1:15 Doncaster – Betfred Mallard Handicap (C2, 1m6½f, 3yo+, Going: Good to Soft, Stalls: Inside)
Pace & Draw Angles:
- Likely pace: Midnight Lion is the only solid, declared front-runner; several closers (Subsequent, Shadow Dance, Beylerbeyi, Synergism) suggest an even-to-strong overall gallop if a couple of handy types press.
- Draw: Inside stalls can help round here with the early bend; low/mid slightly preferred. Wide 11–13 could need luck if they drop in.
Strongest Contenders
Synergism (3yo) – Progressive (p/P)
AW form exploded over 2m and he shaped well on turf earlier, even when hampered. Back to 1m6½f on a galloping track looks ideal; races off a light weight and still open to plenty of improvement. Softish ground fine. Big chance if pace is honest.
Shadow Dance – Proven
Close 3rd in this race last year off 1lb higher (G/S). Ebor run better than it reads (in mix 2f out on GF). Return to easier ground and track setup is a plus. Draw 8 is handy. Solid.
Subsequent – Proven
Listed winner at 1m6f (soft) last autumn; best run this term in the Ebor, staying on from off the pace. Down 2lb, softer ground a positive. Can be slowly away; needs gaps, but the class is there.
Duraji – Promising (P)
Lightly raced Dubawi/Galileo colt; shaped like a winner-in-waiting on h’cap debut in the Goodwood 1m6f (G/S), travelling like a class act. Buick booked, yard in form; still learning but this looks the plan.
Main Dangers
Align The Stars – Progressive (p)
First-time blinkers sparked a revival (best run of 2025) when 4th in a hot Haydock 1m6f. Back down the weights; repeat/step forward puts him in the frame.
Beylerbeyi – Progressive (p)
Rapid summer hat-trick at 1m4f (two on G/S). Strong finisher who looks worth this step up; pace set-up could help. Wide draw (12) and first try at trip are the small questions.
Promethean – Promising (P)
Finally broke maiden easily at Clairefontaine (1m4f); staying pedigree and shaped as if this longer trip could unlock more. Unexposed.
Interesting Outsiders
Good Show – Stayer’s profile; shaped like a grinder over 2m (soft) on return. If this becomes a slog, he can outrun odds.
Maxi King has ability and handles ease; first run for yard was solid. Needs to prove stamina fully at 1m6½f.
Runner Scores (suitability /10)
- Synergism (3yo, 5) – 8.5/10 (p/P): Big weight pull, improving hard; turf okay; trip looks spot on.
- Shadow Dance (8) – 8/10: Course form, ground and mark align; slight hold-up risk.
- Subsequent (11) – 7.5/10: Strong 1m6f soft credentials; Ebor upgrade; wide & slow starts a niggle.
- Duraji (6) – 7.5/10 (P): Unexposed stayer; Goodwood form strong; could still be raw.
- Align The Stars (10) – 7/10 (p): Blinkers revival; well treated; needs to back it up.
- Beylerbeyi (12) – 7/10 (p): Finisher stepping up in trip; draw not ideal but solid profile.
- Promethean (5) – 6.5/10 (P): Unexposed; trip move is logical; needs a chunk more vs seasoned rivals.
- Good Show (2) – 6/10: Stamina assured; if it turns attritional, live place chance.
- Maxi King (3) – 5.5/10: Bit to prove at the trip; absence a small negative but ground suits.
- Roaring Legend (4) – 5/10: Ebor 10th respectable; needs another step forward.
- Arqoob (1) – 5/10: Blinkers/new trip perked him up; this is deeper but low draw helps.
- Midnight Lion (13) – 3.5/10: Likely pace angle; turf record a concern.
- Nachtgeist (12) – 2.5/10: Mixed hurdles form; big ask back on Flat.
Notes:
- Keep an eye on the market for support or big drifts for runners returning from layoffs of 90+ days.
- Watch out for in-form sprinters returning quickly; they can be hot. (not directly applicable here, but freshness angles still matter)
Each-Way Angles (13 runners)
- Align The Stars – back to form in headgear; workable mark; each-way at double figures makes sense.
- Beylerbeyi – strong finisher up in trip; each-way if 12/1+ with 4 places.
- Good Show – small EW if rain arrives/ground rides slower than advertised.

Market watch advised for runners making their 2nd start.
Summary & Smart Play (Pro Punter View)
Plenty of closers vs a single obvious leader (Midnight Lion) points to a true pace rather than a crawl. That tilts things toward well-handicapped, strong finishers with 1m6f+ efficiency on easier ground. Synergism fits the bill best: thriving 3yo, big weight pull, and relentless late gears. Shadow Dance is the solid yardstick with C&D form, while Subsequent brings the right ground/trip class and a workable mark. Duraji is the classy improver to fear.
Smart Play generated by Chatgpt
- Top Win Bet: Synergism – progressive 3yo, well in on profile, ideal setup.
- Each-Way Saver: Shadow Dance – last year’s placer, ground/trip/track all in favour.
- Value EW (bigger price): Align The Stars – revived in first-time blinkers; handicapped to hit the frame.
1:50 Doncaster – Betfred Flying Scotsman Stakes (Listed, 7f, 2yo, Going: Good to Soft, Stalls: Centre)
Pace & Draw Angles
- Likely pace: Frescobaldi (made all at Fairyhouse; prominent in Convivial), Hankelow and Do Or Do Not all race handy; Northern Champion tracked leaders on debut. Expect an honest/strong tempo.
- Draw: Centre stalls + straight 7f here = broadly neutral; tactical position matters more than berth.
Strongest Contenders
Northern Champion (Ed Walker) – Promising (P)
Soft-ground Deauville debut winner (7f, Sft) in a hot newcomers’ race; the runner-up has franked the form. Big engine, travels, conditions ideal today. Scope to rate well into Listed class.
Do Or Do Not (Ed Walker) – Proven
Coventry/July/Vintage/Gimcrack placings (all G2) put him top on ratings (OR 105/RPRs to 116). Back to 7f and cheekpieces off help; only small query is first try on easing ground.
Frescobaldi (A P O’Brien) – Progressive (p)
Won the Convivial Maiden (deepest UK maiden) travelling on the speed; still raw (hangs) but plenty of upside and should relish a proper pace. Listed level looks well within reach.
Hankelow (K R Burke) – Promising (P)
Expensive Night Of Thunder colt; authoritative York 7f debut. Form/style say he’s a natural for this grade. Ground the small unknown (only on good so far).
Catullus (Appleby) – Progressive (p)
Yarmouth romp (1/14) after solid placed efforts; strong yardstick, straightforward, and Buick up. Needs a chunk more but profile screams improvement.
Others
Avicenna (Varian) – Promising (P): C&D debut winner (GF) finding plenty late; hefty price tag, trainer targets this race. More to come; ground a slight question but pedigree says okay.
Sunset On Leros: Smooth C&D novice win; neat action, likely better to come but this is deeper.
Sir Albert: Tough and battle-hardened (nursery hat-trick; incl heavy); big class rise now.
Electrical: 6f debut winner by Nathaniel; staying pedigree screams future 1m+ but this jump is steep today.
Do Bronxs: Best run came last of five in a G1; 6f form/softer ground unknowns.
Runner Scores /10 (suitability today)
- Northern Champion – 8.5/10 (P): Strong debut on soft, tops for today’s ground and progression.
- Do Or Do Not – 8/10: Class standout; 7f a plus; ground the only mild query.
- Frescobaldi – 7.5/10 (p): Convivial winner; pace/trip suit; still learning but big upside.
- Hankelow – 7.5/10 (P): Talented; unknown on softer but major talent.
- Catullus – 7/10 (p): Solid platform to step up; could easily rate higher.
- Avicenna – 6.5/10 (P): C&D winner with scope; Listed leap but appealing at odds.
- Sunset On Leros – 6/10: C&D win good; needs another jump.
- Sir Albert – 6/10: Hardy winner, handles deep; class rise stiff but not out of it.
- Electrical – 5/10: Stamina type; big leap in depth/tempo.
- Do Bronxs – 4.5/10: 6f form/ground doubts at this level.
Notes:
- Keep an eye on the market for support or big drifts for runners making their 2nd start.
Private Tissue (Raceform Data)
- Do Or Do Not 3/1
- Northern Champion 4/1

- Catullus 7/1
- Avicenna 10/1
- Sunset On Leros 12/1
- Sir Albert 16/1
- Electrical 25/1
- Do Bronxs 40/1
Summary & Smart Play (Pro Punter View)
Strong pace likely, which brings stamina and soft-ground efficiency into play. Do Or Do Not sets the standard but Northern Champion brings the best ground fit + upside off a deep debut. Frescobaldi and Hankelow are the other high-ceiling colts hunting his slipstream; Catullus is the lurker from an ace yard.
Smart Play generated by Chatgpt
- Top Win Bet: Northern Champion – proven on soft, strong debut form, ideal set-up to progress.
- Saver: Do Or Do Not – class act dropping from G2; back to 7f, no headgear.
- Value Each-Way (double-figures): Avicenna – C&D debut winner with loads to improve; Listed rise but price compensates.
2:25 Doncaster – Carlsberg Danish Pilsner Flying Childers Stakes (G2, 5f, 2yo, Going: Good to Soft, Stalls: Centre)
Pace & Draw Angles
- Likely pace: Mission Central has twice dominated from the front at 6f; Lady Iman and Revival Power are naturally fast and can press; Havana Hurricane sits just off them. Expect a strong, honest 5f.
- Draw: Centre stalls on the straight 5f = broadly neutral; speed and track position matter more than berth on this ground.
Strongest Contenders
Mission Central (A P O’Brien) – Progressive (p)
Blazing wins at the Curragh (maiden then G3) suggest a rapid improver; drop to 5f should be fine for this quick No Nay Never gelding. Handles good–yielding; softish ground no issue. If he gets rhythm on the front, he’s the one to beat.
Lady Iman (G M Lyons) – Proven
Molecomb (G3) winner and very productive against her own age; Nunthorpe run is easy to forgive vs older sprinters. Back to 2yo-only 5f suits. Softer ground unknown, but class is potent.
Revival Power (Tim Easterby) – Progressive (p)
Tough filly who beat Military Code in the Roses (Listed); bred for real speed (sister to a Nunthorpe winner). First go with more cut but yard confident; straight, fast 5f plays to strengths.
Havana Hurricane (E J-Houghton) – Proven
Windsor Castle winner (5f) and admirably consistent; acts on good to soft and the strong pace looks ideal for his late kick. Rock-solid place claims.
Kansas (A P O’Brien) – Solid
Consistent and narrowly denied in Listed company; only 1-6 so far and a shade behind the main trio on raw ability, but should run his race.
Others
- Argentine Tango – best at 5f; likes some juice; Molecomb second reads well. Lowther blip at 6f—rebound possible back in trip; interesting at a price.
- Dickensian – admirably consistent but has repeatedly found Lady Iman/Havana Hurricane/Revival Power too strong; place squeak only.
- Killavia, Palmeira, Exclamation – big class hike / figures shy.
Runner Scores (suitability today)
- Mission Central – 8.5/10 (p): Rapid improver, pace weapon, handles ease.
- Lady Iman – 8/10: G3 winner back vs 2yos; ground the slight unknown.
- Revival Power – 7.5/10 (p): Tough Listed winner; track/tempo ideal; ground query minor.
- Havana Hurricane – 7.5/10: Strong 5f credentials, thrives off pace.
- Argentine Tango – 7/10: Back to optimum 5f with juice; value angle.
- Kansas – 6.5/10: Reliable but a notch below the top few.
- Dickensian – 6/10: Honest; hard to turn tables with principals.
- Killavia – 4.5/10: Likeable, but huge rise in depth.
- Palmeira – 4.5/10: Maiden; needs another leap.
- Exclamation – 3.5/10: C&D winner, but figures leave him short at G2.
Keep an eye on the market for support or big drifts for runners making their 2nd start.
Private Tissue (Raceform Data)
- Mission Central 2/1
- Lady Iman 3/1
- Revival Power 9/2
- Havana Hurricane 11/2
- Argentine Tango 12/1
- Kansas 16/1
- Dickensian 18/1
- Killavia 33/1
- Palmeira 40/1
- Exclamation 66/1
Summary & Smart Play (Pro Punter View)
A strong, clean pace looks certain. That puts the spotlight on high-class speed that can either control or pounce. Mission Central is the fast improver with tactical dominance and no ground fears. Lady Iman is the main danger dropping back to 2yo company, while Revival Power and Havana Hurricane are tough, accurate yardsticks.
Smart Play generated by Chatgpt
- Top Win Bet: Mission Central – rapid G3 winner, likely best-positioned in a strongly-run 5f.
- Saver: Lady Iman – Molecomb winner; Nunthorpe run excusable; major class claims.
- Value Each-Way: Argentine Tango – back to 5f with some cut; Molecomb form ties in and double-figure odds appeal.
3:00 Doncaster – Betfred Howard Wright Doncaster Cup (G2, 2m2f, 3yo+, Going: Good to Soft, Stalls: Inside)
Pace & Draw Angles
- Likely pace: No absolute trailblazer. Kyle Of Lochalsh can roll on, Coltrane/Sweet William can sit handy; Sunway/Hipop De Loire typically mid-div; Tashkhan held up. Expect an even/muddling pace unless Kyle is allowed to stride on.
- Draw: Small field on the round course; position > stall. Being handy into the first turn is a plus.
Strongest Contenders
Sweet William – Proven
Class act here: won this race in 2024 (G/S) and second in 2023. Solid 3rd in Goodwood Cup; then 2nd in the Lonsdale. 2m2f looks his sweet spot, handles ease, and this lacks Kyprios/Trawlerman/Scandinavia. Quirky but ultra-reliable; the benchmark.
Sunway – Progressive stayer (p)
Leger 3rd over C&D last year; ½l behind Sweet William in the Goodwood Cup over 2m. Latest (hampered) at Deauville easy to forgive. New trip (2m2f) should suit on that Goodwood evidence; serious player if he stays as well as expected.
Hipop De Loire – Interesting
Best Flat effort latest Ebor 6th (strong form), then up to and won over hurdles at 2m6f prior. Unexposed as a Flat stayer; rarely runs on slow ground but has form on yielding. If the pace is even, he can creep into the places.
Coltrane – Solid
2022 winner; not quite the same horse but still capable (Listed win, good G3 placings). Place claims if ground holds at G/S and they don’t turn this into a sprint.
Kyle Of Lochalsh – Improver (p)
Career-best romp (2m4f, soft) at Goodwood in a handicap. Big rise in class but thriving and will stay every yard; could be the pace influence. Outside win squeak if he gets rolling.
Pendragon (3yo) – Promising (P)
Rapidly progressive in handicaps, strong on the clock and shapes like a stayer. First try beyond 14.5f and big class hike, but weight-for-age can help. Dark horse if stamina holds.
Runner Scores /10 (suitability today)
- Sweet William – 9/10: Defending champ, ideal trip, ground fine; slight quirks but class edge.
- Sunway – 8/10 (p): Leger/C&D and Goodwood Cup lines strong; if he stays 2m2f fully, he’s the danger.
- Hipop De Loire – 7/10: Ebor form solid, stamina angle; ground a small query.
- Coltrane – 6.5/10: Old warrior, place chance if pace even and ground not too slow.
- Kyle Of Lochalsh – 6.5/10 (p): Thriving stayer; needs to prove it at G2.
- Pendragon (3yo) – 6/10 (P): On the up; stamina/class test today.
- Oxford Comma – 5/10: Honest; needs a chunk more vs these.
- Tashkhan – 4/10: Wants much softer and old peak form; tough ask.
Notes:
- Keep an eye on the market for support or big drifts for runners returning from layoffs of 90+ days.
- Watch out for in-form sprinters returning quickly; they can be hot. (pace/turn of foot still matter in a tactical Cup)
Each-Way Angles (8 runners)
- Hipop De Loire – Ebor profile + step back up in trip; EW play at 4/1+ for place solidity.
- Kyle Of Lochalsh – If you believe the Goodwood figure, EW at double figures can pay if he gets an uncontested rhythm.
Private Tissue (Raceform Data)
- Sweet William 6/4
- Sunway 9/2
- Hipop De Loire 11/2
- Coltrane 10/1
- Kyle Of Lochalsh 11/1

- Oxford Comma 20/1
- Tashkhan 50/1
Market watch advised for runners making their 2nd start.
Summary & Smart Play (Pro Punter View)
Without the division’s big guns, this sets up for a repeat: Sweet William has the best blend of class, course affinity, and optimal trip. Sunway is the obvious danger on Leger/Goodwood form if 2m2f proves a help rather than a stretch. For place/value, Hipop De Loire is rock solid; Kyle Of Lochalsh is the pace wild card if they let him stride.
Smart Play generated by Chatgpt
- Top Win Bet: Sweet William – rock-solid standard-setter at his pet trip.
- Each-Way Saver: Hipop De Loire – Ebor form, proper stayer, fair set-up.
- Value Swinger: Kyle Of Lochalsh – thriving grinder; dangerous if controlling a steady–even gallop.
3:25 Salisbury – Dick Poole Fillies’ Stakes (G3, 6f, 2yo fillies, Going: Soft, Stalls: Far Side)
Pace & Draw Angles
- Pace: Anthelia, Spinning Lizzie and Golden Palace can all be on or very near the speed; Flowerhead is naturally sharp. Expect a true/solid pace on soft, favouring fillies who settle and finish.
- Draw: Far-side stalls; with cut in the ground, track position and getting on the better strip late matter more than stall number. Call the draw neutral–mild low.
Strongest Contenders
Awaken – Promising (P)
Albany (G3) 2nd to a top-class filly is the standout piece of form here. Shapes like 7f in time, so a stiff soft-ground 6f is perfect. Only “meh” part is her Leicester win was laboured, but her RPR peak is the race’s benchmark.
Bella Lyra – Progressive (p)
Ascot Princess Margaret (G3) 3rd, with that form holding up in G2s. Smooth traveler who finishes; soft is a small unknown but pedigree doesn’t scream a negative. Very solid Listed/G3 platform.
Planet Seeker – Promising (P)
Slow-burn debut win at Goodwood (6f) despite no cover; stable won this last year with a once-raced filly. Upside profile fits this race type; soft should be okay by Blue Point.
Anthelia – Proven speed
Four wins (mainly 5f). The York sales run suggested she was outpaced mid-race then stayed; soft 6f should help that. Class rise fine; soft unknown but workable.
Dandana – Unexposed (p)
Two novice wins then Lowther 4th (kept on). Blue Point can handle cut; softer surface may sharpen her finishing chance stepping into G3 mix.
Reimagined – Soft-positive sleeper (P)
Windsor winner on ground changed to soft; trainer bullish re: conditions. Numbers a bit shy, but the setup (soft/pace) could tee up a late rattle at a price.
Negative notes:
Flowerhead – big Queen Mary 2nd but yard flags soft as a worry; tongue-tie on, but downgraded on today’s going.
Spinning Lizzie – free-going and better at 7f with deep ground; back to 6f could help settle but must ride colder.
Golden Palace/Orion’s Belt – potential, but bare form light vs top trio; soft a question.
Runner Scores /10 (suitability today)
- Awaken – 8.5/10 (P): Albany 2nd is the key; soft/stiff 6f ideal.
- Bella Lyra – 8/10 (p): Rock-solid G3 form; soft a mild question, otherwise bang there.
- Planet Seeker – 7.5/10 (P): Big upside; last year’s template; handles a test.
- Dandana – 7/10 (p): Lowther 4th; softer may improve her.
- Anthelia – 7/10: Strong 5f filly; soft 6f could bring her stamina into play.
- Reimagined – 6.5/10 (P): Soft-ground tick; can outrun odds if pace collapses.
- Flowerhead – 6/10: Classy 5f filly but trainer ground concern; small downgrade.
- Spinning Lizzie – 6/10: Deep-ground ability; needs to settle at 6f.
- Golden Palace – 5.5/10: Likeable, but form shy for a G3 on soft.
- Orion’s Belt – 5.5/10: Talented but has not kicked on; soft 6f experiment.
- Azleet / Vishaka / Ourbren – 4–5/10: Big class rise/figures shy.
Keep an eye on the market for support or big drifts for runners making their 2nd start.
Each-Way Angles (13 runners)
- Planet Seeker – unexposed, right stable/pattern, soft should suit.
- Reimagined – explicitly soft-favoured; pace collapse scenario.
- Dandana – if the ground brings a step forward, she’s overpriced for a place.
Private Tissue (Raceform Data)
- Awaken 9/4
- Bella Lyra 7/2
- Planet Seeker 6/1
- Dandana 8/1
- Anthelia 9/1
- Flowerhead 10/1

Summary & Smart Play (Pro Punter View)
Soft ground + solid pace leans to classy finishers who stay 7f on pedigree. Awaken owns the best piece of form (Albany 2nd) and today’s test is tailor-made. Bella Lyra is the rock on recent G3 evidence, while Planet Seeker is the upside bullet from the right yard. Value lurks with Reimagined if it turns attritional late.
Smart Play generated by Chatgpt
- Top Win Bet: Awaken – Albany form, ideal conditions for a strong 6f on soft.
- Each-Way Saver: Planet Seeker – once-raced improver from last year’s winning yard.
- Value EW (price-dependent): Reimagined – soft-ground angle + likely pace collapse could suit.
3:40 Doncaster – British Stallion Studs EBF Premier Fillies’ H’cap (C2, 1m4f, 3yo+; Going: Good to Soft; Stalls: Inside)
Pace & Draw Angles
- Likely pace: Cape Flora has twice made all at 1m2f; Chilli Queen can go forward (made all at Kempton, track/press at Ascot). Warda Jamila led a steady one at Goodwood. Bosphorus Rose is generally held up. Setup: even to strong if Cape Flora commits from wide.
- Draw: Inside stalls help into the first turn here. Low/middle preferred. Cape Flora (13) faces a tricky ask to get across; Perfect Your Craft (2), Bosphorus Rose (5) and Chilli Queen (7) are well berthed.
Strongest Contenders
Cape Flora (dr 13) – Promising (P)
Front-running improver who bolted up at Leicester and then dominated a deep York 1m2f. Up 9lb and now up to 1m4f, which her pedigree screams. Ground unknown (all AW/GF so far) and a wide draw complicates the lead, but she looks a pattern filly in a handicap.
Bosphorus Rose (dr 5) – Progressive (p)
4 wins from last 5, including Catterick (soft) 1m4f and Thirsk 1m4f, both finding loads late. Carries a penalty but still looks well-in given the authority of her last two wins. Proven with ease; strong closer if the leaders overdo it.
Perfect Your Craft (dr 2) – Promising (P)
Lightly raced; won here over 1m2f (G/S) and has a heavy 1m win at Salisbury. Up 5lb but draw 2 and extra trip are positives. Unexposed and fits the historical profile for this race.
Little Dorrit (dr 10) – Promising (P)
Huge step forward when 5th in the Galtres (Listed) despite trouble. H’cap debut off 93 with scope to improve again over the same trip. Ground fine; just needs a clean run from mid-wide.
Chilli Queen (dr 7) – Progressive (p)
On a hat-trick (Wol/Kem/Ascot), latest a valuable turf 1m4f. Missed a run with a foot issue but clearly thriving. Soft/G/S untested, yet by Havana Gold (often okay with ease). Tactically versatile and well drawn.
Dangers/notes:
- Warda Jamila (6): steady pace merchant; more required up in class.
- Bowerchalke (5): AW spike; turf/Listeds on ease not inspiring.
- Spirit Of Jura (2): admirable but unproven on cut.
- Ryka (11): strong stayer vibes up to 12f; ground okay on pedigree; sneaky place chance.
- Kitty Furnival (14): exposed and poorly drawn; 5lb claim helps.
- Tafsir (1): soft no issue; arrives in form but faces better improvers.
- Bint Al Daar/Jujubella/Manara: need plenty vs these profiles/conditions.
Runner Scores (suitability /10)
- Bosphorus Rose (5) – 8.5/10 (p): Proven at 12f, proven with ease, thriving; well-in under penalty.
- Perfect Your Craft (2) – 8/10 (P): Unexposed, handles G/S/heavy, ideal draw, trip looks spot-on.
- Cape Flora (13) – 7.5/10 (P): Big engine & stamina pedigree; wide draw/first time cut the doubts.
- Little Dorrit (10) – 7.5/10 (P): Galtres upgrade; could be well-treated; needs luck from mid-wide.
- Chilli Queen (7) – 7/10 (p): On the up; ground question but setup suits.
- Ryka (11) – 6.5/10: Strong finisher at 10f; interesting at 12f; ground likely fine.
- Warda Jamila (6) – 6/10: Honest but needs a chunk more.
- Bowerchalke (3) – 5.5/10: AW form higher; softer turf form lacking.
- Spirit Of Jura (2) – 5.5/10: Progressive this year; soft query.
- Kitty Furnival (14) – 5/10: Fair; draw and mark tough.
- Jujubella (1) – 5/10: Reliable but ceiling looks lower.
- Manara (12) – 5/10: Prefers quick; stiff test today.
- Bint Al Daar (9) – 4.5/10: Out of nick; place at best.
- Tafsir (1) – 4.5/10: Ground fine; class ceiling.
Watchouts:
- Keep an eye on the market for support or big drifts for runners returning from layoffs of 90+ days.
- Watch out for in-form sprinters returning quickly; they can be hot. (less relevant here)
Each-Way Angles (14 runners)
- Bosphorus Rose – proven soft 12f closer; rock-solid place with win upside.
- Perfect Your Craft – unexposed, perfect draw/ground; strong EW at single-figs.
- Little Dorrit – H’cap debut off Listed form; price should be playable for places.

Market watch advised for runners making their 2nd start.
Summary & Smart Play (Pro Punter View)
The mix of fronts (Cape Flora/Chilli Queen) vs closers (Bosphorus Rose/Little Dorrit) plus inside stalls bias shapes this. If Cape Flora clears from 13 she’s dangerous, but the safer, ground-true angle is a finisher who stays 1m4f on soft.
Smart Play generated by Chatgpt
- Top Win Bet: Bosphorus Rose – thriving, proven at trip on soft, looks well-in under penalty with a perfect run style for the setup.
- Each-Way Saver: Perfect Your Craft – lightly raced, draw 2, ground/trip positives; strong place floor with win upside.
- Value EW (price-dependent): Little Dorrit – Galtres fifth screams well-handicapped; improvement likely on h’cap debut.
