(5)  (16/1 -78%)Regally Blonde |
16/1(-78%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Regally Blonde 16/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat in Ireland but just modest form over hurdles for this yard. 1m5f win in Ireland 2022; modest hurdler for new yard this January-April, mostly on soft. |
|||
1st (8)  (28/1 -75%)Baileys Derbyday |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Baileys Derbyday 28/1, Fair on the Flat for Charlie Johnston and similar form over hurdles for this yard. Potentially on a nice mark on best form. Last ran on soft in 2021, ran well; recent hurdles run under his belt; case can be made. |
|||
2nd (7)  (7/4 +22%)Yorksea |
7/4(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Yorksea 7/4, Fair performer on Flat in France in 2021, winning handicap at Angers (10.4f). Won twice over hurdles for Gary Moore since and respectable fifth over C&D on Flat return in May. Easier ground will suit and considered. Pretty useful hurdler; ran in snatches over C&D (good) in May but stayed on into 5th of 11. |
|||
3rd (12)  (5/1 +50%)Beggarman |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Beggarman 5/1, Wasted no time getting back on track when second of 13 in handicap at Bath (13f, soft) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give another good account. Five 2nds from 12 starts on turf, including on soft at Bath (1m5f) 13 days ago; stays 2m. |
|||
4th (2)  (13/8 +60%)Havaila |
13/8(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Havaila 13/8, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 4/1, very good second of 11 in handicap here (14f, good to soft) on Flat return in May. Unsuited by emphasis on speed at Kempton following month and this more suitable back from a break. Acts on heavy; close second over 1m6f here in May; off since June; player if on song. |
|||
5th (10)  (33/1 +0%)Loudspeaker |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Loudspeaker 33/1, Fair maiden for Michael Bell. Down the field completed starts over hurdles for this yard so arrives with something to prove. 11-race maiden, closest when second over 1m4f (good) in May 2022. |
|||
6th (3)  (7/1 +56%)Ace Rothstein |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ace Rothstein 7/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022 and doesn't look that enthusiastic under pressure these days, as shown when 3½ lengths fourth of 14 to Motazzen in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy) 19 days ago. Ran respectably when fourth to Motazzen at Nottingham (1m6f, soft); not proven over 2m. |
|||
7th (6)  (18/1 -29%)Cochise |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cochise 18/1, Dual winner for Roger Charlton. Struggled over hurdles for Sheena West but made a winning debut for this yard on Flat return at Southwell in February 2022. Off since, however. Absent since AW win in February 2022; has a very good record on soft ground on the Flat. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HAVAILA failed to justify favouritism at Kempton in June, but the son of Le Havre had finished a good second over 1m 6f here the start prior. He is only 1lb above that mark and a return to the Sussex venue could prove crucial to his chance. Motazzen relished the soft ground when scoring off 3lb lower over 1m6f at Nottingham last month and he's expected make his presence felt once again, along with Yorksea, who might improve on May's C&D fifth.
HAVAILA had excuses at Kempton last time and is worth another chance under suitable conditions. Yorksea remains potentially well treated on the Flat and is the obvious threat, with Cherry Cola best of the others.
Preference is for HAVAILA who ran well over 1m6f here in May and is likely to be seen to even better effect with today's slog.

1st (2)  (1/2 +45%)Al Shabab Storm |
1/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Al Shabab Storm 1/2, Advertise colt. Plenty of promise to glean from first 2 starts, good second of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f) 16 days ago. Has proven his effectiveness with give underfoot previously and he rates the one to beat. Has shown clear promise over 7f; gives the impression he'll cope with this drop in trip. |
|||
2nd (4)  (5/2 +17%)Jungle Mac |
5/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jungle Mac 5/2, Bungle Inthejungle colt who ran just about his best race yet (following 3 months off) when second of 11 in Kempton novice (6f) 23 days ago, every chance 1f out and keeping on. Claims if handling this softer surface. Form figures of 632 reflect his steady improvement, close second on AW most recently. |
|||
3rd (5)  (16/1 -14%)Kiss And Run |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kiss And Run 16/1, Fair filly. Career best when winning 8-runner nursery (20/1) at Bath (5.7f, soft) 13 days ago, asserting from 2f out and responding well. Underfoot conditions will hold no fears but good deal more on her plate returned to novice company on these terms. Proved suited by the switch to soft ground at Bath two weeks ago, winning a nursery. |
|||
4th (1)  (10/1 -82%)Billy Webster |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Billy Webster 10/1, Profitable gelding. 11/2, won 7-runner novice event at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) on debut in April, leading near line having been carried right from 2f out. Absent since but he's open to improvement on the back of that. Absent since his debut win at Pontefract in April; faces tougher task under a penalty. |
|||
5th (7)  (25/1 +11%)Lady In Havana |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lady In Havana 25/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, eighth of 14 in minor event at Redcar (5f, good) on debut in May, racing off the pace and never a threat. Passed over back from 139 days off. Not far behind Jungle Mac in above-average race at Redcar in May; heed market signals. |
|||
6th (3)  (40/1 -300%)Quantum Force |
40/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Quantum Force 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. 7/2, ninth of 13 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago, outpaced entering straight and not unduly punished. Remains a work-in-progress and potential for better still moving forward, particularly in handicaps. Judged on bare form, he'll find better opportunities in handicaps shortly. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
AL SHABAB STORM found only the progressive Accumulate too strong at Newmarket last time out and Andrew Balding's keen-natured colt is fancied to regain the winning thread on the drop to 6f. Testing conditions hold no fear for the selection, which may also suit chief rival Billy Webster. The son of Profitable was a debut winner at Pontefract in April and likely has more to offer. Jungle Mac could also have a say now reverting to turf.
AL SHABAB STORM again showed promise when finding only one too good at Newmarket (7f) 16 days ago and, with further progress in the offing, he can make it third time lucky. Jungle Mac can give Andrew Balding's charge most to think about.
The vote goes to JUNGLE MAC, who looks ready to strike. Al Shabab Storm is feared most on form.

1st (4)  (9/1 +25%)Gisburn |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gisburn 9/1, Absent since the spring but capable fresh and he's potentially well handicapped. Interesting with ground conditions in his favour. On losing run but down in weights and conditions no problem; gelded since last seen. |
|||
2nd (6)  (10/3 -11%)Monsieur Kodi |
10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Monsieur Kodi 10/3, Three wins on soft/heavy this year, including over C&D at the Glorious meeting in August. Not disgraced in his 3 outings since then and big player with ground conditions in his favour. C&D win in August was emphatic; held his form since and the return to deep ground a plus. |
|||
3rd (9)  (6/1 +0%)Hierarchy |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hierarchy 6/1, Snapped a losing run in C&D handicap (good to soft) 18 days ago, one of his regular slow starts not proving costly in a race where the leaders went too hard. Whether things drop so well for him this time remains to be seen. Produced strong second-half effort to win over C&D last month; 4lb rise fair; chance. |
|||
4th (13)  (12/1 -33%)Treacherous |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Treacherous 12/1, C&D winner who arrives on the back of a near miss at Kempton on Wednesday. Merits respect off 1 lb lower. Dual C&D winner and ran well off this mark on AW on Wednesday; ground the big concern. |
|||
5th (12)  (14/1 -56%)Punchbowl Flyer |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Punchbowl Flyer 14/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021 but well handicapped as a result and he was better than the result when 4¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Hierarchy over C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago, faring best of those who raced up with the strong pace. Could go well. More promising signs when 4th over C&D last month; type to pop up soon. |
|||
6th (2)  (9/2 +36%)Spanish Star |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Spanish Star 9/2, Seeking a hat-trick of wins in this race. Better than ever when scoring over C&D and at Epsom at the start of the summer. Not at best last time but no surprise were he to bounce back with a bang here. Chasing a hat-trick in this race & he's better than ever this year; leading contender. |
|||
7th (10)  (14/1 -17%)Mister Bluebird |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mister Bluebird 14/1, Won over 7f here in June but just as effective over 6f, finishing a good third of 15 at Newmarket in August. Does need to bounce back from a poor run over C&D last month, though. Course winner in June; in and out since and has other pace influences to contend with. |
|||
8th (11)  (10/1 +0%)Crazy Luck |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Crazy Luck 10/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (9/2) at Bath (5.7f, soft) 13 days ago, nearest finish. May find the odd one too strong again. Yet to win this year but conditions won't faze her & she's down in the weights; e-w chance. |
|||
9th (1)  (7/1 +22%)Probe |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Probe 7/1, Won twice over 6f on joining this yard in the spring. Has found life tougher since but mainly in top handicaps and this represents a drop in class. Flying start for new yard in the spring; stiff tasks since & this is easier. |
|||
10th (3)  (12/1 +33%)Indian Creak |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Indian Creak 12/1, Has taken his form to a new level this summer, landing back-to-back events over 6f at Epsom in July and Windsor in August. Below par at Ripon 15 days ago but he's not the type to stay down for long. Three 6f wins this year; conditions fine but he looks high in the weights for now. |
|||
11th (5)  (14/1 +0%)Love De Vega |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Love De Vega 14/1, Bagged another couple of small field contests in August but found out off higher marks in deeper races since. Two wins in August and conditions won't faze him; last two runs need bettering though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MONSIEUR KODI struck over course and distance in August off a 2lb lower mark and he was not disgraced when eighth in the Silver Cup at Ayr last time. Therefore, he remains in solid enough form to suggest that he could go well in this contest. The main threat is Hierarchy, who scored over this track and trip last month and should go well once again off 4lb higher, while Gisburn could also have a say if bouncing back to form.
MONSIUER KODI should get his ground this afternoon and is taken to deny Spanish Star a third successive win in this contest. Treacherous went close at Kempton in midweek and ought to play a prominent role if in similar form. Punchbowl Flyer and Gisburn are potentially well-handicapped runners who are very much at home on a soft surface.

1st (8)  (10/1 +38%)Mad Punter |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mad Punter 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, sixth of 7 in nursery at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. Chance partly depends on whether he responds well to headgear. |
|||
2nd (9)  (5/1 +85%)Land Of Magic |
5/1(+85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Land Of Magic 5/1, Modest form on balance and easy enough to oppose here. Seemed a non-stayer over 7f the last twice; opposed. |
|||
3rd (7)  (11/1 +31%)Queues Likely |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Queues Likely 11/1, Opened account at the third attempt at Windsor in June. Below form since, though, and others are more appealing. 5f winner who has something to prove over this new trip. |
|||
4th (2)  (11/1 -57%)Deep Blue |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Deep Blue 11/1, Signs of encouragement in three runs to date and promises to be suited by the return to this trip, so he's an interesting nursery debutant. Open to improvement now handicapping and returned to turf. |
|||
5th (6)  (9/4 -29%)Amancio |
9/4(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Amancio 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to soft, 2/1) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Looks to have been let in lightly for nursery debut and boasts leading claims. Heading in the right direction, second to promising newcomer most recently. |
|||
6th (3)  (13/2 -8%)Hug A Tree |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hug A Tree 13/2, Just modest form to date but she's bred to do better, so no surprise if she ups her game now trying nurseries. Placed in all three runs; another creditable effort is on the cards. |
|||
7th (4)  (11/4 +66%)Sleven |
11/4(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sleven 11/4, Made a solid start but hasn't really built on that since switched to nurseries. Tried in a tongue tie, now. May improve for this drop back to 7f with tongue-tie applied. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FIRST ENCORE was not at his very best at Haydock last time but the form of his third at Salisbury the time before suggests that a mark of 78 may underestimate him, especially as he may improve for a recent gelding operation. The progressive Amancio may prove to be the main threat on his nursery debut, although Hug A Tree and Queues Likely are others who could go well.
AMANCIO upped his game when second in a Hamilton maiden last time and a mark of 67 probably underestimates him, so he takes preference over Deep Blue, who also has her first go in nurseries. Hug A Tree is another one to consider.

1st (2)  (7/4 -17%)Black Run |
7/4(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Black Run 7/4, Promising type. Third of 10 in maiden (9/1) at Deauville (7f, good) 59 days ago, no extra late on. Has the benefit of experience on his main rivals and looks capable of opening his account at the second attempt. 9-1, third in newcomers race at Deauville (7f, good to soft) in August; plenty of ability. |
|||
2nd (6)  (17/2 +6%)Sam Hawkens |
17/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sam Hawkens 17/2, Foaled March 31. Galileo colt. Half-brother to useful 6f winner Minnetonka. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 1m) Angel's Hideaway. Makes plenty of appealin pedigree. Galileo half-brother to 6f 2yo winner Minnetonka (RPR 95); dam Group-placed 6f 2yo winner. |
|||
3rd (7)  (5/1 +0%)Games People Play |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Games People Play 5/1, Foaled May 11. €140,000 foal, 170,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Closely related to useful winner up to 14.4f Vivid Diamond. Dam, 11f-13f winner. Notable debutant. 170,000gns Sea The Stars yearling; late foal; yard's 2yo strength has been clear this week. |
|||
4th (1)  (6/1 -50%)Anzac Day |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Anzac Day 6/1, Foaled March 14. 200,000 gns yearling, Australia colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 10.5f-1½m winner Merveillo and 11f winner Ouezy, both useful. Interesting newcomer. 200,000gns yearling; 7th foal; Australia half-brother to four winners; one to note. |
|||
5th (5)  (9/4 +68%)Hampden |
9/4(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hampden 9/4, Night of Thunder gelding who offered signs of encouragement when third in a course maiden 49 days ago. More to come, so not completely dismissed. 14-1, fair form when third of eight in maiden here (1m, soft) seven weeks ago; considered. |
|||
6th (3)  (20/1 -67%)Caprelo |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Caprelo 20/1, Foaled March 24. 67,000 gns foal, 60,000 gns yearling, Ulysses colt. Half-brother to numerous winners, including very smart 1½m-15f winner Marmelo and smart 1¾m-16.4f winner Vent de Force. Dam maiden. Talented siblings, most with same yard but they suggest that he is best watched on debut. |
|||
7th (4)  (150/1 -50%)First Encounter |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) First Encounter 150/1, Yet to beat a rival in two outings, so hard to make any sort of case for. Big odds, remote last at Newbury (6.5f) in June and Haydock (7f, soft) in July; gelded. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Hampden and Black Run both showed promise on their respective debut runs and have to enter calculations now they are set to gain more experience. However, GAMES PEOPLE PLAY has a highly appealing pedigree for a race of this nature and Ralph Beckett's daughter of Sea The Stars offers the most intrigue as she bids to make an immediate impact. Caprelo and Anzac Day are other newcomers to monitor in the betting.
BLACK RUN shaped well when third in a newcomers event at Deauville and, with improvement expected, he's likely to have enough to open his account despite the presence of a trio of interesting newcomers in Anzac Day, Games People Play and Sam Hawkens.

1st (3)  (3/1 +25%)Thunder Ball |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Thunder Ball 3/1, Off the mark in 7f Newbury novice in May and has stepped up on that in defeat subsequently, first past post (later demoted) over C&D in August and he again ran well when seventh in last month's Cambridgeshire. Can give another good account. First past the post in C&D race in August; creditable seventh in the Cambridgeshire since. |
|||
2nd (7)  (15/2 +46%)Mostawaa |
15/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mostawaa 15/2, Racked up a hat-trick at the start of the summer, culminating in success in Carlisle Bell (7.8f) in June. Not discredited from revised mark on turf/AW in 3 starts since but likely he'll face competition on the front end here. Doesn't look the percentage call at this level; yet to win above Class 4. |
|||
3rd (1)  (9/2 -13%)Grey's Monument |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Grey's Monument 9/2, Much improved equipped with blinkers/faced with softer ground, winning twice as a juvenile. Showed benefit of reappearance run when second of 4 in Sandown listed event (1m) back in May and not discounted back from a break/returned to handicaps. Off since May; on a difficult mark but he's 2-2 in handicaps when wearing blinkers. |
|||
4th (6)  (15/8 +6%)Kathab |
15/8(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kathab 15/8, Progressive sort who registered back-to-back 1m victories on turf this summer and career-best effort when runner-up in London Mile at Kempton, staying on strongly to take that place on the post. Remains the type to do better still for leading yard and claims back on turf. Solid record since handicapping, second in major AW contest most recently; respected. |
|||
5th (4)  (4/1 +11%)Darkness |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Darkness 4/1, Ran up to best in change of headgear when opening account for this yard at Newmarket (1m) in July. Good effort from front when fourth in C&D Golden Mile and dispelled couple of lesser efforts when third at first-named venue 15 days ago. Won off this mark in July; creditable fourth in major 1m handicap here next time. |
|||
6th (5)  (50/1 -127%)Sanitiser |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sanitiser 50/1, 4-time winner on the Flat for Paul & Oliver Cole (at up to 10f). Some promise in handful of hurdle outings for Archie Watson since the turn of the year and returns from a break having changed hands for 30,000 gns in May. Market likely best guide. 0-4 over hurdles this year for Archie Watson; on a demanding mark back on Flat. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
THUNDER BALL finished a respectable seventh in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket a fortnight ago and the return to this course and distance could see the three-year-old get back on the scoresheet. Kathab is unproven on the soft ground that he is likely to encounter here but William Haggas' inmate is likely to be involved if running to form. The son of Kingman may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Grey's Monument and Darkness.
A dual winner on turf this term, KATHAB posted his best effort yet when runner-up in the London Mile at Kempton 5 weeks ago, taking a while to hit full stride but finishing off strongly. Open to further improvement, he can resume winning ways back on turf. Fellow 3-y-o Grey's Monument and Thunder Ball head up the dangers.
Preference is for KATHAB, who has a solid record since handicapping and may well improve further. Thunder Ball is second choice.

(5)  (4/1 +27%)King's Code |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) King's Code 4/1, Enjoyed a productive season, taking his tally for the year to 3 when winning 10-runner handicap at Chester (7.6f, heavy) 15 days ago. Relished the emphasis on stamina there and enters calculations despite high draw. Generally progressive this term; has form figures of 131 for new stable; has to be feared. |
|||
1st (4)  (7/1 +42%)Alpha Crucis |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Alpha Crucis 7/1, Made successful return at Windsor in April before chasing Expressionless home at Epsom on his next outing, perhaps sent for home too soon in testing conditions. Unsuited by drop to 7f at Kempton last time and he should remain of interest if fully tuned up from 130-day break. Ties in with Expressionless on Epsom spring form; may have more to offer back on turf. |
|||
2nd (6)  (10/3 +58%)Lunatick |
10/3(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lunatick 10/3, Fairly useful colt who made the most of a good opportunity to finally open his account in a match at Brighton (8f, good) last month. Not disgraced in disadvantageous circumstances when third of 7 in handicap at Newbury (8f, heavy) 22 days ago but could do with learning to settle better. Brighton win came in two-runner maiden; not disgraced in Newbury handicap since. |
|||
3rd (3)  (11/1 -120%)Double Time |
11/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Double Time 11/1, Quirky type shaped best when runner-up in an Ascot amateurs event last month, his effort made earlier than ideal, and ran at least as well when third of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 4/1) 17 days ago. High draw and lack of obvious pace here are slight concerns, though. Has posted two encouraging efforts since wearing a hood, unlucky third latest; respected. |
|||
4th (8)  (11/1 +45%)Celtic Empress |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Celtic Empress 11/1, Won over C&D last summer but failed to build on a more promising effort when last of 12 (11/1) at Chepstow (8.1f, good) 66 days ago. Has dropped below last winning mark but yet to fully fire this year. Exposed mare but is handicapped to go well; creditable fourth in this race last year. |
|||
5th (10)  (25/1 +24%)Platinum Prince |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Platinum Prince 25/1, Ran respectably in form terms when fourth of 11 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, heavy) 27 days ago but again looked awkward from an early stage and he's essentially not one to have much one faith under regular claimer. Has done his winning in Class 6; opposed back up two grades. |
|||
6th (7)  (16/1 -14%)Intercessor |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Intercessor 16/1, Confirmed his return to form when getting back on scoreboard in 5-runner handicap at Brighton (7f, good) last month. 5 lb rise looks manageable and he's a player again. Scored at Brighton six weeks ago; faces a tougher task back up 5lb. |
|||
7th (2)  (6/1 +50%)Sly Madam |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sly Madam 6/1, Winless since scoring on heavy ground at Windsor (1m) in April but has generally held her form well this term, again running respectably when third of 12 in handicap at this course (9f, soft, 6/1) 18 days ago. Can give another good account, though others perhaps for appealing for win purposes. Clearcut success on soft ground in the spring; respectable third here most recently. |
|||
8th (11)  (12/1 +40%)Racing Demon |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Racing Demon 12/1, Won at Chepstow in June before doubling up at Salisbury later in the month. Made late inroads when third of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 15/2) 13 days ago and probably needs bit here, suspicions about his attitude still somewhat lingering. Consistent sort; bit to prove in this grade but is compensated by low weight. |
|||
9th (1)  (3/1 +14%)Expressionless |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Expressionless 3/1, Made winning return in 5-runner minor event at Nottingham in April before following up in similarly testing conditions in an 8-runner Epsom handicap (8.5f) by 1¾ lengths from Alpha Crucis. Suited by way race panned out there and is up 8 lb in weights but can't be ruled out after summer break. Couple of soft-ground wins in April; absent since but looked open to further progress. |
|||
10th (9)  (10/1 -100%)Dream Of Mischief |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dream Of Mischief 10/1, Quick ground winner at Windsor in the summer and seemed unlucky not to collect again when third of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 19 days ago, nearest at the finish having had to delay his challenge. Slow ground is an unknown but he looks worth chancing. Not guaranteed to back up latest effort, as he lacks consistency. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
King's Code appeals as a leading candidate having won off 2lb lower at Chester last month, as does Expressionless, who recorded back-to-back successes when last seen and might have more to offer despite an 8lb rise. A chance, however, can be taken on CELTIC EMPRESS. Heather Main's mare, a former C&D winner, finished a fair fourth in the corresponding event off a 5lb higher mark last year and might appreciate the return to this track.
DREAM OF MISCHIEF is yet to meet conditions as testing as anticipated here but so eye-catching was he at Lingfield last month that he'll likely take the beating if coping well with the softer ground. King's Code proved well suited by the test of stamina when scoring at Chester last time and is highly respected, with Intercessor the pick to complete the frame.
In-form 5yo DOUBLE TIME could well record a first turf success, granted better luck than last time. Sly Madam is second choice.

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.
