Races & Results Monday 14th October 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(8) Leloopa 1/1, Has reached the frame in both hurdle starts for new trainer Fergal O'Brien, finishing second at Newton Abbot in a first-time tongue tie (retained) last month. Good chance she can go one better now. Close second at Newton Abbot last month and looks the one to beat here.
5
2nd (5) (4/1 -14%) Versace Twentyone
4
4/1(-14%)
(5) Versace Twentyone 4/1, Maiden pointer but won a Roscommon bumper for Gordon Elliott in July. Third in a Worcester bumper for Sheila Lewis the following month and made a reasonably encouraging start to her hurdle career when fourth at Newton Abbot last month, albeit Leloopa was ahead in second. Bumper winner; about 6l behind Leloopa on hurdle debut at Newton Abbot but can improve.
4
3rd (4) (25/1 +0%) Made For Me
25
25/1(+0%)
(4) Made For Me 25/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points (March 2023) but only minor promise under Rules in the spring, including on hurdle debut. Beaten about 36l when eighth in very ordinary maiden on hurdle debut in May.
10
4th (10) (50/1 -317%) Talysh
50
50/1(-317%)
(10) Talysh 50/1, Fourth in hurdles 10 months apart. Better effort at Market Rasen last time but she was beaten 28 lengths and it's still barely modest form. Struggled on debut, and it's questionable what she achieved when fourth on latest outing.
1
5th (1) (125/1 -942%) A Little Something
125
125/1(-942%)
(1) A Little Something 125/1, Offered little in 3 points. Finished third in a Stratford bumper on her first outing for this yard but well behind Leloopa in a Newton Abbot novice hurdle since. Behind two of these when well-held seventh on last month's hurdling debut.
9
6th (9) (125/1 -279%) My Mate Polly
125
125/1(-279%)
(9) My Mate Polly 125/1, No promise in bumpers and poor form over hurdles. Needs first-time cheekpieces to spark improvement. 0-9 over hurdles but has a modicum of ability and is not ruled out each-way in a thin race.
7
7th (7) (100/1 -614%) Formel Park
100
100/1(-614%)
(7) Formel Park 100/1, Related to 4 winners and better effort in bumpers when third at Southwell 4 months ago. Sent off at 200/1 when unseating early on Chepstow hurdle debut on Friday. Third in a bumper in May but didn't get far when 200-1 for recent hurdle debut.
6
8th (6) (66/1 -843%) Arctic Angel
66
66/1(-843%)
(6) Arctic Angel 66/1, Offered something to work on when third in Newton Abbot bumper in May but pulled up on Chepstow hurdle debut on Friday. This is a weaker race but she'll need to leave that well behind turned out again quickly. Placed in a bumper in May but struggled to get competitive over hurdles on Friday.
2
9th (2) (11/1 +8%) Barra Blue
11
11/1(+8%)
(2) Barra Blue 11/1, Promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers but comfortably held in 2 hurdles at the start of this season. Leloopa looks the yard first string. Made the frame in both bumpers but her first two hurdle runs were underwhelming.
3
|F| (3) (11/4 +54%) Granny Hawkins
2.75
11/4(+54%)
(3) Granny Hawkins 11/4, Runner-up in a Southwell bumper on debut in June but well beaten in another bumper and novice hurdle since. Still early days, though, and her stable won this race 12 months ago. Ran well to a point in much stronger race than this at Taunton in February; place claims.
13:30 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LELOOPA finished over four lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar at Newton Abbot last month and she sets the standard with a rating of 107. Fergal O'Brien's four-year-old might only need to reproduce that effort in order to go one better. Versace Twentyone finished fourth behind the selection on her latest outing and she might be able to get closer on only her second start over hurdles, while A Little Something is another to note.
A repeat of the form LELOOPA showed when second at Newton Abbot last time could be good enough to see her go one better now. Versace Twentyone was just under 6 lengths behind the selection in fourth at the Devon venue and can fill the forecast spot ahead of Granny Hawkins.
This looks good for LELOOPA, who went down fighting when second over hurdles at Newton Abbot last month.
(1) Ata Rangi 9/4, Lightly-raced gelding. Respectable fifth of 12 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, heavy, 3/1) 7 days ago. Beaten five times and it was a modest maiden in which he was only fifth at Killarney.
6
2nd (6) (6/5 +31%) Thequietman
1.2
6/5(+31%)
(6) Thequietman 6/5, Thrice-raced gelding. Tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good to soft, 5/4) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Stable having good spell. Stands out on pick of form. Needs to tap back into the promise of his debut effort but it's still early days.
5
3rd (5) (9/4 -50%) Silent Guardian
2.25
9/4(-50%)
(5) Silent Guardian 9/4, Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good to soft, 11/1) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Respected. Third on Cork debut (1m) and improved again when closer at the Curragh (1m2f, good).
3
4th (3) (66/1 -100%) Firesky
66
66/1(-100%)
(3) Firesky 66/1, Once-raced gelding. 66/1, ninth of 15 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) on debut 41 days ago. Keen early and faded into a 10l ninth on good ground at Gowran (7f; 66-1).
4
5th (4) (125/1 -150%) Lord Talbot
125
125/1(-150%)
(4) Lord Talbot 125/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 200/1, twelfth of 16 in maiden at Navan (10.2f, good) 37 days ago. Back down in trip. Plenty to find on form. Beaten a long way in all three of his starts from 1m to 1m2f; softer ground this time.
2
6th (2) (40/1 -150%) Benji Bee
40
40/1(-150%)
(2) Benji Bee 40/1, Twice-raced gelding. 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Beaten 11l and 13l in two 6f maidens at the Curragh, latterly in cheekpieces.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ATA RANGI was coming back from nearly four months off when fifth at Killarney a week ago and, with that run under his belt, he can strike here for Henry de Bromhead and Billy Lee. The Decorated Knight gelding also ran creditably over a mile a couple of times earlier in the season and is proven on soft ground. Silent Guardian was first home in a barrier trial before being placed over a mile at Cork. He didn't see out 1m2f at the Curragh last time and will be racing on easy ground for the first time. Thequietman was second to a smart horse on his debut over a mile at Leopardstown but has twice disappointed at short prices since.
A low-grade maiden, and THEQUIETMAN stands out on his debut form, though he's been below that level twice since. Silent Guardian is next best, ahead of Ata Rangi.
In such a weak maiden another chance is given to THEQUIETMAN who ran such a promising race on his Leopardstown debut.
(1) Maid In Chelsea 13/8, Promising sort. 5/2, won 7-runner novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago with Mockirr (7 lb pull) just over 2 lengths adrift in third. Should have more to offer and return to turf shouldn't be an issue given that she shaped well over 6f here on debut in June, albeit on faster ground. Showed promise here in June, then won at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; warrants respect.
2
2nd (2) (9/4 -88%) Mockirr
2.25
9/4(-88%)
(2) Mockirr 9/4, Twice-raced maiden. 13/8 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 2¼ lengths third of 7 to Maid In Chelsea in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago. Appeals as the type to continue to progress with racing and he's a big player. Just over 2l behind Maid In Chelsea at Wolverhampton; gets a 7lb pull with that rival.
3
3rd (3) (13/8 +68%) Space Trooper
1.625
13/8(+68%)
(3) Space Trooper 13/8, Once-raced maiden. Third of 7 in maiden (16/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) on debut 25 days ago. As a half-brother to the yard's smart sprinter Apollo One he may well take this drop in trip in his stride, but a good deal more will be needed if he's to rustle the feathers of the other two. Promising third in 1m maiden at Chelmsford; has some speed in pedigree; interesting.

13:42 Windsor Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Maid In Chelsea is penalised for a cosy success at Wolverhampton when MOCKIRR was back in third. The latter has a bit to find on the bare form, but a 7lb turnaround at the weights helps and William Haggas' inmate will likely improve on his second start after wind surgery. Space Trooper failed to get a clear run when third at Chelmsford on debut and improvement looks likely.
MOCKIRR is taken to turn the tables on his Wolverhampton conqueror Maid In Chelsea, now meeting that rival on 8 lb better terms compared to when finishing just over 2 lengths adrift of her at the aforementioned track a fortnight ago. Space Trooper should be wiser following his belated debut at Chelmsford last month but while this drop back in trip may not be a bad move, he will need to take a big step forward in order to trouble his two rivals.
The rematch between Maid In Chelsea and Mockirr could go either way. SPACE TROOPER is interesting, assuming he copes with 5f.
(5) Ayr Poet 3/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Only eighth of 12 at Ayr 4 days ago, merely closing up late. Others more persuasive. Showed spark as recently as August but unable to get competitive on last three outings.
6
2nd (6) (10/3 -48%) True Nation
3.333333
10/3(-48%)
(6) True Nation 10/3, 8/1, career best when winning 11-runner C&D handicap (good) 12 days ago, driven out. A 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. Back to form with C&D win 12 days ago and she's a player if backing up that effort.
4
3rd (4) (13/2 -136%) Dogged
6.5
13/2(-136%)
(4) Dogged 13/2, 5/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Ripon (11f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Back down in trip. Merits consideration for a yard going well. The drop back down to 1m isn't an obvious plus but Becky Smith is a good booking.
2
4th (2) (7/2 +46%) Swift Salian
3.5
7/2(+46%)
(2) Swift Salian 7/2, 11/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good to firm) 24 days ago but was placed on AW prior to that. Hood worn on last couple of starts is left off. 3yo; just one win from his 14 starts but he's not ruled out off a competitive mark.
8
5th (8) (50/1 -52%) Cage Rattler
50
50/1(-52%)
(8) Cage Rattler 50/1, Unreliable individual. 50/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 10 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. He won in Ireland in May but has struggled subsequently and a transformation is required.
1
6th (1) (7/1 -56%) Alazwar
7
7/1(-56%)
(1) Alazwar 7/1, Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 17/2) under Brodie Hampson last Monday. Blinkers back on. Ought to be thereabouts. He's dropped down the weights and has a chance now back at a more suitable trip.
3
7th (3) (9/1 +10%) American Star
9
9/1(+10%)
(3) American Star 9/1, 40/1, last of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7f, good) on Thursday. Tough to fancy on recent efforts. Won off 2lb higher at Chester in July but his subsequent form has been patchy.
7
8th (7) (16/1 -113%) Bulls Aye
16
16/1(-113%)
(7) Bulls Aye 16/1, Unreliable type who was well behind True Nation over C&D 12 days ago. Did win this race last year, though. Won this race last year when 8lb higher; disappointing campaign in 2024.
13:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
True Nation bounced back to form when scoring over track and trip earlier in the month and she holds an obvious chance off only 3lb higher. However, it may pay to side with DOGGED, who filled the runner-up spot over 1m3f at Ripon in August and goes off an unchanged rating. The seven-year-old should have no issues with the drop in distance and might regain the winning thread, while Bulls Aye can fight it out for the minor honours.
Rebecca Menzies has her team in form and DOGGED can build on a good run at Ripon last time and resume winning ways at the expense of recent C&D scorer True Nation. Alazwar may prove best of the remainder.
The drop back to 1m isn't an obvious positive for DOGGED but he arrives on the back of a good run and has the assistance of Becky Smith
(3) Moodofthemoment 17/2, Still winless but he has shaped well since joining his current yard, again going close at Worcester last month. Well in the mix. Second in three 2m Worcester chases for new stable; 2m5f will also suit; respected.
1
2nd (1) (9/1 +10%) Lost Connections
9
9/1(+10%)
(1) Lost Connections 9/1, Landed a 2m4f mares' handicap chase at Ludlow last season. Rather in and out since, 15½ lengths fourth of 13 to Henry Box Brown in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good, 11/4) 47 days ago. Respectable fourth at Worcester last three starts; this right-handed track may suit better.
10
3rd (10) (7/1 +56%) Ballinoulart
7
7/1(+56%)
(10) Ballinoulart 7/1, Remains a maiden and low-key start for this yard. Others preferred. Didn't run badly at Warwick last month but career strike-rate now stands at 0-17.
8
4th (8) (4/5 +68%) Lock Out
0.8
4/5(+68%)
(8) Lock Out 4/5, Couldn't kick on over fences/hurdles during a light 2023/24 campaign but firmly back on track when making a winning return in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f) on Friday under this rider. Able to race off 5 lb lower here so obvious claims if this doesn't come too soon. Won higher-grade race at Chepstow on Friday and is effectively 5lb lower here.
7
5th (7) (16/1 -33%) Best Mate Dave
16
16/1(-33%)
(7) Best Mate Dave 16/1, Modest hurdler who disappointed last time. Back chasing now having been amiss on sole start over fences (irregular heartbeat) this summer. Headgear on. Placed over hurdles two starts ago and might have untapped potential over fences.
4
6th (4) (28/1 +30%) Ben Buie
28
28/1(+30%)
(4) Ben Buie 28/1, Two wins from 6 runs last season but has struggled since his return and took a heavy first-fence fall at Worcester 54 days ago. Needs to better his recent efforts but won this race off 3lb higher last year.
6
7th (6) (25/1 -400%) Henry Box Brown
25
25/1(-400%)
(6) Henry Box Brown 25/1, Has returned to chasing this season and gained a first success over fences when staying on to lead close home in a Worcester handicap (20f, good) in August under this rider, suited by a strongly-run race. Could still have more to offer, but he'll need things to drop right again. Finished strongly from long way off the pace to open chase account at Worcester in August.
2
8th (2) (12/1 -260%) Post No Bills
12
12/1(-260%)
(2) Post No Bills 12/1, Good runner-up efforts in the space of 24 hrs at Perth last month, clear of rest both times. Needs considering. Placed on consecutive days at Perth last month and has obvious each-way claims again.
9
|PU| (9) (16/1 -100%) William Ewart
16
16/1(-100%)
(9) William Ewart 16/1, Opened his chase account at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) in February and some good placed efforts since, including when second of 14 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good) 53 days ago. Should be thereabouts once more. Ran well in defeat at Newton Abbot on latest outing and is also suited by this track.
5
|PU| (5) (50/1 +50%) Esperti
50
50/1(+50%)
(5) Esperti 50/1, Little impact over hurdles for this yard and plenty to prove now chasing. Makes chasing debut from career-low mark but with quite a bit to prove.
14:00 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HENRY BOX BROWN accounted for his nearest rival by just under four lengths in this grade at Worcester in August and he was given a 9lb rise for that triumph. Evan Williams' seven-year-old has lots in his favour and could prove tough to beat. Moodofthemoment has taken the silver medal home on each of his three starts for the Matt Sheppard stable and should go well, along with Post No Bills.
The obvious one is LOCK OUT, who made a winning return from out of the handicap at Chepstow on Friday and is able to race off 5 lb lower here. Moodofthemoment and Post No Bills have been knocking on the door of late so are likely threats.
It's hard to get away from LOCK OUT, who returned to form to land a gamble at Chepstow on Friday and is 5lb lower here.
(3) Merisi Diamond 11/4, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in September. Respectable fourth of 16 in handicap (13/2) at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Place possibilities. Beat Mercurial over C&D early last month on soft, another good run at the Curragh since.
2
2nd (2) (4/1 +33%) Mercurial
4
4/1(+33%)
(2) Mercurial 4/1, Latest win at the Curragh in April. 5/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft) 30 days ago, worst of draw. Looks competitive on form. Fifth in two Chester appearances after C&D second behind Merisi Diamond, good claimer.
4
3rd (4) (15/2 -150%) Blue Soul
7.5
15/2(-150%)
(4) Blue Soul 15/2, Winner at Tipperary in July. Creditable third of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 6/1) 41 days ago. Trainer going well and she should have a part to play. Has continued to run well since fast-ground Tipperary win, soft going could be an issue.
11
4th (11) (20/1 -208%) Goldrush Kid
20
20/1(-208%)
(11) Goldrush Kid 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form fourth of 10 in a maiden claimer (9/2) at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and should male his presence felt. Fair fourth in a claimer at Bellewstown, 5f was inadequate in his first handicap.
6
5th (6) (11/2 +31%) Dragon Of Malta
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(6) Dragon Of Malta 11/2, 11/2, good second of 12 in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things once again. Five-time winner could be a leading player on the evidence of Listowel second.
12
6th (12) (22/1 -38%) Von Krolock
22
22/1(-38%)
(12) Von Krolock 22/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourteenth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Back up in trip and others are more persuasive. 1-26 strike rate is a negative, a few good runs this season, poor at the Curragh last time.
5
7th (5) (16/1 -300%) Una Matata
16
16/1(-300%)
(5) Una Matata 16/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 18/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, won 11-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 21 days ago. More needed on this handicap debut but she's unexposed. Improved in a tongue-tie (discarded now) when winning at Fairyhouse, relatively unexposed.
7
8th (7) (25/1 0%) Victor's Choice
25
25/1(0%)
(7) Victor's Choice 25/1, Latest win at Galway in August. Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Soft-ground winner at the Galway festival, should at least have conditions in her favour.
10
9th (10) (100/1 -203%) Top Of The Pops
100
100/1(-203%)
(10) Top Of The Pops 100/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 5 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good, 11/4). Off over 3 years. First run for yard after leaving Mark Johnston. Debut winner for Mark Johnston in 2020, failed to train on, absent since June 2021.
1
10th (1) (11/1 -38%) Current Option
11
11/1(-38%)
(1) Current Option 11/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Dundalk (7f) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Has good chance on pick of form. Recorded the eighth win of a 58-race career in June; not in the same form since then.
8
11th (8) (8/1 +60%) Karlsberg
8
8/1(+60%)
(8) Karlsberg 8/1, Latest win at Cork in April. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap (12/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 51 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs to bounce back. Three wins at up 1m, probably did not stay 1m2f last time, suited by very soft ground.
9
12th (9) (20/1 +20%) Uncle Albert
20
20/1(+20%)
(9) Uncle Albert 20/1, Winner at Cork in March. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 33/1) 16 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Now below last winning mark but others preferred all the same. Well backed when winning on seasonal debut at Cork, moderate form since, reduced mark now.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MERISI DIAMOND and Mercurial pulled well clear of the rest of the field when fighting out the finish in a C&D contest on heavy ground last month and the former may confirm the form. Joanna Morgan's powerfully-built five-year-old didn't run badly off his revised mark at the Curragh and has scope for further progress. Following his narrow defeat here, Mercurial was held in two outings at Chester on successive days in mid-September but is 10lb better off at the weights with the selection which gives him strong claims on paper. Trip and ground are right for Dragon Of Malta who went close at Listowel last time while Current Option has come down to an attractive mark and drops in grade.
Several to consider in this competitive handicap and CURRENT OPTION gets the nod. While his recent form figures are not as appealing as those possessed by some of these, the 8-y-o is now 2 lb below the mark off which he hit the target at Fairyhouse during the summer and this track should suit him. Goldrush Kid and Dragon of Malta are next on the list (in order of preference), while Mercurial is in with a shout, along with Blue Soul and unexposed maiden winner Una Matata also needs a second look.
Second when attempting to repeat last year's Listowel festival handicap win, DRAGON OF MALTA has sound prospects of going one better
(1) Bama Lama 10/11, Course winner. 7/1, below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 5 days ago. Conditions won't be a problem and she will have every chance if back to her best. Consistent 2024 record includes two wins; has plenty of Windsor form; solid.
4
2nd (4) (7/2 -17%) Firenze Rosa
3.5
7/2(-17%)
(4) Firenze Rosa 7/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in July. Blinkered for 1st time, below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, heavy, 5/1) 4 days ago. Won't have any problem with underfoot conditions but this 9-y-o hasn't been at her best of late. Won a weak race in July; could go well in this uncompetitive affair.
3
3rd (3) (12/1 -100%) Apple A Dey
12
12/1(-100%)
(3) Apple A Dey 12/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 16/1) 12 days ago. Needs to get back on track but her mark is now on the slide and she performed well on her sole previous effort on soft ground in an Irish maiden last season. Has failed to back up her February effort; something to prove.
5
4th (5) (10/1 +0%) Haveagobeau
10
10/1(+0%)
(5) Haveagobeau 10/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Ninth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Bath (5f, soft) 13 days ago and he looks set for another struggle. Ran well over C&D two starts ago but remains an inconsistent maiden.
2
5th (2) (4/1 -78%) Tilsworth Ony Ta
4
4/1(-78%)
(2) Tilsworth Ony Ta 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in July. Fourth of 5 in handicap (5/1) at Brighton (5.3f, good) 27 days ago. Majority of turf form is on good/good to firm but she appeared to handle testing conditions when fourth at Nottingham last autumn, so the forecast soft ground shouldn't be an issue. Has possibilities in this weak contest with Rossa Ryan up for first time.
14:12 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BAMA LAMA wasn't at her best on the testing going last time, but genuine soft ground is not a problem for Rod Millman's mare. Last month's second over course and distance offers encouragement that she'll be winning off her current mark soon and she gets another chance. It was soft underfoot when Firenze Rosa scored at Brighton in July and she's noted along with Tilsworth Ony Ta.
A chance is taken on APPLE A DEY, who has failed to build on the promise of her debut for this yard in two subsequent starts, but she has swiftly dropped 5 lb in the weights and it's worth noting that the best of her three efforts for Henry De Bromhead in Ireland last season was when third in a soft-ground Tipperary maiden. Tilsworth Ony Ta is feared most ahead of Bama Lama.
Off a workable mark and with Rossa Ryan on board, TILSWORTH ONY TA is preferred. Consistent Bama Lama is feared most.
(3) Sutue Alshams 2/1, C&D winner but operating below his best in 2024 and probably best to look elsewhere. He won over C&D last August but has been soundly beaten on all seven starts this year.
1
2nd (1) (6/4 +63%) Bulldog Spirit
1.5
6/4(+63%)
(1) Bulldog Spirit 6/4, Back to winning ways in a Haydock handicap in August. Possibly unsuited by a soft surface when well held at Catterick 12 days ago and capable of bouncing back. Tailed off last time but on soft ground; won Haydock handicap two starts ago.
4
3rd (4) (3/1 +0%) Deauville
3
3/1(+0%)
(4) Deauville 3/1, Fair dual winner over 12.5f in France in 2023. Has a 13-month absence to overcome but decent form shout for a yard which won a course seller with a foreign recruit earlier this month. Two-time French winner but she's making her stable debut after 419 days off.
5
4th (5) (8/1 +68%) Edwina Sheeran
8
8/1(+68%)
(5) Edwina Sheeran 8/1, Had a productive 2023, winning 4 times, but she hasn't fared anywhere near as well in 2024. Drops into a seller now but still hard to be too positive. Four wins last season but she's been below her best this year.
14:20 Musselburgh Seller (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CANNON ROCK failed to land a blow on his hurdle debut at Worcester in July, but he has some solid Flat form to this name, including his second at Kempton in May. If James Owen's four-year-old can run to anything like that form, he could prove very tough to beat. Deauville warrants a market check on her first UK start for the Iain Jardine stable, while Bulldog Spirit looks the pick of the remainder.
CANNON ROCK ran a couple of disappointing races in July but he's a classy sort for a seller and is taken to prove too strong for Iain Jardine's new recruit Deauville.
Preference is for BULLDOG SPIRIT, who won at Haydock in August and may have been unsuited by the soft ground at Catterick recently.
(1) Aotano 9/4, Soldier Hollow gelding. Brother to 2 winners and half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including smart 5f-1m winner abroad Auenperle. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner in France. Wears tongue strap on debut. Should have a big say on debut, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. 110,000euros 2yo; half-brother to a French 1m Group 3 Flat winner.
5
2nd (5) (10/1 -122%) Tashan
10
10/1(-122%)
(5) Tashan 10/1, Golden Horn gelding. Closely related to a winner and half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including fair 1¼m winner Just A Tad. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 1½m. From a shrewd stable so a market move would look significant. 28,000gns yearling; closely related to a fair 12.4f AW winner; market may point the way.
4
3rd (4) (9/4 +44%) Lenjoleur De Palma
2.25
9/4(+44%)
(4) Lenjoleur De Palma 9/4, £20,000 Born To Sea gelding. The betting should help guide to expectations. Second foal from a French AQPS Flat winner; cost £20,000 in May; with up-and-coming yard.
3
4th (3) (2/1 +43%) Crest Of Honour
2
2/1(+43%)
(3) Crest Of Honour 2/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France Holy Child. Likely type for a stable no stranger to success in these races. Half-brother to three French jumps winners; 3yo newcomers from this stable often run well.
2
5th (2) (16/1 -129%) Celestial Ruby
16
16/1(-129%)
(2) Celestial Ruby 16/1, Beaten 55 lengths when second of 3 in a similar race at Stratford on debut last Monday. Achieved very little when remote second in two-finisher race at Stratford last week.
LTO Selection:
14:30 Hereford Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A chance can be taken on CREST OF HONOUR, who changed hands for 29,000 euros and is related to plenty of winners. Jane Williams' three-year-old wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary in order to make a winning debut in this contest. Aotano goes in a tongue-tie on his racecourse debut and he would be of interest if the market speaks in his favour, along with fellow newcomer Lenjoleur De Palma.
A race where the betting should prove informative, with a tentative vote going the way of Irish-raider Aotano ahead of Crest of Honour before any market clues are known.
Crest Of Honour makes appeal on paper but preference is for AOTANO, who has an interesting Flat pedigree.
(9) Pandion Power 7/1, Creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 13 to Private Officer in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 5/1) 11 days ago. Stable in good form. Should continue to give a good account. 12-race maiden, quite closely matched with several of these on recent Bellewstown running.
2
2nd (2) (12/1 -9%) Little Keilee
12
12/1(-9%)
(2) Little Keilee 12/1, Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft, 7/1) 12 days ago. Been shaping up quite well and blinkers are now on. One to consider. Has done plenty of racing since winning at Dundalk last December, blinkers may help.
5
3rd (5) (8/1 -33%) Guest Star
8
8/1(-33%)
(5) Guest Star 8/1, 10/1, creditable length third of 13 to Private Officer in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago. This looks his optimum trip. 22-race maiden, not without a chance following third to Private Officer at Bellewstown.
4
4th (4) (13/2 +7%) Nibras Rainbow
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(4) Nibras Rainbow 13/2, Latest win at Killarney in August. 16/1, creditable fourth of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago, shaed better than the result given he was denied a clear run. Only 4lb higher than for Killarney win in July, pleasing fourth of 28 at the Curragh.
13
5th (13) (25/1 +24%) Rock Dandy
25
25/1(+24%)
(13) Rock Dandy 25/1, C&D winner. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has a lowly mark to exploit when he does fins his form again. C&D winner last season, has suffered a major loss of form this term, back on basement mark.
6
6th (6) (20/1 -25%) The Blue Panther
20
20/1(-25%)
(6) The Blue Panther 20/1, Latest win at Listowel in June. 20½ lengths eleventh of 14 to Cherry Pink in handicap at Bellewstown (8f, good to soft, 15/2) 48 days ago. Blinkers replace usual cheekpieces. Down the field in two runs since 1m Listowel success on seasonal debut, others appeal more.
10
7th (10) (11/1 -10%) Lisabetta
11
11/1(-10%)
(10) Lisabetta 11/1, Respectable third of 16 in handicap at Cork (8f, good to soft, 14/1) 13 days ago, slowly away. 2-28 on turf with both wins gained at Gowran, recent Cork third puts her in the mix.
7
8th (7) (14/1 +44%) Bang Po
14
14/1(+44%)
(7) Bang Po 14/1, 22/1, bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, good) 34 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Must improve on this year's form. Winner on heavy ground late last season, best run this season over C&D, blinkered now.
11
9th (11) (9/1 -64%) Private Officer
9
9/1(-64%)
(11) Private Officer 9/1, 7/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Not yet exposed so 4 lb rise still leaves him competitive. Narrow winner at Bellewstown, only 4lb higher now and softer ground may boost his chance.
14
10th (14) (6/1 +25%) The Dazzer
6
6/1(+25%)
(14) The Dazzer 6/1, Creditable eighth of 28 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm, 20/1) 58 days ago, better placed than most. Over two years since his only win, good AW run in July, fair effort at the Curragh latest.
15
11th (15) (18/1 -125%) Are You In Or Out
18
18/1(-125%)
(15) Are You In Or Out 18/1, 12/1, creditable 1½ lengths fifth of 13 to Private Officer in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago, never nearer. 0-14, best form has been over 1m at Bellewstown, behind three of these last time.
3
12th (3) (11/1 -38%) Cherry Pink
11
11/1(-38%)
(3) Cherry Pink 11/1, Latest win at Laytown in September. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (5/1) at Gowran (8f, good) 23 days ago. In good form before disappointing run at Gowran last time, might prefer better ground.
1
13th (1) (28/1 -56%) Barnhill Rose
28
28/1(-56%)
(1) Barnhill Rose 28/1, C&D winner. 12/1, well-beaten thirteenth of 14 to Cherry Pink in handicap at Bellewstown (8f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form but that heavy defeat needs forgiving. A long way below her best on last four runs but respected on basis of good C&D record.
8
14th (8) (9/1 -13%) Manhattan Dandy
9
9/1(-13%)
(8) Manhattan Dandy 9/1, C&D winner. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft) 12 days ago. Has finished sixth on his last two visits to this track, same place at Gowran last time.
12
15th (12) (22/1 +33%) Draiocht
22
22/1(+33%)
(12) Draiocht 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft, 33/1) 20 days ago. Difficult ask. Weak maiden form, 33-1 when down the field at Listowel in first handicap, up against it.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Recent Bellewstown winner PRIVATE OFFICER can follow up off just 4lb higher. The Johnny Levins-trained three-year-old did very well to win, as he was short of room at a critical point in the race. Staying on strongly once in the clear, the U S Navy Flag gelding should be capable of defying his rise. With the form of her two most recent starts having been boosted in the interim, Lisabetta is a definite contender. Tim Doyle's mare has never won off a mark this high but Wayne Hassett is able to claim a valuable 5lb. Curragh fourth Nibras Rainbow didn't enjoy the run of the race on that occasion, so is another with a strong chance.
LITTLE KEILEE is in better heart than her form figures suggest and the application of blinkers may be just what she needs to regain the winning thread. Private Officer was better than ever when successful last time so she has to be feared, along with Pandion Power.
When scoring at Bellewstown PRIVATE OFFICER had to wait to get into the clear and may confirm form with Guest Star and others
(8) Isabella Castile 11/2, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, third of 4 in conditions stakes at Newbury (7f, good to soft) 24 days ago. This drop back to 6f looks a good move and she's a leading contender here. Both starts at Newbury, better effort when 2l third in conditions race latest; good chance.
4
2nd (4) (28/1 -180%) Bee My Honey
28
28/1(-180%)
(4) Bee My Honey 28/1, Foaled January 13. 40,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Closely related to winner up to 5.3f Broadhaven Honey and half-sister to 3 winners, including 7f winner High Accolade and 7f winner Embarked. Watch the betting for clues. 40,000gns yearling; sibling to four winners; yard has modest strike-rate with 2yos in 2024.
1
3rd (1) (10/1 -150%) Bacor
10
10/1(-150%)
(1) Bacor 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Ripon in June. Bit below form third of 9 in novice (7/2) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) when last seen in July. Should go well if handling conditions but may prove vulnerable under a penalty. Off since July; one of the main players on best 5f form, namely soft-ground win at Ripon.
7
4th (7) (200/1 -203%) Fiery Angel
200
200/1(-203%)
(7) Fiery Angel 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 11 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 7 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Hard to warm to. Combination of new surface and hood needs to make a difference.
2
5th (2) (12/1 +64%) All Too Beautiful
12
12/1(+64%)
(2) All Too Beautiful 12/1, Foaled April 10. Bated Breath filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 5.5f Got To Love A Grey and 1m-10.5f winner Doctor Ron, both useful. Entitled to come on for the run. Bated Breath half-sister to four winners; stable is only 1-18 with 2yos this term.
5
6th (5) (25/1 -257%) Bintshuaa
25
25/1(-257%)
(5) Bintshuaa 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/2, fifth of 7 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and she needs to find some improvement. Modest effort last time; fitting of tongue-tie is a possible source of improvement.
11
7th (11) (8/11 +71%) Rikissa
0.727273
8/11(+71%)
(11) Rikissa 8/11, Once-raced maiden. Third of 11 in maiden at Newbury (7f, soft, 7/4) on debut 39 days ago. Hails from a yard in fine form, including with its 2-y-os, and she is very high on the list with improvement likely down in trip here. Related to two useful mudlarks; duly showed promise in soft-ground event at Newbury.
13
8th (13) (16/1 +20%) Terramindar
16
16/1(+20%)
(13) Terramindar 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 18/1, eighth of 13 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f) 16 days ago. It will likely be in handicaps where she is seen in a better light. Needs to improve a good deal on her 7f AW efforts.
3
9th (3) (100/1 -52%) Apple's Angel
100
100/1(-52%)
(3) Apple's Angel 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in novice at this course (5.1f, good, 50/1) 28 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps later on. Ran to a meagre RPR here last time.
6
10th (6) (100/1 -100%) Dreambird Dolly
100
100/1(-100%)
(6) Dreambird Dolly 100/1, Foaled March 3. Tasleet filly. Dam winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f/5.3f winner). Yard rarely strikes with 2-y-o newcomers and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion. Debutante who is from a family that has served her trainer well; check the betting.
12
11th (12) (5/1 +29%) Sychell
5
5/1(+29%)
(12) Sychell 5/1, Foaled March 25. Kodiac filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 8.6f Yonafis and useful winner up to 1¼m Nearooz. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner). Appealing on paper and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. Kodiac half-sister to four winners; a few of her relatives scored on debut; interesting.
9
12th (9) (200/1 -203%) Leading Star Girl
200
200/1(-203%)
(9) Leading Star Girl 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in novice at Kempton (6f, 125/1) on debut in May. Readily passed over. Absent since her inauspicious effort at Kempton five months ago.
10
13th (10) (28/1 -100%) On A Vespa
28
28/1(-100%)
(10) On A Vespa 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 66/1) 60 days ago. Another who will be of greater interest in handicaps in due course. Latest effort suggests this return to 6f will suit; could go well.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Bacor carries a penalty for making all over the minimum trip at Ripon in June. Another bold bid from the front looks likely, but ISABELLA CASTILE makes more appeal. Jack Channon's filly ran out of steam in the closing stages when third over 7f at Newbury and returns to this shorter trip with solid claims. Bintshuaa may improve fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time, while All Too Beautiful and Sychell are newcomers to note.
The early signs are that it was a decent Newbury maiden in which RIKISSA was third on debut last month and, with this drop to 6f unlikely to be an issue and improvement on the cards, she looks the way to go with her yard in fine form. Isabella Castile left her debut form behind when third in a four-runner conditions race at that Berkshire venue and she is feared most ahead of newcomer Sychell and the penalised Bacor.
Attractively bred newcomer SYCHELL gets the vote. Rikissa has to be feared, especially granted muddy conditions.
(2) South Parade 9/4, Breakthrough success came in a 13-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in August and has followed that with 3 good placed efforts. Drawn near the rail. Big player. Has continued in good form since Thirsk win in August and can play a leading role.
4
2nd (4) (11/1 -144%) Glory Hyde
11
11/1(-144%)
(4) Glory Hyde 11/1, Latest win at Beverley in July and creditable placed efforts there on both outings since. In the mix if a low stall isn't too big an inconvenience. Two 5f wins this summer; can be a contender once more if stall two isn't an issue.
1
3rd (1) (15/2 +63%) Good Point
7.5
15/2(+63%)
(1) Good Point 15/2, Eighth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago, weakening when hampered. On a dangerous mark but needs to bounce back from disappointing latest run at Beverley.
12
4th (12) (9/1 +10%) Wee Fat Mac
9
9/1(+10%)
(12) Wee Fat Mac 9/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 5/1) 14 days ago. Poor strike-rate on turf but in good form and effective here; can be in the mix.
7
5th (7) (11/1 +8%) Classy Al
11
11/1(+8%)
(7) Classy Al 11/1, Tricky customer. Visored first time, twentieth of 24 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. On a handy mark on this season's best efforts but down the field on his last three starts.
5
6th (5) (5/1 +0%) Albegone
5
5/1(+0%)
(5) Albegone 5/1, Won this race 12 months ago and arrives in form again, finishing runner-up 4 times in his last 6 starts. Should go well in this race again. Won this last year and he arrives in good form; on the shortlist.
9
7th (9) (12/1 -140%) Inanna
12
12/1(-140%)
(9) Inanna 12/1, Has 2 wins and 3 seconds to show from her last 5 starts. No reason why she won't figure prominently again. Has done very well since joining this yard; still mileage in her mark judged on old form.
10
8th (10) (17/2 +66%) Callianassa
8.5
17/2(+66%)
(10) Callianassa 17/2, Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 4 days ago. Visor on first time. This long-standing maiden may have to wait a bit longer for a first win. She continues to drop down the weights but needs something extra in the first-time visor.
11
9th (11) (8/1 +33%) Ghathanfar
8
8/1(+33%)
(11) Ghathanfar 8/1, Course winner. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Catterick (6f, firm) 56 days ago. Others are preferred. Well treated on form from earlier in season but not at same level in second half of summer.
3
10th (3) (100/1 -300%) B Associates
100
100/1(-300%)
(3) B Associates 100/1, Course winner. Three wins from 14 runs this year but below par at Newcastle 13 days ago on first start for the Micky Hammond yard. Hard to knock his strike-rate but well beaten last time and his wins have come at 6f/7f.
8
11th (8) (66/1 -164%) Zaphea
66
66/1(-164%)
(8) Zaphea 66/1, C&D winner in May. Added 2 more Hamilton wins over the summer but has gone off the boil more recently. Three wins this season (including C&D) but last four performances have been substandard.
14:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SOUTH PARADE finished a close-up third in a stronger event at Chester last month and the handicapper might have been kind to leave his mark alone for that performance. Richard Fahey's three-year-old will appreciate this drop in grade and she could be the one to beat. Zuffolo has to be considered after his triumph at Redcar on his latest outing, while the in-form Inanna is another to watch out for.
A few in-form sprinters clash here, with Richard Fahey 3-y-o SOUTH PARADE taken to resume winning ways from a handy draw. Last year's winner Albegone has a string of good efforts in defeat in recent months and is second choice ahead of Inanna and Zuffolo, who has had a productive spell since blinkered.
The 3yo SOUTH PARADE arrives in fine form and could enjoy the run of the race from her high draw. She gets the nod ahead of Inanna.
(8) Gris Majeur 6/1, C&D winner who was second in March 2023 but wasn't seen again until finishing a remote seventh at Worcester a month ago, considerately handled. Entitled to come on for the outing but a leap faith required to back him. C&D winner in 2022; probably needed last month's reappearance run; worth a second look.
7
2nd (7) (4/1 -100%) Baskerville
4
4/1(-100%)
(7) Baskerville 4/1, Confirmed promise of previous run when winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) in June, kept up to work. Improved again when third on handicap debut at Market Rasen and this trip may unlock more. Close third over 2m on handicap debut in July and open to improvement now upped in trip.
5
3rd (5) (9/2 +36%) Haas Boy
4.5
9/2(+36%)
(5) Haas Boy 9/2, Failed to meet market expectations several times last season for Charlie Longsdon. Since joined another good yard and he's well weighted if revived by a change of scenery. Inconsistent over last two seasons but makes stable debut from workable mark; shortlisted.
3
4th (3) (4/1 +20%) The Height Of Fame
4
4/1(+20%)
(3) The Height Of Fame 4/1, 7-y-o mare who enhanced healthy strike rate in handicaps at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in July. Up 5 lb, again ran well when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good) but latest rise in the weights seemed to find her out at Fontwell. Returned from layoff with two good summer runs; ground the excuse last time.
4
5th (4) (4/1 +50%) Magic Seven
4
4/1(+50%)
(4) Magic Seven 4/1, Dual-course winner over 19.7f this time last year but essentially disappointing in handicaps since. May strip fitter for August's return to action. Dual course winner last November and returns here on a good mark; interesting.
6
6th (6) (18/1 -50%) Sambezi
18
18/1(-50%)
(6) Sambezi 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler who took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Warwick in April. Pulled up at Fontwell a month later and off since but he's back on his last winning mark. Off since poor run in May but at least he's back down to a workable mark now.
1
|PU| (1) (17/2 -278%) Galata Bridge
8.5
17/2(-278%)
(1) Galata Bridge 17/2, Better than ever this summer, overcoming mistakes when adding to his tally at Perth (20f) in July and matching that form from a 6 lb higher mark when runner-up at Uttoxeter (23.3f), Backward step at Worcester but given a break and he can make his presence felt. Worcester last time was a shade disappointing but he was in very good form beforehand.
2
|PU| (2) (20/1 +0%) Donnie Azoff
20
20/1(+0%)
(2) Donnie Azoff 20/1, Form this season has a patchy look to, making a winning reappearance at Stratford in June and runner-up at Uttoxeter a month later along with a trio of lesser efforts (all around 2m). Up in trip but he stays this far. Placed off this mark since Stratford win in June but form has dipped lately.
15:00 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having posted a close-up third on his handicap bow over an extended 2m at Market Rasen in July, compensation could be heading in BASKERVILLE's direction. Alan King's gelding is bred to relish this extended 2m5f distance and a second victory of the season may beckon. Galata Bridge was disappointing when a well-beaten fourth at Worcester in August, but better is expected dropping into class 4 company. The seven-year-old is feared most, ahead of Sambezi.
BASKERVILLE is going the right way over hurdles and with this trip promising to suit coupled with a conditional taking off a valuable 10 lb, he could be the answer. Galata Bridge is a solid opponent, while Haas Boy is interesting on return for his new stable.
A long way clear of the others when second to a subsequent Punchestown festival winner at Wincanton in February, HAAS BOY gets the nod.
(6) Breezy Zoff 11/2, One win from 34 Flat runs. Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft) 12 days ago but had been in reasonable form prior to that. Only one win from 34 starts but still appeals more than most in a race of modest standard.
5

4/1(+50%)
(5) Asisaid 4/1, 11/2, first run since leaving P. J. F. Murphy when bit below form sixth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, good) 34 days ago. Won twice on testing ground last season, could feature after pleasing run on stable debut.
4
3rd (4) (4/1 -45%) Skontonovski
4
4/1(-45%)
(4) Skontonovski 4/1, 8/1, improved on recent efforts to easily win 14-runner handicap at Thurles (8.2f, good) 4 days ago. Good chance under a penalty if in similar form. Turns out four days after a comfortable win at Thurles, obvious chance despite 7lb penalty.
13
4th (13) (7/2 +13%) Superior Council
3.5
7/2(+13%)
(13) Superior Council 7/2, 14/1, good third of 18 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Back up in trip. On the shortlist. Took a step in the right direction when third of 18 at Navan last week, worth considering.
1
5th (1) (8/1 -33%) Wrist Art
8
8/1(-33%)
(1) Wrist Art 8/1, 11/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago, not ideally placed. Chance if rediscovering old form. Won twice last autumn and is suited by soft ground, needs to improve on recent form.
11
6th (11) (25/1 -56%) Thegooseiscooked
25
25/1(-56%)
(11) Thegooseiscooked 25/1, 125/1, first run since leaving Anthony Mullins when fifth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 17 days ago, never nearer. Off for more than two years before an encouraging recent run at Dundalk, could go well.
8
7th (8) (80/1 -21%) Hasiyna
80
80/1(-21%)
(8) Hasiyna 80/1, 80/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Down Royal (7.1f, soft) 14 days ago. Fair maiden form for Dermot Weld last season, regressive this year, much reduced mark.
12
8th (12) (80/1 -142%) Man Is King
80
80/1(-142%)
(12) Man Is King 80/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 80/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, heavy). Off 6 months. Never better than sixth in 21 races, tailed off at Leopardstown in April, can be ruled out.
3
9th (3) (11/1 -100%) Lauroline
11
11/1(-100%)
(3) Lauroline 11/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 5/1), missing break. Off 94 days. More than capable off this mark if close to her best and Colin Keane has been booked. 17-race maiden has been placed nine times most recently four starts ago, others preferred.
2
10th (2) (12/1 -50%) Land Lover
12
12/1(-50%)
(2) Land Lover 12/1, 25/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 17 days ago, not clear run. Back up in trip. Early-season winner at Sligo and now back on the same mark, modest form last three starts.
9
11th (9) (20/1 -25%) Sayfa Fad
20
20/1(-25%)
(9) Sayfa Fad 20/1, Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 10/1) 11 days ago. Best effort when sixth at Dundalk on penultimate start, plenty of improvement needed.
10
12th (10) (80/1 -21%) Time Out
80
80/1(-21%)
(10) Time Out 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixteenth of 17 in handicap (66/1) at Navan (10.2f, good) 37 days ago. Back down in trip. Last of 11 on handicap debut at Naas in July, only one behind her at Navan last month.
15
13th (15) (16/1 -33%) Marvellous Lady
16
16/1(-33%)
(15) Marvellous Lady 16/1, Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Never better than sixth in nine outings, not beaten far in that position at Bellewstown.
7
14th (7) (33/1 +50%) Kami
33
33/1(+50%)
(7) Kami 33/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap (125/1) at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 21 days ago, slowly away. Sligo win last season came out of the blue, very hard to make a case for her.
14
15th (14) (50/1 0%) It's A Gamble
50
50/1(0%)
(14) It's A Gamble 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 66/1) 9 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Has failed to beat a single rival in her two handicap attempts, new headgear tried.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Given the manner in which he bolted up at Thurles on Thursday, SKONTONOVSKI is hard to oppose. Clearly well handicapped relative to his all-weather form, the Ado McGuinness-trained gelding travelled strongly before quickening clear of his rivals. Under a mandatory 7lb penalty, the son of Harbour Watch should make it back-to-back wins. Superior Council ran very well when third over an inadequate trip at Navan last time. Back over 7f on easier ground, the Johnny Levins-trained gelding should be competitive. Dual winner Wrist Art should find this easier having shaped with promise in slightly higher grades recently. Tim Doyle's gelding should be helped by his riders claim.
SKONTONOVSKI had plenty to spare at Thurles last Thursday and a 7 lb penalty may not stop him if in similar form. Superior Council is another who arrives on the back of a good run last week, while the booking of Colin Keane suggests that Lauroline might be primed to go well back from 3 months off.
It is hard to look beyond SKONTONOVSKI (nap) who routed his rivals at Thurles last week and is below his AW rating even with 7lb extra.
(3) Balmoral Lady 11/4, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft, 15/2) 13 days ago. 3 lb nudge fair enough and she's likely to make her presence felt once again. Only made her debut in May; has won two of her last five races; can improve again.
4
2nd (4) (9/1 -50%) Kiss And Run
9
9/1(-50%)
(4) Kiss And Run 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Goodwood in August. 6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, good) 30 days ago. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Faustus. Twice beaten since Goodwood win and has no margin for error off this mark.
7
3rd (7) (16/1 -256%) Four Adaay
16
16/1(-256%)
(7) Four Adaay 16/1, 10/3, won 7-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 31 days ago. 5 lb rise means that more will be needed but she's largely reliable and should again run her race. Seventh career success when overcoming some trouble to win narrowly at Sandown.
8
4th (8) (11/2 +75%) Punchbowl Flyer
5.5
11/2(+75%)
(8) Punchbowl Flyer 11/2, Course winner. Twenty-six runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Likely to struggle once more. Stuck on a losing run and should have run better last time at Pontefract.
5
5th (5) (11/4 +31%) Thankuappreciate
2.75
11/4(+31%)
(5) Thankuappreciate 11/4, One win from 24 Flat runs, which was gained back in 2022. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Chester (5.5f, soft) 23 days ago and another bold show is anticipated. Never won a handicap but nearly put that right last time at Chester on good to soft.
2
6th (2) (9/2 +31%) Faustus
4.5
9/2(+31%)
(2) Faustus 9/2, Latest win at Newbury in August. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good, 14/1) 9 days ago. Now 1 lb lower in a lower-grade handicap and conditions won't be an issue, so he's dangerous to discount. Good start for this yard until below par last time at Ascot and that was in a better race.
6
7th (6) (12/1 -167%) Level Up
12
12/1(-167%)
(6) Level Up 12/1, Three wins from 16 runs this year, the latest at Salisbury in August. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Bath (5f, good) 30 days ago. Merits consideration. Consistent; narrowly gave best to a well-handicapped winner at Bath a month ago.
1
8th (1) (25/1 -108%) Jacquelina
25
25/1(-108%)
(1) Jacquelina 25/1, C&D winner. 6 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win at Chepstow in June. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) 9 days ago. She has enjoyed a terrific campaign but the handicapper may have caught up with her. Has climbed the weights for winning Class 6s but this is easier than at Ascot last time.
15:12 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A high draw can be helpful here on soft ground and if that holds true, then BALMORAL LADY has to be of interest. A winner on heavy ground at Bath last time, she has been upped 3lb for that but may be the best suited to the conditions. Jacquelina drops in class after an 11th at Ascot and cannot be overlooked, but Four Adaay is the bigger danger under Neil Callan.
THANKUAPPRECIATE has yet to add to his 2-y-o Ripon novice success but he appears ready to put that right judged on last month's near-miss off a similar mark at Chester. He is proven on slow ground and was a good second on his sole previous visit here. Faustus and Level Up rate the main dangers in that order of preference, while last-time-out winners Balmoral Lady and Four Adaay also merit respect in this competitive contest.
Most of these have chances but BALMORAL LADY (nap) only made her debut in May and won in the manner of an improver at Bath.
(6) Reel Her In 6/4, Just second start for this yard when reeling in Rory The Cat near the finish in a 1¾m course handicap 12 days ago. Only nudged up 1 lb and there should be more to come back up at 2m. Hard to beat. Fast-finishing 1m6f winner here recently; could relish today's extra yardage.
2
2nd (2) (7/1 -56%) Pons Aelius
7
7/1(-56%)
(2) Pons Aelius 7/1, Latest win at Beverley in August. 4/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (2m) 13 days ago, well positioned. In-and-out profile but he won at Beverley in August and he's not discounted.
7
3rd (7) (200/1 -100%) Star Of Markinch
200
200/1(-100%)
(7) Star Of Markinch 200/1, Has largely struggled for form this year, beaten 17¼ lengths when fifth of 7 to Reel Her In here 12 days ago. Longstanding maiden who is hard to fancy.
5
4th (5) (16/1 -60%) Spantik
16
16/1(-60%)
(5) Spantik 16/1, 33/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (2m, good to soft) 16 days ago but had been runner-up there prior to that. Good second at Ripon in August and soft going excuses his subsequent flop there.
4
5th (4) (10/3 -21%) Rory The Cat
3.333333
10/3(-21%)
(4) Rory The Cat 10/3, Course winner. 11/4, creditable neck second of 7 to Reel Her In in 1¾m course handicap 12 days ago. Can give another good account. Two big runs over 1m6f here, sandwiched by fading sixth at 2m2f; can be hope 2m will suit.
1
6th (1) (9/2 +0%) Animato
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(1) Animato 9/2, Course winner. 14/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (17f, good to firm) 25 days ago, weakening final 1f. Return to a sharp 2m should suit and he has a bit of class for a 0-70. Soundly beaten at Pontefract latest but on a handy mark on his May wins and not ruled out.
3
7th (3) (7/1 +36%) Achnamara
7
7/1(+36%)
(3) Achnamara 7/1, Unreliable type but did win back to back in July, latterly over C&D. Two lesser runs have followed, though. Completed double with C&D win in July but well beaten the last twice.
15:20 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having stayed on to overtake reopposing rival Rory The Cat in the shadows of the post over 1m6f here 12 days ago, another bold showing is forecast from REEL HER IN. Ben Haslam's filly is only 1lb higher and stepping back up in trip holds no fear. The aforementioned Rory The Cat is sure to give another good fist of things racing off an unchanged mark. The four-year-old is feared most, ahead of Pons Aelius.
REEL HER IN won despite the drop to 1¾m here last time and can follow up with the return to 2m very much in her favour. Rory The Cat was second to the selection on that occasion and can fill the forecast spot again ahead of Animato.
The lightly raced 4yo REEL HER IN caught Rory The Cat in the final strides over 1m6f here recently and she can follow up.
(4) Mistymal 15/8, Irish point winner who posted his best effort on his handicap debut when second of 8 at Southwell (20.4f, soft) in January. In nothing like the same form at Fakenham/Bangor since and makes reappearance/chase debut. Placed on only one of six hurdling starts but may fare better now chasing.
3
2nd (3) (9/2 -13%) Selectivelistening
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(3) Selectivelistening 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden who took a step forward when second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell in August. Sent off favourite but was possibly amiss back there (17.7f, good) a month later and now attentions are turned to the larger obstacles markedly upped in trip. 0-6 over hurdles but ran well two starts ago; could have a say if he takes to fences.
6
3rd (6) (14/1 -75%) Radharc Na Slaine
14
14/1(-75%)
(6) Radharc Na Slaine 14/1, Been going the right way in Newton Abbot handicap chases and would have made the frame again but for a luckless late exit in August. Hooded and found recent run of form coming to a halt away from that venue at Fontwell last time so no surprise to see headgear discarded. Posted some good efforts at Newton Abbot this summer but was pulled up on latest outing.
5
4th (5) (9/1 +25%) No Promises
9
9/1(+25%)
(5) No Promises 9/1, Point winner. Tried in cheekpieces/tongue tie and showed his first form under Rules from 9 lb out of the weights when third in 27.5f Stratford handicap chase in August. Went a long way to confirming that form when fourth at Hexham earlier this month so he's no forlorn hope. Belied 50-1 odds when placed at Stratford in August and enters calculations here.
2
|PU| (2) (10/3 -67%) Invictus Allen
3.333333
10/3(-67%)
(2) Invictus Allen 10/3, Strong in the market and came good in 10-runner Uttoxeter handicap chase (3¼m, soft) in July. Shaped as if still in good form back under less testing conditions 8 weeks later when a remote third at Fontwell (26f, good) last month and he's fancied to be bang there. Battled well for Uttoxeter win in July and last month's third was perfectly respectable.
1
|PU| (1) (14/1 -250%) Annie Wicks
14
14/1(-250%)
(1) Annie Wicks 14/1, Well held completed starts over hurdles but proved a different proposition on second chase start when landing mares' handicap at Taunton (21.7f, soft) in March. Collared only in the run-in over C&D next start but possibly amiss when last seen at Southwell (24.3f, good) 4 months ago. Absent since pulled up in June but a leading contender if judged on two runs prior to that.
7
|PU| (7) (15/2 +6%) If I Say
7.5
15/2(+6%)
(7) If I Say 15/2, Placed several times over fences in 2023 but has struggled since returning to hurdles, finishing a remote fifth at Fontwell last time. Much-reduced mark to work with and needs the switch back to fences to spark a revival. Ren well to a point over hurdles last month but it's over two year since her only win.
8
|PU| (8) (40/1 +20%) Fox Wallace
40
40/1(+20%)
(8) Fox Wallace 40/1, Tailed off in a bumper and 3 hurdles last season. Showed nothing hiked up in trip on return/handicap debut (hooded and had a wind op) in July and can only be watched on chase debut. Pulled up when 33-1 for handicap hurdle debut in July; now makes her chasing debut.
15:30 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although pulled up on her outing at Southwell in June, ANNIE WICKS had been progressive before that disappointment. Evan Williams' mare had previously posted a solid second over C&D and she can get back on track returning to a right-handed course. Invictus Allen is another who should have more to come over fences and the six-year-old is also forecast to feature. Chase debutant Selectivelistening is up markedly in distance and he may fare best of the remainder.
An open staying handicap chase with marginal preference for INVICTUS ALLEN, who opened his account at Uttoxeter in July and shaped as if still in good order when third at Fontwell just over 5 weeks ago. Selectivelistening was possibly amiss last time, but he would be a major threat judged on some of his earlier exploits now sent chasing so heads up the dangers, with Radharc Na Slaine and No Promises also not discounted, too.
She was not herself last time but ANNIE WICKS get the nod in the hope she can recapture her good form from the spring.
(1) Firebrand 10/3, Fairly useful gelding. Bit below form seventh of 12 in minor event (22/1) at Galway (8.4f, good) 34 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Well beaten in a rated race on first run since second in a maiden at Sligo in May.
3
2nd (3) (7/4 +36%) Babich
1.75
7/4(+36%)
(3) Babich 7/4, Went close on debut in May. Failed to build on that it 2 outings in June but returns from a break with her yard in good form. Considered. Failed to deliver when favourite at Ballinrobe in June, debut effort was promising.
4
3rd (4) (7/2 +22%) Coul Dreamer
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(4) Coul Dreamer 7/2, Fairly useful form. Fourth of 14 in maiden (10/1) at Punchestown (9.2f, good) 27 days ago. T Needs to find extra to beat four higher-rated rivals though there is not much between them.
5
4th (5) (5/2 -33%) Newtown Duke
2.5
5/2(-33%)
(5) Newtown Duke 5/2, Thrice-raced colt. Only fourth when favourite at Leopardstown last time but shaped well on first 2 starts and might be worth another chance. Tongue strap on 1st time. Leopardstown fourth was not as good as his first two runs, extra two furlongs may suit.
6
5th (6) (33/1 +0%) Tassarolo
33
33/1(+0%)
(6) Tassarolo 33/1, 2,000 gns 3-y-o, Farhh gelding. Closely related to several winners, including high-class French/Australian 1m-1½m winner Avilius. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 8.2f winner). Closely related to Pattern winners in France and Australia, cheap Godolphin cast-off.
7
6th (7) (200/1 -203%) Sea Of Moyle
200
200/1(-203%)
(7) Sea Of Moyle 200/1, Thrice-raced filly. Last of 14 in maiden (200/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) 86 days ago. Significantly up in trip. No sign of ability in three races over different trips, can be left out of calculations.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
With an official rating of 81, NEWTOWN DUKE should be able to register a first win. The Dermot Weld-trained colt finished runner-up on his racecourse debut at Limerick in July, before running third at Galway the following month. Although a beaten favourite at Leopardstown when last seen, the son of Lope De Vega deserves another chance. Gavin Cromwell's Babich rates the main threat to the selection. Having just lost out by a head on his debut, the gelding ran respectably in a decent sales race before disappointing at Ballinrobe last time. Former bumper winner Mazyad ran well enough when runner-up on the Flat at Galway to suggest he can also be involved in this open contest.
Another chance is given to NEWTOWN DUKE with a tongue tie added. Babich could provide the main threat if bouncing back to the level of his debut second. Mazyad is also respected but this shorter trip isn't sure to see him in his best light.
Slight preference is for NEWTOWN DUKE who needs to recapture the form of his first two runs following a tame effort at Leopardstown
(1) Artavian 7/4, Good second of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, good, 10/1) 28 days ago. Likely to make a bold bid to go one better, provided the forecast slower ground doesn't hinder him. Eight-race maiden; went close in higher grade here most recently; possibilities.
8
2nd (8) (9/1 +25%) Spook
9
9/1(+25%)
(8) Spook 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, first run since leaving Charlie Johnston when ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 30 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred. Five-race maiden; may benefit from the return to turf; second run for new yard.
6
3rd (6) (6/1 +14%) Lhebayeb
6
6/1(+14%)
(6) Lhebayeb 6/1, Course winner. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft, 16/1) 13 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Down to a workable mark and she looks competitive on form. Clear signs of a return to form last time; won off 4lb higher here last October.
12
4th (12) (7/1 +42%) Endofastorm
7
7/1(+42%)
(12) Endofastorm 7/1, Latest win at Bath in September. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Bath (13f, soft) 13 days ago. One to consider. Respectable form at Bath of late; in the mix, provided she takes to Windsor.
2
5th (2) (8/1 -60%) Fravanco
8
8/1(-60%)
(2) Fravanco 8/1, 11/4, won 11-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) 24 days ago, better placed than most. 0-7 on turf and he looks vulnerable under these conditions off a 4 lb higher mark. No certainty to follow up his Kempton AW win, with turf record far from solid.
3
6th (3) (28/1 -100%) Anisoptera
28
28/1(-100%)
(3) Anisoptera 28/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 8/1) 19 days ago. Down in trip and she's essentially opposable returned to turf. All wins over 2m on AW; not the percentage call in this scenario.
5
7th (5) (22/1 +45%) Dubai Harbour
22
22/1(+45%)
(5) Dubai Harbour 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip and this 4-y-o needs to take a step forward. Chance depends on whether he improves for new trip.
10
8th (10) (17/2 -21%) Galactic Glow
8.5
17/2(-21%)
(10) Galactic Glow 17/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Blinkers back on and can make his presence felt. On a 17-race losing run but is running respectably at present.
7
9th (7) (8/1 +60%) Snapius
8
8/1(+60%)
(7) Snapius 8/1, Visored for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Bath (13f, soft) 13 days ago. Hard to fancy in current form. Has achieved little in two runs for new yard; well treated on best Irish form.
13
10th (13) (18/1 -64%) Miss Harmony
18
18/1(-64%)
(13) Miss Harmony 18/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 34 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time visor sparking a return to form. 0-6 and inconsistent this year; new headgear needs to help.
14
11th (14) (66/1 -32%) Perla Marina
66
66/1(-32%)
(14) Perla Marina 66/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 125/1) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she looks set for another struggle. Poor chance on her form over shorter.
15:42 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Fravanco is an obvious option having won last time at Kempton, but he has never placed on turf which has to be a concern. Lhebayeb makes the shortlist having won here on heavy ground over shorter and over this trip at Bath, but ENDOFASTORM is preferred. Third at Bath last time out over further, she has a distance win to her name and seems to handle the ground.
The vote goes to GALACTIC GLOW, who has returned to form of late and he wasn't beaten at all far when fourth over 1¼m at Bath last month. Most of his form has come on good/good to firm but he proved that slow ground holds no terrors for him when runner-up at Nottingham during the spring. Artavian, who was a good second here last month, and Lhebayeb may emerge as the main dangers, while the maiden Change of Fortune also needs considering.
On the back of his good second in a higher grade, ARTAVIAN may well go one better. Lhebayeb is second choice.
(6) Rock Melody 20/1, More miss than hit since a 6f Hamilton win in August but the fact she won this race off a 4 lb higher mark last year makes her a dangerous one to discount. Won this last year, and some good form this August; however, patchy more recently.
2
2nd (2) (9/2 -50%) Rockymountainway
4.5
9/2(-50%)
(2) Rockymountainway 9/2, Progressive since handicapping, finding a chunk of improvement when scoring by 5 lengths at Carlisle (7f, soft) last time. That resulted in an 11 lb rise but she could easily have more to offer. Won by 5l at Carlisle last time; up 11lb but could still be ahead of the handicapper.
5
3rd (5) (9/1 +36%) Princess Alex
9
9/1(+36%)
(5) Princess Alex 9/1, Below-form sixth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Returned to form when second at Beverley last month but soundly beaten at Newmarket since.
3
4th (3) (9/4 +50%) Mereside Diva
2.25
9/4(+50%)
(3) Mereside Diva 9/4, Course winner. Five wins from 18 Flat runs. Latest win at Thirsk in June. 11/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Should give another good account. Wins in May/June and she's gone close the last twice; could be bang there.
8
5th (8) (18/5 -20%) Come On You Spurs
3.6
18/5(-20%)
(8) Come On You Spurs 18/5, On a hat-trick after soft-ground wins over 7f at Sandown and Epsom last month. Arrives on hat-trick; likely to be on better ground today but still entitled to respect.
4
6th (4) (33/1 -267%) Powdering
33
33/1(-267%)
(4) Powdering 33/1, Four wins in April/May. Bounced back from a couple of lesser runs when third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.5f, good to soft) 20 days ago, running on. Four wins this year, and back on song when third at Beverley latest; not discounted.
1
7th (1) (13/2 +41%) Nibras Angel
6.5
13/2(+41%)
(1) Nibras Angel 13/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 22/1) 9 days ago, running on. Looks competitive on form. Returned to form when third at Newmarket recently and could be in the shake-up..
7
8th (7) (10/1 -150%) Eminent Jewel
10
10/1(-150%)
(7) Eminent Jewel 10/1, Made it 2-3 for the year when leading late on at Newcastle (7f) 34 days ago. Quite well on top at the line and a 4 lb rise may not stop a filly who is fresh for this stage of the season. Lightly raced 3yo who is 2-3 this year and firmly in calculations.
15:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
ROCKYMOUNTAINWAY was quite taking when drawing clear of her rivals by five lengths at Carlisle in August. Although the handicapper has reacted by hiking the three-year-old 11lb up in the ratings, she may find enough improvement to complete a double. Eminent Jewel was a comfortable winner on the all-weather at Newcastle last month and she rates an obvious threat off a 4lb higher mark. The hat-trick seeking Come On You Spurs completes the shortlist.
Perhaps best to focus on the 3-y-os, with EMINENT JEWEL selected to take another step forward and prove too strong for Rockymountainway and the hat-trick seeking Come On You Spurs.
The lightly raced EMINENT JEWEL is a 3yo on the up and she deserves extra credit for her big-field win at Newcastle last month.
(1) Craven Bay 11/4, Resumed his progress on his first run since leaving Lawney Hill when readily landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (26f, good) 20 days ago. Up 4 lb but looks the one to beat. 4lb rise very fair for recent successful stable debut in a 3m2f Warwick handicap.
6
2nd (6) (7/2 +42%) Wot You Wearing
3.5
7/2(+42%)
(6) Wot You Wearing 7/2, A dual winner at Chepstow in November and largely in good form after. Off 8 months but can't be discounted stepping up in trip. In career-best form last season when very progressive; can be forgiven his final blip.
8
3rd (8) (5/1 0%) Honey I'm Good
5
5/1(0%)
(8) Honey I'm Good 5/1, Resumed winning ways at Stratford in August and backed it up with a good second of 10 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good) 24 days ago. Not taken lightly reverted to this sphere. Running well in staying chases and now looks to exploit her lower mark over hurdles.
7
4th (7) (12/1 +0%) Faded Fantasy
12
12/1(+0%)
(7) Faded Fantasy 12/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 and he came in last of 7 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Warwick (26f, good) 20 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won a 2m4f maiden in 2023; 0-13 in the meantime and looks harder to predict by the race.
4
5th (4) (14/1 -320%) Shaving
14
14/1(-320%)
(4) Shaving 14/1, Much improved when fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Worcester (23f, good, 100/1) 33 days ago, well positioned. Much respected on her handicap hurdle debut with few miles on the clock. Improved 4th last time and goes handicapping unexposed as a stayer.
2
6th (2) (8/1 +50%) Mourzouk
8
8/1(+50%)
(2) Mourzouk 8/1, 18/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to firm) 16 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Needs considering now his stamina is drawn out more. Stamina to prove at this trip but it was a good run last time over an inadequate 2m2f.
5
7th (5) (17/2 +15%) The Wise Traveller
8.5
17/2(+15%)
(5) The Wise Traveller 17/2, Scored at Fakenham in April. In need of the run after 3 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Can take a step forward. Could have run better after a break 11 days ago having gone well fresh in the past.
3
8th (3) (11/2 +54%) Ben Lilly
5.5
11/2(+54%)
(3) Ben Lilly 11/2, 50/1 and tongue strap on/cheekpieces, only seventh of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good) 41 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles with work to do. Seven-time Flat winner who won a couple of hurdles last year on slow and good ground.
16:00 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WOT YOU WEARING was likely feeling the effects of a long campaign when finishing in seventh at Kempton on February and he may be able to resume his progress on the back of a 248-day layoff. Robert Stephens' gelding was unlucky to bump into the rapidly-improving Gyllen on two occasions last season and he is marginally preferred to Craven Bay, who made a winning stable debut at Warwick last month. Honey I'm Good completes the shortlist.
CRAVEN BAY got back on the up on his debut for Toby Lawes when a comfortable scorer at Warwick and a 4 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Honey I'm Good arrives in great nick from chasing so could emerge as the main danger back over the smaller obstacles. Mourzouk and Shaving also need factoring into this competitive handicap too.
Craven Bay has to give a lot of weight to HONEY I'M GOOD who has been in good form over fences and is rated lower in this sphere.
(1) The Waiting Game 15/2, Good close third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 4/1) 16 days ago. Likely to continue in form. All five wins have been on AW and he went close at Chelmsford latest; respected.
2
2nd (2) (2/1 +60%) Valtellina
2
2/1(+60%)
(2) Valtellina 2/1, Course winner. 5/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, firm) 26 days ago, just lacking the speed of the first 2 at the business end. Best at 7f. Course winner who has been reliable this season and is unexposed at this trip; shortlisted.
5
3rd (5) (16/5 +47%) Grenham Bay
3.2
16/5(+47%)
(5) Grenham Bay 16/5, C&D winner. 25/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Dipped below last winning mark and merits consideration. C&D winner in March but he's been a bit up and down since and others are more persuasive.
4
4th (4) (11/4 -10%) Al Ameen
2.75
11/4(-10%)
(4) Al Ameen 11/4, C&D winner. 3/1, respectable close fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 28 days ago. In the mix. C&D winner who didn't get any luck over 7f here last time; key player.
3
5th (3) (9/1 +0%) Hiatus
9
9/1(+0%)
(3) Hiatus 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chepstow in May. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 5 days ago. Can give a good account. Fair fourth from off the pace over C&D last week but he needs to find more.
7
6th (7) (16/1 -220%) Mokaatil
16
16/1(-220%)
(7) Mokaatil 16/1, 4 wins from 22 runs this year. Latest win at Chepstow in August. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 6/1) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Player. Three wins at Chepstow in the summer and eyecatching third on AW latest; in the mix.
6
7th (6) (50/1 -400%) Harb
50
50/1(-400%)
(6) Harb 50/1, Latest win at Sandown in August. 7/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 26 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Not easy to predict and was disappointing in bid for 5f double at Sandown latest; risky.
16:05 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
THE WAITING GAME rattled up a sequence of five wins last autumn and went close when third at Chelmsford on her latest start. A return to winning ways looks imminent for Jack Jones' mare and she may edge a competitive sprint. The consistent Valtellina won here this time last year and she can feature, while Al Ameen and Hiatus are others capable of getting involved.
A tight-looking handicap but GRENHAM BAY won off 2 lb higher over this C&D in the spring so could be the answer. Al Ameen and Mokaatil head the dangers.
The vote goes to C&D winner AL AMEEN, who didn't get any luck when a close fourth over 7f here last time.
(3) Hello Neighbour 1/1, Won 12-runner maiden at Navan (14f, good, 9/2) on debut 23 days ago. Down in trip. Yard having good spell. Useful prospect. It was over a 1m6f he won his maiden but that was a highly promising start.
2
2nd (2) (6/1 +0%) Cheeky Wink
6
6/1(+0%)
(2) Cheeky Wink 6/1, Lightly-raced winner. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good). Off 128 days. Yard having good spell. Blinkers on 1st time. Off since early June and now goes in blinkers but this filly brings good form claims.
5
3rd (5) (11/1 -22%) Killeaney Bear
11
11/1(-22%)
(5) Killeaney Bear 11/1, Fairly useful gelding. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Cork in September. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Listowel (9f, good to soft, 4/1) 21 days ago. The most exposed of these after 11 runs but he's a three-time winner; excuses latest.
1
4th (1) (11/4 +0%) Himalayan Heights
2.75
11/4(+0%)
(1) Himalayan Heights 11/4, Useful colt. Winner at Tipperary in May. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 29 days ago but big player back in calmer waters. Bombed out in a valuable Curragh handicap last time but had been progressing well.
6
5th (6) (17/2 +47%) Lucky Out
8.5
17/2(+47%)
(6) Lucky Out 17/2, Fairly useful filly. Bit below form eleventh of 19 in handicap (22/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 30 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Chance at the weights but she's exposed and was below her best last time out.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Despite being unable to complete the hat-trick at Listowel last month, KILLEANEY BEAR can resume winning ways. Hampered by a loose horse on that occasion, the Andrew Slattery-trained gelding is readily forgiven that effort. A game winner of his previous two runs, this small field should suit his prominent racing style. Himalayan Heights had been very consistent prior to opening his account at Tipperary in May. Although well beaten in a premier handicap at the Curragh last time, the colt raced keenly through that race. Hello Neighbour looked a potentially exciting prospect when making a winning debut at Navan. While the drop in trip raises concerns, he could have the class to overcome those doubts.
HELLO NEIGHBOUR has had the form of his Navan maiden win boosted and is selected to make it 2-2, perhaps at the main expense of Himalayan Heights.
It was over 1m6f that HELLO NEIGHBOUR made a winning start at Navan but he didn't look short of speed and he's clearly promising.
(10) Cotswold Cottage 14/1, Well held in minor event/maidens. Significantly upped in trip for handicap debut. Well held in her maidens (1m-1m2f) and wouldn't be the obvious answer on handicap debut.
4
2nd (4) (11/4 +39%) Stintino Sunset
2.75
11/4(+39%)
(4) Stintino Sunset 11/4, Ran up to best from a reduced mark when winning 11-runner handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 6 weeks ago, suited by emphasis on speed to lead close home. Can give another good account from just 2 lb higher. Hasn't had many races beyond 1m2f and finished well to lead late on over C&D last month.
1
3rd (1) (4/1 -60%) Zambezi Magic
4
4/1(-60%)
(1) Zambezi Magic 4/1, Landed a significant gamble as he notched up his second success from his last 3 starts in 6-runner handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy) 46 days ago, staying on well. Up 5 lb and remains well treated on old form. Bang in form; raised 5lb for good win last time but has won off higher in the past.
5
4th (5) (3/1 +40%) Martin Spirit
3
3/1(+40%)
(5) Martin Spirit 3/1, Opened account on the Flat at Epsom (12f) in July. Has continued in good heart since but had little chance of sustaining such a strong gallop back over hurdles at Fontwell (17.7f, good just under 3 weeks ago. Player on his recent C&D third. Close up over C&D on final Flat appearance and this softer surface won't faze him.
11
5th (11) (10/1 +29%) Make A Scene
10
10/1(+29%)
(11) Make A Scene 10/1, Temperamental sort. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, never threatened when fourth of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, heavy) 4 days ago. AW winner; placed on the turf and heavy ground was probably no help four days ago.
12
6th (12) (5/1 +69%) Sapphire Sirocco
5
5/1(+69%)
(12) Sapphire Sirocco 5/1, Never put in the race making handicap debut when fifth of 7 (14/1) at Kempton (12f) just under 7 weeks ago. Still unexposed and interesting to see how she fares in the market. Limited in maidens and was outpaced when fifth of seven on handicap debut on AW.
9
7th (9) (33/1 -136%) Urban Hydrangea
33
33/1(-136%)
(9) Urban Hydrangea 33/1, Made no impression but not given at all a hard time when ninth of 10 in maiden (100/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 18 days ago. The type to do better in handicaps so market check advised. Showed a bit on her second start but tailed off either side of that; handicap debut.
7
8th (7) (14/1 +44%) Barafundle Bay
14
14/1(+44%)
(7) Barafundle Bay 14/1, C&D winner in June is very much a standout. 50/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 82 days ago. Hopes pinned on a return to this venue. C&D winner in June at 33-1 but she's achieved precious little otherwise.
16:15 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ZAMBEZI MAGIC is an obvious choice despite the burden of top-weight, with two wins and a second from his last three starts including a Ffos Las win on heavy ground. He won't mind the conditions and an added 5lb from the handicapper may not be enough to stop him. Stintino Sunset got up late over C&D last month and can go close off 2lb higher, leaving Martin Spirit as a tentative suggestion for third.
ZAMBEZI MAGIC notched up his second success from his last 3 starts at Ffos Las in August and, remaining well treated from 5 lb higher on old form, Bernard Llewellyn's 7-y-o can add another success to his tally at the expense of Drouthy Neebor, who is threatening to come good soon based on recent efforts. Martin Spirit, Sapphire Sirocco and Stintino Sunset can fight out minor honours.
A lot of these have questions to answer on various counts but not the in-form ZAMBEZI MAGIC who remains on a workable mark.
(10) Onthebunny 100/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Last of 9 in handicap (150/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good) 13 days ago, slowly away. Not far away in a C&D classified in August but found wanting in handicaps since.
7
1st (7) (5/1 +38%) Golden Valour
5
5/1(+38%)
(7) Golden Valour 5/1, Unreliable type. 13/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 4 days ago despite going about things in an ungainly fashion. Broke turf duck in May; some close calls since; needs more than latest 3rd on Thursday.
1
2nd (1) (13/2 -30%) Code Purple
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(1) Code Purple 13/2, Enhanced excellent course record when landing 9f handicap in August. 5/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 48 days ago, proving too keen. Back in trip and down in class. Won both course starts (7f and 1m1f) in 2024; still below highest winning mark.
6
3rd (6) (12/1 +14%) Havana Rose
12
12/1(+14%)
(6) Havana Rose 12/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 4 days ago. Carried head a shade awkwardly in the process so cheekpieces are reached for. Finding 3yo career rather hard work despite weights drop; must improve for cheekpieces.
8
4th (8) (12/1 +25%) Black Friday
12
12/1(+25%)
(8) Black Friday 12/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 5¾ lengths seventh of 10 to The Gay Blade in handicap at this C&D (good, 18/1) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Below best of late, including over C&D last time out; cheekpieces refitted.
4
5th (4) (9/2 -50%) The Gay Blade
4.5
9/2(-50%)
(4) The Gay Blade 9/2, Four wins from 15 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 4/1) 12 days ago, well positioned. Clearly taking his racing well and he's in excellent order. Already won 4 handicaps this year, the latest with authority over C&D; can go very close.
5
6th (5) (9/2 -64%) Space Ninja
4.5
9/2(-64%)
(5) Space Ninja 9/2, Sent off 5/1 and career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 29 days ago. Up 3 but he's not yet exposed. Has improved since upped to 7f for new yard, his 2nd and C&D win both working out well.
3
7th (3) (6/1 +14%) Pembrokeshire
6
6/1(+14%)
(3) Pembrokeshire 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in July. Respectable 4 lengths fifth of 10 to stablemate The Gay Blade in handicap at this C&D (good, 6/1) 12 days ago. Not obviously in peak form but 3lb lower than when winning this at a big price last year.
11
8th (11) (40/1 -60%) Rogers Dream
40
40/1(-60%)
(11) Rogers Dream 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, fourth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Had fewer chances than any but improvement needed on form in 6f classified and 7f handicap.
2
9th (2) (15/2 -7%) Keep Me Stable
7.5
15/2(-7%)
(2) Keep Me Stable 15/2, Latest win at Newcastle in September. Respectable 3 lengths fourth of 10 to The Gay Blade in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (good) 12 days ago, left poorly placed and also meeting some trouble. Expected to be bang there. Two wins in 2024; not the best of runs over C&D latest; can make more of an impact today.
9
10th (9) (18/1 +10%) Warminster
18
18/1(+10%)
(9) Warminster 18/1, 16/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago. Struggling to find his form but does have a basement mark to exploit. Two 6f wins; not in much form in recent months and has yet to prove suited by 7f.
16:20 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The Gay Blade recorded a comfortable success over C&D recently and although a 4lb rise should be no barrier to further success, the vote goes to SPACE NINJA. Roger Fell's charge has improved since being gelded and duly opened his account over track and trip last month. Given he has few miles on the clock, a 3lb rise could prove lenient. Code Purple is also noted.
It might be worth siding with KEEP ME STABLE, who was better than the result when fourth to the re-opposing The Gay Blade over C&D 12 days ago and is 5 lb better off at the weights this time. Space Ninja is an improving 3-y-o who won here a month ago so he commands serious respect.
The Gay Blade comes here with a C&D win under his belt but SPACE NINJA's two 7f runs have worked out well and he gets the vote.
(6) Betweenthesticks 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in August. 28/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago. Merits consideration. Back on track for new yard when sixth at Newcastle 11 days ago; C&D winner is in the mix.
9
2nd (9) (11/2 +31%) Blue Force
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(9) Blue Force 11/2, Winner at Newcastle in September. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago, running on. Not discounted. Won at Newcastle in September and solid third there last time; he ought to be thereabouts.
5
3rd (5) (2/1 +27%) Phoenix Beach
2
2/1(+27%)
(5) Phoenix Beach 2/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Good second of 8 in handicap (5/2) at this C&D 7 days ago. In good order and worth a chance to go one better than last time. Very good C&D second a week ago; this C&D scorer is a player off an unchanged mark.
1
4th (1) (5/1 -11%) Aces Wild
5
5/1(-11%)
(1) Aces Wild 5/1, 3-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win here in July. 3/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Considered. C&D winner; not seen to best effect when fifth here latest; he can go well eased 1lb.
7
5th (7) (25/1 -79%) Classy Clarets
25
25/1(-79%)
(7) Classy Clarets 25/1, 14/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Struggling for form and hard to make a strong case for. Still a maiden and he arrives below par; others appeal more..
8
6th (8) (15/2 +25%) Maharajas Express
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(8) Maharajas Express 15/2, C&D winner. 10/1, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others have achieved more of late. Largely below par since joining his current yard; this C&D scorer needs to step forward.
4
7th (4) (9/2 -13%) Let's Go Hugo
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(4) Let's Go Hugo 9/2, C&D winner. 7/2, respectable second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Has been shaping well lately and is worthy of interest. C&D scorer; good second at Newcastle 11 days ago; very much one to consider back up 1lb.
10
8th (10) (20/1 -25%) Rogue De Vega
20
20/1(-25%)
(10) Rogue De Vega 20/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 11/1) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs to get back on track. Didn't enjoy the rub of the green when 11th at Southwell 18 days ago; possibilities.
2
9th (2) (40/1 -150%) Stone Of Destiny
40
40/1(-150%)
(2) Stone Of Destiny 40/1, Untrustworthy individual. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 25/1) 11 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form but he's hard to trust. Looked rusty after nine months off when ninth at Newcastle 11 days ago; considered.
3
10th (3) (22/1 -57%) Symbol Of Hope
22
22/1(-57%)
(3) Symbol Of Hope 22/1, Latest win at Bath in August. Bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm, 14/1) 29 days ago. Form has been in and out lately. Came in only ninth back at Bath last time; he's the sort to bounce back though.
11
11th (11) (33/1 -106%) Chiedozie
33
33/1(-106%)
(11) Chiedozie 33/1, 16/1 and visored for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 30 days ago. Others make more appeal. Creditable fifth in Lingfield handicap 30 days ago; shortlisted off a 2lb lower mark.
16:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LET'S GO HUGO occupied the runner-up berth in this grade at Newcastle earlier in the month and he was only put up 1lb for that display. Ollie Pears' four-year-old remains on a workable mark and he could prove tough to beat. Phoenix Beach has made the frame on each of his last three starts at this venue and should remain competitive, while Blue Force is another to consider.
PHOENIX BEACH is comfortable at this track and arrives in good order, so he's marginally preferred to Let's Go Hugo, who has shaped well on his last two outings. Aces Wild also comes into the reckoning.
The verdict goes to PHOENIX BEACH (nap) who signalled he is ready to bag a second C&D success when a good second here last time.
(3) Smugglers Haven 16/1, Winner of sole start between the flags last year and has made the frame in maiden hurdles at Stratford and Uttoxeter, either side of a poor display at Chepstow. Appeals as the type to do better now venturing down the handicap route but she will need to improve significantly in order to take this. Made the frame in two of her three qualifying races; open to improvement in handicaps.
4
2nd (4) (2/1 -23%) Apples Moon
2
2/1(-23%)
(4) Apples Moon 2/1, From the family of very smart hurdler/chaser Finian's Oscar and duly left maiden/novice form a long way behind when accounting for 10 rivals back from a break on handicap debut at Warwick (19f, good) last month. This 7 lb higher mark looks manageable and she may well have more to offer. Won readily on recent handicap debut and could still be well treated after 7lb rise.
7
3rd (7) (10/1 -122%) Well Done Dani
10
10/1(-122%)
(7) Well Done Dani 10/1, Put a string of below-par efforts behind her when landing a 14-runner handicap hurdle at Kelso (2¼m, good) last month. Remains on a workable mark back up 5 lb and she has to enter calculations. Returned to form at Kelso last month and now 3-17 over hurdles; others appea more, though.
1
4th (1) (14/1 0%) Ede'iffs Rock
14
14/1(0%)
(1) Ede'iffs Rock 14/1, Consistent sort who opened her account after a frustrating run of placed efforts in 13-runner handicap at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) in January. Ought to come on for recent Fontwell reappearance spin but she looks vulnerable for win purposes all the same. Game winner in January and returned from layoff with satisfactory run this month.
9
5th (9) (13/2 +46%) Miss Applejack
6.5
13/2(+46%)
(9) Miss Applejack 13/2, A fair bumper winner but yet to click following 7 attempts in this sphere and she's probably worth taking on. Won a bumper in spring 2023 but is yet to be placed after seven hurdling starts.
6
6th (6) (11/1 +0%) Fenney Brook
11
11/1(+0%)
(6) Fenney Brook 11/1, Down the weights and seemingly back on track following a wind op when third in back-to-back handicap hurdles during the summer. However, commensurate with her rather up-and-down profile, she has failed to fire the last twice and others make more appeal. Won this in 2023 but has very mixed record since and can't be relied upon heavily.
8
7th (8) (13/2 +54%) Inchiquin Spirit
6.5
13/2(+54%)
(8) Inchiquin Spirit 13/2, Maiden Irish pointer who didn't shape at all badly when fourth of 12 over this C&D in March. However, it would be fair to say that she has failed to build on that since and a stiffer test is probably what she needs. 0-7 over hurdles but ran well for a long way over C&D in March and is 8lb lower now.
5
8th (5) (33/1 -32%) Morning Fortune
33
33/1(-32%)
(5) Morning Fortune 33/1, Placed on second of 2 starts in Irish points and promise on third hurdles run when fifth of 14 in a Hereford maiden in May. However, subsequent handicap debut at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) was low-key and while she's bred to appreciate this stiffer test, others make more appeal. Safely held on handicap debut in June but her 2m run here in May was very encouraging.
2
9th (2) (9/2 -13%) State Of Honor
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(2) State Of Honor 9/2, Built on reappearance effort when a good second of 13 at Uttoxeter in June, before going one better in decisive fashion in a 21.8f Fontwell handicap last month. Subsequently chased home an improver at Worcester and while more will be needed now new 8 lb higher mark has kicked in, she merits respect. Too good for a heavily backed subsequent winner when scoring at Fontwell last month.
16:30 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Fenney Brook is back for more after winning this last year for Katy Price, but she has raced eight times since without success and looks up against it now. Apples Moon looked much improved when winning at Warwick last month and she could prove the biggest danger to top-weight EDE'IFFS ROCK. Dropped 1lb for her first start of the season when fourth at Fontwell, her last win was off just 2lb higher in January and she is entitled to step forward from that recent effort.
With the promise of more to come from APPLES MOON on the back of her handicap debut success at Warwick, she is taken to follow up here. The consistent State of Honor looks set for another prominent role, while Well Done Dani, who regained the winning thread at Kelso, should also have a part to play.
After displaying a big jolt of improvement to win readily on her recent handicap debut, APPLES MOON (nap) can overcome a 7lb rise.
(2) Gesundheit 11/10, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in maiden (100/1) at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. May well do better. Well-bred colt and it wouldn't be a surprise if he showed a lot more on this nursery debut.
11
2nd (11) (40/1 -186%) Manton Road
40
40/1(-186%)
(11) Manton Road 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1 and blinkered for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Eyeshields on for 1st time. Has struggled in all four runs including a 1m nursery; opposable.
1
3rd (1) (8/1 -60%) Miakoda
8
8/1(-60%)
(1) Miakoda 8/1, Might have found run coming too soon when ninth of 14 in nursery (9/2) at Southwell (5f) 18 days ago. Good second at Wolverhampton prior to that. Back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Went close on Tapeta on penultimate run and this return to 6f looks a positive; big player.
10
4th (10) (11/1 -175%) Layaali
11
11/1(-175%)
(10) Layaali 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, very good third of 12 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Has to be taken seriously. Improved form when close third in Newcastle nursery latest; respected up just 1lb.
8
5th (8) (100/1 -733%) Lady Lovebug
100
100/1(-733%)
(8) Lady Lovebug 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 10 in nursery (28/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Form figures of 7778 so far and needs to significantly raise her game at this new trip.
9
6th (9) (40/1 -150%) Dark Sorceress
40
40/1(-150%)
(9) Dark Sorceress 40/1, 33/1, creditable fifth of 12 in nursery at this course (7f) 28 days ago. Others more persuasive. Six-race maiden with a mixed record and was well held here last time; down the list.
4
7th (4) (14/1 -40%) Perfect Parole
14
14/1(-40%)
(4) Perfect Parole 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 80/1) 87 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Well held in three maidens and she needs improvement on nursery/AW debut.
6
8th (6) (25/1 -150%) Elementary Charge
25
25/1(-150%)
(6) Elementary Charge 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 14 in seller (20/1) at York (6f, good to soft). Off 122 days. Makes handicap debut. Regressive RPRs in her three runs so far and latest was in a seller; opposable on return.
3
9th (3) (5/2 +69%) Quick Point
2.5
5/2(+69%)
(3) Quick Point 5/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 12 in novice at this C&D 40 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed colt who is bred to much better than this opening mark; needs watching in market.
7
10th (7) (66/1 -560%) Glad Eye
66
66/1(-560%)
(7) Glad Eye 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in novice at this C&D (200/1) 19 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Has not shown much so far but she could do better with hood now added on nursery debut.
5
11th (5) (18/1 -125%) Invincible Love
18
18/1(-125%)
(5) Invincible Love 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 8 in novice at Chester (6.1f, heavy) 31 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Must bounce back. Has wide draw on nursery debut but he's a possible improver and needs a market check.
16:40 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LAYAALI was having only her second start in a nursery when running into trouble at Newcastle last time. She finished with a late rattle for third once in the clear and looks worth chancing in the hope she gets a smoother passage. Placed over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton, Miakoda is not out of this, while it would be no surprise to see improvement from both Gesundheit and Perfect Parole.
LAYAALI took a step forward when a close third in a Newcastle nursery 2 weeks ago so gets the vote off the same mark. Gesundheit has an eye-catching jockey booking and is the type to do better now qualified for nurseries, so is next best ahead of top-weight Miakoda, who had excuses last time.
This looks tricky but MIAKODA gets the vote ahead of Layaali and Ed Walker's nursery newcomer Gesundheit.
(10) Prairie Angel 3/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Fair winner at 17f over hurdles. 10/11, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Bellewstown (12.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago, well on top finish. This 7 lb higher mark asks a question but she has to be feared nonetheless. Made a winning hurdling debut in August and has continued the good work back on the Flat.
4
2nd (4) (9/2 +18%) Total Look
4.5
9/2(+18%)
(4) Total Look 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. 7/2, career best when winning 11-runner maiden at this course (10.3f, good) on latest start in May. More needed back from a break on this handicap debut but she's in good hands and is hardly exposed. The form of his maiden win here over 1m2f (good) hasn't worked out but he won going away.
3
3rd (3) (5/1 -82%) Cast A Spell
5
5/1(-82%)
(3) Cast A Spell 5/1, 5/4, didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner maiden at Killarney (11.2f, heavy) 7 days ago. More on her plate back in handicap company but there are no issues in terms of trip, ground or indeed current form, so she needs considering. Consistency rewarded in a 1m3f maiden at Killarney (heavy) and this mark isn't beyond her.
2
4th (2) (9/1 +44%) You Owe Me Money
9
9/1(+44%)
(2) You Owe Me Money 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Below form fourth of 10 in claimer at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 6/5) 41 days ago, running on. This trip should be within her range and she looks competitive on form. Only 2-31 and this is her first time over 1m4f; 4th when fav in a 1m claimer latest.
8
5th (8) (5/2 +9%) Palo Duro
2.5
5/2(+9%)
(8) Palo Duro 5/2, Good second of 15 in handicap at Galway (12f, good, 10/1) 34 days ago, conceding first run. Still has low mileage and he's an intriguing candidate. Six-race maiden but having his first run over this far when a running-on second at Galway.
1
6th (1) (16/1 -191%) Napper Tandy
16
16/1(-191%)
(1) Napper Tandy 16/1, 7/1, good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat and, though below par on his latest start in this sphere, he is very much one to consider here. Useful at this sort of trip in UK; has developed into a capable hurdler for current yard.
9
7th (9) (66/1 -100%) Lavender Haze
66
66/1(-100%)
(9) Lavender Haze 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in maiden (33/1) at Galway (12f, soft) 73 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Difficult ask. Well behind Encosta on her handicap debut in May and again struggled back in a maiden.
7
8th (7) (33/1 +0%) Out On Friday
33
33/1(+0%)
(7) Out On Friday 33/1, Course winner. Latest win here in July. Tenth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good, 9/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Not at his best the last twice but won here in July over 1m2f and he's fine over this far.
5
9th (5) (14/1 +0%) Camelot Alexander
14
14/1(+0%)
(5) Camelot Alexander 14/1, Winner at Gowran in April. 7/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, soft) 8 days ago. Significantly up in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Hasn't threatened to compliment her Gowran success and now goes in cheekpieces.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
TOTAL LOOK hasn't been seen since May but could be suited by this distance. Proven on soft ground, he won on good over today's course in May and with the runner-up (receiving 5lb) scoring subsequently and now being rated 75, that suggests the selection is well-in. Last week's Killarney winner Cast A Spell is just 2lb higher than when finishing second on handicap debut here last month and is also suited by soft ground, so she should compete. Palo Duro ran well at this distance at Galway last month, having previously been outpaced over a mile at that course's summer festival. However, he is 6lb higher and does not have a claiming rider aboard today. Prairie Angel won well at Bellewstown but is 7lb higher.
If PALO DURO backs up his latest, improved effort at Galway he could be the answer to this well-contested handicap. Indeed, he was denied a clear run in that Galway race, one which he may well have won but for encountering traffic problems. Prairie Angel did the job well at Bellewstown recently and merits a good deal of respect, despite going up 7 lb, while Napper Tandy has claims off a workable mark. The unexposed Total Look and You Owe Me Money are others to consider.
On another day PALO DURO might well have prevailed last time at Galway and that was his first attempt at this trip.
(8) The Amazon 9/2, Course winner in April. Took a big step back in the right direction when second of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 33 days ago, finishing well after forced to switch entering final 1f. Could build on that again. Gelded prior to bouncing back last time; interesting back at the scene of his spring win.
1
2nd (1) (6/4 +40%) Desperate Dan
1.5
6/4(+40%)
(1) Desperate Dan 6/4, Progressed again to easily get off the mark in 11-runner handicap (7/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 5 days ago, leading around 2f out. Carries penalty and holds major claims if in the same form. Off the mark with emphatic win at Nottingham last week and is open to further progress.
14
3rd (14) (9/2 +0%) Albus Anne
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(14) Albus Anne 9/2, Proved better than ever as she made it 2 wins from as many starts since the hood was fitted in 14-runner handicap at Bath (8f, soft) just under 2 weeks ago, leading final 1f then asserting for hands-and-heels riding. Big shout in hat-trick bid up another 5 lb. Back up in grade but hard to dismiss, being 2-2 (Bath wins) since wearing a hood.
2
4th (2) (9/2 +44%) Dreamrocker
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(2) Dreamrocker 9/2, Latest win at Ascot in July. Wasn't disgraced but raced indolently when seventh of 10 in handicap (5/2) at Sandown (8f, good) 26 days ago, nearest finish. Questions about her attitude to answer so percentage call is to look elsewhere. Disappointing last time but now drops back in grade and remains of interest.
5
5th (5) (13/2 +54%) Rockstar Icon
6.5
13/2(+54%)
(5) Rockstar Icon 13/2, 7/1 and blinkered for 1st time, made little impression when eighth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Inconsistent this term; chance depends on how well he responds to tongue-tie.
9
6th (9) (66/1 -313%) Tortured Soul
66
66/1(-313%)
(9) Tortured Soul 66/1, 5 wins from 10 runs this year. Better for run when ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 33/1) 24 days ago. Down in trip. Should be much closer to form here. All wins at 1m3f/1m4f on AW; enough to prove back over 1m.
6
7th (6) (50/1 -150%) Throne Hall
50
50/1(-150%)
(6) Throne Hall 50/1, Winner over hurdles in Sweden last month but well-beaten ninth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Dropped another 3 lb but best watched. Campaigned mostly over further; drop back to 1m looks a negative.
3
8th (3) (33/1 -106%) Sedgemoor
33
33/1(-106%)
(3) Sedgemoor 33/1, Winner at Haydock in June. Failed to come on for recent run when ninth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 16/1) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive. Registered his June win in Class 5; may benefit from the return to this level.
13
9th (13) (100/1 -100%) Currumbin
100
100/1(-100%)
(13) Currumbin 100/1, Fared no better than on stable debut when last of 6 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good, 66/1) 45 days ago. Ex-Irish maiden; has failed to sparkle for new yard.
11
10th (11) (22/1 -57%) Fihrayn
22
22/1(-57%)
(11) Fihrayn 22/1, Could perform only respectably having had the run of the race when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/2) 23 days ago. Not out of things back on turf. Ties in with King David on one piece of form but remains a maiden.
12
11th (12) (150/1 -275%) Blue Yonder
150
150/1(-275%)
(12) Blue Yonder 150/1, Latest win at Newbury in June. Has failed to beat a rival in 4 starts since so can only be watched. All wins at about 1m2f; badly out of sorts since last success.
16:50 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having improved with each run since a gelding operation in late July, DESPERATE DAN opened his account in emphatic fashion at Nottingham five days ago. The three-year-old looks more than capable of defying a 6lb penalty and can double up. Although the hat-trick seeking Albus Anne requires a career best, she isn't taken lightly and can put up the most resistance to the selection, ahead of The Amazon.
The hat-trick beckons for ALBUS ANNE, who hasn't looked back since a hood went on and had plenty up her sleeve when scooting clear at Bath just under a fortnight ago. She can get the better of Desperate Dan, who progressed again to get off the mark at Nottingham last week and has major claims turned out under a penalty. The Amazon and King David both look interesting too, so they round off the shortlist.
Desperate Dan has to be feared but THE AMAZON is an interesting alternative returned to the scene of his spring win.
(6) Sixcor 7/1, C&D winner. 7¾ lengths ninth of 11 to Royal Duke in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (good) 12 days ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind. Won off this mark at Ayr in August but his subsequent form has been mixed.
2
2nd (2) (3/1 +40%) Mrs Bagerran
3
3/1(+40%)
(2) Mrs Bagerran 3/1, C&D winner. Below form 5½ lengths sixth of 11 to Royal Duke in handicap at this C&D (good, 4/1) 12 days ago. Made all in this last year and she could prove tough to catch from her high draw.
8
3rd (8) (17/2 -21%) Cuban Rock
8.5
17/2(-21%)
(8) Cuban Rock 17/2, Course winner. Respectable 3¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Royal Duke in handicap at this C&D (good, 9/1) 12 days ago, particularly as he was denied a clear run. Merits consideration. Poor strike-rate but fair fourth over C&D recently and he holds each-way claims.
9
4th (9) (16/1 -14%) Earn Your Stripes
16
16/1(-14%)
(9) Earn Your Stripes 16/1, Two wins from 42 Flat runs. Twenty four runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 13/2) back at a more suitable level 22 days ago, slowly away. Has produced some fair performances this season but she remains winless since summer 2022.
7
5th (7) (7/2 +42%) Ski Angel
3.5
7/2(+42%)
(7) Ski Angel 7/2, C&D winner. Creditable 2¾ lengths third of 11 to Royal Duke in handicap at this C&D (good, 17/2) 12 days ago. Can give another good account. Fourth in this last year and ran well over C&D latest; might not be far away.
5
6th (5) (3/1 -71%) Royal Duke
3
3/1(-71%)
(5) Royal Duke 3/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/2) at this C&D (good) 12 days ago, despite being slowly away. Expected to be bang there up 4 lb. Improving 3yo who got off the mark at the ninth attempt over C&D recently; respected.
1
7th (1) (15/2 -50%) Crack The Kode
7.5
15/2(-50%)
(1) Crack The Kode 15/2, Looked rusty back from a break but stuck to his task when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 6 days ago. Returned from a break with a fair fourth at Southwell last Tuesday and could be involved.
4
8th (4) (40/1 -150%) Hard Nut
40
40/1(-150%)
(4) Hard Nut 40/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 20/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 30 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs everything to drop right. Won at 50-1 over C&D in August; hasn't run badly the last twice but needs something extra.
10
9th (10) (80/1 -142%) Mary Ellen Best
80
80/1(-142%)
(10) Mary Ellen Best 80/1, Sixth of 8 in novice at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 125/1) 54 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Handicap debut off basement mark; has shown little at big prices across her three starts.
16:55 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ROYAL DUKE had Ski Angel (third) in behind when winning comfortably over C&D last time out. Although the former is 5lb worse off, he is expected to confirm his superiority en route to further success. Mrs Bagerran (sixth) and Whiskey Priest (eighth) appear held on that form too, so a likelier threat might be Crack The Kode, who is handicapped to go well back on turf, having shaped with promise at Southwell on his return from a short absence on Tuesday.
Claimer Rhys Elliott has struck up a good partnership with ROYAL DUKE, who had several of these in behind when successful over C&D 12 days ago and he's fancied to follow up. Cuban Rock was better than the result in that race and is entitled to finish closer to the selection this time, with Crack The Kode also of interest.
Last year's winner MRS BAGERRAN has a better draw than when sixth to Royal Duke over C&D recently and can come out on top.
(5) Optimistic 200/1, Foaled March 7. Havana Grey colt. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). Others preferred. Havana Grey colt; market can guide on his debut.
6
1st (6) (1/1 +78%) Veblen Good
1
1/1(+78%)
(6) Veblen Good 1/1, Once-raced maiden. Second of 10 in maiden at Sandown (5f, soft, 4/1) on debut 31 days ago. May well do better and is worth considering. Promising debut second at Sandown; he can take a step forward now; big player.
8
2nd (8) (9/1 -80%) Queenofdestruction
9
9/1(-80%)
(8) Queenofdestruction 9/1, Foaled March 6. €42,000 foal, €10,000 yearling, £100,000 2-y-o, Dandy Man filly. Dam 1m winner out of useful 6f/7f winner Girouette. One for shortlist on debut given connections. £100,000 breeze-up 2yo; interesting newcomer from leading yard.
1
3rd (1) (11/2 -100%) Binadham
5.5
11/2(-100%)
(1) Binadham 11/2, Fairly useful colt. Winner at Yarmouth in April. 50/1, 10 lengths thirteenth of 16 to Tropical Storm in listed race at York (5f, good to firm) 51 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Strong claims if he can get back on track. Winless since Yarmouth debut but has kept good company; good claims in these calmer waters.
2
4th (2) (11/4 0%) Bonnie's Boy
2.75
11/4(0%)
(2) Bonnie's Boy 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, respectable fifth of 9 in nursery at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Solid claims. Solid fifth in 6f Ayr nursery 24 days ago; he must enter calculations.
7
5th (7) (20/1 -300%) Lucid
20
20/1(-300%)
(7) Lucid 20/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/8, second of 7 in maiden at Kempton (5f), not ideally placed. Off 166 days. Should progress further and can't be dismissed. Shaped well when second in 5f Kempton maiden in May; off since but merits consideration.
4
6th (4) (22/1 -57%) It's Only Fun
22
22/1(-57%)
(4) It's Only Fun 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 4 in maiden (7/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 21 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Johnston. Third at Hamilton for Charlie Johnston; needs considering for his new handler.
3
7th (3) (28/1 -100%) Colocolo
28
28/1(-100%)
(3) Colocolo 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in maiden (5/2) at Bath (5.7f, firm) 73 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. Worth a market check but more is required. Failed to go on for Kevin Philippart De Foy; needs to hit ground running for new stable..
17:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Binadham brings plenty of experience to the table and sets the standard with a rating of 91, but he will need to bounce back from two underwhelming efforts. Taking that into consideration, the less-exposed VEBLEN GOOD looks the way to go. Karl Burke's juvenile found only one too good on his debut at Sandown last month and, with the likelihood of plenty more to come, he gets the nod. Lucid is another to consider.
This should be well contested but QUEENOFDESTRUCTION cost six figures at the Breeze Ups and represents a stable that does well with similar types, so she's worth siding with first time up. Bonnie's Boy is an obvious player and Veblen Good should step forward from his debut, so they're both considered.
Karl Burke's VEBLEN GOOD shaped well when second on his Sandown debut and can build on it here and get off the mark.
(6) My Bobby's Lass 9/2, There have been positives to glean from her 3 starts over hurdles and, with improvement anticipated now that moves up in trip for this handicap debut. Showed only minor promise in her three qualifying races but can improve in handicaps.
8
2nd (8) (40/1 -21%) Ask Her Out
40
40/1(-21%)
(8) Ask Her Out 40/1, Fair bumper winner but she hasn't shown much over hurdles to date and big step forward needed now that she ventures down the handicap route. Caused 150-1 shock in AW bumper last November but has not shown much over hurdles.
5
3rd (5) (9/1 -260%) Pacific
9
9/1(-260%)
(5) Pacific 9/1, Produced by far her best effort to date when collared close home by an unexposed tival in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) in June. Absent since but she's nevertheless of strong interest switched to hurdles following a break. Went close in modest Stratford novice in June; further progress is possible in handicaps.
2
4th (2) (7/4 +78%) No No Fizz
1.75
7/4(+78%)
(2) No No Fizz 7/4, Modest form in 3 novice events and while she took a step forward when runner-up on handicap debut at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) in April, it would be something of an understatement to say that she failed to reproduce that level of form next time. Debut for new yard. Off since poor run in April but was creditable second on handicap debut earlier that month.
7
5th (7) (5/1 +50%) Von Hallers
5
5/1(+50%)
(7) Von Hallers 5/1, Winning Irish pointer but yet to shine under Rules and she will need to take a significant forward in order to emerge on top here. Pulled up when switched to fences for handicap debut but remains very unexposed.
1
6th (1) (14/1 -367%) Leave Her To Me
14
14/1(-367%)
(1) Leave Her To Me 14/1, Bumper winner in 2022 and came good at the second time of asking over hurdles back from an absence at Uttoxeter in July. Just third under a penalty against a pair of above-average Flat performers at Stratford but handicaps back over this longer trip could be the way to go with her. Game winner of Uttoxeter maiden in July but probably needs to improve again here.
3
7th (3) (7/1 +0%) Hedera Park
7
7/1(+0%)
(3) Hedera Park 7/1, Winner of 2½m Worcester handicap last September and looked set to strike over the same C&D prior to falling at the final flight on penultimate start. Drop back to 2m counted against her last time and she's by no means discounted. In front before last-flight fall at Worcester two runs ago but has become very unreliable.
4
8th (4) (11/1 -57%) Kentford Mallard
11
11/1(-57%)
(4) Kentford Mallard 11/1, Consistent mare who scored here last October and shaped well in handicaps at Wincanton and Huntingdon during the spring. Latest effort wasn't one of her better ones, though, a few of these are more appealing. Course winner a year ago; back from break on workable mark but takes on unexposed rivals.
9
|PU| (9) (200/1 -506%) Charlotte Square
200
200/1(-506%)
(9) Charlotte Square 200/1, Down the field in a handful of starts on the Flat for Andrew Balding and it's been a similar scenario over hurdles so far. Major improvement required on handicap debut in this sphere. Has no form claims on handicap hurdle debut but still worth a glance in the betting.
17:05 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Kentford Mallard is an interesting alternative having won here before over further and, with the ground also suitable, she can go well at the age of 11. Leave Her To Me steps up in trip after a win at Uttoxeter and a Stratford third, but she has to give 15lb to the improving PACIFIC which looks a big ask. Only beaten a neck at Stratford in June, she may well get off the mark if ready to roll.
It's probably best to draw line through HEDERA PARK's latest effort at Musseburgh and, if she reproduces the form she showed on her penultimate start, the 5-y-o will have every chance here. Pacific upped her game at Stratford and she will be a bif threat if able to build on that, while My Bobby's Lass is also shortlisted.
The suggestion is NO NO FIZZ, who ran very well in defeat on her handicap debut in April and is open to further improvement.
(9) More Than A Feelin 5/2, Winner at Wolverhampton in July. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good, 4/1) 47 days ago, hampered. Type to bounce back. Below form latest but that was after a good third over C&D; dangerous if she can rebound.
14
2nd (14) (25/1 -213%) Lzaz
25
25/1(-213%)
(14) Lzaz 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Still unexposed but was tailed off on handicap debut and needs a transformation back at 1m.
12
3rd (12) (7/1 +30%) Double Red
7
7/1(+30%)
(12) Double Red 7/1, 10/3 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to soft) 34 days ago, not clear run. Makes polytrack debut. Eight-race maiden with an unconvincing record and others are preferred.
2
4th (2) (9/1 +36%) Monopolise
9
9/1(+36%)
(2) Monopolise 9/1, C&D winner. 20/1, last of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 50 days ago. On reduced mark but made low-key start for new yard this summer and others are preferred.
7
5th (7) (7/2 +50%) Faster Bee
3.5
7/2(+50%)
(7) Faster Bee 7/2, Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, 11/2) 19 days ago, never nearer. Blinkers on 1st time. Can give a good account. 0-15 but he's on a reduced mark and could be dangerous if new headgear works.
1
6th (1) (4/1 +80%) Good Karma
4
4/1(+80%)
(1) Good Karma 4/1, 40/1 and hooded for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (7f, soft) 15 days ago, very slowly away. 0-10 in handicaps and has struggled in five runs for current yard; lots to prove.
4
7th (4) (50/1 -257%) Hello Zabeel
50
50/1(-257%)
(4) Hello Zabeel 50/1, 11/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Long way below form in last three starts and he's untried at this trip; plenty to prove.
5
8th (5) (33/1 -313%) Anglo Saxson
33
33/1(-313%)
(5) Anglo Saxson 33/1, 16/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Five-time turf winner but he's not easy to predict and is 0-7 on AW; others preferred.
6
9th (6) (14/1 -17%) Daymer Bay
14
14/1(-17%)
(6) Daymer Bay 14/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/1) 39 days ago. On dangerous mark but he's 0-14 and is hard to predict; others are more convincing.
13
10th (13) (33/1 -106%) Amathus
33
33/1(-106%)
(13) Amathus 33/1, 9/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 27 days ago. Five-time turf winner but last win was 15 months ago and he's 0-10 on AW; opposable.
3
11th (3) (16/1 -220%) Uzincso
16
16/1(-220%)
(3) Uzincso 16/1, 6-time C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 30 days ago. Not taken lightly. Six-time C&D winner but he's been out of sorts last twice and losing run is now up to 19.
10
12th (10) (33/1 -175%) Volcanology
33
33/1(-175%)
(10) Volcanology 33/1, Last of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft, 17/2) 14 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Won a Brighton maiden but has not made an impact in handicaps and was tailed off last time.
11
13th (11) (22/1 -57%) Hope Rising
22
22/1(-57%)
(11) Hope Rising 22/1, 14/1, below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 60 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Well held in six starts and she needs blinkers to make a big difference back on AW.
8
14th (8) (12/1 -71%) Artificer
12
12/1(-71%)
(8) Artificer 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving Dylan Cunha when third of 5 in novice at Lingfield (8f, AW) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Drawn wide on handicap debut but she's unexposed and is one to keep an eye on.
17:15 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ARTIFICER was having her first start after a wind operation when debuting for Matt Crawley's yard and finishing third at Lingfield last month. The daughter of Holy Roman Emperor is potentially well handicapped on that evidence and is the one to side with. More Than A Feelin returns to the all-weather with a shout, while Faster Bee looks worth another try over this longer trip.
MORE THAN A FEELIN disappointed back on turf last time but she was beaten only by a subsequent winner over this C&D the time before so is worth another chance. The return to 1m may help Faster Bee so he's next best ahead of Uzincso.
The vote goes to 3yo MORE THAN A FEELIN, who is a big player if she can recapture the form of her close second over C&D in August.
(2) Paradise Lost 3/1, 16/5, creditable eighth of 22 in handicap at Navan (14f, good) 46 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Running well this year and, having hung last time out, the cheekpieces could help.
15
2nd (15) (12/1 -20%) Billie Frechette
12
12/1(-20%)
(15) Billie Frechette 12/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (17/2) at Cork (12f, good) 80 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Shortlist material. Lightly raced maiden who hasn't been far away in two of her last three races.
6
3rd (6) (13/2 -73%) King Of The Bronx
6.5
13/2(-73%)
(6) King Of The Bronx 13/2, Winner at Gowran in May. 18/1, last of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, good to soft) 74 days ago. Won a 1m soft-ground claimer for former yard at 200-1; shown precious little otherwise.
4
4th (4) (17/2 +29%) Status Green
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(4) Status Green 17/2, Winner at Tipperary in May. Below form eighth of 15 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D (heavy) 55 days ago. Only midfield last time but had been running well and trip/ground is fine.
8
5th (8) (40/1 +0%) Jet Times
40
40/1(+0%)
(8) Jet Times 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in maiden at this course (12.1f, soft, 200/1) 42 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Beaten just over 20l in her three maidens, all at 1m4f; this mark looks no gift.
3
6th (3) (7/1 +13%) Beautiful Chaos
7
7/1(+13%)
(3) Beautiful Chaos 7/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Bellewstown (12.3f, soft) 12 days ago. Can make presence felt. Only won a maiden but always prominent when runner-up at Bellewstown.
11
7th (11) (11/1 -10%) Bayou Belle
11
11/1(-10%)
(11) Bayou Belle 11/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 10/3, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft) 8 days ago. Stable in good form. Modest on the Flat, below form on last Flat outing. 0-31 but returns to the Flat after a number of competitive runs over hurdles.
7
8th (7) (66/1 -65%) Awqaat
66
66/1(-65%)
(7) Awqaat 66/1, 14/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 11 months. Partnered by a 10lb claimer on this return from an absence, a watching brief seems best.
16
9th (16) (5/1 -25%) Imperial Miss
5
5/1(-25%)
(16) Imperial Miss 5/1, Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 13/2) 24 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Showed more the last time; returning to further can suit, as might the new cheekpieces.
12
10th (12) (9/1 -80%) Boomerang Bill
9
9/1(-80%)
(12) Boomerang Bill 9/1, 4/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (10.6f, soft) 14 days ago, not clear run. Can give a good account. Getting there and would have been closer at Down Royal (1m2f, soft) with a clearer passage.
5
11th (5) (18/1 -140%) Enquire Within
18
18/1(-140%)
(5) Enquire Within 18/1, Latest win at Down Royal in September. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.2f, good to soft, 5/1) 11 days ago. Consistency rewarded with a narrow verdict at Down Royal and not too shoddy last time.
10
12th (10) (33/1 +50%) A Daughtersdelight
33
33/1(+50%)
(10) A Daughtersdelight 33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 66/1) 17 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Blinkers on 1st time, tongue strap back on. Fourth in a Fairyhouse claimer in May but well held in an AW handicap since.
1
13th (1) (9/1 -29%) Man Of Action
9
9/1(-29%)
(1) Man Of Action 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, ninth of 14 in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Maiden efforts not devoid of promise and 1m6f perhaps too far on handicap debut.
9
14th (9) (80/1 -100%) Pink Aurora
80
80/1(-100%)
(9) Pink Aurora 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good to soft) 84 days ago. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Makes handicap debut. Best run for Joseph O'Brien was her debut; makes handicap for new yard over a longer trip.
14
15th (14) (66/1 -100%) Santa Catarina
66
66/1(-100%)
(14) Santa Catarina 66/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 100/1, last of 22 in handicap at Navan (14f, good) 46 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Longstanding maiden who hasn't shown enough since changing stables; others safer.
13
16th (13) (100/1 -52%) Charli Sands
100
100/1(-52%)
(13) Charli Sands 100/1, First run since leaving Yvonne Latta when last of 11 in minor event at Leopardstown (15f, good, 200/1). Off 95 days. Outclassed last time but hadn't been offering much in handicaps prior to that; opposable.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BEAUTIFUL CHAOS has won just once from 23 runs but is ideally suited by conditions and this is a winnable handicap. Winner of a Killarney maiden in October 2022, she has run some solid races in defeat in the interim and, having performed well under today's same 10lb claimer at Bellewstown 12 days ago, should be competitive. Bayou Belle has been running consistently well over hurdles recently and while she too has Flat form on soft, is nonetheless a 31-race maiden. Status Green has winning soft-ground form and while he was well held over today's course-and-distance in August, had previously run well over a similar distance at Ballinrobe in June.
BILLIE FRECHETTE shaped better than the bare result when unsuited by the slow pace at Cork last time and could be the answer with a stronger gallop more likely here. Imperial Miss and Beautiful Chaos head the dangers.
There could be a big run in IMPERIAL MISS who hinted at better to come over C&D before running on well over shorter on the AW.
(1) World Of Darcy 4/1, 33/1, took advantage of a plummeting mark when winning 10-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last week, leading under 2f out. 6 lb penalty to carry and remains well treated on old form. Sure to go close provided this doesn't come too soon. Won at Yarmouth last week, emerging from a spell in the doldrums; major player.
9
2nd (9) (5/1 +29%) Gherkin
5
5/1(+29%)
(9) Gherkin 5/1, Course winner. Too free when seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 8/1) 38 days ago, caught wide with no cover. 2-3 on soft, including a Windsor win; interesting granted that surface.
10
3rd (10) (5/1 +75%) Roman Spring
5
5/1(+75%)
(10) Roman Spring 5/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Tongue strap on for 1st time, back to form when fourth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft, 8/1) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Still a maiden and again looks set for minor honours at best.
3
4th (3) (17/2 +39%) Art Fantastique
8.5
17/2(+39%)
(3) Art Fantastique 17/2, C&D winner. 11/1, possibly still needed the run when sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 19 days ago. May benefit from this return to Windsor, having won over C&D as a 2yo.
6
5th (6) (10/1 -43%) Thunderous Love
10
10/1(-43%)
(6) Thunderous Love 10/1, 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, turned in her best effort since scoring at Salisbury in the spring when second of 9 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 27 days ago, suited by way race developed. Player if building on that. Step back in right direction with cheekpieces fitted last time; interesting.
5
6th (5) (14/1 -40%) Crocus Time
14
14/1(-40%)
(5) Crocus Time 14/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 50/1, ran better than for a while when second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 24 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Still a maiden; inconsistent this year; not sure to back up latest effort.
11
7th (11) (33/1 +18%) Company Minx
33
33/1(+18%)
(11) Company Minx 33/1, Ran no sort of race after 8 weeks off when last of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 80/1) 16 days ago. Holds very weak claims on 2024 form.
7
8th (7) (25/1 -108%) Milliethemollie
25
25/1(-108%)
(7) Milliethemollie 25/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. 17/2, again ran below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (5.1f, good) 4 weeks ago. Others more convincing. Ex-Irish; runner-up four times for current yard; below par the last twice.
2
9th (2) (20/1 -100%) All In The Hips
20
20/1(-100%)
(2) All In The Hips 20/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Shaped as if just in need of the run when fourth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) just under 7 weeks ago. Raced mostly on AW in 2024; meagre RPRs in her two turf attempts this year.
8
10th (8) (11/4 +21%) Tilsworth Turf
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(8) Tilsworth Turf 11/4, 18/1, showed improved form returned to sprinting when winning 9-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 16 days ago, soon clear. 6 lb higher and isn't an obvious type to follow up. Scored comfortably at Ripon last month, taking record on soft going to 2-3.
17:25 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A switch to softer ground conditions saw Tilsworth Turf record a second career victory at Ripon last month. A 6lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid from the four-year-old, but penalised winner WORLD OF DARCY edges the vote. John Ryan's charge also appreciated a return to turf when capitalising on a career-low mark at Yarmouth last week and that form may prove slightly stronger. Crocus Time is next best.
The first port of call is WORLD OF DARCY, who took advantage of a plummeting mark at Yarmouth last week and John Ryan's 3-y-o remains very well treated on old form under a penalty. Second choice is Thunderous Love, who turned in her best effort since scoring at Salisbury in the spring when runner-up at Brighton last week, with Tilsworth Turf and Crocus Time both fancied to be in the shake-up, too.
Provided he remains in form, WORLD OF DARCY could well defy a penalty. Tilsworth Turf and Thunderous Love are respected.
(6) Pals Battalion 10/3, 5/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Likely to be on the premises. Yet to score this term but he's proved a consistent sort; very much one to consider.
2
2nd (2) (2/1 +43%) Mesaafi
2
2/1(+43%)
(2) Mesaafi 2/1, Good third of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 4/1) 17 days ago. In a rich vein of form and is unlikely to be far away. Still to get his head in front but in good nick; he's one for the shortlist.
3
3rd (3) (12/1 +14%) Ziggy's Queen
12
12/1(+14%)
(3) Ziggy's Queen 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, creditable tenth of 24 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Worth considering back in calmer waters. Consistent this term, solid tenth at Ayr last time; much respected with tongue-tie added.
7
4th (7) (18/1 +45%) State Of Madness
18
18/1(+45%)
(7) State Of Madness 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in handicap (80/1) at Doncaster (5f, good) 31 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Back up in trip. Has failed to kick on since sent handicapping; he needs to take a step forward.
8
5th (8) (10/1 -25%) Rusheen Boy
10
10/1(-25%)
(8) Rusheen Boy 10/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm, 9/2) 74 days ago. Hood back on. Others preferred. Failed to fire at Thirsk/Nottingham this summer but possibilities returned to the AW.
4
6th (4) (12/1 -118%) Glitterella
12
12/1(-118%)
(4) Glitterella 12/1, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft, 5/1) 31 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Merits consideration. In good form until only sixth at Salisbury last month; the sort to bounce back though.
5
7th (5) (11/2 +39%) Suicide Blonde
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(5) Suicide Blonde 11/2, 4/1, last of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 76 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs the headgear to have a positive effect. Too free after nine months off when last at Lingfield in July; blinkers are reached for.
10
8th (10) (22/1 -300%) Gigastar
22
22/1(-300%)
(10) Gigastar 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, fifth of 7 in novice at this course (5.1f) 14 days ago, slowly away. Could do better back up in trip for handicap debut. Brought along steadily, fifth here two weeks ago; player back at 6f on handicap debut.
1
9th (1) (16/1 +36%) Dapperling
16
16/1(+36%)
(1) Dapperling 16/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 28/1) 40 days ago. Hard to make a strong case for after a couple of tame efforts. Arrives out of sorts, tenth at Southwell latest; handily weighted if getting back on track.
9
10th (9) (28/1 -522%) Borealis Thunder
28
28/1(-522%)
(9) Borealis Thunder 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, third of 6 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good, 12/1) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Could have more to come and market will be significant. Hooded when good third at Brighton 27 days ago; not discounted now going handicapping.

MESAAFI has made the frame in this grade on each of his last two outings, including over 7f here last time and he goes off an unchanged rating. Charlie Fellowes' four-year-old may only need to maintain that level of form in order to get off the mark. Glitterella could only manage midfield at Salisbury last time, but she is worth another chance based on her pair of runner-up efforts prior to that. Of the remainder, Dapperling makes the most appeal.
MESAAFI is in good form and could be the one to side with iin an open race. Pals Bataliton should go well again, while handicap-debutante Borealis Thunder would require respect if the market spoke in her favour.
Preference is for Harry Eustace's GIGASTAR who appeals as a likely improver now handicapping with the step back up in trip also a plus
(6) Push The Limit 11/1, Foaled March 24. €48,000 yearling, Le Havre colt. Half-brother to useful 7f/1m winner La Tihaty and 9f-1½m winner Stellarmasterpiece. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Yard 6-21 with juveniles here this season and he needs a close look on debut.
8
2nd (8) (4/1 +43%) The King's Falcon
4
4/1(+43%)
(8) The King's Falcon 4/1, Foaled February 4. Dubawi colt. Dam, 7f/1m winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 1½m-2m winner Sea Stone out of smart 2-y-o 6f-1m winner White Moonstone. 4/1, fourth of 7 in novice at Newbury (7f, soft) on debut 23 days ago. Likely to improve. Signs of promise on his Newbury debut and looks a likely improver on this step up to 1m.

3rd (4) (150/1 -275%) Kammeel
150
150/1(-275%)
(4) Kammeel 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in novice at this course (7f, 50/1) 24 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Down the field at 50-1 in two runs here last month including a tailed-off effort last time.

7th (1) (10/1 -150%) Anglophile
10
10/1(-150%)
(1) Anglophile 10/1, Foaled March 3. Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to 3 winners, including 1½m winner Rococo and 8.6f winner All The Rage. Dam 2-y-o 8.5f winner who stayed 1½m. Lots to like on paper and yard has 27% record with 2yos here this year.

Half-brother to six winners including a Group 1 scorer; market informative on debut.

17:45 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
360,000gns purchase Naval Command, a half-brother to St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov, makes plenty of appeal on paper and is an obvious candidate for his lofty connections. Push The Limit looks a likely type too and although it would be no surprise were he to figure, THE KING'S FALCON shades preference. A staying-on fourth over 7f at Newbury on his debut, the mile promises to suit and that previous experience will stand him in good stead.
A potentiall very hot maiden, featuring some eye-catching newcomers, none more so than Godolphin's NAVAL CCOMMAND, an expensive son of Lope De Vega. Hawaiian King, Anglophile, Push The Limit and Terrapin are other newcomers to note, especially if they are strong in the market.
Top of the list is Godolphin's newcomer NAVAL COMMAND, who cost 360,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to Eldar Eldarov.
(5) Novak 9/2, Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. Good third of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 14/1) 4 days ago. Should give another good account if the race doesn't come too soon. Creditable third at Ayr last Thursday but difficult to recommend for win purposes..
9
2nd (9) (11/2 +39%) Snooze Lane
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(9) Snooze Lane 11/2, 4-time course winner. Latest win here in April. Good third of 9 in handicap (16/1) at this course (9.5f) 23 days ago. Down in trip. Back to a potentially lenient mark, so merits consideration. All four wins have been over 8.5f-9.5f at this track; may find this an insufficient test..
2
3rd (2) (4/1 +0%) Sonmarg
4
4/1(+0%)
(2) Sonmarg 4/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, running on. Makes plenty of apppeal. Yet to win a handicap but placed in four of his last five starts, all on AW..
1
4th (1) (11/2 +73%) Evocative Spark
5.5
11/2(+73%)
(1) Evocative Spark 11/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt. Last win was in September last year; minor form since but return to 7f can help.
3
5th (3) (8/1 +0%) Ormolulu
8
8/1(+0%)
(3) Ormolulu 8/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 7/2) 17 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. On a handy mark and can't be dismissed. Dropping in the weights and hood left off but others look stronger for win purposes..
12
6th (12) (10/1 -100%) A Pint Of Bear
10
10/1(-100%)
(12) A Pint Of Bear 10/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 21 runs this year. Very good second of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, sticking to task. Should get competitive again. Beaten a short-head over C&D last Monday; claims off career-low mark.
11
7th (11) (18/1 -100%) Buttercross Flyer
18
18/1(-100%)
(11) Buttercross Flyer 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, no match for winner. Others are more persuasive. Shaped encouragingly when fourth and second over C&D last month for new yard..
4
8th (4) (20/1 -25%) Em Jay Kay
20
20/1(-25%)
(4) Em Jay Kay 20/1, Course winner. Latest win at Nottingham in July. 28/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago. Others are more appealing. Steps back up in trip but last of 11 when tried over 7f in April at Chelmsford..
6
9th (6) (8/1 +33%) Rainwater
8
8/1(+33%)
(6) Rainwater 8/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Shaped better than the result on previous outing and shouldn't be written off. Nine-race maiden who hasn't gone on since an encouraging second on his debut last year.
10
10th (10) (25/1 -257%) Vaunted
25
25/1(-257%)
(10) Vaunted 25/1, 12/1, won 16-runner handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 29 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Remains well treated on her best form. In good form at about 6f on turf with wins at Chepstow in August and Bath last month..
7
11th (7) (16/1 -33%) Spirit Of The Rose
16
16/1(-33%)
(7) Spirit Of The Rose 16/1, 16/5, seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 68 days ago. Has lacked consistency and needs to get back on track after a break. Six-race maiden but was only beaten a head when second at Haydock in July..
18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A PINT OF BEAR ran on into fourth over 6f here last month before going agonisingly close over C&D last Monday. Scott Dixon's charge appears to be coming to the boil now and, from a handy draw, is taken to gain compensation. Vaunted has yet to confirm her stamina at this trip but the manner in which she won at Bath recently suggests it will be no problem. Adrian Wintle's mare can go close along with Sonmarg, who continues to knock at the door.
A PINT OF BEAR goes well here, is in good order, and has an ideal draw, so he's the solid option in an open-looking contest. Last-time-out winner Vaunted should come into it and Sonmarg deserves plenty of respect.
This has an open look and preference is for the unexposed 3yo SPIRIT OF THE ROSE. Bint Havana Gold is the main danger.
(3) Masai Moon 2/5, Foaled April 10. Siyouni colt. Half-brother to French 10.5f-1½m winner Natural Gift. Dam unraced sister to very smart 11.4f/1½m winner (stayed 15.5f) Royal Line. Interesting newcomer. Top yard has 31% strike-rate with juveniles this season and he's an interesting newcomer.
4
2nd (4) (8/1 -167%) Misty Memories
8
8/1(-167%)
(4) Misty Memories 8/1, Promising sort. 7/4, better effort when fourth of 7 in novice at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. The pick of those with experiencce. Two promising efforts on turf including over 8.4f; sets fair standard and he's respected.
7
3rd (7) (9/1 +10%) Your Lordship
9
9/1(+10%)
(7) Your Lordship 9/1, Foaled February 2. Lope De Vega colt. Dam, 11f winner, half-sister to several winners, notably St Leger winner Masked Marvel. 28/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, firm) on debut 26 days ago. Open to improvement. Shaped with promise at Yarmouth and he looks a likely improver on this step up in trip.
2
4th (2) (22/1 -120%) Fort George
22
22/1(-120%)
(2) Fort George 22/1, Foaled March 11. 38,000 gns foal, 78,000 gns yearling, Territories colt. Brother to useful 8.3f/9f winner Pink Carnation, closely related to 7f-10.7f winner Spirituoso. Dam lightly raced. Has good pedigree and yard 20% with 2yos this year; needs watching in market.
5
5th (5) (10/1 -100%) Sea Scout
10
10/1(-100%)
(5) Sea Scout 10/1, Foaled March 9. 175,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Brother to Australian 7f-1½m winner Al Aabir and half-brother to winner up to 9f Bulls Aye. Noteworthy newcomer. 175,000gns yearling; plenty to like on paper and he needs a close look on debut.
8
6th (8) (9/1 -50%) Helmsley
9
9/1(-50%)
(8) Helmsley 9/1, Foaled April 13. €50,000 yearling, New Bay filly. Half-sister to 1m-11f winner Nice Birdie. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 9f-1½m winner Dress Rehearsal. One to note on debut. Yard 29% with 2yos here this season and interesting to see how she figures in market.
9
7th (9) (80/1 -220%) Phaedra
80
80/1(-220%)
(9) Phaedra 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs a big step forward. Showed promise over 6f at Newbury and this step up to 1m could suit; not ruled out.
1
8th (1) (200/1 -506%) Clever Jack
200
200/1(-506%)
(1) Clever Jack 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in novice (33/1) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm). Off 109 days. Significantly up in trip. Hard to make a case for. Failed to beat a rival in two turf runs in June; been gelded and now steps up to 1m.
6
9th (6) (200/1 -300%) Sedate
200
200/1(-300%)
(6) Sedate 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in maiden at Newcastle (8f, 40/1) 11 days ago. Much more needed. Beaten 22l at big prices in two 1m maidens, most recently at Newcastle (AW) 11 days ago.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Misty Memories was a shade unfortunate not to have finished closer at Beverley but he sets the standard and must enter calculations. That said, it could go the way of debutant MASAI MOON. Charlie Appleby's colt boasts an appealing pedigree and with the yard's juveniles in good form, it would come as no surprise were he up to the task. Helmsley is another to consider.
Another potentially hot novice, and this one may well go to a Godolphin newcomer as well, as MAISAI MOON is certainly bred to be well above average. Misty Memories took a step forward from first run to second and may be the main threat, though debutants Sea Scout and Helmsley also take the eye on paper.
Misty Memories sets a fair standard but there are some interesting newcomers in opposition including Charlie Appleby's MASAI MOON.
(1) Addosh 9/4, 4/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hood back on. Potentially well treated in this sphere and has to be taken seriously. Three wins over hurdles but hasn't won on the Flat since 2021; 0-6 on AW..
2
2nd (2) (1/1 +9%) Baileys Warrior
1
1/1(+9%)
(2) Baileys Warrior 1/1, Gained some reward for her consistency when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (10/3) 21 days ago. Has found another weak race and could take plenty of beating. Good record over 2m and wide-margin C&D winner three weeks ago; back up 3lb; good chance.
5
3rd (5) (22/1 -450%) Robeam
22
22/1(-450%)
(5) Robeam 22/1, C&D winner. 50/1, good 4¼ lengths third of 10 to Baileys Warrior in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Worthy of respect. Inconsistent and his two recent placed efforts at big prices probably reflect that..
7
4th (7) (10/1 +70%) Wahoo King
10
10/1(+70%)
(7) Wahoo King 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Bath (13f, soft) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Five-race maiden who has shown little so far; steps up in trip in first-time cheekpieces..
8
5th (8) (22/1 -175%) Highland Lil
22
22/1(-175%)
(8) Highland Lil 22/1, 13/2, first run since leaving Tom Dascombe when respectable ninth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Not ruled out. Nine-race maiden but step up in trip may bring about improvement..
6
6th (6) (50/1 0%) Kitten's Dream
50
50/1(0%)
(6) Kitten's Dream 50/1, Unreliable individual. Course winner. Thirty two runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 125/1) 9 days ago. Others preferred. On a long losing run and hard to fancy..
3
7th (3) (28/1 -75%) Easy Equation
28
28/1(-75%)
(3) Easy Equation 28/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Winless when with Charlie Fellowes and has shown little in two runs for his current yard..
4
8th (4) (13/2 +80%) Lumberjack
6.5
13/2(+80%)
(4) Lumberjack 13/2, 50/1, last of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, heavy) 46 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Barry Brennan. Eight-race maiden making his stable debut for his fifth trainer..
18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BAILEYS WARRIOR recorded a commanding success over C&D on his return from a 75-day absence three weeks ago and, from just 3lb higher, this looks a good opportunity to double up. Robeam finished four-and-a-quarter lengths behind in third that day but more will be needed to reverse that form, so Addosh, who returns from a brief spell over hurdles, might be the bigger threat.
BAILEYS WARRIOR is more consitent than most at this level and arrives on the back of a likeable performance to score over C&D last time, so she's the most solid option for all that Addosh is potentially well handicapped back on the level. Robeam is also respected.
This should take little winning and BAILEYS WARRIOR looks set to follow up after her win here three weeks ago. Addosh is next best.
(8) El Zoud 1/1, Kingman colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Khayzaraan, and half-brother to 12.5f winner Murafrif and very smart winner up to 6.5f Tantheem. Promising third of 9 in a warm novice (7/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut. Off 11 months. Should have more to offer. Absent since November but that was a promising debut over 7f at Newcastle.
2
2nd (2) (5/2 +29%) Leadman
2.5
5/2(+29%)
(2) Leadman 5/2, Fairly useful maiden. Good fourth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Sandown (7f, soft) 31 days ago and more than capable of winning one of these. 0-6 (odds-on four times) but hasn't run a bad race; looks sure to be involved.
5
3rd (5) (13/8 -30%) She's A Warrior
1.625
13/8(-30%)
(5) She's A Warrior 13/8, Promising type. Better for debut to win 9-runner maiden at this C&D (10/11) 38 days ago. Likely to improve again and can defy a penalty. This might be a better race than the one she won over C&D; still respected.
1
4th (1) (40/1 -300%) Tasdeed
40
40/1(-300%)
(1) Tasdeed 40/1, €140,000 yearling, 1,000 gns 2-y-o, Wootton Bassett colt. Closely related to French 7.5f-11f winner Le Duc. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f winner. Blinkered, won 12-runner maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 18/1) on debut 27 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis. Open to progress. Beat a subsequent winner at Newcastle but will do well to defy a penalty.
11
5th (11) (14/1 -40%) Port Road
14
14/1(-40%)
(11) Port Road 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 9 in novice at this course (7f, 11/2) 47 days ago. Bit to find with the principals. Ahead of She's A Warrior two runs back and similar form when third next time; player.
10
6th (10) (40/1 -100%) Ombrecell
40
40/1(-100%)
(10) Ombrecell 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in novice at Southwell (8.1f, 10/3) 18 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Poor last time but now hooded and not without hope given his debut promise here.
12
7th (12) (25/1 -150%) Tazima
25
25/1(-150%)
(12) Tazima 25/1, €30,000 yearling, resold €68,000 yearling, Awtaad colt. Closely related to 3 winners, including high-class winner up to 1½m Taghrooda and useful 11.6f-17f winner Almuhit. Dam 1m-1¾m winner. Notable newcomer on paper. 68,000euros yearling; closely related to the top-class 1m-1m4f performer Taghrooda.
7
8th (7) (200/1 -300%) Blue Sky Boy
200
200/1(-300%)
(7) Blue Sky Boy 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis when ninth of 14 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good, 80/1) 28 days ago. Debut promise but he was 80-1 when well held at Windsor.
4
9th (4) (300/1 -200%) Uncle Lester
300
300/1(-200%)
(4) Uncle Lester 300/1, Once-raced maiden on Flat. 200/1, thirteenth of 14 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good) on flat debut 28 days ago, lost all chance at start. Tailed off in a Worcester bumper and suffered the same fate on Flat debut (1m).
6
10th (6) (300/1 -200%) Aye Spyed
300
300/1(-200%)
(6) Aye Spyed 300/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 13 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good, 66/1) on debut. Off 15 months. Significantly up in trip. Finished last over 6f at Yarmouth and that was 15 months ago.
9
11th (9) (300/1 -200%) Emperor Dream
300
300/1(-200%)
(9) Emperor Dream 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving T. J. Kent when last of 10 in novice at this C&D 68 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Has trailed home last in both his races (latest C&D) and a hood now goes on.
3
12th (3) (300/1 -355%) Tarka Country
300
300/1(-355%)
(3) Tarka Country 300/1, Once-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 10 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good) on debut. Off 93 days. 200-1 when a tailed-off last over 7f at Salisbury three months ago.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SHE'S A WARRIOR finished a creditable third over C&D on her debut before going on to score with ease here next time, and any further progress could see the filly go in again. That said, Leadman sets the standard with an official rating of 83 and he ought to have a say. Ombrecell wouldn't be without a chance should a first-time hood help him to settle, while others to note include El Zoud and Newcastle scorer Tasdeed.
SHE'S A WARRIOR picked up really well once the penny dropped when beating a subsequent winner over this C&D last month and she looks capable of defying a penalty. This does look a decent novice, though, with El Zoud and Leadman likely threats.
His second run has been a long time coming but EL ZOUD ran a hugely promising first race at Newcastle.
(6) Port Noir 5/1, 4-time course winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 14 days ago, never nearer. Merits some respect from a reduced mark. Multiple wins up to 7f; stamina query over C&D latest but she kept on well into 4th.
10
2nd (10) (12/1 +40%) Juan Cool Dude
12
12/1(+40%)
(10) Juan Cool Dude 12/1, Fifth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 25/1) 11 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Had a few goes off modest marks, tending to be a weak finisher at 1m and 1m2f.
8
3rd (8) (6/1 -100%) Rubellite
6
6/1(-100%)
(8) Rubellite 6/1, Course winner. 12/1, second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 27 days ago, conceding first run. Can make presence felt. Course winner in January; back to form at Newcastle latest; in the thick of it.
4
4th (4) (18/1 -260%) Fitz Perfectly
18
18/1(-260%)
(4) Fitz Perfectly 18/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy, 4/1) 52 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes. Worth monitoring in the betting. Maiden; pick of 1m form on Polytrack offers hope on course/yard debut.
1
5th (1) (18/1 +28%) Olympic Quest
18
18/1(+28%)
(1) Olympic Quest 18/1, C&D winner. 100/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 30 days ago. Needs to get back on track. C&D winner in January; had some off days since but not beaten far here on latest AW run.

(7) Forever Proud 7/5, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 15/8) 25 days ago. Stable debut prior to that was encouraging and she's worth another chance. Both 1m2f wins on Polytrack; beaten favourite both starts for new yard; course debut.
2
7th (2) (11/2 +78%) Beaming Light
5.5
11/2(+78%)
(2) Beaming Light 11/2, Seventh of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (16.6f) 21 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Others preferred. Promise over 1m in June but hasn't fared well in handicaps over various trips, 2m latest.
3
8th (3) (16/1 -33%) Van Zant
16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Van Zant 16/1, Course winner. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (9/1). Off 154 days. Hard to make a case for unless the market speaks in his favour. Excellent run of form on Tapeta in the spring; soundly beaten over C&D in May; off since.
9
9th (9) (18/1 -227%) Kenstone
18
18/1(-227%)
(9) Kenstone 18/1, Course winner. Good second of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm, 16/1) 42 days ago, flattered by proximity. Back up in trip. Worthy of respect. Has C&D form; weighted to go well if wide stall doesn't count against him.
12
10th (12) (66/1 -100%) Rising From Embers
66
66/1(-100%)
(12) Rising From Embers 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighth of 11 in novice at Kempton (6f) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Looks limited. Modest form at 7f and 6f; bred to fare much better up in trip now handicapping.
5
11th (5) (50/1 -317%) Precious Lagatha
50
50/1(-317%)
(5) Precious Lagatha 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in maiden (33/1) at this C&D. Off 21 months. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. Makes handicap debut. Has plenty to prove. Hint of ability on AW but off since early 2023; likely to need this; new yard.
11
12th (11) (80/1 -60%) Metal Beau
80
80/1(-60%)
(11) Metal Beau 80/1, 100/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good). Off 100 days. Hard to fancy. Had few chances but little of note as yet.
19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 8.5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PORT NOIR hasn't been easy to win with lately, but her recent fourth over course and distance signalled somewhat of a return to form. Robert Stephens' charge is now 2lb below his last successful mark and in a race lacking much depth, another step in the right direction might suffice. Rubellite finished a creditable second over 1m2f at Newcastle last month and is of interest down in trip. Olympic Quest showed little in two starts at Bath recently but she will appreciate a return to the all-weather.
FOREVER PROUD disappointed at Chelmsford last time but the race may have come too soon and she's liable to bounce back after more of a break, so she's worth chancing. Rubellite and Fitz Perfectly arrive in good order and should be on the premises.
Port Noir seemed to stay this trip here last time but preference is for RUBELLITE after her return to form at Newcastle recently.
(4) Follow Your Heart 4/1, C&D winner. 33/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Last win was ten months ago and he's been quiet in last five runs; others preferred.
1
2nd (1) (11/2 +31%) Sandy Paradise
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(1) Sandy Paradise 11/2, C&D winner. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Triple course winner who ran better than the bare facts over C&D last time; in the mix.
6
3rd (6) (4/1 -78%) Starshiba
4
4/1(-78%)
(6) Starshiba 4/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 11/1) 13 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction. AW specialist who has been placed in his last two runs; should go well again.
9
4th (9) (18/1 -80%) Vince Lombardi
18
18/1(-80%)
(9) Vince Lombardi 18/1, 6/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Disappointing in last three runs and he's 0-6 at this trip; others are more convincing.
7
5th (7) (10/1 +38%) Dynamic Talent
10
10/1(+38%)
(7) Dynamic Talent 10/1, C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (66/1) at this C&D 3 days ago, very slowly away. Others more persuasive. Dual C&D winner but he's been out of sorts here in last three starts; plenty to prove.
2
6th (2) (7/2 -40%) Thapa Vc
3.5
7/2(-40%)
(2) Thapa Vc 7/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. 12/1, good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. Can make presence felt. 11 wins at 7f and was runner-up behind a major improver over C&D latest; big player.
10
7th (10) (22/1 -175%) Clipsham La Habana
22
22/1(-175%)
(10) Clipsham La Habana 22/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Has solid record since joining his current yard and shouldn't be far away.
3
8th (3) (7/1 +13%) Strike
7
7/1(+13%)
(3) Strike 7/1, 15/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 31 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Three wins this season and had an excuse on slow ground latest; dangerous back at 7f on AW.
8
9th (8) (22/1 -10%) Letmelivemylife
22
22/1(-10%)
(8) Letmelivemylife 22/1, 40/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 25 days ago. Something to find on form. Last win was in April 2023 and he's finished in rear in both runs for new trainer.
5
10th (5) (28/1 -40%) Epsom Faithfull
28
28/1(-40%)
(5) Epsom Faithfull 28/1, 3-time C&D winner. 28/1, last of 8 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago. Two AW wins last winter but she's lost her way and needs to get back on track.
19:15 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
With a lack of recent winning form to work with it may pay to focus on those with the best course form, and that points us to the chances of EPSOM FAITHFULL. Her seven wins on the all-weather include four here at Kempton, three over this trip off higher marks, and she's taken to go close. Thapa VC is an obvious threat after his recent C&D second, while Strike can also get involved.
THAPA VC looked as good as ever when runner-up over C&D 12 days ago and can go one better off the same mark. Starshiba ran his best race for a while when second at Newcastle and is next best ahead of Clipsham La Habana.
Top of the list is prolific winner THAPA VC (nap), who was as good as ever when runner-up behind a major improver over C&D last time.
(4) Ravenglass 10/3, Twenty-eight runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers replace hood. Losing run up to 28, but well treated on pick of AW form; possibilities.
12
2nd (12) (25/1 +0%) Guildford
25
25/1(+0%)
(12) Guildford 25/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 33/1) 21 days ago, going off too hard. Tough to assess at present. Little to get excited about in six starts; best watched.
8
3rd (8) (10/1 +50%) Eccentric
10
10/1(+50%)
(8) Eccentric 10/1, 20/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 9 days ago. Back over a more suitable trip with blinkers back on. 8lb below sole winning mark; has run well over C&D and could go well again.
2
4th (2) (2/1 +67%) Meng Tian
2
2/1(+67%)
(2) Meng Tian 2/1, C&D winner. 10/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 25 days ago, slowly away. Needs to cast that effort aside. 2lb lower than when winning over C&D in April; high on list if back to that sort of form.
10
5th (10) (15/2 +6%) Inexplicable
7.5
15/2(+6%)
(10) Inexplicable 15/2, Seven-time C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Eight-time course winner; not easy to predict, but capable of making his presence felt.
3
6th (3) (15/2 -200%) Tasever
7.5
15/2(-200%)
(3) Tasever 15/2, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft, 28/1) 46 days ago. Long-standing maiden but he can remain competitive. Ran well when third last time, but 0-21 and the outside stall not helpful.
9
7th (9) (33/1 -136%) Peachey Carnehan
33
33/1(-136%)
(9) Peachey Carnehan 33/1, Nine-time course winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (6.1f) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces replace usual visor. Nine-time winner here, but is attempting this far for only the second time in 159 starts.
1
8th (1) (16/1 -60%) Mr Slicker
16
16/1(-60%)
(1) Mr Slicker 16/1, Thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Chantilly (8f, 20/1). Off 150 days. First run for yard after leaving Mme R. Edwardsson Giron and not an easy one to assess. Won eight races on the AW in France; watch market on stable debut after five months off.
5
9th (5) (6/1 -80%) Eva Rosie
6
6/1(-80%)
(5) Eva Rosie 6/1, 8/1, respectable third of 10 in minor event at this course (12.2f). Off 98 days and back down in trip. 0-12 but placed in five 0-50 classified events on the AW this year; each-way claims again.
19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Inexplicable is due to go down 2lb for future races but has been capable off this mark in the past with eight wins here. He can go well but MR SLICKER intrigues on his first start for new connections. A multiple winner in France at Chantilly and Deauville, he looks more than interesting off a mark of 52, leaving Tasever to follow them home.
Hard to make a compelling case for any of these, so long-standing maiden TASEVER gets the tentative nod from his career-low mark with a good-value claimer booked. Eva Roise and Handel are a couple of dangers.
The vote goes to MENG TIAN who has dropped 2lb lower than when successful over C&D in April.
(1) Berry Clever 4/1, 9/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 33 days ago. Has shown that he's up to winning a race and the latest run didn't really go to plan.
2
2nd (2) (12/1 +14%) Just Rita
12
12/1(+14%)
(2) Just Rita 12/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 9/1) 25 days ago, slowly away. 11-race maiden; has placed form but only sixth in her last three races.
5
3rd (5) (15/2 -88%) Gultari
7.5
15/2(-88%)
(5) Gultari 15/2, Winner at Yarmouth in August. Fourth of 7 in handicap (11/4) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago. Has to be taken seriously back down in class. AW figures aren't as good as those on turf; what could help is returning to 7f.
12
4th (12) (13/8 +68%) Stacey Racey
1.625
13/8(+68%)
(12) Stacey Racey 13/8, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 3 days ago. Getting better with each recent run. Doubled her tally over C&D last month and found just one too good back here on Friday.
3
5th (3) (16/1 -220%) Tambourine Dream
16
16/1(-220%)
(3) Tambourine Dream 16/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 13/2) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. No wins in eight but placed here in the past and in 1m AW handicaps the last twice.
7
6th (7) (9/1 +10%) East Bank
9
9/1(+10%)
(7) East Bank 9/1, Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (6f) 20 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Front-runner whose new 7lb claiming rider will have to get his fractions right.
11
7th (11) (14/1 -75%) Grecian God
14
14/1(-75%)
(11) Grecian God 14/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in August. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Can give a good account. 7f winner elsewhere; good latest effort here when running on late for placed honours.
6
8th (6) (28/1 -75%) Thundering Breeze
28
28/1(-75%)
(6) Thundering Breeze 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 89 days ago, hampered. Makes polytrack debut. Plenty to find on form. Quiet novice runs; went off 16-1 for handicap debut (1m) and never featured.
4
9th (4) (20/1 -150%) Zinchenko
20
20/1(-150%)
(4) Zinchenko 20/1, Good fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Another maiden whose turn will probably come and cheekpieces may give him a lift.
13
10th (13) (11/1 +8%) Katie G
11
11/1(+8%)
(13) Katie G 11/1, Latest win at Southwell in August. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Visor back on. In form until finishing sixth here last time when on the back foot after starting slowly.
8
11th (8) (28/1 -100%) Mizuumi
28
28/1(-100%)
(8) Mizuumi 28/1, Course winner. 13/2, tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. 0-7 since her winning debut here before Christmas and beat just two home here last month.
10
12th (10) (50/1 +0%) Magic Fluke
50
50/1(+0%)
(10) Magic Fluke 50/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 80/1) 11 days ago. Former exploits offer hope but little to shout about in three runs for current yard.
14
13th (14) (50/1 -213%) Au Lait
50
50/1(-213%)
(14) Au Lait 50/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Gowran (7f, heavy, 13/2). Off 158 days. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving W. McCreery. Blinkers on 1st time. Ex-Irish maiden; some promise last year but down the field in this season's two runs.
9
14th (9) (80/1 -300%) Tangled Up In Blue
80
80/1(-300%)
(9) Tangled Up In Blue 80/1, 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm). Off 133 days. Ten-race maiden placed a few times, but not this year and she's poorly drawn.
19:45 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Chris Dwyer has booked Oisin Murphy to ride top-weight Berry Clever and, although still a maiden, he could go close dropping in class. Tambourine Dream is also interesting in first-time cheekpieces after a couple of decent third-placed efforts, but GULTARI may have an edge. She was a solid fourth at Wolverhampton last month, won as recently as August on the turf and looks the most reliable runner in the field.
GULTARI is worth another chance on AW back down in class. The in-form Stacey Racey is next best ahead of Zinchenko.
James Fanshawe's TAMBOURINE DREAM has been knocking on the door and she'll get a good pace to chase back at 7f.
(7) Beset 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 33 days ago, no match for winner but seeing this trip out well. Five-race maiden who finished second at Lingfield last month on her handicap debut..
6
2nd (6) (9/1 +25%) Southern Voyage
9
9/1(+25%)
(6) Southern Voyage 9/1, 10/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 10 days ago, weakening having taken a strong hold. Now below last winning mark. Scored at Doncaster in May off 2lb higher mark but placed only once since..
8
3rd (8) (9/1 +44%) Royal Praise
9
9/1(+44%)
(8) Royal Praise 9/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in June. Last of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 44 days ago, reportedly returning lame. Back up in trip. 100-1 winner off this mark at Chelmsford in June; back up in trip..
5
4th (5) (7/2 +22%) Sugarloaf Lenny
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(5) Sugarloaf Lenny 7/2, Latest win at Lingfield in September. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 3/1) 18 days ago in his quest for the hat-trick. In good form with wins at Yarmouth in August and Lingfield last month..
4
5th (4) (9/4 +36%) Bobacious
2.25
9/4(+36%)
(4) Bobacious 9/4, 13/8, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 30 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut and he remains of interest. Both wins this year at 1m2f; trip query as looked a non-stayer over 1mk4f in August.
2
6th (2) (4/1 -78%) Genesius
4
4/1(-78%)
(2) Genesius 4/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 3/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, soft) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Has good chance on form having been eased 1 lb. Has been largely consistent this year, finishing third at Catterick 12 days ago..
1
7th (1) (18/1 +45%) Sun Tracker
18
18/1(+45%)
(1) Sun Tracker 18/1, Hooded for first time, seventh of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Kempton (12f). Off 7 months and given a chance by the handicapper but work to do on balance of form for this yard. Returned from a break when third over C&D last November but has failed to build on that..
9
8th (9) (150/1 -838%) Winter Life
150
150/1(-838%)
(9) Winter Life 150/1, Last of 5 in handicap (16/1) at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 64 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Johnston. Seven-race maiden; unplaced in four handicaps and best watched for new yard.
3
9th (3) (14/1 -40%) El Pro
14
14/1(-40%)
(3) El Pro 14/1, Cheekpieces on for first time, last of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm). Off 130 days. Significantly back up in trip (campaigned over this sort of distance in Germany). Maiden back from break and may need more weight off his back..
20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BESET remains a maiden after five starts, but she showed plenty of improvement when stepped up to this trip at Lingfield last month where she finished second. Any further progress may see the Expert Eye filly get off the mark, with Sugarloaf Lenny her biggest rival. Wins at Yarmouth and Lingfield this season were followed by a fourth at Southwell but he may still place, with Bobacious another to at least consider.
GENESIUS arrives on the back of a pair of solid placed efforts and eased 1 lb, he makes plenty of appeal. Bobacious is rarely missed in the market and can remain competitive at this level, while 3-y-o Beset is not yet fully exposed.
C&D winner GENESIUS looks the one to be on here off a career-low mark. The unexposed Beset looks the main danger.
(4) Naasma 9/1, 11/1, respectable 5 lengths third of 8 to Tailorman in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Third here trying this trip for the first time but was no match for the front two.
5
2nd (5) (5/1 +17%) Francesco Baracca
5
5/1(+17%)
(5) Francesco Baracca 5/1, Course winner. Latest win here in August. Last of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 3/1) 34 days ago, possibly amiss. Significantly up in trip with a hood on for the first time. Course winner but will be into unknown territory a long way from home over this far.
2
3rd (2) (3/1 -71%) Dynamiste
3
3/1(-71%)
(2) Dynamiste 3/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm, 11/1) 29 days ago, suited by way race developed. Further step up in trip will suit and major player in pursuit of a hat-trick. Has won her last two; up 4lb for Bath but only appeared to do enough.
3
4th (3) (16/1 -100%) Capstan
16
16/1(-100%)
(3) Capstan 16/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in April. 11/1, 10¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Tailorman in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Yet to fully convince over 2m. Beaten 10l returned to 2m here 19 days ago when behind Tailorman and Naasma.
1
5th (1) (10/11 +48%) Tailorman
0.909091
10/11(+48%)
(1) Tailorman 10/11, 5/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, getting first run and just holding on. 4 lb rise won't prevent very bold follow-up bid. Goes well for Ryan Kavanagh and continued his good run of form over C&D 19 days ago.
20:15 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A small field and Tailorman is the only C&D winner in the line-up after he scored by a nose here last month. He can go well, but an added 4lb from the handicapper may be enough to stop him. DYNAMISTE has been put up the same amount for her Bath success but she tries a new trip now and may improve for it. Francesco Baracca is an interesting alternative if he reacts well to a first-time hood.
DYNAMISTE has got his act together upped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces of late and with her stamina drawn out further here, the hat-trick may well be forthcoming. Tailorman also won last time and is the obvious threat.
This can go to TAILORMAN who is likeably consistent and was nicely clear of Naasma when winning here 19 days ago.
(10) Cerulean Summer 13/2, Creditable second of 9 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 17 days ago though slow starts are becoming the norm with her. Slow starts have become a habit but she still went close over C&D 17 days ago.
11
2nd (11) (13/2 +7%) Coloane
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(11) Coloane 13/2, One win from 22 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 9/1) 26 days ago, left with too much to do. That effort suggests she's in reasonable nick. Regressed since her Pontefract win in July but she does have form around here.
1
3rd (1) (6/1 +70%) Outrace
6
6/1(+70%)
(1) Outrace 6/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Drops in class but still has a fair amount to prove. Hasn't won for a good while and has been well below his best the last twice.
5
4th (5) (17/2 -13%) Mykonos St John
8.5
17/2(-13%)
(5) Mykonos St John 17/2, Course winner. Latest win here in September. 17/2, undone by a penalty when sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago. Others more persuasive. 33-1 winner over 8.6f here last month but inconsistent and fared less well last week.
3
5th (3) (6/1 +40%) Paradoxical
6
6/1(+40%)
(3) Paradoxical 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, first run since leaving Sylvester Kirk when sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 14 days ago. Down in trip. 0-5 and showed no improvement on stable debut having been gelded.
2
6th (2) (11/1 -144%) Cariad
11
11/1(-144%)
(2) Cariad 11/1, Course winner. 9/2, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Visor back on. Has to be taken seriously eased 1 lb. In fair form and well worth another go over today's extended 1m1f.
4
7th (4) (14/1 -40%) Persian Phoenix
14
14/1(-40%)
(4) Persian Phoenix 14/1, Eighteen runs since sole win in 2023. Tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces on for the first time. Sole win came here in a novice; cheekpieces could help, as might an easy lead.

16/1(-256%)
(6) Blue Hero 16/1, Latest win at Bath in July. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 29 days ago., particularly as he was forced to switch. Not taken lightly. Always goes well at Bath (as last time) but does have placed form on the AW.
7
9th (7) (3/1 +57%) Cuban Harry
3
3/1(+57%)
(7) Cuban Harry 3/1, Opened account over 8.7f here in September. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 15/2) 12 days ago and needs to settle better to stay this new trip. Disappointing at Kempton but two solid performances here prior to that.
8
10th (8) (33/1 -32%) Speed Court
33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Speed Court 33/1, First run since leaving Harry Eustace when ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (66/1) 9 days ago, slowly away. Needs to build on that with cheekpieces removed. Left Harry Eustace in September and was only ninth of 12 on stable debut over C&D.
9
11th (9) (25/1 -25%) Ultimate Sapphire
25
25/1(-25%)
(9) Ultimate Sapphire 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in novice (200/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 28 days ago. Handicaps more suitable. Poor so far; goes handicapping at a realistic level but market support is needed.
20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
With very little recent winning form to work with, it may be worth considering Mykonos St John, a winner here over shorter in September, but only sixth at Southwell when dropped back to a mile. The seven-year-old can go well, but a chance is taken on CERULEAN SUMMER. Upped just 1lb after a close-up C&D second in September after a slow start, she could go one better here. Persian Phoenix is another to consider in first-time cheekpieces.
CARIAD is just 1 lb above her last successful mark and with this slight step up in trip expected to help her cause, she's just about the most appealing option. Blue Hero and Cerulean Summer are a couple of potential threats.
Charlie Johnston's PERSIAN PHOENIX is on a recovery mission but she's in first-time cheekpieces and could get a soft lead up front.

About U.K Horse Racing
Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
