Destivelle

@19.00
Lose
-50
There should be good value here, in my humble opinion. Destivelle has shown glimpses of ability and runs to form in her usual stalking style tactics. She has twice placed over this course and distance, and her current handicap mark of 76 is extremely workable if she rediscovers her best life. Proven to handle the trip and track, she runs in a tongue strap and blinkers, which could sharpen her up. With Patrick Enright onboard, she stands at least a 10% strike rate chance of winning here. Although winless so far, she has enough placed form to suggest to me that she could grab a slice if the race sets up right. Likely to be ridden patiently with the pace looking fair, she has every chance today.

Fireblade is in stall 2, which is a good draw for his handy racing style, and his current handicap mark of 85 looks fair given his consistent recent form. He has placed at this course before and has winning form on similar going, and the conditions today will suit. Last time, he stayed on well when third over 2m here, and now dropping back slightly in trip could help him travel even sweeter. Suraj Narredu rides again for Dylan Cunha, and the pair have been clicking nicely together. With his solid strike rate of placed efforts and in this race shape likely to suit, he looks a strong win chance in this fair-paced contest today.

Gouken
Daily Racing
Gouken is in stall 8, which is not the easiest draw for a juvenile sprint, but this colt by Goken ran with plenty of promise on debut when finishing strongly for third at Newbury. That run says to me that he will improve markedly for the experience, and the extra know-how at the gates should see him travel more fluently than the others. The pedigree points to speed with some stamina depth, and Hollie Crouch is likely to have him tracking the pace before unleashing a late run. I see progression today, and he looks like a win-shot chance in a race that should be run at a good pace here.
18:15 6:15 Haydock
Fast Fred
Daily Racing
Fast Fred is in stall 5, which offers a fair starting position. This consistent gelding by Outstrip was game when winning over 11f at Carlisle two starts ago and backed that up with a solid third last time off today’s mark of 72. He has placed at this distance and on similar going, and cheekpieces seem to keep him focused. With Miss Pippa Brown claiming 3lb for Phillip Makin and his recent form holding up well, he looks a solid chance in a race where the pace should suit a handy ride from him here.
15:30 3:30 Brighton
Cindy Lou Who
Daily Racing
Cindy Lou Who is in stall 1, which can be ideal if breaking sharply here. This progressive filly by Zoustar has been thriving over 6f with three wins from six at the trip and arrives in top form after a convincing success at Windsor off 71. She handles a range of goings, has a solid 50% strike rate in this class, and represents a yard with an excellent course record. Off 75, she still looks competitive, and with Josephine Gordon likely to keep her handy from the inside draw, I reckon she rates a strong win chance in what should be a truly run race.
15:10 3:10 Thirsk
Harswell River
Daily Racing
Harswell River is in stall 7, which is a fair draw, and this filly has been making steady progress with each handicap start. She went very close at Southwell last time when beaten just half a length off a mark of 53 and now gets a handy 2lb drop to 51, which looks like a great mark here. The switch back to turf should suit, and Mark Winn is onboard. Likely to be held up before making a late challenge, she should be staying on strongly towards the end.

Ecclefechan is in stall 4, which should give options tactically here. This Bated Breath colt improved from his debut to finish fourth, beaten three and a half lengths over 6f at Yarmouth, and now drops back in trip, which could suit his style. With that experience under his belt and a handy draw, he could take another step forward and be involved late on if the race sets up well for him.

Feel The Need
Daily Racing
Feel The Need is in stall 7, a good draw to track the pace in this competitive race. He showed lots of determination winning by a neck off 74 at York in June and followed up with a solid third place, beaten only 3/4 length off 77 last time. With 3 wins and 5 places from 22 runs at this distance, he handles various ground well, including soft, good to firm, and AW. Trainer M Herrington is in good form, and despite no wins from 18 handicap runs, Feel The Need remains a consistent and credible contender here today.

Musical Touch

Lose
-50
Musical Touch is in stall 4, which is a handy spot for this strong traveller who should get a smooth tow into the race behind what looks like a solid pace. Beaten just 2 lengths off this mark last time at Yarmouth, he ran right to form and continues to knock on the door in decent contests. He has 1 win and 2 places from 6 runs on similar going and looks versatile with this ground. Still winless in handicaps, but he is holding his form well and shaping like a winner in waiting. Trained by Richard Fahey and ridden again by Cam Hardie, he has every chance today if on his A-game.

-50
McTed is in stall 2, which is a good draw for him as he likes to race handily. He ran to form last time when beaten just 2 lengths at Yarmouth and is now 1lb lower than that run. To me, he is slowly finding his level again off a sliding mark of 55, which looks good. He is a course and distance winner with 34 runs at this distance and solid place form. Wearing cheekpieces again and partnered by Alice Bond taking off 7lb, he could be well treated here. The pace looks fine for his style and he has a chance if building on his latest form.
16:20 4:20 Nottingham
Pearl Dubai

50 WIN
@13.00
Lose
-50
Pearl Dubai is in stall 2, a decent draw to get into a good position early. She probably needed her recent race after a wind operation and was well beaten in a Windsor maiden, but trainer Owen Burrows is in good form. With just her third run, she has plenty of scope for improvement. Still unexposed and lightly raced, Pearl Dubai could take a step forward here, making her a good chance if improving from that run to open her account.
16:00 4:00 Chelmsford City
Sovereign Sea
Daily Racing
Sovereign Sea is in stall 9, which is not ideal but not disastrous either if he breaks well. He is lightly raced and has shown promise with a string of runner-up efforts before finishing down the field in a warm handicap at York, where the quick ground may not have suited. Now he makes his Polytrack debut but has already shown he handles Tapeta, so this switch should suit. His current handicap mark of 93 looks very workable considering his profile, and he gets Silvestre De Sousa, which is a plus. Usually consistent and fresh from a short break, he looks a major win chance if handling the surface. The pace looks solid, which should suit his running style.
15:30 3:30 Chelmsford City
Daytona Lady
Daily Racing
Daytona Lady is in 9, which is not ideal over this trip, but she has solid course and distance form, having won once and placed four times from seven runs here. She ran close off this same mark of 67 at Southwell last time and is clearly in decent form. The cheekpieces stay on, and she tends to give her running at this level with six career wins in the grade. Although her strike rate is modest and she can be hit-and-miss, she has strong credentials on past AW form. Chance if breaking well and settling into a good early rhythm.

Gloriola is in stall 8, a decent draw for her debut. She is by top-class miler Aclaim and out of the very useful miler Gemina. She boasts a very strong pedigree and plenty of potential here. Her bloodlines suggest she could develop into a nice prospect, especially over 6f. So, giving her a shot today with small stakes.

Doilookokay is in stall 2, which is ideal for his pace-tracking running. This lightly raced 2-year-old looks to have a big chance after going close at Leicester on his handicap debut. That was over this trip, and he ran well, just denied by a neck. Now he makes his Polytrack debut, but his dam was related to AW winners, and he has a decent pedigree also. Dropped a pound to a mark of 49, which looks very workable based on that Leicester run. Faye McManoman takes over, and if he builds on the latest, he is a strong win player in a race lacking depth here.

Licence To Conquer is in stall 1 which is ideal for him, and he has solid credentials with a win at this distance and success wearing blinkers. Although he raced too freely and faded at Doncaster last time, he had previously impressed me when winning off a mark of 72 at Lingfield. Now 2lb below that, he’s well treated off 70. Dylan Cunha’s yard is going well and Kyle Strydom knows the horse, so if he settles early he could mount a strong challenge. With his record in this class and headgear, he is a definite each-way player

Love Your Work is in stall 8, which is not ideal for him, but he is a twelve-time winner with a strong record at this distance and in this class. Although well beaten at Chester last time, that was a sharp track, and this test might suit him better. He is just 1 lb lower than his last mark, but Donagh Murphy's 7 lb claim helps. He has won off higher and goes on this ground, so if he can bounce back to near his best, he is not without an each-way chance.

Letmebetheboss
Daily Racing
Letmebetheboss is a course and distance winner who powered away by 3 lengths two starts ago off 58, but he was only fourth last time out off 65 when beaten favorite. He was undone by race circumstances rather than his ability and should run better this time. He is in stall 6, which is fair. He has won on Polytrack, over the distance, and in this class, and he still looks to be improving for William Muir and Chris Grassick Yard. Lewis Edmunds keeps the ride, and with a mark of 65 still looking workable, he holds strong claims in a race that should be run at a good pace today.
20:02 8:02 Yarmouth
Kodi Red
Daily Racing
Kodi Red is in stall 4. He has 3 wins from 21 runs at this distance and performs well on similar going. With 2 wins in this class and a good drop in the weights now, and his current mark looks very favorable. After finishing 4 lengths behind at Windsor last time, he’s well placed to bounce back here. With Donagh Murphy onboard Kodi Red looks to be a solid pick for me with a good chance to get back on track today

Depalma has shown me some promise with a placing at this course and distance. However, he was outpaced and struggled on the recent Kilbeggan hurdle over 2m3f. He did not handle the track well and looked below form despite market support backing him. This switch to chasing could be the fresh start he needs, especially with R A Berry riding and Colm Murphy training. If he bounces back, he could make a competitive showing here.

Canopus is a well-bred Australian gelding who cost 170,000 guineas and makes his debut for the in-form Ed Walker team with Tom Marquand booked. He is the first foal out of an unraced mare but is a half-brother to a useful juvenile sprinter, so could have a good blend of speed and stamina. Starts life over 7f, which looks a good fit on pedigree, and being in stall 2 gives him a few options depending on Tom's tactics. Willing to take a little shot here as he should run well FTO.

Global Effort is in stall 6 and he has a win and 3 places from 14 runs at this distance and has placed once on similar going. With a decent record in this class and some solid recent efforts including at Wolverhampton, he looks to have a great chance despite a below-par run last time. Trained by P S McEntee and ridden by Grace McEntee, he could bounce back and give a good account here today

Arizona Robbins is in stall 5, which is handy for a filly trying to settle early. Although she was way too keen and beaten at Dundalk last time, that was her AW debut and came after a long 273-day break. She has since been gelded and returns off a career-low mark of 43 now, which gives her every chance if she has improved physically. Trainer Slattery can ready one after a break, and this turf debut might suit better based on pedigree. Still unexposed, and if more settled, she could outrun her odds and is my dark horse in a fair race today.

Filly Foden is in stall 5, and she has shown me consistent form with four runs at this distance, placing once, and has a similar placing record on the same going as today. Raced freely but still finished a respectable fourth in a seller at Musselburgh last time, and I reckon she looks ready to bounce back after a short break. With trainer Alice Haynes and jockey K T O'Neill, she offers at least a solid each-way chance in this race.

Duca Di Lucca is a lightly raced 3-year-old who made a good impression over 7f earlier this year and returns to that trip after failing to land a blow when dropped to 6f at Leicester. He remains on a workable mark of 70, which looks fair based on his earlier win in this class, and the first-time hood could sharpen him up today. Stall 5 is workable, and with Tom Marquand booked, he should get a smooth run into what looks like a fair pace. Polytrack debut adds a small amount of unknown for me and him, but his previous runs say that it will suit him here.
17:20 5:20 Sligo
Annies Angel
Daily Racing
Annie's Angel is in stall 7, which is fine for her running style. She arrives on the up after going close over this trip at Killarney in first-time cheekpieces. That was a big step forward to me, and she now returns off just a 2 lb higher mark of 80, which still looks very workable. She has placed on this sort of ground before and is unexposed at the trip. Dylan McMonagle keeps the ride, and Joseph O'Brien has a strong strike rate here. With form figures of 822 this term, a win looks within reach, and she holds solid claims in a race likely to be run at an even pace here.

Riverwoods is in stall 7, which is decent for her here. Although she was well beaten on her only start in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Kilbeggan, she is from a top yard with D J O'Keeffe training and De Bromhead riding, so improvement should definitely be on the cards. She is lightly raced at 4 years old, and the experience gained so far should help her progress and surprise today.

Init Together is a very versatile 7-year-old who won over hurdles at Worcester three runs back and has fair form on the flat too, including a win at this distance. He ran respectably off this mark when third on turf two starts ago before struggling in a tactical affair last time out. Now back at a venue where trainer Tony Carroll has a strong record, and with Matthew Slater claiming 7lb, he could bounce back. He is in stall 8, which is not ideal, but he stays well and could be ridden patiently off what looks like a good pace.
15:30 3:30 Pontefract
Paris Lights
Daily Racing
Paris Lights was a close second over course and distance in April and is back on the same mark, so is weighted to go well again. He is in stall 2, which is a handy draw for a hold-up runner, and Jason Hart takes over for the first time, which is a plus. Although below form last time when slowly away at Doncaster, he is more effective on artificial surfaces and returns to Polytrack off a short break. His overall win and place strike rates are not bad and he has shown glimpses of ability in similar company. Chance if getting the right pace to aim at and he gets out of the stall quicker this time around.

Vincent Gambini showed a little promise when held on debut at Doncaster but is entitled to come on for the run as it was his first time out, and he does represent the in-form Kevin Ryan yard. This Havana Grey colt is bred to appreciate the AW, being out of a 7f-8f AW winner, and gets the experienced rider Tom Eaves today. He is in stall 6, which is perfectly fine for this trip, and with improvement expected second time out and a more suitable surface here, he could take a step forward. I'm not ruling him out just yet.

Highwaygrey is a 5-time course winner with strong course and distance credentials, having landed 5 wins and 6 places from 16 runs here over C&D. Now 9 years old but still very competitive, he was a fair fourth last time at Beverley and returns to a track that clearly suits him. He is in stall 6, which is doable, and while his current mark of 58 is not that lenient, it is the same from which he won here last year. Thomas Easterby trains, Emily Roberts claims 5lb, and with a good pace expected to suit his hold-up style, he looks to have a decent shout today.

Mr Master Mac is an unexposed 4-year-old by top jumps sire Blue Bresil and makes his debut here for Mark Fahey with James Gleeson taking the ride. He is a half-brother to Diamond Approach and comes from a family that stays well, so this trip should suit first time out. The yard knows how to ready their horses, and he looks a strong, athletic type on paper. There is every chance he can outrun his odds if handling the track and showing the ability hinted at in his pedigree. Chance here today.
20:00 8:00 Roscommon
Il Silenzio
Daily Racing
Il Silenzio is an 8-year-old gelding by Kayf Tara who has placed once from six handicap starts and once over course and distance, including when third at Kilbeggan two runs ago. He was pulled up last time at Tipperary when failing to handle the track over 2m7f, but that effort can be forgiven as he was clearly not suited to the track. He runs off 87 here, which is workable based on his past runs, and he has previously placed wearing a tongue strap. Similar ground is fine, and this drop back in trip may suit. If bouncing back, he has at least an each-way shot today.
18:40 6:40 Newbury
Valentine Boy
Daily Racing
Valentine Boy showed me some real promise on debut when fourth, beaten just over 4 lengths in a novice over 7f at Salisbury. He showed natural speed before signs of greenness late on. That experience will bring him forward, and the drop to sprinting trips looks ideal given his sharp pedigree by Havana Grey. Trainer Lee Dace and 7lb claimer Jack Dace are an unexposed combo. From stall 4, he should be able to sit handily from behind the pace, and he looks likely to take a big step forward here with win potential if he breaks well today.
18:20 6:20 Roscommon
Ballyglass Beauty
Daily Racing
Ballyglass Beauty is a 9-year-old with a 28% win rate at this distance and showed clear signs of a revival when fourth off 103 over 3m2f at Sligo 23 days ago, beaten by 5 lengths. That was his second run after a long layoff, and he now looks to be building fitness. He is well treated on old form and has previously won off higher marks. R A Berry claims 7lb and keeps the ride for Liam Cusack. Proven on similar going, he is a solid stayer at this trip. He has at least an each-way chance if repeating that recent effort in what looks a fair contest here.

British Blue is a lightly raced filly with potential and already a winner over this trip and in this class, so conditions are not an issue. She was outclassed in a deeper race here last time when fourth, but Richard Hannon does well at this track and Sean Levey gets back aboard. She is off a mark of 69, which still offers upside, and a return to this class should see her more competitive again. From stall 1, which can be handy if she breaks well, she has at the very minimum each-way claims if building on her earlier form.

Blue Jay Way has shown me glimpses of ability and has placed over course and distance before, so cannot be ruled out entirely back on familiar ground here. Was beaten 7 lengths over 7f at Wolverhampton last time, but that came off a short turnaround and he may strip fitter now after a little break. He is in stall 6, which is neither ideal nor awful, and trainer John Riches teams up with Sean Kirrane again. Off a mark of 45, which is very workable, he has each-way possibilities if bouncing back to his best or even better.

High Esteem is a well-bred Al Kazeem colt making his debut and is attracting support in the market, which is often a strong pointer for this yard. He is a half-brother to Exuding, who was very useful at 6f, and his dam was a smart 5f performer, so he looks bred for speed and agility. Archie Watson has a good record with newcomers and has booked Hollie Doyle, which is a very eye-catching booking. He is in stall 1, which is ideal for a debutant at sharp tracks. Worth a closer look in the paddock on TV today and could be a win or each-way chance if primed first time out.

Luwsail is in stall 3 and arrives on a sharp upward curve after back-to-back Group 1 PA wins, including a dominant display over 2000m at ParisLongchamp in May. He stays this trip well, travels strongly, and has the ideal tactical pace for this kind of test.

He just missed by half a length at Lingfield last time despite not getting a clear run. Although raised 2lb, conditions suit, and a hood is in place again.

Kath's Tipple is a nicely bred daughter of Wootton Bassett and a half-sister to the useful Sweet Celebration, so there is definite potential in her pedigree.

Experienced with 32 runs and nine places in this class, she is consistent and handles similar going well. Alec Voikhansky rides, and trainer Joseph Patrick Fox could get her to bounce back here, as she is down a little in the weights and very well handicapped. She should be competitive here, I reckon.

This drop in class and switch to handicaps could spark improvement, especially with Archie Watson's yard in form. Luke Morris takes the ride and she receives weight all round. With just three runs under her belt, there should be more to come from this daughter of Due Diligence and she is unexposed and nicely drawn here.

Blufferonthebus is a reliable performer at this track with 2 wins and 4 places from 9 course starts and has already struck over this course and distance. She did well to win from off the pace three starts ago and was a solid fourth off 66 last time when not beaten far. She has a good record when things fall right and the form of her recent runs reads well for this grade. From stall 5, she should be able to settle nicely off the pace and come with a late challenge. She has had 32 total runs, with 3 wins and 9 places, giving her a win rate of 9% and a place rate of 37%. On a fair mark of 65, she has a great chance in what looks a truly run race here.

Some Good Men Gone is in stall 16, which is not ideal but could still slot in if ridden positively. Shaped with more promise when beaten 6 lengths in an 8f Limerick maiden and now steps up to 10f, which could unlock improvement given his strong middle-distance pedigree by Almanzor. Makes handicap debut off a mark of 70, which looks a little challenging on bare form, but he remains unexposed and open to progress. Trainer Andrew Slattery does well with 3yo handicappers, so definite possibilities here.

Slowly away and not ideally placed when beaten just 4 lengths at Ffos Las last time over a mile, he now drops 1 lb to a mark of 65, which could help. He has placed once in this class and may be sharper with a better break. Trained by Warren Greatrex and ridden by Edward Greatrex, he has no wins and a 14% place strike rate. Could outrun his odds if breaking more alertly and getting into a rhythm. Chance in a very open-looking race.

He is unexposed, still learning, and could take another step forward with fitness improving. Claims if the race sets up steadily.

Classy Clarets is in stall 9. He took a big step forward when winning stylishly off 58 at Wolverhampton three starts ago and has shown me he can handle course and distance when placed here previously. Needs to bounce back after two below-par efforts off higher marks, but he is still relatively unexposed at this trip. Wearing a tongue strap and hood again, with Christian Howarth up, and if breaking well from stall 9, he could bounce back into the frame if back on song.

Archduke Ferdinand is in stall 4 and returns to a more workable mark of 87, just 2 lb higher than when winning at Redcar over 7f in May. He has strong form at this distance with 3 wins from 10 runs and handles fast ground well with 5 wins on similar going. He overdid it when well beaten last time off 89, but drops back in grade and could get a better tow into the race here. Trained by Seb Spencer and ridden by Dougie Swift, he has had 35 runs with a 14% win and 25% place strike rate. He has a chance if bouncing back with a more restrained ride today.

Star Of St Louis is in stall 7 running off a mark of 62, which looks fair given his recent classified win at Southwell by 3 lengths. After a long absence, this Style Vendome gelding should have plenty to offer if fit enough. He has course and distance experience with a placing, and his positive ride last time shows he can go close. Ali Husain rides for Wayne Lukas, and the pace looks suitable for his front-running style. possible here

Glorious Kitty is in stall 7 and has shown me flashes of ability, including a close third at Nottingham off this mark earlier this season. She was well backed when seventh at Thirsk 20 days ago but may not have enjoyed the soft ground. Should be more effective back on quicker going over 5f and this sharper test could suit. Trained by the Easterbys and ridden by Joanna Mason, she has had 7 runs with no wins and 1 place, giving her a 14% place rate. With the right conditions and a better pace setup today, she holds a good chance here

Formal Address is in stall 7, running off a mark of 45, which looks doable based on recent form. Usually held up, he now wears blinkers for the first time alongside a tongue strap and hood, which could help him find extra. Although beaten 7 lengths last time over 10f at Leicester, his consistent placing at this level and surface keeps him competitive. With K T O'Neill riding and B R Johnson training, he has a chance to bounce back. The pace also looks suitable for his held-up running style.

An Laochmor is in stall 12. He has shown me flashes of ability including a close third over this trip off 50 at Down Royal last month and has placed on similar going and in a visor, which he wears again here. Nicola Burns claims 4lb and that helps bring his mark to a workable level. The wide draw is not ideal but if he breaks sharply and races prominently, he could get involved in what should be a strong pace. He has placed three times off this mark and could sneak into the frame again if things go his way today

Rogue Temptation
Daily Racing
Rogue Temptation is in stall 2 and built on debut promise when stepping up to 6f and winning nicely in a Haydock novice on good to firm ground 17 days ago. She travelled powerfully and stayed on well, suggesting to me that there is more to come now tackling handicaps. Her pedigree by Mehmas points to continued progress at this trip, and she has the speed to hold a handy position from her low draw. Rated 95 in early assessments, she looks a serious contender and could defy her opening mark if continuing her upward curve here.

Vale Of Glory
Daily Racing
Vale Of Glory ran one of his better races when just touched off by a closer here over course and distance last time, finishing second beaten only 1 length off a mark of 98. He has placed on both course starts and now races off 100, which looks fair given that effort. The 10-year-old has a solid profile in this grade, wears a tongue strap again which suits, and has been generally consistent of late. With Eoin G Kelly claiming 7lb again, he should get a nice tow into the race and looks a solid option if building on that recent effort

Balgowan is in stall 4 and returns to 1m6f after racing a bit keenly when fourth over 2m at Kempton, finishing just 4 lengths off the winner. He has been consistent on the AW this season and has placed twice from three runs on this surface. Now back into his loved trip and racing off a workable mark of 55, he looks primed for another good run. From 24 total runs, he has 1 win and 6 places with a 4% win rate and 29% place rate. George Downing is back aboard, and the race looks open enough for him to be a live player with a good pace expected.

Natural Force is in stall 4 and returns from a very long absence but made a striking impression when making all to win a competitive Ascot novice on debut over this trip. That form has substance, and the way he travelled suggested real quality. Now tackling a handicap off 82, which looks workable based on that performance. His pedigree is all speed and class, and James Tate has a good record with horses returning from long layoffs. If fit and ready, he could be hard to peg back from the front. Very much a win chance if retaining his ability.

Secret Rock
Daily Racing
Secret Rock shaped nicely when fourth, beaten 7 lengths in a 12f Newcastle handicap on return from a 603-day layoff, traveling well before fading late. He is thrown in based on old flat and hurdles form and looks very interesting back in action. The 6-year-old has won 2 of 12 starts with a tongue strap and handles this sort of going well with a 25% strike rate. Now rated 98, which looks workable, and D King is a positive jockey booking for Adrian Martin. If building on that comeback, he could outrun his odds.

Sea Suite
Daily Racing
Sea Suite made a solid debut and now takes a drop in grade after finding the going too quick at Windsor last time. Still early days for this well-bred son of Sea The Stars out of a speedy mare, and the stable is in good nick. He lines up from stall 3 with Rossa Ryan booked, which is a plus. Off a mark of 82, he has the potential to improve and the move to slightly easier company today looks like a good decision. If the pace is strong enough, he could pick them off late.
