Races & Results Wednesday 13th November 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Obsidian Knight 6/4, C&D winner. 11/4, fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 11 days ago, never nearer. Mark has eased a little more ahead of this and he's one to consider. Won't mind the drop in trip into a bigger field off a career-low mark; on the shortlist.
8
2nd (8) (66/1 -500%) Crafter
66
66/1(-500%)
(8) Crafter 66/1, 28/1, shaped better than the bare result on the back of 7 months off when fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago, not knocked about. Entitled to be sharper now. Little room for manoeuvre off this mark under an inexperienced partner; each-way shout.
4
3rd (4) (7/1 +30%) Francesi
7
7/1(+30%)
(4) Francesi 7/1, Course winner. One win from 31 Flat runs. Twenty-seven runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Better showing anticipated returned to this venue for all his strike rate tempers enthusiasm. Goes well here; will need some luck if dropped in as usual under an inexperienced partner.
3
4th (3) (7/1 -56%) Achillea
7
7/1(-56%)
(3) Achillea 7/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chelmsford in October. 11/4, sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 13 days ago, no extra last ½f. Return to this shorter trip rates a likely plus on that evidence. Didn't see out 1m3f last time but previously fine with this trip at Chelmsford; player.
11
5th (11) (50/1 -400%) Moon Over The Sea
50
50/1(-400%)
(11) Moon Over The Sea 50/1, Proved consistent earlier this year, adding to his tally at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f) when last seen in June and no surprise to see a good showing. Fine on Polytrack but might just need this back from five months out.
5
6th (5) (8/1 +27%) Star Pupil
8
8/1(+27%)
(5) Star Pupil 8/1, Showed improved form when opening his account on qualifying run at Wolverhampton (6f) in April. Seen only twice since, possibly in need of the run after 5 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. New trip is a possibility on pedigree but it's a step into the unknown; market useful.
6
7th (6) (6/1 +40%) Masqool
6
6/1(+40%)
(6) Masqool 6/1, 3-time C&D winner. 14/1, seventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 21 days ago, keeping on when forced to switch 2f out. Back up in trip now and cheekpieces worn for each of his last 2 victories return now. Better last time; the cheekpieces return and a step back up from 1m looks in his favour.
9
8th (9) (16/1 -100%) Forge Valley Lad
16
16/1(-100%)
(9) Forge Valley Lad 16/1, 4-time course winner. 13/2, not disgraced when fourth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 46 days ago, left with lot to do. Assessor has relinquished his grip a little more and he's not dismissed out of hand. Last four wins have come here, three of them over 1m4f, but he has regressed this year.
7
9th (7) (28/1 +15%) Yamamah
28
28/1(+15%)
(7) Yamamah 28/1, Visored for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (40/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft) 22 days ago, dropping away having set a strong gallop Cheekpieces on 1st time and she needs to get back on track. Struggled badly since returning from the UAE; would want to see good support.
2
10th (2) (11/2 +0%) Finn Russell
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(2) Finn Russell 11/2, Back on the scoresheet at Carlisle (9f) in August and made the frame next 2 starts in handicaps on turf. Proved too free when below form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 54 days ago but no forlorn hope back on the level. Returns from a short break; has never won off a mark quite this high but hard to discount.
10
11th (10) (66/1 -100%) Sun Festival
66
66/1(-100%)
(10) Sun Festival 66/1, Successful 3 times on turf/AW last year but struggled to get competitive since returning to action, twelfth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford (10f) 27 days ago. Others rate stronger. Ran poorly three times since returning from an absence; some way down the pecking order.
11:35 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It might pay to take a chance on the James Evans-trained MASQOOL. The gelded son of Invincible Spirit hasn't been at his best recently, but a return to this course and distance, which has yielded three victories, may well spark a revival. Obsidian Knight didn't quite see out 1m4f at Southwell last time and the drop in trip looks to be a positive move, while others to note include Finn Russell and Forge Valley Lad.
A number arrive with chances including dual C&D winner OBSIDIAN KNIGHT. Far from disgraced when fourth on his latest start at Southwell 11 days ago, he's fallen to a handy mark and could be ready to strike back down in trip. Achillea and Francesi are others to consider, whilst Masqool is another to keep an eye on from a further reduced mark, with the cheekpieces refitted.
Obsidian Knight is second choice behind MASQOOL, who ticks plenty of boxes going back up in trip and back in cheekpieces.
(2) Sun Dancer Girl 11/2, Progressed from a low base earlier this term, winnings 3 times at up to 14.1f. May have needed outing, back from 3 months off, when last of 7 at Southwell (12.1f) 11 days ago and can't be discounted. Held last time but is difficult to dismiss, being 2-2 at Lingfield (AW/turf).
3
2nd (3) (1/1 +60%) Glimmer Of Light
1
1/1(+60%)
(3) Glimmer Of Light 1/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was returning from 4 months off when creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 12/1) 32 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and holds solid claims. Has some encouraging AW form; this new trip is worth exploring; respected.
1
3rd (1) (7/2 -56%) Turner Girl
3.5
7/2(-56%)
(1) Turner Girl 7/2, 16/1, creditable third of 16 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Visor back on. Figures off a handy mark and must enter calculations. Largely consistent and 1lb below last winning mark; exposed but looks solid.
5
4th (5) (28/1 -100%) Equuleus Star
28
28/1(-100%)
(5) Equuleus Star 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, tenth of 14 in maiden at Kempton (11f) 42 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping but others are more appealing. May fare better now handicapping but doesn't look totally solid off this mark.
4
5th (4) (8/1 -23%) Ghost Story
8
8/1(-23%)
(4) Ghost Story 8/1, Winner at Nottingham (10.2f) on second start in July but no further improvement on handicaps since, latest when fifth of 7 at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) 29 days ago. Work to do. Not disgraced in her two handicap runs, albeit without showing further progress.
6
6th (6) (9/1 +36%) Tianita
9
9/1(+36%)
(6) Tianita 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 33/1) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Must improve. Out of a Lancashire Oaks winner for her connections; interesting upped to 1m4f.
12:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Turner Girl and Sun Dancer Girl are arguably the two leading contenders on current form and both merit respect, as does the unexposed Glimmer Of Light, who was far from disgraced at Chelmsford last month. That said, although TIANITA has made little impact on both of her runs since sent handicapping, she could offer some value. Plenty of stamina on the dam's side would suggest she can improve for this step up in trip and the booking of David Probert catches the eye.
Preference is for TURNER GIRL, who arrives in good form and is 1 lb below her last winning mark. Glimmer of LIght may provide the chief threat.
The most interesting contenders are the five-race maidens TIANITA and Glimmer Of Light, who look open to improvement.
(6) Jagwar 5/2, Good-looking sort who created a favourable impression on his chasing bow when readily landing 8-runner handicap (evens) at Wetherby (19.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Up 5 lb but big shout with more to offer. Jumping improved as the race went on when justifying market confidence at Wetherby.
1
2nd (1) (4/1 +20%) Lowry's Bar
4
4/1(+20%)
(1) Lowry's Bar 4/1, Winner of his first 4 starts over hurdles last term. Resumed with a good fourth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 32 days ago so he's an interesting chasing newcomer. Went 4-6 over hurdles; nice reappearance in a valuable handicap and now goes chasing.
10
3rd (10) (16/1 +11%) Garincha
16
16/1(+11%)
(10) Garincha 16/1, Off for 18 months since landing 5-runner handicap chase at Ffos Las (20.9f). Also took this event in 2022 so can't be dismissed despite his long absence. Won this two years ago; long absence to overcome but he's feasibly handicapped.
5
4th (5) (22/1 -144%) Mount Tempest
22
22/1(-144%)
(5) Mount Tempest 22/1, Improved for the fitting of blinkers when scoring at Sandown and Wetherby either side of Christmas. Ended last term with a solid second in 2m Wincanton handicap chase and player on his return. Exposed at about 2m but could have some improvement lurking now sent up in distance.
7
5th (7) (13/2 +28%) Tanganyika
6.5
13/2(+28%)
(7) Tanganyika 13/2, Enjoyed a good last season over hurdles when scoring here and at Newbury. Sort his yard does well with in this sphere so very much one to consider on his return. Four hurdle wins; something to prove off this high a mark but should make a chaser.
4
6th (4) (25/1 +11%) Santonito
25
25/1(+11%)
(4) Santonito 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Gordon Elliott and made an encouraging start chasing for his new yard with third placings at Uttoxeter and Southwell in early summer. Not ruled out after a break. Dual Irish winner; respectable in both chases for this yard and should be winning soon.
9
7th (9) (33/1 +0%) Ostend
33
33/1(+0%)
(9) Ostend 33/1, Scored at Kilbeggan last April for Peter Croke and not disgraced on his yard bow when seventh of 16 in 2m3f Ascot handicap hurdle in February. Needs to hit the ground running now chasing after 9 months off. Winning hurdler; has a big field to deal with on this switch to fences.
3
8th (3) (12/1 -71%) Lord Of Cheshire
12
12/1(-71%)
(3) Lord Of Cheshire 12/1, Overcame some mistakes to make a winning chasing debut in 4-runner handicap at Fontwell (19.5f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Can build on it so he needs considering. Only 2lb higher than for narrow chase debut win at Fontwell; jumped soundly enough.
13
9th (13) (50/1 -52%) Le Cameleon
50
50/1(-52%)
(13) Le Cameleon 50/1, Largely disappointing of late and only ninth of 13 in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good) 147 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Below par in his three runs for Kim Bailey but has time on his side to turn things around.
2
|F| (2) (25/1 +38%) Abbeydale
25
25/1(+38%)
(2) Abbeydale 25/1, A fairly useful 2m hurdler for Gordon Elliott but he was a below-par ninth at Ayr for his new yard in April. Sort to bounce back on his reappearance/first go over fences. Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland; breeding points to likely improvement over fences.
12
10th (12) (22/1 +33%) Champagnesuperover
22
22/1(+33%)
(12) Champagnesuperover 22/1, Dual chaser winner around 3m in spring 2022. Lightly raced since and offered little when fourth of 5 in 2m Newton Abbot handicap two weeks ago. Lots more is required. Well handicapped and last run over too short was positive; lightly raced recent times.
14
11th (14) (33/1 +0%) Post Chaise
33
33/1(+0%)
(14) Post Chaise 33/1, Notched a fifth win over the larger obstacles at Market Rasen (27.6f) in May. Off 5 months before a below-par fourth of 5 at Stratford last month. More is required here. This trip looks on the sharp side and he's seemingly not the stable's main hope.
16
12th (16) (16/1 -33%) Heroique De Maulde
16
16/1(-33%)
(16) Heroique De Maulde 16/1, Scored at Doncaster last season for James Ewart and ended with a good second at Newcastle when fitted with cheekpieces. Considered for new yard. Handicapped to have a say here if sufficiently straight after his time out.
11
13th (11) (80/1 -300%) Carrigeen Castle
80
80/1(-300%)
(11) Carrigeen Castle 80/1, Much improved sent chasing last season, landing handicaps at Newcastle and Wetherby (2). One to consider on his seasonal return. Did well last season when sent chasing but this mark could be challenging.
15
|PU| (15) (22/1 -10%) Scene One
22
22/1(-10%)
(15) Scene One 22/1, Scored at Market Rasen last January and continued in good form after. One for the shortlist on his return from an easing mark. Won two handicap chases last season, including first time back; stable does well here.
12:25 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Lord Of Cheshire struck on his chase debut at Fontwell last month and it would be no surprise to see him go close off only 2lb higher. However, JAGWAR may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests on his comeback at Wetherby so a 5lb rise might prove to be lenient. With the likelihood of more to come on only his second start over fences, the lightly-raced five-year-old could be the one to beat. Lowry's Bar completes the shortlist.
Plenty are in with a shout but it's hard to side against JAGWAR who still looks ahead of his mark despite taking a 5 lb rise for his stylish chasing debut victory at Wetherby last month. Dan Skelton's returning Mount Tempest heads the list of dangers, with fencing debutants Lowry's Bar and Tanganyika also in the picture too. Heroique de Maulde completes the shortlist in this intriguing handicap.
Competitive. Lucy Wadham has a good record at Bangor and her dual chase winner SCENE ONE hit the ground running last season.
(7) Present Times 5/6, Offered plenty to work on when runner-up on debut at Newmarket (8f) in September. Proved disappointing over same C&D last time but remains with potential. Short-priced failure on soft ground last time; has potential but needs to settle better.
9
2nd (9) (14/1 -40%) Venezuelan
14
14/1(-40%)
(9) Venezuelan 14/1, Once-raced maiden. 5/1, eighth of 12 in novice at Kempton (8f) on debut 33 days ago. Should have more to offer. Better was expected on his Kempton debut a month ago; will need a good step forward.
8
3rd (8) (14/1 +44%) Sourdough
14
14/1(+44%)
(8) Sourdough 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in novice (66/1) at Newmarket (8f, soft) 21 days ago. May well do better. Again well held last time and this easier 1m on a faster surface may not be ideal.
5
4th (5) (7/1 -27%) Due West
7
7/1(-27%)
(5) Due West 7/1, Once-raced maiden. 15/2, sixth of 9 in novice at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut 21 days ago. Likely to improve. 150,000euros yearling who should improve now he's had a run and goes up in trip.
2
5th (2) (16/1 -191%) Best Rate
16
16/1(-191%)
(2) Best Rate 16/1, Promising type who was doing all his best work at the finish when third of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f, 22/1) on debut 35 days ago. Should progress and merits consideration. Easy to back ahead of his 7f Kempton debut five weeks ago when coming home nicely.
4
6th (4) (33/1 -65%) Circus Of Rome
33
33/1(-65%)
(4) Circus Of Rome 33/1, Foaled February 26. €15,000 yearling, Circus Maximus gelding. Half-brother to useful 10.5f winner Calculating and 1¼m-1½m winner Sea of Charm. Went for 15,000euros as a yearling; may be one for handicaps over further next year.
1
7th (1) (11/4 +21%) Al Shababi
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(1) Al Shababi 11/4, Posted promising second of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 28 days ago and likely has more to give yet. Shortlisted. Pleasing debut for a yard that's 5-17 with 2yos this season; high on the shortlist.
11
8th (11) (150/1 -355%) Justenzia
150
150/1(-355%)
(11) Justenzia 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 10/1, seventh of 14 in novice at Kempton (8f) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Others preferred. One to keep an eye on but maybe in handicaps, with Best Rate arguably her yard's best shot.
6
9th (6) (150/1 -127%) Harryella
150
150/1(-127%)
(6) Harryella 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (25/1) at Haydock (7f, good) 69 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Gelded since last run. Likely to need more time. Goes in a first-time hood having been gelded and may find life easier once handicapping.
12
10th (12) (40/1 -100%) Soul Dance
40
40/1(-100%)
(12) Soul Dance 40/1, Foaled February 23. Camelot filly. Dam, 7.6f-1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Sparkling Beam. Market check advised on debut. Trainer shows a profit with 2yos here down the years; market will guide.
3
11th (3) (300/1 -100%) Blackbrook
300
300/1(-100%)
(3) Blackbrook 300/1, Once-raced maiden. Hooded, last of 13 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, heavy, 200/1) on debut 19 days ago. Up in trip. Hard to fancy. 200-1, ran as the market suggested he might when a remote last on debut (6.5f, heavy).
10
12th (10) (80/1 -300%) Yellow Card
80
80/1(-300%)
(10) Yellow Card 80/1, Foaled February 25. Masar colt. Closely related to 7f/1m winner Labhay and useful 6f-8.3f winner New Arrangement, and half-brother to 2 winners, including 6f winner Blue Day. Half-brother to four winners at up to 1m out of mare who improved with time; market useful.
12:35 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
AL SHABABI chased home a 94-rated rival over 7f at Kempton on his debut last month. Given that a step up to the mile should suit the Without Parole colt and with natural improvement on the cards, Owen Burrows' charge is fancied to go in at the second time of asking. Present Times couldn't build on a promising debut performance but he remains of interest switched to the all-weather. Venezuelan paid the price for starting slowly on his racecourse bow, but Ralph Beckett's gelding should be more streetwise this time around.
AL SHABABI made an encouraging start to his career at Kempton last month and looks sure to progress. He gets the nod. Present Times and Best Rate look the likeliest dangers.
Owen Burrows has enjoyed a good season with 2yos and AL SHABABI gets the nod, with Due West second choice.
(3) Immortal Fame 7/5, Didn't go on from a promising start over fences for Tom Lacey in 2022/23 but won a couple of handicap hurdles around this trip last term. £16,000 buy for new trainer and did all he could behind a progressive one back chasing at Bangor on return recently. Faces a younger pair of chasing debutants. Kept on for second (no match for winner) on recent stable debut; remains on workable mark.
1
2nd (1) (3/1 -100%) Step Out
3
3/1(-100%)
(1) Step Out 3/1, Runner-up 3 times over hurdles before getting it right in a Downpatrick maiden in August (21.8f). No match for one under a penalty at Kelso next time (said to be showing signs of heat stress) and presumably unsuited by the drop in trip here earlier this month. Considered on chase bow. Hurdle winner in August; beaten favourite twice since; still considered on chase debut.
2
|F| (2) (11/8 +0%) Kandor
1.375
11/8(+0%)
(2) Kandor 11/8, Left hurdling debut form well behind when winning novice at Perth (20.2f) in July and acquitted himself well under a penalty at Kelso next time. Well held from a stiff opening mark last time but was runner-up in an Irish point so a likely sort on chase bow. Tongue tie applied (has had wind op). Disappointing on recent handicap hurdle debut but should have a future over fences.
12:45 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Step Out has something to prove after his recent fifth-placed defeat in a novice hurdle here and a switch to chasing will hopefully perk his interest. Fellow chase debutant Kandor may appreciate a return to this distance and the five-year-old isn't taken lightly. However, IMMORTAL FAME arrives on the back of a solid second to a progressive rival over fences at Bangor and he could put his chase experience to good use.
A tricky puzzle to solve despite the small field but preference is for KANDOR, who opened his account over hurdles at Perth in the summer and, having been a runner-up in Irish points earlier in his career, he can make the successful transition to chasing at the expense of Step Out, who was unsuited by the drop in trip when well held here earlier in the month and also makes his chase bow.
The vote goes to IMMORTAL FAME, who has the benefit of chasing experience and ran quite well on slower-than-ideal ground last month.
(1) Shecouldbeanything 7/2, Useful hurdler who has made an excellent start over fences, making it 3 wins from 4 starts in this sphere in 3-runner mares' chase at Clonmel (18.4f, good to soft) just under 3 weeks ago by 5 lengths from Space Tourist. Major claims with further progress on the cards. Has more on her plate in this company with a penalty but she's progressive.
6
2nd (6) (5/4 +50%) You Wear It Well
1.25
5/4(+50%)
(6) You Wear It Well 5/4, Won Grade 2 Mares' Novice Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2023 and successful return at Wetherby last November. Finished well held in face of stiff tasks on final 2 outings last season and now makes reappearance/chase debut with yard going great guns. Festival-winning mare and a strong contender on these terms if taking to fences.
3
3rd (3) (16/1 +36%) Party Vibes
16
16/1(+36%)
(3) Party Vibes 16/1, Opened her account in Wincanton novice on Boxing Day and followed up at Market Rasen. Matched previous form under a change of tactics when mid-field in a competitive Aintree handicap (16.5f, soft) when last seen in April and faces stiff task on return/chase debut (runner-up in an Irish point). Inferior hurdler to today's rivals but she's got the breeding to make a better chaser.
2
4th (2) (6/1 -20%) Casa No Mento
6
6/1(-20%)
(2) Casa No Mento 6/1, Took her form up a level when going 4-5 over hurdles in 2m listed hurdle at Punchestown in May. Disappointed for the first time in that sphere (blundered early returning from 6 months off) at Kempton (16f, good to soft) recently and now attentions are turned to the larger obstacles. Listed winner over hurdles; pacey mare with gears and an exciting prospect for fences.
5
5th (5) (4/1 -45%) West Balboa
4
4/1(-45%)
(5) West Balboa 4/1, Very useful hurdler and last-fence mistake (almost unseated rider) probably cost her second place when eventually coming home fourth in a 5-runner mares' novice on reappearance/chase debut at Worcester (2½m, heavy). Likely to improve plenty on that bare form so holds leading claims. Smart hurdler but over longer trips and she made mistakes on her recent chase debut.
4
|PU| (4) (18/1 -29%) Space Tourist
18
18/1(-29%)
(4) Space Tourist 18/1, Three-time winner over hurdles who confirmed promise of her chase debut when winning at Tramore (22f) in August. Below that level at Sligo next time, but back on song when runner-up to Shecouldbeanything at Clonmel recently, jumping left throughout. No surprise to see cheekpieces applied. Cheekpieces are added after being brushed aside by Shecouldbeanything at Clonmel.
12:55 Bangor-on-dee Maiden Chase (Class 1)
17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
YOU WEAR IT WELL is a dual Grade 2 winner over hurdles and now makes her chasing bow. Jamie Snowden's seven-year-old, who landed the 2023 Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham, was last seen finishing well beaten in the Mares' Hurdle at this year's Festival, but this is obviously a much easier assignment and she could put her rivals to the sword. Shecouldbeanything beat Space Tourist by five lengths at Clonmel and should confirm that superiority, while West Balboa is another to note.
A tricky puzzle to solve despite the small field but SHECOULDBEANYTHING completed a quick hat-trick recently and with further progress on the cards, Gordon Elliott's 7-y-o can add another win to her tally at the expense of You Wear It Well, who is a Cheltenham Festival winner over hurdles and makes her return/chase debut with her yard amongst the winners. West Balboa, who shaped well on her chase bow at Worcester 4 weeks ago, rounds off the shortlist.
An interesting race. CASA NO MENTO could have too much speed for these if she can get into a rhythm on her chasing debut.
(1) Cape Breton 15/8, 450,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Strong in betting but he looked backward when coming home last of 4 in novice at Ascot in September and ran to just a similar level at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) last time, looking ill at ease on the track. Remains capable of better on all-weather bow. 450,000gns yearling; evidently felt capable of better and has the edge in experience now.
8
2nd (8) (125/1 -400%) Padua
125
125/1(-400%)
(8) Padua 125/1, Foaled February 10. 70,000 gns yearling, Magna Grecia colt. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1¾m Precious Ramotswe out of useful winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner) Miss Pinkerton. Trainer wouldn't be noted for newcomers, so no surprise were this one to need more time.
6
3rd (6) (15/2 +6%) Killenaule
7.5
15/2(+6%)
(6) Killenaule 15/2, Foaled April 18. €80,000 foal, Kitten's Joy colt. Dam, 1m winner in France/Italy, half-sister to useful French 1¼m winner Amica Nostra. Market check advised. Trainer has enjoyed a fine season with 2yos, mainly on turf; an interesting newcomer.
3
4th (3) (8/1 +60%) Enacting
8
8/1(+60%)
(3) Enacting 8/1, 28/1, showed ability amidst obvious greenness when fifth of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut just under 8 weeks ago, not knocked about. Should progress. Badly needed his debut Kempton experience in September; will have learned plenty.
12
5th (12) (5/1 +17%) Lady Vivian
5
5/1(+17%)
(12) Lady Vivian 5/1, Foaled January 23. 82,000 gns foal, 160,000 gns yearling, Camelot filly. Dam, 6f winner who stayed 1m, half-sister to useful 1m-10.7f winner (stayed 13f) Coolcullen Times. Ticks plenty boxes. Market will be the best guide for a yard in fine late-season and also saddles Cape Breton.
7
6th (7) (16/1 -33%) Night Step
16
16/1(-33%)
(7) Night Step 16/1, 18/1, showed more than first time up despite still looking green when seventh of 12 in novice at Kempton (8f) 33 days ago, needing stronger gallop. May be one for handicaps in due course; interesting to see how he goes in the market.
11
7th (11) (16/1 +20%) Jet Black
16
16/1(+20%)
(11) Jet Black 16/1, In need of experience when twelfth of 15 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 40/1) on debut 33 days ago. Big step forward needed. 40-1 for her Newmarket debut a month ago (7f) when well held; may want more time.
4
8th (4) (40/1 -300%) Gemmari
40
40/1(-300%)
(4) Gemmari 40/1, Foaled February 25. Expert Eye colt. Half-brother to numerous winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Gibeon and 2-y-o 7f winner Gemina. Dam 1½m-1¾m winner who stayed 2m. Makes paper appeal. Well related; the outside stall is never ideal for a newcomer and the market will guide.
2
9th (2) (5/2 +0%) Charming Life
2.5
5/2(+0%)
(2) Charming Life 5/2, €400,000 yearling, Dubawi gelding. 9/2, knew job and ran to a fair level on debut when fourth of 15 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Should improve. Rather drawn away from the action on his 7f Newmarket debut 12 days ago; shortlisted.
9
10th (9) (100/1 -614%) Rolling Luck
100
100/1(-614%)
(9) Rolling Luck 100/1, Foaled April 23. 120,000 gns yearling, New Bay colt. Dam, 8.3f-1½m (Lancashire Oaks) winner, sister to smart/ungenuine 11f-2m winner Blakeney Point. Out of a 1m4f Group 2 winner; trainer is an excellent 5-14 with 2yos on the AW this season.
13:05 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Cape Breton, who cost 450,000gns as a yearling, has so far only dropped hints of living up to his stellar pedigree. However, the son of Frankel drops in class and still commands respect on his all-weather debut. Nevertheless, there should be plenty more to come from CHARMING LIFE, who is a half-brother to a 7f Listed winner on the all-weather in France. The Godolphin gelding shades preference after a promising introduction at Newmarket 12 days ago. Gemmari and Killenaule are notable debutants to consider.
Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to CAPE BRETON, who hasn't lived up to expectations on both turf outings so far but, very much looking the part, Ralph Beckett's colt remains capable of better now switched to all-weather. He can get the better of Charming Life, who knew his job and ran to a fair level on debut at Newmarket recently, while Gemmari and Lady Vivian look most appealing of the newcomers before the benefit of market clues.
Enacting shaped nicely on debut but CHARMING LIFE showed enough from a tough draw at Newmarket 12 days ago to get the vote.
(2) Evaluation 4/9, Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 16.5f) who opened his account for this yard at Wolverhampton (16.5f) in April. Creditable efforts in competitive contests all 4 starts since and he's an interesting contender now hurdling on the back of wind surgery. Second in Northumberland Plate this summer; has excellent chance on hurdling debut.
1
2nd (1) (7/2 +30%) Clondaw Fame
3.5
7/2(+30%)
(1) Clondaw Fame 7/2, Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Sneaky Getaway. Had wind surgery ahead of debut and he's one to note, particularly if strong in the betting. Wears hood. Fourth in three Irish points in 2011; makes rules debut after mammoth absence.
3
3rd (3) (11/2 +39%) Gorvennec
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(3) Gorvennec 11/2, Martaline gelding. Made frame completed start in points and showed a bit on Rules debut when fifth of 9 in a bumper at Hexham (16.2f) 32 days ago. Will likely need to step up on that effort to play a lead role now tackling timber. Made low-key bumper debut last month but was a convincing Irish point winner in May.
5
4th (5) (22/1 -38%) Blow A Fortune
22
22/1(-38%)
(5) Blow A Fortune 22/1, Bred to stay well and offered only minor promise in pair of hurdle starts to date, eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Handicaps/over further promise to be more suitable moving forward. Posed no threat when among the outsiders for two Kelso hurdles last month (2m5f/2m).
6
5th (6) (200/1 -33%) Breadalbane Lass
200
200/1(-33%)
(6) Breadalbane Lass 200/1, Telescope filly who showed ability when sixth in a Newcastle bumper in December but still in need of experience when pulled up on hurdles bow at Catterick (15.7f) in February. Best watched on return to action. Struggled when 200-1 for hurdle debut in February.
7
6th (7) (150/1 +0%) Catcha Flight
150
150/1(+0%)
(7) Catcha Flight 150/1, Hinted at ability on debut in a Kelso bumper back in May but offered little starting out in this sphere when tenth of 12 in a C&D novice 11 days ago. Best watched. Made fairly encouraging bumper debut in May but struggled in a recent C&D hurdle.
4
7th (4) (40/1 -21%) Split Stone
40
40/1(-21%)
(4) Split Stone 40/1, Clovis Du Berlais gelding. Dam lightly raced on Flat/in points. 16/1, never figured when seventh of 8 in bumper at Perth (16.2f) on debut in May. Passed over now sent hurdling after 6 months off. In rear throughout when 16-1 for Perth bumper on debut in May.
13:15 Ayr Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Decent Flat performer EVALUATION ticks plenty of the right boxes on his hurdles bow. Lucinda Russell's charge finished a respectable 13th in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket last month and he certainly won't be found lacking for stamina in this discipline. Irish point winner Gorvennec failed to make much of an impact in a bumper at Hexham 32 days ago, but better is expected now tackling timber. Nick Alexander's five-year-old is feared most, ahead of Blow A Fortune.
No real depth to this novice but EVALUATION is firmly established as a useful staying performer on the level and is taken to make it first time lucky now tackling timber for the first time. Newcomer Clondaw Fame could well emerge as the chief danger.
Useful Flat stayer EVALUATION makes his hurdling debut in a very modest race and ought to win easily if his jumping is adequate.
(2) Celebre D'allen 11/1, Still capable of useful form, landing a veterans' handicap at Aintree (25f) on last season's reappearance. Back to the same sort of level when fourth in the Topham at the Grand National meeting there (21.1f, soft) and he can give a good account on his return. Latest close fourth in the Topham shows that he's no back number at the age of 12.
3
2nd (3) (5/1 +29%) Pull Again Green
5
5/1(+29%)
(3) Pull Again Green 5/1, Only chase success at this C&D last summer but has returned to form back over fences on last 3 starts, good second of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (23.6f, good) a month ago. Arrives with fitness on his side and he could be in the mix. Close to a PB when second at Chepstow (good); not had a lot of racing on soft ground.
5
3rd (5) (18/1 -13%) Monte Igueldo
18
18/1(-13%)
(5) Monte Igueldo 18/1, Racked up a hat-trick at the end of 2022. Lightly raced since but shaped promisingly both starts this summer, runner-up from 7 lb out of the weights at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good to firm) in July. Races from his proper mark this time around. Good form this summer; an unexposed stayer but may prefer drier conditions.
1
4th (1) (13/2 -44%) Shan Blue
6.5
13/2(-44%)
(1) Shan Blue 13/2, Very smart chaser at best and, with cheekpieces applied, got back on track at Ascot final 2 starts last season, third in Swinley Handicap (23.8f, good to soft) in February. Has gone well fresh in the past so he's a leading contender back down in grade. Not as good as he was but still classy and his yard won the last renewal of this race.
9
5th (9) (6/1 +45%) Ask Me Early
6
6/1(+45%)
(9) Ask Me Early 6/1, Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when winning veterans' handicap at Exeter (24.3f, heavy) in February but wasn't able to repeat that effort on 2 subsequent outings, down the field at Carlisle in April. Others preferred after 7 months off. Hard to predict but useful on his day and 8lb lower than when third in this two years ago.
7
6th (7) (16/1 -60%) Major Dundee
16
16/1(-60%)
(7) Major Dundee 16/1, Career best when landing the Midlands Grand National in 2023 and encouraging third at Warwick on last season's return. In the process of running creditably when unseating 2 out in the Eider at Newcastle when last seen, but this trip is on the short side nowadays. Extreme tests of stamina are more his game these days; perhaps one for another day.
10
7th (10) (12/1 -9%) Bretney
12
12/1(-9%)
(10) Bretney 12/1, Better than ever when successful at Sandown (24.2f) in February and soon left behind a lesser run when also winning at Perth (30.6f, soft) in April, though was well positioned in steadily-run race. This is tougher on return from 6 months off. Five-time chase winner but he's accustomed to lower-grade races than today's assignment.
8
|PU| (8) (5/1 +9%) Regal Blue
5
5/1(+9%)
(8) Regal Blue 5/1, Has found improvement over the larger obstacles, opening his chase account in handicap at Haydock in February. Bounced back from a poor effort when also scoring at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) in March, so he's capable of getting involved if on a going day. Probably has more to offer but could need today's run and would prefer even softer ground.
4
|PU| (4) (16/1 +52%) Erne River
16
16/1(+52%)
(4) Erne River 16/1, In first-time cheekpieces, took advantage of his reduced mark when scoring at Doncaster (24f) in December and good fifth of 18 at the same C&D next time. However, pulled up last 2 starts so others more persuasive after 6 months off. Capable chaser when on song but couldn't be sure how he'll perform back from a break.
6
|PU| (6) (18/5 +20%) Autonomous Cloud
3.6
18/5(+20%)
(6) Autonomous Cloud 18/5, Made it back-to-back wins at Uttoxeter (both at 24f) when successful on last season's return and fourth in Midlands Grand National there (34f) in March. Had wind op ahead of reappearance over hurdles and he should be sharper this time around. Shortlisted. Smart staying chaser and his reappearance third came in a small-field novice hurdle.
13:25 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Shan Blue finished a close-up third in a premier handicap at Ascot in February and the handicapper might have been kind to drop him 1lb for that performance. Even so, PULL AGAIN GREEN looks the more appealing option. Fergal O'Brien's eight-year-old filled the runner-up spot in this grade at Chepstow last time and is a previous C&D winner. If he can run to a similar level of form, he could prove hard to beat. Celebre D'Allen is another to note after his fourth in the Topham at Aintree in April.
SHAN BLUE was rejuvenated by the application of cheekpieces when third at Ascot on his final 2 starts last season, beaten only 1½ lengths in the Swinley Handicap, so he can take advantage of this drop back in grade on his return. The main danger could be Regal Blue, who reappears having won 2 of his last 3 starts, while Autonomous Cloud arrives fit from a spin over hurdles.
A few with chances but AUTONOMOUS CLOUD (nap) could have a fitness edge over some after his recent outing over hurdles.
(2) Bobby Bennu 15/8, 2 wins from 6 runs this year, latest at Thirsk in July. 4/1, unlucky to bump into an improver when second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 27 days ago. Big chance back in Class 3 company provided a first-time hood has the desired effect. Beat all bar an impressive winner at Southwell last time; possibilities off same mark.
9
2nd (9) (11/1 +31%) Tanmawwy
11
11/1(+31%)
(9) Tanmawwy 11/1, Six wins from 22 Flat runs. 17/2, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (7f, soft) 45 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes all-weather debut. Likely to find a few too strong. Inconsistent for current yard; not sure what to expect from him on AW debut.
5
3rd (5) (11/2 +31%) Local Hero
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(5) Local Hero 11/2, Won at Kempton in June, that very much a standout effort this season. Well-beaten fifth of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) when last seen 3 months ago. Others more persuasive. Interesting on return from layoff, being possibly best when fresh; 2-4 on AW.
3
4th (3) (4/1 +27%) Blue Prince
4
4/1(+27%)
(3) Blue Prince 4/1, Latest win at Goodwood in July. Run of good form halted when last of 13 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft, 14/1) 67 days ago. Can get back on track returned to all-weather following a break (has been gelded). Tough 3yo; form dipped last time (gelded since) but he is the type to rebound.
4
5th (4) (18/1 +10%) Documenting
18
18/1(+10%)
(4) Documenting 18/1, 4-time C&D winner. 33/1, seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Now just 1 lb above his last winning mark but doesn't look ready to strike. Retains a useful level of ability aged 11 but last few efforts don't augur well.
1
6th (1) (10/1 -150%) Final Voyage
10
10/1(-150%)
(1) Final Voyage 10/1, Course winner. 9/2, again ran creditably when third of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 3 months ago, not ideally placed. Irish raider who warrants plenty of respect. Irish raider; seven AW wins include a Good Friday contest here in 2023; respected.
6
7th (6) (8/1 -33%) Intervention
8
8/1(-33%)
(6) Intervention 8/1, C&D winner. Twenty-two runs since last win on Boxing Day last year. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 7/1) 11 days ago. Hood back on. Not taken lightly. 0-22 this year but has performed respectably on numerous occasions; not ruled out.
7
8th (7) (80/1 -142%) Cill Mocheallog
80
80/1(-142%)
(7) Cill Mocheallog 80/1, Improved from debut for when taking 16-runner Gowran maiden (7f, heavy) in May. Similar form when third in Cork minor event (1m) in July (final start for P. Twomey) but found things too competitive when tailed off on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, heavy) last month. Ex-Irish 3yo who was soundly beaten on debut for new stable; best watched.
8
9th (8) (17/2 +15%) Lady Dreamer
8.5
17/2(+15%)
(8) Lady Dreamer 17/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year, latest here in September. Had winning run ended back against males and up in grade when sixth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago. That was her first start in 7 weeks so not discounted if building on it here. Faces a stiffer task at this level but brings a perfect C&D record (2-2).
13:37 Lingfield Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Roger Varian's horses have been in excellent form over the last fortnight and the good run can continue with BOBBY BENNU, who may be ideally placed to gain a first handicap success now he goes with a hood added. Blue Prince doesn't have much to find with the selection based on recent efforts and rates a serious contender. Irish raider Final Voyage has winning form over 7f and also appeals back at this trip.
INTERVENTION hasn't won since Boxing Day (when completing a 4-timer) but he's been placed on numerous occasions since so is selected to notch career victory number 12 in reapplied headgear at the expense of Bobby Bennu, who was unlucky to bump into an improver at Southwell recently and remains unexposed. Irish-raider Final Voyage and Lady Dreamer can fight out third.
Back from a layoff and returned to AW, LOCAL HERO gets the vote. Bobby Bennu and Final Voyage are respected.
(7) Dalileo 15/2, Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle here (24.3f, good to soft) 16 days ago. One for the shortlist. Just 2-30 over hurdles and was down the field here last time; needs more back in trip.
5
2nd (5) (11/4 +21%) Summergrounds
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(5) Summergrounds 11/4, Winner at Market Rasen in May and posted a creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Consistent sort who was placed behind a major improver at Kelso last time; shortlisted..
8
3rd (8) (7/1 -75%) Balranald
7
7/1(-75%)
(8) Balranald 7/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after 2m handicap wins at Sedgefield and Newcastle last month. Not taken lightly despite a 4 lb weights rise. Has won his last two starts and should go well again back up in trip in hat-trick bid.
6
4th (6) (9/4 +25%) Bathgate
2.25
9/4(+25%)
(6) Bathgate 9/4, Still a maiden but comes here on the back of a very good second of 14 in C&D handicap last month. Big shout despite taking a 3 lb weights rise. 0-8 but he went close over C&D last time and is a big player if he can back that up.
9
5th (9) (10/1 +70%) Cave Hill
10
10/1(+70%)
(9) Cave Hill 10/1, 25/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to soft). Off 6 months with work to do in first-time tongue tie. Ten-race maiden who has struggled over hurdles and can only be watched on his return.
2
6th (2) (16/1 -167%) Blazing Court
16
16/1(-167%)
(2) Blazing Court 16/1, Got off the mark in 2m4f Worcester handicap chase in August. on his final run for Martin Keighley. Not discounted back in this sphere for his new stable. Won over fences in August; 3lb higher for new yard but he's respected back over hurdles.
4
7th (4) (15/2 +46%) Evenwood Sonofagun
7.5
15/2(+46%)
(4) Evenwood Sonofagun 15/2, Remains a maiden after 19 runs. 18/1, first run since leaving Fergal O'Brien when tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with work to do. Still a maiden after 24 starts and was well held on stable debut last month; down the list.
10
8th (10) (22/1 -10%) Don't Look Back
22
22/1(-10%)
(10) Don't Look Back 22/1, Remains a maiden after 17 runs. 28/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft) 49 days ago. Hard to make a case for. 0-17 over hurdles and he's failed to complete at Perth last twice; 4lb out of weights here.
1
9th (1) (14/1 0%) C'est Quelqu'un
14
14/1(0%)
(1) C'est Quelqu'un 14/1, A dual chase winner for Gordon Elliott last term but pulled up over hurdles/fences this time around. Tongue strap back on with lots to prove for his new handler. Pulled up in final two runs for Gordon Elliott and has plenty to prove for new yard.
3
|F| (3) (40/1 -100%) Love That
40
40/1(-100%)
(3) Love That 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fell 4th in handicap hurdle (66/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 16 days ago. Still needs considering with few miles on the clock. Unexposed 5yo but he fell on handicap debut here last month and others are more convincing.
13:45 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The hat-trick seeking Balranald must enter calculations in his current mood and a 4lb rise in the ratings for his recent triumph at Newcastle looks more than fair. However, SUMMERGROUNDS' third behind two subsequent winners at Kelso last month couldn't have worked out any better and Nicky Richards' gelding shades the verdict. Bathgate is unlikely to be far away if reproducing his latest runner-up effort over C&D.
A few with chances but BATHGATE signalled he is ready to gain a breakthrough victory when an excellent C&D runner-up last time out. Hat-trick seeking Balranald rates the obvious threat, with in-form duo Dalileo and Summergrounds both firmly in the picture too. The lightly-raced Love That completes the shortlist.
Several have possibilities but the vote goes to BATHGATE, who travelled well for a long way before going close over C&D last time.
(2) Jack The Boss 16/1, Jack Hobbs gelding who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a highly dramatic affair at Wetherby 12 days ago, just him and the favourite left standing after the second. Should have more to offer under a penalty. Left with just one rival to beat in a highly eventful race at Wetherby.
4
1st (4) (10/11 +60%) Do It Again
0.909091
10/11(+60%)
(4) Do It Again 10/11, Galiway gelding. Closely related to a winner and half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including useful winner around 1¼m Asaassi. Dam ran twice on Flat in France. Interesting raider from France (market support worth heeding). Closely related to French 9.5f AW/10.6f turf winner Selena Starlight.
7
2nd (7) (10/3 +72%) Red N Yellow
3.333333
10/3(+72%)
(7) Red N Yellow 10/3, Flag of Honour gelding. Closely related to 5f-6f winner Trusty Rusty and half-brother to a winner. Dam 1½m winner. Closely related to 5f/6f winner Trusty Rusty; not bred for jumping but stable is respected.
3
3rd (3) (18/1 -300%) Adaay Forever
18
18/1(-300%)
(3) Adaay Forever 18/1, Adaay gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners on Flat, including useful 6f winner Dunkerron. 10/3, brought down in juvenile hurdle at Wetherby (16f, good) on NH debut 12 days ago won by Jack The Boss. Only 100-30 when brought down early at Wetherby in the race won by Jack The Boss.
8
4th (8) (18/1 -300%) Global Hideaway
18
18/1(-300%)
(8) Global Hideaway 18/1, Masterstroke filly. Half-sister to useful French hurdler Blue Borana. Dam (h128) bumper/15f-2½m hurdle winner. Likely type. Half-sister to French 2m2f Listed hurdle winner Blue Borana; dam a useful hurdler.
1
5th (1) (8/1 -45%) Aotano
8
8/1(-45%)
(1) Aotano 8/1, Soldier Hollow gelding who overcame inexperience to win 5-runner junior event at Hereford on hurdling debut by head last month. Subsequently sold from Stuart Crawford £8,500. Open to improvement and needs considering under a penalty. Bought for £8,500 soon after narrowly winning at Hereford a month ago.
5
6th (5) (80/1 -100%) For You Buzz
80
80/1(-100%)
(5) For You Buzz 80/1, Workforce gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 21f) Felix Yonger. 18/1, unseated rider in juvenile hurdle at Wetherby (16f, good) on NH debut 12 days ago won by Jack The Boss. As with Adaay Forever, his debut proved short-lived at Wetherby; went off at 18-1.
6
7th (6) (11/2 +78%) Lautrec De Cougny
5.5
11/2(+78%)
(6) Lautrec De Cougny 11/2, Pour Moi gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including useful hurdler/chase winner Herbiers. Dam (c96/h111), placed over hurdles in France, 1½m winner on Flat. Bred to have a future over jumps being well related; market can guide.
LTO Selection:
13:55 Bangor-on-dee Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Stablemates Aotano and Jack The Boss are both respected following successful debuts, but the 7lb penalties they carry have to be a concern. With that in mind, preference is for French raider DO IT AGAIN, who is closely related to plenty of Flat winners and is likely to have been well schooled. Adaay Forever edges out Lautrec De Cougny and Global Hideaway to be best of the rest.
Dan Skelton has a good record with hurdling debutants so GLOBAL HIDEAWAY is the tentative choice ahead of Donald McCain's penalised winners Aotano and Jack The Boss.
Alan King's ADAAY FOREVER was fairly strong in the market at Wetherby only to be wiped out at the second flight.
(5) Make Clear 7/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 13/2) 74 days ago. Player. C&D winner and won at Lingfield on latest; improver remains on a workable mark.
10
2nd (10) (13/2 -18%) My Girl Sioux
6.5
13/2(-18%)
(10) My Girl Sioux 13/2, One win from 34 Flat runs. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (7/1) at this C&D 12 days ago by 1½ lengths from Babyface, slowly away. Not taken lightly. Breakthrough C&D win over Babyface 12 days ago; good chance of confirming that form here.
2
3rd (2) (5/1 +38%) Sporting Hero
5
5/1(+38%)
(2) Sporting Hero 5/1, 11/2, didn't need to be at best when winning 10-runner claimer at this course (6f) 7 days ago by short head from Land Lover, pushed out. Respected. Last week's claimer win here faces stiffer task back in handicap company but respected.
7
4th (7) (9/1 0%) I'm Spartacus
9
9/1(0%)
(7) I'm Spartacus 9/1, Course winner. Latest win here in September. 7/2, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f) 19 days ago. Winner here two starts back off 56 over 6f; too keen latest and drops in trip here.
9
5th (9) (14/1 -65%) Realtin Fantasy
14
14/1(-65%)
(9) Realtin Fantasy 14/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 43 Flat runs. 11/2, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 40 days ago. Enters calculations. Consistent mare at this level but a short-runner and often fails to get home.
8
6th (8) (14/1 -100%) Senado Square
14
14/1(-100%)
(8) Senado Square 14/1, C&D winner. Below form 5¼ lengths eighth of 14 to My Girl Sioux in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 12 days ago. C&D winner hard to predict but capable off this mark.
3
7th (3) (9/2 +40%) Irish Rumour
4.5
9/2(+40%)
(3) Irish Rumour 9/2, Winner at Navan in September. 5/1, respectable sixth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Others more persuasive. Softish ground against her latest, big shout on earlier turf form.
4
8th (4) (12/1 +14%) Land Lover
12
12/1(+14%)
(4) Land Lover 12/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. 7/1, creditable short-head second of 10 to Sporting Hero in claimer at this course (6f) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Not taken lightly. Just held by Sporting Hero in 6f claimer here last week; stiff task back in handicap.
11
9th (11) (7/2 +36%) Babyface
3.5
7/2(+36%)
(11) Babyface 7/2, 9/2, creditable 1½ lengths second of 14 to My Girl Sioux in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. Can give a good account. Recent C&D second on AW debut makes him a major player.
1
10th (1) (28/1 -100%) Only Spoofing
28
28/1(-100%)
(1) Only Spoofing 28/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, soft, 12/1) 42 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Has good chance on pick of form. Prolific turf winner but on the decline; first AW start in over 4 years.
12
11th (12) (33/1 -18%) Stopitnowjulia
33
33/1(-18%)
(12) Stopitnowjulia 33/1, Creditable 4¼ lengths seventh of 14 to My Girl Sioux in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 12 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Struggling off basement mark of late, hard to see her playing a role.
6
12th (6) (66/1 -200%) Shelbourne Flyer
66
66/1(-200%)
(6) Shelbourne Flyer 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 50/1) 35 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. Unexposed 3yo on AW/handicap debut so can't be ruled out.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A very tricky sprint handicap. IRISH RUMOUR has been in decent form on turf and has an each-way chance back on the Polytrack. She made the breakthrough at Navan in September and it is worth noting that she has several placed efforts at Dundalk in the book. My Girl Sioux stayed on strongly to win over C&D at the start of the month and is a good ride for 10lb claimer Jimmy Dalton to get. Babyface was outgunned in second by My Girl Sioux, but is better off at the weights now. In-form Make Clear, recent-winner Sporting Hero, class-dropper Only Spoofing and last year's winner Realtin Fantasy will all have their supporters.
ONLY SPOOFING is becoming well handicapped so could be worth chancing. My Girl Sioux and Make Clear both arrive on the back of a career-best win so they head the dangers.
My Girl Sioux and Babyface renew rivalry from a recent C&D encounter but the pair could be usurped here by IRISH RUMOUR
(1) Sea Theme 6/5, Recorded career victory number 3 with wide-margin success in listed event at Clairefontaine in July. Not disgraced in Group 1s since and leading claims back at listed level for a stable with a strong record in this race. Yard has good record in this; major chance with this filly too if she runs near her best.
6
2nd (6) (22/1 -10%) Beeley
22
22/1(-10%)
(6) Beeley 22/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner of novice at Ffos Las in August but last of 9 in handicap at Newbury since. A first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. Probably acts on Polytrack; different headgear today and she needs big overall improvement.
11
3rd (11) (9/2 +44%) Meribella
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(11) Meribella 9/2, Useful effort when landing a second career success in 1½m handicap at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last month. Won't need to up her game that much to go close at listed level. AW debut; improving and today's trip can suit for a stable which is still in cracking form.
9
4th (9) (22/1 +33%) Kitteridge
22
22/1(+33%)
(9) Kitteridge 22/1, Looked useful when landing a 1¼m Newcastle maiden in February. Failed to make a significant impact at listed level on her next 3 starts but got back on track on track when fourth of 15 on 1½m Newmarket handicap debut last month. More needed back in listed company, though. Best form in Newmarket handicap (1m4f; 100-1) latest but it lags well behind some of these.
4
5th (4) (8/1 0%) Scarlett O'hara
8
8/1(0%)
(4) Scarlett O'hara 8/1, Useful filly, including chasing home Sea Theme in a Clairefontaine listed race in July. Produced a laboured effort in blinkers at Galway since but can bounce back with regular cheekpieces back in place. Excuses on latest start; each-way chance if she's back to form on this AW debut.
2
6th (2) (40/1 -43%) Drawn To Dream
40
40/1(-43%)
(2) Drawn To Dream 40/1, Useful filly but more miss than hit since a promising stable debut effort at Royal Ascot. Needs first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) to have a positive effect. Needs a return to peak form on this AW debut, with new blinkers replacing cheekpieces.
5
7th (5) (33/1 -230%) Lingua Franca
33
33/1(-230%)
(5) Lingua Franca 33/1, Useful filly. Winner of an 11f listed race at Hanover in May. Down the field in Group races in Germany since but may fare better with her sights lowered. Also sports first-time cheekpieces. Won Listed race but behind in Group 3 and Group 1, all 1m3f in Germany; AW/headgear debut.
3
8th (3) (100/1 +0%) Dynamiste
100
100/1(+0%)
(3) Dynamiste 100/1, Won a couple of low-grade handicaps at Bath at the end of the summer but looks out of her depth in this company. Improved fortunes lately but that handicap form leaves her with tons to find at this level.
12
9th (12) (50/1 +0%) Pure Of Heart
50
50/1(+0%)
(12) Pure Of Heart 50/1, Fairly useful filly. Won a 1½m course handicap in September but only a respectable sixth of 10 at Kempton (11f) since. Has work to do. 1m4f handicap winner at this track but this race demands huge improvement.
8
10th (8) (125/1 -89%) Kinetic
125
125/1(-89%)
(8) Kinetic 125/1, Has had a really productive time since joining James Owen, winning 4 handicaps, but she'll need to raise her game considerably to get heavily involved in this higher grade. Has done well in 1m4f handicaps but she's well down this list on ratings.
7
11th (7) (20/1 +0%) Games People Play
20
20/1(+0%)
(7) Games People Play 20/1, Fairly useful filly. 13/8 and visored time, career best when winning 7-runner novice at Nottingham (1¾m, heavy) 14 days ago, finding extra.This demands a big jolt of improvement, though. Off the mark latest; limited improvement in that and she needs a great deal more today.
10
12th (10) (10/3 -21%) Madam Celeste
3.333333
10/3(-21%)
(10) Madam Celeste 10/3, Useful form. Very good neck second of 9 to Bellezza in Diamond Stakes at Dundalk (11f, 15/2) 47 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers on first time. Considered. Boxed on very well when close second in 10.5f Listed race at Dundalk (AW); first headgear.
14:07 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 13f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
William Haggas has won four of the last seven renewals and has another live chance with SEA THEME, who was far from disgraced when seventh in the Champions Fillies And Mares Stakes at Ascot last month. Already a dual Listed winner, the daughter of Sea The Stars holds every chance of further success back at this level. Runner-up in the Diamond Stakes at Dundalk most recently, Madam Celeste is feared most, although the upwardly mobile Meribella commands respect too.
SEA THEME should find this a lot easier than the Group 3s she's been contesting recently and can enhance the strong record of the William Haggas stable in this race. Scarlett O'Hara chased home the selection in a similar race in France during the summer and may fill the forecast spot again. Fellow Irish raider Madam Celeste and Ralph Beckett's Meribella complete the shortlist.
William Haggas won this Listed contest in 2017, 2018, 2021 and 2023 and SEA THEME gives him a good chance to improve that record.
(1) Ilikedwayurthinkin 9/4, Useful handicap hurdler/chaser at one time and has rediscovered some form this summer, scoring twice in Cartmel handicaps. Creditable third there since and will find this less competitive. Two wins at Cartmel in the summer; fair third there last time; could play a leading role.
3
2nd (3) (15/8 +32%) No Regrets
1.875
15/8(+32%)
(3) No Regrets 15/8, Kelso winner in May and still looked in good heart after 2 months off when fourth back at that venue (21.6f, good) in September. Suffered a fall at Hexham the following month but type to bounce back. Has run some good races in the visor this year & there's every chance he'll be in the mix.
2
|F| (2) (6/4 +33%) Artic Row
1.5
6/4(+33%)
(2) Artic Row 6/4, Successful 3 times last season (all 3 wins over 20f here). Didn't seem to stay this trip at Perth final start and got no further than the first fence at Hexham on return. Better ground and a return to this track are the positives. Stamina to prove and prone to odd mistake but excels at Ayr; major player if seeing it out.
14:15 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
This may prove a good opportunity for ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN to return to winning ways. Ben Haslam's charge was thwarted in his hat-trick bid when finishing third at Cartmel in August but, easing in trip off an unchanged mark, he gets the nod ahead of Artic Row. Nick Alexander's gelding didn't get further than the first on his seasonal reappearance at Hexham, but he boasts form figures of 91111 at this venue and must enter calculations. No Regrets is also noteworthy.
ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN was third in a better race than this at Cartmel 11 weeks ago and could be the way to go. Artic Row has an excellent record here so is next best on his second try at this distance.
Ayr brings out the best in ARTIC ROW, whose five visits here have yielded four wins, and he gets the nod ahead of No Regrets.
(1) Junker D'allier 4/5, Found only one too good all 3 starts in bumpers last season and perfect start in this sphere when winning 10-runner novice hurdle at Carlisle (17f) 4 weeks ago, drawing clear under hands-and-heels ride. Sound claims under a penalty with progress anticipated. Strong in the market when a comfortable winner at Carlisle last month.
4
2nd (4) (14/1 -300%) Joltin N Jiving
14
14/1(-300%)
(4) Joltin N Jiving 14/1, €8,£40,000 4-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler Charlie Siringo and modest 2m hurdle winner Forever A Dove. Won completed start in Irish points (May 12) and he's an interesting hurdles debutant. Picked up for £40,000 after Irish point win; runner-up has since won a bumper here.
8
3rd (8) (33/1 -65%) Theatre Tom
33
33/1(-65%)
(8) Theatre Tom 33/1, £13,000 5-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Theatre Man, stays 23f. Dam (c104/h130) 2½m hurdle winner. Made frame both completed starts in Irish points (latest May 25). Worth monitoring in the betting for clues. Point form in Ireland nothing special and he changed hands for £13,000.
5
4th (5) (4/1 +43%) Old Time Chaser
4
4/1(+43%)
(5) Old Time Chaser 4/1, Third sole start in Irish points in 2022 and encouragement to glean from his exploits over hurdles during the spring, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (21.9f) in May. In good hands and he remains open to improvement. Beaten roughly 20l in his two races under rules; should be capable of better.
3
5th (3) (28/1 -133%) Eagles Gold
28
28/1(-133%)
(3) Eagles Gold 28/1, Half-brother to 2 winners, including modest hurdler Only Fools. Signs of ability in bumper at Huntingdon 7 months ago and should take to this sphere. Interesting what the market makes of him and he looks the pick of the trio of representatives from this yard. Promise and inexperience when beaten just under 10l in a Huntingdon bumper.
7
6th (7) (10/3 +5%) Sole Solution
3.333333
10/3(+5%)
(7) Sole Solution 10/3, Looked a good prospect when winning both starts in bumpers, the latest at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) in January 2023, impressing with how he travelled. Absent subsequently but he's a bright prospect now hurdling on belated return. Unbeaten in bumpers and he's a scopey gelding with lots of potential now over hurdles.
10
7th (10) (100/1 +0%) Cherry Brave
100
100/1(+0%)
(10) Cherry Brave 100/1, Irish point winner but offered little in pair of quick-fire runs in in novice/maiden hurdles last month. Won an Irish point by 4l but it's been a very underwhelming start over hurdles.
9
8th (9) (40/1 -21%) Wild Grouse
40
40/1(-21%)
(9) Wild Grouse 40/1, Shaped a fair bit better than the bare result in 2 runs over hurdles last term, still clear second at last before weakening run-in at Uttoxeter, then faltering in bad ground at Aintree in December. Has undergone a breathing operation and now fitted with a tongue strap back from 11 months off. Point winner; beaten 22l and 86l in two heavy-ground novice hurdles late last year.
2
9th (2) (200/1 -100%) Cher Monsieur
200
200/1(-100%)
(2) Cher Monsieur 200/1, Placed in Irish points but offered little short-term encouragement in novice/maiden hurdles at Fontwell last month. Hasn't shown anything like enough under rules to warrant a second look here.
6
10th (6) (250/1 -150%) Our Jesse Boy
250
250/1(-150%)
(6) Our Jesse Boy 250/1, Showed ability only start in bumpers back in the spring but notably weak in betting and offered little after 6 months off when ninth of 10 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f) on hurdles bow 26 days ago. 150-1 for his recent hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and performed accordingly.
11
|PU| (11) (250/1 -25%) Windsor Wife
250
250/1(-25%)
(11) Windsor Wife 250/1, Point scorer but more of a long-term project under Rules judged on her exploits in novice/maiden hurdles in recent weeks. Dead-heated in an Irish point; has shown pretty much zilch in two runs over hurdles.
14:25 Bangor-on-dee Maiden Hurdle (Class 4)
17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
JUNKER D'ALLIER created a big impression when winning well on his hurdling debut at Carlisle last month and Olly Murphy's gelding is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. Joltin N Jiving scored between the flags in Ireland earlier in the year and has to be of interest on his Rules bow. Sole Solution and Old Time Chaser are others to note.
Having finished runner-up all 3 starts in bumpers, JUNKER D'ALLIER marked himself down as a good hurdles prospect when opening his account in a Carlisle novice 4 weeks ago, travelling strongly and drawing clear under hands-and-heels riding. He gets the nod to defy a penalty and make it 2-2 in this sphere. Old Time Chaser and hurdles debutants Sole Solution and Joltin N Jiving are others to consider.
The 5yo JUNKER D'ALLIER could take some beating. He's fit, in good form and seemingly held in some regard.
(3) Sayifyouwill 10/3, Fairly useful mare. 10/1, first run since leaving Amanda Perrett when creditable third of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 26 days ago, suited by way race developed. One for the shortlist. Has refused to load latest two intended starts so definite health warning attached.
5
2nd (5) (3/1 +14%) Comfort Line
3
3/1(+14%)
(5) Comfort Line 3/1, Fair gelding. 4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D 5 days ago. Not taken lightly. Running well in C&D handicaps of late; big player dropped to claiming company.
6
3rd (6) (8/1 +20%) Rumbled Again
8
8/1(+20%)
(6) Rumbled Again 8/1, Fair gelding. Course winner. Latest win here in October. 10/1, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 14 days ago. C&D winner has a bit to find on ratings but could go well.
9
4th (9) (25/1 +24%) Big Baby Bull
25
25/1(+24%)
(9) Big Baby Bull 25/1, 16/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Down Royal (7.1f, soft) 44 days ago. Last pair of six wins were in claimers last year; seems to be regressing and 0-5 on AW.
11
5th (11) (18/1 +64%) Boomerang Bill
18
18/1(+64%)
(11) Boomerang Bill 18/1, Modest gelding. Creditable eighth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at this course (10.7f) 7 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back down in trip. Low-grade maiden wasn't beaten too far here last week but loads to find on ratings.
8
6th (8) (3/1 +50%) Timourid
3
3/1(+50%)
(8) Timourid 3/1, Fair gelding. C&D winner. Eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy, 28/1) 17 days ago. Down in trip. Has good chance on pick of form. Dual C&D claiming winner and good penultimate run here; every chance.
10
7th (10) (11/2 -10%) Wrist Art
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(10) Wrist Art 11/2, Fair gelding. 9/2, good second of 16 in handicap at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) 23 days ago, just failing. Looks competitive on form. Just denied recently at Gowran; limited AW form doesn't measure up but can't be ruled out.
4
8th (4) (40/1 -150%) Signor Ferrari
40
40/1(-150%)
(4) Signor Ferrari 40/1, Fair gelding. Latest win at Fairyhouse in July. Below form sixth of 15 in handicap (14/1) at Galway (7f, good to soft). Off 107 days. First run for yard after leaving J. J. Feane. Fairyhouse 1m2f claiming winner in July; 0-7 on AW and likely has a bit to find.
2
9th (2) (22/1 -22%) Nedita
22
22/1(-22%)
(2) Nedita 22/1, Fair gelding. Hooded for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 14 in claimer at this C&D (14/1) 14 days ago. Never sighted in C&D claimer last month; bit to find.
7
10th (7) (16/1 +11%) S'all Good Man
16
16/1(+11%)
(7) S'all Good Man 16/1, Course winner. 40/1, first run since leaving M. J. Tynan when last of 8 in claimer at Roscommon (10.4f, heavy) 85 days ago. Down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Wins here have been at 1m4f; recent claiming runs poor.
12
11th (12) (150/1 +25%) Cloughaneely Mor
150
150/1(+25%)
(12) Cloughaneely Mor 150/1, Last of 14 in handicap (150/1) at Listowel (8f, good). Off 164 days. Poor maiden, seemingly of little account and can't be entertained here.
14
12th (14) (28/1 +30%) Top Of The Pops
28
28/1(+30%)
(14) Top Of The Pops 28/1, 6¼ lengths ninth of 13 to Comfort Line in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 12 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Nothing of late to suggest he'll play a role here; blinkers tried.
1
13th (1) (33/1 -106%) Super Over
33
33/1(-106%)
(1) Super Over 33/1, Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 82 days ago. First run for yard after leaving D. P. Coakley. C&D handicap winner in March; first AW run since and can't be ruled out on yard debut.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SAYIFYOUWILL comes with risks, having refused to load in her last couple of races in Dundalk, but her form chance is undeniable. Her close third in a fillies' handicap over 7f at this track last month reads well as the winner went on to be second in Listed class last week. Comfort Line should be dangerous in this grade having won a C&D handicap on his penultimate start. It has been a long time since Wrist Art raced in Dundalk, but he returns in good form courtesy of being pipped by a short head in Gowran Park. Timourid is more than capable of giving Nicola Burns a good spin, while Man Is King showed much more in second over C&D last Friday.
TIMOURID got stuck in the mud over hurdles last time but he went close in a similar event to this before that and is favoured by these terms. Claims can also be made for Comfort Line, Wrist Art and Sayifyouwill.
Timourid rates a big player but preference is for COMFORT LINE who has been running to form of late in C&D handicaps
(3) Doom 5/2, Improved when placed in Group races at 7f/1m on first 3 starts this year. Below-par efforts the last twice, 5½ lengths sixth of 11 to Great Generation in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good to soft, 13/2) 59 days ago, but can bounce back with tongue strap applied. Successful in last Listed attempt and also warrants respect on the pick of her Group form.
8
2nd (8) (33/1 -65%) Improvista
33
33/1(-65%)
(8) Improvista 33/1, Off the mark at Clonmel in September, before good fourth in Group 3 at Gowran later same month. Ran to similar level when 4 lengths seventh of 16 to Azada in listed race at Naas (8f, good to soft, 16/1) 31 days ago. More needed. Irish raider who isn't entirely solid on form; best form effort may flatter her.
1
3rd (1) (14/1 +13%) Back See Daa
14
14/1(+13%)
(1) Back See Daa 14/1, Useful filly. Shaped as if back in form when sixth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, soft, 5/1) 61 days ago, unlucky not to finish a bit closer having been short of room final 1f. Has something to find as she makes polytrack debut. Fairly useful on her day but faces a stiff assignment back up in class.
6
4th (6) (11/1 +31%) Rose Prick
11
11/1(+31%)
(6) Rose Prick 11/1, Took a step forward when placed on first 2 starts this season and good effort after 4 months off when 1¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Noir in listed race at Longchamp (9f, heavy, 19/1) 24 days ago. Can give another good account back down in trip. Consistent this term but still not added to 2yo win and has something to find.
11
5th (11) (6/1 -20%) Sacred Angel
6
6/1(-20%)
(11) Sacred Angel 6/1, Useful form over 6f at 2 yrs, winning twice including Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot. Well held in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket (8f, good, 33/1) on return and absent again since, but she's bred to stay this far as she drops back in grade. Very useful last term; absent since well held in 1,000 Guineas; leading chance on ratings.
7
6th (7) (7/1 +50%) American Arrow
7
7/1(+50%)
(7) American Arrow 7/1, Justifed strong support when winning at Haydock on debut and bounced back from a lesser effort when 4¼ lengths fifth of 13 to Sunfall in listed race at Ascot (7f, good, 33/1) 39 days ago. Improvement required but she remains lightly raced. Thrice-raced filly who needs improvement switched to AW.
9
7th (9) (20/1 +33%) Marcella
20
20/1(+33%)
(9) Marcella 20/1, Returned to form when gaining a first win of the year in handicap at Epsom in September. However, wasn't able to repeat that effort when last of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, heavy, 10/1) 31 days ago. Others more persuasive. Raced too freely last time; even if she settles better, this is a tough assignment.
10
8th (10) (4/1 +33%) Ornellaia
4
4/1(+33%)
(10) Ornellaia 4/1, Useful form at 2 yrs, third in Moyglare at the Curragh on final outing. After 13 months off (had wind op) ahead of first start since leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis, shaped as if better for run when eighth of 13 to Sunfall in listed race at Ascot (7f, good, 5/1) 39 days ago. Blew the start on belated reappearance; major player granted a clean break.
5
9th (5) (12/1 -20%) Julia Augusta
12
12/1(-20%)
(5) Julia Augusta 12/1, A while since last win but has shown useful form this year, including when 3½ lengths fifth of 8 to Friendly Soul in Valiant Stakes at Ascot in July. Below form in listed race at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm, 22/1) last time, though she enters calculations after a break. Has some useful form and ties in with Doom on Royal Ascot running; possibilities.
4
10th (4) (9/1 -29%) Iken
9
9/1(-29%)
(4) Iken 9/1, French raider who has been progressing well this year, winning 3 times, including handicap at Chantilly in September. Improved further when 2 lengths third of 9 to Sparks Fly in listed race at Saint-Cloud (8f, soft, 9/1) 40 days ago. Respected. French mare who ran well in Listed event at Saint-Cloud most recently; better than ever.
12
11th (12) (80/1 -100%) Sattwaa
80
80/1(-100%)
(12) Sattwaa 80/1, Made winning return in handicap at this C&D before good second in listed race at Dusseldorf in May. Has gone backwards last 2 starts, though, well beaten in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 200/1) on latest outing in June. The only C&D winner in the field and has progressive AW form; could go well.
2
12th (2) (33/1 -65%) Cell Sa Beela
33
33/1(-65%)
(2) Cell Sa Beela 33/1, Won listed race at Ascot final outing in 2023 but down the field all 3 starts this year, 9¼ lengths last of 11 to Great Generation in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good to soft, 50/1) 59 days ago. Has work to do making only second start on all-weather. Won in this grade on final 2023 start; not in the same form this season.
14:40 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
This revolves around SACRED ANGEL and how fit she is following an absence. Much will have been expected of the daughter of Dark Angel in 2024 following a juvenile campaign that resulted in a Princess Margaret win and a third in the Cheveley Park, but she struggled in the 1000 Guineas and hasn't been seen since. If near to her peak, this provides her with a good opportunity to get her career back on track. Ornellaia, who made the frame in the Moyglare at two, has also had just the one outing this year, finishing down the field at Ascot. She could still be dangerous, with Doom the most likely to capitalise if the aforementioned pair aren't what they were.
A listed winner in France last year, DOOM bettered that form when placed in Group races on her first 3 starts this season, so she is taken to get back to winning ways returned to this level with a tongue strap added. She can see off the challenge of French-mare Iken, who has been thriving as the year has gone on, with Julia Augusta also capable of getting involved.
With strong claims back in Listed grade, DOOM is preferred. French mare Iken is second choice.
(4) Kinbara Firstdraft 6/1, Made a successful handicap debut at Perth (16.2f, good to firm) in June but hasn't built on that effort in 2 starts since, sixth of 8 at Kelso (20.9f, good) on latest run in September. Could fare better back down in grade, though. 5yo who won on handicap debut at Perth in June but unable to kick on since.
8
2nd (8) (4/1 +80%) Malangen
4
4/1(+80%)
(8) Malangen 4/1, Successful at Hexham (16.2f, good) in June and has been kept busy of late, below form ridden more patiently when seventh of 10 at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Is now 2 lb below last winning mark but more needed to take advantage. Won off 2lb higher at Hexham in June but recent form has been mixed; others preferred.
7
3rd (7) (9/2 +25%) Follow Charlie
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(7) Follow Charlie 9/2, Improved sent handicapping last season, recording a second C&D success when scoring in good style in March. After 6 months off, shaped as if better for the run when down the field at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) in October, so he's one to note back here. Well beaten on reappearance but may have needed it; two C&D wins last season.
6
4th (6) (12/1 -243%) Kilbrainy
12
12/1(-243%)
(6) Kilbrainy 12/1, Off the mark in impressive style at Kelso (20.9f) a year ago and, after 10 weeks off, left behind some poor efforts when doubling his tally at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Could be in the mix with his latest run behind him. Back to form with 22-1 win at Carlisle; can play another leading role if on song once more.
1
5th (1) (13/8 +46%) Fourofakind
1.625
13/8(+46%)
(1) Fourofakind 13/8, Has taken his form up a notch since joining current yard this summer, winning a pair of handicap hurdles at Perth (both at 20.2f). Good effort when fourth of 9 at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) 10 days ago and he's a major player back down in grade. Has done very well since joining this yard in the summer and he's a solid contender.
2
6th (2) (25/1 -56%) Quid Pro Quo
25
25/1(-56%)
(2) Quid Pro Quo 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at best for Dan Skelton. Ran no sort of race on final outing last year and, making first start for current yard, again finished well held back over hurdles at Wetherby (24.1f, good to soft) last month. Cheekpieces reached for. Wears cheekpieces on second start back from long absence, but was tailed off last month.
3
|F| (3) (17/2 -143%) Highly Recommended
8.5
17/2(-143%)
(3) Highly Recommended 17/2, Well held in a bumper and was in need of experience on first 2 starts over hurdles. However, upped in trip he was much improved when winning a Ludlow novice (21.2f, good) last month. Makes handicap debut on first run for yard after leaving Mel Rowley. Easily won Ludlow novice last month; makes stable debut with yard in good form; respected.
5
|PU| (5) (80/1 -400%) Fugitives Drift
80
80/1(-400%)
(5) Fugitives Drift 80/1, Went the wrong way for Nicky Henderson in 2022 and pulled up in hunter chase at Kelso (23.4f, heavy) sole outing in 2023/24 for Miss Lucy Brown. Has won one of 3 starts in points since (latest run in April), but others preferred back hurdling. Won a point-to-point in March but he may be best watched now back under rules.
14:50 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Fourofakind lost little in defeat when finishing fourth over 2m4f at Carlisle earlier this month and, with his sights lowered off an unchanged mark, he warrants the utmost respect. That said, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED edges preference. He fairly bolted up over an extended 2m5f at Ludlow last month and, making his handicap debut for the in-form Dianne Sayer team, he looks the one to side with. Fellow last-time-out winner Kilbrainy is respected most of the remainder.
FOUROFAKIND continued in top form when making the frame at Carlisle 10 days ago and, with Conor Rabbitt back in the saddle (on board for both wins this season), he can take advantage of the return to this lower grade. Follow Charlie won twice over C&D last season and could be the main danger, ahead of Kilbrainy.
Topweight FOUROFAKIND (nap) has done very well since joining Lizzie Quinlan in the summer and can post his third win for the yard.
(4) Gentleman Bill 13/2, Winning pointer who landed a Newcastle bumper on NH debut in April and shaped as if better for run when third of 10 in novice at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) on hurdles bow 27 days ago. Should be more to come yet. Point/bumper winner; just a respectable third on hurdling debut but can improve.
7
2nd (7) (6/4 +25%) I'm A Lumberjack
1.5
6/4(+25%)
(7) I'm A Lumberjack 6/4, Posted fairly-useful form in bumpers last term including third in listed company at Newbury in February. Far from disgraced in Grade 2 at Aintree on final outing and must be of interest on hurdles debut. Useful form in bumpers (Listed placed); looks a good prospect for novice hurdles.
8
3rd (8) (40/1 -233%) Kadjar Des Mottes
40
40/1(-233%)
(8) Kadjar Des Mottes 40/1, Left clear to win his sole outing in points but held back by inexperience when sixth of 7 in bumper at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Improvement required on switch to hurdling. Left clear for wide-margin Irish point in win April but disappointing in a recent bumper.
10
4th (10) (8/1 +84%) Royal King
8
8/1(+84%)
(10) Royal King 8/1, Capable of fair form over fences in France but fell at Auteuil when last seen in June and is likely best watched starting off for new yard over the smaller obstacles here. Made the frame in two French chases in April; market may guide on British debut.
6
5th (6) (40/1 -60%) Gwennie May Star
40
40/1(-60%)
(6) Gwennie May Star 40/1, Offered something to work on both starts in bumpers 3 months apart and made late headway on second run over hurdles at Ludlow last month. Others more convincing, though. Placed in course bumper in June but has made underwhelming start to hurdling career.
1
6th (1) (200/1 -100%) Badbury Rings
200
200/1(-100%)
(1) Badbury Rings 200/1, From a good jumps family and runner-up second (only completed) of 2 starts in points but has looked a longer-term project in a couple of runs over timber thus far. Placed in three points in the spring but safely held on first two hurdling starts.
2
7th (2) (28/1 -75%) Dangerous Touch
28
28/1(-75%)
(2) Dangerous Touch 28/1, £135,000 buy after finishing runner-up sole outing in Irish points but has yet to make a real impact in bumpers or on debut in this sphere at Exeter last month. Shaped with promise in both bumpers but did not get competitive on recent hurdle debut.
9
|F| (9) (11/2 +21%) Oh My Johnny
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(9) Oh My Johnny 11/2, Disputing lead when falling late on sole start in points and posted promising fourth of 12 in novice at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 20 days ago. Should progress and is one for the shortlist. Was running big race before spoliing chance by jumping right on hurdling debut.
5
|F| (5) (125/1 -89%) Good Company
125
125/1(-89%)
(5) Good Company 125/1, Dragon Dancer gelding. Dam, little show in bumper/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser who became unreliable (stayed 3½m) Swincombe Rock. Makes NH debut here but looks yard second string judged by jockey bookings. Out of half-sister to useful jumper Swincombe Rock; makes his debut here.
3
|PU| (3) (13/8 +35%) Doctor Kildare
1.625
13/8(+35%)
(3) Doctor Kildare 13/8, Built on encouraging NH debut when landing 12-runner bumper at this course (soft) in April and has to be taken seriously on switch to hurdling. From good French jumping family and won course bumper in April; respected on hurdle debut.
15:00 Bangor-on-dee Maiden Hurdle (Class 4)
17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Gentleman Bill sets the standard of those with hurdling experience following his third at Carlisle last month. That said, the vote goes to DOCTOR KILDARE, who took a step forward from his debut when winning a bumper here in April and he may improve again now switched to obstacles. I'm A Lumberjack is another to consider on his first outing over timber, while Oh My Johnny should not be underestimated.
I'M A LUMBERJACK is from a good jumping family and acquitted himself well in bumpers last term. He can make a successful switch to hurdling. Oh My Johnny made a good start over timber at Ludlow last month and is feared most, whilst Doctor Kildare is also of interest on his first outing in this sphere.
Alan King's I'M A LUMBERJACK has some strong bumper form on his record and might be the answer on his hurdling debut.
(6) Annaghmccanns 16/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, eighth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (25/1) on debut 12 days ago, never nearer. Performed with credit over C&D on debut despite a series of misfortunes, worth considering.
1
2nd (1) (5/1 -25%) Aratayvo
5
5/1(-25%)
(1) Aratayvo 5/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 17/2, seventh of 9 in maiden at Limerick (8f, good). Off 129 days. Makes polytrack debut. Not discounted. Managed one good run last season, finished behind today's rival Tuba at Limerick in July.
14
3rd (14) (10/3 -21%) Whisper A Prayer
3.333333
10/3(-21%)
(14) Whisper A Prayer 10/3, Fair filly. Solid fourth of 13 in maiden at Galway (7f, heavy, 9/2) 16 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Stable in good form so a player in first-time cheekpieces. Has failed to build on juvenile promise, may take advantage of this opportunity.
5
4th (5) (7/2 +75%) Wrob And Wryan
3.5
7/2(+75%)
(5) Wrob And Wryan 7/2, Twice-raced gelding. Eleventh of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good, 28/1). Off 180 days. Fair sixth of 13 in a C&D maiden in April, no impact at Leopardstown the following month.
7
5th (7) (80/1 +20%) Miss Glenville
80
80/1(+20%)
(7) Miss Glenville 80/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourteenth of 15 in maiden (125/1) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 23 days ago. Unlikely to be good enough on the evidence of two runs on turf last month.
11
6th (11) (11/2 +27%) My Little Lady
5.5
11/2(+27%)
(11) My Little Lady 11/2, Fair filly. 100/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, soft) 22 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Much respected on her polytrack debut. Failed to stay 1m4f at the Curragh last time, not without a chance in a weak maiden.
2
7th (2) (40/1 -21%) Happy Henry
40
40/1(-21%)
(2) Happy Henry 40/1, Once-raced gelding. 16/1, last of 8 in maiden at this course (6f) on debut, not knocked about. Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. In rear on only run, in good hands but transformation needed on return from lengthy break.
4
8th (4) (9/4 +18%) Tuba
2.25
9/4(+18%)
(4) Tuba 9/4, Twice-raced gelding. 17/2, sixth of 11 in maiden at Killarney (11.3f, good to firm). Off 121 days. Back down in trip and not dismissed. Promising third on debut with Aratatyvo, second run may have come too soon, solid chance.
3
9th (3) (33/1 -50%) Modern Talking
33
33/1(-50%)
(3) Modern Talking 33/1, Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 9 in maiden (12/1) at this course (7f) 7 days ago, not knocked about. Sixth of nine here last week, trainer appears to have a much better chance with Tuba.
13
10th (13) (250/1 -279%) Our Lucky Lady
250
250/1(-279%)
(13) Our Lucky Lady 250/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 9 in maiden at this course (7f, 25/1) on debut 7 days ago, very slowly away. Slowly away and never a factor first time out here last week, held by Modern Talking.
8
11th (8) (150/1 -88%) Noble Hilltop
150
150/1(-88%)
(8) Noble Hilltop 150/1, Twice-raced filly on Flat. 200/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 12 days ago. Handicap hurdle winner over 2m4f, lacks the pace to be competitive over this trip.
9
12th (9) (200/1 -100%) Behomebyhalfpast
200
200/1(-100%)
(9) Behomebyhalfpast 200/1, Lightly-raced filly. Thirteenth of 15 in maiden at Limerick (7f, good, 250/1). Off 144 days. In good hands but has shown next to nothing so far, impossible to make a case for her..
12
13th (12) (250/1 -150%) One For Teigan
250
250/1(-150%)
(12) One For Teigan 250/1, Once-raced filly. Thirteenth of 15 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy, 125/1) on debut 23 days ago, very slowly away. Three-figure odds when slowly away and never involved on debut at Gowran, can be ruled out.
10
14th (10) (40/1 -150%) Kinamara Jane
40
40/1(-150%)
(10) Kinamara Jane 40/1, Mobsta filly. Dam maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Elleval. Second foal; dam placed including on AW, half-sister to useful winners Elleval and Heddwyn.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
WHISPER A PRAYER could prove good enough to shed her maiden status. Joseph O'Brien's charge gets first-time cheekpieces after six runs on turf that yielded a couple of placed finishes in Cork and Roscommon. She is on a light weight with Julian Pietropaolo's claim factored in. There was promise in Tuba's debut third over 1m at Limerick and perhaps the further trip didn't suit when he then finished sixth at Killarney. My Little Lady has shown enough to suggest she will get in the mix, while there is surely more to come from Aratayvo. If Annaghmccanns breaks better, she can improve upon an opening eighth over C&D.
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Joseph O'Brien's WHISPER A PRAYER looks the way to go on the back of a solid Galway fourth. Tuba also has the form to play a part and is next on the list ahead of Aratayvo and My Little Lady.
Plenty went wrong for WHISPER A PRAYER when fourth behind a useful stablemate at Galway. She faces weaker opposition here.
(10) Hitched 9/2, 4/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago, not ideally placed. Has good chance on form. Another decent effort last time, having not had the breaks over C&D previously; player.
11
2nd (11) (6/4 +45%) Drifts Away
1.5
6/4(+45%)
(11) Drifts Away 6/4, On a hat-trick after 1m wins at Chelmsford and Southwell in recent weeks. Going the right way and a 7 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him. Progressive 3yo; it's not always as easy to dominate here and a 7lb rise demands more.
2
3rd (2) (13/2 -30%) Book Of Life
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(2) Book Of Life 13/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/4, best run for this yard when fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Sat close to a strong pace when 4th at Wolverhampton and is 2lb lower today; interesting.
3
4th (3) (17/2 -6%) Charlie Mason
8.5
17/2(-6%)
(3) Charlie Mason 17/2, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (7f) 11 days ago. Rossa Ryan takes the ride for the first time since the pair combined to win at Windsor in May. Back on last winning mark if getting away and getting home at 1m, but that's the gamble.
5
5th (5) (22/1 -159%) Celebrating Ethel
22
22/1(-159%)
(5) Celebrating Ethel 22/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Good fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/1) 23 days ago, not ideally placed. Polytrack efforts in Ireland weren't exciting and this trip round here is a bare minimum.
6
6th (6) (10/1 +17%) Slaney Swagger
10
10/1(+17%)
(6) Slaney Swagger 10/1, Fairly useful form in Ireland but below that level in 4 runs since coming to Britain, fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 22 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. String of costly defeats for Jim Bolger and a couple more for this yard; risky now.
8
7th (8) (25/1 +38%) I Can't Believe
25
25/1(+38%)
(8) I Can't Believe 25/1, Modest maiden. Well held in first 2 handicaps last month. Others are much more obvious. Needs to brush things up at the start; Claxton Bay may be his yard's best chance.
12
8th (12) (10/1 +55%) Edvard Grieg
10
10/1(+55%)
(12) Edvard Grieg 10/1, Fair maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (1m) 26 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Ex-Irish; run poorly twice since a fair debut for this yard and has it to prove now.
1
9th (1) (33/1 -83%) Green Power
33
33/1(-83%)
(1) Green Power 33/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (1m) 35 days ago, left poorly placed. Not easy to make a case for on recent efforts but he did win twice on AW at the beginning of 2024. Getting on and less consistent now but 6lb below his last winning mark; each-way shout.
9
10th (9) (28/1 -100%) Outrace
28
28/1(-100%)
(9) Outrace 28/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) 25 days ago. Well handicapped; each-way claims but his strike-rate and losing run of 16 is offputting.
7
11th (7) (18/1 +18%) Beauld As Brass
18
18/1(+18%)
(7) Beauld As Brass 18/1, Unreliable sort. Refused to race here when last seen in August. Has rejoined yard after leaving Adam West. Not one for maximum faith. Third go beyond sprint trips; refused to race last time; questions to answer.
4
12th (4) (25/1 -257%) Claxton Bay
25
25/1(-257%)
(4) Claxton Bay 25/1, Winner at Beverley in September. 11/4, bit below form when sixth of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago. Claims if back to the Beverley form. Touch disappointing as favourite last time but maybe the ground was slower than ideal.
15:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
DRIFTS AWAY is progressing nicely and supplemented his breakthrough Chelmsford triumph when justifying favouritism at Southwell. A further 7lb rise demands considerably more of him, but his rate of improvement could keep him ahead of the handicapper for now. Claxton Bay was unable to reward favourite-backers when attempting to back up a Beverley victory at Newmarket and, even though he has something to prove on the all-weather, he can't be written off yet. Book Of Life and Celebrating Ethel are a couple more to consider.
DRIFTS AWAY stands out as a 3-y-o on the up and can defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Hitched confirmed he's back in better form when fourth at Wolverhampton last month and is second choice ahead of Claxton Bay.
The longer trip should be fine for BOOK OF LIFE, who was a 7.5f 2yo Polytrack winner in France. He's preferred to Hitched.
(1) Castle Carrock 4/6, Out of a dual bumper winner and a likely type on paper for a stable with a strong bumper record, particularly here. Dam bumper/2m2f hurdle winner; makes debut with trainer in good form; one to consider.
3
2nd (3) (33/1 +0%) Jack Dempsey
33
33/1(+0%)
(3) Jack Dempsey 33/1, Jack Hobbs colt. Dam, no show in 2 bumpers, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (3m-3½m winner) See You There and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Golden Sparkle. Trainer 0-36 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Dam half-sister to two useful winners; trainer's horses have been running well this autumn.
6
3rd (6) (5/1 -43%) Shes All Pride
5
5/1(-43%)
(6) Shes All Pride 5/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points (May 25). The stable has had a bumper winner in the last 5 seasons. Runner-up in a point (albeit no match for winner); has to be respected on bumper debut.
4
4th (4) (22/1 -38%) Portnablagh
22
22/1(-38%)
(4) Portnablagh 22/1, Berkshire gelding who was pulled up in an Irish point last month. Wears a tongue strap. Pulled up in point but has travelled from Northern Ireland for bumper debut; not ruled out.
2
5th (2) (15/2 +77%) Glenville
7.5
15/2(+77%)
(2) Glenville 15/2, 25/1, down the field in a Haydock bumper in May. Returns in what is probably a weaker race but still only consider if the subject of market support. There's potential in his pedigree but he tailed off at 25-1 on debut at Haydock in May.
5
6th (5) (5/1 -82%) Wild Reiver
5
5/1(-82%)
(5) Wild Reiver 5/1, Valirann gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Colonial Dreams. Wears hood. Interesting newcomer for a yard which has a 3-21 record in bumpers here in the last 5 seasons. First foal; dam unraced half-sister to some useful winners; possible player on debut.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CASTLE CARROCK is out of a bumper winner and is a close relation to a useful chase winner. This looks a good starting point and he rates the one to side with first time up for the in-form Nicky Richards yard. Runner-up on her only point-to-point start, Shes All Pride commands respect on her Rules debut, while Wild Reiver and Glenville are a couple of others to consider.
Nicky Richards operates at a 25% strike-rate in bumpers here so CASTLE CARROCK looks the most likely winner before any market clues are known. Iain Jardine is more than capable of readying one for a race like this so Wild Reiver is a tentative second choice ahead of Irish point runner-up She's All Pride, a first ever Ayr runner for Deborah Cole.
The filly SHES ALL PRIDE showed ability in an Irish mares' maiden point in May and it's possible this race may not take much winning.
(3) Might I 7/2, Useful hurdler who ran respectably in some competitive handicaps in the spring. More than capable off this mark if in the mood back from 6 months off (yard going well). Not firing on all cylinders when last seen in spring; needs break to have done him good.
10
2nd (10) (5/1 -25%) Aston Martini
5
5/1(-25%)
(10) Aston Martini 5/1, Bumper winner who also landed her first 2 starts over hurdles last winter (all good to soft). Possibly unsuited by more testing conditions when a remote fourth in Sandown Grade 2 in February. Interesting now handicapping on reappearance. Flopped in Grade 2 novice in February but looked promising when winning first two hurdles.
6
3rd (6) (11/1 -22%) West To The Bridge
11
11/1(-22%)
(6) West To The Bridge 11/1, Exploits mixed during a light 2023/24 campaign but he did catch the eye when fourth over this C&D in March. Well-held third on Fontwell return last month but he ought to be sharper now. Respected having dipped to a mark in the 120s for the first time in nearly 3 years. On a good mark now but would appeal much more on slower ground.
4
4th (4) (6/1 +29%) Jungle Jack
6
6/1(+29%)
(4) Jungle Jack 6/1, C&D winner who reacted well to blinkers when runner-up at Kelso (2m) when last seen in May. Cheekpieces back on this time. Represents last year's winning trainer/jockey combination. Absent since his Kelso second in May but remains on the same, workable mark.
1
5th (1) (16/1 +11%) Homme Public
16
16/1(+11%)
(1) Homme Public 16/1, Multiple winner over hurdles and very useful form over fences last season, including a Grade 2 win. However, ran poorly back from 5 months off at Chepstow 32 days ago and now reverts to hurdles. Disappointed over fences last month and needs to be in peak form to overcome current mark.
2
6th (2) (28/1 -40%) Della Casa Lunga
28
28/1(-40%)
(2) Della Casa Lunga 28/1, Back-to-back winner at Ludlow in February but found out in a warmer race at Punchestown in May. Off since. Might be best to look elsewhere. Won twice at Ludlow in February; further progress is possible if she tuned up after break.
5
7th (5) (22/1 +12%) Cheddleton
22
22/1(+12%)
(5) Cheddleton 22/1, Back to form in cheekpieces when winning a 4-runner handicap chase at Newcastle at the end of February but pulled up in 2 subsequent outings. Returns from 6 months off with a point to prove. In poor form when last seen in spring and has done all his winning on soft/heavy ground.
7
8th (7) (13/2 -8%) Jipcot
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(7) Jipcot 13/2, Won 2m Huntingdon handicap hurdle in March. Impressed with how he travelled when third of 16 in Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) later that month (final start for Ben Pauling). Never involved in Welsh Champion Hurdle on return for new yard but should strip fitter now. Hood off and up in trip. Placed in last season's Imperial Cup; player if reappearance run brought him on.
11
9th (11) (13/2 +19%) Itsnoteasy
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(11) Itsnoteasy 13/2, £100,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who contested 3 2½m maiden hurdles at Uttoxeter at the end of 2023, going close on the second occasion before making it third time lucky in December. Unexposed handicap newcomer from a good stable. Won Uttoxeter maiden last December; should have more to offer in handicaps this season.
8
|PU| (8) (12/1 -50%) Lemoncello
12
12/1(-50%)
(8) Lemoncello 12/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles and fences in France in 2023. Been off for over a year ahead of this British debut. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations. Consistent in France last year (two wins); makes British debut after 380-day absence.
9
|PU| (9) (12/1 +40%) Benassi
12
12/1(+40%)
(9) Benassi 12/1, Won twice over hurdles in early 2023. Back to that level when second of 4 in 19.5f Lingfield handicap last November. Returned lame when well beaten at Wetherby 2 months later and absent since. Sean Bowen on yard's other runner. Returns from layoff on workable mark but Itsnoteasy may be the stable's main hope here.
15:35 Bangor-on-dee Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Venetia Williams has a good record with French imports and, with that in mind, LEMONCELLO could be worth chancing on his UK debut. A winner over fences when last seen in his homeland, this half-brother to the smart Saint Pair looks a bright prospect back over hurdles. The class-dropping Aston Martini also rates a player in this company, while Itsnoteasy warrants consideration debuting in a handicap from a workable mark.
WEST TO THE BRIDGE could be spot on for this after last month's reappearance and might be worth siding with to take advantage of his lowest mark for a while. Unexposed pair Aston Martini and Itsnoteasy are interesting handicap newcomers, while Might I is more than capable off his current rating if on a going day.
Preference is for JIPCOT, who was placed over a slightly higher mark in a major handicap in March and might have needed his recent run.
(17) What's Your Game 16/1, Once-raced colt. Sixth of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 5/1) on debut 27 days ago. Likely to improve. Reserve 3. Third reserve, showed inexperience on debut, warmed to his task late, open to improvement.
4
1st (4) (5/6 +63%) Forza Toro
0.833333
5/6(+63%)
(4) Forza Toro 5/6, Aclaim colt. Promising start when fourth of 10 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) on debut 71 days ago, no extra late on. Open to improvement with that under his belt and he's shortlisted. Betrayed his inexperience when hitting the front in a 7f maiden at Gowran, can do better.
7
2nd (7) (18/1 -29%) Aviatrice
18
18/1(-29%)
(7) Aviatrice 18/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1, showed benefit of debut experience when second of 12 in maiden at this course (6f) 14 days ago, switched final 1f and keeping on. Each-way claims with a repeat. Took a big step in the right direction here last time despite meeting trouble in running.
5
3rd (5) (8/1 +11%) One Horse Town
8
8/1(+11%)
(5) One Horse Town 8/1, Foaled April 14. €10,000 yearling, Threat gelding. Half-brother to 7f-1m winner Stanford. Yard in good form. Half-brother to 7f AW/1m turf winner Stanford, cost much less than stablemate Dahoma.
3
4th (3) (80/1 -60%) Brigadier Kakuru
80
80/1(-60%)
(3) Brigadier Kakuru 80/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fifth of 11 in maiden (200/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 31 days ago, weakening gradually final 1f. Low-grade handicaps promise to be more suitable. Showed improvement from his debut at Cork when fifth in a 6f maiden at Navan, more needed.
13
5th (13) (33/1 -65%) Amicitia
33
33/1(-65%)
(13) Amicitia 33/1, Foaled April 28. Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to 11.5f/1½m winner Female Approach and 7f-1¼m winner New Star. Stable in good form. Half-sister to winners Female Approach and New Star; dam placed over 7f at two.
1
6th (1) (11/1 -22%) Dahoma
11
11/1(-22%)
(1) Dahoma 11/1, Foaled April 27. €62,000 yearling, €80,000 2-y-o, Wooded gelding. Half-brother to useful 9f/1¼m winner in France Douriann. Dam French 1m winner. Trainer going well. Half-brother to a Listed winner in France; dam French Group-placed 1m winner.
12
7th (12) (11/1 +67%) Vlhova
11
11/1(+67%)
(12) Vlhova 11/1, Thrice-raced filly. 66/1, sixth of 15 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 51 days ago, plugging on without threatening. Handicaps will be more her bag. Respectable sixth at Listowel on her third start, would have a better chance in a handicap.
10
8th (10) (33/1 -136%) Georg Zhukov
33
33/1(-136%)
(10) Georg Zhukov 33/1, Thrice-raced gelding who wasn't seen to best effect when eighth of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 40/1) 19 days ago. Remains open to improvement but handicaps could well be more his bag. Distant second of 14 in a 1m Thurles maiden; big price when down the field here last month.
2
9th (2) (7/1 -40%) I Am Me
7
7/1(-40%)
(2) I Am Me 7/1, Thrice-raced colt. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 14 in maiden (10/1) at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Pick of form gives him sound claims. Placed in two soft-ground maidens, unplaced favourite over C&D in between raising a doubt.
11
10th (11) (16/1 +0%) Shamanka
16
16/1(+0%)
(11) Shamanka 16/1, Foaled March 7. Shaman filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Red Power and 5f winner in US Isabel Alexandra. Dam unraced sister to high-class sprinter Slade Power. Half-sister to two sprint winners; dam an unraced sister to top-class sprinter Slade Power.
6
11th (6) (14/1 -17%) Six Thirty
14
14/1(-17%)
(6) Six Thirty 14/1, Twice-raced colt. 14/1, left debut form well behind when third of 8 in maiden at this C&D 33 days ago, headed final 1f and no extra. Possible he can do better again. Faded into third over C&D last month, closely matched with fifth-placed I Am Me.
8
12th (8) (16/1 -191%) Flash The Cash
16
16/1(-191%)
(8) Flash The Cash 16/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Below form fourth of 10 in maiden at this course (5f, 3/1) 12 days ago, hampered. Significantly up in trip. Several decent runs including in a 6f maiden and a 5f Listed race at this track, new trip.
14
13th (14) (100/1 +0%) Glasheen Girl
100
100/1(+0%)
(14) Glasheen Girl 100/1, Foaled March 29. Smooth Daddy filly. Dam maiden (stayed 10.5f), half-sister to useful 1m winner in US Top Surprize. First foal out of a mare who failed to win but boasts a decent pedigree, best watched.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Donnacha O'Brien's I AM ME brings a good level of form into battle with a runner-up berth at Roscommon and a third place in the Curragh. Forza Toro was beaten just over three lengths into fourth on debut at Gowran Park and the winner has since finished second in a Group 2, so he has to be respected. Flash The Cash is up in trip and, with three placed runs banked, she could get involved. Joseph O'Brien runs two newcomers in One Horse Town and Dahoma who should be given a market check. Reserve What's Your Game would be of interest if getting a run as there was definite promise in his debut sixth in a Curragh maiden.
FORZA TORO produced a promising first effort when fourth in a Gowran maiden back in September and, rating a likely improver with that under his belt, he looks to hold sound claims on polytrack debut. I Am Me and Aviatrice are others to consider.
A hopeful vote goes to SIX THIRTY who showed much improved form on his second start and may beat the well exposed Flashthecash
(12) Phoenix Moon 5/1, C&D winner in August. 22/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 23 days ago. Can give a good account. Steady progress in recent times and is proven over C&D; set to go well once more.
3
2nd (3) (10/1 +0%) Harb
10
10/1(+0%)
(3) Harb 10/1, Course winner. Latest win at Sandown in August. Last of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 50/1) 30 days ago. Drawn widest. Happier over 5f these days and stall 12 can't be ideal for one happiest on the sharp end.
2
3rd (2) (6/1 +40%) Professor Tickle
6
6/1(+40%)
(2) Professor Tickle 6/1, C&D winner under Rossa Ryan last December. Below par since but back on a good mark as a result and interesting with Ryan in the plate for the first time since that C&D success. Ran poorly in four starts in the summer and needs to bounce back after a break.
8
4th (8) (150/1 -127%) Okami
150
150/1(-127%)
(8) Okami 150/1, Course winner for Roger Varian but has struggled since joining Laura Mongan. Struggled badly for this yard, including in cheekpieces latterly; hard to recommend.
4
5th (4) (17/2 -55%) Recon Mission
8.5
17/2(-55%)
(4) Recon Mission 17/2, Course winner. Twenty five runs since last win in 2022. 13/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Expected to be bang there. Goes well here and won't mind coming back up from 5f, so he is one to consider.
11
6th (11) (28/1 -40%) Alshimali
28
28/1(-40%)
(11) Alshimali 28/1, Modest form at best in 4 starts for Marcus Tregoning. Drops in trip on first outing for a new yard after 5 months off. The betting should guide. Drops from 1m and is drawn wide for his new yard, whose best chance may be Recon Mission.
10
7th (10) (12/1 -9%) Sassy Redhead
12
12/1(-9%)
(10) Sassy Redhead 12/1, Three-time C&D winner. Probably needed it back from a break at Chelmsford (6f) 13 days ago but he needs to have come on a lot. Three wins and two seconds from seven runs over C&D; should fare better than latest start.
5
8th (5) (7/1 +50%) Roman Emperor
7
7/1(+50%)
(5) Roman Emperor 7/1, 12/1, last of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft) 29 days ago. Bounce back needed. Rather lost the plot but no surprise to see the return here bring about a better effort.
6
9th (6) (2/1 +60%) Walking On Clouds
2
2/1(+60%)
(6) Walking On Clouds 2/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 3/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 25 days ago. has come down a long day in the weights and a market move would be interesting. Well treated now but is still to make the frame after six runs on Polytrack.
7
10th (7) (10/1 -200%) Lion Ring
10
10/1(-200%)
(7) Lion Ring 10/1, Sprinter on a roll on AW this autumn, making it 4 wins in his last 5 starts when seeing off 7 rivals at Chelmsford (6f) 32 days ago. Has to be much respected in his current mood. Has progressed well this autumn; seems as happy here as at Chelmsford; leading claims.
1
11th (1) (40/1 -43%) Dream By Day
40
40/1(-43%)
(1) Dream By Day 40/1, Below par since joining this yard and absent since March so it's probably best to look elsewhere. Fitted with a first-time tongue strap. Wins for previous yards came over 5f after a recent outing; would want to see some support.
9
12th (9) (33/1 -32%) Voodoo Ray
33
33/1(-32%)
(9) Voodoo Ray 33/1, Three turf wins in the spring but rarely in the same form since. Finished well held over C&D in August and does seem more effective on turf.
15:50 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LION RING is unbeaten in his last four appearances on Polytrack - all in class 6 company - with his sole defeat in that time coming in a class 5 on the Southwell Tapeta. Andrew Martin's six-year-old has only been bumped up another 3lb for his latest success, and Ryan Kavanagh clearly gets a great tune out of him. Phoenix Moon arrives in good form and could turn out to be the primary threat, although spare a thought for the veteran Recon Mission.
The thriving LION RING might be able to defy the handicapper again from a handy inside stall. Phoenix Moon and Recon Mission arrive in form and should be on the premises, while Professor Tickle and Walking On Clouds are back on good marks and would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in their favour.
Phoenix Moon is respected but LION RING (nap) is selected to win his fifth consecutive race when on Polytrack.
(1) Beaufort Scale 2/1, Winner at Kilbeggan (3m, good) in July. Below par in Gowran handicap last month but good shout here if bouncing back to his best. Modest in a handicap last time but has won a 3m maiden hurdle; in top hands.
7
2nd (7) (3/1 +33%) Carrig Kate
3
3/1(+33%)
(7) Carrig Kate 3/1, Winning pointer who was fourth in a Southwell bumper in the spring and ran to a fair level when second of 7 in 2¾m Stratford novice on hurdle debut, with reopposing Night Duty behind in fifth. Should be on the premises again. Point winner; chased home a nice prospect at Stratford; chance if coping okay with ground.
3
3rd (3) (15/2 +85%) Latenightrumble
7.5
15/2(+85%)
(3) Latenightrumble 15/2, Half-brother to Latenightpass. Four-time point winner who ran to a fair level when second in 3¼m Cheltenham hunter chase in May. 2m an inadequate test when well beaten in a pair of Warwick novice hurdles this autumn and this trip much more suitable. Four point wins; 2m inadequate in recent novice hurdles but others appeal more.
2
4th (2) (15/8 +6%) Minella Rescue
1.875
15/8(+6%)
(2) Minella Rescue 15/8, Dual bumper winner who made it third time lucky over hurdles in 2¾m Stratford novice in May. A penalty shouldn't prevent a prominent showing on return. Penalised for Stratford; all three wins have been on good; chance if the ground dries out.
4
5th (4) (12/1 -20%) Night Duty
12
12/1(-20%)
(4) Night Duty 12/1, £65,000 buy after winning his sole point in May 2021 but seen only twice over hurdles in the 3½ years since, latterly fifth of 7 over 2¾m at Stratford 25 days ago, with the reopposing Carrig Kate ahead in second. Needs to build on that. Long absences a feature; got edgy before performing below expectations last time.
8
6th (8) (25/1 -150%) Subtle Fortune
25
25/1(-150%)
(8) Subtle Fortune 25/1, Only seventh of 12 in bumper at Warwick (2m, good to soft) on debut in February 2023 but has won twice in the pointing field since. Worth a second look in the betting. Might have completed a hat-trick in points this year had she not run out in April.
5
7th (5) (80/1 +20%) The Big Breac
80
80/1(+20%)
(5) The Big Breac 80/1, Placed in a point but looks more of a long-term prospect based on his 2 efforts over hurdles last month. 0-4 in points and beaten 41l and 26l in a pair of 2m4f hurdles; an unlikely winner.
6
|PU| (6) (300/1 -200%) Bea My Shadow
300
300/1(-200%)
(6) Bea My Shadow 300/1, Bred to have a future but no promise in a Sedgefield bumper and Wetherby novice hurdle 8 months apart. Last of seven in a bumper and 66-1 when pulled up on her hurdling debut (2m3f).
16:05 Bangor-on-dee Maiden Hurdle (Class 4)
23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BEAUFORT SCALE, who has proven stamina from facing stiffer tests in Ireland, appeals strongly back in novice company and is readily suggested as the one to be with. Stratford scorer Minella Rescue is far from the finished article and, unexposed over this trip under Rules, rates a serious threat to the selection. Carrig Kate wasn't beaten far at Stratford last month and is another appealing option. Betting support for point-to-point winner Subtle Fortune would be noteworthy.
If Gordon Elliott's BEAUFORT SCALE can recapture the form he showed when landing a Kilbeggan maiden in July he's probably the one to beat. Minella Rescue, a winner at Stratford when last seen in May, and last month's Stratford runner-up Carrig Kate are likely to provide the main opposition.
A chance is taken on NIGHT DUTY. He got edgy beforehand and probably didn't do himself true justice last month at Stratford.
(3) Shoot To Kill 9/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. First run since leaving Jack W. Davison when eleventh of 14 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 19 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Solid AW record in Britain, needs to bounce back from a below-par showing here last month.
4
2nd (4) (10/3 +17%) Altimara
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(4) Altimara 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden who was gambled on and ran best race when third of 14 in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. Comes here easily one of the least exposed and she's worth considering. Every chance now based on her last two C&D runs, fourth in a maiden, third in a handicap.
8
3rd (8) (11/1 -38%) Mullacash Buzz
11
11/1(-38%)
(8) Mullacash Buzz 11/1, 4-time C&D winner. 9/1, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, losing place approaching final 1f. Handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more at least. 7f specialist and a four-time C&D winner, unplaced here 19 days ago but unwise to rule out.
11
4th (11) (9/1 0%) Lorr's Girl
9
9/1(0%)
(11) Lorr's Girl 9/1, Winner at Cork in September. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (15/2) at Gowran (8f, good) 53 days ago. Each-way possibilities back on all-weather. Cork winner over this trip in September, fair fifth over 1m at Gowran on latest.
9
5th (9) (25/1 -108%) Purring Along
25
25/1(-108%)
(9) Purring Along 25/1, Latest win at the Curragh in October. Creditable seventh of 26 in handicap back at that venue (7f, good to soft, 22/1) 10 days ago. Can give a good account again. Long-priced Curragh winner last month, fine effort from out of the handicap ten days ago.
10
6th (10) (20/1 -67%) Amemri
20
20/1(-67%)
(10) Amemri 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Listowel in September. Tenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 14 days ago, squeezed out leaving stalls and racing off the pace. Better showing anticipated. Dual C&D winner including this time last year; well below her best here two weeks ago.
2
7th (2) (8/1 +20%) The Bear Trap
8
8/1(+20%)
(2) The Bear Trap 8/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Eleventh of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, soft, 12/1) 22 days ago. Others more persuasive. A 16 race maiden with fair placed form, no luck in running on last two Curragh outings.
1
8th (1) (7/2 -17%) Blanc De Noir
3.5
7/2(-17%)
(1) Blanc De Noir 7/2, Bounced back to form in refitted blinkers to score at Fairyhouse (6f) in September and followed up in 14-runner handicap at this course (6f, 5/1) 19 days ago, leading final strides. Totally unexposed on this surface and he's a big player in hat-trick bid. Backed up a Fairyhouse win with a 6f success here last month on AW debut, respected.
13
9th (13) (100/1 -100%) Navorrosse
100
100/1(-100%)
(13) Navorrosse 100/1, Hooded for 1st time, thirteenth of 19 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 40/1) 21 days ago, racing off the pace and never a threat after 4 months off. Should be sharper with that under her belt but her overall record is a mixed one. Three wins on turf, 0-8 on AW, twice down the field since Leopardstown second in June.
6
10th (6) (22/1 -10%) Notforalongtime
22
22/1(-10%)
(6) Notforalongtime 22/1, 4-time course winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 50/1) 24 days ago. Usual cheekpieces quickly reapplied and better showing anticipated returned to this C&D. In rear in a claimer here in July; good overall form at this venue, had a recent turf run.
7
11th (7) (20/1 0%) Charlie Brow'n
20
20/1(0%)
(7) Charlie Brow'n 20/1, Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Galway (7f, heavy) 16 days ago. Had underfoot conditions as a plausible excuse then and his very best efforts have come here. Struggled on heavy ground at Galway, better judged on promising fourth on good at Listowel.
15
12th (15) (50/1 +24%) Knockmore Prince
50
50/1(+24%)
(15) Knockmore Prince 50/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 50/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Reserve. Reserve, seems to have deteriorated since a three-time runner-up here early in 2023.
14
13th (14) (33/1 -65%) Wonder Spirit
33
33/1(-65%)
(14) Wonder Spirit 33/1, One win from 30 Flat runs. 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, pulled hard and weaken out of things when eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (1m) in July. Absent since but worth noting he's gone well fresh previously. Course winner, twice runner-up over 1m here this year, out of form during the summer.
5
14th (5) (7/1 +7%) Jazzy Dancer
7
7/1(+7%)
(5) Jazzy Dancer 7/1, Course winner. Creditable neck fourth of 14 to Blanc De Noir in handicap at this course (6f, 12/1) 19 days ago, collared final 50 yds. Merits consideration. Two course wins have been gained at 6f, not far off his best when fourth over 6f last time.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ALTIMARA wouldn't be winning out of turn having coming home fourth and third in her last two appearances at Dundalk. Jockey Nathan Crosse holds the box seat in stall one which gives him options. Notforalongtime has been out of form, but he competes off a lowly mark due to Jimmy Dalton's claim and a better performance wouldn't be surprising. Mullacash Buzz is another on an appealing mark with a 10lb claimer aboard. Blanc De Noir is on a hat-trick after winning a couple of 6f handicaps at Fairyhouse and this venue. He is up another 5lb and has to show that he is as effective over this trip. Jazzy Dancer's three victories have come over shorter trips.
BLANC DE NOIR has bounced back to form with blinkers refitted of late, successful at Fairyhouse before following up over 6f here 3 weeks ago. Totally unexposed on this surface, he looks a live player in his hat-trick bid back at 7f. Lightly-raced 3-y-o Altimara and Jazzy Dancer are others to consider. Wonder Spirit also makes each-way appeal at likely longer odds.
Winner of this race in 2021 and 2023, MULLACASH BUZZ has a fighting chance with Nicola Burns aboard
(1) Sex On Fire 11/10, Fairly useful gelding. Course winner. Only ffth of 8 in nursery at York (6f, soft, 15/2) 66 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Course winner (5f) whose Haydock second in July sets the standard; new trip this afternoon.
2
2nd (2) (15/8 +17%) Immediate Effect
1.875
15/8(+17%)
(2) Immediate Effect 15/8, Overcame greenness to make a winning start in 11-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 39 days ago, also trapped wide for most of way too. Runner-up has gone in since so he's a big player with plenty more to come. Overcame adversity to make a winning debut at Wolverhampton (7f); form franked; contender.
3
3rd (3) (7/1 -75%) Sahara Dancer
7
7/1(-75%)
(3) Sahara Dancer 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. 33/1, below form 7¼ lengths eleventh of 19 to Candy in listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly. Highly tried in two runs for current yard; stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust.
4
4th (4) (66/1 -65%) Magna Gee Gee
66
66/1(-65%)
(4) Magna Gee Gee 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at this C&D 11 days ago. Second run was better than his debut but more improvement a must if he's to contend here.
5
5th (5) (9/1 +25%) Silver Arrow
9
9/1(+25%)
(5) Silver Arrow 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f, heavy, 12/1) 25 days ago. Easily his best effort came in his one attempt on AW; even that needs bettering though.
8
6th (8) (200/1 -203%) Squires Treaty
200
200/1(-203%)
(8) Squires Treaty 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 22/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 13 days ago. Two runs last month not devoid of promise but significant progress is needed to win.
10
7th (10) (17/2 -183%) I Can Imagine
8.5
17/2(-183%)
(10) I Can Imagine 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 15 in maiden (7/2) at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) 23 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Joseph O'Brien and in the picture. Showed promise for J O'Brien, including AW, prior to recent 25,000gns sale; not ruled out.
11
8th (11) (250/1 -150%) Quirke On Parole
250
250/1(-150%)
(11) Quirke On Parole 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in novice at this C&D (80/1) on debut 13 days ago, slowly away. 80-1 when a well-beaten 8th of 9 over C&D on her debut 13 days ago; longer-term prospect.
6
9th (6) (100/1 +0%) Eager Puccini
100
100/1(+0%)
(6) Eager Puccini 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, tenth of 12 in maiden at this course (8.1f) on debut 20 days ago. Well held when 125-1 for a 1m maiden here three weeks ago.
7
10th (7) (150/1 -50%) Jackchester
150
150/1(-50%)
(7) Jackchester 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, tenth of 12 in novice at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 22 days ago, very slowly away. Well beaten at Newcastle on debut (7f) but showed clear promise; longer-term prospect.
9
11th (9) (50/1 +24%) Penn Avenue
50
50/1(+24%)
(9) Penn Avenue 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, ninth of 12 in novice at Newmarket (7f, soft) 21 days ago. Modest form in two 7f runs last month; minor handicaps on her agenda soon.
16:30 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although Sex On Fire has something to prove after two defeats at York, the combination of a gelding procedure and a longer trip should see him in a better light. He cannot be ruled out, but IMMEDIATE EFFECT makes slightly more appeal. The son of Study Of Man overcame greenness when making a winning debut at Wolverhampton and he may be able to find enough improvement to defy a penalty. I Can Imagine and Sahara Dancer are others to consider.
Sir Mark Prescott's IMMEDIATE EFFECT looked a good prospect when overcoming inexperience and a troubled passage to make a winning debut at Wolverhampton and is fancied to follow up at the chief expense of Sahara Dancer who has the form to have a big say. Jack Jones' new recruit I Can Imagine is also in the mix along with Sex On Fire.
Although he will need to improve to defy a penalty, IMMEDIATE EFFECT did so much wrong at Wolverhampton that progress looks very likely.
(12) Lord Talbot 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, fifth of 6 in maiden at Roscommon (7.5f, soft) 30 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Visor on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Beaten a long way in all 4 turf starts; basement mark for handicap debut with visor tried.
7
2nd (7) (9/4 +25%) Warazam
2.25
9/4(+25%)
(7) Warazam 9/4, Creditable fifth of 17 in handicap (9/2) at the Curragh (10f, soft) 22 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Can make presence felt. Only weakened late at Curragh so worth another try at this trip, a lesser stamina test.
6
3rd (6) (13/2 +28%) Marians Gal
6.5
13/2(+28%)
(6) Marians Gal 13/2, Fifth of 11 in handicap (20/1) at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Run respectably on latest two here over shorter; not sure this return to 1m2f will suit.
11
4th (11) (8/1 +20%) Thegooseiscooked
8
8/1(+20%)
(11) Thegooseiscooked 8/1, Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 7 days ago, never nearer after another slow start. Visor on 1st time. Claims if she can break on terms. Fair recent form here; visor now tried and not one to rule out (though 2lb wrong).
10
5th (10) (8/1 +20%) Lost Soul
8
8/1(+20%)
(10) Lost Soul 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in maiden (50/1) at Naas (8f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed 3yo entering handicaps and upped in trip; market could prove interesting.
8
6th (8) (12/1 +64%) Dark Treat
12
12/1(+64%)
(8) Dark Treat 12/1, Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (11/1) at Gowran (8.3f, heavy) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Cheekpieces now tried for AW debut but hard to make a case for from 6lb out of handicap.
2
7th (2) (22/1 -10%) Slowdownbarney
22
22/1(-10%)
(2) Slowdownbarney 22/1, Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (12f, 40/1) 14 days ago. Struggled so far in handicaps; probably needs more respite from the handicapper.
3
8th (3) (11/2 +27%) Rotolo
5.5
11/2(+27%)
(3) Rotolo 11/2, 10/1, bit below form tenth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good) 81 days ago. Good second at Leopardstown prior to that. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces back on. Enters the reckoning. Placed on turf this year; AW debut and could go well if taking to the surface.
5
9th (5) (7/2 +56%) Aljadel
3.5
7/2(+56%)
(5) Aljadel 7/2, First run since leaving Richard Hughes when fourteenth of 20 in handicap (11/1) at the Curragh (10f, soft) 22 days ago. Needs to build on that returned to AW. Ground against her latest; more expected of here back on AW.
4
10th (4) (33/1 -65%) Venetian
33
33/1(-65%)
(4) Venetian 33/1, 10/1, last of 9 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm), slowly away. Off 107 days. Significantly back up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. AW winner at two; some fair turf form this year though not latest; tongue-tie tried now.
13
11th (13) (20/1 +39%) Marvellous Lady
20
20/1(+39%)
(13) Marvellous Lady 20/1, 16/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.5f, soft) 30 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. 0-10 on turf over various trips; hard to fancy on AW debut (2lb wrong).
9
12th (9) (100/1 -525%) Knock Flyer
100
100/1(-525%)
(9) Knock Flyer 100/1, Remains a maiden after 29 Flat runs. First run since leaving E. J. O'Neill and 200/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.5f, heavy) 17 days ago. Early days with top yard but hardly a solid one. Pulled up on yard debut in Wexford maiden hurdle last month; 7lb wrong and hard to fancy.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ALJADEL has plenty of all-weather form in Britain and can make an impact on her Dundalk debut. She should be sharper after a spin on turf at the Curragh last month. Warazam looks weighted to do damage after a couple of runner-up finishes at Cork and Thurles in October. She wasn't beaten far into fifth when last seen over further at the Curragh. Rotolo has acquitted herself well in slightly higher grades at Navan and Leopardstown which brings her into the reckoning. It is worth noting that both Warazam and Rotolo are setting foot on Polytrack for the first time.
WARAZAM has a less-exposed profile than most of these and might be able to get off the mark on the back of some solid efforts in turf handicaps this autumn. Rotolo will be a threat if bouncing back to the level of her penultimate Leopardstown second. Thegooseiscooked could also play a part if getting away from the stalls better in first-time headgear.
Not the most competitive for the grade and perhaps worth chancing on ALJADEL now returning to the AW
(3) Aquacell 6/5, 11/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at Ascot (8f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Can give a good account. Ran well on unfavourable terms at Ascot and she's respected back in a 7f handicap.
4
2nd (4) (10/1 +0%) Enola Grey
10
10/1(+0%)
(4) Enola Grey 10/1, Course winner. Good fifth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at this course (8.1f) 23 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Four-time AW winner who wasn't beaten far here last time and has claims back in trip.
5
3rd (5) (14/1 -115%) Triumph Of Peace
14
14/1(-115%)
(5) Triumph Of Peace 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Salisbury in August. Ninth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this course (6.1f) 20 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. In the mix back up to 7f. Still unexposed and now goes back up in trip but she needs more progress.
9
3rd (9) (28/1 +0%) Twirler
28
28/1(+0%)
(9) Twirler 28/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy, 12/1) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive. Dual Tapeta winner but she's been out of sorts this autumn and needs to get back on track.
6
5th (6) (66/1 -100%) Powdering
66
66/1(-100%)
(6) Powdering 66/1, 4 wins from 15 runs this year. 28/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy) 11 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Four wins in the spring but has mixed record since and she comes with risks attached.
7
6th (7) (11/1 -57%) Get Jiggy With It
11
11/1(-57%)
(7) Get Jiggy With It 11/1, Winner at Redcar in August. 12/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 53 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Needs to bounce back after a heavy defeat at Newmarket and she's untried on Tapeta.
2
7th (2) (10/3 +17%) Mrs Morrell
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(2) Mrs Morrell 10/3, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in May. 100/1, badly hampered when twenty seventh of 30 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 145 days ago. Not ruled out after her lay-off. Lightly raced 3yo who drops back in trip/grade and could resume her progress after a break.
8
8th (8) (8/1 -23%) Apeeling
8
8/1(-23%)
(8) Apeeling 8/1, 18/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago, running on. Needs considering. Unexposed on AW and she went close when upped to 7f at Wolverhampton latest; key player.
1
9th (1) (14/1 -155%) Executive Decision
14
14/1(-155%)
(1) Executive Decision 14/1, 17/2, creditable fourth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (7f, heavy) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Looks competitive on form. Generally reliable 4yo who went close off this mark in September; in the mix on AW debut.
17:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The step up to 7f enabled an improved bid from APEELING when a staying-on third at Wolverhampton. A 1lb nudge up the ratings looks more than workable for Andrew Balding's filly and a second career victory could be on the cards. Mrs Morrell didn't enjoy the best of passages in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and she is one to note on her return in calmer waters. Executive Decision is also dropping in class and completes the shortlist.
A case can be made for a few of these but Gemma Tutty's course winner ENOLA GREY rates the pick of the weights so edges the vote from the returning Mrs Morrell who remains with potential for the powerful Gosden team. Executive Decision and Triumph of Peace also warrant plenty of respect in this competitive handicap.
The vote goes to APEELING, who is unexposed on AW and was a strong-finishing third when upped to 7f at Wolverhampton last time.
(7) Trishuli River 9/2, Course winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft, 10/1) 42 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Needs a return to AW to spark a revival. 1m winner here a year ago but yet to convince over this trip.
4
2nd (4) (10/3 +33%) Jawhary
3.333333
10/3(+33%)
(4) Jawhary 10/3, One win from 21 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Respected. Last week's C&D fifth (only beaten 1.5l) his best run for some time so not one to rule out.
11
3rd (11) (33/1 0%) L'immortale
33
33/1(0%)
(11) L'immortale 33/1, 22/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Tongue strap on 1st time. 0-10 and 7lb out of handicap; tongue-tie needs to bring serious improvement.
2
4th (2) (4/1 +38%) Numidia
4
4/1(+38%)
(2) Numidia 4/1, Course winner. Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. Very good fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (12f, 9/1) 14 days ago. Can give a good account . Didn't appear to stay under forcing tactics over 1m4f latest; drop back in trip to suit.
5
5th (5) (9/1 -38%) Omakase
9
9/1(-38%)
(5) Omakase 9/1, Unsuited by the drop to 7f when fifth of 24 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft, 10/1) 22 days ago, running on. Interesting now stepping up in trip. Curragh run encouraging and could have more to offer over this longer trip.
6
6th (6) (28/1 +15%) Gear Flat
28
28/1(+15%)
(6) Gear Flat 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.3f, soft, 250/1) 42 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Limited appeal. Well held in three recent turf maidens; cheekpieces now fitted for AW/handicap debut.
1
7th (1) (10/1 +17%) Gioiella
10
10/1(+17%)
(1) Gioiella 10/1, 12/1, last of 7 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f), slowly away. Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip. Rejoined yard after leaving Archie Watson. Southwell runs below best but respected back with in-form yard dropped in grade.
12
8th (12) (14/1 +30%) Perfect Curves
14
14/1(+30%)
(12) Perfect Curves 14/1, Blinkered for 1st time, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (22/1) at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Looks competitive on form. Blinkers didn't bring improvement latest; first attempt at this trip and 3lb wrong.
10
9th (10) (20/1 +20%) Lady Montse
20
20/1(+20%)
(10) Lady Montse 20/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8.3f, heavy, 20/1) 23 days ago. Up in trip. Didn't show much for Adrian Murray last year; similar story for current yard; 3lb wrong.
9
10th (9) (5/1 +50%) Kampala Beach
5
5/1(+50%)
(9) Kampala Beach 5/1, C&D winner. Fifteenth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, soft, 33/1) 22 days ago. C&D winner two years ago off this basement mark; don't rule out in a weak race.
13
11th (13) (125/1 -89%) Wonderwalk
125
125/1(-89%)
(13) Wonderwalk 125/1, First run since leaving Andrew McNamara when sixteenth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, soft, 66/1) 22 days ago. Well beaten in handicaps earlier this year and poor comeback run last month; hard to fancy.
8
12th (8) (50/1 +0%) Brackloon Bay
50
50/1(+0%)
(8) Brackloon Bay 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap at Thurles (8.2f, good, 100/1) 34 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Modest form in maidens here and recent turf runs poor; very hard to make a case for.
3
13th (3) (18/1 -300%) Darkened
18
18/1(-300%)
(3) Darkened 18/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in claimer at this C&D (33/1) 26 days ago. Enters calculations back in a handicap. C&D winner back in March off 61 but has mainly struggled since but down to nice mark now.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
NUMIDIA didn't perform badly over further in fourth at Bellewstown and fifth at this track. The last couple of times he ran over C&D he finished second, so a big run looks likely. Jockey Wesley Joyce is good value for his 5lb claim. Jawhary has been sliding down the weights and was beaten less than two lengths into fifth over C&D last week. He races off the same mark, so is well in the hunt for prize money. Omakase tries a new trip on her third run back from a lengthy absence and shouldn't be ruled out.
This trip could be what OMAKASE wants so she's worth chancing to get off the mark. Darkened, Jawhary and Numidia head the dangers in this finale.
Not too many appeal and perhaps last week's C&D fifth JAWHARY could be the one in what appears a weaker race for the grade
(5) Kildonan 11/1, Fair gelding. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 37 days ago. Sets standard on best form but he's struggled the last twice and needs a major turnaround.
4
2nd (4) (11/1 -100%) Trouble Man
11
11/1(-100%)
(4) Trouble Man 11/1, Foaled January 22. €36,000 foal, Profitable gelding. Closely related to winner up to 7f Napanook, and half-brother to useful 6f/7f winner Lir Speciale and 7f winner Mereside Madness. Considered. 36,000euros foal; yard had a 2yo winner last week and he needs watching in market.
2
3rd (2) (50/1 -25%) Impulse Buy
50
50/1(-25%)
(2) Impulse Buy 50/1, Foaled April 6. 24,000 gns foal, 7,500 gns 2-y-o, Ulysses gelding. Closely related to 1½m winner Bradman. Dam 6f winner. Has fair standard to aim at on debut and he could be a longer-term prospect.
10
4th (10) (9/4 +78%) Miss Funky Monk
2.25
9/4(+78%)
(10) Miss Funky Monk 9/4, Foaled March 18. €10,000 2-y-o, Shalaa filly. Half-sister to useful French 2-y-o 5f winner Wheels On Fire and French 1m/9f winner I'm A Believer. Dam lightly raced. Wears blinkers. Blinkers are applied on debut but she has a good pedigree and needs checking in market.
9
5th (9) (11/4 +8%) Grey Salvo
2.75
11/4(+8%)
(9) Grey Salvo 11/4, Promising second of 8 in maiden (9/1) at this C&D on debut 9 days ago, slowly away. In the mix with better to come. Eyecatching second behind an odds-on rival over C&D on recent debut; key player.
3
6th (3) (11/2 +21%) The Voominator
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(3) The Voominator 11/2, Once-raced colt. 18/1, sixth of 12 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on debut, not knocked about. Off 114 days. Up in trip. Should progress. Ran green on Beverley debut (5f) in July and he needs to leave that form well behind.
7
7th (7) (13/2 -8%) President Wilson
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(7) President Wilson 13/2, Twice-raced colt. 10/3, third of 9 in novice at this course (7.1f) 13 days ago. Needs to build on it. Has ability and it's still early days but he needs a big step forward on this drop in trip.
11
8th (11) (50/1 -100%) Missile Mac
50
50/1(-100%)
(11) Missile Mac 50/1, Thrice-raced filly. Seventh of 9 in novice (150/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 18 days ago. In good hands and still unexposed but she needs a transformation on this switch to Tapeta.
1
9th (1) (66/1 -65%) Get Up Everybody
66
66/1(-65%)
(1) Get Up Everybody 66/1, Once-raced colt. Ninth of 12 in novice (150/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 22 days ago, not knocked about. Can do better. Finished in rear when 150-1 on Newcastle debut; needs major improvement dropped in trip.
8
10th (8) (12/1 -118%) Ribbon Is A Dancer
12
12/1(-118%)
(8) Ribbon Is A Dancer 12/1, Foaled April 1. 15,000 gns yearling, Soldier's Call colt. Half-brother to winner up to 7f Tareekh and 1m winner Tilt At Windmills. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart 1¼m winner Snoqualmie Boy. Interesting newcomer. Yard 16% with 2yos this year and he needs close look on debut.
6
11th (6) (28/1 +15%) Nave Force
28
28/1(+15%)
(6) Nave Force 28/1, Foaled February 9. 30,000 gns foal, 17,000 gns yearling, Land Force gelding. Closely related to useful 6f winner Last Surprise and half-brother to useful winner up to 7f Coco Jamboo. Dam maiden. Plenty to like on paper and interesting to see how he figures in market.
17:30 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having stayed on encouragingly when runner-up at Southwell, a breakthrough victory shouldn't be long in coming for GREY SALVO. This represents a drop in class for Roger Fell's filly and she rates as the one to beat. Kildonan should prove more competitive reverting to maiden company, although he does have something to prove after finishing last at Pontefract. With that in mind, President Wilson may give the selection most to think about, despite this drop in distance looking against the son of Bobby's Kitten.
The market should prove highly informative but Hugo Palmer's Soldier's Call newcomer RIBBON IS A DANCER is bred to be well above average so gets the vote at the chief expense of form-pick Grey Salvo. Another debutant Trouble Man could have a say too in this open-looking maiden.
Preference is for GREY SALVO, who made a promising start when runner-up behind an odds-on rival over C&D last Monday.
(9) Prometeo 13/2, 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (10/3) at Kempton (11f) 85 days ago. Not taken lightly on his tapeta debut. First Tapeta run; on a hat-trick after 1m2f/1m3f wins on turf and Polytrack; up 4lb.

2nd (8) (14/1 -40%) Haku
14
14/1(-40%)
(8) Haku 14/1, Landed 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 7/4) 37 days ago, well ridden. Ought to be in the shake-up. Close up in three 1m4f runs here; career-high mark after recent Wolverhampton win.
2
3rd (2) (16/1 -45%) Fantasy Believer
16
16/1(-45%)
(2) Fantasy Believer 16/1, C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 22/1) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Significantly back up in trip. Can give a good account. Broke course record over C&D in August; had ground/trip excuses since; needs strong pace.
5
4th (5) (4/1 +50%) Gloucestershire
4
4/1(+50%)
(5) Gloucestershire 4/1, First run since leaving Richard Hannon when respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 10/1) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Merits consideration. Well treated with Fantasy Believer on turf form in 2023; just two runs since; Tapeta debut.
3
5th (3) (17/2 -70%) La Pulga
8.5
17/2(-70%)
(3) La Pulga 17/2, Latest win at Thirsk in September. 14/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 22 days ago. In the mix once more. In good form at 1m4f on AW, nailed late at Newcastle latest; another tough display likely.
4
6th (4) (12/1 -50%) Beraz
12
12/1(-50%)
(4) Beraz 12/1, 10/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) 44 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip and one to consider. Useful efforts in two Newcastle handicaps (1m4f/1m2f) last winter; can be involved.
1
7th (1) (20/1 -150%) Westerton
20
20/1(-150%)
(1) Westerton 20/1, 11/8, very good fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Useful on the Flat so holds leading claims. Useful 1m2f handicap form; hasn't appreciated the switch to hurdles since; cheekpieces on.
6
8th (6) (11/10 +67%) Primo Lara
1.1
11/10(+67%)
(6) Primo Lara 11/10, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at York in May. Off 5 months before coming in eleventh of 17 in handicap (8/1) at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 18 days ago, not enjoying a clear run over 2f out. Makes tapeta debut. Likely to improve. Unexposed in handicaps, 1-1 on AW; better for latest run after break; has more to come.
18:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Prometeo accounted for his nearest rival by half a length at Kempton to supplement a Doncaster triumph and holds an obvious chance of completing the hat-trick. However, the step up in grade might catch him out so LA PULGA gets the nod. Charlie Johnston's five-year-old produced a good effort to hit the crossbar in a tougher event than this at Newcastle and is only 2lb higher. With a repeat of that effort, he will prove tough to beat. Beraz is another to consider.
Alan King's WESTERTON comes here on the back of a very good fifth over hurdles so is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Primo Lara should be all the better for his recent Doncaster eleventh after an absence and could emerge as the main danger, with Prometeo, Beraz and Gloucestershire all worthy of consideration too.
Fantasy Believer has plenty going for him back over C&D but PRIMO LARA was on the upgrade earlier and may still be ahead of his mark
(1) Destinado 7/1, Prolific upon joining this yard, gaining sixth victory of 2024 at Musselburgh (12.5f) in April. However, recent efforts not so inspiring, beaten a long way out when last of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 18 days ago. Visor replaces blinkers now returned to class 6 company. Combination of step back up in trip and return to Class 6 may help; on a handy mark.
8
2nd (8) (12/1 -60%) Fiftyshadesaresdev
12
12/1(-60%)
(8) Fiftyshadesaresdev 12/1, Maiden. 25/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this course (11.1f) 34 days ago, held close home. Not taken lightly having fallen plenty in the weights this year. Longstanding maiden but recent form is respectable; finished second here last time.
10
3rd (10) (4/1 +71%) High Court Judge
4
4/1(+71%)
(10) High Court Judge 4/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at this course (8.1f) 11 days ago, always behind. Significantly up in trip and he's not one to write off for yard firmly amongst the winners. Stamina to prove but could be dangerous if he stays; very well treated on peak form.
5
4th (5) (7/1 +22%) Smokey Malone
7
7/1(+22%)
(5) Smokey Malone 7/1, Course winner. 9/1, not seen to very best effect when sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (14f) 27 days ago. Looks competitive on form. May ideally need further than this distance but he is attractively handicapped.
3
5th (3) (3/1 +25%) Camacho Man
3
3/1(+25%)
(3) Camacho Man 3/1, Landed back-to-back handicaps at Leicester/Lingfield during early summer and solid return from 5 months off when second of 12 in a C&D handicap 11 days ago. Fancied to be thereabouts again. Generally in good form this term; close second over C&D last time; highly respected.
6
6th (6) (12/1 -71%) Bay Dream Believer
12
12/1(-71%)
(6) Bay Dream Believer 12/1, Temperamental sort. Latest win at Ripon in August. Good fifth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Has a lower mark to work from on all weather and she's another worth considering. Unable to take advantage of lower AW mark last time; stamina to prove back at 1m4f.
12
7th (12) (12/1 +33%) Lady Phoebe
12
12/1(+33%)
(12) Lady Phoebe 12/1, Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (7/2) at Redcar (10f, heavy) 16 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. This rates more suitable from career-low mark. 3yo maiden who has lacked consistency but went close off 3lb higher in August.
4
8th (4) (11/2 +15%) Rose Light
5.5
11/2(+15%)
(4) Rose Light 11/2, Course winner. Good second of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 19 days ago, forced to switch final 1f and keeping on. Not out of things from 1 lb higher mark. Registered sole win here; runner-up in two of her four starts for new yard; in the mix.
11
9th (11) (20/1 -25%) Sweet Painted Lady
20
20/1(-25%)
(11) Sweet Painted Lady 20/1, Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at this course (14.1f) 48 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and little more needed if she's to open her account. Inconsistent maiden; chance partly depends on how well she responds to cheekpieces.
9
10th (9) (16/1 -33%) Sneaky Blinder
16
16/1(-33%)
(9) Sneaky Blinder 16/1, Winner at Salisbury in July. First run since leaving Tom Ward when seventh of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft, 4/1) 22 days ago. Refitting of blinkers can help now. Could go well with the blinds reapplied; has form figures of 31524 in this headgear.
7
11th (7) (80/1 -100%) Orange Martini
80
80/1(-100%)
(7) Orange Martini 80/1, 150/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 14 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Best watched. Form for current stable leaves a lot to be desired; still a maiden.
18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ROSE LIGHT closed all the way to the line when finishing second at Wolverhampton and that form reads well in the context of this race. Tony Forbes' five-year-old goes off only a 1lb higher mark and could record her second course victory. Camacho Man occupied the runner-up berth over track and trip earlier in the month and he might get into contention, while Fiftyshadesaresdev is another to keep an eye on.
CAMACHO MAN ran well on the back of a 5-month break when runner-up over C&D 11 days ago and, entitled to be sharper with that under his belt, he could be the answer having been nudged up just 1 lb. Bay Dream Believer is holding her form well and is feared along with Rose Light.
Judged on 2024 form CAMACHO MAN (nap) holds particularly solid claims. Rose Light is second choice.
(1) Happier 2/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form fifth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Catterick (6f, heavy) 15 days ago. Not discounted on tapeta debut. Infrequent winner but she looks well worth a crack at both 5f and AW; interesting.
4
2nd (4) (7/2 +0%) Lewis Barnes
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(4) Lewis Barnes 7/2, Showed a good attitude to get off the mark at Kempton (6f) on penultimate start and not disgraced in stronger company when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 18 days ago. No reason why he won't be competitive again back at the minimum trip. Kempton win last month (6f) before midfield finish at Chelmsford; drops back in trip.
6
3rd (6) (15/8 +17%) Fortunate Star
1.875
15/8(+17%)
(6) Fortunate Star 15/8, Displayed more encouraging signs from much-reduced mark and capitalised when dead-heating in 12-runner C&D handicap 6 days ago. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and he's one to consider. Dead-heated in a tight finish over C&D last week; 3lb higher with penalty; yard flying.
2
4th (2) (12/1 -85%) Mehmo
12
12/1(-85%)
(2) Mehmo 12/1, C&D winner. Step back in right direction when fifth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Nottingham (5f, soft) 14 days ago. Held form well on all-weather earlier this year and he's respected operating just 1 lb above last winning mark. Conditions fine and he looked to be on the way back to form at Nottingham latest; chance.
9
5th (9) (40/1 -233%) Stroxx
40
40/1(-233%)
(9) Stroxx 40/1, One win from 51 Flat runs. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Chelmsford City (5f). Off 7 months. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Creditable third when last seen in April; record of 1-51 hardly bet compelling though.
8
6th (8) (20/1 -100%) Brandy Station
20
20/1(-100%)
(8) Brandy Station 20/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Ffos Las in June. 28/1, shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off when fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Fallen to a workable mark and his rider takes off a handy 7 lb here. Respected. Won a weak four-runner classified race in June; less good twice since; others appeal more.
11
7th (11) (25/1 -108%) Belvoir Kitten
25
25/1(-108%)
(11) Belvoir Kitten 25/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 50/1, fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago, no extra late on. Not sure to be in same form here. Exposed 17-race maiden; conditions no problem but easy enough to swerve.
5
8th (5) (40/1 -21%) Al Najada
40
40/1(-21%)
(5) Al Najada 40/1, Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving K. R. Burke/after 16 months off understandably looked rusty when eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (80/1) 27 days ago. This should reveal more. Can step up on last month's reappearance/stable debut but he needs to; others are safer.
7
9th (7) (20/1 +39%) Lochaber
20
20/1(+39%)
(7) Lochaber 20/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, 2½ lengths seventh of 12 to Fortunate Star in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 6 days ago. Down in the weights but retains some ability; could go well at a price.
10
10th (10) (80/1 -60%) Captain Bentley
80
80/1(-60%)
(10) Captain Bentley 80/1, Eighth of 9 in minor event (66/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 75 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time now but he's hard to fancy. Exposed maiden for whom a change of headgear isn't enough to tempt.
19:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Stroxx finished a close-up third at Chelmsford in April and should give a good account off a 1lb lower mark on his return to action. However, HAPPIER looks the way to go. Tim Easterby's four-year-old was well held in fifth at Catterick last time, but she has been dropped 2lb so it would be no surprise to see her capitalise on a career-low mark. Fortunate Star shared the spoils over C&D last week and is another to watch out for.
FORTUNATE STAR capitalised on his much-reduced mark when dead-heating in a C&D contest 6 days ago and he could well be up to following up under a penalty. Happier, Brandy Stationm with a recent run under his belt, and Lewis Barnes are others to consider.
Mehmo can go well at this level but HAPPIER belatedly tackles 5f for the first time and and she can defy top weight.
(6) Sir Joseph Swan 4/1, 12/1, very good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago, well positioned. Has good chance on form. Threatening to regain the winning thread; close second over C&D last week; good chance.
5
2nd (5) (11/8 +59%) Arc Zoosve
1.375
11/8(+59%)
(5) Arc Zoosve 11/8, Lightly-raced maiden. Good close second of 9 on handicap debut at this course (14.1f, 16/1) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Should have more to offer. Neck second on handicap debut over 1m6f here last month, showing improvement; respected.
4
3rd (4) (12/1 -118%) Brividi
12
12/1(-118%)
(4) Brividi 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 80/1) 25 days ago, slowly away. Has plenty of stamina in her pedigree and she appeals as a likely improver now upped in trip and switched to handicaps. Ran encouragingly last time; siblings include a 2m winner; progress is possible.
1
4th (1) (11/4 +54%) Daaris
2.75
11/4(+54%)
(1) Daaris 11/4, One win from 22 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 5/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 25 days ago. Player if building on that. Registered sole win on turf but has a consistent AW record; solid chance.
2
5th (2) (13/2 +0%) Kojin
6.5
13/2(+0%)
(2) Kojin 13/2, Creditable third of 12 in handicap (7/2) at this course (12.1f) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account. In-form contender who looks a likely player provided he stays this trip.
7
6th (7) (100/1 0%) Kitten's Dream
100
100/1(0%)
(7) Kitten's Dream 100/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Thirty six runs since last win in 2023. 125/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago. On a long losing sequence and recent form is poor.
19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ARC ZOOSVE put in a career best when a neck second over 1m6f at this venue on his handicap debut a couple of weeks ago and a further step up in trip can see him go one better. Sir Joseph Swan has also been knocking on the door of late and is an obvious threat, while Kojin edges out Daaris to be best of the rest.
ARC ZOOSVE showed improved form when only just failing to make a winning handicap debut here last month and shades the vote over fellow 3-y-o Brividi, who should do much better now upped markedly in trip for handicap bow. Sir Joseph Swan has been knocking on the door of late and completes the shortlist.
Sir Joseph Swan's turn looks near but unexposed ARC ZOOSVE is an interesting alternative. Alex The Great won yesterday.
(4) Supernova Steps 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 20 days ago. Down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Poor form thus far but sprinting could be her thing and her yard has found some form.
1
2nd (1) (4/1 -45%) My Boy Jack
4
4/1(-45%)
(1) My Boy Jack 4/1, 11/4, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago. Has good chance on form. All wins at Wolverhampton but effective elsewhere; solid each-way contender.
6
3rd (6) (3/1 +65%) Socialise
3
3/1(+65%)
(6) Socialise 3/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. 18/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 29 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Nigel Tinkler. 6f Tapeta win in April off 7lb higher; mixed bag since; sold £1,800 in Oct; market useful.
2
4th (2) (16/1 +0%) May Remain
16
16/1(+0%)
(2) May Remain 16/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 23 days ago. Tongue strap back on. On dangerous mark but not shone after a summer break; revival may be predicted by betting.
9
5th (9) (25/1 -56%) Banana
25
25/1(-56%)
(9) Banana 25/1, Remains a maiden after 37 Flat runs. Last of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (6f) 8 days ago. Exposed 37-race maiden; may pick up a weak race but perhaps at Wolverhampton.
8
6th (8) (14/1 -75%) Zachary
14
14/1(-75%)
(8) Zachary 14/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Won twice at Chelmsford last year; 0-16 in 2024 and opposable despite his lowly mark.
5
7th (5) (2/1 +20%) Hi Hoh Tonto
2
2/1(+20%)
(5) Hi Hoh Tonto 2/1, Unreliable sort. 13/8, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 20 days ago. Long-standing maiden but has made a solid start for current yard. Knocking at the door over 5f for his new trainer; should stay 6f; more appealing than many.
11
8th (11) (50/1 +24%) Robespierre
50
50/1(+24%)
(11) Robespierre 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 6 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Poor form in his five starts; a visor is tried tonight but others look much stronger.
7
9th (7) (12/1 -100%) My Kind Of Girl
12
12/1(-100%)
(7) My Kind Of Girl 12/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 16/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Can make presence felt. Exposed maiden but she's been threatening and the return to 6f is a plus; respected.
10
10th (10) (40/1 +20%) Dash Power
40
40/1(+20%)
(10) Dash Power 40/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 100/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 4 days ago. Exposed 16-race maiden; yet to shine this autumn; remains opposable for win purposes.
20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
MY BOY JACK has been running consistently well in defeat of late and his most recent third over this trip at Newcastle suggests that he could be hard to beat in this company. Hi Hoh Tonto has a similar profile to the selection and could give him plenty to think about. Others to consider are My Kind Of Girl and Zachary.
MY BOY JACK continues to hold his form well, placed for the fourth consecutive start at Newcastle 2 weeks ago, so gets the nod over Hi Hoh Tonto and My Kind of Girl.
My Boy Jack and Hi Hoh Tonto look solid candidates to run well but this could be the day for MY KIND OF GIRL to break her duck.
(4) Havana Sky 8/1, Winner at Thirsk in August. Visored for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 7/2) 16 days ago. Not kicked on from his turf win in August; goes without headgear this time.
5
2nd (5) (17/2 -42%) You Are Everything
8.5
17/2(-42%)
(5) You Are Everything 17/2, Modest maiden. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 5/1) 57 days ago. Can give a good account. 0-12 but has offered promise, including on AW; a prominent showing could be on the cards.
8
3rd (8) (9/2 +31%) Global Effort
4.5
9/2(+31%)
(8) Global Effort 9/2, 9/2, improved on recent efforts to win 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 2 days ago. Not discounted on the back of that. All out to win at Wolverhampton (6f) on Monday; penalty could anchor his follow-up bid.
2
4th (2) (6/1 +0%) Arc Tesoro
6
6/1(+0%)
(2) Arc Tesoro 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Better run when 5th on his h'cap debut last month (6f, Tapeta); should have more to offer.
7
4th (7) (7/4 +50%) Irish Dancer
1.75
7/4(+50%)
(7) Irish Dancer 7/4, Modest maiden. 4/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Respected. 0-15 but placed over C&D the last twice; yard in form; one for the shortlist.
3
6th (3) (11/2 -38%) Piperstown
5.5
11/2(-38%)
(3) Piperstown 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/8, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 69 days ago. Back up in trip. Enters calculations. Third in both handicap runs; still has some potential which is a big plus point here.
6
7th (6) (16/1 +0%) Savalas
16
16/1(+0%)
(6) Savalas 16/1, Latest win at Bath in September. Bit below form fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 23 days ago. A turf win in September has been followed by two lesser efforts on AW.
9
8th (9) (33/1 -32%) Secret Daay
33
33/1(-32%)
(9) Secret Daay 33/1, Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Exposed maiden who has been well short of his best the last twice; hard to recommend.
10
9th (10) (100/1 0%) L'sarafina
100
100/1(0%)
(10) L'sarafina 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 150/1) 65 days ago. Beaten just two rivals in five starts; no appeal.
1
10th (1) (66/1 -65%) Falcon
66
66/1(-65%)
(1) Falcon 66/1, 80/1, last of 13 in handicap at this course (8.1f) 79 days ago. Back down in trip. Tailed off in 3 handicap runs for new yard this summer; had a wind op since latest; risky.
20:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PIPERSTOWN has filled third place on both starts since being switched to handicaps and a 1lb drop in the ratings could help the unexposed three-year-old get off the mark here. Irish Dancer has made the frame over C&D the last twice and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Savalas and You Are Everything complete the shortlist.
PIPERSTOWN has made a positive start to life in handicaps and gets the vote with the return to 6f in his favour. You Are Everything and Irish Dancer head the dangers.
Unexposed 3yos Piperstown and ARC TESORO appeal most with the latter perhaps open to the greater improvement.

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.
