Cavani Menswear Sartorial Sprint Handicap
5f

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

1. Korker (IRE) – 559.0
2. Clarendon House – 548.6
3. Dream Composer (FR) – 504.5
4. Can To Can (IRE) – 481.3
5. Arecibo (FR) – 472.3
6. Dubai Station – 409.9

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

1. Clarendon House: Successful in a small field conditions’ event at Beverley and showed promise with a decent third-place finish in the “Dash” at Epsom. Pulled too hard in a subsequent race but worth another chance with the application of a tongue strap.
2. Korker (IRE): Returned to form with a second-place finish in a handicap at Newcastle. Expected to be a player in this race with a similar performance.
3. Arecibo (FR): Despite a mounting losing streak, showed signs of improvement with a seventh-place finish in a handicap at Newcastle. Has previously demonstrated decent form at this track.
4. Dream Composer (FR): Has shown improvement this year, winning at Newmarket and Goodwood. Encountered a troubled run when finishing third at Goodwood before finding the Wokingham at Royal Ascot too competitive.
5. Dubai Station: Won at Wolverhampton but has struggled to match that form since. Overall record suggests he may be more effective on the All-Weather.
6. Can To Can (IRE): Impressed when making all in first-time blinkers at Newcastle, leaving her reappearance/yard debut effort behind. Showed good form in a large field at Royal Ascot, finishing seventh and deserving extra credit for being up with the pace.

Based on this analysis, Korker (IRE) appears to be the best pick. With the highest rating and a recent strong performance, he is expected to be a top contender in the race. Clarendon House and Dream Composer (FR) also show promise and should be considered as strong contenders.

Dragon Stakes (Listed)
5f

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

1. Born To Rock (IRE) – 689.2
2. Kylian (IRE) – 566.7
3. Hala Emaraaty (IRE) – 566.3
4. Hackman (IRE) – 507.0
5. Nazalan (IRE) – 471.6
6. Sergeant Wilko (IRE) – 444.3
7. Queues Likely – 361.8

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

1. Hackman (IRE): Showed promise on debut and followed up with a good performance in the National Stakes over the C&D. However, appeared amiss and was well held in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot.
2. Hala Emaraaty (IRE): Overcame inexperience to win on debut and was equally effective on different ground when defying a penalty. Ran to a similar level when seventh in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot.
3. Kylian (IRE): Took a step forward to win in good style on the all-weather at Newcastle. Likely to improve further and deserves respect stepping up in grade.
4. Nazalan (IRE): Showed promise on debut when green and improved to make all and win comfortably in a C&D novice race. The form has been validated, and there is potential for further improvement.
5. Sergeant Wilko (IRE): Finished second in a novice race at Musselburgh and won at Thirsk. Disappointed in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, but previous form suggests better performance is possible.
6. Born To Rock (IRE): Impressed on debut, winning a maiden at Yarmouth. While the form has taken some hits, the timefigure was strong, making her a strong contender.
7. Queues Likely: Showed her best form when making all and winning a maiden at Windsor. However, struggled under a penalty in her most recent race and is expected to face another tough challenge in this higher grade.

Based on this analysis, Born To Rock (IRE) seems to be the best pick. With the highest rating and a convincing debut victory, she appears to be the one to beat in this race. Kylian (IRE) and Nazalan (IRE) also show promise and should be considered as strong contenders.

3.05 Sandown (6 runners)
Coral Marathon (Listed) (Registered
As The Esher Stakes)
2m½f

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

1. Yibir – 758.1
2. Sleeping Lion (USA) – 593.6
3. Ocean Wind – 573.1
4. Aaddeey (IRE) – 511.6
5. Raymond Tusk (IRE) – 431.6
6. Estacas (GER) – 418.3

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

1. Aaddeey (IRE): Dual winner in 2021 and made a successful return after a long break with a win at Ripon. Didn’t perform well in the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot but returns to a small field scenario.
2. Estacas (GER): Fair hurdler who showed promise on only his second start on the flat when finishing fifth in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot. It remains to be seen if he can replicate that performance.
3. Ocean Wind: Three-time winner in 2020 and finished runner-up in his first three outings in 2021. Disappointed in the Henry II Stakes at this C&D over two years ago and will wear blinkers for his return.
4. Raymond Tusk (IRE): Useful performer who finished third in a handicap at Newmarket after a break. Didn’t perform at the same level in the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot, suggesting other options may be better.
5. Sleeping Lion (USA): Capable performer who ran well after a break, finishing third in the Henry II Stakes at this C&D. However, needs to settle better if he wants to be competitive.
6. Yibir: High-class performer who ended 2022 with a victory in the Group 2 Princess of Wales’s Stakes. Looked rusty on return and performed below par in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. Considered the one to beat in this company.

Based on this analysis, Yibir seems to be the best pick. Despite a recent below-par performance, he has a high rating and a strong previous record. The other contenders, such as Sleeping Lion and Ocean Wind, have shown promise but may face challenges. Yibir appears to have the best chance of winning based on the provided information.

9. Standbackandlook – 95.0
10. Wild Waves (IRE) – 82.1

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

1. Arabian Crown (FR): Interesting newcomer from a top yard, with a strong pedigree and siblings who have achieved success. Merits serious consideration.
2. Blue Collar (IRE): Well-bred colt with a good family background. The market can guide on his first outing.
3. Devils Point (IRE): Well-bred colt with useful siblings and a winning dam. Can’t be ruled out on debut.
4. Happy Chandler: Closely related to a smart winner and a half-brother to a successful 2-year-old. Appeals on paper and should be in the mix.
5. Judge Frank (IRE): Showed promise on debut, finishing second in a minor event at Newbury. Expected to build on that performance and is in the picture.
6. Maximum Dividend (IRE): Appeals on pedigree, but the market can provide valuable insights into his first outing.
7. Overlooked (IRE): Showed improvement from debut, finishing third in a minor event at Newbury. May continue to progress.
8. Standbackandlook: Half-brother to several winners, including a smart performer. Betting should be a good indicator of his chances.
9. Starlore: Well-bred colt from excellent hands and a useful family background. Merits serious consideration.
10. Wild Waves (IRE): Half-brother to several winners, including a French winner. No forlorn hope on his debut.

Based on this analysis, Judge Frank appears to be the best pick. He showed promise on debut and is expected to improve in this race. Arabian Crown and Starlore also have strong credentials based on their pedigree and connections. However, Judge Frank’s recent performance gives him an edge in this race.

4.15 Sandown (5 runners)
Davies Insurance Solutions Gala Stakes (Listed)
1m2f

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

1. Saga – 602.6
2. Poker Face (IRE) – 615.6
3. Notre Belle Bete – 614.4
4. Certain Lad – 480.2
5. Savvy Victory (IRE) – 478.3

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

1. Certain Lad: Group 3 winner in 2020, ran well under a big weight and was hampered in the Wolferton. The run in the Wolferton can be excused.
2. Notre Belle Bete: Revived with cheekpieces at the end of last year, won a Group race at Newcastle and kept on for third in a race at Newmarket. Was not a factor in the Wolferton.
3. Poker Face (IRE): Progressive last autumn, winning all three starts up to this distance. Faded in a Group 2 race at Chester but needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in the Wolferton.
4. Saga: Narrowly missed out on victory in the Britannia last year and showed promise with first-time blinkers/tongue tie. Finished fifth in the Wolferton and is considered a major player in this race.
5. Savvy Victory (IRE): Dual winner last season and finished second in a handicap at Chester, with Certain Lad third. Hampered and eased off in the Wolferton, so that effort can be forgiven.

Based on this analysis, Saga appears to be the best pick. He has shown consistent form, narrowly missing out on victory in the Britannia and finishing fifth in the Wolferton. With the blinkers/tongue tie combination and being a major player on these terms, Saga stands out as the top choice in this race.

3. Lionella – 434.6

5. Sea Appeal (IRE) – 409.7

8. Miss Cynthia – 358.2
9. Further Measure (USA) – 341.6
10. Seahouses – 340.4
11. Balboa – 264.7

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

1. Percy Jones: Has been offering better signs of late, with a runner-up finish at Kempton a month ago. Not to be discounted.
2. Liable: Promising sort who was well positioned when runner-up in a maiden at Salisbury last time. Capable of better and notable handicap debutant.
3. Lionella: In good order this year and showed improvement to win a C&D handicap three weeks ago. Expected to progress further and likely to be in the mix.
4. Hes A Latchico (IRE): Won three times on the AW and shaped well at Windsor in the spring. Has since won a couple of handicap hurdles, so shouldn’t be dismissed on the flat.
5. Sea Appeal (IRE): Fairly useful handicapper at best but hasn’t been performing well this year.
6. Militry Decoration (IRE): Won at Southwell in December and showed a return to form with a third-place finish at Goodwood. Tongue tie refitted, but others appear better treated.
7. Haarar: Has been expensive to follow lately but might benefit from more favorable circumstances in this bigger field.
8. Miss Cynthia: Showed promise and pulled clear with another promising horse when second at Yarmouth. Expected to continue improving.
9. Further Measure (USA): Completed a quick double on the AW but returns to turf in a more competitive environment, so a big effort is required.
10. Seahouses: Showing signs of encouragement in previous outings, taking another step forward when third in a maiden at Goodwood. More to come now handicapping and merits respect.
11. Balboa: Lightly-raced maiden who had a poor start to his handicapping career. Returns with something to prove.

Based on this analysis, Percy Jones appears to be the best pick. He has shown good form with recent runner-up finishes and offers promise in this race. Liable and Lionella also show potential and could be contenders, but Percy Jones stands out as the top choice based on the information provided.

Vintage Acquisitions Whisky Chaser
Handicap (Lady Amateur Jockeys)
1m 

Based on the ratings provided, here’s the ranking of the runners from highest to lowest:

1. Roman Dynasty (IRE) – 341.5
2. Brunel Charm – 399.4
3. Goldsmith (IRE) – 390.4
4. Luna Magic – 385.9
5. Gavi Di Gavi (IRE) – 351.8
6. Marsh Benham (IRE) – 320.3

9. Sir Plato (IRE) – 228.4
10. Brilliant Blue (IRE) – 227.8
11. Keeper’s Choice (IRE) – 215.7

Now let’s assess the comments for each runner:

1. Roman Dynasty (IRE): Showed promise in previous run, winning a 10-runner handicap at Nottingham. Carries a 5 lb penalty but remains well treated on old form.
2. Brunel Charm: Has a good record on the AW but hasn’t performed well on turf in the past.
3. Goldsmith (IRE): Dual AW winner during the winter and finished third on turf at Lingfield in March. Not as successful on turf, but dangerous to discount with last year’s winning trainer-jockey combination.
4. Luna Magic: Shaped well when fourth at Newbury and won a Chepstow handicap but recent effort at Newcastle was uninspiring.
5. Gavi Di Gavi (IRE): Has seven wins on the AW, but his turf record is 0-9. Shaped better than the finishing position at Newbury, and dropping back in trip could be beneficial.
6. Marsh Benham (IRE): Produced a career-best win at Chepstow and followed up over 7f at Brighton. The rise in the handicap forces him into a higher grade.
7. Hoots Toots: Back-to-back winner on the AW but struggled off a higher mark at Doncaster next time.
8. Imperial Cult (IRE): Showed improvement when third on handicap debut at Lingfield, but the drop back in trip is uncertain now returning to turf.
9. Sir Plato (IRE): Winner off this mark at Chepstow but has had little impact in three starts for present connections.
10. Brilliant Blue (IRE): Showed promise at 2 years old and had a step back in the right direction with recent placings. Drop in trip could suit.
11. Keeper’s Choice (IRE): Failed to reproduce the level of form shown at Chester and has a losing run stretching back over two years.

Based on this analysis, Roman Dynasty (IRE) appears to be the best pick. He showed promise in the previous run, winning a handicap at Nottingham, and remains well treated on old form. Brunel Charm and Goldsmith (IRE) also have potential, but Roman Dynasty stands out as the top choice based on the information provided.
