Magical Trail

5
5/1(-25%)
(8) Magical Trail 5/1, Foaled April 23. Blue Point filly. Closely related to useful 1m/9f winner Romantic Rival. Should be tuned up for this and is worth a chance to make a winning start.

Jowddah

9
9/1(-125%)
(6) Jowddah 9/1, Foaled March 19. 210,000 gns yearling, New Bay filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1m-1¼m winner Royal Mews and 8.3f-1¼m winner King of Clubs, both useful. Worthy of interest.

Pink Diesel

100
100/1(-525%)
(10) Pink Diesel 100/1, Foaled April 9. €22,000 foal, €31,000 yearling, Showcasing filly. Half-sister to 2 winners, including 17f winner Spiced Rum. Dam, French 2-y-o 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 9f Musetta. Worth a market check.
Apprentice-ridden on debut which suggests yard may have stronger candidates elsewhere.

Chiringita

25
25/1(-213%)
(4) Chiringita 25/1, Foaled February 21. American Pharoah filly. Dam, smart winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to smart 1m-10.2f winner Phantom Flight. Interesting pedigree, albeit she'll probably want further.
Appealing pedigree and stable does have winning 2yo newcomers; watch market.

1
6th (1) Beronia (80/1 -2186%)
Beronia

80
80/1(-2186%)
(1) Beronia 80/1, Fair form on each of her three runs to date, again shaping like a step up to this trip would suit when third in a novice here 56 days ago. Has the experience edge and should be involved in the finish.
Placed in all three starts over 6f; should appreciate 7f; sets a fair standard.

7th (2) Bintjeddah (80/1 -1678%)
Bintjeddah

80
80/1(-1678%)
(2) Bintjeddah 80/1, Foaled March 14. 220,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot filly. Half-sister to useful French 2-y-o 7f/7.5f winner Paz. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 9f-1¾m winner Lion Sands and Lancashire Oaks winner Pongee. One to consider.
Stable has had three winning 2yo newcomers this month; market confidence significant.

Borderline Madness

80
80/1(-21%)
(3) Borderline Madness 80/1, Foaled May 8. Territories filly. Dam twice-raced half-sister to useful multiple 5f winner Spoof. Not an obvious sort on paper.
Bred more for speed and stable wouldn't be a noted source of winning 2yo newcomers.

13:35 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Beronia has placed on all three appearances over 6f to date and this 7f trip looks likely to suit. George Boughey's filly is a big player, but there are some intriguing newcomers on show, with the well-bred MAGICAL TRAIL making most appeal. The daughter of Blue Point is a half-sister to the Group 3-placed Romantic Rival and she's likely to know her job. Fellow debutants Bintjeddah and Jowddah must also be watched in the market.

MAGICAL TRAIL should be sufficiently well forward to do herself justice first time out and, without the benefit of market clues, she's fancied to make a winning debut. Beronia is a clear player having put up three solid showings to date and Jowddah is another notable newcomer.

Beronia sets the standard, but there are some interesting newcomers up against her such as MAGICAL TRAIL who gets the vote.

The Lost King

8.5
17/2(+39%)
(6) The Lost King 17/2, Down the field at Kempton on debut but is bred to do better and should have learned from that, so better is expected.
Only ninth of 13 at Kempton but this Kingman colt should be all the wiser this time.

2nd (1) Al Misbar (6/4 +8%)
Al Misbar

1.5
6/4(+8%)
(1) Al Misbar 6/4, Half-brother to outstanding 5f performer Battaash and was a warm order for his debut at Ascot. Didn't quite come up to expectations there but could improve markedly to open his account at the second attempt.
Only 4th at Ascot but he was a warm favourite and he's in the Dewhurst.

Law Of Design

20
20/1(-43%)
(3) Law Of Design 20/1, Foaled February 11. 25,000 gns yearling, Sottsass gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f-7f winner Great Page and 6f winner Kidwah. Dam 7f winner. Makes appeal on paper.
Gelded ahead of debut and stable's newcomers usually improve on their debut efforts.
7

Valiant Knight

2.5
5/2(+38%)
(7) Valiant Knight 5/2, Ghaiyyath colt. Closely related to useful 5f winner Queen of Desire. Something to work on when fifth at Sandown first time out and should improve for the experience, so definite claims.
Raced prominently but dropped away to be beaten 5l at Sandown (7f, good to firm; 20-1).
2
5th (2) Half Moon Bay (80/1 -1678%)
Half Moon Bay

80
80/1(-1678%)
(2) Half Moon Bay 80/1, Foaled April 11. 70,000 gns yearling, New Bay gelding. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 1¼m, sister to smart winner up to 1m Akua'da. Looks the pick of the newcomers on paper.
Cost 70,000gns as a yearling and is the first foal of a German Listed-placed 1m winner.
5
6th (5) Stenmark (80/1 -2186%)
Stenmark

80
80/1(-2186%)
(5) Stenmark 80/1, 200,000 gns Kingman colt from good family and has made an encouraging start to his career, third in a novice at Doncaster a month ago. That's the best form on offer but others may have more potential.
Strong form claims on his latest close third over this far at Doncaster.

85,000gns yearling and related to winners from 5f to 1m; likely best watched.

14:10 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The market should prove informative for Half Moon Bay on debut and the son of New Bay certainly won't be found lacking for stamina over 7f judged on his pedigree. However, AL MISBAR should have learned plenty from his fourth-placed debut in a class 2 event at Ascot last month and he may find enough improvement to open his account. Valiant Knight and Stenmark are also noted.

AL MISBAR was a very expensive yearling with good reason, a relation to the outstanding Battaash, so he's worth a chance to build on an underwhelming debut by getting off the mark here. Valiant Knight is also open to improvement and Half Moon Bay is an interesting newcomer.

Expensive yearling STENMARK gets the nod on the strength of his form on a second visit to Doncaster. Al Misbar is next best.

Sayifyouwill

8
8/1(+50%)
(4) Sayifyouwill 8/1, Good effort at Salisbury in June and, while below form on both subsequent outings, she wasn't seen to best effect at Lingfield last time. Not a forlorn hope.
Losing run up to 12 and she finished over 5l behind All Agleam at Lingfield last time.

(6) Star Mind 14/1, Blinkered for 1st time, very good second of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm, 28/1) 13 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.
Dual Tapeta winner during the winter and just beaten at Haydock last time; shortlisted.

Bernalda

4
4/1(+0%)
(5) Bernalda 4/1, LIghtly raced filly who took a step forward when a clear second in a Redcar novice last time. Can do better still and can make her presence felt on handicap debut.
Nicely bred filly who has shown ability in all three starts; may be more to come.
2
4th (2) All Agleam (16/1 -482%)
All Agleam

16
16/1(-482%)
(2) All Agleam 16/1, 7/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Had something in hand and is fancied to go in again despite the 6-lb rise.
Made all at Lingfield last time; 6lb higher but dangerous if again allowed her own way.

(9) Twilight Jazz 22/1, Latest win at Beverley in July. Good second of 8 in handicap there (7.4f, good to firm, 5/2) 9 days ago. This is tougher away from that track and out of the weights.
Handy sort who has proved consistent since winning at Beverley last month; frame material.

Born A Rebel

14
14/1(-40%)
(7) Born A Rebel 14/1, Improved to make a winning return/handicap bow at Yarmouth in April and mostly at least respectable efforts since, fifth despite a slow start at this course three weeks ago. First-time visor could bring a bit more out of her.
Hasn't built on her Yarmouth win, but had possible excuses recently; visor on.

Red Maids

100

(1) Red Maids 100/1, Back-to-back winner in 2023 and has generally been in good order this year, running respectably at Newbury last time. Can't be ruled out.
Won twice this time last year and has run well this summer,; vulnerable to an improver.
3
9th (3) Dianara (66/1 -1100%)
Dianara

66
66/1(-1100%)
(3) Dianara 66/1, Fair form as a juvenile, opening her account at Yarmouth 10 months ago. Not seen since, however, and handicapper doesn't appear to have been all that lenient with her opening mark.
Makes her handicap debut after 318 days off and the market should be revealing.

14:45 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A switch to turf proved just the tonic for ALL AGLEAM when making all at Lingfield last time out. The Andrew Balding-trained filly scored with something in hand that day and she looks more than capable of following up off a 6lb higher rating. Handicap debutant Dianara is interesting on her seasonal bow and the three-year-old isn't taken lightly racing off what appears a workable mark. Having returned to form in first-time blinkers when runner-up at Haydock recently, Star Mind is also worth a second look.

ALL AGLEAM got back on the up when scoring at Lingfield last time and she's fancied to improve further to defy her reassessed mark. Star Mind is an obvious danger if the blinkers work again, while Bernalda is another one with the potential for better.

This can go to BERNALDA who makes her handicap debut after having probably run into a nice newcomer at Redcar last time.

11/2(-120%)
(6) Great Chieftain 11/2, Made it two wins in his last three runs in 14-runner handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Up 6 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.
Won in good style at Glorious Goodwood and a 6lb rise looks fair enough; key player.

Promethean

8
8/1(-33%)
(4) Promethean 8/1, Lightly-raced sort who posted a very good fourth of 11 in maiden at Newbury (10f, good) 98 days ago. Much respected now going into handicaps after a break.
Unexposed handicap newcomer but he needs improvement back in trip after another break.
1
3rd (1) Monkey Island (4/1 +50%)
Monkey Island

4
4/1(+50%)
(1) Monkey Island 4/1, Got off the mark at Newbury (7f) in May and back to that sort of form of late, third of 6 in handicap here (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. One to consider.
Fair efforts at 7f last twice but he has a bit to prove on this step back up in trip.
7
4th (7) Charming Whisper (9/1 -100%)
Charming Whisper

9
9/1(-100%)
(7) Charming Whisper 9/1, A dual 1m scorer in June and he comes here on the back of an unlucky fourth of 9 at Brighton (8f, good) 16 days ago, suffering a poor run in the last 2f. Expected to be bang there off an unchanged mark.
Two wins in June and he hasn't had much luck in last two runs; dangerous.
5

Gressington

6.5
13/2(-86%)
(5) Gressington 13/2, Resumed winning ways at Beverley in July and he backed it up with a solid second of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.
Won at Beverley before clear second at Musselburgh last time; respected back up in trip.
8

Held in hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton last time and she looks on a tough enough mark now.

Has mixed record in handicaps and was last of six at Sandown latest; now drops back to 1m.

15:20 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

GREAT CHIEFTAIN produced a bit of shock to score by just under a length in a warm handicap at Goodwood earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 6lb. The son of Gleneagles looks to have been found a golden opportunity to make it three wins from his last four starts. Gressington has filled the top two places the last twice, including a win at Beverley, and could land a blow, while Charming Whisper is the pick of the remainder.

None of these can be ruled out but CHARMING WHISPER is fancied to gain compensation for his unlucky Brighton fourth last time out and bag a third victory of 2024. Great Chieftain arrives at the top of his game though and seems sure to pose a big threat, while in-form trio Gressington, Al Mootamarid and Royal Velvet all command plenty of respect too.

Top of the list is GREAT CHIEFTAIN (nap), who found more progress with his stylish win at Goodwood. Gressington is feared most.

15:55 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

TYPICAL WOMAN won by no less than 17 lengths in an apprentice handicap at Newbury last week and she gets to compete off the same rating. Considering the manner of that victory, she is very difficult to oppose. Bruno's Gold made a perfect start for the Peter Niven stable when scoring at Pontefract last time and is noted, while Sunset In Paris rates best of the rest.

TYPICAL WOMAN spreadeagled her field at Newbury last time and is hard to oppose having escaped a penalty for that apprentice handicap success here. Pontefract winner Bruno's Gold can chase home Ian Williams' improver ahead of Eljaytee.

This should go to TYPICAL WOMAN who avoids a penalty for her 17l romp in a Newbury apprentice event a week ago.

16:30 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Aulis has filled the runner-up spot on each of his last three outings and has proven to be expensive to follow, but it would be foolish to dismiss him completely. However, REGAL CONNECTION looks the way to go. Charlie Appleby's three-year-old has shown a fair amount of ability in his three starts in maiden/novice company and is bred to be a lot better than a mark of 80. The Thunderer completes the shortlist.

THE THUNDERER signalled he's ready to end a losing sequence when runner-up here a week ago and can take full advantage of a 2 lb lower mark. Aulis might have to settle for runner-up spot once more with the much less exposed Old Saxony also in the mix along with Golden Phase and Regal Connection.

Preference is for the unexposed REGAL CONNECTION who has shown plenty of promise in his last two runs and looks on a fair opening mark.

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.
