13:30 Newbury Group 3 (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

All eyes will be on Sense Of Duty, who went through the first half of the 2022 campaign unbeaten in three races, culminating in a comprehensive defeat of last week's Portland hero Annaf in the Chipchase at Newcastle. Such a lengthy enforced spell on the sidelines has to be a concern, though, and match practice is on RAASEL's side, with Mick Appleby's speedster also proven over this trip. He was slightly disappointing at Doncaster last weekend, but finished ahead of Nymphadora when third in the King George at Glorious Goodwood.

SENSE OF DUTY remains a top prospect if all is well and is taken to make a winning return. The admirable Raasel looks the danger.

Raasel looks a solid option but NYMPHADORA is useful on her day and could enjoy the run of things here.

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

Rain-affected conditions could help SALT BAY recapture his sparkle because he made the frame in the Group 1 Criterium International on heavy ground as a two-year-old so a mark of 105 could be lenient for his handicap debut. Like the selection, Laafi began the season in a Classic trial and he has been gelded after a lacklustre Royal Ascot display. Valsad justified favouritism at Southwell's Racing League fixture and should have more to offer. Sea King was disappointing in the Old Borough Cup but will appreciate the slower surface, while Oneforthegutter almost sprung a surprise in last week's Mallard.

VALSAD has shown improved form on his last 2 starts, getting back to winning ways at Southwell 10 days ago, and he remains lightly raced at this sort of trip. The 4-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of Oneforthegutter, who produced his best effort of the season when runner-up at Doncaster last time. Sea King also merits consideration.

It's a small but fascinating field. Veteran NOT SO SLEEPY could prove a handful and is preferred to Oneforthegutter and Valsad.

14:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Totnes is now 8lb higher than for last month's Chepstow success but the progressive daughter of Kingman merits respect, as does Balance Play, who could bounce back having been well held in a warm heritage handicap at York's Ebor Festival. However, the pair have each endured a harder campaign than LE MANS, who was able to shrug off an opening mark of 78 when winning at Salisbury. A 6lb rise is unlikely to halt further progress and the unexposed Kodiac filly gets the nod.

Ralph Beckett's BALANCE PLAY is taken to resume his progression back on a softer surface. There should be more to come from fellow 3-y-o Le Mans who is second choice ahead of Gaassee, who has a good record in the mud.

Mustazeed looks best of the older options. However, the 3yos have potential and BALANCE PLAY (nap) can bounce back from York.

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

Haatem failed to back up his Vintage Stakes win when down the field in the Gimcrack, but he sets the standard on official ratings and looks set to go well under his penalty. Array (third) is fancied to reverse Sirenia Stakes form with Seven Questions (second), but the vote goes to MISTER SKETCH. The form of his recent Salisbury romp is up for debate, but he has been bought by Wathnan Racing since and the fact he is pitched in at the deep end straight away might be indicative of the esteem in which he is held.

Not the strongest of renewals but MISTER SKETCH looked potentially smart when a wide-margin winner at Salisbury so could be the way to go. There wasn't much between Seven Questions and Array when placed in the Sirenia Stakes at Kempton 2 weeks ago and they head the dangers.

Well-bred Juddmonte colt ARRAY gets the percentage call. Seven Questions is second choice ahead of Mister Sketch.

NATIONAL INTEREST, who cost 800,000 euros as a yearling, only found one too good in a valuable race at Deauville on his debut last month. The son of Kingman should only improve for that experience and could be hard to beat if doing so. New Chelsea and Trafalgar Square are others with valid form claims, while Feigning Madness is the pick of the newcomers.

NATIONAL INTEREST is clearly held in high regard (holds an entry in the Futurity Trophy) and, having shown bags of ability when runner-up in a Deauville maiden on his debut last month, there's no real urge to take him on in his bid to go one better. Trafalgar Square made a pleasing start to his career over C&D back in July and is second choice, with Feigning Madness clear pick of the newcomers before market clues.

Haggas-trained NATIONAL INTEREST can emerge on top, having been runner-up when he chased a big prize at Deauville first time out.

In an open event, marginal preference is for SPANISH STAR, who caught the eye twice over 6f at Goodwood last month. The step up in trip should help this eight-year-old and he is clearly on a workable mark right now. The unexposed Ben Hamrash has won two of his last three starts and is an obvious threat to the selection, while Razeyna and Pumalin Park are others to note.

A few with chances but PEARLE D'OR arrives at the top of his game and on a handy mark too so gets the vote at the chief expense of Captain Cuddles, who should prove suited by reverting to this trip. Spanish Star and Ben Hamrash are two others who warrant plenty of respect in this competitive handicap.

Returned to the scene of her useful debut win, RAZEYNA gets the vote. Captain Cuddles is second choice.

17:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MUDSKIPPER bounced back to form in impressive fashion when a clear winner at Salisbury at the beginning of the month and he is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite a 6lb rise in the ratings. The unexposed Welleef has to be of interest on his handicap debut, while Bodorgan edges out Golspie and Metal Merchant to be best of the rest.

A tricky finale to solve but CITY OF YORK is really getting his act together now, so David Simcock's gelding is fancied to complete the hat-trick at the expense of Metal Merchant, who is in better heart- than recent form figures suggest and has been given some respite from the handicapper. Mudskipper and Golspie were 1-2 at Salisbury earlier this month and they can do battle for bronze on this occasion.

Class-droppers METAL MERCHANT and Bodorgan head the shortlist, ahead of Mudskipper and Golspie.

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.
