CHEPSTOW (subject to inspection)
3:50 Jenkinsons Caterers Welcome To Chepstow Racecourse Handicap, Class 5, 1m 2d 36y
Roodolph (4/1) was without a win in 2007, but put up a solid effort to score at Yarmouth last time. 5lb raise in the weights seems fair. However, best efforts have come on quicker ground though so questions to answer on this going. Davenport (5/2) returned to form at Goodwood latest, staying on strongly over a slightly shorter trip. At home on slower ground, so still looks on a good mark despite 5lb hike in weights. New Star (14/1) has dropped to a potentially good handicap mark, but was never sighted in two runs in 2008 (albeit in…

3:50 Totesport Betextra Zetland Gold Cup (Heritage Handicap), Class 2, 1m 2f
First Buddy (10/1) won a fast-ground maiden and has been impressive in winning two handicaps from the front. Raised 12lb for latest success and this is far tougher, so worth opposing in race where he may not enjoy an easy lead. Jewelled Dagger (11/1) is a front runner who keeps improving and handles fast and easy going. Finishing clear of remainder when second over 1m at Ripon eight days ago and stays further, but the presence of other front runners could help sap his energies.
CARLISLE
3:25 Cleanevent Carlisle Bell Trial Handicap, Class 4, 7f 200y
Motafarred (11/8)
Apparently well treated under penalty as he’s likely to go up more than 6lb…

4:05 Re-Offer.com 1st June Breeze Up Handicap, Class 3, 7f
Plum Pudding (7/1) appeared to enjoy Kempton’s AW surface after struggling in the mud of Newbury’s Spring Cup. Disappointed subsequently form outside draw over 7½ furlongs at Chester. Handicap mark of 90 leaves little room for error, though Ryan Moore is an interesting jockey booking. John Scargill’s Big Noise (3/1) improved throughout last season with 3 wins and a second from 4 turf starts. Also runner-up on only AW outing. 7f appears to suit better than shorter, and must go close. Phluke (5/2) repeated his Warwick win of 12 months ago, earlier this month. A turning 7f suits admirably. His form is not at all progressive these days, but he will…

GOODWOOD
2:50 Letheby & Christopher Festival Stakes, Listed Race, 1m 1f 192y
The impressive 2006 St Leger winner Sixties Icon put up a far better performance in Newmarket’s Jockey Club Stakes, earlier this month. Well placed, going nicely, he cruised up to Tranquil Tiger running into the Dip, but was then almost immediately swamped by Getaway, who challenged on his outside and was soon on top. However, this was much more like it and must take the beating. Blue Ksar was a respectable 3rd in October’s Darley Stakes at Newmarket. However, he carried his head high when asked to assert and has a long layoff to overcome. Spice Route travels well through his races but does…

2:50 David Wilson Homes Stakes (Registered As The Cocked Hat Stakes), Listed Race, Colts & Geldings, 1m 3f
Trainer Mick Channon has won this event for the past two seasons and has two runners: Siberian Tiger (12/1) graduated from handicaps, claiming Listed honours at Pontefract last season, and a fine fourth at Newmarket back in handicap company last time. Plenty on at the weights and pedigree suggests longer trip may not be ideal. Meeriss (10/1) Regularly front-runs under Darryll Holland and nicked a Listed race over 1m here in September. Disappointed in similar company over this trip at Hamilton last week and looks up against it. Whistledownwind (15/8) just failed, by a neck, to peg back Centennial in Group 3 Classic Trial…

3:50 Siemens In Process Handicap, Class 3, 1m 100y
Richard Whitaker’s Nevada Desert (5/2), though out of sorts, has been slipping down the weights for some time, and is starting to look well- handicapped. Kevin Ryan’s Yes One (6/4) won a competitive 7f Thirsk handicap early in the month. Better over further, he nonetheless took up the running on a tight rein and ran on strongly. Evidently going the right way, but will need to defy a 7lb rise to follow up. Mick Easterby’s Fever (25/1) showed decent form for Richard Hannon last year but appears on the downgrade. Watching brief advised. Richard Fahey’s Princess Cocoa (4/1) has been a consistent AW…

3:00 Matthew Clark Fillies’ Handicap, Class 5, 1m 5f 22y
Mary Hambro’s Rose Dream (5/2) beat Spring Dream (5/2) by 1½l, here, in receipt of 6lb over an extended 1m 3f. There is nothing in it at the weights, both should appreciate the longer trip and it is a tough call between them. Spring Dream won this race last year when trained by Mick Channon. Mark Brisbourne’s Gamester’s Lady (7/1) has not seemed as good since returning from a long absence, but may have needed first run back and could well finish closer this time.
3:30 Matthew Clark Handicap, Class 5, 5f 161y
Richard Harris’ Misaro (6/1) put up a pleasing effort from…
