Welcome to Salisbury Racecourse for the first of our three Saturday evening race meetings.
We last raced nine days ago when jockey Tom Marquand rode four winners; three of them for Newmarket trainer William Haggas. There were some nice horses in the 2 year old races and the Novice Stakes races, and it would be no surprise to see one of two of them appear at Royal Ascot next month.
Today features the EBF sponsored Listed race, the Cathedral Stakes, in its new slot at our late May fixture. It looks a very strong renewal today, and so initial thoughts are that the move to have the race a fortnight earlier, suggested by the BHA, has been a good one.
Shortly after the racing tonight our 90 minutes of music, courtesy of Massaoke will start, so please do stay with us, as it looks like it will be very entertaining and fun. The other two Saturday evenings with racing and music, are on July 15th and 29th. Please note that there is a change of personality for our event on the 29th, as Scott Mills has replaced Jordan North.
The directors and staff wish you a very pleasant event with us and we look forward to welcoming you back to Salisbury Racecourse soon.
Best Wishes

STAR RATING EXPLAINED
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: Selected to win the race
Good chance of being placed.
By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. Can be given little or no chance.
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
This has the stamp of being an informative maiden, with NOTTA NOTHER the most appealing debutant The son of Havana Grey, who cost €70,000 as a yearling, has an early entry in the Redcar Two Year Old Trophy and can give Richard Hannon some just reward on a very busy weekend for the team. Serried Ranks is penalised for a winning a three-runner race at Nottingham, so well-related newcomers Reveiller and Magic Force might pose more serious threats
WIN: NOTTA NOTHER
DANGER: REVEILLER
CLUEDO is noteworthy from the foot of the weights after an impressive display to get off the mark at Bath on her handicap debut The daughter of Kodiac won by five and a half lengths and it's hard to evaluate how much more she has to give. The handicapper suggests 10lb puts her in the bracket of a big improver and she could be too progressive for this bunch. Fair Wind and Estate are others to monitor in the betting, while Just A Spark is reliable enough to consider
WIN: CLUEDO
RACE THREE
DANGER: FAIR WIND
It's still early days for LEADENHALL and he can deliver on the promise he showed as a juvenile, despite him being turned over at odds-on in a novice stakes at Chelmsford when last seen. He ran too freely that day but has been gelded now so a more focused effort can be expected as he drops down a furlong. Okami appeals most of the remainder with experience, while Desert Voice and Bondi Bay are interesting newcomers to monitor in the betting.
WIN: LEADENHALL
RACE FOUR
DANGER: OKAMI
RUN TO FREEDOM, a C&D winner here last summer before finishing a shock runner-up in a Group 1 at Ascot, is better than he showed at Haydock on his reappearance and could take some stopping on the assumption that he will be sharper for that blowout Rohaan would be an obvious threat on his best form but has tended to need his return runs, so it may be that dual Group 2 winner Sandrine is a better alternative on this occasion, with Marbaan also respected.
WIN: RUN TO FREEDOM
RACE FIVE
DANGER: SANDRINE
None of these have looked convincing so far, including LADY RASCAL, who hasn't come close to living up to her 270,000gns purchase fee. For all that, George Boughey's filly offered more encouragement when third at Newbury on her handicap bow and may prove the answer to this tricky affair
Victoria County took a step backwards at Ripon but his earlier promise makes him a player, while Savvy Brilliance is a potential improver over this longer trip
WIN: LADY RASCAL
DANGER: VICTORIA COUNTY
Robusto has barely landed a glove on any of his rivals in his career to date, but he should be respected given he hails from the Sir Mark Prescott yard and begins his handicap career from a lowly figure. KHAL is perhaps a safer option, though, after his second of seven over 1m2f at Beverley and he should enjoy the 2lb drop in the ratings and this extra yardage. Papa Ricco is also noted.
WIN: KHAL
DANGER: ROBUSTO
This appears to be a competitive heat with plenty of live chances but the nod goes to CRESCENT LAKE, who was a good winner over this trip at Goodwood. Gary Moore's representative has been handed a 3lb hike in the ratings as a result of that effort, and that could prove lenient Seal Of Solomon has been in good form on the all-weather and he deserves respect, while Claritudo should also be thereabouts
WIN: CRESCENT LAKE
DANGER: SEAL OF SOLOMON

Race Summary: SERRIED RANKS only won a 3-runner event at Nottingham on debut but did so in rather taking fashion and is fancied to defy a penalty with further improvement anticipated. Mediate Alexander receives nearly a stone from the selection and is also expected to step forward from her first start, whilst Rockinthefreeworld perhaps makes most appeal of several interesting newcomers.

Race Summary: CLUEDO has been handed a hefty rise in the weights after a facile success at Bath last week, but her trainer consistently does well with similar types and it would be surprising if she’d already hit the apex of her progress this time. Handicap newcomer Fair Wind landed short odds last time and looks the sort to benefit from a strongly-run sprint, whilst Estate, after a brace of good efforts can make the frame again.

Stewards Note: BE FRANK: Following its run on 24/10/2022 it was reported that the horse was denied a clear run late on.
ICE COOL HARRY: Following its run on 12/5/2023 it was reported that the horse was slowly away and ran green.

Race Summary: OKAMI was well found in the market and perhaps needed the experience more than the betting predicted when a fast-finishing third at Southwell earlier this month. He’s taken to improve enough to get off the mark with that experience under his belt Leadenhall who shaped like a strong stayer over 7f twice as a juvenile can emerge as the chief threat, whilst William Haggas newcomer Desert Voice also commands attention.

Race Summary: SANDRINE appeals as the type to make a better 4-y-o and arrives on the back of a solid showing behind the classy Sacred in the Chartwell Stakes at Lingfield, so she gets the nod ahead of Run To Freedom, who should be spot on after a low-key return at Haydock. Rohaan is another one to consider.

Race Summary: ROBUSTO didn’t show much in 3 quick runs last summer but appeals as the type to leave that form well behind now handicapping given his connections.

Betting Forecast: 7-2 Crescent Lake (GB), Bashful Boy (IRE), 5-1 Claritudo (GB), 11-2 Seal of Solomon (IRE), 11-1 Percy Jones (GB), 16-1 Whimsy (GB), 20-1 Songo (IRE), 25-1 Wilderness (GB), 40-1 Sky Power (IRE), 66-1 Capstan (GB)
Race Summary: CRESCENT LAKE arrives on the up for Gary Moore so is taken to defy a 3lb rise in the weights for his recent Goodwood success and record win number three of the season. Seal Of Solomon is feared most on the back of his good Southwell second ahead of Claritudo, who didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when fifth at Chester last time.
