20 June 2026 sample day slate

14:47RedcarHijo De La Luna4.50LAY WON

Play note: He has yet to prove himself over this longer 1m6f trip, and the stamina question makes him vulnerable. His recent efforts have been respectable, but Rubellite and Tazaman bring stronger established staying profiles, so he looks a fair lay if the extra distance stretches him.

15:11NewmarketGoldwork9.60LAY WON

Play note: He needs to bounce back from a below-par run in first-time cheekpieces at York and still has to revive his earlier six-furlong promise. The return to 6f gives him a possible route back, but several rivals look more progressive and convincing on current form.

16:27NewmarketBluebluelectricblu10.00LAY WON

Play note: She needs to bounce back from a poor handicap debut and still has to prove she can reproduce her all-weather promise on turf. With several rivals arriving in stronger recent form, she looks vulnerable if she fails to step forward quickly in this fillies' sprint.

18:35NottinghamEquion7.20LAY WON

Play note: He returns from a five-month break with an inconsistent recent profile and needs to prove he is ready first time back. His course-and-distance record is respected, but the stronger current claims appear to belong to the main rivals.

19:30DoncasterWalson's Law8.20LAY WON

Play note: He needs to rebound from a weak Goodwood run and still looks on a stiff enough mark. His earlier Ascot third gives him some back-form, but this is a competitive handicap with several in-form rivals, so he looks vulnerable if the latest effort is a fair guide.

20:00DoncasterAnother Investment10.00LAY WON

Play note: His mark has fallen and he is a previous course-and-distance winner, so the back-form is noted. However, his recent form has tailed off badly and he has not shown enough current spark, making him a fair lay unless the old ability returns.

20:30DoncasterKurios Lady5.10LAY WON

Play note: She has been consistent enough, but she remains a maiden and still needs to prove she can turn placed form into a win. With an improving rival setting a stronger standard, she looks more likely to run well than necessarily get her head in front.

This was one of our better public proof days, so it is useful as a sample, but it should not be read as a promise that every day will settle the same way.

Reviewed PLAY

Settled result

11th of 11, did not win

Why it was a PLAY

  • The selected horse did not show enough recent-form protection compared with stronger rivals in the same race.
  • Private model and racecard context pointed to a vulnerable profile rather than a clear improving angle.
  • No clear protection cluster was strong enough to turn the race into a SKIP after the final review.

Risk notes shown clearly

  • The price still created real liability, so staking discipline mattered.
  • Competitive handicap shape meant the race was not treated as risk-free.
  • The result was counted only after the public result settled.

Result tracking

The settled result is added later so the same recommendation can be judged against what happened.

Settled sample result

The selected lay did not win.

Leadman won the race. Walson's Law finished 11th of 11, did not win, so the lay was a settled green result.
