BetUK All-Weather Vase Apprentice Handicap
Party Island 1pt win only 7/1 – This ones record here over CD reads 4 wins from 6 runs and he now sits back on the same mark for the latest of those wins which came around this time last year. He won with plenty in hand that day just as he has done here over CD previously. Clearly saves his best for this track and is the sole runner on the card for a yard that know how to win here.

BetUK All-Weather Vase Middle Distance Handicap
Koy Koy 0.5pt EW 28/1 (Will Hill) – Has a little bit to prove returning from 3 months off the track and having undergone wind surgery. Hopefully it will have the desired effect and return him to the form he was in at the back end of last year. Won from just 2lb lower in November over a similar trip in a race that has worked out well since and was sandwiched between a couple of very unexposed subsequent winners next time out from todays mark which suggests there is still some juice left in this one. Has 7lb taken off by a claimer that despite inexperience should have a bright future ahead so the chance is taken from a mark which is effectively well below what we perceive to be his best at somewhere around the 95 mark.

BetMGM All Weather Vase Mile Handicap
Kalamunda 1pt win only 17/2 – Ultra consistent on the AW circuit and despite having gone up 15lb in the weights this season could still have another win at this level in the lockup. Missed the break last time out when upped in grade and still managed to run on for a decent 4th in a much deeper race than this. Eased in grade slightly here and has a big pull in the weights with a couple of these from previous meetings.

BetUK All-Weather Vase Marathon Handicap
Dreams Adozen 0.5pt EW 66/1 (4 places Will Hill) – Has something to prove having not beaten a rival in her last two starts, both of those runs however have come in better company and she has finished 1st and 2nd when tried over this trip in her last two outings in this grade. Connor Beasley has travelled down to Lingfield to ride just the two for this yard today and he’s been in fine form of late. Likes to lead but that could set this one up for the fast finishing Red Flyer but we remain hopeful of a place.

BetMGM Fillies’ And Mares’ Championships Handicap
Pasha 1pt win only 14/1 – Makes her stable debut and has been thrown in pretty deep for it too. I’m guessing that the yard has seen something to suggest that the drop in trip could well unlock potential that we are yet to see as they send her on a 500 mile round trip as their sole runner at the track today. Interesting that yard jockey S D Bowen opts to come here for this one over the yards runners at Lingfield and Chelmsford where he rides far more often. His record at this track reads 5 wins and 2 placed from just 19 so he rides the track well too.

BetUK All-Weather Sprint Handicap
Run Boy Run 1pt win only 10/1 + Golden Mind 0.5pt EW 50/1 – Run Boy Run went very close over CD last time out when narrowly being denied by todays favourite Marshman. He was only beaten a nk that day and has been handled far more considerately since. Reopposes here having been freshened up some 6lb better off at the weights and from what would appear to be the right side of the draw should give the fav something to think about here. Richard Fahey’s runner Golden Mind is more miss than hit but at 50/1 on a going day with a good draw represents excellent EW value here. Has the beating of one of todays market principals in Heathcliff over this trip at Kempton and a reproduction of that run would see this one go close at a massive price.

Watch Live Racing At bet365 Handicap
Call Glory 1pt win only 12/1 – Has done all of his running to date at 5-6f and this will be a first step beyond that. Has got stamina on the dams side of the breeding that suggests the step up will be just fine. Also shapes through his races that it could actually bring out a little more rather than hinder. Looking past his last run which was very poor he put in a very big run from a seemingly impossible draw at Southwell to finish just 1 length behind a twice subsequent winner. Should have more to offer judged on that evidence. Talented 5lb claimer has a 29% strike at the track too which gives a further boost in confidence.
