1st (19)  (28/1 +7%)Doctor Khan Junior |
28/1(+7%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Doctor Khan Junior 28/1, Little to shout about first 4 starts but totally different proposition equipped with first-time visor when off the mark at Newcastle (6f) 19 days ago, finding plenty for pressure. More on his plate in this deeper contest but he remains low mileage at least. Took well to first-time visor on latest start; still unexposed. |
|||
2nd (5)  (40/1 -43%)Motagally |
40/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Motagally 40/1, All 5 career victories gained at sprint trips but record for present yard is distinctly patchy, running poorly on back of 9 weeks off in big field C&D handicap 8 days ago. Handicapper has given him a chance if refitting of blinkers perks him up. Never landed a blow over C&D last week; opposed. |
|||
3rd (2)  (6/1 -9%)Maywake |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Maywake 6/1, Big effort when landing this race on return 12 months ago before the wheels come off in handful of outings thereafter. However, encouraging signs upon returning this spring, coming from much further back than pair who beat him at Musselburgh (7f). Interesting operating from last winning mark. Won this race off this mark 12 months ago; respected back here. |
|||
4th (6)  (9/1 +36%)La Maquina |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) La Maquina 9/1, Multiple 7f winner who largely run with credit campaigned over longer trips on turf/AW last year for George Baker. Changed hands for just £1,500 in March but he may yet have something to offer judged on his midfield Ascot effort 2 weeks ago. Tongue tie back on. Returns to a suitable scenario on second run for new yard. |
|||
5th (3)  (3.5/1 +42%)Another Investment |
3.5/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Another Investment 3.5/1, Course winner as a juvenile who produced easily his best effort of the campaign when third in a C&D handicap 8 days ago, feasible to think he'd of doubled his career tally with a smoother passage. Clearly on a handy mark if he can back that up here. Close third of 20 in C&D handicap last week; in the mix. |
|||
6th (12)  (9/1 +44%)Intercessor |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Intercessor 9/1, Enjoyed a productive campaign last season, winning 3 times at around 8.5f. Better for reappearance run with placed efforts at Brighton/Haydock in recent weeks but the assessor may just have him about right on balance. Placed twice since dropped to 7f; each-way possibilities. |
|||
7th (4)  (8/1 +33%)Quick Change |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Quick Change 8/1, Largely progressive filly who made it 2 wins from 4 starts last season at Haydock (1m) last June. That form worked out particularly well and highly likely she'll come forward from her reappearance run at Newcastle (1m) in March. One to consider. Form dipped on sole run this year; progressive otherwise. |
|||
8th (15)  (50/1 -52%)Magical Max |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Magical Max 50/1, Course winner who arrives on a losing run but ran well to prove himself at this trip when third at Chelmsford (7f) in March. However, his record is a patchy one and he did too much too soon equipped with first-time blinkers (discarded here) when last of 6 at Wolverhampton later that month. On a handy mark but losing spell goes back to 2019. |
|||
9th (16)  (5.5/1 -10%)Albeseeingyer |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Albeseeingyer 5.5/1, Thriving filly who rattled off quick-fire hat-trick in 7f handicaps last summer and continued on the up this spring, bagging handicaps at Doncaster/Leicester in good style. Assessor applies further pressure but manner of latest success suggests there's more to come. Shortlisted. Has form figures of 511111 in handicaps; progressive filly. |
|||
10th (1)  (10/1 +29%)Eldrickjones |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Eldrickjones 10/1, Sole success to date came in 4-runner Pontefract maiden (6f) in summer 2021. Essentially struggled to make an impact in handicaps last term but mark has eased considerably and he could sharpen up for his midfield reappearance effort at Newcastle (7f) 3 weeks ago. Poor strike-rate but could go well off a reduced mark. |
|||
11th (8)  (18/1 +10%)Golden Apollo |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Golden Apollo 18/1, Ended lengthy losing run at Haydock (7f) last July and scored twice at 6f thereafter, latterly at Southwell in October. Not yet hit peak form in 2 starts so far this campaign and this 9-y-o may just need a little more respite from the assessor. Midfield over C&D last week; others preferred. |
|||
12th (18)  (12/1 -20%)Ey Up Its The Boss |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Ey Up Its The Boss 12/1, Improved performer equipped with cheekpieces last term, completing quick-fire hat-trick in 7f handicaps before the assessor seemingly caught up with him. Gradually working way back to fitness in trio of starts this time around and return to this quicker surface rates a plus. Return to faster ground looks ideal; has C&D form; interesting. |
|||
13th (14)  (50/1 -25%)Beauty Choice |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Beauty Choice 50/1, Fairly useful handicapper who opened his account for William Jarvis at Wolverhampton (6f) in October. Easy to back, shaped as if he'd come on for the run on yard debut at Catterick (7f) last month but this looks tougher again. On a competitive mark; second start for new stable. |
|||
14th (17)  (22/1 +33%)Floral Splendour |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Floral Splendour 22/1, Haydock maiden winner (7f) on debut last summer. Matched rather than built on that thereafter and he needs to show the benefit of his reappearance run at Musselburgh recently if he's to figure here. Inconsistent form since debut win; others preferred. |
|||
15th (13)  (22/1 -57%)Finbar's Lad |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Finbar's Lad 22/1, Low-mileage sort who left was much-improved and caused a shock to score at odds of 40/1 in a Redcar maiden (7f) last summer. Similar form when fourth under a penalty at Southwell in August and he could yet do better now handicapping on return/debut for new yard. Market should guide. Still unexposed; heed the market signals on stable debut. |
|||
16th (11)  (14/1 -75%)Bicep |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Bicep 14/1, Landed back-to-back handicaps at Musselburgh (7f) in August prior to a good fourth at Carlisle (6.9f) on final start. Returned from 8 months off at the top of his game when adding to his tally at first-named venue 12 days ago but this understandably demands more from him now. Has form figures of 1141 since upped to 7f; not dismissed. |
|||
17th (10)  (33/1 -18%)Amaysmont |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Amaysmont 33/1, Ended time with Richard Fahey with respectable efforts on AW last year and not seen to best effect in couple of starts for new yard around the turn of the year and he's probably best watched on back of a break given he's a more reliable proposition on AW. Not crying out for this drop back to 7f. |
|||
18th (9)  (50/1 -43%)Muntadab |
50/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Muntadab 50/1, Veteran campaigner who bagged another victory at Musselburgh (7f) in October and confirmed he still has something to offer when third in 7-runner Doncaster handicap (7f) on third start back 21 days ago. Still, this may prove a shade competitive. Veteran who looks vulnerable back in a deeper field. |
|||
19th (7)  (28/1 -40%)Island Bandit |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Island Bandit 28/1, Reacted well to blinkers when notching up a 1m turf hat-trick last summer. Also went close on AW in October. Possible this run may bring him on following 6 months off, however. Something to prove back down in trip on reappearance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Albeseeingyer hasn't looked back since winning on her second appearance in a handicap and arrives chasing a remarkable six-timer. Steph Hollinshead's filly has been hit with a 9lb hike for her latest romp at Leicester, though, and may be worth taking on with ANOTHER INVESTMENT, who finished third over C&D last week and a 2lb rise might not be enough to prevent a first success of the season. Cheekpieces may eke some improvement out of Maywake, while improving Musselburgh winner Bicep can't be ruled out either.
A good winner on her final start at Haydock last season (strong form) QUICK CHANGE shaped as though she'd come on for her reappearance run on the all-weather at Newcastle in March and, appealing as still being on a handy mark, it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing back on turf. The prolific Albeseeingyer arrives in search of a remarkable 6-timer and is a threat, along with last year's winner Maywake. Ey Up Its The Boss and Another Investment can also feature.
Off a workable mark returned to better ground, EY UP ITS THE BOSS gets the vote. Albeseeingyer is feared most.

(3)  (1.38/1 +0%)The Line |
1.38/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Line 1.38/1, Caravaggio colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Mild Illusion. Displayed plenty of ability amidst inexperience when third in 5-runner Ascot conditions' event (5f) on debut 24 days ago and he's very much the type to build on that. Big player. Promising third, behind previous winners, in conditions stakes at Ascot; leading claims. |
|||
1st (1)  (10/1 -11%)Native American |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Native American 10/1, Foaled March 25. €12,000 foal, €75,000 yearling, Sioux Nation colt. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 7f winner Dubai Waves. Dam maiden half-sister to smart 11f-1¾m winner (stayed 2m) Tenenbaum. Interesting newcomer. 75,000euros yearling; Sioux Nation half-brother to two winners; check the betting. |
|||
2nd (4)  (6.5/1 +19%)Ticktyboo |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ticktyboo 6.5/1, 100,000 gns breeze-up purchase who makes some appeal on paper showed a bit when fifth in 10-runner C&D maiden on debut 9 days ago, pushed along over 2f out and running green. Stable's runners usually derive plenty from their first outing and likely there's better to come. Showed some promise in C&D maiden last week; possibilities if building on that effort. |
|||
3rd (5)  (6/1 +14%)Batal Zabeel |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Batal Zabeel 6/1, Foaled March 3. Territories colt. Dam unraced out of useful 11.7f/12.4f winner Crystal Diamond. In form yard have made a bright start with their juveniles and market confidence behind him would need to be viewed positively. Territories colt; trainer had a winning 2yo newcomer here last week; interesting. |
|||
4th (2)  (14/1 -27%)Salamanca Lad |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Salamanca Lad 14/1, Foaled April 17. €20,000 foal, €75,000 yearling, Profitable colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7.4f/1m winner Urban War and 7f winner Ireland Moon. Dam unraced. Betting should prove useful with yard also saddling Native American. 75,000euros yearling; by Profitable; stablemate of Native American; market helpful. |
|||
5th (6)  (9/1 +0%)Mbappe |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mbappe 9/1, Foaled April 1. 43,000 gns yearling, Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winners Ultra Violet and Arion Fox. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 1¼m. Makes appeal on paper and interesting what the market makes of him on debut. 43,000gns yearling; Blue Point half-brother to two 6f 2yo winners; looks a likely type. |
|||
6th (10)  (9/1 -80%)Sayidh Kingman |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sayidh Kingman 9/1, Foaled March 12. 75,000 gns yearling, Kingman filly. 7/1, showed ability amidst inexperience when sixth in 8-runner Newmarket maiden (5f) 3 weeks ago and she promises to do better with that under her belt now stepping up to 6f. Seemed to need the run at Newmarket three weeks ago; open to improvement. |
|||
7th (7)  (22/1 -57%)Mister Gan |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mister Gan 22/1, Foaled March 12. £32,000 yearling, £60,000 2-y-o, Invincible Army colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 1½m), closely related to very smart 5f-7f winner Make A Challenge. £60,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; by Invincible Army; check the betting. |
|||
8th (9)  (100/1 -100%)Socialise |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Socialise 100/1, Advertise gelding who looks a longer-term project judged on his exploits in pair of maidens at up to 6f in recent months. Modest RPRs in a couple of races, latest here behind Ticktyboo. |
|||
9th (8)  (66/1 -65%)Showboated |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Showboated 66/1, Foaled March 27. Showcasing colt. Dam, unraced, closely related to useful 2-y-o 7f/7.4f winner Walk In Marrakesh. Probably best watched on racecourse bow. Showcasing colt; one of three runners for this yard; market helpful. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
THE LINE did plenty wrong on his debut at Ascot, but to only be beaten three lengths was an achievement in itself and the way he finished his race suggested that he will be well suited by going up in trip. The son of Caravaggio gets the vote ahead of Ticktyboo, who didn't get the clearest of runs on his introduction over C&D. Batal Zabeel is interesting for a local stable that has had first-time-out winners here before.
THE LINE displayed plenty of ability amidst inexperience when third in an Ascot conditions' event on debut 24 days ago and he can build on that here and come out on top. Kevin Ryan has made a bright start with his juveniles and his newcomer Batal Zabeel is worth a look. Sayidh Kingman and Ticktyboo are a couple of others also worthy of note.
As regards the runners with experience, THE LINE appears to have the best chance. Mbappe is first choice among the newcomers.

1st (2)  (12/1 -9%)Chipstead |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chipstead 12/1, Better than ever last year, winning 5f Sandown and Catterick handicaps (first past the post in the Portland in between). Needs to cast aside a poor run in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket on return but that's possible now returning to handicap company. Improved steadily last season but will need another career best to return to winning ways. |
|||
2nd (7)  (6.5/1 -8%)Mondammej |
6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mondammej 6.5/1, Losing run dates back to 2021 but he's dropped below his last successful mark and shaped as if back in form when fourth in 13-runner handicap over C&D (firm) 9 days ago. Has to be of interest. Quirky but well handicapped; shaped as if coming to hand here last time; considered. |
|||
3rd (3)  (6.5/1 +41%)Fine Wine |
6.5/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fine Wine 6.5/1, Came back thriving from a break when landing a brace of AW events at the end of 2022, namely a handicap and conditions event. Went off too hard at Newcastle on most recent outing and needs to resume progress now back on turf. Tough 5f performer; current mark probably demands a personal best but he must be respected. |
|||
4th (12)  (33/1 +0%)Spring Is Sprung |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Spring Is Sprung 33/1, Won a 6f handicap on his 2022 reappearance. Found life tougher later in the year but ran creditably on first outing since leaving Michael Bell after 5 months off (sold for 45,000 gns) when fourth in 12-runner event at Southwell (5f) 57 days ago. On a competitive mark and not ruled out back on turf. Some encouragement on stable debut; off two months since; worth monitoring in the market. |
|||
5th (8)  (20/1 +0%)Burning Cash |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Burning Cash 20/1, Won twice at Doncaster (5f) from similar marks last summer and possibly still needed the run when down the field at Newmarket (5f, soft) last time. Not without hope. Drying ground will suit; slipping in the weights and looks the pick of Paul Midgley's pair. |
|||
6th (5)  (4/1 +38%)Bedford Flyer |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bedford Flyer 4/1, Blitzed his rivals returned to the AW at Southwell in November and posted another cracking effort when second at Wolverhampton a month later. Below par next 2 outings but shaped well on first run for new yard when third of 13 over C&D 9 days ago. Respected off same mark. Closely matched with Korker on last week's C&D third; may build on that; major player. |
|||
7th (6)  (16/1 +11%)Zarzyni |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Zarzyni 16/1, Ended last season with a couple of below-par efforts but shaped as if better for the run when fifth of 13 in 5f handicap at Musselburgh on reappearance 49 days ago. Now 3 lb below last winning mark, so merits consideration. Went off the boil as 5yo but more promise on return; can play leading role if back on song. |
|||
8th (4)  (11/1 +31%)Alligator Alley |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Alligator Alley 11/1, Completed AW hat-trick at Southwell in January. A bit below his best since though, running a typical race back on turf when sixth of 13 over C&D 9 days ago. Sixth of 13 over C&D last Thursday; could make frame but others appeal more for the win. |
|||
9th (14)  (18/1 -13%)Reigning Profit |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Reigning Profit 18/1, Has hit the ground running this year, making it 3 wins from 5 starts in 6-runner handicap at Ripon (5f, heavy) 15 days ago, always holding on. More needed back up in grade, though. Thriving, last three wins in less than a month; must prove himself on this quicker ground. |
|||
10th (9)  (22/1 -38%)Copper Knight |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Copper Knight 22/1, Veteran sprinter who has been a fine servant for connections, winning 6 times over this C&D, including this race in 2017. Shaped okay when fourth at Pontefract on reappearance but has run below that form both starts since. Won this in 2017 but isn't quite the force of old and was only ninth over C&D last time. |
|||
11th (1)  (3.33/1 -11%)Korker |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Korker 3.33/1, Prone to slow starts but a classy sprinter when it all clicks and stepped up on his reappearance when second in 13-runner C&D handicap (firm) 9 days ago, faring best of those held up. Nudged up 3 lb but still firmly in the mix. Had several of these behind him when second of 13 over C&D nine days ago; big chance. |
|||
12th (10)  (22/1 -57%)Music Society |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Music Society 22/1, Fairly useful performer who was all the better for his reappearance when runner-up at Thirsk and found only one too good again back at that venue 9 days later. Likely to continue in form. Arrives in form but conditions may place the emphasis too much on speed. |
|||
13th (11)  (16/1 +20%)Squealer |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Squealer 16/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark down in grade over C&D in September and followed up at Beverley later in the month. Signed off with a solid sixth in Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket and shaped as if needing the run when well held on handicap debut/return at Chester in the mud. Tailed off on reappearance and probably faces a stern assignment against his elders. |
|||
14th (13)  (28/1 -75%)Sound Of Iona |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Sound Of Iona 28/1, Caught the eye under a change of tactics back over the minimum trip when fifth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 12 days ago, not clear run over 1f out. This mark probably isn't beyond her. Encouraging fifth at Musselburgh; goes well for Amie Waugh; could go close at a price. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Korker is an obvious contender after a solid second at the Dante meeting, but he has an added 3lb now and will need to start better. FINE WINE tried making all before weakening over a furlong further at Newcastle and if he can repeat that from a good draw, he may take some catching. Copper Knight loves it here and is hard to ignore, while Music Society deserves another win after an unlucky second at Thirsk.
A typically competitive sprint handicap. MONDAMMEJ has dropped below his last successful mark and looked back in form when fourth over C&D last week, so he's taken to strike. Korker fared best of those held up when finishing ahead of the selection last time but is now 5 lb worse off at the weights with that rival so may struggle to confirm the form. Zarzyni is another to consider with his reappearance under his belt.
Korker caught the eye when second over C&D last time but preference is for BEDFORD FLYER (nap), third that day and 3lb better off.

1st (5)  (4/1 +20%)River Of Stars |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) River Of Stars 4/1, Useful filly who improved again when landing a listed contest at Chester last August and wasn't disgraced when fifth in the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster next time. Solid claims back down in grade after 8 months off. Progressive sort; Listed winner over 1m6f; Park Hill effort can be upgraded; respected. |
|||
2nd (1)  (3/1 -33%)Mimikyu |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mimikyu 3/1, Improved massively fitted with a hood when decisively seeing off Eshaada and 6 other rivals in the Park Hill Stakes in September and unsuited by the way things developed in Fillies' & Mares' Stakes at Ascot on final outing. Remains with potential as a 4yo and makes plenty of appeal. Won last year's Park Hill on sole start at about 1m6f; leading player even with a penalty. |
|||
3rd (8)  (14/1 +0%)Voodoo Queen |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Voodoo Queen 14/1, Useful filly who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth in a listed contest at Goodwood last time. Needs to improve to feature in this, though. Goodwood reappearance suggests she's ready for a crack at this new trip; may improve. |

4th (7)  (12/1 +14%)Typewriter |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Typewriter 12/1, Useful form, including when placed in 2 listed races at Chester last year. Excellent fourth in handicap here last time, finishing well, and she's not completely dismissed up in grade. Good fourth in warm 1m4f handicap here last week; could go well again. |
|||
5th (4)  (7.5/1 +6%)One Evening |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) One Evening 7.5/1, Won 13-runner maiden (7/2) at Kempton (11f) on return from a year off last autumn and improved further when fifth in a listed contest at Lingfield 7 months ago. Type to make a better 4yo, so worthy of interest. Thrice-raced daughter of Galileo; could well improve further this season; interesting. |
|||
6th (9)  (12/1 +25%)Wickywickywheels |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Wickywickywheels 12/1, Five-time winner at Hamilton and wasn't discredited in a handicap there 8 days ago. Has gained all British wins at Hamilton; bit to prove in this new scenario. |
|||
7th (6)  (5.5/1 +27%)Sea Flawless |
5.5/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sea Flawless 5.5/1, Sea The Stars filly who impressively landed the odds in 6-runner minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) in February. Bumped into one at Lingfield next time but had no trouble doubling her tally in ready fashion at Beverley a month ago. Up in trip/grade now, but can't be ruled out with more to come. Late developer who is 2-3 in novice events this year; has potential; one to consider. |
|||
8th (2)  (10/1 +17%)Alaroos |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Alaroos 10/1, Reached quite a useful level in Ireland for Kevin Prendergast last year and returned with a solid showing when seventh in listed company at Goodwood on debut for new yard. Needs to improve to make her presence felt at this level. Having second run for new yard and may improve provided she stays this new trip. |
|||
9th (3)  (8/1 +27%)Moon Daisy |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moon Daisy 8/1, Useful mare. Good 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Yashin in Saval Beg Levmoss Stakes (50/1) at Leopardstown (14f, good) 8 days ago, very slowly away. Not out of place in a race of this nature. Largely consistent and has Group form but is more exposed than most of these rivals. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Mimikyu will be difficult to beat if running to anywhere near the level that saw her land the Park Hill at Doncaster last September, but a chance is taken on SEA FLAWLESS. The daughter of Sea The Stars, a full-sister to the talented Al Aasy, was a comfortable winner at Beverley last month. It's interesting that William Haggas wastes no time pitching her in at Group level, and a further step up in trip should aid her cause. River Of Stars can chase them home.
MIMIKYU improved to land the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster on her penultimate outing last season and is best excused her subsequent effort in the Fillies' & Mares' Stakes at Ascot next time, so she's fancied to make a successful return back down in grade. Her stablemate One Evening boasts a progressive profile and is feared, while River of Stars deserves respect.
Mimikyu has the best form but fast ground presents a question mark. RIVER OF STARS is first choice ahead of One Evening.

1st (4)  (8/1 +0%)Starnberg |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Starnberg 8/1, Still a maiden after 7 starts but his reappearance second in 1m Nottingham handicap shows he can be very competitive from his mark. Should be fine back at 7f. No extra after travelling best when second over 1m on return; the drop back to 7f may suit. |
|||
2nd (6)  (7/1 +50%)Monopolise |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Monopolise 7/1, Ended 2022 with a pair of nursery wins. Creditable third on 7f Kempton reappearance and shaped as if still in form when fifth of 17 at Newmarket since. Two wins for Saffie Osborne last autumn; better than bare result last time; interesting. |
|||
3rd (14)  (20/1 +0%)Tasever |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Tasever 20/1, Fair maiden. Good 4 lengths second of 8 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft) on reappearance and respectable fourth at Chester (6f) since. Tackles 7f for the first time now. Not disgraced when fourth at Chester but needs to improve for today's step up in distance. |
|||
4th (8)  (25/1 +38%)Craven |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Craven 25/1, Promising second on first 2 outings last year but last seen finishing well held in a C&D nursery at the Ebor meeting. Cheekpieces worn on that occasion are replaced by a first-time visor on reappearance. Went wrong way as 2yo; new headgear today; stable has more obvious claims with River Usk. |
|||
5th (3)  (9/1 -38%)Five Towns |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Five Towns 9/1, Came good at the third time of asking when seeing off 10 rivals in 7f Kempton novice in October. Switches to handicap company on return. Respected as an unexposed sort from a leading yard but her draw isn't ideal. Marked improvement to win Kempton novice last autumn; interesting on handicap debut. |
|||
6th (11)  (14/1 -40%)American Affair |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) American Affair 14/1, Left first 2 efforts over sprint trips well behind when winning a 7f Wetherby novice recently. Had a bit up his sleeve and further progress is on the cards now moving into handicaps. Draw could have been kinder. Wetherby win has already been boosted; should do better still now handicapping. |
|||
7th (10)  (9/1 -38%)Harlem Nights |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Harlem Nights 9/1, Stepped up on his juvenile form when making a successful reappearance in 7f Wolverhampton handicap last month. Won going away and respected up 4 lb. Gelded, improved to win at Wolverhampton on reappearance; not overburdened with a 4lb rise. |
|||
8th (5)  (18/1 -13%)Zabbie |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Zabbie 18/1, Fair 7f winning juvenile who has run well in handicaps at Goodwood (7f) and Newmarket (1m) this month. Bit more needed to resume winning ways, though. In form and ought to be thereabouts again but others appeal more for the win. |
|||
9th (12)  (25/1 +38%)Impulsive Reaction |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Impulsive Reaction 25/1, Won a maiden over this trip at 2 but needs to shrug off a below-par reappearance run at Ripon (1m) last month. Ended 2022 out of form and didn't beat a rival on reappearance at Ripon. |
|||
10th (2)  (3.5/1 +36%)Verdansk |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Verdansk 3.5/1, Fairly useful form, shaping well when third of 8 on 7f Newmarket handicap debut on reappearance, fading in the closing stages under testing ground conditions. Could see things out better on this quicker surface. Considered. Reappearance third at Newmarket was perfectly respectable; should be at concert pitch now. |
|||
11th (7)  (10/1 -122%)River Usk |
10/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) River Usk 10/1, Built on a good reappearance run at Catterick when off the mark in 7.5f Beverley handicap 26 days ago. Well on top at the finish and still of interest despite an 8 lb rise. Comfortable Beverley scorer; capable of another big run if handling today's quicker ground. |
|||
12th (1)  (4.5/1 +25%)Tellus |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tellus 4.5/1, Off the mark in 6f Pontefract novice on reappearance and improved again to make a successful handicap debut at Ayr (7f, good) 19 days ago. Had a bit in hand and 4 lb rise doesn't look enough prevent another prominent showing. 2-2 this year, cosy scorer at Ayr last time; may not have reached her ceiling just yet. |
|||
13th (9)  (14/1 -27%)Concert Boy |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Concert Boy 14/1, Left his previous efforts behind when winning 7f Newcastle handicap 19 days ago, coming through the rear to lead in the closing stages. His useful pedigree provides hope that he can build on that. Came from rear to score at Newcastle; unexposed and high on the list. |
|||
14th (13)  (66/1 -65%)Saleet |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Saleet 66/1, Carlisle novice winner last summer. Didn't shape too badly when sixth of 11 on 6f Ripon reappearance, racing on the unfavoured side of the track. Return to 7f should suit. Not discounted. Hasn't had the rub of the green of late; could go well at a price. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A typically competitive Knavesmire handicap might suit the lightly-raced VERDANSK, whose previous form has a solid feel to it and this son of No Nay Never remains unexposed on only his second start in a handicap. He was a good third at Newmarket on his reappearance and this slightly easier level could work in his favour. Recent Ayr winner Tellus is holding her form and can go well again, despite running off 4lb higher, while Five Towns, Starnberg and River Usk also warrant consideration.
VERDANSK just seemed to get found out by this trip on heavy ground on his Newmarket reappearance but it's reasonable to think that he'll be stronger at the finish with an outing under his belt and back on a sounder surface so he could prove the answer to this competitive 3-y-o handicap. The hat-trick seeking Tellus had a bit to spare on her Ayr handicap debut last time and is feared most ahead of River Usk and Harlem Nights.
The vote goes to MONOPOLISE, now reunited with Saffie Osborne after shaping nicely on his latest start. Verdansk is second choice.

1st (5)  (3.33/1 +26%)Quantum Impact |
3.33/1(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Quantum Impact 3.33/1, Opened his account with something in hand at Pontefract in September. Much improved when following up on nursery debut at Newbury (6f, heavy) 5 weeks later and respectable return when fourth at Goodwood. Longer trip should suit and needs considering. Doesn't appear to be crying out for this step up to 1m; may get outstayed. |
|||
2nd (8)  (5/1 +23%)Theme Park |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Theme Park 5/1, Looked promising when winning 7f novice event at Kempton in September on his final run for Sir Michael Stoute. Changed hands for 200,000gns but disappointed when only fifth in 1m Redcar novice on return. However, much better when sixth on handicap bow here (7f) 10 days ago and longer trip will suit. Ran well in 7f handicap here last week on second start for new yard; one to consider. |
|||
3rd (4)  (5.5/1 -57%)Saxon King |
5.5/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Saxon King 5.5/1, Put his experience to good use to open his account at the fourth attempt at Haydock (1m, heavy) and took his form to another level when making a winning return at Newmarket (soft) on handicap bow, again making all and beating a subsequent winner. High on shortlist. 2-2 since upped to 1m, winning on soft/heavy; big player if coping with faster surface. |
|||
4th (3)  (14/1 -40%)Sceptic |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sceptic 14/1, Promise when fourth of 13 in a backend Newmarket maiden and, having been gelded during the winter, improved when landing a 7f Lingfield maiden (AW) on return in March. Not disgraced in a warm class 2 at Goodwood since but opening mark demands more. Difficult task last time; has a more realistic chance on handicap debut; not ruled out. |
|||
5th (7)  (8/1 +71%)Metahorse |
8/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Metahorse 8/1, Recorded successive victories last July, winning 3-runner event on nursery debut at Thirsk (7f). In and out after, though latest second in this headgear at Doncaster was decent, albeit no match for Maximilian Caesar. Gets a 10lb pull with Maximilian Caesar and the return to faster ground looks ideal. |
|||
6th (6)  (9/1 +25%)Feel The Need |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Feel The Need 9/1, Fairly useful 7f juvenile winner who resumed after 7 months off/gelded with an excellent second of six in 7.5f Beverley handicap. However, didn't impress with head carriage when fourth at Haydock 2 weeks ago. Has frame possibilities judged on his two efforts this season. |
|||
7th (2)  (50/1 -67%)Dubai Jemila |
50/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dubai Jemila 50/1, Expensive breeze-up acquisition who opened her account at the second time of asking in a novice at Ayr (7.2f) in August. Never landed a blow in the Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket before no show in Nell Gwyn there on return. Opening mark looks plenty high enough. Finished last in the Nell Gwyn but may be capable of progress now back down in class. |
|||
8th (10)  (16/1 -78%)Reidh |
16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Reidh 16/1, Fair form shown when in the frame in novices at Thirsk (7f) and Ayr (1m) last autumn and in a Pontefract maiden on return. Needs to improve now handicapping, however. Handicap debutant who looks well treated on his 2yo efforts; interesting contender. |
|||
9th (9)  (9/1 +0%)Spioradalta |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Spioradalta 9/1, Quickly got back on the up when winning 5-runner handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 14 days ago, sticking to task. Respected up 3 lb. Recent win at Nottingham came in Class 5 on soft ground; this is a different scenario. |
|||
10th (1)  (6/1 -80%)Maximilian Caesar |
6/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Maximilian Caesar 6/1, Had a solid juvenile campaign and relished the testing conditions to run out a wide-margin winner in handicap at Doncaster on return. 9 lb rise looks fair and won on fast ground as a 2-y-o, so should make another bold bid. Gelded prior to wide-margin win at Doncaster (beat Metahorse); open to further progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A case can be made for several of these but a chance is taken one SCEPTIC, a 260,000gns yearling who makes his handicap debut following a disappointing run in a conditions stakes at Goodwood earlier this month. He is a half-brother to Listed-placed Magical Journey and mile winner New York Angel, so the Lingfield maiden winner looks capable of bouncing back for powerful connections. Maximilian Caesar bolted up over this trip at Doncaster most recently and is feared off 9lb higher, while Dubai Jemila and Saxon King add further spice to the race.
MAXIMILIAN CAESAR powered clear in the style of a useful performer when a wide-margin winner at Doncaster on his return 3 weeks ago and can defy a 9 lb rise. The improving Saxon King is the obvious threat going for the hat-trick, while Quantum Impact should come on for his comeback run at Goodwood given his progress as a juvenile.
Based on 2yo form REIDH is very tempting off a mark of 78. The suggested second choice is Theme Park.

1st (1)  (7.5/1 +25%)Shining Blue |
7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shining Blue 7.5/1, Four-time winner not seen to best effect in Meydan 12 weeks ago, caught out wide and his free-going tendencies resurfacing. Big weight to carry but could have a good prize in him this summer if everything falls right. Four wins from ten attempts but may need career best to defy top weight. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/1 +25%)Bopedro |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bopedro 9/1, Irish Cambridgeshire winner in 2021 who struck in 1m Newmarket handicap in April under this rider. Back to form in good handicap here at the Dante Meeting, albeit never on terms. Probably still on a workable mark. Not disgraced when sixth over C&D nine days ago but more needed to return to winning ways. |
|||
3rd (3)  (25/1 -25%)Documenting |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Documenting 25/1, Dual winner last term at the veteran stage now but not disgraced on return in good 7f Kempton handicap in March. Should get a stronger gallop here and is a C&D winner so not to be underestimated. Veteran C&D winner; fair fifth of eight at Kempton two months ago; each-way claims. |
|||
4th (8)  (18/1 +10%)Lord Of The Lodge |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lord Of The Lodge 18/1, Smart AW performer but a while since he showed much on turf, folding and eased at Thirsk (6f) last week. Potentially very well handicapped but recent turf efforts have been disappointing. |
|||
5th (11)  (1.25/1 +38%)Yorkshire |
1.25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Yorkshire 1.25/1, Improving 3-y-o who has won 6f Redcar and Southwell novices and ran a cracker on return in 7f Southwell handicap recently, tanking through the race and headed only late on. More to come and makes plenty of appeal taking on older rivals off low weight. Unexposed 3yo, improving with every run; close second at Southwell; might be the answer. |
|||
6th (10)  (5.5/1 -22%)Titan Rock |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Titan Rock 5.5/1, Resumed winning ways in 10-runner Wolverhampton handicap (7f) in March which has proven strong form for the grade and did his bit for it with a close second to well-backed one over C&D last week. Nudged up 2 lb but got to be respected. Excellent neck second over C&D at the Dante meeting; high on the list again. |
|||
7th (5)  (20/1 -82%)Fools Rush In |
20/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fools Rush In 20/1, Multiple winner well held in 2 runs for new yard this season (not knocked about here latest) but given a chance by the handicapper. Down the field in two runs this year (short of room last time); others preferred. |
|||
8th (4)  (9/1 -29%)Open Mind |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Open Mind 9/1, Three-time winner, not doing a great deal once hitting the front but always in command when landing 7f Meydan handicap in January. Just failed behind a stablemate over 6f there next time but more needed now. Reliable, steadily progressive 4yo; fine second when last seen in February; big chance. |
|||
9th (9)  (66/1 -136%)Sluzewiec |
66/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sluzewiec 66/1, From a good family and successful for a fifth time in 1m claimer at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in February (claimed from Jean-Claude Rouget for €26,506 after). This is a whole different ball game. Ex-French 4yo; won Cagnes claimer in February; makes British debut in a warm race. |
|||
10th (6)  (6.5/1 +7%)Cruyff Turn |
6.5/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cruyff Turn 6.5/1, Won a good handicap at the Dante meeting last year and not disgraced having played up beforehand (as well as typically sweating) when going for the repeat in that hot race 9 days ago, not knocked about once his chance had gone. Dropped 2 lb and of firm interest over this slightly shorter trip. Two wins here; only seventh of 16 over 1m last week but this return to 7f may suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Shining Blue is the highest rated of these and he enjoyed a decent winter in Dubai, but he may be in the grasp of the handicapper now and the nod goes to fellow Godolphin-owned four-year-old OPEN MIND. Saeed bin Suroor's charge was a good second of 16 in a valuable 6f handicap when last seen at Meydan in February and, rated just 2lb higher today, he looks the most likely to score here. The in-form Yorkshire could give him the most to think.
There is more to come from YORKSHIRE and he makes plenty of appeal getting weight from his older rivals. Little went right for Cruyff Turn at the Dante Meeting and it would be no surprise to see him go well after another nudge in the weights. Titan Rock went close here last week and is respected, while veteran Documenting could go well at bigger odds.
The 3yo YORKSHIRE receives weight all round and can take full advantage after going close on his handicap debut at Southwell.

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.
