1st (3) (5/2 -54%)Warning Sign |
5/2(-54%) | (3) Warning Sign 5/2, well-backed and justified favouritism when finally off the mark on 22nd career start when landed a handicap by a length off 69 over 8f here last time; should go very well again in similar company; contender Won here in first-time blinkers latest; could have more to offer in the retained headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4/6 +59%)Inquisition |
4/6(+59%) | (5) Inquisition 4/6, Got first run, but taking effort off the front scored by 4l off 65 under Ryan Moore at Yarmouth penultimate start; that marked a double after opening account at Wolverhampton time before; second beaten a short-head off 71 last time; the pick on balance of form Front-running 3yo with a progressive profile; can make bold bid under in-form Paul Hainey. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/1 -100%)Morcar |
10/1(-100%) | (1) Morcar 10/1, Game when scored by 1/2l off 78 at Lingfield in May; fairly maintained that form in three runs since, including when third and only beaten by 1 1/4l off 82 last time; remains a threat on the balance of things Won at Lingfield in May and has continued in good form; could be in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/1 +29%)Rockit Tommy |
10/1(+29%) | (2) Rockit Tommy 10/1, Score on first two starts and added to career tally twice Kempton last October; was perhaps unlucky when beaten narrowly at Goodwood penultimate start; beaten 4l off 79 over 12f back there last time; outsider Very close fourth at Goodwood in June but beaten 4l when fifth there next time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (33/1 -32%)Justice Roll |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Justice Roll 33/1, French winner before joining this yard; had three relatively unsuccessful start over obstacles; probably needed race on reappearance when comfortably held in a handicap over 12f at Epsom last time; looks to be second string for this yard French Flat winner but tailed off at 33-1 at Epsom three weeks ago when back on the Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (40/1 -60%)Contrast |
40/1(-60%) | (6) Contrast 40/1, Probably needed race on seasonal reappearance when beaten by 9 1/2l in a handicap over 9f at Carlisle last time; usually held up; most recent win came five starts ago at Ripon last May; outsider 11yo; may have needed reappearance run and is just 1lb higher than for Ripon win last May. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

INQUISITION hasn't finished outside of the top two since competing in handicaps, most recently filling the runner-up spot at Epsom, and she can continue her excellent form. Warning Sign showed improvement in first-time blinkers to score over a mile here on his latest outing and commands respect, despite being 3lb higher. Of the remainder, Morcar makes the most appeal.

Jockey Paul Hainey is enjoying an excellent year and that can continue with INQUISITION. The 3yo is a filly on the up.

1st (8) (7/4 +61%)Entailed |
7/4(+61%) | (8) Entailed 7/4, Harry Angel filly; disappointing debut when well beaten in a maiden over 6f at Newbury only start; powerful connections; trainer in form and does well with juveniles; Oisin Murphy takes over from James Doyle and is in-form; more needed but not ruled out entirely Well beaten on debut but pedigree suggests she should be capable of considerably better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (25/1 +62%)Havana Smile |
25/1(+62%) | (2) Havana Smile 25/1, £18,000 2yo; Havana Grey colt; modest debut when slowly away and last well beaten by 13l in a maiden over 6f at Ascot only start; wide draw; difficult to fancy and looks a big outsider in this field Beaten a long way at 40-1 on recent debut at Ascot and a transformation is needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (8/1 +50%)Dance Of Angels |
8/1(+50%) | (7) Dance Of Angels 8/1, 22 Mar; £35,000 breeze-up purchase by Harry Angel; dam, She Can Boogie, smart at 5f and closely related to Carazan, a Group 3 winner over 5f as a juvenile; looks an unlikely winner on debut Has a precocious pedigree and this Harry Angel newcomer could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (13/2 -95%)Love Alive |
13/2(-95%) | (9) Love Alive 13/2, £125,000 2yo; Havana Grey filly; big improvement on second start when gourth beaten 4 1/4l in a novice over 6f at Ascot latest; potential threat if progressing further; looks to be yard's first string Showed pace and promise when fourth at Ascot on second start; might be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/2 -17%)Too Darn Good |
7/2(-17%) | (4) Too Darn Good 7/2, Too Darn Hot cold; improved on first two starts, especially second outing at Salisbury when ninth, when fourth beaten 2l in a novice at Windsor latest; Jim Crowley booking significant; the pick on balance of form Close fourth at Windsor on third start and sets the standard on form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (16/1 -14%)Sprinting Speed |
16/1(-14%) | (3) Sprinting Speed 16/1, Mehmas colt; below expectations in a poor debut when 13l back in midfield in a novice over 6f at Salisbury only start; may come on for that first start, but all to do and not easy to back Soundly beaten fifth on debut at Salisbury but interesting to see if his backers return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (18/1 +10%)What's On Second |
18/1(+10%) | (5) What's On Second 18/1, 2 Apr; Land Force colt; full-brother to Serried Ranks, smart at 6f; dam, Pack Together, was smart at 6f-7f, including winning on debut and placing in a Listed; wide draw; tough enough task on debut Brother to 5f/6f 2yo winner Serried Ranks (RPR 98); trainer won this in 2021; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (100/1 -100%)Madam Mali |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Madam Mali 100/1, 22,000 euro yearling; Sands Of Mali filly; well beaten on both starts, including in a novice over 6f at Windsor latest; hood first time; difficult to fancy from what she has shown thus far Down the field on both starts and lots of improvement is needed in a first-time hood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (7/2 -40%)Back To Black |
7/2(-40%) | (6) Back To Black 7/2, 24 Feb; Dark Angel filly; full-sister to Dr Zempf, very smart over 6f including at 2yo; half-sister to several winners, including Dancin Inthestreet, a 6f AW winner at 2yo; dam very smart over 6f including at 2yo including at 2yo; trainer in form; wide draw; top trainer Attractive pedigree and makes debut with her top trainer in excellent form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Love Alive took a step forward from her debut to finish fourth at Ascot last month and is likely to have more to come, but it may pay to side with TOO DARN GOOD. Charlie Hills' juvenile was far from disgraced in fourth at Windsor on his most recent start and sets a fair standard with an official rating of 75. Any market confidence behind newcomer Back To Black would be interesting.

This could go to William Haggas-trained debutante BACK TO BLACK, who is bred to be talented. What's On Second is second choice.

1st (4) (40/1 +39%)Loz Vegas |
40/1(+39%) | (4) Loz Vegas 40/1, 19,000gns yearling; Lucky Vega colt; in need of the experience on a poor debut when green and well beaten in a novice over 7f at Ascot only start; all to do in a race that looks like it may three other horses with potential 19,000gns yearling who reportedly ran green when well beaten at 80-1 on debut at Ascot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (15/2 -275%)Henry Lawson |
15/2(-275%) | (3) Henry Lawson 15/2, 19 Feb; Australia gelding; half-brother to Musical Act, smart at 7f-8f and placed in a Listed; dam, Poetic Charm, well-bred by Dubawi and high-class at 9f; one to consider on debut for in-form Charlie Appleby and Godolphin From the family of Teofilo; represents top connections; could play a leading role on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/4 +55%)Gavriel |
9/4(+55%) | (2) Gavriel 9/4, 14 Mar; Frankel colt; full brother to Barn Owl, who was very useful 10-13f; half-brother to Epictetus, high-class at 8f; dam high-class at 10f; likely go well on debut, but could be second string for yard Bred to be very talented and he's one of two for his top stable; watch betting on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|DQ| (1) (8/15 +20%)Corinth |
8/15(+20%) | (1) Corinth 8/15, Touch green under pressure, beaten on merit but good debut 2 1/4l fourth in a novice over 7f here first-time out; top course trainers, who are in form; in-form Oisin Murphy booked; stocky, quite nice type by Dubawi, should do better for top connections Promise when fourth of five here on debut and he's a bright prospect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Gavriel is related to plenty of winners and with the Gosden team in good form, he warrants a market check on his introduction. However, his stablemate CORINTH makes more appeal. The son of Dubawi shaped with lots of promise when finishing fourth in a hot maiden over 7f here and is likely to have lots of improvement in him. Henry Lawson is one to watch in the betting market.

Corinth can build on the promise of last month's debut here but preference is for his well-bred stablemate GAVRIEL on his first run.

1st (5) (10/11 +60%)Dangerman |
10/11(+60%) | (5) Dangerman 10/11, Improved for first-time blinkers when opening account over C&D in handicap by 3l off 76 here last time; top course trainers are in form; likely threat to follow up despite a 4lb rise in the weights Won by 3l over C&D on second handicap start and a 4lb rise could prove lenient. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (11/4 +61%)Desert Shadow |
11/4(+61%) | (6) Desert Shadow 11/4, Appeared not to stay beaten 10l in a handicap over 12f at Newbury last time; in good form prior with a couple of placed efforts over 10f; significant trainer and jockey combo who tend to do well together; off a short-break; bit to find Well beaten on handicap debut but gelded since and returns with his trainer in fine form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (28/1 -250%)Advancing |
28/1(-250%) | (2) Advancing 28/1, Very promising debut when winning at Kempton in February, but well backed no better than fourth and beaten 4l in a novice over 8f at Newcastle latest; cheekpieces first time; bit to find; off a break since March Promise on AW earlier this year on first two starts; this longer trip could be a good move. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/1 -78%)Muhaajim |
4/1(-78%) | (1) Muhaajim 4/1, Steadily progressive and improved again when up in trip won a maiden at Pontefract by 2l last time; trainer in form; suited by 1m2f, acts on GS and G; looks like should be the one to beat as looks to follow up Pontefract maiden winner who is well bred and open to further improvement for top yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/1 -100%)Liberate |
11/1(-100%) | (3) Liberate 11/1, Solid effort on handicap debut and run probably reflects ability beaten 3l off 82 at Chester last time; off the mark time before when scoring at over this distance Goodwood; significant jockey booking in Rossa Ryan; Goodwood novice winner; fourth of six on handicap debut at Chester; needs something extra. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (40/1 -122%)Sea The Light |
40/1(-122%) | (4) Sea The Light 40/1, Made a winning start when off the mark on debut at Newcastle over 7f in May; below par down the field in a novice over 8f at Doncaster most recent; off a short-break; bit to find now upped further Won on the first of his two runs; the step up in trip could suit on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (33/1 -32%)Moon Sniper |
33/1(-32%) | (7) Moon Sniper 33/1, Appeared not to stay and probably needed the race when comfortably held in a handicap here last time; this is second run after wind op; bit to find and looks to be an outsider all things considered Twice runner-up over 7f last year but well beaten over C&D on both 3yo runs. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

MUHAAJIM should have more to come after getting off the mark at Pontefract and he can strike again on handicap debut for connections that are in top form at present. Dangerman scored comfortably over C&D last time out and a 4lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to go in again. Advancing and Liberate are likely to be thereabouts as well.

Having won in good style over C&D a fortnight ago in first-time blinkers, DANGERMAN (nap) can follow up off just 4lb higher.

1st (4) (9/1 -80%)Lunario |
9/1(-80%) | (4) Lunario 9/1, Back to winning ways first time in nearly 12 months when landed a handicap by 1 1/2l off 73 over 8f at Chester last time; good chance of contending again despite being 5lb heavier Won with these blinkers back on at Chester and can give another good account back up 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (13/2 -30%)The Hare Rail |
13/2(-30%) | (7) The Hare Rail 13/2, Suited by stiff track and probably ran to AW 2yo form beaten 2l off 74 here last time; suited by stiff 7f and sound surface; seems best held up; Jim Crowley keeps the ride; could be a threat Nine-race maiden but he returned to form when second over C&D a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/1 +0%)Warm Spell |
10/1(+0%) | (2) Warm Spell 10/1, Below par once again when second last of 10 and beaten by 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newbury last time; only win came on second start at Newbury in 2023; lightly raced; significant jockey booking in Oisin Murphy; off a short-break; not out of it Runner-up on yard/seasonal debut at Doncaster in March but unable to make an impact since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (15/2 -125%)Padua |
15/2(-125%) | (5) Padua 15/2, Ideally suited by trip when opening account on fifth start, landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 77 at Haydock last time; looks capable of following up and looks to be perhaps the main contender Made all at Haydock on second handicap start and could take a 4lb rise in his stride. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (4/1 +60%)Tennessee Gold |
4/1(+60%) | (1) Tennessee Gold 4/1, Won this last year when scoring by a neck under Callum Shepherd to jusfify favouritism; won at Kempton three starts back at the end of last year, but out of form two run since, including below par beaten 6l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; Rossa Ryan booked Won this 12 months ago but down the field on both outings this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (2/1 +43%)Diligent Resdev |
2/1(+43%) | (3) Diligent Resdev 2/1, Been hitting the frame with a couple of placed efforts last twice, including when third and only beaten 2l off 85 at York last time; three-time winner in 11 starts; off a short-break; not out of this Has run well in defeat on all four starts this season and can be in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (9/2 +36%)Happy Banner |
9/2(+36%) | (6) Happy Banner 9/2, Appeared not to stay 5l third in a handicap over 10f at Redcar most recent run; trainer in form; stepping back down to 7f and only win came over this trip at Kempton in December; Tom Marquand booked; value selection based on balance of form Didn't quite see out 1m2f at Redcar last time but she may now need further than 7f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

PADUA benefited from the drop to 7f when getting off the mark at Haydock last month and a 4lb rise may not be insurmountable. Back to winning ways with a taking success at Chester recently, Lunario is entitled to be thereabouts off 5lb higher, along with The Hare Rail, who remains a maiden but was a highly encouraging second over C&D most recently.

The 3yo PADUA won at Haydock last month when dropped to 7f for the first time and could have more to offer at the trip.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 +0%)Tadreeb |
7/1(+0%) | (7) Tadreeb 7/1, Completed a hat-trick over 7f all at Lingfield in quick succession at the start of the year; improved on prior form when beaten 2l off 72 over 7f at Ascot last time; usually held up; not out of it Kept on for 4th over 7f at Ascot recently and could have a part to play now back up to 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/2 +50%)Lordsbridge Blu |
7/2(+50%) | (3) Lordsbridge Blu 7/2, Beaten 7l in a handicap over 10f at Doncaster last time; generally out of form this season; only career win came over 9.f at Wolverhampton in September; Tom Marquand a significant jockey booking; chance Continues to drop down weights but claims aren't compelling in view of his recent form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (16/1 -33%)Kalamunda |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Kalamunda 16/1, Slowly away and came home last of 10 in a handicap at Kempton most recent; in good form prior when close on several occasions; Rossa Ryan previously won on board at Southwell in October 2023; wide draw Has a lower mark on turf than AW but for very good reason; reluctant to race last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/2 +36%)King Of Charm |
7/2(+36%) | (1) King Of Charm 7/2, Well-backed and won narrowly over this C&D 12 months ago; nearly followed up at Newmarket, but very little since and did not get a clear run beaten 8l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; outsider Patchy this season but course form-figures read 221; interesting now back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (11/2 -22%)Newfangled |
11/2(-22%) | (5) Newfangled 11/2, Well backed when scored by a neck off 69 under Trevor Whelan at Windsor in May; back to form when second beaten a neck off 73 last time; wide draw; the pick on balance of form Bar a blip two starts ago he's been running really well this season; bang there once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (13/2 +0%)Royal Pleasure |
13/2(+0%) | (10) Royal Pleasure 13/2, Did not get a clear run beaten 2 1/2l off 68 over 9f at Epsom last time; very close second over 8f at Lingfield three starts back; without a win since 2022; Hector Crouch booked; may be in the mix 7yo who is on long losing streak but was 2nd to progressive 3yo at Epsom three weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (25/1 -25%)Hieronymus |
25/1(-25%) | (6) Hieronymus 25/1, Below par down the field in a handicap over 7f at Ascot most recent; generally out of form since 7f win at Kempton in February; enjoys making it; significant jockey booking in Jim Crowley; value selection based on balance of form Well treated on AW form but this 9yo is 0-23 on grass and others are preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (20/1 -43%)Arkendale |
20/1(-43%) | (9) Arkendale 20/1, Modest National Hunt campaign when failed to really prove stamina over longer trips; failed to impression two starts back here; beaten 10l in a handicap over 10f here last time; significant jockey booking may bring more, but bit to find On a reduced mark but hasn't been at the top of his game this summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (40/1 -60%)Enough Already |
40/1(-60%) | (2) Enough Already 40/1, Won over this distance at Dundalk on penultimate start; switched hands since and probably needed race on first start for new yard when well beaten in a handicap here latest; hard to recommend Won on Dundalk AW in March but soundly beaten at 50-1 over C&D on recent stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Not beaten far at Lingfield on Saturday, PORT ERIN should be suited by dropping back to 1m and he can make it three wins in his last five starts with jockey Tyrese Cameron taking off a valuable 7lb. Narrowly denied at Windsor last time out, Newfangled is capable of being in the shake-up again, while Royal Pleasure and Tadreeb complete the shortlist.

Newfangled arrives on the back of a near-miss but preference is for KING OF CHARM, who has an eyecatching record here.

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.
