(12) Tennessee Gold (12/1 +70%)
Tennessee Gold

12
12/1(+70%)
(12) Tennessee Gold 12/1, Made little impression when sixth of 7 in minor event over C&D (good to firm) on debut 22 days ago. Should have learnt from that experience but outside claims of place at best.
Down the field when 50-1 on debut over C&D three weeks ago and is probably best watched.

1st (3) Eben Shaddad (4/1 +0%)
Eben Shaddad

4
4/1(+0%)
(3) Eben Shaddad 4/1, Foaled February 24. $100,000 yearling, €190,000 2-y-o, Calyx colt. Dam unraced, half-sister to smart winner up to 9f Lady Speightspeare out of smart 1¼m winner Lady Shakespeare. Interesting newcomer.
Cost 190,000euros at the breeze-ups; in top hands and could play a leading role on debut.

2nd (5) Give It Up (40/1 +0%)
Give It Up

40
40/1(+0%)
(5) Give It Up 40/1, Showed ability but was too keen when sixth of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW) on debut 81 days ago. Will be seen in better light when sent handicapping.
6th of ten on debut at Lingfield; can improve when settling better but others appeal more.
13
3rd (13) Imperial Express (3.5/1 +53%)
Imperial Express

3.5
3.5/1(+53%)
(13) Imperial Express 3.5/1, Ran to just a modest level when sixth of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, soft) on debut 23 days ago. From an excellent family, though, and could be in the mix if learning from that experience.
Didn't fail for stamina over 7f at Goodwood but half-sister to two talented sprinters.

4th (9) Piloto Pardo (16/1 -78%)
Piloto Pardo

16
16/1(-78%)
(9) Piloto Pardo 16/1, Foaled February 11. £58,000 yearling, Bated Breath colt. Dam, 8.3f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¾m (stayed 2m) Red Galileo out of useful 1½m winner Ivory Gala. Yard's juvenile debutants always warrant respect.
First foal; dam 8.3f winner (RPR 69) from useful family; this newcomer is from a good yard.
1
5th (1) Piz Nair (2.75/1 -10%)
Piz Nair

2.75
2.75/1(-10%)
(1) Piz Nair 2.75/1, Built on promise of debut when winning 13-runner minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Has to concede weight all round but may be capable of better yet.
Windsor win on second run; needs something extra under penalty but respected nevertheless.
8
6th (8) Neapolitan (10/1 -150%)
Neapolitan

10
10/1(-150%)
(8) Neapolitan 10/1, Foaled March 15. Magna Grecia colt. Half-brother to French 2-y-o 8.5f winner Henry The Lion. Dam, French 7f winner, half-sister to smart/temperamental winner up to 1¼m Toofi. Wears tongue strap. Market check advised on debut.
Stable has won two of the last five runnings and he's one to be interested in on debut.
2
7th (2) Briery Boy (16/1 +36%)
Briery Boy

16
16/1(+36%)
(2) Briery Boy 16/1, Shaped with little promise in maiden over C&D on debut 15 days ago and is likely a longer-term prospect.
Soundly beaten at 22-1 on recent debut over C&D (good) and needs a big step forward.
6
8th (6) Jonny Concrete (3.5/1 -27%)
Jonny Concrete

3.5
3.5/1(-27%)
(6) Jonny Concrete 3.5/1, Promising sort who only narrowly failed to score at first time of asking in Hamilton maiden (6f, good to firm, 16/1) in June. Should be more to come.
Went very close on debut at Hamilton in a race that is working out well; leading claims.
10
9th (10) Prince Eric (100/1 -52%)
Prince Eric

100
100/1(-52%)
(10) Prince Eric 100/1, Made some appeal on pedigree but offered little on racecourse bow in minor event at Salisbury 16 days ago.
Market check advised on second start but he was always in rear at 28-1 at Salisbury.
11
10th (11) Rockytherockstar (40/1 +0%)
Rockytherockstar

40
40/1(+0%)
(11) Rockytherockstar 40/1, Once-raced maiden. Beaten a long way at Goodwood (6f, good to soft, 33/1) on debut 25 days ago. May do better granted quicker conditions here but big jolt of improvement required.
Bred to win races but tailed off at 33-1 on last month's debut at Goodwood.
4
11th (4) Elysian Wolf (100/1 -52%)
Elysian Wolf

100
100/1(-52%)
(4) Elysian Wolf 100/1, Failed to beat a rival home on Nottingham racecourse bow in April and can only be watched here. Gelded since debut.
Well-beaten last of five when 14-1 on debut at Nottingham in April; gelded since.
7
12th (7) Montecristo Gold (66/1 -65%)
Montecristo Gold

66
66/1(-65%)
(7) Montecristo Gold 66/1, Held back by inexperience when seventh of 11 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good) on debut 12 days ago. Likely to need more time.
Debut run wasn't without promise and there's potential in his pedigree; each-way possible.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JONNY CONCRETE could not have gone any closer on his debut at Hamilton in June and the form of that race has worked in the interim. With improvement expected, Iain Jardine's charge can get off the mark. The well-bred newcomer Eben Shaddad and Piz Nair, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome for scoring at Windsor, look best placed to chase him home.

This can go to JONNY CONCRETE, who made an encouraging start to his career at Hamilton in June and looks sure to improve from that. Windsor-scorer Piz Nair is the clear danger on form, whilst Eben Shaddad looks the pick of the newcomers.

The standard set by those who have raced isn't overly strong and this could go to the Gosden-trained newcomer EBEN SHADDAD.

3
1st (3) Olympicus (9/1 +0%)
Olympicus

9
9/1(+0%)
(3) Olympicus 9/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden and has performed with credit in handicaps with a hood enlisted at Doncaster and Sandown the last twice, latterly finishing well back up to this trip. Each-way chance.
0-6 but he did well to finish a close fourth over 1m2f at Sandown last time; interesting.
7
2nd (7) Hakuna Babe (4/1 -33%)
Hakuna Babe

4
4/1(-33%)
(7) Hakuna Babe 4/1, Remains a maiden following 6 attempts but she's caught the eye on more than one occasion, not least when third at Sandown (9f, heavy) last time. Now 1 lb lower and back on better ground, she's one to be interested in.
Has reached the frame in five of her six starts and she still has potential; shortlisted.
10
3rd (10) Kamanika (3.5/1 +13%)
Kamanika

3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(10) Kamanika 3.5/1, Has held her form well so far this term, scoring at Nottingham and Leicester over this trip. Though a winner on soft, she didn't look entirely at home under such conditions when fourth at Sandown last time and she's not discounted with better ground forecast.
Won at Leicester on penultimate run and she still looks feasibly treated; not ruled out.
4
4th (4) Blue Universe (4.5/1 +10%)
Blue Universe

4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(4) Blue Universe 4.5/1, Much improved on return from wind surgery when shading a tight finish at Wolverhampton in April. Yet to get his head in front on turf but there wasn't much wrong with his C&D third last weekend and likely to be in the mix.
Only 1lb higher than for his win and he ran well over C&D last Saturday; respected.
5
5th (5) Total Lockdown (40/1 -100%)
Total Lockdown

40
40/1(-100%)
(5) Total Lockdown 40/1, Shared the spoils in a C&D handicap off a 3 lb higher mark last summer but he's hard to warm to judged on what he's shown in 4 appearances this year.
Won over C&D last August but has been generally disappointing since; others preferred.
6
6th (6) Kristal Klear (7.5/1 +17%)
Kristal Klear

7.5
7.5/1(+17%)
(6) Kristal Klear 7.5/1, Showed ability at 2 yrs and creditable efforts in 1m handicaps at Haydock and Carlisle earlier this season. However, she didn't appear to get home upped to this trip at Haydock last time (since undergone a wind op), so it's easy to have reservations.
Still lightly raced and has possibilities if she can get back near best after wind surgery.
9
7th (9) Ashmore (16/1 -100%)
Ashmore

16
16/1(-100%)
(9) Ashmore 16/1, Still seeking his first taste of success and he has failed to make much of an impact on his last 2 starts. Still, he has twice performed with credit in 1m handicaps off higher marks this season amd could have a part to play if coping with this step up in trip.
Has lost his way in last two starts and needs to get back on track with cheekpieces added.
8
8th (8) Expert Witness (12/1 -100%)
Expert Witness

12
12/1(-100%)
(8) Expert Witness 12/1, Found some improvement for the step up to this trip when a close third of 13 to the re-opposing Kamanika at Leicester (good) in June. That represents decent form and he's one to consider with Harry Davies in the hot-seat.
Close third at Leicester last time and she should have more to offer at this trip.
2
9th (2) Snapcracklepop (12/1 +14%)
Snapcracklepop

12
12/1(+14%)
(2) Snapcracklepop 12/1, Now 2 lb lower than when last getting his head in front at Windsor 12 months ago and couple of decent efforts to his name this season. However, he failed to get competitive at Chepstow last time and may again find a few too good.
0-11 since his last win 12 months ago and was well below form last time.
1
10th (1) Outsmart (9/1 +25%)
Outsmart

9
9/1(+25%)
(1) Outsmart 9/1, Produced his best effort of the season so far when fourth in a 10-runner Beverley handicap (1¼m, good to firm) recently. Down another 1 lb and now tried in blinkers but looks vulnerable for win purposes all the same.
On dangerous mark and wasn't beaten far at Beverley last time; in the mix in new headgear.
LTO Selection:

14:10 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

KAMANIKA didn't seem to be in love with the soft ground at Sandown last time out and she is much better judged on her penultimate success at Leicester, where she had the reopposing Expert Witness (third) behind. She can uphold that form, while seeing off the likes of Kristal Klear and Hakuna Babe, who seems to be gradually improving with each start. Blue Universe and Olympicus can also have a say in proceedings.

HAKUNA BABE almost certainly has races in her off this sort of mark and is taken to back up that theory by opening her account at the seventh attempt. Next on the list is Blue Universe, who put in a good shift over C&D off this mark last weekend. Expert Witness raised her game when third to Kamanika at Leicester and she also enters calculations, along with Ashmore.

An open race in which Mick Appleby's OLYMPICUS gets the vote ahead of Blue Universe and Expert Witness.

Sea Stone

6
6/1(-80%)
(5) Sea Stone 6/1, Made it 2-2 on AW when seeing off 6 rivals over 2m at Kempton 17 days but he's 0-8 on turf and has a career-high mark to overcome after a 4 lb rise.
Won at Kempton recently; 2-2 on AW as opposed to 0-8 on turf, but has run well on grass.
4
2nd (4) King Eagle (2/1 +33%)
King Eagle

2
2/1(+33%)
(4) King Eagle 2/1, Looked firmly on the up when winning first 2 outings (C&D latterly) for Nicky Henderson but his run of progressive form came to abrupt halt when a well-held fifth at Ascot last time. Wears a first-time tongue strap now.
Disappointing at Ascot but went there on a hat-trick and perhaps the tongue-tie will help.
1
3rd (1) Alright Sunshine (10/1 +29%)
Alright Sunshine

10
10/1(+29%)
(1) Alright Sunshine 10/1, Useful handicapper but operating below his best this year, including in 2 outings for current yard. Mark is coming down but need to see more.
His mark continues to fall but he's struggled to get competitive this year.
2
4th (2) Apparate (5/1 +0%)
Apparate

5
5/1(+0%)
(2) Apparate 5/1, Very low-mileage 7-y-o who ran a cracker on first outing since leaving Roger Varian after 20 months off (sold for 55,000 gns) when close second at Doncaster in June. Extended 2m probably too much of a test at Newbury and this could be his optimum distance.
Down the field last month but went very close two starts ago, following long absence.
7
5th (7) Dasho Lennie (2.5/1 -25%)
Dasho Lennie

2.5
2.5/1(-25%)
(7) Dasho Lennie 2.5/1, Won a novice at Lingfield in March and has gone the right way since, getting back on the scoreboard when leading in the dying strides in a 1½m Ripon handicap 18 days ago. 4 lb rise may not stop him against older opposition.
Won over 1m4f at Ripon latest and this 3yo is open to further improvement now up in trip.
6
6th (6) Red Flyer (11/1 +8%)
Red Flyer

11
11/1(+8%)
(6) Red Flyer 11/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign but the handicapper has looked in charge this time round.
Below par last time but fair run over this C&D previously and might not be far away.
3
7th (3) East Asia (33/1 -65%)
East Asia

33
33/1(-65%)
(3) East Asia 33/1, Useful stayer but lightly raced and below par since finishing second in a Meydan Group 3 in January 2022, including well held back from a break at Ascot a fortnight ago. Can only watch.
On a reduced mark but he returned from an absence in March and has failed to shine since.
LTO Selection:

14:45 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 14f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of KING EAGLE, who may have disappointed at Ascot on his latest start but was a determined winner over C&D on his penultimate outing. The four-year-old still has plenty of upside as a four-year-old and he is narrowly preferred to Dasho Lennie, who scored at Ripon earlier in the month. A winner over further at Kempton recently, Sea Stone is also entitled to be thereabouts.

Sole 3-y-o DASHO LENNIE has the scope for further progress now stepping up to 1¾m and is selected to make light of a 4 lb rise for Ripon. Apparate is second choice ahead of King Eagle.

The 3yo DASHO LENNIE (nap) has kept on well over 1m4f the last twice and can beat his older rivals on this first attempt at 1m6f.

Woodhay Wonder

14
14/1(-27%)
(11) Woodhay Wonder 14/1, Having played up beforehand, proved a different proposition to on debut when winning 6f novice at Newbury in June, displaying a fine turn of foot. Ran about as well as could be expected in Group 2 over C&D subsequently, so not taken lightly back down in class.
Not disgraced in C&D Group 2 last month; may do better still; not ruled out.
10
2nd (10) Geologist (3/1 +14%)
Geologist

3
3/1(+14%)
(10) Geologist 3/1, Went close at Redcar on debut in May before faring as well as could have been expected when 8¼ lengths twelfth of 26 in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Easily landed the odds at Ripon after and improved again when third in Group 3 at Deauville. Big shout on these terms.
Ran well in Deauville Group 3 last time; leading chance at the weights.
14
3rd (14) Consoling (28/1 -40%)
Consoling

28
28/1(-40%)
(14) Consoling 28/1, Had more in hand than the margin suggests when off the mark at the third attempt in 7f maiden at Musselburgh but likely to find a few too strong.
Overcame traffic issues to win at Musselburgh but this is a stiffer task.
8
4th (8) Dubai Hills (22/1 +0%)
Dubai Hills

Commander Crouch

100

Remains a maiden and he's well down this pack on ratings.

Towards the bottom of this pack on bare form.
3

33

Progressive; beat Dubai Hills at Windsor, taking record to 3-5; one to consider.
2
9th (2) Watch My Tracer (3/1 +25%)
Watch My Tracer

3

(2) Watch My Tracer 3/1, Has won 6f novices on fast ground at Windsor and Yarmouth and showed he can be competitive at pattern level when seventh of 20 in the Coventry at Royal Ascot in between. Open to further progress so needs considering.
Good effort in the Coventry is flanked by novice wins; major player on ratings.

Clear promise in two attempts over 6f, including clearcut win at Doncaster.

10

7.5/1(+6%)
(1) Golden Trick 7.5/1, Progressing well, following up her Chester win when beating 19 rivals in a valuable auction event at Naas. Will find this tougher under top weight but he's open to further improvement.
Bagged similar event at Naas most recently; both wins on soft; improving colt.
12

(12) Bigger Than Giga 22/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 10-runner maiden at Kempton (7f) and took another step forward when defying a penalty at Wolverhampton. More needed again now switched to turf.
Both wins over 7f on AW but brings a progressive profile to turf debut.
4
14th (4) Chief Mankato (12/1 -60%)
Chief Mankato

12
12/1(-60%)
(4) Chief Mankato 12/1, Sioux Nation colt who came from off the pace to make a winning debut in Windsor novice (6f) in May. Withdrawn at the start after getting upset in the stall in the Coventry at Royal Ascot and ran no sort of race in July Stakes here since, but he's evidently held in high regard.
Disappointing in July Stakes but may yet confirm the promise of his Windsor win.

Dam French 1½m winner out of very smart winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner) Winona. 11/1, narrow winner of 10-runner novice event at Salisbury (6f, good) on debut 16 days ago. That form is ordinary. Difficult ask.
Showed a willing attitude at Salisbury on debut and looks open to progress.
LTO Selection:

15:20 Newmarket Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

GEOLOGIST ran well last time out with a respectable third-placed finish in a Group 3 in France and a similar level of performance on this ease in class may suffice. Watch My Tracer posted an authoritative display at Windsor last month and may give the selection most to think about. Golden Trick completed a double in a valuable event at Naas earlier in August and likely has more to offer.

GEOLOGIST looks the pick on these terms after her excellent third in a Group 3 at Deauville. Watch My Tracer is a solid alternative, while Mapmaker is favoured more than most at the weights.

Preference is for WATCH MY TRACER, who has particularly good claims on his Coventry form. Mapmaker is second choice.

(10) Lezoo 1.75/1, Won 4 of her 5 starts at 2 yrs, signing off with victory in the Cheveley Park here. Yet to fire in a couple of Group 1s this term, although poorly drawn in the Commonwealth Cup latest and takes a marked drop back in grade now. A return to form could be imminent.

Hasn't seen his 2 races out this term but was slow to come to hand last year and is the class act in the field. Good chance on these terms back from 9 weeks off.

(5) Gorak 28/1, Twice a winner in 7f handicaps during what has been a busy 2023. Not so good in the mud in the Stewards' Cup last time though and suspect he may find things happening a bit too quickly for him here.
LTO Selection:

15:55 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Lezoo would be an obvious threat if recapturing her juvenile form, but the jury is still out on Ralph Beckett's charge after struggling in two appearances this season. With that in mind, it may pay to go with a more solid proposition in DILIGENT HARRY, who returned to form with a fine runner-up effort in the Hackwood Stakes at Newbury last month. Emaraaty Ana could also have a say in these calmer waters.

EMARAATY ANA could be set to peak in the final third of the year once again and has a great chance on these terms if anywhere near his best (placed in Group 1s last 3 starts in 2022). He looks the way to go although a solid case can be made for 3-y-o Lezoo, who also drops markedly in class after contesting the 1000 Guineas and Commonwealth Cup. Sprinting is her game and she could revive. Last year's winner Sam Maximus and Streets of Gold are also respected.

Both the standard setters Lezoo and Ana Emaraaty carry risk. FLAMING RIB has a more realistic opportunity this afternoon.

Dark Thirty

4/1(+20%)
(1) Dark Thirty 4/1, Likeable sort who resumed winning ways at York (7f) in May and plenty of solid efforts in defeat since, probably find testing conditions too much when fourth at Goodwood (7f) 24 days ago. No surprise to see a better showing.
Fine third here two starts ago and heavy ground probably didn't suit at Goodwood last time.

Kimnkate

8/1(-167%)
(5) Kimnkate 8/1, Hasn't looked back since blinkered, posting a career-best effort when gaining fourth career success over C&D 15 days ago. Steps up in class now but she did that readily.
Made it four wins for the summer with recent C&D victory; 6lb rise may not stop her.

3rd (7) Ararat (3/1 +14%)
Ararat

3/1(+14%)
(7) Ararat 3/1, Showed improved form when shedding maiden tag in a C&D handicap in June. Not in quite the same form when fourth at Chester (7f) 7 days later but given more of a break ahead of this and he may yet have more to offer.
Won over C&D in June then failed to settle at Chester; no surprise to see a bold bid.

Waiting All Night

3.5
3.5/1(+50%)
(6) Waiting All Night 3.5/1, Has drawn a blank since his debut win last May but went close to adding to his tally when runner-up over C&D 2 starts back. Shade disappointing when seventh of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f) since but likely type to bounce back.
Below par at Yarmouth but twice went close prior to that and is not written off.

Mustajaab

11/1(-38%)
(2) Mustajaab 11/1, Well-bred colt who got back on the up when making a winning return at Southwell (7f) in May. Below that level next 2 starts but better effort equipped with blinkers when fourth of 8 in C&D handicap 3 weeks ago.
Respectable fourth over C&D three weeks ago but needs something extra today.

6th (3) Kiaraad (3.2/1 +4%)
Kiaraad

3.2
3.2/1(+4%)
(3) Kiaraad 3.2/1, Built on encouraging debut run when taking 7-runner Beverley maiden (7.4f) in June. Done nothing wrong in defeat since, best effort yet when second in a C&D handicap 21 days ago, collared final 50 yds. Remains low mileage and he's not out of things.
Second over C&D three weeks ago on handicap debut and open to further improvement.
LTO Selection:

16:32 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This could go the way of the recent C&D runner-up KIARAAD, who could have more to offer off 3lb higher. The son of Havana Grey is taken to get the better of Remarkable Force following his third over this distance at Sandown most recently. Kimnkate has been consistent of late and is another to consider following a comfortable victory, albeit off a 6lb lower mark, over C&D last time out.

Having run a fine race when third in a strong 3-y-o handicap on his penultimate start, DARK THIRTY may have found conditions too testing when fourth at Goodwood (7f) 24 days ago. Proven at this trip and boasting a likeable attitude, he can make a bold bid with the quicker surface here a plus. The thriving Kimnkate and Waiting All Night are others to consider.

The highly progressive filly KIMNKATE is the pick, having made it four wins for the summer when scoring over C&D last time.

(1) Above 5.5/1, Hasn't won for a while and only eighth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good) 52 days ago on his final run for Stuart Williams. More needed for his new yard.

(8) Foreseeable Future 8/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after recent 5f wins at Thirsk and Musselburgh. Up another 5 lb but he's firmly in the picture once more.
Four wins this season and a 5lb rise for last time shouldn't prevent another big run.

(3) Dandy Dinmont 4.5/1, 3-time winner last season. Yet to score this term but holding his form well, fifth of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Can go well again.
Several good placed efforts this year and he should be on the premises once again.

Two 5f wins in a lower grade this summer; looks vulnerable at this level.

(9) Stone Of Destiny 9/1, Untrustworthy individual. 9/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Thirty four runs since his last win in 2020, however.
Ability not in doubt but he's hard to win with and remains opposable.

(7) Saaheq 16/1, Two-time 5f winner at Chelmsford City in the spring. Only eleventh of 16 at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago so needs to get back on track.
Two AW wins this year; form has dipped the last twice but the handicapper is relenting.

(10) Tallulah Myla 11/1, Arrives in decent nick, tongue strap on when fourth of 6 to Straits of Moyle in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Not the easiest of rides but no forlorn hope.
Not kicked on from her Chelmsford win as may have been expected; others stronger.

Unexposed 3yo; promise in 5f novices but failed to fire on h'cap debut (6f) latest.

Off the mark for new yard at Yarmouth ten days ago; up in class but comes here in form.

Of interest on this year's best but form has dipped of late; returns to 5f.
LTO Selection:

17:03 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Foreseeable Future can do little wrong of late and the hat-trick seeking eight-year-old is fancied to be in the mix, despite a step up in class. However, STRAITS OF MOYLE took a step forward when securing a game win over this distance at Yarmouth last time out and he looks the one to beat. Rogue De Vega disappointed on his handicap debut on the all-weather last month and could bounce back on his return to turf.

STRAITS OF MOYLE displayed a good attitude when getting back to winning ways at Yarmouth so looks the way to go here having made an excellent start to life for Robert Cowell. Hat-trick seeking Foreseeable Future rates the obvious threat, with consistent duo Dandy Dinmont and Tallulah Myla appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Northern raiders Dandy Dinmont and FORESEEABLE FUTURE can fight this out with the latter taken to complete a hat-trick.

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.
