16:45 - Betway British EBF 'Confined' Novice Stakes
Paddock Notes
5 Galiyan - solid Galiway colt, muscular and powerful. Having a bit of a blow at everything, little inexperienced.
6 Sir Griflet - backs up quickly but doesn’t stand out on fitness; heavy set type
4 Maho Bay - big Dubawi. Not the fittest Godolphin horse seen in the last few days and will improve for whatever he does today. Quality individual though
3 Guildmaster - plain through the coat compared to others from the yard this week, but fit.
1 Amadeus Mozart - lovely type as you’d expect to see from the yard. Big chested Wootton Basset and has plenty of definition behind.
Paddock Verdict
Tricky race but like the 1 Amadeus Mozart. 5 Galiyan shouldn’t be dismissed either, has settled well. Not convinced on the fitness of the 4 Maho Bay.

Winning rider William Buick told Racing TV: “He’s a big powerful horse. Everyone was stepping up in trip bar him so we thought there’s no point messing around. He was comfortable in the Dip, kept extending, and did so again when he hit the rising ground.
“He should be able to build on that. I imagine he will be entered in a trial somewhere and we can see how he gets on before plans are made.”
16:10 - Rossdales Maiden Fillies' Stakes
Paddock Notes
3 Hassaleh - lengthy filly without much height, well tuned for the day and quiet demeanour
4 La Mariposa - slender and athletic filly, high level of fitness, good attitude
2 Eloquencia - probably one of the best Owen horses sighted this week, angular and athletic, physically forward
5 Pointe Bleu - raw and unfurnished still; having a good look at everything, will come on
6 Thursday Girl - might still have some growing to do, lovely way about her but still inexperienced
Paddock Verdict
3 Hassaleh best but 4 La Mariposa looks vastly overpriced based on appearance

Winning trainer Charlie Appleby told Racing TV: “We came in here confident, she’s a filly who ran well as a two-year-old but met with a minor setback.
“She’s gone under the radar but started leading a few of them at home, and they were struggling to get past her.
“I wouldn't want to put a level on her yet, she's done nothing wrong and learned plenty here.
“It’ll probably be a stakes race next. She shows a lot of natural pace at home and I think seven is her maximum for now.”
Paddock Notes
7 Venetian Prince - good looking individual, lengthy through the back, good level of definition after runs on the all weather
4 Hawk Mountain - big, imposing colt, still a little high behind and will keep growing. Relaxed to point of clueless, best of the O’Brien horses this week.
2 Commander's Intent - has quality and presence, keen in the pre-parade, and a touch green still. Fit and fine.
4 Hawk Mountain withdrawn
1 Avicenna - Close coupled and powerful, more of a sprinting type than a lot of these. Tuned to the minute.
5 Hidden Force - not a physical who would jump out, lengthy and presents heavy but suspect it’s just him (not sighted before). Quiet demeanour.
6 Oxagaon - powerful top line, well muscled. Has got warm but easily managed.
Paddock Verdict
1 Avicenna best

Winning jockey Oisin Murphy told ITV Racing: “Isn’t he beautiful? He’s the perfect model, a good mover, and a nice temperament.
“He showed a decent level of form and the lads have worked hard over the winter; he was very professional today.
“It was a genius move [to put the cheekpieces on for the first time]. They thought he was dossing in his work and it has switched him on without making him crazy, he was just focused.
“Hopefully he can go on now to bigger and better things. He will get a mile and a quarter in time, but he’s won a strong trial.”
15:00 - Zyn Abernant Stakes (Group 3)
Paddock Notes
6 Jasour - has tightened up since Doncaster. Busy in the paddock, but typical behaviour for him.
12 Time For Sandals - looks incredible. Has matured since last year, glossy in the coat, very tight. Nothing to dislike.
5 Elmonjed - one of the better Haggas horses seen in last few days, fit and well.
4 Diligent Harry - compact and keen, intended to go to post early, typical presentation, fine
7 My Mate Alfie - doesn’t appeal against a lot of these, lengthy through body
8 Prince Of India - very fit, showing benefit of a run already
10 Run To Freedom - shine to coat, still might improve a touch but by no means heavy.
2 Completely Random - might need the run again, lacking definition over hind end after short break.
11 Washington Heights - plain compared to some but that’s him. Fine, but no better.
14 Aspect Island - leggy, for a compact sprinter. Fit and well.
3 Crestofdistinction - very tense, two handlers. Tension would be a concern, looks overwrought.
1 Aramram - always catches the eye, good looking horse. Similar to Doncaster, hasn’t improved a considerable amount.
13 Beckford's Folly - has caught the eye at times last year, little plain in here for all he’s fit and ready.
9 Quinault - has got warm, which he can do. Moving wel as always, likeable enough.
Paddock Verdict
Plenty to like in here but it’s hard to fault 12 Time For Sandals who looks fantastic. 6 Jasour has come forward from Doncaster, worth consideration.

Winning jockey Rob Hornby told ITV Racing: “Fair play to Mr Candy and his team, for bringing an older horses here in the form he's in. He looked fantastic and I thought how strong he is before the race.
“Inside the three I was still travelling nicely, coaxed him onto it, and he kept galloping all the way to the line.
"Mr Candy is a fantastic trainer, with lots of experience, and there's a good team behind it – I'm grateful to all of them.”
Winning trainer Henry Candy added: “It's brilliant. I wouldnt want to be rude about it but it wasn't the greatest race was it?
“He’s been on good form and his rating said he’d be competitive.
“It’s a great tale. Godfrey [Wilson] who owns him – its his last horse – but I told him that he wouldn't be winning group horses at this age as an entire!”
Paddock Notes
4 Dark Whisper - a little tense and on edge, will learn plenty for the experience. Grey colt with size, might tighten up further.
6 North Beach - good demeanour for an inexperienced horse, lacking rib definition but looks to be a sturdy type.
2 Cosmo Brown - good looking individual, slender and has quality. Green in pre-parade, on edge. Needs to be managed.
5 Impierious - two handlers and edgy. Should come forward for the run, yards runners tend to present tighter.
3 Crown Knott - has quality, presence and professional for inexperienced runner. Long through the back, fit.
1 Bemersyde - quality horse from the yard; solid and sturdy. Likeable enough although might come forward a touch.
7 Portcullis - shine to coat and purposeful in the walk, compact but athletic. Likeable.
8 Santushti - very green, sweating an second handler added to keep hold. Would be a major concern.
10 Me An' All - has got warm with some inexperienced behaviour, big frame an will still grow into it.
9 Take A Chill Pill - tense at times, athletic as you’d expect to see from the yard. Fit.
Paddock Verdict
Market has this right, 3 Crown Knott and 7 Portcullis best pair - preference for Crown Knott. 8 Santushti a major negative.

Winning jockey Ryan Moore told ITV Racing: “I didn’t know much about him. He was a bit babyish, the pace was steady, but he grew into it. He’s obviously very talented, it was his first day and it probably wasn’t a deep race, but you'd be very happy with what he did today.
“He got into a nice rhythm, and I didn't want to break it as the pace lifted. It was an impressive performance”.
Winning joint-trainer John Gosden added: “He was last leaving the gates but picked up well. There goes the handicap mark!
“He’s done nothing wrong at home, but he's worked at home with the horse that was last [Santushti] – and he probably works better than the winner.
“We don’t know what the second and third were as they were all unraced.
“We will look at a novice next, carry the penalty there, and try to take a small step before a big step.”
Paddock Notes
12 Lebron Power - good looking filly, not overly large. Has fair level of definition but will improve slightly - similar comments to other Hannon horses over last few days.
5 First Legion - has presence and shine to coat; should come forward slightly
15 Albaydaa - two handlers but easily managed, looks in good order, likeable
9 Sayidah Hard Spun - strong in pre-parade with one handler, fit enough
2 Boston Dan - busy in the pre-parade without being tight, fit for frame, not overly big
8 Sir Alfie - a little plain in the coat, others make more appeal
6 Rogue Supremacy - fine in first time cheekpieces, race fitness shows
14 Sovereign Spell - has presence, fit and well, not come through in the coat yet
10 Advertised - will come forward for the run, has got warm
11 Ironwill - big physical, scopey sort with a bit of presence. Might need a run to take edge off, a little tense.
1 Song Of The Clyde - impressed as a two year old and appeals again, one of the better models
4 Treanmor - two handlers and held tight, can’t fault fitness but doesn’t jump out
3 Silent Applause - big lengthy type, enough definition but might come forward. Laid back.
Paddock Verdict
15 Albaydaa and 9 Sayidah Hard Spun best pair

Winning rider Rowan Scott told ITV Racing: “He had a light weight and did it well in the end – there are some more big days in him.
“He’s a big horse and he's needed this time to properly mature. It's good to get winners on the big days like this – I'm grateful.”
Winning trainer Kevin Philippart De Foy added: “He pricked his ears in front, we knew he was good on the grass and won well at Wolverhampton. His Doncaster form was very good, and he’s been in good form since the turn of the year.”
