LTO Selection:

13:55 Newmarket Maiden (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A tentative selection can go to MONTEROSA, who seeks to enhance her yard's record in this contest. The daughter of Lope De Vega is out of the Oaks-heroine Anapurna and, while further will suit in time, this could be an ideal starting point. Charlie Appleby often excels with his juveniles here, so both Beautiful Love and Silver Feather must be respected. Raheena, See The Fire and Surveyor also warrant a market check.

A field of juvenile fillies, all debutantes, and a number that catch the eye on paper. The market should provide extra clues, but Godolphin's BEAUTIFUL LOVE, a daughter of Siyouni, certainly ticks a lot of boxes and gets the nod. Monterosa, who's out of an Oaks winner, and Heartfullofstars are highly respected, too.

Siding with a Charlie Appleby 2yo here often reaps rewards and BEAUTIFUL LOVE looks the pick of his pair on jockey arrangements.

Lady Wulfrun

2.25
2.25/1(+44%)
(8) Lady Wulfrun 2.25/1, Improving by the run and 7f sure to suit now handicapping. One to note.
Has improved with each of her three runs and was beaten less than 2l at Carlisle.

2nd (1) Miss Roberts (7/1 +30%)
Miss Roberts

7
7/1(+30%)
(1) Miss Roberts 7/1, Not really gone on from her promising second on the other course her (6f) on debut but faced a stiff task latest and this looks more her level now handicapping up in trip.
Best run was first time out; bit risky here burdened with top weight on nursery debut.
7
3rd (7) Phoenix Duchess (6.5/1 -63%)
Phoenix Duchess

6.5
6.5/1(-63%)
(7) Phoenix Duchess 6.5/1, Much improved when third in C&D maiden 3 weeks ago, looking well suited by 7f. Second has won easily since so a 3 lb rise looks workable and she has leading claims on her handicap debut.
First run over 7f when third to a good filly in a recent course maiden; interesting.
6
4th (6) Sleven (3.5/1 +13%)
Sleven

3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(6) Sleven 3.5/1, Improved further when chasing home a useful-looking newcomer at Pontefract (6f). 7f will suit now tackling a nursery and he can progress again. One to consider for red-hot yard.
Just the type to pay his way in nurseries and stepping up to 7f looks a good move.
9
5th (9) Magic Light (16/1 -14%)
Magic Light

16
16/1(-14%)
(9) Magic Light 16/1, Showed plenty behind a useful-looking one on second start at Windsor (6f) and 7f will suit now going handicapping.
Shown ability; there's stamina in her pedigree and 7f should suit now handicapping.
5
6th (5) Quickfire (16/1 -14%)
Quickfire

16
16/1(-14%)
(5) Quickfire 16/1, Off the mark in thin 7f Lingfield (turf) maiden in June but struggled on handicap debut at Ascot (6f) next time. Mark down 4 lb at least.
Rain-hit conditions were perhaps a factor in his disappointing nursery debut at Ascot.
2
7th (2) Parker's Piece (6/1 +0%)
Parker's Piece

6
6/1(+0%)
(2) Parker's Piece 6/1, Good placed efforts in 6f AW events the last twice and could be more to come from this 6-figure breeze-up buy now handicapping up in trip.
Placed in last two qualifying runs on AW but not thrown in for his handicap debut.
4
8th (4) Persian Phoenix (25/1 -150%)
Persian Phoenix

25
25/1(-150%)
(4) Persian Phoenix 25/1, Was suited by the step up to 7f when winning Wolverhampton novice in June but proved to be a disappointment switched to a nursery at Chester (7f, soft) next time. Must bounce back.
Made all on the AW and soft ground perhaps not ideal on nursery debut.
3
9th (3) Biloxi Boy (12/1 -33%)
Biloxi Boy

12
12/1(-33%)
(3) Biloxi Boy 12/1, Won 5f Ripon novice in June on second start. Bit disappointing twice since (including on nursery debut latest) but 7f should suit if he can get back on track under in-form apprentice.
Getting back on fast ground may help but it's hard to call him well handicapped.
LTO Selection:

14:30 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

PHOENIX DUCHESS wasn't able to lay a glove on Carolina Reaper (due to run in the Sweet Solera at 3.40) when third over C&D three weeks ago, but she did finish close to the second that day, who has since bolted up at Lingfield. This mark doesn't look beyond her with that in mind and she gets the nod. Miss Roberts merits respect eased in grade, while others to note include Sleven and Lady Wulfrun.

PHOENIX DUCHESS ran on well when third in a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago and there should be more to come from her again now handicapping. She gets the vote over Sleven, Lady Wulfrun and Biloxi Boy in a useful-looking nursery.

Most of these can be given a squeak but the suggestion is PHOENIX DUCHESS who made pleasing late headway in a maiden here recently.

1st (6) Edge Of Darkness (2/1 +56%)
Edge Of Darkness

2
2/1(+56%)
(6) Edge Of Darkness 2/1, Australia gelding who left reappearance run in his wake to land 7-runner novice at Thirsk in May, leading under pressure 3f out and ridden out. Improved again under more testing conditions when following up back in handicap company there (12f, heavy) last week and must be respected in hat-trick bid.
3yo who is going the right way over 1m4f; remains on an appealing mark.
10
2nd (10) D Day Arvalenreeva (6.5/1 +46%)
D Day Arvalenreeva

6.5
6.5/1(+46%)
(10) D Day Arvalenreeva 6.5/1, Progressed again to get off the mark on turf/handicap debut at Leicester (11.8f) in May but found her run of good form coming to a halt there last time. Bounce back required.
Was running well until getting stuck in the mud at Leicester; still of interest.
8
3rd (8) Tajanis (2.25/1 +10%)
Tajanis

2.25
2.25/1(+10%)
(8) Tajanis 2.25/1, Improved again in first-time cheekpieces despite still looking green when second of 5 in minor event at Doncaster (11.9f, firm) 36 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity to heavily-eased winner. Makes handicap debut and may do better still.
Flattered by proximity to a smart one in his final novice but still of major interest here.
3
4th (3) Ready To Shine (10/1 -25%)
Ready To Shine

10
10/1(-25%)
(3) Ready To Shine 10/1, Suited by a test of speed at the trip when off the mark at Thirsk (1½m) in June. Returned to a similar level when second of 10 over 11.5f at Haydock last month and ought to remain competitive under conditions that suit her well.
Two of her last three efforts read well and she's not yet fully exposed.
9
5th (9) Merrijig (28/1 +15%)
Merrijig

28
28/1(+15%)
(9) Merrijig 28/1, Fair bumper performer who has made little impact in 3 maidens on the Flat but more realistic chance now handicapping.
Seven defeats include four bumpers (placed); not sure how lenient this mark is.
7
6th (7) On The Right Track (25/1 -25%)
On The Right Track

25
25/1(-25%)
(7) On The Right Track 25/1, Bounced back to his best to notch a sixth career success in 3-runner handicap at Bath (11.6f, firm) 56 days ago, showing a superior turn of foot to the favourite. A 3 lb higher mark in deeper race could well find him out, though.
Five of his six wins have been in Class 6s, including the latest at Bath; only 3lb higher.
1
7th (1) Sea Grey (4/1 +43%)
Sea Grey

4
4/1(+43%)
(1) Sea Grey 4/1, Winner of sole 2-y-o start for Andrew Balding. Has drawn a blank since but ran well on his first try at around 2m at York 14 days ago. Drop back in trip isn't sure to be beneficial but that form is working out well. Visor on for 1st time.
New visor probably needs to eke out some improvement to defy his current mark.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

TAJANIS was no match for the progressive Sweet William at Doncaster on his latest outing, but the unexposed son of Australia might be on a workable mark on that evidence. He is fancied to shed the maiden tag here at the main expense of Edge Of Darkness, who arrives having notched up a brace of victories at Thirsk. Ready To Shine is another to consider.

TAJANIS was no match for Sweet William at Doncaster on his most recent outing, but there's no shame in that and he strikes as the type to eke out a bit more improvement now switching to handicap company, so gets the nod to come out on top. Last week's Lingfield-scorer Major Major is up in grade but could well progress further, with Dashing Panther completing the shortlist.

While flattered to get within 5l of last week's Goodwood winner Sweet William, TAJANIS has to be of strong interest at this level.

1st (3) Fallen Angel (2.25/1 +25%)
Fallen Angel

2.25
2.25/1(+25%)
(3) Fallen Angel 2.25/1, Too Darn Hot filly who won on 7f Haydock debut in May and confirmed she's a useful prospect when ½-length second of 9 to Shuwari in 7f Sandown listed race 2 months later, with the reopposing Soprano a length back in third. Likely capable of better again and the one to beat.
Debut winner who was then second in a Listed; has Group 1 entry.
7
2nd (7) Soprano (4/1 -14%)
Soprano

4
4/1(-14%)
(7) Soprano 4/1, Won on Rowley Course debut. Excellent third of 17 in Albany at Royal Ascot next time but she finished a length behind the reopposing Fallen Angel when third in a 7f Sandown listed race since. Needs to get back to the Ascot form.
Placed at Group 3/Listed level; strong form contender and can improve on latest run.
5
3rd (5) Les Bleus (33/1 -32%)
Les Bleus

33
33/1(-32%)
(5) Les Bleus 33/1, Blue Point filly who left her 5f Sandown debut in May well behind when seeing off 13 rivals in a 6f novice here a fortnight ago. There's likely more to come but this is a hike in grade.
Narrow win here recently no great advertisement for her prospects at this higher level.
4
4th (4) Jabaara (8.5/1 +6%)
Jabaara

8.5
8.5/1(+6%)
(4) Jabaara 8.5/1, Looked a fine prospect when justifying favouritism on her 6f Rowley Course debut in May. Unable to get competitive in the Albany at Royal Ascot but given a bit of time since and no surprise were she to make a much bigger impact at Group 3 level this time.
Impressed on debut in May and not a lot went right for her in the Albany.
1
5th (1) Carolina Reaper (4.5/1 +10%)
Carolina Reaper

4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(1) Carolina Reaper 4.5/1, Beaten only just over 2 lengths into sixth in the Chesham at Royal Ascot on her second start and made no mistake back in maiden company over C&D (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Represents the same connections as last year's winner Lakota Sioux.
Already performed to a smart level and she has the size and scope to get better.
8
6th (8) Wild Goddess (3.5/1 +13%)
Wild Goddess

3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(8) Wild Goddess 3.5/1, Camelot filly who was held back by inexperience on her Haydock debut and was duly all the sharper when a 4-length winner over C&D last month. Has to be considered a useful prospect for her top stable.
Eyecatcher on 6f debut and then strolled home by 4l over C&D three weeks ago.
6
7th (6) Queen's Reign (11/1 +45%)
Queen's Reign

11
11/1(+45%)
(6) Queen's Reign 11/1, Confirmed debut promise when comfortably landing a C&D maiden in June. This a jump in class but she looks capable of better.
Behind Fallen Angel on debut but looked good when making all here the next time.
2
8th (2) Cry Fiction (28/1 -56%)
Cry Fiction

28
28/1(-56%)
(2) Cry Fiction 28/1, Made a winning debut over 6f at Windsor in May and found a good chunk of improvement when second in a 6f course listed race next time. Only sixth of 10 in the Princess Margaret at Ascot since but she does leave the impression 7f will suit.
Twice beaten since her winning debut and looks vulnerable at this level.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Newmarket Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

FALLEN ANGEL showed a good attitude when second over 7f at Sandown last time in Listed company and she appears primed to offer another bold bid here. This better ground is likely to suit Karl Burke's runner and she can build on that effort. Soprano was just a length behind the selection on that occasion and another good battle can be expected, while last-time-out winners Carolina Reaper and Wild Goddess can also compete in this hotter contest.

FALLEN ANGEL is taken to confirm last month's Sandown superiority over Soprano and provide in-form Karl Burke with another winner. Best of the remainder could be Godolphin's Wild Goddess who ran out an easy winner of a C&D novice 3 weeks ago and looks capable of making her mark in a higher grade.

A smart renewal. CAROLINA REAPER (nap) has already performed to a smart level and appeals as a filly with a lot more to offer.

(2) Gweedore 5.5/1, Won 3 times in 2022 and well prepared to make a winning return at Musselburgh. Resumed winning ways when forcing a dead heat under this rider at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and likely to give another good account.

Impressive 7f winner at York two starts ago but struggled off 11lb higher mark next time.

(1) Lethal Levi 4.5/1, Yet to score this term but some good efforts in defeat and on a good mark on pick of form. Excellent record here so big run could be on the cards if seeing out longer trip (raced mostly at 6f).
High-class sprinter, 2-3 over 6f here; sole 7f run as 2yo; tough against progressive types.
10

Thunder Ball

Backed that up when a fine fourth of 29 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot in June. Closely matched with Urban Sprawl on that form. Going softer than good an unknown.
Major improvement to win 7f novice; nothing between him and Urban Sprawl on 1m form since.

Smart at 6f when on song; question mark about form this year; has 7f form on AW.

Excellent third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot and presumably found the run coming too soon when last of 6 here a week later. Freshened up since and capable of bouncing back. All ground seems to come alike to him.
Two fine efforts in 7f and 1m handicaps this year; latest run may have come too soon.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Gweedore dead-heated for the win last time over 7f at Doncaster and he looks likely to be in the mix once again, but he may be susceptible to some better treated rivals such as LETHAL LEVI. Karl Burke's gleding has been dropped 1lb in the ratings after his fifth over 6f at York last time and the form of that race is turning out well, with the first and second subsequently winning. Amber Island completes the shortlist.

LETHAL LEVI has an excellent record here and is on a good mark on the pick of his form, so could be worth chancing having a rare start at this trip. There was little between Thunder Ball and Urban Sprawl when placed in the Britannia at Royal Ascot and the two 3-y-os in the field head the dangers.

Sir Winston is respected but this can lie between URBAN SPRAWL and Thunder Ball who are hard to split on Royal Ascot form.

(3) Merlin The Wizard 3.33/1, Off the mark at third attempt in a Kempton novice (7f) in June and built on that when scoring comfortably on handicap debut at Ffos Las (7.3f) later that month. Not disgraced when fifth in a stronger affair at Sandown (7f) since and he's still unexposed at 1m.

6/1(-33%)
(1) Sceptic 6/1, AW maiden winner who continued theme of race-by-race progress to make third start in handicaps a winning one at Goodwood (1m) in June. Sandown effort thereafter was disappointing but 5-week break could well see him bounce back.
Goodwood winner; only 3yo in a tough handicap when nowhere at Sandown.

3.33/1(+52%)
(7) Wind In Your Sails 3.33/1, Sea The Stars filly who showed improved form and a likeable attitude to boot when landing a Thirsk novice (1m) in June. Had hopeless task from position when sixth on handicap debut at Chester (10.3f) later that month but she remains open to improvement in this sphere.
Made all for her novice win but never dangerous when held up at Chester.

Sniper's Eye

3.33
3.33/1(-33%)
(6) Sniper's Eye 3.33/1, €160,000 breeze-up purchase who took his form up a notch on qualifying run when second to a useful sort in a C&D novice 7 weeks ago. Likely there's more to come on back of just 3 starts now handicapping and he's one to be interested in.
Improved 2nd here; brings potential into handicaps and needs taking seriously.

Daysofourlives

8
8/1(-23%)
(4) Daysofourlives 8/1, Churchill gelding who has a pretty high head carriage but produced a taking finishing effort to open his account at third attempt at Kempton (1m) in November. Clearly has plenty of ability but this looks a hot introduction to handicaps. back from 8 months off.
Perhaps on a fair mark but having his first run since November might not be ideal.
8
7th (8) Cancan In The Rain (12/1 -20%)
Cancan In The Rain

12
12/1(-20%)
(8) Cancan In The Rain 12/1, Uncomplicated sort who doubled career tally from a 2 lb lower mark in a C&D handicap on penultimate start in June. Had soft ground as a plausible excuse for his latest Goodwood effort and overall profile suggests he will bounce back quickly.
C&D winner on good ground; presumably resented it soft at Glorious Goodwood.
5
8th (5) Signcastle City (16/1 +0%)
Signcastle City

16
16/1(+0%)
(5) Signcastle City 16/1, Salisbury maiden winner (at 6f) as a juvenile who returned with respectable efforts in handicaps at Haydock/on Rowley Mile. However, underwhelming more recently, never figured on back of being gelded/8 weeks off in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. May well be sharper now.
Only 1-8; capable of a big run off this mark but he's become a risky proposition.
LTO Selection:

16:50 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

DAYSOFOURLIVES has made a pleasing start to his career and he got off the mark when scoring over 1m at Kempton last time. Marco Botti's charge makes his handicap bow here and an opening mark of 85 doesn't appear out of his reach. Better can be expected of Sceptic and he is entitled to respect, while Merlin The Wizard should also be in the mix.

SNIPER'S EYE continued his theme of race-by-race progress when runner-up behind a useful Godolphin inmate 7 weeks ago (pulled clear of the remainder) and, with further progress in the offing now handicapping, he could be the answer. Wind In Your Sails remains the type to do better herself in handicaps and is feared, whilst Sceptic could bounce back from a lesser effort at Sandown following a 5-week break.

The tentative suggestion is SNIPER'S EYE who had subsequent winners behind him when runner-up here in his final novice.

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.
