The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

JE NE SAIS QUOI was able to build on a promising debut effort, where she chased home a pair of subsequent winners, when landing the spoils at Thirsk 12 days ago. The Dandy Man filly can take another step forward for her in-form yard, while Master Franca, who finished fourth in a warm York maiden last month, appeals as the most likely danger. A winner at Leicester on his debut, Bits And Bobs must also enter the reckoning.

William Haggas' JE NE SAIS QUOI holds the edge on the form of her recent Thirsk success and with more improvement on the cards she looks the way to go. Newbury-third There's No Limit could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Leicester-scorer Bits And Bobs.

Thirsk scorer JE NE SAIS QUOI looks poised to progress further. The other winner, Bits And Bobs, is second choice.

COPPER KNIGHT might not have been at his best in recent starts, but Tim Easterby's admirable nine-year-old is now 15lb lower than when landing the corresponding event under Sean Kirrane last year. The Sir Prancealot gelding drops in grade and it would be no surprise were he to mount a serious challenge in defence of his crown. Vintage Clarets is considered following a forgivable effort in the Dash at Epsom, while Vespasian heads the remainder.

Plenty arrive with claims and it could just be worth chancing last year's winner COPPER KNIGHT. He's not been at his very best so far this campaign but the handicapper has afforded him a chance and a bold showing would come as no surprise from a handy draw. Vintage Clarets is a big danger, whilst Absolutelyflawless can't be discounted with a good pace to aim at sure to suit.

Off a handy mark and from a favourable draw, VINTAGE CLARETS gets the verdict. Second choice is last year's winner Copper Knight.

In an open event, it might be worth taking a chance on EVOCATIVE SPARK. First-time cheekpieces have the potential to make a difference over this new trip and he's on a workable mark if they hold the key. Cockalorum arrives in search of his hat-trick and must be respected, though a wide draw is far from ideal. Others to note include Sucellus and Box To Box.

Several in with a shout but preference is for BOX TO BOX, who won twice at this course this time last year and is entitled to be sharper for his C&D return last month. The hat-trick-seeking Cockalorum could emerge as the main threat for Roger Fell & Sean Murray, with Bizarre Law and Evocative Spark also fancied to go well. Last year's winner Jean Baptiste is another with serious claims if taking his chance (declared at York on Friday).

Granted a sound surface BOX TO BOX may well prove the answer off a handy mark. Bizarre Law is second choice.

Narrowly denied at Haydock last week under a positive ride, VENETIAN can be expected to employ similar tactics despite a wide draw. The son of Awtaad still looks to be off a workable mark and he is narrowly preferred to the progressive Sophia's Starlight, who arrives in search of a third victory this season. The relatively unexposed Tafreej and Saxon King are others to consider.

This could be set up for TAFREEJ, who's got a positive profile and remains the type to win handicaps off his current mark. Man of Eden has been shaping well in defeat of late and rates a big threat if getting the splits, while Royal Dubai could be smart.

Preference is for TAFREEJ, who should be suited by the slight step up in trip. Sophia's Starlight is second choice.

CAPONE has done well since joining new connections and his most recent effort over C&D, when third, gave every indication that he may be a winner in waiting. The first two from that contest have won since and the eight-year-old can follow suit, with easy Ayr scorer Grand Canal looking best placed to chase him home. Returning to the level after some uninspiring runs over hurdles, Malakahna cannot be ruled out either.

Not a particularly deep contest, with CAPONE fancied to build upon his fine C&D third and score for the first time since 2020. Percy Jones still looks on a fair mark and ran well at Salisbury last time, whilst Grand Canal is another serious player if able to replicate his Ayr form here.

He's back up the weights and has never raced at Chester but GRAND CANAL gets the vote after bounding clear over 1m7f at Ayr 12 days ago

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Three-time C&D winner ROMAN DRAGON is drawn well and has a live chance of adding to his tally of successes on the Roodee. He runs off 4lb lower than his last winning mark and dropping back to this trip is perfect for him after a couple of recent 7f spins. Ballyare runs off 3lb lower than when he won this race last year, but the selection might have more to fear from the in-form Ventura Express judging by the draw.

ROMAN DRAGON left the impression that he would be close to concert pitch next time when fifth at Haydock 3 weeks ago, and this multiple C&D winner is taken to add to his tally here back at 6f and from a favourable draw. The selection may have most to fear from Ventura Express, who arrives here at the top of his game. Cuban Breeze and Hello Zabeel are others to consider, while Faro de San Juan is also worth a second look having edged down to an attractive mark.

There are major positives for ROMAN DRAGON (nap), who is first choice ahead of Cuban Breeze.

Tudor is consistent and warrants serious thought in this company, while The Thunderer is likely to enter calculations, despite being burdened with another 2lb after a solid effort when second at Goodwood eight days ago. However, HAARAR has the scope to improve with a visor retained and, given he was unlucky to be short of room at crucial stage at Ripon last time, he could have plenty more to give off a competitive rating. Tio Mio completes the shortlist.

HAARAR gives the strong impression he has a bigger performance in him granted a truly-run race, and with his yard among the winners, he's just about the most appealing option. Restorer has plenty of form at this venue to his name and is dangerous given the mark he's dropped to, with Tudor another to note.

The Thunderer, Tudor and BOOKMARK were all runner-up last time and Bookmark may go one better today.

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.
