1st (2) Geo (7/2 -5%)
Geo

3.5
7/2(-5%)
(2) Geo 7/2, Promise when making the frame first 2 starts, before not ideally placed when seventh of 13 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 4/1) 31 days ago. Major player with more still to offer as she makes handicap debut.
Carried across track in July (6f); never sighted latest; should stay 7f on handicap debut.

Tiete

5.5
11/2(-10%)
(1) Tiete 11/2, Improved from debut when runner-up at Kempton (6f) in July, before eighth of 13 in a more competitive novice (28/1) at the same course (7f) 22 days ago. Could yet do better as she makes her first start in a nursery.
Stayed on well over 6f on AW but no improvement for 7f latest; handicap debut.

8/1(+0%)
(8) Thiscouldbefun 8/1, Didn't manage to find any further progress when fourth of 7 in novice at Lingfield (7.6f, good, 15/2) 19 days ago. However, she's not discounted now that she's qualified for nurseries.
Shaped nicely over 7f on second start; no improvement since but handicaps more suitable.

4th (9) Crocodile River (8/1 +33%)
Crocodile River

8
8/1(+33%)
(9) Crocodile River 8/1, Fared no better than first couple of outings when eighth of 11 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good, 28/1) 22 days ago. Has something to find but she's bred to stay at least 7f as she heads into handicaps.
Showed ability without threatening at 6f and 7f; should do better off ordinary mark.

Mecca's Symphony

7/1(-8%)
(3) Mecca's Symphony 7/1, Upped in trip, showed much improved form when third of 9 in novice at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 12/1) 34 days ago, travelling as well as any. Could be in the mix as she makes the switch to a nursery.
Stayed on steadily from off the pace over 7f at Thirsk; of more interest at this level.

Jane Garfield

14/1(-17%)
(4) Jane Garfield 14/1, Made the frame first 4 starts, before a lesser effort after 8 weeks off when fifth of 8 in maiden at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 7/1) 2 weeks ago. Improvement required on her handicap bow.
Best effort over 7f in June; lesser 6f run since but not ruled out now handicapping at 7f.

Sabrimento

6/1(+0%)
(7) Sabrimento 6/1, After 3 months off (gelded), not seen to best effect on nursery debut when sixth of 8 at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 6/1) 13 days ago, seeming unsuited by the track. Merits consideration with blinkers on 1st time.
Failed to handle the track on 7f handicap debut at Epsom; now blinkered; may yet do better.

Carderock

9/1(-38%)
(5) Carderock 9/1, Modest form so far. After 8 weeks off (gelded), well held when eighth of 11 in novice at this course (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 49 days ago. However, he's bred to be suited by this longer trip as he goes handicapping.
Ran well for a long way in useful 6f race here (good) in May; bred for 7f+.

9th (6) Horus (9/2 +36%)
Horus

4.5
9/2(+36%)
(6) Horus 9/2, Ran to a similar level as on first 2 starts when fourth of 6 in maiden at Catterick (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 36 days ago. Needs to find more upped further in trip for his nursery debut.
Has shown speed for 5f; no improvement for 6f latest; stamina query upped again in trip.

16:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

In what looks a closely-matched field, Mecca's Symphony could go well after a running-on third over this trip at Thirsk, and we may see a much better performance when she learns to settle. HORUS is narrowly preferred after his Catterick fourth and as a son of Expert Eye, the seventh furlong may bring the improvement needed. Stan Moore's Thiscouldbefun looks attractively weighted with Joe Leavy's 5lb claim and she is also considered.

After shaping well on her first 2 starts, GEO ended up furthest away from where the race unfolded at Windsor last time, so she remains capable of better as she makes her nursery debut. She is preferred to Sabrimento, who was also better than he could show at Epsom on his latest outing, with Tiete completing the shortlist.

Several of these are potential improvers for the switch to handicaps and CROCODILE RIVER may be the best of them now she's back at 7f.

16:45 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

HOLD A DREAM seems sure to prove popular after being sent off joint-favourite on her Sandown debut, when staying on over 5f for a one-length second, and that experience and step in trip could make her the one to beat today. Newcomer Motabaah has to be of interest and is bred to be speedy, so she is worth a market watch, while Pontefract second Glamour Show and Blue Point filly Sky Majesty are others to consider.

This looks a deep maiden with MAISSARA rather leaping off the page given her pedigree and sales price. Sky Majesty also ticks plenty of boxes on debut, with Hold A Dream sure to improve on the form of her opening effort now tackling 6f.

The market will help sort out some choice-looking newcomers butGLAMOUR SHOW already has C&D form in the book and gets the vote.

17:20 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The only form worthy of a mention here is the Ascot third of Saariselka, but she was beaten close to eight lengths at the line and may be susceptible to a decent newcomer. William Haggas and Tom Marquand teamed up to win this race in 2021 with Sense Of Duty and they have a good chance again with Blue Point filly BLUE SECRET, who cost 150,000gns as a yearling, and she may get the better of Kebili, who looks the Hannon first string under Pat Dobbs.

SAARISELKA made an encouraging start under very considerate handling when third in a Ascot novice and can put that experience to good use. The well-bred Blue Secret holds an entry for the Rockfel Stakes and is the standout newcomer.

Ed Walker's SAARISELKA was short in the market for her debut at Ascot and she didn't shape at all badly after being slowly away.

17:55 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

An open contest in which many will fancy their chances, including Bona Fortuna, who completed a double at Windsor last month, and Scarlet Lady. The latter romped home at Yarmouth recently and is officially 8lb well-in today, although this is undoubtedly more demanding. Rating was narrowly denied over C&D last time and she might improve for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, while handicap debutant Murashah is one to monitor closely in the betting. However, a chance is taken on FOOL'S GOLD . On target at Windsor last September, he went on to make little impact in the Flying Childers just 11 days later. There were signs of encouragement on his seasonal return, though, and a step up to 7f could be the making of him.

Lots with chances but BONA FORTUNA hasn't looked back since joining Mick Appleby and is fancied to make light of a 3 lb rise and go 3-3 for the yard now stepping up to 7f for the first time. Scarlet Lady goes unpenalised for her recent Yarmouth victory so rates an obvious threat, with handicap debutant Murashah and the handily-weighted Mercian Warrior also well in the mix. Fool's Gold completes the shortlist.

This is very open. A chance is taken on NORTH VIEW who ran well at Ascot in a race that suited those ridden more handily than he was.

(2) Hale End 20/1, Three wins from 9 runs this year. 5/1, creditable 1½ lengths fifth of 9 to Devoirs Choice in handicap at Redcar (1m, good to firm) 19 days ago, not ideally placed.
Won two of his last four starts; didn't get the strong pace he needs when fifth at Redcar.

10/3(+33%)
(12) Never Better 10/3, Winner of novice at Kempton (7f) in March. Third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (1m) in April. Returns from a break as an unexposed sort and no reason on breeding why he won't prove as effective back on turf.
Close off this mark in April latest and might well improve for being gelded; turf debut.

(11) How's The Guvnor 11/1, Hooded first time, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (1m, good to firm, 9/1) 36 days ago, keeping on from too far back.

(8) Rogue Encore 7/1, Fairly useful form. 5/1, good third of 11 in handicap at Windsor (1m, good) 45 days ago. Remains unexposed after only 4 starts.

(6) Rich 17/2, Course winner. Shaped well when third of 13 in 7f course handicap (good to firm) 65 days ago, first home in her group. On the shortlist.
Placed off her reduced mark here last time and returning to 1m could well be a plus.

Brindley

14/1(+30%)
(13) Brindley 14/1, Shaped well when second over C&D (good to firm) last month but has disappointed twice since, latterly a Racing League contest at Chepstow. Needs a return to this venue to have a positive effect.
Beaten a neck over C&D before two quieter runs over 7f; others preferred.

(5) Legend Of Leros 125/1, First run since leaving Marco Botti when last of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot from that.
Mostly well held in handicaps and that was very much the case on stable debut at Kempton.

(14) My Ambition 22/1, Got off the mark for the season in 12-runner handicap (6/4) at Bath (1m, good to firm) last month and shaped as if still in form when fourth of 11 at Salisbury a fortnight ago.
Four wins but has never defied this high a mark and didn't threaten to do so last time.

Glendower

12
12/1(-50%)
(10) Glendower 12/1, Fairly useful maiden who bumped into a handicap blot on his 1¼m Salisbury handicap debut 14 days ago. Drops back in trip now with the booking of William Buick catching the eye.
Hammered in 2nd the last twice; unlikely that he faces such progressive rivals this time.

18:30 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The form of ROGUE ENCORE's Windsor third has worked out well, with the runner-up going in twice since then. Peter Chapple-Hyam's gelding is just 1lb higher now and he can step forward on this second start following wind surgery. Devoirs Choice, a narrow victor at Redcar recently, appeals as a likely contender having been nudged up just 2lb in the ratings, while others to note include Never Better, Glendower and Rich.

NEVER BETTER returns from a break as a 3-y-o with the profile of one who should have more to offer so he's the suggestion. Fellow 3-y-o Devoirs Choice has only been nudged up 2 lb for his recent Redcar success and is second choice ahead of Rich, who shaped well here last time, and Glendower, the mount of William Buick.

Ed Dunlop's PRESSURE'S ON has shown he can threaten off this mark and Lingfield last time didn't go to plan at all.

(1) Billiegee 11/10, 17/2, resumed progress returning from 3 months off when winning 6-runner handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm) just under 6 weeks ago, running on. Capable of better still, she's high on the shortlist.
Second win from six starts with a workmanlike success at Doncaster; bang there.

Third of seven in a 1m2f handicap latest and this longer trip looks favourable.

In form; back in trip and in his own age group, he might be the one.

19:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

A step up in trip worked a treat for BILLIEGEE, who scored over today's 1m4f distance at Doncaster last month. James Ferguson's filly scored a shade cosily on that occasion and she looks capable of defying a 4lb rise in the ratings. Al Khawaneej River has posted two solid efforts in defeat since opening his account at Windsor in May and he's feared most, while Salik is a potential improver now upped in distance.

A tricky puzzle to solve despite the small field but BILLIEGEE resumed her progress upped to this trip when scoring at Doncaster last month and with further improvement anticipated, James Ferguson's filly shades the vote over Al Khawaneej River, who seemingly didn't quite stay when upped to 13.3f here 7 weeks ago. Salik can fill out third.

Back to a shorter trip and back against his own age group, AL KHAWANEEJ RIVER might be the answer to a tight handicap.

(1) Crimson Road 7/2, Off the mark in 10f Lingfield handicap in May and performed creditably in defeat more recently, again running well in first-time tongue strap when third of 6 in handicap (9/1) at Sandown (10f, good) 21 days ago. Solid frame claims.

Luckless the last twice; retains potential and gives the impression that 1m2f will suit.

19:30 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ONE COOL DREAMER has proved a different proposition since adopting more positive tactics, as evidenced with victories at Windsor and Newmarket of late. A hat-trick looks a strong possibility off just a 4lb higher mark than his latest success and Alan King's charge shades the verdict over Laura Bay. The daughter of New Bay regained the winning thread in ready fashion at Sandown last month and a 4lb rise in the ratings is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Wootton's Jewel is also noted returning to his only winning distance.

ONE COOL DREAMER has been on the upgrade of late and looks up to defying another 4 lb rise to complete the hat-trick. Charming Whisper has shaped better than the bare result on his last 2 outings and also makes the shortlist, with recent Sandown scorer Laura Bay also in the mix.

There should be a big run in CHARMING WHISPER (nap) who has not had the luck on his last two outings.

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.
