Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (6/4 +0%) Nabati	1.5 6/4(+0%)	(4) Nabati 6/4, Made hard enough work of landing short odds back down in grade when winning a novice at Newmarket (July) by a head last time; top jockey at the St Leger meeting; effective 6f on good to firm; proven at this level, looks to be crying out for this 7f trip.
5	5 (5) (15/8 -7%) Rock Montreal	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(5) Rock Montreal 15/8, Yard won this last year; quickened clear cosily, promising effort when defeating more experienced rivals by 3l winner in a novice at Yarmouth on debut; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; debut form nothing special but Dewhurst entry should progress.
8	8 (8) (5/1 -11%) Forbidden Fire	5 5/1(-11%)	(8) Forbidden Fire 5/1, Ran to a very useful level, scored with plenty in hand when 5 1/2l winner in a novice at Salisbury on debut; effective 6f on good to firm; half-sister to same connections' high-class See The Fire, respected upped in grade.
6	6 (6) (14/1 -17%) Varzi	14 14/1(-17%)	(6) Varzi 14/1, Confirmed debut level, scored with plenty in hand when winning a novice at Pontefract by 3 1/4l last time; effective 5/6f on good and good to firm; more to come up to 7f now but it's needed at this level.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +27%) Engraved	16 16/1(+27%)	(2) Engraved 16/1, Overcame a slow start, showed plenty when runner-up beaten 3/4l in a maiden at Ffos Las only start; effective 7f on good; promising sort but this is a tough ask for a once-raced maiden.
1	1 (1) (18/1 +36%) Dandyman Dan	18 18/1(+36%)	(1) Dandyman Dan 18/1, Outpaced, rallied gamely, improved again up in trip when 3l third in Pat Eddery Stakes (Listed) at Ascot most recent run; effective 6/7f, acts on good and firm; steadily progressive, has plenty of experience.
7	7 (7) (40/1 +20%) Vega King	40 40/1(+20%)	(7) Vega King 40/1, Too keen upped in grade, well below form when down the field in Acomb Stakes (Group 3) at York most recent; in good form prior; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; bounce back needed, bit to find.

LTO Selection:

NABATI bumped into the subsequent Gimcrack winner Arapaho Gold when second at this level at Newbury in July. Charlie Appleby's colt went one better back in novice company last time and he sets the standard. Forbidden Fire bolted up on her debut at Salisbury and it would be no surprise to see her go well once again, while similar comments apply to Rock Montreal. Varzi is another to make the shortlist.

7	7 (7) (2/1 +20%) Donna Beauty	2 2/1(+20%)	(7) Donna Beauty 2/1, Still green, but improvement from debut run stepping up in distance beaten 6l in a maiden at Goodwood last time; sire sprinter, dam middle distance performer; chance if settling back down in trip.
6	6 (6) (5/2 -11%) Bearly Blue	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(6) Bearly Blue 5/2, Ran to form beaten 4l in a maiden at Nottingham last time; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; consistent so far, remains open to improvement.
2	2 (2) (11/4 +17%) The Thinking Man	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(2) The Thinking Man 11/4, Poor, didn't see out trip well beaten in a maiden at York only start; plenty of speed in pedigree; plenty of improvement needed reduced to sprinting.
10	10 (10) (10/1 -33%) Water Angel	10 10/1(-33%)	(10) Water Angel 10/1, Built on debut effort down in trip when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a maiden at Brighton latest; sire top-class sprinter, dam effective 6/7f; open to further improvement.
1	1 (1) (28/1 +44%) Cracking Toast	28 28/1(+44%)	(1) Cracking Toast 28/1, 22 Apr; 60,000 euros Kameko colt; half-brother to Delphinus, useful at 10f and Lope Y Linda, useful at 7f; dam useful around 7f; tough enough ask on debut.
4	4 (4) (50/1 +24%) Pivotal Star	50 50/1(+24%)	(4) Pivotal Star 50/1, Failed to beat a rival again down in trip beaten 6l in a maiden at Musselburgh last time; sire useful sprinter, dam effective 5f to 7f; major improvement needed back up in distance.
5	5 (5) (50/1 +38%) The Stony Baker	50 50/1(+38%)	(5) The Stony Baker 50/1, 7 Apr; 28,000 euros Dubawi Legend colt; half-brother to Smooth Silesie, useful at 5f; hood first time; looks an unlikely winner on first start.
9	9 (9) (80/1 +47%) North Coates	80 80/1(+47%)	(9) North Coates 80/1, Poor again, lacked pace over the minimal trip beaten 8l in a maiden at Catterick last time; bred to be suited by around a mile; hard to make a case for after first two starts, likely needs further.

LTO Selection:

DONNA BEAUTY was too green to do herself justice at Newmarket in May before improving at Glorious Goodwood over 7f when leading most of the way before weakening in the closing stages. The drop in grade and distance gives her a suitable opportunity to make it third-time lucky. Bearly Blue was runner-up at the latter venue on her penultimate start and has the advantage of a low draw. He's Readytorumble, in first-time cheekpieces, is feared most of the remainder.

LTO Selection:

Nyman struck at Thirsk last Saturday and he's entitled to plenty of respect, but a three-year-old has won this for four of the last six years and CELTIC CHARIOT gets the nod with that in mind. He disappointed when bidding for a hat-trick over C&D last month, but the slowly-run nature of that contest might not have suited him and this ought to unfold differently. Wield, Anthropologist and Quiet Resolve are others of interest.

14:01 Sandown (Class 4) 5f - 7 Run Speed Edge Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (1/3 +0%) Ivory Moon	0.333333 1/3(+0%)	(1) Ivory Moon 1/3, Quickened clear with ease overcoming trouble, very promising effort 3 1/2l winner in a novice at Chester on debut; trainer in form; effective 5f, acts on good to soft; debut form weak enough but looks useful, more to come.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +25%) Rapid Deployment	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(4) Rapid Deployment 9/2, Bit free but improved for debut experience beaten 4 1/4l in a novice at Newbury last time; off a short-break; speed in pedigree; likely capable of better for top yard.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +6%) Perfect Strike	8 8/1(+6%)	(3) Perfect Strike 8/1, Bit keen but improved from debut beaten 7l in a maiden at Newbury last time; sire a classy sprinter; in good hands and should be capable of much better.
5	5 (5) (11/1 +8%) Valdoro	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Valdoro 11/1, Taken on up front and did plenty early but improved for debut experience 3l third in a novice at Windsor most recent run; effective 6f, acts on good; plenty of speed so could improve again down in trip.
7	7 (7) (28/1 +0%) Sinova	28 28/1(+0%)	(7) Sinova 28/1, 27 Jan; Written Tycoon filly; half-brother a modest sprinter in Australia; likely best watched unless market suggests otherwise.
6	6 (6) (66/1 -32%) Warriors Chant	66 66/1(-32%)	(6) Warriors Chant 66/1, Colt by top-class middle-distance performer Saxon Warrior; half-brother to Schrodinger's Cat, very useful at 5f; dam smart middle-distance performer Singyoursong; probably effective 5f; worth a precautionary market check.
2	2 (2) (66/1 +18%) Igrok	66 66/1(+18%)	(2) Igrok 66/1, Bit free but improved from debut just tiring late on up in trip beaten 8 1/4l in a novice at Windsor last time; off a short-break; speedily-bred; plenty more needed.

LTO Selection:

IVORY MOON was really impressive when winning on her debut at Chester and although the penalty will make things tougher, the Cheveley Park-entered filly should be more than good enough to shoulder it on this occasion. Both Rapid Deployment and Perfect Strike have failed to see out 6f on their two racecourse appearances so may well do better down to the minimum trip, whilst Richard Hannon's Sinova warrants a market check.

2	2 (2) (40/1 +20%) Skewsby	40 40/1(+20%)	(2) Skewsby 40/1, Poor, never involved well beaten in a maiden at Catterick only start; sire very smart sprinter, half-brother to Mighty Afra, useful at 8f; major improvement needed.

LTO Selection:

She's Too Kool boasts plenty of experience and makes her first appearance in the UK following her third at Cork over 6f. However, she may prove vulnerable against the less-exposed DOVECOTE. Ralph Beckett's gelding went close on soft ground at Lingfield on his return before occupying the same position at Southwell and may prove a tough nut to crack. Lahan Kingman is respected too.

LTO Selection:

FINAL OBJECTIVE deservedly got his head in front at Thirsk before producing a career-best performance to finish second in the Gimcrack and while conditions will hold no fears for Hamad Al Jehani's gelding, he is fancied to gain some compensation. The Nunthorpe proved a step too far for Molecomb heroine Pershaada at this stage of her career but she merits respect back in her own age bracket, and so does Sale Shark, who finished behind Pershaada at Glorious Goodwood before claiming Listed honours at the Ebor Festival.

LTO Selection:

HAVANA SMILE has been reinvented as a sprinter this term and was successful over C&D in May. The gelded son of Havana Grey was a creditable third over track and trip under Toby Moore last month and if the newly-applied cheekpieces are able to spark some improvement, he should go close. Always Perfect has won two of her last three and makes obvious appeal from a 2lb higher mark, while Isle Of Lismore heads the remainder.

LTO Selection:

WEST TYRONE went up just 3lb for his latest success at Ayr and the four-year-old makes plenty of appeal in his attempt to back that performance up. Zambezi Magic caused an upset when getting the better of Meet Me In Meraki at Chepstow, although a 4lb swing at the weights is likely to see the latter reverse that form. Chilly Breeze and Condotti are others who are capable of a decent showing.

LTO Selection:

QUEENSTOWN finished third to the reopposing Caballo De Mar in last year's Prix du Cadran on Arc weekend. However, the latter must now shoulder a 5lb penalty and Aidan O'Brien's gelding can turn the tables. He powered clear of his rivals in the Irish St Leger Trial at the Curragh on his return last month and that freshness can stand him in good stead because some of these arrive on the back of a long season. Ffos Las maiden winner Winday is really interesting as he could have lots more to offer.

LTO Selection:

Not the strongest standard set by those with experience and it is newcomer MUST BE LOVE that is fancied to claim the spoils. The Gosdens can do little wrong at present and their representative makes considerable appeal on paper. She's a half-sister to the useful Superior Choice and will likely want a bit further in time, but this still looks a good starting point. Empress Jingu shaped with some promise on her debut and looks certain to progress. Watch out for Ghaiyyath Dream as well.

LTO Selection:

Several have decent chances, with the likes of the in-form Aces Wild and course specialist Roman Dragon noted for places high on the shortlist. However, TEMPLE OF ATHENA is still of relatively low mileage and is an attractive proposition now she is back on her last winning mark. Vintage Clarets, who won this in 2024, Baker Blue and Tricky Tel are also dangerous to underestimate.

The daughter of Walk In The Park is a sister to a winning hurdler and represents Gordon Elliott, who introduced the high-class Zanahiyr when he won the 2020 edition of this race. Misty Cove could be the pick of Gavin Cromwell's representatives, while Divine Believer and Captain Con also warrant close inspection.

LTO Selection:

Having conceded first run, SILVER LAKE impressed with her finishing effort when completing a hat-trick at York last month. William Haggas' filly has yet to taste defeat in three outings in handicap company and she may be able to shrug off a further 6lb rise. Ruby Wedding has scored on her last two turf outings and is clearly heading in the right direction. The Sea The Moon filly is feared most, ahead of equally likeable sorts Nochebuena and Salamanca City.

A market check is advised, with similar sentiments applying to Iron Curtain, but preference is for experience and BURNINGRINGOFFIRE is expected to have come forward plenty for a pleasing debut fourth at Kempton. Keep an eye on Waaqed too.

2	2 (2) (22/1 +21%) Whiskey Bent	22 22/1(+21%)	(2) Whiskey Bent 22/1, Improved up in trip when winning a 2yo race at Clairefontaine by 1 1/2l last time; effective 6/7f, acts on heavy and good to firm; progressive, conditions could suit but bit more needed now handicapping.

LTO Selection:

Having justified favouritism on his second outing at Kempton, CLIVE THE WRITER looks one to keep the right side of. The Calyx gelding scored with enough in hand to suggest that an official rating of 79 is workable and he edges the vote over Whiskey Bent. Dylan Cunha's colt opened his account over 7f in France last month and a further step up in trip could unlock more improvement. Tiora Time and Cilician are others of interest.

LTO Selection:

TWO COMMANDERS successfully stepped back up to 7f at Musselburgh and has the scope to make further progress. A 3lb higher rating doesn't appear to be too restrictive and, from a handy draw, another bold showing is feasible. Giant is adaptable regarding the trip and is another key player back over 7f, while Dublin Bay and Alfa Whiteburd also warrant close inspection.

LTO Selection:

RONNIE'S RASCAL wasn't done any favours by the winner when she finished second over an extended 2m6f here last month. That was a return to obstacles for the Willie Mullins-trained filly and she looks to be a work in progress. Dropping in trip could be a good move given she was clear of the rest in that event. Brave Lady was thought good enough to tackle a Listed race at the Galway Festival and must be feared dropped in grade here. Certosa and Rosarian are other interesting options.

LTO Selection:

Although foiled in her opening bid when a close-up second at Sandown, VICTORIA NIGHT impressed with her cruising speed. Richard Hannon's filly should relish this flatter track and she should put her experience to good use. Karl Burke has enjoyed a fantastic season with his juveniles and market confidence behind 750,000gns purchase She's Got A Way would need respecting, with Antonova also making plenty of appeal on paper.

LTO Selection:

Red Snapper arrives in good nick and brings winning C&D form to the table, which makes him of real interest. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if he continued on his merry way and completed the three-timer, but BOLD SHOUT might have something to say about that and he gets the nod boasting an attractive, unexposed profile. His third at Newbury was a solid effort and he broke through here the time before. Pull The Rug also warrants respect.

LTO Selection:

Huscal gained compensation for some creditable efforts in defeat when making all on the all-weather at Lingfield last month and is dangerous to overlook in his current vein of form. That said, a 4lb rise demands more of the four-year-old, which could leave the door open for PHILANTHROPIST. James Fanshawe's charge is racing off the same mark at his latest second at Kempton and reverting to turf holds no fear. Christian David continues to ease in the handicap and is a feasible alternative.

LTO Selection:

This is competitive, but LADY GORMIRE shades the vote on the back of a comfortable success at Catterick. The daughter of Lope De Vega made every yard on that occasion and could again be hard to reel in. Homestrait is respected under a 6lb penalty for her Haydock victory, while the hat-trick seeking So Sassy is another consider, despite having yet to win on turf.

LTO Selection:

TAKE THE FREE is on an upward trajectory and appeals after getting off the mark with a little in hand at Roscommon. That was only his fourth career start and his mark of 113 leaves plenty of room to manoeuvre now he tackles handicap company. Jupiter Du Gite went down fighting when filling the runner-up berth at Killarney on his last two starts. He is again a prime candidate to be on the premises. In The Minus and Luck Between Us also hold decent each-way chances.

LTO Selection:

Henley On Thames is progressing nicely and a 4lb rise for denying Super Tuscan in such a competitive nursery at the Ebor Festival appears lenient. Even so, this race is full of unexposed handicap debutants, including Tumishi, who made hard work of landing the odds at Ffos Las, and LAUNCH SEQUENCE. Karl Burke's colt made the frame at Glorious Goodwood before running with credit in the Convivial over a 7f trip that probably stretched him. An initial mark of 85 is definitely workable, although Pride Of Toledo, Beresford Gap, Sir Sirius and Baddaddan also start nursery life off handy ratings and form part of a long shortlist.

LTO Selection:

THE QUIET GENT almost landed a bit of a gamble at Brighton and has been given time to recover. A solid second that day, he's clearly well handicapped at present, gets Callum Rodriguez back in the plate, and has first-time cheekpieces fitted. Safari Dream likes it here and arrives on a three-timer following back-to-back Ffos Las wins so must be on the shortlist. Tenbob Tommy is noted as well.

LTO Selection:

Allegrino has been dependable and has won three of his last six starts. The son of Oasis Dream has only gone up 8lb since beginning life in handicap company and could still have more to give. However, recent Chester winner Dream Vega and the handicap debutant VANILLA SKIES are still much less exposed. The latter could be the one open to the most progression now she goes with a tongue-tie added. The daughter of Pinatubo can significantly boost her paddock value with a first career success here.

LTO Selection:

Corsican Caper's last win on the Flat came here in 2024 and he appeals off considerably lower, while Bollin Neil acts on a turning track and rates highly after a creditable second at Ripon 10 days ago. That was his first appearance since January and he is entitled to have come on for the run. Nevertheless, the vote goes to CASCADE HALL, who has held his form and has only ever won with Lauren Young doing the steering.

LTO Selection:

SHE'LL BE KEPT has burst into life this summer and supplemented a facile success here with a Roscommon triumph that was just as easy. Brian McMahon's mare has been hit with another 11lb rise, but must be stuck with. Walkingmayotomilan and Nothing Hectic struck on the same card here last month, although a bigger threat could be 2024 winner Cobra Queen because her last two starts have suggested that she is ready to capitalise on a comparatively lenient timber rating. Theflyingbee was a place ahead of her when runner-up at Downpatrick, but wasn't quite up to that standard at Bellewstown subsequently. You Make Me Smile's recent displays have hinted that her turn is imminent again.

LTO Selection:

Something Splendid was awarded a division of this race 12 months ago and returns on the back of a narrow Yarmouth triumph. A 5lb penalty does him no favours, though, nor does a 5lb hike for Pontefract winner Spirit Genie, and FANS FAVOURITE might have more room for manoeuvre following a 4lb rise for his Beverley success because he is still only a three-year-old. Almekarem is actually 1lb well-in, with a slight increase for his Epsom second not quite coming into effect yet, so he must be feared.

LTO Selection:

Courage Best produced a better effort when fourth on her nursery debut at Windsor on Monday and is one to take seriously. However, ABSOLUTE DIAMOND struck by a length over this trip at Chepstow on her most recent outing and it would be no surprise to see her go in again. Persian Land sets the standard with an official rating of 75 and is another to watch out for.

LTO Selection:

Del Corso saw a hat-trick bid hit the buffers at Newmarket last time and is capable of bouncing back given he is still of low mileage. However, this represents a step in class and TIPSY TIGER could be the way to go now he has the benefit of his belated seasonal debut to draw upon. Generally reliable, the top weight competes off just 1lb above his last winning mark, which came in this race under identical conditions in 2024. Molo Del Palazzo and Royal Poetry complete the shortlist.

LTO Selection:

STRAIGHT HOME was a progressive hurdler until spending a lengthy period on the sidelines and she blew away the cobwebs with a satisfactory third on her chasing debut at Tramore last month. With that experience under her belt, she is preferred to Carried With Love, who ran well in a couple of competitive events won by Cousin Kate and has joined Jonathan Sweeney ahead of her fencing career. Affinity Rock is a better chaser than she was a hurdler and her experience edge will carry her a long way.

LTO Selection:

AMILOC failed to land a blow when only seventh in the Lonsdale Cup at York last month, but he doesn't face anything like that opposition today and can take full advantage of this sizeable drop in grade. Lion's Pride is a dual Listed winner who goes for the in-form Gosden team and commands respect, while Quickthorn won this race in 2021 and 2024 and won't go down without a fight.

LTO Selection:

Two of LADIES WELL's four starts over fences have resulted in commanding successes, both at Killarney. She was raised 8lb for the latest of those wins, but Alan O'Sullivan removes a handy 5lb and it is surely best to stick with the in-form mare. The veteran Fr Gilligansvoyge came up short in his hat-trick bid at Wexford, but does remain of interest along with Roscommon victor Il Silenzio. Don't look past Las Brisas Boy, who could improve for a switch to the larger obstacles.

1	1 (1) (22/1 +21%) Eljowhary	22 22/1(+21%)	(1) Eljowhary 22/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; effective at 7/8f, acts on good to soft and AW; sold since latest effort, has 12f form in pedigree on dam's side, worth a market check on first start for new yard.

LTO Selection:

MISS GUINEVERE showed more when finishing third on her handicap debut at Newmarket and was kindly dropped 1lb for that effort. With the potential for more to come, she looks the one to beat. Scarlet Letter hasn't fired in three starts in maiden/novice company, but it would be no surprise to see her prove a different proposition now tackling a handicap. Next Guilian completes the shortlist.

LTO Selection:

LADY DOYANNE finished second to Ballybrittas at Wexford in July, but she had that rival over three lengths in arrears when occupying the same position next time.

Mo Ghille Mar tackles the larger obstacles for the first time having won over flights at Down Royal a fortnight ago and edges out Itsalonglongroad to be the pick of the remainder.

LTO Selection:

Neither Le Grand Retour or Gaelic Seer would need to be anything out of the ordinary to feature on their introductions, but it still looks best to side with IRON SWORD. The bay has produced a couple of really promising efforts so far, most recently when third at Roscommon, and any further improvement should suffice for a team that has been among the winners.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
