Dashing Darcey
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Went third towards the finish over the extended 7 furlongs at the very sharp Chester track 9 days ago and likely to be more suited to this galloping track.
14:25 2:25 Newbury
Mister Sketch
Daily Racing
50 WIN
6th of 11
in The Greenham Stakes over 7 furlongs here last month, beaten 3 lengths but
making headway when short of room. Won over this trip in impressive style at
Salisbury in Augsut 2023 and a runner-up in the Mill Reef over course and
distance in September 2023. The drop in trip looks set to suit.
14:40 2:40 Newmarket
Darkness
Daily Racing
25 EW
Not beaten
far in 2 attempts over course and distance, finishing 2 lengths behind in 4th
off a mark of 87 in May 2023 and 1.5 lengths when third off a mark of 92 in
September 2023. He races off of 87 today and should benefit from the drop in
trip after leading for a long way over a mile here last time out and
weakening inside the final 110 yards.
15:00 3:00 Newbury
Black Run
Daily Racing
25 EW
Possible
front-runner here, winning over this trip at Newmarket last time out making
all. Probably unsuited by the very soft ground in the race prior to that at
Longchamp in April 2024 and could be each way value with some of this field
trying this trip for the first time.
15:15 3:15 Newmarket
Zozimus
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Not suited
by the drop in trip when racing over 7 furlongs at Haydock last Saturday when
sent off favourite, running on inside the final furlong and taking fourth
close to home. Third of 16 over course and distance in the race prior to that
off a pound higher mark with the step back up in trip looking likely to be
needed.
15:35 3:35 Newbury
Hi Royal
Daily Racing
25 EW
Runner-up in last year's 2000 Guineas and 3rd in the Irish equivalent 3 weeks later, both over this trip. Lost his way following that but showed a little more promise when 3rd of 9 over further at Newmarket last month following wind surgery. The drop in trip will suit and it is possible that more improvement is to come on second race following that wind operation for each way appeal.
16:10 4:10 Newbury
Lethal Levi
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Turned
round quickly after being backed into favourite and disappointing at York on
Wednesday over this trip. Nevertheless, he will be fitter for 2 runs this
month following an absence of 209 days and the first time blinkers could work
their magic.
16:20 4:20 Thirsk
Tinto
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Runner-up
in the Silver Cup over this 6 furlong trip at Ayr on final start of last
season in September 2023. Reappeared over 6 furlongs at Doncaster in March
and in need of the run and not suited by the drop in trip to 5 furlongs here
2 weeks ago. Those 2 runs will see him strip much fitter though and this
return to 6 furlongs will suit.
16:30 4:30 Bangor on Dee
Stony Man
Daily Racing
50 WIN
A winner
over the hurdles course at this tight track and made his fences debut over
this trip at Southwell last month when a staying on 4th. Should benefit from
that experience in a Class 4 and may find this Class 5 a little easier.
16:54 4:54 Thirsk
On A Session
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Missed the
break, slow away and always behind from stall 1 at Chester last time out.
Will need to break smarter today, but if he can get away cleanly he could go
well and was a keeping on 3rd over this trip on penultimate start at
Musselbugh off a pound higher mark in April.
17:00 5:00 Newmarket
Epic Express
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Won over
course and distance last year and won over this trip on seasonal reappearance
on the Lingfield all-weather in March 2024 and then runner-up and beaten a
neck over the same track and trip on the 4th of April. Not suited by the step
up to 7 furlongs at Chelmsford last time out but this drop back to 6 should
suit.
17:05 5:05 Bangor on Dee
Ballygeary
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Won over
further here in December 2023 when sent off odds-on favourite in a Class 3
and runner-up over 2 miles next time out at Musselburgh in a Class 3 too. His
next 3 races have all been in Class 2 company where he has struggled and this
ease in grade to Class 4 company looks appealing.
17:30 5:30 Thirsk
Covert Legend
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Only raced
on turf once and that was in May 2023 when well beaten over this trip at
Yarmouth. Won his first race on 12th attempt over the extended mile at
Wolverhampton last month, despite being slow away he ran on well to lead
inside the final furlong and should go well if able to transfer that form to
the turf.
17:40 5:40 Bangor on Dee
El Borracho
Daily Racing
25 EW
A course
and distance winner in August 2023 and then a beaten favourite over a furlong
shorter when 3rd of 4 at Newton Abbot next time out. Finished last year 4th
of 7 over further at Kempton in October 2023. Not seen again until
reappearing in a flat race over 2 miles on the Southwell tapeta last month
but will strip fitter for that run. Wears the first time cheek-pieces today
which could have a positive effect.
18:30 6:30 Uttoxeter
Post Chaise
Daily Racing
50 WIN
4 times a winner over fences, one over further too. Won at Market Rasen on penultimate start over this trip and a staying on runner-up when a beaten favourite at Southwell last time out. Races off a 2 pound higher mark but the 3 pound allowance claimed in the saddle by Toby Wynne, puts him one pound below that latest mark.
19:03 7:03 Uttoxeter
Take No Chances
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Justified
favouritism when scoring over further at Warwick last month, remains
unexposed and lightly raced with further improvement very probable.
19:33 7:33 Uttoxeter
Bring The Action
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Won over
this trip at Hereford last time out with the form receiving a boost when the
third horse home in that race (Kankin) and 6 lengths behind Bring The Action,
won at Fakenham on the 7th of May.
19:50 7:50 Doncaster
Mythical Phoenix
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Ex-Irish
unexposed 4 year old gelding and made his stable debut for Julie Camacho over
this trip at Thirsk 2 weeks ago when second of 15. Should come on for that
run which was on the back of an absence from the track of 249 days.
