Races & Results Wednesday 13th November 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Obsidian Knight 6/4, C&D winner. 11/4, fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 11 days ago, never nearer. Mark has eased a little more ahead of this and he's one to consider. Won't mind the drop in trip into a bigger field off a career-low mark; on the shortlist.

8
2nd (8) (66/1 -500%) Crafter
66
66/1(-500%)
(8) Crafter 66/1, 28/1, shaped better than the bare result on the back of 7 months off when fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago, not knocked about. Entitled to be sharper now. Little room for manoeuvre off this mark under an inexperienced partner; each-way shout.

3rd (4) (7/1 +30%) Francesi
7
7/1(+30%)
(4) Francesi 7/1, Course winner. One win from 31 Flat runs. Twenty-seven runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Better showing anticipated returned to this venue for all his strike rate tempers enthusiasm. Goes well here; will need some luck if dropped in as usual under an inexperienced partner.

4th (3) (7/1 -56%) Achillea
7
7/1(-56%)
(3) Achillea 7/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chelmsford in October. 11/4, sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 13 days ago, no extra last ½f. Return to this shorter trip rates a likely plus on that evidence. Didn't see out 1m3f last time but previously fine with this trip at Chelmsford; player.
5th
11
5th (11) (50/1 -400%) Moon Over The Sea
50
50/1(-400%)
(11) Moon Over The Sea 50/1, Proved consistent earlier this year, adding to his tally at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f) when last seen in June and no surprise to see a good showing. Fine on Polytrack but might just need this back from five months out.
6th
5
6th (5) (8/1 +27%) Star Pupil
8
8/1(+27%)
(5) Star Pupil 8/1, Showed improved form when opening his account on qualifying run at Wolverhampton (6f) in April. Seen only twice since, possibly in need of the run after 5 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. New trip is a possibility on pedigree but it's a step into the unknown; market useful.
7th
6
7th (6) (6/1 +40%) Masqool
6
6/1(+40%)
(6) Masqool 6/1, 3-time C&D winner. 14/1, seventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 21 days ago, keeping on when forced to switch 2f out. Back up in trip now and cheekpieces worn for each of his last 2 victories return now. Better last time; the cheekpieces return and a step back up from 1m looks in his favour.
8th
9
8th (9) (16/1 -100%) Forge Valley Lad
16
16/1(-100%)
(9) Forge Valley Lad 16/1, 4-time course winner. 13/2, not disgraced when fourth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 46 days ago, left with lot to do. Assessor has relinquished his grip a little more and he's not dismissed out of hand. Last four wins have come here, three of them over 1m4f, but he has regressed this year.
9th
7
9th (7) (28/1 +15%) Yamamah
28
28/1(+15%)
(7) Yamamah 28/1, Visored for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (40/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft) 22 days ago, dropping away having set a strong gallop Cheekpieces on 1st time and she needs to get back on track. Struggled badly since returning from the UAE; would want to see good support.
10th
2
10th (2) (11/2 +0%) Finn Russell
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(2) Finn Russell 11/2, Back on the scoresheet at Carlisle (9f) in August and made the frame next 2 starts in handicaps on turf. Proved too free when below form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 54 days ago but no forlorn hope back on the level. Returns from a short break; has never won off a mark quite this high but hard to discount.
11th
10
11th (10) (66/1 -100%) Sun Festival
66
66/1(-100%)
(10) Sun Festival 66/1, Successful 3 times on turf/AW last year but struggled to get competitive since returning to action, twelfth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford (10f) 27 days ago. Others rate stronger. Ran poorly three times since returning from an absence; some way down the pecking order.
11:35 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It might pay to take a chance on the James Evans-trained MASQOOL. The gelded son of Invincible Spirit hasn't been at his best recently, but a return to this course and distance, which has yielded three victories, may well spark a revival. Obsidian Knight didn't quite see out 1m4f at Southwell last time and the drop in trip looks to be a positive move, while others to note include Finn Russell and Forge Valley Lad.
A number arrive with chances including dual C&D winner OBSIDIAN KNIGHT. Far from disgraced when fourth on his latest start at Southwell 11 days ago, he's fallen to a handy mark and could be ready to strike back down in trip. Achillea and Francesi are others to consider, whilst Masqool is another to keep an eye on from a further reduced mark, with the cheekpieces refitted.
Obsidian Knight is second choice behind MASQOOL, who ticks plenty of boxes going back up in trip and back in cheekpieces.
(2) Sun Dancer Girl 11/2, Progressed from a low base earlier this term, winnings 3 times at up to 14.1f. May have needed outing, back from 3 months off, when last of 7 at Southwell (12.1f) 11 days ago and can't be discounted. Held last time but is difficult to dismiss, being 2-2 at Lingfield (AW/turf).
2
3
2nd (3) (1/1 +60%) Glimmer Of Light
1
1/1(+60%)
(3) Glimmer Of Light 1/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was returning from 4 months off when creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 12/1) 32 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and holds solid claims. Has some encouraging AW form; this new trip is worth exploring; respected.
3
1
3rd (1) (7/2 -56%) Turner Girl
3.5
7/2(-56%)
(1) Turner Girl 7/2, 16/1, creditable third of 16 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Visor back on. Figures off a handy mark and must enter calculations. Largely consistent and 1lb below last winning mark; exposed but looks solid.
4
5
4th (5) (28/1 -100%) Equuleus Star
28
28/1(-100%)
(5) Equuleus Star 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, tenth of 14 in maiden at Kempton (11f) 42 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping but others are more appealing. May fare better now handicapping but doesn't look totally solid off this mark.
5th
4
5th (4) (8/1 -23%) Ghost Story
8
8/1(-23%)
(4) Ghost Story 8/1, Winner at Nottingham (10.2f) on second start in July but no further improvement on handicaps since, latest when fifth of 7 at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) 29 days ago. Work to do. Not disgraced in her two handicap runs, albeit without showing further progress.
6th
6
6th (6) (9/1 +36%) Tianita
9
9/1(+36%)
(6) Tianita 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 33/1) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Must improve. Out of a Lancashire Oaks winner for her connections; interesting upped to 1m4f.
12:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Turner Girl and Sun Dancer Girl are arguably the two leading contenders on current form and both merit respect, as does the unexposed Glimmer Of Light, who was far from disgraced at Chelmsford last month. That said, although TIANITA has made little impact on both of her runs since sent handicapping, she could offer some value. Plenty of stamina on the dam's side would suggest she can improve for this step up in trip and the booking of David Probert catches the eye.
Preference is for TURNER GIRL, who arrives in good form and is 1 lb below her last winning mark. Glimmer of LIght may provide the chief threat.
The most interesting contenders are the five-race maidens TIANITA and Glimmer Of Light, who look open to improvement.
(7) Present Times 5/6, Offered plenty to work on when runner-up on debut at Newmarket (8f) in September. Proved disappointing over same C&D last time but remains with potential. Short-priced failure on soft ground last time; has potential but needs to settle better.
2
9
2nd (9) (14/1 -40%) Venezuelan
14
14/1(-40%)
(9) Venezuelan 14/1, Once-raced maiden. 5/1, eighth of 12 in novice at Kempton (8f) on debut 33 days ago. Should have more to offer. Better was expected on his Kempton debut a month ago; will need a good step forward.
3
8
3rd (8) (14/1 +44%) Sourdough
14
14/1(+44%)
(8) Sourdough 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in novice (66/1) at Newmarket (8f, soft) 21 days ago. May well do better. Again well held last time and this easier 1m on a faster surface may not be ideal.
4
5
4th (5) (7/1 -27%) Due West
7
7/1(-27%)
(5) Due West 7/1, Once-raced maiden. 15/2, sixth of 9 in novice at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut 21 days ago. Likely to improve. 150,000euros yearling who should improve now he's had a run and goes up in trip.
5th
2
5th (2) (16/1 -191%) Best Rate
16
16/1(-191%)
(2) Best Rate 16/1, Promising type who was doing all his best work at the finish when third of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f, 22/1) on debut 35 days ago. Should progress and merits consideration. Easy to back ahead of his 7f Kempton debut five weeks ago when coming home nicely.
6th
4
6th (4) (33/1 -65%) Circus Of Rome
33
33/1(-65%)
(4) Circus Of Rome 33/1, Foaled February 26. €15,000 yearling, Circus Maximus gelding. Half-brother to useful 10.5f winner Calculating and 1¼m-1½m winner Sea of Charm. Went for 15,000euros as a yearling; may be one for handicaps over further next year.
7th
1
7th (1) (11/4 +21%) Al Shababi
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(1) Al Shababi 11/4, Posted promising second of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 28 days ago and likely has more to give yet. Shortlisted. Pleasing debut for a yard that's 5-17 with 2yos this season; high on the shortlist.
8th
11
8th (11) (150/1 -355%) Justenzia
150
150/1(-355%)
(11) Justenzia 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 10/1, seventh of 14 in novice at Kempton (8f) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Others preferred. One to keep an eye on but maybe in handicaps, with Best Rate arguably her yard's best shot.
9th
6
9th (6) (150/1 -127%) Harryella
150
150/1(-127%)
(6) Harryella 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (25/1) at Haydock (7f, good) 69 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Gelded since last run. Likely to need more time. Goes in a first-time hood having been gelded and may find life easier once handicapping.
10th
12
10th (12) (40/1 -100%) Soul Dance
40
40/1(-100%)
(12) Soul Dance 40/1, Foaled February 23. Camelot filly. Dam, 7.6f-1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Sparkling Beam. Market check advised on debut. Trainer shows a profit with 2yos here down the years; market will guide.
11th
3
11th (3) (300/1 -100%) Blackbrook
300
300/1(-100%)
(3) Blackbrook 300/1, Once-raced maiden. Hooded, last of 13 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, heavy, 200/1) on debut 19 days ago. Up in trip. Hard to fancy. 200-1, ran as the market suggested he might when a remote last on debut (6.5f, heavy).
12th
10
12th (10) (80/1 -300%) Yellow Card
80
80/1(-300%)
(10) Yellow Card 80/1, Foaled February 25. Masar colt. Closely related to 7f/1m winner Labhay and useful 6f-8.3f winner New Arrangement, and half-brother to 2 winners, including 6f winner Blue Day. Half-brother to four winners at up to 1m out of mare who improved with time; market useful.
12:35 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
AL SHABABI chased home a 94-rated rival over 7f at Kempton on his debut last month. Given that a step up to the mile should suit the Without Parole colt and with natural improvement on the cards, Owen Burrows' charge is fancied to go in at the second time of asking. Present Times couldn't build on a promising debut performance but he remains of interest switched to the all-weather. Venezuelan paid the price for starting slowly on his racecourse bow, but Ralph Beckett's gelding should be more streetwise this time around.
AL SHABABI made an encouraging start to his career at Kempton last month and looks sure to progress. He gets the nod. Present Times and Best Rate look the likeliest dangers.
Owen Burrows has enjoyed a good season with 2yos and AL SHABABI gets the nod, with Due West second choice.
(1) Cape Breton 15/8, 450,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Strong in betting but he looked backward when coming home last of 4 in novice at Ascot in September and ran to just a similar level at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) last time, looking ill at ease on the track. Remains capable of better on all-weather bow. 450,000gns yearling; evidently felt capable of better and has the edge in experience now.
2
8
2nd (8) (125/1 -400%) Padua
125
125/1(-400%)
(8) Padua 125/1, Foaled February 10. 70,000 gns yearling, Magna Grecia colt. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1¾m Precious Ramotswe out of useful winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner) Miss Pinkerton. Trainer wouldn't be noted for newcomers, so no surprise were this one to need more time.
3
6
3rd (6) (15/2 +6%) Killenaule
7.5
15/2(+6%)
(6) Killenaule 15/2, Foaled April 18. €80,000 foal, Kitten's Joy colt. Dam, 1m winner in France/Italy, half-sister to useful French 1¼m winner Amica Nostra. Market check advised. Trainer has enjoyed a fine season with 2yos, mainly on turf; an interesting newcomer.
4
3
4th (3) (8/1 +60%) Enacting
8
8/1(+60%)
(3) Enacting 8/1, 28/1, showed ability amidst obvious greenness when fifth of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut just under 8 weeks ago, not knocked about. Should progress. Badly needed his debut Kempton experience in September; will have learned plenty.
5th
12
5th (12) (5/1 +17%) Lady Vivian
5
5/1(+17%)
(12) Lady Vivian 5/1, Foaled January 23. 82,000 gns foal, 160,000 gns yearling, Camelot filly. Dam, 6f winner who stayed 1m, half-sister to useful 1m-10.7f winner (stayed 13f) Coolcullen Times. Ticks plenty boxes. Market will be the best guide for a yard in fine late-season and also saddles Cape Breton.
6th
7
6th (7) (16/1 -33%) Night Step
16
16/1(-33%)
(7) Night Step 16/1, 18/1, showed more than first time up despite still looking green when seventh of 12 in novice at Kempton (8f) 33 days ago, needing stronger gallop. May be one for handicaps in due course; interesting to see how he goes in the market.
7th
11
7th (11) (16/1 +20%) Jet Black
16
16/1(+20%)
(11) Jet Black 16/1, In need of experience when twelfth of 15 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 40/1) on debut 33 days ago. Big step forward needed. 40-1 for her Newmarket debut a month ago (7f) when well held; may want more time.
8th
4
8th (4) (40/1 -300%) Gemmari
40
40/1(-300%)
(4) Gemmari 40/1, Foaled February 25. Expert Eye colt. Half-brother to numerous winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Gibeon and 2-y-o 7f winner Gemina. Dam 1½m-1¾m winner who stayed 2m. Makes paper appeal. Well related; the outside stall is never ideal for a newcomer and the market will guide.
9th
2
9th (2) (5/2 +0%) Charming Life
2.5
5/2(+0%)
(2) Charming Life 5/2, €400,000 yearling, Dubawi gelding. 9/2, knew job and ran to a fair level on debut when fourth of 15 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Should improve. Rather drawn away from the action on his 7f Newmarket debut 12 days ago; shortlisted.
10th
9
10th (9) (100/1 -614%) Rolling Luck
100
100/1(-614%)
(9) Rolling Luck 100/1, Foaled April 23. 120,000 gns yearling, New Bay colt. Dam, 8.3f-1½m (Lancashire Oaks) winner, sister to smart/ungenuine 11f-2m winner Blakeney Point. Out of a 1m4f Group 2 winner; trainer is an excellent 5-14 with 2yos on the AW this season.
13:05 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Cape Breton, who cost 450,000gns as a yearling, has so far only dropped hints of living up to his stellar pedigree. However, the son of Frankel drops in class and still commands respect on his all-weather debut. Nevertheless, there should be plenty more to come from CHARMING LIFE, who is a half-brother to a 7f Listed winner on the all-weather in France. The Godolphin gelding shades preference after a promising introduction at Newmarket 12 days ago. Gemmari and Killenaule are notable debutants to consider.
Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to CAPE BRETON, who hasn't lived up to expectations on both turf outings so far but, very much looking the part, Ralph Beckett's colt remains capable of better now switched to all-weather. He can get the better of Charming Life, who knew his job and ran to a fair level on debut at Newmarket recently, while Gemmari and Lady Vivian look most appealing of the newcomers before the benefit of market clues.
Enacting shaped nicely on debut but CHARMING LIFE showed enough from a tough draw at Newmarket 12 days ago to get the vote.
(2) Bobby Bennu 15/8, 2 wins from 6 runs this year, latest at Thirsk in July. 4/1, unlucky to bump into an improver when second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 27 days ago. Big chance back in Class 3 company provided a first-time hood has the desired effect. Beat all bar an impressive winner at Southwell last time; possibilities off same mark.
2
9
2nd (9) (11/1 +31%) Tanmawwy
11
11/1(+31%)
(9) Tanmawwy 11/1, Six wins from 22 Flat runs. 17/2, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Epsom (7f, soft) 45 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes all-weather debut. Likely to find a few too strong. Inconsistent for current yard; not sure what to expect from him on AW debut.
3
5
3rd (5) (11/2 +31%) Local Hero
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(5) Local Hero 11/2, Won at Kempton in June, that very much a standout effort this season. Well-beaten fifth of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) when last seen 3 months ago. Others more persuasive. Interesting on return from layoff, being possibly best when fresh; 2-4 on AW.
4
3
4th (3) (4/1 +27%) Blue Prince
4
4/1(+27%)
(3) Blue Prince 4/1, Latest win at Goodwood in July. Run of good form halted when last of 13 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft, 14/1) 67 days ago. Can get back on track returned to all-weather following a break (has been gelded). Tough 3yo; form dipped last time (gelded since) but he is the type to rebound.
5th
4
5th (4) (18/1 +10%) Documenting
18
18/1(+10%)
(4) Documenting 18/1, 4-time C&D winner. 33/1, seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Now just 1 lb above his last winning mark but doesn't look ready to strike. Retains a useful level of ability aged 11 but last few efforts don't augur well.
6th
1
6th (1) (10/1 -150%) Final Voyage
10
10/1(-150%)
(1) Final Voyage 10/1, Course winner. 9/2, again ran creditably when third of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 3 months ago, not ideally placed. Irish raider who warrants plenty of respect. Irish raider; seven AW wins include a Good Friday contest here in 2023; respected.
7th
6
7th (6) (8/1 -33%) Intervention
8
8/1(-33%)
(6) Intervention 8/1, C&D winner. Twenty-two runs since last win on Boxing Day last year. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 7/1) 11 days ago. Hood back on. Not taken lightly. 0-22 this year but has performed respectably on numerous occasions; not ruled out.
8th
7
8th (7) (80/1 -142%) Cill Mocheallog
80
80/1(-142%)
(7) Cill Mocheallog 80/1, Improved from debut for when taking 16-runner Gowran maiden (7f, heavy) in May. Similar form when third in Cork minor event (1m) in July (final start for P. Twomey) but found things too competitive when tailed off on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, heavy) last month. Ex-Irish 3yo who was soundly beaten on debut for new stable; best watched.
9th
8
9th (8) (17/2 +15%) Lady Dreamer
8.5
17/2(+15%)
(8) Lady Dreamer 17/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year, latest here in September. Had winning run ended back against males and up in grade when sixth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago. That was her first start in 7 weeks so not discounted if building on it here. Faces a stiffer task at this level but brings a perfect C&D record (2-2).
13:37 Lingfield Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Roger Varian's horses have been in excellent form over the last fortnight and the good run can continue with BOBBY BENNU, who may be ideally placed to gain a first handicap success now he goes with a hood added. Blue Prince doesn't have much to find with the selection based on recent efforts and rates a serious contender. Irish raider Final Voyage has winning form over 7f and also appeals back at this trip.
INTERVENTION hasn't won since Boxing Day (when completing a 4-timer) but he's been placed on numerous occasions since so is selected to notch career victory number 12 in reapplied headgear at the expense of Bobby Bennu, who was unlucky to bump into an improver at Southwell recently and remains unexposed. Irish-raider Final Voyage and Lady Dreamer can fight out third.
Back from a layoff and returned to AW, LOCAL HERO gets the vote. Bobby Bennu and Final Voyage are respected.
(1) Sea Theme 6/5, Recorded career victory number 3 with wide-margin success in listed event at Clairefontaine in July. Not disgraced in Group 1s since and leading claims back at listed level for a stable with a strong record in this race. Yard has good record in this; major chance with this filly too if she runs near her best.
2
6
2nd (6) (22/1 -10%) Beeley
22
22/1(-10%)
(6) Beeley 22/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner of novice at Ffos Las in August but last of 9 in handicap at Newbury since. A first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. Probably acts on Polytrack; different headgear today and she needs big overall improvement.
3
11
3rd (11) (9/2 +44%) Meribella
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(11) Meribella 9/2, Useful effort when landing a second career success in 1½m handicap at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last month. Won't need to up her game that much to go close at listed level. AW debut; improving and today's trip can suit for a stable which is still in cracking form.
4
9
4th (9) (22/1 +33%) Kitteridge
22
22/1(+33%)
(9) Kitteridge 22/1, Looked useful when landing a 1¼m Newcastle maiden in February. Failed to make a significant impact at listed level on her next 3 starts but got back on track on track when fourth of 15 on 1½m Newmarket handicap debut last month. More needed back in listed company, though. Best form in Newmarket handicap (1m4f; 100-1) latest but it lags well behind some of these.
5th
4
5th (4) (8/1 0%) Scarlett O'hara
8
8/1(0%)
(4) Scarlett O'hara 8/1, Useful filly, including chasing home Sea Theme in a Clairefontaine listed race in July. Produced a laboured effort in blinkers at Galway since but can bounce back with regular cheekpieces back in place. Excuses on latest start; each-way chance if she's back to form on this AW debut.

6th (2) (40/1 -43%) Drawn To Dream
40
40/1(-43%)
(2) Drawn To Dream 40/1, Useful filly but more miss than hit since a promising stable debut effort at Royal Ascot. Needs first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) to have a positive effect. Needs a return to peak form on this AW debut, with new blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

7th (5) (33/1 -230%) Lingua Franca
33
33/1(-230%)
(5) Lingua Franca 33/1, Useful filly. Winner of an 11f listed race at Hanover in May. Down the field in Group races in Germany since but may fare better with her sights lowered. Also sports first-time cheekpieces. Won Listed race but behind in Group 3 and Group 1, all 1m3f in Germany; AW/headgear debut.

8th (3) (100/1 +0%) Dynamiste
100
100/1(+0%)
(3) Dynamiste 100/1, Won a couple of low-grade handicaps at Bath at the end of the summer but looks out of her depth in this company. Improved fortunes lately but that handicap form leaves her with tons to find at this level.
9th

9th (12) (50/1 +0%) Pure Of Heart
50
50/1(+0%)
(12) Pure Of Heart 50/1, Fairly useful filly. Won a 1½m course handicap in September but only a respectable sixth of 10 at Kempton (11f) since. Has work to do. 1m4f handicap winner at this track but this race demands huge improvement.

10th (8) (125/1 -89%) Kinetic
125
125/1(-89%)
(8) Kinetic 125/1, Has had a really productive time since joining James Owen, winning 4 handicaps, but she'll need to raise her game considerably to get heavily involved in this higher grade. Has done well in 1m4f handicaps but she's well down this list on ratings.
11th

11th (7) (20/1 +0%) Games People Play

20/1(+0%)
(7) Games People Play 20/1, Fairly useful filly. 13/8 and visored time, career best when winning 7-runner novice at Nottingham (1¾m, heavy) 14 days ago, finding extra.This demands a big jolt of improvement, though. Off the mark latest; limited improvement in that and she needs a great deal more today.

12th (10) (10/3 -21%) Madam Celeste
3.333333
10/3(-21%)
(10) Madam Celeste 10/3, Useful form. Very good neck second of 9 to Bellezza in Diamond Stakes at Dundalk (11f, 15/2) 47 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers on first time. Considered. Boxed on very well when close second in 10.5f Listed race at Dundalk (AW); first headgear.
14:07 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 13f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
William Haggas has won four of the last seven renewals and has another live chance with SEA THEME, who was far from disgraced when seventh in the Champions Fillies And Mares Stakes at Ascot last month. Already a dual Listed winner, the daughter of Sea The Stars holds every chance of further success back at this level. Runner-up in the Diamond Stakes at Dundalk most recently, Madam Celeste is feared most, although the upwardly mobile Meribella commands respect too.
SEA THEME should find this a lot easier than the Group 3s she's been contesting recently and can enhance the strong record of the William Haggas stable in this race. Scarlett O'Hara chased home the selection in a similar race in France during the summer and may fill the forecast spot again. Fellow Irish raider Madam Celeste and Ralph Beckett's Meribella complete the shortlist.
William Haggas won this Listed contest in 2017, 2018, 2021 and 2023 and SEA THEME gives him a good chance to improve that record.
(3) Doom 5/2, Improved when placed in Group races at 7f/1m on first 3 starts this year. Below-par efforts the last twice, 5½ lengths sixth of 11 to Great Generation in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good to soft, 13/2) 59 days ago, but can bounce back with tongue strap applied. Successful in last Listed attempt and also warrants respect on the pick of her Group form.

2nd (8) (33/1 -65%) Improvista
33
33/1(-65%)
(8) Improvista 33/1, Off the mark at Clonmel in September, before good fourth in Group 3 at Gowran later same month. Ran to similar level when 4 lengths seventh of 16 to Azada in listed race at Naas (8f, good to soft, 16/1) 31 days ago. More needed. Irish raider who isn't entirely solid on form; best form effort may flatter her.
3
1
3rd (1) (14/1 +13%) Back See Daa
14
14/1(+13%)
(1) Back See Daa 14/1, Useful filly. Shaped as if back in form when sixth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, soft, 5/1) 61 days ago, unlucky not to finish a bit closer having been short of room final 1f. Has something to find as she makes polytrack debut. Fairly useful on her day but faces a stiff assignment back up in class.

4th (6) (11/1 +31%) Rose Prick
11
11/1(+31%)
(6) Rose Prick 11/1, Took a step forward when placed on first 2 starts this season and good effort after 4 months off when 1¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Noir in listed race at Longchamp (9f, heavy, 19/1) 24 days ago. Can give another good account back down in trip. Consistent this term but still not added to 2yo win and has something to find.
5th
11
5th (11) (6/1 -20%) Sacred Angel
6
6/1(-20%)
(11) Sacred Angel 6/1, Useful form over 6f at 2 yrs, winning twice including Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot. Well held in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket (8f, good, 33/1) on return and absent again since, but she's bred to stay this far as she drops back in grade. Very useful last term; absent since well held in 1,000 Guineas; leading chance on ratings.
6th
7
6th (7) (7/1 +50%) American Arrow
7
7/1(+50%)
(7) American Arrow 7/1, Justifed strong support when winning at Haydock on debut and bounced back from a lesser effort when 4¼ lengths fifth of 13 to Sunfall in listed race at Ascot (7f, good, 33/1) 39 days ago. Improvement required but she remains lightly raced. Thrice-raced filly who needs improvement switched to AW.
7th
9
7th (9) (20/1 +33%) Marcella
20
20/1(+33%)
(9) Marcella 20/1, Returned to form when gaining a first win of the year in handicap at Epsom in September. However, wasn't able to repeat that effort when last of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, heavy, 10/1) 31 days ago. Others more persuasive. Raced too freely last time; even if she settles better, this is a tough assignment.
8th
10
8th (10) (4/1 +33%) Ornellaia
4
4/1(+33%)
(10) Ornellaia 4/1, Useful form at 2 yrs, third in Moyglare at the Curragh on final outing. After 13 months off (had wind op) ahead of first start since leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis, shaped as if better for run when eighth of 13 to Sunfall in listed race at Ascot (7f, good, 5/1) 39 days ago. Blew the start on belated reappearance; major player granted a clean break.
9th
5
9th (5) (12/1 -20%) Julia Augusta
12
12/1(-20%)
(5) Julia Augusta 12/1, A while since last win but has shown useful form this year, including when 3½ lengths fifth of 8 to Friendly Soul in Valiant Stakes at Ascot in July. Below form in listed race at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm, 22/1) last time, though she enters calculations after a break. Has some useful form and ties in with Doom on Royal Ascot running; possibilities.
10th
4
10th (4) (9/1 -29%) Iken
9
9/1(-29%)
(4) Iken 9/1, French raider who has been progressing well this year, winning 3 times, including handicap at Chantilly in September. Improved further when 2 lengths third of 9 to Sparks Fly in listed race at Saint-Cloud (8f, soft, 9/1) 40 days ago. Respected. French mare who ran well in Listed event at Saint-Cloud most recently; better than ever.
11th
12
11th (12) (80/1 -100%) Sattwaa
80
80/1(-100%)
(12) Sattwaa 80/1, Made winning return in handicap at this C&D before good second in listed race at Dusseldorf in May. Has gone backwards last 2 starts, though, well beaten in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 200/1) on latest outing in June. The only C&D winner in the field and has progressive AW form; could go well.
12th
2
12th (2) (33/1 -65%) Cell Sa Beela
33
33/1(-65%)
(2) Cell Sa Beela 33/1, Won listed race at Ascot final outing in 2023 but down the field all 3 starts this year, 9¼ lengths last of 11 to Great Generation in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good to soft, 50/1) 59 days ago. Has work to do making only second start on all-weather. Won in this grade on final 2023 start; not in the same form this season.
14:40 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
This revolves around SACRED ANGEL and how fit she is following an absence. Much will have been expected of the daughter of Dark Angel in 2024 following a juvenile campaign that resulted in a Princess Margaret win and a third in the Cheveley Park, but she struggled in the 1000 Guineas and hasn't been seen since. If near to her peak, this provides her with a good opportunity to get her career back on track. Ornellaia, who made the frame in the Moyglare at two, has also had just the one outing this year, finishing down the field at Ascot. She could still be dangerous, with Doom the most likely to capitalise if the aforementioned pair aren't what they were.
A listed winner in France last year, DOOM bettered that form when placed in Group races on her first 3 starts this season, so she is taken to get back to winning ways returned to this level with a tongue strap added. She can see off the challenge of French-mare Iken, who has been thriving as the year has gone on, with Julia Augusta also capable of getting involved.
With strong claims back in Listed grade, DOOM is preferred. French mare Iken is second choice.
(10) Hitched 9/2, 4/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago, not ideally placed. Has good chance on form. Another decent effort last time, having not had the breaks over C&D previously; player.
2
11
2nd (11) (6/4 +45%) Drifts Away
1.5
6/4(+45%)
(11) Drifts Away 6/4, On a hat-trick after 1m wins at Chelmsford and Southwell in recent weeks. Going the right way and a 7 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him. Progressive 3yo; it's not always as easy to dominate here and a 7lb rise demands more.
3
2
3rd (2) (13/2 -30%) Book Of Life
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(2) Book Of Life 13/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/4, best run for this yard when fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Sat close to a strong pace when 4th at Wolverhampton and is 2lb lower today; interesting.
4
3
4th (3) (17/2 -6%) Charlie Mason
8.5
17/2(-6%)
(3) Charlie Mason 17/2, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (7f) 11 days ago. Rossa Ryan takes the ride for the first time since the pair combined to win at Windsor in May. Back on last winning mark if getting away and getting home at 1m, but that's the gamble.
5th
5
5th (5) (22/1 -159%) Celebrating Ethel
22
22/1(-159%)
(5) Celebrating Ethel 22/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Good fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/1) 23 days ago, not ideally placed. Polytrack efforts in Ireland weren't exciting and this trip round here is a bare minimum.
6th
6
6th (6) (10/1 +17%) Slaney Swagger
10
10/1(+17%)
(6) Slaney Swagger 10/1, Fairly useful form in Ireland but below that level in 4 runs since coming to Britain, fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 22 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. String of costly defeats for Jim Bolger and a couple more for this yard; risky now.
7th
8
7th (8) (25/1 +38%) I Can't Believe
25
25/1(+38%)
(8) I Can't Believe 25/1, Modest maiden. Well held in first 2 handicaps last month. Others are much more obvious. Needs to brush things up at the start; Claxton Bay may be his yard's best chance.
8th
12
8th (12) (10/1 +55%) Edvard Grieg
10
10/1(+55%)
(12) Edvard Grieg 10/1, Fair maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (1m) 26 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Ex-Irish; run poorly twice since a fair debut for this yard and has it to prove now.
9th
1
9th (1) (33/1 -83%) Green Power
33
33/1(-83%)
(1) Green Power 33/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (1m) 35 days ago, left poorly placed. Not easy to make a case for on recent efforts but he did win twice on AW at the beginning of 2024. Getting on and less consistent now but 6lb below his last winning mark; each-way shout.
10th
9
10th (9) (28/1 -100%) Outrace
28
28/1(-100%)
(9) Outrace 28/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) 25 days ago. Well handicapped; each-way claims but his strike-rate and losing run of 16 is offputting.
11th
7
11th (7) (18/1 +18%) Beauld As Brass
18
18/1(+18%)
(7) Beauld As Brass 18/1, Unreliable sort. Refused to race here when last seen in August. Has rejoined yard after leaving Adam West. Not one for maximum faith. Third go beyond sprint trips; refused to race last time; questions to answer.
12th
4
12th (4) (25/1 -257%) Claxton Bay
25
25/1(-257%)
(4) Claxton Bay 25/1, Winner at Beverley in September. 11/4, bit below form when sixth of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago. Claims if back to the Beverley form. Touch disappointing as favourite last time but maybe the ground was slower than ideal.
15:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
DRIFTS AWAY is progressing nicely and supplemented his breakthrough Chelmsford triumph when justifying favouritism at Southwell. A further 7lb rise demands considerably more of him, but his rate of improvement could keep him ahead of the handicapper for now. Claxton Bay was unable to reward favourite-backers when attempting to back up a Beverley victory at Newmarket and, even though he has something to prove on the all-weather, he can't be written off yet. Book Of Life and Celebrating Ethel are a couple more to consider.
DRIFTS AWAY stands out as a 3-y-o on the up and can defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Hitched confirmed he's back in better form when fourth at Wolverhampton last month and is second choice ahead of Claxton Bay.
The longer trip should be fine for BOOK OF LIFE, who was a 7.5f 2yo Polytrack winner in France. He's preferred to Hitched.
(12) Phoenix Moon 5/1, C&D winner in August. 22/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 23 days ago. Can give a good account. Steady progress in recent times and is proven over C&D; set to go well once more.
2
3
2nd (3) (10/1 +0%) Harb
10
10/1(+0%)
(3) Harb 10/1, Course winner. Latest win at Sandown in August. Last of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 50/1) 30 days ago. Drawn widest. Happier over 5f these days and stall 12 can't be ideal for one happiest on the sharp end.
3
2
3rd (2) (6/1 +40%) Professor Tickle
6
6/1(+40%)
(2) Professor Tickle 6/1, C&D winner under Rossa Ryan last December. Below par since but back on a good mark as a result and interesting with Ryan in the plate for the first time since that C&D success. Ran poorly in four starts in the summer and needs to bounce back after a break.
4
8
4th (8) (150/1 -127%) Okami
150
150/1(-127%)
(8) Okami 150/1, Course winner for Roger Varian but has struggled since joining Laura Mongan. Struggled badly for this yard, including in cheekpieces latterly; hard to recommend.
5th
4
5th (4) (17/2 -55%) Recon Mission
8.5
17/2(-55%)
(4) Recon Mission 17/2, Course winner. Twenty five runs since last win in 2022. 13/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Expected to be bang there. Goes well here and won't mind coming back up from 5f, so he is one to consider.
6th
11
6th (11) (28/1 -40%) Alshimali
28
28/1(-40%)
(11) Alshimali 28/1, Modest form at best in 4 starts for Marcus Tregoning. Drops in trip on first outing for a new yard after 5 months off. The betting should guide. Drops from 1m and is drawn wide for his new yard, whose best chance may be Recon Mission.
7th
10
7th (10) (12/1 -9%) Sassy Redhead
12
12/1(-9%)
(10) Sassy Redhead 12/1, Three-time C&D winner. Probably needed it back from a break at Chelmsford (6f) 13 days ago but he needs to have come on a lot. Three wins and two seconds from seven runs over C&D; should fare better than latest start.
8th
5
8th (5) (7/1 +50%) Roman Emperor
7
7/1(+50%)
(5) Roman Emperor 7/1, 12/1, last of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft) 29 days ago. Bounce back needed. Rather lost the plot but no surprise to see the return here bring about a better effort.
9th
6
9th (6) (2/1 +60%) Walking On Clouds
2
2/1(+60%)
(6) Walking On Clouds 2/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 3/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 25 days ago. has come down a long day in the weights and a market move would be interesting. Well treated now but is still to make the frame after six runs on Polytrack.
10th
7
10th (7) (10/1 -200%) Lion Ring
10
10/1(-200%)
(7) Lion Ring 10/1, Sprinter on a roll on AW this autumn, making it 4 wins in his last 5 starts when seeing off 7 rivals at Chelmsford (6f) 32 days ago. Has to be much respected in his current mood. Has progressed well this autumn; seems as happy here as at Chelmsford; leading claims.
11th
1
11th (1) (40/1 -43%) Dream By Day
40
40/1(-43%)
(1) Dream By Day 40/1, Below par since joining this yard and absent since March so it's probably best to look elsewhere. Fitted with a first-time tongue strap. Wins for previous yards came over 5f after a recent outing; would want to see some support.
12th
9
12th (9) (33/1 -32%) Voodoo Ray
33
33/1(-32%)
(9) Voodoo Ray 33/1, Three turf wins in the spring but rarely in the same form since. Finished well held over C&D in August and does seem more effective on turf.
15:50 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LION RING is unbeaten in his last four appearances on Polytrack - all in class 6 company - with his sole defeat in that time coming in a class 5 on the Southwell Tapeta. Andrew Martin's six-year-old has only been bumped up another 3lb for his latest success, and Ryan Kavanagh clearly gets a great tune out of him. Phoenix Moon arrives in good form and could turn out to be the primary threat, although spare a thought for the veteran Recon Mission.
The thriving LION RING might be able to defy the handicapper again from a handy inside stall. Phoenix Moon and Recon Mission arrive in form and should be on the premises, while Professor Tickle and Walking On Clouds are back on good marks and would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in their favour.
Phoenix Moon is respected but LION RING (nap) is selected to win his fifth consecutive race when on Polytrack.

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
