1st (1) (9/4 +32%)Half Sovereign |
9/4(+32%) | (1) Half Sovereign 9/4, Yard has won 2 of last 10 renewals; ran to form landing a Newmarket handicap by 3/4l off 80 last time. Suited by 7f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; may have plateaued. Won nursery at Newmarket last time, taking record to 4111; progressing well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/2 +36%)Gwen John |
7/2(+36%) | (6) Gwen John 7/2, Took time to balance but ran about to form when second, beaten a neck, in a 6f Carlisle novice latest. Trainer in form; suited by 6f, acts on fast ground; scope for a little more progress. Solid novice record (212); still open to further progress; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/1 +10%)Rogue Temptation |
9/1(+10%) | (4) Rogue Temptation 9/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 1/2l, in a 6f novice at Ripon latest. Suited by 6f and fast ground (low action); quite a small filly, mark looks fair. Form of latest novice effort has been boosted by the winner; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/1 -20%)Brisk Symphony |
9/1(-20%) | (3) Brisk Symphony 9/1, Only did enough when clear winning a Newbury novice over 6f by 2 1/4l last time. Steadily progressive and off a short break; suited by 6f and fast ground, with more to come. Defied a penalty in Newbury novice contest two months ago; improving filly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (12/1 +40%)Goldie Bear |
12/1(+40%) | (12) Goldie Bear 12/1, Hung on rising ground but ran to form when beaten 4 1/2l in a Newmarket nursery (July) over longer trip. May prefer 7f, acts on good and good to firm; consistent sort. Came up short switched to nursery level last time; opposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (12/1 +14%)Love Olivia |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Love Olivia 12/1, Probably went too hard early when beaten 7l in the Dragon Stakes (Listed) over 5f at Sandown last time. Off a short break; suited by 5f and a sound surface. Quite small and form trending the wrong way. Doesn't seem to be crying out for this longer trip on debut for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (18/1 -13%)Siouxpersonic |
18/1(-13%) | (10) Siouxpersonic 18/1, Caught too far back but finished as if 6f would suit better when second, beaten 1 1/2l, in a 5f Thirsk novice latest. Effective at 5f, should stay further, acts on fast ground; open to improvement. Eyecatching second in latest novice start; could take another step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (22/1 -38%)March Ahead |
22/1(-38%) | (8) March Ahead 22/1, Improved front-running to win a Carlisle novice over 6f by a neck last time. Bred for 7f, effective at 6f, acts on fast ground but has soft ground action; fair mark. Suited by change of tactics (made all) at Carlisle; may build on that win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (18/1 -13%)Bearin Up |
18/1(-13%) | (13) Bearin Up 18/1, Produced similar form to first three starts when third, beaten 2 1/4l, in a Ripon maiden over 6f last time. Effective at 5/6f, acts on good and fast; fair mark. Has made a consistent start to her career; could go well off bottom weight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (11/1 +8%)Concert |
11/1(+8%) | (7) Concert 11/1, Ran about to expectations and not hard ridden when fourth, beaten 7 1/4l, over 6f at Chester last time. Trainer in form; effective at 6f and fast ground may suit best; little more to come. Came up short last time; may still do better but opening mark seems tough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (33/1 -65%)If I Could Dream |
33/1(-65%) | (9) If I Could Dream 33/1, Raced too freely when 5 1/4l third in a Beverley novice last time. Suited by 7f, acts on good to soft and good; likeable type who needs to settle better. Has reasonably consistent form but needs to show improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (16/1 -14%)Miss Piggle |
16/1(-14%) | (11) Miss Piggle 16/1, Looked beaten on merit when fourth, 5 1/2l back, in a Carlisle nursery over 6f latest. Significant jockey booking; effective at 5/6f, acts on good and fast ground. Very game but current mark stiff. Had wind surgery since last run and Oisin Murphy is booked; may improve. |

This can go the way of HALF SOVEREIGN, who continues to go from strength to strength and has been raised 4lb for her most recent success over 7f at Newmarket. Her dam won on heavy ground, which bodes well in regards to potential underfoot conditions, and Karl Burke's filly is preferred to Gwen John, who was narrowly denied in her bid to land a double at Carlisle last month. The hat-trick seeking Brisk Symphony is another to consider.

The two suggestions against the field are ROGUE TEMPTATION and Siouxpersonic, both interesting nursery debutantes for Ed Bethell.

1st (9) (7/2 +46%)Lady Kodiac |
7/2(+46%) | (9) Lady Kodiac 7/2, Promising debut when third, beaten 3l in a maiden over 5f at Ripon. Effective at 5f, knew her job first time but should improve. Promising third on Ripon debut and she's a likely improver on this step up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (14) (6/4 +45%)Zen Diva |
6/4(+45%) | (14) Zen Diva 6/4, Green under pressure but ran well for a long way on debut when 4l fourth in a maiden at Newbury. Effective at 6f and should improve significantly with the experience for a top yard. Promising fourth on Newbury debut and she should improve for that experience; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (12/1 +25%)Hamda's Joy |
12/1(+25%) | (6) Hamda's Joy 12/1, 18 Jan; 62,000gns breeze-up purchase by Kodi Bear; half-sister to Elsie's Ruan, smart at 7f; tough enough task on debut Drawn out wide on debut but she's well bred and needs checking in market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (33/1 -18%)Whiskey Kisses |
33/1(-18%) | (13) Whiskey Kisses 33/1, Green on modest debut when beaten 8l in a maiden over 5f at Chepstow. Wide draw but should improve a little with experience and likely to stay 6f. Ran green on Chepstow debut but she needs major improvement on this step up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/2 +9%)Exhibitioning |
5/2(+9%) | (4) Exhibitioning 5/2, Forced wide and improved from debut, just beaten by a useful rival when second, a length down in a novice at Windsor. Effective at 6f, should improve further and likely to get 7f in time. Sets the standard on her second at Windsor and she's open to more progress on AW debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (300/1 -500%)Lady Lysandra |
300/1(-500%) | (10) Lady Lysandra 300/1, Showed slight improvement from debut when beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden over 5f at Southwell. Hood first time; effective at 5f and likely to stay 6f in time. Well held in both her runs and nurseries will be more suitable; hood added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (25/1 -108%)Daretobedifferent |
25/1(-108%) | (3) Daretobedifferent 25/1, Had every chance but finished below form when fourth, beaten 4l in a novice over 5f at Windsor latest. Cheekpieces first time. Suited by 6f and a sound surface; generally consistent. Consistent form in six starts but has something to find on the figures; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (40/1 -21%)Oh So Perfect |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Oh So Perfect 40/1, Ran to the level of debut form when beaten 8l in a maiden at Chepstow. Cheekpieces first time; trainer in form. Effective at 6f and looks one for low-grade handicaps. Well held in two 6f events on turf, with a best RPR of 50; cheekpieces are now tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (22/1 -193%)Gnocchi |
22/1(-193%) | (5) Gnocchi 22/1, Keen and ran to the level of debut form when fourth, beaten 5 1/4l in a maiden at Newbury. Off a short break; effective at 6-7f; likely needs a drop in grade. Ran well for long way at Newbury (6f) and has each-way claims if she can build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (16/1 -129%)Romantic Twilight |
16/1(-129%) | (12) Romantic Twilight 16/1, Outpaced and disappointing when beaten 4 1/4l in a novice at Newbury last time. Usually consistent and suited by 6f and a sound surface; clearly very useful but inconsistent. Mixed form so far but her Newmarket second puts her in the picture; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (150/1 -838%)Jenny Jerome |
150/1(-838%) | (7) Jenny Jerome 150/1, Improved slightly when dropped in trip, finishing 2l third in a novice over 5f at Nottingham most recently. Effective at 5-6f but more required to get off the mark. Promising third at Nottingham last time and she's open to more progress back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (400/1 -300%)Blue Mountains |
400/1(-300%) | (1) Blue Mountains 400/1, Improved from debut when comfortably held in a novice over 8f at Lingfield last time. Effective at 6-7f and looks one for low-grade nurseries. Beaten long way on Windsor debut (6f) and same story at Lingfield (7.6f) last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (125/1 -279%)Caraluna |
125/1(-279%) | (2) Caraluna 125/1, Modest debut, beaten 10l in a maiden over 5f at Southwell. Should improve for further than 5f. Made a low-key start at Southwell last month and needs major improvement upped in trip. |

Lady Kodiac ran well at Ripon to finish third, beaten two and a half lengths at the line, and on breeding she should be better suited by the extra furlong. Exhibitioning improved for her debut fifth with a length second at Windsor last month and she may be the biggest danger to JUMEIRAH SANDS. Supported from 28/1 to 7/2 on her Wolverhampton introduction, the plunge went astray after a slow start but she is clearly thought to be a lot better than that.

The vote goes to ZEN DIVA, who made a promising start when a clear fourth at Newbury and should improve for that experience.

1st (2) (10/1 +0%)Runswick |
10/1(+0%) | (2) Runswick 10/1, Showed some progress from debut, tiring late when beaten 7l in a novice over 8f at Windsor. Bred for middle distances and may need more time. Step forward when sixth at Windsor (1m, soft) ten days ago; drop back in trip should help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/6 +0%)St Anton |
5/6(+0%) | (4) St Anton 5/6, Very green but showed plenty of promise when third, beaten 3l, in a Newmarket (July) novice on debut. Effective at 7f and that debut form looks strong. Should improve plenty for the experience and can win soon. Promise when third at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago; sets the standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/5 +70%)Edwin Hubble |
6/5(+70%) | (1) Edwin Hubble 6/5, Green and not knocked about when beaten 6l in a novice at Newbury on debut. Trainer in form. Likely to want 8-10f in time and should improve markedly with experience. 18-1 and late gains for seventh of ten (7f, good to firm) on debut; a likely improver. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (40/1 -21%)Sail On Sailor |
40/1(-21%) | (3) Sail On Sailor 40/1, Too keen in front but travelled well for a time before finishing 10l down in a maiden at Kempton on debut. Effective at 7f and may improve a little if settling. Raced freely when sixth on debut (7f, AW; 80-1); will need a big step forward to figure. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (150/1 +0%)Parole Board |
150/1(+0%) | (6) Parole Board 150/1, Never involved on debut and well beaten in a 6f maiden at Lingfield. Yet to show anything. In rear throughout when 50-1 and beaten 14l on her introduction (6f, AW) eight days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (125/1 -89%)Saturday Again |
125/1(-89%) | (7) Saturday Again 125/1, Produced a modest effort when beaten 9l in a 6f maiden at Lingfield last time. Bred for 10f or further and has a good bit to prove. Very modest form in two AW starts (7f/6f), watching brief on turf debut. |

Red Tsarina built on her debut second to justify favouritism at Chelmsford, but she might find it tough under her penalty against ST ANTON. Richard Hannon's colt showed ability when finishing third on his introduction at Newmarket and it would be no surprise to see him take a big step forward. Edwin Hubble changed hands for 90,000gns as a yearling and is probably better than his seventh at Newbury.

St Anton (second choice) sets a solid standard on his debut third but EDWIN HUBBLE may well improve past him.

1st (22) (7/2 +50%)Calendar Girl |
7/2(+50%) | (22) Calendar Girl 7/2, Ran very similarly to debut when coming clear with the winner, second beaten 3/4l in a novice at Epsom latest. Suited by 7f, acts on a sound surface. Has a high cruising speed and looks a smart filly. Latest effort has been boosted; still open to progress; possibilities off low weight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (13/2 +7%)Song Of The Clyde |
13/2(+7%) | (10) Song Of The Clyde 13/2, Improved again up in class when winning a 2yo sales race at York over 6f by 3/4l last time. Steadily progressive. Suited by 6f, may get further, acts on a sound surface. Very game and may improve a little more. Successful in similar event at the York Ebor festival; improving colt; strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (14/1 +30%)Poatan |
14/1(+30%) | (9) Poatan 14/1, Benefited from a wind operation when winning a novice at Windsor over 6f by 3l last time, staying on well. Effective at 6f, will stay further, acts on any ground. Very game. Had wind surgery prior to Windsor success last time; may well progress further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/4 +36%)Brussels |
9/4(+36%) | (2) Brussels 9/4, Outstayed late when second beaten a length in the Churchill Stakes (Listed) at Tipperary latest. Effective at 6f, acts on good and good to firm. A big, attractive colt who can rate more highly back in trip. Ballydoyle colt who warrants respect on these terms; sire won this race in 2010. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (80/1 -100%)Gaga Mate |
80/1(-100%) | (3) Gaga Mate 80/1, Bit keen but ran to form when beaten 3l in a nursery over 5f at Beverley last time, having been in good form before. Effective at 5f and likely to stay 6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm. Consistent. Something to prove on first attempt beyond 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (22/1 -144%)Tadej |
22/1(-144%) | (1) Tadej 22/1, Raced too freely early when beaten 8l in a 2yo race over 6f at York last time. Suited by 6f and acts on any ground. High-class, needs to settle to bounce back. Below par in similar event last time but major player if rebounding; Group 3 winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (20) (4/1 +0%)Jel Pepper |
4/1(+0%) | (20) Jel Pepper 4/1, Made a lot of use of himself when fourth beaten 3l in an auction race over 6f at Naas latest. Effective at 6f, acts on any ground. Smart and can bounce back. Best of the low-drawn runners in Irish event last time; leading player at the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (40/1 +0%)Kamakameleon |
40/1(+0%) | (8) Kamakameleon 40/1, Ran to a similar level to previous start when beaten 6l in a 2yo sales race over 6f at York last time. Suited by 5f and acts on a sound surface. Ascot run may flatter. Ran respectably in the York sales race won by Song Of The Clyde; course winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (12/1 +52%)Battle Apple |
12/1(+52%) | (6) Battle Apple 12/1, Looked the winner everywhere except the line when not quite staying, beaten 1/2l in a novice at Ascot on debut. Off a short break. Showed lots of speed first time and likely improver back in trip. Promising second in Ascot novice event two months ago; improvement is plausible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (150/1 -50%)Blakefell |
150/1(-50%) | (7) Blakefell 150/1, Lost chance after a poor break and being restrained, beaten 5l in a maiden at Chelmsford on debut. Showed signs of ability and can improve markedly from that run. Brings the worst form, having recorded modest RPR in AW maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (19) (33/1 +0%)Golden Brown |
33/1(+0%) | (19) Golden Brown 33/1, Made too much use of himself when beaten 5l in a 2yo sales race over 6f at York last time. Effective at 5/6f and acts on easy ground. Consistent. Respectable sixth in the York sales race but looks held by Song Of The Clyde. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (50/1 -150%)Inca Heights |
50/1(-150%) | (15) Inca Heights 50/1, Finished strongly as if wanting further when second beaten 1 1/2l in a novice over 6f at Salisbury latest. Off a short break. Effective at 6f but 7f may suit better. Acts on a sound surface and open to improvement. Ran well under a penalty in Salisbury novice event last time; may rate higher still. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (18) (100/1 -100%)Cashbox |
100/1(-100%) | (18) Cashbox 100/1, Didn't stay after being made plenty of use of when fourth beaten 6l in a novice over 8f at Thirsk latest. Drawn wide in a large field. Effective at 7f on fast ground. Can improve if settling better. Has shown ability but faces a very difficult task on these terms. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (4) (100/1 -300%)Goldwork |
100/1(-300%) | (4) Goldwork 100/1, Didn't stay on heavy ground when down the field in a nursery over 7f at Goodwood most recently. Drawn wide in a large field. Suited by 6f, not proven at 7f, acts on good and fast ground. Game type. Physical tweak (gelded since last run) may enable a turnaround. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (16) (18/1 -50%)Rising Empire |
18/1(-50%) | (16) Rising Empire 18/1, Stable has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. Finished best after being outpaced early when beaten 3l in a 2yo race over 6f at Epsom last time, having been in good form before. Off a short break. Effective at 6f but wants a stiffer test, acts on any ground. More to come. Absent for three months but is still unexposed; yard won this race in 2019 and 2021. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (11) (150/1 -275%)Lady Britain |
150/1(-275%) | (11) Lady Britain 150/1, Benefited from a stiff finish when well on top late, winning a nursery at Beverley by 1 1/2l last time. Suited by a stiff 7f and a sound surface. Bit more to come. Class 6 nursery wins at Beverley the last twice; this is much harder. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (5) (33/1 -136%)Mr Seagull |
33/1(-136%) | (5) Mr Seagull 33/1, Ran a good race when second beaten 1 1/4l in a novice over 6f at Kempton latest. Effective at 6f and a bit further will suit. Acts on a sound surface. Likeable. Ran creditably on AW last week; this twice-raced colt remains open to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (17) (125/1 -150%)Ambishio |
125/1(-150%) | (17) Ambishio 125/1, Probably made a bit too much use of himself when beaten 3l in a nursery over 5f at Beverley last time. Effective at 5f on good and good to firm. Solid form. Holds weak claims on the balance of his 5f form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (14) (80/1 -142%)Bushwacker |
80/1(-142%) | (14) Bushwacker 80/1, Ran to expectations when second beaten a head in a novice over 6f at Carlisle latest. Cheekpieces first time. Effective at 6f, acts on good and fast ground. Fairly useful. Close second last time; fitting of headgear needs to prompt further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (21) (100/1 -52%)Lion Of Mali |
100/1(-52%) | (21) Lion Of Mali 100/1, Never travelled when beaten 5l in a maiden at Chelmsford on debut. Trainer in form. Drawn wide in a large field. Sprint-bred but showed little pace on debut. Showed a modest level of form in AW maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (13) (40/1 -150%)Slay Queen |
40/1(-150%) | (13) Slay Queen 40/1, Well backed and improved with give in the ground when winning a nursery at Goodwood over 6f by 1 1/2l last time. Progressive. Suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface, also handles testing conditions. Goodwood nursery win last week brought up a 6f double; progressing steadily. |

The Owen Burrows stable has an excellent record here and CALENDAR GIRL catches the eye following a creditable second at Epsom behind a subsequent winner. Dropping in trip should suit and she may have too much for Irish raider Brussels, who brings strong form to the table. Similar comments apply to Jel Pepper, while Song of The Clyde looks to build on his success in a similar race at York last month.

Assuming there are no issues regarding the draw this time, JEL PEPPER may well be the answer. Brussels is feared.

1st (5) (9/4 +50%)New York Minute |
9/4(+50%) | (5) New York Minute 9/4, Lifted the pace too early in first-time blinkers and was comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time; usually consistent; effective 12-16f; still early days and can bounce back. Went off too hard in blinkers (retained) when remote sixth on AW latest. |

2nd (6) (10/3 +5%)Cardinal Point |
10/3(+5%) | (6) Cardinal Point 10/3, Back to form on AW when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off 53 over 12f at Lingfield last time; suited by 10f; unexposed on AW; inconsistent. Won comfortably back over 1m4f back on AW last week; should stay 1m6f; bold bid likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 +36%)Is I Right |
9/2(+36%) | (3) Is I Right 9/2, Forced wide from a poor draw when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap over 12f at Wolverhampton latest; significant jockey booking; effective at 12f; mark looks stiff enough. Better than result back on AW and being eased 2lb can only help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/4 -69%)Golden Garden |
11/4(-69%) | (4) Golden Garden 11/4, Quickened clear readily when landing a handicap by 3l off 64 at Wolverhampton last time; effective 12-14f; progressing and remains on a workable mark. Improved tackling 1m6f for the first time when making all by 3l at Wolver; 6lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 -33%)Beggarman |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Beggarman 12/1, Returned to form off a reduced mark, scoring by 4l off 56 at Ffos Las three starts back; ran to form when fourth beaten 6 1/4l off 64 last time; trainer in form; effective 14-16f; in great heart, bit to come, goes well at Chelmsford. Two turf wins this year; only fair fourth on Lingfield AW latest but he goes well here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (18/1 -157%)Greek Giant |
18/1(-157%) | (1) Greek Giant 18/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off 71 over 2m at Lingfield last time; off a long absence; has a squeak. Off for 469 days but he did win over 2m here on his 2024 reappearance. |

BEGGARMAN may be an eight-year-old but with six career wins, three of them here and two off higher marks, he has every chance. Fourth at Lingfield over two miles last week, he could get back to winning ways. Golden Garden made all to score by three lengths over this trip at Wolverhampton and looks a serious rival carrying a 6lb penalty. Greek Giant is one to watch on his first start since a Lingfield third in May 2024.

Golden Garden and CARDINAL POINT (nap) arrive on the back of comfortable AW wins last week, with the latter preferred.

1st (5) (7/2 +46%)Kisskodi |
7/2(+46%) | (5) Kisskodi 7/2, Well backed when winning by 1 1/4l off 73 over 6f here three starts back. Had too much to do when fourth, beaten 3l off 79 last time in a race dominated from the front. Significant jockey booking. Effective at 6f, suited by a decent pace and steadily progressive. Three 6f handicap wins earlier, including here; failed to find much over 7f in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/1 -29%)Stenmark |
9/1(-29%) | (6) Stenmark 9/1, Improved down in grade, winning a handicap by 1 1/2l off 74 at Southwell last time. Drawn wide. Effective at 7f, also acts on AW and may stay 1m. Progressing and remains on a fair mark. Improved form when winning on Southwell AW (7f) for new yard; up 4lb; bred to do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (17/2 +39%)Marlay Park |
17/2(+39%) | (9) Marlay Park 17/2, Won this race in 2021 and 2023. Outpaced and comfortably held in a Chepstow handicap last time. Suited by 7f, acts on any going and is an Epsom specialist. Could bounce back but a losing run is a concern. Won two of last four runnings, 2nd in another; mixed this year, including over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 -118%)Orbaan |
12/1(-118%) | (2) Orbaan 12/1, Had too much to do when half a length second off 77 over 8f at Pontefract last time. Drawn wide. Effective at 7f-8f, best on a sound surface. Back in form and well handicapped on old efforts. In the frame in 4 of 5 course starts; in form but taking on progressive rivals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/1 +36%)Jersey Maverick |
9/1(+36%) | (7) Jersey Maverick 9/1, Quickened clear when winning cosily by 4 1/4l off 65 here on his penultimate start. Made too much use of when ninth, beaten 9 1/4l off 75 last time. Drawn wide. Suited by 7f and probably acts on any going, but mark looks stiff. Came clear for C&D win in July but went up 10lb and well held since; same mark today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (9/2 +10%)Valley Ofthe Kings |
9/2(+10%) | (3) Valley Ofthe Kings 9/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 6f-7f on a sound surface. In good form and not fully exposed. Had only four runs, just edging Mafnood for 2nd on handicap debut over C&D; could improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (28/1 +15%)Land Of Magic |
28/1(+15%) | (10) Land Of Magic 28/1, Another poor effort when beaten 9l in a Brighton handicap last time and generally out of form. Suited by 6f-7f and acts on any going. Has been boiling over of late. Winner of one of two C&D starts but in ordinary form since Lingfield win in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (50/1 -25%)Otago |
50/1(-25%) | (12) Otago 50/1, Stable has won the last three runnings of this race. Never involved when beaten 6 1/4l in a Brighton handicap last time and generally out of form. Suited by 7f, acts on any going, likes soft and is a Brighton specialist, but looking unwilling. Two C&D wins; ground too quick in 2024; won 2 soft-ground races last autumn; rain helpful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (18/1 -80%)Arctician |
18/1(-80%) | (4) Arctician 18/1, Quickened and ran to form with a positive ride, winning a handicap by 3/4l off 71 over 8f at Lingfield last time. Suited by 7f and AW, just about stays 1m. Freshened by a layoff but the handicapper may intervene. Seven AW wins, including 1m latest; 0-13 on turf; well held in this race in 2022 and 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (13/2 -30%)Cypriot Diaspora |
13/2(-30%) | (8) Cypriot Diaspora 13/2, Raised 5lb but improved on recent form when making all, landing a handicap by 1l off 68 at Ffos Las last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 6f-7f, suited by cut and acts on good. In form and still on a workable mark. Won last 2 starts at Ffos Las (about 7f); successful off this mark in 2024; can go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (12/1 +40%)Future Cutlet |
12/1(+40%) | (11) Future Cutlet 12/1, May have found the ground too quick when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Usually consistent and returns from a short break. Suited by 7f and appears to prefer some ease in the ground. Won 7f maiden on soft in Ireland as 3yo; not looked well handicapped for this yard since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (7/1 -40%)Mafnood |
7/1(-40%) | (1) Mafnood 7/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 5l in a handicap here down in trip on latest run. Effective from 7f to 10f. On a long losing run but the handicapper has eased the mark and he is running into form. Some good form in defeat this year, including C&D, and should be thereabouts. |

Cypriot Diaspora completed a C&D double at Ffos Las and is likely to have her supporters, but a further 3lb rise might open the door for VALLEY OFTHE KINGS. Dylan Cunha's four-year-old had Mafnood just behind when filling the runner-up spot in this grade over C&D and may have more to offer on just his second handicap outing. With a similar performance, he could be the one to beat.

Cypriot Diaspora has hat-trick hopes but STENMARK made a winning start for his new yard on the AW and can improve further.

1st (1) (5/1 +29%)Aylin |
5/1(+29%) | (1) Aylin 5/1, Yard has won two of the last ten runnings; finished 2 1/2l third in the Prestige Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) over 7f at Goodwood last time. Steadily progressive, stays 7f and likely to improve for 1m; ultra-game and capable of further progress. Ties in with Moon Target on Prestige running last time; yard has won this race twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/1 -22%)Pacific Mission |
11/1(-22%) | (3) Pacific Mission 11/1, Travelled strongly, led with ears pricked and went away to win a novice at Kempton over 7f by 2 1/2l last time. Trainer in form. Should stay 1m, handles a sound surface; honest type who is open to improvement. Juddmonte filly who may well build on her Kempton AW win and improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (13/2 -8%)Sugar Island |
13/2(-8%) | (6) Sugar Island 13/2, Well backed but made too much use of and finished 6l behind in the Newtownanner Stud Stakes (Group 3) at The Curragh last time. Effective at 7f, bred for further, may prefer some give; still capable of improvement. Disappointing last time but this well-bred Ballydoyle filly could easily rebound. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/1 -13%)Rose Ghaiyyath |
9/1(-13%) | (4) Rose Ghaiyyath 9/1, Made an excellent debut, winning a competitive sales race by a short head over 7f at Deauville. Bred to stay 10f and handles soft ground; open to improvement. Held on only narrowly in newcomers' race at Deauville but is open to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (33/1 -32%)Timeforshowcasing |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Timeforshowcasing 33/1, Very disappointing when beaten 9l in the Lowther Stakes (Group 2) over 6f at York last time. Effective at 6f on a sound surface; a big, quite attractive filly with something to prove now. Came up well short in the Lowther, exposing her limitations to some extent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (13/2 +19%)Venetian Lace |
13/2(+19%) | (9) Venetian Lace 13/2, Probably went too slow when 3/4l third in the Sweet Solera Stakes (Group 3) over 7f at Newmarket (July) last time. Has a top course jockey booked. Middle-distance bred, acts on fast ground; a big, attractive filly with scope to rate higher. Has acquitted herself well in notable races since debut win; major contender on form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (11/10 +51%)Moon Target |
11/10(+51%) | (2) Moon Target 11/10, Shaped as though further would suit when second, beaten 3/4l, in the Prestige Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) over 7f at Goodwood latest. Effective at 7f, bred for 10-12f, handles both easy and fast ground; very game with more to come. Gained two emphatic wins before running well in the Prestige Stakes; leading player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (80/1 -142%)Swift Winds |
80/1(-142%) | (7) Swift Winds 80/1, Produced a good effort when second, beaten a neck, in a novice at Goodwood on latest start. Effective at 7/8f, acts on fast ground; a small, strong filly who suits sharp tracks. Went close at Goodwood last time but looks well below Group class. |

A prestigious race which has produced some top-class fillies in recent years and this season's renewal can go the way of the progressive MOON TARGET. The daughter of Cracksman didn't seem to handle the track at Goodwood last time out, but still ran well to finish second behind a talented rival and her two wins prior to that had been impressive. Arriving here on the back of a determined debut success at Deauville, Rose Ghaiyyath is likely to be thereabouts, as well as Venetian Lace, who brings a strong level of form to the table.

The biggest form contenders are MOON TARGET, Aylin and Venetian Lace. A few of the others bring potential.

9/4(+55%) | (5) Startling 9/4, Ran to form when beaten 1/2l off 59 at Newcastle last time; wide draw; suited by 5f and an AW specialist; on a good mark and in form. Three AW wins at 5f as 2yo, including C&D; in good form; close up on Tuesday; thereabouts. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 +0%)Cabeza De Llave |
9/2(+0%) | (3) Cabeza De Llave 9/2, Poorly placed to challenge but ran to form when beaten a length off 58 at Windsor last time; wide draw; acts on any surface; now down to a workable mark. In form on turf; 3-8 over C&D and 3lb lower than latest win here but drawn high. |

4th (8) (10/1 +17%)Chasing Gold |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (28/1 -211%)Dubai Magic |
28/1(-211%) | (10) Dubai Magic 28/1, Returned to form down in grade when beaten a short head off 52 here last time; effective at 5-6f on AW; unreliable maiden. 0-14 but likes the AW and involved in several close finishes on sand, including C&D latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (2/1 +80%)Dark Side Prince |
2/1(+80%) | (2) Dark Side Prince 2/1, Too keen when back up in trip, ran to form beaten 2l off 60 over 6f at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 5-6f, best at 5f on AW; in decent form and on a fair mark. Five C&D wins, three in 2024; can be involved now returned to best trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (11/1 -29%)Flicka's Girl |
11/1(-29%) | (4) Flicka's Girl 11/1, Had a bit in hand when scoring by 1/4l off 54 at Wolverhampton penultimate start; forced to switch and ran to form when third beaten 3l off 60 last time; effective 5-6f on AW; in good form of late. Likes Tapeta, made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton (5f) in August; never nearer at Lingfield since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (28/1 -100%)She Went Whoosh |
28/1(-100%) | (7) She Went Whoosh 28/1, Did plenty early when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here last time; off a short break; effective at 5f, best on AW; out of form since her spring win. Broke duck on Lingfield AW (5f) in April; lost some impetus since; off since June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (16/1 -14%)Commendation |
16/1(-14%) | (9) Commendation 16/1, Never threatened when beaten 4l off 57 over 6f at Lingfield last time; usually held up; effective 5-6f on AW; inconsistent with slow starts a serious issue. Winning yard debut (5f) in February; hasn't pulled up any trees since at that trip or 6f. |

Sir Rodneyredblood won this in 2022 and gets to race off 2lb lower. He could run into a place, but DUBAI MAGIC might be the one after finishing a short-head second over C&D last month. Only upped 1lb, she sits at the bottom of the handicap and can take full advantage. Startling is yet to win this year, but she may run another big race after a sequence of solid places.

Startling can go well again but perhaps this is the day things fall right for DUBAI MAGIC, only just denied over C&D in August.

1st (2) (4/1 +43%)Double Red |
4/1(+43%) | (2) Double Red 4/1, May have found the ground too soft when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Sandown last time. Effective at 10f, suited by a sound surface, may not handle soft; mark looks about right. Creditable third (good to firm) in August; poor effort (soft) latest & wouldn't want rain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (20/1 -67%)Prince Rasam |
20/1(-67%) | (4) Prince Rasam 20/1, Needed the run and went well to a point before being beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Effective at 10f on AW, could build on reappearance. Beat a good one on 2yo debut but hasn't gone on; watch the market on this stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/1 +25%)Arkendale |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Arkendale 9/1, Continued in poor form, down the field in a handicap over 8f at Sandown most recently. Generally out of form; usually held up; effective at 10f, suited by cut; regressive since returning from hurdling. Modest since leaving Ed Bethell one year ago; well handicapped if he can get his mojo back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7/1 +22%)Questionable |
7/1(+22%) | (3) Questionable 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Generally out of form; effective 8-10f, suited by cut, acts on good. In moderate form but handicapper relenting. Poor April return followed by two fifth-place finishes; might be running into form though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (14/1 -75%)Racing Demon |
14/1(-75%) | (7) Racing Demon 14/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off 60 at Brighton last time. Visor first time; trainer in form. Effective 8-10f, acts on any ground; back in form and on a workable mark. Knocking on door in last 2 months; can miss the break; still respected in first-time visor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (5/1 +29%)Roman Secret |
5/1(+29%) | (10) Roman Secret 5/1, Ran to form when 7l third in a handicap at Nottingham on most recent run. Effective at 10f, acts on any ground; consistent. 2 respectable runs since joining this yard; bit below latest; not hard to see her figuring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (22/1 -57%)Guendolen |
22/1(-57%) | (6) Guendolen 22/1, Never involved when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Brighton last time. Effective at 10f on good to firm and good, wants a decent pace to aim at; inconsistent in handicaps. Convincing win on return (1m2f, good); not matched since and beat one home ten days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (4/1 +50%)Imperial Cult |
4/1(+50%) | (9) Imperial Cult 4/1, Won this last year and ran to form when beaten 2l off 59 over 12f at Lingfield last time. Effective 9-12f, likes give, acts on AW; goes well at Epsom and on a decent mark. Won this last year off 3lb higher; back in form, including here, of late; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (11/1 -57%)Didaar |
11/1(-57%) | (1) Didaar 11/1, Bit too keen in front but ran to form when beaten 3/4l off 69 over 8f at Ffos Las last time. Effective on good to firm, good, and soft, suited by 10f; maiden in decent form. Mixed handicap form but respectable third (1m) 29 days ago; stays this trip; thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (15/2 +0%)Mrembo |
15/2(+0%) | (8) Mrembo 15/2, Returned to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 60 at Brighton last time. Enjoys making it; effective at 10f, acts on soft but suited by fast ground. In good form but has never won off a mark this high. 3rd in this last year; made all at Bath in May; solid 3rd (also 1m2f) latest; same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (22/1 -144%)Irezumi |
22/1(-144%) | (11) Irezumi 22/1, No obvious excuse when 9l third in a handicap over 12f at Brighton on most recent run. Suited by 12/13f and fast ground, poor on all starts AW; in form. 2nd in this headgear combination three weeks ago; stayed on for 3rd latest; up in grade. |

Roman Secret hasn't run badly in any of her four appearances for the Kevin Frost stable and should remain competitive off a workable mark. Didaar made the frame over a mile at Ffos Las last time and is respected, but IREZUMI gets the vote. The five-year-old has finished in the top three in each of his last seven outings, most recently when third over 1m4f at Brighton, and this drop back in trip might work the oracle.

Last year's winner IMPERIAL CULT has returned to form lately and can repeat that success from a 3lb lower mark.

7/2(+46%) | (5) Santorini Star 7/2, Well treated back in a handicap and improved when stepped up in trip, winning a York handicap over 2m by 1 1/4l last time. Effective from 12f to 16f and handles a sound surface. Progressive handicapper, though yet to prove up to Group level. 2m just the ticket in York handicap last time; perhaps testing ground will offset the 1m6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5/1 -11%)Consent |
5/1(-11%) | (8) Consent 5/1, Improved again when stepped up in trip, finishing powerfully to be second, beaten 2 1/2l, in a Group 3 over 1m5f at Deauville last time. Steadily progressive and looks Group class already. More to come at 14f. Traffic problems at crucial stage when running on into second in 1m4f Group 3 at Deauville. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (10/1 -43%)Crepe Suzette |
10/1(-43%) | (9) Crepe Suzette 10/1, Yard has won 2 of the last 5 runnings of this race. Runner-up, beaten a head, in the Sir Henry Cecil Galtres Stakes (Listed) over 12f at York last time. Top course trainer. Effective from 10f to 12f on a sound surface, may stay 14f. Needs to back up latest improvement. Made strong challenge from the back when beaten a head in the 1m4f Listed Galtres at York. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/2 +25%)Danielle |
5/2(+25%) | (2) Danielle 5/2, Yard has won 2 of the last 5 runnings of this race. Produced a huge effort back from a long layoff when second, beaten 3/4l, in the Lillie Langtry Stakes (Group 2) over 1m6f at Goodwood. Suited by easy ground at 12-14f. Group class and should come on for that run. Reappeared with good second in Group 2 at Goodwood six weeks ago on the step up to 1m6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (7/1 +56%)Floresta |
7/1(+56%) | (10) Floresta 7/1, Improved when stepped up in trip to win the Vinnie Roe Stakes (Listed) at Leopardstown over 1m6f by 4 1/4l last time. Steadily progressive at 11-14f and should handle cut. More to come. Progressing well; well on top in Leopardstown Listed race (upped to 1m6f) three weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (33/1 -65%)Chorus |
33/1(-65%) | (1) Chorus 33/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 4l, in the Give Thanks Stakes (Group 3) over 12f at Cork last time. Effective from 10f to 12f and handles good to firm and good to soft. Probably not quite up to winning at Group level. Needs overall improvement and to put the lesser efforts on last two starts well behind her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (16/1 -33%)Zilfee |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Zilfee 16/1, Yard has won 2 of the last 5 runnings of this race. Outclassed rivals when dropped in grade after a layoff, winning a Ffos Las maiden over 12f by 1 1/4l last time. Top course trainer. Effective at 11-12f on good and all-weather. More to come and should improve for reappearance. Half-sister to superstar Enable; first past post in two maidens; it looks like she'll stay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (17/2 -21%)Elana Osario |
17/2(-21%) | (3) Elana Osario 17/2, Improved again to win the Give Thanks Stakes (Group 3) at Cork over 12f by 1/2l last time. Effective from 8f to 13f. Progressive, with form franked, and worth another step up in grade. Won three of her last four in Ireland (G3 latest) and they look encouraging for this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (16/1 +0%)Secret Of Love |
16/1(+0%) | (11) Secret Of Love 16/1, Ran roughly to form when fourth, beaten a length, in the Glasgow Stakes (Listed) over 11f at Hamilton last time. Returns from a short break. Stays 11f, further likely to suit, and handles soft, good and all-weather. Bit more to come. Useful (minor turf honours); sister to a 1m6f winner but needs to raise her game markedly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (50/1 -100%)Queens Fort |
50/1(-100%) | (4) Queens Fort 50/1, Yard has won 2 of the last 5 runnings of this race. Not disgraced when taking a big step up in grade, finishing tired and beaten 8l in the Ribblesdale Stakes (Fillies' Group 2) over 12f at Ascot. Effective at 12f but completely unexposed and likely to need the run. Last seen as 50-1 seventh for Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f) in June 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (50/1 -52%)Strassia |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Strassia 50/1, Ran to form when beaten 10l in the Prix de la Porte de Madrid (Listed) over 12f at Saint-Cloud last time. Effective from 12f to 2m and suited by cut. Needs more to win at Group level for new yard. Ex-French; each-way player if back to best after 165,000euros sale at the start of July. |

Danielle made a pleasing return to action when stepping up in trip for the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood and commands plenty of respect along with her stable companion Crepe Suzette, who may have been an unlucky loser at York in Listed company. The vote, though, goes to CONSENT following her runner-up effort at Deauville as this kind of test appears to be right up her street. Floresta showed a fine attitude to land the Vinnie Roe at Leopardstown and has to enter calculations.

Danielle and Crepe Suzette hold strong claims for the Gosdens but Sir Mark Prescott's 3yo CONSENT (nap) is capable of better.

1st (3) (11/2 +39%)Kodi Red |
11/2(+39%) | (3) Kodi Red 11/2, Never competitive after missing the break, beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Windsor last time; effective at 6f on all-weather; regressive profile. C&D winner off 16lb higher last autumn; recent efforts need to be left well behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/2 0%)Sam's Hope |
9/2(0%) | (6) Sam's Hope 9/2, Poorly placed in a race dominated from the front after missing the break, fourth beaten 4l in a classified 5f race here latest; effective at 5f-6f on sound surface; in form and capable off current rating. 5f has looked too sharp on last two runs; solid contender back up to 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (11/2 -10%)Wrath Of Hector |
11/2(-10%) | (7) Wrath Of Hector 11/2, Ran to current form when 1 1/4l third in a classified race here on most recent run; significant jockey booking; effective at 6f on sound surface; form going the wrong way. Infrequent winner in recent times; third to Pinjarra over C&D last month; more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (13/2 +35%)Thismydream |
13/2(+35%) | (1) Thismydream 13/2, Needed the run when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Brighton last time; effective at 5f/6f and acts on all-weather; form has been very in and out before a rest. Perhaps sharper for last month's return but others bring more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (18/1 +55%)Almavillalobas |
18/1(+55%) | (8) Almavillalobas 18/1, Never competitive after missing the break, finished down the field in a classified race here most recently; usually consistent; visor on for the first time; returning from a long absence; yet to show anything over sprint trips on turf or all-weather. Poor form for former stable; absent 401 days; new yard quick to fit a visor; lots to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 -100%)Bernard Spierpoint |
12/1(-100%) | (2) Bernard Spierpoint 12/1, Had every chance when fourth beaten 5l in a 5f handicap at Brighton last time; significant jockey booking; suited by 5f and acts on all-weather; currently out of form. Nine-time winner, including here (5f); on good mark; stable also run Kodi Red. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (16/5 +20%)Pinjarra |
16/5(+20%) | (4) Pinjarra 16/5, Bit keen but ran to form when 3 1/4l third in a classified 5f race here on latest run; effective from 5f to 7f, acts on good; could progress now he has had his head in front. C&D winner last month; less good over 5f 12 days ago; not ruled out back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (12/1 -167%)Sarabi |
12/1(-167%) | (5) Sarabi 12/1, Ran to form when back up in trip, beaten 1/2l off 51 at Lingfield last time; suited by 6f and acts on all-weather; headgear had helped but is now removed. Lingfield win in June (6f, AW); good 3rd back at that track last week; tricky draw today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (25/1 -14%)Twilight Poppy |
25/1(-14%) | (9) Twilight Poppy 25/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 4 1/4l in a classified race at Nottingham last time; generally out of form; off a short break; effective at 6f but yet to show much in low-grade handicaps. Unplaced in all eight starts; absent three months; improvement a must. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (28/1 -12%)Mishy's Star |
28/1(-12%) | (11) Mishy's Star 28/1, Found little when down the field in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; yet to show anything in 6f-7f novices on all-weather. Modest form in three AW novices over the winter; this is more suitable; check betting. |

This looks open and only a tentative vote can be afforded to WRATH OF HECTOR. Jessica Macey's eight-year-old wasn't far behind the reopposing Pinjarra (winner) when third in a C&D classified event three weeks ago. The son of Mayson is 4lb better off and with the likelihood of plenty of pace, he could be well positioned to strike. Sarabi hit the frame at Lingfield latest and is respected, for all that a wide draw isn't ideal.

Pinjarra is high on the shortlist but SAM'S HOPE should be well suited by stepping back up in distance.

1st (5) (1/1 +55%)Give It To Me Oj |
1/1(+55%) | (5) Give It To Me Oj 1/1, Yard won this last year. Keen and improved when landing a bet365 Novices' Championship Final by 3/4l off 137 over 2m at Sandown last time. Returning from a break and potentially thrown in on hurdles form. The pick on balance of form. Did very well over hurdles under Caoilin Quinn in the spring; strongly considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (18/1 -13%)Saligo Bay |
18/1(-13%) | (7) Saligo Bay 18/1, Travelled well and returned to form when dropped in trip, scoring by a neck off 98 over 2m1f at Cartmel in June. Too much to do in a race dominated from the front last time, third beaten 3l off 105. Consistent in both codes. Won on Flat & over hurdles this year; sole start here produced respectable 4th over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (28/1 -40%)Shahbaz |
28/1(-40%) | (9) Shahbaz 28/1, Scored by 1/2l off 71 at Newbury on his penultimate start. Poorly placed off a steady pace when fourth, beaten 7l off 73 last time. Effective from 10f to 12f, acts on any ground. In decent form and remains well treated on old efforts. Won twice for current yard including 1m4f on penultimate run; will likely need more though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (16/1 -60%)Dancingwithmyself |
16/1(-60%) | (1) Dancingwithmyself 16/1, Missed the break and was never involved, beaten 10l in a 1m6f handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Usually consistent and effective from 10f to 12f, suited by cut, but needs more to defy current mark. Dual Ripon winner; won on AW (1m5.5f) in June; handicapper may be in charge now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (28/1 -40%)Expressionless |
28/1(-40%) | (10) Expressionless 28/1, Ran to form when beaten 3/4l off 69 at Catterick last time. Acts on any ground, possibly now better on fast, effective at 12f and stays 14f. Efforts short of 1m6f have been creditable; close 3rd latest; not dismissed from same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (14/1 +13%)Big Bear Hug |
14/1(+13%) | (4) Big Bear Hug 14/1, Never involved in a race dominated from the front, well beaten in a handicap here last time. Usually consistent; visor first time. Effective from 10f to 12f, suited by give. Back below last winning mark but in moderate form. Won on stable debut; tailed off in amateur riders' Derby latest; visor/tongue-tie goes on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (12/1 -85%)Balhambar |
12/1(-85%) | (6) Balhambar 12/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Stratford latest. Fair mark on hurdles form. Has a chance. Progressive over hurdles since joining this yard mainly under Paul O'Brien; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (14/1 -250%)Educator |
14/1(-250%) | (3) Educator 14/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap over 11f at Southwell latest. Suited by 12f and a sound surface. In good form. Won first two for yard following wind surgery; respectable efforts since; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (10/3 +58%)Westerton |
10/3(+58%) | (2) Westerton 10/3, Poorly placed in a race dominated from the front, beaten 2 1/4l off 84 over 10f at Goodwood last time. Trainer in form; effective at 10f and acts on good to soft and good to firm. In moderate form. Has some useful form, such as 3rd here (1m2f) in June; trip a query; handicapper relenting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (14/1 +0%)Narragansett |
14/1(+0%) | (8) Narragansett 14/1, Keen, ran to form when beaten 3l off 120 over 2m5f at Plumpton last time. Progressive in that sphere. Probably has a bit to come back on the flat. Unexposed on Flat; scored on Irish h'cap debut; winning hurdler for yard; needs respecting. |

Tom Cannon knows what it takes to win this race and has a chance again on board Westerton, who ran on strongly when fifth over 1m2f at Goodwood and is 2lb lower now. Expressionless was beaten less than a length in third at Catterick and could also go well, but EDUCATOR is preferred. Fourth in a better race at Southwell, the booking of Brendan Powell by Henrietta Knight seems to suggest they mean business.

Narragansett and Balhambar are respected. GIVE IT TO ME OJ would be giving them a lot more weight over hurdles and gets the nod.

1st (3) (9/2 -13%)Its All Peachy |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Its All Peachy 9/2, Short of room a couple of times and unlucky not to finish closer when beaten 7l in a Curragh handicap last time. Off a short break. Effective 8-10f, handles heavy and good ground. Worth marking up latest run. Best of nine runs was 1.25l second off 74; needs to improve but not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (13/8 +35%)Tswalu |
13/8(+35%) | (10) Tswalu 13/8, Ran to form when 2 1/4l third in a 12f maiden at Bellewstown most recent. Trainer in form, effective 10-12f on sound ground. Consistent but not the most resolute. Six-placed finishes from seven starts but beaten favourite six times; expensive to follow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (3/1 +45%)Walk The Highline |
3/1(+45%) | (11) Walk The Highline 3/1, Ran to form when 5l third in a maiden at Cork most recent. Effective at 10f, acts on soft and good ground. Can win a maiden. 4.25l behind Tswalu at Cork last time when third means she has improvement to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (10/1 +29%)Maarisha |
10/1(+29%) | (5) Maarisha 10/1, A bit below form on handicap debut when beaten 6l over 9f at Leopardstown last time. Usually consistent, acts with cut, effective 8-9f but doesn't quite stay 11f. Needs to bounce back. Best of six runs was third in maiden last month; a repeat of that puts her thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (22/1 +12%)A Pearl Starling |
22/1(+12%) | (1) A Pearl Starling 22/1, Hampered and showed promise when beaten 8l in a maiden over 12f at Roscommon on debut. Should improve for the experience with a clear run. 7.75l behind winner on debut last month at 33-1; others more likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (7/1 -75%)Etawa |
7/1(-75%) | (2) Etawa 7/1, Stable has won 2 of the last 4 runnings. Ran to form when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden at The Curragh latest. Visor first time, top course jockey booked, effective at 10f, capable of better but looks quirky. Decent form in first two runs; poor at Gowran but better at Curragh last time; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (7/1 +7%)Metamorphic |
7/1(+7%) | (7) Metamorphic 7/1, Yard won this last year. Short of room on a couple of occasions and comfortably held over 9f at The Curragh last time. Usually consistent, tongue-tie first time, effective 9-12f on good ground. In good form and worth marking up latest. Slowly away on debut and scoped dirty on second start; no luck in running last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (150/1 +0%)Shakita |
150/1(+0%) | (9) Shakita 150/1, Continued in poor form when down the field over 8f at Leopardstown latest. From a top course trainer but yet to show anything, beating only two home in a few starts. Beaten few rivals in three maiden starts; impossible to fancy based on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (150/1 -50%)Mozzetta |
150/1(-50%) | (8) Mozzetta 150/1, Green and never in the race on poor debut, well beaten over 8f at Naas only start. Likely to need much further than 1m. Tailed off on debut at Naas when 200-1; passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (50/1 -25%)Lo Tengo Claro |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Lo Tengo Claro 50/1, Sands Of Mali filly; half-sister to Peak Princess, smart at 7f. Dam fair at 8f; yard's horses tend to need more time. Half-sister to two winners; best watched on debut. |

TSWALU has been frustrating, but may be worth another chance. Joseph O'Brien's charge has now run up a sequence of six placed efforts and may not have quite seen out the extended mile and a half at Bellewstown. Her previous run over a bit further than 1m2f at Cork was a solid effort and a reproduction of that may be enough. Etawa hasn't really progressed from a promising debut. She's tried in a visor now, having been in blinkers last time, and has shown enough to be a big player in this. Walk The Highline has a few lengths to find with the selection from Cork, but is another who has to be considered.

Tswalu sets the standard with a mark of 83 but she is expensive to follow, and a chance is taken on ETAWA getting the best of her

1st (2) (17/2 -42%)Devil's Advocate |
17/2(-42%) | (2) Devil's Advocate 17/2, Another poor Group effort, finishing fourth and beaten 16l in the Winter Hill Stakes (Group 3) at Windsor last time. Top course jockey and trainer combination. Looking flattered by his Dante run where used as pacemaker. Fourth in Dante but distant fourth in Windsor Group 3 on recent return from gelding op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3/1 +60%)Hopewell Rock |
3/1(+60%) | (3) Hopewell Rock 3/1, Improved again when stepped up in trip, finishing third beaten 5 1/4l in a Newbury handicap on latest outing. Acts over 8-10f and steadily progressing, though his current mark now demands more. 2-2 last year, including on heavy; may have needed belated reappearance; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (85/40 +85%)Respond |
85/40(+85%) | (10) Respond 85/40, Keen but improved when getting a clear run, winning a Haydock maiden by 2l last time. Progressive at 10f on a sound surface, the form has been franked and he should remain competitive in handicaps. Progressive form and a much respected handicap newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (18/1 -100%)Molveno |
18/1(-100%) | (1) Molveno 18/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off 87 over 1m at Newmarket last time; returning from a break. Bred to stay 10f and still progressing after a productive winter, though a revised mark will require more. Useful at 1m but much improved when stepping up to 1m3f to win Italian Derby in June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (16/1 +20%)Hot Cash |
16/1(+20%) | (9) Hot Cash 16/1, Won by 1/2l off 85 over 1m at Carlisle three starts back. Made too much use of when sixth, beaten 6 1/4l off 90 last time. Significant jockey booking and consistent, should be suited by conditions and return to form. Handicapper seems to have caught up but the fact he's won on soft is a plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (15/2 +38%)Immediate Effect |
15/2(+38%) | (7) Immediate Effect 15/2, Won by 1 1/2l off 81 over 1m at Southwell in June. Not clear run but ran to form when third beaten 1 1/4l off 88 last time. Consistent at 8-9f and acts on good and good to soft. Consistent but may not have enough in hand of his mark for a race like this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (17/2 -113%)Castle Stuart |
17/2(-113%) | (4) Castle Stuart 17/2, Well backed and won by 1 1/4l off 86 over 9f at Musselburgh on his penultimate start. Hugely progressive, latest form has been franked, and he looks to have more to come stepping up to 10f. Improved again when third of 15 in York Ebor meeting handicap; won on soft; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (7/1 -155%)First Principle |
7/1(-155%) | (8) First Principle 7/1, Quickened clear comfortably to win a Windsor novice over 1m by 3 1/2l last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Consistent sort who may have more to offer stepping into handicaps and could stay 10f. 2-3 in novices; tongue-tie added on handicap debut for top yard in excellent form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (28/1 +30%)Wolf Of Badenoch |
28/1(+30%) | (5) Wolf Of Badenoch 28/1, Yard won this last year. Never involved when beaten 9 1/4l in a 7f handicap at Newbury last time. Significant jockey booking, but out of form in 2025 and looks flattered by 2yo Group form. Yard won this last year but it's hard to draw positives from his efforts in 2025. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (16/1 +11%)Palazzo Blu |
16/1(+11%) | (6) Palazzo Blu 16/1, Short of room late when closing, beaten 6 1/4l in a Newmarket (July) handicap last time. Off a short break and has a significant jockey booking. Effective at 10-12f and worth another chance in handicaps. Back on form when fifth in strong Newmarket handicap in July; off since. |

FIRST PRINCIPLE has looked promising so far and arrives following a second career success at Windsor when justifying very short odds. Now pitched into handicap company, William Haggas' colt is expected to make further progress and score at the expense of Hopewell Rock, who looked in need of his return effort at Newbury. Devil's Advocate has been highly tried this season, including when fourth in the Dante, and is likely to be competitive dropped in class.

A strong 3yo handicap in which the vote goes to the progressive RESPOND at the foot of the weights. Castle Stuart is second choice.

1st (13) (14/1 +65%)Almizan |
14/1(+65%) | (13) Almizan 14/1, On a stiff mark, well beaten in a handicap over 8f at Southwell latest; generally out of form; effective at 1m on AW; looks poor. Modest nine-race maiden who has finished tailed off in her last three handicaps; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/1 +10%)Scenario |
9/1(+10%) | (6) Scenario 9/1, Below form up in grade back in a handicap when beaten 7l at Ffos Las last time; effective 7-9f on AW; inconsistent. Won a classified event on turf in July but she's been laboured in both subsequent runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (6/1 +25%)My Boy Harry |
6/1(+25%) | (12) My Boy Harry 6/1, Outpaced and below form up in grade, looking in need of a stiffer test when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap over 6f at Brighton last time; in good form prior; effective 5-7f on AW; form just tailing off a bit, worth step back up to 7f. Brighton winner in June and had tough assignment there last time; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (15) (9/1 +25%)Mighty Real |
9/1(+25%) | (15) Mighty Real 9/1, Ran to current form when beaten 2l off 45 at Brighton last time; effective 7f on AW; looks moderate. 0-9 but he wasn't far behind Desert Beauty at Brighton ten days ago; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (17/2 +47%)Capallcliste |
17/2(+47%) | (11) Capallcliste 17/2, Ran to form when beaten 4l in a classified race at Lingfield last time; in good form prior; effective 7-8f on AW; has run well off similar marks but a frustrating maiden. 0-26 but he's in fair form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (6/1 +25%)Poetic Jack |
6/1(+25%) | (4) Poetic Jack 6/1, Made too much use of when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a classified race over 6f here latest; wide draw; effective 6-7f on AW; back on last winning mark after poor spell. C&D winner but he's been disappointing here last twice and has something to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (22/1 -22%)My Mate Beattie |
22/1(-22%) | (5) My Mate Beattie 22/1, Looked unwilling under pressure when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; generally out of form; cheekpieces first time; effective 7/8f on AW; largely poor as a 3yo. 14-race maiden who has been out of sorts in her last four runs; cheekpieces are now tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (15/2 -67%)Encircle |
15/2(-67%) | (1) Encircle 15/2, Hinted at better down in trip when beaten 2l off 53 here last time; largely out of form. 0-7 but showed signs of a revival when close fifth over C&D latest; dangerous. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (10/1 -186%)Desert Beauty |
10/1(-186%) | (14) Desert Beauty 10/1, Yard won this last year; back to form in cheekpieces at ideal trip when scoring by 1 1/4l off 45 at Leicester three starts back; ran to form second beaten 3/4l off 49 last time; wide draw; suited by 7f on AW; attitude is questionable. Went close at Brighton ten days ago and is 2lb well in off same mark; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (11/2 +54%)Rokuni |
11/2(+54%) | (8) Rokuni 11/2, Did plenty early stuck wide from poor draw, beaten 7l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 7f-1m on AW; erratic of late. Just 1-24 and is hard to predict but was placed over C&D on her penultimate run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (10/1 +50%)Maury |
10/1(+50%) | (10) Maury 10/1, Keen, did too much too soon up in trip and did not get home, beaten 8l in a handicap over 8f at Lingfield last time; generally out of form; little worthwhile form, needs drop back to 7f. Eight-race maiden who has not finished closer than 7l to a winner; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (16) (12/1 +25%)Blackbrook |
12/1(+25%) | (16) Blackbrook 12/1, Did not find much after being slightly hampered, beaten 5l in a handicap at Brighton last time; effective 7/8f on AW; largely poor. Ten-race maiden and he's been well held in last two starts; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (28/1 -211%)Alyara |
28/1(-211%) | (7) Alyara 28/1, Back to form down in trip when allowed to dictate a modest pace, beaten 3/4l off 45 here last time; suited by 1m, effective 7f; needs to build on recent revival. Overall record of 3-53 but she was runner-up over C&D last time; respected. |

ENCIRCLE hadn't shown much for previous connections, but the daughter of Ten Sovereigns posted a far more encouraging effort on her first start for John Butler over C&D three weeks ago. Beaten less than two lengths into fifth having been caught further back than ideal, she's 1lb lower and could provide some value if able to build on that performance. Alyara hit the woodwork in that contest so is of obvious interest, while others to note include Desert Beauty and Poetic Jack.

The vote goes to DESERT BEAUTY, who is 2lb well in off the same mark as for her close second at Brighton ten days ago.

1st (3) (5/2 -11%)Night Tara |
5/2(-11%) | (3) Night Tara 5/2, Improved up in trip on handicap debut, needing every yard when scoring by a short-head off 57 over 10f at Chelmsford three starts back. Effective 10-11f; more to come for a yard that does well with such types and likely to improve at 12f. Won in August; beaten a nose latest (also AW, 1m3f); new trip a likely plus; due 3lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (15/8 +25%)Love You Back |
15/8(+25%) | (6) Love You Back 15/8, Yard won this last year. Ran to form when beaten 3/4l off 59 over 11f at Windsor last time. Effective 10-12f on good and good to firm. A steadily progressive maiden. Close 3rd over C&D in July; beaten less than 1l at Windsor last time; a likely contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/1 +44%)Girls Night Out |
9/1(+44%) | (7) Girls Night Out 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 7l in a 10f handicap at Ffos Las last time. Usually consistent and returns from a short break. Effective at 10f, acts with cut, but in moderate form in handicaps. Encouraging h'cap debut; disappointed 3 weeks later; subsequent pause may have refreshed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (22/1 -120%)Glitter Code |
22/1(-120%) | (4) Glitter Code 22/1, Returned to form when beaten 2l off 60 over 11f at Windsor last time. Significant jockey booking. Suited by 8/9f, just about stays 11f and may not get further. Generally a consistent maiden. 16-race maiden; ran well up to this sort of trip when third ten day ago; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (8/1 +11%)Jack Langley |
8/1(+11%) | (9) Jack Langley 8/1, Conceded first run having met trouble but still ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 51 at Lingfield last time. Suited by 12f, acts on all-weather and good, though form is in and out. Flopped when favourite for h'cap debut over C&D; two of three runs since respectable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (40/1 -60%)A Swan Song |
40/1(-60%) | (2) A Swan Song 40/1, Still green but ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden over 10f at Windsor last time. Generally out of form, effective at 10f, but current mark looks stiff. Should find life easier h'capping but opening mark doesn't look overly generous. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (33/1 +0%)A Bit Iffy |
33/1(+0%) | (10) A Bit Iffy 33/1, Found little for pressure when beaten 8 1/4l in a classified race at Lingfield last time. Effective at 12f but inconsistent. Good second over C&D in July; gone backwards since so hopes pinned on return to this venue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (15/2 +0%)Emily Rebecca |
15/2(+0%) | (1) Emily Rebecca 15/2, Scored by a neck off 60 at Salisbury in July; did plenty early when rushed up after missing the break and finished seventh, beaten 4l off 64 last time. Effective 10-12f, consistent and in good form, though mark looks tough. Won over C&D in July; followed up 10 days later; consistent since; not ruled out back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (11/1 +45%)Soldiers Chorus |
11/1(+45%) | (5) Soldiers Chorus 11/1, Improved up in trip but comfortably held in a novice at Kempton last time. Usually consistent, with trainer in form. Effective at 12f but needs to back up latest improvement in handicaps. All starts on AW; best qualifying run when up to 1m4f one month ago; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (33/1 +0%)Tenadaay |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Tenadaay 33/1, Needed the run when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective 8-12f. Showed minor promise at 2 but needs to leave reappearance form behind. 28-1 for h'cap debut when always towards rear at Kempton (1m4f, AW) a fortnight ago. |

Night Tara has been in good form, with a win at Chelmsford and close-up seconds there and at Southwell, and an extra furlong may well bring about further improvement. However, EMILY REBECCA also drops a class and, with a C&D victory to her name in July, she could prove too good for these, with Alec Voikhansky good value for his 3lb claim. Love You Back is another to consider for last year's winning stable.

It isn't easy to oppose the progressive NIGHT TARA (nap), who promises to relish this stiff 1m4f and is already due to go up 3lb.

1st (12) (9/4 +63%)So Golden |
9/4(+63%) | (12) So Golden 9/4, Ran to form, suited by a positive ride at a sharp track, when 7 1/2l third in an auction race over 12f at Tramore last time; effective at 12f and previously beaten only by a useful rival on debut; can win a maiden. Good debut when 1l behind smart horse; a bit below that last time; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (15/2 -88%)Coul Dreamer |
15/2(-88%) | (2) Coul Dreamer 15/2, Yard won this last year; keen, ran to form, but made too much use of when fourth beaten 13l in the Bar One Racing Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 3) over 2m1f at Fairyhouse latest; steadily progressive and a value selection on form. Maiden hurdle winner previously showed decent form in Flat maidens; claims if ready enough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/1 -230%)Eternal Echo |
11/1(-230%) | (3) Eternal Echo 11/1, Improved on bumper form with a cosy victory when winning a maiden hurdle at Cork over 2m by 4 1/2l last time; tongue-tie first time and returning from a break; effective at 2m on soft, a useful jumper who can make an impact on the flat. Bumper winner and hurdles winner last time; promising sort who could go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (22/1 -144%)Qamari |
22/1(-144%) | (11) Qamari 22/1, Ran to form when 3 1/4l third in a maiden over 11f at Dundalk last time; off a short break; consistent in a short career at 8-10f on the all-weather. Has shown ability in her three Flat starts and could get involved if building on them. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (25/1 -14%)Space Warrior |
25/1(-14%) | (7) Space Warrior 25/1, Finished down the field below form in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Galway most recently; generally out of form though from a top course trainer; looks stiffly handicapped. Maiden hurdle winner last year; struggled since and not much encouragement in recent runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/4 +50%)Rock Of Ireland |
9/4(+50%) | (6) Rock Of Ireland 9/4, Made too much use of when beaten 7l in a handicap over 1m5f at Tipperary last time; effective between 12f and 14f on good and soft; still a maiden but on a fair mark. 12-race maiden but not beaten far recently; has run well at this trip as a 3yo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (11/2 -83%)Young Churchill |
11/2(-83%) | (8) Young Churchill 11/2, Below form on flat return when fourth beaten 10l in a maiden over 1m5f at Ballinrobe last time; off a short break; effective from 10f to 12f on good ground on the flat and has more to come in hurdle handicaps. Hurdles winner on penultimate; not at best last time back on level; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (500/1 -233%)Native Flag |
500/1(-233%) | (10) Native Flag 500/1, Below debut form when down the field dropped in trip in a claimer over 7f at Dundalk last time; hood first time; effective from 7f to 10f but looks poor so far. Well behind in two AW starts; would be a surprise winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (150/1 -20%)Eye Contact |
150/1(-20%) | (4) Eye Contact 150/1, Well beaten in a maiden over 8f at Dundalk on only start; absent for a very lengthy period and faces a difficult challenge. 20l behind the winner on debut at Dundalk over 1m in December 2023; best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (16/1 -14%)Atlantic City |
16/1(-14%) | (9) Atlantic City 16/1, Ran to form when 12l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Ballinrobe last time; returning from a break; effective at 2m, acts on heavy and good, consistent over hurdles but probably wants 12f on the flat. Showed some ability in two Flat starts and not bad over hurdles recently; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (66/1 -65%)Among The Pines |
66/1(-65%) | (1) Among The Pines 66/1, Below debut form when well beaten in an auction race over 8f at The Curragh last time; hood first time and returning from a short break; looks more suited to middle to long-distance handicaps. Big prices for two maiden starts and ran accordingly; hood added to tongue-tie; unlikely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (17/2 +83%)Goldinthevalleys |
17/2(+83%) | (5) Goldinthevalleys 17/2, Made mistakes and finished down the field on modest hurdle debut in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Galway most recently; effective at 2m over hurdles but may need more time on the flat. Poor on debut in bumper and returned from break in Galway maiden hurdle when well beaten. |

SO GOLDEN may prove the pick in a tricky contest. The Golden Horn filly ran a big race on her debut at Ballinrobe when losing out to classy jumper Buddy One. She didn't appear comfortable on the track in the closing stages at Tramore last time, but it was a solid effort to finish third to Kingstonian. There is still scope for improvement. Coul Dreamer showed some smart form over timber last season and was also placed a couple of times on the level in 2024. He's a potential danger. Eternal Echo is another winning hurdler who has to be respected now trying his hand on the Flat.

It was a highly encouraging debut by SO GOLDEN, and even though she was below that last time, he is selected to come out on top

3/1(+63%) | (6) Wechaad 3/1, Ran to form when stepped up in trip under positive handling, second beaten a length in a novice at Newbury latest. Effective from 6-7f on good. Progressive and with more to come in handicaps. Has made steady progress in three runs and can do better again now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (14/1 +13%)Gold Dawn |
14/1(+13%) | (9) Gold Dawn 14/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 76 at York last time. Significant jockey booking and effective at 7f on a sound surface. Consistent in a short career. Back on track with fifth in York nursery latest but Special Dividend was ahead in third. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (25/1 -108%)You Sexy Thing |
25/1(-108%) | (11) You Sexy Thing 25/1, Improved for easier ground when landing a handicap by 1/2l off 71 at Sandown last time. Effective at 7f and suited by cut, though a revised mark demands more. Clear of third when winning 7f Sandown nursery on soft 12 days ago; respected up 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (10/3 +67%)Jeddaal |
10/3(+67%) | (7) Jeddaal 10/3, Ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden at Chepstow latest. Steadily progressive, effective at 7f, acts on good to firm and good. Progressing and opening mark looks lenient. Progressive in his qualifying runs and likely more to come in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -456%)Crown Of Light |
25/1(-456%) | (3) Crown Of Light 25/1, Improved when pulling clear of the remainder behind a useful winner, second beaten 5l in a 6f novice at Salisbury latest. Steadily progressive with a top course jockey. Effective at 6f on fast ground and latest form franked at Group level. 6f Salisbury win in July; bumped into recent Group 3 winner back there since; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (5/2 +69%)Mr Writer |
5/2(+69%) | (8) Mr Writer 5/2, A bit keen but ran to form when beaten 6l in a novice at Newbury last time. Trainer in form and off a short break. Effective from 6-7f on good to firm. May do better in handicaps when settling. Gelded since last latest start and Oisin Murphy booked for nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (18/1 -80%)Tricky Tel |
18/1(-80%) | (4) Tricky Tel 18/1, Far too keen when stepped up in trip and grade, not getting home and comfortably held in the Pat Eddery Stakes (Listed) at Ascot last time. In good form prior with a significant jockey booking. Suited by 6f, acts on good, needs to settle to stay 7f. Won at Chester on first two starts but well held in Listed event since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (13/2 +0%)Reverberate |
13/2(+0%) | (5) Reverberate 13/2, Ran to form when dropping in grade, winning a maiden at Catterick by 2 1/4l last time. Effective over 7f on good to soft and good. Progressive and likely to have more to offer. Something to spare in 7f maiden latest and should continue to progress for top 2yo stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (12/1 +14%)Elan D'or |
12/1(+14%) | (10) Elan D'or 12/1, Ran to form with a positive ride when third, 2 1/4l down in a 6f novice at Newmarket (July) last time. Steadily progressive, effective at 6f on fast ground and bred to stay 7f. Consistent in novices. Promise in three qualifying runs and 7f ought to be within range now handicapping. |

SPECIAL DIVIDEND built on his all-weather novice victories when third in a valuable nursery at York last month. The form was franked when the runner-up won a Listed event in France and a 2lb rise from the handicapper may well be on the lenient side. Reverberate is likely to be in the mix following his success at Catterick, while others to consider include Jeddaal and Crown Of Light.

This isn't made any easier by the fact most haven't run on softer than good. WECHAAD has been shaping up well and gets a tentative vote.

3/1(-9%) | (5) Love Is The Law 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off 75 over 8f at Windsor last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective over 7-8f on a sound surface; admirably consistent and remains competitive. Two turf wins as 2yo; banging at the door in handicaps; new cheekpieces today; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (16/1 +43%)Bold Suitor |
16/1(+43%) | (8) Bold Suitor 16/1, Scored by 3l off 63 over 8f at Kempton three starts back; far too keen and did too much too soon when tenth beaten 11l off 69 last time; effective at 7-8f on AW; in fine form this summer but the handicapper is catching up and needs to settle better. Four Class 6 wins in last 12 months; well beaten in Class 4 on last two runs; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +20%)Mister Mojito |
4/1(+20%) | (3) Mister Mojito 4/1, Poorly placed off a modest pace behind the all-the-way winner when beaten 2l off 74 at Doncaster last time; consistent over 7-8f on a sound surface. Three wins in the spring (two on Polytrack); not beaten far of late; each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 +60%)Riot |
4/1(+60%) | (2) Riot 4/1, Ran poorly but was unsuited by how the race developed when beaten 9l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective at 7f on a sound surface; has shown glimpses this summer and the handicapper continues to relent. On a lowly mark but he has disappointed on his last two starts; good course record. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (15/2 -7%)Nahash |
15/2(-7%) | (10) Nahash 15/2, Keen and lit up by the visor when beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time; significant jockey booking; effective at 7f on AW; out of form since a promising return in 2025. 7f AW winner as a 2yo; has not yet kicked on from a promising reappearance in April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 -313%)Packetofbiscuits |
33/1(-313%) | (6) Packetofbiscuits 33/1, Raced too freely and made too much use of himself when beaten 3 1/4l off 75 at Brighton last time; returning from a break. 7f win at Wolverhampton in April; sold 28,000gns in May; market useful on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (16/1 -14%)Wreck It Ryley |
16/1(-14%) | (4) Wreck It Ryley 16/1, Outpaced and ran poorly down the field in a handicap over 6f at Ripon most recently; effective at 6f on AW; may need to come down a few lbs. Blown hot and cold this year; hopes rest on return to Class 5/AW/7f reviving his fortunes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (8/1 -14%)H Key Lails |
8/1(-14%) | (9) H Key Lails 8/1, Benefited from a positive ride when scoring by 1/2l off 66 over 8f at Brighton three starts back; back to form on fast ground when second beaten 1 1/4l off 68 last time; effective over 7-8f on a sound surface, may not want give; consistent. Conditions no problem and running well this summer; perhaps a shade high in weights now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (25/1 +0%)Sunshine Mag |
25/1(+0%) | (11) Sunshine Mag 25/1, Produced another poor handicap run when down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recently; cheekpieces first time; struggling since going handicapping. Heavy defeats in both handicap runs; connections now turn to headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (13/2 +7%)Dutch Finale |
13/2(+7%) | (7) Dutch Finale 13/2, Never threatened but was ridden to see out the trip when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; in good form prior; effective over 6-7f on a sound surface and worth stepping back up to 7f; generally consistent. Impressed at Lingfield (6f, AW) in June; sharper for last month's stable debut; contender. |

LOVE IS THE LAW has yet to score in a handicap, but that is not for the want of trying as she has posted a string of creditable efforts this term. She weakened into third over the mile at Windsor so a drop in trip should suit and if first-time cheekpieces have a positive effect, she could have her day in the sun. H Key Lails has a C&D triumph to his name this year and is a threat, while Riot has become too well treated to ignore.

Love Is The Law should be in the thick of it but DUTCH FINALE still has an air of unfinished business about him.

3/1(+25%) | (6) Tronido 3/1, Keen but quickened clear comfortably to improve on recent form when landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off 58 over 8f at Sandown last time. Enjoys making the running. Effective at 7-8f and acts on soft and good ground. Back in form of late. Won unchallenged (1m, soft) a fortnight ago; up 6lb but could be the answer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/1 -29%)Magical Merlin |
9/1(-29%) | (5) Magical Merlin 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 71 over 7f at Chepstow last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 7-8f and acts on good to firm and good to soft. Has a poor strike rate but is in form and on a fair mark. Ran well both starts here; back from absence & second in two of three starts this summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/1 +0%)Oj Lifestyle |
6/1(+0%) | (4) Oj Lifestyle 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 72 over 7f at Brighton last time. Suited by 7/8f, goes well at Brighton and Epsom, acts on any going except soft. Needs to build on recent revival. 2nd over C&D (good) in July; respectable 3rd at Brighton (7f) 11 days ago; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/3 +83%)Mostawaa |
10/3(+83%) | (3) Mostawaa 10/3, Won this last year but did not stay when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 10f at Windsor last time. Generally out of form. Best suited by 1m and likes give in the ground. Won this (soft) off this mark last year; latest forgiven & not dismissed back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (18/1 -260%)Ombrecell |
18/1(-260%) | (2) Ombrecell 18/1, Quickened and improved but possibly went for home too soon when beaten 2l off 73 over 8f at Kempton last time. Off a short break. Progressive over 1m on AW, untried on turf. Latest form has been franked and he could improve again. Won yard/h'cap debut (1m, AW; 20-1); backed up when 2nd next; absence but unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (8/1 +33%)Blenheim Star |
8/1(+33%) | (7) Blenheim Star 8/1, Ran to form when 6l third in a handicap over 8f at Brighton on most recent run. Suited by 1m and fast ground, goes well at Brighton. In good form. In and out; fairly solid in cheekpieces when 3rd last two starts; below last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (5/1 -67%)Atlantis Blue |
5/1(-67%) | (1) Atlantis Blue 5/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off 69 at Lingfield three starts ago; completely missed the break and was never competitive when fifth beaten 31l off 75 last time. Significant jockey booking. Suited by 8-9f on fast ground; worth ignoring latest run and could bounce back. Won (9f, good) in July; big run next; forgiven latest; eye-shields replacing hood a query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (18/1 +10%)Beau Jardine |
18/1(+10%) | (9) Beau Jardine 18/1, Below par again when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap over 8f at Salisbury last time. Effective from 6-8f and acts on any going but continues to regress. Hasn't repeated solid second in the spring; edging down weights but others more persuasive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (16/1 +0%)Buy The Dip |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Buy The Dip 16/1, Dropped in trip and scored by a neck off 61 over 7f at Lingfield in June. Off a short break. Effective at 7/8f and acts on a sound surface, likes Brighton, Epsom and Lingfield. Has never won off a mark this high. Form since May included a win (7f) in July; latest over C&D suggest he's off the boil. |

ATLANTIS BLUE hit her head in the stalls at Goodwood and failed to get involved. George Baker's mare is better judged on her penultimate effort when second in a warm class 3 over the same C&D and, now dropped into a class 5, she ought to go very close. Ombrecell makes his turf debut having been in good form on the all-weather earlier in the year. He could mount a serious challenge if handling the switch, but recent Sandown victor Tronido might be a bigger threat.

A fair few can be considered but TRONIDO has clicked into gear again and can go back-to-back once more.

1st (5) (15/8 +6%)Betty's Tiara |
15/8(+6%) | (5) Betty's Tiara 15/8, Ran to form when second, beaten 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Worcester last time; returns from a short break; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and acts on any ground; consistent but frustrating. 0-11 over hurdles but runner-up on last three starts; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1/1 +20%)De Temps En Temps |
1/1(+20%) | (2) De Temps En Temps 1/1, Had no obvious excuse when fourth, beaten 17l in a 2m1f maiden hurdle at Bellewstown last time; returns from a short break; an Irish bumper winner who has shown enough to win a maiden hurdle. Not easy to weigh up on stable debut but best Irish form gives him strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (13/2 -136%)Fairlawn Skipper |
13/2(-136%) | (3) Fairlawn Skipper 13/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 5 1/2l in a 2m1f bumper at Sedgefield last time; steadily progressive with his trainer in form; seems suited by a sound surface and is progressing. Won a modest bumper in July; probably needs to improve on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (33/1 -200%)Bertie The Rebel |
33/1(-200%) | (1) Bertie The Rebel 33/1, Improved from his debut, tiring late after a layoff when pressured up front and comfortably held in a 2m novice hurdle here last time; generally out of form and needs to find plenty more. Showed some promise over 2m here in July; hiked up in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (200/1 -100%)Kilnacarra |
200/1(-100%) | (4) Kilnacarra 200/1, Pulled up in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time and has been absent for a very lengthy period; difficult to fancy. Showed some hurdling ability in Ireland in 2021; back from mammoth absence here. |

Fairlawn Skipper steps up in trip for his hurdling debut after a win and a second in bumpers this year. With plenty of stamina in his pedigree, he could improve considerably. Point-to-point second De Temps En Temps won his sole bumper before some solid efforts for Gavin Cromwell and could go well on his first start for new connections, but BETTY'S TIARA is preferred. Only beaten half a length at Worcester over this trip in July, she gets weight from the boys and looks well placed.

The safest option is BETTY'S TIARA, who has become rather frustrating but certainly deserves to get a hurdling win on the board.

1st (1) (4/1 +33%)Justenzia |
4/1(+33%) | (1) Justenzia 4/1, Outpaced and probably unsuited by the drop in trip on stable debut, beaten 9 1/4l in an 8f handicap at The Curragh last time. Had been in good form before. Cheekpieces on first time. Effective 10-12f and well treated on best UK form. Second over 1m2f at Chepstow in May, cheekpieces on now after an inconclusive Curragh run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (14) (17/2 +15%)Miss Americana |
17/2(+15%) | (14) Miss Americana 17/2, Given too much to do after being badly hampered early when down the field in a 9f handicap at Tipperary. Acts on good ground, effective at 10f. Still early in career and worth marking up latest effort significantly. Shaped with promise on h'cap debut; put a line through last run when hampered; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/1 +56%)Kodi Brown |
11/1(+56%) | (5) Kodi Brown 11/1, Outpaced and again poor when beaten 7l in an 8f handicap at Cork last time. Acts on soft. Inconsistent early in career. Not involved on h'cap debut; improvement raised in trip last time; others more likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/2 -13%)Curroy Lady |
9/2(-13%) | (4) Curroy Lady 9/2, Benefited from a late pace collapse to score by 1/2l off 49 at Ballinrobe penultimate start. Ran to form but possibly outstayed when fifth, beaten 6l off 55 last time. Effective 10-13f, better dropping back. Suited by good ground and progressive. Scored on second h'cap start; couldn't follow up last time; dangerous back at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/2 +53%)Amavasya |
7/2(+53%) | (3) Amavasya 7/2, Too keen when stepped up in trip, failing to stay when beaten 7 1/2l in a 1m6f handicap at Navan last time. Usually consistent. Hood on first time. Significant jockey booking. Effective 9-12f but may not stay further and maiden runs look flattered. Hard to identify her best trip and will need to improve in a first-time hood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (25/1 +24%)Deep Vein |
25/1(+24%) | (9) Deep Vein 25/1, Made too much use of when stepped up in trip, failing to get home when down the field in a 9f handicap at Gowran Park. Top course jockey booked. Best form at 7f on all-weather and still needs to prove effectiveness on turf. Has beaten very few rivals in three Dundalk maidens and two recent handicap starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (17/2 -113%)Le Fleur Princess |
17/2(-113%) | (10) Le Fleur Princess 17/2, Ran to form stepped up in trip on handicap debut, beaten 2 1/4l off 48 over 9f at Tipperary. Acts with cut, effective 7-9f and likely to stay a bit further. Looks on a good mark. Showed improved form when a 2.25l fourth on h'cap debut last time; down 1lb; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (13/2 +74%)Boyne Valley |
13/2(+74%) | (2) Boyne Valley 13/2, Up in trip but failed to stay when down the field in a 1m6f handicap at Navan most recently. Tongue-tie for the first time. Effective 10-12f and acts on good ground, though not yet proven with cut. Uneven form this term, only one behind her at Navan a fortnight ago, tongue-tie now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (33/1 +18%)Rebel Lily |
33/1(+18%) | (8) Rebel Lily 33/1, Disappointing on handicap debut, down the field in a 7f nursery at Gowran Park most recent. Cheekpieces first time. Returning from long layoff. Effective at 7f and suited by cut but yet to show much. Beaten around 20l in all starts, inc' handicap debut last time; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (9/1 +10%)Gold Dublooms |
9/1(+10%) | (13) Gold Dublooms 9/1, Ran to form, just tiring late when beaten 9l in a 9f handicap at Gowran Park. Returning from a break. Effective 8-10f, acts on soft and good. In decent form. Good third on h'cap bow; disadvantaged by poor draw last time; can go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (40/1 -43%)Bella Boyne |
40/1(-43%) | (11) Bella Boyne 40/1, Too keen when up in trip and down the field in an 8f maiden at Dundalk last time. Returning from long layoff and yet to show anything of note over 7-8f. Modest maiden forms; yard amongst winners recently; check market for h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (28/1 +0%)Lady Luck |
28/1(+0%) | (7) Lady Luck 28/1, Poorly placed to challenge but did stay on trip when down the field in a 9f handicap debut at Gowran Park. Likely needs at least 1m and looks one for low-grade handicaps. Struggled in maidens and similar story at Gowran on handicap bow when ignored in market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (66/1 -100%)Roudha |
66/1(-100%) | (12) Roudha 66/1, Continued poor form when dropped in trip and down the field in an 8f maiden at Roscommon. Blinkers first time. Has beaten only one rival home in three runs so far. Beat just one rival in three maiden starts; may do better in h'caps in first-time blinkers. |

CURROY LADY didn't appear to get home over further at Sligo last time and may be able to strike again now. The Ulysses filly won over a similar trip to this at Ballinrobe previously and there looks to be another race in her off a 5lb higher mark. Ms Olivia ran well when chasing home Jasmine Affanalis at Tipperary on her second handicap start and is a potential danger. Le Fleur Princess was half a length behind Ms Olivia last time and is now 3lb better off so has to come into calculations.

This trip is more suitable for CURROY LADY (nap). She won at around this distance and was disappointing over further last time

1st (6) (6/4 +67%)Mcmurray |
6/4(+67%) | (6) Mcmurray 6/4, Overcame trouble for a cosy win when taking a maiden at Ffos Las over 7f by 1 1/2l last time. Effective at 7f on good and good to firm. Progressing. Brings strong form; off the mark last time and could well improve further; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 +25%)Crest Of Fire |
6/1(+25%) | (5) Crest Of Fire 6/1, Raced keenly but ran to form when 2 1/4l third in a maiden over 7f at Ffos Las last time. Effective from 6-7f on good and good to firm. Has shown useful form in novices but needs more off this mark. Has reasonably consistent form; may be capable of progress now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/1 -100%)Royal Bodyguard |
11/1(-100%) | (8) Royal Bodyguard 11/1, Improved when stepped up in trip, landing a handicap by a length off 67 at Kempton last time. Suited by 1m, acts on good to soft, good to firm and all-weather. Improving and remains on a fair mark with latest form franked. Off the mark in AW nursery last time; possibilities with further progress plausible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (15/2 -36%)Boiling Over |
15/2(-36%) | (3) Boiling Over 15/2, Ran to form with a willing attitude to land a handicap by a nose off 86 over 7f at Leicester last time. Suited by 7f and acts on good to soft and good to firm. Can rate more highly given a stiffer test. Raised only 1lb for game win at Leicester and may remain competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (28/1 -250%)Mogbbel |
28/1(-250%) | (7) Mogbbel 28/1, Disappointing on all-weather debut when beaten 6 1/2l in a novice over 7f at Kempton last time. Inconsistent in 7f novices but bred to improve for 1m or further. Opening mark doesn't look generous but improvement is possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (11/2 +8%)Laureate Crown |
11/2(+8%) | (1) Laureate Crown 11/2, Outclassed but ran to form when beaten 8 1/2l in the Prix Francois Boutin (Group 3) over 7f at Deauville last time. Usually consistent; sire stayed 10f, dam 6f, effective at 7f on good to soft and good to firm. Opening mark demands more. Quite comfortably held in two Group races since winning at Ascot on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (9/2 -80%)Pacifica Pier |
9/2(-80%) | (2) Pacifica Pier 9/2, Quickened and ran to debut form when stepping up in trip under a penalty, finishing 1 1/2l third in a novice at Newmarket (July) on latest start. Ridden by a top course jockey. Stocky sort, effective over 7-8f, and debut form franked at Listed level. Gelded since last run; this twice-raced Godolphin runner remains open to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (25/1 -79%)Daydreama |
25/1(-79%) | (4) Daydreama 25/1, Short of room at a key stage and had too much to do when beaten 5l in a nursery over 7f at York last time. In good form prior. Sire was a sprinter, dam stayed 2m. Should get 7f and acts on good to soft and good. Worth another chance in handicaps. Not disgraced last time but has something to prove upped further in trip. |

PACIFICA PIER's debut win at Sandown carries substance and he then had a valid excuse (carried right and short of room) when a close third under a penalty at Newmarket last time. He could be quite smart and the Godolphin-owned gelding can bounce straight back on his nursery debut. Last-time winners Mcmurray and Royal Bodyguard could benefit from a strong tempo and are serious threats to the selection.

Being the type to progress further and do well in handicaps, MCMURRAY is preferred. Crest Of Fire is second pick.

1st (5) (4/1 +43%)Rascal Recknell |
4/1(+43%) | (5) Rascal Recknell 4/1, Raced freely when winning by a neck off 68 at Doncaster penultimate start; poorly placed off modest pace in a race dominated from the front when sixth beaten 6 1/4l off 70 last time; suited by 7f on sound surface; inconsistent but fair mark on 3yo form. 7f Polytrack winner; won on stable debut in June but held next time; needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/1 -11%)Backspin |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Backspin 5/1, Had too much to do but ran to form when beaten 3l off 75 over 6f here last time; blinkers first time; effective at 6f on AW and worth another go at 7f. Had excuses on a couple of occasions since winning at Southwell; 7f may suit; blinkers on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/3 +39%)Lessay |
10/3(+39%) | (7) Lessay 10/3, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 70 at Ffos Las last time; effective over 7-8f on AW; in moderate form. Best form has come at Kempton; remains 3lb below his last winning mark and should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (14/1 -17%)Finbar's Lad |
14/1(-17%) | (2) Finbar's Lad 14/1, Back to best when scoring by 1 1/2l off 70 here three starts back; ran poorly when seventh beaten 7l off 74 last time; suited by 7f; out of form since mark rose. Won over C&D in July; one for the shortlist if the return here galvanises him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (11/2 -57%)Soldiers Star |
11/2(-57%) | (9) Soldiers Star 11/2, Returned to form back up in trip and down in grade when landing a handicap by a neck off 70 at Kempton last time; suited by 7f on AW; remains well treated on spring form. Both wins have come at Kempton this year; still looks on a fair mark; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (40/1 -150%)Vibrato |
40/1(-150%) | (4) Vibrato 40/1, Returned to form dropped in trip back on AW when scoring by 1 1/4l off 70 at Southwell penultimate start; effective at 7-8f, better on AW; remains well treated on old form and can bounce back up in trip. All four wins have come on Tapeta and still needs to show he can do it on Polytrack. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (17/2 -42%)Invincible Melody |
17/2(-42%) | (11) Invincible Melody 17/2, Ran to form in first-time visor when beaten 1 1/2l off 66 over 6f at Windsor last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on soft and AW; consistent overall. 0-11 but runner-up five times including four on the AW; no surprise if he goes well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (12/1 -33%)Anthropologist |
12/1(-33%) | (8) Anthropologist 12/1, Well backed when scoring by 2l off 66 at Ayr in June; made too much use of when seventh beaten 4l off 74 last time; generally consistent at 7-8f on sound surface. Patchy form since winning at Ayr in June; each-way shout if producing his best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (33/1 -175%)Age Of Baroque |
33/1(-175%) | (3) Age Of Baroque 33/1, Improved back to 7f and went away late to score by 2l off 68 at Southwell three starts ago; no excuse when eighth beaten 7 1/4l off 73 last time; cheekpieces first time; significant jockey booking; effective at 7f; bit to prove. Twice held off this mark since winning at Southwell; needs a resurgence; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (100/1 -203%)Spiritualism |
100/1(-203%) | (10) Spiritualism 100/1, Improved after a wind operation, needing every yard down in trip to score by a nose off 68 over 6f at Wetherby three starts back; usually held up; effective at 6f, unproven with cut; mark not generous. Mixed bag over the past year; needs the step up to 7f to make a difference (bred to stay). |

SOLDIERS STAR bounced back to form when scoring by a neck at Kempton last month and is just 2lb higher. The Hugo Palmer-trained three-year-old remains in the same grade and a repeat of that display could suffice. Invincible Melody showed improvement in a first-time visor when second at Windsor and needs considering. Lessay is another to keep an eye on.

The vote goes to LESSAY who remains 3lb below his last winning mark and should have the race run to suit.

1st (4) (7/2 +13%)Winter Flower |
7/2(+13%) | (4) Winter Flower 7/2, Outpaced but showed minor promise when beaten 7l in a maiden at Goodwood on debut. Should improve for the experience and is likely to stay further than 10f in time. Last of six on debut but she's a half-sister to an AW winner and may take a step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/11 -105%)Majaz |
10/11(-105%) | (2) Majaz 10/11, Ran to form when stepped up in trip and beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden at Chelmsford latest. Suited by a mile and stays 10f; needs to prove Newbury form but has shown enough elsewhere to win a maiden. Fourth here on debut before finishing second in her next three starts; sets the standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2/1 +50%)Nasebah |
2/1(+50%) | (3) Nasebah 2/1, 6,000gns breeze-up purchase by Kingman; dam was useful at 14f. Trainer is in form and among the leading handlers. 6,000gns 2yo; dam 1m4f AW winner (RPR 85); watch the betting on her debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (100/1 -100%)Lady Buttercup |
100/1(-100%) | (1) Lady Buttercup 100/1, Outpaced and modest on her flat debut when beaten 10l in a maiden at Ripon last time; generally out of form. A hurdler who may require further than 10f on the flat. Bumper winner who made some modest late gains on Flat debut at Ripon; likely wants further. |

Runner-up on each of his last three starts, including on the all-weather at Chelmsford last time out, MAJAZ deserves a change in luck and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Winter Flower didn't show much first time out at Goodwood, but she is entitled to improve, while Nasebah must be respected on debut for the Gosdens.

Winter Flower may take a step forward from her debut but this looks a good opportunity for MAJAZ to get off the mark.

1st (3) (9/2 +0%)Pink Azalea |
9/2(+0%) | (3) Pink Azalea 9/2, Scored by 9l off 57 over 8f at Ripon on her penultimate start. Improved again with a positive ride when second, beaten 3l off 73 last time. Suited by a mile and soft ground. Current mark is stiff but she may still be unexposed. Won first two h'caps decisively; 16lb hike but 2nd over C&D next; rain a plus; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (11/2 +61%)Play Me |
11/2(+61%) | (8) Play Me 11/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off 57 here on his penultimate start. A bit below form off a revised mark when third, beaten 6l off 61 last time. Effective at 7-8f on good, good to firm. Current mark looks about right. Off the mark with win over C&D last month; didn't build on that back here 10 days later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/1 -22%)Moon Sniper |
11/1(-22%) | (5) Moon Sniper 11/1, Showed better form in first-time cheekpieces back on soft ground when fourth, beaten 5l in an 8f handicap at Sandown latest. Acts on soft and good to firm. Inconsistent and may not build on his recent revival. Didn't build on fine 2nd last June; showed more in cheekpieces latest; still has time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/2 +75%)Wilhelmina |
5/2(+75%) | (2) Wilhelmina 5/2, Forced wide from a poor draw at Chester, beaten 6 1/2l in a 10f handicap last time. Usually consistent, trainer in form, and returns from a break. Effective at 1m on good. Excuses latest and worth another chance. Disappointing handicap debut in May; off since & bids to put that behind back down in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (3/1 +0%)Amidst The Chaos |
3/1(+0%) | (4) Amidst The Chaos 3/1, Improved again up in trip, landing a handicap by 1/2l off 65 at Musselburgh last time, and now 3lb higher. Effective from 8f to 9f and on good, good to firm. A big gelding who looks progressive. Not looked back since h'capping, scoring twice in 11 days; front pair were 8l clear latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (5/1 -186%)Gorgeous Mr George |
5/1(-186%) | (1) Gorgeous Mr George 5/1, Produced a career-best when pushed out to land a handicap by 4l off 65 over 8f at Yarmouth last time. Effective at 6/7f and on good to soft and good to firm. Progressive, though his mark is rising quickly. Doubled up (7f) at Yarmouth in July and impressive (1m) at that track latest; big player. |

Gorgeous Mr George made it three wins from his last four starts when bolting up at Yarmouth but, although respected, a subsequent 10lb rise could be a bridge too far. With that in mind, it might be best to side with AMIDST THE CHAOS. Nigel Tinkler's charge made a successful handicap bow at Doncaster before following up at Musselburgh and a further 7lb hike shouldn't be beyond the low-mileage gelding. Play Me is also noted.

Gorgeous Mr George and Amidst The Chaos are firmly on the up but PINK AZALEA has form here and likely has more to offer too.

1st (6) (3/1 +33%)Belle Montrose |
3/1(+33%) | (6) Belle Montrose 3/1, Returned to form on chase debut when a 5l third in a 2m1f handicap chase at Market Rasen most recently. Can improve when stepped up in trip to 2 1/2m or further. Placed form over hurdles and was under 5l away on her switch to fences at Market Rasen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/1 +42%)Cawthorne Cracker |
7/1(+42%) | (8) Cawthorne Cracker 7/1, Travelled but found little in first-time cheekpieces and was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Worcester last time. Generally out of form, though off a short break and should show some improvement. First run over fences better than the second; below par returned to hurdling latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (17/2 +15%)Getaway Jewel |
17/2(+15%) | (9) Getaway Jewel 17/2, Ran to form but unsuited by how the race developed, beaten 4l off 77 over 2m1f at Worcester last time. In good form prior so can run well. Running well again and fair claims provided the ground remains good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/4 +8%)Dexter |
11/4(+8%) | (2) Dexter 11/4, Well treated after a 1lb drop, improved on recent form when dropped back in trip to win a handicap by a length off 92 over 2m1f at Cartmel last time. On a good mark on French form and does better on easier ground. Front two were clear at Cartmel so a 5lb rise shouldn't be too damaging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3/1 -33%)En Avant |
3/1(-33%) | (1) En Avant 3/1, Improved from debut when dropped in grade, needing the run and beaten 2l off 101 here last time. Trainer in form and should come on for that outing, well treated on hurdle form. Returned from a long absence with a close third of five over fences here in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (16/1 +0%)Fillyfudge |
16/1(+0%) | (4) Fillyfudge 16/1, Disappointing on flat return when beaten 6 1/2l in a 10f handicap at Salisbury last time. Top jockey returns to ride. Effective over 2m on good ground though current mark looks stiff. Flat/hurdle winner; below best the last twice and now making her chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (25/1 +38%)Bennettshill |
25/1(+38%) | (5) Bennettshill 25/1, Needed the run when down the field in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. This is his second run after wind surgery and he stays further. Irish point winner; failed to offer a great deal over hurdles, including on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (11/1 -120%)Impression Chic |
11/1(-120%) | (3) Impression Chic 11/1, Improved back down in trip, just caught late by a race-fit rival when beaten a length off 94 over 2m2f at Fontwell last time. Consistent at 2m–2m2f and should come on for that run. One win and four seconds from her six runs over fences; has to enter the reckoning. |

EN AVANT missed the whole of 2024 but ran a race full of promise over C&D on his return, beaten less than two lengths into third. He is entitled to improve considerably for his first race in 20 months and gets to race off 1lb lower. Impression Chic was headed late on over further at Fontwell on her return and could last home dropping in trip, while Cartmel winner Dexter is noted too.

The front two came clear when DEXTER won at Cartmel and he should go well again off a 5lb higher mark.

7/4(+50%) | (3) Iron Fist 7/4, Ran to form when beaten 4l off 87 over 9f at Galway last time; top jockey back on board. Effective 8-10f, acts on good, suited by give; in good form and looks fairly treated. Killarney maiden winner, not beaten far in sixth in a competitive Galway handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 +23%)Expound |
5/1(+23%) | (2) Expound 5/1, Won this last year; didn't handle the surface when beaten 5l in a 7f handicap at Laytown last time; in good form prior. Enjoys making the running; effective 7-9f, may get further on hurdles form; acts on good and soft; consistent. Won this event last year, in good form before last week's Laytown run, likes this track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (25/1 -14%)Autumn Twist |
25/1(-14%) | (4) Autumn Twist 25/1, Yard won this last year; outclassed and well beaten in a 1m6f handicap at Killarney latest; in good form before that. Progressive hurdler, effective at 10f on the flat, acts on good; mark probably stiff enough. Has won twice over hurdles this season and also won a Flat maiden at Ballinrobe in June. |

4th (5) (33/1 -18%)Mr Rango |
33/1(-18%) | (5) Mr Rango 33/1, Ground may have been too quick when down the field in a handicap over 8f at The Curragh last time; generally out of form. Off a short break; best at 10f with plenty of cut; out of form in 2025. All three wins have been at 1m2f on soft or heavy, needs to show signs of a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (4/1 +38%)Zipster |
4/1(+38%) | (6) Zipster 4/1, Won by 3/4l off 72 over 8f at Killarney penultimate start; left with too much to do when seventh beaten 4 1/4l off 77 last time. Significant jockey booking; consistent at 1m on good and soft; unexposed at 10f, possible improver. Finished strongly to win over 1m at Killarney, mid-division over a longer trip at Naas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (14/1 -40%)No More Porter |
14/1(-40%) | (8) No More Porter 14/1, Below form when back up in trip, beaten 6 1/2l in a 9f handicap at Leopardstown last time. Effective 7-8f on good, all-weather and with cut, but does not stay further; not the force of old though fairly treated if reviving. All three wins in a 49-race career have been at the Curragh, looks held by Sinbad My Dad. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (5/1 -11%)Sinbad My Dad |
5/1(-11%) | (9) Sinbad My Dad 5/1, Improved back up in trip with a strong ride to get across from the draw, winning by 1 1/2l off 65 over 9f at Leopardstown penultimate start. Effective 8-10f, best at 9f; acts on good and with cut; inconsistent. Winner and fourth over 1m1f at Leopardstown on last two starts, should hold his own. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (50/1 -25%)Tortola |
50/1(-25%) | (12) Tortola 50/1, Needed the run on handicap debut when down the field in an 8f handicap at Cork last time; usually consistent. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; returning from a break. Effective 6-7f, sprint bred so may not stay further; must prove she has trained on. Weak form in maidens, last of 14 on handicap debut at Cork in May, tongue-tie fitted now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (16/1 -14%)Bellacanta |
16/1(-14%) | (7) Bellacanta 16/1, Outclassed when well beaten in the Group 3 Jannah Rose Stakes at Naas last time; usually consistent. Off a short break; effective at 10f; still early days and could bounce back down in class. Sights lowered considerably, appeals as a relatively unexposed filly in her first handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (17/2 -13%)Bill Silvers |
17/2(-13%) | (1) Bill Silvers 17/2, Ran to form when beaten 6l in a handicap over 8f at Galway last time; effective 8-19f, acts on good, suited by give; well treated on UK form but a losing run is a concern. Best run this term when second on good at Leopardstown, solid fifth on soft at Galway. |

IRON FIST didn't run too badly when mid-division at Galway and should appreciate a bit more ease in the ground. The New Bay gelding won a Killarney maiden in testing conditions in July and may have a bit more upside than some of his rivals here. Expound should appreciate going a bit further again. He is a consistent sort and Dylan O'Connor taking 7lb off his back should help. Sinbad My Dad ran a solid race when attempting to complete a Leopardstown double and is another for the shortlist.

Making her handicap debut now after a highly ambitious Group 3 bid at Naas, BELLACANTA gts a hopeful vote to add to a Navan maiden win

1st (8) (5/2 +64%)Munsif |
5/2(+64%) | (8) Munsif 5/2, Travelled well and ran to form but probably challenged too soon when beaten 5l in an 11f Goodwood handicap last time. In good form prior. Hood fitted first time. Effective at 10f to 11f, acts on good to soft and good. Sixth of 13 at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f) latest, challenging 3f out to 1f out; hooded now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/2 +31%)Crowd Quake |
9/2(+31%) | (5) Crowd Quake 9/2, Improved again when suited by a positive ride, landing a Southwell handicap over 11f by 1/4l off 75 last time. Effective from 10f to 12f, acts on any going, and remains progressive. Seven wins from May-August, first six on turf at up to 1m4f and the latest over 1m3f on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (33/1 -83%)Macari |
33/1(-83%) | (9) Macari 33/1, Scored by 1/2l off 78 over 1m6f at Sandown penultimate start but below form last time, eighth beaten 15l off 79. Effective from 12f to 14f, acts on any going, though mark looks stiff. Two 1m6f wins this season and he did well over about 1m4f in the mud last autumn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (15/2 +46%)Ivatt |
15/2(+46%) | (14) Ivatt 15/2, Challenged too soon and was comfortably held when the pace collapsed in a Newcastle handicap last time. In good form prior. Trainer in form. Effective from 10f to 12f, acts on soft and good. Mark looks about right. Second of six on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) two runs back is his best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (12/1 -100%)Best Adventure |
12/1(-100%) | (11) Best Adventure 12/1, Won by 2l off 81 over 10f at Sandown in June. Ran to form when third, beaten 2 1/4l off 85 last time. Effective from 10f to 12f on a sound surface. Consistent. Creditable 3rd of six when trying 1m4f on Lingfield AW latest; unraced on softer than good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (10/3 +5%)Explode |
10/3(+5%) | (10) Explode 10/3, Yard won this race last year. Quickened clear with ease to win a Salisbury novice over 10f by 4l last time. Effective at 10f, acts on good to soft. Not the most athletic but useful, and opening mark looks lenient. Easily made all at 8-11 in 1m2f novice at Salisbury; strong chance he'll be suited by 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (33/1 -175%)Crystal Flyer |
33/1(-175%) | (1) Crystal Flyer 33/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 92 in a handicap at Goodwood last time. Significant jockey booking. Effective from 10f to 12f, acts on any going, and is back on her last winning mark. Not solid on turf form since the AW reappearance win (clearly her best form) off this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (12/1 -140%)Muhaajim |
12/1(-140%) | (12) Muhaajim 12/1, Quickened and ran to form when up in trip, beaten 3l off 82 over 11f at Kempton last time. Cheekpieces on first time. Best at 10f, gets 11f, acts on good to soft and good. In good form. Front-running second at Kempton (1m3f) latest start suggested he will stay; headgear now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (50/1 -52%)Sea Legend |
50/1(-52%) | (13) Sea Legend 50/1, Unsuited by drop in trip when beaten 8l in an 8f Ayr handicap last time. Usually held up. Off a short break. Effective from 10f to 11f, acts on good to soft. In poor form this term. Overall record is 1-20 and he has still not proved his stamina; another career-low mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (18/1 -29%)Rogue Impact |
18/1(-29%) | (7) Rogue Impact 18/1, Keen and disappointing dropped in trip, finishing down the field in a 10f Chepstow handicap last time. Usually consistent. Cheekpieces on first time. Effective at 12f on a sound surface, though current mark looks high enough. Close second of four on handicap debut (1m4f) but well beaten next time; headgear goes on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (33/1 -50%)Bubbles Wonky |
33/1(-50%) | (6) Bubbles Wonky 33/1, Found little when beaten 7l in a 9f handicap at Hamilton last time. Significant jockey booking. Acts on any going, effective from 7f to 10f, best at 9f. 1m1f win in June but not so hot since and this is his first attempt much beyond 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (40/1 -60%)Marhaba The Champ |
40/1(-60%) | (2) Marhaba The Champ 40/1, Never threatened after meeting trouble when closing, beaten 8l in a handicap at York last time. Effective from 10f to 12f, acts on good to soft and good to firm. Inconsistent overall. Badly hampered at a crucial point on yard debut but there appear to be more solid options. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (18/1 -13%)Aviemore |
18/1(-13%) | (4) Aviemore 18/1, Pulled up in the Grade 1 Boodles Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle over 2m1f at Aintree last time. Significant jockey booking but has a bit to find. Two 1m2f wins last term; also won two 2m juvenile hurdles early this year; off 161 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (28/1 -155%)Fox Journey |
28/1(-155%) | (3) Fox Journey 28/1, Went clear but made too much use of himself, finishing 9l third in a Ripon handicap last time. Off a short break. Effective from 12f to 16f, acts on any going, but a bit below form this term. Three unconvincing runs for new yard this season; 14lb below his peak mark. |

Explode was the ready winner of a novice race over an extended 1m1f at Salisbury last month and debuts in a handicap with bags of scope for improvement over this longer trip. However, with several others entering this in good form, this represents a much stiffer test. The reliable CROWD QUAKE, who has won five of his last six starts, is more proven over this trip and is preferred. Munsif, Best Adventure and Muhaajim also command respect.

This could be yet another win for CROWD QUAKE who keeps pulling out more and more. Explode and Munsif are next on the list.

11/4(+8%) | (1) Shimmering Spin 11/4, Returned to form but probably went for home too soon when second, beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden here last time; effective at 1m on all-weather; inconsistent. Placed four times in nine starts and runner-up three times over C&D; should run his race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (30/100 +32%)Blessed Star |
30/100(+32%) | (5) Blessed Star 30/100, Short of room when closing and conceded first run, ran to form up in trip when second, beaten 2 1/2l in a handicap over 10f at York latest; effective 8-10f; consistent and can win dropped in grade. Placed all seven starts, finishing runner-up in a Class 2 handicap last time; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (80/1 -300%)Study Of Motion |
80/1(-300%) | (7) Study Of Motion 80/1, Outpaced and showed similar modest form to debut when beaten 9l in a novice over 7f at Salisbury last time; bred to want 10f; may need a stamina test before showing ability. Well held both starts ten months apart; may come into her own in handicaps after this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (50/1 -456%)Memphis Rose |
50/1(-456%) | (6) Memphis Rose 50/1, Ran to form on stable debut when 6l third in a maiden over 10f at Ripon last time; effective 5-9f, may do better back at 1m. Placed in both starts over 5f and 1m2f; this trip may suit, but improvement is required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -108%)Jazzit |
25/1(-108%) | (3) Jazzit 25/1, Showed better form on second start when 7l third in a maiden over 6f at Southwell most recently; 7f should suit, form all on all-weather; open to improvement. Improved from his debut when third at Southwell last month; this may be more his trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (200/1 -33%)Miss Sparkalot |
200/1(-33%) | (4) Miss Sparkalot 200/1, No worthwhile form; offered nothing on soft ground in France or on stable debut. No ability in two starts in France and one at Windsor; no appeal. |

BLESSED STAR produced a career-best effort when filling the runner-up spot in a hot handicap at York and shouldn't have any issues with this drop back in trip. The daughter of Sottsass sets the standard with an official rating of 79 and looks tough to oppose. Shimmering Spin occupied the runner-up berth over C&D on his most recent start and might be the main threat, although Jazzit is another to watch out for.

The vote goes to BLESSED STAR who can gain a deserved first success having been placed in all seven previous starts.

7/2(+13%) | (6) Daring Leader 7/2, Ran to form when dropped in trip, scoring by 1/2l off 45 over 8f at Hamilton on penultimate start; again ran to form up in trip when second, beaten a neck off 46 last time; effective 8-12f on sound surface; in decent form. Off the mark at Hamilton last month before being beaten a neck over this C&D; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/1 +23%)Tiberio Force |
5/1(+23%) | (4) Tiberio Force 5/1, Improved on recent efforts when benefitting from a drop in grade, winning a classified race at Ripon by a neck last time; top course jockey booked; effective at 10f; in fine form this summer. Beat Coloane by a neck at Ripon to end a lengthy losing run; switches back to AW; claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/5 +27%)Coloane |
4/5(+27%) | (2) Coloane 4/5, Went clear with ease when dropped back in trip, landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off 50 over 8f at Southwell last time; effective 8-10f on sound surface; in form and still on a competitive mark. Carries a penalty for her comfortable Southwell win over 1m; stiff 1m2f is a question mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/1 +0%)Rampant |
11/1(+0%) | (7) Rampant 11/1, Produced a modest effort when beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; trainer in form; suited by 10f; consistent overall but still a maiden. 0-22 and he was behind Wait And Hope and Daring Leader over C&D last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (28/1 -133%)Life On The Rocks |
28/1(-133%) | (1) Life On The Rocks 28/1, Did not find much after meeting trouble when beaten 10l in a handicap over 8f at Beverley last time; usually consistent; effective at 10f on AW; had been in form until latest. All six wins have been on turf; failed to beat a rival on stable debut; visor now returns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 -10%)Wait And Hope |
22/1(-10%) | (5) Wait And Hope 22/1, Too keen in first-time blinkers when beaten 3l off 49 here last time; effective 10-12f; has a bit to prove. Mostly struggled since winning at Redcar in May; beaten 3l when fifth over C&D last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (14/1 -65%)Straya |
14/1(-65%) | (3) Straya 14/1, Travelled well and returned to form down in trip off a reduced mark, scoring by a neck off 51 at Ayr in July; ran to form when fourth beaten 5l off 55 last time; suited by 10f; fairly consistent. 1-22; didn't get much luck in running here last time; ew claims granted a clear passage. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (25/1 -25%)Pacific Man |
25/1(-25%) | (8) Pacific Man 25/1, Keen and made too much use of, well beaten in a classified race at Ffos Las latest; usually consistent; effective 9-10f on AW; official mark looks stiff. Fourth in his first two starts after being gelded but disappointing at Ffos Las last time. |

COLOANE may have a neck to make up with the reopposing Tiberio Force from their clash at Ripon last month, but she has since scored easily at Southwell over 1m and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent her from going in again. Narrowly denied over C&D last time out, Daring Leader must be another leading contender with Jason Hart a positive booking.

Coloane has obvious claims under a penalty but DARING LEADER may be able to make two wins from his last three starts.

1st (5) (4/1 +38%)Another Lord |
4/1(+38%) | (5) Another Lord 4/1, Travelled well to score by 2l off 100 here on his penultimate start. Never travelled when unable to go the strong gallop in higher grade and pulled up in a handicap chase latest. Trainer in form; back from a short break and in the mix. Poor last time but won here the run before and clearly a contender if back on song. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6/5 +31%)Wheresmemoneygone |
6/5(+31%) | (4) Wheresmemoneygone 6/5, Travelled strongly and looked well treated on point form, improving up in trip to win a chase debut by 24l off 66 at Perth on his penultimate start. More to come over fences but probably best kept to trips no further than 3m. Nearly defied a 24lb rise here last time; only a 6yo and could still improve some more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (12/1 -200%)Gaelic Park |
12/1(-200%) | (8) Gaelic Park 12/1, No obvious excuse when comfortably held in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here last time. Generally out of form and returning from a long layoff. Tongue-tie first time; effective around 2 1/2m. On a good mark if new connections can get him back on track; tries a tongue-tie. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (22/1 +12%)Ali Star Bert |
22/1(+12%) | (9) Ali Star Bert 22/1, Made too much use of and was well beaten in a handicap chase at Hexham last time. Strong stayer is dropping in weights so not dismissed. Mixed record since winning at Southwell in March; perhaps not the percentage call. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (5/1 -25%)Carriglux |
5/1(-25%) | (10) Carriglux 5/1, Had every chance when improving up in trip but did plenty early and was beaten 2 1/4l off 90 over 2m7f at Worcester last time. Back from a short break and a threat. Dual point winner and a close third in a Worcester handicap chase on stable debut in June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (6/1 +20%)Leading Force |
6/1(+20%) | (6) Leading Force 6/1, Below form when taken on up front, finishing a 49l third in a 3m2f handicap chase at Fontwell last time. In good form earlier in summer. The pick on balance of form. C&D winner who was holding his form until heavy defeats in his final two races. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (20/1 -25%)Jimmy The Digger |
20/1(-25%) | (1) Jimmy The Digger 20/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced, running below form when comfortably held in a 2m7f handicap chase at Worcester last time. Returns from a short break but remains inconsistent. Down the weights for good reason and struggles with his consistency these days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (125/1 -400%)El Muchacho |
125/1(-400%) | (7) El Muchacho 125/1, Disappointing stable debut when down the field in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen most recently. Generally out of form. Bought for £3,000 out of Olly Murphy's yard; well beaten on stable debut over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (28/1 -75%)Roxboro River |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Roxboro River 28/1, Back to form when dropped in trip and suited by quicker ground, scoring by 1 1/2l off 102 over 2m6f at Stratford three runs ago. Possibly raced too soon and pulled up in a handicap hurdle latest; on a stiff mark. Tailed off on only previous chase start in Ireland and last two runs over hurdles poor. |

Wheresmemoneygone won at Perth in July and was then second here. Another 3lb rise may not stop him going close again, while Another Lord had an off-day when pulled up at Market Rasen but is better judged on his C&D success in June. However, a chance is taken on CARRIGLUX. A point-to-point winner, he finished third at Worcester on his debut for new connections and looked the sort to build on that significantly.

Preference is for CARRIGLUX, a low-mileage 9yo who was bang there at Worcester on his first run for this yard.

No obvious excuse when fifth, beaten 7l off 50 last time. Significant jockey booking; effective 9-10f on sound surface; in good form. Off the mark in July; narrowly denied on penultimate; not clear run last time; good mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/4 +50%)Warazam |
5/4(+50%) | (6) Warazam 5/4, Stable won this last year. Made plenty of use of but ran to form when fourth, beaten 5l in a handicap at Gowran Park latest. Consistent at 8-10f and capable off this mark. Maiden has been running well on turf and AW; looks capable of winning off this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (14/1 -27%)Pink Socks |
14/1(-27%) | (9) Pink Socks 14/1, Up in trip and possibly failed to stay when down the field in a 9f handicap at Gowran Park most recent. Generally out of form; acts on any ground; winless in 2025. Sole win came at Gowran last year; out of form this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (18/1 +45%)Daymer Bay |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/1 +45%)Smaoineamh Sile |
11/1(+45%) | (2) Smaoineamh Sile 11/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 55 over 9f at Leopardstown in June. Blew the start and finished eighth, beaten 8 1/4l off 61 last time. Enjoys making the running; effective 8-10f, worth stepping back up in trip; stiff mark. Four of five wins came at Leopardstown; poor in recent runs for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (11/1 -10%)Just Another Eagle |
11/1(-10%) | (10) Just Another Eagle 11/1, Too keen up in grade, finishing tired and down the field in a 12f handicap at Dundalk last time. Had been in good form prior. Returns from a long layoff; effective 10-12f on good and all-weather; generally consistent and could bounce back. AW winner over 1m4f on penultimate 2024 outing off 47; probably best watched on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (11/1 +31%)Barretstown |
11/1(+31%) | (7) Barretstown 11/1, Made too much use of when beaten 8 1/2l in a 9f handicap at Leopardstown last time. Generally out of form; returns from a short break. Dropping in the weights but struggling for form. AW winner last winter has shown nothing in three turf runs this summer; hard to recommend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (15) (25/1 +11%)Gudrun Genberg |
25/1(+11%) | (15) Gudrun Genberg 25/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent. Usually consistent; returning from a long layoff. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective at 10f on soft ground; regressive overall. Reserve; 0-17 and hasn't looked as though breakthrough is imminent; tongue-tie on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (28/1 -40%)Cornahilt Soldier |
28/1(-40%) | (8) Cornahilt Soldier 28/1, Ran poorly back on easy ground, down the field in a 7f handicap at Roscommon most recently. Generally out of form; effective 7-8f, acts on yielding and good; struggling for form. Wide margin winner last year off 62; well beaten in last four starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (18/1 -112%)Lust |
18/1(-112%) | (3) Lust 18/1, No excuse when well beaten in a 7f handicap at Roscommon latest. Generally out of form; cheekpieces applied for the first time. Effective 7-8f and enjoys cut; regressive profile. Naas Listed winner in 2022; regressive last year and poor stable debut last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (50/1 -52%)Boomerang Bill |
50/1(-52%) | (13) Boomerang Bill 50/1, Poor return to the Flat, down the field in an 8f handicap at Bellewstown most recent. Exposed maiden who appears tripless on the Flat. Tailed off over timber on stable debut and has struggled on the Flat before and after. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (9/1 +36%)Dazzling Spirit |
9/1(+36%) | (14) Dazzling Spirit 9/1, Won this race in 2022 and 2023. Never threatened when down the field in a classified race at Ayr most recent. Effective 8-10f but currently out of form. Last win came in 2023; respectable fifth in h'cap in July but tailed off at Ayr last month. |

WARAZAM has been placed in three of her last four races and has a stronger chance than most in this field. She is holding her form well and, crucially, will handle cut in the ground. Chou Chou is not without his quirks, but has the ability to be a player off a mark of 48. Shane Foley gets the leg-up for the first time and is a good booking for the four-year-old gelding. He made the breakthrough at Tipperary in July and has prospects of doubling his total. Lohengrin will be hard to beat after a plan came together on the beach at Laytown last week. He does have a welter burden of 10st 6lb to overcome, though.

The two who catch the eye here are Warazam and CHOU CHOU, with slight preference given to the latter after some good recent runs

1st (8) (40/1 -43%)Iftikhaar |
40/1(-43%) | (8) Iftikhaar 40/1, Stopped quickly and finished down the field in a classified race at Yarmouth most recent; off a short break; effective 8-10f on AW; out of form maiden. 0-29; some of his best form has come on Polytrack, but hard to see him breaking his duck. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (14/1 -17%)Adace |
14/1(-17%) | (2) Adace 14/1, Never threatened when beaten 5l in a handicap over 7f here last time; usually held up; effective at 7-8f on AW; on a handy mark but largely out of form in 2025. Dual 7f winner here; 5lb below last winning mark, but needs to better her recent efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (8/1 +27%)Crownthorpe |
8/1(+27%) | (3) Crownthorpe 8/1, Possibly challenged a bit early when beaten 5l in a handicap over 10f at Newcastle last time; suited by 1m, may not get further; has regressed but mark very workable. At the veteran stage; 1-1 over C&D and return to this trip should suit; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (5/1 -25%)Polar Rebel |
5/1(-25%) | (6) Polar Rebel 5/1, Back to form under a more positive ride when beaten 1/2l off 53 over 7f here last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 6-7f on AW; still early days and on a competitive mark. Gradually getting there and only beaten half a length here last time; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/2 +27%)Queen Sansa |
11/2(+27%) | (4) Queen Sansa 11/2, Up in trip, may not have stayed when beaten 6l in a handicap over 11f at Windsor last time; in good form prior; returning from a break; effective 7-10f; must bounce back. Off 110 days but still unexposed and worth a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (50/1 -100%)A Day In Bloom |
50/1(-100%) | (11) A Day In Bloom 50/1, Did not find much and was well beaten in a classified race over 10f here latest; cheekpieces first time; effective at 10f on AW; even this basement mark looks stiff. 0-8; has hinted at ability and return to 1m may help, but far from solid; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (33/1 -18%)C'est Encore |
33/1(-18%) | (10) C'est Encore 33/1, Soon outpaced and finished down the field in a novice at Kempton most recent; absent for a very lengthy period; tongue-tie first time; usually held up; yet to beat a horse in three starts. Failed to beat a rival in three starts early last year; off 18 months; tongue-tie on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (22/1 -100%)Pure Imagination |
22/1(-100%) | (7) Pure Imagination 22/1, Improved up in trip on handicap debut when beaten 3 1/4l off 50 over 9f at Wolverhampton last time; returning from a break; significant jockey booking; effective at 1m on AW; likely has more to offer. Ran into an in-form filly when second on handicap debut at Wolverhampton in May; off since. |

Pure Imagination showed more on her handicap bow when second over an extended mile at Wolverhampton in May and holds an obvious chance. However, POLAR REBEL was just touched off over 7f at this venue last month and only has a 1lb higher rating to contend with. With Alexandra Egan claiming a handy 7lb and the application of cheekpieces possibly bringing out improvement, she looks the way to go. Monks Mead completes the shortlist.

The selection is POLAR REBEL who is gradually getting there and was only beaten half a length here last time.

1st (2) (28/1 -75%)Quercus Robur |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Quercus Robur 28/1, Keen and found little, finishing down the field in a handicap over 2m1f at Pontefract most recently; usually consistent; off a short break; suited by marathon trips; vulnerable to improvers. Won over 2m5f in April; needs to bounce back from a poor run when last seen 94 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 +84%)Edwardtheninth |
4/1(+84%) | (4) Edwardtheninth 4/1, Met trouble but never threatened when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap over 10f at Pontefract last time; generally out of form; returning from a long layoff; usually held up; significant jockey booking; poor form overall at 8-12f. 0-5 for Marcus Tregoning; gelded since last seen and steps up in trip for stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (11/4 -10%)Belaya River |
11/4(-10%) | (7) Belaya River 11/4, Had too much to do after meeting trouble, improved up in trip when beaten 3 1/2l off 59 over 1m5f at Chelmsford last time; significant jockey booking; effective from 10-14f and may stay 2m; fair mark on novice form with more to come in handicaps. Posted an improved effort on handicap debut at Chelmsford; this trip is worth exploring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (11/4 -47%)Jedhi Knight |
11/4(-47%) | (9) Jedhi Knight 11/4, Forced to switch but ran to form, benefitting from first-time cheekpieces when landing a handicap by a nose off 53 at Ffos Las last time; thorough stayer, suited by 2m+; bit more to come now off the mark. Rewarded the race in the stewards room at Ffos Las last time; back on AW off 2lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (20/1 -25%)Cold Henry |
20/1(-25%) | (3) Cold Henry 20/1, Slightly below form with no obvious excuse when 5 1/4l third in a handicap over 2m1f at Carlisle most recently; off a long absence; could figure. Dual winner at Catterick over 2m in 2022; best watched on return from a 468-day absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (10/1 +0%)Zivaniya |
10/1(+0%) | (1) Zivaniya 10/1, Made too much use of when needing the run, comfortably held in a handicap at Kempton last time; off a short break; best at 2m on all-weather; likes to dominate. Won three times on AW last year, including over this C&D; well beaten on last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (3/1 +57%)Captain Robert |
3/1(+57%) | (6) Captain Robert 3/1, Ran to form when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, 14l third in a handicap over 1m6f at Southwell most recently; trainer in form; effective from 10-14f and may stay further; in good form. Wasn't doing anything in a hurry on handicap debut at Southwell; steps up further in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (28/1 -12%)Woodshaw |
28/1(-12%) | (5) Woodshaw 28/1, Outpaced and outclassed on stable debut, well beaten in a maiden over 10f at Haydock latest; blinkers first time; effective at 10f in Ireland; has a bit to prove for new yard. Beaten 37l on stable debut (1m2f); up in trip with blinkers on for AW/handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (80/1 -220%)Curious Mrs Fox |
80/1(-220%) | (12) Curious Mrs Fox 80/1, Outpaced and continued in poor form, beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 1m6f at Redcar last time; suited by 1m, may stay 10f, and good ground; very little worthwhile form. 0-23; might have been closer with a clearer run last time; stamina concerns over this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (25/1 +0%)Coulsea |
25/1(+0%) | (8) Coulsea 25/1, Outpaced and failed to handle the surface when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap over 11f at Southwell last time; generally out of form; best form at 1m; mark looks stiff. Finished last in two handicaps (1m2f/1m3f); this trip isn't sure to suit on breeding. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (25/1 -150%)Millbuie |
25/1(-150%) | (10) Millbuie 25/1, Ran to form but possibly outstayed late when beaten 3 1/4l off 45 over 12f at Hamilton last time; top course jockey booked; effective from 8-12f; unreliable maiden out of form. 0-16; bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts last time; longer trip may not suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (66/1 -100%)Capla Daviekins |
66/1(-100%) | (13) Capla Daviekins 66/1, Has shown no worthwhile form; off a short break; beat only three home in three novices up to 9f. Beaten at least 20l in each of his three starts; up in trip for AW/handicap debut. |

An eye-catcher on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last time out when not getting a clear run and staying on well in third, BELAYA RIVER is likely to relish going up to this trip and he is taken to break the maiden. Awarded first spot after interference at Ffos Las last month, Jedhi Knight should have more improvement forthcoming off 2lb higher, while Captain Robert and Star Of Markinch are others to note.

Star Of Markinch is second choice behind BELAYA RIVER who posted an improved effort on handicap debut. This trip is worth exploring.

1st (4) (7/1 -75%)Idy Wood |
7/1(-75%) | (4) Idy Wood 7/1, Made mistakes but still landed a handicap by 3/4l off 122 at Ludlow last time. Suited by sound surface. One to consider. A chase winner last time in March and competitively treated for this return to hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (13/2 -86%)My Chiquita |
13/2(-86%) | (6) My Chiquita 13/2, Keen and made mistakes but ran to form when beaten 1/2l off 120 at Worcester last time, conceding first run. Returns from a short break and looks progressive. Only 2lb higher than when second at Worcester, but ideally wants goodish ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (14/1 +30%)Donnie Azoff |
14/1(+30%) | (9) Donnie Azoff 14/1, Below form but did just about see out the longer trip when well beaten in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Looks on a stiff mark. Below his best the last twice and looks the stable second string. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/3 +26%)Icare Allen |
10/3(+26%) | (3) Icare Allen 10/3, Returned to form when dropped in grade at a favoured venue, winning a handicap by 1 1/4l off 121 here last time. Remains well treated on past form but is unreliable. Beat Liverpool Knight over C&D last time but no certainty to be as good again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (8/1 -7%)Gale Mahler |
8/1(-7%) | (2) Gale Mahler 8/1, Travelled and jumped well when scoring by 6 1/2l off 126 over 2m here in June. Lazy and never travelled when beaten 22l off 135 last time. Has been busy and may benefit from a break. Chasing of late, struggling the last twice; could appreciate returning to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (9/4 +59%)Liverpool Knight |
9/4(+59%) | (7) Liverpool Knight 9/4, Ran to his best when beaten 1 1/4l off 118 here last time. Trainer is in form. A consistent performer but can be frustrating. Nearly two years since he last won but there's no knocking his consistency; big shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (33/1 -32%)Swinging London |
33/1(-32%) | (10) Swinging London 33/1, Ran a bit below form when fourth, beaten 15l, in a 1m6f handicap at Southwell last time. Effective over 12-14f on the Flat, but his form has tailed off this summer. Modest Flat efforts of late and not wildly appealing on this belated return to hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (15/2 +0%)Vocito |
15/2(+0%) | (5) Vocito 15/2, Improved again when scoring cosily by 3 1/4l off 117 over 2m here on his penultimate start. Made too much use of when fifth, beaten 16l off 123 last time. Likes to race prominently and has thrived since joining this yard. Perhaps better at shorter than at this far but could be given another chance off this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (12/1 -118%)Ballygeary |
12/1(-118%) | (8) Ballygeary 12/1, Keen and gave too much to do when beaten 1/2l off 116 over 2m5f at Market Rasen last time, returning from a break. Back from a short break again and remains on a workable mark. Encouraging stable debut but overall profile questions whether he'll build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (150/1 -200%)The Jam Man |
150/1(-200%) | (1) The Jam Man 150/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a 3m1f handicap hurdle at Cartmel last time. Former Troytown winner who stays 3m well and acts on any ground, but he must now prove that his ability remains. 11-time winner under rules but tailed off over hurdles on stable debut after long absence. |

Icare Allen sprung a 33/1 surprise when scoring over track and trip in July and should mount a bold bid, but the vote goes to VOCITO. Olly Murphy's charge struck over 2m at this track prior to being well held in a warmer event than this at Perth last time. This step up in trip looks the right move and he is the one to side with. My Chiquita isn't out of it either.

Fergal O'Brien's LIVERPOOL KNIGHT (nap) continues to knock on the door and is more reliable than Icare Allen who beat him last time.

1st (7) (5/4 +55%)Shoda |
5/4(+55%) | (7) Shoda 5/4, Improved again when beaten 3l off 83 over 2m at Tramore last time. Trainer is in form, and she wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective from 12-16f and progressing as the trip increases, still on a fair mark. Galway maiden winner last year; runner-up in two recent runs; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (8/1 -7%)Not Just Any Eagle |
8/1(-7%) | (8) Not Just Any Eagle 8/1, Ran to form, proving stamina when third by 4 1/4l in a handicap over 2m at Tramore last time. Effective from 10-16f, acts on good to soft and good to firm, and generally consistent. Four-time Flat winner; looked like this trip stretches him in two recent runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 0%)Bottler'secret |
14/1(0%) | (4) Bottler'secret 14/1, Below form when comfortably held in the Boodles Champion Hurdle (Grade 1) over 2m at Punchestown last time. Generally out of form but returning from a break with a significant jockey booking. A contender if back to best. Multi-Graded winner for previous trainer but below that level last term; good Flat record. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (13/2 +41%)Royal Hollow |
13/2(+41%) | (5) Royal Hollow 13/2, Dwelt and left adrift, never competitive when finishing down the field in the Galway Hurdle (G3) over 2m last time. Prefers positive handling over hurdles. Flat winner in July; struggled in Galway h'cap and blew the start over hurdles last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (40/1 -150%)War Correspondent |
40/1(-150%) | (10) War Correspondent 40/1, Below form when stepped up in grade and trip, possibly failing to stay, finishing fourth beaten 31l in a novice chase over 2m3f at Wexford last time. Most effective at 2m and acts on soft and good. 0-14 on Flat; surprise winner on chase debut but tailed off last time behind rival he beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 +14%)Jabbar |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Jabbar 12/1, Ran to form, possibly outstayed when stepped up in trip, finishing second beaten 11l in the Joe Cooney Memorial Hurdle over 3m1f at Kilbeggan last time. Good Flat record with six wins; went very close at Curragh in June; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (22/1 +0%)Party Dress |
22/1(+0%) | (14) Party Dress 22/1, Scored by a short-head off 68 at Limerick in June. Outpaced and eased when ninth, beaten 70l off 73 last time, probably unsuited by the drop in trip. Effective from 10-17f on good and soft, and may now be best at staying distances. Surprise winner in June and good second last month; poor last time but respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (12/1 -9%)Fad Eadrainn |
12/1(-9%) | (13) Fad Eadrainn 12/1, Ran to form, just tiring late when up in trip, finishing fourth beaten 14l in the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel Hurdle over 2m3f at Punchestown last time. Returning from a break with a significant jockey booking. Easy Clonmel maiden hurdle winner in April returns from break; okay in three Flat runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (13/2 +7%)Happy Jacky |
13/2(+7%) | (9) Happy Jacky 13/2, Went clear, rallied gamely and ran to form when outstaying the runner-up to win the Denny Hurdle at Down Royal over 3m by a neck last time. Consistent on sound surfaces. Winner of Ulster Cesarewitch last year off 74; some good Flat and hurdle runs this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (11/1 -175%)Teed Up |
11/1(-175%) | (3) Teed Up 11/1, Scored by 1/2l off 78 at Galway two starts ago. Had too much to do on a quick reappearance, then improved again at his favoured venue when fourth, beaten 3 1/4l off 123 last time. Top jockey returns to ride. Got fifth Flat win at Galway with Shoda .5l behind; 9lb rise gives advantage to Shoda. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (50/1 -52%)Shanroe |
50/1(-52%) | (1) Shanroe 50/1, Disappointing handicap return when finishing down the field over 1m5f at Ballinrobe most recently; generally out of form and back from a short break. Effective from 14-16f, a former Listed winner, but appears regressive since his layoff. Looking as though age is catching up with him in recent runs; needs a revival. |

TEED UP has been freshened up since his Galway exertions and appeals in a good race. He won a staying handicap on the Flat in Ballybrit before finishing a fair fourth in a handicap hurdle three days later. He's unlikely to be stopping at the end of this stamina test. Bottler'secret is a 137-rated hurdler having his second start for Aidan Melia and is actually two from three on the Flat, so he has to enter calculations. Royal Hollow wasn't a factor in two Galway contests, but she does have the capabilities for this assignment and shouldn't be underestimated. Jabbar, Shoda (first-time tongue-strap), Party Dress and the tough Happy Jacky add further spice to the mix.

Beaten 0.5l by Teed Up at Galway, SHODA now meets that rival 4lb better off and is selected to come out on top

1st (5) (8/1 +0%)Timeless Charm |
8/1(+0%) | (5) Timeless Charm 8/1, Up in trip and possibly did not stay when beaten 9 1/4l in a Goodwood handicap over 1m6f last time. Significant jockey booking. Effective over 10-12f on this surface but currently in moderate form. Still to add to her impressive debut win; more realistic mark now and not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (28/1 -133%)Fleur De Mer |
28/1(-133%) | (7) Fleur De Mer 28/1, Ran a bit below form but stayed the trip when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l in a 2m handicap here latest. Effective over 12-14f on this surface, though out of form in 2025. Best run this year came over C&D; stretched by 2m latest; less-exposed rivals to deal with. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2/1 +11%)Lightning Touch |
2/1(+11%) | (3) Lightning Touch 2/1, Ran to form when beaten a head off 72 at Wolverhampton last time. Effective over 10-12f and suited by this surface. Progressing, with latest form franked. Beaten favourite in all 3 handicaps but she's shown winning potential; not fully exposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/3 +5%)Pique' |
10/3(+5%) | (1) Pique' 10/3, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a mark of 83 over 1m6f at Yarmouth last time. Trainer in form. Effective over 12-14f and consistent, but holds no secrets from the handicapper. Consistent at 3yrs, winning twice; last two starts (1m6f) have been solid; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (9/2 -29%)Not Now Nathaniel |
9/2(-29%) | (4) Not Now Nathaniel 9/2, Quickened clear with ease when landing a Newmarket handicap by 1 1/2l off 68 on latest start. Ridden by a top course jockey. Effective at 12f on this surface and may get a bit further. More to come judged on jumps form. Second and first in two Flat handicaps; open to further progress; high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/2 +18%)Billiegee |
9/2(+18%) | (2) Billiegee 9/2, Met trouble but found little when clear, beaten 6 1/2l in a Kempton handicap last time. Returning from a break with a significant jockey booking. Effective over 12f on this surface and could bounce back fresh. Goes well fresh and neither trip nor surface are an issue; should be in the thick of it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (25/1 -150%)Idyllic |
25/1(-150%) | (6) Idyllic 25/1, Scored by a neck off 63 at Thirsk on her penultimate start. Ran to form when fourth, beaten 4l off 66 last time. Effective over 10-12f on this surface, though the handicapper may now be in charge. Two wins from six starts this year; needs more now upped to Class 4. |

Not Now Nathaniel gained a first success on the level at Newmarket, but a 5lb rise does ask more of Donald McCain's mare. With that in mind, LIGHTNING TOUCH may have the perfect opportunity to get off the mark. The daughter of Frankel went close when denied by a head at Wolverhampton and remains unexposed over 1m4f. Idyllic and Pique' appeal most of the remainder.

There could be more to come from NOT NOW NATHANIEL (nap) and she's preferred to Billiegee, Pique' and Lightning Touch.

3/1(+54%) | (3) Bella Civena 3/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 4l, in a 2m3f handicap hurdle at Taunton on most recent outing. Absent for a very lengthy period since but has a notable jockey booking. Signed off for Harry Derham with a good effort but makes stable debut after 505-day layoff. |

2nd (4) (5/1 +55%)Lone Star |
5/1(+55%) | (4) Lone Star 5/1, Returned to form after a break, winning by 3l off 91 over 2m5f at Market Rasen in June. Ran to form when sixth, beaten 7 1/2l off 95, on latest start. Has a squeak. Not the force of old but has won this season and is versatile ground-wise; each-way claims. |

Generally out of form; second run since the operation and returns from a break. Notable jockey booking but more needed. Safely held over 3m on handicap debut but remains unexposed under rules; can't rule out. |

14/1(+30%) | (8) Brionywells 14/1, Never got involved when finishing down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester last time. Yet to show much but may want a bit further than 2m in handicaps. No series threat in novice company but may get more competitive in low-grade handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (10/1 +50%)Reel Rosie |
10/1(+50%) | (2) Reel Rosie 10/1, Fell in a 2m5f handicap chase at Sedgefield last time but fair mark on best hurdle form and could be involved if completing. Out of form on the Flat/over hurdles in the spring, and was early faller in a recent chase. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (9/4 +36%)Queens Wish |
9/4(+36%) | (1) Queens Wish 9/4, Outpaced and lacking the speed of the principals when 15l third in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen on latest run. Returns from a short break; well treated on old yard's form and interesting over this longer trip. Just a respectable third of seven on stable debut in July; more will be needed here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (7/1 -110%)Chosen Bae |
7/1(-110%) | (9) Chosen Bae 7/1, Improved on handicap debut when getting up late to win by a short-head off 68 at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Usually held up and effective over 2 1/2m on soft ground; may have more to offer. Absent since narrow win on handicap debut in February but further improvement is possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (18/1 -177%)Shesupincourt |
18/1(-177%) | (7) Shesupincourt 18/1, Made mistakes but still ran to form when second, beaten 12l, in a handicap chase at Warwick last time. Might prefer a slightly stiffer test and has a bit to find. Chase winner in February; on workable hurdle mark if fully tuned up after break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (16/1 -78%)Princesse Milania |
16/1(-78%) | (5) Princesse Milania 16/1, Continued poor form when finishing down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester last time. Generally out of form but trainer going well; fitted with a first-time tongue-tie and looks in need of further than 2m in handicaps. Showed only minor promise in her qualifying races but may improve in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (80/1 -142%)Solway Staree |
80/1(-142%) | (11) Solway Staree 80/1, Yet to show ability and well beaten in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Newcastle on latest outing. Returns from a long layoff and looks difficult to fancy. 0-9 over hurdles and absent since some underwhelming runs towards end of last year. |

Chosen Bae made a winning handicap debut at Bangor in February and now makes her return to action. The application of a first-time hood after that success is a slight concern, though, and QUEENS WISH gets the nod. The six-year-old mare finished third over an extended 2m at Market Rasen in June and was dropped 2lb for that effort. She makes just her fourth start in a handicap and may have more to offer. Bella Civena is another to note.

A few of these remain unexposed but tentative preference is for Irish point winner PRINCESSE MILANIA, who makes her handicap debut.

15/2(+38%) | (3) The Mediator 15/2, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 16l in the Charity Race over 12f at The Curragh latest. Effective from 12f to 16f and fairly treated on jumps form. Poor run over hurdles last time, two Flat outings this term provide no encouragement. |

2nd (2) (16/1 +0%)Rich Belief |
16/1(+0%) | (2) Rich Belief 16/1, Keen and poorly placed after missing the break, well beaten in a handicap over 1m7f at Leopardstown latest. Generally out of form but effective from 14f to 16f and suited by cut. Out of form this term. Out of form since winning at Chester in June 2024, no positive signs in recent months. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3/1 +0%)Sequoiaspirit |
3/1(+0%) | (1) Sequoiaspirit 3/1, Ran to form when stepped up in trip, beaten 1/2l off 120 over 2m6f at Killarney last time. Effective from 2m to 2m6f and consistent. Five Flat wins, runner-up on the Flat at Tramore in July and over hurdles on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (17/2 +29%)Rauzan |
17/2(+29%) | (8) Rauzan 17/2, Outpaced and did not seem to handle the track, beaten 6l in a handicap over 2m at Tramore last time. Generally out of form but visor goes on first time. Effective at 2m, wants a sound surface, and is well treated on jumps form. Won four in a row over hurdles last year, hard to fancy on this season's Flat form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (18/1 -200%)Alfalfa |
18/1(-200%) | (4) Alfalfa 18/1, Needed the run and was comfortably held in a handicap over 12f at Gowran Park last time. Usually consistent, returning from a break, effective at 10f and suited by give. Needs to put reappearance run behind him. Only one win from 23 starts, but capable of consistent form, well beaten on sole 2025 run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (17/2 +23%)Inchiquin Star |
17/2(+23%) | (5) Inchiquin Star 17/2, Outclassed when up in grade and well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest. Generally out of form and looks on a stiff mark. Three-time hurdles winner, has a relatively modest strike rate on the Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (13/2 +41%)Pegasus Of Harry |
13/2(+41%) | (11) Pegasus Of Harry 13/2, Yard won this race last year. Ran to form when 9 1/2l third in a handicap over 1m5f at Ballinrobe most recently. Off a short break, effective at 12f on a sound surface, though inconsistent. Fair third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe in July, this trip may help to produce improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (5/1 -11%)Takarengo |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Takarengo 5/1, Ran to form, possibly challenged a bit early when 5 1/4l third in a handicap over 2m2f at Bellewstown most recently. Usually held up, an inconsistent dual-purpose veteran suited by staying trips on the flat, but on a workable mark and in form. Hard to with but often placed, most recent runs good enough to suggest he could feature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (5/1 +58%)Art Of Silence |
5/1(+58%) | (9) Art Of Silence 5/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap over 1m6f at Navan most recently. Generally out of form, a 2m hurdles winner, yet to show anything notable on the flat. Returned from a long absence with a recent Navan run, should be sharper now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (33/1 -288%)Movie King |
33/1(-288%) | (10) Movie King 33/1, Below form when back up in trip, well beaten in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Kilbeggan latest. On a good mark judged on old form but inconsistent. AW winner in 2022, scored over hurdles in 2023, ran well on his penultimate chase start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (66/1 -65%)Zentopia |
66/1(-65%) | (12) Zentopia 66/1, Soon outpaced and outclassed, finishing down the field in the Conditions Race (Amateurs) over 1m5f at Listowel most recently. Tongue-tie applied for the first time. Usually held up, returning from a break, effective at 12f but looks very limited. Never in the first three in 18 outings; impossible to make a strong case for him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (20/1 -82%)Weather Alert |
20/1(-82%) | (7) Weather Alert 20/1, Failed to stay, finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Punchestown most recently. Generally out of form but comes from a top course trainer. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time after a short break. Maiden who has not run on the Flat since 2023, ordinary form over hurdles this year. |

SEQUOIASPIRIT is a credit to connections and has the chance to ring up his seventh career victory. He's already a five-time winner on the Flat and has also been plying his trade to good effect over hurdles, with a fourth at the Galway Festival and a runner-up berth in Killarney last month. Weather Alert has been mostly out of form over flights, but reverts to the level off a very appealing mark. Takarengo, who was placed on his last two starts, is well in the hunt for more prize money, while The Mediator cannot be dismissed lightly.

If transferring his useful recent hurdles form to this sphere, SEQUOIASPIRIT has good prospects of defying top weight in this company

14/1(-211%) | (11) Vibrant Pearl 14/1, Travelled well, idled, and improved up in trip on handicap debut when winning a novice at Carlisle by 1/2l last time; effective over 5-6f; worth more than the winning margin; more to come. Snug success at Carlisle last month (6f); makes AW/handicap debut with potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4/1 +0%)Al Joory |
4/1(+0%) | (7) Al Joory 4/1, Improved when beaten 1 1/2l off 78 over 7f at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective at 7f on AW; needs more off this mark. Lightly raced 3yo with some fair 7f form; improvement needed now down to 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 +29%)Heavenly Heather |
10/1(+29%) | (3) Heavenly Heather 10/1, Too keen when upped in trip and failed to get home, finishing fourth beaten 5l in a handicap over 8f at Carlisle last time; returning from a break; effective at 7f; mark probably high enough. 200-1 when winning over C&D on Good Friday; fair 4th off revised mark since; 6f a query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (8/1 +0%)Novamay |
8/1(+0%) | (2) Novamay 8/1, Improved again when scoring by 1/2l off 80 at Windsor penultimate start; below form up in grade when 18th beaten 13l off 84 last time; has been progressive but the handicapper may have caught up. Flopped at York latest but reeled off an emphatic hat-trick in July; could bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (8/1 -14%)Greydreambeliever |
8/1(-14%) | (6) Greydreambeliever 8/1, Ran to form when dropped in grade, beaten 1 1/4l off 81 at Newmarket (July) last time; suited by 6f; temperament still to prove. Glimpses of retaining ability this year, including latest, but not sure to back it up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (11/4 +77%)Easy Peeler |
11/4(+77%) | (5) Easy Peeler 11/4, Quickened best and improved again when scoring by a neck off 79 at York in June; below form up in grade, tenth beaten 12l off 82 last time; effective at 6f; mark looks about right. Form nosedived at Goodwood last month but on the right path beforehand; can bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (15/2 -25%)Miss Hathaway |
15/2(-25%) | (9) Miss Hathaway 15/2, Scored by a length off 69 at Nottingham three starts ago; ran to form when third beaten 1/2l off 74 last time; suited by 6f; in form. Plenty of racing but still looks to be on an upward curve; good claims if stall 1 is okay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (6/1 -20%)Mae Amor |
6/1(-20%) | (8) Mae Amor 6/1, Returned to form when landing a handicap by a neck off 74 at Leicester last time; off a short break; generally consistent sprinter. Gained her first handicap success at Leicester seven weeks ago; improvement needed up 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (12/1 -20%)Sea Emily Run |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Sea Emily Run 12/1, Below par after a short break when finishing down the field in a handicap at Goodwood last time; usually consistent; suited by 6f; should return to form. Game win at Chester in May; well held at Goodwood latest; down in class for AW debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (25/1 -150%)Iris Dancer |
25/1(-150%) | (12) Iris Dancer 25/1, Well backed when scoring by 3 1/4l off 63 at Hamilton in June; below form off a revised mark when third beaten 5 1/2l off 70 last time; effective at 6f; goes well at Hamilton. Three more Hamilton wins this year; below par last week; belated AW debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (66/1 -100%)Toomuchforme |
66/1(-100%) | (4) Toomuchforme 66/1, Outpaced and poorly placed at a sharp track when down the field in a handicap at Chester last time; returning from a break; effective at 6f; untested on AW; yet to match 2yo form. Fair 2yo for Karl Burke but well held both starts this year; sold 11,000gns in July; risky. |

Al Joory took a step back in the right direction when placing at Kempton and has to be respected off an unchanged mark. Vibrant Pearl got her head in front at Carlisle last time and appears to be an obvious contender, but NOVAMAY has every chance of bouncing back to form. Michael Dods' filly had been hugely progressive until struggling when upped in class at York and she makes plenty of appeal back in calmer waters.

The return to fillies' only company can see MISS HATHAWAY record her third win of the year. Unexposed Vibrant Pearl is feared most.

7/2(-27%) | (1) Tropical Speed 7/2, Ran to form when finishing 7l third in a handicap hurdle at Worcester on his most recent run; best on a sound surface. Won in spring and placed three times in blinkers this summer; forecast rain a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (12/1 +14%)Prince De Juilley |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Prince De Juilley 12/1, Well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen latest; generally out of form and yet to convince as a chaser, inconsistent over hurdles. Didn't run badly last time but has not been firing on all cylinders this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (4/1 -14%)Jungle Wood |
4/1(-14%) | (7) Jungle Wood 4/1, Rallied gamely and improved for a stiffer track when winning a handicap by 3/4l off 83 at Worcester last time; has a chance. Rallied to regain lead on run-in at Worcester last time, and remains lightly raced. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (11/1 -47%)Mind Hunter |
11/1(-47%) | (11) Mind Hunter 11/1, Never travelled when down the field in a 2m handicap at Ffos Las last time; usually consistent and effective from 2m to 3m, but inconsistent in both codes. Placed on latest hurdling start but his overall record is very mixed; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 -17%)Scudamore |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Scudamore 14/1, Outpaced and comfortably held in a handicap over 1m6f at Nottingham last time; effective from 2m to 3m, generally consistent over hurdles, well treated on old form and showed ability in the spring. In contention before last-flight fall on latest hurdling start (form has worked out well). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (14/1 -40%)Indian Sunbird |
14/1(-40%) | (6) Indian Sunbird 14/1, Travelled keenly but found little when comfortably held in a Worcester handicap hurdle last time off a revised mark; returns from a short break with a bit to find. Looked back in prime form two starts ago but has become unreliable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (4/1 +47%)Karavomylos |
4/1(+47%) | (5) Karavomylos 4/1, Unsuitable race set-up saw him comfortably held in a 3m2f handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot last time; generally out of form, trainer in form, jumping an issue over fences, tricky ride as can race lazily. Ran okay when back over hurdles last month and won't mind if the ground softens here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (12/1 +25%)Wild Nephin |
12/1(+25%) | (4) Wild Nephin 12/1, Comfortably held when stepped up in trip in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester last time; generally out of form, cheekpieces first time, inconsistent. Below form lately but sports new headgear and is unexposed over this trip; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (66/1 -32%)Dakota Beat |
66/1(-32%) | (13) Dakota Beat 66/1, Needed the run and was well beaten in a 3m1f handicap hurdle at Cartmel latest; generally out of form and regressive. Soundly beaten on all three outings since returning from a layoff this spring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (4/1 +38%)Hammer Dan |
4/1(+38%) | (8) Hammer Dan 4/1, Ran to form but flattened out when 14l third in a strongly run Worcester handicap hurdle last time; cheekpieces first time; returns from a short break. Back from layoff with three placed runs this season; recent wind op may enable improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (40/1 -186%)Solway Primrose |
40/1(-186%) | (12) Solway Primrose 40/1, Comfortably held in a 3m handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time; in good form prior but absent for a very lengthy period. Heavy-ground winner in November 2023; returns from 658-day absence here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (66/1 -500%)High Grounds |
66/1(-500%) | (9) High Grounds 66/1, Beaten a neck off 87 over 3m at Southwell last time when ideally suited by the trip; absent for a very lengthy period. Tricky to weigh up after mammoth absence but given a chance by the handicapper. |

Hammer Dan has undergone a wind operation since his third at Worcester in July and sports first-time cheekpieces, so is one to keep an eye on. Mind Hunter is an interesting contender now that he is sent back over hurdles, but JUNGLE WOOD looks the one to be on. The six-year-old went in by just under a length at Worcester on his latest outing and, if in similar form, he will prove hard to beat.

The pick is SCUDAMORE, who held every chance before his last-flight fall in what has turned out to be a warm race at Stratford in May.

8/1(+33%) | (2) Make Good 8/1, Well treated at the weights when scoring by 9 1/2l off 60 over 2m at Tramore on his penultimate start. Set it up for closers when eighth, beaten 19l off 68 last time. Effective at 2m, best with cut, and a former Graded hurdle winner on a workable flat mark. Won over 2m at Tramore in July, disappointing favourite at Leopardstown later that month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (18/5 +20%)No Big Deal |
18/5(+20%) | (5) No Big Deal 18/5, Travelled well and returned to form when third, beaten 6 1/4l, in a handicap hurdle at Wexford on his most recent run. Steadily progressive, effective over 2m, acts on any ground, and has a fair flat mark. Placed over hurdles last time, definite chance now on his previous Leopardstown second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (28/1 -12%)Dream Escape |
28/1(-12%) | (8) Dream Escape 28/1, Stopped quickly when down the field in a 1m5f handicap at Tipperary most recently. Trained by a top course trainer. Acts on good and heavy ground, effective at 12f on the flat and 2m over hurdles, but flat form is regressing. Best run this year was over hurdles three starts ago, fair fifth on penultimate Flat run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/3 +39%)Dark Note |
10/3(+39%) | (1) Dark Note 10/3, Ran to form when stepping up in trip, beaten by a stronger stayer and finished second, 3 1/4l down, in a novice chase over 2m7f at Killarney last time; the pick on balance of form. Has been running well over fences, second to fine veteran Lord Erskine on last Flat run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (10/1 -11%)Black Soul |
10/1(-11%) | (10) Black Soul 10/1, Failed to find much on his flat return when well beaten in a 2m handicap at Gowran Park last time. Returning from a break, effective over 12-16f, and retains proven ability over hurdles this year so could bounce back. Point and hurdles winner in the spring, well beaten in a Flat handicap at Gowran in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 -106%)Cafe Con Leche |
33/1(-106%) | (7) Cafe Con Leche 33/1, Outpaced and possibly feeling a busy schedule when down the field in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Listowel most recently. Generally out of form but usually held up; returning from a break and holds a chance. Has had a break since out of form over hurdles in the spring, frustrating overall on Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (11/2 +66%)Spanish John |
11/2(+66%) | (9) Spanish John 11/2, Met trouble and lost position at a key stage, leaving too much to do, but still ran to form when appreciating the step back up in trip, finishing fourth, beaten 4 1/4l, in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Wexford last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on any ground. Twice in the frame over hurdles in recent months, Flat win at Tipperary was over 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (5/1 -25%)Tassarolo |
5/1(-25%) | (6) Tassarolo 5/1, Scored by a neck off 59 over 11f at Killarney three starts back. Ran to form when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l off 65 last time. Effective at 12f on soft and good to firm and currently in good form. Course winner over hurdles, Flat scorer at Killarney in July, possibly best at around 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (9/1 -29%)Ehteyat |
9/1(-29%) | (3) Ehteyat 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off 66 over 1m6f at Killarney last time. Effective over 14-16f and now down to a very attractive mark on UK form. Ought to go close if building on his latest couple of starts. Edging closer to a first Irish success on the evidence of runs at Galway and Killarney. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (11/1 +45%)You Done Well |
11/1(+45%) | (11) You Done Well 11/1, Made too much use of and was well beaten in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Wexford last time. Hurdles winner has yet to show much on flat. Won over hurdles at Limerick in May, Flat form is unconvincing, up against it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (66/1 -32%)Talking Tough |
66/1(-32%) | (12) Talking Tough 66/1, Flattered when well beaten in the Conditions Race (Amateurs) over 1m5f at Listowel last time. Returning from a break, effective at 12f and suited by cut, but appears regressive. A record of only two wins from 73 races put his chance in a harsh perspective. |

DARK NOTE could snap a frustrating sequence of three runner-up spots in a row. His second in a much higher grade at Killarney in July has been franked by the winner, and slower ground holds no fears for him. He knows where the winning post is with four successes across all codes. Migdam was a comfortable winner of a Tramore maiden hurdle last month and ought to be a factor off a mark of 65 here. Ehteyat kept on for third over an extended 1m6f in Killarney and is one for the shortlist over this trip, while No Big Deal and Make Good are others pitching for a cheque.

A breakthrough win is on the card for NO BIG DEAL, placed over hurdles since a lively run on the Flat at Leopardstown

12/1(-167%) | (5) Sole Spirit 12/1, Only pushed out and probably with a little in hand when scoring by a length off 59 at Thirsk on his penultimate start. Keen and made too much use of when sixth, beaten 8 1/2l off 66 last time. Suited by 6f; open to improvement but needs it off this mark. Finished lame when disappointing in hat-trick bid at Carlisle last month; can bounce back. |

2nd (9) (22/1 -10%)Invitorio |
22/1(-10%) | (9) Invitorio 22/1, May not have stayed when down the field in a handicap over 7f at Southwell most recently. Generally out of form but effective at 6f. Went wrong way for Karl Burke and not at best in two runs for new yard last month either. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (14/1 +36%)Silver Arrow |
14/1(+36%) | (3) Silver Arrow 14/1, Never threatened when beaten 8l in a handicap over 7f at Southwell last time. Generally out of form but has a significant jockey booking. Effective at 7f on AW but out of form this year. 7f AW win in December off 1lb lower; struggled at big prices this summer; now down in trip. |

4th (10) (28/1 -273%)Melissa Honey |
28/1(-273%) | (10) Melissa Honey 28/1, Too keen and did not stay when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Musselburgh last time. In good form prior, with a significant jockey booking. Effective at 6-7f; recent efforts franked and could bounce back down in trip. Two promising efforts this summer before a backwards step at Musselburgh latest. |

7/4(+92%) | (2) Fan Mail 7/4, Looked a tricky ride when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Ripon last time. Generally out of form but suited by 6f on AW. This winter's AW form makes him of major interest off reduced mark; poor on turf of late. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (4/1 +50%)Lord Capulet |
4/1(+50%) | (8) Lord Capulet 4/1, Made a lot of use of off a break when beaten 5l in a handicap over 7f at Haydock last time. Generally out of form and poor in both handicap starts. Best form is at 7f on AW. Struggled in two turf handicaps this summer; dropped 5lb and return to AW could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (11/1 -47%)Tarlac |
11/1(-47%) | (6) Tarlac 11/1, Below form in first-time headgear when fourth, beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Carlisle latest. Steadily progressive and effective at 6f on AW but struggling since his spring win. 6f win at Ripon in May off this mark; not progressed since and behind Promise Time latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (9/1 -227%)Get Up Everybody |
9/1(-227%) | (7) Get Up Everybody 9/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off 62 at Thirsk last time. Consistent since going handicapping. The pick on balance of form. Seven-race maiden but he's been competitive since switched to handicaps; each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (25/1 -56%)Two Shoes |
25/1(-56%) | (4) Two Shoes 25/1, Never competitive after missing the break when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 5f at Ripon last time. Generally out of form and yet to show she has trained on. Made a winning 2yo debut but 0-6 since and she's been struggling in handicaps this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (9/2 -64%)Promise Time |
9/2(-64%) | (1) Promise Time 9/2, Never much room and a bit better than the bare form when scoring by a nose off 66 at Carlisle on his penultimate start. Wears a hood for the first time. Suited by 6/7f and AW; progressing. Three turf wins since last seen on AW; career best when 2nd at Carlisle latest; now hooded. |

GET UP EVERYBODY has gradually improved in his most recent outings and the son of Invincible Army has every chance of going one better following his runner-up effort at Thirsk. Promise Time brings a consistent level of form to the table and commands plenty of respect, while Sole Spirit is worth forgiving his disappointing attempt to land the hat-trick at Carlisle.

Sole Spirit and Promise Time are respected but FAN MAIL's AW form suggests he could be revived by today's return to Tapeta.

1st (1) (85/40 +29%)Monsieur Bondy |
85/40(+29%) | (1) Monsieur Bondy 85/40, Quickened clear cosily and improved for debut experience when winning a maiden at Redcar by 1/2l last time. Stays 7f and bred for speed. Strong sort, with the sire's progeny tending to be game and progressing. Confirmed promise of debut 3rd when winning at Redcar latest; more needed to defy penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/2 -64%)Correspondence |
9/2(-64%) | (3) Correspondence 9/2, Still green but ran to debut form when 4l third in a maiden over 6f at Brighton most recently. Top course jockey booked. Off a short break and has a bit more to come. Similar form in two 6f runs in June; bred to stay this trip well; still capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (50/1 -52%)Bloodsweatandtyres |
50/1(-52%) | (2) Bloodsweatandtyres 50/1, Acclamation gelding; the stable's horses often need more time. Best watched. Dam an unraced sister to 5f Group 1 winner Move In Time; likely a longer-term prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (8/11 +13%)Spitzbergen |
8/11(+13%) | (5) Spitzbergen 8/11, Improved up in trip following a wind operation when second, beaten 1 1/2l in a novice at Kempton latest. Steadily progressive and this is his second run after wind surgery. Effective at 6-7f on AW and should come on for that outing. Useful form in 2 of his 3 runs, including last time after wind/gelding ops; sets standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (40/1 -150%)Roaring Twenties |
40/1(-150%) | (4) Roaring Twenties 40/1, Possibly did not act on the ground when well beaten in a novice at Doncaster last time. Returning from a break and could figure. 2 runs in April, not building on debut form 16 days later; sold 2,000gns in July; wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (150/1 -50%)Wee Nan |
150/1(-50%) | (6) Wee Nan 150/1, Improved for debut experience when fourth, beaten 6l in a novice over 6f here last time. Effective at 6f on AW and probably one for handicaps. Second run was better than her first but she still has a mountain to climb in this company. |

Monsieur Bondy built on a promising debut effort when getting off the mark at Redcar, but he may face a tougher ask in trying to give 7lb to SPITZBERGEN. The Crisfords' gelding returned from a wind operation to finish second at Kempton and the overall strength of that display may be enough for him to go one better. Correspondence remains open to improvement on just his third career outing.

A penalty could scupper Monsieur Bondy and SPITZBERGEN is taken to get off the mark at the fourth attempt.

1st (8) (9/1 0%)Ziggy's Angel |
9/1(0%) | (8) Ziggy's Angel 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 6l in a maiden over 6f at Southwell last time. From a top course trainer and has been consistent in novices at 6-7f. 6l fifth at Southwell last time and now steps back up to 7f for his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4/1 -14%)Cooperation |
4/1(-14%) | (5) Cooperation 4/1, Ran to form when beaten 1l off 60 over 8f here last time. Ridden by a top course jockey; wide draw. Effective at 7-8f and in good form off a workable mark. Finished runner-up in three of his four starts for this stable; won't mind return to 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (17/2 +29%)Front Gunner |
17/2(+29%) | (7) Front Gunner 17/2, Well backed and ran to form when winning by a short-head off 57 at Redcar two starts ago. Failed to find much when seventh, beaten 14l, off 59 last time. Suited by 7f; tends to alternate good and bad runs. Made all over C&D last October; returns to AW needing to bounce back from a lesser effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/1 -100%)Portsoken |
11/1(-100%) | (2) Portsoken 11/1, Ran roughly to form when third, beaten 5l, in a maiden over 6f at Ayr on most recent start. Effective at 6-7f; opening mark looks fair. Showed plenty in her four starts, including when catching the eye over C&D; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (14/1 +44%)Fletchers Dream |
14/1(+44%) | (6) Fletchers Dream 14/1, Never looked willing when down the field in a Musselburgh handicap last time. Generally out of form; effective at 6/7f; arrives in poor form. Dual winner here but he's struggled since winning off this mark at Musselburgh in June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (9/1 -13%)Tomorrow Day |
9/1(-13%) | (3) Tomorrow Day 9/1, Produced a poor effort when down the field in a Lingfield handicap last time, possibly needing a break. Usually consistent; effective at 6/7f and all recent form on AW; can bounce back after a rest. All five wins have been here; ran poorly in April when last seen; wind surgery since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/2 -13%)Tasever |
9/2(-13%) | (1) Tasever 9/2, Back to form when beaten 3l off 67 in lower grade here last time; effective at 7/8f. Had lost form before a break and needs to build on that reappearance. All four wins have been here (7f/1m); solid effort when fourth here last time; claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (16/1 -45%)Bantz |
16/1(-45%) | (9) Bantz 16/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 61 at Musselburgh last time. Wide draw; suited by 7f. Just 1lb above last winning mark but inconsistent. C&D winner in January; returned to some form at Musselburgh last time; may build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (11/2 +21%)Livio Milo |
11/2(+21%) | (4) Livio Milo 11/2, Continued poor form for new yard, beaten 4l off 65 at Doncaster last time. Trainer is in form; wide draw; off a short break. Effective 7-9f but out of form since move from Ireland. 1-22; shaped more encouragingly at Doncaster 88 days ago; had wind surgery two days later. |

BUTTERCROSS FLYER was forced to race wide throughout when she was a creditable third at Lingfield on Monday and the quick reappearance back on Tapeta suggests connections hold strong hopes of the four-year-old extending her good run of recent form. Cooperation also appeals after a near miss over a mile here 13 days ago, with a 2lb higher rating looking fair. All four of Tasever's previous career wins came at this venue and he is another must for consideration.

Cooperation holds good claims but BANTZ returned to some form last time and he's taken to double his C&D tally.

1st (4) (7/2 -17%)Enpassant |
7/2(-17%) | (4) Enpassant 7/2, Travelled well when scoring by a short-head off 57 at Leicester penultimate start, then ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l off 60 last time. Suited by 7f and acts on all-weather; arrives in form. Won at Leicester last month before another good run last time; now steps back up in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (25/1 -79%)Miss Yorkshire |
25/1(-79%) | (6) Miss Yorkshire 25/1, No obvious excuse when beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Has a wide draw and is effective at 6-7f on all-weather. Out of form since entering handicaps. Down the field in handicaps on her last two starts, including here; dropped another 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 -25%)Mister Invincible |
10/1(-25%) | (3) Mister Invincible 10/1, Outpaced before rallying and appeared unsuited by the drop in trip when beaten 5l in a 6f handicap at Doncaster last time. Effective at 6-7f and worth stepping back up, though currently in moderate form. 0-6; didn't look suited by the drop to 6f at Doncaster last time and now returns to 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/2 -38%)King Sharja |
11/2(-38%) | (7) King Sharja 11/2, Rallied gamely and returned to form when landing a handicap by a short-head off 56 at Beverley last time. Effective at 7f on a sound surface and should remain competitive. Back up 2lb for his Beverley win over 7.5f last time; returns to AW with claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/3 +26%)Carolus Magnus |
10/3(+26%) | (5) Carolus Magnus 10/3, Met trouble at a key stage and flattened out when in the clear, beaten 4l off 63 over 8f at Thirsk last time. Wears a visor for the first time. Effective at 7-8f; on a long losing run but hinted at revival off reduced marks. Both of his wins came in 2021; fifth at Thirsk last time and the visor is now applied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (11/1 -22%)Mwafaq |
11/1(-22%) | (9) Mwafaq 11/1, Ran to current form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Catterick last time and has generally been out of form. Top course trainer. Off a short break. Effective at 7-8f; in poor form overall. 0-8; posted respectable efforts in cheekpieces on his last two outings; back on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (10/3 +49%)Stockpyle |
10/3(+49%) | (1) Stockpyle 10/3, No obvious excuse when beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Generally out of form, though the trainer is in form. Enjoys making the running and effective at 7-8f, but does not handle fast ground. Won four times from 7f-1m; struggled since finishing second at Doncaster in March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (14/1 +13%)Golborne |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Golborne 14/1, Never threatened after missing the break, but ran to form when beaten 10l in a novice over 8f at Southwell last time. Blinkers on for the first time and drawn wide. Effective at 7-8f on all-weather, but opening mark looks stiff. Never better than midfield on stable debut at Southwell; blinkered for this handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (11/1 -57%)Patontheback |
11/1(-57%) | (2) Patontheback 11/1, Back to form when pushed out to score by 2l off 59 at Musselburgh penultimate start. Forced wide from a poor draw when ninth, beaten 13l off 64 last time. Suited by 7f and wants a sound surface; current mark looks about right. Won at Musselburgh last month and had an excuse at Catterick last time; returns to AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (150/1 +25%)Aurora's Doublesix |
150/1(+25%) | (10) Aurora's Doublesix 150/1, Raced keenly and found little, probably not staying when comfortably held in a handicap over 8f at Hamilton last time. Hood on for the first time and has a wide draw. Exposed as poor. Achieved little in eight starts from 5f-8.5f; hood applied for her AW debut; passed over. |

Even though reliability probably isn't King Sharja's greatest asset, he has won back-to-back races before and and cannot be ruled out from supplementing his Beverley success gained at the end of July. However, the still competitively-weighted ENPASSANT has a slightly stronger overall profile and he gets the vote after a win and second-placed finish from his last two starts. Carolus Magnus and Patontheback can also be on the premises at this level.

The drop back to 6f didn't seem to suit MISTER INVINCIBLE last time and he's preferred ahead of Enpassant.

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.
