New Vickers Bet App Coming Soon! Irish EBF Novice Stakes (GBB/IRE Incentive Race)
Winner £4,860, 2nd £2,282, 3rd £1,141, 4th £571
2yo, 10 Runners
Flat,Turf , 7f , GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering)
Winchurch – 11/2 Bet365
Winchurch didn’t quite deliver last time after a slow start, but if the leaders set a decent pace, he could come into contention late on. He has the ability to bounce back under Alistair Rawlinson.
Call Me Harswell – 10/1 Unibet
Call Me Harswell was well beaten in his previous nursery outing, but the drop back to 5f could work in his favor. Jason Hart rides, and the Roger Fell-trained gelding might improve in this easier task.
Brazilian Belle – 9/2 Betvictor
Brazilian Belle was too keen in a tougher race last time out, but this step into nursery company should suit her. Connor Beasley is aboard, and she looks like a key player in this field.
Managing Director – 7/1 Bet365
After a tough ask at York on nursery debut, Managing Director should find this easier. If he can replicate his earlier form, David Nolan’s mount could go well over the minimum trip.
Captain Pickles – 12/1 Unibet
Captain Pickles didn’t seem to enjoy the step up to 6f last time but has shown promise over 5f. With Jason Watson aboard and a hood applied for the first time, he could surprise at a bigger price.
Bella Love – 5/1 Betvictor
Consistent without winning, Bella Love has placed in all four starts to date. She is making her nursery debut here, and with Shane Gray booked, she looks set to be a strong contender again.
Go On Rosie – 4/1 Bet365
Go On Rosie has been in solid form in recent nurseries, improving with each start. She’s up 3lb in the weights but is likely to appreciate the return to 5f, making her a leading chance.
Death Or Glory – 10/1 Betvictor
Not at his best in his nursery debut, Death Or Glory drops down in trip and weight, which might help his cause. Oisin Orr takes the ride for Richard Fahey, and a better performance is expected.
Tees Aggregates – 8/1 Unibet
Tees Aggregates got off the mark in a Leicester nursery in July but failed to follow up at Ripon. With a return to better form, he’s capable of featuring in the places.
Verdict
Brazilian Belle (9/2) is the one to beat after her recent run in stronger company, and this nursery looks well within her grasp. Go On Rosie (4/1) is another improving juvenile, while Bella Love (5/1) could offer plenty of competition on her first run in a nursery.

Flat,Turf , 6f , GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering)
Mayor Of Maghera – 7/2 Bet365
Mayor Of Maghera arrives on the back of a solid win last time out and looks ready to progress further. Under Rowan Scott, he’s expected to make a bold bid to follow up here.
What’s She At – 5/2 Unibet
What’s She At was impressive when winning last time, and her connections will hope she can repeat that effort in this slightly tougher test. Andrew Mullen retains the ride, and she looks a key contender.
Cymbidium – 9/2 Betvictor
Cymbidium has shown promise in previous races, including a couple of strong placings. With Jason Watson aboard, this David O’Meara-trained colt could be in with a chance if improving further.
Spanish Blessings – 25/1 Bet365
Yet to show her full potential, Spanish Blessings will need to step up on what she’s shown so far to be competitive in this field. With Harry Russell in the saddle, she could sneak into the frame.
Itsallaboutus – 20/1 Unibet
Itsallaboutus has struggled in recent starts, but a switch to the headgear and a drop in class may help her rediscover form. A bit of improvement would be required, but she isn’t without a chance.
Coverbridge – 10/1 Betvictor
Consistent without winning, Coverbridge has been knocking on the door in recent outings. Phillip Makin’s charge is well-drawn, and with Shane Gray aboard, she could go close once more.
Big Bug – 7/1 Bet365
Big Bug has been a model of consistency, finishing in the frame multiple times. Oisin Orr takes the ride, and the Martin Dunne-trained gelding is sure to be involved again if running to his usual level.
Law Degree – 12/1 Unibet
Law Degree has some respectable efforts to his name, though he’ll need to find a bit more improvement to challenge the principals here. Jack Garritty takes the ride for Tim Easterby, and place claims are possible.
Bebside – 16/1 Betvictor
Bebside has shown glimpses of ability but hasn’t been able to put it all together yet. This is another step up, and Connor Murtagh will have to extract further improvement to get him involved.
Sanbona – 25/1 Bet365
Sanbona hasn’t made much of an impact in his three starts so far, and while the step up in trip might suit, he will need to show significant progress to figure here. Connor Beasley takes the reins for Michael Dods.
Fuel The Fire – 33/1 Unibet
Fuel The Fire is yet to get competitive in his three runs and is a long shot here. Connections will be hoping for improvement, but it’s hard to make a strong case for him at this stage.
Testimonial – 20/1 Betvictor
Testimonial is another who has struggled to make an impression so far. The drop in the handicap might help, but Duran Fentiman will need to coax something extra from him to be competitive.
Verdict
What’s She At (5/2) looks poised to follow up her recent win, but Mayor Of Maghera (7/2) should provide stern opposition after a strong performance last time. Big Bug (7/1) could also make his presence felt with consistent form in the book.

2yo, 10 Runners
Flat,Turf , 6f , GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering)
Mearall – 3/1 Bet365
Mearall made an excellent impression when winning on his second outing and looks primed for another bold show here under Oisin Orr for Richard Fahey. Should be thereabouts once more.
Huscal – 11/4 Unibet
Huscal was a game winner last time out and is expected to go well again for Charles Hills. Jason Watson keeps the ride, and with further improvement likely, this colt commands plenty of respect.
Dan Tucker – 12/1 Betvictor
Dan Tucker made a promising debut when finishing fourth and should be more streetwise this time. Jack Garritty rides again, and a stronger showing could be on the cards.
Hundred Caps – 14/1 Bet365
Hundred Caps has shown steady progress in two starts so far. Julie Camacho’s colt could be one to surprise with further improvement likely, making him an interesting contender.
Mr Cool – 10/1 Unibet
Mr Cool has been consistent in recent runs and could put that experience to good use here. Andrew Mullen teams up with Charlie Johnston once again, and the pair should be involved in the finish.
Naana’s Sparkle – 9/1 Betvictor
Naana’s Sparkle ran well on debut, and Alice Haynes will be hoping for a step forward in this contest. Kieran O’Neill takes the ride, and the filly could have a big say if finding further improvement.
Night Emperor – 20/1 Bet365
Night Emperor has shown glimpses of ability in two runs but will need to show more to trouble the leading contenders here. Aidan Keeley takes the ride, and a strong pace may help his chances.
Sir David – 14/1 Unibet
Sir David has posted two solid efforts so far, and another step forward would see him challenging for a place here. Callum Rodriguez is back in the saddle and should give him every chance.
Teggy Lasso – 25/1 Betvictor
Teggy Lasso is making his debut for Craig Lidster, and while hard to assess at this stage, the colt could surprise. Rowan Scott takes the ride and will be hoping for a good first impression.
Beerwah – 12/1 Bet365
Beerwah’s two runs have been respectable, and she could be capable of more. Jason Hart will be looking to steer her into contention, and if everything clicks, she could make the frame.
Causin A Commotion – 25/1 Unibet
Causin A Commotion has struggled to make an impact in three starts, and while this looks like another tough assignment, she will benefit from Oisin McSweeney’s 3lb claim.
Double Parked – 33/1 Betvictor
Double Parked is still learning the ropes after one start and will need to show significant improvement to figure here. Cam Hardie is on board, and connections will hope for a step in the right direction.
Prosperitas – 16/1 Bet365
Prosperitas has shown enough in her two runs to suggest she could be competitive here. Harry Burns takes the ride, and with some further progress, she might find herself in the mix.
Whattimeshightide – 28/1 Unibet
Whattimeshightide made a modest debut last time out, but with William Pyle’s 5lb claim, she could improve in this second start. Whether she can challenge the leaders remains to be seen.
Space Raider – 33/1 Betvictor
Space Raider has shown very little so far, and a big improvement would be required to feature in this contest. Ryan Sexton takes the ride and will be looking to get the best out of the colt.
Miss Pocket Rocket – 40/1 Bet365
Miss Pocket Rocket has been well beaten in both of her starts to date, and unless she finds significant improvement, she is likely to struggle in this company. Connor Murtagh rides for Fionn McSharry.
Novamay – 28/1 Unibet
Novamay has shown little so far, and it’s hard to make a strong case for her here. Connor Beasley takes the ride, and connections will be hoping for a better effort.
Eye On The Prize – 40/1 Betvictor
Eye On The Prize is making her debut for Tim Easterby, and although hard to gauge, she may need the run to show her best. Duran Fentiman is on board and will be hoping for a positive first outing.
Verdict
Huscal (11/4) looks to have the edge following an impressive win last time, but Mearall (3/1) will pose a strong challenge. Mr Cool (10/1) is another to consider based on his consistent form.

3yo+, 10 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m 4f 8y , GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering)
Dakota Gold – 10/1 Bet365
The 10-year-old veteran sprinter Dakota Gold remains a formidable force despite his age, with strong performances this season, including a win and a close second. He could make his experience count in this contest with Connor Beasley aboard.
Mukaafah – 7/2 Unibet
This 3-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance, including a win earlier in the season. Though disappointing last time out, Mukaafah looks capable of bouncing back here with Oisin Orr back in the saddle for Kevin Philippart De Foy.
Hiya Maite – 10/1 Betvictor
Hiya Maite’s recent form has been hit and miss, but when on his game, he’s a threat to all. The 6-year-old has a solid chance of being involved at the business end with Kieran O’Neill partnering him once more.
Mythical Phoenix – 9/2 Bet365
Mythical Phoenix has been ultra-consistent this season, with several second-place finishes. Ryan Sexton rides, and although a win has eluded him recently, he is likely to be in the mix yet again.
Grant Wood – 5/1 Unibet
Grant Wood is another strong contender, having scored a win in his last start. David Nolan rides again, and the 5-year-old looks to have every chance of backing up that performance in this tougher contest.
Tough Enough – 25/1 Betvictor
After a layoff, Tough Enough returned this season without hitting top form. Antony Brittain’s 4-year-old will need to find significant improvement, but his earlier career form suggests he shouldn’t be written off.
Lir Speciale – 12/1 Bet365
Lir Speciale hasn’t been at his best in recent starts but has shown enough in the past to warrant consideration in a race of this nature. Jason Watson is back on board, and with a bit of luck, he could sneak into the places.
Kings Merchant – 4/1 Unibet
Kings Merchant, a consistent performer this season, arrives here on the back of a series of strong efforts. Callum Rodriguez takes the ride, and with his current form, he should be in the shake-up once more.
Midnight Affair – 10/1 Betvictor
Midnight Affair has been a little inconsistent of late, but with Oisin McSweeney taking off a valuable 3lbs, there’s potential for improvement. He’s certainly capable of better, and if things go his way, he could surprise.
Batal Zabeel – 14/1 Bet365
Batal Zabeel has shown some promise but has struggled in his last two runs. Shane Gray takes the ride, and connections will hope he can rediscover his earlier form to get involved in the finish.
Verdict
Kings Merchant (4/1) is the one to side with based on his recent form and consistency. Mythical Phoenix (9/2) offers strong competition, while Grant Wood (5/1) could back up his last win.

Flat,Turf , 5f , GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering)
Rajindri – 6/1 Bet365
Rajindri, a triple winner at this distance on both turf and all-weather, ran a solid race last time, finishing close behind a subsequent winner. Jason Watson rides, and she looks to have a strong chance of being in the mix again.
Tropical Island – 10/1 Betvictor
Tropical Island has been off the boil recently but is capable of better. With Oisin Orr on board, she gets a chance to bounce back, though she needs to prove herself over this longer trip.
May Blossom – 8/1 Unibet
Having bagged her first victory over 6 furlongs in her last run, May Blossom now steps up in trip. Although she’s up 6lb in the weights, there’s every chance she can stay 7 furlongs and challenge for the win.
Mereside Diva – 10/1 Bet365
A winner over course and distance earlier this season, Mereside Diva has been set some tough tasks recently. Callum Rodriguez rides, and if she returns to her best, she could make her presence felt in this easier assignment.
Triumph Of Peace – 9/4 Unibet
Triumph Of Peace was an impressive winner at Salisbury last time, in a race that has since produced several subsequent winners. She makes her handicap debut here and is one to watch as she steps up in class.
Princess Alex – 14/1 Betvictor
Princess Alex looked promising earlier in the season with two wins over this trip. However, she hasn’t matched that form since and will need to rediscover her best to make an impact here.
Get Jiggy With It – 7/1 Bet365
Get Jiggy With It scored over 6 furlongs at Redcar last time, showing a good turn of foot. Connor Beasley takes the ride, and although up in trip, she could continue her good form back in handicap company.
Verdict
Triumph Of Peace (9/4) is the standout contender following her strong win at Salisbury. Get Jiggy With It (7/1) also appeals on the back of her recent Redcar win, while Rajindri (6/1) is a solid each-way option given her consistent form.

Oleon Summer Social 2024 Celebration Handicap
Winner £6,281, 2nd £2,947, 3rd £1,472, 4th £737, 5th £367
3yo, 9 Runners
Flat,Turf , 7f , GOOD, Good to firm in places (Watering)
Haptics – 9/2 Betvictor
Haptics, who has not been at his best recently, makes his first start for David O’Meara after showing some promise in France. He’s won over this distance previously and could be one to watch if he settles well with his new yard.
La Pulga – 7/2 Bet365
La Pulga is a consistent performer who has been placing frequently without getting his head in front. A multiple turf winner who enjoys dictating races, this could be his chance to land another win if allowed to control the pace.
Pol Roger – 11/4 Unibet
Pol Roger has been knocking on the door, with a string of runner-up finishes. Stepping up in trip, his consistent form makes him a big threat, though he’ll need to show he stays the distance as well as competing effectively.
Reel Rosie – 11/1 Bet365
Reel Rosie hasn’t raced since October, and this will be her first start for a new trainer. With four wins on the Flat, she is capable but may need the run after her long layoff. A market check is advisable.
Didaar – 6/1 Unibet
Didaar showed his best effort over 10 furlongs at Doncaster but struggled to back that up in his latest outing. Upping in trip here, he’s worth considering if he can return to the form shown earlier in the season.
Furzig – 7/1 Betvictor
Furzig returned to form recently with a good second at Haydock and could be turned out quickly here. With wins at both this course and distance previously, he’s got each-way claims if running to his best.
Verdict
La Pulga (7/2) stands out as a likely front-runner and should be able to dictate terms, making him the one to beat. Pol Roger (11/4) is a consistent threat and could push the selection close, while Furzig (7/1) offers decent each-way value following his recent resurgence.

Al Muqdad – 7/2 Betvictor
A consistent sort, Al Muqdad has been performing well, finishing in the top four on all recent starts. He’s in good form and looks primed for another bold showing in this competitive handicap.
Cruyff Turn – 7/1 Bet365
While not at his best recently, Cruyff Turn has the ability to bounce back. He’s well-treated on his old form and could be a solid contender if he manages to rediscover that spark.
Bell Shot – 5/1 Unibet
Bell Shot is coming off a strong second-place finish and has been knocking on the door with consistent efforts. With good form behind him, he looks ready to challenge again.
Craven – 12/1 Betvictor
Craven won two starts ago but failed to follow up last time. A return to form would make him a live contender, but his recent inconsistency is a concern.
Animate – 20/1 Bet365
After a string of disappointing efforts, Animate will need a return to form to have any impact in this field. A bit of a longshot, but not one to completely rule out.
How Impressive – 25/1 Unibet
How Impressive has struggled of late, and while capable on his day, his recent runs suggest he’ll need significant improvement to feature.
Finbar’s Lad – 5/1 Bet365
Finbar’s Lad has been consistent and should be a player here with solid recent form, including multiple placed efforts. He’s knocking on the door and could go close again.
Challet – 10/1 Betvictor
Challet has been below par recently but is well-handicapped on past form. He’s due for a revival, and this could be the right spot to stage a return to winning ways.
Danzan – 10/1 Unibet
Danzan has been running in better company without much success. Dropping in class could help, but he’ll need to show more than he has in recent starts.
Patontheback – 10/1 Bet365
Patontheback’s form has dipped, but he’s capable of springing a surprise on a good day. His earlier season efforts suggest he can’t be discounted entirely.
Yaaser – 10/1 Betvictor
Yaaser has been putting in consistent efforts recently and is a reliable each-way prospect. His current form suggests he could go well in this lineup.
Kats Bob – 25/1 Unibet
Kats Bob has struggled in his recent outings, and while he’s been successful in the past, he will need to bounce back strongly to figure in this field.
Verdict
Al Muqdad (7/2) looks to have strong claims here, with consistent form on his side. Bell Shot (5/1) is another who could push him close, while Finbar’s Lad (5/1) offers solid each-way value with his reliable recent performances.

3yo+, 9 Runners
Flat,Turf , 7f 218y , GOOD TO FIRM, Good in places (Watering)
Scottish Summit – 5/1 Betvictor
The veteran 11-year-old has shown he still has plenty to offer, running a solid third on his most recent start. Scottish Summit should put in another strong effort, particularly over this course and distance.
Racingbreaks Ryder – 11/4 Bet365
Despite not hitting the mark recently, Racingbreaks Ryder has the form to be a leading contender in this field. The return to this trip could work in his favour.
Harry Magnus – 33/1 Unibet
After a long layoff, Harry Magnus needs to improve significantly. However, with fitness likely on his side after his recent run, he could surprise a few with a better performance this time.
Musical Mystery – 5/1 Bet365
Musical Mystery arrives in good form, having landed a win last time out. If he can replicate that effort, he should be right in the mix for this.
Prairie Falcon – 8/1 Betvictor
Though not winning since last year, Prairie Falcon has shown enough to suggest he can feature here. His last run wasn’t far off the mark, and a bold bid is expected.
Desert Falcon – 11/2 Unibet
Desert Falcon has been somewhat inconsistent this season but has the ability to contest in this field if he can produce his best. His handicap mark offers some leeway.
Vince Le Prince – 12/1 Bet365
Tim Easterby’s charge has been a little hit or miss, though he was a winner two starts ago. If able to bounce back from his latest effort, he could offer some value at a decent price.
Al Marmar – 7/1 Betvictor
Al Marmar hasn’t quite lived up to expectations this season, but his recent third-place finish suggests he’s edging closer to a return to form. A potential player if conditions suit.
Capital Guarantee – 25/1 Unibet
Capital Guarantee has been out of form in recent runs and will need a return to previous performance levels to make an impact in this race.
Lord Rapscallion – 22/1 Bet365
Though his best form appears to be behind him, Lord Rapscallion could still spring a surprise on his day. However, he needs a sharp upturn in form to be competitive here.
Oso Rapido – 20/1 Unibet
Oso Rapido has struggled to recapture his best form this season. He may find this field tough unless he can dig out a resurgence in performance.
Verdict
Racingbreaks Ryder (11/4) holds a solid chance with conditions expected to suit him, while Musical Mystery (5/1) should not be dismissed after a recent win. Scottish Summit (5/1), with his consistency and experience, could also run a big race.
