1.88/1(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Captain Kane 1.88/1, Career best when landing 5-runner handicap (9/2) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 7 days ago, readily. Enjoying a remarkable year (that was his sixth win in 10 runs) and must be respected under a penalty. | |||
2nd (5)  (2.25/1 +36%)Cappoquin |
2.25/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cappoquin 2.25/1, Maiden. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 12 days ago, dictating but fading late on. She needs to leave behind a couple of disappointing runs. | |||

1st (3)  (1.75/1 +50%)Beautiful Aisling |
1.75/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Beautiful Aisling 1.75/1, £120,000 breeze-up purchase who finished runner-up first 2 starts prior to a not disgraced eleventh of 16 in the Albany at Royal Ascot. Had a couple of re-opposing rivals behind when readily landing a C&D novice since and she may have more to offer. | |||
2nd (5)  (3.33/1 +52%)Tatterstall |
3.33/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tatterstall 3.33/1, Bungle Inthejungle colt. Improved on debut effort when second in a C&D maiden in July, headed last approaching last ½f but pulling clear of remainder. May of overdone things on the front end at Ayr (5.5f) subsequently. Handicap debut. | |||
3rd (7)  (11/1 -69%)Let's Go Hugo |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Let's Go Hugo 11/1, Promise on debut over C&D in April and, having seemingly not been himself back here in May, he quickly resumed progress to land 7-runner Catterick novice (5f) in July. Respectable third under a penalty at Musselburgh since and switch to handicaps a plus now. | |||
4th (6)  (40/1 -122%)Parr Fire |
40/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Parr Fire 40/1, Speedily-bred filly who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Doncaster (5f) in May. However, not scaled same heights since, 7¼ lengths fourth of 5 to Beautiful Aisling in a C&D novice 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track. | |||
5th (4)  (6/1 -71%)Not For Profit |
6/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Not For Profit 6/1, Profitable colt who arrives having took his career record to 2-4, displaying a willing attitude to come out on top in a Ripon novice (5f) 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead post. No reason why he won't go well again no nursery bow. | |||
6th (2)  (5.5/1 -22%)California Gem |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) California Gem 5.5/1, Much-improved from debut when opening account in a Ripon maiden (5f) in June and made short work of her penalty when following up in a C&D novice in July. Nursery debut effort at Goodwood proved disappointing but she may yet bounce back. | |||
7th (8)  (7.5/1 -7%)Greenroad |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Greenroad 7.5/1, Well served by drop back to 5f when off the mark in a C&D novice last month. Creditable third faced with stiffer task when 4 lengths third of 5 to Beautiful Aisling back here 17 days ago but much better off at the weights with that rival now handicapping. | |||
8th (9)  (33/1 -50%)Mia Paradis |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mia Paradis 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, looked unlucky not to finish closer when fifth of 6 in nursery at Lingfield (5f, AW) 8 days ago, headway final 1f but short of room final 100 yds. However, this looks a much more demanding affair. |

1st (9)  (3.2/1 +29%)The Grey Lass |
3.2/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Grey Lass 3.2/1, 15/2, turned in best effort of the season when second of 11 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, well drawn. Tongue strap applied to the usual visor and and a bold bid is anticipated. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.62/1 -62%)Sugar Baby |
1.62/1(-62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sugar Baby 1.62/1, 3 wins from 6 runs this year. 2/1, didn't need to improve to win 5-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago, asserting final 100 yds having disputed lead throughout. High on the shortlist in this hat-trick bid with claimer back on board. | |||
3rd (8)  (12/1 +45%)Muatadel |
12/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Muatadel 12/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Fared better than of late when fifth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 32 days ago. Not taken lightly with the blinkers back on. | |||
4th (4)  (7.5/1 +17%)Imperial Khan |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Imperial Khan 7.5/1, 15/2, too free to do himself justice when last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Hopes pinned on a first-time visor channelling his exuberance. | |||
5th (2)  (12/1 +33%)Dapper Man |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dapper Man 12/1, 15/2, ran one of this season's lesser races when eighth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly. | |||
6th (5)  (22/1 -38%)Fylingdale |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fylingdale 22/1, Winner at Catterick in June. Not in same form when eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 11/2) 68 days ago, soon on the back foot after a slow start from her wide draw. Must bounce back. | |||
7th (7)  (7.5/1 +32%)Gorgeous General |
7.5/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gorgeous General 7.5/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago, never nearer after short of room over 1f out. Back in Class 6 company today but others look stronger. | |||
8th (6)  (10/1 +0%)Tiberio Smile |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tiberio Smile 10/1, 17/2, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good) 27 days ago, headed inside final 1f having helped force pace. Yet to get her head in front but may well hit the frame. |

1.62/1(+77%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Birdie Bowers 1.62/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Southwell (5f, 10/1) 14 days ago. Had a bit to spare so a 5 lb rise may not prevent another prominent showing. Engaged 7.50 Redcar Saturday. | |||

5.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Zoom Star 5.5/1, Shed maiden tag in this race 12 months ago prior to following up from 2 lb higher mark at Catterick (5f) in October.

7.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Marselan 7.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, 3 lengths fifth of 11 to Foreseeable Future in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, faced with a difficult draw. Still, others appeal more for win purposes. | |||

7th (3)  (16/1 -33%)Duke Of Firenze |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Duke Of Firenze 16/1, Veteran campaigner who went close from 1 lb higher mark at Wolverhampton (5f) in July but exploits have been mixed since, going with little fluency and always behind when last of 7 back at that venue 11 days ago. | |||

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.
