4.5/1(+18%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Maylandsea 4.5/1, Cost 100,000 gns at the breeze-ups and is a half-sister to 5f/6f winner Laubali and 2-y-o 5f winner Different Face. Dam 5f winner. Certainly bred to be sharp and needs keeping a close eye on in the market. | |||
2nd (3)  (28/1 -100%)Keep Bidding |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Keep Bidding 28/1, Foaled February 12. 46,000 gns Ribchester filly. Dam 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). One to note on debut for respected stable. | |||
3rd (9)  (250/1 -150%)Sugar Hill Babe |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sugar Hill Babe 250/1, Foaled April 28. €18,000 Bungle Inthejungle half-sister to 3 winners, including 7f winner Karlsberg and 5f winner Brandy Station. Certainly bred to have a future but likely best watched on this occasion. | |||
4th (4)  (1.75/1 -17%)Lady Hollywood |
1.75/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lady Hollywood 1.75/1, Half-sister to several winners and should be winning soon herself based on her close second on 5f Catterick debut 13 days ago. The one to beat under William Buick. | |||
5th (8)  (6.5/1 -8%)Radio Goo Goo |
6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Radio Goo Goo 6.5/1, Fair form when reaching the frame on all 3 starts. No reason why she won't give her running again but vulnerable to anything with potential. | |||

2.25/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Immortal Beauty 2.25/1, 130,000 gns Cotai Glory half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 7f winner Mehmento. 11/4, showed plenty to work on when third of 5 on 5f Ascot debut 16 days ago. Open to improvement and bold show likely. | |||
7th (5)  (12/1 -9%)Love Affairs |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Love Affairs 12/1, Foaled January 22. Showcasing half-sister to 7f winners Arabic Charm and Lord Lovelace. Stable has a useful juvenile under its care in Katey Kontent so a market move for this one would be interesting. | |||
8th (1)  (14/1 -17%)Adjani |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Adjani 14/1, 4/1, showed a bit when just under 8 lengths third of 7 on 5f Kempton debut 18 days ago. Should progress. | |||
9th (7)  (250/1 -279%)Miami Bay |
250/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Miami Bay 250/1, In good hands but hasn't beaten a rival in 2 starts. |

0.33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Secret State 0.33/1, Bred to be very good and confirmed debut promise when easy winner of Chester maiden, storming clear. Looks a smart prospect so taken to defy a penalty. | |||
2nd (1)  (14/1 -100%)Laasudood |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Laasudood 14/1, Promising individual from good Shadwell family. Confirmed debut promise when winning Kempton maiden with a bit to spare in October. Extra 1f will suit so must be respected under a penalty for new yard. | |||

14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) La Yakel 14/1, 28,000 gns foal, 120,000 gns yearling, Time Test gelding.

Dam, 9.5f/1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Albert Hall. Shaped like more of a long-term prospect when tenth of 13 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good, 50/1) on debut 39 days ago. | |||
5th (8)  (4.5/1 +50%)First Officer |
4.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) First Officer 4.5/1, Eye-catching debut when third of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) in October, nearest finish. Disappointed at Kempton following month but worth another chance. | |||

50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Reine Du Bal 50/1, All the better for debut when runner-up to the now-useful Notre Belle Beteat Lingfield in February, clear of rest. No surprise if she were to feature. | |||
8th (7)  (200/1 -150%)Daaris |
200/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Daaris 200/1, 14,000 gns 3-y-o, Dawn Approach gelding. Closely related to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Tamreer. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1¼m. | |||

1st (5)  (5.5/1 +66%)Billy McGarry |
5.5/1(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Billy McGarry 5.5/1, Yet to show anything more than poor form, so no great surprise that connections have already reached for blinkers. May struggle again. | |||
2nd (12)  (8.5/1 +58%)By Pass |
8.5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) By Pass 8.5/1, Limited maiden who needs a visor to spark some life into her. Others preferred. | |||
3rd (9)  (6/1 +14%)Henery Hawk |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Henery Hawk 6/1, Modest maiden who made a disappointing return to turf at Thirsk last time. Up in trip with Buick booked, but needs more. | |||
4th (1)  (12/1 -71%)Ciao Adios |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ciao Adios 12/1, Yet to show much but she could make a bigger impact now up in trip/handicapping. | |||
5th (8)  (2.75/1 +8%)Fast Danseuse |
2.75/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fast Danseuse 2.75/1, Maiden bred to do better and shaped encouragingly (met trouble) when fifth at Windsor in April. Likely to do better still and makes plenty of appeal in this company. | |||
6th (11)  (10/1 +0%)My Rosa's Gold |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) My Rosa's Gold 10/1, Maiden who appeared to up her game when fourth at Bath 11 days ago, but it's hard to know if she'll back it up. | |||
7th (2)  (11/1 -22%)Nemorum |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Nemorum 11/1, Back on track under a patient ride after 6 months off (also gelded) when third of 8 in handicap at Kempton on return and, while he failed to back it up, he can't be fully dismissed back on turf in a thin race. | |||
8th (6)  (40/1 -60%)Caramello |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Caramello 40/1, Yet to make an impact but has had a break prior to this handicap/turf debut, so there's a chance she shows a bit more. | |||
9th (7)  (16/1 +11%)Capall Mear |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Capall Mear 16/1, Poor maiden who was fourth in a seller at Thirsk last time but, on the whole, is hard to fancy back up in trip. | |||
10th (14)  (100/1 -52%)Spirit Of The Age |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Spirit Of The Age 100/1, Yet to show any ability. | |||
11th (13)  (66/1 -65%)Times Two |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Times Two 66/1, No sign of promise in 3 starts to date. | |||
12th (3)  (4/1 -7%)Dansemai |
4/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dansemai 4/1, Unexposed and recorded a promising handicap debut when third at Southwell last month. Shapes as if this longer trip will suit, so should make her presence felt. |

1st (4)  (3/1 -33%)Dark Shift |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dark Shift 3/1, Ended 2021 on the up and can have a line put through his reappearance effort having ended up well away from where the action unfolded at Ascot 15 days ago. Sort to go on again this term, so he merits consideration. | |||
2nd (3)  (1.38/1 +59%)Dubai Mirage |
1.38/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dubai Mirage 1.38/1, Reliable proposition in Meydan earlier this year, signing off when runner-up in a big-field handicap 3 months ago. Looked temperamental on these shores last year (carried head awkwardly) but his yard couldn't be in much better order at present. | |||
3rd (5)  (28/1 -56%)Baldomero |
28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Baldomero 28/1, Took his form up a notch for new connections when winning over 1m2f at Kempton in March but well held returned to turf (good to firm ground) twice since and bit to prove here. | |||
4th (2)  (4.5/1 -50%)Caradoc |
4.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Caradoc 4.5/1, Ran to a similar level as on reappearance when finishing runner-up at Goodwood just over 3 weeks ago, the only one to get near a progressive one at the top of his game. Respected back in trip. | |||
5th (1)  (6/1 +8%)Dubai Icon |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dubai Icon 6/1, Bolted up at Meydan in January but badly disappointed on all 3 subsequent starts at that track, 16 lengths ninth of 16 in Group 2 on final start a couple of months ago. 1 of 2 for yard in fine form and usual headgear left off on return to handicap company (C&D winner). | |||
6th (6)  (14/1 -75%)Austrian Theory |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Austrian Theory 14/1, Useful performer who returned with a solid third in a listed event at Newmarket but has failed to beat a rival on both subsequent starts. Makes handicap debut today and sole 3-y-o in the line-up would be folly to dismiss down in grade. |

1st (8)  (11/1 -22%)Fifteenthamendment |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fifteenthamendment 11/1, Showed promise in a couple of starts as a 2-y-o and arrives here having ran best race to date when second in a Wolverhampton novice (8.6f) last month, staying on. Longer trip should suit now handicapping and not discounted. | |||
2nd (2)  (3/1 +0%)Australian Harbour |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Australian Harbour 3/1, Australia colt who has showed promise in maiden/novice company, running best race yet when keeping on for third over 8.3f here last month. Remains with potential intact now handicapping/upped in trip. Respected. | |||
3rd (9)  (3.33/1 +33%)Shivraj |
3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Shivraj 3.33/1, Low-mileage sort who, on the back of being gelded showed improved form when going down narrowly on return/handicap debut at Hamilton (8.3f) 3 weeks ago, edged out post. Remains type to do better and possibilities up in trip. | |||
4th (4)  (4.5/1 +18%)Gangway |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gangway 4.5/1, Typical improving 3-y-o handicapper for this yard, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts when making all at Lingfield (10f, AW) 12 days ago. No surprise to see him go well again from 6 lb higher. | |||
5th (6)  (11/1 +31%)Murphy's Dream |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Murphy's Dream 11/1, Showed improved form to open account in 7f Kempton maiden in January. Not seen to best effect when seventh of 11 on handicap debut here (8.3f) sole start since 2 weeks ago and likely he can do better still. Upped in trip. | |||
6th (7)  (12/1 +0%)Playday |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Playday 12/1, Frankel filly who improved plenty from her debut effort when second in a Lingfield novice (1m) in December. Proved to be a disappointment at Wolverhampton later that month but she's in good hands and longer trip promises to suit now handicapping on return. | |||
7th (1)  (6/1 -80%)Sid's Annie |
6/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sid's Annie 6/1, Low-mileage filly who improved plenty for the switch to handicaps on AW, off the mark at Kempton (1m) prior to following up in good style at Southwell (1m) in February. Interesting now upped in trip on turf debut. | |||
8th (3)  (7.5/1 +12%)Kaasirr |
7.5/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kaasirr 7.5/1, Fair maiden who wasn't beaten far in a first-time visor when fifth in Southwell maiden (1m) in April but he was disappointing on handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f) next time and comes here with a bit to prove. Visor left off now upped in trip. |

1st (5)  (1.88/1 +16%)Four Adaay |
1.88/1(+16%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Four Adaay 1.88/1, Likeable type who has returned in good heart, finding only a thriving sort too strong when runner-up in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. No reason why she won't be firmly in the mix once more. | |||
2nd (2)  (3.5/1 +36%)Abate |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Abate 3.5/1, Successful over C&D last July and followed up at Newmarket later that month. Revised mark proved a stumbling block thereafter but better signs following his comeback run when fourth at Thirsk (5f) 3 weeks ago. Good showing anticipated. | |||
3rd (8)  (33/1 -136%)Grandfather Tom |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Grandfather Tom 33/1, Justified good support when defying a 2 lb lower mark at Wolverhampton (5f) in November, making all. Probably best not judged too harshly on his latest run there but this is a tougher assignment back on turf. | |||
4th (3)  (3.5/1 -27%)Lihou |
3.5/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lihou 3.5/1, Consistent sprinter for all he hasn't tasted success for a while and he wasn't disgraced when fourth of 10 in a stronger contest at Goodwood (5f) in April. This more suitable and booking of Buick a plus. | |||
5th (6)  (4/1 +33%)I'm Mable |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) I'm Mable 4/1, C&D winner who got back on the up when landing 8-runner Chelmsford handicap (5f) in April. May have found race coming too soon at Windsor 10 days later but revised mark demands that little bit more in any case. | |||
6th (1)  (25/1 -213%)Peerless |
25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Peerless 25/1, Landed pair of 5f handicaps last year (including over C&D) and ended campaign with solid runner-up efforts. Below par in trio of starts at Sakhir (Bahrain) for new yard earlier this year so interesting what the market makes of him returned to these shores. | |||
7th (7)  (14/1 +13%)Show Me A Sunset |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Show Me A Sunset 14/1, Enjoyed a productive spell on AW this winter, adding to his tally at Southwell (5f) in December. However, been below best in 3 starts since the turn of the year and others make greater appeal back on turf. |

1st (2)  (1.25/1 +50%)Blistering Barney |
1.25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blistering Barney 1.25/1, Dual winner at up to 12f last season who arrives in good order, running up to best when runner-up at Thirsk (14f) 22 days ago, finding only an improver too strong. Can figure with a repeat for all he's operating 4 lb above last winning mark. | |||
2nd (5)  (12/1 +0%)Red Derek |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Red Derek 12/1, Boasts just the one win from 29 starts and whilst he ended last season with a respectable second at Redcar (14f) in November, he's not returned in anything like the same form in a couple of starts this spring. | |||
3rd (6)  (4/1 -45%)Lednikov |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lednikov 4/1, Little to shout about first 4 starts for present yard but put that right upped in trip when scoring at Musselburgh (12.5f) in April, well served by positive tactics. That race has produced winners and he's well worth a look from just 1 lb higher. | |||
4th (3)  (2.5/1 +58%)Bamboo Bay |
2.5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bamboo Bay 2.5/1, Won a Roscommon handicap over 12f for Joseph O'Brien last summer. Fair form on the first of 2 outings over hurdles for new yard thereafter and seemingly regaining full fitness in a couple of Flat starts in recent weeks. Steps up in trip now. | |||
5th (1)  (9/1 -29%)Keep It Brief |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Keep It Brief 9/1, Left last season's return in his wake when running out a commanding winner at Kempton 11f) in July. Never figured under either code since though, well beaten over hurdles at Wetherby (19.7f) in January. Booking of Probert does catch the eye on return, however. Had wind op. |

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.
