Races & Results Thursday 23rd May 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Swift Victory 7/2, Displayed an impressive turn of foot when making second nursery start a winning one in November and encouraging reappearance run when fourth at Kempton (1m) earlier this month, not clear run 1f out and running on. Handy draw to work from back on turf and of interest. Has possibilities provided his AW progress is transferred back to turf.

(10) (15/2 -25%) Berkshire Nugget
7.5
15/2(-25%)
(10) Berkshire Nugget 15/2, Showed much improved form making handicap debut (also gelded) when runner-up on return at Kempton (7f) in April. Couldn't quite repeat that level when third in a Goodwood maiden (1m, soft) since but the return to forecast better ground may help returned to handicaps. Beaten favourite in both outings this term but can't be written off yet.

9
1st (9) (11/1 -10%) Blake
11
11/1(-10%)
(9) Blake 11/1, Zoffany colt. Made the frame on 2 of his 3 starts in novice/maidens and took a step forward granted the run of things when second of 4 in handicap at Doncaster (1m) 3 weeks ago. Likely he needs to pull out more in what rates a stronger affair, however. Form figures of 5332 reflect his steady progress; second at Doncaster latest.
2
5
2nd (5) (5/1 +38%) Ebt's Guard
5
5/1(+38%)
(5) Ebt's Guard 5/1, Made the frame on 3 occasions as a juvenile and returned with an improved display on first try at 1m when third at Kempton 22 days ago, edged out late on having raced freely. That may not prove his limit at this sort of trip. Close third at Kempton on reappearance but record is now 0-8.
3
11
3rd (11) (10/1 -33%) Kindest Nation
10
10/1(-33%)
(11) Kindest Nation 10/1, Sioux Nation filly who built on debut effort when winning 10-runner Southwell maiden (7f) in March and took another step forward when third on handicap debut at Beverley (7.4f) 17 days ago. Promises to be suited by 1m on that evidence and likely she can do better again. Ran well at Beverley last time; steps up in class but she's improving.
4
8
4th (8) (25/1 -108%) Dramatic Effect
25
25/1(-108%)
(8) Dramatic Effect 25/1, Bated Breath filly who made the frame on 2 of 3 starts in 6f maiden/novice events as a 2-y-o. Has stamina on dams' side so likely she can improve now stepped up in trip on return/handicap debut. Market can prove a useful guide. Open to improvement now handicapping and upped in trip.
5th
7
5th (7) (11/4 +39%) Zipster
2.75
11/4(+39%)
(7) Zipster 11/4, Fair form when fifth on qualifying run at Wolverhampton (7f) in November and, having been gelded, he showed further improvement to score readily on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m) 3 weeks ago. Could do with brushing up his starts but likely there's more to come. Won at Yarmouth on turf/handicap debut and looks the type to improve further.
6th
3
6th (3) (16/1 +43%) Dr Foster
16
16/1(+43%)
(3) Dr Foster 16/1, Opened his account at Kempton (1m) in October and found some improvement equipped with blinkers when hitting the frame next 2 starts. Seemingly not 100% when last of 6 at first-named venue (11f) 6 weeks ago but he lacks the potential of one or two here. Headgear discarded. Consistent sort until form dipped the last twice; others preferred.
7th
6
7th (6) (22/1 +0%) Commander Crouch
22
22/1(+0%)
(6) Commander Crouch 22/1, 7f winner for Richard Hannon at 2. Better effort for new yard this year when sixth of 11 over 8.5f at Epsom last month but he never threatened. Eased 2 lb ahead of this. Still needs to prove he has trained on.
8th
4
8th (4) (5/2 +64%) Surveyor
2.5
5/2(+64%)
(4) Surveyor 5/2, Pivotal filly who showed improved form and a good attitude when opening her account on return in a Lingfield maiden (1m) in April. Not seen to best effect on handicap debut at Kempton (1m) since and she remains with potential moving forward. Better than bare result last time; remains open to further progress.
9th
2
9th (2) (9/1 +25%) Get The Music On
9
9/1(+25%)
(2) Get The Music On 9/1, Runner-up on turf first 2 starts prior to making it third time lucky on AW at Kempton (7f) in November. Proved too free when seventh of 8 on return/handicap debut at Newbury (7f) 5 weeks ago but that ought to have taken the freshness out of her and it remains early days. Not fully exposed but doesn't appear to be crying out for this new trip.
18:07 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BERKSHIRE NUGGET seemed all at sea on the downhill drive for home at Goodwood, but may be worth another chance at this more galloping track. The Andrew Balding-trained gelding was well supported in the betting that day and any faithful supporters could be rewarded now he also has experience of the trip. Ebt's Guard rates the chief threat given he comfortably accounted for Swift Victory (fourth) and Surveyor (fifth) when registering a respectable third-placed finish at Kempton on his seasonal bow.
A winner at Kempton on his final start last year, SWIFT VICTORY shaped on his return at that venue 3 weeks ago, the muddling nature of the race not seeing him to anything like best effect. On a workable mark on that evidence, he earns the vote to confirm the promise shown back on turf. Yarmouth-scorer Zipster and Surveyor are others to consider, with Kindest Nation also respected on her first try at 1m.
With her turf form stacking up well, SURVEYOR (nap) looks interesting returned to this sphere. Zipster is second choice.
(4) Sonic Blue 15/2, £60,000 yearling, Blue Point colt. Half-brother to useful 1¼m winner Ermesinde. Dam unraced half-sister to 1m winner Eagle Rise and 9f-2m winner Eye of The Tiger (both smart). Justified support first time up in 4-runner maiden at Doncaster but that was a weak event so needs to step up considerably. Comfortably justified favouritism at Doncaster and looks potentially useful; interesting.
1
6
1st (6) (4/1 +11%) Enchanting Empress
4
4/1(+11%)
(6) Enchanting Empress 4/1, 62,000 gns yearling, Sergei Prokofiev filly. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner, fourth in Cornwallis Stakes. Responded well when making a successful start in 5f Wolverhampton maiden and beat 4 previous winners to follow up in class 2 at Ascot 3 weeks ago, edging out Rock Hunter. Needs considering. Stuck on well to beat Rock Hunter at Ascot, taking record to 2-2; major contender.
2
3
2nd (3) (9/2 +10%) Rock Hunter
4.5
9/2(+10%)
(3) Rock Hunter 9/2, Made a winning start at Chantilly (5f, heavy) and only just edged out by Enchanting Empress in class 2 event at Ascot (5f, good) 22 days ago. Has more to offer still. Won easily at Chantilly then finished only a neck behind Enchanting Empress at Ascot.
3
5
3rd (5) (16/1 +43%) Zminiature
16
16/1(+43%)
(5) Zminiature 16/1, Territories colt. Dam twice-raced half-sister to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Highland Rocker out of useful 7f-1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Cay Dancer. Won a weak renewal of the Brocklesby at Doncaster (heavy) so opposable facing vastly different conditions. Absent since winning a substandard Brocklesby two months ago; the form lacks strength.
4
2
4th (2) (7/1 +30%) Reposado
7
7/1(+30%)
(2) Reposado 7/1, £200,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Trillium and useful 2-y-o 6.5f winner American Kestrel. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Well behind Hawaiian at Newbury on debut but left that well behind when head second at Ascot. More needed again. though. Nearly made all at Ascot last time; bred to make a useful 2yo; should improve further.
5th
7
5th (7) (16/1 +0%) Spirited Dancer
16
16/1(+0%)
(7) Spirited Dancer 16/1, Put experience to good use when 5-length winner of 14-runner maiden at Bath (5.7f, good, 11/1) 8 days ago but more needed again in much stronger event. Striking while the iron's hot, having recorded a 5l win at Bath last week; not ruled out.
6th
1
6th (1) (6/5 +0%) Hawaiian
1.2
6/5(+0%)
(1) Hawaiian 6/5, Kodiac colt. Dam, 7f winner on only start, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Culturati. Justified market confidence when making a winning start in newcomers event at Newbury 5 weeks ago, never in much danger of defeat despite the narrow margin. Sure to go on to better things. Form of Newbury win has substance; Hannon yard has a good record in this race; respected.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
HAWAIIAN was always doing enough to hold on when he was pressed near the finish during his successful debut at Newbury last month and created the impression he has plenty more to give. That was a very professional display and, given the Kodiac colt runs for a yard with a fine record in this race, another bold showing is expected. The unbeaten Enchanting Empress has a major chance, with the 5lb sex allowance a key factor. Zminiature and Sonic Blue also command respect.
HAWAIIAN looked Royal Ascot material when justifying market support at Newbury and can provide the Richard Hannon stable with a remarkable 13th win in this race. There wasn't much between Enchanting Empress and Rock Hunter when 1-2 in a class 2 at Ascot and that's the next best form on offer.
Newbury winner HAWAIIAN holds the strongest claims on form. Reposado, from the rail draw, is second choice.
(4) Prydwen 16/1, Progressive handicapper with an excellent strike rate in the last couple of years, bagging a valuable pot in the AW Marathon before following up at Southwell. First foray into Group company but well worth his place back on turf. Looks well worth first crack at Group-race honours judged on this year's AW handicap wins.
1
5
1st (5) (5/2 -11%) Sweet William
2.5
5/2(-11%)
(5) Sweet William 5/2, Most progressive equipped with blinkers last season, winning competitive handicaps at Newbury and Goodwood. Excellent second in the Ebor at York and ran at least as well upped in grade when runner-up to Trueshan in Doncaster Cup. Looked a bit half-hearted on return and visor replaces blinkers. Lost out late on to Caius Chorister in 2m Group 3 at Ascot on return; big player.
2
2
2nd (2) (15/8 +16%) Caius Chorister
1.875
15/8(+16%)
(2) Caius Chorister 15/8, Rapid improver in handicaps at 3 yrs, winning 5 in a row. Plenty of good efforts in defeat last season before finally back to winning ways in Group 3 at Saint-Cloud (13.9f, soft) final start. Took form to a new level when runner-up on first crack at 2m when second in the Sagaro Stakes. Big player. Another new high when coming from last to second in 2m Group 3 at Ascot (good to soft).
3
1
3rd (1) (5/1 +0%) Trueshan
5
5/1(+0%)
(1) Trueshan 5/1, One of the leading stayers of recent years. Signs of decline early last season but showed he still has plenty to offer when landing the Doncaster Cup and Prix du Cadran. Shouldered 7 lb penalty (same again here) and just a respectable return at Ascot on the back of another wind op. 7lb penalty again makes his task additionally hard; usually kept to going softer than good.
4
7
4th (7) (66/1 +34%) Miss Cynthia
66
66/1(+34%)
(7) Miss Cynthia 66/1, Remains a maiden and that's unlucky to change on these seriously disadvantageous terms. Hood on. 0-11 and looks well out of her depth today; hooded first time.
5th
3
5th (3) (14/1 +36%) Metier
14
14/1(+36%)
(3) Metier 14/1, Smart hurdler who has also bagged 2 big handicaps on the Flat, namely the 2022 November handicap at Doncaster and 2023 Chester Cup. Found revised mark beyond him back on the level at Newbury and tall order on these terms at this stage of his career. Needs a career best in Group race; rain rather than drying conditions is a boost.
6th
6
6th (6) (4/1 +20%) Chesspiece
4
4/1(+20%)
(6) Chesspiece 4/1, Looked a smart young staying prospect when scoring in a Hamilton listed event in July before meeting a narrow defeat in the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood. Only mid-field in the St Leger but soon back on track when runner-up at Ascot and seems sure to step up on his reappearance. Not yet exposed. Peak form gives him a chance and he could prove well suited by this first crack at 2m.
19:07 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
SWEET WILLIAM has held sway over Trueshan in their last two encounters and his younger legs may again be the most telling factor as the pair renew rivalries for the fourth time, especially as the latter has a 7lb Group 1 penalty for last September's success in the Prix du Cadran at Longchamp. Caius Chorister, who was ahead of her two main rivals when runner-up in the Sagaro, also picks up a 3lb penalty for a French Group 3 win last autumn and may struggle to uphold the Ascot form now the selection has the benefit of a run under his belt.
CAIUS CHORISTER saw out 2m tackling it for the first time really well when a head-second in Group 3 company on reappearance 3 weeks ago. That was a career-best effort and marks her down as just about the one to beat on these terms. Sweet William is next in on form but there are serious doubts over her will to win, so unexposed 4-y-o Chesspiece is feared most.
Caius Chorister is narrowly preferred in the Sagaro rematch but CHESSPIECE having his first run at the trip also makes appeal.
19:07 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(2) Isle Of Jura 5/1, Well-bred colt who is improving at a rate of knots, showing his opening mark to be all wrong at Newbury before following up in easy fashion at Newmarket (both 1m). Won 4 of his 5 starts in Bahrain in recent months and there's plenty to like back on home soil. Landed the Bahrain Triple Crown, taking turf record to 6-9; respected back on home soil.
1
3
1st (3) (1/2 +38%) Royal Rhyme
0.5
1/2(+38%)
(3) Royal Rhyme 1/2, Bolted up in a Glorious Goodwood handicap last summer and confirmed himself a highly talented colt when taking an Ayr listed race (1¼m, good) in September. Far from disgraced stepped up to a Group 1 when fifth in Champion Stakes at Ascot final start. Appeals as one who will do well at 4 yrs. Progressive sort; not disgraced in the 2023 Champion Stakes; seems to need slow ground.
2
1
2nd (1) (7/2 +22%) Certain Lad
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(1) Certain Lad 7/2, Proved he's still a smart performer when ending a 3-year losing streak in a York handicap in October before following up at Doncaster a fortnight later. Respectable fourth in Group 3 at Newbury (12f, good) on return but likely to find a few too strong in this. Retains ability but this 8yo looks vulnerable against some progressive 4yos.
3
5
3rd (5) (17/2 +29%) Miss Cantik
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(5) Miss Cantik 17/2, Campaigned exclusively in France at 3 yrs, winning twice last spring, and almost certainly showed improved form under an enterprising ride from his claimer when making a winning handicap debut at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) last month. This tougher and circumstances are unlikely to be so favourable. Defied a mark of 99 at Leicester on reappearance; open to further improvement.
4
4
4th (4) (11/1 +50%) Elegancia
11
11/1(+50%)
(4) Elegancia 11/1, Useful dual winner over this trip last year. Came up short at Group 3/listed level on her final 2 starts but returns with her yard going well and no surprise were she to make more of an impact this time. Won her last two attempts over 1m2f on turf but faces a difficult task in this field.
19:37 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
In a weak renewal of this race the vote goes to ROYAL RHYME, who progressed well as a three-year-old and won a 1m2f Listed event at Ayr before finishing fifth in the Champion Stakes on his final start of 2023. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give Karl Burke's colt a big chance on his return to action. Certain Lad was not beaten far at all in the John Porter over 1m4f on his seasonal return last month and he is arguably better over this trip. With that in mind, he may pose the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Isle Of Jura.
As is usually the case, a small but select field assemble for this Group 3 and it's ROYAL RHYME who is selected to make a winning reappearance having found the step up from listed company too much of a gap to bridge in the Champion Stakes at Ascot last October. Isle of Jura has won 6 of his last 8 starts, so he looks the obvious danger back on home soil, with Certain Lad, who is double the age of his 4 rivals, completing the shortlist.
Some rain is forecast, so ROYAL RHYME is preferred. Isle of Jura is the best option if the going is good or firmer.
19:37 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(2) Balmacara 8/1, Has quickly made up into a useful colt, bagging a pair of 7f novices at Doncaster this spring in good style. Capable of better still now upped to 1m. Considered. Ties in with Kikkuli on 2yo effort; made all in two races at Doncaster this term.
1
1
1st (1) (7/1 +13%) Almaqam
7
7/1(+13%)
(1) Almaqam 7/1, Lope De Vega colt who resumed with a ready win in 11-runner maiden (5/2) at Yarmouth (8f, good) 23 days ago. This demands more but not to be underestimated. Won at Yarmouth last month and should improve further; holds Group 1 entries.
2
4
2nd (4) (4/1 +0%) Kikkuli
4
4/1(+0%)
(4) Kikkuli 4/1, Bred in the purple and has made a highly-promising start to his career, winning 12-runner maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) 37 days ago in taking style. Has plenty of scope to improve considerably. Most interesting Kingman colt. Half-brother to Frankel; looks sure to build on Newmarket reappearance win; respected.
3
7
3rd (7) (9/1 -13%) Sons And Lovers
9
9/1(-13%)
(7) Sons And Lovers 9/1, Debut 7f winner at Newmarket in October and back with a much-improved third of 7 to Haatem in Craven Stakes over 1m here 35 days ago. Should have more to offer. Not ruled out. Ran well in the Craven on reappearance; possibilities granted further progress.
4
3
4th (3) (13/8 +41%) Ice Max
1.625
13/8(+41%)
(3) Ice Max 13/8, Gelded and has taken his form to another level this term, landing 1m handicaps at Bath and Musselburgh. Put up a very useful effort on latter occasion and a big player despite the step up in grade. Impressive in Musselburgh handicap last time; top on ratings and still improving.
5th
5
5th (5) (11/4 +45%) Remaadd
2.75
11/4(+45%)
(5) Remaadd 11/4, Fairly useful 1m juvenile winner who returned with an excellent 3¾ lengths third of 8 to Arabian Crown in Classic Trial here (10f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Not taken lightly. Solid record; ran creditably in the Classic Trial here most recently.
6th
6
6th (6) (16/1 -146%) Son
16
16/1(-146%)
(6) Son 16/1, Useful colt who comes here on the back of a solid 1¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Esquire in Greenham Stakes (9/2) at Newbury (7f, good) 33 days ago. In the mix. Brings respectable form, having performed well in several Group races.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Cases can be made for all of these but marginal preference is for REMAADD, who confirmed the promise that he displayed as a juvenile when finishing third in the Classic Trial over 1m2f at this venue last month. The son of Gleneagles did not appear to see out the trip that day and better can be expected over this distance. Sons And Lovers was far from disgraced when making the frame in the Craven on just his second start and he has to be of interest on the back of that effort. Balmacara and Kikkuli both look to have very bright futures and should not be underestimated, while Ice Max merits this step up in grade following an impressive handicap victory off a mark of 97 last time.
Harry Charlton's KIKKULI is bred to take high rank and looked a very good prospect when getting off the mark at Newmarket so gets the vote in an intriguing Heron Stakes. Karl Burke's Ice Max rates the form choice and is next on the list ahead of progressive duo Remaadd and Balmacara.
Ice Max has the best chance on ratings but there are plausible alternatives, most notably promising colts KIKKULI and Almaqam.
(10) Bluelight Bay 22/1, Couple of good efforts in defeat after winning at Salisbury last summer but failed to justify support when only eighth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Ascot (8f, good) 22 days ago and needs to bounce back. Won off 1lb higher at Salisbury last June; possibilities.
1
1
(1) (25/1 -79%) Alzahir
25
25/1(-79%)
(1) Alzahir 25/1, Useful dual winner for the Gosden stable and ran well on his return from 8 months off when fourth of 13 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm, 40/1) 13 days ago. Still relatively low mileage, so no surprise if has even more to offer this term. Ran creditably at Chester on reappearance, taking form figures for new yard to 054.
7
7
(7) (25/1 -25%) Excel Power
25
25/1(-25%)
(7) Excel Power 25/1, Winless since scoring twice on the all-weather in late-2022 and his latest seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 52 days ago didn't really signify a return to his best. Others preferred. Others have stronger claims on 2024 efforts; no win since 2022.
1
4
1st (4) (17/2 -31%) Dual Identity
8.5
17/2(-31%)
(4) Dual Identity 17/2, Contested plenty of the big handicaps last term and back to winning ways with a wide-margin success over 10f here in September. Shaped better than the bare result when fifth of 7 at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm, 9/2) 30 days ago and he's not taken lightly with race fitness now on his side. Good record over 1m2f at this venue; drop back to 1m looks a negative.
2
12
2nd (12) (9/2 +68%) Magic Memories
4.5
9/2(+68%)
(12) Magic Memories 9/2, Generally progressive at 3 yrs and ran creditably on return when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster. Disappointing at Leicester since, but overall profile is positive enough to think he could still do better this year. Form dipped last time but consistent otherwise; bred to add to his tally of one win.
3
6
3rd (6) (16/1 -60%) Regheeb
16
16/1(-60%)
(6) Regheeb 16/1, Debut winner at Nottingham last season before landing short odds at Lingfield on third start. Ran well after 5 months off when length second of 7 to Hiromichi in handicap at Ripon (8f, heavy, 14/1) 26 days ago and he remains unexposed as a miler. Good second to Hiromichi at Ripon on reappearance; may progress further.
4
5
4th (5) (16/5 +9%) Crack Shot
3.2
16/5(+9%)
(5) Crack Shot 16/5, Progressive at 3 yrs, edging out Classic at Newbury on his penultimate outing. Didn't really need to advance his form to make a winning return in a 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 19 days ago but remains low mileage and can continue on his upward curve. Newmarket reappearance win took his form figures over 1m to 1211; commands respect.
5th
2
5th (2) (11/2 +39%) Navagio
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(2) Navagio 11/2, Useful 1m/9.5f winner in Ireland for Ray Cody last summer. Changed hands for 47,000 gns and shaped well for his new yard when third of 20 in the Lincoln at Doncaster on his return. Disappointed in Spring Cup since and could possibly do with the rain arriving. Best form on soft, including placed effort in this year's Lincoln (stable debut).
6th
9
6th (9) (12/1 +40%) Al Rufaa
12
12/1(+40%)
(9) Al Rufaa 12/1, On a decent mark given his best and still hasn't has too much racing for this yard, though headstrong tendencies have proved a major issue of late, including when ninth of 11 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good) 14 days ago. Drop back to 1m may help him settle. Useful on his day but has failed to score on turf since 2020.
7th
11
7th (11) (9/1 +0%) Hiromichi
9
9/1(+0%)
(11) Hiromichi 9/1, Winner of 3 his last 5 outings, making a winning comeback at Lingfield last month before producing a career best when beating Regheeb at Ripon (8f, heavy) 26 days ago. Up 4 lb in a stronger contest but merits respect nonetheless. Ripon success (beat Regheeb) took his strike-rate to 8-25; productive sort.
8th
8
8th (8) (15/2 +25%) Dragon Icon
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(8) Dragon Icon 15/2, Shaped very well when a fast-finishing fourth at Kempton in February. Not seen to best effect on next start but had fewer excuses when down the field at that same course last time. Others preferred. Ran respectably in last year's German 2,000 Guineas on sole turf attempt; interesting.
9th
3
9th (3) (8/1 -33%) Classic
8
8/1(-33%)
(3) Classic 8/1, Improved winning over 7f at Sandown in July and shaped well in defeat on his next 2 outings, picked off late only late by Crack Shot at Newbury (8f, good to firm), Meets that rival on more favourable terms here and is shortlisted on return from 8 months off. Ties in with Crack Shot; won a handicap here on Eclipse day last year; interesting.
20:42 Sandown Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
CRACK SHOT made a winning return to action over a mile at Newmarket earlier in the month and a 5lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop this progressive son of Kingman going in again. Alzahir outran his odds when filling fourth over an extended 7f at Chester recently and he may still have more to offer on just his fourth start for these connections. Hiromichi and Regheeb are others with strong form claims, while Dual Identity has a very good record at this venue and completes the shortlist.
DUAL IDENTITY bolted up over 10f here last season and showed enough to be positive about on his return at Epsom to think he cam resume winning ways at the chief expense of Crack Shot and Classic, who had little between them when meeting at Newbury last season and appeal as the types to progress into top-level handicappers this year.
With further progress on the cards, CRACK SHOT is taken to follow up his Newmarket win. Classic is second choice.
