Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen and a very warm welcome to Yorkshire’s Garden Racecourse for our final evening meeting of the 2024 season!
It’s amazing how quickly the time flies by and we are already over half way through the season, with this evening’s fixture number nine of our 16. We still have plenty to look forward to, however, with the Sky Bet Go Racing in Yorkshire Summer Festival meeting next on the agenda on Saturday 20th July.
Looking further ahead, August is our busiest month with five meetings! The William Hill Great St Wilfrid meeting on Saturday 17th August is always a real highlight of the season and we’ll have lots of family entertainment on Family Olympics Day – which coincides with the Olympics closing ceremony – on Sunday 11th August and Bank Holiday Family Day on Monday 26th.
Our entertainment on the bandstand this evening comes from fantastic local artist Lily Worth, back by popular demand after previous performances. Wishing you all a thoroughly enjoyable evening of racing and we hope to see you again soon.

9.00 Chat Up Line (won off 60 down 7lb to 53).
SIEVIER (6.50) & SHOP LOCAL (6.50) trained by J Channon, West Ilsley, distance of 213 miles.
EXPERT ELSA (6.50) trained by D & C Kubler, Lambourn, distance of 211 miles
FLAINE (6.20) trained by T Dascombe, Lambourn, distance of 211 miles
TRAMELL (6.50) trained by C Allen, Newmarket, distance of 172 miles.
VIOLET LOVE (6.20) trained by G Boughey, Newmarket, distance of 172 miles
ZAMAN DAAR (9.00) trained by Ismail Mohammed, Newmarket, distance of 172 miles
Violet Love sets a good standard but a double penalty for her previous wins puts her at a disadvantage in a race full of likely improvers and debutants. BRIGHT LILY and Little Lies appeal most from the rest with experience, with the former shading the vote after a highly-promising third over this trip on debut at Carlisle last month. Easy Peeler looks the pick of the newcomers.
WIN: BRIGHT LILY
DANGER: LITTLE LIES
Having shown consistencyacross herthree previous starts, ROGUE STATE offers strong appeal. With the promise of more to come now that she tries a mile, the daughter of Lope De Vega has every chance of getting off the mark on just her second appearance for Bryan Smart. Safio’s Princess and Path To Glory are others to consider if they attract significant interest on their debuts.
ROGUE STATE
After a brace of course and distance wins, Havana Prince is a strong contender despite the imposition of another 3lb rise in the handicap. The recent Beverley winner Makalu, who is also a C&D winner, is another key player. However, this can go to GARDEN OASIS, who has held his form well and the topweight should appreciate returning to this grade after a second at Carlisle last month.
WIN: GARDEN OASIS DANGER: HAVANA PRINCE
High Opinion struck by just under a length to record a double at Catterick last time and he has a 5lb higher mark to contend with in a much tougher race With that in mind, PADDY’S DAY looks the way to go after his second at Newcastle on his latest outing. The four-year-old looks well placed to get his head back in front. Albegone is another to note after his fifth at Thirsk.
HIGH OPINION
BARAFUNDLE BAY beat Kinetic (third) by over four lengths on her handicap debut in this grade at Windsor last time. The daughter of Dartmouth could have any amount of improvement to come and is difficult to oppose. Sea La Venus has only shown fair form in her three starts to date, but she could prove a different proposition on her handicap debut with Tom Marquand booked. Rubio De Oro is also noted. WIN: BARAFUNDLE BAY
SEA LAVENUS
Wichahpi continued her solid form when finishing second in this grade at Doncaster on her latest outing and she only has a 2lb higher mark to contend with. However, JESMOND DAWN looks the one to be on. The son of Dawn Approach appreciated the drop down in trip when beating a few of these at this level at Redcar last month. Grant Tuer’s three-year-old looks to have lots going for him, while Socialise cannot be overlooked. WIN: JESMOND DAWN

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability
The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).
The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

The vote goes to newcomer MONTANA GIRL, who looks the part on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour Fellow newcomer Flaine represents a yard that has saddled the winner of this race twice in recent years and she is second choice ahead of Bright Lily, who made an encouraging start to her career at Carlisle. Little Lies and Harvesting are both open to improvement, too, and need a second look.

This one mile contest for fillies and mares aged three to five-years-old is a maiden stakes - a race for horses that have yet to record a racecourse victory There are a variety of reasons why the older horses in this race could still be maidens. Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s early career

This is a one mile handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 51 to 70 In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

There was much to like about the way MAKALU went about his business when scoring at Beverley last month and he looks capable of following up off this 4lb higher mark. The selection may have most to fear from the hat-trick seeking Havana Prince, who is 2-2 over this C&D and remains on a plausible mark. Garden Oasis is something of a course specialist and should be on the premises.

Owner: Mr D. Padgett
Trainer: Paul Midgley, Westow
This is a five furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 59 to 78. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.

Owner: Sunderland Holding Inc.
Trainer: William Haggas, Newmarket
Sponsor: Somerville Lodge Ltd
This is a one mile and four furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 46 to 60. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb.

SEA LA VENUS has showed a bit to date and is bred to be much better than a mark of 62, so she’s worth a chance to make a successful handicap debut at the possible expense of Barafundle Bay, who opened her account in ready fashion at Windsor recently Godsend likely has a bigger effort in him, so he’s feared, too.

WICHAHPI did well to maintain her effort (made the running into a headwind) when second at Doncaster last time and she’s unlikely to be seriously pressured for the lead here, so she’s the one to side with. Jesmond Dawn was quite impressive on his first go at this trip last time, so he’s the obvious threat, with Louella not ruled out.
