | (6) Beautiful Chaos 2.25/1, Posted season's best when close second of 16 in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft) 13 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and should go well again. Finished well for second at Navan last time but this is a stronger contest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (50/1 -52%) Influential Lady |
50/1(-52%) | (7) Influential Lady 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 22f in chases. 33/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Clonmel (16.6f, good) 6 days ago. Back down in trip. Faces a stiff task. Hurdle/chase winner who doesn't look as effective on the Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (14/1 -40%) Inchiquin Star |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Inchiquin Star 14/1, Won 12-runner handicap hurdle (9/1) at this course (16f, heavy) 26 days ago, pushed out. Fairly useful on Flat, below for on last Flat outing. 0-14 on the Flat; finally off the mark in a Tramore handicap hurdle last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5.5/1 -100%) Galileo's Compass |
5.5/1(-100%) | (5) Galileo's Compass 5.5/1, Put poor previous run behind him when very good third of 9 on handicap debut at Naas (10.5f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Yard having good spell. Another bold show likely. Closing third at Naas on handicap debut and ready for this stiffer stamina test. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (10/1 +29%) Weddell Sea |
10/1(+29%) | (2) Weddell Sea 10/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Third of 8 in novice chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, good, 12/1) on debut over fences 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Work to do back on level. In form over jumps this year and placed a few times on the Flat when trained in France. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (4/1 -60%) Immelmann |
4/1(-60%) | (1) Immelmann 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Simon & Ed Crisford when respectable sixth in handicap at the Curragh (16f) in July. Excuses at Galway since and must enter calculations. Encouraging stable debut and there were excuses when running no race at Galway. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
GALILEO'S COMPASS might be able to get the better of his older rivals. A brother to Group 2 winner Changingoftheguard, the Jessica Harrington-trained selection has been placed twice from four starts. He kept on well when third on his most recent outing at Naas and going back up in trip to a mile-and-a-half here should prove ideal. Also on a mark of 77, Immelmann is given second preference with Michael O'Sullivan aboard. While a solid sixth on his debut for Willie Mullins at the Curragh in July, he since disappointed at Galway, but later coughed upon veterinary examination. A winner over flights here at the August Festival, it'll be interesting to see how Inchiquin Star fares, with Alan Persse claiming a valuable 7lb. Beaten by just a neck at Navan recently, Beautiful Chaos should give a good account of herself.
This can go to GALILEO'S COMPASS, who got back on track when third at Naas last month and remains low mileage. Beautiful Chaos and Immelmann rate the principal dangers.
Galileo's Compass is interesting but another chance is given to IMMELMANN who had excuses at Galway.

1st (6) (3/1 +33%) Hostelry |
3/1(+33%) | (6) Hostelry 3/1, Course winner. Consistent performer and ran up to best when winning 12-runner handicap (5/2) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago, responding well. Respected. Not the most prolific, but consistent; acts on any ground and likely to give her running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (3.33/1 +52%) Darbucks |
3.33/1(+52%) | (8) Darbucks 3.33/1, Course winner. Still looking for a first win of the year but in the frame last 3 starts, fourth of 15 in handicap (8/1) at Catterick (7f, good) 23 days ago. Can give another good account. Running with credit of late, but needs a bit more if he is to get his head back in front. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (12/1 -9%) Sezaam |
12/1(-9%) | (5) Sezaam 12/1, Unable to build on promise of reappearance run when ninth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy, 8/1) in May, left with a lot to do. Lurks on a dangerous mark, but has been off for 4 months since last time. Lightly raced in the last two years and enough to prove after another absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (50/1 -150%) Carlton |
50/1(-150%) | (7) Carlton 50/1, Hasn't gone on from his debut (trained by John & Thady Gosden first 3 starts), faring no better dropped in trip when sixth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, good to soft, 66/1) 12 days ago. Made a promising debut at Doncaster in April, but has regressed since; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 +29%) Do I Dream |
5/1(+29%) | (2) Do I Dream 5/1, Latest win at Pontefract in April. However, below her best last 2 starts, fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft, 10/1) 19 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Found 1m1f too far last time; this should be more suitable, especially on a soft surface. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (12/1 +25%) Makalu |
12/1(+25%) | (9) Makalu 12/1, Course winner. Latest success at Redcar in May. 15/2, below form when tenth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) 2 weeks ago, though raced wide. Could fare better having dropped further in the weights. 4lb below last winning mark, but poor efforts on his last two starts raise doubts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (4.5/1 +50%) Temper Trap |
4.5/1(+50%) | (1) Temper Trap 4.5/1, C&D winner. Completed hat-trick this summer and ran well when fourth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D (good) 12 days ago, despite the race not being run to suit. Merits consideration. Completed a hat-trick in the summer; return to soft ground would make him interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (7/1 +42%) Ratafia |
7/1(+42%) | (10) Ratafia 7/1, Matched his best form this season when third of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 39 days ago. Again just out of the handicap, but he can give his running with cheekpieces back on. Twice in the frame in soft ground at Doncaster this year; not sure he can repeat it here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Jkr Cobbler arrives at the top of his game after completing an Ayr hat-trick, but a further 6lb rise is a slight concern. With that in mind, preference is for HOSTELRY, who was narrowly denied twice before returning to winning ways off just a 3lb lower mark at Chepstow a few weeks ago. Others to note are Temper Trap and Darbucks.
JKR COBBLER has been thriving of late, completing a hat-trick at Ayr with a comfortable success last month, and he can add to his tally in his current mood. Hostelry notched a second win of the year at Chepstow on her latest outing and is likely to be thereabouts once more, while Temper Trap also enters calculations.
This can go to TEMPER TRAP, who has winning form over C&D and was in cracking form on soft ground during the summer.

1st (1) (1.1/1 +41%) Buccabay |
1.1/1(+41%) | (1) Buccabay 1.1/1, Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good, 17/2) 11 days ago, never nearer. Should be better suited by this extended 5f and solid shortlist material. Ascot maiden winner; still to land a handicap but recent signs more encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5.5/1 +8%) Lady Dreamer |
5.5/1(+8%) | (4) Lady Dreamer 5.5/1, Winner at Windsor in July. Poor efforts last 2 starts, only eighth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) last week. Remains low mileage but bounce back is called for. Visor worked well initially but last couple of runs not quite so encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (18/1 -50%) My Delilah |
18/1(-50%) | (6) My Delilah 18/1, Course regular won over C&D in May but hasn't shown the same form in a pair of starts since, including when returned to this track (5f, good to soft, 7/1) last month. Went up 8lb for her clearcut win over C&D in May and found it tough going the next twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3.5/1 -40%) Heroism |
3.5/1(-40%) | (2) Heroism 3.5/1, Lightly-raced colt who produced his best effort when second at Windsor in July. Respectable effort when sixth in 13-runner event there (6f, good) 37 days ago and he can go well if able to cut out the slow starts. Softish ground an excuse last time and had appeared to be finding his level in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Straits Of Moyle |
4.5/1(+10%) | (5) Straits Of Moyle 4.5/1, Won on penultimate start at Yarmouth in August but was notably weak in the betting and ran badly when attempting to follow up at Newmarket (5f, good) 18 days ago. Still potentially well treated and interesting if market speaks more favourably this time. Recent Yarmouth winner but was entitled to run better next time at Newmarket. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HEROISM has been running well without winning this campaign, most recently when finishing a creditable sixth in a valuable sprint handicap at Windsor. The Invincible Spirit colt was eased 1lb in the ratings for his troubles, and a drop in class could see him back in the winning groove. Fellow class-dropper Buccabay ought to be in the thick of things, while Lady Dreamer is the most appealing of the remainder.
BUCCABAY has edged towards a workable-looking mark and Eve Johnson Houghton's gelding is fancied to gain his first win in handicap company, with the slightly longer trip appealing as a positive. Heroism is still relatively unexposed and can pose the biggest threat, with Straits of Moyle making most appeal of the remainder.

1st (6) (4.5/1 +44%) Star Galaxy |
4.5/1(+44%) | (6) Star Galaxy 4.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/10 and hooded for 1st time, third of 9 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good). Off 108 days. Interesting handicap debutant for top stable and she's open to improvement. Lightly raced unexposed filly making handicap debut; trip to suit and potential improver. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7.5/1 -50%) Angelic Appeal |
7.5/1(-50%) | (3) Angelic Appeal 7.5/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (8/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 31 days ago. Can go well again. Curragh handicap debut win working out well; up 7lb but quite likely has more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (20/1 -11%) Ma Belle Artiste |
20/1(-11%) | (2) Ma Belle Artiste 20/1, Latest win at Killarney in May. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good, 10/1) 31 days ago. Stable having good spell. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Struggled so far in handicaps; blinkers now tried and upped slightly in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (22/1 -10%) New Hill |
22/1(-10%) | (10) New Hill 22/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Not discounted. Some appeal of decling mark but wants it softer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (20/1 -186%) You Owe Me Money |
20/1(-186%) | (4) You Owe Me Money 20/1, 10/3, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Gowran (9.4f, soft), keeping on well. Off 4 months since and needs to be better than ever again. Absent since Gowran wins in May; ground on the quick side here so would welcome rain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (8/1 +43%) Machnamh |
8/1(+43%) | (13) Machnamh 8/1, Winner at the Curragh in July. 10/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) 31 days ago. Not ruled out. Best form is on softer ground over shorter; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (4.5/1 +25%) Celebrating Ethel |
4.5/1(+25%) | (7) Celebrating Ethel 4.5/1, Career best when winning 18-runner handicap (10/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 27 days ago. Going the right way and seems likely to feature again. Leopardstown winner 6lb higher so will need to step up again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (14/1 +50%) Independent Expert |
14/1(+50%) | (5) Independent Expert 14/1, Latest win at Limerick in June. 8/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 20 days ago. Vulnerable to less-exposed types. Consistent sort respected although this trip could stretch her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (4/1 -20%) Everylittlestep |
4/1(-20%) | (9) Everylittlestep 4/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Gowran in August. Creditable second of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 6/4) 24 days ago. Thriving at present and worth a chance to resume winning ways. Much improved mare denied four-timer at the Curragh; Keane back on, has to be respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (11/1 -38%) Encosta |
11/1(-38%) | (11) Encosta 11/1, 5/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Holding her form but others look better treated. Solid Leopardstown form of late; return to better ground should suit and one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (12/1 +40%) Hasten Slowly |
12/1(+40%) | (12) Hasten Slowly 12/1, Bit below form 4½ lengths seventh of 14 to Angelic Appeal in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good, 8/1) 31 days ago. Drop back in trip should benefit her. Didn't appear to stay 1m2f last time; intermediate trip okay and ground in her favour. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (20/1 -100%) Bambeano |
20/1(-100%) | (8) Bambeano 20/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 28/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Gowran (8f, soft) 46 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Independent Expert, slowly away. Could do better still, so merits respect. Gowran soft-ground winner; 8lb higher and quicker ground to contend with. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (16/1 +0%) Getawiggleon |
16/1(+0%) | (1) Getawiggleon 16/1, Latest win at Gowran in June. 80/1, 7½ lengths twelfth of 14 to Unless in listed race at the Curragh (10f, good) 31 days ago. Others have achieved more. Out of depth in Listed contests lately; 14lb higher on return to handicap company. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ANGELIC APPEAL scored on her first handicap start at the Curragh last month and the form of that 1m2f event has been well advertised since with the second and the fourth both winning handicaps next time out. The well-bred daughter of Siyouni can follow up off a 6lb higher mark. Everylittlestep completed a hat-trick this summer and, despite a combined 21lb hike for that run of success, went close last time in a 19-runner handicap at the Curragh. She's now reunited with champion jockey Colin Keane and is well suited by this trip. Bambeano provided Orla McKenna with her first winner when beating Independent Expert and Machnamh at Gowran Park while Star Galaxy has shown promise in three maiden starts and is an interesting contender on her handicap debut.
EVERYLITTLESTEP is thriving at the moment and, having travelled like the best horse at the weights when second at the Curragh last time, she's worth a chance to add a fourth success of the campaign. Angelic Appeal is an obvious danger on the back of a successful handicap bow at the Curragh and Star Galaxy is open to improvement.

1st (7) (3.33/1 -11%) Enthused |
3.33/1(-11%) | (7) Enthused 3.33/1, Consistent performer who got back to winning ways in a 10-runner C&D handicap 14 days ago. A 5 lb rise looks fair given he and the second pulled nicely clear of the rest. Another bold show likely. Progressive 6yo who was one of two to pull clear of the others over C&D a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (3.33/1 +5%) Simply Red |
3.33/1(+5%) | (6) Simply Red 3.33/1, Enhanced excellent Bangor record with 2 more wins there last month, the latter under today's pilot Charlie Maggs. Runner-up on her sole visit here. Likely to give another good account. Took form to new level with tongue-tie added last month, winning twice at Bangor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (5/1 +23%) Call Me Rocky |
5/1(+23%) | (8) Call Me Rocky 5/1, Failed to win over hurdles in Ireland but won his first 2 outings (maiden/handicap) for this yard in July. Bounced back quickly from a lesser run when fourth of 12 at Cartmel 18 days ago. Respected. In good form for new stable this summer, barring one excusable flop; probably in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 +50%) Glorious Zoff |
4/1(+50%) | (2) Glorious Zoff 4/1, Rejuvenated following a breathing operation, winning 2m Warwick handicap in May. Placed on his next 2 completed starts and possibly unsuited by testing ground when only sixth at Cartmel last time. Slightly disappointing last time but was placed off this mark in valuable Summer Hurdle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (6/1 +20%) Hurricane Ali |
6/1(+20%) | (3) Hurricane Ali 6/1, Genuine individual. Placed 3 times this season but latest Southwell fifth wasn't one of his better efforts. Seven hurdle wins; shade disappointing when favourite at Southwell on Thursday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (40/1 -150%) Rathmacknee |
40/1(-150%) | (4) Rathmacknee 40/1, Bit of a mixed record for Nicky Henderson last season, winning twice but also pulled up on 3 occasions. A watching brief is the percentage call on this first outing for a new stable. Very inconsistent for Nicky Henderson last season and hard to predict on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (7/1 -8%) Boom Boom Boom |
7/1(-8%) | (5) Boom Boom Boom 7/1, Dual Flat winner who has yet to taste success over hurdles but this shrewd Irish stable's British runners always need monitoring very closely in the betting. Towards rear throughout when 50-1 at Galway last month; market likely to guide here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A rise in class wasn't enough to stop SIMPLY RED from recording back-to-back successes at Bangor last time and Donald McCain's mare is fancied to defy a further 5lb hike to complete the hat-trick. Enthused has been largely consistent since the switch to hurdles and he looks the most likely threat, although Glorious Zoff represents the in-form Fergal O'Brien yard and must not be dismissed lightly.
ENTHUSED still looks fairly treated after a 5 lb rise for his C&D win a fortnight ago and is narrowly preferred to the hat-trick seeking Simply Red. Call Me Rocky has done well since joining Milton Harris and is another likely to be in the shake-up.
Recent C&D winner Enthused might still be improving but preference is for Summer Hurdle third GLORIOUS ZOFF.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (8/1 +43%) Ciao Adios |
8/1(+43%) | (8) Ciao Adios 8/1, First run since leaving Richard Hannon when thirteenth of 17 in handicap (25/1) at Cork (12f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Never dangerous on Irish debut at Cork (1m4f) when behind Say It So. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 +11%) Tastyee |
4/1(+11%) | (4) Tastyee 4/1, Winner at Tipperary in May. Run of good form came to a halt at Clonmel last week but she's capable of bouncing back. 1m1f too sharp last time and had been running well in 1m3f/1m4f handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (8/1 +43%) Contrapposto |
8/1(+43%) | (9) Contrapposto 8/1, One win from 45 Flat runs. Forty two runs since last win in 2016. 16/1, respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Visor back on. Poor strike-rate of 2-55 but was runner-up at Sligo (1m5f, soft) in August. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/1 -57%) Tasayad |
11/1(-57%) | (3) Tasayad 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable ninth of 18 in handicap (12/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago, never nearer. Outpaced before keeping on to finish a near 5l ninth on his handicap debut at Navan (1m2f). |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (7/1 +22%) Say It So |
7/1(+22%) | (7) Say It So 7/1, Good third of 17 in handicap (50/1) at Cork (12f, good to soft) 14 days ago, keeping on well. Struggling over hurdles before finishing a 50-1 third back on the Flat at Cork (1m4f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (40/1 +39%) Destivelle |
40/1(+39%) | (10) Destivelle 40/1, 66/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 32 days ago, left with lot to do. Significantly back up in trip. Poor on last Flat run. Finished third in a low-grade handicap hurdle last time; never placed on the Flat. |

9th (5) (7/1 +42%) Maura's Gift |
7/1(+42%) | (5) Maura's Gift 7/1, Creditable ninth of 16 in handicap (9/1) at Navan (14f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Only midfield in 1m2f/1m6f handicaps at Navan since returning from a break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
After making all at Down Royal on Friday, Hidden Land is now rated above this grade and is the one to beat. However, she has a lot of weight to carry and turning out again quickly, it might be worth taking her on. While without a win in 13 starts, SAY IT SO ran his best race to date when third at Cork recently. The Raven's Pass gelding kept on well without matching the principals at the Mallow venue, and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. A close fourth at Navan recently, Dinamine is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Tastyee is another capable of making her presence felt. Others for the shortlist are Tasayad, who represents the in-form Darren Bunyan yard, Pro Bono and Contrapposto.
Although DINAMINE has yet to win he hasn't been with the John McConnell stable for long and his recent fourth in a big field at Navan suggests a first win may not be too far away. Tastyee may provide the chief threat ahead of Say It So and Friday's Down Royal winner Hidden Land.
This might set up nicely for TASTYEE, who had been in a run of good form until found out by a shorter trip at Clonmel.

0.8/1(-19%) | (6) Mubhijah 0.8/1, Fairly useful filly. 5/6, creditable second of 9 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 70 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Roger Varian. Sets the standard and should be able to open her account. Beaten half a length or less in five of her last seven starts; stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (2.75/1 +45%) Hills Of Gold |
2.75/1(+45%) | (3) Hills Of Gold 2.75/1, Fairly useful gelding. 11/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 58 days ago. Drop back in trip should suit on the back of a break, so likely to be on the premises. Placed in first three starts after reappearing, should appreciate return to this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 +17%) Bustaam |
5/1(+17%) | (1) Bustaam 5/1, Fair gelding. 24/10, fourth of 9 in maiden at Deauville (8f, good to soft). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving A. Fabre. May do better and market could guide. Fourth in one start for Andre Fabre last October; watch market on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/1 -120%) True Nation |
11/1(-120%) | (7) True Nation 11/1, Twice-raced filly. 10/1, second of 7 in minor event at Catterick (7f, good) 14 days ago. Needs more if she's to trouble a couple of these rivals. Improved from her debut when second at Catterick a fortnight ago; should play a part. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (125/1 -25%) Fletcher's Flight |
125/1(-25%) | (2) Fletcher's Flight 125/1, Once-raced gelding. 150/1, last of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) on debut 13 days ago. Hard to make a case for. A well beaten last on his Chelmsford debut 13 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (125/1 -279%) Dazamay |
125/1(-279%) | (4) Dazamay 125/1, Mayson filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 5f winner Dazacam and 6f/7f winner Dazeekha. Dam 1m winner. Yard not renowned for debut winners but worth a market check. Stable not known for winning newcomers so probably best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TRUE NATION took a big step forward when filling second place over 7f at Catterick a couple of weeks ago and Richard Fahey's filly could be hard to stop if finding further improvement here. Mubhijah is an obvious threat and is likely to go well, but she has hit the crossbar at short prices in four of her last five starts and that is a concern. Bustaam should not be underestimated on his debut for new connections.
MUBHIJAH has been narrowly denied in stronger races than this on her last three outings and, having joined a new stable, she's likely to belatedly open her account at the possible expense of Hills of Gold, who should be back on his game returned to a more suitable distance. Market support for Bustaam would be notable.
This can go to HILLS OF GOLD, who didn't stay 1m2f last time but whose narrow defeat here in May looks strong form.

1st (1) (2.5/1 +0%) Cherry Cola |
2.5/1(+0%) | (1) Cherry Cola 2.5/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in May. 10/1, good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago. Running consistently well at present and is likely to make her presence felt if the pace is sound. Mark looks about right but she should be involved in her current vein of form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (2.25/1 -88%) Club Manager |
2.25/1(-88%) | (6) Club Manager 2.25/1, Winner at Kempton in August. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 11/8) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has to be taken seriously. 1m4f AW winner who was found out by a steady pace the last time; can go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (8.5/1 -6%) Breccia |
8.5/1(-6%) | (4) Breccia 8.5/1, 20/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, heavy) 12 days ago, slowly away. Might sharpen up for that run and she's on a handy mark. Cheekpieces back on. Wolverhampton winner over 2m last August; hasn't offered much in the meantime. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 +38%) Smokey Malone |
4/1(+38%) | (2) Smokey Malone 4/1, 6/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (13f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Should give a good account in a less-competitive event. Trip winner on the AW earlier this year and has run a few good races in the meantime. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/1 +56%) Infiniti |
11/1(+56%) | (5) Infiniti 11/1, 22/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Given a chance by the handicapper. Has dropped to a good mark but this year has been disappointing thus far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 -18%) Duchess |
33/1(-18%) | (7) Duchess 33/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D (good) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal. 0-13; mostly well held since arriving from France and needs to raise her game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (6.5/1 +28%) Thahab Ifraj |
6.5/1(+28%) | (3) Thahab Ifraj 6.5/1, 28/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good) 20 days ago. Fair effort when third at Bath in July and not without hope if in the same form returned to this sphere. Moderate latest run over hurdles but went close over C&D the time before. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
CHERRY COLA was only narrowly denied over course and distance three weeks ago and that form gives the seven-year-old mare a big chance here, despite a 1lb rise in the ratings. Thahab Ifraj also made the frame at this venue on his most recent outing on the Flat and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Club Manager and Smokey Malone should not be discounted.
CLUB MANAGER opened his account at Kempton in August and wasn't seen to best effect at Chelmsford since, so he's worth a chance to resume winning ways at the likely expense of Cherry Cola, who arrives in good order. Smokey Malone is another one to consider.

1st (3) (2.25/1 +25%) Final Check |
2.25/1(+25%) | (3) Final Check 2.25/1, Winner at Killarney in July. 9/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 27 days ago. Well in the mix. Has slotted into handicaps effectively, good chance here with rider claiming a useful 7lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3.33/1 +33%) Alfalfa |
3.33/1(+33%) | (2) Alfalfa 3.33/1, 10/1, very good second of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago, faring best of those held up. Stable having good spell. Stepping back in the right direction. Player. Stable is in good form, leading contender on the basis of recent second of 17 at Navan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (6.5/1 -8%) Slieve Bearnagh |
6.5/1(-8%) | (8) Slieve Bearnagh 6.5/1, Landed 18-runner handicap (11/2) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Can go well again despite a 4 lb rise. Narrow winner of 1m2f apprentice handicap at Navan 11 days ago, fair chance off 4lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (28/1 -12%) Deuteronomy |
28/1(-12%) | (13) Deuteronomy 28/1, Blinkered for 1st time, creditable sixth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good, 25/1) 20 days ago, slowly away. One for the shortlist. No success in 14 outings, mild encouragement from sixth placing at Killarney last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (33/1 -65%) Leabaland |
33/1(-65%) | (5) Leabaland 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft, 14/1), downed tools. Off 146 days. Needs a couple of these to falter. Went close over 1m at Dundalk in March, soundly beaten in two turf starts in April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (16/1 +11%) Queen Mab |
16/1(+11%) | (10) Queen Mab 16/1, 9/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 29 days ago. Enters calculations if shrugging off latest effort. Third over 1m at Bellewstown in July, each-way chance if forgiven below-par Dundalk run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (18/1 -80%) Feature This |
18/1(-80%) | (7) Feature This 18/1, Latest win at Dundalk in April. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good, 7/1) 27 days ago so more is needed. Dual AW winner, limited experience on turf and needs to step up on recent performances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (18/1 -13%) Shawaf |
18/1(-13%) | (14) Shawaf 18/1, One win from 33 Flat runs. Twenty runs since last win in 2020. Tenth of 15 in handicap (8/1) at Bellewstown (7.8f, good) 15 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Overall record (1-36) is a significant negative, creditable fourth on penultimate start. |

9th (6) (7.5/1 +38%) Barretstown |
7.5/1(+38%) | (6) Barretstown 7.5/1, Respectable eighth of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft, 25/1) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Merits consideration. Dual AW winner yet to score on turf, runner-up three times last term, held by Alfalfa. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (50/1 -52%) Atlas |
50/1(-52%) | (12) Atlas 50/1, Thirty three runs since last win in 2020. Eleventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.5f, soft, 8/1) 46 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Retains some ability but three years and a few months now since the last of his four wins. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (10/1 -67%) Super Cub |
10/1(-67%) | (1) Super Cub 10/1, Respectable fifth of 18 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to soft, 13/2) 14 days ago. Up in trip and merits serious consideration with blinkers back on. Seldom runs a bad race but a record of one win from 29 starts is a source of major concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (33/1 -230%) Together Aclaim |
33/1(-230%) | (9) Together Aclaim 33/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 16/1, last of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good) 20 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Signs of winning potential on occasions but now a 23-race maiden, last of 15 on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (28/1 +15%) Brave Thought |
28/1(+15%) | (4) Brave Thought 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, below form fifth of 14 in maiden (16/1) at Dundalk (7f) 29 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Four runs of similar standard, probably needs to raise her game in order to win a handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (11) (18/1 +55%) Angel On Fire |
18/1(+55%) | (11) Angel On Fire 18/1, 25/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on for the 1st time with more required. Managed one good run at Down Royal last season, otherwise nothing of merit in his form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
FINAL CHECK appreciated the step up to a mile when scoring at Killarney in July and the John O'Donoghue-trained filly continues to progress with each outing. She beat all bar Kampala Beach over this trip at Leopardstown last time and Wesley Joyce now claims a valuable 7lb. She has more scope for improvement than Slieve Bearnagh who dropped down to a basement mark to record a third career win over 1m2f at Navan recently. Jack Kearney's 7lb claim more than compensates the rise incurred for that victory. Alfalfa hails from a yard in good form and went close in the other division of that aforementioned 1m2f Navan handicap. The lightly raced gelding obviously comes here in good form and can progress further.
Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and ALFALFA looks the way to go on the back of his very good recent Navan second. Super Cub rates a big threat now stepping up in trip, with Final Check and Slieve Bearnagh also firmly in the picture.

1st (7) (8.5/1 +47%) Talkingthetalk |
8.5/1(+47%) | (7) Talkingthetalk 8.5/1, Got off the mark over 20f here in June but quickly into her shell with a trio of heavy defeats since. Upped in trip. Beat three rivals here in June but the rest of her British form is very uninspiring. |

2nd (4) (3/1 +33%) Sinister Minister |
3/1(+33%) | (4) Sinister Minister 3/1, Has made a positive start to his chase career, placed for the fourth time in 5 starts, all at Worcester, 3 weeks ago. Must prove stamina for 3m. 0-16 under all codes but placed in two 2m4f Worcester chases in new blinkers last month. |

|U| (2) (1/1 +70%) Can't Beat History |
1/1(+70%) | (2) Can't Beat History 1/1, Runner-up in an Irish bumper last spring and also went close in a 19.5f Doncaster handicap hurdle in February. Made second chase start a winning one at Market Rasen last month, dominating a weak race. Up 7 lb but still demands consideration. Went clear on final circuit and won by 14l at Market Rasen last month; 7lb higher here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (3/1 +33%) Vokolohs |
3/1(+33%) | (1) Vokolohs 3/1, Runner-up on his sole start in points in 2021. Failed to make an impact in 3 starts over hurdles but he's in good hands and switches to a handicap on chase debut upped markedly in trip. Interesting runner fitted with headgear. Didn't show much over hurdles last year but his promising point debut in 2021 offers hope. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CAN'T BEAT HISTORY romped home at Market Rasen last month and a 7lb rise in unlikely to prevent Henry Oliver's unexposed chaser from following up. Sinister Minister continues to run well in defeat and must enter the reckoning. Talkingthetalk has failed to complete on her last two starts, but the addition of a first-time tongue-tie could spark a revival. Ya Know Yaseff would be a leading candidate if turned out quickly following Monday's Newton Abbot triumph.
It may pay to take a punt on VOKOLOHS, who showed little over hurdles but there are several different factors at play now handicapping over fences (runner-up in a point and also has headgear on upped in trip). Ya Know Yaseff is a massive danger if allowed to take her chance having won on Monday, with Can't Beat History also considered.
David Pipe's mare YA KNOW YASEFF is 2-2 in blinkers this month and, with only one penalty here, she might complete a quick hat-trick.

1st (5) (2/1 -6%) Uxmal |
2/1(-6%) | (5) Uxmal 2/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 12 in maiden (3/1) at Gowran (14f, good) 7 days ago. Trainer going well. Should go well again. Was 4th over C&D before runner-up at Gowran; cheekpieces worn then retained; solid. |

2nd (3) (1.75/1 +0%) Stoke The Fire |
1.75/1(+0%) | (3) Stoke The Fire 1.75/1, Fairly useful gelding. 5/4, very good second of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Solid efforts in defeat at Down Royal (1m5f) and Galway (1m4f); likely to stay this trip. |

3rd (1) (12/1 -9%) Bukhill |
12/1(-9%) | (1) Bukhill 12/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Bellewstown (20.4f, good) 14 days ago. Not a forlorn hope. Has been disappointing in handicap hurdles last twice; looks up against it here. |

4th (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Rotten Row |
5.5/1(+8%) | (2) Rotten Row 5.5/1, Fairly useful jumps winner. Second of 8 in handicap chase (9/4) at Kilbeggan (19f, good) 5 days ago. Notable newcomer to the Flat. Has won over hurdles and fences here; decent Kilbeggan run last time; be involved. |

5th (7) (150/1 +0%) Melrose Duchess |
150/1(+0%) | (7) Melrose Duchess 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, fourteenth of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 87 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hard to fancy. Beaten a long way in two 1m2f maidens and will have to improve significantly up in trip. |

6th (6) (150/1 -50%) Fulltime |
150/1(-50%) | (6) Fulltime 150/1, Once-raced gelding. 100/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Roscommon (11.6f, good to soft) on debut 9 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Beaten 29l on debut over 1m4f at Roscommon; best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (3.33/1 +17%) The Last Mardi |
3.33/1(+17%) | (4) The Last Mardi 3.33/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Fifth of 16 in maiden (15/2) at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Remains with potential in this sphere and longer trip should suit. A 125-rated hurdler has twice run well in a Galway 1m4f maiden; up in trip will help. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A strong case can be made for five of these, with Fulltime and Melrose Duchess out of their depth. Upped in trip to two-miles for the first time, STOKE THE FIRE might be able to make the breakthrough. A runner-up on recent starts at Down Royal and Galway respectively, the Vadamos bay certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. A solid fourth on his return to action over the course and distance in August, Uxmal is perhaps the biggest danger. Second to A Piece Of Heaven at Gowran last week, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. Rotten Row is turned out again quickly after finishing second over fences at Kilbeggan on Friday. A dual course winner, the Tony Mullins-trained six-year-old should give a good account of himself with Conor Clarke claiming a valuable 7lb. Bukhill and The Last Mardi complete the line-up and are both capable of making their presence felt.
STOKE THE FIRE shaped well in a competitive handicap at the Galway festival and promises to be well suited by this longer trip, so he's worth a chance to open his account at the possible expense of The Last Mardi, who remains with potential in this sphere. Uxmal is also worthy of respect.
A 125-rated hurdler, THE LAST MARDI (nap) has twice run with credit in the 1m4f Galway amateur maiden at the festival. He can take this

1st (4) (4.5/1 -35%) William Dewhirst |
4.5/1(-35%) | (4) William Dewhirst 4.5/1, Winner at Thirsk in May. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft, 13/2) 30 days ago, never nearer. Suspicion remains there's a bigger effort in him when things drop right, though slow starts and waiting tactics means luck is often required. Won Thirsk maiden in May and third the last twice; loves soft ground and 7f should suit. |

2nd (3) (12/1 +14%) Bicep |
12/1(+14%) | (3) Bicep 12/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in May but has struggled since, shaping as if amiss at Doncaster last time. Others preferred. Modest in last four starts and this looks a tough task against the 3yos. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (4/1 -78%) B Associates |
4/1(-78%) | (8) B Associates 4/1, Has proved a real money-spinner this year, producing a career best to notch his fifth win of the campaign in 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 13 days ago. The one to beat from 3 lb higher mark. Three of his five wins have come here, but testing ground would pose a question. |

4th (5) (4/1 +27%) Trabajo Detecho |
4/1(+27%) | (5) Trabajo Detecho 4/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 9/1, found run of good form coming to a halt when sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Player if able to bounce back, though it's possible busy campaign may have now caught up with him. Remains 5lb above his last winning mark and looks vulnerable to less exposed rivals. |

5th (7) (14/1 +0%) Alexa's Princess |
14/1(+0%) | (7) Alexa's Princess 14/1, Winner at Thirsk (7f) last August and posted best effort when third in a good Newmarket nursery (7f) a month later. May have found big effort then catching her out at Pontefract final start. Best watched on seasonal return. Off 11 months; market should reveal what is expected on this reappearance. |

6th (9) (9/1 +36%) Sunny Orange |

7th (10) (5/1 +55%) Tasever |
5/1(+55%) | (10) Tasever 5/1, In good heart in the spring but has found run of good form stalling on his last 2 outings, cheekpieces failing to spark a revival when ninth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Others preferred. In the frame in seven of his first eight starts, but moderate at Pontefract the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (6/1 -9%) Naval Academy |
6/1(-9%) | (2) Naval Academy 6/1, Latest win at Angers in May. After a sole start for Kevin Ryan, recaptured his French form when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (5.8f, good to firm) on his yard debut 21 days ago. Merits consideration. French winner who wasn't disgraced on stable debut here last time; not dismissed lightly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (40/1 +0%) Bossy Parker |
40/1(+0%) | (6) Bossy Parker 40/1, Fairly useful winner last season for John Patrick Murtagh but hasn't beaten a rival for present yard. Has failed to beat a rival in three starts since debuting for this yard in July. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
WILLIAM DEWHIRST has been running well in defeat of late and Ben Haslam's gelding gets the vote here with his sights slightly lowered. B Associates bounced back to form when scoring over C&D a couple of weeks ago and has to be of interest once again, while Trabajo Detecho edges out Naval Academy to be the pick of the remainder.
B ASSOCIATES bounced right back to his best after a slight lull to score over C&D 13 days ago and with useful claimer Mark Winn retaining the ride, he's fancied to gain his sixth success of a prolific campaign. Engelbert looked a real handicap plot in the winter and despite disappointing at Lingfield when last seen, he can't be dismissed on his return from a break, whilst Naval Academy bounced back to his fairly useful French form last time and is another who shouldn't be ruled out.
The choice is WILLIAM DEWHIRST (nap) who would be in his element if the ground is testing. He has shaped as though 7f will suit.

4.5/1(-13%) | (3) Ciotog 4.5/1, Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap (15/8) at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago, suited by way race developed. Should go well again. Up 3lb for win here but that was a comfortable success and he's still feasibly treated. |

2nd (5) (3/1 +0%) Gone |
3/1(+0%) | (5) Gone 3/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 13 runs this year. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 8 days ago. Very much one to consider. Mostly consistent filly who found only one too good the last time; difficult to knock. |

4th (11) (6.5/1 +7%) Wizarding |
6.5/1(+7%) | (11) Wizarding 6.5/1, 11/2, good third of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Leniently treated and seems to be building up to something, so well worth considering. Third from off the pace over 7f last week and won't mind this return to further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (7/1 +72%) Havana Goldrush |
7/1(+72%) | (10) Havana Goldrush 7/1, C&D winner. 9/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Now below last winning mark. Ran well on last visit here but below par since then and probably placed at best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 +14%) Poetic Force |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Poetic Force 12/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 16 runs this year. Good second of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Brighton (8f, good) 10 days ago, left with lot to do. Arrives in good order and remains well treated on past exploits. Second to an improving 3yo last time; off same mark and he's a course winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (8.5/1 -42%) My Ambition |
8.5/1(-42%) | (7) My Ambition 8.5/1, C&D winner. 9/2, respectable 3¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Ciotog in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago, slowly away. Warrants consideration. Conditions were perhaps on the slow side for him behind Ciotog here recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (6.5/1 +19%) Flatley |
6.5/1(+19%) | (1) Flatley 6.5/1, 20/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Step back in right direction and he's slipped to a potentially lenient mark. Sole win came on the AW off 4lb higher; he's not looking as effective on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (16/1 +0%) Rival |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Rival 16/1, 7/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 25 days ago. Had been in good form prior to that, so not completely dismissed. On too good a mark to rule out but others appeal more after latest effort here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (16/1 -60%) Art Of Romance |
16/1(-60%) | (9) Art Of Romance 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 18/1) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Debut promise; only ninth on handicap debut at Newbury but that was a Class 4. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (33/1 -32%) Dancinginthewoods |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Dancinginthewoods 33/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 12/1) 7 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Very hard to make a case for. All four wins have come at 6f/7f and he was well held over this far at Southwell last week. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Ciotog has to be respected following his win here last month but a 3lb rise will make things more difficult for him now. With that in mind, preference is for GONE, who was an impressive winner over course and distance in June and she is off the same mark as when a close second at Ripon eight days ago. Poetic Force is another with strong form claims, while Wizarding and My Ambition complete the shortlist.
GONE bounced back to form and was only denied by a progressive rival at Ripon 8 days ago so, if the race doesn't come too soon, he may be able to go one better. Wizarding is well treated and showing better signs, so he's regarded as a threat along with recent C&D scorer Ciotog.
This looks very open. GONE usually gives it her best shot and is taken to go one better than when second at Ripon recently.

1st (12) (2.5/1 +17%) Wrist Art |
2.5/1(+17%) | (12) Wrist Art 2.5/1, Hooded for 1st time, good third of 18 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 8/1) 49 days ago, having to pick way through. Stable having good spell. Should go well again. Comes into the reckoning on the basis of third of 18 at Naas in July, stable in form. |

2nd (10) (18/1 -50%) Qaabil |
18/1(-50%) | (10) Qaabil 18/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good) 20 days ago. Others have achieved more. Has won only once from 31 starts, best run this year when going close at Wolverhampton. |

4th (1) (5.5/1 +21%) Mads Black Eights |
5.5/1(+21%) | (1) Mads Black Eights 5.5/1, 28/1, good eighth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Holding form well of late, so can't be discounted. Enjoyed a good spell of form at Dundalk in 2022, not at best since second there in January. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (3.5/1 +0%) Pollanassa |
3.5/1(+0%) | (9) Pollanassa 3.5/1, 17/2, first run since leaving Kevin Thomas Coleman when fifth of 18 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago, running on. Well treated if he can build on that, so worth chancing. Made a bright start for this yard when fifth of 18 at Navan, capable of getting involved. |

6th (14) (6/1 +45%) Snowdonia Song |
6/1(+45%) | (14) Snowdonia Song 6/1, 12/1, bit below form fifteenth of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 31 days ago. Up in trip. Not firing at the moment. Managed three respectable runs earlier in the season, needs to step up on more recent form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (14/1 +0%) Zero Fighter |
14/1(+0%) | (4) Zero Fighter 14/1, Winner at Roscommon in May. 12/1, eleventh of 12 in claimer at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 27 days ago. Back up in trip. Not firing at present, so others make more appeal. Won a claimer at Roscommon in May, questions to answer after his two most recent starts. |

8th (5) (66/1 -230%) Samantha Maguire |
66/1(-230%) | (5) Samantha Maguire 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form sixth of 16 in nursery (14/1) at Galway (7f, heavy). Off 10 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving W. McCreery. Not a bad run on her only nursery start last year, off for ten months, has changed stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (33/1 -32%) Sagittarius Rising |
33/1(-32%) | (11) Sagittarius Rising 33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2020. 20/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Most recent of his three wins was in November 2020, in rear on belated seasonal debut. |

10th (7) (20/1 +39%) Fascinating Secret |
20/1(+39%) | (7) Fascinating Secret 20/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Has done little enough racing for a mare of her age, has failed to reach the first six. |

11th (2) (18/1 -100%) Nyota |
18/1(-100%) | (2) Nyota 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, sixteenth of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 31 days ago. Up in trip. Might strip fitter for that return and cheekpieces go on for the first time. Found 7f too sharp on her seasonal debut, fair chance on last season's best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (20/1 -25%) Believe Me Now |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Believe Me Now 20/1, Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft, 12/1) 10 days ago. Struggling for form at present. Modest form so far, has a bit to find with Miss Langmore on recent Tipperary running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (25/1 -108%) Miss Langmore |
25/1(-108%) | (13) Miss Langmore 25/1, Good fourth of 14 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft, 33/1) 10 days ago, never nearer. On a handy mark and could get involved if things drop right. Second in a claimer in May, best handicap run so far when fourth at Tipperary ten days ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
POLLANASSA made a promising start for Kevin Coleman last year including over this C&D but struggled after getting an initial handicap mark of 72. That rating has now dropped below 50 and he showed definite spark on a first start for Ray Cody. He didn't enjoy the clearest of passages but was still only beaten about two lengths behind Slieve Bearnagh at Navan and Jack Kearney claims a valuable 7lb. Wrist Art appeared to find this trip a shade too far at Leopardstown but did finish well after meeting some trouble in running when third to Asisaid over a mile at Naas last time and also has a capable 7lb claimer booked. Miss Langmore merits respect following her third over this trip at Tipperary while Nyota should progress from her reappearance at the Curragh last month.
POLLANASSA is on an appealing mark and made a positive start for his new yard when fifth at Navan 11 days ago, so he's worth taking a chance on in a race where the majority are struggling for form. Wrist Art shaped quite well when third at Naas last time, so he's considered a threat along with Miss Langmore.

1st (10) (28/1 +15%) Wot You Wearing |
28/1(+15%) | (10) Wot You Wearing 28/1, Fair in bumpers but has performed well below that standard so far over hurdles. Upped markedly in trip for handicap debut after a break, so no surprise if he shows more. Safely held on all three hurdling starts but this step up in trip may enable improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +38%) Jack The Farmer |
4/1(+38%) | (3) Jack The Farmer 4/1, Finally got off the mark with a ready success at Worcester (23f) in July and has remained in good form since. Should give another good showing. Very consistent this season and suited by this C&D; likely to make his presence felt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (20/1 +39%) Mactavish |
20/1(+39%) | (11) Mactavish 20/1, Remains a maiden and has offered little this season, leaving David Thompson prior to latest outing. Plenty to prove. 0-10 over hurdles but recent stable debut (2m) was encouraging; tries new trip here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (18/1 -13%) Stiletto |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Stiletto 18/1, Modest on the Flat (down the field at Bath recently) who has shown some aptitude for hurdling. Has some potential but stamina not a given by any means. Fair Flat stayer; respectable fourth over 2m4f on handicap hurdle debut; up in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (50/1 +0%) Begoodtoyourself |
50/1(+0%) | (13) Begoodtoyourself 50/1, Limited hurdler/chaser who ran poorly over the smaller obstacles at Southwell last time. Hard to make a strong case for. Ran okay when back over hurdles two starts ago but still makes only limited appeal here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (28/1 -75%) Deer Hunter |
28/1(-75%) | (9) Deer Hunter 28/1, Poor maiden hurdler who was only sixth at Worcester 70 days ago. Others preferred. Ran okay over 2m4f last time and this longer trip suits but others look stronger. |

7th (8) (1/1 +9%) Horizon D'Or |
1/1(+9%) | (8) Horizon D'Or 1/1, Unexposed and has upped his game since joining this stable, scoring comfortably in a 6-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell recently. Up 10 lb for that but still looks leniently treated. Improved performer for new stable in recent weeks; respected in bid for quick double. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (11/1 +31%) Lighthouse Mill |
11/1(+31%) | (1) Lighthouse Mill 11/1, Has been thriving this spring/summer, scoring over 2¾m at Stratford in June and hitting the crossbar on his next 2 starts. Good run of form came to an abrupt halt at Worcester recently but capable of bouncing back. Largely in good form this summer but needs to bounce back from a duff effort two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (14/1 -75%) Sunshine Girl |
14/1(-75%) | (4) Sunshine Girl 14/1, Upped further in trip, showed improved form when getting off the mark in mares' handicap at Southwell (24.3f) in July. Subsequently left Stuart Crawford and has shaped better than the result on both starts for current yard. Not discounted. Won for an Irish stable in July and also ran well when third at Cartmel last month; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (7.5/1 -36%) Eaton Lady |
7.5/1(-36%) | (6) Eaton Lady 7.5/1, C&D winner in May and backed it up with a good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good) 70 days ago. Needs considering back from a break. Backed up her narrow C&D win in May with close second at Worcester in July; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (66/1 -32%) Dynali |
66/1(-32%) | (12) Dynali 66/1, Modest maiden who has shaped with limited encouragement for current stable. Ran quite well two starts ago but is 0-16 over hurdles; not the most obvious answer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (25/1 -39%) You Say Its Over |
25/1(-39%) | (7) You Say Its Over 25/1, Showed more than previously upped in trip when at Cartmel in June but has failed to build on it since. Unexposed after only four hurdle starts but weakened into sixth on recent handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (125/1 -279%) Franz Klammer |
125/1(-279%) | (2) Franz Klammer 125/1, Fair chaser who scored 3 times over fences in 2021. However, not so good over the smaller obstacles and returned from a lengthy absence with a tame display at Stratford 20 days ago. Triple chase winner in 2021 but lightly raced since and has a lot to prove at present. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Horizon D'or was able to take advantage of a lenient mark when pulling clear of his rivals at Fontwell and he's respected, despite a 10lb higher rating. Stiletto was sent off favourite on his handicap bow in June, in what looked an open heat, and he could take a step forward following a recent spin on the Flat. However, EATON LADY has cut a rejuvenated figure since being paired with Isabelle Ryder and she can go one better after hitting the woodwork at Worcester.
HORIZON D'OR has benefited from a move to a new yard and had plenty to spare at Fontwell earlier in the month, so he's the obvious choice to go in again. In-form pair Eaton Lady and Jack The Farmer also make appeal.
A much-improved performer since upped to staying trips for his new yard last month, HORIZON D'OR (nap) can complete a quick double.

5.5/1(+8%) | (2) Zoffany Bay 5.5/1, 18/1, fifteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22f, good to soft) 42 days ago but had won on the Flat here prior to that. Significantly up in trip. Considered. Won a 1m4f handicap here in July off a 3lb lower mark; stays this trip, so considered. |

4th (10) (7.5/1 +25%) Enquire Within |
7.5/1(+25%) | (10) Enquire Within 7.5/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Career best when winning 17-runner handicap (11/1) at Navan (14f, good to soft) 13 days ago, driven out. Should remain competitive after a 5 lb rise. Won a Navan handicap last time over 1m6f and a repeat should see him involved. |

5th (1) (6.5/1 +41%) Sky Legend |
6.5/1(+41%) | (1) Sky Legend 6.5/1, Fifteenth of 18 in handicap (28/1) at Galway (12f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Decent Killarney run but struggled at Galway last time; needs best form for new yard. |

6th (13) (25/1 +24%) Craic Eile |

Poor on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Very hard to make a case for. RESERVE. Dual hurdle winner is a maiden on the Flat and rated only 36, so others preferred; reserve. |

7th (9) (9/1 +25%) Bear Claws |
9/1(+25%) | (9) Bear Claws 9/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Limerick in June. Creditable ninth of 17 in handicap at Cork (12f, good to soft, 22/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Looks competitive on form. Won over just short of 1m4f at Limerick but soundly beaten off higher marks twice since. |

33/1(-106%) | (12) Mastermind 33/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Below form eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Limerick (22f, soft) 48 days ago. Modest on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Dual hurdle winner has been poor in that sphere lately; Flat maiden after 23 starts. |

9th (4) (4.5/1 +55%) Dubai Clover |
4.5/1(+55%) | (4) Dubai Clover 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 13/2, unseated rider in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.4f, soft) 12 days ago. Up in trip. Fair on the Flat, good on last Flat outing. Player. Decent Flat handicap runs at Bellewstown and Ballinrobe and one to consider. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ZOFFANY BAY isn't the most consistent, but should be able to make his presence felt in a contest of this quality. Successful here in July, he since disappointed in a competitive 20-runner affair over flights at Galway. Back on the level now and in much calmer waters, he should go close. Enquire Within made the breakthrough at Navan recently and is a leading contender, while the versatile Walnut Beach is sure to prove popular with locals. The Pat Flynn-trained six-year-old was second at Clonmel last week and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. Annecherie caught the eye when fourth at Navan and is capable of making her presence felt, while others for the shortlist are Mastermind and Dubai Clover.
WALNUT BEACH looked a little unlucky not to finish closer when second at Clonmel last week and is taken to finally open his account on the Flat. John McConnell's Dubai Clover has recorded good in-frame efforts on her last 2 Flat outings and is second choice ahead of Annecherie.
A 120-rated hurdler, WALNUT BEACH has run creditably in this sphere the last twice, including over C&D, so looks the one to side with.

1st (2) (8/1 -33%) Rosenzoo |
8/1(-33%) | (2) Rosenzoo 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 8 in nursery at Newcastle (7.1f, 15/2) 29 days ago, headed entering final 1f but sticking to his task. Step up in trip will suit here and likely he can do better still. Not beaten far on AW/nursery debut last time; extra furlong should suit; shortlisted. |

2nd (5) (1.62/1 +41%) American Tale |
1.62/1(+41%) | (5) American Tale 1.62/1, C&D winner in August. 5/4, very good ½-length third of 7 to Primetime in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 days ago. Booking of Murphy a plus. Can go well again. Less than a length behind Primetime at Wolverhampton four days earlier and 6lb better off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (4.5/1 +25%) Alfred |
4.5/1(+25%) | (7) Alfred 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3, very good second of 10 in nursery at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 49 days ago, just failing. Makes polytrack debut. Strong claims. Beaten a neck on nursery debut last time, but more needed stepped up to 1m on AW debut. |

Significantly up in trip for handicap debut and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour. Makes his nursery/AW debut, but his speedy pedigree raises doubts over the extra 2f. |

5th (1) (16/1 -33%) Hadrian's Wall |
16/1(-33%) | (1) Hadrian's Wall 16/1, Finished runner-up on debut in an AW novice at Wolverhampton (7f) in June. Failed to replicate that level in trio of turf starts, latterly in selling company at Newmarket (7f) 33 days ago but return to AW may help now handicapping with blinkers enlisted. Not built on a promising racecourse debut; up a furlong on nursery debut; blinkers on. |

6th (6) (6/1 -20%) Primetime |
6/1(-20%) | (6) Primetime 6/1, Career best when winning 7-runner nursery (9/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 days ago (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Rider's claim all but offsets the penalty and he's in the mix again. Awarded race at Wolverhampton four days earlier,; may not conform form with American Tale.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/1 +9%) Haya Taal |
10/1(+9%) | (4) Haya Taal 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, back on track when third of 6 in maiden at Chelmsford (1m) 36 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Two AW runs have been better than his two on turf; should go well again on nursery debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ROSENZOO kept on to finish a creditable third over 7f at Newcastle and his pedigree suggests he can be even better now sent over a mile. The son of Zoffany is preferred to American Tale (third), who finished behind Primetime (second, promoted to first) at Wolverhampton last weekend, but is 6lb better off. Bulldog Drummond isn't certain to appreciate this test of stamina, but the booking of William Buick catches the eye.
AMERICAN TALE was close behind re-opposing Primetime when the pair met at Wolverhampton 4 days ago but returned to the scene of his sole success, he could be worth chancing to come out on top on this occasion. Alfred, upped in trip, and the aforementioned Primetime rate next best.
The vote goes to HAYA TAAL whose two AW efforts (including here) have been rather better than his two starts on turf.

4th (9) (7.5/1 -15%) Buttercross Flyer |
7.5/1(-15%) | (9) Buttercross Flyer 7.5/1, 14/1, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago, having run of race. Not taken lightly. Made all in Racing League event at Newcastle (AW debut) two weeks ago; commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (28/1 -155%) Bits And Bobs |
28/1(-155%) | (3) Bits And Bobs 28/1, Debut winner at Leicester (6f) in June. Matched rather than built on that after for Andrew Balding and well below best on debut for new yard when last of 6 in nursery at Kempton (1m) 4 days ago. Steps back down in trip now. Finished last of six at Kempton four days ago on AW/stable debut; something to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (40/1 -100%) Batal Dandy |
40/1(-100%) | (12) Batal Dandy 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in maiden (33/1) at Ripon (6f, good) 16 days ago, closing up late and finishing with running left. Return to 7f rates a likely plus now switched to handicaps. May be capable of improvement off this low weight on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (25/1 -79%) Bigger Than Giga |
25/1(-79%) | (1) Bigger Than Giga 25/1, Dandy Man filly who improved a little to make it 2 wins from 3 starts in maiden/novice company at Wolverhampton (7f) in July. Never figured in valuable sales race on turf debut at Newmarket (6f) 18 days ago but return to AW now handicapping can see her bounce back. 2-2 over 7f, the wins gained on AW; may have more to offer back in similar scenario. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (2/1 +43%) Crimson Spirit |
2/1(+43%) | (2) Crimson Spirit 2/1, Steadily progressive son of Harry Angel, who appreciated the step up to 7f when making it third time lucky in an Epsom maiden (7f) 16 days ago. Interesting now handicapping with prospect of more to come. Suited by the step up to 7f at Epsom last time and could well build on that success. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (8.5/1 -42%) Up The Jazz |
8.5/1(-42%) | (8) Up The Jazz 8.5/1, Justified market support when opening his account at the sixth attempt in a Carlisle nursery (6.9f) 2 weeks ago, staying on to lead well inside final 1f. More needed up in class but he's still unexposed at this sort of trip. May build on last-time-out Carlisle success, provided he takes to AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (50/1 -127%) Madame Christine |
50/1(-127%) | (10) Madame Christine 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, matched previous best on qualifying run when third of 9 in a C&D maiden 24 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates a plus but she will need to pull out more to come out on top here. Ran well in C&D maiden last time; open to progress in handicaps; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (5/1 +44%) Dubai Hills |
5/1(+44%) | (4) Dubai Hills 5/1, Fair maiden who ran up to best equipped with first-time blinkers (retained here) when fourth in 15-runner sales' race at Newmarket (6f) 18 days ago, every chance over 1f out and keeping on. Longer trip needs to bring about some improvement here. Interesting in this new scenario, being out of a 7f AW winner; first win is possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (125/1 -346%) Blow Me Away |
125/1(-346%) | (11) Blow Me Away 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 16 in minor event at Chelmsford (7f) 13 days ago, never on terms. Good deal more needed to figure on handicap bow. Handicap debutant who holds weak claims on novice form (five attempts). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Bigger Than Giga has a 2-3 record on the all-weather but she wasn't ever involved last time out on the turf at Newmarket when beaten 25 lengths into 13th. She can do a lot better on this surface and may prove the biggest danger to CRIMSON SPIRIT. He got off the mark in a good maiden at Epsom last month when tried over this trip and, if he takes to the all-weather, he could win on his nursery debut. Dubai Hills and Up The Jazz can also get involved.
CRIMSON SPIRIT showed improved form in line with the step up in trip when opening his account in a 7-runner Epsom maiden (7f) 16 days ago and with the likelihood of more to come now handicapping, he can make another bold bid. Faster Bee caught the eye on nursery debut at Newbury and is feared, with Up The Jazz and Commander Crouch others fancied to be thereabouts.
Preference is for BUTTERCROSS FLYER, who could well improve further on AW. Crimson Spirit is second choice.

1st (3) (8.5/1 -42%) She Is A Keeper |
8.5/1(-42%) | (3) She Is A Keeper 8.5/1, Maiden who again found only one too good in 6-runner seller at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 10/11) 33 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Blinkers on 1st time and booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye. Series of good runs at 7f and about 6f; claimed £10,000 after selling defeat; new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (1.1/1 +45%) Zola Power |
1.1/1(+45%) | (7) Zola Power 1.1/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 5 in nursery at Lingfield (5f, AW, 11/1) 7 days ago, beaten only by another low-mileage sort who took a step forward. Big shout off same mark with William Buick aboard. Promising 2nd of five on return to AW last week; should cope with the return to 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (6.5/1 -8%) Kandy House |
6.5/1(-8%) | (5) Kandy House 6.5/1, 9/2, creditable third of 6 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago, keeping on when hampered last ½f. Fancied to go well again. Two useful efforts in AW handicaps, over 5f and 6f; solid chance off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (40/1 -21%) Jungle Dance |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Jungle Dance 40/1, 50/1, shaped better than the bare result when fifth of 9 in nursery at this C&D 7 days ago, fading having gone off too hard in front. However, likely he'll find easier openings than this. Last to finish in first two 6f handicaps; well held off this mark over C&D last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 +29%) Meet Me In Meraki |
5/1(+29%) | (2) Meet Me In Meraki 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good, 50/1) 34 days ago, left behind 1f out. Has yet to progress from debut effort but switch to handicaps rates a plus and he's been gelded ahead of this. Worth monitoring in the betting. Signs of ability on 6f debut; wouldn't settle last time; gelded since; handicap/AW debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (6/1 +33%) Zaman Daar |
6/1(+33%) | (6) Zaman Daar 6/1, Lightly-raced colt. Shaped well when fourth of 10 in nursery (7/1) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago, despite still looking a little rough round the edges. Unlikely we've seen the best of him yet and return to 6f may help at this stage. Non-stayer over 7f on turf handicap debut; return to 6f can suit; bred to do well on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (9/1 +25%) Midnight Force |
9/1(+25%) | (4) Midnight Force 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, last of 7 in nursery at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers need to have positive effect now. Promise on 2nd start (6f); well held over 5f and on 7f handicap debut since; headgear on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ZOLA POWER couldn't quite reel in the winner when a narrow second over 5f at Lingfield a week ago, but Richard Hughes' colt can go one better upped in trip from an unchanged mark. She Is A Keeper has been a model of consistency across her five career starts and is unlikely to be far away, with first-time blinkers a potential source of improvement. Meet Me In Meraki is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of his handicap bow.
ZOLA POWER pulled clear with another improving sort when runner-up at Lingfield 7 days ago and, returned to 6f/operating from the same mark, he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better. Moreginplease and Kandy House head up the dangers, with She Is A Keeper another not out of things.
Kandy House and Zola Power have solid claims but there is also hope for ZAMAN DAAR back at 6f on the AW.

Tahitian Prince |
(3) (5.5/1 +21%)5.5/1(+21%) | (3) Tahitian Prince 5.5/1, Confirmed more positive signs from Kempton last month when capitalising on easing mark to land 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 11 days ago, tackled entering straight and responding well. Remains with handicapping scope on his old form. Has gained last four wins over 1m, including latest start; return to 7f isn't ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (9) (5/1 +38%) Yaaser |
5/1(+38%) | (9) Yaaser 5/1, Latest win at Musselburgh (7f) in July. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/2) 13 days ago, headway over 1f out and keeping on. Present mark certainly not beyond him if things fall his way. Close fourth in Racing League contest at Newcastle a fortnight ago; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 +38%) Aphelios |
4/1(+38%) | (1) Aphelios 4/1, 3-time winner over 6f who took his form up a notch tackling 7f for the first time when landing 8-runner Kempton handicap 7 days ago, well on top at the line despite being trapped wider than ideal for the most part. Claims under a penalty. Suited by step up to 7f at Kempton last week; remains unexposed at this trip; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (4.5/1 -13%) Imperial Dream |
4.5/1(-13%) | (13) Imperial Dream 4.5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (10/3) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 9 days ago, well on top finish. Escapes a penalty for that success and whilst this is undoubtedly tougher he commands respect for shrewd stable. Escapes a penalty for his Chepstow win; holds a major chance off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (8/1 -7%) Half Nutz |
8/1(-7%) | (7) Half Nutz 8/1, Losing run is mounting up but twice went close to bucking that trend in handicaps at Leopardstown (7f) last month. Weakened out of things late having done plenty mid-race when seventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 2 weeks ago. Not out of things. Irish 6yo whose latest effort can be forgiven; possibilities if this race pans out well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7.5/1 +32%) Granary Queen |
7.5/1(+32%) | (6) Granary Queen 7.5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (13/2) at Kempton (7f) 4 days ago, suited by way race developed. Good pace to aim at here will help but she remains 5 lb above last winning mark. Consistent mare but has one drawback, namely a 17-race losing sequence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 -50%) G'daay |
12/1(-50%) | (2) G'daay 12/1, Latest win at Epsom in July and made the frame both starts since, running best effort of the campaign when second back at that venue (7f) 16 days ago. Equally as effective on AW but present mark does demand that little bit more. Has form figures of 52132 since wearing a visor; still favourably treated; solid chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (66/1 -100%) Russco |
66/1(-100%) | (11) Russco 66/1, 18/1, first run since leaving Donald McCain when seventh of 10 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 15 days ago, weakening final 100 yds on the back of 11 months off. May well be sharper with that under his belt but this looks a tough enough ask back at 7f. Inconsistent in recent times but market support should be noted on second stable start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (16/1 -45%) Streak Lightning |
16/1(-45%) | (8) Streak Lightning 16/1, Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago, not clear run under 2f out and running on. Consistency is hard to knock on AW and return to 7f will help. Respectable fourth in Racing League event at Newcastle two weeks ago; not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (28/1 -27%) Yantarni |
28/1(-27%) | (5) Yantarni 28/1, Off the mark for Charlie Appleby in 1m Newmarket handicap last summer. Has yet to scale same heights for present stable though, unable to build on a promising run at Yarmouth in July when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (1m) 5 weeks ago. Inconsistent results for new stable; not sure what to expect from him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (22/1 -38%) King Of Scotia |
22/1(-38%) | (4) King Of Scotia 22/1, Fairly useful performer who opened his account in a Dundalk maiden (7f) in December and made the frame first 2 starts in 6f handicaps during the spring. Disappointed at the Curragh (7f) when last seen in May and since joined new yard for 42,000 gns in July. Remains lightly raced on AW. Record of 1-7 in Ireland, the win gained on AW; heed the market signals on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (25/1 -127%) Shawaamekh |
25/1(-127%) | (10) Shawaamekh 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, good second of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft) 39 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Runner-up in both starts this term; the veteran of the field but can't be ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (50/1 -52%) Indian Falcon |
50/1(-52%) | (12) Indian Falcon 50/1, Readily surpassed sole start as a 2-y-o (gelded during interim) to make winning return in a Pontefract novice (6f, heavy) in April. Exploits have proved mixed subsequently though, only tenth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (6f) 5 weeks ago. Makes tapeta debut now. Has failed to progress in handicaps; something to prove on AW debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Irish trainer Johnny Levins sends Shawaamekh here looking to land the prize and, after second places on both starts this season, a market watch may help to define his chances. Richard Hannon is in amongst the winners lately, and TAHITIAN PRINCE added to those numbers with a win at Chelmsford for his fourth success on the all-weather. He has won off higher marks in the past and could go well again here, while Aphelios is another to be interested in.
It could just be worth chancing HALF NUTZ. Twice runner-up from this mark at Leopardstown in August, he shaped better than his finishing position suggests at Newcastle 2 weeks ago, emptying late on having done plenty. He shades the vote, with Chepstow scorer Imperial Dream an obvious threat. Aphelios impressed when successful at Kempton and is also shortlisted.
Last week's winners Imperial Dream and Aphelios are obvious players but an interesting alternative is HALF NUTZ.

1st (2) (3/1 +14%) Fair Angellica |
3/1(+14%) | (2) Fair Angellica 3/1, Foaled March 23. Harry Angel filly. Dam, lightly raced, closely related to useful 1m winner El Hayem. Hooded for this debut but appealing otherwise, with yard's 2-y-os in good form and William Buick booked. Harry Angel filly; hood is applied on debut and market should be informative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (7.5/1 -50%) Shallow |
7.5/1(-50%) | (11) Shallow 7.5/1, Foaled March 3. 17,000 gns yearling, Rajasinghe filly. Half-sister to winner up to 6f Penny Pot Lane and 5.5f-1¼m winner Charnock Richard. Fairly appealing on paper and she's one to note in the betting. Yard 2-16 with juveniles this season and market should be informative on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 +44%) Imola |
14/1(+44%) | (4) Imola 14/1, Foaled March 10. €4,000 yearling, Calyx filly. Half-sister to 6.3f winner Miracle Nation. Just minor appeal on paper for a yard whose 2-y-os typically come on for a run. Has speed and stamina in her pedigree and market should guide on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (3/1 -50%) Sparklight |
3/1(-50%) | (12) Sparklight 3/1, Lightly-raced filly. 11/2, creditable third of 8 in minor event at Southwell (5f) 16 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Return to 6f a definite plus, as is the booking of Oisin Murphy, and she was placed both starts here in May. Runner-up here in first two starts and she's reached the frame last twice; solid contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/1 +9%) Nelson Rose |
5/1(+9%) | (7) Nelson Rose 5/1, Modest filly. Last of 20 in nursery (80/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Couldn't rule out back in calmer waters here, albeit she is starting to look a shade exposed. Inconsistent six-race maiden but has claims if she can bounce back near her best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (28/1 -100%) Iffraaj Queen |
28/1(-100%) | (3) Iffraaj Queen 28/1, Foaled April 9. 15,000 gns yearling, Iffraaj filly. Sister to 5f/6f winner Ensyaab. Positive jockey booking and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. 15,000gns yearling; drawn wide on debut and is best watched unless market is persuasive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (6/1 +8%) Lincoln Royal |
6/1(+8%) | (5) Lincoln Royal 6/1, Twice-raced filly. 10/3, seventh of 14 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 76 days ago, met some trouble. Tongue strap on 1st time and would have a chance if getting back on track having shaped fairly well on debut at Hamilton. Looks interesting on her initial form and is not ruled out on her return; tongue-tie on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (125/1 -89%) Bella Grazia |
125/1(-89%) | (1) Bella Grazia 125/1, Once-raced filly. 20/1, eighth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 11 days ago, missing break. Probably more one for the longer-term. Didn't shown much on recent Chelmsford debut and she's probably a longer-term prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (150/1 -355%) Pearl Of Rowdown |
150/1(-355%) | (8) Pearl Of Rowdown 150/1, Foaled March 27. 4,500 gns yearling, Pearl Secret filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 2-y-o 5f winner Rent Free and 5f/5.7f winner Steel Rain. Dam unraced. Entitled to come on for the run. Has plenty of speed in her pedigree but yard is 0-28 in 2yo maidens in recent years. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (8/1 +68%) Priscilla's Joy |
8/1(+68%) | (9) Priscilla's Joy 8/1, 12,000 gns yearling. Half-sister to several winners, including 7f/1m winner Alrajaa and 7f-1m winner Etaab, both smart. Yard is not a regular source of winning newcomers but she's worth a second look in the betting. Half-sister to three useful winners and she needs checking in the market on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (25/1 +62%) Rosadilly |
25/1(+62%) | (10) Rosadilly 25/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good) on debut 37 days ago. Will need to leave that form well behind if she's to play a leading role. 50-1 at Windsor (6f, soft) last month and she finished a remote ninth of 13; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (250/1 -150%) Mamies Dream |
250/1(-150%) | (6) Mamies Dream 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 14 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Massive prices and she struggled on turf (6f) and AW (7f) in her two runs last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SPARKLIGHT sets the standard with an official rating of 68 and this does not look a deep race in which to shed her maiden tag. The daughter of Cable Bay can strike at the main expense of Nelson Rose, who has enough in the formbook to suggest she can play a leading role. Newcomers Iffraaj Queen and Shallow appeal on paper and warrant market checks, although wide draws look far from ideal.
The door could be open for one of the newcomers, specifically FAIR ANGELLICA or Shallow, given that those with experience hardly set a daunting standard in this maiden. The fact that the Richard Hughes yard is enjoying a good run with its 2-y-os, plus the booking of William Buick, tilt the scales in Fair Angellica's favour. Sparklight looks the pick of the experienced contenders ahead of Nelson Rose.
The vote goes to SPARKLIGHT, who has form figures of 2243 and both of her runner-up efforts came at this track.

1st (3) (6/1 -20%) Tosen Wish |
6/1(-20%) | (3) Tosen Wish 6/1, Started his career promisingly and, having largely struggled in turf handicaps for present stable, he took a major step back in right direction when second at Newcastle (1m) 2 weeks ago, chasing home subsequent London Mile winner Helm Rock. Claims from 1 lb higher. Irish 4yo who posted a solid effort at Newcastle two weeks ago; still unexposed on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (12/1 +64%) Cabinet Of Clowns |
12/1(+64%) | (6) Cabinet Of Clowns 12/1, Latest win at Chepstow in August. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, running on. Should give another good account for all present mark demands that little bit more. In good form with blinkers fitted the last twice; could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (5.5/1 -57%) Dionysian |
5.5/1(-57%) | (12) Dionysian 5.5/1, Creditable 2¼ lengths fifth of 13 to Billy Mill in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago, short of room 2f out and staying on final 1f. Remains one to be interested in from this sort of mark and rider takes off handy 5 lb here. Shaped nicely over 7f the last twice; 2-2 in 1m contests on AW; respected off reduced mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (33/1 -65%) Fools Rush In |
33/1(-65%) | (4) Fools Rush In 33/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to soft) 11 days ago, slowly away and never dangerous. Tough to assess at present. Holds weak claims on overall turf form for current stable; not seen on AW since 2020. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7.5/1 +58%) Hartswood |
7.5/1(+58%) | (8) Hartswood 7.5/1, Endured a disappointing 2022 but well prepared to make winning return to action at Thirsk (1m) in May. Has shaped as if in reasonable heart all 4 starts since and he's no forlorn hope from this sort of mark. Didn't get the best of runs (behind Tosen Wish) last time; not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (18/1 +28%) Strongbowe |
18/1(+28%) | (11) Strongbowe 18/1, Latest win at Carlisle (7.8f) in July. 15/2, respectable second of 13 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, going well when not clear run under 2f out and keeping on. Remains less exposed than most on AW and he's a live each-way player. Exposed 7yo who faces a difficult task in this field back on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (6.5/1 +0%) Hat Toss |
6.5/1(+0%) | (10) Hat Toss 6.5/1, Winner at Sandown in June. Good second of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 27 days ago, leading last ½f and headed near line. Building up a solid record for this yard and he enters calculations again. Went close in Racing League contest at Windsor last month; open to further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (20/1 +29%) Star Zinc |
20/1(+29%) | (13) Star Zinc 20/1, Winner over C&D in June but not scaled same heights all 3 starts since, albeit best not judged too harshly on his yard debut effort when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 2 weeks ago. C&D winner in June; out of sorts otherwise this year; revival needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (7.5/1 -7%) Billy Mill |
7.5/1(-7%) | (9) Billy Mill 7.5/1, Just touched off from easing mark at Kempton (1m) 2 starts back and confirmed promise of that run when landing 13-runner Newcastle handicap (7f) 2 weeks ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Expected to go well again from 3 lb higher mark. Successful in Racing League events in 2022 and on latest outing; holds solid claims. |

10th (1) (66/1 -32%) Harswell Duke |
66/1(-32%) | (1) Harswell Duke 66/1, Showed benefit of reappearance run when landing 22-runner Spring Mile at Doncaster in April. Seen only 3 times since, possibly still in need of the run when tenth of 11 in handicap Wolverhampton (8.6f) 6 days ago. Still, others preferred. Won this year's Spring Mile; not in anything like the same form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (9/1 +0%) Kingmania |
9/1(+0%) | (5) Kingmania 9/1, Proved at least as good as ever when coming from an unpromising position to make winning return/yard debut over C&D in April. Better than bare form figures suggest in trio of starts on turf subsequently and likelihood is she remains on a workable mark returned to AW. Interesting. Sole attempt on AW resulted in C&D win; interesting back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (4/1 +33%) Baltimore Boy |
4/1(+33%) | (2) Baltimore Boy 4/1, Well served by return to AW/fitting of a first-time visor when bouncing back to score at Kempton (1m) last month and backed that up when third in Saturday's London Mile Final back at that venue. Can go well again now he's back in the groove. Creditable third in major AW handicap at Kempton last Saturday; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (40/1 -43%) Cry Havoc |
40/1(-43%) | (7) Cry Havoc 40/1, Dual 7f winner on AW this time last year who has confirmed herself back in better heart from an easing mark of late, staying on for sixth from a less-than-ideal position at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 6 days ago. However, others appeal a little more for win purposes. Five-time winner on Polytrack; 0-5 on Tapeta; not the percentage call. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Kingmania has only been here once, winning by half a length in April off 3lb lower, and she could surprise a few. With the Rod Millman horses in good form it was no shock to see BILLY MILL winning at Newcastle last month and, if Saffie Osborne can produce him fast and late again, an added 3lb from the handicapper may not prevent a repeat victory. Baltimore Boy was beaten a little over a length in a better race at Kempton latest and he looks a major player, along with Cry Havoc.
Overcoming a pace bias when successful on return/yard debut over C&D in the spring, KINGMANIA has largely been in better order than recent form figures suggest and, appealing as still being on a workable mark returned to all weather, it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing from James Ferguson's mare. Dionysian and Tosen Wish both arrive on the back of good efforts and are feared, with Hat Toss and Billy Mill others fancied to be in the mix.
All the signs look good for DIONYSIAN (nap), who is very interesting off his current mark back over 1m. Tosen Wish is feared most.

1st (14) (1.38/1 +21%) Star Music |
1.38/1(+21%) | (14) Star Music 1.38/1, Promising sort who backed up her encouraging Salisbury debut when third of 16 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 15/2) 15 days ago, finishing well. May well do better yet. Two good placed efforts over 6f and she looks a likely improver on this step up in trip. |

2nd (5) (20/1 +60%) Gaasyah |
20/1(+60%) | (5) Gaasyah 20/1, Once-raced filly. 18/1, last of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, soft) on debut 41 days ago, slowly away. Had a tough starting point on soft ground at Goodwood but she finished a tailed-off last. |

33/1(-18%) | (10) Private Getaway 33/1, Foaled April 27. Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Royal Air Force. Interesting newcomer. Yard has 23% record with 2yos and she's an interesting newcomer. |

8.5/1(+6%) | (12) Salamanca City 8.5/1, Foaled March 17. €70,000 foal, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 7f/1m winner Abby Hatcher and winner up to 6f Purciaretta, both useful. Dam 8.3f winner. Makes appeal on paper.

5th (13) (16/1 +0%) Sighter |
16/1(+0%) | (13) Sighter 16/1, Foaled March 24. 33,000 gns foal, €80,000 yearling, Expert Eye filly. Sister to 6f-7f winner Nuthatch and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m-1¼m winner Savaanah and 6f winner Tundra. Market check advised on debut. Plenty to like on paper and needs watching in market on debut; one of two runners for yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (50/1 +0%) Orbital |
50/1(+0%) | (9) Orbital 50/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1, twelfth of 16 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut 13 days ago. Likely a longer-term prospect. Well-bred filly but she didn't show much at a big price at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (66/1 -164%) Alika Breeze |
66/1(-164%) | (1) Alika Breeze 66/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 12 in maiden (12/1) at Salisbury (7f, good) on debut 27 days ago. Improvement required. Half-sister to four winners but she made a low-key start at Salisbury (7f) last month. |

8th (2) (3.5/1 +42%) Allonsy |
3.5/1(+42%) | (2) Allonsy 3.5/1, Promising type. 6/1, fifth of 10 in minor event at this C&D on debut 28 days ago. Open to improvement. Well held over C&D last month and she could be one for a bit further down the line. |

9th (11) (200/1 -300%) Roody Toody |

Sister to useful 9f winner Sagrada Familia and half-sister to several winners, including smart 1m-1¼m winner Be My Gal and useful 7f/1m winner Mobadra Has good standard to aim at on debut and is probably best watched. |

11th (3) (14/1 +72%) Carmarthen |
14/1(+72%) | (3) Carmarthen 14/1, Once-raced filly. 25/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, firm) on debut. Off 98 days. Work to do. Ran green at Doncaster in June and she needs a transformation after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (200/1 -300%) Dibble Dabble |
200/1(-300%) | (4) Dibble Dabble 200/1, Once-raced filly. 16/1, last of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 14 days ago. Didn't show much at Lingfield (7f, AW) on recent debut; probably a longer-term prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (3.33/1 -67%) High Handed |
3.33/1(-67%) | (7) High Handed 3.33/1, Posted promising first effort when fourth of 10 in minor event over C&D (50/1) 28 days ago, running on. Entitled to build on that and holds strong claims. Made a promising debut over C&D last month and she sets the standard on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (200/1 -506%) Lady Invictus |
200/1(-506%) | (8) Lady Invictus 200/1, Foaled April 26. 5,000 gns yearling, Invincible Army filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Dunnington Lad. Dam US 5.5f (including at 2 yrs) winner. Has fair standard to aim at on debut and is best watched from tough draw. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
STAR MUSIC has shown a fair amount of promise on both outings to date, finishing third at Salisbury and Newbury, and the step up from 6f could make the difference necessary for her to shed the maiden tag. High Handed (fourth) and Allonsy (fifth) are entitled to step forward from their C&D debut last month, while Sighter and Private Getaway appeal most of the newcomers.
Preference is for STAR MUSIC, who still looked in need of the experience when third at Newbury last month and ought to appreciate the step up in trip. High Handed and Allonsy are feared most.
This is a tight call between High Handed and STAR MUSIC, but the latter gets the vote on her step up in trip.

1st (2) (6/1 +0%) Gulliver |
6/1(+0%) | (2) Gulliver 6/1, C&D winner. Stepped up on recent run when fifth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 9/1) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Can make his presence felt having eased further in the weights. Encouraging fifth at Thirsk recently when denied a clear run and he's one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (8.5/1 +15%) Dare To Hope |
8.5/1(+15%) | (5) Dare To Hope 8.5/1, Never a threat when seventh of 11 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, good to soft, 16/1) 11 days ago, again slowly into stride. Makes tapeta debut. Capable of getting involved if he can cut out the slow starts. Hasn't really shone in light 3yo campaign this year but the step back up to 6f could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (11/1 +39%) Jordan Electrics |
11/1(+39%) | (12) Jordan Electrics 11/1, Bounced back to form when winning 11-runner handicap (9/1) at Carlisle (5f, good) 12 days ago. Won off this mark earlier in the season, so he's not discounted as he goes back up in trip. Won at Carlisle recently and he's twice won back-to-back previously in his career. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/1 -11%) Hierarchy |
10/1(-11%) | (1) Hierarchy 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Again very slowly away when fourth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, heavy, 12/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs to break on terms if he's to take advantage of his falling mark. His slow starts are a worry but he's on a reduced mark and is capable of having a big say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (14/1 +36%) Billyjoh |
14/1(+36%) | (11) Billyjoh 14/1, Made a winning debut at Doncaster in July. Failed to progress sent handicapping when fifth of 7 at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft, 11/2) 29 days ago. However, it still remains early days so he could yet do better. Has shown promise and still very early days, but has to leave h'cap debut run well behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (16/1 +0%) Tyger Bay |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Tyger Bay 16/1, Ran creditably when 2¼ lengths fifth of 13 to the reopposing Nordic Passage in Racing League handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago. Has something to find to gain a first win of the year. Fair fifth of 13 at Newcastle a fortnight ago but needs something extra to win this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (11/1 -10%) Amazonian Dream |
11/1(-10%) | (10) Amazonian Dream 11/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. However, has been in good form of late, second of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm, 11/2) 8 days ago. Enters calculations as he makes his tapeta debut. Went very close at Goodwood last Tuesday and every chance he'll be bang there. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (14/1 +0%) Antiphon |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Antiphon 14/1, Found it tougher upped in grade when ninth of 13 in Racing League handicap at Newcastle (5f, 28/1) 13 days ago. Bounce back called for as he returns to this longer trip. Below par at Newcastle recently but in higher grade than this; in good form on turf prior. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (7.5/1 -15%) Tolstoy |
7.5/1(-15%) | (4) Tolstoy 7.5/1, Ended long losing run in 6-runner handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 10/3) 10 days ago by 4½ lengths from Mamillius. Remains on a workable mark under a penalty, but task is to be able to back up his latest effort. Easy win at Brighton ten days ago and he's effective on Tapeta; respected under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (4/1 +0%) Nordic Passage |
4/1(+0%) | (9) Nordic Passage 4/1, Confirmed previous promise when getting back to winning ways in 13-runner Racing League handicap (8/1) at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago, readily. Remains well treated on old form and he can score again. Bang-in-form Irish challenger who won at Newcastle a fortnight ago; solid contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (80/1 -186%) Mamillius |
80/1(-186%) | (7) Mamillius 80/1, Successful at Lingfield in May. After a couple of below-par efforts, back to form when 4½ lengths second of 6 to Tolstoy in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 14/1) 10 days ago, no match for the reopposing winner. Others look stronger. No match for Tolstoy when second at Brighton recently; this could prove too competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (14/1 +44%) King Of Tonga |
14/1(+44%) | (14) King Of Tonga 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Below form last 2 starts, tenth of 11 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, good to soft, 20/1) 11 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Had an excuse at Chester last time but was also soundly beaten at Beverley two starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (7/1 +36%) Fierce |
7/1(+36%) | (13) Fierce 7/1, In first-time cheekpieces, again ran well when fourth of 6 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to soft, 2/1) 25 days ago. Can give another good account with return to this longer trip to suit. Sole win came when odds-on in a maiden but he's shown some good form in handicaps also. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (28/1 -75%) American Star |
28/1(-75%) | (3) American Star 28/1, After 9 weeks off, shaped as if needing the outing on first run since leaving Ed Walker when eighth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 16/1) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive as he makes tapeta debut. Didn't run badly on last month's stable debut at Ripon but has to improve for that outing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Tolstoy could hardly have been more impressive when scoring at Brighton 10 days ago but a 5lb penalty for that success just gives the edge to AMAZONIAN DREAM. Rod Millman's gelding was only narrowly denied at Goodwood last week and the four-year-old can race off the same mark here. Nordic Passage is another recent winner to note, while Hierarchy and Gulliver complete the shortlist.
NORDIC PASSAGE returned to winning ways in good style when landing a Racing League event at Newcastle 13 days ago, impressing with how he travelled through the race, so he is taken to follow up in his current form. Gulliver lurks on a dangerous mark and is feared most, while Amazonian Dream and Fierce both arrive in good heart and can be thereabouts once more.
This is more competitive than the six-runner Brighton handicap TOLSTOY won ten days ago but he did it easily and can defy a penalty.

1st (4) (2.5/1 +17%) Folk Star |
2.5/1(+17%) | (4) Folk Star 2.5/1, Creditable third at this venue on her last 2 outings, although the reopposing Rose Light was narrowly ahead of her in second on the first occasion. Ought to be in the shake-up again. 0-7 but she finished close up here in last two runs and should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (8.5/1 +15%) Alpha Female |
8.5/1(+15%) | (8) Alpha Female 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who made a sound start to her handicap career when third of 7 in at Bath (1¼m, good) 13 days ago. Slightly longer trip this evening should suit her. Still lightly raced but she needs improvement back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (25/1 -178%) Showlan Spirit |
25/1(-178%) | (3) Showlan Spirit 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap (9/1) at this course (1m) 63 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tom Marquand does the steering. Well held in all four runs and not sure this new trip will suit on pedigree; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3.5/1 -27%) Rose Light |
3.5/1(-27%) | (2) Rose Light 3.5/1, 12/1, creditable second of 13 in C&D handicap C&D 30 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. 0-9 but she went close off a reduced mark over C&D last time; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (125/1 -213%) Bush Rose |
125/1(-213%) | (7) Bush Rose 125/1, Modest form. First run since leaving Roger Varian when last of 7 in handicap (50/1) at Bath 13 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Well held in four runs for Roger Varian and she struggled on her stable debut last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 +0%) Crazy Maisie |
33/1(+0%) | (6) Crazy Maisie 33/1, Out of sorts on AW at the start of the spring and a 12-week break needs to have had a reviving effect. Just one win from 16 starts and she's been out of sorts in last four runs; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (3.2/1 +20%) Daphne May |
3.2/1(+20%) | (1) Daphne May 3.2/1, Course winner. Four wins from 14 runs this year. Creditable fifth of 13 in C&D handicap 30 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Four wins this year and she ran well from a tough draw over C&D last time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (3.2/1 +29%) Strictly Dreaming |
3.2/1(+29%) | (5) Strictly Dreaming 3.2/1, 12/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (11f, good) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly under William Buick. 0-9 but has claims on her best form and she's still unexposed on AW; not ruled out. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DAPHNE MAY may have been inconvenienced by an awkward draw when fourth over C&D on her most recent outing, finishing behind Rose Light (second) and Folk Star (third). The five-year-old, who has won twice at Epsom in recent months, appears capable of reversing that form and getting her head back in front. Both Rose Light and Folk Star have to enter the reckoning once again, with Alpha Female a potential improver on just her fifth start.
ROSE LIGHT had a couple of these rivals behind when second over C&D a month ago and might be up to going one better now. David Simcock's Folk Star is second choice ahead of Strictly Dreaming, the mount of William Buick.
Preference is for ROSE LIGHT, who was a close second over C&D last time and that was behind a progressive 3yo who got first run.

Struggling for form at present. Multiple winner at up to 1m7f on turf/Tapeta; retains ability but having a mixed season. |

Cheekpieces on 1st time. 1 lb out of the handicap. Thorough stayer; 2-2 in AW handicaps, including 1m6f here; stout show very likely. |

5th (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Zain Nights |

6th (2) (4/1 +11%) Diamond Bay |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Diamond Bay 4/1, 15/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 6 days ago, well ridden. More needed under a penalty. 2-2 at Wolverhampton, latest over 1m6f last week; career-high mark; first course run. |

9th (7) (50/1 -127%) Land Of Winter |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (16/1 +20%) Natchez Trace |
16/1(+20%) | (10) Natchez Trace 16/1, Course winner. Latest win here in June. Creditable seventh of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Two of last 3 wins over 1m4f here; finished remote in sole run beyond that trip (1m6f). |

|RR| (1) (50/1 -150%) Alright Sunshine |
50/1(-150%) | (1) Alright Sunshine 50/1, 10/1, good 2 lengths third of 7 to Sea Stone in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good to firm) 18 days ago, having run of race. Acts on Tapeta elsewhere; down weights; fair 3rd to Sea Stone over 1m6f on turf latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
DIAMOND BAY had plenty in hand when scoring at Wolverhampton last week and the five-year-old is hard to oppose as a result, despite a 5lb penalty. That said, the hat-trick seeking Sea Stone could give him plenty to think about, while similar comments apply to the consistent Cinnodin. Others who merit places on the shortlist are Mostly Sunny and Blazeon Five.
BLAZEON FIVE took her form to another level when edging out a subsequent winner at Ascot, pulling well clear of the rest, and she can defy a 3 lb rise at a track she's proven at. The progressive Sea Stone is the obvious threat as he bids to maintain his unbeaten record on AW, with Mostly Sunny another to consider back down in class.
Plenty of in-form stayers and course winner CINNODIN is marginally preferred to up-and-coming Sea Stone.

2nd (3) (2.5/1 +25%) Cracksking |
2.5/1(+25%) | (3) Cracksking 2.5/1, Fairly useful form. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (1¼m, good, 6/1) 25 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Likely to go well up in trip. His peak form puts him in the picture and he could find more at this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/1 +56%) Hampden Park |
7/1(+56%) | (4) Hampden Park 7/1, Hooded, fourth of 5 in novice at this course (11f, 16/1) on debut in March. Open to progress on return. Ran green when a well-held fourth of five on his debut here in March; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 +0%) Trust House |
4/1(+0%) | (5) Trust House 4/1, Fair form in 2 outings on testing ground on turf in the spring. Returns as an unexposed sort for a leading stable in cracking form. Had tough tasks in two runs this spring and he needs checking in market on his return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (33/1 -230%) Waxing Gibbous |
33/1(-230%) | (13) Waxing Gibbous 33/1, Green when third of 6 in maiden (20/1) at Goodwood (1¼m, soft) on debut 17 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Should have more to offer. Ran green behind a useful rival at Goodwood and she's open to progress upped to 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (125/1 -400%) A Poet's Secret |
125/1(-400%) | (2) A Poet's Secret 125/1, Modest form in 2 outings for Sean Woods. Best watched now setting out for her new stable. Well-held fifth in both her runs and she needs major improvement for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (125/1 -150%) Truth Will Out |
125/1(-150%) | (6) Truth Will Out 125/1, Modest form in 2 outings this summer and looks more one for handicaps after this. 33-1 in his two runs (1m2f/1m4f) this summer and he's failed to beat a rival; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (200/1 -300%) Buganvillea |
200/1(-300%) | (8) Buganvillea 200/1, Well held in 2 outings over C&D last month (beaten 30 lengths when fourth latterly). First-time cheekpieces will need to transform her. Big prices and was beaten 30l or more in two runs over C&D last month; headgear added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (250/1 -150%) Lesleyanne |
250/1(-150%) | (9) Lesleyanne 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 300/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Has finished a remote seventh in her two runs (1m2f/1m) this summer, with a best RPR of 34. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (250/1 -150%) Rock Goddess |
250/1(-150%) | (11) Rock Goddess 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1 and tongue strap on first time, last of 5 in novice at Yarmouth (1¼m, good to firm) 34 days ago. Cracksking looks very much the stable first string. Has finished a tailed-off last in both her runs this summer; look elsewhere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (250/1 -150%) Silver Bobbin |
250/1(-150%) | (12) Silver Bobbin 250/1, 80/1, last of 6 in maiden at Goodwood (1¼m, soft) on debut 17 days ago. Up in trip. 80-1 on her recent debut at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and she finished a remote last of six. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Runner-up on each of her three starts, including over C&D last time out, LET LIFE HAPPEN deserves a change in luck and she can get that on this occasion in a winnable contest. A maiden after nine attempts and second to a subsequent winner over track and trip last month, Atlantis Blue looks to be a key player, along with Cracksking, who has the services of William Buick to call upon. Another Beautiful and Waxing Gibbous cannot be ruled out either.
LET LIFE HAPPEN ended up with a lot to do over C&D last time, the way she ran on for second suggesting her best days are ahead of her and she can make it fourth time lucky. Cracksking could have more to offer now tackling 1½m for the first time and can give Sir Michael Stoute's representative most to do ahead of Atlantis Blue.
An interesting race in which Sir Michael Stoute's LET LIFE HAPPEN gets the vote ahead of Atlantis Blue and Cracksking.

1st (6) (12/1 +14%) Thunder Moor |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Thunder Moor 12/1, Ran creditably when 1¾ lengths fifth of 13 to Show Me Show Me in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 27 days ago, though may have his work cut out trying to overcome his high draw on all-weather debut. Has run well in defeat on two of last three starts and might not be far away on AW debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/1 -83%) May Sonic |
11/1(-83%) | (3) May Sonic 11/1, C&D winner. 18/1, respectable second of 9 in handicap at Newbury (5.2f, good) 25 days ago. Has slipped back to last winning mark and can give a good account again. Ran well on turf last time and won off this mark over C&D in January; respected back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (8/1 +11%) Sporting Hero |
8/1(+11%) | (8) Sporting Hero 8/1, Won 2 of 3 starts in his juvenile campaign but hasn't looked especially well treated in a pair of handicaps this year. Remains low mileage but others are preferred on his return from 116-day absence/gelding op. Lightly raced 3yo who has been gelded since last time; return to AW could be a big plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (12/1 -85%) Lil Guff |
12/1(-85%) | (4) Lil Guff 12/1, Latest win at Sandown in June. 9/4, good short-head second of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Arrives in fine form though has a less-than-ideal draw to overcome. Has gone close on turf the last twice; in the mix if good form continues on Tapeta debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (20/1 +0%) Night On Earth |
20/1(+0%) | (13) Night On Earth 20/1, Benefited from a good position and ran better than for a while when sixth of 11 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago but has something to find on the bulk of his recent efforts. Has dropped down weights & return to AW may be a plus, but hard to be confident in claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (5.5/1 +39%) Manila Scouse |
5.5/1(+39%) | (5) Manila Scouse 5.5/1, Reliable sort won at both Haydock and Chepstow in August. Poorly drawn when fifteenth of 20 in handicap (13/2) at York (5.4f, good to firm) 21 days ago and it would be no surprise if he's able to make a greater impact here. Disappointing at York in hat-trick bid but fast ground maybe not ideal; progressive prior. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (4/1 +33%) Angle Land |
4/1(+33%) | (11) Angle Land 4/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood in May. 15/2, returned to form when second of 7 in handicap there (5f, heavy) 18 days ago. Remains on last winning mark and can go well again. Back to form at Goodwood latest and she has a good record over C&D; firmly in calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (18/1 +18%) Strong Power |
18/1(+18%) | (2) Strong Power 18/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 33/1) 6 days ago. Looks a bit too high in the weights at present. Didn't run badly last week on second stable start but needs something extra to land this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (18/1 -100%) Never Dark |
18/1(-100%) | (9) Never Dark 18/1, Bounced back to form when making all in 7-runner handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 19 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and having proved game to score there, is one for the shortlist. Made all at Hamilton last month and also effective over this C&D; could be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (10/1 +38%) Safari Dream |
10/1(+38%) | (7) Safari Dream 10/1, Back on track after an 11-week break when seventh of 12 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 11 days ago but another step forward is probably required here if he's to make a greater impact this time. Returned from break with fair midfield run at Sandown and could build on that today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Michaela's Boy |
4.5/1(+18%) | (1) Michaela's Boy 4.5/1, Front-runner finished second in 16-runner premier handicap at the Curragh in June and wasn't disgraced when tenth of 20 in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Holds sound place claims. Mid-division at York latest; could make a bold bid now back down in trip and in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (28/1 -40%) Show Me Show Me |
28/1(-40%) | (14) Show Me Show Me 28/1, Won at Beverley and Windsor (beat Lil Guff) in August but stalled in his hat-trick bid when only ninth of 11 at Carlisle (5f, good, 6/1) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Still potentially well treated if able to bounce back. Disappointing at Carlisle latest but prior to that was 2-2 in this visor; not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (20/1 -43%) Faustus |
20/1(-43%) | (10) Faustus 20/1, Latest win at Brighton in August. Raced too freely when fifth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Goodwood (5f, heavy) 18 days ago, and though his previous outings this summer would put him in the mix, he'll likely need to improve to overcome the widest draw. In good form prior to last time, when he may have gone off to hard; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (12) (33/1 -18%) Pockley |
33/1(-18%) | (12) Pockley 33/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Given a considerate return from a 5-month absence when down the field there 13 days ago. Likely to be sharper for the run now and merits market check. Just 1lb above last winning mark and could improve for recent return to action. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
SPORTING HERO hasn't kicked on as expected following the promise of his novice victories as a juvenile. Gelded since his latest run, the son of Bobby's Kitten is given a chance to return to form, especially back on the all-weather with him being unbeaten on an artificial surface. Manila Scouse was progressing nicely until disappointing at York's Ebor meeting. The four-year-old has every chance to leave that performance behind him. Lil Guff, May Sonic and Never Dark complete the shortlist.
NEVER DARK has only been nudged up the weights for last month's front-running Hamilton win and he's fancied to follow up for the in-form Iain Jardine yard. Angle Land remains on his last winning mark and bounced back to form at Newcastle last time, so also makes appeal with Dettori on board, whilst Michaela's Boy has been competing in stiffer company and is another who could give a bold bid from the front.
The return to AW could be a major plus for the very lightly raced 3yo SPORTING HERO, who has been gelded since his last run in May.

1st (5) (4.5/1 -35%) Malka |
4.5/1(-35%) | (5) Malka 4.5/1, Fair maiden. 9/2, good fourth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (1¼m, good) 27 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Unexposed now stepping up to a trip which should suit. Still unexposed but she needs to find more at this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4/1 +0%) Mordor |
4/1(+0%) | (6) Mordor 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 5 in novice at Doncaster (1½m, firm, 9/2) 68 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Interesting runner. Showed promise in novice events and he needs a close look on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (5/1 +9%) Stage Show |
5/1(+9%) | (11) Stage Show 5/1, 11/10, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (1¼m, good to firm) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Eased another 2 lb and starting to look well treated. 0-8 and he needs a more dynamic effort at this new trip; cheekpieces added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5.5/1 +15%) Silver Nightfall |
5.5/1(+15%) | (3) Silver Nightfall 5.5/1, Three wins from 8 runs this year, the latest when seeing off 5 rivals over C&D 14 days ago. Did that quite cosily but 4 lb higher in a stronger race now. Made it 3-6 on AW with her smooth success over C&D last time; big player again up 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5.5/1 +21%) Open Champion |
5.5/1(+21%) | (1) Open Champion 5.5/1, Winner of an AW maiden for Roger Varian last year and best run for current yard when second over 11f here in a first-time visor (retained) 4 weeks ago, finishing with running left. Big player if showing up in similar form. 4yo who turned things around with a close second here (1m3f) last month; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (12/1 +45%) So Farhh So Good |
12/1(+45%) | (8) So Farhh So Good 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3 and cheekpieces on first time, last of 5 in handicap at Haydock (10.5f, good) 32 days ago. Hood back on now. Hasn't looked entirely straightforward and was disappointing latest; now steps up to 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (16/1 +36%) Beautiful Crown |
16/1(+36%) | (7) Beautiful Crown 16/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Bath (1m, good, 11/2) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly back up in trip. On long losing run but he could be dangerous on this big step back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (14/1 -40%) Havanazam |
14/1(-40%) | (9) Havanazam 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. 8/1, last of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (1½m, soft) on belated reappearance 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Can only really be watched. Still has potential but he struggled on his comeback last month and headgear is now added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (9/1 +0%) Maid In London |
9/1(+0%) | (10) Maid In London 9/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in April. Cheekpieces on first time, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 46 days ago, very slowly away. Others more persuasive. Has found things tough in handicaps and she needs to find more at this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (33/1 +0%) Eagle Court |
33/1(+0%) | (2) Eagle Court 33/1, Latest win at Salisbury in May. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newbury (1½m, good, 40/1) 25 days ago. Not easy to predict and was tailed off latest but has claims if he can bounce back again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (33/1 +34%) Wilkie |
33/1(+34%) | (4) Wilkie 33/1, Last of 6 in handicap (12/1) at Goodwood (9f, soft) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. 0-7 for current yard and has been beaten a long way in last six runs; lots to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SILVER NIGHTFALL relished the step up in trip when scoring over C&D and a 4lb rise for that comfortable success may not be enough to prevent her from following up. The booking of Hollie Doyle is another plus and she may have too much for Open Champion, who was awarded a race here after being hampered, only to lose it again on appeal. Stage Show is another who could improve for this distance, while the unexposed Mordor is of interest on his handicap debut.
STAGE SHOW has edged down the weights and might be worth siding with in the hope that first-time cheekpieces see him pull out a little more. Alan King's Open Champion rates an obvious danger after his good run here last time, while lightly-raced 3-y-o Malka leaves the impression this step up to 1½m will suit her.
Top of the list is SILVER NIGHTFALL (nap) who has a record of 122131 on AW and kicked on again with a smooth win over C&D last time.

1st (10) (4/1 +33%) Valsad |
4/1(+33%) | (10) Valsad 4/1, 11/1, got back on the up when second of 13 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 25 days ago, going down only narrowly to a progressive 3-y-o. Makes tapeta debut. Shortlist material. Close second at Newbury last time; has low mileage and may do better still; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (10/1 +17%) Graignes |
10/1(+17%) | (7) Graignes 10/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest at Sandown in August. 10/1, undone by a 9 lb rise in the weights when third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 6 days ago. Up in trip. Hood on 1st time. Expected to give another good account. In good form over shorter distances this season; something to prove back at 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (4.5/1 +10%) Regal Empire |
4.5/1(+10%) | (9) Regal Empire 4.5/1, Dual course winner earlier this year. 13/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Ascot (12f, good) 32 days ago, suited by step back up in trip. Improving all the time recently and has to be taken seriously back at this venue. Rallied tenaciously in the Shergar Cup Classic; 2-3 at Southwell; respected back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7.5/1 +0%) Star Harbour |
7.5/1(+0%) | (4) Star Harbour 7.5/1, Latest win at Chepstow in August. 5/1, shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 27 days ago, finishing with running left after snatched up over 1f out. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Irish 5yo who brings Racing League form but has a question to answer back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (80/1 -142%) The Thunderer |
80/1(-142%) | (11) The Thunderer 80/1, Latest win at Chester in June. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 33/1) 6 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Never figured in Racing League event last week and all wins remain in Class 5. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (5/1 -50%) Scampi |
5/1(-50%) | (3) Scampi 5/1, Latest win at Ascot in August. 14/1, shaped as if still in good form when tenth of 22 in handicap at York (13.8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, travelling better than most. Could well feature having his first all-weather start of the year. Non-stayer over 1m6f in the Ebor; has useful 1m4f form this term and remains of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (5.5/1 +21%) Onesmoothoperator |
5.5/1(+21%) | (8) Onesmoothoperator 5.5/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 15/2, bounced back to form when second of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 13 days ago, no match for winner. Ran well in Racing League event at Newcastle a fortnight ago; last win came at this venue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (40/1 -21%) Protected Guest |
40/1(-21%) | (12) Protected Guest 40/1, Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 7 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to soft, 66/1) 47 days ago, turning it in. Dropped 3 lb but can only be watched given the concerns about his attitude. Well exposed 8yo who is on a 16-race losing sequence; opposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (16/1 -45%) Enemy |
16/1(-45%) | (1) Enemy 16/1, 50/1, ran better than for a while when third of 14 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and would be no certainty to reproduce that form here. Placed in notable 1m6f event at Haydock last Saturday; won at Meydan on sole 1m4f attempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (33/1 -106%) Percy Shelley |
33/1(-106%) | (2) Percy Shelley 33/1, Useful performer who was successful in 2022 in maiden at Longchamp, and minor events at same course and at Chantilly. 14/10, last of 6 to Aude in minor event at Saint-Cloud on reappearance back in March and has since left S. Wattel (€25,000). Makes handicap/all-weather bow. Form dipped on final French run; market instructive on British debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (6.5/1 +54%) Saratoga Gold |
6.5/1(+54%) | (6) Saratoga Gold 6.5/1, 80/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, found things too competitive from his current mark when fifteenth of 22 in handicap at York (13.8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Useful performance to win by 7l at Kempton when last seen on AW; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (33/1 -106%) Soto Sizzler |
33/1(-106%) | (5) Soto Sizzler 33/1, 12/1, turned in his best effort of the season when second of 4 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, soft) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Task is to now back that up given he hasn't been the most consistent in recent years. Ran respectably last time but now returns to a deeper field; inconsistent this year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
SCAMPI didn't quite get home in the Ebor on his latest start and the drop back to 1m4f, which saw him succeed the time before at the Shergar Cup, presents him with a solid opportunity to add another valuable prize to his CV. Regal Empire also won on the same card at Ascot and makes plenty of appeal in his bid for a third course victory. Soto Sizzler has dropped to a fair mark and is respected, while any market support for UK debutant Percy Shelley would make him of considerable interest.
A fiercely competitive concluding contest to Racing League 2023 and the one who makes most appeal is VALSAD, who went down only narrowly to a progressive 3-y-o at Newbury last month and provided he takes to the surface (makes all-weather debut), Harry & Roger Charlton's charge can double his tally. Regal Empire won twice at this track earlier in the year and arriving on the back of Shergar Cup success, he rates the main danger. Onesmoothoperator and Scampi round off the shortlist.
Progressive 3yo REGAL EMPIRE is taken to follow up his Ascot success. Onesmoothoperator is second choice.

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.
