1st (1) Beautiful Love (8/11 +27%)
Beautiful Love

0.727273
8/11(+27%)
(1) Beautiful Love 8/11, Promising start with placed efforts in 7f events here and at Sandown (not quicken final 1f). Latest form is solid (third and fifth won next time) and she can probably do better yet. Buick rides over newcomer Dream of Hope.
Third both starts; her form is right up there and today's 1m should benefit.

2nd (3) Haya (10/1 -25%)
Haya

10
10/1(-25%)
(3) Haya 10/1, Ulysses filly. Closely related to smart winner up to 10.2f Dubai Icon. 16/1, slowly away and not knocked about while shaping with promise in 7.6f Lingfield fillies' novice on debut 42 days ago. Likely to improve.
Had to wait for a run before finishing well for fourth at Lingfield; should step up.

I Love Paris

7.5
15/2(+38%)
(4) I Love Paris 15/2, Promising start in a couple of 7f novice events, still green and not seen to best effect at Ffos Las latest. Longer trip will suit and more to come.
Debut was encouraging but then took a backward step at Ffos Las.

4th (6) Monterosa (12/1 +40%)
Monterosa

12
12/1(+40%)
(6) Monterosa 12/1, Well bred but has proven keen in a couple of 7f events. May need more time.
Superbly bred but has finished behind Beautiful Love in both her races.

Rainproof

100
100/1(-257%)
(7) Rainproof 100/1, Foaled March 22. Ulysses filly. Closely related to 6f winner Breach. Dam, 8.6f-1¼m winner, sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Moneycantbuymelove.
Trainer not one to rush his youngsters and probably one to watch this time.
9
6th (9) Remarkable Flight (40/1 -82%)
Remarkable Flight

40
40/1(-82%)
(9) Remarkable Flight 40/1, Foaled April 29. €20,000 foal, 26,000 gns 2-y-o, Gleneagles filly. Closely related to 11.5f winner Notice and half-sister to several winners, including useful 1m-1¾m winner Eagle Court and 7f winner Cheerfilly.
26,000gns 2yo; perhaps one for next season but makes sense to check the market.
2
7th (2) Dream Of Hope (6/1 +40%)
Dream Of Hope

6
6/1(+40%)
(2) Dream Of Hope 6/1, Foaled May 15. Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to French 11f winner Swift Spirit and useful 2-y-o 7f-1m winner Local Dynasty. Newcomer for top yard who clean up in these sort of events here, although Buick on the experienced Beautiful Love.
From a family that has served connections well; respected despite Buick not riding.
11
7th (11) Tuneful (125/1 -56%)
Tuneful

125
125/1(-56%)
(11) Tuneful 125/1, Has looked a work in progress in a couple of 7f events. Bred to stay well.
Beaten 14l at Newcastle (AW) and 9l at Leicester (7f, good to soft); this looks no easier.
8
9th (8) Regal Jubilee (6/1 +20%)
Regal Jubilee

6
6/1(+20%)
(8) Regal Jubilee 6/1, Foaled March 3. Frankel filly. Closely related to very smart winner up to 1¼m Regal Reality. Dam 7f winner (including at 2 yrs), from family of Cheveley Park winner Regal Rose. Interesting newcomer.
Frankel filly bred to be very smart and the market should be revealing.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Charlie Appleby has had a fine time of it recently and that run may continue here courtesy of BEAUTIFUL LOVE. She has posted two solid efforts so far and with this extra furlong likely to suit, the daughter of Siyouni is taken to open her account at the third time of asking. Kitty Furnival and Haya should have benefited from their debut efforts when finishing fourth and are the likely dangers, although Regal Jubilee and the selection's stablemate Dream Of Hope are interesting newcomers.

All the top local yards are represented and BEAUTIFUL LOVE can make her experience count and get off the mark. Kitty Furnival made a promising start at Goodwood and seems sure to go well with improvement likely. Regal Jubilee heads up a host of interesting newcomers.

With an entry in the Fillies' Mile, BEAUTIFUL LOVE can appreciate this step up in trip and make full use of her experience.

4
1st (4) Shining Jewel (11/4 -22%)
Shining Jewel

2.75
11/4(-22%)
(4) Shining Jewel 11/4, Well-bred filly who got her career back on track returning from a break in a novice at Chelmsford last time, forging clear from the front. More to come and worth a chance to follow up.
Stormed home on first run after wind op; this mark could easily underestimate her.
1
2nd (1) Lady Alara (11/1 -57%)
Lady Alara

11
11/1(-57%)
(1) Lady Alara 11/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Ascot (8f, firm, 25/1) 14 days ago by 2 lengths from Maggie's Way, keeping on gamely. Likely to prove vulnerable after a rise.
Made all for 25-1 success at Ascot and there was no fluke about that; raised 6lb.
9
3rd (9) Speriamo (11/1 +21%)
Speriamo

11
11/1(+21%)
(9) Speriamo 11/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark when making all on the July course a month ago. Seen to maximum effect there, though, and she's not an obvious one for the follow-up.
Has won on both Newmarket courses, with latest handicap coming off just 3lb lower.
2
4th (2) Maggie's Way (6/1 +33%)
Maggie's Way

6
6/1(+33%)
(2) Maggie's Way 6/1, Made a successful reappearance in 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (1m, heavy) in May and has generally remained in form since, shaping well (travelled smoothly) when second to Alvara at Ascot a fortnight ago. Could reverse form with that rival.
Second to Lady Alara last time and a 5lb pull with that rival could make it interesting.
10
5th (10) Azahara Palace (18/1 -80%)
Azahara Palace

18
18/1(-80%)
(10) Azahara Palace 18/1, Progressive filly who made it three from her last four in comfortable fashion at Chepstow last time. Prominent racing style should lend itself to this track, so she's a definite player.
Three Chepstow wins this summer; up 3lb for last time and heart is in the right place.
5
6th (5) Canoodled (11/2 +8%)
Canoodled

5.5
11/2(+8%)
(5) Canoodled 11/2, Bounced back to form with success in 9-runner handicap on July course in August and shaped as if still ahead of her mark when third at Haydock last time, having to pick way through. Should make a big impact if things drop right.
Goes particularly well at Newmarket and was unlucky not to collect last time at Haydock.
7
7th (7) Five Towns (8/1 -23%)
Five Towns

8
8/1(-23%)
(7) Five Towns 8/1, Still low mileage and confirmed the encouragement of her previous outing when scoring comfortably at Windsor last time. Open to further improvement and looks a serious player.
Won with plenty in hand at Windsor and a 5lb rise could have been worse.
8
8th (8) High Spirited (6/1 +33%)
High Spirited

6
6/1(+33%)
(8) High Spirited 6/1, Belardo filly who showed improved form to get off the mark in 13-runner maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) on her return in May. Right back on track despite missing the break when fourth at Ascot last time and may well have a bigger performance in her.
Close up in Lady Alara's Ascot handicap despite losing lengths at the start.
6
9th (6) Eximious (25/1 +0%)
Eximious

25
25/1(+0%)
(6) Eximious 25/1, Salisbury maiden winner last September. In good form this term prior to a blip at York last time. Could bounce back but others are more persuasive.
Maiden winner who has threatened in a handicap; hard to call her progressive.
3
10th (3) Don't Tell Claire (9/1 +36%)
Don't Tell Claire

9
9/1(+36%)
(3) Don't Tell Claire 9/1, C&D winner who is in better form than recent finishing positions suggest, looked after once her chance had gone at Ascot a fortnight ago. Cheekpieces go back on and she's hard to rule out.
Below par last time but dangerous off this mark and cheekpieces return.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Shining Jewel was a most impressive winner when making all at Chelmsford and if allowed a soft lead, she could be dangerous. An opening mark of 91 seems harsh, though, so she is taken on with FIVE TOWNS, who justified strong market support to land a Windsor handicap with the minimum of fuss and a 5lb rise may not be enough to stop her from following up. Azahara Palace is arguably unlucky not be chasing a five-timer and can't be discounted.

Having opened her account in dominant style at Chelmsford last time, SHINING JEWEL is well worth a chance to go in again with few miles on the clock. Five Towns is another with plenty of potential and she's regarded as a danger along with the thriving Canoodled.

The suggestion is FIVE TOWNS. She came from off the pace, was delivered widest of all and yet still won with comfort at Windsor.

1st (4) Ararat (5/2 +62%)
Ararat

2.5
5/2(+62%)
(4) Ararat 5/2, Lost her maiden tag over C&D in June and posted a creditable third of six there 28 days ago. Not discounted eased 1 lb.
In decent form but takes on two rivals who are firmly in the winning groove.
2
2nd (2) Magical Merlin (4/1 +20%)
Magical Merlin

4
4/1(+20%)
(2) Magical Merlin 4/1, Succcessful at Lingfield in June and bounced back to form in first-time cheekpieces when third of eight in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Firmly in the picture off an unchanged mark.
Ran creditably over 7f last week but may ideally need a return to 6f.
5
3rd (5) Alpha Capture (9/1 -29%)
Alpha Capture

9
9/1(-29%)
(5) Alpha Capture 9/1, Scored twice as a juvenile but he's largely underperformed this year, only eighth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Others are much preferred.
Listed winner at two; has gone the wrong way this year.
3
4th (3) Red Maids (16/5 -42%)
Red Maids

3.2
16/5(-42%)
(3) Red Maids 16/5, Arrives very much on the up and on a hat-trick after stylish 7f successes at Yarmouth and Haydock. Showed a good turn of foot on latter occasion so she merits serious consideration despite taking a 8 lb hike in the weights.
Well on top at the finish in last two races; in-form filly who may improve further.
1
5th (1) Capital Guarantee (11/4 -38%)
Capital Guarantee

2.75
11/4(-38%)
(1) Capital Guarantee 11/4, Made it 3-3 for his new yard in 7-runner handicap at Epsom 26 days ago, well on top at the finish. Up 6 lb but he rates a big player once more with few miles still on the clock.
3-3 for new yard, the wins on sharp tracks; clear possibilities if taking to this course.
LTO Selection:

14:50 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Capital Guarantee is unbeaten in three since moving to David O'Meara but while he looks sure to give another good account of himself, his winning streak may come to an end at the hands of RED MAIDS. Mark Rimell appears to have found the key to the three-year-old filly, who has won her last two comprehensively, and with William Buick in the saddle again, she narrowly edges the vote. Ararat should appreciate a return to an easier surface and appears best of the rest.

Mark Rimell's filly RED MAIDS has really clicked into gear of late so is fancied to defy an 8 lb weight hike and complete a quick hat-trick. Capital Guarantee hasn't looked back since joining David O'Meara though and is greatly feared in his bid for a four-timer, while Magical Merlin is weighted to have a big say too and shouldn't be underestimated either in an intriguing handicap.

In-form filly RED MAIDS could well progress again and complete a hat-trick. Capital Guarantee is feared most.

7
1st (7) Abate (7/1 +36%)
Abate

7
7/1(+36%)
(7) Abate 7/1, Largely consistent this year and was registering his third success of the campaign when gamely seeing off 5 rivals over 5f at Windsor in July. Another good effort when third in 13-runner event at Doncaster but handicapper may have him in his grip for win purposes.
Prolific winner on fast ground; ran surprisingly well last week in the mud.
5
2nd (5) Bussento (3/1 +33%)
Bussento

3
3/1(+33%)
(5) Bussento 3/1, Made the most of a good opportunity to land the odds in a Bath maiden last month and looked as good as ever when third of 11 in handicap at Ascot (6f, firm) 14 days ago. Respected for in-form yard.
Recent maiden winner and another good handicap effort at Ascot two weeks ago.
8
3rd (8) Equiano Springs (17/2 +6%)
Equiano Springs

8.5
17/2(+6%)
(8) Equiano Springs 17/2, Fine record across both courses here, including 4 C&D wins and his latest success on the July Course in July. Proved too free when ninth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago and he's not one to discount returned to this track.
Below par of late but has won this race three times in four years; on a good mark.
12
4th (12) Ray Vonn (14/1 +30%)
Ray Vonn

14
14/1(+30%)
(12) Ray Vonn 14/1, Ran best race when third at the July Course on his handicap debut but hasn't replicated that performance in 2 outings since. Mark has slipped but others still preferred.
Capable of a big run but below par the last twice; a tough race in which to bounce back.
11
5th (11) Heroism (14/1 +0%)
Heroism

14
14/1(+0%)
(11) Heroism 14/1, Remains winless since his debut, and though he's shaped as if capable of winning from this sort of mark, regular slow starts continue to prove a hindrance. Stronger pace here may prove more suitable but he'll likely need things to drop right.
Second at Windsor three starts back and feasible excuses since then.
4
6th (4) Celtic Champion (9/2 +50%)
Celtic Champion

4.5
9/2(+50%)
(4) Celtic Champion 9/2, Much improved when winning 6-runner handicap at Lingfield in February and shaped well after a 6-month absence when fifth of 15 on the July Course here last month. Unable to find cover from a wide draw at Wolverhampton last time and he's one to remain positive about.
Hasn't been ideally drawn in either run since returning from six months off.
9
7th (9) Shades Of Summer (13/2 +0%)
Shades Of Summer

6.5
13/2(+0%)
(9) Shades Of Summer 13/2, Gained third success at Chelmsford City in April for James Tate and shaped encouragingly from out of weights on her first outing for current yard when third of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 8/1) 16 days ago. Player.
Ran well in a 6f handicap at Salisbury latest and stiffer finish here should be a help.
10
8th (10) Dashing Dick (11/1 -10%)
Dashing Dick

11
11/1(-10%)
(10) Dashing Dick 11/1, Justified support to make last month's visit to the July Course a winning one and shaped as if still in form when seventh of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago, finishing well having met trouble at a crucial stage. Can give another good account.
He's running well and the return of cheekpieces isn't necessarily a negative.
2
9th (2) Rock Of England (8/1 -100%)
Rock Of England

8
8/1(-100%)
(2) Rock Of England 8/1, Has built up a positive profile since dropping to 6f, scoring at Hamilton in June before doubling his tally for the year Carlisle last month. Had bit in hand when scoring there and is shortlisted from 5 lb higher mark.
Visor worked at Carlisle last time but he's off a career-high mark after going up 5lb.
6
10th (6) Temple Bruer (16/1 -33%)
Temple Bruer

16
16/1(-33%)
(6) Temple Bruer 16/1, Won at Doncaster and on the July Course in June but his overall record is patchy and he failed to meet expectations when only mid-field on his return to Doncaster last week. Others make more appeal.
Solid form claims on this year's best; ground was too soft last week at Doncaster.
3
11th (3) Royal Parade (28/1 -100%)
Royal Parade

28
28/1(-100%)
(3) Royal Parade 28/1, Back to form in emphatic fashion win winning at Goodwood in June but hasn't threatened to win again in 4 starts since, off the bridle a fair way out when fourth at that same course earlier this month. Others preferred.
Only 2lb higher than for an impressive summer win; drying ground in his favour.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BUSSENTO was only beaten a length into third in a class 2 event at Ascot and has been raised just 1lb. The three-year-old is aided by the booking of the in-form William Buick and he could prove tough to beat. Last-time-out winner Rock Of England retains the visor that may have brought out the improvement needed to score at Carlisle and he should go well off 5lb higher. Abate was a fair third at Doncaster and he isn't out of it either.

ROCK OF ENGLAND has done well since dropping to this trip and scored with more in hand than the margin suggested at Carlisle last time, so he's taken to follow up from a 5 lb higher mark. Celtic Champion remains low mileage and has valid excuses for finishing down the field at Wolverhampton last time, so also makes the shortlist, with Shades of Summer and Dashing Dick others to consider.

With a strong pace to chase it could be worth risking the free-going HEROISM. There have been valid excuses the last twice.

(10) Campaign Trail 3/1, Steadily progressive sort who opened his account in ready fashion at Catterick (12f) in July and followed up on handicap debut at Nottingham (2m) 39 days ago, value for more than winning margin implies. Strong claims in hat-trick bid.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 18f Race Class Flow

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

GRAND PROVIDENCE was unlucky not to justify favouritism, going down fighting at Goodwood, and a 2lb rise may not be enough to prevent her from going one better. The hat-trick seeking Campaign Trail has to be considered, with his latest Nottingham victory proving that he has a future as a stayer. Of the remainder, Irish raider Extensio makes the most appeal after his Clonmel success.

CAMPAIGN TRAIL is an improving and unexposed stayer who looks up to completing the hat-trick. Fellow 3-y-o Grand Providence may emerge as the biggest threat with this extra distance likely to suit, with the thriving Extensio best of the others.

Three Irish challengers help to make this look a strong race and preference is for one of those in SHEISHYBRID (nap).

Madame Ambassador

7.5
15/2(+32%)
(3) Madame Ambassador 15/2, Fairly useful filly who scored here last season and was back to form when runner-up at Goodwood a month ago. Should go well, particularly if she's allowed an easy lead.
Seen far more often at 1m4f, for instance for two Newmarket wins in 2022; 1m2f a concern.

No improvement in form but early days and better might be forthcoming on handicap debut.

(6) Therapist 5/1, Switched to handicap company, showed improved form when gaining a first success here (July course) in July. Shaped well upped in grade when third at the same C&D next time and had irregular heartbeat at Goodwood last time. Not ruled out.
Heavy ground when she tailed off at Glorious Goodwood last time and that is forgivable.

Chelsea Green

5.5

Half-sister to Arc winner Sottsass; off since two promising runs last season; one to note.

Ex-French; dropped 4lb and very lightly raced but others have much more solid claims.
LTO Selection:

16:35 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Roger Varian won this in 2021 and can repeat the feat courtesy of PURE DIGNITY. A winner on the July Course here in June last year and second at Kempton in September, she hasn't been seen since but is potentially well handicapped. She was beaten two lengths by Laurel at Kempton and that filly went close in the Sun Chariot shortly after, suggesting a mark of 86 could be generous. Karat Karat and Prenup look the likeliest to take advantage if the selection needs the run.

CHELSEA GREEN ran well in a listed contest at Vichy last time despite suffering interference and there's probably a bigger effort in her back in handicaps after a break. She's preferred to unexposed pair Pure Dignity and Karat Karat, while Prenup is expected

Pure Dignity catches the eye but preference is for CHELSEA GREEN who ran well last time on her first crack at 1m2f.

I Still Have Faith

3.5
7/2(+36%)
(11) I Still Have Faith 7/2, Strong-travelling sort who produced a career best to resume winning ways in 15-runner minor event at Doncaster (8f, good, 10/3) 6 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Respected under a 6-lb penalty.
Consistent 3yo who ran away with last week's Legends Race at Doncaster; penalised.

Alazwar

8/1(+20%)
(6) Alazwar 8/1, Winless for over a year now but is down to a good mark and can't be dismissed for all that he hasn't really been firing of late.
Finished behind Sagano and Maplewood on last couple of runs but has each-way claims.

3rd (13) Orchestra (12/1 +14%)
Orchestra

12
12/1(+14%)
(13) Orchestra 12/1, Has dipped below his last winning mark but had no excuses on his most recent outing at Carlisle (11.2f). Back down in trip.
Patchy profile since last win in May and has been running over longer distances.
9
4th (9) Le Reveur (14/1 -17%)
Le Reveur

14
14/1(-17%)
(9) Le Reveur 14/1, Quirky but very capable performer on his day and proved far too good for his rivals in a 1m event on the July Course (1m) last month, despite hanging left. Ran at least as well in defeat in a stronger event at Newcastle since, though he's not the type to stay in form for long.
Nowhere in this 12 months ago but returns in much better form.
3
5th (3) Piecederesistance (9/1 +36%)
Piecederesistance

9
9/1(+36%)
(3) Piecederesistance 9/1, Won at Pontefract in 2022 and turned in his best effort of the season when runner-up in that corresponding event this year. Below from at Sandown and York subsequently, though.
Finds winning hard; a tendency to race freely is always a concern at Newmarket.
8
6th (8) Lenny's Spirit (14/1 -17%)
Lenny's Spirit

14
14/1(-17%)
(8) Lenny's Spirit 14/1, Has built a good rapport with this rider this summer, notching his third win under her in a 5-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) last month. Found his run of good form coming to a halt at Ascot last time, though.
Sophie Smith has been aboard for his last five runs, winning three of them.

Billy Roberts

33
33/1(-136%)
(14) Billy Roberts 33/1, Not getting any younger but is on a good mark judged on the pick of last season's efforts and shaped best when neck second of 5 in handicap at Ripon (10.9f, good) 26 days ago. Must enter calculations.
Has won ten races and nearly made that 11 over 1m3f at Ripon last month.

8th (2) Sagano (14/1 -56%)
Sagano

14
14/1(-56%)
(2) Sagano 14/1, Fairly useful in France and stopped the slide for his new yard after 11 weeks off when second in 7-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 44 days ago. On a dangerous mark if able to build on that.
Did well in France; best run for this yard when a gambled-on second at Sandown latest.

9th (4) Eton Blue (11/2 -10%)
Eton Blue

5.5
11/2(-10%)
(4) Eton Blue 11/2, Is in the form of his life at present, following up his Goodwood success under a penalty at Brighton (11.9f, good) 20 days ago, suited by way race developed. Back down in trip and must be respected in his hat-trick bid.
Has rarely been in better form and he gels with Simon Walker.
5
10th (5) Crown Princess (18/1 -13%)
Crown Princess

18
18/1(-13%)
(5) Crown Princess 18/1, Proved as good as ever to notch her first win of the season in game fashion at Redcar in August and shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 13 there (1m) 2 weeks later.
Below her best at Redcar last time but won there the time before off just 2lb lower.
15
11th (15) Voltaic (18/1 -13%)
Voltaic

18
18/1(-13%)
(15) Voltaic 18/1, Ended a losing run stretching back to the beginning of last year at Salisbury in July and wasted no time getting back to form when third in 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 3 weeks ago. This is a stronger race, though.
Last-gasp winner under Sarah Bowen at Salisbury in July; decent run from a bad draw latest.
7
12th (7) Super Den (25/1 -56%)
Super Den

25
25/1(-56%)
(7) Super Den 25/1, Landed back-to-back all-weather handicap at the beginning of the year and has returned from a break in decent heart without really threatening to regain the winning thread.
Third at Chelmsford three weeks ago but that's more his scene.
12
13th (12) Gert Lush (18/1 +18%)
Gert Lush

18
18/1(+18%)
(12) Gert Lush 18/1, Looked at least as good as ever with her reappearance under her belt when getting back to winning ways at Sandown (9f) in May. Backed up that effort when second at Chepstow (10f) a month later and might have needed the run after 12 weeks off at Salisbury last time.
Was running well but after 83 days off she finished last at Salisbury.
10
14th (10) Give It Some Teddy (9/1 -38%)
Give It Some Teddy

9
9/1(-38%)
(10) Give It Some Teddy 9/1, Resumed winning ways from an easing mark in 7-runner handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft) last week, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Remains on a good mark on old form following a 5 lb rise.
Won easily last week at Chester and a 5lb rise isn't beyond him at all.
1
15th (1) Maplewood (20/1 +0%)
Maplewood

20
20/1(+0%)
(1) Maplewood 20/1, Trained by Charlie Appleby when winning at Windsor last year. Failed to beat a rival on return from 14-month absence at Sandown but left that well behind when fifth of 11 at Ascot (1m) 15 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal.
Second run back from an absence when under 3l away at Ascot two weeks ago.
LTO Selection:

17:10 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Gert Lush has to be of some interest with a three-out-of-three record over this trip and a win here over shorter in 2020, but she was last of eight at Salisbury recently and may have to settle for a place at best. Alazwar is perfectly capable of going close having won off higher marks and with the benefit of Brodie Hampson in the saddle, but GIVE IT SOME TEDDY may be the one. An easy winner at Chester last week and to be ridden by Emily Roberts again, he has won 10 races and can make it 11.

ETON BLUE was suited by the way the race developed at Brighton last time, but there's no escaping he's in the form of his life at present, so gets the nod to bring up the hat-trick. Alazwar hasn't been firing of late but is down to a good mark, so it would be folly to rule him out, while veteran Billy Roberts shaped best on his most recent outing at Ripon and is another to consider.

I Still Have Faith is a danger but VOLTAIC was fourth in this off a higher mark 12 months ago and he returns in good nick.

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.
