Betway Silver Bowl Handicap (Heritage Handicap)
Prediction Leader
Lake Como (IRE)
0%
Found serious improvement over 7f/1m on AW but, although running respectably, he's not transferred the best of that form to 1m turf handicaps on last two outings (good to firm/good); this stiffer track may suit.
Rest of field
Sir Albert (IRE)
0%
2-2 in nurseries last July (7f, good/heavy) and close Listed fifth at Lingfield (7f, AW) this February; has top weight in this hot handicap but 7lb claimer is recruited and the step up to nearly 1m may help.
Laureate Crown (IRE)
0%
Won on good to firm on debut; gelded before taking a small-field handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in March and he improved again to follow up at Sandown (1m, good) five weeks ago; launched late bids from the back for those 2026 wins, travelled well last time and could have more left in the tank.
Archer Royal (IRE)
0%
Won debut (7f, AW) and came third in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good) last September; however, he was last of seven in another Group 3 there (1m, good to firm) on final 2yo outing and beaten 10l in a conditions stakes at Kempton (1m, AW) on March reappearance; the latter was a hot race but today's first-time headgear for handicap debut needs to prompt a vastly better show.
Suspended Sentence (FR)
0%
Progressive once upped to 1m as 2yo, winning twice (good to firm/soft) before his Listed fourth in France (soft); may have needed last month's comeback run in the race won by Laureate Crown at Sandown (1m, good to firm; 14-1 from 20-1) but he's not obviously well treated.
Synners Kid (IRE)
0%
Won nursery debut for Joseph O'Brien at Naas (1m, yielding to soft) last September and easily followed up at Bellewstown (1m, soft), both in a tongue-tie; having shot up the weights he reappeared with sixth of ten when 66-1 for stable debut at Ascot (7f, good) three weeks ago, which is his highest rating; could build on that (as he needs to) with tongue-tie reapplied this time.
Daydreama (GB)
0%
Won two novice events last summer; easily best of his six efforts since have both been from well off the pace over 7f on good ground at York, including his second in 14-runner race 17 days ago; back up 2lb but has to be worth a go beyond 7f (dam 2m winner) and needs a second look.
Special Dividend (GB)
0%
Won last summer on first two starts (6f, AW) then kept on for third of 18 in nursery at York (7f, good to firm) that worked out nicely; well beaten in Newmarket Group 3 (7f, good) on final 2yo start, which was followed by wind and gelding operations this March; also now has a first-time tongue-tie; needs to resume improvement in a major way.
Princling (GB)
0%
Runner-up last October on both 2yo starts (7f, AW/good), on the second occasion in a novice at Newmarket that has worked out very well; reappeared with a ready win at 1-4 in Wetherby novice (1m, good to firm) and there's every chance that this unexposed colt will be better than today's opening mark.
Langstone (GB)
0%
Gelded after debut and has left sole that 2yo run (6f, soft) well behind him by winning novice events at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) and Kempton (7f, AW) this spring; did well to score with strong finish last time, having been carried left; promising and probably has an advantageous mark for this handicap debut, especially now upped in trip.
Crest Of Fire (IRE)
0%
Made the running when beaten a neck on nursery debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September, which was the second leg of a four-timer for the winner; reappeared with an easy 10l win at 2-5 in a maiden at Southwell (1m, AW; made all) in March and looks well treated today, given that his mark is unaltered since that win.
Inishbeg (IRE)
0%
Fourth attempt when winning a Thirsk maiden (7f, good) in April; made most when below form on handicap debut at York (7f, good) 17 days ago, which can probably be forgiven from widest draw and he was second favourite that day; 5lb claimer is recruited for this hot race on first crack at about 1m.
Astrazar (IRE)
0%
Won Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, heavy) last September on seventh start, when going beyond 6f for first time, and he followed up in last-gasp fashion in valuable EBF Final at York (7f, good); denied a clear run when mid-division in handicap at Newbury (7f, good; 12-1) on reappearance and the step up to nearly 1m looks a very good move; one to note.
Blue Courvoisier (GB)
0%
Reappeared with close second on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) last month, followed by a respectable fourth of 11 at Ascot (1m, good; favourite); has had only four races but probably needs to resume improvement.
Sponsor (IRE)
0%
Tongue tied when showing significant ability on all three starts, on last two occasions taking minor honours in novice events at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and Newbury (7f, good); needs better on this handicap debut but these are early days and his stable has had recent 3yo winners.
Delinquent (IRE)
0%
Won 1m handicaps at Southwell (AW) in April and Hamilton (good; 6lb higher today) 15 days ago; that's two wins from eight starts and he should be a lot more exposed than most of today's rivals, but he was firmly in charge in first-time cheekpieces on that latest outing.
