1st (10) (13/2 +74%)Zacony Rebel |
13/2(+74%) | (10) Zacony Rebel 13/2, Outpaced, below form back over fneces down the field in a handicap chase here most recent; generally out of form; blinkers first time; easy to look elsewhere Generally very disappointing (mostly over hurdles) for current stable since the autumn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (17/2 -89%)Isocrate |
17/2(-89%) | (3) Isocrate 17/2, Rallied gamely, improved up in trip under positive ride at sharp track scored by 2l off 103 at Warwick penultimate start; below form off revised mark in better race fourth beaten 29l off 106 last time; cheekpieces first time; contender Won small-field chase last month; held since; needs to respond well to new cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (6/5 +31%)Dexter |
6/5(+31%) | (9) Dexter 6/5, Travelled, ran to form after wind op on ground quicker than ideal beaten a head off 91 over 2m at Uttoxeter last time; second run after wind op; good mark on French form, do better on easier ground but entitled to be thereabouts Went close over 2m on recent stable debut and will be suited by this move back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (15/2 -200%)Fat Sam |
15/2(-200%) | (4) Fat Sam 15/2, Keen, ran to current form beaten 2l off 104 here last time; well treated on old efforts but becoming frustrating; can make presence felt Not the force of old but kept on well for clear second over C&D this month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 +42%)Byzantine Empire |
7/1(+42%) | (2) Byzantine Empire 7/1, Outpaced, continued in poor form comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m at Newton Abbot last time; generally out of form; yet to take to chasing; fair mark on hurdle form; risky Safely held on both outings this spring but refitted tongue-tie may aid a revival today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (40/1 0%)Honneur D'ajonc |
40/1(0%) | (5) Honneur D'ajonc 40/1, Found little, outclassed well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; generally out of form; stiff mark, weak finisher; fair mark on spring hurdle form; risky Safely held in two handicap hurdles for new stable in June; first chase since early 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (14/1 -17%)Just A Memory |
14/1(-17%) | (6) Just A Memory 14/1, Wide, below form on chase debut, needed run comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Cartmel last time; generally out of form; open to marked improvement Pulled up on handicap hurdle debut but recent stable/chase debut not without promise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (9/1 +64%)Pride Of Paris |
9/1(+64%) | (7) Pride Of Paris 9/1, Mistakes, bled well beaten in a handicap chase over 2m7f here latest; inconsistent; each way shout if bringing best Expensive to follow for Harry Derham this year and safely held on stable debut; too risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (150/1 -200%)Chilinlikeavillain |
150/1(-200%) | (1) Chilinlikeavillain 150/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m at Newton Abbot latest; regressive in points prior; lot to find Pulled up on recent stable debut and has too much to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (150/1 -50%)Jobesgreen Lad |
150/1(-50%) | (8) Jobesgreen Lad 150/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Cartmel latest; blinkers first time; regressive Pulled up twice since return to racing under rules last month; headgear swapped here. |

FAT SAM looked to be coming back to form with a two-length second over C&D earlier in the month. Although not expected to recapture past glories at the age of 11, he has won four times over fences, all of them off higher marks. Isocrate failed to build on his Warwick victory when a distant fourth at Uttoxeter, but a drop in class and first-time cheekpieces may see him get back to his best, leaving Dexter as another to consider upped in trip after his Uttoxeter second.

After going close this month, DEXTER (nap) can come good for his much respected new stable at the second attempt.

1st (1) (4/1 -14%)Commander's Intent |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Commander's Intent 4/1, Ran to form 4 1/4l third in a novice at Newmarket (July) most recent run; steadily progressive; 7f suits; give in ground suits; bang in the mix Won a 7f novice on good to soft and not disgraced in better grade last time; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 +0%)Boiling Over |
7/2(+0%) | (3) Boiling Over 7/2, Below par fourth beaten 5l in a novice at Haydock latest;7f suits; unproven with cut; on workable looking mark for handicap bow, threat Good 2nd on second start; could bounce back on h'cap debut after lesser run last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/2 +22%)Dodge City |
7/2(+22%) | (4) Dodge City 7/2, Ran to form second beaten 2l in a maiden over 6f at Ayr latest; steadily progressive; should get 7f; handles cut; big player Placed at Newbury and Ayr on last two starts; worth considering up in trip on h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/1 -175%)Senorita Vega |
11/1(-175%) | (2) Senorita Vega 11/1, Beaten 7 1/2l in Albany Stakes (Group 3) over 6f at Ascot last time; opened account prior; trainer in form; 7f should suit; unproven with cut; on stiff looking mark, bit to find Finished 10th in the Albany having won 6f Brighton novice; h'cap debut over new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/1 -38%)Kawthar |
9/1(-38%) | (6) Kawthar 9/1, Ran to form fourth beaten 5l in a maiden here latest; 7f suits; unproven with cut; needs step forward but likely in the mix In the frame in three 6f/7f maidens on fast ground; needs to improve on her handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (33/1 -450%)Ibshara |
33/1(-450%) | (5) Ibshara 33/1, 7 1/2l third in a maiden at Epsom most recent run; 7f suits; unproven with cut; plenty of scope for more, bang in the mix Promise on all 3 starts notably when 2nd at Newmarket; first run on soft; handicap debut. |

This can go the way of DODGE CITY, who has improved with each career outing and should be suited by going up to 7f for the first time. A mark of 79 on his nursery debut looks manageable and he may have too much for Senorita Vega, who drops back in grade after contesting the Albany at Royal Ascot last month, and Newmarket third Commander's Intent. Boiling Over and Kawthar are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Preference is for BOILING OVER who was a good second two runs back before a below-par run last time. Dodge City is next best.

16/1(+0%) | (3) Tiger Orchid 16/1, Outpaced, below form comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; generally out of form; blinkers first time; top jockey back on board; stiff mark Very well suited by this C&D but not firing on all cylinders lately; headgear switched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (4/1 +27%)Fever Dream |
4/1(+27%) | (10) Fever Dream 4/1, Travelled, improved up in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 103 here last time; that good form; bit to find off revised mark Quickly back on track with C&D win this month; recent 4lb rise not excessive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/2 +13%)Deep Purple |
7/2(+13%) | (2) Deep Purple 7/2, Travelled, improved, possibly outstayed late up in trip 2l third in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter most recent run; steadily progressive; cheekpieces first time; starts chasing off lenient mark; go close if stamina holds up Point/bumper/hurdle winner; still has low mileage; shortlisted on chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (17/2 +0%)Magic Seven |
17/2(+0%) | (8) Magic Seven 17/2, Mistakes, ran to form appreciating the longer trip beaten 3l off 112 over 2m3f at Stratford last time; longer trip should suit; probably bit to come Not very reliable now but ran well in defeat last month (2m3f); tries a new trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (10/1 -11%)Mole Court |
10/1(-11%) | (1) Mole Court 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Market Rasen latest; back on last winning mark; doesn't look quiet the force of old On a good mark now but has become inconsistent and was pulled up last month, after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (16/1 -78%)Gateau De Miel |
16/1(-78%) | (5) Gateau De Miel 16/1, Travelled, improved from promising stable debut down in trip scored by 3 1/2l off 108 at Stratford penultimate start; travelled, flattened out after making big race move up in trip fourth beaten 12l off 108 last time; well treated on Irish chase form; danger Won a chase on last month's stable debut and also ran well over hurdles a week later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (9) (9/1 +50%)Always Busy |
9/1(+50%) | (9) Always Busy 9/1, Outpaced, rallied, improved scored by 7l off 103 over 3m at Southwell three starts back; ran to form fourth beaten 10l off 110 last time; bit to find and appears stable second string Small-field winner in May; recent C&D fourth was very respectable but others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (12/1 -243%)Heroique De Maulde |
12/1(-243%) | (4) Heroique De Maulde 12/1, Improved on recent form down in grade landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off 109 over 3m at Bangor-on-Dee last time; remains well treated on old form; big player In-form 8yo who is 2-3 since cheekpiecs were refitted in April; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (22/1 -22%)Scarlet O'tara |
22/1(-22%) | (7) Scarlet O'tara 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Uttoxeter latest; yet to take to chasing; fair mark on best hurdle form; risky Pulled up in his first two chases; big leap of faith required to support her. |

An interesting renewal and one where Heroique De Maulde may prove popular after winning by two and a quarter lengths at Bangor after coming late from off the pace. An added 5lb makes his life tougher against in-form opposition, a comment that also applies to Fever Dream, upped 4lb for a recent C&D success. TIGER ORCHID could go close as a triple course and distance winner, the latest off 5lb higher in June 2024, and with first-time blinkers added. Sam Twiston-Davies rides for the Newland/Insole team and he looks the stable pick ahead of Scarlet O'Tara.

The suggestion is chasing debutant DEEP PURPLE, who won a point in spring 2024 and didn't hang about over hurdles for long.

11/4(+8%) | (4) Sunset On Leros 11/4, Slowly away 7l fourth in a novice at Newmarket (July) first-time out; showed good promise on debut, sets the bar and should go close Ran well for a long in a useful novice at Newmarket on debut; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4/1 -33%)Allegresse |
4/1(-33%) | (5) Allegresse 4/1, 27 Feb; first foal; 36,000gns Oasis Dream colt; dam fair at 11f, half sister to couple of winners; top trainer with plenty of 2yo winners this term; likely player on debut Looks the part on paper and yard is 21% with 2yos this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (5/2 +58%)Calchas |
5/2(+58%) | (10) Calchas 5/2, Well beaten in a novice over 6f at Newmarket only start; off a short-break; 7f should suit; unproven with cut; disappointing given market support on debut, likely can do much better Didn't live up to market expectations at Newmarket and he's been gelded since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4/1 +33%)Erbil |
4/1(+33%) | (3) Erbil 4/1, 8 Mar; ninth foal; 50,000gns Palace Pier colt; half-brother to Afandem, very smart at 5f; dam useful at 6f at 2yo; yard having quiet time with juveniles; could figure, market can guide Half-brother to some smart winners and he needs a close look on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/2 -57%)Double Eagle |
11/2(-57%) | (2) Double Eagle 11/2, 17 Mar; 55,000gns breeze-up purchase by Dark Angel; first foal; dam unraced; yard going well, 20% plus strike-rate with 2yo's this term; could figure on debut, needs a market check 55,000gns 2yo; yard 20% with 2yos this season and he's an interesting newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (40/1 -100%)Raspoutine |
40/1(-100%) | (8) Raspoutine 40/1, In need of the experience well beaten in a maiden at Brighton only start; trainer in form; 7f a concern; unproven with cut; needs huge leap forward Didn't show much on recent Brighton debut (7f) and he's probably one for later on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (22/1 -120%)Ciao Capo |
22/1(-120%) | (1) Ciao Capo 22/1, Raced freely beaten 10l in a novice over 6f at Newcastle on debut; should get 7f; in the mix Made low-key start at a biggish price at Newcastle last month; needs lots of improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (66/1 -32%)Baldosa |
66/1(-32%) | (11) Baldosa 66/1, Well beaten in a maiden over 6f here only start; 7f may help; unproven with cut; needs big step forward Finished in rear a massive price on her debut here (6f, good) two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (300/1 -355%)Captain Bruce |
300/1(-355%) | (6) Captain Bruce 300/1, Down the field in a novice over 6f at Newcastle most recent; 7f may help; unproven with cut; beaten just one rival in two starts, needs big jump forward Big prices and he's finished ahead of only rival in two novice events over sprint trips. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (100/1 -100%)Hood Wink |
100/1(-100%) | (7) Hood Wink 100/1, In need of the experience well beaten in a novice at Beverley only start; 7f a concern; unproven with cut; needs huge leap forward Finished a tailed-off last of five on Beverley debut (7.4f) last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (200/1 -203%)Rupert Ritzik |
200/1(-203%) | (9) Rupert Ritzik 200/1, Well beaten in a maiden over 6f here only start; 7f amy help; unproven with cut; failed to beat a rival on debut, needs big leap forward 300-1 for a 6f maiden here (good) two weeks ago and he finished last of 13. |

Trainer Andrew Balding is no stranger to first-time-out winners and ALLEGRESSE looks bred for the job, with his dam being a half-sister to St Leger scorer Eldar Eldarov. The son of Oasis Dream is likely to want further in time, but he may have enough on this occasion to see off fellow newcomer Erbil, who is related to a whole host of winners, many of which went well over this distance. A relatively promising fourth on debut at Newmarket last month, Sunset On Leros is entitled to improve for that effort, while Double Eagle is one to monitor for market support.

The vote goes to SUNSET ON LEROS, who ran well for a long way at Newmarket last month. That form has received a major boost since.

1st (3) (9/1 -100%)Blind Beggar |
9/1(-100%) | (3) Blind Beggar 9/1, Ran roughly to form when beaten by 2 lengths off the mark of 80 at Salisbury last time; wide draw to deal with here; effective at 5/6 furlongs; acts on any going; 3lb's lower than last winning mark; could bounce back to winning ways here Losing run is mounting up and latest defeat came in a weaker race than this one. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/1 -25%)Tourist |
10/1(-25%) | (2) Tourist 10/1, Below par when beaten by 10 lengths in a handicap over 6 furlongs at Doncaster last time out; generally out of form at the moment; cheekpieces fitted for the first time; needs to bounce back here Won at Bath on stable debut but has regressed since; wears first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (28/1 -12%)Sandscreendeliverd |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Sandscreendeliverd 28/1, Yet to win in seven career starts; slowly away when beaten by 9 lengths in a handicap at Epsom last time out; down 5lb's from last run; came second at Lingfield back in May; will need a career best here 3yo maiden who isn't entirely solid but faced a stiff task last time and this is easier. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (3/1 +40%)Silver Wraith |
3/1(+40%) | (8) Silver Wraith 3/1, Zero wins in five career runs; well backed when beaten by 4 lengths off the mark of 71 at Windsor last time; tongue-tie fitted for the first time; significant jockey booking here; unexposed type who could be anything The least exposed contender; latest effort suggests this return to a stiffer 5f will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (4/1 +43%)Good Earth |
4/1(+43%) | (6) Good Earth 4/1, Vastly experienced 8yo with eighty-five runs to his name; below par when upped in trip and beaten by 6 lengths in a handicap over 6 furlongs at York last time; in good form prior; last win came here; 5lb's lower than last victory; needs to bounce back here Record over C&D is 3115, most recently only 2l behind Jenever in June; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (15/2 -7%)Cloud King |
15/2(-7%) | (4) Cloud King 15/2, Two wins in fourteen runs; ran to form when beaten a length off the mark of 76 at Lingfield last time out; significant jockey booking for this race; wide draw to deal with here; needs to really bounce back to some form here Scored comfortably off this mark last July; good chance if that peak form is repeated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (3/1 +14%)Jenever |
3/1(+14%) | (1) Jenever 3/1, Scored by 1 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 79 here on penultimate start; since came fourth and beaten by 2 lengths off the mark of 84 last time; dropped 1lb in the weights from last time; can bounce back to form at a venue he ran well at recently Record over C&D comprises a close second in this race last year and two wins; solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (12/1 +52%)Dapper Valley |
12/1(+52%) | (5) Dapper Valley 12/1, Seemed to be on a stiff mark when beaten by 7 lengths in a handicap over 6 furlongs at Haydock last time; generally out of form at present; significant jockey booking here; probably best watched Has weak claims on 2025 form and this return to 5f doesn't look ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (20/1 -150%)Honour Your Dreams |
20/1(-150%) | (7) Honour Your Dreams 20/1, Landed a handicap by 1/2 a length off the mark of 73 at Lingfield last time; upped 3lb's in the weights from that victory; two-time winner in May of this year; runs for new connections in this; a real contender here given his current form Won at Lingfield (final run for Mick Appleby) last time; yet to defy a mark this high. |

HONOUR YOUR DREAMS got back to winning ways at Lingfield earlier in the month and is just 3lb higher. The five-year-old has since switched to the Michael Attwater yard and he looks the one to beat. Jenever was far from disgraced in fourth at Newmarket on his latest outing and has to be respected as he takes a drop in grade. Blind Beggar completes the shortlist.

Back at the scene of her promising debut, the unexposed SILVER WRAITH (nap) looks particularly interesting. Jenever is second pick.

1st (7) (6/1 +40%)Uncle Remus |
6/1(+40%) | (7) Uncle Remus 6/1, Fourth beaten 5l in an Amateurs' bumper here latest; that similar level of form to debut; plenty more needed Caught the eye making smooth headway from the rear when fourth here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (8/1 -45%)Frammy |
8/1(-45%) | (4) Frammy 8/1, Did not get a clear run 4 1/2l fourth in a bumper over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee first-time out; had wind op since; fair claims with improvement likely Shaped with significant promise when fourth at Bangor; had wind op soon afterwards. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (18/5 -3%)Garde My Guinness |
18/5(-3%) | (8) Garde My Guinness 18/5, 12l third in a bumper over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee most recent run when well fancied; sound surface suits; most likely alternative Kept on for third on both outings; likely to be on the premises again here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (14/1 +44%)Kilcandra Jvc |
14/1(+44%) | (2) Kilcandra Jvc 14/1, No worthwhile form in points; off a short-break; all to do on rules debut Came to grief in all three Irish points in May but not without showing some promise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (18/1 +28%)The Kings Soldier |
18/1(+28%) | (6) The Kings Soldier 18/1, Soldier Of Fortune gelding; half-brother to Slane Hill, useful at 20f; poor in a point; best watched Pulled up in a point on debut; makes rules debut today; market may point the way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (13/8 +19%)Midnight Pass |
13/8(+19%) | (10) Midnight Pass 13/8, Runner-up beaten 2l in a Mares bumper here only start; trainer in form; sets form standard; tough to beat with improvement likely Kept on for second over C&D on debut three weeks ago; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (33/1 -65%)Land Of Dreams |
33/1(-65%) | (5) Land Of Dreams 33/1, 9,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Morpheus; dam poor at 12f; yard better known for flat exploits; market can guide Out of a French AQPS Flat winner; market instructive on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (5/1 +17%)Dontcontradictme |
5/1(+17%) | (1) Dontcontradictme 5/1, Third beaten 6 1/4l in a bumper over 2m1f at Market Rasen debut; should improve; in the mix if doing so Kept on for very respectable third behind two previous winners at Market Rasen last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (80/1 -300%)Northhaven |
80/1(-300%) | (3) Northhaven 80/1, Harbour Law gelding; dam very useful at 7f; stable not known for first time out winners; best watched Third foal from a fair sprinter; stable has fair share of bumper winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (150/1 -355%)Lizzielooe |
150/1(-355%) | (9) Lizzielooe 150/1, Dartmouth filly; half-sister to Getmetothemoon, fair at 15f; hood first time; watching brief advised Half-sister to a low-grade hurdle winner; hooded on debut; probably best watched. |

Dontcontradictme caught the eye when third at Market Rasen on his only start after weakening late on to miss out on second behind an odds-on winner. Frammy wasn't beaten far when fourth at Bangor in June and the fact that he has had wind surgery since makes him of interest, but MIDNIGHT PASS could be the one. A two-length second on debut over C&D to a Gordon Elliott-trained favourite who was landing her hat-trick, that form looks the best on offer in this field.

Top of the list is Market Rasen third DONTCONTRADICTME, who arguably has the most compelling form.

REIGNMAN produced a career-best effort when third on handicap debut at Kempton recently and a 1lb drop could prove lenient as he looks to build upon that effort. David Loughnane's charge can get off the mark at the fifth time of asking, with the capable Diddy Man looking best placed to chase him home. Ratafia has strong claims on his penultimate success at Yarmouth last month, whereas Jez Bomb has dropped back to his last winning mark.

Although not at her best for her present yard, FLAG OF LOVE has dropped to a good mark and can get off the mark now back on soft going.

PUBLISH shaped with plenty of promise when filling the runner-up spot at this venue earlier in the month and will have lots more to offer. With normal improvement, he will prove very hard to beat. Catullus showed considerable ability on his introduction when making the frame at Newmarket and is likely to take a step forward. Any market confidence behind newcomer Fahidi would be interesting.

The strongest form contenders are PUBLISH and Catullus, while Fahidi and The Joker are newcomers to note.

|F| (6) (20/1 -186%)Chelsea Annie |
20/1(-186%) | (6) Chelsea Annie 20/1, Travelled, improved benefitting from patient ride off strong pace won a novice hurdle here by 3l last time; could progress again now handicapping but must do to defy this mark Shock winner of C&D novice last month; probably needs to improve again in this handicap. |

Having got the better of an easy subsequent winner over C&D earlier this month, SCINTILLANTE is likely to prove a warm order to follow up. The pair were 28 lengths clear of the third and an 8lb rise for Alastair Ralph's charge looks workable. The biggest threat may emerge from Spot On Soph, who has posted three creditable efforts in defeat this season, while Bannister could also feature if settling better.

Alastair Ralph's SCINTILLANTE won fairly comfortably over C&D three weeks ago, and the runner-up easily went one better here recently.

7th (8) (4/1 +11%)Overlooked |
4/1(+11%) | (8) Overlooked 4/1, Going probably on fast side beaten 2 1/2l off 58 over 7f at Beverley last time; 1m fine; soft ground a concern; not quite found level but getting closer, needs bit more Regressive maiden who's found his level this year; hard to be sure about this ground. |

The softer ground will be an issue for some of these, so it may pay to side with OBEE JO who sits at the bottom of the weights for Tim Easterby. His recent fourth at Thirsk may fail to inspire, but he races off 1lb lower here and has won eight of his 67 starts, with one of those on heavy ground and another on soft, both off 8lb higher marks. Ey Up Its Jazz handles cut in the ground and is an obvious rival after his Ayr success, while Astronomica is another to consider.

Ey Up Its Jazz holds claims but is taken on with ASTRONOMICA, whose record over a round 1m on soft ground makes for decent reading.

12/1(+33%) | (1) Electoral College 12/1, Showed a good attitude on a promising debut when a 3/4 of a length winner in a novice at Doncaster on debut; wide draw to deal with here; game winner on debut who could improve even more here; a contender Came out best in a field of newcomers at Doncaster and the form is proving solid. |

HOPE QUEEN looked an exciting prospect when scoring on her debut at Beverley last month and could have any amount of improvement to come. Karl Burke's filly might only need to reproduce that performance in order to take this step up in class in her stride. Electoral College struck at Doncaster at the first time of asking and it would be no surprise to see her feature, while Jennifer Jane is another to keep an eye on.

After a good performance at a major festival, ORION'S BELT is taken to follow up. Hayynah is second choice.

Cephalus has proved a useful servant on the Flat and he could go close if transferring his ability on this hurdles bow. However, all 10 of the six-year-old's career victories have been recorded on the all-weather and he has yet to score beyond 1m. With that in mind, WHATYOUWAITINGFOR rates as the most solid proposition after filling the runner-up spot twice at Stratford this month. Aslukgoes may give the selection most to think about if building on his second-placed reappearance over C&D.

It remains to be seen whether ASLUKGOES will return to the smart level he showed in bumpers but he could still be the answer to this.

1st (5) (6/5 +40%)The Cursor |
6/5(+40%) | (5) The Cursor 6/5, Going probably on fast side beaten 10l in a handicap at Ascot last time; should get 1m4f; handles cut; highly tried last twice, sets the bar and better to come Solid second at Doncaster on reappearance; out of depth in two starts since. |

4th (4) (11/1 -29%)Codiak |
11/1(-29%) | (4) Codiak 11/1, 78,000 euros Make Believe gelding; fifth foal; half-brother to Raven's Cry, smart at 10f; blinkers first time; yard in good form; likely player on debut, market can guide 78,000euros yearling; by Make Believe; wears blinkers on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (22/1 -83%)Blue Martini |
22/1(-83%) | (3) Blue Martini 22/1, 46,000 euros Persian King gelding; fifth foal; half brother to winners in France; dam unraced; tough task on debut, market can guide 46,000euros foal; has a very useful French pedigree; check the betting. |

The small field and going may suit the Richard Hannon trained STEM, a nine-and-a-half length winner on debut on heavy ground at Newbury last September, but not seen since. Sent to the lead two furlongs out that day, he was in no danger from that point onwards and clearly looks the one to beat. Arabian Poet has been gelded since his Newmarket fourth which may bring enough improvement to see him challenging, while Blue Martini ought to handle the ground and is an interesting newcomer.

Back in calmer waters, THE CURSOR is preferred. The betting may well prove instructive as regards all the other runners.

1st (4) (5/2 +38%)Tarriance |
5/2(+38%) | (4) Tarriance 5/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 running's of this race; well backed and probably improved a fraction when coming second and beaten a neck in a novice over 12 furlongs at Doncaster latest; steadily progressive; might stay further; the unknown quantity who could go well here Thrice-raced colt who is improving; ties in with Gravitas; respected. |

2nd (2) (5/4 +17%)Pendragon |
5/4(+17%) | (2) Pendragon 5/4, Well backed and came clear in impressive fashion when landing a handicap by 4 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 85 here last time; trainer in good form; suited by 14 furlongs and fast ground; upped 9lb's for the win last time; in cracking form of late and should land the four-timer Three emphatic wins this term, latest over C&D; textbook Prescott improver. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (8/1 -60%)Tremorgio |
8/1(-60%) | (5) Tremorgio 8/1, Ran to form when upped in trip and beaten by 3 lengths off the mark of 87 at Ascot last time; top course jockey; suited by 14 furlongs; acts on any ground conditions; game and mark looks workable Godolphin gelding who is proving consistent (11324); in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/1 -150%)Boatswain |
10/1(-150%) | (3) Boatswain 10/1, A touch disappointing when upped in trip on handicap debut and beaten by 7 lengths over 12 furlongs at Ascot last time; in good form prior; effective at 10 furlongs; should get further; may be on a stiff mark here Solid record over middle distances; possibilities if this new trip suits. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (10/1 -33%)Gravitas |
10/1(-33%) | (6) Gravitas 10/1, Ran to form on handicap debut when coming a 8 and a 1/4 length third at York on most recent run; effective 12-14 furlongs on a sound surface; consistent sort who probably needs to improve to land this Tends to hang but is still unexposed and ties in with Tarriance. |

PENDRAGON could not have done it any easier over C&D last time out and a 9lb rise for that success may not be enough to prevent him from landing the four-timer. Sir Mark Prescott often does well with these types and the son of Camelot should have too much for handicap debutant Tarriance, who is taken to overturn form with Gravitas from their most recent clash over 1m4f at Doncaster. A respectable fourth on his first go over this trip at Ascot recently, Tremorgio cannot be ruled out either.

Another large rise in the weights may not stop PENDRAGON from completing a four-timer. Tarriance is second choice.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/2 +0%)Katana |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Katana 9/2, Below par second beaten 2l in a maiden hurdle here latest; in good form prior including in C&D handicap; danger Runner-up over C&D on last two appearances (handicap/maiden); in the shake-up again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (200/1 +0%)Royal Mark |
200/1(+0%) | (6) Royal Mark 200/1, Down the field in a bumper over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee most recent; usually consistent; difficult to fancy on hurdle debut Did not show enough in his three bumpers to warrant serious consideration. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (200/1 0%)Molly's Angel |
200/1(0%) | (10) Molly's Angel 200/1, Poor effort well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m4f here latest; generally out of form; all to do Well beaten at big odds here (2m4f) this month, after a long absence.. |

Katana's latest second-placed stable bow over C&D took a knock when the winner proved uncompetitive off an opening mark of 105 at Uttoxeter recently. Robert Stephens' inmate cannot be ruled out in this open affair, but he could be worth taking on with TILEHURST. The four-year-old found only a subsequent winner too strong on his hurdles debut over track and trip last month and a repeat may prove sufficient. Stable debutant Rock On Pedro would make more appeal over further, but he cannot be dismissed under the tutelage of Olly Murphy.

The suggestion is TILEHURST, who went down fighting over C&D on last month's hurdling debut and probably still has potential.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (80/1 -60%)Wildfell |
80/1(-60%) | (10) Wildfell 80/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton most recent; generally out of form; 7f ok; soft not ideal; lost way, lot to prove Won four on the trot in 2023; not scored since; tailed off on stable debut; best watched. |

Wildfell has a 50% record (3-6) over 7f with wins at Southwell, Kempton and Lingfield on the all-weather and the five-year-old could get involved if improving for his return at Wolverhampton. Novello Lad won with plenty up his sleeve over shorter at Nottingham last time. However, a 5lb penalty and softer ground may find him out, so HIGHLAND OLLY gets the nod. Weakening over a mile when fourth at Pontefract in May, he has run well without winning on soft ground before and could do better dropping back a furlong.

This can go to ONE NIGHT THUNDER, who has shaped better on his last two starts, and is well suited by plenty of give in the ground.

8th (5) (9/4 -29%)Man Of Desert |
9/4(-29%) | (5) Man Of Desert 9/4, Probably ran to form on handicap debut when coming fourth of seven runners and beaten by 2 and a 1/2 lengths off the mark of 80 at Yarmouth last time; suited by a mile and a sound surface; mark might be a little high here Least exposed contender; rallying fourth over 1m last time; interesting back at 1m2f. |

Runner-up on four of his six starts this season, Beach Point is expected to be thereabouts again, while Man Of Desert looks well worth another go at this distance after a creditable fourth over 1m at Yarmouth. However, a chance is taken with the returning BALTIC VOYAGE, who makes his first appearance for Marcus Tregoning after a spell over hurdles. The five-year-old appears to be fairly handicapped and may strike in an open event.

Nicely bred and unexposed, MAN OF DESERT appears to have a good opportunity to get off the mark. Beach Point is feared most.

14th (11) (300/1 -50%)Rynok Square |
300/1(-50%) | (11) Rynok Square 300/1, No worthwhile form going off at big prices all starts; all to do Tailed off at huge odds in three maiden hurdles, put a line through. |

CLAUDE might be able to take this on his debut over flights. From the family of dual 1,000 Guineas winner Finsceal Beo, he has failed to live up to market expectations in two starts to date. Now tried in first-time cheekpieces and getting weight allowances, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Returning from a break, Crooked Tannie is the clear form choice. However, he's had plenty of opportunities to open his account over hurdles and was a beaten favourite four times last year. A good third on his debut for Gavin Cromwell at Downpatrick recently, Front Door Famous should be able to make his presence felt, while others for the shortlist in this weak affair are Complete Fiction and Hudson.

PRIVILEGE has taken the silver medal home at Newton Abbot the last twice and remains on a workable mark. The seven-year-old looks well placed to go one better. Independent Jimmy has undergone a wind operation since finishing second at Bangor last month and has to be respected off an unchanged rating. Of the remainder, Jager Time makes the most appeal.

Sixty Plus is 8lb well in under a penalty but a chance is taken on handicap debutant JAGER TIME who is ready for this longer trip.

SONG BROCADE showed the benefit of her debut with a promising second over 1m2f at Lingfield last month. However, she readily eclipsed that when she made all from a flag start over the same trip at Ffos Las most recently. With that maiden success under her belt, this half-sister to the Group 3 placed Empress Wu steps into a handicap from a workable mark and has little to fear on the forecast going. The lightly-weighted pair Telepathic and Requiem are the pick of the rest.

Telepathic needs to settle and this can go to SONG BROCADE, who continued her progression when making all on soft ground latest.

17/2(-6%) | (2) Nunc Est Bibendum 17/2, Yet to win in five career runs; ran to her best when beaten by 3/4 of a length off the mark of 68 at Naas last time; returning from long layoff; suited by 10f; makes new stable debut here; might need a career best to win this Largely progressive results in Ireland last year; possibilities. |

Placed on each of her two previous handicap outings in Ireland, the returning NUNC EST BIBENDUM looks like a shrewd recruit to the Gary & Josh Moore yard and she is fancied to break the maiden at the sixth time of asking. That may be at the main expense of narrow Windsor second Gloryous, although Pergola also looks dangerous, even after being hit with a 4lb rise for a last-gasp Epsom success on her handicap debut. Maundy Thursday and Tap Dancer may also have a say in proceedings.

The vote goes to MAUNDY THURSDAY with this drop back in distance a possible source of improvement. Pergola is second choice.

|PU| (6) (50/1 +24%)Absolute Bliss |
50/1(+24%) | (6) Absolute Bliss 50/1, Did not get a clear run down the field in a bumper here most recent; off a short-break; more needed on hurdle debut Hasn't built on Tipperary third behind Hillhead Runner, best watched on hurdling debut. |

A good quality contest with MUMMY DERRY the selection. A half-sister to Spillane's Tower, she proved very easy to back and ran accordingly when tried in Grade 2 company on her debut over flights at Sandown in February. Given a break since and in much calmer waters now, it'll be disappointing if she's not involved towards the business end. With race fitness on her side, Zanoosh could prove the main danger. An encouraging fourth on her first try over timber, she since won a bumper but was a beaten favourite on her latest start. Returning from a lengthy absence, it'll be interesting to see how West End Victory fares on her debut for Sonny Carey. Gavin Cromwell saddles two leading hopes in the shape of Sophia Rose and Hillhead Runner, while Tequila Talkin' and Watching The Clock are others capable of making an impact.

There was plenty to like about how TEQUILA TALKIN' ran after a long absence at Listowel and she gets the vote upped in trip

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (14/1 -40%)Big Bee Hive |
14/1(-40%) | (5) Big Bee Hive 14/1, Likes the track, returned to form scored by 3 1/2l off 88 over 3m at Southwell three starts back; made too much use of seventh beaten 52l off 93 last time; others more reliable Won off reduced mark in early June but soundly beaten twice since. |

FINE BY ME occupied the runner-up berth over track and trip earlier in the month and is just 1lb higher. The eight-year-old will need to produce a career-best effort to win this but he might be capable of doing so. Star Legend made the frame in this grade at Stratford on his latest effort over hurdles and should remain competitive off the same mark, while Jack The Savage is another to note.

Another chance is readily given to LYNESS DANCER, who was a very convincing winner on her stable debut and had excuses last time.

Aidan O'Brien runs two newcomers in this maiden and riding arrangements indicate that MONTREAL is the stable pick. This son of Sea The Stars has a Group 2 entry in the Futurity Stakes at the Curragh next month. His stablemate, Pierre Bonnard, is a son of Camelot and, interestingly, holds that engagement in addition to a Group 1 National Stakes entry, so there is a lot to like on paper. Johnny Murtagh's Hanak could be a lively debutant as he boasts some useful relatives. Genchev outran his odds when third on debut at Naas and that run will stand to him, while South Island ran fifth in a good maiden at the Curragh and has big-race entries.

Balllydoyle newcomers Montreal and Pierre Bonnard may struggle to cop with GENCHEV, who was placed in a Listed race on debut

10th (8) (18/1 -13%)Initial Blue |
18/1(-13%) | (8) Initial Blue 18/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark down the field in a handicap over 7f at Chepstow most recent; out of form all three runs in 2025; drop back to 6f a plus; soft a concern; needs much more Has struggled in three handicaps this season and needs a big turnaround back in trip. |

PROMISE TIME readily justified favouritism in 0-55 handicap at Carlisle in May before brushing aside a 9lb rise to score over C&D last month. Although a 7lb higher mark demands more on this occasion, this progressive three-year-old has bags of scope and is tough to resist with his hat-trick bid. Licence To Conquer was game when winning over 7f at Lingfield earlier in the month and is another improving type to bear in mind, dropped back a furlong. Haazeez and Dark Rosa are others for the shortlist.

Top of the list is PROMISE TIME (nap), who completed a double in good style over C&D last month and is open to more progress.

FANTASY WORLD revelled in a pacesetting role when he made all over 1m2f to break his maiden at Ffos Las and a mark of 82 could be workable for his first try in a handicap. Fellow three-year-old Minhad, who was flying high when pitched into the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot, should find this level more accessible and is another appealing option with a weight-for-age allowance. Recent York winner Secret Beach and Charmaine are the pick of the older brigade.

Having got off the mark in a maiden at Ffos Las last month, the progressive FANTASY WORLD is taken to follow up on his handicap debut.

With Hannah Phillips again on board, ROSE BOUM is the selection. Runner-up over C&D in May, the locally-trained five-year-old has since been guided by Phillips to a breakthrough win at Punchestown and has gone up just 3lb. A close third in that Punchestown heat, it'll come as no surprise if the Philip Rothwell-trained Warm In Gorey manages to at least close the gap. The Co Wicklow handler is also represented by To The Wire, with this unexposed point-to-point winner capable of making an impact. Placed five times since a surprise win on debut, Mi Lucky Cailin is another for the shortlist, while Ladiam and Knockraha Eagle are others sure to have plenty of supporters in this competitive affair.

There wasn't much between Rose Boum and WARM IN GOREY at Punchestown and the latter may be able to reverse the form on these terms

GORDON GREY has been in fine fettle in both codes of late and is likely to prove a warm order to follow up his 11-length romp at Epsom. A 5lb penalty for the five-year-old looks far from insurmountable and a sixth career victory could be imminent. The biggest threat may emerge from Fast Steps, who arrives here in better heart than most. Vaynor may fare best of the remainder with his sights lowered.

Gordon Grey, Azahara Palace and Alazwar need considering but FAST STEPS likes it here and Patrick Millman knows him well.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 -100%)Zorka |
50/1(-100%) | (6) Zorka 50/1, 25 Feb; 20,000 euros Flintshire filly; dam poor at 7f; looks an unlikely winner on debut A E26,000 foal made E20,000 as a yearling; likely to improve from this. |

TEEWINOT showed that there is plenty to work with when fourth on debut at Fairyhouse. She put in good late work to be beaten two-and-a-half lengths by the winner and, granted normal improvement, should be heavily involved. Amerilis receives 4lb from Teewinot and that gives her a good chance. She came home sixth on her first start in a fillies' maiden at the Curragh and the form has been well franked by several of the horses in front of her. Spinning Around is a nicely-bred sort who ought to take a step forward after her debut fifth at Roscommon.

Preference is for AMERILIS as the Curragh maiden she ran in was a strong race and she gets a handy 4lb from Teewinot.

8th (1) (5/1 +58%)Dorney Lake |

10th (10) (14/1 +13%)Sensorium |
14/1(+13%) | (10) Sensorium 14/1, Improved up in class 1 1/4l third in a 2yo race at York most recent run; steadily progressive; returning from long layoff; should be thereabouts if tuned up on return back in grade Fine third in 2yo sales race at York last August but this is his first run since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (12/1 -200%)Express Train |
12/1(-200%) | (12) Express Train 12/1, Ideally suited by trip when winning a novice at Leicester by 5l last time; that much improved in first start over 6f; makes handicap debut; player Easy novice win at Leicester and this 3yo may have been let in lightly on handicap debut. |

Dorney Lake is C&D winner with claims, while the hat-trick seeking Tiger Tulip has an obvious chance on her much improved recent form. However, this is highly competitive and cases can be made for several others, not least SENSORIUM. The lightly-raced three-year-old has tons of scope for progression in handicaps and is very dangerous to ignore on his return. Bishop's Crown wasn't beaten far into third at Windsor on Monday and is also noteworthy with blinkers added.

Having impressed at Leicester this month, EXPRESS TRAIN may have been let in lightly for this handicap debut.

A competitive affair, with SMALL TOWN HERO the suggestion. On his first start for Ian Donoghue, the five-year-old made all at Roscommon earlier this month and might still be ahead of the handicapper off a revised mark of 81. The first-time cheekpieces that were fitted at Roscommon remain in place, with Conor Stone-Walsh again taking the ride. In truth, a case can be made for many others, with the locally-trained Hatfield Hammer sure to have plenty of supporters. No worse than third on his last five starts, another bold bid can be expected from this previous course winner. An encouraging third on her debut for Sam Curling at Downpatrick, it'll come as no surprise if Fire Coral manages to go a few places better. Ballerina Boxer, Lummi Island, Onefortheditch and handicap debutant Sylvia's Secret are others for the shortlist.

FIRE CORAL ran a nice race on debut for Sam Curling 10 days ago and this longer trip is going to suit on the evidence of that effort

11/1(+67%) | (6) Fan Me 11/1, Too Darn Hot filly; half-sister to a couple of winners, including graded winner Ready To Venture; dam, Wonderstruck, placed in group company; well beaten in a maiden at Newmarket (July) only start; difficult to fancy Probably needed it when 10-1 and seventh of eight (7f, good to firm) on her recent debut. |

Having shown promise with her debut sixth in a class 2 novice here last month, it could be worth taking a chance on BOX CLEVER. The daughter of Zoustar should have learned plenty from that experience and these calmer waters could prove fruitful. Speculative was a place behind the selection and is also entitled to improve, although a bigger threat may emerge from newcomer Darkwing, who requires monitoring in the betting.

Darkwing is a fascinating newcomer but CRYSTAL PIER holds strong claims on her encouraging debut over C&D and can open her account.

COMPOSING benefited from her debut performance at the Curragh when stepped up to 7f at the same venue and duly obliging. Aidan O'Brien's filly is likely to have further improvement to come and has a fine opportunity to deliver up in class. Skydance may not have a '1' beside her name, but her third place in a Group 2 at the Curragh is strong form. There has been plenty of rain over Leopardstown and Brownstown is proven on soft ground courtesy of a victory in a fillies' maiden over a similar trip at this track.

Gavin Cromwell's BROWNSTOWN was a debut C&D winner after picking up experience in a Naas trial. He is just preferred to Composing

A MAJOR PAYNE was unlucky in that the saddle slipped when he was making headway at Sandown so his eventual second-placed finish was commendable. His two previous starts also saw him fill the runner-up berth and Michael Bell's dependable gelding is well worth persevering with, given he is still on a workable mark. Jimmy Speaking and Mostawaa are other strong contenders, while Lunar Orbit is an unexposed three-year-old with the potential to figure too.

The 4yo JIMMY SPEAKING is a good starting point as he arrives here on the back of three competitive efforts at 1m.

This is undoubtedly weaker than the first division, with a chance taken on ROYAL CAVE. A final-flight faller when looking set to score at Fairyhouse in October, the Chris Timmons-trained six-year-old has lost her way since. Back over flights for the first time since April and given a pipe-opener on the level at Dundalk recently, she could return to form in a contest of this quality. Runner-up on his penultimate start at Listowel, Tackletommywoowoo was beaten when falling at the last at Kilbeggan subsequently. Provided he's none the worse for that mishap, he should be able to make an impact. Starting off in handicap company, Captain P is of definite interest with Danny Gilligan aboard. Others for the shortlist are Stellar Symphony, Phildante, Technology and Derby Rock.

Although back up to a career-high mark STELLAR SYMPHONY (nap) holds strong claims on her Cork second to a well-handicapped sort

1st (3) (3/1 -33%)North Coast |
3/1(-33%) | (3) North Coast 3/1, Solid effort and at least ran to form of second start second beaten 3 1/4l in Pat Smullen Stakes (Listed) over 8f at Naas latest; holds Flanker Jet on that; ought to go close Has shown a decent standard of form but may struggle to reverse form with Flushing Meadows. |

2nd (2) (30/100 +40%)Flushing Meadows |
30/100(+40%) | (2) Flushing Meadows 30/100, Yard has won 3 of last 5 runnings of race; well backed, improved markedly up in class on second start second beaten a short-head in Anglesey Stakes (Group 3) over 6f at The Curragh latest; big, strong, attractive type, likely to be progressive; tough to beat Had North Coast back in third when winning on debut, can atone for Anglesey Stakes defeat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (25/1 -14%)Prospect Thunder |
25/1(-14%) | (4) Prospect Thunder 25/1, Colt by high-class sprinter Acclamation; half-brother to Nouvel Espoir, useful at 5f; dam very useful miler Hope Lake; probably effective 7f; pitched in at the deep end; market can guide Newcomer by Acclamation out of a Shamardal mare, stablemate of Flanker Jet, tough task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (50/1 +0%)Flanker Jet |
50/1(+0%) | (1) Flanker Jet 50/1, Possibly didn't stay up in trip, but seemed outclassed comfortably held in Pat Smullen Stakes (Listed) over 8f at Naas last time; hard to recommend Promising debut before failing to do himself justice in a Listed race over 1m at Naas. |

FLUSHING MEADOWS just failed by a short head in a Group 3 over a shorter trip in the Curragh and ought to relish this extended 7f. He was a good winner of his maiden in the Curragh and has a whole range of big-race options. North Coast hacked up in a Down Royal maiden and then finished second in Listed company over 1m in Naas, so he's definitely a worthy opponent. Adrian Murray fields the other two colts in newcomer Prospect Thunder and twice-raced Flanker Jet (who was well behind North Coast in sixth at Naas). The former must be well regarded to be starting his career in a Group 3.

An expensive loser at 2-9 in the Anglesey Stakes, FLUSHING MEADOWS\b should make amends by confirming debut form with \bNorth Coast

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (20/1 -43%)Paroda Diva |
20/1(-43%) | (4) Paroda Diva 20/1, £10,000 yearling; Magna Grecia filly; beaten 6l in a nursery at Chester last time; only win came over 7f at Lingfield in May, when scoring by 2l; may contend, but looks unlikely to get better of others in this field Good second on nursery debut this month; form dipped in first-time cheekpieces last time. |

A drop into class 5 company did the trick for Snake Charmer when making all at Brighton earlier this month and he warrants respect on his handicap bow, but WHO IS ALICE is slightly more compelling. Jack Channon's filly opened her account at Chepstow 13 days ago and an initial mark of 69 could prove to be lenient. Strength of Spirit and Mehmas Air Force are others of interest.

None of these are ruled out but WHO IS ALICE still looked raw when getting off the mark last time and could be leniently treated.

Although not at his best on the all-weather last time, a chance can be taken on RACINGBREAKS RYDER. Charlie Hills' charge will undoubtedly relish testing conditions and is still on a competitive mark. His previous performance, when beaten a short head by the progressive Nariko at Goodwood, reads extremely well and he might provide some value. El Bodon kept on well into second over 6f at Chester and is interesting now stepped up in trip. Others to note include Mister Bluebird and top-weight Dosman.

Preference is for MISTER BLUEBIRD who gave the highly progressive Alzahir a race at Epsom last time.

7/1(+68%) | (5) Cruisin Susan 7/1, Below form, race may have come too soon down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Tramore most recent; generally out of form; usually held up; outsider Absent since January and probably best watched over an inadequate trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (40/1 -82%)Ladybela |

With course-winning form to his name, SPLENDID CHOICE is the selection in this weak affair. Not beaten far when fifth on his most recent visit to the venue, he'll again be ridden by Tiernan Power Roche, who claims a valuable 5lb. Runner-up on two of his last three starts, Sharetheknowledge could manage only fourth when sent off favourite at Limerick in May. Dropping in trip and with Darragh O'Keeffe again on board, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. A long-time maiden but a fine second on her debut for Aengus King at Cork recently, Chosen Shant warrants respect, while others for the shortlist are The Border Boy and the returning Cruisin Susan.

The locally-trained KATE ILL KNOW can score off a 3lb higher mark than winning over C&D last summer

4/1(+27%) | (1) Alice Monet 4/1, Ideally suited by trip when winning a claimer at Fairyhouse over 10f by 10l last time; possibly bit flattered by well treated for handicap debut; big chance if handling the easier ground Easily got off the mark in an optional claiming race over 1m2f; respected on h'cap debut. |

2nd (4) (5/1 -82%)Refreshment |
5/1(-82%) | (4) Refreshment 5/1, Scored by 2l off 71 over 8f at Cork penultimate start; tenth beaten 5 1/2l off 79 last time where met trouble; trainer in form; could bounce back Won handicaps over 1m here and at Cork last month before a lesser effort at the Curragh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (15/8 -56%)Onemoredance |
15/8(-56%) | (3) Onemoredance 15/8, Raced freely when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 76 here last time; hugely progressive on varying ground; could figure once again Is 2lb well in after her C&D win last week; handles soft so has to be taken seriously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (13/8 +54%)Dancing Teapot |
13/8(+54%) | (2) Dancing Teapot 13/8, Hung, badly hampered key stage and not given a hard time when beaten beaten 7l in a handicap over 8f at Ascot last time; usually consistent; top jockey back on board; consistent at 1m on sound surface, remain competitive up in trip Never involved in a hot handicap at Royal Ascot but this is much less competitive. |

ONEMOREDANCE is proven on slower ground and has a shot at the hat-trick. She runs under the 7lb penalty for winning over C&D last week and has certainly hit a rich vein of form in winning three of her last five races. There is pace in this race and it could set up nicely for Refreshment, who came from well back to strike at this track and at Cork in June. He has never raced over 1m1f before, but looks worth a shot at it the way he finished off those aforementioned races. Dancing Teapot has plenty of form to be a threat if handling cut in the ground, while Alice Monet was a runaway winner in Fairyhouse but that was in claiming company.

A chance is taken on DANCING TEAPOT to bounce back from an ordinary run in a much stronger race at Royal Ascot.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (14/1 -155%)Cheshire Belle |
14/1(-155%) | (5) Cheshire Belle 14/1, Poor on debut when beaten 27l at Haydock in May; little two runs since, including comfortably held in a novice over 10f at Windsor last time; significant jockey booking in David Egan: trainer going well Best run when sixth (10f, good to soft) on second start; big step up in trip; h'cap debut. |

A confident vote goes to KITTY FOYLE. Daisy Hitchins' mare was narrowly defeated by an in-form rival over C&D last month and given that she is able to compete from an unchanged mark, she should be capable of going one place better. Captain Brett has been in fine form himself, though, and he could mount a stern challenge. Market support for handicap debutant Cheshire Belle, who takes a marked step up in trip, would be noteworthy.

Kitty Foyle narrowly failed to nab a subsequent winner over C&D last time but DEEP WATER BAY retains potential and gets the vote.

18/1(-177%) | (8) Nazron 18/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 82 over 6f at Chester last time; this tougher; in good form prior; goes on any; each-way shout Close up in Chester sprints the last twice, the penultimate one on soft. |

11th (12) (16/1 +36%)Monks Dream |
16/1(+36%) | (12) Monks Dream 16/1, Below par beaten 3l off 77 at Hamilton last time; better form on AW; top jockey back on board; step forward needed on turf form All three wins have come on Newcastle's Tapeta; opposable on turf exploits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (16/1 -14%)Accrual |
16/1(-14%) | (7) Accrual 16/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; usually consistent; returning from long layoff; likely to need this Dual winner on a competitive mark but an 11-month absence has to reduce his appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (6/1 +8%)Brooklyn Nine Nine |
6/1(+8%) | (9) Brooklyn Nine Nine 6/1, Shuffled back early and probably bit better than bare form landing a handicap by 1/2l off 77 at Hamilton last time; usually held up; well treated on old form; not out of it Dual AW winner who finally got off the mark on grass when finishing well at Hamilton. |

The vote goes to SOLAR ACLAIM, who was able to record an impressive win at Chester last month. An 8lb rise doesn't look harsh given the manner of victory and, with an ability to handle softening ground conditions, he can go well again. Jer Batt wasn't disgraced when sent off favourite for the Dash at Epsom so is respected from 2lb lower. Nazron was slightly unfortunate on the Roodee latest and should not be overlooked, while Existent is more than likely to be on the premises.

There's a lot to like about JER BATT (nap) who has the form to feature (including on soft) and he's had excuses the last twice.

125/1(-681%) | (11) Lady Leanora 125/1, Down the field in a handicap over 12f at Tramore most recent; out of form in both codes; opposed Flat winner in the past but recent form poor. |

MENAS MIRACLE might be able to follow up her recent course win. The locally-trained six-year-old finished an encouraging second on her handicap debut at Tramore prior to her breakthrough success and, although now up to a mark of 88, she might still be ahead of the handicapper. Pleasureofpressure was fourth to the selection when last seen and could get a lot closer with a swing in the weights. A winner at Down Royal in May before disappointing on his latest start at Limerick, Quinn The Eskimo might bounce back with Eoin Staples claiming a valuable 7lb. Kaikoura brings further course form to the table, with this Philip Dempsey-trained bay a good third on his most recent start.

Recent C&D winner MENAS MIRACLE is worth staying with despite a 10lb rise, this being only her third handicap

3/1(+14%) | (2) Mister Adam 3/1, Well backed when winning a handicap here over 12f by a short-head last time; previous maiden form franked; steadily progressive; off a short-break; could figure Won a 1m4f handicap at this track last time; the form of that race isn't all that strong. |

Waldgeist filly FLORESTA is going the right way after drawing nicely clear over an extended 1m3f in Limerick. She ought to appreciate this staying test. Mister Adam used every yard of 1m4f to get up by a short head at this venue in May and has to come under consideration. Red King looked like a winner in waiting when he travelled into the lead at Navan. He was outgunned inside the final furlong, though, and a tongue-strap and cheekpieces are reached for. Fervent showed an aptitude for Fairyhouse in clocking up a pair of victories there in June and shouldn't be underestimated, while Marazion and C&D winner Happy Pharoah are far from out of contention.

MARAZION is the most interesting in this, having been beaten only 5l by the subsequently Group 2-placed Galveston last time.

3rd (8) (8/1 -7%)Showyoutheropes |
8/1(-7%) | (8) Showyoutheropes 8/1, One of better efforts of career thus far when visored and up in trip beaten 4l off 68 at Yarmouth last time; suited by 10f and a sound surface; head gear needs to work again; hard to recommend Two best runs came at Yarmouth, including a respectable third up to this trip last time. |

4th (7) (7/2 +50%)Premier |
7/2(+50%) | (7) Premier 7/2, Ended last season by getting off the mark at Bath with a narrow win over 8; third last couple of starts, including beaten 2 1/2l off 71 from 20/1 at Sandown last time; trainer in form; in the mix Solid third at around 1m2f at Chester and Sandown (both good) the last twice; player again. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (11/1 -38%)Drumstick |
11/1(-38%) | (5) Drumstick 11/1, 0:12; probably best efffort yet when raced freely but only beaten by 1/2l off 64 over 8f at Kempton last time; Rab Havlin a significant jockey booking; value selection based on balance of form 0-12 but solid second at Kempton (also 1m, AW) a fortnight ago; goes up in trip. |

Dropping in trip worked the oracle for SHADY BAY, who bounded clear to record a five-length success under Alec Voikhansky at Nottingham. Tom Ward's filly was hit with a 6lb rise for that performance, but it may well prove lenient. Finn Russell struggled over hurdles latest, but he will appreciate a return to the level and is respected along with Premier, who arrives having finished a creditable third at Sandown last month.

The shrewd connections of LIGHTNING TOUCH clearly feel it's worth persevering and she earns the vote on this handicap debut.

7th (3) (12/1 0%)Asgard's Captain |
12/1(0%) | (3) Asgard's Captain 12/1, Yard won this last year; game 4l third in a handicap over 1m4f at Newmarket (July) most recent run; soft ground a concern; remains a threat As good as ever this season but has stamina to prove back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (6/1 +8%)Who's Glen |
6/1(+8%) | (1) Who's Glen 6/1, Below par down the field in a handicap over 2m at Newcastle most recent; in good form prior; conditions suit; chance Creditable fifth in Chester Cup and had excuse in Northumberland Plate latest; dangerous. |

9th (7) (16/1 -167%)Tryfan |
16/1(-167%) | (7) Tryfan 16/1, Well backed when scored by 1 1/2l off 74 at Salisbury penultimate start; second beaten a length off 79 last time; in good form; chance Second of 19 in the Northumberland Vase and he's respected back on turf. |

Slight preference is for TRYFAN, who travelled like the winner through much of the Northumberland Vase before being worn down late. Dropping back to 1m6f should suit ideally and he is narrowly preferred to Pole Star, who has won two of his last three and has been raised 5lb for his most recent success at Haydock. King's Scholar is better than he showed at Hamilton latest, while Who's Glen attempts to bounce back to the form that saw him finish fifth in the Chester Cup.

This is highly competitive but MILLER SPIRIT looks interesting back on soft ground and he gets the vote ahead of Tryfan.

Completely tailed off at Clonmel, it was subsequently reported that ALASKAN VIEW had blood in her mouth post-race having bitten her tongue. Prior to that effort, the locally-trained five-year-old had shown a decent level of ability and, if recapturing her best form, she can be expected to go close. Coming from the point-to-point fields, Mistyburn and Kershaw are both of interest. The former is out of six-time winner Queen Althea and joined Philip Rothwell after winning at Necarne in May, while the latter was a good second on his sole start to date at Loughanmore. Kool Runnings, Governors Rock and Bradley's Row are also respected.

Alaskan View has the best form but isn't progressing and is taken on here by KOOL RUNNINGS

Darragh O'Sullivan's 7lb claim has MAKAIAH on an attractive mark for this staying test. She is effectively racing off 60 and that is just 2lb higher than when she won at Navan in May. Soft ground holds no fears for her. Jockey Robert Whearty is having a very good season and The Truant, in a first-time visor, can get in the mix. Make Good cruised home by almost 10 lengths at Tramore and is likely to be popular off 8lb higher. Bottom-weight Ranting And Raven would be a player if handling slower ground, while Open To Question is unexposed on the Flat and could get involved.

1st (3) (14/1 +44%)Raintown |
14/1(+44%) | (3) Raintown 14/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton last time; generally out of form; best form on the AW, likes it particularly at Lingfield; outsider at best Yet to finish placed after nine starts on turf; has been in no sort of form of late. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (13/8 +46%)Naasma |
13/8(+46%) | (4) Naasma 13/8, Back to winning ways when landed a handicap by 3l off 66 over 11f at Windsor last time; has been in the fram a few times this season, including 2l second at Windsor penultimate start; the pick on balance of form Arrives off the back of an easy win round Windsor, a course she likes; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (28/1 -40%)Raging Al |
28/1(-40%) | (1) Raging Al 28/1, Lightly raced, but some very little in four starts to date; 18l adrift on reappearance at Beverly and similar form when ground probably too testing well beaten in a handicap at Chester latest; plenty more needed Yard broke a long losing run with Flat runners on Monday; surprise to see him follow suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 +50%)Didaar |
4/1(+50%) | (2) Didaar 4/1, Yet to get off the mark in 10 starts; best effort this year on reappearance when 2l third over 10 at Redcard; did not get a clear run beaten 5l in a handicap over 10f at Salisbury last time; cheekpieces first time; in-form David Egan booked; outside chance Inconsistent maiden who's tried in a third form of headgear; stamina a worry on this going. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (18/1 +45%)Sweet Nightingale |
18/1(+45%) | (9) Sweet Nightingale 18/1, Ideally suited by trip beaten 2l in a close field finish off 61 at Chepstow last time; yet to get off the mark in three starts on turf this season; value selection based on balance of form Allowed her own way in a small field latest and may not be wise to take that at face value. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (20/1 -25%)See The Green |
20/1(-25%) | (6) See The Green 20/1, Every chance, ran to form 5 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Chepstow most recent run; off a short-break; last turf wub cane over 12f at Catterick in May 2024; fair bit to find Cheekpieces off, back from three months off, having shown more over hurdles when last seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (7/4 +71%)Meleri |
7/4(+71%) | (5) Meleri 7/4, Suited by return to 12f scored by 1 1/2l off 65 at Lingfield penultimate start; third beaten 5 1/2l off 68 last time; been in consistent form; not ruled out entirely all things considered Weighted to her best but tonight's conditions look more suitable than at Newmarket. |

It looks best to side with MONKMOOR PIP, who won with any amount in hand at Lingfield recently. Ashley Lewis' handy 7lb claim offsets the 6lb rise incurred for that success and this represents a fine opportunity for him to follow up. Naasma was also a commanding winner last time out and must be given the utmost respect, while the consistent Meleri appeals most of the remainder.

This can go to MONKMOOR PIP (nap), who's only run twice on turf/over middle distances and could be capable of better.

7th (2) (13/2 +19%)Claymore |
13/2(+19%) | (2) Claymore 13/2, Landed a handicap by 2 1/4l off 91 over 1m4f at Newmarket (July) last time; Group 3 winner over 1m2f in 2022; latest win could spark something; in the mix Capitalised on reduced mark at Newmarket 12 days ago and a 4lb rise might not stop him. |

GINCIDENT gamely stuck his neck out to beat a subsequent scorer at Beverley and the five-year-old, who has been a model of consistency this season, is taken to go in again off 3lb higher. Back to winning ways over this distance at Wetherby last month, Brasil Power must enter calculations, along with Claymore, who drops in trip having struck over 1m4f at Newmarket. Others to note include Andaleep, I Still Have Faith and Wave Rider.

The sole 3yo in the field is WAVE RIDER, who impressed in a maiden at Sandown last month and can follow up now back in a handicap.

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