|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(4)  Galahad Threepwood |  | |  | | | 7 | Rowan Scott | Ewan Whillans | Has mostly struggled to get competitive since winning over hurdles in March 2023; last three runs have been at big odds on the Flat, fifth of six last time, and he is 9lb lower than on reappearance. | ||
(10)  Trafalgar Square | | | | | | 3 | Ryan Sexton | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | 0-4 for Andrew Balding and 0-4 for current yard, tried over hurdles on last two outings and given wind surgery in between; made the frame three times and cheekpieces now join his usual tongue-tie, but others have more pressing claims. | ||
(11)  Glasses Up | | | | | | 9 | Joanna Mason | R Mike Smith | Ayr specialist, an infrequent winner these days but latest instance (1m2f; has won at up to 1m6f) was only two starts back; most 2024 form suggests he will be vulnerable. | ||
4th (2)  Arcon | | | | | | 4 | Kieran O'Neill | Jennie Candlish | 9.5f AW winner at Chantilly last October and he was also placed on turf in France; second start for this trainer (1m4f on Southwell AW) was more like it but he needs to build on that for his in-form stable. | ||
(7)  Hakuna Babe | | | | | | 4 | Tom Marquand | Ed Walker | Sole win from 14 races was at Windsor (1m2f, heavy) last October off 6lb higher; tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (which are now removed) on latest outing; this is a rethink on trip, following three attempts over 1m, and she's never been beyond 1m2f; bit to prove. | ||
(9)  Elemental Eye | | | | | | 3 | Jason Hart | Iain Jardine | 0-11 but three seconds, the latest over 1m2f here in early July; ran creditably on last two outings, albeit finishing only sixth of seven when upped to 1m4f on latest; others are a bit more persuasive. | ||
2nd (3)  Furzig | | | | | | 9 | Oisin Orr | Richard Fahey | Broke a losing run by a nose off this mark in five-runner race at Catterick in July, the highlight in a solid sequence, but below form on both outings since. | ||
(5)  Aztec Sun | | | | | | 3 | Daniel Tudhope | Charles Hills | Fair form in his first two Irish maidens, before a lesser show when tongue tied on latest; had wind surgery three days later and has left Joseph O'Brien (same owners); unexposed handicap debutant, bred for middle distances. | ||
(12)  Scottish Reel | | | | | | 3 | Andrew Mullen | Charlie Johnston | Beaten about 10l in two novices last September and 13l when fourth of nine in a maiden at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm; 22-1) when reappearing in July; needs improvement but he could strip fitter this time and this step up in trip for handicap debut makes appeal on pedigree. | ||
3rd (1)  Croeso Cymraeg | | | | | | 10 | Joe Leavy | James Evans | Only one win (last July) in the last two years but this veteran is regularly close up, including off this mark on two of his last three starts; claimer ridden on last five; considered each-way. | ||
(8)  Minstrel Knight | | | | | | 3 | Callum Rodriguez | Edward Bethell | Snatched second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in May and comfortably went one better at Carlisle (1m3f, good) in June; absent since until he asked a serious question of the hot favourite at Southwell on (1m4f, AW) Wednesday, the pair drawing clear, and he's probably well treated if in the same form two days later. | ||
1st (6)  Papagei | | | | | | 3 | Ray Dawson | James Ferguson | Probably acts on good to soft; made all when off the mark at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in April and showed improved form when coming from towards the rear to win in fine style at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) on latest outing; the latter was a step up in trip and, although he's now 8lb higher, he may have more to give at around 1m4f. |
There are several possible improvers among the 3yos, with PAPAGEI (nap) selected following his impressive win from off the pace when upped to this trip last time out. Minstrel Knight ran well on Wednesday and has a good shout judged on that performance. Scottish Reel is a dark horse to keep a close eye on, while Aztec Sun's three qualifying runs were for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland.[Richard Austen]

3rd (1)  Grace Angel | | | | | | 4 | Jason Watson | Darryll Holland | Went close at Windsor (5f, good to firm) in May and won at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month on second run since wind surgery; this C&D winner is not discounted but she's been inconsistent this year and was only fifth at Windsor (5f, good to firm) most recently; unproven on slow ground. | ||
(2)  Never Dark | | | | | | 7 | Billy Garritty | Iain Jardine | C&D winner (soft) who scored at Nottingham (5f, good) in July and was runner-up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) on August 1; drops back down in grade having contested Class 2s the last twice but others have more compelling claims judged on recent evidence. | ||
(13)  Zaphea | | | | | | 3 | Andrew Mullen | Iain Jardine | 3yo who made it three wins for the year when making all at Hamilton (5f, heavy) a fortnight ago; the other wins came on good going; however, she's up in the weights and in grade today, and her form can be up and down. | ||
1st (12)  Our Absent Friends | | | | | | 6 | Rowan Scott | Tristan Davidson | Runner-up on three of his last four starts, most recently in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Ripon (5f, good) 11 days ago; last win came on soft ground; each-way contender off the same mark as last time. | ||
(4)  Copper Knight | | | | | | 10 | Duran Fentiman | Tim Easterby | 10yo prominent-racer who has been inconsistent this year but has shown plenty of spark on occasions and is edging back down the weights; tends to ply his trade in a higher grade than this and he's not ruled out. | ||
2nd (5)  Arecibo | | | | | | 9 | Zak Wheatley | Declan Carroll | 9yo whose losing streak goes all the way back to May 2021 but he's run some good races this year and is on a career-low mark; in with a chance. | ||
(9)  Love Wars | | | | | | 3 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | 3yo who was beaten just a head on handicap debut over C&D in June (good to firm; unraced on slow ground); below that level at Hamilton and Doncaster the next twice but perhaps the return here can trigger a bigger effort. | ||
(7)  Thunder Star | | | | | | 4 | Harrison Shaw | Jessica Macey | Disappointing over C&D (good to firm) last time but has had a break since and she's a player if tapping back into the promise shown when runner-up over C&D (good) two starts ago; versatile ground-wise. | ||
(8)  The Coffee Pod | | | | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | Richard Hannon | 3yo who won at York (5f, good to soft) in July and ran creditably the next twice; not at his very best the last twice but he's on a competitive mark and can't be written off. | ||
(10)  Kuwait City | | | | | | 4 | Oisin Orr | John Butler | Won on reappearance at Yarmouth in April and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. | ||
(14)  Bayraat | | | | | | 8 | David Egan | Tom Tate | Has improved with each of his three runs this season and was a close third of 18 off this mark at York (5f, good to firm) last time, when denied a clear run; also effective on soft ground; could play another leading role. | ||
(3)  Skallywag Bay | | | | | | 4 | Joe Leavy | Richard Hannon | Three-time AW winner who got off the mark on turf at the 14th attempt, at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) on Monday; also effective on good to soft; she won that four-runner handicap in fine style and is entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty, but today's company is more demanding. | ||
4th (11)  Secret Mistral | | | | | | 4 | Jack Doughty | Tony Carroll | Front-runner who won over C&D (good) in June and was placed over C&D the next twice before a 1l second at Chester most recently, when her saddle reportedly slipped; has also won on soft going; at the top of her game and can make another bold bid under regular rider Jack Doughty. |
Bottom weight BAYRAAT runs off the same mark as when a close third of 18 at York last time and is the selection ahead of the in-form C&D winner Secret Mistral. Arecibo is on a dangerous mark, while Our Absent Friends arrives in good form and Thunder Star is capable of playing a leading role if leaving a lacklustre run behind. Skallywag Bay bolted up at Brighton on Monday but this is more competitive.[Ben Hutton]

(3)  Addendum | | | | | | 2 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | Big prices and soundly beaten in eighth on first two starts (7f/6f, good to firm); others make greater appeal. | ||
(4)  Flashy Dark Angel | | | | | | 2 | Tom Eaves | Kevin Ryan | 75,000euros breeze-up buy who raced on the unfavoured near side when 14l fifth of nine on debut over C&D in July (good; 5-1) and has had wind surgery since; however, others have far more obvious claims. | ||
4th (5)  Mother Mara | | | | | | 2 | Rob Hornby | Ralph Beckett | 68,000gns foal, 80,000gns yearling; fourth foal; closely related to 5f/6f winner Showalong (including 2yo; RPR 94); half-sister to winners Nigg Bay (5f/6f; 85) and Miss Harmony (7f/1m2f including 2yo; 78); dam 6f winner (including 2yo; 94); a useful standard is required from this Mohaather newcomer but her trainer is 8-30 (27%) with 2yos here in the last five seasons. | ||
1st (1)  First Instinct | | | | | | 2 | Tom Marquand | William Haggas | 4-1, recovered from slow start to win by a neck on last month's debut at Nottingham (6f, good to firm); improvement needed to defy a penalty but this well-bred filly is in top hands; could have lots more to offer. | ||
(6)  Rogue Sensation | | | | | | 2 | Callum Rodriguez | Edward Bethell | Weak in the betting on recent debut at Carlisle (6f, good) but finished a close second at 12-1; in calculations after that promising start. | ||
3rd (2)  Liberalised | | | | | | 2 | Daniel Tudhope | K R Burke | Won on debut at Hamilton (6f, good) in June; came up short in Group races the next twice (6f/7f, good/good to firm) but hasn't run badly and could make an impact under a penalty now back down in grade. | ||
2nd (7)  Stormy Impact | | | | | | 2 | Oisin Orr | Richard Fahey | Kept on well for clear second on debut at York (6f, good to firm) in July and, although turned over at 2-5 at Beverley (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago, she came clear with a highly regarded newcomer; the return to 6f could be a plus and she holds leading form claims. |
Having been a clear runner-up on both starts, STORMY IMPACT is taken to get off the mark. Rogue Sensation was a promising second on last month's debut at Carlisle and is second choice ahead of Nottingham winner First Instinct. Liberalised could also have a part to play now back down in grade.[Ben Hutton]

1st (3)  Bintjeddah | | | | | | 2 | Tom Marquand | William Haggas | 8-1, tailed off on debut at Newmarket (7f, good) a fortnight ago; needs to be an entirely different proposition today but it's very early days for this 220,000gns yearling, who is in top hands and now gets headgear. | ||
(6)  Zaraquelle | | | | | | 2 | P J McDonald | Ed Dunlop | 65,000euros foal, 50,000gns yearling; third foal; dam French 1m1f AW 2yo winner (RPR 91), half-sister to 12.5f Listed winner; this Zarak newcomer is likely to improve for today's outing. | ||
(1)  Blueandtangerine | | | | | | 2 | Billy Garritty | Michael & David Easterby | Displayed improved form when upped in trip and winning at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; there can be optimism she'll be suited by today's extra yardage and she's respected under a penalty; tackled soft ground on debut and that run wasn't devoid of promise. | ||
3rd (2)  Amica | | | | | | 2 | Daniel Tudhope | Charles Hills | 10-1, too green to do herself justice when well-beaten seventh on debut at Newmarket (7f, good) in July; her dam was a useful 1m2f-1m6f winner and she could leave that initial run well behind at some stage. | ||
| 2nd (4) Blessed Star | | | | | | 2 | Oisin Orr | Charlie Johnston | Beaten a neck on debut at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in July and again finished second at Lingfield (7.6f, good) last month; leading claims. | ||
4th (5)  Shining River | | | | | | 2 | Jason Hart | Kevin Thomas Coleman | Irish challenger who built upon fair debut effort (7f, good) when close third here (7f, good to firm) four weeks ago; has very much shaped as though she'll be suited by this extra furlong; on the shortlist. |
Irish raider SHINING RIVER stayed on well for a close third over 7f here four weeks ago and can get off the mark now upped to 1m. Blessed Star has been runner-up on both starts and could be the chief danger ahead of recent Beverley winner Blueandtangerine.[Ben Hutton]

10th (1)  Seal Of Solomon | | | | | | 5 | P J McDonald | Ed Dunlop | Three wins on AW and three on good to firm, the latest at Newbury (1m4f; stays 2m) last June; has struggled this season, given wind surgery before latest start; 8lb lower than reappearance. | ||
9th (8)  Lunar Jet | | | | | | 10 | Dougie Costello | Steph Hollinshead | Veteran who has won only once (April 2023) in the last four seasons and his last four wins have been on soft or heavy going; significant ability remains compared to this career-low mark but this is only his second run beyond 1m4f on the Flat. | ||
(12)  Desert Quest | | | | | | 6 | Rowan Scott | Ewan Whillans | His only win in the last two years was on AW this January but there have been plenty of minor honours this term and this step back up in trip should be fine; place claims again. | ||
11th (4)  Hardy Bloke | | | | | | 7 | Ben Robinson | Brian Ellison | Sole win for Emmet Mullins in Ireland came in a 3m novice hurdle on heavy ground in March 2023; no impact in his five races for new yard, switched to the Flat (1m4f, 1m2f and 1m3f) for the last three; over this longer trip for Flat handicap debut, he needs a market check. | ||
3rd (9)  Easy Dancer | | | | | | 3 | Joe Leavy | Richard Hannon | Improved form upped in trip after a gelding operation when off the mark in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m6f, AW) in July, always prominent; last of six when 20-1 and front-running at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) two weeks later, beaten only 7l but he now has something to prove on turf. | ||
4th (3)  Animato | | | | | | 5 | Daniel Tudhope | David O'Meara | Up and down this summer (respectable third of six last time) after he won two in a row over 2m in May; thereabouts if returning to his 2024 best. | ||
2nd (10)  Far l'Amore | | | | | | 3 | Jason Watson | Brian Meehan | AW debut (20-1) over 2m last time did not go well but he showed fair form in four of five previous races, including when staying-on fourth of six in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut at Sandown (1m6f) on penultimate outing; now swaps cheekpieces for blinkers and he's not entirely ruled out. | ||
5th (2)  Billy No Mates | | | | | | 8 | Rhys Elliott | Michael Dods | Usually seen these days on softer than good; while his recent finishing positions don't read that well, he's not been far away on three (two under Rhys Elliott) of those five outings and has dropped 6lb in the process; the striking positive is his three 1m6f wins from six races at Haydock, including winning this race in 2020. | ||
7th (6)  Gifted Angel | | | | | | 4 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | Tom Dascombe | Won three times over hurdles last year; 0-18 on the Flat but he was a close third at Chester (1m6f, good to soft) in July, in between two lesser shows over 2m; each-way chance back at this trip. | ||
8th (5)  Haarar | | | | | | 5 | David Egan | Sam England | Won twice over hurdles in May and second at Thirsk (1m6f, good to soft) that month on the Flat; well beaten at 40-1 in a recent AW run, after two months off, but could be more interesting this time. | ||
1st (11)  Knight Templar | | | | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | Robert Stephens | Front-running second in two of three handicaps for Sir Mark Prescott (flopped next time) before sold for £9,000 in July; upped to 1m4f by new trainer at Ffos Las (soft) one month ago and made the breakthrough, in last-gasp fashion which gives hope for this longer trip; up 4lb but in the mix. | ||
6th (7)  Frankelian | | | | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Ralph Beckett | 0-7 but performing consistently, the exception on heavy going as a 2yo (her only run on softer than good); needs a little extra for the breakthrough win but this longer trip looks worth a go; she also now tries headgear. |
3yo Knight Templar is of major interest having led on the line when stepped up to 1m4f on soft ground last time out, making a winning debut for his new connections. Hardy Bloke needs a check making his Flat handicap debut but there is enough evidence that BILLY NO MATES will still be able to pack a punch now that he is returned to the scene of three of his last four wins.[Richard Austen]

11th (1)  Boardman | | | | | | 8 | Duran Fentiman | Tim Easterby | Two-time course winner who went close over C&D three starts ago; not ruled out but this 8yo has a regressive profile and has finished down the field at Newcastle and Chester the last twice. | ||
8th (4)  Riot | | | | | | 7 | Daniel Tudhope | David O'Meara | Needs to bounce back from heavy defeat at Newcastle, where more than just the 1m trip was amiss; however, he's won twice over 7f this year and is handicapped to be in the mix if back on song. | ||
10th (10)  Tanmawwy | | | | | | 6 | Jason Watson | Heather Main | He's not as good as he was but he exploited a reduced mark at Epsom (7f, good) 11 days ago; may be able to build on that victory and this course winner is capable of another big run under a 5lb penalty. | ||
7th (8)  Abduction | | | | | | 6 | Shane Gray | Jim Goldie | He's had a patchy campaign and is the type who needs everything to drop right, but he was a fair third behind two 3yos at Musselburgh four weeks ago and has dropped to a dangerous mark; no surprise if he features. | ||
(12)  Thapa Vc | | | | | | 6 | Rob Hornby | Mark Rimell | Won in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in July and runner-up the next twice (including C&D); could be bang there if the ground is suitable (unraced on slow turf). | ||
9th (3)  The Turpinator | | | | | | 7 | Oliver Stammers | Grant Tuer | Won at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in June and bounced back from lesser run at Goodwood (7f) when staying on for sixth of 17 at Ripon (6f, good) three weeks ago; he's fine at 7f and holds each-way claims for his in-form yard if handling conditions (best turf form is on good/faster). | ||
6th (9)  Pumalin Park | | | | | | 4 | Tom Marquand | Sir Michael Stoute | Hasn't really kicked on from his 7f win at Salisbury in June but has posted some fair efforts; in top hands and this lightly raced 4yo may be able to take a sizeable step forward at some stage. | ||
5th (11)  Flaccianello | | | | | | 3 | David Egan | Richard Fahey | Unplaced the last twice on her first two attempts at 7f but those were on good ground and a slow surface seems preferable; stays well over 6f and things could click at 7f this afternoon if she gets favourable conditions. | ||
3rd (6)  Tropez Power | | | | | | 5 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | Won at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and continued in good form subsequently on turf/AW, until back at Southwell last time when he was hampered; just 1-21 on turf and unproven on slow ground, but he's an each-way possible. | ||
1st (2)  Persuasion | | | | | | 7 | Callum Rodriguez | David & Nicola Barron | Has a modest 3-38 strike-rate but he went close in this last year and has run well to be placed on his last three starts; can be thereabouts. | ||
2nd (5)  Yorkshire | | | | | | 4 | P J McDonald | Edward Bethell | Has made no impact the last twice but those were tough handicaps and he suffered a troubled passage in the Bunbury Cup two starts ago; this lightly raced 4yo was progressive earlier in the season and is not written off. | ||
4th (7)  Mezzo Soprano | | | | | | 4 | Oisin Orr | Simon & Ed Crisford | Won first three starts last season (including on good/soft) and reappeared with close second at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) in June; only fifth at Windsor (6f, good) since but received an early bump and shaped as though this return to 7f would be ideal; retains potential; could have a big say. |
The blinkers have worked well for THAPA VC and he is taken to add to his win at Doncaster in July. Tanmawwy capitalised on a reduced mark at Epsom recently and is feared most under a 5lb penalty, while last year's runner-up Persuasion can run another good race and Mezzo Soprano retains potential now back up in trip.[Ben Hutton]

9th (7)  Ribble Radiant | | | | | | 3 | Duran Fentiman | Tim Easterby | Won on 2yo debut at Beverley last June and took step back in right direction when sixth in Doncaster handicap (1m) three weeks ago; however, she needs to build on that performance if she's to threaten today. | ||
3rd (8)  Clasina | | | | | | 3 | P J McDonald | Katie Scott | Lightly raced 3yo who has a useful pedigree and makes her first handicap start, but she didn't show enough on last month's stable debut at Southwell (7f, AW) to have compelling claims today. | ||
12th (11)  Oscar's Sister | | | | | | 4 | Tom Eaves | Julie Camacho | Hard to fancy judged on the majority of her form in the last two years, and down the field at Wolverhampton last time; however, she won a C&D nursery in 2022 and was an encouraging fourth over C&D two starts ago; not a forlorn hope now back at Haydock. | ||
4th (1)  Sparkling Red | | | | | | 4 | David Nolan | Michael Dods | Two-time 5f winner who continues to drop down the weights and has shown the odd sign of spark this season; however, it's been a disappointing campaign overall and she's going into the unknown now tackling 7f. | ||
10th (4)  Rapido Girl | | | | | | 3 | William Pyle | Craig Lidster | Won 7f maiden at Catterick in June on fourth start then fifth in blanket finish on handicap debut at Doncaster (7f); well beaten at Musselburgh subsequently but retains potential in view of that penultimate effort. | ||
6th (6)  Gentle Ellen | | | | | | 5 | Callum Rodriguez | David & Nicola Barron | Below par the last twice but those were over 6f, and fast ground may not have suited last time; ran well in defeat twice in a row over today's C&D (good) in July and could bounce back to form now back up in trip. | ||
1st (9)  Kindest Nation | | | | | | 3 | Joe Leavy | Hugo Palmer | 0-6 in handicaps and she's not progressing, but she's run okay in cheekpieces the last twice and continues to edge down the weights; a first-time visor goes on today and she's not discounted. | ||
5th (10)  Noisy Music | | | | | | 3 | Jason Watson | Michael Appleby | Won on stable debut at Windsor in June and she's run a couple of fair races over the same 6f trip since; stamina to prove on first attempt at 7f but her pedigree provides optimism she'll stay; contender if seeing it out. | ||
11th (5)  Alreet Cha | | | | | | 3 | David Egan | Craig Lidster | Better could have been expected at Pontefract last time and she's now 0-11, but two starts ago she was a creditable fourth at York (7f) on her first run since wind surgery and is not written off. | ||
7th (3)  Dazitoo | | | | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | Ed Walker | Yet to build upon June's debut fifth over C&D (good) but this 3yo makes her handicap debut off a realistic mark and with her trainer in fine form; her dam was useful and it will be no surprise if she plays a leading role. | ||
8th (2)  No Nay Nicki | | | | | | 5 | Oisin Orr | Richard Fahey | She's 8lb lower than for her last win last September and there's been the odd fair run this season, but she's regressed and was well beaten at Pontefract last month; something to prove. | ||
2nd (12)  Kristal Klear | | | | | | 4 | Jason Hart | Stella Barclay | Off the mark at the 15th attempt in apprentice handicap at Southwell (7f, AW) last Friday; also effective on turf; she's inconsistent and not guaranteed to back up that latest performance, but she escapes a penalty and will be tough to beat if again on a going day. |
Kristal Klear escapes a penalty for last Friday's apprentice handicap win at Southwell and holds obvious claims if repeating the form, but that's not guaranteed and preference is for the 3yo handicap newcomer DAZITOO, who represents the bang-in-form Ed Walker. Noisy Music can go well if seeing out the new trip.[Ben Hutton]
