|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2)  (5/1 +29%)Bobsleigh |
5/1(+29%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bobsleigh 5/1, Elzaam gelding. Dam 7f/1m winner who stayed 10.5f. Handled Brighton's undulations well when making a winning debut in 6-runner maiden last month in ready fashion. More to come and not to be underestimated. | |||
2nd (1)  (4/1 -14%)Balon D'Or |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Balon D'Or 4/1, Bred to be sharp and certainly knew what was required when landing 8-runner novice at Musselburgh on debut. Similar form when third in a class 2 at Chester next time and should be in the mix again. | |||
3rd (3)  (2.25/1 +25%)Haatem |
2.25/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Haatem 2.25/1, Phoenix of Spain colt who confirmed Goodwood debut promise when forging clear in Bath maiden 16 days ago. More to come and high on shortlist. | |||
4th (12)  (25/1 -25%)Maymay |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Maymay 25/1, Cloth of Stars filly who was much better for debut when runner-up in 14-runner novice at Newmarket 2 weeks ago, but another step forward is required. | |||
5th (10)  (25/1 -56%)Land Lover |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Land Lover 25/1, £40,000 yearling, Land Force colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 6f-1m winner Miss Sugars and 11f/1½m winner Sir Prize. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Looked in need of the run when fourth of 7 in class 2 novice at York so should do better here. | |||
6th (11)  (80/1 -60%)Rednblue Sovereign |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Rednblue Sovereign 80/1, €25,000 yearling, resold €60,000 yearling, Ten Sovereigns colt. Dam ran twice out of lightly-raced half-sister to high-class winner up to 14.6f Kingston Hill. Showed ability though was never on terms in a Newbury maiden 2 weeks ago. Up against it. | |||
7th (5)  (4.5/1 +10%)The Camden Colt |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Camden Colt 4.5/1, Footstepsinthesand colt who left debut behind as expected when making all on Haydock novice last week. Likely to improve again so considered. | |||
8th (8)  (33/1 -65%)Fifty Grand Slater |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fifty Grand Slater 33/1, 38,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Dam placed at 7f from 3 starts. Proved no match for a smart prospect at Ripon 12 days ago and needs to take a big step forward. | |||
9th (9)  (50/1 -52%)Glandford |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Glandford 50/1, 55,000 gns yearling, 80,000 gns 2-y-o, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 6f-7f winner Priscilla's Wish and winner abroad by Cityscape. Showed plenty to work on when fourth in Wetherby maiden but may need this again given how green he was. | |||
10th (6)  (12/1 -60%)Valour And Swagger |
12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Valour And Swagger 12/1, Blue Point colt who easily landed 3-runner novice event at Windsor on debut. Good second under a penalty at Ascot since, shaping very much as though ready for 6f. Raced on soft/heavy. | |||
11th (4)  (66/1 -65%)Myconian |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Myconian 66/1, Magna Grecia colt who hasn't kicked on since winning a newcomers race at Saint-Cloud in March. Others preferred. | |||
12th (7)  (9/1 +10%)Yorkshire Terrier |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Yorkshire Terrier 9/1, Quickly resumed winning ways when defying a penalty at Southwell last month, forging clear. 6f should suit and not taken lightly. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
VALOUR AND SWAGGER was an impressive winner on debut at Windsor before attempting to give 3lb and upwards to his rivals when finishing second in what appeared to be a warm contest at Ascot. The extra furlong is unlikely to be a concern and he is taken to continue the stable's fine run of form in this division. Balon D'or shaped well from a bad draw when third at Chester and warrants plenty of respect, with the Richard Hannon pair Haatem and The Camden Colt appealing most of the remainder.
The Richard Hannon stable has an excellent record in this, and it has a strong chance of enhancing that with HAATEM and The Camden Colt, the former getting the vote given how he forged clear at Bath. Valour And Swagger is just about the pick on form, and he will be suited by this extra 1f, so is another for the shortlist.
Brighton winner BOBSLEIGH gets the vote in an open-looking Woodcote. Balon D'Or is second choice.

1st (6)  (7/1 +0%)Austrian Theory |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Austrian Theory 7/1, Gelded ahead of return and bettered previous efforts this year when third in 11-runner Chester handicap (7.6f) 6 days ago, doing best of those ridden close up from a less-than-ideal draw. Lines up here operating 3 lb below last winning mark and not dismissed lightly. | |||
2nd (9)  (7/1 -17%)Dutch Decoy |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dutch Decoy 7/1, Five-time 7f/1m winner in 2022 who has eased a shade in weights and confirmed himself back in good heart when fourth in 13-runner Hamilton handicap (8.3f) 3 weeks back, keeping on without being ideally placed. Handy draw to work from and no surprise to see him thereabouts. | |||
3rd (8)  (5.5/1 -10%)All The King's Men |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) All The King's Men 5.5/1, Fairly useful, dual winner in France who has raised his game for present yard, well on top finish when successful at Lingfield (7f) in January. Consistency hard to knock in 3 starts since, third in solid looking Thirsk handicap 2 weeks ago. Unexposed at this trip and he's interesting. | |||
4th (2)  (18/1 -29%)Orbaan |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Orbaan 18/1, Gained deserved big-field handicap success in Golden Mile at Goodwood last summer and followed up in small field classified event at Ascot (7f) in August. Solid efforts in defeat thereafter but he's been operating below best in 2 starts upon returning this spring. | |||
5th (5)  (4.5/1 +25%)Fantastic Fox |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fantastic Fox 4.5/1, Dual 1m winner as a 3-y-o who ran best race last term when third in this race from a 5 lb higher mark, noted doing best work late on. Very lightly raced since and probably best not judged too harshly on pair of midfield efforts at 10f faced with soft ground in recent months. | |||
6th (10)  (12/1 +33%)Repertoire |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Repertoire 12/1, Ran out an impressive 6 length winner on reappearance at Ascot (1m) last spring. Handicapper seemed in control thereafter but back on last winning mark, showed benefit of his return when scoring at Newmarket (1m) 2 weeks ago. 4 lb rise may be enough to prevent a follow up, however. | |||
7th (3)  (25/1 +0%)Alrehb |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Alrehb 25/1, Remains relatively low mileage and found improvement to score twice on AW earlier this year, latterly Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton. Exploits on turf subsequently have been disappointing though, so tough to assess at present. | |||
8th (13)  (18/1 +28%)Two Tempting |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Two Tempting 18/1, 1m winner on AW who has developed into a likeable type, just touched off on his latest start at Kempton (1m) 9 days ago, noticeably travelling well and headed post. Operating from out of the weights in this deeper affair but handy draw to work from and good showing anticipated. | |||
9th (1)  (6/1 +0%)Revich |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Revich 6/1, Several excellent efforts despite failing to win in 2022, including when second in this race from 6 lb lower mark. Stepped up with each outing this campaign, things panning out perfectly for him when enhancing good Chester record 3 weeks ago. Good pace to aim at will aid his cause. | |||
10th (12)  (25/1 +0%)Maysong |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Maysong 25/1, Consistent sort who was better than ever when resuming winning ways at Redcar (1m, heavy) in April. Respectable third at Leicester next time and probably not helped by where he raced at Chester latest. Still, he's yet to defy a mark this high and this deeper. | |||
11th (4)  (6/1 -9%)Rhoscolyn |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rhoscolyn 6/1, Smart handicapper (course winner) who went winless last term but his mark has eased and better for return when not disgraced tenth in last month's Victoria Cup at Ascot. Certainly lurking on a handy mark if building on that back up in trip. | |||
12th (7)  (16/1 +0%)Hodler |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hodler 16/1, Progressive form as a 3-y-o, winning 3 times over 7f and runner-up on final 2 starts of that campaign, here and Newmarket. Fitter for first 2 starts this term and benefited from appreciable drop in grade to resume winning ways at Chester (7f) 23 days ago but this understandably tougher. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A case can be made for plenty of these but marginal preference is for FANTASTIC FOX, who is 5lb lower than when third in this race last year. His two efforts this year over 1m2f have both suggested that a drop back in trip would suit the son of Frankel. Revich finished a place in front of the selection 12 months ago and is an obvious threat following his Chester success three weeks ago. Others to note are All The King's Men and Rhoscolyn.
It could just pay to side with ALL THE KING'S MEN. An all-round improved model upon joining George Boughey, he ran another solid race when third at Thirsk 13 days ago and, unexposed granted this sort of test, all looks set fair for another big run now equipped with first-time blinkers. Course-winner Rhoscolyn is lurking on a handy mark and is worth a look, with the Charlie Johnston pair Austrian Theory and Dutch Decoy also making some appeal.
The return to Epsom may well enable RHOSCOLYN to belatedly regain the winning thread. Fantastic Fox is second choice.

1st (5)  (2.75/1 +8%)Emily Upjohn |
2.75/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Emily Upjohn 2.75/1, Most unlucky second in the Oaks over C&D last June, stumbling at start and forced wide. Signed off for 2022 with an emphatic success (hooded) in Fillies and Mares at Ascot in October. Very much the type to progress further at 4 yrs. Big shout in receipt of 3 lb from all her rivals. Largely progressive filly; unlucky second in the Oaks on this day last year; big player. |
|||
2nd (4)  (2.5/1 -11%)Westover |
2.5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Westover 2.5/1, High-class 3-y-o who was third in the Derby before landing the Irish equivalent last summer. Made a promising return when second of 10 to Equinox in Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan (12f) in March. Well in the mix. Luckless third in last year's Derby then won the Irish version; leading player back here. |
|||
3rd (2)  (3.5/1 +36%)Point Lonsdale |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Point Lonsdale 3.5/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who has resumed better than ever this spring with successes in 10f Alleged Stakes at the Curragh and Huxley Stakes at Chester. This first go over 12f should yield further improvement so he's very much one to consider. Couple of 1m2f wins this term; bred to be suited by 1m4f; progressive in the main. |
|||
4th (3)  (7.5/1 +6%)Tunnes |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tunnes 7.5/1, Wide-margin winner of Deutsches St Leger at Dortmund and Grosser Preis von Bayern at Munich last autumn. Returned with a good second in Carl Jaspers Preis at Cologne so this very smart German colt can't be discounted. German colt who has possibilities judged on wide-margin Group 1 win last November. |
|||
5th (1)  (4/1 +0%)Hurricane Lane |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hurricane Lane 4/1, 2021 Irish Derby/St Leger winner. Only lightly raced since and looked on the wane until bouncing back to his best in first-time cheekpieces when emphatically landing Jockey Club at Newmarket last month. Player in retained headgear. Revived in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket four weeks ago; triple G1 winner in 2021. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Just five runners line up for this valuable Group 1 prize, but the small field doesn't make this an easy puzzle to solve, with the vote going to EMILY UPJOHN. John and Thady Gosden's filly was a very good winner at Ascot on Champions Day in October and if returning to the track in similar form, she will take the beating in this contest. Hurricane Lane has already had a few runs this season and bounced back when scoring over 1m 4f at Newmarket when last seen, while last year's Derby third Westover also commands respect.
EMILY UPJOHN looked a top-class filly in the making when a most unfortunate Oaks second over C&D last summer and is fancied to return in style and make the most of her 3 lb sex allowance. All of the remaining quartet can be give a chance but last year's Irish Derby hero Westover could emerge as the chief threat to the Gosdens' filly with Hurricane Lane and Point Lonsdale also well in the mix in a fascinating Coronation Cup.
The percentage call goes to WESTOVER, with Emily Upjohn second choice, in a fascinating Coronation Cup.

1st (2)  (12/1 +14%)Cadillac |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cadillac 12/1, Won listed race at Leopardstown and good second in Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot for Jessica Harrington last June. Hasn't scaled same heights since, never better than midfield (also gelded) on return at Newmarket 4 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on now. Well beaten on return; blinkered once (won well) and now tries cheekpieces. |
|||
2nd (9)  (3.33/1 +33%)Majestic |
3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Majestic 3.33/1, Won the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on final 4-y-o start and essentially made solid return to action, quickly back to his best when staying on fourth in 13-runner York handicap (10.2f) 2 weeks ago. May have a little more to offer at this trip on that evidence. Close 4th to Marhaba The Champ at York latest, coming from the back to show he stays 1m2f. |
|||
3rd (11)  (50/1 +0%)The City's Phantom |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) The City's Phantom 50/1, Built up an excellent record when fresh (all 3 career victories at Yarmouth) but without cheekpieces (refitted here) he ran below form on the back of 7 months off when fourteenth in 17-runner Newmarket handicap (9f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Others make more appeal. 9th in this last year (albeit off 9lb higher) suggests this assignment will prove too hot. |
|||
4th (10)  (9/1 -13%)Toshizou |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Toshizou 9/1, Useful operator for Joseph O'Brien and not far off that level for new yard when fourth in big field Newmarket handicap (9f, soft) on penultimate start last month. Not ideally drawn and unable to land a blow when eighth in handicap at York (7.8f) since and he's on a handy mark on balance. Came from last to fourth in a good 17-runner race at Newmarket (1m1f) on penultimate start. |
|||
5th (8)  (9/1 -6%)Dual Identity |
9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dual Identity 9/1, Improved throughout last year, finishing third behind Majestic in Cambridgeshire (first home in his group). Enough encouragement to glean from pair of efforts this spring to suggest current mark is workable and not underestimated here. Close third to Majestic in the Cambridgeshire; near that form behind Honiton two weeks ago. |
|||
6th (7)  (4/1 +20%)Marhaba The Champ |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Marhaba The Champ 4/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who resumed progress on back of 7 months off/returned to firmer ground when landing 13-runner York handicap (10.2f) 2 weeks ago, an effort backed up by the clock. 2 lb rise in weights shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Tongue tie on 1st time. 1m2f win at York on return; just six races, so he may well be open to further improvement. |
|||
7th (5)  (16/1 -33%)Bad Company |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bad Company 16/1, Reliable operator who was all the better for his reappearance effort when landing heavy ground C&D handicap in April. Beaten only by another arriving at top of his game at Goodwood (9.9f) 4 weeks ago. This mark demands more but highly likely he can give another good account. In career-best form and goes well here; more to prove if the ground is good to firm. |
|||
8th (6)  (33/1 -10%)Lord Protector |
33/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lord Protector 33/1, Back to winning ways in 1¼m Sandown handicap last June. Unlucky not to finish closer when fifth of 18 at Glorious Goodwood next time but was well held at the Ebor meeting on final 2022 start and something to prove following pair of low-key efforts so far this term. Soft ground this term may not be an excuse; on a good mark if back to his best. |
|||
9th (3)  (8/1 +11%)Masekela |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Masekela 8/1, Listed winner at 2 who was an excellent fourth in the Derby last June. Signed off last season with pair of good in-the-frame efforts and not better for return when ninth in 13-runner York handicap (10.2f) 14 days ago. Eased 3 lb subsequently. Handy mark judged on best efforts, including fourth here in the Derby; not so good in 2023. |
|||
10th (4)  (7/1 -75%)Honiton |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Honiton 7/1, Sandown maiden winner (10f) last summer who left his reappearance run on testing ground in his wake when doubling his tally in 10f Newmarket handicap 14 days ago, asserting final 1f and staying on well. Only 3 lb higher now and type his excellent yard can eke a little more from. Off in 2022 after Royal Ascot; gelded after; resumed progress with a Newmarket 1m2f win. |
|||
11th (1)  (7.5/1 -7%)Savvy Victory |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Savvy Victory 7.5/1, Improved during second half of last year, resuming winning ways at Goodwood (9f) before big effort to finish fifth in Cambridgeshire. Produced just about his best effort yet when second in 9-runner Chester handicap (10.3f) 3 weeks ago and he's in the mix once more. Good 2nd off 2lb lower at Chester latest, boosting hopes that he will handle this track. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The lightly-raced MARHABA THE CHAMP showed the benefit of his latest wind operation when winning a decent prize at York a fortnight ago. The son of Galileo has a live chance of following up off just a 2lb higher today and another big run can be expected. Honiton also won in good style last time out and is feared most, while the locally-trained Bad Company is the pick of the remainder.
Plenty of these arrive with claims and with that in mind it may pay to take a chance on TOSHIZOU. There's been encouragement to glean from his exploits over shorter trips in recent weeks and, still unexposed at 1¼m, he could well represent a spot of value from his easing mark partnered by Hollie Doyle. Honiton and Dual Identity are others to consider, with York-scorer Marhaba The Champ also firmly in the mix.
Further improvement from the lightly raced MARHABA THE CHAMP could see him follow up his reappearance win at York.

(8)  (5/1 +23%)Running Lion |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Running Lion 5/1, Most progressive Roaring Lion filly who readily completed a 4-timer when seeing off Sumo Sam by 4½ lengths in the 1¼m Pretty Polly at Newmarket last month. Up in trip. One of 2 strong contenders for a stable with a good record in this. Scooted clear in a Listed race on soft at Newmarket, showing she stays 1m2f well. |
|||
1st (11)  (2.75/1 +17%)Soul Sister |
2.75/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Soul Sister 2.75/1, Got stuck in the mud in the Fred Darling on her reappearance but a totally different proposition back on a sounder surface when quickening 4 lengths clear in the Musidora at York (1¼m). Should stay 1½m and there's almost certainly more to come from this scopey filly. Smooth winner of Group 3 Musidora at York (10.2f; officially on good, probably firmer). |
|||
2nd (9)  (0.83/1 +9%)Savethelastdance |
0.83/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Savethelastdance 0.83/1, Rapid improver who won last month's Cheshire Oaks by a remarkable 22 lengths. The heavy ground no doubt played a part in the huge winning margin but it was still hard not to be very impressed and she's the one to beat. Stormed 22l clear from inferior rivals in the Cheshire Oaks (11.3f, soft) on latest outing. |
|||
3rd (3)  (40/1 +0%)Caernarfon |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Caernarfon 40/1, Big improver last autumn, bagging a 1m Newmarket listed race. Nearest at the finish when a respectable 10¼ lengths fourth of 20 to Mawj in 1000 Guineas back at Newmarket (1m, soft) on reappearance. Steps up markedly in trip now. Stuck on admirably from well off the pace when about 10l fourth of 20 in 1,000 Guineas. |
|||
4th (6)  (50/1 +24%)Maman Joon |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Maman Joon 50/1, 400,000 gns Sea The Stars filly who made a promising start to her career when second of 16 in a 1¼m Newbury maiden (heavy) 6 weeks ago. Definitely capable of better but she's very much pitched in at the deep end here. Promising 2nd in maiden at Newbury (1m2f, soft) six weeks ago when no match for the winner. |
|||
5th (2)  (50/1 +24%)Bright Diamond |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bright Diamond 50/1, Useful at 2 (third in Prestige at Goodwood and Fillies' Mile at Newmarket). Creditable 2¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Eternal Hope in Lingfield Oaks Trial on reappearance but will need a big career best to play a significant role here. Never threatened Eternal Hope or Be Happy in steadily run Lingfield Trial but she ran on. |
|||
6th (5)  (28/1 +0%)Heartache Tonight |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Heartache Tonight 28/1, All 3 starts in France, winning a 9f Longchamp maiden last autumn. Placed in Saint-Cloud Group 3 on return and took another step forward when 1½ lengths fourth of 10 to Jannah Rose in Group 1 Prix Saint-Alary back at Longchamp (1¼m) last month. Could be more to come now stepping up to 1½m Three runs in the mud in France; close in a Group 1 and will relish 1m4f if ground is okay. |
|||
7th (4)  (12/1 +25%)Eternal Hope |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Eternal Hope 12/1, Promising individual who built on her 1¼m Chelmsford maiden win in February when following up in the Lingfield Oaks Trial (1½m, AW) by 1¾ lengths from Be Happy. Tackles turf for the first time here. Capable of better again. Three runs on AW, outpointing Be Happy in the steadily run Lingfield Oaks Trial (1m4f). |
|||
8th (10)  (100/1 -25%)Sea Of Roses |
100/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sea Of Roses 100/1, Useful filly. Second in a Saint-Cloud Group 3 on her reappearance but 7¾ lengths adrift of Soul Sister when fifth in the Musidora at York since. Hard to make a case for after that. May still have some potential given 1m4f but Soul Sister beat her by nearly 8l at York. |
|||
9th (7)  (40/1 +0%)Red Riding Hood |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Red Riding Hood 40/1, AW maiden winner. Posted a useful effort when third in Group 3 Blue Wind at Naas (1¼m) last month, doing quite well considering she was lit up in first-time blinkers (retained). Needs to make significant improvement for the step up to 1½m. Kept on when close third in 1m2f Group 3 at Naas but pulled hard early in the blinkers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Aidan O'Brien's recent record in the race is impressive and he looks to have another very smart filly on his hands in the shape of SAVETHELASTDANCE. A daughter of Galileo, like three of the last four winners of this Classic, she ticks all the right boxes after bolting up in the Cheshire Oaks last time out. A taking winner of the Musidora, Soul Sister looks to be her main danger and, being by Frankel, she should relish the step up in trip under Frankie Dettori. Stablemate Running Lion made a fine impression herself in the Pretty Polly and is another key player, along with Eternal Hope and 1000 Guineas fourth Caernarfon.
The Aidan O'Brien and Gosden stables have shared the last 9 runnings of this and may dominate again, with wide-margin Cheshire Oaks scorer SAVETHELASTDANCE taken to show she's as effective on a quicker surface and see off Soul Sister and Running Lion, who were also impressive winners of their trials last month.
Her finishing effort to win by 22l at Chester ensures that SAVETHELASTDANCE (nap) is top of the list, ahead of Soul Sister.

1st (9)  (3/1 +14%)Olivia Maralda |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Olivia Maralda 3/1, Useful at up to 7f last year for Michael O'Callaghan last year and shaped as if retaining ability after 8 months off when 11½ lengths seventh of 20 to Mawj in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket (8f, soft) 26 days ago. One to look out for back at 7f and with a run under her belt. Ran well for a long way in the 1,000 Guineas; one to consider now back down in trip. |
|||
2nd (2)  (1.75/1 +7%)Holguin |
1.75/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Holguin 1.75/1, Made a winning debut last April and ended campaign with smashing second in 2-y-o Trophy at Redcar. Confirmed he retains all his ability with a good second on return at Newmarket and took his form up a notch when runner-up in a listed event at Haydock (7f, good) last month. Major player. Went close in Listed race at Haydock latest; leading claims if this quicker going is okay. |
|||
3rd (3)  (3.5/1 +22%)Streets Of Gold |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Streets Of Gold 3.5/1, Won first 5 starts, again showing useful form when landing valuable event at York in October. Lost unbeaten record on reappearance when well beaten in Greenham Stakes at Newbury (7f, heavy) just under 6 weeks ago but fancied to get back on track (has had a breathing operation since). Well beaten in Greenham; wind op since; 5-5 in 2yo campaign and key player if back on song. |
|||
4th (5)  (18/1 -29%)Magical Sunset |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Magical Sunset 18/1, Likeable type who registered 3 wins as a juvenile, notably a 7f Newbury listed on heavy. Not reached that level on both outings at pattern level this year, but she could fare better back in listed company. Could prove well served by the step back up in trip & drop back down in grade; interesting. |
|||
5th (6)  (9/1 -20%)Secret Angel |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Secret Angel 9/1, Scored 3 times as a juvenile, most notably in listed event at Deauville. Has taken her form up a notch stepped up in grade this year, fourth to Sacred in Chartwell Stakes at Lingfield (7f, AW) just under 3 weeks ago, so holds solid each-way claims. Solid efforts in 7f Group 3 contests on both runs this spring and she could be thereabouts. |
|||
6th (1)  (11/1 +8%)He's A Monster |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) He's A Monster 11/1, Showed much improved form to make it 3 wins from 4 starts when landing 4-runner handicap (4/6) at Kempton (7f) a couple of months ago, scoring in the manner of one who should have more to come. Needs to prove he's just as effective on turf, however, and has been gelded since last seen. Unproven on turf and up in grade but he's impressed in AW handicaps the last twice. |
|||
7th (7)  (22/1 -57%)Dandy Alys |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dandy Alys 22/1, Off the mark at the third attempt at Nottingham last July and took her form up a level in 3 starts after, running as well as could've been expected when ninth in Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp (1m, soft) in October. More required on reappearance but that's possible. Close second in Group 3 Sweet Solera last August; lacks a recent run but could be involved. |
|||
8th (8)  (50/1 -25%)Elvenia |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Elvenia 50/1, Debut 5f Newcastle winner before excellent seventh of 16 to Meditate in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, 50/1). Shaped as if needing the run after 8 months off when fourth in Southwell novice (6.1f) in February and looks out of her depth in this. Very lightly raced; has bundles to find but no surprise to see a much improved performance. |
|||
9th (4)  (66/1 +18%)Tenjin |
66/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tenjin 66/1, Kempton nursery winner for Marco Botti in 2022 and fine third starting out for new yard in a Lingfield listed race in March. However, safely held since, so it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Close Listed 3rd at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March but unable to hit the same heights on turf. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Olivia Maralda emerged with credit following her run in the 1000 Guineas, when finishing seventh to Mawj, and Roger Varian's filly, who didn't appear to see out a mile on that occasion, is entitled to be very competitive back at 7f. Holguin's second at Haydock last time was a fine effort and another strong display is expected, but the vote goes to STREETS OF GOLD. Unbeaten in five starts as a juvenile, the ground was probably too testing in the Greenham at Newbury and subsequent wind surgery may also yield some improvement.
HOLGUIN took his form up a notch when going down by a neck in a similar event at Haydock just under 3 weeks ago and, with Oisin Murphy in the plate for the first time, Andrew Balding's charge gets the verdict to register a second career success. This return to 7f is sure to suit Olivia Maralda, so she may emerge as the main danger with a recent run under her belt, while Secret Angel and He's A Monster can fight out minor honours.
Having run well for a long way when a soundly beaten seventh in the 1,000 Guineas, OLIVIA MARALDA earns the vote now back down in trip.

1st (1)  (12/1 -9%)Spanish Star |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Spanish Star 12/1, Caught the eye on return at Newbury and confirmed promise of that run when adding to his tally at Goodwood (6f) 2 starts back. Confirmed himself better than ever at the age of 8 when second in 9-runner Windsor handicap (6f) 11 days ago and entitled to go well again in this groove. 8yo who has been better than ever the last twice and has to be respected. |
|||
2nd (4)  (20/1 +0%)Darkness |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Darkness 20/1, Remains winless for this yard but plenty of good efforts to his name, including when runner-up on return at Redcar (7f, heavy) in April. Mixed bag has followed, including in refitted visor last 3 starts and blinkers now the headgear of choice from career-low mark. Went close on reappearance at Redcar in April but has failed to go on from that. |
|||
3rd (7)  (8/1 -33%)Marlay Park |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Marlay Park 8/1, 3-time C&D winner, the latest from a 2 lb lower mark in September. Gradually regaining full fitness in trio of starts this time around, late headway from off the pace when fifth at Goodwood (7f) last week. No surprise to see a better showing returned to this venue. This C&D brought out the best in him last season and he's on the shortlist. |
|||
4th (13)  (33/1 -32%)Secret Strength |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Secret Strength 33/1, Ended losing run in refitted cheekpieces at Lingfield (7f) in February and largely remained in form since, not disgraced when fourth in 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (7f) 9 days ago. Yard enjoy plenty of success here but this looks a tough enough ask up in grade. Back on track at Yarmouth recently but has to build on it now back up in grade. |
|||
5th (9)  (14/1 -17%)Riot |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Riot 14/1, Snapped a long losing run in 4-runner Chelmsford handicap (7f) on reappearance in May and backed that up when fifth in 20-runner York handicap (7f) since, held when wandering entering final 1f. Handy draw to work from but this rates tougher. Won at Chelmsford before solid fifth of 20 at York; might not be far away. |
|||
6th (11)  (33/1 +0%)Bluelight Bay |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Bluelight Bay 33/1, Highly tried on back of 6f novice success as a 2-y-o and having been easy to back, she offered little back from 8 months off at Newmarket (6f) six weeks ago. Has been gelded since but he needs to leave that well behind to figure here. Showed early promise but well beaten on reappearance; hopes pinned on gelding operation. |
|||
7th (3)  (14/1 -27%)Pocket The Profit |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pocket The Profit 14/1, Came in for a well-judged ride when adding to his tally at Wolverhampton (6f) in December. Shaped as if better for the run on the back of 4 months off when sixth in 8-runner Doncaster handicap (6f, heavy) 4 weeks ago but he will need things to drop just right for him here. Fair sixth of 15 in this last year and may have needed reappearance run; each-way claims. |
|||
8th (2)  (5/1 +33%)On A Session |
5/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) On A Session 5/1, Useful sort who capitalised on drop in grade to score at Musselburgh (7f, soft) in April. Similar form in defeat both starts since, good second behind Boardman at Chester on Saturday. Good fourth in this race 12 months ago and he's a live each-way player once more. Fourth of 15 in this 12 months ago and arrives in good form; could be thereabouts. |
|||
9th (10)  (1.25/1 +62%)Urban Sprawl |
1.25/1(+62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Urban Sprawl 1.25/1, Likeable type who signed off for 2022 with back-to-back 7f nursery wins and progressed again this term, making all returned to firmer ground at Goodwood (7f) last week. Has to be of interest under a penalty with yard going along nicely. 3yo who made all at Goodwood last Saturday and could again enjoy the run of the race today. |
|||
10th (12)  (9/1 -20%)Signcastle City |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Signcastle City 9/1, Salisbury maiden winner (at 6f) last summer prior to good third at listed level at that venue a month later. Done little wrong in defeat both starts this term, well served by well-run race when third at Newmarket (7f) 13 days ago, running on. May do better still. Good third at Newmarket a fortnight ago and this 3yo is open to further improvement. |
|||
11th (8)  (18/1 -80%)Lord Rapscallion |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lord Rapscallion 18/1, Bagged pair of 7f Chelmsford handicaps in December and having remained in form since on AW, he was possibly a shade fortunate to resume winning ways on turf at Newmarket (7f) 15 days ago. Doesn't appeal as an obvious follow-up candidate, though. Second of 15 in this last year and won at Newmarket a fortnight ago; could be bang there. |
|||
12th (5)  (40/1 -60%)Wyvern |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Wyvern 40/1, Improved again campaigned on AW earlier this year, confirming promise of previous run when scoring at Lingfield (7f) in February. Good efforts on 2 of his 3 starts since but task now is to prove himself as effective back on turf. Cheekpieces on 1st time. On a competitive mark on AW form; lightly raced on turf but form has been inferior. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
This is a very open contest on paper with the nod going to SPANISH STAR. Patrick Chamings' runner was a very good second on his previous outing over 6f at Windsor, where he was beaten just three quarters of a length, and this extra yardage could be the perfect tonic. Urban Sprawl is feared most after his front running success over 7f at Goodwood last week, while Lord Rapscallion, a winner at Newmarket last time, and handicap debutant Clochette head the remainder.
URBAN SPRAWL resumed progress back on a firmer surface when making all at Goodwood last weekend and, turned out under a penalty, it would come as no surprise to see him make another bold bid from the front here. Fellow 3-y-o Signcastle City is also going the right way and feared, along with 3-time C&D winner Marlay Park and unexposed handicap debutante Clochette.
There may not be much competition for the lead and there could be another front-running masterclass from Joe Fanning on URBAN SPRAWL.

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.
