2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.
3. Timeform view and TFR rating
4. HORSE’STRAINER &THEIR LOCATION

BETTING EXPLAINED
Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number
Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.
‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.
‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.
Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.
Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.
Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

CASPIAN KING: Following its run on 3/8/2024 it was reported that the horse suffered accidental interference.
Probable S.P’s: 7-4 Wild Nature (GB), 5-2 Prince ofThe Seas (IRE), 10-1 Almeric (GB), 12-1 Sword ofWessex (IRE), 16-1 Paragon (IRE), 20-1 Caspian King (GER), 25-1 Stormy Monday (GB), 40-1 Love You Back (IRE), 50-1 Scarlet Moon (GB), St Mawes (IRE), 66-1 Hippocratic Oath (GB)
WILD NATURE and Prince of The Seas both found just one too good on their respective debuts in recent weeks and they look the pair worth focusing on here, with Charlie Appleby’s gelding selected to come out on top. Another interesting runner is Sword ofWessex, who shaped as if in need of the experience first time up at Newbury last month so can edge out newcomer Almeric for third.

ROCK D’ORO produced a highly promising debut effort when chasing home subsequent Champagne Stakes winner Bay City Roller at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago and, with progress anticipated, he makes obvious appeal if proving as effective on turf Cosmic Year has a smashing pedigree and Harry Charlton’s newcomer could well emerge as the chief threat, ahead of fellow debutants Keble Spirit and Quai de Bethune.

ELNAJMM: Following its run on 22/8/2024 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed.
Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Checkandchallenge (GB), 11-2 Elnajmm (GB), 6-1 Beshtani (FR), Cash (IRE), 15-2 Skellet (IRE), 8-1 Sean (GER), 9-1 Imperial Quarter (IRE), 20-1 Crown Board (IRE)
This has an open feel to it with CASH just about getting the nod as he’s sure to have derived plenty for his reappearance at Windsor and as a low-mileage 5-y-o, he may have a bigger performance in him. Checkandchallenge’s placed effort at York is probably the best form on offer so he’s a huge threat, along with Beshtani.

SMARTER
CARNIVAL DAYwas much improved on just his second run forJim Boyle when scoring at Brighton last week and a 6lb penalty for that facile victory doesn’t look sufficient to prevent him from following up Salamanca Lad comes here on the back of a very good Southwell second so should ensure the selection doesn’t have things all his own way, while Niloufar, Miaswell and Give It To Me Oj all need factoring in too.

UMBRIA shaped even better than the bare result when third in a Kempton contest that has already proven strong form and she is just given the nod over Rose Branch, who again looked at the top of her game when going close at Carlisle. Handicap newcomer Guendolen completes the shortlist.
