1st (5)  (2/1 +33%)Time Patrol |
2/1(+33%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Time Patrol 2/1, Winner over C&D on last start in April; hit the line well there; pretty consistent contender; up 2lbs here; looks the one to beat 3-4 on ground quicker than good; fairly snug win over C&D latest; 2lb nudge no bother. |
|
2nd (6)  (4/1 +33%)Candy Warhol |
4/1(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Candy Warhol 4/1, Both wins have been on AW over 6f; lightly raced on turf; not the most convincing claims Made all in two of his last four (AW); excuses last time; 0-4 on turf but not ruled out. |
|
3rd (4)  (5/1 -25%)Harry Brown |
5/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Harry Brown 5/1, Unlucky not to be closer last time; ran on when in the clear; not won on turf; three time winner at the trip; down 3lb and has a chance Won on AW two starts ago and didn't get the breaks on turf last time; should go well. |
|
4th (7)  (25/1 +0%)Roman Emperor |
25/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Roman Emperor 25/1, Has failed to build on a neck second on first start this year; last two starts have been poor over C&D; unrelieable Has been regressing, including over C&D, and blew the start last time; hard to fancy. |
|
5th (3)  (2/1 +20%)Forever Noah |
2/1(+20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Forever Noah 2/1, Lightly raced and only once over the trip; generally consistent; not seen since August; needs to be ready to go, but that is very possible for a powerful yard Question mark about return to 6f but unexposed and respected on this return for top yard. |
|
6th (2)  (16/1 -129%)Nelson Rose |
16/1(-129%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Nelson Rose 16/1, Her two wins have come over C&D on good to firm, including on penultimate start; flopped back on AW on last start; first start for new yard; has to be considered just 1lb above last winning mark Twice made all over C&D last summer; yard debut and can give it a good go if ready to rock. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Scott Dixon and connections landed the corresponding event 12 months ago, and they could do so once more courtesy of CANDY WARHOL. The gelded son of Twirling Candy has gained his first victories on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton recently and although yet to show his best on turf, he is unexposed on the surface. The six-year-old is well handicapped on past exploits and is taken to repel the likely challenge of recent C&D winner Time Patrol. Nelson Rose is another to consider.
There are other possibilities but TIME PATROL (nap) is hard to ignore up 2lb for a cosy win over C&D 26 days ago.

8/11(-9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Critical Aclaim 8/11, Runner up in all three starts; first and third from debut have won three times between them; looks the one to side with All three starts at 7f on AW; best form last time and sets the standard on his turf debut. |
|
2nd (4)  (5/4 +44%)Saliko |
5/4(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Saliko 5/4, Ideally suited by trip when second beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden over 8.5f at Wolverhampton latest; back in trip; new yard today and gets weight; chance Respectable runs all three starts; drop to 7f not a clear plus; still a danger; new yard. |
|
3rd (3)  (20/1 -25%)Love You Millions |
20/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Love You Millions 20/1, 22,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Ghaiyyath; half-sister to Lessay, useful at 7f; dam unraced half sister to three black type winners. Watch the market. 22,000euros 2yo; half-sister won on her 2yo debut but likely best watched; hooded. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CRITICAL ACLAIM has filled the runner-up spot on each of his three racecourse appearances so far, and this looks a fine opportunity in which to go one better. Richard Hughes' charge sets a useful standard with an official rating of 79 and will take all the beating if handling the switch to turf. Saliko is the main threat, while Love You Millions is a newcomer to note.
Saliko has the ability to win races but CRITICAL ACLAIM is a notch above her and can win his first race on this turf debut.

3/1(+14%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sol Argent 3/1, Slowly away down the field in a nursery over 9f at Wolverhampton most recent; a couple of more encouraging runs last year; first time blinkers need to assist Flopped last time but previous AW run was promising; not ruled out back on turf; blinkered. |
|
2nd (2)  (85/40 +6%)Queen Sansa |
85/40(+6%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Queen Sansa 85/40, In need of the experience beaten 4l in a novice over 7f at Wolverhampton last time; lightly raced and can do better on handicap and turf debut Clear ability on two of three runs; interesting on this turf/handicap debut upped in trip. |
|
3rd (1)  (85/40 +65%)Rumseg |
85/40(+65%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rumseg 85/40, Appeared not to stay when down the field in a handicap over 8f at Lingfield most recent; up a further 2f here and needs to show better Gelded since running poorly in blinkers (discarded) on AW latest; up in trip back on turf. |
|
4th (5)  (9/1 -38%)Clipsham Noble |
9/1(-38%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Clipsham Noble 9/1, Slowly away beaten 2l off 45 here last time; not proven trip; patchy form; not out of it Struggling on AW but a career-best RPR over C&D last week; chance if he can build on it. |
|
5th (4)  (7/1 -100%)Ballarat Bertie |
7/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ballarat Bertie 7/1, Badly hampered last time before almost falling; trip should be fine; fairly consistent and got his nose in front in March (Wolves); top of the shortlist Won on AW (9.5f) in March; badly hampered latest; can go well now back on turf. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Sol Argent ran in snatches at Wolverhampton when last seen in December, but first-time blinkers could sharpen him up and returning to turf looks a positive. However, preference is for QUEEN SANSA. The Almanzor filly had shown ability in maiden/novice company but stepping markedly up in trip ought to suit and it would come as no surprise were she to find improvement on her turf/handicap bow. Rumseg completes the shortlist.
Four of these have something to recommend them but QUEEN SANSA is the most interesting now upped in trip on her turf and handicap debut.

7/2(-75%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sea Of Charm 7/2, Has been a bit unlucky in two starts this year; still ran a decent second last time over today's trip (Wolves); yet to win on turf, but in the mix Three-time AW winner who was runner-up at Wolverhampton last time; claims back on turf.. |
|
2nd (4)  (3/1 +50%)Sawgrass |
3/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sawgrass 3/1, Going probably on fast side beaten 9l in a handicap over 10f here last time; same again today; beaten by quite big distances on all four starts; down 3lbs, but needs improvement Failed to improve when switched to 1m2f handicap; well bred and may have more to offer.. |

|
4th (2)  (11/1 -83%)Jenson Benson |
11/1(-83%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jenson Benson 11/1, Didn't look like winning last time, but would have been closer if not hampered; reasonably consistent; up to this trip for the first time; small chance All four wins have been on Chelmsford AW and he's yet to prove his stamina for this far.. |
|
5th (6)  (10/3 +44%)Foinix |
10/3(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Foinix 10/3, Ran to form 10l third in a handicap over 1m6f at Chelmsford most recent run; a winner over C&D in August; back on turf is a positive C&D winner last year; 10l third of six at Chelmsford (1m6f) last time; place claims.. |
|
6th (7)  (7/1 +30%)Honrado |
7/1(+30%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Honrado 7/1, Wide trip beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; generally out of form; seeking first win; 2lbs lower today; a small shout Yet to build on January's runner-up effort at Lingfield; 0-16 and others preferred.. |
|
7th (1)  (33/1 -136%)Eloso |
33/1(-136%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Eloso 33/1, Last of nine last time, but that was after 302 days off; entitled to do a bit better today; has won over the trip; chance 1m2f win here in 2022 (stays 1m4f); last of nine over 1m recently after 302-day absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
IREZUMI only found a well-fancied rival too good over track and trip last time and competes off an unchanged rating. The five-year-old's sole career victory came at this venue and it would be no surprise to see him return to winning ways. Sea Of Charm occupied the runner-up berth at Wolverhampton on her latest outing and is likely to be thereabouts, while Foinix completes the shortlist.
Course winner IREZUMI may be able to double his tally having bumped into a rapid improver here last time. Sea Of Charm is respected.

15/8(+66%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Zu Run 15/8, Raced freely beaten a length off 65 at Wolverhampton last time; often races handy; two time winner over 7f on AW; down 1lb and makes the shortlist Has been running creditably on AW but the switch to this grass poses a question.. |
|
2nd (5)  (11/2 +0%)Mashaan |
11/2(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mashaan 11/2, Travelled well when scored by 4l off 50 at Lingfield three starts back; keen last time; reasonably consistent of late; 7f is good; chance Four-time AW winner; 8lb higher than the most recent of those wins; place claims.. |
|
3rd (3)  (5/1 +50%)Harbour Vision |
5/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Harbour Vision 5/1, Ran ok last time; up 1lb; would seem he is better suited to the AW; still has a chance here Sole win on turf came in 2020; returned to form at Wolverhampton last time; claims.. |
|
4th (1)  (2/1 +75%)Bella Taslina |
2/1(+75%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bella Taslina 2/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 2 1/4l off 69 at Southwell last time; new trainer today; a winner over the trip; in with a chance Won on handicap debut off 1lb higher; makes yard debut on her first start for 203 days.. |
|
5th (2)  (15/2 -36%)Purefoy |
15/2(-36%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Purefoy 15/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off 65 at Thirsk last time; may not relish fast ground; first start for new trainer; not the most reliable AW winner who makes his yard debut having been purchased for 8,000gns in October.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Kranjcar made it two wins from his last three starts when justifying favouritism over track and trip last month and holds an obvious chance. However, PUREFOY showed a lot more when finishing third at Thirsk when last seen and returns off the same mark. The four-year-old makes his first outing for the George Baker yard and may record a second career success. Zu Run is another to note.
Harbour Vision and Mashaan are likely to run well but KRANJCAR is taken to follow up his C&D win under today's penalty.

6/4(+40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Port Hedland 6/4, Third last time and the winner has gone in again since; patches of decent form; down 1/2f here; of some interest Finished third on AW in all three starts for this yard; respected returning to turf.. |
|
2nd (4)  (11/1 -144%)Victors Dream |
11/1(-144%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Victors Dream 11/1, C&D winner last year; not at best here in September; slowly away last time when running well; 1lb below last winning mark and should go very close Sole win came in a C&D classified event last June; respected on his reappearance.. |
|
3rd (6)  (11/1 -10%)Bankrupt |
11/1(-10%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bankrupt 11/1, Generally out of form before winning in January; hasn't remained at that level in three subsequent starts; hard to be confident Well beaten at Wolverhampton last time and he needs the blinkers to make a difference.. |
|
4th (3)  (7/4 +42%)Anglesey Lad |
7/4(+42%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Anglesey Lad 7/4, Two decent runs here on last two starts (third on both); down in trip today (beaten a neck over C&D in May 2024); has a top chance 0-16 but he's finished third here on his last two starts; should go well again.. |
|
5th (5)  (33/1 -230%)Battleofbaltimore |
33/1(-230%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Battleofbaltimore 33/1, Not the clearest of runs when last seen in September; starts for a new trainer today; others have better claims Sole win came in a classified event at Yarmouth; off since September and left Dylan Cunha. |
|
6th (2)  (9/2 +10%)Mehmo |
9/2(+10%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mehmo 9/2, Ran to form last time off 52; fairly consistent this year without winning; has previous form that would put him in the mix Six-time winner; has posted some good efforts for this yard; can run well.. |
|
7th (7)  (25/1 +0%)Battle Point |
25/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Battle Point 25/1, Could have done with a slightly clearer run last time, but didn't look like winning; Anglesey Lad was in front of him that day and should confirm that; needs more Finished behind Anglesey Lad when sixth here last time; 1-36 and others are preferred.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ANGLESEY LAD has made the frame in each of his last two starts over 6f at this venue and remains on the same rating. With Mikkel Mortensen claiming a handy 5lb this time around, he could be the one to beat. Port Hedland has run to a fair level in each of his three outings since switching to the Tony Carroll yard and is an interesting contender back on turf. Of the remainder, Mehmo makes the most appeal.
Anglesey Lad has been placed in each of his starts here but MEHMO is taken to make a winning return to turf.

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.
