1st (5)  (13/8 +7%)Lady Luzon |
13/8(+7%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lady Luzon 13/8, Pinatubo filly who has improved with each start to date, second of 9 in minor event (6/1) at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Plenty to like now sent down the nursery route. 1l second in Redcar novice last time and that form is working out well; player. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/1 -69%)Station X |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Station X 11/1, Hasn't progressed from his debut, only sixth of 9 in minor event at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 11/1) 26 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Rather underwhelming the last twice but a contender if tapping back into his debut promise. |
|||
3rd (1)  (13/2 -160%)J Street |
13/2(-160%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) J Street 13/2, Improved a shade further when winning 8-runner maiden (5/2) at Catterick (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Carries penalty. Makes handicap debut and fancied to go on progressing. Won Catterick maiden last week on fourth start; one to consider under a 6lb penalty. |
|||
4th (4)  (5/1 -82%)Kiss Me My Love |
5/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kiss Me My Love 5/1, Winner at Carlisle in June. Stiff task when 9¼ lengths nineteenth of 24 to Leovanni in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm, 200/1) 29 days ago. Makes handicap debut back in much calmer waters. Carlisle maiden winner; well beaten at Royal Ascot but respected on nursery debut. |
|||
5th (3)  (100/1 -733%)Triple Charged |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Triple Charged 100/1, 18/1, last of 13 in nursery at York (6f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Seems to be going the wrong way so needs a first-time visor to spark a revival. Tailed off on nursery debut at York last Saturday; transformation needed in 1st-time visor. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
There is a suspicion LADY LUZON is on a good opening mark given how well the form of her Redcar second has worked out.

1st (2)  (4/1 -45%)Stormy Pearl |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Stormy Pearl 4/1, C&D winner. Good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 5/1) 36 days ago. Expected to be bang there off the same mark. Two-time course winner who went close here latest; this could be an excellent opportunity. |
|||
1st (3)  (11/2 +8%)The Gay Blade |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Gay Blade 11/2, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 31 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. C&D winner who was a good third in this last year; every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
|||
3rd (6)  (80/1 -900%)John Kirkup |
80/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) John Kirkup 80/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good, 7/1) 12 days ago. Back up in trip with more required. Couldn't get into it at Carlisle latest but running well there prior; may not be far away. |
|||
4th (4)  (11/1 -144%)Redshore City |
11/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Redshore City 11/1, 6f winner at the Curragh in April. 12/1, good fourth of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) 8 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip and very much one to consider. Poor strike-rate but involved in blanket finish last week and can be in the mix. |
|||
5th (5)  (33/1 -175%)Rain Cap |
33/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rain Cap 33/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft, 12/1) 8 days ago. Blinkers back on with more needed. Something to prove regarding current form but worth a second look given his record in race. |
|||
6th (7)  (50/1 -525%)Global Humor |
50/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Global Humor 50/1, Unreliable sort who came in only fifth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 3 days ago. This C&D winner needs to take a big step forward. Not beaten far at Ayr on Monday but has won just one of his last 24 outings. |
|||
7th (10)  (22/1 -83%)Empress Of Bough |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Empress Of Bough 22/1, 7/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 108 days ago on her final run for Anthony McCann. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Something to find on form. Poor strike-rate but new stable is firmly among the winners; one to watch in the betting. |
|||
8th (8)  (66/1 -560%)Mr Trevor |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mr Trevor 66/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 16/5) 36 days ago. Others appeal more. Latest run here may have come too soon; good course form otherwise; could go well. |
|||
9th (9)  (50/1 -355%)Hard Solution |
50/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hard Solution 50/1, 4-time course winner. 9/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (5f, good) 16 days ago so needs to get back on track. Four-time course winner, but not shaping as though a fifth is imminent. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Two-time course winner STORMY PEARL has been knocking firmly on the door this season and is the selection ahead of Empress Of Bough.

(4)  (7/1 +50%)Barefoot Warrior |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Barefoot Warrior 7/1, Saxon Warrior gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 1¼m Dora Milaje. Newcomer in good hands but he'll need to be useful to trouble the previous winners in this line-up. Engaged 3.22 Thirsk Wednesday. 18-1 strong finish saw him narrowly beaten in a Thirsk novice (7f, good to soft) yesterday. |
|||
1st (3)  (1/4 +63%)Thunder Run |
1/4(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Thunder Run 1/4, Promising individual. Built on Wetherby debut second when easily going one better at Thirsk (1m, good) 15 days ago. Could be plenty more to come and the one to beat. Easily made all at Thirsk on second start and he's a bright prospect. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/2 -125%)Terre De Vega |
9/2(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Terre De Vega 9/2, Won a 7.5f newcomers event at Saint-Cloud and fifth in a Toulouse listed race for Christophe Ferland last autumn. A potentially useful recruit for the William Haggas stable. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Won the first of his two French starts; has joined top yard for British career; player. |
|||
3rd (8)  (100/1 -2122%)Celestial Wave |
100/1(-2122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Celestial Wave 100/1, Left her Beverley debut behind when a close third of 5 in maiden at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) 24 days ago but more will be needed to get off the mark here. Close third of five at Thirsk last month on second start and she's on the shortlist. |
|||
4th (6)  (100/1 -100%)Mix De Gris |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mix De Gris 100/1, Modest form at best in 2 starts 10 months apart. Hasn't shown enough on his two starts (1m/1m1f) to suggest he'll make an impact today. |
|||
5th (9)  (251/1 -26%)Pennymuir |
251/1(-26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Pennymuir 251/1, Beaten a long way in 2 outings in recent weeks. Has shown very little at big prices on her first two outings. |
|||
6th (5)  (251/1 -67%)Leveche |
251/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Leveche 251/1, Twice-raced maiden. 20¾ lengths seventh of 8 to reopposing Thunder Run in novice at Thirsk (1m, good) 15 days ago. Looks more one for the longer term. Big odds and beaten a long way on both starts. |
|||
7th (7)  (251/1 -26%)Royal Duke |
251/1(-26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Royal Duke 251/1, Down the field in maidens at Musselburgh and this venue last month. Booked for another struggle. Tailed off at triple-figure odds last month on first two starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The Karl Burke-trained THUNDER RUN has an exciting future based on his recent easy win at Thirsk and he is taken to follow up.

(6)  (12/1 +14%)Freedom Day |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Freedom Day 12/1, In first-time hood after 9 months off, possibly needed the run when sixth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 40/1) 17 days ago. Mark has eased further but more needed to take advantage. Lightly raced 4yo who continues to drop down the weights but needs to raise his game. |
|||
1st (3)  (4/1 -45%)Moonspirit |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moonspirit 4/1, Proved at least as good as ever when winning 9-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good, 15/2) 12 days ago, ridden more patiently under Tommie Jakes. Can remain competitive after a 2 lb rise in the weights. Got up in final stride at Beverley recently and just 2lb higher here; can be bang there. |
|||
2nd (1)  (5/1 -25%)Benacre |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Benacre 5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Soon back to form when fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm, 6/1) 11 days ago. Capable of getting involved as he drops back in grade. Has run well in defeat on two of his last three starts and drops back down in grade today. |
|||
3rd (2)  (20/1 -789%)Pisanello |
20/1(-789%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pisanello 20/1, C&D winner who returned to form when scoring at York in June. Backed up that effort when third of 9 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D (good) 16 days ago, despite having been left poorly placed. Major player. Won at York last month and good third over this C&D since; solid claims. |
|||
4th (4)  (100/1 -900%)Redarna |
100/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Redarna 100/1, C&D winner. Encouragement first 3 starts this season, but lesser effort when last of 17 in handicap (22/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm) 22 days ago. On a workable mark if leaving his latest run behind. 10yo; well beaten at Carlisle last time but showed previously he retains spark. |
|||
5th (5)  (100/1 -1900%)Tele Red |
100/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tele Red 100/1, Won 3 times last season and ran well after 8 months off when second of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 25/1) 17 days ago, beaten only by a low-mileage 3-y-o. Can give another good account. Three wins last year and runner-up on recent reappearance; could build on that latest run. |
|||
6th (7)  (66/1 -371%)Savrola |
66/1(-371%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Savrola 66/1, Failed to build on promise of seasonal/stable debut when last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, firm, 16/1) 26 days ago. Bounce back called for as he returns to this shorter trip. Caught the eye on last month's stable debut; backward step since but not discounted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Tele Red is a tempting option but preference is for PISANELLO, a two-time course winner who has been in good form the last twice.

11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cuban Rock 11/2, One win from 29 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good) 5 days ago. Can give another good account. Poor strike-rate but twice runner-up over C&D this summer and may well be in the mix. |
|||
2nd (4)  (12/1 -50%)Musical Diva |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Musical Diva 12/1, Won twice on AW at the start of the year. 5/1, again below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Edging back down weights but others more persuasive. Engaged 6.10 Yarmouth Wednesday. Some fair runs on turf this spring and has dropped down weights; might not be far away. |
|||
3rd (7)  (7/1 +36%)Kyber Crystal |
7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kyber Crystal 7/1, One win from 30 Flat runs. 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (5f, soft) 2 days ago. Something to find on form. Some fair efforts this season but needs a bigger run if she's to add to her sole win. |
|||
4th (3)  (7/1 -56%)Protest Rally |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Protest Rally 7/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in June. Another creditable effort when fourth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Pontefract (5f, soft) 9 days ago. Sound frame claims again. Won at Musselburgh last month and has continued in good form; can be thereabouts. |
|||
5th (1)  (15/2 -200%)Giselles Izzy |
15/2(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Giselles Izzy 15/2, Four-time course winner. 5/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this course (6f, good) 5 days ago, suited by way race developed. Leading player again with claimer on board. Four wins here, the latest last Saturday, and major player under a 5lb penalty. |
|||
6th (8)  (40/1 -1500%)Missterious |
40/1(-1500%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Missterious 40/1, 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good) 16 days ago. Has good chance if able to replicate that effort from basement mark. Clear with well-handicapped winner when second over C&D latest; 1lb rise could be lenient. |
|||
7th (6)  (100/1 -400%)Mews House |
100/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mews House 100/1, C&D winner. 7¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Protest Rally in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 35 days ago. Badly out of sorts this year so is passed over once again. C&D winner who has dropped down to a basement mark, but for good reason. |
|||
8th (2)  (100/1 -525%)Astapor |
100/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Astapor 100/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Again ran poorly when last of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago, slowly away. Needs to bounce back. Well beaten elsewhere the last twice but likes it here and could bounce back with bold bid. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
This could go to the lightly raced 3yo MISSTERIOUS, who was a clear second behind a well-handicapped winner over C&D last time.

1st (4)  (10/1 +0%)V Twelve |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) V Twelve 10/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Wetherby (10f, good to soft) 37 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Step back up in distance is in his favour. Won over hurdles in March; didn't run badly on the Flat latest but needs something extra. |
|||
2nd (6)  (14/1 -27%)Sycamore Gap |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sycamore Gap 14/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D (good) 5 days ago. Must improve. On a reduced mark but soundly beaten over C&D on Saturday and is now 0-11. |
|||
3rd (3)  (8/1 -357%)Humble Spark |
8/1(-357%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Humble Spark 8/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (6/4) at Newcastle (10.2f) 20 days ago. Arrives in top form and makes most appeal as he bids to make it three from his last four. Runner-up here last month, sandwiched by wins at Newcastle; leading claims. |
|||
4th (1)  (33/1 -230%)Purple Gown |
33/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Purple Gown 33/1, Scored over C&D in June. 5/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good) 21 days ago. Race might have come too soon last time but she's not the most straightforward. C&D winner last month; well beaten here since but that run may have come too soon. |
|||
5th (5)  (20/1 -344%)Ledger |
20/1(-344%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ledger 20/1, Course winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D (good) 5 days ago. Should give another good account. Two wins here in May (1m/1m1f) and rallied for third over C&D last Saturday; contender. |
|||
6th (2)  (100/1 -1900%)Can't Stop Now |
100/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Can't Stop Now 100/1, 17/2, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Back up in trip. Not discounted. Fair fifth at Carlisle last month but needs a bigger run if he's to return to winning ways. |
|||
7th (7)  (66/1 -1550%)Change Of Fortune |
66/1(-1550%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Change Of Fortune 66/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Good second of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, good, 4/1) 8 days ago. Worthy of consideration. 0-19 but runner-up off this career-low mark at Ffos Las last week; he's one to consider. |

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.
