1st (5)  (17/2 +29%)Woodhay Wonder |
17/2(+29%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Woodhay Wonder 17/2, Ended 2023 on the up with back-to-back 6f successes in conditions events on July and Rowley course here in the autumn. Goes into handicaps for her return and can't be dismissed. Successful in Newmarket sales races last August/October; should perform well. |
|||
2nd (17)  (20/1 -11%)Trefor |
20/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Trefor 20/1, Got off the mark in 6f Windsor novice in August but signed off with a below-form sixth of 10 in nursery at Yarmouth (6f, soft) following month. Needs to bounce back after a break. Not fully exposed but is eligible for easier handicaps; difficult task. |
|||
3rd (1)  (20/1 -43%)Dapper Valley |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dapper Valley 20/1, Debut 5f Newbury winner who signed off with a very good third of 12 in nursery at Goodwood (6f, soft) 8 months ago. Needs considering on his return. Absent since running well at Glorious Goodwood; best two performances on slow ground. |
|||
4th (7)  (33/1 -106%)Chief Mankato |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Chief Mankato 33/1, Made a winning debut in Windsor novice (6f) in May but came in last in July Stakes then beat only one rival in valuable conditions event here final run. Evidently held in high regard so could bounce back this year having been gelded. Disappointing since Windsor win; needs to show the benefit of a gelding operation. |
|||
5th (13)  (10/1 +29%)Mashadi |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Mashadi 10/1, Still a maiden but he has taken his form up a level this term for new yard (formerly with Dominic Ffrench Davis), cheekpieces on when second of 12 in 7f Kempton maiden 15 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Runner-up on six occasions but remains a frustrating maiden. |
|||
6th (14)  (20/1 -43%)Cajetan |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Cajetan 20/1, Showed some fair form at 2 yrs and he cosily landed the odds on his return in 7-runner minor event at Newcastle (6f) 31 days ago. May do better still now handicapping with cheekpieces retained. Possibilities. Opened his account at Newcastle on reappearance; may build on that success. |
|||
7th (12)  (25/1 +11%)Run Boy Run |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Run Boy Run 25/1, Gelded/off 5 months before landing breakthrough win in 5-runner maiden at Newcastle (6f) 27 days ago. Needs to step forward now going into handicaps at these weights. Took advantage of good opportunity on seasonal debut; this is a harder task. |
|||
8th (10)  (18/1 -13%)Love Billy Boy |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Love Billy Boy 18/1, A fairly useful 5f juvenile winner but he was tried in blinkers when only eighth of 10 in listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar final run. Needs to bounce back on his return. More exposed than most of these opponents; gelded since last run; opposed. |
|||
9th (4)  (14/1 -133%)City House |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) City House 14/1, Promising Night Of Thunder colt who was much improved when impressively getting off the mark in 11-runner nursery at Kempton (6f) in October. Hiked up 13 lb but still not taken lightly. Impressive at Kempton on final 2yo start; open to any amount of further progress. |
|||
10th (3)  (15/2 +12%)Blue Prince |
15/2(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Blue Prince 15/2, Progressed well since joining this yard, landing 6f handicaps at Southwell and Newcastle. Posted another solid effort when third of 11 in handicap back at Newcastle (6f) 20 days ago, finishing well, so can make presence felt. Consistent on AW for current stable; ran well on finals day; each-way possibilities. |
|||
11th (11)  (9/2 +78%)Pilgrim |
9/2(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Pilgrim 9/2, Likeable sort who took his form up a notch when getting off the mark in 15-runner novice at York (6f, heavy) in October. Since gelded and looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut. Player. Justified favouritism at York six months ago; gelded since; may build on that win. |
|||
12th (6)  (16/1 -60%)Irish Nectar |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Irish Nectar 16/1, Signed off last season on a hat-trick after bagging 5f Nottingham maiden and then 9-runner nursery at York (5f, heavy) in October. Very much one to consider on his seasonal return. Came from off strong pace to win 5f contests the last twice; steps back up to 6f. |
|||
13th (9)  (9/1 +0%)Pen Portrait |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Pen Portrait 9/1, Progressive son of Night of Thunder who bagged 6f minor event at Wolverhampton before recording a very good Yarmouth second (6.1f) later in the autumn. Should improve again this year (gelded), so worthy of respect. Wolverhampton success came at the expense of City House; interesting contender. |
|||
14th (8)  (17/2 +0%)Gamekeeper |
17/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gamekeeper 17/2, Blue Point colt who landed the odds with plenty to spare in 6f Wolverhampton maiden before posting a good third in 6f Kempton novice on his return 22 days ago. In top hands so must be respected now going handicapping. Represents a top yard and remains open to further improvement; enters calculations. |
|||
15th (2)  (18/1 -50%)Almarada Prince |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Almarada Prince 18/1, Progressive juvenile who made it 3-4 in 12-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) in October. Must enter calculations on his handicap debut. Recorded form figures of 6111 last term; now in deeper waters but he's progressive. |
|||
16th (15)  (22/1 -57%)Ingleby Ivy |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Ingleby Ivy 22/1, Landed 6f Ripon novice in September but only seventh of 9 in listed race at York (6f, soft) following month. Remains with potential so not discounted returning for her handicap debut. Thrice-raced filly who may still have more to offer; stable among the winners. |
|||
17th (16)  (12/1 +25%)North View |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) North View 12/1, Expert Eye colt who made the most of a good opportunity when opening his account in 7-runner maiden at Bath (5.7f, firm) in September. Has more to offer and weighted to go well on his first venture into handicap company. Thrice-raced colt; penultimate effort received a boost here on Tuesday; appealing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
An opening mark of 80 looks more than manageable for NORTH VIEW (nap), who is first choice ahead of Pilgrim in a competitive opener

(12)  (20/1 -43%)Dancing Away |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Dancing Away 20/1, 160,000 gns yearling, Galiway filly. Sister to useful French winner up to 9.5f Kenway. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f winner, won Prix Eclipse and third in Prix de la Foret. Wears hood. Yard won this in 2013. Catches the eye on paper but takes on males on debut & the hood strikes a note of caution. |
|||
1st (5)  (4/1 +20%)First Conquest |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) First Conquest 4/1, Teofilo gelding. Brother to smart winner up to 1¼m Key Victory, closely related to 1m winner Moving Colours and half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart 1m/9f winner Blair House (by Pivotal). Dam, maiden, (stayed 9f) sister to high-class winner up to 1m Poet's Voice. Trainer won this in 2017. Half-brother to leading yard's 1m1f UAE Group 1 winner Blair House; could have a big say. |
|||
2nd (7)  (7/2 -5%)Lead Artist |
7/2(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lead Artist 7/2, Dubawi colt. Dam French winner up to 1m (Prix de Sandringham winner) out of unraced close relative of US Grade 1 1m/9.5f winner Heat Haze and half-sister to high-class miler Dansili and Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf winners Banks Hill and Intercontinental. Very interesting newcomer. First foal; dam French 1m Group 2 winner; by Dubawi; leading yard; firmly in calculations. |
|||
3rd (4)  (15/2 +25%)Earl Of Rochester |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Earl Of Rochester 15/2, Dubawi colt. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner), won Lancashire Oaks/Prix Allez France. Stable has won this twice in recent years. Dam won 1m4f Lancashire Oaks; one of two for top yard; by Dubawi and could go well. |
|||
4th (8)  (3/1 +33%)Padesha |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Padesha 3/1, €300,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Sparkling Beauty. Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 6.5f Titus Livius and useful winner up to 1m Briseida. Holds Group 1 entries. 300,000euros yearling; trainer can ready one first time; big-race entries; interesting. |
|||
5th (6)  (16/1 -220%)Gilded Water |
16/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gilded Water 16/1, Fastnet Rock gelding. Closely related to 2-y-o 7f winner Flarepath and half-brother to smart 7f-9f winner Evening Sun and useful winner up to 13f Circle of Fire. Dam 1½m winner. Yard won this in 2016. In excellent hands and has an attractive pedigree; he's one to consider. |
|||
6th (3)  (13/2 +59%)Cavalry Call |
13/2(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cavalry Call 13/2, €45,000 foal, 77,000 gns yearling, Invincible Army gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Album. Dam 5f winner out of 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 1m) Raindancing. 77,000gns yearling; should have a future but others are more compelling on paper. |
|||
7th (2)  (66/1 -313%)A Major Payne |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) A Major Payne 66/1, 26,000 gns foal, 92,000 gns yearling, Harry Angel colt. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1m Morning Post and 2-y-o 6f/6.5f winner Spright, both useful. Dam maiden (raced only at 1m). Half-brother to six winners but he may be one for further down the line. |
|||
8th (10)  (17/2 -31%)Sanat |
17/2(-31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sanat 17/2, 220,000 gns yearling, Invincible Spirit colt. Closely related to 1m winner Whispering Romance and half-brother to 5f winner Almaty Star. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to very smart performers Scottish (stayed 1½m) and Royal Empire (won up to 13.3f). Stable won this in 2019. 220,000gns yearling; with a strong yard and he's on the shortlist. |
|||
9th (11)  (28/1 -75%)Time To Rule |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Time To Rule 28/1, Time Test colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Crypto Force. Dam 9f winner. If taking after his brother (1m 2yo Group 2 winner Crypto Force) he's a player. |
|||
10th (1)  (125/1 -150%)Alrobe |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alrobe 125/1, 72,000 gns foal, 220,000 gns yearling, 3,400 gns 3-y-o, Starspangledbanner gelding. Brother to 5f-7f winner Parting Glass and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Special Season. Dam 5.5f winner. Sales price dropped markedly earlier this year and others preferred. 72,000gns foal, 220,000gns yearling, 3,400gns 3yo; may be best watched. |
|||
11th (13)  (80/1 -100%)Lovemeforareason |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Lovemeforareason 80/1, 25,000 gns yearling, resold 38,000 gns yearling, Teofilo filly. Closely related to useful 1¼m winner Asiaaf and half-sister to 1m-11.2f winner Jureer. Dam, maiden, sister to high-class Hong Kong performer up to 1¼m Dan Excel out of half-sister to Oaks winner Love Divine. Yard won this in 2013. 38,000gns yearling; one of two fillies for yard; it may be best to look elsewhere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Dubawi colt LEAD ARTIST is the first foal of French 1m Group 2 winner Obligate and he earns the vote ahead of First Conquest.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (13)  (33/1 +18%)Washington Heights |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Washington Heights 33/1, Strong-travelling sort who acquitted himself well in a number of valuable, highly competitive handicaps in 2023. Easy winner of a listed event in Sweden on final start of that campaign and likely to pay his way again this season but he looks vulnerable elevated to Group company here. Listed winner in Sweden last time out; bottom of this pack on ratings. |
|||
2nd (4)  (6/1 +33%)Mill Stream |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mill Stream 6/1, Fine efforts when twice placed in valuable big-field handicaps last summer before winning back-to-back races in France (beat Garrus in a Group 3 contest on latter occasion). Struggled in Group 1s final 2 starts of 2023 but possibilities with sights lowered here on the back of a wind op. May still have further progress in him; interesting back down in class. |
|||
3rd (10)  (15/2 +12%)Spycatcher |
15/2(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Spycatcher 15/2, Developed into a smart sprinter last season, winner of a Group 3 at Deauville in July prior to going close in the Maurice De Gheest there the following month. Another solid effort when third in the Champions Sprint at Ascot when last seen in October and he has to enter calculations. Has smart form; clear possibilities granted ideal ground (best on soft). |
|||
4th (5)  (25/1 -79%)Mitbaahy |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mitbaahy 25/1, Big improver in 2022 and signed off light campaign last season with a career-best display to land a 6-runner listed race at Chester (6f, heavy), on what was his final run for Roger Varian. Helps give his new yard a good hand here (also represented by Garrus) but another personal best will be needed. Listed winner on final start for Roger Varian; something to prove over a stiff 6f. |
|||
5th (12)  (14/1 -27%)Tiber Flow |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Tiber Flow 14/1, Wasn't beaten far when fourth in this race on his reappearance last term and gained breakthrough in Group company when edging out Spycatcher in the Chipchase at Newcastle in July. Lost no caste in defeat when third at Sandown later that month but entitled to come on for this following 9 months off. Return to 6f is ideal but he is more productive on AW; only 1-7 on turf. |
|||
6th (6)  (28/1 -56%)Popmaster |
28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Popmaster 28/1, Back on the scoresheet at Ascot last summer and in fine form in the second half of 2023 campaign, twice going close in valuable handicaps at that Berkshire venue either side of a 7f listed success at Newbury. However, his record when fresh in recent seasons is off-putting. Better than ever in 7f races the last twice; not crying out for return to 6f. |
|||
7th (14)  (16/1 -14%)Makarova |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Makarova 16/1, Landed a listed contest at Ayr last summer and held her own when sixth in the Nunthorpe at York and the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp in October. Booking of William Buick an obvious plus but improvement will be needed if she's to emerge on top here. Useful and consistent filly; drops back in class; likely to go well. |
|||
8th (1)  (11/1 -69%)Commanche Falls |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Commanche Falls 11/1, Dual Stewards' Cup winner who made his mark outside of handicaps last season, winning 3 times in listed/Group 3 company and also made the frame on several occasions, including when going close in this race 12 months ago. Looks rock-solid and should be involved in the finish if fully tuned-up. Close second in this race 12 months ago; consistent afterwards; solid claims. |
|||
9th (11)  (33/1 +18%)Streets Of Gold |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Streets Of Gold 33/1, Unbeaten in 5 starts as a 2-y-o and posted his best effort last season when third of 15 in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm). However, he wasn't in the same form in 2 subsequent appearances and is opposable here on the back of a 7-month absence. Exposed now and faces a difficult task on seasonal debut. |
|||
10th (9)  (3/1 +25%)Shouldvebeenaring |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Shouldvebeenaring 3/1, In good form here last spring, third in a C&D handicap on this card 12 months ago prior to landing the King Charles II Stakes over 7f at the Guineas meeting. Ended last season with fine efforts in Group 1 company and big chance back here following an encouraging reappearance on the AW last month. Tough colt who has Group 1 form; major contender with AW reappearance under his belt. |
|||
11th (7)  (10/1 +0%)Run To Freedom |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Run To Freedom 10/1, Listed winner at Salisbury last May and better than ever when finding only Shaquille too strong in the July Cup during the summer. Ground was perhaps softer than ideal when fifth in the Champions Sprint at Ascot on final run of 2023 and, with conditions more suitable here, he's one to consider. Twice runner-up at Group 1 level; leading player on ratings, back down in grade. |
|||
12th (8)  (25/1 -39%)Saint Lawrence |
25/1(-39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Saint Lawrence 25/1, Snapped losing sequence following yard switch/refitted with blinkers when landing the Wokingham at Royal Ascot last summer. More than backed that up when third in Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest next time but safely held both subsequent starts and he was only sixth in this race last year. Finished behind several of these rivals the last twice; not the percentage call. |
|||
13th (3)  (5/1 +23%)Marshman |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Marshman 5/1, Made a winning reappearance in a 5.5f Chantilly Group 3 last season and positive start to the present campaign, too, when going down narrowly with a tongue strap added in the Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster (6f, heavy). That headgear is retained with the addition of a first-time hood here. Should build on Doncaster reappearance effort, with fitting of hood a likely plus. |
|||
14th (2)  (14/1 -56%)Garrus |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Garrus 14/1, Smart gelding who narrowly outpointed Commanche Falls in this race last year having just been touched off himself in the 2022 renewal. Well behind Commanche Falls at Ascot on final start of last season but will be a threat if on-song reunited with Ryan Moore here (record under Moore reads 11240114). Won this contest last year; now an 8yo in a deeper renewal but can't be dismissed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
First choice is MARSHMAN, ahead of Shouldvebeenaring and Mill Stream in a competitive Abernant.

1st (5)  (17/2 +39%)Haatem |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Haatem 17/2, Group 2 winner at 2 but his form was no better than useful and he finished 4 lengths behind the reopposing Eben Shaddad when fifth in the Dewhurst on final start. Others are preferred. Won Goodwood Group 2 last August; fifth in the Dewhurst when last seen; improvement needed. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/3 +26%)Eben Shaddad |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Eben Shaddad 10/3, Impressive debut winner on July Course and placed in the Tattersalls and Dewhurst over 7f here in the autumn. Smart effort when 4½ lengths third of 8 to City of Troy latterly and that sets the standard here. Hooded first-time on return. Third in Group 1 Dewhurst here last October when last seen and he's a major player. |
|||
3rd (7)  (28/1 -75%)Sons And Lovers |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sons And Lovers 28/1, Sprung a 33/1 surprise on his 7f course debut in October, overcoming greenness to lead close home (plenty of winners in behind). Looks sure to improve but this is a big ask. Won maiden here last October on sole start; needs big step forward today but it's possible. |
|||
4th (2)  (5/1 +41%)Cambridge |
5/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cambridge 5/1, Dubawi colt who confirmed debut promise in determined fashion when landing 12-runner Salisbury novice (1m) in September. Very useful effort when 4¼ lengths second to stablemate in Leopardstown Group 3 the following month. Likely capable of better again. Group 3 runner-up (albeit beaten about 4l) last October; open to improvement. |
|||
5th (6)  (4/1 -190%)Native Approach |
4/1(-190%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Native Approach 4/1, Built on his promising 7f Kempton debut when readily going one better over 1m there 3 weeks later. Has the potential for significant improvement for a top stable which does well in this race. AW maiden winner; trainer has won three of the last five runnings; could have a big say. |
|||
6th (1)  (2/1 +40%)Alcantor |
2/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alcantor 2/1, Smart 3-time winner in France, notably a 1m Group 3 at Saint-Cloud. Good ½-length second of 7 to Sunway in Criterium International there (1m again) final start. Yard's British runners always merit respect. French raider; went close in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud last October; a leading form contender. |
|||
7th (3)  (22/1 +12%)Champagne Prince |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Champagne Prince 22/1, Looked a useful prospect when winning a pair of 7f AW novices in 2023. More to come but he'll need a big chunk of improvement to stretch his unbeaten record to 3. Steep rise in grade today but impressed when winning both starts (AW) and not discounted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Preference is for French challenger ALCANTOR, who was runner-up in the Group 1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud when last seen.

1st (6)  (9/2 +18%)Rolica |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rolica 9/2, 320,000 gns purchase who is bred to be useful and she offered something to work on when third in a back-end maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in October, conditions just finding her out late on. Looks sure to do better this term. 320,000gns yearling; showed ability at Nottingham; two Group 1 entries; interesting. |
|||
2nd (8)  (9/4 +36%)Vicario |
9/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Vicario 9/4, Lope De Vega filly who was much better for her debut when second in a C&D maiden in October and similar form back from 5 months off when runner-up at Chelmsford (7f) 5 weeks ago. Tongue tie fitted now and she could yet do better again. Clear second at this course and Chelmsford the last twice; leading contender. |
|||
3rd (2)  (15/2 +17%)Looking For Queen |
15/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Looking For Queen 15/2, Churchill filly who progressed with each start as a 2-y-o, well suited by the step up in trip when second of 11 in maiden at Doncaster (7f) in September. That may not prove her limit. Absent since running well in similar event at Doncaster in September (third start). |
|||
4th (3)  (40/1 -60%)Lyraisa |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lyraisa 40/1, 95,000 gns yearling, Masar filly. Easy to back and she could only run to a modest level when sixth of 8 in novice at Lingfield (7f, AW) in October. This should reveal more but good deal of improvement needed if she's to figure on return. Needs to improve a good deal on sole 2yo effort. |
|||
5th (5)  (9/1 -80%)Painite |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Painite 9/1, £120,000 2-y-o, Eqtidaar filly. Half-sister to 3 winners. Runner-up both starts for Richard Hannon last June, her winning chance seemingly spoiled by the flag start at Windsor (6f, good to soft) latterly. Up in trip for return (dam 1¼m winner). Remains with potential. Fair form over sprint trips last June; new yard; the market signals should be heeded.. |
|||
6th (4)  (10/1 -150%)Miss Kubelik |
10/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Miss Kubelik 10/1, Holy Roman Emperor filly who shaped with distinct promise having been caught further back than ideal in a steadily-run race when second in a Southwell novice (7f) back in November. Another sure-fire improver for her top yard and one for the shortlist here. Promising second at Southwell on sole 2yo run; similar type to stablemate Izipizi. |
|||
7th (1)  (9/4 +0%)Izipizi |
9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Izipizi 9/4, Kingman filly who makes a good deal of appeal on paper and promising start when second of 13 in maiden at Kempton (1m) in December, better placed than most but keeping on for hands-and-heels riding. Entitled to have learned from that and sure to improve for top yard. Promising second at Kempton four months ago; 1,000 Guineas entry; major player. |
|||
8th (9)  (50/1 -52%)Yellow Lemons |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Yellow Lemons 50/1, €100,000 purchase as a juvenile but she didn't show any immediate promise when finishing seventh of 8 in a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) on debut in October. That experience ought not to have been wasted on her but she's probably best watched on return to action. Needs to take a big step forward on reappearance. |
|||
9th (7)  (200/1 -100%)Two B Tanned |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Two B Tanned 200/1, Saddler's Rock filly. 40/1, looked green when sixth of 7 in a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) in February. Hood goes on and she's one for later on. Has plenty to find on her debut effort; now wears a hood. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
This race features an interesting clash between 1,000 Guineas entries ROLICA and Izipizi, preferred in that order.

(5)  (66/1 -230%)Liam Swagger |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Liam Swagger 66/1, Last of 5 in novice event at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 21 days ago, not much room so better than the result. Up in trip. May well do better but this is a tough ask. Promise at Southwell (1m, AW) three weeks ago but most of the others have shown more. |
|||
1st (1)  (Evens +20%)Endless Victory |
Evens(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Endless Victory Evens, Looked a top prospect when winning 5-runner novice event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut 66 days ago, storming clear. Difficult to oppose with promise of plenty more to come. Looks to have a bright future after his novice win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February. |
|||
2nd (7)  (12/1 +0%)Salamanca |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Salamanca 12/1, Bred to be sharp and shaped with plenty of encouragement when second of 7 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) on debut in October. Should derive plenty from that but this asks a lot. Second favourite, 2nd of 7 for Nottingham maiden (1m, heavy) in October after slow start. |
|||
3rd (4)  (12/1 -118%)High Order |
12/1(-118%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) High Order 12/1, Frankel colt who finished second of 6 in novice event at Newcastle (8f) on debut. Off 124 days. Up in trip. Should improve but this is a warm race. Promising; form chance after finishing on heels of the odds-on favourite at Newcastle (1m). |
|||
4th (2)  (5/1 +9%)Kalidasa |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kalidasa 5/1, Highly-promising type. Heavily backed prior to winning 11-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut, comfortably. Off 97 days. Should significantly improve on bare form for leading connections with this trip sure to suit. 2,800,000gns yearling; 1-3 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and dismissed weak opposition. |
|||
5th (3)  (3/1 -9%)Meydaan |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Meydaan 3/1, Perfect start when winning 7-runner maiden at Newcastle (10.2f) on debut, readily overcoming a small gallop. Scope to improve a lot this year so demands respect. 2-1, won Newcastle maiden (1m2f, AW) November, travelling best and going on by nearly 2l. |
|||
6th (6)  (40/1 -21%)Prince Iago |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Prince Iago 40/1, Starspangledbanner colt. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner, closely related to smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Rougemont. This is a very tough starting point. First foal; by Starspangledbanner out of 1m2f/1m4f winner (RPR 89); probably stiff task. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Charlie Appleby can continue his fine record in this race with a win from ENDLESS VICTORY over Meydaan.

1st (4)  (10/3 +26%)Poet Master |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Poet Master 10/3, Made it 3 wins from only 4 starts when comfortable winner of a 7f handicap at the Doncaster St Leger meeting in September. The handicapper hasn't missed him with an 8 lb rise but surprise if this lightly-raced sort doesn't have more to offer. Made debut last summer and has won three of his four starts; could be one to follow. |
|||
2nd (7)  (12/1 +0%)Percy's Lad |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Percy's Lad 12/1, Winless last season but signed off for the campaign with a decent third in an 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Frame claims, but others strike as likelier winners from unchanged mark. Some good runs in defeat last year and now off last winning mark; goes well fresh. |
|||
3rd (5)  (10/1 -11%)Misty Grey |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Misty Grey 10/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022 but has been rejuvenated by a stable switch to David O'Meara, sticking to his task when second of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly. Arrives in good heart having been runner-up on AW the last twice; might not be far away. |
|||
4th (6)  (20/1 +20%)Gorak |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gorak 20/1, Dual winner in the first half of last season but played only a minor role in better-quality handicaps later in the year and still doesn't look particularly well treated. Hit hard by handicapper after Group 3 4th last June; remains 14lb above last winning mark. |
|||
5th (2)  (12/1 -33%)Northern Express |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Northern Express 12/1, Smart and consistent sort landed the Thirsk Hunt Cup and a decent 7f handicap at York last year. Good second off this mark at York when last seen in October and has a sound record fresh, so merits plenty of respect. Won twice last year and this consistent sort could be bang there once more. |
|||
6th (8)  (12/1 -71%)Suviana |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Suviana 12/1, Useful form when winning 3 times in France last season, including in a 5-runner minor event at Deauville (7f, good to soft) when last seen in August. Rare handicap runner on these shores for top yard rates as a very interesting player. Progressive in France last year and this lightly raced 4yo could be on a good mark. |
|||
7th (1)  (12/1 +0%)Biggles |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Biggles 12/1, Second in Victoria Cup last spring and took his form up another notch when landing the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket in July. Ended last season in muted fashion, though, and he's probably best watched having since left Ralph Beckett. Below-par end to last season but has good reappearance record; makes stable debut. |
|||
8th (10)  (28/1 -27%)Havana Blue |
28/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Havana Blue 28/1, Opened his account in a C&D 7f handicap last May and before following up in good style on the July Course the following month. Held valid excuses when down the field on his final 2 outings last year and he's worth a betting check having since left Clive Cox for 58,000 gns (also gelded). Disappointing end to last season but looked one to follow previously; gelded/changed hands. |
|||
9th (3)  (25/1 -39%)Carrytheone |
25/1(-39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Carrytheone 25/1, Placed 3 times last season for John Patrick Murtagh, including when third in Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown (1¼ lengths behind Ocean Jewel). Ended the year with a creditable sixth in a big-field Leopardstown handicap but a little bit more is likely needed to defy this mark on yard debut. Hasn't won since 2021 but on a competitive mark and new trainer is among the winners. |
|||
10th (13)  (8/1 -78%)Pearle D'or |
8/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Pearle D'or 8/1, Progressive in the second half of last season, scoring at Ascot in July before doubling his tally for the yard when scoring at Newbury in taking fashion. Arguably shaped best when leading home the unfavoured group at Ascot on final outing and he's very much the type to improve again this year. Last campaign concluded with fine third at Ascot; leading player if fully tuned up. |
|||
11th (14)  (14/1 +0%)Love De Vega |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Love De Vega 14/1, In good form on all-weather this winter, winning twice over 7f at Chelmsford. Shaped as if still in form (met trouble) when seventh of 13 at Newcastle (7f) latest. Equally as effective on turf and he's not ruled out. Two AW wins this year; below best latest but this four-time turf winner is not ruled out. |
|||
12th (12)  (28/1 -133%)Persuasion |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Persuasion 28/1, Solid on the whole last campaign, edging down to a career-low mark before winning at Thirsk in September. Reportedly bled when beaten favourite in a Doncaster handicap when last seen and he'll probably need a couple to underperform if he's to make a winning return from a 7-month absence. Solid campaign last year; has improved for comeback run in each of the last two seasons. |
|||
13th (11)  (12/1 +33%)Farhh To Shy |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Farhh To Shy 12/1, Useful mare who scored over 1m at Ascot (soft) and 7f at Yarmouth last summer. Ended her 2023 campaign with good thirds at Ascot (handicap/listed) and very much shaped as if needing the run when down the field in the Lincoln on return. Others make more appeal on balance. Down the field in the Lincoln but may have needed it; each-way shout on last year's best. |
|||
14th (9)  (7/1 +30%)Catch The Paddy |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Catch The Paddy 7/1, Progressive for the bulk of last season, getting off the mark when meeting his elders for the first time in C&D handicap in September. Looked a shade tricky when down the field at Kempton last time but overall profile is positive enough to think he's worth another chance. Won over C&D last September on sole course visit; not ruled out on reappearance. |
|||
|PU| (15)  (16/1 -14%)Security Code |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Security Code 16/1, Raced only 3 times to date, making a winning debut at Wolverhampton in 2021. Off another 10 months before pulling his chance away at Lingfield last February. Has since been gelded and left John & Thady Gosden. Betting can prove a guide. Absent since disappointing in February 2023, but very lightly raced and no forlorn hope. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Preference is for POET MASTER, who has won three of his four starts and could be better than a handicapper. Suviana is a danger.

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.
