Suited by 10-12f on a sound surface and remains consistent, but holds no secrets from the handicapper. Triple 1m4f winner; handicapper has had his measure since his last win but respected.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (16/1 -78%)Damascus Steel |
16/1(-78%) | (7) Damascus Steel 16/1, Well treated despite a 5lb rise after running to form when landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Suited by 12f and holds a good chance off his new mark. Multiple 1m4f AW winner, including on Tapeta; on a winning mark; contender.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (7/1 -40%)Jodhpur Blue |
7/1(-40%) | (9) Jodhpur Blue 7/1, Ran to form up in trip when beaten a head off this mark at Southwell last time. Effective at 7-11f and back in form, but stamina still needs to be proven. 7f Tapeta winner; just held (1m3f) latest; further step up in trip positive; interesting.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/2 +50%)Machete |
11/2(+50%) | (1) Machete 11/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back. Outpaced but ran to form when sixth, beaten 5l off 85 last time, and races from 1lb lower here. Effective at 10-13f and generally consistent. 1m2f Tapeta winner; weakened out of it over 1m4f latest but gets 1m4f; possible player.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 -9%)Midnight Rumble |
12/1(-9%) | (2) Midnight Rumble 12/1, Returned to form when beaten a length off this mark at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 2m over hurdles and 10-12f on the Flat, and closely matched with several re-opposing rivals. 1m2f Polytrack winner; bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts latest; contender.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (7/1 -27%)Robusto |
7/1(-27%) | (5) Robusto 7/1, Rallied gamely and ran to form when beaten a head off this mark at Southwell last time. Effective around 12-14f and remains on a competitive mark, though a poor strike rate is a concern. Multiple winner at up to 2m; in good form; prominent racer with a handy draw; player.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (18/1 -13%)Sea Founder |
18/1(-13%) | (6) Sea Founder 18/1, Made a move too soon and did not find much after being hampered when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Hood worn for the first time, suited by 8f, and stamina remains to be proven. 1m winner; takes a marked step up in trip and has stamina to prove; hood now fitted.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (9/1 +18%)Knockbrex |
9/1(+18%) | (3) Knockbrex 9/1, Scored by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back. Outpaced but ran to form when fifth, beaten 3l off 83 last time, and is 1lb lower here. Effective at 10-12f and respected once again. 1m2f-1m4f AW winner; below his best latest; can be competitive if he acts at this track.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (2/1 +27%)Cardinal Point |
2/1(+27%) | (10) Cardinal Point 2/1, Improved on recent form with a clear run when landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Trainer is in form, she is suited by 12-16f, and still looks fairly handicapped. Easy C&D winner latest; penalty may not stop her from following up, if in the same form.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (22/1 -57%)Yokohama |
22/1(-57%) | (8) Yokohama 22/1, Too keen and below form when beaten 8l up in trip in a handicap here last time. Had been in good form previously, is effective at 10f, and a drop back in distance looks a plus. Second on turf from higher last season but needs to be much better than his latest effort.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

There are a few with chances, including the hat-trick seeking Damascus Steel, who continues to be overlooked in the market. Melek Alreeh, Jodhpur Blue and Robusto all arrive on the back of narrow defeats, but CARDINAL POINT is taken to defy a 5lb penalty. Michael Bell's filly had started to become a little frustrating but regained the winning thread over C&D in fine style and, having snapped that run of seconds, she could kick on.

Decisive C&D winner CARDINAL POINT is taken to follow up under a 5lb penalty.

1st (9) (3/1 -9%)Captain Pickles |
3/1(-9%) | (9) Captain Pickles 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l into third in a classified race at Southwell last time. Effective from 6-9f on the all-weather and holds a chance in what looks a weak race. Placed last twice; pedigree suggests this trip could be beneficial and he looks a player.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 -20%)Dash Power |
4/1(-20%) | (1) Dash Power 4/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l into third over a trip that looked sharp enough in a classified race at Newcastle last time. Effective at 8/9f on the all-weather and showing signs of form at a lowly level. C&D winner who has been off the boil for a while and has a bit to prove.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (13/2 +19%)Lady Delila |
13/2(+19%) | (3) Lady Delila 13/2, Was far too free when stepped up in trip and failed to stay when well beaten in a classified race at Southwell last time. Effective at 8-10f on the all-weather but has something to prove for a new yard. Unplaced in 14 starts and beaten a long way in a similar contest latest.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (4/1 +84%)Sold Out |
4/1(+84%) | (10) Sold Out 4/1, Had the run of the race but continued in poor form when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Yet to show any worthwhile form on the all-weather. Unplaced in nine attempts, including over C&D on his penultimate start; more needed.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (15/2 -15%)Trusty Scout |
15/2(-15%) | (7) Trusty Scout 15/2, Ran to his current form level when beaten 5l in a classified race here last time. Effective from 8-12f on the all-weather but remains unreliable and is without a win for over two years. Not disgraced on his last two starts here (both 9.5f) but not sure he wants this trip.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (40/1 -300%)Scarfo |
40/1(-300%) | (6) Scarfo 40/1, Ran to form when beaten 6l into third in a handicap at Ffos Las last time. Returning from a break, he is effective at 7-8f but needs to prove fitness on this all-weather return. 7f course winner; better efforts largely here; not usually at his best after a break.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (10/1 -122%)Headshot |
10/1(-122%) | (2) Headshot 10/1, Below form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Trained by a top course trainer, effective from 7-10f on the all-weather, and not ruled out now dropping back down in class. Dual C&D winner; needs to step up on three lesser 7f efforts now back up in trip.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (50/1 -52%)Mr Slicker |
50/1(-52%) | (4) Mr Slicker 50/1, Made too much use of early and set the race up for closers when well beaten in a classified race at Southwell last time. Effective at 8f on the all-weather but a bounce back is required. Multiple AW winner in France; acts on Tapeta; has better form on the surface at Southwell.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (16/1 -14%)Blueandtangerine |
16/1(-14%) | (8) Blueandtangerine 16/1, Poor effort when beaten 10l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. A visor is fitted for the first time, but despite a falling mark she needs to show more to feature. Hard to recommend on anything she has produced since the start of 2025; visor goes on.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (10/1 +17%)Quick Away |
10/1(+17%) | (5) Quick Away 10/1, Won this race last year but found little when finishing down the field in a classified race at Southwell last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time and she is effective at 8/9f on the all-weather. Dual C&D winner; well below par since winning here last March; plenty to prove.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

As is often the case in these types of contest, many of the runners arrive with something to prove. That can't be said for DASH POWER, who has posted a couple of solid efforts at this level of late, with the most recent coming at Newcastle. The previous C&D winner won't need much more to land this and he's preferred to Headshot, who is likely to benefit from a drop in class. Captain Pickles has hit the frame the last twice and is capable of being involved.

Best of an ordinary bunch might be CAPTAIN PICKLES with the return to this longer trip in his favour.

1st (3) (9/2 +0%)First Encounter |
9/2(+0%) | (3) First Encounter 9/2, Did plenty early and helped set it up for the closers when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective over 8f to 10f. Hard to predict based on recent efforts. Claims if reproducing his second in a Chelmsford handicap in November; not written off.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 -9%)Bossy Parker |
3/1(-9%) | (1) Bossy Parker 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 1/4l in third in a classified race here on his most recent run. Effective over 6f and 7f, with all recent form on the all-weather. Fairly treated on these terms, though stamina remains to be proven. 7f course winner; pedigree suggests he can stay this trip (first go); not ruled out.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/2 +25%)Lhebayeb |
9/2(+25%) | (4) Lhebayeb 9/2, Had every chance but was below form when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Effective over 8f to 10f on the all-weather. On a long losing run and has proved unreliable of late. Dual C&D winner; placed over C&D in the autumn and is very much one to consider.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (9/2 +25%)Arlecchino's Rex |
9/2(+25%) | (8) Arlecchino's Rex 9/2, Ran to form up in trip when beaten 5l in third in a handicap here on his most recent run. Effective at 7f. Not the force of old but could be a threat if seeing out the trip. 7f course winner; hung left-handed when 5l third in a C&D handicap latest; not ruled out.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 -336%)Change Of Fortune |
12/1(-336%) | (2) Change Of Fortune 12/1, Was a bit below form when fourth, beaten 11l, in a handicap at Ffos Las latest. Returning from a break. Effective over 8f to 9f but yet to fully convince with stamina for further, and was in fair form prior to that run. Went close here (9.5f) in similar event last June; record when fresh is largely moderate.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (22/1 -57%)Star Of St Louis |
22/1(-57%) | (7) Star Of St Louis 22/1, Was a bit too free up in trip and needed the run when well beaten in a classified race here latest. Effective over 8f to 10f on the all-weather, likes the track, has had issues and could leave that reappearance form behind. C&D winner; showed he retained minor ability last summer but well beaten here 11 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (15/2 +70%)Port Noir |
15/2(+70%) | (5) Port Noir 15/2, Made too much use of when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Effective over 8f to 10f on the all-weather. Has lost form and has plenty to prove on recent evidence. Six-time course winner; well beaten last three starts but not written off down in grade.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (28/1 +15%)Platinum Babe |
28/1(+15%) | (10) Platinum Babe 28/1, Made too much use of when comfortably held in a classified race at Windsor last time. Has yet to show anything of note in her races so far. Unplaced in five starts, including at this level at Windsor last August when last seen.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (50/1 -100%)Invincible Storm |
50/1(-100%) | (9) Invincible Storm 50/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l in a classified race at Lingfield last time. Effective over 7f to 8f on the all-weather. An exposed and unreliable maiden based on what he has shown so far. Placed in 1-20 starts; very hard to fancy on anything he's achieved since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (80/1 -220%)Saint Terry |
80/1(-220%) | (6) Saint Terry 80/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 6 1/4l in a classified race at Lingfield last time. Trained by a top course trainer but has yet to show any worthwhile form and is hard to fancy. Moderate form in seven starts and comfortably held at this level latest; more needed.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It's difficult to be confident in a race of this nature and a tentative vote goes to LHEBAYEB. Richard Price's eight-year-old has found consistency hard to come by in handicaps of late but a drop into classified company will do her chances no harm and, on these terms, she appears to hold solid claims. Change Of Fortune returns from a 124-day absence but is one of the more appealing options, while Arlecchino's Rex could fare best of the remainder.

The suggestion is LHEBAYEB, who tends to save her better efforts for here, has an inside draw and a good chance on form.

1st (5) (9/2 -64%)Terranoble |
9/2(-64%) | (5) Terranoble 9/2, Had plenty to do and went very wide on the home turn when finishing 7 1/4l third in a maiden at Lingfield last time. Stays at least 1m and should improve further, especially over longer trips. Has shown ability in two 1m runs at Lingfield; improvement required but it's possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/6 +58%)Hot To Hot |
5/6(+58%) | (3) Hot To Hot 5/6, Did not get home after being made plenty of use of when beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at Chelmsford last time. Off a short break, he stays 1m and a drop back to that distance might suit better. Similar modest form in two Polytrack runs last month; gelded since latest; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (2/1 0%)Tommo's Ginjaninja |
2/1(0%) | (6) Tommo's Ginjaninja 2/1, Green and became detached but finished well when runner-up, beaten 4l, in a maiden here on his only start. Likely to want 1m or further and is open to marked improvement. Looks the one to beat. Stayed on to snatch 2nd close home in a 7f maiden here four weeks ago; open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (25/1 -233%)Hengist Pod |
25/1(-233%) | (2) Hengist Pod 25/1, Very green and barely raised a gallop when well beaten in a maiden at Chelmsford on his only start. Nicely bred for middle distances and, despite a very poor debut, remains open to significant improvement. Too green to do himself justice on recent debut (1m) but sent off just 3-1; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (80/1 -220%)Pangbourne |
80/1(-220%) | (7) Pangbourne 80/1, Showed little when well beaten in a maiden at Lingfield on her only start. Bred for middle distances and should improve with experience. 33-1, green and always in rear on recent Lingfield debut; big step forward is needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (40/1 -60%)Si White |
40/1(-60%) | (4) Si White 40/1, Never involved when finishing down the field in a maiden at Southwell on his most recent run. Has looked in need of 10f or further and appears a workmanlike sort who should progress steadily. No impact in two 1m maidens this month; middle distances will suit better in time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (66/1 -32%)Belltony |
66/1(-32%) | (1) Belltony 66/1, Massaat gelding; dam very useful at 5f and won on this surface; yard not known for debut winners. First foal of a winning sprinter (RPR 81); likely best watched on this belated debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

TOMMO'S GINJANINJA displayed plenty of promise when filling second place on his debut over 7f here earlier in the month. With the benefit of that experience and this step up in trip, the son of Zoustar should be hard to beat. Hot To Hot has been gelded since his last appearance and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Terranoble.

The betting can provide clues in a trappy event. As things stand, TOMMO'S GINJANINJA is marginally preferred to Hot To Hot.

1st (2) (5/2 +25%)Crockham Heath |
5/2(+25%) | (2) Crockham Heath 5/2, Quickened and improved for debut experience when upped in trip and dropped in class under a positive ride, winning a novice at Southwell by a neck last time. Returns from a short break and is bred to be effective over 8-10f, with improvement likely now handicapping off lenient mark. Made all (1m) at Southwell on 2nd run; open to more improvement up in trip & handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2/1 +40%)Toastmaster |
2/1(+40%) | (1) Toastmaster 2/1, Ran to form on handicap debut when beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Trainer is in form and he returns from a short break. Effective at 7f and acts on all-weather, chance if building on latest. Only second when a strong favourite for a C&D nursery in November; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (18/1 -100%)Florida Suite |
18/1(-100%) | (3) Florida Suite 18/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell two starts ago. Had a chance when the gap closed before being eased when sixth beaten 12l off 70 last time, the same mark here. Effective at 7/8f and acts on all-weather; latest run can be forgiven. Ready Southwell win on nursery debut; latest run excusable; change of headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (6/1 +20%)Phantom Watch |
6/1(+20%) | (4) Phantom Watch 6/1, Made minor late gains when beaten 2/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time. Effective at 8/9f and a longer trip may suit better. Acts on all-weather and has been consistent in this type of company. 0-7 and not progressing; stepping up in trip is not enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/1 -82%)Hardstyle |
5/1(-82%) | (7) Hardstyle 5/1, Scored by 3l off a 5lb lower mark here two starts ago. Suited by trips of 7-9f and acts on all-weather. He remains in good form and looks competitively handicapped. Improving 3yo; came up just short in hat-trick bid last week; stamina not assured. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/1 -50%)Charlotte Corday |
9/1(-50%) | (5) Charlotte Corday 9/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here two starts ago. Had every chance when running to form in third, beaten 2l off 70 last time, and remains on the same mark. Effective at 8/9f, acts on all-weather and is a consistent sort. 8.6f win here in November; good third at Lingfield four weeks ago; in the mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (14/1 +13%)Angry Ant |
14/1(+13%) | (6) Angry Ant 14/1, Ran at least to form when beaten 3/4l in a maiden at Kempton last time. Stays 1m and acts on all-weather, but needs more in handicaps now upped in trip. Potential improver now handicapping but not a guaranteed stayer on pedigree. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

TOASTMASTER only found one too good on his handicap debut over C&D in November and a 1lb rise for that effort may not be enough to stop him from getting off the mark on this occasion. The in-form Hardstyle has to be respected, despite being turned over at odds-on on his hat-trick bid at Lingfield last week. Crockham Heath and Charlotte Corday are others with strong claims.

The twice-raced CROCKHAM HEATH looks open to plenty of improvement stepping up in trip. Hardstyle is best of the rest.

1st (7) (7/1 +42%)Hitched |
7/1(+42%) | (7) Hitched 7/1, Raced a bit freely and was unsuited by how the race developed when beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Effective over 8-10f, with his trainer in form, he has a chance given his consistent level of AW form. Went close over C&D this month and drop to 7f may not have suited last week; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/1 -40%)Farasi Lane |
7/1(-40%) | (8) Farasi Lane 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time. Effective over 7-9f on the all-weather, he looks fairly treated if building on that recent revival, although he remains a risky proposition. Well handicapped and latest C&D third was a step back in the right direction. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/2 +44%)Special Ghaiyyath |
9/2(+44%) | (6) Special Ghaiyyath 9/2, Stopped quickly down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent. He had been in good form prior, returns from a short break, is suited by 1m, but his current mark demands more. Made all in maiden/handicap on turf last year; ran as if amiss final run; may bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (22/1 +12%)Panama Black |
22/1(+12%) | (10) Panama Black 22/1, Another poor effort when the market expected better, beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Doncaster last time. He is described as consistent, but needs to show much more than on that latest run. Steady progress on AW last winter but struggled on turf after; off six months (gelded). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (12/1 -100%)Tribal Wisdom |
12/1(-100%) | (3) Tribal Wisdom 12/1, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark here in December. He raced a bit freely when fourth, beaten 5l off 81 last time, and remains consistent with a mark that still looks competitive. Two C&D wins near the end of 2025 and he has remained in form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (6/1 +0%)Cristo |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Cristo 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. He had been in good form beforehand, is effective over 7-10f, and remains in form, although the handicapper may now have caught up. Pair of 1m2f Chelmsford wins last spring but well held on recent reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (9/2 +36%)Borgi |
9/2(+36%) | (4) Borgi 9/2, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Returning from a short break, he is suited by 8f, has most of his form on the all-weather, and continues to run consistently. Dual C&D scorer; no win since July 2024 but not far away in recent starts; place squeak. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (9/2 +0%)City Of God |
9/2(+0%) | (5) City Of God 9/2, Slowly away, outpaced and outclassed when well beaten in a handicap at Musselburgh latest. Effective over 7-8f, he had been consistent beforehand and must bounce back after a break. Absent for eight months but this low-mileage sort from top yard did well on AW last winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (7/1 +30%)Uniting |
7/1(+30%) | (9) Uniting 7/1, Won by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back. Effective over 7-8f, he had been in form until latest, with his penultimate effort franked, and could bounce back. Two 1m AW wins in November; not disgraced in Class 2 latest; player back in lower grade. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Cases can be made for most of these, but marginal preference is for EPICTETUS. Jamie Osborne's gelding was a close third over C&D two weeks ago and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Hitched was a place in front of him that day, but did not match that level when fifth at Southwell last week. Tribal Wisdom and Farasi Lane are others to note.

The suggestion is UNITING who wasn't disgraced in a Class 2 last time and should find life a bit easier back in this lower grade.

1st (2) (5/1 +17%)Three Non Blondes |
5/1(+17%) | (2) Three Non Blondes 5/1, Ran to form when second, beaten a neck, in a novice at Newcastle last time. Suited by 6f and effective on all-weather. Has shown a consistent level of form and could take advantage of lenient opening mark. Won then second in 6f novices in recent weeks; should stay 7f; respected handicap newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/2 +25%)Marseillan |
9/2(+25%) | (6) Marseillan 9/2, Ran to form when tried in blinkers and winning a novice at Lingfield by 1 1/4l last time. Suited by 7f on all-weather and won with a little in hand last time. Looks well treated back in a handicap so should go well. Second to Illy's Roo at Chelmsford before winning a 7f Lingfield novice; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +33%)Balthamos |
4/1(+33%) | (3) Balthamos 4/1, Too free early off a slow pace but ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time. Trainer is in form and he remains on a competitive mark. Placed in 7f handicaps last twice but now 0-8 and may be vulnerable to improvers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (33/1 -136%)Urgent Call |
33/1(-136%) | (1) Urgent Call 33/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back. Effective at 7/8f. Disappointing on his last two starts and the effect of the headgear may have receded. Won in first-time cheekpieces in November but the headgear hasn't worked twice since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (3/1 -20%)Because We Can |
3/1(-20%) | (7) Because We Can 3/1, Visored and very keen but still improved up in trip when landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark here last time. Suited by 7f and may progress further if settling. Pulled hard on C&D handicap debut, so encouraging he was able to win; can defy 4lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (4/1 +56%)Chief Red Wing |
4/1(+56%) | (5) Chief Red Wing 4/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 3/4l, in a maiden at Chelmsford last time proving stamina for 7f. Returns from a short break and has some speed in his pedigree, with a bit more to come now handicapping. Only fourth when 5-4 in AW maiden latest but seemingly thought capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (9/1 +10%)Illy's Roo |
9/1(+10%) | (4) Illy's Roo 9/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Chelmsford on his penultimate start. May not have stayed up in trip when fourth, beaten 10l, last time and returns to a shorter distance. Saw off Marseillan to win over 7f last month; excuses over 1m since; claims back at 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (16/1 -78%)My Shagaf |
16/1(-78%) | (8) My Shagaf 16/1, Stayed up in trip and ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Southwell last time. Blinkers are applied for the first time and she remains consistent. Wandered and faded into third over 1m latest; drop to 7f and addition of blinkers may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (28/1 -180%)Fermain |
28/1(-180%) | (9) Fermain 28/1, Tongue-tied and stayed up to 1m when running to form in a 7 1/4l third in a handicap at Southwell last time. Cheekpieces are tried for the first time and she remains consistent. Made all in 6f turf novice in October but no joy in handicaps since; cheekpieces go on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Although thwarted in her bid to complete a double when runner-up at Newcastle, THREE NON BLONDES lost little in defeat. An official rating of 74 looks workable on her handicap bow and she may take this step up in trip in her stride. Because We Can opened his account over C&D and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid, with fellow last-time-out winner Marseillan another key player.

The style of BECAUSE WE CAN's recent C&D handicap debut success suggests he can cope with a 4lb rise.

1st (1) (5/2 +58%)Papa Cocktail |
5/2(+58%) | (1) Papa Cocktail 5/2, Short of room, ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time. Suited by 6f and generally consistent, with that latest effort suggesting he remains competitive at this level. Consistent since last summer, including two wins; fair fourth at Southwell (6f) last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (7/1 -40%)Water Of Leith |
7/1(-40%) | (9) Water Of Leith 7/1, Too much to do after meeting trouble when beaten 2 1/2l off this mark here last time. Effective at 5f and 6f, his mark is easing and he could build on that latest run. Needs things to go right but two recent eyecatching C&D runs suggest he can win if they do. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/1 -29%)Ziggy's Queen |
9/1(-29%) | (4) Ziggy's Queen 9/1, Scored by a short-head off a 4lb lower mark here on her penultimate start. Ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/2l off 71 last time; 1lb higher now, wide draw, and remains fairly treated. Two C&D wins last year, latterly in December; good second at Chelmsford latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (9/2 +25%)Expert Agent |
9/2(+25%) | (8) Expert Agent 9/2, Too much to do after blowing the start when beaten a length off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Suited by 6f, now below his last winning mark and could build on that effort. 4lb below last win mark; caught the eye when running on for fourth at Kempton last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/2 -27%)Sam's Hope |
7/2(-27%) | (3) Sam's Hope 7/2, Well treated up 5lb, ran to form when landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Effective at 5f and 6f and well treated for a hat-trick bid. Plenty to spare again at Southwell last week and can complete the hat-trick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (12/1 -100%)Lovat Scout |
12/1(-100%) | (7) Lovat Scout 12/1, Scored by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell in November. Bit free but ran to form when second, beaten 3/4l off 70 last time; same mark here and that effort has been boosted. Second over 6f at Southwell under Jack Nicholls last time; same mark today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (11/2 +15%)Em Four |
11/2(+15%) | (2) Em Four 11/2, Scored by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Chelmsford three starts back. Ran to form when second, beaten 1/2l off 74 last time, same mark here; trainer in form, though drawn wide. Three wins in 2025 and notched another this month; also good second at Kempton last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (12/1 +0%)Fiscal Policy |
12/1(+0%) | (5) Fiscal Policy 12/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Best at 6f but remains out of form at present and needs to show more to figure. Six-time AW winner but recent efforts don't suggest he's likely to add to his tally today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (80/1 -21%)Monotone |
80/1(-21%) | (6) Monotone 80/1, Again below form when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Effective between 5f and 7f, but although his mark is falling, he remains hard to fancy on recent efforts. Down the field in three 7f runs for new yard; visored first time; plenty to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

SAM'S HOPE had little difficulty in completing a double at Southwell and she should take all the beating on this quick turnaround. The six-year-old is 5lb well-in and has plenty going for her as a dual C&D winner. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Ziggy's Queen, who arrives on the back of a decent second at Chelmsford. Em Four and Lovat Scout cannot be dismissed in their current heart either.

It's tough to ignore the claims of SAM'S HOPE (nap), who had plenty to spare again at Southwell last week and can complete a hat-trick.

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.
