Close 3rd on recent debut at Salisbury and this 160,000gns yearling is a likeable prospect.

(10) My Lady Samantha 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 25/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good) 19 days ago.
Very modest form on first two starts; best to look elsewhere.

Call Me The Breeze

(3) Call Me The Breeze 250/1, Twice-raced filly. Ninth of 10 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft, 66/1) 33 days ago. Hooded for 1st time.

Forgotten Treasure

200
200/1(-100%)
(5) Forgotten Treasure 200/1, Ten Sovereigns filly. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1m), closely related to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Southern Hills. Hooded, eighth of 9 in maiden (50/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago.
May have needed debut run at Yarmouth but she was well beaten and is probably best watched.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Newbury Maiden (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This looks like an ideal opportunity for Irish raider SHE'S QUALITY, following a strong runner-up effort at the Curragh last time out. She can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking, with costly newcomer Romantic Style and promising Salisbury third Star Music looking best placed to chase her home. Assema and Looking For Queen can also have a say in proceedings.

SHE'S QUALITY sets a near-useful standard so should prove hard to beat in what looks a thin maiden for the track. Star Music made a promising debut when third at Salisbury so rates the main threat, though market support for Charlie Appleby's expensive newcomer Romantic Style would look significant.

Irish challenger SHE'S QUALITY has shown strong form at the Curragh on more than one occasion and is taken to get off the mark.

Art Historian

4.5
4.5/1(+55%)
(8) Art Historian 4.5/1, Fitted with cheekpieces but looked short of pace over 6f when fifth at Newmarket a month ago. Return to 7f has to be in his favour.
In top hands and perhaps he'll improve for having been gelded.
10
2nd (10) Mitwaa (12/1 -50%)
Mitwaa

12
12/1(-50%)
(10) Mitwaa 12/1, Bred to be a useful sprinter but fairly low-key start, in a trio of 6f contests. Is in excellent hands and could easily get on the up now handicapping.
Disappointing since encouraging debut here, but may get back on track in his first nursery.
11
3rd (11) She Wore No Jewels (33/1 -65%)
She Wore No Jewels

33
33/1(-65%)
(11) She Wore No Jewels 33/1, Attracted support and offered something to work on when third in a Goodwood maiden (6f, good to firm) on debut. Shaped as though amiss when well held at Doncaster but finished off her race with more purpose at Salisbury latest.
Well beaten the last twice but she's a possible if tapping back into her debut promise.

4th (4) Faster Bee (40/1 -300%)
Faster Bee

40
40/1(-300%)
(4) Faster Bee 40/1, Looked to be learning in his qualifying runs but assessor certainly taken no chances with his opening mark.
Not obviously well treated for nursery debut but he's one to watch in the market.
9
5th (9) American Tale (12/1 -140%)
American Tale

12
12/1(-140%)
(9) American Tale 12/1, Improved form off a break/gelding operation when making a winning nursery debut at Kempton (1m) a fortnight ago, always holding on. Possesses scope to go on improving.
Won at Kempton (1m, AW) a fortnight ago on nursery debut & could still have more to offer.
3
6th (3) Loaded Quiver (2.5/1 +9%)
Loaded Quiver

2.5
2.5/1(+9%)
(3) Loaded Quiver 2.5/1, Displayed a very willing attitude when making third start a winning one at Brighton 3 weeks ago. Still not the finished article and opening mark could be lenient with cheekpieces added.
Won Brighton maiden last time and could be the type to benefit from first-time cheekpieces.
2
7th (2) Overlooked (5.5/1 +54%)
Overlooked

5.5
5.5/1(+54%)
(2) Overlooked 5.5/1, Backward step when fifth of 11 in novice company at York a month ago. Mark demands more on balance of his form.
Has shown promise (including here) but has to raise game to win off nursery debut mark.
7
8th (7) Knicks (7.5/1 -15%)
Knicks

7.5
7.5/1(-15%)
(7) Knicks 7.5/1, More like it fitted with cheekpieces when second of 5 at Ayr last month (5.5f). Upped in trip for nursery debut and he's one to consider.
Represents powerful 2yo trainer and interesting contender now up in trip on nursery debut.
12
9th (12) Land Of Magic (125/1 -400%)
Land Of Magic

125
125/1(-400%)
(12) Land Of Magic 125/1, Proved virtually unrideable on his Lingfield nursery debut but fitted with a hood, she got back on track in no uncertain terms when winning 4-runner nursery at Sandown. Weakened out of it in a 6f contest here 11 days ago and profile looks patchy.
Won four-runner nursery at Sandown but fifth of five here subsequently.
6
10th (6) Anonymous Guest (25/1 -108%)
Anonymous Guest

25
25/1(-108%)
(6) Anonymous Guest 25/1, Continued thee of race-by-race progress at Yarmouth a fortnight ago. Switches to a nursery with yard among the winners.
Could continue to progress now in nurseries and he's not discounted for in-form yard.

9/1(-38%)
(1) This Time Maybe 9/1, Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1m/9f winner in US Dicey Mo Chara and useful winner up to 8.3f Rodrigo de Torres. Travelled well under a positive ride when runner-up at Windsor 16 days ago. Did hang badly left on that occasion and now switches to a nursery.
Runner-up at Windsor last time and he's respected on nursery debut.

(5) Ihopeyoulike 10/1, No better than fifth in 3 starts at up to 7f but nurseries a more suitable assignment with headgear reached for.
Mid-division on first three starts; headgear and Buick booked on nursery debut.
LTO Selection:

14:30 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

LOADED QUIVER deservedly got off the mark when just holding on at Brighton last time out and he sets the standard on the back of that effort. Conditions look to be in his favour once more and Archie Watson's charge is narrowly preferred to This Time Maybe, who ran a career best when second at Windsor over further. Kempton winner American Tale and Knicks can also go well.

LOADED QUIVER found extra for pressure when landing the odds at Brighton 3 weeks ago, and from a very workable opening mark, he's selected to follow up. American Tale also won last time and he possesses plenty of scope, with Mitwaa likely to do better now allotted a mark.

Brighton maiden winner LOADED QUIVER could be suited by the first-time cheekpieces on his nursery debut and he earns the vote.

King's Code

33
33/1(-230%)
(12) King's Code 33/1, Did well to score having conceded first run in first-time cheekpieces at Bath (1m) in June and steady gallop didn't place to his strengths when midfield in 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) later that month. Changed yards/gelded since but drop in trip may not be ideal.
Makes stable after ten weeks off having been gelded in the meantime; market useful.
4
2nd (4) Restrict (16/1 -33%)
Restrict

16
16/1(-33%)
(4) Restrict 16/1, Campaigned exclusively on AW to date, landing a Wolverhampton maiden and best effort yet when landing Kempton handicap (7f) in March. Entitled to be sharper for first start for 5 months (also gelded) at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and interesting what the market makes of him. Engaged 5.20 Epsom Monday.
Two wins on AW in March, but well held on recent return; something to prove.
10
3rd (10) Change Sings (22/1 -267%)
Change Sings

22
22/1(-267%)
(10) Change Sings 22/1, Promise in maiden/novice company and despite being very easy to back, showed improved form to make a winning handicap debut at Kempton (7f) 3 weeks ago, enjoying the run of things but finding extra. From an excellent family and surprise where he not capable of better still.
5lb higher than for successful handicap debut at Kempton last time; a player.
9
4th (9) Dark Desire (6/1 +14%)
Dark Desire

6
6/1(+14%)
(9) Dark Desire 6/1, Clearly over whatever ailed her on debut last summer when running out a good winner of a Haydock maiden (7f) in July. Couldn't replicate that level when fourth under a penalty at Thirsk (1m, heavy) 24 days ago but it remains early days and switch to handicaps a plus now.
Winning return at Haydock last month, but didn't back it up last time; handicap debut.
7
5th (7) Flying Spirit (5/1 +50%)
Flying Spirit

5
5/1(+50%)
(7) Flying Spirit 5/1, AW nursery winner last winter who has made a good start on turf, twice finishing runner up in 1m handicaps prior to getting off the mark at Lingfield (7f) earlier this month, staying on to lead line. Rider's claim off-sets his rise in weights and that may not be his limit.
Raised 3lb for latest Lingfield win, but this more galloping track is in his favour.
8
6th (8) Nogo's Dream (11/1 -29%)
Nogo's Dream

11
11/1(-29%)
(8) Nogo's Dream 11/1, AW maiden winner back in March who has the ability to defy this sort of mark, shaping as if still in good form when fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 2 weeks ago. Equally as effective on turf and he's an each-way player again tackling 7f.
In the frame in five of his seven handicaps, but mark remains fairly static as a result.
1
7th (1) Lord Uhtred (6/1 +40%)
Lord Uhtred

6
6/1(+40%)
(1) Lord Uhtred 6/1, Confirmed previous promise when landing an AW novice (7f) on final start last season. Yet to fully fire in trio of handicaps, including when seventh of 11 at Kempton (7f) 13 days ago (following 3 months off/having been gelded). This should reveal more.
Out of the frame in all three handicaps since returning; has enough to prove.
6
8th (6) Overnight Oats (9/1 -20%)
Overnight Oats

9
9/1(-20%)
(6) Overnight Oats 9/1, Off the mark at Carlisle (6.9f) in July and displayed a brilliant attitude when following up at Sandown (7f) later last month. Respectable second in 3-runner event at Ffos Las (7.3f, soft) since and expected to give another good account for all this rates tougher.
Record since hood applied reads 3112; possible that soft ground found him out last time.
13
9th (13) Art Of Romance (18/1 -112%)
Art Of Romance

18
18/1(-112%)
(13) Art Of Romance 18/1, Good looking son of Caravaggio who displayed promise when second on debut in a Newmarket maiden (7f) on debut in April. Not in same form either start after but likely he remains capable of better now handicapping/having been gelded. Hood on 1st time and he's one to note.
Hasn't built on a promising debut; makes handicap debut with a hood enlisted; watch market.
2
10th (2) Captain Cuddles (3/1 +50%)
Captain Cuddles

3
3/1(+50%)
(2) Captain Cuddles 3/1, Landed 6f Salisbury novice last summer and returned from a short break in good heart, producing best effort yet when runner-up in a C&D handicap 11 days ago, no match for winner but clear of the remainder. Big shout with Ryan Moore aboard.
Placed in both starts since being gelded and races off same mark; win came on good to firm.
3
11th (3) Monopolise (8.5/1 +61%)
Monopolise

8.5
8.5/1(+61%)
(3) Monopolise 8.5/1, Ended 2022 on the up winning nurseries at Newmarket and Kempton and best effort yet when landing 7-runner Yarmouth handicap (1m) in July. Has run somewhat disappointingly both starts since though and present mark demands a little more.
Well held the last twice and particularly poor at Goodwood last time; needs to bounce back.
11
11th (11) Majestic Newlaw (25/1 -317%)
Majestic Newlaw

25
25/1(-317%)
(11) Majestic Newlaw 25/1, Progressed with each start in novice events, runner-up over 6f at Chepstow last summer. Ran below best when sixth in 8-runner nursery at Epsom on final start but gelded subsequently and booking of Marquand an eye-catching one returning from 11 months off.
Returns from 11 months off having been gelded in the meantime; watch market.
5
13th (5) Ellexis (100/1 -355%)
Ellexis

100
100/1(-355%)
(5) Ellexis 100/1, Off the mark with plenty in hand switched to all-weather at Lingfield on second and final outing at 2 yrs. However, she's yet to replicate that level of form in trio of starts so far this campaign, well held eighth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (7f) 45 days ago.
Has beaten a total of one rival in three starts since returning; best watched for now.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A determined winner at Lingfield last time out following a pair of solid runner-up efforts, FLYING SPIRIT looks the one to beat again and he can notch up a third career victory on just his sixth career outing on turf. That may be at the main expense of the unexposed Dark Desire and Captain Cuddles, who ran his best race as a three-year-old when runner-up over C&D last time out.

CAPTAIN CUDDLES has returned from a short break in very good order, finding only one who improved markedly too strong over C&D 11 days ago. Nicely on top of the remainder then, he gets the nod to prove his mark a workable one. Change Sings was seen to good effect when scoring on handicap debut at Kempton but he's a well-bred type who can do better again and is feared. Dark Desire and Lord Uhtred are others to monitor.

The vote goes to CAPTAIN CUDDLES who has run well off this mark in both starts since being gelded.

Won in first-time blinkers at Chepstow and could have more to offer in the headgear.

Lightly raced 3yo; won at York last month; testing going may have been too much at Sandown.

Fair third over 8.4f in May but he's probably better served by a shorter trip.

Two-time course winner who showed career-best form when winning at Sandown recently.

Unexposed 3yo who is open to improvement for his top trainer.
8

Remarkable Force

Third over 7f at Sandown recently; remains to be seen if this 3yo will see out 1m.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

ISLAND BANDIT ticks a lot of boxes with two wins from three starts here, one over this trip, and, as the four-year-old also handles the predicted going, he seems to have every chance. He took a similar race last time out at Sandown and, although he has a 5lb penalty to carry, there may be more to come. Classic was a good fourth in a better race here over a furlong shorter and has every chance if he gets home, while Crack Shot is another to take seriously.

CLASSIC shaped as if still on a good mark when fourth here 10 days ago and, with the step back up to 1m well worth exploring, he earns the vote. Metabolt looked back in form at Windsor recently and must enter calculations, along with Monte Linas, who's better judged on his York win having seemed unsuited by testing ground at Sandown last time.

The step back up to 1m could be just what CLASSIC (nap) needs following his staying-on fourth over 7f here, when denied a clear run.

80-1 win in maiden recently; pedigree provides hope he'll be capable of better still.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Edge Of Ember was expected to do better when sent off favourite at Chelmsford on his first start after wind surgery, but he is upped in trip now and may improve. African Star is hard to gauge after winning his maiden at 80/1, and he could surprise a few on his handicap debut, but RAGOSINA is narrowly preferred. She ran on into third despite becoming unbalanced at Newmarket and sports first-time blinkers.

GORDON GREY is given a second chance to confirm the promise of his Newmarket handicap debut second, form which has been franked by those around him. Sailing On, Medieval Gold and African Star all have unexposed potential now switching to handicap company and may provide the main opposition.

Gordon Grey is a tempting option but the William Haggas-trained MEDIEVAL GOLD could prove to be much better than his opening mark.

22/1(-120%)
(7) Gentle Whinny 22/1, Improved with each of her 3 starts as a 2-y-o, culminating in a 1m novice success at Windsor. However, she hasn't made much of an impact in a couple of handicaps this time round and needs to get back on track.
2yo novice win last October but well beaten on both starts this year.

Unlimited

2/1(+43%)
(11) Unlimited 2/1, Has performed to a similar level in a trio of novice events, most recently finishing third of 11 at Hamilton (8.3f, good). Still, improvement could be forthcoming now that he moves back up in trip for this handicap debut.
Makes handicap debut having been gelded; in top hands and he's one to be interested in.

Khinjani

3/1(+33%)
(4) Khinjani 3/1, Had a bit left up her sleeve when opening her account in a 5-runner Haydock handicap (10.4f, good) earlier this month. Nudged up just 2 lb and she looks nailed-on for another bold show.
Won at Haydock latest; this looks a better race but she has a progressive profile.

Won AW novice in May but has failed to threaten in turf handicaps on next four starts.

4th (9) Gold Aura (11/1 -29%)
Gold Aura

11
11/1(-29%)
(9) Gold Aura 11/1, Failed to build on debut promise at 2 yrs but nothing wrong with this season's placed efforts in 1m handicaps at Kempton and Salisbury (good). Mark unchanged and shapes as though this trip will suit, so she's worth considering.
Placed over 1m on both runs in 2023; pedigree suggests she'll improve for this longer trip.

5th (3) Yamalia Star (11/1 -69%)
Yamalia Star

11
11/1(-69%)
(3) Yamalia Star 11/1, Fair form in a handful of Irish maidens, not beaten far when fourth of 12 at Roscommon (1½m, good to soft) last week. Shapes as though this trip could be ideal and while she needs to improve now handicapping, it's possible that she'll do just that with first-time cheekpieces enlisted.
Promise in Irish maidens and pedigree provides optimism she'll be capable of better.

6th (5) Bloomwithgrace (5/1 +41%)
Bloomwithgrace

5
5/1(+41%)
(5) Bloomwithgrace 5/1, Shaped well all 3 starts in novice company at 2 yrs and knocking on the door this season, finding just one too good upped to this trip at Ripon (good) last time. Likely to pick up a race before long but improvement will be needed if this is to be the race in which she gets off the mark.
Second at Ripon last time behind one who followed up; could again be thereabouts.

Forest Demon

8.5/1(-21%)
(2) Forest Demon 8.5/1, Kempton nursery winner at 2 yrs and deservedly got his head back in front with a first-time tongue strap applied under William Buick at Newmarket (1¼m, good) recently. 4 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations.
Improved form to win at Newmarket 11 days ago and he's respected up 4lb.

33/1(-50%)
(1) Nopoli 33/1, Successful at Jebel Ali in January but hasn't made much of an impact in 5 subsequent starts. Handicapper has shown mercy (eased 5 lb since latest start) but, even so, he's hard to warm to.
Won on dirt at Jebel Ali in January on second start but struggled to get competitive since.
6
9th (6) Photon (33/1 -288%)
Photon

33
33/1(-288%)
(6) Photon 33/1, Promise on first 2 starts at Kempton and again when third in a 9-runner Salisbury novice (7f, soft) on turf debut last month. Mark for this handicap debut looks fair and this stiffer test should help but one or two of these are more appealing all the same.
Not bred for this sort of trip but not ruled out under Billy Loughnane on handicap debut.

10th (8) Raintown (22/1 -83%)
Raintown

22/1(-83%)
(8) Raintown 22/1, Enjoyed a productive 2-y-o campaign on the AW, completing the hat-trick on New Year's Eve. Has struggled in 4 runs since switched to turf, though, and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
Three AW wins towards end of last year but down the field on grass the last twice.
12
11th (12) Star Of Mayo (50/1 -178%)
Star Of Mayo

50
50/1(-178%)
(12) Star Of Mayo 50/1, Showed improved form to make it fourth time lucky in novice company at Lingfield (1m, AW) in January. Disappointed in handicaps over longer trips both starts thereafter on AW and, having been gelded, he again failed to shine back from a break/returned to turf at Salisbury (1m, good).
Patchy profile this year but recent comeback run wasn't devoid of promise; not discounted.
LTO Selection:

16:50 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

William Haggas won this in 2021 and has an interesting contender here with Unlimited, who was third on his latest start and has been gelded since. He needs to improve, but a mark of 70 for his handicap debut looks fair. Gold Aura has done little wrong with a second and a third this season and she could also have some say, but KHINJANI is hard to oppose. A winner last time out at Haydock, she travelled well throughout for a comfortable success and an added 2lb may not be enough to stop her.

KHINJANI found only the progressive Gallant Lion, who has gone in twice again since, over this C&D last month prior to going one better at Haydock 17 days ago. She appeared to have more in hand than the winning margin would suggest on that occasion and, up just 2 lb, she is taken to strike again. Forest Demon, also successful last time, is feared most ahead of the upped-in-trip Gold Aura and handicap-debutant Unlimited.

The step up in trip looks to be the right move for GOLD AURA and she is taken to get off the mark at the sixth attempt.

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.
