4th (4) Crazy Luck
6Oliver SearleRod MillmanLanded her sixth win on turf when making all at Nottingham (6f, good) in May for today's rider Oliver Searle off 1lb higher mark; beaten five times since, mostly below form, and steps back up to 7f for the first time since August 2022; vulnerable to less exposed rivals.
7th (1) Little Boy Blue
9Oliver CarmichaelBill TurnerC&D winner who landed his eighth win on turf on his reappearance at Epsom (7f, good) in July off 2lb lower mark; in the frame twice since, this admirable veteran should not be far away.
5th (2) Secret Bid
3Laura CoughlanArchie WatsonMade all at Lingfield (7f, good) in May off 1lb lower mark; beaten four times since but last two starts over 6f on AW can be excused; still early days and chance if back to his best.
1st (3) Island Native
4Frederick LarsonMichael ApplebyGot off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front.
3rd (7) King Of War
5Kaiya FraserMichael WighamDual C&D winner when trained by Alexander Dunn; made promising start for new yard when second at Brighton (May) and over C&D (June) but has gone off the boil of late; well handicapped if he return to form at his favoured track.
6th (5) Redredrobin
7Callum HutchinsonMalcolm SaundersLanded her third C&D win off 5lb lower mark last month (good to firm); beaten a neck when second at Epsom (7f, good) eight days ago; in good nick and she should go well on a track where she has a good record.
2nd (6) Ultramarine
5Alexandra McDonnellDavid Evans0-23 on turf; has run well to be placed on his last three starts, returned to AW when second at Lingfield (7f) last Tuesday; knocking on the door but his losing run is off-putting.


A case can be made for all seven runners but REDREDROBIN (nap) has a good record at this track and can land her fourth course win. Little Boy Blue holds his form remarkably well and is second choice. Of the others, Secret Bid is still lightly raced and may have more to give, Island Native would be dangerous if allowed an uncontested lead and King Of War could bounce back at his favoured track.[Andrew Bladen]

2Georgia DobieJ S MooreHas been sent off at big odds all five starts; made the frame for the first time when fourth at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and she would have finished closer but for not getting a clear run over 1f out; something to build on and first-time cheekpieces go on.
4th (7) Aleishka
2Cieren FallonEd DunlopPlaced for the first time when third on her handicap debut at Beverley (7.5f, soft) in July; she started slowly when never near to challenge on AW debut at Kempton (1m) last time in first-time blinkers (left off today); not progressing and needs to improve.
1st (1) Bracklesham Bay
2William CarverJamie OsborneSoundly beaten on all three appearances but was the subject of market support at Epsom (7f, good) in July on his second start; may be capable of much better and has been gelded since; up in trip and makes handicap debut.
(2) Inshad
2Billy LoughnaneGeorge BougheyWell beaten first three starts; gelded and returned from a break when stepping up in trip for handicap debut at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) yesterday, starting a red-hot favourite and challenging over 1f out, only to find a 66-1 shot too strong; has to be considered seriously if turned out again.
2nd (4) Bownder
2George RookeJonathan PortmanHas improved since stepping up in trip and switching to nurseries; followed up his third at Kempton (1m, AW) last month with a win at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) four days ago; he has a 6lb penalty but should have more to offer off a lowly mark.


Bracklesham Bay (second choice) and Inshad (due to run yesterday) are open to improvement stepping up in trip on their handicap debuts, but BOWNDER, who got off the mark at Salisbury four days ago, can follow up with his 6lb penalty. Inshad came up just a bit short when heavily backed for his handicap debut yesterday.[Andrew Bladen]

3rd (3) Over Spiced
2Ethan JonesPaul AttwaterOff the mark at the second attempt in a Leicester maiden (5f, good), when with Tom Clover; changed hands after one more start; raced freely on debut for this trainer at Beverley (5f, good to firm) latest, when she didn't look the most straightforward but ran well in form terms; not written off.
1st (1) Pearl Of Windsor
2Darragh KeenanConrad AllenMade a bright start in a Newmarket fillies' maiden (6f, good to soft) in July, before a lesser effort at Ascot (6f, good); shrugged that off when winning a Sandown maiden (5f, good) last month; has to shoulder a penalty as a result of that but no surprise if there is more to come from her.
2nd (2) Spherical
2James DoyleRoger VarianReady odds-on winner on debut at Yarmouth in May (5f, good to soft); beaten 10l in the Group 2 Queen Mary (5f, good to firm) next time but more could have been expected from her under a penalty at York latest (6f, good to firm); drops back in trip and no surprise if she's able to bounce back.


While not writing off Over Spiced, this should chiefly concern the debut winner Spherical and last-time scorer PEARL OF WINDSOR. The former has been below par since that Yarmouth success and, while she may bounce back and prove good enough here, the selection has been building steadily and might do even better.[Jonathan Doidge]

4Mikkel MortensenBen LundAppreciated his first attempt at 6f on fast ground when winning at Pontefract last August; has had some disappointments this year but the return to 6f on good to firm will suit on second start for new trainer; revival on the cards.
7th (6) Roody Toody
3Dillon ButlerRichard PhillipsExcelled herself when not far away in 7f Newmarket maiden last September but she hasn't come close to that form in three other 7f starts; off since November and dropped to 6f for handicap debut; one for another day.
5th (5) Umming N' Ahing
4Gina ManganBill TurnerWon first three 5f handicaps on turf last spring, all on good to soft or slower; things haven't gone so well since and a hurdle run on Saturday can't have put much pep into him; looks best watched.
2nd (8) Diamond Cottage
7Charlie BennettMalcolm SaundersC&D winner in 2022 but her four wins since have come over 7f; has not found it easy this year and no sign of her taking advantage of a lowly mark over 6f or 7f in August (her second at Salisbury was a remote one).
3rd (3) Charlie Mason
3William CarsonTony CarrollAW winner at 6f last September; three good runs at this trip for new yard, far too good for rivals at Windsor (soft; acts on good to firm) in May and not doing at all badly in a competitive Haydock race after; appreciated the return to 6f when runner-up on Kempton AW recently (tongue-tie added); may yet pull out more; solid chance.
8th (1) Razzam
4Frederick LarsonMichael ApplebyWon yard debut at Yarmouth (5f) last August but had his share of weight on AW in midwinter; back from break with a deflated display at Southwell in July but ran more encouragingly there (7f) since; slipped in the weights and he might well do better now back at 6f on turf.
1st (7) Savannah Smiles
4Callum HutchinsonGrace HarrisTwo AW wins at 6f in early spring and one over C&D (good to soft) in June; below best at Bath two starts ago but has remained in form either side of that; might be vulnerable on ground quicker than good.
4th (4) Stalingrad
7Billy LoughnanePatrick ChamingsCareer littered with layoffs but he was quite impressive on debut for this trainer over C&D last August (6f, good to soft; acts on good to firm) and he's not weighted out of it back up 2lb despite the absence since; interesting for in-form yard.


Razzam could well have better prospects back on turf and he can be the main danger to CHARLIE MASON whose 6f form for this yard suggests he should still have a bit up his sleeve despite going back up 2lb for a narrow defeat by an unexposed one on the AW last time out. Stalingrad has an absence to overcome but he could easily make a go of it in this company. Savannah Smiles could do with some rain but is not ruled out either.[Emily Weber]

3George DowningDavid EvansSixth foal; half-sister to winners Mabre (1m; RPR 81) and Bedtime Bella (6f; 74); dam placed at 5.5f-6.5f (including in 2yo Group 3; 88), closely related to useful 6f/7f winner Captain Dion, out of Group-placed 5f/6f winner; best watched on her debut.

(3) Kalik
3Paddy BradleyMike Murphy & Michael KeadyShowed promise in two starts last year over 5f; left Dominic Ffrench-Davis for 2,000gns this July and subsequently gelded; has to overcome lengthy absence and first-time hood goes on; best watched.
1st (1) Altmore
3Cieren FallonWilliam Haggas360,000euros yearling; encouraging debut when fourth at Newcastle (6f, AW) last November; gelded since and makes belated seasonal/turf debut; half-brother to four winners and has good credentials; market will be best guide but if he shows any improvement he will take all the beating.
2nd (2) Caffu Zafeen
3Billy LoughnaneJames TateSecond in maidens at Haydock (7f, good) in July and Southwell (6f, AW) last month; looks sure to go close.


This should take little winning and the Haggas-trained 3yo ALTMORE should be hard to beat, despite not having been seen since a promising fourth on his debut at Kempton last November. The obvious alternative is Caffu Zafeen who has shown promise on his last two starts and looks a handicap prospect. The others should build on their runs and are ones for the future.

7Sean D BowenRichard PriceCapable at this level and four of her turf wins have come at this track; laboured effort in a stronger race here when last seen in July but there are positives today, including the prospect of rain and the booking of a talented 3lb claimer; not discounted.
2nd (4) Darkened Edge
4Gina ManganChristopher MasonEasily accounted for her two rivals at Bath last month (5f, firm) but she was unable to live with the principals in the closing stages at Windsor two weeks ago; others look more persuasive.
3rd (6) Louis Treize
8Laura CoughlanThomas FaulknerHas more ability than most with his sort of mark but he isn't easy to win with; this track suits and Laura Coughlan has won on him a couple of times, so he is one to consider, especially given his penultimate effort was promising.
1st (3) Some Nightmare
7William CarsonJohn O'SheaIt's getting on for two years since his last win but he's tumbled down the weights and recent signs have been more encouraging, including when hot on the heels of My Delilah and Concierge over C&D last week; should be in the mix once again.
(1) Concierge
8Kaiya FraserMichael AttwaterMultiple winner down the years and served notice that he was ready to add to his tally when a close fourth over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; closely matched with My Delilah and Some Nightmare on that run; rain no hindrance; contender.
4th (2) My Delilah
4Billy LoughnaneAdrian WintleJust one win to her name from 18 starts but she's run several solid races in defeat this year, including when finishing fastest of all over C&D last week; in front of Concierge and Some Nightmare on that occasion but no certainty to confirm the placings.


Concierge, My Delilah and Some Nightmare are closely matched on last week's C&D run and all come into the reckoning. Concierge might prove the pick of them today but the fact that the first five home finished in a heap does cast a shadow over the form. Rhubarb's chance would be enhanced by rain but the pick is LOUIS TREIZE, who has a few ideas of his own but he won't mind conditions and his penultimate effort suggested he was ready to strike.[Paul Smith]

4th (5) Tres Chic
3Millie WonnacottJ S MooreHas won three times, the latest her best at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in June off 1lb higher mark; inconsistent since, she produced one of her better efforts when third at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) four days ago; should be thereabouts.
1st (3) Judge Frank
3Joshua BryanJohn & Rhys FlintHasn't built on the promise of his debut second at Newbury in June last year; made the frame for the first time since when fourth of 14 over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago for new yard, when he attracted support; needs to show a bit more.
5th (4) Queen Jean
3Trevor WhelanHarry CharltonLightly raced, she was placed for the first time when third at Lingfield (7.5f, good to firm) last month on her second run for her new yard, despite racing freely; has something to build on and should run well.


This looks a suitable opportunity for ROGUE ROSIE to get off the mark after a good third at this track last month. Queen Jean showed she was getting the hang of things last time on her second start for her new trainer and is second choice. Tres Chic has already won three times and should also be on the premises.

All of these met over 7f last month with Delicatesse appearing to lose concentration when it mattered, racing alone up the centre of the course. It wouldn't be the greatest surprise if she fared better. COLJANI had the benefit of the rail that day and is penalised for that success. However, he's a genuine sort and represents a stable which is adept at bringing them on slowly and he has the physique to shoulder top-weight. Aloof is also noted.
