1st (8) (10/3 -11%)Cloudy Rose |
10/3(-11%) | (8) Cloudy Rose 10/3, Back to best, but favoured by winning distance as second eased landing a handicap by 8l off 49 over 12f at Brighton last time; best form at Brighton; chance Bolted up at Brighton last time and won't mind the step up to this trip; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (25/1 -317%)Khangai |
25/1(-317%) | (7) Khangai 25/1, Best effort for some time landing a handicap by a head off 55 over 12f at Leicester last time; effective 10-14f, probably acts on any, not that resolute; may have to settle for a place Beat a subsequent winner at Leicester last time; seems to stay and is a player up 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 -14%)Buxted Reel |
4/1(-14%) | (2) Buxted Reel 4/1, Ran to form, did too much too soon, did much the best of those forcing strong pace beaten 1/2l off 92 over 2m at Worcester last time; winner when last seen on flat; in the mix Not run on the Flat this year but performing respectably over hurdles; top amateur booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/1 +60%)Liberated Lad |
4/1(+60%) | (1) Liberated Lad 4/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 64 over 10f at Newbury last time; placed over 1m6f prior at Wolverhampton; best form AW; remains a threat Multiple winner whose last run worked out well and won't mind the step back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (40/1 -100%)Arch Legend |
40/1(-100%) | (9) Arch Legend 40/1, Beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap over 12f at Beverley last time; out of form last couple, failing to beat a rival; risky, but down to a tempting mark Dual winner for Charlie Johnston but not won for over a year and others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (15/2 -25%)One Million Dreams |
15/2(-25%) | (3) One Million Dreams 15/2, Ran to best and not all out landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 59 over 1m5f at Lingfield last time; stays 13f, upped in trip again; acts on fast ground and AW, steadily progressive on the Flat, bit to come; player Beat a previous winner when registering a first success last time; can't rule out up 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (13/2 +13%)French Martini |
13/2(+13%) | (5) French Martini 13/2, Below par fourth beaten 14l in a handicap over 12f at Brighton latest; in good form prior; risky, but could contend 2m1f soft-ground winner; below best at Brighton last time and needs to raise game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (4/1 +43%)Throne Hall |
4/1(+43%) | (4) Throne Hall 4/1, Eased a couple of lengths and ran to form second beaten 8l in a handicap over 12f at Brighton latest; winner over 2m in April at Musselburgh; respected Return to this trip should suit but more needed to reverse latest form with Cloudy Lane. |

Four of CLOUDY ROSE's career victories have come at Brighton but the latest of those was most impressive. John Berry's mare pulled eight lengths clear of Throne Hall (second) and it's difficult to envisage that form being reversed with only a 6lb swing at the weights. Buxted Reel could offer more of a threat back on the level with leading amateur Simon Walker booked to ride, while lightly-raced Lingfield scorer One Million Dreams is noted too.

This could go to LIBERATED LAD, who ran well in a race that threw up winners last time and he won't mind the return to this trip.

1st (4) (11/8 +45%)Scandinavia |
11/8(+45%) | (4) Scandinavia 11/8, Ideally suited by trip beaten 2l in Queen's Vase (Group 2) over 1m6f at Ascot last time where did plenty early; cheekpieces first time; threat but bit to find with Furthur on Royal Ascot meeting Good fifth in the Queen's Vase despite wide trip and hitting a flat spot; commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 +45%)Nightime Dancer |
11/4(+45%) | (3) Nightime Dancer 11/4, Couldn't go early pace, but improved for 12f picking up places as others faded well beaten in Derby (Group 1) over 12f at Epsom latest; in good form prior; 14f may suit ideally, Leger prospect; big player Made late headway in the Derby; possibilities with this longer distance worth exploring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (20/1 -300%)Hallelujah U |
20/1(-300%) | (2) Hallelujah U 20/1, Ideally suited by trip beaten 2 1/4l in Queen's Vase (Group 2) over 1m6f at Ascot last time; bit to find with Furthur and Scandinavia on that; previous handicap form franked; more needed Wore cheekpieces the last twice, winning at Thirsk then good sixth in the Queen's Vase. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (8/1 +0%)Titanium Emperor |
8/1(+0%) | (5) Titanium Emperor 8/1, Improved effort beaten 4l in Queen's Vase (Group 2) over 1m6f at Ascot last time; steadily progressive; yet to add to debut victory; vulnerable in this grade Needs some improvement, having finished behind three of today's rivals at Royal Ascot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/2 -75%)Furthur |
7/2(-75%) | (1) Furthur 7/2, Ideally suited by trip second beaten 3/4l in Queen's Vase (Group 2) over 1m6f at Ascot latest; finished ahead of a number of these that day; trainer in form; sets form standard; ought to go close Good second, with a few of today's opponents behind him, in the Queen's Vase; progressive. |

It is difficult to look past FURTHUR, who showed marked improvement from his effort in the Chester Vase to finish an excellent second in the Queen's Vase. Dropping back a furlong in trip should not inconvenience the son of Waldgeist and he can uphold form with Scandinavia (fifth), who didn't have the best of runs at Royal Ascot before rallying late in the piece. Both he and Hallelujah U, who was less than a length behind in sixth, have the potential to become St Leger types, while Nightime Dancer will find this considerably easier than the Derby, in which he finished eighth.

With headgear fitted, SCANDINAVIA could well show further progress and reverse Royal Ascot placings with Furthur.

HEY TRU BLUE (second) and Wyle Cop (fourth) met on their debuts at Leicester before contesting the Norfolk and Windsor Castle respectively at Royal Ascot. Both undoubtedly have less on their plate here and it is the former who can come out on top. The market ought to guide regarding some of the more interesting newcomers, including Bird Of War, Naawi and Starryfield. All three need to be taken seriously.

Hey Tru Blue and WYLE COP are back in calmer waters. The selection can reverse their Leicester debut placings.

20/1(-43%) | (4) Annie Edson Taylor 20/1, Beaten 5l in a handicap over 5f at Newcastle last time where found 5f too sharp; trainer in form; return to easy ground may help; bit to prove Struggled since joining this trainer, failing to beat a rival in her last two starts (5f).. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (5/1 +38%)Dream Deal |
5/1(+38%) | (9) Dream Deal 5/1, Beaten 3 1/4l off 57 at Catterick last time; top course trainer; back below last winning mark; outside chance 1-24; no issue with this track (form figures 224) but needs everything to click.. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (12/1 -20%)Larchill Lass |
12/1(-20%) | (10) Larchill Lass 12/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark beaten 6l in a handicap over 5f at Thirsk last time; form going the wrong way; others preferred 0-13 since winning a 5f maiden here in May 2024; freefalling mark isn't enough to tempt.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (33/1 -230%)Blue Seeker |
33/1(-230%) | (8) Blue Seeker 33/1, Going probably on fast side beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap over 7f at Doncaster last time; usually consistent; top course jockey; interesting at a price back on easy ground 1-12; yet to find his feet for this trainer (0-2); easing mark with Paul Mulrennan booked.. |

MISTER SKY BLUE wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D on his latest start and the application of cheekpieces for the first time may give him a vital edge in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Havana Rum's recent efforts earn him a place on the shortlist, while Belsito, who finished behind Richard Fahey's gelding at Hamilton, completes the shortlist.

BELSITO appears to be working back to form and, with C&D form figures of 214, could be poised to strike. Havana Rum is a threat.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (8/1 -60%)Do Or Do Not |
8/1(-60%) | (3) Do Or Do Not 8/1, Every chance, improved up in class second beaten 3l in Coventry Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot latest; didn't look strongest renewal of that race; still a maiden; steadily progressive; in the mix The only maiden in this field but has possibilities if his Coventry effort is backed up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/2 +45%)Jel Pepper |
11/2(+45%) | (4) Jel Pepper 11/2, Well backed when 3 1/2l winner in a novice at Goodwood on debut; that form franked; squeak but needs to prove effectiveness on fast ground Recorded a useful RPR in Goodwood contest and looks potentially Group class; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/4 +10%)Brussels |
9/4(+10%) | (1) Brussels 9/4, Yard won this last year; 3/4l winner in a maiden at The Curragh on debut; beat a couple of next time out winners that day; contender Successful in Curragh maiden that his trainer has won with some smart sorts; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (6/4 +8%)Maximized |
6/4(+8%) | (5) Maximized 6/4, Well backed when winning Woodcote at Epsom by 1 1/2l last time; runner up won Windsor Castle next time; versatile ground wise; top course jockey/trainer combination; leading contender Two from two; the form of his Woodcote win received a boost at Royal Ascot; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 -33%)Comical Point |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Comical Point 12/1, Had benefited for debut experience beaten 4l in Norfolk Stakes (Group 2) over 5f at Ascot last time; that strong form; handles fast ground; danger if stamina holds up The way he shaped in the Norfolk last time suggests this extra furlong will suit. |

Saved for this since landing the Woodcote in taking fashion from subsequent Windsor Castle winner Havana Hurricane, MAXIMIZED looks well up to the rise in grade and he can land a first July Stakes for the in-form Charlie Appleby. The all-conquering Ballydoyle team have been dominant in two-year-old races on both sides of the Irish Sea this season and Brussels deserves the utmost respect, despite his inexperience, having scored comfortably on debut at the Curragh. Do Or Do Not's second in the Coventry is arguably the strongest form on offer, but Ed Walker's colt remains a maiden and may need a tad more to trouble the principals.

Ballydoyle colt BRUSSELS looks likely to take a big step forward from his Curragh success. Do Or Do Not is second pick.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/8 +0%)Bint Mohaather |
11/8(+0%) | (2) Bint Mohaather 11/8, Well backed when winning a maiden at Wolverhampton over 7f by 4 1/2l last time; down in trip; should be thereabouts Stepped on debut form when winning on AW on reappearance; claims on first turf start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (200/1 -100%)Nimble Nasher |
200/1(-100%) | (7) Nimble Nasher 200/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; returning from long layoff; all to do Soundly beaten both starts last year and easy enough to overlook on reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (28/1 +15%)Queensmaite |
28/1(+15%) | (9) Queensmaite 28/1, Below par down the field in a maiden over 7f here most recent; off a short-break; lot to find Creditable effort on AW on debut but below that level on first turf run; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (20/1 +0%)Lindoro |
20/1(+0%) | (5) Lindoro 20/1, Gelding by top-class sprinter Washington Dc; dam very smart sprinter Rosina; probably effective 6f; market can guide First foal of a multiple winner; jockey booking takes the eye and worth a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (125/1 -150%)Tiger Tower |
125/1(-150%) | (8) Tiger Tower 125/1, Did not get a clear run well beaten in a novice over 7f at Newcastle only start; down in trip; should improve, but needs to Big price and didn't show enough on debut to suggest he's of much interest this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (33/1 -83%)Pebble Dash |
33/1(-83%) | (4) Pebble Dash 33/1, Had benefited for debut experience fourth beaten 7l in a maiden at Wolverhampton latest; trainer in form; improved effort over 6f last time; could contend Bettered debut effort switched to AW last time; another big step forward needed, though. |

BINT MOHAATHER opened her account in fine style at Wolverhampton recently. Jack Channon's filly must shoulder a penalty on her turf debut but improvement is likely and this isn't the strongest of contests. Magic Boy belied odds of 40-1 when a creditable second at Ripon last month and he would appear to be the main danger, although the combination of wind surgery and a drop in class could spark an improved performance from Mystical Storm.

Although down in trip for this turf debut, this can go to BINT MOHAATHER, who showed plenty of speed to win at Wolverhampton

Lorna B gained a second career success on her handicap bow at Thirsk and she is expected to be competitive once again, despite a 6lb rise. Thecla's form on turf offers plenty of promise and a mark of 73 seems more than fair, but the vote goes to BRECKENBROUGH. Despite tasting defeat when sent off an odds-on favourite at Chester, the drop in trip appears to be the right move for her to progress.

Breckenbrough is interesting but MINNIE WILDES shaped encouragingly here over 5f last time and should appreciate returning to 6f.

16th (17) (40/1 -43%)Azure Zain |

17th (6) (50/1 +0%)Candy |
50/1(+0%) | (6) Candy 50/1, Below par beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 5f at Ascot last time; generally out of form; drawn on wing of large field; best form on easier ground; opposed Yet to shine this year and handicapped on a win in a substandard Listed event last autumn. |

A tentative vote goes to TAWASOL, who arrives here on a hat-trick after scoring impressively on his handicap debut at Doncaster in May. An 11lb rise looks manageable and the son of Havana Grey is narrowly preferred to the progressive Double Rush, who seemed to be caught on the wrong side of the track at York, when just under three lengths behind the winner Hucklesbrook, with whom he is 8lb better off. A taking winner on the Rowley Mile last time out, Invictus Gold is expected to be thereabouts, as are Windsor scorer Arabian Sun and the consistent Prince Of India.

An absorbing race in which flashy grey TAWASOL (nap) can complete a hat-trick. Double Rush is next best but several can be fancied.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (15/2 -25%)Fort Campbell |
15/2(-25%) | (8) Fort Campbell 15/2, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off 81 over 8f at Southwell last time; winner at Kempton over 7f prior; in the mix on turf debut Steadily progressive sort; down in trip for turf debut but should give a good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (28/1 -180%)The Sweet Escape |
28/1(-180%) | (12) The Sweet Escape 28/1, Ideally suited by trip beaten 4l in a maiden over 6f at Catterick last time; up in trip; can make presence felt on handicap debut Has shown ability in novice/maiden company but needs to improve to win this. |

Runner-up on each of his last three starts, including when narrowly denied at Musselburgh last time out, VINCE LE PRINCE deserves a chance in luck and he can get that on this occasion. A respectable third over further at Southwell last time out, the unexposed Fort Campbell is a key player, as well as Orangesandlemons, who has finished second on both turf starts this season at Carlisle. Riot and Ultramarine cannot be ruled out either.

In an open event it's worth taking an each-way chance with AL MUQDAD, who has been disappointing this year but he's down to a good mark

9th (8) (14/1 +0%)Mystical Queen |
14/1(+0%) | (8) Mystical Queen 14/1, Appeared not to stay well beaten in a handicap over 12f at Southwell latest; blinkers first time; not out of it but stamina concerns once again Creditable third at Wolverhampton on stable/seasonal debut but tailed off since. |

10th (11) (125/1 -150%)Lasswade |

Jedhi Knight took a step in the right direction when third on his first attempt in handicap company at Redcar and he's noted. Cangofar is likely to be competitive based on his recent displays at Beverley and Pontefract, but NIVELLE'S MAGIC appears to have them all covered. 2lb well-in under a 5lb penalty for her Ffos Las success last week, the six-year-old is expected to be a tough nut to crack.

There are some interesting 3yos but it's hard to get away from the penalised NIVELLE'S MAGIC (nap), who won by 4l at Ffos Las recently.

GHOSTWRITER looks the one to beat now returning to the scene of his emphatic maiden success in August 2023. Clive Cox's colt has been a regular in top-level events since and has yet to run a bad race. There was much to like about his first attempt over 1m4f in the Hardwicke and he is fancied to confirm that form with Palladium, who produced a career-best performance at Royal Ascot and it's a positive that Ryan Moore keeps the partnership intact. Wimbledon Hawkeye is an interesting player receiving the weight-for-age allowance.

A chance is taken that a gelding operation helps ARABIAN CROWN rediscover the promise shown last spring. Ghostwriter is the danger.

A major improver from first to second start when narrowly seeing off subsequent Jersey Stakes runner-up Spy Chief at Kempton in May, KHAFIZ looks well capable of following up under a penalty. That may be at the main expense of Patricia R, who got up late to score on debut at Thirsk for in-form connections. Bintofie and Breakdancer are open to improvement as well.

There are a couple of interesting newcomers but they'll have to be almost smart to get the better of May's AW winner KHAFIZ

10/3(-11%) | (2) Aspiral 10/3, Yard won this last year; slowly away runner-up beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden over 5f at Hamilton only start; step up in trip should suit; the one to beat on form Ran on well after being outpaced on debut at Hamilton (5f); should appreciate this trip. |

4th (3) (33/1 -65%)Fairydale |
33/1(-65%) | (3) Fairydale 33/1, 20 Jan; 3,500gns Waldgeist filly; half-sister to Lady Of Anjou, fair at 7f; top course trainer; yard's horses tend to need more time 3,500gns foal; half-sister to Czech/Slovakian 7f winner Materana; market may guide. |

6th (6) (66/1 -100%)Indigo Sierra |
66/1(-100%) | (6) Indigo Sierra 66/1, Comfortably held in a maiden at Wetherby last time; plenty more needed and looks one for low grade handicaps after this Has shown ability in her two starts but she may be one for handicaps after one more outing. |

Karl Burke seemingly holds all the aces in this maiden courtesy of newcomer Special Thanks and Hamilton second ASPIRAL. Green leaving the stalls before making up ground at the business end, preference is for experience and the latter edges it. Any money for Special Thanks would be interesting, though, especially given she's the mount of Clifford Lee. If I Could Dream is another expected to go well.

Karl Burke's SPECIAL THANKS is out of a Group 3 winner and she can make a winning debut. Stablemate Aspiral is second choice.

6/1(-140%) | (2) Country Artiste 6/1, Yard won this last year; had benefited for debut experience second beaten a length in a novice at Newbury latest; contender Good 2nd at Newbury 16 days ago; sets standard and has more to come; yard won this in 2024. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (15/2 +73%)Lady Lucky Vegas |
15/2(+73%) | (6) Lady Lucky Vegas 15/2, 14 Mar; 19,000gns breeze-up purchase by Lucky Vega; half-sister to Son Of Corballis, smart at 5f; yard in good form 19,000gns breeze-up 2yo; half-sister to two winners; yard enjoying 2yo success this year. |

George Boughey and Ryan Moore teamed up with an impressive two-year-old winner at Yarmouth last week and NIGHT SHINING could strike for the same partnership here. Her full-sister Dark Liberty won a 7f Listed event in Germany as a juvenile and this 475,000gns purchase is expected to be well above average. Enamorus and Princess Billyboy are also of interest first time out, but the biggest challenge could come from Country Artiste, who left her debut performance well behind when a length second over this trip at Newbury.

Crimson Rose can build on her debut run but COUNTRY ARTISTE is preferred after her good second at Newbury.

9/1(-29%) | (8) Divine Legacy 9/1, Yard won this last year; beaten 8l in a handicap at Chester last time; in good form prior; place claims if bouncing back to previous form, but latest effort a worry Ran well on stable/seasonal debut; below par last time but may do better still. |

10/1(-82%) | (4) Lone Piper 10/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 76 over 12f at Thirsk last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; threat back down in trip Interesting switched to new headgear, having gained sole win in first-time blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (9/4 +10%)Raedwald |
9/4(+10%) | (6) Raedwald 9/4, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap by a nose off 72 at Lingfield last time; 6lb rise may not be enough to stop Dead-heated at Lingfield (AW) last month on handicap debut; could well improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (33/1 -65%)Emery Down |
33/1(-65%) | (10) Emery Down 33/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 8l in a handicap over 8f at Newbury last time; usually held up; bit to prove Best form when winning 7f maiden in sole AW start; enough to prove. |

RAEDWALD dead-heated for the win on handicap debut at Lingfield last month and this represents an ideal opportunity off 6lb higher to gain a clear success, with Alec Voikhansky taking off a valuable 3lb in the plate. Salamanca City has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of her penultimate success at Haydock, while Lone Piper is another capable sort to note.

With further progress plausible, RAEDWALD is preferred. Lone Piper, who looks interesting in new headgear, is second choice.

EMPIRE POWER is in against the boys here, but she wasn't beaten far behind a potentially nice type of William Haggas' at Pontefract recently and it might be worth giving her one more chance. Comanche Warrior was a beaten favourite at Beverley, but performed well enough here on debut to suggest he could quite easily better that display on the Westwood. Of the Richard Fahey pair, he is just preferred to College Fund.

College Fund is second choice but EMPIRE POWER has posted two good efforts for this yard and she's taken to get off the mark.

OPERA BALLO was a shade disappointing in the Craven, but he bounced back to form in no uncertain terms when landing the Heron Stakes at Sandown. The progressive Ghaiyyath colt could have plenty more in the locker and is taken to provide Charlie Appleby with a first win in the contest since Al Suhail in 2020. King Of Cities wasn't beaten far into ninth in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly and must be respected in these calmer waters, while Arabian Story takes a step up in class having landed the Britannia last month.

Very promising ELARAK is first choice ahead of Seagulls Eleven. Opera Ballo and King Of Cities warrant respect.

A chance is taken on SCATTER PENNY, who drops into class 5 company for the first time since making a winning racecourse debut 13 months ago and she has fallen to an attractive mark. The three-year-old was only beaten two and a quarter lengths into fifth at Redcar last time, suggesting she's coming back to form. Fortunate Star ran away with an apprentice handicap under this jockey at Haydock last week and must enter calculations lining up off the same mark, while Winged Messenger, Level Up and Sergeant Mayer are others to consider.

This can go to FORTUNATE STAR, who won well in a first-time tongue-tie at Haydock a week ago and is 6lb well in

8th (6) (300/1 -50%)Star Of Tara |
300/1(-50%) | (6) Star Of Tara 300/1, Poorly drawn well beaten in a maiden here only start where missed the break; all to do Slowly away and trailed throughout on C&D debut last month when a 150-1 shot; best watched. |

Aidan O'Brien's AMELIA EARHART is bred to appreciate further being by Camelot out of a mare who won at Group 3 level over 1m4f, but could be good enough to take this on debut. She holds an entry in the Group 1 Moyglare Stakes at the Curragh. There are another couple of Moyglare entrants in newcomers Thenandnow and Tahcawin, who add plenty of spice to the mix. Phenomenal Filly was easy to back on her first start at the Curragh, but kept on in fifth and is noted.

Ballydoyle debutante AMELIA EARHART is preferred to recent C&D fifth Phenomenal Filly

A tricky handicap finale for punters to solve and just a tentative vote is for JKR COBBLER. Progressive on the all-weather towards the back end of 2024 and a winner over C&D in May of that year, the six-year-old must have a decent shout providing he can cope with the quick turnaround following Monday's close-up second at Ayr. Keep an eye on Highfield Viking, Mayberry Moon and Keep Warm too.

Jkr Cobbler (second) & Keep Warm (fourth) demonstrated their wellbeing at Ayr on Monday but HIGHFIELD VIKING receives the vote.

11th (4) (16/1 +27%)Son |

Great Acclaim went agonisingly close over 7f here a fortnight ago and he merits the utmost respect back at a mile, as does Where's Freddy, who came from well off the pace to score over C&D. That said, a chance can be taken on PAROLE D'ORO. A shade unfortunate not to have finished closer than eighth in the Britannia last time out, Michael Bell's colt competes from an unchanged mark and ought to go close. Boyfriend was beaten a head by subsequent Royal Hunt Cup winner My Cloud at Newbury before going on to score at Nottingham and is another to consider.

Parole d'Oro is feared but preference is for the unexposed 4yo BOYFRIEND, who has shown strong form since returning from an absence.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (125/1 -279%)Cape Toronada |
125/1(-279%) | (3) Cape Toronada 125/1, 28 Apr; fifth foal; Toronado filly; half-sister to Make It Simple, moderate at 8f; big ask on debut, market can guide Bred to need further and stable has poor strike-rate with 2yos. |

MAYAADA was far too green to do herself justice on her debut at Bath. Perhaps unsurprisingly, though, she took a big step forward to finish third when well fancied at Chepstow next time and any further progress might be enough for the Phoenix Of Spain filly. Timeforshowcasing overturned an odds-on favourite to make a winning debut at Chelmsford and remains of interest despite the 7lb penalty. Paul and Oliver Cole have a 50-percent strike-rate (2-4) with their youngsters this season, so Shotgun is well worth monitoring in the betting.

Interesting newcomer OH SO PERFECT is first choice ahead of Mayaada who holds solid claims.

14/1(-56%) | (4) Onslow Gardens 14/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off 67 at Chepstow last time; 14-raced maiden; risky, but could contend Longstanding maiden but made a solid start for new yard at Chepstow last month; e-w shout. |

BEAMING LIGHT can take this rise in class in his stride. He impressively rattled off three 1m victories during the month of June and certainly won well enough at Ffos Las last time to suggest that a 5lb penalty should be no problem. Baloo's Blues was keeping on nicely over 7f at Salisbury last month and he will likely improve for this longer trip, while Rwenearlytheredad can be excused a slightly underwhelming performance at Chester.

Eeetee can feature again but BEAMING LIGHT (nap) is thriving and can complete his four-timer.

BONUS TIME makes her first start for Paddy Twomey and brings strong form to the contest. Gavin Cromwell trained her to a runner-up berth on debut at Cork behind a horse who was subsequently fifth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. She then progressed to comfortably land a maiden at the Curragh. This step up in trip shouldn't inconvenience her. Andy Oliver's Sounds Like A Plan tries a new trip and is respected. Shelbiana dips her toes into handicap company for the first time and the form of her close second at Dundalk last October has been boosted.

Top-weight Bonus Time is respected on handicap debut but preference is for AVIATRICE (nap) back at 7f here

20/1(+29%) | (7) Vulcan Way 20/1, Zero wins in four runs; appeared not to stay when beaten by 10 lengths in a handicap over 10 furlongs at Goodwood last time; second run since the gelding operation; second run in a handicap; probably best watched here however Didn't enjoy a clear run when held at Goodwood last month, but will still need to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (8/1 -60%)Stormy Monday |
8/1(-60%) | (4) Stormy Monday 8/1, One win in seven starts; below par when beaten by 10 lengths in a handicap at Newbury last time out; form has been a little in and out since his only victory; 6lb's higher than winning mark; could bounce back here Inconsistent since returning in April; not sure what to expect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (9/2 +0%)Only One Blue |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Only One Blue 9/2, Thrice raced maiden; ideally suited by the trip when coming second and beaten by 2 lengths in a maiden over 10 furlongs at Salisbury last time out; handicap debut; contender here Has shown promise in all three starts; this longer trip should suit on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (7/1 +7%)Nobleman |
7/1(+7%) | (2) Nobleman 7/1, One win in six career starts; ran to form when beaten by 2 lengths off the mark of 74 at Newmarket (July) last time out; top course trainer; runs off the same mark as when he won; needs to bounce back here however Undone by a lack of pace in both handicaps; wouldn't be sure this will be run to suit him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (33/1 -136%)Team Player |
33/1(-136%) | (6) Team Player 33/1, Thrice raced maiden; slowly away when coming fourth and beaten by 7 lengths in a maiden over 10 furlongs at Salisbury latest; up in trip; handicap debut; yard going well; might need a career best here however 5l behind Only One Blue at Salisbury last time and 10lb better off; each-way claims. |

Love You Back again failed to justify market support at Lingfield last time and while he will surely pop up sooner or later, a chance is taken that ONLY ONE BLUE's initial rating is workable. Richard Hannon's filly got closest to an odds-on favourite over 1m2f at Salisbury and, on the dam's side at least, she is bred to improve as she rises in trip. Bosphorus Rose could also appreciate this stiffer test of stamina following a decent handicap debut at Ripon. Nobleman has already proven he stays this far, though, and might be the chief threat.

This may be a good opportunity for ONLY ONE BLUE to make a successful handicap debut with the longer trip looking a major positive.

Preference is for JOWALLA, who made a pleasing introduction when third over C&D last month. Tom Dascombe's filly did extremely well in the circumstances given that she was repeatedly short of room from the three furlong pole, and compensation could await. Jonathan Portman's Nottingham scorer Brisk Symphony enters calculations for all that more will be needed to defy a penalty, while it would come as no great surprise were Mohaather filly Uncertainty to have a say given her relation to a couple of useful winners.

Tom Dascombe's JOWALLA defied her huge odds with a highly promising debut effort here 16 days ago.

VERA'S SECRET is two from two at Leopardstown and sets the standard with a rating of 105. She has been freshened up since finishing fourth in a Group 2 at the Curragh in May. On her penultimate start, she sailed in by four lengths in a Group 3. Duckadilly is markedly up in class, but is going the right way after winning her first two races. Bellaphina travelled well on her way to victory in a valuable handicap at the Curragh last month, while Chantez is another to consider.

Despite the penalty, VERA'S SECRET could take plenty of catching and is narrowly preferred to the potentially smart Duckadilly

250/1(-400%) | (7) Amalfi Bluebell 250/1, Slowly away and well beaten when coming last of ten in a maiden over 6 furlongs at Kempton on only start; given that effort she has it all to do on her second start here Massive price and finished a tailed-off last of ten on Kempton debut (6f, AW) last month. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (11/2 -38%)Alex Supreme |
11/2(-38%) | (6) Alex Supreme 11/2, Twice raced maiden; had benefited for the debut experience when coming a 2 and a 1/2 length third in a maiden over 6 furlongs at Hamilton on most recent run; third of six on debut at Ripon in May; threat here Promising third at Hamilton and she's open to more progress upped in trip; in the mix. |

MYSTIC MOMENT has had the misfortune of finding only one too strong on each of her three appearances so far and it could pay to give her one more chance. The daughter of Time Test didn't get the smoothest of passages when upped to this distance at Newbury, but she at least proved her stamina with her staying-on second. Alex Supreme has shaped in two third-placed efforts over 6f that she needs this distance at least. Sweet Love is perhaps the most interesting of the newcomers.

This can go to MYSTIC MOMENT who has finished second in all of her three runs and sets a clear standard on her latest Doncaster form.

A host of in-form sprinters head to post in what looks a competitive heat, and only a tentative vote can go to THE BITTER MOOSE. Patrick Chamings' gelding has yet to score on the turf but he kept on well to fill the runner-up spot behind a well handicapped rival over track and trip last month. From an unchanged mark, he could go one place better. Rage Of Thunder won going away at Salisbury latest and may well be capable from 8lb higher, while others to note include Sisters In The Sky, Monsieur Patat and Thunderous Love.

This is wide open but RAGE OF THUNDER could have the most upside of the several runners here arriving in good form.

13/2(+7%) | (3) Finsceal Annie 13/2, Travelled well when landing a handicap by a head off 70 over 7f here last time; top jockey back on board; probably bit to come and respected in hat trick bid Hat-trick seeker up 15lb so more needed returned to 1m; wide draw not ideal. |

PIER PRESSURE is one of three Ger Lyons representatives and has struck up a decent association with Nicola Burns. The pair were a never-nearer sixth on their last visit here and then kept on well for second at Down Royal which indicated that another win may not be far away. Tachos ran on to win over 1m1f here on her penultimate start and it may be best to put a line through her latest effort on soft ground. Finsceal Annie is in great form and also makes the shortlist.

Wide open, with a tentative selection being CORDOUAN, back at a mile and on better ground

FINBAR'S LAD had been building up to a big performance and produced it to reward favourite-backers at Chelmsford. Just as effective on turf - if not more so - the Quinns' gelding is taken to defy his penalty. John Quinn saddled the winner of this in 2019, with Jim Boyle sending out the next two, and it could be the local trainer who provides the biggest obstacle this time in the shape of Lingfield scorer Daisy Roots. G'daay was less than two lengths behind the selection last week and is a C&D winner, as is Redredrobin, who claimed this prize two years ago.

The vote goes to DAISY ROOTS, who justified favouritism at Lingfield last time and represents a yard that won this in 2021 and 2022.

12th (5) (125/1 -150%)Clipstone |
125/1(-150%) | (5) Clipstone 125/1, 3 Mar; 32,000gns Ardad colt; half-brother to Witness Stand, high-class at 7f; wide draw; tough task on debut, market can offer clues 32,000gns yearling; eighth foal; half-brother to four winners, one very useful. |

SHAMAN CHAMPION might just be able to give weight and a beating to these rivals. Although that's no easy feat, especially for these youngsters, the Shaman colt made a big impression when successful on debut and he certainly wasn't disgraced when beaten four and three-quarter lengths in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last month. Comic Hero left his debut performance well behind when a close-up third at Salisbury and any further improvement should put him in the mix, while Astrazar also merits a place on the shortlist.

The penalised SHAMAN CHAMPION showed a lot of speed when running well deep into the Windsor Castle but he should stay this far.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (8/1 -14%)Himalayan Heights |
8/1(-14%) | (3) Himalayan Heights 8/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 4l off 93 over 10f at The Curragh last time; top course jockey; not fully exposed; needs stiff test but could run into a place Easy winner at this track recently; didn't back that up last time; still of interest. |

Unlucky in running when second at the Curragh on Derby weekend, LOVE BILLY BOY can gain compensation. Stepping up to a mile for only the second time in his career, the Gerard O'Leary-trained gelding finished strongly having been denied a clear run. Although now racing over an additional furlong, the four-year-old gives the impression that he should be capable of staying the trip, especially on a turning track such as this. State Actor, who finished a place behind the selection in that aforementioned race, also has leading claims. Another who suffered an interrupted passage, the five-year-old is back on a competitive mark. Slieve Binnian, winner of that Curragh race, should again hold every chance.

A top quality handicap with most of them in with a viable chance. LOVE BILLY BOY didn't get a clear run last time and he appeals most

7th (2) (16/1 +27%)Lerwick |
16/1(+27%) | (2) Lerwick 16/1, Two-time winner; raced a bit too freely when beaten by 7 lengths in a handicap over 8 furlongs at Doncaster last time out; in poor form for new yard; on the same mark as when he last won; bit to find here given his current form On dangerous mark but has something to prove and he's untried as a sprinter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (16/1 -33%)Danger Alert |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Danger Alert 16/1, Well backed when beaten by 3 lengths off the mark of 74 at Lingfield last time out; not won since May 2023; 16lb's lower than last winning mark; seems to be regressing therefore best watched here Last win was in 2023 and no impact in three runs this season; visor back on. |

SPANISH STAR rolled back the years when scoring at Newbury on his latest start and the course winner makes plenty of appeal in his attempt to back that performance up. Kisskodi arrives seeking a hat-trick having been awarded a race at Leicester to supplement a Brighton triumph. He commands a fair amount of respect, along with the unexposed Shiplake and the consistent Scarboroughwarning.

Several have possibilities but the progressive KISSKODI (nap) gets the vote ahead of the very lightly raced 3yo Shiplake.

8th (1) (33/1 -50%)Arkendale |
33/1(-50%) | (1) Arkendale 33/1, Comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m at Ludlow last time; in good form on Flat when last seen in September; fast ground a worry, likes cut; well-weighted but probably needs rain Three tailed-off runs over hurdles cast some doubts on the current wellbeing front. |

ABUNDANCE has an attractive, progressive profile and did well to overcome a slow start to win at Lingfield last time. He now makes his handicap debut off a mark of 82 and might be able to complete the double. Sea Founder looks to be learning on the job and has a definite chance lining up off the same rating as when fourth on his handicap bow at Haydock, while Silver Trumpet is another respected player. Following wind surgery, there was much to like about his latest second over 7f here.

Off what should be a good mark and after signalling a return to form last time, marginal preference is for CITY OF YORK.

Recent Tipperary runner-up THEGOOSEISCOOKED can go one place better. While she has flattered to deceive on more than one occasion, the Ger Keane-trained mare has returned in fine form this season. Prior to her latest narrow defeat, the eight-year-old finished a close third over C&D. In an ordinary contest that shouldn't take much winning, it will be disappointing for connections if she doesn't finally get her head in front. Flier, another who ran very well on her most recent visit to this track, should again be competitive. Just touched off by a well-handicapped rival, the Denise Foster-trained mare will find this easier. Carvalhal and Cleopatra's Needle are others with chances.

Seeking her breakthrough win at the age of eight, THEGOOSEISCOOKED looks as though she is capable of winning this

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (4/1 -45%)Virtue Patience |
4/1(-45%) | (7) Virtue Patience 4/1, One win in six career runs; did not get a clear run when beaten by 2 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 74 over 8 furlongs at Newbury last time; top jockey back on board; could figure here Unlucky not to go closer when third at Newbury last month; much respected off same mark. |

Golden Circet has held his form well in recent months and a drop in trip, along with a first-time visor, may yield some improvement, while Buy The Dip boasts solid credentials after a consistent run of efforts. Preference, though, is for POLITICAL POWER, who got off the mark at Newmarket last month and that success may open the door for him to take another step forward.

The unexposed VIRTUE PATIENCE looked unlucky not to go even closer when third of 14 at Newbury last month and can gain compensation.

7th (3) (11/1 -38%)Lunario |
11/1(-38%) | (3) Lunario 11/1, Did not get a clear run fourth beaten 6l in a handicap over 8f at Goodwood latest; 1m2f a stamina concern; hood first time; consistent; form chance but stamina for trip a big doubt Record in Class 5 bodes well but he has something to prove back over 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (40/1 -122%)Chourmo |
40/1(-122%) | (8) Chourmo 40/1, Well backed second beaten 6l in a handicap at Brighton latest; conditions suit; in good heart but needs step forward Beaten favourite in Class 6 at Brighton most recently; needs to raise his game. |

Two of Henry Candy's three victories this year have come courtesy of Double Red, who had subsequent winners behind him when completing a Nottingham brace. Golden Phase went some way to atoning for a costly Lingfield defeat when going in at Salisbury, but CLERMONT FERRAND is expected to take the necessary step forward for the switch to handicap company. Harry Charlton's four-year-old split 88 and 89-rated fillies on her Yarmouth introduction, giving weight away, and although not quite at that level since, a figure of 75 would appear lenient. Throw last year's winner Giselles Defence into the mix too.

Last year's winner GISELLES DEFENCE and fellow C&D scorer Fast Steps hold very solid claims returned to Newbury.

11/1(+73%) | (4) Next Stop Paris 11/1, Improved on chase debut fourth beaten 5l in a beginners chase chase over 2m4f at Kilbeggan latest; hurdles winner prior; steadily progressive; off a short-break; best watched on flat debut Tries the Flat for the first time but his jump form doesn't give much encouragement. |

3rd (1) (2/5 -10%)A Piece Of Heaven |
2/5(-10%) | (1) A Piece Of Heaven 2/5, Not clear run, suited by the trip, improved second beaten 1/2l in Irish Cesarewitch over 2m1f at The Curragh latest; returning from long layoff; enjoys making it; tough to beat if fit and ready to go Irish Cesarewitch second when last seen; should be a straightforward task despite absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (80/1 -21%)Redcliff Glen |
80/1(-21%) | (5) Redcliff Glen 80/1, Below form down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Kilbeggan most recent; generally out of form since autumn hurdles win; off a short-break; difficult to fancy Rated 61 in Britain; 0-6 on Flat; handicap hurdle winner last year; unlikely to feature. |

|RR| (6) (80/1 +20%)Laurie Blue |
80/1(+20%) | (6) Laurie Blue 80/1, Badly hampered early, never competitive after well beaten in a beginners chase chase over 2m6f at Tramore latest; tongue-tie first time; all to do Beaten a distance in maiden hurdles and chase start; tongue tie goes on but look elsewhere. |

This looks a good opportunity for A PIECE OF HEAVEN to gain a first win since joining Joseph O'Brien. Successful on three occasions for previous connections, the gelding was subsequently sold to race at Royal Ascot last year. Having finished mid-division as favourite in the Copper Horse Handicap, he later proved somewhat disappointing in a Curragh Group 3 before returning to that venue to finish runner-up in the Irish Cesarewitch on his final start. With a rating of 106, he sets a clear standard in this company. Listowel winner Gentleman Joe rates the main danger if able to reproduce that run. The veteran Shanroe isn't one to totally discount, despite his modest recent form.

A straightforward task for Irish Cesarewitch second, A PIECE OF HEAVEN. Shanroe and Gentleman Joe can follow him home

7/2(+30%) | (2) Pergola 7/2, Thrice raced maiden; raced a bit too freely when comfortably held in a maiden over 11 furlongs at Kempton last time; usually consistent; trainer in form; could go well on handicap debut for a powerful yard May improve now handicapping back on turf and this isn't a deep race. |

2nd (1) (4/7 +21%)Inquisition |
4/7(+21%) | (1) Inquisition 4/7, Well bred daughter of Sea The Stars; taking effort from the front when landing a handicap by 4 lengths off the mark of 65 at Yarmouth last time; very progressive sort with a good attitude; could be hard to stop here 3lb well in in her bid for a hat-trick after last week's emphatic Yarmouth win. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (12/1 +52%)Letsbeatsepsis |
12/1(+52%) | (7) Letsbeatsepsis 12/1, Keener than ideal and fitted with cheekpieces when beaten by 8 lengths in a handicap over 7 furlongs at Goodwood last time; generally out of form; hood applied for the first time; needs to improve Has steadily regressed since a promising debut; up in trip; hood on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (66/1 -65%)Marmalade Kid |
66/1(-65%) | (6) Marmalade Kid 66/1, Thrice raced maiden; slowly away when down the field in a maiden over 8 furlongs at Windsor on most recent run; makes handicap debut; 80/1 or bigger in all of his three novice runs; best watched This may be more realistic on handicap debut, but needs to leave previous efforts behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (33/1 -65%)Hush Puppy |
33/1(-65%) | (4) Hush Puppy 33/1, Zero wins in five runs; going probably a bit on the fast side when beaten by 10 lengths in a handicap over 8 furlongs at Leicester last time out; second run for current yard; might be best watched here Hasn't built on early promise and the longer trip is not certain to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (16/1 +0%)Arinagour |
16/1(+0%) | (9) Arinagour 16/1, Zero wins in four career runs; down the field in a handicap over 8 furlongs at Nottingham for most recent run; comes into this off a short-break; she has a fair bit to find in this The longer trip may suit on breeding and market support would be interesting. |

INQUISITION has continued to progress since beginning life in handicap company and the well-bred daughter of Sea The Stars, who ran out a comfortable winner when doubling up at Yarmouth last week, gets a confident vote to deliver once again. Pergola is best judged on her second at Bath and that level of form would give her an obvious chance to be competitive on her handicap bow. Others to note are Gretna Dreams and Pure Theory.

This revolves around INQUISITION who is still 3lb well in under a 6lb penalty for her emphatic success at Yarmouth a week ago.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 -14%)Tazaman |
4/1(-14%) | (3) Tazaman 4/1, Travelled well when landing a handicap by a length off 59 over 2m1f at Bath last time; drop back to 1m5f fine; big player seeking hat-trick Up in grade for his hat-trick bid but enters the reckoning with a 7lb claimer enlisted. |

3rd (7) (10/1 -25%)Van Aert |
10/1(-25%) | (7) Van Aert 10/1, Beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 1m6f at Sandown last time; in good form prior; blinkers first time; stamina to prove but should get trip; threat if stamina holds Perhaps found 1m6f a stretch at Sandown and hard to discount over this far; tries blinkers. |

4th (4) (2/1 +11%)Bellator Bullet |
2/1(+11%) | (4) Bellator Bullet 2/1, Landed a handicap by 2l off 65 over 1m6f at Nottingham last time; conditions suit; big player on hat-trick bid On a hat-trick and the horse he beat last time has gone on to better things. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/2 +0%)Jimmy Mark |
11/2(+0%) | (6) Jimmy Mark 11/2, Travelled well beaten 4l off 56 over 1m6f at Ffos Las last time; conditions suit well; in great heart, major player again Having a good season but he's up to a career-high mark; no match for winner last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (18/1 -13%)John Locke |
18/1(-13%) | (2) John Locke 18/1, Probably needed race beaten 8l in a handicap over 12f at Goodwood last time back from over 18 months off; had ability (rated 85 for h'cap debut three Flat runs back) but lot to prove Never really counted at Goodwood after a mammoth absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (4/1 -14%)Westlain |
4/1(-14%) | (5) Westlain 4/1, Well suited by step up in trip beaten 3/4l off 66 over 12f at Lingfield last time; usually held up; trip a plus; step forward latest and more to come, major player if coping with fast ground Kept on for third at Lingfield and this longer trip is well worth exploring. |

Tazaman and BELLATOR BULLET both arrive on three-timers, but the latter's form is stronger because he accounted for an upwardly-mobile subsequent winner at Nottingham. Alice Haynes' three-year-old has stamina in abundance and can continue on his upward curve. Jimmy Mark has hit the crossbar three times since his successful comeback at Bath and won't be far away. Van Aert's progression came to an abrupt halt at Sandown, but blinkers now replace cheekpieces.

The 3yo BELLATOR BULLET (nap) looks a progressive stayer, especially with the horse he beat last time raising his game subsequently.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
