(5) Ray Vonn (12/1 -118%)
Ray Vonn

12
12/1(-118%)
(5) Ray Vonn 12/1, Fair maiden who matched previous best on stable debut when second in 9-runner Wolverhampton maiden (7f) in April. No excuses when third behind subsequent Royal Ascot winner Docklands at Kempton later that month but had wind op since and switch to handicaps a plus.
Consistent maiden; wind op since latest; tries a sprint trip for the first time.
1
1st (1) Level Up (12/1 -243%)
Level Up

12
12/1(-243%)
(1) Level Up 12/1, 3-time winner on AW upon joining this yard and belatedly confirmed himself as effective on turf when second at Windsor (5.1f) 2 starts back. Did best of the trio that went off hard when again runner-up at Chelmsford (5f) 2 weeks ago and he's not out of things.
All wins on AW but went close on turf last month and he's likely to be in the shake-up.
3
2nd (3) Symbol Of Hope (5/1 +0%)
Symbol Of Hope

5
5/1(+0%)
(3) Symbol Of Hope 5/1, Returned in rude health this term, landing pair of Bath handicaps (at up to 5.7f) and filled the frame both starts at that venue subsequently. Possible the handicapper has him about right but he should continue to give a good account.
Made all to win 2 handicaps at Bath in May; solid placed efforts twice since; shortlisted.
2
3rd (2) Penguin Island (6.5/1 -18%)
Penguin Island

6.5
6.5/1(-18%)
(2) Penguin Island 6.5/1, Remains a maiden but found only one too good for third successive start back from 7 months off at Wolverhampton (6f) in April. Probably best not judged too harshly on her subsequent Kempton fourth and this drop back in trip will hold no fears back from 64 days off.
Exposed maiden but ran well in her one crack at 5f and this could be run to suit her.
8
4th (8) Therehegoes (8.5/1 +23%)
Therehegoes

8.5
8.5/1(+23%)
(8) Therehegoes 8.5/1, Won at Windsor (5.1f) in June and maintained good form on AW subsequently, headed final strides having done best of those ridden prominently when second at Lingfield (5f) 2 weeks ago.
Two 5f wins this season and he went desperately close on AW latest; up in class today.
7
5th (7) Joy Choi (6/1 +50%)
Joy Choi

6
6/1(+50%)
(7) Joy Choi 6/1, Winless last season and she failed to take a step forward from comeback run when eighth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, heavy) in April. Absent since but better showing not ruled out from career-low mark with yard amongst the winners.
Poor strike-rate and didn't get home in two 6f runs in April; first crack at 5f today.
6
6th (6) Bluebell Time (6/1 +33%)
Bluebell Time

6
6/1(+33%)
(6) Bluebell Time 6/1, Tasted success on return at Bath (5f) last spring but essentially operated below best thereafter. Mark has eased plenty as a result and not disgraced when fifth in 13-runner Chepstow handicap (5f) in May.
On a handy mark and her last two runs haven't been too bad; one of the likelier winners.
11
7th (11) Get Off Me (12/1 +0%)
Get Off Me

12
12/1(+0%)
(11) Get Off Me 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 4 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago, weakening before final 1f. Handicap debut effort at that venue previously contained a bit more promise and it does remain early days with him. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
Promise on h'cap debut (5f, AW) but took a backward step over 6f last time; headgear now.
4
8th (4) Secret Handsheikh (4.5/1 +63%)
Secret Handsheikh

4.5
4.5/1(+63%)
(4) Secret Handsheikh 4.5/1, Successful at Brighton in April but well below that level all 3 starts since, eighth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (5f) 3 weeks ago.
Brighton win off 1lb lower in April; 3rd in this race last year; revival could be on cards.
9
9th (9) Don't Fight It (40/1 -21%)
Don't Fight It

40
40/1(-21%)
(9) Don't Fight It 40/1, Dual 5f winner at 2 yrs for Keith Dalgleish but not yet scaled same heights for present stable, including back from 5 months off when sixth in 8-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f) in May.
Won two nurseries last summer; has not hit the same heights in two runs for current stable.
10
10th (10) Hey Ho Let's Go (25/1 -79%)
Hey Ho Let's Go

25
25/1(-79%)
(10) Hey Ho Let's Go 25/1, 3-time winner last year, including in this race from a mark in the 60's. Been operating below best on turf/AW so far this campaign though, so not the easiest to weigh up at present.
Won this race 12 months ago but in good form at the time; that's not the case in 2023.
LTO Selection:

17:05 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Symbol of Hope and Level Up both merit plenty of respect given their recent performances, but those efforts do show that they are vulnerable off their current marks. With that in mind, preference is for BLUEBELL TIME, who was not beaten far at Chepstow and catches the eye off a 2lb lower rating. Ray Vonn is another to note on his return from a wind operation.

This has a wide-open feel and it could be worth siding with PENGUIN ISLAND. She's gone close from similar marks previously and with the return to the minimum trip holding no fears on the back of a short break, it would come as no surprise to see make a bold bid. Symbol of Hope has been in good heart at Bath and is a threat, with Ray Vonn one to monitor also. Level Up completes the shortlist.

Level Up should go well in this bid to break his turf duck but BLUEBELL TIME may be ready to exploit her reduced mark.

1st (8) Miss Show Off (4/1 +0%)
Miss Show Off

4
4/1(+0%)
(8) Miss Show Off 4/1, Appealing pedigree, but having gone close on debut at Sandown (5f) that form hasn't worked out and she didn't do much for it when held at Nottingham 4 weeks ago. Looks vulnerable now.
Went close on debut before finishing well held behind the subsequent Queen Mary third.
1
2nd (1) Al Hujaija (20/1 -67%)
Al Hujaija

20
20/1(-67%)
(1) Al Hujaija 20/1, 60,000 gns yearling, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to 1m-1¼m winner Hathlool. Easy to back but showed a fair bit on debut at Haydock (6f) behind a very promising one 3 weeks ago, travelling well. Will improve, possibly markedly so.
9-2 at Haydock (6f, good to firm) but she was slowly away and then ran green throughout.
5
3rd (5) Leaves Of Grass (28/1 -27%)
Leaves Of Grass

28
28/1(-27%)
(5) Leaves Of Grass 28/1, Foaled May 17. Invincible Spirit filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart 1m winner Western Reserve out of smart winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner) (stayed 1¼m) Visit. Wears hood. 1 of 2 for in-form yard and wouldn't dismiss on debut.
Hood fitted for debut and looks the stable second string on jockey bookings.

Magic Light

10
10/1(-43%)
(6) Magic Light 10/1, Foaled March 7. €40,000 foal, Dandy Man filly. Half-sister to 1m/8.3f winner Party Fears Too. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Firey Red out of 8.5f winner Step With Style. Yard can ready one and she's worth noting.
40,000euros foal; fourth foal; half-sister to 1m AW/8.3f turf winner Party Fears Too.

Clove Hitch

0.83
0.83/1(+31%)
(2) Clove Hitch 0.83/1, Foaled February 15. 725,000 gns yearling, Siyouni filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Lillie Langtry and smart winner up to 1¼m Count of Limonade. 1 of 2 for yard in top form (had a couple of winning 2-y-os first time up in June) and lots to like on paper.
Very nice pedigree and her yard has introduced many of their smart ones at this venue.
9
6th (9) Proficient (40/1 -43%)
Proficient

40
40/1(-43%)
(9) Proficient 40/1, Foaled March 10. Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Tropical Rock and winner up to 6f Rum Cocktail. Dam 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Yard not had a successful 2-y-o first time up for a while but she's got a cracking pedigree.
Half-sister to winners Rum Cocktail (5f/6f inc 2yo; RPR 88) and Tropical Rock (6f 2yo; 87).

(3) Flemish 18/1, Awtaad filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including high-class 5f/6f winner G Force and smart 1m-1¼m winner Laajooj. Dam 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). 40/1, ran to only a modest level on debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) a fortnight ago.
Never better than mid-division when sixth of 11 at Lingfield (6f AW; 40-1).
LTO Selection:

17:35 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

CLOVE HITCH is the first foal out of a half-sister to dual Group 1 winner Lillie Langtry, who is also the dam of Classic heroines Minding, Tuesday and Empress Josephine. The daughter of Siyouni cost 725,000gns as a yearling and it would be no surprise to see her make a winning start. Miss Show Off did not build on her promising debut when fourth at Nottingham, but it is far too soon to be writing Clive Cox's filly off. Magic Light and Leaves Of Grass are other newcomers who merit a market inspection.

Some appealing newcomers here, none more so than CLOVE HITCH, a 725,000 gns yearling for Juddmonte from a cracking family. She might be able to make a winning start under Oisin Murphy. Magic Light is another to note, while Al Hujaija could build plenty on her promising first effort at Haydock.

Miss Show Off is easily the best of the three to have raced but the eyes are drawn to the 725,000gns purchase CLOVE HITCH.

Starlust

4.5
4.5/1(+18%)
(1) Starlust 4.5/1, Zoustar colt who confirmed debut promise to get off the mark in good style in 12-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) a fortnight ago, leading 1f out. Will go on improving and fancied to be in the mix on turf bow.
Promise on debut and won well at Chelmsford latest; still has time to do much better.

Half-brother to 3 winners; dam a Listed-winning half-sister to Frankel; good paper claims.

Indian Run

75,000gns yearling; half-brother to a 1m4f winner; a suspicion he'll want further in time.

33/1(+18%)
(8) Odonnell's Orchard 33/1, Foaled March 20. €32,000 foal, 65,000 gns yearling, Invincible Army colt. Closely related to French 9.5f winner City of Women and half-brother to several winners, including useful 5f/6f winner From Me To Me. Dam Italian 7f winner. Interesting.
65,000gns relative of five winners in Europe; dam 7f winner (Italy); yard's 2yos quiet.

£47,000 yearling; dam a 6f AW 2yo winner; yard gets winning newcomers; check betting.

1.38

(3) Boyfriend 1.38/1, Twilight Son colt who shaped with plenty of encouragement when pulling clear with one with experience (and has won again since) in a Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) on debut last month. He's sure to have gleaned plenty from that, so is a must for the shortlist.
Debut 2nd was full of promise & open to lots of progress; yard won 4 of last 6 runnings.

33-1 and always in rear on recent Windsor debut; a huge step forward is required.

Half-brother to a minor AW winner; yard not renowned for winning 2yo newcomers.
LTO Selection:

18:05 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BOYFRIEND made a useful prospect pull out all the stops at Windsor and Richard Hannon's colt could be hard to stop with that run now under his belt. Array is the most noteworthy newcomer being out of Frankel's Listed-winning half-sister Joyeuse, who has already produced the Group 1-placed pair Maximal and Jubiloso. Starlust struck at Chelmsford but even just a 3lb penalty for that success could leave him vulnerable, while any market support for Indian Run or Navy Jack would have to be noted.

This can go the way of BOYFRIEND, who was sent off an unconsidered 20/1 shot at Windsor on debut last month but shaped with plenty of encouragement in pulling clear with one with experience (and who has won again subsequently). Richard Hannon's colt can get the better of Starlust, who scored second time up at Chelmsford recently and is open to further progress. Array and Navy Jack are both interesting newcomers and they can do battle for third spot.

Starlust is capable of better but the concession of weight to the promising BOYFRIEND may prove beyond him.

2/1(-14%)
(2) Baheer 2/1, Promising sort. Second of 10 in maiden at this C&D (good, 5/4) on debut 48 days ago, considerately handled once chance of winning had gone. Likely to improve.
Couldn't justify favouritism over C&D in a messy race on May's debut; more to come.

68,000euros 2yo; half-brother to two winners; yard has modest record with 2yos.

Promise on debut before faced with stiff task at Royal Ascot; still has some potential.

Half-brother to some useful winners but pedigree suggests longer trips will suit in time.

Bred to be smart and yard's 2yos 5-21 this season; of obvious interest on paper.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Baheer was well supported on his debut over C&D and ran respectably, despite being turned over by a 150/1 shot. That experience will have taught him plenty and the son of Mehmas is a serious player. Nevertheless, the in-form Roger Varian's MITWAA, a half-brother to juvenile Listed winner Mushir and King's Stand third Annaf, also has a striking pedigree and he may be worth chancing over a trip that should be ideal. Cynosure is another newcomer who appeals on paper.

MITWAA represents leading connections and there are plenty of 2-y-o winners in his pedigree, so a winning debut would come as no surprise. Count Palatine drops in class so has to be feared, with Baheer also of interest on the back of his promising opening run.

The well-related MITWAA is bred to sprint and he may well be up to making a winning debut. Baheer is feared most.

(3) Youarenotforgiven 3.33/1, Back up in trip, made it 2 wins from 2 starts at Leicester when successful there (8.2f) in May, doing well to come from so far back. Scored with a bit in hand so he merits consideration having won on his only previous try at 7f.

(9) The Cruising Lord 6.5/1, On first outing since leaving Simon Hodgson after 14 months off, proved he retains his ability when third at this course (6f) in June. Backed up that effort when runner-up at Salisbury 11 days later, so he can give another good account off his career-low mark.
Two solid 6f runs for this yard after a layoff; suitability of 7f still to be confirmed.
7

Sassy Belle

3.5
3.5/1(+36%)
(7) Sassy Belle 3.5/1, In first-time blinkers, opened her account with success in minor event at Leicester (6f) in October. After 6 months off, shaped as if ready for a longer trip when fourth of 5 at Yarmouth (6f) in April, so could get back on track with the blinkers soon reapplied.
6f winner on heavy (in blinkers) at two; 7f should suit and return of the headgear a plus.

Flopped on h'cap debut latest but earlier Redcar win was impressive; capable of better.

Retains ability for his new yard but hasn't been hinting that a win is imminent.

Two 6f AW wins in the spring; behind Secret Moment latest; still feasibly treated.

Twilight Heir

40
40/1(-43%)
(2) Twilight Heir 40/1, Having dropped in the weights, took advantage when scoring at Windsor (6f) in October and ran well when second here (6f) next time. However, run of good form halted at Chelmsford when last seen 7 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Seamus Durack.
Best form over 6f; makes stable debut after eight months off and others look safer.
LTO Selection:

19:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Secret Moment made a victorious return from an absence at Wolverhampton and is a strong contender off just 3lb higher, while Youarenotforgiven had something in hand when winning over a mile at Leicester and commands attention, despite being burdened with 5lb more. However, the one who appeals most at the weights is the lightly-raced SASSY BELLE, whose age allowance gives her a solid chance as she steps up in trip.

SECRET MOMENT proved as good as ever after 8 months off when getting back to winning ways at Wolverhampton, so he is taken to follow up making only his second start in the cheekpieces/tongue tie combination. Youarenotforgiven scored with a bit in hand on his latest outing and is feared most, ahead of The Cruising Lord.

The 3yos Sassy Belle and Milteye are feared but YOUARENOTFORGIVEN isn't fully exposed himself and can go in again.

(6) Hot Chesnut 8/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford in June and backed it up with a solid third at Newmarket last time. Should give another good account for all that she's more exposed than some.
Smooth success on AW last month but held off this mark at Newmarket 12 days ago.

(7) Snuggle 8/1, Career best when winning 6-runner minor event (evens) at Windsor (6f, heavy) 52 days ago, driven out. Going the right way and stable has been amongst the winners recently, so he's one to consider.
Game effort to win over 6f at Windsor in May; trip an unknown but stable in fine form.

4.5/1(-50%)
(2) Flying Secret 4.5/1, Going the right way this year and completed a double over C&D 3 weeks ago. Another bold show seems likely.
Chasing a hat-trick and a 2lb rise for last month's C&D win looks fair; solid candidate.

4th (8) Daahes (6.5/1 -63%)
Daahes

6.5
6.5/1(-63%)
(8) Daahes 6.5/1, Lightly-raced colt who took a step forward when third in a novice at Salisbury and is open to further improvement having his first go in handicaps. Worth taking a chance on.
Promising 3rd on last month's return; moves into handicaps with untapped potential.

5th (4) Al Baahy (14/1 -87%)
Al Baahy

14/1(-87%)
(4) Al Baahy 14/1, Fairly useful handicapper who was back to his best when scoring at Wetherby last time and should be on the premises again if he doesn't get pestered for the lead.
16th-time lucky when winning at Wetherby in May; up 4lb but still has some h'capping scope.

6th (9) Eddie Temple (1.5/1 +55%)
Eddie Temple

1.5
1.5/1(+55%)
(9) Eddie Temple 1.5/1, Best effort to date when fifth in a maiden at Nottingham last time despite seeming stretched by 1m. More to offer back down in trip and well worthy of consideration.
Promise in maidens, travelling notably strongly latest; moves into h'caps with potential.
3
7th (3) La Maquina (6.5/1 +35%)
La Maquina

6.5
6.5/1(+35%)
(3) La Maquina 6.5/1, Multiple 7f winner who largely ran with credit campaigned over longer trips on turf/AW last year for George Baker. Unsuited by the way the race developed on debut for new yard at Goodwood and could make more impact with a run under his belt.
On losing run but retains ability and penultimate 4th at York was a good effort; chance.
LTO Selection:

19:50 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The merit of Daahes latest performance was significantly boosted by the winner going in again at Chester last weekend, and Richard Hannon's three-year-old is an intriguing option on his handicap debut. The in-form Al Baahy and hat-trick seeking Flying Secret are also high on the shortlist given their resurgent form. However, SNUGGLE is another on an upwards trajectory and looks more than ready for a crack at this trip after powering to victory with a late surge over 6f at Windsor.

DAAHES has plenty about him physically and has improved with each run to date, so he's fancied to open his account at the first attempt in handicaps. Fellow 3yo Eddie Temple is an obvious danger and Flying Secret deserves plenty of respect.

Flying Secret is a solid option but the unexposed EDDIE TEMPLE could have been let into handicaps lightly.

(8) Finest Leader 1.62/1, Much improved in first-time cheekpieces when landing 8-runner handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up despite a 5 lb rise.

Not a guaranteed stayer on pedigree now upped in trip but it is his handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

20:25 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

FINEST LEADER benefitted from the application of cheekpieces (retained) when winning at Wetherby last month and the son of Churchill, who is having just his second run over this far, might be worth siding with from a 5lb raised mark. Graham put his two rivals to the sword at Salisbury and must enter calculations, while it would come as no surprise were Tribute to take a step forward on this handicap bow.

The consistent GRAHAM got off the mark at Salisbury and with that form having been franked he is taken to defy a 5 lb rise in the weights. Finest Leader is well in the mix if backing up his Wetherby success in retained cheekpieces while handily-weighted Dutch Kingdom can have a say too.

Graham may prove vulnerable to improvement from Finest Leader and MAN OF A'AN.

Ran creditably over 1m at Bath and Lingfield on last two outings but needs extra.
LTO Selection:

21:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

EXERTIVE was no match for a highly progressive sort when filling the runner-up spot at Windsor in May, but Charlie Hills' filly could go one better now raised just 1lb in the ratings. Island Luck steps up in trip after striking the woodwork at Kempton last week and appeals as a likely candidate, along with Clarko's Back, who should be suited by the drop from 10 furlongs.

Preference is for GOLDEN PHASE, who wasn't seen to best effect when fourth on handicap debut at Kempton in May and remains with potential. Island Luck and Lunar Landscape head the list of dangers.

Those with potential include LUNAR LANDSCAPE (nap) who seemed to be working up a head of steam at Salisbury, only to be hampered.

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.
