(6) Watcha Matey 3.33/1, Has made the frame on all 5 starts so far, 2 lengths third of 7 in nursery at Haydock (7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Should be in the mix once more.

(9) North View 1/1, 9,500 gns yearling, Expert Eye colt. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Fallen For You. Cheap purchase but holds a Champagne Stakes entry and showed plenty when third of 11 in maiden at Ascot (6f, good to soft, 10/1) on debut 20 days ago. Will stay and sets a good standard.

6.5/1(+35%)

9/1(+10%)

25/1(-14%)
(4) Cuban Harry 25/1, Foaled January 22. 45,000 gns yearling, 20,000 gns 2-y-o, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m-9.5f winner Twistaline and 6f winner Tipofthetongue. Dam 2-y-o 5.3f winner.

Flag Of St George

6.5
6.5/1(-63%)
(1) Flag Of St George 6.5/1, Opened account at Newmarket in May and improved on that form when second of 6 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good, 10/3). Excuses either side of that and should go well.
Looks interesting on his best form but he has a mixed record; risks attached at new trip.

8th (7) Havana Sky (40/1 -60%)
Havana Sky

40
40/1(-60%)
(7) Havana Sky 40/1, 12,000 gns foal, 16,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Data Protection and winner abroad by Acclamation. 33/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 20 days ago, slowly away. May well do better.
Well held at Newcastle on recent debut and he's probably one for further down the line.

(8) Havana Touch 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 6 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) 10 days ago.

1st (7) Swiss Star (7.5/1 -67%)
Swiss Star

7.5
7.5/1(-67%)
(7) Swiss Star 7.5/1, Won 6f Doncaster novice last month. Strong in the betting on handicap debut over C&D next time but unable to find improvement as she chased home Porfin and Epic Express. Retains potential for top yard.
Still unexposed but was behind two of today's rivals over C&D latest; needs more progress.
10
2nd (10) Special Mayson (4.5/1 +63%)
Special Mayson

4.5
4.5/1(+63%)
(10) Special Mayson 4.5/1, Looked back in form when third at Leicester (7f) 7 weeks ago, the race not being run to suit him like it was others. Return to 6f will suit and one to note off last winning mark.
On last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark after a short break.
9
3rd (9) Ray Vonn (33/1 -230%)
Ray Vonn

33
33/1(-230%)
(9) Ray Vonn 33/1, Matched previous best on stable debut when second in 9-runner Wolverhampton maiden (7f) in April. No excuses when third behind subsequent Royal Ascot winner Docklands at Kempton later that month but had wind op since and switches to handicaps back on grass/down in trip now.
0-7 and has some quirks but he looks interesting dropped to 6f on handicap debut.
5
4th (5) De Bruyne (2.75/1 +8%)
De Bruyne

2.75
2.75/1(+8%)
(5) De Bruyne 2.75/1, Won 6f Newcastle novice last winter and good efforts in turf handicaps the last twice, not seen to best effect in messy Salisbury race latest. One to consider under Buick.
Has reached the frame in last two handicaps but he's now 1-7 and others look stronger.
8
5th (8) Dors Toyboy (50/1 -52%)
Dors Toyboy

50
50/1(-52%)
(8) Dors Toyboy 50/1, Did well on AW last year, winning three 7f handicaps. Might have needed the run behind Porfin back from 8 months off here a fortnight ago and probably best watched this time too.
Has had just two runs on turf including a seventh behind Porfin over C&D two weeks ago.
4
6th (4) Epic Express (20/1 -100%)
Epic Express

20
20/1(-100%)
(4) Epic Express 20/1, Won 6f handicap on the other course here in May and back to form when second to Porfin over C&D a fortnight ago, keeping on behind the all-the-way winner. Needs a bit more.
Finished well to go close behind Porfin over C&D last time; respected off 1lb higher.
1
7th (1) Cashew (9/1 +36%)
Cashew

9
9/1(+36%)
(1) Cashew 9/1, Attracted some support at long odds and wasted no time getting back to form on her second start after a slight break, splitting a pair of 3-y-os at Lingfield. Same mark and one to consider.
0-20 since her last win but she went close off this mark at Lingfield last time; respected.
3
8th (3) Boafo Boy (16/1 +20%)
Boafo Boy

16
16/1(+20%)
(3) Boafo Boy 16/1, Dual winner over 6f/7f, often slowly away. Sold from Jamie Osborne 8,000 gns in July and interesting off career-low mark for new yard.
Changed hands for 8,000gns and has something to prove back at 6f for new yard.
12
9th (12) Revolucion (33/1 -136%)
Revolucion

33
33/1(-136%)
(12) Revolucion 33/1, With cheekpieces reapplied, ran well back down in trip/on all-weather after 8 weeks off when third at Chelmsford (6f) 24 days ago. Has races in him, although they might be away from turf.
0-10 and his turf form lags behind his best AW efforts; down the list.
2
10th (2) Alcazan (9/1 +25%)
Alcazan

9
9/1(+25%)
(2) Alcazan 9/1, Scored at Goodwood (off 2 lb lower) in September and shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off at Windsor, taking a keen hold. Down in class now.
May have needed the run at Windsor last month and has claims if she can get back near best.
11
11th (11) Porfin (7/1 -17%)
Porfin

7
7/1(-17%)
(11) Porfin 7/1, In good form again under this rider, winning C&D handicap from Epic Express before finding only a progressive 3-y-o too strong under a penalty. 3 lb lower and another bold bid likely.
Good second under a penalty at Yarmouth (7f) and he's 3lb lower here; big player.
6
12th (6) Aira Force (8/1 +11%)
Aira Force

8
8/1(+11%)
(6) Aira Force 8/1, Steady improver as a 2-y-o, opening her account at Leicester (6f) in October. Fair run in 3-y-o C&D fillies' handicap 8 weeks ago that worked out nicely and she's a player now taking on the older horses in a first-time tongue tie.
Has solid record but she needs to find more to get back on scoresheet; tongue-tie added.
LTO Selection:

17:45 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Recent C&D winner PORFIN (nap) went close under a penalty at Yarmouth last week and is well treated on this return to sprinting.

1st (7) True Wisdom (33/1 +0%)
True Wisdom

33
33/1(+0%)
(7) True Wisdom 33/1, Looked badly in need of the experience when down the field on her recent introduction in a Class 2 Goodwood maiden (7f, soft). Will probably leave that form well behind in due course but she's hard to make a case for in this warm contest.
Didn't show a great deal at Goodwood two weeks ago and this is another tough assignment.
2
2nd (2) Bellum Justum (22/1 +12%)
Bellum Justum

22
22/1(+12%)
(2) Bellum Justum 22/1, Fetched 375,000 gns as a yearling and boasts a good pedigree. However, he was very green on recent debut at this course (7f, good) and is likely to need more time.
Ran green when a remote fifth here last month; needs a transformation upped in trip.
4
3rd (4) Oddyssey (1.2/1 -20%)
Oddyssey

1.2
1.2/1(-20%)
(4) Oddyssey 1.2/1, Left debut form well behind when a close third in the Chesham at Royal Ascot. Performed to a similar level when filling the same spot in the Superlative Stake (7f, good to soft) here last month and sets a good standard for the others to aim at.
Placed in Listed/Group 2 events last twice and sets a high standard back in calmer waters.
3
4th (3) Kingdom Of Time (3.5/1 -40%)
Kingdom Of Time

3.5
3.5/1(-40%)
(3) Kingdom Of Time 3.5/1, Foaled March 2. 800,000 gns yearling, Dubawi colt out of French 1¼m winner, herself a sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Highland Reel. Obvious appeal on paper for top connections that landed this race 12 months ago.
800,000gns yearling; has a striking pedigree and he's an interesting newcomer for top yard.
5
5th (5) Time To Hunt (14/1 +0%)
Time To Hunt

14
14/1(+0%)
(5) Time To Hunt 14/1, Foaled January 26. 80,000 gns foal, Night of Thunder colt. Dam, German maiden, half-sister to smart German 9f-1½m (Deutsches Derby) winner Waldpark out of smart German 10.5f-1¾m winner Wurftaube.
80,000gns foal; has a useful target to aim at on debut but he needs checking in market..
1
6th (1) Allegorical (2.5/1 +44%)
Allegorical

2.5
2.5/1(+44%)
(1) Allegorical 2.5/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 11f Aleas and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Alizarine. Shaped well when fourth of 10 in what looked a decent Newbury novice (7f, good) and improvement likely for in-form yard now upped to a mile.
Well-bred colt who made a promising start at Newbury and he's open to progress upped to 1m.
6
7th (6) Want Want (28/1 -56%)
Want Want

28
28/1(-56%)
(6) Want Want 28/1, Positives to take from his debut sixth in a 14-runner Doncaster novice (5f, good to firm) during the spring. This is a big step up in trip but he's bred to stay at least a mile and can be expected to do better in time.
Showed promise at Doncaster in May but this is much tougher on this big step up in trip.
LTO Selection:

18:20 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

It's hard to get away from ODDYSSEY, who has been placed in Listed/Group 2 events in his last two starts and sets a high standard.

(1) Southwold (2.5/1 +25%)
Southwold

2.5
2.5/1(+25%)
(1) Southwold 2.5/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who doubled his tally on AW at Southwell in February. Has acquitted himself well switched to turf the last twice, latterly finding just one too good in cheekpieces at Sandown (1m, good to soft), and leading claims if responding well to the change of headgear (blinkers added).
Two wins from his six starts and was good second off this mark (1m) last week; respected.
8
(8) Bird Of Play (4.5/1 +25%)
Bird Of Play

4.5
4.5/1(+25%)
(8) Bird Of Play 4.5/1, Left low-key reappearance behind when opening his account in a fast-ground 7f Haydock handicap in May. Has remained in good form since, including upped to this trip the last twice, and should be on the premises once more.
Has done well under Elle-May Croot in his last four runs and another bold bid is expected.
5
(5) Oh Herberts Reign (5.5/1 +50%)
Oh Herberts Reign

5.5
5.5/1(+50%)
(5) Oh Herberts Reign 5.5/1, Hasn't got his head in front for some time but he has fallen a long way in the weights and didn't do a great deal wrong when fourth over this C&D (good) last time. Down another 2 lb and shouldn't be far away.
On much-reduced mark and fair efforts the last twice but he's now 0-19 since his 2yo days.
4
(4) Lordsbridge Girl (6/1 +8%)
Lordsbridge Girl

6
6/1(+8%)
(4) Lordsbridge Girl 6/1, Won pair of 1m AW handicaps in January and has acquitted herself well on turf more recently, including when fourth of 8 off 1 lb higher here (7f, good) 3 weeks ago. Moving back up to this trip looks a good move and claims now reunited with Jamie Spencer, who is 2-3 when partnering this filly.
Dual AW winner who is still unexposed on turf and has possibilities back up in trip.
12
(12) Where's Freddy (8/1 -60%)
Where's Freddy

8
8/1(-60%)
(12) Where's Freddy 8/1, Took a sizeable step forward equipped with a first-time tongue strap when narrowly seeing off 7 rivals in a handicap here (7f, good) 3 weeks ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and big shout if able to build on that.
Off the mark in a 7f handicap here last month; up 3lb but he's open to more progress.
9
(9) Le Reveur (8/1 +11%)
Le Reveur

8
8/1(+11%)
(9) Le Reveur 8/1, His turn appeared to be near when twice making the frame in C&D handicaps in June but form dipped when down the field following a characteristic slow start at Doncaster last time. Losing run is likely to continue.
His last win was 14 months ago and he was tailed off at Doncaster last time.
13
(13) Coloane (11/1 -38%)
Coloane

11
11/1(-38%)
(13) Coloane 11/1, Yet to get her head in front but she has made the frame on each of her 9 starts in handicap company. Perhaps found 9f too much of a stretch at Lingfield (good to soft) last time and possibilities back down in trip here with cheekpieces refitted.
0-12 but she's a consistent type and has claims on this drop back in trip.
3
(3) Mr Cuddihy (14/1 +58%)
Mr Cuddihy

14
14/1(+58%)
(3) Mr Cuddihy 14/1, Signs of ability sole start at 2 yrs for David Simcock but, having missed the whole of last season, he hasn't shown a great deal in 2 starts for new connections. Still, better can be expected now sent handicapping and market check advised.
Unexposed handicap newcomer but he needs a transformation on this drop to 1m.
10
(10) Split Elevens (22/1 -10%)
Split Elevens

22
22/1(-10%)
(10) Split Elevens 22/1, Won a brace of AW contests earlier this year and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when third of 10 over C&D in June. Wasn't disgraced over 7f back here behind Where's Freddy next time but he's not the most reliable of types.
Fair efforts here in his last two runs and has possibilities back up in trip.
11
(11) Girl Inthe Picture (22/1 +21%)
Girl Inthe Picture

22
22/1(+21%)
(11) Girl Inthe Picture 22/1, Winner of a Brighton handicap off 1 lb lower last August and has twice found just one too good over a mile at Yarmouth this season. Failed to fire at Salisbury recently but she can usually be relied upon to run her race and is not without each-way hope.
Three runner-up efforts over 1m this season but her form nosedived at Salisbury last time.
6
(6) Mercurius Power (25/1 -14%)
Mercurius Power

25
25/1(-14%)
(6) Mercurius Power 25/1, Best effort a while when third in a 14-runner Newcastle handicap (7f) 15 days ago but others make more appeal all the same.
Didn't get the breaks at Newcastle last time and he looks interesting back up in trip.
14
(14) Fully Deployed (28/1 -155%)
Fully Deployed

28
28/1(-155%)
(14) Fully Deployed 28/1, Has failed to make a meaningful impact in half-a-dozen starts so far and this demands a jolt of improvement.
0-6 and he's not finished closer than fifth; needs to raise his game back on turf.
7
(7) Aeroplane Mode (28/1 +15%)
Aeroplane Mode

28
28/1(+15%)
(7) Aeroplane Mode 28/1, Has failed to trouble the judge in a bumper and 3 starts in this sphere to date. Likely he'll be seen in a better light now venturing down the handicap route, albeit a stiffer test is probably needed.
Handicap debutant but he's struggled in the last two of his three Flat runs.

Squeezebox

3
3/1(+0%)
(2) Squeezebox 3/1, 9/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 21 days ago, bit in hand. Still looks pretty raw but he's generally been going the right way for this yard and he's worth a chance to follow up.
Improver who has won two of his last three starts including over C&D last time; big player.

I Still Have Faith

4/1(-14%)
(8) I Still Have Faith 4/1, Off the mark at Nottingham last month and barely needed to improve to follow up over C&D in July. Unable to complete the hat-trick at Chepstow (third) 8 days ago but should be on the premises again.
Two 1m2f wins last month and was fair third in his hat-trick bid at Chepstow; in the mix.

Jack Sparowe

(3) Jack Sparowe 4.5/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (5/2) at Bath (8f, good) 9 days ago. Has few miles on the clock and longer trip should pose no issue, so looks a serious player.
Last-gasp winner at Bath last week and he's respected on this step up to 1m2f.
5
(5) Forest Demon (6/1 +0%)
Forest Demon

6
6/1(+0%)
(5) Forest Demon 6/1, 11/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 10 days ago. Holding form well without indicating that he's ahead of his mark, although tongue tied for the first time now.
0-6 this season but he's had some close calls on turf and is not ruled out.
4
(4) Emma Emilleen (6/1 +33%)
Emma Emilleen

6
6/1(+33%)
(4) Emma Emilleen 6/1, Lope De Vega filly who looked progressive prior to a sub-par fourth at Wolverhampton last time. Remains with potential switched to handicaps.
Unexposed handicap newcomer but she needs to step up again after her last run.
7
(7) Wintercrack (8/1 +0%)
Wintercrack

8
8/1(+0%)
(7) Wintercrack 8/1, Made it third time lucky when landing a Leicester maiden over this trip in April. Back to form in first-time hood when third over C&D last time and can't be ruled out.
Tailed off in four of her six runs but was a good third over C&D last time; dangerous.
6

Total Lockdown

9
9/1(+18%)
(6) Total Lockdown 9/1, C&D winner last August but not at best this season, leaving John Butler prior to latest sixth (behind Squeezebox) here 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces are back on.
C&D win last August but he's been generally disappointing since; first-time cheekpieces.

(2) Bopedro 3/1, Irish Cambridgeshire winner in 2021 who struck for this yardon Rowley course (1m) in April. Placed twice since and has shaped as if still in top form in competitive events recently. Can take a hand if they go quick.
Has mixed record since last win in April and he needs to get back near best.

(8) Lose Your Wad 5/1, Muhaarar colt who was off the mark at the second attempt in 1m Kempton maiden on reappearance in April. Has held his form since but isn't progressing and looked a tricky ride when sixth over C&D last time.
Lightly raced 3yo but he's been well held in his three handicaps; others preferred.

(9) Sudden Ambush 7/1, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 3/1) 48 days ago, all out. Tongue strap on 1st time. Enjoying a productive campaign and there's probably more to come, so boasts leading claims.
3yo who has won two of his last three starts and is open to more progress; key player.

(7) Repertoire 7.5/1, Latest win at Rowley course in May and has held form well since. Likely to be on the premises, although strong pace is important to him.
Reliable type but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet.

8.5/1(+23%)
(1) Intellogent 8.5/1, Failed to build on previous promise when twenty fifth of 30 in Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) and refused to race at Sandown since, so plenty to prove temperament wise.
On dangerous mark but he's 0-11 for current yard and refused to race at Sandown last time.

(5) Finn's Charm 10/1, Resumed with 1m win in Musselburgh handicap and also posted a good second in the German 2000 Guineas in May. Disappointing in competitive handicaps since but this looks a bit easier.
Has struggled at Ascot and Goodwood in his last two runs and has plenty to prove.

(6) Arqoob 10/1, Useful operator on the Flat and has won over hurdles since last seen in this sphere. On a handy mark if he's tuned up for his first run in 111 days (has left Lucy Wadham).
Did well over hurdles earlier this year and needs watching in market back on the Flat.

(4) Azano 12/1, Useful front-runner who hasn't really been firing lately, failing to beat a rival at Redcar 55 days ago. Might bounce back after a break.
His last win was 13 months ago and he's faded in last three starts; down the list.

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.
