Coppice

5.5
11/2(-38%)
(8) Coppice 11/2, Landed Sandringham at Royal Ascot (8f) in June and far from disgraced when fifth in Falmouth at Newmarket following month. Saddle slipped when ninth of 10 in Atalanta Stakes at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 27 days ago so she must enter calculations.
Won the Sandringham at Royal Ascot; saddle slipped last time; major player if back to best.

2nd (6) Potapova (8/1 -33%)
Potapova

8
8/1(-33%)
(6) Potapova 8/1, Not at her smart best this season, though turned in her best effort of the year when third in Group 3 at Sandown 27 days ago. Should be in the mix again on that form.
Group 3 winner last August; hasn't hit same heights this term but can still be in the mix.
12
3rd (12) Tarawa (13/2 +0%)
Tarawa

6.5
13/2(+0%)
(12) Tarawa 13/2, Useful filly. Yet to score this term but she arrives in good form, fifth of 10 to Flight Plan in Dullingham Park Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and in the picture once more.
Not at her very best the last twice but a contender if back to her peak now in cheekpieces.
10
4th (10) Queen For You (6/1 -50%)
Queen For You

6
6/1(-50%)
(10) Queen For You 6/1, Won on her debut in striking fashion at Ascot in May and has made up into a useful filly since, cheekpieces on when excellent second of 10 to Heredia in Atalanta Stakes at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Holds good form claims with the headgear retained.
Lightly raced 3yo who was runner-up in Group 3 last time and is on the shortlist.
3
5th (3) Ameynah (11/1 +0%)
Ameynah

11
11/1(+0%)
(3) Ameynah 11/1, Very lightly-raced 4-y-o. Made an encouraging return from a 15-month absence when fourth in 1m Ascot Group 3 but only seventh in listed race at Salisbury (9.9f, good, 7/1) 44 days ago. Needs to get back on track.
Very lightly raced 4yo who was stretched by 1m2f last time and could have a part to play.
11
6th (11) Silver Lady (5/2 +50%)
Silver Lady

2.5
5/2(+50%)
(11) Silver Lady 5/2, Bred to be the part and she scored with plenty in hand on her debut at Newmarket (1m) in April. Built on that when neck third of 8 to Sounds of Heaven in listed race at York (7.9f, good to firm) following month. Hood on 1st time. Should progress further after a lay-off. Considered.
Close 3rd in York Listed race in May despite pulling hard; the hood could help her settle.
9
7th (9) Naomi Lapaglia (20/1 +29%)
Naomi Lapaglia

20
20/1(+29%)
(9) Naomi Lapaglia 20/1, Landed 7f handicap at Newmarket in July and backed it up with a good third of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm) 36 days ago. This demands plenty more but she's still lightly raced.
Has run well in first two handicaps but further improvement needed in this higher grade.
1
8th (1) Astral Beau (8/1 +43%)
Astral Beau

8
8/1(+43%)
(1) Astral Beau 8/1, Very progressive handicapper in 2022 and improved again to land Doncaster listed race in April. Posted a good fourth of 8 to Nashwa in Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket (8f, good) 77 days ago so this course winner needs considering.
Carries a 3lb penalty but this Listed/course winner is entitled to respect.
5
9th (5) Lightship (50/1 -52%)
Lightship

50
50/1(-52%)
(5) Lightship 50/1, Useful filly who scored twice on AW at Kempton in February. Poted another solid effort when sixth of 8 to Gregarina in listed race at Deauville (8f, good to soft) 82 days ago so she's not ruled out.
Solid efforts when sixth the last twice but needs something extra here.
2
10th (2) Amanzoe (66/1 -100%)
Amanzoe

66
66/1(-100%)
(2) Amanzoe 66/1, Upwardly-mobile 3-y-o, winning 4 times, but yet to hit top form in two runs this term, only ninth in handicap at Ascot (8f, firm) 20 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now.
Highly progressive handicapper last summer but below par on both runs this year.
7
11th (7) Quick Change (18/1 +55%)
Quick Change

18
18/1(+55%)
(7) Quick Change 18/1, Useful filly. Scored at Haydock in June and has recorded creditable efforts since, second of 12 to Loliwood in listed race at Longchamp (8f, good) 29 days ago. This demands more, however.
Placed in two French Listed races this summer and may be able to make a bold bid.
4
|PU| (4) Crystal Caprice (22/1 +0%)
Crystal Caprice

22
22/1(+0%)
(4) Crystal Caprice 22/1, Useful filly but she came in last of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good) in June. More is needed after her break.
Not at very best this year but good third in this last season and not written off.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Coppice had a legitimate excuse (saddle slipped) when she failed to give her running in the Atalanta Stakes at Sandown and many will be willing to put that run aside with Frankie Dettori back in the saddle. However, she didn't appear to be entirely happy when she faded into fifth in the Falmouth on the July Course on her previous outing and, with that in mind, Atalanta third POTAPOVA looks a more appealing option, especially with her stable in resurgent form. Queen For You and Astral Beau are a couple of other notable contenders.

A case can be made for a few of these but QUEEN FOR YOU holds the edge on form and is proving a consistent sort too so edges the vote on the back of her excellent Sandown Group 3 second. Sandringham heroine Coppice can be excused her ninth in that contest when her saddle slipped and she rates the chief threat, although both Potapova and Tarawa can have a say too in an open Group 3.

The possible settling effect of the first-time hood could be a positive for the very lightly raced Godolphin 3yo SILVER LADY.

1st (2) Time Lock (9/2 +50%)
Time Lock

4.5
9/2(+50%)
(2) Time Lock 9/2, Knocked on the door in listed/Group events before making the most of a good opportunity in a listed race in France last time. Likely to be in the shake-up again.
Made the breakthrough at Listed level in France four weeks ago (did it smoothly, at 4-5).
10
2nd (10) Sweet Memories (4/1 -33%)
Sweet Memories

4
4/1(-33%)
(10) Sweet Memories 4/1, Came a long way in a short space of time in the summer, winning 1¼m Newbury novice in July and producing a near-smart performance on only her third start when following up in 1½m listed event on the July course here a fortnight later. Can take the next step up the ladder now.
Improved in leaps and bounds; better highly likely after just three races, if ground okay.
7
3rd (7) Running Lion (11/2 -22%)
Running Lion

5.5
11/2(-22%)
(7) Running Lion 11/2, Impressive when easily completing a 4-timer in the 1¼m Pretty Polly here (soft) in May. Back on track after her flop in the French Oaks when 3¾ lengths second in 1¼m Salisbury listed race last month, albeit still a bit below her Pretty Polly form. First attempt at 1½m. Respected back here.
Stays 1m2f well; back on track with Listed 2nd at Salisbury (1m2f, good) on latest start.
6
4th (6) Novakai (4/1 +27%)
Novakai

4
4/1(+27%)
(6) Novakai 4/1, Runner-up in Fillies' Mile here at 2 and bagged a 1½m listed race on the July course this summer. Found the Yorkshire Oaks too much since but she ought to be very competitive in these slightly calmer waters.
Drew nearly 5l clear in a Listed race on the other Newmarket course (1m4f, good).
4
5th (4) Azazat (10/1 +17%)
Azazat

10
10/1(+17%)
(4) Azazat 10/1, Useful filly. 5/4, creditable 1¾ lengths second of 14 to Unless in listed race at the Curragh (1¼m, good) 47 days ago. Will need to pull out more for first-time cheekpieces.
Return to 1m4f can help with further improvement but it is needed, in first-time headgear.
11
6th (11) Veil Of Shadows (28/1 -100%)
Veil Of Shadows

28
28/1(-100%)
(11) Veil Of Shadows 28/1, Debut winner at Kempton in February and useful efforts when runner-up in handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Haydock (1¼m; to promising stablemate Sapphire Seas) on her last 2 outings. A bit more needed at this level.
This grade demands a good deal more; new trip may well be within reach.
8
7th (8) Scarlett O'hara (28/1 +0%)
Scarlett O'hara

28
28/1(+0%)
(8) Scarlett O'hara 28/1, Useful filly. Winner of maiden at the Curragh (1½m) in June. Better form when reaching the frame at Group 3 level on her 2 outings since but more will be needed to play a prominent role here.
Close up in 1m6f Group 3 at Leopardstown and 1m4f Group 3 at Deauville; heading right way.
3
8th (3) Voodoo Queen (22/1 -57%)
Voodoo Queen

22
22/1(-57%)
(3) Voodoo Queen 22/1, Course winner. 9/2, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner listed race at Pontefract (1½m, good) in June by 1¾ lengths from One Evening. Off since. Probably vulnerable to the 3-y-os.
Improver this season, winning a 1m4f Listed race at Pontefract in June on latest start.
9
9th (9) Sea Theme (11/2 -10%)
Sea Theme

5.5
11/2(-10%)
(9) Sea Theme 11/2, Ready winner of 1½m Doncaster novice (soft) on second start and looked a smart prospect when following up in a York listed event over the same trip (good to firm) 4 weeks later. Definitely more to come.
Probably needs better still but she's been a big improver, taking the Galtres last time.
5
10th (5) Elegancia (33/1 -18%)
Elegancia

33
33/1(-18%)
(5) Elegancia 33/1, Got off the mark at the fifth time of asking in a Bath novice (1¼m) in August and posted an improved and useful effort when following up in an Ascot handicap (1¼m again) 5 weeks later. A good deal more will be needed now stepping up to Group 3 level. First attempt at 1½m.
Upped in trip; settling her is an issue; major improvement is needed on this hat-trick bid.
1
11th (1) Peripatetic (16/1 +52%)
Peripatetic

16
16/1(+52%)
(1) Peripatetic 16/1, Won a listed race over this trip on her reappearance but has found Group company beyond her on her 2 outings since. Suspicion that might prove to be the case again.
Second in this race 2022; soundly beaten at Goodwood latest, albeit trying 1m6f on heavy.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Newmarket Group 3 (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

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

This has undoubtedly been a stellar season for Karl Burke and further Group-race success could be imminent if NOVAKAI runs anywhere near the level that saw her finish a close second in the Fillies' Mile here last October. Having shown her stamina over 1m4f with a victory in the Aphrodite on the July Course on her penultimate start, Burke's filly has proven credentials for a race of this nature and another big run is expected. Running Lion also has some high-class form to her name, but she has something to prove on her first try beyond 1m2f. Therefore, the less exposed three-year-olds Sweet Memories and Sea Theme may be more potent threats.

A good Group 3. SWEET MEMORIES and Sea Theme could both be very good after scoring in listed company on only their third starts and look the pair to focus on, with a narrow vote going the way of the former under Frankie Dettori. The selection's stablemate Running Lion should also have a part to play back at the scene of her Pretty Polly win in the spring.

No shortage of plausible claims. The top two options may be SWEET MEMORIES and Sea Theme, who have both had just three races.

Carla's Way

3.5
3.5/1(+30%)
(2) Carla's Way 3.5/1, Big-money breeze-up buy who created an excellent impression when readily making all in 6.5f maiden at Doncaster on debut. Back on track when runner-up in Prestige Stakes at Goodwood last month and might not have finished improving.
Runner-up in Group 3 Prestige at Goodwood and the form has been franked by the winner.
5
2nd (5) Shuwari (1.62/1 +7%)
Shuwari

1.62
1.62/1(+7%)
(5) Shuwari 1.62/1, 80,000 gns yearling bred to be useful and looks just that having won 7f Newbury novice and Sandown listed race in good style. She saw off the Sweet Solera winner Fallen Angel last time, with another couple of subsequent improvers (including a stablemate) in behind.
2-2 and her last-time-out Listed win at Sandown has received firm boosts; leading claims.
7
3rd (7) Ylang Ylang (5/2 +0%)
Ylang Ylang

2.5
5/2(+0%)
(7) Ylang Ylang 5/2, Highly promising Frankel filly who has made all in Curragh maiden and Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown (7f, by 1½ lengths from Vespertilio) this summer. Something amiss in Moyglare Stud Stakes at former course last time, but remains with potential.
Flopped in the Moyglare but 2-2 previously (including Group 3) and could bounce back.
6
4th (6) Spiritual (12/1 -33%)
Spiritual

12
12/1(-33%)
(6) Spiritual 12/1, €280,000 Invincible Spirit filly from a good family. Ideal start when scoring at Leicester recently, well on top at the finish. Open to significant improvement, so looks a player.
Won on recent debut at Leicester despite pulling hard and should have a very bright future.
8
5th (8) Zenjabeela (18/1 -29%)
Zenjabeela

18
18/1(-29%)
(8) Zenjabeela 18/1, Off the mark with plenty to spare in a Southwell maiden on her second start and did well in the circumstances when following up in minor event at Beverley (7.4f) 27 days ago, denied a clear run 2f out. Worth considering for all that this is a marked step up.
Maiden/novice wins the last twice; something to find here but could have more left in tank.
3
6th (3) Carolina Reaper (14/1 +50%)
Carolina Reaper

14
14/1(+50%)
(3) Carolina Reaper 14/1, Useful filly who doubled her tally in Zukunfts-Rennen at Baden-Baden a month ago. This is tougher but she's likely to give her all again.
Won German Group 3 last time; this race is likely to take a lot more winning.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Newmarket Group 2 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Far from disgraced when a very close third in the Group 3 Prix d'Aumale at ParisLongchamp, ALSHINFARAH is fancied to appreciate dropping back to this trip and can resume winning ways, having started her career with victories at Doncaster and Haydock. Obviously, this is a much stiffer test and the likes of the unbeaten Shuwari, along with the progressive Carla's Way, present the selection with some serious competition. John and Thady Gosden's Spiritual completes the shortlist after an impressive debut win at Leicester.

YLANG YLANG was hugely impressive on her first two starts and, despite a blip last time, she makes most appeal with the scope for better. The unbeaten Shuwari is an obvious danger and Carla's Way deserves respect on the back of a solid showing at Goodwood.

The unbeaten SHUWARI earns the vote with the form of her Listed win at Sandown in July having been boosted by the runner-up.

Mutasaabeq

2.75
11/4(+31%)
(1) Mutasaabeq 11/4, Signed off last season with an all-the-way success in this race and bright start to present campaign when landing a C&D Group 2 in May. Below par last 2 starts but dangerous to discount back at a course where he clearly excels (4-5 on the Rowley Mile) and given that he may be allowed a soft lead.

2nd (5) Regal Reality (16/1 -45%)
Regal Reality

16
16/1(-45%)
(5) Regal Reality 16/1, Has won a Group 3 every year since 2018, including 6-runner Diomed Stakes at Epsom in June. Creditable efforts behind Mighty Ulysses and Chindit the last twice but will need to be better than ever if he's to go one better than he did when hitting the crossbar in this race in 2020.

Chindit

3.333333

(2) Chindit 10/3, Game when narrowly outpointing Mutasaabeq in the Summer Mile at Ascot last year and winner of 3 of his 6 starts this season, most recently a Sandown listed contest (1m, heavy) 9 days ago. Forecast quicker ground here will, if anything, be a plus and he's a big player.

4th (6) Epictetus (5/1 +33%)
Epictetus

5

(6) Epictetus 5/1, Smart form at 2 yrs and perfect start to this season when landing the 1¼m Blue Riband Trial at Epsom. Drop back to this trip worked in his favour when scoring at Glorious Goodwood (soft) last month but came up short in the Celebration Mile there since and slower ground would probably be ideal.

(3) Maljoom 9/2, Unraced at 2 yrs but quickly made up into a smart miler last season, scoring at Doncaster and Kempton before going on to land the German 2000 Guineas. Looked unlucky when a close fourth in the St James's Palace at Royal Ascot last June and, though absent since, he remains a colt with potential.
4
6th (4) Mighty Ulysses (4/1 +20%)
Mighty Ulysses

4
4/1(+20%)
(4) Mighty Ulysses 4/1, Winner of C&D novice and listed race on the other course here in 2022. All the better for his belated reappearance spin when, equipped with first-time cheekpieces, dead-heating in a Salisbury Group 3 (1m, good) with Regal Reality (3 lb pull) a close-up third last month. This is tougher.
LTO Selection:

15:35 Newmarket Group 2 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MALJOOM is a fascinating contender on his return from a long layoff. William Haggas' colt was unlucky when denied a clear run in the 2022 St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, eventually storming home to finish a close-up fourth. He would take some stopping on that level of performance so his fitness might be worth chancing. Chindit completed a quickfire double when hanging on to defy top weight in a Listed event at Sandown last week and must enter calculations, while last year's winner Mutasaabeq always merits respect at this venue.

Everything looks in place for last year's winner MUTASAABEQ to stage a return to form. His record on the Rowley Mile is almost impeccable (sole defeat from five starts on this course came in the 2021 2000 Guineas) and this small-field scenario is perfect for him (form figures in fields comprising seven runners or fewer reads 1111232411). The bang in-form Chindit will offer stern resistance and he is next on the list ahead of the unexposed Maljoom, who will be a big threat if fully tuned-up.

Maljoom is a fascinating contender but preference is for CHINDIT who has been in fine form on his two starts this month.

Dam 1m winner. Oisin Murphy is a positive jockey booking, and would enter calculations if supported in the betting.

Holds a couple of Group 1 entries, so this newcomer needs keeping a close eye on in the betting.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Zain Blue has arguably achieved the most of these on his two runner-up efforts to date and is likely to be involved in the shake-up once more. Nevertheless, ACCUMULATE did well to finish second from a poor early position on his debut at Ascot and, with any improvement, the Calyx colt may go one place better in this contest. Al Shabab Storm is another to consider after an encouraging opening bid at Leicester, while Symbol Of Power features among a clutch of interesting newcomers.

ZAIN BLUE backed up his debut effort when runner-up in the Convivial at York and, with that form proving notably strong, he's selected to become the fifth next-time-out winner from that maiden. Accumulate shaped with bags of promise on his recent Ascot debut and is open to plenty of improvement, with Symbol of Power pick of the newcomers before market clues.

Roger Varian won this last year and could again provide the answer, with ACCUMULATE who was a promising second on his recent debut.

Psalm

8/1(-129%)
(6) Psalm 8/1, Foaled April 27. 300,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Brother to useful winner up to 1m Boerhan and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 6f Shamshon and 5.5f-7.5f winner Shajjy. Holds Group race entries and commands respect on debut for powerful connections.
Likely to improve for this debut run but could still play leading role for top Irish yard.

6/1(+50%)
(4) Markoon 6/1, Foaled February 10. Kingman colt. Dam 1m-1¼m winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for leading stable and he's yet another newcomer to note.
First foal; dam 1m/1m2f Listed winner; in top hands; no surprise to see a big run on debut.

(3) Lavender Hill Mob 40/1, Foaled March 14. Expert Eye colt. Half-brother to numerous winners, including very smart winner up to 7f James Garfield and useful 1m-1¼m winner Eva Maria. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper so worth noting if the betting speaks in his favour.
Bred to be talented (half-brother to James Garfield) and he's an interesting newcomer.

16:45 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

BROADWAY ACT has posted a couple of solid efforts in defeat when second on the July Course and a similar level of performance could be enough to shed his maiden tag at the third time of asking. Psalm, a 300,000gns purchase, must merit respect on his debut and the Aidan O'Brien-trained son of Sea The Stars needs monitoring in the market. Placo and Ten Bob Tony have displayed enough ability to suggest that they can get involved too.

BROADWAY ACT took a step forward from his promising debut effort when again finding only a potentially smart sort too strong over this trip on the July Course 5 weeks ago and with the prospect of more to come, he could well be up to going one place better. Newcomer Psalm holds group-race entries for his powerful stable and is well worthy of note, whilst Placo, following his promising Leicester debut fourth is also worth a look in a most intriguing maiden.

Broadway Act sets a useful standard having been runner-up on both starts but this could go to the Ballydoyle newcomer PSALM.

Tregony

10
10/1(+50%)
(3) Tregony 10/1, Took her record on all-weather to 4 wins from 6 starts when successful at Newcastle (10.2f) on her final outing last season and hit the frame for the third time in just 4 starts this year when close third in listed event at York (11.8f, good to firm) last month. In the mix with a repeat.
Close third in 1m4f York Listed race was career-best form, running on well from off pace.

New London

1.1
1.1/1(+37%)
(2) New London 1.1/1, Very smart at 3 yrs, winning 3 times (notably Group 3 at Goodwood). Failed to justify favouritism in the St Leger at Doncaster final start but made solid return to action when close third in listed event on the July course. Down the field in Group 1 company in Germany since and this more suitable.
2022 St Leger 2nd; creditable on return but rather disappointing in German Group 1 latest.

2.5/1(-25%)
(5) Lion's Pride 2.5/1, Highly promising sort who saw off 2 next-time-out winners of competitive 3-y-o handicaps at big festivals in 11f Kempton novice in July. Improved further fast tracked to listed level when close third to Candleford at Windsor last month and there's better still to come.
Still had something to learn when close third to Candleford at Windsor; could do better.

Imperial Quarter

33/1(-136%)
(6) Imperial Quarter 33/1, Shaped very well on debut when fifth on the July course and confirmed that promise by landing the odds in comfortable fashion at Carlisle (9f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Upped significantly in trip/grade and though she's open to improvement, she'll likely come up short.
Won the second of two novices; good pedigree points to 1m4f but she needs huge improvement.

Candleford

5.5
11/2(-57%)
(1) Candleford 11/2, Duke of Edinburgh winner at Royal Ascot 2022 and proved better than ever as he scored for the first time at this level at Windsor a month ago. Backed that up with a good second in Group 3 at Kempton (12f) since and must hold serious claims back in this company.
Won Windsor Listed race (Lion's Pride a close third); has the form to be taken seriously.

Likely to stay; it will be interesting to see if his backers return after his April flop.

17:20 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

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

NEW LONDON weakened into fifth in the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin in August, but the Charlie Appleby stable is in better form now and, dropped into Listed class, he can belatedly get off the mark for the season. Lion's Pride is less exposed after only three starts, including a Kempton success and a one-length third behind Candleford at Windsor following a slow start, and he could be a serious danger. Blanchland was second in the Zetland Stakes last year, but struggled in the Feilden Stakes on his only start this campaign.

As is usually the case a small field assemble for this listed contest and it's NEW LONDON who is selected to come out on top for last year's winning combination Charlie Appleby & William Buick. He wasn't up to Group 1 company in Germany last month, but with the tongue tie back on and his sights lowered significantly, he can get the better of Lion's Pride, who looks a colt on the up after just a handful of starts. Candleford can fill out third spot.

New London's modest show in Germany leaves Candleford and LION'S PRIDE as the most likely principals.

(3) Real Gain 11/4, Overcame the widest draw when winning at Kempton on debut and followed up at Chelmsford (10f) in July on his return. After 9 weeks off, lost his unbeaten record but emerged with plenty of credit when third at York (7.9f) on handicap/turf debut 19 days ago. Respected.
Unexposed; should be suited by this step back up in trip on second turf run; respected.

(4) Island Bandit 13/2, Better than ever when doubling his tally for the year at Sandown (1m) in August, though had the run of the race, and not in the same form when down the field at Newbury 9 days later. May just find others stronger.
Held off this career-high mark last time; others may prove better treated.

In These Shoes

(9) In These Shoes 17/2, Back under less testing conditions (all-weather debut), took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 7 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month, despite having been left poorly placed. Task is now to build on her latest effort.
Ran well last time but is more exposed than the other 3yos in this field.

Sudden Ambush

(7) Sudden Ambush 9/2, Notched a third win of the year at Windsor (8.1f) in July and, in first-time tongue strap, ran at least as well when second at this venue the following month. Unproven on the soft ground at Goodwood on his latest outing, so no surprise to see him bounce back.
Generally progressive in races at 1m; something to prove back up in distance.

Maysong

20/1(+0%)
(5) Maysong 20/1, Recorded a second win of the year when successful at Sandown (1m) in June and, after 6 weeks off, left behind a lesser effort when runner-up at Ripon in August. However, well held at Ascot on his latest outing 3 weeks ago. Capable if on a going day.
Well exposed and weighted to the hilt; others preferred.

Baltimore Boy

11/1(+8%)
(2) Baltimore Boy 11/1, Returned to all-weather and in first-time visor, bounced back to winning ways at Kempton (1m) last month and ran well when third at the same C&D next time. Possibly found race coming too soon at Southwell 4 days later, but will need everything to drop right back on turf.
Both wins on AW; turf record started out okay but has gradually deteriorated.

Out of sorts for new yard this term but has won the last two runnings of this race.

(8) Bodorgan 3/1, Successful at this course (7f) on his final start at 2 yrs and, after a couple disappointing efforts this season, made more impact than previously in handicaps when third at Haydock (8.2f) last time. Can give another good account now that he's back on track.
Possibilities granted a suitable surface (seems to need ground slightly softer than good).
LTO Selection:

17:55 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Turntable is a standing dish in this race after winning it off a rating of 81 in 2021 and off 86 last year, but he is 2lb higher now and is yet to place since joining the Harry Eustace yard. The lightly-raced REAL GAIN is preferred, despite losing his unbeaten record on his handicap debut, when running on late over a mile at York. The added furlong may see him back to winning ways here, though Sudden Ambush could also bounce back to his best if encountering a quicker surface.

Taking on his elders for the first time, CRACK SHOT wasted no time getting back on the up when successful at Newbury a month ago and he can score again with more still to offer. Real Gain has progressed with each of his 3 starts so far and is feared most back up in trip, while Sudden Ambush can fare better returned to a sounder surface.

Thrice-raced colt REAL GAIN (nap) looks capable of further progress. Fellow 3yo Crack Shot is feared most.

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.
