|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (12/1 -100%)Subsequent |
12/1(-100%) | (1) Subsequent 12/1, In good form last autumn, including close second in this race and career-best Listed-race win at Ascot; strong signs of a form revival in the Ebor at York last time; shortlisted. Creditable, staying-on ninth of 22 at 40-1 in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm) latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (10/1 +9%)Beylerbeyi |
10/1(+9%) | (8) Beylerbeyi 10/1, Improved since upped to 12f this summer, winning three times and good fourth at Hamilton last time despite habitual tardy start; bit more needed but step up to 14f could well suit. Muddling race when bidding for a four-timer at 1m4f; now looks worth a crack at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (16/1 +36%)Roaring Legend |
16/1(+36%) | (3) Roaring Legend 16/1, Arguably that bit better on the AW but there's nothing wrong with two latest runs in two top turf handicaps, last time in the Ebor; each-way claims in reapplied cheekpieces now. Last two outings were far and away his best turf form but he needs better still. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/2 +63%)Maxi King |
9/2(+63%) | (2) Maxi King 9/2, Ran to form when reappearance third at Epsom most recent run in June; has often gone well fresh so three-month absence may not be an issue; new trainer; unproven at 14f; claims. Good 3rd at Epsom (1m4f, good) in April on final start for Raphael Freire; off again since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (5/1 -11%)Synergism |
5/1(-11%) | (13) Synergism 5/1, Progressive 3yo, mostly on the AW but has also won on turf; still competitively weighted off 3lb higher than a good second last time; may well be more to come; shortlisted. Huge improvement, on AW, in his most recent starts but he's still one to note back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (40/1 -150%)Arqoob |
40/1(-150%) | (9) Arqoob 40/1, Back to winning ways in first-time blinkers when winning muddling race at Newmarket (14f) last time; vulnerable on balance off 5lb higher in this better race. First go at 1m6f and in blinkers when he won in good style at Newmarket (five ran) latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (9/2 +0%)Shadow Dance |
9/2(+0%) | (4) Shadow Dance 9/2, Okay runs in two top handicaps this season, last time when midfield in the Ebor at York; perhaps those were needed and big chance on form of his close third in this last year. Close third in this race (good to soft) last year off 1lb higher; probable player again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (20/1 -43%)Good Show |
20/1(-43%) | (10) Good Show 20/1, Interesting on his old form and return from two years off at Goodwood back in June suggested that he retained at least a good proportion of it; more needed on that now but not dismissed. Made a respectable return over 2m in June from a long absence; withdrawn on good to firm. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (17/2 -31%)Duraji |
17/2(-31%) | (5) Duraji 17/2, Nothing like as good as his top-class brother Ghaiyyath; however, lightly-raced colt ran well enough over 1m6f at Goodwood last time to be worth considering here. 4th of 14 off this mark on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (8/1 +43%)Align The Stars |
8/1(+43%) | (6) Align The Stars 8/1, Rather patchy overall this season but did run one of his best races over 1m6f at Haydock in first-time blinkers last time, six days ago; each-way possibilities if in the same form now. 4th of 15 with blinkers at Haydock last Saturday was his most competitive run for a while. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (13/2 +24%)Promethean |
13/2(+24%) | (11) Promethean 13/2, Interesting on the pick of his 2024 3yo form, including here; off the mark in ordinary 12f maiden at Clairefontaine last time, seeing it out well; worth close consideration upped to 14f now. Deservedly off the mark last time, in 1m4f French maiden; not dismissed over this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (125/1 -56%)Nachtgeist |
125/1(-56%) | (7) Nachtgeist 125/1, Sole win came over 14f in Germany in 2023; easy to oppose on 2024 Flat form and, since joining this yard, more recent hurdles form this summer. One win (1m6f in Germany in 2023) from 20 races; inconsistent over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (80/1 -60%)Midnight Lion |
80/1(-60%) | (12) Midnight Lion 80/1, Yard won this last year; made too much use of last time but recent efforts on balance make him easy enough to oppose; often front-runs; may be better on the AW. Front-runner; opposable judged on last three runs and the big majority of his turf form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Shadow Dance appeared to find the ground on the quicker side when midfield in the Ebor on his latest start and conditions should be more favourable for last year's third. That said, the vote goes to DURAJI. Dermot Weld's colt was highly tried earlier in the year before finishing fourth in a Goodwood handicap and the switch to a more conventional track may yield improvement. Others to consider include Synergism and Arqoob.

Shadow Dance, Subsequent and Good Show are shortlisted but the top two options may be SYNERGISM and Beylerbeyi.

1st (1) (11/2 +45%)Avicenna |
11/2(+45%) | (1) Avicenna 11/2, 450,000gns yearling who was well-backed debut winner over C&D last month; this is much tougher but that was a very promising start for his leading yard. 5-6 for C&D novice (good to firm) in August and found plenty to lead final 1f, well on top. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/4 +72%)Hankelow |
5/4(+72%) | (7) Hankelow 5/4, 750,000gns yearling who was decisive winner in a 7f novice at York on debut in June; this is significantly tougher but he's totally unexposed and hails from a powerful stable. 750,000gns yearling; set for a bright future after York novice win (7f, good) 11 weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (18/1 -29%)Sir Albert |
18/1(-29%) | (9) Sir Albert 18/1, Progressive colt who showed good attitude when battling winner of a 7f nursery at Goodwood last time; acts on good/heavy and AW; major step forward needed up in grade now. Won a novice and two 7f nurseries on last three starts; steps up significantly in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (16/1 -14%)Sunset On Leros |
16/1(-14%) | (10) Sunset On Leros 16/1, Had benefited greatly for debut experience when winning a C&D novice well here last time; this is harder but he's at least useful and, unexposed, has to be considered. His novice win here (7f, good) nearly five weeks after debut was delivered in smooth style. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (3/1 +40%)Frescobaldi |
3/1(+40%) | (6) Frescobaldi 3/1, Steadily progressive colt who was improved when winning very valuable 7f maiden at York last time; this demands more but he's likely to come on again for his top yard. Third start when winning valuable Convivial Maiden at York (7f, good to firm) last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (13/2 -30%)Do Or Do Not |
13/2(-30%) | (4) Do Or Do Not 13/2, Below-par third in cheekpieces in 6f Gimcrack at York most recent run; will need to do better here but previous form, when thrice Gr 2-placed at 6-7f, sets a decent, clear standard here. Placed in four Group 2s, one over 7f, but below form latest; easily top on ratings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (50/1 -100%)Do Bronxs |
50/1(-100%) | (3) Do Bronxs 50/1, Three-raced colt (all at 6f) who showed improvement on the figures despite finishing last of five in Gr 1 at the Curragh latest; probably vulnerable to some of the improvers here. Won a maiden at Ayr but comfortably held in Listed race at Newbury and Curragh Group 1. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (50/1 -100%)Electrical |
50/1(-100%) | (5) Electrical 50/1, Looked in need of the experience when winning a novice over 6f at Newbury on debut in July; promising but big step forward needed form-wise now. Defied pedigree for 6f Newbury win (25-1) ten weeks ago; promising but bottom on ratings. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Do Or Do Not has been a model of consistency, with numerous placed efforts at Group 2 level, and the drop to Listed company after his third in the Gimcrack gives him every chance of shedding the maiden tag. However, he may be vulnerable to a less-exposed type and HANKELOW fits that bill. Karl Burke's colt made the perfect start at York in June, having cost 750,000gns at Tattersalls Book 1 last October, and the rise in grade shouldn't be too much of an issue judged on that performance. Catullus justified long odds-on without breaking sweat at Yarmouth and is respected along with Convivial winner Frescobaldi.

Do Or Do Not is well clear on ratings but produced a lesser display last time. HANKELOW and Northern Champion top the list.

1st (11) (17/2 -42%)Revival Power |
17/2(-42%) | (11) Revival Power 17/2, Sister to Nunthorpe winner Winter Power; improved all-the-way winner of 5f Listed race at York, battling on well; respected on that effort, especially as she could come on again. Gamely beat Military Code at York, taking record to 2-4; bred to do better still. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/1 +29%)Kansas |
10/1(+29%) | (4) Kansas 10/1, Just the one win in six starts but latest improved second in 5f Listed race at The Curragh entitles him to plenty of respect. Record is only 1-6; yard has stronger chance with improving Mission Central. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (8/1 +60%)Dickensian |
8/1(+60%) | (1) Dickensian 8/1, Very useful form when placed in two Listed and a Gr 3 last three times; form doesn't quite compare with the best of these though and others are preferred. Placed in notable races won by Havana Hurricane, Lady Iman and Revival Power. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4/1 +38%)Havana Hurricane |
4/1(+38%) | (3) Havana Hurricane 4/1, Hold-up performer who has shown smart form at 5-6f, including Listed-race win at Ascot (5f) in June and latest third in a 6f Gr 2 at Goodwood; return to 5f may well help; bit more needed. Windsor Castle winner who has proved a solid operator (12123); again in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (80/1 +0%)Exclamation |
80/1(+0%) | (2) Exclamation 80/1, Quite useful colt who was off the mark in a novice over C&D before latest second in a nursery at Sandown latest; lot to find. Sole C&D winner in this field but faces a very stiff task on form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/4 +18%)Mission Central |
9/4(+18%) | (6) Mission Central 9/4, Most unusually for one from this yard was gelded after somewhat wayward debut; good 6f wins at The Curragh since, last time again showing bundles of pace in a Gr 3; leading contender. Curragh Group 3 win took his form figures to 511; improving contender; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (100/1 -203%)Palmeira |
100/1(-203%) | (10) Palmeira 100/1, Maiden who showed marked improvement when close second at 28-1 in Listed fillies' race at Newbury last time; this calls for another good-sized step forward. Remains to be seen whether she can back up latest effort; still a maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (22/1 +0%)Argentine Tango |
22/1(+0%) | (7) Argentine Tango 22/1, Below-par at York last time; smart and consistent before that but needs a career-best for sure back at 5f now. Ran well behind Lady Iman in the Molecomb; form dipped last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (3/1 +0%)Lady Iman |
3/1(+0%) | (9) Lady Iman 3/1, Couldn't lay a glove on the top older speedsters in Gr 1 Nunthorpe latest and needs to bounce back now; previous win in 5f Goodwood Gr 3 sets the standard here; much respected. Held in the Nunthorpe last time; very productive (11121) otherwise; leading player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (40/1 +20%)Killavia |
40/1(+20%) | (8) Killavia 40/1, Odds-on 5f maiden winner last time; best form was previous third in a 5f Listed race, also at Sandown; significantly more needed here and up against it. Had a straightforward task last time; this is a much stiffer assignment. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

A line can be put through LADY IMAN's Nunthorpe effort and she can take full advantage back against her own age group. Her success in the Molecomb arguably sets the standard and Ger Lyons' filly can get her career back on track. Mission Central was always doing enough when landing the Round Tower at the Curragh and the drop back from 6f is unlikely to be an issue. Windsor Castle winner Havana Hurricane must be considered closely, while Revival Power landed a Listed contest at York and heads the remainder.

Improving MISSION CENTRAL gets the vote ahead of compatriot Lady Iman. A few others are also firmly in the mix.

1st (5) (10/11 +39%)Sweet William |
10/11(+39%) | (5) Sweet William 10/11, Maligned unfairly by some but record shows he'll win if the opportunity is there, as in this last year, and is very consistent in defeat, as when fine second at York latest; good chance here. Does not have the top stayers to worry about this time; big shout in Doncaster Cup defence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/2 +47%)Pendragon |
9/2(+47%) | (8) Pendragon 9/2, Steadily progressive 3yo handicapper at up to 14f; shapes as though marathon trips will probably be within range; significant step up is needed. Progressive 3yo in handicaps; dark horse venturing beyond 14.5f for the first time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/1 -64%)Hipop De Loire |
9/1(-64%) | (2) Hipop De Loire 9/1, Solid effort when sixth of 22 in the 14f Ebor last time; more is needed here but there's a chance the step up to 2m2f on the Flat will eke out a bit of improvement. Ebor sixth of 22 was his best piece of Flat form and he looked due for a return to 2m+. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (18/1 -64%)Kyle Of Lochalsh |
18/1(-64%) | (3) Kyle Of Lochalsh 18/1, Stays very well, as he underlined when winning in grand style in a handicap at Goodwood over 2m4f last time; this entire deserves a crack at a Group race but has a bit to find. Hit new heights as a handicapper when winning in grand style at Glorious Goodwood (2m4f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (14/1 -27%)Coltrane |
14/1(-27%) | (1) Coltrane 14/1, Form figures of 154 in the last three runnings of this; not quite the force he was but this season's form, including Listed-race win at Sandown last time, still entitles him to plenty of respect. Won this in 2022, creditable 4th in 2024; major place contender if the ground isn't soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (66/1 -32%)Tashkhan |
66/1(-32%) | (6) Tashkhan 66/1, Made too much use of and probably needed run last time; thorough stayer, best with some give; 7yo is not quite the force of old; others preferred. Player judged on best efforts but no trace of those since October 2023; best in the mud. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (6/1 -33%)Sunway |
6/1(-33%) | (4) Sunway 6/1, Ran well in the 2024 Leger here; similar form when only just behind Sweet William upped to 2m in Goodwood Cup two runs back; didn't look to be crying out for another 2f there though. Third in the 2024 St Leger here and half a length behind Sweet William in the Goodwood Cup. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (33/1 -83%)Oxford Comma |
33/1(-83%) | (7) Oxford Comma 33/1, Smart staying filly who made solid return when third to Kyle Of Lochalsh at Goodwood in August; unraced on good or faster; career-best needed for sure. Third to Kyle Of Lochalsh in a handicap at Glorious Goodwood (2m4f) on reappearance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

SWEET WILLIAM beat Coltrane into fourth in last year's renewal and has danced every dance at the top level this season, running with credit in each of his four starts. The Gosdens' six-year-old arguably produced his best performance of the year when second to Trawlerman in the Lonsdale Cup at York and he can retain his crown. Sunway finished just half a length behind the selection when fourth in the Goodwood Cup so he has to be of interest. Hipop De Loire is the pick of the remainder.

Last year's characterful winner SWEET WILLIAM is not quite in the top bracket but there's no Kyprios, Scandinavia or Trawlerman in this.

1st (6) (11/2 -83%)Cape Flora |
11/2(-83%) | (6) Cape Flora 11/2, Well-bred and progressive filly who came on again when making all at a decent pace at York (10.3f) last time; may well stay 12f judging by that effort; leading player despite 9lb rise. Striking wins over about 1m2f on last two starts and her illustrious family points to 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (7/1 +0%)Chilli Queen |
7/1(+0%) | (11) Chilli Queen 7/1, Gradually progressive 3yo who landed her hat-trick with success at Ascot (12f) last time, two months ago; profile suggests she may well come on again, so a definite player up 5lb. Won at Ascot last time on turf debut; bids for four in a row and is firmly on the upgrade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (22/1 +0%)Ryka |
22/1(+0%) | (10) Ryka 22/1, Generally progressive 3yo who was a narrow winner when upped to 10f (unraced at further) at Ayr last time; may well come on again but needs to, up 3lb in a better race here. Grabbed narrow wins at 1m/1m2f on two of three starts as 3yo; useful dam won at up to 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (12/1 -33%)Little Dorrit |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Little Dorrit 12/1, Thrice-raced filly who won an AW novice on second start before improved fifth (briefly met some trouble) in 12f Listed race at York latest; leading player on that good effort. 66-1 in the Listed Galtres at York (1m4f) but showed vastly improved form in fifth of nine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (2/1 +56%)Perfect Your Craft |
2/1(+56%) | (7) Perfect Your Craft 2/1, Yard has won last two runnings, both with 3yos; well backed, improved again on handicap debut over 10f here last time and is now two from three; up 5lb in tougher race now; claims. So lightly raced (2-3) and should have more to give, including at this longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (5/1 +29%)Bosphorus Rose |
5/1(+29%) | (5) Bosphorus Rose 5/1, Most progressive 3yo who did it well when winning at Thirsk last time, six days ago; 3lb well-in under her penalty; leading contender on this quick return to action. 4-5 this season and in 1m4f handicaps on last three, forging clear in the last two. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (18/1 +10%)Jujubella |
18/1(+10%) | (14) Jujubella 18/1, First win on turf when successful at Haydock in July; latest fifth to Cape Flora at York was a solid enough effort; not dismissed each-way. Creditable fifth of 13 at York latest but that indicates that improvement is needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (28/1 -40%)Manara |
28/1(-40%) | (9) Manara 28/1, Mostly creditable runs this season, including when upped to 12f and winning narrowly at Brighton last time; 3lb higher in a better race, so more is required. Progressive; this race is much stronger and all her success has been on AW or good to firm. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (40/1 +39%)Tafsir |
40/1(+39%) | (13) Tafsir 40/1, Five wins last year but none as yet in 2025; solid run when second at Thirsk last time six days ago buts she's exposed whereas the reopposing winner there is sharply progressive. Five wins last year; none this season but second over 1m4f at Thirsk last Saturday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (9/1 +44%)Warda Jamila |
9/1(+44%) | (2) Warda Jamila 9/1, Patchy overall this season but latest close fourth at Goodwood (12f) was more like it and worth considering for top trainer-jockey combination. Has not made the progress that seemed likely; acts on good to soft, unraced on soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (12/1 +14%)Kitty Furnival |
12/1(+14%) | (1) Kitty Furnival 12/1, In good form for the most part, mostly on the AW though she did win on turf at Lingfield in June; back to form when third at Southwell AW latest and solid each-way shout. Seen more on AW but won latest of four turf races, over 11.6f on good at Lingfield in June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (40/1 -186%)Bowerchalke |
40/1(-186%) | (4) Bowerchalke 40/1, Career-best form when winning on Southwell AW (11f) three starts back but much less good twice since; seems to be effective on grass; bit to prove now. No impact in two Listed races on softer than good; first turf handicap since the spring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (40/1 -82%)Bint Al Daar |
40/1(-82%) | (12) Bint Al Daar 40/1, Slipping in the weights but still easy enough to oppose on recent out-of-form efforts, especially as her stamina is unproven as she's upped to 12f now. Close third in this race last year off 10lb higher; this season has not gone well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Bosphorus Rose is a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver who has struck in three of her four handicap starts, most recently scoring by three lengths at Thirsk last week. She is sure to have her supporters, but CAPE FLORA gets the vote. The daughter of Kingman made every yard of the running to win by two and a half lengths at York's Ebor meeting and even a 9lb rise might underestimate that display. Perfect Your Craft is another to note.

Bosphorus Rose and a few others bring striking positives but it is hard to bypass CAPE FLORA (nap).

7/2(-17%) | (4) Classic Cuvee 7/2, Half-sister to nine winners, including Gr 1 scorer Legatissimo; promising second in a maiden at Newmarket (7f; third winner since); Gr 1 Fillies' Mile entry; leading contender. Promising second of six in newcomers' race at Newmarket; leading player on the figures. |

2nd (2) (2/1 +50%)Amelia Earhart |
2/1(+50%) | (2) Amelia Earhart 2/1, Yard won this last year with this season's star filly Whirl; placed in two 7f Irish maidens; form is nothing to write home about but this Fillies' Mile entry is a possible improver now. Beaten favourite in both starts but this Ballydoyle filly remains open to progress. |

3rd (8) (20/1 -100%)Leading Dancer |

10/1(+38%) | (9) Splish Splash 10/1, Promise when 2l third in a 6f maiden at Newbury (5-1) recently; will need to step up on that to be a win contender. Out of a 2yo Group 1 winner for her owners; duly showed promise in Newbury maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 -43%)Fractional |
10/1(-43%) | (5) Fractional 10/1, 5 March foal; Frankel filly; well-related filly whose dam was a Gr 1 winner as a 2yo (1m); worth a market check for her good yard. Filly by Frankel out of a 2yo Group 1 scorer; attractively bred and one to note. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (33/1 -200%)Tres Chaud |
33/1(-200%) | (10) Tres Chaud 33/1, 22 March foal; 370,000gns Too Darn Hot filly; dam useful Listed-placed filly who won at 1m; 370,000gns yearling; by Too Darn Hot; has the right ingredients; interesting newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (5/1 +33%)Wid |
5/1(+33%) | (11) Wid 5/1, 3 February foal; Wootton Bassett filly; dam top-class at 8f; leading trainer is very good with fillies; worth close attention in the betting. Filly by Wootton Bassett out of a Group 1 scorer; respected newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (33/1 -83%)Lady Gormire |
33/1(-83%) | (7) Lady Gormire 33/1, Second in 6f maiden at Haydock in July but was beaten no less than 12l by the very useful winner and improvement on that form will be needed here. No match for useful winner at Haydock; admittedly looks open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (5/1 -25%)Al Qaysiyya |
5/1(-25%) | (1) Al Qaysiyya 5/1, 5l fourth in a maiden at Newmarket on debut; started at 9-4 there while this well-bred filly hails from a top yard, so she's a potential improver. Hung left (seemingly green) when 2l behind Classic Cuvee at Newmarket; should improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (250/1 -150%)Lady Birgma |
250/1(-150%) | (6) Lady Birgma 250/1, 7 February foal; 7,000gns Shaman filly; half-sister to Popmaster, very useful at 7f; dam fair at 6f at 2yo; highly likely best watched. 7,000gns yearling; by Shaman; the least appealing newcomer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

CLASSIC CUVEE shaped with lots of promise when filling the runner-up spot on debut at Newmarket and is likely to take a big step forward from that experience. The booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye and it would be no surprise to see her get off the mark. Lady Gormire was beaten 12 lengths into second on her introduction at Haydock, but may relish this extra furlong. Al Qaysiyya isn't ruled out either.

The rematch between Classic Cuvee and Al Qaysiyya could go either way. FRACTIONAL and Wid are very interesting newcomers.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (9/4 +72%)Sword Maker |
9/4(+72%) | (7) Sword Maker 9/4, Novice winner on second start; raced freely when respectable third of four in a novice at Ripon last time; on a fair opening mark on a literal reading of that form and worth considering. Held a Champagne Stakes entry at the time of last run; likely to do better still. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (10/1 +17%)Magic Stone |
10/1(+17%) | (8) Magic Stone 10/1, Raced freely when narrowly winning a 6f maiden at Brighton last time; deserted by Tom Marquand this time but still considered off fair opening mark. Brighton win took his record to 5221; this is harder but he may improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/1 -54%)Sovereign Spell |
10/1(-54%) | (2) Sovereign Spell 10/1, Well-backed when winning a novice at Windsor over 5f by a neck last time; this opening mark is reasonable and well worth considering upped to 6f. May build on his Windsor win and show progress upped to 6f on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/2 +54%)Kinnalargy |
11/2(+54%) | (3) Kinnalargy 11/2, In good form at 5-6f in novice events prior to well held latest run in 5f Listed race at York; may be vulnerable to more obviously progressive types. Interesting on his Thirsk effort behind subsequent winners, including of the Gimcrack. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (66/1 -100%)Proof |
66/1(-100%) | (15) Proof 66/1, Maiden who hasn't progressed but did run well at Sandown (5f, soft) latest, when very much shaping as though worth another try at 6f; worth considering. Maiden; ran creditably last time but this looks a tougher task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (12/1 -50%)Peel Park |
12/1(-50%) | (5) Peel Park 12/1, No show upped to 7f at York most recent; this 350,000gns yearling has possibilities on the form of previous win in a 6f Yarmouth maiden and not discounted. Disappointing last time but showed progress earlier and may still have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (80/1 -220%)Dacres Cross |
80/1(-220%) | (13) Dacres Cross 80/1, Off the mark at Carlisle (6f) on penultimate start; since been well held in good York nursery; looks exposed relative to some of these and others preferred. Found things harder in competitive field last time; may again struggle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (5/1 -11%)Art Lover |
5/1(-11%) | (1) Art Lover 5/1, Bit in hand when he won a 6f maiden at Ffos Las last time; steadily progressive; wide draw; more needed off this opening mark but profile suggests he could well come on again. Thrice-raced colt; won going away at Ffos Las most recently; may improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (40/1 -100%)Indigo Dawn |
40/1(-100%) | (11) Indigo Dawn 40/1, Possibly not stay and/or ground too fast at Newbury (7f) latest; thrice-raced filly needs to tap into the promise of May's 6f Goodwood debut win. Has come up short in two starts since debut win; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (11/1 +8%)Born Slippy |
11/1(+8%) | (12) Born Slippy 11/1, Didn't get a clear run but still managed to land breakthrough win at Ffos Las (6f) last time; up 5lb in a better-contested race but still a definite each-way player. Sound performances since wearing tongue-tie, wining at Ffos Las latest; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (15/2 +25%)Chale Chalo |
15/2(+25%) | (6) Chale Chalo 15/2, Won a 6f maiden at Ripon decisively last time; this is much more competitive but jockey booking takes the eye and is well worth considering. Won at Ripon upped to 6f last time and looks open to further progress over this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (11/1 +31%)Irish Fighter |
11/1(+31%) | (4) Irish Fighter 11/1, 5f maiden winner in June before creditable run in the Super Sprint at Newbury; feasible opening mark but latest well beaten run in 6f Gimcrack (22-1) raises stamina doubt. Held in the Gimcrack; drops back in class but is still unproven beyond 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (16) (50/1 -178%)Dream More |
50/1(-178%) | (16) Dream More 50/1, Third in three maidens at 5-6f, last time upped to 6f at Ripon; tongue-tie first time now; needs to find more on nursery debut. Half-brother to 11 winners; may be capable of progress now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (14) (33/1 -32%)Valor Spirit |
33/1(-32%) | (14) Valor Spirit 33/1, Has made the frame in all five starts without yet winning, last time third of seven at Beverley; didn't prove 6f stamina at Carlisle on penultimate start; others preferred. Consistent maiden; could go well but needs improvement to land this event. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (10) (28/1 -133%)Veiled Truth |
28/1(-133%) | (10) Veiled Truth 28/1, Some reasonable form in defeat before overcoming some difficulties (slow start, briefly met trouble) when winning on AW at Newcastle last time; up 4lb but considered all the same. Looked value for more than the winning margin on AW last time; enters calculations. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ART LOVER has improved with every start to date and got off the mark when scoring with plenty in hand at Ffos Las. Any further progression could see William Haggas' colt double up, despite an opening mark of 87. Irish Fighter was found wanting in the Gimcrack but his previous form suggests that he can be competitive in a race of this nature, while the selection's stablemate Magic Stone is another going in the right direction. Others to note are Sword Maker, Peel Park and Sovereign Spell.

Judged on his very solid effort at Thirsk, KINNALARGY looks particularly interesting. Sword Maker is second pick.

1st (14) (15/2 -36%)Charlie Mason |
15/2(-36%) | (14) Charlie Mason 15/2, Strike-rate isn't the best though to be fair he has won twice already in 2025; running well at 5-6f, last time close second at Sandown (5f); major player. Last two efforts suggest he's on his way back to winning form; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/1 +17%)Bob Mali |
10/1(+17%) | (3) Bob Mali 10/1, Out of form so far this season, though latest run on Kempton AW was a bit more like it; slipping in the weights and well worth considering. Record of 1112 in 6f contests on softer than good; interesting if ground is slow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (16) (66/1 -100%)Impressor |
66/1(-100%) | (16) Impressor 66/1, Generally out of form in last few starts, including in three starts this year; easy enough to oppose. On a handy mark but holds weak claims on 2025 form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/1 +60%)Irish Nectar |
10/1(+60%) | (6) Irish Nectar 10/1, Down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent; blinkers first time replace cheekpieces; C&D winner who is best with some give and is a live contender if suitable conditions prevail. Has lacked consistency since C&D win last October; change of headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (20/1 +0%)Lord Bertie |
20/1(+0%) | (1) Lord Bertie 20/1, Raced freely when down the field in a classified stakes over 7f at Ascot most recent; generally out of form; usually held up; drops back to 6f; too many questions. Disappointing last week; 0-6 for current yard and now drops to 6f for first time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (8/1 +0%)Rock Opera |
8/1(+0%) | (4) Rock Opera 8/1, Poorly drawn at Ripon last time; usually consistent; wide draw; in the mix on form of his third in better race than this at York two starts back. Has made the frame in most runs this term; scored over C&D last year; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (28/1 -40%)Another Investment |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Another Investment 28/1, Won well over C&D in June; hard to completely dismiss on that evidence from the not too distant past but has lost his form since. C&D winner in June but the rest of his 2025 form is mostly duck eggs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (14/1 -56%)Woodstock |
14/1(-56%) | (7) Woodstock 14/1, Back to form with latest second in first-time blinkers at Ripon (6f); bit further suits ideally but that latest run showed he can be a force at 6f and a must for the shortlist. Went very close in first-time blinkers at Ripon most recently; enters calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (15) (7/2 +42%)City Captain |
7/2(+42%) | (15) City Captain 7/2, 3yo has done well switched to this yard this season, winning three times (all on turf) and sound latest fourth on Southwell AW; 3lb higher than last time now but high on the list. Record of 12114 for new connections; 3-3 in turf handicaps and commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (33/1 -50%)Art Design |
33/1(-50%) | (8) Art Design 33/1, Interesting on 2024 form, including stable debut second over C&D in November; however, last of 22 on sole start this season in May (has had wind op since); maybe best watched. Failed to beat a rival in sole outing this term; had wind surgery since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (14/1 -27%)Tyger Bay |
14/1(-27%) | (12) Tyger Bay 14/1, In-form 8yo pitches up here on the back of two AW wins; fair mark too while he was effective on grass as recently as spring 2024 (mostly run on AW since); shortlisted. AW wins the last twice; likely player if getting his ideal turf ground (soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (9/4 +65%)Knebworth |
9/4(+65%) | (2) Knebworth 9/4, Pick of this season's form, notably latest second at Lingfield (5f, AW) makes him shortlist material for sure; effective at 6f and on turf. Largely consistent this year; won off this mark over C&D last term; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (22/1 -22%)Uniting |
22/1(-22%) | (10) Uniting 22/1, Fair form in three 7f novices in the spring, last time on AW debut back in May; off since but of some interest handicapping back in trip now, especially if the betting speaks positively. Spring novice form (7f) has substance; open to progress now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (40/1 -43%)Valentine Catcher |
40/1(-43%) | (9) Valentine Catcher 40/1, Below-par beaten over 7f at Thirsk last time back in May; generally out of form in the spring; returning from a break; good mark if he revive but that's the big question. Needs a revival having posted three duck eggs this year, all in the spring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (50/1 -257%)Bay Breeze |
50/1(-257%) | (13) Bay Breeze 50/1, Down the field most recently but latest run was very respectable while he's feasibly weighted, off 4lb higher than when winning at Carlisle in May; knows how to win; definite contender. Balance of form since May win suggests a supporting role is most likely. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ROCK OPERA was unable to make an impression when last seen in the Great St Wilfrid, but he can be given another chance based on his narrow defeat in a valuable York handicap in July. Woodstock was touched off at Ripon last time and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Tyger Bay and City Captain should not be underestimated.

The vote goes to KNEBWORTH, ahead of Charlie Mason and City Captain. Several others are also in with a shout.

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.
