Mokaatil lines up for his 15th start of 2024 and 87th in all, but it's the first sight of Hamilton for him. Not the least intriguing part of this run in a seller is whether if he wins, there will be bids and if he doesn't if someone wants to claim the nine-year-old.

27/06/24 – 2nd 10/1 – Myboymax – Micky Hammond – Hamilton Park
Myboymax has not been in the best of form lately and has lost some of his earlier consistency. Hopefully, Becky can get a good run from him off his much-reduced mark in this amateurs' contest.

27/06/24 – 1st 4/1 – Samoon Star – Hughie Morrison – Leicester
Samoon Star has so far not lived up to what we hoped she would be. Usually, the ground at Leicester is okay and while she has been disappointing, it would be even more so if she couldn't compete at this level.

25/06/24 – 2nd 9/4 – Mill Street – Ben Pauling – Newton Abbot
Mill Street comes here after four runs on the flat in the US. Connections thought it a good idea to send him here and we're hoping he can do well at his new job. Exciting days.

25/06/24 – 2nd 7/2 – Dear Cat – Warren Greatrex – Newbury
Dear Cat ran well on racecourse debut and will have come on a lot for the experience. Another positive performance is expected.

26/06.24 – 2nd 7/1 – Rating – Brian Meehan – Newbury
Rating ended last year with two excellent placed efforts and her comeback run at Newmarket was an equally encouraging 3rd. She hasn't gone on from that in two runs since, but the talent is there and she still has possibilities off this kind of mark.

22/06/24 – 1st 15/8 – Story Horse – William Knight – Lingfield
Story Horse runs in what looks a very ordinary race. I can't quite understand how I haven't managed to win with him yet, but I think this could be the day.

22/06/24 – 1st 100/30 – Red Hat Eagle – William Knight – Newmarket
Red Hat Eagle missed a bit of work before his last race at Kempton, so did well in the circumstances to finish 3rd. He wants fast ground so should be in his element here today.

21/06/24 – 1st Evens – Biniorella Bay – Tom Clover – Newmarket
Biniorella Bay is a nice filly that ran well on her debut at Lingfield. Hopefully, she will go close tonight.

21/06/24 – 2nd 9/1 – Invincible Song – Brian Meehan – Goodwood
Invincible Song is a nice filly who showed her ability when 3rd up there all the way on debut at Newmarket. She didn't quite get home there or at Windsor but back to 5f, she has a big chance.

21/06/24 – 2nd 12/1 – Bullion Boss – Nicky Richards – Market Rasen
Bullion Boss knows more about racing than either you or me. He is well, though, and might sneak into a place.

20/06/24 – 1st 7/1 – Jayarebe – Brian Meehan – Ascot
We have Jayarebe back to his Feilden form - Chester was something we had to take on the chin - but he's great again now. We go to Ascot today with two big chances.

17/04/24 – 3rd 12/1 – Kyle Of Lochalsh – Hughie Morrison – Ascot
Kyle Of Lochalsh would have been much better served if he had escaped the cut for the Copper Horse, but with no suitable alternative for a month, here he is. One mile six furlongs would have been ideal, I'm sure, but going another 6f in this tough competition leaves me less than confident. If he…

17/06/24 – 1st 80/1 – Rashabar – Brian Meehan – Ascot
Rashabar has run two good races. Nothing went right for him at Chester but he's been in great form since and this is his right spot. He'll run well, at far too big a price, but no doubt will be going over further later on.

16/06/24 – 2nd 11/2 – Forgotten Treasure – William Knight – Doncaster
Forgotten Treasure goes up to 7f. something I think she's been waiting for. The ground will be fine, they've had no rain overnight and it should be drying through the afternoon. She ought to make the transition from AW in which case she would have a nice each-way chance.

16/06/24 – 3rd 9/2 – Charencey – Ian Williams – Doncaster
Charencey won on good ground at Leicester last month but did less well under his higher mark there last time. It seems he wouldn't want it too soft but the overnight forecast would be acceptable. Decent chance on the earlier form.

15/06/24 – 1st 9/2 – Just Chasing May – Ben Pauling – Uttoxeter
Just Chasing May was in front for a long way last time here having set up a long lead. She had been headed but still looked good for 2nd when a faller over the last flight. She can make amends with a slightly more measured performance.

15/06/24 – 1st 11/2 – Holkham Bay – William Knight – York
I'm hoping the ground doesn't go heavy for Holkham Bay, who has the chance to go one better after two near-misses. I thought maybe Brandon went a little too soon at Ascot but he did nothing wrong last time, they were just nabbed on the line. Hopefully, third time lucky!

13/06/24 – 1st 7/2 – Atlantic Gamble – William Knight – Yarmouth
Yesterday's rain which turned the ground soft will help Atlantic Gamble. He won well at Kempton last time and if he can transfer that AW performance to turf he would have a big chance.

13/06/24 – 2nd 15/2 – Sugarloaf Lenny – William Knight – Newbury
Sugarloaf Lenny got outpaced a bit and then got caught in a pocket before staying on in his latest race at Windsor. If he gets a clear run today he would have a nice each-way chance.
