1st (5)  (3.5/1 -27%)Moondial |
3.5/1(-27%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Moondial 3.5/1, Kempton 7f juvenile winner who arrives in good nick, third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 26 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off the same mark. Best form has been on the AW, but running well this term and still lightly raced on turf. |
|||
2nd (3)  (8/1 +33%)Boom Boom Pow |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Boom Boom Pow 8/1, Last of 5 in handicap (16/5) at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 62 days ago. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Mark Usher with plenty more needed. 11-race maiden and enough to prove starting out for another new stable. |
|||
3rd (8)  (3.33/1 -33%)Penny Be |
3.33/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Penny Be 3.33/1, 18/1, posted her best effort this season when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago, not enjoying a clear run. Can make her presence felt off an easing mark. Only modest but two best efforts have come here; not dismissed entirely. |
|||
4th (4)  (18/1 -13%)Stamford Blue |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Stamford Blue 18/1, 66/1, last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward now. Not built on a mildly promising racecourse debut; others preferred. |
|||
5th (6)  (8/1 +43%)Duisker |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Duisker 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, firm) 5 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Not ruled out back up in distance. Effort here on Tuesday suggests this step back up in trip will suit; considered. |
|||
6th (1)  (6/1 +45%)Giddy Aunt |
6/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Giddy Aunt 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. Out of the frame in all five starts and hard to recommend at present. |
|||
7th (2)  (3.5/1 +22%)Barleybrown |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Barleybrown 3.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in minor event at this course (8f, good, 66/1). Off 8 months. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap debut and may well do better so he's no forlorn hope. Well beaten in three starts last year; gelded and had a wind op since; watch market. |
|||
8th (9)  (50/1 +0%)Bodega Nights |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Bodega Nights 50/1, Blinkered for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 100/1) 17 days ago. It's easy to look elsewhere. Hasn't beaten many in six starts and makes no appeal. |
|||
9th (7)  (20/1 -150%)Desert Swirl |
20/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Desert Swirl 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden, only fourth of 5 in maiden (15/2) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut with work to do. Well held in three starts, but well bred and may show more now handicapping. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The vote goes to MOONDIAL who comes into this in good form on the AW. There isn't enough evidence to suggest she can't act on turf.

1st (1)  (2.5/1 -43%)Under The Twilight |
2.5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Under The Twilight 2.5/1, Course winner. Latest win here in May. 22/1, creditable third of 18 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Should make another bold bid. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.38/1 +50%)Tiger Bay |
1.38/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tiger Bay 1.38/1, Winner at Lingfield in April. 25/1, very good fifth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Player back down in class. | |||
3rd (5)  (10/1 +29%)Gwendolina |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gwendolina 10/1, Winner at Lingfield in January. Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 40/1) 20 days ago. | |||
4th (4)  (16/1 -146%)Another Thought |
16/1(-146%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Another Thought 16/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Lingfield in May. Second of 6 in novice at Lingfield (6f, AW, 11/8) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. More required. | |||
5th (3)  (3.33/1 +5%)Abbadia |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Abbadia 3.33/1, 10/3, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 8 days ago, making all with a bit in hand. Respected back in a handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This hasn't gone to a 3yo since 2016 and 5yo UNDER THE TWILIGHT can prove the answer. Her form since returning to turf is very solid.

1st (1)  (1.38/1 -73%)Alyanaabi |
1.38/1(-73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alyanaabi 1.38/1, Foaled March 3 by Too Darn Hot. Second foal out of unraced half-sister to high-class 1m-1½m winner Mawatheeq and very smart winner up to 1m (1000 Guineas) Ghanaati out of useful winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner) Sarayir. Appealing pedigree and yard having another good campaign. Beautifully bred and stable won this with a newcomer two years ago; market informative. |
|||
2nd (3)  (2/1 +60%)Labalaba |
2/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Labalaba 2/1, Foaled March 31. £210,000 2-y-o, Sioux Nation colt. Dam, ran once in France, out of US Grade 2 9f winner (stayed 1¼m) Sarach. Clearly caught the eye at the Breeze-Ups and got to be respected. Stable has a fine record with 2yos first time out and market support should be heeded. |
|||
3rd (2)  (14/1 +0%)Darroch |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Darroch 14/1, Foaled March 14. 40,000 gns yearling, Time Test colt. Dam 5f-7f winner. Yard in form and can ready one. Stable enjoying a fine season with its 2yos, but others make more appeal on breeding. |
|||
4th (4)  (5.5/1 -22%)Mission To Moon |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mission To Moon 5.5/1, Foaled April 18. €75,000 foal, €160,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 6f/7f winner Empire Line and winner up to 9f Mannix, both useful. Dam ran twice. Makes a fair bit of appeal before market clues. Stable often gets them ready first time and market support would be revealing. |
|||
5th (5)  (6.5/1 -8%)Embody |
6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Embody 6.5/1, Foaled February 25. Acclamation filly. Sister to very smart winner up to 1m Expert Eye and winner up to 9f Invigilate. Dam French 2-y-o 1m winner. Solid credentials on paper for top connections. Lots to like on pedigree and stable can get them ready first time; watch market. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Narrow preference is for ALYANAABI who is beautifully bred and whose stable won this with a newcomer in 2021

1st (7)  (3/1 +14%)Redredrobin |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Redredrobin 3/1, C&D winner in May. 2 wins from 4 runs this year, latest at Bath. 5/2, proved better than ever when second of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 8 days ago, sticking to task. Can make presence felt. In fine form lately including a C&D win; high on the list provided ground remains quick. |
|||
2nd (3)  (7/1 -56%)The Cruising Lord |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Cruising Lord 7/1, 10/1, proved retains at least a fair level of ability on first outing since leaving Simon Hodgson after 14 months off when third of 7 in handicap at Newbury (6f, firm) 11 days ago. Task is now to build on that effort. Third on stable debut after long absence 11 days ago; claims if this doesn't come too soon. |
|||
3rd (2)  (4/1 +20%)Strike |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Strike 4/1, Fared no better than on his reappearance when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newbury (6f, firm, 10/1) 3 days ago, not quicken final 1f. More needed to feature. Only 1-16 and needs to better his two efforts since returning in April. |
|||
4th (6)  (5/1 -25%)Musical Mystery |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Musical Mystery 5/1, 16/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ran well when second of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he's one to bear in mind. 0-11, but a close second on recent Doncaster return and holds solid claims; blinkers on. |
|||
5th (8)  (10/1 +38%)Gilt Edge |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gilt Edge 10/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 9/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good) 12 days ago, merely plugging on after outpaced soon after halfway. Easy to look elsewhere. Losing run is mounting up and efforts since returning don't suggest she is about to end it. |
|||
6th (4)  (50/1 -150%)Vaunted |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Vaunted 50/1, Offered little on first outing since leaving Nigel Tinkler after 8 months off when 8½ lengths eighth of 9 to Redredrobin in handicap (22/1) at Bath (5.7f, firm) 23 days ago. Tough to see her involved. Well behind Redredrobin on stable debut at Bath last month; needs good deal of improvement. |
|||
7th (1)  (2.5/1 +29%)Michaels Choice |
2.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Michaels Choice 2.5/1, C&D winner. 13/8, was never travelling 4 weeks on from his reappearance when fourth of 5 in apprentice handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Has usual rider back on board and fancied to be bang there. 2-3 over C&D and has dropped below his last winning mark; high on the list. |
|||
8th (5)  (33/1 -106%)Flip Mode |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Flip Mode 33/1, Enjoyed a fruitful 2021, scoring 4 times. 9/4, was never able to go the pace back down to 5f when ninth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (good to firm) and is probably best watched after nearly 2 years off the track (has had a breathing operation in the interim). Four wins over 5f/6f under Callum Hutchinson in 2021, but not seen in 668 days. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The vote goes to MICHAELS CHOICE (nap) whose record over C&D reads 113 and who is 1lb below his last winning mark.

1st (5)  (1.62/1 +35%)Mistral Star |
1.62/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mistral Star 1.62/1, Bred to be very smart but only ran to similar level as debut when third of 16 in maiden at Newbury (10f, heavy) 58 days ago. Clearly held in high regard (held Oaks entry) and she should still improve. Placed in her first two starts and again shouldn't be far away. |
|||
2nd (4)  (4/1 -33%)Malka |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Malka 4/1, Nathaniel filly. Showed plenty when third of 10 in minor event at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm, 18/1) on debut 22 days ago, very slowly away but keeping on well. Likely to improve significantly. Did well to finish third on her Goodwood debut with plenty going wrong; solid chance. |
|||
3rd (6)  (4/1 -78%)Sea Theme |
4/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sea Theme 4/1, €185,000 yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Donnybrook and useful winner up to 8.2f Sky Angel. Interesting newcomer. Pedigree makes her worthy of respect especially if market positive. |
|||
4th (3)  (2.5/1 +38%)Decoration |
2.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Decoration 2.5/1, Frankel filly. 6/1, fifth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f) on debut, staying on gradually without being not knocked about. Off 7 months. Up in trip. Should progress markedly at 3 yrs. Encouraging debut last autumn and still holds an Irish Oaks entry. |
|||
5th (2)  (28/1 -133%)Cienfuegos |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cienfuegos 28/1, Ulysses filly. Closely related smart winner up to 1½m Highest Ground. Green when tenth of 11 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm, 16/1) on debut 31 days ago. Should do better. Well bred but well held on her C&D debut last month; plenty more needed. |
|||
6th (1)  (50/1 -127%)Bonne Suzette |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bonne Suzette 50/1, Ulysses filly. Closely related to 1½m winner Tomorrow Mystery and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Space Talk and 7f winner Falesia Beach. Not without hope on paper but this is a hot race to make debut in. Faces a stiff-looking task on debut and may be more one for handicaps later on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The choice is MALKA who made an eyecatching debut when third at Goodwood last month with plenty going wrong for her.

1st (1)  (0.73/1 +20%)Dukeman |
0.73/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dukeman 0.73/1, Lightly-raced winner. After 8 months off (gelded), ran well when second of 8 on handicap debut at Redcar (10f, good, 5/2) 20 days ago. Respected with his recent run behind him. Runner-up on his Redcar return; big player, especially if allowed his own way in front. |
|||
2nd (3)  (7.5/1 +0%)Rogue Rocket |
7.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rogue Rocket 7.5/1, Course winner. Looked a bit rusty on return from 7 months off when last of 7 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm, 12/1) 23 days ago. Needs to find more with visor on 1st time. Form regressed after winning here last summer and needs a turnaround; visor on. |
|||
3rd (2)  (1.62/1 +1%)Savrola |
1.62/1(+1%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Savrola 1.62/1, Making first start since leaving Chris Wall after 7 months off, overcame pace bias when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 47 days ago. Capable of following up. Just got up on stable debut at Wolverhampton last time, but this may not pan out so well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This may prove tactical. If allowed his own way in front as when runner-up on his Redcar reappearance, DUKEMAN could take some passing.

(4)  (33/1 -65%)Quizlet |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Quizlet 33/1, First run since leaving Charlie Fellowes when eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good to soft, 80/1) 45 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Out of the frame in all six starts; blinkers on. |
|||
1st (1)  (1.5/1 +8%)Graham |
1.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Graham 1.5/1, Second of 4 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 2/1) 22 days ago. Should go well again. Went close behind an improver over C&D last time and respected off the same mark. |
|||
2nd (3)  (1.1/1 -10%)Gallimimus |
1.1/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gallimimus 1.1/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Leicester in May. Ninth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 5/6) 15 days ago, very slowly away. Can get back on the up if breaking on terms. Dual Leicester winner last month and excuses for latest effort; longer trip no concern. |
|||
3rd (2)  (4/1 +33%)Afloat |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Afloat 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Unplaced in five starts and needs to prove her stamina for the longer trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Preference is for GRAHAM who only found a Sir Mark Prescott-trained handicap newcomer too good over C&D last time.

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.
