1st (7) (7/2 +75%)Golspie |
7/2(+75%) | (7) Golspie 7/2, Below form when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time. Trainer in form and suited by 10/11f on AW. Needs more off a 2lb lower mark. 2-29 (0-17 on the AW) and finished behind two of these over C&D seven days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/1 -54%)King Chaos |
10/1(-54%) | (6) King Chaos 10/1, Made late gains when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Usually held up and suited by 10-12f on AW. Needs more to figure. Usually gets going too late; 0-14 in handicaps and others make greater appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/2 -22%)Dingwall |
11/2(-22%) | (5) Dingwall 11/2, Scored by a nose off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton two starts ago. Far too keen but did well considering last time. Effective 8-10f on AW; new mark may not stop him if settling. In fine form in recent weeks with three wins (demoted once) and a second; hard to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/1 -214%)Prince Achille |
11/1(-214%) | (4) Prince Achille 11/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here two runs back and ran to form last time. Effective 10-12f and acts on AW. Up another 2lb but should go well. Five of his six wins have come over C&D; only beaten a nose last time and high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 -27%)Sea Legend |
14/1(-27%) | (3) Sea Legend 14/1, No show from off the pace when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Top course jockey booked and usually held up. Effective 10/11f on AW. 1-27 and finished behind three of these here a week ago; has burst blood vessels. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (7/2 +50%)Showstorm |
7/2(+50%) | (10) Showstorm 7/2, May have needed the run back from 12 months off when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Redcar. Cheekpieces first time and off a short break. Effective 6-10f on AW; stamina to prove. Unplaced in four starts on turf; has plenty of AW winners in his familly; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (7/1 -8%)Word Of Mouth |
7/1(-8%) | (2) Word Of Mouth 7/1, Ran to form tried in cheekpieces when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Returning from a break and acts on AW. Headgear now removed. 0-7 and not really progressing; something to prove back from 131 days off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (11/2 +15%)Bearwith |
11/2(+15%) | (1) Bearwith 11/2, Too keen tried in blinkers, finished strongly when 6 1/2l third in a handicap here last time. Suited by 10-12f and acts on AW. Capable off this mark. C&D winner who ran well when third here a week ago; solid chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (40/1 0%)Galileo's Compass |
40/1(0%) | (11) Galileo's Compass 40/1, Well held after being hampered when down the field in a handicap here last time. Blinkers first time and acts on AW. Struggling since summer win. Has regressed since sole win; has plenty on from 4lb out of the weights; blinkers on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (22/1 -57%)Star Cast |
22/1(-57%) | (9) Star Cast 22/1, Below form back up in trip when down the field in a handicap here latest. Effective 8-10f and acts on AW. Needs to bounce back. 0-11; has shown ability but only beat one home over C&D last time; look elsewhere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (25/1 -108%)Blackwater Lilly |
25/1(-108%) | (8) Blackwater Lilly 25/1, Ran to form up in trip on handicap debut in cheekpieces when beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Carlisle. Returning from a break and acts on AW. Has more to offer. Makes her AW debut after 138 days off; worth monitoring in the market. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A dual winner on Tapeta at Wolverhampton last month, Dingwall has been consistent. However, a 4lb rise after his second at Chelmsford is a concern and slender preference is for PRINCE ACHILLE. Successful over C&D before narrowly losing out over track and trip, the six-year-old's effectiveness at this venue is the persuasive factor in the casting vote. Bearwith, Sea Legend and Golspie have form that ties them together and they warrant betting checks.

The vote goes to PRINCE ACHILLE who came within a nose of recording a sixth C&D success last time.

1st (4) (11/4 +0%)Straight Ahead |
11/4(+0%) | (4) Straight Ahead 11/4, Ran to form after being gelded, getting off the mark on all-weather debut when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; suited by 5f and effective at 6f; can go well again after a small rise. First run on AW and since being gelded when leading late in C&D nursery latest; up 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/8 +0%)Comic Strip |
11/8(+0%) | (2) Comic Strip 11/8, Improved again to win a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; effective at 5/6f; up in the weights but could complete a hat-trick. Progressive sort who is 2-2 in 5f nurseries and can defy the handicapper again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (8/1 -45%)Jack The Bachelor |
8/1(-45%) | (1) Jack The Bachelor 8/1, Step back in right direction when beaten 6l in Legacy Stakes (Listed) at Dundalk last time; hood first time; off a short-break; effective 5f on sound surface; dropping in grade on British debut. 5f winner in Ireland but useful effort will be needed on yard debut; hooded first time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/2 +44%)Sands Of Josepi |
5/2(+44%) | (3) Sands Of Josepi 5/2, Improved to get off the mark when winning a novice at Southwell by 1 1/4l last time; effective 5f, acts on AW; could do better still now handicapping. Speedy sort who made all in 5f Southwell novice last month; mark looks workable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

COMIC STRIP is 2-2 in nurseries and having done only what was required to win those races, a 4lb rise for his latest success could be readily manageable for the Crisfords' progressive youngster. All three of his rivals know what it takes to win and there is very little to split Sands Of Josepi, Straight Ahead and Jack The Bachelor. With this representing a drop in class, perhaps the last-named could be the biggest danger.

Sands Of Josepi can go well but COMIC STRIP has looked to have a bit up his sleeve the last twice and can complete the hat-trick.

1st (2) (9/4 +68%)Surgeon Commander |
9/4(+68%) | (2) Surgeon Commander 9/4, Made late headway off a break when beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 6f and acts on the all-weather. Open to improvement. Took a step backwards kept to 6f here yesterday but may do better still; not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (8) (10/3 +5%)Lope Harswell |
10/3(+5%) | (8) Lope Harswell 10/3, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4l in a nursery here latest; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; fairly exposed but tough and consistent. Creditable efforts over 7f/1m here on her last three starts; in the mix once again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 +20%)Runninman |
4/1(+20%) | (4) Runninman 4/1, Bit keen but ran to form when 6 1/4l third in a nursery here most recent run; cheekpieces first time; top course jockey; pedigree mix of speed and stamina; drop in trip might suit. Fair third on nursery debut last month (1m); work to do with Lope Harswell; headgear added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/1 +8%)Sunniva |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Sunniva 11/1, Always last off a break dropped in trip when beaten 8l in a nursery here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on G, GF, AW; needs to bounce back. Only third when favourite for her nursery debut in August (7f); 6f too sharp latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (18/1 -50%)Charcon |
18/1(-50%) | (6) Charcon 18/1, Improved but maybe flattered when fourth beaten 9 1/4l in a novice here latest; effective at 6f, acts on AW; may do better now handicapping. Not easily recommended on racecourse evidence but open to improvement now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (16/1 +11%)Elemental |
16/1(+11%) | (9) Elemental 16/1, Below form when well beaten in a novice at Southwell latest; bred to be effective 6/7f; may do better now handicapping. No impact in three 6f novice events, the last two on Tapeta; this should be more suitable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (11/2 +54%)Nutbean |
11/2(+54%) | (10) Nutbean 11/2, Again ran to a poor level when down the field in a novice at Chester last time. Blinkers on for the first time and off a short break. Pedigree mixes stamina influences and needs more now handicapping. Poor form in three 6f turf runs; several reasons to expect better today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (25/1 -233%)Diamond Aura |
25/1(-233%) | (3) Diamond Aura 25/1, May not have stayed the longer trip when well beaten in a novice here last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time; effective at 6f and acts on the all-weather. May have more to offer. Mark looks tough on racecourse evidence but she is bred to do better; headgear now tried. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

With several nursery debutants and potential improvers on show, the betting could be a good source of clues. The likes of Charcon, Calypso Breeze and Runninman won't need to step forward by much to have an impact. However, the safest option might be LOPE HARSWELL, who has tackled stronger opposition than she faces here. Fourth over a mile at the track last time, the third has subsequently franked that form and this return to 7f will suit.

Soft ground was an excuse for a disappointing run at Leicester and CALYPSO BREEZE is better judged on her earlier Wolverhampton win.

1st (1) (10/3 +33%)Beckon |
10/3(+33%) | (1) Beckon 10/3, Every chance when backing up her debut effort dropped in trip, finishing 2 1/4l third in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 7f or 8f; could improve tried over further. Two promising AW runs this winter; return to a mile in her favour; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/2 +31%)Silky Lass |
11/2(+31%) | (3) Silky Lass 11/2, Took a step back from her debut when beaten 9 1/4l in a novice here last time; yet to find suitable conditions; others preferred. Down the field in two runs last month; has ability but improvement is essential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3/1 +14%)Fanciulla Del West |
3/1(+14%) | (2) Fanciulla Del West 3/1, Made late gains and showed some promise when 5 1/2l fourth in a novice here on debut; partnered by a top course jockey; effective at 8f; major improvement likely. Left the impression she could leave her C&D debut form well behind her in time; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/2 +18%)Fille Imbassee |
9/2(+18%) | (6) Fille Imbassee 9/2, Improved down in trip when 2l third in a novice at Lingfield last time; effective at 7f; step up in trip may help but needs more. Improved effort when 3rd at Lingfield last month; that form not working out though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (14/1 -17%)Very Demure |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Very Demure 14/1, Showed some promise when beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden at Kempton on debut; returning from a break; likely to appreciate 8–10f; should improve. Ran okay in a 1m fillies' maiden at Kempton in August; open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (6/1 -167%)Arc La Shari |
6/1(-167%) | (5) Arc La Shari 6/1, Promising debut when third, beaten 2 1/4l, in a novice here; tongue-tie on for the first time; effective at 7f; could improve up to 8f. Third of five in a slowly-run 7f novice here last month; now tongue tied; may do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (9/1 +0%)Last Flight |
9/1(+0%) | (7) Last Flight 9/1, 28 Apr; Masar filly; half-sister to several winners, including Goldie Hawk, useful at 10-12f; probably need the experience. Half-sister to three winners; dam closely related to Derby winner Motivator; market useful. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ARC LA SHARI showed ability over 7f here on debut when third to the odds-on favourite. The daughter of Pinatubo faces an easier task and is open to improvement, with this extra yardage likely to play to her strengths. Beckon arrives on the back of finishing third at Wolverhampton and has shown enough to suggest she can have a say in the outcome, while Fille Imbassee is another to consider.

Beckon should be involved back at a mile but FANCIULLA DEL WEST may leave her debut fourth well behind her tonight.

1st (2) (10/3 +67%)Midnight Lion |
10/3(+67%) | (2) Midnight Lion 10/3, Scored by a head off a 2lb lower mark here three starts ago; below his best last time; enjoys making the running; effective from 7f to 10f; stepping back up to 8f should suit. Six wins in 2025, the latest over 7f here last month; not quite so good twice this month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/2 +0%)Flying Fletcher |
9/2(+0%) | (6) Flying Fletcher 9/2, Ran to form but not the best of runs late when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; from a top course trainer; suited by 7f on the all-weather; down 1lb and can go well. Both wins at 6f but stays 7f; whether he wants this far remains to be seen though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (18/1 -300%)Callianassa |
18/1(-300%) | (3) Callianassa 18/1, Disappointing up in class when beaten 8l in a handicap at York last time; was in good form beforehand; returning from a break; effective at 7/8f and on the all-weather; should return to form down in grade. Two C&D wins in midsummer; absent since the Ebor meeting; return to Class 4 and AW a plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/2 -38%)Tribal Wisdom |
11/2(-38%) | (4) Tribal Wisdom 11/2, Ran to form with a good attitude when landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; top course jockey booked; consistent and respected despite a 3lb rise. Thriving in recent months and latest 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/3 +58%)Al Muqdad |
10/3(+58%) | (5) Al Muqdad 10/3, Scored by 5 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; returned to form when third last time; effective at 7f on the all-weather; another good run likely. All wins at 7f; good 3rd off this mark two weeks ago; should be fully effective at a mile. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (15/2 -36%)Lessay |
15/2(-36%) | (8) Lessay 15/2, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start; ran to form last time; trainer in form; effective at 7/8f on the all-weather; can go well again. Arrives in good form (7f) and fully effective over a mile; this a step up in class though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (14/1 +58%)Starliner |
14/1(+58%) | (7) Starliner 14/1, Found little up in trip when comfortably held in a handicap at Hamilton last time; off a short break; effective from 7f to 10f on the all-weather; needs to bounce back. Blew hot and cold after his Hamilton win in May; others look more convincing after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (6/1 -71%)Moon Beginnings |
6/1(-71%) | (1) Moon Beginnings 6/1, Improved up in trip when second, beaten 2 1/4l in a novice at Southwell last time; effective at 7/8f; further progress likely now handicapping. Winning debut in September (7f, good) and solid second under penalty last month; unexposed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Tribal Wisdom arrives at the top of his game having won three of his last four starts, all on Tapeta. Moon Beginnings is burdened with top weight for his handicap debut but could still feature with further improvement likely, while CALLIANASSA returns to this venue with solid claims. Below her best at York last time, Brian Ellison's four-year-old completed a brace over C&D before that and remains of interest, despite a 4lb higher mark.

The unexposed Moon Beginnings is interesting but TRIBAL WISDOM arrives on the up and can defy his latest 3lb rise.

1st (5) (3/1 +0%)Aisling Oscar |
3/1(+0%) | (5) Aisling Oscar 3/1, Improved again down in trip, showing a good attitude to win a handicap by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark here last time. Effective from 7f to 9f and acts on all-weather. A 6lb higher mark asks more but she's in red-hot form. Three wins here in last month; 6lb rise for latest should not prevent another bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (2/1 +56%)Military Leader |
2/1(+56%) | (6) Military Leader 2/1, Ran to form, finishing strongly when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time. Trainer in form and effective at 7f. Acts on all-weather and return to 8f may suit. 0-9 but knocking at the door in 7f handicaps and should be just as effective over 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (25/1 +24%)Pallas Lord |
25/1(+24%) | (7) Pallas Lord 25/1, Again ran to a moderate level when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7f to 8f and better on all-weather. In terrible form. Multiple course winner but hasn't shown his form since March; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (5/1 +29%)Crownthorpe |
5/1(+29%) | (8) Crownthorpe 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Suited by 8f and best on all-weather. Competitive mark still. Veteran; arrives in decent form; others appeal more for the win but he should be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/2 +53%)Wyvern |
7/2(+53%) | (4) Wyvern 7/2, Scored by 1l off a 2lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Made late headway but was a bit below best last time. Usually held up and effective over 7f to 8f. Needs more off this mark. C&D winner in November; didn't get the rub of the green next time; should be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/1 +0%)Heretic |
11/1(+0%) | (2) Heretic 11/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell three starts ago. Below form down in trip last time but effective at 8f and acts well on all-weather. Step back up in trip may help. Two wins at Southwell in October but seems to have gone off the boil. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (18/1 -13%)Ratafia |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Ratafia 18/1, Again below form when beaten 8l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time. Off a short break and suited by 7f to 8f. Form has tailed off lately. Won over this trip at Yarmouth in June but has failed to repeat the form; needs a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (100/1 -52%)Showmethewayhome |
100/1(-52%) | (9) Showmethewayhome 100/1, Continued in poor form when well beaten in a handicap here latest. Effective at 8f. Out of form in 2025. 15-race maiden with placed form but few positives to take from last five races. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (100/1 -150%)Easter Sundae |
100/1(-150%) | (10) Easter Sundae 100/1, Again ran to a moderate level dropped 4f in trip when beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Absent for a very lengthy period and yet to find suitable conditions. Taking another big drop in trip. 0-9; returns from layoff after stable switch; hard to recommend but worth a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (40/1 -233%)The Doonan |
40/1(-233%) | (1) The Doonan 40/1, Below form down in trip when comfortably held in a seller at Leicester last time. Top course jockey booked. Off a short break and effective from 7f to 9f. Step back up in trip may help now handicapping. Unplaced all three starts; may improve now handicapping but hard to fancy on form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

AISLING OSCAR completed a hat-trick of course wins when scoring over 7f last time. Adrian Keatley's charge beat a subsequent winner in the process and may not have finished yet. Military Leader has been threatening to open his account and steps up in trip with a shout, while Crownthorpe slips further down the weights and the veteran shaped well when fourth over C&D on Tuesday.

At some point the handicapper will catch up with AISLING OSCAR (nap) but Adrian Keatley's 4yo is thriving and may complete a four-timer.

1st (8) (28/1 -12%)Bobby Joe Leg |
28/1(-12%) | (8) Bobby Joe Leg 28/1, Didn't find much and ran below form when comfortably held in a handicap here last time. Effective 7f and much better on the all-weather; needs to bounce back. Two heavy defeats back from six months off and only been dropped 2lb; vulnerable for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4/1 +0%)Bajan Bandit |
4/1(+0%) | (5) Bajan Bandit 4/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here on his penultimate start and ran to form when staying on late for second last time. Trainer in form; suited by 7/8f; in fine form over C&D and can go well again up 1lb. Arrives on the back of two good C&D runs; likely to be in the thick of it once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 -33%)They All Know Me |
10/1(-33%) | (3) They All Know Me 10/1, Bit below form when 6 1/2l third in a novice here on latest run. Top course trainer; off a short break; effective 7/8f; doesn't look straightforward but could do better handicapping. Lightly raced 3yo but improvement will be needed to make a winning handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/1 -57%)Gressington |
11/1(-57%) | (4) Gressington 11/1, Made late headway and ran to form down in trip when beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective 6-8f; mark continues to ease. Fair efforts on last 3 visits to Newcastle; closely matched with Bajan Bandit on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/2 -10%)Just Typical |
11/2(-10%) | (6) Just Typical 11/2, Too keen but did well considering when beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Top course jockey; suited by 7/8f; can go well again. Had a fine year and ran right up to his best when third over C&D last week; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (5/1 +50%)Brazilian Rose |
5/1(+50%) | (9) Brazilian Rose 5/1, Too keen and again below form when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective 6/7f; enough to prove for now. Three 6f wins here in January; mixed record more recently and others appeal more. |

5/2(+0%) | (1) Counting Cards 5/2, Bit keen but ran to form after a wind operation when tried in a tongue-tie and beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time. Second run after the wind operation; off a short break; effective 6-8f; drop in trip no issue and could have a big say. Pleasing handicap debut when 2nd at Southwell in October (1m); unexposed and 7f can help. |

8th (10) (12/1 +40%)Miners Gamble |
12/1(+40%) | (10) Miners Gamble 12/1, Found little and ran below form when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective 8-10f; taking a big drop in trip. Two runs this month (after a break) have been underwhelming; big drop in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (40/1 -43%)Monotone |
40/1(-43%) | (2) Monotone 40/1, May have needed the run after a wind operation when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Effective 5-7f; mark falling but hard to fancy. Not shone in two runs for new yard; drops in class but others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (14/1 -40%)Samra Star |
14/1(-40%) | (7) Samra Star 14/1, Scored by 2l off a 2lb lower mark here in October but was below her best when fifth last time. Effective 7-9f; suited by all-weather; has lost form of late. Conditions fine and running well enough of late; doesn't look ahead of her mark though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

COUNTING CARDS remains a maiden but ran well when second over a mile at Southwell on his first start since being gelded and undergoing wind surgery and he looks the likeliest winner. Bajan Bandit could the biggest danger after a win and a second here on his last two starts. Bobby Joe Leg has a good Newcastle record, with nine victories over the 7f, and although not at his best last time when a well-beaten sixth, he has won off this mark and higher.

Counting Cards is open to further progress but BAJAN BANDIT arrives in top form and remains well treated.

1st (8) (9/4 +25%)Yorkshire Glory |
9/4(+25%) | (8) Yorkshire Glory 9/4, Built on recent efforts to get off the mark landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 6-8f, acts on GS, G and AW; good chance up 3lb. Knocking at the door before his C&D win 11 days ago; should remain competitive. |

2nd (10) (16/1 -14%)Fircombe Hall |
16/1(-14%) | (10) Fircombe Hall 16/1, Step back in right direction when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here latest; effective at 6f, acts on AW; past C&D winner, bit more like it latest. Multiple C&D winner; Tuesday's C&D 4th his best run after a summer break; each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (28/1 -40%)Master Dandy |
28/1(-40%) | (6) Master Dandy 28/1, Showed little in new headgear combination when beaten 9l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Suited by 6f and acts on AW. Has been struggling of late. Should be well treated but recent efforts have been uninspiring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (33/1 -18%)Penny Mountain |
33/1(-18%) | (7) Penny Mountain 33/1, Found little and was well below form when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective at 6f and acts on AW. Current mark still looks stiff. Some promise here on penultimate start but less good on Tuesday; others look safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/2 +63%)Last Outlaw |
9/2(+63%) | (2) Last Outlaw 9/2, Again below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 5/6f and acts on AW. Form has tailed off this year. Down in the weights after a couple of lesser efforts; stiff 6f perhaps too much of a test. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (40/1 -122%)Yellow Lemons |
40/1(-122%) | (11) Yellow Lemons 40/1, No-show from off the pace when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective at 6-8f and acts on AW. Poor maiden overall. Conditions to suit but she is a 17-race maiden and ran poorly last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (10/3 +5%)Pit Boss |
10/3(+5%) | (5) Pit Boss 10/3, Ran to form down in trip beaten 1/2l off this mark here last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on GS, GF and AW; respected off same mark as latest. Good 2nd in a 0-55 over C&D on Tuesday; now 0-16 but capable of another big run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (11/1 -175%)Asadjumeirah |
11/1(-175%) | (4) Asadjumeirah 11/1, Below form when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 6f and suited by AW. Can go well now down 1lb. Conditions to suit and he arrives on the back of a series of good runs; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (9/2 -29%)Spun To Gold |
9/2(-29%) | (1) Spun To Gold 9/2, Scored by a nose off a 2lb lower mark here penultimate start; below form when sixth last time; top course jockey; effective 6/7f, acts on GS, G and AW; more needed up 2lb. Came up short in his bid for four-timer 15 days ago but no surprise were he to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (28/1 +15%)Madame Plaintiff |
28/1(+15%) | (9) Madame Plaintiff 28/1, Below form when beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Suited by 7/8f and acts on AW. In moderate form. Just 1-23 overall and her record for this yard is patchy; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (40/1 +20%)Shoptilyoudrop |
40/1(+20%) | (12) Shoptilyoudrop 40/1, Again ran to a moderate level when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 7f with best efforts in France on AW. Plenty to prove still for new stable. 16-race maiden; yet to shine for new yard and now she drops in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (16/1 +52%)Prince Of Bel Lir |
16/1(+52%) | (3) Prince Of Bel Lir 16/1, Found little and was below form when up in trip in a handicap here most recently. Trainer in form. Effective at 6f and acts on AW. Drop in trip should suit. On dangerous mark; went off too hard on stable debut (7f); better expected tonight. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

The winning run of Spun To Gold ended after he pulled too hard before finishing sixth here but, if he settles, he has every chance of getting involved. Asadjumeirah and Fircombe Hall both have wins here, but the vote goes to PRINCE OF BEL LIR. His last success was off 4lb higher in January and he is entitled to improve for a weakening ninth over further here on his first start since April. Back at his favourite trip with that run behind him, he can take the necessary step forward.

Yorkshire Glory should make another bold bid but PRINCE OF BEL LIR is interesting on his second run for Karl Burke.

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.
