Had excuses at Haydock last week on debut; may leave that bare form well behind.
LTO Selection:

17:52 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

CROCUS TIME boasts a consistent level of form having finished third on all three starts to date, including here over 7f at the start of the month. The daughter of Acclamation was then beaten less than a length at Windsor and is expected to put her experience to best use. Les Bleus is open to improvement stepping up a furlong in trip after her debut effort at Sandown, while Al Shabab is expected to come forward from his first start at Newbury, where he displayed plenty of inexperience.

AL SHABAB was held back by greenness when failing to meet expectations at Newbury 2 weeks ago and is worth another chance in what looks an ordinary maiden for the track. Crocus Time has the best form so needs considering, while Calyx-colt Habrdi makes the most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.

Crocus Time is respected on form, while AL SHABAB and Les Bleus are interesting with improvement on the cards.

(2) Say Hello 6.5/1, Sixth of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (6f) 46 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers on first time and she's of interest on her debut form.
May turn things around now handicapping with headgear applied; not dismissed.

5/1(+58%)
(9) She Is A Keeper 5/1, Took another step forward when second of 5 in maiden at Chepstow (6.1f) 18 days ago, running on. Makes handicap debut and limit not yet reached.

Johnny Johnson

4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(1) Johnny Johnson 4.5/1, Progressive form, fourth of 12 in a maiden at Windsor at the beginning of the month. Opening mark very fair.
Form of latest effort (5f) has substance; fighting chance if he lasts home back at 6f.

Guns And Flowers

12
12/1(-33%)
(5) Guns And Flowers 12/1, First run since leaving Adrian Murray when winning 8-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 50 days ago, driven out. Makes handicap debut and may have more to offer for this yard.

Art Historian

7.5
7.5/1(+0%)
(4) Art Historian 7.5/1, Lacked a change of pace when fifth of 6 in nursery at Leicester (7f) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces may sharpen him up but drop back in trip isn't sure to suit.
Interesting with cheekpieces fitted, as he gives the impression headgear will suit.

Kitty Bennet

5.5
5.5/1(+39%)
(6) Kitty Bennet 5.5/1, Third of 10 in novice event at Yarmouth (5.2f) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut trying 6f for the first time.
Out of a 6f winner for her owners; interesting upped to this distance on handicap debut.

States

20
20/1(+0%)
(7) States 20/1, Improved for 6f when third at Newmarket (Rowley) in May. Well handicapped on that run but cheekpieces on for first time when eighth of 11 switched to a nursery. Form has a patchy look to it.
Seemed to run well on the other course here in May; has failed to back up that form.

Lightning Point

9/1(-20%)
(3) Lightning Point 9/1, Failed to progress from his debut, fourth of 8 in novice event (9/2) at Chester (5.1f, heavy) 13 days ago. Makes handicap debut for good yard returned to 6f.
Reasonably consistent thus far; holds solid claims on nursery debut.
11

Dan Dee Prince

8.5
8.5/1(-21%)
(11) Dan Dee Prince 8.5/1, Cheekpieces on for the first time when a good second of 9 in nursery at Pontefract (6f) 17 days ago. 2 lb rise looks very fair so he's on the shortlist.
Good second at Pontefract on nursery debut; that form has been boosted since; solid chance.
10
11th (10) Jungle Dance (50/1 -257%)
Jungle Dance

50
50/1(-257%)
(10) Jungle Dance 50/1, First run since leaving W. P. Browne when fifth of 11 in novice event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) a month ago. Needs to leave that run well behind.
Not especially solid but this switch to handicap level may have positive effect.
LTO Selection:

18:27 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Guns And Flowers got off the mark on her first start for Alice Haynes at Chelmsford last month and she has to warrant plenty of respect on her nursery bow. Dan Dee Prince benefited from cheekpieces when filling the runner-up spot at Pontefract and is capable of another decent showing, but the vote goes to SHE IS A KEEPER. Second at Chepstow on her latest outing, Richard Hannon's filly makes plenty of appeal off what appears to be a workable mark.

A tightly-knit nursery with DAN DEE PRINCE just about the most appealing at the foot of the weights given he reacted really well to cheekpieces at Pontefract 17 days ago. Johnny Johnson, Kitty Bennet and Guns And Flowers are just a trio of potential threats.

A typically tricky nursery for the time of year. DAN DEE PRINCE is the suggestion, ahead of She Is A Keeper.

Gordon Grey

3
3/1(+45%)
(6) Gordon Grey 3/1, Shaped well in a Newbury maiden last October and, while he's yet to match that, he appeals as the sort to do better now venturing into handicaps back up in trip under a change of rider.
May be capable of progress now handicapping; he is bred to do better.

(9) Al Hargah (3.33/1 -33%)
Al Hargah

3.33
3.33/1(-33%)
(9) Al Hargah 3.33/1, Improved taking on her elders for the first time when off the mark at Leicester (8.2f) in July. Took another step forward returned to her own age group when finding only one too good at Newbury (1m) last week and ought to go well again back up in trip.
Improved form in 1m handicaps this month; likely player if proving as good back at 1m2f.
3
(3) Eton College (4.5/1 +31%)
Eton College

4.5
4.5/1(+31%)
(3) Eton College 4.5/1, Turned in best effort of the season to end a losing run in 7-runner handicap (7/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 7 days ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Carries penalty and not an obvious type to follow up on this first try at 10f.
Regained the winning thread at Nottingham last week; still well treated on peak form.

Dead-heated in C&D event last August; inconsistent since; debut for new trainer.

(2) Squeezebox 6/1, Firmly back on track when registering a first success in 1m handicap at Yarmouth in June. Not seen to best effect from the same mark at Newcastle since and remains unexposed for current yard. Interesting on first try at 10f.
Off the mark at Yarmouth on most recent turf start; may have more to offer on grass.
8

Control

7
7/1(+72%)
(8) Control 7/1, Fair maiden who ran respectably without suggesting she's close to breaking her duck any time soon when sixth of 10 over C&D 4 weeks ago. Blinkers back on.
Remains a maiden and isn't particularly solid on 2023 form.
10
(10) Bond Spirit (22/1 +12%)
Bond Spirit

22
22/1(+12%)
(10) Bond Spirit 22/1, Has some quirks but in good form on the all-weather in the first half of the year, resuming winning ways at Southwell in May. However, found good run halted there last time and it remains to be seen if he's as effective on turf.
Both wins over 1m4f on Southwell AW; something to prove in this scenario.

Prince Abu

11

Tenrai

40
40/1(+0%)
(11) Tenrai 40/1, Shaped with some encouragement on debut but has gone backwards since. Step up in trip/first-time blinkers need to bring about improvement.
Hopes of a turnaround are pinned on new trip and first-time headgear.
LTO Selection:

19:02 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ETON COLLEGE gained his reward for a series of placed efforts when getting his head back in front at Nottingham last week and the manner of that victory suggested he could have even more to offer now stepping up in trip. Gordon Grey is an interesting contender on his handicap debut, while others for the shortlist include Al Hargah and Squeezebox.

LADY OF ARABIA paid the price for a big move into contention at Haydock 3 weeks ago, so is well worth another chance to resume her progress, especially with top rider James Doyle now taking over in the saddle. The step back up in trip is a slight question mark for Al Hargah but she's clearly going the right way now and has to be respected. Squeezebox still has potential and is another interesting runner on his first try at 10f.

Preference is for ETON COLLEGE, ahead of Squeezebox. Those two runners are both unexposed beyond 1m.

(4) Naqeeb 0.73/1, Very well bred. Improved from debut (easier to back) in first-time tongue tie when second of 14 in maiden at Newbury (10f, good) 70 days ago. Sets the bar pretty high with more to come up in trip.
Superbly bred; stayed on for second at Newbury when last seen; should improve further.

(3) Middle Earth 2.25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 9/4, second of 5 in minor event at Kempton (11f) 16 days ago, no match for very promising winner/stablemate. Good shout upped further in trip.
Clear promise at Sandown and Kempton, finishing second both times; solid chance.

200,000gns yearling; sole newcomer in the field; market instructive.

Good second in AW contest at Kempton last time; bit to prove back on turf.

LTO Selection:

19:35 Newmarket Stakes (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

As a half-brother to Baaeed and Hukum, NAQEEB's reputation went before him on his Leicester debut and he was sent off a warm order. He had to settle for third there, but showed the benefit of the experience when going one place better at Newbury and there are good races to be won with him. Middle Earth has done nothing wrong in finishing second at Sandown and Kempton, and is the obvious danger. The fillies Marmara Sea and Rosa Chinensis are worth a look, as is expensive newcomer Highland Song.

The very well-bred NAQEEB is promising and should have more to offer up in distance so he's hard to get away from. Middle Earth found only a very good prospect from his own yard too good at Kempton and is the danger with the longer trip sure to suit him also. Highland Song is an interesting newcomer.

There should be another step forward from the impeccably bred NAQEEB. Middle Earth is feared most.

Comfortable success in 7f handicap here last time; open to further progress.

Latest performance suggests an opening mark of 90 is surmountable; highly respected.

Perhaps not ideally suited by making the running last time; still unexposed.

The Gatekeeper

7.5
7.5/1(+17%)
(1) The Gatekeeper 7.5/1, Made a winning return from long absence at Newcastle (7f) in March and went in again on the Rowley Course here (7f, good) in May. Hasn't threatened in handful of starts since but this easier than his latest Bunbury Cup assignment and still unexposed at 1m.
Limitations have been exposed since 7f win on the other course here in May.
4

Signcastle City

9
9/1(+10%)
(4) Signcastle City 9/1, Salisbury maiden winner (at 6f) as a juvenile who returned with respectable efforts in handicaps at Haydock/on Rowley Mile. Caught wide and never figured at Epsom (7f) when last seen in June but gelded ahead of this and return to 1m promises to suit.
Gelding operation is a possible source of improvement; not dismissed.
LTO Selection:

20:10 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of TERWADA, who could not have done it any easier when getting off the mark at Nottingham and he could be well treated off a mark of 90 on his handicap debut. The fact he is proven over further should come in handy against recent course winner Pastiche, who has yet to go beyond 7f. Oliver Show and The Gatekeeper have the form to get involved too.

Having displayed promise on each of his first 2 starts, TERWADA took a marked step forward and forged clear in the style of a very useful performer when landing a Nottingham novice 4 weeks ago. A good-bodied sort, he's very much the type to go on improving now handicapping and earns the vote. Pastiche is similarly progressive and feared upped to 1m. Signcastle City (gelded since last run) remains with potential to do better also back at 1m.

On the back of a wide-margin success at Nottingham, TERWADA (nap) could well defy an opening mark of 90. Pastiche is feared most.

(10) Landlordtothestars 5.5/1, Won 7f Southwell handicap debut in February. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) in March but not in the same form switched to turf at Bath (1m, soft) in April. Given a break since. Needs to show he's as effective on the grass.
7f AW winner in February; off track since a low-key run at Bath on Good Friday.

(7) Porfin 7/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (7f) on Tuesday. Also placed on turf last week. Each-way claims if his busy spell doesn't catch up with him.
Consistent in recent weeks, most recently 2nd on AW on Tuesday; up in class; e-w claims.

(8) Red Evelyn 9/1, Pair of AW wins for Simon Pearce earlier in the year. Creditable third at Chepstow last month on first outing for John Butler but needs to shrug off a lesser run at Yarmouth since.
Two AW wins this year; good run on stable debut but latest start less convincing.

(9) Where's Freddy 10/1, Showed ability on debut in the spring but well held since, including on handicap debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 11/2) 22 days ago. Still early days and perhaps a first-time tongue strap will help him to get his career back on track.
Not built on debut promise in 3 runs since; now tried in a tongue-tie; check betting.

(6) Nahwand 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Kevin Ryan when eleventh of 12 on 6f Kempton handicap debut 22 days ago. Hooded for the first time now stepping up in trip.
Low-key stable/handicap debut 3 weeks ago; hood tried now; still early days for him.

12/1(-100%)
(3) Split Elevens 12/1, Won a brace of AW contests early this year. Bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when third of 10 over 1m here last time but this tricky ride wouldn't be a good thing to reproduce that form now.
Two AW wins this year; ran well over 1m here four weeks ago; one of two for John Butler.
LTO Selection:

20:45 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Kevin Stott seems to ride this track particularly well and his presence aboard KING OF THE DANCE could be crucial as Eve Johnson Houghton's four-year-old attempts to bounce back to the form that saw him make the frame at Newbury on his penultimate start. Lordsbridge Girl has been knocking on the door and might give him most to think about, although Split Elevens wasn't beaten far over a mile here last month.

LORDSBRIDGE GIRL is taken to gain reward for her recent consistency. Porfin arrives in form and should also be on the premises, while Where's Freddy failed to live up to market expectations on his handicap debut but perhaps a first-time tongue tie will help this unexposed 3-y-o to reveal his true ability.

With Overnight Oats absent, this could be the day that LORDSBRIDGE GIRL makes the breakthrough on turf.

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.
