Race 1: 01:15 +1d Mountaineer Race 4 - Allowance - All Mountaineer Races
(7) Dance Drama | | | | | 4 | Agustin Bracho | Sherry Kirk | Successful at 5f and 6f. Third of eight behind One Rich Kitten beaten at 3-1 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Ramon Salcedo. More is required. |
(1) First Impression | | | | | 5 | Kevin Gonzalez | Christophe Logston | Successful at 6f and 1m. Finished 5l behind Silver Candice when fourth of six at 12-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
(6) Hov Lane | | | | | 5 | Ricardo Barrios | Virginia Demczyk | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 5l behind Silver Candice when fifth of six at 6-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Jr Jones. Hard to fancy. |
(4) Gilded Quest | | | | | 5 | Luis Batista | Ben Delong | Successful at 5f and 7f. Beaten 11l behind Texas Tangie at 30-1 when seventh of eight on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f in March. One to avoid. |
4th (2) Fracing Nasty | | | | | 5 | Charle Oliveros | Eric Reed | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 2 3/4l behind Storm Charging when fourth of nine at 13-2 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in March. Could be in the mix. |
2nd (8) Mornin' Boss | | | | | 4 | Yan Aviles | Eddie Clouston | Successful twice at 5f. Beaten 3l by Silver Candice when second of six at 2-1fav on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month. Others make more appeal. |
3rd (9) Tap N Glo | | | | | 5 | Erik Barbaran | Jay Bernardini | Successful twice at 6f. Third of six behind Silver Candice beaten 3 1/2l at 18-5 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month. One to note. |
(3) Witness The Energy | | | | | 5 | Maximo Chilo | Anthony Lucas | Winner of six races at 4f. A winner at 16-5 at Charles Town over 4f on her latest outing last month, beating Cherokee Castle by 2 1/2l. Can land the hat-trick. |
1st (5) Silver Candice | | | | | 4 | Mauro Cedillo | Julie Mathes | Successful at 4f and 6f. A winner at 3-1 at Mountaineer Park over 4f on her latest outing last month, beating Mornin' Boss by 3l. Another big run can be expected. |
WITNESS THE ENERGY has been in terrific form of late and the hat-trick looks to be very much on the cards for the five-year-old. Fracing Nasty and Silver Candice can give her the most to think about.
Race 2: 01:40 +1d Mountaineer Race 5 - Claiming - All Mountaineer Races
3rd (7) Luvtheoneurwith | | | | | 5 | Jose Vega | Timothy Gilbert | Successful twice at 1m, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 10l by Red Devolution when second of 10 at 80-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f (good) in December last year. Difficult to recommend. |
(4) Biko | | | | | 6 | Yan Aviles | Dave Treharne | Successful at 6f and 1m. Finished 2 3/4l behind Whiskey Vision when fourth of six at 20-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month. Has a bit to find. |
(2) Philbin Road | | | | | 5 | Aldo Arboleda | Juan Silva | Successful at 5f and 1m. Third of six behind Play Chicken beaten 26l at 18-5 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m last month. Work to do. |
(3) Forty Stripes | | | | | 5 | Jose Leon | Jeff Zook | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 11l behind Red Gun when sixth of eight at 7-1 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 5f in February. Yet to convince. |
4th (6) Loco | | | | | 5 | Kevin Gonzalez | Jami Poole | Successful at 6f and 1m. Beaten 1 1/2l by Whiskey Vision when second of six at 18-5 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month. A leading contender. |
1st (1) Smart Coverage | | | | | 4 | Luis Batista | Julie Mathes | Successful twice at 5f. Finished 18l behind Morethanreadyeddie when last of six at 9-1 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in January. The one to beat. |
2nd (5) Bails Him Out | | | | | 4 | Matias Bravo | Juan Silva | Successful twice at 6f. Won on his latest outing when 1-5fav at Turf Paradise over 6f in February, beating Full Bore by 1 3/4l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Frank Lucarelli. One to be interested in. |
SMART COVERAGE can get back to winning ways now at a more realistic level, with Bails Him Out and Loco looking best placed to chase him home.
Race 3: 02:05 +1d Mountaineer Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Mountaineer Races
(1) Ultra Diva | | | | | 7 | Charle Oliveros | Devan Ewell | She has won three times from 4f to 7f. Finished 13l behind Coach Rube when last of five at 20-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Easily overlooked. |
(7) S S Alternate | | | | | 7 | Bailey Weatherly | John Brown | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f. Finished 10l behind Miss Wave when fourth of five at 11-5 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f in October '22. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Crystal Richison. This looks beyond her. |
(4) Vacation Secret | | | | | 6 | Jose Vega | Marcus Kocijan | Winner of seven races from 5f to 6f. Beaten 20l behind Awesome Sunday at 16-1 when last of seven on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 5f in February. Opposable. |
(3) Scarlet Rebel | | | | | 5 | Luis Batista | Michael Jones | She has won three times at 4f. Finished 2l behind Make It A Double when sixth of nine at 45-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. The percentage call is to oppose. |
(5) Worth A Peek | | | | | 5 | Yan Aviles | Ben Delong | She has won four times from 5f to 6f. Finished 6l behind Big Treat when fourth of seven at 6-5fav on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f in July last year. Do not dismiss. |
(2) Music Lass | | | | | 4 | Luis Negron | Clifford Tuomisto | She has won three times from 4f to 7f. Beaten 3/4l by Coach Rube when second of five at 7-5 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Holds strong claims. |
(6) Coach Rube | | | | | 7 | Erik Barbaran | Jay Bernardini | Has won 13 races from 4f to 6f. Won on her latest outing when 3-5fav at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month, beating Music Lass by 3/4l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Jr Jones. Sets the standard. |
(8) Windsor's Play | | | | | 5 | Maximo Chilo | Anthony Rideoutt | Winner of five races from 4f to 6f. Third of six behind Boundtobeok beaten 4l at 12-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Enough to prove. |
COACH RUBE had Music Lass (second) behind when scoring over 5f here last time out and she can uphold that form. Worth A Peek cannot be ruled out either.
Race 4: 02:30 +1d Mountaineer Race 7 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Mountaineer Races
(4) Little Big | | | | | 5 | Brooke Bays | Robert Fiesman | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Finished 13l behind Baagy when last of 5 at 30-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month. He may do better now after his first start of the year, but others are still preferred. |
(5) Gottagetitback | | | | | 6 | Kevin Gonzalez | Christophe Logston | Winner of six races at 5f. Third of 5 behind Free Square beaten 8l at 18-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f last month when weakening late on. The drop back in trip should suit, and one to take seriously now. |
(1) Red Gun | | | | | 4 | Ricardo Barrios | Robert Fiesman | He has won three times at 5f. Finished 6l behind Poseidon's Son when fifth of 7 at 11-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month after a slow start. Held by the winner and runner-up Sir Aggravator on that run and hard to make a case for at present. |
(6) Jamming Cameron | | | | | 7 | Luis Batista | Dave Treharne | Has won 15 races from 4f to 6f. Finished 6l behind Poseidon's Son when sixth of 7 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month. Comfortably held on that form with improvement needed. |
(3) Maximum Impact | | | | | 5 | Yan Aviles | James Barker | He has won four times from 1m to 1m 1f. Finished 17l behind Laytown when sixth of 9 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m (good) in January. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Raymond Jr Ginter, but with four months off to overcome. |
(2) Sir Aggravator | | | | | 7 | Mauro Cedillo | Julie Mathes | Winner of five races from 5f to 7f. Beaten 3/4l by Poseidon's Son when second of 7 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month. Meeting the winner at the same weights here, but with less than a length to find. |
(8) Alfie Solomons | | | | | 7 | Luis Negron | Crystal Richison | He has won four times from 4f to 6f. Third of 8 behind Defend beaten 6l at 5-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f in December last year. Sold recent efforts suggest a place is not beyond him. |
(7) Poseidon's Son | | | | | 5 | Luis Rivera | Jay Bernardini | Has won eight races from 4f to 7f. Won on his latest outing when evens fav at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month, beating Sir Aggravator by 3/4l for his fourth win in a row. No reason why he cannot make it number five in this field. |
Sir Aggravator and Gottagetitback could go well, but POSEIDON'S SON is very hard to oppose based on his recent victories.
Race 5: 02:40 Sonoda Race 1 - 1400 JPN 6f 211y - All Sonoda Races
(1) T O Mont Blanc | | | | | 4 | Kouichi Takahata | Hironori Yamamoto | Came in 4th last start here. Can show a better performance this time and has a nice advantage with a good alley. Should go close. |
(2) Ardito Cry | | | | | 5 | Tomohiro Sasada | Masashi Atarashi | Resuming after a spell of 35 weeks. Ran 8th last time at the track. Can show a better performance this time and can find a nice position from the draw. Great chance. |
(3) Sano Koa | | | | | 4 | Yuuta Yamada | Takao Kuroda | Disappointing effort when 8th last time here but back to an increased distance. Displays good tactical speed. Struggle to recommend. |
(4) Jo Novelista | | | | | 7 | Sakito Yamamoto | Norihiko Hiramatsu | Mediocre performance when 6th last run around here. Gets back and needs luck. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition. |
(5) Yamano Tanki | | | | | 7 | Takashi Nakata | Shinobu Noda | Was nothing special when 8th last time at this venue. Likely to be well placed early. Keep safe. |
(6) Campbell | | | | | 3 | Kazuyuki Watase | Shinya Nishikawa | Ran 5th last time at this venue. Is capable of a resurgence. Can go through the gears. Can take this out. |
(7) World Palace | | | | | 4 | Shunya Hasebe | Tsuyoshi Komaki | Underperformed when 8th last time at this track and down in trip. Might be ridden for luck. Has struggled so far this campaign. Needs significant improvement. |
(8) M O Dream | | | | | 3 | Hibiki Ishidou | Jun Fujikawa | Ran 3rd last time at the track. Should be rolling forward early from the wide barrier. One of the punters top hopes. |
(9) Repercussion | | | | | 9 | Takanori Nagai | Hironori Yamamoto | Mediocre display when 11th last time here. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Sound chance. |
(10) Rose Major | | | | | 8 | Kousuke Matsumoto | Tsuyoshi Obaru | Subpar when 7th last run here. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide gate. Cannot make a case for. |
Race 6: 02:50 Kasamatsu Race 1 - 800 JPN 3f 215y - All Kasamatsu Races
(1) Smart Betroth | | | | | 2 | Hitomi Miyashita | Masaharu Fujita | Ran 4th last time at this track. Looking for an improved run and drawn well. Has shown early pace in races to date. Marginal prospect. |
(2) Love Paradox | | | | | 2 | Kyouka Fukazawa | Katsuyoshi Itou | Started at $51.00 and was nothing special when 6th last start at this venue but has a good draw. Does take a while to get into stride. Down in distance. Looking elsewhere today. |
(3) Gewwaientan | | | | | 2 | Seidai Myoujou | Yuuya Gotou | Below par when 15th last start at Nakayama and back in trip. Change in trainer and will appreciate the drop in weight. Likely to get back in the run. Prefer others. |
(4) Playful Days | | | | | 2 | Mikio Fujiwara | Yukiyasu Katou | Second run this prep. Started $26.00 and disappointing effort when 8th last run around here. Not very reliable. |
(5) Sasajima Sempu | | | | | 2 | Ichito Matsumoto | Yukiyasu Katou | At $9.50 below standard effort when 7th last time around here. Expected to rebound. Will go close. |
(6) Peperoncino | | | | | 2 | Tatsuya Watanabe | Hiroshi Sasano | Having second run back from a break. Weakened under pressure when 15th last time at Nakayama and back to a shorter distance. First start for a new trainer. Do not dismiss entirely. |
(7) Maruyo Fursa | | | | | 2 | Shin Higashikawa | Takashi Shibata | Couldn't maintain the pace when 16th last time at Hanshin. Has the ability to turn things around but will be dropping in distance. Racing for a new trainer. Not dismissing. |
(8) Argentees | | | | | 2 | Makoto Okabe | Masaharu Fujita | Sub-standard effort when 7th last run around here. Overlooking the last run but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Should be swooping on the field late. Definite claims for punters. |
(9) Hirono Waka | | | | | 2 | Takayuki Morishima | Kyouichi Itou | Not up to scratch when 8th last start around here and dropping in distance. Shows good finishing speed. Keep safe. |
Race 7: 02:55 +1d Mountaineer Race 8 - Claiming - All Mountaineer Races
(2) Kantpaythetoll | | | | | 6 | Agustin Bracho | Robert Fiesman | Winner of five races from 6f to 1m 3f. Finished 7l behind Two Guns when fifth of 6 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Held by Chopped on two runs in late 2023 suggesting he has plenty to find. |
(3) Magic Mountain | | | | | 6 | Angel Diaz | Gary Welsh | Winner of five races from 4f to 6f. Beaten 5l behind Rejuvenate at 18-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 2f (good) in November last year. Back to a more suitable trip now which may well see him involved where it matters. |
(1) Chopped | | | | | 5 | Ricardo Barrios | Virginia Demczyk | He has won four times from 5f to 1m. Finished 5l behind Money For Mischief when fifth of 10 at 15-2 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m (good) in December last year. He needs to bounce back to the form of his November 2023 second to have any chance. |
(5) Pretty Stormy | | | | | 7 | Yuri Yaranga | Alejandro Murillo | Winner of seven races from 5f to 6f. Beaten a neck by Quick Entry when second of 7 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f (good) in December last year. Four months off the track to overcome which may be his undoing. |
(8) Crack The Moon | | | | | 4 | Kevin Gonzalez | Jami Poole | He has won four times from 4f to 6f. Beaten 12l behind Bazoo at 15-2 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month and held by runner-up Sutton Valley on that run. |
(4) Julie's Ferrari | | | | | 6 | Mauro Cedillo | Gary Welsh | Winner of six races from 6f to 7f. Finished 15l behind Rose's Pepino when fifth of 8 at 25-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m (good) in December last year. Something to find with Crack The Moon on November 2023 form even at the revised weights. |
(6) Sutton Valley | | | | | 6 | Luis Batista | Krista Hetrick | He has won four times from 5f to 7f. Beaten 1/2l by Bazoo when second of 8 at 33-10 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 4f last month. Struggling to see out his races and we may see more of the same, though he could hang on for a place. |
(7) Pour Me A Double | | | | | 5 | Edgar Paucar | W Jenkins | He has won four times from 5f to 6f. Well beaten at 45-1 behind Topping when last of 11 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in March. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with T Haehn, and one to take seriously on his better form. |
Sutton Valley should not be discounted but Pour Me A Double and MAGIC MOUNTAIN are the two to focus on. The selection returns to a more suitable trip, and may have enough to come out on top.

2nd (4) Agri | | | | | 4 | B Marie | St Richter | Mostly disappointing form this year and was 7th last time out in a handicap at Lyon-Parilly over 1600m on 20 April. Place chance |
3rd (8) Alexandretta | | | | | 4 | Eddy Hardouin | H Blume | Very consistent without winning in the UK and was third last time out in a Novice race at Kempton over 1400m on 31 January. Can win on French debut |
1st (1) Society Man | | | | | 4 | I Mendizabal | F Chappet | Unreliable but did run well when fourth last time out in a Conditions race at Lyon-Parilly over 1350m on 17 April. Can fight out the finish again |
(2) Alcanor | | | | | 4 | G Sias | A&g Botti | Disappointing last run when well beaten in a handicap at Chantilly over 1600m on 5 March. In good form before that and has a winning chance |
(3) New Light | | | | | 4 | L Grosso | A Zimmer | May have needed is only run of the year when 5th last time out in a handicap at Lyon-Parilly over 1600m on 20 April. Can bounce back and score |
(5) Boca Spirit | | | | | 4 | S Breux | U Schwinn | Yet to win a race and was 7th last time in a handicap at Dortmund over 1600m on 3 December. More is needed to win this race |
(6) Lovely Lady | | | | | 4 | J Nicoleau | F Chappet | Fair first three starts and was 5th last time out in a Novice race at Ayr over 1600m on 6 October 2022. Returns from a lengthy break and is likely to need this run |
(7) Magic Moment | | | | | 4 | A Nicco | K Kerekes | Has struggled in her four starts so far and she was well beaten in a handicap last time out at Nancy over 2500m on 24 March. Others are much preferred |
SOCIETY MAN (1) is unreliable but ran well enough last time out to suggest he could be ready to score a race like this. ALCANOR (2) was in good form before a disappointing last run so is capable of bouncing back to win. ALEXANDRETTA (8) is very consistent and a first success can not be too far away. NEW LIGHT (3) proved in need of the last run and should do a lot better this time.
Race 55: 9:55 Ascot (BG) Drummond Golf Hcp (C3) AUS 1800 metres - All Ascot (Aus) Races
(11) Queen Of Jerusalem | | | | | 5 | Joseph Azzopardi | Greg Cave | Having second run back from a spell. Below par last start when 6.7L behind Jay Dee at Ascot. Beaten 6.7L at this track last time out. Suited in this distance range. Could improve. |
(3) Do It Right | | | | | 7 | Simone Altieri | Ms J Mclaughlin | Solid effort beaten 5.6L behind Beermullah at Ascot last start. Beaten 5.6L at this circuit last time out. Ran at this trip last time out when 5.6L from the winner. Excels in this distance range. Hard to go past. |
(6) Black For Cash | | | | | 5 | Brandon Louis | Ms J Erkelens | Close up last start when 0.7L behind Beermullah at Ascot. 0.7L from the winner in Class 3 level race at this circuit last start. 0.7L from the winner over this distance last start. Has room to improve. |
(9) Wozzeck | | | | | 4 | Holly Watson | Rhys Radford | Look to betting. |
(10) Dash Of Brandy | | | | | 5 | Jason Whiting | G C Ballantyne | 2nd up. Nice run last start when 2.3L behind Miss Ava at Pinjarra. Chance. |
(2) Truevinsky | | | | | 4 | Troy Turner | Jayce Buckley | Average effort at Benchmark 72+ level when beaten 9.6L at Narrogin. Loves this track. In the mix. |
(8) President Sam | | | | | 5 | Brad Parnham | Ms T Itzstein | 3rd up here. Class 1 winner last start when sat on speed and proved too strong at Pinjarra. Won by a short head last time out. Has managed to place one of two starts this preperation. Has some claims. |
(12) His Eminence | | | | | 5 | Jordan Turner | C H Webster | Ran well last start when 4.9L behind Yarralea at Ascot. 4.9L from the winner in Rest 1 Metro Win class race around here last start. Has a liking for this track condition. Can improve. |
(5) Allegro Sonata | | | | | 4 | Steven Parnham | S V Vahala | Loves these conditions. Will be in the finish. |
(1) Miss Ava | | | | | 4 | Luke Campbell | D R Harrison | Second up today after a spell. Sat outside the leader and wanted it more when scoring by 0.6L in a Class 3 race at Pinjarra. Has a liking for this track condition. Top chance to win again. |
(4) Stop Dreaming | | | | | 5 | Chris Parnham | Luke Fernie | Impressed last start when 1L behind Beermullah at Ascot. Beaten 1L at this track last time out. Ran at this distance last start when 1L from the winner. Go well. |
(7) Happy As Larry | | | | | 3 | Lisa Staples | P H Jordan | 3rd up today. Close up last start when 2.3L behind Fly With Caution at Ascot. 2.3L from the winner in Open class race around here last time out. Has a liking for this track condition. Has managed to place one of two starts this preperation. Place preferred. |
(13) Beermullah | | | | | 4 | Unknown | Tania Burns | Sat outside the leader and wanted it more when scoring by 0.7L in a Class 3 race at Ascot. Impressive winner at this track last run winning by 0.7l. Loves this circuit. Top chance to win again. |
(14) Midnight Mystery | | | | | 6 | Unknown | A D Mathews | Looked good last start when 1L behind Beermullah at Ascot. 1L from the winner in Class 3 level race at this track last start. 1L from the winner at this trip last start. Has really struggled this preparation. Not fancied. |

Race 56: 10:10 Strasbourg Koenigsbourg Hurdle - All Strasbourg Races
3rd (6) Galidor Du Moulin | | | | | 4 | A Ruiz Gonzalez | A Acker | Showed some improvement when 6th last time out in a Conditions hurdle over this course and distance on 22 April. Can play a minor role |
2nd (2) Heavy Boy | | | | | 4 | D Ubeda | A Acker | Showed improvement when fourth last time out in a Conditions hurdle race at its course over 3300m on 22 March. More is needed to win but has a chance |
1st (1) Kaolak | | | | | 4 | B Le Clerc | Lageneste Macaire | Only found one better on debut and was not disgraced when 6th last time out in a Conditions hurdle race at Auteuil over this distance on 21 April. Should bounce back and fight out the finish |
(3) Kansas Du Seuil | | | | | 4 | R Mayeur | M Seror | Disappointing last run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Compiegne over this distance on 23 April. Capable of better and can contest the finish |
(4) Zanhowe | | | | | 4 | R Law-Eadie | G Fabre | Mostly moderate form and was 7th last time out in a Conditions hurdle at Wissembourg over 3400m on 1 May. More is needed to win this race |
(5) Tough Times | | | | | 4 | J Bartos | J Jr | Did not run too badly when 7th on debut in a Conditions hurdle at Fontainebleau over 3550m on 29 March. Improvement likely and can contest the finish |
(7) Bulie | | | | | 4 | J Coyer | M Pitart | -Has not sown much at all and was well beaten in a Conditions hurdle at Lyon-Parilly over 3800m on 2 April. Best watched for now |
(8) Sanny | | | | | 4 | A Masson | Mme S Marsch | Dislodged her rider when making her debut over this course and distance on 22 April. Capable of vast improvement |
KAOLAK (1) was not disgraced last time out and did even better on debut so does get a confident selection to be victorious this time around. HEAVY BOY (2) showed improvement last time out and could have more to offer. KANSAS DU SEUIL (3) is capable of better than the last run would suggest and could contest the finish. GALIDOR DU MOULIN (6) showed some improvement last time out and is not out of it with further improvement expected.
Race 57: 10:25 Chartres Prix Le Parc Saint Charles - Attele - All Chartres Races
4th (4) Gynerium Nay | | | | | 8 | D Caillet | D Caillet | 3rd here mid-April before a disappointing 5th of 10 under similar conditions 10 days ago and, while not a priority, can still get a look-in |
1st (1) Heracles Du Vivier | | | | | 7 | G Poree | E M Fournier | 16th of 18 in a 2825m Durtal Class E, when still being conditioned, a fortnight ago. In 'competition-mode' this time and with Guillaume Poree reining is unlikely to disappoint |
2nd (7) Isea De Saint Marc | | | | | 6 | B Debris | S G Dupont | Produced 2 decent efforts before finishing 7th of 12 in a 2800m Auch Class F on 10 March. Is fresh for amateur debut and looks competitively well-in |
3rd (5) Isutah | | | | | 6 | T Vallette | B Vallette | Has taken superbly to the amateur division. Solid winner of a 2900m Challans Class G 10 days ago and is ideally-placed to repeat |
(2) Halicante Mabon | | | | | 7 | Ch Duchier | C H Duchier | Should not be too hastily judged for recent 7th of 14 in a 2575m Agen-Le Passage amateurs Class G on 21 April and could pleasantly surprise |
(3) Georky De Morgane | | | | | 8 | S Rocher | G L Peltier | Last of 7, on comeback, in a similar event here on 14 April. Will have progressed but perhaps not enough to influence the outcome |
(6) Hotline Javanaise | | | | | 7 | Q Champenois | G Champenois | Sanctioned in 2 this year before coming 2nd of 14 in a 2650m Chatelaillon-La Rochelle Class G on 21 April and, with application, can figure prominently |
(8) Hammerless | | | | | 7 | Mme E Lapeyre | G Cardine | Just 2nd start back after faulting in a 2900m Challans Class G 10 days ago and, even racing barefoot, others still easier to trust |
(9) Flight Commodore | | | | | 9 | S Campain | A A Guibout | Unraced since faulting in a 2725m Graignes Class F last November. Has decent references in this category though, is fitted with pads for re-entry, appreciates Chartres and, despite the handicap, should not be far off the mark |
(10) Flicflac Du Logis | | | | | 9 | A Unterreiner | A Unterreiner | Looked very ordinary when 10th of 11 in a 2150m Vincennes Class G 3 weeks ago and can expect to have few friends |
(11) Helectra Race | | | | | 7 | F Touchard | G Cogne | Quality element but still being prepared after being sanctioned in a 2900m Challans Class G 10 days ago and can be ruled out |
(12) Guylain De Mai | | | | | 8 | J Barbier | S T Provoost | 9th of 11 in a 2150m Argentan Class G on 15 April. Is better than that though, has previously won here, and must not be overlooked |
Twice a winner in his last two starts in the amateur category, ISUTAH (5) imposed in good order at Challans and, barefoot from the front line, can double up. HOTLINE JAVANAISE (6) reassured at Chatelaillon-La Rochelle late last month and can apply the pressure if Quentin Champenois keeps her trotting. ISEA DE SAINT MARC (7) takes her first steps at this level and has done enough in the professional ranks to warrant respect. HERACLES DU VIVIER (1) will be fit by now and, barefoot for the occasion
Race 58: 10:40 Strasbourg Comite Regional d'Equitation de Grande Est Stakes - All Strasbourg Races
1st (9) Baby Glory | | | | | 5 | J Nicoleau | St Richter | Struggling of late and was well beaten last time out in a handicap at Nancy over this distance on 4 April. Others are preferred |
3rd (7) Cogolin | | | | | 6 | R Mangione | M F Weissmeier | Disappointing last run when well beaten in a handicap at Deauville over 1900m on 5 November. Returns from a break but will like it back on the grass. Might place |
2nd (1) Antrim | | | | | 6 | Martin Seidl | S Schleppi | Battling to gain a second victory but was runner-up last time out in a handicap over this track and trip on 22 April. Go close again |
(2) Motorsport | | | | | 9 | Eddy Hardouin | Mme Y Vollmer | On a very long losing run and was well beaten in a handicap over this course and distance on 22 April. Capable of better and could play a minor role |
(3) Frankie's Boy | | | | | 5 | L Wolff | U Schwinn | Distance suited and ran well when third last time out in a handicap over this track and trip on 22 April. Should contest the finish again |
(4) Bremontier | | | | | 5 | Non Partant | M Krebs | Non runner |
(5) Skipper | | | | | 5 | H Besnier | Frau C Bocskai | Not disgraced when fourth last time out in a handicap over this course and distance on 22 April. Be right there at the finish once again |
(6) Sciliar | | | | | 6 | L Grosso | J Paulen | Proved in need of his only run of the year when 7th in a handicap over this course and distance on 22 April. Fitter and could play a minor role |
(8) Poldi's Liebling | | | | | 9 | B Marie | Frau J Mayer | Disappointing two runs this year and was 6th last time out in handicap at Lyon-La Soie over 1800m on 6 April. Capable of better back on the grass |
(10) Yavaika | | | | | 5 | T Trullier | Y Bonnefoy | Yet to win a race and was 8th last time out in a Conditions race at Lyon-Parilly over 2400m on 27 April. Better this distance and capable of making the frame |
A very open-looking race and FRANKIE'S BOY (3) gets a narrow vote to score. He is distance-suited and in good heart. SKIPPER (5) ran well when fourth last time out and should do even better this time. ANTRIM (1) only found one better last time out over this course and distance and deserves the utmost respect in this line-up. YAVAIKA (10) has yet to win but could get involved with the finish over this distance.
Race 59: 10:56 Chartres Prix Du Pmu le - Attele - All Chartres Races
3rd (14) Illico Du Guesne | | | | | 6 | M Herrault | P Ploquin | Reliability not his strong suit but trotted 4th of 12 in a 2650m Avignon Class F a month ago and is not incapable of getting another look-in |
4th (4) Ibiscus Dambray | | | | | 6 | Mlle M De Meyer | F De Meyer | 6th of 13, at 87/1, in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F 8 days ago but, even with modified shoeing, a repeat seems improbable |
2nd (12) It's Pat | | | | | 6 | Mlle E Vallette | J F Vallette | Flew up here before being involved in a fender-bender at Lisieux, being pulled-up in a 2725m Class F. Is otherwise in top shape and can play a prominent role if he is kept out of trouble |
1st (6) Idao Nay | | | | | 6 | L Goetz | G Cogne | Capable mare that came 3rd to ILARIA KILY (11) in a 2550m Reims Class F late last month and, from the front row, can confirm |
(1) Inzaghy | | | | | 6 | N Perron | A A Guibout | Capable trotter but makes his first appearance since finishing 8th of 16 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F on 3 March and will need the run |
(2) Hulina Debailleul | | | | | 7 | D Riallot | Charly Foure | Disappointing on the whole this term, most recently 6th in a 2700m Graignes Class G 3 weeks ago, and even from the front row, will have too much to do |
(3) Helia D'Avignere | | | | | 7 | P Beasse | D Marsault | Unlucky not to finish closer than 6th in a 2650m Bordeaux Class E 9 days ago but, in this company, will nevertheless need to find more |
(5) Happy D'Or | | | | | 7 | Th Rousselet | Ch Sorieux | Races barefoot for the occasion after finishing last but one in a 2850m Loudeac Class H late last month, but still has no realistic chance |
(7) It's Me Minimes | | | | | 6 | A Guillemin | A Plard | Unraced since coming 7th of 9 in a 2175m Vincennes Class F last November. Has other priorities and can be passed over |
(8) Intrigue De Viette | | | | | 6 | Ch Korosi | C H Henry | Capable mare that is ideally-situated on the front row and, hind shoes off, will be expected to make up for faulting in a 2875m Loudeac Class H on 27 April |
(9) Hold Up Meslois | | | | | 7 | H Baumer | P Belloche | Got back in the game when 3rd of 14 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F 10 days ago and even though shod this time, still looks a player |
(10) Hequileo Jiel | | | | | 7 | B Danielo | Sebastien Tribourdeau | 8th of 11 in a 3175m Saint-Omer Class F last week. Shoes on again and no threat |
(11) Ilaria Kily | | | | | 6 | Lilian Bertin | F Nivard | Rewarded with facile success in a 2550m Reims Class F on 25 April. Thrives with Lilian Bertin reining and will have her chances |
(13) Hidalgo Boy | | | | | 7 | A J David | Y Dreux | Modest 9th of 13 in a 2825m Cordemais Class F a fortnight back and is unlikely to improve much on that |
(15) Imperieuse Steed | | | | | 6 | Maxime Thevenet | Antoine Lherete | Pleasantly surprised when 6th of 12 in a 2100m Vincennes amateurs Class G a month back and, with form maintained, should not go home empty-handed |
(16) Hommage Du Trio | | | | | 7 | Mme L Lamare | T H Lamare | 2nd over course and distance before confirming in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F on 21 April. Enjoys a good entry and can have his day in the sun |
Well-engaged and currently in cracking form, HOMMAGE DU TRIO (16) switches back to racing with front pads and has every chance of picking up his first success of the season. Lisa Lamare can nevertheless expect to encounter resistance from IT'S PAT (12) who won here late-March before some poor luck put him out of the race at Lisieux, and a padded ILARIA KILY (11) who imposed with ease at Reims two weeks ago. 3rd that day, IDAO NAY (6) is again 25m better off and can trot his way into the frame.
Race 60: 11:05 Greyville The Independent On Saturday Maiden Plate(For all Maidens) SAF 1m - All Greyville Races
4th (7) Code Of Conduct | | | | | 2 | M Thackeray | M D Miller | Well held when sixth (Scottsville) latest; makes little appeal |
1st (8) Ocean Palace | | | | | 3 | R A Venniker | D S Bosch | Blinkers not worked so well in last two races; well held sixth of nine latest on her debut for new trainer when dropped down to 7f; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and warrants consideration |
3rd (9) Breath Of Magic | | | | | 3 | C Maujean | F Bronkhorst | Didn't offer much when seventh of 11 (maiden plate) on Thursday at Turffontein Inside; string of near-misses of late; should go close |
2nd (4) James Fitzjames | | | | | 2 | R Fourie | G S Kotzen | Finished fifth, beaten just over 5l, in a maiden plate last month (Scottsville); form boosted by the fourth going in since; should go close |
(1) Super Buck Moon | | | | | 2 | C Habib | G S Kotzen | 40-1 chance when finishing seventh of eight on his debut three months ago at Scottsville; possible improver with that outing under his belt although has plenty to find |
(2) Ntombenhle | | | | | 4 | K J Lihaba | B D Botes | Last of eight when second favourite last Wednesday (over 1m1f here); losing run stretches to 12; failed to impress last time, although was second at Scottsville last month and must be respected |
(3) Mister Nibbles | | | | | 2 | T Godden | M D Miller | Ran encouragingly when 3l third (Scottsville) five weeks ago; definite chance |
(5) Rainwater | | | | | 2 | J Jacobs | G S Kotzen | Not disgraced when fourth in a maiden plate last month here over 7f; headgear will need to have dramatic effect so best left |
(6) Evies Horizon | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | P V Lafferty | Beaten just over 2l 38 days ago when sent off 100-1 in a maiden plate (Greyville) on his second outing for this trainer; needs to be respected |
This looks a competitive affair but BREATH OF MAGIC is up to landing this. He can bounce back from an excusable blip. Mister Nibbles is likely to attract market support.
Race 61: 11:12 Strasbourg Belle Strasbourgeoise Handicap - All Strasbourg Races
2nd (9) Innis | | | | | 9 | S Laurent | C Weber | Unplaced in a Conditions race at this track over 3000m on 22 April. Placed at this track in May last year. Unplaced since May last year |
1st (3) Partnun | | | | | 4 | M Abik | W Hickst | Finished 7th in a Conditions race at this track over 3000m on 22 April. She has yet to taste success but has been a runner-up in four of eight attempts. Not out of it |
3rd (6) Nana Gina | | | | | 6 | T Trullier | Mme Y Vollmer | Was 5th in a Handicap at Fontainebleau over 3000m on 30 April. Trying Australian blinders for the first time. Performs well at this track and deserves to be respected |
(1) Mozart Des Brieres | | | | | 4 | C Billardello | F Foresi | Good second in a Handicap at Toulouse over 3000m on 21 April. In eight attempts over 2500m or more has been in the top four seven times. Big chance |
(2) Garigliano | | | | | 7 | B Marie | B Bossert | Unplaced in a Conditions race at this track over 3000m on 22 April. Ignore the latest effort and is seldom far off them |
(4) Waldstein | | | | | 4 | Eddy Hardouin | S Smrczek | Fourth in a Conditions race at this track over 3000m on 22 April. Well placed in the handicaps and has been the distance. Respect |
(5) Auen Adventure | | | | | 8 | A Molins | J Parize | Third in a Conditions race at this track over 3000m on 22 April. Has had three attempts at this track for one success and a third. Can be involved in the finish again |
(7) Diana | | | | | 6 | Martin Seidl | Frau J Mayer | Finished 8th in a Conditions race at this track over 3000m on 22 April. The last two efforts at this track have been well beaten. Needs to find a few lengths |
(8) Baden Rocks | | | | | 7 | H Besnier | Mme C Whitfield | Unplaced in a Handicap at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 3200m on 7 February.Long losing streak and is best to watch for now |
(10) Visionary Dreamer | | | | | 8 | L Wolff | W Kujath | Finished 7th in a Conditions race at Wissembourg over 2400m on 14 April. Can play a minor role at best |
(11) Maydana | | | | | 5 | I Mendizabal | A Acker | Unplaced in a Conditions race at this track over 3000m on 22 April. Probably needed the last start and can improve |
(12) Hegrina | | | | | 4 | S Breux | U Schwinn | Finished10th in a Conditions race at this track over 3000m on 22 April. Others are preferred in this line-up |
MOZART DES BRIERES (1) only found one better last time out and can go one better this time around. WALDSTEIN (4) is consistent in this division and should be contesting the finish again. AUEN ADVENTURE (5) likes this course and should be right there at the finish. PARTNUN (3) has yet to win but does respect in this this line-up this track and trip.
Race 62: 11:28 Chartres Prix De La Ville D'amilly - Attele - All Chartres Races
4th (1) Loyal Du Chene | | | | | 3 | N Bazire | J Mer | Has evident talent but sanctioned in a 2850m Laval Class E 2 weeks ago. Needs to get his house in order but is still not to be overlooked |
1st (3) Lautrec Quick | | | | | 3 | A Rebeche | S T Meunier | Well-regarded colt that won a 2650m Alencon Class F in style on 21 April and if he takes to the new conditions, can confirm |
3rd (2) Lady Oh | | | | | 3 | J Lavainne | Dariusz Czerwinski | Missed out by little for 2nd in a Class E over course and distance 10 days ago and can again make the frame |
2nd (8) Lancelot Venesi | | | | | 3 | F Nivard | F Nivard | Tenacious 3rd of 12 in a 2500m Reims Class E . Has never disappointed in current configuration and is not about to start. Chance |
(4) Lyxie Knight | | | | | 3 | E Raffin | Guillaume Jouve | Quality future prospect that defied expectations on comeback when 6th of 13 in a 2350m Angers Class D a month ago and is in with a realistic chance of winning this time |
(5) Lucifer D'Orphee | | | | | 3 | A Barrier | S G Dupont | Dynamic winner of a 2450m Caen monte Class E on 22 April. Anthony Barrier in charge again and will be no easy touch if form transitions |
(6) Lorie De La Prade | | | | | 3 | D Dulong | S Roger | Has ability but will need to improve on 6th of 9 in a 2550m Reims Class D 3 weeks ago |
(7) Lac Lucernais | | | | | 3 | M Charuel | M Charuel | Won a 2550m claimer at Gournay-en-Bray late last month but in this company looks outclassed |
Pleasant on debut early-April, the nicely-bred LAUTREC QUICK (3) opened his account next time and, even moving to a hard surface, still looks capable of repeating. Arthur Rebeche will however want to be wary of the Eric Raffin-driven LYXIE KNIGHT (4) who will have come on for her Angers re-entry run, and the progressive LANCELOT VENESI (8) whose form is on the right trajectory.
Race 63: 11:40 Happy Valley Cochrane Hcp (C5) HK 1200 metres - All Happy Valley (HK) Races
3rd (8) Same To You | | | | | 5 | Brenton Avdulla | Mark Newnham | Wasn't far away last time at Happy Valley in a Class 5 race when 4.30L from the winner as a $44 chance. 4.30L from the winner in Class 5 class race around here last time out. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Prefer to see. |
1st (6) Hero Star | | | | | 8 | Y L Chung | K L Man | Looked Good prior to being sent to the paddock when 3.80L behind Super Axiom at Happy Valley. Beaten 3.80L at this circuit last time out. Loves this track. Will be in the finish. |
2nd (1) My Intelligent | | | | | 6 | Zac Purton | W Y So | Wasn't too bad at Happy Valley last start when beaten 4.80L in a Class 4 race. Beaten 4.80L at this circuit last start. 4.80L from the winner at this trip last start. One of the toughest to beat. |
(2) Youth Power | | | | | 4 | Keith Yeung | D A Hayes | Looked Good when settled on speed last start and was 2L behind Sonic Boom at Sha Tin. Ran at this trip last time out when 2L from the winner. Recent form only fair. |
(3) The Concentration | | | | | 3 | Derek Leung | P F Yiu | Didn't show much at all last start when 8.8L 8th at Conghua Turf. 8.8L from the winner over this distance last start. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Can run well here. |
(4) Woodfire Champ | | | | | 4 | Andrea Atzeni | C W Chang | Fair effort behind E Universe when beaten 3.30L at Happy Valley last time out. 3.30L from the winner in Class 4 grade race around here last time out. 3.30L from the winner over this distance last time out. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Needs to improve. |
(5) Alloy King | | | | | 7 | Harry Bentley | K H Ting | Struggled last start when 5.30L behind Super Axiom at Happy Valley. Beaten 5.30L at this track last time out. Races well at this venue. A must for multiples. |
(7) Fire Ball | | | | | 7 | Anthony Hamelin | C H Yip | Not far away last start when 2L behind Geneva at Happy Valley. 2L from the winner in Barrier Trial level race at this circuit last start. Ran over this distance last start when 2L from the winner. One of the major players. |
(9) General Ace | | | | | 5 | Vincent Ho | K W Lui | Ordinary effort when beaten by close to 6L at Sha Tin last time. 5.5L from the winner at this distance last start. Can play a role. |
(10) Double Show | | | | | 5 | Luke Ferraris | D Whyte | Nice run when beaten 4.5L behind Super Joy at Sha Tin last start. 4.5L from the winner at this distance last time out. Sure to run well. |
(11) H Z Tourbillon | | | | | 6 | B Thompson | T P Yung | Beaten 5.50L at Happy Valley last start. 5.50L from the winner in Class 5 grade race at this track last start. Ran over this distance last time out when 5.50L from the winner. Can improve. |
(12) Vamos | | | | | 6 | Hugh Bowman | D J Hall | 3rd up here. 4.3L from the winner last time at Conghua Turf in a Barrier Trial race. Ran at this distance last time out when 4.3L from the winner. Place looks best. |
Race 64: 11:44 Strasbourg Dunaden Handicap - All Strasbourg Races
3rd (9) Fatu Hiva | | | | | 3 | G Sias | A&g Botti | Good 5th in a Conditions race at Divonne-les-Bains over 1700m on 21 April. She is making her Handicap debut and could be a surprise package |
2nd (11) Seventh Wonder | | | | | 3 | A Molins | Frau C Bocskai | Decent fourth in a Claimer at this track over 1400m on 22 April. Carmen Bocskai is an astute trainer and places her horses well |
1st (8) Xaarine | | | | | 3 | H Besnier | Mme Y Vollmer | Good third in a Claimer at this track over 1400m on 22 April. Decent latest effort and can go close again |
(1) Thunderheart | | | | | 3 | L Wolff | Frau E Meder | Unplaced in a Conditions race at Compiegne over 1400m on 16 April. Yet to place and is an unlikely winner |
(2) Bombey | | | | | 3 | L Gallo | Boutin (S) | Second in a Handicap at Chantilly over 1400m on 15 April. The last four efforts have been in the top four. A similar run can be expected |
(3) Dulini | | | | | 3 | G Trolley De Prevaux | Tim Donworth | Non runner |
(4) Masterplan | | | | | 3 | Martin Seidl | A Suborics | Finished 8th in a Conditions race at Deauville over 1300m on 28 November. Probably will be needing the run. |
(5) Sommerblitz | | | | | 3 | E Weissmeier | F X Weissmeier | Finished 8th in a Conditions race at Chantilly over 1800m on 15 April. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(6) Honky Tonk Woman | | | | | 3 | T Trullier | J Phelippon | Winner of a Claimer at this track over 1400m on 22 April. She can double up. |
(7) Noronha | | | | | 3 | F Valle Skar | M Krebs | Finished 8th in a Conditions at this track over 2000m on 22 April. Three poor efforts after a break. Best watched for now |
(10) Bawe Island | | | | | 3 | Eddy Hardouin | Boutin (S) | Finished 8th in a Handicap at Fontainebleau over 1200m on 3 May. Has sufficient means to fight for a podium position |
A very competitive handicap and it may pay to be with FATU HIVA (9). She was not disgraced when fift last time out and could pop up on handicap debut. HONKY TONK WOMAN (6) won a claimer last time out but does deserve respect in this line-up. SEVENTH WONDER (11) was not disgraced last time out and could do even better this time out with a shrewd trainer. XAARINE (8) is another that can contest the finish.
Race 65: 12:00 Chartres Prix Epi Centre Leclerc - Attele - All Chartres Races
2nd (5) Kadole Julourozo | | | | | 4 | F Lecanu | D Garcias | Second of 12 in a 2825m Class E here late last month. Runs on level terms this time and while unlikely to impose, can still challenge for a place on the podium |
4th (9) Komere De Corday | | | | | 4 | Arnaud Desmottes | A Desmottes | Won on comeback last month before faulting in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class E 8 days ago but with shoes back on, can begin to set the record straight |
1st (11) Kanelle De Tillard | | | | | 4 | A Barrier | J Bruneau | Pleasant 5th of 11 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class E on 25 April but is not about to spring a surprise |
3rd (2) Kiss Me De Madker | | | | | 4 | E Raffin | C H Mallet | Sanctioned with gas in the tank in a Class F over course and distance on 14 April and Eric Raffin will be loathe to let the same thing happen twice. Claim |
(1) Kontessa Dream | | | | | 4 | A Wiels | C H Mottier | Has struggled since coming to France, most recently sanctioned in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class E 8 days ago, and others easier to back |
(3) Ki Va | | | | | 4 | B Bourgoin | B Bourgoin | 5th here last month before coming 8th of 10 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F a week ago and will have few, if any, takers |
(4) Kastille Haufor | | | | | 4 | F Nivard | C H Bigeon | Good 4th to KANELLE DE TILLARD (11) in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on comeback a month ago. Has had time to come on and with shoes off looks a serious candidate for success |
(6) Kiranie Des Noes | | | | | 4 | A Laurent | A Laurent | Improving sort that came 3rd of 9 in a 2400m Amiens Class F on 19 April. Is confirmed left-handed and will be expected to trot her way onto the podium |
(7) Kevive De Mail | | | | | 4 | A Clerin | A Clerin | 9th of 13 in a 2800m Cholet Class F 9 days ago and once again appears to have nothing to offer |
(8) Kevise Beco | | | | | 4 | M Bezier | M Bezier | Missed out by little for 3rd in a 2850m Laval Class E last week and, although not a priority, has hind shoes off and will not be available at 89/1 |
(10) Kara Maris | | | | | 4 | J F Pointeau | J Rosenzweig | Won her only start at the venue but sanctioned, at 148/1, in Laval race of reference and can be passed over |
(12) Katane Du Corta | | | | | 4 | Cedric Terry | F Terry | 10th of 11, when when still a race shy, in a 2850m Laval Class E 2 weeks ago, but should be fit by now and can make amends |
A number of good prospects here but it is hard to ignore the budding KASTILLE HAUFOR (4) who is first time barefoot with Franck Nivard at the helm. They will still meet resistance from a fully-shod KIRANIE DES NOES (6) who is clearly close to her race, and an unshod-behind KISS ME DE MADKER (2) who was full of running before faulting here mid-April. Second over 2825m here 10 days ago, KADOLE JULOUROZO (5) has hind shoes off this time and is also in with a decent shout.
Race 66: 12:10 Happy Valley Wyndham Hcp (C4) HK 1200 metres - All Happy Valley (HK) Races
1st (12) New Power | | | | | 3 | Karis Teetan | C W Chang | Was 3.8L away at Sha Tin last start. 3.8L from the winner at this trip last start. Could be value for wider exotics. |
3rd (1) Chateauneuf | | | | | 3 | Zac Purton | D A Hayes | Impressed last start when 2.80L behind Multisuper at Sha Tin. Strong claims. |
2nd (8) Lean Master | | | | | 4 | E C W Wong | C H Yip | On speed and boxed on well when 2.30L behind Sergeant Pepper at Happy Valley last start. 2.30L from the winner in Class 4 level race around here last start. Will be in the finish. |
(2) Ace One | | | | | 6 | Hugh Bowman | D Whyte | Didn't show much at all last start when 9L 11th at Sha Tin. Ran at this trip last time out when 9L from the winner. Excels in this distance range. Could place. |
(3) Ever Smart | | | | | 3 | Harry Bentley | F C Lor | Ordinary effort when beaten by close to 9L at Sha Tin last start. 8.8L from the winner at this distance last start. One of the major players. |
(4) Foxhunter King | | | | | 3 | Dylan Mo | K W Lui | Poor effort behind Steps Ahead when a well beaten 7L 7th at Conghua Turf last time out. Below best last start and chance if finds best. |
(5) Win Speed | | | | | 3 | B Thompson | Mark Newnham | All the way Sha Tin winner last start in Barrier Trial grade. Strong chance to win again. |
(6) Mr Valiant | | | | | 6 | Brenton Avdulla | D J Hall | Finished 3.8L behind the winner at Happy Valley last start. 3.8L from the winner in Class 4 grade race around here last start. 3.8L from the winner over this distance last start. Yet to finish in the placings this prep. Ok last start and looks an improver here. |
(7) Flying Phantom | | | | | 3 | Alexis Badel | J J Size | Impressed prior to being sent to the paddock when 5.00L behind Multisuper at Sha Tin. Not out of it. |
(9) Super Glory | | | | | 3 | Andrea Atzeni | P C Ng | Plain when beaten by 5.3L at Sha Tin last start. 5.3L from the winner over this distance last start. Could improve. |
(10) Lucky Quality | | | | | 7 | Y L Chung | C Fownes | Ordinary effort at Class 4 level when beaten 5.8L at Happy Valley. Beaten 5.8L at this track last start. Ran at this distance last start when 5.8L from the winner. Keep in mind. |
(11) Colonel | | | | | 7 | Matthew Poon | P F Yiu | Went to the front and was cut down late behind High Percentage at Happy Valley last start. Beaten 2L around here last time out. 2L from the winner over this distance last time out. Races well at this venue. Can sneak a place. |
Race 67: 12:15 Greyville Independent On Saturday Drill Hall Stakes (grade 2)(Horses at Weight-For-Age Penalties) SAF 7f - All Greyville Races
7th (4) Archimides | | | | | 4 | K J Lihaba | P P Labuschagne | Could not manage better than sixth (this trip Vaal Classic, handicap) latest; not really built on success in a handicap in August at Vaal; hard to make a case for him as has more on his plate in this |
8th (10) Waterberry Lane | | | | | 5 | D Daniels | R Maingard | Finished seventh dropped to 6f in a Grade 2 in February at Kenilworth; has winning form at this course but generally modest form since stakes race success at Greyville in September; couldn't be confident about him |
5th (9) Al Muthana | | | | | 6 | T Godden | R Maingard | Has won some big races and solid career strike-rate; stepped up to 1m2f when well held in the Grade 1 Cape Town Met (Kenilworth) in January; not hard to look beyond him despite dropping in class |
6th (7) Humdinger | | | | | 5 | J P v'd Merwe | M F De Kock | Nothing wrong with her last effort, second, beaten 1½l, in the Grade 1 Empress Club at Turffontein Standside last month; on a losing run but a good career strike-rate; she is the only mare here; ought to be in the mix |
4th (8) Gimmeanotherchance | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | M F De Kock | Finished second dropped back to this trip at Greyville six weeks ago; more on his plate but could figure |
3rd (6) Gladatorian | | | | | 4 | S Veale | S H Ferrie | Successful by 2l latest at Greyville; goes for a hat-trick; more on his plate but can't be ruled out |
2nd (2) Cousin Casey | | | | | 4 | S Khumalo | S G Tarry | Upped to 1m2f last month when 77l back in the Grade 1 Champions Challenge (Turffontein Standside); a good career strike-rate but on a lengthy losing run; now drops in class but hard enough to fancy |
1st (1) Royal Aussie | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | J S Snaith | Finished first dropped back to 1m (Kenilworth) in February in a Listed race, getting the job done by 1½l; should go close despite moving up in class |
(3) Main Defender | | | | | 3 | Card Scratching | A P Peter | Finished ahead of Cousin Casey when landing the Grade 1 Horse Chestnut by just under 3l two months ago upped to 1m at Turffontein Standside; big run looks on the cards |
(5) Texas Red | | | | | 4 | Card Scratching | R Klaasen | A prolific winner during his career; beaten a fair way when eighth in a Grade 2 (Turffontein Standside) latest running over this distance; hard to recommend |
Gladatorian and Humdinger are capable of running well, and Royal Aussie looks a big threat. However, MAIN DEFENDER gets the vote. He is a prolific distance winner (four wins) and landed the Horse Chestnut when last seen.
Race 68: 12:23 Strasbourg Dostiep Handicap - All Strasbourg Races
1st (15) You'Ve Got Sail | | | | | 5 | M Abik | S Schleppi | Finished 9th in a Handicap at Chantilly over 1600m on 30 March. Would be a shock winner and others are preferred |
2nd (9) Waziers | | | | | 4 | H Besnier | F Foresi | Finished 6th in a Handicap at Marseille-Borely over 1200m on 24 April. Four unplaced runs since winning in February. |
3rd (16) Peterhof | | | | | 9 | T Trullier | M Lehmann | Finished 6th in a Handicap at ParisLongChamp over 1400m on 25 April.Not in the best of form lately but has won three times at this course |
(1) Saga Timgad | | | | | 8 | R Mangione | M F Weissmeier | Finished 6th in a Handicap at Deauville over 1400m on 10 April. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(2) Fernando | | | | | 4 | G Meury | M Delcher Sanchez | Non runner |
(3) Balsamand | | | | | 4 | S Breux | W Glanz | A winner at Munchen Riem over 1400m on 14 October. Might need the run-back |
(4) Maavah | | | | | 7 | Martin Seidl | S Schleppi | Unplaced in a Handicap at Deauville over 1400m on 10 April. She performs well at this course and deserves to be respected |
(5) Vinca | | | | | 4 | L Wolff | M Weber | Finished 10th in a Handicap at Lyon-La Soie over 1800m on 30 November. Probably will need the run-back |
(6) Pisorno | | | | | 6 | Eddy Hardouin | Mlle A Budka | Winner in a Handicap at Moulins over 1400m on 14 April. Eddy Hardouin and this gelding get on very well. Can go close |
(7) Total Knockout | | | | | 6 | J Nicoleau | St Richter | Fourth in a Handicap at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 1600m on 21 February. A long losing streak and best watched for now |
(8) Why Chope | | | | | 5 | A Molins | J Parize | Fourth in a Handicap at Marseille-Borely over 1200m on 24 April.Has won three times this year and will find it tougher |
(10) Shyamala | | | | | 9 | S Laurent | M Krebs | Finished 5th in a Handicap at Deauville over 1400m on 10 April. Poor recent efforts and best watched for now |
(11) Laura Trezy | | | | | 5 | F Valle Skar | S Schleppi | Was 7th in a Handicap at Chantilly over 1600m on 30 March. In October was a runner-up at this course and can play a minor role |
(12) Grey Belle | | | | | 5 | B Marie | B Bossert | Decent third in a Handicap at Deauville over 1300m on 2 February. She performs well on the grass and can have a say |
(13) Lady Roche | | | | | 4 | A Nicco | K Kerekes | Finished 6th in a Handicap at this track over 1400m on 22 March. This will be the third run back and has sufficient means to fight for victory |
(14) So Gold | | | | | 4 | E Weissmeier | F X Weissmeier | Finished 6th in a Handicap at Compiegne over 1400m on 16 April. A consistent sort that is seldom far off them |
FERNANDO (2) carries a penalty for the last-start win but is quite capable of winning once again. PISORNO (6) returned to best form with a handicap win last time out but carries a 4kg penalty this time around. PETERHOF (16) has not been at his best recently but is not out of. GREY BELLE (12) is best on the grass and is not out of it over a distance that suits.
Race 69: 12:40 Chartres Prix Du Pmu le - Attele - All Chartres Races
3rd (3) Karma Tejy | | | | | 4 | Ch Chalon | C H Chalon | Was going better than expected when sanctioned in a 2850m Laval Class E last week and can get in on the action if Christophe Chalon manages to keep him trotting |
1st (7) Kash Des Caillons | | | | | 4 | A Favris | Anthonin Favris | Unremarkable colt that came 6th of 14 in a 2850m Laval Class E 2 weeks ago and is not about to shake things up |
4th (12) Kimmajo | | | | | 4 | F Lecanu | N Delamarre | Good 5th of 14 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E early-April considering he was being prepared for this. Sports modified shoeing this time and is not incapable of imposing |
2nd (11) Kevisan | | | | | 4 | E Raffin | J Bruneau | Flew up in a 2700m Graignes Class F a week ago and has everything in his favour here for the double |
(1) Karma Kily | | | | | 4 | F Nivard | F Nivard | Unable to confirm his Laval victory when 11th of 13 in a 2800m Cholet Class F late last month and must reaffirm |
(2) Kantaro Du Tresor | | | | | 4 | L Beileard | Louis Beileard | Solid winner of a 2850m Laval Class F on 19 April. Seldom puts a foot wrong and is not about to start. Place prospect |
(4) Kingston Du Gosier | | | | | 4 | A Wiels | C Herserant | Has not been seen out since coming 5th of 9 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E mid-November. Is barefoot for re-entry though, with Antoine Wiles reining, and must be afforded respect |
(5) Katko Des Champs | | | | | 4 | B Bourgoin | B Bourgoin | Made it 4 straight sanctions when faulting in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche late-March and is not going to generate much interest |
(6) Krac Brenus | | | | | 4 | P Ploquin | P Ploquin | Not without merit but sanctioned early in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Will be one to watch though if he gets off on the right foot |
(8) Kheops Bourbon | | | | | 4 | F Senet | T H Roussel | Last of 9 in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle on 7 April. Has had time to freshen up, is first time barefoot, but others still preferred |
(9) Kabobby Sant | | | | | 4 | B Piton | B Piton | Already beaten when sanctioned in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 1 April, and has no realistic chance |
(10) Kennedy James | | | | | 4 | Cedric Terry | F Terry | 6th of 10 finishers in a 2200m Caen Class E 11 days ago. Barefoot again and with more luck in running, can redeem himself and finish close |
It took 11 runs to get off the mark but KEVISAN (11) came good at Graignes last week and, with Eric Raffin reining, has every chance of confirming. Similarly well-engaged, KIMMAJO (12) races with front pads for the first time and should prove more competitive than he was at Mauquenchy last month. KANTARO DU TRESOR (2) steps up in category after winning at Laval last time but is a progressive trotter and deserves to take his chances. KRAC BRENUS (6) was not the most fortunate at Caen recently and
Race 70: 12:40 Happy Valley D'aguilar Hcp (C5) HK 1650 metres - All Happy Valley (HK) Races
3rd (10) Casa Legend | | | | | 5 | Andrea Atzeni | C W Chang | Ran in a Class 5 race at Sha Tin last time when put in a ordinary effort when beaten by just over 7.00L. 7.00L from the winner at this trip last start. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Look to betting. |
1st (11) Precision Goal | | | | | 5 | Harry Bentley | D A Hayes | Led and battled on well beaten 0.20L at Happy Valley last time out. 0.20L from the winner in Class 5 grade race around here last time out. Place appears best. |
2nd (3) Charming Steed | | | | | 6 | Vincent Ho | C Fownes | Raced handy to the speed and was too strong winning by 2.5L in a Class 5 race at Sha Tin last time out. Strong chance. |
(1) Beau Gosse | | | | | 4 | Hugh Bowman | D Whyte | Not far away last start when 0.50L behind Sweet Diamond at Happy Valley. Beaten 0.50L at this track last start. Been around the mark lately and chance again. |
(2) Medic Elite | | | | | 5 | Y L Chung | P C Ng | Looked good last start when 1.30L behind Northern Beast at Happy Valley. Beaten 1.30L around here last time out. Ran at this trip last start when 1.30L from the winner. Suited in this distance range. Can never be discounted at this track. |
(4) Speedstar | | | | | 5 | Alexis Badel | D J Hall | Below par last start when 6.8L behind Sonic Boom at Sha Tin. Won't trouble any of these. |
(5) Diamond Diamond | | | | | 4 | Luke Ferraris | T P Yung | Ordinary effort behind Northern Beast when a well beaten 19.50L 12th at Happy Valley last time out. 19.50L from the winner in Class 5 level race at this track last time out. 19.50L from the winner at this trip last time out. Needs to improve here. |
(6) Fortune President | | | | | 5 | Matthew Chadwick | Y S Tsui | Didn't show much at all last start when 13.80L 11th at Sha Tin. Ran at this trip last start when 13.80L from the winner. Excels in this distance range. Minor claims. |
(7) Smart Beauty | | | | | 5 | Zac Purton | A S Cruz | Looked good last start when 1.50L behind Northern Beast at Happy Valley. Beaten 1.50L around here last start. Ran at this trip last start when 1.50L from the winner. Chance. |
(8) Asian One | | | | | 6 | Brenton Avdulla | J W Richards | Impressed last start when 3.80L behind Charming Steed at Sha Tin. Ran at this trip last start when 3.80L from the winner. Each way claims. |
(9) Viva A La | | | | | 5 | Matthew Poon | K L Man | Close up last start when 2.80L behind Sweet Diamond at Happy Valley. 2.80L from the winner in Class 5 level race at this track last start. Loves this track. Top chance. |
(12) Hang's Choice | | | | | 6 | Keith Yeung | W Y So | Not far away last start when 3.00L behind Dragon Delight at Happy Valley. 3.00L from the winner in Class 5 level race at this track last time out. 3.00L from the winner at this trip last start. Has some claims. |
Race 71: 12:58 Lyon-Parilly Des Roses Stakes - All Lyon Parilly Races
7th (5) Molionephy | | | | | 2 | M Waldhauser | D Chenu | Failed to feature on debut when back in 10th spot over 1000m in a Class 3 at this venue on the 17th of April 2024. More needed |
6th (4) Allabara | | | | | 2 | M Forest | M Pimbonnet | Not entirely disgraced in 6th position over 1000m at this venue in a Class 3 on the 17th of April 2024. Others make more appeal |
3rd (1) Cylenechope | | | | | 2 | G Millet | A Amezzane | Finished last of six runners over 1000m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 3 on the 22nd of April 2024. Hard to recommend |
5th (7) Blue Hunt | | | | | 2 | A Lemaitre | F Vermeulen | Far from disgraced on debut in 7th over 1100m at Tarbes in a maiden on the 20th of April 2024. Should make vast improvement |
1st (6) Stunning Angel | | | | | 2 | M Barzalona | R Fradet | Finished 7th over 1000m at Marseille Borely in a Class 3 event on the 24th of April 2024. Should improve quite a bit |
4th (3) Anaconda | | | | | 2 | M Grandin | P Cottier | Dam won twice over 1900m and 2000m. This colt is bred to prefer further but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him show up well. Monitor the market |
2nd (2) Nuit De L'Homme | | | | | 2 | C Demuro | C Escuder | Finished 2nd on debut over 1000m at Chantilly on the 4th of April 2024. Looks to be a useful sort in the making. Will go close |
NUIT DE L'HOMME (2) produced a cracking effort on debut when finding one too good and he rates as the one to beat with the extra trip set to suit. BLUE HUNT (7) will enjoy a slight step up in distance and should show up positively after a fair introduction. ANACONDA (3) will likely be doing his best work late on in the piece. STUNNING ANGEL (6) should have more to offer.
Race 72: 13:10 Happy Valley Wyndham Hcp (C4) HK 1200 metres - All Happy Valley (HK) Races
1st (5) Ace Power | | | | | 3 | Andrea Atzeni | D Whyte | Ordinary effort when beaten by close to 9L at Sha Tin last start. 9L from the winner at this trip last start. Take on trust. |

3rd (7) Wood On Fire | | | | | 8 | Karis Teetan | C W Chang | Didn't show much at all last start when 10.30L 11th at Happy Valley. Beaten 10.30L at this circuit last start. Loves this track. Chance. |
(1) Denfield | | | | | 4 | Y L Chung | C S Shum | Even effort behind Storming Dragon when beaten 3.8L at Happy Valley last time out. 3.8L from the winner in Barrier Trial grade race around here last start. Ran at this distance last start when 3.8L from the winner. Can be in this for a long way. |
(2) Speed Sword | | | | | 4 | Derek Leung | F C Lor | Looked Good last start when raced on the speed and finished 3L behind Party Warrior at Conghua Turf. Ran at this trip last start when 3L from the winner. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Place looks best. |
(3) Racingrace | | | | | 3 | Zac Purton | D J Hall | Not far away last start when 1.8L behind Sight Happy at Happy Valley. 1.8L from the winner in Barrier Trial level race at this circuit last start. Roughie. |
(4) Vantastic Choice | | | | | 5 | E C W Wong | C H Yip | Beaten 8.50L at Sha Tin last time. 8.50L from the winner at this distance last time out. Consider. |

(9) Vulcanus | | | | | 3 | Matthew Poon | Y S Tsui | Beaten 4.80L last start when a $77 in the market. Has really struggled this preparation. Has some claims. |
(10) Dan Attack | | | | | 5 | Anthony Hamelin | J W Richards | Nice run last start when 3.00L behind Exuberant at Happy Valley. Beaten 3.00L at this circuit last start. Ran at this trip last start when 3.00L from the winner. Hard to go past. |
(12) Multidarling | | | | | 4 | B Thompson | T P Yung | Ordinary effort behind California Touch when a well beaten 7.50L 5th at Happy Valley last time out. Beaten 7.50L around here last start. 7.50L from the winner at this distance last time out. Would need to improve sharply. |
Race 73: 13:15 Chartres Prix Des Voitures Anciennes De Beauce - Attele - All Chartres Races
4th (1) Jayzi Du Bourg | | | | | 5 | M Legros | B Marie | Unraced since coming last of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E late-January. Just front shoes off and will pose no danger |
3rd (14) Jotunn Du Dome | | | | | 5 | Ph Daugeard | P H Daugeard | Quality element starting for the first time since coming 2nd of 13 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D early-December. Is better than most here and even if not 100% fit, can still pick up a cheque |
2nd (4) Just In Love | | | | | 0 | E Raffin | P Moulin | Reassuring 2nd of 8 finishers in a 2800m Tours Class E mid-April. Eric Raffin reining this time and will be expected to play a leading role |
1st (9) Joueur Du Lupin | | | | | 5 | A Wiels | J Marmion | 9th of 11 in a 2825m Lignieres Class F on 14 April. Won last time here, goes first time barefoot, and can give JOB DE CHOISEL (8) a run for his money |
(2) Jingle Pass | | | | | 5 | A Naveau | F Joseph | Faithful servant making his first appearance since coming 2nd of 11 in a 2725m Pornichet Class E last September. Is barefoot for re-entry though and, if race-fit, can get in on the action |
(3) Java Du Bas Bosq | | | | | 5 | F Giard | F Giard | Returns to racing barefoot after being pulled-up in a 2450m Castillonnes Class E 10 days ago but chances still appear limited |
(5) Judicious Daydream | | | | | 5 | J F Vallette | J F Vallette | Capricious type coming off a 3rd straight sanction, most recently a 2625m Cherbourg Class F 10 days ago but, with application, could pleasantly surprise |
(6) Java Besp | | | | | 5 | F Lecanu | B Marie | Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2175m Vincennes Class E early-February. Just hind shoes on and can be ruled out |
(7) Jaida De May | | | | | 5 | J Vanmeerbeck | J Vanmeerbeck | Makes 2024 bow, not having raced since coming last of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E late-November. Shoes and and no threat |
(8) Job De Choisel | | | | | 5 | A Barrier | S G Dupont | Made short work of a 2825m Cordemais Class E 2 weeks ago. Is new to Chartres but, in current form, can make it 2 on the trot |
(10) Joldy Love | | | | | 5 | P Vercruysse | J Baudron | Sanctioned, when well-backed, in a 2825m Cordemais Class E a fortnight ago. Form is not in doubt though and will be no pushover if Pierre Vercruysse keeps him trotting |
(11) Jerzinho Sport | | | | | 5 | J Malin | Mme Desmontils | Never taxed when 9th of 13 on comeback in a 2875m Argentan Class E mid-April. Looked a race shy though and is not a priority |
(12) Jockstrap | | | | | 5 | Cedric Terry | J Niskanen | Sanctioned in last 3, latterly a 2700m Class D at La Capelle on Sunday, and backs up with limited aspiration |
(13) Jonas | | | | | 5 | E Garnier | F Terry | 9th of 10, on re-entry, in a 2650m Alencon Class D late-April and can be disregarded |
Enjoying something of a renaissance since returning to racing barefoot, JOB DE CHOISEL (8) should find Chartres to his liking and looks a marginally better bet than the perfectly-engaged, and barefoot, JOUEUR DU LUPIN (9) who has never disappointed at the venue. Particularly encouraging at Tours last time out, and sporting a new configuration for the occasion, JUST IN LOVE (4) must be taken more seriously this time. JOLDY LOVE (10) incurs the penalty but, with application, can put things right.
Race 74: 13:25 Greyville World Sports Betting Guineas (grade 2)(For 3 year-olds) SAF 1m - All Greyville Races
4th (1) Hluhluwe | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | Upped to 1m2f at Kenilworth when fifth of nine in the Grade 1 Cape Derby in February just under 5l behind Green With Envy; good career strike-rate and tenth in the Grade 1 King's Plate in January; makes limited appeal despite dropping in class |
3rd (4) Snow Pilot | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | J S Snaith | Could not compete with Mid Winter Wind when fourth (Greyville) latest; landed the Grade 1 Cape Guineas in December |
1st (3) Green With Envy | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | D Kannemeyer | Chases a hat-trick; got the job done in the Grade 1 Cape Derby, winning by just under 3l in February at Kenilworth (had Hluhluwe back in fifth); he should go close |
2nd (2) Sandringham Summit | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | D Nieuwenhuizen | Has produced a string of consistent efforts of late and won the Gauteng Guineas three months ago; finished first dropped to 7f in a Grade 2 last month (Turffontein Standside), form which has been nicely boosted; respected |
(5) Royal Edition | | | | | 3 | R A Venniker | P P Labuschagne | Unable to land a blow in sixth (this distance Turffontein Standside, graduation plate) 53 days ago; with more on his plate hard to fancy |
(6) Mid Winter Wind | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | S G Tarry | Continued his winning streak six weeks ago and progressing nicely; got the job done by 1½l attempting a Grade 3 for the first time (Greyville) 38 days ago (had Snow Pilot back in fourth); more on his plate this time but has to be high on list |
(7) Navajo Nation | | | | | 3 | S Moodley | R A Hill | Has won previously at this course; beaten half a length latest when sent off 20-1 at Scottsville in a Listed race; hard to entertain with this looking tougher than last time |
Green With Envy is capable of running well, and Mid Winter Wind may have his stamina stretched over this trip. However, SANDRINGHAM SUMMIT can be superior to his rivals. He has been running to a consistent level lately and the form of his latest run has been boosted since.
Race 75: 13:30 Chester CAA Stellar Handicap (0-90) (3) 3yo GB 6f 17y - All Chester Races
(9) Siobhanbrogan | | | | | | 3 | Jason Hart | Hugo Palmer | Best to forgive her latest effort (bled from nose); progressive form otherwise and won at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) the time before; however, has the worst of the draw returned to turf. |
(7) Cargin Bhui | | | | | | 3 | Callum Rodriguez | David & Nicola Barron | Disappointing favourite at Southwell (handicap debut) on latest AW start, failing to replicate the good form he showed in January; bit to prove from difficult draw back on turf |
(8) Call Glory | | | | | | 3 | Alistair Rawlinson | Michael Appleby | Gelded since last appearance four months ago; 0-5 for current stable and looks exposed but has proved fairly consistent in handicaps (turf/AW); could go well from good draw. |
1st (5) Garfield Shadow | | | | | | 3 | David Nolan | Richard Fahey | Two from two as a 2yo, winning 5f novice events at Hamilton (good to soft) and Newcastle (AW); should be as effective over 6f; unfavourably drawn on reappearance but otherwise looks a promising sort. |
(2) Exponista | | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | David Loughnane | Return to 6f looks a plus with 5f reappearance under her belt; however, she's handicapped on a Group 3 effort that may flatter her; unfavourably treated on the rest of her form. |
(14) Macanudo | | | | | | 3 | Franny Norton | Ian Williams | Off the mark in 5f AW novice contest in February when with Olly Murphy; has something to find on the balance of his form for new yard and is unfavourably drawn; opposed. |
(6) Tsunami Spirit | | | | | | 3 | Benoit De La Sayette | Kevin Philippart De Foy | Gained his sole 2yo success at Kempton (6f, AW); creditable second in three-runner race over that C&D on reappearance; seems competitively weighted off same mark but now goes into a much deeper field. |
(1) Billy Webster | | | | | | 3 | Callum Shepherd | George Scott | 3-3 over 5f, the last two wins on AW; ran respectably over 6f at Lingfield on last appearance but he's lumbered with top weight in a warm race returned to turf; needs to resume his progress. |
(4) Beyond Borders | | | | | | 3 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | Acts on any ground; productive 2yo campaign included four wins (turf/AW); solid second, splitting subsequent scorers, at Pontefract (6f) five weeks ago; respected off 1lb lower from the plum draw. |
3rd (13) Old Chums | | | | | | 3 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | Tom Dascombe | Has form figures of 13122, all on AW, since handicapping; collared in the final strides over 7f at Kempton most recently; well drawn back on turf and the return to 6f looks favourable; should go well. |
(10) Auric | | | | | | 3 | David Egan | Hugo Palmer | Thrice-raced colt whose Kempton AW win is solid form (had a few subsequent scorers behind him); good second in Windsor handicap (6f, good) later in April; open to further progress and is one for the shortlist. |
(11) Winged Messenger | | | | | | 3 | Hollie Doyle | Julie Camacho | Creditable second over C&D (good to soft) last September, then went one better at Hamilton; good third, clear of remainder, at Thirsk (5f, soft) on handicap/seasonal debut; solid claims off same mark. |
(12) Stash The Cash | | | | | | 3 | Duran Fentiman | Tim Easterby | Recorded a clearcut win at Catterick (5f, heavy; off 8lb lower) on handicap/seasonal debut, leaving the impression he'll be as effective back over 6f; the type to improve further; likely player from handy draw. |
2nd (3) Al Shabab Storm | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Solid 2yo campaign featured a win at Goodwood (soft) and respectable effort in Doncaster Listed race (heavy), both over 6f; below par on reappearance (7f) but may rebound with that outing under his belt. |
The meeting commences with a competitive 3yo handicap. Preference is for BEYOND BORDERS, whose latest effort is working out well and who has the plum draw. From the adjacent stall, solid contender Old Chums is second choice. The shortlist is completed by Stash The Cash, Winged Messenger and Auric.[Steve Boow]
Race 76: 13:33 Lyon-Parilly Parc Locmaria Stakes - All Lyon Parilly Races
3rd (2) Safwan | | | | | 3 | F Veron | E D Monfort | Winner over 1800m at La Teste in a Class 2 on the 10th of April 2024. Will need to up his game to challenge |
1st (6) Bayamoon | | | | | 3 | A Werle | G Lemer | Comfortable winner over 1600m at La Teste in a maiden contest on the 23rd of March 2024. More needed to feature |
4th (5) Kiaro | | | | | 3 | T Piccone | H A Pantall | Finished 2nd over track/trip last time out on the 17th of April 2024 in a Class 2 contest. Place chance |
2nd (4) Memphis Tennessee | | | | | 3 | T Bachelot | Y Bonnefoy | Facile winner over track/trip in a Class 2 event on the 17th of April 2024. Should be hard to oppose |
(1) Rock The Kasbah | | | | | 3 | S Planque | F Chappet | Finished 6th over 1600m in a Class 1 at Parislongchamp on the 18th of April 2024. Should earn a cheque |
(3) Cheri Man | | | | | 3 | M Grandin | P Cottier | Finished a close up 5th over 1400m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 2 on the 22nd of April 2024. Capable of running into the money |
MEMPHIS TENNESSEE (4) made a real statement with his latest victory and sets a pretty high standard that should be good enough to see him win again. KIARO (5) was a clear second best behind the top choice and at the same weight terms, it doesn't seem likely that he can reverse the form. ROCK THE KASBAH (1) has been taking on slightly stronger and should run a solid race. CHERI MAN (5) should appreciate being back up in trip.
Race 77: 13:40 Happy Valley The Sports Club Diamond Jubilee Challenge Cup (C4) HK 1200 metres - All Happy Valley (HK) Races
3rd (12) Falcon Court | | | | | 4 | Andrea Atzeni | D A Hayes | Wasn't far away last time at Happy Valley in a Class 4 race when 3.30L from the winner as a $26 chance. 3.30L from the winner in Class 4 grade race at this circuit last start. 3.30L from the winner at this distance last start. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Consider for wider exotics. |
2nd (2) Telecom Speed | | | | | 6 | Karis Teetan | Y S Tsui | Impressed last start when raced on the speed and finished 1.80L behind Our Lucky Glory at Happy Valley. 1.80L from the winner in Class 4 class race at this track last start. 1.80L from the winner at this trip last time out. Excels in this distance range. Strong claims. |
1st (1) Righteous Arion | | | | | 4 | Hugh Bowman | A S Cruz | Looked good last start when 1.3L behind High Percentage at Happy Valley. Beaten 1.3L at this circuit last time out. Ran at this trip last start when 1.3L from the winner. Loves this track. Consider. |
(3) Ernest Feeling | | | | | 6 | Anthony Hamelin | J W Richards | Sat outside the leader and wanted it more when scoring by 2.5L in a Barrier Trial race at Conghua Turf. Races well at this venue. Strong winning chance. |
(4) Savvy Chic | | | | | 5 | Derek Leung | F C Lor | Didn't show much at all last start when 8.80L 11th at Happy Valley. Beaten 8.80L at this circuit last start. Ran at this distance last start when 8.80L from the winner. Loves this circuit. Keep in mind. |
(5) Victorythirtythree | | | | | 3 | Matthew Poon | P F Yiu | Won by a short head last start. Knockout chance. |
(6) Sea Sapphire | | | | | 4 | Alexis Badel | P C Ng | Not far away last start when 2.3L behind King Miles at Sha Tin. Ran over this distance last start when 2.3L from the winner. Chance. |
(7) Deep Pursuit | | | | | 4 | Harry Bentley | C Fownes | Ordinary effort behind Lo Pan Spirit when a well beaten 7.5L 11th at Sha Tin last time out. 7.5L from the winner at this distance last start. Needs to improve here. |
(8) Party Warrior | | | | | 6 | Keagan D De Melo | C S Shum | All the way Conghua Turf winner last start in Barrier Trial grade. Suited in this distance range. Racing consistently and loathe to leave out. |
(9) Roaring Bebe | | | | | 4 | Zac Purton | D J Hall | Ran in a Barrier Trial race at Sha Tin last run when put in a ordinary effort when beaten by just over 5.8L. 5.8L from the winner over this distance last time out. Yet to finish in the placings this prep. Can sneak a place. |
(10) Super Ten | | | | | 6 | B Thompson | C W Chang | Struggled last start when 6.00L behind Multisuper at Sha Tin. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Prefer in something a bit easier. |
(11) Massive Talent | | | | | 4 | Brenton Avdulla | Mark Newnham | D Whyte 4yo first starter by Swiss Ace. Monitor betting moves. |
Race 78: 13:40 Kelso Aitken Turnbull Architects Handicap Hurdle (0-120) (4) 4yo+ GB 2m 6f 151y - All Kelso Races
(15) Swift Reply | | | | | | 8 | John Kington | Simon Waugh | Lightly raced 8yo but he struggled in a Southwell handicap (2m4f, soft) when last seen in February and is a long way out of the weights here on his return; opposable. |
(7) Ilikedwayurthinkin | | | | | | 10 | Richie McLernon | Ben Haslam | Very useful hurdler/chaser in his prime but he struggled in final few starts in Ireland and it's been the same story so far for this yard; mark continues to fall but this 10yo needs a major revival back up in trip. |
(1) Percy's Word | | | | | | 10 | Aaron Anderson | Jessica Bedi | Easy win in a Newton Abbot seller (2m2f, good) for Dan Skelton in September 2022 but he's not been since then; well treated on his old handicap form but he's untried beyond 2m4f and has something to prove for new yard after a long absence. |
(14) Kajaki | | | | | | 11 | Danny McMenamin | Nicky Richards | Won off today's mark at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last April, but well beaten last autumn on last two starts and others make greater appeal than this 11yo; visor is removed and blinkers return. |
(9) Pure Sirloin | | | | | | 6 | Henry Brooke | Sandy Forster | Won for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland at start of 2023, but left that stable after two disappointing efforts last summer and makes debut for Sandy Forster after 233 days off; others have more pressing claims. |
(12) Haveyougotmymoney | | | | | | 6 | Bruce Lynn | Paul Robson | Ended last year on a low note but he won at Southwell (3m, good) in the autumn and was a close second on next two runs including at this track (3m2f, soft); drops back in trip after 142 days off but he has a decent record when fresh and is not ruled out. |
(13) Starlyte | | | | | | 7 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Well handicapped on his old form but last win was in November 2022 and he's come up short in small-field events here (3m2f/2m5f) in last two runs; others are more persuasive. |
(5) Brandy McQueen | | | | | | 7 | Edward Austin | Harriet Graham & Gary Rutherford | Four-time hurdle winner who won by 19l over fences here (2m7f, good to soft) in October; well treated on that form but he's lost his way in last four starts and was well held back over hurdles last time; has something to prove and he needs to turn things around; cheekpieces removed. |
3rd (2) Billy Boi Blue | | | | | | 7 | Jonathan Burke | David Killahena & Graeme McPherson | Delivered on earlier promise when winning Hereford maiden (2m3f, good) in January and was not discredited when second of three on his latest outing; might have some more improvement to come in handicaps and he's respected on this step back up in trip. |
2nd (10) Dream Boy | | | | | | 6 | Sam Coltherd | Stuart Coltherd | Won 2m course maiden (heavy) in December; finished fourth in all three runs since but he was only beaten 3l behind Kingston Bridge in a big-field handicap here (2m5f, soft) last time; rallied well in that race and he looks interesting on his step up to this trip. |
(4) Magic Wave | | | | | | 8 | Jamie Hamilton | Mark Walford | Bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle winner, both on good to soft; flopped when favourite on Wetherby handicap debut (pulled up) in February, but he still has potential after only four hurdle starts and it wouldn't be a surprise if he bounced back with a big run after a break. |
(6) Harper Valley | | | | | | 7 | Ross Chapman | Rebecca Menzies | Made it 3-8 over hurdles when scoring at Catterick (2m3f, heavy) in February; creditable third over 2m5f here (soft) next time but he didn't fire on his return visit three weeks ago; cheekpices are now added on this drop back in grade but he needs more progress. |
4th (11) Swallows Song | | | | | | 6 | Conor O'Farrell | Iain Jardine | Bumper winner who is 0-8 over jumps and has been held in chase handicaps in his last three runs; wasn't beaten far here (2m7f, soft) last time but this is a much deeper race and he needs to find more back over hurdles. |
(8) Kingston Bridge | | | | | | 6 | Craig Nichol | Ewan Whillans | 6yo who has not been easy to predict but he got back on the scoresheet when beating 15 rivals in a series final here (2m5f, soft) last month; up 6lb but he kept on well last time and is open to more progress back up in trip; shortlisted. |
1st (3) Idem | | | | | | 6 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Won last year on first two hurdle starts including at this track (2m5f, good); no joy in last three runs but he looked dangerous when falling two out at Wetherby in March and his latest fifth at Ayr (3m, soft) was a respectable effort; now drops back in trip and he's not ruled out back at the scene of his last win. |
An open race in which the vote goes to KINGSTON BRIDGE, who stayed on strongly when beating 15 rivals in a series final here last month and could find more progress on this step back up in trip. The unexposed handicap newcomer Billy Boi Blue is feared most, although Dream Boy caught the eye with his rallying effort behind the selection last time and is respected. Idem could be dangerous back at the scene of his last win, while others to consider are Magic Wave and Haveyougotmymoney.[David Moon]
Race 79: 13:50 Chartres Prix Ecurie Ch. Bridault - Monte - All Chartres Races
3rd (1) Irlando D'Or | | | | | 6 | J Condette | J Poutrel | 8th of 14 in a 2800m Cholet harness Class F last Wednesday and makes his monte debut with limited ambition |
4th (7) Jusquiame | | | | | 5 | A Rebeche | A Rigo | Has not been seen out since being sanctioned early in a 2750m Cabourg Class F early-January but has the quality to get straight back in the game. First-5 prospect |
2nd (9) If De La Coudre | | | | | 6 | F Gence | F Gence | Left a good impression here Mid-April before faulting in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F a fortnight later. Fitted with front pads this time and, if focused, can play a leading role |
1st (3) Joviale Gema | | | | | 5 | A Gendrot | M Sassier | 5th of 13 in a 2725m Graignes harness Class F a week ago. Showed potential at Parilly late-March and, in this company, looks a decent place prospect |
(2) Jehan | | | | | 5 | K Petitjean | B Marie | Makes just 2nd start under the saddle after faulting early in a 2850m Class E at Maure-de-Bretagne on 30 April and is unlikely to garner much support |
(4) Izoard Dairpet | | | | | 6 | Mme M K Duval | B Marie | Returns to the monte code after coming 6th of 7 in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne claimer mid-March. Comes here fresh but others still preferred |
(5) Istralande | | | | | 6 | Mme L Fauchon | C Bedel | Last of 9 in a 2800m Cholet Class E late-April. Will be fit, sports modified shoeing, and can get in on the action |
(6) Jerika De Keryann | | | | | 5 | E Raffin | C H Clin | Sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes Class D a week a go. Complicated but has previously won under these conditions and, with Eric Raffin onboard, can return to competitive ways |
(8) J'Adore D'Eurvad | | | | | 5 | N Perron | G Roig-Balaguer | Last of 7 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 29 March. Is confirmed here but represents more a minor place chance this time |
(10) Jet Meslois | | | | | 5 | T Vlaemynck Debost | P Belloche | Made up for Caen sanction when close 2nd in a 2700m Graignes Class D last Friday, and can go one better if Tom Debost keeps him trotting |
He is not the easiest of horses to handle but JET MESLOIS (10) made up for lost time at Graignes last week and looks every part the horse to beat. That said, IF DE LA COUDRE (9) reverts to a proven formula and will be no soft touch if he can replicate his penultimate performance. JOVIALE GEMA (3) showed promise on her monte debut and should prove competitive here, as should JERIKA DE KERYANN (6) if Eric Raffin can work his magic.
Race 80: 14:05 Chester CAA Stellar Lily Agnes EBF Conditions Stakes (GBB/IRE Incentive Race) GB 5f 15y - All Chester Races
(2) Ettorino | | | | | | 2 | Franny Norton | Craig Lidster | Finished only tenth of 15 in a substandard Brocklesby that hasn't worked out particularly well; besides the modest claims on form, he has the worst of the draw. |
(3) Herecomesthebear | | | | | | 2 | Jason Hart | Hugo Palmer | 22,000euros foal, £65,000 yearling; by Kodi Bear; dam German 8.5f winner, half-sister to French 12.5f Group 2 winner Savoir Vivre; one of two newcomers for this yard; check the betting. |
(1) Arabian Cobra | | | | | | 2 | Oisin Murphy | Hugo Palmer | 60,000gns yearling; brother to French 7.5f-1m1f winner Darlinghurst (including Listed), out of a 5f winner (Chester 2yo and AW Group 3); one of two newcomers for Hugo Palmer; heed the market signals. |
(5) Daisy Inthe Breeze | | | | | | 2 | Hector Crouch | Dominic Ffrench Davis | Held on by 1l from strong-finishing Sir Geoff Morgan at Brighton (good) last week, having appeared to know her job better than that rival; not sure to progress much but is nicely drawn. |
(7) Kodibeat | | | | | | 2 | Daniel Tudhope | Paul & Oliver Cole | Justified favouritism with neck success under Danny Tudhope at Kempton (AW) four weeks ago; the form isn't working out well but she's open to progress, being a late foal (not quite two yet). |
3rd (8) Lady Lightning | | | | | | 2 | Hollie Doyle | Ed Dunlop | Led from an early stage and scored a shade comfortably at Wolverhampton (AW) one month ago; should take well to Chester and evidently has the speed to take advantage of the plum draw; interesting. |
1st (11) Seraphim Angel | | | | | | 2 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | Tom Dascombe | Respectable fourth in good-ground maiden at Newmarket's Craven meeting, having shown speed; likely to be suited by Chester and helps to give Tom Dascombe, who also runs Sir Geoff Morgan, an interesting hand. |
(9) Night In Paris | | | | | | 2 | Jamie Spencer | George Boughey | Promising effort from the front at Ripon (soft) where she went down only narrowly to the market leader, pair clear; not ideally drawn but holds a leading chance on bare form. |
4th (4) Sir Geoff Morgan | | | | | | 2 | Alistair Rawlinson | Tom Dascombe | Finished 1l second to Daisy Inthe Breeze at Brighton (good) last Wednesday, putting in strong late work; looked green and seems likely to improve for the experience; could go well from handy draw. |
2nd (6) Flicka's Girl | | | | | | 2 | Rossa Ryan | David Loughnane | Made all for emphatic success at Wolverhampton (AW) on debut; beaten favourite (faded into modest fourth) at Bath since but this course may suit her better; has Rossa Ryan back on board and remains of interest. |
The percentage call goes to LADY LIGHTNING, who has the plum draw and looks the type to take well to Chester. Sir Geoff Morgan (well drawn; second choice) and Seraphim Angel are interesting contenders for Tom Dascombe, who has a solid Lily Agnes record (one win, several placed) in the last decade, while Night In Paris has a good chance provided she overcomes a difficult draw. A few others also have possibilities.[Steve Boow]
Race 81: 14:10 Happy Valley Glenealy Hcp (C4) HK 1800 metres - All Happy Valley (HK) Races
3rd (5) Storm Winner | | | | | 3 | Vincent Ho | C Fownes | Didn't show much at all last start when 8.00L 7th at Happy Valley. Beaten 8.00L around here last time out. Has really struggled this preparation. Rough hope. |
1st (1) Escape Route | | | | | 6 | Brenton Avdulla | J J Size | Impressed when settled on speed last start and was 3.5L behind Legion Of Merit at Sha Tin. Can be in this for a long way. |
2nd (7) Forever Glorious | | | | | 6 | Karis Teetan | K W Lui | Ran well last start when 3.50L behind Flying Silver at Happy Valley. Beaten 3.50L at this circuit last time out. Ran over this distance last time out when 3.50L from the winner. Consider. |
(2) Serangoon | | | | | 4 | Harry Bentley | A S Cruz | Nice run last start when 0.3L behind Happy Soul at Conghua Turf. Hit the line hard last start and top chance again. |
(3) Pegasus General | | | | | 6 | E C W Wong | K H Ting | Average effort at Class 4 level when beaten 6.50L at Happy Valley. 6.50L from the winner in Class 4 level race around here last start. Can figure. |
(4) Precise Express | | | | | 8 | Andrea Atzeni | P F Yiu | Looked good last start when 4.00L behind Turin Warrior at Happy Valley. 4.00L from the winner in Class 4 grade race at this circuit last start. Knockout chance. |
(6) Flying Silver | | | | | 5 | Y L Chung | C S Shum | Raced handy to the speed and was too strong winning by 0.8L in a Class 4 race at Happy Valley last time out. Got the job done at this track last start to win by 0.8l. Loves this track. Ran really well last start and is a leading contender here. |
(8) Mr Aladdin | | | | | 4 | Zac Purton | P C Ng | Not far away last start when 2.8L behind Victorythirtythree at Sha Tin. Place preferred. |
(9) Chater Gold | | | | | 3 | Derek Leung | D A Hayes | Beaten 6.80L at Happy Valley last start. Beaten 6.80L at this circuit last time out. Poor effort last start and hard to see it turning the tables here. |
(10) Kyrus Unicorn | | | | | 8 | Alexis Badel | D J Hall | Nice run last start when 0.80L behind Galvanic at Sha Tin. Take on trust. |
(11) Aromatica | | | | | 4 | Keagan D De Melo | W Y So | Average effort at Class 4 level before a spell when beaten 4.50L at Happy Valley. 4.50L from the winner in Class 4 grade race at this track last time out. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Check betting. |
(12) Turtle Again | | | | | 4 | B Thompson | T P Yung | Ran well last start when 2.30L behind Flying Silver at Happy Valley. Beaten 2.30L around here last time out. 2.30L from the winner at this trip last time out. Knockout hope. |
Race 82: 14:10 Kelso Howden Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race) GB 2m 4f 189y - All Kelso Races
11th (2) Beechmount | | | | | | 7 | Tom Midgley | Chris Grant | Pulled up in sole point and he's struggled at massive prices in three hurdle runs (2m4f/2m5f) since September. |
8th (7) Rock N Roll Champ | | | | | | 6 | Craig Nichol | Sandy Forster | 0-5 in Irish points and was a remote sixth of 12 at a big price here (2m2f, soft) on his hurdling debut last month. |
5th (4) Looking Splendid | | | | | | 6 | Bruce Lynn | Harriet Graham & Gary Rutherford | Finished down the field at big prices in three bumpers and same story in two hurdle runs this year; has a lot to find here and minor handicaps will be more suitable. |
7th (5) Major Champion | | | | | | 5 | Danny McMenamin | Maurice Barnes | Pulled up in three of his four points and was tailed off in the other one; tongue-tie is now added but he can only be watched on his hurdling/stable debut. |
9th (14) Para Handy | | | | | | 4 | Jamie Hamilton | Tim Easterby | Beaten more than 30l at Wetherby (bumper/hurdle) in first two starts and was pulled up at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) in March; no appeal. |
12th (3) Blue Plan | | | | | | 5 | Ross Chapman | Rebecca Menzies | Cost 1,700euros as a foal; brother to a bumper/2m4f hurdle winner but this looks a tough assignment on his debut and he's probably best watched. |
6th (12) Disco Annie | | | | | | 6 | Nathan Moscrop | Rebecca Menzies | Runner-up in Irish point in November 2022 but she's struggled in three bumpers since including after wind surgery at Ayr last month; now goes hurdling over a longer trip but she has plenty to prove; one of three runners for yard. |
10th (10) Telemetry | | | | | | 6 | Thomas Dowson | Philip Kirby | Closely related to a 2m4f/2m5f hurdle winner; second in a Wetherby bumper (2m, good to soft) on debut last April but hasn't matched that form in two runs this year; now goes up in trip on his hurdling debut but he needs major improvement. |
3rd (13) Killybegs Jet Lady | | | | | | 7 | Alan Doyle | Lucinda Russell | Won an Irish point at the end of 2022 but she's not shown much in three hurdle runs since October; was reported to have made a respiratory noise over C&D in March and remains best watched for now; stablemate of Sea God. |
(9) Split The Bill | | | | | | 6 | Aaron Anderson | Rebecca Menzies | Inconsistent nine-race maiden; fair third of eight in Aintree handicap (2m4f, good) on stable debut last June but he's not been seen since and this looks tough back in a novice after 327 days off; others preferred. |
2nd (11) Tigga Time | | | | | | 5 | Ryan Mania | Sandy Thomson | Won a soft-ground point on debut last spring; showed promise in first two runs under rules (bumper/2m4f hurdle) this winter but his form went the wrong way when a remote fourth here (2m2f) last month; has bit to prove after that and he will have better opportunities in handicaps. |
1st (1) Magical Hill | | | | | | 5 | Henry Brooke | Patrick Neville | Third in an Irish point and the same this year in soft-ground bumpers at Catterick and Market Rasen; weak 8-1 shot on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month but he made all and scored with something in hand; this is much tougher under a penalty but he has a good pedigree and is open to progress upped in trip. |
4th (8) Sea God | | | | | | 5 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Winning British pointer who was an easy winner of two-horse bumper at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft; 1-5) in December; this is a very different test but he has stamina in his useful jumping pedigree and is an interesting recruit to hurdling; new yard won this in 2022. |
(6) Pinot Rouge | | | | | | 6 | Edward Austin | Susan Corbett | Irish point winner who has improved with each of her three hurdle runs, including a win in a mares' Listed race at Doncaster (3m, soft) in March and a rallying fourth in Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree last month; now drops back in trip but she sets clear a standard here and should be hard to beat back in much calmer waters. |
There doesn't seem to be much strength in depth in this race and the one that stands out is PINOT ROUGE, who won a Listed event in March and was a rallying fourth in the Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree last time. This drop back in trip is probably not ideal but she sets a clear standard on her latest form and should be hard to beat back in much calmer waters. Point/bumper winner Sea God looks an interesting recruit to this sphere and he's feared most, ahead of Magical Hill, who made all on his hurdling debut at Huntingdon last month. [David Moon]
Race 83: 14:15 Lyon-Parilly Grand Prix de Lyon Parilly Handicap - All Lyon Parilly Races
3rd (15) Treatwood | | | | | 4 | L Boisseau | N Bellanger | Moderate effort when finishing 9th over 2000m in a Class 3 course qualifier at Fontainebleau on the 13th of April 2024. Easy to look elsewhere |
1st (3) Heliopolis | | | | | 5 | M Barzalona | P Cottier | Poor performance in 6th over 2000m at Marseille Pont De Vivaux in a Class 4 claimer on the 12th of April 2024. Would be a surprise winner |
4th (10) Giraffe | | | | | 4 | M Grandin | P Cottier | Finished 4th over 2150m at Parislongchamp in a Class 2 divided handicap on the 25th of April 2024. Include in the play |
2nd (2) Kaneshya | | | | | 5 | T Piccone | H A Pantall | Runner up over track/trip in a Class 2 event on the 20th of April 2024. Brings the right form into this. Should go very close |
(1) Kosakenzipfel | | | | | 5 | Rene Piechulek | Frau S Steinberg | Not seen to best effect over 2400m when in 9th spot at Chantilly in a Class 2 divided handicap on the 4th of April 2024. Should run a bold race |
(4) Grand Balcon | | | | | 5 | T Bachelot | J Merienne | Well held in 13th position over 1900m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 2 divided handicap on the 22nd of April 2024. Others make more appeal |
(5) Utamaro | | | | | 6 | M Forest | Frau C Bocskai | Finished 3rd over 2400m at Chantilly in a Class 3 course qualifier on the 26th of April 2024. Will be involved |
(6) Astaire | | | | | 4 | A Madamet | W Hickst | Comfortably held in 8th spot over 3000m in a Class 2 at Parislongchamp on the 18th of April 2024. One to pass by |
(7) Lorenzo De Medici | | | | | 5 | C Soumillon | A&g Botti | Fair effort in 6th spot over 2000m in a Class 2 divided handicap at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on the 12th of February 2024. Could outrun odds |
(8) Esprit Joyeux | | | | | 5 | H Boutin | J P Gauvin | Far from disgraced in 6th position over 2200m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 3 handicap on the 17th of April 2024. Place chance |
(9) Alerio | | | | | 5 | G Mosse | A Schutz | Narrowly denied success in 2nd over 2400m at Chantilly in a Class 3 course qualifier on the 26th of April 2024. Big runner |
(11) Santurin | | | | | 7 | A Lemaitre | Frau C Bocskai | Cracking 2nd over 2400m at Lyon La Soie in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 30th of November 2023. Each way chance |
(12) Kayrat | | | | | 8 | A Orani | Mme M Scandella-Lacaille | Winner over 3000m in a Class 3 handicap at Toulouse on the 21st of April 2024. Will be tested in this division |
(13) Ridwaan | | | | | 7 | M Waldhauser | C Martinon | Erratic type that finished 8th over 1900m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 22nd of April 2024. Hard to predict |
(14) Diane'Star | | | | | 4 | C Demuro | P Cottier | Finished 7th over 2150m at at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 25th of April 2024. Others make more appeal |
(16) Cote Jardin | | | | | 7 | M Velon | J Chaloupka | Finished 5th over 2400m at Lyon La Soie in a Class 3 handicap on the 24th of March 2024. Place claims |
KANESHYA (2) is in solid form and looks to have bright winning claims on the back of an encouraging second. ALERIO (9) was unlucky last time out and has solid form over the trip so should make his presence felt in a big way. KOSAKENZIPFEL (1) is far better than his latest effort and should show some of his earlier form here. UTAMARO (3) arrives in consistent form and will deliver a bold performance.
Race 84: 14:32 Chartres Grand Prix De L'odyssee - Attele - All Chartres Races
3rd (1) Feldspath Thepol | | | | | 9 | A Barrier | K Busnel | 8th behind HIP HOP DE MADKER (2) in the Cherbourg race of reference. Receives an Anthony Barrier drive for the occasion but is still out of his depth |
1st (4) Harcouel | | | | | 7 | F Nivard | F Nivard | Encouraged at Vivaux before trotting 6th of 12 in a 2650m Avignon Class F and cannot be considered a priority |
4th (10) Histoiremika | | | | | 7 | F Lecanu | S Leblond | Got back in the game on 26 April when 3rd of 13 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E and, if still on the boil, will have her chances |
2nd (2) Hip Hop De Madker | | | | | 7 | E Raffin | C H Mallet | 5th of 16 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F 10 days ago. Won here last autumn, and with the champion driver reining, can win this |
(3) Frenchy Berry | | | | | 9 | D M Olivier | D M Olivier | Returns to the professional ranks after coming 6th of 13 in a 2825m Cordemais Class F 2 weeks ago, but chances will be more limited this time around |
(5) Hanugan | | | | | 7 | J Travers | S T Provoost | Complicated character that faulted in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F late last month, but is a hardy element when focused and must not be underestimated |
(6) Frichti | | | | | 9 | J Vanmeerbeck | J Vanmeerbeck | 11th of 13 in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche late last month and chances slim at best |
(7) Grantchester | | | | | 8 | P Vercruysse | J X Maillard | 10th of 12 in a 2000m Lyon-Parilly Class D last Friday and, even racing barefoot, backs up with modest ambition |
(8) Hetre Changeen | | | | | 7 | M Herrault | J L Bigeon | Faulted in a 2850m Laval Class E late-March. Has other priorities and can be passed over |
(9) Hommage De Larre | | | | | 7 | D Dulong | S Roger | 7th of 13 in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 9 days ago and will not be in a position to better that |
(11) Gorlando Ludois | | | | | 8 | C Gourgand | S Bourlier | Honest sort that came 6th of 15 in a 2850m Laval Class F on 19 April. Unlikely top play a leading part but can still make first 5 |
(12) Graffiti Bond | | | | | 8 | N Bazire | Th Bodin | Encouraging 3rd of 13 in a 2050m Agen-Le Passage Class F mid-April. Races barefoot again and looks a possible spoiler |
(13) Faro Du Bonant | | | | | 9 | A Wiels | K Busnel | Below-par 10th behind HIP HOP DE MADKER (2) in 28 April race of reference. Antoine Wiles takes over the reins and some improvement is to be expected |
(14) Hiatus | | | | | 7 | B Bourgoin | B Bourgoin | Last of 14 in a 2550m Reims Class D 3 weeks ago. Will have had this as his objective and looks a serious proposition |
This is not the easiest of races to decipher, however the nod must nonetheless go to HIP HOP DE MADKER (2) who seldom disappoints with Eric Raffin reining. HANUGAN (5) is a tough individual when focused and his form is not in question. HISTOIREMIKA (10) was both reassuring and unlucky at Vincennes last time out and will not be available at 34/1 this time around. HIATUS (14) was given an easy prep at Reims last month and, on good behaviour, will be considerably more competitive here.
Race 85: 14:35 Chester tote.co.uk Saddle-Up For More Than Racing Handicap (0-88) (3) 3yo GB 5f 15y - All Chester Races
1st (12) Knicks | | | | | | 3 | Joanna Mason | Michael & David Easterby | Record of 2312 on ground softer than good, most recently second at Catterick (6f) on stable/seasonal debut; place possibilities off same mark, especially granted another slow surface. |
2nd (7) Vince L'Amour | | | | | | 3 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | Made all at Ripon (6f, heavy; won easily) and Catterick (5f, soft; comfortably defied a penalty) the last twice, taking record since handicapping to 2-3; improving sharply and may well cope with new mark; respected. |
4th (1) Blue Storm | | | | | | 3 | Rowan Scott | Gemma Tutty | Absent since winning nicely at Southwell (5f, AW; off 7lb lower) five months ago on second start for new yard; may improve further, provided he gets the breaks (held up in rear the last twice). |
3rd (6) Due For Luck | | | | | | 3 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | Went very close off this mark over C&D (good to soft) last September when bidding to go 3-3; regressed in two subsequent runs but looks interesting back here, from a good draw, on reappearance. |
(2) Ziggy's Missile | | | | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | Robert Cowell | Has form figures of 1121, all over 5f on AW, since handicapping; made all for comfortable win at Southwell most recently; progressive colt but has the worst of the draw returned to turf. |
(3) Indicate | | | | | | 3 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | Handicap debutant who seems worth his opening mark judged on Southwell success (5f, AW) two starts ago but is unfavourably drawn; has been taking a good hold and now wears first-time hood. |
(4) Midnight Lir | | | | | | 3 | Connor Beasley | Michael Dods | Scored twice during a largely consistent 2yo campaign; seemed to need his Thirsk reappearance run; however, looks more exposed than many of these rivals and has a difficult draw. |
(5) Moonstone Boy | | | | | | 3 | Andrew Mullen | Iain Jardine | Form dipped a tad last week but is normally very consistent (on AW/turf) and could well rebound; close second at Thirsk (5f, soft) the time before; nicely drawn and has possibilities in first-time headgear. |
(8) Rainyniteingeorgia | | | | | | 3 | Jamie Spencer | Alice Haynes | Raced three times last year for now-retired William Jarvis, making all under Jamie Spencer at Lingfield (5f, AW) the final time; open to progress in handicaps for new yard this term; one to consider. |
(9) Dandy Devil | | | | | | 3 | Billy Garritty | Richard Fahey | Newcastle debut success (5f, AW) came at the expense of Kings Merchant; dropped away in closing stages at Pontefract (6f, heavy) since but may fare better returned to the minimum trip. |
(11) Kings Merchant | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Edward Bethell | Runner-up three times prior to going one better in Wolverhampton maiden (5f, AW) in March, comfortably beating a dual subsequent scorer; open to further improvement and holds strong claims from the plum draw on handicap debut. |
There are clear positives for KINGS MERCHANT (nap) who has solid form claims, looks nicely weighted, has the plum draw and should improve further. Due For Luck, who looks interesting back at Chester, is second choice ahead of the similarly well-drawn contenders Moonstone Boy and Blue Storm. Improving Vince L'Amour and unexposed Rainyniteingeorgia are drawn wider but otherwise look appealing.[Steve Boow]
Race 86: 14:40 Kelso Racing TV Handicap Chase (0-120) (4) 5yo+ GB 2m 7f 96y - All Kelso Races
3rd (2) Empire De Maulde | | | | | | 10 | William Maggs | James Ewart | Handles good ground, has gone well fresh and has slipped in the weights; out of sorts when last seen but interesting down in grade with rider removing 7lb; usual tongue-tie/cheekpieces left off. |
1st (4) No Regrets | | | | | | 10 | Sean Quinlan | Nicky Richards | Won twice over fences last year (on good and soft) but below best when last seen in February; has run well over C&D and claims if first-time visor (replaces cheekpieces) perks him up. |
2nd (6) Everyday Champagne | | | | | | 8 | Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | Hurdle and dual chase winner who may not have been suited by soft ground on last two starts; conditions here should be more to liking and he's back on same mark as for last win. |
4th (5) Raceview Road | | | | | | 6 | Jonathon Bewley | George Bewley | 3-5 in points and improved to win on chase/handicap debut here last time (fourth won next time); should appreciate this trip and, although quicker ground to contend with, won both point starts on good to yielding; interesting from 5lb higher. |
(1) Captain Quint | | | | | | 8 | Craig Nichol | Rose Dobbin | Ground and trip fine but let down by jumping on first venture south at Newbury last time; cheekpieces worn last twice left off; not without a chance. |
(3) Hidden Commander | | | | | | 9 | Sam Coltherd | Stuart Coltherd | Good record over fences at this venue but well beaten on last two starts, including over hurdles last time; claims back over fences, although all rules wins have been within 32 days of a previous run. |
(7) Castletown | | | | | | 12 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Veteran with an ordinary strike-rate but does like these conditions; should be better for a recent spin over hurdles but surprise if there's not one or two too good back over fences. |
(8) Domandlouis | | | | | | 7 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Good-ground hurdle winner at this meeting two years ago and, although 0-9 over fences, it's easy to overlook last two below-par efforts on heavy; no surprise should he do much better this time. |
Although facing quicker conditions than on his chase/handicap debut at this track last time, the unexposed RACEVIEW ROAD (nap) won twice on good to yielding in Irish points and he'll likely be suited by the step up to this trip. Domandlouis wasn't at his best on heavy ground on his last two starts but should be able to raise his game back on a sound surface and he could be the main danger. [Richard Young]
Race 87: 14:45 Happy Valley Graham Hcp (C3) HK 1650 metres - All Happy Valley (HK) Races
2nd (7) Star Contact | | | | | 5 | Karis Teetan | D A Hayes | Looked good last start when 0.8L behind Holy Lake at Sha Tin. Races well at this trip. Will be in the finish. |
1st (5) Lovero | | | | | 4 | Y L Chung | A S Cruz | Led for a long way last start when beaten 2.80L behind Ivy League at Happy Valley. 2.80L from the winner in Class 3 level race at this track last start. Ran over this distance last time out when 2.80L from the winner. Each way. |
3rd (2) Red Hare King | | | | | 4 | Matthew Chadwick | A S Cruz | Not far away last start when 2.00L behind Zoom Boom at Happy Valley. Beaten 2.00L at this track last time out. Ran at this distance last start when 2.00L from the winner. Can be in this for a long way. |
(1) Hameron | | | | | 6 | Hugh Bowman | K W Lui | Looked good last start when 1.30L behind Ivy League at Happy Valley. Beaten 1.30L at this track last start. 1.30L from the winner at this trip last start. Ran really well last start and is a leading contender here. |
(3) Zoom Boom | | | | | 6 | Andrea Atzeni | D Whyte | Class 3 winner last start when sat on speed and proved too strong at Happy Valley. Impressive winner around here last time winning by 2l. Hit the line hard last start and top chance again. |
(4) Giddy Up | | | | | 4 | Brenton Avdulla | J W Richards | Looked good last start when 3L behind Zoom Boom at Happy Valley. Beaten 3L at this track last time out. 3L from the winner over this distance last time out. Chance. |
(6) Looking Great | | | | | 7 | Matthew Poon | F C Lor | Ordinary when beaten by 12.3L at Sha Tin last start. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Wary. |
(8) Oriental Tycoon | | | | | 4 | Harry Bentley | P C Ng | Beaten 12.50L at Sha Tin last start. Yet to finish in the placings this prep. Recent form only fair. |
(9) Accolade Start | | | | | 4 | Alexis Badel | C S Shum | Below par last start when 13.3L behind Alp's Affection at Sha Tin. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Poor effort last start and place hopes are absolute best. |
(10) Chain Of Gold | | | | | 4 | Zac Purton | W K Mo | Ran well last start when 0.50L behind Ivy League at Happy Valley. 0.50L from the winner in Class 3 level race at this track last start. Ran over this distance last start when 0.50L from the winner. One for the back end of exotics. |
Race 88: 14:50 Lyon-Parilly Tornibush Maiden Stakes - All Lyon Parilly Races
4th (2) Akbar | | | | | 3 | A Madamet | W Hickst | Finished 4th over 1600m at Chantilly in a maiden on the 23rd of November 2023. Can get involved if not just needing it |
2nd (5) Sisterland | | | | | 3 | M Barzalona | P Cottier | Finished 4th over 1800m at Marseille Borely in a maiden on the 24th of April 2024. Should run well |
1st (7) Noble Breath | | | | | 3 | Rene Piechulek | Frau S Steinberg | Dam remained a maiden after six outings. This filly will be suited by the trip and could make an instant impact on debut. Follow the market |
3rd (3) Gibraltar | | | | | 3 | R Thomas | C&y Lerner | Finished 4th over 2100m on debut at Parislongchamp in a maiden contest on the 7th of April 2024. Include in the play |
(1) Soho House | | | | | 3 | C Demuro | F Chappet | Finished 5th over 1600m in a maiden contest at Saint-Cloud on the 19th of April 2024. Should make big improvement to threaten |
(4) Hasta La Vista | | | | | 3 | C Bouvier | J P Gauvin | Finished 9th over 2000m at Lyon Parilly in a maiden on the 2nd of November 2023. Would be a surprise winner |
(6) Onchao | | | | | 3 | E Puillet-Roda | C Ligerot | Dam won once over the jumps after having several attempts on the flat. This gelding is likely to need the experience. Others preferred |
SOHO HOUSE (1) was well held on debut but showed definite signs of inexperience and should have learnt a lot with that run under the belt. He should go close. SISTERLAND (5) is getting closer to that maiden win and looks to have been placed in the right race to mount a challenge. NOBLE BREATH (7) is a newcomer that warrants respect if the market vibes are strong. GIBRALTAR (3) should run another positive race.

Race 90: 15:05 Chester Weatherbys E-Passport Cheshire Oaks (Listed Race) (Fillies) GB 1m 3f 75y - All Chester Races
3rd (9) Seaward | | | | | | 3 | Hector Crouch | Ralph Beckett | Has Oaks and Ribblesdale entries; 460,000euros yearling; close at Newmarket last August on debut and made all from four newcomers in Ascot novice (1m, good) the following month; looked set for further progress but was firmly put in her place when 28-1 for Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket (1m, soft) in October; still early days for this daughter of Sea The Stars. |
5th (2) Beeley | | | | | | 3 | Kieran Shoemark | John & Thady Gosden | Oaks and Ribblesdale entry; went very close at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last October on sole 2yo outing and similar form when second in novice at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) 12 days ago; withdrawn twice in between, including last month, after getting rid of her jockey; should be suited by 1m4f+ and capable of better, but it's certainly needed. |
6th (6) Lasting Love | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Oaks and Ribblesdale entry; 300,000gns yearling with a good middle-distance pedigree; third in maidens at Doncaster (7f, soft) in September and Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, in the latter beaten less than a length after travelling best to lead over 1f out; bottom of this pack on ratings but likely to leave that figure well behind in due course. |
2nd (7) Port Fairy | | | | | | 3 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Big-race entries include Irish Oaks but not the Oaks; late foal by Australia; 15-2, well beaten at Gowran (1m, heavy) last October on sole start as 2yo, way behind Galileo Dame; vastly better when second favourite in 11-runner maiden at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) over there weeks ago, making most and staying on strongly when challenged late on; looks set for further progress and top yard has had plenty of success in this race. |
1st (4) Forest Fairy | | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | Ralph Beckett | Oaks and Ribblesdale entry; 78,000euros yearling by Waldgeist; dam German 10.5f winner, half-sister to useful 1m6f winner; 100-30, stormed clear to win seven-runner novice at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in February by 6l easing down, slowly away but soon in touch in steadily run race and leading over 1f out; this company demands good deal more but she looks a good prospect. |
4th (5) Galileo Dame | | | | | | 3 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Ribblesdale and Group 1 Pretty Polly (1m2f) entry; 125,000euros May 2yo purchase; flew home from some way back when second on debut at Gowran (1m, heavy) in October; stayed on strongly to go one better from Rubies Are Red in seven-runner maiden at Leopardstown (1m2f, heavy) four weeks ago, so she shapes very much as if this longer trip will suit; big shout. |
(3) Flying Finn | | | | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | Adrian Paul Keatley | Opened her account in great style on handicap debut at Ripon (1m, heavy) and followed up comfortably at Doncaster (1m, soft) eight days later; bids for her third win in just over three weeks, looking sure to stay beyond 1m but she's not sure to get this trip and it's a step up in class. |
This contains some fascinating prospects who are likely to leave their current form well behind at some point pretty soon but GALILEO DAME achieved plenty when winning her 1m2f maiden at Leopardstown and the way she asserted from Rubies Are Red (who's now a non-runner in this) in the final 1f pointed to further improvement over this longer trip. Beeley has looked promising when her pre-race behaviour has allowed her to take part, while Forest Fairy was hugely on top in her AW race and Port Fairy (second choice) is the first string for this race's leading trainer Aidan O'Brien. Lasting Love appeals most among those at probably much bigger odds.[Richard Austen]
Race 91: 15:07 Auteuil Guillaume Javoy Chase - All Auteuil Races
1st (7) Avenue Du Mesnil | | | | | 6 | L Philipperon | M Rolland | Unplaced last time, won before that in a Class 2 hurdle at Fontainebleau on February 20th over 3800m. Warrants respect on chase debut |
2nd (1) Dentor Des Obeaux | | | | | 8 | O Jouin | P Quinton | 6th last time in a Listed hurdle race over 3900m on April 11th at this track. A winner of a Class 2 chase in October 2023 at this venue. Others rate higher |
3rd (2) Rose Secrete | | | | | 5 | J Charron | L Viel | Fair 4th last time at Nantes in a Class 2 chase over 4300m on April 18th. Can make the top three |
4th (5) Air Commodore | | | | | 7 | J Reveley | Mme D Mele | Two unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 3800m in a Class 3 hurdle at Angers on March 23rd. A winner of a Listed hurdle in 2022 at this track. Chase debut and is a key player |
(3) Kolkova | | | | | 6 | A Zuliani | F Nicolle | Won last time in a Class 3 chase at Lyon Parilly over 4100m on April 20th. Also won over hurdles in April 2023 at this track. Consider |
(4) Kapteen | | | | | 9 | C Lefebvre | Robert Collet | Three unplaced runs of late, a decent 3rd before that in a Grade 3 hurdle at this track over 3600m on March 3rd. Can be involved on second try over fences |
(6) Blade | | | | | 5 | T Dumouch | Gab Leenders | 3rd last time at Cluny in a Class 4 chase over 3600m on April 13th. Can not be relied on as he tends to race freely sometimes. Hard to fancy |
AIR COMMODORE (5) has shown useful form over hurdles which include a win in a Listed hurdle at this track in 2022. He ran a solid race last time when fifth at this track in late April in a competitive hurdle race. He can score on his chase debut from ROSE SECRETE (2) who was a good fourth in a Class 2 chase at Nantes last time. KAPTEEN (4) and KOLKOVA (3) can fight for minor honours.
Race 92: 15:10 Kelso William Hill Bookmakers Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (5) 4yo+ GB 2m 4f 189y - All Kelso Races
3rd (8) Pateen | | | | | | 12 | Joe Williamson | Jessica Bedi | Veteran who is competitively treated on return from layoff, having slipped back to last winning mark; however, the step back up in distance doesn't look ideal; all wins at about 2m. |
5th (7) Beat The Boum | | | | | | 5 | Danny McMenamin | Jackie Stephen | Made some late headway, without ever threatening, in 2m2f novice event here last month; not totally solid on form but looks a possible improver back up in trip on handicap debut. |
4th (12) Boot 'N' Shoe | | | | | | 6 | Nathan Moscrop | Rebecca Menzies | From a good family; made the frame in a couple of AW bumpers at Newcastle; has struggled in maiden/novice hurdles at about 2m on soft/heavy ground but may do much better in this different scenario on handicap debut; fitting of tongue-tie and cheekpieces is another possible help; has an attractive opening mark and looks interesting. |
1st (3) Faithfulflyer | | | | | | 7 | Ryan Mania | Sandy Thomson | Well held in a better race over C&D last month; returns to a suitable level, having gained both wins in this grade, and is competitively weighted on best form; not ruled out. |
2nd (5) Call Me Jack | | | | | | 5 | Jamie Hamilton | Mark Walford | Has form figures of 1211, all on heavy ground, since handicapping; justified favouritism at Newcastle (2m4f) the last twice; underfoot conditions aside, he's an improving 5yo who warrants respect. |
(16) Bullion Boss | | | | | | 8 | Sean Quinlan | Nicky Richards | Record is only 1-28; has suffered a couple of heavy defeats since returning from two-year absence; still needs to prove he retains ability. |
(1) Jake Stevens | | | | | | 6 | Henry Brooke | Patrick Neville | Best effort when second at Sedgefield on penultimate outing; returns form a four-month break and looks open to progress now handicapping at an ordinary level; one to consider. |
(2) Ritson | | | | | | 9 | Aaron Anderson | Rebecca Menzies | Far from solid on recent chase form; drops back in class for return to hurdling and is attractively handicapped off current mark but has stamina to prove back up in distance. |
(4) Longstone Cowboy | | | | | | 8 | Ross Chapman | Hugh Burns | Bits of promise in 2022 but has been absent since a dismal effort (on handicap debut) just over a year ago; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
(6) The Blame Game | | | | | | 10 | William Maggs | James Ewart | Big question mark over current form, having been pulled up in both outings last term, and has never won away from Sedgefield; not the percentage call. |
(9) Sword Of Fate | | | | | | 11 | Brian Hughes | Leonard Kerr | Campaigned mostly over fences; well beaten on last attempt over hurdles but is nicely treated if this goes better; chase mark is 10lb higher; won in this sphere in 2017 and 2021. |
(10) Dirk Gently | | | | | | 7 | Jonathan Burke | David Killahena & Graeme McPherson | Ten-race maiden who has some encouraging form (over hurdles/fences) and gives the impression there's an ordinary handicap in him; this southern raider has possibilities on return from layoff. |
(11) Monty Nevett | | | | | | 5 | Conor O'Farrell | Micky Hammond | Best effort for previous yard came over 2m1f; poor form for current stable and has a stamina doubt back up in trip. |
(13) Fiadh | | | | | | 8 | Tom Midgley | Chris Grant | Defied a 2lb higher mark at Wetherby (3m, soft) in March 2023; good chance on that form but was badly out of sorts last season and needs to stage a big revival. |
(14) Bolt Man | | | | | | 6 | Callum Bewley | Ian Duncan | Seven-race maiden who has been absent since looking a non-stayer over 3m at Ayr 14 months ago; aptly drops back in distance on return to action; the betting may offer further guidance. |
(15) Arctic Lodge | | | | | | 8 | Sam Twiston-Davies | D J Jeffreys | Similar type to Dirk Gently, being a southern raider who has bits of encouraging form (point/hurdles); absent since last June; may improve off a reduced mark on only his third handicap attempt. |
Armed with several possible sources of improvement, BOOT 'N' SHOE gets the vote and he will be particularly interesting if the market speaks favourably. Southern raiders Dirk Gently (second choice) and Arctic Lodge are respected, while Faithfulflyer has possibilities back in this grade. Call Me Jack has progressed well in handicaps, albeit on heavy ground.[Steve Boow]
Race 93: 15:15 Happy Valley On Lan Hcp (C4) HK 1650 metres - All Happy Valley (HK) Races
2nd (1) Sixth Generation | | | | | 5 | Vincent Ho | J W Richards | Looked good last start when 3.00L behind Sunny Da Best at Sha Tin. Excels in this distance range. Can play a role. |
1st (10) Atomic Beauty | | | | | 5 | Brenton Avdulla | A S Cruz | Nice run last start when 2.30L behind Glorious Journey at Happy Valley. 2.30L from the winner in Class 4 class race around here last time out. Ran over this distance last time out when 2.30L from the winner. One for the back end of exotics. |
3rd (6) Can't Go Wong | | | | | 5 | Alexis Badel | F C Lor | Nice run last start when 0.50L behind I Can at Happy Valley. Beaten 0.50L at this circuit last time out. 0.50L from the winner over this distance last start. Hard to beat. |
(2) Tradition | | | | | 4 | E C W Wong | P C Ng | Plain effort behind Flamingo Trillion when a well beaten 8.80L 11th at Happy Valley last time out. 8.80L from the winner in Class 3 level race at this circuit last time out. Each way. |
(3) Comet Splendido | | | | | 6 | Y L Chung | C S Shum | Close up last start when 1.80L behind Turin Warrior at Happy Valley. Beaten 1.80L at this circuit last start. 1.80L from the winner at this trip last time out. Yet to finish in the placings this prep. One of the major players. |
(4) Beer Palace | | | | | 5 | Luke Ferraris | Mark Newnham | Close up last start when 3.00L behind Celtic Times at Sha Tin. Check betting. |
(5) Sure Joyful | | | | | 5 | Matthew Poon | P F Yiu | Close up last start when 0.50L behind Glorious Journey at Happy Valley. 0.50L from the winner in Class 4 class race at this track last start. Ran over this distance last time out when 0.50L from the winner. Will be in the finish. |
(7) Link | | | | | 3 | Karis Teetan | D Whyte | Mediocre effort when beaten by close to 7L at Sha Tin last time. Has really struggled this preparation. Roughie. |
(8) Super Wise Dragon | | | | | 5 | Keagan D De Melo | W Y So | Ordinary effort at Class 4 level when beaten 6.5L at Sha Tin. Not fancied. |
(9) The Khan | | | | | 4 | Andrea Atzeni | C Fownes | Ran well last start when 2.8L behind Super Goldi at Sha Tin. Yet to finish in the placings this prep. Can improve. |
(11) Invincible Missile | | | | | 8 | B Thompson | C Fownes | Sent around a $29 chance when 5.5L from the winner last start at Sha Tin. Loves this circuit. Really struggling this prep, unable to finish in the placings so far. Expect to run well. |
(12) Sunny Baby | | | | | 6 | Keith Yeung | D A Hayes | Below par when beaten by 12.8L at Sha Tin last time. Can lift. |
Race 94: 15:25 Lyon-Parilly Berges Du Rhone Claiming Handicap - All Lyon Parilly Races
3rd (5) Venes | | | | | 4 | C Demuro | M Pitart | Won over 1500m at Marseille Vivaux last time out and has to be taken seriously. Good chance |
4th (8) Red Torch | | | | | 9 | F Foresi | F Foresi | Attractive last run when 2nd over 1200m in Handicap class at Marseille Borely on the 24th of last month. Big chance and a must for all bets |
1st (4) Zeyzoun | | | | | 10 | M Eon | A Fouassier | Won cozily at Nantes over 1600m in a Handicap on the 18th of April and is confidently selected to follow up |
2nd (9) Heytesbury Lane | | | | | 5 | T Piccone | Y Bonnefoy | She is running well, finished 3rd at Lyon Parilly over 1600m in a Handicap late last month. Should be right there at the finish |
(1) Larno | | | | | 10 | C Pacaut | B Goudot | Current form has been on the decline and will need to build on recent 15th at Parislongchamp. Unlikely |
(2) Three Dreams | | | | | 4 | M Velon | R Chotard | Boasts a recent win over 1600m at Lyon Parilly and it would come as no shock if she were to follow up. Strong each way chance |
(3) Gideon Grey | | | | | 6 | C Berge | G Geisler | Ignore latest 9th, finished 3rd over 1800m at Lyon La Soie before that. Can place |
(6) Indyco | | | | | 9 | T Bachelot | F Foresi | Cannot be fancied win current declining form and would be a shock winner. Pass by |
(7) Magic Tunis | | | | | 4 | H Boutin | J P Gauvin | Taking time to win the maiden, has been non-effective in some weak fields and needs to do plenty more for the win. Pass by |
(10) Charm King | | | | | 7 | A Lemaitre | L Larrigade | Will need to build on latest 6th finish at Bouscat over 1900m. Prefer others for the victory but has a small place chance |
(11) Ultimate Fight | | | | | 10 | P Cheyer | Zdenek Koplik | Was a winner four runs back at Lyon Parilly over 1350m but has been really poor thereafter. Unlikely and can be ignored |
(12) Secret Feeling | | | | | 5 | M Forest | M Pimbonnet | Finished only 12th over 1600m at Lyon Parilly on the 27th of last month in a Handicap and will need to do much more than that to threaten |
ZEYZOUN (4) has consistent overall form and comes into this race fresh off a victory at Nantes. He is confidently selected to follow up. RED TORCH (8) ran a cracking race at Marseille Borely in April over 1200m and it would come as no surprise, if her were to go one better today. THREE DREAMS (2) caught the eye when winning over 1600m last time and is definitely in with strong each way claims and therefore a must for all bets. VENES (5) won well last time and is a quartet must.

Race 96: 15:40 Chester Boodles Chester Vase Stakes (Group 3) (Colts & Geldings) GB 1m 4f 63y - All Chester Races
4th (3) Golden West | | | | | | 3 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | Derby entry; 2-2 as 2yo in a Newcastle novice (1m, AW) and an Epsom conditions race (8.5f, good); last of seven when reappearing on very soft ground for Group 3 at Longchamp (10.5f) last month failed to advance his cause and, although these are still early days, he now wears cheekpieces. |
6th (6) Pappano | | | | | | 3 | Kieran Shoemark | John & Thady Gosden | Derby and King Edward VII entry; Nathaniel colt who showed up very well in a maiden at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in December and gradually got to the front to score by 1l going away when evens in a novice at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; this race demands a lot more but he's a strong-galloping type with improvement in him as well as plenty of stamina. |
5th (2) Cadogan Place | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | King Edward VII entry; brother to winners Quadrilateral (1m Group 1; RPR 115) and Quilted (1m4f; 76) and half-brother to three, notably Boardman (7f-1m; 108) and Thesis (1m; 102); 11-8 favourite and tongue tied, won six-runner novice at Southwell (1m3f, AW) six weeks ago, leading 2f out and keeping on well to hold on by short head from fellow newcomer Hidden Law, who has since put up a big performance; that was a most promising debut. |
2nd (1) Agenda | | | | | | 3 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | A P O'Brien | Has Group 2 entries, plus Irish Derby but not the Derby; by Galileo out of a Cheveley Park second; close third behind two stablemates in a 7f Curragh maiden (soft to heavy) last October; 11-10, looked better the further he went in maiden at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) six weeks ago, winning by nearly 5l; that was useful form and this late foal still has his best days ahead of him. |
1st (5) Hidden Law | | | | | | 3 | William Buick | Charlie Appleby | Well-related Derby and King Edward VII entry; green but found his stride late on to be beaten a short head by Cadogan Place when they made their debuts in novice at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in March; breezed up from mid-division and strode out in fine style when winning a maiden at Newbury (1m3f, good to soft) 18 days ago, at 4-5 but nevertheless highly impressive; looks well worth his place in a Classic trial. |
3rd (4) Grosvenor Square | | | | | | 3 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Big-race entries include Derby and Irish Derby; half-brother to Irish Derby winner Santiago; had five or six-runner races for his three starts as 2yo, winning an 8.6f maiden at Galway and easily making all in 1m1f Group 3 at Leopardstown, with a creditable third in Group 2 Beresford in between; looks a smart middle-distance prospect, at the least. |
All but one of them are last-time-out winners who look all set to make improvement. GROSVENOR SQUARE brings the best form, as his second 2yo win came in a Group 3. He looked a fine middle-distance prospect, so gets the vote even though Hidden Law, a much more recent arrival on the scene, left a deep impression with the ease of his 1m3f win at Newbury. Aidan O'Brien's second string Agenda is third on the list, ahead of Cadogan Place who has had just the one run, on the Southwell AW, but that was a short-head win from Hidden Law.[Richard Austen]
Race 97: 15:42 Auteuil Pouilly Juvenile Hurdle - All Auteuil Races
4th (5) Kashs | | | | | 3 | L Zuliani | D Satalia | 5th last time in a Class 3 hurdle at Compiegne on April 23rd over 3200m. Has work to do to feature |
3rd (7) Fou De Toi | | | | | 3 | C Lefebvre | Sourdeau Beauregard | Newcomer by Motivator, will be well prepared by connections and is one to watch in the betting exchanges |
1st (2) Apollon Du Luy | | | | | 3 | J Charron | Joel Boisnard | 2nd on both runs so far, the latter over 3300m in a Class 2 hurdle on April 22nd. Ought to be thereabouts |
2nd (1) Sauvignon | | | | | 3 | B Gelhay | M Pitart | Won on hurdle race debut at Lyon Parilly over 3400m on April 20th. Can improve from that and play a lead role |
(3) Bardenas | | | | | 3 | F Giles | D Cottin | Fair 3rd on the sole run so far at this track over 3000m on April 16th. Can step forward from that and be involved |
(4) Dschingis Gold | | | | | 3 | D Mescam | L Pontoir | Unplaced on both of his runs so far over hurdles, the latter at Compiegne in a Class 3 race on April 23rd. Placed on the flat, but best to look for an alternative |
(6) Dimitri | | | | | 3 | L Philipperon | M Rolland | Unraced gelding by Sholokhov, from a respected trainer who knows the time of day. Monitor the betting for clues |
(8) Kind Of Mix | | | | | 3 | J Reveley | N & A Zetterholm | Unplaced on the sole start so far at this track over 3000m on March 31st. Others make more appeal |
(9) Eliot Duance | | | | | 3 | W Lajon | J Delaunay | Unplaced on the sole start over 3000m in a hurdle race at this track on March 17th. Best watched for now |
(10) Looking Good | | | | | 3 | T Chevillard | E Allaire | 3rd on the last start on the flat on the PSF on October 17th on his second start. Bred to jump and is one to watch on debut over hurdles |
(11) L'Amiral D'Ainay | | | | | 3 | F Mula | J Jouin | Unplaced on hurdle race debut at this track over 3000m on April 16th, 2nd on the last run on the flat in February. Others make more appeal |
BARDENAS (3) ran a race full of promise when third at this track last month and is taken to score at the second time of asking. SAUVIGNON (1) did everything that was asked of him on debut when winning over 3400m last month and looks like the main danger. DIMITRI (6) has a taking profile and will be well-tuned for a bold show on debut. FOU DE TOI (7) is also making his debut and warrants respect and is from a shrewd trainer.
Race 98: 15:45 Kelso Herring Queen Series Final Mares' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race) GB 2m 51y - All Kelso Races
3rd (1) Brucio | | | | | | 6 | Ben Bromley | S R B Crawford | Progressive mare; won a Catterick maiden in January (1m7f, soft); bettered that by some way when landing a Listed mares' handicap in February (2m2f, soft) which resulted in a 16lb rise; down 4lb after below-par effort at Aintree; may find others better handicapped. |
4th (8) Linda Moon | | | | | | 5 | Jack Quinlan | Neil King | Plumpton bumper winner last April (2m, soft); best run over hurdles when runner-up to a smart mare in a Taunton novice in February (2m, good); tongue-tie tried; interesting on handicap debut. |
2nd (3) Politacus | | | | | | 6 | Liam Harrison | Fergal O'Brien | Has won mares' handicaps at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) and Hereford (2m5f, soft) on her last two starts; up another 6lb (13lb rise in total) but of more concern is whether she will be as effective over this sharp 2m on better ground; cheekpieces now tried. |
1st (2) Lily Du Berlais | | | | | | 8 | J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | Several decent efforts over hurdles, all with give in the ground; off the mark in a mares' maiden at Ayr last time (2m, soft) having been well beaten at 8-15 at Catterick on previous start (1m7f, soft) when returning from a break; going a concern and this looks tougher. |
(4) Mighty Moth | | | | | | 6 | Robert Dunne | Noel Williams | Progressive mare; off the mark in a Hereford mares' maiden in February (2m, soft; made all) before finishing second in a Stratford mares' handicap last time (2m, good to soft; didn't jump well); good run in a Cheltenham bumper on good ground last April; interesting. |
(5) Micks Jet | | | | | | 6 | Joe Williamson | Philip Kirby | Pulled up in a mares' Listed novice at Cheltenham last time (2m4f, good) having won a mares' maiden at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) on her previous start; this ground is fine, but she may not be so effective at 2m. |
(6) Strong Belle | | | | | | 6 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Off the mark in a mares' maiden at Bangor last time (2m, heavy); has run well on good ground; worth considering. |
(7) Shakeyatailfeather | | | | | | 5 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Yet to win a race but sound efforts last two starts, finishing runner-up to a three-time winner at Kempton in March (2m, good to soft) before 7.5l-second to Lily Du Berlais (now 11lb worse off) at Ayr (2m, soft); could go well on h'cap debut. |
(9) Spit Spot | | | | | | 5 | Craig Nichol | Lucinda Russell | Dual AW Flat winner at round 1m6f; has improved since going handicapping over hurdles, best run when 10l-second to an improver in mares' race at Doncaster in March (2m, heavy; winner now rated 14lb higher); may improve again on this better ground. |
(10) Mary | | | | | | 5 | Brian Hughes | Ian Williams | Placed in two bumpers (third to Mick's Jet at Cheltenham in April 2023); decent efforts first two starts over hurdles, but hasn't progressed (hampered when seventh in a 2m4f Cheltenham handicap last time). |
(11) Brendas Asking | | | | | | 6 | Ciaran Gethings | Kim Bailey | Second in an Irish point in October 2022 (3m, good); yet to win over hurdles; creditable fourth to a smart sort in a mares' novice at Taunton in February (2m, good) but a bit to find with runner-up Linda Moon on that run. |
(12) Dameofthecotswolds | | | | | | 4 | James Turner | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Huntingdon bumper winner in November (1m5f, good); some fair efforts over hurdles, notably when back on decent ground and a neck-second in a juvenile filles' handicap at Cheltenham last time (2m; finished well clear of the remainder); up 4lb and 4lb out of the handicap, but might still be the answer. |
In a wide-open mares' handicap the vote goes to DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS who goes well on this ground and is in good form having finished a clear second in a juvenile fillies' handicap at Cheltenham last time. There are numerous others to consider but Shakeyatailfeather and Linda Moon are the pair taken to fill the places.[Colin Russell]

(2) Sports Legend | | | | | 4 | Y L Chung | C S Shum | Gave nothing else a chance last start when a 0.8L all the way winner at Happy Valley. Got the job done at this track last start to win by 0.8l. Going for a hat-trick of wins. Ran really well last start and is a leading contender here. |
(3) I Am The Boss | | | | | 4 | Vincent Ho | K W Lui | Made no impression at Sha Tin last start when got back and failed to run on. Has really struggled this preparation. Won't trouble any of these. |

3rd (9) Till We Die | | | | | 5 | C Pacaut | C Escuder | Only managed 12th place over 1200m at Marseille Borely on the 24th of April and would be a surprise winner |
4th (1) Just In Time Game | | | | | 5 | M Velon | M Brasme | Ignore last run when 12th, won over 1600m at Saint-Cloud before that. Strong each way chance |
2nd (3) Hy Dream | | | | | 6 | H Boutin | R Chotard | In good form currently, placed 3rd over 1200m in Handicap class at Chantilly last month. Others preferred for the win but can earn |
1st (5) Kakarotto | | | | | 5 | C Berge | N P Littmoden | Much better last time when 2nd over 1300m in a weak claiming race. Small place chance if repeating that. Prefer others |
(2) Don Falco | | | | | 5 | G Millet | F Boualem | Finished 7th over 1200m at Marseille Borely last time but did win penultimate start. Should be right there at the finish. Big chance |
(4) Symbole | | | | | 4 | A Lemaitre | F Vermeulen | Attractive effort when 3rd at Toulouse on the 21st of April in a Handicap. Should run well again and has a strong place chance |
(6) Wasachop | | | | | 7 | T Bachelot | C Escuder | Cannot be fancied on current declining form over various distances and can be passed by. Unlikely victor |
(7) Vanille Bleue | | | | | 5 | S Ruis | F Boualem | Running well, finished 3rd at Marseille Borely over 1200m when last at the races. Value choice for the quartet |
(8) Wrong Colour | | | | | 4 | C Demuro | L Pontoir | She has been downfield recently but in way stronger fields than she meets today. Should build on recent 16th at Parislongchamp and can win |
WRONG COLOUR (8) meets a small and weak field where she looks to have an ideal opportunity of bouncing right back to winning ways. Her last few starts, albeit, unplaced have been in some competitive Handicaps. JUST IN TIME GAME (1) can be expected to serve up way better than he did last time. He was victorious at Saint-Cloud in his penultimate run and must be given serious claims. DON FALCO (2) is a natural inclusion for most bets, especially the quartet. SYMBOLE (4) has a strong place chance.
Race 101: 16:10 Chester ESL Export Maiden Stakes (GBB Race) GB 1m 2f 70y - All Chester Races
3rd (6) Liam Swagger | | | | | | 3 | Callum Shepherd | James Owen | Broke out of the stalls on intended second start; hooded when next seen 11 days later, going close in a sustained duel for nine-runner maiden at Windsor (1m2f, good to soft); firmly in the mix. |
4th (3) Eben Zaabeel | | | | | | 3 | Jim Crowley | Charles Hills | Stamina in the pedigree; behind at Newmarket last September; 16-1, travelled best 3f out in novice at Yarmouth (1m2f, again good to firm) last month but had raced freely and weakened into fifth of 11; that was still a much improved show and now he needs another. |
2nd (1) Castle In The Sand | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Six starts, runner-up in the last four; made the running on first three occasions (7f/1m) and always prominent when no match for a 4-9 shot over 1m2f at Windsor latest; has among the best form but vulnerable again. |
1st (5) Gallantly | | | | | | 3 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Has big-race entries; by Frankel, first foal out of 2017 French 1,000 Guineas winner; short-priced favourite for all three starts, making most when runner-up in 1m maidens in the mud at Naas and Leopardstown on last two occasions; that's still among the best form in this field and the step up in trip offers additional hope. |
(2) Chortal | | | | | | 3 | Kieran Shoemark | John & Thady Gosden | King Edward VII entry; fifth foal; Golden Horn half-brother to winners Kings Joy (1m AW 2yo; RPR 91) and Sense Of Humour (7f; 78); dam maiden (66) half-sister to 2,000 Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand, 6f 2yo Group 1 winner Pedro The Great and the dam of Group 1 winners Power and Curvy; from a top yard and needs a close look. |
(4) Far L'Amore | | | | | | 3 | Sean Levey | Brian Meehan | 55,000euros yearling; half-brother to French winners First Ray (1m 2yo) and Dazzle At Dawn (1m2f); 16-1, prominent long way when fourth of ten to impressive Chester Vase contender Hidden Law in maiden at Newbury (1m3f, good to soft) 18 days ago; a contender on that and should improve. |
(7) Prince Iago | | | | | | 3 | Jason Hart | Hugo Palmer | 40-1, slowly away and checked when always behind in six-runner novice at Newmarket (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; best watched for now. |
(8) Sanks To Flicka | | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | David Loughnane | By Cracksman; 17-2, 14l fourth of six in novice at Ayr (1m, heavy) in October was low-level form, never dangerous; gelded since. |
Some wariness is inevitable given that his three starts have seen him turned over at odds of 8-11, 5-4 and 4-6 but GALLANTLY is stepped up in trip today and that may enable the breakthrough. Gosden newcomer Chortal has a Group 2 Royal Ascot entry, so he is feared most, although Far L'Amore, Liam Swagger and Castle In The Sand have similar form to the selection.[Richard Austen]
Race 102: 16:17 Auteuil Djarvis Chase - All Auteuil Races
2nd (2) Kashback Wood | | | | | 4 | T Dumouch | Gab Leenders | 4th last time over 3500m at this track, won before that in a Class 3 chase at Saint-Brieuc on March 10th. Others make more sense |
3rd (4) Kop De Boulogne | | | | | 4 | C Lefebvre | A Boisbrunet | 3rd on both recent runs over fences, the latter over 3500m at this track on April 16th. Can not be ruled out |
4th (1) Kouroukoukou | | | | | 4 | F Giles | E Clayeux | Won last time over 3800m at Moulins in a Class 3 chase on April 7th. Can play a lead role |
1st (3) Kowloon Park | | | | | 4 | F Mula | F Nicolle | 2nd last time on chase debut at this track over 3500m on April 16th, and a win before that in a Class 2 hurdle. Player |
(5) King Eric | | | | | 4 | A Zuliani | F Nicolle | Nice 3rd in a Class 1 chase over 3500m at this track on fencing debut last time on February 24th. Can keep progressing and score |
(6) Kantor Du Seuil | | | | | 4 | K Nabet | M Seror | Unplaced last time, 3rd before that on the flat at Machecoul over 2950m on March 3rd. Chase debut and looks vulnerable |
(7) Keys | | | | | 4 | M Chailloleau | P&c Peltier | 2nd on the last three runs, the latter over 3400m at Le Lion D'Angers on April 1st over fences. Needs a few to falter |
KING ERIC (5) was a pleasing third in a Class 1 chase at this track in February. He has been given some time and can score. KOUROUKOUKOU (1) could be the one that makes the selection work hard for success. He won a Class 3 chase last time and looks progressive. KOWLOON PARK (3) is also one to pay attention to after a nice second at this track in mid-April. KOP DE BOULOGNE (4) heads the remainder.
Race 103: 16:20 Kelso Bedmax Handicap Chase (0-135) (3) 5yo+ GB 2m 1f 14y - All Kelso Races
7th (1) A Wave Of The Sea | | | | | | 8 | Richie McLernon | Ben Haslam | Made the frame for Joseph O'Brien in two good handicaps last August/October and he's on a handy mark on that form; no worthwhile in his four races for this trainer, albeit with the latest at Cheltenham Festival, so this is a big drop in class; takes a major drop in trip as well; market can guide. |
1st (5) Guy | | | | | | 9 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Had become well treated again when scoring at Hereford (2m, good to soft; 7lb higher again today) in January; 33-1 in a much better race when tailed off at Aintree four weeks ago, when soft ground may also have been against him; should be more interesting again today. |
6th (8) Gold Des Bois | | | | | | 10 | Conor O'Farrell | Iain Jardine | Lost his form in the winter but second of five off this mark over C&D in March on latest outing was better and he's well treated judged on form as recent as October; cheekpieces are enlisted. |
3rd (9) Fearless | | | | | | 9 | Brian Hughes | Danny Brooke | He's dropped to a good mark having underperformed in his three runs this winter; off 11 weeks; needs one of his peak efforts, such as his placed form last August/October. |
9th (6) Bollingerandkrug | | | | | | 9 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Has a superb record at Kelso and his four wins here last year included this race; out of form elsewhere on his latest three outings but is now 1lb below his last winning mark and he's back at Kelso, so it's easy to give him a good shout. |
4th (4) Pay The Piper | | | | | | 9 | Sean Quinlan | Ann Hamilton | 3-20 over fences, with latest win in February 2023; out of form last term but he's well down the weights and final start was a big step back in the right direction, so he can't be dismissed. |
2nd (7) Coastguard Station | | | | | | 8 | Henry Brooke | Henry Oliver | Second at Ascot in March, despite jumping left throughout, and won when returned to a left-handed track at Fakenham (also about 2m, good) in April; they were just five-runner races but he had better form two seasons back and may be returning to that sort of level. |
5th (3) Parisencore | | | | | | 8 | Danny McMenamin | Nicky Richards | Second in handicaps (2m, good to soft) this winter in his only two chases, before a fair effort back over hurdles in February on latest outing; needs to improve on his chase form. |
8th (2) Frere d'Armes | | | | | | 7 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | No wins since November 2022 and out of form this winter but he's shown enough on latest two outings to suggest he can be thereabouts. |
(10) Duty Calls | | | | | | 11 | Lewis Stones | Sandy Forster | Two wins and three seconds from his 11 races at Kelso, the latest win delivered in clearcut style under Lewis Stones in March last time out; that was on soft and he has more to prove on good ground but the form gives him a chance despite being 4lb out of the handicap. |
It is easy to make cases for plenty of these but the return to Kelso for course specialist BOLLINGERANDKRUG is hard to ignore, so he is taken to stage a return to form by repeating last year's win in this race. Coastguard Station may prove the chief threat, as he's perked up again on his last two outings, winning the latest, and had better form in the 2022-23 season. Duty Calls is third on the list but has more to prove on good ground.[Richard Austen]
Race 104: 16:35 Lyon-Parilly Lacroix-Laval Handicap - All Lyon Parilly Races
2nd (3) Soliman | | | | | 5 | A Daifi | C Martinon | Will need to build on recent 7th at Bouscat over 1900m last month. Prefer others and can be excluded from all bets |
4th (9) Lights Come On | | | | | 7 | M Barzalona | R Fradet | Caught the eye when 3rd over 1900m at Bouscat in a Handicap on the 22nd of April and should be right there. Good chance |
3rd (7) Barc | | | | | 6 | S Tison | D Smaga | Placed 2nd over 2400m at Chantilly in a competitive Handicap on the 4th of last month and again, should be in the shake up. Good chance |
1st (4) Narcos | | | | | 7 | M Velon | J P Gauvin | Finished 5th over 2200m at Lyon Parilly on the 17th of April and can be expected to get much closer. Strong win chance |
(1) Virtus | | | | | 5 | A Orani | M Cesandri | Races fresh off a victory at Divonne over 3100m on the 21st of April and can follow up. Respect and include in all bets |
(2) Carlo Biraghi | | | | | 9 | P Cheyer | Zdenek Koplik | Looking at his current form, he will need serious improvement to feature and is tough to make a case for. Pass by |
(5) Kalaos | | | | | 6 | C Demuro | F X Weissmeier | Running well, knocking at the door, finished 2nd over 2200m at Lyon Parilly last time and can go one more. Bright winning chance |
(6) Grand Tatakan | | | | | 5 | C Lecoeuvre | E Mikhalides | Finished 4th over 1900m at Bouscat on the 22nd of April in Handicap class and can get much closer. Big runner |
(8) La Haute Isle | | | | | 6 | G Congiu | Mme E Cury | Can be expected to progress on latest 5th at Parislongchamp and is worth including in the quartet |
(10) Breath Of Fire | | | | | 9 | M Waldhauser | C Martinon | Finished downfield in 13th last time and needs to do plenty more for the selection panel. Unlikely |
(11) Darlyvi | | | | | 6 | M Forest | S Eveno | Off form, taking time to win again and far prefer others for the victory. Happy to ignore |
NARCOS (4) simply is in terrific form, always making his presence felt when competing and is never far adrift the action. He finished fifth over 2200m last time and can be expected to go close to winning. LIGHTS COME ON (9) is a tad erratic but is more consistent than not. His last run when third was particularly encouraging and he can be given serious each way claims. BARC (7) finished second, earlier last month and based on that, can go one more. GRAND TATAKAN (6) is one of the leading contend
Race 105: 16:45 Chester CNG Switch Handicap (0-88) (3) 4yo+ GB 7f 1y - All Chester Races
2nd (13) He's A Gentleman | | | | | | 5 | Brandon Wilkie | Hugo Palmer | No show in this race last year on his only run at Chester; consistent last July-December and went close at Wolverhampton this February; he's 0-15 on turf following his heavy defeat in the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March latest but there have been seven turf seconds. |
3rd (14) Evocative Spark | | | | | | 5 | Franny Norton | Darryll Holland | His last two wins were over C&D, latest last September off the same mark as today when drawn wide and coming from the back; not disgraced on AW this winter and although his return to turf at Doncaster in March was a lesser effort, soft ground may have been against him; case can be made. |
1st (2) Divine Libra | | | | | | 4 | William Buick | Charles Hills | Did better last season when dropped to 6f, first with a soft-ground win here; gelded and off 216 days before last month's run at Newbury (favourite) where a never-dangerous ninth of 16 but beaten only 2l and not getting the luck from off the pace; back up to 7f but wide draw requires some luck. |
4th (5) Metabolt | | | | | | 5 | Rossa Ryan | David Loughnane | Ran creditably sole start here (2022); began 2023 very well and also ran creditably on penultimate start, so he's one for each-way calculations. |
(1) Way To Dubai | | | | | | 5 | Kieran Shoemark | Charlie Fellowes | Three wins at 1m1f/1m during his time in Germany; all five starts for new yard have been on AW, best when second at Lingfield (6f) in December; two modest shows since and gelded since latest; off since January; others look more solid but he does have a low draw. |
(3) Princess Shabnam | | | | | | 5 | Tom Marquand | S Woods | Has run five times here and came second in the first four of them, with stiff task on fifth occasion; AW reappearance last month was no disgrace but she looked stretched by 7f (first attempt beyond 6f) and her losing run may therefore continue. |
(4) Hieronymus | | | | | | 8 | Callum Shepherd | George Baker | All four wins have been on Polytrack at Kempton, including two (7f/1m) early in 2024; turf record stands at 0-19 with heavy defeats in his two turf races this season, which does not bode well. |
(6) Sandy Paradise | | | | | | 5 | Finley Marsh | Richard Hughes | Consistent sort under varied tactics on AW, with a 7f win at Chelmsford 13 days ago, but his only turf run in the last 20 months saw him well beaten at Newbury (1m, good) last May; none of his turf form is anywhere near this mark. |
(7) On A Session | | | | | | 8 | Callum Rodriguez | David & Nicola Barron | Second in one of his three 7.6f races here; an infrequent winner (April 2023 was his last win) but he showed enough when third at Musselburgh on latest outing to be given an each-way chance from stall 1 today. |
(8) Legal Reform | | | | | | 7 | Kieran O'Neill | Alice Haynes | Can front-run; four 7f places from his five appearances at this track; hat-trick for Ivan Furtado last spring and he's also been in good form since joining Alice Haynes, including a 7f win on Lingfield AW last time; this is a career-high mark but he'll probably figure prominently again. |
(9) Dirtyoldtown | | | | | | 5 | Rhys Clutterbuck | Dylan Cunha | Not discredited on sole start here; inconsistent sort who ended 2023 with a comfortable win from off the pace at Newmarket (7f, heavy; third run for new yard) and started this term with a heavy defeat; wide draw may demand another come-from-behind effort, which risks traffic problems. |
(10) G'Daay | | | | | | 6 | Sean Levey | Joseph Parr | Can front-run; below-form third on sole start here (last August) but perhaps 7.6f on soft ground stretched him; took time to find his form last season but made a brighter comeback this time around and looks one to consider. |
(11) Oso Rapido | | | | | | 7 | Hollie Doyle | Roger Fell & Sean Murray | Often front-runs; folded from low draws in both visits here, both last year and including this race; won twice last term and is now 3lb below his last winning mark, but that's after heavy defeats on both runs this year. |
(12) Remarkable Force | | | | | | 4 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | His two wins were his first two career starts; 0-15 since but twice went close for Brian Toomey this winter and heavy ground might be an excuse for his first run for this yard; some headgear returns and he has a competitive mark if back on song. |
This looks tricky but LEGAL REFORM looks a likely contender and may register his first win at this track. Divine Libra has a wide draw but shaped well at Newbury on his reappearance, when sent off favourite. Bottomweight Evocative Spark is a dual C&D winner who could have a say despite his wide draw, while G'Daay and On A Session complete the shortlist.[Richard Austen]
Race 106: 16:52 Auteuil Miror Listed Hurdle - All Auteuil Races
4th (8) Blueness | | | | | 4 | L Zuliani | Mlle A S Pacault | Unplaced last time, won a Class 2 hurdle before that at Compiegne over 3800m on April 3rd. Ought to be in the shake-up |
1st (2) Kopeck De Mee | | | | | 4 | A Pageot | Joel Boisnard | Won the latest two runs, the latter a Class 2 hurdle at Nantes over 3500m on April 6th. More needed but is one to keep safe |
3rd (1) Zephyr De Beaumont | | | | | 4 | T Beaurain | A Couetil | Good 3rd over 3600m in a Listed hurdle at this track on March 31st when last racing. Player |
2nd (3) Karam Le Rouge | | | | | 4 | N Gauffenic | Mlle A S Pacault | Won the last two runs, the latter a Class 2 race over 3600m at this track on April 16th. On the upgrade and can not be ruled out |
(4) Mon Champion | | | | | 4 | C Lefebvre | Mme I Gallorini | 3rd last time in a Class 2 hurdle at Auteuil over 3600m on April 16th. Has work to do in a competitive race |
(5) Raffles Nobu | | | | | 4 | Bryony Frost | M Rolland | Unplaced last time, 3rd before that in a Class 1 hurdle race at this track on November 3rd. Outside place contender |
(6) Boom Boom Ciao | | | | | 4 | K Nabet | M Seror | Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 4400m in a Grade 3 chase at this track on March 31st. Back over hurdles and others preferred |
(7) Sanntama D'Oroux | | | | | 4 | M Chailloleau | P Auchere | 2nd last time at Compiegne in a Class 4 hurdle on April 8th over 3600m. Others rate higher |
ZEPHYR DE BEAUMONT (1) ran a good third in a Listed hurdle last time at this track in late March and looks like the best option. KARAM LE ROUGE (3) has won his last two races, both at this track, and can once again have a say in proceedings. KOPECK DE MEE (2) is also in top shape and is seeking a hat-trick of wins. This will be more of a test but he is progressive. BLUENESS (8) heads the remainder.
Race 107: 16:55 Kelso Racing Post Go North Jodami Series Final Open National Hunt Flat Race (Series Final) (GBB Race) GB 2m 51y - All Kelso Races
2nd (9) Highland Fashion | | | | | | 5 | Conor O'Farrell | Ian Duncan | Well-held fifth in his two bumpers ten months apart, more recently at Carlisle (14-1) in February; has plenty to find on the figures here and is best watched. |
3rd (4) Battle Born Lad | | | | | | 5 | Jamie Hamilton | Mark Walford | Two placed efforts on heavy ground at Newcastle this spring, and the latest can be marked up because he almost ran out with a circuit to go but then worked his way back into contention before finishing a clear second; both pieces of form put him firmly in the picture here and he's an interesting contender. |
4th (2) Kingston James | | | | | | 5 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Bought for £30,000 after winning a 2m4f British point (good to soft) in November; heavily backed into 4-1 on rules debut at Ayr (2m, good) in March and he made all to score with plenty in hand; this is tougher under a penalty but he looks a promising type and is strongly respected. |
1st (1) Dedicated Hero | | | | | | 5 | Ryan Mania | Sandy Thomson | Third in two Irish points last spring before changing hands for £40,000; kicked off his rules career with a promising third at Carlisle (2m1f, heavy) in October and he built on that when beating 11 rivals over C&D (soft) in February; just about sets the standard under a penalty here and he's a big player back from another break. |
(3) Off To Alabama | | | | | | 6 | Sean Quinlan | John Mackie | Shock winner from off the pace at Wetherby (soft; 66-1) on his debut in February but he struggled under a penalty at Doncaster 18 days later; that may have come too soon but he comes with risks attached after that heavy defeat. |
(5) Diamond Mix | | | | | | 5 | Craig Nichol | Paul Robson | 21,000euros yearling; weak 15-2 shot on his Carlisle debut (2m1f, heavy) in October and he got outpaced before finishing a well-held sixth of ten; has a lot to find on that form and he could be a longer-term prospect. |
(6) Disco Davis | | | | | | 5 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Successful in the second of his two attempts in British points last year; shaped with promise on his rules debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January and he backed that up with a close third of 16 at Ludlow last month; needs to find something extra here but he's a well-bred type who should have more to offer for top yard. |
(7) Fairly Fulling | | | | | | 6 | Ben Smith | Jane Walton | Failed to complete in two Irish points last spring; well-held fourth of eight on rules debut at Sedgefield in October and he failed to build on that when tailed off at Carlisle 16 days later; hood now goes on and he's best watched on his return. |
(8) Flaubert | | | | | | 6 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Easily won Irish maiden point (3m, good) last May on second start and changed hands for £48,000 later that month; held in 5l second when favourite on rules debut at Mussleburgh (1m7f, soft) in January but that was a solid effort under a positive ride and he should improve for the experience; not ruled out on his return. |
(10) Theonetowatch | | | | | | 5 | Sam Coltherd | Stuart Coltherd | Eyecatching sixth of 15 on Ayr debut (good to soft) in November but he finished out the back behind Dedicated Hero over C&D in February; has something to prove back from another break and this looks a tough assignment. |
Several have possibilities in this interesting race. Point winner Kingston James is respected after a dominant display on his rules debut at Ayr in March. Battle Born Lad has shown plenty of raw ability in his two runs, while Dan Skelton's Disco Davis also enters the reckoning along with Donald McCain's Flaubert. However, the vote goes to DEDICATED HERO, who overcame trouble when scoring in good style over C&D in February and just about sets the standard under a penalty here.[David Moon]
Race 108: 17:10 Lyon-Parilly Proprietaires Handicap - All Lyon Parilly Races
4th (6) Dschingis Art | | | | | 3 | C Pacaut | J Carayon | Lightly raced, finished 3rd over 1600m at penultimate but does need plenty improvement to feature here |
2nd (5) Inspirado | | | | | 3 | R Thomas | C&y Lerner | Started off well but has disappointed since. Finished 3rd on debut, then 4th and then 8th at Fontainebleau over 1800m. Hard to assess |
3rd (1) Sky Gold | | | | | 3 | T Bachelot | G Bietolini | Holding form, won penultimate, finished 4th over 2000m at Saint-Cloud last time and will be a big runner. Good chance |
1st (3) Zarina | | | | | 3 | M Velon | J P Gauvin | Is clearly talented, in top form, finished 2nd over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on the 17th of April and could be tough to oppose |
(2) Althuraya | | | | | 3 | C Berge | Mme R Philippon | Ignore last run when 11th, won before that over 2000m at Compiegne in a claiming race. Each way chance |
(4) King Zarak | | | | | 3 | M Brunelli | Mme M Scandella-Lacaille | Solid form, placed 5th over 2000m at Lyon Parilly in a competitive Handicap on the 17th of April. Big danger to the first choice |
(7) Mon Flamant | | | | | 3 | C Soumillon | A&g Botti | Can build on latest 6th at Saint-Cloud over 2000m on the 7th of March. Won penultimate and is an outsider with a place chance |
(8) Nikkaluokta | | | | | 3 | H Boutin | J P Gauvin | Improving with racing, finished 4th at Lyon Parilly over 2000m on the 2nd of November last year and has not been seen since. Unlikely |
ZARINA (3) is lightly raced, boasts some top winning form and seems to have a bright future. She could be difficult to oppose. KING ZARAK (4) is showing potential and can be expected to build on his last run when fifth at Lyon Parilly. He has a bright chance. SKY GOLD (1) is one for the shortlist and is showing that he is a nice horse in the making. He should be a factor. ALTHURAYA (2) was a winner of her penultimate start but disappointed last time. Ignore that and expect better.
Race 109: 17:10 Fontwell Star Sports We Believe In Bookmaking Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (5) 4yo+ GB 2m 5f 164y - All Fontwell Races
3rd (5) Reine Fee | | | | | | 11 | Isabelle Ryder | Gary Brown | Very well handicapped on old form but it's very nearly two years since her latest win and she was out of form last season |
4th (1) Celtic Fortune | | | | | | 7 | Jack Hogan | Neil Mulholland | Placed over C&D (good) last May and returned from a break with another two good efforts at end of last year; not in same form lately but didn't run badly at Fakenham last time (kept jumping the paths) and remains on a workable mark. |
2nd (3) The Cox Express | | | | | | 5 | Joe Anderson | Robert Walford | 0-8 over hurdles but placed here (2m3f, heavy) in February and last month's fourth of 15 here (2m1f, good) was very respectable; back up in trip today; considered each-way. |
1st (6) Whynotnowroy | | | | | | 6 | Harry Atkins | Keiran Burke | 0-9 over hurdles but ran well when third at Hereford (2m3f, soft) last month and has now made the frame three consecutive times off today's mark; ought to make his presence felt again. |
(2) Only Fools | | | | | | 5 | Fergus Gillard | David Pipe | Doubled hurdling tally with comfortable win here in March (2m3f, heavy) and performed well on both subsequent outings; might still be on the upgrade and today's return to good ground won't be a problem; respected. |
(4) Dreadpoetssociety | | | | | | 6 | Freddie Gordon | Chris Gordon | Showed only tiny glimmers of promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m1f) during the winter but has a lowly mark for today's handicap debut and may benefit from the step up in trip. |
(7) Royal Regard | | | | | | 6 | Lilly Pinchin | Neil Mulholland | Soundly beaten on all four starts for new yard this year (cheekpieces added last time) and now 0-10 overall; getting back on good ground might help him, but others have considerably less to prove. |
(8) Bellamy's Grey | | | | | | 12 | Philip Armson | Carroll Gray | Outran 66-1 odds when second at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in February and not beaten far when rallying fourth there (2m5f, soft) last month but this quirky veteran often races very lazily and is a risky option. |
(9) Stargazer Belle | | | | | | 6 | Toby Wynne | Ben Case | Beaten about 27l when fourth of nine in Huntingdon handicap (2m4f, good) last month and now 0-6 over hurdles; needs to find improvement from somewhere. |
(10) Come On Paddy Mac | | | | | | 8 | Thomasina Eyston | Neil Mulholland | Lightly raced 8yo; returned from long layoff with two heavy defeats for new stable in January but fared better when keeping-on third (behind Whynotnowroy) on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, soft) in February; could still have a bigger run in him. |
(11) Vintage Icon | | | | | | 5 | Caoilin Quinn | Andy Irvine | Yet to show any worthwhile form after five hurdling starts, the last two in handicaps (2m7f/3m1f); 13lb lower than on latest outing (when he was out of the handicap) but still needs the first-time cheekpieces to help. |
(12) No Guarantee | | | | | | 4 | Tabitha Worsley | Cynthia Woods | Struggled to get competitive in two bumpers and four hurdle races (2m-2m1f) last season; makes handicap debut from a puny mark but still not easily recommended. |
Only Fools made pretty good progress last season and may still have a bit more to offer, while Whynotnowroy has been knocking on the door in recent months and also has a significant role to play. However, the suggestion is COME ON PADDY MAC, who was behind Whynotnowroy when third on his handicap at Taunton in February but lost ground by jumping left in the closing stages there and might be seen to better effect on this anti-clockwise circuit.[Chris Wilson]
Race 110: 17:20 Gowran Park Societies Welcome At Gowran Park Maiden IRE 7f - All Gowran Park Races
3rd (15) Rodeeve | | | | | | 3 | Wesley Joyce | Michael J Browne | Beaten a long way both starts, including here; wait for handicaps. |
4th (6) Royalcorrespondent | | | | | | 3 | Colin Keane | R P Cody | Promise on both turf starts last year, beaten just over 4l at Fairyhouse (6f) and C&D; disappointing on return at Dundalk and moved from Ger Lyons since; Keane keeps the faith but questions, especially on this ground. |
1st (1) Cill Mocheallog | | | | | | 3 | W J Lee | P Twomey | Made a solid debut over this trip at Dundalk in March and should have improved from that; should run well again if handling this much different terrain. |
2nd (11) Ebanza | | | | | | 3 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Posted identical RPR marks in two maidens over 6f, at Naas last October and the Curragh last month; can be keen so the addition of a hood should help; go well if lasting the trip. |
(2) Eastern Capital | | | | | | 3 | Jack Kearney | G M Lyons | Well beaten in heavy ground at Cork on recent debut; stable jockey deserts for Royal Correspondent. |
(3) Jacks Inn | | | | | | 3 | Adam Caffrey | John M Harney | Won a Dundalk Barrier Trial last year and a solid run at that track on debut but well below that level at Navan next time; gelded since; might want faster ground. |
(4) Liamo | | | | | | 3 | Paddy Harnett | Brendan Maurice Walsh | Best of two runs for Donnacha O'Brien last year was when third in a Dundalk maiden over this trip (cheekpieces); gelded since and tongue-tie added for new yard; chance if handling conditions. |
(5) Robbies Rock | | | | | | 3 | Gary Carroll | Gavin Cromwell | Beaten 20l on debut over C&D and isn't easy to fancy on the back of that. |
(7) Subjugate | | | | | | 3 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | Home-bred ran with promise in a decent Curragh maiden over this trip on heavy ground; tongue-tie is retained and should have improved from that, so can be more closely involved. |
(8) Bizarre Dreams | | | | | | 3 | Shane B Kelly | J P Murtagh | Beaten 13l on both maiden starts in heavy ground at Leopardstown; needs to improve plenty. |
(9) Bridge The Gap | | | | | | 3 | Tom Manley-Pender | Daniel James Murphy | One of two runners for yard; beaten 13l in a Curragh maiden on debut; loads of improvement needed. |
(10) Clove Rock | | | | | | 3 | Oisin McSweeney | Daniel James Murphy | Second runner for yard; half-sister to winners Apprentice (1m1f; RPR 76) and Candella (1m2f AW; 75); dam unplaced 6.5f-1m 2yo in France, half-sister to Racing Post Trophy/St Leger winner Kingston Hill; best watched for future reference. |
(12) Kentucky Gal | | | | | | 3 | J M Sheridan | Anthony Mullins | Was never involved on Curragh debut over this trip but was only beaten 6.5l; can run respectably. |
(13) Mama Zonia | | | | | | 3 | Andrew Slattery | Andrew Slattery | Beaten a long way on Cork debut but a better effort over 1m here last time; needs another big leap forward to score. |
(16) Warazam | | | | | | 3 | Ronan Whelan | Jarlath P Fahey | First foal; dam unraced half-sister to French Listed-placed 1m winner Gaazaal, out of 1m winning half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Pollyanna; by a useful sire but likely to improve for this debut. |
(17) Quite Content | | | | | | 3 | | Daniel William O'Sullivan | First reserve; well beaten in a Cork maiden on debut and enormous improvement required. |
(18) Tyder | | | | | | 3 | | Andrew Slattery | Second reserve; well beaten in two maidens and handicaps will suit better. |
Having shown promise in a stronger maiden than this at the Curragh on debut, SUBJUGATE could have improved enough to score, with conditions similar. Ebanza and Cill Mocheallog seem most likely to run him close. [Tyrone Molloy]
Race 111: 17:25 Kelso Racing Together Open Hunters' Chase GB 2m 7f 96y - All Kelso Races
4th (5) Teds Charley Roe | | | | | | 11 | Miss Lucy Brown | Mrs Jacqui Irvine Lang | Sole win from 16 points was in a match in February and he was well held in that sphere last time; now makes his hunter chase debut as an 11yo and is best watched. |
3rd (3) Shanroe Street | | | | | | 14 | Mr Gregor Walkingshaw | G Walkingshaw | Veteran hunter who won at Perth (3m, good) last May and was a close second at Hexham (3m, heavy) on his comeback last month; should run his race again but this is a tough assignment on adjusted figures. |
2nd (4) Windsor Avenue | | | | | | 12 | Mr Jack Teal | Jack Teal | Smart chaser at his best and he still retains quite a bit of ability; has mixed record this year and was pulled up in Foxhunters' at Aintree last time but he's been in much calmer waters now and was runner-up at Catterick (3m1f, soft) on his penultimate run; dangerous if in the mood. |
1st (2) Go On Chez | | | | | | 8 | Mr Harry Myddelton | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Useful handicap chaser who returned from break to make winning hunter chase debut at Ludlow (3m, good) two weeks ago; did that in good style and he's the standout contender at the weights here; should be hard to beat. |
(1) Dressedforsuccess | | | | | | 11 | Mr Nick Orpwood | James Latham | Fairly useful five-time chase winner in his prime but last success was two years ago and he's been pulled up in hunter chases in both runs for new yard this year. |
(6) The Macon Lugnatic | | | | | | 10 | Miss Isobel Mactaggart | Mrs K B Mactaggart | Pulled up in his last two runs over regulation fences last spring and no joy in two points this year; last win was over hurdles in 2021 and hard to know how much ability remains; opposable. |
This looks a good opportunity for GO ON CHEZ, who had no trouble justifying favouritism on his hunter chase debut at Ludlow two weeks ago. He's the standout contender at the weights here and can strike again to improve his chase record to 8-16. The main danger is Windsor Avenue, who had a tough assignment at Aintree last time and was a creditable second at Catterick on his penultimate run.[David Moon]
Race 112: 17:27 Auteuil Pot D'or Handicap Chase - All Auteuil Races
4th (4) Little King | | | | | 5 | N Ferreira | S Dehez | Much improved of late and is unbeaten in two chases so far, with the latest win in a handicap chase at Compiegne over 3900m on 25 March. Can complete the hat-trick |
1st (2) St Romain Du Derby | | | | | 9 | T Beaurain | F Foucher | Has fluffed his lines in both starts, with the latest finishing well beaten in a handicap at this course over 4700m on 21 April. Down in class and could be a serious threat this distance |
2nd (9) Inzeo Du Gouet | | | | | 6 | K Nabet | M Seror | Disappointing last run when 7th in a handicap hurdle at Compiegne over 3600m on 23 April. Can upset back in a chase |
3rd (1) Benou | | | | | 5 | L Philipperon | M Rolland | His only win so far was in a hurdle race last year but he did run well when third last time out in a Conditions chase over this course and distance on 11 April. Big chance |
(3) Fret D'Estruval | | | | | 9 | Bryony Frost | P Quinton | Reminded us what he is capable of when scoring last time out in a Conditions chase at Compiegne over 3900m on 3 April. Can follow up |
(5) Jaipaletemps | | | | | 5 | N Gauffenic | D Windrif | Fifth last time in a handicap hurdle at Compiegne over 3600m on 23 April. Won two chase claimers before that and is not out of it |
(6) Thequietman | | | | | 6 | F Giles | E Clayeux | Disappointing last two runs and was 9th last time out in a handicap hurdle at Lyon-Parilly over 3800m on 20 April. Capable of better and could contest the finish |
(7) Fontannes | | | | | 9 | C Lefebvre | E Clayeux | His last win was in 2021 and he was 6th last time out in a handicap chase at Toulouse over 4200m on 8 April. Capable of making the frame |
(8) Cambrioleur | | | | | 6 | D Carre | K Plisson | Usually gives of his best and was a runner-up in a chase claimer at this course over 3700m on 11 April. Needs to do more to win but could sneak some minor money |
BENOU (1) put in a good display when third last time out and that form should be enough to win a race like this. THEQUIETMAN (6) has been disappointing of late but is capable of running well when in the mood. ST ROMAIN DU DERBY (2) is down in class and is capable of a decent run in this line-up. FRET D'ESTRUVAL (3) won well last time out and deserves respect for that win.
3rd (9) Major Cam | | | | | 5 | Mychel Sanchez | Elliott Soto | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten by Roman Empire when second of 7 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. |
2nd (3) Whiskey Prize | | | | | 4 | Eliseo Ruiz | J Guerrero | Successful at 7f and 1m. A winner at 9-2 at Philadelphia Park over 7f on his latest outing last month, beating Scamp Walker by 1l. |
1st (1) Uncle Water Flow | | | | | 5 | Paco Lopez | Patrick Reynolds | Successful twice at 1m. Third of 7 behind Disappearance beaten 2 1/2l at 9-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. |
(2) Food Foodie | | | | | 4 | Jean Aguilar | Harold Wyner | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten behind Trash Talkin Larry at 22-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Pedro Nazario. |
(4) Imagine This | | | | | 6 | Ajhari Williams | Frank Pollara | Successful at 6f and 1m. Third of 7 behind Roman Empire beaten at 8-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. |
(5) Long Live Now | | | | | 4 | John Hiraldo | Carlos Mancilla | Successful at 1m and 1m 1f. Finished behind Runnin Joke when fourth of 11 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m in March. |
(6) Tequilamademedoit | | | | | 6 | Andrew Wolfsont | Alan Bedard | Successful at 1m and 1m 1f. Finished behind Roman Empire when fourth of 7 at 28-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. |
(7) Smarten Up | | | | | 5 | Luis Rivera | Alfredo Velazquez | Successful twice at 1m. Finished behind Golden Wildcat when sixth of 12 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 7f last month. |
(8) He's On Fire | | | | | 4 | Julio Correa | Carlos Mancilla | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten behind Liar Side Chat at 9-2 when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m in March. |
(10) Chip's Friend | | | | | 4 | Francisco Martinez | Michael Catalano, Jr | Successful at 6f and 1m. Third of 12 behind Golden Wildcat beaten at 17-4 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 7f last month. |
The drop in grade can see UNCLE WATER FLOW return to winning ways at the main expense of Major Cam and Imagine This.
Race 114: 17:40 Fontwell Download The Star Sports App Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) GB 2m 5f 164y - All Fontwell Races
4th (8) An Cailin Ciuin | | | | | | 6 | Brendan Powell | Henrietta C Knight | Well beaten on stable debut at Newbury in March but the ground was heavy there and, following a wind op, she fared much better when third against her own sex at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) a fortnight ago; probably still has more to offer; considered each-way. |
3rd (1) Artiste d'Ainay | | | | | | 6 | Mr Jack Andrews | T Ellis | Placed on all six hurdling starts for Stuart Crawford, most recently when second to useful rival at Cartmel (2m6f, good) last summer, and was an easy point winner for new stable in January; features prominently in calculations on this return to racing under rules. |
2nd (5) Lumi Plugin | | | | | | 5 | Caoilin Quinn | Gary & Josh Moore | Bettered bumper form when keeping on well for close second to odds-on stablemate on hurdling debut here (2m3f, good) 19 days ago; probably needs to improve again today but has potential and the longer trip ought to suit. |
1st (4) He Knows Better | | | | | | 6 | James Bowen | Warren Greatrex | Third on first two hurdling starts then bounced back from a lesser effort when second (albeit no match for easy winner) on recent handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft); major player back in novice company. |
(2) Carrickfergus | | | | | | 5 | Mr Phillip York | Phil York | Runner-up in slow-ground Irish point in March, but pulled up in a British point for new connections later that month and also struggled when a big-priced outsider for Kempton maiden hurdle (2m5f) 16 days ago. |
(3) Global Focus | | | | | | 7 | Micheal Nolan | Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | Bought for £60,000 after winning Irish point debut in February 2022; made a belated rules debut in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (2m6f, good to soft) yesterday and was 8-1 but soundly beaten. |
(6) Stancheski | | | | | | 6 | James Best | Tony Newcombe | Well beaten at huge odds on first two hurdling starts (2m3f/2m4f) and unseated rider at first flight on latest outing; makes no appeal here. |
(7) Whats Cooking | | | | | | 6 | Tom Bellamy | Syd Hosie | Went close in a fast-ground maiden point in February last year but was pulled up on first three hurdling starts and needs to learn to settle much better. |
(9) Bare Assets | | | | | | 7 | Gavin Sheehan | Kim Bailey | Half-sister to smart hurdler Lovcen; joined Kim Bailey after winning good-ground Irish point on debut in April 2022; pulled up when reappearing in maiden hurdle in January (12-1) but was given a wind op soon afterwards and could still have a good future under rules. |
(10) Drishogue | | | | | | 5 | James Davies | Nick Gifford | Soundly beaten in both her bumpers then unseated rider at the first flight when 150-1 for recent hurdling debut |
(11) Singapore Lady | | | | | | 5 | Lorcan Williams | Jeremy Scott | Showed no promise (albeit on heavy ground) when pulled up on last month's hurdling debut at Exeter; might fare better on this quicker surface but can only be watched at present. |
(12) Westmill | | | | | | 6 | Marc Goldstein | Diana Grissell | Belied 80-1 odds when second to short-odds favourite in Plumpton maiden (2m, good) last month but that form lacks depth and others in this field look much stronger. |
(13) Sullivan Bay | | | | | | 4 | Paul O'Brien | Henrietta C Knight | Won low-grade AW handicap in January (1m5f) but well beaten at triple-digit odds in his three hurdle races, including last two outings; latest was at Ffos Las yesterday. |
This could be a good opportunity for HE KNOWS BETTER, who is back in novice company after running well in defeat on last month's handicap debut. Artiste d'Ainay has won a point for his current stable and is a danger if judged on his hurdling form for Stuart Crawford. Lumi Plugin kept on well to go close over 2m3f here on his recent hurdling debut and is another key player.[Chris Wilson]
Race 115: 17:50 Thistledown Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Thistledown Races
3rd (2) Ian Glass | | | | | 8 | Rocco Bowen | Kim Puhl | Has won nine races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 15l behind Lake Radio at 50-1 when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Unlikely to be good enough. |
4th (1) Going In Style | | | | | 4 | Jose Bracho | Ricardo Bailey | He has won four times from 5f to 1m. Third of 7 behind Inside Stunt beaten 3 1/2l at 11-2 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 6f last month. Could land a blow. |
2nd (5) Shadow Tracer | | | | | 10 | T Houghton | James Jackson | Has won 17 races from 4f to 6f. Finished 4l behind Woodland Walk when fourth of 6 at 12-5 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 5f in October last year. Foolish to overlook. |
1st (4) Flipping Fish | | | | | 6 | Ricardo Feliciano | Benny Feliciano | Has won 12 races from 5f to 1m. Third of 7 behind Spikezone beaten 3 1/2l at 18-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f in March. Consistent enough to play a hand. |
(3) David's Gem | | | | | 7 | Mauro Cedillo | Gary Johnson | Has won 13 races from 5f to 1m 2f. A winner at 6-4 at Mahoning Valley over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Mutual Confidence. Likely to be on the premises. |
(6) Rockstar Ro | | | | | 6 | Fernando Becerra Salazar | Ricardo Bailey | Winner of seven races from 5f to 6f. Third of 6 behind Inside Stunt beaten at 11-5 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f (good) in March. Leading contender. |
ROCKSTAR RO is a really consistent performer and his most recent third in a deeper contest than this looks the best form on offer. Shadow Tracer and Flipping Fish can give him the most to think about.
Race 116: 17:50 Gowran Park New Sponsors Lounge At Gowran Park Maiden IRE 1m - All Gowran Park Races
2nd (14) Clever And Cute | | | | | | 3 | N G McCullagh | J S Bolger | Seventh foal; half-sister to winners Clever And Cool (5f-7.5f inc 2yo/Group 3; RPR 107) and Cool And Clever (7f/7.3f 2yo; 89); dam 7f-1m2f winner (inc AW; 98); 18,000euros yearling is related to some smart types and one to consider, more so if attracting market support. |
4th (13) Vadali | | | | | | 3 | Ronan Whelan | M Halford & T Collins | Beaten 11l on debut (hvy) over this trip last year but that was a much stronger contest than this; bred to do better as a 3yo and if he is ready enough on seasonal debut then should run a big race. |
1st (7) Chicago Fireball | | | | | | 3 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Ran several fine races in defeat last year, including in a Group 3; another fine effort behind a smart sort at Dundalk on return and gelded since; has form on soft ground, so should be involved. |
3rd (9) No Knee Never | | | | | | 3 | Wayne Hassett | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Solid Curragh debut last year behind a smart type but a bit below that level on return at the same course, both 7f; a half-brother to an Irish Derby winner, so the step up in trip should suit; a big player. |
(1) Applejack Poet | | | | | | 7 | Danny Sheehy | Liz Doyle | Hurdle winner was beaten a long way in two Flat starts last year and can't be fancied. |
(2) Calzaghi | | | | | | 4 | Calum Hogan | Kevin Thomas Coleman | Well beaten in two Curragh maidens on heavy ground and likely to do better in handicaps. |
(3) Superbolt | | | | | | 4 | Colin Keane | A J Martin | Has shown some ability on the Flat and over hurdles but will likely find this trip on the sharp side. |
(4) You Are The Deal | | | | | | 4 | Scott McCullagh | Luke Comer | Tailed-off on sole start last year and can't be fancied. |
(5) Barrogstown Girl | | | | | | 4 | Leigh Roche | Jarlath P Fahey | Well beaten in three maidens and handicaps will suit her better. |
(6) Casapulla | | | | | | 3 | Robert Whearty | P Cluskey | Heavily beaten on both starts and can't be fancied. |
(8) Liffeydale Spirit | | | | | | 3 | Luke McAteer | Craig O'Neill | Ninth foal; half-brother to four winners inc Time Shanakill (6f-12.5f inc AW/Listed; RPR 111) and The Gatekeeper (5f-1m inc AW 2yo; 105); dam once-raced; 21,000euros foal was unsold for 7,000gns as a 2yo; nice pedigree and could run respectably. |
(10) Noble Andy | | | | | | 3 | Shane Foley | Mark Fahey | Well beaten in two starts and makes no appeal; wait for handicaps. |
(11) Noble Nation | | | | | | 3 | J M Sheridan | Gerard O'Leary | Tailed-off over 1m2f on Curragh debut and can't be fancied on that showing. |
(12) Storm Tracker | | | | | | 3 | Alan Persse | Liam G O'Brien | Well beaten in two starts, including over 1m here last time; no appeal; wait for handicaps. |
(15) Melkorka | | | | | | 3 | James Ryan | J F O'Shea | Second foal; dam 10-race maiden Flat and jumps (RPR 57), sister to 7f 2yo winner What A Party, half-sister to 1m4f/2m Flat and 2m hurdle winner Son Of Red; by a useful sire but best watched for future reference. |
(16) Pink Oxalis | | | | | | 3 | Gary Carroll | Joseph G Murphy | Second foal; half-sister to 1m winner Pink Sorrel (RPR 89); dam 8.6f AW 2yo winner (79), half-sister to 10.6f winner Onameridance; by a decent sire and cost USD60,000 as a yearling; could go well. |
(17) Golden Goose | | | | | | 4 | Paddy Harnett | Miss Tara Lee Cogan | First reserve; soundly beaten in two maidens and has to improve plenty to score. |
(18) Apache Eagle | | | | | | 3 | | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Second reserve; beaten 18l on debut over 1m2f at Navan and will have to improve plenty to score |
As a half-brother to Irish Derby winner Latrobe, the step up in trip can unlock the necessary improvement for NO KNEE NEVER to win. Chicago Fireball has plenty of solid form and can prove his biggest danger. Vadali can also run well, while Clever And Cute is an interesting debutant who is bred to be effective in the conditions.

8th (11) Don Tochi | | | | | 6 | Roberto Nahuel Alzamendi | Alberto Urdagaray | One to steer clear of. |
9th (12) Catcher John | | | | | 6 | Alexis Jose Paez | Miguel Medina | Hasn't shown a great deal so far. |
12th (4) Bigote Fitz | | | | | 7 | Diego Armando Figueroa | Francisco Bartolome | Needs to raise his game. |
6th (7) Tango Sprout | | | | | 6 | Sergio Antonio Piliero | Pablo Mayola | Others make more appeal. |
3rd (3) Arunguita | | | | | 6 | Luis Diego Brigas | Fabio Cacciabue | Capable of giving the boys something to think about. |
10th (1) Si Juro | | | | | 7 | Santiago Fabian Conti | Jorge Quintana | Can build on debut effort. |
11th (13) Pituco Bazko | | | | | 7 | Francisco Jesus Lavigna | Pablo J Almada | Worth some thought. |
4th (9) Dominatilla | | | | | 6 | Tomas Daniel Baez | Luis Ojeda | Took a step in the right direction last time. |
1st (8) Super Racing | | | | | 6 | Brian Rodrigo Enrique | Miguel Medina | Might be able to squeeze into the frame. |
7th (5) Lindo Lizard | | | | | 6 | | Victor Pereyra | Watch the market for a clue as to what is expected. |
2nd (2) Seducidor Infiel | | | | | 6 | Pablo Damian Carrizo | Julio Zancanaro | His turn looks imminent. |
(6) Gata Gloriosa | | | | | 7 | Hector Ezequiel Dyke | Roberto Cabrera | Probably best to look elsewhere. |
Race 118: 18:00 Kempton Unibet Supporting Safer Gambling Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race) GB 1m 3f 219y - All Kempton Races
7th (5) Lovemeforareason | | | | | | 3 | William Cox | Charles Hills | 38,000gns yearling by Teofilo; 80-1 and unruly in parade ring when tailed off in maiden at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago. |
3rd (2) Solid Silver | | | | | | 6 | Luke Morris | Sir Mark Prescott Bt | 6yo mare who was placed in the last two of her three bumpers, more recently when third in a Listed race on good to soft ground in December; however, beaten 21l when fourth of eight in Flat maiden at Leicester (1m2f, soft; 11-2) 11 days ago under a 7lb claimer, which is no recommendation. |
2nd (6) Nowhere | | | | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Hughie Morrison | Fourth foal; Nathaniel half-sister to 7f 2yo winner Promoter (RPR 90); dam 1m2f/1m6f winner (88), half-sister to 1m6f Listed winner Hereby and useful 1m4f-2m winner Here And Now out of Oaks-winning half-sister to dam of French St Leger winner Scope; late foal; appeals as much as any of the newcomers on pedigree but had wind surgery in October; market may well guide. |
4th (4) Edna E Mode | | | | | | 3 | Trevor Whelan | Harry Charlton | Seventh foal; Gleneagles half-sister to 1m winner Royal Rift (RPR 83); dam 1m-1m3f winner (including Group 2 Italian Oaks; 112), sister to Canadian 8.5f Grade 2 winner Callwood Dancer, closely related to useful 5f-1m1f winner Walklikeanegyptian; the yard's 3yos are a striking 6-9 this season, including one winner on AW on debut. |
6th (7) Path Of Stars | | | | | | 3 | Harry Davies | Simon & Ed Crisford | 25,000euros yearling, 90,000euros May 2yo; sixth foal; Masar half-sister to winners Queen Emma (1m4f including AW; RPR 95), Little Becky (7f AW 2yo; 86) and Illustrator (7f AW 2yo; 80); dam placed at 1m turf/9.4f AW (80), closely related to 1m Listed winner; yard has made a good start to May. |
5th (3) All Too Well | | | | | | 3 | Robert Havlin | John & Thady Gosden | 42,000gns foal, 75,000gns yearling; second foal; Ulysses half-sister to French 1m winner Night Of Lightning; dam 6f 2yo winner (RPR 86), half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Smaih out of German 1m3f-winning half-sister to 1m2f Group 1 winner Silvano; from a top yard and market can guide. |
1st (1) Scenic | | | | | | 4 | Saffie Osborne | Ed Walker | Third in 1m2f Listed event at York last July highlights that she should have broken her duck by now, but she's now 0-9; the seconds on last two starts were both at 8-11, last time when upped to 1m4f and well below her best form; starts a fresh season. |
Scenic has the ability but starting a new season doesn't entirely wipe the slate clean and she proved costly to follow in the end last term. The four newcomers are all of some interest on paper and it's somewhat speculative to judge between them but Harry Charlton's cracking record this season with his 3yos sways the vote for EDNA E MODE. The betting moves should give important clues.[Richard Austen]

2nd (3) Howe Des Obeaux | | | | | 3 | O Jouin | N Devilder | Has run well in both her starts to date and was third last time out in a Conditions hurdle at Nantes over 3500m on 18 April. Can contest the finish once again |
1st (1) Altura | | | | | 3 | K Nabet | M Seror | Ran well when third on debut in a Conditions hurdle over this course and distance on 31 March. Big chance in this line-up with improvement expected |
(2) Koukoulina | | | | | 3 | A Zuliani | F Nicolle | Showed some promise when third on debut in a Conditions hurdle at La Teste-de-Buch over 3400m on 10 April. Should fight out the finish once again |
(4) Sandy Bay | | | | | 3 | T Chevillard | L Pontoir | Well beaten in both starts, with the latest being in a conditions hurdle over this track and distance on 16 April. Others are preferred |
(7) The Source | | | | | 3 | L Zuliani | D Satalia | A three-year-old filly by Goliath du Berlais out of Blazing Mary who is making her debut. Watch the betting |
It should be between the first three selections and all three of them were third on debut. ALTURA (1) showed promise over this course and distance last time out and looks the one they all have to beat. KOUKOULINA (2) was not disgraced over further last time out but should also have no problems with this distance. CALEDONIENNE (6) is not out of it if repeating the debut effort. HOWE DES OBEAUX (3) has run well twice and could also contest the finish.
2nd (5) Wizard Serrat | | | | | 5 | Carol Cedeno | Alfredo Velazquez | Winner of five races from 6f to 1m 1f. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Makabim when sixth of 9 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. |
1st (1) Jonny Quist | | | | | 5 | Andrew Wolfsont | Alan Bedard | He has won three times at 1m. Third of 10 behind Awesome Launch beaten 16l at 20-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. |
(2) Allevare | | | | | 5 | Darwin Rodriguez | William Hogan | Winner of five races from 6f to 1m. Finished 16l behind Awesome Launch when fourth of 10 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. |
(3) Look Out Lambo | | | | | 6 | Silvestre Gonzalez | Robert Mosco | Has won nine races at 1m. Beaten by Icy Storm when second of 11 at 5-2 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. |
(4) Colonel Juan | | | | | 10 | Luis Rivera | J Guerrero | Has won 11 races at 1m. Finished behind Icy Storm when fourth of 11 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. |
(6) Create Again | | | | | 9 | Johariel Rodriguez | Miguel Penaloza | Has won eight races from 7f to 1m 1f. Finished behind Zip It Scotty when sixth of 9 at 17-2 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 7f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Robert Mosco. |
(7) Long Gray Line | | | | | 9 | Francisco Martinez | Alejandro Maymo | Winner of seven races at 1m, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten behind Icy Storm at 55-1 when seventh of 11 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. |
LOOK OUT LAMBO sets the standard based on his second in a similar event here recently, although Colonel Juan and Allevare should not be discounted.
Race 121: 18:10 Fontwell Star Sports Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Chase (0-105) (5) 5yo+ GB 2m 3f 104y - All Fontwell Races
3rd (11) Shaw's Cross | | | | | | 12 | Philip Armson | Andy Irvine | 12yo who went close at Plumpton (2m3f, good to soft) in December but he's taken backward steps in three runs since; has quite a bit to prove again and he's 4lb out the weights. |
1st (10) Mister Upton | | | | | | 5 | Rex Dingle | Chris Gordon | Seven-race maiden who has not finished closer than 19l to a winner including in three hurdle handicaps; on reduced mark but he needs a transformation back in trip on his chase debut; 3lb out of weights. |
4th (3) Moytier | | | | | | 7 | Tom Bellamy | Syd Hosie | Comfortable winner over fences at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in February but well held off this revised mark there next time; ran respectably back over hurdles (third of seven) last month but he needs to find more on this return to chasing. |
2nd (4) My Gift To You | | | | | | 6 | Mr Alex Chadwick | James Owen | Dual hurdle winner who made it 3-4 over fences when forging clear at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in March; the two market leaders failed to complete in that race but a 4lb rise looks fair enough and he's open to more progress in this sphere; key player. |
(1) Sherborne | | | | | | 8 | Brendan Powell | Joe Tizzard | Triple hurdle winner; not been the easiest to predict over fences but he won by 7l at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in December and rallied well to go close over same C&D (soft) last time; only 1lb higher here and he's respected on this drop back in grade. |
(2) Roll With It | | | | | | 8 | James Bowen | Peter & Michael Bowen | Highest RPR came in a bumper; had a 2m4f novice win last July but was in and out last year in his four runs over hurdles, before pulled up on chase debut (3m, good to soft) in November; this drop back in trip is a positive but he comes with risks attached on return for new yard. |
(5) Time To Dazzle | | | | | | 6 | Caoilin Quinn | Gary & Josh Moore | Won a hurdle handicap by 8l here (2m3f, heavy) in February but he flopped when favourite in his follow-up bid at Taunton (pulled up); still lightly raced but he now switches to fences and has something to prove after that last run. |
(6) Iron Mike | | | | | | 8 | Gavin Sheehan | Syd Hosie | Well handicapped on his old chase form but he's 0-13 over jumps and has not been seen since some heavy defeats over fences and hurdles early in 2022; with another new yard now and has lots to prove after 820 days off. |
(7) Family Business | | | | | | 7 | Lilly Pinchin | Richard Hobson | Well treated on his Newbury win (2m, good to firm) last February but he's had two wind operations since and has generally struggled in last seven runs; seems versatile regrading trip and ground but he needs a major revival in new headgear. |
(8) Filanderer | | | | | | 8 | David Bass | Hughie Morrison | Bumper winner who started his chase career with a creditable second at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) in December, but he's not gone on from that in two runs since; now 0-10 over jumps and he needs a more polished display back up in trip. |
(9) Phil The Sock | | | | | | 7 | Tabitha Worsley | Phil York | Has failed to complete in six of his seven runs including two chases, two points and a hurdle handicap at Kempton (pulled up) last month; overall record now stands at 0-11 and can only be watched back in this sphere. |
Top of the list is MY GIFT TO YOU, who made it 3-4 over fences when forging clear at Catterick in March and is open to more progress in this sphere. Most of the others come with risks attached, but Sherborne is only 1lb higher than for his close call at Wincanton last time and could pose a big threat if he can back that up.[David Moon]
Race 122: 18:20 Thistledown Race 2 - Claiming - All Thistledown Races
4th (5) Leombruno | | | | | 12 | Luis Rivera | Valerie Shanyfelt | Has won 17 races from 5f to 1m. Finished behind Say Hey Kid when fifth of 6 at 18-5 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m (good) in August last year. Others look more appealing options. |
2nd (4) Lazarus Project | | | | | 11 | Luis Gonzalez | Valerie Shanyfelt | Has won 11 races from 5f to 7f. Beaten a short head by Boss Bear when second of 10 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 1m (good) in January. Expected to be bang there. |
1st (1) Roger McQueen | | | | | 5 | Ricardo Feliciano | Benny Feliciano | He has won four times from 5f to 7f. Beaten 11l behind Mister Banjoman at 12-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 5f last month. That defeat leaves him with questions to answer. |
3rd (2) Marley Luck | | | | | 4 | Jose Bracho | Jeffrey Radosevich | He has won four times from 5f to 6f. A winner at evens at Mahoning Valley over 6f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Dixie Giant. Entitled to be in the shake-up. |
(3) Compass Point | | | | | 6 | Noel Vigil | Rodney Faulkner | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Finished 7l behind Apache when fourth of 6 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 6f last month. Worth a second look. |
MARLEY LUCK went in by over two lengths over track and trip last month and he can follow up. Lazarus Project and Compass Point can follow him home.
Race 123: 18:20 Gowran Park Irish Stallion Farms EBF Vintage Tipple Stakes (Listed Race) (Fillies & Mares) IRE 1m 6f - All Gowran Park Races
6th (9) Starry Heavens | | | | | | 4 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | Stepped up from winning a middle-distance Sligo handicap to landing a Listed race at Longchamp in August; way below her best in a Fairyhouse Group 3 in September; ignored in the market as a stable outsider at Cork and finished last of 12, with four of these rivals in front of her. |
1st (4) Enfranchise | | | | | | 6 | Gavin Ryan | John Joseph Hanlon | Won a valuable fillies' handicap at Down Royal last June and successful in a maiden hurdle at the Galway festival; has run in two handicaps since then; stepped up considerably on her handicap form when splitting useful pair Thunder Roll and Echoes In Rain in a 1m4f Listed race at Glway in October, Perfect Portrait back in fourth. |
3rd (6) Joupe | | | | | | 7 | J M Sheridan | Peter Lawlor | Sole win was off 72 in a Curragh handicap in 2022; career-best when 5l runner-up in this race last year; not disgraced as a 150-1 chance at Cork 12 days ago; another good run not out of the question, but she is the lowest-rated runner. |
5th (2) Vischio | | | | | | 7 | Gary Carroll | R Donohoe | Dual-purpose performer improved considerably on Flat last year, culminating in a Listed win over 1m4f at the Curragh in heavy ground; has failed to win in ten starts on AW so last month's disappointing run at Dundalk should not be held against her |
9th (5) Esquiline | | | | | | 4 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Won a 1m4f Bellewstown maiden last summer and went close in a Curragh handicap over the same trip; fair effort after six months off in a Dundalk handicap and held her own when sixth at 33-1 in a Listed race at Cork contested by several of these. |
7th (8) Star Kissed | | | | | | 5 | Colin Keane | G M Lyons | Season was cut short after winning the 1m4f Cork Derby (premier handicap) last June; was a very progressive mare up to that point; should be better for her recent run at Cork but has plenty to find at these weights. |
2nd (3) Countess Of Tyrone | | | | | | 4 | W J Lee | P Twomey | Looked potentially smart when winning a 1m4f Galway maiden last August; never looked like making an impression when tried in a Listed race at Cork 12 days ago; much longer-priced rivals Esquiline and Joupe finished in front of her then; likely to be capable of better. |
8th (7) Perfect Portrait | | | | | | 4 | Mikey Sheehy | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Fourth in a 1m Group 3 at two, course winner of a maiden over just short of 1m2f this time last year; next two runs implied that progress had stalled but she ran a big race at 40-1 when fourth in a 1m4f Listed event at Galway (Enfranchise second at 50-1) and backed that up with a solid Naas third behind stablemate Dancing Tango. |
4th (1) Dancing Tango | | | | | | 5 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Ground-versatile, winning on good and AW before signing off last season by landing a 1m4f Listed race on soft; had previously shown a good standard of form on soft ground in two French raids, second at Clairefontaine in July, fourth at Saint-Cloud last month; Group 3-placed at Cork in between on soft-to-heavy; tongue-tie on now. |
Having ended last season on a high note with a 1m4f Listed win on soft ground at Naas, DANCING TANGO could prove hard to beat. Enfranchise was a 50-1 chance when producing a career-best at Galway last September and should go close if reproducing the form of that race in which Perfect Portrait took fourth. Countess Of Tyrone won her only start last year and may improve from her recent run at Cork when outsiders Esquiline and Joupe were in front of her. [Alan Sweetman]
Race 124: 18:30 San Isidro Race 2 - Maiden ARG 0m 5f 103y - All San Isidro Races
4th (9) Clobber | | | | | 5 | | Jorge A Olano | Makes only limited appeal. |
3rd (6) De Gloria | | | | | 5 | Rodriguez Aserito | Brian Baustian | Expected to be in the thick of the action. |
1st (5) El Taycan | | | | | 5 | Osvaldo Adrian Alderete | Elvio Bortule | Capable of playing a big part in the finish. |
2nd (7) Storm Texano | | | | | 5 | Francisco Leandro Fernandes | Rodolfo Landola | Could make a big impact on debut. |
(1) Kuwaitian Stripes | | | | | 5 | Jose Ernesto Leonardo | Jose Bentancourt | Best watched on his first taste of competitive action. |
(2) Just Worry | | | | | 5 | Sergio Antonio Piliero | Gustavo De | Difficult to recommend. |
(3) Amanecido Blue | | | | | 5 | | Rodolfo Landola | Keep him in mind. |
(4) Buen Inc | | | | | 5 | Eduardo Ortega | Guillermo Santacruz | Worth a second glance. |
(8) Negro Andariego | | | | | 5 | Jairo Flores | Daniel Orueta | Likely to have his supporters. |
Race 125: 18:30 Kempton racingtv.com Handicap (0-52) (6) 3yo GB 7f - All Kempton Races
8th (9) Wedgewood Sapphire | | | | | | 3 | Jack Doughty | Tony Carroll | Well beaten in her two French starts (5.5f/1m1f) last year and same story in C&D maiden (250-1) last month for new yard; no solid claims for this handicap debut but she's unexposed and needs a market check. |
5th (6) Warrior Tune | | | | | | 3 | Paddy Bradley | John Butler | Behind at big prices in her three qualifying races (AW) and fared no better when 20-1 for handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) latest. |
10th (14) Dream Of Keda | | | | | | 3 | Gina Mangan | Rachel Cook & John Bridger | 150-1 over C&D three weeks ago in her second handicap, with fortunes improving on the switch to front-running but it resulted in only a fifth of 13; needs to make another step forward. |
4th (8) Call Me The Breeze | | | | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Tom Ward | Behind in her four starts last term for Ed Walker; 25-1 and tongue tied, finished a lot closer when about 4l fifth of nine in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) 15 days ago on return for new yard, travelling best to 2f out; needs to find more. |
3rd (13) Dash Power | | | | | | 3 | Lewis Edmunds | Derek Shaw | 0-13 and the best of his five runs this term was on second occasion; wore cheekpieces on final start last year (behind) and now tries a visor. |
2nd (4) Rinnovati | | | | | | 3 | Luke Morris | Archie Watson | Handicap debut should offer a better chance but she has no solid claims following her three runs last year for Eve Johnson Houghton. |
9th (2) Falmouth Boy | | | | | | 3 | Neil Callan | Tony Carroll | Made the frame in handicaps on Lingfield Polytrack all three starts this year; the last two were 6f after a close call over 7f; in the mix. |
6th (11) Tea Leaf Ted | | | | | | 3 | Silvestre De Sousa | Dominic Ffrench Davis | Close third in December and short-headed next time; both were over C&D but so were his poor shows on last two outings; wore cheekpieces for all those four runs but they are removed today; player if back on song. |
1st (12) Blacklion | | | | | | 3 | Saffie Osborne | Jamie Osborne | Second of six on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March but did not back that up on either start since; wore a hood for the first two of those races and it returns today; player judged on one run out of six. |
7th (1) Blenheim Star | | | | | | 3 | Cieren Fallon | William Knight | Probably needs improvement to win but minor honours over 7f on Polytrack in her two handicaps (here latest) puts her into each-way contention. |
(3) Brinton | | | | | | 3 | Robert Havlin | Jonathan Portman | Closest when fourth of eight on handicap debut at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last time; needs to build on that and it was first run since August, so that may be possible for yard that has had three older horses win recently. |
(5) Meet Me In Meraki | | | | | | 3 | Darragh Keenan | David Evans | 11th attempt when off the mark in 11-runner handicap at Bath (1m, soft) on Monday, coming from towards rear to lead final 1f; did it in clearcut fashion, for which he gets a 6lb penalty but he did show something on AW too on penultimate start; in calculations if turned out again quickly. |
(7) Unforgettable Fire | | | | | | 3 | Olivia Tubb | Brian Meehan | Free-going sort, hooded last four starts; waiting tactics here on penultimate start and making most latest both had uninspiring results. |
It's only two days since Meet Me In Meraki made his breakthrough at Bath, which came on soft ground and earned him a penalty, but he has to be on the shortlist given the apparent limitations of today's opposition. Some are admittedly unexposed and need a market check. However, FALMOUTH BOY and Brinton seem the most likely contenders on current evidence and Call Me The Breeze showed something on her reappearance for a new stable.[Richard Austen]
Race 126: 18:34 Philadelphia Maiden Claiming - All Philadelphia Races
2nd (2) Whoosh | | | | | 4 | Francisco Martinez | Emmanuel Tzortzakis | Placed twice in 11 starts. Beaten a neck by Fenwick Jack when second of 8 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. |
1st (3) Amani's Tiger | | | | | 4 | Mychel Sanchez | Jamie Ness | Placed in five of nine starts. Beaten 4l by Costner when second of 6 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 1f last month. |
(1) Bijah Again | | | | | 3 | Ajhari Williams | Abdul Williams | Full brother to Nakibeya, won at 1m. Finished 13l behind Fenwick Jack when sixth of 8 at 33-1 on his racecourse debut at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. |
(4) Sheer Dominance | | | | | 3 | Luis Ocasio | Louis Linder, Jr | Placed once in five starts. Third of 7 behind Secured Landing beaten 10l at 6-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 7f last month. |
(5) Carry Grant | | | | | 3 | Dexter Haddock | Ilias Tapsas | Placed once in four starts. Finished behind My Man Woody when fourth of 7 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 7f last month. |
(6) Lion In The Sun | | | | | 3 | Eliseo Ruiz | Edward Coletti, Jr | Placed in three of four starts. Third of 8 behind Carcharoth beaten 10l at 17-2 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 7f in March. |
AMANI'S TIGER has filled second place on his last two starts and appears to have every chance to go one better here. That said, Lion In The Sun and Sheer Dominance should not be discounted.
Race 127: 18:37 Auteuil Rochefoucauld Chase - All Auteuil Races
4th (6) Quiniland | | | | | 4 | T Dumouch | Gab Leenders | Proved in need of his only run of the year when 7th in a handicap chase at Compiegne over 3800m on 3 April. Fitter now and can earn some money |
3rd (7) Light Wave | | | | | 4 | A Pageot | Joel Boisnard | Won three hurdle races last year and was not disgraced when fourth last time out in a GR.3. hurdle race at Compiegne over 3400m on 30 November. Has a winning chance if fit from a break |
1st (8) Sissi Du Mesnil | | | | | 4 | K Nabet | H F Devin | Unreliable but did run well on chase debut when runner-up in a Conditions race at Compiegne over 3450m on 8 April. Can fight out the finish again |
2nd (2) Kroisade | | | | | 4 | J Charron | Mme D Mele | A bit of a disappointment when fourth and well beaten in a GR.3 chase at this course over 4400m on 31 March. In good form before that and can bounce back to win |
(1) Konfiner | | | | | 4 | F Mula | F Nicolle | Has struck a purple patch of form, winning three chase claimers, with the latest being at this course over 3700m on 21 April. Tackles stronger but may play a minor role |
(3) Karukerra | | | | | 4 | F Giles | E Clayeux | Very consistent so far and won on chase debut at Compiegne over 3450m on 5 March. Not out of it |
(4) Narval | | | | | 4 | A Zuliani | F Nicolle | Yet to win a race and was 5th last time out in a Conditions chase at Compiegne over 3900m on 25 March. More is needed to beat these rivals |
(5) Maskaya | | | | | 4 | L Zuliani | P Quinton | Only found one better in both chases this year, with the latest being in a Conditions chase over this track and trip on 6 April. Be right there at the finish once again |
KROISADE (2) was a bit of a disappointment last time out but did better before that and could bounce back to score. SISSI DU MESNIL (8) showed improvement when only finding one better on chase debut and is a lively danger. MASKAYA (5) deserves a winning shot after two good recent runner-up performances. MASKAYA (5) may be better in a hurdle race but tat cannot be taken for granted,.
Race 128: 18:40 Fontwell Starsports.Bet Handicap Hurdle (0-110) (4) 4yo+ GB 3m 1f 166y - All Fontwell Races
7th (5) Chabadatika | | | | | | 5 | Lorcan Murtagh | Syd Hosie | Won over hurdles in France (2m1f, heavy) in December 2022 but she's struggled in three handicaps for new yard since November; pulled up at Exeter last time and has a lot to prove upped to this trip after another break; one of two runners for Syd Hosie. |
3rd (3) Westtara | | | | | | 9 | Marc Goldstein | Diana Grissell | Most of his racing has been in points but he's 1-15 in that sphere; still unexposed over hurdles but he struggled at a big price on his handicap debut here (2m3f, good) last month and others are more convincing. |
5th (1) Weseekherthere | | | | | | 5 | Micheal Nolan | Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott; runner-up at Hereford (2m3f, good) on second run for current yard, but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off at Wincanton on her return last month; has something to prove again after that and she's untried beyond 2m5f. |
4th (2) The Wise Traveller | | | | | | 8 | James Best | Sarah Humphrey | Well beaten in a chase on stable debut in October but he won back over hurdles at Huntingdon and Fakenham (both at 2m7f on good) in next two starts; didn't fire in his hat-trick bid at Stratford last month but a return to patient tactics may have backfired and he's capable of bouncing back; not ruled out. |
6th (6) Bobalot | | | | | | 7 | Tom Bellamy | Ben Clarke | Recorded his second hurdle win when scoring over 2m5f here (soft) in January; only 3lb higher than for that clear-cut success but he's failed to repeat the form in three runs since and needs to get back near his best; first win was at 2m7f but this is his first try at this trip. |
2nd (4) Thirtyfour Thirty | | | | | | 5 | Gavin Sheehan | Syd Hosie | Justified support on handicap debut here (2m1f, heavy) in December but he's been disappointing in two runs at 2m5f since; now only 1lb higher than for his win but he has plenty to prove again and is untried at this trip. |
1st (7) The Bold Thady | | | | | | 7 | Thomasina Eyston | Neil Mulholland | Yet to win in 16 runs, but has been placed on ten occasions, including when runner-up in a Plumpton handicap (3m1f, good) on his penultimate start; that form puts him in the picture and he may have done too much too soon at Fakenham last time. |
(8) Aworkinprogress | | | | | | 5 | James Davies | Nick Gifford | Unexposed 5yo who found improvement upped to 2m5f when winning a five-runner handicap on heavy ground here in March; 6lb higher on this step up to 3m1f but he rallied well to forge clear last time and shaped like a strong stayer; big player. |
This can go to Nick Gifford's unexposed 5yo AWORKINPROGRESS (nap), who shaped like a strong stayer when winning a 2m5f handicap here in March and is open to more progress on his step up to this trip. Second choice is The Bold Thady, who has stacks of placed efforts in his record, including a second over 3m1f on his penultimate run. The Wise Traveller didn't fire in his hat-trick bid last time, but a return to patient tactics may have backfired and it wouldn't be a surprise if he bounced back with a bold bid.[David Moon]
Race 129: 18:50 Thistledown Race 3 - Claiming - All Thistledown Races
4th (1) Tonala | | | | | 6 | Yan Aviles | Ivan Calderon | She has won four times from 6f to 7f. Beaten by Iyiyi when second of 5 at 18-5 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 1m (good) in March. Running on lately over a mile, so the drop in trip may not be a positive. |
3rd (2) Frankly My Dear | | | | | 6 | Angel Diaz | Ivan Calderon | Winner of five races from 5f to 7f. A winner at 18-5 at Mahoning Valley over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Sabelle. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Nestor Rivera, and the only runner successful last time out in this field. |
2nd (4) J P's Gladys | | | | | 10 | Fernando Becerra Salazar | Nestor Rivera | Has won 17 races from 5f to 7f. Finished 6l behind Rosy Apple when last of 6 at 4-5fav on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f last month. A clear run on the front end would make her a danger to all. |
1st (6) Varton | | | | | 6 | Rocco Bowen | Kim Puhl | Has won eight races from 5f to 6f. Finished 12l behind Naughty Lottie when fifth of 8 at 8-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 5f last month. Unlikely to be left alone on the front end which may see a similar performance, though a place remains on the cards. |
(3) Sky | | | | | 6 | Bailey Weatherly | Tina Casalinova | She has won four times from 5f to 6f. Finished behind Epicurean when last of 6 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 6f last month. Better than that on her day but she can run in snatches. |
(5) La Reina Del Norte | | | | | 6 | Gaddiel Martinez | Sydney Rotunno | She has won three times at 5f. Third of 6 behind Frankly My Dear beaten at 3-1 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Stephen Trevino, but she has her work cut out to reverse the form with the winner on only 2lb better terms. |
Varton will be popular but she seems likely to be bothered from the start, which may see her struggle in the finish. J P's Gladys could be one of those serving it up on the front end, and recent winner FRANKLY MY DEAR can use her strength in a finish to run them both down close home.
Race 130: 18:50 Gowran Park Irish Stallion Farms EBF Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes (Listed Race) (Fillies & Mares) IRE 1m 1f 100y - All Gowran Park Races
4th (6) Villanova Queen | | | | | | 5 | Scott McCullagh | Mrs John Harrington | Third in the Leopardstown 1000 Guineas Trial in 2022; best run last year when winning the valuable Kensington Palace Handicap at Ascot; well held in Group races at Leopardstown and out of the money in a Listed race at Dundalk last September. |
1st (2) Empress Of Beauty | | | | | | 4 | W J Lee | Henry De Bromhead | Debut maiden winner over C&D a year ago beating the very useful Thunder Roll; narrowly denied in a 1m2f Listed race at Naas; again emerged with credit when third (four runners) in the Group 3 Meld Stakes at Leopardstown; failed to reproduce that form at Naas on final outing. |
3rd (3) Mexicali Rose | | | | | | 4 | Chris Hayes | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Bought for 42,000gns out of Ralph Beckett's yard last December, having won Chepstow maiden last summer and run to a better level subsequently in handicaps at Pontefract and Newmarket; unplaced in a handicap on stable debut; not well treated by the race conditions. |
2nd (1) Goldana | | | | | | 5 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Formerly trained in Germany; won 7f Group 3 Gladness Stakes against geldings at the Curragh on seasonal/yard debut early last season; highly tried after that; did not quite run to market expectations when third in a 1m Group 3 event at the Curragh on reappearance; landed the odds at Leopardstown four weeks ago; missed an engagement on Monday. |
(4) Snowcapped | | | | | | 4 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | Ran well on her first two attempts in stakes company; third in a Listed race over 1m2f at Naas, 1 1/2l behind today's rival Empress Of Beauty; better form when close fourth in Curragh Group 3 over 1m1f; stamina stretched by 1m4f on her final start; respected back in distance now. |
(5) Star Galaxy | | | | | | 4 | Mikey Sheehy | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Winner over 1m1f at Punchestown last September on handicap debut; promising display when fifth of 14 in a Listed race at Compiegne the following month; open to further improvement. |
(7) Flight Of Fancy | | | | | | 3 | Wayne Lordan | A P O'Brien | Sister to six winners including Group 1 winner Johannes Vermeer; easy in market, ran green on sole juvenile start at Cork in September; third in a 1m2f maiden at Leopardstown on seasonal debut; considerable improvement required at this level. |
Having missed an engagement at the Curragh on Monday, GOLDANA would seem to set the standard in this. Empress Of Beauty and Snowcapped, both appearing for the first time this season, are possibly the pick of the opposition. [Alan Sweetman]
Race 131: 19:00 San Isidro Race 3 - Allowance ARG 5f 212y - All San Isidro Races
3rd (5) Le Magul | | | | | 7 | | Eduardo Bello | Worth considering, for a place at least. |
4th (7) Tolillo | | | | | 8 | Fabio Emanuel Escobar | Gustavo Barragan | No reason why he won't run his usual honest race. |
2nd (9) Don Cacao | | | | | 7 | Rodriguez Aserito | Gonzalez | Has to be considered closely. |
1st (6) Land Recon | | | | | 7 | Agustina Belen Valdez | Roberto Campos | Major player at this level of competition. |
(1) Pedrito In | | | | | 7 | | Emanuel Sala | Needs to find another couple of gears from somewhere. |
(2) On Your Side | | | | | 7 | Luciano Matias Recuero | Luis Ojeda | Must do better. |
(3) Aliado Mio | | | | | 7 | Tomas Daniel Baez | Ezequiel Ramseyer | One for the shortlist. |
(4) Avispa Reina | | | | | 7 | Santiago Fabian Conti | Pablo Mayola | This could be asking a bit much of her. |
(8) Skinny Banker | | | | | 9 | Gabriel Alejandro Sediari | Alfredo Mollo | In with a shout. |
Race 132: 19:00 Kempton Unibet More Extra Place Races Fillies' Restricted Novice Stakes (Bands B, C And D) (GBB Race) GB 7f - All Kempton Races
3rd (3) Eternal Spring | | | | | | 3 | Billy Loughnane | James Tate | 45,000gns yearling who went for just 1,000gns last year; was easy to back from the outside stall on her C&D debut last month, when shaping nicely (slowly away, trapped wide), and is entitled to improve for a yard that's 12-38 this year. |
4th (7) Bella Taslina | | | | | | 3 | Richard Kingscote | Clive Cox | Plenty to like about her Newbury debut, when a clear second despite swerving left leaving the stalls and getting involved in some barging; holds leading claims on that. |
2nd (4) Get Jiggy With It | | | | | | 3 | Saffie Osborne | Charles Hills | Consistent in defeat last summer and again gave her running on her Lingfield comeback a month ago; no obvious reason she won't go well once more and she about sets the standard but is vulnerable to improvers now. |
1st (2) Rochelle | | | | | | 3 | James Doyle | Kevin Philippart De Foy | Favourite for a big-field Newmarket maiden on her debut last autumn, when shaping well, before off the mark at a very short price next time (Polytrack); both starts for Peter Chapple-Hyam; has plenty of potential for her new yard (still with same owner). |
(1) Atlantis Blue | | | | | | 5 | Neil Callan | George Baker | Has gone close first time out the previous two seasons but each time over a deal further and was very expensive to follow last year; this is tougher coming back out of handicaps and racing over shy of 1m for the first time, without the usual hood. |
(5) Idyllic | | | | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Charlie Fellowes | Slowly away both starts to date, including from a similar draw on her C&D comeback (behind Eternal Spring); is likely to find life easier once handicapping. |
(6) Sneaky Girl | | | | | | 3 | Marco Ghiani | Marco Botti | Well related but has been slowly away and in need of the experience in two Newcastle runs; tonight's drop in trip doesn't look optimal, especially from the outside stall, and she may be best watched again. |
(8) Moon Over India | | | | | | 3 | George Bass | Jack Channon | Long way behind Bella Taslina on debut and ran well below market expectations down to sprinting last time; may want more time and handicaps are probably next up. |
(9) Rhapsody In Blue | | | | | | 3 | Darragh Keenan | Mike Murphy & Michael Keady | 32,000gns yearling who's a half-sister to four winners (all improved with time; none successful first time out), notably Desert Hope and Quick Change; yard among the winners but with handicappers and they wouldn't be noted for newcomers. |
(10) Dancing The Dream | | | | | | 3 | Edward Greatrex | Jack Channon | Not bred for sprinting, so it was encouraging to see her offer more when ahead of better-fancied stablemate Moon Over India last time (5.7f, soft); she'll want another big step forward if she's to take this, however. |
Bella Taslina has the benefit of a recent run, and a promising one at that, and gets 5lb from the penalised ROCHELLE, but the selection has plenty of potential herself for her new trainer and is preferred. Eternal Springs, who shaped nicely from a wide stall on her C&D debut for a yard that's operating at an excellent strike-rate this year, is another to consider.[Graham Wheldon]
2nd (7) Dathoss | | | | | 5 | Andrew Wolfsont | Jack Abrams | He has won four times from 5f to 6f. Finished 5l behind B B Bad when fourth of 10 at 5-2 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f in March. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Scott Lake in United States. |
1st (1) Borracho | | | | | 8 | Mychel Sanchez | Jamie Ness | Has won ten races from 5f to 1m. Finished behind Buff Hello when sixth of 9 at 13-5 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f in March. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Juan Arriagada. |
3rd (2) Ava K's Boy | | | | | 5 | Eliseo Ruiz | Silvino Ramirez | Winner of six races from 5f to 6f. Beaten 2 1/4l by Souper Fly Over when second of 11 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Jr Catalano. |
(3) Taco Bean | | | | | 6 | Abner Adorno | Philip Aristone | Winner of five races at 6f. Finished 7l behind Souper Fly Over when fifth of 11 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. |
(4) Big Brown Shoes | | | | | 6 | Luis Ocasio | Harold Wyner | Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. Third of 8 behind Ava K's Boy beaten at 8-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f in March. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jorge Diaz. |
(5) Pylon | | | | | 6 | Darwin Rodriguez | Irving Rodriguez | Has won eight races from 5f to 1m. A winner at 11-2 at Philadelphia Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Mischievous Jones. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Carlos Caban. |
(6) Chain Reaction | | | | | 5 | Paco Lopez | Felix Coba | Winner of five races at 6f. Well beaten at 16-1 behind Quick Return when last of 7 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f in February. |
Borracho and Pylon both merit plenty of respect, but preference is for AVA K'S BOY after he hit the crossbar in a similar event over C&D last month.
Race 134: 19:10 Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight - All Horseshoe Indianapolis Races
4th (6) Turbo Gal | | | | | 3 | Abel Cedillo | Ethan West | Placed twice in three starts. Third of 9 behind Kays Heavenly Star beaten 8l at 9-5fav on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Improvement must be extracted from somewhere. |
2nd (3) Ma Louise | | | | | 5 | Jane Elliott | Matt Kordenbrock | Full sister to Marilyn Mongo, won twice at 5f. Only market support would make her of interest. |
3rd (4) C V Scenic Legacy | | | | | 4 | Yarmarie Correa | Agustin Gonzalez | Placed twice in three starts. Third of 11 behind Evil Intentions beaten at 4-1 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 6f in July last year. Another prominent showing is forecast. |
1st (2) Shaggy Kitty | | | | | 3 | Marcelino Jr Pedroza | Genaro Garcia | Dam unraced. Finished 4l behind Pewter's Promise when fourth of 8 at 19-2 on her racecourse debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Leading claims. |
(1) Lucky Linda W | | | | | 4 | Rodney Prescott | Jonathan Nance | Placed in three of 11 starts. Finished 12l behind Kays Heavenly Star when fifth of 9 at 6-1 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Bounce back required. |
(5) Luna Diva | | | | | 3 | Santo Sanjur | Antonio Duran | Yet to place in five starts. Finished 12l behind Eye Shadow when fourth of 9 at 11-1 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Others are more persuasive. |
(7) Abra Abra | | | | | 4 | Hannah Leahey | Tianna Richardville | Placed once in seven starts. Beaten 16l behind Kays Heavenly Star at 16-1 when eighth of 9 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. That heavy defeat must be put behind her. |
(8) C V Cinnamon Rose | | | | | 3 | Frank Reyes | Agustin Gonzalez | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 7l behind Shieldmewithprayer when fifth of 9 at 20-1 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f in November last year. Needs to improve. |
There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from SHAGGY KITTY's debut fourth here last month and any improvement should make her tough to beat. C V Scenic Legacy and Lucky Linda W may battle it out for the silver medal.
Race 135: 19:10 Fontwell Star Sports Handicap Chase (0-100) (5) 5yo+ GB 3m 1f 210y - All Fontwell Races
3rd (10) Eightytwo Team | | | | | | 8 | Ben Jones | Clare Ellam | Came good under rules at 25th attempt at Southwell (3m, good; first-time tongue-tie) last July; absent since two lesser efforts last summer, though, and not the percentage call here. |
2nd (11) Fama Et Gloria | | | | | | 8 | Harry Reed | Michael Hawker | 0-8 under rules, having struggled in two handicap chases during the winter; won a minor point in March and was placed twice in that sphere last monthm but still makes only limited appeal. |
1st (6) River Tyne | | | | | | 9 | James Davies | Nick Gifford | Remote third on heavy ground a fortnight ago and now 0-19 under rules, but was runner-up on consecutive outings beforehand (3m1f/2m7f) and has obvious each-way claims if judged on those efforts. |
4th (3) Joe Cotton | | | | | | 6 | Lorcan Williams | Jeremy Scott | Kept on dourly to win by 22l on chasing debut at Exeter (2m3f, heavy) in March and also ran well when third in better race than this here (2m5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; looks well worth a crack at today's trip and probably still has potential over fences; good chance. |
(1) Friends Don't Ask | | | | | | 9 | Nick Scholfield | Clare Ellam | Four chase wins (one over C&D) when trained by Martin Smith but, following a long absence, was pulled up on both starts for new stable in January; needs to prove some ability remains. |
(2) Twenty Twenty | | | | | | 9 | Caoilin Quinn | Gary & Josh Moore | Caused 20-1 surprise under positive ride at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) in December, but was back in the doldrums at Huntingdon in March and it's hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task here. |
(4) Uallrightharry | | | | | | 12 | Tom Cannon | Karen Jewell | Veteran who returned to form with front-running win in small-field C&D (heavy) contest in March; remains well handicapped on older form and will be fine on today's faster ground, but was pulled up at Stratford last month and needs to bounce back again. |
(5) Astroman | | | | | | 7 | Tom Bellamy | Syd Hosie | Placed over hurdles at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last month, after a break, and is now 2lb lower than when second in Wincanton chase (3m1f, good) in the autumn; well beaten when back over fences there recently, though, and now has a point to prove; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |
(7) Getupearly | | | | | | 7 | Micheal Nolan | Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | Just a respectable sixth of 15 on recent chasing debut at Warwick (3m, good), having been ridden very patiently, but has become well handicapped on some of last year's hurdling form and has scope for progress over fences. |
(8) Touch Tight | | | | | | 12 | Mr Phillip York | Phil York | Placed twice over 3m at Southwell (good) last summer and returned from layoff with three point seconds in February/March, but stuggled to get competitive back under rules here (2m3f, good) last month and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance. |
(9) Seymour Promise | | | | | | 8 | Brendan Powell | Joe Tizzard | Had very mixed record last season but was reportedly better suited by the drying ground when ending that campaign with clear-cut win at Taunton (2m7f, soft) four weeks ago; contender if in the right mood again. |
(12) Cloudy Flamingo | | | | | | 8 | Gavin Sheehan | Keiran Burke | 0-6 under rules but put in fairly good front-running shift when third (albeit well held in the end) at Exeter (3m, soft) in March, and his winning point form offers hope he'll be better suited by the forecast good ground here; blinkers removed after one use; 2lb wrong; could have a say. |
(13) Elzaaro | | | | | | 6 | Marc Goldstein | Karen Jewell | Unexposed after only six starts but was unable to land a telling blow when sixth of 11 here (2m3f, good) on recent chasing debut and is not bred to benefit from today's step up in trip; 2lb wrong. |
Class-dropper JOE COTTON made a pleasing start to his chasing career over shorter trips at the end of last season and there is significant hope that today's stamina test can enable further progress. He gets the vote ahead of Getupearly, who is well handicapped on hurdling form and didn't really have the race run to suit when sixth on his chasing debut. Cloudy Flamingo is not yet exposed under rules and today's return to forecast good ground might aid his cause.[Chris Wilson]
Race 136: 19:20 Thistledown Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight - All Thistledown Races
3rd (2) Mi Cancion | | | | | 4 | Bailey Weatherly | John Erdel | Unplaced in all eight starts. Finished 18l behind Zashixiarayan when sixth of 7 at 60-1 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in February. Struggled for far too long and possibly best watched at present. |
1st (3) National Diamond | | | | | 3 | Rocco Bowen | Timothy Hamm | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 13l behind Beautiful Score when last of 6 at 4-1 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 5f last month. Glimmers of ability and well worth a market watch for any signs of confidence. |
2nd (5) Bold Ruby | | | | | 3 | Mauro Cedillo | Jacinto Lopez | Unplaced in both starts. Finished behind She's A Soldier when fourth of 5 at 13-1 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 5f last month. Not beaten far on her first start in four months and every chance there is more to come. |
(1) Bold Nicky | | | | | 5 | Samuel Jimenez | Rachael Maddox | Placed in four of 17 starts. Finished 14l behind Zashixiarayan when fifth of 7 at 13-1 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in February. Hard to see her getting too competitive at this level. |
(4) Blue Mojito | | | | | 3 | Fernando Becerra Salazar | Jevon Crumley | Full sister to Dark Maze, won at 6f. Nothing too exciting in her work but she has been found a weak contest for the money. |
(6) Vertisalute | | | | | 3 | T Houghton | Richard Rettele | Finished behind Tierney when sixth of 12 at 6-1 on her racecourse debut at Thistledown over 6f in October last year. Likely to do better with that run under her belt and one to consider. |
A small field for the money but that won't bother the connections of BOLD RUBY, who showed plenty of promise last time out and looks the one to beat. National Diamond may chase her home, though newcomer Blue Mojito is one to watch and could also get involved.
Race 137: 19:20 Gowran Park Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden IRE 1m 1f 100y - All Gowran Park Races
3rd (8) Victoria Kesia | | | | | | 3 | Gary Carroll | Joseph G Murphy | Ran green when 50-1 on debut at the Curragh; made some late headway over 1m at this venue a fortnight ago; extra distance should help |
1st (2) Glor Tire | | | | | | 3 | Andrew Slattery | J S Bolger | Relatively experienced filly, went closest when runner-up in Leopardstown maiden over extended 7f last July; ended the campaign with an undistinguished Dundalk run; cheekpieces added now for first attempt beyond 1m. |
2nd (4) Iseult Of Ireland | | | | | | 3 | Wayne Lordan | A P O'Brien | First foal out of a maiden winning sister to the Arc winner Found; failed to make any significant impression in a Galway maiden won by her stablemate Everlasting last October; could be a different proposition now, though the going may not be ideal for her. |
4th (3) Hanalia | | | | | | 3 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Eighth foal; closely related to Group 3 winner Hamariyna, half-sister to winners including Group 3 scorer Hunaina; dam, by Danehill Dancer, 1m winner for John Oxx; should be taken seriously. |
(1) Star With A Spark | | | | | | 4 | Jamie Powell | Luke Comer | Was doing her best work at the finish over 1m at Dundalk on debut; longer trip should suit but not a likely winner at this stage. |
(5) Quilieve | | | | | | 3 | W J Lee | Henry De Bromhead | Half-sister to several winners including yard's Triumph Hurdle winner Quixilios and the useful Colour Sergeant; not unbacked but never competitive after a slow start on Leopardstown debut last October; should do better. |
(6) Share The Treasure | | | | | | 3 | Robert Whearty | T Hogan | Reported to be in season after finishing in rear on debut at the Curragh; no threat in a Leopardstown maiden in which Quilieve finished fifth. |
(7) Thisoldheartofmine | | | | | | 3 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Fifth foal; half-sister to six-time winner Diamond Dougal; dam unraced half-sister to 6f Listed winner Minalisa and 6f-7f winner Peace Seeker; speedy pedigree, trip might be an issue. |
Not an easy race to weigh up, and newcomers Thisoldheartofmine and Hanalia are potentially interesting given the lack of worthwhile form to focus on. It could pay to take a chance with QUILIEVE who attracted some market support on her only start at two and may improve over this longer trip. Ballydoyle's once-raced filly Iseult Of Ireland may also make her presence felt having had time to mature. [Alan Sweetman]
1st (4) Jarlian | | | | | 6 | Adam Bowman | Hugo Padilla | Has won eight races from 6f to 1m. Third of 11 behind Secret Path beaten at 16-5 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jamie Ness in United States. |
3rd (2) Secret Path | | | | | 8 | Paco Lopez | Scott Lake | Winner of six races from 7f to 1m. A winner at 16-1 at Philadelphia Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Silver Edge. |
2nd (3) Silver Edge | | | | | 7 | Silvestre Gonzalez | Ronald Dandy | Has won eight races from 5f to 1m. Beaten by Secret Path when second of 11 at 5-2fav on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Frank Pollara. |
(1) Large | | | | | 7 | Eliseo Ruiz | J Guerrero | He has won four times from 6f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 4-5fav at Philadelphia Park over 7f last month, beating Midnight Cat. |
(5) Warrior's Vendetta | | | | | 4 | Luis Rivera | Ruperto Perez | He has won four times from 7f to 1m. A winner at 13-2 at Philadelphia Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Sensible Jim. |
(6) El Hermano | | | | | 8 | Francisco Martinez | Jack Abrams | Has won 11 races from 1m to 1m 1f. Finished 9l behind Daddy Knows when fifth of 10 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. |
(7) Sevier | | | | | 10 | Frankie Pennington | Jamie Ness | Has won 29 races from 5f to 1m. Finished behind Uncaptured Storm when sixth of 10 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. |
(8) Awesome Launch | | | | | 6 | Franklin Jr Gonzalez | Juan Guerrero | Winner of six races at 1m. A winner at 17-4 at Philadelphia Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating City Rage by 15l. |
(9) Desantis | | | | | 4 | Abner Adorno | Ernesto Preciado | Winner of five races from 1m to 1m 1f. Beaten 4l by It's Game Time when second of 9 at 15-2 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. |
(10) Dontinvademyspace | | | | | 4 | Daylor Berrios Lopez | Ernesto Preciado | He has won four times from 5f to 1m. A winner at 12-1 at Philadelphia Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Dad's On A Roll by 2 1/2l. |
SECRET PATH accounted for a few of these when winning here last month and the veteran can confirm that form en route to another success. The shortlist is completed by Silver Edge and Sevier.

3rd (6) Forticity | | | | | 5 | Rodrigo Daniel Bascunan | Luis A Fernandez | Could run into the money. |
4th (1) Personal Sound | | | | | 5 | Ramiro Ezequiel Salazar | Jose Viola | Unlikely to trouble his rivals. |
2nd (9) El Gran Menuhin | | | | | 5 | Brian Rodrigo Enrique | Miguel Medina | Worth a second look. |
1st (7) Tremendo Rayo | | | | | 5 | Juan Pablo Paoloni | Neto Nickel | Could land a blow. |
(2) Khan Academy | | | | | 5 | Pablo Aramis Capra | Diego Sinner | It's best to look elsewhere for the winner. |
(3) African Tango | | | | | 5 | Wilson Rosario Moreyra | Loeda Iguacel | Could get involved. |
(4) Amigo Optimista | | | | | 5 | Pablo Damian Carrizo | Pedro Armada | Others might have his measure. |
(5) Holy Chanta | | | | | 5 | Lucrecia Mariana Carabajal | Alejandro Mazzeo | Difficult to recommend. |
(8) Say Long | | | | | 5 | Eduardo Ortega | Hugo Sanagua | Could make his presence felt. |
(10) Puro Azar | | | | | 5 | Cristian Ernesto Velazquez | Hugo Perez | Others look more appealing options. |
(11) Eufemio | | | | | 5 | Ivan Eduardo Monasterolo | Juan Etchechoury | Unlikely to be good enough. |
(12) Capitan Fantastico | | | | | 5 | Luis Fernando Vai | Juan Maldotti | Will be hard to keep out of the finish. |

Race 140: 19:30 Kempton Try Unibet's New Acca Boosts Handicap (0-80) (4) 4yo+ GB 7f - All Kempton Races
3rd (5) Sayifyouwill | | | | | | 6 | Rob Hornby | Amanda Perrett | Currently 4-13 over C&D, including a win in this race last year off a 2lb higher mark, and has notched all eight victories in the first half of the year; recent comeback here should have readied her for a repeat bid and she's shortlisted. |
4th (8) Arctician | | | | | | 6 | Silvestre De Sousa | Simon Dow | Highly consistent since the hood went on but the handicapper knows where he is with him as a result; will be happier back up from 6f, though, and should give his running as usual. |
1st (13) Thapa Vc | | | | | | 6 | Jack Mitchell | Mark Rimell | Will always need some luck given his run-style but he's a proven winner who hasn't found races run to suit of late; tonight's bigger field should help and he's fairly treated again (4lb lower than when last successful). |
2nd (2) Giant | | | | | | 4 | Neil Callan | Richard Spencer | Two wins and two seconds from four starts over 7f on Polytrack, latterly when making all over C&D on his comeback off 6lb lower; looked to have no excuses on Tapeta last time, again from the front, and this is a deeper race. |
(3) Chola Empire | | | | | | 5 | Luke Morris | David Simcock | Made all when winning at Southwell off 4lb lower six weeks ago (non-runner at Newmarket and Yarmouth over the weekend); there's little wiggle room off his revised mark. |
(4) Rich | | | | | | 4 | Pat Dobbs | Richard Hannon | Proved difficult to place last year and wasn't seen again after July; she won first time out as a 2yo, though, and ran well on comeback last spring, which gives some hope down another 3lb. |
(6) Ultramarine | | | | | | 5 | Richard Kingscote | David Evans | 2-2 over C&D, latterly off this mark in February, but inclined to pull away his chances since; can do better if settling from the inside stall. |
(7) Redredrobin | | | | | | 7 | William Carson | Malcolm Saunders | Has gone well first time out before but she's getting on and resumes above her highest winning mark after a successful 2023; all victories have come on turf and she might need some help from the handicapper now. |
(9) Touchwood | | | | | | 6 | James Sullivan | Ruth Carr | Any number of short-priced defeats to go with his three wins; goes well here and made a fair comeback on Tapeta four weeks ago, but he's gone well fresh more than once, is 6lb above his last successful mark and drawn wide. |
(10) Mystery Monarch | | | | | | 5 | George Downing | Eve Johnson Houghton | First run since his 2yo days when second in a Chelmsford maiden three weeks ago; is entitled to have come on for that but is now taking on hardened handicappers from a wide stall. |
(11) Algheed | | | | | | 6 | Billy Loughnane | Mark Loughnane | Consistent this year, despite often pulling hard, and remains on a winning mark; she may have to drop in this time from a wide stall, in which case she'll need to settle and get some luck. |
(12) Surrey Noir | | | | | | 4 | James Doyle | Charlie Fellowes | Cheekpieces helped last backend, when turning in three solid efforts over C&D under James Doyle; was drawn wide and inclined to pull hard on his turf comeback (6f) and should do much better. |
(14) Unsung Hero | | | | | | 5 | Marco Ghiani | Heather Main | Dual C&D winner from the front as a 3yo who generally struggled during a light campaign last year (latterly in blinkers) and has landed the outside stall back from six months off; has a bit on his plate. |
A wide-open handicap includes last year's winner SAYIFYOUWILL, who's 2lb lower this time and entitled to have come on for her recent course comeback. The combination of 6f, wide stall and turf was no good for Surrey Noir on his return and he should do better too, as should Thapa Vc, who hasn't found races run to suit lately.[Graham Wheldon]
Race 141: 19:40 Fontwell starsportsbet.co.uk Mares' Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle (Div I) (0-95) (5) 4yo+ GB 2m 3f 29y - All Fontwell Races
3rd (6) Miss Popalong | | | | | | 5 | Micheal Nolan | Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | Very lightly raced 5yo but she's failed to complete at massive prices in her last two hurdle runs; in good hands and now goes handicapping but she needs a transformation with hood added. |
4th (9) Hey Day Baby | | | | | | 6 | Jack Hogan | Jonjo & A J O'Neill | Won Irish point in late 2022, but has achieved little over hurdles so far and she's been pulled up in both handicaps (3m/2m3f) this spring; mark continues to fall but has plenty to prove with cheekpieces now tried; 2lb out of the weights. |
2nd (2) Janworth | | | | | | 7 | Gavin Sheehan | Jamie Snowden | Very lightly raced 7yo; placed in her sole bumper in December 2022 and has shown some ability over hurdles this year, including when a staying-on fourth at Hereford (2m, soft); has plenty of stamina in her pedigree and she looks interesting now upped in trip on handicap debut. |
1st (3) Mermaids Cave | | | | | | 5 | Mr Alex Chadwick | James Owen | Back from a break with a 4l third at Leicester in March, but that was a small-field seller and she was disappointing back in a handicap at Southwell (2m4f, good; 6-1) last month; record now stands at 0-8 and others are more convincing. |
(1) Miss Mahmite | | | | | | 9 | Harry Bannister | Richard J Bandey | Runner-up in a Doncaster novice (2m3f, good to soft) in November 2020 but she's had only three starts since and has been pulled up in all of them; with another new yard now and has plenty to prove after another absence. |
(4) Jamaicaine | | | | | | 5 | Brendan Powell | Neil Mulholland | Close second in French Flat race on debut two years ago, but she's not seen much action since and has struggled in last three hurdle runs; didn't jump with much fluency when pulled up on her handicap debut in February and has lots to prove. |
(5) Seasmoke | | | | | | 6 | James Bowen | Billy Aprahamian | Runner-up in the second of her two Irish points; 0-5 over hurdles but she ran well for a long way when fourth of nine in a Ludlow handicap (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; wasn't beaten far in that race and she's in the mix on this drop back in trip. |
(7) Princess Unique | | | | | | 5 | Ben Jones | Peter & Michael Bowen | Showed some ability in her final bumper but she struggled in three hurdle runs last summer/autumn; now switches to a handicap but she needs major improvement after 233 days off; hood back on. |
(8) Orbys River | | | | | | 6 | Toby Wynne | Sam Allwood | Still a maiden but she finished runner-up in two of her first four handicaps, including from off the pace at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) last month; still has potential and she has possibilities back up in trip; well beaten 7.15 Southwell Tuesday. |
(10) Silver Bobbin | | | | | | 4 | James Davies | Adam West | Poor form in five Flat runs and she's been tailed off in her only completed start over hurdles this year; now makes her handicap hurdle debut but she needs to show a lot more back up in trip. |
(11) All Blues | | | | | | 4 | James Best | Tom Gretton | Showed some ability on the Flat in Ireland but she's been well held in four hurdle runs for current yard, including a Fakenham handicap in February; 8lb out of the weights after another break and can only be watched. |
Most of these have plenty to prove but Jamie Snowden's JANWORTH has shown some promise in her three qualifying runs over 2m this year. This unexposed mare has plenty of stamina in her pedigree and is an interesting contender upped in trip on handicap debut. The main threat could come from Seasmoke, who ran well for a long way in a Ludlow handicap two weeks ago and has possibilities on her drop back to 2m3f. [David Moon]
Race 142: 19:41 Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight - All Horseshoe Indianapolis Races
4th (5) Wicked Beautiful | | | | | 4 | German Terraza | Tomas Medina | Placed once in 11 starts. Finished 9l behind Dan's Candi Girl when fourth of 7 at 20-1 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. This emphasis on stamina should suit. |
2nd (4) A Dollar A Day | | | | | 5 | Andres Calleja | James Butcher | Placed once in eight starts. Finished behind Neon Icon when fifth of 6 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 1m last month. These calmer waters should see her in a better light. |
3rd (7) Colormecairo | | | | | 3 | Axel Concepcion | William Morey | Half-sister to Lyracist, won six times between 1m and 1m 1f. Finished 6l behind Under Advisement when fifth of 11 at 10-1 on her racecourse debut at Turfway Park over 6f in March. This rise in distance could unlock significant potential. |
1st (6) Kara And Colleen | | | | | 4 | Jose Ortiz | Ignacio Correas | Placed in five of eight starts. Finished behind Neon Icon when fourth of 6 at 17-5 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 1m last month. She's one to take seriously on this drop in grade. |
(1) Lone Ridge | | | | | 3 | Fernando Cruz La De | Israel Acevedo | Half-sister to Mrs. Rembrandt, won five times at 1m. Finished 13l behind Outspoken when last of 4 at 15-2 on her racecourse debut at Mahoning Valley over 6f in February. Best watched. |
(2) Cause Ima Rose | | | | | 4 | Yarmarie Correa | Anthony Guida | Unplaced in all eight starts. Finished behind Windy Walk when sixth of 10 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 7f last month. Improvement will be needed. |
(3) Jus Evelyn | | | | | 4 | Jaime Torres | Michelle Lovell | Dam won twice at 5f and 1m. Beaten 3l by Custom Punch when second of 12 at 13-5fav on her racecourse debut at Fair Grounds over 5f (firm) in March. That experience should stand her in good stead. |
Having finished a respectable fifth on her debut over 6f at Turfway in March, COLORMECAIRO is bred to relish this rise in distance and a breakthrough victory could be in the offing. Kara And Colleen, Wicked Beautiful and A Dollar A Day are all threats at this level in what looks a tricky contest.
Race 143: 19:50 Thistledown Race 5 - Claiming - All Thistledown Races
4th (3) Uneedtocomehome | | | | | 4 | Noel Vigil | Richard Genovese | He has won four times at 6f. Finished 7l behind Stage Name when fifth of 7 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 6f last month. Back in more realistic company now, which may help his cause. |
3rd (1) Visual Mission | | | | | 10 | Angel Diaz | Nestor Rivera | Has won 13 races from 5f to 1m. Third of 7 behind Crypto Copy beaten at 16-5 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. Closely matched with runner-up Mutiny and it could be close between the pair again. |
2nd (4) Mcgraw | | | | | 5 | David Haldar | Megan Fadlovich | Winner of five races at 6f. A winner at 5-2 at Mahoning Valley over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating El Marro by 2 3/4l. Better opposition here but obviously at the top of his game. |
1st (5) Mutiny | | | | | 5 | Ferrin Peterson | Ricardo Bailey | Winner of six races from 5f to 6f. Beaten by Crypto Copy when second of 7 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 1m last month. Made the running that day and likely to prove far harder to catch over this trip. |
(2) Firsthand Justice | | | | | 8 | Joam Toledo | Ricardo Bailey | Has won nine races from 5f to 1m. A winner at 14-1 at Thistledown over 5f on his latest outing last month, beating Marvin's Express by a neck. He can take a while to get going and will need a clear run at the pacesetters. |
MUTINY and Visual Mission were separated by less than a length last time out, but the shorter trip may suit the Speightster gelding a lot more than his rival. Mcgraw won last time out and may have the edge over Uneedtocomehome in the race for third place.
Race 144: 19:50 Gowran Park Thank You To All Our Sponsors Apprentice Handicap IRE 1m - All Gowran Park Races
3rd (7) Miami Sunshine | | | | | | 3 | Jack Kearney | Adrian Murray | Decent 3rd behind a quality rival when last seen at Dundalk, making handicap debut over 1m; run well if as effective on soft turf. |
1st (3) Timeonourside | | | | | | 3 | Wesley Joyce | Leonard Paul Flynn | Some ability in maidens last year but was poor on return over 6f; this trip suits better but has questions to answer now. |
4th (4) Expecto | | | | | | 3 | Gabriella Hill | J S Bolger | Won a C&D nursery last year but was poor next time; didn't stay 1m4f on return but this is more suitable, so has to be considered. |
2nd (8) Pandion Power | | | | | | 3 | Jamie Powell | J P Murtagh | Soundly beaten in three handicap runs and has to find improvement even dropping in the weights. |
(1) Butter Fingers | | | | | | 3 | Sean Bird | Michael Mulvany | Three maiden runs; showed some ability on debut but below that twice since, including over 7f here last time; still of interest on handicap bow. |
(2) Special Angel | | | | | | 3 | Wayne Hassett | Adrian Murray | Consistent in defeat and ran well over 7f here last time, finishing fourth, 2.25l behind Dolce Far Niente; this trip should suit but could struggle to turn around that form on just 1lb better terms; player nonetheless. |
(5) Lough Lannagh | | | | | | 3 | Adam Caffrey | Kevin Thomas Coleman | A glimpse of ability in four maidens but beaten a long way at Cork last time; plenty of questions but the market can guide. |
(6) Romford | | | | | | 3 | Mr T R Costello | Muredach Kelly | Best run for former yard came over 6f in a Cork nursery last year but was poor over 7f here next time; go well if staying this trip; hood and tongue-tie added. |
(9) Dolce Far Niente | | | | | | 3 | Robert Whearty | Joseph G Murphy | Twice placed in nurseries last year and a similar run over 7f here on return, when 2.25l in front of Special Angel; a big player with improvement to come from that. |
(10) Maxwell Smart | | | | | | 3 | James Ryan | T G McCourt | Poor in a Dundalk handicap last time but these conditions might suit better (sire's progeny usually handle them), so not dismissed. |
(11) Flippity Flop | | | | | | 3 | Oisin McSweeney | Luke Comer | All runs on AW; showed ability on one of maiden starts but tailed-off in a handicap since and major questions to answer. |
(12) Nobody | | | | | | 3 | Paddy Harnett | Brendan Maurice Walsh | Well held in three maidens and will need to find improvement, even off this low mark dropping into handicap company. |
The key to this contest could be a 7f handicap here two weeks ago. DOLCE FAR NIENTE had Special Angel over 2l behind on that occasion and should confirm the form at this trip even on 1lb worse terms. Expecto is a C&D winner who didn't stay 1m4f last time and can leave that run far behind. [Tyrone Molloy]
2nd (2) Tiempo Perfecto | | | | | 4 | Matilda Burnham | William Hogan | A winner at 7f. Beaten by Midnight Cat when second of 8 at 45-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 7f in February. |
1st (1) Nuedorf | | | | | 3 | Luis Rivera | Hugo Padilla | Successful twice at 6f. Finished behind Rockin Freebee when fifth of 6 at 1-2fav on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 5f last month. |
3rd (5) Coles Conundrum | | | | | 4 | Francisco Martinez | Harold Wyner | Successful twice at 7f. Finished behind Secret Alliance when fifth of 9 at 14-5 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Robert E Reid Jr. |
(3) Long Legged Boy | | | | | 4 | Andy Hernandez | Eli Betancourt | Successful at 6f and 1m. Beaten behind Lucky Dude at 10-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. |
(4) Eddiemush | | | | | 4 | Adam Bowman | Patrick Ashton | Successful at 6f and 7f. Beaten behind Golden Wildcat at 15-1 when seventh of 12 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 7f last month. |
(6) Starship Gotham | | | | | 6 | Johariel Rodriguez | William Hogan | Successful at 7f and 1m. Finished 8l behind Kabod when sixth of 9 at 55-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f earlier this month. |
(7) Rate Confirmation | | | | | 4 | Mychel Sanchez | Jamie Ness | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten 14l behind Holiday House at 15-1 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in March. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Juan Cano in United States. |
TIEMPO PERFECTO filled the runner-up berth in this grade over 7f here in February and he can go one better. Long Legged Boy and Coles Conundrum can give him the most to think about.
Race 146: 20:00 San Isidro Race 5 - Allowance ARG 0m 5f 212y - All San Isidro Races
3rd (5) Kebara | | | | | 4 | Martin Javier Valle | Enrique Ferro | Not without a chance. |
1st (2) Love My Life | | | | | 4 | Gustavo Emiliano Calvente | Eduardo Siele | Likely to be on the premises. |
2nd (4) Diosa Stripes | | | | | 4 | Francisco Leandro Fernandes | Enrique Ferro | Expected to mount a serious challenge. |
4th (1) Princesa Candy | | | | | 4 | Cristian Ernesto Velazquez | Miguel Velazco | Warrants plenty of respect. |
(3) Astana | | | | | 4 | | Luciano Cerutti | Not out of it. |

Race 147: 20:00 Kempton Unibet Zero% Mission Fillies' Handicap (0-70) (5) 3yo+ GB 1m - All Kempton Races
7th (11) Guns And Flowers | | | | | | 3 | Luke Morris | Laura Mongan | Went the wrong way for Alice Haynes in handicaps, latterly in cheekpieces, before being picked up for 4,400gns in March; didn't look to see out this trip in one try and would be a surprise winner. |
10th (4) Dotties Moon | | | | | | 4 | Paddy Bradley | Pat Phelan | Well held at big prices in three runs (1m-1m2f) last autumn; yard has had all recent success with older horses, so possible she'll do better now handicapping at a lowly level, but would want to see some market interest. |
9th (1) Red Treasure | | | | | | 4 | Morgan Cole | Ed Dunlop | Win last year came fresh, so the three-month layoff looks in her favour if anything; lacks consistency and didn't run well in one previous try in headgear (visor) but she's capable off this mark if in the mood. |
6th (2) Granary Queen | | | | | | 6 | Charles Bishop | Eve Johnson Houghton | No problem with this trip in her younger days but tends to do her racing over shorter now, including when winning off this mark over 6f here in the winter; is consistent but she'll need to settle better upped from 7f. |
8th (3) Pearly Star | | | | | | 4 | George Wood | James Horton | Picked up from Hugo Palmer last autumn for 18,000gns following a busy first campaign; looked fine with 1m2f latterly and resumes from a break 2lb above her sole winning mark. |
3rd (7) Carpathian | | | | | | 3 | Daniel Muscutt | James Ferguson | Among the favourites behind 1,000 Guineas winner Elmalka on her final start last autumn; tonight's extra furlong should suit, back from a break, and she looks to start handicap life on a workable mark. |
4th (5) Dancingwithmyself | | | | | | 3 | Kevin Stott | Michael Bell | Slowly away and green on her 7f debut, when shaping nicely, and her subsequent win over this trip reads well enough (both Chelmsford); remains open to improvement back from seven months off. |
2nd (6) Tayala | | | | | | 3 | Saffie Osborne | Ed Walker | Trainer enjoying a good spring, Saffie Osborne doing particularly well for him, including on this filly over 7f here three weeks ago; there can't be any complaints about a 2lb rise and the return to 1m should be fine. |
1st (10) Midnight Drive | | | | | | 3 | John Fahy | Clive Cox | Improved on her three 7f novice efforts when narrowly off the mark over C&D three weeks ago; still showed signs of inexperience there and a 2lb rise seems fair, so she goes on the shortlist. |
5th (8) Salamanca City | | | | | | 3 | James Doyle | James Fanshawe | Eyecatcher on her debut here last autumn and there was nothing wrong with her C&D comeback five weeks ago; likely she has improvement in her now handicapping. |
(9) Mamora Bay | | | | | | 3 | William Cox | Roger Teal | Big prices and never a factor in three runs last year, latterly over C&D; needs to have improved for the absence and is some way down the pecking order. |
Tayala and Midnight Drive each showed the right attitude to win narrowly on their handicap debuts here three weeks ago and a 2lb rise looks fair in both cases, but there are a few potential improvers lurking. Carpathian and Salamanca City both fit that bill, as does DANCINGWITHMYSELF, who won well at Chelmsford when last seen.[Graham Wheldon]
Race 148: 20:10 Fontwell starsportsbet.co.uk Mares' Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle (Div II) (0-95) (5) 4yo+ GB 2m 3f 29y - All Fontwell Races
3rd (9) Den The Diva | | | | | | 5 | James Best | Andy Irvine | Her saddle slipped in January but she's been pulled up again at big prices in both subsequent runs and is now 0-8; can only be watched |
2nd (10) Trickalight | | | | | | 8 | Chris Ward | Deborah Cole | Irish point winner who is 0-11 under rules, but she kept on well from off the pace and was only beaten around 5l here (2m1f, good) on her return last month; should benefit from that run and she's not ruled out back up in trip; hood removed. |
1st (7) Al Sayah | | | | | | 4 | Brendan Powell | Neil Mulholland | 0-6 on the Flat and well held in three hurdles runs since October, but it's still early days in this sphere and she's a possible improver upped in trip on handicap hurdle debut; one to keep an eye on in the market. |
(1) Lady Caro | | | | | | 6 | Joe Anderson | Emma Lavelle | 0-7 but was a well-backed favourite on handicap debut here (2m1f, good) last month and she gave it a good shot from the front before finishing runner-up behind a stablemate who went off at 11-4; open to more progress in handicaps and this new trip should be within range on pedigree; key player. |
(2) Charmian's Place | | | | | | 6 | Paul O'Brien | Neil King | Showed clear promise in bumpers but she's been well held in her completed starts over hurdles, including when a 21l third on handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month; had wind surgery since but she needs improvement after a short break. |
(3) Delightful Guest | | | | | | 11 | Mr Phillip York | Phil York | Lightly raced 11yo; failed to complete in two of her three points last spring and was pulled up back over hurdles at Southwell last July; rules record now stands at 0-7 and she has a lot to prove after 295 days off. |
(4) Selkirk Grace | | | | | | 5 | David Bass | Hughie Morrison | Eight-race maiden who was pulled up at Hereford last time but she looks interesting on her close call in a Taunton handicap (2m, soft) in January; has claims if she can bounce back after wind surgery and yard is in decent form; cheekpieces added. |
(5) Newmill Getaway | | | | | | 5 | Connor Brace | David Brace | Bumper winner at Worcester (2m, good) in September but she's not progressed over hurdles and has been beaten 25l or more in her last four runs (2m3f-2m6f); now returns to a handicap but she needs to raise her game. |
(6) Far Away West | | | | | | 5 | Harry Reed | Daisy Hitchins | Lightly raced 5yo but she's not shown much so far, including at big prices in three hurdle runs this spring; now goes handicapping off a lowly mark but she needs a transformation. |
(8) Lady Salvador | | | | | | 8 | Gavin Sheehan | Jim & Suzi Best | Very lightly raced 8yo; beaten 39l or more in her first three runs but she looked a different proposition on handicap debut when a close second over C&D (heavy; 4-1) in November; returns after another break but she's open to more progress and is an interesting contender. |
Lady Salvador started her handicap career with a close second over C&D in November and is respected on her return, but preference is for Emma Lavelle's LADY CARO. She was 13-8 favourite on her handicap debut here last month and gave it a good shot from the front before finishing runner-up behind her main market rival. The other one on the shortlist is Selkirk Grace, who went close at Taunton in January and has claims if she can recapture that form after wind surgery.[David Moon]
4th (4) Binge | | | | | 6 | German Terraza | Joseph Davis | Successful at 5f and 6f. Third of 9 behind Luckies Joy beaten at 13-1 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Not out of it. |
2nd (5) Spotonjustice | | | | | 4 | Andres Ulloa | Anthony Granitz | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Beaten behind Luckies Joy at 11-5 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. It would be no surprise to see him feature. |
1st (7) Good Forever | | | | | 4 | Marcelino Jr Pedroza | Genaro Garcia | Successful at 5f and 6f. Beaten by Luckies Joy when second of 9 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Could land a blow. |
3rd (2) Caboose | | | | | 4 | Andres Calleja | Denis Cluley | Successful at 5f and 6f. Third of 9 behind Goodlookinjustice beaten 7l at 22-1 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Could make his presence felt. |
(1) Killer Hotrod | | | | | 5 | Eduardo Perez | Robert Gorham | Successful twice at 1m. Finished behind Luckies Joy when fifth of 9 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Warrants plenty of respect. |
(3) Backyard Justice | | | | | 4 | Fernando Cruz La De | Anthony Granitz | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 9l behind Doubledogjustice when fourth of 12 at 40-1 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1m in October last year. Should go well. |
(6) Jenny's Beignet | | | | | 4 | Summer Pauly | George Leonard, III | A winner at 6f. Beaten 18l behind Luckies Joy at 16-1 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 6f in November last year. Others appeal more. |
CABOOSE has hit the frame in similar contests over an extended 5f the last twice and he can be rewarded on this occasion. Spotonjustice and Killer Hotrod are also worthy of consideration.
Race 150: 20:20 Thistledown Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight - All Thistledown Races
4th (3) Quickstyle | | | | | 4 | Luis Batista | Khadeem Galloway | Placed in four of 13 starts. Beaten by Few Regrets when second of 7 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 1m last month. Will need others to falter. |
2nd (4) Flattering Heart | | | | | 3 | Fernando Becerra Salazar | Johanna Urieta | Placed twice in three starts. Third of 9 behind Sacred Connection beaten 3/4l at 15-4 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in December last year. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Eddie Kenneally. Dangerous to underestimate. |
3rd (2) Cry If I Want To | | | | | 3 | Luis Gonzalez | Kim Puhl | Placed once in eight starts. Beaten 17l behind Church Service at 35-1 when seventh of 10 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Warrants a close look. |
1st (6) Torrey Street | | | | | 3 | Ferrin Peterson | Nestor Rivera | Placed once in four starts. Beaten 8l by The Big Calhouna when second of 9 at 6-4fav on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Kenneth McPeek. Another bold showing is likely. |
(1) Remembering | | | | | 3 | Rocco Bowen | Timothy Hamm | Placed twice in six starts. Beaten by Islandinthestream when second of 6 at 1-5fav on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 1m in February. A must for consideration. |
(5) Bulls N Berry | | | | | 6 | Renzo Diaz | Lori Smith | Placed twice in four starts. Beaten by Qadira when second of 7 at 28-1 on her latest outing at Thistledown over 6f last month. Might be best just watched in this company. |
REMEMBERING is readily suggested as the one to be with here, although improved efforts from Cry If I Want To and Torrey Street will see the selection pushed all the way to the wire.
Race 151: 20:20 Gowran Park Save 33% Buying Tickets Online Handicap IRE 1m - All Gowran Park Races
2nd (3) Kodiac Prince | | | | | | 7 | Wesley Joyce | Thomas Cleary | Five-time winner; went up 13lb for wins here and at the Curragh last June and lost his way completely after that; back down to a reasonable mark now but not much encouragement from his seasonal debut at Leopardstown. |
4th (10) The Bog Bank | | | | | | 7 | James Ryan | T G McCourt | Heavily raced mare, four wins and 17 places from 63 outings; needs to step on recent Dundalk form, though she was placed in three consecutive starts at the AW venue last October/November having been generally reliable during the spring and summer. |
3rd (16) Tall Story | | | | | | 6 | J M Sheridan | Ross O'Sullivan | Now a 34-race maiden, placed eight times but hard to have much confidence in him, since he has been no closer than tenth in three starts this season; has slumped in the rating since 2021 when he had good form including a C&D second in a maiden. |
5th (2) Barnhill Rose | | | | | | 6 | Daniel King | Denis Gerard Hogan | Best form on good ground; ran creditably when fifth of 16 on yielding here two weeks ago; any improvement in ground conditions would be a help. |
1st (11) Play It Again Zaam | | | | | | 4 | Robert Whearty | Conor David Maxwell | Is 0-19 on Flat but not a lost cause judged on recent handicap displays here and at Naas; just in front of Designer Cailin on the more recent occasion, closely matched with Barnhill Rose on 7f running at this venue. |
(1) Stormy Jenn | | | | | | 7 | Colin Keane | P Cluskey | Only two wins in a 30-race Flat career but both have come at this venue; worth considering now after recent Naas second on her seasonal debut; has an edge over Captured. |
(4) Tomahawk King | | | | | | 4 | Shane Foley | Michael Patrick Fenton | AW winner when trained in UK; stepped up from a couple of Dundalk runs when a staying-on sixth in a 1m handicap at Naas nine days ago; that was encouraging but he needs to turn the tables on Play It Again Zaam (third) and Designer Cailin (fourth). |
(5) Easy Way | | | | | | 4 | Chris Hayes | Luke Comer | Showed a degree of promise on AW, mid-field at the Curragh in first turf handicap; plenty of improvement required. |
(6) Hastily | | | | | | 5 | Rory Mulligan | Tom McGuinness | Both wins and all her best form has come on sound surfaces; towards rear at Naas last week in race in which Captured finished fourth. |
(7) Skontonovski | | | | | | 7 | Cian MacRedmond | Adrian McGuinness | Six of eight wins have been on AW; heavy ground against him on recent turf appearances; never threatened at Naas nine days ago and well held by Stormy Jenn and Captured on that evidence. |
(8) Hopkins | | | | | | 5 | Ronan Whelan | Timothy Doyle | Started her career in bumpers, remote fourth at Tramore on the middle of three starts; maiden form over longer trips does not inspire confidence. |
(9) Charli Sands | | | | | | 4 | Ben Coen | Yvonne Latta | Was 66-1 when down the field on handicap debut at Naas, well held by Play It Again Zaam, Designer Cailin and Tomahawk King, |
(12) Fleadhfest | | | | | | 4 | Declan McDonogh | J S Bolger | Never better than sixth in six handicap appearances; hard to make a case for her, even though she has come down 20lb from her initial handicap rating. |
(13) Monnow Valley | | | | | | 4 | Adam Caffrey | P Cluskey | Placed in handicaps at Tipperary and Killarney early last season; subsequent form left a lot to be desired; new recruit for trainer who has a strong contender here in Stormy Jenn. |
(14) Captured | | | | | | 7 | Leigh Roche | Luke Comer | Big price in two handicaps this term but has run with plenty of credit on both occasions; has a bit to find with Stormy Jenn on Naas running. |
(15) Designer Cailin | | | | | | 6 | Wayne Lordan | Patrick Martin | Both wins on AW; 0-22 on turf but ran a fine race when fourth of 21 at Naas nine days ago; closely matched with Play It Again Zaam on that running. |
(17) Tasmanian Girl | | | | | | 4 | Siobhan Rutledge | Aengus King | Has been struggling in juvenile hurdles; some merit in her Flat form, notably fourth placings in big-field handicaps at Cork and Navan last autumn; first reserve. |
(18) Lisamaria | | | | | | 5 | | Paul W Flynn | Maiden placed four times in a 19-race career; has run a couple of her best races at this venue; second reserve. |
(19) He's Justagent | | | | | | 4 | | Ms Sheila Lavery | Nothing of note in maidens, 33-1 towards the rear on stable/handicap debut at Leopardstown; third reserve. |
C&D winner BARNHILL ROSE(nap) gets the vote having made a pleasing start to the season when fifth over 7f here a fortnight ago. She is taken to reverse form with fourth-placed Play It Again Zaam, a maiden who confirmed winning potential at this level when third at Naas, just in front of Designer Cailin. Stormy Jenn has gained both wins at this track and has a definite chance following a Naas second. [Alan Sweetman]
1st (8) Fast Bob | | | | | 6 | Angel Castillo | Richard Vega | Winner of seven races from 6f to 1m. Beaten 19l behind Word On A Wing at 16-1 when 10th of 11 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f in January. |
2nd (7) My Devils Child | | | | | 7 | Dexter Haddock | J Guerrero | Has won eight races from 5f to 1m. Finished 4 1/2l behind He's Incredible when fourth of 9 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f (good) last month. |

Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jamie Ness in United States. |
(4) Smart And Fast | | | | | 4 | Francisco Martinez | Mary Pattershall | He has won three times from 5f to 7f. Beaten 12l behind He's Incredible at 13-1 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Carlos Caban. |
(5) Big John | | | | | 4 | Andy Hernandez | Daniel Velazquez | He has won three times from 5f to 7f. Beaten 9l behind Victim Of The Nite at 11-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. |
SOUPER FLY OVER successfully completed a double when going in by just over two lengths last time and he can round out the hat-trick. Baafeed and My Devils Child might follow him home.

Race 154: 20:30 Kempton Try Unibet's Improved Bet Builder Handicap (0-65) (6) 3yo GB 6f - All Kempton Races
3rd (2) Bint Havana Gold | | | | | | 3 | Ethan Jones | Richard Hughes | Has progressed nicely in handicaps this year but is now 10lb higher than when going in over C&D in January; pulled hard from a wide stall last time (Tapeta) to show she's still competitive off this mark though. |
1st (7) Tennessee Gold | | | | | | 3 | Daniel Muscutt | Joseph Parr | Late foal who went for 75,000gns and who needed the experience in three runs last backend, pulling hard a couple of times; has since been gelded and is well worth tracking in the market, despite his wide draw. |
2nd (6) Horse Whisperer | | | | | | 3 | Silvestre De Sousa | Chris Dwyer | Yard enjoying a good spell and this exposed filly won well at Wolverhampton early last month; was allowed her own way in a small field there, though, and will need more off a 6lb higher mark. |
(1) Dark Dreamer | | | | | | 3 | Jack Mitchell | Robert Cowell | Heavily supported when clear with one other on his comeback/handicap debut off 5lb lower over C&D a month ago (Bated Breeze third); backed that up on soft ground last week and his claims are obvious returned to Polytrack. |
(3) Rusheen Boy | | | | | | 3 | Dylan Hogan | Julia Feilden | Two wins at Southwell late last year for the hood/tongue-tie going on before finding his revised mark beyond him latterly; is another 2lb higher, back from a break on his Polytrack debut, and needs to find more again. |
(4) She Is A Keeper | | | | | | 3 | Luke Morris | Gay Kelleway | C&D nursery winner off 2lb lower in first-time blinkers last autumn; inclined to hang left on her Lingfield comeback and was well below market expectations on turf latest, which leaves her with something to prove. |
(5) Cuban Harry | | | | | | 3 | Billy Loughnane | Ed Dunlop | Pulled hard a few times last year and the old habit was back at Yarmouth latest; somewhat risky but this mark is within range if more amenable and maybe the drop from 7f in a bigger field will do the trick. |
(8) Bated Breeze | | | | | | 3 | Tom Queally | Gary & Josh Moore | Free-going gelding who shaped nicely on his C&D comeback behind Dark Dreamer and is 7lb better off tonight; a subsequent below-par effort on turf will need forgiving, however. |
(9) Lady In Havana | | | | | | 3 | Laura Pearson | David Loughnane | Dual Southwell winner in the winter, latterly off a 2lb lower mark; has done her recent racing over 7f; is fully exposed now and some way down the pecking order. |
(10) Bestie | | | | | | 3 | George Wood | Adrian Paul Keatley | No problem with 7f a couple of times since handicapping, latterly from the front on soft turf; will do well to lead again from stall 11, down in trip round here, and is looking exposed now anyway. |
(11) Willowbank | | | | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Charlie Fellowes | First signs of life when second at a big price on her C&D nursery debut last autumn; is 2lb higher back from seven months off and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market. |
It's hard to rule many out but then again it's tough to get away from DARK DREAMER, who looked a touch unlucky on soft ground last week and returns to the scene of his comeback win. Cuban Harry is up to winning at this level when he settles better, while Tennessee Gold, who's yet to turn three, is likely capable of better now handicapping.[Graham Wheldon]
4th (6) Anjaway | | | | | 6 | Albin Jimenez | Randy Klopp | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 12l behind Starlet Express when fourth of 10 at 17-4 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f in October last year. Could get involved. |
3rd (1) Berea | | | | | 5 | Summer Pauly | Randy Klopp | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 3l behind Skys Image when fifth of 7 at 7-5fav on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 6f in November last year. Others look stronger. |
2nd (5) Allabouttheimage | | | | | 4 | Rodney Prescott | Shannon McGovern | Successful twice at 5f. A winner at 20-1 at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f on her latest outing last month, beating Long Days by 3/4l. Easier to side with others. |
1st (3) Tu Cha | | | | | 5 | Orlando Mojica | Louie Roussel | Successful twice at 5f. Third of 8 behind Juradicial beaten 5l at 17-4 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Likely to be on the premises. |
(2) Goody Four Shoes | | | | | 6 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Tianna Richardville | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten 13l behind Juradicial at 45-1 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Unlikely to trouble her rivals. |
(4) Breakup With Titos | | | | | 7 | Santo Sanjur | Tianna Richardville | Successful at 5f and 6f. Beaten 9l behind Skys Image at 14-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 6f in November last year. Unlikely to be good enough. |
(7) Shanghai Express | | | | | 4 | Evin Roman | John Haran | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 6l behind Juradicial when fourth of 8 at 16-5 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Will be hard to keep out of the finish. |
TU CHA (third) had Shanghai Express (fourth) behind over an extended 5f here last month and she can confirm that form to record her third career victory. Anjaway completes the shortlist.

2nd (5) Hartstein | | | | | 4 | Fernando Becerra Salazar | Jose Atala | Successful at 6f and 1m. Finished 2 1/2l behind May Mayhem when fifth of seven at 12-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 5f last month. A minor role awaits. |
3rd (7) Flag Raiser | | | | | 4 | Erik Barbaran | Robert Gorham | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 16l behind Prosecutor when fourth of six at 13-2 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in March. Others arrive in better heart. |
4th (1) Color Bearer | | | | | 4 | Gaddiel Martinez | Jeffrey Skerrett | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten a head by May Mayhem when second of seven at 15-1 on his latest outing at Thistledown over 5f last month. Holds strong claims. |
1st (6) Eagle Nest | | | | | 4 | Ferrin Peterson | Richard Zielinski | Successful twice at 6f. Third of seven behind May Mayhem beaten a neck at 6-4fav on his latest outing at Thistledown over 5f last month. One to be interested in. |
(2) Orville B | | | | | 4 | Chelsey Keiser | Deborah Keiser | Successful twice at 6f. Well beaten at 15-1 behind Prosecutor when last of six on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in March. Has a bit to find. |
(3) Rivers Of Deniro | | | | | 3 | Noel Vigil | Rodney Faulkner | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 18l behind Prosecutor when fifth of six at 20-1 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in March. One to avoid. |
(4) One Step Aside | | | | | 3 | Victor Fernandez | Jason Dacosta | Successful twice at 6f. A winner at 6-1 at Mahoning Valley over 6f on his latest outing in March, beating Run Red Run by 1/2l. Can go in again. |
A comfortable winner over this distance last time out, ONE STEP ASIDE should have plenty more to come and he gets the vote ahead of Color Bearer and Eagle Nest.

(3) Warrior's Vow | | | | | 4 | Dexter Haddock | Juan Guerrero | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten 1 1/4l by North Pole when second of 7 at 17-5 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. |
(4) Booster Shot | | | | | 4 | Silvestre Gonzalez | Robert Mosco | Successful at 7f and 1m. A winner at 4-1 at Philadelphia Park over 7f on his latest outing last month, beating Ira The Icon. |
RESPIRATOR recorded a good speed figure when victorious by over four lengths on his latest outing and he could prove very hard to beat. Warrior's Vow and Bobby's Candy head the dangers.

1st (5) Pepperoni Key | | | | | 6 | Osvaldo Adrian Alderete | Eduardo Accosano | Can figure strongly and warrants close inspection. |
3rd (3) Bailar Con La Masfe | | | | | 6 | Brian Rodrigo Enrique | Justo Benitez | Others appeal more. |

Race 159: 21:00 Kempton Unibet More Boosts In More Races Handicap (0-65) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m 3f 219y - All Kempton Races
(9) Campese | | | | | | 5 | Billy Loughnane | Richenda Ford | Was running over further when last seen for the Johnston yard more than 18 months ago; sold for 16,000gns since; new trainer is 0-29 with Flat runners in recent seasons; can't be considered unless there's good money around. |
(2) Bluenose Belle | | | | | | 6 | Saffie Osborne | Richard Phillips | Not seen since eased and tailed off on soft ground a year ago; had enjoyed a good spell round here previously but is entitled to need this after such a layoff; market useful. |
(5) Master Grey | | | | | | 9 | Oliver Searle | Rod Millman | Stays further than this and has generally tended to come on plenty for his first run back; he's not easily recommended over this trip after the best part of a year off aged nine. |
(13) Imperial Cult | | | | | | 5 | Gina Mangan | Rachel Cook & John Bridger | Maiden who's been turned over at 9-2 or shorter on five of his last seven runs; was said to have been unsuited by Bath when well beaten last time, but this trip is a minimum now; wears first-time cheekpieces (has worn a hood once before). |
(14) Alghazaal | | | | | | 7 | Robert Havlin | Mark Usher | Infrequent winner who had plenty of chances during the winter and returns from three months off; several make greater appeal. |
(10) Manor Park | | | | | | 9 | Trevor Whelan | Daisy Hitchins | Best known as a hurdler; pulled hard for his new yard, back from a layoff, at Taunton in March and it's hard to know what he's capable of now. |
(6) Sea Of Charm | | | | | | 6 | William Cox | Georgina Nicholls | Hard to win with, her Wolverhampton victory off this mark coming in a first-time visor (goes back to cheekpieces tonight); is adaptable regarding trip but others are stronger. |
(11) Manila Mist | | | | | | 4 | Luke Morris | Karen Jewell | Showing more at Chelmsford lately but has often been inclined to pull hard and will want to settle upped from 1m2f; trainer just 1-70 with Flat runners in recent seasons. |
2nd (3) Golden Dove | | | | | | 6 | Darragh Keenan | Simon Earle | C&D winner off this mark last spring; shaped nicely on her return from ten months off a month ago, despite missing the kick and pulling hard over an inadequate 1m2f; is one to consider. |
4th (8) Night Bear | | | | | | 7 | Neil Callan | Tony Carroll | Has found his level again, having missed a chunk of last year, but again might have been better drawn for one happiest on the sharp end; holds each-way claims. |
3rd (1) Grigio | | | | | | 4 | Jack Mitchell | Simon Pearce | C&D winner off 2lb lower in February (weak handicap), despite hanging left; again edged that way when beaten on Tapeta last time; should be happier back here but this is tougher. |
(12) Federated | | | | | | 4 | Paddy Bradley | John Butler | Done for pace throughout on his 7f handicap debut but came in for support upped to 1m2f last time (it was likely to suit on pedigree) when coming away with a subsequent winner; has every chance of following up off a 3lb higher mark. |
1st (4) Damascus Steel | | | | | | 4 | Silvestre De Sousa | Ed Dunlop | Dual turf winner last year before ending the season on a downswing; has run poorly in two starts this spring too, which leaves him with it to prove on his Polytrack debut. |
(7) Fictional | | | | | | 4 | David Probert | Richard Hughes | Short price for his handicap debut at Chelmsford a fortnight ago, when upped from 1m to 1m5f, only to pull hard; is evidently felt capable of better and hopefully the first-time hood/bigger field will help him settle; yard is having a good spring. |
Golden Dove, a C&D winner off this mark last spring, shaped well back from a long break a month ago and is respected, but the pair with fewest miles on the clock, Fictional and FEDERATED (nap), are particularly interesting. Fictional was strong in the market ahead of his recent handicap debut and tonight's slight drop in trip, bigger field and first-time hood should help him settle better, but Federated was inclined to idle before going again to beat a subsequent winner at Newcastle and he gets the nod.[Graham Wheldon]
4th (8) Catty Cruise | | | | | 3 | Fernando Cruz La De | S Cunningham | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Beaten 8l behind Wreaking Havoc at 33-1 when ninth of 11 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Thomas Vance. Likely to struggle. |
2nd (3) Stupendous | | | | | 5 | Andres Calleja | Donna Riley | A winner at 1m on the all-weather. Finished 4 1/2l behind Ana when fourth of 11 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in March. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
3rd (10) Lily's Home | | | | | 4 | Abel Cedillo | Michelle Elliott | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 11l behind Perfect Smokey Eye when fifth of eight at 17-5 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. One to be interested in. |
1st (9) Run Run Rabbit | | | | | 3 | Alex Achard | Kevin Fletcher | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 14l behind Outofnothingatall when fifth of nine at 30-1 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 7f last month. The one to be with. |
(1) Split Decision | | | | | 5 | Santo Sanjur | Michael Ewing | A winner at 1m. Finished 9l behind English Charm when sixth of 10 at 17-2 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in March. Could be in the mix. |
(2) Eastern Sunrise | | | | | 3 | Sophie Doyle | Christophe Davis | A winner at 1m on the all-weather. Third of five behind Save The Bees beaten at 9-2 on her latest outing at Belterra Park over 1m last month. Has a bit to find. |
(4) Two Hearted | | | | | 3 | Eduardo Perez | Felipe Salas | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 11l behind Perfect Smokey Eye when fourth of eight at 5-1 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Difficult to recommend. |
(5) Lucky Lesson | | | | | 3 | Joseph Bealmear | Jimmy Corrigan | A winner at 7f on good ground. Beaten 13l behind Jenny Lind at 45-1 when seventh of nine on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in March. One to note. |
(6) Oh Pollyanna | | | | | 4 | Jane Elliott | Richard Estvanko | A winner at 1m on good ground. Finished 6l behind Ana when fifth of 11 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in March. Holds strong claims. |
(7) Honeytown | | | | | 5 | German Terraza | Susan Anderson | A winner at 7-4 at Turfway Park over 1m on her latest outing in March, beating Beautiful Mandate by 9l. This is more demanding. |
(11) Noshugforpop | | | | | 3 | Luan Machado | Ben Colebrook | A winner at 1m on the all-weather. Well beaten at 13-2 behind Play Good Pay Good when last of seven on her latest outing at Keeneland over 7f last month. Reserve. |
(12) Dee Dee B | | | | | 4 | Rodney Prescott | Eric Reed | A winner at 1m on firm ground. Finished 1 1/4l behind dead-heaters Tequila Empire and Economic Hangover when fourth of nine at 12-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in March. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Jamie Grubbs. Reserve. |
(13) Isa Lei | | | | | 3 | Jane Elliott | Richard Estvanko | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Third of eight behind Perfect Smokey Eye beaten 9l at 7-2 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Reserve. |
RUN RUN RABBIT has shown enough in recent starts to suggest that she can get off the mark at the 10th time of asking. Her chief threats look to be Lily's Home and Oh Pollyanna.

CENTER MID MADDIE hit the woodwork in a tougher contest than this over 6f here last time and that looks the best form on offer. Fatih and Powerfully Built could also get involved.

3rd (1) Wings Of Heaven | | | | | 3 | Noel Vigil | Richard Genovese | Placed once in five starts. Finished 15l behind Amy's Star when fifth of 9 at 15-1 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in February. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Andrew Tumblin. Others appear to hold more pressing claims. |

Beaten 2 3/4l by Zashixiarayan when second of 7 at 13-5 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in February. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Jacinto Lopez. Likely to be front and centre at the business end. |
(3) Gemshine | | | | | 4 | Jose Bracho | Johanna Urieta | Placed once in two starts. Finished behind Vamonos Piacente when fifth of 6 at 13-10fav on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f (good) in December last year. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Open to improvement and warrants a betting check. |
(4) Something Lucky | | | | | 3 | Ferrin Peterson | Mark Doering | Yet to place in six starts. Finished 14l behind Kissing Medals when sixth of 7 at 33-1 on her latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f last month. Makes limited appeal. |
A P'S RUNAWAY DIVA posted her best effort yet when second at Mahoning Valley in February. Likely to be even wiser, she is taken to cement her authority over Lightening Lottie, who failed to land a blow in seventh that day but has, admittedly, improved since. Gemshine has enough potential to also warrant consideration.

2nd (2) Indian Creed | | | | | 3 | Martin Garcia | Michael Maker | Placed once in two starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind Out Work'm when fourth of 12 at 1-2fav on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Could make the frame. |
4th (10) Little Jake | | | | | 3 | Fernando Cruz La De | Tim Eggleston | Half-brother to Alliterative, won twice at 7f and 1m. Beaten 3/4l by Moped Mo when second of 10 at 18-5 on his racecourse debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Can go one better. |
(3) Thiscatsabullet | | | | | 3 | Yarmarie Correa | Michelle Elliott | Half-brother to Fergie's Lady, won at 1m. Beaten 10l behind Out Work'm at 18-1 when ninth of 12 on his racecourse debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time, which will need to have an effect. |
(5) Tizawhitefacecat | | | | | 3 | Andres Calleja | Denis Cluley | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 7l behind Moped Mo when sixth of 10 at 25-1 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Difficult to recommend. |
(6) Chocolate Moose | | | | | 3 | Evin Roman | Randy Klopp | Dam won eight times at 6f and 1m. Third of 10 behind Moped Mo beaten 5l at 16-1 on his racecourse debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. A leading contender. |
(7) Fancy Streak | | | | | 3 | Marcelino Jr Pedroza | Genaro Garcia | Half-brother to Lexi Sun, won twice at 5f. Beaten 13l behind Texas Free at 8-1 when seventh of eight on his racecourse debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f last month. Unlikely to figure. |

LITTLE JAKE had Chocolate Moose (third) behind when runner-up here last time out, and he can go one better on the step up in trip. Indian Creed is entitled to be thereabouts as well.
1st (3) Midnight Cat | | | | | 4 | Jeremy Laprida | Felix Coba | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Beaten by Large when second of 8 at 12-5 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 7f last month. |

Finished 4 1/2l behind Olympic Romp when fifth of 7 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m 1f in March. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Juan Guerrero in United States. |

MIDNIGHT CAT bounced back to form when finishing second in this grade over 7f here and he should have no issues with this step back up in trip to go one better. Roman Empire and Dad's On A Roll are others to note.

(4) Emalvi | | | | | 4 | Cristian Ernesto Velazquez | Luciano Cerutti | Has faced stiffer tests than the one she is tasked with here and could be worth chancing at this level. |

4th (4) Tiznow Tom | | | | | 3 | V Hernandez | Donald Melancon | Unplaced in all three starts. Well beaten at 60-1 behind Takeover Fiftyfour when last of 10 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m (good) in March. One to avoid. |
2nd (2) Renati | | | | | 5 | Sergio Munoz | Steven Duke | Placed once in 17 starts. Finished 5l behind Red Idol when fifth of 12 at 25-1 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m in March. Respected. |

BOLIE clearly sets the standard based on his third at Fair Grounds last time, while Renati and Dee's Legs are the pick of the remainder.
Race 168: 22:16 Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight - All Horseshoe Indianapolis Races
5th (1) Shotgun Runner | | | | | 3 | Rodney Prescott | David Rider | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 16l behind Barksdale at 11-1 when seventh of nine on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1m in October last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jordan Blair. Likely to struggle. |
1st (3) East From West | | | | | 3 | Santo Sanjur | Genaro Garcia | Placed twice in six starts. Well beaten at 50-1 behind Sir Greylind when seventh of nine on his latest outing at Keeneland over 7f last month. Opposable. |

4th (12) Tin Top Road | | | | | 3 | Keith Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | Dam won three times at 1m and 1m 1f including two Grade 3 races. A newcomer to note. |
2nd (7) Hot Wings | | | | | 3 | Jose Ortiz | Ignacio Correas | Placed once in four starts. Finished 8l behind Quincy Rider when fourth of 11 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in February. Likely to figure. |

(5) Transcendental | | | | | 3 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Jonathan Thomas | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 4l behind Gold Foot when fourth of nine at 7-5fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) in March. The one to side with. |
(6) Anqa | | | | | 3 | Abel Cedillo | Eoin Harty | Dam won at 6f. Finished 7l behind Best Kiss Yet when fifth of 12 at 11-1 on her racecourse debut at Turfway Park over 6f in March. Not fancied. |

(14) American Memories | | | | | 3 | Axel Concepcion | Michael Pino | Placed once in two starts. Finished 10l behind Army Officer when fifth of eight at 7-1 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in March. Reserve. |
This represents a drop in grade for TRANSCENDENTAL and he can strike at the fourth time of asking. That may be at the main expense of Hot Wings and newcomer Tin Top Road.

Race 170: 22:30 Louisiana Downs Race 2 - Maiden Claiming - All Louisiana Downs Races
1st (4) Foreign Tourist | | | | | 3 | Jairo Rodriguez | Patrick Mouton | Unplaced in all four starts. Well beaten at 125-1 behind Pink Lady Lu Sha when last of 10 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f in March. May find a few too good. |

(6) La Lombriz | | | | | 4 | Joel Dominguez | Erick Del | Dam unraced. A newcomer to note. |
LA LOMBRIZ lacks race experience but has shown plenty of promise in the mornings and this appears to be a weak maiden to be making her debut in. Domina edges out Rusty's Sunrise to be best of the rest.

(3) Bells Are Ringing | | | | | 3 | Jean Alvelo | Demelza McMahon | Dam won five times at 6f. A newcomer to note. |
This looks like an ideal opportunity for EASTER BET to get off the mark following some creditable efforts in defeat to begin his career. Donegal Danny and newcomer Bells Are Ringing can follow him home.

Finished 2 1/4l behind Tic Tic Tic Boom when fourth of nine at 39-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m 2f in March. Warrants serious consideration. |

A winner at 4-1 at Turfway Park over 1m on her latest outing in March, beating Caribbean Night by 8l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Jamie Grubbs. Another good run can be expected. |
(10) Wildcatjustice | | | | | 4 | Fernando Cruz La De | Anthony Granitz | She has won three times from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 7l behind Itzforever when fourth of 12 at 12-1 on her latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1m in October last year. Easier to side with others. |

Wise Anchor and Pinch Me A Penny merit plenty of respect but marginal preference is for REVERENT, who was a narrow second over 6f at Fair Grounds last time.

DR. STEVE has been in excellent form of late and a second win in three starts could be in the offing for the son of Jump Start. Classic Union and Ron Don Scorese need considering as well.

(7) Vf Axle Foley | | | | | 3 | Fernando Morin | J Arevalo | Beaten 9l behind Hqh Hickory at 8-1 when last of 7 on his racecourse debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1f in June last year. It's hard to make a case for him. |
(8) Checo Perez Tlc | | | | | 3 | Giovani Vazquez Gomez | Jessica Vazquez | Unplaced in both starts. Finished behind Ivorybudsnblossoms when fourth of 8 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Sweetwater Downs over 2f in August last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Sergio Canales. A leading contender if resuming in the same order. |
(10) Sizzling Lee | | | | | 3 | Rolando Pina | Librado Barraza | Yet to place in eight starts. Beaten 8l behind Aprollific Jess at 28-1 when last of 10 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1f last month. Defeats in 2024 don't inspire much confidence. |
(11) Last Game Lady | | | | | 3 | Martin Munoz | Librado Barraza | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Reserve. |
(12) Klt Highdollarhoney | | | | | 4 | Leonel Bolanos | Hector Sanchez | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 1 1/4l behind Jj First Down Dash when fourth of 6 at 30-1 on her latest outing at Louisiana Downs over in February. Reserve. |
CHECO PEREZ TLC and Constitutionalist both arrive on the back of narrow defeats, with the former's runner-up effort rating a touch stronger. Jess Knew shouldn't be far behind the duo.

Beaten 11l behind Summer Lightning at 35-1 when last of 8 on her latest outing at Evangeline Downs over 6f in July last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Edward Cox.

Finished 4 1/2l behind Mean American when fourth of 12 at 18-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m in March. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Edith Mojica.

REALITOS is more than capable at this level on her day and she looks well placed to record her fourth career success. Calaja and Emmas Ruler are also worthy of consideration.

REBEL RULER has been knocking on the door of late and this looks like a good opportunity to regain the winning thread. Ady's Munny and Souper Catch are capable of being in the shake-up.
3rd (2) Majestic Eye Opener | | | | | 2 | Bobby Ransom | Victor Gonzalez | Full sister to Coronasr Eye Opening, won twice at 1f. A precautionary market check is advised. |
2nd (7) Mc Paint Your Run | | | | | 2 | Luz Martinez | Anthony Cunningham | Dam won three times at 1f. Market support could prove significant. |
1st (1) Jefris Gold Wagon | | | | | 2 | Diego Bocanegra Villamil | Natasha Perez | Half-brother to Question The Eagle, won twice at 1f. Recent workouts suggest a place is possible. |
4th (4) Hf Just Reno | | | | | 2 | Rolando Pina | Tim Eggleston | Dam a lightly raced maiden. He's one of the more appealing newcomers on paper. |
5th (9) Buried | | | | | 2 | Fernando Morin | J Arevalo | Dam a lightly raced maiden. His yard is in fine fettle and closer examination is required. |
(3) Relentless Kin | | | | | 2 | Aron Hunt | Tim Eggleston | Full sister to Girl Like You, won twice at 1f and 2f. Representatives from this yard always warrant a second look on debut. |
(5) Gv Wild Cat | | | | | 2 | Giovani Vazquez Gomez | Jessica Vazquez | Dam won twice at 1f. A watching brief is advised. |
(6) Vrs Tio Penny | | | | | 2 | Hugo Macias | Jessica Vazquez | Full brother to Always Charging, won at 1f. Jockey bookings for the yard suggest he's one for further down the road. |
(8) Lb Polo Boy | | | | | 2 | Martin Munoz | Librado Barraza | Half-brother to Mavara Vegas, won six times at 1f and 2f. Other debutants have more to recommend them. |
(10) Lily Red Wagon | | | | | 2 | Francisco Quintero | Anthony Cunningham | Dam a lightly raced maiden. She's not the easiest to weigh up. |
(11) Sweeet D | | | | | 2 | Aron Hunt | Shawna Martin | Dam unraced. Finished 4 1/2l behind B Gone when fifth of 7 at 20-1 on her racecourse debut at Remington Park over 1f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Stacy Charette Hill. Reserve. |
With his yard in fine fettle, BURIED ticks plenty of the right boxes and a winning debut could be on the cards. Hf Just Reno and Jefris Gold Wagon are the most intriguing of the remaining newcomers.

(2) Sassy Sagey | | | | | 5 | Jairo Rodriguez | Michael Hewitt | She has won three times from 5f to 7f on the all-weather. Finished behind Beachgrass when sixth of 8 at 25-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. She has a bit to find. |

Finished 5l behind Beyond The Hype when fifth of 9 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Evangeline Downs over 1m last month. Only playing for a minor role. |
(4) Faded Memories | | | | | 6 | Lindey Wade | Paul Duhon | She has won four times from 5f to 1m on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 8 behind Cherokee Summer beaten 2l at 9-10fav on her latest outing at Evangeline Downs over 7f (good) last month. Dangerous to dismiss. |
(5) Pi Yo Princess | | | | | 6 | Alexander Castillo | Patrick Mouton | Winner of five races from 6f to 1m on the all-weather. A winner at 10-1 at Fair Grounds over 1m on her latest outing in March, beating Mary Jack by 1 3/4l. One to be interested in. |

QUINN ELLA has been unlucky to hit the crossbar on each of her last three starts and she can make amends on this occasion. Faded Memories and Quinn Murphy could also have a say.

(2) Gap Daddy | | | | | 4 | Carlos Lozada | Eric Nelson | A winner at 5f. Third of 11 behind War Tourist beaten 3l at 8-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f in March. She needs a bit extra to trouble the judge. |
(3) Juniors Joanie | | | | | 4 | Emanuel Nieves | Joe Duhon | A winner at 5f. Finished 16l behind Travaille when fifth of 6 at 8-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f in March. This stiffer test should suit. |

MISS ROSIE created a fine impression when scoring on her debut at Fair Grounds in February and a double looks highly probable. Bitsy Perfectmatch and Sister Saint may chase the selection home.

(5) Normandy Life | | | | | 3 | Manuel Aguilar | George Albright | Successful at 4f and 6f. A winner at 18-1 at Penn National over 6f on her latest outing in March, beating Dewey Doit by 1/2l. Dangerous to underestimate despite this being tougher. |

Six O'clock Sarah and Rusty My Brother can be fancied to be heavily involved. However, the consistent MIDNIGHT IN ALASKA, a multiple Parx winner and C&D scorer last time, could be tough to deal with if she breaks from the gates on a good stride.
