Once More For Luck

28
28/1(+0%)

Yacowlef

12/1(+45%)
(10) Yacowlef 12/1, Capitalised on the drop in grade to get off the mark in Goodwood minor event (6f) in October and ran creditably on switch to handicapping at Newbury subsequently. Remains low mileage and could make his presence felt.

11/1(+21%)
(1) Shouldvebeenaring 11/1, Won 3 times last year and added to that tally on return at Southwell (6.1f) in January. Back to form when second of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 2/1) 13 days ago but has more on plate back on turf for handicap debut here.

Pinafore

40/1(+0%)
(11) King's Crown 40/1, Won Thirsk maiden in May but failed to trouble the judge thereafter and makes limited appeal on return here.

Ferrous

4.5
4.5/1(+36%)
(12) Ferrous 4.5/1, Built on debut third when winning 10-runner maiden at Doncaster (6f) in November and took another step forward when just foiled on reappearance at Southwell (6.1f) last month. Merits consideration.

7th (7) Changing Colours (2.5/1 +17%)
Changing Colours

2.5
2.5/1(+17%)
(7) Changing Colours 2.5/1, Bred to be smart and confirmed debut promise when taking minor event at Haydock (6f) in June. Far from disgraced on final start at Pontefract and must enter calculations on switch to handicapping. Gelded since last seen.

Kerdos

3.33
3.33/1(+26%)
(4) Kerdos 3.33/1, Looked a useful prospect when landing a Haydock maiden and Windsor minor event over this trip last year and made pleasing return when close second of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month. Likely more in the locker yet.
9
9th (9) Knebworth (28/1 +7%)
Knebworth

28
28/1(+7%)
(9) Knebworth 28/1, Bagged 3 wins from 8 runs last year and posted respectable fourth of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) on his reappearance last month. This is much more competitive, though.
8
10th (8) Swift Asset (66/1 -32%)
Swift Asset

66
66/1(-32%)
(8) Swift Asset 66/1, Ran well in graded company after his Windsor maiden success last year but was below form on final 2 outings and is more exposed than some of his rivals on handicap debut.
14
11th (14) Grace Angel (33/1 +18%)
Grace Angel

33
33/1(+18%)
(14) Grace Angel 33/1, Consistent sort who made the frame in all but 1 of her 11 starts in 2022. Likely to give another good account first time up here, although this longer trip may stretch her stamina.
3
12th (3) Bluelight Bay (33/1 -65%)
Bluelight Bay

33
33/1(-65%)
(3) Bluelight Bay 33/1, Confirmed debut promise when landing novice at Windsor (6f) in June and not disgraced in deeper company final 2 starts. Cheekpieces added for first crack at handicapping and opening mark could have been kinder.
15
13th (15) Installation (25/1 -108%)
Installation

25
25/1(-108%)
(15) Installation 25/1, Opened account (dead heated) at third time of asking when taking 6-runner minor event at Hamilton (5f, good), joining leader line. Should do better this term and is worth a second look in the market on handicap bow. 2 lb out of the weights.
5
14th (5) Immortal Beauty (33/1 -106%)
Immortal Beauty

33
33/1(-106%)
(5) Immortal Beauty 33/1, Much improved switched to nurseries last year, winning on July course (6f) and on Lingfield's polytrack (7f). However, below par final 2 starts and bit to prove on return.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

CHANGING COLOURS and KERDOS look like the most promising horses based on their past performances and potential for improvement. Ferrous, Pinafore, and Yacowlef also merit consideration.

Shouldvebeenaring kept on for second over 6f at Newcastle on his latest outing earlier this month, but he makes his handicap debut off top-weight here and could struggle with that in mind. Therefore, it may pay to side with ONCE MORE FOR LUCK, who was last seen finishing seven and three-quarter lengths behind Blackbeard in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes over C&D last September. Bluelight Bay contested much hotter races last summer and is another to bear in mind on his return, along with Changing Colours.

KERDOS looks a useful sprinter in the making and should be spot on after last month's fine Lingfield reappearance. He gets the nod in what looks a competitive opener. Pinafore and Changing Colours head the list of dangers.

Godolphin's CHANGING COLOURS (nap) is open to plenty of improvement in this 3yo campaign and he is the pick ahead of Grace Angel.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Newmarket Maiden (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary as there is limited information provided. However, some of the horses with noteworthy backgrounds and close relations to successful runners include Syllabus, Mighty Nebula, and Tribute. Additionally, the fact that the yards won this race in previous years may be a positive sign for their entries. Ultimately, it is important to consider additional factors such as current form, training, and race conditions when making predictions.

A half-brother to Listed-placed filly Sound Angela, New Business makes plenty of appeal on paper and the fact he cost 240,000gns as a yearling must make him of additional interest on his racecourse debut. Nonetheless, KATHAB's dam is a half-sister to dual Group 3 winner Chrysanthemum and the gelded son of Kingman must hold every chance of being in the mix. Others worthy of consideration include Enrico Caruso and Passenger for reputable stables.

The market should provide plenty of clues with no form to go on, but ENRICO CARUSO hails from a yard that has won the last 2 renewals of this maiden, so is an obvious place to start. The Simon & Ed Crisford stable has an excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so Penzance and Tribute are other likely types.

John & Thady Gosden have won the last two runnings and the well-bred ENRICO CARUSO is taken to make it three in a row for the stable.

1st (4) Garrus (9/1 -29%)
Garrus

9
9/1(-29%)
(4) Garrus 9/1, Bagged a Group 3 sprint at Deauville last summer before finishing a fine third in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at the same course. Just touched off in this race 12 months ago and, with his run in Saudi Arabia in February likely to have blown away the cobwebs, another bold show could be on the way.

Commanche Falls

20
20/1(+0%)
(1) Commanche Falls 20/1, Game sort who enjoyed another cracking season last year, landing the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood for second year running then filling the places on his next 3 starts. However, even allowing for the fact that he probably needed the run, his reappearance effort at Doncaster was disappointing.
2
3rd (2) Creative Force (0.62/1 +25%)
Creative Force

0.62
0.62/1(+25%)
(2) Creative Force 0.62/1, Winner of the 2021 Champions Sprint at Ascot and third of 18 in last season's renewal of that race, one of 4 solid efforts he produced in top sprints last year. 3-3 over this C&D and very much the one to beat eased in class for this seasonal reappearance.
8
4th (8) Tiber Flow (8/1 +33%)
Tiber Flow

8
8/1(+33%)
(8) Tiber Flow 8/1, Won 4 of his first 5 starts, including when edging out Ehraz in a 6f listed event at Newbury last spring. By no means discredited in Group company thereafter but a clear personal-best will be needed if he's to emerge on top here. Gelded.
5
5th (5) Jumby (7.5/1 +38%)
Jumby

7.5
7.5/1(+38%)
(5) Jumby 7.5/1, Likeable type who gained a fifth career success in the Hungerford Stakes at Newbury in August. Failed to land a meaningful blow on his final 3 starts of 2022 but acquitted himself well when third on his reappearance in this race last term and he's an each-way player.
6
6th (6) Saint Lawrence (40/1 -60%)
Saint Lawrence

40
40/1(-60%)
(6) Saint Lawrence 40/1, Winless since 2020 and while he performed well on a couple of occasions during a truncated campaign last season, this is a big ask following an 8-month absence (gelded in the interim).
7
7th (7) Silky Wilkie (9/1 +36%)
Silky Wilkie

9
9/1(+36%)
(7) Silky Wilkie 9/1, In good form on the AW during the winter and looked better than ever when storming clear of his rivals in the Scottish Sprint Cup at Musselburgh (5f, soft) recently. Much more on his plate now upped in class but dangerous to discount all the same. Yard also saddles Fast Response.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Newmarket Group 3 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, Creative Force seems to be the one to beat with a strong record in top sprints and a perfect record over the course and distance. Garrus and Jumby also have promising records and could be each-way players, while Tiber Flow and Silky Wilkie may struggle in this class. Commanche Falls had a disappointing reappearance, and Saint Lawrence likely faces a big challenge after a long absence.

CREATIVE FORCE makes his return to action following a far from disgraced third in a Grade 1 at Keeneland over an extended 5f last November and he must hold every chance. He was Group 1-placed behind Kinross in the British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot on his penultimate outing and has proven to run well fresh in the past. Jumby landed a Group 2 at Newbury last August and could bounce back from his most recent runs off a break. Ehraz is another to bear in mind.

Provided he is fully tuned-up, CREATIVE FORCE will prove hard to beat for his powerful, in-form connections. The 5-y-o failed to add to his tally in 2022 but performed with plenty of credit in four of the hottest sprints of the season and this should serve as the perfect springboard for a return to Group 1 company soon enough. Garrus, who was only just denied in this race 12 months ago, is second choice ahead of Ehraz and Jumby.

This looks a good opportunity for CREATIVE FORCE on his return to action. Garrus also has a good run in him.

7th (6) Mysterious Night (1.88/1 +6%)
Mysterious Night

1.88
1.88/1(+6%)
(6) Mysterious Night 1.88/1, Dark Angel colt who signed off for last season firmly on the up, bagging Summer Stakes at Woodbine (8f, firm) in September by 5¾ lengths. Expected to be bang there for stable which has a fine record in this event.
LTO Selection:

15:35 Newmarket Group 3 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to definitively predict which horse will do well based on this summary as each has their own strengths and potential. However, the Mysterious Night and The Foxes colts seem to have solid records and are expected to improve, while Mostabshir and Ancestral Land are described as having lots more to offer and progressing with each run. Mr Mistoffelees may struggle in a tougher field. Ultimately, it will depend on the specific race and conditions on the day.

Mysterious Night was the choice of William Buick over stable companion Naval Power, before the latter was declared a non-runner, and the son of Dark Angel was a Grade 1 winner at Woodbine in September when tackling a mile for the first time. The dry forecast will aid his cause on his first run since and he warrants serious consideration. Mostabshir comes from a family connections know well, especially his half-sister Nazeef, a two-time Group 1 heroine, but he may need more time to come to himself and the vote goes to the Royal Lodge winner THE FOXES. Considered good enough to run in the Chesham at Royal Ascot, having shaped with promise on debut at Newbury, he was given time to recover before winning a Goodwood maiden and backed that up over C&D in a contest run at a slow pace. The form has worked out well, with the runner-up winning a Group 1 in France and the third landing the Zetland, and conditions are unlikely to faze him.

Charlie Appleby has an excellent record in the Craven and again looks to hold sway with his MYSTERIOUS NIGHT, who won at Woodbine when last seen and could have more to offer over 1m. Royal Lodge victor The Foxes and Mostabshir should ensure this is no one-horse race however.

Charlie Appleby and William Buick have teamed up to win three of the last four runnings and they combine with MYSTERIOUS NIGHT.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, but Britannica, Time's Eye, Decipher, and Queens Award are all mentioned as appealing newcomers to watch for in the betting. Prepense and Shoolaa are mentioned as potential improvers, while Awtaar may struggle against stronger competition. Willow Tree is not given a clear likelihood of success but may be worth paying attention to based on the yard's recent performance.

Time's Eye (second) and BRITANNICA (fifth) were closely matched over C&D in October, with the front five horses on that occasion covered by just-three quarters of a length. The former had improved from her debut effort at Salisbury, when just headed in the dying strides by a filly who contests the Nell Gwyn on Wednesday, but the latter, who was making her debut, is expected to know more this time and holds every chance of reversing that form. Spring Dawn will likely prove popular on debut for top connections, while any market support for Decipher would make her very much of interest.

PREPENSE produced a very promising debut effort when runner-up behind subsequent Fillies' Mile heroine Commissioning here last summer and, whilst she couldn't build on that at Chester, there's a good chance she can get back on the up following a wind op. Time's Eye, runner-up in a C&D event in the autumn and Britannica (narrowly behind her) can emerge as the chief threats, whilst Spring Dawn is a newcomer to note.

Slight preference among those who have run is for BRITANNICA who made her debut when Time's Eye finished narrowly ahead in October.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it seems that Liberty Lane and Majestic Warrior are the most promising horses. Both won their debut races and are expected to improve in their next outings. Quantum Cat and Prince Maxi are also worth keeping an eye on as they are described as promising types, with Quantum Cat having won his debut race and Prince Maxi being a 160,000 gns yearling with a strong pedigree.

Given he holds entries in both the English and Irish Derby's, LIBERTY LANE currently looks to be one of the flag bearers for Karl Burke's three-year-old colts this season. The son of Teofilo impressed with a five-length success on his sole start as a juvenile and while that form has taken a few subsequent knocks, this fellow still has bags of potential and is a highly appealing option on his reappearance. All-weather scorers Majestic Warrior and Quantum Cat rate as the pick of today's opposition.

LIBERTY LANE looked a very good prospect when making a winning debut at Nottingham in the autumn and a couple of Group 1 entries suggest he's been showing all the right signs at home. A successful reappearance is therefore a distinct possibility, for all there's plenty of depth to this novice with Quantum Cat and Majestic Warrior also unbeaten and likely to improve plenty.

Nottingham soft-ground winner LIBERTY LANE is the easiest to see in the same role today, with Majestic Warrior next best.

(4) Harry Magnus 5/1, Reached a fairly useful level at 2 yrs and didn't need to be at best when landing the odds in minor event at Kempton (7f) in January. Tongue strap on first time and he's a major player on handicap debut.

(2) Novus 12/1, Built on the promise of her first 2 starts when winning 16-runner maiden at Newbury (6.5f, heavy) in October, benefiting from more of a test of stamina. Will be suited by 7f on her first start in a handicap.

(17) Rossmore Nation 14/1, Recorded his second handicap victory of the year when successful at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in March. Ran at least as well when second at the same C&D only 6 days later and he can give another good account in his current form.

(10) Thunder Ball 18/1, Proved consistent rather than progressive in 2022, finishing in the frame in nurseries at Kempton on his final 3 starts of the year. Will need to find extra on his return if he's to shed his maiden tag in this contest.

(18) Grand Central 125/1, Has made the frame 3 times for his current yard this year, but he remains a maiden and below-par efforts on his last 2 outings (in first-time visor on latest). Eyeshields and blinkers now back on, but change of headgear not enough to tempt.

17:15 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform the best from this summary, as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, some horses that stand out as potential contenders are Harry Magnus, Naaser, Novus, and Rossmore Nation, all of whom have shown recent form and potential for improvement. Ultimately, handicapping races are often unpredictable, and any horse can surprise and win on the day.

HARRY MAGNUS has shaped well on the all-weather after undergoing surgery for a wind problem and having impressed with his attitude when he successfully stepped up to 7f at Kempton in January, he is taken to follow up on his turf return with a first-time tongue-tie applied. Monopolise, who won over C&D last autumn, is another serious contender after a respectable effort on the all-weather 15 days ago. Novus, Chartwell House and Havana Blue also warrant consideration.

The finale can go the way of HARRY MAGNUS, who got off the mark at Kempton earlier this year and remains capable of better now handicapping with a tongue tie added. Heading the list of dangers is Giant, whose runner-up effort at Kempton has been boosted by the third and fourth winning since, while Havana Blue and Naaser are two others who merit consideration.

There are several unexposed contenders to consider but LAND OF SUMMER is on a handy mark and is preferred to Giant.

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.
