Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Leeds Handicap

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
9th	1	1	Urban Road (G) V Placed twice back on turf in the spring. Below par in big-field York handicaps on last 2 starts but should find life a bit easier in these slightly calmer waters.	235009	Ray Dawson A D Brown	7	61.2kg	11 10/1
6th	2	3	Glorious Kitty (F) FAV Won handicaps at Ayr (1m, good to firm) and Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May. Another good effort when runner-up back at Ayr (7f, soft) 17 days ago and high on the shortlist.	112648	Lewis Chalkley M & D Easterby	4	61.2kg	4 3/1
2nd	3	7	Up The Jazz (G) Snapped a losing run going back to November 2024 when just holding on at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) 14 days ago. Only 3 lb higher but a follow up seems unlikely given his overall profile.	275250	Warren Fentiman R A Fahey	5	59.9kg	6.50 11/2
3rd	4	6	Poet's Dawn (G) P Veteran who capitalised on a career-low mark in good style over 1¼m here in May and added a 9f Musselburgh win last month. Latest sixth of 7 here (1¼m again) was a lesser effort, though. Back down in…	179300	D Allan T D Easterby	11	59.9kg	9.50 17/2
7th	5	8	Popeye Doyle (G) BT Two all-weather wins for Hugo Palmer last summer. Proved he retains ability when second in first-time blinkers at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month but not in anything like the same form at Carl…	6-02976	Jason Hart J Bedi	4	59.4kg	34 33/1
1st	6	9	Jesmond Dawn (G) FAV Scored at Newcastle (7f) in November and back to that sort of form when second over C&D (good to firm) last month. Respectable fifth of 12 at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) on Friday and claims if cop…	515066	O J Orr Grant Tuer	5	59kg	4 3/1
5th	7	2	Hopeful Joy (F) Modest form, making no impact in handicaps at Beverley and Pontefract on return in May. Needs to find improvement from somewhere.	23-7950	J Garritty M Walford	4	59kg	13 12/1
8th	8	5	Precious Spartan (G) Three C&D wins (good/good to firm) on joining Patrick Neville last summer. Never involved on Catterick reappearance in April. Absent for a further 3 months but his record here means he could bounce b…	3-98079	Rowan Scott P Neville	4	58.5kg	6 5/1
4th	9	4	Volenti (G) Has a basement mark to work with these days and his recent efforts suggest he may be able to take advantage of it before long, meeting trouble before staying on for third of 12 at Redcar (1m, good) 1…	433552	Cam Hardie B Haslam	7	52.6kg	23 22/1
