Races & Results Friday 19th April 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Molly Mischief 6/5, 13/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 7 days ago, forging clear. Carries penalty. Makes turf debut and has to enter calculations. 7lb well in under penalty for Southwell win; will take the beating if as effective on turf.
1
1st (6) (4/1 +50%) Fiddlers Green
4/1(+50%)
(6) Fiddlers Green 4/1, Winner at Kempton in February. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 11/4) 37 days ago. Can give a good account back on turf. AW winner who was twice runner-up on a soft surface in Ireland; each-way squeak.
2
2nd (11) (10/1 -54%) Bobby Kennedy
10/1(-54%)
(11) Bobby Kennedy 10/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 2/1, last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f). Off 6 months but runner-up on last season's C&D reappearance from the same mark. Sole win came over C&D and has already shown that he can go well fresh.
3
3rd (5) (12/1 +0%) Lexington Hero
12/1(+0%)
(5) Lexington Hero 12/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, heavy, 10/1) 16 days ago, finishing tired. Drying ground probably in his favour. 1-12 and best form so far has come on the AW (unplaced all seven starts on turf).
4
4th (10) (10/1 +29%) Asense
10/1(+29%)
(10) Asense 10/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 7 runs last year. Last of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 40/1) 9 days ago. Return to this venue may prompt a revival. Hat-trick last year included two wins here; poor last time, but respected if bouncing back.
5th
5th (3) (50/1 -25%) Lookingdandy
50/1(-25%)
(3) Lookingdandy 50/1, Last of 8 in handicap (100/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 48 days ago. Lots to prove back on turf. 0-14 under rules and needs a deal of improvement if he is to figure on Flat turf debut.
6th
6th (4) (40/1 -433%) Galactic Glow
40/1(-433%)
(4) Galactic Glow 40/1, Course winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Respectable second of 8 in handicap at this course (8f, good, 9/4). Off 7 months. Significantly back up in trip but record here means he needs to be considered. All three wins came over 1m2f here last year, but the seven-month absence is a concern.
7th
7th (2) (17/2 +58%) Conservative
17/2(+58%)
(2) Conservative 17/2, 14/1, last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 80 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Scott Dixon. Tongue strap on first time and lurks on a dangerous mark if he can revive. Down in grade on stable debut, but still hard to fancy on latest efforts; tongue-tie on.
8th
8th (9) (28/1 -12%) Logistical
28/1(-12%)
(9) Logistical 28/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Kempton (12f) 37 days ago. Bounce back called for returned to turf. Place a few times on the Flat and over hurdles, but now 0-17; more needed.
9th
9th (8) (16/1 -78%) Man Of The Sea
16/1(-78%)
(8) Man Of The Sea 16/1, Unsuited by emphasis on speed when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 115 days ago. Can be competitive from this mark back on the level. Winner of 11 races, albeit one came over hurdles and eight came on the Flat on Jersey.
10th
10th (7) (40/1 -100%) Taxiing
40/1(-100%)
(7) Taxiing 40/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in January. 12/1 and tongue strap on for first time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 56 days ago. Sole win came on the AW; this may be an inadequate test for her now.
11th
11th (13) (28/1 -211%) Silver Atom
28/1(-211%)
(13) Silver Atom 28/1, C&D winner. 5/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, soft) 10 days ago. Modest on the Flat. Sole win came over C&D and has been running with credit over hurdles; considered.
12th
12th (14) (100/1 -150%) Motasaleeta
100/1(-150%)
(14) Motasaleeta 100/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 80/1) 48 days ago. Significantly up in trip. 0-9 and modest efforts in her latest starts; up in trip.
13th
13th (12) (125/1 -150%) Golden Keeper
125/1(-150%)
(12) Golden Keeper 125/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 80/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 18 days ago. 2-24; seems to have gone the wrong way this year despite a plummeting mark.
(6) Betty Clover 7/1, Foaled February 8. Time Test filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Another Thought. Dam unraced. Yard took this with a newcomer last season and have had a couple of 2-y-o winners first time up already this term. Yard won this last year and made a similarly bright start with 2yos this time; interesting.
2
2nd (11) (9/2 +31%) Englemere
9/2(+31%)
(11) Englemere 9/2, Foaled February 18. £1,000 Goken filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 6f Family One. Highly respected on debut for good stable. Early foal; hails from a decent family of sprinters but went for just £1,000 as a yearling.
3
3rd (8) (66/1 -32%) Big Bug
66/1(-32%)
(8) Big Bug 66/1, Foaled March 15. 10,000 gns yearling, Advertise filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Ranger Thunderbolt. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Gifted Master. 66/1 and tongue strap on, seventh of 10 at Windsor (5.1f, good) on debut 4 days ago. No immediate promise when a 66-1 shot on her debut on Monday.
4

11/8(+8%)
(1) Flicka's Girl 11/8, 22,000 gns foal, £32,000 yearling, Sergei Prokofiev filly. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Ardenode. 5/2, won 6-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 18 days ago with plenty in hand. More to come and could be hard to peg back. Had a good bit in hand on her AW debut and helps set the standard under a penalty.
5th
5th (15) (14/1 -75%) Washington Dancer
14/1(-75%)
(15) Washington Dancer 14/1, Foaled February 22. 3,500 gns yearling, Washington DC filly. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f-1m winner Hearts of Fire. 9/1, third of 8 at Kempton (5f) on debut 9 days ago, keeping on (Spirited Dancer second). Could improve. Like Spirited Dancer shaped nicely after a slow start at Kempton; should improve.
6th
6th (7) (33/1 -136%) Biddable
33/1(-136%)
(7) Biddable 33/1, Foaled April 25. €12,000 yearling, Dandy Man filly. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to 5f/5.4f winner (stayed 1m) May Girl. Likely type on paper. 12,000euros (yearling) Super Sprint entrant who doesn't turn two until next Thursday.

7th (5) (9/2 -29%) Spirited Dancer
9/2(-29%)
(5) Spirited Dancer 9/2, Foaled April 5. 22,000 gns yearling, Dandy Man filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 8.6f Asdaa and 2-y-o 1m winner Revestar. 13/2, promising second of 8 at Kempton (5f) on debut 9 days ago, the penny dropping late on. Should improve. Deal of promise on her Polytrack debut last midweek and goes on the shortlist.
8th
8th (4) (14/1 +30%) Paint The Town Red
14/1(+30%)
(4) Paint The Town Red 14/1, Foaled May 8. Rajasinghe filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner Thefastnthecurious. Starts out for in-form yard who have had a 2-y-o winner already. Still a few weeks away from turning two; in-form trainer is 1-1 with 2yos this spring.
9th
9th (12) (125/1 -213%) Good Call
125/1(-213%)
(12) Good Call 125/1, Foaled April 11. €4,000 yearling. Half-sister to 11.4f winner Apologise and winner up to 9f Betfan. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 9f Charlie Farnsbarns. 10½ lengths last of 6 to Flicka's Girl in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 50/1) on debut 18 days ago, slowly away. Remote last behind Flicka's Girl on her AW debut; hard to recommend on that.
10th
10th (2) (22/1 +56%) Dynamite Diva
22/1(+56%)
(2) Dynamite Diva 22/1, Foaled February 13. 7,000 gns foal, 20,000 gns yearling, Kameko filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Le Tabou and 1m winner Shockwaves. Dam useful French 1m winner. Early-foaled 20,000gns yearling who holds a few sales race entries; watch the market.
11th
11th (3) (150/1 -200%) Forget The Past
150/1(-200%)
(3) Forget The Past 150/1, Foaled March 1. 22,000 gns yearling, Bungle Inthejungle filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Figure of Speech and 2-y-o 6f winner Epithet. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Southwell (5f, 20/1) on debut 24 days ago. Started a big price for her Southwell debut late last month and was never a factor.
12th
12th (13) (25/1 -79%) Lizzie Bubbles
25/1(-79%)
(13) Lizzie Bubbles 25/1, Foaled January 13. €6,000 yearling, Profitable filly. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 8.6f Yonafis out of smart winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner) Modeyra. Wears blinkers. Early one and likely newcomer for yard with 2-y-o winners again. Stamina in her pedigree; headgear goes on for today's debut for a yard in good nick lately.
13th
13th (14) (40/1 +0%) Sienna Gold
40/1(+0%)
(14) Sienna Gold 40/1, Foaled March 3. 10,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold filly. Dam unraced. Has a few sales race entries; market moves between her and Dynamite Diva will tell a tale.
14th
14th (9) (100/1 -150%) Bright Era
100/1(-150%)
(9) Bright Era 100/1, Foaled February 17. 16,000 gns yearling, Advertise filly. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Lady Gloria (won Select Stakes/Princess Elizabeth Stakes) from a very good family. Newcomer to note. Dam won her first two as a 2yo for the Channon yard; is worth a look in the betting.
(8) Sub Thirteen 5/1, Tongue strap on first time, eighth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 31 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ron Harris. Unplaced in six runs for Ron Harris; change of yard needs to have a positive effect.
2
2nd (1) (11/1 -38%) Kiss And Run
11/1(-38%)
(1) Kiss And Run 11/1, C&D winner on soft last autumn. Good third of 6 in novice at Goodwood (6f, soft, 16/1 final 2-y-o start. Ended 2023 on the up and unexposed on slow ground; handicapper hasn't missed her though.
3
3rd (7) (17/2 -70%) Miss Stormy Night
17/2(-70%)
(7) Miss Stormy Night 17/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded first time, third of 8 in maiden at Southwell (5f, 6/1) 34 days ago. Makes handicap debut. May well do better. Promise in three AW runs and this is more suitable; needs to settle better though.
4
4th (4) (11/1 -38%) Charlie Mason
11/1(-38%)
(4) Charlie Mason 11/1, Bit below form seventh of 12 in nursery at Kempton (6f, 9/1) when last seen in November. First run for yard after leaving David Evans. Progressive switched to nurseries last season; more required starting out for new yard.
5th
5th (10) (16/1 +0%) Damia
16/1(+0%)
(10) Damia 16/1, 18/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 14 days ago, although no match for winner. Ten-race maiden; should give her running but others appeal more for win purposes.
6th
6th (3) (10/3 +26%) Bated Breeze
10/3(+26%)
(3) Bated Breeze 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, improved third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) on reappearance 16 days ago, faring best of those held up. Can make presence felt. Promising third on recent handicap debut; more to come this year; strong claims.
7th
7th (9) (22/1 -10%) Outer Edge
22/1(-10%)
(9) Outer Edge 22/1, Modest form. 10/1, fourth of 5 in nursery at Ffos Las (5f, good to soft) in September. Off 7 months. Others are preferred. Promise here on third 2yo run; gelded over the winter; type to do better as a 3yo.
8th
8th (6) (9/2 +10%) Moe's Legacy
9/2(+10%)
(6) Moe's Legacy 9/2, Winner at Kempton in February. 13/2, below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 2 days ago. Shortlist material on pick of form. Stretched by 7f on Wednesday but in good form on AW previously and is effective over C&D.
9th
9th (5) (12/1 +0%) Part Time Britain
12/1(+0%)
(5) Part Time Britain 12/1, Modest form at 2. Off since finishing sixth of 11 in nursery (10/1) at Lingfield (6f, firm) last July. Has had wind op/tongue strap back on. Unplaced in five 2yo runs; needs a winter wind op to spark improvement.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (11/2 -10%) Clyde Bay
11/2(-10%)
(2) Clyde Bay 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in maiden (7/1) at Chelmsford (6f) when last seen in November. Appeals as a likely improver in handicaps. Progressed with each 2yo start; likely to do better in handicaps this year; check betting.
(10) Adaay In Devon 3/1, Useful filly who posted a career best when taking 6-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) 12 days ago, keeping on well. This is tougher but another bold bid is on the cards. Has resumed in good form this spring but she'd have preferred the rain to keep falling.
2
2nd (1) (11/1 -29%) Electric Storm
11/1(-29%)
(1) Electric Storm 11/1, Twice-raced winner. Two wins from 2 runs last year. 5/2, won 9-runner minor event at Kempton (6f). Off 7 months. Likely to improve. Two solid efforts at Kempton late last summer; first run over 5f/on turf; needs more again.
3
3rd (9) (10/3 +17%) Vadream
10/3(+17%)
(9) Vadream 10/3, Smart mare who scored twice last year, notably Group 2 Palace House Stakes at Newmarket in May. Couldn't match that form thereafter but returns in calmer waters here and is one for the shortlist. No penalty for last May's Group 3 win but she could have done without the improved weather.
4
4th (7) (14/1 -40%) Sophia's Starlight
14/1(-40%)
(7) Sophia's Starlight 14/1, Useful filly. Five wins from 16 Flat runs. Five wins from 12 runs last year. 11½ lengths last of 7 to Montassib in listed race (20/1) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 27 days ago. Others more persuasive. Five-time winner last year; first crack at 5f and could have done with the rain continuing.
5th
5th (4) (18/1 +36%) Pepsi Cat
18/1(+36%)
(4) Pepsi Cat 18/1, Fairly useful mare. C&D winner. Six wins from 21 Flat runs. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f, 6/1) 27 days ago. In deeper waters here. Likely to give her running again but that would leave her some way short of what's needed.
6th
6th (5) (15/2 -25%) Pinafore
15/2(-25%)
(5) Pinafore 15/2, Useful filly. Three wins from 8 runs last year. Bit below form 1¾ lengths second of 14 to Aussie Girl in listed race at the Curragh (6f, soft, 5/2), clear of rest. Off 6 months. Warrants respect. Could have done without the drying weather but cheekpieces definitely helped last backend.
7th
7th (2) (66/1 -136%) Glamorous Breeze
66/1(-136%)
(2) Glamorous Breeze 66/1, Useful mare. Three wins from 8 runs last year. 3¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Emaraaty Ana in listed race (28/1) at Ascot (5f, good to firm), running on. Off 6 months. Up against it Better than ever last year but she's among the lowest rated back from six months off.
8th
8th (3) (25/1 +11%) Lil Guff
25/1(+11%)
(3) Lil Guff 25/1, Fairly useful mare. C&D winner. 2¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Star of Lady M in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 13/2) 15 days ago. Plenty on plate here. Should come on for comeback but she'd have been 21lb better off with Vadream in a handicap.
9th
9th (12) (18/1 -29%) Tears Of A Clown
18/1(-29%)
(12) Tears Of A Clown 18/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, 7¾ lengths eleventh of 13 to Inquisitively in Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket (5f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Plenty to find on form. Pulled hard on her last run; remains open to further improvement after just four starts.
10th
10th (8) (33/1 +0%) Star Of Lady M
33/1(+0%)
(8) Star Of Lady M 33/1, Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 15 days ago. This is much tougher, though. This is far tougher back on turf and she'll be doing well to make the frame.
11th
11th (11) (40/1 -186%) Exponista
40/1(-186%)
(11) Exponista 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. 100/1, 3¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Prime Art in Firth of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, good). Off 6 months. Improvement required to figure here. Not been beaten far in a muddling Group 3 latterly but would be a surprise winner today.
12th
12th (13) (5/1 +41%) Unbreak My Heart
5/1(+41%)
(13) Unbreak My Heart 5/1, C&D winner. Excellent 2 lengths third of 13 to Inquisitively in Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket (5f, good to soft, 25/1), finishing well. Off 6 months. Merits consideration. Steady progression last year, closing out with a solid third in Group 3 company; player.
13th
13th (6) (10/1 -100%) Rage Of Bamby
10/1(-100%)
(6) Rage Of Bamby 10/1, Useful filly who found improvement when second in a handicap at the Ebor meeting at York last summer. Not in same form in 2 starts subsequently but can go well fresh and is one for the shortlist. Didn't enjoy much luck during a limited campaign last year; she's one to consider.
(6) Happy Chandler 9/1, Modest form in 2 runs at 2 yrs. Off 8 months/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Owen Burrows. Hard to fancy. Modest form in two starts for Owen Burrows last summer; needs to raise his game.
1
1st (10) (9/2 +25%) Volto Di Medusa
9/2(+25%)
(10) Volto Di Medusa 9/2, Fair form at best. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good third of 13 in maiden (12/1) at Thurles (8f, soft) when last seen. Off 6 months/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Could go well for new yard. Best effort for Joseph O'Brien last year when third on final outing; interesting.
2
2nd (5) (3/1 -9%) God Bless America
3/1(-9%)
(5) God Bless America 3/1, Twice-raced gelding. 5/1, second of 10 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) 24 days ago. Good shout if not inconvenienced by stall 12. Runner-up in both starts on the Southwell AW; form not worked out, but still a big player.
3
3rd (2) (4/1 -14%) Prefer The Sister
4/1(-14%)
(2) Prefer The Sister 4/1, 13/2, second of 5 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago. Has races in her. Has shown ability in her two starts on the AW; a player in this field.
4
4th (11) (12/1 -20%) Epidavros
12/1(-20%)
(11) Epidavros 12/1, €70,000 foal, Magna Grecia filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 1¼m winner Uncoiled. Cost a bit and not overfaced on belated debut. Nice pedigree and the stable does have winning newcomers; watch market.
5th
5th (4) (8/1 +33%) Fortnum
8/1(+33%)
(4) Fortnum 8/1, 15/2, fifth of 7 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut. Off 97 days. Might need more time and further. Green when fifth on his Wolverhampton debut in January; gelded since; watch market.
6th
6th (1) (33/1 +18%) Voix De Bocelli
33/1(+18%)
(1) Voix De Bocelli 33/1, Third in 2 French claiming hurdles. Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 100/1, fifth of 9 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 9 days ago. Has shown ability in two starts on the AW this month, but looks one for handicaps.
7th
7th (7) (13/2 -63%) Oscar Mike
13/2(-63%)
(7) Oscar Mike 13/2, 26,000 gns yearling, 32,000 gns 2-y-o, Soldier's Call colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 9f Tuwaiq and 10.7f winner Apercu. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Starts out in a very winnable contest. Makes some appeal on pedigree, but stable has few winning newcomers.
8th
8th (9) (25/1 -79%) Airgunner
25/1(-79%)
(9) Airgunner 25/1, Pearl Secret gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 7f Solar Flair and winner up to 1m Warbird, both useful. Dam 1m-1¼m winner. Worth a look starting out in thin maiden. Stable doesn't have many winning newcomers, but his pedigree makes him worth a second look.
9th
9th (8) (40/1 +0%) Tomorrow Day
40/1(+0%)
(8) Tomorrow Day 40/1, Poor maiden. Off 7 months/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Seamus Durack. Best effort for previous yard when fourth on AW on final outing; needs plenty more.

22/1(+12%)
(3) Enzo Maresca 22/1, €6,500 foal, €35,000 yearling, €13,000 2-y-o, Almanzor gelding. Half-brother to French 9f-1½m winner Rovienne and winner up to 1¾m abroad by Nathaniel. Dam French 1m winner out of smart 1m-1¼m winner Reggane. Something to like on pedigree, but only of interest if attracting support.
(10) Mini Mildred 7/2, Showed improved form and an excellent attitude when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 3/1) 4 months ago, digging deep under pressure. Just 2 lb higher for her return and she shouldn’t be underestimated. Off the mark when last seen in December (1m6f, AW); still relatively low mileage.
2
2nd (7) (8/1 -78%) Calshot Spit
8/1(-78%)
(7) Calshot Spit 8/1, Failed to improve for the step up in trip when fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 11/2) 15 days ago, weakening last ½f. Makes turf debut. Unplaced in all nine starts but he's consistent and should run his race once again.
3
3rd (8) (6/1 +40%) Kingston Sunflower
6/1(+40%)
(8) Kingston Sunflower 6/1, Gave her all under an aggressive ride after 11 weeks off when third of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 17 days ago. Likely to find a few too strong. 0-15 on the Flat; should run her race but likely vulnerable once more.
4
4th (2) (17/2 -89%) Virtual Hug
17/2(-89%)
(2) Virtual Hug 17/2, 10/3, holding his form well and notched a third win for current connections in 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 17 days ago. 3 lb higher and looks competitive on form. Three Wolverhampton wins since November, the latest 17 days ago; solid contender.
5th
5th (4) (17/2 -55%) Black Smoke
17/2(-55%)
(4) Black Smoke 17/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 11/2, ran to a similar level when third of 8 in handicap there (14f) 15 days ago. Beat Virtual Hug on AW (1m6f) last month; fair third latest; ran well here last summer.

6th (6) (9/2 +89%) Tigerten
9/2(+89%)
(6) Tigerten 9/2, 25/1, shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off when last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 52 days ago. Back up in trip. On a good mark but mixed bag for current yard and well beaten when last seen in February.
7th
7th (1) (80/1 -100%) Head Of State
80/1(-100%)
(1) Head Of State 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, again ran below form when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. No show in two runs for this yard but down in weights & up in trip with headgear added.
8th
8th (5) (16/1 +20%) Villazon
16/1(+20%)
(5) Villazon 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 25/1) 56 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Something to find on form. Handicapper looked in charge on AW the last twice; headgear added now back on turf.
9th
9th (9) (18/1 -125%) Highland Flyer
18/1(-125%)
(9) Highland Flyer 18/1, Did all he could back under more positive tactics when third of 13 in handicap at this course (13f, soft, 11/1) when last seen 6 months ago. Not ruled out if fully tuned up. Placed here over shorter on his last two starts as a 3yo; vulnerable to stronger stayers.
10th
10th (3) (9/2 +0%) Imperial Cult
9/2(+0%)
(3) Imperial Cult 9/2, Ran respectably after 5 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (16f) 23 days ago, well positioned. Entitled to come on from that, so looks to hold leading claims from 1 lb lower. 0-12 but he's shown promise and should be sharper with a recent run behind him; e-w shout.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Black Smoke has been in good form on the all-weather recently and Mark Loughnane's charge, who was on target off 1lb lower on the turf at Lingfield last August, must enter calculations. Similarly, Virtual Hug arrives in fine fettle and he appeals as a leading candidate, although it is CALSHOT SPIT who might be worth taking a chance on. The less-exposed son of New Bay doesn't have many miles on the clock and could improve now switched to turf in this sphere.
IMPERIAL CULT made a satisfactory return to action at Kempton last month and with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs he can open his account from a career-low mark. Second choice is Virtual Hug, who is holding his form well and notched a third win for current connections earlier this month. Mini Mildred and Black Smoke can fight out minor honours.
The return to turf shouldn't be an issue for VIRTUAL HUG and he can continue his good run of form. Black Smoke is next best.
(13) Havana Goldrush 9/1, C&D winner. 9/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 62 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Latest effort best excused and can't be fully dismissed. Won this race last year off 9lb higher; not at his best on AW this winter.
2
2nd (10) (17/2 +39%) Ravenglass
17/2(+39%)
(10) Ravenglass 17/2, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 11/2) 44 days ago. Not without hope. Modest strike-rate but he's run several good races on AW over the winter.
3
3rd (4) (7/2 +42%) Johnjay
7/2(+42%)
(4) Johnjay 7/2, C&D winner. 8/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (8f, firm), not ideally placed. Off 10 months. Successful here on last year's return, so one to note if the market speaks in his favour. C&D winner one year ago; held his own in Class 5 after; still has potential; contender.
4
4th (3) (11/2 +54%) Snapcracklepop
11/2(+54%)
(3) Snapcracklepop 11/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW), not clear run. Off 6 months. Liable to need the run but worth monitoring in the betting. On a losing run but eligible for Class 6 as a consequence; has gone well fresh before.
5th
5th (1) (9/4 -38%) Three Yorkshiremen
9/4(-38%)
(1) Three Yorkshiremen 9/4, 10/1, improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 6 days ago, easily. Unexposed for this yard and well worth a chance to follow up. Bolted up over 1m2f on AW last week; well in under a penalty; the one to beat.
6th
6th (8) (40/1 -21%) Emorcee
40/1(-21%)
(8) Emorcee 40/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 18/1) 58 days ago. Hard to make a solid case for based on latest efforts. Not beaten a rival in 2 AW runs for this yard; return of headgear looks a good move though.
7th
7th (9) (33/1 +50%) Thewaytothestars
33/1(+50%)
(9) Thewaytothestars 33/1, Below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 22/1). Off 179 days. Returns with something to prove. Two turf wins last year; fair mark but back from a break perhaps not the day to catch her.
8th
8th (7) (25/1 -25%) Eye Of The Water
25/1(-25%)
(7) Eye Of The Water 25/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. 33/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 98 days. Usually gives his running here and warrants a market check back from a break. Two C&D wins on good to soft last year; handy mark if ready to go after a 98-day break.
9th
9th (5) (33/1 +67%) Jade Country
33/1(+67%)
(5) Jade Country 33/1, Last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 100/1). Off 165 days. First run for yard after leaving John Flint. On a reduced mark but as a result of a tame end to his 2023 campaign.
10th
10th (6) (9/1 -13%) My Ambition
9/1(-13%)
(6) My Ambition 9/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 4/1). Off 6 months. Merits consideration. Two C&D wins last summer on firm ground; fair mark but could do with it drying out.
11th
11th (11) (40/1 -60%) Olympic Quest
40/1(-60%)
(11) Olympic Quest 40/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in January. Eighth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 15 days ago. Makes turf debut. Others more persuasive. AW win in January but less good two weeks ago; turf debut.
12th
12th (2) (10/1 -150%) Raqraaq
10/1(-150%)
(2) Raqraaq 10/1, 16/5, won 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW), always holding on. Off 153 days. Remains well treated on old form and boasts solid claims if he's tuned up. Up 4lb for his Lingfield win in November (1m, AW); fair mark still; one to consider.
13th
13th (12) (66/1 +0%) Brown Mouse
66/1(+0%)
(12) Brown Mouse 66/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f). Off 154 days. Others are more persuasive. 25-race maiden, 16 of the defeats in Jersey, and no show in two runs for new yard.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
JOHNJAY might not have been seen for 309 days but, having won over C&D on his reappearance last year, the lightly-raced four-year-old might be able to strike. Three Yorkshiremen is 2lb well-in under a 5lb penalty following his Chelmsford win six days ago but that shouldn't prevent him from mounting another stern challenge, while others to note include My Ambition and Raqraaq, who returns to action off a competitive mark.
THREE YORKSHIREMAN hasn't had much racing for his current yard and stepped up to score readily at Chelmsford recently, so he's capable of defying a penalty if in the same mood. Raqraaq is considered the main danger despite having a 5-month break to overcome and Johnjay needs considering as he bids to make another winning reappearance.
Three Yorkshiremen isn't taken on lightly but JOHNJAY, an unexposed C&D winner, is a viable alternative.
(3) Darvel 13/2, Ninth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) when last seen in October. Runner-up here on penultimate start and he could have a part to play if ready to roll. 1lb below last winning mark; off six months but has gone well fresh; contender.
2
2nd (7) (7/2 -100%) King Of Speed
7/2(-100%)
(7) King Of Speed 7/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. 10/3, respectable second of 11 in handicap at that course (8.6f) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Expected to be bang there. Still well treated on turf, 2lb lower than when winning at Leicester in May last year.
3
3rd (4) (9/1 +55%) Soi Dao
9/1(+55%)
(4) Soi Dao 9/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Seventh of 9 in handicap at the same course (8.6f, 16/1) 34 days ago. Others preferred. AW form is regressing; record of 2-31 suggests that others are more likely.
4
4th (13) (50/1 -213%) Sao Timothy
50/1(-213%)
(13) Sao Timothy 50/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 31 days ago, folding. Significantly down in trip and this 12-race maiden is hard to warm to. Runner-up at Wolverhampton in January, but modest otherwise and now 0-12.
5th
5th (11) (9/2 -13%) Golden Phase
9/2(-13%)
(11) Golden Phase 9/2, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 15/2) on latest start in November, caught further back than ideal. Headgear retained and she can be expected to make a bold bid to go one better here. Sole win came over C&D last August and placed in all four starts since; off five months.
6th
6th (5) (40/1 -21%) Angelica K
40/1(-21%)
(5) Angelica K 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, tenth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (12f) 44 days ago. Significantly down in trip for this handicap debut and improvement needed. Regressed from a promising debut, but still open to progress on turf/handicap debut.
7th
7th (12) (33/1 -106%) Mayz
33/1(-106%)
(12) Mayz 33/1, Winner at Windsor in October. 6/1, below form seventh of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, soft). Off 168 days and she's likely to find a few of these too good. Easy win at Windsor last October stands well above her other form; back from 168 days off.
8th
8th (8) (28/1 +15%) Dolores Abernathy
28/1(+15%)
(8) Dolores Abernathy 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 56 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Hasn't built on early promise since handicapping; needs to find a bit more.
9th
9th (2) (7/1 -56%) Covert Mission
7/1(-56%)
(2) Covert Mission 7/1, 9/2, fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 58 days ago. Clearly more of a force on synthetics than turf but he's a live each-way candidate all the same. Back off last winning mark and shaped with more encouragement at Kempton last time.
|U|
|U| (10) (7/2 +70%) Racing Demon
7/2(+70%)
(10) Racing Demon 7/2, Seventh of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 22 days ago, very slowly away. Third of 14 over this C&D off 5 lb higher in October and he's therefore dangerous to discount. Record suggests last month's Southwell return would have been needed; worth a second look.
10th
10th (9) (28/1 -211%) Lilandra
28/1(-211%)
(9) Lilandra 28/1, Notched third C&D success when taking an 8-runner handicap (good, 7/2) on final run of last season. Resumes on a 6 lb higher mark but will be a threat if fit enough to do herself justice. Three of her four wins have come over C&D, but her record fresh is a cause for concern.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (14/1 +79%) Kimifive
14/1(+79%)
(6) Kimifive 14/1, 125/1, last of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 60 days ago, doing too much too soon. Readily passed over. Nothing like the horse he was and three starts on the AW for this yard have been poor.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Golden Phase was in good form when last seen, but the same can be said for LILANDRA, who capped off last season with a commanding C&D victory. The Equiano mare was hit with a 6lb rise for that triumph, but that might underestimate her and stall two looks to be a positive. King Of Speed has been knocking on the door of late and he shouldn't be far away, while Darvel is no back number either.
KING OF SPEED has finished runner-up all three starts since his latest success at Wolverhampton in February and, with conditions no problem back on turf, this consistent 5-y-o is taken to get his head back in front. Golden Phase is another consistent type and she will be a major player if raring to go back from a break here, while Racing Demon has dipped to a dangerous mark and also enters calculations, along with Covert Mission and Lilandra.
The choice is KING OF SPEED who has been performing consistently on AW since the autumn and is 2lb below his last winning turf mark.

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
