Haazeez

4.5
9/2(-157%)
(4) Haazeez 9/2, Promising start when fifth of 20 in C&D maiden before bumping into subsequent Coventry runner-up at Ayr. Bit disappointing at Yarmouth since but worth another chance in what is a weak maiden for the track.

13:25 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JUBA improved from first to second start when going well for a long way over C&D recently and, with normal improvement expected, he might be able to get off the mark on this occasion. A promising runner-up at Ayr on his penultimate outing, Haazeez is best judged on that form, while the well-bred Maelstrom is another to consider despite not showing much first time out at Haydock. Shameful and Wicket Keeper look to be the pick of the newcomers.

HAAZEEZ has been expensive to follow since his promising debut here but this looks a good opportunity in what is a weak maiden for the track. Belgrave offered something to work on at Kempton so must be respected for his excellent yard, with Shameful making the most appeal out of the newcomers.

This doesn't look the deepest of maidens by Newbury standards. HAAZEEZ returns from a break and his first two runs were promising.

Fast Track Harry

9
9/1(+25%)
(4) Fast Track Harry 9/1, Harry Angel half-brother to 5f/6f winner Olympic Eagle and 8.6f winner Olympic Quest. A debutant to monitor in the betting.
Out of a 5f winner on AW/turf who bred two winners for this yard; check the market.
1
2nd (1) Almeraq (13/2 -8%)
Almeraq

6.5
13/2(-8%)
(1) Almeraq 13/2, Dark Angel colt. Dam unraced half-sister to winner up to 6f Fairyland and 7f/1m winner Now Or Never (both smart). Newcomer from a top stable and would need considering should the betting suggest he's fancied.
Stellar pedigree laden with Group winners; very interesting newcomer for leading yard.
9
3rd (9) Spirit Of Farhh (7/2 -17%)
Spirit Of Farhh

3.5
7/2(-17%)
(9) Spirit Of Farhh 7/2, Plenty to like about his second of 10 on 6f Ascot debut (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago, just failing. Should improve and go well again
Unfancied for 6f Ascot debut but didn't flinch in a tight finish with a previous winner.

Charmoula

18/1(-50%)
(2) Charmoula 18/1, 20/1, fifth of 13 in novice at Windsor (6f, soft) on debut 27 days ago. Likely improve with that experience behind him.

Ran fast for a long way when 4th on Windsor debut; likely to know more this time.
13
6th (13) Phaedra (100/1 -203%)
Phaedra

100
100/1(-203%)
(13) Phaedra 100/1, From a leading stable but no obvious short-term promise on her 7f Newmarket debut in July.
Pedigree points to her needing much longer trips; soon on the back foot on 7f debut.
7
7th (7) I Maximus (11/8 +21%)
I Maximus

1.375
11/8(+21%)
(7) I Maximus 11/8, Third on C&D debut in July and second at Kempton (6f) again 2 months later. Has gone off a well-backed favourite on both occasions, suggesting he's thought capable of even better. Bold show likely.
Beaten favourite both starts but shown plenty and ran up against a good prospect latest.
8
8th (8) Panama Black (40/1 -100%)
Panama Black

40
40/1(-100%)
(8) Panama Black 40/1, £35,000 Tamayuz colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Styledome. The market should help guide to expectations with this one.
£35,000 yearling; lack of experience might tell but the betting can provide some clues.

Gesundheit

100

(6) Gesundheit 100/1, More one for handicaps after this judged on his 2 runs to date.
Signs of some ability on 6f debut; well adrift on soft ground since; handicaps soon.
10
10th (10) Summer Rain (150/1 -127%)
Summer Rain

150
150/1(-127%)
(10) Summer Rain 150/1, Ardad half-brother to several winners, including smart 1m-1½m winner Robin Hoods Bay and 2-y-o 6f winner Turbo Spirit. Stable not really known for first-time-out winners but worth a precautionary betting check
Nice pedigree but a late foal who will probably need time.
5
11th (5) Fire Flame (6/1 -50%)
Fire Flame

6
6/1(-50%)
(5) Fire Flame 6/1, Promising individual. Third of 11 in novice at Chelmsford (6f) 36 days ago. Should have more to offer.
Two fair efforts in defeat at 6f, on turf and AW; this galloping track should suit.
12
12th (12) Eazy On The Eye (125/1 -25%)
Eazy On The Eye

125
125/1(-25%)
(12) Eazy On The Eye 125/1, 2,000 gns Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to 6f-7f winner Thursday's Child. Not an obvious one but the stable has popped up with a long-priced 2-y-o winner here before.
April foal; will need to be useful to play a part on debut; yard had few 2yos run in 2024.
11
13th (11) Dragonfly In Amber (150/1 -200%)
Dragonfly In Amber

150
150/1(-200%)
(11) Dragonfly In Amber 150/1, Modest form at best in 2 runs. Outsider here.
Hinted at ability on 6f debut but lesser effort followed; best left until handicapping.

13:55 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of FIRE FLAME, who was an encouraging third at Chelmsford last month in a race that has worked out very well in the interim. This track is likely to suit and he is preferred to Kempton second I Maximus, as well as Spirit Of Farhh, who ran a huge race on debut when narrowly denied at Ascot. Related to Group 1 winner Fairyland, Almeraq should be monitored for market support on his racecourse bow.

I MAXIMUS has let favourite backers down on a couple of occasions but there were still signs of greenness at Kempton and this evidently well-regarded colt is given one more chance. Spirit of Farhh rates an obvious danger after his promising opening effort at Ascot a fortnight ago. Fire Flame is another who looks capable of better, while Almeraq and Fast Track Harry are newcomers to monitor in the betting.

Almeraq is a choicely bred newcomer who needs a market check but SPIRIT OF FARHH gets the vote after his promising Ascot debut.

1st (1) Anna Swan (2/11 +90%)
Anna Swan

0.181818
2/11(+90%)
(1) Anna Swan 2/11, Almanzor filly who looked a good prospect in making a winning start in 5-runner novice at Yarmouth (7f, good) on debut 43 days ago, leading over 1f out and quickening clear. Open to significant improvement.
Could hardly have been more impressive on her Yarmouth debut; entered in the Fillies' Mile.

Improved from her debut when winning here last month, but needs to progress again.

Well held on her debut here five weeks ago; up against it.

(4) Electrifarhh 18/1, Foaled January 30. Farhh filly. Half-sister to winner up to 7.5f Electrifying and winner up to 6f One More Olly. Yard doesn't get many first-time-out winners and this is a tough task on debut.
Would need to be well above average to make a winning debut.

14:25 Newbury Stakes (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Trainer Sir Michael Stoute may have announced his retirement, but he will still have a major part to play in the early development of what looks like a high-class filly in ANNA SWAN. Handed a 3lb penalty for an impressive debut success at Yarmouth, the daughter of Almanzor is entitled to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she may have too many gears for Cathedral, who wasn't for catching on debut at Lingfield over 6f. Saariselka is another to note.

CATHEDRAL and Anna Swan both made sparkling winning debuts and are open to bundles of improvement, with the former narrowly preferred given the excellent form of her stable. Saariselka shouldn't be completely dismissed with the step up to 7f sure to bring about further progress.

Two fillies who were both impressive on their respective debuts clash in this with ANNA SWAN just preferred to Cathedral.

Aysgarth

22
22/1(-57%)
(6) Aysgarth 22/1, Stepped up on his debut effort when runner-up at Salisbury and Doncaster over the summer. However, he failed to meet expectations on nursery debut at Nottingham (6.1f, good) last month so he needs to bounce back upped to 7f.
6l third and one paced over 6f on nursery debut; this longer trip well worth a go.

In first-time cheekpieces when the rallying winner of a 6f AW maiden at Lingfield.
5

Jr Climbs

10
10/1(+0%)
(5) Jr Climbs 10/1, Much improved from debut when getting off the mark at Bath in July and back on track on nursery debut when runner-up at this track just over 2 weeks ago, albeit another slow start meaning he was always playing catch up. Upped further in trip and that could unlock more improvement.
Beaten a neck on nursery debut here but the winner is going forwards.
15
4th (15) Valsharah (25/1 -25%)
Valsharah

25
25/1(-25%)
(15) Valsharah 25/1, Showed ability on his second start but hasn't really kicked on since that effort, including in nurseries the last twice. Dropped 3 lb but he's vulnerable to less exposed types.
Fifth in both nurseries and just about the first in trouble last week at Doncaster.

5th (9) Rokuni (28/1 -40%)
Rokuni

(9) Rokuni 28/1, Came good at the fourth time of asking when making all in 5-runner maiden at Brighton (6f, good to soft) last month. Unable to feature under a change of tactics in much a competitive event on nursery debut at York last time and probably better judged on previous efforts.
Could have some improvement in him now sent further but he'll need it.
11
6th (11) Obsidian Dream (40/1 -186%)
Obsidian Dream

40/1(-186%)
(11) Obsidian Dream 40/1, Has progressed in each of his 3 starts and got off the mark in a weak maiden at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) just over 2 weeks ago. Back up to 7f for his handicap debut and will need to take another step forward.
Bath winner who might be on a tough mark for first handicap and this is competitive.

7th (2) Art Market (9/2 +25%)
Art Market

4.5
9/2(+25%)
(2) Art Market 9/2, Steadily progressive Calyx colt who won his first two starts in nurseries then shaped better than the result when sixth of 17 in a competitive event at York last month. Ran well in an admittedly less deep nursery when a close third at Sandown (7f, good) recently and should go well again.

Given time off and would be folly to ignore (sent off favourite last time).
0-5; bit to prove now back from a break and with stamina doubts over this far.

Cristo

Improved third on handicap debut and his stable has a terrific record in this race.

Hasn't built on his Newmarket third; had excuses last time and may yet come good.

7f maiden winner who overcame a bit of bother in running to follow up in a Haydock nursery.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

14:55 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

Green Icon arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having backed up his Chelmsford maiden success with a smooth nursery debut win at Haydock earlier in the month. Although he is going the right way, a 7lb rise could prove too much and AEGEAN SEA may be the one to take advantage. The son of Kingman seemed to find a mile too far on his latest start at Haydock when hanging left in the closing stages, but the return to 7f and first-time cheekpieces could prove just the tonic. Mandana, Jr Climbs and Lakers head the remainder.

The suggestion is LAKERS, who opened his account at Ffos Las in July and confirmed that improvement shown when pulling clear with the winner at Beverley since. Now heading into handicaps, George Boughey's colt can double his tally at the expense of Green Icon, who is improving in leaps and bounds and arrives chasing a hat-trick. Gilet, Mandana and Cristo are a trio of others to consider too in what looks a seriously competitive nursery.

George Boughey still has LAKERS entered in the Royal Lodge and his defeat at Beverley doesn't look too shoddy an effort now.

Regal Ulixes

2.125
85/40(-6%)
(5) Regal Ulixes 85/40, From a very good family and he produced a highly promising first effort when third of 10 in class 2 maiden at Goodwood (1m) 17 days ago, getting gap entering final 1f and running on under hands-and-heels ride. Yard landed this 2 years ago and he appeals as the type to take a big step forward.

Sound claims with prospect of more to come.

Front-running third in novice at Kempton (7f, AW) but needs to improve again, markedly.

15:30 Newbury Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

KING OF CITIES didn't need to improve much on his debut third at Newmarket to score at Chester at the end of last month. Unlike his half-brother, Commonwealth Cup hero Inisherin, a mile doesn't appear to be an issue for Richard Hannon's colt and he is taken to prove too strong for the opposition. Kempton winner Dunamase also boasts a smart pedigree and has to be respected along with Regal Ulixes, who didn't get the clearest of runs when third on his racecourse bow at Goodwood.

Often an informative contest with this year's renewal fancied to go the way of REGAL ULIXES. Andrew Balding's well-bred colt shaped with plenty of promise without being seen to best effect when third on debut at Goodwood 17 days ago and he looks sure to improve. The penalised pair, King of Cities and Dunamase, are both appealing types with claims, whilst market confidence behind newcomer Dissident would also look significant.

Dunamase and King Of Cities are promising and Dissident is Bluestocking's half-brother. REGAL ULIXES shaped well on debut.

Witness Stand

7
7/1(+13%)
(9) Witness Stand 7/1, Smart gelding who has upped his game in recent starts, winning a 7f Goodwood handicap and backing that up with good second of 14 over same C&D (good to soft) 26 days ago. Well worth his place in this better company.
Big improvement in 7f Goodwood handicaps and that form puts him firmly in the picture.

(1) English Oak 4/1, Posted personal best when landing Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot in June ut struggled in Group company since, including when sixth of 7 in Hungerford Stakes over C&D 34 days ago. Others more appealing.
Slammed his 25 rivals in 7f handicap at Royal Ascot; well below that form in 7f Group 2s.

(2) Jumby 18/1, Below par at Newcastle latest but had run right up to his best when third of 7 in Hungerford Stakes over C&D previously and would be a player if back to that sort of form.
Beaten a nose and a short head in the Group 2 Hungerford over C&D (Witch Hunter second).

Staying on well over 6f gives hope for 7f but the best of these have markedly better form.

(5) Witch Hunter 10/3, Won the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot and Hungerford over C&D last season and only narrowly failed in repeat bid in the latter last month. Backed that up with creditable third in Haydock Group 3 latest and must enter calculations here.
Won last year's Group 2 Hungerford over C&D and went very close in the same race this term.

2nd in Newmarket Group 3 (7f, good to firm) in June was back near his best; wind op since.

16:05 Newbury Listed (Class 1) 7f  Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

A gelding operation seemed to help Nostrum when finishing runner-up in a Group 3 at Newmarket and recent wind surgery may further aid his cause. That said, he faces a potential improver at the trip in the shape of LAKE FOREST. If over the issues that caused him to be upset in the stalls and withdrawn at York last month, the three-year-old could be the one following two fine efforts to finish runner-up in the Commonwealth Cup and the Hackwood. Both Witch Hunter (second) and Jumby (third) went very close in the Hungerford here last month and also enter calculations.

LAKE FOREST was doing all his best work late on when runner-up here last time and could improve again over this longer trip. He is fancied to score. Nostrum and Witch Hunter are feared most.

Lake Forest has a big chance if the ground is suitable. If he is absent again, this might hand a good opportunity to WITNESS STAND.

(3) Loughville 6/1, Has been going the right way this season, landing handicaps at Bath in April and Wetherby in June. Good efforts since and can get involved again.
Two 1m2f wins this term and she's also run well when upped to 1m4f on last two outings.

Looks sure to stay 1m4f after her recent Bath win and could have potential at the trip.

Won by a neck in novice at Kempton (1m4f, AW) latest; this handicap debut demands more.

(7) Blessed Honour 13/8, Boasts a progressive profile and showed a willing attitude to score in a 4-runner novice at Nottingham 85 days ago. Off since but likely to have developed further and should take the beating.
8-15 for 1m2f novice win at Nottingham in June; should bring potential to handicap debut.

Kept pulling out more to win over 1m4f on last two starts, so could have more in the tank.

Handicaps last three starts, easily best form a Doncaster 1m2f win; new trip and headgear.

Running creditably on AW and likely to stay 1m4f, but she has more to prove on turf.

Off the mark in a 1m4f novice; makes handicap debut off what does not look a great mark.

16:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

In a wide-open event marginal preference is for BEELEY, who finally got off the mark over 1m4f at Ffos Las last time. The daughter of Camelot has chased home some above-average rivals this year and a mark of 84 may underestimate her on handicap debut. The hat-trick seeking Billiegee is an obvious threat but this does require another career best, while similar comments apply to Typical Woman. Blessed Honour is going in the right direction and has to be considered on her handicap bow too.

BLESSED HONOUR looked a good prospect when scoring at Nottingham last time and her opening mark seems reasonable, so she's marginally preferred to the hat-trick seeking Typical Woman. Billiegee is one of several others with feasible claims in a race that isn't short of depth.

Five have set out their stall with wins in the last month but it is hard to ignore BLESSED HONOUR who is far less exposed.

Due To Henry

5.5
11/2(+45%)
(5) Due To Henry 11/2, Lightly-raced 3-y-o who did the job well accounting for 6 rivals from the front in a Windsor handicap in July. Hasn't done much wrong in 2 subsequent starts, albeit without leaving the impression that he has much in hand of his current mark.
Novice winner in June; pretty solid in his 1m2f handicaps but needs to resume progress.

Mustazeed

9/1(-20%)
(1) Mustazeed 9/1, Back-to-back C&D winner at the beginning of last season and returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Ascot in July. Best to draw a line through subsequent Goodwood effort (lost all chance at the start) and he's of strong interest back here.
Dual C&D winner last term; penultimate start (2nd) was clearly his best show this season.
10
3rd (10) Azahara Palace (13/2 +54%)
Azahara Palace

6.5
13/2(+54%)
(10) Azahara Palace 13/2, Recorded a fourth career success when coming from off the pace to land an 11-runner Leicester handicap (1m, good to soft) in May. Far from disgraced at Royal Ascot next time but it's been downhill all the way since and she needs to get back on track now upped in trip.
Disappointing on last two outings and has it to prove upped to 1m2f.
7
4th (7) Galyx (5/2 +62%)
Galyx

2.5
5/2(+62%)
(7) Galyx 5/2, Built on debut promise when taking 11-runner minor event at Windsor (1m, heavy) in May. Turned over when odds on for a 9f Carlisle novice later that month but it wasn't a bad effort by any means (especially given that he was carrying a penalty) and mark for this handicap debut looks a fair one.
Promising before he underperformed when 4-7 in a novice at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in May.
14

Bigbertiebassett

8/1(+33%)
(14) Bigbertiebassett 8/1, Positive start to this season when fourth in an Ascot handicap off a 7 lb higher mark than this. However, he's failed to build on that since, looking like a non-stayer upped to this trip the last twice.
He didn't prove his stamina for 1m2f on last two starts; best to wait until he does.
4
6th (4) Midnight Rumble (4/1 +60%)
Midnight Rumble

(4) Midnight Rumble 4/1, Generally progressive switched to handicaps this season, notching first success at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) in June and runner-up both subsequent starts at Sandown (had Crimson Road 1½ lengths behind in third on latter occasion). Solid each-way chance.
Won at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in June and 2nd at Sandown (1m2f) in his two starts since.

(12) Achillea 25/1, Has struggled all 5 starts up to a mile this season and, unless this step up in trip helps to spark a return to form, a similar outcome seems likely here.
She's not fired on all cylinders this term; goes beyond 8.6f for the first time.
3
8th (3) Amor Vincit Omnia (20/1 +20%)
Amor Vincit Omnia

20
20/1(+20%)
(3) Amor Vincit Omnia 20/1, A fairly useful performer up to 1m for Hugo Palmer in 2022 and, having changed hands for 25,000gns, he shaped as if retaining plenty of ability on both starts for current yard last spring. Resumes on an appealing enough mark but 16-month absence has to be a worry.
Off 498 days and it remains to be seen whether this ground is soft enough.

Will be a danger to all if able to back those efforts up now returned to turf, albeit it's easy to have reservations in that regard (little impact all 3 previous runs on turf).
Seven-race maiden; best form last two starts (AW) but turf form is well below that level.

Handicap debut 13 days ago was his best form but it does not suggest he's on a good mark.

17:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

The unexposed More Thunder has to be of interest having hit the crossbar on his handicap debut at Chester last time. That said, preference is for SHAMRAN after the son of Kingman got off the mark over a mile at Salisbury three weeks ago. A mark of 82 should be workable on that evidence and he may even improve for this step up in trip. Odin Legacy edges out Galyx and Midnight Rumble to be best of the rest.

Provided that MUSTAZEED gets away on terms a third C&D victory could be on the cards for this 6-y-o. He shaped as though his turn was again near at Ascot in July before completely blowing the start at Goodwood next time. More Thunder looks a big threat on the back of his creditable handicap debut second at Chester, while unexposed duo Galyx and Odin Legacy also need considering.

The winner may come from the less exposed 3yos, with SHAMRAN (nap) preferred given the style of his 1m novice win.

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.
