(6)  (1.5/1 -36%)Battista |
1.5/1(-36%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Battista 1.5/1, Cemented positive start to his career when landing the odds in an AW novice, a fortnight ago, hard held. In top hands and opening mark could be lenient. Won a weak Wolverhampton novice last time; open to further progress now handicapping. |
|
(3)  (1.88/1 -7%)Monte Linas |
1.88/1(-7%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Monte Linas 1.88/1, Made a winning debut at Chelmsford in April and cast aside a couple of heavy defeats in handicap company when landing 12-runner contest at York 3 weeks ago. 4 lb rise perfectly fair. Appreciated step up to this trip when winning at York last month; major player up 4lb. |
|
(4)  (4.5/1 +50%)Crystal Casque |
4.5/1(+50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Crystal Casque 4.5/1, Back to winning ways in 1m Newmarket handicap under this apprentice in June. On the back foot early after a tardy start at Ascot so that effort can probably be excused. Won at Newmarket in June; had excuses last time; jockey knows her well; could bounce back. |
|
(1)  (11/1 +67%)Mr Professor |
11/1(+67%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mr Professor 11/1, Disappointing spell in Bahrain and fared no better when last of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f), albeit ridden too aggressively. Off 144 days and has since left Alice Haynes. Listed winner as a 2yo but tailed off in March latest; enough to prove on stable debut. |
|
(5)  (14/1 +44%)Mindthegap |
14/1(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mindthegap 14/1, Different proposition on second start when successful at Chelmsford in November. Shaped as though in need of the run on reappearance in June but didn't step forward switched to turf/handicap company latest, hanging left. Won easily at Chelmsford last autumn but twice well held since returning; enough to prove. |
|
(7)  (20/1 +20%)Amaysmont |
20/1(+20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Amaysmont 20/1, Arrives on a lengthy losing run and nothing to get excited about for current yard. 1-21 on turf; continues to slide down the weights, but hard to fancy. |
|
(2)  (50/1 -100%)Maplewood |
50/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Maplewood 50/1, Off the mark at Windsor in May last year. Heavy defeat at Sandown a month later and let go by Godolphin for £27,000 in March. Entitled to need this. 1-5 for Charlie Appleby; makes stable debut after 417 days off; watch the market. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A comfortable winner in novice company on the all-weather last month, BATTISTA looks the one to beat on his handicap debut. An opening mark of 77 looks workable for John and Thady Gosden's three-year-old and, given his dam is a half-sister to Group 1-placed El Drama, he could have more to offer. Monte Linas seems his most serious danger following a success, albeit off a 4lb lower mark, over this distance at York. Crystal Casque also warrants a second look.
On profile, BATTISTA rather stands out as a 3-y-o on the up with the potential to rate quite a bit higher than his current rating. Monte Linas is the obvious danger on the back of his York win.
Preference is for MONTE LINAS (nap) who appeared to relish the step up to 1m and galloping track when winning at York last time.

(2)  (1.25/1 +23%)Scoops Ahoy |
1.25/1(+23%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Scoops Ahoy 1.25/1, Winner of 5f Hamilton maiden in June but well held at Royal Ascot a week later and ran no sort of race on last month's 6f York nursery debut. This weaker and could bounce back. Hamilton winner in June but well beaten twice since; could bounce back, but risky. |
|
(1)  (2/1 +11%)Trevor |
2/1(+11%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Trevor 2/1, Fair maiden. Raced at 6f but shapes as he has the speed for the drop to 5f. Handicap debut. Has shown early speed the last twice, so drop in trip may suit on nursery debut; respected. |
|
(3)  (4/1 -78%)Fifty Grand Slater |
4/1(-78%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fifty Grand Slater 4/1, Ran poorly at Nottingham last time but his runner-up effort at Wolverhampton prior to that suggests this mark may not be beyond him. Has first-time cheekpieces combined with a refitted tongue tie. Twice second and twice well beaten in four starts; not sure what to expect; cheekpieces on. |
|
(4)  (8/1 +68%)Land Of Magic |
8/1(+68%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Land Of Magic 8/1, Showed ability when fifth in a 6f Goodwood maiden on second start but proved virtually unrideable on his Lingfield nursery debut since, bronking continuously soon after leaving the stalls and quickly tailed off. Has a hood added for the first time. Some ability on third start but proved almost uncontrollable last time; hard to recommend. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A tentative vote is given to TREVOR, who finished two and a half lengths behind the winner at Windsor last month. He makes his nursery debut here and, with further progression likely, Pat Phelan's gelding can get the better of Scoops Ahoy, who may find this to be easier than his most recent start at York. Fifty Grand Slater completes the shortlist in first-time cheekpieces.
A very weak nursery. FIFTY GRAND SLATER ran poorly last time but his AW second prior to that reads well in the context of this race and he can bounce back to form in a headgear combination. Scoops Ahoy, another who needs to shrug off a tame effort last time, could be the one to give him most to do.
This can go to TREVOR who has shown plenty of early speed over 6f in his last two starts, so the drop to 5f looks a good move.

(4)  (0.62/1 -17%)Emperor's Star |
0.62/1(-17%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Emperor's Star 0.62/1, €300,000 yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Dam twice-raced, half-sister to top-class winner up to 10.5f Cloth of Stars. Shaped with plenty of encouragement when second of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Sure to improve and sets a high standard. Clear of the third when second on his Newmarket debut; should be hard to beat. |
|
(10)  (3.2/1 +42%)Wild Waves |
3.2/1(+42%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Wild Waves 3.2/1, 46,000 gns foal, 135,000 gns yearling, Crystal Ocean colt. Half-brother to several winners, including French 15f winner Gran Geste and German 1½m winner Glyzinie. Shaped most promisingly when fourth of 10 in novice (25/1) at this C&D on debut 26 days ago, finishing with running left. Will improve. Promising fourth on debut over C&D last month; should go well again. |
|
(7)  (6.5/1 +28%)Spanish Poet |
6.5/1(+28%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Spanish Poet 6.5/1, Foaled March 9. €120,000 foal, €160,000 yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1¼m Bourree and 1½m-1¾m winner Beamish, both smart. Dam unraced. Attractive pedigree and stable gets plenty of 2yo winners first time; interesting. |
|
(2)  (18/1 -50%)Dark Encounter |
18/1(-50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dark Encounter 18/1, Promising effort when second of 13 in novice event at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on debut, no match for winner. Pulled too hard upped to this trip at Ayr since. Disappointed on second start after a promising debut; faces some interesting types here. |
|
(9)  (25/1 -213%)Teraabb |
25/1(-213%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Teraabb 25/1, Foaled February 11. €105,000 yearling, Masar colt. Dam, useful French 7f/1m winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Daarik. Entered for Champagne Stakes. Stable has few 2yos go in first time, but he holds a Champagne Stakes entry; watch market. |
|
(8)  (33/1 +34%)Sun God |
33/1(+34%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sun God 33/1, Foaled April 9. Fastnet Rock colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Sumo Sam. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 1½m winner Stay Alert (by Fastnet Rock) out of useful 1½m winner (should have stayed 2m) Starfala. May be one for further later on and stable doesn't have many go in first time. |
|
(6)  (40/1 -21%)Golden Deeds |
40/1(-21%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Golden Deeds 40/1, Foaled April 8. Golden Horn colt. Brother to 2-y-o 8.6f winner Band of Steel. Dam, 8.3f winner, half-sister to very smart 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 1½m) Walk In The Park out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 5f winner) Classic Park. Wears hood. Hooded for debut but stable can get one ready first time and he's worth a market check. |
|
(5)  (50/1 +0%)Go Daddy |
50/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Go Daddy 50/1, Foaled January 23. €16,000 foal, €36,000 yearling, €50,000 2-y-o, Smooth Daddy colt. Half-brother to 1½m-1¾m winner Inteldream. Dam 6f-7f winner. Probably of interest on debut only if positive in the market. |
|
(1)  (80/1 -100%)Continuance |
80/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Continuance 80/1, Foaled February 17. Postponed colt. Dam 1m-1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Apprentice ridden on debut and may be one for later on. |
|
(3)  (125/1 -150%)Elforleather |
125/1(-150%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Elforleather 125/1, Foaled March 31. 9,000 gns foal, 18,000 gns yearling, Postponed colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1m winner Kitty Kitana and 9f winner Angels Tread. Dam lightly raced. Probably best watched on debut unless market suggests otherwise. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
EMPEROR'S STAR made a pleasing start to his racing career when finishing second over this distance at Newmarket last month. Charlie Appleby's 300,000-euro purchase boasts an appealing pedigree, being out a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Cloth Of Stars, and he likely has more to offer. Others to consider include C&D fourth Wild Waves and the unraced Golden Deeds.
EMPEROR'S STAR shaped with plenty of encouragement despite being beaten at short odds on debut at Newmarket and he could be useful. Wild Waves also showed plenty to work on when fourth over C&D so is respected, while Teraabb is a newcomer to note (holds a Group 2 entry).
Preference is for EMPEROR'S STAR who pulled clear of the rest when runner-up on last month's Newmarket debut.

(7)  (0.67/1 +16%)Alhambra Palace |
0.67/1(+16%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Alhambra Palace 0.67/1, Progressive sort who confirmed previous encouragement when off the mark in ready fashion at Ascot last time. Type to go on improving and looks well capable of defying a penalty. Off the mark in emphatic fashion at Ascot five days ago; 6lb penalty unlikely to stop him. |
|
(5)  (5/1 +17%)Kyle Of Lochalsh |
5/1(+17%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kyle Of Lochalsh 5/1, Promising sort who upped his game to open his account with something to spare at Newbury last time. Bred to do better still and looks a big player. Did it well when off the mark at Newbury last time; looks the type to carry on improving. |
|
(1)  (7/1 -40%)Grand Providence |
7/1(-40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Grand Providence 7/1, Nathaniel filly who is going the right way and supplemented her Kempton novice win with another improvement effort to score at Doncaster 26 days ago. Well respected in hat-trick bid. Bids for hat-trick off 3lb higher; no reason to believe progress has halted; sure to stay. |
|
(3)  (12/1 +25%)Roost |
12/1(+25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Roost 12/1, :Took a step forward making handicap debut upped to 12f at Doncaster recently, doing little wrong and beaten only by a probable stronger stayer. Didn't really back that up in first-time blinkers over C&D 78 days ago and headgear is quickly discarded. 0-5 but twice runner-up; latest effort can be excused; gelded since and could play a part. |
|
(8)  (12/1 +64%)Balboa |
12/1(+64%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Balboa 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden who stepped forward from his handicap debut when fifth of 11 over C&D on final outing for Jamie Osborne. Needs improvement if he's to feature though. 0-5 and makes his debut for his new yard after 36,000gns sale; probably best watched. |
|
(2)  (18/1 -157%)Cavern Club |
18/1(-157%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cavern Club 18/1, Winner of an 11f Kempton nursery in December and creditable efforts so far this term, fourth at Newbury last time. Others look better treated, though. Hasn't always looked the easiest and others are more convincing. |
|
(4)  (20/1 +29%)Enochdhu |
20/1(+29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Enochdhu 20/1, Latest win at Windsor in May. 16/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive. Well held in last two starts; more exposed than his rivals and needs to bounce back. |
|
(6)  (40/1 -21%)Royal Deeside |
40/1(-21%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Royal Deeside 40/1, Fair form in a minor event and 2 maidens last season, very much looking a stayer when fourth at Newmarket (10f) on his final outing at 2 yrs. Better for return when third at Doncaster last time and it's still early days, so he's not a forlorn hope. Well behind the runner-up when 3rd at Doncaster last time; 2lb drop is not enough to tempt. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Grand Providence has won her last two starts and, as she remains unexposed, the three-year-old enters calculations. As does Roost, who has been gelded since he was last seen and he retains scope for progression. However, ALHAMBRA PALACE showed no signs of stopping when romping home over 1m4f at Ascot last Friday and a 6lb penalty might not be enough to prevent a follow-up success over this longer trip.
ALHAMBRA PALACE cleared away in taking fashion to open his account at Ascot 5 days ago and he's likely to go in again if the race doesn't come too soon. Kyle of Lochalsh fits a similar mould having improved to score at Newbury last time, so he's the main dagner ahead of Grand Providence.
The choice is ALHAMBRA PALACE who was so impressive when winning at Ascot five days ago. His 6lb penalty shouldn't stop him.

(6)  (1.38/1 +83%)Hakuna Babe |
1.38/1(+83%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hakuna Babe 1.38/1, Fair maiden. Creditable fourth of 11 to Measured Moments in handicap at Leicester (10f, good) 13 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again. 4th to Measured Moments at Leicester last time and is 5lb better off; needs to find more. |
|
(5)  (2.5/1 +62%)Measured Moments |
2.5/1(+62%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Measured Moments 2.5/1, Got off the mark for the season in 11-runner handicap at Leicester (10f, good) 13 days ago. Reliable sort who can go well again. Showed she could act on turf when winning at Leicester last time; respected off 5lb higher. |
|
(1)  (5/1 +9%)Prenup |
5/1(+9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Prenup 5/1, In excellent form for his current yard this term, scoring at Wolverhampton and Newbury. Posted another solid effort when fourth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (8f, soft) 18 days ago so needs considering. Two wins for this yard since returning in March but she may prefer the ground to dry out. |
|
(3)  (5/1 +23%)Ellade |
5/1(+23%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ellade 5/1, It's now eleven runs since her last win but she posted a good second of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago, despite conceding first run. Expected to be bang there off an unchanged mark. Back to form when second at Chepstow last time and one for the shortlist from same mark. |
|
(9)  (18/1 +45%)Aurora Charm |
18/1(+45%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Aurora Charm 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden, best effort when fourth of 11 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 37 days ago on her final run for Roger Varian. Hood back on and not discounted on her yard/handicap debut. Makes stable/handicap debut; can't be dismissed with the possibility of further progress. |
|
(7)  (33/1 +34%)Bijjlee |
33/1(+34%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bijjlee 33/1, Fair maiden at her best in UAE. Hooded on yard debut when only tenth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 50 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward now stepping up in trip. 0-6 in the UAE and well beaten on stable debut at Southwell in June; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Prenup has run with credit since joining Jane Chapple-Hyam and, having been nudged down 1lb after another respectable effort at Ascot last month, she remains of interest, despite the burden of top weight. However, BERNADINE has a live chance on these terms and, with her weight-for-age allowance boosting the appeal, the three-year-old is taken to confirm Ascot form with the aforementioned filly. Leicester-scorer Measured Moments also makes the shortlist.
ELLADE comes here on a lengthy losing run but shaped well when runner-up at Chepstow last time and can race off the same mark so edges the vote. Bernadine is feared most on the back of her good Ascot second, although D Day Odette, Measured Moments and Hakuna Babe all need factoring into a competitive handicap too.
This can go to BERNADINE, a three-time winner this year who probably put up her best effort when second at Ascot last time.

1.5/1(-20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Eastern Charm 1.5/1, Progressive from a low base this term, gaining third success from last 4 starts back on AW at Chelmsford (1m) last month. This undoubtedly tougher back on turf but she's in excellent hands and further progress distinctly possible. Has won three from four since returning; progressing steadily but takes on better company. |
|
(1)  (3.33/1 +52%)Palamon |
3.33/1(+52%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Palamon 3.33/1, Promise on first of 3 starts in novice/maiden company and, having been gelded, shaped better than bare result when fifth on handicap debut at Bath (1m) in June (reportedly finished lame). Remains with potential to do better and market support behind him would look significant. Hasn't built on a promising debut and finished lame last time; enough to prove. |
|
(5)  (6.5/1 +28%)Loddon |
6.5/1(+28%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Loddon 6.5/1, Fair form on 2 of his 3 starts in maiden/novice events at up to 10f since the spring and she had soft ground as a plausible excuse on handicap debut at Salisbury (9.9f) 18 days ago. Yard enjoying a good spell and she's not one to write off. May have found 1m2f in soft ground too much last time and had shown ability before that. |
|
(2)  (7.5/1 +25%)City Cyclone |
7.5/1(+25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) City Cyclone 7.5/1, Fair maiden who is beginning to look exposed and he faded out of things back from a short break on yard debut at Newbury (1m) 12 days ago. Eased 2 lb ahead of this but others make greater appeal. Placed three times in novices for the Kublers but held in both handicaps; more needed. |
|
(8)  (9/1 +44%)Italian Magic |
9/1(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Italian Magic 9/1, Offered something to work on in trio of 1m novice events but easy to back and ultimately finished well held on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, firm) back in June. Return to this forecast easier ground may help with cheekpieces now enlisted. Hasn't built on a fairly promising debut at Nottingham in April; cheekpieces on. |
|
(4)  (11/1 +8%)Dicko The Legend |
11/1(+8%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dicko The Legend 11/1, Displayed promise on first of 3 novice outings for Joseph Parr as a juvenile. Gelded/switched yard, possibly needed the run on handicap debut at Leicester (7f) 5 weeks ago, weakening gradually. Needs to leave that behind if he's to figure. Regressed in three starts for another yard last year and little on stable/handicap debut. |
|

Not in same form at Epsom (7f) 13 days ago, however. Two AW wins this year but ran well on turf on stable debut; latest effort can be forgiven. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
EASTERN CHARM's narrow winning margin at Chelmsford last time doesn't tell the whole story as she was running on strongly at the finish, creating the impression that there is plenty more to come from the William Haggas-trained filly. With Adam Farragher's claim effectively cancelling out her 2lb rise, she has a live chance of following up this evening. H Key Lails, who steps back up in trip, and the unexposed handicapper Playupskyblues appeal most from the opposition.
EASTERN CHARM has made a bright start to her 3-y-o campaign from a low base, making it 3 wins from 4 starts at Chelmsford (1m) 24 days ago, and, with her rider's claim off-setting her latest weight rise, she earns the vote to enhance her already impressive strike rate. Playupskyblues and Palamon, who remains the type to do better, are others to consider.
The vote goes to PLAYUPSKYBLUES who ran better on his first start since wind surgery when sixth in a big field at Newbury 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.
