Goodwood

Saturday, May 24, 2025FlatClass 45f

RUBY'S PROFIT looked all about speed when winning at Wolverhampton on her comeback and backed that with a fine second at Chester earlier in the month, so tops the shortlist in this competitive affair. Carrados ran well when close at Goodwood last year and showed his ability remains when making a successful return, so is most feared on his handicap bow, whilst fellow handicap newcomer Walnut shouldn't be underestimated from bottom weight.

    Verdict
    Got the better of a field of colts when making a winning debut in Ascot last May and again showed plenty when 4½ lengths sixth of 24 to Leovanni in Queen Mary Stakes (22/1) at the Royal meeting there (5f, good to firm) the following month. Worth betting check making handicap bow after 11 months off.

    Routed her rivals from the front on her return in a 5f Wolverhampton handicap and confirmed that improvement when a fine second at Chester (5.1f, good) 17 days ago. Test of speed should suit and she's a leading player.

    Verdict
    Bumped into a Pattern-level performer on his final outing at 2 yrs and didn't really need to improve to make a winning return in a 6-runner novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 28 days ago. Considered making handicap bow in first-time cheekpieces.

    Verdict
    Opened his account at third attempt in a Chelmsford novice (6f) in October before making a positive start to his 3-y-o campaign when third of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 32 days ago. Settled better that time but percentage call is others perhaps have a higher ceiling.

    Verdict
    Won a pair of 5f AW novice contests in December. Flying too high in listed company at York last week and though this is more realistic, he's perhaps a shade more exposed than some of his rivals.

    Verdict
    Reacted well to a first-time tongue tie when the ready winner of a 5f turf maiden at Lingfield last July. Allowed to leave Tom Clover's yard for 11,000 gns in the autumn but still rates a potential improver in handicaps for new yard.

    Verdict
    Quite useful early 2-y-o last year before his form tailed off. Stepped up on his reappearance when sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 25/1) 36 days ago but looks well exposed by now.

    Verdict
    Rumble Inthejungle gelding showed bags of speed at Wolverhampton on his debut and improved to make it second time lucky at Chelmsford City the following month. Makes the switch to turf ahead of his handicap debut and isn't ruled out from low weight.
